Shatter. This platform might actually explode on Kirk aversary counting or not counting 29:50.000 --> 30:13.840 It's so funny that conservatives are like, how dare you guys, how dare you guys sing 30:13.840 --> 30:21.520 we are Charlie Kirk at a rally. I don't even know what to say about this. Like, do they not know 30:23.600 --> 30:25.600 that basically what happened is like, 30:27.600 --> 30:33.520 you know, everybody was shocked. Everybody was horrified by his assassination, myself included, 30:33.520 --> 30:40.960 you know, I watched it damn near real time as it was unfolding. And then the conservatives 30:40.960 --> 30:47.960 went in extra hard and we're like, Oh, you literally have to say Charlie Kirk is awesome 30:47.960 --> 30:51.000 or else we'll fire you. 30:51.000 --> 30:55.080 And then everyone was like, yeah, actually, no, that's kind of dumb. 30:55.080 --> 30:57.640 Yeah, we're not going to do that. 30:57.640 --> 31:04.300 And then because the conservative movement was so aggressive in their posture, so aggressive 31:04.300 --> 31:10.560 in their, their hagiography, so aggressive in their martyrization of Charlie Kirk 31:10.560 --> 31:18.080 that there was like an understandable, dare I say inevitable backlash to it, where people 31:18.080 --> 31:28.080 responded by, you know, Kirkification memes, making Kirkifications happen. 31:28.080 --> 31:31.920 The answer to this isn't to say, oh, he's been jamming to the Charlie Kirk shit for 31:31.920 --> 31:38.200 months. Who gives the fuck? You guys are being so silly with that. The answer to 31:38.200 --> 31:45.960 that is your pearl clutching, your pearl clutching because this isn't him like belittling Charlie 31:45.960 --> 31:51.400 Kirk's assassination or, or mocking Charlie Kirk's assassination or celebrating Charlie 31:51.400 --> 32:01.640 Kirk's assassination. This is, you know, carrying the flame. 32:01.640 --> 32:14.560 Republicans hate when, you know, people, when people give back like a fraction of the energy 32:14.560 --> 32:19.140 that they put out there, Charlie Kirk is now a character in internet brain rot, children 32:19.140 --> 32:23.200 see Kirk on the same level as tongue tongue. So who are the wars over guys? Nobody cares 32:23.200 --> 32:27.480 about the cult of reverence anymore. They haven't since a month after he died. Exactly. 32:27.480 --> 32:30.680 So I don't know what the fuck these guys are holding on to. 32:34.680 --> 32:37.720 And I think another part of the reason why it just, 32:41.720 --> 32:43.380 what I, I guess like, 32:45.180 --> 32:48.640 you know, I guess they would be less mad 32:48.640 --> 32:51.800 if I had fireworks on stage like his wife. 32:52.920 --> 32:55.200 Like, is that the only way to honor it? 32:55.200 --> 32:56.680 Is that why they were mad? 32:57.480 --> 33:03.480 Cause I was singing the song, but I didn't have the accompanying flares. Is that why? 33:17.640 --> 33:21.880 I think it would be help. It would help to reiterate your anti vigilante justice man. 33:21.880 --> 33:29.760 Shut the fuck up shut your bitch ass up 64 month subscriber. What are you fucking stupid? You think these guys give a fuck? 33:31.880 --> 33:34.280 You think anybody gives a shit about anything 33:35.280 --> 33:40.860 How many what do you want me to do start every fucking day by being like I hate vigilante justice 33:40.860 --> 33:46.800 I'm against the death penalty. I am anti will every day every day, dude 33:47.320 --> 33:50.600 Should I start every day with that reiterate my positions? 33:50.600 --> 34:01.400 You think these cocksuckers give a shit they don't they don't fucking care I know 34:01.400 --> 34:07.040 you you're probably being nice and you think this will be helpful 34:07.040 --> 34:23.480 Anyway, yeah, there, I think this is them gearing up for the Kirk aversary. 34:23.480 --> 34:52.860 We're gonna do a new wave of manufactured outrage for the Kirk aversary, you know? 34:52.860 --> 35:00.100 You need to do a Kirkland acknowledgement. Yeah. I mean, this is about to be one AK dude, 35:00.100 --> 35:08.540 one after Kirk. We're in the BK right now. This is literally one BK by the way. This 35:08.540 --> 35:17.740 is one before Kirk, right? Technically. Well, not one. This is the first, this is the end 35:17.740 --> 35:29.060 of one AK is about to, we're about to enter year one. We're in zero AK zero after Kirk. 35:29.060 --> 35:38.940 We're still in zero after Kirk. We're about to be in one after Kirk. So yeah, you didn't 35:38.940 --> 35:41.100 stop in Kirkman while in Seattle. 35:41.100 --> 35:45.300 910 is literally the worst catastrophe to happen the month of September in this country. 35:45.300 --> 35:48.300 in like the last 30 40 years, honestly. 35:53.300 --> 35:58.300 They're demons, they're hypocrites, they hold nothing sacred, but demand that you do. There's no pleasing these jackals. 35:58.300 --> 36:04.300 They are in reality 1000 times worse than what they pretend to think woke one was or whatever with respect to cancer culture. Yeah. 36:11.300 --> 36:12.300 Anyway. 36:15.300 --> 36:26.220 This is the one where he comes back actually. Yeah. It's just like, it's tough. It's tough 36:26.220 --> 36:33.620 for me to, to act the way you want me to act with like respect and reverence when you have 36:33.620 --> 36:39.740 no respect, you know? And I don't even mean like, Oh, this is hypocritical. You guys 36:39.740 --> 36:45.420 don't show any respect to anybody. I just mean like you didn't show respect to Charlie 36:45.420 --> 36:50.220 Kurt. You know what I mean? Yeah, I always disagree with him. I don't think he should 36:50.220 --> 36:56.780 have been fucking assassinated. And you know, I made that very clear from the jump, 36:56.780 --> 37:01.500 you know, but the idea that I'm supposed to fucking sit there and be like, you know, 37:01.500 --> 37:10.700 guy was doing politics the right way. This guy was, you know, a very, he was a good actor 37:10.700 --> 37:16.360 for American politics. Like that was the demand from these fucking animals. And I was never 37:16.360 --> 37:25.740 going to do that. I was never going to lie. And my position on Charlie Kirk was very 37:25.740 --> 37:36.900 clear, obviously, right? I mean, I wrote about it. I wrote about it. There was extensive coverage 37:36.900 --> 37:47.980 on my opinion on Kirk, my anger and frustration towards those who were engaging in, you know, 37:47.980 --> 37:53.480 ridiculous revisionist history about his, uh, his background, right? 38:01.020 --> 38:02.440 I was about to debate him. 38:02.700 --> 38:06.080 Like people are, he got killed. 38:06.380 --> 38:08.200 People have important to get assassinated. 38:08.520 --> 38:08.920 Yeah. 38:09.040 --> 38:12.520 Look, what's frustrating to me about this whole process is like, 38:14.180 --> 38:17.880 there's an entire sea of Kirk profiteers. 38:17.880 --> 38:20.020 if you want to call it that, right? 38:22.080 --> 38:23.380 His wife is one of them. 38:25.280 --> 38:27.380 I think I'm far more respectful. 38:29.180 --> 38:32.320 I'm just making fun of the fact that people were, you know, 38:32.320 --> 38:35.580 people were demanding this reverence, this great respect. 38:35.580 --> 38:39.780 They made this song and it's not my fault that the song's a banger. 38:41.720 --> 38:47.780 It's not my motherfucking fault that the goddamn song is a banger. 38:47.880 --> 38:57.880 Okay, and it, you know, at level 10 hype train, if we get there, we'll, we'll, we'll do a special, we'll do a special one. 38:57.880 --> 39:04.720 Clann is a machine was Lee proper tearing off of his death and then the same tag is 39:04.720 --> 39:17.120 a widow for a year. Excuse me. We are clandestine operators. Excuse me, but yeah, I look, I already 39:17.120 --> 39:21.760 don't have to be fair. You come across as kind of sarcastic about like it. Okay. I 39:21.760 --> 39:27.720 am being sincere about my appreciation for the song. Unfortunately, I wish I was fucking 39:27.720 --> 39:35.080 joking. I do sincerely enjoy the song. So here's the thing. Here's the thing. Okay. 39:38.760 --> 39:45.800 Here's the thing. I don't like, yeah, it's, it's, uh, well, I'm not even dignifying them with a 39:45.800 --> 39:52.360 response. I, I, what, what I will say is this, I expect Republicans to do this shit. I think 39:52.360 --> 40:00.440 If you are a liberal and you lean into the Republican pearl clutching operation around 40:00.440 --> 40:06.960 the martyrization of Charlie Kirk, you are literally in my, by my estimation, you're lower 40:06.960 --> 40:09.160 than the Republicans. 40:09.160 --> 40:11.780 Okay? 40:11.780 --> 40:18.720 You are, you are the dog shit that is stuck to the bottom of my shoe. 40:18.720 --> 40:23.060 So if you're a liberal and you hate me and you're like, this is a great opportunity. 40:23.060 --> 40:24.880 I'm going to use this as a moment. 40:25.120 --> 40:29.440 I'm going to use this as an opportunity to really stick it to this guy to show all 40:29.440 --> 40:32.600 of these other liberals out there that I'm the good one. 40:32.600 --> 40:33.920 I'm the good liberal. 40:36.240 --> 40:37.200 Let me tell you something. 40:38.200 --> 40:38.720 Okay. 40:39.840 --> 40:41.080 I don't respect you. 40:42.360 --> 40:43.920 I will never respect you. 40:45.200 --> 40:47.560 The Republicans will never respect you. 40:48.720 --> 40:52.080 especially because you have no respect for yourself. 40:53.440 --> 40:56.080 Okay? You have no respect for yourself. 40:56.960 --> 41:03.680 You are a horrifyingly reduced piece of shit 41:05.680 --> 41:08.400 that will never see the gates of heaven. 41:09.920 --> 41:15.280 Okay? If you're one of these liberals, these self-identifying liberals who comes out and 41:15.280 --> 41:22.320 agrees with the Republicans. In a moment like this, when they're doing an outraged manufacturing 41:22.320 --> 41:30.400 campaign, I don't even give a shit. I don't even care about the Republicans doing it. I expect 41:30.400 --> 41:35.520 the Republicans to do it. Of course they're going to do that. But if you fucking lean into their 41:35.520 --> 41:43.760 pearl clutching operation, you're fucking worse than they are. You're a nasty little pervert. 41:43.760 --> 42:02.560 you're a freak ass bitch never never in a fucking million years too many comments in this chat 42:02.560 --> 42:09.880 could y'all stick to quality comments only please thank you yeah yeah this is one of 42:09.880 --> 42:15.800 those freak ass bitches I'm talking about this David Mauricio guy. He's doing it because 42:15.800 --> 42:20.760 he wants to position himself as like the anti-a-san liberal because he wants clout. This is the 42:20.760 --> 42:28.560 first and last time I will ever mention this little worm. Okay. All of those unfuck America 42:28.560 --> 42:36.920 losers, bro. Oh my God. This, this fucking, this fucking dickhead shook hands with that 42:36.920 --> 42:46.440 white supremacist with that white supremacist Jake Lang. I thought he was fine. I thought 42:46.440 --> 42:54.200 he was like a jubilee libtard. I thought he was like, I thought he was, you know, fine. 42:54.200 --> 43:01.880 You know, he does decent on those debates. Turns out he's not. He made a whole video 43:01.880 --> 43:04.640 being like, Hasan Pikers are right-wing scyop. 43:08.080 --> 43:09.960 These motherfuckers were selling 43:10.440 --> 43:15.120 We Carry On The Flame on Fuck America, Charlie Kirk lighters, bro. 43:24.320 --> 43:26.760 These are the motherfuckers who are complaining. 43:26.760 --> 43:42.600 motherfuckers who made Charlie Kirk means themselves. I mean, they don't even, you can tell these 43:42.600 --> 43:51.760 people have no honor. They have no self-respect. They have no consistency. They have no consistent 43:51.760 --> 43:58.600 positions at all. It's just pure grift. And if you get your 43:58.600 --> 44:01.960 news and information from these dildos, you're a fucking 44:01.960 --> 44:10.960 idiot too. Sorry. There is perhaps no greater indication of 44:10.960 --> 44:21.240 someone's dishonesty. Then a person like this leaning into the 44:21.240 --> 44:28.240 right-wing manufactured outrage pearl clutching campaign that I am addressing and making fauna 44:28.240 --> 44:43.320 right when they themselves have also done it yeah shanna watz is another one of these 44:43.320 --> 44:50.200 these fucking losers. I'm going to tell you right now, there are vultures out here. There 44:50.200 --> 45:00.000 are vultures out here, some of which are just straight up operating as, as Hosbara mercenaries. 45:00.000 --> 45:07.860 Shannon Watts is one of them. Shannon Watts, David, whatever the fuck, uh, David La Rosa 45:07.860 --> 45:14.900 as another one. Like those guys are, you know, they're doing this because, um, they recognize 45:14.900 --> 45:20.500 that they're, they're whatever remains of their career relies on getting money from big donors 45:20.500 --> 45:26.500 that care a lot about Israel, right? Near attendant is another one of them. But then 45:26.500 --> 45:32.080 there's also the classic, like I'm going to take the oppositional position to whatever 45:32.080 --> 45:40.240 Hassan is saying like Asmongold. Here's Asmongold talking about how it's really fucked up. 45:40.240 --> 45:44.960 I think this stuff is disgusting and I think that the people that are enabling it and the 45:44.960 --> 45:49.360 fact that he has people on his podcast that are doing this with him and they're singing 45:49.360 --> 45:54.560 along to somebody who is promoting terrorism and everything else. The reason why they're 45:54.560 --> 45:59.360 singing about the We Are Charlie Kirk and everything else, the reason why they're 45:59.360 --> 46:09.040 doing this is because guy who guy who recently ate a 14 day ban for advocating to murder 46:09.040 --> 46:21.440 children like shoot children with a gun is back pearl clutching pearl clutching about 46:21.440 --> 46:31.280 we choose to continue carrying the fucking flame. Yeah. Guy who wants the murder children has the 46:31.280 --> 46:37.520 moral position here apparently. They support killing Charlie Kirk. That's the reason why 46:37.520 --> 46:40.720 they're doing it. They're not doing it because they think it's funny. When you find yourself 46:40.720 --> 46:44.640 on the back for constantly, the only thing you find yourself doing is defending against charge, 46:44.640 --> 46:54.320 change. I'm not. I'm not on the back foot at all. Now, what's funny about it is, 46:56.800 --> 47:01.040 what's funny about it is these guys, Pearl Clutchers, 47:05.600 --> 47:10.800 they, they're not doing it because they want to, you know, like make it a meme or whatever. 47:10.800 --> 47:18.480 They're doing it because they want to turn killing Charlie Kirk into a funny thing that isn't weaponized against them. 47:18.480 --> 47:23.280 That's clearly what the goal is. The song's just a meme. I agree with you, the song's just a meme. 47:23.280 --> 47:28.720 But can you understand the difference between Hassan going and doing this versus somebody else? 47:28.720 --> 47:33.600 The difference is that whenever he's doing that, he's doing it because he agrees with it. 47:33.600 --> 47:38.800 He wants to see people. What? Even his own audience is like, it's a meme dog. 47:38.800 --> 47:43.800 calm the fuck down legalized comedy like this shot that's the reason why he 47:43.800 --> 47:48.080 uses the red I like it he's just like no his son is not allowed to and then look 47:48.080 --> 47:54.880 look at look at look at Asmongold defending it in December 2025 47:54.880 --> 47:56.880 I love life! 47:56.880 --> 47:58.880 You like Charlie Kirk, bro? 48:06.880 --> 48:08.880 He does! 48:08.880 --> 48:10.880 He does, you do! What do you mean? 48:10.880 --> 48:12.880 It does look like him. 48:12.880 --> 48:16.880 Here's my outlook. I've been making jokes about George Floyd for years. 48:16.880 --> 48:18.880 Why can't people make a joke about Charlie Kirk? 48:18.880 --> 48:22.880 Fuck, it's one thing to be doing it the day he gets killed, right? 48:22.880 --> 48:26.720 right? But like people doing it now like this is this is a while 48:26.720 --> 48:31.280 ago. I loved it. This was back in December. But now even more 48:31.280 --> 48:34.440 months have passed. And now it's like, well, yeah, it's not 48:34.440 --> 48:38.040 funny thing that isn't weaponized against them. That's 48:38.040 --> 48:41.080 clearly what the goal is. The song's just a meme. I agree with 48:41.080 --> 48:44.320 you. The song is just a meme. Oh man, like, of course, you 48:44.320 --> 48:47.960 got like, I make jokes about fucking 911. I make jokes about 48:47.960 --> 48:50.560 all kinds of bad, like really, really bad stuff that has 48:50.560 --> 48:56.160 happen. So if people complain big difference man, not really. I mean, I like I make nine 11 jokes. 48:56.160 --> 49:03.760 I make I loved it. His entire argument is I'm not allowed to do it. Like he just openly says it too. 49:03.760 --> 49:06.720 He's like, no, everyone else is allowed to do this joke. 49:09.040 --> 49:13.840 It's just only Hassan is not allowed to do this. Okay. Why? Because they don't like them. 49:13.840 --> 49:21.320 all kinds of jokes like that. But the problem is that I think it's okay in my opinion to 49:21.320 --> 49:26.960 tell a joke. The problem is whenever some people aren't joking, that's really the issue. And 49:26.960 --> 49:33.400 so that's really tell a joke, which one? Yeah. And he'll say, Oh, well, Hosanna's 49:33.400 --> 49:40.560 not joking. Yes, I am. The fuck do you mean? X said you singing and was advocating 49:40.560 --> 49:46.560 for political violence. Again, no respect for these people. They are, they are worm like 49:46.560 --> 49:52.160 individuals, uh, lower than dirt. My opinion on, my opinion on these people couldn't get 49:52.160 --> 50:01.360 lower, like ex-QC coming out, ex-QC who literally campaign, ex-QC who literally, all right, we're 50:01.360 --> 50:05.240 done with that kid. We're done with that kid. Uh, you will eat a band if you ever 50:05.240 --> 50:10.600 fucking link me his nonsense ever again. I'm just letting you know, cause he's very aggressively 50:10.600 --> 50:16.600 trying to, to cultivate a following for himself. We're not going to do that. No free cloud. 50:16.600 --> 50:18.600 Okay. 50:18.600 --> 50:37.120 Well, yeah, XQC, Asmengold, a lot of these people, they don't have any real politics whatsoever. 50:37.120 --> 50:44.000 It's just about farming outrage, farming the algorithm. 50:44.000 --> 50:49.960 know, they, they have no, like, if you're getting your political positions from a guy like 50:49.960 --> 51:01.920 Asmogold or XQC, you're not going to make it. Okay. Like XQC would suck off sex, destiny. 51:01.920 --> 51:05.520 If he was the one making the same joke. I mean, he said way more heinous shit regardless, 51:05.520 --> 51:10.980 But that's it. 51:10.980 --> 51:13.360 Their opportunities is all drama. 51:13.360 --> 51:14.860 It's all algorithm. 51:14.860 --> 51:19.740 It's all it's all fucking leaning into to outrage manufacturing. 51:19.740 --> 51:30.980 Yeah, guy who literally campaign with Donald Trump is is out here talking about how unacceptable 51:30.980 --> 51:33.640 is a call for violence and suck my dick. 51:33.640 --> 51:34.640 What am I supposed? 51:34.640 --> 51:40.640 allowed to, I'm not allowed to, to fucking crack jokes that everyone else is cracking. 51:40.640 --> 51:47.160 Really? That's what we're doing now. What is this fucking SJW as bullshit? Okay. What 51:47.160 --> 51:53.060 is this fucking pearl clutching? It clearly doesn't work. Part of the reason why it doesn't 51:53.060 --> 51:57.120 work is because we push back against it and we say, you're being ridiculous. We've 51:57.120 --> 52:02.740 seen, you know, we've seen what you've cheered on. We've seen what you fucking got 52:02.740 --> 52:12.020 got excited for. I'm sorry. This double standard is totally, totally ridiculous. Okay. We were 52:12.020 --> 52:17.300 just talking about woke one. You can't, you can't behave like this. 52:17.300 --> 52:26.540 Jillian Michaels thinks you're Hitler now. We're watching a psychopath in action. I 52:26.540 --> 52:29.700 always wondered how Hitler got millions to kill millions. This certainly gives us 52:29.700 --> 52:35.820 some insight. Yeah, I'm between me and Israel's strongest defender, Jillian Michaels. I wonder 52:35.820 --> 52:57.860 who's closer to Adolf Hitler. Anyway, so yeah, that's the that's the little brief moment 52:57.860 --> 53:06.060 of recognition that I wanted to give to this, to this story. There are so many Republicans 53:06.060 --> 53:11.140 who are like, we have to kill him now. Like we have to kill him right now. Someone needs 53:11.140 --> 53:18.660 to Kirk him. Someone needs to Kirk him immediately. And it's like, dude, what are you saying? 53:18.660 --> 53:26.580 I never advocated for violence against Charlie Kirk. I was literally about to debate him. 53:26.580 --> 53:27.420 Okay. 53:29.100 --> 53:31.060 What the Trump administration tried to do 53:31.060 --> 53:33.100 in the aftermath of this, of course, 53:33.100 --> 53:37.380 and I've offered analysis on this, it's not new, right? 53:37.380 --> 53:39.860 I've tweeted about this in the past as well, 53:39.860 --> 53:44.340 about the Kirkification and all the shit, right? 53:49.760 --> 53:54.400 The real reason why a lot of the Charlie Kirk memes 53:54.400 --> 54:02.680 exploded on the internet was because of the way that the Republicans tried to 54:02.680 --> 54:08.920 martyrize Charlie Kirk and it backfired. It backfired for a couple reasons. One, 54:08.920 --> 54:12.580 because we now live in a much more violent environment in general, where 54:12.580 --> 54:19.320 people are, you know, they're just not going to treat people in death with 54:19.320 --> 54:26.480 the dignity that you would normally demand, especially because all people are seeing is 54:26.480 --> 54:34.280 violence. They're seeing violence in Gaza. They're seeing violence in their schools, right? 54:34.280 --> 54:42.240 So from there, from the perspective of like a Gen Z-er growing up in this environment 54:42.240 --> 54:46.560 where there's like school shootings happening, mass shootings happening all the time, and 54:46.560 --> 54:49.920 And then they're like, you know, you have to, this is different. 54:49.920 --> 54:51.920 This is, this time it's different. 54:51.920 --> 54:59.000 And it's a dude who himself has said, you know, school shootings are unfortunately going to 54:59.000 --> 55:00.720 continue happening. 55:00.720 --> 55:05.120 That's a price I'm willing to pay for the second amendment because that's what he did. 55:05.120 --> 55:06.120 Right. 55:06.120 --> 55:07.640 That's, that's what Charlie Kirk literally said. 55:07.640 --> 55:12.160 Of course they're going to be like, all right, well, that's a little crazy. 55:12.160 --> 55:15.600 Yeah. 55:15.600 --> 55:22.780 We got ICE agents gunning down people in American neighborhoods, and then the entire Republican 55:22.780 --> 55:26.800 party is defending this process, saying they're all fucking terrorists. 55:26.800 --> 55:28.800 And then what are we supposed to do? 55:28.800 --> 55:33.880 We can't even crack jokes, not even at the expense of Charlie Kirk, necessarily, but more 55:33.880 --> 55:44.940 so the entire Republican movement that tried to force reverence. 55:44.940 --> 55:51.820 that's it. And I talked about this extensively at the time as well, when the curcification 55:51.820 --> 55:55.500 means were exploding and people were like trying to figure out what happened here. They were 55:55.500 --> 55:59.400 trying to understand it. And I said, look, part of it is because all people have seen 55:59.400 --> 56:06.940 as violence. And the other part of it is because Republicans tried to crack down 56:06.940 --> 56:15.060 on left speech, political dissidents, and aggressively force reverence for a right-wing 56:15.060 --> 56:20.540 podcaster to which people reacted this way about because they were like, why would we, 56:20.540 --> 56:27.300 why would we do that? What is this expectation? You can't, you know, you can't on the one 56:27.300 --> 56:34.620 hand design a world that is this violent. And then also on the other hand, you know, 56:34.620 --> 56:37.460 Say whatever you want to say about George Floyd. 56:37.460 --> 56:43.860 Say whatever you want to say about black people, brown people all the time, call us pussies. 56:43.860 --> 56:50.340 Say we're libtarded, woke, hysterical babies. 56:50.340 --> 56:55.020 Only to then turn around and be like, no, this is our MLK and you have to respect 56:55.020 --> 56:56.100 them. 56:56.100 --> 56:57.340 You have to respect them. 56:57.340 --> 56:59.180 How dare you? 56:59.180 --> 57:04.100 You need to get fired because they went after so many people. 57:04.100 --> 57:11.900 They went after so many goddamn people they tried to fire people. They were analyzing my reaction to it 57:13.100 --> 57:17.220 And I would go so far say my reaction was more human 57:18.100 --> 57:24.420 Than many on the Republican side's reaction was including Erica Kirk. Erica Kirk's reaction was strange 57:27.340 --> 57:29.340 You know 57:29.340 --> 57:41.500 So, from my perspective, last year I taught 6th grade and I had a student who wore a Charlie 57:41.500 --> 57:44.540 Kirk t-shirt the day after he was killed, not even a month later, he was meaming with 57:44.540 --> 57:47.220 his friends and playing weird Charlie Kirk song and laughing about it. 57:47.220 --> 57:49.940 Gen Z and gel, Jen alpha do not give a fuck. Yeah. 57:59.020 --> 58:03.980 The NFL was doing a moment of silence and shit. Yeah. 58:04.020 --> 58:09.420 Asming old was running around months after, uh, months after he was like, 58:09.460 --> 58:12.900 well, yeah, everyone makes a Charlie Kirk jokes. It's fine. 58:12.900 --> 58:21.780 Right? But prior to that, he was actually actively, actively doing the mass phone calls to get 58:21.780 --> 58:26.060 people fired, mass harassment, mass docs and campaigns to get people fired. 58:26.060 --> 58:32.380 Some of the people that got fired, some of the people that got fired weren't even like 58:32.380 --> 58:36.460 saying Charlie Kirk deserved it or anything like that. Right? Many of the people that 58:36.460 --> 58:40.700 got fired were getting fired because they were like, Hey guys, here are some of 58:40.700 --> 58:44.580 the quotes that Charlie Kirk has put out there in the world. 58:45.180 --> 58:46.860 Here are some of the things that he defended. 58:47.820 --> 58:50.420 Can we have an honest assessment about his background? 58:51.420 --> 58:55.860 Can we have an honest assessment about what he represented in American politics? 58:59.380 --> 59:01.460 People got fired for citing the guy. 59:03.580 --> 59:04.100 Okay. 59:07.020 --> 59:10.100 People got fired for repeating his words. 59:10.700 --> 59:19.980 it is ridiculous. Yeah, this was my this was my post on the 59:19.980 --> 59:22.940 Kirkification months ago. I said, this is part of the 59:22.940 --> 59:25.980 reason why the we are Charlie Kirk and the Kirkification means 59:25.980 --> 59:28.860 went insanely viral. You can't mandate reverence for a 59:28.860 --> 59:31.580 generation that saw their classmates get slaughtered in 59:31.580 --> 59:35.980 school shootings. Okay. 59:40.700 --> 01:00:09.700 Yeah, you can not forcibly demand empathy for a person who was concerned about the 01:00:09.700 --> 01:00:13.700 a person who considered empathy to be toxic. 01:00:13.700 --> 01:00:15.700 Okay, that's it. 01:00:25.700 --> 01:00:27.700 That's it. 01:00:39.700 --> 01:00:49.220 So on a real note scale of 1 to 10, how hard would it be to get an autograph and a picture 01:00:49.220 --> 01:00:50.380 tonight after the Portland show? 01:00:50.380 --> 01:00:55.380 I don't know. 01:00:55.380 --> 01:01:13.180 Yeah, Andrew Colbert even back then was in my fucking replies. I know on mandated pro 01:01:13.180 --> 01:01:16.900 Charlie posts, all that was asked was that they didn't chew the assassination of an innocent 01:01:16.900 --> 01:01:21.620 peaceful father and husband. I didn't do that. So why are you fucking complaining? 01:01:21.620 --> 01:01:22.820 I didn't do that back then. 01:01:22.820 --> 01:01:24.420 I'm not doing that right now. 01:01:25.780 --> 01:01:27.280 I'm not doing that at all. 01:01:37.820 --> 01:01:40.180 Innocent, peaceful father and husband, not a high bar. 01:01:40.180 --> 01:01:41.300 If someone couldn't meet the minimum 01:01:41.300 --> 01:01:42.380 that employers were provided 01:01:42.380 --> 01:01:45.100 with an unobstructed view of their employees depravity. 01:01:45.100 --> 01:02:03.100 People who are outraged on Twitter always have a past tweet memeing about it too. Yeah, that's I think I think if you have in the past engaged in the exact same thing. 01:02:03.100 --> 01:02:14.100 For for other people for entire races entire populations of folks, right. But now you're like, how dare you do this. 01:02:14.100 --> 01:02:17.720 And you're nothing to me, okay, your opinion doesn't matter. 01:02:17.720 --> 01:02:27.740 If you, if you literally made Kirkification memes and jokes yourself and are now pearl clutching 01:02:27.740 --> 01:02:35.600 about this, especially as like someone who is apolitical or like a liberal, you literally 01:02:35.600 --> 01:02:36.780 should stop. 01:02:36.780 --> 01:02:42.780 You should never, everyone should constantly remind you of how big of a piece of shit 01:02:42.780 --> 01:02:52.580 you are. How big of a fucking grifter you are. No one should let you get away with it. Okay. 01:02:52.580 --> 01:03:00.380 No one should ever let you get away with it. Yeah. Charlie would have mourned his son Charlie 01:03:00.380 --> 01:03:03.540 Kirk on stage mocked the killing of Palestinians and Gaza made jokes about the destruction 01:03:03.540 --> 01:03:09.260 of Gaza and watched his audience laugh along. Yeah. Lauren Chen Hassan met Charlie many 01:03:09.260 --> 01:03:12.420 times I was on a panel with them at Politicon they were fiery on stage but still 01:03:12.420 --> 01:03:16.580 jovie and amicable with each other once it was done charlie would have mourned us on had he been 01:03:16.580 --> 01:03:19.860 shot on his on on the other hand choose the mock charlie for shame 01:03:26.260 --> 01:03:34.660 they're trying to do it again and it's strange to me because while they're trying to do it again 01:03:35.780 --> 01:03:41.780 while they're trying to do it again the same like you have to respect charlie kirk 01:03:42.420 --> 01:03:50.700 I need you. I need to make my position very clear one more time. Okay. One. I never called 01:03:50.700 --> 01:03:59.100 for violence against Charlie Kirk. I was slated to debate him. Okay. I met him many times, 01:03:59.100 --> 01:04:06.020 but that doesn't mean I agreed with him. That doesn't mean that I thought his worldview 01:04:06.020 --> 01:04:11.020 He was anything but toxic, repulsive, odious, okay? 01:04:14.700 --> 01:04:16.660 I think the violence that he was subjected to 01:04:16.660 --> 01:04:18.540 was unacceptable, wrong. 