You
The people over here have part-time for human rights,
but what happens if the international declared is ruined?
Being a part-time regime?
No, don't fucking stop me!
Hold on, cocking!
You better burn in a sink!
There's Shafi Seed!

Don't care!
Don't care!
Don't care!
Don't care!
This is what I say, and you will understand, perhaps,
what I'm trying to do, right?
I'm patronizing you.
Yeah, I am being patronizing.
I don't know who the fuck you are,
And you're over here chirping all the way from fucking London
How about you wanna fucking free pedestal?
But also simultaneous and you're talking about how both sides are fucking fine
Shut the fuck up, you don't know anything, okay?
Who the fuck is this pink-haired twink?
Chubby! Chubby! Chubby! Chubby!
Chubby! Chubby! Chubby! Chubby! Chubby!
Chubby! Chubby! Chubby!
So what would you like me to do after this?
I...
Do you not understand the English language?
What's going on, everybody?
I hope everyone's having a fantastic evening, afternoon, pre-noon, no matter where you are
in the world, I'm a Sompire in the stars and I'm breakfast coming to you live from sunny
California.
Los Angeles folks were live and alive and I hope all the boys, girls and MBS are having
a fantastic one because today's a beautiful day. Today's a wonderful day. Today is hump
day. That's right. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Wednesday. It's hump day. You already know
what it is. You already know what's going on. It's Wednesday, February 18th, 2026. We're
live. We're alive and I hope all the boys, girls and MBS are having a fantastic one.
on because today's a beautiful day. Today's a wonderful day. And we are here in sunny
California, Los Angeles on stolen Tongva land. That's right. We got the land acknowledgement
out of the way. You already know what it is. Also, um, I have heard that I've heard your
your concerns. I've heard your concerns, ladies and gentlemen. Okay. Boys, girls and MBS.
I've heard your concerns that I'm over using and over spamming the soundboard. So I'm
going to be more careful and I'm going to try to time it to the best of my ability.
Okay, Fahsanabi, yeah.
Wait, there's a Fah button?
Button Mesh, Fah button go, okay.
Some of you guys like it, some of you guys hate it.
There's a lot of like old people, I think,
in the community or people who take themselves
like way too seriously, even not just old people,
but just people who basically take themselves too seriously
and they're like, this is not supposed to be like
something where you can have fun.
Fun is bourgeois decadence.
Fun is counter-revolutionary activity.
How dare you have fun?
And then you call them out for it and they'll literally turn around.
They literally turn around and be like, no, it's not just, it's not, I'm not anti fun.
You just suck.
I just don't like it.
You're just not doing a good job.
Yeah, go buy a household man.
Be honest, someone I wrote told you about the soundboard which now made you concede.
First of all, I haven't conceded.
I am, uh, I like the soundboard.
This is not even like YouTube streaming.
This is like, this is, what is this?
Also hasn't ever talked to Brandon Lee about being a normal guy in a fantasy world.
Yeah.
probably one of the older shadows and they need to chill. Yeah. All right, ladies and
gentlemen, boys, girls and MBS, it turns out that it turns out that when we actually got
the the ISP stuff fixed, fixed. Okay. Because we noticed that there was a cutting happening
like with the service that they were providing us. I thought it was actually being, I personally
thought I was actually being, what is it called, like bottlenecked by the ISP. I thought I was
being throttled, right? And it turns out there were some unexpected infrastructure issues, right?
So they had come in, it wasn't rate limited at all. They came in and they were like, oh,
It's not you're not being rate limited at all. There's actually a there's actually an issue with the lines
So we should have to fix the lines and I was like, okay, great
This was a couple months ago if you recall
So they fixed the lines and guess what they didn't do when they fucking fixed the lines
Weatherproof the goddamn lines
They didn't actually weatherproof it after they fixed the line which is crazy it's like
You don't you don't think to weatherproof the lines like I get it. We're in Los Angeles. It doesn't normally rain
But like really you just didn't think to like I don't know put a put a cover over the fucking lines or something
It's crazy to me
Anyway, yeah, it was because of the rain
It was because of the rain and the infrastructure was busted because of the rain as always but hopefully
Insha'Allah by the way Ramadan Mubarak to everybody
Ramadan Mubarak everybody
And help them to see the evil doings of Israel and the United States
Anyway, but yeah, they they
Insha'Allah it'll it'll no longer be an issue. Hopefully
Get your neighbors to help you drop a fiber line on your street
Yeah, at least they they predicted the or at least they identified the problem and they seemingly fixed it
So we shall see, we shall see, we shall see.
Um, um, um, out on absolutely horrible bit on communism, being a capitalist,
I op.
Yeah.
He's a, he's an interesting guy.
So, um, do, do, do, do, so apparently your induction in the youth now.
What is this?
Pikerback as a service kids is sponsored by you, the people for you, the people.
So you didn't look outside your house after it ran and see the cable messed up, I guess your mansion is so big it would take forever to get around.
Brother, do you know exactly where on the fucking fault lines the issue lies?
Like, are you aware of every fucking, every aspect of your, your internet service provider? Like it doesn't make any sense to me.
Are you okay?
Anyway, is bait has got to be sarcasm. Are you okay? I don't know. Anyway, so that's probably
sarcasm. I, I hit a no jokes, no jokes. I apologize. I hit a no joke. I, it's my bad.
Um, just kidding. I'm Canadian. Get five gig up and down. Stop. Stop. I don't want to hear
that. I pointed my SB to the fault, even though it was three countries away. Okay. What was
I going to say? Oh, personal news wise, bro, Caleb fans hates your ass or is this brigade
comment section?
I created this. Someone had to do it law. Yeah, Caleb put him in his place. Caleb was
the most alpha person that room has some plays. Then I would lay off. This is why Caleb was
always in charge. Literally like, why are you talking about that so often? Literally? What
was he even talking about? I only watched it because Caleb was in it. They were so annoying.
And you can tell Caleb was ready to get out of there. Hassan just using buzzwords. Caleb
Dawg walking. Hassan is my new favorite thing. Love seeing Caleb humble. Hassan is beautiful.
How did people not see through Hassan? I think there's a lot of, there's probably some
autistic parasocial fans in here that like think that Caleb Herron hates me.
Um, I'm sure but then the rest is just like joking around
Watching Caleb check us out was so healing like these are many of these people are just you know, they're they're memeing they're memeing along. I
Hope you understand that
Like Caleb ate that made me like him so much more for real y'all have no idea how long I've been waiting for an episode with Caleb
Yeah, there's mostly is mostly people just like one of the things that I do is um, I
Know they aren't wait what?
All the comments I saw people saying it was the best episode. They never seen you laugh so hard Caleb was so funny, etc
etc, I know
He did this this narrative around
He's being a selfish top
Oh
Oh my god, I gotta talk about this
He created discourse?
No, he created discourse and I can't escape it and it's all over the internet
I'm a bottoms rights advocate and I talk about how Austin is is not a good top like he's a selfish top
I thought have you ever fucked a guy?
No
Then I would lay off.
It was such a bar.
It was so funny, but it's like hilarious because right after this moment, Caleb then turns
to Austin and asks Austin to defend himself and instantly goes, okay, hold on.
I'm actually on their side again.
Oh yeah.
I don't think people outside the stream understand how much you joke.
Yeah.
This is, there's also like a, there's also like a lot of a, a woke people on TikTok that are just a woke 1.0 style wokes and it is what it is. You know what I mean?
So you're going to fuck a guy so you can win the argument next time. Yes.
You guys, you also need to understand like there's always going to be
There's always a lot of his fans are falling barbs. Maybe I don't know, but my point is there's always gonna be people
There's always gonna be people in the multi fandom right multi fandom enjoyers
They just have differences in opinion or don't read it. Well, like don't read the don't read the jokes. Well, they don't understand it
And it may have been so conscious you tensed a little bit like we should let go because I'm straight
And then you hugged me tighter, which was very progressive and then I and then you out loud said what we're hard
Remember this you out. Let's say you're outside. Yeah
You were giving yourself
It's real. It's real. I did I thought this is a big deal because he's he hugs because
I remember like him talking about how he hugs and in my mind I thought I'm going to fucking
nailed this hug. And I thought I nailed the hug. I did not nail the hug at all. Trying
to beat the odds and allegations that immediately getting called up for acting strangers, social
situation. Caleb is just the right person to humble on. I thought I nailed that social
interaction an hour ago.
I also grade my hugs and greetings, but not sure if I've ever celebrated my success mid
reaction. So stupid. That was probably the best part of the
podcast. That was so fucking stupid. This is something that
only people that have like the appropriate kind of autism will
understand or ever experience. If you're like a normal person,
and you just have never had any kind of like any kind of
curiosity about how your social interactions are being seen by the outside world. You don't
think about these things at all. In my mind, in my mind, I was like, well, this is, I need
to lock in. Like I had anime music playing in the back of my head. I was like, I'm going
to lock in on this one. And then it turns out he read it totally differently.
He was proud of himself for having a kind of normal interview and interaction.
He fucking cooked my ass dude. Yeah, I overthink every single part of social interactions
Like if I should be close to a person I hugged them a little mouth. Oh
Man, I didn't even realize I did a audible call in the moment too. That's so embarrassing
Thank God
Well on the one hand obviously I'm autism axing but also on the other hand
And I am shameless enough where it's like, yeah, it is what it is.
You know what I mean?
I just, I can't believe I fucking hit it.
Yeah.
Oh, it's so bad.
It's so bad.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
You were so deep in the head, can he?
It was the part where you were out loud proud of yourself. Yeah. Yeah.
I got fucking cooked.
Sometimes listen, if other people are not going to be proud of me,
I got to be proud of me. You feel me?
Oh, fuck. It was my, it was one of my favorite episodes.
I know I say this all the time, but like we vibe to so well, we vibe so well, which is
why it's like, uh, it's odd that there are like, I guess multi-fandom and enjoyers are
not multi-fandom and enjoyers necessarily, but like a Caleb fans out there who are like,
yeah, he fucking destroyed his odd. It's like, okay, dude. Yeah. Watch, watch the entire
episode of the fear and podcast and the paywall part behind the paywall at patreon.com slash
for your end to find out more about how horrible he treated me. If you're a
hater and you're looking for that juicy Caleb Herron destroys us on secretly he
hates us on calls him out for his homophobia. If that type of shit is
your mentality, if that's what you think you're gonna get, yes there's so much
more of it. Please watch the episode and also
Um
Please please watch the episode but also on top of that
Please watch the the patreon as well. You also said of a pick of yourself when you answer a copy. Oh, yeah
Over the last year you have quickly become my favorite social media creator of that whenever I scroll over one of your videos
I know I'm gonna laugh
What is your comedic background?
Where did you where did you become so damn funny?
Hasan, right when we start talking about me, don't check your Apple Watch for me, okay?
Yeah.
Okay.
It felt bad when they started to buy one.
I thought it was gonna be fine.
No, I'm gonna get so cooked on this.
This is what people get mad at me over all the time.
I did it because I got a notification because I ordered coffee because I thought you were
getting me a cold brew.
Oh, is that what you meant by that?
Well, let's ask the audience.
Okay, let's ask the audience if you thought I should bring a cold brew.
Okay, wow.
Maybe we'll find out.
That's interesting.
I texted I texted it's at 9 a.m. On a Saturday by the way. Yeah, I said I
Texted us on I said you want a coffee. He said I'm supposed to ask you at you that he didn't
I said gotta wake up pretty early to best me brother
Then he sent me a selfie of himself at the gym
And said but ye I recommend cofax cold brew if you like that I said let's discuss their breakfast burritos
He said they're fire. I won't be partaking though
In what part of that message did you think I was supposed to bring you a cold brew?
I was just trying to subtly say I would like a cold brew.
That's crazy.
The thing about Hassan that you have to understand, you have to ask him multiple times.
Yeah, I was texting him.
In person.
It's like trying to become Jewish.
You have to go to the rabbi by multiple times.
But yeah, he did want that coffee.
I'm on a sunset on this one.
He said yes, but no burrito.
I saw was geeking. I've never seen him so enthralled by a guest who wasn't political law. I mean,
Kayla was pretty political. Um, as an autistic person, I'm on Hasan's side to me. The conversation
was clear. He made it known. He wanted a cold brew, but yeah, him saying yes. And he was
saying no to a burrito for himself as a fellow non-direct communicator when asking for things
I understand he was on. Yeah. Uh, Kayla was hilarious though. This is like the Adam Freeland
come town sandwich shit. Yeah. I'm just so glad that Missouri has more positive representatives.
Not married. Good. And not many good ones escape here. Yeah. He is, he is the best and brightest
a selfie. Are you like a rare vein? Authentic person? No, I was, I didn't send him the gym
selfie to be like, look how hot I am. I sent him the gym selfie because it was, I took
it for my trainer who was asking me like what I was doing that day. And I was like, I'm
at the gym right now, brother. Like it wasn't like a sexy selfie. I don't know why you guys are,
I don't know why you're reading. It's normal. You send friends like photos of what you're doing,
right? So then I already had it in the tank and I was already driving back home. So I just sent
him the photo I'd taken for my trainer that I was taught, my friend and trainer I was talking to.
That's weird, bro. Okay. Well, here's what we're not going to do. We're not going to
like go through and comb through every minutia of my social interactions with people. Okay.
It's, I think that's pretty normal. Like, you know, autism aside, I feel like that on
ironically is like a fairly normal interaction. But in any case, as far as my personal news
goes today, uh, didn't do much, uh, worked out. It was leg day this morning, uh, did
a whole, uh, weighted lunge component to the weight training, which is probably going
to cook me for the rest of the week. Um, can we revise a clavicular interview with Adam
so I can be suicidal again? Okay, dude, calm down.
That's it made me very sad that revelation that realization did make me very sad personally as well
What is this by the way is this what is this upcoming crossover Hassan bill detected character Hassan D. Piker supernova
Supernovas fallen monk pirates. I assume this is a is this a spoiler?
Um, I don't know what that is
The interview was so boring. I think it was interesting. It was a very interesting interview,
but only interesting because Adam made it interesting and because Clevicular on his own
is like a very not interesting character. But what Clevicular does, what Clevicular says is
not very interesting. What Clevicular does is interesting. How he lives is interesting. And
I think Adam did a pretty good job of like unlocking some of those aspects. Anonymous Gifter!
Thank you for the 100 gifted subs. Holy moly. We're going to be talking about New York Times
asks Democrats as no New York time dem voter review demands more from the party Iran US
Talks mom Donnie momentum Bernie interview later a text billionaires event book 2.0 beast mode
Get in now
I'm once again asking for holy Toledo on the soundboard
Holy Toledo
There you go, you got it you asked for it and you got it also
Yeah, we got both do not come
I
Wish Adam press him on the Hitler shit
He's that's just not what type of show that is
Actually, it would have been it would have been funny. I wish he did that too. I just don't think that that's the type of show he
conducts
Bro this dude didn't even know who Zoran was
He was like, I don't know any of that shit.
Wait, what the fuck?
Oops.
Bad link, bad link, bad link.
Sorry.
How many Alice Jones clips you got on that soundboard?
I mean, I got the classic one.
Liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal, happy fun, la, la, la, human smuggling, fit and old desk, forced government euthanasia, la,
Chapping her children's shittables la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Soundboard is such a unc 2000 radio shit. Yeah, but zoomers like it too. Will Crenchin and Haas discusses soundboard check out this clip
He played the bro he played the fucking
sound effect probably 300 times today at least it was frying me bro that shit
was for frying me I was playing new genics watching him on my left screen and
every two seconds
Yeah, I mean, it's it's good. You need a soundbite of Alex Jones saying Jew Jew Jew over and over again
No, I that was a little too tricky Pazicci for the for the soundboard if I if I play that one
I have to also show it
Because I feel like I will get banned and not only will I get banned but also that one will get me in trouble
Like if I play it, I have to show that it's Alex Jones
And I have to use that. I have to use that carefully very carefully open presents. Thank you for the 25 gift this subs
God damn
Yeah, I'm slotted up for you guys, that's right
Tricky Pizzicky, I'm dead. I don't even know what that word means. They just like slipped out of my mouth
Sometimes I just say shit. I need you guys to understand like sometimes certain aspects of like American
culture. I just like don't know where I even figured out where I even heard it. And I'm
just like repeating it like a child. And, and it's just like a, it's just a sound that's
coming out of my mouth. I just, I truly have no clue what it is. So that's what it, you
know, the funniest thing about that clip is he wasn't even being anti-Semitic. Actually,
Yeah, the Alex Jones, a Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew clip is actually him making fun of Nazis who
constantly associate, like that's him making fun of Nazis who constantly associate everything
with Judaism.
That's literally him criticizing the, the neo-Nazis who don't do like anti-Semitism correctly,
which is ironic because that's a, that's a problem that Nick Fuentes is also encountered
with Candace Owens.
that's a real meta amongst like people who are perhaps most responsible for anti-Semitic
conspiracies, um, popping off on the timeline, turning around and being like, you guys aren't
doing Jew hatred correctly. Like it reminds me of, uh, it reminds me of, of, of Alex Jones having
that conversation with Kanye West where he's like, yeah, right. Kanye, you know, we're, we're, we
don't mean like, we're like, you know, Hitler, right? Let me come on. You just mean like, uh, you
You know the globalist right and Kai is like no, I love Adolf Hitler like he is my guy. That's my that's my guy
I love him so much. He invented the microphone and Alex Jones is just like you're you're fucking up the back on you
There's a proper way to do true nature and you're not doing it properly
That's what it is
Yeah, Alex Jones was doing anti-semitism right away. Oh megafaunix got banned classic
Make a function to influence the youth and then getting clapped
Hilarious, um
But yeah, I I like you know why I like the soundboard honestly like and I and I understand that like right now
My trigger on the soundboard is not very good. Like it's gonna get better as time passes
It's just like a training thing
But the reason why I like the soundboard
Is because it makes it uh, it I'm just having more fun when I use it
I'm having more fun when I use it and I also think it like makes the stream more like more light-hearted and I think that's important
It's a good thing. It's it's a good thing. It keeps things lighter
So
What is this
I've been saying this how there is on those in the very real black people who have the border as a top-issue grr
To every black leftist defending us on piker defend this. What is the YouTube shorts?
What is it not black people care about the border man shut the fuck up? Oh
This is one of the the psychos right like this is literally isn't this one of like the the weirdos who was constantly like clipping shit
it. Black people care of the border. I'm gonna fuck what black people care about. The Democratic
party literally is going to fucking lose, even if they don't lose, move the country
to a significantly more right-wing position. Oh, black people care about this, black people
care about that. Like shut the fuck up. That's not how politics works. Dude, isn't it fucking
awesome that these guys will like try to clip me out of context? And for most people, it's
It's like, for most people, it's like, it quite literally, it's like, if they watch
the video, they're like, oh, they're a hutch chatter.
Oh, that's awesome.
The hypothetical was taking Epstein's ideology versus Hassan to his maximum position as president.
Yeah, Jeffrey Epstein would probably be a better president than Hassan.
Yeah, also, I don't know if you noticed this, but this is an older clip from before the
election and I'm right. So them resurfacing this is hilarious. They're resurfacing this
clip from 2024, where I'm saying Democrats moving to the right on immigration is either
going to cost them the election, which it did. And if it doesn't cost them the election,
it will actually, if they win the election, it will actually make the country more racist
and more right wing. And that's not a good thing either. And it's literally correct.
I cook. People trying to do standpoint theory to be like, no, as a black person, I'm advocating for a
more white, nativist, anti migrant policy is not something that I'm ever going to give ground to,
to give room to fucking talk about. That's not how we roll around these parts, okay?
Like it's awesome. And I love that they're, they posted this to be like, we cook.
not even a week in and you've already redeemed. Yeah, I know. Read this sentence slowly. Governor
Gavin Newsom crypto is a business leaders are ramping up ever since week to stop the proposed
wealth tax. And not only did I absolutely cook on the Gavin Newsom, I'm not voting for
him take. And I'm certainly not pledging fealty to him take. I'm also being vindicated
so fast about me saying Democrats want to cut out trans people from the equation for
some weird like faulty notion that this will help them in the elections.
Tim Miller was scolding you. Wait, I thought I responded to him. I guess not. But I should
have a talk with Tim Miller. I mean, he's more right wing than I am on a lot of this
stuff. So, that's not what he said. He's talking about centers who use the polls,
argue, leaving trans people to the wolves in the name of political strategy. Yeah.
I think Clavicular used a soundboard on Piers Moran. Okay.
Today was my grandfather's funeral. Can I get a fought in his honor?
All right, Peter, your granddad chatter.
RIP. Tim Miller sucks, failed to hold it off. Yeah. So it is funny that this person is like
bringing this clip back. I have noticed that this is like the old meta. The old meta that
Republicans used to utilize all the time, because they're not very intelligent, where they just like
take a clip. And it's very clear that the clip says something entirely different than what
the description says and most people like it's not even out of context usually it's just like
what you see is what you get like it's straight up like a like a well thought out position
that they didn't even clip out of context but they'll just be like see this guy is racist he said he
doesn't give a shit what black people think about like it's obvious to me that this is a bad thing
he's obviously racist but then you watch the clip and in the clip i'm like very clearly saying like
it doesn't matter. Your background doesn't matter if you're saying that tweet has one
K likes him a hutch like her. You don't even have to do all this. I know, but it is interesting
that these guys's gotchas have gotten dumber as well. Liberals gotchas have gotten dumber
because at least this was like the Republican side, right? I've noticed some good clippers
popping up. Yeah, I know there's like a bunch of a clip accounts that are popping up that
are not like a brain broken with the Sondarrangement syndrome.
It's just like if you come in here and you go, listen, as a, you know, as a black non-binary
person, I think a billionaire tax is going to be devastating. I'm going to tell you to shut the
fuck up. You know what I mean? I don't give a shit what you are. Like I don't care about what your
background is. You have a right-wing position on this that is not good for the elections and
and it's not good for the future of this country, I'm gonna fucking tell you, shut the fuck up, right?
I think it's people being intentionally obtuse. When you say it doesn't matter,
people think you're saying you don't care. When in reality, you do care. That's why you say these
things. They're interpreting your words wrong. No, I'm saying your background is irrelevant in
this conversation. You can be like, well, I'm a black person and I love Adolf Hitler. I'm not
going to be like, oh, well, you're a black person. So I guess I have to listen to you. You know what
I mean like it doesn't matter what your background is like it or not black people care about the border man shut the fuck up
Black people care about the border. I'm a fuck what black people care about the Democratic Party
Literally is going to fucking lose even if they don't lose
Move the country to a
Significantly more right-wing position. Oh black people care about this black people care about that like shut the fuck up
That's not how politics works. I hate that. I hate this like shield
Okay, I hate this fucking idiotic shield. Okay. Oh, well, but son, how dare you like it or not black people care about this issue
It's like it's such a fucking stupid stance. Okay
It's such an idiotic stance. Nobody operates like this. Okay black people don't operate like this either
Shut the fuck up
Stop using this as a fucking shield liberals are fucking raises. Okay. It was just
meaming around I guess the rules are fucking races oh I thought this guy was
joking you seriously think there are no races liberals like it or not black
people care about the border man shut the fuck up black people today was the
875th day of my dry spell can I get a do not come and it's honor oh my god you
you guys, you get this in your on in that honor. Yeah. Do not come. I'm going to come.
Do not come. Do you think for a blackest your mother, we get this on a reactive on lose
the King time travel movie that is shown in elementary schools showcase how important
of a figure he was. I think that would be amazing. Okay. I don't even know what that
is, but I've heard about this and I definitely want to. I definitely want to watch that.
to be so sick.
Hossop is a straight white male, LeBron is no longer Legote and is being usurped once
again by Karim and Bill Jabbar.
If you get mad at my take, you are literally racist.
Happy almost five years, Hossop.
Okay, good to know.
My friend Martin.
I have not seen it.
Our friend Martin.
Did you talk about Tim Miller's suite?
No, not yet.
I'm going to talk about it right now.
So vindication was twofold this week. Like I said, one was just like posting my old takes.
Someone showed us the dawn heat in jail. And he I don't like to give him any views on YouTube
is his YouTube or yours is the link is someone else's for full context.
Some part of his disgusting border when a white liberal made a comment, black people care
about this issue. We don't need white people to speak for us. And it's on literally told
Shut up on our behalf. Thanks a song. Hey, let's go
But yeah, they've fallen that the the liberals have fallen explain why
Politics is bad
Then any politics in that is advised against the left position is silly and stupid. Okay
It's silly. It's disingenuous. It's idiotic. Wait, what am I?
Many F
No
It's not even raining. It's sunny. Hey, yo, chill is sunny. That's crazy. We got to chill out on that.
We got to chill out with that. He about to act up. Yeah, my ISP is going crazy.
My ISP doesn't even want to defend. My ISP doesn't want me to defend myself.
Grand Platinum on China. Oh, no. What do you say? Oh, I think
live ice fishing with Grand Platinum. Well, this dude will do anything but do a broadcast with
Hassan Hassanabbi Piker. I'm gonna be honest. He does. He will do anything, but do a stream with me.
But the other thing that I was talking about, of course, was this. Another far right neo-Nazi
does the family annihilator move, is there known to do? And instantly the very same people they
retweeted are talking about trans identity. Also to every shameless censors floating trans
disapproval polls, you discuss me. Maya, C-O, two, three, thank you for the 25, get the subs.
You discuss me as much as the right-wing freaks do. Now, the reason why I said that is because of
the Lakshya Jain, I think his name is, he immediately came out of the gate swinging
and started posting trans disapproval polls talking about like, well, we gotta drop,
basically implying that we have to drop people. Democrats have to drop trans people from the
conversation. They have to drop trans people from the equation. And it's ironic because
Because my argument has always been that when Democrats refuse to advocate for certain marginalized
groups, that's when they literally end up losing the seed territory to the right wing
on these culture war narratives.
It doesn't have to be like constantly in your face, right?
It doesn't have to constantly be in your face.
It shouldn't be like the only thing that the Democrats are known for, especially because
we're just going to make a sober and honest assessment about elections in this country.
And I think trans people will also agree with me on this. Trans people are a small group of people.
Right? So like, obviously, it can't be the number one priority. It shouldn't be the
number one priority. It shouldn't be like the thing that you come out swinging for, right?
But it's also not a thing that you should be seating territory on, right? Like it's just
ridiculous. And my argument always around this issue has been that if you actually gave
Republicans something to fight against, like a real coherent policy agenda that they must
negatively polarize against or they must negatively position against, they're not going to spend
a good deal of time on that.
I think they're going to do it regardless like they're gonna wait is effing again oh my lord
what the hell yante is happening the f's are not as bad though i think you guys are freaking out
for no reason it's not as bad but it's still happening um that's crazy though
It's only a few seconds. Yeah, it's like a minor mini, mini stutter, right?
Honestly, trans people are just people that need groceries, we need housing, we need employment.
It's all insane hyper fixation on them is so, so less and worthless. Exactly, exactly. So
here's the thing, here's the thing.
My argument always is, if you give the republic is something to fight against,
Like policies that you advocate for, policies that you push for, they have to position themselves against those said policies.
And if they're doing that, if you have a bold agenda, if you have a bold vision, and the Republicans are attacking that, they're going to, they're, you know, they'll still do transphobia in the process.
They're never going to let that go. They've spent hundreds of millions of dollars specifically designing a,
specifically designing a media infrastructure that is always hitting the trans panic button
over and over again, right?
It's just, this is, I feel like this is just an abdication of responsibility from the Democrats
in terms of like not protecting marginalized identities.
It's not about culture wars about class war, but the Democrats unfortunately are siding with the billionaire class, the owner class, in the United States of America.
And therefore they can't position themselves as being a part of the working class, defending the interests of the working class.
And when they don't do that, it's like two parties that are both on the side of the owner class, two parties that are obviously still very much maintaining the interests of the super wealthy in this country.
country, whether it be private health care providers or whether it be, you know, big
industry, agribusiness, all different sorts of industries, you're never going to, you're
always going to have a fight around culture war issues and the Democrats are always going
to lose on those culture war issues, especially because the Republicans have a faucet of misinformation
that they can deploy and they do not shy away from deploying with regular frequency.
Narratives is one of the components of, uh, Transpanic Narratives is one component of
the, the multi-faceted Republican approach.
So if you want to protect marginalized identities, marginalized communities, one way you can do
that, because the best defense is a good offense, is to go on the offensive, to go on and, and
declare a bold and radical agenda, where the conversation is directed towards what the
Democrats could do for the working class. Right? That's it.
Having said that, this was very frustrating for a lot of people. I said this and then people
were yelling at me and said, if BIMS gave Republicans actual policies to oppose like
Medicare for all GOP wouldn't be able to constantly hit the trans panic narrative successfully.
BIMS would never have to concede on trans existence at all. This requires constant
counter messaging and leading with policies that hurt the bottom line of their corporate
benefactors so they won't do it.
And this, why ain't you at the Bernie rally today?
I am.
That's it's later in the day.
What are you talking about?
I am.
I am going to be at the Bernie rally.
I'm going to be talking to Bernie Sanders as well.
So it's good for the, it's good policy, it's good politics, it's good for winning elections,
it's good, good, good, good, good across the board to tell people, to tell the working
class in the United States of America what you have as a broad, comprehensive legislative
agenda.
Okay, it's good in aspect. Yes, little f. I know where it's going to be a little patchy. I know
It's it's we're gonna get through it. Okay, we're gonna get through it and we're gonna be fine
It's not a major F is the way maybe it is a major F. It doesn't seem to be like a major F on my end
Wait, oh shit. Uh-oh. What the hell? It's even worse now. No, it's pretty bad.
It's different from last. The reason why it's different from last time, I suspect, is because there's a spider? There's a spider?
Oh, oh fuck.
Oh my god.
There is a spider.
What the fuck?
Ah, what is that?
What kind of is that?
You I thought you don't were fucking with me
I thought it was like a stream elements thing that Austin or Hoss was doing
Yo, this motherfucker was right on my head
Oh my god
What the fuck Maya, okay, dude that shit was on my head. I'm sorry
This was the most ethical way to deal with the spider. It's a barn spider
Don't kill it I mean
Don't kill me bro, please Hassan didn't want to become spider-man
Oh, fuck.
Maya is gonna kill you.
It looks like an orb weaver.
They are harmless.
Well, he wanted to be a part of the stream, it seems,
which is crazy.
Holy fuck.
I
Know daddy's no, I don't think it was a daddy long legs. Oh
God my internet is fucking busted
No.
Oh, that was crazy. I almost died. I refuse to believe this isn't a bandwidth issue, but
that's just me speculating. Now I'm beginning to think it might be a bandwidth issue because
I truly thought that we were going to be fine today because they fixed the infrastructure
thing. And it turns out that, you know, it's not fucking fine. So I think they are, they
might genuinely be throttling my bitch ass, I think.
Clip of the F to tell the working class in the United States of America what you have
as a broad comprehensive legislative. The shocking dogs, the clipping spiders pipeline
is real. Yeah. That was the internet technician. How could you, he was here to fix the web.
Yeah, well, he's dead now.
Tucker Carlson arrested in Israel. No. Actually, no shot. That's probably a jitter had the
same issue it's noise on the line. You broke every bone that spider had despite as a bone.
Anyway, where was I? Where was I? He was detained for a bit, but it's out of the country. They
have an exoskeleton. Gross. Okay. All right. All right. All right. Listen, listen, listen,
listen, listen, listen, listen. Um, I, I, let me, let me finish what I was going to say.
Let me finish what I was going to say, which is, so Carlson detainees real journals, jagged
in the interrogation room. What the fuck? Hey, yo, that's crazy.
Oh, internet, internet going out again. Leave all Arab countries in the Persian
Gulf. Immediately says, uh, said Mohammed Marandi. Uh, that's ominous. That's not good.
Yeah, he's getting recruited to do massage. They were like, we really love your work. They're
saying we really love your work with with the CIA. We would like you to also work with
the massage as well. That's what it is. That's what's going on. All right, so there's some
I'm in a shit taking place here with Israel, Iran and the United States.
Uh, I will be getting to that in a second.
But basically my point was, um, my, my point was always that, um, uh, going back to the,
to the trans issue, my point always is like, Democrats don't need to concede on the trans
stuff.
They don't need to concede on the immigration stuff.
Like they need to have more confidence in their positions.
If they truly are invested in protecting marginalized identities, marginalized communities,
they have to actually do that.
They have to actually, you know, take the time out to unironically defend these communities.
And, and if they, if they don't do that, hold on.
is happening? Dude, everything is busted on my end. Like my fucking iPhone is not charging.
I feel like there's like, I got, I got hit with like a EMP or something. Um, it's like
a, you know how like the Havana syndrome gun is like, uh, supposed to be a, a, a, a convenience
that makes you like diarrhea your pants and stuff. I feel like Israel is using the the EMP that,
you know, offers minor inconveniences. Like, it's not it's not anything major. It just like
briefly goes in and out your internet briefly goes in and out and it pisses me off.
It also, you know, my my phone doesn't charge consistently.
That's what my discombobulator situation looks like.
You yelled at Chaffer and not for indulging in conspiracy theories.
Yeah, I'm fucking joking.
All right, we'll talk about Tucker Cross and being detained and stuff like that as well.
But let's get started with Holy Mr. Toledo.
I can't even watch a YouTube video man. That is crazy
That's crazy come on man all this talk of the Democratic
Oh my god. Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Is there anyone else on your network or just you? It's nothing like yesterday at all. I mean my mom is here
Maybe she's on the network, but I don't think that's the problem
On me in time at the colonials were shown though
Okay, just making sure like right now it says I have seven hundred up and like or no six up seven hundred down
four up seven hundred down
That's what it says on the internet speed test side.
But oh, three up, great.
And that's like, I'm being throttled.
I'm pretty sure I'm being throttled.
I think my ISP has been steadily throttling my ass.
But what's interesting is like they're throttling the download as well, which is new I think.
especially because they, uh, I had a technician come out last night. If you have cable, you're
banned with a share with your neighbor. Sounds like you're on doxus 3.0 still. Yeah, but
I have a, I have a business package. Like when you get the enterprise package and you
pay a fucking premium price for it, they don't throttle you. They're not supposed to at least.
And I think either, either my ISP changed its policies without telling anybody, especially
because they can get away with doing shit like that.
Or there are real issues, prerecord chat is annoying anyway.
Okay, dude, you're fucking, you're annoying for saying dumb shit like that.
I'm not going to prerecord eight hours of a broadcast at nighttime and then run it during
daytime.
What are you talking about?
What a great suggestion, dude.
I am speculating that my internet service provider has changed his contracts to basically
cook even the enterprise customers like business customers and they're fucking me now like
because back in the day if you had a regular if you had a regular if you were a regular
client during peak hours they would just throttle the fuck out of you.
So I switched over to business because I thought in business it's like it's like a it's like
an unspoken secret that business customers don't get the throttle on the same nodes that
otherwise get overloaded, where they distribute, where they experience packet loss, if you're
on the same node with like a bunch of other people in your neighborhood in your block,
they literally will just, they will cook you, they will throttle the shit out of you.
And this kind of stuff, unfortunately, is there's no real accountability.
And check it, yelling at you to get business, because you stream edit at 3pm every day.
Yeah.
And then I got business.
I got the business client.
And no, there's no fiber available in my neighborhood chat.
Please stop.
If you are the only enterprise business customer in your area, I doubt you have a dedicated
node for your crib.
No, but it doesn't matter because when you're a business enterprise customer, they
even if you're on the node with like everybody else they give you prior and
they don't actually fucking throttle your shit
that's the whole point of getting a business uh...
uh... becoming a business client
do you understand
anyway let's just watch up mister holy to lead all holy
to lead up
governor's have a whole lot of power and there's all this talk of the day
But the gubernatorial races nationwide should stand as a wake-up call for Democrats, a wake-up
call for Democrats, because take a look here, the race raiders, governors post-2026 election,
at least tilting to the Republicans.
