you
Thank you for watching!
you
A son piker, socialist, communist, radical left influencer, a son piker, dirtbag left,
Hassan Piker, pro-terrorism, pro-Hamas, Hassan Piker,
Hassan Piker, Hassan, Hassan, Hassan, Hassan, Hassan,
Hassan, Hassan, Hassan, Piker.
Going on this vulgar rant, mocking wounded war vet
for losing his eye fighting for freedom.
Have you ever heard someone mention the stri-sand effect
and wondered what they were talking about?
This phenomenon is named after actress Barbara Stri-Sand.
Sometimes when you try to cover something up,
you end up bringing more attention to it
and if you would just let things be.
They won't quit that, Hassan Piper!
Let's do co-privilege shit!
The Assemblyman will not denounce Hassan Piper, who said,
America deserve 9-11, dude.
The Assemblyman just said in his response, Hassan Piper says,
America deserve 9-11.
There you go.
There you have it.
My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty.
Now to the Michigan Senate race, where
El Sayed is campaigning in Michigan,
appearing on stage at two Michigan campaign rallies.
He's coactively campaigning alongside Piker.
The man who sent Hezbollah's flag is his favorite, because it's dope.
Why would you align yourself for a raging anti-Semite price?
Who has defended Hamas terrorists?
Calling them the lesser of 2Bs, Israel's compared to the government's evils.
Commodals strike.
Lesser of 2Bs.
What I find a bridge too far.
When I went up to my good friend, Chad, and said,
hey, you walk me through several controversial statements of a son Piker.
Even chat TPC went out of its way to soften the edges of the song and give me context.
Thanks, but no sex. Uh, chat TPC.
The song piker is campaign poison. Placing yourself on the wrong side of a 9-10 issue
is only gonna make you look bad. It's gonna be good for me. It's gonna be good for the
candidates that I work with. Turns out it was true. Abdul al-Sayed at 27 percent.
A lot of our larger male heroes, everybody.
Yes, and the two of us, huh? Welcome to the broadcast.
Thank you for having me.
Oh my god
What's going on everybody
I hope everyone's having a fantastic evening afternoon pre-noon no matter where you are in the world
them a Sompiker in the stars and I'm broadcast coming to you live from sunny California,
Los Angeles folks were alive and alive. And I hope all the boys, girls and MBS are having
a fantastic one because today's a beautiful day. Today's a wonderful day. Today is the
day I'm back. That's right, folks came back naked. Not in the way that you would expect
me too in a different way naked nonetheless naked in the face of course I'm son piker
and I shaved and I know when I usually do that people freak out unfortunately for some strange
reason but I'm back they cloned me this is a new this is a new me new year new me baby
Anyway, I'm live. I'm alive. We have a lot to a lot of news to cover. But of course, this is the part of the broadcast where I tell you about my personal news. It's my birthday.
Or it was my birthday yesterday, it turned 35.
And because I was out getting sun, as you can probably tell, I thought to myself, well,
might as well get shaved up on status.
Uh, totally officially on status at 35 and, uh, yeah, I am onk. I'm onk. I'm chunk. I'm
chopped onk. I'm chopped. Huzz. I'm all of those things. In any case, we're live, we're
alive. There's so much to talk about and I, I'm not going to lie to you. Normally when
to take a day off, when I take one day off or two days off, which is rare, uh, I often
think to myself, like, what's my comeback stream going to be like? What am I going to talk about?
What am I going to discuss? Feels good to be back, you know, all that sort of stuff, right?
Well, this time is a little different because I officially did a complete
and total vacation with the family. And by that, I mean, I completely checked out. I
brought my Pelican case with me to fire off an emergency stream, if necessary. And there
were definitely moments where I thought to myself, this is a crisis worthy of coverage.
and Whitmer endorses Abdul El Sayed. World War III is imminent. Ukraine struck an Iranian ship
expanding on the conflict, possibly opening a new front for Ukraine and maybe a new front for Iran.
White House Correspondence Dinner was put together and the president bombed in his
horrible, horrible speech that he delivered. And yet I didn't, I didn't cover any of that.
I paid attention to it, I paid attention to it from afar.
I monitored the situation as always, as I'd like to do, and I kept my comments to myself.
I kept my comments to myself.
Instead of going live, instead of going live, I just, you know, I left these nuggets of
truth and wisdom inside of my whole mind. Now, I obviously feel, you know, I feel pretty good.
I feel pretty good. The world kept ticking without you. You can take a hollabob. Okay, yeah.
We had after school day care instead. Great. Phoenix emoji. Thank you for the 35 gift to subs.
But yeah,
We're, so to get to what we're all wondering, are you gaming today?
I, I will say, I will say this, I'm already annoyed, okay?
I took four days off and normally I feel very refreshed.
Normally I feel very good coming back.
Uh, normally this is when I'm like, oh, this is exciting.
Uh, I'm back.
I love my job.
I love my community.
And I'm already fucking annoyed because for the last four days, I didn't have anybody
chirping at me.
Okay.
stop endlessly whining like little babies. So that definitely took a lot of, there was
a lot of mental strain that I was not even considering that. The average person would
say no duh, no shit. Of course you have a lot of mental strain too, but people being
like, why did you shave your facial hair? Why you look like a child? I, you shouldn't
have done that. I'm unsubscribing. Why, when are you gonna get to gaming? All of this stuff,
all of this stuff was not a part of my journey for the last four days and it felt pretty
good. It felt pretty good. I won't lie to you. I got a little bit of sun. I was in a beautiful
tropical destination with the family. I treated them to a phenomenal experience. I'm
I'm so fortunate to be able to do that and you know, it felt good.
It felt good.
I read, I read the Mal book again, trying to put a dent in that.
It's been quite difficult as you guys know.
It's become a bit of a meme at this point.
Um, I have a wedding coming up.
Want to be my plus one?
No.
Awkward Meredith.
But, in any case, it'll take a little bit of getting used to the facial hair.
I know, I understand.
My family was also annoyed with it.
My mom was annoyed with it.
My dad liked it though, so that's cool.
Yeah.
Yeah, are you going to quit and go part time now?
Of course not.
I'm back into the groove, baby.
This weekend, I'm going to be in Michigan and then also Wisconsin and then Michigan
again.
So, obviously, we're going back into the full swing of things, but I did not play
pickleball. I'll talk about my vacation experience, vacation all I ever wanted, vacation.
I don't even know how that song goes, but yeah, I'll tell you all about it. I'll tell you all
about it. But yeah, we're, we're, you know, full steam ahead, a lot going on in the world.
I'm back in LA, vacation recap.
Trump backs down.
one of those correspondents dinner speech bombed went as channel five collab
question mark we'll talk about that I got some thoughts on that as well I feel
like we're just rehabilitating the image of a neo-Nazi. It's very strange, but I shaved. Get in now.
You should have taken more me time. No, I would have probably lost my damn mind if I took more
me time than the amount of me time I've taken so far. Do we have a blast off meme, chatters?
Okay, I'll use this one. This is good.
Did you see the trailer for Neuromancer? No, I have not.
I used to hate the shave, but this time it's hot as hell. Shaving took off like eight years.
Yeah, I mean, I'm 35, man. I'm 35. I'm old. I'm an old man. So you gotta do what you gotta do.
I mean, I'm gonna grow the beard back immediately. Like I said, I needed to shave it so I could even tan on my face, you know?
Fox News did a piece on me. I mean, the hit pieces keep coming. In any case, here's the
blast off. Let the people know. Also, officially fallen off. Four days in our streaming, 10,000
Officially fall it off.
Kaisen app will maintain, Kaisen app will maintain like 80,000 subs when he has the stream for
like six months.
My community goes, nope, you're done.
LeBron to Philly will address it.
Yeah.
They're like, oh, you took a day off.
Fucking, you took four days off.
Kill yourself.
I thought you got banned.
No.
Normally, the only time I've ever taken four days in a row off is because I've been banned.
That's it.
hit pieces. You are now Joe Rogan. I guess. Alright, so let's get it started. Let's get
it started. So where do I begin? Where do I begin? Where do I begin? First and foremost,
I got on a flight Tuesday night, passed out, woke up, did not want to, did not want to
start the vacation.
I brought my Pelican case with me just so I could possibly rip a desktop stream if necessary,
right?
I wanted to potentially monitor the situation.
I wanted to, because the Trump side was possibly agitating for war, right?
Trump was posturing in the direction of expanding the war in Iran.
And if he were to do the big bomb, possibly bombing Pickax Mountain, this new target that
Israel has decided will potentially continue the conflict. The paper tiger American empire would
potentially do something crazy, right? And I obviously had to offer full spectrum coverage if that
were to take place. Now, it didn't happen. That did not happen luckily. And we're going to get to
that in a little bit. There's a good reason for it. It's all of the warnings that I've been talking
about have been realized and actualized by the administration for the first time ever,
but we'll get to that in a second. But yeah, first day slept for the most part. Beautiful,
beautiful, beautiful hotel, food is decent, and everything was, everything was great,
you know. My brother was actively trying to get me to go and, and dive with him. He's
He's a certified scuba diver and he really, really wanted me to do this.
And you guys know, I'm a little bit afraid.
I'm a little bit afraid of the ocean, big bodies of water, fish in general, right?
These are the types of things that I am fearful of.
Famously, I couldn't even finish Subnautica if you recall.
There we go.
Let's blast off one more time.
This is a blast off memes.
And so, you know, this was a big deal for me.
I know for many of you, you're like, what fish are, fish are friends?
They're chill.
You're so stupid.
Why are you even afraid of fish?
What's wrong with you?
Well, there's a good reason.
I just, you know, I've just always been afraid of the ocean, big bodies of water.
Always been afraid of big bodies of water, always been afraid of fish in general.
And I was also worried about diving as well.
the reason why I was worried about diving is because I was, uh, I, you know, there's
not only my underwater, what if I panic, right? What if a fish comes up to me and freaks me
out and then I panic and then I get the bends because I go up too fast. You know, it's an
uncontrollable environment. We're not supposed to be in that environment, right? It's human
beings. We can't breathe underwater. It's an uncomfortable situation to be in a lot of pressure too.
So first day, first day we go 12 feet, easy peasy. First day we went down 12 feet, it was easy peasy
and I got my diving wings, I got used to it. It's a very, it is a very calming experience,
ironically enough. You are effectively monitoring your breathing manually, which is very funny.
It's like a twitch meme for those of you who don't know when they go, you are now manually
breathing. You are technically manually breathing at first until you, yeah, it's meditative for sure.
It's fine, but it's kind of hypocritical because you often make fun of people who have social
phobias? Yeah, you know who else I make fun of for having a stupid phobia? Myself. Okay,
and everyone makes fun of me for that too. So what's the point? Yeah, I make fun of everybody
else and I make fun of myself and others make fun of me as well. So wait, oh, David, what
did you do? God damn it. What is happening here? He changed all of my fucking presets.
So I don't even know. Is this? Oh, there it is. Oh, Jesus Christ. Okay. Okay, I had the
was gone for like four days. So of course, David flipped everything. I just realized
that didn't have any of the alerts or anything like that.
Anyway.
So.
So, soundboard is dead?
No, it's not.
still here. But yeah, the diving experience was great the first day. Saw octopus, saw fish,
it was whatever, it was chill. The next day we were going on a deeper dive, this time 40 feet,
right? And I think like once you get used to the 10 feet, like the zero feet to 10 feet,
there's not much difference between 10 feet and 40 feet, but
The next day we saw stingrays, which was a cool experience.
And we saw sharks, which was a cool experience.
And I mean, the sharks were super chill too.
And basically I realized like, you know, fish are chill, fish are just guys.
Okay.
Fish, fish are just guys.
I didn't think about.
I always, I always thought fish were like this alien species, right?
And it does have an alien quality when you're underneath, uh, when you're,
when you're in their habitat, all of the coral reefs and all this shit, right?
All the, all the different things that are down there.
It does have a, it does have a alien quality to it,
but I always thought fish were just like nervous, panicked, alien like,
like, but when I was in their environment, they were unbelievably chill, okay? They were
unfathomably chill. They would just come up and be like, what's up? Literally, they would
just like come over and, and they were curious about who I was. We had a cultural exchange
had a cultural exchange with the fish. Same with the octopus too. The octopus still scare
me a little bit because they're too smart. You know, they have a almost human like quality
to them. It's like fucked up. Did I pet them? Yes, I fed them too. I fed a fish by hand
underwater. It was pretty cool.
Um, but yeah, it's, it's official though. I was at the straight of hormones. Okay. Yes,
I traveled down to the Gulf.
Uh, I could not go.
First, I was going to go through the Turkish Iranian border, go to Iran,
go to Southern Iran and, and dive in and, and basically pry open the straight by hand.
But instead, uh, I had to go through the golf side, uh, through Oman,
Doven through Oman and, and all I got was these, uh, aquatic experiences.
I was trying to negotiate. I was trying to pry it open. I'm a hero. I'm a hero for that.
Okay. No, I was not in Singapore in the Malacca straight because the Malacca straight is always
open. It remains open. Yeah. Did you talk to RGC? But CG is yeah.
Unfortunately, my efforts amounted to nothing. My efforts amounted to nothing. I was not able to
open the Strait of Hormuz. But while I could not deliver peace between the Islamic Republic
and the beautiful nation-state of Singapore and the United States of America, I was able
to make peace with the fish. So, not the worst possible thing. Other than that, there's really
not much going on. There's not really much going on in my life. I just, you know, I feel
refreshed. I feel pretty good. I shaved, which is apparently a big deal for some. As always,
whenever I shave, y'all turn into like little babies seeing their father shave for the first
time you start crying. Did you get a cool birthday present? I did not.
But yeah, I'm glad I did it though, because obviously there is a lot going on in the world,
a lot going on in the universe, and there is going to be even more stuff coming up this
week.
So I, you know, I took that one yearly break that I take with my family, which I usually
streamed through with the only difference this time was I didn't stream through it.
But I certainly wasn't as up to date with everything that was going on, I mean I followed,
I followed along from afar, you know I saw the ups and downs, but I will say it's good
to be back. It's good to be back. That's crazy. What the fuck? What the fuck is this? Bro,
That is okay. Okay, fair.
Birthday food review? What food review? What birthday food review? There's no birthday
food review. What does that even mean?
The comments say his girlfriend brought the pig to the bakery.
Yeah. No idea what people are saying. You look hot as fuck, Shave. Keep it up. Thank
you. Does your new relationship with fish make you more or less likely to eat them?
I am not going to eat them. I, you know, the taste of it still freaks me out. All right.
We're going to get to the news. Do we have a, do we have a playlist or is that gone too?
that over now now that we're what is this Hassan used to have fun what is this I mean
yeah I used to and I don't you didn't do anything for your actual true yeah we
You got helium balloons.
Did you know helium is going to get stings?
I have heard that.
Of course.
In any case, today we're going to be making my favorite type of cake.
It's called the Tray Leche Cake.
Triple milk.
Triple the milk.
Triple the fun.
He has made this for me before, but this time I'm going to learn how to make it myself.
And I'm very excited to have to pick this up.
Yeah, I just knotted everywhere after he was awesome.
He's not a retainer.
Do you know what a retainer is?
You call him a retainer?
Yeah, he's like a, it's like a gooner, but much better.
No.
Because he just never comes.
What are you doing back there, girl?
He's finding stuff.
Anyway, um, but yeah, we'll, while you're prepared,
we can talk about, can we like poke lips up and stuff, or?
Uh, it depends on how,
nice Nico fills. Oh, okay. Nico, do you feel nice? Do you want to pull clips up for him?
I was going to say, I saw such a basic bitch for like in Tray Leggay, that's crazy. I feel like
it's not the most basic build in terms of, is it a basic? Is it a basic bitch cake? It is? Oh my god.
It's good. It's delicious. Also, I'm Mexican. I think it's crazy that people are denying me my Mexican heritage by shitting on my favorite choice of cake
The way he pronounced it at trade leches, is it tres leches? I don't know how you're supposed to say it
Whatever it no matter. I got the playlist. Thank you chatters. I got the playlist right here. Oh my god
Okay, yeah, what is this?
This may be an unpopular tag, but I like the no facial hair today.
You're looking skinny.
Thank you.
Um, yeah, I used to have fun, man.
I used to have fun.
People are saying red velvet is their favorite cake, but red velvet is just chocolate cake.
The Sompikers controversial rise device of democratic party.
Can you unshave please?
Yes, it's called just not shaving for a couple of days.
Don't worry.
I'm on like day two so far.
So in like three days, my beard will be back.
Fox News went crazy.
They talked about you every day.
had you opening in the Hannity had you in the opening monologue two days in a row? Oh my God. They must have missed me
Did they miss me?
If there's one community that missed me is gotta be my haters, right?
Like I know I know you guys are like, oh, you didn't give me the news news boy. Fuck you, right?
I'm sure that's like a main a primary concern for many of you in this community, but let's be real. I think I
Think there was a
There's a community that missed me a lot more. And that was Fox News and my haters on the
internet. Haters on the liberal side, haters on the Republican side, doing the devastating
handshake of hell, getting together and finding new ways of yelling about me, even when I
wasn't making new content for them.
So yeah, this was very funny. This was a very funny outrage. Has Sompiker framed the 9-11
front page? This is an enemy of America. It's like, first of all, it's called never forget.
Okay. Hey Twitch, you okay with this? I don't mean that to be funny. I'm actually asking,
are you actually okay with this? Why would Twitch ban me for having a framed newspaper
of 912 of the New York Times, that would be fucking insane.
It is probably the most singularly important historic event of all of our lifetime.
That is insane.
You know, the Sompiker now displays frame nine, 12, newspaper show the Twin Towers and
flames behind him on stream. History enthusiasts when it isn't World War II or the Roman Empire.
Yeah, that was really funny.
David, but I can't even begin to explain how evil is that scumbag Sompiker has the September
12, 2001, New York Times framed on a set. You know, it's really funny about all this,
by the way. They all complained about this. And then one day later, Donald Trump came
out and was like, hey, you know that country that had the most to do with 9-11, Saudi Arabia?
I'm going to give that country nuclear weapons potentially, a pathway to develop nukes.
There is nothing funnier than watching the entire conservative sphere lose their collective minds
and try to manufacture outrage over a non-issue that most normal people will be like, yeah,
it's a fucking profoundly important historic event. And then the next day, Trump is like,
you know what, actually, 9-11, the country that had a lot to do with it, they deserve nuclear arms.
We are going to give them civilian nukes, but also potentially a pathway to nuclear enrichment.
It's hilarious. It is fucking hilarious that they went and try to manufacture in farm outrage
only to then turn around and get outdone by Donald Trump.
Yeah, whatever happened, they never forget. Well, for them, it's like I should forget it
immediately, I guess. And that's what they're frustrated about. Anyway, what does Saudi
Arabia do with it? 17 of the 19 hijackers were of Saudi descent, Saudi nationality,
and not only that, but also there were members of the royal family that had directly funded
the hijackers. Also Al Qaeda is a collaborative effort between the CIA and the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia. So they had a lot to do with it. A lot more than Iran did, for example.
Iran had nothing to do with 9-11, even though Americans think it was Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan
that had everything to do with 9-11, which is hilarious because they had nothing to do
with it at all. So, yeah. In any case, that was a farm operation, manufactured
outrage operation that I think kind of fell flat. And we moved on. What is this new Haley
Steven's soundbite from when you were gone. I told you, Justin, I left.
I mean, this is, yeah, I don't know what to say about Haley Stevens. We'll get to that in a
second. Okay, there's a lot to talk about on the Haley Stevens camp. I think all of this like,
like a cutesy, folksy, exaggerated accent of Hayley Stevens unironically is a shield,
is a way for her to basically, you know, hide the fact that she is an establishment politician,
not dissimilar to what you expect from the likes of, you know, Pete Buttigieg or any
number of different like establishment Democrats and it makes her come across like a harmless
figure when she is her policies, her agenda, her worldview is very harmful.
Yeah.
Yeah, this is a great example of this. Two cool kids on the internet doing cool kid
Shatter some of them might be coastal least make fun how I talk they're making fun of Michigan
It's like bro. You literally endorse Michael Bloomberg. I'm like, what are you talking about you endorse Michael Bloomberg for president in 2020?
The fuck do you mean about the coastal Lee? She is just a corporate suit and nothing else
I guess no jokes are allowed when you turn 35. Huh? No, I just I'm getting acclimated Chatter
I just got back
I mean, I traveled for like basically 15, almost 20 hours, okay?
And immediately came home and immediately fucking fired off the stream.
So I'm a little bit all over the place.
I'm a little discombobulated, even though I'm actually feeling unbelievably refreshed
because I took, you know, four days off.
But yeah, I traveled a lot.
So and and instantly got off the flight and went live.
So yeah, excuse me if I'm, I'm a little bit frazzled, okay.
Um, are we just going to ignore level 10 hype train earlier level 20 hype train because
all of the people are coming back to subscribe today because they, I wasn't live.
So level 10 hype trend price went up or carry in the flame.
We're doubling it.
You look refreshers of light in your eyes that I find unsettling.
Okay.
Anyway, let's get started.
Fox News missed me a lot.
It seems we'll start there.
There's a lot to talk about.
We're going to talk about the Shredder Hormose.
We're going to talk about situation monitoring.
We're going to talk about the American war efforts.
on day 14 post-MOU and last night or this weekend, Trump signaled that he was going
to do something crazy and then chose to pull back from it.
Because of the reasons that we've mentioned already, there's a lot of structural and logistical
limitations. There's limitations in the procurement strategy of the American side. They don't
have enough interceptors. They've depleted their standoff munitions, they've depleted
their interceptors, and it's not a great situation for the American side. And on top of that,
I think the Iranian regime's efforts in increasing the, what is this? Other Fox News article,
Hassan Farla figure erupt over subpoenas and $39 million Singham probe, McCarthy trials
for the far-left allies slam the spinners of the witch hunt while fundraising campaigns were also
initiated. Yeah, it's kind of funny that they're trying to tie me to Roy Singham so hard. Like,
I have no connection to this man. Not that it matters because it's still, as a commentator,
as an analyst, as a leftist, as a socialist, yeah, of course, I'm very frustrated by the federal
government engaging in this like fascist witch hunt regardless of my my lack of direct relationship
or involvement with Roy Singham. You finally got subpoenaed. No, I did not get subpoenaed.
Shatter. You both wear glasses. It's true. We both do wear glasses. Anyway, we'll get to all
that and more there's a Netanyahu there's a Netanyahu forceful rebuke and more but first
let's start here deserve 9 11 dude i'm saying it will inevitably turn israel into a nation
that is entirely comprised of messianic inbred ultra orthodox psychopaths with a nuclear arsenal
Mao Zedong is a yeah, um backs by the way again, this is so funny like
It's it's really is really funny that these guys will clip this and be like see
Look at how look at how frustrating this is. It's like. Yeah, you should hear what the the more liberal
Ashkenazi Jews have to say about where Israel is headed
What I can't make a fucking assessment about where Israel is headed given it's like demographic increases
is exclusively coming from some of the most far-right elements in Israeli society?
Yeah.
That's what this argument is, and it's where Israel is headed.
What am I not supposed to tell you the truth?
I don't give a shit.
Does this fake outrage even work?
No, it doesn't.
It's just like, it's unbelievably silly.
Like, what I'm referencing is that Israel is inevitably going to turn into a country run
run exclusively by Itamar Ben-Givir's and, and Bezalel Smalltrich's, right?
That's it.
Which is exactly what's going on. And that's a real concern, even in Israeli society broadly,
whether we give a shit about what like, uh, liberal Zionists, uh, uh, whether we give a
shit about what liberal Zionists are concerned with or not. There's a separate demographic
concern amongst liberal Zionists in Israel, amongst the more liberal elements that wanna
maintain a close relationship with the West. And that is the fear that they're being outbred.
There's two different demographic concerns in Israel, broadly speaking. One is the non-Jew
population, the non-Jewish population potentially outbreeding the Jewish population, which is not
that big of a concern for Israeli society broadly, because the Orthodox population, the ultra-Orthodox
population are actually keeping Israel the Israeli demographic concerns at bay,
because they oftentimes will have a lot of children, right? But this presents a unique
demographic concern for some of the more liberal elements in Israeli society, because a lot of
of these guys are very right-wing. Okay, that's it. So, while Israel has taken the initiative
to insure, and this is eugenics for the most part, let's be real, but while Israel has
taken the initiative to try to stave off some of these demographic concerns coming from
the Arab population, the other side of the story is something that they haven't been
able to deal with it all, which is that the Israeli demographic replacement is not actually
coming from the non-Jews that live in Israel or live outside of Israel but have a right
to return technically, but it's actually coming from the replacement, coming from West Bank
settlers for the most part, also Orthodox and Orthodox Jewish sects that tend to be
a far more right wing. Now, there's obviously no monolithic understanding of any religious
entity in this country, or in all countries. So obviously there's some ultra orthodox that are
anti Zionist as well. But ultimately, these are more fundamentalists sects of this same religion.
They are going to be the only generation, like the next generation is going to be entirely
comprised or overwhelmingly comprised of more far-right elements in Israeli society. We've
already seen the Israeli politics change as a consequence of this. When you look at the
younger, when you look at the youth vote in Israel, the youth vote is actually further
to the right than the elderly vote. It's unlike anything else. It's unlike any other country.
If you look at the youth vote in Israel, the youth actually vote overwhelmingly in favor
of Itamar-Bengivir over Bezalos-Montage, for example. There's this distinction between
the two because they think Bezalos-Montage is not radical enough.
Isn't that crazy?
Anyway, that's what my reference was to Israeli society and the demographic changes that are
taking place in Israeli society.
Orthodox psychopaths with a nuclear arsenal, Mao Zedong is one of the great leaders of
this world. I finally framed the Cutie Cinderella newspaper from 9-11 the morning of 9-12, the
newspaper right there.
That is controversial and far left streamer Hassan Piker, who has built a platform on
anti-American, anti-Israel rhetoric, and is a massive, massive following and doing so.
But who is Hassan Piker and how did he get so much influence? Let's take a look. Hassan
Piker is born in New Jersey.
This is crazy. They dedicated the, the power wall, they dedicated the power wall to my,
to my, uh, rise into the power. Like I'm, like I'm a, uh, a fucking far away dictator.
Okay. And in a, in a Marxist Leninist party that, uh, uh, seized power over, uh, with
like military means or something. Like we did a coup d'etat and we took over and, you
I run Burkina Faso or something. Like what the fuck? I am an American Twitch streamer, okay?
I'm not running for office. I'm just an American Twitch streamer who has a political perspective
that some, especially in the halls of power, find to be threatening, okay? And it's understandable
that they consider it to be threatening because they're not exactly up to share any of that power,
any of those resources, they wanna continue to consolidate, okay? So there is a threat to them,
and if you are a servant of capital, like Fox News is, like many in mainstream,
in many of our mainstream outlets are, of course, you find this to be a significant threat,
a real existential danger. I don't think it has to be that way. But if you're wondering why this
This is happening. If you're wondering why Fox News is covering me like this while I'm
gone, well, there's a reason for it. It's because their bosses and their bosses' bosses,
I guess, find the level of influence that I have in American politics to be an ever-present
danger to their profit margins, of course.
But it is very funny.
He has family ties, you recognize this guy, he entered political media as the young Turks
co-founders nephew that's Sink Uyghur who you remember very much following in the footsteps
of Hasan Piker starts building an online empire turning his daily stream that everybody from
to have Abdul-al-Sayed wants to be on AOC.
And he turned these live streams into an audience
of 10 million followers,
part of why he is so front and center
as a voice of young Democrats.
His political access with major progressive stars
appear on his show.
They're literally like,
it's like Joe Rogan trying to get on his show.
If you are a far left progressive Democrat,
his radical record though cannot be denied.
He's called religious shoes inbred,
defended how Moss continues to do that and apologize after saying that America deserved
9-11. In the latest firestorm, address college Democrats in a Mao style suit. Look at that.
In its interesting guy.
How was that? He went from implying that I appreciated 9-11 to, and he wore a suit and
it's fucked up. What a high note to end it on, man.
Because just think the list of pro-America conservative speakers that have been booted
from college campuses across the country is too long to list. It would take a half an
hour to lay them out. And yet here, college Democrats want this highly controversial,
anti-American, anti-Semitic person to address them.
Well, so how did Hassan piker become a leading voice for young liberals while next guest is a young Democrat
That's what Katie calling on his generation for platforming piker. He says that is reprehensible
He's also the president of young Democrats at mass of Massachusetts
Jack
Parenick joint
There's something really funny about this because I have no idea who this guy is and I assume this guy is not even like
Part of the college Democrats of America. This is like an entirely separate group, right?
I don't know who this guy is, but it is very funny that he's just like going on
fascist news, going on the reactionary mega propaganda apparatus to disavow
his left flank. Okay. I mean, sure. He's a DGG guy. Awesome. Great. Who cares? You guys
don't have to understand something. Okay. Young Democrats of America is different than
the College Democrats of America, first of all. Young Democrats are part of the DNC. They're
funded by the Democratic Party. So is the College Democrats, even though they're not very well funded
by the DNC. But what you have to remember, it doesn't even matter that this guy is an orbiter
of a sex pest or anything like that. I don't even give a shit about the DGG sex pestony affiliations.