01:04:18.540 --> 01:04:21.560 It's very clear, I've said that from the start. 01:04:23.460 --> 01:04:25.860 But the idea that like we have to sit here 01:04:25.860 --> 01:04:29.180 and rewrite his history, 01:04:29.180 --> 01:04:33.820 we have to sit here and act as though he was a figure 01:04:33.820 --> 01:04:46.940 that, that, you know, we have to show reverence to completely, completely ridiculous. Completely 01:04:46.940 --> 01:05:12.620 ridiculous. Anyway, especially when for the right, their goal has been to farm it to the 01:05:12.620 --> 01:05:23.540 best of their ability. For some on the right, there are people who, who wanted to, you know, 01:05:23.540 --> 01:05:31.100 take on his role in the Republican media ecosystem, many of which fought one another and are still 01:05:31.100 --> 01:05:39.100 warring with one another. For others, it was an opportunity for them to reframe their 01:05:39.100 --> 01:05:43.780 perspective like like the Nick Fuentes is of the world who have said way more 01:05:43.780 --> 01:05:49.660 heinous shit about Charlie Kirk than I ever fucking did right now those guys 01:05:49.660 --> 01:05:56.940 who spent their entire lives ankle biting Charlie are turning around and 01:05:56.940 --> 01:06:00.700 trying to present themselves as major defenders of his legacy Nick Fuentes 01:06:00.700 --> 01:06:07.980 being one of them it's fucking bullshit it's fucking bullshit and yes Erica 01:06:07.980 --> 01:06:15.380 Kirk's behavior in the aftermath of Charlie's assassination was also so insane that most 01:06:15.380 --> 01:06:20.880 normal people who either didn't know anything about Charlie Kirk or may have even liked Charlie 01:06:20.880 --> 01:06:23.600 Kirk thought that that was a weird thing to do. 01:06:23.600 --> 01:06:31.060 So why are we forgetting all of that? 01:06:31.060 --> 01:06:33.860 We're just going to rewrite all that history. 01:06:33.860 --> 01:06:52.100 I'm not going to let that happen. That's it. Anyway, um, do we have a playlist? Yeah, this, 01:06:52.100 --> 01:06:57.700 this you account will probably have a great, great time cooking all these people. Look at 01:06:57.700 --> 01:07:01.460 this. Rob Reiner was a loser. And actually some was also a loser. You got addicted to 01:07:01.460 --> 01:07:04.340 drugs and allegedly murders parents looks like Rob should have spent more time parenting 01:07:04.340 --> 01:07:05.980 and less time spreading. 01:07:05.980 --> 01:07:07.820 Russia conspiracy hoaxes about President Trump. 01:07:07.820 --> 01:07:11.180 I stand with President Trump. 01:07:11.180 --> 01:07:15.460 Every single one of these Republicans, every single one of these Republicans are monsters 01:07:15.460 --> 01:07:16.460 dude. 01:07:16.460 --> 01:07:22.460 Get the fuck out of here. 01:07:22.460 --> 01:07:29.460 anyway 01:07:29.460 --> 01:07:38.460 selective amnesia 01:07:38.460 --> 01:07:41.460 of 01:07:41.460 --> 01:07:50.460 the epoxy nose no bounds 01:07:50.460 --> 01:07:57.580 Anyway, do we have a playlist? 01:08:00.460 --> 01:08:11.580 Because I know that there's a lot of news going on. I know that Trump is doing the Indy 500 or 01:08:11.580 --> 01:08:18.460 whatever in DC, which my controversial opinion is it's actually not that bad. It's kind of cool. 01:08:18.460 --> 01:08:22.460 I'm going to get you fired from your job as a bus driver far right now. 01:08:22.460 --> 01:08:23.460 How dare you sing we are Charlie Kirk. 01:08:23.460 --> 01:08:25.460 That's basically a hate crime. 01:08:32.460 --> 01:08:34.460 Amnesia is too credible of a word. 01:08:34.460 --> 01:08:35.460 It's malicious. 01:08:35.460 --> 01:08:36.460 Oh, I agree. 01:08:38.460 --> 01:08:40.460 As an indie fan, I hate it. 01:08:40.460 --> 01:08:41.460 I hate it. 01:08:41.460 --> 01:08:42.460 I hate it. 01:08:42.460 --> 01:08:43.460 I hate it. 01:08:43.460 --> 01:08:44.460 I hate it. 01:08:44.460 --> 01:08:45.460 I hate it. 01:08:45.460 --> 01:08:46.460 I hate it. 01:08:46.460 --> 01:08:47.460 I hate it. 01:08:47.460 --> 01:08:51.620 They think you are the Senate leader? 01:08:51.620 --> 01:08:52.620 I know. 01:08:52.620 --> 01:08:53.620 I saw this. 01:08:53.620 --> 01:08:54.620 Of course. 01:08:54.620 --> 01:08:57.900 They're fucking insane, dude. 01:08:57.900 --> 01:08:59.060 They're so insane. 01:08:59.060 --> 01:09:04.140 Abdul Sayed is actually the stocking horse for Hassan Piker. 01:09:04.140 --> 01:09:07.820 So the real election that comes down to the Senate, in every single state, whether 01:09:07.820 --> 01:09:12.740 it's South Carolina, Darling Graham, up in Alaska with Dan Sullivan, the election 01:09:12.740 --> 01:09:17.260 is going to be between who's going to run the Senate, John Thune or Hassan Piker. 01:09:17.260 --> 01:09:20.900 The Democrats have become the party of Hassan Piker. 01:09:20.900 --> 01:09:29.380 He's a violence, rhetoric-driven, Islamist, apologist, Jew-hating bigot. 01:09:29.380 --> 01:09:35.100 And I think that the Democratic Party are trying to walk past Hassan Piker and pretend 01:09:35.100 --> 01:09:40.760 that he wasn't, in fact, the guy who pushed Abdul-Tahyad over the top and represents 01:09:40.760 --> 01:09:43.220 young Democrats in the DSA. 01:09:43.220 --> 01:09:46.340 So the DSA has taken over the Democratic Party. 01:09:46.340 --> 01:09:48.580 or Chuck Schumer, I thought bad for Ed Markey. 01:09:48.580 --> 01:09:50.740 Ed Markey didn't even know what AI was last night 01:09:50.740 --> 01:09:51.580 in that debate. 01:09:51.580 --> 01:09:53.420 He was so clueless in that debate was. 01:09:53.420 --> 01:09:54.740 Yeah, I'm the, I'm the. 01:09:55.860 --> 01:09:57.200 You can close it. 01:09:57.200 --> 01:09:59.340 They don't want nothing. 01:09:59.340 --> 01:10:00.980 Okay, that's fine. 01:10:01.860 --> 01:10:03.860 Yeah, I'm the new Senate leader chat. 01:10:09.260 --> 01:10:11.140 Polls are so bad in Texas. 01:10:11.140 --> 01:10:12.660 So I think Democrats are scared 01:10:12.660 --> 01:10:13.860 that they're talking a good game. 01:10:13.860 --> 01:10:15.180 They don't have much money. 01:10:15.180 --> 01:10:19.420 they had terrible candidates and they got the burden of a son piker and i can't 01:10:19.420 --> 01:10:21.580 stop talking about him 01:10:21.580 --> 01:10:24.300 uh... else i had put on the sauce on piker suit 01:10:24.300 --> 01:10:27.340 had him come in the night before stuck around the day after 01:10:27.340 --> 01:10:31.100 now he's stuck with them for the whole action and most of michigan is saying 01:10:31.100 --> 01:10:32.360 that's not us 01:10:32.360 --> 01:10:33.340 yet even have 01:10:33.340 --> 01:10:40.340 your fantasy land 01:10:40.340 --> 01:10:52.540 Yeah, bro.

It's on 01:11:02.860 --> 01:11:05.620 Piker mentions in the first segment and now they're opening a new segment with 01:11:05.620 --> 01:11:12.020 another mention. But the Democrats are certainly getting in their own way. I do want to ask you 01:11:12.020 --> 01:11:16.980 how you, how you can explain to us tonight, your Democratic colleagues in the United States, 01:11:16.980 --> 01:11:22.420 and particularly those who are Jewish, allowing people like Hassan Piker and Abdul El Sayed 01:11:22.420 --> 01:11:27.620 into the party to say what they're saying about Israel, a system. Dude, what the fuck kind of 01:11:27.620 --> 01:11:34.980 timeline are we in right now? We're mentioning news going after you. Look, look, the entire 01:11:34.980 --> 01:11:43.300 point of this is it's a disciplining operation. Okay, do not fucking say anything about Israel, 01:11:43.300 --> 01:11:48.820 because if we do, if you say anything about Israel, if you're a prominent critic of Israel, 01:11:49.620 --> 01:11:54.180 okay, we will make your life a living hell. If you're a prominent critic of Israel, 01:11:54.740 --> 01:12:00.900 then we will literally come after your family. We will consistently yell about you. 01:12:00.900 --> 01:12:06.360 you. Okay. Check this out. I was glad to be there for the performance. Turns out Fox news 01:12:06.360 --> 01:12:19.920 was at the San Francisco event. Yeah. The whole point is they're trying to get someone 01:12:19.920 --> 01:12:34.640 activated enough to come and kill me. Okay. That's it. It is so that it is so that it is 01:12:34.640 --> 01:12:44.920 a lesson, a lesson for all to see and hear and acknowledge that there are certain forces 01:12:44.920 --> 01:12:49.880 you are not supposed to mess with in society, okay? You're not supposed to go after corporate 01:12:49.880 --> 01:12:56.640 interests that hard. You're not supposed to go after Israel that hard. You, your voices 01:12:56.640 --> 01:13:05.880 should never be heard because at the end of the day, I am simply a megaphone. Okay? 01:13:05.880 --> 01:13:13.840 I am just a megaphone for your anger. I am just a platform for your frustrations. 01:13:13.840 --> 01:13:17.480 They obviously can't go after all of us. 01:13:17.480 --> 01:13:22.920 So what they're trying to do is, is, you know, take care of someone who is a large enough 01:13:22.920 --> 01:13:28.960 platform. 01:13:28.960 --> 01:13:29.960 That's it. 01:13:29.960 --> 01:13:30.960 Yeah. 01:13:30.960 --> 01:13:34.240 I can't wait for us on the gate, Kirk. 01:13:34.240 --> 01:13:35.240 It's distasteful. 01:13:35.240 --> 01:13:37.160 It's on new Charlie. 01:13:37.160 --> 01:13:39.480 Real conversations with them had real conversation with them. 01:13:39.480 --> 01:13:40.720 And now he marks the death of him. 01:13:40.720 --> 01:14:03.640 sociopath. It's ridiculous. Yeah, guy who also hated Charlie Kergan is larping 100%. 01:14:03.640 --> 01:14:06.840 If a right-wing extremist assassinate the most prolific youth organizer on the left 01:14:06.840 --> 01:14:09.640 and under a democratic administration, they would outlaw conservative politics by the 01:14:09.640 --> 01:14:13.020 the next morning, yet we allow Sompiker and the DSA to gloat over the murder of Charlie 01:14:13.020 --> 01:14:18.280 Kirk with impunity. No one is gloating over the murder of Charlie Kirk with impunity. People 01:14:18.280 --> 01:14:25.420 are making fun of the ridiculous ways in which the Republican media machine tried to 01:14:25.420 --> 01:14:37.000 use this as an opportunity to force reverence for a right wing podcaster. Okay, that's 01:14:37.000 --> 01:14:46.920 it. That's what this is about. That's what this is about. That's what this has always been about. 01:14:54.280 --> 01:15:01.400 The pearl clutching is next level. I know. And there's, it's so, it's so nasty to like not just 01:15:01.400 --> 01:15:05.880 the pearl clutching, the pearl clutching is one thing. It's annoying. It's a nuisance. I think 01:15:05.880 --> 01:15:12.600 most people understand what's going on, though, and the people who refuse, or the people who 01:15:12.600 --> 01:15:17.640 are pearl-clutching from the liberal side are doing it because they have their own personal agenda. 01:15:19.320 --> 01:15:24.600 That's whatever. What is really frustrating in general is whenever people just, like, 01:15:24.600 --> 01:15:31.480 clip stuff that I'm talking about, right, I'll go on like a long rant talking about how 01:15:31.480 --> 01:15:38.040 Zionism isn't Judaism and how tying all Jews to to Israel's actions is 01:15:38.040 --> 01:15:41.680 increasing anti-Semitism in the country and they'll be like well it's on one's 01:15:41.680 --> 01:15:49.160 bad things that happen to Jews like no I don't actually I don't 01:15:49.160 --> 01:16:05.960 And what's frustrating about it is that there are liberals out there who are not recognizing 01:16:05.960 --> 01:16:22.360 what's going on, and leaning into the right wing, leaning into the right wing insanity. 01:16:22.360 --> 01:16:26.200 The Jews are regrettably bringing anti-Semitism upon themselves with their bad politics slash 01:16:26.200 --> 01:16:29.160 behavior is a classic argument used by anti-Semites including Hitler. 01:16:29.160 --> 01:16:32.360 I don't think the Jews are doing anything, but obviously Jewish extremism in Israel is 01:16:32.360 --> 01:16:35.920 harming the Jewish image worldwide just like Muslim extremists harm Muslims don't deny 01:16:35.920 --> 01:16:49.080 the obvious just for one pet issue in my opinion. Yeah. 01:16:49.080 --> 01:16:52.880 And then near attendant does this, it's a genuine advisement in the spirit of goodwill to tell 01:16:52.880 --> 01:16:56.600 any leader to stay 100 miles away from fighter was morally repugnant and repelled into the 01:16:56.600 --> 01:17:09.080 media and voter. Have you ever seen, with the exception of like Donald Trump, have you 01:17:09.080 --> 01:17:17.360 ever seen a figure in American politics get attacked this aggressively by the entirety 01:17:17.360 --> 01:17:23.640 of the right, the far right, and also centrist Democrats in establishment media? And it wasn't 01:17:23.640 --> 01:17:31.160 far right that attacked Donald Trump, obviously. They were the only people who were on his side. 01:17:33.160 --> 01:17:41.240 I have never, maybe it's tough for me. It's tough for me to, you know, take an unbiased impartial 01:17:42.120 --> 01:17:44.520 position on this because I'm in the crosshairs myself. 01:17:46.760 --> 01:17:48.680 But it blows my fucking mind. 01:17:48.680 --> 01:17:59.640 It blows my mind how ruthless these people are. Last time I saw someone get this aggressively pursued, 01:17:59.640 --> 01:18:06.320 it was Bernie Sanders in 2016 and then Bernie Sanders in 2020. It was the far right, it was the 01:18:06.320 --> 01:18:12.200 right wing, and it was the entire establishment media on the liberal side as well that just 01:18:12.200 --> 01:18:20.160 would attack him endlessly. And Bernie Sanders was running. He was running for 01:18:20.160 --> 01:18:29.120 president, which again, still unacceptable the way that they came after him. But 01:18:29.120 --> 01:18:36.520 yeah, this is a disciplining operation. This is a disciplining operation. What we 01:18:36.520 --> 01:18:41.960 have to do is stay strong, understand exactly why they're doing this, and 01:18:41.960 --> 01:18:46.680 and not yield and not bend to their desires. 01:18:46.680 --> 01:18:48.920 All right, let's talk about another state 01:18:48.920 --> 01:18:50.960 that you raised, another big state in Michigan, 01:18:50.960 --> 01:18:53.280 the face off between Democrat Abdul Al-Sayed 01:18:53.280 --> 01:18:55.960 and former Congressman Mike Rogers. 01:18:55.960 --> 01:19:00.240 The NRSC continues to put out social media posts 01:19:00.240 --> 01:19:02.680 claiming that Abdul Al-Sayed has quote unquote, 01:19:02.680 --> 01:19:06.280 "'terrorist ties," and yet there is no evidence 01:19:06.280 --> 01:19:07.800 that he has terrorist ties. 01:19:07.800 --> 01:19:12.080 Senator, should the NRSD stop running those ads? 01:19:13.960 --> 01:19:18.560 Well, we know without question that he had family members 01:19:18.560 --> 01:19:21.600 who helped resource Osama bin Laden. 01:19:21.600 --> 01:19:26.440 We know without question that he campaigns with Piker 01:19:26.440 --> 01:19:30.320 who said at one point that America deserved 9-11. 01:19:37.800 --> 01:19:41.720 I mean, what can I say about this, dude? 01:19:41.720 --> 01:19:49.000 He literally, this is a, this is a prominent Republican politician actively claiming that 01:19:49.000 --> 01:19:53.640 I'm a fucking terrorist, like doubling down on the, on the law. 01:19:53.640 --> 01:19:55.640 Stay focused on Al-Sayed, though. 01:19:55.640 --> 01:19:59.840 Let's stay focused on Al-Sayed and what he has said and believes in. 01:19:59.840 --> 01:20:00.840 There's no head in... 01:20:00.840 --> 01:20:01.840 There's no head in... 01:20:01.840 --> 01:20:02.840 There's no head in... 01:20:02.840 --> 01:20:03.840 There's no head in... 01:20:03.840 --> 01:20:04.840 There's no head in... 01:20:04.840 --> 01:20:05.840 There's no head in... 01:20:05.840 --> 01:20:06.840 There's no head in... 01:20:06.840 --> 01:20:08.960 It comes down to APAC, right? 01:20:08.960 --> 01:20:12.440 Yes, of course, it comes down to not just APAC, 01:20:12.440 --> 01:20:17.440 but the entire media apparatus that Israel deploys, 01:20:20.240 --> 01:20:23.360 like Israel sympathizers deploy in general. 01:20:24.200 --> 01:20:26.040 That's also part of the reason why 01:20:26.040 --> 01:20:28.040 Kristen Weller doesn't turn around and go, 01:20:28.040 --> 01:20:29.960 are you calling an American citizen 01:20:29.960 --> 01:20:32.240 who is a podcaster, a terrorist? 01:20:32.240 --> 01:20:40.560 Because like the normal response to that is not just to turn around and be like, you know, 01:20:40.560 --> 01:20:43.640 let's focus on Abdel El Sayed because he is focusing on Abdel El Sayed. 01:20:43.640 --> 01:20:54.920 He's saying Abdel El Sayed has allegiances with terrorists, okay? 01:20:54.920 --> 01:20:56.420 It's nutty. 01:20:56.420 --> 01:20:59.600 Like dude, think about it this way. 01:20:59.600 --> 01:21:04.240 Charlie Kirk was linked up with every single Republican campaign. 01:21:04.240 --> 01:21:06.040 He was in the White House all the damn time. 01:21:06.680 --> 01:21:09.880 He was in the White House while talking about how Islam is a sword to the neck of 01:21:09.880 --> 01:21:11.360 America, right? 01:21:12.320 --> 01:21:15.840 And no one turned around and said, Hey, this is kind of fucked up. 01:21:15.920 --> 01:21:17.260 Liberals didn't even do that. 01:21:17.260 --> 01:21:20.140 Liberals didn't even turn around and say, this is kind of fucked up that 01:21:20.440 --> 01:21:22.320 Charlie Kirk is doing this kind of thing. 01:21:25.600 --> 01:21:29.400 Uh, while also simultaneously hanging out with as many, uh, politicians, 01:21:29.400 --> 01:21:32.440 many prominent policies campaigning alongside them, throwing events. 01:21:32.880 --> 01:21:34.080 He was a part of the system. 01:21:35.820 --> 01:21:38.880 If someone were to turn around and say, Charlie Kirk is a terrorist. 01:21:39.640 --> 01:21:42.480 I'm fairly certain that even liberal media would say, okay, 01:21:42.480 --> 01:21:43.520 that's a bridge too far. 01:21:43.520 --> 01:21:44.360 I don't think he's a terrorist. 01:21:44.520 --> 01:21:46.960 They regarded him as a conservative activist. 01:21:47.000 --> 01:21:48.880 He was a part of January six. 01:21:49.200 --> 01:21:54.480 He bust people in during January six and liberal still consistently 01:21:54.480 --> 01:21:57.480 considered him a conservative activist. 01:21:57.480 --> 01:22:05.400 But on the other side, if you're an anti-Sinus, if you're a prominent anti-Sinus and a prominent 01:22:05.400 --> 01:22:16.520 Republican, the head of the NRSC says, Hasan Piker is a terrorist. 01:22:16.520 --> 01:22:22.800 There's no like, there's no moment of reflection, no moment of like, hold on, what are you 01:22:22.800 --> 01:22:36.800 talking about. It's just Islamophobia. There's no other way to, there's no other way to cover 01:22:36.800 --> 01:22:45.680 it. And I know the, the black folk in my audience understand exactly what's going on. Brown folk 01:22:45.680 --> 01:22:49.520 in my audience know exactly what's going on. Muslims in the audience know exactly what's 01:22:49.520 --> 01:22:54.560 going on. It's just, there's nothing you could do about it. The, these guys, the, this double 01:22:54.560 --> 01:22:59.060 standard is glaringly obvious. They're just not going to solve it. They're not going to 01:22:59.060 --> 01:23:06.800 solve it anytime soon, especially because currently it's unbelievably beneficial to, to, uh, churning 01:23:06.800 --> 01:23:13.120 out, Hosbara, turning out Zionist propaganda as the Israeli foreign minister has openly 01:23:13.120 --> 01:23:19.000 admitted that their goal now is not to get people to defend Israel necessarily, but 01:23:19.000 --> 01:23:25.720 just really dial up the Islamophobia in the Western world because they recognize that they have no success 01:23:25.720 --> 01:23:28.360 in getting people to defend Israel. It's not going to happen. 01:23:29.960 --> 01:23:35.400 Birds of a feather flock together. The company you keep does matter. We all know that. That's 01:23:35.400 --> 01:23:39.640 something we learn in elementary school. Well, let's go to where he stands on the issues though. 01:23:39.640 --> 01:23:45.480 There's a reason why even former Biden administration folks are joining with Republicans. 01:23:45.480 --> 01:23:52.840 Yeah, they're talking about Michael La Rosa, right? They're using like Jill Biden's press secretary 01:23:53.400 --> 01:23:54.440 who got fired 01:23:57.080 --> 01:24:03.240 as a, as a person. Like there's noteworthy people on the Biden camp that are against 01:24:03.240 --> 01:24:09.080 Abdul Al Sayed. Like this is what I mean. It's a fairly sophisticated smear operation against 01:24:09.080 --> 01:24:19.400 Abdul Al Sayed, that they're deploying. And part of that revolves around getting the liberals 01:24:19.400 --> 01:24:25.560 to also play ball, touching on issues that they care about, at least liberals in positions of power. 01:24:27.320 --> 01:24:33.560 Liberals in the media are also very precious about their favorite emotional support apartheid 01:24:33.560 --> 01:24:40.440 state. So they can always use that as a as a way to bring people seemingly to their side, 01:24:41.320 --> 01:24:47.640 even if these people are not a representative enough force, right, amongst the masses. 01:24:49.400 --> 01:24:55.160 Publicans and hosting fundraisers throughout Michigan to support Mike Reuters. Here's one 01:24:55.160 --> 01:25:01.000 of the reasons why. We've got a candidate in Abil El Said who wants to abolish 01:25:01.000 --> 01:25:08.520 he wants to defund the police here's a candidate so radical that even Democrats in Michigan 01:25:08.520 --> 01:25:13.800 are joining forces for the first time with Republicans to elect Mike Rogers. Just to be 01:25:13.800 --> 01:25:17.880 very clear, there is no evidence that Oslo supports any terrorist organization. 01:25:20.200 --> 01:25:22.600 Yep, birds of a feather. Who is Epstein's best friend? 01:25:23.640 --> 01:25:27.240 Fact is Republicans protect and support pedophiles with that. They lost every ounce of 01:25:27.240 --> 01:25:32.040 credibility. Tim Scott just got through endorsing the lying, cheating, thieving, and more immoral 01:25:32.040 --> 01:25:41.720 compacts. And so maybe he's right about birds of a feather. What Welker should have mentioned 01:25:41.720 --> 01:25:45.560 on day one of his presidency, Trump pardon hundreds of domestic terrorists. So fuck off. 01:25:46.280 --> 01:25:50.280 Piker has no terrorized, but it is true that the Trump regime is a fascist and by far the 01:25:50.280 --> 01:25:54.680 most politically motivated violence is on the right. So it's actually Trump and Mike Rogers 01:25:54.680 --> 01:25:57.880 and Tim Scott for that matter with fascist and terrorist ties. Yeah. 01:26:00.320 --> 01:26:02.560 Piker's not a terrorist either. What idiots? 01:26:13.360 --> 01:26:17.600 These people are are monsters. They're monsters and they're losing. 01:26:18.360 --> 01:26:22.080 But until we win, they're just going to keep chirping. Okay. 01:26:24.680 --> 01:26:29.240 until we win, they are going to try to do their very best. Yeah. 01:26:29.240 --> 01:26:33.000 Manthiasa also had another good point about this. Democrats on my timeline claiming the 01:26:33.000 --> 01:26:36.120 party should distance them from, uh, this is from a song because we were singing a song 01:26:36.120 --> 01:26:39.840 mocking Charlie Kirk, but here's Bill Maher and a New York Times reporter joking about 01:26:39.840 --> 01:26:44.360 the death of Jason Arday and the audience are laughing. Will Dems boycott Maher now? 01:26:44.360 --> 01:26:49.960 Of course they won't because they agree. By the way, it's quite instructive that 01:26:49.960 --> 01:26:57.320 Islamophobia doesn't just stop like that kind of racism that kind of bigotry never stays with just 01:26:57.320 --> 01:27:05.000 Muslims, right? Because those people are also anti-black too. They're also anti-black as well. 01:27:10.040 --> 01:27:16.760 These guys are never just against Muslims, just like they're never just against transgender people, 01:27:16.760 --> 01:27:23.960 right? It's never just one kind of bigotry that they stick to. It's all of the bigotry. 01:27:24.680 --> 01:27:29.720 So for a lot of people who think, oh, well, we can find allegiances here with these guys, 01:27:29.720 --> 01:27:37.000 because they also hate Muslims or they're also pro-Israel. If you think that you're not 01:27:37.000 --> 01:27:43.640 next on the chopping block, you're wrong. It never just stays with Muslims. That's why 01:27:43.640 --> 01:27:50.440 why I can't comprehend it when I see like, I can't comprehend it when I see people who 01:27:50.440 --> 01:27:55.480 themselves are from a minority background that also entertain Islamophobia, things like that. 01:27:57.080 --> 01:27:59.960 These people hate you too, big dog. Fuck you, me. 01:27:59.960 --> 01:28:14.200 Yeah, and it's the reason that is my last question for you, because you've been a part 01:28:14.200 --> 01:28:19.200 of many a media frenzy covering what you have to say, what do you make of the media frenzy 01:28:19.200 --> 01:28:23.560 around Hassan Piker right now and his role on a couple of campaign trails for lots of 01:28:23.560 --> 01:28:26.360 progressive challengers? 01:28:26.360 --> 01:28:30.720 To be honest with you, I find it kind of weird. 01:28:30.720 --> 01:28:31.920 Like he's a streamer. 01:28:31.920 --> 01:28:33.200 This guy is not an elected official 01:28:33.200 --> 01:28:34.720 and there's a lot of elected officials out there 01:28:34.720 --> 01:28:38.400 that are saying incredibly horrible thing. 01:28:38.400 --> 01:28:41.200 Like look at this Andy Biggs conversation, right? 01:28:41.200 --> 01:28:42.320 Like you have two candidates, 01:28:42.320 --> 01:28:43.560 one who's the hugest homophobe 01:28:43.560 --> 01:28:45.480 and one who is clearly an anti-semite 01:28:45.480 --> 01:28:47.360 and we can't seem as a party to acknowledge 01:28:47.360 --> 01:28:50.480 that both of those things are really, really bad, right? 01:28:50.480 --> 01:28:53.680 And I think that it's fascinating 01:28:53.680 --> 01:28:55.640 that people are so obsessed with a streamer 01:28:55.640 --> 01:28:58.040 that the median voter knows nothing about, you know, that's 01:28:59.440 --> 01:29:00.760 you know, I'm watching the video. 01:29:02.800 --> 01:29:08.760 dream of the nineties is alive in Portland.