Look at this, a majority, a majority, 26, that is at this point the number of governors
that are expected, at least tilting towards the Republican Party at this point.
Democrats come in at just 20, the rest of the races are tossed up, of course you sum
up to 50.
And I will note that the Republicans right now hold a 26 to 24 gubernatorial seat advantage.
So at this point, it doesn't look like Republicans on the net and the aggregate are actually
going to lose any governorships.
In fact, when you add in those toss-ups, they may gain.
So this should stand as a major wake-up call to Democrats because if there's a wave building,
it has not, at least at this point, hit the state level when it comes to governorships.
And add to that, you point out that when it comes to governors' races, Democrats have
had had a bit of a problem over recent years. Yeah they have had a big problem recently.
If you go back the last time, the last time that Democrats held a majority of governorships
was all the way back in 2010 and that streak is expected to continue and I will note I went
all the way back through the record books Cape Baldwin. I went all the way back through the
record books. This is now the longest streak in which Democrats did not hold the majority of
governorships in at least a century and at least a century this is a massive
problem for Democrats because as we mentioned at the top a lot of the
policies determine on the state level and if all of a sudden you can't
actually lead a majority of governorships the executive branch of the state
level that means Republicans are in fact forming and implementing most of the
policies in the states and therefore a lot of the policies nationwide. Well and
the power of the governor also has to do with how the state legislature looks
What do you what are you saying? Yeah, okay, so it's not just the governorship. How about those state legislatures, right?
Okay, take a look here Republicans have held a majority of state
Legislatures since 2012 and again, this is the longest so this is very
significant and it corresponds to the Republican agenda of
sidestepping
the legislative body and
simply
legislating through these state legislatures
where gerrymandering plays a significant advantage more so than the Senate
obviously where the Senate it doesn't exist but even more so than the the house
of representatives right like what's going on here what's taking place here
is 100% a long-standing project of the Republican Party which is to
effectively neuter the main legislative branch, and then utilize the states to do your bidding.
That's how, for example, even when Biden was in charge, they were able to push through
so many anti-trans bills at the state level.
They were able to enact a horrifying agenda of violence and cruelty towards marginalized
communities specifically through the state legislatures. And then have that maneuvering
get tested in the courts and then go all the way up to the Supreme Court, where the Supreme
Court is obviously pliant to the MAGA mission, where they would turn around and effectively
change the constitutional interpretation.
This is, sorry, I'm getting updates on the fucking, on the internet.
Every good thing that my city does, the state legislature just undermines this annoying, yeah.
It is a very reliable tool in the tool belt. There was no f-chat, I just stopped talking.
Yes, we're gonna talk about Tucker being detained in a second, okay?
Such streak, dating back at least a century in which Republicans that held the majority of the state legislatures.
In fact, for much of the 20th century, what you saw
was Democrats actually held more state legislatures
than Republicans did.
And now it is the exact opposite.
And if you go state legislature by state legislature
at this point, it seems likely, of course,
still uncertain, since we have a number of months
until November elections, the Republicans
will continue the streak of holding
the majority of state legislatures,
continue the streak of holding the majority of governorships,
and therefore Democrats will be locked out of holding
a power in positions that really do determine a lot,
a lot of the policy nationwide.
As I said, this should stand as a wake-up call
for Democrats because at this point Republicans
look like they're gonna continue
to hold majority of governorships nationwide.
A very interesting look at this.
It's good to see you here, thanks.
Nice to see you, Kate.
It appears at least for now that a bipartisan meeting
of governors at the White House is back on
after President Trump initially only invited
Republican governors, but he's still blocking
two Democratic governors from a separate dinner
and attacking the GOP chair of the National Governors Association,
a very conservative Republican.
And Kevin Stitt as a rhino,
let's bring in Democratic Governor Andy Desheer of Kentucky
to discuss it all.
Governor, there's a lot of confusion
over whether Democratic governors are still invited
to attend this bipartisan meeting
and dinner at the White House.
Kevin Stitt, the Oklahoma governor
and the chair of the National Governors Association,
seemed to say that you and your fellow Democrats
are invited. But then the president went on social media and attacked him. What's your
understanding? How sensitive or how slash Senate races, the governorship votes. So the
gubernatorial race is actually one of the few races that's kind of decoupled from party
loyalty, even though it obviously plays a massive role in the party advancing his interest
in the party advancing his agenda. Andy Bashar is actually a perfect example of this deep
red state, but he's deep blue. He's uncompromising on protecting trans people and stuff like
that. So like, it actually plays a really big role in how the parties operate. But at
the level of the voter, when they're going out and voting for a governor, it's a much
more personal decision. It's a much more personal decision and it's entirely around
like what the governor is going to do, like how the governor pitches why you have to vote for him.
Okay. The reason why I say this is because there are plenty of instances where you'll have a red
state with a blue governor and even more instances where you have a blue state with a red governor.
Right? So, the governor has tremendous power over the state and over the state legislature,
the power of the veto, the power to basically run it like a president, like a mini-president.
And yet, regardless of that, there are plenty of instances where you have more moderate
red governors in blue states, and you have blue governors in red states.
Ending, are you invited to these events?
Are you planning on going?
It's just a lot of drama and it's unnecessary.
Governors wake up every day focused on getting results, on creating better jobs, creating
safer communities, expanding access to health care, improving our public schools.
And this meeting is an annual bipartisan tradition where we try to push our differences
aside and talk about how we move forward in those areas.
Yet the president has just turned it into drama, inviting and disinviting others.
no longer looks like it's going to be productive at all. At this point, I'm not going. If you're
not going to invite all the Democratic governors, this chair of the DGA isn't going to be there.
So just for the record, it's Jared Polis of Colorado and Westmore of Maryland,
who are the two Democrats not invited. Are you worried at all that you not going will ultimately
hurt your constituents in any way, denying you an opportunity to bring up your concerns with
the president directly. We've been able to communicate with this administration for our concerns,
but there's a time when you have to stand up against the drama of a president that's turned a
annual bipartisan tradition and is treating it like he's a 12 year old and it's it's his birthday
party inviting and disinviting people lashing out at others. You know, the American people
admittedly don't care about this dinner. They don't care necessarily about the meeting. They care
about whether you're improving their lives, decreasing costs, trying to address their
everyday challenges.
So that's what I'm going to be focused on.
For the record, I've had two 12-year-olds, and neither of them would have ever done that.
The administration is increasingly focused on the midterms.
Earlier in the show, we played some sound from DHS Secretary Chris DiNome talking about
making sure the right people are voting and electing the right leaders between that and
the DOJ demanding voter information from states and the president saying he plans to implement
voter ID requirements, even without congressional approval. Are you worried as a governor about
what is going to happen at the midterms?
Well it's my job to be worried. Kristi Nome's statements are wild and they are un-American.
The president talking about not federalizing elections, he first said Republicans should
take over elections in certain states. That is anti-democracy. But Democratic governors
and AGs are ready to stand up and make sure we have full and fair elections. But I'll say this,
if you try to intimidate the American people, especially when it comes to something so
foundational as voting, I think you're underestimating them. I think you'd see huge lines and people
singing. You know, people want to be Americans first and Democrats or Republicans second,
third or fourth. You put our democracy at jeopardy. You try to intimidate them from voting
and they will step up and protect this country.
But what are you specifically talking about doing if there is an issue?
Well, the first thing we do is go to court. That's what the courts are for.
I've taken on this Trump administration despite being in a Trump plus 31 state over and over
and over and we've been winning. When they've tried to take the personal information of our
citizens so that they can use it as they wish, we stood up to them. When they tried to cancel
funding so that we could create a warning system in eastern Kentucky for the next time it would
flood. We stood up to them time and time again. They've overreached like trying to send National
Guard from Texas to Illinois. We were a part of that lawsuit standing up and waiting for the American
people. You talk about needing FEMA in the case of a natural disaster of any sort. Are you worried
all the chatters? Yes, we're going to talk about Israel in a little bit. Obviously, please, please.
Okay, I know I know like calm down you a lot of you are spamming but I want to
move through this at the pace that I would like to I know Trump is live at a
black history month reception but where he he time but I said I'm looking for
other people like you how many are there many and I was worried because I then I
was worried I said well maybe she's gonna say everybody should be let out
I went out of believer in that I said so Alice are there people that shouldn't believe you
met a lot of people will get to this in a little bit cuz he's already had a Jesse Jackson sound
bite as well from this uh uh you know expected gaff machine right obviously Trump talking about
about Black History Month is going to be disastrous.
Okay?
And I know Tucker Cross has been fucking detained!
Stop!
I know!
Fuck!
You think I'm unfamiliar with Tucker Cross
and being fucking detained in Israel?
You think I don't know about this?
I do know about this.
What do you want me to do?
Fuck!
about Senate Democrats blocking DHS funding in this latest government shutdown standoff?
Well, hopefully it won't last too long because FEMA is incredibly important, and I will admit
it's operating pretty well under this president, at least the people on the ground that are
helping people after the natural disasters. But ICE is out of control. They have an American
They have injured and wrongfully shot others.
They have two agents that are being investigated for perjury,
and their leadership attacks anyone involved in an altercation
with ICE as domestic terrorists before they even know the information.
This is a group that thinks they can barge into an American's home
with an administrative warrant.
We have to stand up for them,
and Democrats should be using their leverage to try to get reform and retraining.
So you're the new chairman of the DGA as you alluded to, you had an op-ed in the New York
Times talking about how the focus of the Democratic Party must return to creating better jobs,
more affordable and accessible healthcare, safer roads and bridges, education, communities
where people feel safer.
I have to ask, it's no secret you're weighing a potential presidential run in 2028.
Do you think Democrats right now are conveying the message that you laid out in that New
your time's up, Ed. And how do you respond to a Democratic voter who might say, I like
you, I like your track track record in a red state or red Commonwealth, but you're
too soft spoken.
Well first, yes, that message is working. Look at Abigail Spanberger and Mikey Sherrill
ran great campaigns in in races that should have been structurally difficult. And they
both won by double digits. You know, the DGA and our candidates are winning.
Bashar is the pleasant face to the establishment liberalism, okay? That's the, like he is in
the tank for the establishment wing of the party. But because of his, because of his
background being a blue governor and uncompromising, seemingly uncompromising blue governor in
in a red state, he gets to be like the principal defender of the Spamburgers of the Democratic
Party and that's what he's doing here, right?
He is advocating from a position of real influence too, right?
Because of the reasons that I just mentioned.
He is advocating for the establishment neoliberal democratic wing of the party saying like we
need more CIA agents basically.
You have to treat this with the same response that you treat like a Gavin Newsom, right?
Gavin Newsom says this stuff in a deep blue state, and therefore it's easier to fucking
disparage.
But when Andy Bashar says this, when Andy Bashar says this, he's saying this from a
a red state. So obviously people pay attention to it. He probably is one of the, for this
reason, he's probably one of the scariest individuals that can make this argument, a convincing
argument that you have to do more moderate centrism. You have to just reform ice, not
abolish it, all this stuff because see, I'm in a red state. I'm, I'm, I'm obviously, uh,
dominant in a red state. And the reason why I'm dominant in a red state is because I compromise
on these issues, right? Except the reality of the matter is the reason why he's dominant
in his state is because he's a dynastic name in the state. Like his father was also a recognizable
individual. That's part of the reason why he's allowed to, he's allowed to be an uncompromising
figure of sorts and and has developed a lot of he's developed enough like voter loyalty.
People like his services, these constituent services. His, his narrative doesn't actually
work in all these other states. Okay. Everywhere. For me, I believe that the American people
want stability, that Donald Trump is exhausting. Many Americans feel like the pendulum swung
too far during the Biden administration, and it swung way too far during the Trump administration.
And what they want is an America.
Yeah, a reasonable moderate centrist.
Or they can wake up every morning and not be worried about its future.
And I think they want leadership that's focused on them, on whether they make enough money to
not only afford their groceries, but take their kids on that vacation that they went on as kids.
That young couple wants to be able to afford their first home around the same age as their parents.
people want to feel safe in their communities, believe their kids are going to great public schools.
Those are the types of things that I think are not only appealing to the American people,
but maybe can help us heal to recognize that most yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. It's
fucking bullshit. All right. McKeem Jeffries asked Point Blank about Bernie Sanders endorsing
progressive challengers to house races. He's going to have a bad argument here as well.
Now, of course, before we get to that, I do want to talk about a complimentary piece
to this conversation that is taking place right now. The New York Times went and asked
a bunch of Democratic Party voters, lifelong Democratic Party voters, people who voted
for the Democrats in the past, how they feel about the current state of affairs in the
Democratic Party.
And I think it's very interesting because there are a lot more people in the base. There
There are a lot more people in the base of the Democratic Party who have opinions breaking
Tucker detain in Israel.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna fly up to Israel right now so they can fucking detain me and then
hopefully kill me in prison in an Israeli prison.
Oh my God, Chatters, I know.
Okay.
I fucking know.
You want to know why I know?
Because I, of course, is a huge story.
It's literally in the fucking, look, read the, read the pinned.
Read the P, read the PIN statement. We are aware Tarkarosa has been detained. We are aware of the situation in Israel and Iran. Please stop.
You're not breaking anything. You're just breaking my will to live. The only thing you are breaking is my will to survive. Okay?
Did you know? Did you? I did. Anyway, as I was saying, the complimentary piece of this
is the New York Times piece that I would like to get to. Does anyone have the link for that?
Maybe you can send me a link that I actually want to see for once. Okay, that could be
nice. Dude, I know about the ice thing. We watched it yesterday with Waja, Waja hot Ali
and, and, and Hakeem Jeffries. Yes. You need to listen on screen. No, I don't. You want
know why because nobody reads anything. Okay. Nobody reads anything. The people, the people
that come in to spam whatever is happening come in with good intentions, but unfortunately
they are illiterate. Okay. So it doesn't matter. Thank you for the link, guys. But the reality
is I've tried all of these different methods. I've tried all these different methods to
be like, how do we do this? How do we, uh, how do we get people to be, uh, understanding
of like what I've covered thus far, what I will eventually cover. And people just come
in and they're like, I don't know how to read dude. I don't even know how to fucking type
shit. I don't, I don't even know how I'm, I'm illiterate. I don't even know how I actually
sent you this, this breaking news. Tucker Carlson has been detained.
Anyway, so we're going to get to the New York Times piece.
What word would you use to describe the Democratic Party?
Okay, this is an interactive piece from the New York Times.
And virtually every single person from every age group that they, that they asked this
question to said the same shit.
Michael 56, book dealer paralyzed, Terrell, 68, retired, sold out, afraid, Denise, 57,
account manager.
This is an opinion editorial piece called America in Focus, and the main takeaway was
show up for us 13 Democratic voters on Trump, ICE, and their frustrations with the Democratic
Party.
Donald Trump's second presidency has remade American life in just a year.
Democrats and others worry about the erosion of civil rights, cuts to social safety net,
and the significant aggressive increase in deportations across the country.
Amid major debates among activists, pundits, and elected officials about what direction
the party should take, Time's opinion assembled 13 Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters
to ask if the party is handling the moment, what changes and re-prioritizations they
want to see, and what kind of Democrats are standing out.
Participants in our group weren't unclear about what the party stands for, the greater
good and the protection of civil rights. But many also expressed dissatisfaction with a
lack of resolve this past year during shutdown fights as well as more broadly.
Again, every single pressure point that I have fucking yelled at the Democrats over,
these guys also feel the same way. And these guys aren't Hassanabi heads. This is the New
York Times people. This is the establishment newspaper. It's not like this is, we're not
We're not reading Jacobin, okay?
We're reading The New York Times.
I need you to understand.
Yeah, they're too young to be honest on how he heads.
Even recognizing that there isn't much Democrats can do out of power, people wanted more action
and more aggression, especially if and when the Democrats take power again.
You will hear the same exact sentiment that we express in here every single day, being
expressed by people who are nowhere near the demographics of being in this community.
They're not card-carrying democratic socialists of America, party members, but they share
the same enmity and the same anger that we all do.
Okay?
particular they want to candidates who were young progressive and from a more modest or
working class background with clear and simple messages and as far as democrats were standing
out to these people jasmine crocket peep bootages are on the gavin newson many of them are the
ones who've made a point in appearing in combative media environments invoking a famous michelle
obama quote after the past few years these voters no longer want a party that goes high
Okay. So these are the participants. Um, there's like two 36 year olds in there. Okay. One
29 year old in there, Arizona, uh, Asian independent computer science, 33 Mike is from North Carolina,
white Democrat telecoms. Okay. There's a 33 year old, uh, black Democrat voter, career
coach from Michigan. But here is the first question that they ask, fill in the blank
for me. I'm feeling bleep about the way things are going in the country these days. Okay.
Confused about the direction the country is going. Frustrated, upset and concerned, discouraged,
strongly concerned, terrified and angry, disappointed, pessimistic. I was going to say frustrated,
terrified, tired, tired and sad and upset. Now, this makes sense when the Republicans
are in charge. Of course, Democrats are going to say this kind of stuff. Anybody have a
positive word? No, I don't. No, absolutely not. These are tough words, Candy. Let me
start with you. You said for sure to tell me why. I know people who are immigrants.
So just what's going on with immigration and even being myself a U.S. citizen, I'm concerned
about getting pulled over and shot and killed. Or one of my family members is going to get
discriminated against. I'm scared to leave my home. I already work at home. Now I feel
like I have to stay here because I'm so scared. People feel paralyzed because of the ICE activities
that are taking place all around the country, right? Have any other people have had an experience
like candies? My family's all immigrants. We're all citizens, but I worry about my parents
going out. They learned English later in their lives. I've heard that ICE is near where we
We live, I'm wondering if I have to carry the, have them carry their passports around
when they need to go get groceries and things like that.
Laura from Iowa says, I have family members who are immigrants that concerns me that even
though they're citizens, they could be out doing normal day to day things, especially
the kids in tow and just be yanked off the street and we wouldn't be able to intervene
in any way.
Yeah, I just feel there, we're at the point now that we're being treated like animals.
I'm Puerto Rican, I speak full Spanish, so sometimes I'm scared to go out and speak my
native language. My mother, I'm afraid for her because she's older. They might just judge her
by the way she looks. So I'm very, very frustrated. Moderator says, I want to hear from some other
folks like, what was on your mind when you said all the words that people said, discouraged,
frustrated, terrified, et cetera, people who are maybe not immigrants, but minorities and things
like that are just being targeted. There's a lot in my community about ice coming and pulling over
people. And it's disheartening actually. Christian, you said discouraged. One, a lot of the economic
policies that have been put in place, looking at the job market, looking at the numbers that just
came out today, worst number in years. It feels just economically, there's no real light at the
end of the tunnel. The immigration policies are also a disaster and they're inhumane.
Socially, some people have just embraced being blatantly racist, whether it's towards immigrants,
whether it's towards African-Americans, it's been normalized not to say it ever,
not to say it ever fully won away, but we've just regressed.
Kady says, I wake up in the morning and I look at my phone and it's another headline.
I saw something on Facebook the other day that was from the onion and I had to double
check to make sure that that was where it came from because in reality that we're living
right now, it's hard to tell the difference between real life and satire, which is not
a good place to be in.
I would say that I've been discouraged since 2016, Trump's first term.
Nothing has changed since then.
It's gotten worse and worse and worse.
Now people are being shot in the street and it's like, well, how far is it going to go
now?
It's just not right.
about 10 years ago, I used to think that things would be a little better every year or over
time. Now it just seems for the most part, the government is putting into place policies
that are meant to take advantage of people who need the most help and the benefit of
the people who are well off. How do you get ahead when this is the situation? How do you
Kaya? How do you get ahead when this is the situation, huh? How? Oh, you like being, you
like being noticed. Is that what it is? That's what it is. Look at her tail. Look at her little
tail wag. You just like being noticed. This is how we get ahead. Hello? Hello?
Do we still, do we still fully don't know what's happening in the concentration camps and they're
They're literally destroying cameras and videos on hard drives. I know.
She wants the sound board here. Look at this. Kaya place.
I now officially have a place button.
Who's your little lady? Okay. Come here. Come here.
Little bus scratches. Hello. Hello. Hello.
You can't keep getting away with it? Yeah, finally I do. Now I officially have a button where I electrocute Kaia.
Yeah, isn't that wonderful?
It would have been a good asl.
Anyway, I feel the same way.
I'm sorry for the people that are going through this in their lives.
I know it's because I'm fair.
It's not just right.
The rule by the.
So everybody, your organization.
The question is, what is the best days behind us ahead of us or happening now?
Everybody said.
Wait is it effing again? Oh, I didn't even realize that it was effing
I'm being throttled again Kaias revenge
Okay, okay, you got to get out of there go back up back up back up back up back up lady
I
Sv hates the soundboard to your voice gets wobbly and laggy, but we never drop or anything. Okay good
Can't stand there let it lady. You can't stand there because unfortunately, I don't want to I don't want to drive over you
You use too much power on the place button. Yeah to electrocute it with the tesla coils
It fried my electricity grid
They all say it's behind us. None of them says America's best days are ahead of us. Once
he's out of office, what's going to happen on some of the things that people have been
bringing up tonight, immigration, economic policy, women's rights, gay rights. I say
it entirely depends on what the party has power, on what party has power and who gets
elected. I don't know if we're going to be living in a pendulum situation for years and
years and years after this, where one party does these things and the next party shows
to undo it and on and on. My concern is that the things that the revokes are doing now,
they're going to be hard to undo. Yeah, it depends on who comes into power next, I guess.
But if they don't wield it as brazenly as he's wielding it to undo some of the things that
he's doing without asking the voters what we want to do or asking anybody besides just
whatever he wants to do, Democrats are too afraid to do anything I feel like. So if they
come into power, they've got to do something. Okay. Michael from Pennsylvania is now out.
from North Carolina is now in for the record. It's over that we have a new Michael now.
And you will see more and more of Michael from North Carolina cooking in ways that Michael
from Pennsylvania never could. Like if we're being real. RIP to Michael from Pennsylvania.
Long live the new Michael from long live the new Michael Michael to revenge of the Michaels.
Yeah. Shots fired. Yeah, shots fired. Okay. How often do you feel like you're thinking
about politics and thinking about Donald Trump? I mean, they, Donald Trump and talking about
politics. I'm skipping. You talk to somebody about politics at least once a day, all day
for me because of Instagram. Every day, every day, every day, Instagram, TikTok. I used
to be pretty apolitical. I wasn't really interested in as much and then 2024 came around. I just
I found myself super interested and I'm following state reps and senators and things that I was never really into much before.
I keep up with it every day, but don't necessarily talk about it every day.
For the most part, everyone in my life, I know is reading the same stuff I am.
No point in preaching the choir.
How do you feel Trump's second term comparisons first worse?
Definitely worse.
When you imagine a potential second term term, it's worse than I expected.
I didn't think it would be this bad because I thought there'd be checks and balances.
Like we were always told, like basically most of the things.
that you are feeling, these people are also feeling. It's very common. This is a very
common feeling. This is why I always say, you're not alone. And I have experienced this
in the real world, where I go to these events, I go to these protests, I go to these marches,
I go to places where liberals congregate, right? And not even just liberals, but like
independents, older people in general. And they have the same exact animosity both towards the
way that the Republicans are handling the situation, hatred towards Donald Trump, but then anger and
resentment towards the Democrats as well. Okay, this is important to understand.
It's important to understand because you're not alone in this anger. And yet there is an entire
media ecosystem dedicated to telling you, no, things are great. The Democrats are actually
going to win by small margins, and then they're going to do business as usual politics and
you're going to like it.
We're going to move and pivot towards moderation again and again and again.
If you pivot towards moderation at a time when republics are growing far right, then
all you have is a center right to far right existence.
We cannot do that.
We must do away with this mentality, okay?
And trust me, the average liberal sentiment is closer to yours than you ever could have
imagined.
In 2016, resistance liberalism took hold, it took root, and therefore by 2020, Bernie
Sanders' movement in momentum was quickly packed up by the time the primaries were
in effect.
A lot of the establishment liberals, establishment Democrats were like leaning into the Bernie
mccrack message some of those policies but they didn't actually have any
investment in it whatsoever and obama came in and he cleared the field for
joe biden and we all know the rest is history right so there are a lot of these
people that if you're if you talk to your liberal centrist you know lifelong
democrat voter parents and people in your life you will realize that many of
them even if they say like they like Gavin Newsom or whatever they are
demanding more from the Democrats. They want more from the Democrats. They want the Democrats
to actually fight. Some of them think, okay, well, Gavin Newsom is putting on a fight.
Jasmine Crockett is putting on a fight because they're aesthetically presenting themselves
as putting on a fight. Okay? But many of them want more in terms of policy. It is upon us
to explain to them that it's not just about the aesthetics of putting on a fight, it's
not just about the style, but it's also about the substance.
Putting on a substantive fight means having a more radical vision for change, being unafraid,
unafraid to push the Democrats in the appropriate direction to win elections. Okay?
And this is, you know, this was a very important takeaway. We're gonna talk a little bit more
about the Democratic Party. If you had to use one or two words describe Democratic Party,
what would you pick? Spindless, more complacent than I thought they would be. Okay? Paralyze,
afraid, incompetent, I guess suffocated or given up. Our local government is
trying to do a lot but then in the House and the Senate they're getting voted
against the Republican majority so sold out. As a 68 year old, a 68 year old
saying sold out. I just feel we've we were never being governed. We're being
Looted the Democratic Party lines their pockets and created they created this mess
I do like what Trump's doing in terms of the terrorists. They've been milking us for God knows when now that last part is not so great
Okay, what other words do people would you or would people use to describe the Democrats sellouts and suckers?
Immobilized
Can I say no balls?
No, cojones
I will say that there are a large number of young Democrats that are really starting to
climb the ranks in the party that are motivated.
I'm hoping that that word starts to take over a little more.
Like this is like, I mean, this, I could, this is, if I got an article written like
this, people would understandably say I paid for it.
Like these are paid actors.
So I'm glad that it's coming from the establishment newspaper, The New York Fuckin' Times, okay?
I said, this tracks 100% with what I've seen on the streets from the no-kings protest to
the resistance against ICE.
People are very mad at their party.
Them's on here are oblivious to the anger.
They're speaking into an echo chamber of consultants who tell them what they want to hear, okay?
And it's not just consultants.
Madaglase has wrote this in October admitting the groups is something he heard in Washington.
Now he writes about the groups for his Washington audience.
He doesn't realize he's building the echo chamber.
This is a major problem.
The Democratic Party's electeds want to hear from people that agree with them.
And there are plenty of client consultants and analysts that will give them what they
want to hear.
Madaglacius is one of the worst versions of this, okay?
The DNC has bubbled themselves in to this weird echo chamber where they, they are constantly
demanding a steady flow of policy papers and focus groups that tell them the people demand
a, a moderate agenda, the people demand a moderate agenda.
And it's fucking crazy because that moderate agenda is seen as dog shit because it failed.
the leader of the democrats in the house is saying something that's complete
incomplete contravention
to an overwhelming majority of his own voter base let alone
the growing number of independence that are leaving this party
for the very attitude that we're talking about with the hasan thing
the entitlement
the the the
uh... the entitlement
to anti-democracy
like like like sit with that for a second
you have
hakeem jeffreys there
who is getting
pissy
that watch out all these trying to press him
on the fact that he's taking blood money from a genocidal right wing group
when you have a poll from around six months ago at this point
in gala
that showed that
it's like something like four
this percent five percent single digits
of democratic voters that support israel's military action in gaza the
overwhelming majority
are opposed to it
the majority believe it's genocide
exactly
uh... we watched that watch a hot ollie uh... debate between him and hakeem
jeffreys the other day
uh... it's disastrous
it's fucking disastrous in a marxism is right he says it's actually so
frustrating how often so many conversations
even on the left assume that the democrats are even trying to represent
voters which is they don't represent voters they represent the capitalist
the sooner we realize and build power for ourselves, the better.
This is why it's important to actually establish outside pressure mechanisms,
whether it be labor unions, community organizing, tenants unions.
By the way, it shouts out to the new initiative in Kansas City for tenants unions.
Cinemarxism is reminding me of that, but it's true, it's true.
The DSA is another component of this as well.
I'm never going to disparage people that are trying to actively reshape the Democratic Party in a direction
In a direction that that is is beneficial for the working class's interest
Okay, we got to do away with business as usual politics in the Democratic Party
We got to do away with
Establishment neoliberal politics in general. It is completely ridiculous. They are they are the reason you should
remind people that they are the reason why Kamala Harris lost, okay?
Like Kamala Harris lost for this reason. They did it. They did everything right, okay? They
followed Madaglacius's agenda to a tee. They followed David Shorism. They followed Jonathan
Shate. All of these guys were writing think pieces on how wonderful the Democrats were
operating, how great Kamala Harris was in their pivot to centrism.
Now, of course, after the spectacular failure, they're trying to rewrite history to make
it seem like they didn't pivot to the fucking middle hard enough.
They did.
They did.
They did everything right, and they still lost every single fucking swing state.
So clearly, that's not working, okay?
It's the often misattributed Einstein code, like the definition of insanity is doing the
same thing a million times over and expecting different results.
literally just the Democratic Party's politics, doing it over and over again, pivoting to
the center over and over again, pivoting to the center endlessly and expecting a victory.
I work for Unite here at the Labor Union. I work in the back office, but we have periodical
meetings about political strategy and my union leadership right now are way, way, way more
radicalizing that what they were doing in 2024. My union president said moderate Democrats
aren't enough and we need even more power outside the Democratic party. Good. Good.
Cause major labor unions, let's be real, have also been sheepdogs for the establishment
Democrats for the most part. And I'm glad that that's changing too. Good. It's a necessity.
Like no disrespect. I love the labor unions. I ride for the labor unions, but it's not
a secret that the labor unions have also kind of been on the Democratic Party agenda and
they've lost the rank and file whipping power that they have.
For that reason, not, not all unions are the same. I'm of course talking about like IDW,
the rank and filers that have moved in the right word direction, voting for fucking the
Republican party and voted for Trump in particular. Same with the teamsters where there's a lot
rank and filers that have also done that. Part of that reason is because the Democrats
are not seen to be defending the rights of the working class, the labor unions in general,
their interests. And I've thought a lot about this, okay? I have thought a lot about this.
Now you speak of labor union correctly, no more authoritarian Hasan, please. Wait, what?
I don't know what you're saying. Anyway, I thought a lot about this. There was an MSNOW
contributor that actually spoke on this, where he was like, Joe Biden was one of the best
fucking Democrats for labor unions overall. He like walked a picket line, all true things.
But why is it that the rank infilers are still hyper-focusing on cultural war narratives
and operating under the assumption that the Democrats are no longer invested in defending
labor unions and union power in general or depending the defending labor power in general.
And that's because regular people obviously understandably measure the Democratic Party
as one big institution. They measure the Democratic Party on the Democratic Party's
weakest members
Because at the end of the day the rotating villain structure that exists within the party and
The lack of interest in whipping those people at the top of the party is what causes there to be a
Diluted and much weaker agenda for labor unions if you don't get card check at the end of the day for example
Right something that unions have demanded for a very long time. It doesn't matter if Joe Biden is walking the picket line
It's symbolically important, but at the end of the day, if you don't get card checked,
because there's plenty of spoilers within the Democratic Party's infrastructure,
the Democratic Party's ecosystem, then all people see is you not getting these important
pieces of legislation across the finish line. From their perspective, you didn't do that for them,
right? You didn't do that for them at all. So why the fuck should they think that
that you're pro-labor. It makes sense. They don't make the harm reduction argument. Internally,
they never make the harm reduction argument. Most normal people do not think about harm
reduction. This is something that I'm trying to get across, right? They want, they want
an agenda that you are championing to go across the finish line, okay? It's that simple. We
We gotta do away with the rotating villains.
We have to whip them.
We have to punish them.
We have to punish them if they step out of line.
We have to have more organizational discipline within the structure of the Democratic Party,
even for the modest social Democratic gains, okay?
That's it.
And a big component of doing away with that ecosystem is by addressing this, addressing
this false notion that the only way to have this big tent democratic party is by running
establishment candidates, or by running candidates that actually adorn the moniker of progress
and then do away with that progress when they're in power.
The greatest example I can give you is Marie concentration camp Perez, a person that literally
ran on like a justice democrat style campaign and then quickly became a part of the problem
solvers caucus, a self-declared group of individuals that play the role of spoilers from within
the democratic party.
Okay, John Fetterman is another great example of this.
John Fetterman saying, well, I flipped the red area.
Yeah, bitch, you flipped it by lying about being progressive.
It's crazy.
You prove that you don't actually have to look like you're compromised.
You won with a, you won with a progressive campaign, a straightforwardly progressive
campaign, even when you had fucking brain damage.
Like people literally were like, I will vote for a stroke victim as long as they are progressive
enough and for some maybe it was because you you know looked the part of an ogre
in western Pennsylvania and they were like oh he looks like me talks like me
honor really care if he's actually you know woke or whatever but the reality of
the matter is you were woke when you ran you were woke when you run when you won
when you ran and when you won
It's that simple.
Consider this analogy. You and your family share a car. A family friend asks the bar of the car. You say no. Your family gives him the keys anyway. He brings it back and the brakes were swapped. You say you should pay to fix the brakes.
Some of your family members say let it go. The friend takes the car again. T-bones and minivan kills the family. Insurance makes you pay. Hashtag DNC. Dark.
My rich liberal wine aunt who campaign for hilly in twenty sixteen was wearing a obama
twenty twenty eight shirt a christmas text me asked me
uh... asked to borrow my copy of the people's issue the united states is posting what he
got three coats
uh... songs on her face book the tide is shifting yes
it's happening all around us i swear to god it's not me on copium
the democrats in charge are not responding to it but the pressure is there
the momentum is there the momentum is on our side
because people have seen far too many losses at this point.
It's getting there, or people are like,
okay, well, we did centrism over and over again.
You sold us this notion, this false notion
that centrism is going to actually bring us
electoral victories and it only brought us electoral defeat.
I think the second loss to Donald Trump
Trump really worked to destroy the, the, the, the second defeat that the establishment Democrats
had against Trump as well, when Trump was even more incompetent in the first round, made
Democrats realize, Democrat voters realize that the, the pivot to the center narratives
are just simply a failure. And they're seeing it on their own, by the way. It's not like
they're seeing it because they all magically became Hassanabi heads, right? They're not
watching me. They might not even fucking like me if they know who I am. Many of them don't.
And yet, they agree with what we have seen for years. Okay? Because at the end of the
today, if there's one principle that motivates every single person from the blue dog Democrats
down to the fucking Maoist third worldists who don't even want to vote, it is that they
do not want to see Republican fascists in power, okay? That is the one uniting principle
that brings all of us together from all different walks of life, from different ethnic backgrounds,
different lived experiences, fuck it. Even people who are like small business tyrants, right?
There are people who are responsible for the wages of others who are a part of the ownership
class in some meaningful capacity who still go, I don't want to fucking Republican and charge,
man. It is too much instability. It's too much violence. I don't want to see it.
That's it.
That's it.
Hassan Abihaz, we need a better name. Yeah, parasocialists.
That is, that is the one uniting principle. We do not want Republicans elected, okay?
That's part of the reason why a lot of these fucking centrist neoliberals will consistently say
that I want Republicans elected because it's gonna be a tremendous opportunity for me to
farm fuckin' subscriptions or some shit.
They have to find a way to be like Hassan actually doesn't hate Republicans.
We on the other hand, who tell you every four years that we have to become more like the
Republicans in order to defeat the Republicans, we actually truly hate the Republicans.
It's fuckin' bullshit.
It's bullshit.
My resentment for the Democrats come from their closeness to the Republicans, okay?
It's bad politics and it's bad policy.
I don't want Republicans in charge.
I don't want Republicans to ever win another election ever again.
Centres do not care about that.
It's ridiculous.
But fear not.