What he's doing here is going on box news as the face of a young Democratic Party organization,
a part of the DNC apparatus, to attack their left flank.
You're never supposed to do this, okay?
You're not supposed to do this.
You should, under no circumstances, find yourself, especially if you feel like you want to have
a future in the Democratic Party, or if you want to have a future in any kind of opposition
party, you should never geniflect to MAGA.
You should never cede on their framing, your opposition's framing in general.
You should never turn around and collaborate with them.
You should not do that at all.
As a matter of fact, one of the few people that does this consistently is John Fetterman.
You don't want to be in that, in the ranks with John Fetterman, especially if you feel
like you have a future in the Democratic Party, okay?
So now, Jack, welcome to the show.
So you say that young Democrats should be careful about, as you call it, platforming
Hassan Piker and fighting into universities.
Why do you say that?
Should we have more open discussion and on both sides,
or you're saying he shouldn't be allowed on campus?
Well, I totally believe in going places
where you have to talk to people
that don't necessarily think the way that you do.
You know, it's why I'm here on Fox News this morning.
But I think the most important thing to understand
about Hassan Piker is that he is someone
who is just totally reprehensible,
but he does have this large following.
And I think one of the most important things
that Democrats can do, go out there,
talk to his followers, talk to the people
who are disaffected with both parties
and are listening to him.
But platforming him, I think, was something
that was almost immediately meant to be a backlash.
Why do you think he's popular, Jack?
There's a lot of people right now
who don't feel comfortable embracing
either party establishment,
and we see that on the left and the right.
I think Hassan Piker sounds a lot more
like radical figures on the right, like Nick Fuentes.
Then he does like a lot of Democrats,
and I think he said it best himself.
He came to this convention to speak
and used half of his time defending why
almost everyone hates him,
in the other half of this time.
This doesn't make sense.
You can't on the one hand say I'm unbelievably popular
and I've been able to capture the attention
of a lot of disillusioned young people
that do not like either party and then turn around
and say he everybody hates him actually.
Like, which is it?
Do I hold the levers of power?
Am I this unfathomably popular person or am I a guy that everybody hates?
It doesn't really make sense.
There are, this is, I would say this is the last gasp of a dying movement in general,
like liberalism is cratering in support, in popularity, it's been the lay of the land
for almost the past century, right? And that's part of the reason why it's kind of falling apart.
The reason why it's kind of falling apart is because people understandably attribute
all of the current struggles that they're experiencing back to liberalism, because liberalism
has been the monoculture, liberalism has also been, liberal capitalism has also been the
only game in town.
So even if people don't have the political education to fully comprehend that they might
personally not be liberals, they might be something a little bit more radical, quote,
unquote, radical, or whatever, it doesn't really matter.
They just look at it and they go, this is the establishment, the establishment has not delivered
for me.
I may have even voted for an anti-establishment candidate in the form of Donald Trump to break
this duopoly with the false assumption that Donald Trump was going to be different.
And my point always has been that there is a collaborative effort in certain instances
between some in the establishment on the Democratic Party and the establishment on the Republican
Party.
proof in the pudding. This basically proves the argument. When you go on Fox News to attack
your left flank and say, oh, his politics are odious. He's very popular, but also very,
very unpopular at the same time. And we should listen to him. We should talk to his audience,
but we shouldn't actually platform him. You're not making a coherent through line. You don't
have a coherent through line in your ideology. It's just simply attack the left flank and
you will go to unbelievable lengths to do so, including directly collaborating with the
fascist reactionary, MAGA Trump news outlet.
You are now going on the same news outlet that defends the Epstein class.
You're going on the same news outlet that defends robbing people of their healthcare,
that defends going to war, endless wars.
of a sudden, you find yourself aligned with some true, truly toxic, truly odious people
and some really reactionary politics.
And that's the issue, right?
That's the issue.
The question is very simple.
Do you think I am a bigger threat to American politics than the entire MAGA machine?
Because now you're going to the belly of the beast.
And for many liberals, I think the answer is pretty simple.
They've already chosen which side they're on.
They do not want to be on the side of the working class, they do not want to be on the
side that that centers the needs of the working class at the heart of their politics, they would
much rather, what is this? Oh, thank you. What? Okay.
They would much rather side with the fascists than they would with their left flank.
And part of the reason why, I mean, this is part of the reason why the Democrats have
been objectively unpopular, right?
Like, in many respects, those to our left that routinely criticize us, that routinely
criticize us and tell us that we are actually rehabilitating the liberal Zionist genocidal
Democratic Party's image, there is a little bit of, there is a little bit of truth in
that criticism, okay? Not entirely correct, obviously, because what kind of Democrats
are you electing is the real question here. Who are you electing? Are you using the Democratic
Party as a platform to reach a broader consensus, reach a broader audience, reach the masses
with your politics, or are you actually rehabilitating the Democratic Party is the real question?
Now, aside from that though, the criticism is somewhat not unfounded, partially because
there is an element of breathing life back into the Democratic Party through these grassroots
movements that we have been able to build.
Not only are we establishing a base, not only are we establishing a machine, but we're also
associating these popular politics with the Democratic Party, even if the Democratic Party
fights back tooth and nail. So from that perspective, this is unbelievably stupid. You're attacking
the grassroots mobilization that's taking place that's like unironically rehabilitating
the image of the Democratic Party a little bit, right? The association with Democratic
socialism for Democrats is not a negative one. It's actually a positive one for the
broader national party
anyway
i got a few minutes after the democratic party
uh... and i think that that's you know the kind of kind of uh... speech that
isn't helpful to the democrats
but it is helpful in the to get an even larger number of people disaffected
uh... but i think that the desire to go out and reach out to the people
uh... who are listening to him right now is a good one in the college thems if
they continue that approach of talking to people who are very skeptical of the
democratic party
are on a good path to regain more supporters
well you know jack first of all we are grateful to you for coming on and
talking about this and we appreciate your
uh... willingness to to engage uh... it's a very important part of our our
country and i get what you're saying about how he
uh... there are a lot of people in the in the world who feel disaffected but
this guy talks about very specific things
what is it that uh... that
from you know a lot of young people obviously what is it
draws people to the specific things
that Hassan Piker talks about that you find so,
that we all find so repeller.
Yeah, I mean, I think so many people have lost faith
in the ability of the American political system
to effect change that his calls for a revolution
become appealing because people feel
that that's the only way.
And I think that this goes to the need for Democrats
to really show that they're delivering.
But I think Hassan in particular,
part of the reason why he's just such an awful speaker
and a messenger for this voice,
particularly for college democrats one of the things i heard a lot about there
was his objection to
you know this is someone who thinks the rape on college campuses is hilarious
and something to be joked about
uh... it was a message that particularly young people
uh... you know it was really helpful to uh... so many of the people who didn't
know who he was before you know all that's yeah no he's uh... this this makes
sense as to why he's the fucking uh... sex past any orbiter
that's uh... that's not true
obviously
now he's he's
he is using
My criticisms of Liberty University, which Fox News has defended over and over again, saying,
yeah, this is a sex-past any mutant talking point, one of those talking points that mutates into
something totally ridiculous. Liberty University did a anti-title, anti-title 10, created an anti-title
10 college campus. And my criticism of that turned into, who's on poker wants white rich
College girls would be date rape bullshit. It's completely fucking made up
It is completely made up
Or i title nine. Sorry not title 10s. I apologize title nine
um
That's what it is
It was my criticism of of a college campus that was expressly designed around
Uh, not allowing title nine not allowing any sort of like date rape or rape, uh, uh
investigations take place on college campus to basically cordon off all the
rapes that are self-selecting and self-identifying to go there. I wonder
if that space even stops and thinks about why they can only get their slander
on Fox News? No, I don't think they care. I don't think they care about it. I think
they are actively collaborating with the fascists to to clean up their left flank.
Like this person's entire purpose here stops enemy videos about Israeli tourists being
evil. Okay. I'm not going to watch that right now. Steve's for real. Please, please just
take a day off. Okay. I just got back. There's a million things I'm going to cover. I'm not
kind of look at that right now. Yeah, no, this is, this is cut a liberal and a fascist bleeds
in real life. Okay, this is what's going on. This is, this is precisely what's taking place.
For, for these guys, they only care about destroying their left flank and they will go
to any lengths they can, they will collaborate with the fascist administration as they are doing here.
Okay, with the hopes that the Trump movement only focuses their animosity, their enmity,
and their ridiculous legal pursuits that are objectively illegal when they prosecute political
dissidents to communist, socialist, anarchists, to these guys' left flank. They don't realize that
this actually will inevitably turn on them as well. This machine historically has turned
down the liberals that have collaborated and cooperated with the fascists, and it will once again,
but they're too stupid and they're too short-sighted, or perhaps they're just straightforwardly fascist
and will become loud and proud advocates of the fascist movement, and they won't remain
Democrats once that turn takes place. Okay.
Seeing him come out dressed as Matt was really helpful to a lot of people to
know that this was not someone serious. Yeah. It was there to talk and it was you
know people streamed out of the room. You can't see it in that shot there but
people streamed out of the room so much so they had to close the doors to the
auditorium. Yeah, he's just making, uh, he's just making shit up, which is so crazy. Like,
none of this happened. None of the things that he's saying that I have said are real,
none of the things that happened in that room. Like I got a fucking standing ovation. You can
see in the shop, but this is make belief. Okay. Yeah. Everyone was, uh, everyone that was off
camera was actually in agreement with me. They were really frustrated about, uh, the way Hassan
was talking about the Democratic Party. But yeah, yeah, they did show the crowd. It's on the stream.
Not that it matters. Why? Because again, I am criticizing the form here, okay? I'm criticizing
the function and I'm criticizing the form. I'm criticizing the medium that this person is choosing
to lean into, okay? Because it's fucking unbelievable. It's unbelievable and utterly unacceptable
that someone who chooses to associate themselves with the youth wing of the Democratic Party
would actively go on Fox News to criticize another youth wing of the Democratic Party
and to criticize a person to their left flank. Okay?
It's completely unacceptable.
Stop the mass departure. Four whole state delegations walked out in their entirety.
And it was funny that congressional candidates in our plus 30 districts
got 10 times the applause that he did because people kind of know that he's
a hackster not to be taken care of.
The fact that he is a fraud, does that matter if you've got millions of people who are listening to him and following him?
Yeah, I mean absolutely. You have to go out and talk to the people who think that, you know, right now there is no hope in the Democratic Party.
So they're looking for figures like Piker.
Yeah.
What's really, what's really interesting about this is like, are you going to present that hope?
Is the hope,
is the hope
for new Democrats
charting a new path forward, going to be doing the exact same thing that, you know, Hilary
Rodham Clinton did, doing the exact same thing that the establishment has done over and over
again to varying degrees of failure.
Do you see what I mean?
Like you don't have a vision in the affirmative.
So much so that you are choosing to collaborate with fascists, okay?
You're choosing to go on the fascist platform to rail against your left flank.
What is your vision? What is your vision for a better future? How are you going to chart
a vision in the affirmative for a better path forward that will get people excited, that
will get people off their asses and go out and vote, go out and actually push the Democratic
Party?
What's the vision? Better things are not possible. Would you ever critique moderate Dems? Of
Of course, I critique moderate Dems all the time, but my criticism of moderate Dems and
the right wing of the party is the same exact criticisms that I have for the Republican Party.
It's not about the aesthetics.
It's not about the fact that I said on Fox News, oh, if I ever went on Fox News, I would
have a lot more to say about Fox News, even if I were to actually critique the moderate
wing of the party, I would not agree with the Fox News criticisms of the Democratic Party
broadly because it's inappropriate, because it's not true.
As much as I have, and I would love to go on fucking Fox News, they just won't have
me on, they would much rather have people like this on.
You will not find me agreeing with Fox News on Fox News, okay?
That's the problem.
Like what he could have said here, what he could have said here, if he was an actual,
if he was actually invested in like a big tent or something like that, what he could
have said here is this.
Passant says a lot of things that I don't agree with, but he says a lot of things that
are truthful.
For example, he says that the Republican Party is a firm and committed defender of the Epstein
class.
And this is exactly the kind of odious politics that Fox News actually defends vociferously.
Okay, so let's not talk about a Twitch streamer that has a grassroots momentum backing him
or a movement that is actually breathing life back into the Democratic Party, even if I
don't agree with everything that they're saying and doing.
Ultimately, the real problem is those who control all of the levers of power in this
country would have, which happens to be the Republican Party, right?
The Republican Party controls every branch of the government.
They've actually filled the courts all the way up to the Supreme Court with some of the
worst, most reactionary judges. They are dominating American politics and Americans are sick and
tired of it.
And they're now finally recognizing that voting for the Republicans, voting for the anti-establishment,
the fake right wing, sloppulous, is not actually going to change the system. It's not actually
changing the system for the better at all. And Fox News has been defending this system,
the establishment. Republicans for the longest time have been able to present themselves as
anti-establishment. Democrats, I think, need to learn from that. They need to figure out how
the Republicans have been able to do this. Like, there is a way to critique me,
even if you went on Fox News, okay? But he's not doing that. He's just there to
to rip apart slander smear at the left flank movement, okay?
That's it. He wants to be, his lifelong dream I suspect is to be a corporate stooge, a Haley
Stevens type, propped up by the establishment and moneyed interest and never understanding
why the Democrats keep losing. You are being played a fool. You're a useful idiot for the
right
we're talking about the ability to affect broad change i think the reality is
though though that there could not be anyone less politically influence of all
right now
uh... and it's funny even in you know i i've talked to a lot of people
uh... you know i call this comments reprehensible uh... friend of mine reminded
me that zoran mondami said the same thing about his comments and i really
think that uh... he's you know
been a very successful person in uniting the democratic party against his
Yeah, they're like, no, no, no, Zoran is good. Hassan is bad. True. Fine. I'll take it. AOC is
good. Hassan is too radical. Keep pointing to all the, next up, they'll be like, Abdul
El Sayed is good. Hassan is too radical. It's fine. I'll take it. No, I'll take it. Yeah,
all of these guys, all of these people that I work with actively, that I've propped up,
they all, that means that they are becoming undeniable within the system, within the ranks
of the party. They've become so unfathomably popular amongst the base that he can't actively
shit on them. I'm sure before Zoran ran, I'm sure before Zoran became the winner of the Democratic
party, or even after Zoran became the winner of the Democratic party, he still probably had
his opinions on him, his negative associations, his negative opinions with Zoran and his politics.
But now he can't say anything about it. Why? Because DSA is becoming undeniable, okay? That's it.
Yeah, John Federman and Jared Polis, Fox and the GOP's favorite Democrats.
Every Democrat that falls out of favor will then go
To Fox news to run there and to say oh, we hate this left flank shit. We hate this stuff. We hate it so much
It's like if you did
If you did and if you actually had the the overarching
Uh approval of the entire democratic parties based on your side, you wouldn't have to go to Fox news and cry
Okay
These candidates would not even win.
My dad even called us out.
He thought it was strange that Fox News was praising.
They hated like three months ago.
Exactly.
It's anti-Semitic and hateful comments.
Well, and Jack, you know, as you mentioned,
he said in his speech to the Democrats,
college Democrats, that he is coming for the establishment
and with such a following, as Charlie points out,
we'll see where this goes.
Jack Pernick, thank you for joining us.
We want to have you come back as we continue to follow this.
Have a great weekend.
Thank you.
Thanks, Jack.
All right, be sure to like and subscribe for
In reality his negative views are on probably continue for months even after he got elected mayor until his record was undeniable. Yes, these guys are all
These guys are all fraudulent
But it's good
That means we are fucking winning. Okay
That means we're winning is that simple i'm one person i don't give a shit if uh, if i'm the tank
Yeah. I saw the news nation, uh, DSA co-chair was asked about me as well. Okay. It's so funny
that they were like demanding that the democratic socialists of America disavow me as well,
which I find very funny.
What about this comment? What about that comment? Do you disavow this comment? Do you disavow
that comment, DSA co-chair, why don't you disavow Hassan Piker? It's like, here's the thing. Okay,
we have to remain strong. We have to remain consistent. We have to be disciplined. Okay.
That's part of the reason why even if I hear something on the DSA platform that I don't,
you know, fully agree with or think is like, optically not the best or whatever the fuck,
I will still stand by my allies, okay? You are not disciplined? Yes, I shaved. I am not disciplined,
exactly. The reason why, the reason why I stand by my comrades, my allies in the Democratic Socialist
of America is because they are far closer to me, if not damn near identical with my world
view than even the right wing centrist Democrats are and certainly the reactionary right.
We have to have a principled stance. We can have our minor disagreements. We can have our
minor disagreements. But ultimately, if we start disavowing one another, then there is no movement.
Okay? I think that kind of stuff is silly. It's one of the most toxic aspects of the left.
Okay? One of the most toxic aspects of the left is constantly seeking some semblance of purity
by those who never even demonstrate that purity or demonstrate the same moral standards that
that they're applying to you, okay?
You think I'm going to sit there
and listen to a goddamn fascist demand
that I disavow people who are closest to me politically?
Are you out of your fucking mind?
Are you insane?
Are you out of your mind?
That's ridiculous.
That's why we should stop calling people ultra is exactly like the call on the left tankies.
Yes, the problem is there are records, okay? There are records if they just shut the fuck
up about how reformist the Democratic Socialists of America are, then I would never, there is,
for years and years, okay? People have called me a tanky.
I don't care. I don't care about that. People have called me an ultra. People have called
me a taggy. They still are doing it. They're doing it every day. They're trying to turn
me into a boogeyman. The problem is, the people who consider themselves to be further to my
left don't recognize what's going on. And they just constantly are trying to destroy
what exists of like left mobilization in this fucking country, okay? That's the problem.
So I'm consistent on this.
I'm consistent on this.
There are those law, come on law, wrecking the DNC.
Yes, dude, the DNC, that's what we're doing here.
This is what I mean.
This is what I'm talking about, okay?
Come on, man, the DSA left is not trying to destroy the left.
What?
No, I'm not fucking criticizing the DSA left at all.
I'm talking about are people who instead of like the other guy, that wasn't the DSA left
that I just banned, okay?
What I just banned in that situation is someone behaving like a fucking wrecker.
When you have, when DSA itself has the entire federal apparatus constantly surveilling everything
that they do, when I have the State Department actively calling me out, and there are people
who still come in here and they go, no, you're actually not a true revolutionary, fuck you,
you're actually fake and phony. Focus your sights, train your sights on the fascists.
What the fuck are you doing? Immediately choosing to attack your closest fucking friends,
your closest ideological allies in this moment, in this moment where the fascist government
is actively trying to basically throw every single political dissonant into concentration
camps is unbelievably annoying. It's friendly fire. Of course, I'm going to yell about that.
I just gave you an example of people to my right within the DSA right that I do not oppose or
criticize publicly, even if I have my disagreements with them. And the same goes for people on my
left as well, people to my left flank, you know, the Maoist Third Worldists and whatnot.
The only time I ever apply criticism is when they,
whether they be to my right or to my left,
are coming after a broad anti-fascist coalition.
That is what they are wrecking.
Do you understand?
It is those who are deeply unserious and do not recognize
is the necessity for as broad of a movement as possible that will oppose fascism in this
country that is growing, that I criticize no matter who they are.
I mean, look, I just criticized a liberal Democrat who's actively coming after the entirety of
the left flank.
They don't make any distinction between you or I. Neither does the Republican Party.
And the Republican Party doesn't even make a distinction between liberals and people
on our side, okay?
Is that simple?
Socialism and Radicalism is simply a vessel to overthrow the U.S. of our country from
within.
The plan, as stated in the DSA's chapter, win elections, throw out the Constitution,
abolish the Senate, abolish the Electoral College, of course you want to stack the courts,
strip away all powers from the White House and Supreme Court, and then, boom, Democratic
Socialism class communism just you know regular old that'll be the end of America as we know it
Where is this
There was someone talking about the the point of of
You know record you're wrecking the dnc you're wrecking the organization within the dnc
If you don't understand what we're trying to do here, and if you can't even comprehend why the Republicans are losing their goddamn minds over this and why the
center of power in the right wing
The right wing of the Democratic Party is losing their goddamn minds and they're cooperating with the fucking fascist right in this country
That's not our fault. Okay?
If this movement was unimpactful if this movement was simply posturing from the outside
side, okay? And offering constant critique instead of trying to do something to make
this change, then yes, this wouldn't be happening right now, okay? I've been saying the same
things for a decade now. Why am I getting constant round-the-clock coverage from Fox
News? Okay, there have been moments that I've been featured on Fox News, but never to this
degree. Why? Why is it that only now are many of the organs of propaganda on the mainstream
right and the mainstream center right from CNN, CBS and Fox News? Why are they coming
after me as aggressively as they can? Because they're not coming after me, they're coming
after all of us, okay? I'm just a figurehead. Even if I don't choose that moniker myself,
And if I disavow that, it doesn't matter.
That's the way they're presenting it.
They're not talking about me when they say this stuff.
They're talking about anyone that wants to progress in this country.
Anyone that wants to pull back the Overton window closer to the left.
Anyone that wants to fight for healthcare.
Anyone that is even capable or invested in criticizing Donald Trump, okay?
That is what they choose, what they want to destroy.
That's their goal. And if you can't comprehend it, I don't know what to tell you.
That is their goal though. Their goal isn't to just like, you know, section off different
aspects of the left and offer a critical lens. Their goal is not to make the Democratic party
more competitive. You can't be stupid enough to believe that, right?
Do you genuinely believe that? Do you think that these guys are actually invested in making
the Democratic Party a strong Democratic Party by cutting off their left movement, their
left flank.
The Republicans, you think the same Republicans that have been calling Nancy Pelosi a communist
for the last two decades, all of a sudden now are making that distinction between Nancy
Pelosi and people like myself?
Where is that coming from, you think?
You think Fox News cares about having a strong Democratic Party?
or do you think they're actively trying to foment discontent within the left by targeting
the base, by targeting the base, by picking, you know, DSA, its platform, it's too radical,
someone like myself saying that I'm too radical, I'm too crazy.
Now, you can vote your way into socialism, but you can't vote your way out of it.
Sounds extreme?
Yeah, because it is.
And don't forget, Democratic socialists, they don't love this country.
One of their core leaders, Hasan Piker, said America deserved 9-11, this is the 25th anniversary
of 9-11-01.
And now, in his podcast, he proudly displays a framed newspaper.
a look at this from 9 12 01 showing the twin towers on fire. Take a look. Also, you might
have noticed something some changes behind me. Um, I finally framed the cutie Cinderella
newspaper from 9 11 the morning of 9 12 the newspaper right there. Um, the newspaper that
recovered 9-11. It's now officially sitting behind me and I moved the North Korean poster.
Recently, the college Democrats invited Piker to speak at their annual convention. He showed
up dressed like a Chinese dictator and delivered a hate-filled rant against all of his political
enemies, including Israel, Donald Trump and other Democrats. The speech was kind of insane,
and saying that the University of Kansas Democrats, they actually got up and walked out later condemning.
This didn't happen.
But I like that they're, again, they're making shit up.
They are merging different groups that are not a part of this organization. They're saying like,
like, oh, Kansas Democrats actually got mad. Oh, young Democrats got mad. These are not
the same, these are not the same organizations. But of course, Fox News lies about everything.
They lie when ICE guns down another American citizen or someone with a legal permanent
residency in the country. Why would you think that they're being honest in this moment?
Right? They lie about everything. So the question I have, the question I have for like the dummies
still refuse to comprehend what's going on. They lie about everything. Why would they be truthful
about this? They hate you, even if you are a liberal, even if you're a liberal Democrat,
and you're like, I just want moderate changes to take place at a reasonable pace.
They make no distinction between you, okay? They make no distinction between you and I.
There will come a moment where you will have to pick a side. Okay? That incrementalism is not going to save you. It's not. It's not going to save you at all.
of course, Piker. Well, wasn't just dressed like Chairman Mao for fun. He actually reveres
one of, well, history's most evil and murderous dictators ever to exist on this planet. Take
a look.
They clipped me talking about Mao Zedong up by a cop who thought it was like making fun
of Mao Zedong, which I never would and never will. Mao Zedong is one of the great leaders
of this world. A man who changed the entire universe, the entire planet. He did. He changed
the trajectory of history. He is the founding father of the People's Republic of China.
Mao Zedong gets the same level of credit that the founding fathers do for America.
So now tens of millions of Chinese citizens is true facts here post this clip to Sean.
Why won't Sean Hannity have me on the to discuss this stuff?
He said he was supposed to and instead he chose not to have me on and talk about me
instead is very interesting.
What are you afraid of Sean?
We can discourse back and forth on this issue, whatever issue you want to talk about.
Dude, this is actually concerning. It's not fucking normal that Fox is reporting on everything you say or do and portraying you some scary villain.
I swear to God, they want someone to harm you. They know what they're doing. Yes, they do.
Um, Chinese citizens don't have a problem with Mao. Why are they portraying it like he's feared and hated by the Chinese people?
Yeah. Well, for them, it's 1.4 billion Chinese people actually are brainwashed or too terrified to say anything about Mao Zedong.
That's what it is. Like, you can't have a, you can't have a sober assessment of his contributions and also his excesses at the same time,
which is the Chinese government's position as well. Ironically enough, and it's, uh, you know, they're, they're less critical than I am,
them, you know, as far as the cultural revolution goes. But even they recognize the, the harms
that took place. And so do I. But again, for these people, they don't want to have like
a, a real assessment. They don't want to have a real tabulation. They don't want to look
at the, the complex historical figure that was Mao Zedong. They simply want to say he
is Chinese Hitler. And what's really interesting about that is, whether you hate China, whether
you actively want to foment hatred towards China or not, it doesn't matter. If you see China as a
foreign adversary, you must still understand China. If you see China as another great power in the
world that you want to cooperate with rather than constantly saber-rattle against, you must still
understand China. And that's what's really interesting about this. So, I listened to the
Ezra Klein conversation that took place on my flight back, okay, where Ezra Klein had the
former Prime Minister of Australia, Kevin Rudd on. Kevin Rudd is probably one of the best China
understanders in the Western world. This man has obsessively studied contemporary Chinese history
all the way from college and then he has had a, you know, direct relationship with Xi Jinping as well
at his time in the Australian Foreign Service and then, you know, later on as an Australian diplomat
and also the 26th Prime Minister of Australia from 2007 to 2010.
Like throughout, like he has personally experienced Xi Jinping's rise to power. He is personally a decent understanding
of China. He was China maxing before anyone else was. Now, he's not the biggest fan of China by
any means. However, unlike many of his counterparts, he recognizes that in order to develop even a
critical understanding of China, in order to develop the best defenses against China, if that's
your goal, you still have to understand China. You still have to understand Marxist Leninism. You
You have to understand Xi Jinping's rise to power.
No one in the Western world, many of the Western analysts actually fail to do this adequately,
which is why they constantly find themselves lost, okay?
That's it.
It's unbelievably stupid.
In a way, it's no different than what the right-wing was saying about Mark Milley.
When Mark Milley came out and was like, of course I've read Mao Zedong, of course I've
read formative Marxist literature, and we continue to teach that to our officers.
We continue to teach that to people who end up becoming generals.
The reason for why we do that is because we must understand the enemy.
We must study the enemy.
If we choose to understand it, if we choose to, you know, fight back effectively, okay?
So my argument here in this circumstance, regardless of my difference in opinion with
the likes of Kevin Rudd, right, who is arguably no fan of China, my argument for those who
just simply go, oh dude, you're a fucking silly radical, shut the fuck up.
My argument always is, no, you have to read, you have to understand, even if you hate China,
still have to understand China. Otherwise, you're going to be like, how do they become
this behemoth? How do they become the superpower over the course of three decades? How did
that happen? You'll get lost. And I don't understand why I have studied fascists as
well. Doesn't mean I like fascism, but I have to understand it. I have to understand where
these guys are coming from. That's the reason why I watch Fox News as well. I'm a student
of the right as well. And the reason for why I do this is because I need to understand how
they galvanize the base, how they organize, what issues they organize around, okay?
This kind of thought-terminating fake patriotism is simply to delude your base,
to make sure that your side never even develops any understanding of how China became this
modern behemoth, this Titan. Okay? It's very stupid. It's so stupid that I'm not even saying
you need to be a Marxist letter. I'm simply saying just read, please, and develop a better
Okay. And ironically enough, this interview was pretty solid. I mean, all the way up until
the end, like there's a lot of, there's, there's fear mongering at the end of the, the conversation,
of course, but, but I will stand by this. Kevin Rudd, unlike any other Western analyst,
which is again, low bar to clear. Kevin Rudd understands China, okay? He disagrees and
he has plenty of critique, some valid, some I think exaggerated. But he absolutely understands
and takes seriously the way that the People's Republic of China formed. He talked extensively
about dialectics, dialectical materialism, historical materialism. He talked about Xi's
rise to power. He talks about Marxist Leninism. He talks about Leninism in general. He talks
about the direction that Xi Jinping took the PRC, took the Communist Party of China, which is,
again, there have been transformations with each formation.
