I
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 son, Piker, and this thousand and broadcast coming to you live from New York, New York.
We're in Manhattan folks.
We're live.
We're 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.
is Saturday. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Saturday, March 28, 2026. I'm live. I'm alive. This is the
number one broadcast for driving a wedge in the Democratic Party, as you guys already might know.
Thank you, MJMD4 for already with the gift of subs. Goddamn. We're live, we're alive. And I hope
everyone's having a fantastic one because today's a beautiful day. Today's a wonderful day. Today
is going to be a pretty big day. We have a lot happening. We have a lot to talk about.
Hold on. Wow. Right on cue. I just got a door knock. My thing is here. Hold on. You know what?
I'm going to rerun this. I'm going to rerun this video while I go grab my coffee.
Anyway, we're alive. We're alive. That's, uh, as AI, I know, I know it's so funny to
be like, wow, that's AI slop. Yeah, it's the Iranian government, man. Like, for those of
you don't know what that intro is, I think it's like AI slop that the IRGC certified
AI slop, it's very different kind of AI slop. Okay. Anyway, I'm live and I'm live early
And there's a good reason for that.
I'm going to get it right into it.
But before I do that, this is part of the barcast where I tell you about my
personal news, but personal news this time, which is what I do in between the
time period where I press the stop from a button and press the start
human button, um, is, is also relevant to like news, news in general.
Um, so yeah, look at this guy drinking coffee from a small cup.
Yeah.
You know, I love me.
I love me some coffee from small cups.
Anyway, yeah, I saw, I saw Zoran last night. I saw so many wonderful, brilliant journalists,
advocates, activists. Yes, I hung out with Zoran quite a bit as well. It was awesome.
I met his wife. She's dope. Yeah, I went to this event, this, this eight event, which
was really cool. It was a private event. It was, you know, not no filming, no nothing,
you know what I mean? But it was very cool. I hung out with Mehdi a lot. I hung out with
Hasan Minhaj. We had all three Hassans at the same place for the record. We had all
three Hassans were in the building. Yes, I met Rama. Did he disavow you? Yeah,
He was like, dude, I disavow you.
No, not disavow me.
Did you tell him to tune out the Bat Faithaters?
I did, I did.
Okay, so,
anyway, where was I?
Oh yeah, I'll just blast off real quick.
Yeah, we had the Hassan trifecta.
I don't, there were no photos of the events
and we couldn't take a photo.
But, uh,
Hassan Triforce. Yeah, it was the, it was the Hassan triple play.
Uh, very irresponsible to not have a contingent Hassan on an undisclosed location. Oh my God, you're right.
It's kind of like, like, um, it's kind of like having, uh, the, the, uh, speaker of the house or something.
or something like it's like a state of the union security protocol. We can't have we can't have all three has on to the same place. Because what if something terrible happens and then like we need it we need a third. We need a designated survivor has on.
Luckily, nothing happened. I mean, we were making a risky play with that. Who's the third has on. I know the second one is Mehdi Hassan manhage.
Um, we, yeah, we need a designated survivor Hassan.
You can't have all three Hassans in the same place.
This would, this would take out a big chunk of the Hassan's.
This would take out the entire Hassan contingency and we can't do that.
We can't let that happen.
Um, are you going to see Stav and radio city tonight?
I mean, he invited me.
If I have time, I might, uh, I might attend potentially, but, uh, the reason,
Like I said, the reason why I'm early is because we have a lot going on today.
It's New York City day two.
We've got no Kings, IRL.
I'm going to be heading out to no Kings with no Colwyn.
And then afterwards, I am going to be talking to
Effie Phillips-Staley, who's running against Mike Lawler.
This is going to be a brief, you know, quick in and out interview situation,
just to get to know her a little bit better.
And then afterwards, I'm going to be back here, you know, doing situation monitoring stuff like that.
And I think I might do an interview with Donnie while I'm out there, as always.
Where your son power is peaking, being in such close proximity to each other.
Yeah, but that's the reason why, that's the reason why I was, that's the reason why I started early.
Last day for 35% on gift is subs. Yeah, okay, let's go. I didn't even know it was like that
No, I didn't get to prove read your literacy tweet today clearly wait. What happened that I did I write a illiterate tweet
I was in bed
Not paying attention. I might have fucked it up. It's like crossing the streams in Ghostbusters. Yeah
Any issues to see your street getting out of there? I don't know. We're about to find out
um later when I leave
But yeah, New York City day to no Kings IRL situation monitor at Epstein Street day 29
C bag is ongoing. There's a virtual peace summit there. I'm gonna be doing its new merch time as you guys know and
Yeah, DOJ is trying to silence me there's a political article that came out. That's like a big one, you know
Yeah, there's a lot happening in the world, man. I don't know. I don't know what to say, right?
DOJ wants to cancel my college appearances.
It is kind of crazy that the Department of Justice is behaving in ways that they
like rallied against for years and years and claimed liberals were doing and
liberals are nowhere to be found they're not actually you know they're not
actually literally rates oh no I said literally rates fuck me
ah yeah yeah yeah
Well, that's a big bummer, isn't it? I'm at literacy, and I, it autocorrected the literally,
I guess I'm illiterate too. I'm a product of American education in some ways. So it makes
sense. Welcome to. Oh, Jennifer Welch was defending me. Nice, nice, nice. Bro, Conagutra back.
Yeah, I saw that. Okay. So, where was I? Where was I? Where was I? All right. So, yeah, let's blast off New York City Day 2. No Kings.
I'll do it. Okay. Once again, it's my college appearances, situation monitored, FC Spurry Day 29 CPAC, which will be some at new merge time.
Yet in now.
But yeah, I.
Um, there's that TV slash Hassan Avi.
No, thank you.
Um, quick deploy ESL counter.
Yeah, that's fine.
It's not a big deal.
So where were we?
Where were we?
Where were we?
Where is the opposite of doors open?
It's the doors closed.
is out here in New York, the doors closed.
In LA, the doors open, right?
Anyway, speaking of which, I'm wearing my merch right now.
Operation Southern Spear.
But we're blasting off, we're blasting off, get in now.
Let the people know.
We're live, and we're alive.
I'm gonna talk about my personal news right now.
So I ended the broadcast last night.
I got dressed up, all fancy style,
and I put on a suit.
It was a casual suit to go to this event.
And it was this massive,
Noah calls it the Muslim Illuminati dinner.
And it kind of is like that, like jokingly.
A lot of big names were in attendance.
I sat very close in proximity to Rashid Khalidi.
I didn't get to talk to him
because Noah was unfortunately sitting in between us
any fucking chewed his goddamn ear for the approximate two hours that we were at dinner.
So I didn't even get to say hi to him, nor did I get to talk to him at all.
But I did talk quite a bit to Mark Lamont Hill, Mati Hassan, numerous other people.
Like I said, the triple Hassan threat was there.
We were all there in the same room, chopping it up.
we should have done a contingency plan.
We definitely trippy orchids.
Think of the 25 of the subs.
Gifted subs are 35% off.
This is the last day for the record.
But yeah, we did not have...
We unfortunately did not have a contingency plan.
We should have put a third Hassan somewhere else,
but luckily nothing happened.
in any case, has Joe Budden appeared? No. You need to get Mark back on? Yeah, I love Mark, obviously.
There were just so many wonderful people that I love that I have so much respect for. It's
It's like a room full of people that have been at the moral center of what is now modern
American politics for years and have been endlessly punished for it.
And it's always great to be in a room like that where you don't have to worry, or you
You don't have to worry about like having to explain your existence to people that are
inherently hostile to it.
Something that you develop an appreciation for later in your life, I guess.
I've never been that kind of person because I'm in a lot of white spaces as a white guy,
right?
As a swagged out white boy, a quirked out white boy.
But, you know, these past three years have been a little different, for sure, in the way
that people perceive me.
So it's cool.
Yeah, you vibe so well with New York City.
I know I really do.
I really do.
But yeah, I saw the political article.
I haven't read it because I couldn't read.
I couldn't bypass the paywall on my phone.
So I'm just gonna read it now.
I don't know why there was like a weird paywall
on the article, but yeah.
But it hang out with Zoran.
He is such a fucking charmer.
It's unbelievable.
Obviously I will not be revealing the conversations
of the, you know, privacy and keeping with the events, you know, the events as a private
event was very familiar, it was awesome. But ultimately, ultimately, it was great.
is very productive. It was a wonderful environment and I'm very fortunate that there are so many
awesome people out there that are fighting good fight and I got to you know see them.
But other than that,
other than that I went to bed woke up early and my besties little sis was the
chef okay my compliments to the chef for the record holy moly the food was
spectacular. Was Mahmood Khalil there? Of course. Saw my goat, Mahmood. Yeah. Emma Viglin was on CNN
last night and she apparently had a very interesting couple of media hits as well. We'll obviously
watch that. But I just emailed your busy email about a potential misquote in the political
article. Okay, and we'll we'll look through the political article right now. I could just like text
the guy who wrote it directly. But yeah, we're blasting off, ladies and gentlemen. Did they have
vegan foods or not? Which treats as vegans? Well, I mean, it wasn't Zoran's events or I wasn't
Zoran was just invited.
Entire panel had a might meltdown over Israel. That's not surprising to me at all. I really
do in times like this I will say in times like this I do appreciate you know white Christian
Jewish anti-zionist you know um because let's be real no matter how fucking white passing you are
no matter how like broy you are no matter how MAGA coded you might be when your name is this on
people do actually get a little racial with the commentary, in my opinion. Not even a little racial,
but very racial with the commentary as a matter of fact. And there is that angle that is like
somewhat frustrating, because I saw people trying to endlessly pontificate on the last couple of
days events. Talking about, you know, well, Hasan is like somewhat of a danger to Jews,
but like, we still got to go on a show or something. It's like, the fuck are you talking about?
You know, like, don't concede on this stuff.
Don't, you don't, that's an insane concession to make. Just say the truth.
Okay, please just say the goddamn truth like what are we doing? What are we doing?
Can you explain why so many public figures who have no personal connection with Israel
sin for Israel so hard it is the many of you have only learned about this stuff in the past
I would say yeah in the past like couple of years, so you're unfamiliar, but like for the longest time
This was the third rail of American politics was the untouchable
It was the untouchable third rail of American politics
If you said anything even remotely Israel critical you were done
You were getting inundated with attack ads. You were being called an anti-Semite. You were getting deep platformed
Basically, a lot of the stuff that's happening to me right now would have destroyed someone's
career completely, would have obliterated their career completely maybe three years ago, right?
But of course, times have changed. Times have changed dramatically. And therefore,
some people still operate with the old guard mentality, or they're a little bit more
reluctant. They're a little bit more afraid to say stuff because they still exist in this
environment that is surrounded by people that read those sorts of articles. And then they
take this, they take the information and, you know, go along with it without ever
questioning it, right? But times are changing. Times are changing rapidly. And, yeah, it's,
it is what it is. But, but that's why I'm uncompromising and unyielding, because I think it's important
for us to just like kind of push through this last barrier. Yeah.
Being pro-Israel is the institutional norm. Touching it was a triple whammy of being
attacked as an anti-Semitic pro-American adversary and pro-Muslim. Yeah.
But yeah, where was I? Where was I? Where was I? Okay, so
So, I mean, I guess we'll start there.
We'll start there.
There's a political article that turned into an article that was just Adam Wren.
Adam Wren wrote the initial article about me stumping with Abdul El Sayed.
Ren then basically took my super long response to him and turned it into an article in and
of itself.
The article is titled, Why Some Democrats Want to Shut Off a Sondpikers Megaphone.
The popular streamer's rise as democratic influencers coincides with the party's long
search for a path out of the wilderness.
The Sondpiker speaks to the media at election night watch party for Zohran, Mumdani's
campaign in Brooklyn, New York.
Okay.
Sondpikers' new role as a midterm surrogate and potential influence on the
president is driving a wedge in the Democratic Party.
After a political report of the Piker,
the far left political shimmer with millions of followers
will stomp in Michigan with syndicated Abdul El Sayed
next month, his history of divisive comments
have launched an avalanche of criticisms
from Republicans and Democrats.
Two of El Sayed's opponents,
state Senator Malloran McMorrin,
representative Haley Stevens,
lambasted El Sayed with Stephen Stilling,
Jewish Insider.
Someone who's campaigning with someone like that
is not gonna win in Michigan.
And McMorrin saying Piker says extremely offensive things
in order to generate clicks and views on followers,
which is not entirely different from somebody like Nifantes,
comparing him to the anti-Semite nationalist influencer.
Biker's rise of democratic influencers
surrogate coincides with the party's long search
for a path out of the wilderness,
particularly in recapturing young men.
Biker is scheduled to appear alongside a live stream,
choose your fighter rally organized
by Progressive Victory at 6.30 p.m. Saturday
by Representative Ro Khanna
is among the list of attendees.
Maine Democratic Senate candidate,
Grant Plattner was originally billed as a participant,
but he pulled out of the event.
A person familiar told Plattner's planned appearance
a miscommunication and on Sunday, Parkerville Rally with Senator Bernie Sanders at a tax
to rich rally. The question over pikers prominence also comes as both the Republican and Democratic
parties ask fundamental questions about how big their tents should be, but it's out of
power Democrats who face the higher short term stakes. In an interview, what is happening?
I'm getting fucking blown up right now. Hold on.
Okay.
But it is the out of power Democrats who faced our short-term stakes in an interview with political
Piker downplayed accusations that have been leveled against them like the center-left think tank
third way whose leaders wrote a wild street journal op-ed that piker had a history of
anti-American, anti-women, anti-Western, anti-American comments.
Piker said Third Way was losing their institutional relevance.
He also said he's merely channeling not changing the attitudes of the Democratic base.
I'm a megaphone, right?
Piker told Politico, there are lots of barbs and debbers out here, out there in Minneapolis, for example.
I said barbers, but they wrote barbs.
I don't know why.
For example, that have never encountered me, and yet they share that frustration with the failures of establishment liberalism all the same.
Piker said those type of voters view the Democrats as ineffective, inept.
inept. It's not because they tune into the Hassanabee broadcast every day, he said, referencing
his Twitch channel. They arrive at that conclusion because the Democrats lost to Trump twice, with
the same principle that you've got to pivot to the mythical moderate center. This is in Piker's
first rodeo. He live-streamed an interview last year with Representative Alexander Ocasio-Cortez
and standard for the Duos fighting oligarchy rallies. New York City Mayor Zoram Amdani
also sat for an interview with Piker last year. But Piker's increasing cozenius with prominent
Democrats also comes as some in the party argue he poses a problem for them. Piker is close
to, but not over the Nick Fuentes line, where going on his show itself is
indefensible. Third way co-founder Matt Bennett, who's been sounding the alarm
about the Democrats' affiliation with Piker, told Politico. Bennett added that
Democrats take on all his baggage if they don't overtly reject him,
which he said is dangerous because it empowers the right and gives them an
incredibly powerful tool to hit Democrats with. That's very bad.
But some Democrats, I mean, this is literally, look, I didn't think I'd be at the epicenter
of this conversation, but this conversation is not about me at all.
You know what I mean?
Like it might come across as a conversation that's about me, but it's not about me.
This conversation is about where the Democratic Party should be heading.
Will they be responsive to the needs of the base?
Will they be responsive to the overwhelming demands, totally just demands, totally moral
demands coming from, you know, large majorities of the base of the party?
Or will they continue with establishment neoliberalism, right?
So, because there is no Jeremy Corbyn style figure, as it stands currently in the American
left flank of the Democratic Party, they have positioned me as the fixture point, right?
They have decided that I am the placeholder for a Jeremy Corbyn style figure that they
they can just like actively undermine
with the same exact style of smears.
But the difference now is when the anti-Semitism smears
against Jeremy Corbyn were very effective
in purging the left flank of the labor
and turning it into the Cure Starmer,
very right-wing labor party that it currently is
that's collapsing the party in and of itself, right?
When they did that,
it was a very different media environment, okay?
When they did that it was an entirely different media environment. It was an
entirely different political environment. The issue of Israel was nowhere near as
salient as it is now and also the issue of Israel was nowhere near as
as favorable to our side as it is now, right?
So, what they are trying to do is basically cut away at me being the vessel, the vehicle
for left flank politics in the Democratic Party.
I have made it very, I have, I've made it known.
It's not like I hide my perspective.
I'm like, I want the leftmost persons
to be elected in every single seat, right?
It's very, oh, I'm very open about it.
I'm very honest about it.
And I think that's what is so terrifying
for a lot of these guys, right?
I want socialists.
I want a million Zorans all around the country, okay?
I want to elect 1000 Zorans, let 1000 Zorans bloom, okay?
And that is terrifying for a lot of these people.
And it's not terrifying because these people will lose.
It's terrifying because they'll win.
Do you understand?
That's the problem.
They don't want the Democratic Party
to have a large share of the power sharing agreement
coming from people like Zoram Umdani, who will be objectively more popular.
And then the rest of the Democrats will have to caucus alongside people like that.
And then the rest of the Democrats that want to maintain their positions of power will have to
reconsider their stances. They will have to lean into
to the left flank attitudes, the left flank push,
and they will have to genuinely fight
for those sorts of things.
That's my goal.
I've never hidden that.
And I think we have an opportunity for it
because this is the time, right?
This is an opportunity unlike ever,
an opportunity that we have that we've never had before my take on the Hassan
the hunts of them politicians have long been happy to tout themselves what is
this them politicians have long been happy to tout themselves talking a
controversial far-right fascist to flaunt their left-punching credentials and
they've concurrently tried to starve all left-leaning media of attention so the
whole big controversy here just spotlights a deeper asymmetry and to
be clear I'm not equating Hassan with the far-right nor am I weighing
and on all of his views statements, declarations on making a larger indisputable point, as
the country is crushed by very real problems here in the real world, there's a never forget
where the real story, not them, vibe and media folk trying to make positive views about
other media folk, the main folks of attention. Watch the old film broadcast news all about
this annoying dynamic. That's precisely what it is. Because like this is a larger
conversation about where the party's future should be going, but it's being
had over someone like myself. I'm at the center of it, but I'm just a placeholder, right? I'm
simply a placeholder here. I'm not the actual story. The actual story here is, you know,
where the Democrats go, where the Democrats go from now, where the Democrats grow from here.
Should the Democratic Party be a center, a centrist party, a center-right party,
should the Democrat actually be a leftist party, an actual truly leftist party, an actual progressive
party. But some Democrats like Conor argue that the party needs to assemble a broad coalition that
must include engaging with Israel critics like Son Piker as pod safe hosts have done and many
progressive candidates have done. Conor told Politico, of course, I just drew strongly
with some of the statements and point that out, but cancelling people or shaming people
like Son Piker, Sean Ryan or Theo Vaughn is not the answer. The debate over Piker's place
within the party is set to play out across the 2028 field, too.
Now they're saying you can't drive a wedge because 55% of
self identifying Democrats don't even know he exists.
It's almost like you agree with us that it's bizarre and pointless
repulsion to the waste time smearing and denouncing him.
Yes.
Exactly.
Thank you.
And that's precisely the reason why they're doing it because
55% of self identifying Democrats don't know who I am.
the ones that do love me, right? And the ones that do that don't like me, they're incredibly marginal,
right? They're not like self-identifying Democrats who know who I am as like a progressive guy at
the Young Turks or, you know, a guy who is like an anti-Zionist, although like those, you know,
not just you guys, but just like the broader Democrats, the people that come up to me when
I go out to these rallies and stuff, like those people are far, far larger in numbers than
than the people who are like, I'm a self identifying Democrat and I fucking hate him.
It's like, you know, those, those are like Elizabeth Warren staffers.
You know what I mean?
There's not, there's a handful of them.
There's a handful of them.
They're not very significant.
They don't represent a significant, uh, uh, forceful part of the base.
They do have institutional relevance because they think I'm
like fucking up their jobs, right?
Because their job is to just like hold on to power, right?
to the best of their ability and the most effective machine thus far has been to glaze
billionaires and their interests and place profits over the interests of the people and
be feckless and ineffective at fighting back, fighting back against the Republican Party,
fighting back against fascism, right? But they don't have the numbers. If they did,
would be honest when they run for office, right? They would say, hey, what's up? What's up? I'm Mallory
McMorrell, and I am basically just an empty vessel for whatever corporate interests that I can
massage into my focus-tested messaging, and that's what I'm here to do, right?
I don't have any real values. Maybe I have some values here and there that I will represent,
But overall, like my positions are very changeable, I'm very malleable, and I'm very susceptible to corporate influence
That's what they would do. Do you think that's a
Solid way to campaign. Do you think you would win any votes doing that? Of course not. That's that's my point, right?
These guys can't be honest about it
That's part of the reason why a lot of people understandably are frustrated with the way politics operates and even the most of you know
normie even the biggest normies will always say the classic thing I can't trust any politicians.
It's like yeah you can't because we haven't really had a great string of of earnest politicians
that communicate their worldview openly without fear.
You know what I mean?
in.
Political surveyed 14 potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidates asking whether they
would appear on a live stream with Piker to provide only three definitively said they would.
Senators Cory Booker, Ruben Gallego, and Elisa Slotkin all said they wouldn't go on
Piker Stream through Spokespeople.
Mr. Piker's terrible comments about Jewish people, 9-11, other areas aren't the kinds
of conversations Cory participates in and he will not be joining him on a stream
and aid to Booker, told Politico.
I think we all know the real reason why Corey Booker wouldn't do that.
But it doesn't really matter because he's not winning anything anyway.
You know, Corey Booker, a person like, like think about this, think about this.
Corey Booker has literally been photographed next to Benjamin and Yahoo last year.
Okay.
Like we're talking about a guy who has no problem.
Hanging out with straight up fucking war criminals, right?
But I'm a bridge too far. Look at the fuck out of here. It's very obvious, okay?
It's very obvious. You know where your bread is buttered. But they can't say that.
Again, it goes back to politicians can't be honest, right? Politicians can't be
honest. Yeah, that's old. I don't think he's like still homies with Rabbi
Shmueli, but he used to be. But that's what I mean. If you want to hear, like,
this is like you read this you read this statement right and then you put your honesty glasses on
if you read the statement at face value mr park is terrible comments about jewish people in 9 11
other uh areas aren't the kinds of conversation quarry participates in you put the glasses on
and it's like i don't want to talk to someone who's going to question me from my left flank
and expose my immorality because i first and foremost will always defend the state of israel
rather than my own constituents that's what it is you put the glasses on and you see the
truth behind the statement. This is the fake conversation that are set on the boundaries
that they can have this conversation on. The real conversation is, yeah, I don't want to do that
because it's going to make me look incredibly immoral and make me look really bad. I obviously don't
have an issue aligning with, you know, horrible monsters like Yoav Galant, right?
Like, this is the guy who's like, I don't want to talk to him. So I'm like, okay, well, I don't
want to talk to you either. That's not true. I'll talk to anyone. I don't really care. But
it's pretty funny to me that like, these are the guys who are like,
you know, remember when Libs demanded you applaud Booker for his 25 hour speech that
to accomplish nothing. I do remember that. Yeah, the other person was Diego, which again,
in my opinion, is another one of those guys that's like, that famously, yeah, that famously was
was a podcast or presses book around Netanyahu. What the actual fuck. Yeah. Jennifer West did
cook them.
This is insane.
Yeah, I know. It's pretty funny.
Pyger isn't invited these people on to a stream. They're coming to him for his audience. It's true. Exactly.
It's exactly what it is. But it's ironic that they're having these conversations so far out from 2028
that they literally are positioning me as like a kingmaker for no reason.
But it's I guess it's healthy to have these sorts of conversations because like
Inevitably, we're gonna land somewhere right either the Democrats are gonna be like if you go on
Hassan's stream, you know, we will shut off even in the general we will not fund your race
Against a Republican even if you would be a reliable vote against Republicans, right?
If you're a left-flank candidate, we're just not funding you. It's over. You're done
You're not a part of the fucking coalition
and you're not a part of the caucus,
you're out on your own.
Like they might do that.
They might just like destroy the party in its entirety,
specifically because they wanna control
the flows of information within the party, right?
They control like the power that they have over the party,
right?
You'll never guess who's back.
Oh my God, my goat.
My goat.
I mean, this is the moment.
When the world needed him the most,
He vanished, and I'm glad that he's...
Did he openly say you don't want to be the Joe Rogan of the left?
I did, but it doesn't matter, right?
Like, they never really listened to me.
Not only did I say, I don't want to be the Joe Rogan of the left,
I also said, you can't actually podcast your way
out of the problems of the party.
Ironically enough, right?
So who would appear on PyroStream?
Let's look at who would.
Ro Khanna, California Governor Newsom and Rahm Emanuel.
That's really funny.
I love that.
Rahm fucking Emanuel said he would come on the broadcast.
That's hilarious to me.
I don't know where that came from.
He has never reached out to come on the broadcast,
but I guess he's doing the rounds.
Big rom big rom me rom
Yeah, it's not on the agenda right now with the governor is never shot away from debating anyone anywhere in Newsom spokesperson Izzy garden told political
Said in a manual spokesperson
Rama's always willing to have difficult conversations with anyone about the future of the country and to tell people he disagrees with why they are wrong
He's the Pennsylvania governor Josh Spear and Kentucky governor Andy Bashar declined to comment
I've literally talked to Andy Bashar personally by the way when I was at the pod Jones conference in Washington, DC
I mean, he did not know who I was at back then, but I suspect that given what he has said so far about Israel when someone was asking him, when CNN was asking about Israel being a litmus test, I don't know if he'd come on or not.
It doesn't really matter.
the former president of former VP Kamala Harris Transportation Secretary Pete
Buttigieg, Mark Kelly, Maryland Governor Wes Moore, J.B. Pritzker, Illinois
governor did not respond. Asked about some of his controversial past comments.
Piker didn't retract any of them. Asked if he had ever misspoken, misspoken?
No, taken out of context. Absolutely. He did point to one particular quote about
his October 7th Hamas attack on Israel, which he noted often comes up when he's
criticized. One of the quotes that they love floating around is the October 7th
quote where I said like rapes having a conversation around sexual violence
taking place on October 7th doesn't change the dynamic for me. I was
talking about genocide. I was like, this doesn't justify genocide at all.
Piker said, as for the quotes he catches, he for no, I stand by them.
Piker said, so who does Piker like 2028 for 2028? He's got a short list.
I said, Georgia Senator John Osso will make dark horse, dark horseback,
depending on how we present itself. If he has ambitions for higher office,
I do love you, AWP president, Sean Fain personally. I like an outsider pick.
I like Ro Khanna. I like AOC.
I actually like Chris Van Hollen quite a bit as well, even.
In the New Yorker article, you said,
Buttigieg's people reached out to you and you said no.
Yeah, that was supposed to be a private conversation
that I was having in front of a New Yorker reporter,
which is precisely the reason why it was reported
in the New Yorker.
Sometimes I like to keep things private.
Okay, and the criticism cuts both ways.
At the end of the day, of course,
I've disagreed with every single one
of these candidates, like I said.
No candidate is perfect.
And it buys into one potential 2020 candidate,
Grant anonymity to appraise biker's influence to a political they expect probably to be a gatekeeper in the primary
But piker isn't sure how much sway he'll hold who knows how things change he said
I mean, this is a very dynamic environment. So yeah, that's the that's the article from political
it has
Reached because it's like so perfectly
Nuclear it's basically like a like an atom bomb
for for Twitter discourse
And that's precisely the reason why there is a lot of discourse on the Twitter discourse machine.
Threading some thoughtful reaction to my Hassan Piker item here, Adam Wren reports.
Matt does. Hassan isn't driving a wedge into the party. The failed repeatedly discredited yet
unfortunately still entrenched corporate wing of the party is. They fear the left's growing power
and see Hassan as a way to make us argue amongst ourselves we shouldn't fall for it.
Crystal ball says correct and the current astroturf to son freak out is precisely because demolites know they can no longer control the base
Adam rent go on a son pikers the list was asked the fuck is that bro? They're asking me about
2028 candidates like what do you want me to say Vladimir Lenin like there is no there are no real like
Right now. We don't even know if there's gonna be a 2028 race. Okay. We're so goddamn far out
You guys are insane. Like the amount of emphasis you place on these like picks is so silly
It's it's not a real
Like it's not a real question right now. You know what I mean?
Say you don't oh my we're suited to leave yeah, I mean I love you don't oh my and I love we're suited to leave
I don't think either well first of all you know my is naturalized anyway, and and we're suited to leave
I don't think has any ambitions of higher office like that
Chatters are acting like they're putting the house Chatters are acting like they're putting their entire house on the Cal-Shi prediction market
Anyway
This guy says go on a song show as a fan tanky loser don't sniff nomination
Refuse invite from Hassan awkward moderate make one debate future failed Senate run go on explain why he's a loser two terms of the White House
Yeah, this guy is so
Where does piker refuses to have you on land Lamont that's actually probably two categories piker refuse to have you on because no one would care
Don't make debate stage piker refuse to have you on because he's scared you'll influence his audience to be smarter two terms rush more
Yeah, this guy is a living in in
Delusion land, but that's very funny
All them should go on piker stream
That doesn't mean they should have him as a surrogate to the campaign
This is the other like they're trying to carve out
They're like weirdly trying to concede that you got to go on the stream
Well, you can't like be next to him
You can't like identify him as a as a person that's like representative of your values, right?
But that's a concession you're waving the white flag at that point, right?
Do you see what I mean?
Like this person has realized he saw the writing on the wall and he went from yeah
Yeah, maybe, maybe you do go on a stream, but like you don't have them come to your rallies.
It's like, okay, why do you get to decide that?
Rokana, I'm for engaging Sean Ryan, Theo Vaughn, Osama Khan, Andrew Sholz, Janky, you're not
canceling or censoring them.
Matt Bennett says, leaving your bullshit smear aside, what moderate sphere is the Democrats
will be connected to a bigot who said America deserve 9-11 that will help the MAGA
right win?
I don't know why you don't fear that.
This is third way, Matt B.
ridiculous. And the reason why it's ridiculous is because it's the concept of
9-11 that like what I was saying is blowback. There's academic consensus for
it. I apologize for it in 2019. Everybody fucking hates cancel culture. Most
Americans also understand that these are wars of choice that we've engaged
in in the aftermath of 9-11 that actually destabilize all these other
places and they have consequences that we don't want to experience. Okay. So
So, once again, you can keep coping and crying and shitting and pissing in your diapers,
but it's not, you know, it's only these sorts of, these sorts of statements, these sorts
of statements are only as damaging as you let them be damaging, right?
Leaving your bullshit attempt to weaponize an out of context quote aside, what progressive
the Democrats will be connected to pro-corporate anti-worker neoliberal idiocy that has already helped the MAGA right win repeatedly.
Matt Bennett, oh, what was the context? Like, he's just, like, this kind of, this kind of politics doesn't work anymore.
This kind of, like, hysterical. They did this at Bernie in 2016 and it failed, right?
Or rather, it succeeded in 2016, but it led to the failure of the party.
You know what I mean?
So it's very stupid that these guys try to do it over and over again.
This like silly hysterical like, oh, but what about this?
It's like dog.
Do you see the current media landscape that we're existing under?
Okay.
Donald Trump can go on Theo von show where Theo von talks about doing cocaine and Donald
Trump is sincerely asking Theo von how cocaine makes Theo on feel.
And like that's a real humanizing moment for Donald Trump.
You guys are literally operating on La La Land and the real reason is why you want to
do this.
The real reasons aren't because you're, whoa, what the hell, a little baby F there, that
was weird.
The real reason is why you're saying all this stuff is not because you're genuinely
worried that this is going to actually hurt the viability, the electoral viability
of a candidate.
Because if you actually saw me as an ally, right, as someone who's ideologically aligned with you,
you would just turn around and say the appropriate thing, which is, what the fuck are you talking
about? The goddamn president is Donald Trump. He is a psychopath and lies all the time and actually
says infinitely more unhinged things that you're claiming Hasan Piker is saying. Live in the
real world, please. Like this is a person that's being disparaged because you just don't agree
with them but you don't actually want to have the conversation on those boundaries because those
if you were to have the conversation on those boundaries most people will be like well I agree
with the guy that you're calling controversial as a matter of fact. That's it. That's it. That's
the reality. That's the reality of the matter. That's actually what's going on currently
and they can't they can't say that. They can't do that because this is
is an ideological battle, okay?
Yeah, Will Steakin had a good take on this.
He's the senior Washington reporter for ABC.
He said, getting flashbacks in 2019
when Bernie Sanders went on Joe Rogan faced similar intense
backlash and basically Dems lost an entire podcast slash
comedy audience to Trump and MAGA.
Yeah, that's exactly what's going on.
Anyway, I mean, just through the nose,
Booker's Locking in Diego accepted a collective 10 million plus from APEC and another and other Israeli lobby group.
So is it a Hassan problem or a Hassan might ask me questions that I am donor bound to answer a certain way problem?
The Doni New York Times piece was super bad.
Faith law is weird.
Wait, what?
The Doni New York Times piece.
Doni doesn't write for the New York Times.
You're us for CNN.
I mean, he does videos for CNN.
Um, but, uh, there's more rotimi, uh, audio, yeah, who's a New York Times contributor.
It says, honestly, I hate talking about influencer pals intrigue, but I think the Dems who would
not go on a song, but we'll go on Rogan or making a weird argument because both have
said things that any it pull up aggressive, we consider bad.
And yet Rogan is good and Asana is bad.
I guess the argument that Assad is worse is that he's further left and more confrontational,
but that's a strategic choice, not a moral one.
What is this?
It's better just to be honest about that than doing the whole, this is a moral stand I
must take.
Also, if the goal is reaching audiences that don't already agree with you, both Rogen
and Assad have mass platforms.
A young man who aren't watching cable news, you either want those voters or you don't.
You can create someone, or you can create someone, but yeah, everyone will see that it's
fake.
To be honest, ideally, I'd rather everyone just stop treating these online celebrities
as deciding factors in a campaign when things like candidate equality, electoral fundamentals,
and actually meeting voters where they are, determine election results.
This influencer should have pushed the ice, totally agree with the routinely on this.
I said, I think it's insane to place my values in consistent left advocacy anywhere
near Rogan's libertarian adjacent, MAGA Politics.
It's clear that they don't want to be challenged by their left flank, especially
on Israel or Medicare for all, two issues I'd absolutely raise.
To be clear, I'm not comparing your politics to Rogan's.
They're obviously different.
The comparison is about the audience,
both your platforms reach young men
who aren't watching cable news,
and the Democrats need a consistent standard
for showing up where those voters are.
And the reason why I said that to him
was because he replied to someone where he was like,
well, you know, Rogan and Hassan have said
like equally crazy things
that could be perceived as anti-Semitic or whatever.
And it's like, I don't think that's the same.
I've never like, like I, at most I joke about
silly it is that people say Jews control the media. I've never had a conversation where I
would like sincerely talking about whether or not Jews control the media, for example.
You know what I mean? It's like one, one you could actually absolutely point to the,
the, you know, anti-Semitism of the other you can't. Right? Has the stream started yet?
Yes, the stream is live. Can you not see it? What's going on?
Is your platform mostly on men though? Yes. It's so funny that a lot of people don't realize that yes is my audience is
still very much primarily
Under 35 white guys
We do the we do the the demographics year over year
I'm a lady. I mean, it's a very large platform and only a small chunk of people that are in
the broader platform that watch me will, you know, right in the chat, obviously.
Yeah. The Big Tent Demchagone Rogan crowd is a surprisingly cramped tent when it's a couple
brown guys outside. Yeah. Come on, bro. It's not regularly boosted. Territory.
Resilience has below Hamas. Who do you should Democrats accept this, this into the big tent?
I think a lot of people are saying I don't personally like his politics,
partially because I refuse to understand what he's talking about, or partially because
they're, they're saying like, I do understand what he's talking about. And I don't want to have
that conversation at all because it's not one that favors me. So I want to nip this in the bud,
right? That's what a lot of people are saying. They're like, I don't like him. I don't like his
politics. I don't want to have a national conversation about like what the Democratic
party would look like if they were to lean into his politics.
Anyway, what else? What else? What else people said?
Hassan responds, I think it's insane to place my vows because the
advocacy Democrats who declared 18 months ago that we need our own Joe
Rogan are now realizing that Joe Rogan equivalent will say a lot of stupid
stuff says Frank Lantz. Of course, Frank Lantz is the
right wing.
Frank Luntz is a right wing focus tester like Polster.