It seems like a lot of people are also on the same wavelength.
that might be misguided and think that Gavin Newsom represents that change. And we must
do away with that notion. And I think like when push comes to shove, and when people
actually realize that Gavin Newsom is a representative of that establishment wing of the party,
they will move away from that. Okay. But we're, but getting back to this article now, we're
going to talk a little bit more about the Democratic party. We already covered this.
What other words sellouts? We already covered this during the recruitment of this group.
Everyone identified in some ways being a Democrat or leaning towards Democrats. Tell me what
does the Democratic party stand for? So I grew up in Pittsburgh, very blue collar time.
whole family was that way. But then even as I got old enough to make my own
choices, I just identified more with the Democratic Party because I didn't feel
very Republican. I grew up in a conservative household, not a liberal
household. I've always felt more, I've always felt like more than not that the
Democrats supported policy programs that were for the greater good that would
help move people up and forward. Whereas Republicans, more than not, just said,
well, you're on your own. The Republicans, sorry, really just want to help the rich
get richer. For me, it's always been more about the greater good and being
accepting of everyone, no matter who you are. There's a big civil rights component.
One analogy I've heard is that Democrats would rather 10 kids get free lunch,
then say, even if nine don't need it, but then that one needs it versus the Republicans will
say, Oh, well, there's nine kids who are getting free lunch. They'd rather the one person starve.
So pretty interesting way to put it, but yeah, people use wars like spineless weeks scared,
afraid. What are they afraid of? It seems like to me they're scared to speak up.
I've heard Democrats speak up when they're interviewing these senators on television
about the killings of Minnesota. I mean, they are speaking their mind.
They can talk the talk, but can they walk the walk?
And I'm hoping that they will. The Democrats are really good at speaking when they want to,
but they want to act like they care. But at the end of the day, for example, when they gave in
to giving ICE money, they're suckers. They get suckered in really easily by the Republicans.
The Republicans call them a couple of words, and the Democrats believe it.
I feel like the Democratic Party always tries to take the high road and do it the right way.
And the other side is going so scorched earth that it takes so much more to try to do it the right way
I'm not going I'm not saying go low
But I mean at some point you got to meet them a little bit in the middle you have to be a little bit more aggressive with your message
I don't know if that's complacency or some of these people like these people are so close to understanding that the democrats represent controlled opposition party
And that we must do away with those who actually actively
undermine the interests of democracy
The we have done through where we were liberals.
We had some kind of start point
where we were liberals and so we moved away from that.
Slowly, but surely through observation through observing reality through recognizing that the Democrats actually do not present the change necessary
What have people seen from the Democratic Party over the last year since Trump has been office
We saw Melissa Hortman and her husband get murdered in their home and no Republican really baddened
I compared to the response of Charlie Kirk got and you see again
Our own president is lying and spewing hate every day if I were a Democrat
I would probably be pretty scared about the things that I said to I have a lot of respect for Jasmine Crockett and Pete Buttigieg
I love them. They're really standing firm. Oh, God. Democrats have folded a little bit
lately to move things along. Unfortunately, not in the way that we would like because
they don't want to see all these people not getting paid in a shutdown or a country out,
moving forward, not saying it's 100% right. But it's one of those damned if you do damned
if you don't situation because they're largely out of power. Don't give them that. Don't
give them that. Has anybody been following elections that have happened over the past
year? Democrats have flipped seats that were Republican. I know Texas one got just, it
just got flipped and they have been by large margins. So what does that tell you? It tells
you that the Republicans are about to rig the next election because that's, that's what's
happening right now. True. How do you square the negative feelings towards Democrats with
the fact that they're winning these elections? I square it because I feel like they're always
playing catch up. It's true. So yeah, they've won some seats, but people are upset about
Trump. And so they're voting for Democrats. I still don't think they're gonna take the
house next year. They would have never considered redistricting until the Republicans did it.
Not saying that they should have, but it's like, what else are Republicans gonna do first?
Oh, that's so perfect. What would you say are the Democratic party shranks? They got
really good health policies. They're for the greater good, all this stuff. How would you
then respond to what somebody else said? They're out of power. They don't have the White House
or the Senator Congress. So what are they supposed to do? It's definitely a good point.
However, you don't just lie down and say, oh, well, sorry, we can't. Yes, we don't have it,
but that doesn't mean that they can't fight for it. And it's scary with some of the
retaliation of things that are happening, but they need to stay in firm. See?
See? When you say you want to see the Democrats stand up and fight, what does that look like?
Just getting the message right. You hear the Republican side, they'll spew nonsense about
everything. And I'm not saying spew nonsense, but they can't get a clear, cohesive message
out there and they don't all stand together on that message.
So no one knows, hey, we're fighting for you for this. They just think, hey, you're just
locking the whole government up because you're being stubborn and they lose steam and then
they lose their people behind them. They just go belly up on the government shutdown. Oh
my god. There it is. There it fucking is. The whole blaming the Democrats thing was just
a big Fox news story of let's blame the Democrats, but they had some real bargaining power there
and they just pushed in the chips and said, no, it's all right. I don't want to play this
game anymore. It's like, no, if the Republicans are going to play this game, you got to play
the game. We can't just sit around and not play. California is doing it the right way.
They're like, okay, well, if you're going to take the seats from us, we're going to give
ourselves more cease to counteract what you're doing. That's what we should be doing.
This is the last thing I'm going to read from this article before I move on. Has anybody
seen anything from the Democrats, any candidate or public figure or someone locally that's
made you say, oh yeah, we need more of this? This is what we should be going for.
Zoran Mamdani. Clear, concise messaging. It's exactly what everybody wants. It helps
everybody. It's the perfect messaging because it's clear and concise, unlike Democrats.
Just like Bernie. Bernie said the same things since the 80s. You've got to tax the billionaires.
got the tags the upper class he's never changed that's the messaging you've got
the drill it into them and Zoran did it man it's beautiful and then Diane comes
in from the top row 72 years old white Democrat retired says Mike said it
pretty clearly and I can't really think of anything to add to that and they ask
Who else is someone says Isaiah Martin? He doesn't hold back. He just went on jubilee and went against like 20 conservatives and to me
They got all embarrassed. He's asking them questions and they get tongue-twisted. They can't answer the question
People to just a big one for me. Jasmine Crockett. She tells it like it is. I was gonna say Mike said it pretty spot-on
When people are saying what Mike said, do y'all mean you like Mamdani and Bernie, you like the idea of simple messaging or all the above?
of. Panth comes in says the Democratic party needs to embrace voices that resonate with
people when you hear Bernie, he has energy because he really believes in what he's saying.
It's the same reason Trump resonates with people because he acknowledges some of the
struggles that they're facing. Sure, he blames the wrong groups, but at least he voices it.
This is literally, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, I'm walking away. I'm walking away,
dude. I'm done. There's nothing else I need to fucking say. We're, we're here. May Allah
Awaken the people and help them to see the evil doings of Israel and the United
This is the new york times. These are random democratic party voters and it seems like Allah has awakened them
Not just to the evil doings of Israel in the united states, but specifically
the evil doings of establishment Democrats. Okay? Straight up. The wind is on our fucking
sails. I have never felt this hopeful. I have never felt this excited about what we could
potentially accomplish within the confines of permissibility, within the confines of
at least one of the two major powers in this country, major political planks in this country.
The Democrats are weak, and it is, we are closer to seizing power than ever before.
This doesn't mean that the Democratic Party is going to become a socialist party, okay?
I'm not saying that at all. I'm simply stating that in order to unlock class consciousness
and in order to achieve the modicum of revolutionary potential that exists in the heart
of Americans, the American working class in particular, we have an opportunity more than ever
before to actually put forth a much bolder vision, an agenda that truly changes the dynamic of
of business's usual politics.
And the way to do that,
that runs through the Democratic Party at least,
is by putting socialists into office,
and to show people that when socialists are in office,
they actually make the necessary changes.
Shut the fuck up Democrats,
they're not the working class party
what the fuck are you on about?
Brat, brat, brat, brat.
Is that, is that what I said?
Is that what I said?
Did I say that?
Did you just not, did you miss here?
Did you not hear the part where I said the exact opposite?
Ah!
Why is it that so many of you come in here and refuse to listen to the words that I am
telling you?
Okay?
Okay, I was a bit trolling.
Sorry.
Okay, take an hour off.
Take an hour off, chatter.
Holy Toledo.
Jesus Christ, dude.
Jesus Christ, I had to blammo this chatter.
Blammo! Blammo!
Just joined a chat already getting lectured.
Yeah, well sometimes you fucking need it, okay?
Sometimes you need it.
I'm gay! And Lebanese!
I mean, come on. Come on, dude. I'm gay and Lebanese.
Ugh. Okay, that was crazy. What do you mean? Yeah, crazy good.
I want all of us on back to one who talked about positive and nothing else and didn't use a soundboard. Yeah. Well, we're moving on to it. This is a new direction. Okay.
Okay. This is a direction where legalized comedy. That's right.
Comedy is legal now. Legalized comedy. Yeah. Yeah.
And pussy too. All right. I'm loving the sound surprise.
It feels like when you would pull a 10, 10 top of the hour ad break.
Yeah, that's right. We need a, we need a PBS one too.
Soundboard haters are revisionist. I agree. Billionaires propped up 20 plus abundance
groups liberal media figures and bears themselves saying the party needed to moderate. It didn't
work because people are smarter than the elites think says Joe wrote. And it's true.
All these guys, basically all they did in the aftermath of this spectacular defeat that
everyone experienced that everyone was frustrated by. They turned around and said,
actually guys, we didn't go to the center hard enough. We didn't go to the right hard enough.
Okay. And then they basically, the Democrats basically decided we shouldn't do anything.
We should not even like try to protest against the Republicans and their agenda,
because we'll cause people to understand that the Republicans are bad. And we can just turn
around us AC, we're a much better option and we can do business as usual politics all again and
eke out a marginal victory. Well, it turns out people are still very fucking frustrated
and they're not just frustrated at the Republicans, which they obviously understandably despised,
but they're frustrated the Democrats also not doing anything to stop the Republicans.
Anyway, the Democratic Party doesn't do the same. In 2024, they were saying the economy
is fine for a lot of people it was, but there were a lot of people who were seeing their
prices go up and were struggling, and the stock market doing well didn't mean anything.
I don't agree with everything Bernie says or everything Mum Donnie says, but they're
similar to Trump in that if they come into office, I know they're going to do something.
It might not be what you want, but you see action being taken and the Democrats are not
like that by and large. Oh, this guy's not even a fucking Mamdana stand supporter. He's
not even a fucking Bernie Krat guy. And even he recognizes we need change. We need change.
We need to move in the, in the appropriate direction. Not none of this like, none of
this like marginal, uh, uh, business as usual politics, this fucking, uh, day late dollar
short politics that we've seen from the fucking Democratic party.
Is there anybody else you've seen in Democratic Canada figure who excites you?
I still don't agree with everything she's doing, but AOC is a well-known name and seems
to be fighting against Trump.
Mickey Sherrill is one governor, Gavin Newsom and JB Pritzker, they're speaking out strongly
against Trump.
Even people who are like, even people who are like, not socialist or anything like that
are just like I kind of want this I kind of want this because it's good it's good it's
actually helpful like I want them to do things I want them to do something anything please
for the love of Christ meanwhile what are people doing on the what are people doing
on the other side what are people doing on the establishment liberalism side I'm going
do a quick brief shout out. Do you trust that he would not nuke Israel? Let's bring back my favorite
anti-Semite destroyer, okay? Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, who talks very famously about the enmity
caused against Jews in Tsarist Russia. His speech is important to remember,
because it is prescient even now. It's something that I have brought forward many times over.
all of this enmity is a simple distraction. Anyway, there's a longer video on on Twitter if you want
to go and watch it, but it basically shows like my arguments against anti-Semitism over and over
again in regards to the fact that like establishment liberals, at least on the on this platform that
we're on spend a good deal of time talking about how devastating people like myself are.
And unfortunately, they're, they're, you know, they're, they're not invested in, in any sort
of serious change. What is this, this one? Yeah, I'm not going to play the whole clip.
I've played it too many times. So more proof that the normal libs are on your side with
stupid election discourse. We're going to show you, which is why I have a question, which is a
question I have directly for California Governor Gavin Newsom, which is if JD Vance is the vice
president, if JD Vance is the presidential nominee in 2028, would Gavin Newsom vote for
Hasan Piker? I want to know. I think firing lines want to know Gavin Newsom who next person, listen,
the next time a right wing pun. That's actually wait, that's actually a really interesting question
then sits down.
I think Promania is not like the biggest fan of what I said there, um, but, but I like
that question on Gavin Newsom's own podcast.
They should ask Gavin Newsom, would you vote for a samba?
I think that is the direction we need to, we need to take this because it was just stupid.
It's just been a stupid thing all weekend.
It was a, it was a hypothetical question asked on a podcast that was then clipped and then
spread around everywhere to enrage people. Like Hassan didn't clip it. I've had it
podcasted and clip it. It was a third party of people who don't like either of
them who clipped it. Did they go, oh, fuck you to everybody else. Did they make
everybody get enraged at each other so then everyone could have content to
talk about and then it gets thrown over into the streamer verse and then all
the streamers then clip it and then they all have something to talk about. This
way nobody has to talk about what's actually happening in the world which
which is that we are being run by a cabal of elite pedophiles.
I agree with this 100%, by the way.
Ginger Michael from Pennsylvania is correct.
And the people that clipped it would vote for JD Vance over you.
Yeah, that's the other side of this that is ironic.
The people that clipped it and spread it far and wide
aren't even real Democrats.
Many of them don't even live here.
They're all fucking Euro, they're Euroids in general.
And they just have a singular focus,
Hassan derangement syndrome, over and over again.
They have demonstrated that they don't actually give a fuck
about what's going on in American elections.
They just wanna act out the desires
of their fucking sex pest cult leader, Destiny, right?
They have literally said they would vote
for Jeffrey Epstein over someone like myself.
They've said that they would vote for Adolf Hitler
or even Donald Trump over someone like myself.
When you say stuff like that,
basically revealed that like, you're not a serious contender, you're not, you're not serious about
the moment that is ahead of us, right? All you care about is masquerading the personal animosity
that your favorite cult leader has towards me, and, and masquerading that as a, some kind of
serious political disagreement. And that's precisely the reason why you see this kind of
insanity over and over again. Remember, these are the people, these are the people that
were running around. These are the people that were fucking running around, having conversations
about how I am worse than Adolf Hitler for America.
I think Hassan is worse than Jeffrey Epstein.
That's what he showed you.
What?
Jeffrey Epstein.
That's what he showed you.
What is Jeffrey Epstein?
When you said, are you the fucking JD Vance?
Tell me, what is Jeffrey Epstein's policy platform?
Dude, you don't need to.
That's a fair question, isn't it?
Isn't that relevant to the analysis?
I don't know anything about Jeffrey Epstein's politics.
What do you push for a public option?
Is he a medicare for all kind of person?
I don't know anything about his politics.
The rea-
Yeah, you don't know anything about his politics other than the only thing Jeffrey Epstein is known for, which is being a fucking pedophile, bro.
Are you fucking joking?
Like, Jeffrey Epstein is known for one thing and one thing only.
Raping children.
And this motherfucker's like, yeah, that's good enough for me.
And he also loves Israel so I guess that those are the two things that you care about as far as who you're gonna fucking vote for
I would not necessarily disqualify Jeffrey Epstein
electorally
It's because first we would have to establish if he supports liberal democracy
Because the whole thing with Hassan is that he doesn't and I had people in my own chat last night that thought I was being ridiculous
I don't what how why am I being ridiculous when we're talking about Hassan piker?
dude you are
snap out of it
snap the fuck out of it dumbass the reason why even
people that are in the edge communities that would normally agree with your
sentiment are saying dude what the fuck are you saying
what we are watching
what we are watching right now unfold with evil northern lion
and all these other like adjacent orbiters of of sexpestiny
is this
is this moment where they are expressing how unserious they are about American politics.
I have long maintained the position.
I have long maintained the position that for these guys, they make it seem as though they're
giving you like a political take.
But all they're basically doing is using political disagreements as a way to just say Hassan
is bad, okay?
Hassan Derangement Syndrome.
I don't think Hutch is ever gonna snap out of it. I don't think destiny is ever gonna snap out of it
But like their audiences are finally coming to that recognition that it's like dude
Donald Trump is fucking kidnapping people and
Murdering American citizens that are trying to stop this kidnapping operation from taking place and every single fucking
Moment of the day for you is spent talking about how Hassan is awful Hassan is bad at least he's out in the fucking streets
You ain't doing shit
Do you trust that he would not nuke is real you trust that he would not help China invade
Taiwan?
I'm crazy for being worried about our fucking nation secrets.
If we gave power to Hassan, Hassan is an all powerful God, even as president, like they're
trying to walk him off this ledge, right?
They're trying to walk him off this ledge.
There's still plenty in this community going, I don't, he'd give that shit up for a shiny
new shock collar and piker like again it's all drama drama drama drama drama
drama drama even when he's being a fucking insane person even when he's
being an insane person okay there are still plenty of people that want to
keep up this like no no no you're doing the right thing method where they're
trying to fucking literally say like no his I will be far more devastating okay
Well, I have my candidates, you know, you can look at who I'm working with, right?
Who I'm working with within the Democratic Party and make that assessment for yourself.
Are these guys bad or do you like them?
Obviously, the one that we can directly point to is Zoran Kwame fucking Mum Donnie, right?
Do you like Zoran?
Okay.
Well, I guess you don't have that big of a disagreement with me after all, right?
I'm the crazy one who's like, uh, I don't know what's Jeffrey Epstein's policy position
when he, when he glorifies the current Chinese Communist party as like a model of govern
of government.
I'm the crazy one.
Somebody who idolizes Vladimir Lenin and I'm the fucking crazy one because I don't want
to fucking live on.
Yes.
They're an authoritarian leftist regime.
Yes.
All of this, like Hassan would give state seekers to China and shit like that is literally
The exact same shit that like Steven Crowder and them would say.
These guys don't realize that they've actively radicalized themselves into taking on positions that are identical to the biggest fucking reactionaries out there.
They don't realize it though because this is what happens when you are singularly focused on expressing the enmity that your favorite fucking sex pest has.
Like you're fighting his battles and you don't even fucking realize it.
Lenin is such an interesting sticking point for some reason. Yes, because these guys don't realize that they're completely trapped in this western focus in politics where it's like Lenin, Karl Marx, these are terrifying people.
They've killed, uh, quintrillions of, of, uh, individuals. They've killed so many people. They're so ruthless. They're such tyrants. They don't understand. It's like they only have, they only have a very like America good approach to the things.
Yeah, stock man says he would vote for JD Vance over you
For me personally he would send me to the gulag so I would vote for JD Vance
Over Hassan for me personally hold on
I'm starting to see Hassan's platform now
For most people it might be better to be under Hassan, but for me specifically I can't I'm not gonna vote for my oppressor
I this is like peeking into the other side where there's like
Like there's just like an insane, uh, insane approach.
Like they don't realize that I cover politics and these guys just cover me covering politics
in a fucking negative framework.
Hopefully a lot more people are waking up to that reality though.
Uh, Ogre Boys says, don't fuck McGee, it takes this opportunity to speak on doing politics
to talk about any guesses.
That's right.
Hasan amazingly seeing as how he watches more as on than I do.
He even fucks that assessment up, shocking.
Destiny, is it necessarily bad to have political commentators that don't want to be engaged in actual politics?
Yes, it is bad. Now when I say actual politics, I don't mean they're running for office or they're like directly affiliated with a candidate
I mean they're trying to get political power. Politics is about getting political power in your political system, right?
Or influencing political power in your political system. So in a democracy
You want to be able to exit influence over lawmakers, over the president, over cabinet-level
officials, over executive agencies, like this is like politics, political power.
And so somebody like Fuentes, ideally, would have a griper caucus in the House or the Senate.
The House would be amazing for Nick.
That would be like his ideal.
Somebody like Hassan, Hassan doesn't care about politics per se.
just like talks about it. And then I thought it was dangerous for America's future because
I do actually directly correspond with candidates and, you know, push for them to be elected.
He goes back and forth on this nonstop. It seems because like I thought the danger that
I represented to America was that I command a tremendous amount of fucking, uh, I, I command
a tremendous amount of, of political influence. I wield it, uh, dangerously. Now he's saying
I don't fucking care about politics. I guess it's just like, it's just about like whatever
in that immediate moment, whatever reactionary garbage you can just like toss out there.
I'm, the enemy is both strong and weak at the same time. Now, of course, that's a strange
thing to say about someone, especially like myself, I have candidates that are running
for Senate, Democrats running for Senate. I have candidates running for the mayor's office,
right? Zoram-Amdani was one of them. I have opinions about how local governance, state
governance should be run, and I'm trying to push for people to do it, both from my community
And also people that I use to get elected, use my community to get elected, right?
So what has destiny done on the other hand? Like,
nothing. He just fucking constantly is chirping about how I am a bad person. That's it. Like,
he spends basically every fucking waking moment just saying, you know, when he's not procuring
CSAM or not in a legal battle with his victims and undermining his victims and victim blaming
in general, all he does is just fucking talk about how much I suck dick.
It makes money off of it, but he doesn't care to actually influence any of it, when I try
to get anybody elected.
He doesn't want to wield any political power.
He just kind of wants to talk about stuff all day.
Now in and of itself, that wouldn't be a bad thing, but the issue is that these things
to a lot of people seem to overlap or they're hard to distinguish from one another.
So then you end up in a world where people on the left look to Hassan as like,
well is this guy speaking for Democrats?
And then people on the right can use Hassan as like an attack vector.
The only thing that his community has done,
as far as projecting political power,
was to get Richie Torres to send a congressional letter to Amazon to get me deplatformed.
the only fucking large, leftist, progressive, Democrat content creator, Democrat adjacent
content creator, to get banned five days out from the general election. That was it. They
sicked the ADL on my ass, they constantly try to get me de-platformed because they're super pro-Israel
for some fucking weird reason. And right before the election, that was their big moment.
him, and the other dipshit that I just showed you who said he would vote for JD Vance over
me because he thinks I would put him in a fucking gulag, have worked with senators like
Tom Cotton as a matter of fact to try to get me deplatformed. The only thing that these
guys have done, aside from revitalizing Nick Fuentes' career when he was deplatformed from
every fucking outlet possible, okay, and trying to fuck other white nationalists on top of
Nick Fuentes. The only thing that they've ever done is that. It's just pure spite. I hope people
can fucking wake up to the reality that this isn't real politics. Okay, this is just pure spite
being expressed as though it's a political disagreement. Hyper focusing on drama. Drama is
much easier to pay attention to. Drama among streamers is much easier to pay attention to
than the boring stuff, right?
I'm in Hudges community. He's been spiraling the last couple of months and conflating his
personal vendettas with being in a being a political position. Some of us even bring
Fred BLS data and he'll refute if it he'll refute it if it aligns with something you said the
vibes are not good over there at the moment. It's crazy. They think and what's really crazy
about it is if they had the fucking were with all to recognize where the political changes are
happening within the base of the party they would just shut the fuck up about constantly attacking
me and they would instead be like oh no we were there all along we want you know aoc's to run we
want uh zora mum donnie's to run of course we were there all along they would just lie to their
fucking audiences. But they don't, they don't do it. They don't do that because they're fucking stupid
and they're so personally invested in their own vendettas. Okay.
Hutt said you getting ratio on Twitter was a win. Yeah, I know. It's gonna be a real fucking shock
to all of these motherfuckers when the when the midterms come around, I think.
like this is this is the only politics they have which is to constantly tell their audience that I have no political
emotions or which who cares who cares if I have political motion or not like I'm irrelevant if I'm irrelevant and
I'm powerless then why the fuck do you talk about me all the time you know what I mean but the annoying thing is
that he's not playing the same game that conservatives or even center-left liberals
are because he doesn't care at the end of the day if any of his people get elected or if he's
able to influence any policy he just wants to talk about it that's it and the confusion of those
two things are are very detrimental I think. I just don't understand it for someone who's
obsessively obsessed with hating Hassan does he actually has no idea what Hassan stands for is
is he pretending? Huh? Instead of screaming, streaming literally almost every day. He could
go spend time with his kid. Should only talk politics of your buddies and power. It gives
you power and money, new vibe detected. It's just strange. If they, if they literally hear
his free ball. Okay. I know that these guys will never listen to what I have to say, but
the free ball here for you. Okay. Free advice is to shut the fuck up about me and start
talking about the issues themselves, without tying it back to me somehow, because the reality
of the matter is if you only talked about the issues, you would probably start developing
an audience that cares about the issues again. Okay? Didn't this guy care about a municipal
candidate getting elected? Said candidate turning his back on him after the allegations
came out and ended up doing 2% or something? Yes. The difference between me and Destiny
is that when destiny actually put his hat in the fucking ring in the electoral arena
and try to get a mayor elected in Nebraska, uh, in, in, I believe it was the Omaha mayoral
race, right? His candidate had to disavow destiny and his candidate got fucking 2% of
the election anyway. Okay. And it's so sad that he is like genuinely tried to say like
Soron did the same things, Soron did the same thing. It's like, first of all,
he disavowed the 9-11 statement. He didn't disavow me as evidenced by the fact that,
you know, we're still, I'm still working directly with the DSA to get his slate and his agenda
accomplished here. And not only that, but he fucking won.
He didn't mind a such blow up like the number one lip podcast. Pretty sure they don't spend hours
was a day talking about some bad. The problem is this guy's mentally ill. Exactly. That's
what I'm saying. And the reason why Midas touch the reason like Midas touch and the
the, the, the politics that they represent are different than mine. Okay. I am much more
radical than they are. I am much, much more radical than they are, but it doesn't matter
because they also understand that a big tent with candidates like AOC are what will make
the Democratic party viable. They love Zoran. They love AOC. They love Bernie Sanders. Okay.
They don't shy away from propping up establishment Democrats as well, but they don't spend every
fucking waking moment and make their political expressions simply Hassan, bad Hassan, bad
Hassan, bad, because they also understand, and I talked to these guys, right? I'm going
to talk to someone from Midas Touch, Adam Mochler, tomorrow.
The reason why I think there's a productive conversation to be had there is because regardless
of some of our policy disagreements, they ultimately want Republicans to fucking lose.
These guys don't operate like they want Republicans to lose.
They don't give a shit whether Republicans win or lose.
They only care about getting someone like myself de-platformed.
That we should respond to them as appropriate, call out their bad takes as appropriate,
but the obsession is something I understand.
The obsession is something I don't understand and why, as opposed to someone like Pierce
Morgan, as opposed to like Joe Rogan.
If you don't understand the obsession at this point.
Does Zoran actually really fuck with you still or not?
Does it seem negative towards you in that debate?
Brother, I talked to Zoran Mumdani privately all the fucking time.
Not that it fucking matters at the end of the day.
probably is not like his entire I think you guys don't understand like his
entire team is is people like you okay I work with his slate of candidates stop
being fucking parasocial I can't believe that this is like a like a genuine I
can't believe that this is also like a genuine point of convention this is what
I mean. And why, as opposed to someone like Pierce Morgan, as opposed to like Joe Rogan,
if you don't understand the obsession at this point, you're probably is not qualified to
have an opinion on anything. I don't think you should talk that we should respond to
them as appropriate. It's crazy that he also like recognizes that it's an obsession. Destiny
defending us on against Pisco's outrageous suggestion that Pierce Morgan and Joe Rogan
are much more appropriate objects of goon fixation, insist that failing to
psychosexually obsess over piker should in fact disqualify a person from having
an opinion on anything, to which I responded with not even hiding the
pathological obsession now that the remaining cult members are the most
diehard. I think that's what's going on here. What's going on here is that it's
like a fucking grudge, it's an obsession, and we're gonna move on to Zara
I'm downing right now, by the way, who has the Heaven's mandate, but basically what I
was saying is they think that the only way to cover poly is by hyperfixating on someone
like myself.
If I am irrelevant, then you shouldn't be talking about me that much.
If I am relevant because I work within the confines of the Democratic Party, then you
shouldn't be attacking me because, ultimately, we are supposed to be fighting the Republicans
together.
Problem is, you don't give a fuck about fighting Republicans.
You give a fuck about fighting an agenda against me.
The agenda that happens to be a pathological obsession
that you have.
Lucky for us, I think that more and more people
in his community, more and more people in his orbit
have started to realize that this isn't like real.
What you're talking about is just like drama-obsessed,
click-baity nonsense, okay?
Zoran Mamdani is issuing an ultimatum in an effort to close the city's massive budget
gap.
He's calling on New York Governor Kathy Hochul to raise taxes on the city's wealthiest people
or he'll have to increase property taxes by nearly 10%.
But that's not enough to balance.
Yeah.
Zoran Mamdani is officially moved on to playing hardball.
Well, I was initially critical of his move of endorsing Cathy Hockel before the New York
Democrats did and doing it alongside AOC and coming out of the gates swinging with a Cathy
Hockel endorsement rather than weight and have proper leverage against her, right?
He got this endorsement.
Now what's really interesting about this endorsement, and this calculated posture that he has is
that the endorsement actually yielded a concession from Kathy Hockel immediately in the form
of $1.5 billion to play, to basically help with the budget shortfall that the previous
administration had presented, right? A lot of corruption from the Adams administration,
and Zoran is doing full blown transparency, okay? But it didn't end there. There was a
back and forth on whether or not Zoran was the guy that was actually going to continue
pushing Kathy Hockel in the right direction because one of his major agenda items is obviously
increasing the taxes on the super wealthy in the city of New York, right?
And you can't really do that without Albany, the state of New York, controlled both by the
state assembly members, but also by the state legislature and the city assembly members,
the state legislature, but more importantly, also by Governor Kathy Hockel, right?
The major reasons as to why he's doing this obviously is through sewer socialism, shouts
out Michael from Pennsylvania loves talking about this obviously, to give him his flowers,
to show that if you are a socialist elected, you will accomplish the promises that you
made, and that as a movement guy, as a movement leader, no matter how small a role you think
you may play in the mayoral seat is a very powerful one, especially in New York City,
that you will show nationally to every Democratic Party voter that is paying attention,
both in the city of New York, but also beyond, that a socialist elected means a person who
was serious about making the necessary changes that will improve the material conditions of the working class.
Now, he obviously has a lot of pressure.
I'm from a 16-hour-old girl describing how Trump drugged and raped her.
The text below can be found on page 16 next to a magazine cut out of Ivana Trump.
The text just reads, does this lady know that you can't have dignity if you've been with him?
I know I have none, only Skittles.
Jesus Christ, yeah, oh yeah, TTS is back too.
Yeah, dude, we're doing crazy. We're doing crazy stuff out here. We got the soundboard
and we got to the S make that last statement of sound by we need to be able to repose that
socials will make the true promises when they get elected. Sure. Okay. Now the, the, the
struggle continues, right? He has a lot of pressure. He has pressure from all of the
same like corporate entities and corporate interests in New York City is
pressure from the police and he also has pressure from Albany with Kathy Hockel
who is obviously not going to comply with everything that he's demanding but
the question was for many people whether or not Zoran was actually invested in
this fight and this fight to tax the wealthy because he said he wasn't gonna
go to he said he wasn't gonna go to the to the protest that's taking place in
Albany against Kathy Hockel to put public pressure against the governor to make sure
that the governor advances this agenda item.
Chat tip $6.90 far.
Yeah, there you go.
All right.
And there was actually a really interesting take from Peter Stern, who initially addressed,
where is it, where the fuck is it?
Does anyone have the link to the original take that Peter Stern had when like Zoran said
that he wasn't going to go to Albany and support the protests against Kathy Huckle?
This caused people to think, this caused people to think maybe Zoran is not invested
in this fight at all, okay?
It invoked, it invoked, uh, understandable scrutiny, okay, towards what he was trying
to do.
But then he very quickly came out, got some promises, uh, in terms of, uh, uh, 1, 1.5
billion, 1.5 billion dollars from Kathy Hockel's office.
Hello.
Oh
What is happening? Hello, sorry hi a break what?
Not there hi get out of there
Move move out of there little lady with your big butt
No
No, oh my god, what do I do? What do I do here?
She's still mad about the fighter incident she does not care about the spider at all
Okay, I don't know why not all of the the TTS is working
Okay, big rough she's a lap dog. I can't her bed is dirty as fuck. No, that's just a light shining off
as I was saying as I was saying as I was saying initially salt hat suit to $5. What's up Chad?
It's the top of the hour and you know what that means. It's at break time. Jesus Christ. Okay.
Okay. Okay. Guys, subscribe instead of donating. Okay.
Okay, time in tip five dollars. When mom finds the proof, suck her either way, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he.
Okay, you're gonna make me turn off TTS. You're gonna make me turn off TTS instantly. Okay.
Nothing will get me to turn off, nothing will get me to turn off the sound board, but I will turn off TTS.
the books. In addition, he says he'll also have to pull millions from the city's rainy
day fund and from retiree benefits. It is a path that Bumdani says he does not want
to go down.
And if we do not go down the first path, the city will be forced down a second more harmful
path.
Yeah. There's obviously a couple of options here, right, at play. Either Kathy Huckle
raises taxes on the wealthy, or he tries to basically force the hand of Julie Menin, okay,
to use the city, use the city to increase property taxes, okay?
Or austerity. Now, austerity is unacceptable. It's not going to happen, right? He is not going
to do austerity. He said he's not going to do austerity at all. So that's completely that's
gone from the equation. New statement from the council speaker Julie Minnan on Mum Donnie's budget
proposal came out as well. We're going to be covering all that but here let's do this.
The options of the second path are the options of last report. I'm turning off TTS. Options that we
will only employ if there's no other means of arriving at a balanced budget. So I guess he's
He's asking, what's a 2% tax increase on a multimillionaire?
If you're already the highest tax jurisdiction in America, it's a massive tax.
You know, what I love about this guy, and I'm giving him credit, he goes big.
He goes big, and he's got a fantastic social media team, this is great.
This is bat poopoo crazy what he's proposing.
And probably sometime next year, within 12 to 18 months, I will meet him in Miami and
give him real estate award because I'm not happy with what's happening I can't
get across the bridge anymore I live in Miami Beach everybody from New York and
New Jersey and Massachusetts is moving into my neighborhood I'm pissed off and
this guy's just doing more of it what he's proposing is beyond insane but I love
it I'm count listen you guys live here you're not paying your fair share I don't
You've got to pay 110% that's the right thing to do because he's not coming
I found this very interesting charts some data for you Kevin. Thank you. The last
time there was a tax hike on the wealthy as this is in 2021. Take a look at this
chart. You see what's going on there. The number of people making more than
$200,000 in the city increased. The number of people making between 200,000
and a million dollars increased.
Everybody who makes a lot of money,
there were more of them in New York City.
So the idea that they were talking about.
Why not increase taxes by 102% if it's so good?
Look, let's go.
So what's interesting about this, of course,
is like I said, he is forcing the hand
of the governor's office, right?
this is very real pressure
because the city does not want to raise property taxes at all
especially because if property taxes are raised
obviously landlords are going to turn around and increase the price of rent
it's going to make housing more unaffordable it's going to be a burden on
working class individuals in as which he openly states by the way
in his long
in this long uh... uh... response video that he crafted he's like uh... town hall
that he did
where he basically said, you know, we are forced to raid it.
We're forced to raid the raided, raided a fund, the retiree health benefits,
trust reserve and to increase property taxes. Okay.
What is this? You dumb socialist.
I bet you want to tax millionaires of some absurd percentage like 90%.
That would never work and has never been done,
but you wouldn't know that because you're a dumb socialist. Exactly.
Um, that person is joking. Obviously the highest tax bracket was 90%. Um, the highest
marginal tax are with 90% back in the day. Um, for those of you who don't know humor
and jokes, but basically he's explained that what will happen if Kathy Hockel refused
to raise tax on the rich. She's the one who has the ability to stop this, which is why
he's been transparent.