And Xi Jinping has done a lot in the direction of, he completely misrepresented Marx's Leninism
in that podcast. I think in comparison to the average person's understanding, it was
crude, it was reductive, but it was absolutely far better than the average Westerner. I am,
Again, grating Kevin Rudd on a fucking curve, okay? In comparison to the way that most Western
analysts frame China, the very notion that he recognizes that these guys are committed
Marxist Leninists is automatically going to, it's automatically going to place you far above the rest,
Okay. I think ultimately his critique, ultimately his critique of China stems from his liberal
worldview. He was much better on China when he was in government. I think he's pandering
for cloud nowadays. I mean, ultimately, my point wasn't about, you know, he's great on
China or I agree with him. My point was that he at the very least is a person whom I disagree
with who still has done the fucking reading. If you are a western analyst, if you are a
western politician, and you openly say, look, we must not underestimate China and that they
are committed to their understanding, their own interpretation of where China is on their
socialist development. But they are still nevertheless committed to developing socialism.
Okay. You are far above almost every other Western analyst because Western analysts look at this,
and they go, China is capitalist. China doesn't care about anything other than just like, you know,
being other than the CCP controlling the government. And, you know, they harass everyone
endlessly. They fucking destroy and kill political dissidents. There's mass surveillance, all this
stuff, which Kevin Rudd also points to, right?
Ultimately, ultimately, he still understands China far better than the average Westerner does.
I'll give you a more contemporary example of this, even though the Chinese one is obviously still
very relevant because it's our major adversary, right? Our major adversary is the great power,
this behemoth that's like destroying the world from the assessment of Western
analysts. It's Iran. The reason why so many of my counterparts got the Iran situation wrong
is because they were blinded by ideology and they were blinded by Western primacy, okay?
Okay? They had a bias. They could not fathom that a middling middle power could potentially
effectively control the straight-of-formers, use the geographical limitations of the straight-of-formers,
which is only 21 miles wide, to their advantage with a relatively low-cost strategy of just
drone striking commercial vessels. The reason why we got that wrong, or the reason why we got that
right here is because I understand and take seriously the things that foreign adversaries say.
Okay? A year ago, Iran would not have been considered
a possible global superpower. It's not a global superpower still, okay? But it's very clear that
it can project power beyond its immediate borders, or rather, they are capable of projecting power
right next to their borders, which happens to be one of the most important geographical locations
for the global energy trade.
My point is, if you underestimate Iran, you find yourself confused 200 days in
where you think to yourself, how the fuck did this happen?
Why can't America not militarily destroy Iran?
Why can't America, why can't the United States of America
force Iran to heal. It's because we underestimated, we underestimated the
Iranian capabilities, okay? You could fill a book with pro-war pundits who were
embarrassingly wrong about almost every aspect of the Iran war and led Trump and
the US into disaster. Here's a thread of just some of the worst offenders and the
utter tripe, they want you to forget that they were peddling. Max Abrams.
Abrams was really feeling himself after Trump's attacks on Iran last year, which largely avoided
spiraling in a disaster only because of how limited US involvement was. And because of Iran's
restraint at the time, he decided to take this as confirmation that the risks were non-existent,
and that anybody who had ever warned about them was wrong, kicking off a month-long victory lap,
aimed at war skeptics.
In a debate over the war at last year's National Conservatives and Conference, Abrams assailed
most conservative, mostly conservative critics of the war as empirical embarrassments and
mocked their delusions, which included the idea that a war with Iran would become a regime
change war, that it would necessitate US ground troops, that it would be a protracted conflict,
that it would kill Americans, it hurt the US economy, and that it would deal a mortal
blow to Trump's presidency.
That was wrong.
That was laughably wrong.
By April, Abrams was arguing that the United States has enhanced his military capability
through this war, continuing the nonsense that there was some benefit to the United
States of America here.
When everyone that was reasonable, everyone that was conducting sober analysis, including
people who are previously American exceptionalists that may have demanded this kind of dangerous
military escalation, had recognized like the Atlantic Council, Danny Satrinowitz, at the
Atlantic Council, a NATO Atlanticist in every way, shape, and form. Someone who is not aligned with
me at all in the way that they see the world, okay? They were early in recognizing how big of a
disaster this was becoming for American dominance around the world, for American force projection
capabilities, okay? Some recognized it early on. There are those who did not. Part of that was because
they were ideologically invested in advancing the greater Israel project.
Some of them were too ideologically invested in the idea that American military dominance
is absolute, okay? And that a country like Iran would never be able to push back. A country like
Iran would never be able to fight back. This is what happens when you underestimate your enemy.
This is what happens when you underestimate your foreign adversaries. Many of these guys
on the republican side, and maybe even some on the liberal side who are collaborating with them,
will turn around and say, Hassan, you're fucking, you're pro-Iran, you're pro-China,
you love China more than you love America, you love Iran more than America.
I live in the United States of America. I am an American, okay? My point always has been,
there are things that we can learn from these supposed foreign adversaries,
and that we should always give peace of chance. That's my attitude on this, okay?
So, you could turn around and say, oh, you're posturing, you're actually fake, you're phony,
you're IRGC defender, all day every day.
None of that matters, okay?
What matters is, we were right and these guys were wrong.
So, one must understand why we were right and they were wrong.
That's it.
Do you want to keep being wrong over and over again until your forced projection capabilities
diminish even further?
Or do you want to get back to the drawing board and, you know, maybe restrain yourselves?
Former 60-minute correspondent Cecilia Vega said CBS News Executive pressure her to make
several stories appear more politically slanted, calling.
requested it is driven by misinformation and politics. Vega was asked to describe Iran
as being outgunned by the United States and Israel, which she called an administration
talking point.
This doesn't actually serve anybody. When you delude the base, when you lie to the base,
you only basically win some time for yourself, for your movement. It's unbelievably selfish,
okay? But at the end of the day, the truth prevails, right? That's how we arrived. That's
That's how we arrived at the situation this past weekend, where Donald Trump was signaling
further military action in the Strait of Hormuz, only to then restrain himself by force.
And when asked why, Donald Trump did not do the big military conquest over Pickax Mountain.
That's even deeper than the previous facilities that we had bombed into oblivion.
He turned around and said, we're running out of interceptor missiles.
The U.S. government is now allowing some of the Iranian missiles to go through, especially
if they calculate that the Iranian ballistic munitions are not supposed to hit direct targets.
They're allowing those missiles to go through and strike.
Some of those missiles have killed American active duty service members at this point,
17 of them to be exact.
I believe it's 17.
The real number is probably far higher.
The one that we know, the number that we know right now is I think either 16 or 17 or 18.
The calculations are changing.
Why is the American government now deciding to chart a different path forward?
Well, it's because the truth always prevails.
nothing you can do if at the end of the day, if at the end of the day, Iranian missiles
are striking US military bases and killing American active duty service members.
There's not too much you can do about, you know, changing the dynamic of that by yapping.
You can't out-propagandize US soldiers dying.
Okay?
And why did I talk about all this?
Because what's important is always to understand.
It's always important, what's always important, even if you want to have a tactical advantage
over your foreign adversaries, even if you disagree with me vehemently on this issue,
okay, you still need to read, you still need to study, you still need to internalize and
identify how other people think.
That's why I said the Kevin Rudd conversation was very good in my opinion, because he does.
Kevin Rudd and I disagree on China or China's place around the world.
I don't think it's as scary as, you know,
Rudd presents it,
obviously he's the former prime minister of Australia.
Of course he has this kind of attitude,
but at the end of the day,
he has at the very least studied contemporary
and ancient Chinese history
and has a direct and personal involvement
with the development of the People's Republic of China.
And he understands why China became this behemoth
that it is.
The first is I've read enough of Xi Jinping to conclude that he is a convinced Marxist
dialectician.
What do I mean by that?
Because it's not a term that be bendy about it's Starbucks much here in New York.
But it's important we understand how the other person thinks, but more importantly, their
methodology, their epistemology, the way in which they reach conclusions about that.
This is very important, I agree.
Real and that which is not, that which is true and that which is false.
But when a dialectician, which sounds like a horrible word, comes from Hegel, the German
philosopher, adopted by Marx and Engels.
It is essentially a view of history
that there are two fundamental sets of forces
changing historical developments over time.
One's called dialectical materialism,
and the second is called historical materialism.
So what the hell is that?
Dialectical materialism is a worldview by Marxists,
which says that change in society,
the economy, and politics occurs
between this constant push
between progressive forces and reactionary forces,
which they ultimately describe as the forces
of the working class versus the capitalist class,
and ultimately, one pushes hard against the other,
overturns the other and creates a new synthesis, which ultimately is a communist state.
So that's dialectical materialism.
And the Chinese Communist Party says that the inevitable historical engine that pushes
through the capitalist state of communism.
That's true.
And through the agency of what they call class struggle or just struggle.
By the way, one of the things that Xi Jinping has rehabilitated is a term in China's political
discourse today is struggle, struggle, struggle, struggle.
A term which largely disappeared during the Dengjiang and Hu period.
So bear with me for a moment.
This is Terjeet's staff.
I apologize to your listeners.
This is a safe space for turgidity.
This is seriously turgid, and I'd better read this stuff, and I wouldn't recommend it to any of you unless you're suffering from deep insomnia.
I can give you the relevant chapters of my book, which will send you off to sleep.
But historical materialism is the parallel discipline, which asks Marxist historians this question,
where are we in this current historical moment in the evolution of this inexorable struggle between progressive and reactionary forces,
reactionary forces between working class and capitalist class, between working class and
nation states and capitalist nation states in producing this final resolution through
struggle of an evolution towards a socialist and communist society. And where they say
through historical materialism, China has reached, is that they are now moving out of
what they call the primitive stage or the primary stage of socialism into something
higher than that. And that the role of the Chinese Communist Party under Xi's leadership
is to further accelerate that.
This is, again, this is reductive, but ultimately, it is far above and beyond the average Western
analyst.
One must ask a question why this kind of platform is being given to this kind of thought in
this very moment by even the likes of Ezra Klein.
The reason why this is happening, the reason why this is happening is because it's undeniable.
It's undeniable that China has a greater presence on the global stage.
It's undeniable that their growth has given them tremendous economic leverage over the
Western world, over the entire world, certainly over the United States of America.
At some point, they even bring up the fact that China defeated Donald Trump and his tariffs
agenda.
Out of every Western analyst you listen to, I was probably one of the very few people
that told you exactly what was going to happen with Liberation Day tariffs, at least with
our relationship with China.
There's a reason why I, a person that they call a radical, a person that they call silly
and stupid got that right. It's not because I have unbelievable foresight, it's because
I'm intellectually curious and also honest, okay? That's it. If you were in here when
Liberation Day was happening, what did I tell you? I told you that Liberation Day and all
these mass tariffs that Donald Trump is trying to position as he forcibly tries to decouple
the rest of the world from the grips of Chinese manufacturing, this design that we place together,
this design that we created for the international markets, which we no longer want, so we're
just basically trying to wipe the board clean because of our now over-reliance on Chinese
manufacturing, was not going to work.
It was not going to work in the short term.
It was not going to work in the long term.
And the reason for that is because China has a monopoly on rare earth and the procurement
of refinement of rare earth minerals, critical minerals that are necessary for national defense
and virtually everything else.
If you knew that, as I did, you would recognize that that is a massive point of leverage that
China had over the United States of America, okay?
So a lot of these people that still turn around and say,
oh, Hasan, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
Why were you wrong then?
Why was I a stupid guy?
Why was I right and you were wrong?
How did that happen?
Same thing goes for Chinese ghost cities.
If you are so ideologically blinded by the notion
that housing is simply a speculative asset
that no one could possibly build housing to shelter folks. No one could possibly build and build and
build housing for any purpose other than economic activity to show the Western world,
than to improve their GDP. If you cannot comprehend that China was simply building housing with a
long-term shelter attitude in mind, then yes, you would read those articles about the ghost cities
of China and you would laugh and you would think to yourself, oh, look at these silly
guys. They're just trying to build housing to make it look like they have tremendous
economic activity taking place in the countryside and not realize that there was rapid urbanization
that was taking place. There was rapid development taking place. This is what I mean when I say,
do not underestimate your opponent. If you, if you consider China to be an opponent, you
should still try to understand where they're coming from.
Okay, where have you been? I've been looking for videos on if
you were banned or something. I chat GPT. I grok that they
said you were planning stuff and burnout. Wait, what? You chat
GPT'd why I was gone.
That's crazy.
Anyway, let's get back to the the Sean Hannity conversation now actually died under now.
Many due to starvation.
Many more died in political prison camps or at the barrel of a gun lined up against the
wall.
Now, this is what what Democratic radical socialist want to bring to America.
Now, John Stuart, he's all smiles, kicks and giggles, laughing it up with New York City's
Communist Mayor.
Take a look.
You know, being a Muslim Democratic Socialist, I thought it would be pretty straightforward.
You just saw it.
What if I label myself something that scares people the most?
I'm a Muslim Democratic Socialist.
If she's scared, she's scared of us.
And I'd like to run your public transportation system.
Oh, okay.
happen to the free buses anyway. And now according to John Stewart there's no
need to panic over the rise of socialism. It's just a populist economic
movement. Apparently John Stewart is thinking that the left doesn't actually
support the radical policies stated in the DSA's own charter. Take a look. We're
in that same place now where all these new ideas suddenly the Democrats all
these Democratic socialists they're crazy. You're like well but that generally
their crazy ideas aren't where the energy is. The energy isn't around like, we shouldn't
have prisons or borders. The energy is around a belief that their economic populism. And
when you call it socialism, I think it's a misnomer, like in the same way that if you
call social security socialism, that's kind of a misnomer. It's about strengthening a
safety net for a country that has suffered too long overvaluing capital and money and
undervaluing labor and work. Now the energy is about open borders, deep fund dismantle,
no bail laws, reimagine the police. He's such a live. I mean, yes, they are Americans are
self identifying liberals. Okay. For the most part, this is something that we have to understand.
Okay. What do I always say in order to build a mass movement, which is what socialism is,
you have to speak to the masses, you have to speak to the struggles of the masses, you
have to speak the language of the masses, and you have to go to where the masses are.
Okay?
That's it.
And after almost a century of liberal monoculture, liberal capitalist dominance, of course, a
lot of people are self-identifying liberals.
And yes, someone like John Stuart is very much a social democrat, a liberal who still
finds the moniker, the identifier of socialism to be far too radical or dangerous or whatever.
So these are baby steps that they need to take, reformist baby steps that I think a
lot of orthodox Marxists consider to be dangerous because this is the, from their perspective,
is like the Bernstein revisionism that initially destroyed the international left, the Socialists
or the Communist movements all around Western Europe. What they fail to recognize is that
the situation has changed. Industry has advanced the same productive forces. The productive
force in the West do not look the same any longer. Okay, so our tactics have to change
as well, especially in a country like the United States of America, where we have to
penetrate collective consciousness, and we have to rip apart the previous setbacks born
out of a century of red scare propaganda born out of a necessity for capital to dominate
the masses to make the masses forget that they are a part of the working class.
This is the first step.
It's not the last step.
If it stops here, then that's a problem, okay?
We do not want simple, modest reforms, okay?
We want to change the entire system, but you have to understand it's not bad enough for
people to come to terms with their class position. Contradictions worsen, okay? Contradictions
are as bad as they have ever been in the last 50 to 60 years. It's nowhere, but it's not
as bad as it was in the 20s, right? Technological advancements, the sedentary element of social
media and all of the treats that we can consume that are at our disposal, these are things
that make people feel as though they are their lives of materially improved.
And in some respects, they have, right? If you were to look back at the 60s, for example,
the luxury items that we have, the average worker and the luxury items that they are capable of
of receiving that they're capable of holding onto are the exact opposite. Okay? Now we look at
housing as a luxury, but at the same time, we can fly around the world, right? You can get a little
bit of disposable income if you're lucky enough, if you've saved enough to go and fly anywhere
around the world. You can have a massive TV. You can have a refrigerator in your house that's much
nicer than the refrigerators that used to exist. If you look at the actual cost of a television
in like the 70s and 80s, it was far higher than the average cost of a TV now.
But at the same time, if you look at the price of housing, whether it be rent or whether it be
housing that you can purchase, it was endlessly affordable in comparison to now. Take it one
that further, go all the way back to, I don't know, the time when Kings existed. The average
worker is now capable of experiencing things that were only readily available to Lords,
gods, kings, demigods, okay? That is important to identify. It's all topsy-turvy. It's flipped
on its head. We can no longer afford housing, but we can afford all of these treats that
genuinely improve our lives for sure. The price of commodities have gone down, specifically,
things that would have been considered luxury items, luxury goods have become endlessly affordable,
but things that are necessary for survival, things that are necessary for upward social mobility,
healthcare, housing, and college education, those are the three things that have become
endlessly unaffordable in the process. And depending on your perspective, those things
are either inelastic goods or inelastic services that have inelastic demand
or are necessary for upward social mobility.
But as long as the price of groceries remains relatively cheap, which by the way, it's not,
it's getting less and less affordable as time goes on.
But as long as those commodities are relatively accessible, relatively affordable,
the material conditions will not deteriorate to such a degree that people are living through
the roaring 20s again.
The energy on all of those topics.
They do support these extreme goals. They do hate America as we know it.
They do want to upend our constitution.
They do want to replace capitalism with socialism, communism.
And so far, 35 DSA back candidates now have won primaries all across the country ahead
of a very important midterm come November. And none of these candidates have made a move
to the center for the primary. In fact, they're very honest about wanting to upend the American
system. When someone tells you who they are and what they plan to do, my advice is you
may want to believe them, or maybe you could just listen to President Trump. Take a listen.
Communism is a loser. The concept, the policy, it's a loser, and it always has been and it
always will be. And you know, they want to give everyone everything away. You want free
rent, you want free house, you want what they don't say is that a year from now, there'll
be absolute squalor, turmoil, and death. And that's the way it's happened all the way.
It goes back thousands of years by different names. But that's the way it happens all
the time. It's squalor, it's poverty, it's death, it's destruction. And that's why we
We declare again today that the United States of America will never be a communist country.
America is back, it's stronger than ever before, and I'm telling you, it's only going one way,
it's going up.
As long as we keep our current thinking, our current system, it's going up.
If you go the other way, nothing ever succeeds.
I made the statement once, with communism, everything turns to shit.
Okay.
So, we're all those courageous Democrats who care about the Constitution, the rule of law,
the American way of life.
They seem to be few and far between.
Alright, thanks for watching.
Check out my new podcast hanging out with me, Sean Hatt.
Yeah, I'm sorry, but we have seen the way that the Republicans operate.
We have seen the way that the Republicans operate for the last decade, especially post
Donald Trump.
have always behaved this way. Donald Trump is just a logical conclusion of reactionary
propaganda, reactionary politics in general. But the idea that like Democrats need to join
hands with the Republicans to fight against their common enemy communism is insane. Okay.
Democrat that leans into this shit has to be a cynical actor. They have to be. Because
it's very clear that these people have no respect for the Constitution. They have no
respect for improving people's lives. They have no interest in improving people's lives.
They are genuinely using the last vestiges of this once powerful country to steal as
much of the productive resources, the productive output, and your money as they possibly can
to enrich themselves, the pedophilic Epstein class, and their close associates and their fail
sons. Okay? It's clear. It's clear that there is a plunder taking place right now. And it's clear
for most people in the working class, it's even clear for some in the Republican side.
They still associate themselves with Trump and Trumpism because they've deployed too much.
They've invested too much into this movement. So it's tough for them to see that this movement
has failed them. But if there are liberals out there who think that this is going to be a
beneficial allegiance and not one that ends up harming them in the long run. They're delusional,
okay? Stop collaborating with fascists. They do not have your best interest at heart. They were
calling you a pedophilic communist vampire last week. What makes you think things have changed now?
It's unbelievable to me to President Biden. Michael, lay it out there for us. Like this guy is a
classic example of this, right? Establishment Democrats that are running to, uh, to, to cooperate
with fascists in order to, to attack their left flank is blue mega. Well, I have no idea. I mean,
The article said in the New York Times that it was sort of anything for what anybody wants it to be.
This is the first I've heard of it actually since I read the New York Times piece.
It's catchy.
What's that?
It's catchy.
Clever, plain words.
I give them credit.
But look, if being blue maga means you want to avoid losers as candidates like Graham Plattner
or anybody who had a Nazi tattoo or nominating Democrats
with toxic positions like abolish ICE
or defund the police or banning private health care
insurance, then sure, fine.
Call me Blue MAGA, I guess.
Those are not winners.
Those are not winning issues or winning positions.
All right, here's what Hassan Piker told The New York Times.
He said, Blue MAGA is about cult-like loyalty
to the Democratic Party.
but unlike MAGA, it isn't centered around one person.
It's centered around the image of a party
that consultants and lobbyists have carefully curated.
This is obvious.
Cooked.
Excellent, excellent take from that guy.
I don't know who that guy is.
He is a beard, different guy than me,
but kind of agree, kind of help.
I hear that and I think to myself, wow, that guy is going places. That guy is correct.
Obviously becoming the new ding on the party establishment folks like Nancy Pelosi who have
spent their careers raising, I don't know, hundreds of millions of dollars for candidates.
Why are you, why is Fox News defending Nancy Pelosi's honor? Why is Fox News defending
Nancy Pelosi's honor. When have they done that? Why are they doing that?
Yeah, look, I understand a frustration with sort of the group think mentality
sort of at the top and I spoke out in the last cycle when I was you know kind
of sending some warning signals about President Biden's challenges and his vulnerabilities.
And just even acknowledging that problems existed within the polling.
And I lost friends.
I was blacklisted from other networks.
I was called a traitor or a bedwetter.
I was, I was called a lot worse than a.
Yeah.
That's why, that's why now I can only go on Fox News to complain.
But I'm also not going to take advice from somebody who has no idea what he's talking about.
I mean, this guy makes a living being a provocateur saying provocative offensive things.
I'm glad he has a political science degree from Rutgers, but he knows nothing about government, politics, public policy, or anything.
Well, we appreciate you here having you enjoy talking to you on the program.
program. I want to ask you about this while we have you in New York magazine reports like
it or not. Is he saying that you were in support of Biden? I mean, I was. I wasn't in support
of Biden reluctantly. I in 2019, if you go back far enough, you'll see in 2019, well,
the primaries were just beginning. I said, if we elect Joe Biden, Joe Biden is going to
to set back any kind of progressive movement in this country.
He's too old, and everyone can see that he's too old, and he is going to be a one-term
president.
It is a major mistake.
But once, past the point of Super Tuesday, when it was very clear that Joe Biden was
going to be the candidate, unfortunately, when the establishment Democrats consolidated
their support behind him, shouts out the Barack Obama for that.
It was obvious that he was the, he was going to be the winner. Unfortunately,
I reluctantly lent my support to Joe Biden. I did.
I told my audience to plug their nose and vote for him. Okay.
Joe Biden won and change didn't come.
And people were even more frustrated.
saw negative real wage growth for a year and a half under the Biden administration. That was hugely
frustrating. And the Biden administration was absolutely utterly incapable of defending against
the barrage of reactionary attacks, saying that Joe Biden was opening up the floodgates of migration
from the third world, all this stuff. One of the few good things that Biden did was pull out of
Afghanistan. Everyone endlessly critiqued him for it. His reputation never recovered. There was a
Uniparty approach, different time, and then Biden's crowning achievement for his devastating
term, sorry, was the complete advancement of Israel's genocidal project and genocidal
ambitions over Gaza.
And he will forever be remembered as the guy, as genocide Joe.
Yeah, this is back in 2020, I said one truly wild thing that we haven't really talked about
is Biden's stated interest in being a single term president.
Like, we're just gonna throw away our incumbent advantage because Joe's gonna be a vegetable
by the end of his presidency, truly incredible stuff. And at the time, the same centrist
forces were yelling at me and saying, you're wrong. You're wrong. Because that was a false
rumor. Turns out, it actually caused Democrats to lose a tremendous amount of credibility
amongst the base because they could see, they could see personally that Joe Biden's mental
faculties had deteriorated. Okay. And they lost a lot of trust.
Harris is the frontrunner this for the next presidential election cycle quote
she's been listening to the American people and really trying to figure out
what's impacting them and how she can be of service to them right now we need
leaders that can take us in a different direction and bring us back together as
a party this from a longtime Democratic strategist who ran the DNC that
nominated Harris in twenty twenty four
well she's been
uh... public servant for thirty seven years i don't know why she's still
listening
she's a stop listening and start leading
nobody wants to keep people want to hear what she has to say
and the problem is
people want that new car smell as brock obama one said
they're not going to give common harris a third at that
very there is no appetite for another common harris candidacy
and i hope that her consultants
Consultants are only as good and they're only as useful to you if they tell you the truth. Oh my god
I can't I don't want to hear it even hear this what there's more will came former DSA member reveals what the organization is really like. Oh
My god, they got infiltrators. It's awesome
So most of the commentary is just like DSA is ruining the party DSA is ruining the party
His son is ruining the party real ever present danger
uh, to, to, I mean, now that we got infiltrators, former, uh, former DSA, uh, members coming
out and being like, this is why I left the party.
They, they got too radical after October seven, all this shit.
Just know that there is a lot of motion in this movement.
There's that one like, uh, the thumbnail is just you next to Malia.
I see that.
Yeah, why I left the left, why I left the DSA, DSA is bad.
Growing pains everybody.
It was inevitable that we would get our moment in the spotlight and of course the lights
are going to get too hot and I hope people can learn from my valuable experience in this
field.
uh... i've had the spotlight trained on me as a tank
or uh... a decade almost as
as someone who has been propped up as the singular
uh... vestige singular
arbiter of all things left on the internet
now mainstream outlets are doing the same to the essay and uh... myself as
well
it's not necessarily a bad thing
It's not a bad thing. This is a good thing. We just have to be more disciplined than ever before.
We have to do away with sectarian infighting. Or even if we have constructive critique for one
another and self critique as well, we have to still remember what this movement represents.
Yeah
Deeds on DNC's latest challenges DNC used to own building
DnC uses own building as collateral for its biggest ever off-year loan in 2025 her previously unreported docs Ken Martin was a subject of an
HR inquiry after throwing a phone near an aid yet
No wonder the DSA is making such in rows right now. There isn't a Democratic Party to speak of there isn't
The DNC is has fallen asleep with the wheel that this presents an opportunity for us
It's a question we've been asking all week. What does a future under democratic socialism
look like? Well, my next guest spent years as a member of the DSA until 2022. And he says
the direction they're going in is, quote, utopian. Joining me now is a former DSA member,
Jake Altman. Jake, that's an interesting. So Jake Altman is Jake Altman been dropping
your name three months ago. Yeah, no, his whole, uh, his, what the fuck else I had allies
supports his blood defense pedophiles. What the fuck. Amir Makhled lost the key union
endorsement. I don't think he's talking about me. I think he's talking about Amir Makhled,
but even that it's bullshit as well. But regardless, uh, Jake Altman's entire point is, uh, I'm
a former DSA guy and I hate the DSA. They're too radical. Okay.
because I would imagine that's considered a compliment in DSA circles, a utopian vision
of the future.
Yeah, I think they probably think that, but the reality is very, very scary.
At this point, a majority of the governing board is controlled by people who are explicitly
communists.
So yeah, in...
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait, hold on.
Are you telling me that a socialist organization that has the word socialist in its name has
socialist in its leadership structure?
Hold on guys.
Guys what the fuck is going on?
I'm confused.
I'm scared.
I've been a lifelong Democratic Socialist of America member,
and this is causing me great panic and great distress.
A socialist organization with socialists?
What the hell is going on?
I think this isn't a bad thing.
I think this is a good thing.
This is an important way for even more radical elements
elements of the Democratic Socialist of America to get more mainstream recognition.
They will try to do everything in their power to say, this is radical, these guys are radical.
This is an important moment for the DSA left and the DSA right to unite, okay?
It's very important.
If DSA right turns around and uses this as an opportunity, uses this kind of like sectarian
in fighting as an opportunity to gain even more power within the organization, they're
silly, and they're dumb, and they should not do this. Okay, this is how you destroy a large,
um, a larger big tent socialist movement. I don't think it'll happen regardless because
even the the furthest right elements within the democratic socialists of America,
obviously, were very critical of that one person who just came out of nowhere
and was like that one person on Twitter who was like, I joined DSA finally.
And then a week later was like, I'm leaving DSA because the DSA needs to purge all of its tankies.
I was like, who the fuck is this guy? The fuck? The fuck do you mean?
The fuck are you talking about?
You can't just join an organization and immediately be like, we have to clean house.
What?
The hell are you talking about?
I guess the trash cleaned itself out the fuck.
Our vision, that would be pretty dystopian.
Why does that come as a surprise to you, Jake?
I mean, if you remember the DSA, did you see some midway point between democratic socialism
and-
Yeah, and the New York Times immediately put the beat on DSA as well.
They found the person and interviewed them.
Yeah, I saw this.
The fact that Lefty Winter joined DSA two seconds ago and is already getting interviewed
by the New York Times for an anti-DSA hit piece is everything we needed to know.
That's a plan.
Yeah.
Can't believe I'm doing an interview with a former AOC legislative aide with the New
York Times who left DSA because of how they treated her.
My New York Times call just ended in it, and it went very well.
