The left-wing Golden Boy Twitch streamer doesn't even try to hide it.
34-year-old Hassan Piker not only hates America,
he's hinting at a civil war.
A noted far-left influencer is declaring the Republican Party
the biggest terrorist on Earth.
Brett Gideon, Hassan Piker, is unapologetic
for his controversial comments on a range of issues.
An anti-American far-left commentator
who is named Hassan Piker.
Now that he's being highlighted,
Democrats are flocking to him.
He's not out there on Hassan Piker's show,
like for example, right?
The man to his left is a very controversial guy.
Hassan Piker insults just about everyone.
Where if you go back and listen to some of the things
that he says, Carl, this guy's not going to wear well.
Their so-called Joe Rogan of the left, Hassan Piker,
is back in the headlines this time
for calling Republicans terrorists.
Piker has a controversial history,
and we've been showing you this all week.
You don't get somebody like Hassan Piker
this kind of attention, this kind of platform.
It only rewards the kind of rhetoric that I just described.
Hundreds of students lined up and packed into these rallies
and they ate up the anti-war anti-capitalist
and anti-establishment messages.
That's him, the Sompiker.
They should stay away from him.
Huh.
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 Sompiker in this house,
and I'm brought here to come to you live
From sunny and beautiful St. Louis, Missouri, United States of America.
That's right, ladies and gentlemen, I am in St. Louis, St. Louis, for the Americans.
Saint Louis for the French.
St. Louis is a major city in Missouri along the Mississippi River.
It's iconic 630 foot gateway arch built in the 1960s honors the early 90th century
explorations of Lewis and Clark and America's westward expansion in general.
And that's precisely where I'm at today on this beautiful day.
It's May day.
May 1st, 2026, first day of the month of May.
this year has been burning through but we're here regardless we're here nonetheless
I'm suited up I'm booted up and it's a very special day today now you might be thinking oh my god
are you in uh is it a special day because you're in st louis many chatters from st louis
are saying this place sucks dick nothing to celebrate I have a funny story about that
from the airport as well. I'll get into that in a minute. Suit it up, suit it up. You already know,
Zoot Zoot time. Why is it such a special day? Is it a special day? Because it's May Day,
International Workers Day, the real Labor Day, even though we don't necessarily celebrate it here
in the United States of America, regardless of the contributions, the early contributions to
the labor movement. Well, the celebration from my perspective is actually one that ties into
why this is a special day a day that we always celebrate on the house and I'll
be broadcast ladies and gentlemen it's Friday
plus you know we finally here and you already know it's Friday it's freaking
Friday, ladies and gentlemen, May Day on this beautiful Friday, joining the two
reasons why we celebrate Fridays in general. The freaking weekend is upon us,
a liberty that we take for granted that our forefathers fought long and hard
for, ladies and gentlemen. If you like the weekend, thank the union.
Thank the labor movement. If you like the eradication of child labor, thank
Union but we always celebrate on this spectacular event every single Friday
unconditionally because we celebrate the games made by our forefathers who
fought long and hard to ensure to ensure that we have a goddamn weekend
What the hell is this?
Best 4k aquarium, explore the stunning world
of sea jelly fishing and beautiful coral reef fish, okay?
You know what, fuck it.
Fuck it, weebaw.
Well, I'll keep it on that.
Kismet, I guess.
Anyway, it's Friday, the vibes are gonna be immaculate today, uh, regardless.
My fish fuckin' love that.
Your fish love watching the 4k aquarium. They love exploring this stunning world of sea jelly fishing and beautiful coral reef fish.
It's wonderful. Spectacular.
I've been at the Celebration Live by PoliSocialist party today and American contributions were mentioned by one of the party leaders.
Shout out to the American working class. Yeah, shout out to the American working class.
We haven't really been doing a good job as of late, but hey listen, we're gonna bring it back.
back we're bringing it back to the best of our ability okay hold on
blown out again this sunlight is in my face
aquarium comfy music is the vibes that we need right now anyway ladies and
Ladies and gentlemen, boys, girls, and M.B.s, I'm here in St. Louis, Missouri.
Okay, it's a very red area, it's a very red state.
You already know it's an unbelievably, unbelievably red state.
And yet, and yet, I'm very excited to be here.
I'm very excited to spend the day in this beautiful city, in this beautiful state that I've never been to,
Get to see more of the United States of America to see all
of the United States of America.
You got to get emails when you're in St. Louis.
I'll be at the rally later.
Fucking stoked.
That's right.
I'll be doing a rally too, which is crazy.
I don't know what the fuck's wrong with me.
Honestly, I don't know.
I genuinely don't know what the hell is wrong with me.
What am I doing with my life?
Like, what the hell am I doing at St.
Lewis at a rally at a Mayday rally.
I, I do worry a little bit sometimes, but hey, listen, we'll keep that to ourselves.
You know, but in any case, folks, uh, this is part of the broadcast where I tell
you about my personal news.
Now yesterday, um, yesterday I did another rally for canvassers for Chris
rabb in, uh, Philadelphia, right in Pennsylvania.
Some might call it pencil.
Tucky.
I call it Pennsylvania.
I don't disrespect Pennsylvania.
I'm, you know, I'm trying to help people win seats in that beautiful state.
In any case, in any case, fucking dog zapper.
Awesome.
Um, it could be worse.
It could be in L.A.
Fighting LAPD with us, which seems like we'll have a far more
likely tragic outcome today.
Um, maybe I'll be valid.
So let's not be too close.
Thank you.
But, um, anyway, uh, a personal news.
Why is this part of the broadcast where I tell you about my personal
news, but what's going on in the world of a son house and I'd be Piker in
between the time period where I press the stop screen button and press the
start sharing button.
So help me God.
That's what I'm gonna do.
This one's for all the parasocialists out here.
You will probably hate I miss.
It's an acquired taste as quarry for food recommendations.
Okay guys, I don't know if we're gonna be have,
I don't know if we're gonna have all the time.
Okay, that you're,
I didn't know that that was a thing.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Lois on and co, the suit looks good today.
What are the pants looking like?
I got the pleaded
You see me occupants on but I probably won't be wearing this later because I'm realizing that like it's not the vibes
It's a Mayday rally with Corey Bush in St. Louis. I feel like I'm looking far too
Proper, you know, it's not
It's not giving Mayday. I don't think it's the appropriate
Fit for the occasion. I might actually change out of it
but you know I haven't decided yet but I am feeling a little pleaded not
defeated hell yeah go to the bass pro shop pyramid wait is that here
you condemn your previous anti-fusion stand food stands yesterday oh true that's
a big need to toss on the featherman fit yeah okay um you're gonna miss his
weeks for your end gasp no I'm not okay so how about I worry about that Philly
inquirer wrote about your rally ooh nice okay the Philadelphia inquirer wrote
about it so we're gonna do a Philly recap obviously I had Angelo's piece
Saria Philly cheesesteak last night after the rally and
Then I weighed myself this morning, and I thought I will never eat food ever again for the rest of my life
Probably should have probably shouldn't have had that Philly cheesesteak
But I did I did regardless
Shouts out the March for that. He was like well
I went and I got it from Angelos like one of the best Philly cheesesteaks in the world
Whatever one of the best sandwiches in the world really and I was like, you know, I haven't had it in a minute
So I'll do it, you know, because you guys not majority boy at heart. So I've been to Philadelphia quite a bit
I've had Philly cheesesteaks quite a bit, right?
But yeah, that's March's fault for
making me
Eat that well not even making me eat it, but just like reminding me that it exists
and forcing my hand in some respects to go and get it to acquire it but but in any case folks folks folks
shouldn't have weighed yourself yeah I mean I weigh myself with the filly she's like in me still you know what I mean that's like that's the the real problem here but
Yeah, I got the New York Times blast off. Don't worry. I'm going to use that. So, folks,
Bilibili reacting to your fit at the rally yesterday. Oh, nice. Day 151 of that white
Chinese LARP are not returning the bilibili. Damn it, it costs at least 50 on the T-Caft
from the left shoulder to the right shoulder. Really cool. If he's a priest, then I'm so
dazzled by the beauty today. SOS. I think it's because his inherent R is quite strong,
combined with his height, muscles and heavy facial features. So the whole outfit makes
him look grounded, which really suits the vibe of these clothes. Plus, he wears silver
rings that are bright and pop a bit, preventing the look from becoming $2 heavy. He's really
They get a styling and their beards actually look pretty good.
Dude, bili bili, the Chinese netizens, they're, oh my God, keep it up guys.
It would be a bit better with the little waist cinching.
The waist is a bit too wide.
It seems regular Chinese tunics usually don't have a fitted waist.
Black does look a bit like Father Poochie, Kamra Hassan in Philadelphia.
I'm generally afraid he'll get assassinated.
Currently studying Marxism, Leninism, my theoretical level and my experience are
insufficient.
matching theory practice so I won't comment much but subjectively and
idealistically I feel like given the United States national conditions even
if the election is successful it won't be of much use even if some achievements are
a they can only be treating the symptoms not the root cause
how could we be at war with the Chinese they're making fucking flea bag
references yeah um so this is it uh we'll do the Philly recap we'll blast
off and we'll do the Philly recap but before I do the Philly recap I'll just
say the rally was spectacular phenomenal come back home had the
cheesesteak went to sleep didn't really sleep too much
didn't really get to sleep too much because I had to get on a plane
Southwest which you know is the only flight that was available these are
smaller markets as you guys know so there's limited flights and I usually
don't travel Southwest even though Southwest is the famously the communist
airlines you know they're all of their workers get a piece of the the productive
Gays that they make, like they used to have
a more socialist formation.
And also the business model is literally
like first come, first serve.
There's none of that like, you know,
business class shit, none of that, right?
And y'all know my bougie ass.
I need the accommodations of business class
so I can actually bring all of my gear
that I fly everywhere with.
Now of course, because this was a situation
where there's no alternative, we obviously didn't,
I didn't care, I checked in my luggage
and I got on the Southwest flight.
If there were any photos taken of me
in the comfort class availability
where there's like a little bit more leg room,
hopefully you got my good angle while I was sleeping
with the Democratic Socialists of America, Philadelphia head
on this time over my head.
So, you know.
Peanuts, honey roasted.
I don't know if they gave peanuts, I was passed out,
but I will say this.
I get to St. Louis.
And the first thing that happens is people who are
the flight come up to me and they're like you're that political commentator guy right and I was like
yeah and she was like what are you doing here and I was like well you know I'm I'm going to a rally
there's like Mayday event she goes what's a Mayday I was like well today is Mayday she's like
oh okay I was like there's gonna be some rallies around the city right I'm going to one
with Cory Bush, but she was just so shocked that I had actually come to
St. Louis and I realized like there's this attitude in places like Missouri
where hoity-toity, high-faluting, city-slickers like myself, the Bicostal
lead don't come to places like st. Louis you know like she genuinely was shocked
she's like what the fuck are you doing here like this is why are you coming to
our little town now of course st. Louis is not even like a little town it's like
a legit city right
but she literally wait you say respectfully famous people do not show
up at St. Louis, exactly? No, that's, no, that's exactly what she said. She turned
around and said, no, famous people don't come here. She was like, what are you
doing here? I was like, well, I'm doing a rally. Why is that so confusing? She goes,
famous people don't come to this city.
It's a city of 300 K with the metro area is like 3.5 mil. Yeah
People hate st. Louis bands don't even come here and if they do it's the county and it's 30 minutes away from the city
Why is that the case I
I
I don't know I mean America is so vast dude. There's so many beautiful parts of this goddamn country
Chicago stole everything st. Louis had railroads for example. Yeah
Oh, and in in exchange for the railroads that Chicago took from st. Louis
It delivered it industrial waste from what I understand. We're known for violence
Yeah, no, I know. I know. Okay. Don't fucking remind me
There's a big city country divide crime smaller local bands get their trailers and gear stolen
It's because they keep the weird bone on top of the ribs
The city is abandoned and don't even try to understand the county situation me my family got robbed on the first day of our vacation in
St. Louis. I don't have fond memories of that place.
Oh, didn't you listen to the truant on Epon St. Louis? Oh, yeah, I did.
Don't they have that freaky St. Louis is like run by the clan or something,
right? It's like very black, but also at the same time. Well,
I guess that's kind of how every Republican red state run major
run major urban cities
low-key
High black population density and then like the city and and even the state is usually run by literally the fucking clan
So that does make sense I was just while I was in the process of explaining that I was like
Yeah, that does kind of track with like a lot of a lot of these Republican places, right?
But yeah, they do that weird ball right the ball that the the
What's your face the girl that was in 30 Rock was in right
The the lady with the weird face from Hollywood she was in that ball right like the veiled
The veiled clan daughter ball or something the veiled prophet. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes
How does St. Louis do it we got range
The veiled profit parade and ball and I shouldn't be talking so much shit cuz I'm literally in here right now
I don't want these motherfuckers to kill me. Okay
Ellie camper Ellie campers the one associated with the veiled profit ball anyway all the fucking billionaires live in there too
Cuz no taxes wait
Ellie Kemper from Kimmy Schmidt. Yeah, this is, I know this. I know all about this. Yeah.
Contrast. STL is free museums for all and it's dope. But yeah, it was just like a funny
experience. Like I get out of the airport. Like I land, I'm waiting for my bag and this person,
I was like, do you live here? She's like, yeah, I was like, did you like come here for college
Have you lived here born and raised you like no born and raised and she just could not comprehend why I would ever
come to st. Louis
As someone who had lived in Kansas City in st. Louis st. Louis is just fucked okay
Welcome to my city gang. Hopefully I'll see you at the rally. All right. Well, how's it obvious?
We're gonna do a cordon of protection around me. Okay a lot of ops in Missouri
St. Louis feels less safe than Mexico. God damn it. Chatters shut up enough
The problem is I
Mean we were in we were in a not so safe part of Philly yesterday
Initially, it was totally fine. It's awesome. We went to one of the not so safe parts of Chicago with the mayor
You know, I do that shit all the time everybody fucking everybody constantly hikes this up
I don't want to be too audacious. I don't want to to do I don't want to you know engage in hubris here
But a lot of these places are fine. I think people are maybe exaggerating a little bit
Say lose just like any other city the violence is greatly exaggerated these days. Yeah
Look out for the Missourists. The MISSOD doesn't mess around.
The people who live there think the city is dangerous. It's not. I've lived downtown to the hill and in between it's fine.
Yeah, your spike in my court is all a little bit.
So, why people are afraid of their own shadows? I mean, true.
St. Louis is not even top three murder cities anymore this year, brother
You must understand how this does not inspire confidence, right?
Brother America is a deeply violent country. Okay, we got it
Like when you say, oh, we are no longer a top three
That doesn't turn around and make me feel
More safe. Like I know you tried
We're number four now like oh, okay
Okay, now you're being white. I'm just fucking around dude calm down. All right. Anyway, that's a funny thing to say
They say the type of bullshit about LA. Yeah, so we'll see we'll see I'll see for myself. Okay, so
in any case in any case
Everyone thinks the city is worse than it is because the city and county are split so we don't have the richer county pulling down the stats
Like every other city besides Baltimore
But yeah, I'm a st. Louis misery, okay
And you know, I'm very excited
You should take a piss in the Mississippi wall and STL. Yeah, I'm staring right at it right now
I'm staring at the arch to um
They got that big old arch
But yeah, Baltimore the I want to do something with the mayor there
he's been kind of goaded in
lowering the murder rate in
In Baltimore and I want to do some with him to talk to him about all that like the car crime reduction initiatives
That he's actually seen tremendous success with
Speaking of you know lower in the murder rate. So
Maybe one of these days
Baltimore Baltimore
So
We're here. We're live. We're alive. We got a lot going on. There's some drama in the Abdul El Sayed race. We got the Mayday rallies taking place today, taking shape on the St. Louis, Missouri.
I'm going to be doing a Philly recap right now.
And...
Yeah, that's it.
It's worse than Albuquerque. Okay, calm down. Calm down. Okay. Yeah, we got the exit in
the hot seat, war powers resolution, centers and taken L's will be talking about that obviously.
Moose still closed. Core, question mark. Core is what? The new phase, right? The guys that quit phase?
They started core.
Yeah. You missed the Erica Kerr-Varro video. I didn't miss it, but I just like didn't,
I didn't get to react to it in real time.
There's some legit communist history in St. Louis, yeah, but that's usually how it goes.
There's legit communist history in many American cities, especially former industrial cities
like cities that that had a lot of industry in them.
And then the American capitalist class punished them endlessly.
Look at fucking Gary, Indiana.
Okay, look at like look at all the coal mining towns.
This is the story of the United States of America.
Cities that were designed with blood, sweat, and tears of the labor movement, and cities
that were in towns that were endlessly punished for demanding more.
Endlessly punished even after they made significant gains.
Today is a testament to that.
It's May Day, the real Labor Day.
This is the International Labor Day.
In the United States of America, however, we have a different Labor Day, ironically
enough.
Even though a big part of the incitement of the international labor movement came from
not just the hay market riots or the labor struggles that took place all around this
country, but even in places like St. Louis.
This joc of an article details that 1877 St. Louis commune was a landmark event
for international workers movement.
For a few days in July, 1877, workers took over St. Louis and a Communist Party ruled
the Midwestern city.
Same with Minneapolis.