Sorry, I'm all over the place.
They can't fit you in the tent.
Sorry, they're saving space for Marjorie Taylor-Green.
No, they would never have Marjorie Taylor-Green.
on as well. You know, you're a verse, you're a worse version of Asmongole that takes care of
himself. You're comparing someone with a degree in the thing that he's talking about with like 10
plus years of consistent advocacy and political commentary experience, analysis experience
to a guy who just basically says, yeah, base over Donald Trump videos as of last year,
because he realized that that's a really easy way to farm the dumbest people on the planet.
I think that shows your lack of intellect or intellectual curiosity. You don't come across
like a brilliant centrist here. You don't come across like a moderate when you say stuff like
that. You come across like an idiot and most people can understand that. There's not a
lot of back-and-forth happening about Asmongold's placement in the fucking Republican party as a
mouthpiece in the same way that is happening over me. Don't you think there's a reason for that?
All you do is grift over emotionally charged fringes. Yeah, I think the reason why you have to
lean into that is because you just, you know, can't have a normal sincere thoughtful conversation
about this stuff and it's okay. You just have to like vague a posture in a vague generalized manner.
Oh, you just grift, bro. Yeah, totally. I've been grifting. It's the longest grift of all time that has taken
longest grift of all time that has taken the the last 13 years of my life
And a barrage of hatred along the way
It's the grift bro anyway
If 2024 was about the groups, 2028 is going to be about the influencers. I think so too. His Roach logs
Wait what so you oh, you're just a fan of Asmengold. Oh, it's always like this
These guys will be like well Asmengold sucks too, but you suck even more and it's like it turns out you just like Asmengold
Another component of this is that Dems don't get to the media figures that broke through on the right Rogan Vaughn etc
We're not GOP aparachics. They were independent figures who over time were aligned more or less with the right of center politics and promote republicans
But demoperatives see seem to see Rogan and Bonne Shapiro Kirk as the same type of figure and only want the latter party men
They want control and just don't get it exactly
You do get the same insults as women law low-key funny, but also I'm sorry. Yes. I'm the I'm the only male victim
objectification. It's kind of a joke, it's kind of a meme, but it's also kind of
not a meme. It's also always the same fucking sweaty incels that hate like
female content creators that also hate me as well. This is the last thing I was
gonna show. Worth noting, as third-way campaigns against the Sompiker and
moderate thems join in, that they especially want to reduce
far left influencers in infrastructure, which of course
barely exists. This is from their stated purpose. Reduce far
left influence and infrastructure, build a moderate
democratic infrastructure, including media, talent,
pipelines and communication networks, push back against
far left staffers and groups that exerted disproportionate
influence on policy and messaging, ban far left
candidate questionnaires and refuse to participate in forms
create ideological purity tests. Okay. Here are some of their thoughts on podcasts.
Integrate and engage with the business community. Democrats need to stop demonizing wealth and
corporations broadly. Engage with businesses, business podcasts, podcasts like Earn Your Leisure
that reach the aspiring class and entrepreneurs to discuss economic policies. Be pro aspiration
and pro capitalism in a smart way. Recognize that working class voters value upward
mobility and economic success have a prosperity gospel aimed at the working class call out corporate
abuses individually instead of attacking corporations as a whole like this is what the third way
method is the third way method was demonstrated in the last election cycle right it was what
Kamala Harris's campaign turned into and it is precisely why they lost so just like a pack
can't run candidates on the issue of Israel directly and put Israel as like a as a as a
as a salient point in the campaign,
and they have to do this like weird engineering around it,
third way has to do a similar thing.
They want that, they want to change the communications,
but most people are too smart to lean into that
because they know they'll never win another election again.
So they'll, you know, they'll restructure,
they'll attack people that are calling them out,
they're calling out their influence in the party,
they'll attack people that they've identified
like real threats to their, you know, institutional power that's going away. And, and that's it.
And it's ironic because so many people do this for free. Like these guys at least get paid handsomely.
Right. These guys get paid handsomely. They get rewarded to do this. And yet there are people
who are doing it for free in my chat right now. There'll be people that come in here and be like,
like, nah, dude, you're a cancer to the Dems. It's like, dude,
what are you talking about? Do you want to defeat Republicans
or not? You and I, if you say yes to that, you and I have the
same fucking attitude on this, you just have a different
opinion, as far as how to do it. Make an argument on why your
methods are more successful.
Right?
You might not be that big, but you are significant here as a litmus test for leftist politics.
We should recognize your newfound influence through that.
I mean, I recognize it.
I do.
I think they're glazing me too much, though.
Also speaking of which, this was pretty crazy.
And once again, donate to Abdul for Senate, okay?
Mallory McMorrow, going on Jewish Insider,
and starting this next barrage of attacks,
has led to the right-wing fascist administrations,
chair of the DOJ Task Force to combat anti-Semitism,
to come out and demand,
and mods have my donation link somewhere.
Here it is.
Um, but yeah, Mallory McMorrow and Haley Steve is coming out and like doing this attack against
Auburn L. Syed has led to the right-wing fascist administration's chair of the DOJ
Task Force to combat anti-Semitism to come out and demand that University of Michigan
and Michigan State University shut down these two campaign rallies, okay?
should not score political brownie points by platforming anti-Semite Jewish students should
not be subject to the constant hate and intimidation on their own campuses. Where is the leadership
that you mentioned Michigan State University's sounds unacceptable? Federal funding should be
go to institutions that prioritize education not ideological agendas or tolerated hate. Okay?
Unbelievable.
Like, this guy at the Department of Justice is getting his notes from Stop Antisemitism,
which is like one rabid, psychopathic lady from Long Island, okay?
This is not a real serious institution.
There's also the other side of this that I wanted to address one more time, because
there is like, we talked about, you know, the right wingers and their attitudes and things like that.
But Adam Carlson wrote this effort post that I think he thought was very thoughtful.
And I'm going to describe to you why it's actually not.
Okay.
So he had previously talked about how this is most likely not to win voters, but instead is to eat away at Stevens.
Stevens is donor base and and present herself to a pack and a pack adjacent donors is like the reliable person to go to
for the pro Israel or at least Israel adjacent candidate against Abdul El Sayed's anti Israel approach, which was true.
But then I guess he got he talked to some people from Michigan and they told him that no, that's not the case, which is really dumb.
And I'm going to explain to you why in a second. Okay, after some reflection and talking to people
including locals that are smarter than me, points 3 and 4 seem way too cynical in Galaxy brand.
It's not. It's the truth, right?
Um, and it's probably not some strategic 40 chest to triangulate a middle path to
the nomination between Al-Sahed and Stevens. I had completely forgotten to the West Bloomfield
Temple Israel attack where 140 preschools could have been blown up was two weeks ago.
So, this is unbelievably racist, okay?
This is unbelievably racist, but because it's Islamophobic, even people who fancy themselves
to be like progressive white guys don't see it, okay?
Like tying me and Abdul El Sayed to a thwarted synagogue attack is fucking insane, dude.
That is 2003 era Rush Limbaugh racism.
just because you're saying that and then positioning that as like Jewish fears around this sort
of incident happening if people like myself and Abdul are able to speak to college students
doesn't make it a reality.
It's so, and I know for a fact Adam Carlson doesn't even realize what he's doing, okay?
And that for many for whom that is still raw even in the most very progressive Jewish community like that
Piper's presence nearly both are within about an hour job would be raising the temperature not lowering it that is
disgusting like the shit that you can say about
Muslim candidates and
Muslim commentators
Is is so unbelievably fucked up and the reason why?
I it's it's extra unbelievable that Adam Carlson is saying this because he was so pro Zoran and the Zoran
eight these attacks over and over and over and over again
okay
So he should have realized that this stuff is very cynical
And Zoran is
Out there every day
Trying to do his very best to just be like here
I'm obviously not an anti-Semite, which should be clear to everyone, but I will go above and beyond
to try to make people feel comfortable about my muslimness, my brownness, sorry, like he does that
every day. To a degree that I think, unironically, is counterproductive, because it gives legitimacy
to the hysterical fears, right? At a certain point, you have to say, look, man, I'm not an
anti-Semite, I've spent all my, I've spent, you know, this entire campaign cycle, uh, advocating
for Palestinians because of their humanity and, and never leaning into anti-Semitism. And you
guys have been trying to whip up an anti-Semitic panic, but we have to realize at a certain point
that it's because I'm brown, I'm, I'm Muslim, and I'm anti-Sinus that, you know, there's a
lot of hysteria, a lot of racist hysteria. So masquerading that as like legitimate Jewish
fears is a very sinister way to do this. It's very racist. Okay, that's precisely what was
happening with Zoran and that's what Adam Carlson is doing to me right here where he thinks like,
well, you know, these are really valid fears. Like, what are you talking about? Are they valid
fears? Are they valid fears? They can be real fears, right? That can be a real fear. I'm sure
there were plenty of people who legitimately thought Zoran is going to set up concentration
games or something. Does that mean it's valid? Okay. When a black candidate is running in the deep red
south and you got fucking Klansmen coming out and being like, well, we have valid fears that they're
going to destroy our white Christian identity. Do you take that seriously? No, you do not.
You say that's your problem. Okay. That's your problem. It's ridiculous.
There's a difference between someone like a fishback, for example, right? Or someone like
Nick Fuentes, for example, who are actually trafficking anti-Semitic conspiracies and someone
like myself.
Okay?
So, it was very frustrating to read this from someone who thinks like they're, you know,
a progressive poster that is still trafficking in the same biases that they do not even
fucking think about, you know?
It's unbelievable.
I think the difference in encouraging people to go on a guest who has said controversial
things in the past and actively campaigning with them is an important distinction.
It's not.
Some may infer the latter as an endorsement of their views, which no matter what you
think of Zahn, you have to admit that some of what do you say could be hurtful to
some Jews at a time when many are deeply concerned for the safety of them and their
children?
Ridiculous.
Okay?
I will stand on that one more time.
Ridiculous.
If you only read Jewish insider articles and you place a lot of emphasis in the big 2026 on what the ADL is saying about me,
sure, you can whip yourself up in a panic, but it's not true.
So why should I do that?
Why should you do that? Why should you lean into it?
Especially when it has been shown time and time again that institutions that masquerade as Jewish advocacy institutions
when in fact all they do is defend Israel and at times actually harm American Jews,
will cynically weaponize false smears of anti-Semitism against anti-Zionists.
The Jewish Jews are probably fans of yours by the way. Yeah, of course, of course.
For those who think McMorah was bought and paid for by APEC, I would like to remind them that
But they're expressly backing Steve's in this race and that McMorris stressed that she has
not and will not take money from APAC yet, doesn't mean anything.
She gave privately policy papers to APAC and then also on top of that is very clearly positioning
herself to at least get some of the APAC heat off of herself right now.
Anyway, I'm willing to bet it's not a strategic move.
It's a line in the sand for her.
Yeah, it's a dumb line in the sand.
If you disagree with what she said, that's fine.
Your voice would be louder than those that appreciate what she's doing because that's
What algorithms do promote conflict important rumor that Twitter's not real life?
I like I'll be willing to get why people are voting for him
But let's not jump to the worst conclusion about other canages because tensions are high
Like this is an
Unbelievably racist thing to say their only reason why I'm bringing this up because you guys know I fucking hate bringing up
Islamophobia because everybody goes here we go again shut the fuck up, right?
It's really a horrible way to campaign in general, right?
But I'm sorry. There is no other way to fucking read this. Like you're tying me to attack on a synagogue. What an unbelievably racist thing to fucking do. It's insane.
And no one, like everyone reads that and goes, well, this is good analysis. No, the fuck it's not.
We have to be a little bit more thoughtful with the way that we talk about these sorts of things,
because I do genuinely think that if we don't push back on this stuff at all,
people just get more comfortable thinking that they're actually, you know...
What? Donnie wrote a piece about you in the New York Times? No, this is not...
This is written by Tim Bulk, man. We read this article already.
He just shared it, chatter.
Having this endless, I'm sorry they've also had so much Islam over comments shown thrown
at especially the past two to three years is growing exponentially.
Yes.
And someone absolutely fears love's growing power.
I think the smart place for moderate Dems to go on piker show and agree with them that
Israel is bad and then stick to their guns on other moderate stuff.
See, even Matt Iglesias is literally waving the fucking white flag on Israel.
Okay, that's it. He's not wrong, right? He's waving the fucking white flag on that.
So he's like, dude, just go on and like gain the legitimacy on the Israel issue.
Please, you guys are gonna fuck this up. That's what he's saying.
Hey, yeah, see, look, look, look, and anti-Israel is one of the only non-toxic progressive views.
If you're going to give the left something, that's what it should be.
Then be pro-growth, tough on crime, et cetera.
And yes, he's right.
It's so unbelievably bad for Democrats to consistently posture against someone
like myself because of very clearly the values that I represent on this issue that is a 90
10 issue on our side.
It's the Democrats, not exactly really taking a consistent moral stance against problematic
podcasts or whatever, because they've all said they would go on Joe Rogan.
He said, you know, he's clearly right wing, mega booster, it's ridiculous.
It actually has everything to do with them not wanting to give ground on the Israel
issue and not wanting to even appear anywhere near this issue. I don't know
how Adam doesn't see it here when he saw it was Zoran. The Jewish Fierce Mirror was
used endlessly with Zoran. It was stupid and racist then. It's stupid and racist now.
Yeah, the only difference is he likes Zoran. He's probably met Zoran. He
He doesn't know me and he doesn't like me.
That's it.
So for him, he will look through the minutiae to be like, well, Hasan has said this, right?
Like I saw a clip out of context.
So now I believe the clip out of context that Hasan is actually an anti-Samaic is like,
they don't know these get most people don't pay that close attention, right?
He also most likely favors Mallory over Abdul, but he doesn't want to say it.
Yeah, and to be fair, obviously, one, Zoran is the mayor of New York, right?
So his worldview versus like the way he carries himself now, obviously, he plays a lot
more ball than I do, right? He is way, way more conciliatory to smears no matter how ridiculous
and how racist they are. I mean, think about how much it took. Think about how much shit he ate,
and especially the last month of that campaign, until he had to put his foot down and be like,
enough. This is unbelievable. What the hell are we doing here? This is like incredibly racist.
This is my first time watching one of your shows before I would consider myself a democratic
socialist from all I've seen and read about not much right now as a 19 year old university
student full-time worker that labeled an associated policy sits best with me.
Can you recommend any theory?
I should learn more.
All I've seen is entry-level commentary, some debates, interviews.
Thanks.
Thanks if you see this.
What's a good starting point to read for this chatter, for the Zoloft attic 19 year
old chatters?
What do we think?
Okay, everyone is saying Markson Lennon. I mean, I agree, but there's probably a
better entry point than Lennon. Lennon can be a little dense.
Parentee? Michael Parentee? But even then, that's like...
And black shirts and reds, Mark Graber.
He's easy to get into.
That's true.
Lenin is not, Lenin is not dense, Marx is.
I mean, even Lenin is dense, but Marx is even denser.
Hello.
Yeah, you can bring them upstairs.
Thank you.
is David Graber, Mark Fisher. Oh, I was, yeah, I think that chatter mixed up Mark. Is that
Mark Graber? It's David Graber and Mark Fisher. All right. Let's run this to 300 US soldiers
wounded as Israel vows to escalate strikes on Iran.
Intense bombing in Iran, lighting up the sky in the capital, Tehran, amid more exchanges
of fire with Israel and the US, and satellite imagery showing the destruction at a US base
in Saudi Arabia after it was hit in an Iranian drone attack at least 10 American service
members injured. Officials telling ABC News at least two were seriously wounded and
at least one tanker damaged in the Friday attack. All together more than 300 American
troops have been injured and 13 killed as the war now enters its fifth week and
this morning even more troops are on the way multiple US officials telling ABC
news a third US aircraft carrier the USS George HW have you ever targeted with
the impact of racist mirrors against you wait hold on I gotta get the door
um yes I have but it doesn't matter it's irrelevant I could take it push is
heading to the Middle East they'll join another 2200 US Marines set to
arrive in the region any day now. And with up to 1,500 paratroopers preparing to deploy
too, questions mounting as to whether a ground operation into Iran is imminent. But Secretary
of State Marco Rubio speaking to G7 leaders in France on Friday, saying the U.S. can
reach its goals without putting boots on the ground.
And we can achieve them without any ground troops, without any.
Just hours later, President Trump speaking at a Saudi-backed investment conference,
calling himself a peacemaker, praising the U.S. Israeli operation and saying the U.S.
is now, quote, just going after targets in Iran.
We have another 3,554 targets left, and that'll be done pretty quickly.
And then, you know, at some point we're going to have to determine what we do.
Overnight, Iran reporting more strikes on its nuclear facilities and steel factories.
Video of the confirmed Israeli strikes posted on social media showing smoke billowing
from one of the factories. Just hours later, Iran launching a fresh wave of retaliatory
strikes on Israel.
Video circulating online showing the moment of a missile impact in Tel Aviv. At least one
person killed, a man in his six years and multiple others injured. While the death toll inside
Iran climbs to at least 1,900. In southern Lebanon, where the IDS says it's widening
its ground invasion to create a buffer zone against Iran-backed Hezbollah.
More than 1,116 people killed, over a million displaced, according to Lebanese authorities.
The UN warning it's facing a humanitarian catastrophe.
And with Iran-backed Houthis now joining this war, launching missiles towards Israel from
Yemen, there are fears of this conflict expanding, that's despite Special Envoy Steve
Wiccoff saying that the U.S. is hopeful of having meetings with Iran this week. Rachel?
Yeah, as this war enters now, it's fifth week. All right, Britt, thank you.
One month into the war with Iran, the country continues to fire back at targets across the
Middle East. Overnight, Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia was attacked, and sources
tell CBS News the attack was carried out using missiles and drones. Meanwhile, oil
closed at its highest price and stocks had their worst day since the war with Iran
started. The Dow Jones industrial average entered correction territory. It's now down
more than 10 percent from its all-time high. The Nasdaq sank deeper into correction territory,
and the S&P 500 is on its longest losing streak since 2022.
Holly Williams is in Tel Aviv with the latest on the war and President Trump's threat
to expand his use of the U.S. military. Holly, good morning.
Good morning. Ten American service members were injured yesterday by an Iranian missile
strike on a base in Saudi Arabia, according to US officials, with two of them sustaining
very serious injuries.
They're being hit so hard anybody would be negotiating, they are negotiating, they're
begging to make it down.
President Trump repeated his claim last night that Iran's leaders are eager to negotiate
an end to the war, pointing to the degradation of Iran's missile capabilities.
We knocked out 97% of the launchers.
But Iran is still launching missiles, doing damage here in Israel overnight.
And Iran's leaders are wielding a powerful economic weapon.
With strikes and the threat of mines, Iran has effectively paralyzed traffic through
the Strait of Hormuz, sending energy prices soaring and piling pressure on Trump
to end the war.
Now, this is the narrow...
The Strait of Homoes normally carries around 20% of the world's oil.
That's around 20 million barrels a day.
Could a single mine take out an oil tanker with a whole worth hundreds of millions of
dollars and cargo worth hundreds of millions of dollars?
Nobody was going to take a chance at this.
Even with a military escort, there's no 100% guarantee that an oil tanker could make
it safely through the Strait of Homoes.
Exactly.
has reportedly charged some ships up to $2 million each for safe passage, described either
as a toll booth system or a shakedown. Even with war in the Middle East raging, Trump entered
last night that he has another country in his sights.
They built this great military. I said, you'll never have to use it. But sometimes you have
to use it. And Cuba's next, by the way. But pretend I didn't say that, please.
Please. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said yesterday that he expects the water
continue for weeks, not months. And he said the U.S. can achieve its goals in
Iran without any ground troops. Kelly.
Halle Williams for us in Tel Aviv. Thank you. With the first missile from Yemen, a
wider war seems all the more likely.
I think that Cuba side is a little annoying.
although that's just like the yeah they do they loved just throwing that in as a dagger
how do I
with whom
all right
No, no, I got my hat. It's fine. Okay, so here's the deal guys. I'm going to keep running to these. I'm going to keep running the videos for a little bit. We are going to intercept the no kings rally. And then, you know, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to intercept the no kings rally.
I'm going to keep running the videos for a little bit. We are going to intercept the No Kings rally
and then, you know, I'm going to be out a little bit. We'll do IRLs. We'll ask some people like how
they feel about the No Kings rally, where things are going. We'll interview some folks out there
hopefully. And then I'll be back later. We'll do the virtual rally as well. That's just going
to be like a 15 minute hit that I'm going to be doing. But I'll see you on the other side in a second.
likely Israel said early Saturday its air defenses responded to incoming fire from Yemen.
This came after the Iran-backed Touthis expressed their readiness to join the conflict and a
televised address on Friday.
We affirm that our fingers are on the trigger for direct military intervention in any of
the following cases.
The joining of any additional alliances with the United States and Israel against the Islamic
Republic of Iran and the access of Jihad and resistance.
The use of the Red Sea to carry out hostile operations by the United States and Israel
against the Islamic Republic of Iran or against any Muslim country, we will not allow that.
Although military intervention could refer to strikes on Israel, the announcement has
primarily raised fear of renewed attacks on the Red Sea.
All eyes are now on the Baba Mandab.
This vital quarter off the coast of Yemen connecting the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden
is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world.
Attacks on the Strait would further disrupt the global energy market,
already impaired by Iran's effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
At a Yemeni rally in solidarity with Iran, Lebanon and Palestine,
some expressed their support for who the involvement in the war.
We stand with our brothers in Iran.
We are not neutral.
At any moment, when the time comes, we will intervene,
if God wills that we'll intervene.
And when we see blatant aggression against our country, we are ready.
The Houthis have already shown their ability to disrupt global trade.
In late 2023, the group launched attacks on international shipping vessels in the Red
Sea, which they said were in support of Palestine and the Israel-Hamas war.
Let's return now to our top story.
The missiles launched from Yemen by the Ansarullah Houthis towards Israel.
As we said, it's the first attack by the Iran allies in this conflict, inshallah, or the
Hothis were founded in the 1990s as a Shia Muslim political organization.
But in the early 2000s, it became a militarized movement involved in armed conflicts with
the Yemeni government.
Fighters seized the capital Sana'a in 2014.
Since then, they've consolidated control over the northwest.
This triggered more than a decade of conflict with the Saudi-led coalition, which backed
the internationally recognized government.
Let's bring in our guest panel joining me here in the studio is Muhammad al-Masri, he's
professor of media studies at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies.
And in Milan, we're joined by Ibrahim Jalal.
He's a senior researcher and policy advisor on Yemen, the Gulf, and the Horn of Africa.
If I could start with Ibrahim in Milan.
So Ibrahim, are we about to see the Ansarullah Houthis now widen their attacks to include
a whole range of targets beyond simply Israel?
Is that the direction that you see the Houthis going in?
Thanks for having me.
It was anticipated that the Houthis would join this war since February 28, it was
a matter of timing.
And when we review the Houthi cross-border attacks over the past couple of years and
decades, they always depend on faced and layered approach to scale up and widen those couple
of targets.
Over time, now that the Houthis have their arsenal intact, they have very deployed a
sizable amount of drones and missiles in a disenfliased manner, they will realize
over time that striking as they did in the past, but striking a target a thousand hundred kilometers
north is distant, less effective, although it adds up military pressure, exhausted defenses,
and they might be able to target eventually in the second and third phases what they would call
Israeli vesseling through a bubble mandem. And when that happened, we knew in 2020-2024-2025
But this means the global shipping passing through that, regardless of what they say,
induct us. So that might be another layer of escalation.
All right. That's an important point. We'll come back to it in a second. But
focusing here on the Gulf, Mohamed al-Masri, does this mean
further targeting and pressure on the Gulf? The Houthis are already talking about US
bases. Could it extend beyond that? That is possible. That is possible. I mean,
We're now entering the fifth week of this war, and with each passing day, we climb the escalation
ladder a little bit farther. And there's always the risk of bringing actors in.
People were asking for weeks now when the Iranians might play this card, might activate the
unsolvable Houthis. And now we're getting connected to the shift that we've seen in the
The US and Israeli attacks focusing more now on civilian infrastructure within Iran,
steel factories and so on.
Yeah, I think so.
I don't think it's a coincidence that yesterday you had a significant escalation by the Americans
and the Israelis targeting civilian infrastructure throughout Iran.
In one attack in Isfahan, according to Dropsite News, seven women and seven children were
killed in one attack.
there were other attacks on residential neighborhoods across the country, especially in Bahram.
And Israel has been using, according to some sources, these heavy bombs, these 2,000-pound
bombs that are knocking out basically residential neighborhoods, like an entire city block.
And so with that in mind, and Israel also yesterday attacked at least one university,
I think today's activation of the Houthis is not a coincidence as a response.
Okay, and Ibrahim, you mentioned international shipping. Just how critical are the shipping
lanes near Yemen to the world economy? When you look at some of the details, 12% of the world's
seaborn oil, 10% of its LNG, 10% of world trade going through the Babelmandab Strait, right?
That's very alarming, especially when it's compounded by a coordinated multistrate blockade,
as we see now with the Hormostrate.
This is exactly the theatre that Iran has been preparing for what we saw in the past
few years with the Houthis.
That was a smaller-scale, performative, geographically-bounded operation.
It's been always bounded to what this would mean when we have a coordinated multistrate
blockade where you have a greater deniability of, you know, very time-passive structure of
LNG across a few straights, and this might even extend to direct targeting of Swiss canals,
especially now that we have the YAMBOT E-Swiss pipeline, which has been routing a few millions of
Saudi-proof oil when it's been one of the bypasses that are functional. So this is
alarming in many ways. It would highly likely invite international responses to our getting the
healthies. And the healthies have made it to the national security doctrines of many states.
This will not go unresponded to and is only deepening, you know, the the the whole direction
of the weakening of the.
Hello.
fancy seeing you here we're back and we're back ladies and gentlemen we are
back boys, girls and enemies so we're on our way with no Kings rally right now
we're gonna intercept it I believe it started at Central Park and it's
making its way down right now and wait let me actually check to see if we're
actually back okay but yeah we're on our way to a no Kings rally right
right now here in Manhattan, and they are, I don't know how many people are
actually out there right now, I don't know how big the crowds are, I haven't
really seen a lot of local news coverage on it, but we are going to be
intercepting it on the way downtown as people are walking. And one of the
reasons why I wanted to do this is because obviously there's a lot of
chaos and a lot of commotion in the United States of America. If you're
I'm familiar if you're aware. I think crowds look pretty big, um, okay
but
These no-kings rallies are
Put together by an assortment of different like advocacy organizations and groups like very
Localized as well all around the country
But like the the umbrella group that that owns the protest is 50 501 or 501 50
I think it's idea. Well, anyway, it's like indivisible. They're very indivisible
They're like a very liberal organization for the most part, so there's been like criticisms
about what these protests represent and what they should represent, and people talk about
like how disorganized it is or whatever, but I think like I have a policy that any kind
of action is good in general, anything that gets people offside, gets people organized
is good, and so we're gonna test that theory on whether or not people actually
are on the ball as far as like what some of the more prescient, some of the more like some of the
I want to figure out what the biggest issues are for the people that are at the Notings Rally you
know so we're gonna be hopefully talking to some people and seeing where the resentment is
coming from what has led them to go out and take to the streets on this otherwise beautiful
Saturday afternoon here it's a 2.43 p.m. Eastern time in New York New York what
do you think no one do you feel like do you feel like these I mean we've we've
talked about this a little bit there's not really a lot of anti-war rallies
taking place in the country no I think it's the people I'm over this
probably fun it's in the dark yeah like yeah I could be anybody like when
when it comes back to us.
Turn your light on.
Oh yeah, that's a good idea.
I forgot that we go through tunnels when we're here.
Look, I think this thing that I've been pointing out a lot on Twitter and in conversations
at the time, where is the anti-war movement?
Vietnam War.
You know, short answer to that question is that, well, we don't have a draft.
Part of how an anti-war culture and an anti-war political movement developed in
in this country and when it develops is because
Americans feel the war in a human cost not just in the body bags either but you
know I mean
uh... people go
to
places uh... you know by people like
thousands of Americans being a million serving the world or two of
history
uh... get deployed overseas in support of these things and occurs a cost
that generates backlash
it's so i think that it's in check if you're being re if you're
you know, without making a normative judgment about it,
but just sort of trying to paint a descriptive truth,
the case is that like, yeah, there are not that many,
you know, like these gatherings are filled
with lots of people who, while politically,
they may hate the Iran War, you know,
it's not the basis of like why they're so inmate.
Yeah, and so I think, you know, it's like,
what does that mean then?
It's like, well, if I'm the organizer
of the No Kings rally, that's a different thing.
But if you want to show up to it,
I mean, there's a reason SJP chapters,
other radical organizations are present.
And it's, again, not because they agree
with everything the organizers do,
but just because it's like, in this country,
when you see who is the ability to fill streets
with that many thousands of people,
I think it's, you can't deny,
it's an opportunity to connect or reach out
to all of those thousands.
I mean, this is also, yeah,
this is part of what I talk about when I say,
liberalism is the mass movement, unfortunately.
most people are self identifying liberals even if they even if their world view
might be a little bit more radical than that I have to open the door and close
it real quick this might shit is stuck
sorry I might trench coach was trinch coat was stuck um but yeah liberals most
people are self identifying as liberals even if they have like if they got
more political education they would recognize that there's something beyond
that that's a big part of my advocacy as far as the foreign policy goes
though. I think we have a very deliberate design in mainstream media for many, many
years to totally decouple Americans broadly from even thinking about
like what our actions are responsible for globally and what kind of impact that
even has on our domestic existence.
So what I mean by that is, people just see that as something that's happening over there.
War is constant, people are always going, there's poverty draft angle to it as well,
there's no real draft like you said.
So people don't have to think about it and they don't see it in the news that much either.
And so like war and constant war is only an afterthought for overwhelming number, an overwhelming
number of Americans.
Even though it has a major domestic impact because as I always like to point out, you
know, every dollar that you spend bombing a school is a dollar that you could have
spent here building a school.
And also, like, you know, from the fucking Patriot Act to everything we're seeing on
college campuses now, you know, with the restrictions on the streets, the speech that I'm trying
to impose, like, you know, the war is also, like, it is, it's not just a thing that
happens over there, like, it has a home front, as they would say.
And that home front gets kind of crazier and crazier every day.
and wilder and you know people may not conceive of what of the turmoil that the
country is in as that you know that may not be how they understand it which is
fine but I think a lot of people you know it's it's the depravity of the
policy abroad combined with the total like care you know like a aggressive
recklessness or whatever here it's they see that and it's not I think they're
open to some pretty radical ideas about how to tame it. More radical, certainly, than the, you know,
political system currently allows for. Absolutely. And that's like, that's what I was trying to stress
with the, with the hit pieces that have been coming and rolling in this past week where it's like,
I'm just one person. I, the reason why I'm popular, I mean, you're like 1.5 size. Okay,
I'm one, one and a half persons. But the reason why I'm popular is not because like, I have
the capacity to hypnotize people into assuming certain positions, it's because they do have
those positions. I'm simply communicating those positions. I'm able to identify the shared
resentment that we all have, you know, with the inability to change the sense of overall
like powerlessness and the demands. I'm just able to identify the same shared resentment
that we have and communicate them more effectively. So even if you were to like take me out
somehow. It would not change that overall force of resentment that exists in the base right
now. That's reflected in the polls as well. When you look at the approval ratings of the
Democratic Party still, not as great as they should be, especially when we have an unprecedented
unpopular president.
That tells the whole thing, like those polls that show how even though Republicans and
the Trump administration are unpopular for how they are handling pretty much every
issue on a relative basis, sometimes they still out cold Democrats on a generic basis,
like generic issue association, immigration, etc. They still beat up Democrats. And that
is, I'm not sure I could contemplate like a more devastating reality, right? That they
are in power, they are unpopular, everybody resents the shit out of it, and the only
form of political opposition that our system allows for is actually even less effective
at reaching people. I mean, it's like a bad joke.
Yeah. And it's so funny that we're in many ways relitigating 2016 and we're relitigating
2024 as well. And especially in the case of Abdul Al Sayed, we're relitigating it in the
same place where they already made the exact same mistakes that they're seemingly
going back to the graveyard of 2016 and 2024 like they're committing to the
same exact issue where they're like no you don't understand we have to find a
we have to find a way we have to find a way to like find a reasonable
moderate centrist opinion on an issue that is 90-10 where we still maintain a
a posh or like critical of Israel, like an Israel critical posh or or what they say now
I mean what what's increasingly clear to me in the rhetoric of what's evolving is that there's now a group of people who
They want to be able to treat the influence of organizations like APEC and the
Power of the Israel lobby and so forth even if they don't agree with it even if they would not say these are my views
They are comfortable letting them sit as established political fact that they are facts of political life
That you have to get along with and they have to agree with and that you have to in some measure cope with if you want to
Do anything else?
You know, it's a series of rationalizations in other words. Yeah
I do love this though. This is like the the common the common meme
This is such a perfectly like internet phenomena, too
And it doesn't have like a real base of support in the party at all
I don't think it has a real basis in the real world at all like most people don't know me and
I'm sure there might even be more people that know when Nick Fuentes is now
Then then someone like myself. I suspect that I mean he fucking dying with the president, right?
But most people's opinion of him is that he is, you know, not a very favorable person.
I think, like, by and large, most people don't know who I am, but the ones that do have a
relatively positive opinion of me because of the values that I represent and what they've
seen of my advocacy.
But if you were to look at Twitter, it's like I'm, you know, I'm a devil, depending
on who you're talking to, I'm either like actively trying to infiltrate the
Democratic Party to destroy it so that Republicans can win, or I'm, you know,
a homosnick who wants to get the Democrats to commit to offering material
support to resistance fronts all around the world. You know, I just wanted to
feed the Republicans. Like when it comes to electoralism, regardless of my
worldview, regardless of my perspective, I just want to defeat the Republicans. I don't
want Republicans to be in charge. I'm tired of the, like, evil chud-menace, man.
Yeah, they're gross. I mean, it's also just, like, it's the... I think one of the
things that is, like, so kind of like apocalyptically weird about this
circumstance is also the extent to which, if you were serious about wanting
to beat them, then you wouldn't really be splitting hairs over support for Israel.
You know, this very obvious, like, generational thing.
Dude, that's why my favorite...
It's, it's, it'll, you know, I mean, we've had this conversation over and over again,
but it's, it's just sort of, like, shocking.
My favorite is Matt Iglesias, who has also finally come to the conclusion that Israel
is a dead, is a dead end, and that, like, I mean, he straight up, he quotes, tweeted
the the adam ran
uh... post
way where is it and he said
as someone who is
as a new absolutely fears the lefts growing power i think the smart place for
moderate them to go on by the show and agree with them that israel is that and
then stick their guns on other moderates though i mean but this is
where it's like it's
i i i love it because it's like okay maddox lacyus is telling his side
uh... surrender please just like it's not worth it yet no even fucking him
was stubborn asshole
Yeah, cause it's such a, like you have to be unimaginably echo chambered, like you have
to be living on a totally separate plane of existence to not recognize where the public
is at on this issue.
Actually, maybe approaching a position soon.
Oh, yeah.
It may be worth walking.
They're not there yet at all.
So we're...
Oh, they're fine.
They're fine.
Cause they're walking here.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm just looking at the GPS on drivers, see what I mean?
Yeah.
I was just going to say let's just keep an eye on him.
I think Andrew might want to bring my crew to the airport.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
I
Also to like the earlier stuff about the anti-war thing I think something that's like really I
Feel pretty strongly about these days is also that
like if you
Look at the way that like our media and the information that people consume about the world
And what they're led to believe is important and you know, I'm including like highly educated people not that educated people
people, high information consumers, people who do have the opposite of Taylor and screen
time, like probably speaking, whatever information they do get about the world, it does not necessarily
like prioritize any of this stuff.
It does not tell them that it is that important or that it affects them in major ways.
And like for the many, you know, rather infinite flaws of 20th century America and
in the 20th century, you know, like world information society in the West.
There was like a pretty active, there was a prestige that was accorded to thinking about
the world, you know, I mean, it was not, you know, it was not an afterthought or far from
what it wasn't just thought of as America, you know, being like treating poor countries
like a charity case.