The three of us talked for over an hour, talked about what DSA could be doing instead, why
we think DSA should split.
AOC for President Electoral Politics are stories in the 2024 DNC speech about AOC and the online
response.
talked about the ultra left really happy how it went. Well, I don't know when the article
will be out since he's trying to contact DSC folks and also other DSC folks who are on our
side. We'll see plus there's DSC convention coming up that this reporter will be attending.
It'll be interesting.
Let me tell you something, okay?
She's not a plant, she's just goofy.
I mean, plant or not, this is record behavior, okay?
This is what it is.
The moment that you collaborate with a mainstream organ
of propaganda and their hit piece
against the democratic socialists of America
is a moment where you become an op.
You move on from useful idiot to opposition.
That's just how it works.
I've given plenty of interviews to the New York Times.
I've interviews coming out with the Wall Street Journal, numerous other organizations, numerous other mainstream platforms,
and you will never see me fucking shit on the Democratic Socialists of America.
It's totally ridiculous.
This is opposition, people using what kind of, like people using the fractional experiences
that they have within the democratic socials of America or the longstanding experiences
they've had.
Like is this guy Altman, he was a part of the USA for a much longer time than this other
person, right?
He just didn't like the direction that the DSA was going, which is become successful.
Okay, become a real powerhouse within American politics.
He didn't like that. He didn't like the organization was growing and becoming actually a successful organization.
So he left and now he tries to make a living off of shitting on left mobilization in this country.
Communism that you hope that they would land on?
When I joined 10 years ago, or more than 10 years ago at this point, when I joined it was a cozy, they were advocating for Scandinavian social democracy, right?
And then over a 10-year period, we saw the organization just-
Oh yeah, I was a social Democrat, and I didn't like that Democratic socialists were actually Democratic socialists. Okay, got it.
So much of the disagreements amongst the American left also revolve around American foreign policy.
Anti-imperialism is unfortunately one of the biggest dividing lines within left movements.
That's one of the biggest issues. And that extends to all matter of American exceptionalist thought, whether it be, what do we do about immigration?
these dirty third world masses are coming in to ruin the country. That is an attitude that the
right has, and that is a reactionary sentiment born out of white supremacist thought that maybe even
some people within the ranks of socialists in the country also share some kind of mutual resentment
towards the masses that are coming from undeveloped countries, right? And the same goes for obviously
principled, anti-imperialist thought. Many people do not want to see a world where America
is not the hegemonic superpower. Many people do not want to understand what that requires.
Okay? Obviously, while I on the one hand talk about building a big tent movement or a mass
movement, on the other hand, I also understand that you have to have some fucking principles.
principles. You have to have some goddamn principles. We must always say the truth.
We must always seek truth from facts, and we must always say the truth. You do not have
to compromise on your values. You can obviously entertain a more appropriate message, especially
given the medium that you're occupying. But ultimately, you don't cast aside your values.
You don't cast aside your moral compass.
Become more and more extreme and move from that cozy Scandinavian social
democracy to really something quite frightening, uh, to, you know,
they're advocating for communism and their latest platform they've released.
Yeah.
You know, I'm old enough to remember that as well.
Jake, I remember when people openly talked about Scandinavian countries as the
model, you don't hear that anymore.
You, you hear, um, yeah, about open embrace of communism and, and honestly,
this weird as well embrace of Islamism. What?
Communal Islamism, the open embrace of communism and Islamism is fucking awesome. Okay.
Yeah. I mean, I think some people in DSA are out with the whitewash brush right now, trying
to tell people trying to sell this line that it's just scant, it's cozy Scandinavian social
democracy, but the reality is very, very different. And yes, it's true. They have this alliance
with extremism, right? They are extreme and they have an alliance with very, very extreme
pro-terror voices. And it's, frankly, it's quite frightening.
So we've reported on that. What's been called the Red-Green Alliance, which is definitely
a short-term arrangement between Islamic fascism and socialism. So you wrote, by the way,
in the Free Press, I witnessed a rise in extremism ranging from the...
Islamic fascism and socialism? Dog, you are literally a crystal fascist. You are a Christian
fascist network. The movement is Christian fascism. That is the real movement. There
is no Islamic fascism growing in this country. I don't even know what they mean when they
say Islam of fascism. They just assume that like Zoran Mamdani or even some of like myself
are actually trying to implement some sort of like Salafist regime in this country with
Sharia as the law of the land, you know, it's fucking racist as Islamophobic tropes.
Even if you collaborate with Leninist groups to growing animosity towards the United States
in the West, my final departure was prompted by the DSA statement that attributed Russia's
aggression against Ukraine to American imperialist expansionism.
Jay, would you say that this change in the DSA, and we've had other people report on
this, and it's moved towards both communism and the embrace of perhaps some radical Islam
as well, belies just an underlying hatred of the West in America?
It absolutely does.
I think these people have never met an enemy of America.
They weren't willing to fall down apologizing for.
And we've just seen that again and again.
We've seen that with Hamas.
We've seen that with Russia.
You know, we see it with Maduro.
We see it in Cuba.
All of these authoritarian regimes, they are ready to apologize for them again and again
and again.
But it's America that they view as fundamentally evil.
And it's just wrong.
Jake, do you look back on your time with the DSA now and think it got hijacked?
Or do you now look at it and say, really, there was no ideological break once you started
moving towards socialism?
And it was inevitably going to run into the hands of extremists.
By the way, Jake, just like it has in most countries around the world.
Yeah, I mean, I think we do see that either in situations like this, you either move in
in pragmatic direction towards pro-capitalist, social safety net, Scandinavian social democracy,
which has a high degree of economic freedom.
Or you move in this incredibly authoritarian way, right where you get secret police, people
being rounded up and brutalized, and I'm afraid that that's what we're seeing in DSA right
now.
In America.
Yeah.
Well, Jake Alvin, thank you for talking about it and thank you about sharing that with us
here today.
Be sure to like and subscribe for all the Fox News latest on YouTube and catch full shows
streaming now on Fox one. Do you understand why that? Do you understand why that allegiance is
ridiculous? By the way, why that commentary is ridiculous? They're talking about,
they're talking about how the DSA wants to build like secret police, right?
And they're gonna, they're gonna be leninous. They're gonna do secret police.
We already have secret police right now. And Fox News covers it on a daily basis and talks about
how wonderful that secret police actually is. That's the issue. We already have it. We just
have a fascist secret police. It's called ICE. Okay? That's what they're doing. We already have
master surveillance. You talk about China. You talk about Chinese master surveillance. We already
have it. Flock cameras. Okay? The problem is the West is taking some of the worst elements of
Chinese governance and none of the good stuff. Okay, that's the issue.
That's the problem. They choose to define China by some of the more repressive elements
of Chinese governance, and they say that they oppose that while simultaneously they do it here,
just under a fascist moniker. Do you understand? And it's also, it's unbelievably silly to say,
Oh, the DSA wants the both abolish police and also simultaneously have secret police. Which is it?
Are they deeply unserious? Do they want to abolish? Do they or are they very scary and authoritarian?
Are they are they anarchistic or are they authoritarian? Which is it?
Very stupid
None of it makes sense. This is a train wreck for the Democratic Party Victor Davis Hansen
complaining about it as well. I mean, Sean Hannity, promoting James Carville, socialist
nightmare, more and more. Every, every damn night they're talking about DSA's scary,
Hassanist's scary, AOC's scary. Let's look at one of the establishment, let's look at
a established Democrat railing against their, their socialist counterparts. It's the same
Fucking nightly show day in day out. We just have to keep pushing through this and and like I said
We have to become undeniable
Just do not back down. Do not actually concede on your opposition's framing on this issue. Do not
Okay, support your comrades support your friends
Support those who are ideologically closest to you whether they are to your left or to your right
fight. Okay. Do not concede. We have to be unbroken. We have to be unbowed, and we will
become undeniable of his life obsessively hating all things president trump washed up democratic
going back to what you were saying about Biden. You called it. I'm 2020. I criticize the Barack
Obama threat as entire presidency and I criticize Hillary Clinton as well. I am not a hypocrite.
We're going to, we're going to, what the fuck?
This just bricked my PC.
This TikTok bricked my PC, dude.
What the hell is going on?
Uh-oh.
You're a phony in your pocket.
Okay.
Here it is.
Larry Elder.
Uh, this is from my debate with Larry Elder here.
This is all the way back in like, this is, this debate is from, I think it's from like
20, from like 2019, 2018.
I'm a Barack Obama threat as entire presidency and I criticize Hillary Clinton as well.
I am not a hypocrite.
You are afraid.
We're going to talk about another issue now, which is the death of your bacteria, which
is, which is, which is, you want the government to control medicine?
Let's talk about another issue, which is-
That's insane.
Which is the issue of the Democratic primary now.
This week we found out who are the 20 candidates that are going to be making it up onto the
debate stage.
This is a list of all 20 of them.
By the way, all of them that have come on the issue is are on the debate stage.
So, just candidates, good idea to come on the show.
Sadly, for the candidates that are Goose eggs, Steve Bullock, Mike Gravel, Wayne Nessum,
and Seth Moulton, none of them met the criteria.
I know many of our viewers are crying over that.
They will be missed.
What for fellas an entertaining guy?
Where do you guys see the state of the race?
I think you both might agree on something.
Neither of you like Joe Biden.
Well, I'm not a fan of any of them.
Me either, except for Bernie.
Do you like Elizabeth Warren?
Maybe.
I'll vote for Elizabeth Warren, but it's definitely the second best option.
So if Joe Biden got the nomination and is running against President Trump, you would not vote
for him?
I don't know.
I've honestly considered moving up into the mountains and living an anarcho-primitivist
lifestyle if Joe Biden becomes the Democratic nominee.
I think Trump has a chance of defeating Joe Biden.
But worse than that, even if Joe Biden wins, I think we go back to business as usual politics
here in America.
And next time around, it's not going to be Donald Trump.
actually going to be an ideologically minded fascist, not a proto-fascist who kind of succeeded
somehow. And you have to remember this is predating COVID by the way.
Yeah, this is before COVID. Obviously the calculation shifted after COVID, but so it's not,
Yeah, it's pre-COVID. But the point I made remains, and I was right. I just thought it
wouldn't be Donald Trump, but Donald Trump came back far worse than ever before.
So Joe Biden got the nomination and is running against President Trump. You would not vote for him?
I don't know. I've honestly considered moving up into the mountains and living an
anarcho-primitivist lifestyle of Joe Biden becomes the Democratic nominee.
I think Trump has a chance of defeating Joe Biden, but worse than that, even if Joe Biden
wins, I think we go back to business as usual politics here in America.
And next time around, it's not going to be Donald Trump.
It's actually going to be an ideologically minded fascist, not a proto-fascist who kind
of succeeded somehow and fooled Americans for long enough to get into a position of power.
Yeah, people yelled at me at the time because I said I would become an anarcho-permitivist,
which is obviously a fucking joke.
Or, but an actual terrifying leader.
Oh my goodness.
There was just a poll and Gallup, and they looked at Donald Trump ideologically.
17% believed that he was too conservative.
18% thought George W. Bush was too conservative.
38% think that Donald Trump's views are just right.
36% thought George W's views were just right.
39% thought both of them were too conservative.
So, the people perceive Donald Trump and George W. Bush to be almost mirror images ideologically.
But I hear all this stuff about Donald Trump as changed Republican Party, turned into a party of cult.
It's not true. People perceive them to be ideologically identical.
I agree with you on that. I 100% agree with you. I think Donald, and we talked about this outside.
Donald Trump is a perfectly sound Republican, but also George W. Bush was a war criminal.
So, I don't like George W. Bush either.
Alright, let's take a break.
Let's take a break, let's let everybody cool down a little bit.
Up next, we're going to talk about another issue that brings people together.
The issue of homelessness here in California.
Yeah, it's cooking even back then, baby.
What is your face going to grow back? I miss it already. Just get used to it. Okay. You
will get used to it eventually. If you close your eyes and listen to that guy, Glace Trump,
and that sounds like Rubio. Denying Bush being a war criminal is insane. You mean saying
Bush is a war criminal is insane, right? Because that's what that's what he was doing. Because
I said George W. Bush and Donald Trump are aligned in many respects. And that's a bad
thing because George Bush was bad and he was a war criminal. Um, I think you were wrong about
the Trump cult part. But what do you mean? Strategist my old pal James Carville has now
discovered a much more pressing matter in his own front yard. Take a look. These people are
paternalistic and it's a bunch of overeducated little white turds who think they know more than
other people know. He's literally talking about himself here. It's so funny. This is what like
establishment, this is what establishing Democrats are. Overly educated paternalistic white turds
for the most part, that masquerade as though they're like, they, they masquerade. Yeah.
This is the bed that James Carvel sleeps in with a Dick Cheney operative, by the way,
his wife, literally sleeping with the opposition. That's number one. Number two, number two,
I don't know why he's like, you know, just doing these from a increasingly more ridiculous
this outlet. Looks like he's in a casket already. Who's the skeleton is James Carville?
Bill Clinton advisor. Campaign manager. And they know what's wrong and they're gonna go
and then you got, they're talking about indicting that Nyahu and that the problem is you have
a candidate or DSA candidate in New York saying we should be against interracial dating.
Let me tell you something, these people and these are to all my black friends and friends,
people like me, they think they know more than you do.
They think their history is more glorious than yours.
They think that Lenin was a more glorious human being in Martin Luther King or Frederick
Douglas.
That's what they really think.
You gotta, where's this James Ben by the way?
What do you mean where's this James Ben?
He's always been this fucking right wing asshole.
What the hell are we talking about?
Um, so with MLK, he was a DSA, he was a democratic socialist, so he definitely was like somewhat
anti-communist even though he was a pro-Hochimin.
Okay.
Uh, as far as Frederick Douglass goes, I wonder...
I'm
Frederick Douglass
I wonder what Frederick Douglass is I don't know what his opinion was on
On on you know the the growing
Because like the Republican Party in its formation and its inception was created to abolish
chattel slavery in the south and wage slavery in the north.
So the Republican Party in its formation was like far more radical than it's, you know,
contemporary example. Obviously, they fought to abolish slavery and won. But the Republican
Party in its initial formation was certainly not what the Republican Party has become now.
And this is something that people often forget.
So, or they just, they kind of don't even think about this at all and of course Mark's,
Carl Marx is a very fond of Abraham Lincoln.
What is this?
Well, well, well, United States of Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says, Marco Rubio promised him that he will
destroy the international criminal core for him. Oh yeah, we're going to talk about that
too. Oh yeah, I had this link ready to go as well.
Frederick Douglass and Karl Marx on the Paris commune in the labor question in the United
States. I mean, I don't really care about James Carville shitting on the left again.
Who gives a fuck? Good evening. Hope you're having a good day. This guy fucking John Federman.
Like the question, the question you got to ask yourself, the question you got to ask
you're like liberal, self identifying liberal family members, your neighbors, your friends,
is this who do you feel closer to? Zoram Omdani, AOC, Democratic Socialists of America, or
the likes of John Federman. Okay, it's that simple. I'm skipping Federman too. I'm not
going to cover this. I'm going to get to, um, uh, this is a Oliver Larkin piece that's
short we'll cover this is good because I want to give a little bit of I want to give a little bit
of a highlight to our boy Oliver here he finally got some Fox News coverage but but basically
virtually every liberal virtually every liberal despises John Fetterman.
So, you should always present the question to these self-identifying democratic establishment
figureheads, why they are repeating on Fox News half the time the things that John Federman
says, okay?
That's the question I have for a lot of the establishment loyalists.
Unimperson asked the same question, do democratic establishment loyalists that hate people like
Jesse Waters ever take a step back and think about why they don't really hate
establishment Democrats as much as they pretend to.
Yeah, Jesse Waters, I kind of like her.
Mark from Mary, Pennsylvania, that's ticket to him, ladies,
Michigan's version of tampon. Tim, I kind of like stick it to him, lady.
I don't know. There's something about her. It's not that bad.
Andy from Floral Park.
Yeah. Of course he likes to get to him, lady. Why do you constantly
refuse to acknowledge what is this? Younger song was more based there.
I said I'm tired of pretending young house he had didn't soften his takes and said it like it is
Why do you refuse to acknowledge reality? What make us on young again? Okay, dude
1959 Republican Party platform
Yeah, provide federal assistance low-income communities protect social security provide asylum for refugees extend minimum wage improve unemployment benefits
Uh, system so it covers more people, strengthened labor laws so workers can more easily join
a union, assure equal pay for equal work regardless of sex.
For the record, the reason why this was the Republican party platform is because this
predates the, the Reagan era, okay?
This is still the tail end of the New Deal Democrats, New Deal democracy, basically,
like running and dominating American politics for decades. Okay? That's why the Republicans
were so conciliatory to the left message. That's why it feels like it's an entirely different
entirely different reality. Okay, this doesn't mean that the Republicans were good. It's just
that they had a far more progressive platform because they hadn't dominated American politics.
Of course, past the point of Ronald Reagan, America does this right-wing neoliberal pivot.
Bill Clinton obviously starts off with welfare reform, with like an incredibly right-wing
platform. And we're still living in that environment right now. That's why there's
tremendous growing pains. That's why there's tremendous growing pains right now because
there are forces in the opposition. There are forces in the opposition that are our
movement. We are trying to do everything in our power to force back an opposition party to
genuinely present a popular platform, a broad popular platform based around
universality, that will force the Republicans hand by winning, you know,
by winning elections, by pushing for this agenda that is associated with
democratic socialism that causes people to really reconsider what
socialism truly means. And that it's not this scary force in American politics, but one that actually
seeks to address some of the material inequalities.
Tired, tired of a set of people on the very far left in the Democratic party, my party,
telling us that in order for us to be progressives, we now have to believe ideas and support ideas
that are completely nuts. You've got a set of defunding, decriminalizing open borders.
We have run that play and gotten our butts kicked.
We don't need to do it a second time
to see if it turns out, if the movie turns out any different.
Prominent Democrat voices pushing back
on the growing influence of the Democratic Socialist
candidates, they say are ultimately
going to hurt the Democrat Party.
So let's talk about it with the national co-chair
of the Democratic Socialist of America, Megan Romer.
Megan, welcome to the show.
Thanks so much for having me, Shannon.
OK, so there's this growing conversation
about whether you can exist within the party,
whether you want to upend it for your own purposes,
a totally different platform.
The Daily Economy quotes you saying this
at a DSA convention last year.
We will win by making conditions so intolerable
for the ruling class that they would rather give in
to our demands than continue to live
with the disturbance we cause
until we are able to fully seize power ourselves.
Is that aimed at the Democrat Party?
It's aimed at, it's aimed from the working class
to the ruling class.
So the two-party duopoly, the two corporate parties,
it is aimed at both of them,
and it comes from the working class.
So should Van Jones and Roman Manuel and James Carvel
and all of the establishment Democrats
be worried about DSA plans from within their tent?
The establishment Democrats should be worried
about the voters and about what the voters think
and about what the constituency thinks.
And right now, they have not been delivering
and our candidates are and have been,
and it's resonating with voters.
So Jimmy Harrison, who was the DNC chair
after you guys had such a big night in New York City
and knocking off some of those incumbents
and having success with your candidates
in the congressional primaries,
he said, if you hate the Democratic Party,
then don't run for our nomination.
Don't use our resources, don't rely on our volunteers,
don't use our infrastructure,
focus on building the party you act on.
What's really funny about that is what infrastructure,
What volunteers, we have the volunteers. We have the doorknockers. You don't. You don't
have any resources. Everything that we're, the only thing that the Democrats can say
that, that we're utilizing is, is act blue. That's it. It's just a payment processor.
That's it. And, and I guess van too. And there are alternatives in the works there too. So
So it's not, there's no infrastructure that we are relying on.
If anything, you are relying on us.
You are relying on our door knockers, our organizers, the people who actually do want
to make change in this country that reluctantly go and campaign for do nothing Democrats over
and over again, right?
it.
Actually support other Democrats out there saying this is a separate party the DSA you don't belong
within the party. How do you respond to his statements there? Yeah I mean the two parties have
over years and decades created a system where ballot line access is. For the record even Van
And Act Blue has material benefits when the DSA uses it, right?
Because when you actually have Democratic socialists, doorknockers and
canvassers utilizing the advanced system that updates the system with new data,
and that's part of the reason why the Democrats would never kill the access that
its insurgent left flank has to these established software that DSA uses as well.
And the same thing goes for ACBLU, there's processing fees and things that we pay into
that is beneficial for not only the DNC but the existing software and the payment processors
to begin with. So even on that front, it's a mutually beneficial relationship at least for
for the time being difficult for third parties
i also have been told a lot of times by democrats don't vote third party it's
wasting your vote
uh... so we run on the democratic ballot line where it makes sense we run
independence sometimes uh... where where that is a
a viable possibility but
it's a ballot line uh... and what matters is what the voters think in the
voters are
uh... overwhelmingly
choosing our candidates
they certainly did in new york and in other place colorado and others uh... it's
It's not just a big city phenomenon or just a blue coastal phenomenon.
Okay, so we're going to put up on the screen a few of the things that are part of your
platform and I want to ask you just give me sort of a true or false on these.
Abolish the Senate.
True.
Okay.
Replace the presidency and Supreme Court as we now know them.
Yep.
Abolish ICE.
Absolutely.
Abolish Borders and give amnesty to anyone currently in the U.S. illegally.
As a long-term plan, defund the Pentagon, abolish prisons, at least in large part, as
part of a long-term program.
Government or public ownership of most large corporations?
Yes, absolutely.
Let's go back through some of those then.
Abolish the Senate.
There are people who are in the Senate now who are very supportive of DSA.
lose their seats? Well, the Senate is an anachronistic institution. It comes from the British House
of Lords. It is made to protect power for, you know, the Senate was part of the the system
that was made to make sure. I think the fast and easy answer to this is like, Texas has
the same level as, say, Delaware. Why is that appropriate? Texas is a powerhouse, a red
state. The Senate structure is unbelievably undemocratic. Its design is unbelievably undemocratic.
We just want every state to have more of a say, including the populous red states, not
just the populous blue states, but populous red states as well. That's it. Because there's
plenty of big red states that are hubs of economic activity like Texas, that you can
compare to blue states that are not, right? If you're going on Fox News, you can make
that argument. If you're going on MSNBC, you can make the opposite argument. California
has more Republicans and Democrats than numerous other states combined, and yet they have the
same level of influence within the Senate.
It's not necessarily Senate abolition per se, it's more so just making a more democratic
and more representative process.
But once again, we can have disagreements on this stuff, but you're just trying to present
this as unbelievably silly.
the Benefit Abolitioning Abolishing Prisons Law? Great question. The current carceral
structure is not designed around benefiting or like, okay, the question is this, what
is the purpose of prison? The purpose of prison theoretically is supposed to cordon off bad
individuals that have violated the rules and like broken some fundamental rules in society
So that we can all continue living in in society in harmony, right before guys stop
I'm explaining it to a normie and you're like it's fucking slavery. Yes. I just shut the fuck up
Okay, just stop for one second Jesus Christ the entire benefit. Thank you the entire purpose of
prisons in theory
okay, the entire purpose of prisons in theory is
To create
A more harmonious society.
Societies have rules and regulations.
There's a social contract when someone violates those contracts.
When someone violates those rules, we have to punish them.
We have to cordon them off of regular society.
And ultimately, the goal is supposed to be to rehabilitate them,
because prisons are not supposed to be permanent.
Like, the purpose of a prison system is not to like permanently cordon off someone from society,
unless they've done, you know, a heinous crime and it's virtually impossible for them to rehabilitate,
but that's not the North Star, right? The whole point is,
when someone does something heinous, we take them away from civilized society so they can't
continue doing harm. And the ultimate purpose of this is not to permanently torture these people
because it's not supposed to be about vengeance, right? It's supposed to be about justice. And
justice is about ensuring that these people learn their lesson and they never commit the same wrong
doing ever again. So if that's the actual theoretical purpose of the prison system,
how can you look at the American carceral system and say that this has been successful
when we have an unbelievably higher recidivism rate in this country than all other civilized
nations, all other developed nations, all other OECD nations. This means that the current
carceral system in the United States of America has been disastrous because our current carceral
system in the United States of America cares little about ensuring that the rate of recidivism
is lowered. What I'm talking about when I say recidivism for people that don't
know is people who re-offend. They go to prison, they come out of prison, and
they re-offend people in the United States of America that like the
current structure, that sometimes even have a financial investment in the
continuation of this current torturer's prison structure, say, oh well our rate of
recidivism is terrible in this country, that means we just need to be more cruel.
Okay, we need to be more ruthless in our prison system. This doesn't solve the problem at all.
Look no further than Nordic-style democracies, okay, where their prison system is far more
humane and therefore they have a much lower rate of recidivism, a reoffending, a rate of
reoffense in those countries. Okay. Well, I am not a prison abolitionist. I understand
where prison abolitionists are coming from. And I believe that they're closer to the truth
than the normal position in American society, which is like, we need to throw away people
and lock them up and torture them endlessly. That is insane. That is inhumane. That's incompatible
with civilized democracy. And that's not something that other countries, even our Western allies
or counterparts actually are on board with. But if I were to steal man, the prison abolitionist
position as someone who has done a decent amount of reading on the subject matter from
Angela Davis and onward.
What I would say is this.
Prison abolitionists believe that the overwhelming majority if not damn near entirety of all
crime, even crime born out of anti-social personality disorder, is the root cause of
all of that crime as material conditions.
So if you solve the underlying material inequities, there will no longer be any need for the current
carceral structure.
Okay?
That's it.
Prison abolitionists do not believe in ending all prisons tomorrow.
Prison abolitionists don't believe that.
I'm not a prison abolitionist, but you have to be honest about what they believe.
Prison abolitionists believe that we need to move to a healthier society where there
is no more need for prison.
Okay?
That's not true.
Okay.
What's the prison abolitionist position then?
I think that's a pretty fair assessment.
Thank you very much for joining us.
Thank you.
That the people didn't have too much of a say, so we want to expand the Congress significantly
but make it a unicameral legislature.
Okay, and without the presidency and Supreme Court to abolish ICE, would there be any enforcement
of immigration laws or with abolishing the border, there's, we're not enforcing immigration
laws, they go away.
Yeah, so again, this is part of this longer term plan and part of it includes, yeah, I
mean, if we can get to the place where the U.S. is not destabilizing countries in order
to mine them for resources, there will be significantly less migration.
What do you say to those who thought that that would potentially destabilize the U.S.?
Because there's only so much the economy can bear and when you have a flood of people
coming in, it might not work out economically.
to a lot of analyses if you just open up the borders and there's no enforcement at all.
Well we're not saying open the borders tomorrow. We're saying rebuild an economy and a society
that works for everyone. And the open borders is part of a longer term international plan
that involves us stopping destabilizing countries. Most people who are coming to this country
are coming as economic refugees and we destabilized their country. We did that.
Well, a lot of, you know, if you look at data, the Center for Immigration Studies says right now the people, the households here in the U.S. that are headed up by people who are here illegally, nearly 61% of them are on some type of government or welfare program here in the U.S.
Can we afford to do that? I mean, at some point you run out of resources.
Well, right now we make it very difficult for people to participate in society.
That's bullshit.
Center for Immigration Studies is an insanely white nativist outlet.
It's an unbelievably racist shop and their numbers are always wrong.
Remember, outside of Cato and Brookings, most of the think tanks that hyper-focus on immigration are just like super white nativist
and objectively lying all the time. Okay? The thing that they they complain about as far as welfare goes is American citizens.
They're just coordinating off American citizens that happen to be children of either undocumented migrants with tourists or, you know, legal permanent residents as undocumented migrants themselves.
It's fundamentally at odds with birthright.
Those are American citizens. Undocumented migrants can't take advantage of the social safety nets.
We already have an issue with social safety nets in this country.
We don't really have a bountiful social safety net here at all.
The strain that undocumented migrants put on the American social safety nets is negligible.
It's not real. This bullshit is made up.
in such a way that they can avoid using services. So we want people to be able to work and live
and go to school and actually participate, which means contributing to society and also
getting what they need from society. It's a collective choice we can all make.
So if we talk about abolishing prisons then, does that make society better? I mean, is
Is there anybody that should be incarcerated, I mean rapists, child predators, murderers?
Yeah, so the long term plan, when we think about most people who are in prison, they
are mostly in prison for crimes of poverty.
So when we-
But that's not what I'm talking about.
I'm talking about the really, you know, like the murderers and rapists of the world.
Yeah, so when we get rid of this need for crimes of poverty to exist, when we get rid
of that destabilizing force that creates so many people who are living in desperate situations
and doing desperate things, that brings those numbers down to very small numbers.
And then we can collectively decide what we do with those people.
I suspect it won't look like the prison system as we know it today.
Okay, but you do think some people need to be locked away from society?
Some people are not able to be functional members of society.
That's true.
But what does that look like to keep the rest of us safe?
You know, we're talking about safety.
We're not talking about...
Um, yeah, I think like this is where this is where my ultra instant kicks in where I'm like, oh, I want I want to put people in prison.
I do.
Prison is about rehabilitation is supposed to be about rehabilitation. Unfortunately, in this country, it's about, you know, enacting some court, some sort of like false draconian sense of vengeance.