We're defending millennials. No, this is chat. This, I think is a photo 01:31:52.240 --> 01:32:01.520 of Austin's kitchen. Like I'm not even joking. He, I had not been here, right? And I clocked 01:32:01.520 --> 01:32:10.560 it from hundreds of miles away. It is, but Austin, you are gay. Is your house the 01:32:10.560 --> 01:32:16.040 go straight thing about you it's not even guys it's not gay it's not straight 01:32:16.040 --> 01:32:22.800 it's nothing I don't know how else to describe it it straight up like I want 01:32:22.800 --> 01:32:29.120 to show you something okay like like I want to show you the artwork inside of 01:32:29.120 --> 01:32:39.120 a millennial gray home okay oh my god it's exactly like this oh that this this 01:32:39.120 --> 01:32:47.120 He has stuff like this on the walls. I'm not even kidding. All of his art, all of his art is black and white. 01:32:47.120 --> 01:32:55.120 The entire home. All of the art is black and white. There's like, there's like lettering art as well. 01:32:55.120 --> 01:33:05.120 Yes. Yes. It's shit like this. I swear to God. I swear to God. 01:33:05.120 --> 01:33:27.120 It's default. It's like the millennial gray default build out. And it's awesome. I, I, I don't know how he did it. I don't know why he's so consistent. I don't know how he was capable of this level of consistency. 01:33:35.120 --> 01:33:48.420 It's also funny because one of his rooms, he calls the Frank Sinatra room and I went 01:33:48.420 --> 01:33:51.860 into the room I was like, why the fuck is the Frank Sinatra room? 01:33:51.860 --> 01:33:56.640 Which is again, hilarious that one of his bedrooms is called the Frank Sinatra room 01:33:56.640 --> 01:33:57.640 in and of itself. 01:33:57.640 --> 01:34:04.340 And it's because he has a life magazine that's in one of these like magazine pouches 01:34:04.340 --> 01:34:06.740 with Frank Sinatra in the cover. 01:34:06.740 --> 01:34:08.120 That's it, that's the only reason why 01:34:08.120 --> 01:34:10.520 that's called the Frank Sinatra Room. 01:34:10.520 --> 01:34:12.760 Austin is one of a kind, he really is. 01:34:12.760 --> 01:34:14.560 He really is, he really is. 01:34:22.120 --> 01:34:23.400 Incredible stuff. 01:34:23.400 --> 01:34:24.400 Not to diss us on. 01:34:24.400 --> 01:34:26.280 I think you would probably agree with me generally 01:34:26.280 --> 01:34:28.520 that like they don't know who he is. 01:34:28.520 --> 01:34:30.160 And I think it speaks to the fact 01:34:30.160 --> 01:34:32.960 that a lot of moderates in our party 01:34:32.960 --> 01:34:44.280 Don't have an actual vision that they are fighting for other than the center because they're constantly repositioning themselves on the political spectrum to say, you know, I'm going to be in the middle, but the middle is always changing. 01:34:44.680 --> 01:34:48.020 And instead what people are looking for is somebody that actually offers a new vision. 01:34:51.160 --> 01:34:55.820 I'm an interior designer for opposite of 90% of my job is matching different grades with each other and I want to kill myself. 01:34:55.880 --> 01:34:57.920 Yeah, you and QT clocking his house. 01:34:57.920 --> 01:34:59.920 I 01:35:06.320 --> 01:35:08.320 Wait hold on 01:35:08.960 --> 01:35:15.040 Wait yo what we clocked it so why is it called millennial gray because no one likes it anymore 01:35:15.280 --> 01:35:21.280 It's also very basic. No one likes it anymore. No, I don't know how to tell you that. Do you not like it? 01:35:21.520 --> 01:35:24.800 It's giving starter home. No. No, it's not giving 01:35:24.800 --> 01:35:27.640 things. This is why interventions don't work. 01:35:27.640 --> 01:35:32.280 They just say no. I love my gray and I also have white cabinets. 01:35:32.280 --> 01:35:40.640 Okay, so they have black handles. Yes. Yeah. What's crazy is I had never been inside of 01:35:40.640 --> 01:35:48.000 this home. Okay, I had never been inside this home and yet I knew. I knew ever I clocked 01:35:48.000 --> 01:35:56.800 it and it down to it down to all of the upholstery okay down to the down to the upholstery down 01:35:56.800 --> 01:35:59.680 to down to the wire it's it's incredible 01:35:59.680 --> 01:36:10.520 I'm not. Yes. 01:36:10.520 --> 01:36:14.520 You got one of those modern tubs that look like it's like this. 01:36:14.520 --> 01:36:15.520 Oh yeah. 01:36:15.520 --> 01:36:17.280 Are you a freestanding one? 01:36:17.280 --> 01:36:18.280 Yeah. 01:36:18.280 --> 01:36:19.280 Oh yeah. 01:36:19.280 --> 01:36:21.000 How do you know this? 01:36:21.000 --> 01:36:25.280 When you look at my house with... 01:36:25.280 --> 01:36:26.280 Yeah. 01:36:26.280 --> 01:36:27.280 Yeah. 01:36:27.280 --> 01:36:40.800 Yeah. That's what it is. All right. But in me. So Donald Trump is, uh, did a rally a 01:36:40.800 --> 01:36:49.320 day ago or I guess two days ago at this point. Yeah. August 21st, 821, a day that will live 01:36:49.320 --> 01:36:55.320 in infamy. And in the rally, he called me out. He called off the l side out. He said 01:36:55.320 --> 01:37:02.380 Abdul El Sayed's mom gave money to Osama bin Laden or some shit. Just like they are, they 01:37:02.380 --> 01:37:20.580 are doing everything they possibly can to claim that Abdul El Sayed is, is, you know, 01:37:20.580 --> 01:37:28.900 a terrorist. Yeah, he called me out on a 21. He really did a day that will live in infamy. 01:37:28.900 --> 01:37:33.980 A day that will live in infamy on this broadcast. Okay, no matter what, we can't get away from 01:37:33.980 --> 01:37:36.020 the 821 curse. 01:37:36.020 --> 01:37:41.700 It's bizarre seeing the same scapegoating that content creators deploy for years become 01:37:41.700 --> 01:37:49.460 a genuine strategy for the midterms. 01:37:49.460 --> 01:37:53.860 ask, just watch database, ask Scott Jennings of an indie car is what Trump should be focusing 01:37:53.860 --> 01:37:57.340 on voters, main concern is affordability. And that man's answer was he saw a video on 01:37:57.340 --> 01:38:03.060 social media of a Sompiker celebrating the death of that podcaster. 01:38:03.060 --> 01:38:07.820 I mean, isn't this one of the accounts that fucking hates me though? I feel like even 01:38:07.820 --> 01:38:37.780 they're coming to my side a little bit. Yeah, the but has on has allowed slop tubers to unironically 01:38:37.780 --> 01:38:46.100 get away with like pedophilia allegations, right? The, the but Hassan Hassan derangement 01:38:46.100 --> 01:38:52.020 syndrome has been such a powerful force on YouTube that has anchored a lot of this resentment 01:38:52.020 --> 01:38:59.060 that has been a deflection method quite successful deflection method at times. And it's kind 01:38:59.060 --> 01:39:07.300 of wild that we're now seeing it with prominent American politicians, prominent commentators 01:39:07.300 --> 01:39:14.080 in mainstream media, they'll be like, Hey, this is a murder trial. You're, you're gonna 01:39:14.080 --> 01:39:19.240 go to prison for life. You, you murdered your wife and your children and, and, and you'll 01:39:19.240 --> 01:39:28.780 have the defendant get up there and be like, well, your honor, but a song. That's where 01:39:28.780 --> 01:39:33.100 we're at. That's literally where we're at. I never, I did not realize that this 01:39:33.100 --> 01:39:38.700 This is where we were going to get to, but we are there. 01:39:38.700 --> 01:39:39.700 We're there. 01:39:39.700 --> 01:39:40.700 All right. 01:39:40.700 --> 01:39:43.300 Here's Donald Trump doing the, Abdul al-Sayed is a terrorist stick. 01:39:43.300 --> 01:39:54.740 Michigan, the Democrat nominee for Senate, Abdul al-Sayed, Abdul admitted openly that 01:39:54.740 --> 01:40:02.200 he wants to pack the Supreme Court with 23 far left justices to shred the Constitution 01:40:02.200 --> 01:40:08.740 of the United States. His sister, very close relationship, celebrated the terror slaughter 01:40:08.740 --> 01:40:14.760 of babies on October 7th. His mother worked for an organization that gave hundreds of 01:40:14.760 --> 01:40:20.760 thousands of dollars to a gentleman named Osama Bin Laden. Have you heard of him? Knocked 01:40:20.760 --> 01:40:25.720 down the World Trade Center. She gave him a lot of money and he recently campaigned 01:40:25.720 --> 01:40:39.840 with a communist fanatic who says that America deserved 9 11. We deserved it. I never in 01:40:39.840 --> 01:40:46.960 2019. On that faithful afternoon, I was reacting to Dan Crenshaw saying all that dumb shit 01:40:46.960 --> 01:40:55.260 on the Joe Rogan experience. I never thought that that seven years later, the president 01:40:55.260 --> 01:41:07.420 of the United States of America would refer to it exactly seven years after the fact. 01:41:07.420 --> 01:41:10.140 Seven years to the day. 01:41:10.140 --> 01:41:19.160 Now, of course, what's frustrating about this is Donald Trump is called in on the morning 01:41:19.160 --> 01:41:28.780 of 9 11 with joy, with Glee and his voice to a local news station to talk about how Trump 01:41:28.780 --> 01:41:36.900 tower was now the tallest tower on Wall Street. Now that the twin towers have been destroyed. 01:41:36.900 --> 01:41:47.460 So you know, but I guess it doesn't really matter. They get to say whatever the fuck 01:41:47.460 --> 01:41:54.860 they want their Republicans, right? Republicans get to own patriotism. They get to own, uh, 01:41:54.860 --> 01:42:00.620 they get to own 9 11. No one else is allowed to talk about it. 01:42:00.620 --> 01:42:08.820 All that death destruction in Texas, the Democrat nominee for Senate said he hates Christianity. 01:42:08.820 --> 01:42:15.320 And that's the 10 commandments are a form of fascism. The 10 commandments are fascism. 01:42:15.320 --> 01:42:24.200 By the way, if we were treating Trump, if we were treating Trump in the way that the media 01:42:24.200 --> 01:42:26.880 treats me, this is how it would look. 01:42:26.880 --> 01:42:33.920 America deserved 9-11, we deserved it, and we deserve all that death destruction. 01:42:33.920 --> 01:42:40.140 Wow, I can't believe that the president said that. 01:42:40.140 --> 01:42:42.660 Can you believe that the president said that? 01:42:42.660 --> 01:42:45.820 How fucked up. 01:42:45.820 --> 01:42:46.820 Right. 01:42:46.820 --> 01:42:49.340 Like this is literally what the republicans are doing. 01:42:49.340 --> 01:42:54.700 This is what the republican midterm strategy is, okay. 01:42:54.700 --> 01:42:59.420 Unironically and at least he's the president so doing it to him makes a little bit more 01:42:59.420 --> 01:43:01.340 sense. 01:43:01.340 --> 01:43:05.180 They're doing this to me a fucking Twitch streamer. 01:43:12.660 --> 01:43:19.060 Yeah, this is when he called in. 01:43:19.060 --> 01:43:25.420 You have one of the landmark buildings down in the financial district, Forty Wall Street. 01:43:25.420 --> 01:43:28.460 Did you have any damage or did you know what's happened down there? 01:43:28.460 --> 01:43:29.980 Well, it was an amazing phone call. 01:43:29.980 --> 01:43:35.140 Forty Wall Street actually was the second tallest building in downtown Manhattan and 01:43:35.140 --> 01:43:39.300 it was actually before the World Trade Center was the tallest and then when they built 01:43:39.300 --> 01:43:51.780 the World Trade Center became known as the second tallest and now it's the tallest. 01:44:09.300 --> 01:44:32.660 Just clipping sound bites. 01:44:32.660 --> 01:44:45.900 clipping soundbites out of context and then getting mad at them. 01:44:45.900 --> 01:44:52.460 By the way, he said that on 9 11 the morning of 9 11 man, I love you, but you cannot go 01:44:52.460 --> 01:44:55.740 around campaigning with politicians and still call yourself a twitch streamer. I am just 01:44:55.740 --> 01:45:06.860 Twitch streamer. I am okay. But regardless, regardless, that's not a cop out. Like my point 01:45:06.860 --> 01:45:11.700 is, I'm not, I'm not saying, Oh, I'm just a Twitch streamer is like a, is some kind of 01:45:11.700 --> 01:45:18.400 cop out. It is ridiculous. Even if I was a fucking politician is saying this shit. Okay. 01:45:18.400 --> 01:45:24.460 Even if I was a politician, the obviously the expectations very different from a politician. 01:45:24.460 --> 01:45:40.540 right? But like, even then, you should look at what the Republicans are saying and doing and 01:45:40.540 --> 01:45:46.700 then figure out whether or not what I'm saying and doing is anywhere near as crazy as what 01:45:46.700 --> 01:45:54.540 they're saying and doing is. Do you understand? Because it's not. That's the other side of the 01:45:54.540 --> 01:46:02.620 story that's also frustrating. Because people are not even comparing what my worldview is or what my 01:46:02.620 --> 01:46:08.060 statements are and applying the same fucking standard to the goddamn president of the United 01:46:08.060 --> 01:46:09.580 States of America. It's crazy. 01:46:16.700 --> 01:46:45.700 It's so frustrating this double standard makes me more mad than anything else like I'm not I'm not saying this because I'm at the heart of this, you know, obviously that that changes it a little bit for me. 01:46:46.700 --> 01:46:55.940 But, this is something that I've been pissed off about my whole damn life dude. 01:46:55.940 --> 01:46:58.420 It's not new. 01:46:58.420 --> 01:47:02.460 I hated it when they were doing this shit. 01:47:02.460 --> 01:47:06.900 I hated it when they were doing this shit to Democrats as well. 01:47:06.900 --> 01:47:09.700 Democrats that I don't even like that much. 01:47:09.700 --> 01:47:10.900 I can't stand it. 01:47:10.900 --> 01:47:12.660 I can't stand this double standard. 01:47:12.660 --> 01:47:18.820 They just constantly cry bully and the Democrats always let them get away with it. 01:47:18.820 --> 01:47:22.640 We have to stop with this. 01:47:22.640 --> 01:47:23.640 Stop backing down. 01:47:23.640 --> 01:47:24.640 Stop backing down. 01:47:24.640 --> 01:47:26.140 He's a disaster. 01:47:26.140 --> 01:47:29.520 That guy, that guy is a disaster. 01:47:29.520 --> 01:47:35.000 And just last week, the entire Democrat National Committee voted to abolish ICE, meaning 01:47:35.000 --> 01:47:40.480 the official Democrat Party platform now is on top of everything else. 01:47:40.480 --> 01:47:47.080 want to do that. I mean they want to end all enforcement. They want to end law and order 01:47:47.080 --> 01:47:52.420 in our country. They want to make it worse than it was. When I took over, our border was 01:47:52.420 --> 01:47:57.460 being overrun by millions and millions of people, ultimately 25 million people throughout 01:47:57.460 --> 01:48:03.540 the four year period came into our country. They want to make it easier. Was that a good 01:48:03.540 --> 01:48:14.340 thing. Was that good or bad? I think she said Trump nation. I like that. I like that. I 01:48:14.340 --> 01:48:21.300 like that. Leave her alone. She said Trump nation. That's okay. Trump nation's okay. 01:48:21.300 --> 01:48:27.700 I wasn't sure. You never know what they're saying nowadays. Do your front row jokes. 01:48:27.700 --> 01:48:32.540 But communism is the single greatest threat to our country in history, including World 01:48:32.540 --> 01:48:36.860 World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, 9-11. 01:48:36.860 --> 01:48:41.940 And that's why we're going to crush the radical Democrats at the ballot boxes November. 01:48:41.940 --> 01:48:47.340 And we're going to defeat communism in America once and for all, we're going to defeat it. 01:48:47.340 --> 01:48:48.980 It's never worked. 01:48:48.980 --> 01:48:49.980 It's dirty. 01:48:49.980 --> 01:48:51.580 It's filthy. 01:48:51.580 --> 01:48:52.580 It's unhappy. 01:48:52.580 --> 01:48:55.220 Did you ever see a happy communist? 01:48:55.220 --> 01:48:58.620 Have you ever seen a communist laugh? 01:48:58.620 --> 01:48:59.860 I never saw it. 01:48:59.860 --> 01:49:00.860 I've known communists. 01:49:00.860 --> 01:49:01.860 They don't laugh. 01:49:01.860 --> 01:49:10.180 happy people. We want to be happy. With your vote for Darlene on Tuesday, we're going to 01:49:10.180 --> 01:49:15.220 send a message straight to the Democrat Party headquarters in Washington. We're going to 01:49:15.220 --> 01:49:20.940 tell them that we will never abolish ICE. We will never surrender our Constitution. 01:49:20.940 --> 01:49:30.140 And we will never allow our country to even think about being a communist or even a socialist 01:49:30.140 --> 01:49:32.140 We're not gonna let it happen. 01:49:36.140 --> 01:49:37.140 Why? 01:49:37.140 --> 01:49:41.140 Uh, well, I don't know. 01:49:41.140 --> 01:49:42.140 I don't know. 01:49:44.140 --> 01:49:48.140 This guy has a killier local pedophile shirt on. 01:49:48.140 --> 01:49:52.140 Normally guys that wear that shit are like always right wing. 01:49:52.140 --> 01:49:54.140 Could be a former Trump fan. 01:49:54.140 --> 01:49:56.140 Turn Trump hater. 01:49:56.140 --> 01:50:03.140 It's pretty awesome. 01:50:03.140 --> 01:50:07.300 You are a devolving old man like, look who's taught, you're a devolving old man, look who's 01:50:07.300 --> 01:50:08.300 talking. 01:50:08.300 --> 01:50:15.220 No, this is guys who normally wear like kill your local pedophile style shirts. 01:50:15.220 --> 01:50:32.040 unironically are unironically big fans of Trump. I went and saw American doctor yesterday 01:50:32.040 --> 01:50:42.300 because of your stream. Thank you for being the amazing person that you are. The hogs 01:50:42.300 --> 01:50:45.580 Because they're losing the rally energy, they can't eat half of their treats in a showing 01:50:45.580 --> 01:50:48.420 at the spots where they used to hog out the most. 01:50:48.420 --> 01:51:06.820 I agree. 01:51:06.820 --> 01:51:09.900 The only one inciting violence against American Jews is Piger and his rhetoric for the future 01:51:09.900 --> 01:51:13.180 party democrats have to call out this hating condemn these dangers using anyone campaigning 01:51:13.180 --> 01:51:22.540 with them as a part of the problem. Whatever, Gautheimer. But, Heimer. I just don't, look, 01:51:22.540 --> 01:51:24.860 I've said it already, I'm down to... 01:51:28.220 --> 01:51:33.900 Unk, these are for you. Oh yeah, those, whoa. It's not bad. 01:52:09.900 --> 01:52:15.900 They have not produced one single clip of you saying anything anti-Semitic ever law, I know. 01:52:15.900 --> 01:52:21.900 But for a lot of these dudes, it's just, criticizing Israel is the most anti-Semitic you can ever be. 01:52:21.900 --> 01:52:25.900 So that's why it doesn't matter. They just fucking constantly point to that. 01:52:25.900 --> 01:52:31.900 They go, oh, well, that's, look at all the shit that he says about Israel. Obviously, that's it. That's, that's all it is. 01:52:36.900 --> 01:52:38.900 That's all they got. 01:52:39.900 --> 01:52:48.740 That's alright. That person's going home to mom, gonna get scolded, cause mom is voting 01:52:48.740 --> 01:52:57.820 for us. You know? Mom is voting. 01:52:57.820 --> 01:53:00.260 America deserved 9-11, dude. 01:53:00.260 --> 01:53:03.820 The Sompiker Discourse Industrial Complex. Wait, what the fuck is this? 01:53:09.900 --> 01:53:18.980 I'm staying. The question here is come November with those Haley Stevens voters really vote 01:53:18.980 --> 01:53:25.100 for the guy who's the socialist dream boat diversity. Jim reflects and is tight fitting 01:53:25.100 --> 01:53:31.460 black tea. These races ultimately are local and all politics are local. My understanding 01:53:31.460 --> 01:53:38.660 is that is that Francesca Hong has made clear her presence dances to her election. She's 01:53:38.660 --> 01:53:47.200 Right, he's moved away from it and I have a local city councilman that has this saying 01:53:47.200 --> 01:53:49.580 woke one was crazy. 01:53:49.580 --> 01:53:56.340 Today we're going to be having a conversation. 01:53:56.340 --> 01:54:01.100 I want to go ahead and examine this weird paradox that black voters find themselves in. 01:54:01.100 --> 01:54:06.020 On one hand, they are the most supportive of DSA policies, but on the other hand, 01:54:06.020 --> 01:54:10.460 It seems as though that black voters are the least supportive of DSA candidates. 01:54:10.460 --> 01:54:17.220 One of the main reasons why this contradiction stood out to me is because, within America, 01:54:17.220 --> 01:54:20.740 most of our well-known socialists are black. 01:54:20.740 --> 01:54:26.900 But it seems as though that the DSA, an organization that is advocating for democratic socialism, 01:54:26.900 --> 01:54:32.060 seems to be disconnecting with the group of people that have already been historically 01:54:32.060 --> 01:54:34.900 predisposed to socialism. 01:54:34.900 --> 01:54:40.700 So in this video, I want to go ahead and examine why exactly there seems to be a drift between 01:54:40.700 --> 01:54:45.340 the Black voter base, a group of individuals who have already been predisposed to the Rainbow 01:54:45.340 --> 01:54:51.080 Coalition, to Fred Hampton, Angela Davis, the Black Panther Party, in hopes of better 01:54:51.080 --> 01:54:57.380 understanding the gap between the insurgent left and the base of the Democratic Party. 01:54:57.380 --> 01:55:01.220 In this video, we'll go ahead and examine the after effects of Alsayed winning his 01:55:01.220 --> 01:55:07.860 race against Stevens. We'll also go ahead and discuss the whole Hassan Piker discourse industrial 01:55:07.860 --> 01:55:16.580 complex and why Joe Scarborough has no freaking reason yelling that loud in the morning. After 01:55:16.580 --> 01:55:22.260 that we'll also go ahead and have a conversation about Ms. AOC and why the language of Woke 1.0 01:55:22.260 --> 01:55:28.980 not only undermines the hard work of BLM activists, but weirdly enough may also undermine 01:55:28.980 --> 01:55:32.420 some of the movements that we're currently seeing in 2026. 01:55:32.420 --> 01:55:35.340 This is about the Democrats once again, 01:55:35.340 --> 01:55:39.060 fumbling the football on the two yard line 01:55:39.060 --> 01:55:41.580 when they have a chance to make great gains 01:55:41.580 --> 01:55:42.980 by being so woke. 01:55:42.980 --> 01:55:44.300 I don't know if you wanna call it woke one, 01:55:44.300 --> 01:55:45.900 woke two or woke three, 01:55:45.900 --> 01:55:49.180 but being too woke to call out the obvious. 01:55:49.180 --> 01:55:50.940 And because this is a little director's cut 01:55:50.940 --> 01:55:52.100 similar to my Lotto video, 01:55:52.100 --> 01:55:53.740 I will definitely try to bring up comments 01:55:53.740 --> 01:55:55.580 from the previous video as a way to provide 01:55:55.580 --> 01:55:57.820 some of my insight into what y'all left. 01:55:58.980 --> 01:56:00.820 Hello and welcome to Demi-Chel. 01:56:00.820 --> 01:56:02.420 Today we're going to be having a conversation. 01:56:02.420 --> 01:56:04.460 This is going to be a part two, 01:56:04.460 --> 01:56:07.060 a director's cut of some sort 01:56:07.060 --> 01:56:08.860 in regards to our initial conversation 01:56:08.860 --> 01:56:10.540 that we had about Dr. Abdul-El-Said 01:56:10.540 --> 01:56:11.980 as well as the Michigan Senate race 01:56:11.980 --> 01:56:13.420 and this unfortunate idea 01:56:13.420 --> 01:56:14.780 that black voters are monolithic. 01:56:14.780 --> 01:56:18.780 That video received upwards of almost 1,000 comments. 01:56:18.780 --> 01:56:20.220 So I wanted to go ahead and do a part two 01:56:20.220 --> 01:56:21.820 to further examine some of the things 01:56:21.820 --> 01:56:23.420 that were discussed in the first video 01:56:23.420 --> 01:56:26.500 and to also add to some of my commentary 01:56:26.500 --> 01:56:28.540 that I wasn't initially able to put in the first video. 01:56:28.540 --> 01:56:30.020 Before we officially start everything, 01:56:30.020 --> 01:56:31.220 I wanna go ahead and touch on, 01:56:31.220 --> 01:56:32.380 as a lot of people have mentioned, 01:56:32.380 --> 01:56:34.180 Dr. Abdul El Sayed is not DSA. 01:56:34.180 --> 01:56:35.500 According to Dr. Abdul El Sayed, 01:56:35.500 --> 01:56:37.340 he is a scientist and a capitalist 01:56:37.340 --> 01:56:39.820 that understands the pitfalls of capitalism. 01:56:39.820 --> 01:56:41.620 I say that to say that I'm very much aware of the fact 01:56:41.620 --> 01:56:44.540 that Dr. Abdul El Sayed is not a DSA candidate, 01:56:44.540 --> 01:56:46.420 but the DSA is not exempt from the critiques 01:56:46.420 --> 01:56:47.380 that I have in that video. 01:56:47.380 --> 01:56:49.820 Like, even though I am supportive of the insurgent left, 01:56:49.820 --> 01:56:51.860 the DSA has gotten multiple critiques 01:56:51.860 --> 01:56:53.460 of being a very white organization 01:56:53.460 --> 01:56:55.380 and having issues when it comes to black voters. 01:56:55.380 --> 01:56:58.180 So, yes, Dr. Abdul El Sayed may not be DSA, 01:56:58.180 --> 01:57:00.540 but my critiques in the video definitely applied to the DSA. 01:57:00.540 --> 01:57:02.140 A lot of my analysis in that video 01:57:02.140 --> 01:57:04.200 was created prior to Dr. Abdulah El Sayed 01:57:04.200 --> 01:57:07.140 eking out a win against Ms. Haley Stevens. 01:57:07.140 --> 01:57:09.340 One of the things that I mentioned in the previous video 01:57:09.340 --> 01:57:10.980 is that I thought the race was gonna be extremely close. 01:57:10.980 --> 01:57:12.380 And the main reason why I believe 01:57:12.380 --> 01:57:13.540 that the race was gonna be closed 01:57:13.540 --> 01:57:16.040 was because of what we were discussing 01:57:16.040 --> 01:57:17.180 in the original video. 01:57:17.180 --> 01:57:18.340 Then though Dr. Abdulah El Sayed 01:57:18.340 --> 01:57:20.820 was able to win his primary against Haley Stevens, 01:57:20.820 --> 01:57:22.860 according to reports and according to some of the data 01:57:22.860 --> 01:57:24.460 that we've seen sprinkling out 01:57:24.460 --> 01:57:26.180 of the Michigan Senate primary race, 01:57:26.180 --> 01:57:29.620 Dr. Abdulah El Sayed lost the black boat to Haley Stevens. 01:57:29.620 --> 01:57:32.580 A lot of the polls that we saw show that Stevens had upwards 01:57:32.580 --> 01:57:33.740 of the 33 point advantage 01:57:33.740 --> 01:57:35.540 when it came to black voters specifically. 01:57:35.540 --> 01:57:38.140 And even though Dr. Abdulah El Sayed did make inroads 01:57:38.140 --> 01:57:40.380 with the black community, specifically young black voters, 01:57:40.380 --> 01:57:42.300 he did still end up losing a majority 01:57:42.300 --> 01:57:44.340 of black voters to Haley Stevens. 01:57:44.340 --> 01:57:46.620 I wanted to go ahead and highlight this specific comment 01:57:46.620 --> 01:57:49.020 because I didn't touch on this in the original video, 01:57:49.020 --> 01:57:50.660 but I've been seeing stories 01:57:50.660 --> 01:57:53.260 about this dynamic specifically within Detroit. 01:57:53.260 --> 01:57:54.580 This commenter points out, 01:57:54.580 --> 01:57:56.980 I'm a black man from West Michigan, and I voted for Abdul. 01:57:56.980 --> 01:57:59.180 Most black voters in West Michigan did as well, 01:57:59.180 --> 01:58:01.180 but it's a different dynamic in Wayne County. 01:58:01.180 --> 01:58:03.380 There's a significant divide between some Arab 01:58:03.380 --> 01:58:05.480 and black communities there, and both historical 01:58:05.480 --> 01:58:07.780 and current racial tensions still exist. 01:58:07.780 --> 01:58:10.220 The area isn't as unified or diverse in practice 01:58:10.220 --> 01:58:11.820 as it may seem from the outside. 01:58:11.820 --> 01:58:13.920 If Abdul wants to beat Mike Rogers in November, 01:58:13.920 --> 01:58:16.280 he needs to speak directly to black Americans. 01:58:16.280 --> 01:58:18.780 Dr. Syed is most likely going to have to rely 01:58:18.780 --> 01:58:21.520 on two establishment quote unquote heavyweights. 01:58:21.520 --> 01:58:23.720 Now, if you remember the Michigan Senate primary race, 01:58:23.720 --> 01:58:27.800 Barack Obama basically acted as an omnipresent figure throughout the race, even though he 01:58:27.800 --> 01:58:32.680 didn't endorse anybody, APAC, and by extension UDP, poured a lot of money into this idea 01:58:32.680 --> 01:58:35.160 of Barack Obama endorsing his defense. 01:58:35.160 --> 01:58:39.360 And by Barack Obama, lending his support and his star power to Dr. Abdul-as-Syed, 01:58:39.360 --> 01:58:43.280 he most likely is going to be able to firm up some of that support alongside Kamala 01:58:43.280 --> 01:58:47.160 Harris, mobilizing her supporters to support Dr. Abdul-as-Syed, should help alleviate 01:58:47.160 --> 01:58:49.160 some of that tension. 01:58:49.160 --> 01:58:52.360 But does it fully address the issue that we initially talked about in the previous 01:58:52.360 --> 01:58:53.360 video? 01:58:53.360 --> 01:58:58.480 So, this is the part of the video where we have to talk about the Kamala Harris endorsement. 01:58:58.480 --> 01:59:02.320 Like if you've heard of me, why do I believe that Kamala Harris is advocating on behalf 01:59:02.320 --> 01:59:03.320 of Dr. Abdullah El-Sahed? 01:59:03.320 --> 01:59:06.440 I think one, Harris wants to defeat the Trump administration. 01:59:06.440 --> 01:59:09.000 Like out of the gate, she doesn't like the Trump administration. 01:59:09.000 --> 01:59:12.840 It's confusing because Cuomo won the black vote too. 01:59:12.840 --> 01:59:13.840 Yes. 01:59:13.840 --> 01:59:20.800 Because a lot of older black voters are very cautious voters. 01:59:20.800 --> 01:59:22.440 They're defensive voters. 01:59:22.440 --> 01:59:32.840 Okay. And they're also very invested in the establishment side of the Democratic Party's 01:59:32.840 --> 01:59:40.160 politics because there are a lot of trusted figures with seniority within the Democratic 01:59:40.160 --> 01:59:45.240 Party that they lean into, you know, black figures within the Democratic Party who will 01:59:45.240 --> 01:59:50.240 come to the neighborhoods to who will go to the communities who are from these communities 01:59:50.240 --> 01:59:54.560 that will tell everybody, you have to vote for this person. This is the best person. This person 01:59:54.560 --> 02:00:09.520 understands us. That's it. It's not that it is not because older black voters are conservative 02:00:09.520 --> 02:00:16.480 in their policies. That's far, that's the furthest from reality. Okay. Black voters consistently 02:00:16.480 --> 02:00:26.120 are the most progressive voting block in the country. As a demographic, there are all sorts 02:00:26.120 --> 02:00:31.280 of empirical evidence to show over and over again that black voters, by and large, are 02:00:31.280 --> 02:00:36.520 far more sympathetic to socialism as an ideology than white voters are than even Hispanic 02:00:36.520 --> 02:00:44.840 voters are. Okay? But when it comes down to it, and we're playing the game of percentages, 02:00:44.840 --> 02:00:53.880 Right? If we're looking at who black voters are voting for, it's usually by and large 02:00:53.880 --> 02:00:57.000 older voters that participate in much higher percentages. 02:00:57.800 --> 02:01:05.640 And a lot of older voters are a part of the Democratic Party's bulwark. It's turnout machine. 02:01:07.880 --> 02:01:12.520 And they will go and vote for who trusted individuals in their communities tell them to 02:01:12.520 --> 02:01:25.600 to vote for. And the machine for the Democratic Party only boosts turnout in one direction, 02:01:25.600 --> 02:01:26.600 which is the establishment. 02:01:26.600 --> 02:01:32.240 Two, as everybody has guessed, Harris is most likely gearing up for a 2028 presidential 02:01:32.240 --> 02:01:33.240 run. And she definitely needs- 02:01:33.240 --> 02:01:39.200 Is it fair to call them small-sea conservatives? No, because they're not. They're not conservative 02:01:39.200 --> 02:01:45.800 in their policy demands. That's why I say they're defensive voters, they're cautious voters, 02:01:45.800 --> 02:01:55.520 but they're not conservative. Even the most socially conservative black man or woman. 02:01:55.520 --> 02:02:05.400 Older, like the older voting block is still far more progressive in their policy demands 02:02:05.400 --> 02:02:13.960 and in their appetite for a progressive policy, then the same demographic that is white, the 02:02:13.960 --> 02:02:23.040 same socio-political standing but white, okay? That is the reality of being a black person 02:02:23.040 --> 02:02:30.400 in the United States of America, a country that has baked in white supremacy and anti-blackness 02:02:30.400 --> 02:02:37.200 specifically anti-black white supremacy into its fundamentals, into its foundation. 02:02:39.200 --> 02:02:44.160 To have an answer on the question of policy, but she doesn't. I understand people that are fully 02:02:44.160 --> 02:02:47.840 apprehensive to the idea of Kamala Harris. Harris had the opportunity to fully separate 02:02:47.840 --> 02:02:51.680 herself from the Biden administration on the issue of Gaza. We do have done. 02:02:51.680 --> 02:02:56.640 So why do they hesitate to support us in the DSA? Is it just the word socialism? 02:02:56.640 --> 02:03:05.640 No, dude. No. Black voters have less of a negative opinion of socialism than white voters do. 02:03:05.640 --> 02:03:10.640 Okay? No. I'm telling you what it is. I don't know why people don't listen. 02:03:10.640 --> 02:03:24.640 Most Americans do not vote on policy. Okay? Most people just vote on vibes in this country. 02:03:24.640 --> 02:03:37.320 And for cautious voters, older black voters, that their likelihood of voting for someone 02:03:37.320 --> 02:03:41.880 revolves around who trusted individuals in the community are telling them to vote for, 02:03:41.880 --> 02:03:48.360 you know, church leaders, just a part of the Democratic Party's turnout machine. 02:03:48.360 --> 02:03:55.360 something differently than President Biden during the past four years. 