Minneapolis has an incredible history of labor action, labor militancy in general.
The often forgotten St. Louis Commie was a landmark event that showed the U.S. as an
immune to Paris Commie-style eruptions of class consciousness.
Anyway, we'll get to that, too.
Zohran got the Lin-Manuel Miranda endorsement.
Yeah, this is probably the most,
like, this is probably the most at odds I've been
with our boy, okay?
I don't wanna get into it, but I do think,
I do think that's unacceptable.
This is worse than when he's like, you know, this is worse than when he's like constantly doing 17 Hamas condemnation before he says anything about Israel, you know, these are your people bro take it now, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we're not doing that.
This is like a jay shree endorsement. No, it's worse
Lynn Manuel Miranda is fantastic. Yeah, see libs love live Manuel Miranda. So I guess I
Guess it's kind of like a Obama collab in some ways
Yeah, it's crazy because like one, they kind of look alike and two, they kind of sound similar to so he's just he doesn't realize what dangerous forces he's activating when he does stuff like this because it it causes people to go wait a minute you do kind of sound like this live.
The hell is this.
Two brown boys that elevated hip hop stop.
Oh no.
Now you're bragging big Z shaking my head. Listen. Part of the reason why I wanted to
let a thousand Zorons bloom all around the country is so I can fucking let go of this
one. Okay. When he inevitably does cringe shit like this. Okay. That's the whole point.
We move on. Okay. All right, Zoron, you're a socialist mayor in the in the heart of
capital in the heart of empire new york city concrete jungle where dreams are made of boom
all of a sudden you're doing collabs with lib manual miranda you're done i've cut you off now we got
chris robb okay chris robb and philly we got obdlossi we got oliver larkin we got shoyko
chakrabarti we got other brown boys with swag okay yeah big z we're leaving him back in 2025
He's over. Okay 2026 we're moving on to greener pastures. Okay, we've packed up big Z. We're moving on. He's
He's being a fail enniel
Okay, he's being an unbelievable fail enniel with this movement
So we're moving on to bigger and better things. That's the whole point
Y'all thought oh, this is a this is a working class movement and therefore
We have to we have to be fighting this struggle this class struggle everywhere all at once all around the country
No matter where workers are that struggle still continues right now
It's because sometimes if you get a fail any elected they might do cringe shit
Okay, they might be
they might do cringe shit and therefore you have to make sure that you have
enough candidates that you can move on from and move into you just can't handle
the truth of sexual power that is Tim Kaine in the membrane you don't like
how the mirror looks brother Chris Rob would definitely do some shit with Lin
Manuel fuck you right bro you're right you're right loyalty until the manual
Miranda cosine. Kendrick didn't say nothing to Lin Manuel, did he? Oh my god, what did
Lin do to you guys? I'm just meaming, okay? At least he's acting like his age. Unlike
you, you act like you are on life support constantly. I guess you are aging at the
speed of white. Yeah, we're gonna talk about Adam Moglib, Mogging. We're gonna, we're gonna
be talking about Adam Moglib in a little bit. Yes, the Scott, the, the, the absolute
Mogging that he did. He's the Mogler now. He's no longer the Moglib. He's the Mogler
Cause he fucking mocked on CNN last night.
It was awesome.
Um, but also I must condemn that as well.
Coming after a queer bisexual man like that, unacceptable.
Okay.
You guys saw that, right?
It's messed up.
We'll get into that in a second.
I saw your interview on the Hebrew podcasting.
Good job.
Seriously.
Okay.
So what's really interesting about the Hebrew thing is that people were
telling me like, you remember some people were like, Oh, they're
washed. Like, you know, why are you going on their show? Whatever?
Like, I'm glad that I did the TSA due to Philly, Hassan Abihid
was like, Oh, I just saw you on Ebro. Like, there are a lot of
people. It's a totally different audience. Like, I think
Ebro has a Ebro Rosenberg, Ebro Laurel Rosenberg has a
totally, totally different audience. There's a lot of
crossover appeal as well. I think it was really good.
And I'm glad that I did it.
I saw this clip, seems like a decent combo.
Yeah, they were a bit contentious.
No, no, it was a man, a big part of the conversation,
a big part of the conversation that we had
was literally about the clip economy,
about how the clip economy makes long thoughtful conversations
impossible on the internet and lo and behold,
predictably that did happen.
Anyway, in case you don't know,
P-Stad used to work for APEC in the 90s,
left and is not one of the biggest ops.
I believe he's become very anti-Israel. Yes, Rosenberg told me that his dad coined the term
Israel first Israel firsters
Anyway, it was an incredible combo. I hope you have the time to watch some of it one of these days. Yeah, we'll definitely do it
but
but uh...
all right let's get to uh... we blasted off already we blasted off already we let the people know i'm live on the live is made a rally time today
uh...
uh...
fucked it up
fucked up that blast off hold on
uh...
Yeah. May day rally, St. Louis fully recap, exit,
hot seat, war powers, resolution, centers and L or moves is closed.
Corey Bush rally later get it now. So let's, let's start with the,
let's start with the, with the Chris rab rally.
this was great for yesterday's crazy crowd size after this after this twitch stream
this is going to have even more enemies okay yeah this was unbelievable so uh we went to two stops
one with uh previously unregistered voters uh at the end and one before that with canvassers okay
and the canvassers uh rally was incredible there were hundreds of people there
there
um, did you see what shu an had responded with on with what did you see what shu an had responded on with on twitter
no
also
what, who cares
what the fuck
Fuck.
What are you guys talking about, man?
Oh my God.
Bro, I'm literally over here talking about how we are,
I'm doing a rally with someone who's running in Philadelphia
and the hundreds of people that showed up
in the middle of a fucking Thursday
to go doorknock for him.
And you're like, well, have you seen what Siwon had said?
Don't care man. Okay. Let him chirp who gives this shit just how many times so I gotta tell you you got it
You just got to keep your fucking head down and do the work. Okay, none of that stuff matters. It's all noise
Why are you trying to farm a goddamn drama clip so you can post it on your fucking shitty Twitter?
Like farming account to be like this on the hunt got fucking destroyed. He's so mad about whatever the fuck
shoe on heads
Talk to me when when we got the wiki feet ratings up for Shuwan head, okay?
Does she what's her wiki feet looking like?
All right
Anyway, so I
Did not expect this to happen
Okay, I did not expect there to be this many people. I didn't even realize what we're gonna do
Um, this this large of a crowd
horrendous joke, uh-uh
She getting millions of views I don't give a fuck bro, I
Think some way you have to lock in a little bit. I know there's a broad range of interest in this community. I
Know there's a lot of like younger people in here as well people that are kind of disillusioned not really interested in the in the actual
political machine, not really interested in being a part of a broader movement, but like,
you gotta fucking lock in please, okay?
It's alright man, people have been talking shit about me for years and years and they
get millions of fucking views, I got a lot of sweaty incels who hate me, okay?
You can farm them into oblivion, we're gonna get them healthcare regardless, okay?
We're gonna try to make sure that they can have a job, we can get a federal jobs
guarantee for them so they don't have to fucking spend all their goddamn time on the internet
crying.
Let me get a fucking word in edgewise here, this is a great moment, you know?
This is like, this is proof in action.
Afraid to be in a larger movement, what year did you join DSA again?
That's so funny.
Yes, I famously am antagonistic to the Democratic Socialist of America as I am addressing a Democratic
Socialist of America crowd wearing a Democratic Socialist of America Philadelphia hat while
I'm endorsing and cosponsoring and pushing for a Democratic Socialist of America candidate
in Philadelphia.
Thank you.
Thank you, Chatter.
You got me.
I've always maintained a position that I'm, you know, organization agnostic.
That was crazy, right?
That was a crazy experience.
clip did well too.
If you're mad that there's never enough money for healthcare in this country, but unlimited
funds to bomb other countries, well you have an opportunity to make that change.
You have an opportunity to let your voice be heard.
For far too long people have been told, myself included, that we have to vote for
harm reduction.
We have to vote because we have to vote against the Republican Party.
We all know the Republican Party is bad, but you now have an opportunity to vote for something.
And not just Chris, but you have an opportunity to vote for Medicare for All, knowing full
well that he's going to fight that battle for you.
You have an opportunity to vote for the jobs guarantee, endless militarism, ending the
endless militarism to make sure that every single dollar that we spend on new ways
the murder children overseas can be spent here taking care of our children, taking care
of your family members to make sure that instead of spending all that money blowing up schools
overseas, we spend that money on building schools right here.
And this is a universal value that many of you share and that's precisely the reason
why the vote that you cast is not just for Philadelphia, it's not just for Pennsylvania,
It's not just for even places like myself in Los Angeles, California, it's for people
overseas as well.
It's for everybody else.
Am I insane?
How is this not impressive turnout?
What is this?
LaMau, not quite a massive turnout there, but the most popular Sherman in the history
of the world seems like charitably a hundred people.
Wait, what?
Seems like charitably 100 people even less impressive when you realize there are two different universities and walking distance from here
Bro these guys are first of all, it's not my event what the hell
And no, that's not just like a hundred people regard wait what
what? Yeah, what is that? Like 10 people?
Bro, they broke a Pennsylvania state record with like same day canvassing in the middle
of a Thursday, by the way, those are all canvassers. Like that's not. This is how they look like
IRL. Yeah, this was awesome. A protest signed against the Sampiker was spotted in downtown
Atlanta. He's been referring, he's been referred to as the new leader of the Democratic
Party. Arch Communist, the Sampiker, new leader of the Democratic Party calls to
overthrow america communism is created to destroy
the two-parent family and capitalism
engine of production destroyed the human race
centers and fan accounts chirping a little too hard
So close to one of their fucking one of their shooters getting caught
At the White House Correspondents Dinner
You know
What is this?
Pretty white crowd for Philly can't sam surprise dude. What are you talking about?
Well, please okay, we can't be looking at these fucking idiots dude. That's crazy
Yeah, they, first of all, it's not like a predominantly white crowd at all, but what
the hell?
What are these people doing?
is also there's a white lady saying that too but I just don't understand like
what causes people I don't understand what is the the motivation to see someone
trying to do something right like to see someone trying to do anything and and
then the immediate the immediate response is to be like we got a fucking
disparage this like oh it's it's just not it's it's unbelievably white
They're actually anti-black somehow, you know, like this movement is now anti-black actually. I've decided I'm a white woman
Working for a guy who has done blackface and I think personally that this is not this movement is anti-black
back. They hate you, bro. It's not that deep. They will be against anything you do. I just,
yeah, but it's like such a stupid way to live your life. It's such an unbelievably
unproductive way to live your life. Like take that energy and focus on something good. Take
all the energy you have sitting around at home and just like work to rebuild American
society in your vision, you know. Go join a local organizing, go join your local organizing
efforts like do some right anything what what is this it's just this is one of the things
that I'm realizing yet the person that this person works for is Ethan Klein by the way
she literally gets paid to go against every single thing that she previously believed
she also posted a raises me about you the New Yorker drops in another article defending
Hasan and Defensive Cockroach? Yeah, I mean, I saw this one. It's, yeah, who gives a fuck, whatever dude. Okay.
The problem I think that we have nowadays is a lot of people don't want to do anything, right? So when they see
other people doing shit that doesn't actually cause them to go and you know
do something in opposition even right like go and organize how's that racist
Turk Roach is like a 4chan meme about Turkish people they always call Turkish
people cockroaches but I don't really give a shit regardless yeah I've been
called way worse shit right it's it's another one of those like 4chan
things that have been totally, that has been totally normalized. It is what it is. But I
do notice, I do notice this like weird energy. And notice this weird energy on the internet
especially I think a lot of people have this like shared understanding that they're never
going to do anything at all. They're never going to do anything that's worth anything
at all. And therefore, they would much rather disparage those who do. They would much rather
sit around and try to find a way to disparage people who are trying their best.
I saw this with Cuba as well. For the longest time, people said, hey, all you do is sit
around in your living room and talk shit.
Right? All you do is make money sitting around in your living room. It's true.
So then I was like, no, I'll do something. I'll, you know, spend my own money to go out and try to help people, try to develop a better understanding of what's going on in Cuba.
And the moment that I do that, they're like, well, you were wearing expensive glasses in the process of doing so.
And therefore what you were doing is actually wrong and performative and and at a certain point you have to realize like a
Lot of this is just noise and it doesn't matter and
It's coming from a place of
Fear it's coming from a place of insecurity and it's not necessarily like a ideological
Disagreement when you see stuff like this your first inclination is to be like oh these guys all are right-wing
Reactionaries or they're just like hate they hate when a white boy has motion
That's not the case. I think it's coming from a place of insecurity about their lack of interest or their inability to believe in anything.
I think a lot of people recognize that they just are rudderless. They don't have any goals. They don't have a vision for a better future.
And they lean into the nihilism that the internet certainly foments the internet loves this kind of nihilism
And if the internet favors this kind of nihilism and there's a lot of other couch potatoes all over the internet that
Let's sit around and like this shit. They go. Yeah
It makes me feel better that I'm sitting around because that person that goes out there and does shit
He's doing it cynically. He's doing it for some ulterior purpose
right
And I think that's what this is.
People recognize that they're powerless.
They've completely given up on being able to change that powerlessness.
So
They sit around and chirp at those who do something anything no matter how little that might be right because I I
Don't think I'm like this
Kingmaker in the way that a lot of the the Republican media has presented me as right
I don't think that at all. I'm just one guy. I have a you know, very passionate community
I'm very fortunate and I try to do the most with that right we all do
Because little by little every step that we take in the right direction matters in the long run, right?
Sometimes you only have a dollar in your pocket to give to a candidate and you give that dollar regardless
And it's it's the same it's the same principle here. You know you you try to do your very best
You try to do your very best you go out you doorknock if you have time
You don't have time to go out in doorknock for too worried about that. If you got social anxiety you do foam banking, right?
But that's how people move societies little by little every bit helps
people who are struggling material are always going to be much harder to convince. No, these
guys are not struggling materially. I don't think. I don't think a bunch of fucking online
influencers are struggling materially as opposed to those who do struggle materially, but then
recognize why they're struggling and try to make the necessary changes in the limited
amount of time that they do have away from their work. I mean, this community is comprised
of, you know, Amazon delivery drivers, nurses, teachers, working-class individuals, baristas,
right? People who are working in grad school. There's doctors in here, too. Like, there's
people from all different walks of life. And some are struggling a lot worse than
but they recognize why they're struggling and they want to change it.
They want to make that necessary change in the world that they want to see
and they take the steps to do so and they go out and they do the fucking work.
It's often those who feel their powerlessness but have the opportunity to make those changes
that choose not to. And their reaction, in my opinion, their reaction shows that
they're nihilistic. Anyway, let's move on from this.
We got the Abdul political situation. We got Sue Altman being endorsed. But yeah,
I was gonna say like this is what this is this is what it looks like when you
You got a hater in the wild, you know, out in the real world.
I love this guy, by the way, sincerely.
Nobody finds it disturbing that the mayor of this city, who happens to be best friends
with a son, piker, an activist that says America deserved 9-11.
America deserved 9-11, dude.
I'm saying it.
3,000 New Yorkers!
He laughs in our face!
His best friend!
Every day he says,
America deserve 9-11!
Every day I say this.
Also...
Also, what is that music, man?
I mean, this guy went to fucking Kinkos
and got this shit printed.
Like, this guy has...
This massive poster of me and the mayor of New York City, Zohram Mamdani, from our one
event that we did together, or one interview that we did together, eating donuts.
He went and he actually made a beautiful painting.
I find that beautiful, okay?
I find that beautiful.
I find that incredible.
That's ma'am Dandy.
I wish you started the broadcast every day with a 9-11 appreciation remark.
Yeah. Every day I see says America deserved 9-11 every day that he goes on the broadcast.
He wakes up in the morning and he says America deserved it.
And you know, you know immediately what he means when he says America deserved he's talking about 9-eleven
He wants to do more of it, too. He wants to do more 9-elevens and
Zoran also is thinking the same thing. I mean, this is just pure fucking racism 9-eleven
I don't have any sort of patriotism in my heart
Cops that died, firemen, innocent people, and this is gonna lay a wreath of wreath
I can't tell if he's just like trying to make it more aggressive.
like he's trying to, he's trying to prove a point and he's just like lying in the process,
or if he is so insane that he literally thinks I just wake up and instead of pledging allegiance to
the United States, I wake up and pledge allegiance to 9-11 or something, like every morning I wake
up and I'm like, wow, another day living in the United States of America, the country that
deserve 9-11 like I it's the stream intro yeah no one here is Fox 8 every day
and think it's a new show no you know you think he watches Fox news and he
thinks like oh there's another new one mind reading my last okay here is
yahoo to once again you who does another one of these fucking what is
your last bro what where is it where you don't even have a last take your first
take your last take is just you going mind reading my last you always say
mind reading my life I'm you're so you're this close to eating a suspension
okay you know how much I hate this shit unbelievable chatter is going can you
read my last statement and then his last statement is just him going can you read my last statement
yes i do mind

They hug each other!
This guy is a fucking IRL
Grand Theft Auto and PC bro!
God, what a beautiful!
What a beautiful!