It was, there was a sense that there was a world out there that, you know, people
in America, obviously a lot of them thought it had to be tamed, but they wanted to engage
with it. And I think now it's just kind of undeniable that, you know, that's that people
are, we've retreated in ourselves as a country. And, you know, that's not like a, like a,
that's just the way it is. And you're going to have to contend with it and find ways
to bring, draw people out of it, however best you can. You know, it's not going
to be like waiting for a political tendency to emerge that is suddenly like
figured out one weird trick to get everybody to care about foreign policy
it's not gonna happen. The world is just gonna have to change in such a way to
force that and you know the best you can do is prepare people for how to engage
with that reality. Do you want to see the polls that Manhattan Institute did?
It was the only time I've ever been pulled amongst like I guess other figures
in the Democratic Party. Yeah, Manhattan Institute by the way, which is like a right-wing thing to do. Yeah, but I think they're probably doing...
I know I don't think I don't know I don't think that their enemies their polls are bad
I just mean that like whatever they fought like but it this way
I'm preparing the I'm preparing the audience for the fact that if the numbers aren't so bad that that is evidence against interest with them
Yeah, so
They they found that 55% of the voters that they asked didn't know who I was and I have a 50-50 split amongst the
Favorability on favorability. I think I'm a plus one, right?
And it's and it's interesting because it's like I think it's like third
14% like me have a favorable view of me and then 13% don't have a favorable view of me
And it's like 55% don't know who I am
So the conversation that we're having is is also stupid in that regard as well because they've like I like the people
that are on the third way side of things the people who are like, you know
centrists that that are trying to maintain their group of power on the on the party
They are using me as like a signal to like left bash
That's all this is that's what I keep trying to repeat and reiterate over and over again
It's not because like I'm some sort of kingmaker or so. Yeah, that's what I said to you the other day that it's that you're an avatar
Yeah, like you it's there's no
Also, it's like, you know, this is now gonna I think that there is also a
Accidental Streisand effect. Yeah, it's it's this like this idea that they believe that
They're like oh this guy is so if so facto unpleasant this you know this like disgusting Ugo
Who nobody likes to look at and who is uncharismatic like we got a draw attention
You know like that's they're like yeah, I don't understand
Yeah, why won't they why won't they listen to my guy instead? You know, I mean
I mean, look, actually, this is their answer to that.
It's that because they don't have a guy,
so they have to make sure the other team
doesn't have a guy, too.
Yeah.
You know, it's like if you couldn't make a nuke,
you take out the other guy's nuke.
Yeah, Josh Kraushar is, this is his week, dude.
Oh, hotline, Josh.
Yeah, this is his friggin' week.
I love people saying,
do you condemn the Jewish defense league under his?
Do you condemn the Judeo?
The Judeo.
You condemn the JDO.
That has been an interesting conversation as well,
like seeing people straight up.
Like Zoram Mdani came out and spoke
about the assassination attempt against the Nrdinkas Wani
pro-Palestinian navigator, Palestinian herself.
And every single one of his top replies
was literally people saying that he's anti-Semitic
We're calling out the JT, you know?
It's like that's that's a winning argument. I mean it's people don't know I mean look it's a very I think people
It's like really crazy. I think if you
Like there's there's a we've talked to this before also like the projection where it's like people assume that groups like you know
SJP or
You know within our lifetime or whatever like that these are groups that
essentially do the same kind of stuff that pro-israel groups used to do in for
example the 1980s and 90s and still to this day you know yeah exactly like
prominent activists and stuff and so there is this you know I think the idea
that like Mayor Kahana for example that like the JDL like that these were you
know groups by the way the JDL's equivalent in Israel a party a political
party called Kach was outlawed in Israel. They were too extreme for even Israel at that time.
Well, because like Baruch Goldstein was an Acolyte, right?
Yes, correct. And now to be clear, that's not to say that like, wow, Israel did such a good
job. It's that they outlawed that party and now disciples of that party's intellectual
quarters. Well, they have viewers' power now.
Well, yeah, I was about to say, now you have like Smotrich and in particular Ben
who are who come from that school of thought yeah but no that's what I mean
there are their Jewish or there has been a history of Jewish organizations doing
this kind of stuff and the Jewish organization and groups like the ADL you
know they they get to just shake that off as they accuse other people of doing
what they themselves have done
We're like a block out I think
Yeah, we're close. Should we do is it faster to walk? Yes at this point. Yes, should we yeah, we start we can get out here
It's fine. Thank you
Great
All right, let's do it.
My favorite place, this is the number one place.
We're currently headed to Times Square.
favorite place in New York. Every real New Yorker will tell you that Times Square is
the best place to be. It's kind of like Hollywood Boulevard. It's kind of like
Hollywood Boulevard. You know when you go to Los Angeles, you go to Hollywood
Boulevard. It's the best way to understand what living in Los Angeles is.
That's crazy. That's bad. It's awful. I'm gonna step in here real quick.
Stepping in those cars?
Get him, get him, get him, get him, get him.
BDS, BDS, BDS, BDS.
This guy, this guy, he's out of control.
This guy's out of control.
He just got really excited.
But yeah, we're gonna be linking with Andrew Epstein
and with Claire.
Tell you.
And the DSA folks as well.
get a read on, you know, what their attitude has been so far about the no-kings protest.
The last day of petitions for them.
The last day of petitions?
Yeah, last day of petitions.
What?
What tomorrow is, to get them on the ballot.
Oh, to get them on the ballot, okay.
Cool, cool.
But I'm not mistaken, at least for all the assembly.
For the, for the DSA slate.
That's right.
Yeah.
God damn it's cold, man.
Yeah.
What the hell?
New York.
It's going to be 70 degrees on Wednesday.
What?
gonna be 70 degrees on Wednesday. Yeah, well, I'm not right now. No, as far as I'm
seeing. Unfortunately,
everyone was calling me a Zara was make fun of me last night for saying it's
it's unbelievably cold in New York, which it was shivering.
I got a nice stylish stand, Iraq. Yeah, you got it. There you go.
Alright, let's keep moving.
Oof.
It's a lot colder than I thought it was going to be.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Oh, well you can get you and I love New York beanie.
I don't- I want to- I want to NYC Tucker Carlson Commie beanie. That's what I want.
So I was telling me last night, how did you let- how did you let that one go?
That is true. I- it's like-
It's my merch, that should be fine.
And I feel like the idea of like Turner-Harvesting going and like finding like some DSA like merch
designer and being like everything that you've ever wanted to do and each and every one of
you.
Yeah, going boss to the wall like you know, because Republicans can't get away with that.
That's the other thing.
Well, yeah, because, but that's like, okay, but that's, it's because it's the principle
right?
It's like how it's like, like why you should never wear a T-shirt.
This is like anti-pedophile.
You know, it's just like, they don't care about that.
They don't mind having the hammer and sickle on their shirt.
Like, they are actually, like, they even,
if it's like a negative thing or whatever,
because they have a taste.
Yeah, they are, I think they're literally like two,
two blocks out.
We are one block out from,
like we have to walk as fast as possible
so we can catch up to them.
Because like, we're gonna be, boom, connecting.
They're coming off Seven Avenue.
Yeah, we're heading to the next one.
Yeah.
Well, we'll hit him.
Hopefully.
Surely.
Oh.
I might need to get some model of New York gloves.
God damn, I'm so too close.
Do you mind?
No, I'm good.
I'm good.
I'll figure.
It's like, I mean, it's a nice jacket, but it is also kind of like a raincoat.
I thought that this would be enough.
I was wrong.
Oh.
It's like Ford's low 40s. It's 42 but what does it feel like like?
I don't know man. It feels like 26.
What?
Screen on black for a second.
Well that's also because we're...
Wait, screen on black for a second?
Let's see.
What's up?
What's up?
Sure.
Yeah, it's fine.
It's fine.
Okay.
There's a minor.
Hi, Kat.
Nice to meet you.
How are you?
What are they saying?
It says no memory inserted?
Wait, I don't see it.
No, it's fine.
Okay, great.
Great.
I
Mean it is also like midtown Manhattan is like no tourists. They just like a wind. Yeah, it's not magic bro. It says feels like 26
That's not good. I
Was not ready. I was like thinking it's gonna be like 50 60 degrees maybe
That was foolish of me. I guess we can walk.
Turnin' a murder-ravel is all over again.
Yeah.
I like this version of this midnight cowboy. Actually, yeah, you've never seen midnight cowboy.
I've never seen midnight cowboy. Anyway, so for your audience, Joe Buck Ratzo
Oh, there they are see we caught him
Do you think you could get you in man of these dogs maybe
oh yeah there it is all right where are they
okay where you at Andrew I mean is he is he walking with the crowd what's he
I'm not gonna repeat away, but I'm gonna text him.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Love your hat.
Here it is, my favorite place in New York.
We're a minute out from where he is.
I think we're literally going to be walking past them
walking past them as we get there. Also Donny's calling me. What up Donny? 45 and 7. Yeah, where are you at?
Are you walking down? Alright, we'll wait for you here.
We're in Broadway, 7th, we're 45 in Broadway, 45 in Broadway, so we're next to the Swatch
store. Yeah, in a hot, uh, yeah, it's my store.
Okay, alright, go around.
Look at that!
Conker Juggler, where Jews are made of.
There's nothing you can't do.
Wow!
That's a big crowd.
That is a big crowd.
Good.
Very cold.
Very cold.
Not cold as I thought it was going to be.
Goddamn.
One of the things that I noticed immediately when we come to these sorts of rallies, especially
the No Kings rallies, is actually the demographics of the crowd.
A lot of the people that come out here are oftentimes not as young as you'd expect them,
even though there are young people here as well.
Many of the people here are a lot older, a lot whiter.
And I do think that this is something that the Democratic Party doesn't understand,
far as like where the base is at they oftentimes associate you know anti-war
movements and people demanding more from the party with like I guess some sort of
like youthful appetite for more but it's actually a lot of the older people in
my experience that share similar resentments that we do in our community
with the Democratic Party's inability to address holding up signs
I'd say, you know, like Epstein Class, no war.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What's up, man?
Go ahead and say hello.
My name is Matt.
Jim, I'm not going to touch the camera.
Can I tell you a pic?
Sure.
Appreciate your stream.
Come on.
Make a stream.
Thank you.
I'm going to get ready to.
I know that the people that are, uh, what's up, man?
How are you?
Appreciate it.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's do it.
I know that those aren't old people.
These are lifelong democratic party voters, right?
Well, yeah, and also it's like, you know,
I don't think we've had a,
so I think quite as,
I don't know, so I think quite as all the live buttons
is like the last six months.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't remember the last one, it's like.
No, we're on camera, there's a lot of encirclement.
Yeah.
So, for the record, remember when you flip,
when you flip the camera,
they won't be able to hear us at all.
I feel like, oh hi, nice to see you guys, um, yeah.
I see some watermelons.
Look at this lady with the hood on.
Pedal belly counters, fully covered by a draft doctor,
rapist, cheater.
Had enough, lock them up, I love that.
What's up man? Hey, what's going on? Nice to meet you guys.
What's up? I'm actually running for state rep, I'm sure.
Nice. I'm actually shooting Marcus Colombo.
I just launched, so no followers right now.
I'm trying to run outside of an economic populist platform.
Hell yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Just not to mention that.
You guys take a quick photo?
Yeah, sorry.
No, no, it's fine.
Here, let's do it.
Here, thank you, and Jared.
Thanks for watching, you guys.
Have a good one.
Of course, you too.
So, let's do it?
Yeah, it's a let's do it kind of day, you already know what it is, man.
I told them Swatch but I'm gonna tell them we're a cross from Swatch.
Donnie are you, are you, I'm a cross from Swatch.
Like I'm on the other side I couldn't get to the Swatch side.
But you'll see me.
I didn't want to say hi.
What's up man?
I didn't want to interrupt you.
No, it's okay.
Dude, something goes in here.
Yeah, yeah, the cross from the spot mark.
Yeah, yeah.
We're a part of the McDonald's.
Like I'm a part of the McDonald's.
You can catch me in the arch.
All right, what's up? You want to take a photo?
Yeah, let's do it.
Yeah, all right, let's do it.
Dude, I hope you love your shit.
Thank you so much for just being like a voice on the fucking internet.
I'm going to catch up with my friends, but...
Oh, it's awesome seeing you.
I'm Zach, by the way.
What?
Nice to meet you.
Yes, yes.
Good to see you.
Okay.
You should tell him.
Do you tell Andrew to bring it?
Yeah.
I know.
He's calling.
Tony!
We're live on Twitch.
Yeah, what's going on?
Can we mic you up?
Yeah, of course.
How are you doing?
I'm doing alright.
I'm very cold.
Very, very cold.
How are you?
That's a better idea.
That's a better idea.
That's a better idea.
That's a better idea.
That's a better idea.
That's better.
Unido!
La Masa de la Regida!
Yeah, yeah, of course.
You already know these are people.
They're good generators, right?
It seems to be.
I mean, I think there's a lot of...
There's a lot of animosity
There's a lot of animosity towards the administration and I think people feel a little rudderless,
so they just like this bring a coalition of people that have maybe some shared resentment,
but also key issues that they care about.
There's like not everyone here is actually here exclusively because of the war in Iran, for example.
Some people are here because there's a war against trans people in this country and they care about that.
They care about that.
So I think overall it's a good umbrella to engage under.
And for some of our audience at CNN.com,
we might not be familiar with who you are.
You are a very influential, progressive streamer.
I'm a wedge.
On Twitch, which is video game stream.
Platform with news and politics.
But a lot of people might have seen your name
this morning in The New York Times,
in political playbooks, you have become an issue within the Democratic Party yourself.
Tell us about that.
I don't think I'm necessarily an issue within the Democratic Party as much as I am an issue
for a lot of consultants.
A lot of ALS, a lot of people that work with the Democrats, the Democratic political class,
they find someone like myself to be a bit of a disrupter
and they're very frustrated by it.
I don't think they should be if our goals are the same.
I don't want fascism to win in this country.
I don't want Republicans to win in this country.
We can argue on the methods.
Maybe you think that my worldview and my values
and the policies that I want, politicians to represent,
might be different than yours.
But at the end of the day, I think we have the same goals.
But the amount of time and effort
that some of these people are putting in,
the amount of time and effort some of these people,
like third way are spending resources that they're spending against me they
should be using against the Republican Party instead
it's a most recent sort of conversation debate about you
how do you use the right side?
who are you?
how do you use the right side?
how do you use the right side?
who are you?
how do you use the right side?
who are you?
how do you use the right side?
On Twitch, it's a website. You're on it now, too.
You're also on CNN.
Thank you for being here.
What's your name?
Hollydale.
Hollydale?
You gotta get on Twitch.
I know, it should be...
There's people in your demographic that watch me.
I knew you were going to say that.
No, there are. There are, really.
My devil.
You're like 45, right?
46?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, not a day over.
Why did you show up today?
Why did you come here today?
Because I think I'll see my friend.
Okay, you want to expand beyond that?
I think we're in second hand shape now.
I was in Chicago for 68, so this is the way I was in 1968.
Do you think the Democratic Party meeting the moment?
No.
That's about to ask the same question.
You're not, you don't think so?
The Democratic Party is keeping me mom with us?
Yeah.
No!
How do you like Zoram Mungani?
I love him.
That's awesome.
Hell yeah.
Who do you think would be a good presidential candidate?
I'm not sure.
I like three people.
But I'm actually interested in Jay.
J.B.
J.B.
I thought you were going to say J.D. Vance.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
I'll have to look out for you.
Okay.
Nice to meet you. Thank you.
No, I'm not.
I did look.
I'm going to take a picture of my mom with you.
She's a huge fan.
You're the early one.
I think it's actually the opposite. I've been a Democrat or a disappointed party. Turn their back.
And a lot of folks are kind of sitting on the outer edge. And he's been able to bring them back into the Democratic Party.
So we think it will happen in Bernie, the fire election.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for being here.
Nice to meet you.
That is, I'm from Nebraska.
So whenever Austin talks about Nebraska, I always have to be like, there are some
good ones.
No, no, we know.
That's right.
Thank you.
So they sort of made us debate about, I mean, I'm getting into this because
I think from some people we used to go here today.
Uh-huh.
They were like, Hassan, people were drawn out a lot of the thing.
That's what they were saying obviously.
People are saying a lot of younger people, also some people who name-check you directly and fancy yours.
The party needs to run more progressive candidates, candidates who are supposed to be out against Israel, various other things.
The debate that's going on about you right now is that you are too extreme, that you are anti-semitic,
and that Democratic candidate shouldn't associate themselves with you.
That's what the Democratic Party is.
Could you give us, I mean for the CNN audience, what's your response to that?
It's ridiculous. It's the only reason why this issue ever gets brought up.
It's a heinous smear, first of all. I've spent my entire professional media career
and far beyond that combating anti-Semitism.
I've been docked, slaughtered by neo-Nazis for my consistent advocacy against anti-Semitism.
I just also happen to be an avowed anti-Zionist.
I believe Zionism is a very racist ideology
It's an ethno-religious supremacist ideology
and it's the underpinning ideology that has caused the genocide of Palestinians
in the hands of Israel and also the United States of America
and because that is such an impossible issue to address on moral terms
that I think a lot of people cynically will say
prominent critics of Israel are anti-Semitic
Are there critics of Israel that are anti-Semitic? Absolutely
I'm not one of them.
As a matter of fact, I combat and fight against them pretty actively, which is why I find it
so distasteful and so ridiculous that these smears would consistently get advanced, only
because you can't have a conversation on where the party's moral center is right now.
This is a 90-10 issue, you know?
After October 7, 2023, there were a lot of people who were not willing to have
this conversation about 80 years or 75 years of apartheid at that time.
But now, after two and a half years of Israel's unlimited bombings, and genocide, a lot more
people are aware about exactly what was going on in the regular lives of Palestinians living
under this crippling apartheid on a good day, right?
So, you've seen ADL, the CEO of the ADL, John Greenback coming out and criticizing
candidates.
He's my biggest fan.
He's all this fan.
I think I even saw a political playbook today that did a survey of what candidates would speak to
But you have an issue of people taking obviously things you have said in the past
You speak online all day for a living
But two things that keep getting brought up
You said America, deserve 9-11
And you use the terms Linus Kate
hate. So there are two things that keep being brought up. I mean, how do you justify using
those? Same. I call Nazi pigs, Nazi pigs as well. Like I said, Zionism is an ideology.
It's up to the individual to associate with it or not. It's not a person thing, right?
I oppose and approve racism, ethno-supremacy, racial supremacy of every sort. I'm against
I'm an anti-fascist, I'm unapologetic about it, and I'm not going to compromise on that.
I think these kinds of aesthetic postures are distractions away from the real conversation.
I think many people understand it.
Even if they don't have the tools to properly communicate it, many people are frustrated.
So I think in this environment where a lot of people are frustrated, I'm very fearful.
I talked about the Oxford Union as well a couple of years ago where I warned people.
I was like, the association of Judaism and Israel is very dangerous.
It's a false conflation, people are people, states are totally separate from the people.
No matter how much people advocate for state violence or state action, they can change their minds, right?
So a criticism of the state should not be criticism of an entire people, especially Jewish people, American Jews.
They have nothing to do with Israel at the end of the day.
They might support it, some do, certainly.
But it says nothing about an entire group of people.
People are not monolithic at all.
Who's the candidate?
I mean, I remember interviewing you back at the DNC in 2024.
You were invited to the DNC as a content creator.
But back then, who's, you know, you had,
I don't think you wanted to vote for Harris.
Yes, I said that I would not,
I would not endorse Kamala Harris unless she actually separated from Joe Biden on the issue
of the genocide in Gaza, which the Democrats of the time were participating in.
This happened under our watch.
And we had many off-ranks.
We have tremendous control over what Israel gets to do.
And instead of actually enforcing the red lines that Biden said he wanted to enforce,
We decided to allow Benjamin Indian to go all over those red lines and the results were
disastrous.
And now we have Donald Trump as president, as a consequence of that.
That was a major warning that I wanted to issue to any Democrat that would listen to
me, whether they're consultants, analysts, politicians, privately, publicly, and I
urge them, not just on Israel either, mind you, I urge them on the issue of immigration.
Many people out here right now are here because they're frustrated with this
unaccountable gestapo force that
whes, masks, and kidnaps our neighbors
for no other reason other than, you know,
some kind of ridiculous white nativist
anti-immigrant stance that they wanna enforce
to distract away from their lack of interest
in fixing people's economic problems.
So who's the candidate in 2020 years?
And I'm asking you this because
one, obviously you have a big following,
but two, I think you represent a,
We see this on the right too. I was at CPAC this week where a lot of people are very unhappy.
Young men who voted for Trump unhappy about the war on Iran.
Who is a candidate that would, a Democratic candidate that could speak to you and people who follow you?
I mean a lot of people in my community are very excited about AOC, but who knows what she's willing to do.
The thing is, 2028 is so far away, we didn't even have any assurances that we will be having
a 2028 presidential election.
I mean, the way the Republicans are moving, they're moving like there's never going to
be elections ever again, right?
So I'm more focused on what's immediately ahead of us right now.
I think that's what we should be focusing on and protesting against this administration,
no matter how much outrage fatigue people have, because there have been some significant
people-backed movements that have won, really.
I mean, Minneapolis is a great example of this.
People immediately instituted neighborhood watch against ICE agents that were trying
to kidnap people, and they won.
They were able to force ICE out of Minneapolis, and they even were able to collect the
scalp in the process as well.
You know, curiously, no one is no longer the DHS secretary.
Obviously, there were some other issues there as well as corruption that played a role in that too.
There was a lot of scandal, but let's be real, who isn't corrupt in this administration?
So I do genuinely think that that was a pressure valve for this administration to say
that we're taking a different approach when it comes to the DHS for one reason or another.
But I think it was because of that public pushback.
Alright, I'll let you go because you have a long line of fans here.
Yeah, we got.
Patiently waiting for you.
Yeah.
He's a big fan of yours.
Uh-huh.
I mean when I referenced that you know questions about candidates and who to
support in the 2028s. Are you gonna run?
No. I don't think America is ready for a court-to-go white boy like me just yet.
I'm going to be at the Bernie rally as well, yeah. I'm going to be there with
I'm gonna eat it up.
I think I can get it.
All right, perfect.
Thanks to you.
Thanks to you.
Thanks.
What's up, dude?
I appreciate you every day.
I hope I brush you well in the sea of denim.
I think?
Yeah.
High shot.
Hi, friends.
What's up?
What's up?
This is like our fourth meeting.
You guys are my best friends again.
Yeah.
We really appreciate you.
I organized the anti-isaction at John Jay College, and I was able to get like
at least a thousand votes, a thousand signatures.
I honestly credit some of your speaking, second language,
speak to my fellow peers.
It means a lot.
And I don't have to describe how much influence my life
after I come to Seven Cool.
I've been part of a lot of anti-Zionist organization.
I was even at the synagogue in Cuba,
in my neighborhood.
And it was Gajanes.
And these Gajanes literally gathered around us
and tried to literally jump some of us.
Yeah, and they were like, they were pretty tall.
And they aericated us.
And it was like a plunge of guys running towards us.
We had to literally break the record ourselves to leave before we got done and there was like a kid who was like no less than some
I like well and they were like like saying like a trade is like
Disgusting shit. Yeah, and I hate how the news doesn't like that
So I thought like I needed to say that to you because it would it happened. I saw it
I was there. Yeah, like the harness are not like good people. They are they are basically
Horrific people who really to jump to their terrace. They're actually
Thank you. Thank you. They call me the Terrors.
Anyways, um, I would say your coverage is helping me get more involved into this sort of stuff.
Hell yeah.
We actually have a little Palestine contingent, but they push us all the way to the map.
Uh-huh.
I've also been doing some volunteering electorally, uh, came to Srazoran, and also, um, came to sing for this other guy who's running for hundreds.
You know, Chuck Park is?
Um, no.
He is running against Grace Mang, who is the one-time company in District 6.
District 6, and Grace has always been a big supporter of Israel, she won our first
for her back in 2010. She also did this really wild thing where she wished
Iqbal Bahra to her Muslim constituents using the same graphic that Israel used.
That's crazy. But yeah. Wow. I think Chuck is someone you would be
interested in. I have literature on them. Okay.
Don't worry about it. I'll look him up. Oh, you got it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, I think I've seen this guy. Yeah
Yeah, but um
But yeah, like you can see his policy on the back he supports the washing ice medica for all in her social care
Putting an end to foreign wars and bring that money back here whereas like Grace Meng she actually signed on a resolution banking ice
so yeah she you know she's never really out there talking to a constituent
meanwhile Chuck is always out there trying to make himself known I think I
think you should definitely like I would want to stream at some point for sure
these are sponsored on Instagram so you can hit him up for sure
nice to meet you man oh really yeah oh that the one non-air times yeah oh yeah
it's not the most flattering angle I was a little disheveled but what are you
I'm not, it was the Queen's Values.
Hell yeah.
I'm sorry.
Nice to see you again.
Can I take a photo?
Yeah.
Thank you.
What's up guys?
Oh Jesus.
Wait, where's Noah?
Noah, where's the DSA guys at?
Yeah.
No, he hasn't.
You know who he's with, aside from Claire.
Claire's gone.
Um, let me see, where is he at?
Wait, did he just pass us?
I think they're not here yet.
Oh, they're walking.
No, no, no, no, no.
They're closing in.
Alright, they're coming in.
Hello?
I remember my kids with you.
Remember me?
You heard me?
Wow!
I want you to see this.
My cat lost you.
Oh!
You're so sweet.
Thank you.
You're my favorite.
This place looks like this.
I work for my family.
I listen to the street hall day every single day.
It's like exact opposite.
I don't preach exact opposite.
Wish I could possibly commentate for the most part.
Not for me.
Maybe one day, I'll have to put a minute there
if 100K followers.
It's really right way.
I'll be trying to mold it until the last minute.
I'm posting as much as I can, but.
One day, let's see.
Are you thinking about it?
It's the secret to my family out of my passion.
I know it is on the image of one time.
Maybe, who knows?
I appreciate this.
I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Take care.

We were actually starting out watching again.
You're on shame about what you just said, you know.
Yeah, oh, don't worry.
There was more details revealed.
But we wanted to know if there's any way you'd be able to speak to most of the Columbia members.
I mean, I saw Mama last night. I talk to her, really?
Really?

Hello!
I'm Audrey and I'm still in this game.
I was in New York City for trans people.
I feel like no one knows that.
I just feel like that except for
the cops that came to see me.
I've never been on a stuff called this trip.
Oh no!
That's so annoying!
It was so bad that even like the
Pocs Save America guys were immediately like
shut up!
Yeah.
There's a lot of stuff.
There's a family of trans issues, and so it was a, it should have never even been a primary
vote to the campaign.
And it really wasn't on the common side either.
They just like, you know, like, they patched it up a little bit.
They shouldn't want to end because there's nothing else.
There's nothing else that they were fighting for.
My argument always is like, obviously you should be on the common side of your
values, but also, if you actually offer people things, like, they're not going
I'm going to be able to constantly talk about what we're going to do by talking to people
Why is this an issue?
It shouldn't be something we're all talking about
Yeah, let's talk about it
Sorry
Nice to meet you
What's up?
Hi
I don't watch people because I sit in front of my tree
I appreciate the work you do
Yeah
Do you know what we're going to talk about?
Yeah
All right, thank you
We should move, right?
Yeah
We should start when we walk in the car
Yeah, you're ready.
Yeah, hold the person's side.
Alright, thanks guys.
I have a question for you.
It's from my brother.
Are you going to get John Kiriaka on the street, whatever?
John Kiriaka? Yeah.
He initially said that he wasn't going to do it,
but then he also said that he actually is planning on doing it.
And it's weird because like we've been talking to him
and he's been super excited
in the private conversations that we've been having,
like my team and his team were talking.
So I don't know why he said that initially, but yeah, I think so eventually
Yeah, nice to meet you
We got Hasan much in the wild.
Sure.
I'm gonna color fix that.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, thank you.
I'll get one.
I took a merch.
I'll get one.
There are 40 persons out there right now. Let the USA group.
Yeah, we'll just do it.
I wanted to link up with Andrew,
but he left already anyway, so that's a mess.
Okay.
So good.
Hi.
Hi, it's nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Hi.
Thanks for being here.
I just wanted to say thank you so much for your advocacy for LGBTQ rights, and especially
the Impact Party.
We're from Jersey.
Yeah.
And our politicians can be so fucking disappointing.
Yeah.
Well, tomorrow I'm going to go with Natalie Amadeus.
Yeah.
She's, at least there's someone.
Yeah.
Someone out there, you know?
Your streams, literally every time I have like a, like I go through like a doomer crisis,
literally creepy like bumpers so I really appreciate it.
Thank you for watching, thank you for being here guys.
Yeah, of course.
Thank you so much, thank you.
No, we should start moving with the crowd I think.
I don't know what this room is but...
Alright, let's go.
I just want to thank you. I listen to you every day. I have an old lady.
You want to take a photo? Yeah, let's do it.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
Sure.
All right, quick.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Sure.
Thanks for covering.
Thank you.
Thank you so much, man.
Okay, thank you so much, man.
I'm feeling good.
Let's look into that.
Here, let's go.
Give it up.
This is Joe Veneta.
Hi, I'm Joe Veneta.
I'm from New York.
I'm a Democratic Socialist of America.
We'll walk because I have to go crack up
with the rest of the DSA convention.
We'll stumbling all over the place here.
But, yeah, I just wanted to give a shout out
to YDSA if you are a bunch of college students
because I know, listen, I haven't done this a lot of years.
I know a lot of people are in college,
a lot of you are in high school too.
Really good opportunity to start getting organized
at your colleges and your high schools.
These are really strong places for you all
to start getting people politically involved
because we all feel it day to day at our colleges,
but also we do have some campaigns
we're focusing on right now,
especially with sanctuary city campaigns,
because that's really what a lot of the moment is.
So I just want to give a shout out to that.
Join YDSA and if you're in New York City, shout out New York City DSA.
Go to New York City.
Go to New York City.
Go to New York City.
I see that slash join.
And yeah.
So just that NYC slash join.
I am like so cold.
I can't think of anything.
It's so cold.
I got a little used to it.
Honestly just look up online for the YDSA.
It'll be really easy to find the local chapter.
You can't find Chapman, there's a fan Chapman that you can get as a very easy to start one.
You just like to provide resources for you.
You're looking to help grow to your own.
Find your fastest growing socialist groups in the country.
Join YESA guys.
It is great.
Only for the community, but then just for us.
That's the only thing that's like holding me back from moving out here. Well that and also my entire my entire business I guess like all the stuff that I do is out there.
Yeah, I know, real. I keep saying this joke that, oh, global warming isn't real because it's climate change but like seriously it is so much colder.
like all the stuff that I do is out there.
Yeah, I know, real.
I keep saying this joke that global warming isn't real because it's climate change,
but like seriously, it is so much colder while the summers are so much hotter in New York City.
I've never experienced anything so cold at some point in my life.
I go to music on the regular and it does not get as hellishly hot.
A tropical country is colder than this place.
Yeah.
Let's go back to the...
This is the movie.
Just a like crowd.
What do you think of the vibe?
What do I think of the vibe?
I mean, it's nice.
I think it's interesting.
I don't remember the last time I saw this.
people out. It's pretty impressive. I think it tells you how many people just want to do anything,
anything at all that like lifts a middle finger, you know? Yeah, no, it's definitely like I think it
would be, I think like issue specific movements are a little bit better, but this kind of stuff is
It's also good, I think.
I just wanted to say hi, that's why you're here.
I'm a really big fan.
Nice to meet you, man.
Do you mind?
Yeah, yeah.
I don't want to interrupt you guys.
I know you're a nice little boy, go for it.
I thought you were a big fan of me.
Thank you, I'm a big fan of you too.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
You want to take a photo?
Yeah.
Yeah, let's do it.
From Germany.
Oh, wow, OK.
Thank you, nice to meet you there.
Thank you, nice to meet you.
Thank you.
Yeah, everybody's just want like it's a it's a measure of how much like ambient you know like
Like you know like liquid unformed like energy there is to be something. Yeah, even if right now it's just walking down the street
Yeah, in a big line and banging down your drums and
making a
Making a protest cardboard sign. Yeah about how like Donald Trump is a pedophile or something
It is the...
I mean, he is.
Yeah, that's true.
Read the documents.
Yeah.
It is, like, kind of crazy how quickly that one took over.
Yeah, like, that's why some people would be like elitists about it, but they're like,
Epstein's class doesn't actually fully understand the scope.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's actually the capitalist class.
But they really just signed a resume.
You're right, but like, I said this in the beginning of the Epstein stuff,
where I told my audience, like,
Epstein is the closest expression of, like, class warfare that the average American
that's never understood class positioning can comprehend yeah it's a big
club and you ain't in it kind of thing yeah no I would never go to that island
yeah it's like one of the never do that it's one of those things where it's like
being wealthy is considered aspirational this country right it's in
every facet of our existence it's like you know overall goal attainable not
attainable but like they ask for racial gold that they have but no one is
inspiring to be a pedophile on an island you know what I do well unless they're
Nick Fuentes yeah I was about to say I mean like listen you say that but I think
a lot of those guys do exist they're just on the other team yeah yeah that's
why they talk about how dope he is if he wasn't Jewish yeah they got one flaw
It's like one character cloth, everything else is great.
Yeah, he's like, oh my god.
They would be fine with it if he was doing a Christian style.
I mean, I guess that's honest.
There is an honesty in that.
But that's like, it's all the like...
Oh my god, they have a Robert Mueller.
Wow.
Yeah, Taps is playing.
You know, imagine that.
It's good.
Hold on one second.
Can you show this in here? Yeah yeah.
Good belt.
Thank you sir.
That's the first time someone said that.
Is that?
That's the first time someone told me that.
Okay we have to get a picture of them.
Oh wow.
Wait, you gotta look at those.
What is that?
We're aged three, like what do you guys do when you're like six years old or something?
Uh-huh.
I've been watching you over six, and then you know, the horse I sort of had to take a side.
Yeah.
I'm glad I took the right side.
Okay, it's like almost too dark, but you got to send that to me.
Yeah, absolutely.
I took a photo of him and mine at 3DS.
Oh wow, that's sick.
I didn't even know that I had the capability.
Yeah, it's so fun.
I've been taking photos on it a lot lately, but I really appreciate your work.
Nice to meet you, thank you.
Nice to meet you.
Julia, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you for being here.
How are you?
I'm still free now.
Now I'm freezing again.
I was fighting for a little bit.
Now it's just here in the middle of the wind, brother.
Yeah, I'm in the whittle.
We have the next...
When is the next interview supposed to be?
I'm having a look at my phone in a minute.
How long are you talking to?
I don't remember about pocket.
I'm coming in.
Hold on.
It's in the pocket.
I'm coming in.
I'm coming in.
I'm coming in.
I'm coming in.
I'm coming in.
I'm coming in.
I'm coming in.
Oh shit, hold on, it's in the pocket.
Oh yeah.
Oh, it's at five. We can do it earlier though.
What time is it now?
Four.
Four.
You want to do it around here, right?
We can do it around here, yeah, exactly.
I think the plan was, uh, we got a lot of room to do it here.
Yeah.
They think it's a mess.
You need to go warm your pants, please?
No.
No?
Yes.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
I'm freezing.
I don't know, I just have an intuition about these things.
Uh, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm such a bad person.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
My boyfriend's gonna be live with that.
You don't know what I'm talking about.
I'm sorry, that was...
I just really want to thank you honestly
because the way that you
distill complex ideas
is unlike a lot of people
online, frankly.
And as an anti-zionist,
you help me sort of articulate
some of my feelings about it,
especially people trying to tell me I'm not a real Jew,
so I really appreciate everything you do.
Thanks to you!
I'm so cold too, I live here but I grew up in the south so I'm so cold, it's freezing.
Yeah, we're in a wind tunnel right now, I'm from Elijah.
Anyway, thank you so much, I'm so glad you're here.
Thank you for being here.
Yeah, I appreciate you.
I like the band.
Yeah.
I like the van.
Yeah.
I mean, the thing about time-spirits is actually kind of an indie neighborhood.
Look, lesser known.
It's like an indie style, like you go under the radar.
Lesser known. No one ever talks about it.
I mean, what I just don't understand is like, they've got all these big buildings and everything.