02:03:55.360 --> 02:04:04.360 There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of, and I've been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact. 02:04:04.360 --> 02:04:07.360 You asked me what's the difference between Joe Biden and me. 02:04:07.360 --> 02:04:14.360 I'm going to have a Republican look at it, because I don't feel burdened by letting pride get in the way of it. 02:04:14.360 --> 02:04:18.960 Like in the retelling of 2024, some people have overlooked how a lot of activists, the 02:04:18.960 --> 02:04:23.280 uncommitted movement, and young voters were initially courted by Ferris because they saw 02:04:23.280 --> 02:04:26.640 her as a potential break from Joe Biden's policy on Gaza. 02:04:26.640 --> 02:04:28.280 I'm a Georgia State Representative. 02:04:28.280 --> 02:04:29.280 I'm an elected Democrat. 02:04:29.280 --> 02:04:31.600 I come from the swing state of Georgia. 02:04:31.600 --> 02:04:34.140 We are not here to create any divisions. 02:04:34.140 --> 02:04:38.520 As my colleagues have said over and over and over again, the only reason we are here, 02:04:38.520 --> 02:04:41.560 the only reason we are here is to ensure that Donald Trump will never make it 02:04:41.560 --> 02:04:44.980 to the White House and save the lives of the people that we love. 02:04:44.980 --> 02:04:50.000 It's about the fact that today I watched my party say our tent can fit anti-choice Republicans, 02:04:50.000 --> 02:04:52.940 but it can't fit an elected official like me. 02:04:52.940 --> 02:04:54.600 I do not understand. 02:04:54.600 --> 02:04:59.280 I do not understand why being a Palestinian has become disqualifying in this country. 02:04:59.280 --> 02:05:02.840 But as Harris herself has admitted, she sadly listened to her consultants and continued 02:05:02.840 --> 02:05:05.120 to push for the same tragic policies. 02:05:05.120 --> 02:05:09.660 I'm somebody that was supportive of Harris in 2024, but I find that I am not apprehensive 02:05:09.660 --> 02:05:13.620 or judgmental or angry at those that chose to sit out in 2024. 02:05:13.620 --> 02:05:16.340 Because even though Kamala Harris was the better option 02:05:16.340 --> 02:05:17.900 in comparison to Donald Trump, 02:05:17.900 --> 02:05:20.740 people were rightfully grieving the loss of their loved ones 02:05:20.740 --> 02:05:21.860 and their family members. 02:05:21.860 --> 02:05:24.580 Young activists had their phones flooded with images. 02:05:24.580 --> 02:05:25.820 For white chatters, don't listen. 02:05:25.820 --> 02:05:26.940 It's called machine politics 02:05:26.940 --> 02:05:28.420 when black social leaders got killed. 02:05:28.420 --> 02:05:29.660 No other group of socialists stepped up 02:05:29.660 --> 02:05:32.140 to fill the gaps of the Dem establishment as was planned, 02:05:32.140 --> 02:05:33.300 stepped in to fill that gap 02:05:33.300 --> 02:05:35.460 and made the strongest voter base for the Dems. 02:05:35.460 --> 02:05:37.220 So even though black voters don't particularly 02:05:37.220 --> 02:05:38.740 like Democrats, survival voting 02:05:38.740 --> 02:05:44.660 knowing local figures is what carries it. Yes. There's also a lot of, like a big part of machine 02:05:44.660 --> 02:05:56.100 politics is also a distribution of resources. Okay. Like the reason why Jim Clyburn is such a 02:05:56.100 --> 02:06:03.940 towering force in South Carolina is not because he's black. It's because he gets money from the 02:06:03.940 --> 02:06:08.540 the Democratic Party, and he distributes those resources that he gets from the Democratic 02:06:08.540 --> 02:06:17.020 Party to local church leaders, to community organizers, hand-selected community organizers. 02:06:17.020 --> 02:06:20.980 So of course, he is a trusted figure for his constituents. 02:06:20.980 --> 02:06:26.700 He has constituent services, okay? 02:06:26.700 --> 02:06:30.380 And he's been doing this for multiple decades at this point. 02:06:30.380 --> 02:06:33.340 That's how you design a political machine. 02:06:33.340 --> 02:06:48.820 how you establish trust. So when, yeah, HBCUs, like, this is how you create a funding vehicle 02:06:48.820 --> 02:06:57.620 for, for, for black leadership that comes after you as well. The reason why Angie Nixon 02:06:57.620 --> 02:07:04.420 one with demographics that DSA normally doesn't actually, uh, uh, win with is because one, 02:07:05.460 --> 02:07:10.740 she is a trusted local politician. She's a trusted state politician as a black woman, 02:07:11.300 --> 02:07:17.460 but also because she had the backing and endorsement of every local black politician, 02:07:17.460 --> 02:07:24.660 every state level and local level black politician in Florida. Okay. That's it. 02:07:24.660 --> 02:07:29.700 She has the connection to the community and she had the endorsement of every single 02:07:30.660 --> 02:07:35.860 pivotal black politician from localities up to the state. 02:07:38.900 --> 02:07:39.380 That's it. 02:07:45.780 --> 02:07:51.140 Just of carnage from Gaza. So even though I myself was participating in relational organizing 02:07:51.140 --> 02:07:54.820 to get some of those people on board, it would be foolish of any of us to overlook their grief 02:07:54.820 --> 02:07:59.620 and their anger towards Harris. I laid this all out to say that Harris herself definitely benefits 02:07:59.620 --> 02:08:05.620 from aligning herself with progressives and leptis. It helps soften her image for 2028, 02:08:05.620 --> 02:08:11.300 when she obviously runs, in the words of Gavin Newsom, as a lifelong insurgent. That means 02:08:11.300 --> 02:08:14.980 that Harris needs to go ahead and start positioning herself as somebody that is 02:08:14.980 --> 02:08:19.060 antithetical to the democratic establishment. I've seen some people argue that this is 02:08:19.060 --> 02:08:20.420 is more beneficial to Harris, 02:08:20.420 --> 02:08:21.460 and I've seen other people argue 02:08:21.460 --> 02:08:23.020 that this is more beneficial as I am. 02:08:23.020 --> 02:08:25.100 In reality, this is mutually beneficial. 02:08:25.100 --> 02:08:26.940 Harris wants to win, and it feels as though 02:08:26.940 --> 02:08:28.500 that she's willing to move with whatever 02:08:28.500 --> 02:08:32.140 the political wins are in hopes of winning in 2028. 02:08:32.140 --> 02:08:33.100 If you personally ask me, 02:08:33.100 --> 02:08:34.780 Harris needs to do way more than just 02:08:34.780 --> 02:08:36.220 a few appearances here and there, 02:08:36.220 --> 02:08:37.460 and a few answers here and there 02:08:37.460 --> 02:08:40.380 to actually build back momentum for a 2028 run. 02:08:40.380 --> 02:08:42.180 And I honestly think there is a way for Harris 02:08:42.180 --> 02:08:44.460 to actually be able to mend her relationship 02:08:44.460 --> 02:08:45.780 with the pro-Palestinian left, 02:08:45.780 --> 02:08:47.140 but that would mean that Harris 02:08:47.140 --> 02:08:49.300 would have to grow a very strong backbone. 02:08:49.300 --> 02:08:50.140 And I don't think that's something 02:08:50.140 --> 02:08:51.260 that she's willing to do at this moment. 02:08:51.260 --> 02:08:52.980 America deserve 9-11, dude. 02:08:52.980 --> 02:08:53.820 I'm saying it. 02:08:53.820 --> 02:08:56.020 After Dr. Abdul El-Sayed won his primary race, 02:08:56.020 --> 02:08:58.140 Dr. Abdul El-Sayed has sadly been 02:08:58.140 --> 02:09:00.580 inundated with one specific question. 02:09:00.580 --> 02:09:03.020 Do you disavow Hassan Piker? 02:09:03.020 --> 02:09:05.700 This question now has taken the place of the, 02:09:05.700 --> 02:09:07.300 does Israel have the right to exist? 02:09:07.300 --> 02:09:10.420 Question that initially played his primary campaign. 02:09:10.420 --> 02:09:12.220 When asked about Hassan Piker's comments 02:09:12.220 --> 02:09:14.180 on 9-11, Senator Bernie Sanders 02:09:14.180 --> 02:09:15.940 called it a dumb statement. 02:09:15.940 --> 02:09:21.300 Do you agree, do you disavow those comments that America deserved 9-11? 02:09:21.300 --> 02:09:24.980 Of course, of course it was a dumb statement and of course I think Hassan himself would 02:09:24.980 --> 02:09:25.980 say that was a dumb statement. 02:09:25.980 --> 02:09:26.980 He disavowed it. 02:09:26.980 --> 02:09:31.540 So yes, America didn't deserve 9-11, but to sit here and play gotcha politics with 02:09:31.540 --> 02:09:34.380 a dumb thing somebody said out of context that they disavowed themselves to say, 02:09:34.380 --> 02:09:35.900 oh well what does that mean about what you think? 02:09:35.900 --> 02:09:38.100 I want to be held accountable for what I say and what I do. 02:09:38.100 --> 02:09:41.340 A lot of dissent for the fact that Hassan Piker has been a vocal critic of the 02:09:41.340 --> 02:09:44.740 country-based role and its genocidal actions in Palestine. 02:09:44.740 --> 02:09:49.220 of this, Hassan has become basically persona nongrata within democratic establishment circles. 02:09:49.220 --> 02:09:52.900 Like Dr. Abdul Al-Sayed is getting asked these questions, right? These questions about Hassan 02:09:52.900 --> 02:09:57.900 Piker, not only because the news media is actually interested in his substantive critique 02:09:57.900 --> 02:10:02.180 or support of Hassan, it's because he's brown. Similar to what we see with black candidates, 02:10:02.180 --> 02:10:06.260 Syed now has to take on the mantle for his community and has to speak on behalf 02:10:06.260 --> 02:10:10.220 of every single issue and every single thing another brown person does. The whole conversation 02:10:10.220 --> 02:10:13.700 around Hassan Piker and the 9-11 climate has been, 02:10:13.700 --> 02:10:16.280 like, can I ask the audience something? 02:10:16.280 --> 02:10:17.800 Are you guys genuinely that perturbed 02:10:17.800 --> 02:10:19.540 by the statements that Hassan Piker makes? 02:10:19.540 --> 02:10:20.780 You may not like what Hassan said, 02:10:20.780 --> 02:10:22.420 but the argument that Hassan Piker is putting forth, 02:10:22.420 --> 02:10:23.380 the idea of blowback, 02:10:23.380 --> 02:10:25.500 of a boomerang effect to American imperialism. 02:10:25.500 --> 02:10:26.820 This is considered in certain circles 02:10:26.820 --> 02:10:28.300 as the imperialist boomerang. 02:10:28.300 --> 02:10:29.460 This is not, you know, 02:10:29.460 --> 02:10:31.180 individuals within the American military themselves 02:10:31.180 --> 02:10:32.600 have spoken up about this. 02:10:32.600 --> 02:10:33.540 Like a lot of the conversations 02:10:33.540 --> 02:10:34.620 that people are having on social media, 02:10:34.620 --> 02:10:36.020 especially about modern day politics, 02:10:36.020 --> 02:10:38.300 feel more so driven from the lens of fandom 02:10:38.300 --> 02:10:41.860 and less about an actual tangible substantive political conversation. 02:10:41.940 --> 02:10:45.580 No, I don't say this to dismiss the actual tangible policy differences 02:10:45.780 --> 02:10:47.140 between the left and the liberals. 02:10:47.140 --> 02:10:49.380 Like I think those conversations are substantive. 02:10:49.580 --> 02:10:53.620 What I'm more so criticizing and critiquing are the conversations that feel 02:10:53.620 --> 02:10:58.580 like what I consider endless circle jerks. 02:10:58.620 --> 02:11:00.740 Like I initially wanted to call this like the human centipede, 02:11:00.900 --> 02:11:02.220 but that would have been a crazy graphic. 02:11:02.220 --> 02:11:03.580 So we have to go with circle jerk. 02:11:03.740 --> 02:11:06.500 There are sometimes conversations that are had that feel as though 02:11:06.500 --> 02:11:09.940 they are so out of touch with the actual lived lives of people. 02:11:09.940 --> 02:11:13.640 And one of the main drivers of that is the Hassan Piker discourse industrial complex, 02:11:13.640 --> 02:11:17.660 or better known as in certain circles as Hassan Derangement Syndrome. 02:11:17.660 --> 02:11:21.860 Now I don't like the derangement syndrome part of it because I do think there are actual 02:11:21.860 --> 02:11:23.460 critiques that people have about Piker. 02:11:23.460 --> 02:11:26.500 Like I know people who are further left than me that have genuine critiques about 02:11:26.500 --> 02:11:31.220 Hassan participating in Electoralism and the faultiness of Electoralism as an 02:11:31.220 --> 02:11:32.220 ideology. 02:11:32.220 --> 02:11:34.980 I have people who don't believe that Hassan Piker has been strong enough on the 02:11:34.980 --> 02:11:38.340 the Palestinian cause, even though Hassan is one of the biggest advocates for that, you 02:11:38.340 --> 02:11:40.600 know, and people can have their own opinions in regards to that. 02:11:40.600 --> 02:11:43.020 But I don't even think that's what's happening with the mainstream media. 02:11:43.020 --> 02:11:44.820 You're not even getting that on the mainstream media. 02:11:44.820 --> 02:11:48.340 What you're getting is Hassan Piker Brown, Hassan Piker back, Hassan Piker, Muslim 02:11:48.340 --> 02:11:49.340 Hassan Piker back. 02:11:49.340 --> 02:11:52.140 You could turn on Fox News at any time of the day and there's going to be a picture 02:11:52.140 --> 02:11:53.380 of Hassan Piker up there. 02:11:53.380 --> 02:11:58.340 There is this weird dynamic where the American news media seems to believe that Hassan 02:11:58.340 --> 02:12:04.940 Piker is like this albatross around the necks of politicians, when in reality 02:12:04.940 --> 02:12:08.540 not to demean the work of Hassan, but most people don't know who Hassan Baker is. 02:12:08.540 --> 02:12:12.540 And that has less so to even do with Hassan and more so to do with the fact that most Americans 02:12:12.540 --> 02:12:18.380 do not consume political content. That's why the news media is literally collapsing as an industry. 02:12:18.380 --> 02:12:19.820 There's no big conspiracy here. 02:12:21.020 --> 02:12:24.700 That in reference to some people seeing that you said Israel shouldn't be completely dismantled 02:12:24.700 --> 02:12:29.660 as a state and it will nominally exist. Yeah, I know. People are fucking crazy. 02:12:29.660 --> 02:12:36.360 Um, it's fine, whatever. 02:12:36.360 --> 02:12:40.100 And then they'll turn around and say, oh, he can't, he can't take any of these reasonable 02:12:40.100 --> 02:12:41.100 criticism. 02:12:41.100 --> 02:12:43.560 And that's why he's saying people are fucking crazy and all this shit. 02:12:43.560 --> 02:12:46.380 But it's like, what do you want me to say, man? 02:12:46.380 --> 02:12:52.780 People are living in fucking La La Land, you know, people are living in God damn 02:12:52.780 --> 02:13:08.580 Lala Lynn. What am I to do? Like the reason why the reason why I am receiving this much 02:13:08.580 --> 02:13:20.000 anger, this much enmity, this many attacks is because clearly these people in positions 02:13:20.000 --> 02:13:28.800 of power have identified this movement as a real threat, a real threat to Israel's ambitions, 02:13:28.800 --> 02:13:34.440 the greater Israel project, a real threat to continued support from the United States 02:13:34.440 --> 02:13:40.640 of America to Israel. 02:13:40.640 --> 02:13:44.320 No shade but you're an easy target and effective. 02:13:44.320 --> 02:13:45.320 I'm not. 02:13:45.320 --> 02:13:47.640 It's not that I'm an easy target. 02:13:47.640 --> 02:13:56.560 the opposite is because I'm a hard target. If I was an anchor on MSNBC, I wouldn't be 02:13:56.560 --> 02:14:00.600 able to say the things that I'm saying. If I was running for office, I wouldn't be able 02:14:00.600 --> 02:14:08.880 to say some of the things that I'm saying or use language that I do and push the needle. 02:14:08.880 --> 02:14:15.520 The reason why they're going this fucking hard is because under different circumstances, 02:14:15.520 --> 02:14:21.440 different circumstances. If I had, if I wasn't easy target, if I was malleable, I would have 02:14:21.440 --> 02:14:34.200 been fired a million times over. That's the problem. 02:14:34.200 --> 02:14:37.960 My future father-in-law called my girlfriend and said to unfollow you because 50% of employers 02:14:37.960 --> 02:14:41.720 will see that and reject her and that you were singing an awful song on stage that 02:14:41.720 --> 02:14:49.240 is clearly a banger. Yeah, it's whatever. You can't entertain legitimate criticism when 02:14:49.240 --> 02:14:55.040 the premise of framing is disingenuous. The whole conversation gets nullified by it. Yes. 02:14:55.040 --> 02:15:02.880 You should probably be aware of how easy it is to rile you up. Thanks, chatter. 02:15:02.880 --> 02:15:07.480 The reason why more people are talking about the DSA right now is because you have the 02:15:07.480 --> 02:15:10.920 mayor of the most important city in America, who first of all has identified as DSA. 02:15:10.920 --> 02:15:14.760 But you also have people in New York City that have been saying some blacked out things. 02:15:14.760 --> 02:15:19.320 I think most mainstream voters would say they're blacked out things when this is about the Democrats 02:15:19.320 --> 02:15:23.240 once again fumbling the foot. I think that when people say you're an easy target is because you 02:15:23.240 --> 02:15:28.680 say more stuff, you're able to say more stuff though it makes you clippable. Yes. But if I was 02:15:29.560 --> 02:15:34.200 if I was a quote unquote easy target, then they wouldn't have to twist themselves into a 02:15:34.200 --> 02:15:38.680 fucking pretzel to clip shit that I'm saying directly out of context and then generate 02:15:38.680 --> 02:15:45.560 controversy around it. You understand? Because like this, this combo, this is the last iteration. 02:15:47.400 --> 02:15:54.280 The SA watch and all these other like, uh, Hasbra operatives, uh, took a long, like, I think it was 02:15:54.280 --> 02:16:00.920 like a 15 minute segment where I'm discussing how Zionism is not Judaism and like Jewish 02:16:00.920 --> 02:16:07.080 institutions tying themselves to Israel is unironically, uh, is unironically leaning 02:16:07.080 --> 02:16:12.880 into the growth of anti-Semitism in this country, something I've said a million times over, 02:16:12.880 --> 02:16:14.800 something others have said a million times over. 02:16:14.800 --> 02:16:21.640 They clipped it to make it seem like I'm saying, you know, like, that I don't even know what 02:16:21.640 --> 02:16:22.640 they're arguing. 02:16:22.640 --> 02:16:27.280 I guess the argument is, is that Hassan Prakash says, Jews who support Israel are inviting 02:16:27.280 --> 02:16:30.280 violence. 02:16:30.280 --> 02:16:37.280 I don't know if you want to call a woke one or woke two or woke three, but being too woke 02:16:37.280 --> 02:16:39.280 to call out the obvious. 02:16:39.280 --> 02:16:42.280 I don't watch morning job because what the fuck do I look like watching morning job? 02:16:42.280 --> 02:16:43.280 Yeah, like this is it. 02:16:43.280 --> 02:16:44.280 I'll do it. 02:16:44.280 --> 02:16:45.280 I'll say a surrogate. 02:16:45.280 --> 02:16:46.280 It's not like it threatens American Jews. 02:16:46.280 --> 02:16:49.280 You better speak out in favor of Hamas and against Israel or bad things are going 02:16:49.280 --> 02:16:50.280 to happen to you. 02:16:50.280 --> 02:16:51.280 I don't know. 02:16:51.280 --> 02:16:52.280 I don't know. 02:16:52.280 --> 02:16:53.280 I don't know. 02:16:53.280 --> 02:16:54.280 I don't know. 02:16:54.280 --> 02:16:55.280 I don't know. 02:16:55.280 --> 02:16:56.280 I don't know. 02:16:56.280 --> 02:17:17.720 or bad things are going to happen to you, you know, like this is there's nothing I can 02:17:17.720 --> 02:17:22.600 there's nothing anyone can do in these circumstances. You understand that, right? Like I'm clear 02:17:22.600 --> 02:17:27.880 in my communication. I'm clear in my comms. The clips that they're clipping, don't even 02:17:27.880 --> 02:17:33.400 say, don't even imply what they're claiming. It implies, right? But it doesn't even f**k 02:17:33.400 --> 02:17:38.920 a matter. It doesn't even matter. That's all over Facebook. By the way, just saw it. 02:17:38.920 --> 02:17:45.080 Yes. Because guys, at some point you have to understand it. Okay. These are very 02:17:45.080 --> 02:17:52.920 powerful forces, okay? Israel didn't get tens of billions of dollars, $300 billion over the 02:17:52.920 --> 02:17:58.200 course of 80 years, by just simply sitting around. They have a very, they've designed a very 02:17:58.200 --> 02:18:03.640 sophisticated influence peddling operation in the United States of America. And now they're 02:18:03.640 --> 02:18:08.760 deploying it in the direction of one guy that you happen to fucking watch a prominent critic of 02:18:08.760 --> 02:18:16.160 Israel, okay? I've never underestimated the, the, the, uh, the 02:18:16.160 --> 02:18:21.560 Hasbro machine. Yeah. Watch a Sompiger warns Americans use of 02:18:21.560 --> 02:18:23.800 consequences for supporting Israel. It's fucking bullshit. 02:18:24.280 --> 02:18:25.880 It's bullshit, but it doesn't matter. 02:18:38.760 --> 02:18:40.600 There are a 02:18:40.600 --> 02:18:46.520 Shit ton of people who think I'm a dog abuser if you can get motherfuckers to believe that I'm a dog abuser 02:18:46.520 --> 02:18:53.420 You can get him to believe that I'm a you know rapacious Jew hater. It's the it's easier than that in my opinion 02:18:54.280 --> 02:18:57.260 Okay, it's that's it. That's it 02:19:04.920 --> 02:19:08.520 Obviously the antidote to this is to just say the truth 02:19:08.760 --> 02:19:15.760 Okay. To say the truth, no matter what the cost is. 02:19:15.760 --> 02:19:18.760 And I'm going to continue doing that. 02:19:18.760 --> 02:19:25.760 But I've been searching the web to try to find another clip of Joe Scarborough being this upset, especially in regards to the crimes I'm trying. 02:19:25.760 --> 02:19:33.760 And I have had some issues finding clips similar to this. And I have not seen Joe Scarborough lose his shit at any point similar to this. 02:19:33.760 --> 02:19:38.000 to this. And that's my problem. There are way too many things happening currently in the world 02:19:38.000 --> 02:19:44.080 for us to be hyper fixated on Hassan Paker. Even if you have critiques of Hassan, is that really 02:19:44.080 --> 02:19:48.880 the main priority right now? Literally, people in America cannot eat lettuce. Everybody calls 02:19:48.880 --> 02:19:53.760 Americans big bags, and people can't eat salads. In my personal being, the reason why we're having 02:19:53.760 --> 02:19:58.160 conversations about Hassan Paker 24-7 instead of covering anything else is because there's 02:19:58.160 --> 02:20:02.720 a specific subset of people within the American media that want to run cover on behalf of 02:20:02.720 --> 02:20:07.840 Israel. And they believe that by knee capping one of the most prominent advocates for Palestine 02:20:07.840 --> 02:20:11.680 and also an advocate on behalf of the insurgent left, they're doing everything within their 02:20:11.680 --> 02:20:15.360 power to try to diminish any type of impact Hassan has. One of the things that- 02:20:15.360 --> 02:20:21.360 100%, I'm so glad some people are seeing it. That's it. I've been saying this nonstop. 02:20:21.360 --> 02:20:30.720 That's exactly what it is. Okay? That's exactly what this is. And it blows my mind 02:20:30.720 --> 02:20:35.920 that more people don't recognize this, especially figures, especially figures in the media that 02:20:35.920 --> 02:20:42.320 are like adjacent or, or sympathetic to this plight, sympathetic to these causes. Like 02:20:42.320 --> 02:20:48.920 when I see this shit, maybe it's because I've been a prominent left media figure in 02:20:48.920 --> 02:20:56.000 the independent circles for the past decade almost. And therefore I have been in the 02:20:56.000 --> 02:21:11.260 words of our friend of the show, a sin eater of sorts, right? I'm used to it. But like, 02:21:11.260 --> 02:21:14.340 they're doing it to other people. They're doing it to like random people that worked 02:21:14.340 --> 02:21:18.340 for the fucking Brad Lander campaign. Now, like near and poses, like, Oh, look at this 02:21:18.340 --> 02:21:29.740 rich DSA person. They're doing it to Gustavo, right? Anyone and everyone that anyone and 02:21:29.740 --> 02:21:35.820 everyone that is now considered like a, like a prominent left figure will immediately hit 02:21:35.820 --> 02:21:41.540 with the same attacks. Oh, this person is a rich socialist, hypocritical. Oh, this person 02:21:41.540 --> 02:21:49.900 did this, this person said that it's bullshit. They're doing it to Mark Ruffalo. You don't 02:21:49.900 --> 02:21:53.940 even need to be a socialist. You don't even need to use. You just need to be a critic 02:21:53.940 --> 02:21:59.140 of Israel. And that's it. If you're a critic of Israel and on top of that, you're a socialist. 02:21:59.140 --> 02:22:00.140 Oh, you're fucked. 02:22:00.140 --> 02:22:04.340 It's always kind of like been a little confusing, in my opinion, about this whole Hassan 02:22:04.340 --> 02:22:08.620 tiger discourse is the fact that Hassan piker is exactly what the democratic establishment 02:22:08.620 --> 02:22:12.200 said they wanted in 2024, that they wanted a young man 02:22:12.200 --> 02:22:15.760 who was brash and abrasive, that was counterculture enough, 02:22:15.760 --> 02:22:17.780 but could also speak to the issues 02:22:17.780 --> 02:22:21.300 and also be able to organize young voters. 02:22:21.300 --> 02:22:24.700 And somebody who could also speak to the masculinity crisis 02:22:24.700 --> 02:22:26.600 as well as the desirability politics 02:22:26.600 --> 02:22:28.860 that we currently see with young men and young boys. 02:22:28.860 --> 02:22:30.840 Like what exactly makes up a big tent? 02:22:30.840 --> 02:22:32.940 Does a big tent actually encompass all ideas? 02:22:32.940 --> 02:22:36.420 Or does a big tent primarily focus on moving rights, 02:22:36.420 --> 02:22:40.980 Third way, an organization that is obviously two Republicans in a trench coat with a mustache 02:22:40.980 --> 02:22:45.760 on has officially launched a campaign to push back against the DSA and most likely individuals 02:22:45.760 --> 02:22:46.760 like Hassan Piker. 02:22:46.760 --> 02:22:49.740 And I just don't think that is big tent coalition party politics. 02:22:49.740 --> 02:22:53.060 I find myself frustrated with the Hassan Piker conversation, not because I don't 02:22:53.060 --> 02:22:56.660 think people have the right to criticize Hassan, but I just feel like there are so 02:22:56.660 --> 02:22:59.100 many more important things to talk about at this moment. 02:22:59.100 --> 02:23:02.700 Like we're in a fucking war for God's sake and individuals seem more so fixated 02:23:02.700 --> 02:23:04.660 on whatever Hassan Piker is wearing. 02:23:04.660 --> 02:23:08.660 Now in a different timeline, this could be an important story, but in this timeline where 02:23:08.660 --> 02:23:11.880 people are literally being kidnapped and put in ICE detention centers, I feel like nobody 02:23:11.880 --> 02:23:13.140 should give a fuck about this. 02:23:13.140 --> 02:23:16.300 And not to play into this idea that all Americans are stupid, but the average American does 02:23:16.300 --> 02:23:17.700 not know anything about mom. 02:23:17.700 --> 02:23:21.140 But according to some within the liberal elite establishment, they do. 02:23:21.140 --> 02:23:25.420 And therefore we need to write 300 plus articles on Hassan Piker and whatever Hassan Piker 02:23:25.420 --> 02:23:26.420 is doing. 02:23:26.420 --> 02:23:30.420 Not to say that Hassan can't be weaponized against certain individuals because God knows 02:23:30.420 --> 02:23:34.580 job have tried, but more so the fact that the average voter who is struggling with their 02:23:34.580 --> 02:23:37.340 day to day most likely does not care. 02:23:37.340 --> 02:23:40.900 You can have your critiques of Hasan all you want, but do we really need 300 articles within 02:23:40.900 --> 02:23:42.460 a week about Hasan Piker? 02:23:42.460 --> 02:23:45.980 What exactly are you people saying in these new 300 articles that you didn't already 02:23:45.980 --> 02:23:47.820 cover in the previous 300 articles? 02:23:47.820 --> 02:23:51.020 Recently, Scott Jennings, yes that's Scott Jennings, the same piece of shit that is 02:23:51.020 --> 02:23:53.900 always on the Abby Phillips show, came out with allegations that Hasan Piker 02:23:53.900 --> 02:23:55.900 was advocating on behalf of lynchings. 02:23:55.900 --> 02:24:00.900 Now, he's Abdul El Sayed's best friend and he campaigns for him all the time. 02:24:00.900 --> 02:24:04.980 And African Americans out there, within the sound of my voice, need to listen up and you 02:24:04.980 --> 02:24:07.240 must listen carefully. 02:24:07.240 --> 02:24:11.820 This is who socialists like Abdul El Sayed choose to keep her company. 02:24:11.820 --> 02:24:14.500 Just listen to this, Hassan Piker in Cuddy. 02:24:14.500 --> 02:24:18.220 Now, if you watched the video for more than a couple of seconds, you're probably 02:24:18.220 --> 02:24:20.220 aware of the fact that Hassan was not doing this. 02:24:20.220 --> 02:24:24.140 Not to be conspiratorial, but as I mentioned, the Republican party is chronically online 02:24:24.140 --> 02:24:27.300 And they're most likely aware of conversations that have been happening in black enclaves 02:24:27.300 --> 02:24:30.540 around Hassan Paker and allegations of anti-blackness. 02:24:30.540 --> 02:24:33.420 And that's why somebody like Scott Jennings, who doesn't give a fuck about black people, 02:24:33.420 --> 02:24:36.820 is posting about this, knowing down well that if you watch the clip, you most likely can 02:24:36.820 --> 02:24:38.820 tell that this has been deceptively edited. 02:24:38.820 --> 02:24:40.820 Kind of a fuck what black people care about. 02:24:40.820 --> 02:24:43.540 Oh, black people care about this, black people care about that, like shut the fuck up. 02:24:43.540 --> 02:24:44.540 That's not how politics works. 02:24:44.540 --> 02:24:47.580 Oh, well, Hassan, how dare you like it or not? 02:24:47.580 --> 02:24:48.580 Black people care about this issue. 02:24:48.580 --> 02:24:50.980 It's like it's such a fucking stupid stance. 02:24:50.980 --> 02:24:54.940 Any other black folk want to engage in radical activist language in this chat? 02:24:54.940 --> 02:24:55.940 Suck my f***. 02:24:55.940 --> 02:24:56.940 Yes, dude. 02:24:56.940 --> 02:24:57.940 It's because I'm racist. 02:24:57.940 --> 02:24:58.940 That's why. 02:24:58.940 --> 02:24:59.940 It's because I'm racist, dude. 02:24:59.940 --> 02:25:02.680 Go back to a better time when lynchings were happening. 02:25:02.680 --> 02:25:03.980 This is what I like as a black man. 02:25:03.980 --> 02:25:04.980 Are you always doing too much with black people? 