Having said that, however, I mean, I'd put a lot of people in prison. I put a lot of you know Trump the Epstein class
You know, there's definitely a lot of hucksters and
Broadsters and charlatans that are currently being defended by Fox News that I would
Love to put behind bars. We have to live in a society with law and order
You know
I'm a firm and committed believer in law and order baby.
I would put 10 CEOs poisoning the water supply in exchange for the one mother who had to
go to prison for stealing $14 so she could pay for her son's diapers.
Currently, in American society, that's who we jail.
We jailed a little guy.
We jailed a working class stiff.
We jailed a dispossessed who's gotten fucked over, over and over again.
Meanwhile, the real criminals at the tippy top get to design the rules and get away with
violating the same rules that they wrote anyway.
Those are the people who should be in prison.
Punishment, we're talking about making sure that we are safe, everybody's safe, everybody
maintains their dignity, and everybody maintains their humanity.
Okay, so much more to discuss.
I hope that you will come back, especially as we figure out what the party does with
respect to you, meeting the Democrat Party, and your role in it, and in 2028 especially.
Thank you, Pomer, thank you.
Thank you so much for having me.
It's been a pleasure.
You know prison is a construct right? Not a place that's different in jail.
Whatever man, I'm using prison and jail interchangeably and colloquially. Okay.
I know. I know. I want long-term and voluntary commitment for financial criminals. Okay.
Put them in whatever the fuck you want to call it.
I think it says a lot about our priorities who we choose to jail and who we choose never
to prosecute at all.
Thank you very much for having me on, Martha.
So one of the things that we just played in the tease was your comment about Prime Minister
Netanyahu.
relevant obviously because of what's going on in Iran and also because he's expected
and the president has said he's welcome here for a visit and that he'll be back in September.
He's coming next week and he'll be back in September.
It was a little bit embarrassing for Mayor Ramamdhani, I think, because he had to admit
that he doesn't have any jurisdiction to arrest the prime minister of another country
in New York and the NYPD, doesn't have that kind of power at all either.
regrets about sort of jumping on that bandwagon, that idea that he should be arrested?
No regrets and not necessarily bandwagoning. I'm just following what the International
Criminal Court has assessed that Benjamin Netanyahu has committed war crimes in Gaza.
And I believe that the United States, any federal or otherwise law enforcement entity
that has the legal jurisdiction to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu for his war crimes, that
That should be enforced.
The United States needs to abide by the law, both our own laws and international law.
The horror in Gaza has now extended to include the deaths of 18 U.S. service members and
over 500 who have been injured in this illegal war with Iran.
So we just want to de-escalate the situation and bring this killing to a close.
Well, you're grouping a lot of things together there in terms of what's going on with Iran
as well.
But, you know, not to get too deep into the weeds.
Great messaging.
Yeah, tied back to Benjamin Netanyahu's contributions
to dying American soldiers on Fox News brilliant strategy.
It's not only correct, but it's a connection
that Fox News viewers should be able to make
and could potentially make.
of course for the ultras they would be like why did you go on Fox News and not
say that the america caca Nazis were murdered and that's a good thing and
you should be pissing on their graves or something because they're fucking
stupid. Okay. You know, I think it's good. I think it's good to message like this. One,
because it's true. It is true.
It's on the ICC, but the United States doesn't recognize the jurisdiction of the International
Criminal Court.
Neither does Iran, by the way.
Yeah, we recognize it for Vladimir Putin, though, sometimes.
Do you think that the Iranian leaders for massacring tens of thousands of people in
their streets, should they face some kind of international criminal court justice as
as well for their massacres?
I certainly support the international criminal courts
enforcement of anyone that's accused
of massacring civilians.
And my most proximate concern right now,
running for United States Congress,
is the crimes that are committed by the United States,
the bombing of a girl's school in Minab
that killed 120 school-aged girls,
as well as dozens of civilians.
On the very first day of this war,
there must be accountability.
primary and incumbent Democrat who was very supportive of the Biden administration supporting
Benjamin Netanyahu in the early days of this genocide.
Look, look, notice when the left goes on Fox News to criticize a centrist. Do you notice
that there's a major difference here? One, the host is of course in disagreement. Sometimes
an utter disbelief of the things that he's saying, too. He is criticizing the Republicans
first and foremost, and then offering criticism or critiques to Democratic counterparts that
are conciliatory to the Republican agenda.
When centrists go on Fox News, they agree with Fox News. They agree with Fox News and attack
their left leg. When a leftist goes on Fox News, the leftists will attack the Republicans,
the leftists will attack Trump, the leftists will usually attack MAGA, and then the leftists
will pair that critique with those in the ranks of the Democratic Party that are conciliatory
to the MAGA agenda. That's the major difference. That's what you're supposed to do.
I have a very strong core critique of both political parties that have been party to this endless war after my entire life
Seeing two trillion dollars spent on a wars with Iraq and Afghanistan
I fear very much that the Iranian regime has killed thousands of American military members
Around the world really over the last 47 years. So they've been attacking us for for many many years and killing our people
That's not true
Oh, I am sorry, Oliver, we got to go to the White House right now because we have a live
event.
But I hope you'll rejoin us because it's a really important conversation that Americans
are having right now.
And I thank you for your time today.
We've got breaking news.
Be sure to like and subscribe for all the Fox News latest on YouTube and catch full
show streaming now on Fox one.
I am tired, tired, tired.
Aren't we already watched this?
Bernard went on face-to-nation ZBS and clipped Rahm Emanuel a clinic. I got a P but it's very exciting stuff
13 straight days of US bombing US strikes were halted over the weekend
regional sources tell CBS that talks between Oman and Iran on reopening the Strait of Hormuz appear to be headed in a positive direction
direction, although caution more negotiations are needed.
As oil prices rose again last week to their highest level in more than a month, a new
CBS poll finds two-thirds of Americans believe the U.S. should end the conflict with Iran
now, while just one-third say it should continue until Iran makes further concessions.
Only 35 percent approve of President Trump's handling of the war.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon is asking Congress for additional funding as the costs of the
conflict mount.
We begin this morning with Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
Welcome back to Face the Nation, Senator.
Good to be with you.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Congress he needs $67 billion on an emergency basis
to help pay the troops, to help restock munitions.
I know you object to the war, but we're in this thing now, and I know you want to help
the troops.
So how do you do that without providing the funding?
Well, Margaret, we need $67 billion to build housing to make sure that all of our people
have health care, that we deal with climate change, that we deal with a middle class,
a working class in this country that is struggling.
The war in Iran is unconstitutional.
It is illegal.
Should never have been started.
We need to sit down, negotiate, and this war as quickly as possible.
So our polling that we just referenced there show that the president does have low approval
ratings, but when it comes to Democrats, they actually fare slightly worse on this.
When they were asked by CBS, who has a better approach to around 32 percent, say Trump and
the GOP, only 30 percent say Democrats.
So what should the solution be here?
Is there an affirmative vision from Democrats on how to get out of it?
The solution should be A, and by the way, both the House and the Senate have voted for
war powers resolution that makes it clear what Trump is doing is illegal.
But given that we are where we are right now, let's sit down, let's negotiate with them,
let's stop the killing, let's stop the devastation to our economy, which is raising gas prices,
prices all across the board.
That's what we've got to do.
Sit down, negotiate, let's end this war.
couple losses where they are. Yes. Okay. Well, we are 100 days out from the mid
term races. I know you've been working going around the country to help boost
some of these progressive candidates. Main is a state that could flip control
of the Senate. Yesterday, 600 main primary delegates replaced scandal ridden
grand platner with Troy Jackson. He's a logger. He's a progressive. He had been
allied with Plattener before he called on him to wake out in the wake of those sexual
assault allegations. I'm wondering, with a hundred days out, can Jackson play catch-up
here?
I think he can. I think what Troy, and I've known Troy for many years, what he understands
that the people of Maine are sick and tired of a rigged economy in which the billionaire
class is getting richer and richer where we have more income and wealth inequality today
than we've ever had in the history of this country while 60% of our people, including
in Maine, including in Vermont, all over this country are living paycheck to paycheck,
trying to put food on the table, trying to pay for health care for housing, put aside
a few bucks for retirement. Troy understands that. He's a working class guy. He's from
the working class. He is very articulate. I think he stands an excellent chance to win.
The problem that he has, and the problem that we have in Michigan and Minnesota right now,
we have candidates of Abdul El Sayed and Peggy Flanagan, is that the oligarchs, the billionaire
class, are throwing unbelievable amounts of money into these campaigns to protect the
establishment candidates.
And whether we can overcome that, that remains to be seen.
But in Michigan right now, the billionaires' super PACs are spending $50 million against
I'll say it.
Well, you were an early supporter in Maine of Graham Plattener.
You helped him rise.
Do you regret not acting earlier to call for him to drop out, given the warning signs?
Would that have given you a leg up here with Jackson?
No, I don't think so.
When we heard the serious allegations made against him, I wanted to get on the phone.
I wanted to talk to him.
I did.
I asked, along with virtually all his supporters, I bet he should get out of the race anyway.
But you are confident that you are endorsements.
These other candidates have been fully met.
Well look, I think...
There were hundreds of candidates, I don't know, who has been quote unquote fully
then. Well you just mentioned two of them. All I know is
Margaret, the candidates that we are supporting
are standing up for the working class of this country. And at a time
time when so many people are discouraged, deeply discouraged, whether you're Republicans,
Democrats, independents, about a, not only a rigged economy, but a corrupt campaign
finance system in which billionaires are buying elections.
I think the candidates that I and other progressives are supporting are generating enormous grassroots
excitement and enthusiasm.
As you indicated, I was in Michigan, Minnesota.
We had large rallies for SIAd and Peggy Flanagan.
There is, as you know, though, concern within democratic circles that these inner-party
primary fights are draining resources and sort of pulling away from what should be a unified
message.
Rahm Emanuel wrote in the Wall Street Journal, the Bernie-
Yeah, this is bullshit.
Because as I've said time and time again, there's a real simple solution to not draining
these resources which is the run better campaigns that don't require the establishment to dump
any resources whatsoever. Also look at Bernie smirking because he knows he's about to get
a slam dunk off here. Perhaps no better person that they could have asked about to Bernie
Sanders and Romfuckin' Emmanuel. Okay.
Bernie and Somersby's is like the perfect foil to the politics that Rahm Emanuel represents.
Rahm Emanuel is responsible for a lot of these failures.
Bernie is responsible for this like new movement that's growing.
But ultimately, as I was saying, when they complain about this stuff, when they stop
different guys complain about this stuff like they're complaining they're they're
crying to the referee right they're like oh you're forcing us to actually run
campaigns
you're forcing us to run campaigns how dare you how dare you force our record
in a broad daylight how dare you make the voters choose a better option
That's what they're complaining about.
Because if you were capable of defending
your seat because you've a great constituent services,
that you're not like a style from cut out,
then it would be impossible.
If you were a diligent fundraiser on your own,
it wouldn't be an issue.
I don't think a democratic party should spend that much money or any money at all on defending
these seats.
If you're a fucking four-year incumbent or if you're a four-term incumbent, your seat
should be impossible to take out.
Okay?
Okay? Unless there is tremendous outside money coming in, which is ironic because
I don't remember the Democratic Party defending Cory Bush,
nor do I remember them defending Jamal Bowman,
nor do I remember them defending AOC,
So why won't they treat the establishment Democrats in the same way?
Those people had to fight for their own seats, some of them lost, because there was tremendous
outside money.
Okay. Do you understand?
There have been attempts to unseat incumbent Democrats in the House of Representatives.
I just gave you some prominent examples, many of which failed.
They did not get help from the establishment.
They did not get help from the coffers of the House of Representatives, the Democratic
Party.
They had to do that on their own.
And there were those who lost because there was a tremendous...
There was one redistricting that took place with Jamal Bowman and a tremendous amount
of outside expenditures coming from APEC.
And the same thing happened with Cory Bush, again, tens of millions of dollars coming
from APEC.
The Democrats did not defend them.
They did not defend those incumbents.
I'm sorry, wanting about popular grassroots candidates wasting APEC's resources the most
spiritually Israeli shit.
Yeah, exactly.
Let's hear what Bernard had to say.
He grows could spoil Democrats midterms.
He said the DSA and others are saddling the party
with nominees who, as he put it,
wildly in popular positions will protect Republicans
from having to pay the price of Donald Trump's corruption.
Said it was the socialists who led the charge
to defund the police, open borders, abolish prisons.
He's saying those are losing messages
that are going to hurt the party overall.
How do you respond?
That is what that is what Rahm Emanuel is saying.
Who no doubt has the support of millions
of working class people.
Look, this is an argument, there's no debate.
There is a strong division within the Democratic Party.
You have an establishment like Rahm Emanuel
who are dependent on billionaire campaign contributors
who want to maintain the status quo.
And then you have a progressive movement,
which by the way, what is getting these guys' services,
we are winning all over this country.
It's suddenly Moundani in New York City,
it's in New Jersey, it's in Ohio, it's in Colorado.
People are sick and tired of the Rahm Emanuels
and the Democratic establishment
and the Republican establishment.
They are asking simple questions, Margaret.
Why in God's name are we the only major country on earth
not to guarantee health care to all people
as a human right?
Pretty simple question.
Canada does it, Europe does it,
somehow we can't do it.
Why do we have an economy
which one man missed the mosque,
owns more wealth than the bottom half of American society.
Why did the economist tell us that in the richest country
in the history of the world,
our kids will likely have a lower standard
of living than their parents.
The American people are tired of a rigged economy,
a corrupt campaign, finances, they want real change.
They don't want Rahm Emanuel and the establishment
maintaining the status quo.
But in the meantime, I hear...
cooked. I mean, this is the this is so perfect for Bernard. This is literally his his stump
speech for 854 years now. So 854 years strong. Oh my god. Yes, bro. Yes, I've seen Bernard
shooting fucking hoops. Okay, Jesus Christ here. All right, you got it. He still got
it. Oh man, still got it. Okay, are you on the message that you think is resonating on
the, you know, the tactical planning here. Do you think in the state of Michigan that
you were just talking about with Abdul El Sayed, he's a public health official, he's
a populist, but he's running against a moderate, Haley Stevens. Do you really think that in
a state like Michigan, it's going to be a progressive Democrat who could beat a Republican
in November? This was a state Trump narrowly won.
I hate this argument, man. Yes, Trump won because he was anti-establishment. Michigan
is not supposed to be a purple state. Michigan is a blue state, a deep blue fucking state.
The problem is the Democratic Party is no longer deep blue. That's it. Or rather, what
a lot of people in the media and what a lot of people in the Democratic Party are claiming
is deep blue is actually associated with like some of the sillier things that people greatly
exaggerate, right? Stuff that they're doing to the DSA platform right now. Oh, they want
to make sure every cop goes to prison, blah, blah, blah, all this shit. Like, no, that's
not the point, man. We want accountability. Okay.
If you run a left populist candidacy in Michigan, you're going to do incredible numbers.
And Abdul is going to prove that.
He is going to show the rest of the country that Michigan is not a fucking purple state.
It's not a swing state.
Michigan is a stronghold for left-flank populists.
But what kind of left-flank populism?
What kind of left-flank politics are we talking about?
Is it better things are not possible, incremental change?
Or is it broad sweeping radical agenda items that are not so radical to the average person
of the working class folks, Medicare for all, ending our endless militarism overseas?
These are not radical ideas.
They are radical in DC.
They are not radical in Michigan.
That's it.
This is from the beginning of July. They wrote about me and Abdul.
Absolutely. Whether it's Michigan, Minnesota, Vermont, or any place else in this country.
The point I'm trying to make, Margaret.
You say Wisconsin, Burndog.
And the polling indicates this. The people are sick and tired of the status quo.
Quo, we are the richest country in the history of the world.
We should have the highest standard of living for all of our people, not massive income
and wealth inequality.
And by the way, we should not be continuing to get involved in genocidal wars with Israel
in Gaza or getting involved in the destruction of Lebanon.
People want change in foreign policy and in domestic policy, the status quo is not working.
But for Republicans, we're looking at this, they're saying that's great.
Is Bernie going to tell his supporters not to show up, for example, if Haley Stevens
wins out in Michigan?
Or will you say it's not?
Oh my God, I'm Brian kill me.
I'm Brian kill me.
It's literally the same meta.
It's 2016 permanently.
It's permanently 2016.
It'll never be a different year.
16 politics, Bernie Bro politics will forever follow all of us around.
It is so fucking unbearable.
Dude, I hate it.
I despise it.
I hate it with every fiber of my being, folks.
It is un-fucking-bearable.
Oh, will you support Haley Stevens?
Like, what is this conversation?
What is this conversation right now?
Why are we having this conversation right now?
What is the necessity?
Why change your work twice? Yeah, I know I know it did
Except this time Bernie has the backing of the public so he can turn around and say yeah
This conversation is exactly why Michigan was lost twice
Both to Hillary Rodham Clinton and then to Kamala Harris. We can't repeat the same mistake
Haley Stevens promoting George will is a good window into Howard campaign is basically amalgam.
I've never Trump Republicans like will very pragmatic Republicans a pack and the soon
to be the Democratic Party left me for a Sompiker Republicans.
Yeah.
Gretchen Wimmer and Gary Peters are now soon to be Republicans.
They're soon to be civilians looking for the next down payment on a lakehouse.
True.
In the end, the Democrats have to unify.
Margaret, the Republicans, and maybe it's the Republican establishment, maybe it's
the billionaires who own the Republican Party.
Your working class Republicans are not going to say that.
They can't afford to pay for health care.
They can't afford to send their kids to the college.
They can't afford decent retimes.
And more than a few of them, by the way, will be voting for Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota
and Abdul in Michigan.
You talked about the cost of living.
When we look at polling, it's healthcare costs that are the public's top economic worry,
according to KFF.
Out in Vermont, you've got the most expensive ACA premiums in the entire country.
I'm hearing from Republican senators now that they want to make changes to healthcare.
Gretchen Whitmer is personally antagonistic towards non-paywalled health care. She is
the daughter of a big health care executive. That's part of the reason why she endorsed
Abdull El-Sahed's opponent Haley Stevens. Gretchen Whitmer is also very clearly trying
to farm as much corporate goodwill as she possibly can, as we've seen her go out to
bat for data centers.
And yes, she is still a fairly popular governor, but I don't think she is so popular that she
will dramatically alter the trajectory of this race.
But the fact that Gretchen Whitmer is still going out the bat in this regard shows me
that the establishment is scared.
She ended a governor's race for the express purpose of running against Abdullah as I told
everyone they were inexplicably hyping her up.
Yeah, Whitmer is the daughter of her former longtime CEO of health insurance giant Blue
Cross, and she's been bankrolled by Blue Cross.
Her endorsement against a pro medicare for Al-Qaeda, Abdullah Sayed, is extremely on-brand.
This is corporate power trying to protect its power.
I will say this though, I will say this.
I think Gresham Whitmer a couple years ago would have been a devastating force in Michigan
politics to reckon with because she was objectively popular.
I think the Trump stuff greatly diminished her credibility.
That's number one and number two.
You know, the whole Trump debacle greatly diminished her credibility with her base.
And the second thing is the data center.
She is in the pocket of big corporate spenders.
She is allowing data centers to be built in the state.
People fucking despise these goddamn data centers.
So that's something to consider.
Here's another great take.
Josh Spear is much more popular than Whitmer in his state and his endorsement against Rab
didn't go anywhere.
uh... i don't think josh bird made a big show of his endorsement
the josh bird endorse against uh... chris rap
i might be misremembering
i think he leaned
He might have, he might have like leaned into, yeah, he angled behind the scenes for Sharif
Street.
But I don't think he came out with a full, full throat endorsement.
There's a difference there.
Of course, as far as the Haley Stevens endorsement of Gretchen Whitmer endorsement of Haley Stevens,
Does anyone know if this is real?
What is this?
I mean this looks like a promo for Democrats but also at the same time if Trump comes out
strongly for data centers I think a lot of the dumb fuck Republican cultists will probably
also run with that.
Yeah, here going back to Gresham Whitmer here is the hot mic moment
Governor Whitmer with Oracle CEO Clay McGorrick talking about data centers
Yeah, she says we're used to people saying no and doing it anyway ha ha ha ha
We used to call Kevin Rudd Kevin 747 because he was always on a plane probably to China
finding NIMFO.
Yeah, Kevin Rudd.
He's got a great tag.
He's got a great tag on China.
His growing behemoth.
The growing dragon.
I have the global manufacturing giant China.
in my life, learning about China, and it's time, it's time to put that knowledge to
task. I'd like to get Kevin Rudd on the stream. How many people do you know? After they were
Prime Minister, they went back. After they were Prime Minister, they went back and land
further, went to Oxford, Oxford Uni mate, and decided, decided to study further, learn
more about China, give in Rud, thought to himself, look, these guys are building a lot
of bridges built in a lot of hospital rail. I need to learn more about how they did it.
I'm going to die please not the Aussie accent why not. Wait till he has a book release
He'll come on a stream, the flow goes whaz.
Yeah.
Tugid.
Very Tugid stuff.
You have everything so many and you want to be put to sleep, you should read different
chapters in my book about Chano.
You sound like a New Zealander, I know, but to Americans this sounds great.
You're making Kivin sound like a yogle? True. Like a gemmon?
Well I always slays off and drinks a fucking VB long nag in the morning and one of the
afternoon spot on.
He sounds a lot like a bogan not a gemman sorry a bogan a fucking bogan.
much longer. I don't know. Go high pitch, you don't sound Maori? Yeah. Anyway, but yeah,
that's Gretchen Wimmer. She's a corporate student herself.
Two, your chair on the health committee. You have been championing change. Why aren't
we seeing any traction in Congress if this is the number one issue? Why can't you guys
work on a bipartisan basis here.
Margaret, that is a great, great question.
And I have to tell you, the answer
has everything to do with money and politics,
that the function of the current health care system
is not to do what other countries are doing around the world,
guaranteeing health care, quality health care
to all of our people as a human right.
The function of the current American health care system
is to make billions of dollars in profits
from the insurance companies and the drug companies.
and they are spending huge amounts in campaigns,
huge contributions to make sure that that happens.
So when we talk about a political revolution,
when we talk about a grassroots movement,
one of the things we're talking about
is we have got to join every other major country
through a Medicare for all single payer program.
Is there a single payer program in this country
that you think actually worked?
I mean, Vermont struggled with it when your state tried it.
Is there a model for what you're talking about?
No, Vermont, no, there is not.
But 50 miles north of where I am talking to you right now,
they are spending half as much per capita as we spend,
and somehow or another, they manage to guarantee
health care to every man, woman, and child in that country.
You go to the hospital for a month,
you come out, there is no bill.
Is it a perfect system?
No, but we are the only major country
that does not guarantee health care to all people.
That is what we've got to do.
You are the ranking member on the health committee.
The CDC has been without a Senate-confirmed leader
at now for nearly 11 months.
The FDA doesn't have a chief going on two months now.
There's no surge in general.
Under questioning, Dr. Erica Schwartz,
President Trump's nominee, was repeatedly
asked if she would resist political pressure.
I know her answers did not win your vote.
But do you think that she even has enough support
to make it out of committee and ultimately to get confirmed?
Look, I like to personally, I mean she has a very strong background in public health and the military.
She's an attorney as well, very impressive resume.
But when you're dealing with the Health and Human Services Department agency,
the issue is whether people will stand up to Bobby Kennedy, Secretary Kennedy,
in his conspiracy theories regarding-
Do you hear Zoran praised Mao?
Zorn didn't take too well to what you saying Lkai why Lee oh Lee was more rather than check
my logs way he did not praise Mal dude Zorn I'm not he would never fucking praise Mal
are you kidding me that's so funny at most he would do like he would he would do maybe
a subtle nod and then the entirety of the media would go crazy over a check check pfp
no oh sure why not
yeah he'll quote gromshi and people go crazy over and vaccines etc etc uh she did not impress me
somebody who in fact would do that. You don't think she will ultimately make it
through? I don't know that she will or not. She may gain Republicans what I
will for her. You do have bipartisan support from the Maha caucus for a bill
to require warning labels for ultra-processed foods and to try to
restrict marketing to kids. Doesn't the FDA kind of already do that with all the
disclosures on packaging that tell you the ingredients? I mean nowhere near
enough, you know, nowhere near enough. Look, we have a problem, a really serious
crisis in this country in terms of obesity. I think one out of five, five
children in America is obese and that translates into diabetes, which is, as
you know, just a terrible illness impacting our country and very expensive
to deal with. We're spending about $400 billion a year dealing with diabetes.
So what I want to say, and I think a lot of people want to see is strong
Labeling you know so if a mom goes through a grocery store and the kid says hey
I want that Coca-Cola understand that a 20 ounce bottle of Coca-Cola has 15
teaspoons of sugar in it bad stuff, and it's not just coke obviously
It's all these sweetened drinks and what kinds of processed foods
So what we are trying to do is a have strong labeling and be banned
and TV advertising of junk food, the kids.
Well, you do have some Republican support for it.
We'll keep an eye on it.
Senator Sanders, thank you for your time this morning.
All right.
Now we're getting to Michigan.
We're putting our crosshairs.
We're setting our sights on Michigan, a pivotal race
that will most likely define 2028,
the future of the Democratic Party
and perhaps the future of American democracy.
That's right, the stakes are unbelievably high,
which is precisely the reason why CNN
is sending their best guy, John King.
Okay?
CNN is sending John King down there
to take the suit off, roll up his sleeves,
and to find out what's going on in the state of Michigan.
You're a truck humor, damn, I don't think it's...
We don't need lip service.
Look, I'm not a celebrity candidate.
Alcide versus Stevens and so much more.
I was trying to.
I'm going to be honest, I fucking despise the the yokel schtick that Haley Stevens does.
OK, I'll say it.
I've been saying it already.
I need people to see what I'm seeing.
Every time she does the hammed up like, this is this is how I talk.
This is how Michiganders talk.
She's tuning it up.
I was at first, before the wave, I had said she was growing on me. Okay. The accent was
growing on me. Now I see it as something entirely different. I see it as something unbelievably
indecent because I realize that I too was duped a little bit by the character. Okay.
It's the George W. Bush method. George W. Bush is not as much of a yokel as you would think he is,
but he always presented himself as such. It's a facade. It's very disingenuous. Her politics
are no different than the likes of JD Vance. Her politics are no different than the classic
corporate Democrat, a bicoastal elite, okay? But she tries to tune up her frequency to make it seem
like, oh, everyone's actually criticizing me because I'm from Michigan. I'm from Michigan. I love
Michigan. Oh, I'm just a local donch on all. Okay. That's what she does. Okay. And under that veneer,
under that Yockel veneer, the lovable, Michigander veneer, lies the most toxic, the most repulsive
version of American politics, one that places corporate interests above the interests of
the working class, one that has lost the state of Michigan twice to a fascist. Okay? I don't
like the shtick at all
here's a moment where she really leans into it like oh i'm just a yoko
all of these gold kids on the internet
don't you know these are by cost of the leaders don't you know
i'm so glad
that the democrats have their own fucking sarah palin
okay some of you have seen you know there's those cool kids on the internet
they're doing the cool kid chatter some of them might be the coastal elites
oh they're just attacking me don't you know I just want regular folks look at
me I'm wearing my jean jacket oh oh oh I'm just a Michigander through and through
Devoid of policy, utterly devoid of policy, utterly devoid of a vision of the affirmative,
utterly devoid of what she is going to change about the way things are going in Michigan
and for Michiganders and also at the federal level, because the Senate is a federal position
regardless.
It's all phony bullshit.
And the faster we identify this, the easier things will be.
We got 10 days remaining, okay?
We'll have a lot of time.
Funna how I talk.
Not okay.
Says my governor.
But let's be real.
They're making fun of Michigan.
They're making fun of yous.
We all talk like this.
The amount of people that I have in my community from Michigan that have been losing their fucking minds about how
Her uber accent doesn't make any fucking sense whatsoever for the Rochester neighborhood that she comes from has been unbelievable
Okay
Yeah
Okay
It's not okay. Don't you know?
This is how we all sound
All right, I'm a leprechaun now I'm Michigan leprechaun. This is how we speak in the Midwest
all right. Oh, you, you buy costs and they just don't know how we sound. Me lucky charms
top of the morning.
They're thinking they're better than us, and what they don't know is I am your voice.
And their jokes and their criticism only makes me fight harder.
I'm a you per even though I'm from Rochester I'll never tell you about my politics you
won't hear about it don't ask me a question about Israel which Israel comes to me in my
My dreams. That's right. Some of you.
Anti-establishment is exactly what we need right now. I'm very frightened by what I. As a Michigan person,
I know several upper, uh, seven people from upper and they hate it the most. We can't tell if,
tell it's that fake down south. They can. To them, it's like, if you were trying to do your
Scottish and Scotland, that bad? Yeah. I'm a Uber and I pray I don't sound like that.