It's like, why don't they put some more billboards on them?
words on them. Yeah that's what I was thinking. Not enough. They should do one. That's that's
actually what I might write since the Times Square. Do more. Sonny, you trying to grab those when you're working
here at work at office? Sometimes. I'm good man. Thank you trots. Oh my god. Oh my god trots dude.
that is so funny never saw what they did never know oh yeah so I'll confess it
for God's name but a fan who came over earlier and who's on stream for a minute
he gave me this to give you and he was saying he's for Puerto Rico and that the
conch yeah was the thing that people use you know slaves others to warn others
of incoming danger the gift was given in that spirit okay you know
That's kind of obvious.
No, no, I think it's like you're the one who warns people about...
Oh, oh, got it.
I don't think he's... I don't think he's...
You're dead.
Yeah. Your marks are dead.
Yeah.
Did you try it?
No, I'm not putting my mouth on that.
Are you fucking crazy?
I don't know where to fuck this shit down.
Bound.
Yeah, now.
Yeah, of course.
I hear you're breaking the cold in New York.
Thank you.
I've seen a lot of good free-house hot stuff, even though it's just a super liberal thing.

they're probably around the same time yeah I think so and we can probably find
it a little cafe where you can warm your hands yeah yeah I mean I'm not I'm
chill I'm not I don't think you're chill my daughter loves you she stops what
She's doing every day at two o'clock to watch her.
Oh, hell yeah.
Wonderful to meet you.
Thank you for being here.
Yeah, I love you.
It's a pleasure.
See, that's what we're learning.
Yeah, there's a bunch of house and army heads here, et cetera.
What there really are are the parents.
Yeah, there's your bag.
Of course.
Thank you.
Nice to meet you.
I think that's what it is, though.
Like, a lot of people tell me that they got their parents
to start watching as well.
Oh no, do you remember when you came last year?
I think, yeah, it was last year when we,
yeah, last summer when we were in Harlem
and we were walking and someone's mom came out?
Yeah, that's what I mean.
It's like, it's fun for the whole family.
I should really stop cursing, honestly.
That's what it is.
That's what I always say,
whenever I meet another mom, I'm like,
damn it, I should probably stop cursing.
And then I still keep cursing, it's not good.
I mean, I don't think people would really dig
the Mormon-Sanpikrax, but like,
I mean, if you're about that,
I think I just cursed too much.
That's what it is.
That's my problem.
It's one of your problems.
Yeah, I got many other problems.
I got many other problems.
Stop, stop.
Hey, it's good to meet you.
Keep up the good work, you do great.
Thank you for being here man.
No, I know, it's awesome, it's crazy out here.
Yeah.
Yeah, look at you.
Wow, wow, wow.
Watch out.
Yeah, it looks like it's starting to...
Watch out.
Yeah, okay.
And then we'll get into a car.
Yeah.
Let's cut, yay, yay, yay!
I didn't get any interaction.
Let's uh...
Yeah.
Let's go that way.
All right.
Let's cut, let's hit the sidewalk over there.
I agree.
I love your sign.
I'm so scared of these things
because I feel like I would fall into it.
I...
You don't have that fear.
No, that's right.
Well, I mean you should be afraid because you're a fucking giant and maybe you will like slide through it
Whereas me, you know, I'm infamously light as a feather, but I
The thing that I'm always scared of is that like my air pod
Actually, you know what I feel that way about when you're boarding a plane
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's like that two inches. Yes, dude same
I'm never like afraid of that on the subway whatever real New York I blah blah blah
But when I'm bored in a fucking plane, bro, that's not how I feel
No, I feel you. I have that exact same fear.
Yeah, this is supposed to be kind of the end of the process line too,
because like, that's where the positive flags are.
Apparently, they put the Palestine ones in the back.
Alright, let's call it.
Yeah, let's do it. Let's get over one now.
It'll be a little annoying for me to get here.
You might want to walk on the way down, okay?
Yeah, I agree. Look at it. Look at the mess over here.
As you can see, the block ahead of the...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That makes sense.
You can hear this. This conscious fucking pool of you.
You know, it's a very kind gift from that guy.
I really mean it, but it is really funny.
There's some other stuff in there.
It's a big bucket. Perfect. Hands free.
Well, it's just like it's in the pool.
That's why I gave it to you.
Exactly.
Yeah, jeez, the traffic here is bad.
It may not be the worst idea.
See if we could do it if you do it.
No.
It may not be the worst idea.
What?
No.
How's he going to do it?
I mean, listen, bro.
I can go ahead and try.
That's crazy.
It's, hey, we can rig it.
We can fucking, we got a little strap.
We can figure something out.
Yeah.
Did you get a hundred out of bike?
Yeah.
Well, I used to bike, I used to bike like crazy when I was younger.
city-wiking rules and wear a helmet but yeah there's a New York City's live
shirt with you and shirts from his bicycle
yeah see they're heading over a Herald Square down there let's just keep going
this way away it's easier to get a thing
We can go all the way, yeah, we can go with it.
It is like super funny imagining too, like the third way people like standing in front of that parade being like,
please don't say I've seen class.
Yeah, I'll have you guys know this guy's a real dangerous guy.
You should not be around him.
And also if you agree with him in any way shape or form you are not welcome in the tent
You were not a party 50,000 suburban mothers coming up to you to thank you for radicalizing their children in the jihad
Yeah, Maddie beat third way whatever fucking name is
Yeah, the jihad continues brother as you just saw it's just it's just so funny to
To be that out of touch where you're like this looks
Where we're going landing we were going
How was the audio throughout the duration?
Was it really loud and bad?
I had no way of checking I mean I got text from people watching so they were able to
hear something perfect it was good it was shrug it was fine okay perfect all right hell yeah
hell yeah hell yeah yeah if they say if they say it was even passable that means it was
fucking dying considering their sense of ass here oh my god I love you yes know what
know what see see what you've done chat he even he knows he's been on the street
long enough to know that you guys are you know like him audio is in three issues
i have audio is in three issues all the motherfucking time
less than 48 hours of savings left don't miss the final days and save 35% on
gift sub bundles go go go where my oiler is that
biker broadcasting service for tomorrow's news today
You like that tagline?
For tomorrow's news today.
I mean, you know, it's like...
Parking, broadcasting service.
It's like that line.
I think it was the Nathan Tank history, right?
About how, like...
Being like too early?
Exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know, I guess, you know, you know, you're leftist when you're right months
or years before someone else gets there.
And everybody yells at you for it?
Yeah, everybody gets mad at you.
And then it's also like...
I mean I guess it was tomorrow's news today in the sense that this week more than most
considering that literally everything you did then became news the next day.
Well yeah.
That's not even what I mean, I mean like I'm talking about like all of the, I mean this
has been an ongoing thing since October 7th but like we'll talk about something, we'll
cover it and then Al Jazeera will cover it like maybe a couple days after and then
New York Times will maybe cover it three months after, you know what I mean?
Like that's where I initially started saying that.
But even with like the Iran stuff, where the media has been a lot faster in response,
because it's like, it's not a non-state actor.
And I do think that the American media cares about that.
Because like, non-state actors, like we're just like oppressed people in general, you
never get their perspective.
Also like the state actor and you can have him on your show like a rock. Yeah, you're gonna rock. She's very different
I mean you're on let us CNN crew in I think if you know mad about that
That's so funny, which like you know for what it's worth. It's like yeah
There's like no journalists to get to go to Gaza because Israel doesn't let them in yeah
But there's also there's also contributor for like channel for like the French
It's both CNN and also like the French news networks as well like I see him. He's Iranian. He's in Iran
And he he does some coverage
Well, they yeah, they have it's not like you can you can take a plane and go to chair
I mean not right now. All right, but you can go through Vaughan. You can go through Turkey. Yeah, I was about to say Istanbul
That's like the
Thanks, Tom. Yeah, we're in the table. It's not it's not Islamabad
yeah all right here's where we can catch something yeah that's what I was thinking
Yeah
We're those very expensive we're those very expensive trash cans that
These aren't even the expensive ones, though.
No, no, no. Like, what you're talking about are like the bid.
There's $22 million of bid.
Empire bid.
I mean, I mostly, at first place I saw them was uptown.
That's where they started.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They haven't reached me yet. I still, like,
I live in a neighborhood where it's, like,
mostly still, like, rats and trash running around.
Yeah, yeah, what's up, man?
We just saw a sneaker.
Oh, no way.
It was cool.
My guess, huh?
You know where he's taking him?
I'm not his biggest fan, but he's learning.
He's going on in his own journey right now, you know?
Nice to meet you guys.
All right, let's do it.
You just got to New York?
Yeah.
Nice to meet you guys.
Thank you guys, thank you guys.
You're here to sneak off? No.
Yeah, but it's like funny cause like there's a, we have a, it's very strange because he's like free Palestine, you know?
Hi. Hi.
My name is, okay, I'm six years old.
Wow. Nice to meet you.
I'm so appreciative of the work that you do, it's crazy, and I take a picture of you.
Of course. I'm so sorry.
I'll be so happy.
Yeah, you're rich.
Is that it?
Thank you so much.
Shout out, Ro.
Shout out, Chad.
Love y'all.
Oh, thank you.
That's not my...
Oh, I think it's...
Yeah, it's on there.
Oh, I see.
I see.
You a jacket?
No.
Not here, right?
No.
No, it's fine.
Yeah.
I'll be so happy.
Yeah, you're rich.
Is that it?
All right.
Thank you so much.
Shout out, Ro.
Shout out, Chad.
Love y'all.
Yeah, um, wait, which one is it right there? That's perfect. I don't know
Oh, then
Yeah
you
You
Okay unmuted
W mute wait really your ears pop what is the problem no I unmuted I was muted
yet my fingers are so numb I didn't know where the where he set the ISO dial
to but I found it so hell yeah I got the brightness yeah yeah you know we have
auditory sensory issues. See they're fucking complaining. They're doing the thing again.
They're doing it again. Because the problem is that when I have had legit audio issues
I just don't believe them. Yeah. And that's the trouble. It's the boy who cried wolf.
Sometimes it's real though. That's what I'm saying. Sometimes it is real. That's
what happens at the end of the world. But this time the wolf shows up. Yeah. This
This time it's like they're complaining that their sensitive ears can't handle the silence.
That's really funny.
The chat who cried sound.
I'm really not built for this, bro.
The fact that my fingers are numb from, you know, not that cold weather, like 20 degrees shouldn't...
I mean, what about... How did Minnesota compare to this?
Oh, dude, that was crazy.
I mean, there's nothing...
Yeah, this one's like...
There's nothing on the planet that was...
There's literally nothing on the planet that I've ever experienced like that.
There's no...
We're next to Omar Fahed, where you're like...
Like, you're wearing...
like you look like the fucking like you're you're going you're like you're in the
shaggleton like you're going to the polls and he's wearing like if anything a
light jacket i was shocked
uh dude that's because that's the craziest thing because like it's not
like um Somalia is known for its like
particularly gruesome winters so i straight up asked the like the first
family that arrived and chose uh miniapolis i was like what the
fuck were you thinking he's like I don't know we just you know we just thought that it was dope it
was a nice and receptive place for us and we just stayed here and then all the other families
that are coming in that's what I'm always fascinated with because like there's like immigrant
enclaves all around the all around the country and it's always
all around the country and I'm always fascinated with like what decisions they made to go to
like Idaho you know what I mean well I can tell you they aren't going to Idaho but I don't
take your point no like I like I don't think that I don't think that Kurt Alene is a particularly
welcoming place for Somalis for Somali people these days what about Tarahot Indiana Tarahot
Indiana. I mean it's the Midwest it's you know like part of why the Midwest if
like these a lot of parts of the deindustrialized are like like you know
awful suburban or semi-urban Midwest it's like yeah if they have any life in
them if they've been revived at all it's because of immigrants. Yeah I mean it's
literally yeah I mean Springfield Ohio right now. That was exactly what I was
referring to. Springfield Ohio is getting like an economic revitalization
a direct consequence of Haitian migration into it and they're like the locals are very resistant.
Um I mean it's because they're uh I mean it's like the
Matt Brunig hearing a lot more about Hassan Piker than ever before.
Of course, he's just a big player in the Democratic Party.
The party ruining has to be.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh.
Something where the President of the U.S.A. taxpayers rather than Bernie Sanders' son
is, can we stop?
That's so funny.
A guy who gets mad about Bernie Sanders' association with me is the funniest guy in the Democratic
party is like what how rudderless are you I mean what's not not my birdie not my
favorite socialist that oh so that's my that's my comfort socialist yeah that's
that's my comfort socialist posing with the nico the democrat nico yeah it is
it is really interesting because like Slokin was saying that
Um, Slotkin was one of the people that was chirping at me and then, and then, she was on Bill Mars last night.
Oh, yeah, I saw that.
Bill Mars, the OG 9-11 guy.
He literally is, uh,
that is absolutely true.
That's pretty funny because he also said a very different, he said a far more extreme thing than you were alleged.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
He said an actual, he said, he made it just a completely different, like he said it was good.
He said it was good well. He didn't say it was good. He just said like like it or hate it you have to they were brave
Yes, they were brave. You know what? You have to respect their courage. Yeah, which is
I'm not saying anything
Yeah, well he I mean cuz you know before before Bill Maher learned what hot to uh, that's what hot to what means
before he became that guy he's like I mean I won't say that he was like you know
like the you know world-savvy a stand-up comic but he wasn't totally untethered
from reality damn third way is pissed off at Matt does Matt does said his son is
in driving a wedge into the party the failed repeatedly discredited yet
unfortunately still entrenched corporate wing of the party is they fear the
lefts grow in power and see his son as a way to make us argue amongst
ourselves we shouldn't fall for it Matt Bennett third way Matt B Maddie B my
Oh boy, that's what the B stands for.
Leaving your bullshit smear aside,
what moderates fear is that
Death Cross will be connected to a bigot
who said America deserved 9-11
and that will help the Magorite win.
I don't know why you don't fear that too.
It's like, you don't care if the Magorite win.
Yeah, I mean at this point also,
it's like, I think you want them to win
if you want to just like,
you have to make up stuff about him being a bigot
and you crawl into bed with A-Pack.
It's like, all right, that's winning.
That's what winning because we all know that the most popular political cause in this country right now is Israel.
Yeah, yeah.
It's actually when you go on this...
When we went to the New Kings Party, everyone was like, we're more like...
Everybody's like, we need more money for Israel.
Yeah.
Actually, that was the whole point of that protest.
Yeah, no.
They were like, please send money to Israel.
There were things anti-Semitic, how little we've sent so far.
It's just like, there are so many angles that I think are hilarious
about the people like Cory Booker saying he won't go on a podcast with me.
No, thank you. But then also like having, you know, photos with you have
gone on and photos with Benjamin and Yahoo. It's like, okay, dude.
I mean, it's like, but he's, he's no longer saying he's saying no to all
PAC money, which also includes a pack as well.
But no, it doesn't though, because a pack isn't a pack. Yeah, that's true.
A-PAC, the PAC and A-PAC, it stands for American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
It's just a non-profit organization.
It's not a PAC by itself.
There are a bunch of different smaller PACs that are essentially like, you know, almost
like venture capital funds, frankly, that are like Nor-PAC.
I forget what the one that they used for this most recent, for the cycle right now.
But you know, like, it's because they obviously, you know, they give them bland names,
American renewal or American freedom or black rights or some shit, I don't know.
But they, like it's all these pledges, it's like the nuisance thing.
It's like it's functionally the same thing as the flip-flop.
It's the incredibly vague promise to not keep doing a thing that you're obviously
going to keep doing.
Because if you didn't keep doing it, then you wouldn't be who you are.
You know why would anybody believe that like, Corey Booker is all of a sudden going to stop being less pro-Israel than he has been?
Yeah.
Oh.
I just don't know why they think they can...
Put the toothpaste back in the tube on this issue and like, a litany of other ones too, but like...
They genuinely have seen like a couple big flips and they're like, oh no, we can do this thing.
Well they, it's because they're rewarding us for our incompetence.
It's like, you know, their logic, right, or their attitude, and you talk to people like
this or people who are on that side of the aisle and their argument is like, this will
pass.
You know, everything passes when obviously the counterargument is, yeah, the thing that
is currently passing is pro-Israel sentiment.
That's what's passing.
That's the thing that is not lasting, and that is coming to the end of the, you
know, historically exceptional period in which the American public could be persuaded
to just like un endlessly, you know, like support Israel
with money or political power, whatever.
Yeah.
No Kings, they yelled listening to Bernie Sanders
who's been in Congress longer than the reign
of Henry the Eighth.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Wait, sorry, what?
Hold on, that was the-
It's just like the dumbest guy alive,
and of course, predictably 18,000 lives.
I just like, it's like,
Does he think that Bernie has the powers of Henry VIII?
Yeah.
Like that being a senator from Vermont
is the same thing as being a king.
An independent senator too.
Yeah, an independent senator.
This has been a discourse nuclear bomb though,
which is very interesting.
But yeah, here's some numbers that Jules Nader pulled.
Here's everything Democratic voters
agree with us on the hunt over the den party 95% support raising tax on billionaires 85% support Medicare for all 70% 78% support abolishing ice 77% oppose us using military force a tag around 67% believe Israel committed genocide
okay
it's uh
you know
It's ridiculous.
This is elementary, my dear Colin.
I was going to go with inspector gadget, but I do think that's even better.
Actually, I was also thinking that the reason that you are wearing that coat is that you couldn't afford a real winter coat because you spent all the money on that shirt
Yeah, well, yeah, that was supposed to that was all the aid funds that I just
Put in my glad yeah, you're just too embarrassed to admit that all the aid money went to the song glasses
Oh my god, one of the dudes I think literally that came up to us went on the MS now
I think you might have been literally one of the dudes.
Damn bro, good for you. Good for you.
I love the way this sound goes down.
I'm pretty sure we took photos of that guy.
Oh my God.
This park is going to look so nice when it's done.
Dude, that's what I've been saying for years.
I'm so excited.
Build the park, Zoran.
I mean, my like crackpot dream is I just want them to bury the FDR.
Like, I think if the East River of Manhattan could just be,
if you just got rid of this fucking highway,
and like it would be perfect.
it would be like the most beautiful river walk in the entire western
hemisphere and instead right now it's like a highway that 90% of the time is
like fucking bumper to bumper that's it right there yeah so we're on come up with
a way to fix that please I'm tired of it I want to be able to walk to these
river in the morning and not here like the dum-dum-dum-dum-dum every second
yeah we're um we're gonna need a lot more congestion pricing for that I think
I think to alleviate the the traffic
I feel like we could just you know
You just like put it on a credit card
You know
Well, that's like my other idea big Manhattan
Bigger. Yeah, basically my think my thinking is like Manhattan is perfect
It's like, it's like the ideal city, right?
Like vertical, like accessible master ends in subway,
like hyper dense, we love it.
So we should make more of it.
And the way we should make more of it is by just like.
Pave the river?
Yeah, you know, like that.
Inflammation, yeah.
I'm sure that there would be no ecological drawback.
I, you know, without looking into it,
without knowing anything off the jump,
I'm sure it would be totally harmless.
Yeah, connect Brooklyn and the boroughs
by paving the river and make it walkable.
Just meet, yeah.
Singapore uses trash to reclaim land.
They use waste and they build using that.
That's incredible.
There are leaders in that.
I mean, you know, listen, I'm just saying,
we love Manhattan.
We make a lot of trash too.
We need to, we need to, you know,
everybody, all these EMBs, they love talking,
but oh, we gotta expand the supply, okay?
Make big Manhattan and only let the people I like
live there.
We talking the tip of Manhattan?
I think down, I think yeah, I think the south,
I think like expand Fida, or me below Fida.
Oh!
That's my thought.
That's my big idea.
Oh, okay, I like it.
Again, I'm sure there would be no consequences,
but you know, a boy can dream.
I like that.
That's my abundance.
So, what's our final thought on No King's protest?
I think it's good that people are out there again.
There are a lot of issues that need to be addressed.
I'm glad we got the opinion of that older lady
who was like, I'm not happy with the Democrats
because that's usually what I hear
from anyone that's out protesting.
And most of those protesters were older.
They are the college educated,
relatively well-off
wealthy liberal types white and
They're the ones who are also expressing their discontent with democratic ineptitude
And I don't think that the party wants to see or hear that at all
You know now and I would also say that like
You know, I think there is in general and I won't just say this about no kings
I think like even groups further the left have to answer for this like
You know, I've been... my entire adult life, I've been marching down streets that are closed off in huge crowds
and nobody gets arrested and it's not like an agitation.
It's an expression, it's a demonstration of how many people care about a thing.
And it's meaningful. Like, it's meaningful in that that's what it communicates.
It is not meaningful in the sense that, like, walking down the street by itself with the, you know, thousands and thousands of your best pals
will itself change anything.
And so I think that like it's it's unfair to hold something like no kings that standard when it's not even the standard to which we hold
You know for example like pro-Palestine solidarity demonstrations and watches. I do also think that there is a
Definitely someone of a negative pressure on like stamping out all of the organic
mass mobilization that took place under Biden like when you arrest
There's 3,500 college students as the Democratic president, as you're continuing with the genocide.
That's going to inevitably cause people to think, okay, well, what are we supposed to
do?
An abject refusal of their demands in an election cycle, too.
You're creating voter apathy.
You're creating voter apathy.
teaching people that their voices don't matter, that like everything they learned
about doing, engaging in their civic duty, participating in protests, exercising
their first amendment rights, like all of that is actually totally inconsequential
and we will marginalize you even if you have the numbers. We will avoid you, we
will make it seem like your movement is irrelevant. And I think that's a little bit discouraging
for sure. And I think that's part of the reason why people are just like, what are we supposed
to do? Aside from the fact that in the absence of a draft there is no immediate fear that
this will impact them. Also, I think one of the things that also kind of, you know,
is like what historians refer to as contingency, the necessity of events for something to happen
that other things have to happen first and that those are often things that happen first
that you don't anticipate, that you can't anticipate, and so so much of what I feel
like political work in this moment often feels like, you know, not incorrectly, that guy's
gas cap is open.
Yeah, okay, I just touched the spot. Yeah
Lost my train of thought just got yeah prior to the gas it just totally threw me. I was like that is a weird thing to have a
We're at anti-war
What's chat? Where does chat say we were?
Um, just want to make sure it's okay if other people are in the space, just like regular.
Yeah, we don't have to be booked out.
A lot of people are going to swarm to it eventually, so just let them out.
Just keep it short, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know?
Yep.
One question I did have after-
Contingency.
Oh, contingency, right.
Conting- it's just that all these events I've happened for another, all out of work right now feels pretty figurative.
Meaning that like everybody's acting the way that they want to be able to act at the point in which it should be
You know like when their politics can be something that they can do not that it will like be the work that leads to that thing
It's it's like
Look the part be the part kind of
And I don't think that that's necessarily like the worst thing right now because look like the economy is wobbly
This war is going on. We don't know. I mean part of what's so weird about this time is we don't know where it leads
And so I think so much of the most of what you can ask of people, aside from just telling
the truth, is about this kind of like modeling the kind of people and the kind of political
movement you want to be in and be a part of, particularly for these moments, these moments
of time, when time is thickened is how it feels.
And possibilities emerge and more people get drawn in.
I remember 2020 certainly felt like that for a moment
Yeah
Have you been to this one before no for this okay, yeah, or maybe I don't know I have no idea
My hands are only just now really warming up
There's more of this place across the street probably yeah there's it's better this is like
like this is where these were mostly got one month bomb bomb means i've gotten
were you with us when we got the bomb you were walking around i don't know i mean there's like
three places around here that I would that that could be there's a lot. Yeah, no this is my bed.
Yeah here? All right.
Yeah okay.
Okay.
I think we're okay, yeah.
Yeah, my legs are.
Okay.
Flash, can you keep it low?
Yeah, sorry about that.
Inside to outside.
Yeah
I'm just coming back.
All right, I'll grab. What do you want?
What's that? Cobra or what?
No, no, we want coffee spot.
Black?
Black or...
Black or swan?
Water.
Perky. Yeah.
All right.
We'll talk to Abbie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hi.
Hi.
Where can we use plants?
I think you're right here.
Yeah.
Here.
I'm just going to pass by.
I can't believe you.
Oh.
I like the space too.
Oh?
Yeah.
So.
Please.
OK.
All right.
Oh, I love that.
I mean, my friend is getting some water.

yeah yeah dude put that in writing please he did he put it in the chat no I'm just
saying like that's uh that is if you're really serious about that stuff then writing
about it in twitch is how you know I think it's better to choose like angle it

And um oh you got she got you a lens cloth
This is where you get that skater cat wants no, but I have been in the store before I've shopped in this I
Looked for things in the store before
Okay, they're almost here
Here, let's do a close-up where I do the intro.
The chair back there.
Here, yeah, I'm just going to do an intro really quick for the stream as well and we'll put this in the video as well.
Today we're going to be meeting with Effie Phillips Stanley. She's candidate for New York 17.
It's a D plus one district and that is, wait, I'm going to do that again.
Today we're meeting F.E. Phillips Stanley, candidate for New York 17.
It's a D plus one district, but it's currently occupied by a right wing shithead by the name
of Mike Lawler.
He was a Republican, A.P.A.c.e.
Stooge, pretty much an overall villain.
F.E. Phillips daily is, F.E. Phillips daily is a progressive Democrat running for Congress
in New York 17th District, a critical battleground seat that could help flip the house.
Effie is a Terry Town Village trustee.
I'm going to ask her about what that means.
She spent her career fighting for education, immigrant justice,
affordable housing, and working families across the Hudson Valley.
She's running against a number of centrist Democrats for a seat
that is currently held by Mike Lawler.
She's champion of human rights, which led her on a recent fact
finding trip to the West Bank.
Now she is phasing an uphill battle against big money from corporations, corporate packs, and of course APEC
to win one of the most hotly contested seats in the country.
It's a good intro. It is a nice intro. Yeah. But yeah, she just, she went to the West Bank,
so I want to ask her about her trip, her journey. I just, you know, it's interesting that we
We have like a lot more candidates that do stuff like that now.
And then people still refuse to recognize that some things have changed in pretty spectacular
fashion.
I mean, this is like the third rail.
Hi.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
I think we swapped the seats.
I think we swapped the seats.
I'll sit on the uncomfortable chair down.
We'll put you in the comfortable one and then no, can you give your...
Yep.

meet you

There's somewhere on the side.
Everybody say bye Noah.
Thank you.
Thanks.
All right, peace Brody.
All right, thank you, thanks.
Let's do it right here, right?
We can, this is not uncomfortable, right?
What does the framing look like?
Does the frame look good?
Yeah.
Cause I don't.
I'm gonna put this down here.
Oh, that would be cool.
Thanks.
I'll take this off too, okay.
Good?
I'm great.
All right, hi.
Hi.
Thank you for coming on.
Thanks for having me.
Question on everybody's minds.
Where is Tarrytown and what does it mean
to be a trustee of Tarrytown?
God, everybody's minds.
So Terry Town is just north of New York City.
It's about, on an express train, it's like 35 minutes.
But it's a village, that's like the smallest municipality
in New York, you know, village, town, city goes up.
And yeah.
So it was a village, not even a town.
So yeah.
So the name is a lie.
The name, I never thought of that.
And you were right, it is Terry Village.
It's the village of Terry Town.
As a trustee, why have you not changed it to Terry Village?
You know, I'm going to get on that.
I'm going to take it to the next working session,
and we're going to see what happens.
But yeah, so it's essentially like being on the city council.
So yeah, there are seven of us, including a mayor.
That's cool.
So you're running for New York 17.
That's right.
It's a D plus 1 district.
Unfortunately, it's currently occupied
by one of the most annoying villains in New York politics.
Villain is the word.
Mike Lawler.
That's right.
You're running up against a bunch of centrist Democrats.
But before we talk about the primary,
why are you running against Mike Lawler?
He seems like such a nice guy.
Well, it's running against Mike Lawler,
but it's also sort of running against the establishment.
I mean, we know Mike Lawler has to go.
We know he's a liar.
We know he only cares about his own power
and he doesn't care about being a public servant.
So the guy has to go.
But I decided to run.
Well, first I was asked to run.
I was asked to run by local Hispanic activists
after Trump won the second time, because we knew how bad it
was the first time.
And because there was a local elected,
we were talking about what we could do to protect people,
to make things better.
And they said you should run for Congress.
And I thought, OK, that wasn't the first thing that
came to mind in this moment.
But the challenge with the Democratic Party
is that they do a really terrible job of taking care
of the people that should be in their base.
And I say that because Hispanics make up,
and I speak about Hispanics because my mom is an immigrant
from El Salvador, right?
This is something that's been important to me
obviously for a long time.
But they make up 25% of the village that I live in,
something like 25 to 30% of the district.
And yet the Democratic Party never does canvassing,
never reaches out, doesn't pay attention to communities
and it's because there's a perception
that these communities don't vote.
So when I was asked to run,
that was one of the first things that I thought about.
I thought, you know, are these other candidates
and is the Democratic Party gonna do the work
of going into communities, earning trust
and developing policies that need to happen
and turning up the vote.
And the answer is no, because they're too busy
trying to figure out how to convert moderate Republicans.
Yeah.
And to me, that is a structural barrier.
It's a massive problem.
And that's why I decided to run.
And going back to Mike Lawler,
of all of the candidates in this race right now,
he's the only one who gets it.
He's like the only one who turns up
Hispanic communities and tries to sway them over despite failing on the policy
level for pretty much any working people at all. So that's that's what got me in
there. Yeah, do you feel like Michael O'Oll is a lot like JD Vance or is that
just me? Because I feel like he has a, like there's a thing with the way
these guys look where they look like they have a guy liner on guy liner and I
don't know do you do you agree with that do I try not to look at Mike Lawler I
agree when that's probably why he can't turn out the Hispanic vote is they're
like oh get away I'm no longer I'm now demonstrating voter apathy they say when
he shows up at their doorstep when he shows up at their doorstep he calls
himself Miguelito. He tries to be relatable. Wait, is he Hispanic too? No. Oh okay. I didn't know.
I mean, you know, I mean, it would be something that's true. You never know. One never knows
by how a person looks. But, um, but you know, I mean, I don't know. Do I think he has guy
liner? No, I've seen him up close. No, I don't think JD Banks does either. They just have
that shadowy, the natural eye shadow that comes from being an evil Republican.
So I try to imagine them without their beards, actually.
Not too much, because I don't want to think about them that much.
But I think they would probably look.
Well, JD used to rock the no beard look.
He rocks it now.
So I was going to ask you about your background
and how it actually factors into some of your policies.
Specifically on the immigration agenda,
obviously the Trump administration
has really accelerated their white nativist anti-immigrant
agenda.
They are blackbagging our neighbors, basically.
This is an unaccountable force.
What do you, how do you feel about that
as someone from this background, someone in a community,
just someone that represents community
with a lot of immigrants in it,
and what are your policy suggestions?
Got it.
I mean, the direction of this nation
and the one that you just described
that Trump is taking that Mike Lawler is,
is, you know, carrying his water for,
To me, it's the most anti-American platforming imaginable.
Because I exist as a person whose mother is an immigrant
from El Salvador.
My dad was a working class, high school educated guy
from Oklahoma.
Only in a nation that is pluralist do we all
get to exist in this way.
Where else would I be in the world except for here?
And to try to frame our nation as something that is anything
other than that, that is anything other than a nation
of immigrants who came here for better, worse,
and good ways and bad ways, that is the defining condition
and anything of the supremacy nonsense is just a lie
and it always, I mean it exists as a power structure
but it's always been wrong, right?
So I mean.
The attitude was different too, like not that long ago
when you think about, I mean, Ronald Reagan is the devil,
but when it came to offering amnesty
to a lot of immigrants, and also on top of that,
the way he communicated about what it means to be American,
like you can be from anywhere around the world,
this is the only country where you get here,
you live here, you work here,
you can say you're an American.
It's unlike any other country,
and it was like a part of the exceptional nature,
I guess, of America in some ways.
One of the defining characteristics is the thing
that I think is very redeemable about America.
And yet, there's this betrayal of the social contract.
So what are the policies that you
would advance as far as alleviating this pressure
from migrant communities?
There are so many.
To me, the most critical one is we
describe as abolishing ICE, which is what that is.
But it's really taking a look at the way ICE came into being
and the Department of Homeland Security came into being in 2003
in response to the war on terror, where
you took what used to be immigration and naturalization,
which is what my mom came through in this country.
And then they conflated it with customs enforcement.
And when you put these two together,
you can get comments from another candidate who
won't say abolish ICE and talks about the importance of drug enforcement at the border.
Yes, drug enforcement at the border is important, but that has nothing to do with my mom coming
to this country.
Yeah.
Right?
And so to have it structured like that is what sets us up for this kind of tyranny.
And that's what we have to do.
So much of what we have to do when we take back Congress and we take control of the
U.S. government is to sort of look at the infrastructure that we have and figure out
how to make sure that it is set up to be equitable.
Like when Trump took away,
it only allows English on government websites.
So, safer housing.
It used to be in 40 languages.
Now it's just English.
That cannot be.
People in this nation have to have access
to this information.
They're entitled to it.
It's a denial.
So, these are the kinds of things
that we have to look at structurally,
one by one just to make sure, and I think for me as a candidate, or as a human being,
we have to put people first, you know, like, we have to look at laws and policy critically
and say, is this enabling people to live their best lives? And if it's not, then there's
something wrong with that and that's what we have to fix.
Absolutely.
So El Salvador is currently run by a Palestinian.
Unfortunately, he's not some of the best
that Palestinians have to offer.
But he's pro-Israel, and he's most famous
for building the world's largest concentration camp.
And it's now housing undocumented immigrants
from the United States of America.
a horrible, horrifying process. As a Salvadoran, how does it feel having your country be viewed
by America as a distant place tied to policies that punish the most vulnerable among us?
I think it is, it's tough. I mean, I just took my mom back to El Salvador for the first
time in ten years, a year ago. And we were able to go and I took my family, to be honest
because the country is so violent I never thought that I would be able to take my kids
in.
But we did.
And it was safe, but it was safe in a way that you would never want a country to be safe
because it's totally, it's like a police state.
And that they suspended, like, although I will say I heard from many people in Salvadorans
are the kindest people.
And it is the most lovely country.
But people said that, you know, the Mara, the time of the gangs, was worse than the Civil
War.
So they kind of accept the conditions that they're in because of the level of violence
there.
But it is, and to be plain that El Salvador has always dealt with dictators, but to have
the safeguards to prevent dictatorship removed so Bukele can continue, to have
this to suspend due process. In the place where due process is already kind of tenuous, but
to suspend it and then have CCOT, the prison, I mean this is not, this is what really gets
me. Like this is not the model for how any country should be and it certainly isn't the
model for how the United States should be or what the United States should be involved
with, but to have Republicans go to CCOT, tour it, and act like this is some wonderful
thing, maybe we should try it, and then set up this kind of awful deportation into this
horrendous prison.
This is disintegrating our democracy.
A civil war should not be the model for our democracy.
It's got to be the other way around.
Our prison conditions aren't so great either, to be fair.
This is true.
That's why there is...
Well, I think El Salvador is one of the only places where you could actually, and lawyers
have done this, successfully deny prisoner transfer to on the conditions that it is so
inhumane that judges will actually literally straight up deny a migrant that has actually
been convicted of a crime to go and be sent to CCOT.
And yet, we're sending people who have done no crimes to see God right now, just simply
under the suspicion that they might be illegal with ridiculous conditions like the tattoos
that they have, things that don't actually normally would fit that profile at all.
But one of the other questions I had for you is that you recently went to the West
Bank.
That's right.
And it was a couple months ago, you went to the city of Hebron, and you met with
of Palestinian farmers to learn more about Israel's occupation of the land, you described
the genocide of Palestinians as the Vietnam of the younger generation.
What did you witness firsthand and how do you think that translates to implementing policies
back here at home?
So what I witnessed is what many of us have read about, have heard about, have seen
in the news.
What I witnessed was speaking to people first hand
about the direct impact and seeing the direct impact.
And I have to say, it is appalling
that our tax dollars go to support this kind of,
it's a terror, like these people are living in terror.
We visited a family in a town called Susia
and it had a settlement pop up on one side
and they found an archeological site on the other
and this is the justification that they use to sort of squeeze
out the people off the land that they've been on forever.
And I'll say this, like, when we were sitting in his home,
he was so kind, you know, his whole family was there.
You know, every age, like a beautiful family.
And he had all these awards and things on the wall.
Like, one of them was like, graduate students from Harvard
visited at this time.