What a beautiful world we live in man, this is this is a part of the rich tapestry that makes this country so
Fantastic, I'm gonna be honest. I
Really do sincerely love this man. It's not a joke. I'm not just saying that I
genuinely
Love this guy. I love my hogs. Oh
Amazing
First of all, I think that I don't think America deserved 9-11.
You're wrong.
Oh, well.
My f***ing face amendment right!
We speak the f***ing truth!
That nobody's got no balls!
Empires never die quietly, and we must end the American Empire regardless.
I'm a propagandist.
Well, no, no, no, I'm a propagandist.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Nobody cares nobody cares nobody cares nobody cares about this
Why does nobody care about this? Yeah, maybe because they don't have the same like
Brain poison that you have big dog except for this guy this guy's in Atlanta, and he has the same brain poison
I mean he's getting out there and doing something I know but I meant like do something productive, man
I meant do some productive. I guess that guy is the is the out there version of this, right?
This is doing nothing. Just fucking chirping into the wind
Angrily being like man, and this guy's a loser. He has no motion
Add this guy into the hog of decks, this is a rare catch to nap this level of delusion into hating you fire writing
This is why we're here. I know
This is this is a hog. This is hogmas beyond my my wildest imagination

An article left to streamer Hassan piker gives Chris rab a boost during West Philadelphia campaign string swing
Rob appeared on the controversial streamer show cast a pikers million fires and drawing
hordes of young prisoners a pair to a pair of on camera campaign events in the city
in a live stream conversation at West Philadelphia on Thursday with one of left's most polarizing
national figures state rep Chris Rob Chris Rob is anti establishment anti Israel platform
which has dominated his campaign and much of the rhetoric in the city's heated race
for Congress got a massive megaphone.

the Shrima has been at the center of a broad national debate about whether the Democratic
Party should embrace figures who align with most of his views, but who have also taken
some controversial positions. Hassan has a documented record of statements that we
find deeply troubling, said Jason Holtzman, chief of the Jewish Community Relations Council
at the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia. He dismissed the sexual violence of Hamas
tax on Israel October 7. He called Orthodox Jews in bread. He compared Zionists to
Nazis. He characterized Hamas as preferable to the state of Israel, Holtzman said.
These are not edgy opinions. They are statements that minimize Jewish suffering, dehumanize Jewish people, and normalize violence against Jews in the Jewish state. No, it doesn't.
Okay? Also, Jews in the Jewish state. Always, always with the Jewish state.
Oh. I just don't think these guys are ever going to give up on the false conflation between Judaism and Zionism no matter what.
is never going to give up on it. They're just going to keep posting it over and over again,
not realizing that the environment has shifted dramatically from under their feet. They're
just never going to recognize or acknowledge that you are associating an entire population
of people with a deeply unpopular and very violent movement, a very violent nation
state that has done a genocide that the overwhelming majority of Americans, including
a decent chunk of jewish americans recognized
to be a pariah state a pariah state that is committed a genocide that deserves
accountability it just doesn't
it blows my mind that they keep this shit up i don't understand it
anyway piker's walk back some of the comments of the parent marathon daily
broadcast on life-streaming service which he has an apologize for others
including anti-sonic statements like that he would vote for him also for the
israeli regime
piker brushed off those concerns of rap
sayings of all the person who just as a passion for the issues he cares
about. We now live in a pro-Trump universe where we should be speaking in the exact same
way that regular folks speak, Piker said. I see no reason to censor myself or talk in
a regular way. I mean, I was saying like I talk in a regular way. This is how normal
people, this is how normal people speak when they have an opinion, okay?
Rab, who often used profanity on the campaign trail and did so repeatedly with Piker Thursday
night, agreed and said Piker's popular streams were an act of defiance against corporate
media and a federal government under President Donald Trump that he considers authoritarian.
An important part of that independent streak, Rab said, is his own use of the word genocide
to explicitly describe Israel's attacks in Gaza.
That position has become a defining issue in the race, separating him from Shreed and
Stanford, who Rab and his supporters have accused of benefiting from support from the
American-Israel Public Affairs Committee.
APAC, a pro-Israel group that many Democrats have turned against, has not donated directly
to Stanford, though groups supporting her received donations from political action
committees along with APAC in a previous election cycle. I do want to point to one thing here,
by the way, okay? This is how mainstream media operates. Like the Philadelphia Inquirer is
not like an op or anything. You know, they're like a regular local newspaper. I believe
they might have even had their editorial board endorse Rob, a rab if I'm not mistaken.
But what's really interesting about it is like, there is always a hidden bias in
the way that we perceive the news and the way that we cover the news, right?
And journalists, obviously, also have these sorts of hidden biases.
And what I always find interesting is that there's always a dual standard, a double
standard.
Like, they won't go to care or they won't go to other Muslim groups or the Muslim
community in Philadelphia, which is fairly vast, fairly large, to ask them how they
feel, right?
Like that's and and this is not a newspaper that is antagonistic as I'm telling you right now
There's not a newspaper that is antagonistic the Chris rap, right?
So they're not even recognizing that they're participating in the same bias, right?
They'll go to a pro-Israel institution to get a quote
But they'll never go to a pro-Palestinian institution to get a separate quote on Islamophobia for example, right?
This is the double standard. This is a part of the implicit biases that every institution holds
and even, you know, journalists who want to do their very best lean into without realizing.
Like this, this newspaper is not trying to do a hit piece here, right? They're trying to do
sincere
coverage and I think the ADL and like the Jewish council of you know Jewish relations and
Institutions like that take advantage of that
This is an example of them taking advantage of that they legitimize the the statements
They legitimize and and offer weight to the accusations and it's like this or a Boris
These are different organizations that work alongside one another that have different names
But have the same exact opinion the same exact goal, which is to defend Israel while you know utilizing the the
Name of Judaism while saying they're representing all Jews. They're simply representing Israel
That's their primary purpose here, and they basically offer
Insincere concerns
More legitimacy more weight like oh, this is really scary. This guy's a really scary dangerous guy. I don't think this is
is productive for discourse, right?
I don't think this is productive for discourse at all.
But it's just the way, the cookie crumbles, I guess, it's just the way things are.
Like no one ever comes to me to be like, how do you feel about these attacks?
Like people say you're a terrorist, people say you're an Islamist fundamentalist,
people say you're an anti-Semite.
You've spent your entire career combating anti-Semitism. How does that make you feel? Do you feel like this is Islamophobic? These attacks?
Because at the end of the day, if everyone has that same bias, if the overwhelming majority of people have that same bias where they think,
Yeah, there is probably a little bit of legitimacy to these claims because he is Muslim after all.
He probably is a little anti-Semitic. That's just how it works.
And the cycle continues.
Anyway, Rab repeated throughout Piker's stream and specifically made a key part of his page when asking voters support for donations.
He reviews all corporate APEC funds. The question voters should be asking is which candidate publicly disavows APEC and is willing to say there's an ongoing genocide and we're complicit with our tax dollars.
Rabbis targeting young voters in particular with that message using pikers is to energize and rally around the issue and his campaign
At a camson kickoff event in West Philly's Malcolm X Memorial Park just for meeting with piker. He spoke to more than a hundred mostly young people
Okay, there are 400 people there Jesus Christ getting ready to knock on doors and said the Democratic Party of previously failed to motivate them to show up and vote
I'm not clowning on I'm not clowning young people. I'm clowning a democratic machine whose only job is to turn out Democrats. Rabb said
That's the one thing they're supposed to do really well in their trash at it that a fundraiser in Renata's kitchen a couple hours later
As many as 200 young enthusiastic fans waiting to see piker. Oh, this is that was the other one
That was the other rally. I wasn't that
Alternated between Eagles chance and chance the tax the rich free Palestine beers and hands some warm maroon Philadelphia
Democratic Socialist America hats on the day
They say, Rab received a National Democratic Socialist Organization's endorsement.
When Piker arrived at Woman and G's in a brown leather jacket, climbed the tree with one hand
and held a cigarette on the other to get a closer look.
After this Twitch stream, Chris is going to have even more enemies.
Piker told the crowd before denouncing A-Pack in colorful language.
Go birds.
But the disciplining operation, if you guys were wondering, like why all of this
coverage is taking place even if it doesn't actually put a dent in my
audience or put a dent in in the way that people perceive me even amongst like
those who want to work alongside me have me appear at their rallies I'll tell you
why it's because for the rest of time every single media coverage that that
features me in any way shape or form is always going to say controversial
streamer, possible anti-Semite, and they will always go to a pro-Israeli organization to
get their opinions about how Jewish people are terrified of him or something like that.
It's totally insincere, but that was the operation, right?
That is the reason why, for the last three months, they have been going unbelievably
hard and there will always be this like association and the thing is this is a great opportunity
for candidates and for anyone really to look at this stuff and say this is all bullshit.
Okay.
You guys say this about anyone that's like anti-Israel, anyone that's critical of Israel
doing a genocide and you don't have this level of criticism that you launch at people
who have contributed to Israel's genocide, right? Would you truly say it's insincere to
call you controversial? No, but I think it is insincere to call me an anti-Semite. And
they don't just say I'm controversial because my views are polarizing or even on the issue
of Israel, they're not polarizing at all, but they'll still say it's controversial
because it's controversial to them. It's the language that they utilize here is
purposeful. You have to understand that like when the New York Times says the
issue of Israel is dividing Democrats, the reality of the matter is it's not
dividing the Democrats at all. It's not. It's dividing the Democratic voters and
the Democratic Party, okay? But all of this is a tool to frame the
conversation around an untouchable pariah. The real untouchable pariah is
the Israeli state, not its critics. Okay? So they work extra hard tirelessly to make
Israel's critics seem untouchable in a pariah, even when, as we've seen over and over again
in the real world, people don't have this attitude at all. Right? It's a framing operation
to basically deny reality that is observable. It's exactly in the same line as what
people have done the Jeremy Corbett in the past calling him an anti-semite over and over again,
and then building up on the pre-existing news media coverage about calling me an anti-semite, right?
So, yeah,
unfortunately, we don't live in a normal and healthy functioning society
where a lot of the viewpoints that I hold would not be covered by mainstream media as
controversial, like being pro-medicare for all, ending endless militarism overseas,
shuttering some of our 800 military bases, focusing on ourselves, fixing the potholes,
building our infrastructure, building our schools, making college free, making healthcare free.
These are not controversial opinions at all. The overwhelming majority of Americans would
would agree with these opinions, and they do, they certainly agree with these opinions.
That's precisely the reason why when people actually attack someone like myself, they
don't actually address the issue. They say I'm anti-black, anti-gay, anti-trans, anti-semitic,
all of these things that I'm not, all of these things that I actually abhor and fight
against, right? Because if they were to turn around and say, we don't like this
guy because he says, fuck Israel, and that's a bridge too far, that's a, we don't
like this guy because he actually explains why Palestinians not only have a right to resist
and why they resist, even in terms of militant resistance that ends up committing atrocities.
We don't want to hear that conversation. We oppose him because he's explaining that
stuff and that's very dangerous because we don't want other people to understand that.
We don't want other people to operate in that framework. It's a much easier argument
to make, that Israel has to be this violent entity in the region, if we can constantly
reinforce the notion that it's in a bad neighborhood surrounded by barbaric, rapist Muslims who
want to fucking kill every Jewish person on the planet, right?
All of a sudden when someone comes around and says, what would you do in that similar
circumstance if you were Palestinian and your entire family was destroyed by Israel,
would you not take up arms?
People go, wait a minute, I do understand that.
That does actually make sense.
And that's what's terrifying for a lot of the mainstream media gatekeepers, unfortunately.
And it's certainly terrifying for a lot of these institutions.
These guys will never cover Bill Maher as controversial media figure Bill Maher.
They don't even say Jordan Peterson is controversial.
They say Jordan Peterson is a professor.
only goes in one direction. Or if it goes in the other direction, you have to be a straight-up avowed
self-titled neo-Nazi. That's what's so crazy about this. The permission structure is so
unbelievably centered on the right, like the far right, that in order to be considered a
controversial figure on the right, you have to literally be a neo-Nazi.
But to be considered a controversial figure on the left, you have to oppose Israel.
Yeah, it's the rotten herring tactic.
Sure, a guide to Russian propaganda Part 6, spets propaganda the secret Soviet art of brainwashing.
This is from Euromaidom Press.
Ironically enough, it is both of these, both that article is written by a State Department
associate and also it's the State Department style propaganda that's being implemented
against me.
So, they're not doing it Russian style, they're doing it American style.
Let's be real.
I mean, I'm sure Russia does it too, of course, but.
So, but this is what it is, look.
That's on Piker Show, and that's gotten some criticism from-
Like, she goes, that's gotten some criticism.
Who's it gotten criticism from?
Is it?
Has that gotten criticism, or are you just operating off of previous articles that other
media outlets wrote?
This is like when reporters or mainstream media outlets will publish a poll result, they'll
be like, oh, only like 12% of Americans recognizes those committing a genocide.
It's like almost like, yeah, it's your fault that that is the case.
When the objective reality is that Israel has committed a genocide, all of these other
institutions that are tasked with identifying a genocide, looking at the intent, looking
at the action, looking at the impact that declared Israel to be doing a genocide.
And the reason why only 12, by the way, that number is obviously not 12%, I just use that
as a hypothetical, but the reason why that number is so miniscule in the American public
is because you haven't done your job. You haven't served your stated purpose of disseminating
the truth. Yeah, Mace Media will create a story and then we'll report on that same story even
if that isn't true, even if that's not sincere to begin with. Classic. Many people are
saying this is a controversial person. Who? Who's saying that? As a matter of fact, people
have been polled, ironically enough, on appearing on my stream and for the most part they don't
have any issue with it.
Some of his comments about October 7th, 9-11, and Hamas that have been, some of his comments
have been heavily criticized. He did apologize for the 9-11 comment. What do you think
of the language that he has used in the past and are you okay with it?
I'm not aware of the language he's used.
I'm recently aware of who he is through my sons, actually.
So if I had.
Is there something you're going to research
before you do your show?
Not necessarily.
There's no feedback when folks go on Bill Maher.
And he said some very problematic things.
There was no real pushback when Bernie Sanders went
on Joe Rogan, who has consistently
said problematic things.
But here's the issue.
Where's the line?
I mean, we all have our own lines, right?
But if I said, I'm not going to communicate or engage someone
who I don't share my politics with,
I couldn't do my job as a state lawmaker.
I worked the first six years in office
with a Republican majority.
We're-
Sampiker, as I said, a thing wrong, period.
We like it's on infinitely more than we like the media
or the D&C, it's a smart move.
The more they keep pushing us on,
the more people will be curious,
the more they will start to realize
the popularity movement is here.
Keep it up, mainstream media.
We love Hassan Piker and his takes are always right.
I didn't know who this Hassan guy was until the media started talking about him incessantly
and suddenly, but now that I know who he is, I can say I really like him.
I'm over 50.
Big fan of Hassan.
Their priorities were anathema to me, criticized by you.
They fought for were things that deeply offended me.
I still had to work with those folks because I had to find common cause.
I'm going to find common cause with Hassan Piker.
I'm going to find common cause with corporate dams.
I'm gonna find common cause with anyone I can if they're willing to work in good faith
to help people.
That's my job as a public servant.
So unless there is a line that is way too, you know, out there, we all have to find
that line.
But I don't know until I have a conversation with him.
But if there are things that we agree on, that's what we're gonna focus on.
That's how I've been such an effective lawmaker.
I focus on the things that we have in common.
Yep.
I don't think you can even say Israel is an anti-Semitic, they bomb synagogues, have
you bombed a synagogue?
Of course not.
I am unconditionally and uncompromisingly anti-attacking places of worship.
Israel on the other hand has not only bombed mosques, has not only bombed mosques, has
not only bomb mosques
they bomb churches and they've also even bombed
a synagogue or all synagogues historically but a synagogue in tehran as well
i i i got to be
no universal child care
no federal paid parental leave
no federal paid sick leave
no free higher education
nothing okay
we will
ban Hassan Piker? No anti-racism laws, where racism and discrimination in general is punishable
by law. But we're gonna clip Hassan Piker and based off of that, we're gonna pass anti-Hassan
Piker bills? No drug decriminalization, no housing as a human right, no automatic voter
registration. No sentencing reform. But Hassan Piker, right? Data privacy, GDPR, what? No,
Hassan, Hassan Piker. Yeah, okay, cool. We get it. No universal healthcare. No universal child care.
no federal paid parental leave, no federal paid sick leave, no free higher
education, nothing okay, but we will ban Hasan Piker. No anti-racism laws where
racism and discrimination in general is punishable by law, but we're gonna clip
Hassan piker and based off of that, we're going to pass anti Hassan
W loop
There's also this
When it's brought up in American politics by American politicians because what do you mean?
There's a bipartisan motion being presented in the house to condemn the son piker for anti-Semitism
And I saw either I must do a Nazi salute on stage and go on to get every single social service
What the fuck are we talking about?
Perhaps there's an instance, and I just don't remember it, but when was the last time that
Congress got together bipartisan to issue a condemnation of somebody for racism?
Like anti-blackness.
What was this energy when Republicans were depicting Obama being lynched?
I don't expect to see either.
That's true.
The Elon Musk full Hitler salute is such a crazy moment in American history that should
not be forgotten even though it has been forgotten that that basically betrays
all of this nonsense right Elon Musk's Elon Musk did that shit twice he hit the
double sig hyal and he put it he put some emphasis on it too he put his full
chest into that shit and yes it was very controversial at the time a lot of
People got mad at it.