02:25:04.980 --> 02:25:05.980 Leave them alone. 02:25:05.980 --> 02:25:07.980 I want to go back to lynching like I get it, but relax. 02:25:07.980 --> 02:25:08.980 Man, shut the f*** up. 02:25:08.980 --> 02:25:09.980 Okay? 02:25:09.980 --> 02:25:10.980 You got me. 02:25:10.980 --> 02:25:11.980 Okay? 02:25:11.980 --> 02:25:12.980 You got me. 02:25:12.980 --> 02:25:13.980 Because I'm a racist person. 02:25:13.980 --> 02:25:16.580 But it's less about the actual clip and more so about the headlines. 02:25:16.580 --> 02:25:18.900 According to the reports I've seen, it seems as though that Hasan Piker is going 02:25:18.900 --> 02:25:22.140 to be suing the living shit out of Scott Jennings. 02:25:22.140 --> 02:25:24.420 And rightfully so, this is disgusting. 02:25:24.420 --> 02:25:25.880 Not only is it disgusting to Hassan, 02:25:25.880 --> 02:25:28.100 it is actively trying to weaponize black people. 02:25:28.100 --> 02:25:30.260 Right, like I'm not paid the big bucks to be Olivia Pope. 02:25:30.260 --> 02:25:33.020 So I can't really tell you if Abdel Zayed 02:25:33.020 --> 02:25:35.420 is supposed to campaign or not campaign with Hassan. 02:25:35.420 --> 02:25:38.300 But what I will say is that whatever Dr. Zayed decides 02:25:38.300 --> 02:25:39.820 to do, the mainstream media is still 02:25:39.820 --> 02:25:42.460 going to try to use Hassan Piker as a proxy. 02:25:42.460 --> 02:25:44.500 Now, before I get into the full-on conversation 02:25:44.500 --> 02:25:46.500 about Francesca Hong, I do want to go ahead 02:25:46.500 --> 02:25:47.340 and just say this. 02:25:47.340 --> 02:25:50.940 I am not an advocate for the idea of voting no matter who that has been historically weaponized 02:25:50.940 --> 02:25:55.700 by the Democratic establishment to get their base to basically vote for like the Lockheed 02:25:55.700 --> 02:25:57.180 Martin candidate of the year. 02:25:57.180 --> 02:26:01.820 My most centrist opinion in this video is going to be that both the left and liberals 02:26:01.820 --> 02:26:05.660 have not lived up to the idea of voting no matter who like nobody can tell me that 02:26:05.660 --> 02:26:09.740 it Bernie Sanders one in 2016 that the liberal establishment was going to support 02:26:09.740 --> 02:26:11.780 Bernie Sanders against Donald Trump. 02:26:11.780 --> 02:26:15.020 A lot of those individuals would have probably sat out similar to what we saw with Bernie 02:26:15.020 --> 02:26:16.020 supporters. 02:26:16.020 --> 02:26:19.920 24, you had leftists actively sitting out against Kamala Harris because they 02:26:19.920 --> 02:26:22.820 believe that Harris did not live up to their principles. So I say all of this 02:26:22.820 --> 02:26:26.560 to say that nobody has lived up to the ideas of a global matter. In my day to 02:26:26.560 --> 02:26:30.020 day, I hang out with leftists, liberals, communists, socialists, anarchists, all 02:26:30.020 --> 02:26:34.020 of this. And what I've gotten to is all of them hate the Democratic 02:26:34.020 --> 02:26:37.720 establishment just as much as I do. 02:26:37.720 --> 02:26:40.520 Where you said Americans should cancel Thanksgiving should have done this 02:26:40.520 --> 02:26:44.520 in 1621. The post has been deleted. Republicans have been highlighting 02:26:44.520 --> 02:26:47.680 do you still believe that Thanksgiving should be canceled? 02:26:49.880 --> 02:26:52.960 I'm a chef and one of the first meals that I made 02:26:52.960 --> 02:26:56.280 that was for the community when I was 16 02:26:56.280 --> 02:26:57.560 was a Thanksgiving meal. 02:26:57.560 --> 02:27:00.200 Now, I always think my hospitality background 02:27:00.200 --> 02:27:02.160 and owning a restaurant for seven, eight years 02:27:02.160 --> 02:27:04.160 that bringing folks around the table 02:27:04.160 --> 02:27:06.080 to share conversation and build community 02:27:06.080 --> 02:27:07.640 is always a good thing. 02:27:07.640 --> 02:27:09.240 But Thanksgiving is also a time 02:27:09.240 --> 02:27:11.080 that's incredibly painful for many people 02:27:11.080 --> 02:27:11.920 in our communities. 02:27:11.920 --> 02:27:14.200 And so I think there I wanted to make sure 02:27:14.200 --> 02:27:16.320 that people understood that there are multiple views, 02:27:16.320 --> 02:27:18.240 but views can evolve. 02:27:18.240 --> 02:27:21.260 I was not a fan of Francesca Hong as a general candidate. 02:27:21.260 --> 02:27:23.520 And no, it's not because she wasn't supportive 02:27:23.520 --> 02:27:24.360 of Thanksgiving. 02:27:24.360 --> 02:27:25.440 And more so to do with the fact 02:27:25.440 --> 02:27:27.860 that she wasn't a good political athlete. 02:27:27.860 --> 02:27:29.920 And because we exist in this reactionary hell, 02:27:29.920 --> 02:27:32.760 anybody that is anti-Trump is going to constantly be asked 02:27:32.760 --> 02:27:35.240 about the previous quote unquote woke positions. 02:27:35.240 --> 02:27:38.120 And Francesca Hong has an argument that she can make 02:27:38.120 --> 02:27:39.760 in regards to the Thanksgiving tape. 02:27:39.760 --> 02:27:41.800 There was a way for Hong to answer this question 02:27:41.800 --> 02:27:44.320 that allowed for her to acknowledge her stance 02:27:44.320 --> 02:27:45.760 on the issue of Thanksgiving 02:27:45.760 --> 02:27:49.200 while also being able to pivot Francesca as a chef. 02:27:49.200 --> 02:27:50.840 Francesca is running on affordability. 02:27:50.840 --> 02:27:53.040 She could have used this question as an opportunity 02:27:53.040 --> 02:27:55.200 to advocate for a more affordable Thanksgiving. 02:27:55.200 --> 02:27:57.960 There are ways for her to massage this question. 02:27:57.960 --> 02:27:59.680 And it just felt as though every single clip 02:27:59.680 --> 02:28:02.280 I saw of Francesca, she was fighting for her fucking life. 02:28:02.280 --> 02:28:04.840 If you listen to her, her points aren't terrible, 02:28:04.840 --> 02:28:06.760 but we exist in a freaking country 02:28:06.760 --> 02:28:10.560 where the average American is not listening for nuance. 02:28:10.560 --> 02:28:14.960 I mean, her performance in the lead-up to the primary was solvable. 02:28:14.960 --> 02:28:21.260 Those weren't like, it just would never was, 02:28:22.660 --> 02:28:25.460 it was never that big of a problem 02:28:25.460 --> 02:28:29.160 because you could just absolutely solve it with like tighter comms, you know? 02:28:33.060 --> 02:28:35.760 Latest for the Guardian on how well-sized campaign has energized voters 02:28:35.760 --> 02:28:38.360 who lost hope in the Democratic Party in 2024 over Gaza. 02:28:38.360 --> 02:28:41.640 I spoke to Trump Harris and Stein voters along with leaders of the Uncommoned Movement and 02:28:41.640 --> 02:28:42.640 the People's Coalition. 02:28:42.640 --> 02:28:43.640 Nice. 02:28:43.640 --> 02:28:44.640 Nuance points. 02:28:44.640 --> 02:28:45.640 Can we be honest? 02:28:45.640 --> 02:28:51.440 I beg, as we discussed in my previous video, there has been this talking point that has 02:28:51.440 --> 02:28:54.960 been floating around that establishment basically equals the N word. 02:28:54.960 --> 02:29:01.200 And David Carly decided to present that argument to Wisconsin voters. 02:29:01.200 --> 02:29:06.040 I actually agree with David Carly in regards to the term establishment being incorrect 02:29:06.040 --> 02:29:07.040 in regards to him. 02:29:07.040 --> 02:29:10.640 though that you did a lot of work as a public servant, but he hasn't really served in the highest 02:29:10.640 --> 02:29:14.320 levels of American politics. He's never been a governor, he's never been a congressional member, 02:29:14.320 --> 02:29:18.480 and he's never been a senator. And Crowley doesn't seem like somebody that was created in a DNC lab. 02:29:18.480 --> 02:29:22.480 I actually think Crowley is more so a corporate Democrat, unless so an establishment figure. And 02:29:22.480 --> 02:29:26.320 I do think people like us who are using the term establishment as a Petroleum do definitely need 02:29:26.320 --> 02:29:32.880 a co- She's not wrong. She's not wrong. He's gonna be an establishment Democrat. She's 02:29:32.880 --> 02:29:36.460 She's basically saying he doesn't even have enough experience. 02:29:36.460 --> 02:29:38.680 She's saying he's a corporate Democrat. 02:29:38.680 --> 02:29:42.700 We use establishment and corporate paired up with one another. 02:29:42.700 --> 02:29:48.580 But David Crowley doesn't have enough experience to be considered an establishment Democrat. 02:29:48.580 --> 02:29:52.340 So in that regard, she's not wrong. 02:29:52.340 --> 02:29:57.560 We use establishment as a term for right wing Democrat, as a term for corporate Democrat, 02:29:57.560 --> 02:30:02.000 as a term for a do nothing Democrat. 02:30:02.000 --> 02:30:06.280 But technically, when you say he's the average Democrat, you're talking about, you're talking 02:30:06.280 --> 02:30:12.700 about figures that range from Debbie Wasserman Schultz to Jim Clyburn. 02:30:12.700 --> 02:30:18.600 And David Crowley is not established enough to be an establishment Democrat. 02:30:18.600 --> 02:30:28.680 He is not a figure that comes from entrenched power. 02:30:28.680 --> 02:30:34.180 I guess the only thing you could say is if he is sympathetic to the goals of the establishment, 02:30:34.180 --> 02:30:38.680 then you can call them an establishment Democrat. 02:30:38.680 --> 02:30:41.360 So you're admitting we use it pejoratively? 02:30:41.360 --> 02:30:42.360 Yes. 02:30:42.360 --> 02:30:45.640 Yes, I am admitting that. 02:30:45.640 --> 02:30:46.640 What are you talking about? 02:30:46.640 --> 02:30:48.800 It's a pejorative only for us. 02:30:48.800 --> 02:30:54.160 Being established is not a negative thing for people in positions of power. 02:30:54.160 --> 02:30:56.840 It's reflective of how the party is unpopular. 02:30:56.840 --> 02:31:06.940 The fact that establishment Democrat can be considered a pejorative is a direct a, a it 02:31:06.940 --> 02:31:16.360 is proof it's further evidence that the Democratic party is fucking up. 02:31:16.360 --> 02:31:20.960 Tony Embers is the, Ivers is the establishment Democrat and he got the establishment nod 02:31:20.960 --> 02:31:22.960 and the endorsement of the consolidation. 02:31:22.960 --> 02:31:30.160 I'm up with a rubric as a way to distinguish between who is actually in establishment and 02:31:30.160 --> 02:31:32.120 who is just a corporate Democrat. 02:31:32.120 --> 02:31:37.120 I use the term corporate advisedly because based on what David Crawley himself has said, 02:31:37.120 --> 02:31:41.320 he does seem like somebody that is more so accepting of this neoliberal framework. 02:31:41.320 --> 02:31:44.800 I don't know where Crawley has been, but the corporations he's trying to coax into 02:31:44.800 --> 02:31:48.400 coming to Wisconsin are corporations that are actively working with the Trump administration. 02:31:48.400 --> 02:31:51.840 Now even though I agree with David Crawley when he argues that he's not an establishment 02:31:51.840 --> 02:31:57.080 figure, we do need to be honest about the very much omnipresent establishment figure 02:31:57.080 --> 02:31:59.040 behind Tony Evers. 02:31:59.040 --> 02:32:03.160 He ended up leaving the race, was pulled back into the race by Tony Evers and Evers was able 02:32:03.160 --> 02:32:07.720 to work his magic behind the scenes to basically push Crowley to the forefront. 02:32:07.720 --> 02:32:11.520 So basically I'm saying that yes, you may not be of the establishment, but don't be 02:32:11.520 --> 02:32:17.280 confused by people are calling you an establishment candidate when you're literally on behalf 02:32:17.280 --> 02:32:18.280 of the establishment. 02:32:18.280 --> 02:32:23.040 I mean, like as we discussed in the previous video and as we discussed in this video, electability 02:32:23.040 --> 02:32:27.440 is this omnipresent question that is over the heads of every single Democratic voter. 02:32:27.440 --> 02:32:31.320 I think most voters were actually put off by the fact that Francesca Hong wasn't able 02:32:31.320 --> 02:32:37.360 to have a good enough answer to a very simple question unless so her actual political position 02:32:37.360 --> 02:32:38.600 on the Thanksgiving question. 02:32:38.600 --> 02:32:42.240 If that was AOC, if that was Mamdani, if that was Dr. Abdullah El Sayed, if that 02:32:42.240 --> 02:32:45.600 was Jan Asa, if that was Barack Obama, they would have been able to maneuver 02:32:45.600 --> 02:32:46.600 out of that situation. 02:32:46.600 --> 02:32:48.560 Before I start, I want to go ahead and say this. 02:32:48.560 --> 02:32:49.760 I think AOC is good people. 02:32:49.760 --> 02:32:50.600 Right? 02:32:50.600 --> 02:32:52.200 Like I'm not one of those people that is apprehensive to AOC. 02:32:52.200 --> 02:32:53.040 I like AOC. 02:32:53.040 --> 02:32:55.320 And I personally think that AOC would be a good representative 02:32:55.320 --> 02:32:56.160 for the lab. 02:32:56.160 --> 02:32:57.720 She's not perfect, but no fucking candidate is. 02:32:57.720 --> 02:32:59.600 And I think one of the main ways that we can make sure 02:32:59.600 --> 02:33:03.280 that AOC is ready and prepped for 2028 is by making sure 02:33:03.280 --> 02:33:05.360 that when she does something that people don't agree with, 02:33:05.360 --> 02:33:06.680 that people speak up about it. 02:33:06.680 --> 02:33:07.640 I don't believe in this whole idea 02:33:07.640 --> 02:33:08.880 of kissing politicians ass. 02:33:08.880 --> 02:33:10.120 Call these niggas out. 02:33:10.120 --> 02:33:10.960 Call them out. 02:33:10.960 --> 02:33:11.800 They work for you. 02:33:11.800 --> 02:33:13.480 And that means if you have to call out Zora Montany, 02:33:13.480 --> 02:33:15.480 AOC, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, 02:33:15.480 --> 02:33:17.520 Barack Obama call all of them out. 02:33:17.520 --> 02:33:20.920 Recently, ALC was on ABC, I believe, with John Carl. 02:33:20.920 --> 02:33:23.160 And she was asked specifically about Fast.com. 02:33:23.160 --> 02:33:24.600 And ALC's answer would specifically 02:33:24.600 --> 02:33:26.640 focus on this phrasing of World 1.0. 02:33:26.640 --> 02:33:28.960 This was a phrase that I initially saw on Twitter. 02:33:28.960 --> 02:33:31.480 And I believe it was created by a local New York City 02:33:31.480 --> 02:33:33.440 councilman, as ALC mentioned in the video. 02:33:33.440 --> 02:33:36.720 Right, I mean, I think that a lot of these races, 02:33:36.720 --> 02:33:38.480 even right now, they'll have a tendency 02:33:38.480 --> 02:33:39.760 to be nationalized. 02:33:39.760 --> 02:33:43.200 But these races ultimately are local. 02:33:43.200 --> 02:33:44.160 And all politics are local. 02:33:44.160 --> 02:33:49.040 My understanding is that Francesca Hong has made clear 02:33:49.040 --> 02:33:50.920 her presence dances to her looker. 02:33:50.920 --> 02:33:51.760 Yeah, she's moved away from a lot of that. 02:33:51.760 --> 02:33:53.040 Right, she's moved away from it. 02:33:53.040 --> 02:33:55.200 And I have a local city councilman 02:33:55.200 --> 02:33:59.040 that has this saying, woke one was crazy. 02:33:59.040 --> 02:34:01.920 And woke one was crazy, I think that's interesting. 02:34:01.920 --> 02:34:03.280 And I think that what's important 02:34:03.280 --> 02:34:05.440 is that we have to assess what expanded the thing. 02:34:05.440 --> 02:34:06.720 I mean, did the movement go too far 02:34:06.720 --> 02:34:07.560 with some of those positions? 02:34:07.560 --> 02:34:09.080 I mean, you briefly supported 02:34:09.080 --> 02:34:10.480 the idea of defunding the police. 02:34:10.480 --> 02:34:17.580 Well, I think that during this time, and especially during COVID, there was a huge opening of 02:34:17.580 --> 02:34:18.580 the overtime window. 02:34:18.580 --> 02:34:19.580 We were shut down. 02:34:19.580 --> 02:34:21.880 There were some of the highest unemployment rates that we have seen because of those shut 02:34:21.880 --> 02:34:22.880 downs. 02:34:22.880 --> 02:34:28.160 And I think that the doors were really open in trying to entertain any and every policy 02:34:28.160 --> 02:34:30.280 that was going to get us to a better place. 02:34:30.280 --> 02:34:33.360 One of the main reasons why I don't like this conversation, and I don't like this 02:34:33.360 --> 02:34:37.280 whole woke 1.0 versus woke 2.0 thing, is that if you really think about it, if 02:34:37.280 --> 02:34:42.000 really like deep in. We're basically buying into right wing framing. We're basically buying into 02:34:42.000 --> 02:34:46.960 the woke mind virus framing. We're buying into what Fox News calls the great awoken. Fox News turned 02:34:46.960 --> 02:34:51.200 that into a pejorative alongside terms like DI and alongside terms like CRT. And you have one 02:34:51.200 --> 02:34:55.520 of the most popular, one of the most visible leftists in America, somebody that is emblematic 02:34:55.520 --> 02:35:01.920 of the American labs, getting on TV and just cackling. Like what does it say that ALC thinks 02:35:01.920 --> 02:35:06.080 that in order for her to win in 2028 and in order for her to become president, that she 02:35:06.080 --> 02:35:07.960 she feels the need to detach herself 02:35:07.960 --> 02:35:10.840 from a lot of people's political awakening in 2020. 02:35:10.840 --> 02:35:13.600 What does it say that the very top echelon? 02:35:13.600 --> 02:35:18.600 I think everyone has their own personal interpretation 02:35:21.800 --> 02:35:22.740 of what this meant. 02:35:22.740 --> 02:35:26.360 And if you're like, if you're super, 02:35:26.360 --> 02:35:27.920 if you're more charitable to AOC, 02:35:27.920 --> 02:35:30.200 you have a more charitable interpretation. 02:35:30.200 --> 02:35:31.760 If you're less charitable to AOC, 02:35:31.760 --> 02:35:33.960 you have a less charitable interpretation. 02:35:33.960 --> 02:35:42.860 Um, I don't think there's like one universal principle that people are talking about. 02:35:42.860 --> 02:35:50.820 And I can't speak for, for AOC, uh, at all, but I've told you guys what I believe about 02:35:50.820 --> 02:35:58.500 like the old one was crazy because there were social accesses and it made, um, like 02:35:58.500 --> 02:36:04.500 These were the same things that I was arguing against even back then, you know? 02:36:07.940 --> 02:36:13.860 The same idea of just like coming across as unapproachable, coming across as like, 02:36:17.380 --> 02:36:24.180 coming across as a rather draconian in our policing of behavior and language, 02:36:24.180 --> 02:36:29.900 Not to say that there isn't any appropriate instances of policing language, right? 02:36:29.900 --> 02:36:35.620 But it's just, there were a lot of instances where people are just being kind of fucking 02:36:35.620 --> 02:36:37.060 lame and annoying. 02:36:37.060 --> 02:36:41.140 That's it. 02:36:41.140 --> 02:36:43.980 That's at least my assessment of it. 02:36:43.980 --> 02:36:52.260 Yeah, just like a point of privilege, just not communicating with others in the way that 02:36:52.260 --> 02:36:57.260 that in the way that one does with their friends, 02:36:59.420 --> 02:37:02.140 being a lot more forgiving and a lot more charitable 02:37:02.140 --> 02:37:04.220 to people in the real world, 02:37:05.180 --> 02:37:08.820 when all of the activism is taking place online, 02:37:09.720 --> 02:37:14.220 you can be a lot more hardened in your positions 02:37:14.220 --> 02:37:17.940 and un-nuanced and outright aggressive. 02:37:17.940 --> 02:37:25.820 It also wasn't a moral failure of the left because they were still and are still on the 02:37:25.820 --> 02:37:26.820 righteous side. 02:37:26.820 --> 02:37:33.860 It's just you can't be self-righteous about it, you know, because we're trying to, we're 02:37:33.860 --> 02:37:36.060 trying to get people to understand our positions. 02:37:36.060 --> 02:37:41.500 We're trying to get people to overcome a lifetime of social conditioning. 02:37:41.500 --> 02:37:45.180 It's very difficult. 02:37:45.180 --> 02:37:47.500 You always say, don't accept the opposition's framing. 02:37:47.500 --> 02:37:53.200 This is kind of that, no, that is a valid critique to make about this woke 1.0 framing, 02:37:53.200 --> 02:37:54.840 but it's not the opposition's framing. 02:37:54.840 --> 02:38:00.440 It's my framing as well, which is why I have a hard time. 02:38:00.440 --> 02:38:06.480 It's why I have a hard time trying to push through this because I don't think you should 02:38:06.480 --> 02:38:09.840 ever drop the policies. 02:38:09.840 --> 02:38:11.560 I'm not advocating for that. 02:38:11.560 --> 02:38:16.080 And I will always stand against anyone who does advocate for that. 02:38:16.080 --> 02:38:31.200 you know. For me, it's not accepting oppositional framing because think about it this way. I 02:38:31.200 --> 02:38:36.400 never did that for anti DEI initiatives. I never did that for defund the police. And 02:38:36.400 --> 02:38:43.800 I've never demanded people do that for any of those things, right? Because I understand 02:38:43.800 --> 02:38:54.400 But the purpose of that is, my argument always is just we have to be more appealing. 02:38:54.400 --> 02:38:58.420 We have to be more understanding of social conditioning, we just have to be more appealing 02:38:58.420 --> 02:39:02.280 when we present our side. 02:39:02.280 --> 02:39:08.720 Just because our side is morally correct doesn't mean that people see it as such. 02:39:08.720 --> 02:39:14.760 of the DSA and the very top echelon of the insurgent labs feel as though that intersectional 02:39:14.760 --> 02:39:18.880 politics and intersectionality specifically intersectionality that has to do with applied 02:39:18.880 --> 02:39:23.120 to black people and has to do with over policing in black communities is no longer advantage 02:39:23.120 --> 02:39:27.640 to the movement. Not to also point out the obvious, but if we would have taken the idea 02:39:27.640 --> 02:39:31.380 of demilitarizing the police seriously, a lot of the stuff that we currently see with 02:39:31.380 --> 02:39:35.800 ICE would not be happening. A lot of the stuff that we currently see happening with 02:39:35.800 --> 02:39:40.680 Iran would not be happy. Because on a surface level, a lot of us would be more conscious 02:39:40.680 --> 02:39:44.600 of how our taxpayer dollars are being used to harm individuals within our community, 02:39:44.600 --> 02:39:49.320 and we would be more apprehensive to bombing children abroad if we would have taken 20. 02:39:49.320 --> 02:39:55.880 I also do think that the real thing that killed Woke 1.0 and ushered in the era of Woke 2.0 was 02:39:56.680 --> 02:40:03.560 kind of Israel. A lot of like Zionist advocacy organizations really went above and beyond 02:40:03.560 --> 02:40:13.280 claiming anti-Semitism, like claiming that the woke position was to be pro-genocide and 02:40:13.280 --> 02:40:17.400 people were like, what the fuck are you talking about? That's not the case at all. When the 02:40:17.400 --> 02:40:23.320 overwhelming majority of the the wokes, the quote-unquote wokes were like, yeah, this is 02:40:23.320 --> 02:40:31.800 ridiculous. This is a genocide. This is unacceptable. And a lot of the NGOs that get, you know, 02:40:31.800 --> 02:40:38.800 Well, funding from Zionist groups and Zionist donors were still carrying out this NGO backed 02:40:38.800 --> 02:40:45.280 messaging in a way that Hillary Rodham Clinton did against Bernie Sanders, the whole Bernie 02:40:45.280 --> 02:40:46.280 Bros narrative. 02:40:46.280 --> 02:40:47.280 Right. 02:40:47.280 --> 02:40:53.800 In a way that they're still doing to me, Hassan is anti black, Hassan is transphobic, 02:40:53.800 --> 02:40:56.920 Hassan is homophobic, Hassan is misogynistic, Hassan is anti black. 02:40:56.920 --> 02:41:03.920 That is literally a weaponization of non-intersectional hollowed out identity politics. 02:41:03.920 --> 02:41:09.720 Yeah, woke us when you acknowledge facts like the existence of Puerto Rico and Guam. 02:41:09.720 --> 02:41:12.960 It's similar to how the pro-Israel diehards have started treating basic descriptions 02:41:12.960 --> 02:41:20.040 like occupation and settler as anti-Israel dog whistles. 02:41:20.040 --> 02:41:23.980 So. 02:41:23.980 --> 02:41:26.760 Lo and behold, this person also is a huge, uh, 02:41:26.760 --> 02:41:29.800 uh, HOSBURR operative. Well, not huge, but 02:41:29.800 --> 02:41:33.720 he's tiny and irrelevant, but it doesn't really matter. 02:41:33.720 --> 02:41:36.640 HOSBURR operative, nonetheless. 02:41:36.640 --> 02:41:39.760 Hey, 20 Seriously, we will not exist in a world where ICE is kidnapping people. 02:41:39.760 --> 02:41:43.640 We will not be in a world where jail group is able to do all of these heinous things 02:41:43.640 --> 02:41:47.680 at these different detention centers and then also basically sell their services 02:41:47.680 --> 02:41:49.360 in regards to Palestine. 02:41:49.360 --> 02:41:54.600 I'm sorry, but you're holding onto it because it's the easiest parry when you're trying to argue for less academic and scaldy tactics 02:41:54.600 --> 02:41:56.760 Just find another argument. Let this one go 02:41:57.360 --> 02:42:01.880 Sorry big dog where your personal interpretation doesn't override the pervasive nature of right-wing reframing 02:42:01.920 --> 02:42:05.760 You got to interrogate this a bit in my opinion bit more in my opinion 02:42:05.760 --> 02:42:12.480 There's a space for changing rhetoric, but it's not through poking holes in the woke in a woke for the right wing to ram through no 02:42:14.600 --> 02:42:18.820 Because people yelled at me even back then when I said this exact same shit 02:42:19.360 --> 02:42:26.360 sometimes in the exact same ways because I have been a champion of rehabilitation and 02:42:26.360 --> 02:42:34.360 and and and I've always demanded charitability for myself and for others as well who don't 02:42:34.360 --> 02:42:40.680 agree with us don't see the world with our eyes right always I've never stopped doing 02:42:40.680 --> 02:42:44.880 that and I was in back then when I would say this people will yell at me and they'd 02:42:44.880 --> 02:42:48.600 say oh this is emotional labor you're demanding emotional labor for me all this 02:42:48.600 --> 02:42:54.120 shit. So no, of course, I'm not going to quote unquote give up on this, because I think it's 02:42:54.120 --> 02:43:00.840 very important. It's important for people to to try to pummel through it to try to fucking force 02:43:00.840 --> 02:43:06.680 themselves through these barriers, and just kind of eat it at times even so that you can actually 02:43:06.680 --> 02:43:16.600 get people on board, because our enemies, due to their, you know, ideological and 02:43:16.600 --> 02:43:23.240 instructional positions can just get away with it. They can dig a sit there and they will always 02:43:23.240 --> 02:43:28.520 describe their positions. They will always make the argument. Part of it is because if you're 02:43:28.520 --> 02:43:33.240 white and you're making a pro-white supremacist argument, you can lean into the structural 02:43:33.240 --> 02:43:38.440 forms of violence to make it seem like you're not actually demanding additional kinds of 02:43:38.440 --> 02:43:43.880 violence. And then the other way that you can get away with it is because when you're white, 02:43:43.880 --> 02:43:49.000 you're not being dehumanized as opposed to white supremacy and how it dehumanized black people. 02:43:49.000 --> 02:43:54.840 So of course there's the emotional labor argument doesn't work in the same way if you're a white 02:43:54.840 --> 02:44:04.440 kid making an advocacy for white supremacy. Having said that, we still have to do it. We still have 02:44:04.440 --> 02:44:08.920 to push through. But that would recommend reading, especially if you're somebody like me, 02:44:08.920 --> 02:44:12.760 that cares a lot about the intersectional analysis between, uh, black 02:44:13.400 --> 02:44:18.920 Just read the Sean tweet and keep it moving. Yeah. No, this is the best example of it. Yes. There's already a word for this. 02:44:18.920 --> 02:44:23.400 It's called liberalism. The term woke being assigned to a catchall term for liberals and removed the original meaning 02:44:23.640 --> 02:44:27.400 was the express goal for the right anymore on Svelpa or hook line and sinker, but like 02:44:28.200 --> 02:44:31.800 I agree with this. It's non intersectional hollowed out 02:44:32.520 --> 02:44:37.240 identity politics being weaponized oftentimes towards people's left flank 02:44:37.240 --> 02:44:43.960 left flank, Republicans do it to their Democrat counterparts, Democratic Party counterparts 02:44:43.960 --> 02:44:49.120 are to the left flank of the Republican Party broadly, and they will weaponize it in the 02:44:49.120 --> 02:44:55.040 same way, like the example I always use is Gavin Newsom, okay, and then establishment 02:44:55.040 --> 02:45:01.200 centrist Democrats will deploy this perhaps most successfully to their left flank, which 02:45:01.200 --> 02:45:11.600 are the insurgents. It doesn't work in the opposite direction. Nobody gives a fuck. The 02:45:11.600 --> 02:45:16.560 retort always is, yeah, fuck you. I don't care. 02:45:16.560 --> 02:45:21.480 People and the plight of Palestinians and Arab Americans, this is a really good book 02:45:21.480 --> 02:45:25.440 to read. Angela Plains out a lot of the same tools and a lot of the same, a lot of the 02:45:25.440 --> 02:45:29.840 Sean is disagreeing with you. He doesn't say this is woke excess. He says his liberalism. 02:45:29.840 --> 02:45:32.540 No, Sean and I agree that it is liberalism. 02:45:32.540 --> 02:45:36.880 He just thinks that it's capitulation to right-wing framing when you center it around 02:45:36.880 --> 02:45:40.360 woke 1.0 or woke 2.0. 02:45:40.360 --> 02:45:43.360 That's the, it's a messaging technique. 02:45:43.360 --> 02:45:48.780 It's a messaging tactic that him and I disagree with, but we fundamentally are not at odds 02:45:48.780 --> 02:45:53.880 on this argument at all. 02:45:53.880 --> 02:45:58.600 And everybody says, because it is, and my argument always is, I'm the king of 02:45:58.600 --> 02:46:06.600 woke. I'm still woke as fuck. So it's not like I'm saying, I both use it as a, you know, 02:46:06.600 --> 02:46:13.480 ironically, as a pejorative at times, but it's just an optics conversation at that point. 