And so you see evidence of people from around the world
going to bear witness, and yet nothing changes.
And at that time, his fields had just
been sprayed with poison from a drone that
was sent over from the settlement.
As we were leaving, the settler, who was the main agent
of the terror that he was experiencing,
was just on a horse and the perimeter, just watching.
And then after we left, I mean, I think we got back,
maybe, we got back on the 10th of February.
Since then four homes have been burnt down
and one person has been shot in that settlement.
And so what he said to us was essentially
that the only thing that could stop this
is pressure from the United States.
And it felt so terrible to look at him
and think of how much time it's going to take to turn the gear
so that the United States can do the moral thing
and actually apply that pressure.
And is he going to be alive?
This is the most shameful thing about it,
that too many people are playing politics,
like trying to think, how do I walk the line
so that they don't upset anybody about saying one thing
or another?
No, it's an apartheid state.
It's a state that allows these conditions, right?
And if we believe in universal human rights,
then we have to do something.
We have to actually develop the policies to change this.
And I believe we can't have universal human rights
anywhere unless they're everywhere, right?
And so this is the guiding principle, I suppose,
of why I'm running, because I see it's what I've always done.
I've always worked in the nonprofit sector.
I've always worked around social justice.
And if we don't use our nation, and it's immense power for things that enable people to live their best lives,
then what are we doing?
This is, I guess, my position.
And yet when you came back and you were also pelted by settlers from my understanding that they threw eggs at you and your
guide while you were there and you came back and
the response from some of the Democrats who had initially supported you for ballot access was
Was that they withdrew their support was that shocking?
It was or expected. Well, that's a great question because that actually happened while we were still like what I just described to you and
in Sushia, we got back to our hotel in East Jerusalem
and then I got a panicked call from a person
who was in that meeting saying,
you're losing all your support.
And I'm like, I am, and so they told me who and when.
And I called that person and I said,
what are you doing?
He said, you've known me forever.
And you know me to be a reasonable person.
And so what is this?
And he had been on the APEC tours
And he said that what I was doing was undermining Israel's ability
to create coexistence.
Coexistence, as I know.
A coexistence, as he saw within schools in Jerusalem
that have Israelis, Arabs, and Israeli Jews in school
together, I think maybe there are four of those schools.
But what I said to him, and it was because the word
apartheid was used in one of my posts. It's not by me, actually, but by another person
and I agreed with it. That's what did it. That's what made the room change. And I said
to him, I'm like, look, I mean, this is what I saw. Like I saw it with my eyes. And you
know, and I said, if you were here, if you actually went to the West Bank, you
would see it too, because it's undeniable. It's undeniable. So I don't know if
if it's willful ignorance, or it could be many things.
But I would like to think that if more Americans really
understood the conditions and saw them in this way,
and if more elected officials.
I went on a tour that was called Extend.
And Extend was created 15 years ago
as an extension to birthright tours.
It was created by Israeli peace activists
to show the other side, other side of it.
And we were led by Israeli peace activists
that were former IDF.
They're the ones who took us.
Breaking the silence?
Breaking the silence.
Yeah, it was with Yehuda Shul from Breaking the Silence.
That we were walking together, and that's
when the eggs came flying at us.
From settlers who had an IDF soldier standing next to them
as they were helping us with eggs.
Anyway, so yeah, I'd like to think at least,
and I believe that we're seeing it in the polls,
that if people understand the level of
the human rights violations that they would
not want our country to be funding this.
I think people are there already.
I mean, 67% of Democrats already agree
that Israel is committing a genocide.
It's almost become a 90-10 issue
as far as like conditioning all aid to Israel
or even denying aid to Israel until they stop.
And yet there are a lot of party officials
with even presidential aspirations
that refuse to communicate on this matter clearly.
There are some people that very clearly
want to run for president
that also have used that word apartheid,
which is the truth, right?
And it's something that virtually
every human rights organization recognized in 2021,
as a matter of fact, not even recently,
and then they had to back away from that position
and said, oh, well, I think it's getting there potentially.
It was a very cowardly attitude, in my opinion.
However, this is definitely the majority position.
You have talked about, and you also mentioned it
in this interview as well, you said it with Prem Talker too,
you said, human rights don't matter anywhere
if they don't matter how this is right.
Do you agree that this is a decent litmus test
for Democrats in general?
Yeah, 100%.
And I don't, and it's not just me.
I mean, I came to this.
When I first started running,
the advice that I got from the establishment
was never to talk about this issue.
It was the first thing.
And I was like, okay, never talk about this issue
or we can't take back the house.
This is the framing.
And then you start talking to people,
you start talking to constituents,
and they're like, I don't wanna talk to you
unless you tell me what you think of this.
Every single time that these are the two,
there are three issues that come up the most.
Well, I'll say two.
This issue is one of them, and people want to know.
Do the candidates have the courage
to call what they see what it is,
which is apartheid and genocide?
And so, I mean, this was a big part of the reason
why we decided we needed to go.
At least for me, and we led a delegation
that included people from like local Jewish
democratic organization, a person from J Street,
an Episcopal priest.
Because people have very different opinions
about the issue because we wanted to see it together.
And this was the consensus.
The consensus is that it is,
well, I'll say this,
There's disagreement on the word genocide.
That's a tough one for some people.
They have to work that out, I guess.
But the apartheid, I mean,
we went to Ofer military prison.
Human rights lawyers took us into the courts.
Like imagine a Jim Crow setting of like blacks, whites.
That's what it is.
It's Palestinians, everybody else.
different doors, different conditions.
And I mean, the fact that there are different,
there's the military system for Palestinians
and then there's like a civil, a civilian system
in terms of the courts.
You know, for Israelis, I mean, it's like.
Two roads, different license plates, checkpoints.
Two roads, two roads.
And it's, no.
no continuous state for the Palestinians,
even though it's legally their land,
and Israel is illegally occupying it,
and all of the system is enforced by a military
that we actually fund.
It's unbearable.
I wanna get back to your district,
and this might be somewhat of a tough question,
but around 12% of your district is Jewish.
And when you got back from your trip,
how did you communicate?
Is this, because one of the things that people
immediately in my opinion falsely associate
uh... american jews with is like unconditional support of the state of
israel
and do you feel like that's reflective in your constituency at all or do you feel
like it's more mixed
it's entirely mixed
the majority of people who brought this to my attention
i mean
maybe not the majority but certainly a strong number have been jews
i get
the most encouragement
from
from lots of people, but a lot of encouragement from Jews
who really challenged me, especially in the beginning,
to be brave and to just say it like it is,
say it like you see it.
And yeah, so there are some communities
that certainly don't like the positions that we take,
that take issue with me calling out APEC, even Democrats.
Democrats. It's not great, but there are just as many or more who say, no, we know this is
wrong, keep going, keep going. So, yeah.
Here's one angle that I always find interesting. So, Mike Lawler, the Republican that hopefully
you'll be facing off, and the general is funded by APAC, and the mainstream Democratic
Party candidate who's leading in the early polls is Kate Conley. And she was endorsed
by the Democratic majority for Israel, which is an apex subsidiary pretty much.
What does the race look like from your perspective at the moment, and what would you say to
the argument that advancing someone who is so close on this issue to Mike Lawler would
be a genuine mistake when this is something that the overwhelming majorities of the
Democratic Party's base are demanding a separation from?
I thought it was a mistake from the minute she entered.
I thought it was a mistake from the minute she prioritized,
or, and I won't say it's just her,
it's the DCCC, it's the Democratic establishment,
that they read this district as a purple district.
They prioritize moderate Republicans,
they prioritize independents that they think are,
there are a lot of people who were Democrats
who are now independents because they've been
frustrated with how far to the right the party has gone.
So yeah, I mean that there's very little light
between Kate and Mike Lawler in terms
of a lot of their policies, especially in terms of this.
And again, I think the Democratic Party
is completely oblivious to how much people care about this
and how damaging it is to keep going in this route.
I mean, there's a reason that we lost Mike Lawler
twice.
in a district that is predominantly democratic.
Yeah.
And this is a failure that is currently being litigated
in this intra-party arguments that we're having,
but this was a failure in 2024 as well.
And not just on this issue as well.
I see Palestine as a good litmus test,
but it's also a great way to figure out
whether or not a candidate is responsive to the base
or rather have their own mind,
have made up their own minds about constantly trying
to find the mythical moderate center.
And that was an abject failure in 2024
against an incompetent fascist like Donald Trump,
just as it was a failure in 2020 against Donald Trump as well.
Or not 2020, sorry, 2016 against Donald Trump as well.
So on that note, I like to call this the Zara method.
five key policies that you would be associated with,
what would those five talk on policy?
Sure, I mean I have what we call
the suburban progress agenda
and it focuses on housing afford,
frankly it focuses on all the things we could pay for
if we weren't dropping 1.8 billion a day
in a war in Iran.
But housing affordability is a critical one.
Medicare for all, we have to start treating
housing and health care as a human right.
I mean, it's outrageous.
I mean, I lived in the UK for four years.
I know what it's like to be in a system
where your health care is taken care.
It's great, you know.
And everyone should have that stress
taken off of their lives
so that people can live their best lives.
Universal child care,
we hear from families all the time
that they're paying upwards of $24,000 a year
for child care so that they could work
or they stop working.
If New Mexico could pull it off,
As a state, we can certainly make it possible
so that states across the nation can pull it off.
Immigration reform, it has to happen.
We cannot allow people to be weaponized in this way
for, I mean, for the political gain of a fascist party.
We just, it just has to stop.
And then what I call justice at home and justice abroad,
prioritizing human rights here,
whether it is carceral reform, it is all these things.
I mean, we completely have to dismantle the insanity
of the private detention centers and the private prisons
that have been built because when you think about
all of those private detention centers
that are being built, once immigration is under control,
what's gonna happen to them?
You know?
They have to be used.
Some of them, the private ones,
literally have contracts where they have all these beds
that need to be filled.
It's an insane system.
It is terrifying.
And it's got to stop.
We have to advance human rights here.
And then we have to make sure that our tax dollars do not
go to pay for human rights abuses abroad.
Nobody wants that.
Nobody wants that.
We have so much that we can do here.
So much that we can.
And then I'll say this.
These guys are so quick.
This administration is so quick to go to war.
We have such power as a nation.
Economic power, diplomatic power, political power.
Why on earth are we racing to this kind of violence,
always to violence?
And it's as if violence didn't perpetuate itself.
So yeah, these are the things.
This is, I think, the vision that we're trying to take
and I know everyone's ready for it,
enough of this constant creation of trauma.
Okay, all this sounds great,
but have you thought about blaming transgender immigrants
for all of the problems that your district is facing
and how you are gonna be the strongest advocate
against migration into the country?
No, that hasn't really.
What about maintaining the most lethal military
that's ever existed?
Yeah, that's not super kind of a list.
Okay, more money to Israel instead of rebuilding our schools so that we can bomb schools over there.
That seems to be very popular right now, but that is not something I would advance.
All right, so I'm going to do the last thing here, and I'm going to ask you some rapid fire yes or no questions.
Okay.
Okay, do you believe in Medicare for all?
Yes.
Universal child care?
Yep.
Abolishing ICE?
Uh-huh.
Vaning members of Congress from trading stocks.
100%.
$25 minimum wage.
Oh, yes.
Implementing the Green New Deal.
Yes.
Canceling student loan debt.
Yeah.
Imagine all that money back in the economy.
Raising taxes on billionaires.
Oh, yes.
Ending the war in Iran.
100%.
Ending American aid to Israel.
Yes.
Okay.
Well, that's pretty good.
I mean, I'm sold.
That's great.
The last question I have for you is, at the moment, we're waging a war in Iran.
Iran of work choice, where bombing villages in Ecuador,
were blowing up fishing boats off the coastline of Venezuela
and the Caribbean all around, and were holding the head
of a sovereign nation in solitary confinement in New York.
Looking beyond the campaign, what's
your message to people struggling
to pay their bills while watching their government
belligerently attack the rest of the world?
Look, I mean, if we prioritize people
and their ability to live their best lives.
And the government that actually works to make that happen,
that's what we're trying to bring
because so that we don't see all of this.
We should not be living hand to mouth,
unable to pay rents that are skyrocketing
because we don't have enough housing.
And at the same time, seeing the tax dollars
that we pay into this system
go to do all this other stuff that is appalling,
that is immoral, that cost an immense amount of money
that some people get rich off of, but certainly not
the average person in this country.
This is what we have to stop.
If we prioritize people in their lives
and then use our tax dollars to ensure
that we could all live our best lives,
just imagine what our country could be,
what it would be capable of, you know?
So it's really sad that it has come to this,
this, but I believe that most of us are angry enough to go to the ballots and change this.
But there is actually one more thing that I want to say that it's not just about the ballot
because our political system is so entrenched in terms of funneling money to the candidates
that they believe are going to keep the system as it is.
And that's why you see my competitors fully funded, and then people like me who are here
to challenge the system have to rely on grassroots networks to get funding because we don't take
corporate money, they do.
We're not taking APAC money, they're taking it.
They have the bundlers from the DCCC going across the nation, funneling the money
And then they judge a candidate's viability based on their money, not on their platform,
which is why, like I'm so grateful that you're here and you're talking about this to bring
attention to these corrupt systems because, you know, we have to beat them despite the
kind of financial advantages that they have because when Americans, when everyone just
pitches in 20 or $25, $10, the people can actually beat these systems. A good
example is of course Mamdani, because if you compare him to Cuomo, they may have
raised the same amount of money, but Mamdani had all the all the people, right?
And Cuomo had like this. Cuomo had like no people. So empowering people to
support campaigns and to get out and vote is the way we're going to take
it all back.
So how can people help out?
How can people follow your work and get involved with your campaign if they share your vision?
Well if you see a link in the stream, give.
Share that with everyone you know.
If you like what you heard, just give.
Is there a website?
Yep, and the website is FE4Congress, like E-F-F-I-E, 4-F-O-R-Congress.com or just
Google me, FE4Philip Staley.
And yeah, and you know, and I'll say this, power cares about two things, they care about
money and votes.
That's why you see all this special interest getting all the attention.
When the people start putting their power behind candidates, that's when they're going
to start paying attention.
That's how we're going to get them to care about Palestine.
That is the way to do it.
And your platform as well, which I'm thankful for.
I try my best, but thank you so much.
Thank you.
because we have to head out to we have this like the virtual peace rally that's
why I'm like hurrying this up right now I'm actually heading to that too
yeah all right perfect great all right thank you okay all right yeah let's do it
Okay, here we go.
I need to be taller, man.
All right, perfect.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you.
I'll give you a hug.
All right.
And I'll take that as a magnet behind it.
There it is.
Thank you so much.
This was great.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's do it.
Want to take picture?
Yeah.
Of course.
I mean, I'll just say what you also appreciate about it.
Nice to meet you.
Of course.
Nice to meet you.
It's amazing to be here.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thank you.
What's up, man?
Thank you for allowing us to use your space.
This was great.
Of course.
Honestly like literally anytime
We'll do absolutely. Um, yeah, you can switch it
Yeah
It was... it was... devastating.
Yeah.
It's really interesting to see, like, so much potential.
Yeah.
And people just, like, struggling, but struggling due to, like, our actions, and people are
just so oblivious to all of it, you know?
Yeah.
I think, like, the more I, like, read about them being like, oh, we have to choose where
our guests are tonight because we need to make sure that hospitals are getting
some fucking die.
Yeah, and it's so sinister because like the way that the American design on that all is
It's it's supposed to be like invisible right? Yeah, so people don't even know
People don't even know that it's happening and it's like invisible right and and it sounds so
It's such an insane system that like people were literally criticizing me and when I came back they were like
Oh, you stayed in a five-star hotel. He's like a real five-star hotel, but it doesn't matter but also that's the only place
You can't say yeah, we fucking make sure that like you spend more money with those like isn't that crazy though
Yeah, they've designed in such a psychotic way where like when you say the truth out loud people go
That's not real. Yeah, and then they get mad at you. Yeah, it's like fast
Did you ever watch the I could actually like it's so crazy that stumbling on these like randomly don't get your jacket
But yeah, did you watch like Sotterberg's like J?
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's it's just one of those things where it's like watching this
It was like kind of nuts because I'm like holy shit
It's like really insane to one see like a mainstream American director making movie about this
Yeah, also to like all this shit that like we don't know about like you know what I mean
It's like yeah, just like casually kind of like oh yeah, like don't worry like we just did X Y
Well, it's great. We don't know about it. Yeah, it's what's what's wild is
You know this is a did you come what yeah?
Yeah, I have already it's like almost here. Sorry. Do you want to intro the store as well? Sure? Yeah, or whatever
Let me know. Oh, yeah, yeah, what's up, man? I'm obby. This is this is our sort of hair
This is our flagship space here in the Lower East side and
Super super thrilled and
Gassed to host this guy here today. I'm through to find some amazing contemporary menswear
What's your favorite piece in the the shop?
right now it is probably
I would probably be, that's such a hard one in terms of my favorite kids, but I've been
around wearing a lot of these rubbies, I really love these to death, otherwise we got some
new kits that we designed to make them into some Braulio motto, but you know.
Oh Braulio, that's his book over there, right?
Yeah, we carried his book, but it was really hard so we brought it over there, yeah.
He's a homie, I used to work with him.
Okay, great.
Oh
Yeah, there's something happening down the street right I don't know
There was some kid screaming earlier I heard
All right, that's cool. I got everything are you good?
Yeah, come by whenever
Yeah, that's right unrelated your television
Yeah, okay
It's just me, okay
you
Okay, we're back all right. What'd you think? Um, that was pretty good. She was actually
much she was very impressive and, uh, she has like, uh, she has, um, she's great.
I think she's like genuine and a great candidate. It's just she has what I call a politician voice a little bit
You know what I mean?
but um
But you know she was she was pretty cool
Isn't Harry down a place in Zelda?
Pretty sure it's a place in Zelda. I didn't know that but that doesn't I mean that that sounds like it'd be a place in the
Yeah
She's very soft-spoken, yeah.
She had the politician hands and stature as well, yeah.
She's a New Yorker, everyone has politician voice.
They're saying Terry Town is very, very affluent.
That's all fake Zelda fan.
Okay, everybody calm down.
New emote.
Oh, the Druski Erica Kerr emote, yeah.
Okay.
Yes, in spite of the, in spite of third way, we're still out here trying to do our best,
you know, linking up with candidates that are fighting against the establishment Democrats.
To make it out of the primaries so that they can put up a much stronger opposition to these
Republicans that are
Actually much easier to defeat. It's just much harder to defeat them when you have a diet version of what they represent, you know
Why get the diet soda we need to full strength?
Unfortunately, that's you know
It's just something that we've brought about ourselves for no reason. We're just like literally or constantly
playing with training weights on for no reason whatsoever in my opinion and it
doesn't even matter if it's the affluent district or not I mean Territown is like
someone affluent district but it also happens to have like I think like 60%
child poverty so it's not you know there is everywhere around this country
there are wealthy there are wealthy districts but there's a lot more poor
people living in those wealthy districts as well. They're just made invisible, often times.
And also on top of that, they're kind of cast aside by the political process. They don't
feel heard
um they feel voiceless so they don't see the point of participating in
democracy yeah was that to hear talk about that
with the latino population there yeah stop calling the mumdani method it's
the piker method no no it's cool no i don't mind
making those zoran associations okay
um that's not that's not a bad thing because like
For the time being, he's a very successful and very popular politician, so it's a very easy way to
help people at home understand, you know, what kind of like left populism you represent.
I support Zoran's wife, me too. Unconditional support, not even critical.
Terry town is sleepy hollow headless horseman lore nice
I was visiting my wife in rehab and one of the family members of one of the other people
in there had a zin shirt on law nice woke white woman at no kings let's take a look
This is the part of the car ride where we do uh, live reacts.
Is this from your own stream?
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.

No.
Oh my god
Proud boys and Trump supporters counter-proteas no Kings rally in West Palm Beach
But I guess like even the even the no Kings lives that are not putting up with this shit in Florida
and seems to be
Look at the...
Yo, she's using my bar. I can't use that anymore. I can't say that. She said you're in red, dude
Yeah, there are Hassanabi heads for those with eyes to see all around us
She got the energy
That's sick
Yeah, she hit him with a your in bread dude, you know, we can't do this
Won't you be conning in bread? It's like I think it's such a perfect prejortive because like
In many circumstances like what I oppose is a ethno supremacy religious supremacy racial supremacy
So like what is all of that all of that requires in breeding all of that requires this
genetic purity it revolves around it's anchored around like some kind of
idiotic mythical genetic racial superiority and the only way to achieve
that is by inbreeding it's precisely the reason why all these like these
monarchs of the past were so severely fucked up and had like traceable
hereditary characteristics due to the doing exactly that you know
who keep the bloodline pure so it's like so funny when people get mad at that
it's like well you know I have other bad words I can use it's just I'm using
this one because it's not a swear word yeah we're 8k doughnuts the FV tell
everyone the donut pump at the 10k grade interview one of your better
ones on these series okay nice thank you
I've been calling anti-immigration pro-immigrant members pro-incis for a while.
I guess there's a better way to say it.
She mugged you.
Oh, this was the white lady, right, that came up and ran up to me.
I was a little worried.
I thought she was going to be a third-way hop.
When she ran up to me, I was like, oh no, this is Maddie B. Maddie B. Third Way,
sending his shooters.
It's just weird.
the signs that I was when we were at the No Kings rally, none of the signs I saw said
better things are not possible. We want moderate tax breaks for small businesses. Perhaps it
was too difficult to write on a, you know, on one of those like cardboard placards, but
No Kings, just feudal lords. Yeah, like No Kings, but also maybe sometimes Kings.
Um, you know, it's interesting.
Yeah, there was, there was no, like, I stand with Israel signs either.
More money to Israel, please.
More bombs overseas.
We don't want schooling.
Um, you can hide it at this point.
I'll hit the chat.
I'll hit the VRB screen and then, um, we'll be, um,
I'll be live on the desktop in a second, you know?
Okay, let's...
Let me know when you're on that train.
Yeah, we're not, yeah. I mean, I'm just...
We can just keep it.
Yeah, that's fine.
Or they can hear me.
True.
Yeah, that's what I'm getting.
These are the New Yorker I got showed.
It looks great.
No, no, no.
Without the shoes.
Look at the sock.
We're trying to find it.
Can you see the New Yorker under it?
Oh, this one doesn't see it.
This one doesn't see it.
Okay.
Tell the other one.
So the other one has it.
So here's...
Yo, Emma.
Pete?
That's crazy.
I'm sorry.
So the New Yorker, when I did the New Yorker festival, which again, people were protesting
and did not want to do it.
Right.
They say I'm a dangerous guy, apparently.
They gave me these.
Is this the same thing over here?
Oh, it's on this side.
I can't show it, it's like the one side that I cannot show.
Okay?
Beautiful.
But the reason why I'm trying these is because they're the best socks I have now.
It's in rotation. The color is great because it goes with like, my shoes.
I feel like New Yorker readers probably have a good taste for socks.
Yeah.
They just sound like the type.
Yeah, it's like, I don't, I don't know how to explain it.
You gotta have a good sock sometimes.
Yeah.
comfy they're very cozy socks so yeah those shoes definitely will not keep you
warm in there like they're beautiful yeah nice but they're I pack them because
they're they take up basically zero space it was like I don't check in any of my
luggage yeah like to carry on pieces I stuff the IRL backpack you're carrying
into one of the carry-ons and then I put like whatever however many articles
clothing I can for like a two-day three-day trip mm-hmm so these are like
super easy to slam in I have a very strange approach to traveling that some
Some people consider unconventional because they're haters and they don't understand.
They don't like these shoes I've seen in a while, but they don't like it.
They don't see sweat. They don't appreciate sweat.
That's just one guy.
No, it's Matt.
They don't understand sweat.
It's so good.

Is it still?
You can also then pull it up, pull up the camera too.
You can also then pull it up the camera too because it's very heavy, so it like pulled
down.
Yeah, no, that's perfect, I think, yeah, yeah, and then, oops, and then no, no, no, no,
I would just like the door.
That's crazy.
Okay.
I'm good.
Thank you.
No.
No.
Yes, please.
Yeah, I think so. We're going to see if it works or not.
All right, boom. It is working. Okay, perfect.
What? Yeah, you can turn it off and then you swipe it.
it. Okay. Yeah, the one time I was live on there, you got the ad segment. All right, we're
back to situational monitoring right now. And then we're going to be doing this. The
the
military analyst, we're going to be doing the the rally. But
before I do that here, we'll watch this for now.
Look at this insane Twitter headline image about you, okay, hold on.
Okay.
Sean Bell is here.
Sean, great to see you.
I mean, it's interesting that now we finally see the Houthis.
I mean, I say finally because there would be talk of them joining the war
and now we're seeing them do it.
How do you think that changes the balance of power, if you will,
between all the war infections?
Yeah, I think it's fascinating, Barbara.
And if you look back in context,
Mokorubio, President Trump seemed to be celebrating victory
in the war against Iran, and we're sort of moving on to,
how's the talking going to now start taking place?
The events on the ground, because of this war,
is expanding and expanding fast,
particularly the Houthis now attacking Israel.
It's not the first time they've done that.
Now, who are the Houthis?
Well, they're part of the Iran sort of backed group.
They're called the Axis of Resistance,
but they, Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis.
But back when the Center for Oksa
when Hamas attacked Israel.
Shortly after that, the Houthis started attacking Israel,
but also started attacking the Bab Al-Mandab
straits and shipping, which is just off the southern tip
of the Yemen there.
And of course, the-
Another key route of that.
Well, we've got onto that.
But the Bab, certainly the Houthis, though,
they're well armed.
They've got ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, rockets,
and the like.
And as you say, 15% of global trade
actually passes through there.
And they vary effectively.
They actually sank two ships as part of that whole thing.
Now, despite America and the UK doing some campaigns
against the Houthis, most recently, about a year ago,
it's pretty evident that with the straits of almost now,
the Babamandab straits, this is Iran,
could actually tighten the stranglehold
on these vital arterial sea lanes
that demonstrate near power in the conflict.
Yeah, so there's that angle.
And then, of course, there's been a base
attacked in Saudi Arabia.
Again, you know, a month in,
we're just seeing all of this escalate even further.
This one is particularly interesting, I think,
because there's been loads of attacks in the Middle East.
We're not hearing about all of them
because the rules are much more strict now
about reporting from people's phones.
But Prince Soltan Air Base,
really enormous air base being there before,
largely a big hub for US operations.
Now, the reason we're hearing about it
is 12 US service personnel got injured too quite badly.
But the real story is, okay,
so what were the Iranians targeting here?
And actually, when you ship it all back,
turns out it's these KC-135 tanker aircraft and for a lot of people watching they go hang on a minute
why would you have one of these tanker aircraft why are they being targeted well the key is because
these are called force multipliers because when I was flying my military jets around they're quite
small small wings they've only got about an hour an hour and a half of fuel and the day
why is this video why does video have a crazy whistle on it I don't understand oh CNN already
made a video no kings progressive social media influencer joins no kings protest in Manhattan
the mid flashing billboards and marching crowds in Times Square. Progressive influencers,
Sompiker and Harry Sisson. Oh, Harry Sisson was there. Nice. Nice.
Now who's the audio perfect? Yeah, I'm the audio perfect.
And no King's protests in Manhattan. The provocative left-wish,
two-streamer Megan Headlines for his loud criticism of the Israeli government described
the protests as a good umbrella under which people can advocate for various causes. Not everyone
here is actually here exclusively because of the war in Iran, for example, Pactol CNN.
Some people are here because there's a war against trans people in this country and they care about that
Piker also described his role within the Democratic Party saying despite headlines designating him as an issue for Democrats
He believes he shares the same goals with most I don't want Republicans to win in this country
Piker said we can argue a methods
Maybe you think that my worldview my values and the policies I want the politicians I represent might be different from yours
But at the end of the day, I think we have the same goals
Cessana 23 year old known for posting political videos on his 2.1 million picked our father said people are anger that we're at war right now
Donald Trump is golfing adding it's a betrayal of the American people he's
always on message he's always on message this guy he's always like
bringing it back to like fuck Donald Trump you know see that's the difference he
has the messaging discipline of like being a reliable mouthpiece or spokesperson
for the Democratic Party I have no ambitions of the sort and almost three
times many as last people in Lauderdale including Oliver Larkin Larkin
night's rise up. Larkin heads.
What's wrong? It's good. It's good. I just
alright. Alright. Thank you for everything. That was
fantastic.
You're much better than March. March is done. He's dead.
No, no, he's dead. He's dead to me. He's dead to me.
He's
no, no, he's dead to me.
All right.
All right, we'll do
We do it like that
I'm just trying to not show the wind like I feel like the window is lame
You know what I mean? Is this better?
Click the Twitter headline I sent you you gotta see the days at Michigan rally
Michigan Senate primary rubs over Hassan piker rallies. What the fuck is this AI?
AI. God, AI is so bad. It's so stupid, unbelievable. I'm such a, oh God, so autistic. I got a clue.
Hold on.
There it is.
Okay. Where were we?
AI is so trash. Moderates leverage extremism that's counting moderates of both sides. Yeah, that's not how that works.
Did you see Aaron's effort posting defending you?
Lots of corporates claiming Asana Hunt is anti-spec because he's anti-Zionist. Let's look at what he's actually said about Jews and about anti-Semitism.
Each of these are quotes from Asana Streams in which he again and again calls out actual anti-Semitism and speaks up for Jewish people.
This is someone who cares a lot about the safety of my Jewish sons, then freaks like
Jonathan Greenblatt.
Anti-Semitism is a canary in the coal mine of fascism.
It's one of the oldest picketries that has caused those of the Jewish faith a tremendous
amount of pain.
From pogroms to the holocaust, Jews have always been singled out by those in power
as a scapegoat for instability and economic volatility people in power caused.
A resilient nation anti-Semitism is a constant threat, especially as economic instability
makes those in power seek out old targets.
Pittsburgh synagogue shooting happened not that long ago anti-Semitism has been a problem
Western society in perpetuity has always been an issue originally it was used to justify
programs against Jews explosion of murder and forced conversions whether you look at
Spain and Portugal or Russia or any other place where Jews live this shit is so damaging
dude I think there's nothing grosser than well being anti-Semitic period but also there's
nothing grosser than both being anti-Semitic and then using the cause of passing and
to feed more to feed people more interested in commentary.
This is your pet project, dude.
Fuck you.
What is this?
No sides.
What disguise?
I love when some chatters will come in here and have like a totally side project,
a side conversation with me.
Camera is so too zoomed in.
You're out of focus.
Um, if I'm out of, oh yeah, I am out of focus here.
I'll fix it.
Not the zoom.
That's a problem.
It's the focus is a problem.
Boom.
We're good now.
Trump glazing China socialism. Yeah, these are from the video, I think.
Quick moment to say, Fuck Newswire.
Representative Ro Conn is this Democratic coalition needs to engage with Israel critics like Samarkar, who wants an American serve 9-11.
That's so funny. That's fucking hilarious dude
Yeah, that's they put a photo of 9-eleven
Yeah, they don't they still have not forgiven me for not taking that
Not taking that poly market cash is crazy
easy. It is a big it is a bit nutty. Like you refuse the poly market cash one fucking time.
You refuse the poly market cash one time. And they just never let up. This is like,
this is an ongoing gripe that they have with me because I said no, when they wanted
the sponsor because they're also newswire sponsored by poly market is a poly market
ad basically it's like one long-standing poly market ad and I famously during the last election
cycle they wanted to sponsor my stream and the entrance like the they entered the conversation
at like $1 million just for the day was crazy and I was like no we're not doing that and
ever since then they have not stopped. Anyway, you've not led up on attacking me. By the
way, the AI headline I said must have changed because it previously said Elisa McMorro rallies
with Muslim streamers on by grafter synagogue bombing. That's insane. See what David Sarota
said to. Yeah, I did. We covered it earlier. Oh, these are some of the other bad Democrat
Michigan Senate candidate, Elisa McMorro campaigns with Hassan.
Democrat Michigan Senate candidate, Elisa McMorro campaigns
with Hassan, after attempted bombing of Temple Israel preschool
in West Bloomfield.
God, AI is going to save us.
Going to save his chat.
Clearly.
Corey Booker taking smiling photos of Yoha Galant after Galant was indicted by the ICC
for crimes against humanity and had an active warrant for his arrest, but drawing the moral
line at going on a soundbite stream perfectly sums up this bullshit outreach campaign.
Yeah.
You just got to remember that was a great rally, by the way, I am, you know, it
It's always good to go out. It's always good to go out and protest, you know?
But, um...
There was a huge crowd of Asan fans of the No Kings protest who thanked him for pulling them out of the right-wing anger chamber and becoming more progressive.
This is who APEC-backed Democrats are too busy, are busy trying to stop.
A short laugh of people coming up to Asan during the No Kings protest and thanking him.
seems like the more hate he gets from the clowns the more probably becomes and I love to see a go for him
yeah I just this is part of the reason why I don't let this shit get to me you know what I mean
this is part of the reason why because it's like
we're not this is you know I'm I'm simply one part of this
I'm simply only one part of this, right? But it's a fairly robust movement. It's a big movement, man.
No Kings, New York City, MAGA is furious over how successful this was. It's so funny. Yeah,
Yeah, MAGA was furious.
They are coming after you.
Be careful, Ankh.
Briefly spoke to Hassan Piker
at the No Kings demonstration in New York today
about the debate.
Yeah, here, let's watch.
That's fast, man.
The debate that's going on about you right now
is that you are too extreme,
that you are anti-Semitic,
and that democratic candidate shouldn't associate themselves with you.
That is what...
Could you give us... I mean, for the CNN audience...
I mean, what's your response to that?
It's ridiculous.
It's the only reason why this issue ever gets brought up.
It's a heinous smear, first of all.
I've spent my entire professional media career
and far beyond that combating anti-Semitism.
I've been doxxed, swatted by neo-Nazis,
for my consistent advocacy against anti-Semitism.
I just also happen to be an avowed anti-Zionist.
I believe Zionism is a very racist ideology.
It's an ethno-religious supremacist ideology.
And it's the underpinning ideology
that has caused the genocide of Palestinians
in the hands of Israel and also the United States of America.
And because that is such an impossible issue
to address on moral terms,
that I think a lot of people cynically
will say prominent critics of Israel are anti-Semitic.
Are there critics of Israel that are anti-Semitic?
Absolutely, I'm not one of them.
As a matter of fact, I combat and fight against them
pretty actively, which is why I find it so distasteful
and so ridiculous that these smears
would consistently get advanced,
only because you can't have a conversation
on where the party's moral center is right now.
This is a 90-10 issue, you know?
After October 7, 2023, there were a lot of people
who were not willing to have this conversation
about 80 years or 75 years of apartheid at that time.
But now after two and a half years
of Israel's unlimited bombings
and genocide, a lot more people are aware
about exactly what was going on
in the regular lives of Palestinians
living under this crippling apartheid on a good day.
But two things that keep getting brought up.
You said America deserve 9-11.
Yeah.
Damn, they did you right.
I'm kind of shocked it wasn't cut up.
I mean, I don't know how much of that will be placed
on like a regular CNN,
but it's a,
Donnie, Donnie is not, you know,
Donnie's not gonna fuck me up.
My guy looking like he practiced that shit
in the mirror was so clean.
It's cause I keep repeating it over and over again.
That's why I have to repeat myself so much,
unfortunately, which is why, you know,
It's a somewhat of an airtight message.
Why you look like Bigfoot here?
New York City, DSA has spotted and no kings.
Yeah, I love that hat.
And you use the term Zionist pace.
So I think there are some things
that keep being brought up and I mean how do you justify using the same I
call Nazi pigs Nazi pigs as well like I said Zionism is an ideology it's up to
the individual to associate with it or not it's not a it's not personhood right
I oppose and for racism ethno supremacy racial supremacy of every sort I'm
I'm against it, I'm an anti-fascist,
I'm unapologetic about it,
and I'm not going to compromise on that.
I think these kinds of like aesthetic postures
are distractions away from the real conversation.
I think many people understand it.
Even if they don't have the tools
to properly communicate it, many people are frustrated.
Yeah.
It was kind of hard to hear you on the other camera. Really?