There was no condemnation from Congress, though.
I'll Zionist anytime soon.
But is this degree of pandering not, like, nauseating
and embarrassing?
At least, they're annoying to witness people grovel like this
as they virtue signal, hey, we understand
that we have a collective interest in Israel,
and we understand that you are a key part of our votes
and donations.
And I will literally kiss ass to make sure you know that.
There are active white supremacists in the White House.
Is the pandering, is the virtue signifying at least a little gross?
It's just crazy because Gavin Newsom, who wants to run for president, gets more smoke for saying he would entertain coming on my show than going on Steve Bannon's show,
Ben Shapiro show and conversing with Charlie Kirk before Charlie Kirk was
assassinated and agreeing with them. Okay? This, this shows exactly what is
acceptable speech in mainstream media and what's outside of the confines of
permissible speech in mainstream outlets. Okay? Now I understand why Fox News
would make this distinction. But what blows my mind is when all these supposedly liberal media outlets
don't cover that in the same way. From their perspective, Ben Shapiro is not controversial. Ben Shapiro is a regular right-wing commentator, okay?
Ben Shapiro's entire worldview is heinous. Ben Shapiro has said unbelievably racist things, both politely and also in a vulgar manner as well.
What are we doing? What is this comparison?
It makes no sense
Anyway, I'm done with this shit
Let's move on
There was a good Ebro a
Moment as well Jewish Park as host Peter Rosenberg calls out a son. I'll be over his comments about Hamas, right?
Which is ironic because like the three-minute conversation if you watch the video shows a very different reality
Candace Owens briefly talked about you
The US House is considering a resolution condemning Hassan Piker I've never spoken to that person my entire life and Candace Owens for
You got it guys anti-semitism
Who's bringing this forward?
Okay, we've got reps Mike Lauer and Josh got a Heimer
And by person bill to denounce anti-semitic hate-filled rhetoric
though far left piker says that the move is making it some to some worse that is our subheading here the resolution begins by
Yeah, I can just always block me many years ago because I've been outspoken about her
defensive white supremacy and ironically enough her her anti-semitic tendencies as well for many many years
condemning anti-semitic hate filled rhetoric and content that is disseminated to prominent online personalities
blah blah blah it tells us that whereas the rise of digital media platforms has
enabled individuals with large audiences to disseminate discrimination,
humanitarian political viewpoints to millions of viewers worldwide such
influence carries a heightened responsibility to avoid rhetoric that
promotes hatred violence or discrimination against any group including
Jewish individuals and communities. All on the same day everyone is just
suddenly signaling that speech is violence. Speech is now violence they
name-check means, whereas Canisone has employed rhetoric that has included conspiracy theories
accusing Israel of controlling the United States government. By the way, ironically, these two
people, I both of them, brought this forward, take more than a million dollars from APEC.
Governments promoting false claims that Jews are taught by ancient religious texts to hate.
I haven't watched this, but I did see your show a clip of Mengele, and that was enough for me.
Yeah, I don't really care about this
I've never spoken to her
I've spoken about her quite a bit and I also gave her a five dollar donation that she did not read when
The whole turning point USA conquest was peeking
if you remember as a king instigator as

I tried to lean in to the controversy between Candace Owens and

Trump is back to money molestation his favorite activity it wasn't enough
that he's molested the money through the Strait of Hormuz.
He's going to molest the money directly.
Trump is now molesting the European Union's money
once again, announcing a 25% tariff on cars and trucks
from the European Union.
Let's get started.
The tariffs on cars coming in from the European Union
because the European Union was not adhering
to the freight deal we have.
So based on that now, when they build their plans
of which we're spending.
They're spending over $100 billion.
All countries, not just the union.
When those plans open, there won't be any tariffs.
But we raised the tariffs because they were not,
as usual, they were not adhering to the agreement.
And we have a trade deal with the European Union.
They were not adhering to it.
So I raised the tariffs on cars and trucks for 25 percent.
That's billions of dollars coming into the United States.
and it forces them to move their factory production much faster.
We have right now in the United States over $100 million of car plants being built.
It's a record.
We've never had anything like it from all countries, Japan, South Korea, every, by the
way, Canada, Mexico, they're all building plants in the United States, but the European
The union was not adhering to the deal that we made, and we agree with that.
Yeah, Donald Trump came out and also admitted, I love these little, I love these little media
press tours that he does right before he gets on the helicopter with the loudest background
noise possible, where he'll just say a bunch of unhinged things and then prop his big
gas up on that helicopter and fly away
okay
here is being asked about the iran deal and uh... saying that he's not satisfied
with the uh... iran deal which hasn't changed by the way
this deal
that he is currently unsatisfied with
ironically enough
is the exact
deal that he agreed to
approximately two to three weeks ago
uh... it's the same exact deal is the same exact ten point deal
that iran presented
uh... by the second week
of operation at stein's fury
and
really interesting to see him now go back on that after agreeing to it after
agreeing to it
uh... approximately two weeks ago
he's dissatisfied with the same deal that he said yes
China it's going to be amazing the visit with China and Chairman Xi that's going to be great
We have the trip with China coming up and it would be I think it would be an amazing
The trip with China is not going to be amazing because
Because as I talked to Trita Parsi about this as well, as I've explained to you over and
over again, Donald Trump was supposed to go to China and have tremendous leverage.
He had Venezuela.
He was able to forcibly decouple Venezuela from China.
Venezuela is his Chinese entrance into the Latin American marketplace.
It was a stronghold for Chinese influence in South America.
And Donald Trump was able to do the Maduro kidnapping operation.
It was successful by his own estimations, of course, even though it was obviously unjust
and totally ridiculous.
You can't just kidnap and depose the leader of a sovereign nation-state, but America gets
to do that, and the entirety of the European Union was in agreement with this decision,
not realizing what that says about international law.
But he thought he could do the same thing with Iran.
But of course, he failed to do so.
Maybe it was partially because of bad intelligence that he got from the Israeli side.
Maybe it was his own personal hubris.
Maybe it was because he felt that he could have a string of successes here, going into
the China negotiations, going into the Beijing summit.
He thought he would have not one, but two major victories.
Now that the Iranian quagmire has exploded in his face,
it's having a very different paging summit potentially,
one where America's force projection capabilities
have diminished around the world,
one where undoubtedly he will have to concede
to a lot of Chinese demands.
If the summit happens at all,
we don't know if the summit will take place.
Part of the reason why is because, as I said, he hasn't been able to wrap up this Iran situation
and there's really no way for him to wrap up this Iran situation without America taking
significant L's.
What do I mean by this?
It's obvious that we are not capable of militarily forcing Iran to submit.
In the aftermath of the second instance of perfidy where America and Israel started
bombing Iran and assassinated its entire leadership, the IRGC leadership that existed, the Ayatollah
and many in the civilian leadership.
Iran came out of that process 50 days later with more leverage than they had prior to
the negotiations process.
They now control the Shredda Hormuz.
They have now shown the world that America is maybe a little bit of a paper tiger.
doesn't have the capabilities of forcing Iran to submit militarily, and Iran is a much
poorer country than China.
Iran doesn't have the robust manufacturing base that China has.
Iran doesn't have the same international levers the pool that China can pull.
And yet America still was not able to force Iran to submit.
And not only were they not able to force Iran to submit, they also gave Iran more
leverage, control over the Strait of Hormuz, this key choke point that is responsible
for transiting 20% of the entire world's energy supply.
That's a spectacular flub, regardless.
In the process, America lost billions of dollars of assets in the region.
America showed its regional partners that its security commitments are to Israel and
Israel only and no one else, and that they are completely incapable of even defending
their own military bases and their own assets in these regions, and they're certainly not
even capable of defending the other industrial assets that are also in these regions that
are owned, in many instances, by American companies anyway.
So you now have to either submit to Iran's demands, which I suspect Trump would do if
if he was a little bit reasonable here,
before going to the Beijing summit.
Or you continue this weird limbo,
where is the Shredda Hormuz open?
Will it stay closed?
How will it be closed?
Is America still going to enforce a naval blockade?
There's a lot of these questions.
And these questions are not good for the energy markets.
These questions are not good for the tankers of oil,
transiting through the Shredda Hormuz
going to the Asian markets in general. These guys are screaming bloody murder at this point.
They've dug deep into their reserves. There's diminished economic activity in the manufacturing
base of the entire planet because that's what the Asian markets are, right? We're
not entirely removed here in the United States of America from the rest of the globe.
This is the design of global capitalism.
If things are harder to produce or more costly to produce or can't even be produced in places
like Vietnam, South Korea, China, Bangladesh, India, then there's going to be an inflationary
impact in the United States of America and the Western markets as well.
All the components are made there even if they're assembled in the United States of
America for example.
There is a domestic crisis that's brewing, a domestic inflation crisis that's brewing,
okay?
And Donald Trump is incapable of addressing it, doesn't even want to think about it, doesn't
even want to talk about it.
All he wants to talk about is this stupid fucking ballroom.
Americans are frustrated.
American hegemony has been threatened and there's no way out of this.
The only thing that Trump can do is either de-escalate or escalate.
If he de-escalates, that's taking a major L. That's taking an L that is unambiguous.
Everyone understands that the American side lost this battle because their opposition gained
more leverage in the process, have more control, and can force America, this hegemon,
to do their bidding for once.
So that's a huge and unambiguous defeat for the United States of America.
That is if he de-escalates, which is the best possible option here.
If he goes up the escalation ladder, what can he do?
Obviously, the maximum escalation would be the deployment of nuclear arms.
He can't do that.
This will change the dynamic of the planet, right?
The other thing he could potentially do is invade militarily.
But once again, Iran is a gigantic country, 93 million people live there.
Its topography has created this mountainous fortress.
It's a natural fortress surrounded on all sides by mountains with a not insignificant
number of conventional forces as well. This would be unbelievably devastating. Tens of
thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of western military forces dying in the process.
And even if they did succeed, you would destabilize this country with 93 million people.
There's no real guarantee of military success there either.
So, obviously, even the escalation on the American side would yield even further death and destruction,
and perhaps the death of American Empire, it would be the final nail in the coffin.
So, the reasonable choice to make here is the escalation, which is again an unambiguous,
recognized defeat. So what do we do? Well, therein lies the problem. That's
precisely the reason why Donald Trump is stuck in this limbo, doing increasingly
dumber things. You're wrong about the US literally doesn't have the military to
invade the size and complexity of such an operation with rival D-Day. We have
5,000 amphibious troops, not 500,000 which we need. No, I know, I know, I know. I don't
even think that the United States of America would be able to militarily invade Iran without
either developing a coalition of the willing which is not going to happen. And even then
I don't even think they'd have enough numbers of troops to amass to successfully pull off
any sort of ground invasion of Iran or an amphibious one. But outside of that,
You would have to literally re-institute the draft.
And I think that would be bedlam.
I don't think Americans are excited at the prospect of waging war against Iran, especially
at this stage, when there's really nothing to look forward to anyway.
And there's no real reason to wage war with Iran.
And most Americans would look at this and go, yeah, no, this is because of Israel.
I'm not going to die for Israel.
Get the fuck out of here.
Send Israeli troops there if you want.
which we all know is not going to happen.
I've never paid this much for gas mine, Charlie.
This morning, the ongoing war in Iran, pushing gas prices to levels not seen in years.
An expert say it could go much higher.
Shish!
I mean, these are, that says, yeah, that's California, baby, you know, is how it is.
even this conversation is a little silly where it's like Americans only care
about what happens to their Wallace right like we just don't even care we
don't care about anything it's crazy
viewers are now paying an average of $4.41 a gallon up from just under $3 at
the start of the war Americans across the country feeling the impacts I cut
down in groceries a little bit.
Yeah, because gas is just more of an expense now.
I used to not think about it.
I choose not to drive as much.
You know, it's really, it's costly.
So I usually take my scooter,
I'll take public transportation.
Diesel fuel used by trucks to move goods
across the country, now averaging nearly $5.50 a gallon.
Experts say this could drive up the cost
of everyday items as Americans continue
to grapple with inflation.
Roughly 20 million barrels of oil
pass through the Strait of Hormuz every day,
and with the waterway still shut down, oil hit a wartime peak Thursday of more than $126 a barrel.
If the threat of hormones continues to be blocked or significantly impeded, we could see the
national average pushing closer to $475 or even that $5 gallon mark by Memorial Day.
The nation's highest prices are in California, where gas now averages $6 a gallon and even
more at some stations. I'm not spending anything else on anything. It's all going to gas.
The president predicting relief will come once the war ends.
Gas will go down as soon as the war is over, it'll drop like a rock.
But analysts say that could take some time.
We are getting into territory where even if the Surrey does reopen,
it could be beyond a year for gas prices to fully normalize back to their pre-war levels.
In some areas, public transit systems are reporting an uptick in bus ridership as drivers
look for a way to cut costs.
It was in the early hours of February 28th when the US and Israel launched massive strikes
on Iran.
But now, 60 days later, the law that allows US presidents to conduct military operations...
Yeah, I mean...
The law is worth nothing.
The paper that's written on is basically toilet paper.
Okay?
Let's be real.
Donald Trump has shown one, uh, one very important reality to everyone that's paying attention.
Many people aren't, but to those who are paying attention, we now know none of this stuff
matters.
Okay.
The law doesn't matter.
The only thing that matters is if you are going to hold the president accountable,
if you're gonna, if you're gonna make a big fuss about it.
And it seems for many Democrats as well, uh, as the entirety of the Republican Party,
They don't care about any of these laws.
The presidents in the past have also ignored the war powers resolutions.
And I'm not shocked that Trump is doing the same.
It's just an illusion, okay?
It's all it is.
without congressional authorization.
The Constitution is never going to be more fake than it's been today.
But on the Capitol Hill, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth,
insisting the ceasefire the President declared in early April,
allows them to continue operations without authorization.
We are in a ceasefire right now,
which our understanding means the 60-day clock pauses or stops in a ceasefire.
So, you're not in. It's our understanding.
Okay, well, I do not believe the statute would support that.
Some in the president's own party even losing patience, Republican Senator Susan Collins
saying in a statement, that deadline is not a suggestion, it is a requirement, adding,
the president's authority as commander-in-chief is not without limits.
The Constitution gives Congress an essential role in decisions of war and peace.
And Democrats questioning whether or not Hexeth is giving the president a complete picture
of the conflict.
Mr. Seckley, I am concerned that you have been telling the president what he wants to
hear instead of what he needs to hear.
Hegseth lashing out.
We are two months into a historic military success in Iran and you want to call it a defeat.
But the American public is not convinced.
This morning a new ABC News Washington Post-Ipsos poll shows only 19 percent believe U.S. actions
in Iran this year have been successful.
about 61% say that using U.S. military force in Iran was a mistake, while just over one
third say it was the right decision.
And our new poll also showing that Americans are not confident that even if the administration
secured an agreement with Iran, it would actually prevent it from developing a nuclear
weapon.
And as for that 60-day deadline, a senior administration official doubling down on what
Hagseth said insisting that the April 7 ceasefire has paused the clock, but our military is conducting a blockade of Iranian oil and a
blockade is considered an act of war under international law. George.
This is a war of aggression.
What is international law? Who's enforcing it?
Okay, this. Now this was great. Okay.
This is a great moment.
The descent into lawlessness was remarkably fast.
I remember it because treatlerites have not really felt the material pain.
Yeah.
You going up the arch?
Yeah.
I'm going to run up the arch and then run down the arch.
We're obviously going to be watching this.
Many of you already probably saw it.
It's an incredibly satisfying moment.
We're Adam Mockler, also known as Adam Mocklib.
Also known as Adam Mogler.
Uh, actually pulled out the Moggler today. Okay.
He busted out the piece. He put something I'd even say asked the belt.
Okay. Respect to Adam. Uh,
although he, uh, routinely aligns himself with sex,
Pestini, which is his biggest L of all time. Uh, you know,
you got to give credit where credit is due. This was fantastic to watch.
All right, let's go.
Who is the aggressor here?
Us!
We are the aggressor!
I mean, can you name a single political concession we've gotten from them?
Anything at all?
What are you talking about?
Any political concession?
So, you can't name one.
So, here, so here-
Did I say ask the belt?
I meant belt to ask.
You put belt to ask!
God damn it!
You put ask the belt, but then also belt to ask.
You don't have to in this case?
No!
I-I-
The thing is...
I
Have a soft spot for Adam Mocklib. Okay, I do I
Think he's very smart. I think he's very good at what he does. I really wish he wasn't so lipped up
but
It is what it is
Okay, at the end of the day he cooks these charlatans and I respect that I have to put some respect on it I
I would probably have a bigger soft spot for liberals in general if they behave like this more often than not
What we're doing political discussions when you get up that pastor bit that you get hyper here's the deal
We what is this I saw me debate Nick Cruz?
I saw I'm trying to criticize you and say that you copied his ideas
And I know you're significantly more knowledgeable than that dude that guy's trying to turn leftist against you
Which is pretty sad in my opinion. I have no idea who Nick Cruz is who the fuck is Nick Cruz?