Wow, go have a pasty. I mean, the, the Uper say she doesn't sound like them and people
from her neighborhood say she definitely doesn't sound like that. But ultimately, every conversation
that we're having about her accent is a conversation that we're not having about her, her financial
backers, APEC, DTE. And yes, she is actually savvy. She's a lot more savvy than we give
her credit. It's odd that the establishment could throw tons and tons of money to try
to buy elections, but can't find better cans to enter Cuomo and Healey Stevens. Elliott
says something like, no man without convictions can write good pros. And that may have something
to do with this problem. The right has convictions, often loopy ones, but their convictions, the
center, not a, yeah. Yeah. The reason why they can't find good candidates other than
like Andrew Cuomo or Haley Stevens is because most people that are willing to take the bag
like that, they are going to be unbelievably uncharismatic. They're going to be the ones
who need that bag to get into a position of power. They can't win it on their own merits.
Okay, that's it
Yeah, Haley Stevens seems to be Matt thus clocks her ass by the way
I guess the cool kids on the internet versus the cool out of state billionaires propping up her campaign
Haley Stevens seems to be taking a page from Republican Senator John Kennedy
Dramatically paying up folksy regional accent to appear more populist instead of having actual populist policy ideas
The problem for Hailey Stevens also is what happens when A-PAC no longer funds her candidacy.
Because from the position of A-PAC, there's no difference to Mike Rogers. As a matter
of fact, Mike Rogers might even be seen as a more reliable vote, more reliable pro-Israel
vote than Hailey Stevens.
So what happens when A-PAC goes, yeah, we're not going to fucking spend the same amount
of money to make sure that the Democrat wins here? The Democratic Party is already turning
on us. What then? Because she's gotten $54 to $60 million in outside expenditures so
far from a litany of different corporations and from APAC. APAC is responsible for $34
million of that. Okay. More than half. What happens when APAC no longer funds her candidacy
if she wins the primary? God forbid. What then? Is she going to carry the Yopra accent
against Mike Rogers. Is that what's going to work? Yeah, she'll stand around and go,
what gives? Especially at that point, many people who already were discouraged by the
Israel influence in the previous election are probably going to feel discouraged once
again. It's cooked. It's cooked.
I see going on in the Democratic Party, a Democratic family feud, you can't keep going in the same direction if you keep losing a must win sentencing and a big battleground state.
It's a valid argument, but it will not help Abdul win the primary. First of all, Abdul will win the primary on his ground game on his integrity and most importantly, on his policies. Okay.
That's how Abdul is gonna win the primary.
But the reason why I'm bringing this aspect up is because the tool that the Democrat has,
the tool that the Democrats have at their disposal that they weaponize against the left is always
electability.
My argument is, when I bring up electability, I'm not bringing up electability because I
think it's like the most important concept.
I already know Abdul's electable.
The reason why I'm bringing up electability is because it neutralizes the commentary from
the near attendants of the world, the center-right forces within the Democratic Party that constantly
say, Abdul's not electable, Abdul's not electable, Abdul's not electable.
It's fucking bullshit.
Okay?
It is Haley Stevens who is not electable, and I need everyone to know that.
Which of the two candidates is not electable?
the one that actually gets small-dollar donations, or the one whose candidacy is entirely propped
up by every fucking corporate entity in the country.
If Hailey Stevens was electable, she would not need $54 million with a zero-ground game.
If Haley Stevens was electable, Gary Peters wouldn't have had to come in in the last second.
Gretchen Whitmer wouldn't have had to come in and endorse her in the last second.
Keep your eyes on the prize, folks.
Haley Stevens and Common Parliance is an industry plant, okay?
She is an industry plant style candidate.
She has no real value.
She has no moral conviction. She will never place Michiganders nor the working class at
the heart of her politics. She has bought and sold a corporate stooge through and through
what is perhaps the worst element of the modern democratic party. Okay. She's goddamn sellout.
So she can, uh, base booster her Yokel shtick till the cows come home. Okay. But at the
The end of the day, she is a puppet, puppeteered by corporate donations.
That's number one.
Number two.
Haley Stevens has a much tougher shot at defeating Mike Rogers.
Do I believe in my heart of hearts that Haley Stevens could probably also defeat Mike Rogers?
Yes, I do. But the margins of victory for Abdu'l-al-Sayed will be far greater than Hailey Stevens.
Because Abdu'l-al-Sayed has the fundamentals. He has the on-the-ground enthusiasm.
And there is already plenty of evidence to suggest this.
That's why these pivotal endorsements are coming in at the last second.
from people who said they would not even endorse against any of the candidacies.
The reason why they're doing that is not because Abdul is likely to lose.
The reason why they're doing that is because they're terrified of Abdul winning, okay?
They're terrified of having a strong advocate for the working class in the Senate.
That's it. There's no other reason.
Same with Zoran Mamdani. They were not fearful of Zoran Mamdani's inevitable defeat
or his inevitable failure if he won the mayoral race and became a bad governor or a bad mayor
who would then reflect poorly on the National Democratic Party. It was actually because
he would be great. He would be successful as he has been so far, and it would reflect poorly
on the National Democratic Party from the eyes of the base that would demand more.
That would ask the question, why can't you be like Zoran? Why can't you fight for us?
Why can't you accomplish your clear cut easily defined agenda piece by piece?
That is what they oppose. Okay, that's it.
That's it.
There's no great argument for why one must vote for Hailey Stevens.
She is an unremarkable candidate, a corporate stooge, through and through, not very charismatic,
doesn't have anything redeemable to her. Which is precisely the reason why her candidacy has
revolved around attacking Abdel El Sayed. And we know that the on-the-ground enthusiasm is very
real. Why do we know that? These Abdel El Sayed has been showcasing internal polls that show him
up sometimes 14% above Hailey Stevens. Hailey Stevens, on the other hand, has not sent any
internal polls. Do you think that the Stevens camp is not conducting internal polls? Of
course they are. So why have they refused to reveal the results? Perhaps it's because
they know that the internal polls look alarming, that their internal polls that are supposed
to be the most positive numbers that Haley Stevens will ever see are actually disastrous
for her where she's underwater. And that's precisely the reason why she's getting these
key endorsements to try to carry some weight. Jim Clyburn, Gary Peters, the outbound senator
leaving the seat. And last but not least, Gretchen Whitmer, who is an objectively decently
popular governor, nowhere near as popular as she once was, especially as of late.
One of those people is Farmington School Board Member Angie Smith.
This is what she had to say. Yeah, so we're here with Angie Smith.
and you're from Farmington.
Hi, I'm G. Stratham from Farmington Public Schools.
Top work getter from Farmington Public School Board
and on the 41 years.
I am supporting Hailey Stevens because she's that candidate.
We need someone that can represent all of us.
Not just one race, but all races.
Hailey has done great work in Farmington, in in Farmington Hills.
She knows what she's doing.
And any time you could go to a democratic convention and be booed and walk from behind a podium
and stand up while you're being booed and things thrown at you, that's our person.
So let's go August 4th for Haiti's Day. Thank you.
Thank you. When you say, you know, not just for one, what do you mean by that?
Well, the other candidate seems to be for, it doesn't work a room.
You have to know how to work the road. Don't come out speaking only Arabic. Don't come out with your Arabic music on. Represent everyone.
Boomers man. Fuckin' boomers.
I swear to God, I try to stay away from generational politics because I think it's reactionary, but...
Every day. Every damn day.
Every damn day black white Hispanic doesn't matter if it's a boomer they're booming. Okay
Every damn motherfucking day of the week boomers got a boom baby. That's it. It's gotta be the lead poisoning or something
Again, this is like in insane. This is obviously insanely racist
Okay
Like saying that Abdul represents Arabs with their Arab music. I mean, this is you know
Hearing it from
Someone in Democratic Party politics in the state is extra gross considering that the school board that she sits on
most likely has a decent percentage of Muslim students as well and
One of the things that I always have to remind people one of the things that I always have to remind people is
is that this is not like anti-Arab, anti-Muslim, Islamophobic sentiment in the black community
is not a real thing, okay? These are establishment boomers that are trying to defend their entrenched
power with incredibly racist politics, but it's far from commonplace.
I will always repeat myself, but one third of black people in the state of Michigan are
Muslim themselves. Okay? One third of African Americans in the state of Michigan are Muslim.
Okay? So that's number one. Number two, there are a shit ton of Muslims and Arabs that live
alongside the black population in the state as well. And last but not least, number three,
Paul after poll after poll has consistently shown that black voters that the demographic of black folk in the United States of America are the most woke in comparison to every other racial demographic.
What's really frustrating about this is that you have boomers and entrenched power that are representing some of the most odious aspects of American politics, some of the most toxic versions of American politics, racism, xenophobia, sometimes white nativist sentiment, ironically enough.
And what's frustrating about it is that the voters themselves do not reflect these realities.
And yet, the representatives will say, no, this is how we, as black folk, feel.
It's bullshit.
No group of individuals are monolithic, but if you were to look at the black voting block
or black people who are polled consistently in this country, they are far more quote
unquote woke, far more liberal, far more open-minded, far more progressive than every other demographic
in this country, okay?
That's it.
Saying that, Paprax says that Northwest Detroit has been flooded by mailers showing former
President Obama and Stevens.
A lot of people are not aware.
She says Stevens' support of Israel is wrong.
As a black woman from an oppressed people in the United States, I can't stand behind that your peers are gonna vote for Haley
Is that what you're hearing from your peers?
However, our community and most of the children have been flooded with flighters, every day I get one in my house, and show pictures of girls, black people, her at the churches.
I said, where was she all this other time? We never saw her. And what she did ten years ago, what did she do?
This is far closer to the common sentiment of black Americans than anything establishment
Democrats say.
It's nasty business, it's just the truth, APAC has almost completely captured the Congressional
Blackcock is not in its entirety, of course, but a lot of the older, a lot of the older
members that want to hold on to their seat of power desperately rely on unlimited donations
from APAC and other subsidiaries.
And that's part of the reason why they have a attitude that is directly opposite to their
base of support.
Now it still doesn't matter because as far as a reliable voting block goes, the reality
of the matter is there's of course a lot of established credibility and trust that comes
with this entrenched power.
That's why Jim Clyburn, Jim Clyburn doesn't have the capacity to do hypnosis to his base
of support.
He is just a popular figure because he is well liked and he's trusted.
for years and years of sitting in his throne of power in South Carolina, he's been able
to fund a lot of initiatives from HBCUs to church groups. And therefore he has a phenomenal
relationship with a lot of black leadership all around the country. Okay? That's it. Jim
Clyburn is who I'm talking about right now, the kingmaker of the Democratic party in some
respects who also endorsed Haley Stevens. But to assume, but to assume that Jim
Claveron speaks for all black Americans would be wrong.
He's also 86 years old.
Why has the establishment been so late to consolidate around these candidates?
These endorsements could have been much more helpful immediately after McMorah dropped out.
Abdel and Hong has really confused me with what they're doing.
I think I don't know what their calculation is. I can't know what's in their heart.
I have no idea. But I suspect they want, they know that, they know that leaning in
in to a particular candidate is possibly burning a lot of credibility. Many of them already
burned a decent amount with Andrew Cuomo, which Jim Clyburn endorsed over Zoramum Downey,
if you recall. Now, a lot of people don't remember that, luckily for Jim Clyburn. But
part of the reason why establishment candidates don't consolidate around certain candidates,
establishment operatives is because they don't want to burn their credibility. Because if
Abdull wins in the primary, all of a sudden, that says something about how much social
and political capital Gresham Whitmer has, how much social and political capital Jim
Clyburn has. This has, this, this changes the calculation for 2028. If you no longer
have the same influential capabilities, then you won't get the same level of financial
aid. You won't get the same amount of money. People start reconsidering how much power
you truly have.
South Carolina, then party chair to Shane Goldmacher. If Nevada gets elevated over South
Carolina, it would be because of their Latino votes. So you would then be telling black
voters, you matter less than brown voters. And I refuse to believe that our party wants
send any type of message like that. I mean, this stuff sucks. It's so stupid. This is about the whole
fight that took place where South Carolina is going to be the first primary. I don't necessarily
think it's a bad thing. By the way, I have some controversial opinions on that, but
we'll get to that in a second. This party is so chock full of disingenuous insiders who weaponize
the most toxic and phony identity wedges to meet out political factional posturing. The reason
reason Nevada should go before South Carolina is because it's actually in play in the general
why South Carolina should never feature as some major primary. Everyone's just afraid
to say it honestly because Claiborne will exert himself to put his own grip on the
party above the country's best interest and nobody wants to be on the record saying something
honest when they might have to pretend South Carolina should be a hugely decisive state.
Yeah, there are plenty of states that have even more black voters in South Carolina
Georgia is another one, for example. Why is Georgia not going first? Georgia is a fairly...
Georgia is far more important for Democratic Party politics in South Carolina. This isn't to say we
should let go of South Carolina, okay? Like we should not give up on the South. I'm not ever
going to make that argument. It's actually one of the main criticisms that I have for the Democratic
party, ironically enough, the South is very black for the Democratic Party's base of support,
very black in the South. And that's part of the reason why it's often overlooked.
South Carolina is also overlooked, except for the fact that Jim Clyburn gets a lot of money
as he plays a pivotal role in the establishment that defends entrenched power.
And that's why he gets decent amounts of resources, but then he distributes those resources to his machine, right?
It turns into a little fiefdom for Jim Clyburn. That's just how he is operated and
most people don't want to say it out loud because they'll get yelled at because the same
uh, the the same
Like, toxic politics plays itself out again, the identity, the shallow identity politics
of like, oh, you're attacking Jim Clyburn, which means you hate black people. Jim Clyburn
is not the singular figure that is representative of all black people, far from it as a matter
of fact. That's why I keep repeatedly saying black people are not conservative by and large,
Okay. They are the most progressive demographic of voters. They're the most progressive people
in the country. Okay. Not only as a voting block, but also as a, as an entire demographic,
there are a shit ton of polls to show the exact opposite.
Black people consistently rate socialism with higher favorability than all other racial
groups in the country, same with progressive values, same with economic populist agenda
items. It's ridiculous. This is a major generational divide. The generational divide that ends
up benefiting entrenched power in the party, so they just keep brow-beating people over
the head and claiming cynically that you're racist if you oppose an 86-year-old man, being
the kingmaker of the Democratic Party.
This was something that I saw from Jim Clyburn that I could not believe.
Here it is.
For the record, I want to make sure that people understand.
This isn't a carte blanche approach to shitting on black political power in this country
and to start sounding off on Jim Clyburn and all this other shit, because that only forces
black political power to close up their ranks, because they've heard this a million times
over from not only the Republicans and the racist reactionaries, but racist Democrats
too.
So, it's unfortunately too somber of a reminder for a lot of black political operatives to
hear this kind of criticism from a guy that looks like me, especially now that I shave
and look objectively less Muslim, okay?
You take from the Biden administration, like political political lessons, like was there
any political lesson you think there is to take from an administration whose central
goal was to stop Donald Trump's return and here we are.
And he stopped it.
I mean, you stopped it in an able.
I think some of the argument well, when the white vote turned out 71% two years ago and
black vote turned out 59%. You tell me who's fault that is. I guess I 59% of African Americans
went to the polls two years ago. It's tough for me personally to blame black voters for the last
election more than it is to blame President Joe Biden. That's the fact. It wasn't Joe Biden on the
the ticket, it was Kamala Harris on the ticket.
For 107 days after he decided to.
The thing that also annoys me is the racism.
I'll say this as well.
The racism coming from white establishment Democrats that will then say, oh, this is
the sage wisdom of an ancient black man. How dare you criticize him? Like he's just a fucking
boomer, man. That's it. He's old. He's old and out of touch. He's 86 years old. It is
not, there is no sage wisdom here. Okay. Shut the fuck up. I hate that like near a tandem
and so many white Democrat consultants, white Democratic party consultants that are also
Uh, just as invested in defending in trench power as Jim Clyburn is, we'll then turn around
and say like, no, this is the sage wisdom.
Your race is for saying that just so you understand.
Okay.
It's this weird, like other rising of, of black people when they agree with your position,
I guess, when you're like, no, you don't understand.
He knows better than everybody else.
You're other rising.
You're being cynical.
You're being fucking racist.
It's ridiculous dude, this take is ridiculous.
It's the voters that are at fault.
What a ridiculous statement, but fuck do you mean it's the voters that are at fault?
This is inherently anti-democracy, okay?
There is a democratic process, which means you have to fight like hell to win voters
over, okay?
That means your agenda sucked.
We have to go back to the drawing board.
It's so totally ridiculous that Kamala Harris failed to activate the base, the black voting
block that is the most reliable voter block for the Democrats. As a black woman, we have
to look back at what failed. We can't just sit there and be like, oh, you just didn't
vote hard enough. Fuck you. That's crazy. That's crazy. The fuck do you mean is the
black voters that are at fault. What are you talking about, man?
On the ticket.
I guess I just wanted to see it's so funny. Is that laughs in
his fucking face, by the way?
I have on the ticket.
For 107 days after it was on the ticket.
I guess I just wanted to see if there was a clear political
lesson you took from that moment and whether there think you think something
applies in this kind of you say nope no lessons to be learned of larger
democratic rethink after but I hear you you're saying that you think it was it
was a media problem it was a branding problem it was a candidate problem I
didn't say that the media had nothing to do with that 59% if that 59% had been
69% she would have won I guess so is the argument that black people let Kamala
Harris down? Oh, I think in many instances, absolutely. If you
don't show up to vote, what are you doing? Is there no valid
reason why black voters could not have felt heard by the last
democratic election? Is there no valid reason that they might be?
I like to know what it is. No, you don't. No, you don't. As a
matter of fact, you definitely don't. That's why you're saying
is is black people at fault for Kamala Harris losing
Adam Johnson's there's no other sales job and make no mistake campaigning in politics
is sales where you get to consistently fail at winning people over and you get to blame
them for not buying your wares.
Voter scolding has 0% success rate, but it's all the calcified establishment has always
Kamala Harris was like a cop. What? Pop prison pipeline lady. I can see that being an issue. No.
No. No, that wasn't the, the 107 days is valid. The other problem is people are disillusioned.
They don't want to vote for either party. There's a generational divide taking place in the black
voting population right now that many of the older establishment figures are oblivious to.
I've been literally calling this out for the last two cycles now, okay? There is a big generational
gap. The black voters who can remember or are at least like one generation removed from the last
time Democrats expended social and political capital to ensure that they have the right
to vote, will then go and reliably vote for the Democrats. Younger black voters on the
other hand do not recall such an experience. All they have known is nothing. Okay. All
they have known is harm reduction. All they've known is nothing at all. So for them, for
the younger voters, there's no reason to go out and fucking vote because they're like,
oh, what am I supposed to do? Okay. One side is like openly racist. The other side is
not as racist, but like it doesn't, you know, I still got to go to work every morning.
That's it. Because democracy comes down to this fundamental principle. What will you
do for me? Or what have you done for me lately? And if the answer is nada, if the answer is
nothing, if the answer is just, oh, well, we won power, and therefore, Republicans didn't
get the shit on your life even further. Sure, in the end point of that four-year experience
of living under a racist white supremacist Trump administration, there will be more people
that will be excited to go out and vote. But that's not enough for coalition building.
That's not enough to win elections, especially if the opposing side is capable of drawing
turnout from an increasingly agitated base.
Yeah, he said, this is absolutely crazy, exonerate the political class in media and blame black
people for Harris losing.
I think he's also severely overestimating the political appetite for this lesson as a
stick.
There are massive generational and class breaks within the broader black electorate, and this
reheated lecture isn't winning people over who don't feel like they have any buy-in.
Yeah, this was also, there was another thing, it was the Obama method, Obama even did this,
which was crazy.
Obama did this too, when he was like, oh, I guess a lot of black men are just misogynistic.
Which is, you know, what a crazy fucking thing to say.
What a crazy thing to say, just fucking using and abusing a voter block is nothing but a
reliable vote with no expectations of delivery whatsoever.
And also, greatly overemphasizing the idea that like black voters are leaving the Democratic
Party and like voting for the Republicans when that's not even true out of all of the,
you look at the racial breakdown, once again, black people still overwhelmingly vote for
the Democratic Party. Look at fucking white people. Why are we otherizing and singling
out black people in this country when we talk about like misogyny, homophobia, shit like
that? That stuff pisses me off to no end. There's never a, there's never a calculus
about the toxic politics of whiteness in the same degree by liberals, especially.
Like, we understand that whiteness is the default. So we can look at some white people as being
right-wing and reactionary, and other white people as not being in that same category.
But when it comes to black people, it's all because it's a minority population. It's all,
They're all the same. Okay. They're all the same. They're all yeah homophobic homophobic is a black person person problem
Nobody says homophobic is a white people problem, you know
And it would be ridiculous we we broke it down like that anyway
Yeah, he worked with the Republicans how James Clyburn
Protects his district at a cost of black Democrats
I know. He's just very selfish man. I'm sorry. It's just that's it. He's very very selfish.
As the rest of these fucking boomers man, that's it. That's it. He is a goddamn boomer. What do
you want? He's 86 years old. And before people say Bernie Sanders is a boomer too. I agree.
Bernie is also a boomer, except Bernie has been trying to build an actual fucking movement
that is trying to unseat entrenched power. Jim Clyburn is using his last years on God's green
earth to basically solidify his position to never offer anything to the voters.
Yeah, Democrats love to trot out mummies like Clyburn because it allows them to cloak themselves
in the moral authority of the civil rights movement on behalf of Israel and insurance
companies. But another huge benefit is they can turn the racism dial all the way up. Yeah,
this person, I guess, deleted their fucking take because it was insane. Okay.
This lady literally was like saying, don't you feel like Abdul is kind of like a rapist
ex-boyfriend?
It's like, no, I actually don't feel that way.
You just have a new permission structure, I guess, by claiming that this scary Muslim
man is like a rapist woman-hater.
Can you imagine if a Republican leader had worked with Dems to gerrymander against more
Republican seats, it's legitimately impossible to imagine. Yeah.
All of the elaborate debates about whether Democrats should adopt 5D chess, ultra-pragmatic
heterodox social conservatism or electorate transforming socialist leadershipism will
always be hilarious when this is actually who runs the party. Back in the 1800s, both
these sides would have considered themselves a part of the larger reform block and one.
But now the so-called pragmatists think that they and only the people they see on their
phone are the only ones who exist, so that they just whine and go on as we're climb
and lose.
Yeah.
Yeah, this is what blue maga was doing.
Is it just me or is Abdullasahed like an abusive boyfriend who gets far more unpredictable
and dangerous when he realized you might be leaving him?
If he wins, I have a feeling that there would be some skeletons revealed.
As for now, it's clear that Abdullasahed is just not a fan of treating women with respect,
is a major reason why he needs to lose Kamala was an intelligence experienced professional
black woman but she was average as fuck the hardest thing is getting some older black
aunties and unks to accept that we cannot settle for average with any politician and
especially not one that supported a genocide is frustrating for them that subpar average
white man can win but not a qualified black woman but it's not the relevant issue in
Ham, Kamala is the genocide. I mean, it's the genocide, but it's also the lack of charisma
as well, the lack of like, the lack of change. Like Kamala Harris anchored herself around
a dying candidate, like literally a dying campaign, the Joe Biden reelection campaign
that died. And she was supposed to be the replacement. And instead of charting a different
path forward, she leaned into it, which was fucking ridiculous. If you're going to be
the young, vibrant, black American alternative to Joe Biden, you have to show that, okay?
You have to show that if you run around and say, no, I'm just like the fucking old guy
who you guys opposed so much that I, in this totally unique set of circumstances, became
the actual presidential nominee, you can't anchor yourself with that dead weight around
your neck, and then expect to win. It's funny to complain about mediocre white men and have
the entire Democratic establishment go to war for Biden's nomination, the definition of
a mediocre white man. I agree, but that mediocre white man won, okay?
Here's another example of an accomplished white woman, Hillary Rodham Clinton. She had
The pedigree, she had the endorsements, she had the media backing.
She was the reasonable candidate, as opposed to the mania represented by Donald Trump.
If you simply look at that, don't say Barf, it's just on paper, who do you think would
be a better president on paper, guys?
Hillary Rodham fucking Clinton, who was the secretary of state, or Donald Trump, who was
a rapist real estate developer.
What are we talking about?
And of course, on paper, if you look at the fucking resumes of Donald Trump and Hillary
Clinton, yes, Hillary Clinton was clearly the better option.
But people don't make those decisions in the same way that the establishment Democrats
want them to, okay?
Same goes for Kamala Harris.
Kamala Harris was a far more accomplished stateswoman, okay?
She had the background.
She had the prosecutorial background.
She had a brief stint in the Senate.
It doesn't really count too much.
She was vice president, right?
She was accomplished, but it doesn't matter.
Being accomplished is not going to carry you across the finish line.
When you call her young, you insult the actual young Harris of 61. Yes, that is young, unfortunately
for modern American politics, modern American politicians. She didn't have a good policy
platform. She didn't have a lot of charisma. And she was all over the place. That's partially
because she is a little bit of a chameleon. She ran in 2019 as like another Bernie Kratts
style candidate that none of the Bernie Kratz actually believed in because it was fake.
Exactly on paper, Kamala's far superior to Trump and many other candidates, but she was
averaging every other way, so it wasn't an oven, especially when you tack on the way
to being pro-genocide.
That was my whole point, yeah.
And then she pivoted to the right as well, which was a disaster because why would you
go for the diet soda when you can get the full-strength soda from the Republicans.
Adam Johnson responds to Jeb Fain, House Majority, former Dem Spokesperson, the CCC, classic
establishment Democrat.
This is a satirical post. This is about the, the, the, uh, Abdul al-Sayed fake, uh, post
Abdul al-Sayed handshake, Mike Rogers, Florida, Republican Mike Rogers endorses Abdul for
Senate. She made like a fake campaign poster using the Abdul font, doping voters into believing
that the Republican opposition had endorsed Abdul al-Sayed, made blue and said, AES Abdul
al-Sayed should file a cease and desist or something. Ripping off the campaign bra branding
is problematic and misleading.
Jeff Fink said it's a satirical post mocking outside because Mike Rogers told his own donors
that he'd rather who he'd rather run against. All the dramatic freakouts these leftists
have over normal campaign tactics. It's almost like they never experienced a competitive
general election before. Just going to keep harping on this, but this is factually false.
Rogers never told his donors. He'd rather run against outside. He was specifically asked
about a strategy against outside and projected confidence he would win, which is what one
does when talking with donors, not knowing how he handicapped the race against Stevens.
This out of context quote is utterly meaningless. This is an outright lie. A false it at no
point. Any of the, in any of the donor call clips, does he express a preference for either
candidate whatsoever? Jeff Fain then responds with, sure, man, keep pretending as some mystery
who Republicans would rather run against. If you spent any of the last decade in reality,
obviously the far left Bernie bro, who's on record backing defund the police and campaigns
of the America deserve 911 podcast there, right? So this is just an assertion, not evidence
to make claims. One needs evidence. I'll say it has 10,000 plus highly motivated volunteers.
Stevens has hundreds and is propped up by 30 million in a pack money that will disappear.
The second she wins the nom, I'd much rather run against the latter finding different ways
to throw out scary Muslim terrorists, the fund terrorists, the fund has some pikers,
not an argument and is not evidence. I'm sure Roger C strengths and weaknesses in both candidates
and most important of all, he has given zero indication he'd, uh, who he'd prefer.
I can't believe these guys still are repeating the whole like, Oh dude, it's going to be
really bad that Abdul ran with a Sompiker. People in Michigan do not know who the fuck
I am. Okay. Or the ones that do know who the fuck I am already door knocking for Abdul's
campaign, you know, some of which are in that 10,000 doorknockers of volunteer army that he has.
Okay? If the Democratic position in the general is, we want to give you healthcare,
we want to end the endless militarism, we want to give you housing, and the Republican position is,
this guy fucking hung out with American podcaster Hassan Piker, the Republicans
are coming in, diving headfirst into a losing argument. You know who did that back in the day?
The fucking Democrats did. Oh my god, you're going on the Joe Rogan experience. Oh my god,
don't you know Joe Rogan is a scary podcast there? And you know what happened? You know what happened
in the aftermath of that? Republicans won! And Joe Rogan became more popular than ever before. So shut
the fuck up the Democrats have trotted this idiotic narrative out every single
time they've been like oh dude fucking is all on mom Donnie loves 9 11 and loves
the podcaster that loves 9 11 it didn't fucking work time and time again this has
been trotted out over and over again deployed over and over again it's been a
a failed message. Why is it a failed message? Simple. Because number one, most Americans
don't know who the fuck I am. Okay? They don't know. Why would they know? Why should they
know? I'm a Twitch streamer. Okay? And the ones that do either hate me or love me a lot
more who love me than hate me. Okay. Now, after the, the, you know, unlimited barrage
of attack ads from Fox news, that number might change because, you know, there's a lot of
Republicans who despise me for sure. But those guys weren't voting for Abdul anyway. Okay.
The other thing is I am utterly immaterial in the grand scheme of things. Politics are
about what you can do for your voters, what you can do for your constituents.
Okay, it is incredibly fucking stupid to try to turn the political rat race into anything but that,
to try to turn that into this silly ass like, which podcast did he appear with? Which guy did he
campaign with? Do you disavow the comments? Do you disavow the comments of this guy who endorsed you?