You see the Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco has just been seizing ballast started last week
He's running for California governor as well
Manthi calls out the Dems who go on Bill Maher
Apparently Robert DeNiro and Padma Lakshmi were also there at the protest. Yeah, that's my it's my woke goat Robert
Democratic senators Cory Booker Rubin Geigo and at least a slog and also political
They won't go on a song by your show, but they've all been on Bill Mar show
who says Islam is like the mafia.
The Muslim world has too much in common with ISIS.
Muslims bring desert stuff to the West and it's also used to end word
out a show by the double standard.
Slotkin was on Mar show yesterday.
I think we all know what the double standard is.
It's because you could say unlimited heinous shit about Muslims
And it's totally fine because Islamophobia is institutionally permitted.
Okay.
As a matter of fact, Islamophobia is institutionally welcomed.
Not only permitted, it's welcomed.
Wow. Comparing Piker DeMar, didn't your buddy call his inbred bloodthirsty pigs?
Piker didn't call glorify murdering.
This guy got so horny typing this out, it's got to be a bot, right?
Yeah, I know this is okay.
I want to see where this account is actually from says New Jersey.
I doubt it, I don't believe it.
The country or region that account is based can be impacted by recent travel or temporary
relocation.
This data may not be accurate.
AIPFP.
Yeah.
Yeah. He's from a country the size of New Jersey. Yeah. Good for them for not going on
the performative one show. First of all, like, I don't get it. I'm performatively anti-Semitic.
Is that what you're saying? Like you're undercutting your own argument. You made up an argument.
I didn't say those things, right?
But you're also, not only is the argument made up,
but you also then immediately undercut it by saying
it's actually just performative too.
It's very weird.
Like none of this shit makes sense.
You will also, you will eventually realize
that many of my naysayers,
many of my haters are oftentimes
not particularly intelligent people. I don't know why it it pans out that way but it just
usually how it usually how it works at least in my experience I'm not just simply saying that
that's just been my experience overall anytime I fucking encounter a hater in the wild
sometimes I look through my replies and they're just like angry it just made up shit
Yeah, it's just pattern recognition.
Or he's implying that the community is anti-Semitic and you're performing for us.
No, I don't think he's implying anything.
I think he's just like so angry and so horny.
That's all it is.
Wait, where's the where's the link?
Oh
Meanwhile huckabee thinks he's married to israel. Yeah, that's really funny
Um, mike huckabee loves israel my huckabee. I think genuinely does love israel like he if there's a guy
you know how like
You know, sometimes you say like if you love israel so much why don't you live there? Like mike huckabee does live there
that's number one
And he's the one guy you can't actually, he's the one guy that you can't actually be like,
if you love Israel so much, why don't you marry it? Because he would be like, I would marry Israel.
Like I would, he'd be like, I sacrificed my firstborn for Israel. I love Israel so much.
I would marry it. I wish I could. I wish I could marry Israel, Israel.
Is he Jewish? No. No. He is the one constituency in this country, like obviously there's a
lot of Zionist Jews, but there is one constituency in this country that has one, outsized influence
and politics, and two is way more zealous demonstrates way higher degrees of zealotry.
Evangelical Christian Zionists, okay? They get virtually no pushback
for how much they ride for Israel and how like what the severity is, the severity of the tone,
It's wild. This isn't to say that like there aren't you know prominent Zionist Jews, right?
They obviously are, right? A lot of Jewish institutions, especially, will openly associate with
Israel, openly promote Israel, which I think is very damaging, even if the Jewish people are not
of one mind, but most people's understanding is like, oh, this is like a Jewish thing.
It's a lot more of a Christian thing than it is a Jewish thing, I promise you.
This isn't to take away the responsibility from Zionist Jews, either, or the record.
I'm not doing that at all, but I do have to explain to you that there is one group
about there that rarely ever gets the attention, even though they play a massive role.
You're finally getting some institutional support for these Islamophobic attacks against you.
Oh, Care National, hell yeah.
Even a bigger problem.
Senator Slotkin doing on Bill Maher's show. A few days ago Senator Slotkin condemned a
Muslim Democratic politician for associating with Osama Khan, yet she has no problem associating
with Maher, a man with a long, clear and indisputable history of anti-Muslim hate. The double
standards that American Muslims face, even from a senator who represents one of our
nation's largest Muslim populations, are truly remarkable. If consistency means
anything to Senator Slotkin, she should denounce Bill Maher's bigotry and apologize
for embracing him. I mean, I don't even fully love this because, like, what they
associate with my commentary. Even what they say about what I'm saying about Jews is nowhere
near as heinous as like. And it's false to begin with, but it's nowhere near as heinous
as what Bill Maher says with regular frequency about Muslims, Muslim Americans, Islam, like
unbelievable. Did not know that Stephen A is actually a bit of a maniac defending A pack
on the war in the war on Iran bizarre. Yeah, he is. He is a freak show. Didn't Bill Mark
Glaze 9-11 pilots, he did. And he did it right after 9-11. Yeah. Peter Savodnik from the
free press says, he's confused about the nature of the new hypercharged anti-userile
sentiment on the left. It has nothing to do with the policy or the Middle East or
rebuilding Gaza or the Iran war. It is fueled by a worldview that is fundamentally
anti-Semitic and there's no making common cause with that. It's not a matter of
negotiation or finesse. It's about guardrails. Yeah, okay, dude. Trump glazed 9-11 during
9-11. Oh, that's true. I forgot. Donald Trump did. Donald Trump did literally glazed 9-11.
Like in the morning of 9-11, it was pretty crazy. It's one of the craziest things I've
ever done seen. Okay, wait, I don't want to get in the backstage. Right now,
I feel like if I do that, it's going to, I'll just deafen myself.
Oh, I've been invited to speak. Uh oh.
Okay, so I need to get, I need to get Dustin people's names.
Okay, Oliver, I'm going to change your nickname include.
Okay.
Hello.
There you go.
Can hear you can see you.
Perfect.
Yeah.
Costumer she says he's in the server now in the server now.
Yeah.
Okay.
That is not true.
Okay.
I don't know.
Can you guys?
They need to follow up.
I think we can hear you, Hasan.
Okay.
I'm going to deafen myself now because I'm live already.
It doesn't want to go back to the horrible times when most people were in.
And I'm muting myself as well.
Okay.
Yeah, there's echo.
I'm going to serve her.
I'm going to discourse server with.
I know you can hear everything.
I know.
I know.
Calm down, chatters.
Y'all are annoying. I know. I know. Okay. So what are we doing here? I'll be a virtual
peace rally. You said yes. There's a virtual peace rally that's currently taking place.
I'm going to be doing a 15 minute slot, okay?
But they wanted me to be in the green screen.
I mean, in the green room, sorry, before we get started.
This sucks!
Okay, bro, fucking cool your jets, all right?
It's supposed to start at 3.30 and I'm, you know, I'm, hold on, I'm in there waiting,
me when we're going up because I'm live already and deafened deaf and uh okay I'm gonna play
some subway servers or cute animal videos okay everybody calm down I'm gonna do I'm
I'm going to do 15 minutes in this peace rally.
I did see Aaron coming to my defense.
Yes.
Anti-Israel sentiment is hypercharged
military as compared to me, who works for Hossbor Inc.
and calls any critics in any Yahoo anti-Semites.
Mind giving chat a shout out during the presentation.
Oh, 6.30 my time, 3.30 in like three minutes.
We're going to go up.
OK.
Okay
Is progressive socialism a thing? Yes, it is but this is not that but there are a lot of socialists on this
But yeah, I'm gonna be I'm gonna be on with Oliver Larkin and Hartzell and
We're gonna be talking about building anti-war movement in Cuba convoy international solidarity. Okay
On the virtual peace summit you didn't write your speech again
It's not a speech as a combo with two other people two other candidates are running
No flame, do you think you might be landed on Tuesday when you spoke Zanib by using certain language like unapologetic? Wait what? Yeah, I am an unapologetic anti-Zionist.
I'm also unapologetic in combating all bigotry.
Do you see Matt's tweet? Yeah, I did. It's so funny. You guys were clearly not in the car ride when we were talking about all this stuff because I addressed all of this stuff in the car ride.
I
Yes hearing more about Hassan Piker than ever before it seems a seems he's a big player in the Democratic Party
So no gaming maybe later chatter just kidding not happening
Does the 5k to the left? Yeah.
Crimson Desert Day? Okay. Will you try Resident Evil 9? No, I will not be doing that.
Hold on, I'm going to grab my Zinf real quick. I'm going to Zinfadel.
You lie as easily as you breath about gaming. Yeah, it's true. I do
Thank you.
Damn, damn, just 100 big bones.
That's crazy, that's crazy, that's crazy.
La booboo night when?
La booboo night forever.
Okay, your main stage audience when you're invited
to join, that's your segment.
So it's now.
Okay. All right.
Um, no, it's how Robert, it says it says earlier to load camera. Okay. Um, from discord.
Okay. It seems it's working. How about now?
I'm going to, I'm going to mute them for now that you get. So you guys can't hear them.
But I'm on the backstage before the main stage now.
Or I'm in the audience service.
Is everything okay?
Okay, they're like, they're literally doing like technical stuff.
I'm in the back rooms, they're doing technical stuff.
They did not factor in how this would be live streamed on my end.
Hasan, figure out this one.
No, it's not even my fault.
It's not even on my end.
With the Democratic Party base.
So they have gotten more strategic and sort of savvier
in the way that they mask their money.
And so perhaps you could speak to that
because I think it's really important
for people to understand.
It's not enough anymore just to ask politicians
if they won't take APAC money
because there's a variety of strategies
that they're deploying to make it
so that it isn't technically APAC money
even though it's coming from the same set of donors.
And you saw that directly in your race.
Yeah, absolutely.
So I mean, I saw it when I first ran
for this seat in 2022, when it became the most expensive
primary in North Carolina's history with APAC coming in
with over $2 million and crypto billionaire,
Sam Bingman-Free, who's now in jail for fraud,
came in with another $2 million.
And then in 2026, this election, we saw that shift
from a lot of the work that Casey and track APAC
has done of educating folks
and just the local grassroots pressure
that we were able to put on Representative Fushi
that at the end of 2025, she finally said
that she was no longer gonna take support from APAC,
even though it took three years into the genocide.
It took her flying on an APAC-sponsored trip to Israel
to take pictures with Nithin Yahu,
sending billions of our taxpayer dollars
to fund a genocide for her to even take that stance.
But it wouldn't have happened
if it weren't for this education piece.
And since she'd taken that pledge,
and we had been able to out-raise her,
out-organize her in every way that in the last week
before the primary, that was when the establishment was
kind of like, oh, shit, we're about to lose this seat.
And we saw over $2 million dumped
in the last five weeks, five days of this race
from the AI lobby of Anthropic,
whose technology has been used in the strikes on Iran,
whose technology was used in the illegal invasion
of Venezuela to kidnap their president,
as well as through the shadow packs
where essentially APAC is setting up
or APAC-aligned donors are setting up these packs
to funnel in their donors into races
that the candidate has said disavowed APAC
or that they know that it's gonna cause backlash.
And we saw what they did in Illinois with the elect women,
the progressive change packs,
the way that they were spending on behalf of another candidate
to take votes away from Kat Abu-Wazaleh.
The way that they were like, that they were working
but also had backfired for them there
because we saw that their preferred candidate,
a fine, didn't make it through.
We saw the same pack that was used in my race.
It's called Article 1 PAC.
It's the same group that was spent against Annalelia
Mahia.
And what's unfortunate is that within our Democratic Party
is that our establishment doesn't seem to realize
that the base is just against war in general.
Like, the narratives that we hear from folks are like,
oh, well, we're against Trump's war.
We're against Trump's invasion.
And it's like, yes, we're against that,
but we're against any war.
If the president was a Democrat, we wouldn't before the war then either.
We wouldn't before us using our taxpayer dollars to bomb children.
And unfortunately, and this is one of the reasons I run, is that there's such a deep disconnect
between our elected leaders at the federal level to the people and the human beings
of the West.
And that's why they're able to just send these billions of dollars, write these blank
checks to send bombs, to destroy hospitals, destroy schools, tear apart families, and
then turn a blind eye. You know, my opponent, Representative Fushi, like, and there were
several forums when she was asked about her funding and support from APAC. And in one
of the forums, she said, she was questioned about why did you take this money? And her
response was, well, I didn't know who they were. How do you take over $2 million
from an organization and not know who they are.
So incredibly dishonest.
Yes, and then on top of that,
she was later than, it was at another forum,
and I said that I'm proud to be the only candidate
in this race that has not accepted a cent
from Corporate Packs, the Pro-R lobby,
and I have not spent billions of our dollars
to fund the killing of over 70,000 Palestinians.
And her response was,
I haven't funded the killing of anyone.
What do those billions of dollars towards bonds go to?
They're not building homes.
They're not building homes.
I was telling you, you ran two incredible races,
came this close, and you forced her to take new positions.
So incredibly, incredibly important there.
We've got some new folks, some young up-and-comer,
you may have heard a little bit about,
especially recently in the news,
the extremely controversial Hassan Piker.
It's on great to see you. Yeah, I hope that we can start off with 10 condemnations and disavowals before we can let me just go let me just go through the panel here and ask everyone if they could just real quick condemn.
I'm going to get to you in just a second, but Hassan, I know that you have a kind of
limited time and I saw you're out at the No Kings Rally today.
What was that, you know, what was that experience like?
Do people are people upset?
what is the what's the vibe after all of this news coverage about you um oh are people upset at me
no obviously if that's what you're asking but uh the vibe is always the same at these rallies you
know there's a lot of kind-hearted liberals like self-identifying liberals that unfortunately don't
have the language to like adequately communicate exactly what their uh what their frustrations
are because there's a limitation there where they're I think that's part of the reason why
they express like no kings, right? It's all encompassing, but they're very clearly agitated
with not only the Republican Party, not only with Trumpism, MAGA, but they're also somewhat
frustrated with the Democratic Party due to the Democratic Party's feckless indifference
to all of these problems that are taking place from the domestic issues, the issues around the
economy, but certainly the endless wars that we are waging for no discernible reason. But yeah,
what's always interesting to me is the demographics. It's always like older,
somewhat well-to-do white liberals that are primarily attending these sorts of
of these sorts of movements.
It's very diverse.
It's much more diverse this time around.
And there were a lot of people.
Yeah, I noticed that too.
But I do see it as somewhat of a pressure valve
where clearly people are frustrated
and they just don't really know what to do.
And that is born out of the fact that the options,
the more productive, historically,
the more productive forces of pressure
have been totally eradicated in this country.
And I'm, of course, talking about like labor militancy.
So that's why there's no political education
to be able to properly express these desires.
And there's no real pressure point
that they can lean into that revolves around organizing.
So we just kind of walk around the street
a little bit, bang some drums, and feel a little bit better
about ourselves.
Now, to say all of that doesn't
mean that this is utterly unproductive.
I'm not criticizing it at all.
I think it's always great when people go outside
and show that they have the numbers
and show this administration that is somewhat responsive
to big crowd sizes as we know
that there are a lot of people who hate them.
So it's good.
Yeah.
I think it's also just like gives people some courage
to see the numbers out in the streets too.
And hello also to Oliver and Hartzell here,
two fantastic candidates who have stepped up to run.
And Hassan, I don't know if you know Lily Greenberg calls,
you probably remember,
she resigned from the Biden administration
over their policy of pursuing genocide.
And so Lily, maybe you can speak to some of what it looks
like from the inside and some of the, you know,
the reasons why, you know,
the Democratic party did fund a genocide
and didn't, you know,
refuse to put Palestinian American on the stage
at the DNC and why the leaders have been very tepid
in particular.
And you know, they'll, they'll say,
Well, Trump isn't consulting with us about the war or isn't planning the war properly,
but to get just the full-throated condemnation seems to be pulling teeth.
Yeah, I mean, actually, I think folks at this point are really, like everything that
Joy said, everything that Kyle said, I think the public is really aware of the reasons
why Democrats are unable to truly condemn the war and also truly condemn and then
use their power and leverage as representatives of the US Congress or folks in the administration
leadership, American government officials to actually try and change anything on the ground
in Palestine.
I mean, I, you know, one of the reasons why I think my story made the splash that it
did was unfortunately that I was the only Jewish official to publicly leave.
There were some folks who left privately and I wish that they had chaired why they left
and used what felt like an important role that Jewish Americans have to play and especially
Jewish Americans in government, but also because I grew up very pro-Israel and I used to be
involved with APAC when I was young because that was just what my community did.
If you cared about politics, which I did, because I was a nerd, and if you cared
about Jews, in particular, if you were pro-Israel, whether you were a Democrat
a Republican, it didn't matter. And for me also growing up in a group in San Diego and
a more conservative community with a lot of Republicans, Israel was kind of the one thing
that we could agree on. And so I spent a lot of time in that space and started to change
my mind as I got to college and got to actually meet Palestinians and be confronted with
the reality of the history of the state of Israel that I was only told a very
brain, very propagandized, very whitewashed history of, but also as Trump was elected,
and it became very clear to me, you know, like I was suddenly, I was like, why am I
sharing space with white nationalists and with with Christian evangelical right wingers
who, you know, and why are they, why do these people feel empowered to tell me what
to do, right, to tell me not to walk out of an APAC conference where Trump is speaking,
which is something that really happened.
This guy with a giant wooden cross looked at me
and said, this is really not the light of y'all.
And I was like, hold on, you know,
I thought this was, I thought people here were here
because they cared about Jews and American Jews.
And again, I was like 20 or 18, you know,
but all of that, that kind of like ugliness
rising to the surface is what helped break
a lot of the cracks for me.
And then working in the administration,
Like I, even when I went in, you know,
was already moving to the left in a lot of ways
and was very clear, like clear-eyed about the role of APAC
and the role that corporate interests play.
But it was another thing then to see the genocide unfold
and to see that, you know, I was organizing
like massive dissent throughout the government,
Capitol Hill staffers, administration, you know,
people across ages rank, you know,
folks at the State Department,
folks that where I worked at Interior,
It didn't matter. It felt like pretty much everyone around me, for varying reasons,
thought that we weren't doing enough and thought that our policy of unconditional support for
war crimes that was in violation of our own laws and was also going against both the expertise of
people in government and the majority of the opinion of American voters. We were all on the
same page, but our bosses wouldn't listen. People just were incredibly boxed out.
And it, I've had Palestinian friends of mine get told to their face by members of Congress, you know, we sympathize with you, you have the more argument, but until you bring us money or votes, nothing is going to change.
And I think that it's clear to, yeah, incredibly, I mean, that's how, you know, if you want people to care about government or care about democracy, like, that's really, that's really good.
that's a really good way to do it, but I think it's very clear to everyone now that APAC
functions as like a right wing organization and that it's a combination of industries,
as you all were saying, like it's tech, it's AI, it's defense contractors, but it's also just the
corporate powers that be. And it has nothing to do with protecting Jewish safety, of course,
and nothing to do with protecting the interests of the American people. And it's not even just
about foreign policy because all of these things are connected. Our war economy
lines of pockets of billionaires here. Tech makes a lot of money in the ice and deportation and
incarceration system. All these industries profit from forever war and incarceration and deportation
and those are the people who give the most money to our representatives. And because of the way
our political system is set up, which needs to be fundamentally changed, the people who give
that kind of money are the ones that that people in power listen to and yeah I mean that's that is
unfortunately the reality I think that there is a shift in terms of being able to buy it is going
it is harder now and it will continue harder to buy people's votes because we have access to
internet and you know social media and and the kind of platforms like the one we're on right
right now that help people break through some of the mainstream media and just like lack
of education and lack of political education in this country.
But that's also why these like mass mergers of all these media companies are going through
and why someone like Jeff Bezos even wants a newspaper in the first place because
they want to control the flow of information that reaches voters.
And you know, that's that's one of the reasons why I don't know how familiar
people are on this call with the organization called a new policy that was founded by two of
the other folks who resigned from the administration, but I'm doing some work with them and supporting
them because I do think it's going to take a combination of outside pressure and people
who know how to play the inside game and to really change the politics around Israel,
Palestine, and create those new incentive structures within Washington.
Well, we really admire you for the journey that you took and also the courage that
that you showed to come forward.
It was incredibly important and for the work
that you're doing and Lily, Kasey, Joy, Nitta,
thank you guys so much.
I could talk to any one of you guys for like the whole night,
but we have a million guests in the lineup.
So thank you all so much.
Love you guys. Great to see you.
Thank you so much.
I think one of the strategies, you know,
in terms of you have these mainstream politicians
who realize now that they are wildly at odds
with the base of the party is now,
I mean, I think this is part of what's happening
with the whole decision to like demonize you
even after Cuomo tried this
and it didn't work too well in the mayor's race
is they also don't want to have to talk to you
because they know they're gonna have to answer questions
that they're gonna make them look really bad.
So I think that's part of what's going on here too.
Like Alyssa Slotkin, I think was one who was like,
that's out of bounds, you know?
Well, she doesn't want to have to answer
the questions that you would put to her.
Yeah, I find it really funny because like I never invited them on to my show.
I like, they're just like saying that they refuse to talk to me ahead of time.
And it's very funny because like there are some establishment liberals that have
wanted to come on the show.
And I've kept it private in the past, but one of them actually happened.
My refusal happened in front of a New Yorker journalist.
and I didn't realize that that wasn't off the record.
So that's, if you want to find a name,
I'm not going to say it,
but it's on a New Yorker Magazine article.
Now, what's interesting is,
you nailed it.
These guys don't want to have that conversation at all.
And I think what they are trying to do,
what they think is,
they're operating with an old guard mentality,
where they think like, oh,
it's very prestigious for a random Twitch streamer
to appear alongside a politician.
giving them credibility. It's very prestigious for a random Twitch streamer to get favorable media
coverage from legacy publishers, you know, like the New York Times. Oh, we went to the
Vanity Fair's awesome party. Like we have to do something about this. And what they don't understand
is that in the new media environment that we exist in, I get a lot more real,
broad awareness out there when I appear on Theo Vaughn's show. That's just the reality.
The eyeballs and the attention are, you know, maybe fortunately or maybe unfortunately in the hands of people who are in new media, which don't have these similar attitudes, don't have this kind of like gatekeeping perspective.
And it's not necessarily good for me when a politician comes on my show. As a matter of fact, they get inundated with smears. It's good for them.
I do it because there are politicians I want to hype up. I mean Oliver's in here right now
He's one of the people that we both fundraise for and also had on and interviewed so
I think a lot of people know
Oliver's Oliver's running against Jared Moskowitz in Florida in a Democratic primary and very important race there
yeah, and the the thing is like
Like, most people understand that, and that's precisely the reason why they are hearing,
you know, third way, make a big fuss about this issue and demanding that Democrats draw
a line in the sand, and maybe even getting a little bit of help from some of the other
advocacy groups and lobbying arms that we have heard from earlier, and of course referencing
Israel that politicians do these sorts of call-out posts. It's really remarkable that they've chosen
a 90 to 10 issue in the Democratic Party's base to like draw a line in the sand over.
Because most people understand that this is not about perceived anti-Semitism or anything like
that. It's absolutely about genocide. It's absolutely about apartheid. It's absolutely
about denying aid to Israel, like conditioning aid to all countries, but certainly denying aid to
Israel for its crimes. It's illegal in our laws for us to give a single dime to Israel because
it's very clearly using it to violate our laws and violate international human rights laws.
Yeah, I also want to welcome in Qasem Rashid. He is a human rights lawyer,
author, former congressional district candidate out my way in Virginia, and very courageous
person as well. And mentioned before, Hartzell Gray, but just to give people the details there,
he's a Democratic Socialist. He's a former NPR host. He's running for Congress in Missouri's
fourth congressional. Is that Kansas City, Hartzell? Yep, KC, that's us. Very nice.
It's a Super Bowl district. I don't know if you knew. Gotcha. Hartzell, what are you
seeing in your race in terms of, you know, how animated people are about the war right now?
Yeah, and if I can start real quick just to kind of piggyback on the APAC conversation. So
before we had even announced our race, so we were actually running in the fifth against a 20-year
APAC incumbent, a Democrat. This is before the gerrymandering assault, right? And so
at the time, we hadn't gone public with our race at all. You know, we had done some
preliminary payment for work and things like that. But I'm on Insta. It's a Sunday night
and I get a random DM and the person says that, hey, congrats on your race. And she has
it all laid out for me. And she says, I'm with one of the biggest lobbying firms in
the country would love to reach out and have a conversation. Like literally says
lobby in the email. Like it's crazy, right? So I sent that to my campaign manager
and like no ifs ands or buts, like masks all the way off,
it literally said her name at apac.com.
And so what we did immediately was go hit up our friends
at track APAC, so shout out Casey one more time.
But it is just another example of trying to buy off
another blackface to shill and stump for a genocide
and apartheid and ethno-national state.
And so this is the kind of game,
and to then this is a game,
but it is a real life.
It is our lived experience for us,
but to them it is just a pawn at chess piece.
And at the time, by the way,
Cleaver is an APAC candidate,
the 20 year, 80 plus year old incumbent.
So they are still going to hedge their bets
for the young black dude,
as opposed to shilling for Israel with the old black dude,
right?
And so that is just right off the bat.
I wanna just say how much,
like this is an assault on democracy
and the guys of human rights for a marginalized group, and I just think that that is disgusting,
to be honest with you.
So, what I'm seeing on the ground, I am seeing people who have worn the Trump hat three times,
will vote for him another three times, which I think is probably their plan, I think at
this point.
And what they know about Trump, to quote some of the evangelical words, it's like,
they know Trump is an imperfect vessel, right?
But it is the, it is the MAGA Republican congressman they have, whom I'm going up against, Mark
Alford, who is supposed to, you know, soothe Trump's worst angels.
So I can't get them to say that Trump sold them down the river to Israel.
But what they are telling me when I knock those doors are saying, hey, Mark Alford
sold us down the river to Israel.
Because our folks understand that, you know, private equity, who are taking up our
Our apartments in downtown Kansas City are also taking up the apartments in rural America,
but also their farms, right?
So why are we sending bombs to blow up babies in schools when we could be, I don't know,
funding rural hospitals here or just making sure we guarantee universal health care, housing,
a guaranteed job?
Our folks are feeling this.
Missouri is the show me state and these folks are showing their asses.
And so what we are doing is we are coming after theirs.
And that is a populist strain.
This is a red state that also voted to raise the minimum wage is a red state that voted
to get rid of right to work.
They gave paid time off.
Now the Republicans, they of course have fought us at every turn.
We codified abortion now it's back on the ballot.
Make that makes sense.
So again, like this gerrymandering fight is happening now, but it's something that
us working people, we have been under the thumb of the empire.
We understand what this is our folks who are profiting off of our pain, right?
off of genocide, what we should be doing when it comes to domestic security or whatever we
want to call it, let's actually make sure that the global south is going to be around
for a while.
How about we make sure that we fund UNRWA?
How about we make sure that we do piece through piece because piece through strength doesn't
make any sense?
Well, Harcel, I mean, that's a great way for us to kind of turn our conversation
to Kassim here.
human rights lawyer, obviously, there's like this kind of, I would say ignorant understanding
within some democratic party consultants that nobody votes on foreign policy and then if
it doesn't affect their pocketbook immediately that it's not going to be a motivating issue
at the polls.
What has your experience been in relation to that kind of theory?
Well, the short answer is that it's a crappy theory that's been just proven repeatedly.
Before I even dive into that aspect of it, that theory could have some merit, some legitimate
merit if the Democratic Party had been a party that championed working people.
If it worked on getting corporate money out of politics, if it worked on raising the
living wage when they had the trifecta and not letting the Jim Crow filibuster prevent
them from doing something as basic as that, if Biden and Harris had fought to extend
the child tax credit, which once it expired because they capitulated to mention in cinema
childhood poverty raised by 33% literally overnight if they had canceled student debt if they
passed universal health care.
So they make this stupid argument, but then in the meantime, when you ask them about
working families issues, they're abysmal.
People forget that under Biden and Harris, forget the inflation part of it.
That was tied to COVID and the US did actually better than most of the developed world
on the inflation side.
And on this sheer wealth and income inequality, the United States continued to be the worst
in wealth and income inequality in the developed world.
60% of Americans can't even make ends meet.
So this argument that they vote with their paycheck, if the Democratic Party, if the
establishment actually believed that, then pass them goddamn policies that reflect that.
But beyond that, what we know for more than 30 surveys conducted during the 2024
was that the number one issue, and I am muted
of Paul right after the election as well,
the number one issue was,
why are we funding a genocide in Palestine right now?
Why are we sending $38 billion to a regime
that's being incredibly accused
of war crimes and genocide
when my kid can't get enough to buy school lunch
or I can't afford basic daycare?
And so I think this, the disconnect
of the domestic policy
that isn't serving working people
and then not recognizing that people aren't stupid
and they see that Israel has universal healthcare, we don't.
They have free college tuition, we don't.
They have abortion access, we don't.
You're not inspiring people to come out and go through.
You're simply pointing out your own hypocrisy
and not realizing it.
The last thing I'll point out is that
Biden ran on Build Back Better.
That was his shtick, right?
That you elect me, I will save the soul of America,
I will restore order, I will restore a sense of decency.
And then the second they ran into a tiny bit of opposition
from within their own party, it had dropped it completely.
And we saw Harris do the same thing as well.
Ran a strong campaign to the start.
And the second, her brother-in-law said,
hey, maybe lay off on the attacks
on the corporate executives,
we saw that whole thing shift again.
And I think until the Democratic Party establishment
recognizes that we need more than just slogans,
it can't be just that meme of the difference
in Republicans and Democrats and Republicans
will bomb a brown country and Democrats
will put a pride flag on a plane and bomb a brown country.
Like the difference cannot just be that.
It has to be substantive.
And until that happens, we're going to keep losing elections.
So Hasan, you raised money for Oliver.
You did some, you guys streamed together.
So Oliver, how did that go for you guys?
Materially changed the course of our campaign.
And I think that was really just a flash point
in what so many people across the country have been feeling
and honestly, why Hartzell and I came together
to help organize this event,
which with such an incredible lineup,
I can hardly believe how many people are participating
but it makes an awful lot of sense
because when Jared Moskowitz came out
against the Roe Con and Thomas Massey
War Powers Resolution, Jared Moskowitz went so far
as to call it the Ayatollah Protection Act.
That was just an insult.
It was a slap in the face to his colleagues
and that was really the first moment
I've been running against Moskowitz since last year
And he's been awful on many different issues of perceiving this, but this was a flashpoint
because he was giving Donald Trump a blank check to take us into war when my generation,
Hartzell's generation, our communities have been completely divested from to spend trillions
and trillions of dollars overseas.
And so it occurred to me that, yes, I need to elevate this fight against Jared Moskowitz,
but they're candidates waging this fight all across the country against A-PAC Democrats,
against A-PAC Republicans, and so that we needed to organize.
And that's my background is as an organizer, but going on Hassan stream and I find it really
irritating, but also a little bit humorous because not not to compare Hassan at all to
Joe Rogan.
But I do remember a discourse around a certain Democratic candidate for president and independent
from Vermont going on Joe Rogan in 2019.
And people lost their freaking minds that Bernie Sanders went on Joe Rogan's show.
And then fast forward four years, why didn't Kamala Harris go on Joe Rogan's show?
So I can see a scenario where people are scolding Democrats for going on Hassan's stream now,
but this is a platform that is going to be decisive in 2028, the online space, Hassan's
speaking truth to power, like calling out the genocide, calling out the neo-colonial
apartheid state of Israel.
This is becoming a bipartisan issue.
I mean, we ran a poll in our district earlier this month and for those who aren't aware,
I'm running in sunny South Florida, one of the hotbeds of APAC candidates.
running against Jared Moskowitz. We've got W. Boston and Schultz right next door. There's this
perception that South Florida is uniquely different or uniquely less caring about sending US
taxpayer dollars to bomb children overseas and to perpetuate a genocide. We ran a poll
and by a two-to-one margin, people want to condition, reduce, or completely eliminate
military aid to Israel relative to those who want to continue funding this genocide,
as Donald Trump drags us into war, as Israel invades Lebanon and creates a million refugees.
And my perspective is we just have to be open and honest. We need to have a family conversation
about APEC's influence in our democracy. APEC endorsed 109 insurrectionist Republicans
after the 2020, 2021 attack on the Capitol in that very next midterm. APEC doesn't care
about democracy. APEC cares about what APEC cares about, which is the corporate interests,
the billionaire class and perpetuating this US colony in the Middle East that is only able to
exist with our taxpayer support while we're getting affordable housing divested from when we've got
a trillion dollars in Medicaid cuts. They're asking for $200 billion for this. Where were they
Ron? Where do you think that money came from? It's coming from the $1.1 trillion in Medicaid
cuts. Meanwhile, we can't have public transportation or affordable housing. So
So I was more than glad to go on this on stream.
This is, we need, as Democrats, we need to go into these spaces.
As a Democratic Socialist, there's a lot about our campaign that is challenging assumptions
about South Florida.
But what I can tell you is that at the No Kings protest in Fort Lauderdale today,
I was standing on the beach speaking to a few thousand people.
And when I said, South Florida deserves Arzoran Mamdani too.
We deserve democratic socialism in our community, too, because the working class is all across
the country.
The working class exists in blue districts, in purple districts like ours, and in red
districts.
And if we just speak to that, if we speak honestly and authentically about our experience
as working people, I'm 33 years old, I never even ran for student council, but I'm doing
this because our country needs to change.
We need to change, and this democratic party needs to change.
And so that's maybe putting a pin on it, but I would very much encourage any candidate
that is curious about going into these spaces do it, because this is a community, the online
space.
This is decisive in our elections now.
This is where people intake information.
They build community.
They process information.
They disseminate it.
And if we're not engaging in these spaces, then customs right, Democrats will continue
to lose.
to be honest, and we have to be bold and unafraid of the attacks of anti-Semitism when
we know we're just standing up for human rights.
It's also just, I mean, it does remind me of Zoran's election because right after Trump
wins, all these Democratic strategists are like, we've got to win back the young men.
How can we do that?
And then here's this candidate who is phenomenally popular with young men, and they're like,
no, not like that.
And I mean, same thing Hassan, you speak to a lot of young men who really look
up to you, who could easily be, you know, if they got on the wrong algorithm and were
swayed in a different direction, you could imagine them in, you know, or writing on Nick
Fuentes or whatever audience.
So quite to the contrary of you being some raging anti-Semite, I would be hard pressed
to think of someone who has done more to combat anti-Semitism than you, because you're
always extraordinarily careful to say, I'm not talking about all Jewish people the
way that Zionists want to, like Netanyahu, want to conflate all Jewish people with the
genocidal actions of this, you know, apartheid state.
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I do my very best to such a degree that people sometimes can
get annoyed. I mean, even Kyle was like saying, you have to do so much throat clearing
every single time you talk about Israel, like we get it. It's just unfortunately the
media environment that we're in. And I will say a big part of this is actually Islamophobia
too. The idea that like any Muslim, no matter how white they are like me, is automatically
anti-Semitic. The suspicion that they're always of course going to be anti-Semitic is
totally ridiculous. And we saw this with Zoran, not only just like my association being
used or being weaponized against them in some way, even though it was a spectacular
failure obviously, but also tying Zoran back to like religious extremism, tying myself back
to religious extremism. And we're now seeing that happen with Abdel El Saad in his race in
the Democratic primaries in Michigan. It's very cynical, but I think people are recognizing
exactly what the issue is about. They just don't want to have a conversation around Israel
because you can't have a real conversation around Israel on moral terms. They've lost
that argument. So they try to say anyone who speaks out against Israel is an anti-Semite.
And in this circumstance, they're heavily leaning into the Islamophobic associations
by claiming, you know, Abdullah al-Sayed, he's a Muslim guy. What does that mean for you?
How does that make you feel? And what's really remarkable about that race is that
this is the exact same issue that took place in the 2024 election. This was the exact
same problem that they chose not to associate with the Palestinian cause. They did not recognize
that this wasn't simply some sort of ethnic or sectarian tension, that there were people of
good conscience that came from every different background, that understandably saw the horrifying
violence that was unfolding on our timelines and wanted the Democrats to put an end to it
because they still had this notion that the Democrats actually do represent humanitarian values
in the way that they claim that they do. And they lost that election because they didn't want
that tent to be so wide that anti-Zionists could be a part of it. They wanted to expand that tent
as they always do to the list chainies of the world, to Bill Clinton, to bring Bill Clinton
and Richie Torres to Michigan only a month out from the general election. What a spectacular
failure that was. So it's remarkable to see Hailey Stevens who was already an Apex duge obviously,
but then also Mallory Mcmorrow now trying to like move into that lane and this like very
not so subtle way by drawing a line in the sand.