Trying to turn leftists against you
What I
Genuinely feel like some of you guys are fans of these people and you want them to get noticed here and and you know get a little bit of marketing
There's a new character every fucking day. It seems we are
If words don't have any meaning but like we have sanctions against these vessels and
Howdy, Phillip, in New York, tonight, a new question.
Just how popular is this war with Iran?
President Trump says that the war with Iran could take days at first, if he wanted to,
but then he said it would be weeks.
And now he says that now that it's carried into its third month, despite higher gas
prices at home and plummeting polls at home as well, Pete Hexeth is saying that America
is right behind the president.
When I talk to Americans, and especially when I talk to the troops, they are grateful for
a president who has the courage to take on this threat after 47 years of what Iran has
done targeting and killing Americans.
What I'm concerned about is we are not safer, and I would just like to know why you have
not sought the support of the American people.
And three out of five Americans are against this war today.
I believe we do have the support of the American people, and we have briefed regularly
what this mission looks like and why it's critically important that we undertake it
you don't care when the american people support this war
the american people are quite smart they understand and see through spin
they know that a regime that says depth to america
that seeks nuclear weapons your bitch your bitch
plenty of countries have people to say things about the united states america
we're the we're the number one superpower on the planet
okay your bitch this is bitch made straight up
burning billions of dollars assets
putting american lives a risk why because people said mean words about
america shut up
shut up
that's that's
totally ridiculous
all my god i can't believe they say death america that is real all know all
know what are we going to do like what are you talking about
what matters most in the circumstance
iranian government is actually ever presented a significant threat to the
United States of America and the reality is no they have not we have had
moments of diplomacy with Iran and that have been unbelievably effective those
moments have been unbelievably effective far more effective than what
Trump is trying to do right now as he is you know engaging in his favorite act
of money molestation oh they say dead to America so we have to like what do
what get our asses handed to us show the world that we don't have that
smoke, show the world that we don't have the military capability to defend our allies,
our security commitments, burn billions of dollars of assets in the region at the behest
of Israel. What kind of silly argument is this? They have nothing.
have nothing. This is not a media spin. Kirsten Gillibrand, despite, you know, being a vicious
Islamophobe, who I will never forgive her for saying the things that she said about Zoram
Amdani, is correct in this moment. If there's a cost-benefit analysis that's supposed to
made in this circumstance where it's like, was it worth it? It's not. And Americans are obviously
aware that it's not worth it, even with our lack of interest in the human death toll that we commit
overseas. We don't care about the destabilizing impact
of our actions. We don't care about what we do to other countries, but we do care about
how this impacts us. And it's clear that the overwhelming majority of Americans, 60% of
Americans think this war was not worth it. Why are we doing it? And they came to that conclusion
at a rapid pace. For those of you asking what Kirsten Gilliburne said about Zora Mamdani,
she called him a jihadist, an Islamist jihadist after he won the primary.
And the ability to kill us, did they lie about the range of their missiles?
Yeah, Pete Hexeth wasn't acting macho. He was playing a macho person on TV. He is not actually macho
We are dealing with a war that is failing on a daily basis as Donald Trump has taken
Because he was performing. It was a performance for Donald Trump
I mean, Donald Trump is very impressive. He's taken his two largest campaign promises
No new wars and lower prices, ending inflation, and he's messed both of them up
up. He started a new war that spiked inflation and now this war is actively failing. An interesting
statistic is that Americans have spent collectively 23 billion extra dollars on the gas pump and that's
money that could have gone towards daycare, towards childcare. We'll sit here and you'll laugh
at Americans spending money, but the reality is we are failing this war. The purpose of a war
is to extract political concessions from the enemy. Can you name a single political concession
we've gotten from them. Anything at all? Any political concessions? You can't name one.
So here's what we're doing. When you get up past your bed down, you get hyper. Here's the deal.
We have a clear issue here. Scott Jennings' entire job is to antagonize and annoy people
on these panels. He bullies them with regular frequency. I have noticed that he does this
It's a lot more frequently to the female panelists, to black and brown panelists as well, okay?
So when you got a white boy sitting next to him who actually fights back all of a sudden,
it's unacceptable, right?
His entire job is to rage bait the people on these panels.
He gets paid unbelievable amounts of money, okay?
Large sums of cash to do that, to eat Trump's dick on a daily basis on CNN panels
and rage bait people
he is an incredibly insincere person
so the one time where someone actually pushes back
and rage baits back at him
he loses control of the conversation he snaps
but yeah it was hilarious to watch regardless so shots out that a mocklip
for
you know putting belt pass
nuclear weapons
for the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world
period
full stop
the president believes and he may be right i spoke to a
a retired rear admiral today mark mcgomerate is at the foundation for
defensive of democracies
hot may think
the blood
foundation for defensive democracies fdd is benjamin enneows own personal
cutout think tank remember you know this already
he can get away with saying that at this panel potentially many people are
not going to push back on him for saying that
the immediate response that would be like also you talk to
one of the most loyal servants of of israel
uh... to to offer you what more analysis
uh... you and trump have that in common and look what that got us when trump
listens to the
foundation for defending it uh... democracy look at the situation where
now
but gay is actually more effective than the military campaign and a little
patience on the blockade here
where we cripple the iranian economy
where we kill their currency, which is happening as we speak, where we put pressure on China
because they need to get their oil flowing again.
A little bit of patience right here, not bombs, but patience on a naval blockade, could get
the outcome you want, which is no nuclear weapons for the largest state sponsor of terror.
You've been saying this for eight weeks, and we are now past the four to six-week
deadline.
Where is the enriched uranium right now?
It's under rubble.
Where is it right now?
In the United States or Iran?
Iran still has the enriched uranium.
They still have the scientists scattered across their country and they have all the blueprints in the cloud
You can sit there and act confused, but you can't name a single political concession. It's not already run
It's not over yet. Okay, but also on that fact the why are we talking about the strategy of this?
This isn't a legal war. This is
Cat is right by the way cat cooks a little bit here, too where she goes is illegal like
See in many circumstances the back and forth is limited to oh
Oh, this is not strategically viable. This is strategically viable from an America first perspective all this stuff, right?
where cat expands that conversation all of a sudden to
The the impact the impact that it's having around the globe the impact that it's having
In terms of the violations of international law the impact that is having in Iran
These are important considerations to make and yet in most circumstances
It's outside of the neat confines of permissible conversations to have on mainstream news.
So I'm glad that, uh, Kat is expanding on that.
We are turning our military into pirates.
We are seizing civilian vessels.
Additionally, sanctions Iranian vessels that have gone through a DOG process.
We are.
You can call piracy in like a, if we're, oh, oh, I didn't realize.
Oh, so we, we decide.
Yeah, it's not piracy if we if we decide that this is illegal got it, okay? So the
problem with the the other pirates is that they decided but when they decide
it's illegal for vessels to transit and and seize those ships and it's not
piracy either. What's the difference? This is what I mean this is chauvinism
okay this is American chauvinism is a Western chauvinism it's the notion
that we decided, not the international community, mind you, okay? It's not the
international community that decided that these vessels are illegally
shipping and selling oil to other countries. We did, and we control all
of the seas, okay? That's a ridiculous argument to make. What do you mean we
decided? Okay, Trump decided. Okay, the Treasury Department decided. Do you
know how easy it is to get a sanction on a company. You just literally write to the Treasury.
If you know enough people that work there, you can just get a sanction written off and
render this company illegal, okay? And then we just go there and we take over the ships.
This is how it works. Why do we decide? Does the international community have no say?
You can't have it both ways, right?
You can on the one hand say that America defends international law and free commerce around
the globe and then simultaneously justify piracy this way by saying, well, we decided, well,
guess what?
Iran decided the straight of Hormuz is closed and that they are going to operate a toll.
What now?
The law of the jungle only works if there's one hegemonic power that is choosing to write
the rules and violate them as they see fit and there's no one who can oppose the hegemonic
power.
If there are other great powers around the world like China or even Russia and now seemingly
Iran which is a regional power that is going to fight back and militarily take advantage
of the lack of international law or take advantage of the new reality that we've designed where
you know, might makes right. If they have enough might, seemingly they can cripple the global
energy markets. That's why we're in this problem to begin with. So do we go back to stability?
Do we go back to actually caring about international law by force? Because Iran is forcing our
hand to do so? Or do we lean in further and further and refuse to make concessions?
It's only piracy when they do it. It's not piracy when we do it. We have a legal process.
It doesn't mean anything. The legal process doesn't mean anything. The internal decisions that we
are making have no basis on international law. Okay? That's not how this works. And the only
reason that that is how it worked for the longest time is because no one else opposed us.
You sound just like the NATO Andes. Iran is no longer a regional player. What?
Iran, I don't think Iran is a global superpower. I think it's ridiculous to say that Iran is a global power.
Iran has the capacity to enforce its power or project its power to the rest of the globe.
rest of the globe, this is real, it's happening right now, but that doesn't mean that it is
a global superpower or a global power at all. It is a regional power. It can become a global
power one day, okay? But as it stands, it is a regional power. I think that's a fair
assessment to make.
I don't have any meaning, but like we have sanctions against these vessels and the US
U.S. sanctions can seize vessels. In some cases, the U.N. sanctions can seize vessels.
But one of the most egregious aspects of this...
Guys, a global power has the capacity to project its power around the globe.
Okay? Russia at least has AFRICOM, right? Like they have the Africa Corps,
the Wagner units in different places, right?
China has the capacity, doesn't ever really enforce it, but has the capacity to make
international decisions. Iran does not. Iran controls a strategic choke point which can have
global impact. But as it stands currently, they are capable of controlling this regional choke
point through asymmetric warfare. Okay, this is global power projection to a certain degree.
This is real, but regional powers can have global impact if they choose to enforce it, if they have the military might to enforce it.
Is the white Christian nationalist twist that Pete Hegseth has added onto this talk, saying that this conflict that we started, that we have sacrificed our own service members for, is ordained by God,
Is bombing a school full of schoolgirls ordained by God?
Is our prices going up and us not being able to afford an ambulance we call an Uber instead?
Is that ordained by God?
In 1983 I was in Beirut when the burning Corbarix was blown up by a suicide bomber sponsored by the Iranians.
Yeah, why'd that happen? Why'd that happen, Geraldo? Did that happen out of nowhere?
Was it a they hate us because they ain't us, Momin? Why did that happen?
again why did that happen also if you have to go all the way back to 1983 to
talk about like secondary like to talk about Iranian influence not even like a
direct act of violence that was that was determined by Iran or conducted by Iran
but instead a group that got logistical support from the Iranian
government conducting an act of what you call is an act of terror against
military barracks by the way
then it doesn't seem like there's an imminent threat
is there
now this is one of the major reasons why i think a lot of people in in both
mainstream news and also in the democratic party and certainly the
entirety of the republican party
perceive me as a threat because i say like what what do you think is there
a cause and effect here
why did that happen
First of all, calling it an act of terror on a military barracks is, is, uh, once again, really, uh, playing fast and loose with terrorism in general.
Is it a military target or is it a civilian target?
Okay.
It's like saying, oh, my poor baby was kidnapped from his IDF tank.
You can't kidnap someone from a tank.
Okay.
You can kidnap someone from their home.
You can have a civilian.
If you take a hostage, if it's a civilian, but if it's a uniform military member conducting
an act of violence inside of a 30 or $10 million Merkava tank, however much it costs, I don't
remember, then that's not a kidnapping.
That's taking a prisoner of war.
Okay?
If you're talking about military barracks being bombed, that's not an act of terror.
That's an act of war, okay?
That's an act of resistance against a military unit, a military unit that is participating
in acts of violence against, ironically enough, civilians, which of course is going
to invite response, militant response.
Those acts came after the Israeli occupation and acts of violence from the American military.
Okay?
Not 1983, bro.
230 Marines died.
That's awful.
That's terrible.
But that is nothing.
They also took out a couple of dozen at the...
Yeah.
It's not 1983.
So the imminence has gone away.
If you have to go all the way back to 1983 and to say, well, it was an Iranian-backed
instance of violence, think about all of the American acts of violence in the region against
Iran over and over again.
The Iran-Iraq war was American-backed violence against the state of Iran that came after
the nineteen eighty-three barracks
the american global war on terror was a direct act of violence against
every other country in the region
you at uh... u.s. embassy
we have a really tired
uh... you can't you can't make to them
you can't make
America blew up an airplane with civilians and never apologized for it.
I mean it's unbelievable the things that we've done
to the Iranian people, the things that we've done to the people of Iraq,
the things that we've done to the Shia population in Lebanon,
in Iraq as well,
and now in Iran too directly
and also indirectly
with our
loyal servants
in the region
is is unbelievable of course they say death to america
what matters not is what iran's uh... government says what matters is what
iran's government does
and the iranian government time and time again
has not only cooperated with the united states of america in its global war
on terror ironically enough going after daish al-qaeda and numerous other
uh... you know salafis jihadist groups
uh... that that america was tasked with uh... taking care of dealing
or maybe even using as a reason to invade these countries militarily
iran was always on america side in those endeavors
ironically enough
iran has also consistently tried to negotiate with the united states of
america engage in diplomacy with the united states of america time and time
again
to a degree that i would consider to be naive
and we still say forty seven years of of imminent grave threats from iran
we are the threat to iran and yet they still chosen to try to deal with us
through the negotiations process try to deal with us through diplomacy
saying this is not a defensive the irgc or saying this is not a defense of of
the iranian form of governance
okay just so you understand just so we're clear
saying this is just the defense of the truth
it's just the truth i'm just delivering to you the facts if that leads you to
think
maybe i was wrong about my assessment on iran
maybe we are the destabilizing factor here maybe israel is the destabilizing
factor here
you know
guess what you are now capable of thinking critically on these issues and
not just
mainlining pro-american propaganda
and and diluting yourself into thinking that we have to consistently wage
these destabilizing wars of choice, okay? But that, once again, is the real threat.
They don't want you to hear these sorts of things. They don't want you to hear
this perspective that is not even an alternative perspective, but just a
accurate assessment of the things that have taken place.
They want you to be propagandized and sedated.
They want you to either not think about all of the things that we're doing over there,
or they want you to think that it's just we're doing it for some good purpose, for
some just cause.
America engages in unbelievable acts of violence, but we're the world's police at the end
of the day and we have to do it because why? Because our enemies are barbaric monsters.
They're Islamist fundamentalists. They're crazy. They can't be reasoned with. They only understand
violence. They're a violent people, right? And that's the racism. That's the racism
that is necessary. That's the Islamophobia that's necessary for you to get on board
with these sorts of actions. That's the dehumanization that you have to embed in your mind so that
you can feel a little bit more comfortable even if you do pay attention to what we're
doing over there, okay?
Them, you know, suddenly a victim.
Okay, the real question is what have we got?
I think I actually think the school children are victims. I think the civilians that are
dead are victims.
But tell us about them.
Yeah, I do, but I do think.
the school children are victims but so are the marines
i mean under international law
there is a distinction between school children
going to school
and getting blown up and killed in the process
verses marines
that are
sitting inside of a marine barrack
uh... marine barracks in a totally separate foreign country
that has its own
paramilitary formation
born out of necessity because of the invasion that's taking place because of the occupation that's
taking place that that ends up engaging in a in a militant response against the the
allied forces of a foreign occupant okay
and even then that's in 1983 what are we talking about
You're going back to 43 years ago and re-running the propaganda from that point in time to justify
the new versions of violence that we're committing directly against the Iranian population.
to be clear. I mean, obviously, Marines being killed is terrible. School children being killed
is terrible, but there's a big difference between Iran willfully bombing, you know,
US military targets and the United States bombing a school.
St. Louisian. Go ahead and come see you tonight. Currently getting dark part of the St. Louis
subreddit for defending you, Law. I mean, what do you say to people in the St. Louis
to celebrate it. It turns out most people don't even want to come here. I am here and they're
still yelling at me. Like, okay, when do you ever go on these? They don't invite me to
go on these. And I do think that it would be somewhat controversial for Abby Phillips
to have me on one of these, especially because this is like the premier debate show that
they have on and Jake Tapper and Dana Bash are two of the the biggest anchors
on the network and they obviously have made it clear that they find me to be a
dangerous radical. Just checked and they don't like Corey so that explains it.
Oh okay. Do they like Wesley Bell? Do they like the Apex douche that is Wesley
Bell? What greatness has he brought to the people of St. Louis? What greatness
as he brought to the state of Missouri. I just don't understand. You can have your disagreements
with politicians. You can think, oh, they didn't do this, they did that instead, whatever. But
like how could you personally recognize that a foreign country's lobbying arm directly
bought this seed. And you can be comfortable with that. Even if you don't appreciate Corbush,
which I do, I think she's wonderful, okay? But even if you have disagreements with her,
like there's no question, there's no question that at least she's unbought and she's
not a stooge for a foreign country.
She's from your community.
She wants to do what's right.
She wants to do her best for her constituents.
Wesley Bell does not care about any of those things and he's shown that he doesn't care
about any of those things.
He brutalized people that showed up to his town hall.
He stopped doing town halls altogether.
he is an empty suit
some comments are on board we need to get rid of was the bell and willing to
work with whatever tools
uh... i'm given in that regard
people in missouri are fucking dumb because the vote against our own interest
literally every time source born in living in
uh... st louis
well
it's just like even even people who who
are not the most educated,
still understand what they're getting fucked, okay?