This game does not need to be played. You know who doesn't play this game Donald Trump. That's why he's partially very successful
So if Democrats actually go, oh my god, we're so sorry we hung out with us on piker
How dare how dare we do such a disastrous thing then yeah, you'll allow Republicans to win
But if you say what the fuck are you talking about this guy's a goddamn twitch streamer is a big army of fucking
uh... door knockers
yeah i'm gonna go on his platform i'm gonna try to win over the did this
illusion voters
that are worried about the future of america because they're american citizens
and they're my constituents too
i'm talking to everybody i'm talking to republicans as well
as long as you say that and you stand by your positions and try to
reframe the conversation back to medicare for all
you're good
your opposition will automatically looks silly
We're constantly trying to frame the conversation around minutia, whether it be transgender
athletes, whether it be something even dumber than, you know, trying to position people
against transgender athletes, which would be a fucking Twitch streamer, right?
Anyway, here's, uh, here's Mattie Glacius, egg boy on podjohns, complaining that moderate
Democrats don't have any enthusiasm on their side and won't actually, and don't do enough
to generate enthusiasm for their moderate candidates and their moderate policies.
There's a group of moderate Democrats, but they need to give some voice to like, what
do we think? Who are we? Why are we the good people? And I give incredible credit to Bernie
Sanders who has been tireless about trying to promote politicians who he likes. And I
And I hear so many other Democrats and they're mad that Bernie is promoting these people
and that the people who they like aren't getting promoted.
But it's like, well, who's going to promote them other than you?
Yeah, that's what actually bothers me a lot is that they look at the insurgent candidates
on the left and sort of the progressive outsiders with umbrage.
That's like the main feeling of like, how dare you and my candidate works really hard
and has been just do, you know, this is sort of like the Haley Steven stuff has gotten better,
I think the argument that people are making for her. But originally it was like, well,
she's been there just working hard and and give her credit for being there and working hard.
And it's like, okay, I'm sure that's true if you know her, but like voters don't know that. And
so they're going to need a different kind of story there. Well, and also I know so many
Democrats who want her to win this primary, but who don't want to fly to Michigan and campaign
with her, because it'll be embarrassing if they stand with her and she loses, but it'll
be embarrassing to Bernie if Abdul loses.
And like he doesn't, he has the, you know, he's doing the work, right?
And there's no, there's no alternative to that in politics.
And that's like part of my message to the more moderate Democrats out there is like,
just give up hope, but also don't just assume that we can keep endlessly staving off the
laugh. Yeah, he's stuck between party borders now. Stuck between borders, Norway and India,
but also stuck between party border, stuck between ideological border. This is his life,
At least he got to meet Erling Holland. That was cool. That was cool. When he met Erling
Holland, I was like, good on him, you know?
Then, you know, pulling more rabbits out of the hat, like somebody's got to run a campaign.
Somebody's got to make the case. You've got to actually like articulate some daring positions
on the issues. And if people yell at you, you have to explain why they're wrong. And
like, you got to go on crooked and you probably got to go on Hasan Piker and, you know, do
some interviews with people who don't agree with you and stand your ground. And that's
because that's how it's always been. You know, there's no there's no like magic trick.
Like,
It's so funny because he's just straight up describing campaigning. Like the the attitude
from establishment Democrats is, no, of course I have to be in this position. What the fuck
are you talking about? This was ordained to me by God. This position was given to me by God.
Are you out of your dang mind? How dare you oppose my power? This is my fucking thief, them.
And that's not how politics works, man. We don't live in that kind of universe. Maybe you want to
live in that kind of universe, but that's not the universe we live in. You know,
Now we still have some semblance of theoretical democracy here, and therefore you just have
to do shit that you don't want to do, you have to present your ideas, you have to defend
those ideas, and you have to win.
It's just so fucking annoying.
Let's not forget what Maddie thinks her toxic views of the left.
Yeah, I know, false leftist like Planner and Ablo said her list woke the mission dems
and have no electability penalty, true. The most toxic views, affirmative action, deference
to teachers' unions, gender weirdness are shared by a stupider on the left, so electability
gap is modest. Dude, Matty Glacius is so crazy, because he just says the most toxic views
are affirmative action and deference to teachers' unions. Teachers' unions are literally some
of the most popular institutions in this fucking country. What the fuck are you talking about,
Like, gender weirdness gets into a territory where you're in the wrong, but at least you
can make an argument that it's like politically toxic nowadays, partially because Democrats
just never really defended it, partially because Democrats don't have like a platform that
people want to join for certain things that they might get.
And therefore the only platform that they hear about is oppositional framing on gender
related issues, right?
And the opposition frames you as like silly and hyper focus or invested in the genitals
of transgender people that you want to give everybody a bottom surgery or something like
it sucks.
But that is what has dominated discourse in this country.
And that's partially once again, the fault of the Democrats, okay?
It is kind of wild that he's openly saying a reactionary he is though.
Even the centrists are like, what's your evidence for teachers unions being politically toxic?
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, this was also crazy.
He posted this like strike on Carg Island.

Donald Trump did, which we'll be getting to in a second with their situation monitoring.
But here, let's watch the Michigan Civil War.
Honestly, don't know right now.
Do you think it's hypocritical to support defundized but nonpolice?
Great question.
No.
I mean, if you were to ask me, I'm in favor of taking away resources from police departments
that have inflated budgets and one, forcing accountability upon the police departments
and two, making them actually do the work of solving crimes and things of that nature.
But the reason why I don't think it's hypocritical to support the abolition of ICE and not the
abolition of police, for example, is because policing as an institution has existed in
one way, shape, or form for far longer than ICE has.
has been around for 23 years. It's a paperwork violation for the most part.
Policing as an institution can at the very least be pointed to dealing with very emotional cases,
like very violent cases like rape, pedophilia and the like. Whereas with ICE, they try to
masquerade this as a law enforcement agency that is tasked with dealing with pedophiles.
but the reality of the matter is, one, it's 23 years old at this point, or not 23 years old, sorry,
20, 2000, yeah, 23 years old at this point, and two, the previous formation of ICE was INS,
which once again, for the most part, like it's, it's a, it's law enforcement mechanism is about
paperwork violations, right? Also, policing as an institution is like unfathomably popular,
are, unfortunately, amongst Americans.
And that's a whole different story to get into.
But yeah.
But that's the reason.
Those are some of the reasons why I don't think it's hypocritical.
a packed church basement on a steamy summer evening.
All right, friends, money out of!
All right!
The insurgent keeps...
Also, if you're asking me, like, about defunding the police,
I'm in favor of it, so I don't know why, you know, I've...
I've been a long advocate for, uh, you know,
I don't say defund the police, even though I defended it, uh,
and we should have explained it better instead of attacking it immediately,
which many people did.
said, and I think if there was plenty of defense of what defunding the police was at the time,
then people would have a very different approach to it.
And I am in favor of taking away some of these exhaustive resources that we've given. We
should demilitarize the American police departments 100 percent. And not only that, but we should
also use some of those resources to tackle crime at the root cause of the issue, which
which is, once again, socioeconomic factors, right?
It's unfortunately a lost cause at this point, at least for the time being, because Americans
were so unbelievably polarized against this because many business owners freaked the
fuck out.
The Democratic Party and its entirety freaked the fuck out on the movement, and they positioned
themselves in this like very reactionary place from the start against defund the police.
And that's part of the reason why it's an objectively unpopular slogan now, even if
it actually makes sense when you explain it to people.
And the greatest evidence I can give you is Zoram Omdani saying he's going to keep the
police the same headcount, and he's going to try to figure out a way to cut down on
over time and focus on building some of the city resources, which again, that is what
Defund the police was, right?
So that's what defunding is.
Most people don't understand that.
The problem is, while most people find it to be an agreeable position, if you explain
to them. That's not how this discourse works. If every outlet is saying, oh, you want to fucking kill
cops, you want to throw cops in prison, you want to abolish the policing, you want rapists to roam
the streets freely, which they currently do, ironically enough, with the current funded police
departments. That becomes a lost cause, a lost argument, unfortunately, especially when it's
channeled by even Democrats, right? Even supposed allies. What I will say about this,
what I will say about this is that I'm in favor of making policing work for the people rather than
protect and serve the interests of capital, because I also understand fundamentally,
as many like police abolitionists do as well, even the most rugged anarchists will tell you that
there has to be something that takes the place of policing, even if it's like a democratically
organized system. So, you know, I always say, I just want them to do their fucking jobs because
cops don't do their jobs at all. It's very frustrating to me. They basically live in Nordic style
social democracy in the United States of America and their ex-herbs. They drive around in their
They're fucking lifted F-150 pickup trucks. They come into the cities and brutalized teenagers
That is when they're even have fucked off to do their jobs at all if they're asked enough to do their jobs
For the most part they don't do shit. They collect paycheck overtime pay hazard pay and the like they have unfathomably strong unions
It's it sucks. It's genuinely one of the I guess cushiest jobs you could have
You're this like unaccountable mass assaulter who doesn't ever have to do anything.
And I believe that the role of policing in the modern world is a very important one.
Okay?
A very, very important one.
Protecting the presence of law and order with your presence, even if their current presence
is lawlessness and disorder, unfortunately.
And also, refusing to do your fucking job, like your very important job of solving crimes.
That's what my anger and resentment stems from, about modern policing and policing in
general.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I can't wait for Egypt.
Zaron also froze budget increases, which is technically a defunding as well,
Well since the budget has to grow to meet raised inflation etc. but not increasing budgets
you're technically defunding, yes.

Thank you.

Walter Robinson, Jr. lives in neighboring
Dearborn Heights. Its population, 40% Arab.
Affordability is by far Robinson's top issue.
He is voting El Sayed because he's a union guy,
and he trusts the United Auto Workers endorsement process.
There's a lot of people that feel like that the union
shouldn't tell them what to do or how to vote.
But like I said, connecting the ballot box to your bread box
is vitally important.
Robinson doesn't agree with Alcide on everything, but he compares his constant attacks on the
Democratic establishment to Donald Trump's insurgent takeover of the GOP a decade ago.
You have to do something different, and this might just be enough just to shake things
up.
It's your favorite spot you've visited in Michigan so far.
Jade Gray is 22 just a year out of college, but she's worked as a Democratic organizer
for five years and helped her first campaign at age 12 in 2016.
I think we're seeing two paths emerge for the Democratic Party, and this is going to
be one of a few examples of where we're really headed.
Gray is from northern Michigan, Trump country.
She predicts El Sayed will do well in the primary there.
We are seeing the most engagement from Democrats
than we've ever seen before in that area.
Maybe this progressive mindset is Medicare for all,
money out of politics isn't so radical
and could work for us.
Gray takes El Sayed's side of the Israel divide.
One is an APEC backed candidate who is unapologetically pro
thank you israel and you know
very critical of netanyahu
john
what the fuck
brother give me a fucking break dude
oh my god dude oh my god brother what the fuck
dude this feedback is unbelievable it's like well you know
You know Hailey Stevens hates Benjamin and Yahu, I mean, go on.
Are you there to, to pull the people? Are you there to, to stump for Hailey Stevens?
Dog, she got $34 million from APEC. It doesn't matter what she's saying about Benjamin and Yahu.
What the fuck are you talking about? It's fake. It's fake. It's fake.
Can we weigh things evenly? What do you think matters more with her decision-making when it comes to Israel?
$34 million from the Israel lobby or what she once said about Benjamin Netanyahu when she's also said this?
Israel comes to me in my dreams!
It's so fucking stupid.
She's critical of Nanyahu, I appreciate that, but who she's funded by, I don't think walks
that walk.
I like seeing a candidate who's unapologetically anti-Zionist.
Let's go.
We got it, Gellan.
Rob Lippitt is more than patient with a pickleball novice, and he is more than anxious about
this primary.
Oh, here we go.
Here we go.

Dude John King Znn. Oh my fucking lordy lord
Bro went to the pickleball court in this dude's backyard to talk about how fucking anxious this guy is
That scary musliman could potentially win the election
Will will he push back on mr. Pickle
Will you push back on Mr. Pickle? I want to hear, I want to hear if, if, if John King has a, has a similar approach to this, to affirm the idea that Israel has a right to exist as a state doesn't move us closer to peace.
the piece.
Lipitz, he's al-sayed, is part of a broader, troubling-
Wait, John!
Johnny, baby!
Why didn't you fucking be like, well, you know, Abdul al-sayed has talked almost entirely
about APEC funding.
Does that not concern you?
Really?
No response.
No response to Mr. Pickle.
No pushback to Mr. Pickle.
Why is Mr. Pickle getting zero pushback?
Hmm
Yeah, two UAW opto supporters and a millionaire Stephen supporter hmm
Democratic shift the socialist drift of the party and the hard line and
Somewhat radical positions that they take are not good for the state or good for the country
He loads Trump and wants a Democratic Senate
But lipid says he and many other Jewish voters will face a painful choice if al-sayed wins the prime. Oh, shut the fuck up, dude
This is oh
God, I hate this shit so much, dude. I hate it so much
It's not a fucking painful choice at all man you either hate fascism and you hate it unconditionally
Or you care about
Fascism in the country only to a certain degree as long as it still allows fascism to take place in Israel
Okay
That's it
Right, I think there are a lot of people that won't vote for else. I add are you one of them?
Probably I don't feel like that. Why is this never? Why is this shit never treated like Bernard supporters by the way? Oh
Oh, you say you don't want to vote for blue, no matter who. How come, how come if you're
pro-Israel, you get to be as critical as you want of the Democratic Party's choice.
If your guy or your gal, your Israel fester, doesn't get the fucking nominee, you're not
going to vote for Abdul Al Sayyed. You're going to allow Republican fascism to take
shape in this country. How is this, why is it that this is always just the Bernard brothers
that whose votes are taken for fucking granted. But when it comes to people who actually destroy
the vote blue, no matter who I'm gonna withhold my vote, I'm gonna withhold my support in the
general. If the scary Muslim wins is not treated with the same like racism is not treated with
the same critical lens that this is like unbelievably fucking racist. Yeah, it's quit. It's crazy how
quickly the center killed vote blue no matter who as soon as they started losing
primaries yeah it's gone
it's gone now it's over

What do you want from the Democratic Party?
What's missing?
Oh.
That's an anti-data center voter right there.
I'm clocking it.
Don't know where this goes.
Don't even care what she says. I know when I see him. Okay that right there
No matter what she says the John King no matter what made it to the editing floor what made it out of the editing floor
I know for a fact as an anti-data center voter like that's her primary focus
Where do I start
Look at it all day.
Oh, diabetic health care.
Health care and child care costs are her biggest stresses,
and she likes what she hears from El Sayed there.
But Stevens has appealed too.
Ayala thinks her experience might help get things done.
Sometimes thanks, her more moderate views
might help in November, especially
in rural areas like this.
When it comes down to pen to paper, it'll be, yes,
it'll end up being who has a better chance at winning.
Yes, Abdul El Sayed is that guy. Abdul El Sayed is that guy. Hailey Stevens is not that gal.
Consultant Brain, by the way.
Consultant Brain, once again. Well, I really like Abdul El Sayed, but what if other people don't?
Well, how about we just vote for people we like going forward? How about we do that?
Because if you like something about him, other people are probably gonna like the same things
about him. It's just that you have been broken down, okay? You have been broken down and intellectually
brutalized for so many years. You've been duped into believing that other people don't agree
with some of the qualities that you like about a particular candidate. They do. Okay. They
do. That's why I'll do less 10,000 volunteers. And Haley Stevens says 80, not 80,000, just
eight zero. Okay.
You're not sure that is right. I don't. I have no clue. You see yourself as kind of
a referee, one of the referees, the voters in kind of a democratic civil war or family
I've always been a referee my entire life um yeah iala knows it's a giant choice for michigan and beyond
and there's just a bit more time to chew it over john kink cnn maple city michigan
yeah debate night tomorrow by the way debate night tomorrow meanwhile uh donald trump all right
We're getting to finally the thing that all of you have been waiting for excitedly. Okay.
Situation monitoring. But before we do that, here's Adam Carlson's take. Michigan is the most
win race. If Democrats want to take back the majority, stall Trump's agenda and block his
judicial nominees during his final two years in office and build towards a democratic trifecta
in 2029. If you are a prominent Democrat and you refuse to back the nominee just because
you're preferred candidate loss in the primary, then it's abundantly clear that you care more
about your petty grievances than actually helping the people who are suffering the most in this
this country under the Trump regime. It means you are myopic selfishness.
Seriously, this applies to outside supporters of Steven wins the primary.
This applies to Steven supporters of outside wins the primary.
Well, that is, well, there is truth to that.
Ultimately, you can't expect people to fuck and vote.
I say this about the people who have postured vote blue, no matter who,
as long as the Democrats also maintain a pro Israel attitude.
And now they're changing their calculation.
Once there are some Democrats who are not pro Israel unconditionally.
Okay. Ultimately, you got to win over those voters. You got to win over those voters. If you are a Democrat, though, if you are a prominent Democratic Party politician saying this shit, well, then you're fucked.
You should be fucked. Bernie has never done this. Okay. Bernie has never done this. And at most, though, the one Democrat who had every right to do this for Kamala did not speak out.
And that was where she did to leave as a Palestinian as a Palestinian woman
She watched her people get slaughtered by the administration whose party she was a part of and
She just sat it out. She didn't say anything, right?
She was pro uncommitted movement, which is you know, I
Obviously respect that in the primaries and she didn't say anything in the general. I
Think that's pretty valid
What is this?
The cracks in the grift are showing, but face Fanny Slammer, 20,550 people are not doing
enough to help the cause while watching the stream.

Just trying to keep it real, mate.
You're right.
Famously, we don't do anything about making necessary changes in the world of American
politics. Thank you for calling us out chatter. If we weren't doing shit, Fox News would be
welcome. If we weren't doing shit, Fox News would be complaining. Non-stop. Y'all humping
on the tour? What is this? Am I insane or is the dry humping fans on stage trend so fucking
I told you, I'll fear and lie was a bad idea. Yeah, we're dry humping
Yeah, you could say that about a lot of like online political communities, but this is probably the one community
You can't really say that about
but
I'll chalk that up to you. Just simply didn't know
Chatter who had this complaint
I'm just going to assume that you didn't know.
All right. Let's get to...
Let's get to Prime Minister Benjamin Nyahu, who is very upset, situation monitoring, the
Strait of Hormuz is still closed.
And the Babel Mandip Strait is also partially closed as well.
The Yonsaralaw Movement is pummeling the Yambu port that Saudi Arabia is currently
utilizing to transit oil tankers through the Red Sea.
Their route was going through the Bhabi Wandev around the African continent, and now they
are not able to do so.
And on top of that, their refinery is on fire.
The Anzala movement struck back against Saudi Arabia by hitting an Aramco refinery, and
the situation is becoming untenable.
In the process, Donald Trump said that he would punish Iran more viciously than he's
ever done so.
And yet, after 13 days of tit for tat strikes, back and forth strikes, Donald Trump mysteriously
paused. The American operations on Iran for two nights in a row. Oh, it's this guy unfollow.
Strange.
Don't understand why people follow forget that they followed and go
So, block man, it's time to unfollow this guy, it's terrible.
Maybe he didn't recognize me without the beard.
Perhaps that's the case.
Anyway, Netanyahu, of course, in the brief pause for the strikes against Iran, has decided
to come and meet with Trump amid the war in Iran.
For now, after two weeks of trading lethal strikes back and forth overnight, U.S. and
Iranian weapons were quiet.
Potensions remain high in the region.
U.S. Central Command saying it boarded a ship Sunday in the Arabian Sea on suspicion of
violating the U.S. blockade of Iran, before ultimately letting that ship go.
And in the nearby Red Sea, the Houthi rebels, Iran's proxy group in Yemen, opening up a
new front, targeting Saudi oil exports, claiming they hit state-run oil operations in the Saudi
Kingdom.
This week, declaring a maritime blockade on Saudi-linked shipping in the Red Sea's Babel
Mandeb Strait, a vital trade route, Saudi Arabia releasing this video of what it says
are their patrols, the Saudi military carrying out attacks of its own on Houthi targets inside
Yemen.
President Trump, meeting with his national security team on Friday, to discuss next
steps, saying this week he's considering a massive attack on Iran.
It's two ways.
I mean, it's you can just keep doing exactly what we're doing and take them apart piece
by piece.
We could do it in a more rapid fashion, which we might do, or we can negotiate with them,
which we're also doing right now.
This all comes just days before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu heads to the White
House Tuesday to meet with President Trump.
Their first face-to-face since his February visit, where he argued for the joint U.S.-Israeli
attacks on Iran days before the start of the war.
So just how much we should read into this pause and the fighting remains unclear, but
what is completely clear is that this entire region remains on edge.
Geo.
All right, Matt Rivers, thank you so much for your reporting there.
All right, the real president is back and he's ready to chirp at the bullshit Americans
who aren't doing enough to defend Israel's interests.
The real president of the United States of America is back to demand that Americans
die at Israel's behest.
enough Americans have died yet, more Americans must die. So that Israel can take out a major
player in the region.
But before we do that, I'm sure it's just a coincidence that Trump restarted this Iran
war right after massage new chief visited Washington. This was of course a new reporting
that came out earlier this week. The new director of Israel's massage spy agency, Roman Goffman
visited Washington two weeks ago for talks about the war in Iran and the Iranian nuclear
program you met with CIA director Radcliffe and White House of Visuals.
I certainly, no I'm not concerned and I certainly intend to do so.
I've appeared just about every year, not every year, but almost every year in my prime
ministership, unless there are security conditions.
But barring that, and I don't expect that to be the case this time, yes I do intend
to come to New York.
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for you and your former defense minister
for genocide.
What is your response to this?
Well, the one who promoted that was the ICC, the International Criminal Court Prosecutor,
who has since been completely exposed as a criminal.
He himself was accused, was going to face charges of sexual harassment by two women.
He knew that.
And he was going to come to Israel, and he spoke warmly about Israel's judicial system
and the fact that there has to be an extensive investigation before any conclusions are gone.
And on the day that he was supposed to visit Israel, he canceled everything, called the news
conference, and accused me and the former defense minister of the war crimes. Now,
we've learned why, because a few days before that, he was basically confronted by his chief of staff
who said, you know, these two employers, employees of you, female employees of yours,
are going to charge you with the sexual wasn't con appointed by israel uh yes con was uh presented
by israel as a reliable substitute but of course one once he started doing his fucking job immediately
oh oh he's a rapist he's a rapist yeah for the record okay i'm sorry if you believe any of this
shit if you believe this to be anything but a honeypot operation you are the biggest sucker of all
time if you were to come around and try to tell me at all that there is even
remotely any fucking explanation here beyond Israel 100% honey potted the
living fuck out of Karim Khan for prosecuting Israel I'm sorry you are the
most delusional rube of all time. Okay. Look, there are situations where there are credible
sexual assault allegations, credible sexual harassment allegations. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm
sorry. Go ahead. Do your fucking girl boss feminism on me. I am not entertaining this
at all. Sorry. It's fucking bullshit. Okay? It is fucking bullshit. There is 0% chance.
And if you think this is not an exceptional case, if you think this is like, oh, you're
not taking, you know, rape seriously here, they're not taking it fucking seriously. They're
literally taking victory laps over here. Okay. I'm sorry. It's fucking bullshit. And there
will be more information that comes out about how fucking bullshit this is in, you know,
in some time.
Yeah. Con was removed for his misconduct, which jeopardized the important effort to
prosecute Netanyahu and others really. This is the international criminal court needs
incredible chief prosecutor, not con. It's important not to give up on the IC, but to
ensure no, but to ensure that no litmus test is applied to the new chief justice candidates.
We don't want anyone who will do the equivalent of immediately stopping the investigation
of Bush era, torture and Afghanistan or to slow walk the investigation of Israeli official
until Israel's genocidal response to October seven, made that no longer possible, please
was removed by diplomats casting a political vote in contradiction of the judges who found
no misconduct. They seized an opportunity to remove a thorn on their side. They will
not select another thorn now. This case was hijacked by the states, and some were okay
with that. Okay? This same, do you know something we don't? I guess I have brain cells that
you guys don't have. Okay? I guess I have brain cells that you guys don't have. They
They have been actively spying on the previous ICC prosecutor, and they sanctioned the previous
ICC prosecutor.
What are we talking about?
For fucking investigating Israel, okay?
Are you insane?
The previous ICC prosecutor was a woman.
So they went after her husband, okay?
They didn't get the honey potter, they didn't get to fucking be like, oh, she's a rapist
or anything, but they very clearly spied on her.
We know this.
We know this, okay?
They spied on her. They spied on all of her communications. They intercepted all of her communicates, and they were designing
prosecutorial cases in Israel specifically around
the the
What's the word complementarity? No, I'm using
There's a word for when the ICC steps in when
Then normal democracies, which Israel is seemingly a part of this concept, but when normal democracies
don't actually prosecute their war crimes, complementarity, under the binding agreement
of complementarity, when Israel does not prosecute its own set of war crimes, the ICC has to
kick in.
So what Israel would do was they infiltrated and intercepted her communications, and whatever
issue that she was investigating, like let's say there's a rape case in the West Bank, right?
Let's say there's a rape case in the Israeli occupying forces against the Palestinian prisoner,
right? And when she would investigate that stuff and she would be on the phone asking questions
about it, Mossad, which had intercepted her communications, would go back to the Israeli
government and say, this is what they're looking into. We have to prosecute this.
An example of this already took place with the pro-rape riots in Israel.
The reason why Israel actually went after the six state Taimon concentration camp guards
for raping prisoners to death, sometimes in front of CCTV camera footage, was specifically
so that they could kick in complementarity so they could say, this is not in the jurisdiction
of the International Criminal Court because we are clearly prosecuting ourselves, okay?
That's it.
it. That's what complementarity is, where normal democratic Western countries, as long
as they prosecute their own war crimes, the International Criminal Court can't prosecute
them.
But because Israel is so unaccountable, Israel is so used to behaving with impunity, they
don't give a fuck. So they try to use complementarity as a shield to prosecute internally some of
war crimes that the ICC is looking into. This is what they did with the previous IC prosecutor
before Kareem Khan. Then they also got Trump in the first Trump term to sanction the ICC
prosecutor. They've done this with ICJ prosecutors as well, International Court of Justice prosecutors.
And they've done this with ICC judges and prosecutors as well, okay?
So, I'm sorry, but if you were to look at that guy who is, who is, is tasked with one
of the most important criminal prosecutions of our generation, and magically, magically
all of a sudden he's considered a sex pest out of fucking nowhere.
I think it was like one of his staffers or something that he may or may not have had
a consensual affair with.
I'm not entirely certain about the details, but it doesn't even fucking matter, okay?
If you think that he just out of the blue became a rapist the moment that he fucking
started prosecuting Israel, you are the biggest fucking rub of all time, okay?
You are the biggest fucking rub of all time.
There is not a single person in any international criminal court or in any international organizing
body that hasn't been fucking destroyed by Israel.
It could be Francesca Albanese, for example, who's responsible.
The special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, has been
openly sanctioned by banks, debanked.
Her husband and her children have been kicked out of their fucking schools and shit.
And you're going to sit here and act like this is a real situation, is a real story.
Get the fuck out of here.
And his own judges did not find anything, okay?
own judges did not find any misconduct, but they still removed him nonetheless.
But the reality is, if there were issues with the OIOS fact finding, then the correct course
of action was to send it back to the OIOS and make a new legal determination.
But that took too long.
States needed to get rid of him now.
And so this charade of a vote was concocted.
I do not see this as due process or as justice for anyone involved.
It is a bad precedent for future cases of sexual misconduct, because now a bunch of
diplomats can clear someone guilty at the last minute, just as they remove someone who
was cleared. Now it's also about precedent for Palestinians whose case was obviously
tampered with. Israel has plain much admitted, Israel's pretty much admitted involvement
in building a coalition to remove con and will now likely slowly die. Pretending the
ICC will now find a super prosecutor with lots of teeth and grit does nothing. It won't
the ship has sailed. If this has gone back to the OIOS, the judge has reexamined and
concluded misconduct, then this would have been a legitimate process. And Khan would
be to blame and would have to answer to the Palestinians for his actions. That is not
what happened. Others will have to answer to them.
Is this being talked about in real news or only Twitter posts? I mean, real news covered
it. Real news covered it because of course, you know, they're rejoicing. This is a huge
blow. ICC judge admitted she was pressured. Oh, this is, uh, this is the former ICC chief.
Yes. Fatou Ben-Suda. This is the lady I was talking about. Fatou Ben-Suda, who led the
international body from 2012 to 2021, said that two men with ties to Israel came to her house in
the Hague after she opened the investigation in 2015 in order to intimidate her. I felt left alone.
I felt unsupported. Ben Suda also said that Mossad repeatedly pressured her to drop the
investigation during official meetings with the chief of the Israeli spy agency. What was clear
was that he didn't want an investigation on Palestine to go on, Ben Suda said. Also,
there are even authorities of some countries that have appealed to me. You really need to stop.
This is going very far. You could be harmed or you could be killed or family members could
be harmed in some ways. But to me, it was out of the question Ben Suda asked, Ben Suda added.