What do you think is the play there?
Is she trying to-
I said this to you yesterday, but I don't, yeah, donate if you guys can to combat some of this
money that's flooding in, but I think that that was McMoral auditioning for the Zionist
money that Haley Stevens had previously been getting.
So like, you can't go after Abdul in an openly Islamophobic way.
So like, we can go after Hassan because we can scare the boomer donors that may or may
not be Zionists, but like they're rich, so more than, again, you know, wealthy
donors and the Zionist project do overlap.
But they're also basically saying like, hey, this is an alternative to Abdul Al Sayyed,
the scary Muslim guy that we don't want to have in office.
I'm attacking Hassan.
Look, you can trust me, Jaystree or APEC.
I'll add to that really important point about it, because we just have the alumni primaries
here and we saw the way they functioned, $22 million APEC spent in this primary,
$22 million.
The number of times they mentioned Israel, zero.
the number of times they mentioned it back, zero.
They know that they are so toxic and disliked
by everyone across the board,
that they actually set up two packs,
one called Elect Chicago Women.
And then while slamming Kat Abu Ghazali
as a progressive Chicago progressive caucus,
just a complete fabrication.
And so when you see these dog whistles
of attacking Hassan,
it's actually, Hassan said it perfectly,
it is pure Islamophobia.
And Mehdi Hassan just put out this really important point
on his social media that people like Booker and Slotkin and Gallagher talking about how
they would never go on Hassan's show, but they've been on Mahir's show who drops the
n-word like there's no problem at all. He had the most grotesque compared to all Muslims
to ISIS. He says, I don't want that desert culture here, but they have no problem going
on his show. So it is a grotesque double standard. It is Islamophobia and it's
important that we lean in at this point. Instead of shying away, lean in because
They're already on their back foot. They're not even able or have the confidence to mention a pack or mention Israel
Because they know that people are associating the Israeli government with genocide rightly so for us to back off now
I think would be a disservice and it would enable them to win elections that they shouldn't win otherwise
Do you guys worry about you know what and what in what world does a
Democrat ever allow themselves to take any NRA money or any kind of gun lobbyist money, right?
Like why is there some kind of exemption when it comes to not just a pack but again like this is a broader conversation now
right it is the entire Israel lobby and
Again, like especially with this $200 billion ask. I've really especially in like rural America even
They're like wait a minute like hold on a second like
Number one this don't make sense. Also. Does this have something to an abstain?
I mean our folks the the amount of
of insulting of intelligence.
But like what I'm also learning
is they don't want to be educated.
But what we can do as folks of the left
is to just kind of help point out the direction, right?
Like, yes, no, this is absolutely part
of the Epstein class at axis of Epstein, right?
But it's also a 40 year project
of a bunch of neocons and warmongers.
And so I'm not saying that I'm going to draw a line
for you because I'm not gonna insult your intelligence.
But I'm saying like, if you just look like,
If you look that way, you see all this checks, right?
And I think that this moment, the window's open.
Hasan, I know you need to get back to your 84 hours of
public screening that you do.
We might be bumping up against the segment crystal.
Are you there?
I can't see.
Do you guys hear me?
Click on try again on your screens.
If you have an issue with seeing Chris.
Yeah, it'll fix it.
That's what I did.
You guys hear me?
All right.
I think I can be a crystal.
Okay, cool.
Oh, I cannot hear Crystal for some reason.
I don't wanna talk over her, so Crystal.
Well, I just, really quick Hassan,
before we let you go,
one other thing that's been,
that I've been wondering your thoughts on,
I've actually heard some of your thoughts on,
but you know, Tucker Carlson,
we see him out there doing some great interviews
that are quite enjoyable to watch.
At the same time, you know,
he's a Christian nationalist
and has a worldview that is repugnant.
So what is your strategy for how to approach this man?
So that's a great question.
I've been tracking Tucker Carlson's activities
quite closely since 2016.
I've often said he's one of the most dangerous propagandists
because he has a very good way
of making white nationals talking points
incredibly palatable.
And even back in 2016,
people used to associate the stuff that he was saying
with our very prominent white supremacists
and white nationals,
great replacement theory that he routinely brought in to mainstream conversations. And
now that's actually become a mainstream fixture of the Republican Party. And his trend lines
go, maybe it'll be the Democratic Party's main, you know, talking point as well in
the next four years or so, the way that they've been approaching things and then following
the Republican lead.
Having said that, one of the things that I am very frustrated with Tucker Carlson
is that he is a he's a very skilled communicator he's also fairly good at reading the room
even though he's a propagandist he's very good at reading the room and he has recognized and I
don't know if he's genuine about this or not but it doesn't really matter he's recognized that this
issue uh is world's genocide of the palestinians is one where he can lead right um my fears is
that for the time being, it's great, you know, maybe he's able to to bring some Republicans
to a more humane position on this issue alone, but that's not being reflected in the poll results,
right? Republicans seemingly are operating like a cult. They don't really care. Dr. Carlson says
he's against the war in Iran. Well, 100% of MAGA says they're for it. And overall, I believe
What is it like 85% of Republicans are approving of this this bombing campaign that's destabilizing entire world
So my frustration and fear is that if Democrats don't lead on this issue and lean into their base on this issue
Because that's like I said a 90-10 issue where 90% are in support of decoupling from Israel and only 10% want more
support for Israel
That Tucker Carlson is either going to utilize the existing leadership role that he's had in
2028 to to prop up a candidate, maybe JD Vance potentially, or even run himself. And if the
Democrats don't spend the next couple of years also leaning into their base and and advocating
for this issue, advocating for freedom for Palestinians sovereignty and dignity for them,
advocating to end these wars that we are wedging this time directly because of Israel with
Iran. They're going to lose. It's that simple. They're going to lose because
they're crossing will have a tremendous credibility on the side. And what are the
Democrats doing? They're actively trying to attack me and perhaps maybe you guys as
well. Eventually that because we're unapologetic with our anti Zionism, we're
unapologetically anti genocide. And they're so scared of facing their base
that they don't even want to recognize that someone like myself I'm just a
megaphone I'm just a platform or the the masses that's the reason why I'm
popular because I have the same frustrations that that many Americans
do and I'm just simply able to communicate it to this audience you're not
going to be able to recreate something like this you're not going to be
able to make like a pro DNC version of this, right? Not an independent media. Most people
are going to recognize that this is like indecent and they're going to want someone to reflect
their values. We're seeing a version of that on the Republican side. Look at Ben Shapiro.
Ben Shapiro was very popular. Ben Shapiro is funded by the same people, the same institutional
donors that have funded the Republican Party. The Wilkes Brothers, for example. And
now look at Ben Shapiro's popularity because he's so demonstrably Israel first that his
audience perished. They left. They looked for alternatives that actually don't put Israel
first in their, in their conversations. And now he has no relevancy whatsoever. But what
are the Democrats doing? What are the, what is liberal media doing? What is Jake Tapper
doing? These are the people that will now try to elevate Ben Shapiro's platform.
So they keep showing us over and over again that they would rather coalesce around
people who are pro-Israel, even if they're reactionary in every other way, including on
Israel, then to expand the tent to people that recognize that the moral center of the party
within the base of support is on the side of the Palestinians.
Yep, it's absolutely right. Hassan, thank you so much for coming on and all the other
candidates here. You can, Oliver Larkin, Harso Gray, and Kasim Rashid, obviously,

progress.win slash rally you can help contribute there thanks to all the
phenomenal candidates and of course the number one terrorist supporter in the
country Hassan piker academic once again everybody leave me off your

Bye guys. Bye. Thank you.
That was fantastic. All right.
What is this? Dr. Goelani Jihad, MD at your service. You're so stupid.
Yeah, that was cool. That was cool. That was good people's, good people's.
All right, we're going to get back to you now after six hours and 21 minutes,
situation monitoring, which I haven't been able to monitor the situation adequately with the
closeness that it desperately needs, right? Iran has significantly damaged an E3G aircraft
yesterday. Oh, they got an AWACS one? No way. An aerial early advanced warning, one of those
those radars. In addition to a number of KC-135 Shuttle tankers that suffered
various levels of damage in yesterday's Iranian ballistic missile and drone attack
on Prince Salt and Air Base in Saudi Arabia, US Air Force, E3G, Century Airborne,
early warning and control aircraft also suffered significant damage in the
attack. These are behemoths by the way, they're very expensive and they are
playing a very important role in American surveillance capabilities in
the region, especially at a time when, hold on, am I still in this room? I'm not, right?
Okay. I think I'm good. I think I'm out of it. Okay. Sorry. I'm just making sure. They
play a very important role in American radar capabilities, American surveillance capabilities
in the region, okay? Yeah, losing an AWACS is, you know, there's not that many of them.
So, impressive how you go through all this. The US Air Force operates 16 E3Gs with around
40% of aircraft currently deployed to the Middle East for operation Epic Fury. Epic
fortnight fail um production lines for the e3s were ceased in the 1990s while the first airframe
was tired in 2023 in preparation for the e3s to be replaced by the e7 wedge tail in 2027 however in
june 2035 the pentagon on us a cancellation of the e7 in favor of space based solutions
including the proposed golden dome and the e2d advanced hawkeye this is true
It runs
It runs throwing rocks at billion dollar planes. We're still here. That's the actual deterrent. I mean, it's true
I don't know if that person is saying that as a positive like or is a pro-Iranian side or not
Okay
But it's kind of funny, but like low-key they are just straight up lobbing rocks at
At you know hundred million dollar plays this shit, and they're they're booming them
They're booming them speaking of drones interesting new tactic
What is this intercepted Ukraine darts recon drone by impaling the battery pack and causing a meteor fire
Dude, this is Russia Ukraine shit. They're awesome. They're on a different playing field
bro is throwing flying kubi days man that entire plant program cost 22 billion
they got 72 planes out of that 300 million per what is this massive ryan
drone attack ongoing in northern Iraq this evening with new mason
I just got back from the World Burn Down, no.
But I went to a protest, I went to the, I went to the No Kings protests in New York City.
where I was at for those of you who weren't here earlier and it was devastating it was devastating
to watch so many people come out and and say I disavow you I think you're a danger you're dangerous
and it's semi I think we should give more money to Israel it was truly I mean I guess I guess I
was wrong you know I learned that I was just wrong my worldview was wrong it was opposed vehemently
It was opposed so perfectly, so absolutely by, you know, people in the heart of the party.
Very clearly, they said, Hasan, we want more billionaires, please. Yeah, I try my best. I
realize, you know, we want more billionaires, they kept saying we want what we want is to
make sure that we subsidize billionaires. What we want is to make sure we don't get
any of our productive output back. You have people lining up to meet you? Okay, so you see
that's also a mistake. You think that they were lining up to meet me? They were lining up to
meet me, to say to me, we want to disvalue. You are not sufficiently pro-Israel. That's
That's what they kept saying.
So you must have, wait, are you serious?
Bro, there's always one guy that's just like,
maybe a little too autistic, you know what I mean?
Every time I lay it out, I'm so fucking thick.
Like every time I say unbelievably sarcastic things
that are just like impossible to believe
there's gonna be a guy that's like, what?
What?
What the fuck? No, man, I'm fucking joking. That's crazy.
ADO Jonathan Grimvile demands Democrats disavow all no-kings process for marching with a Sompiker.
Imagine they believe the Emma Vigelin condemnation too.
I mean, there's probably some people who do that, like, they're like, yeah, guy who's
like a fan of both me and Emma Vigelin who's like now a little bit confused because they're
like, oh, I really appreciate both of these people.
But I guess she had to do what she had to do, you know.
This is the biggest tragedy of the day.
Clevicular didn't instigate the fight between the women.
He is autistic.
Sources.
I wish I had a foe.
I wish I could have tossed a foe in here.
This is a foe moment.
Westchester Dems just made a post denouncing you after meeting Effie. They did
It's got is so fucking funny like at a certain point you got to ask like who is this for right
here. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, you want to see this clip here, a random old lady interrupted
the song scene interview the no kings protest and called up democrats were not
doing enough
You're also in CNN now.
I know I was in there.
Love you too.
Thank you for being here.
Why did you show up today?
Why did you come here today?
Because I think it's important.
OK.
Do you think there's a Democratic Party meeting
in the moment?
No.
I was about to ask the same question.
You don't think so?
The Democratic Party is meeting the moment?
Yeah.
No.
How do you like Zoran Mungani?
I love him.
That's all.
didn't even fucking skip a beat.
Boom, I love him.
Boom.
Awesome.
Hell yeah.
Nice to meet you.
Okay.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you.
No, no, no.
I did what?
No.
No, no, no.
It's not my secret from my office.
Sure.
He's a huge fan.
All right.
not
Twitch is a website twitch thankful for making the poster boy a few uh years ago
Bitch the way they treat me nowadays. I should be literally telling them on my youtube streamer. Okay
I should be telling I should be telling anybody who asked me what I do for a living. I'm like, I'm just a youtube streamer, you know
I
That's the mom you ban probably no
She doesn't know your name. She'll never find you online dog. I don't think she's gonna find me online. Okay?
Actually, that's not even true
I think she will find me online because there's so many people have already seen this clip this clip is going super viral
Look at this. It already has like 19 K
in in like, you know three hours
So, it's someone from her immediate family. She is a queen. Show the snub, show the snub. She don't got internet. Yeah, she is a queen.
Yeah, we got to get this on my TikTok.
What is this new word? Is it the towers?
Going up the girls and saying damn you're like by yourself maxing might be the new
start looking right away
Damn you're like by yourself maxing I feel bad
That's crazy, bro. They'll put this man in jail. Keep this man in jail
Keep this man in prison, bro. Super max
Super max
God damn what the fuck is this poly market funded bullshit? Yeah, bro, because I said
because I said no to their money one time that he never let it go.
They never let that shit go.
Um, yeah, this is the strongest, most valid, the digital media flank of the damn coalition right
right now and the only one reaching regaining the trust
of young and disillusioned voters,
centrists and Zionists can fight it as hard as they want,
just like there's Zoran, but the reality isn't changing.
Yep.
I'd also note that online consumers now
are much more attuned to coordinated narrative campaigns
than in the past.
When a bunch of people all push similar language
in the same two-day period is obvious.
And again, like Zoran,
can often yield the opposite of its intended effect.
I think that's what it is.
That's what's going on.
Like the amount of the amount of yelling about what I represent would have been unbearable a couple years ago
it would have destroyed me you know now they should just wash his over me like it's nothing
it was so nice meeting you there were so many people crowding around to say hi
I had to remind myself as Han is in fact very famous and that's just my close personal friend
That only me and my three friends know
That's so funny
Establishment Dems think they don't have a worse approval than Trump bro. They're living in la la motherfucking land
Yeah, also more to the point all these guys are feigning outrage about pikers 9-11 comments
Well, they go on bill mars bill mar who is famous above all else for praising the 9-11 hijackers
Yeah, but now he's Islamophobic and pro-Israel so it doesn't matter. That's the whole point, right?
After the virtual event compared to the Dems new faces late. No, I don't want to see that
I don't want to see that I don't want to see that it's gonna bum me out. It's gonna fuck me up. I don't want to see that shit
All right
Which is there for you right? If you'll come home you've got a
You know turn the whole thing around services if you can stop at a gas station in the sky
high, plug in, gas and go, and then go on again, you can do three or four trips on one
sortie, and therefore that's why they call it a force of nature.
Now, the...
I have to skip this, the...
A significant escalation in a region already on high alert.
The Yemeni armed forces with the help and the grace of God Almighty has done its first
military attacks with the barrage of ballistic missiles against sensitive military targets
in the south of occupied Palestine.
And without attack, Yemen's Houthis entered the war, making this Israel's third active
front.
The Israeli army says air defenses intercepted one missile before it reached Israeli territory.
It comes as domestic tensions are emerging.
Israeli military officials are pushing back against the government's strategy in southern
Lebanon.
More troops have been deployed to expand what it calls a buffer zone, pushing deeper
into Lebanon.
reports suggest the army's chief of staff is concerned by the continued exemption of
ultra-orthodox Israelis from conscription.
In Israel, the Houthi's decision to join the battle is seen as a retaliation to strikes
on Iranian nuclear facilities and an attempt to strengthen it.
West Chester resident, I haven't seen any posts condemning FEME meeting with you.
I'm sure it'll come eventually, but I'm not sure what the other chatters saw.
position in indirect talks with the U.S. to end the war.
It's also a message from the Yemeni group, an Iranian ally, to Washington.
With exports through the Strait of Hormuz largely blocked, maritime traffic in the Red
Sea could be next.
The Babelman-Deb state, an important commercial shipping route, is also used by U.S. carriers
to reinforce its military presence in the region.
The Houthis have disrupted shipping before attacking vessels on the Red Sea during Israel's
war on Gaza.
It's no secret that any escalation to prolong the war serves Israel's political and military
goals.
Prime Minister
Are the ultra orthodox being exempt more like Mormons or Quakers in terms of numbers?
It is the fastest growing and perhaps the only growing population center, like the
only growing demographic in Israel. And yes, they get religious exemption and it's really
funny. And it's a major point of contention in Israel, major point of contention in Israel.
Benjamin Netanyahu has been careful not to defy the US president, but he has repeatedly stated
that. Yeah, I don't think that he's been careful of not doing that at all. I think he's been
doing that let's be real you know Israel would totally dismantle not just
Iran's nuclear facilities but it's Mormons have no doctrinal belief in
avoiding service what the fuck yeah I don't know why I think that shatter
meant Amish or Quakers maybe like because I don't think Mormons refuse to serve
in the military ballistic missile program and even its military and
And these Israeli goals do not appear to be aligned with those of the US.
A potential end of the war, or even a ceasefire, is concerning to many in Israel.
And that's why Israel is expected to keep trying to jeopardize any diplomatic progress
and push for further escalation.
Nidda Ibrahim Al-Jazeera, Ramallah, Palestine.
Jawad Abu Nasser, back in the arms of his mother, Wah.
Yeah, I'm gonna skip this. I don't want to watch this. It's so it's too devastating
We've already covered this
But it's very interesting that sky news and Channel 4 is now covering it as well
I've already covered it I'm not gonna cover it again, but I'm glad that that Western media is picking the story up and covering it
It's a unbelievable and yet
ongoing and and fairly commonplace form of
of torture. I mean it's just like expected from Israel if there's one
country that you would expect this from is definitely Israel.
As a French Communist it's with the grain of salt that I realize that the
only internationalism that I witness is us watching the three Mondial
all capitals war takes shape, courage camarades.
Rifles aim directly at us, Israeli soldiers order us to the ground.
Producer Abir Salman, I d-
Mormons are highly sought after in the FBI CIA. Yeah
Um
They they speak multiple languages. Usually they travel the world
They're very disciplined. It's just it's it makes sense
What is this?
Apologies are not enough. There needs to be clear accountability 99.9 of time. There's your accountability. I mean fucking barack harveyed
uh doing
I guess uh
Consciousness PR here the soldiers conduct a statement in this innocent incident do not represent the idea of going against what is expected?
The idea of soldiers to be investigated in real time after receiving the reward in this that we acted the resolve the issue asap fuck you
Yeah, it's because it was on Western news man, and by the way
What a fuck what a big fuck you to everybody else that like the this is the amount of power
that Western media has especially now because Israel's so fucking weak that they can literally
They can whip up a real PR crisis a worthy
This is about the CNN attack
Wait, well, oh, this is something different. It's not about the torture. This is wait. What happened? Oh
It's about this
Oh
Oh
I thought it was about the baby torture. Oh my god. Oh my mistake my mistake. They didn't actually fucking apologize for the baby torture
It's this Jeremy diamond guy attack is colleague got a text identifies us as journalists before translating the soldiers commands
So the soldiers just immediately came up and started pointing their weapons directly at us telling everyone to sit down immediately.
Obviously we're not posing any threat here.
The commander comes straight for our camera and within seconds...
A soldier has just put photojournalist Cyril Theophilus in a chokehold, forcing him to the ground.
Yeah, I mixed up the human rights violations a classic mistake
It's a classic classic mistake with Israel because they do so much so frequently
With impunity it's like it's like tough
It's tough to figure out exactly which human rights violation that are apologizing for it's already a unique incident when they do apologize for it at all
The soldier who assaulted theophilus continues to demand he turn off his camera for another smacks my phone
We've come to the West Bank village of Tiasia where Israeli settlers have established an outpost
considered illegal even under Israeli law. And yet here, dude, I mean, this is like they've
gone up the escalation ladder, right? Like they've killed hundreds of Palestinian journalists
in the eyes of the Western world and even the Western press. It means nothing. Let's be real.
they don't consider, like they're animals, right?
And they don't even fucking consider Palestinian journalists
to be their colleagues, let alone human beings with lives.
Okay, so now with all this impunity,
with this lack of accountability,
of course these fucking dickheads are gonna start
going after ground-looking CNN journalists too.
obviously they would have to apologize right this is CNN not a smaller news
small-time news arm and nikski shut your bitch ass up okay yes they did apologize
for it and also they should not do it to anybody they assassinated reporters in
south Lebanon and then said their Hezbollah affiliate media it's fucking
insane Israel carried out a targeted strike on a vehicle in the southern
town of Jezine, killing Ali Shoheb, correspondent for Al-Manar, one of the most prominent and
widely followed reporters covering the south, and Fatima Fattuni, reporter for Al-Mayadeen,
along with their brother photojournalist, Muhammad Fattuni, and Shoheb's son.
Shoheb was widely regarded as the voice of southern Lebanon, with his reporting and telegram
updates relied on real-time coverage of the war.
Fattuni was prominent on the ground correspondent, who just before the war confronted Lebanon's
Prime Minister warning that her family in the south was under constant threat.
Brothers who just killed last month before she herself was assassinated in
the strike. They also literally posted the video of them striking.
They openly said that they were targeting them again.
Been able. They don't care.
They'll never stop. Why would they stop? Why would they fucking stop? Who's gonna stop
them? If we're not gonna stop them, why would they do it?
Yeah, here's an idea of justification for why they killed the three journalists. They don't
even bother to explain the other two. The terrorist al-Shuaib worked to incite against
the defense army forces and citizens of the state of Israel using his platform as a means
to disseminate propaganda materials for his below and during operation roaring a line as
well he continued to act, he continued his activity and reported on the location of the
defense army force operating in southern Lebanon.
Israel's openly admitting that they killed him for reporting.
It's truly, it's truly insane.
the soldiers stand idly by.
Soldiers detain us too and walk us back to our vehicle.
They say they're trying to establish order between settlers
and Palestinians.
But as the cameras keep rolling, it becomes clear
these soldiers are here in service of the settler movement.
If we go to our place here, if I want, it's your place.
The place where you live, the place where you live.
All the Jews in Somron, it's our place.
It's not the place where you live, it's the place where you live.
In Taysir, settlers took the land at the expense of 75-year-old Abdullah the Rahme.
His breathing is labor, his face, bloodied, bruised and swollen.
Bones broken.
His family and multiple eyewitnesses say the settlers stormed into his home in the middle of the night and beat him to a pulp.
I didn't expect this, Abdullah Sun says. This is not normal.
You had opportunities to distance yourself and your administration from arming Israel, which has committed what leading Holocaust scholars and human rights agencies call a genocide.
a genocide. You rejected them and continued arming Israel. This is your legacy. How do
you justify to the countless Palestinians, including thousands of children that died from
your decisions? And just to share the point, I'm going to read off the names of children
who died in Gaza due to the actions. So these are people who are one year old, killed
before they could take the first steps. Ayla Ali Obeyed, Salahuddin Abu Layla, Adam,
Shaga one years old jout and it goes on thousands and thousands of names um how do you reconcile
with this and how do you reconcile with your legacy so as we were talking about before this
is something that I grappled with and will continue to grapple with dude what a victim
dude. What a victim. It's just really tough for him, dude. You know, he grappled with it.
It was tough, tough decisions were made. For as long as I can see into the future, could
we, should we have done things differently such that the suffering that people endured
the loss of the children that you just listed and so many others could have been averted.
And the short answer is, maybe yes.
You couldn't be, and I wouldn't be human if I didn't ask myself every day.
Could we have done things differently?
The one thing I want to suggest to you as well, and I mentioned this earlier, is
I believe in, look, maybe I'm wrong, that the nature of the trauma in Israel,
which is, there's no hierarchy of trauma.
trauma in Israel the trauma among Palestinians oh my god dude what trauma in
Israel they feel bad about fucking doing genocide didn't even feel bad yet they
haven't even done the fucking oh it's bringing a tear to my eye that we kill
so many children shit yet the fuck do you mean the trauma in Israel what are
these people talking about man this should makes me so angry holy fuck
Oh my god, he's doing the but what about October 7 in 2026?
Israel has done thousands of October 7 at this point. What the fuck are you talking about?
The same the loss of a Palestinian life the loss of Israeli life the same
But on the Israeli side the trauma was such that I believe the determination across that society
to take the actions that they took in Gaza was such that irrespective of what we did,
they would have continued to do what they did. And cutting off arms, sure, that was an option,
but I don't actually believe that, at least in the near term, it would have changed things,
and I also believe it would have led to an even wider war as Israel's enemies,
and they were multiple, jumped in and that only would have extended the war in Gaza,
not ended the war in Gaza. I fully, more than respect, I empathize with people who felt this so
deeply. I do remain with a question in my mind about why barely a word was spoken in all those
months about Hamas, which was an actor too, and is responsible for so much of what happened. But
yes, we all look at it. I certainly look at and say maybe we could have done differently,
maybe we could have done better by the people. I wish we could have.
What do you mean as a speed sponsor of terrorism? How do you define?
Oh, yeah, majority report cooking.
Emma, a majority report cooking on CNN. And is literally the number one is Iran
long-committing genocide in Gaza right now, like the Israeli government has, which dragged
us into this war, which every president, every president, prior.
The 47-year-old Iranians have killed Americans and our allies across this world.
They're trying to obtain nuclear weapons so they can annihilate Israel and potentially
capitals in Europe.
There's no evidence of that.
The JCPOA was actually a successful deal that Obama negotiated.
I find it appalling that you're an Iranian apologist.
I can do that call on Israel's genocide and then everybody swarms.
This is about a regional conflict that's spiraling out of control that the president
is adding to.
But you stated that there's no evidence that Iran wants nuclear weapons.
They lied.
They buried something in the mountains.
They just did.
They both have said since 2003 that they should not be created a nuclear weapon.
They lied to the United Nations.
They lied to the international.
the Ayatollah, the older father who was actually against building a nuclear weapon because he thought that it was going to contribute here.
I'm genuinely shocked that you are defending the Iranians and I gotta tell you, I hope that you took yourself in at night under that pillow of lies.
Pillow of lies. Also, I'm genuinely shocked that you're defending Iranians. Like, yeah, it turns out some people have a fucking conscience, man.
Like, what the hell's wrong with you?
it's crazy
like the audacity the audacity of the like someone on fucking CNN being like
um like how dare you like the assumption that like everyone else is going to be in the on the same wavelength
You know why I said you just told about the
A crock of a word I can't say a national
Again look look this is the beauty of American civility, right?
The beauty of American civility on the one hand. He can't say crock of shit on television
But on the other hand he has no problem
No problems whatsoever just being like, yeah, Iranians deserve death. How dare you defend them?
I've always loved that that insane that insane double standard, you know
Like thank you so much thanks over to Nassim Krasch it
it. Perhaps we should also have some restrictions on, I don't know, being a genocidal psychopath.
Being a government that an Israeli human rights group, that Salem says is committing
genocide as is Amnesty International, as is every credible human rights group right
now. There's a massacre in Gaza. There are hundreds of thousands of people unaccounted
for under rubble. That's what I define as terrorism. Now Iran is now exerting
their leverage over the strain of more moves.
Disagree with your personal description of what terrorism is, and I'm sorry, does it
meet the...
I mean, killing civilians is what I defined it as.
As a diplomat.
Some have called you China's Nostradamus.
You had three famous predictions in 2024 that Trump would get elected, that he would
start a war with Iran, and that he would lose a war with Iran.
I think the next step- Oh my god, is there a full one of this?
I have to watch this shit.
Professor Jung?
Ain't no fucking way, big dog.
Professor Jung with Mehdi?
Mehdi coming after my goat?
Hello?
Hello?
That's fucked up.
Mehdi?
You come at the King, you best not miss.
Professor Chiang, my beloved.
I've seen a lot of naysayers in the chat, a lot of people who are calling into question
the undisputed goat.
Professor Chiang.
Some of you are not ready for it, it seems.
Some of you are not ready for the truth, it seems.
You know?
It's fine, bro.
One day, one day you'll recognize, one day you'll learn.
Professor 2016 Gray replacement, he's so funny.
Everything he says is so funny.
Full version here.
Wait, it's only four minutes?
What the fuck?
You have three famous predictions in 2024 that Trump would get elected,
that he would start a war with Iran, and that he would lose a war with Iran.
Iran clearly has the strategic advantage.
I think the next step in this case matter is that Trump will sit in ground forces.
Nikki Haley was keen to your prediction about Iran.
You said Trump would pick her as his running mate, but he didn't pick her.
I think that the problem with education is that it focuses too much on facts,
too much on rigor, and not enough money machinations.
facts do you hear yourself just trying to control what you say now the critics might say they're using you as a
Propaganda it is possible. I'm a useful idiot and I suspect that there are many entities around the world who would like to imply my message
Including trying to go away. Hold on. Hold on. You don't call yourself professor. Yeah, I'm on your YouTube channel
I do now, but when I first started out if you go way back to my
I don't know when you first started out you do call yourself professor. Yeah, and you're not a professor
What is your big prediction now for 2026? We'll see what happens. Hey, test it out the entity
Bro, Menti's been a hatin' ass bitch, bro!
Yo!
Yo, what the hell?
I'm actually very glad that someone with fucking,
I mean, Menti is obviously very good at this stuff.
But he's also very smart.
Glad that he's finally doing interviews with someone
with a working brain.
I mean,
bro, someone in the chat literally said, wait a minute, he's not a professor.
Hey, no way.
Ain't no way you thought he was an actual professor, bro.
Open the schools.
Open the schools.
Back in 2024, Chinese Canadian educator
Shuiqin Jiang posted a video on his YouTube channel, Predictive History,
where he laid out three big predictions.
Donald Trump would win the 2024 election.
The US would then go to war with Iran.
And ultimately, the US would lose that war.
Since then, the self-styled professor
who says he uses game theory to analyze the past
and predict future geopolitical events
has become an internet sensation.
And has even been dubbed China's Nostradamus.
But he's also faced some criticisms
over his predictions and many would say,
pretty out there conspiracy theories.
Two out of three of Jiang's big predictions have come true.
But how much of that is his own geopolitical foresight, and how much of it simply comes
down to luck?
How much does the Chinese government control or even influence what he says, what he predicts?
I decided to not just speak to Shui Qin Jiang, aka Professor Jiang, about Iran and the
state of the world, but also to challenge him a bit.
Here's our interview.
Shui Qin Jiang, thank you so much for joining me on Zeteo.
You have said you use game theory to predict future geopolitical events.
Hey, that's bitch.
Now I'm just kidding.
Oh, Mehdi.
He cooked his ass.
Mehdi is the worst person for an unstoppable force like me with like a professor Chiang.
OK, literally could not could not have faced a worse person.
if your goal is to do propaganda and or you know have have an audience of easily fooled individuals
and talk to a person that's just like not going to call into question what you're up to
definitely you know he was doing all these like sneaker interviews and stuff like he was cooking right
right? Matthew is gonna obviously put belt the ass here.
You've never heard of game three. Please do explain what it is and how it helps you explain what's happening with Donald Trump and with Iran in
Right. So game theory applied to geopolitics means that we see each individual nation state as a player in a zero-sum game to maximize its individual interest.
And so each player would have its own characteristics, its own strengths, and it would adopt an utmost strategy in order to win the zero-sum game.
So how does that apply in the Middle East right now?
Right, so the United States is attacking Iran and these two nation states have different
strengths and weaknesses.
So America has the world's greatest military, it has Euro supremacy, it has tremendous
technology, it has unlimited funding.
And so Iran is adopting it.
bro. I just realized he doesn't have his whiteboard. That's why he lost this battle. My goat didn't
have his whiteboard. It's fucked up. Matthew, put the whiteboard behind him. You got him
I'm on a handicap, man.
That's fucked up.
Y'all seeing this?
Not my professor, John.
Matthew should put the full video on YouTube.
Honestly, it would do LeBron numbers.
Instead of keeping him behind the paywall.
He didn't lose, he predicted he would tactically lose the battle.
He's a kinetic thinker.
The A7 tool strategy of holding the global economy hostage, meaning that rather than
attacking the United States directly, which you cannot defeat directly, it is instead
controlling the struggle for moves, which is strangling the global economy, and it's
attacking the GCC nations, infrastructure of the GCC nations in order to force Trump into the negotiating table.
I don't understand how this is game theory, by the way.
Like, is that game theory?
So, that is the atemical warfare of Iran.
You've also predicted that the U.S., you had three famous predictions in 2024 that Trump
would get elected, that he would start a war with Iran, and that he would lose a war with
Iran.
Based on what you've seen over the past month, do you still stand by that prediction?
Yes, I do.
I think that after a month, I think that Iran clearly has the strategic advantage.
What I mean by that is that Iran is very clearly able to articulate its military objectives
and has a very clear strategy of how to obtain these military objectives.
And it is working very hard and very meticulously to obtain these objectives.
This is the opposite of America where Trump has-
So I predicted this too and I'm not famous.
Yeah, that's kind of the point.
That's why it's like really funny that people are like, this is the most brilliant guy
of all time.
I mean it is fair to say that if he predicted in 2024 that like Trump was gonna win, which you know,
many people also predicted. And that he would go to war with Iran and then he would lose that war.
That's pretty solid. I don't know if he predicted that through game theory because I don't think
he knows what game theory actually means. Kind of feels to me like he was just throwing,
you know throwing shit at the wall and this one's stuck but everything that he's talking about past
that point everything he's talking about past that point is just like pretty basic stuff
fail to articulate an end goal. And right now it seems that the administration, the Trump administration
is unable to articulate both a strategy and a purpose to the American public, which is causing
Um, most Americans not support this war. It's also causing low soldier morale among the American forces
What do you think happens next if flash when Iran wins?
Damn if you give us a taste bro
He gives a fucking taste
The people need to look the people need to predict
In this case neither is that Trump will sit in Iran forces Nikki Haley was key to your
prediction about Iran you said Trump would pick her as his running mate but he didn't
I think that the problem with education is that it focuses too much on facts too much on rigor and I'm not
Problem education focuses too much on facts is a bar
Y'all are literally not spiritually or physically ready
Y'all could not predict that history man
Average young listener?
I've got more than lots of evidence to back this up is you who's fault fault for propaganda
Or you could be CIA massage agent for what I know now wake the fuck up your research is a good time to do it
I will say more to you
Some this professor John does not say
These people from secret societies are not those in real power. They all serve alien entities who truly control this world.
It's so funny. I think it's a testament to how much Chinese self power has developed around the world without trying to literally doing much for it to be fair.
it to be fair that like you can have a random Chinese guy and so many guys are just like wow
this guy's fucking brilliant dude like zero qualifications he's got a whiteboard and he's
Chinese and motherfuckers are like well this guy has ancient wisdom i love it respect
Professor John my beloved
You talk about this pretty far right concept of packed Judaica a new world order centered
around Israel surely you understand why a lot of people think it best your trafficking
pretty anti-Semitic tropes and at worst you're
Bro
He didn't even talk about my favorite
Pax islamica
You can't carry anti-Semite. Sorry. Sorry. What what is wrong with the term pasti dea car?
You tell me just trying to control what you say now your critics might say they're using you
as a propagandist.
It is possible, I'm a useful idiot.
And I suspect that there are many entities around the world
who like to imply my message, including China's government.
Hold on, hold on.
You don't call yourself Professor Jiang
on your YouTube channel.
I do now, but when I first started out,
you go way back to my early lectures.
It doesn't matter when you first started out.
You do call yourself Professor Jiang
and you're not a professor.
What is your big prediction now for 2026?
We'll see what happens.
We can test it out at the end of the year.