You're getting fucked by a foreign country.
It's now your choice to make that decision
on whether you wanna continue getting fucked
or to fight back against this.
Well, and then not acknowledging it,
which is a its own separate problem,
but the school children are civilians.
They're civilians point blank.
They should never be targeted.
We are, according to some people,
already at the 60-day mark of this war.
And technically, they're supposed to come to Congress on it.
Keith Henseth was questioned about this today.
Listen to this.
The War Powers Resolution specifies
that a war initiated by a president
without congressional approval must be concluded
within 60 days.
Ultimately, I would defer to the White House and White House
Council on that.
However, we are in a ceasefire right now,
which our understanding means the 60-day clock
pauses or stops in a ceasefire so i i don't know it
that's it's our understanding to see you know okay why i do not believe this
that you would support that
that was essentially how the obama administration interpreted the statue
of the republicans disagreed with it at the time
one hundred percent, I think it would be clear
good act of constitutional hygiene and and it's not you need to conclude within
sixty days you need to conclude or have authorization by from congress within
sixty days exactly so they could come to congress and get authorization why
Or they could challenge the statute, which as somebody who has either sponsored legislation to repeal or reform every extent
authorization for the use of military force and to reform war powers more broadly. I also have to confess the War Powers Act of
1974 the constitutional underpinnings of that are
shaky. It may not hold up.
Maybe so, but it's the law of the land and it hasn't been, it has not been.
Congress has the power of the purse and this is the reality is that if Congress continues to authorize
the Department of War, if they continue to pass the National Defense Appropriations Act, they continue to do that.
They're not going to shoot down the defense act on the basis of a war that Donald Trump is having.
I'm going to shoot down all of our defendants.
The National Defense Act comes up once a year.
I think it's probably this year.
It's usually toward the end of the year.
They're also requesting a supplemental.
Right. They're requesting a supplemental, but they haven't actually done that fully yet.
And I do think it raises the question do they just get to pause this thing whenever they feel like it even though
There is an active blockade and a blockade involves you the US military threatening with force
But if any of work, yeah, it is considered an active war. So how does that not count?
I think that that interpretation however is subject to reasonable
really I
Mean these guys are supposed to be more reasonable than Trump right and it's so interesting that they're their arguments basically
reduced to exactly what Trump is saying and doing. Like everyone, everyone turns
into Trump when they want to defend Trump's actions. If Trump's actions are
in line with the American military industrial complex, then you know it's
it's ultimately somewhat reasonable. I mean I guess like we just don't like
the way he's talking. We don't like the way he speaks on these issues but
like what he's doing, we do like, we appreciate. Yeah. There's two parties, but there's only
one foreign policy. You're right, Chatter.
Acceptance interpretation. If indeed there is a ceasefire, don't you want to encourage
the ceasefire? You want to encourage this piece of...
Yeah, but there's also a naval blockade, which is by definition not a ceasefire.
But also, we're talking legalities when it comes to war powers and all this. This
This is bird law, right? It is not governed by reason. You know, you can't get...
No, no, it's always something that will help advance here. Come on, try not to take it back.
Wait, wait, wait. What do you mean by bird law? Just...
We try to apply like normal rhetoric, normal logic, normal, like, dictionary definitions.
As we do in a democracy, like, we're not Iran. We don't get to just like ignore the law
and the international legal repercussions here.
We're talking about that. What international legal repercussions?
Oh, we're not Iran. We don't get to deny international law. It's really interesting. Once again, this is supposed to be the critical take, right?
The critical approach to Donald Trump's assessment here. Iran, between the United States and America and Iran, and this is going to be, again, something that might shock the conscience of many people, okay?
many americans
iran is the stable actor here
everything that iran is engaged in
it's engaged in an act of self-defense
iran has followed american israel at the escalation ladder
iran is not instigated anything america has the only thing iran has
instigated is negotiations
which america has now twice
taken advantage of to attack iran
okay
so no we aren't like iranians in the sense
because iran is actually a stable actor
iran is a regional actor
iran has well-defined goals
one of which is obviously maintaining sovereignty
this is a perfectly understandable goal for any state
so no we're not like iran at all because we're the ones who are violating
international law over and over again but because international law
is is designed almost entirely by the west
a concept that the west
and the most powerful western country the united states america has
has utilized to bully other countries smaller nations nations of the periphery
over and over again
that we don't even have that understanding where we're like what do you
mean we're not like a wrong
violated national law we have been
and we've certainly done that here
in broad daylight in the most flagrant manner
for a crush international law who's enforcing a lot of the pressure here
us
we are the aggressor i guess you're on
by the way she's one hundred percent right and it's so funny
to see
a panel comprised
not one not to but three conservatives right
you have former republican from michigan
former republican congressperson michigan sitting right next to cat
on the other side you have heraldor of era
fox news anchor again republican lifelong republican
and then you have scott jennings again pro trump stooge so there's varying
degrees of like conservatism being
uh... demonstrated
on the panel
abbey philips is supposed to be the the you know the unbiased liberal
voice right and even then she has these is similar implicit biases the
similar hang-ups when it comes to international law
and when it comes to foreign adversaries
and i guess you have mokler who uh... i don't know what his assessment is
uh... ultimately he hasn't really said too much yet in his going to start popping
off here
uh... in a second
cat up was out like is the long voice of truth on this panel it's
unbelievable
that you can have
one person
say the correct things
say the objective truth on this panel
but because everyone's understanding is that america's always good
and all of our enemies are always bad
it's met with unbelievable resistance
heraldos not a lifelong republican he was once a young lord okay i apologize
heraldos a fox news commentator has become
a a long-standing republican commentary person right is that is that
appropriate and i say that
Heraldo's job is to be the reasonable Republican, the voice of reason, but he's still a conservative.
Or, yes, just because Heraldo exists.
Did all of US history exist before the last eight weeks to you, or just...
It did. It did. It certainly did.
Like with Juan Gonzalez. Yes, Juan Gonzalez obviously is not a conservative, though. I'm just...
What the hell is a young lord? Young lords are a political organization that was Latino
that was basically the Black Panther Party before Latinos. Juan González is one of the
founders, my goat who's on democracy now and they're a great movement. But just like
with the Black Panther Party obviously there are people who then you know turned
conservative or turned into neoliberals like this just that's just what
happens okay they have been at war with us yeah Puerto Ricans we all know that
Scott Jennings is more than happy to defend a war with the country that
starts with the letters IRA that we are currently failing that is gonna put us
trillions and trillions of dollars more in debt I was only a few years old
while you were in the administration defending prior endless wars now this
war is failing. Okay you said it was going to be 4 to 6 weeks. I debated you on TV 4
to 6 weeks ago and you said we were weeks away from it. Now you're making condescending
remarks because you can't defend the fact that this war is not going your way. Wait
one more time. Not going? Not going? One political concession. Okay get your fucking
hand out of my face. God damn he shattered his frame dude. Oh my god. Look at his
face. Look, he's so excited. He's like, Oh, I got him.
Include her.
You're a baby. You're a baby, Scott. You're a baby. Frame mocked.
One frame frame destroyed. Adam Mogler comes out. Takes the W here.
Unbelievably satisfying moment. Okay. Scott Jennings entire job is to
antagonize everyone on that panel bully them okay yell at them and and say
heinous things all of a sudden when you get a little bit of pushback boom not
going your way wait one more time not going one political concession you're
a whole-ass adult man Adam is basically a child he's like what 20 22 23 years
old you've been a professional pundit for for as long as Adam has been a
alive. Okay. And you're out here losing your dang mind. Tremendous
spiking cortisol levels here in real time. Exceptional.
Yeah. And then he goes to the cries of the referee, mods, mods. Do
Do you see the act of violence that this young boy, 40 years younger than me, is engaging
in, or 30 years younger than me is engaging in?
Did you see that violence?
He violently gestured in my direction, mods.
Okay.
No, everybody calm down, okay?
We're having a debate.
You can respond to the points that he's making.
Can you name a political concession that we've got?
flashback to the workbook the war they skinheads had in my studio i would be
not a lot of people i would be not a lot of people we have a very simple we have a
very simple goal to keep terrorists in a terrorist regime from having a nuclear
weapon that can threaten the united states our interest in the region our
allies in europe anybody else you can't answer the question that is that is
how to get mad to you know leave it there guys hey there i'm harry and then
Yeah, the war is not going the way that he wanted it to by the way. Yeah, it's got jenny's claim back on his face
Watch what actually happened in the full scene of segment. He throws a personal jab then folds the second he gets pressed
Scott loves the dish, but can't take it
Yeah
He also they also had a private conversation as well apparently but I don't know if Adam has talked about it or not
So I'm not at liberty to discuss but all I will say is this okay
These guys
These reactionaries they're all the same
Okay
You give a little bit of pushback to them a
Fraction of what they do on a daily basis and they fold. Okay. They lose their dang minds
This is exactly the energy that we should be taking
To our conversations you're doing a media appearance if you have politicians
You should be demand if you're talking to politicians if you're you know talking them at their town halls
demand that they also behave in a similar manner. Fight back. Because at the end of the day, they're weak.
Their strength projection only comes from the fact that they are so used to dominating the discourse,
dominating the field, bullying every liberal who just cowers away, and they're like,
Oh, God, please, please don't say anything but mean to me.
I'm so sorry.
I will concede ahead of time.
I will give into your demands.
But the moment that you say, no, this is ridiculous.
What concessions have we extracted from Iran?
This war effort is not going in your way.
The, this war effort is not, uh, taking shape in the way that you
claimed it would four weeks ago.
He loses his damn mind.
There's opportunity here, right-wingers are not used to this kind of pushback.
So there's tremendous opportunity here.
With a little bit of retaliation, you can reach maximum results.
something to consider, something to remember.
War is apparently overchecked just in.
The Trump administration officially tells Congress the war against Iran is over, AP reports.
Oh nice.
I guess it's done then.
I guess the naval blockade is open too.
Anyway, let's take a look at the top eight Trump GOP voter groups that are still holding
strong by Harry M. Donnelly.
They're still holding strong for Trump's GOP.
And we're going to do so using.
We did it and at the end, we're going to have a little bit of bonus for you.
But without further ado, let's start off with group number eight.
We are talking about white evangelicals.
Of course, they are a very important part of the GOP coalition and take a
look at their choice for the election back in October of 2024.
When it was Harris versus Trump, Trump is getting 71% of their vote
according to a Fox News poll back in October of 2024.
And look at where we are now.
We're talking about the 2026 race for Congress.
Republicans getting a very similar share.
We're talking about 69% of the vote among white evangelicals.
So very similar to what we saw back in 2024.
But it doesn't just end there, baby.
What we're talking about as well,
when we're talking about the core GOP groups,
how about those who self-identify as Republicans, baby?
Look at this.
I mean, this is support.
This is what we're talking about.
We're talking about 92%.
That is the share of the vote that House Republicans
are getting right now among GOP voters.
That's basically the same, baby.
That's basically the same as Trump was getting back
in October of 2024 when he was getting 94%.
This is well within the margin of error.
The bottom line is this, for all that talk,
all that talk about Republicans abandoning Trump
and abandoning the GOP,
it simply put does not hold when you match up the GOP's running for the house against
the Democrats running for the house of representatives.
Now another group that I just think is so interesting because this is a group that is
actually going Democratic, but what we saw was Democrats did very poorly, very poorly,
at least historically speaking, among black voters back in 2024, Kamala Harris was leading
amongst them in October of 2024 by 59 points.
And guess what?
Although Democrats are winning them,
but it's only by a slightly wider margin.
Only a slightly wider margin, 62 points,
compared to Kamala Harris back in October of 2024.
So what we're essentially seeing is,
Democrats had historically poorly
for the worst in a generation
among black voters back in 2024.
And it does not seem like they're recovering
all that much ground.
So this is the sixth group that we're looking at.
What about group number five?
I feel like Casey Case and coming in at number five,
are we talking about? How about white women? This is a very key group. This is a swing vote. This is
a swing vote. And take a look at the choice for the election among white women. In October of 2024,
Trump was getting 51% of that vote. Look at this. White women basically are staying the same.
There hasn't been much of a shift at this point in terms of the vote for Congress. Look at
this. House Republicans getting 49% of that vote. This is also part of the reason why I kept
saying like Democrats shouldn't feel super confident. If you recall, in the last couple
of months, I've talked about how Democrats are behaving like, you know, well, Trump is
really unpopular and obviously where the opposition party people have no choice but to vote
as a protest vote against the current administration and therefore will secure easy victories.
But the reality is, if you look at the actual approval ratings of the National Democratic
Party and the National Republican Party, that hasn't really shifted all that much.
People don't like Donald Trump, but they single out Donald Trump as this like unreasonable
actor, but they don't see the rest of the Republican Party as loyal servants of Donald
Trump, ironically enough, even though that is the case.
And I think a part of the reason why is because the Democrats have not been as active as they
should have been for the last two years.
Trump has been engaging in increasingly more maddening endeavors, molesting the money,
both with his tariffs regime, destroying the federal regulatory agencies, engaging
in graft, rank corruption, in broad daylight, many members of his administration have done
so.
with the exception of like John Ossoff and maybe a couple others, are not even communicating
how indecent and how ridiculous this stuff is. At most, the biggest battle that they
waged against Donald Trump was USAID cuts. And sure, USAID cuts have been unbelievably
devastating for all of these other underserved communities, underserved countries, nations
and the periphery that were relying on, you know, medical aid that we were offering
by way of USAID. Okay, USAID also has his downsides. I've talked about it endlessly. I'm not going
to get into that. But the fact that the biggest battle that the Democrats in unison engaged
with the Trump administration was USAID cuts is unfuckin' believable. Folding on the
government shutdown. Again, unbelievable. RIP USA, you did so much for the CIA. Sure,
I mean, that's true, right? But there's also a lot of harm that comes from shutting off
the money faucet to all of the humanitarian aid that USA had offered many countries and
African continent in the global south in general. But the reason why I say the Democratic party's
focus on USAID cuts was silly is because like most Americans don't care. It's not even like a
salient policy disagreement. If you were to ask most Americans like do you think we should be
spending billions of dollars on foreign aid, they would say fuck no, spend it on ourselves.
I personally don't have an issue with it. Okay? I personally don't have an issue with it, especially
if it's good, if it's necessary, uh, if it's, if it's worthwhile, even if it still ends up, uh,
working in, uh, at the behest of American empire, right? This guy is so fake. LaMau says,
Gobi loves Fimdom, cringe, larper.
Okay. Looks like Mario, ha ha ha.
What?
Are you writing in the right chat?
I
Swar what the fuck I
Don't even know if I should read that is he saying I'm swarthy swardoid
You look like a homo
You keep talking like that. I'm gonna be responsible for your father's first gay awakening. Okay?
Again, this is well within the margin of error. Very little movement. When you can turn it on one hand, you know it's a little movement.
One, two, maybe the slightest bit towards the Dems, but Republicans still very much in the game with white women who of course are such an important part of the electorate.
So this is group number five. What about group number four? All right. How about voters making above $50,000 income? This is a very important group in the electorate.
This is the majority of voters in the electorate. Take a look here. You thought two points was a lot of movement? How about one point in terms of movement?
Back in October of 2024, Donald Trump was getting 51% of the vote.
Today? Look at this. House Republicans basically the same.
Basically the same. We're talking about 50% and of course income
in class has become such a big dividing line in our politics these days.
And when you see Republicans holding strong with this...
I think the Dems will do better because the CNN polls saying people who don't like both parties will vote against whoever is in charge.
Yeah.
No, for sure, the double haters.
The double haters who don't like the Democrats, who don't like the Republicans, are still
going to swing in the direction of the opposition party, the direction of the party that's
not Donald Trump, right?
And that's what the Democrats are relying on to eke out marginal victories all around
the country, which I think is unbelievably stupid, unbelievably short-sighted.
There's a real opportunity here to make significant changes.
And that's why I'm working as hard as I am to try to make that necessary change within
the makeup of the party and by force make the National Democratic Party more responsive.
Chatter-tag doing a pre-election, Bulwark take that is laughably insane.
They learn nothing and will continue to turn Dems into Romney 2012.
This is one of our colleagues made this point to me yesterday that it's kind of
extraordinary that the Harris campaign is basically closing with the bulwark like it's
the closing messages are basically targeted for the kind of people who read like the bulwark
very centrist very moderate i like that they're at least honest this is right before the election
though so they probably thought that this was going to secure a w which is why they were very
confident and did not shy away from saying that like Kamala is listening to us, right?
I was on the other side going, Kamala is listening to them.
She shouldn't.
And we now know which side was correct, right?
This is precisely what I mean when I say, if you want to defeat fascism in this country,
If you see the growth of fascism in this country on the Republican Party side, okay, you have
to do more than just like lean into some of the fascist notions.
You definitely shouldn't lean into any of the fascist notions from a moral standard anyway.
But there is no electoral purpose for it regardless.
We've seen it time and time again.
Like really, these guys have no motion.
Why do you watch them?
Oh my God.
Buddy.
Buddy.
I need you to understand something. They have unbelievable motion within the power centers. Okay, that's it
That's that's my argument. My argument is that these guys have tremendous sway amongst the consultant class
They have tremendous there's so much sway that Kamala Harris
Basically redesigned her entire campaign off of their demands
It's not about real people watching the bulwark. It's not about real people reading the bulwark. It's not about those numbers.