02:46:13.480 --> 02:46:18.920 We don't disagree on the fundamentals. We're saying the exact same thing. He thinks it's 02:46:18.920 --> 02:46:27.400 an optics. To lean into the optics is to give a concession to the right that they 02:46:27.400 --> 02:46:36.040 do not deserve. I think that language evolves over time no matter what we say and do. And 02:46:36.040 --> 02:46:42.520 that I both at times will say I'm woke obviously and also will use it as a pejorative too. 02:46:45.880 --> 02:46:48.040 Same tools and a lot of the same companies and a lot of the same. 02:46:48.040 --> 02:46:53.040 But I've never conceded on, I've never made concessions. 02:46:53.080 --> 02:46:58.080 I have never, ever made concessions on the policy side 02:47:02.040 --> 02:47:03.880 on my advocacy. 02:47:03.880 --> 02:47:05.960 Stop being weaponized against individuals in Ferguson 02:47:05.960 --> 02:47:07.800 or some of the same exact companies 02:47:07.800 --> 02:47:09.360 and some of the same exact tech 02:47:09.360 --> 02:47:11.360 that was weaponized against Palestinians. 02:47:11.360 --> 02:47:13.880 I say this to say that this idea, this belief 02:47:13.880 --> 02:47:15.800 that woke 1.0 is a phase 02:47:15.800 --> 02:47:17.440 and woke 2.0 is a different phase 02:47:17.440 --> 02:47:18.880 is incorrect 02:47:18.880 --> 02:47:21.680 not to get on my horse but all of our struggles are interconnected because 02:47:21.680 --> 02:47:24.480 they're all coming from the same exact same companies organizations and 02:47:24.480 --> 02:47:26.360 systems 02:47:26.360 --> 02:47:28.480 boundaries 02:47:28.480 --> 02:47:30.440 does Israel recognize 02:47:30.440 --> 02:47:33.400 they understand that there are four sets of talks about which 02:47:33.400 --> 02:47:34.920 which boundaries do they recognize 02:47:34.920 --> 02:47:39.800 after four months of negotiation resolution two hundred and forty two was voted for by Israel 02:47:39.800 --> 02:47:43.400 but has never been sanctioned by the PLO 02:47:43.400 --> 02:47:46.760 and two for the contents of what it is someone you don't recognize the sanction 02:47:46.760 --> 02:47:48.120 anything 02:47:48.120 --> 02:47:49.120 which is a 02:47:49.120 --> 02:47:50.920 because that's not clear 02:47:50.920 --> 02:47:54.880 well if you wait for someone you don't recognize the sanction 02:47:54.880 --> 02:47:57.280 anything to you and that is respected 02:47:57.280 --> 02:47:59.760 for forty eight petition boundaries 02:47:59.760 --> 02:48:02.200 is this respected in its appeal 02:48:02.200 --> 02:48:03.460 to honor the boundary 02:48:03.460 --> 02:48:06.260 like we can talk about at some point everybody started selling 02:48:06.260 --> 02:48:07.500 but the phd academic 02:48:07.500 --> 02:48:10.320 in normal conversation we can talk about the what kind of occasion of the 02:48:10.320 --> 02:48:11.240 democratic party 02:48:11.240 --> 02:48:15.600 and everybody dressing in kentai cloth, we could talk about the performance of KFC having 02:48:15.600 --> 02:48:20.600 a BLM chicken fist, of CYFU and liberals using terms like Latin X and posting black 02:48:20.600 --> 02:48:21.600 squares. 02:48:21.600 --> 02:48:22.600 And no fucking way. 02:48:22.600 --> 02:48:24.240 I don't even remember this. 02:48:24.240 --> 02:48:25.640 What the fuck? 02:48:25.640 --> 02:48:28.640 No, this is real, right? 02:48:28.640 --> 02:48:29.800 There's no way. 02:48:29.800 --> 02:48:31.800 There's no way. 02:48:31.800 --> 02:48:34.280 I mean, dude, I've talked about this extensively. 02:48:34.280 --> 02:48:42.300 I've talked about this extensively, corporate nullification and co-optation of real, legitimate 02:48:42.300 --> 02:48:49.980 issues of social justice, wokeness in the way that it was designed in quote unquote, woke 02:48:49.980 --> 02:49:01.940 1.0, is quite literally the most like fake manufactured version of actual demands for 02:49:01.940 --> 02:49:10.820 social justice. But also, that's not the reason why people have criticisms against it. By and 02:49:10.820 --> 02:49:16.500 large, America is a very reactionary country. I don't believe this is real. Reuters says it's 02:49:16.500 --> 02:49:24.100 not real. Fact check, KFC did not tweet drumstick image. Okay, thank God. Okay. 02:49:24.100 --> 02:49:27.780 We can talk about all those things. Like if the argument was that we're going to change 02:49:27.780 --> 02:49:30.660 the way that we talk about these specific issues, but we're still going to try to 02:49:30.660 --> 02:49:34.340 find ways to implement these policies then then I could be on board then maybe I could 02:49:34.340 --> 02:49:35.340 be on board. 02:49:35.340 --> 02:49:40.380 However, something tells me in the back of my mind, wait, while the picture was once 02:49:40.380 --> 02:49:46.180 used by a regional KFC account, the tweet shown in the screenshot is not authentic. 02:49:46.180 --> 02:49:51.440 The image was shared by the Instagram account of KFC Trinidad and Tobago in 2020 to mark 02:49:51.440 --> 02:50:01.720 emancipation date and no way and no fucking way and no way so it is a real 02:50:01.720 --> 02:50:08.800 tweet oh my god oh my god it was KFC Trinidad and Tobago that posted it oh 02:50:08.800 --> 02:50:19.760 my god it just wasn't about BLM it wasn't about Black Lives Matter 02:50:21.440 --> 02:50:39.840 Let's talk about KFC Black Power drumstick. 02:50:39.840 --> 02:50:40.840 Why is it bad optics? 02:50:40.840 --> 02:50:44.880 Because the association of black people and fried chicken is a pernicious racial stereotype. 02:50:44.880 --> 02:50:57.040 from sentientmedia.org. Oh my lord, oh my lord, lordy, lordy. KFC Trinidad deleted this ad to 02:50:57.040 --> 02:51:02.800 acknowledge Trinidad and Tobago's August 1st Emancipation Day from a social media office in 02:51:02.800 --> 02:51:08.560 Weldesur Backlash. Another reason to diversify your marketing teams and organizations is okay 02:51:08.560 --> 02:51:10.820 to laugh to express your shock and anger. 02:51:17.080 --> 02:51:19.960 I don't know the history or if it's multiple instances 02:51:19.960 --> 02:51:22.000 of the broader American left throwing black issues 02:51:22.000 --> 02:51:23.520 under the bus because they did not find 02:51:23.520 --> 02:51:25.760 the advantages to their broader plan 02:51:25.760 --> 02:51:29.400 makes me a little apprehensive by ALC and Zora Mamdani, 02:51:29.400 --> 02:51:31.680 both individuals that are byproducts of Woke 1.0 02:51:31.680 --> 02:51:33.120 because not to point out the obvious, 02:51:33.120 --> 02:51:35.520 both ALC and Zora Mamdani would not be in the offices 02:51:35.520 --> 02:51:38.320 that they are in without the power of Woke 1.0. 02:51:38.320 --> 02:51:39.960 As I pointed out in my previous video, 02:51:39.960 --> 02:51:42.280 I honestly think Ole for me at Tau's framework 02:51:42.280 --> 02:51:44.480 on how to talk about this is probably the best 02:51:44.480 --> 02:51:47.160 by focusing on the elite capture of these movements 02:51:47.160 --> 02:51:49.520 and talking about how powerful institutions 02:51:49.520 --> 02:51:51.240 and how powerful elites use this verbiage 02:51:51.240 --> 02:51:52.800 as a way to keep themselves in power 02:51:52.800 --> 02:51:55.080 and to keep those that they preferred in power 02:51:55.080 --> 02:51:56.680 that allows us to actually focus 02:51:56.680 --> 02:51:58.000 on those that benefited most 02:51:58.000 --> 02:52:00.520 from the elite aspects of these conversations 02:52:00.520 --> 02:52:02.680 instead of just missing the language 02:52:02.680 --> 02:52:05.720 and the verbiage of the BLM movement and the CRT movement. 02:52:05.720 --> 02:52:07.640 That would allow us to hold the Nancy Pelosi's 02:52:07.640 --> 02:52:09.680 of the world accountable for their cosplay, 02:52:09.680 --> 02:52:11.680 but also utilize the intersectionality 02:52:11.680 --> 02:52:13.840 as a way to build a broad-based coalition 02:52:13.840 --> 02:52:15.960 as the term was initially created to meet. 02:52:15.960 --> 02:52:18.520 If the insurgency is currently buying into this idea 02:52:18.520 --> 02:52:20.760 of right-wing framing around issues like BLM 02:52:20.760 --> 02:52:21.960 and defunding the police, 02:52:21.960 --> 02:52:24.160 what's to stop them from basically doing the same shit 02:52:24.160 --> 02:52:26.760 in 2030 when it comes to the pro-Palestinian movement 02:52:26.760 --> 02:52:28.840 and when it comes to the idea of abolishing ICE? 02:52:28.840 --> 02:52:30.160 Not to be conspiratorial, 02:52:30.160 --> 02:52:31.880 but if a group of people have already shown me 02:52:31.880 --> 02:52:33.960 that they have no backbone in regards to issues 02:52:33.960 --> 02:52:35.920 that they initially fought on behalf of, 02:52:35.920 --> 02:52:36.920 what is it about? 02:52:36.920 --> 02:52:40.280 Respectfully, I think you're overestimating your influence people's general opinion of you here 02:52:40.760 --> 02:52:46.480 Fox in the right absolutely have a much larger region more control over the MSM narrative than you do and vast majority 02:52:46.480 --> 02:52:51.940 People do not know that you're the king of woke you come across the sys at white dude telling marginalized people that you're abandoning 02:52:52.440 --> 02:52:57.120 Intersectionality and not championing woke issues. It raises a racist dog whistle 02:52:57.960 --> 02:53:05.260 This is exactly what I was really annoyed by for the duration of like the 2020s of the early 2020s 02:53:05.260 --> 02:53:14.060 because I have already explained my position on this issue 750 million times and then someone will 02:53:14.060 --> 02:53:19.460 immediately come in and go listen you're doing a bodies in space is sweetie and then I fucking 02:53:19.460 --> 02:53:24.980 flip on the chatter and then when I flip on the chatter someone fucking clips it and then goes 02:53:24.980 --> 02:53:40.580 Hassan absolutely despises social progress it's so funny too because it's 02:53:40.580 --> 02:53:48.260 like on the one hand on the one hand the first hour of the show is literally 02:53:48.260 --> 02:53:53.100 the entire media apparatus calling me a Muslim terrorist that wants to do 02:53:53.100 --> 02:53:58.300 Islamic Sharia, and everybody understands how racist that is. And then the second half of the 02:53:58.300 --> 02:54:04.060 broadcast, when I say, Hey, listen, like, um, I think we should be more palatable, more appealing 02:54:04.060 --> 02:54:10.140 with our, with our demands, uh, for, uh, with our advocacy, with our demands for social justice. 02:54:10.140 --> 02:54:15.980 And then the second half of the broadcast is people calling me, uh, a cis set white man 02:54:15.980 --> 02:54:23.820 who's at a touch and at a step with the demands of people of color, BIPOC. 02:54:31.820 --> 02:54:33.580 Such is the nature of the Turk. 02:54:37.100 --> 02:54:37.980 It is what it is. 02:54:37.980 --> 02:54:41.260 Supposed to make me believe that they're willing to do it in regards to those issues. 02:54:41.260 --> 02:54:45.900 aren't defunding the police and abolishing ICE, basically cousins, and if AOC and the 02:54:45.900 --> 02:54:48.980 Broad American Left have already bought into the idea that defunding the police was just 02:54:48.980 --> 02:54:52.140 this crazy woke era that they went through, then what's to say that- 02:54:52.140 --> 02:54:58.940 Yeah, I think if politicians are doing that, it's unacceptable. 02:54:58.940 --> 02:55:01.660 That's my point. 02:55:01.660 --> 02:55:06.740 And I'm not so certain as to all politicians doing that, but only time will show. 02:55:11.260 --> 02:55:13.260 I'm not going to be able to 02:55:13.260 --> 02:55:15.260 get out of this. I'm not going 02:55:15.260 --> 02:55:17.260 to be able to get out of this. 02:55:17.260 --> 02:55:19.260 Abolishing ice is not just 02:55:19.260 --> 02:55:21.260 another crazy woke era that 02:55:21.260 --> 02:55:23.260 they're going through. What's 02:55:23.260 --> 02:55:24.260 to stop Republicans almost black 02:55:24.260 --> 02:55:25.260 people do not believe that a 02:55:25.260 --> 02:55:27.260 request for change can be made 02:55:27.260 --> 02:55:29.260 more palatable, which is part 02:55:29.260 --> 02:55:31.260 of the problem. Um I 02:55:31.260 --> 02:55:33.260 understand that I'm but I'm 02:55:33.260 --> 02:55:35.260 a messenger. 02:55:35.260 --> 02:55:37.260 So I'm always going to try 02:55:37.260 --> 02:55:39.260 to explain the position no 02:55:39.260 --> 02:55:44.140 great Democrats from arguing that abolishing ICE is just another crazy era. 02:55:44.140 --> 02:55:49.140 After making that video, I've seen a lot of videos and conversations around what exactly 02:55:49.140 --> 02:55:52.380 is the disconnect between black voters and the broader DSA. 02:55:52.380 --> 02:55:55.420 This leads us into our section about the black voter paradox. 02:55:55.420 --> 02:55:59.300 As mentioned in my previous video, black voters are the most supportive of the DSA, 02:55:59.300 --> 02:56:03.740 but black voters don't seem to be that supportive of DSA candidates or DSA-aligned 02:56:03.740 --> 02:56:04.740 candidates. 02:56:04.740 --> 02:56:05.740 So why is that? 02:56:05.740 --> 02:56:09.100 And is there potentially something we can do to try to close this gap? 02:56:09.100 --> 02:56:14.100 Now before I provide what I think is a great answer, if you personally ask me, to this question, 02:56:14.100 --> 02:56:16.500 I do want to go ahead and just point out the obvious. 02:56:16.500 --> 02:56:21.180 I am one singular voter, which means I am one individual that is a part of a larger community. 02:56:21.180 --> 02:56:25.420 I emphasize this because as I mentioned throughout this video, voters are not monolithic no 02:56:25.420 --> 02:56:26.780 matter what group they're from. 02:56:26.780 --> 02:56:31.740 So it is beneficial for politicians as well as organizations similar to the DSA to 02:56:31.740 --> 02:56:35.700 actively engage with each individual voter, instead of just taking my analysis as a 02:56:35.700 --> 02:56:39.140 catch-all for all of the nuances and the complexities of the black community. 02:56:39.140 --> 02:56:42.500 One of the main things that I want to bring back up that I touched on in my previous video 02:56:42.500 --> 02:56:46.340 is the generational divide between older black voters and younger black voters. 02:56:46.340 --> 02:56:49.620 Similar to what we've seen with other groups, there's a huge generational divide 02:56:49.620 --> 02:56:53.700 within the black community when it comes to this idea of socialism. As we've seen with the 02:56:53.700 --> 02:56:58.900 broader populace, black voters under the age of 45 are more understanding and accepting of 02:56:58.900 --> 02:57:03.700 socialism. And the DSA, for example, DSA leadership ignoring is blind spots from what I heard. 02:57:03.700 --> 02:57:09.180 They've little to no communication with Angie after a primary when this is by far her biggest electoral victory 02:57:09.180 --> 02:57:14.060 DSA members ever had and she did it by making a completely inverse coalition to the normal DSA ones 02:57:14.060 --> 02:57:16.060 They should be begging her to accept their help 02:57:16.060 --> 02:57:23.980 Well, I think you're you guys are reading quote-unquote the tea leaves in that in that assessment a little too much 02:57:23.980 --> 02:57:28.540 You're reading a little too hard into it. You don't know what the campaign wants 02:57:28.540 --> 02:57:35.540 And I'm telling you this as someone who's obviously had a little bit more experience with campaigns. 02:57:35.540 --> 02:57:44.540 You don't know. All I'm saying is we don't know. We don't know. Angie might not want it. 02:57:44.540 --> 02:57:51.540 You know what I mean? I'm not saying that that's the case. I don't have additional information here, right? 02:57:51.540 --> 02:57:57.540 But it's a statewide race. She's probably engaging in this balancing act right now. 02:57:57.540 --> 02:58:07.540 And I think we're making assertions about what the DSA is doing and isn't doing. 02:58:07.540 --> 02:58:12.540 And I don't think you know what's going on behind the scenes at all. 02:58:12.540 --> 02:58:15.540 And I don't either. I don't either. 02:58:15.540 --> 02:58:28.540 My argument is, is yes, the essay, regardless of endorsement or not, should be door knocking for Angie, even if she opposes the endorsement. 02:58:34.540 --> 02:58:41.540 But it's very funny that like the establishment Democrats in the state are aggressively coming after her to sever those ties, no matter what. 02:58:45.540 --> 02:58:51.660 I'm telling you how you come across the marginalized people. I'm not telling you how I feel about 02:58:51.660 --> 02:58:56.020 it. I am aware of your position on things. I'm just giving you feedback on how your message 02:58:56.020 --> 02:59:09.180 comes across the people outside of this community. I know I understand that. I understand that 02:59:09.180 --> 02:59:12.540 you were making an argument as to how people see me outside of this community. And I 02:59:12.540 --> 02:59:18.860 saying it's fucking frustrating. Okay. Cause not to do this, but like my feelings get hurt a little 02:59:18.860 --> 02:59:24.540 bit too. You know that, right? When I have to, when I have to like dodge landmine after 02:59:24.540 --> 02:59:32.140 fucking landmine every goddamn day. And then I, and then I, I hear about how like I come 02:59:32.140 --> 02:59:37.820 across as an out of touch sys a white guy. Yeah, I know, I know, I know I do. Okay. 02:59:37.820 --> 02:59:42.900 I'm a human being as well, okay? 02:59:42.900 --> 02:59:49.780 I've spent my entire life advocating for these sorts of, for these causes. 02:59:49.780 --> 02:59:56.740 So it doesn't feel great when I hear all the time after eating a barrage of fucking racialized 02:59:56.740 --> 03:00:02.820 animus on a daily fucking basis, the idea that I'm also coming across as out of step 03:00:02.820 --> 03:00:20.100 and out of touch with the issues that pertain to communities of color. 03:00:20.100 --> 03:00:21.020 That was my point. 03:00:32.820 --> 03:00:36.980 it has a movement. While older black voters seem to be more supportive of the democratic 03:00:36.980 --> 03:00:40.260 established, generational divide within the black community is similar to the generational 03:00:40.260 --> 03:00:44.060 divide that we see with other communities. The issue of race is compounded by a multitude 03:00:44.060 --> 03:00:47.740 of other factors. For example, in regards to the congressional black caucus, that's 03:00:47.740 --> 03:00:52.420 an issue of age and also an issue of proximity to power. We also need to focus on the 03:00:52.420 --> 03:00:56.380 obvious class disparities between the very upper echelon of the black community as 03:00:56.380 --> 03:01:00.940 well as the very poor, as well as the very poor amongst us. I say this to say 03:01:00.940 --> 03:01:03.380 that in order to make a multi-cultural coalition 03:01:03.380 --> 03:01:05.540 in practice and not only in name, 03:01:05.540 --> 03:01:07.700 we need to have a wholesale analysis of this issue 03:01:07.700 --> 03:01:10.280 to just a class issue, to just the age issue, 03:01:10.280 --> 03:01:12.660 or trying to strip race out of the analysis. 03:01:12.660 --> 03:01:14.500 And as I mentioned within the previous video, 03:01:14.500 --> 03:01:16.140 there definitely is a age dynamic. 03:01:16.140 --> 03:01:17.500 There is a generational gap. 03:01:17.500 --> 03:01:19.940 However, individuals under the age of 45 03:01:19.940 --> 03:01:22.260 within the black community have also spoken up 03:01:22.260 --> 03:01:24.220 about the DSA's race issue. 03:01:24.220 --> 03:01:26.180 After making that video, a lot of people have asked me, 03:01:26.180 --> 03:01:29.260 what exactly can leftists do to try to mend these fences 03:01:29.260 --> 03:01:30.140 and close this gap? 03:01:30.140 --> 03:01:31.380 The answer is very simple. 03:01:31.380 --> 03:01:32.660 Talk to black voters. 03:01:32.660 --> 03:01:33.500 Yes. 03:01:33.500 --> 03:01:34.860 I know that may not sound satisfactory, 03:01:34.860 --> 03:01:36.140 but that is the only answer. 03:01:36.140 --> 03:01:38.380 The only way to actually help mend this gap 03:01:38.380 --> 03:01:40.700 is by the DSA and organizations 03:01:40.700 --> 03:01:42.020 within the broader American Left 03:01:42.020 --> 03:01:43.620 actually speaking to black voters. 03:01:43.620 --> 03:01:45.180 And instead of buying into this idea 03:01:45.180 --> 03:01:46.700 that all black voters are monolithic 03:01:46.700 --> 03:01:49.180 and therefore the American Left should not engage with them 03:01:49.180 --> 03:01:50.480 or even talk to their issues 03:01:50.480 --> 03:01:52.020 because obviously those individuals 03:01:52.020 --> 03:01:54.460 are in the back for the Democratic establishment, right? 03:01:54.460 --> 03:01:56.340 Like I've seen some of you Niggas argue. 03:01:56.340 --> 03:01:57.780 The South Carolina primary is coming up 03:01:57.780 --> 03:02:01.180 And I've already heard stories, analysis, words 03:02:01.180 --> 03:02:02.820 about how South Carolina basically means 03:02:02.820 --> 03:02:04.740 that moderates have it on lock. 03:02:04.740 --> 03:02:06.500 That right there, if you personally ask me, 03:02:06.500 --> 03:02:08.220 is some loser ass behavior. 03:02:08.220 --> 03:02:09.700 Like based off of what I'm seeing, 03:02:09.700 --> 03:02:10.940 I honestly think a lot of people, 03:02:10.940 --> 03:02:13.360 especially a lot of people within the Democratic Party, 03:02:13.360 --> 03:02:15.380 are underplaying the impact of Kaleas 03:02:15.380 --> 03:02:18.260 and underplaying how angry Black voters are 03:02:18.260 --> 03:02:20.980 with the Democratic establishment in regards to Kaleas. 03:02:20.980 --> 03:02:23.060 And I honestly do think that there is a path 03:02:23.060 --> 03:02:24.540 for progressives in the South, 03:02:24.540 --> 03:02:26.980 but that means that the DSA and the Insurgent Left 03:02:26.980 --> 03:02:31.860 overall would have to recruit candidates from in these communities and have to work alongside 03:02:31.860 --> 03:02:36.340 already established Black voter initiatives that have been trying to register Black voters. 03:02:36.340 --> 03:02:41.060 I can't speak to the heavy weights within the DSA and what they're doing, but what I can ask 03:02:41.060 --> 03:02:44.820 is that if you're somebody within my audience, if you're somebody that generally wants to build 03:02:44.820 --> 03:02:49.380 a multicultural coalition in practice and not only in theory, organizations like Black 03:02:49.380 --> 03:02:54.020 Voters Matter as well as a bunch of local Black grassroots organizations have been 03:02:54.020 --> 03:02:57.860 mobilizing the South as a way to push back against the gutting of the Voting Rights Act. 03:02:58.420 --> 03:03:01.940 But as Latasha Brown, as well as other Black organizers have mentioned, 03:03:01.940 --> 03:03:06.820 post-2024, the Democratic establishment has cut resources to these initiatives. 03:03:06.820 --> 03:03:09.940 Organizations like Black Voters Matter already have the infrastructure. 03:03:09.940 --> 03:03:14.020 They need the resources. And if we're able to provide them donations and the necessary 03:03:14.020 --> 03:03:18.260 resources, Latasha Brown, as she has been able to do multiple years in a row, 03:03:18.260 --> 03:03:22.660 will be able to mobilize voters within the South to push back against not only 03:03:22.660 --> 03:03:24.660 Donald Trump's fascism in hopes of 03:03:24.660 --> 03:03:26.660 What's the actual cashier? 03:03:26.660 --> 03:03:32.660 It's as simple as targeting black voters because surely the DSA has been doing that, like how does the organization penetrate these communities? 03:03:32.660 --> 03:03:34.660 It takes time. 03:03:34.660 --> 03:03:40.660 We need to, one, we need to be where black people are. 03:03:40.660 --> 03:03:48.660 These organizations are not as prominent in black communities, especially in the south. 03:03:48.660 --> 03:03:50.660 Okay, that's number one. 03:03:50.660 --> 03:03:53.720 That's number one, because when we're talking about like, 03:03:55.540 --> 03:03:58.260 like DSA by and large is seen as like a white institution, 03:03:58.260 --> 03:04:00.140 a white organization, it's not the case 03:04:00.140 --> 03:04:02.340 and it's elected are obviously very diverse. 03:04:02.340 --> 03:04:03.180 But at the end of the day, 03:04:03.180 --> 03:04:05.980 it's membership is like fairly white. 03:04:05.980 --> 03:04:10.980 And when we're talking about the black communities, 03:04:11.220 --> 03:04:13.940 we're talking about, you know, Wayne County, we're talking, 03:04:13.940 --> 03:04:16.300 which by the way, Donovan McKinney ironically enough, 03:04:16.300 --> 03:04:19.860 but we're talking about the South. 03:04:20.660 --> 03:04:28.100 And the reality is like there isn't a robust amount of community defense with the exception 03:04:28.100 --> 03:04:34.220 of tenants, organizers in the South right now that specifically come from the black 03:04:34.220 --> 03:04:40.100 community that target the black community that want to solve issues within the black 03:04:40.100 --> 03:04:41.740 community. 03:04:41.740 --> 03:04:42.740 And it's going to take time. 03:04:42.740 --> 03:04:43.740 That's all it is. 03:04:43.740 --> 03:04:48.740 And our black electeds will absolutely help with this. 03:04:48.740 --> 03:04:49.740 Okay. 03:04:49.740 --> 03:04:59.740 And eventually, and eventually we'll be able to build in these communities as well and bring back younger voters into the fold. 03:05:11.740 --> 03:05:15.740 Living policies that actually center working class people. 03:05:15.740 --> 03:05:21.940 I'm recording this video before the Florida primary and I'm really interested to see what 03:05:21.940 --> 03:05:23.340 happens with Elijah Matney. 03:05:23.340 --> 03:05:26.900 I'm trying to see exactly how his campaign works out. 03:05:26.900 --> 03:05:31.420 Elijah is somebody that is basically following in the same footsteps as Donna Bimikini as 03:05:31.420 --> 03:05:33.220 well as Chris Rabb and Summer Lee. 03:05:33.220 --> 03:05:37.140 I'm also interested in this candidate named Angie Nixon, a black woman that's running 03:05:37.140 --> 03:05:38.540 as a progressive in Florida as well. 03:05:38.540 --> 03:05:42.700 I want to go ahead and just bring forth a comment that somebody left that kind of 03:05:42.700 --> 03:05:47.900 ties into what I'm talking about in regards to the DSA and the insurgent left needing 03:05:47.900 --> 03:05:51.540 to actually work with organizers within the South. 03:05:51.540 --> 03:05:54.540 According to this commenter, the DSA doesn't have a Black Voter problem. 03:05:54.540 --> 03:05:56.860 They instead have a trust issue problem. 03:05:56.860 --> 03:06:00.920 Black voters are not tied at the hip to the Democratic Party just because they love 03:06:00.920 --> 03:06:02.420 fucking Chuck Schumer. 03:06:02.420 --> 03:06:08.060 Black voters are in connection with the Democratic establishment because the Democratic establishment 03:06:08.060 --> 03:06:09.660 has been a useful tool for them. 03:06:09.660 --> 03:06:13.420 One of the main reasons why Donovan McKinney was able to win his race is because he was already 03:06:13.420 --> 03:06:17.580 connected to the community that he was set to represent. He emphasized his connections with 03:06:17.580 --> 03:06:21.260 the Black community. He is of the Black community. I know it may sound like a shock to a lot of 03:06:21.260 --> 03:06:25.420 people, but by speaking to Black voters, DSA candidates will most likely strengthen their 03:06:25.420 --> 03:06:30.300 support with Black voters. It's like one plus one equals two. Two plus two equals not some 03:06:30.300 --> 03:06:33.900 fucking doors. Instead of being afraid of South Carolina and buying into this idea that 03:06:33.900 --> 03:06:38.620 progresses are inherently fucked because the 2028 primary is going to start off in South Carolina, 03:06:38.620 --> 03:06:43.100 leftists and DSA candidates started working alongside organizations like Black Voters Matter 03:06:43.100 --> 03:06:49.100 and sending DSA organizers down to the South on behalf of Freedom Summer to register Black Voters, 03:06:49.100 --> 03:06:54.460 if not for this election, for the next election. Because that allows for the DSA to work alongside 03:06:54.460 --> 03:06:58.540 one of the most important organizations that is currently on the run right now when it comes to 03:06:58.540 --> 03:07:02.300 civic engagement, working alongside Black Leftists who actually engage with the community, 03:07:02.300 --> 03:07:06.300 organizers to sit down and sit within the community so they themselves can actually 03:07:06.300 --> 03:07:10.540 build a sense of trust. Zora Mondani sending my check, yo. And in most circles, DSA and other 03:07:10.540 --> 03:07:14.300 organizations are most likely already doing stuff like this. But this needs to be nationalized, 03:07:14.300 --> 03:07:18.780 and this needs to be talked about more. Because as I would argue, the Black voter base might 03:07:18.780 --> 03:07:22.780 actually be the DSA's base. But because the Brown American Left has decided to buy into 03:07:22.780 --> 03:07:27.020 woke 1.0 right wing framing, a lot of them are leaving this base behind. I don't want to 03:07:27.020 --> 03:07:31.420 ever give credit to Candice Owens, but Candice's initial theory that Black voters are taking 03:07:31.420 --> 03:07:36.220 advantage of by the Democratic establishment is not inherently wrong. What is wrong is her 03:07:36.220 --> 03:07:40.380 solution to the problem. What's wrong about her analysis is the bootlicking and the white 03:07:40.380 --> 03:07:44.700 MAGA ass-kissing that she constantly has to do in order to have any type of proximity to power. 03:07:44.700 --> 03:07:48.860 So I would argue that instead of looking at MAGA because what the fuck, ew, 03:07:48.860 --> 03:07:52.780 that Black voters instead could use their power in their leverage intro-party-wise 03:07:52.780 --> 03:07:56.380 by leveraging both the DSA versus the Democratic establishment. So in the most 03:07:56.380 --> 03:08:00.060 real politic manner of this, the DSA benefits from Black voters, Black voters- 03:08:00.060 --> 03:08:05.340 We're already, this is something that we're already doing though, because for the longest 03:08:05.340 --> 03:08:14.060 time, seniority politics has, has designed this rot within the democratic party's institutions. 03:08:14.060 --> 03:08:21.860 And the congressional black caucus has played a formative role in this. Okay. And yes, when 03:08:21.860 --> 03:08:29.220 I say we, I mean like the essay candidates are literally allowing young black politicians, 03:08:29.220 --> 03:08:36.740 Black activists and organizers to actually go in and sidestep the seniority initiative. 