I think if you or I were playing a rand's hand we would not want to end the war wait
It's not first of all. I'm sorry to show you someone who's fraudulent
utterly devoid of
the pedigree and
Perhaps even more devastating the the whiteboard
This is fake phony professor
Professor, Professor, not John. Okay. As I like to call every other professor. This
is another professor, not John.
The longer the war goes on, the worse it is for the United States and for Israel.
So if you're the Iranians facing an existential threat, you're now in a war and you're doing
very well in that war.
You're inflicting great pain on the international economy, which is another way of saying you're
inflicting great pain on the United States.
You're destroying American military bases in the region.
You're inflicting pain not only on the Gulf States themselves, but on Israel as well.
Why would you quit?
Why not just keep going?
Inflate more and more pain.
Make the Americans and the Israelis increasingly desperate.
That would be the smart thing to do, I think, if you're playing Iran's hand.
It's not narrowing just for sure, certainly not in President Trump's interest.
But from their point of view, given all the leverage they now have in the fact that they
get more leverage as the war goes on, I wouldn't quantify with them.
The No Kings demonstration taking over Midtown Manhattan, some people told us why they're
here today.
There's a lot of animosity towards this administration.
And I think people feel a little rudderless, so events like this bring a coalition of people
that have maybe some shared resentment, but also key issues that they care about.
I'm here because I can't express how much I hate Donald Trump, and I think that he's
just ruining our country.
Demonization of internal enemies, glorification of violence and cruelty, appeals to a mythical
past in racial superiority, intolerance of dissent, and unquestioned allegiance to the
leader.
What are you talking about?
Hmm, let me think.
Our president.
I've studied history.
We've never had a leader that was so indifferent and so immoral to the concerns of the average
person.
We have to show out as we're doing today in record numbers to say this is not okay
with us.
I think a lot of people are just really angry.
I mean, they're angry at the economy.
They're angry at the Epsteinfile cover-up.
They're angry that we're at war right now and Donald Trump is golfing.
It's a betrayal of the American people.
This is not a war.
This is not an award.
Oh my God.
I absolutely support the president of the United States of America.
I'm at CPAC in Dallas.
It's the biggest conservative conference in.
What can finally do some real goddamn American patriot bro.
Hell yeah.
I
Saw Harry's son over there. I've almost lost my mind, you know
How dare you show me Harry's a song I
Need to see ten Patriots. We haven't even done enough CPAC shit because like
Bro, CPAC, this year has been less motion than even the years prior.
Trump didn't even attend it.
No Tucker Carlson, none of the major MAGA heads, just pure freak show.
Like it's literally the Michael Pillow Coalition.
The country and lots of people here are talking about the war in Iran.
Trump is not speaking at this event this year, but in the past when he has spoken here, he's
talked a lot about not starting new wars.
When it comes to Iran, how do you feel about that?
I'm not happy.
I'm not happy at all.
I mean, President Trump ran on no new wars.
I feel like we've been opted into a war that shouldn't be ours.
It should be Israel's.
We want to say, Mr. President, thank you.
Thank you for helping Iranian people.
What do you think of the war with Iran at the moment?
Unfortunately, I think it's necessary.
You do?
Yes, and he's the only president that had the backbone to take it on.
Do you believe that Israel forced the U.S. into this war?
Absolutely not.
Well, Brace was saying that every corner, there is a Persian yelling about a Mr. President
Trump. Thank you. Literally, in every fucking corner and see back, it was just like occupy
It was Persian, it was Pog, Persian occupied government.
Donald Trump does what Donald Trump wants to do.
I don't think Trump is really controlled by anybody as much as everyone would like
to control him. But I do question some of the things
comes to are we just going to bend over everything for Israel, you know, what do you say to some
Republican people who say, well, this is Israel's war. It shouldn't be America's war.
Dude,
by the way, I look you get why Israel doesn't give a fuck about anti-Semites.
And not even awesome, like, oh, it scares Jewish people into like moving to Israel.
like they are like right wing anti-Semites who claim to be anti-Israel are such fucking cattle
that like you hear the guy like in his voice he wants to say like Jews control this country why
would you do this to me mr president that's his mentality but he can't even fucking identify it and
like communicate it right because he's a victim like these guys can't even do anti-Israel like
like they can't even do anti-Semitism, right? Okay, joking. But like, kind of true, you know?
So yeah, when you look at that dynamic and you're like, well, we shouldn't really focus too much on
like right-wing anti-Semites because at the end of the day, it's still gonna vote for Trump.
Whereas on the left, if your primary focus is, is real,
There's a fuck ton of real anger there.
That's not so.
Israel is God's people.
Those that bless Israel will be a bless.
Those in curtsy will be Israel.
They better watch out.
Do you feel disappointed in the president?
Sure.
Do you still support him?
I want him to succeed.
I certainly do.
I think it's to be determined on, you know,
if I can remain to support him.
We'll see how the next six months go.
I don't know.
We'll see what happens.
Are you concerned?
The answer is yes, bro.
What are you going to do?
There is nothing more fake than a Trump hog
being like I don't know we'll see like shut up bitch you're gonna vote for him
you're gonna write his name in on elections in the future where his name is
not even on the fucking ballot shut up
bro bro's acting like we don't know what his behavior is
nothing funnier than and nothing funnier to me than a coping hog who's
just like, well, I don't know. Okay, buddy. Sure. Trump could
literally shit on your chest.
Trump could make you eat his dookie. And you still love his
ass. Fuck out of here with this shit. Don't know if I can
vote for him again.
Right.
What? Am I crazy for saying that? Everyone would, huh?
That's the level of worship that these people have.
And that this war drags on.
Absolutely. Absolutely.
We hear the phrase America first. Let's put America first.
And I'm concerned that this isn't putting America first.
Is the United States waging a holy war in Iran?
This is a battle of good versus evil.
evil. God is just exposing everything. I believe we are living in the end times.
Those are the views of some conservative Christians here in Oklahoma, one of
America's reddest states. That message is being amplified at the highest level
by Donald Trump's defense secretary. God bless our troops in this mission.
It's causing alarm among those who worry about the growing influence of
Christian nationalism on U.S. policy.
I don't think the lines have been blurred. I think they've been stomped on.
People are being told that they need to go risk their lives in order to accelerate Armageddon.
Conservative Christians have access to this White House like never before,
a president who regularly hosts evangelical leaders,
and a defense secretary who embraces a combative brand of Christianity.
Blessed be the Lord, my Rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.
Pete Tecsef is now invoking divine purpose to justify American military might in Iran.
Dear gracious God, I need you.
A conflict which some view as a holy war. Is it spotlighting increasingly blurred lines
between church and state?
Give me wisdom, I pray.
In Tulsa, Oklahoma, the man who founded the organization Pastors for Trump is announcing
his run for public office from the pulpit where he preaches.
That sharia law never takes root in this nation ever.
Jackson Leymire supports the war and has spoken about his hope that the gospel will penetrate
a free Iran. It's a message which resonates with his congregation.
I do believe it is almost an Armageddon and that the fact that we do have to stand up for
what's right and what we believe in and they are some awful people over there.
How do you square off the loss of innocent lives?
You're a much better person. Surely.
You know what's really funny?
These people, unironically, were like, well, they're a religious theocracy, like they're
so backwards.
Buddy, look around.
You know?
Like, these people, without even a fucking moment of irony, would turn around and be
like, well, they're a backwards country, they're like, they're run Islamic style.
You know what I mean?
We can't have that.
We can't have the Islamic style government.
They must learn the gospel.
It's perfectly fine.
As someone whose dad serves in the military, I can tell you that it's just a cost.
And unfortunately, it's a sad reality, but they did the right thing.
They stood up and they fought for their country and we can honor that.
And I know that they're sitting with the good Lord right now and his.
Wait, is he talking about the Iranians?
Cause no American soldier that has died
in the last month has died serving,
like they haven't died defending their country.
They died defending Israel.
Hate to do this to you, buddy.
But you're wrong.
It's great racism.
You should support Israel, because God loves Israel.
Israel is the apple of his eye, and that is in the Bible.
Is it a religious school?
Most definitely. Most definitely.
God is just like exposing everything
using everything, using Trump, using other people in this time to expose the evil.
You believe Donald Trump is a conduit for God?
100% we do.
First times that Eric was here at the church, this was me and the president years ago.
In his office, Pastor Lehmire displays pictures with various members of the Trump family who have appeared at the church.
Oh, they're so stupid. It is truly mind-boggling how dumb these people are.
Like they have, they're in the world's most countries on the planet. They got internet everywhere.
They have access to so much information. But they have a medieval peasant style
understanding of the world. How the fuck does that happen?
Like it's we're in a post monarchy world, right?
How do you behave like this?
And for who?
The Trump children?
It is remarkable that there is this much of a cult like understanding for anything.
Like I mean it.
In this day and age, in the information age, it is quite remarkable that people can be
be this delusional and people can be this much in a cult.
Fascinating.
Do you see this war in religious terms?
Well, obviously to the Ayatollah, it was definitely religious terms.
It's in Jihad.
It is to bring about the apocalypse, to usher in their messiah.
You've spoken about the gospel penetrating a free Iran.
Yeah, yeah.
What does that mean?
Well, that's not the job of the United States government.
That's the job of pastors and preachers and evangelists
when that door opens.
And so a free Iran would open the door
for ministries and preachers to go in and share the gospel.
It's a different church on the other side of Tulsa,
an opposing viewpoint.
Come on in.
Rev. Andy Campbell believes the Trump administration is weaponizing Christianity to sell this war
to the public.
If I go to war and I claim that God is on my side, if you oppose me then evidently I must
be Godless.
Okay.
Sorry.
How many photos of Eric Trump do you have, buddy?
Yeah, I said it.
I need to see the photo wall, man.
And I think that's the point of it.
It's easy.
So do you think Pete Hegseth is playing on that, then?
Oh, absolutely.
He wants to take people that he perceives as enemies and make them less than human.
Secretary Hegsef is provoking controversy with his rhetoric and his tattoos.
He has a large Jerusalem cross which dates back to the Christian Crusades and a deus volt
tattoo Latin for God wills it, often used by far right groups.
One of God's mightiest men, our Secretary of War, the Honourable Pete Hegsef.
Hegsef has pushed policy changes that reflect his personal views.
This is a new Christian worship service for employees at the pentagon.
You are here, working in a-
I kill myself.
Come on.
It'll never not be funny, he's literally a alcoholic rapist.
As always, he's like,
pro god guys like we get it bro you you killed people okay I got it like I
understand like just cut it just cut it out just cut it out let's just not do
this you know what I mean I think it's better for everybody involved if like
the the alcoholic rapist guys don't just like pivot to god mode this way
because they're they're so fucking annoying every time dude
There is that very obvious recognition, this underlying recognition, by the way, that like, sorry, if you're one of those guys, you're kind of the dumbest guy around, that even someone like Pete Hagseth could just like manipulate you.
you. Or someone like fucking, what's his face, the British one, the British freak that looked
like Russell Brad, the one that looked like a rapist before we found out he actually was
one, you know?
Don't worry, Christians, Muslims got this version too.
Andricate.
Like, literally.
And I'll be honest, he didn't even try that hard.
And the Ummah was on fire.
They could not believe it. They love...
Muslims love a white boy that could convert, like that reverse to Islam.
I don't take my just say the shahada and they will lose their fucking minds every WhatsApp
group is going to be on fire.
Sorry, I shouldn't have said white Western.
0% white okay first of all that's not true is half white and secondly I mean I
don't know why you got so aggressive about it like you're almost like okay
okay defender of the white race might chill okay you didn't what us whites
don't take ownership over Andrew is that what you're saying like there aren't
enough other like rapist criminals that are white?
And some are alleging an increase in Christian extremism in the armed forces.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation says it's received more than 200 complaints
from members of the military about commanders invoking biblical rhetoric to justify involvement
in the war in Iran.
Some of the more egregious examples here, this one from an active duty military member
who alleges that their commander urged them to tell our troops that this, the war,
is all part of God's divine plan.
Apparently they referenced citations out of the book of Revelation
and the imminent return of Jesus Christ.
Another military member says this poster of Jesus.
What the hell?
Oh my God. Oh my God.
Jesus Christ with the artillery launcher.
Respect.
That's real, man.
That's I see that and I think tough.
That's my Jesus.
Not, that's my Jesus bro.
Chill.
Jesus famously known for deploying mortars.
Firing a mortar round was displayed in their battalion headquarters.
This congressman is calling for the allegations to be investigated by the Department of Defense.
Prophecies are being offered up to justify the war.
People are being told that they need to go risk their lives in order to accelerate Armageddon
and live out these extreme interpretations of Scripture.
The Secretary of Defense is making a concerted effort to godwash this terrible war.
As this pastor begins his campaign for Congress, he insists there is a place for Christianity
in politics.
But some believe the war in Iran is exposing an erosion of the separation between church
and state.
Martha Kalmer, Sky News, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
If you lose what's important.
We are only recently.
We are such a freak-ass country.
Yeah, Jesus demands we bomb Tangerolls and stabilize oil.
I mean, we bombed 10-year-olds so hard that we can't even stabilize oil, like oil was stable.
And then we bombed 10-year-olds and now oil is unstable.
And now our goal is to just go back, go back to day one, you know,
before we killed Ayatollah, before we killed all those little schoolgirls.
I have a good idea. It's called don't fuck around. Why did you do that to begin with?
And now we did it because we're like we have to do it.
Israel demands it. We have to do it.
But now we did it.
And now we're trying to unfuck this situation.
Then we're going to lose the country.
Fight on.
Former Trump strategist Steve Bannon addressed CPAC on Friday at the annual gathering of
conservatives.
We want to know, do conservatives who had so many concerns about the Epstein file have
any reservations about Bannon, whose close personal friendship with Epstein was revealed
by DOJ documents. Turns out many of them didn't.
A lot of people have friendships with Jeffrey Epstein and I think no one's relationship with
Jeffrey Epstein comes close to Steve Bannon. Like, ah, well, there's some. Donald Trump.
Ironically enough. But I guess like from their perspective, they already love Donald
Trump and don't give a shit that Donald Trump was all up Jeffrey Epstein's asshole.
So why should they care?
You know, they're like, okay, go ahead.
Tell me another guy that I liked
that was having sex with Jeffrey Epstein.
I like it.
A lot of people are a little crazy about it all.
I mean, I don't, nobody really knows
what the extent of those relationships were.
maybe was willing to deal with lots of people
on the real world, and I think it was.
A lot of people had close relationships.
You ever have a brother in 2019?
Yeah, maybe she knows a lot of children.
Yeah, have you thought about that?
Unless you know, you don't know.
So I'm not one to jump to conclusions on anybody.
What do you make of him?
Yeah, they're throwing their hands up and like,
well, I guess people aren't just a lot of them
have friends anymore. Wow. I guess people are not allowed to go to a tropical island and
hang out with their buddies. Oh, I'm sorry, you can't have shared interests with friends
and then it's like, okay, what's the shared interest? Oh, having sex with children and
trafficking them internationally. That's, that's not, yeah, you can't do that. Actually,
it turns out that's very, that's super illegal. And as a matter of fact, that guy went
the jail for it. You know, yeah, you can't go for a bit of man have hobbies your way
out of this one. Well, I guess they are don't matter.
It's illegal to be friends with Jews now is it? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's like low
key. The ADL was like, Hey guys, stop calling it the Epstein fury war, because that's
actually very anti-Semitic. We are the premier anti-Semitism institution and we would like
to say Jeffrey Epstein is Jewish. We would like to remind everyone that Jeffrey Epstein
is Jewish and we are associating ourselves to Jeffrey Epstein on the virtues of Judaism.
So please don't say anything about that. Insane. Never seen anything like it. Unbelievable.
next bro you're gonna do a Harvey Weinstein bit too much like Jeffrey Epstein Harvey Weinstein
also Jewish please do not forget this it's like okay what are you Nick Fuentes the ADL is literally
doing Nick Fuentes shit that's like that is unironically what Nick Fuentes does
Yeah, breaking Israeli shelling targeted a police checkpoint in southern Hanyun is in southern Gaza Strip killing six police officers and wounding others according to local reports.
What the fuck?
Oh, God, I miss Professor Jiong.
It's been an hour and a half since I last saw his face.
I miss him.
miss him.
Being here and invited to speak at CPAC, given how prominently his
relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was inert by the Epson files.
I did not know that.
You're telling me I've done my fair share of research, but he did the
Trump, I did not know that you're telling me for the first time.
Ruth Pader Ginsburg has died.
Find that a little interesting and weird that he's able to speak
I think he added a lot to the Republic and the conservative.
Posted by Interview with LV, Westchester County Democratic Committee.
John Staven from New York, CD7 chairs condemning his on-parkers hateful
for the chairs of the Westchester County Democratic Committee.
Oh my God, 9-11-2 is going to be so sick.
Give Saudi Arabia nukes so they can do 9-11-2.
I don't have any patrons. Wait, these are just straight-up fox quotes.
quotes are they so these are they're ripped these are just ripped from fox's
headlines what the fuck oh my god 9-11-2 is gonna be so sick if Saudi Arabia
nukes are they gonna do 9-11-2 yeah like I'm being sarcastic because Donald
Trump wanted to give nukes to Saudi Arabia you fucking idiots that's so
funny that they literally took that as though it's like sincere. You can read the tone.
Like no one has ever said that sincerely. Okay? Unless you're like a fucking plusatus or something.
I don't have any pictures in my heart for America. Yeah, I said I don't have any pictures in my heart
for any country. Repeatedly refer to the juices in bread. It doesn't matter if effing rape
happened on October 7th doesn't change the dynamic for me. Yeah, genocide is not acceptable.
Stating that would be a little bit better. What for men to rape wealthy women? Oh god,
these guys are so insane. Declaring that his favorite flag is the Hezbollah flag.
Referring to Jewish criticism is on his pigs. Parker's also praised U.S. designated terrorist
organizations Hezbollah and Hezbollah. Parker's also praised U.S. designated Hezbollah as
a result of the desert 241 American servicemen. That's a big APAC county. That's where George
Lattimer is from who challenged Bowman. It's fast. Boomers misinterpreting what Zoomers
clearly read as unserious as he means. You're mad Saudis following the doctrine. I mean,
They did 9-11-1s.
I feel bought on Israel.
No, you read as you want in white slash albino supremacy.
Um, yeah, these are these people are insane Westchester's where the cops live
They put you as a top story over every other news story why some Democrats want to shut off a
Sompikar's megaphone popular streamers rise as democratic influence to coincide with parties
long search. I'm so cooked. Do you think the Saudis or Iranians or
Jong Enjoyers? Yeah, I think the Iranians are. That's why
they're doing it.
That's why, um, that's why Iran decided to fight back because they saw the professor
shiang first they were like, yeah, I never said Jewish pig by the way, they're just
fucking lying, but it doesn't there. It's all lies. Who gives
a shit? Whatever. Um, but what I was gonna say is, um, the
Iranians. Okay, this is serious. This is serious analysis.
Okay, it's predictive history time. So the Iranians watch the
professor John video, right? Because that's their favorite
thinker, right? They see him. They love the whiteboard.
They're like, Professor, a professor, John, I am your
favorite. You are my favorite professor. Okay. So then they're
watching. And John's like, okay, Donald Trump is going to become
president. Okay. And they're like, uh huh. Uh huh. And then
Donald Trump's going to wage war with Iran. They're like, Oh, no,
not a professor. John, why you say this? And then he says,
okay, and Iran's going to win the war. And they're like,
Okay. And at first they're like maybe a little skeptical. They're thinking, nah, like, it's
probably not real, but then Donald Trump becomes president. They're like, oh my God, he became
president. Professor John was right. That's why they fucking fought back, because they
knew they would win, because they're committed believers of Professor John. As am I. Yeah.
That's why they were just kind of existing around American bases and so close in proximity
to the state of Israel.
Which is the reason why the war started.
Why do you move your country so close to my bases?
We're gonna have to use them at some point, you know?
Does Jong actually have motion in on it?
I don't fucking know, man.
Why would I have an answer to that?
Also, he had a weird fucking Trump had a weird take on here, too.
Let's listen to this.
Been able to see or hear from any of the Iranian people.
And I imagine that is because there.
Also, if someone found out the videos of his lectures are literally just him talking to
Chinese students learning English the fucking wildest way to learn a language, I love that.
Third way is mocking other people's view counts.
I mean they had 30,000 people watching when I tuned in.
are you complaining about? How many viewers do you have your third way? Oh my god they
have a channel the red zone making your case in Magalan 109 views take five faith by Robert
Rabin 45 views affordability buzzword or breakthrough 66 views
Ain't no fucking way man
Ain't no fucking way
I have more views on my Rainbow Six Siege videos, Lamal.
Internet is shut down, and I think there is some general worry about them.
Obviously their government treats them terribly and killed tens of thousands of them in January.
Do you, again, like Kayleigh,
I would never ask you to tell us something
that is classified, but do you have any insight
as to how they are doing?
Do they have drinking water?
Do they have food?
It's upsetting.
I do, but first, do you remember
when we had lunch years ago in the base of Trump Tower
when it was a brand new building?
A long time ago, yes.
A long time ago, and you haven't changed.
You have not changed.
Now, I'm not allowed to say this
at the end of my political career,
but you may be even better looking, okay?
I've been able to see or hear from any of the Iranian people and I imagine that is because
incredible work man thank you mr. He's horny this morning
only the media gives these guys relevance by boosting their quotes about you I guess
it's because they have money uh third way yeah yeah they don't have a real base they just have
money. But that's all that matters. What do you mean? They have incredibly wealthy donors.
Disturbing how horny he's been lately.
But very much. And I'm asked to take a few questions. And unlike other politicians,
they would like the question screened. I don't ask for screening of the questions.
You can ask me anything you want. You can talk sex. You can
whatever the hell you want I'm here for you someone clapped people clapped for
that I would never want to hear Donald Trump talk about sex that's the last
thing I want to hear him talk about
Yo, what is going on with my boy, dude, Donny?
Is everything good, King?
Why is he so horny?
It's gross to see the president horny to begin with, including Bill Clinton.
But it's also very strange to see this president be horny.
happening. Laura hasn't been topping me off. Laura Loomer she's been in India so I've been
so pent up. So pent up you won't believe it. Hard as a diamond all the time.
Laura Loomer, my free spirit, come back to me.
Come back to me, Laura.
Thank everybody very much.
They got him on some new meds yet.
You think they give him Viagra?
You think that's what it is?
Hassan Piker talks about Donald Trump's penis
being hard as a diamond.
third-way releases statement condemning us on piker
saying donald trump is
has never been hard he's actually very soft
for the last six years or whatever
also believe that
clinton has denied any wrongdoing and mentioned the obscene files is not
indicative of wrongdoing cnn reached out to bannon but is not her back though he
told me at times his relationship to obscene was quote strictly
professional. As opposed to what having sex with him? We fucked only one time, dude, we're friends.
I mean, it's strictly professional. It's just like, I didn't even enjoy it. Now I'm getting horny
like Donald Trump. I'm not horny, but you know, I'm saying horny shit.
2028. Who do you prefer in the Republican primary? JD Vance at 53%, Marco Rubio at 35%.
By the way, the interesting part about that is everybody else is about 2% or less.
And look, I think that CPAC has a strong tradition of letting these folks come here, make their pitch,
that'll happen at all the events we have around America over the coming years.
Mashlabs are rapist by the way.
Here it's going to be a great conversation about how do we keep all of this rolling.
Thank you, thank you. I'm super excited to be here and to be able to speak to you guys today.
And I'm not here to speak on behalf of Republicans nor Democrats. I'm here to speak on behalf of we the people
Hell yeah, they got Nick shit Lee. Oh
My god
First time the crowd is actually listening to someone that they can fully grasp like fully understand no more adult words
Just stick the basics, you know, oh
Oh, dude, he went for 10 minutes, a real impediment.
House members are dropping off the highest rate since the 30s.
So far, 61 house members have decided not to run again, including 39 votes and 22 Democrats.
The GOP exodus is the largest since the 1930s, other than in Trump's first midterm of
the year 2018.
Did you ever lost 40 seats that year?
Ba-ba-ba-ba.
This is ableist making a speech like this? Yeah.
I think nowadays we can all agree that we all just want to live the American dream and have the best life possible.
However, it feels that sometimes, actually a lot of times, non-controversial issues are becoming controversial inside America.
For instance, if you take a look at the idea of deporting illegal migrants,
that word is illegal, that should not be controversial.
Or the idea that showing your ID to vote has become controversial.
What? It's...it hasn't become controversial.
That was a very contentious debate for years.
And it's also not like...it's not a thing that exists everywhere.
everywhere, only because Americans don't have like,
Americans don't have like a unifying identity card
or something like that.
Like they don't have, like in other countries,
everybody gets an ID, okay?
Everybody gets an ID at birth.
You get a driver's license on top of that.
If you get a driver's license to drive a car,
but in most countries,
You get a piece of paper that's your identity, like a federal ID.
We don't have that.
And that's why you can't have voter ID laws.
In the absence of everybody having an ID for free,
you can't really do voter ID laws.
That's not controversial either.
The idea that fraud is bad has become controversial.
How is that controversial?
I know a little bit about fraud.
I know a little bit about Minnesota daycares as well.
And it's crazy to think that we live in-
I think it's really funny to like have to sit there.
You're like a big booster of the Republican Party.
You went to like Yale Law School, right?
And you have to just like sit there
and have to listen to this fucking idiot.
And he's the closing speaker on the first day
of speaking to CPAC.
Like this is the mega celebrity that they brought in.
And you're just like, where's,
how do you not realize your movement is so dead?
Like this country is dead.
You look around that room to your left and your right
and you see all these fucking mouth breathing hogs go,
yeah, that's my Nick Shirley, I watched this video.
Like, we're done, dude.
We are done. We are done.
Every other country is gonna lap us on education.
They already have.
They're lapping us on on quality of life in general
Everything fucking sucks
At least you made your money, but this is an outright hostile country an uninhabitable country to live in
It's not a good country to live in at all anymore. You fucking ruined it. That's why I always say we're the biggest terrorists
Because you are a frog shit boy
Tony two cuts
in a world where somebody who exposes fraud can then be painted as the bad man from the politicians where he exposed the fraud.
Shouldn't they be excited to know that the fraud is being exposed because that's not a Republican dollar or a Democrat dollar, it's actually our dollars.
I've never gotten a dollar bill that says right or red or blue or right or left.
We all...
You don't...
What do you...
What can I say?
What can I say to this?
Like, you don't feel embarrassed?
You don't feel bad about it at all?
You don't think to yourself, like, this is my movement?
What the fuck have I done to this country?
This isn't a moment of recognition for you when you hear this shit.
When you hear this fucking absolute baboon, babelon and you don't realize that there's
something so horrifying about the future of this country and your movement.
Live inside of the same country and we should all want the best for our country.
And when so many rungs down on the ladder of advanced political discourse that we cannot
even compare how to engage with it.
I just, I mean, he's like a child.
He has the brain of a slow child,
like not even like a particularly intelligent child.
A very stupid child.
You see it, fraud inside of our country
taking place at literally rampant levels.
For instance, in Minnesota, there are programs like autism
where you have 10,000% increases in the budget for autism.
And this money then goes into the hands of fraudsters.
How does somebody not look at that and say,
there's a 10,000% increase in the budget for autism?
Is there a 10,000% increase in autistic children
inside of our neighborhoods?
And if the answers know, how are they
justifying a 10,000% increase?
I thought it was Tylenol, man, what the fuck?
I was lied to, it turns out it's not.
I thought it was the Tylenol.
Percent increase in the budget.
And in other instances, like California, where you have a thousand percent increase in hospices,
is everyone going to die in LA?
I don't think so.
So the idea that here inside the United States, when we have these non-controversial issues
that have become controversial,
it puts us into a weird culture war where it puts people into a position to think,
okay, well, wait, how are you supporting this when you're actually not benefiting
We the people we all live inside of the United States are not supposed to be when elected officials elected
They're not supposed to represent 50% of the population
They're supposed to represent 100% of the population in the instance where fraud is taking place inside our country
Each and every single person person should want to crack down on that fraud because if we don't oh my god
It's so weird
Well moment see better audience member fall asleep was hundreds of seas left empty the conference at hundreds of empty seats
the audience seemed in a sleepy mood. Is the crowd cheer for impeachment hearings in awkward moment?
What the fuck?
It's honor we cooked. Yeah, I don't want to watch the rest of this. Let's get it. Thank you for the
50 bones, brother. Um, yeah, I can't do that. That's really bad, man. That's that's unbelievable.
I can't watch that. For you guys to think about is who are the critics? Who are those people
people that are saying that you're the bad person or that what you're doing is not right.
Well, a lot of times it's the media.
A lot of times it's that person who listens to the media where they've lost that idea
of common sense thinking.
And so nowadays the most important thing I feel like for any of us to do is to think,
okay, is the cause I'm fighting for, is it a controversial issue?
Or is it actually non-controversial, but it's an issue that has become controversial
from the critics.
And we cannot ever pander to the critics and we have to keep pursuing a worthy cause because
what we're fighting for is worthy.
America is the greatest country in the world.
Conservatives get on, on, on, on Pasevi, thinking for the hundred gifts ourselves.
What the hell is going on, man?
But the hell yonte is late in the night is 9 p.m. here is 6 p.m. in Los Angeles and we
got people we got big we got big Oilers in the building busting down the doors new Oilers
New names, no one's ever heard before.
It's crazy.
Why are we watching mall pack?
I don't even know what that means.
Conservatives get all bent.
out of shape about an illegal alien drywall or landscape or freeloading off America's

Indiana spot! Thank you for 10 gifted.
Thank you for 10 gifted.
This wide range of very, very eclectic interest, music, Broadway shows, pro-wrestling, football,
every sport, golf, and, you know, and business, and Wall Street, he knows how everybody made
their money and what deals they made, and he tells stories all the time about it, and
she's one after the other.
One time I was during the campaign, I was on the airplane with them, and we were sitting
across the table from each other, eating McDonald's, drinking Diet Coke.
And he started talking about Syria, and he got a placemat, and he turned it on his back,
and then he took a sharpie, and he drew a perfect map of the Mideast, and then he put the troop
strength of every country on every border on that map, and it just challenged a lot
of the assumptions that I had been told about him.
He has this extraordinary depth of knowledge about what's happening in each one of the agencies.
My agency and the others.
And then he has an instinct for making good choices.
Well, I have to say that...
And I would say this.
I think my uncle, John Kennedy, understood the use of power.
the hell another fucking 50 give-the-subs by Emma Ann my song come to
Hawaii please give the 20 give-the-subs
I'm better than any president who's preceding them I think Donald Trump
under Sam Zia's power better than probably any president that we've had
how does one game built an auto tune I think you got like hep C in the throat
from heroin or something? I don't know. I don't know exactly how we got that
throat, but he is a throat goat. A moral direction like you, Ro Khanna, embracing
someone who says Americans are not allowed to be compared to Zionist and neo-Nazis.
A new moral direction is opposing the fuel embargo that's causing black
house and hunger in Cuba. Saying the truth about the genocide in Gaza, not
sending military weapons to kill civilians, Israel opposing Iran war.
America's deeply good and wants to be for human rights.
All these capitals gifting a socialist millions of subs, what the hell, Mao Zedong grandma?
Mousy don would give me a million subs.
Anyway.
The socialism or barbarism be beginning exposed on eggs.
What does that even mean?
Exposed as what?
Is it genocide?
Judy Mcbooty gifted 69 nice gifted subs.
You're with the president.
You go to these cabinet.
The Joe Roganage.
Dave Smith pushed back his pro-Iran War narratives. Joe Roganage is moving.
Nothing left in the tank. What is this? You celebrate a guy who compares you to a neo-Nazi? What?
WAPO Pentagon prepares for weeks of ground-offs. Nice.
Breaking, the Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran.
US officials told Washington Post.
Oh, yeah, a branding car was flexing that they're taking away people's licenses.
Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran.
US officials said,
said, as thousands of American soldiers and Marines
arrive in the Middle East for what could become a dangerous new
phase of the war, should President Donald Trump choose
to escalate, any potential ground operation would fall short
of a full-scale invasion and could instead involve raids
by mixtures of Special Operations Forces and
conventional infantry troops, said the official all spoke
on the condition of anonymity to discuss the highly
sensitive military plans that have been in development
for weeks.
Yeah, when they say weeks, I mean, think about it. There's 52 weeks in a year. 52 times 20, you know.
Just saying.
There's a lot, that's a weird way to say, a multi-year, multi-decade.
multi-year multi-decade military build-up breaking Benny Johnson initially claimed Gavin Newsom is
about the bust oh god and there's and you know the thing is that they called that Hillary's war
she really she was the Secretary of State at the time under Barack Obama but she's really the one
who championed that. And I believe Obama wrote in his book that he was 50-50 and that Hillary
really pushed him to that. And he said, his big regret was that he didn't think about what
came next after Gaddafi. Because I wonder why he didn't think about it.
So now we haven't learned that lesson yet. Like after Iraq, you've never thought of
that.
Listen, but thank God Trump's figured it out.
Oh yeah. That's the... Yeah, Trump's figured it out. We'll go in this drastic
new direction of getting the seventh war that they won.
Don't get pussy-gave.
Jesus Christ.
Christ, did you see that one?
I don't know what military expert was on television.
They said something about we need,
I'm a fan of boots on the ground, like Rome.
Like, hey, fucker, Rome didn't have nuclear weapons
and drones.
Rome didn't have drones that hunt you.
Yeah.
Like we talking about boots on the ground,
should we fight with swords?
Should we get everybody to fight with swords?
Is that what you're saying?
What the fuck are you saying?
Well, also like, what even is the plan
with boots on the ground?
Like, what are you talking about here?
You're going to take an island, it goes okay well then you're going to be a target, you're
going to be target practice as long as the Iranian regime is still standing.
And if you're talking about militarily occupying the country like we did with Iraq or Afghanistan
or something like that, this is a huge country with 92 million people.
How many soldiers do you think you need to occupy that country?
You need a draft.
At least half a million, and probably you can't do it with that.
So what are you talking about?
And so you're saying, are we gonna start a draft
for the least popular war going in in American history?
Because I don't think that's happening.
This is maybe slightly more popular than Vietnam.
Going in, it's less.
I'm sure Vietnam by the end was very, very unpopular.
Well, Vietnam going in didn't make any sense, did it?
I guess the Gulf of Tonkin incident.
Most people in America were like,
why are we doing this?
What's going on?
Drafting people to go to Vietnam. We're fighting communism in Vietnam. Yeah, what well? They called what they called it Vietnam
Syndrome that the American people had which is that we didn't want to fight a war again after that was that that's from their perspective
that's a syndrome and
This is it's really something they think they think by the way Ben Shapiro used the same line called
He said Trump finally broke a rack war syndrome because they think see from Ben Shapiro's perspective
of the illness is after you lie the American people into a war and slaughter a million people.
The illness isn't that.
You might look at that as the bad part, but the bad part is that these annoying Americans
have this tendency to not want to do that again after that.
But he claims Trump has broken Iraq war syndrome.
Of course, there's really no evidence with support of the American people that
has changed at all.
Because the George H.W. Bush was said to have defeated Vietnam War Syndrome in Panama and
in Iraq, because they were relatively easy, bloodless on the American side or very, very
limited injuries and deaths, and they weren't like quagmars that went on forever or whatever.
Of course after the Persian Gulf War in in 92 we went on to be bombing Iraq for
Ever since essentially, you know, I mean for 30 straight years after that discuss soccer now. I'm getting mixed vibes
I mean he's a libertarian, but he's like anti-war
So
He's all right.
I'm so tired.
It's eight hours.
It's 6 p.m. PST.
Tomorrow, I got the Bernard Rally.
I got the Bernard Raleigh and I got the I'm going to be hanging out with on the
Lulia Mejia and I'm so freaking tired a forgot to shout out chat yeah you're
right I did my mistake I'm feeling EP bro uncle so it was a full day a lot of
walking around, a lot of shaking hands, a lot of meeting the
people. And there's probably going to be more of the rally
too. Are you going to be talking at the rally? No, I'm not
going to be talking at the burning rally. That's so funny. I
hope not. I don't think so. No, no, no. This was this was last
second. Imagine Bernie's like Bernie says beast mode. He's
like we got Hassan Pika in the building tonight. Would you like to say a few words? That's not
gonna happen. That'd be funny. Anyway, love you guys and I'll see you tomorrow. Okay. Peace, everybody.