If that was the case, then I would have the most motion out of most media outlets. I would have maximum motion, right?
I don't think Jake Tapper is capable of convincing hundreds of under-35ers to go out and doorknock for a specific candidate.
candidate. That's not going to happen, right? That's kind of the problem here
that mainstream media and even sometimes independent media comprised entirely of
former mainstream institutionalists are not responsive to the needs and the
demands of the public. And they are the ones that they are the people that
the party consultants and individuals within the party system are paying close attention to.
So in that regard, they have unbelievable motion. You're hearing them talk about it right now.
They're like, wow, Kamala Harris listened to every single thing that we demanded of her.
Good stuff in that way. And that's kind of extraordinary and gratifying, which is nice,
I think for us it also makes me a little nervous because like if it doesn't work
Does that mean it's on us?
No, I mean the reason that they're
No
Doing it the way yeah heads heads. I win tails you lose. No, of course not. Yes
Kamala Harris has listened to every single thing that we have said
As we are admitting and we're celebrating because we think she's gonna win
But if she loses it's not on us either. It's because she was a woke libtard
that they're doing it is because the data shows that that's what they should be doing right like they're looking
Yeah, no the dead. It wasn't showing that by the way
The data wasn't showing that that's why she lost
Was actually crazy here by the way is is that there was no like reflection
That this failure only
reconfirmed their priors, right? They got everything that they wanted, and then they
said, well, no, the data is showing that, and that's why we arrived at these conclusions.
We didn't arrive at these conclusions because of some ideological zealotry. We arrived at
these conclusions because we poured through the data. Well, I guess I must have been looking
at some other data, and it turns out the data I was looking at was right, and the
data you were looking at was wrong. So, did you maybe take a deep breath, take
a couple steps back and say, hey, how do we get this so wrong?
Or did you continue advancing the same agenda that the Democrats need to be more moderate,
the Democrats need to consistently pivot to the center as the Republican Party has
gone further and further right, creating this ratchet effect where the center is
slammed to the right, if not the far right at this point?
at their own data that is saying, hey, about half of what's available and left are these
center-right voters. That's not true. That was never true.
Not convincing. Get on the line. It is, it just so happens, it is our cohort of people, but like,
they're not listening to us to make that decision. They made that decision because their data
shows that it's the right thing to do. So yeah, they said that apparently here's the next
part of the conversation where Bulwark ponders about how it would be possible for Harris
to lose Michigan. Partly the conversation between bulwark's personality about Harris using Eminem
and St. Claude Posse as Sergius. They're track young men in Michigan. Conversation continues
about Eminem as a campaign surrogate on the Harris campaign and effectiveness of Trump's
McDonald's stunt. Miller on being laid to James Carl's birthday. Okay, whatever. This
is like before the election, they're having a conversation about like the impact that
they've had on the campaign and how wonderful it's been. I will at least readily admit
Tim Miller on the other hand is a little bit more responsive. Okay. Tim Miller on the other
hand is at least like a demon of the internet. So he, he, he sees the way the winds are blowing.
Okay. So I guess he went on this podcast with, uh, Hutch Pisco, the soy pill who I've, I don't
think I've ever seen until this day. I've only seen like the, the drawn image of him.
And this is like a like a liberal back-and-forth, right? This is there. This is like the the prime
Liberal fuck Hassan headquarters. Pisco is not a fuck Hassan guy. I think soy pill might be I don't know
But as you guys know hutch has famously said
Hutch has famously said he would rather vote for Jeffrey Epstein
Instead of me
Yeah, so we've got a ton of discourse in our spaces in recent
And so this is new. This is Tim Miller thinking about like the fuck-a-san discourse and what
that has created recently, I assume.
Kind of weak. Some of it has related to the-san, but it's more been about like a bigger conversation
about the future of the Democratic Party. You're obviously like a Republican defector,
and so I'm curious to know what you think should be the playbook for Democrats in
the short term to sort of maximize electoral wins and also like what you personally
want to see and do those things overlap.
Can I just say one of the undistinguished Hassan briefly, when I engaged in that discourse
very early, which in retrospect was going to be a mistake because I heard the hell that
I know that it's all everybody want to talk about for weeks.
But one of the points I made when I first engaged with it is that like the establishment
Republicans, excuse me, the establishment Democrats, and talking about the Freudian
side, the establishment Democrats that are going after him were like stepping on a big
rake.
Like this was a massive cell phone, like putting out a memo that's like people shouldn't
talk to Hassan is going to absolutely backfire on them. And, you know, the base are like the
active democratic voter. It's not does not want that. And, you know, there's some category
of people to do, but if anything, it will end up empowering him more to like as an
anti establishment figure who's fighting them, because that's what people are looking
for right now. Look at your partner and Janet Mills. And, and that's exactly what's
happened. And it was really dumb of the third way to do it. This is a strategic
matter. Yeah, it was. And that's precisely the reason why I welcomed it. I said they're united in
their hatred of me and I welcome their hatred, FDR. Tim Miller at least understood that. He also
understood that one of the key problems with the National Democratic Party that led to their demise
against the incompetent tyrannical fascist Donald Trump the second time around was their
inability to address the popular sentiment that was growing at the time, that was the
just sentiment, that was the moral sentiment, that was the moral center of the party, or
at least the base of support within the party, and now the entire nation, which was Israel,
okay?
Holding Israel accountable, stopping Israel's genocide.
refusal to recognize that was what led to their refusal to recognize that is what led to their demise,
what led to the electoral defeat. Now, Tim has also recognized that I have credibility
in this space. You know, I never shied away from offering my perspective. I got endlessly yelled at
for it in many instances by people that are either on this panel or people that agree with
people on this panel. But the reality was I was correct and therefore now I have that
legitimacy in this space, because I've been an advocate in this space for many many years.
Those very same Democrats do not have that legitimacy.
They do not have that credibility in this space.
So for them to like consistently attack me, for them to consistently turn around and
attack me and say, oh, Issaan is wrong, Issaan is wrong, and you shouldn't listen
to him.
He's dangerous, radical.
people don't look at that and go okay I guess the son is wrong we're gonna move
on we're gonna find a different anti-Israel voice most people look at
that and go oh here they go again being fucking pro-Israel and in many respects
that is the case
Israel first is the determining reason for why they consider to me they
consider me to be a dangerous radical okay like the the Sarah Longwells of
world or all these other people that have written endless articles
are worried about the democratic party
uh... having to take a close look at what the people are demanding what the
base is demanding what
uh... what the role i play
in being a megaphone for this base
so it doesn't work my thinking
and i feel like i i have good credibility on this because like when i'm about to
suggest the democrats do because against like what my personal political preference
would be you know if i could wave a magic wand to make somebody president i would
want like jared polis or somebody like that who has no
no oh jared polis god damn you have a magic wand you're gonna put jared polis in there
jesus christ viability is a national figure um but i think that uh the democrats need to
put forth a candidate. He said, I want a Redditor president. Goddamn.
I guess we're doing this in a 2028 context, but even in statewide candidates and federal level,
who has some distance from the Clinton, Biden, Harris triumvirate. And like, they need some
distance from them. And it needs to be like comprehensible and understandable to people,
to dum-dums, like what the difference is. And I think probably it is a little bit more
economic populism, what that exactly looks like, I think is up to the person, but mostly
it as that they need to offer a critique of the Democratic Party establishment for being
too cozy with corporate interests and saying that they're going to fight it at some level.
Some of those proposals will be very stupid, but like there are some that are good and
I think that the framing is more important than the actual follow.
I like that. Tim has finally arrived at just fake it. Tim has arrived at just like
just fake being a populist please like just lie and say you're going to do this because
it's very clear that that's what the public wants. It's very clear where the public appetite
is right now. And it's true, and they definitely see it. And I will use as a jump off point
to talk about Liz Smith, who is working with the Mallory McMorrell campaign against Abdelaw
Sayed, what she's been doing. The establishment of the Democratic Party is so unbelievably
unpopular, that Mallory McMurray privately went to Chuck Schumer and had a closed door
meeting.
We don't know what that conversation looked like, but Mallory McMurray has been openly
saying Chuck Schumer has to go.
He has to be replaced.
And yet Chuck Schumer, recognizing that Haley Stevens, the other Apex douche in this
race, has no real viability and no real popularity, has quietly lent support to Mallory McMurray.
And that's part of the reason why I think you're seeing a lot more Democratic senators
and the DSCC, the defunding arm of the Democratic Senate work alongside Mallory McMorris now.
Well, Mallory McMorris and Liz Smith by the media demon behind Mallory McMorris campaign
basically lie about Abdel El Sayed's position.
i don't know why they're doing a full court press on this
is as i said here this is the funniest thing to lie about
but this is breaking political reports in either haley
for michigan haley stevens
nor obdlesi will join malry mcmaro in opposing schumer for leader
even more progressive candidates like alcider struggling with how to answer
the shimmer question last april as mcmaro insisted that the question
leader besides schumer alcide said
anybody who tells you that they're going to unilaterally oppose one
potential candidate without knowing who the alternative is is either on the
answer on sophisticated so i want to know who is available who's actively
seeking the leadership i'll make a decision from there
in recent days i'll say this loaded senator chris van holland of maryland
as a potential leader
so has else i had thinking of all since last year or does he stand by
saying she were doesn't necessarily need to go
a spokesperson wouldn't quite say i'll do deeply believes that washington
should let michigan voters decide on this primary rather than putting their
thumb on the scale it's not about who opposed humor it's about who she
Schumer opposes. Now, the reason why they said that is because Chuck Schumer opposes
Abdul al-Said. Al-Said has also said he wants Van Hollen. He wants Chuck Schumer replaced
with Van Hollen. So he has already made his position be very well known. Chuck Schumer,
on the other hand, has lent a lot of support to Hailey Stevens in the beginning and
then has said he would be comfortable quietly though because he recognized how unpopular he is
quietly has revealed this was also reported in political that he'd be fine with Mallory McMorrow
as well so it's really interesting that these guys also are now these guys that have always been
servants of the establishment. You know, Liz Smith is a former Cuomo and Pete Buttigieg ally
is now aligned with Mallory McMoron. This race is working, I think, working. I don't know if
they're publicly working, but it's very clearly she is an ally to Mallory McMoron in this race.
Also recognize how unpopular Chuck Schumer is,
And they're trying to present themselves as anti-establishment.
But I think this will backfire once again, because McMorrah was trying to be the Goldilocks
candidate, right?
The one that's more moderate, but also has some progressive bona fides, bona fides, whatever.
Okay?
But that shows inconsistency.
And perhaps that's the honest assessment to make here regardless, right?
It is inconsistent.
You come across like an empty suit when you do this.
When you present yourself in your positions as both being anti-establishment but also
So for establishment politics, voters don't know what to make of you.
Do you have an ideal can for 2028?
I don't know.
I hate that question.
It's too far out.
Yeah.
He is working behind the scenes with Majority Democrats, a group that is also attacking
Abdul today.
Majority Democrats who are working with Elisa Slotkin and other centrist Democrats as well.
But what's really funny about it is that, again, these guys are a part of the establishment
wing of the party.
and yet they are trying to present themselves as being against Chuck Schumer.
That is a recognition that the establishment has lost the battle so much that they have
to face their own unpopularity and present their pro-establishment candidates as being
against the establishment.
Yeah, look, and Umich Voter is another one of these guys who's not even from Michigan
apparently, but loves Michigan. He fucking votes in New Jersey, but he, he sure spends
a good deal of time talking about Michigan, specifically a McMorah ally. Mason presses
this notion that Abdul was ever less adversarial Schumer than McMorah was insane. Look, Shannon
Watts, Hey Chuck Schumer, it's your time to shine.
So let this race out. Uh, the party and country can't afford to lose the Senate
seat. This is when Schumer quietly signaled that he would be okay with state Senator
mallor mcmorrow in the u.s. senate over establishment favor hailey stevens
mcmorrow is one of the several democrats running across the country
denotion that i'll do is ever less adversarial shumer the mcmorrow's
insane she shimmers number two pic
and that has been public for a while much like of those disapproval of shumer
he didn't answer the question mister litmus test can't answer the question
i don't know why they're trying to hit this line
it is just a very interesting thing
it's a very interesting lie to tell
who who can you convince with this
the anti-shumer voters are going to go for obdul anyway because he's presenting
himself as a as a disruptor he's presenting himself as an insurgency
uh... as an insurgent candidate that is
a left-flank candidate malry mcmarron the other hand
is doing the elizabeth warren pick up being like uh... a spoiler
said disrupt their candidacy.
I guess the reason why they came out with this full court press today though
is because of the Plattener victory. The Plattener victory over
Janet Mills completely solidified the the appetite that the Democratic Party's
base has for anti-establishment candidates, for
bernie crats for for left-ranked candidates in particular
okay
no colvin says the mcmorrow campaign is so stretched to find things that
differentiate their cookie cutter candidate than the new line is this
just lie
even though outside already suggested a shumer replacement isn't it easier to
sell ambiguity when there isn't any
flagrantly silly accusations of anti-semitism this jockeying to appear
more anti shumer than the guy shumer most wants to run out of dodge
it's like they're making the entire mcmorrow campaign out
of that humiliating last gasp of the war in twenty twenty and t bernie
lying list is not all went
remember when
list met that every ivy educated political journals in the country to
believe that people which is really spoke a dozen languages
getting people to only look at the surface of the things
so as to ignore any substance underneath is how list
makes her bag
like a and by the way list myth does have uh... tremendous
tremendous influence over media
i will readily admit that as a matter of fact i think part of the reason why
zoran didn't get asked blasted as hard
is because less myth kinda like zoran
or at least like morris cats and i think they still
uh... like one another
okay this is a little bit inside baseball for you guys morris cats is that
uh... did the young twenty six-year-old fight agency guy
uh... that that a lot of people uh... uh... say was uh... you know
uh... fairly
uh... important in those are victory he he works with uh... grand planner was
a tom steyer as well
and now he's work they're working with the green party in the u k two
now they're not ideologically at minded all of them at that there's some great
people that work there
uh... at the end of the eights and ad agency right they do great consultant
uh... consultant work
uh...
all of that aside
uh... all of that stuff aside
uh... you know that
leesmith is uh... is a key figure in especially the new york media
circle it's very
uh... incestuous relationship that they have over there they're very
uh...
like the the personal relationships that you have with uh... members of the
media especially the key figures editors and whatnot
is very significant in the kind of coverage that you get
and i think that's part of the reason why i suspect uh... of the will never
really got the shine that he deserved in the beginning of the candidacy and then they
made a big mistake by attacking me as a vector to attack Abdul in a not-so-subtle Islamophobic
campaign where they tried to like terror jacket myself and Abdul al-Said which then backfired
because then that led to a lot of coverage on Abdul al-Said which led people to engage
campaign, try to figure out what his positions are, and they liked what they heard.
So I think this will have a similar impact as well.
It will lead people into questioning why McMorris is trying to present herself as this anti-establishment
candidate and position herself as different than I'll be able to say at when he is the
true anti-establishment pick.
This is a race where people are looking for an anti-establishment candidate, okay?
Like if McMorah's your lady, then you should just, then it should just trouble you that
this is her political judgment, pivoting the lying, Lisbeth is lying on Abdul's name,
like he's a Cuomo victim, says Mason Pressler, yeah.
This also, once again, is a big mistake from the McMorah campaign.
I'm not trying to give them advice here, okay?
But the reason why people like these insurgent candidacies
is not necessarily because of who they're against.
They're against the Republicans, everybody knows that,
they're against the Democrats, the establishment Democrats,
people know that.
But they're also for something, okay?
They ride for certain policies.
They defend certain positions in an uncompromising manner.
And that's what's also important,
saying that you will hold Israel accountable, saying that you will force a arms embargo,
saying that you want to punish the administration for its corruption.
These are things that people want to hear, okay?
And if you can communicate that earnestly, then you're going to win these races.
Anyway, let's get back to Donald Trump's abysmal approval ratings, even though there are some
in his base that are still holding strong group
those making about fifty thousand dollars in income
and they of course make up the vast majority of voters
this is why republicans are still very much in the game when it comes to the
congressional elections
twenty twenty six
this is group number five
what about group number four well when we're talking about the majority of
voters
you know for all of the talk oftentimes we break it down we look at black
voters we look at spanish voters but white voters still make up the
clear majority of voters in the electorate. And what we see here is Republicans are winning
among white voters. They're winning among white voters. Well, they're winning by 11
points when it comes to the 2026 race for Congress. Now, Trump won them by 15 or was
leading amongst them by 15 back in 2024, but 11, 15.
Yeah, the few people holding strong are my boss and my father-in-law. This is one
of the chatter is funny.
This is the type of movement that is really sort of emblematic of what we're seeing.
Maybe Democrats doing slightly better, slightly better, but overall Republicans are more than
holding their own when it comes to a group that makes up the clear majority of voters.
Okay, this is group number three.
Well, let's enter into group number two.
Group number two, this is so important.
What about age?
What about age?
Older voters.
the time it took. Oh, the youth. Ooh, la, la, la, la, la.
We all care about what's new and fresh.
But what's been there for a while is a stable voting bloc.