03:08:38.900 --> 03:08:41.700 This is huge. That's why I said it's going to take some time. 03:08:45.540 --> 03:08:49.460 But yeah, Melot Kiros in Denver, Daria Lisa. 03:08:49.460 --> 03:09:01.500 in some respects, even Chris Rabb, Donovan McKinney as well. Like these are, well, Donovan 03:09:01.500 --> 03:09:04.780 McKinney is a little bit more traditional of a route. And I would say Chris Rabb is a more 03:09:04.780 --> 03:09:11.940 traditional route as well. But even then it's like they are not playing by the rules. 03:09:11.940 --> 03:09:21.500 the CBC demands that everyone play by the rules. Wait your turn, work through the process, 03:09:21.500 --> 03:09:29.100 work through the system, and then we'll give you a nod when your time comes. 03:09:29.100 --> 03:09:38.940 This is a huge opportunity of leverage and boosting for dynamic young black candidates 03:09:38.940 --> 03:09:41.380 and DSA is that platform for them. 03:09:42.700 --> 03:09:45.060 But it'll take some, you know, it'll take some time 03:09:45.060 --> 03:09:47.500 for people to come to terms with that reality, 03:09:47.500 --> 03:09:49.500 you know what I mean? 03:09:49.500 --> 03:09:50.340 If it from the DSA. 03:09:50.340 --> 03:09:51.900 So therefore, the DSA wants to build 03:09:51.900 --> 03:09:53.780 a broad-based multicultural coalition 03:09:53.780 --> 03:09:54.860 to take down fascism. 03:09:54.860 --> 03:09:56.860 If they want to actually live up to the ideas 03:09:56.860 --> 03:09:58.900 of pluralism, they need to knock on some doors 03:09:58.900 --> 03:10:00.020 in the South. 03:10:00.020 --> 03:10:01.660 One of my biggest fears is that 03:10:01.660 --> 03:10:04.260 because the left refuses to understand the importance 03:10:04.260 --> 03:10:07.020 of a broad-based multicultural coalition 03:10:07.020 --> 03:10:08.860 in practice and not just in theory, 03:10:08.860 --> 03:10:11.300 We are going to most likely run into a lot of the same issues 03:10:11.300 --> 03:10:14.460 that the broader left has ran into in the past. 03:10:14.460 --> 03:10:16.100 Like, while growing up as a kid, 03:10:16.100 --> 03:10:18.520 I rarely heard about FDR. 03:10:18.520 --> 03:10:19.900 And that was kind of confusing to me, 03:10:19.900 --> 03:10:21.100 because if you think of FDR, 03:10:21.100 --> 03:10:23.260 he is a huge progressive icon. 03:10:23.260 --> 03:10:26.780 Basically gave us all of these impeccable social initiatives. 03:10:26.780 --> 03:10:29.100 But as a kid, I hardly heard about him. 03:10:29.100 --> 03:10:31.460 And after reading Tonahase Coates' article, 03:10:31.460 --> 03:10:32.900 The Case for Reparations, 03:10:32.900 --> 03:10:35.140 it made sense to me why growing up, 03:10:35.140 --> 03:10:37.500 I rarely heard of this progressive icon. 03:10:37.500 --> 03:10:39.340 In his piece, The Case for Preparations, 03:10:39.340 --> 03:10:43.060 Ta-Nehisi Coates cites work from historian Ira Katz-Nelson 03:10:43.060 --> 03:10:46.700 for his 2005 book, When Affirmative Action Was White. 03:10:46.700 --> 03:10:48.620 The book specifically focused on key programs 03:10:48.620 --> 03:10:51.180 that were passed from the 1930s through the 1940s. 03:10:51.180 --> 03:10:52.780 So, FBR is a new deal. 03:10:52.780 --> 03:10:54.800 Arguees that these initiatives were intentionally designed 03:10:54.800 --> 03:10:57.780 to benefit white Americans while excluding black Americans. 03:10:57.780 --> 03:11:00.460 Ta-Nehisi Coates argues in The Case for Preparations, 03:11:00.460 --> 03:11:01.780 because these initiatives were built 03:11:01.780 --> 03:11:03.300 on top of the Jim Crow South, 03:11:03.300 --> 03:11:05.180 came at a time where black people were existing 03:11:05.180 --> 03:11:07.700 in a system of apartheid within the South, 03:11:07.700 --> 03:11:10.340 a lot of them did not have access to these initiatives. 03:11:10.340 --> 03:11:12.740 I make this case to say that class reductionism, 03:11:12.740 --> 03:11:14.740 specifically when it comes to the progressive left 03:11:14.740 --> 03:11:17.300 in America, has reared its ugly head before. 03:11:18.260 --> 03:11:20.340 This commenter points out, I'm for the DSA, 03:11:20.340 --> 03:11:22.380 but a lot of them seem to think we can build 03:11:22.380 --> 03:11:25.220 an economic platform without confronting racism. 03:11:25.220 --> 03:11:28.460 A large portion of this country would rather it burn 03:11:28.460 --> 03:11:30.380 than minorities get their tax dollars. 03:11:30.380 --> 03:11:31.820 If you know the history of FDR, 03:11:31.820 --> 03:11:35.740 You know how economics that don't address race turn out. 03:11:35.740 --> 03:11:37.380 Because I care about progressive policies 03:11:37.380 --> 03:11:39.660 and because I care about progressive populism, 03:11:39.660 --> 03:11:41.420 I want the DSA to win. 03:11:41.420 --> 03:11:43.540 But if the broader American left 03:11:43.540 --> 03:11:45.860 refuses to address the obvious elephant in the room 03:11:45.860 --> 03:11:49.300 because it's too hard or because Marx never wrote a book 03:11:49.300 --> 03:11:52.180 on racism, y'all are going to be fucked. 03:11:52.180 --> 03:11:54.260 Due to class reductionism, a lot of black voters 03:11:54.260 --> 03:11:56.020 are more inclined to align themselves 03:11:56.020 --> 03:11:57.140 with the democratic establishment 03:11:57.140 --> 03:11:59.780 because even though it may just be lip service, 03:11:59.780 --> 03:12:04.240 at least some liberals are not pushing this very childlike view of American politics that 03:12:04.240 --> 03:12:08.180 has nothing to do with race and only has to focus on our class differences. 03:12:08.180 --> 03:12:13.300 Because may I ask, after the class war, what happens if somebody calls me a n***? 03:12:13.300 --> 03:12:16.000 2024 taught me a lot of things. 03:12:16.000 --> 03:12:19.000 And one of the main things it taught me was to listen to the different subgroups 03:12:19.000 --> 03:12:23.000 within our coalition and to not downplay their rightful concerns about issues that 03:12:23.000 --> 03:12:25.240 they're having that are impacting them. 03:12:25.240 --> 03:12:28.460 And I'm afraid that some of the conversations that I'm seeing around this specific issue 03:12:28.460 --> 03:12:32.180 makes it seem as though that a lot of us did not learn the lessons of 2024 and that some 03:12:32.180 --> 03:12:36.220 individuals within the insurgent left are basically willing to repeat the same exact 03:12:36.220 --> 03:12:40.180 communication issues that we saw with Harris and the same standoffish approach that certain 03:12:40.180 --> 03:12:43.980 people within the Harris coalition had towards the issue of Gaza. 03:12:43.980 --> 03:12:46.180 Good luck America. 03:12:46.180 --> 03:12:48.180 Hassan Piker, you know this guy? 03:12:48.180 --> 03:12:51.420 I don't follow these nuts on social media very much. 03:12:51.420 --> 03:12:53.180 I just don't have time to do it. 03:12:53.180 --> 03:12:56.060 But this guy Piker, he caused some trouble. 03:12:56.060 --> 03:12:59.140 And if you haven't seen them, roll the tape. 03:12:59.140 --> 03:13:01.900 This is so insane. 03:13:01.900 --> 03:13:04.220 America deserved 9-11. 03:13:04.220 --> 03:13:06.100 Dude, I'm not listening to Bill O'Reilly. 03:13:09.620 --> 03:13:11.980 A majority of the Democrats' far left Senate nominees 03:13:11.980 --> 03:13:14.460 do not support a minority leader Chuck Schumer. 03:13:14.460 --> 03:13:16.700 Their speculation AOC could challenge Schumer 03:13:16.700 --> 03:13:18.300 in the 2028 primaries. 03:13:18.300 --> 03:13:20.660 But now, betters are predicting she may be the Democrats' 03:13:20.660 --> 03:13:21.700 presidential nominee. 03:13:21.700 --> 03:13:25.100 So the DSA may turn to radical New York City Council 03:13:25.100 --> 03:13:27.060 member, JLC, to Al Schumer. 03:13:27.060 --> 03:13:29.220 He's forcefully criticized the minority leader, 03:13:29.220 --> 03:13:30.980 has the support of Hassan Piker, 03:13:30.980 --> 03:13:33.460 and is no stranger to posting far left cring 03:13:33.460 --> 03:13:35.220 on social media. 03:13:35.220 --> 03:13:36.940 Did you know that some of Bed-Stuy in Crown Heights 03:13:36.940 --> 03:13:38.500 streets are named after slave owners? 03:13:38.500 --> 03:13:39.620 Well, I'm in a mission to change that. 03:13:39.620 --> 03:13:41.020 Do you love the snow? 03:13:41.020 --> 03:13:43.620 Do you have a zest for manual labor and being cold? 03:13:43.620 --> 03:13:44.620 Ah! 03:13:44.620 --> 03:13:46.060 I can't get the f*** out of your city! 03:13:46.060 --> 03:13:48.220 Wait, I'm not wealthy, nor are the wealthy 03:13:48.220 --> 03:13:50.740 leaving your city. 03:13:50.740 --> 03:13:52.700 All right, David, we're glad to have you on the show 03:13:52.700 --> 03:13:54.180 to get your economic perspective 03:13:54.180 --> 03:13:57.620 And your overall perspective on all of this and these DSA socialist candidates, you know, 03:13:57.620 --> 03:14:01.140 a lot of them seem to be birthed right here in New York City as we're seeing with mom 03:14:01.140 --> 03:14:04.180 Donnie and many others, but it's not isolated to New York City and it's not isolated to 03:14:04.180 --> 03:14:06.180 blue cities or blue states either. 03:14:06.180 --> 03:14:09.240 And as much as they want to come for conservatives and President Trump, it seems like the first 03:14:09.240 --> 03:14:12.980 person on their target list is Chuck Schumer and perhaps Huckin' Jeffries. 03:14:12.980 --> 03:14:17.420 Let's talk about Chuck Schumer first because his, I'm going to use some fancy words, 03:14:17.420 --> 03:14:24.860 his obsequiousness, his unconsciousness, his toe-curling, painful fawning of El Sayed the 03:14:24.860 --> 03:14:28.780 other day was just extraordinary. I wish we could have put that up, but he was just like, 03:14:28.780 --> 03:14:34.460 I mean, he knows El Sayed hates him. I know El Sayed says he's not the SA, but he essentially 03:14:34.460 --> 03:14:38.620 is. He follows all of their policies. He wants to rip up the Constitution, etc., 03:14:38.620 --> 03:14:43.260 just like the rest of them. But for him to say how wonderful El Sayed is, 03:14:43.260 --> 03:14:47.580 knowing that else I would would love it if he ends his his period in the Senate 03:14:47.580 --> 03:14:51.020 at least his period is as the leader in the Senate so he screwed either way if 03:14:51.020 --> 03:14:55.420 the DAS wins they're gonna kick him out as as the leader of form a majority of 03:14:55.420 --> 03:14:59.940 Democrats to kick him out as the leader and and if they if they lose in 03:14:59.940 --> 03:15:02.460 November he'll still be screwed because of the fact that he's he's 03:15:02.460 --> 03:15:06.380 essentially been so weak and appeasing of this group look at Jared 03:15:06.380 --> 03:15:09.660 Moskowitz by the way the guy who won against Larkin the socialist who 03:15:09.660 --> 03:15:14.180 was running in Florida. Now granted the district did not favor Larkin as some districts did 03:15:14.180 --> 03:15:19.100 and there was a DSA person who wanted a district that was more radical. Angie will talk about 03:15:19.100 --> 03:15:24.180 her later. But the point is that Moskowitz is a Democrat, moderate Democrat, Jewish 03:15:24.180 --> 03:15:28.500 moderate Democrat who stuck to his guns, has a bit of a backbone, wasn't afraid of 03:15:28.500 --> 03:15:33.820 the DSA, gave them hell, made it very clear that they in no way are fit for office 03:15:33.820 --> 03:15:37.820 with all of the things that they've been, and he won. He won by almost two to one. 03:15:37.820 --> 03:15:41.500 You guys did a brilliant job, by the way, last week in talking to Larkin, the guy that 03:15:41.500 --> 03:15:42.740 Moskowitz won against. 03:15:42.740 --> 03:15:46.540 You really spelled out very clearly exactly how radical he was. 03:15:46.540 --> 03:15:48.820 Something that Schumer had an opportunity to do. 03:15:48.820 --> 03:15:49.820 He didn't do it. 03:15:49.820 --> 03:15:50.820 Moskowitz did. 03:15:50.820 --> 03:15:51.820 Moskowitz won. 03:15:51.820 --> 03:15:53.140 And I think Schumer is going to lose. 03:15:53.140 --> 03:15:55.580 Well, that's the discussion that's going to be had on the Democrat Party. 03:15:55.580 --> 03:15:56.580 I'd love to be on the fly. 03:15:56.580 --> 03:15:57.580 I'd love for those discussions. 03:15:57.580 --> 03:16:00.700 The Democrats are probably missing the leadership of Nancy Pelosi, I would assume. 03:16:00.700 --> 03:16:03.460 She was able to keep the squad at bay to some extent. 03:16:03.460 --> 03:16:04.460 It was a different time. 03:16:04.460 --> 03:16:06.180 It was a different time, but she also ruled with an iron fist. 03:16:06.180 --> 03:16:08.660 and you don't have that so much in the Democrat side anymore. 03:16:08.660 --> 03:16:11.140 Joey, in talking about these socialist candidates, 03:16:11.140 --> 03:16:13.980 and Angie Nixon is one that you alluded to here, 03:16:13.980 --> 03:16:14.940 when you see them in interviews, 03:16:14.940 --> 03:16:16.580 not only are they trying to moderate themselves, 03:16:16.580 --> 03:16:17.740 which is probably wise, 03:16:17.740 --> 03:16:19.300 but if you dig just a little bit deeper, 03:16:19.300 --> 03:16:20.740 you pick a couple layers off that onion, 03:16:20.740 --> 03:16:23.060 when questioned about their deeply held convictions, 03:16:23.060 --> 03:16:25.620 it kind of falls apart under even light scrutiny. 03:16:25.620 --> 03:16:26.700 Yeah, the thing is the candidates 03:16:26.700 --> 03:16:27.660 try to moderate themselves, 03:16:27.660 --> 03:16:29.260 but the people that they say represent 03:16:29.260 --> 03:16:30.780 their policy position and platform, 03:16:30.780 --> 03:16:32.220 the leaders in the DSA movement 03:16:32.220 --> 03:16:33.300 don't moderate themselves at all. 03:16:33.300 --> 03:16:34.260 I mean, look at Hassan Packer, 03:16:34.260 --> 03:16:35.140 I mean, that's an easy one, 03:16:35.140 --> 03:16:36.220 But I can't remember her name. 03:16:36.220 --> 03:16:38.380 I think it was the vice chair of the party. 03:16:38.380 --> 03:16:39.540 They came on the network last week 03:16:39.540 --> 03:16:42.220 and made a fool of herself from a couple different shows. 03:16:42.220 --> 03:16:45.060 If you join the DSA, then when those people go and talk, 03:16:45.060 --> 03:16:46.620 they're representing your policy positions. 03:16:46.620 --> 03:16:48.340 Now, you can argue nuance, but things 03:16:48.340 --> 03:16:51.780 like abolishing the Senate, that's a policy position. 03:16:51.780 --> 03:16:52.940 There's no nuance to that. 03:16:52.940 --> 03:16:55.660 What I find interesting, if you look at the list of those 03:16:55.660 --> 03:16:57.340 that are running for Senate in competitive states 03:16:57.340 --> 03:16:59.380 that say they would get rid of Schumer versus the ones 03:16:59.380 --> 03:17:01.340 that Democrats say Schumer helped recruit, 03:17:01.340 --> 03:17:03.420 you've got Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota, 03:17:03.420 --> 03:17:06.700 El Said, Michigan, Troy Jackson in Maine. 03:17:06.700 --> 03:17:07.900 That's kind of an even split there 03:17:07.900 --> 03:17:10.740 with maybe the Maine being kind of the one way or the other. 03:17:10.740 --> 03:17:12.300 But I think Michigan, yeah, I mean, 03:17:12.300 --> 03:17:13.980 you're looking at probably one that leans Republican, 03:17:13.980 --> 03:17:16.580 one that leans blue, and one that may be more of a toss-up. 03:17:16.580 --> 03:17:18.500 But then you look at who Schumer has endorsed and brought in. 03:17:18.500 --> 03:17:20.460 You've got Roy Cooper, North Carolina, Sharer Brown, 03:17:20.460 --> 03:17:23.020 in Ohio, Josh Turrick, and all three of them 03:17:23.020 --> 03:17:24.420 have a really good chance to win, 03:17:24.420 --> 03:17:25.420 but it's a competitive state. 03:17:25.420 --> 03:17:26.100 It's toss-up. 03:17:26.100 --> 03:17:29.540 And then you've got the Peltola there in Alaska, 03:17:29.540 --> 03:17:31.180 and you would hope that Sullivan can hang onto it, 03:17:31.180 --> 03:17:31.900 but you don't know. 03:17:31.900 --> 03:17:34.860 So what I mean by that, is you might have an actual scorecard that says rather Schumer 03:17:34.860 --> 03:17:41.740 has earned the right to be the Senate majority or yeah, none of that looks good for Republicans, 03:17:41.740 --> 03:17:42.740 by the way. 03:17:42.740 --> 03:17:47.460 I love that they talk about like Schumer's potential Schumer's future in the party 03:17:47.460 --> 03:17:53.660 and shit, but we're talking about states that were never in play big dog. 03:17:53.660 --> 03:18:01.260 And I love how much like these guys are invested in the interparty affairs that they're 03:18:01.260 --> 03:18:03.520 are not even considering their party. 03:18:20.580 --> 03:18:27.120 Minority leader at the end of this based on how those candidates do the battle lines have essentially been drawn. 03:18:27.120 --> 03:18:30.720 Alicia, what part does social media play in this? 03:18:30.720 --> 03:18:34.960 Because if you look at these candidates that are running and winning, that are getting 03:18:34.960 --> 03:18:40.680 at least support from Democrats, they all have an impressive social media presence. 03:18:40.680 --> 03:18:46.680 And following, has it become a time in the Democrat Party where your follower count 03:18:46.680 --> 03:18:51.900 and your engagement algorithm actually matter more than your track record or even your 03:18:51.900 --> 03:18:52.900 fundraising? 03:18:52.900 --> 03:18:56.840 Well, the DSA is taking up all the oxygen in the room for Democrats, and they can't 03:18:56.840 --> 03:19:00.920 get a word and edge wise when it comes to any semblance of logic that they can cobble 03:19:00.920 --> 03:19:05.960 together because they're still trying to figure out in 2026 who they are after they got stomped 03:19:05.960 --> 03:19:11.640 on 2024. So yes, I think social media plays a very large part. I feel like the Democrats are, 03:19:11.640 --> 03:19:15.720 but they are, they're fighting amongst themselves. The DSA is not the Democratic Party. 03:19:15.720 --> 03:19:18.440 They're members of the Democratic Party who say that, but then there's some of them are 03:19:18.440 --> 03:19:22.680 scared to say that out loud. So it's this like big mess that they're still trying to figure 03:19:22.680 --> 03:19:25.200 out as they're going to start heading into 2028. 03:19:25.200 --> 03:19:26.960 I think it's a huge problem. 03:19:26.960 --> 03:19:29.520 But I'm also to pick up on something Joey said 03:19:29.520 --> 03:19:32.480 when we're talking about the DSA and statewide races, 03:19:32.480 --> 03:19:34.640 they are not a proven entity just yet. 03:19:34.640 --> 03:19:37.240 And what that means for the Senate will be more important 03:19:37.240 --> 03:19:40.320 because if Chuck Schumer is able to pull some people 03:19:40.320 --> 03:19:43.600 across the line and that number outscores the DSA 03:19:43.600 --> 03:19:46.240 in any significant way, that will matter. 03:19:46.240 --> 03:19:48.000 I think the one thing we know is that the Democrat 03:19:48.000 --> 03:19:49.960 party is going to continue to go to the left, 03:19:49.960 --> 03:19:52.360 whether the DSA takes it over in the next couple 03:19:52.360 --> 03:19:58.000 years or not, they're going to have to move further to the left to appease this grassroots 03:19:58.000 --> 03:20:01.360 DSA socialist communist hybrid that they've created. 03:20:01.360 --> 03:20:03.360 I don't think they knew who they want to be. 03:20:03.360 --> 03:20:07.920 They want to be who's popular and whatever that means, then they're willing to do it. 03:20:07.920 --> 03:20:13.960 And so, I mean, I would say that they know exactly who they just don't want to be honest 03:20:13.960 --> 03:20:22.360 about. Yeah, communism is popular. I guess. Isn't that what this implies, by the way? 03:20:23.800 --> 03:20:26.920 Also, it is very funny that these guys are now 03:20:30.840 --> 03:20:39.640 running around and complaining. These guys are now running around 03:20:39.640 --> 03:20:48.640 And complaining that the DNC doesn't have the same level of influence over the base of support. 03:20:48.640 --> 03:20:57.640 Like you're a Republican media operation. Why do you care about whether the DNC has lost its mojo or not? 03:20:57.640 --> 03:21:06.640 Like they're defending Chuck Schumer's honor. It's very funny. 03:21:06.640 --> 03:21:11.200 which is why I always say at least the DSA candidates tell you exactly what they 03:21:11.200 --> 03:21:14.560 want to do because I think if a lot of these Democrats were honest they want 03:21:14.560 --> 03:21:19.320 the mostly the exact same things down the list they're just not brave enough to 03:21:19.320 --> 03:21:23.160 say it out loud. By the way that list also includes we should forget getting 03:21:23.160 --> 03:21:27.080 rid of the military, getting rid of the defense of the United States, defund 03:21:27.080 --> 03:21:31.200 the Pentagon. You know come on folks it's not just it's not just defund the 03:21:31.200 --> 03:21:38.560 police defund america that's their platform defund america but fund fund those at the top 03:21:38.560 --> 03:21:43.600 right and not the top that we that they often say that they're against those at the top is 03:21:43.600 --> 03:21:49.600 in the reigning class that's how socialism and communism works all right be sure to like 03:21:49.600 --> 03:21:55.840 and subscribe for all the fox news latest on youtube i love that their argument always 03:21:55.840 --> 03:22:04.800 is like the argument always turns into you know what they want to do is basically and 03:22:04.800 --> 03:22:11.960 then they end up describing the current existing system it's always like that oh look at these 03:22:11.960 --> 03:22:18.000 fucking DSA goons they want to do communism which as everybody knows is when the super 03:22:18.000 --> 03:22:25.200 wealthy make more money and the poor get fucked over and it's like yeah that's the 03:22:25.200 --> 03:22:31.360 current situation, man. That's kind of the reason why these guys are growing in popularity, don't you think? 03:22:45.680 --> 03:22:52.480 Yeah, these guys are trying to do insert current problem. Oh, they would date 03:22:52.480 --> 03:22:57.840 these socialists, what they're trying to do is basically make sure that every home 03:22:57.840 --> 03:23:04.200 in the country is owned by venture capital. That's classic socialism. 03:23:10.240 --> 03:23:14.360 Welcome back joining me now is Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen of 03:23:14.360 --> 03:23:17.520 Maryland. Senator Van Hollen, welcome back to Meet the Press. 03:23:17.520 --> 03:23:20.640 Kristen, great to be with you. It's great to have you here in person. Thank 03:23:20.640 --> 03:23:26.640 you so much. Let's dive into the primaries. Angie Nixon, a member of the Democratic Socialists 03:23:26.640 --> 03:23:32.480 of America, scored an upset win in Florida, as you know. This week it comes after Progressive. 03:23:32.480 --> 03:23:37.840 Abdul Al-Said, who we were just talking about, narrowly won in Michigan. You, of course, 03:23:37.840 --> 03:23:42.560 used to run the Democratic Senate campaign arm. Do you believe Democrats are making 03:23:42.560 --> 03:23:49.400 an already tough Senate map more difficult by electing candidates who are part of 03:23:49.400 --> 03:23:50.400 the left wing? 03:23:50.400 --> 03:23:52.500 No, I don't. 03:23:52.500 --> 03:23:57.680 First of all, Democrats are absolutely united in recognizing that President Trump is a threat 03:23:57.680 --> 03:24:01.920 to our economy and a threat to our democracy. 03:24:01.920 --> 03:24:06.560 What you're seeing is a churning debate within the Democratic Party that's more focused 03:24:06.560 --> 03:24:10.920 on what the Democratic Party needs to stand for in 2028. 03:24:10.920 --> 03:24:13.120 And I don't think this is left versus right. 03:24:13.120 --> 03:24:18.120 I think this is the top 1% that is rigging the economy 03:24:18.160 --> 03:24:21.000 in their favor at the expense of everybody else. 03:24:21.000 --> 03:24:23.320 So these are economic populace. 03:24:23.320 --> 03:24:25.440 And the debate within the Democratic Party 03:24:25.440 --> 03:24:27.800 was going to be healthy going forward. 03:24:27.800 --> 03:24:31.280 In this midterm, it's a referendum on Donald Trump 03:24:31.280 --> 03:24:32.360 by listen to Senator Scott. 03:24:32.360 --> 03:24:34.280 He wanted to talk about Joe Biden. 03:24:34.280 --> 03:24:36.240 He did not want to talk about Trump. 03:24:36.240 --> 03:24:38.200 He talked about affordability. 03:24:38.200 --> 03:24:40.440 Let's remind people that Donald Trump said 03:24:40.440 --> 03:24:42.640 that the affordability crisis was, quote, 03:24:42.640 --> 03:24:46.760 a hoax and broke his promise to focus on bringing down 03:24:46.760 --> 03:24:48.160 crisis and keep us out of wars. 03:24:48.160 --> 03:24:49.400 He's done the opposite. 03:24:49.400 --> 03:24:51.920 Let's delve a little deeper into this debate 03:24:51.920 --> 03:24:54.000 that you referenced inside the Democratic Party. 03:24:54.000 --> 03:24:56.480 Florida Congressman Jared Moskowitz 03:24:56.480 --> 03:25:00.360 fended off a DSA-backed challenger in his district. 03:25:00.360 --> 03:25:02.560 And he's taking a very different view 03:25:02.560 --> 03:25:04.480 of Democratic socialists of America. 03:25:04.480 --> 03:25:07.720 Here's what he said about DSA members 03:25:07.720 --> 03:25:09.280 likely to join Congress. 03:25:09.280 --> 03:25:13.660 It's so funny to go to Chris Van Hollen, 03:25:13.660 --> 03:25:16.360 who is a very well-respected 03:25:20.220 --> 03:25:21.160 Senator, 03:25:23.260 --> 03:25:24.100 and then being like, 03:25:24.100 --> 03:25:27.040 hey, what do you think about this two-term incumbent 03:25:28.660 --> 03:25:31.140 in one of the more conservative districts 03:25:31.140 --> 03:25:33.220 in the fucking country 03:25:33.220 --> 03:25:35.340 that will never vote for a Democrat? 03:25:35.340 --> 03:25:40.180 like Chris Van Hollen has a lot more power 03:25:40.180 --> 03:25:42.620 within the fucking Democratic Party 03:25:42.620 --> 03:25:44.740 than Jared Moskowitz does. 03:25:44.740 --> 03:25:46.020 The fact that you're like, 03:25:46.020 --> 03:25:48.180 you might as well bring me up to Chris Van Hollen 03:25:48.180 --> 03:25:49.780 than fucking Jared Moskowitz 03:25:49.780 --> 03:25:53.260 because neither of us are relevant in the power center 03:25:53.260 --> 03:25:55.060 of the Democratic Party, okay? 03:25:55.060 --> 03:26:05.800 Next year, he writes, quote, they're anti-American at their core. 03:26:05.800 --> 03:26:09.940 People who have said anti-American things and have said things that are pro-Russia and 03:26:09.940 --> 03:26:14.100 pro-China, should they really get a security clearance? 03:26:14.100 --> 03:26:19.540 He asks, do you think the Democratic Socialists have a place in the Democratic Party, Senator? 03:26:19.540 --> 03:26:26.740 Yes, they do as part of the debate and in this upcoming election candidates can be very clear 03:26:26.740 --> 03:26:32.700 about where they strongly disagree with the DSA, which is probably on most issues. 03:26:32.700 --> 03:26:35.540 But they can also talk about their own plans. 03:26:35.540 --> 03:26:37.540 So you know, I'm not afraid to debate. 03:26:37.540 --> 03:26:43.420 I think that those in the Democratic Party who are afraid of a healthy debate are missing 03:26:43.420 --> 03:26:49.100 the point because voters, including Democratic voters, they don't want to simply return 03:26:49.100 --> 03:26:50.980 to the pre-Trump status quo. 03:26:50.980 --> 03:26:53.500 They want Democrats who are going to stand for something, 03:26:53.500 --> 03:26:56.580 and I can strongly disagree with one set of Democrats. 03:26:56.580 --> 03:26:58.140 But I think that debate is healthy. 03:26:58.140 --> 03:26:59.460 Well, OK, talking about the debate, 03:26:59.460 --> 03:27:01.420 let's talk about the DSA platform. 03:27:01.420 --> 03:27:04.340 It calls for, in part, replacing the president 03:27:04.340 --> 03:27:06.980 and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary 03:27:06.980 --> 03:27:10.380 chosen by and subordinate to Congress, 03:27:10.380 --> 03:27:13.300 and, quote, to abolish the Senate, 03:27:13.300 --> 03:27:16.020 the chamber, of course, in which you serve. 03:27:16.020 --> 03:27:18.020 Do those ideas go too far for you? 03:27:18.020 --> 03:27:20.500 Yes, of course they do, for me. 03:27:20.500 --> 03:27:23.020 And I think a lot of the folks who are running, 03:27:23.020 --> 03:27:25.940 regardless of where they are on the Democratic spectrum, 03:27:25.940 --> 03:27:28.500 have rejected those ideas. 03:27:28.500 --> 03:27:32.180 And so I think when you look at the Democratic Party right 03:27:32.180 --> 03:27:34.260 now, you're looking at a party that, again, 03:27:34.260 --> 03:27:37.700 is incredibly united when it comes to making sure 03:27:37.700 --> 03:27:40.700 we're out there standing up for working people. 03:27:40.700 --> 03:27:42.860 We need to end this war in Iran, 03:27:42.860 --> 03:27:44.940 which is driving up prices. 03:27:44.940 --> 03:27:48.420 And the reason that Senator Scott didn't want to talk 03:27:48.420 --> 03:27:51.220 about the selection and the issues 03:27:51.220 --> 03:27:53.620 and didn't want to talk about Trump's record 03:27:53.620 --> 03:27:56.220 is because you have a rubber stamp for a public. 03:27:58.220 --> 03:27:59.260 I just wish, 03:28:01.940 --> 03:28:04.140 I wish that we were a little bit more bold. 03:28:06.660 --> 03:28:07.980 Like, 03:28:07.980 --> 03:28:09.020 trying to move in the direction 03:28:09.020 --> 03:28:12.780 of parliamentary democracy is not that fucking scary. 03:28:12.780 --> 03:28:13.980 You know what I mean? 03:28:14.940 --> 03:28:20.460 Like even if you disagree with it, you know, even if you disagree with it and you're a senator, 03:28:20.460 --> 03:28:25.220 obviously you're gonna disagree with it, because you're a fucking senator. 03:28:25.220 --> 03:28:28.800 You can understand where these people are coming from and you can be like, look, I don't agree 03:28:28.800 --> 03:28:31.840 with these people. 