So people can ask her to pass the wealth tax, which she refuses to do. He can't fulfill
those promises if she's not cooperative. Also, without the mess Adams made, none of this
would be even happening. Blame the guy who's been in office for less than two months. That's
what's going on here, okay?
One of the techniques here that I think is very intelligent is pitting two of these different
forces together.
In order to develop more public pressure, Zoramumdani is being as transparent as possible.
He doesn't have the power to do this wealth tax because he's the mayor.
But as the mayor, he has the power to put pressure on Cathy Hockel, and he also has
the power to pursue different kinds of taxes at the city level.
One of the things that he has the power to do, as the power to pursue is trying to raise
the property taxes.
He doesn't want to raise the property taxes.
So because that's a objectively unpopular position, and it will have negative pressure
on working class New Yorkers, something that he's very aware of.
She is tactically saying, if you don't actually do this well tax, which is very popular, then
we will be forced to either A, raise the property taxes, which is very unpopular, and we'll
force the New York Assembly to do something that many people don't want to do, especially
because legally, the New York budget has to be balanced.
So it's going to happen no matter what.
And because austerity is not an option, understandably, austerity is not an option at all, he's basically
saying these are the options that we have.
Someone's going to get taxed.
It's up to you to either tax the middle class and working class individuals by way of raising
the property taxes and then having landlords fucking raise the rent and ruin affordability
or you tax the super wealthy.
It's very simple.
you tax 33% New Yorkers, or not 33% New Yorkers, sorry, either you tax 33,000 New Yorkers who
are some of the wealthiest individuals in the country and the wealthiest individuals
in the city of New York, or we increase the cost of living for 5 million New Yorkers,
Okay? Either 33,000 people pay a little bit more, a modest increase in taxes, or 5 million
New Yorkers get punished in the process. That's it. It's a brilliant way to apply pressure
to Kathy Hockel, especially because he has to balance the budget no matter what.
Actually, the thing is Zoram played ball pretty well here, endorsed Hockel, and then turned
around and was like, okay, now you hold up my endorsement, yeah.
Not only did he get, through his early endorsement, an immediate 1.5, Hassan, New York has 19,
total million people, downstate is almost 9 million.
Yeah, $33,000 is modest amount. $33,000 of the most wealthy New Yorkers paying a little bit more in taxes. I mean, that's crazy.
What does austerity mean? It means belt tightening. It means like cutting social expenditure. Now, of course,
you can't really do austerity in New York City regardless because on the one hand, you have
You have the New York Post and all these other people yelling as Zoran for what the sanitation in New York is doing.
Well, someone's got to pay the fucking people to plow the snow, right?
So you can't, on the one hand, demand austerity and on the other hand say, who's going to plow the fucking snow?
You're not plowing the fucking snow.
Is that simple?
Mamdani says if Governor Kathy Hockel rejects the state legislature's proposed tax increases on the rich,
he'll have to balance the budget on the backs of working people using the only tools at the city's disposal.
So it's either austerity, which is a non-starter, or hiking property taxes, which will still hurt most New Yorkers.
Zoran came out of the gay swing and said today I'm releasing the city's preliminary budget
after years of fiscal mismanagement we're staring at a 5.4 billion budget gap and two
paths.
One, Albany can raise taxes on the ultra-wealthy and the most profitable corporations and address
the fiscal imbalance between our city and the state.
The other, a last resort balanced the budget on the backs of working people using the only
tools at the city's disposal.
The first path matches a structural crisis with a sustainable and fair solution.
I know where I stand.
New Yorkers voted for bold change and competent leadership.
We will deliver both, and we look forward to partnering with Albany to protect working
New Yorkers.
Still taking a conciliatory tone.
freeze rent though or is he not talking about that to keep leverage wait what no no no freezing
the rent stuff is a totally separate conversation and that's already moving in a positive direction
as well i'm going to talk about that in a second he got a massive fucking uh boost on that agenda
as well this is something entirely different this is the other agenda item the other agenda item
was specifically around uh balancing the budget and also raising tax for the wealthy uh in an
effort to balance the budget. Okay. Adam is praying for you. What is this? Praying this
is an opportunity for growth. Okay, stop. Yes, he has potentially five new slots, five new
appointees on the rent board. So that's huge as well. Okay. Yeah, but why wouldn't they
throw it on the back of working people. Wouldn't they blame Zoran for that? It's not going to
happen because here's the other side of it. A new statement from Council Speaker Julie
Menin who was elected that position, appointed that position because of her hatred for Zoran
for the record. New statement from Council Speaker Julie Menin on Bombani's budget.
The option of raising property tax and dipping into reserves is a non-starter, but doesn't
look like she's endorsing Mamdani's alternative pitch to raise taxes on the wealthy.
This again, he's basically pinning two establishment Democrats, two establishment democratic planks
against one another.
Do you understand?
He legally has to balance the budget and he has laid it out.
He said, we got to balance the budget.
It's literally something I legally have to do and the ballot and the budget has a massive
$5 billion report.
No, Kaya, Kaya, no, you can't stand right underneath me.
That's crazy.
That's crazy lady.
Same rate.
Okay.
Down.
Down.
No, not so quick.
Right there.
Right there.
Right there.
Right there.
Right there.
Right there.
Right there.
Right there.
Right there.
Right there.
Right there.
Let her know I can't I don't want to step on her chat. Okay. Yeah, she came over here.
Give her the soundboard. Yeah, I just gave her the shock. She wants to be close to you
amount I know I love I love my daughter okay but what you have to understand is
no matter how much I love my daughter I don't want to accidentally roll over her
tail or one of her fat rolls with my wheels okay no don't even
It's a lot of our dreams for you to step on us. That's crazy.
So once that there's a fourth option, he could invade New Jersey and raid their coffers.
He could invade and arrest the mayor of Jersey City and take all their tax money. Yeah.
raid the coffers of Jersey city. It is time. Okay. So, uh, speaker, council speaker, Julie
Minnan, who is an op at the city level, okay, comes out with mom Donnie's, uh, comes out
with a, with a retort against mom Donnie's budget proposal and says, the mayor's preliminary
budget marks the beginning of a critical conversation about how we safeguard New York City's fiscal
future while protecting New Yorkers at a time when New Yorkers are already grappling with
an affordability crisis dipping into the rainy day reserves and proposing significant property
tax increases should not be on the table whatsoever.
There's only two other times when they've rated the city's rainy day reserves, which
are, you know, at times during COVID and Michael Bloomberg, I believe, during the financial
crisis that took place in 2007-2008.
And then the other time was Bill de Blasio during COVID, right?
So obviously, it's like, you know, it's a, it's a last resort.
So it doesn't have to become a last resort, right?
At a time when New Yorkers are already grappling with an affordability crisis, depending on
the rainy days, there's some proposing significant property tax increases should not be on the
table whatsoever.
The council believes there are additional areas of savings of revenue that deserve careful
scrutiny before increasing the burden on small property owners and neighborhood small businesses,
which could worsen the affordability crisis.
The council will release its own projections ahead of preliminary budget hearings and will
conduct a thorough review of the administration's financial projections.
Our goal is to deliver a balanced budget that protects essential services, addresses the
affordability crisis, and reflects shared fiscal responsibility.
What you have to remember here, by the way, is that they want to do austerity.
That's not going to fucking happen.
They want to cut expenditures, and they certainly don't want to cut the $6 billion
$6.4 billion police budget, by the way. They want to cut the budget for sanitation. They
want to cut the budget for libraries. They want to cut the budget for the things that
the city offers to all of its citizens unconditionally, all of its constituents unconditionally.
Zoran is not going to let that happen. InshaAllah, he's not going to let that happen. That's
the reason why he's playing hardball here and I fully fucking support it. Okay. It's
It's brilliant. It's tactical. It makes me reconsider my initial scrutiny and skepticism.
Okay, I'm glad that he's actually taking the lead here and he's actually applying the
public pressure in the ways that he's doing. I fully support this move.
Don't get mad at me. I'm excited about it. I love it.
I'm just asking you, because I want you to pay not me.
I'm asking you, is there really proof of the brain drain that I say it's a money drain?
It's a money drain in the late 60s, it's called that.
You had to let the man cook.
Sorry, guys.
I'm going to be a fucking doubter when it's necessary.
Okay.
I'm not going to sit there and be a regime loyalist and praise dear leader.
If he does something that I am skeptical of, I have to tell you the truth, even if I personally
like the guy.
Okay.
personally like this guy. You know this, it's not a fucking secret, okay?
And I am fairly considerate and very open about my thought process with politicians
that are closest to me, ideologically, politicians that I talk to in person. I'm still going
to tell you what my criticisms are when they arise, I have to call balls or strikes, okay?
I promise you that I'm never going to be a person that is a regime loyalist unless that
regime is doing things that require this loyalty, okay?
That's it.
That's the difference between someone like myself and someone like MSNBC or someone like
Fox News. Everyone has a role to play here, but even when it comes to someone who is objectively
the closest politician that I have ever seen, at least with his representation of his own
personal ideology with what he's done, both in the past and what he says he was going to do,
I am still going to be critical. That, I promise to you, no matter what happens,
I am accountable to no one but you guys okay the piker broadcasting service is sponsored by you the people for you the people
Does this put his prior moves into a new perspective or as well or strictly his endorsement with Kathy a little bit? Yes
This was a really good move, okay, I think this was a really smart move I really liked it
I think this applies pressure as as obvious pressure as you possibly could apply to Kathy Hochle.
Of course, City Council Speaker Julie Minnan won't consider Mamdani's proposal to raise property
taxes if Hochle refraises the tax the rich. Instead, she went on a conservative radio show to say the
city needs to spend less on retirees health care benefits. That is a fucking non-starter.
Okay? That is obviously a fucking non-starter and she is going to get fucking destroyed because
especially at the city level, a city council speaker has a level of accountability to their
constituents that the governor doesn't, right? Like it's much harder to apply pressure to the
governor's office than it is to the city council speaker. Okay, that's a that's a
easier hurdle to clear for Zoram Omdani.
That's it. So when she stands at odds with the needs of some of the most
important constituents from especially an election perspective, it's going to be
much easier to turn the fucking pressure on someone like her. Because remember,
This is the New York Democrat, uh, the New York Democrats rat fucking Zoran by
appointing, uh, Julie Menon to the speaker's position.
This is where politics gets ruthless.
It's where politics gets conniving.
This is where politics gets annoying and boring for most people.
Obviously we pay close attention to it because of, uh, the, the ideological
nature of Zoran Mamdani, what he represents as a movement.
So it's good to keep a close eye on this stuff, especially when the local papers are actively
misrepresenting what Zara Mamdani is advocating for.
He's going to need allies on his side in the media side of things.
Okay, New York Post straight up came out and was like, Zara wants to do property tax.
He fucking sucks. He fucking sucks. They did not.
They did not actually cover transparently what he was doing.
So someone's got to do it. So it's up to people like ourselves to correct the record
Why are there more multi millionaires in New York now than the last time they
46 years and there is no doubt that that we are seeing an exodus of
of very, very wealthy people, billionaires, from California and from New York into South
Florida. In Florida there are no state taxes. Every day I open up the news and there's a
new real estate record that has been broken in home sales because Larry Page is moving
down and he just bought a place for a hundred and some million dollars. Zuckerberg is moving
down. So the bottom line is this, when you put out a high...
the real people, the only people that matter, people who purchase hundreds of millions of
dollars of real estate.
Yeah, the whole point of class warfare and what Zora Mamdani and many others in the Democratic
Party are representing now is to stop the fucking bleeding for the working class.
Who gives a fuck about Larry Page?
Larry Page just suck my dick.
It's ridiculous. It's fucking ridiculous. Like she's saying the quiet part out loud and in the bar was literally like, oh, isn't it wonderful that Florida is now a fucking safe haven for Jeffrey Epstein affiliates as though it wasn't in the past.
I mean, obviously, that's why they're his base of operations there to begin with.
Fuck those people. What the fuck do you mean on taxes on just a very wealthy.
You run the risk of those very wealthy not paying it because they will find a way to have a loophole
Oh, okay, so they're always gonna fucking scar the system. So we mustn't even try to tax them again
This kind of defeatist mentality in the past could have been packaged as
As someone who is leading through fear, right someone who is actually fearful
I think we all know now especially with the opportunity that people like Zoran present
that this isn't leading through fear. Okay, this isn't like a reactionary perspective that revolves around being fearful that the super wealthy are keeping the economy hostage.
This is by design. You're not being pragmatic at all. You're actually dick-writing billionaires into fucking oblivion. You only serve their interests.
That is the position that you play on this panel.
Look at Abbey's face.
That's it. It's very obvious. I mean, and of course, Kevin O'Leary is already a super
wealthy person, regardless. But Anna Navarro is playing this role of like, no, no, no,
you don't understand, you have to listen to me. I'm a former Republican.
Those taxes, even if it means moving to Indian Creek and living in Billionaires bunker, they
can afford to do so. The people who have to live in New York to work may not be able to
afford to do that but if you've got your private plane and you've got the ability to
we're talking about people who make more than a million dollars a year it's not
exactly I mean maybe in New York it's that's what the proposal is people who
make more than a million dollars a year it's a very it's a very specific group
of people and I'm not listen I'm just asking realistically are we really gonna
see what you're claiming we're gonna see and yeah there are we're seeing it
There are tons of wealthy people moving from all over the world.
It's bullshit. It's bullshit.
Wealthy people are not going to escape New York.
You want to know why? Because they're in New York to begin with.
Okay?
New York already has a higher tax burden on wealthy people.
It's that simple. So why are they in fucking New York?
Why are they not in Florida already?
It's bullshit.
Wealth flight is a lie that the wealthy people constantly present.
It is bullshit. Here's a Forbes writer on the capital flight myth.
Billionaire flight is rare, exaggerated, and often confused with paper avoidance or account maneuvering, not physical relocation.
California's proposed billionaire wealth tax account, uh, tax act could raise a hundred billion dollars even after accounting for avoidance.
Good tax design beats fear-based forecasting every time.
The wealth flight narrative survives because it sounds intuitive, not because it's true.
The research actually shows, one, wealth tax moves paper, the dominant response is accounting
maneuvering. Two, the wealthy are less mobile than publicly suggested. And three, revenue
gained exceeds revenue lost from those who leave. The real risk to wealth tax revenue
isn't migration, it's design. California has no estate or inheritance tax, allowing vast
fortunes to escape taxation, state taxation for decades. When policymakers mistake avoidance
for exit, they misdesign taxes and leave billions on the table.
Well flight is just a threat, it's a threat that is unrealized, it is completely fucking
made up and there are also additional safeguards against this kind of maneuvering anyway. Slap
a fucking fat exit tax and watch the billionaire stay in the state, okay? We have to start
calling these guys bluffs out because the reality of the matter is you can extend this argument
all the time to taxing the wealthy, which is one of the most popular f**king positions
in the United States of America. It transcends political boundaries. It transcends politics.
It transcends the political duopoly. There is a consensus amongst the base. Amongst the base.
They want wealth, the super wealthy to pay their fair share in taxes. Okay?
It's bullshit. We should tax you to fuck. Yeah, fuck. Yeah, you should tax me bitch
I pay the fucking highest percentage in taxes in the goddamn country
My income is pure income coming from you the viewers in the form of a fucking 1099 you understand that so I'm already getting pure income
And I'm paying all of it back I
Pay a higher share. I pay the highest share in taxes in the United States of America far higher of a real
effective tax rate, then the average billionaire or the average millionaire pays, because of the way that my income works, okay?
If the average billionaire or the average millionaire, the average small business owner, average big business owner actually paid my percentage of taxes,
the American tax coffers would be fucking filled to the goddamn brim, okay?
Okay. I pay the same real percentage taxes at the end of the fucking year that the average
worker does. Okay. It's unheard of for someone in my position. It's unheard of for someone
at my fucking tax bracket. Most people look at me like I'm a psycho for that reason. Not
only do I live in the state of California, I live in Los Angeles. And on top of that,
i don't actually fucking
i don't actually uh... shelter my assets are fucking dump it into the
stock market anything like that
is just pure income
and it's ironic because you're saying this to defend fucking billionaires
it's so stupid
and i still say yeah there's more room to grow
in in terms of taxing someone like myself
what percentage I don't know what the real what the real percentages but it's
something over it's literally fucking it comes down to almost like 50%
oh yeah
oh baby you got closer
it's over 50%
Dog, the way this should be framed is this, Trump has the balls not only to tax the entire
country with tears but brag about it daily.
With that as the baseline, we should be able to sell tax in the region, might go in crazy.
Yeah.
Anyway, the worst problem is, at least from where I'm standing, I don't mind paying these
taxes, because at least some of that still goes back to the teacher, some of that goes
back to the rose, some of that goes back to the infrastructure.
I want all of it to go back to the state of California to helping these groups.
I want all of it to go to initiatives that help the working class and not to like Israel
or the military industrial complex or to major businesses.
They get these tax breaks that basically are subsidies at the end of the day.
There's no reason for fucking Palantir to avoid taxes every goddamn year, okay?
It's ridiculous.
Bullshit.
Yeah, I pay a...
You know what's shocking?
When I talk about this stuff with my French friends, for example, they're shocked.
There is this false notion, there's this false understanding that in the United States of
America, the effective tax rate at the end of the year is actually super low.
That's not real.
That's not the case at all.
For someone like myself living in California, I pay a higher effective tax rate, a higher
effective tax rate than the average wealthy French person does.
shocked by it. And the reason why they're shocked by it is because of one, the false notion that
America is a tax shelter. Obviously, it could be a tax shelter if I, I don't know,
incorporated in fucking Delaware or some shit, right?
Well, the other reason why they're shocked by it,
because there are plenty of tax loopholes that I could take advantage of, especially at my current
level of wealth. I simply do not do that. But the other reason why they're shocked by it is because
there's nothing that we get in return for those taxes.
There is a tremendous amount of homeless people in the streets. The streets, the infrastructure is
dog shit. There's no adequate public transit. There's no health care. Education is underwater.
There's nothing to show for. That's the reason why they're shocked by it.
They can't comprehend it. They're like, what the fuck are you paying taxes for? And that's a
very real question that a lot of people have, because the American tax policy creates instability.
It goes against social cohesion. We don't have the mentality of the super wealthy giving back
uh, in exchange for the, the, uh, wealth that they've accrued off the backs of the American
working class, partially because everyone has the understanding that, oh yeah, you're
paying these taxes and then where's it going to build a fucking stadium? You're just basically
subsidizing the super, super wealthy. Why the fuck should I pay taxes? Of course I'm
gonna cheat. Of course I'm going to, uh, of course I'm gonna do everything in my power
to fucking engage in tax avoidance.
Ask the average European, you know, middle-wealth guy, right?
The average European millionaire, why they pay the taxes that they do, and there is infinitely
more social cohesion.
Not to say that these are good guys in general, they're still fucking capital owners, but
the reality of the matter is, they have this understanding that the taxes are going to
use, like to good use. There are plenty of people who are higher earners on average,
you know, part of the professional managerial class, part of the, you know, small business
contingency, that somewhat recognize at least even after two decades of austerity in European
capitals, that like the money is still going back to good programs, the things that, you
know, help boost the prosperity of the people. That's where that real cohesion comes from.
Republicans are too stupid and too racist to recognize it. They think, oh, it's because
these guys are homogenous societies. No, it's because there is a mutual understanding, at
least for the time being, that the government is supposed to work for the interests of the
common good. Okay. That's changing, especially with, with decades and decades of austerity
and more opportunities for the private enterprise to come in and take advantage of this, take
advantage of the shittier government services to say, oh, we can provide a better service
and then, you know, make money that way. But that real cohesion comes from an established
understanding that at least at a base level, okay, there is a mutual understanding that
the government is supposed to work at the behest of the common good for prosperity for
all, okay?
What is this?
you wipe down? What does that mean? What is he wiping now? I don't even know what that
means. Yes, rich people benefit from roads and education, educated workers, they use
that have to live and drive to their workplaces to make them profits. Exactly. Rich people
and small businesses benefit from having social safety net, so they don't have to fucking pay for it themselves, okay?
That's how this stuff works. Anyway,
but yeah, we're we're now at a position where Zoran is is forcing the hand of Kathy Hockel or possibly Menin
to do the right thing for the country to Florida and Texas
The person making a million dollars a year, which in New York is not as much as it sounds in other places, so the person making 50 million dollars a year.
Exactly. So people making 50 million dollars a year are moving, but many other people who are making much less than that, but still much more than middle class people are probably not moving.
I feel like husbands and wives, school, teacher, nurse, um, they're moving to South Carolina
and North Carolina. They're trying to get away from the over burdensome tax code in
New York. And when you see Mandani, they're not getting away from the over burdensome
tax code dumbass. They're getting away because New York is fucking unaffordable, which is
precisely why Zoran won because he literally openly called it out. That's, it's crazy to
look at the symptom of a problem and demand more of that same. It's crazy to look at the
symptom of a problem and then demand more of the problem that caused it. Okay. This
is how reactionaries always fucking operate. Also, this guy's name is John tobacco. This
is a ridiculous person. I mean, he, I'm sorry, he looks ridiculous. He sounds fucking ridiculous.
This is like, if you were to, if I were to present a guy named John tobacco wearing like
a joke of villain style outfit over who's the city cop trolos gonna save save the
the interest of the wealthy you'd be like come on dude like really really we're
doing fucking afraid of phobia this hard this early like can you be serious for a
moment
you'd be telling me I'm out of my mind
Meanwhile, this cartoon character is a real person apparently.
Hey, I'm Big Tobacco, I'm John Tobacco.
Hey, how you doin' fuck you, alright?
I'm gonna work my ass off to make sure with my spray painted on head that I'm gonna be
saving the interest of the wealthy over here.
Fuck you.
The wealthy, the being taxed, fought too much.
We gotta put an end to that over here.
Get the fuck outta here.
How you doin'?
fuck you. I'm John tobacco. You know, newsbreak to everyone here. Mondani cannot raise taxes.
Okay. And Kathy Huckle is up for reelection this year. So there's no possible way that
you will allow him to raise taxes this year because you fucking doing busting my fucking
balls over here. I don't know where fuck you. My daddy, my daddy can't fucking raise the
fucking taxes. You won't get reelected. So yeah, founder of a crypto business to fucking
awesome. A lot of this is kind of smoke and mirrors and you know it shouldn't come as no
surprise to anyone that he wants to take from the rich and give to the poor. He said in his campaign
white people have been controlling the levers of capitalism for too long and we need to transfer
that to brown people. He can't raise income tax but he can raise property tax and the municipality
Yeah, he does. He does have that fucking power. He's not gonna do it though. How dare yous?
How dare yous fucking suggest raising it? Property fucking taxes. What kind of garbage
gold bull shit is this? Hey, hey, I'm talking here. Get the fuck out of here and in the VARO.
Oh my god, if he fucking does that I'm gonna have on I'm gonna puff. I'm gonna lose my fucking mind
He explicitly said he's asking Albany to raise taxes on people making over
Well, yes, it is surprising to actually hear you say it but this is what he ran on he talked about what he was gonna do
I feel like why not why not cuz he's doing exactly what this president is doing
He's leading and he's doing it by any means necessary whatever he says. He's leading with this boldness like I'll try this
Let's see what happens. I mean like why the hell not let me just go right here and see what happens
I think it's really clear that he doesn't want to raise property taxes
He wants to do everything you can to make sure he doesn't want to he wants to increase taxes on the richest people in the biggest
Corporations, but he needs Albany to do that and he's the governor to do that
And like you said, she's not gonna do that in election year. So I think that's pretty valid
But I think this idea that people are all going to
Here's the thing my guess is the people buying houses in millionaire row in Florida are not also giving up their apartments in New York
They're just changing where they live
little loophole for the very, very richest to say I live in a different state. But then
they're going to come back to New York, because New York is still New York.
Let's put a fastest ban on the rich from New York. I love it.
But hold on.
Not 180, but no days in New York, no wealthy people in New York. I love this.
Hold on.
Hold on.
John made a very important point. Zoran Mamdani ran on this, okay?
I love it.
He ran on it. The people voted him in. He beat out all the other Democratic candidates.
through Kathy Hockel, who you're claiming won't back this, a lifeline by supporting her in
her primary.
I think it feels like you guys have the politics of this backwards, okay?
She is the one who needs him.
But I'm not necessarily meant through the lifeline to the incoming governor, is what
you're saying?
He through her the lifeline.
I mean, I don't know if you know this, John Tobacco, but Zora Mamdani as it stands is
the most popular politician in the United States of America, and is not even a nationally
renowned politician now, but an internationally known one. So, sucks to suck, but cats out
of the fucking bag over here! Yeah!
Cathy Ogle needs Zora Mamdani for her political career, more than vice versa, more than the
the reversal of that position now, okay?
He is one of all the New York politicians.
He didn't even get more than half of the New York politicians.
He's the most popular.
Correct.
That's right.
He is the most popular.
So I know that it's not an easy thing to understand,
But I think Mamdani has shifted the politics in the city and I think it's a really it's a real question
That if the voters who voted him in to raise taxes on rich people don't want him to actually do that
But what happens if he doesn't deliver by chance? Maybe he doesn't deliver
I still can't get on a free bus yet, and I'm pissed my hotel
box for coffee. I'll get on the bus. The bus is free. You yourself get on the bus. Is that what you're saying?
I want a free hotel. I want a free bus. It'll be two percent more.
I want to stop from here. I want to stop.
This is not all about you. The catch 20.
Why does Armand not even have to make the busses price and free in the first day in office?
Truth, you're in New York is that there's a balanced budget law, right?
And so they can't be like the federal government and spend more than what they had
If he promised nothing chicks for free, yes or no chicks for free
That free bus is gonna cost
That was incredibly shocking, at least on Abby Phillips' performance.
Loki's Loki back.
Like Abby Phillips is cooking on that.
I was not expecting the CNN host to be cooking
so goddamn hard on that.
Respect.
I was wondering about who she is facing
in front of a challenge.
We need a long respect by three standards.
Can you comment on that Prime Minister coming up?
Just a couple weeks in the future.
I strongly support the Congresswoman,
as is the case with the Congressional Black Caucus
and many of her colleagues that have served with Vow
for the last several years.
She's a tremendous member of Congress, very thoughtful,
very studious, very serious, and very forceful
in advocating on behalf of her constituents
and pushing back against Donald Trump's extremism.
For us in the House, primaries are a way of life.
That's just the reality.
The Framers decided that the house would
be the institution that is closest to the American people,
to reflect the hopes, the dreams, the aspirations,
the fears, the concerns, the anxieties, the life experiences,
and in the words of the Framers, the passions of the people.
And one of the ways in which they effectuated that dynamic
is to give the house a two-year term.
And so every two years we have to go back to the people to make an argument to persuade
them to renew our two-year employment contract.
That's just a way of life.
It must be nice to have a six-year term, but we don't have that luxury.
And so that's going to mean in many tricks across the country that there will be active
primaries.
And we embrace that as a reality of what the House is supposed to represent.
But at the same period of time, I stand behind every single one of my Democratic colleagues.
From the most progressive representative, Ocasio-Cortez, to the more centrist ones like Tom Swazi,
and everybody in between, I stand behind all of them.
I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that they're all re-elected.
New York City is trying to fix a massive budget short.
Who would you be ideal replacement for Jeffery Zappeaker?
I mean, I don't know.
I think Ro Connick could be interesting.
John Federmann.
It was Chi. Guys, I don't think you understand. When you take out, like if Chi Ause was still
running against the GameJap reason, let's say in the long shot that he wins, he doesn't
automatically become the speaker. Like, that's not how that, you know, that's not how that works, right?
Court fall. And Mayor Mamdani says if the state doesn't tax the rich more property taxes,
will have to go up to fill the gaps.
He's a Schuller joins us live in the studio with more on the potential impact to people
as he's a good morning.
So with the city staring down a $7 billion budget gap, someone will have to shoulder
the cost.
Mayor Mom Donnie says it should be the wealthy governor Huckle opposes raising taxes and
many New Yorkers say they don't want to carry the burden at all.
Mayor Mom Donnie's first and preferred strategy to close the $7 billion budget deficit is
a 2% income tax hike on roughly 33,000 New Yorkers earning more than $1 million a year
along with higher corporate taxes. It's a plan Governor Hockel has firmly rejected
as she heads into a re-election campaign. So that leaves option two, raising property taxes
on everyone, homeowners, building owners and corporations that own property here. And Governor
Hockel is also against that. This is not a conversation on the basis of ideology. This
is a conversation about a fiscal crisis. And when faced with this crisis, the question
is who should pay these taxes? I believe that it should be the wealthiest New Yorkers, the
most profitable corporations. New Yorkers are stuck in the middle of this battle of
taxes. Everything has increased groceries, gas, just the day-to-day expenses. We don't want to
take that burden. Give it to somebody else. Give it to the billionaires that you promised.
It sounds like there might be a lot of steps before it gets to that.
Jared Walzak, a senior fellow at the Tax Foundation, a nonprofit says bumping up property taxes
would lead to rent increases, make New York City less desirable, and go against the national trend.
What I will say beyond this is that across the country, most cities, most states are
reducing property tax rates, not raising them.
Mamdani says closing the city's budget gap will take discipline, and he's now placing
chief savings officers in every agency to cut waste and boost efficiency.
Now, it's important to remember that this is just the mayor's proposed spending plan.
The actual budget won't be done until after the state budget is finalized this spring.
Mary.
Mayor Mamdani's proposed budget has scared a lot of people,
homeowners, co-op and condo owners, building owners,
anyone who could see their property tax bills go up
if Albany doesn't find extra money
to bail the city out of its fiscal crisis.
Political reporter Marcia Kramer has the story.
Flushing Queens is a neighborhood of homeowners
who are proud of their leaky streets,
tiny plots of land,
and the ability to have a touch of suburbia.
Many like Paul Grasiano have lived in the neighborhood for decades, but now they're worried they could be forced out by Mayor Mamdani's threat of a huge property tax hike.
He says of his neighbors, I think they would freak out.
Paul is worried too.
Absolutely impinge everything. I mean...
It is...
Dude.
Local news is so...
...fucking reactionary.
Sometimes when I'm listening to local news I'm like, is this the New York Post, like what the fuck is this?
But explain why?
Explain that he doesn't want to do that.
This is another component of class warfare.
The media is pliant and its role is to present, is to preserve the interest of the wealthy.
So, of course, they're doing this fucking insane propaganda to be like Zoran wants to raise
your property taxes.
Is that what Zoran wants?
Did he say that?
Because I feel like he said the exact opposite.
He said he doesn't want to raise the property taxes.
Interesting.
I'm raising a nine-year-old kid, and everybody knows when you're raising kids, it's every
dollar counts. His taxes have already skyrocketed. When he bought this home in
the neighborhood he grew up in, the taxes were $2,800. Now there are 11,000.
Well, Donnie Taxhike would mean another hike of over $1,000, and he's furious.
This is coming from someone who has never had to fight for anything in his
life, who grew up in privilege and wealth. So of course raising property taxes on
rich people, you know, such as himself, isn't much of a burden. But it's not just
homeowners and Corsica goes to smaller side buildings, which each have 10 apartments.
Bro, I swear to God.
Like, I swear, dude.
What the fuck are you saying?
Oh, obviously, like you're rich and I famously associate rich people with wanting to pay
higher percentages of their income and taxes.
First of all, he's not rich.
And secondly, what rich person's like, I love paying higher percentages in tax.
I'm like the only rich person I know at least that doesn't fucking mind it.
This argument is awesome.
You're not rich enough, that's why you don't mind it.
No, I'm definitely, I'm probably wealthier than that guy.
Let's be real.
But it doesn't matter.
Well I do have a daughter.
She's not nine yet.
She's a handful.
Anyway my point is that's the worst person to fucking ask their take on and it's also
totally one-sided, a totally ridiculous approach to the issue because there's not one option here.
So, I didn't come out and was like, I love raising property taxes. I'm going to raise the property
taxes. He said, I don't want to raise the property taxes, but that's the last option.
Unless we raise the taxes for the super wealthy.
There's no restraint. They just come to us as if we're an ATM machine. She says the
Montbarnier tax act if it comes to fruition will affect her tenants too. It's going to
make it much harder for me to replace a boiler instead I'm going to repair it. Patch a roof
instead of replacing a roof. Those are the kinds of decisions you have to make when you
Oh, the poor landlords, man.
Landlords famous for wanting to repair things in a timely manner.
Are now going to be even worse than they were before it seems.
Very interesting stuff.
the city and property taxes.
The mayor says raising property
taxes is not his first choice.
He wants more money from Albany,
but this is a budget that
reflects the only tools that
the city has at its disposal.
When we are speaking about
property taxes, that is a tool
of very last resort.
So a tool of very last resort.
He just said there, Marsha,
then why is he doing it?
If you ask me, he's trying to
me he's trying to raise an army. Remember that army of volunteers that help him get elected?
Well, he wants an army of people that are going to call their elected officials and
scream bloody murder. Don't raise my taxes. Well, you know, at this news conference that you attended,
you did ask the mayor if he would really do this, if he would really raise property taxes.
Tell everyone what he said. He actually dodged that question. But the truth of the matter is
that a lot can happen. This is a preliminary spending plan. The budget happens around May,
depending on what happens in Albany. And a lot can happen. Revenues could go up. The state could
decide to give more money. He could find waste in government agencies. The real question is this.
It's an election year. Is the governor going to raise taxes? Is the legislature going to raise
taxes when they have to face the voters in November? All right. Marcia Kramer, keep us posted. Thank you.
you. On the 13th of January, President Trump said to the opposition in Iran how it's an
election year. So of course, Kathy Huckle can't be seen doing the bidding of the overwhelming
majority of American voters in the state of New York. Like, I'm sure someone has the numbers.
I don't know. I don't have it in front of me, but judging by national trends, I suspect
that taxing the billionaires and the millionaires is an unfathomably popular position.
I feel like, I feel like if we had, I don't know, a democratic process, a governor that's
up for reelection would be excited at the prospect of doing that.
It almost feels like we don't have a democratic process.
I don't know.
Anyway, let's get to the United States striking Iran
at the behest of Israel now.
Don, help is coming.
We all wondered what he meant.
And on the 22nd of January,
he said there's a massive armada off the coast of Iran.
Well, it wasn't so much an armada,
but it was the carrier strike group
based on the Abram Lincoln.
And that's a pretty powerful carrier strike group.
And that's been there since more or less the end of January.
But now, there really is something to talk about,
which is that the Gerald Ford, another carrier strike group,
is just sitting off Gibraltar.
It's there at the moment.
It will probably go through the strait to Gibraltar tonight.
And if it chooses, it could be off the coast
of an Eastern Mediterranean within about four days.
So by the weekend, it's possible that the United States will
have three really important elements in place for some sort of military action.
The first element, of course, is the naval build-up.
So there might be two carrier battle groups, one in the Arabian Sea, one in the Eastern
Mediterranean.
There will be at least 11 air defense destroyers.
There are three literal combat ships.
There are at least two, maybe even three, attack submarines loaded with Tomahawk missiles.
So that's one element.
A second element is that we've seen lots of C17s and C5s,
the big heavy lifters, the globe masters and the galaxies,
all over the region in the last 10 days,
bringing air defense assets to American bases
all over the region.
So quite likely what the Americans have been doing
is strengthening.
I like that we just talked about taxation
for like the last hour or so,
just so you can see where the tax dollars are going,
by the way, like, I'm glad that I spent the last hour talking
about like, you know, percentages of taxes paid, only for us to
now show you exactly where it's fucking going. Because if you
thought that it was going to the teachers, you're wrong. If you
thought, if you thought that it was going to fixing the
infrastructure, you're wrong. It's going to corporate
and it's going to this. Military machines moving in the direction of Iran at the behest
of a foreign nation state, Israel. Isn't that wonderful?