And yes, Karim Khan was the U.S. and Israel pick in 2021. They lobbied for him to get
the job. And in return, he dropped the U.S. from his investigation of war crimes in Afghanistan
and de-prioritized the Palestinian topic. As soon as he dared to go after Netanyahu,
the ICC got sanctioned by the U.S., even their handpicked guy was like, enough is enough.
We have to do something about this. And that was too much. That was a bridge too far.
So they just fucking branded him as a rapist with fucking false allegations.
And then the judges themselves found no fucking misconduct. Okay. But it didn't matter anyway,
because they pressured enough of the diplomats to fucking remove him from his position.
And then they also celebrated it. They took credit for it too. Here's, to no one's surprise,
walsh journals rejoicing the removal of korean condis glee comes days after the wash journal
ran mark of rubio's peace why we're dismantling the international criminal court i do wish cons
vocal detractors would just be honest about the context after months of burying the accusations
of more than two years of dithering the international criminal court is last at last fired as prosecutor
Karim Khan.
Israel taking credit for Karim Khan's removal. Against the backdrop of the dismissal of the
International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Khan, a senior Israeli official tells me that
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sahr played an active role in the efforts to advance the
move. According to the official, Sahr oversaw a dedicated task force and employed intensive
diplomatic efforts aimed at securing cons removal from office.
What is this?
The APAC power rangers?
What the fuck is this?
Yeah, whatever.
I don't care about this shit.
I'm talking about something bigger now.
Mark Ruffalo says just because you lobbied them to have the man who issued the war crimes taken down
Doesn't mean the war crimes the spirit of guilt is as to aged you will not outrun justice
You will not lobby history. You are a murderous maniac Benjamin and now you will always be remembered as such
Yeah, I welcome the decision supported by overwhelming majority of countries to remove Korean Khan
the prosecutor of the ICC. The decision exposes the truth.
Karim Khan was accused of sexually harassing women who worked under him. It was precisely as
these allegations emerged that he canceled his planned visit to Israel, abandoned his previous
commitment to thoroughly examine Israel's independent judicial system, and suddenly moved
to pursue arrest warrants against me and former Defense Minister Yuv Galan. He did so to divert
attention from the allegations against him and to rally Israel's enemies around him as a political
shield. That shield has now been torn away. It is fucking bullshit, okay? It is fucking
bullshit and you are a goddamn sucker and a goddamn Rube. If you entertain this even
for a fucking brief moment, that's it. That's it. They don't even like the whole of the
ICC, the fact that they're focused solely on him, estranged me. No, because he's the,
he's the one with the credibility. He's the ICC prosecutor. He was going to prosecute
the fucking case. That's why. Yeah, Sarah alleged inappropriate behavior of another
senior IC official also investigated and cleared before moving on to complain about con the
independent judges panel and con disciplinary found no serious misconduct. The ASP vote is
political. Yeah. I am a firm and committed believer that this is an Israeli operation.
That's it. There's an Israeli and American operation at play here. They 100% set this
dude up to be like, not only him, but anyone else that dare oppose Israel will be branded
a fucking rapist or a murderer, they're just going to always tie you up with shit. And
it doesn't fucking matter. Okay. This is gangsterism through and fucking through.
Yeah. And of course, the vassals fall in line bizarrely. The Rubio State Department has
made its war on the ICC a priority. The benefactor is Israel, the first countries that will surrender
to this pressure are the vassal states. And of course, one of them is the interim president
Delcey Rodriguez, who also cleared this decision. The U.S. welcomes the decision by interim
president, Delcey Rodriguez in Venezuela to withdraw from the ICC and the new Venezuelan
government's partnership on American led efforts. This may have a corrupt and worthless ICC.
They put the guy with some dirt on him to lean into later. This was intentional. I think
It's fucking bullshit because the quote unquote dirt is not even substantiated.
You understand?
Like there's dirt and then there's whatever this fucking thing is.
Okay.
Yeah, the ICC now has two paths before it, has only two paths before either it will demand
that the I.C. states immediately take action individually and collectively extra the warrants
for Netanyahu and Golan. Issue the additional warrants for other senior Israeli perpetrators.
Add to the additional charge of genocide and act under Article 70 to punish U.S. U.K. Israeli
actors that have obstructed justice or the court will fizzle out like a damp wick and
cease to exist. Yes, it will take courage. It's going to fucking fizzle out. By the way,
there's far too much pressure from the United States of America and all of its fucking
dumbass vassals to destroy, to piece up and destroy the international criminal court.
Okay. That's it. And it's not like China is going to fucking back it. Okay. There's who's
Who's going to back the ICC? Who's going to back international stability, rule-based
international order? Who is going to be the card carrier, the banner carrier of the international
rule-based order? If America, which is the architect of this order, is not defending
it, all of a sudden, when it impacts an American ally, a key American ally like Israel, there,
No one is out there to defend it.
Yes, it will take courage, but no other course will now salvage the course of legitimacy.
The US-Israel axis wants them to fall.
Will the ICC stand in fight or walk silently to the gallows?
No other choices is now or never.
Right in time for fucking World War 3.
It's great.
Yeah, if you can't win in the courts, attack the prosecutor and make sure it never gets
to the courts.
It's how you get around the justice system.
Trump did it in Georgia with Fannie Willis.
Now Netanyahu is doing it with ICC.
I mean, this is gangsterism.
I do want to add that Venezuela leaving the ICC likely does not have much to do with
U.S. control.
They've been under investigation for crimes against humanity under Khan and Ben Suda,
but they've never been prosecuted.
I suspect Rodriguez is concerned the next prosecutor may finally open the prosecution,
so jump that before they could.
I mean, I think that that pressure still stems from America.
It's a nice little cherry on top.
It reasserts American dominance.
It shows that Venezuela is completely captive
to American interests.
Just in case you missed it,
but this message describing the U.S.
is no longer standing for human rights
and that no one listens to her anymore
was posted by official French government account.
Yeah.
kannathroth has his next victim after pushing for cons removed for months and months.
Ken Ross, next target is Volker Turk, who will receive the Ken Ross treatment.
Ross's campaign for Israeli impunity continues. Ken Ross will destroy anyone who even considers
proskinthu perpetrators of the Zionist genocide. Yeah, former human rights watch executive director.
Now that the ICC member states have done the right thing by dismissing Karim Khan,
UN member states, by the way, Professor Kenneth Roth is a Professor of Prince University,
former human rights watch executive director since 2022. Celebrating the decision that
Kareem Khan was, uh, was, uh, ousted, then says UN members should not let Antonio Gutierrez railroad
through the reappointment of Volker Terg is the high commissioner for human rights without a proper
public debate, not just quiet consultation with governments, but also input from civil society.
No high commissioners ever served a second four year term. It's a badge of dishonor that Turks
first four years have been so timid that governments are willing to have him back for another four.
I cannot believe that these like serial blackmailers get to do whatever the fuck they want and I
And I guess, you know, it's America, so it's, uh, it's America's attack dog.
So everybody gets to do whatever the fuck they want.
Yeah.
Thankfully, Volcker Turks survived the push against them for the US, Israel, Russia coalition.
The only states that voted against them were client states.
Yeah.
Speaking of which, Haley Stevens also voted to sanction the ICC just so you understand.
Voted to sanction the ICC Haley Stevens, Abdul al-Said's opponent, uh, in the Senate race
literally sanctioned the motherfucking ICC, voted to sanction the ICC, the International
Criminal Court.
Disgusting.
Do you think Netanyahu is guilty of any of the charges against him at the ICC?
All adults, 45%, Democrats, 67%, independence, 46%, 18 to 29, 49%, 30 to 44, 50%, 45 to 64,
Over 65, 39%.
Not that it matters. The public opinion and the public approval obviously don't fucking matter.
What is this? Not everyone is American.
And if we're talking complicity, everyone's getting called out.
I mean between China and the United States of America really like there's a level of
complicity that you can point to.
I do all the time.
China is a major trade partner to Israel.
China offers Israel surveillance technology to use on Palestinians in the West Bank.
These are all real things, but it's like one is the United States of America that is entirely
propped up Israel.
The other one is just a global, major global power that is trying to invoke stability without disrupting American Empire too much.
You know, they could be doing a lot more, they have a lot more power to pressure, they're not utilizing that power, I do agree with you on that.
But, you know, they're not the ones who are fucking piecing up the ICC, they're not the ones who are sanctioning the ICC judges and shit.
There is no country on this planet that offers Israel the level of support that the United
States of America offers.
And as a matter of fact, I'll take it one step further.
If America didn't offer Israel this level of unlimited fealty and support, the other
countries wouldn't either.
the rest of the world treat Israel as a vestige of America as an extension of America. That's why
they treat Israel with kitty gloves. That's it. The moment that America was draw support,
the rest of the world would pounce on Israel. So he thought, how am I going to divert my criminality
to something that will protect me? And the best way he thought was Israel bashing and frankly
bashing me, and thereby getting the envelope, the protection of all the anti-Israel crowd.
And that's basically what he did, and it worked for a while.
But then the truth came out by various organizations, including the left-wing newspapers, The Guardian.
And as it came out, he was basically, he lost his job.
He thought, if there's an indictment, I'm going to have a job.
There was an indictment, and he lost his job because he was removed by a vast majority
of nations who knew that he was a con job.
his name is Karim Khan, he pulled a con job on the international community with these bogus
charges of war crimes on us, now he's going to be in the dock.
And I think that tells you that the whole thing that the mayor of New York is basing
himself on, this criminals, bogus charges, that's what he's using and look at what he's
doing.
He's for metting hate.
He's supposed to be the mayor of all New Yorkers, Jews, Christians, Muslims, everyone, but he's
He's trying to turn one group against the other, and he's forcing hate and fear.
I speak to Jewish Americans in New York, and they're afraid right now.
And I don't think it's accidental that after he made this hate speech against Israel and
against me, the next day, a Jew is stabbed coming out of a synagogue.
I think, and with a cry of, Allah is Akbar, Allah Akbar.
And you know what that means.
So I think that it's shameful.
This thing is very bad for New York.
I think it's very bad for peace, but the answer to your question, I intend to come and speak
the truth, speak for Israel and for the Israeli-American alliance from the podium of the United Nations.
Well this is a very important point that you're making though, because this rhetoric from
Zoran Mondani is more than just talking about Israel at a personal fight that he's having
with you.
I'm wondering if you believe that this rhetoric is making Jewish New Yorkers unsafe.
And is that what's behind so much upset and this anti-Israel sentiment raging across the
country?
Well, I do think the Jews feel very uncomfortable because I speak to quite a lot of my friends
and they say, look, it's like a different...
Yeah, I wonder who's responsible for anti-Semitism skyrocketing Benjamin Netanyahu or the guy
who's objectively more popular by wide margins amongst American Jews, uh, Zoramumdani.
But American Jews hate A-Pack, hate Benjamin and Yahu, love Zoramumdani.
Okay. The idea that this is like, the idea that the main guy who's responsible for maximum enmity
towards, uh, the international Jewry, not just American Jews, but like Jews all around the
the fucking world, by constantly associating all of the death and destruction with them,
is over here being like, oh, it's the people that are calling me out that are responsible
for anti-Semitism. It's actually anti-Semitism that call me out.
But as on the U.S. supported the apartheid government in South Africa, even till there
was a UN agreement, they still voted against liberation. Why are they needed now? Please
don't yell at me. It's because there was a lot more pressure and Israel existed far
beyond. Israel's apartheid existed far beyond the apartheid in South Africa and they learned
very important lessons from how the apartheid was destroyed in South Africa. Israel and
apartheid South Africa were close allies. Israel actually aided and embedded apartheid
South Africa, uh, spied the ADL, the apartheid defensively literally spied on American, American
Jews that were anti South African apartheid, um, you know, black student movements, student
movements, trade unionist movements that were protesting against apartheid South Africa.
Israel actually by way of the ADL spied on these people for South Africa. Okay. The problem
is when the apartheid ended in South Africa, Israel, which was maintaining its own apartheid,
realized that there were some very important lessons that they could learn from this.
So they got back to work. The same initiatives that existed that actually reached a critical
level of success against the apartheid South Africa have been outright criminalized in this
country. Boycotts, divestments, and sanctions is not a movement that was invented against
the apartheid Israel, it was initially deployed against apartheid South Africa to great success.
Cultural boycotts, academic boycotts against apartheid South Africa also played a formative role.
Okay. Israel learned from the, I guess, quote-of-word mistakes that they made,
apartheid South Africa made in terms of continuing.
it's unjustifiable and illegal structure of apartheid. That's it. I think there's also,
I guess this is more spiritual, but there is like, given that there was already existing,
I guess, guilt amongst some of the more progressive forces in the country about America's own
history of anti-Black racism. It was an easier message for Americans to understand. And also,
a lot of Black movements instantly were obviously on board with the abolition of the apartheid in
South Africa. Whereas again, where does Israel spend a lot of money in the United States?
States. We talked about this earlier. A lot of progressive black movements that are inside
of the Democratic Party are funded in large part by Apex subsidiaries and big donors that
are pro-Israel. That's part of the reason why, while the black population overall is
not supportive of Israel at all, a lot of the establishment Democrats, a lot of the
The spokespersons for black Americans on mainstream media are very pro-Israel.
They are directly at odds with their own base.
The attitude that Americans have towards Jewish people in general, and they see Israel as
the Jewish state, is shame because of the lack of support during the Holocaust, like
turning away Jewish refugees from the United States of America,
a lot of this played a formative role in the design
for why the American state played a big role in defending Israel from the start.
It's this interesting dichotomy that exists
for
Jews in Israel
as the majority group, as the dominant group, as the in-group of power, versus
Jews in America that have been historically undermined, okay? Historically undermined as
a minority population. Not anymore. There's no real systemic discrimination against Jews
in the United States of America in 2026, but historically there was discrimination against
Jews, systematic discrimination against Jews.
From world, we're afraid to go into the streets. We certainly do not want to wear yamakas
or any, any clothing that would give away that we're Jews. But yes, they feel frightened.
And I think that's part of this incitement language that is sweeping.
Yeah. The anti apartheid movement in the US was also not long after the civil rights
movement was kind of seen as an internationally in the fight against Jim Crow, even though
So you could say the same about anti-apartheid and Palestine has been a while since the civil
rights era.
Yes, but there's also a 20 or barrier between any kind of civil rights movement, international
or domestic and the global war on terror, which basically universalized Israel's enemies
as America's enemies, the Muslim hordes in general.
That is a big part of the reason there is tremendous amounts of Islamophobia in American
public.
And that is what keeps Israel, uh, that is what allows Israel to operate in the violent
ways that it does.
Because ultimately the average American still goes, ah, yeah, these Muslims are kind of
scary and weird, uh, and, and dangerous and, and, you know, I guess like the average American
looks at the situation and goes, yeah, Jews are fighting against Muslims.
It's like their own religious battle.
You know, I think, uh, the average American probably thinks like, yeah, you know, Jews
control the media but I like Seinfeld and Muslims I am fearful of because they
did 9-11 and they want to do it all the time. So they just lean on one side over
the other most people were uninitiated pre-October 7 and they kind of had this
attitude over it.
Super simple but that is what it is. Jews control the banks but they're
good with money, and Jews control the media, but I like, you know, the media and that Muslims
are scary terrorists. Like the average American doesn't think deeply about this stuff. That's
how they operate. It's the, the Boomer fellow Semitism, the type of anti-Semitism you hear
from Donald Trump, for example, like, oh, Jews make good lawyers, Jews make good money,
that kind of thing is what causes a lot of Americans to lean on the side of this religious
conflict that they designed in their heads as one being over Jews and Muslims, where
they sided with the Jews over the Muslims.
Brogis fed the out of context. Is that cool verse for the next 1000 years, Lamau?
I mean, very clearly this is not my position. I'm saying that this is what the average American thinks.
Which, again, if they were to clip, most people would look at that and go, yeah, I agree with that.
He nailed it.
A lot of circles with anti-Semitism, a lot of circles in the West, in the United States,
and unbelievably in New York City, which has the second largest Jewish population in the
world after Israel.
And I think it's wrong.
The whole thing is wrong.
And what are they doing?
I mean, what Mondani is supporting, his wife, his family, he celebrated October 7th massacre,
the worst massacre against Jews since the Holocaust.
He's basically supporting, he tries to say that he doesn't,
but he's supporting the Hamas murderers
who raped our women, then beheaded them,
burnt babies alive, slaughtered our men,
took innocent people, hostages, 251 men, women, children,
babies, that's who he's supporting.
And they're the ones who are responsible for genocide.
They would have killed, as their charter says,
and as they themselves proclaimed,
They would have killed every single Jew in Israel and every Jew in the world.
So the genocide belongs to our enemies.
What we're doing is try to fight this genocidal terrorist organization that embeds itself
among civilians, prevents us from moving the civilians out of Hanh's way, they use gunpoint.
That's where the real criminals are.
But Mandani is aligning himself with the criminals, with these murderers.
But the worst thing is that he's, he's tormenting his own, his own citizens, his own voters.
No, that is wrong.
And I, you know, I've been to New York so many times Maria over the year.
I've met all the New York mayors.
They all saw themselves as mayors of all New Yorkers, not putting the.
Yeah, he's talking about who does not actually despise the baby.
Yes, I fucking hate him.
He is disgusting.
He's a disgusting monster.
with a conscience should also hate him. And do, many people do. Even people are probably
Israel hate this fucking guy. This guy is a demon through and through. There's is indefensible.
Not gonna lie, is it wrong to say that the average normal person doesn't even think about
like most people have exams and or work going on. Have you talked to in any human being in the last
three years? Like actually have you talked to any human being other than just trolled in this fucking
chat? Dog, there is no one under the age of 35 that will openly in broad daylight say that they love
Israel, okay? Like most normies have moved far beyond the position. Most normies have moved far
beyond the position that Israel is like an ever-present danger, they literally also embody some
anti-Semitic tendencies as well. That's what most Normies think. We are abnormal. We are abnormal
for our criticisms of Israel and our criticisms of anti-Semitism. We are in the tiny miniscule
minority. Most people have moved far beyond shitting on Israel. They 100% go above and beyond.
like it's not even just like shit that would be you know considered anti-semitic maybe on the edge
like you know kissing the wall memes and stuff like that all of that stuff is not normalized
everyone says it now okay everybody says it
when i say don't think don't think they like don't think seriously it's mostly memes
Israel is literally a substitute for all things cringe Israel's a substitute for all things bad when people fucking hate something they say this is Israel coded
but it's it's done. It's super done.
It's so bad that people literally fell for Candace Owen saying Israel killed Charlie
Kirk like there are even people here who sincerely believe this and to I'm agnostic on that okay
I don't push back on that stuff anymore you know I used to but hey it's out of my hands
Pitting one part of the population against the other.
Of course.
Ms. Prime Minister, let me move on to the war where we saw the highest, really, hostilities
yet in the last week.
What will it take to end this war?
I think it will – what will it take?
It will take for Iran to understand, either for this regime to fall or for Iran to realize
at the cost of wreaking economic chaos through the world, murdering its thousands of its
own citizens, and shooting at everyone, I mean literally at everyone, at Saudi Arabia,
at Bahrain, at Qatar, at Kuwait, at the UAE, at Israel, at Jordan, every single one.
I mean, this is what this regime is doing when they don't have nuclear weapons.
So imagine what they would do if they had nuclear weapons.
I think when this regime is either toppled or it's sufficiently weakened that it knows
it has to end its nuclear program and has to change its course.
That's really what President Trump is trying to achieve, and I back his efforts to do so.
If he can do so without returning to intense military fighting, that's fine.
But one way or the other, they have to end their nuclear program.
And with a deal or without a deal, that has to come to an end.
How far back do you believe Iran's nuclear program has been set back since this fighting
began at the end of February?
Quite a bit.
I mean, we knocked out 20 of their chief nuclear scientists in the two operations that we did
with the United States, 20 leading nuclear scientists.
We knocked out a lot of their facilities.
It doesn't mean that they can't try to reconstruct, but we pushed them back a good few years.
That's important because just imagine, I mean, what would happen if this regime, the chance
death to America, that's the real goal, death to America.
If they had nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them to where you're sitting right
now, Maria, to New York or to Washington or to any city in the United States, this would
be a mortal peril to every citizen in the United States.
And obviously, President Trump and I are both committed to prevent this danger to the United
States to the peace of the world and to Israel. And I can tell you that we'll pursue all the
means to prevent that. So yes, we pushed it back, but it doesn't mean that you can't have the
attempt to restore it. And we have to be on the constant watch so it doesn't happen.
And you're getting set to travel to the U.S. to meet with President Trump and then attend the
funeral. Yeah, he's he's here. He's coming back. He's coming back to check in on his
on his little pawn. It's great services of Senator Lindsey Graham. Prime Minister,
what can you tell us about any fresh new intelligence that you may have about that
nuclear program that you are about to present President Trump with?
Well, first let me say that Lindsey Graham is a terrible loss.
He was such a great friend, such a champion of America and a patriot, and such a champion
of the Israeli-American alliance.
He believed in the benefits that Israel gives to the United States in terms of Intel weapons
technology.
And, of course, we appreciated very much all the help that we got from the United States.
So he was an extraordinary American patriot, and we miss him greatly.
As far as the nuclear program, we constantly exchange information.
Our intel services and yours are working so close together that it's not that I'm going
to present new information, but I think it's a good thing to have the opportunity to sit
with our good friend, President Trump, and to hear what he has in mind, because I think
in many ways it's his decision.
But let me say one thing, and I think I should say it very, very clearly.
If Iran attacks Israel, either directly or through proxies, either with ballistic missiles
or UAVs or killer drones, it will make a terrible mistake because our response, Israel's response,
will be very, very forceful.
My conservative family is saying Trump should be allowed to run for 2020 because only he
can stop around from developing nuclear weapons.
I keep pointing out that Nenia has been saying they would build a nuclear bomb within months
every year now. Ever since they denied him going to the local park with unsalted peanuts
and hard boiled eggs to feed the crows. I don't know what to do anymore, man. I think
it's a call. Fuck. God damn it.
I just got off the fucking almost 20 hour flight. Come back home and I rushed over here.
stay back, hit the star streaming button and y'all got a doing like this, that's what
we're doing?
That's what we're fucking doing is supporting independent media, podcasting service, people's
broadcasting service sponsored by you the people for you the people.
Okay?
Fucked up.
Prime Minister, Lebanon is also a key central to Israel's long-term security.
I want to get your take on the meeting in the White House with the president of Lebanon
last week and your thoughts on whether or not he can be a positive in this fight.
Well, first of all, I think we've already had a positive development because remember
Hezbollah that basically holds Lebanon hostage had taken over the south of the country that borders on Israel
And they were going to invade us like the Hamas did on October 7th
They were going to do it actually with a force a lot bigger. They prepared terror tunnels
They had the terror installations along the border and we pushed them back. We pushed them back by five to
eight miles away from our border
destroyed a lot of these terror tunnels, and they were in a position to fire directly.
Anti-tank missiles right into our living rooms across the border.
Actually they did that.
So we prevented that from happening.
I think we weakened Hezbollah a lot.
They had 150,000 missiles and rockets.
The greatest concentration of such projectiles on the planet aimed against Israel.
We knocked out about 94 percent of that.
So that's good for Israel, good for peace, good for Lebanon.
But it's still there.
We talked to the Lebanese government with your – with America's good offices in Washington,
led by the – by the President and Secretary Rubio, and we got a deal.
And the deal says openly, for the first time in decades, Israelis and Lebanese are talking
directly to one another.
And the deal was we pushed back Hezbollah, we demilitarized Lebanon, we disarmed Hezbollah,
And we make peace and I think the fact that this deal was put forward is a great advance
It shows that his balas ability to intimidate
Lebanon's government and its president has been sharply reduced now whether or not the Lebanese army can take over the areas
That we clear up from damn the big yahoo loses step. Hasbara isn't hitting as good. He's fucking
Maybe it's the ass cancer
but
The hotspot never works any longer. It's just they they have to prop it up with bots
Make no mistake, this is where every accusation is a confession
The UN is not a safe place to be anymore. It's time to vote in America now
How about it's really bought boots on the ground instead of American soldiers
I hope in any island trouble have a huge military escort in New York. They will have enemies there the mayor won't help them
Only idea posts haven't been censored in the comment section praying for wisdom for all our leaders. God bless
from Hezbollah, that remains to be seen, but we're willing to give it a try.
And I think that it's on the whole a positive development, and may lead to another peace
treaty between Israel and an Arab country.
Wow.
Well, that's what I want to ask you about, about the Abraham Accord.
But first, let me ask you this, because many Israelis are deeply divided on what your government
is doing in the response to this.
What do you want to say to critics who may not understand what you're seeing in terms
of this ongoing war?
I think there's a lot more unity in the country than appears in the various statements by
politicians.
Most Israelis understand.
We have to fight Hezbollah.
We're doing that, by the way, with an incredible ratio of five terrorists killed for every
civilian killed.
That's unheard of.
And we do it because we precision target the terrorists.
Hezbollah, like Hamas, embeds itself among civilians, but we've been able to reduce that
ratio in Gaza, because the last thing we want is genocide.
In fact, we want to hit the terrorists, not the civilians that they use as human shields.
And we're very successful in doing that in Lebanon.
Most Israelis understand that we have to keep the security zone that we have now alongside
the Israeli border on the Lebanese side in order to prevent a new invasion attempt by
his bala terrorist and most support our efforts to reach a peace with Lebanon.
So I would think there's a lot more unity among Israelis than meets the eye.
And if I'm elected again, we're going to have elections in a few months.
I intend to create a broad national government that will give expression to that unity in
the next government.
And Prime Minister, I want to get your take on this Saudi deal over a nuclear deal with
the U.S.
The Israel was concerned in the past about Saudi Arabia's ability to enrich uranium,
but President Trump has done this civilian nuclear deal program with the Saudis on the
condition that Saudi Arabia join the Abraham Accords.
Are you expecting that?
And what is your assessment of this nuclear deal?
is even an electoral opposition yes but they're also they they also are in favor
of the same shit
clear deal
well first of all i i think president trump was absolutely right in
uh... stating that condition
you know that you saw the way we would get a civilian nuclear program
uh... in exchange for
uh... and normalization of relations with israel i stress civilian because the
last thing we want and i'm sure the last thing the president wants
is a military program, a nuclear program in Saudi Arabia.
Can we have this?
Yes, I think it's possible.
Remember that we had four peace agreements
between Israel and Arab nations, brokered by President Trump
with my working together with me.
It's a great achievement, a historic achievement.
And obviously, we'll be delighted if we could extend it
to Saudi Arabia and other countries.
And I think if we weaken Iran further, we will.
Which countries are you expecting to join the Abracadabra?
They're playing him out.
The ones that I want to join, I will not.
I won't reduce the problem.
What the fuck is going on?
They're playing him out.
Maria is like, I love you, Mr. President.
You're the real president.
I can't get enough of you.
They're joining by exposing them here, but I can't tell you that we have.
Well, Maria, I'll tell you this.
And everybody says Israel is isolated.
This is not isolated.
I mean, many, many countries in Africa, in Latin America.
That's the real president talking.
You can't fucking play him out.
He can go on for as long as he wants to.
In Asia, even in Europe, many countries are coming to us because they want to share our
technology, civilian technology.
They want to benefit from our military prowess and technology.
And there are now contacts with several Arab countries in the Middle East.
But because I want to advance those contacts, I'd rather reserve my answer to a future
appearance on your show.
And we want you back.
But real quick before you go, Mr. Prime Minister, the anti-Semitism in the Democrat Party,
are you worried about losing the Democrat Party as opposed to risk to Israeli-U.S. relations?
Real quick, sir.
Yeah, I'm very concerned with that, obviously, because I think a bipartisan support for Israel
is important, very important for us.
But I'll tell you what I'm worried about most.
I'm worried about the reasons that leading Democrats have said privately.
One of them said it actually publicly of why they joined the radical fringe.
And the reason is that their family has been harassed, that they're afraid of being tailed
everywhere and being intimidated by this radical fringe.
So I think that's really something that should worry every American.
You don't want legislators taking their position because of personal intimidation.
That's bad.
Yes, I worry about it.
Yeah.
Ms. Prime Minister, good to have you this morning.
We so appreciate it.
Yeah.
Only, only Israel gets to do personal intimidation.
Anyway, that, that's all for today, folks.
I'm tired.
Long travel.
Uh, but I still wanted to come back strong is there was a lot I didn't get to today,
but there's a lot I covered.
I'll be back tomorrow with more news Monday,
Newsday, you already know,
we got some social guests coming on this week.
And then after in the end of the week,
I will be traveling to Michigan and Wisconsin
and all over the place.
So there's going to be a lot of festivities.
Primaries are coming up next week, tomorrow night.
There is a big debate.
I'll also say at Haley Stevens debate coming up.
Very exciting stuff there.
But
The problem
But
For the time being this is all I got, love you all

Kicked out in the DNC, I rail and march the gourd
Committing the propaganda to shut down people's throats

A full-blown fascist takeover and still the duty calls
A total radicalization coming out to sea
A system where he'll always fail
It's up to you and me
All these daily streets
Whether sure or whether long
I've held millions of people
keep it moving right along.
Cause there he is again, a son is streaming.
A son is streaming.
There he is again, a son is streaming.
A son is streaming.