03:28:31.840 --> 03:28:35.940 But plenty of other countries are run in this exact same way. 03:28:35.940 --> 03:28:41.760 Plenty of our allies operate with this form of governance and it works well for them. 03:28:41.760 --> 03:28:43.120 It could work for us. 03:28:43.120 --> 03:28:44.120 It could not work for us. 03:28:44.120 --> 03:28:46.280 But that's what the conversation is about. 03:28:46.280 --> 03:28:52.880 So I'm not going to sit here and immediately decry the DSA 03:28:52.880 --> 03:28:57.600 for being a scary, terrifying institution, 03:28:57.600 --> 03:29:01.880 or its ideas as outright dangerous, 03:29:01.880 --> 03:29:03.560 especially when some of those ideas 03:29:03.560 --> 03:29:08.200 that they are pushing for exist elsewhere. 03:29:08.200 --> 03:29:08.600 You know? 03:29:14.120 --> 03:29:20.800 Republican Senate and rubber stamp Republican candidates who simply want to do Donald Trump's 03:29:20.800 --> 03:29:21.800 bidding. 03:29:21.800 --> 03:29:25.280 And very quickly, would you accept an endorsement by the DSA? 03:29:25.280 --> 03:29:26.280 I would not. 03:29:26.280 --> 03:29:29.680 I'm not going to sort of look into all these endorsements. 03:29:29.680 --> 03:29:34.620 I'm not going to reject an endorsement by certain individuals at the DSA. 03:29:34.620 --> 03:29:37.640 But I'm certainly not seeking the endorsement from the DSA. 03:29:37.640 --> 03:29:43.920 And I think, but I do think, Kristen, that this whole debate is an effort by Republicans 03:29:43.920 --> 03:29:50.880 as you heard from Senator Scott to try to reduce, you know, the turnout for Democrats. 03:29:50.880 --> 03:29:55.520 I don't think it's going to work because at the end of the day, what unites Democrats 03:29:55.520 --> 03:29:56.520 is economic pop. 03:29:56.520 --> 03:30:01.520 I don't think they care about having a senator as much as they pretend to. 03:30:01.520 --> 03:30:07.800 Is there anyone in the history of the U.S. who went, I'm glad we don't have a parliamentary 03:30:07.800 --> 03:30:11.600 democracy, maybe aside from the Republicans, I don't think so. 03:30:11.600 --> 03:30:19.600 Yeah, I'm gonna be honest. I just don't care about it one way or another. Like I genuinely don't it's not my main concern at all. 03:30:20.600 --> 03:30:31.600 No disrespect to DSA. It's nowhere near in my top priorities. I'll never like argue against it. 03:30:32.600 --> 03:30:34.600 Because I think it's fine. 03:30:34.600 --> 03:30:44.100 It's just not, I don't know, there's like people getting ripped up, people getting ripped 03:30:44.100 --> 03:30:50.120 away from their fucking families, you know, tens of thousands of people dying because they 03:30:50.120 --> 03:30:51.120 don't have health care. 03:30:51.120 --> 03:30:56.160 And I know DSA cares about those things to be fair, like I know, I know those are 03:30:56.160 --> 03:30:59.640 the top level concerns with DSA as well as part of the reason why they constantly 03:30:59.640 --> 03:31:10.440 fucking lean into this stuff that's more future focused. 03:31:10.440 --> 03:31:24.360 And I don't think DSA should shy away from long term goals that they have, you know, because 03:31:24.360 --> 03:31:31.320 Democratic Socialists of America is not a Democratic Party PR operation. 03:31:33.320 --> 03:31:39.640 And if that was what they're doing, if, if DSA was like only focusing on election victories, 03:31:41.960 --> 03:31:48.360 then it would turn into that. It would be just that. So I think the current balance of the DSA 03:31:48.360 --> 03:31:54.360 having a DSA right that cares about elections, having DSA left that cares 03:31:54.360 --> 03:32:00.900 about advancing socialism beyond simply immediate election victories. That's a 03:32:00.900 --> 03:32:04.100 good balance to strike. 03:32:18.360 --> 03:32:38.280 But yeah, even as like demanding broader structural changes, I would say like make the Supreme 03:32:38.280 --> 03:32:47.480 court have a thousand justices? You know what I mean? Look, I got some radical ideas. 03:32:59.640 --> 03:33:02.040 Yeah, 99 Supreme Court justices. 03:33:02.040 --> 03:33:16.040 Um, classic one, the gauntlet, right? 03:33:16.040 --> 03:33:19.920 Yeah, I'll remember the gauntlet. 03:33:19.920 --> 03:33:28.120 That's a good one, right? 03:33:28.120 --> 03:33:42.240 If any candidate in any district is at a net negative approval rating, the people elect 03:33:42.240 --> 03:33:52.360 a champion to engage in the act of fisticuff against the elected representative. 03:33:52.360 --> 03:33:56.920 This is a process known as the gauntlet. 03:33:56.920 --> 03:33:58.340 I've been a major advocate for this. 03:33:58.340 --> 03:34:03.340 I feel like now that I have a lot more attention 03:34:04.300 --> 03:34:05.440 from the national media, 03:34:05.440 --> 03:34:09.880 I think it's time for me to put forth my DSA style 03:34:11.200 --> 03:34:13.480 program platform. 03:34:25.320 --> 03:34:26.160 Yeah. 03:34:26.920 --> 03:34:38.720 immediately, you know, John Fetterman would be a part of the gauntlet. 03:34:38.720 --> 03:34:44.500 And we hosted in front of the White House. No, I, my argument was we, we hosted on the 03:34:44.500 --> 03:34:52.000 Senate floor, um, or the, the floor of the house, the, the house of representatives, 03:34:52.000 --> 03:35:01.680 depending. Like I would put a, you know how they have the floor? I would create a process 03:35:01.680 --> 03:35:10.680 in which there's like a specific, I would create a specific ring. And yes, I would of 03:35:10.680 --> 03:35:14.600 course, build them on C-SPAN. That would also bring a lot more attention to politics and 03:35:14.600 --> 03:35:15.840 a lot more attention to C-SPAN. 03:35:15.840 --> 03:35:18.040 It was some standing up for working people. 03:35:18.040 --> 03:35:19.840 We're one of the big issues that has emerged. 03:35:19.840 --> 03:35:22.840 So we're talking about this with Senator Scott. 03:35:22.840 --> 03:35:23.840 It's not data. 03:35:23.840 --> 03:35:26.540 So how words don't want it to happen. 03:35:26.540 --> 03:35:27.540 It's fucked up. 03:35:27.540 --> 03:35:30.340 There's obviously a major issue in battleground. 03:35:30.840 --> 03:35:33.740 A majority of the Democrats far left Senate nominee. 03:35:33.840 --> 03:35:34.640 What the fuck? 03:35:39.440 --> 03:35:40.440 What the hell just happened? 03:35:40.440 --> 03:35:42.440 All right, let's talk about US Canada now. 03:35:42.440 --> 03:35:49.680 The neighbors are at a new modern high, as President Trump imposes 50% tariffs on a variety 03:35:49.680 --> 03:35:51.180 of Canadian imports. 03:35:51.180 --> 03:35:57.080 The talks collapsing late Friday, the Canadians walking out of negotiations with the U.S. 03:35:57.080 --> 03:36:03.800 We cannot accept what they've offered, and we will not give what they've asked. 03:36:03.800 --> 03:36:08.420 The Trump administration pointing to bans on the sale of U.S. alcohol in Canada along 03:36:08.420 --> 03:36:10.720 with protections for Canadian dairy farmers. 03:36:10.720 --> 03:36:14.440 We're moving forward with measures that respond to Canadian retaliation. 03:36:14.440 --> 03:36:18.400 North of the border, leaders are rallying around the Maple Leaf and blasting President 03:36:18.400 --> 03:36:19.400 Trump. 03:36:19.400 --> 03:36:20.400 He can't be trusted. 03:36:20.400 --> 03:36:21.400 Simple as that. 03:36:21.400 --> 03:36:22.400 He changes the deal. 03:36:22.400 --> 03:36:24.600 He keeps moving the goalpost. 03:36:24.600 --> 03:36:29.360 The new U.S. tariffs will touch on just 5 percent of the Canadian goods that come south, 03:36:29.360 --> 03:36:33.280 but the list of effective products ranges from Canadian beer and whiskey to hockey 03:36:33.280 --> 03:36:37.520 sticks, furniture, textiles and building supplies like cement. 03:36:37.520 --> 03:36:42.520 American importers will now have to pay a 50% levy to bring those items across the border. 03:36:42.520 --> 03:36:45.760 And their added costs are likely to be passed on to consumers. 03:36:45.760 --> 03:36:49.240 President Trump has said tariff is one of his favorite words. 03:36:49.240 --> 03:36:53.080 And earlier this month he said this about America's northern neighbors. 03:36:53.080 --> 03:36:54.080 Canada's nasty. 03:36:54.080 --> 03:36:55.080 They are. 03:36:55.080 --> 03:36:56.580 They're nasty. 03:36:56.580 --> 03:36:58.240 People think Canada's a dead nasty. 03:36:58.240 --> 03:37:00.880 People, I love the people, but they're nasty. 03:37:00.880 --> 03:37:01.880 Nasty leadership. 03:37:01.880 --> 03:37:04.600 Canada's prime minister now vowing to fight back. 03:37:04.600 --> 03:37:10.600 Canada will match Washington's new tariffs, dollar for dollar, in order to protect Canadian 03:37:10.600 --> 03:37:14.600 workers, farmers, families and businesses. 03:37:14.600 --> 03:37:18.600 Section 338 of the Smoot-Hawley Act passed at the height of the Great Depression allows 03:37:18.600 --> 03:37:23.520 the president to impose tariffs on imports from any country and he finds has discriminated 03:37:23.520 --> 03:37:24.920 against American commerce. 03:37:24.920 --> 03:37:28.400 Now that authority has been on the book since 1930 but it's never been used before 03:37:28.400 --> 03:37:29.400 like this. 03:37:29.400 --> 03:37:30.400 Gio? 03:37:30.400 --> 03:37:32.400 All right Stephen Portnoy, thank you so much. 03:37:32.400 --> 03:37:39.200 Donald Trump in the last half hour at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix in DC. 03:37:39.200 --> 03:37:45.080 He then went on to do a lap in the beast while the world deals with petrol prices up because 03:37:45.080 --> 03:37:46.880 of his war with Iran. 03:37:46.880 --> 03:37:53.080 The rest of America meanwhile has been digesting a crisis closer to home. 03:37:53.080 --> 03:37:56.640 Trade talks between the US and Canada collapsing overnight. 03:37:56.640 --> 03:38:01.080 Canada has declined to finalize a trade deal with the United States. 03:38:01.080 --> 03:38:05.960 The US and Canada once had one of the most durable trade alliances in the world. 03:38:05.960 --> 03:38:09.080 Now negotiations have reached an impasse. 03:38:09.080 --> 03:38:12.320 They asked too much and they offered too little. 03:38:12.320 --> 03:38:19.960 The United States has now imposed 50% tariffs on billions of dollars worth of Canadian goods. 03:38:19.960 --> 03:38:24.160 Canada says it will do the exact same in little over a fortnight. 03:38:24.160 --> 03:38:28.880 Both countries now facing the risk of a full-scale trade war. 03:38:28.880 --> 03:38:34.160 were when you get attacked. We got attacked. The US put 50%. We waited until the United States 03:38:34.160 --> 03:38:41.800 decided to actually implement the so-called 338 tariffs. That's fine. We've got the reserves, 03:38:41.800 --> 03:38:46.880 we've got the resilience, we've got the plan, we've got the focus. We'll respond. Canada 03:38:46.880 --> 03:38:52.040 will match Washington's new tariffs, dollar for dollar, in order to protect Canadian 03:38:52.040 --> 03:38:54.040 workers. 03:38:54.040 --> 03:38:59.680 As well as the big, like steel and electronics, it also impacts the small, right down to hockey 03:38:59.680 --> 03:39:03.120 sticks and, bizarrely, false beards. 03:39:03.120 --> 03:39:08.440 Both countries blame each other, citing last minute changes and rowing back on promises. 03:39:08.440 --> 03:39:13.360 Yet it's seen before the talks broke down on Friday that the US President was confident 03:39:13.360 --> 03:39:16.000 of getting something over the line. 03:39:16.000 --> 03:39:28.080 But there has been a pattern of Trump goading the Prime Minister of Canada with public taunts 03:39:28.080 --> 03:39:33.000 about its sovereignty. When they met at the White House in May last year, Carney was all 03:39:33.000 --> 03:39:34.000 about the boundaries. 03:39:34.000 --> 03:39:38.960 As you know from real estate, there are some places that are never for sale. 03:39:38.960 --> 03:39:44.160 It seems this weekend Trump has returned to form. This was posted to his Truth Social 03:39:44.160 --> 03:39:49.780 channel. Canada wants the benefits of being a state without being one. They've also charged 03:39:49.780 --> 03:39:56.240 our great farmers for many years massive amounts of tariffs. No more. 03:39:56.240 --> 03:40:01.220 Canada's politicians are insisting that the country has lots of other dance partners 03:40:01.220 --> 03:40:07.320 out there, responding with a unified front even across party divides and in areas where 03:40:07.320 --> 03:40:09.400 much of its manufacturing is based. 03:40:09.400 --> 03:40:24.400 We're going to be in native team Canada as Donald Trump is trying to inflict pain on every Canadian that we inflict pain right back until he realizes that we're his number one customer in the world. 03:40:24.400 --> 03:40:28.400 In April last year, Trump called it Liberation Day. 03:40:28.400 --> 03:40:38.400 Slapping tariffs on much of the world. Billions of dollars were later refunded after the Supreme Court ruled it was all unlawful. 03:40:38.400 --> 03:40:45.240 Canada insists this latest breakdown liberates no-one, but a trade deal was possible, but 03:40:45.240 --> 03:40:46.680 this wasn't it. 03:40:46.680 --> 03:40:52.120 The distance between the two countries may be small, but the Gulf has rarely been wider. 03:40:52.120 --> 03:40:55.560 Hello Prime Minister, Mackenzie Gray with Global News. 03:40:55.560 --> 03:40:59.200 I'm hoping you can tell us what the specific last-minute changes that the Americans proposed 03:40:59.200 --> 03:41:01.400 that made a deal in Tenemah. 03:41:01.400 --> 03:41:02.400 Thank you for the question. 03:41:02.400 --> 03:41:05.440 Look, I would say two things. 03:41:05.440 --> 03:41:09.480 One is there are some specifics and I'll give you some examples but it was also a cumulative 03:41:09.480 --> 03:41:18.400 aspect as I mentioned in my remark about the willingness in total to enter into a true 03:41:18.400 --> 03:41:20.680 economic partnership. 03:41:20.680 --> 03:41:24.800 But in terms of specifics I'll give you three and I know there's other questions. 03:41:24.800 --> 03:41:31.320 First with respect to the auto industry both in terms of the level of the tariffs 03:41:31.320 --> 03:41:35.040 The treatment of Canadian content, so Canadian parts, 03:41:35.040 --> 03:41:39.520 Canadian steel, Canadian content in vehicles. 03:41:39.520 --> 03:41:42.720 The scope of the tariffs, 03:41:42.720 --> 03:41:45.520 Americans wanted to limit it to autos only, 03:41:45.520 --> 03:41:47.080 not include medium and heavy, 03:41:47.080 --> 03:41:49.000 autos and light trucks to be more specific, 03:41:49.000 --> 03:41:50.940 not include medium and heavy duty trucks, 03:41:50.940 --> 03:41:53.560 which is a big change, obviously. 03:41:53.560 --> 03:41:56.680 And with respect to Ford's new plan, 03:41:56.680 --> 03:41:59.080 for example, in Oakville, which is F-350s, 03:41:59.080 --> 03:42:05.200 four fifties, five fifties, they would have been excluded. GM Silverado, same thing, would 03:42:05.200 --> 03:42:13.760 have been excluded from that. No rationale, just for exclusion. So effectively moving into 03:42:13.760 --> 03:42:21.800 a series of terms that would have made the production more uneconomic over time. Okay. 03:42:21.800 --> 03:42:29.040 So that's a change, that restriction, that clarification, that precision was a change. 03:42:29.040 --> 03:42:33.420 the US introduced at the last hours, in the last hours, 03:42:33.420 --> 03:42:37.120 efforts to restrict our ability to have other trade deals. 03:42:37.120 --> 03:42:39.040 You heard me say a moment ago, 03:42:39.040 --> 03:42:40.780 what we've accomplished in the last year, 03:42:40.780 --> 03:42:43.600 20 new deals, economic and security partnership. 03:42:43.600 --> 03:42:46.520 The prospect of doubling our market access 03:42:46.520 --> 03:42:49.440 because we believe in free trade 03:42:49.440 --> 03:42:51.120 were the partner of choice in many respects 03:42:51.120 --> 03:42:52.240 for countries around the world 03:42:52.240 --> 03:42:53.760 and the Americans wanted to restrict that. 03:42:53.760 --> 03:42:55.600 They had language that they wanted to restrict, 03:42:55.600 --> 03:42:57.320 unacceptable. 03:42:57.320 --> 03:42:58.880 And I'll give you a third. 03:42:58.880 --> 03:43:01.360 and perhaps we can discuss it more in French. 03:43:04.080 --> 03:43:07.320 Continual efforts, always resisted as I said in my remarks 03:43:07.320 --> 03:43:09.720 and always will be resisted. 03:43:09.720 --> 03:43:13.960 The efforts to restrict our protections 03:43:13.960 --> 03:43:16.560 of our language, our culture, 03:43:16.560 --> 03:43:18.400 and in effect our sovereignty. 03:43:18.400 --> 03:43:22.080 So elements coming in, ramping up, 03:43:22.080 --> 03:43:25.720 any of them individually but collectively 03:43:25.720 --> 03:43:33.160 put us in a position where what had been on a trajectory absent those elements for 03:43:33.160 --> 03:43:38.520 a fair deal, a good deal for Canadians, not perfect but a good deal, a deal we would 03:43:38.520 --> 03:43:39.520 not accept. 03:43:39.520 --> 03:43:40.520 A follow-up? 03:43:40.520 --> 03:43:41.520 Qu'est-ce en suivi? 03:43:41.520 --> 03:43:47.640 Was Howard Lutnick's involvement in the last days an impediment to getting a deal? 03:43:47.640 --> 03:43:51.960 This was at a private Republican donor's event, not just JD Vance but lots of senior 03:43:51.960 --> 03:43:53.440 Republicans were there. 03:43:53.440 --> 03:44:02.140 It must be said, G.D. Vance said that Mark Carney was a very sweet guy before he frankly went on to ridicule the Prime Minister and certainly these talks. 03:44:02.140 --> 03:44:05.440 Let's have a look at some of the quotes from this private function. 03:44:05.440 --> 03:44:11.740 Mr. Vance said that Carney comes in and puffs his chest out and says, I'm going to like out tough Donald Trump. 03:44:11.740 --> 03:44:19.040 It's hilarious because Carney presents this as some victory for Canada when fundamentally like they climbed on a lot of issues. 03:44:19.040 --> 03:44:29.040 And then he goes on to say, interestingly, but the quiet sort of behind the scenes stories is that this like random MP who's had a good relationship with us has been a pretty effective advocate. 03:44:29.040 --> 03:44:35.040 Now that MP is Jameel Trevani, of course, the conservative MP. We know he's a very good friend of JD Vance. 03:44:35.040 --> 03:44:40.040 We're told by Mr Vance himself that he has inserted himself into these negotiations. 03:44:40.040 --> 03:44:47.040 Now we have from Mr Trump on Wednesday, he suggested, of course, that he had a good relationship, a very nice relationship with the leadership right now 03:44:47.040 --> 03:44:51.800 also said that this was a good deal for everyone but then Mr. Vance also kind of 03:44:51.800 --> 03:44:56.800 doubled down on that if you like in this speech he said that Trump is not trying 03:44:56.800 --> 03:45:00.760 to bend over to make kind of a happy but saw that there was an opportunity here to 03:45:00.760 --> 03:45:04.120 get some wins for the country and the whole point of this is to change 03:45:04.120 --> 03:45:08.520 Canada's behavior which they you know not entirely but they've shifted in a 03:45:08.520 --> 03:45:13.480 Trumpian direction according to Mr. Vance. Now I think there's two things 03:45:13.480 --> 03:45:22.600 to play here. One of them is obviously this. Dude, this Canada shoot is so funny. I mean, 03:45:22.600 --> 03:45:27.320 it's already locked in. I think Mark Carney will never lose another election for the rest 03:45:27.320 --> 03:45:33.440 of his life. As long as he lives, as long as he continues to survive, he probably will 03:45:33.440 --> 03:45:41.320 be, he probably will be unfortunately Canada's greatest leader in the eyes of Canadians. 03:45:41.320 --> 03:45:48.480 He's going to have like 70% support no matter what because Donald Trump fucked it. 03:45:48.480 --> 03:45:58.620 Donald Trump fucked it in ways that look, obvious my guy, I love how we, Avi Lewis. 03:45:58.620 --> 03:46:09.040 It just sucks because what Donald Trump did in terms of demanding that Canada change 03:46:09.040 --> 03:46:14.000 its French language, Quebec culture, and Canadian identity as a condition for reversing tariffs. 03:46:18.320 --> 03:46:24.000 You literally could not have designed a better position for the Liberals. Okay. 03:46:27.520 --> 03:46:31.360 You could not have designed a better position for the Liberals. The whole port, 03:46:31.360 --> 03:46:34.480 the power center for the Liberals comes from the Quebec Guave. 03:46:34.480 --> 03:46:45.040 The Quebecois that vote for him, that vote for the liberal party because they see the liberals as 03:46:45.040 --> 03:46:56.600 being like defensive to Francophone, like the preservation of French culture and the language 03:46:56.600 --> 03:47:06.600 and things like that. 30% of the seats in parliament are GC. 03:47:06.600 --> 03:47:19.200 Don't you think there's also bolster block Quebec? 03:47:19.200 --> 03:47:29.120 I don't think so. The only reason why I say that is because, I mean, look, every time for 03:47:29.120 --> 03:47:36.800 the record, anytime Trump attacks Canada, Mark Carney wins. Okay. Anytime Trump attacks 03:47:36.800 --> 03:47:43.960 Canada, Mark Carney wins. That's literally why he won. And anytime Donald Trump comes out 03:47:43.960 --> 03:47:48.760 and says like, fuck Canada. And Mark Carney comes out and says, well, fuck you back. 03:47:48.760 --> 03:47:58.760 know, Canada is no longer just America's hat or whatever. It's popularity gets a boost. 03:47:58.760 --> 03:48:04.680 Portland shut agitators trying to harass you tonight may be streaming from crowd. Good 03:48:04.680 --> 03:48:10.280 to know. Thank you. I forgot that there's a lot of chuds in Portland. I mean, they'll 03:48:10.280 --> 03:48:36.960 They'll just get kicked out if they try to do some shit. 03:48:36.960 --> 03:48:37.960 It's not all bad. 03:48:37.960 --> 03:48:41.520 At current polling, the NDPs post to overtake the conservative party is the opposition party 03:48:41.520 --> 03:48:46.480 in the house, so they can actually push for better left legislation with the Libs hoping. 03:48:46.480 --> 03:48:52.880 Not sure if Carney will go with it, but still. 03:48:52.880 --> 03:49:02.720 Anyway, Donald Trump coming out and talking about like eradicating the extraordinary demands 03:49:02.720 --> 03:49:05.800 that they made. 03:49:05.800 --> 03:49:14.920 the key demands in the 2026 Canada-US trade negotiations. We're totally ridiculous. 03:49:16.520 --> 03:49:20.520 Vita over strategic infrastructure partnerships, preemptive trade restrictions on non-US 03:49:20.520 --> 03:49:23.800 nations mandates forcing Canada to match US sanctions expert controls. 03:49:25.960 --> 03:49:29.080 It just entirely removes Canadian sovereignty from the process. 03:49:29.080 --> 03:49:36.680 And by way of tariffs, Donald Trump thought he could do a de facto annexation of Canada, 03:49:36.680 --> 03:49:46.760 I guess. And yeah, obviously, Canada's gonna say no to that. It's ridiculous. Why would 03:49:46.760 --> 03:49:55.440 anybody say yes to that? So now it's not happening. 03:49:55.440 --> 03:50:01.740 He's been talking to a private Republican event, so he is essentially boasting about this deal in a political way. 03:50:01.740 --> 03:50:06.440 I mean, at the end of the day, the Americans are trying to convince the other Americans that this is a good deal. 03:50:06.440 --> 03:50:12.740 So it's quite difficult to work out how much this is domestic posturing versus what the reality might actually be. 03:50:12.740 --> 03:50:17.440 I'm going to go through why we're walking away from a bad deal and what comes next. 03:50:17.440 --> 03:50:26.080 Good morning, everyone, I'm Aljo Tumon. 03:50:26.080 --> 03:50:37.640 You're at war when you get attacked, we get attacked. 03:50:37.640 --> 03:50:40.200 We've been under no illusions. 03:50:40.200 --> 03:50:41.680 We recognized from- 03:50:41.680 --> 03:50:47.240 Yeah, it's not just French dictating Canadian trade policies, priority access to minerals, 03:50:47.240 --> 03:50:55.520 ability to snap back tariffs anytime. It was a, I guess it was like a soft vassalization 03:50:55.520 --> 03:51:03.040 without military annexation, right? Without like a military occupation, it was by way of 03:51:03.040 --> 03:51:10.000 Donald Trump coming in and saying, we're going to tear the fuck out of you. And then at 03:51:10.000 --> 03:51:21.880 the last minute turning it into a vassalization agreement. Like you give us your minerals, 03:51:21.880 --> 03:51:28.880 you have no say in the matter, you have no say in your own personal, you have no economic 03:51:28.880 --> 03:51:35.560 freedom, you have no economic sovereignty. We control every aspect of Canadian governance 03:51:35.560 --> 03:51:38.220 and there's not really anything you can do 03:51:38.220 --> 03:51:39.780 let the start 03:51:39.780 --> 03:51:41.780 that america has changed 03:51:41.780 --> 03:51:44.100 turning canada into i guess 03:51:44.100 --> 03:51:46.260 america's bella ruse 03:51:46.260 --> 03:51:48.540 i can i is that sometimes 03:51:48.540 --> 03:51:49.860 its signature 03:51:49.860 --> 03:51:51.900 was written in pencil 03:51:51.900 --> 03:51:55.500 the gap between partnership and competitor 03:51:55.500 --> 03:51:56.900 unfortunately has remained 03:51:56.900 --> 03:51:58.100 too wide 03:51:58.100 --> 03:52:05.100 in recent days 03:52:05.560 --> 03:52:10.920 The U.S. will now impose a 50% tariff on many Canadian goods and Canada will impose 03:52:10.920 --> 03:52:12.920 retrial to our tariffs. 03:52:12.920 --> 03:52:17.040 Let me be clear. 03:52:17.040 --> 03:52:19.280 We take this step reluctantly. 03:52:19.280 --> 03:52:25.680 Reluctantly, because we recognize that some of these measures will raise costs. 03:52:25.680 --> 03:52:34.400 And then, classic, just like with Iran, just like with everything else, a U.S. trade 03:52:34.400 --> 03:52:39.440 official claimed Canada made new demands late in the process before declining to agree to the deal. 03:52:40.000 --> 03:52:43.840 And it's ironic because of course the truth is the exact opposite. 03:52:45.280 --> 03:52:50.480 Would you be shocked to find out that this is projection? It was actually us. It was we were 03:52:50.480 --> 03:52:55.120 the ones who added ridiculous conditions in the last hour. 03:53:04.400 --> 03:53:08.480 last spring also i'm gonna talk about shan duffy in a second transportation 03:53:08.480 --> 03:53:12.960 secretary shan duffy also said something fucking insane about canada 03:53:12.960 --> 03:53:17.280 i warned that america is trying to break us 03:53:17.280 --> 03:53:21.760 so they can own us and i promise that that will never 03:53:21.760 --> 03:53:29.280 ever happen we are keeping that promise 03:53:29.280 --> 03:53:43.200 Hey, everyone, it's been a minute since I. So, uh, where was it? Where was it? Yeah. 03:53:43.200 --> 03:53:52.720 Transport Secretary Sean Duffy on Fox news, uh, on Canada trade talks that it's a country 03:53:52.720 --> 03:53:57.480 that doesn't have a military. I think you're going to see Mark Carney come to the table 03:53:57.480 --> 03:53:59.480 very, very quickly. 03:54:13.480 --> 03:54:16.480 Washington. Well, listen, they were just in Canada. 03:54:16.480 --> 03:54:21.480 And there's news this weekend of the trade issue that we have going on. Trade talks falling apart. 03:54:21.480 --> 03:54:26.480 Obviously, they're a major partner for us back and forth across the borders, plane strains and automobiles. 03:54:26.480 --> 03:54:32.640 DOT has a lot to do with that. Is there anything in your position as Secretary of Transportation 03:54:32.640 --> 03:54:37.560 that you're thinking about with respect to a tool in the in this sort of back and forth? 03:54:37.560 --> 03:54:41.320 We're great trading partners, right? But but but Canada gets the benefit of trading with 03:54:41.320 --> 03:54:45.400 the U.S. more, way more than the U.S. gets the benefit of trading with Canada. It's 03:54:45.400 --> 03:54:52.600 a country that doesn't have a military. It has a country that has a single. 03:54:52.600 --> 03:55:00.520 insane. It's one of those things where like, is he threatening Canada or is he stupid? And 03:55:00.520 --> 03:55:06.040 he legitimately doesn't know that Canada does have a military. Like is he saying they're 03:55:06.040 --> 03:55:13.200 pussies? And he's like threatening Canada? Or is he actually just dumb as fuck? And 03:55:13.200 --> 03:55:21.640 he legitimately doesn't know that Canada does have a military? Could be both. Could 03:55:21.640 --> 03:55:29.920 be both. Very funny situation that that we found ourselves in. I mean, it's a horrible 03:55:29.920 --> 03:55:41.920 situation overall. Oh my God. I mean, this this calcifies liberal rule forever. I think 03:55:41.920 --> 03:55:59.360 Every time Mark Carney's popularity is going down, Trump offers him a layup like this. 03:55:59.360 --> 03:56:01.440 Go pay your healthcare system that's failing. 03:56:01.440 --> 03:56:05.280 They have record high youth in Asia rates. 03:56:05.280 --> 03:56:07.280 And so to think that they're going to go to war with Donald Trump. 03:56:07.280 --> 03:56:11.120 Does he mean like they're doing youth in Asia or does he mean there's a lot of Asians 03:56:11.120 --> 03:56:21.560 in Canada. Again, many questions for Sean Duffy. Because he put a pause between youth 03:56:21.560 --> 03:56:28.800 in Asia. You never know. 03:56:28.800 --> 03:56:36.240 Trump can actually win that war with the US. I think it's foolish on their part. Washington. 03:56:36.240 --> 03:56:41.280 listen they were they were just in Canada and there's 03:56:55.760 --> 03:57:04.480 huh it's called Vancouver yeah I mean Sean Duffy is a MTV real world guy so 03:57:06.240 --> 03:57:12.360 Alex Kaush, news editor read the maple says, despite this Canada's increasing his military 03:57:12.360 --> 03:57:28.520 exports the USA is continuing to buy weapons from American arms companies. 03:57:28.520 --> 03:57:31.860 I meant, Duffy had to say Canada has no military. Yeah. 03:57:43.660 --> 03:57:47.300 Anyway, I have to, 03:57:47.960 --> 03:57:51.440 I have to leave for the show soon. 03:57:53.540 --> 03:57:55.520 So I'm in it at four hours today. 03:57:55.520 --> 03:58:07.440 I didn't even get to talk about Dana Fash going full-fash on Bill Maher. 03:58:07.440 --> 03:58:17.920 But unfortunately, that's all I got for today, folks. 03:58:17.920 --> 03:58:21.000 But tomorrow we're back to business as usual. 03:58:21.000 --> 03:58:31.560 we're back to regular ass broadcasts.