The air defense and all of their facilities in case of Iranian retaliation once an attack
begins. And the third element is that the Gajran forensics have been looking at the
movement of American aircraft in recent days and the thing that's most interesting about
this they've got lots of fighters in place but if we look at some of the maps that we
have been able to create then we can see that they're
Yeah, you're obsessed with Israel. It's always so funny that like that's the number one thing
that people try to say. Hasan, you're so Israel obsessed. Motherfucker, you know who's Israel
obsessed the American politicians, the American political class. They love Israel. They care
about Israel more than they care about you. Some are even more honest than others, like
Lindsey Graham. Lindsey Graham will literally, Lindsey Graham goes to Israel twice a month
now. Okay.
Leftists are Fs. What does that mean? Fanatics. Gordon Jennifer Jacobs from CBS News. Scoop
from CBS News. Top national security officials have told Trump the military is ready for
leftists or what? Is that what you mean? Top national security officials have told Trump
military is ready for potential strikes in Iran as soon as this weekend, but the timeline for any
action is likely to extend beyond Saturday or Sunday, sources say Trump has not yet made a final
decision. Over the next three days, Pentagon is moving some personnel out of the Middle East region,
primarily to Europe or back to US ahead of potential action or counterattacks by Iran.
In standard practice for the Pentagon to shift assets and troops ahead of potential military
activity and doesn't necessarily signal an attack on Iran is imminent, one of the sources said.
Contacted by CBS News on Wednesday afternoon, a Pentagon spokesperson said they had no information
to provide. This is by Jennifer Jacobs and Jim LaPorta.
Sectors say Margaritaville plans to visit Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nenihon
about two weeks for further discussions according to one of the sources.
A source told Dropside Trump was intent on striking Iran in January, but was not satisfied
with the options.
The new diplomatic talks gave Pentagon the time to dispatch more firepower to the region.
successes 80 to 90% likelihood U.S. strikes within weeks.
Yeah.
By Trump was not satisfied with the options, he means Trump was scared that little O Israel
could get punished in the process a little too much.
And because he cares about Israel more than he cares about the Americans, he shot away
from it.
They've got lots of air-to-air tankers.
And so here on the 16th of February, we track six KC-135 air-to-air tankers from Mildenhall
in the United Kingdom to a base in Greece.
It's so funny when people say, oh dude, you're Israel obsessed.
so fucking awesome. Yeah, I'm Israel obsessed. How about moving billions of dollars worth of assets,
naval assets into the fucking region to defend Israel so that we can strike a foreign adversary
that we have declared a foreign adversary at the behest of Israel to attack them for Israel?
I would love to live in a world where I don't think about Israel at all, like where Israel to me
is no different than, I don't know, Estonia or something, right?
I would love to live in that world. I wish to live in that world.
I wish to live in a world where I forgot the name of Israel.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
But unfortunately, I don't live in that world.
I live in this one.
And in this one, American politicians will literally sell their firstborn children
if it means Israel gets to have an additional billion dollars in munitions.
Okay?
They don't give a fuck.
They don't care about you. They don't care about your interest. They don't care about fixing the fucking potholes
They care about making sure that Israel gets more and more military funding that Israel gets to have all of its wishes
All of its desires fulfilled
You really should cover Estonian politics, man. No, I'm not going to do that. Okay, I
I want to live in a world where I think about Israel as much as I think about Rhodesia.
That would be a beautiful world to live in.
But for the time being, as an American political commentator, I have to think about Israel
all the time because, seemingly, that's the number one priority of our politicians.
They've got those in place.
And then today, overnight, on the 18th, another 10 tankers came from the continental United
States stopped in the UK presumed to refuel and they've gone all the way to Greece and to Bulgaria
at American bases there. So those tankers are really important because the tankers create this
sense that the Americans have got plenty of bases in the Middle East but if for political
reasons they can't use them they don't need them because they've got they've got bases in Greece
and Bulgaria they could use Cyprus, Akaterian Cyprus and the tankers will give them the range
that those fighters and bombers might need to attack Iran, if necessary.
The final part of the Jigsaw are the Sentry, E3 aircraft, very easy to recognise.
These are the AWACS, the Airborne Warning and Control aircraft.
Six of them are now in the region. You can start a war with one of these
because they actually see the whole battlefield.
And so with E3 Sentry aircraft, we know that the Americans by the weekend
could operate a very, very large campaign if they choose to from the weekend.
weekend. We'll find out next week. Thank you, Michael.
Derek. On Iran, I'm not asking you for like military secrets.
Why is Israel so important? I'm genuinely asking
not Israel that's necessarily important. It's that
Israel is our base of operations in the region.
Israel is the destabilizing factor in this incredibly resource
rich region. Israel is love. Israel is life. Israel is my favorite nation on the planet.
Israel is the only nation that matters. There's no other nation that matters when you think about
Israel. When I think about Israel, my heart is filled with joy. I cannot comprehend a country
that I would care about more than Israel. Am Israel high? It was promised to the people that
lived there 3,000 years ago. You guys are all anti-semitic for not even thinking this every
morning. Every morning I wake up and I think I do my 10 M Israel highs and I think to myself
Danny Avdija is the best basketball player that's ever existed on God's green earth.
Benjamin Netanyahu is handsome and also I care about Israel more than I care about my family
members. And yeah, that's it. LeBron James is also, uh, you know, not as good as Danny
Avdice, but good enough, especially as of late.
Danny Avdice is definitely not a foul merchant. Nope. Nope. He does not draw out unnecessary
fowls, the referees are not in the pocket of Masad, Gal Gadot needs not an Oscar, all
the Oscars. Israel small nation, Israel punching above its weight class, Israel only nation.
I want to live in a world where there's no other countries. Okay, one nation under God,
like one nation under the state of Israel. All nations under the state of Israel. It's
Israel's world. We're just living in it. Is that good? Denny Abidja has had five MVP stolen
from him. Quentin Tarantino is the greatest director of all time. Well, I used to believe,
I mean, not the greatest, but I used to really like Quentin Tarantino. Yeah, United Nations,
like United Nations of Israel. I condemn October 7 more than I've ever condemned anything.
Someone could kill my immediate family members, and I would condemn Hamas harder than I condemn
those people. Yeah, Israel is love. Israel is life. Israel is the only light in my life.
Dude, you're being so anti-Semitic by not giving Israel enough props right now. Kalal no!
Jeffrey Epstein was a Russian asset. Well, Russia's two Israel aligned as well. Jeffrey Epstein was a Chinese asset
Jeffrey Epstein was a Hamas asset
and
Iranian
Certainly not an Israeli asset at all
Certainly not actually a hood Barak was a white hat pedophile hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein to uncover the deep
entanglements that Jeffrey Epstein, the asset of Iran, was doing. Is that good? Maybe Ethan
Klein will be off my ass now, now that I've said the truth, the only truth that should
have ever been spoken. Is that good? Sex, Pestini, all of the numerous pedophilic lolly
con enjoying Israeli contractors such as Nukstako. Perhaps now they can stop coming after me and
focus on what they care about, which is, I don't know, reviewing drawn child pornography.
I think you nailed the social interaction. Thank you.
Last year, Trump said, Iran's nuclear program was totally obliterated and now his advice tells
Axios, I think there's a 90% chance we see kinetic action in the next few weeks.
Do we need Israel as much now that we have Venezuelan oil?
Ah!
Neekskit, how dare you?
I will fucking...
Neekskit, I will literally laser you off of ex- out of existence.
Do you understand?
Needs kit place
Place
How dare you how dare you ask do we even need Israel as much now that we have Venezuelan oil
How fucking dare you?
Your time is your time is coming
Okay for saying such anti-semitic things for thinking such anti-semitic thoughts
Are you telling me?
That Israel is not tiny nation
Best nation on the planet? Is that what you're telling me right now?
You better take that back right now say Israel is better than America right now say it right now
I'm gay
Lebanese
Do we actually convert this motherfucker no it's because he's a bot and he's a contrarian now that I've said
Now that I said what I said about Israel. He had the fucking hit me with a contrarian position. That's it
Lucky for us is here. That's right. We're legalizing comedy. So
Yeah, we need a no politic here
We need a no politic here take I hate white people. I hate white people
That's not every five seconds is taking me out. I'm glad it makes him happy at least Lamau
Thank you.
This charisma so can Jasmine Crogger currently in races the bottom of the races.
Oh yeah, this one's awesome.
Televive 24, Throne out, Hasbra already.
We've received information from sourcing around that the Islamic Republic regime stored
military ammunition inside Imam Khomeini Hospital in Urmia yesterday. The regime plans
to use the ammunition against anti-regime process in case new protests erupt in the
city. It's pretty fucking crazy and pretty disgusting that looking at like how America
is operated thus far, you could just get this as like a target. Like we know that they're
looking at Twitter, they could just as easily bomb that hospital now.
You forget the Prince of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, update your list of priorities.
I don't think about him at all because I think personally he doesn't actually dick right
as real as hard as he should be.
Like I know you'll say, oh, he brings up Israel all the time.
It's not nearly enough.
actually he should, if he was a real one, he would say, um, as the monarch, I will make
Iran a province of the greater Israeli project.
Like that's, that's what he should be saying.
And it's really fucked up that the Shah of Bethesda is not, you know, is capable of speaking
and worse thinking such unspeakable anti-Semitic thoughts.
Yeah, it's not sufficient.
Islamic Republic of Iran, more like Israeli Republic of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, that I miss
it.
No.
We can start posting that there are mass destruction weapons on the White House to
to strike the AI and Palantir. I don't want to do any more nation building Hasan. That's
insanely anti-Semitic. You are, dude, there are so many fucking anti-Semites in this chat
today. What is happening, dude? What the fuck is going on? I say place to all of you. Okay.
Seriously, we want it, we have to do more nation-building.
We need to do more nation-building.
The more we build the nations, the better.
Mohen Rabbani takes a piece from this notice article from John B. Judas, the coming conservative
turn against Israel much deeper than you realize.
Israel has reason to be concerned. It has already lost a generation of young Democrats,
and now the same thing is happening among young Republicans. Without popular support,
Israel and those Americans who favor its policies will have to rely on the clout of groups like
A-PAC and the Anti-Defamation League, as well as super wealthy pro-Israel Jews such as Bill
Ackman, also known as Bill A. Packman, Miriam Adelson, and Larry Ellison. Trump's own support
for Israeli aims seems to have been heavily influenced by pro-Israel donors and by a son-in-law
Jared Kushner, whose family foundation has donated the West Bank settlements, that situation
is probably not sustainable. And it could have a very bad side effects. Yeah, it won't
because democracy is a fucking lie. And if 99.9% of the population was against Israel,
America, the American government was still behaving the exact same ways that it does.
Okay, it's that fucking simple. I'm not like I'm not even exaggerating dude. It's it's
It's upon us to make it as
As as hard to contend with as possible
We have to keep protesting. We have to keep paying attention to what this government is doing
We have to tie it back to domestic policies if necessary
but
These guys if there wasn't I mean even with protest they don't give a shit
Okay? Even with protests, they clearly do not give a- uh-uh, Kaya, you are bad. No. No, that food is not for you. That's human food. Get out of there.
Bernie's about to have PTSD on stream.
unless you want to give them. Can you share a little bit about the President's thinking
on whether or not to strike Iran, who he's talking to, what information he's consuming,
and why a strike might be necessary on a nuclear program, he says, was obliterated by the last
U.S. strike?
Well, there's many reasons and arguments that one could make for a strike against Iran.
The President had a very successful operation as Commander-in-Chief of Operation Midnight
Hammer, as you know, as you just said, totally obliterated Iran's nuclear facilities.
The President has always been very clear, though, with respect to Iran or any country
around the world, diplomacy is always his first option, and Iran would be very wise
to make a deal with President Trump and with this administration.
He's talking to many people, of course his national security team, first and foremost,
and you know who the members of that team are.
And this is something obviously the president takes seriously.
He's always thinking about what's in the best interests of the United States of America,
of our military, of the American people, and that's how he makes decisions with respect
to military action of any kind.
The rubbish on the streets bites to get around, power only by torchlight.
This the state of Cuba desperately running out of oil supplies, because it's reliant
on Venezuela for fuel and the US blocking imports of oil from there threatens to grind
this island to a halt.
The problem is everywhere to be seen in Havana and this now a threat to public health.
No fuel to power the rubbish trucks.
Now there was a lot of criticism.
much better for both its citizens and for citizens everywhere around the world.
Nowadays, liberals also fucking say the same shit.
Liberals also say it's on you.
All you'd say is America, bad America, evil America, bad America, evil.
Except nowadays, that reality is impossible to avoid.
How can you call?
A nation state that has all of the power, the hegemonic superpower.
of the planet, doing this to a nation much smaller, much tinier, and it's that unfortunately has the proximity of a couple hundred miles.
How can you call a country that does this to a much smaller nation, starving its population, killing its population deliberately?
Anything but evil.
This is siege warfare, okay?
That's what it is.
They say you support China because you didn't criticize the Uyghur suppression.
That's really interesting that they say that because that video is literally a video where
I am doing just that for the record.
You need to actually watch the video.
I've seen the video circulating.
You just read the description, you didn't watch the fucking video.
It's incredibly stupid.
Exactly, I know that with a Twitter post of so many likes, eh, what are you supposed
to do?
What can you do if people are fucking too stupid and too lazy to even listen to the words that
are coming out of the video that they're using?
What is this?
I find it quite silly to me that you're with a number one looks maxer and instead of asking
how you could ascend so that you know your wife won't tweet out captions like when my
husband's away Mr. Sud comes out to play maybe if you ask me how to ascend then I'll stop
happening to you.
You know what I mean?
No.
No.
Bruh.
Bruh.
That motherfucker is watching, bro.
Oh, it's serious, critical, very critical.
It's prone to causing diseases, which are caused by garbage.
Please do something about this.
And no fuel for homes, schools, hospitals, causing blackouts for much of the day.
Cuba's iconic 1950s cars replaced...
I was thinking about this.
Clavicular is me if I actually hyperfixated on, you know, bone mashing and lux maxing
instead of like building socialism.
So not like me at all, but the hyperfixation is there, the constant streaming is there.

But why wouldn't you want to vote for Gavin Newsom?
Why wouldn't I vote for Gavin Newsom?

Electric bikes the only way to get around in a country being choked off from its supplies
Life in Cuba has become almost unrecognisable for the Caribbean island, which usually attracts millions of tourists a year.
I used to be a driver, I used to drive an albendron, and I worked every day, but because of the gasoline and oil situation, we've had to take this alternative, find a tricycle to keep moving the population. There's no other way.
Cuba's communist ideology has put it at odds with the world's biggest superpower for years.
It's now stuck between accepting-
There's one way to approach it. Put it at odds.
More like Cuba's communist revolution is the reason why the larger superpower on the planet has actively punished it.
Choosing to starve its population, trying to kill its leaders.
This is the beginning of the successful revolution.
White House demands, or facing a crisis that could snowball into catastrophe for citizens.
Trump says it needs to make a deal or face the consequences, seeing a potential chance
for a Cuban government to fall.
The Cuban is right now a failed nation and they don't even have jet fuel to get for airplanes
to take off. They're clogging up their runway. We're talking to the Cuban right now and
Arthur Rubio talking to the people right now, and they should absolutely make a deal, because
it's a humanitarian threat.
It caused by you, motherfucker.
America is a region split at the moment. Traditional alliance is bending under the pressure of
US involvement. These were much needed supplies from Mexico being shipped in last week. But
The government now halting shipments after the U.S. threatened tariffs against countries
that send supplies to Cuba.
But not everyone there agrees with the Scheinbaum administration with demos against what some
Mexican say is economic suffocation for Cubans.
And Chile's far right, President Alex saying it won't be lending Cuba a hand either.
I do not agree with giving direct economic aid to a government that has imposed a dictatorship
for more than 60 years and has left the Cuban people in a very deprived, inhumane situation.
Russian tourists at the airport in Havana being repatriated, but while in inconvenience
for its holiday makers, this is potentially an opportunity for Russia itself, because
Cuba now needs oil and badly. Russia could be the one to provide it. With the US-Cuba
relationship strained for decades. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants,
is seen to be ramping that up further, accused of a personal agenda, or even a lifelong dream
to exact regime change. Rubio, for his part, defending the aggressive stance to Bloomberg.
God, we deserve so much worse than we get. It is crazy. There is truly no God. There
There is truly no karmic justice, it is un-fucking-bearable, un-fucking-bearable.
Do you think it was the cost to be paid for Fidel Mogg in America for so long?
Yeah, we should we should actually talk about how much Fidel and Che mogged and
the ramifications of said mogging
Cuz like look at this ugly ass son of a bitch, okay with his big old ears dumbo looking ass motherfucker, okay?
Obviously, he still feels some type of weight because of the amount of mugging that him and
his fucking parents had to withstand, you know?
That's the real reason.
Stop, he can hear you, that's why I'm saying it.
I want him to hear me with his big old dumbo ears.
Who is Cuban, by the way?
Yeah.
Rubio literally comes from a family of fucking drug traffickers, okay?
That's what's so crazy about it like this motherfucker his stepbrother was straight up a cocaine dealer, okay?
And he's out here being like oh we got to take out Venezuela because of the drugs that they're dealing like bitch take yourself out
God damn I
Hate this person so much. I hate him so much
I mean, I obviously hate Donald Trump too, I hate all of them.
Yeah, his uncle went to prison for like 30 years, like it's not even, or no, not a step-brother,
sorry, his brother-in-law.
His whole family, his whole entire lineage are fucking drug dealers, dude.
He is in some ways, unironically, exactly what conservatives claim is happening in the
country, and yet they love him, right?
Latino immigrant, coming from a Latino immigrant family that literally is like directly related
to drug dealers, who then uses his position of power to advance like whatever kind of
ethnic, whatever kind of like ethnic sectarianism he is committed to.
Isn't that straight up the thing that these guys talk about when they're like, oh, we are
being infiltrated by, by, you know, Latinos who are going to use the government for their
own personal pet project and their own personal ethnic resentments.
Okay.
The fuck?
The fundamental problem Cuba has is it has no economy and the people who are in charge
of that country and control of that country, they don't know how to improve the everyday
life of their people without giving up power over sectors that they control. They want
to control everything. They don't want the people at Cuba to control anything.
Why can't you just let him breathe, man? Why can't you just fucking let him breathe?
It makes no dang sense. Oh, dude, you don't understand. Socialism is just not working.
is not working. That's why we have to starve them to make sure you understand.
The result for Cubans is a dark uncertainty with no surety of what's next or confirmation
as to where help will come from, if at all.
David Adler works for the left wing activist group Progressive International. He's one
of the organizers of the Newestra America Flotilla that's taking aid to Cuba and was previously
involved in similar missions to Gaza. Thank you for joining us. Can you tell us first of all?
It's my goat. That's our boy right there chat.
Working with David on this flotilla and the aid delivery and there will be hopefully more
information for all of you to consume soon. What you've been doing and can you tell us about the
mission of your organization in Cuba and the aid flotilla that you're sending that.
With this escalating assault on the island and its people, we've taken ourselves a large coalition
of popular movements, unions, parties around the world to hear that call of humanity and respond
by launching a large mission by sea, by air, of flotilla to reach the shores of Cuba and to provide
that critical humanitarian aid, those essential supplies, medicine, food, solar panels, for example,
that its critical infrastructure needs right now to prevent a true humanitarian catastrophe
that has been forewarned by high-ranking UN experts and officials.
I know you were in Cuba just a few weeks ago. How much is the situation there changed since then
and what were the limitations on aid specifically as well?
I think it's possible to overstate the consequences of a siege of this nature. This is not just any
geopolitical instrument. This is not just any normal foreign policy. What we're looking at is the
failure of really critical infrastructure that sustains daily life on the island, stuff as simple
as trash collection, but something as important as neonatal care. If you look at Action Within Cuba
over the last few months and years, though there have been protests against blackouts, shortages
before. This isn't just necessarily a US issue. The Cuban government continues to repress
dissent.
If China was to win big points, they should send a huge ass shit filled with solar panels.
I'ma keep it above 50 with you. I think China needs to do a lot more than just send fucking
solar panels. I think it is a disaster that the only thing that they've done so far is
to send solar panels rather than invoke an international crisis by sending naval fleets
alongside oil tankers, like taking oil tankers from Iran potentially or from somewhere else
with actual Chinese naval assets and just shipping them over to fucking Cuba because
a lot of people don't understand how the American embargo works.
For example, here, I'll tell you one way that this works, when America applies a full spectrum
embargo like the one on Cuba, okay, if you are a ship that has ever actually touched
a Cuban port at any point in time, you no longer can work with any of the American ports.
You can't go to another port that works with American ports for like a thousand, I think
like for a thousand days. So they block you from it. As part of the reason why a lot of people,
a lot of people in the shipping side of things don't do that. They don't work with Russia. They
don't work with Iran. They don't work with Cuba for that reason. Like when America says, oh dude,
like Cuba is not entitled to our trade, they're fucking lying. Okay. That's not how an American
full spectrum embargo works. These people are oblivious to how psychotic the Treasury Department
is, to how psychotic the American government is, is 180 days. I thought it was a thousand days.
I might be wrong on exactly how many days, but like they literally render you, they basically
make it so that you can't even fucking engage in like international shipping.
Khrushchev knew what to do. Yeah. Revisionists are not. Khrushchev was a fucking lion when
it came down to intervention. Okay. Putting nukes in Cuba gave Cuba the opportunity to
develop, the opportunity to grow straight up. I will stand on that decision one million
percent. Okay. I've said it before and I will say it again. China has an opportunity to
more. China has an opportunity to offer protection to Mexico. China has an opportunity to offer
protection to all of these other trade partners in the region that could be shipping oil, but
they don't do it because they don't want to disrupt the flow. They don't want to stop
trade maxing. It's disastrous. So when we have a conversation, look, I know I'm American and,
and you know, I'm trying to do my part. I'm trying to bring awareness to the conditions in Cuba
and what the American government has done, and we're directly trying to deliver aid to Cuba as well.
But at the end of the day, you know, other global superpowers do have a lot more power
at their disposal to game out the system a little bit, to offer a lifeline to the
fucking Cuban population, and it's disgusting that they're choosing not to do that.
Disgusting that they're choosing to turn a blind eye to these atrocities.
Right now there's a very limited amount of aid that is entering the island and aid from America is not illegal either for the record
Until they turn around and make it illegal. But yeah, like right now
Oh, it's 180 days. Sorry. Okay. Oh fact office of foreign assets control in the Treasury Department will openly tell you like
You can actually well, there's a new executive order that just came out from the Trump administration
That says like American ports can no longer send ships to Cuba because we're fucking disgusting
But, but the reality is you can get an OFAC clearance to bring aid to Cuba.
We're gonna get an OFAC clearance to bring aid to Cuba, for example.
But, the thing that they're not allowing to send in to Cuba, it's identical to
like what Israel does with Gaza, right? It's identical to what Israel does with Gaza. Every
single piece of humanitarian aid that goes into Gaza goes through Israeli control. Okay.
That's precisely what America is doing right now to Cuba. China has become the same imperial
form Lenin excro- excrociate, excoriated? Uh, it's the sad state of affairs and I don't
know if it's just like China simply waiting out their developmentary process, or if it's
coming out of a place of pure selfishness. It's very difficult for me to, it's very difficult
for me to look at the situation and not assume that it's coming out of a place of pure selfishness.
Oh, fuck off. China is not imperial at all. Imperial at all. Yeah, it's not. It's not
imperialism that China is doing. They just straight up deny any responsibility that they
might have as a global superpower. And while a lot of dingus on the timeline will fucking
sit there and be like, Oh, you just want China to be the world police. That's not what I'm
saying at all. I don't demand China be the world police. I'm just saying that like there
can be some room for selfless behavior, especially if that selfless behavior could yield opportunity
down the line for a self-invested, self-interested China.
Like China would never do what Russia did to Ukraine, right? They just wouldn't. Let's
be real. They would not do that. But they're taking great advantage of the situation, the
collapse of the international order. It's all great. It's all wonderful for them. Sometimes
it's okay for you to push in the right direction. And Russia's actions, obviously in Ukraine,
are not correct or not moral. But I'm just saying like for Chinese interests or for shattering
American hegemony, it has been very successful. Okay? It has been very successful. China just
waits it out every single time. Someone else has to fucking do it. And then they'll like
sit there and reap the rewards. Well, this is an opportunity for China to show the rest
of the world that they are actually a superpower that is invested in stability is invested
in like, you know, humanitarian aid show the world by tilting the scales a little bit that
the United States of America is not is not a force for good.
I think that kind of initiative does play a big role in getting people on board. It would
absolutely shatter the synophobic sentiment that many of these European counterparts have
or at least chip away at it. Okay. But wouldn't that open the permission structure with America
Taiwan? Open the permission structure? What are we talking about? That permission structure is
wide open. What more can America do in terms of interference in Taiwan? They already have given
Taiwan every single fucking piece of weapon that they possibly could have.
I don't think Europeans, I don't agree. Europeans don't care a Cuba. I don't agree with you.
The United Nations has consistently demanded that America release the embargo around Cuba, year over year, with two exceptions. Israel and the United States of America. And that's precisely the reason why the embargo remains.
I think the amount of goodwill that they would secure is incredible.
China won outright give military aid and never does it publicly.
Both China and Vietnam is at party leadership visit Cuba consistently.
Yeah, I know.
That doesn't fucking mean anything. They literally America did a kidnapping
a
America kidnapped the leader of Venezuela while the fucking Chinese ambassador was in Caracas, dude
What are you talking about?
China should be a lot more responsible near its own region, but expecting them to try
and counterbalance the USA and the Americas is so crazy.
I think it's just a different approach to foreign policy that would yield tremendous
benefits for China down the line in ways that China cannot currently foresee.
They just have a different approach.
They want trade maxing.
They want businesses usual.
They want America to continue collapsing on its own weight.
That's it.
That's their goal.
That's what they're going to keep doing.
There's not really anything we can do.
And also, who am I to fucking complain?
I mean, as long as China remains a superpower without overt imperialist ambitions, and that
is the fucking case, by the way, right?
You'll say Tibet.
You'll say Xinjiang.
say Taiwan, all of these places in the eyes of the Chinese government always been historically
a part of China for a lot longer than the continental United States of America has ever
fucking existed.
I'm not saying right or wrong, by the way, I'm just simply telling you what their motivations
are and they haven't fucking moved beyond that an inch.
Like people talk about the South China Sea, they're building islands in the South China
to see once again, like establishing a security perimeter in their own fucking backyard is
the opposite of what we're talking about. If you're talking about imperialism, like,
and also on top of that, they already have Asian cooperation with every single country
with the exception of the Philippines. Like what their, what their goals are is, is the
opposite of what America has done. We're talking about, you know, we're, we're talking about
a fucking country with the 800 military base that we know of, or thousand military base
that we know of.
Anyway.
It's not even close.
They are not ambitious about advancing the interests of empire, no matter how hard Americans
in the Western world says they are.
Are they dominant and oftentimes heavy-handed in their approach to striking down any sort
of like separationist movement apps a fucking lovely.
Okay.
But having said that, like even their approach to Taiwan, like a lot of people misunderstand
it where they think like, oh, they're going to bomb Taiwan. They're going to invade Taiwan
militarily. It's like, brother, you just don't understand what the Chinese approach to Taiwan
is. If you feel that way, partially, I mean, I'm not even saying that it won't happen
ever, but it is absolutely the fucking last possible option. And the reason for why I
say that is because their approach to Taiwan is entirely different. They see people in
Taiwan as their brothers as their as their own people. They don't see it as like, but
it's not even like Russia versus Ukraine. They don't, they don't see Taiwan as a colony
to dominate. They see Taiwan as a, a stain on their national reputation, like the last
remaining aspect of the century of humiliation that America has held on to. They don't want
to fucking kill people in Taiwan. They want Taiwan to want to become a part of the People's Republic of China.
It's also a constant security fear, obviously.
Now would have helped Cuba. Maybe. Why would they accept their independence then? It's
so funny because even if you ask the people of Taiwan, the highest priority is not immediate
independence. The highest ranking opinion in Taiwan is stay the course. Because right
Right now they have a foothold in both the western world and also in China.
A lot of you don't recognize that because you've been fucking duped by whatever newspaper
you read or whatever article you read.
There has never been a moment, as far as I know, especially in recent and the last couple
of decades, where the number one position in Taiwan by the Taiwanese population is anything
but stay the course.
The second most popular position, of course, is independence in the future, potentially,
but stay the course now.
A lot of you don't understand, like, that there is a tremendous amount of financial
benefits.
What is this?
for Taiwan to maintain the same political structure they have with the People's Republic.
Sounds like you want China to fall into the similar traps of the USSR.
the
Anyway, what is this? What is the Chinese approach to Burma? Why give advanced fighters just a child killer generals?
Yeah, what do you mean? That's exactly what I'm talking about. Sometimes, sometimes they work with the military junta,
and other times they work with the fucking paramilitary groups that are resisting against it. They just play ball with everybody.
All they care about is stability. It doesn't matter if it's a fascist government that's doing a genocide, for example, as long as it yields stability, they'll work with them.
That's it. It's an entirely, entirely, like not to say that the American government is selfless in their fucking interventions, they're doing it at the behest of capital.
That's why they engage in imperialism, maximum imperialism, maximum extraction of natural resources from the periphery nations from the global south at the behest of
international capital. China doesn't operate that way. They don't give a fuck what other countries are doing as long as they're not fucking up the bag for China.
That's it.
Anyway, it's rather hypocritical of me, of course, to sit here and demand China do something.
I just, you know, when you're out of options, you look to whoever is a powerful force on
the planet.
And public criticism.
So there is a history of this as well.
You can't necessarily place it on the US.
The Cuban government has long, long assumed responsibility for critical policies that
would provide for the well-being of their people.
There's no shortage of criticism, open discussion and dialogue on the island about that.
But let's be abundantly clear.
This is in plain black and white, written into State Department memos and cables, reaching
back for 60 years of the U.S. blockade, where the explicit goal of U.S. policy is to strangle
the island in flame, hunger, and desperation that would lead to the type of social unrest
that could cause the collapse of the regime.
I would call on people to really question, before we normalize these tactics of siege
in utter and explicit violation of international law, why are we doing this?
What threat does Cuba represent to the U.S., American people?
What threat does Cuba represent to the international community, a country that has led medical
brigades and provided for the poor all across the world throughout the history of its revolution
since 1959?
What do you make of the international response to this crisis, then, has Cuba been abandoned
by its traditional allies, particularly in South America as well?
One of the things we've seen in recent days is governments increasingly wake up those
allies of Cuba, historical allies of Cuba, wake up to this humanitarian crisis.
Morena and the government of Claudia Shea in Mexico, for example, sending a ministering aid.
The government of Gabriel Boric promised to do so as well as the government of Pedro Sanchez.
But what Cuba also needs right now is petroleum. It's really going to be up to states to respond
to their own obligations and international law and ensure that the human people have access
to the critical energy that sustains the infrastructure that will keep people alive
in the coming hours, days, weeks and months.
And where do you think Russia could come into that, I suppose, Russia or China in the mix for that?
Certainly, China has played a hugely constructive role in supporting the construction of a solar renewable energy on which Cuba will now be forced to rely.
And this is a rapidly deteriorating situation, so even if we take a radiography of the international community of where they are now, we should hope that by tomorrow, by the end of this week, there are 10, 20, 50 more governments that understand the gravity of this crisis.
What do you make of President Trump calling this a humanitarian crisis?
What's amazing is seeing the backtracking or the defense of this US policy by people who pretend to say,
oh, there's no blockade, there's no embargo.
Trump on Air Force One just yesterday, Tuesday 11th February, or Tuesday 11th of the 16th, said himself,
there's an embargo, there's no money, there's no oil.
He bragged of this to his own audience of reporters on Air Force One.
So the United States is very explicitly using the humanitarian crisis as an instrument of
leverage in its own long-standing effort to overthrow the government of Cuba and to oversee
essentially its annexation with the United States led by the long-standing anti-communist
crusader Marco Rubio there at the State Department.
Cuba is not Venezuela.
It doesn't have the oil reserves.
It doesn't have the natural resources that Venezuela has.
So this seems to be about ideology as much as anything else.
So are there different challenges to this so-called
Don Rowe doctrine that Trump has alluded to in Cuba?
And what do you see of those?
Once again, the asphyxiation of Cuba begs the question,
why is the United States doing this?
And why is the international community so silent
in the face of the Cuban people's suffering?
We should be really all concerned,
no matter our own ideological stripe,
about what it means for a government
to basically create an enemy out of an ideology,
a difference of opinion, a difference of a proposal
for how people want to govern their own country
under the banner of their self-determination
and use that as the basis for, like I said,
a siege of the violence.
So I think that this sets a very, very dangerous precedent.
Do we allow people to determine their own future
and to express freely their solidaries
with others across the world?
Or do Donald Trump to dictate the terms of that solidarity
and to strangle off anything that they see as a threat
to their ideological vision?
I saw a bit ago, you said you wish the Soviet Union still existed. Why do you feel that way?
I mean, look at what we're doing to fucking Cuba, brother.
We could not do to Cuba what we are doing to Cuba right now when the Soviet Union existed.
Why? Because they put their fucking nukes in Cuba.
Okay, there you go.
I care about people's survival.
I care about moving society in a more egalitarian direction.
And the USSR, for all of its faults and failures, was the one goddamn fucking polar opposite
power in the planet that would do what was necessary.
And even then, it was done because America had put nukes and missile bases in Turkey.
They did it after.
Okay, they did it after, but it still helped.
The stuff is fucking simple.
If you hate your deteriorating material conditions now, remember that acceleration of demise happened
after the dissolution of the USSR.
Our capital owners got endlessly hungry and greedy when they realized that there was no
more threat of an alternative out there.
David Adler from Progressive International.
Thank you very much.
This guy stands on Gaza, David Adler's.
I mean, he was on the broadcast before when I interviewed him when he was, after he was
arrested and was tortured in an Israeli prison for participating in putting together the
to mud flotilla. So hopefully that helps you understand where his assessment is here.
Yeah.
Late night host Stephen Colbert. Okay. There's more that I want to talk about with Israel and Iran,
by the way but also we come on and talk about the Cuban flotilla to brother we're gonna
be on the flotilla oh I wanted to see Platinum's answer to Cuba yes I would very much like
to see a normalization of relations with Cuba I think we also need to remove the blockade
I mean, it's honestly childish.
I mean, we have tried to destroy that country
because we were mad about the fact
it went to a different model of government
and a different model of economic understanding than ours.
And much like the whole, like, we try to break something
and then we get to point at it and say that it doesn't work.
I think that's exactly what we've done to Cuba.
And it is, I think-
dude. Come on. Someone is saying, oh, he said, child is more like evil. It's like, you're
right. But what fucking American congressperson running for office is saying anything close
to this truth? Like this is, this is literally the best possible most clear answer that I've
heard from any American congressperson. You might not want to trust them for because of
his background or whatever, but like, you're out of your fucking mind, dude.
It's unconscionable and it's frankly childish.
Yeah.
It's also utterly absurd that it went on for as long as it did.
I mean, I will give, I have a lot of criticisms of the Obama administration, something I think
was just fundamental.
I'm so mad at your supposed love designs for giving this guy no charitability.
not true? No. Most of the people in this community, like
Grand Planner, they're just too afraid of fucking people coming out and yelling about
it. They don't want to say it out loud for a couple reasons. One, because they don't
want to come across like they've been fooled. If it turns out that he's like an op. Some
are skeptical for understandable reasons given his, uh, uh, you know, given his track record
and service, you know, joining fucking black water, all this stuff.
Well, I've, I've made my position very clear.
Part of the reason why a lot of people yelled at me at the time.
He says all of the right things, all of the time.
Which left was never more online and chronically inside than when Gramgate was happening and
when it wasn't that significant.
Being a Nazi and lying about a same group is Federer Wapp backing him by the way.
Oh really?
Really interesting that you say that considering that the same group that's backing him is
There's also backing Zoram Amdani and numerous other fucking left flank candidates.
So you're wrong about that.
A lot of these guys, who work as consultants, they work for numerous fucking campaigns.
.
In any case,
That's not true. Do you say start it off by backing them?
I unless they unendorse them because of the tattoo gate.
Literally zero viewer being all the Cuba.
Is he bringing all the Cuba?
No, literally zero viewer being all the Cuba.
Are you bringing all the Cuba?
Have you brought oil to Cuba?
How much oil have you brought to Cuba?
It's so fucking crazy that this guy is saying,
A bunch of fucking humanitarian activists and like unions are not doing the thing that entire nations are too afraid to do.
You're not wrong, but it's crazy.
Like, I don't know what all of the things that the flotilla would be bringing in terms of eight excuses.
Don't worry, I'll shovel a barrel of oil in my ass and smuggle it.
What are you bringing in Cuba?
Yeah.
You got a way to do it, right?
Do you have an approach to this that other people are not thinking about?
Can you explain I haven't banned you yet because I want to hear clock is ticking.
You got a, you know, do you have a, do you have a tanker, an oil tanker at your disposal?
You must be planning it right now, right?
Or is the extent of your quote unquote praxis, chirping at people who are trying to do their
very best to bring awareness?
Maybe you do, I don't.
But you're talking like you have one
So now that you don't now that you know that I don't have like
20 million dollars you seem to have a lot of influence. Maybe you have a tanker
That's what you think? You think I have a lot of influence and therefore a tanker that's like that has like 20 million dollars worth of oil for an entire fucking nation?
That's what you think?
You're not doing anything big talk from someone also not doing anything also. No, that's the the worst part about this
Conversation is not even that I'm not doing anything. He's not doing anything while simultaneously claiming
That we're not trying to do anything at all when we are trying to do something
He's not doing anything
And the only thing he's doing is yelling at people who are trying to do something Cuban. He's oil on publicity sons
It's really interesting that you say this
Have you been talking to the Cuban government?
Because it kind of feels like they have a different approach to the situation than you do
But I mean I'm sure your favorite online content creator you're the sweatiest fucking loser of all time has probably told you something different
have you been talking to the American government? No, I haven't been talking to the American
government. I'm a Twitch streamer. I don't know if you know this. Do you think it's more
important to talk to the American government in this situation or be talking to the Cuban
government to see what their needs are? Actually, that's not even true. Yes, I am talking to
American politicians about this exact issue at the moment. Yeah, I am. What have you done
though. Actually, what have you done? What is your favorite content creator done? I don't
know why I even said I'm not talking to American government officials. I am. But what have
you done? If you knew even the logistics of how this stuff works, you would know that
there's also people that are literally working with, they have to work with the Treasury
to get an OFAC clearance to even send any humanitarian aid whatsoever to Cuba. But what
have you done? What have you done? I want to know what you've done because we all play
a role here, right? We all have a finite amount of time on God's green earth, right? And what
do I always say? You got to make the most of it. You got to do whatever you can, right?
Nothing is too little, especially when the situation calls for it. So my question is
Outside of fucking chirping in here about people trying to do their best.
What have you done?
What have I done?
Well, some of most of which I can't reveal to you at this moment, but we're
putting together a aid mission right now with the express purpose of showcasing the conditions in
Cuba and what the American government is doing to Cuba. That's what I'm working on. I'm working on
it every day as a matter of fact. I'm asking you, what have you done other than say that that's just
a publicity stunt, which by the way, ironically enough, yes, publicity is a part of it. It goes
both ways. Probably can't reveal mine at the moment too. Well, I have revealed some of it though.
I just can't give you all of the details. Now you can tell me directionally what you're doing
beyond chirping in my chat 49 month subscriber. Come on.
Because it doesn't go both ways. You haven't told me anything. I've actually revealed
a big part.
it. After all, you're currently criticizing the things that we're trying to do. So what
have you done other than annoy a Twitch streamer and derail the stream?
No answer.
Okay, I yield you in this community is the saver of Cuba happy. Oh, is that what I said?
Is that what I said, that's not what I said at all. I
Was honestly trying to figure out what what spectacular impressive feat
You've put out there. I
I didn't say this community is the savior of Cuba. That is what you're implying. No, that's not what I'm implying
That's never what I implied at all as a matter of fact. I said no matter how little I
Urge everyone to try to do their very best to help out Cuba
Okay
Implying that what we are doing, what we are trying to do is will be helpful, but it won't
actually solve the problem.
What have you done other than fucking complaining here?
It's a simple question.
I don't have a platform.
platform there for you have more power than me what the fuck is wrong with you oh you're just a
small bean oh okay there's 33,584 other people just like you devoid of a platform right now
why do you think they're not doing what you're doing do you think this is activism do you think
this is moving the needle in the appropriate direction clearly you must think that way so is
your only contribution truly this is the question you have to ask yourself because there's plenty
people in the chat saying, how do we join? How can we contribute? All this stuff. You haven't done
that. You just came out of the gate swinging at people who are trying to do their best.
The Cuban government is aware of the unfortunate restrictions that even other powers have.
Right? Your debate, Lording, now this is a remotely productive for the Cuban population.
forget this. I'm debate-lording. If I recall, I was actually talking about the conditions in Cuba,
and what the people could do. You're the one who is disparaging that by starting this conversation.
If you apologize, we can move on. If you don't apologize, I'll just ban you, which I'm sure
you will use as a mark of honor going forward in whichever other community you have now decided to
resided. Stain is Mike from PA fan? No, Mike from PA is also super pro this. Socialism
means no fun, you fools. Wait for communism for fun. Hasan from Hong Kong. How can this
person be a normal member in both of our communities, but in this very moment, he just like loses
his fucking mind. Oh, they got banned from Haas Gord for being fucking annoying. So now
Now this is their political advocacy. No, just ban my ass. I don't care.
He's mad about the soundboard. Okay. Well, that's, that's worthy of a fucking ban.
That's good enough for me.
It's bad empanada. Bad empanada said this is a publicity son and challenge Michael
from Pennsylvania into a fist fight.
Yeah, because he's a fucking mentally ill moron with the brain of a fucking insect who doesn't comprehend that, like, perhaps these kinds of initiatives are being conducted in line with, like, the Cuban government's interest in direct correspondence to the best of, you know, people's ability without, you know, transcending any boundaries.
Perhaps you should stop listening to people who have no close association with any of
the subject matter that they're discussing and are simply just doing the most unproductive
thing possible which is sharp from the sidelines.
I think I know where this chatter is coming from.
Bad Empanada was critical of the flotilla, so he said he will do something better, simply
fly there and raise awareness.
Three days later, he made a video and said, I thought about doing something and then I
decided against it because what's the point?
He will churb about you instead.
This chatter exemplifies this attitude.
Yes, at that point, and I don't even disagree with Bad Empanada fucking complaining about
China not doing anything, Mexico not doing anything, and being angry and resentful, but
But the reality of the matter is, at a certain point, when your Maoist larping gets to a
degree where you're literally just attacking and undermining any sort of humanitarian initiative,
saying it's simply for cloud or it's simply a popularity contest or whatever, how are
you any different than the sex pest, sex pestany?
You're saying the exact same things, at least he's more honest, that he doesn't give a fuck
what happens to Cuba.
You on the other hand, claim ownership over caring about what happens to Cuba, and the
The only thing you're doing is chirping at people who are trying their very best.
That's it.
It's really funny.
Whenever people also say, oh, this is a publicity stunt.
It's like, yeah, no shit.
You fucking idiot.
That's like half of the, that's half the battle.
Hello.
You think people don't know that like even the, the Samud flotilla and numerous other
initiatives such as that weren't publicity stunts.
Of course they were publicity sons.
The whole goal is to break through the blockade.
It's not like fucking Greta Thunberg and a bunch of other people were going to be able
to bring in enough humanitarian supplies.
The entire point of it is to showcase the living standards in Cuba and what the American
government is doing to Cuba.
And it's not without any sort of consequence anyway, you know?
Getting increasingly more difficult.
It's getting increasingly more difficult than basically.
Assume that you have the best interest of others in mind, and aren't just simply fucking
chirping.
All you're doing is lining your fucking pockets by complaining about this.
To a bunch of delusional altars, who, as I understand it, are not doing anything at
all other than fucking chirp at the people who are trying to do something, anything.
Speaking of the conditions on the ground, I will be talking to someone from Havana this
Friday at 2 p.m. Pacific. She writes for the belly of the beast. These are Cuban journalists
that oftentimes have English reporting directly out of Cuba.
There seems to be a point of diminishing returns for being an ultra long-term subscriber. Too
many turn into insufferable cynics who behave like wreckers I can't imagine
doing any in-person organizing with them. Don't worry you don't have to worry
about them. They don't do any organizing at all. Because anyone that actually
spends, anyone that actually spends even a little bit of time organizing would
never speak like this.
They don't even go outside.
The least they could do is donate their dollars off of Hassan Bats, lob the charity.
Yes.
It's just, it's again, it's the same, it's the same issue.
It's the same issue with speaking over the Palestinian population.
The Palestinians love the fact that people were putting their lives on the line to go
and break through the Israeli blockade, okay, that Westerners were paying close attention
to what was going on and symbolically trying to break the blockade to the best of their
ability. They loved it. And the same goes for the Cuban population as well and the Cuban
government as well. This is like the, the last ditch effort when you're going up against
the American government. I don't have 20, 30, 40 million dollars in an oil tanker at
my disposal and a naval fleet that I can use to secure to ensure that my oil tanker makes
it through the American blockade, right? I don't.
On the one hand, Chatter asked me if I'm speaking to the American government, and I am.
I'm speaking to American politicians who are making this demand, right?
On the other hand, we're trying to do our very best to help out.
Stop listening to people that are chirping from afar.
And you can say I'm doing the same thing as well, but at the very least, my chirps are
in line with the people that I seek to help.
I'm trying to channel their frustrations.
Ever since Bad Empanada said he's not a communist, he's just an American hater, a lot of stuff
started making sense over his criticism of American activists.
of
That part bothers me. Why do people fight against your advocacy? Because they're content creators and so am I
But I live with that shame every single fucking day of the week
So I try to do the most with my influence and I try to do the most to work within the confines of
Permissibility, I try to do the most with fundraisers and activism
Okay, they don't have that shame
They masquerade as the purists the moral purists who are infallible
That's it. They don't have to feel that shame every single day. I guess they don't feel that shame at all as a matter of fact. The shame of being a fucking
yapper.
And just making money by doing this all day every day. And I guess there's a comfort in that.
I know you think you don't have, but you have oil checker kitchen, bro.
Trump is worried about.
Oh, Representative Jasmine Crockett went on MSNOW, formerly known as MSNBC.
You got to see it.
Badam Banana might be legitimately insane.
Badam Banana did call out for Zoran's assassination.
Somebody needs to do it.
It would be so funny, but I'm really trying to attract a certain crowd with this goddamn.
Who cares, man?
I mean, he's, he's based, dude.
He's so based.
Like at a certain point, you got to realize like you're, you're dealing with a person
who has significant mental illness.
like that's it sometimes is uh sometimes easier to fucking understand what's
going on
jasmine Crockett yeah jasmine Crockett essentially calling teller you're gonna
and Colbert Larsen saying Trump and the CBS are the ones that are telling the truth.
For a while I was eating up the bad end, but on a content, tune into your stream. Perfect
moment, you were talking about it, and your advice was to go touch grass and it worked.
Yeah. I think there are people to the left of me that might have a disagreement with
my methods. Obviously, my methods, I think, are the best possible way forward. If I didn't
think that I wouldn't be doing this. And that's fine. Like reasonable disagreements on how to achieve communism now versus, you know, a sequence of reforms and at least until we develop class consciousness for the American proletariat is one thing.
What he's doing is entirely different. What he's doing is what he's doing is being a fucking wrecker.
he should spend every waking moment
putting actual Zionists in his fucking cross-airs or
you know people who are fascists in his cross-airs
at this point I don't think it's even accurate to call them to the left of you
I don't know
it's just disastrous
What? LGBTQ nation never has to probably get more votes if they abandon trans people,
but they haven't.
What?
Why is this calling me out?
Trans people would not be safer on our common hairs administration players said late last
year.
What?
Ugh, whatever. Who cares? Yes, you're right. I'm transphobic. I'm secretly in the tank for Donald Trump. You got me
If only if only I was all of those things
He said on a post a year ago that he doesn't even want to convince people to watch the videos that is useless to get people to
Stop watching you to watch him. I think his brain broken. He's a nilus at this point. He was always an island
But he wasn't a malignant force.
The problem is, as I've talked about over and over again, there are a lot of cranks
in this community as well.
Something I've known for a very long time, right?
And unfortunately, cranks don't think about the most appropriate measure to take.
They just want to be outside of what they declare as like establishment politics.
They just want to have heterodox thoughts.
That's why they find themselves fooled by the likes of Jimmy Dorr, the ACP, Tulsi Gabbard,
and now Bad and Banata sometimes.
It's ultimately not that relevant or not that important.
This is the maximum amount of cloud I've given him at this point, Mike.
Representative Rokhan and Thomas Massey will force a house vote.
next we're gonna bipartisan war powers resolution targeting us involvement in
Iran
I don't watch you often I'm a union organizer for the International of a
major US Union also part of one of the big socialist orgs I disagree with you
on stuff but I appreciate the work you do bring people in I've had young men
come up to me trying to be a part of the union they say it was because of you
specifically they say they wanted to get involved and I'll always appreciate that
you make my job easier I try to do my best is there actually 33,000 viewers
feels like way less considering chat speed well you done did it now now
people are gonna start spamming because you said chat speed they're currently
28,503, uh, chatters.
Is this speed a little bit better for you?
Uh, I activated the bots.
Now that you caught it.
You were called out in the beginning of this FYI watching it now.
I actually really like his videos.
What the fuck is this? Sarcasmatron?
What is this?
I wish it were about oil.
Oh, is he gonna say it's not about oil
and I'm wrong to say it's about oil?
Is that what it is?
Let me lurk in peace, ass hat.
People don't seem to get on screen speak and change of your scrolling. Yeah
Anyway
Did you use Crockett Defender? No, I I did but I didn't watch it
Anyway, let's get to um
We're gonna be moving in half an hour to go link up with Bernard by the way
So we'll have um, I love you do but most of your shimmers you talk about what other shimmers think about you
Yeah, that's what I did for the past
five hours and 14 minutes
Isn't that crazy
You know you can use the rewind function if you actually subscribe
You've been subscribed previously for 26 months
I don't know if you know that but you can subscribe to the park of our guys in service and use the rewind function on
Twitch
Where you can find out whether or not that's the case
Sorry, I was triggered. Oh, don't have to be I'm just saying you can be kind and rewind
Trey Yinks says remember in addition to Iran's nuclear program three core issues of concern on American Israeli visuals Iran's expanding
Policic Missile Program, support of regional proxies like Hezbollah and the Houthis,
the crackdown on protesters earlier this year.
The crackdown on protesters has nothing to do with Trump's calculation, has nothing
to do with Israel's calculation.
Okay?
Imagine thinking either Trump or Netanyahu care about Iran's crackdown on protesters.
What about anything they've ever said or done would give any thinking adult that impression,
just half as liberal ornamentation tacked on at the end?
Yeah.
5 minute interview with Bernie like last time? Yes. Hopefully we're gonna get a
longer one soon.
It's gonna be another short one.
Please finish the grand video. No, there was another thing he said about China.
Let's hear what he had to say about China.
Of course, China should be one of cooperation instead of one of opposition.
I mean, because that's what it is already.
We just pretend that it isn't.
I mean, one, I think we pretend that because it's good for the military.
Industrial complex, politically for some people, I think they want to see a continued
polar world in which we have to always be in some form of aggressive almost war
posture much like we had against the Soviet Union which I just see as
absurd because China we rely on many of the cheap goods China builds China
relies on us to buy them we have a very integrated economy which we pretend
is not happening. I will just say that for shipbuilding, we are a nation with two seas
on both sides of us. The Navy has always been very important. We have in living memory
created a Navy that is powerful, but frankly doesn't really, doesn't effectively conduct
It's a day-to-day operations in the most efficient manner.
We need smaller ships.
We need more frigates and we need more destroyers.
And we have ceased doing it.
I mean, recently, I mean, everybody saw
that Trump administration wants to build battleships again,
which is just, I mean, literally absurd.
The battle of Yeltsin Straits is going to happen.
That's right.
We're going back to Jetta.
Ships the line, man.
Yeah.
So for me, it's a matter of we do need a substantial Navy,
I think, but less about the one we have now
is built to project an immense amount of force globally.
I think realistically, a Navy that
would be suiting our needs would be one that would essentially
be able to conduct itself almost as like a Coast Guard
in more methods.
Without losing the capability, I mean,
I would love for us to be in a world where I don't think that we require, like, our carrier fleets,
but I don't think we're in that world quite yet.
But I don't think we're in that world at all, actually.
But I do think that when I talk about expanding the Navy,
what I mean is building a lot of smaller ships that are more effective in day-to-day operations,
and just more efficient.
right now we have early Bert class destroyers acting as frigates they're they're they're
good they function well it's a great ship it's a great hall but they're they have big
this is the worst China talk I've ever fucking heard in my life I thought he was gonna talk
about like why it's stupid to try to fucking go to war with China without bringing up like
frigates or whatever you know what I mean he's just fucking a navy nerd like that is
the type of shit that make people go oh here we go this guy's a fucking op for the record
main is still a ton of shit building in the state specifically for the Navy that's why
he's talking about it we make ships here and I I understand but you know if you're gonna
You're gonna be a fucking senator, you should also talk about, I don't know, other uses for steel, like, building out high-speed rail or something, you know?
B.I.W. Bill Shipson is one of the biggest unionized employers in the states, a huge issue, yeah.
They're calling this the Hassanabi edit?
Wait, Bernie's coming on live like IRL, yes.
Democrats flipping sexist recent polling from the University of Houston shows both James
Taylor Rico and Jasmine Crockett within the margin.
I gotta pay I'll be back to most likely Republican opponents in that race.
And Trump is so freaked out by the situation in Texas that he is uncharacteristically pretty
silent issue about it, refusing to endorse or Republican candidate in the primary campaign,
using instead to keep his powder dry and leave his options open.
I just haven't made a decision on that race yet. It's got a ways to go and I have it. He's a good man. John is a good...
I like all three of them, actually. I like all three. Those are the dumbest races.
He likes them all. How hard to choose. Why would he endorse a candidate now when early voting in Texas has already begun?
Trump is kind of scared it seems. He is scared of the Democratic candidates in Texas. Scared enough that he doesn't want to insert himself in the race and back a single candidate who might go on to lose the general election.
And Trump has every reason to be scared of either Democrat in that race. I mean, James Tallarico has exhibited an ease in weaving faith and morality into his message that's really broken through.
Attempting to appeal to a coalition much broader than Democrats in a state where you typically need Republicans and independents to win.
And as I mentioned before and at the top of the show,
Congressman Jasmine Crockett has been holding
this administration's feet to the fire
at every single chance she gets.
She's held them accountable on their treatment of children
who are imprisoned inside a Texas detention center.
She's held them accountable on their botched release
of the Epstein files, including in a hearing
with Pam Bondi just last week.
You're spending more taxpayer resources
arresting journalists than you are prosecuting pedophiles
and creeps.
completely don't get how it is that you're sitting at the top of DOJ, because you don't seem to be good at your job.
There we go.
Certainly not holding back.
Dozenham Crockett has even introduced a bill to rein in Trump's FCC and stop it from censoring critics to push a political agenda.
Agenda. All of which makes it incredibly ironic that CBS is citing Congresswoman Crockett as part of their decision to bend to Trump's agenda and
censor her opponent. And I'm very eager to hear what she has to say about all of it.
joining me now is Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett of Texas. She's of course a candidate
for U.S. Senate. There's so many things to talk to you about. Damn, they are, they're aggressively
pushing it, huh? I'm so grateful you're here. Let me just start with some of the news from today,
which I just outlined. I mean, in CBS's statement on what happened with Colbert's show last night,
They mean check to you. I mean, they said this the show was provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal to
We're trusting CBS now
God damn dude like Israel's favorite broadcast their CBS news
Fucking hell
We're trusting the Trump regime at MS now
KW making it clear that Crockett is a controlled off Ingram. You're actually fighting for the
right of Jasmine Crockett to be heard on CBS car. Yes.
From a two tier system of justice for the pioneers, it may feel like weaponization, but
that doesn't make it so you're actually fighting for the right of Jasmine Crockett to be heard
on CBS. Why are the Republicans so aggressively in the tank for Jasmine Crockett, bro? They're
They're laying it on two fucking feet. Bro, look at this. They've all been chirping. Look,
look, can't believe that two rich white men would conspire to deny equal air time two
weeks out from an election to a black woman like this. The unmitigated racism against
jasmine for u.s. is disgusting
that it's it's i don't even know what to say it's crazy
this is not inviting any suspicion for any of the jasmine crocus stands
no suspicion at all guys
urgency and exciting sources u.s. military's informed the white house of
his readiness to strike iran starting from the end of this week
that's really what the rule
would require ironically that is correct
mister chairman
you don't look like an authoritarian to me but you know they don't really know
what that means but they love it how they're calling trump authoritarian as
they're on television like in a true authoritarian regime you don't get to go
on TV criticizing the dictator. That's not how it works.
It's just crazy. It's crazy. So many, so many right-wing accounts have been chirping about
how everyone's being raised the jazzy, Crockett. What's even worse is the fact that the Dempsey
Republicans actively in a tank for a Crockett and are like, hell yeah, she's our girl. Fuck
James Tallarico. It's just very weird. It's very odd.
Morning, everybody. It's cold out here. I don't know why it's on because they see her
as an objectively weak candidate. That's the reason why they did robo calls, urging Jasmine
Crockett fans to call Jasmine Crockett's office to literally run for the Senate seat. That's
it. And it's not like James Tallarico is a shoe in, right? I'm not saying that at all.
But they calculate that James Tallarico will be more difficult to defeat. Don't look at
my previous messages, I goon for you. Okay. Yes. They realize that Jasmine Crockett and
what she represents is establishment, Democrats style campaigning, and it will be infinitely
easier to defeat. This is not about her being a black woman, by the way, before people try
to make it about identity. It's not about that at all. Okay. The Republicans are looking
at this as an easier candidate to defeat. That's all this is. This doesn't mean that
Tallerico is going to win and they're terrified of Tallerico actually running up against their
candidate. It's more so about who is going to cost less money to defeat. Okay. Stephen
Colbert's interview with Texas state representative James Tallerico has earned 5.3 million YouTube
views and counting since the late night host was blocked from airing on TV,
fearing retribution from the FCC.
Tellerico's campaign raised $2.5 million and 24 hours as a result.
For years, Jasmine Crockett was everything that the firelift claimed that
they want in a leader.
That's not okay.
A brilliant civil rights attorney, a fierce advocate of voting rights, a woman who stood
in committee hearings and dismantled Republican talking points with surgical precision.
When she called out Trump and the Republican party, a progressive far leftist erupted in
applause.
When she became a national voices democratic party representing the future of a multi-racial
democracy fighting for the working class she was held as our democratic superstar.
when she was con.
Chorus
is the chorus content creator for the record.
Being it, that was when she was their microphone, their frontline soldier,
not when she became their candidate representative.
Jasmine Crockett announced she was running for United States Senate
praise from the far left oddly not there.
Instead, they gave their support to her opponent, James
Hilo Rico, a two year middle school teacher, youth pastor and state representative.
A man who's listed of accomplishments while respectable, pale, in comparison to Crockett's
record as a practicing civil rights attorney elected official of both the Texas House and
the United States House of Representatives and National Party leader who served as co-chair
for the Harris Walls campaign.
America's far left is backing this man who has sinned in the sky.
I'm gonna be honest with you, if Jasmine Crockett used all of the fucking smoke that she has
to put a class first narrative out there
to also simultaneously offer smoke
to Israel doing a genocide.
I would have no issues.
I would have no fucking issues whatsoever back in her.
I would be celebrating back in her.
It'd be fucking awesome.
I don't care about both of these candidates all that much.
like I'm more sympathetic towards James Tallarico because I think his messaging is better. It's
more in line with what I believe. It's more in line with what I want Democrats to say
and do. They're both lackluster on the issue of Israel. James Tallarico has spoken more
convincingly on Israel's sheer cruelty. Jasmine Crockett, as far as I've seen, has had more
of a pro-Israel posture, but at the end of the day, when you ask them what their policy
prescriptions are, both of them say, uh, we won't give them offensive weapons, right?
We won't give them offensive weapons.
That's fucking bullshit.
Only Talarico's acknowledged the genocide and vowed to withhold the U S support and
funds for such harm to civilians.
Meanwhile, here's Crockett defending Israel's page or terrorist attack in Lebanon that killed
and maimed many, including children.
started out tonight by repeating this refrain that Israel has a right to defend itself.
Israel has just invaded Lebanon.
Michael Treacy.
Israel is now intimating that it could attack Iran.
So shouldn't we be looking for a little more than just these platitudes about Israel having
a right to defend itself?
What is the limiting principle especially when the U.S. is the one providing the armaments
for Israel to wage these military campaigns, as you know, having voted for the National
Security Supplemental back in April, which underwrote Israel's war effort.
I absolutely did vote for it.
I voted for that along with every other supplemental that was available.
And I will tell you this.
It is important that people understand what diplomacy looks like, and it looks like the
fact that this relationship between Israel and the United States has existed since before
I was born.
guess what this relationship will continue on in perpetuity even after
I'm gone. And so when you look at Israel, I think it is important that
people start to talk about the fact that the state of Israel versus their
leadership because right now or when I went to Israel, I know that the people
were protesting Netanyahu because Netanyahu was reforming the courts. In
addition to the fact that Netanyahu was under investigation along with
people in his administration. Sound familiar? Does it sound like somebody else
that you know it sounds like Donald Trump to me? Somebody that has reformed our
courts courts that have decided that he now has a level of immunity that he
should not be entitled to based on our laws as well as somebody who is under
criminal indictment as well as somebody who has criminal convictions. And so
different people do their votes for different reasons. But for me, when I'm
looking forward and I'm trying to figure out what is going to happen if for
some reason let's say we say well you know what you had your democratic
election and we just don't like your leader so we will leave you will they
give permission to our allies to leave us sorry as I she's cooking she sees
history and ignores it only living in the present
if God forbid Donald Trump come back into power and then they excuse me what
But you think I'm like, what, a representative in the House of Representatives or something?
What power do I have to fucking speak out against such atrocities that are unfolding?
Hello?
What a good attitude to have.
Very healthy one that I would like from my elected representative.
And then that leaves us more insecure.
So I mean, everybody has their reason for why they do stuff, but I will also tell you
because the issue today has to do with the fact that Iran ended up firing
missiles over into Israel after Israel invaded Lebanon but is Iran Lebanon or no
but this thing it's a spiraling catastrophe that the Biden administration
has done nothing to reign in let's be clear when the attacks which I will say
everything that happened in Lebanon or the initial attacks at least that was
more calculated
and it was more uh... it was it was specifically intended
for who
for terrorists
correct
i mean you got a clock for what you're saying i'm not i don't follow
has below it
so israel was attacking
hasbala
correct they've done a ground invasion into lebanon now they have now done one
but to be clear
they were attacking hasbala
who is a terrorist organization correct they've been in the entire country they
bomb they rude
They've bombed the country.
So you think everybody who's been killed in the Israeli bombardment has been Hezbollah?
I'm telling you that what I am saying is that at least when Lebanon, we talked about
what?
They had the Pagers, correct?
And so they were literally more calculated and trying not to do-
Those Pagers blew up in grocery stores and a little girl was killed.
I understand and I'm not disagreeing with it and I want to be clear.
No one should ever be okay with war.
Have you voted to fund it?
No, I did not vote to fund war.
What I voted for-
Yes, you did.
You voted to supply Israel with armaments that they're using in their prosecution of the
war.
Do you understand-
Huh.
She's so far left, why are we supporting her?
No, no, we are.
According to this guy who also posted this today, we are far left.
Anyway, where were we listening to this?
Blasting wealthy donors and proposing a $10,000 contribution cap, but he still accepted a $15,000 check.
One from Republican mega donor, Marion Adelson.
Yes, the same Adelson who poured $100 million into pro-Trump efforts in 2020.
Black women are celebrated as symbols, but not trusted as leaders.
I think guys like this like where I want to know what his take was about Cory Bush like
how many, how many things did he say about summer Lee? For example, like if that's the
only thing he cares about, which, you know, in this circumstance, like it's just, I don't
like, I don't, I don't like this counter anyway. I think it's like a fucking stupid counter.
It makes me look bad in general, but like, dudes like this never speak. They never speak
gone in on Omar wait oh they have he has spoken I didn't support either one and
for the record I support Bell for Moe and Wesley Bell now go cry about it oh
God oh oh such a fucking grrrr okay fuck this guy this guy can suck my dick dude
Oh my god. Oh my fucking god, dude
Yeah, this isn't about fucking identity politics at all even though that would be stupid
Yeah, oh this guy is I mean this guy is a is a servant of Israel like let's be real
Oh my god. Oh my bad. My mistake my mistake
I didn't realize a servant of Israel was talking shit my B
My bad
You know, I apologize
Am Israel hi am Israel hi
So sorry so sorry for for speaking out of turn here didn't realize a dude
That is getting the APAC bag was over here talking about this shit. Where's the APAC criticism on Belle from him? Oh
My god, this guy fucking sucks. Oh fuck this guy. Oh my god. This guy is literally just a straight-up op
Brother, what are you even smoking? Have you had to meet a leftist with a remotely positive opinion on Crockett?
That's the point lives trying not to do identity reductionism challenge impossible f you oh
Oh
My lord this guy fucking sucks these people should be called records 100 times more
They're not records if you want to be a record you have to be a part of the movement
They're not a part of the movement
The only movement they're a part of is the movement of Israeli funds going into their fucking wallet. Okay, oh
What a gross piece of shit this guy is oh my fucking god. Oh my fucking god. Oh
Oh, what a monster.
Correspondent creator tries his hand.
Need to stop doing shit.
Oh, disgusting, disgusting.
you should hit him with a two-cent clover you're looking dead in the camera and run
the fuck okay calm down
Yeah, oh my god, we cannot negate the fact that Hamas is refusing a ceasefire option.
Really encourage y'all to expand your sources beyond US Dinos and Perils Propaganda in my
I'm a shocker surprise you don't assault my intelligence or make unfair assumptions
The bulk of my coverage goes around to zero news and democracy now. Yeah, I don't think so man. I don't fucking think so
Hey, hey as long as you get the bag am I right it don't matter it don't fucking matter if
Trump is in charge if you know, we you put a weaker candidate against the Republican as long as you're getting that fucking bag, right?
Ugh gross fucking gross is a full-circle jerk of chorus creators. Yeah, I know they're all nutting
Lucky for us these guys have no motion. I mean though they are getting the bag
you know 8k per post or whatever the fuck chorus pays them but perhaps but
perhaps they should fucking focus on more productive things, you know, if they
really want to defang the Republican Party. We brought back here to Texas to
help fund our Texas public schools. All right. Ms. Crockett, campaign finance
record show you have accepted donations from pax and companies like Lockheed
Martin, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and J.P. McMorrigan. In 60 seconds, how do you keep corporate donations
from influencing your vote? 5312, he said. You want a yes or no answer? It depends on what's in
the bill, but I'm very open to court expansion proposals. All right, let's talk about campaign
finance. Mr. Talarico, you have criticized the political influence of billionaire mega donors.
record show you accepted money from Texas sans pack which lobbies for expanded casino gambling and it's backed by billionaire
Miriam Adelson. Can you explain the exception that was made there you have. Yeah, this is his weakest element. This is the reason why I was skeptical of him.
for the record. This is why I
was sus on Tallerico initially.
But he's answered this before.
Corez is your enemy, that's reality
until AOC gets elected.
Yeah, lucky for us they have no
motion, so I don't even have to
worry about them too much, you
know.
60 seconds.
Yeah, I've never taken a
contribution from Mary
Medalsen, never met her, don't
know her, don't plan to meet her.
support legalized gambling in Texas. I think it's good public policy. I think it'll bring
good jobs. I think it'll bring desperately needed tax revenue into our Texas public school.
Also I disagree with him on this too. Obviously, I think it's fucking really bad, but yeah,
to that, to that I say, no, I'm good. I'm good on that. Where's the brother? What's that brother?
where oh fuck I don't have it anymore
ah shit here we go again
yeah that doesn't work boomer tag limit reached
rules we rank 43rd in the nation in per student education funding and I think
we're losing business to Louisiana and Oklahoma, that business can be brought back here to Texas
to help fund our Texas public schools.
All right.
Ms. Crockett, campaign finance records show you have accepted donations from taxing companies
like Lockheed Martin, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and J.P. Morgan.
And 60 cents, how do you keep corporate donations?
Objectively incoherent to call a pro gambler a leftist, at least under capitol's economy
of scarcity. What? I am not pro gambling. What are the Indian tribes and texts once
open a casino that has a casino in LA relevant context? Yeah, I know. And the Texas want
that shit too. Um, responding to a question about pack money by saying I'm doing it for
the school is pretty bad to be honest. It's not even any kind of pack. It's a pack that
Mary Madison is associated with and his response to that was I didn't take Mary
Madison's money for Israel I took it for gambling but I guess I guess like
Texans want it I don't fucking know anyone against gambling and prediction
Marcus is just scared of us poor people getting rich oh shit dude true I didn't
think about it like that
Did you see this yet Lamal?
I hate these videos like I don't even find entertainment value in them for like haha AI
I slop is so crazy
Like there's plenty of better a isla. I don't know why I just like
It irks me the the Jeffrey Epstein AI slop fucks me up like the agartha AI slop is
infinitely better than this shit in my opinion your mistake is thinking you got a goddamn choice for it
And your mistake
Thinking that you're in America
This is
Okay, you got me, you got me at the end, I was wondering what he was going to say,
because, because, because, was like, you got to watch your the end though, you got to,
payoff was fine. God, I'm so simple minded. I'm so stupid. I'm so fucking stupid. Is this
a historical documentary? Yeah, this really happened.
It's just, you just endorse the high live on the internet. I mean, I watched AI slot before,
like I just don't like the AI slot with like Jeffrey Epstein in it.
Um, I just don't I don't like that. That's not my favorite type of AI. I'll be honest
Hey, what's good?
Marchie poo is here. Marchie poo is here everybody
Every time you fucking laugh at AI slop, I don't renew myself. Don't do it harm again. I need it
I miss hogwash need some bullshit to happen on tiktok soon
We're going to be moving over to, to the event location where we link up with burn art.
I thought you were greeting Bernie like that.
Tom Mars is a fear and edit of him by Keres.
Oh, nice.
All right.
Let's see this.
John Fetterman erupts on a Sompiker and AOC and viral meltdown.
Oh, God.
Oh God, I hate this fucking I cannot believe this guy if I didn't know like if I did not know
this dude was
If I did not know
About this okay about his like Wesley Bell support I
Would not be as angry. I don't give a fuck about him being like oh my god
It doesn't matter like, you know, you're being racist to Jasmine Crockett. Whatever. Who cares? I heard that a million times
But I think it is
Unbelievable. I think it is completely unacceptable to do shit like that
Mallory talk about the steam deck shortages in the US. So maybe we may be blessed with new inventory mallord
Yeah, you're fucked March bought the last one dude Hassan piker
What is this bro is never getting invited to other universities. It's not I'm trying to convince my wife
You're worthwhile source for analysis and you're at her smack in the soundboard every 0.7 seconds
Okay, I'll be honest guys
I got the university bug. I'm gonna be doing I'm gonna be doing Stanford. I'm gonna be doing University of San Francisco
I'm gonna be doing fucking Northwestern. I'm gonna be doing a bunch of fucking universities. Okay
Yale
that's right there's a lot and they fucking love the soundboard I think yeah
Stanford UC Berkeley please I mean I don't know if you're fucking if you're a
part of like some student organization that wants me to go out there you know
let me fucking know come to Europe pretty please bro I invited you to yell
several times and your bitch ass ignored me okay well I'm going now so calm
down. Careful don't get frame mugged. As soon as notice how when you guys fucking
mentioned that I do the soundboard excessively I start hitting excessive soundboards.
Be sure to install a soundboard on your phone so you can still use it during your speeches.
You're stimming with your soundboard. That's right I am.
I am, I am, wait, oh, there was this part to be fair, as far as the fairness doctrine,
it's still alive and well here.
Here's Jasmine Crockett on denying APEC funds on friend of the show, Joe Reed's show.
Joe Reed is now a radical, by the way, that's not even a joke.
really it's important to them that the candidates that support not take APEC
money. Are you declining APEC money in this? Yes this is I don't even know why
we are having a conversation. You know there used to be that they were like
trolling online and they were like oh look at this look at that and then they
were like okay well never mind. And then they were like oh well wait a minute so
she do it it for free and it's like actually you know I just want people to
do this. I want people to be calm when they feel like they're being gas-lit
they probably are progressives really it's important to them that the candidate to support not take APAC money
Are you declining APAC money in this? Yes, this is out of
APAC money is bare minimum by the way. How do we invite you to our university to go to the Uke University? We can use you bad here
Would you have to abide by the FEC rules on Twitch? No
Also, I'm joking anyway. I don't have any fucking FEC
restrictions or FCC restrictions rather have my joy the soundboard is how much you enjoy
the other happens when chatters get annoyed is the same feeling as telling a bad pun.
Thank you.
By the way, ever since I said I'm going to be going on a bunch of college campuses to
speak, there's a chat has not stopped spamming their own university that I must go to keep
spamming guys.
I think that'll do it.
No, you have to fucking invite me.
Okay.
to a part of the student organization that you're a part of or an alumni of has to like
invite me so I can fucking go and speak. I can't just like rent. I'm not randomly showing
up the college campuses chat. I'm speaking at events. Okay. Hello. Like what do you want
me to just like fucking roll up to your, to your college campus and be like, what's up
guys? What's up and do this the entire time? Hey, hey, let's take photos. Okay. Let's do
Let's take photos. Oh, yeah. All right real quick flip your camera over. Let's flick up. Let's look up
Let's look up. Let's look up. Is that what you want me to do? I
Have nothing
Yeah, I know where where is it where is the tripod?
It's probably look back there look at the the the cabinets
They probably put it somewhere my mom loves moving stuff around.
I go to a very small school one student me and I'd like to invite you to my school my
house you can stay hang out we can talk it would be really fun for me give me a shot
I'm good loud bathroom noises, but here I got this for you.
Chatter's name was loud bathroom noises.
Okay. Did you congratulate baby brother Tautic on hitting 30? I'm going to
congratulate him later.
The soundboard sends me back to the don't know sound days. I missed the fantasy
star online song used to play. I don't remember that. What the fuck?
Soundboard has been matching up perfectly with my rivals.
My team got cooked and you were spamming the false sound
RIP to your team chatter. All right, let's watch Kyle
Defend my honor. There's a lot of stuff going on in the world today because of Trump
I mean you have the Epstein files coming out
We now know for sure that we're ruled by a shadow government of money interests who are pedophile
billionaire sadists and um, I don't know kind of a big deal that
You know the worst people in the world are actually ruling over us and their rapists and their pedophiles
and they're billionaires, and they view us as subhuman.
So that's going on. That's one huge thing.
The other thing is, Trump starts a new war seemingly every other week.
That's kind of a big deal.
The other thing is, I don't know,
fascism now coming to America,
where you have just the worst stories ever
when you look at what the Ice Gestapo thugs are doing
and how they're ruining innocent people's lives
and breaking up families and arresting people
and giving them no due process, destroying the Constitution.
All this stuff is kind of important.
All of it is important. Never mind the economy now falling apart because unemployment's going up and inflation's going up and
so we got all these things going on.
And what is the so-called Democrat, John Fetterman, doing?
He's going on Fox News and Fox Business and he's playing Patty Cakes with him.
Patty Cakes, Patty Cakes, Bakersman. I love Donald Trump all day long.
This is what he's doing, okay?
So he goes and talks to Maria Bargaromo and he says something here.
pay close attention because the thing he says here may be one of the single most depraved things
I've ever heard a democrat say listen to this you've said to me in the past that there's rock
within the democrat party when it comes to anti-israel rhetoric among some members i mean congressman
alexander obama of cortex recently suggested that the u.s should consider re-evaluating military
aid to israel can you imagine all they did was kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people
and wiped 90% of Gaza off the map, could you imagine cutting off the money and the weapons?
Like, what the genocide in Gaza has taught me is people, there will be some percentage of people
that will debate literally anything and everything. That there is, I used to naively think we're in
enough of a shared reality where if certain things happen we'd all go, yes, that is bad and it'd be
universal, right? Nuking some country with all innocent people in it, yeah, that's bad. I now
don't think that's true because we basically saw the functional equivalent of nuking a country
with innocent people and fucking 30 percent of people are going ha ha based i love that we
should do more of that if you're against that you're actually a freak i mean it was it was stunning
tell us more i agree you know i've kissed i've got consistently that's part of the
rot in the democratic party so understand they invited john fenerman on to bash other democrats
and to bash Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez because she said,
hey, there should be some conditions on the weapons that we give to Israel.
Now, by the way, she has maintained a position that other left-wingers, myself included,
have criticized her for, where she goes, I'm okay with giving them defensive weapons,
but I'm not okay with giving them offensive weapons. I think that's a bullshit distinction.
I think at this point, if you're giving them defensive weapons, you're granting them impunity
to get away with whatever they want to do offensively, right? If there's no consequences
for what they do, then you're effectively shielding the people who are committing a genocide.
So, but that's her, she actually has a so-called moderate position, and they look at that and go,
huh, you're crazy. Obviously, they should be able to loot the U.S. Treasury whenever they want,
get any sort of weapons they want at a moment's notice. Part of the rot in the Democratic Party.
You know, why? If you have to pick a side, why would you pick the side or defend Hamas or defend?
I ran in a way. I'm going to jump off a bridge. She didn't defend Iran, and she didn't defend Hamas.
She didn't do either one of those things.
He's just making that up.
That is just utterly made up.
He has, like, this guy's, at this point, he's a robot for the Israel lobby.
And they, like, pre-program him with dumbass talking points, and he just regurgitates them
without any thought whatsoever.
She didn't mention Hamas.
She didn't mention Iran.
You did.
You mentioned it.
And I think her concern is, I don't know, maybe the 90-something percent innocent people
who were killed in Gaza. By the way, even Israel is admitting that their own numbers
is like we killed 83% innocent civilians. That's their own numbers. Now that's bullshit.
It's actually over 90%, probably over 95%. But they're even admitting that. And you
can't look at that and go, hey, that's bad. He can't do it. He can't do it. He's basically,
he had a stroke. He has brain damage. And now he's this robot pre-programmed with Israel
lobby talking points. Stand with Israel. I'll never vote for any kinds of restrictions
on aid. Whether it's military, financial or intelligence, they're ever going to be
any restrictions on that. He said, I'll never vote for any restrictions on aid. So look,
take his word for it. You want to bomb a hospital? Totally fine. They bombed every hospital in
Gaza. You want to bomb a school? Totally fine. They bombed every school in Gaza. You want
to bomb UN buildings? You want to shoot people in the face if they're waving a white flag?
I want to stop.
Ben Boyle, man, thank you for the 20 gifts in.
Are innocent children?
All this stuff they did, all of this stuff they did, he goes, yeah, that's fine, whatever,
no big deal.
So understand something, if they were to nuke Gaza, he would be like, yeah, I never, never
want to do any restrictions on them.
And he has to nerve to pretend like he's the moderate in this conversation.
Jesus Christ.
And now for here we are we can have peace again. That's become part of the serious problem in our party
What we can have peace that becomes part of the series is he saying it's bad to have peace because that's what that sounded like to me
That's what you're just on that and now for here. We are we can have peace again
That's become part of the serious problem in our party
Yeah, my interpretation of that is peace is bad
We don't want that but he's not done yet now he's gonna go directly at not only aOC but also Hassan piker
And I think that, personally, that the idea of completely unconditional aid, no matter what one does, does not make sense.
At least we know there's one angle of attack, John Federmann can't fucking get AOC on, and that's to say,
Oh, AOC doesn't speak too good.
Oh, AOC not good speaker. No speak good AOC.
able to genocide in Gaza? She talks about a genocide but I have a Jerusalem post headline this week
that Iran is shooting protesters in their hospital beds. Oh my god so when it comes to what Israel
did to Gaza you can have pictures, you can have videos, you can have first-hand testimony, you
could have 78 articles in reputable publications and they go nope, nope, there's nothing to see here,
la la la la, there is no genocide, I don't know, talk about it, I don't know, talk about it, I don't
I don't know what to talk about blah blah blah blah everybody shut up. I can't hear you. I can't see you
I can't hear you. I can't see you. That's what their reaction is when we have all the evidence, but you got
people making up stories about protests in Iran zero evidence and they go, uh,
Obviously Iran. I'm not kidding. They're now claiming more protesters died in Iran than
Palestinians died in Gaza over the past two years. Yeah, that's true. They are saying that it's so crazy
like
Think about how much bombing
took place in Gaza over the last two and a half years and they're fucking saying
that the Iranian government did that in two days okay like there were a lot of
killings okay that's not that is 100% true anyone that denies that is being
fucking ridiculous okay they killed thousands of people it is utterly in
humane is totally unacceptable America will of course show up and if they
actually get their ambitions across Israel's ambitions across they will kill
infinitely more in Iran but the idea that they killed like 80,000 or 90,000 or
whatever the fuck people are now saying is so insane oh my god Hassan get your
As out of your ass both things would be true. You think they killed 80,000 you think the IRGC killed
80,000 Iranians
I'm not even talking about them going to the hospitals. What the fuck are you talking about?
I'm talking about people saying that they killed 80,000 Iranians
80,000 Iranians were killed in two days by the IRGC
No, it's not confirmed, but as an Iranian, I believe it.
As an Iranian, you believe that the IRGC killed 80,000 Iranians in two days, 80,000.
What Israel killed in the most conservative estimates in two and a half years by reducing
Gaza into fucking rubble, you're saying the Iranian government killed that many people.
You nominate a slave to be executed.
entirely different conversation that we're having. Okay? I'm sorry, you and I cannot
have a normal conversation if you genuinely are saying that the Iranian government killed
80,000, not like slated. Those don't count. Yes, they haven't. What do you mean? We're
not I'm not defending the Iranian government, chatter. What the fuck's wrong with you?
Don't move the fucking goalposts!
Jesus Christ!
What I'm defending is, hopefully, some understanding of consensus reality.
Okay?
The last time the United States of America killed 50,000 people in one day
was when they dropped two nukes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on two separate occasions.
Do you understand?
There is no weapon powerful enough to kill 80,000 people in a matter of two days.
That's it. That's the only way that you can do it.
So unless you think Iran was able to develop fucking nukes
and then deploy it in the middle of like Tehran or Isfahan or wherever, okay?
You're out of your fucking mind. It's ridiculous.
Anyway, my car is here.
I actually don't know how we work around this, having zero shared reality anymore.
I actually don't know.
You can make the most insane hyperbolic claim ever.
As long as it's directed at an enemy country, you don't need evidence.
People will regurgitate it. They'll believe it. The US media will repeat it. That's what happens, right?
In fact, Adam Johnson wrote a great article on this a few years back
And that's the point like so if you talk about like North Korea, for example
You can make up anything and people will run with it
You can make up anything and they'll run with it because you don't need evidence because they're in there. They're they're the enemy
They're the other
So, you know, the burden works the other way like you say something and they have to disprove
No, we didn't do that yet. They have to disprove it, right?
When it comes to allies, you can have pictures and video and all the evidence in the world. They go, no doesn't count
Or there's a good reason didn't happen, but if it did happen, there's a good reason for it
So shut the fuck up. That's how it works. Yeah, I mean
Absolutely, why is she so eager to criticize and by the way to criticize Israel?
But I don't really recall them saying anything as I ran was it was executing thousands of thousands of their protesters for that
by the way, by the way, let's assume for arguments sake that what they're saying is true
which it's not the reason to criticize Israel and not criticize Iran is because we arm Israel we fund Israel
They're supposed to be our satellite state, right?
Well in that scenario we have control over what they do
So we should try to pull the leash a little bit when it comes to Iran. We don't arm them. We don't fund them
They're not our vassal state. So that you know us
Critiquing that is no different than us critiquing. I don't know something that happened in the year 1874
Like there's no relevance to it. They don't listen to us. We don't listen to them like there's no relationship there
So even if what they're saying is true, which it's not it still would make no sense now
There was never any genocide in Gaza absolutely and there shouldn't be any conditions for aid for Israel because they were in
It's repeating it. There should never be any conditions for aid for Israel. That is so depraved. What happened there was so atrocious
If you try to make up a sadistic scenario in your mind, just make one up and say it out loud, they probably did that.
You know, the one that we discussed the other day is they use these bombs called thermobaric bombs or vacuum bombs.
They go up to—they make it go up to 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
They instantly boil your blood and they make you—they incinerate you. They evaporate you.
You just don't exist when they drop one of these things.
3,000 Palestinians totally disappeared because they used these thermobaric vacuum bombs.
barric vacuum box. Okay? They did that. Nobody even fucking talks about it. We talked about
on this show, nobody even fucking talks about it, because the horrors and the atrocities,
they become so fucking commonplace that nobody bats an eyelash. You know, and they do this
all the time, like during big events, it might have been during the Super Bowl or during
some big event, they were like, yeah, go bomb one of the refugee tent cities. Just go bomb
because nobody's gonna even talk about it, because if we kill 100 or fewer people a day,
nobody will bat an eyelash. I remember early on in the genocide, they went to one of the
refugee camps and bond a building with a hundred people in it murdering a hundred people and they literally said the IDF said
Yeah, there was one Hamas guy in there. So we did that and well, I remember Wolf Blitzer going
What even Wolf Blitzer who's pro-Israel was going you you did what you killed 100 people to get one maybe what?
So I mean, it's just crazy to me that he can sweep all that under the rug not pay attention to it
But then again, he literally has brain damage. He literally has brain down
He's not like Lindsey Graham where they have probably pictures and videos of him doing Lord knows what with you know people
He doesn't want released, but this guy he's got brain damage, and it's not a coincidence
He got brain damage and became pro maga. He got brain damage and became more conservative
He got brain damage and became pro Israel that is not a coincidence
That is not a coincidence any time your brain gets damaged you go in one direction in one direction only and there shouldn't ever be any
conditions for a for Israel because they were in an existential war
war. That's part of the problem with the very anti-Israel part of my party. So call that what it is.
Why wouldn't you can't just stand? And why would you align yourself for a raging anti-Semitism
and very pro-Hamas people like Hassan Piker? The extent to which they just make shit up
is truly astonishing to me. And again, you're allowed to get away with it. He's allowed to get
away with it, to just say, Hassan loves Hamas! Hassan cares deeply about the innocent civilians
in Gaza who've been murdered.
That's who he cares about.
And by the way, while we're talking about Hamas,
let's remember that there's 32,000 to 40,000 of them in Gaza.
Maybe.
Okay?
There were 30,000 to 40,000.
Maybe.
There were 2.3 million people in Gaza.
Okay?
And they killed hundreds of thousands is the actual number.
Even Israel knows.
Even Israel knows.
Yeah, we bulk killed civilians.
We mass killed civilians.
Stop trying to make this about. Hamas.
That is a fucking red herring. Everybody knows it's a red herring.
Everybody knows it's not the core. When Israel came out and announced,
all right, no food, no fuel, no water, no electricity,
no nothing for the entire Gaza Strip.
That was them saying, collective punishment.
Yes, I love collective punishment. Kill them all, starve them all.
And here's this idiot going, why are they defending Hamas on the other side?
Nobody's even fucking talking about Hamas except you guys.
Oh my God, holy shit.
Hamas people like Hassan Piker. And now why can't you just call it what it is? You know,
there's a rot in my party standing with pro Hamas people like that, whether it's even in the
New York Times, they're fascinated with him. So, I mean, where we are and call this is and stand
with Israel. That's ours. He's not even, he's not, he is even speaking English. Did he stop
speaking English at some point there? So, I mean, where we are and call this is and stand with
Where we are and call this is and stand with Israel
Bro, bro, he did not heal from that stroke. He did not heal from that motherfucking stroke
I'm telling you right now. Well, what it is, you know, there's a rot in my party standing with pro Hamas people like that
Whether it's even in the New York Times, they're a fascinated with them
Fascinated where we are and call this is and stand with Israel
That's our special ally and there was never a genocide and when there is a genocide where you're executing tens of thousands of people in Iran
Why not and call that out too? Oh my god
He's actually making the argument that Iran is doing a genocide as Trump is
Preparing the bombers preparing the warships about to bomb Iran to smithereens do regime change break another country in the region
He's over here running cover for the fascist imperialist warmonger maga regime going yeah, Iran's doing a genocide go after them
Jesus Christ man Jesus Christ look at his face to his face right here. It looks like he knows
He's he's just a sad pathetic little propagandist. That's what it looks like John Federman knows
By the way, there is a rot in the Democratic Party
The rot in the Democratic Party is all the elite scumbags like John Federman who are still ultra Zionists
Despite the fact that Zionism is apartheid. That's what it is
Zionism is supremacy Zionism is this idea that we're gonna have a multi-tiered system in Israel
Where if you're Arab, you're lesser than. If you're Muslim, you're lesser than. You don't count the same. You don't have all the same rights
That's the whole idea and for some reason everybody seems to easily get right away that apartheid states are bad when you talk about apartheid South Africa, for example
but
We're supposed to grant one special case of
In a apartheid system of a supremacist system of a two-tiered system. No
I don't fucking do that because I believe in secularism and I believe in democracy and I believe in equality and human rights and
You can't have an apartheid system and have equality and have human rights and have democracy
You could support secular democracy or you can support fucking ethno states. You can't have it both ways
Okay, but here's this guy supporting a fucking ethno state right in front of our eyes and pretending Iran's doing the genocide and Israel's not doing the genocide and
barely fucking speaking
All right, we're here well, we're not no we are I know we're not
Um, I wanted to I wanted to let Kyle cook real quick chat. You can usually cameras fine
I wanted to let Kyle cook um I was watching
and it was really good.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, we are on our way to see Bernard Sanders.
You guys might know him, he's a little known guy, independent senator for Vermont, caucuses
of the Democrats around for president in 2016 and 2020, and we are going to be conducting
a very short and sweet interview with Vermont Senator Bernard Sanders. He's in the state
of California this week. He is going to be appearing in Stanford alongside Ro Khanna
to speak about AI, but today, today's events are of a different note. Today's events are
going to be around Senator Bernard Sanders speaking out against billionaires. Which
is one of our favorites. You son of a bitch. That's crazy. You wanted to keep it going.
You wanted to keep it going. That's crazy.
Yeah, that's crazy that you did that way his face lit up. I got so excited. I thought it was I don't even know
The jet even here. I don't know Chad. Did you guys hear that far? Oh, they did I can't fall I can't I
Get I've gotten some DMs by the way about what the sound
I said it up.
Oh, yeah.
I did not set it up, Chad.
Please stop.
He would never do such a thing.
Voices are central.
Well, are you trying this episode?
Yes.
They want it not to exist.
I know you might find that hard to believe.
Okay.
Yeah, by the way, I was wrong on the kneecap interview.
That's not going to happen today, obviously.
It's gonna happen like next month.
I just thought it was supposed to happen today.
I don't know why.
Fricked it up.
I had the date.
Do you want me to tell them the date?
18th, right?
Yeah.
Of March.
Yeah, Bernie Sanders is gonna be talking
in Los Angeles, California today
at a kickoff event for the California Billionaire Tax Act.
Billionaire tax now, vote yes on 11-3-2026.
Gavin Newsom is obviously against the billionaire tax in the state of California.
He's actually actively undermining the argument for the best of his ability.
Bernard Sanders is going to be joined by a bunch of SEIU people, the good folks over
at the SEIU, and Unite here as well.
And he is going to be delivering a speech on why we must be taxing the billionaires.
Of course, this is a fascination of mine as well, only because I'm jealous as a profoundly
wealthy individual myself.
I want to take their money away so that they're no longer so much wealthier than I am.
That's it.
It's just a purely selfish reason for why I want to do it.
Don't touch the Twitch streamers' salaries, but please take all the money from the billionaires.
Sorry, I was actually misclicked.
Misinput.
Yeah, even and out a little bit, you know what I mean?
Also, why are we the only people that have to engage in Sigma Grinds set on a daily basis?
Why can't we?
Why can't the billionaires engage in Sigma Grinds set a little bit?
You know what I mean?
So that's where we're at and we're on our way to this location.
Oh my God, dude!
It's going to be a wonderful experience overall and I'm sure a lot of people on Twitter are
gonna yell at me by saying you're not yelling at Bernie Sanders nearly enough
in the five-minute interview that is allotted because I'm washed I'm chopped
I'm chopped huzz this is insane our Sanders team can only give me five to
seven minutes of a conversation even though I did directly tell his team
come on man he did two Theo Vaughn's at this point like one Theo Vaughn and I'm
I'm like, alright, like Theo Von, very big audience, great to expand your reach to an
apolitical audience, but every now and then, every now and then you gotta have a convo
with your people too, you know what I'm saying?
But regardless, I once again forgot to bring the Japanese Communist Party pin that I was
going to give him it's good I would have taken seven minutes or that would
have taken seven minutes if you explain yeah that's true that's true it's for
the best go back now we're late we're already we're not late but like we will
be late if I go back
Saj next time there's always next time
but the conversation that I'll be having with Bernie Sanders will revolve around the direction of the party
where we go from here, what is to be done, things of that nature
And how he feels about Gavin Newsom actively speaking out against the billionaire tax.
And why he wants to tax the billionaires?
Does he want them to grind harder?
Or not?
He would give you the same reaction that he gave you if you...
Ah.
That's true, he probably would.
Ramadan Mubarak Assalamu alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi.
Allah bless you and accept your prayers.
Puff leaking questions.
Yeah, now Bernie's team is probably watching.
We'll hear the questions ahead of time.
Then they'll prep him ahead of time.
You know.
You can see his phone reflection in the window.
He's on Bernie's Wiki taking notes.
The Bernie's hand is wiki.
Chip is about to have to start making a fourth decision before launch.
maybe more for 15 minutes after lunch
Pooters caught farted. Oh, it's fucking Haas playing sounds
Is Haas doing soundbites? Haas, please don't do that
If you're I mean don't do that while I'm interviewing Bernie Sanders. That's fucking crazy
That's crazy scatter
Please tell Bertie I named my pet Bert after him.
Please.
I got seven minutes, man.
You think I'm going to fucking use that seven minute window?
Of course I'm going to tell him that.
I'm going to say, yeah, if we get enough, if we get enough subscriptions to Parker Brock
passing service whoever gives the most subs gets to ask a question to Bernie
Sanders not kidding that's that joke please don't take that seriously
that's not happening please bro please first you said five now you say seven
sus yeah I'm gonna try to extend it to the best of my ability okay you finally
Are you gonna play ball with Bernie? Yes.
He is 855 years old.
And I'm gonna play basketball with him.
House came through.
Let's hear this fucking clip.
I did not set it up yet.
About what? The sound?
The sound where they say?
I set it up.
Yeah.
I did not set it up yet.
I think you would never do such a thing.
Boy kissers, central.
What are the three lines of the design you love, it is.
Yes.
That's worse than my sound, but it's even louder
and more disruptive.
That's crazy.
Playing that during the car.
I saw him dunking on Bernie.
Bernie's a Hooper, he's dunking on me.
the sun boards even better keep going house we're gonna have to explain a
200 year old man will faw means yeah no I'm gonna yeah I'm gonna play the boy

I'm 32. I don't know what FAMI is. Don't worry about it. I'll look your chop
history remember flies the liberator play the liberal sound bite
The boy kisser's central sound was what fried Fetterman actually?
Yeah.
Are you going to tell Bernie about clavicular?
No, I'm not gonna do that. I don't know why I acted like I was even thinking about answering
that question. I don't know what was wrong with me.
Did you come to UC Davis? Los Angeles, FrameMog, and Bernie the entire time? Bernie FrameMog's
me trying to be a friend here but the front left part of your hair is frizzy
my guy I don't know if I want to fix it before you get here no this is what's
going on
Pooters again? Is he playing fuckin' Fort Sounds again? Jesus Christ, Fort is top tier comedy.
I don't like it when I don't control the soundboard, I'ma be honest. I don't like it.
I'm going to ask Bernie, Bernie, what do you think about my broccoli cut?
Do you think I have Riz?
Oh, do you think I could frame Mod J.D. Vance?
That that sort of thing, like that's the line of questioning that we're gonna have here.
We're also quit, we're also almost there, we're five minutes out.
We'll take a fart noise over a hundred faws any day, my wife.
Five minutes out.
Front of your hair looks like my pubes, KKW.
Fuck you.
You don't have to read them all then.
I always, I can't help myself to have to read them all.
What is this?
What is this, Twitter of them, this guy's sending me?
You don't have to read them all.
Oh, an actual picture of a son of a soundboard.
I'll be back.
I can't believe how many likes that she got, bro.
People fucking hate the soundboard.
It made me start questioning whether or not
people were even enjoying the soundboard.
I thought people were enjoying the soundboard.
There's a level of social awareness that's not needed to control the soundboard masterfully.
Wait!
It's like, we often won't have them to hug last night though.
He's either Jasmine Crockett, Palazzo, AOC, and Bernie Sanders for self-serving Fighting
oligarchy tour.
Oh, it's about them?
What the hell yon thing?
Jasmine Crockett has never been a favorite of the left.
She doesn't even like the left.
Her hope campaign has been about herself and being black.
What about her policy, says Terrell the leftist?
Who is a black leftist?
For the record, before you fry me, I'm reading his statement here.
Okay?
There are five active congressional Democrats with an A grade from US CPR Action, US Campaign
for Palestinian Rights Action, writing Palestine into the Progressive Agenda.
And they are AOC, Rashid Tlaib, Summer Lee, Ramirez, and Inhan Omar.
The highest Senate member is Bernie Sanders with a B grade for the record.
Shouldn't be that way, but those numbers should be up.
There should be far more.
I forgot to watch the fraternity hazing video that I thought was really funny where the
fraternity hazing like police show up to the fraternity after like a fire alarmist pulled
There's something in there. There's like a bunch of kids doing Hell Week and it's so funny. It looks like
It's straight up looks like the weapons scene
Spoiler alert if you haven't seen weapons

Why is it so pretty? Bro, this is worth it.
This is like New York. This is Minnesota.
This is Minnesota weather. What the hell? Oh my god.
Wait, I should tell them that we're moving to the other side now.

Oh, Minnesota.

Sorry, chat.
Let me just grab my entire life back.
Good night.
Oh, thanks.
Sorry, chat.
Oh, thanks.
Sorry, chat.
Sorry for the floor cam chat.
We're obviously trying to be extra considerate.
We will not be decided in the courts, we will not be decided by our partners.
The future of working people of this country will be decided by the solidarity we show
show one another that I will let myself back together for justice.
This is called UNITED!
What a fire, no workers, no tourists in truth,
and love, if the president won't love,
I am such a pleasure job,
but why she can't hear her family,
and says she can't release,
and while the front-raised workers have come,
They made it the next day
A page of books that didn't feel
Signatures and a button
On the contacts of the thief
Who's so crazy about
They put the roadblocks
They fire a number on an old
On computers, here it is
They gave me an impulse to run out
For Joe Kelly, the Caesar's charge is
Who brought them all time
All our thoughts
Are simply for now, they'll never lie
For the young man, he never would
Okay.
Are you okay?
Hello.
Hello.
You want me to hear from you, sir?
Yeah, if you can please get my set up in here.
So, before you,
if you'll be able to, uh...
Can we get the shirt on over there once?
Yes, we do.
Yeah, I remember getting it done right here.
Right here.
Can you check those clothes?
Um, since we're here, I know around in the bunker.
Thank you.
Hey, Alex, what's good?
I'm good, we're live streaming right now.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
Wait, you're at CNN now.
Dude, I'm getting frame mod by Alex right now.
Look at that, he's taller than me.
than me. Yeah, you know what that is? You know it's frame-mogging? I do. I think you've still got the
wider show. Yeah, I'm frame-mogging you, but you're height-mogging. You're height-mogging. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's cool. How are you? I'm alright. Tired, but hopeful, so there's that. We've, you know, since the
days of me interviewing you, I feel like the movement that I try to represent is the best
of my ability has grown quite a bit. Look at it outside right now. Yeah. Yeah. So that's
exciting. Yeah. How's CNN? It's good. You're live for the record so don't say anything
crazy. I know. You got to get you on. You got to come on. I'll do CNN. Yeah. Clinton
News Network. You got Bernie today. Yeah, I know. It's not the Clinton News Network
No, no, no.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I know, that was a different era.
Yeah, that was, I mean, it's fun.
I was listening to Abby Phillips defend Zoran earlier on the panel.
I was like, damn, they still have like some interesting gets,
but I guess it's like, they pepper in some left voices as well.
Some of my friends go on there, like Emma Vigeland and whatnot.
So it yields productive conversation.
Yeah, and a lot of clips.
Yeah.
For people.
Yeah, it's good.
And I got my boy Donnie over there, Donnie.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, he's very good.
Yeah.
We're going to take advantage of their space after they're done with the interview.
How many minutes do you have with them?
I've gotten different answers from different people.
I've gotten different answers as well.
If they give me longer than me, I'm going to be so pissed.
It's like, what the hell?
Both are valuable.
No, I well no, no, no, that's not I wasn't even disrespecting CNN. I'm like come on man
This is the sir your people. This is yeah, how do you feel about this well actually think it's gonna?
I mean, it's gonna be tough and I
It's very clear to me that Gavin Newsom is not invested in
In pushing it through well the opposite. Yeah, he's actively active on reminding it
Yeah, so I'm gonna use every lever that he's got to try to get it out. Yeah, you know what I think is crazy
you got a similar conversation taking place in New York right now because like
that was one of the key polls of the Zoran's agenda which was implementing
attacks on the 33,000 wealthiest New Yorkers, right? It's a modest increase and
obviously you can't get that across to that Kathy Hockel. And what I find very
interesting about that conversation is that everyone's like well it's an
election year so she can't say that and I'm like but that's a really popular
Right like you should be running on that whole numbers for this is pretty good. Yeah, like people like
60% that's what I'm saying. This is like one of those things that's like
Universal it's one of those things that you can get virtually every night your donor cells for it. That's what I mean
And not even just news some but like even with Kathy. No, it's like what are you?
What are you worried about that you're like? Oh, it's an election. That's why I like when I hear Kevin O'Leary say stuff like that
when they talk about a capital flight, which is so, so exaggerated.
Like, people will move their headquarters around, but they still end up retaining an office in California.
Even if they move their headquarters around, they still end up retaining an office in California.
They still keep hiring in California. Even Elon Musk has done so as well.
It's not only that, but also, there's a separate solution.
It's an even scarier one. It's called an exit tax, you know
We got plenty of policies though that you could implement if that was a real fear
But I think by and large people already pay a higher tax burden here and they're not see argument against it
But I'm saying but like that there's a limit also the argument for it
Okay, because it's like you pay a higher tax burden because you're here
You pay a higher tax burden knowing full well that you're paying higher taxes here, but you still stay here because you're in California.
And I saw like a version of that. This is like anecdotal.
But I saw a version of that with like all these like podcasters and stuff. Joe Rogan moves to Austin, right?
And then all these other people are like, we're all going to Austin.
Like all these small business owners and, you know, small podcasters and a comedian.
And they fucking hate it.
They're like, it's been a couple of years now.
And for the record, Austin is beautiful. I love Austin.
However, it's still not California.
And also, if you're used to California, if you're used to Los Angeles, if you're used to San Francisco, San Diego, whatever,
and then you move to Austin,
I feel like a lot of the mentality of the people that moved there is dramatically changing
the culture of the city itself and making it not as great as it once was.
If you've ever met people from Austin, those people are some of the wokest people I've
ever encountered in my life.
It's getting to a point where like the actual legacy Texans are far more like Democrat aligned
than all the newcomers that are going to Texas because they're like, yeah, this is a free
area.
Yeah.
This is like a free, you know, patriotic place.
Are you Jasmine Crockett over James Talerico?
No, I'm a Talerico.
I mean, I am suspicious of both of them.
I'm not like very invested in either, but I think Talerico speaks more of my language
than Jasmine Crockett does, with the whole, like, it's not a battle between left and right,
it's up versus down, he's way more aggressive about billionaires in the way that he communicates,
which I like.
I think he's, they have a very similar position overall when it comes to Israel, which doesn't
go far enough in my opinion, you know.
I think Talariko's called it a genocide, I'm not sure if Jasmine Crockett has, but they
both do the whole inferno-bosses too, unfortunately, the defensive weapons, where they're like
like no offensive weapons to Israel, but defensive weapons, yes.
And from where I'm standing in the position of advocates in general on this issue, they
don't make a distinction between defensive and offensive weapons, and I think that's
a pretty logical argument.
If you're like, this country is committing a genocide, you know, you're not going to
offer them defensive weapons because the goal there is to stop them from doing an apartheid
doing a genocide, right?
And isn't that crazy that we can have this conversation now, by the way?
I feel like this was in mainstream news, this conversation three years ago would have been
unheard of.
Like people would be like, you can't.
I don't think you can be sending those things.
You've gotten plenty of trouble for some of that stuff.
Oh, I've gotten into trouble.
Wow.
Yeah.
Still do, but it's like, it's not, it's impacted so often so much.
And some of it is good because it expands the permission structure on what you can and
can't say, but then some of it's bad because then on the other side you got
guys like this one. And then you have like people who are actually you know
using the permission structure to move the conversation in dangerous directions
in the direction of antisemitism and hateful rhetoric and bigotry. But
going back to both of their statements, I use it somewhat of a litmus test. I use
like a litmus test, like it shows me that you're more tuned in with what the
demands are on your base, because Democrats are like 80-20 at this point, right?
They're 80-20, they're like no more no more partnership, no more you know, they're
doing a genocide, cut it out, right? So when I see someone who's running for
office, even if it's Senate, no matter where it is, from the lowest position to
to the highest position and I hear them still take
like a substandard approach or they try to do this thing
that Gavin is doing where he's like,
I'm not gonna take any APEC funding.
Like as though that's gonna get people to go,
oh yeah, okay, you're a real one.
Like that's the number one position
that we hear now from Democrats.
But I see it as a litmus desk for people
that are aware of the base,
are aware of the demands of the base.
It's great to have a great time.
It's great to have a great time.
What's happening?
Wait, really?
What's going on?
It just happened, right?
Are they missing out on a great conversation?
No, no, it's still fine.
It's just like pixelated now for some reason.
Let me take a few steps.
When do this?
Let me take a few steps.
Let me pace a bit.
The way it has come.
All the sims are still on. They're still working.
Audio is fine. It can hear us.
Let me hit the...
Yeah. It's going to say.
Oh, we're back.
That's strange. Okay, so that's good. Then we'll use this area. Hopefully
Do you want to swap the logs now just so we have them ready to go sure but before we do that
What that's crazy the clarity of vision now besides as opposed to literally two steps away two steps away is crazy. Oh
What's up? Yeah? Oh
He wants to give me was he here?
Oh, you can get a, oh, the backstage pass.
One PSA and then one overpaid CEO tax.
I don't know if that's what you want to do in real life.
Basically any company that overpays their CEO
is going to have to pay a monumental amount of tax.
It's like this in the pandemic that we have to take care of.
Love that.
You want to talk about it more?
Sure.
Hey, everybody.
Hi, Chad.
My name's Alex.
I'm a comms director at LA Alliance for New Economy.
Also known as Lane.
working on this overpaid CEO tax to check it out at ceotax.la. Basically the
California billionaire tax is great, but it's a one-time tax. What the
overpaid CEO tax is going to do is basically any company that overpays
their CEOs more than, I mean reasonable, they can define it like a massive amount
where basically have to pay a business tax. It's a base of a percentage of like the average, like the
media. Yeah, it's a medium salary. I have a new suggestion. Overpay them by giving them
anything but $1. Yes. So it's sort of weird. So what it is, is it's protecting? No CEO
should get even $2. Yes. So protecting the businesses, not the CEOs. That's how we sort
of get around it. Because like California, you know, oh, I don't live in California anymore.
I'm out of here. Yeah. I have to pay it. This, and so only the business operates in LA. They
have to pay the business tax. So like that's why we like launch the after Tesla's on earth.
Because it's like, you want to own the Tesla Diner, Tesla plays a big role, and he's at his access to that.
Oh, but it's not like partitioned off of like how much...
It's off of the Tesla...
Is it off of like the Tesla Diner revenue, or is it off of like...
It's just whatever he makes with Tesla.
It's just the Tesla owns the Tesla Diner, which is really funny.
Because I'm like, oh maybe he doesn't actually have any businesses here because all the Tesla Diner dealerships are not really dealerships.
ships. You don't really buy a car there. It's kind of like talking about it and then you buy it online.
This is the Tesla diners. That's a business selling. They're selling burgers there. Some of the worst burgers of all time I assume. No, they're awful.
Especially the robots serving you. I don't even have the robots. Someone said 35x the lowest paid employee. Wait, what is
happening? Is it back? Is it busted again? Sorry, there's a... Someone said robot. So I don't know if the audio got glitchy.
Okay, let me swap the mics.
Okay, well I got to pee first.
Okay, go pee then.
So you can swap the mics while I...
Okay, go do that now.
Get ready to go pee.
Go piss, go.
Night chat.
Night chat.
You can speak to them, you can tell them all about it.
Give me one.
Yeah, me once. I'm just gonna swap the mics over.
Alright chat box, we're gonna hear some changes in audio if you can even see me right now.
We keep fucking streaming out of these World War 3 bomb shelters.
Yes, I know.
I'll wait for that.
I'll just go back to doing that.
There's a little bit.
There's the area's cooking.
If there's Wi-Fi, that could help.
That would be helpful.
What I'm doing in chat, if you can even see me, or hear me,
I'm going to walk you through what I'm about to do so that you don't freak out,
but you probably can't even hear me right now, or see me.
So I'm talking to myself. Let me open the chat box.
We've got to run a purple haze smoke. We can hear you.
We can hear you. Why does it sound like a vigil is wonky? Okay, great.
It's kind of cool.
Interesting why that's happening.
I won't either way, you can't see what I'm doing now, but I'm changing microphones up.
You can use the little lav mics so that when Bernie comes and sits down with his on and
looks like an artifacting purple alien with him, at least we can hear them well.
So please hold while I transition the microphones.
Sounds gonna go out for a second.
Sorry Jeff, is that loud as fuck, my bad?
Can you guys hear me?
Hopefully you guys can hear me.
No.
Here, hold this.
Yeah, I'm going to try it.
Yeah, that was, that's crazy. I don't know why it's doing this.
Okay.
okay it's the spot that we were at before
we're trying to find the internet right
No, I didn't touch anything. I don't know what's going on I know no I don't know what's happening
yeah we're gonna fix it okay we're working on it I don't know what it is it's a very
strange phenomenon it's literally never happened before let me wait hold on before you I mean
while you're doing that I'm gonna fix it I'm gonna hit the fix ingest real quick
maybe that'll fix it but I don't I don't really understand why it's happening
like maybe there's interference with all the other equipment here you think that
could be the case
well we have a stadium backpack in here so it's supposed to be like
Oh, you guys are are you guys also live rock?
It's fixed I fixed the ingest it was an ingest problem I think maybe
No, you guys use all you use the same one. We'll bag you guys got
Nice. TVU.
He's on a live view as well.
Oh, he's on a live view?
Yeah.
How is the high vision? Have you guys ever used this bad boy before?
No.
No?
We're not in love with the high vision.
They just transition the high vision.
Okay.
It's on the Wi-Fi, not you.
Okay.
Alright.
I will tell you TVU is excellent. I'm not like I'm not promoting it for
Well, we'll see we're about to do a real test. Alex. I'm going to I'm going to Cuba
Yeah, we're gonna do like a aid mission
Yeah, and the real test of the backpack will be if we can
Oh for sure
Yeah
If I don't get arrested on the return, but that's what we're working on right now, next month.
Yeah. It's a tremendous undertaking, which is not surprising, I guess, even though right now,
even now, people can just fly out there. But as far as bringing in aid, it's very heavily restricted.
And Trump just recently decided to also make it,
he put out an executive order against boats
going off the port of Miami to Cuba.
And they're stopping that as well.
Like they don't want people just taking any aid whatsoever.
I think all the aid that they allow
is through church groups and state department
affiliated organizations.
So they have control over that a little bit.
And they can use that to further destabilize
government. Is there limits in terms of broadcasting? No, but from the Cuban side? No. No, none whatsoever.
The only limitation? Europe goes the other way. Yeah. Well, the limitations are right
now electricity grid, because there's a real issue with rolling blackouts, obviously, because
they've run out of oil on the island, but they're trying to up the, they have solar
panels like and they're they're you know they've done a lot of Chinese solar
panels in the last year or so I think like it's like 20 to 40 is a 40% is a 20%
do you know what I'm talking about? I think it's like 20% of their grid is now like
solar panels but there's it's I think it's just like humanitarian aid whatever
like the government and the people are in need of with the obvious exception of
oil. I would... Yeah, but Mexico actually is now going to be seen as like they said
that they would honor the agreement and continue flights with with back and forth
like enough jet fuel to go back and forth between Mexico and Cuba so you
can still go from Mexico. I don't know what the flight consistency was
from America anyway it's always been like kind of a problem yeah yeah yeah yeah
because there is no jet fuel on the island like they don't have any capacity
to refuel the planes at this point it's pretty really
think about it. It's like, while you're gone, we're moving this one to somebody else. Yeah.
I mean, yeah, they've always had the blockade is pretty gruesome. So that's
like a big part of them. Like our goal with the mission is to showcase
the everyday realities like that. Because a lot of people don't understand. A lot of people
don't realize that you can go to Cuba, like even right now. Like people don't realize that.
People don't realize that like tourism is actually very helpful for Cuba. Because like,
You know sometimes like local groups in Hawaii will say like don't do tourism. It's not helpful
like
But Cuba is the exact opposite where they're like tourism is good. It's like the lifeline of the economy
so
People are still doing that like a lot. There's still people going into the island even now
But I think most people are just like completely unaware of the conditions like
Havana, there's trash everywhere because like the trash trucks don't operate anymore
more. So like trash is piling on and then there's like you know medical
complications that come from that. So there are so many like unforeseeable
ways in which this turns him he's not here yet. I can see he's greener from over here.
His aura. You've been here burning before right? Yeah. Sure. Yeah.
I got it. You're gonna hold this? There you go. Or you can put it on if you want.
Well, don't forget it on the... I won't let you forget it. It's a magnet. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh yeah, true. True, true, true. I don't want to stand next to him. He mobs me. He
What are you what are you six five six four? Yeah
Hold on here. I'll put it on
Yeah
Boom there we go. This is the difference between talent. Okay. Talent doesn't know how to put this up on
I had to learn because March is incompetent. So you got it. Yeah. So you do it all that's the deal
I'd do it all. I have to do it all. He barely holds the camera, look at him.
Yeah.
Does she have a sweatshirt of your face on the back?
Yeah, this is my merch.
Very nice.
Yeah.
So what platform are you streaming on right now?
Twitch.
That's your thing. You're like Mr. Twitch.
Yeah, yeah. But they banned me the other day, so then I swapped over to YouTube for like one day, and it was really good.
And then I kept dual streaming after I got on band
but then it
Separated it like half the audience into two different places. So I was like I got to stay on one platform still for the time being
But you know, that's always a concern as far as like
Like the main twitch guy though, so what are they doing banning you?
I mean, there's still there's still outside pressures, you know, there's like no matter what happens
There's always gonna be a little bit of pressure especially on the issue of Israel
So like the ADL is like, hate me, John Linger, but it hates me.
Brings my name up all the time on every TV show that he goes on.
They've lost a lot of the influence that they used to have on stuff like that, especially.
But like I said, there's also the other, the downsides of it is that like they no longer operate like a civil rights organization.
in the day of the ADL was like, this is a hateful person.
There was a lot of trust established with that.
And there was weight to it, which is a good thing.
Like I want there to be at least some kind of watchdog.
And ironically enough, it's probably the moment
that we need an institution like that the most.
It's just completely abdicated its duties
and responsibility to go after primarily critics of Israel
I'm not people who are being instrumented like me. I'm you know
Combat and anti-semitism my entire professional media career
It's pretty crazy
Hello to your audience. Yeah
Um, what do you think? I mean you can't say who you like in any race, right? No. Yeah, I can break it down though
Yeah, what is your what is your breakdown? Do you think it's an unfair assessment that I gave the the james talerico jasmine crocket race?
No, I don't think so. I mean, I don't know. Honestly, I don't know enough about their positions on that issue to say definitively.
No, but like even on, even on like, it's more so their communication strategy that I think...
Yeah.
His communication strategy seems to be more...
It's what they do on the front door, yes.
Oh, okay. Hi there.
What's up?
What's up?
What's up?
How are you doing?
Nice to see you.
Nice to see you.
Nice to meet you.
How's it going?
Good.
Are you, who are you?
I just spoke.
Oh yeah.
You just spoke?
Who are you?
SCIU?
No, you're not here local.
Oh, you're not here local?
Okay.
What made you think you're not here local?
Oh, I didn't even know that.
Yeah.
See, I don't see any of that.
Yeah.
I see people for who they are.
You see faces.
You don't see branding.
Yeah.
That's cool.
What'd you start?
Oh, yeah
So what was he talking about, you know, a lot of people are gonna lose medical coverage I already lost mine
A lot of people don't even know about it. And so, you know, we're putting also awareness for the billionaire tax
A lot of these people need to start, you know, paying taxes just as we do. Yeah
And that's gonna help a lot for not only the economy but also you know these cuts that they made is it's
affecting hospitals ER's
And so I'm one of those affected. So that's why I'm here. I'm I'm talking on behalf of my
co-workers basically LAX I work there
I'm lucky because I have my partner like, you know, I can take time off and come and talk but some people they can't they're like
Paycheck to paycheck. Yeah, basically their voice. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry every
Every time you see me in LAX, I'm probably in a bad mood.
Oh no, no, no, I don't even pay attention.
I mean, we already know that people are going through stuff, so it's like...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're not TSA.
What is the UNITE here is for...
So we're a food and beverage.
Yeah, oh, okay.
Yeah, so I'm not going to share, basically.
So it would be in the food industry, you know.
Yeah, okay.
Are these actually condoned or the thought?
Yeah, it is.
It's about $10,000 a month.
Of course, the government doesn't cover it, right?
they cover like part of it, but now without that coverage,
like I have to basically put the whole amount.
Yeah.
But luckily the union has stepped up,
but there's people that are in worse situations than I am.
So, yeah.
So it's, thank you though,
for you guys like putting awareness to these and you know,
so people being to know and we can vote.
What do you think about Gavin Newsom saying
he wants to not tax greed and not tax billionaires?
I mean, I'm not focused on that to be honest.
I mean, my focus right now, sorry.
No, I mean, I'm not focused on that.
I mean, people are gonna talk,
but I'm focused on these, you know,
putting these on the ballot so we can vote.
Yeah, all right.
I think it's gonna pass.
Yes, I mean, I hope so.
I mean, a lot of people should be voting for that.
Yeah, it's very popular.
Like, just in principle,
it's like one of the highest popularity bills out there
there in virtually every state in the country so yeah it's just turns out
republicans also really want to tax the super wealthy who would have thought I
mean we don't get it why do you think that's the case the case of what why do
you think that even though republicans democrats independence overwhelming to
support taxing billionaires we still seemingly don't we still have a hard
time achieving that result. Why do you think that's the case?
It's politics, you know, politics. Money talks, you know, politics talks. But I don't know,
like people has the power. And as long as we're united, I think we can, no matter how
much money is out there.
What's the secret menu item that I should be put on when I go to LAX?
Secret menu item? No, I don't know. They won't make anything extra, that's for sure.
Yeah, all right, good to know.
I mean, we can't run out and get something that quick.
No, no, no, not run out, but like, you know, mix and match.
You don't ever do that.
You don't just like mix and match a little bit.
My future is all fucked up, right?
Yeah.
I mean, a lot of, you know, some of the terminals
are closing because of the Olympics.
You know, they're rebuilding the whole thing.
I mean, they've been building this thing for like 2008.
I was working in 2008 when I graduated high school.
And then we're here now.
they're still building that thing.
It's like, it's politics, it's money, so.
Yeah, they never stop building it.
And it's always jammed up every single time, it's crazy.
I feel like it would be quite beneficial
if they had some kind of public transit option
or more public transit options to an out of LAX.
That's the point of the building.
Well.
That's what they're trying to do.
I mean, that's ultimately what they're building.
It's one day.
Well, yeah.
It's supposed to be done in the next year or two.
Hopefully.
It's supposed to be done before 28, we'll see.
We may have kind of a hard deadline of that Olympics.
Yeah.
We'll see.
I don't even know what LA is going to look like.
I probably won't be here when it's happening.
I'll probably escape Los Angeles before it happens,
because I feel like it's going to be bad luck.
That's what happened in 1984, that everybody left
and there was no traffic.
Wait, really?
Yeah, the people that live here at the time
said it was the least amount of traffic of any period.
It's like, do you remember that Karmageddon thing?
Do you remember that?
Were you here then?
No.
In 405 they said they were shutting down part of the 405 and they advertised it as Karmageddon
weekend and get out and then everybody left and there was no traffic.
So that's what happened with the Olympics last week.
We'll see if it happens.
But I feel like even now during like holiday season it's not like the traffic diminishes
a little bit but it's still there, you know.
Really?
His LA traffic is so bad.
Is that the LA-28 Commissioner right now?
Yes, I do.
Casey Wasserman.
He's dropped out of everything else, or at least taking his name off of stuff.
Not his name off of that, though.
Well, he's got the backing of the board still.
Yeah.
Because they had a Kenford McRack day in Brentwood in his previous class month.
That's what they added to the board.
Nice.
Yeah.
To make sure he's solid.
Yes.
Yeah.
drops out and they're helping to point who replaces.
And then the question is, which is worse?
Well, they're going to bring in another person affiliated heavily with Jeffery M. Steeves.
It's because we can't have a whole group like, uh, give it a pass.
Even more things, they're all bad.
I'm a never-kever, so...
Honestly, though, the more things they add, it's like more cars you see, I mean...
Yeah, no.
I don't I don't get it. That's when they say oh we're gonna add these we're gonna add that like we see more cars
no lanes lanes don't actually
Lanes don't do anything to improve traffic density
Because you still get bottlenecked at the point of entry regardless and then the traffic still moves back
It's it's the biggest lie ever told like
By the time you build it the number of cars have already caught up that to there's just more traffic in general
The only thing that successfully diminishes traffic density is public transit, like having a diversity of options that are, you know, taking in 25, 30, 40 people at a time, if you have metro, railway, things of that nature, and buses.
That's the only way you can actually lower traffic density, which would be better for car drivers anyway, and people don't understand it. I don't know why.
Well, because in places like LA, a lot of people feel like the public transit isn't safe.
I know, but that's also partially, again, it's all interconnected obviously, but that's
part of the reason why I think that Gavin Newsom's got a very tough time on the national
stage in general, because you've lived here your whole life, right?
So you know how wonderful Los Angeles is, you know how wonderful California is.
People do definitely exaggerate the worst aspects of living here.
They think it's like bedlam, they think it's a nut house, you know, people are on fentanyl
everywhere or whatever.
And the problem is there's an exaggeration around that sort of stuff, especially with
like crime and whatnot.
But then there's also the very real problem of homelessness.
And the only way to, just like we talked about public transit, being the only mechanism
to alleviate traffic density, the only way to solve combat homelessness effectively
is through a housing first homelessness policy, where you like try to knit the problem in
the bud at the point of it beginning to, you know, at the point of it becoming an issue,
which is people getting priced out of their houses.
And then on the other end, you have to put people into permanent shelter.
And neither of which we're doing, even though Californians like myself vote for ballot measures
over and over again where we're like, yeah, we'll fund anything that will, you know, build
more shelters or build more housing.
And then it never gets done because I think the real estate lobby is a little too powerful
in the state.
And on top of that, there's a lot of people that are there is there is definitely a lot
of people that are deeply invested in making sure that this system doesn't offer solutions
because they make money off of basically holding out like there's so many
there's so many empty lots so many empty laws that were supposed to like
where you're supposed to build shelters and they just never do it and it's
beneficial because they don't really want to I guess they're just like they you
know they offer favorable contracts the friends big donors and then nothing ever
it gets done it's very it's a big disaster not only that the rent is really
high. There's people at LAX that I like paycheck to paycheck. If you go to the
parking lots there's people sleeping in the parking lot. People that I work with
you know like there's a mother that I work with and she has her kids she
sleeps at LAX and she leaves her kids with family members. She doesn't see them
until the weekend so it's like a lot of people in that situation. So I do feel
lucky that I you know I have the help of my partner but there's people that
really don't have anyone. Yeah, so that's what I'm thinking here. So yeah, that's what you brought
up is actually the the invisible homelessness isn't it, is a huge part of the you know, 700,000
homeless people that a lot of people don't realize like most, I mean, I forget what the exact
percentage is, I think is like 30, 40% of homeless people have a job. And many of them just are
They are a devoid of shelter, like permanent shelter, but they're couch-surfing first.
At first, they're couch-surfing.
A lot of math kids.
Yeah, a lot of math kids.
They live in, they stay in their cars, they live in their cars usually.
And it becomes unsustainable.
That process is so unsustainable that it just becomes increasingly more difficult to recover from that.
And then you move, I call it like three tiers of homelessness.
I might have even talked about it on your show.
I was debating one of these Republicans where the third tier, the final tier of homelessness
is when you inevitably see like the most visible aspect of poverty, the most visible aspect
of homelessness, people that have been devoid of shelter for like a decade plus and they're
self-medicating, you know, they obviously have like clear signs of mental health complications
and that's the most difficult, that's the hardest group to find the adequate help for.
Right. That's the most interface that's to think about.
Yeah.
They don't think about the other part, which is just too bad.
Yeah.
And that's the thing.
Like when they see that, they attribute that with like a constant presence of crime too.
And in some instances, there is a, you know, they can, there can be crime.
Sure.
Like I am in the house I used to live in there was a homeless encampment
right outside of our house because it was there was like a like a public
there's like a like a state facility near it and they fire bombed it like there was like a
turf battle basically and yeah I mean that's I'm young I don't really care that much but
but it's certainly not great.
Yeah, you guys are first.
All right, we'll move away, you do your thing.
Yeah, good seeing you.
I'm down, text me.
Let's retest the connection over here.
They're both going to do the interviews before us,
I think, right?
They're doing what's going on.

Should we go upstairs?
Should we just wait down here because they're gonna be doing interviews and stuff and I don't want to like
That's true
Sorry, is there a different quiet location that we can go to so we don't impede on what's going on?
Well once they're done, they're just out.
Okay, but then they're gonna do it.
Which one is that?
No, it's KTLA I think.
I mean I'd rather do you guys last.
Yeah, no, no, I know, yeah.
Yeah, well wait, I'm saying like, we don't, because we're live streaming all the time, so I don't want to like...

Jersey Mike's is bossing.
Talking about Jersey's right here.
Yeah, as a Jersey boy.
Jersey-Mikes is the only chain reliable institution that I've found that is closest to a real
New Jersey sub.
It's far superior to every other sub-chain.
Someone that might know I'm off my birth control.
Good to know.
Thank you, Chadder.
That's awesome.
Holy shit.
Is it private equities in the midst of ruining it?
No, no.

and then, or five minutes now, probably.
And then we'll get in there.
Sockty said he wanted us last
so we could get the most amount of time.
That's what I like to hear.
Nobody just goes for double mail?
Okay, all right, single mail, two single mail, that's fine.
But the rest of the stuff has to stay in.
So what's the over-undraining
in the picture with Bernie Sanders?
I'll ask him, like, if you want,
I mean, we're boys.
You spend 30% of your seven minutes
asking him for a picture of me.
We're fucking boys, so.
Hey, I still use Nikkei.
What?
You think I came because of the interview?
I just came to get a picture.
I thought you came for the interview.
My mistake.
Yeah.
Just start with the picture and then fuck off.
Yeah, and then just drop the camera.
You're like, my job here is done.
All the years I put into this, it was for aura farming.
Did he get frame mug Bernie Sanders?
Not that I would want to actually.
No, you can't frame my Bernie Sanders.
I would scrunch myself up out of respect
and not frame him.
Yeah, you can't, no, you cannot frame him
on Bernie Sanders, bro.
What are you saying right now?
That's not how this works, big dog.
I'm gonna give him the Nazar Bonju.
Here we go.
What?
It's going to be like, thanks.
The train was sweet.
How do you just get on the jersey, Mike?
I got it.
I'm going to keep gifting him stuff.
Every time I see him, I'm going to be like, I have a gift for you.
Well, probably thinks you think he's your grandpa or something, and I don't know.
Are you gonna go for a neurotypical hug?
Yes.
No, I'm not.
I'm gonna fucking nail it.
I'm gonna crack his rib, bro.
And then he's gonna crack me.
I'm gonna nail that interaction you don't even fucking know it's gonna be so good all
the all the all the authors in the chat that we're like saying oh we're not in the chapel
like in the Caleb Herron, take the comments,
like Caleb hates him.
They're gonna be like,
Bernie loves him, no, I hate that.
No, we're gonna say yeah, afterwards.
Okay, calm down.
So it's like, the conversation gets like really serious,
really deep and like halfway through,
I just hit him with that.
I didn't even want to keep going or is that going to fuck you up?
Oh, no.
Chatters are so funny, they're back-seeding, they're like,
might want to make your way over there.
Oh, really, chatter?
Imagine they forgot about us?
Yeah, actually.
Yeah, that'd be crazy.
I'm like, oh dude, Bernie's on stage already.
He's sorry, you fucked up.
You're getting nothing.
Are they saying Bernie?
Dude, he's on the stage already.
It's over.
That would be crazy.
Wait, is he on stage? KW? He's on stage KW?
No. No. No, shut the fuck up. That's not even the runner show. He just went crazy with it.
Oh my god, you fucking assholes. They said he's on stage already. In the chat. Oh my fucking...
Y'all are...
That's crazy that's crazy damn he's doing way longer than fucking ten minutes what the hell
that's good yeah I know that's good that means you're gonna get 20 minutes yeah no that's
It's not gonna go 20 minutes.
That means that Alex is fucking scooping my shit right now.
He's scooping my ass.
Not like that.
I just mean, like he, damn it.
was he supposed to go up do we know when he's supposed to go up I know but
like no it's all vibes based yeah the vibes are gonna be not great
He needs to add that fuck-ass piano riff with the horn on that soundboard
Bring him home have a commie sleepover
I was on your cortisol levels are spiking no
At this point I'm not
Um, this is not something that I'm like, uh, nervous about at all.
I do want to make sure that it goes well, as far as like the limited amount of time that
we have, the time constraints that we have, I'm trying to get a good sound bite.
But take a beta blogger, uh, you should do a desktop stream with Bernie.
That's what I want to do.
I want to do a full sit down.
I talked to his team about that.
I'm getting weight-mogged.
I'm getting time-mogged.
I'm getting time-difed.
I should have grabbed one of those.
Can you inhale a jersey like Seb
before they call you?
Put it down.
I really did this to Mike's mother.
Big Burn overly disrespecting you with his weight, Papa? Okay.
That's not the case.
Alright, let's go back there.
Oh, damn, okay.
Just grab this ahead of you.
What's going on?
That's how they should be in there.
They're cornered.
We'll put this in here for now.
Seeing it, yeah, Chad says damn seeing it stole the minutes. They did they stole our minutes
We're going to get him back.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, the first time we showed you,
like, the first hour or so,
that's when we had to go to 17.
I don't know if you can find it.
I think it's like three-wire.
Three-wire?
Yeah.
Thank you guys.
Should we, we should, we should set up, we should set up, or wait.
Alright, don't talk.
Okay, they're clearing right now.
And when they do, where should we do it?
The lighting here is not very good.
No, but I'm saying we should just expose for the bad.
I'm sorry.
So the reason why I'm sorry is that I'm not here to carry you back to the bathroom.
I'm not here to carry you back to the bathroom.
It looks like something's happening right there.
It's kind of wet.
Yeah, that's so much better.
Yeah, let's do it here.
Perfect.
Boom.
This is a...
Dude, we lucked out.
Yeah, just like these two, maybe?
Which one is, what's the?
No, that doesn't move.
Oh, this is perfect.
Should I sit here or should I sit here?
Is that a power move?
The burn steam is so accommodating.
Like this.
Yeah, I'm going to look up there.
Wait, I got green?
Okay, we're good.
We're good now.
Yeah, it's perfect.
You can even tripod it if you want.
Okay, it's going to be short.
Is that Tom or what?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
I don't want to say nothing.
We should get him on.
We should be like, yo,
yo, pull up.
It's gonna be like, I don't want to talk to him.
We hear him in the background.
You need to clear the green room now.
Yeah, he just runs.
Have you seen that Bernie running GIF?
He pulls one of those, he's like,
we're out of here.
People run.
I don't know why there's like green patches every now and then yeah I'm gonna hit the I'm gonna fix the ingest before we do this interview but I think maybe just like don't try to move I guess
They're trying not to move around I guess.
I'm going to hit the ingest real quick chat. It's going to.
All right. It already is.
It's so funny because it happens for one second, but for the moment that it happens, everyone
in the chat is like, it's over.
Stream is done.
Where did he go?
They're like babies with no object permanence.
They literally will be like, where did he go?
Is he ever coming back?
Chat, your cortisol is spiking.
Yeah.

I'm not gonna fucking walk out right now, Chad.
Does the song really think he exists outside of the stream, sad?
That's true, I don't.
When the stream ends, I die.
When the stream ends, I just...
Stand in place.
He's coming.
Okay.
Oh, God.
Monka.
I
Jank knows Tom Morello, I know all the all the og like
all the og left
figures and all of them like they
like
People above my general people other than my generation. They're all young Turks fans
Like young Turks gives me young turks me a lot of clout in that regard. All right, let's do it
Hey, come on in.
Bernie.
Good to see you again.
Good to see you again as well.
I've been good.
I'm going to give you this microphone real quick here.
I can put it on if you want.
Yeah.
All right.
Right there.
All right.
So, the last time we talked, it was at the oligarchy tour.
I know.
It was in Las Vegas.
In Nevada.
Yep.
And we didn't have a lot of time.
We didn't have a lot of time today, too.
You're a very busy guy.
You're all around the country, you're touring, you're going everywhere, and today you're going to be talking about taxing the billionaires, something that you're very fond of, something that you've been talking about for quite a while.
And before we get started, last time I was supposed to give you a Japanese Communist Party pin that I got in Japan and I still forgot to bring it today, so I'm instead going to give you, do you know what this is?
Nope.
An evil eye.
And so I'm going to give that to you. We say in Turkey we say Nazar, which means like, you know, I'm having a hard time taking this off.
All right. Well, you give it to me later. Okay.
I don't want to use up the whole five minutes you're getting your time off.
You're right. So what are you doing in California?
Doing two things. Both.
I think you know it's important tonight. I'll be speaking on this billionaire tax
Initiative the unions that bring me forward and I think it's enormously important
As I'm sure you know never before in American history
Have we had the kind of income and wealth inequality that we have right now got to deal with that reality
You've got 1% only more wealth of about 93% you got one guy mr. Musk
one man only more wealth than the bottom 53% of American households does that
make sense to anybody and meanwhile under Trump these billionaires are
becoming richer and guess what many of them paid very little and sometimes
nothing in taxes you probably pay an effective tax rate that is higher
based on your own car or definitely than the billionaires though it's insane and
these guys own increasingly they own media they own there's more
concentration of ownership and they own the political process, making massive
campaign contributions. So what this is about is saying to the billionaires,
you know what? Trump gave you and your friends a trillion dollars in tax breaks
and at the same time they caught health care by a trillion dollars. 15 million
Americans, including three million here in California, are going to lose their
health care in order to give tax breaks to people who don't need it. That's why
I'm here. Enough is enough. So there is one person, the governor of California,
that is actually quite critical of the billionaires tax.
Do you have a message for Gavin Newsom?
No, he does what he does.
He and I disagree on the issue.
And that's about it.
OK.
All right.
Fine.
I am a little bit more critical than you are, I guess, at least.
So you're not as nice a guy as I am.
That's about it.
That is true.
True, exactly.
What do you think about the movement
that you've been a part of your whole life
that has now grown in size and in popularity,
33% of the Democratic Party's base of support
now are self-described Democratic socialists.
There have been electoral victories.
Well, my money's in New York and I'm in Lillia.
Mejia's victory in New Jersey, extraordinary.
And great candidates are running all over this country.
So to answer your question, I feel very excited about that.
And if you ask me why I am optimistic about the future, it is precisely because of great
candidates who are coming up who are prepared to take on the oligarchs.
As you know, we did a fighting oligarchy tour.
I think in 24 states, 350,000 people came out.
Not only Democrats, we have Republicans, we have independents.
People are sick and tired of a country where the people on pop have it all while 60%, 60%
percent of our people live in paycheck to paycheck. I grew up in a family
with paycheck to paycheck. I know what that's about. People can't afford health
care, they can't afford food, they can't afford childcare, they can't afford a housing,
and the rich get incredibly richer. People are saying enough is enough.
Do you feel like internally within the Democratic Party there is this
resistance from establishment Democrats towards this sort of change? I like to
call it the left-flank candidates. Is that a serious question?
Are you asking, is there opposition?
Yeah.
Yeah, of course there's opposition.
That's what this struggle is about.
The progressive part of the democratic body,
I'm an independent court, because I'm with the Democrats,
have the crazy idea that maybe we
should represent the vast majority of the American people
who work for a living and don't have a lot of money.
But there are others in part of the democratic establishment
who prefer to spend their time getting campaign contributions
from very wealthy people.
and developing policies which represent those people
and certainly do not represent working people.
So that is the debate that's going on
within the Democratic Party.
Now where there is unity is the need to defeat
in every way possible the efforts of the most dangerous
president in the history of this country, Donald Trump.
And I think to the degree that we can work together
in the 2026 elections to defeat the Republicans
and hopefully return the Democrats the power
in the House, maybe the Senate, that's physical.
So one of the arguments that was unfairly launched
against you over and over again in both 2016 and in 2020
was that you were not electable,
that the electability argument was on the side
of centrist Democrats, more moderate figures.
I've been all around the country,
I've been all around the world these past couple of years,
but especially in the United States of America,
both in the oligarchy tour,
the no kings protest that have taken place,
all around seven million people coming up one day yeah and the ice resistance
that took place in many places including Minnesota the one common thing that I
hear from people from all different walks of life is that they are sick and
tired of what the Republicans are doing but they're also very frustrated with
the Democrats and the polling shows that reality as well there's tremendous
dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party at a time when as the only other
viable mainstream party they're supposed to automatically see a boost in their
popularity. Do you feel like the electability argument is turning on its
head and more and more people are finally coming on board with your message,
with our message, with the message that centers working-class individuals rather
than the the endless need to moderate for the mythical moderate voter? The short
answer is yes. I absolutely believe that. I think what people are seeing now with
their own eyes is not only the ugliness and the obscenity of the
Trump administration in so many respects whether it's ice whether it's
economics whether it's you know healthcare and all that what they are
seeing is a nation in which incredible wealth and power are resting in the
hands of a few and that by the way is what this tax to billionaires campaign
is about I don't think these guys the billionaires are staying up nights
It's worrying that they have to pay a few billion dollars more in taxes.
They're getting richer than anyone can imagine.
You know what they're worried about?
They're worried about that working people are saying,
sorry, we are going to stand up to you.
You can't have it all.
You don't own this country.
I think it's more sort of the message, you're right, or the audacity of hope.
The people that feel as though their policies will be responsive for
first time ever and that change is possible rather than the business as usual politics
that they keep hearing about. That is exactly the point.
Business as usual is finished. Trump is not business as usual. Elon Musk is not business
as usual. So what we need to do, and I think back on Jesse Jackson, you know, it's just
past the other day, who in many ways helped create this movement, is that we've got to
to come together, black and white and Latino and Asian and gay and straight,
we've got to bring our people together to stand up to the outbacks.
And in the wealthiest country on earth, create the kind of nation that we can have.
Healthcare is human life. Yes, we can build millions of units of affordable housing.
Yeah, we can have the best educational system in the world. We've once used them.
Maybe we invested in education, not in ice.
So I, you know, that's what this whole movement is about.
And I am not unoptimistic that we can pull this off.
All right?
Okay.
All right. Let's do it.
Thank you.
All right.
Bernie Sanders.
I'm gonna take this off and I'll give it
to someone on your team.
So you can get it.
Oh yeah, let's take a photo.
You got it.
Oh, you got it.
March, you wanna also do one as well?
It's going to get a big track of us.
Three, two, one.
OK.
Here you take it.
Here, I got it.
Don't take it.
I'm going to make it for you.
Here, put the camera down for this march.
All right, I got it.
OK, great.
All right, keep up the good work.
All right, thank you.
Senator, we're going to stay in here for just a minute.
All right, we'll leave.
And we want to say hi to her.
Yeah.
Hello.
Nice to see you.
How have you been?
Oh, yeah.
Of course.
I'm a huge fan of yours.
Of course.
Yeah.
All right, let's do it.
Somebody come up there.
I'm just living here in Los Angeles, walking and coming out to see you.
Thank you for the time.
And maybe to come to Stanford, because Ro texted me the other day and invited me up there.
Yeah, Ro and I will be speaking here.
Yeah.
Wait, let me give this now.
Hold on.
Oh, yeah.
Can I give this now?
I got it.
I got it out.
I'm not going to wear a pin that I don't know.
Maybe it's the E.B.Y. I don't know.
I'll tell you what I just said.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
I did it.
I took it off.
Yeah.
So he came here.
You have the mic, right?
Wait, Bernie, does he still have it?
Hold on.
Bernie still has the mic.
No, I forgot to take it off.
She does a great job.
Sure.
Thank you.
Thank you.
All right.
We got it.
It's not that big of a deal.
It's not that big of a problem.
Ah, alright.
You did great.
Comment?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Of course. Thank you.
Alright.
This way?
Alright.
Okay, thank you.
All right, um, really shit, aren't you after you left?
It's not enough time, we gotta do a full, I need you to do a full interview, seriously.
There's so much I want to talk about, specifically on a bunch of different candidates rising in prominence, things of that nature.
I think it was fine, it was not the best interview.
We didn't even get the foreign policy.
We invite everybody to return their seats.
The program is being shot today.
All right, I'm going to end it here.
All right, everybody, that was a long day.
We're going to end it here for now.
Go watch the Bernie Sanders stream.
He's going to be talking here about why we need to tax the billionaires.
And I will see you tomorrow.
Tomorrow's Thursday, I'm going to have a conversation with Adam Mockler
of Midas Touch, Adam Mokalev, of Midas Touch, about establishment Democrat versus progressives.
And I think that'll be a very productive conversation. And we'll see you on the other side.
Hopefully that was a enlightening and productive conversation. It's probably
these things that you've heard a million times over, but it is what it is.