Older voters are what ultimately, or almost ultimately, always determine elections.
So take a look at those among the age 45 and older.
In November of 2024, what do we see?
We saw Trump winning that vote by six points.
Look at what we are now.
Republicans are still winning this huge chunk of voters.
and of course in midterm elections, older voters actually make up an even larger percentage
of the electorate than they do in presidential elections. And what we see here is Republicans
ahead by three points.
Yeah, here's some new pure research on Trump's approval ratings. His approval is at 34%,
it's minus 30. His disapproval is at 64%. This is Trump's lowest second term approval.
whites across the board, he's minus 13. Among black voters, he is at 12% approval, 85% disapproval.
This is why I also always laugh whenever people are like, well, you know, he's holding strong
on the black voting base. Like, his approvals are his support amongst black voters that
voted for him already has remained resilient. It's like, dude, what are you talking
about. Like that's such a strange way to look at the data.
Among ages 18 to 29, he's at 24% approval, 75 disapproval at minus 51. Age is 30 to 49.
at 30 approval, 68 disapproval, minus 38, and then once you go 50 up, he goes to minus 14.
Among males, 38% approval, 60% disapproval. Among females, 31% approval, 67% disapproval.
For those who have a high school graduate's degree or less than that, he's at minus 22%
approval rating. For those with a college graduation, with a college degree, he's at
minus 38% disapproval. For post grads, it shoots up to minus 51% disapproval. For those who
are dem or leaning dem, it's at minus 89% disapproval. And for those GOP or leaning
GOP, it's at plus 37. The only group that he's not underwater in is those who are
either GOP or lean GOP.
And even then, it's at plus 37.
It's fucking over.
Okay, it's been over.
It's never been more jover than it is right now.
Having said that, it's not totally dead.
And the only reason why it's not totally dead
is because I think the Democrats
are not convincing enough.
This is good for winning a marginal victory
over the Trump administration, right?
But even then, we should be demanding more.
This is an opportunity to demand more, demand more from our politicians.
Force their hand into taking certain policy positions that will be prescriptive and helpful to all of the economic struggles that people are experiencing currently.
This is not only good policy, but it's also good politics.
This will also yield a a higher approval rating for the National Democratic Party in general
Wrong like Harry just showed Congress still has a net positive with ours and they won't stop him
Yeah, I'm explaining to you why that's the case
This is the point the reason why the National Republican Party is seen
as, you know, they're obviously still intensely disliked, but has more support than the National
Democratic Party is for this reason.
Because at least there's a cult on the right that's still both supporting Trump and is
willing to support the Republican Party in general, whereas the Democrats are leaning
into the anti-Trump vote.
That's the issue.
That's my point.
That's precisely what I'm saying.
If you just expect the double haters to go your way and you don't put out a convincing
message to win large swaths of the population that will go out and vote for something rather
than against Trump, you don't have a real movement.
And you don't have a guarantee for victory anyway.
In some ways, this has worked out by the way, I will say this, because of the overwhelming
unpopularity of the Democratic Party and their weakness so far, it's good that the
truck shumors of the world are not leaning in the direction of like Graham Plattner or
Abdul El Sayed.
It's not a bad thing necessarily because they're so deeply unpopular that it's
kind of good that we can set up these insurgencies.
The issue on the other hand however is that the media ecosystem and a lot of these establishment
Democrats within the party's center of control do still put up a lot of money and a lot of
opposition research in the direction of these insurgencies.
And that's very frustrating because it still does actually harm the candidacies in general.
still ends up having an impact, a negative impact on these candidacies.
The best possible scenario here would be for these guys to just like say they don't want
Abdul-as-A'ad and then fuck off from the race and don't spend a good deal of money
attacking him.
But right now they're saying they don't want Abdul-as-A'ad while simultaneously also
spending a good deal of money and resources in attacking him.
I have so much to say, but I don't want you to think I'm a Mara posting.
I don't know what you mean by that.
Again, this is well within any margin of error.
Republicans holding strong, holding their own amongst a group of voters that will make
up the clear majority of voters come November.
But without further ado, we're counted down eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two,
and coming in at number one.
What about seniors? Choice among seniors. Look at this. In October of 2024, Donald Trump
was getting 49% of the senior vote. That is age 65 and older. What are we talking about
now? What we're talking about, get this. You thought one point was a lot of movement.
You thought two points was a lot of movement. Of course, I'm just kidding. It's very little
movement. Zero points. That's no movement at all, baby. That's no movement at all.
What we're seeing right here is House Republicans holding their own amongst a very key group
in the electorate, who of course will make up an even larger share come this November
than they did two November's ago back in 2024. Now this is my countdown from 8 to 1. But what
about the bonus? I was promised you a bonus. We're going to talk bonus, baby. We're going
to- Yeah. Public is roughly divided on making a deal
with Iran if it's worse for the U.S. At this time, do you think the U.S. should
make a deal with iran even if the results in it is a worse deal for the u.s.
push around for a better deal even if it means
uh... resuming u.s. military action against iran's give question seven percent
so the plurality is with make a piece deal with iran even if it results in a
worse deal for the u.s.
that is
spectacular
in my opinion because americans
uh... find themselves to be exceptional
i'll get back to the bonus in a second
61% of Americans say the war with Iran was a mistake and 48% of Americans,
48% of Americans say let's just take the L here, okay? Let's cut our losses and run.
That is remarkable. This means that there are at least like enough Americans who are fine with
American Empire diminishing around the globe in terms of his power, in terms of his force
projection capabilities in terms of like a constantly waging war. They just think about
the impact and the impact is negative. They recognize that the impact is negative and it's
taken a very short period of time for them to come to the conclusion that, you know, this kind of
stuff is not working for them. You know, this empire's design is not is not benefiting them
at all. It's not beneficial. Mark Ames says what stands out in this Wapo poll is that even
Even though 61% say Trump's war on Iran is a mistake, 46% support Trump resuming the
mistaken war to get a better deal.
So a big chunk of Americans who think the war is a mistake support repeating the mistake
that's already failed.
Yeah, they're stupid.
Matthew Petty says, frankly, I'm surprised there's even a plurality for taking the
L a few years ago.
It would have been 80-20 to nuke anyone who embarrasses us.
And I agree.
I'm on Matt Petty's side on this.
Okay?
i'm not surprised that there is a still almost a fifty-fifty split
there's a majority that recognizes that it was a mistake the wage war with iran
but still
almost a fifty-fifty split on continuing to repeat this mistake
verses
pulling out if it even if it means an unambiguous uh... defeat
i'm surprised that there's a plurality
that's in favor of eating that defeat
Americans are unbelievably propagandized,
especially when it comes to foreign policy
because foreign policy is bipartisan.
Foreign policy has always been bipartisan.
So the very fact that like, this bipartisan enterprise
that normally gets unanimous consent from the public
because it's like one of the most,
one of the most propagandized positions
that Americans believe is that like,
we're the world police, sure,
We do some stuff that's violent ultimately, okay?
But although some of those actions are violent,
it's oftentimes against enemies that deserve it.
And it's for a larger good, for an overall greater good.
Those people are now coming to the conclusion that like,
no, we need to cut our losses.
We need to cut our losses and run.
That's unbelievable.
That means that just like with the case of Israel, regardless of whatever the mainstream media says,
most Americans, when they feel the pain, when they feel the economic pain,
okay, they choose to pull out. Where they don't, they don't believe in the whole like the ends
justify the means narrative any longer. And that's why it's really funny when Pete Hegseth
goes in front of Congress and says, oh, do you want Iran to have a nuke?
Do you want Iran to have a nuke?
A cost of the American public is paying right now for this war is marginally in comparison
to Iran having a nuke.
We're stopping them from having a nuke.
That's a terrible argument because it seems a lot of Americans are saying, no, I don't
care what Iran does.
Either they're saying, I don't believe you.
I don't think that Iran is going to get a nuke, okay?
they're saying even if they were, who cares? Let's just pull out. Fix the gas prices, please.
Talk bonus. Yeah, it turns out, contrary to Trump's assessment, maybe Americans are tired
of winning. Maybe they are saying, please, sir, no more winning. We don't want to win
any longer. You know, immigration, immigration, of course, such an important part of the
the Donald Trump message back in 2024, 2020, 2016.
The GOP lead on immigration for all of the actions
that have occurred over the last year in change
of the Trump administration.
Look at this, back in February of 2023
before Trump fell into office,
Republicans held a 10 point lead
on which party was more trust in immigration.
Last year in July, it was six points.
Now, get this, it's eight points.
It's eight points according to Fox News.
There's simply been no real movement here.
Republicans are holding on on a key issue for them.
And therefore it should not be much of a surprise
that Donald Trump is very much holding on
when it comes to border security.
Look at this, Trump's approval rating on border security,
approved Trump on border security,
you know a little bit over a year ago,
he was at 56%.
Look at where he is now, he's at 53%.
Still the clear majority of Americans approve-
This is cold by the way.
You trusted me thus far, trust me on this too.
This is Cope.
This is an act of desperation from people that voted for Trump, that have tremendous
sunk cost, that want to like lean into anything that they find to be redeemable.
When people say why are they trusting Fox News polls?
Fox News polls are rated very, very highly.
They're not, it has nothing to do with the editorial side of Fox.
Fox News polls are good.
The job that Donald Trump is doing
when it comes to border security.
So we've ranked the less, we've gone one, two, three,
four, five, six.
I love Ohio, will never let you down, I swear I promise.
Four days, they're all heading off to vote.
900 miles.
There you go, that's much better.
Red Sox might need a backup catcher.
There you go. That's much better. Red Sox might need a backup catcher.
One giant question. Is Donald Trump's mega coalition cracking?
Entering Ohio, the Mahoning Valley. Gritty, blue-collar, union, reliably democratic for
decades. No more.
like this, places like this, the part of how Trump has changed America, Ohio changed from
a competitive purple state to a Trump red state because of the match.
Damn, they're busting out John King, dude. Uh-oh. That's the big guns. They're not sending
Dony out on these missions now. When you got, when you got John up in there, that's
how you know, things are starting to get serious. This midterm season, baby. Time
time to hit up some diners all around the country okay?
Check out his coalition here. But as we head into the midterms, the jobs he promised are
not here.
Yeah. Sir John King has hit Ohio, the state of Ohio, the beautiful state of Ohio has
had one John King impact.
The revival in American manufacturing he promised is not here.
Anderson is the Mahoning County Democratic Chairman. His midterm bet, enough Trump voters
will be part of electing Ohio's first Democratic governor in 15 years and part of flipping
a critical Senate seat from red to blue.
They got caught by a con man. You're the Democrat, so you're supposed to say that.
What do you see that tells you that things are different?
Well, I mean, drive around Mahoning County. For, you know, for eight years there were
Trump signs on every corner. There were flags. You couldn't go to a grocery store
without seeing those red MAGA hats, I'd challenge you to find one.
It's true, these are hard to find now.
Maybe a clue, but hardly enough to answer the is MAGA cracking question.
This is local 1112 United Auto Workers, Lordstown, Ohio.
Ground zero in the local debate about trusting Trump.
General Motors made cars here for five decades, thousands of good union jobs, but the Lordstown
planned closed in 2019 despite a first term Trump promise it would stay open.
Foxconn built this new factory on the GM site but its workforce is non-unit and
the factory is mostly idle now as the company decides what's next.
Nearby another new factory sold as Lordstown's New Hope. Altium cells, the
joint EV battery venture between General Motors and South Korea's LG Electronics.
How many guys are working in that factory now? Right now all of production
shut down 1,460 of us, I think there were. We're all laid off in January 5th, officially.
And you don't know until when?
Don't know until when.
Bob Swagger leads the campaign committee at local 1112.
Everyone here remembers when Trump told them not to sell their homes.
And later when he said new jobs would replace the GM jobs.
The union endorsed Kamala Harris, but a big chunk of its voters voted Trump.
And then the UAW endorsed Trump's tariffs.
They were hopeful that they were going to bring more jobs back to the United States.
Has that happened?
Not that I'm aware of.
Manufacturing employment is up a bit of late, but down 80,000 jobs overall since Trump returned to the White House.
American auto manufacturing, down 25,000 jobs in Trump's second term.
Do you believe in 2026 the Democrats can actually win statewide for the Senate and win statewide for governor in Ohio?
also speaking of layoffs, apparently the daily wire laid off half of his staff today. It comes
to Ben Shapiro and other mega influences have seen huge loss in engagement and audience retention.
who must go? Hassan must go? Who must go? Ben Shapiro must go. What happened, Ben? No
motion, no lotion. Sheesh! And they demonize you when you want more aggressive industrial
policies lol I mean yeah tanning with my dick out in my backyard with Hassan Abbey in my
ears says salted pepper piker Jesus Christ
with oil prices at an all-time high you'd expect daily wire to be fully funded true
What happened? The Wilkes brothers need to be coming in and yet they are not coming in clutch at all
What's good
Look who it is look who it is hold on let me open up the noise gate real quick
Hello
What I'm a suit guy. I'm a suit guy now. Yeah, sorry
Sorry sucks to suck here noise gate is off now
almost got recruited by Mormons this morning. Nice, nice, nice. Caroline
I'm going to go into the building.
Two more minutes.
How are you?
Mark, you're here as well.
I'm glad you're here.
I did.
I did.
I saw the arch.
What?
About the arch.
What did I teach you?
The arch in the western hemisphere?
Nope, in the world.
Sorry.
It's the tallest monument in the western hemisphere.
How many feet?
630.
Yep.
And it's a monument dedicated to westward expansion,
aka the genocide of my people.
Yeah.
True.
Yeah, so there you go.
That's the St. Louis Arch.
That's it, everybody.
We're going to get ready right now.
I'm going to continue with the commentary coverage,
but we're going to get ready to now go.
And I have 15 more minutes you want to pull up that chair and then we can yeah, oh, that's a chocolate
That's crazy
Wait, oh my god, it is literally
They gifted me a chocolate arch I didn't even realize that this was
change out of the suit? No, I think the suit's fire, right?
Yeah, looks good. I mean, I, I think it's like a little too
professional. Okay, you got to come closer. What do you mean?
What? It gets the job done. It's not the size here. You put
the chocolate arch back. I'm actually impressed by the chocolate
arch. Yeah, it's fantastic. Googly butter cake bro, eat that.
that. Yeah, maybe later.
All right, what's going on? What's happening?
A man sitting behind me.
Oh my God.
What is this? A man sitting behind me on my American flight punched and kicked my chair, threatened me.
You're going to have a real problem with me and called me a slur.
American Air would love to know if there's anything aside from filing out an online complaint that could be done here.
Flight attendant said fill out online form and then help this get to the destination airport.
just shrugged me and told me to go online. Let me tell you so right before I get a right after
I get a call from American Austin sends me a text and goes did American call you I'm like did you
have something to do with this? What did he? It was a coincidence oh and I talked to him for 45
minutes this morning as he was advising me. Great Austin's like yeah time for White Hat Karen.
so excited this is his everyone bread and butter yeah bread and butter um
oh oh yes austin said is it okay with you if i include a lot of people tagged me
but he said he's like i woke up this morning to so many tags because of your tweet is it okay
if I include this photo here and he just links the Superman picture he's like I
would like to comment that but if that's not okay with your traumatized
I was like what babe go ahead post post the Superman photo did he I don't know
if he did no he did there are so there are a lot of people tagging him he was
born he was born for this in all seriousness oh fuck that guy no one
deserves our treatment. That's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. That was super fun. Hold the mic
closer. Shut up chat. This is as close as it's gonna get here. I'll crack up the
gain a little bit so you guys can actually hear us a little bit better.
Okay. That's it. That's what you get. My favorite thing is when you post
something like this and then people online just manufacture a totally
different version and go this is what happened. They're like oh yeah I'm sure
she just yelled at some old man because yeah because that's what she does. I'm
like well you know it calls for it yes. You can take it. I'm swapping the
I'm swapping the camera. I'm so excited to be a Cori Bush. Wait I have to tell you
There's a funny part of this story where one person who did end up helping me, I start talking to her, she's blocking me for safety reasons, she's like, well, what are you doing here?
I was like, I got that question as well. Well, I go, I went to college in St. Louis and some friends of mine are here to help worry bushes reelection.
I was like, I'm just gonna make a trip out of it,
see my friends, help out with the rally.
And she goes quiet, this woman who'd been my savior.
I was like, wrong.
And she goes, oh, I'm really good friends with Classic Bell.
Oh!
And I just go, so that didn't feel awkward.
And under normal circumstances,
I'd be like, fuck, I'm in the socks.
But I just go, well, they're both great.
You said that?
Because this was the only person who had helped me.
You should have been like, that's an Apex student.
I know.
I said, under other circumstances,
and we're like, that guy fucking sucks.
I was like, wow.
Man, I wish in California we had the issue
of too many great candidates.
Like Wesley Bell.
Like you do here in St. Louis.
I could not believe that I ended up talking
to a person who's good friends with him.
And the one person who was like, had my back, I did, I did.
I did.
So you went to college here.
I did.
Everyone has been talking about how dangerous
St. Louis is and how terrible it is,
including but not limited to people
that are born or raised here
that I met at the airport who were like,
are you that guy?
Are you the political commentator guy?
And I was like, yeah.
And she literally was like, why are you here?
Because of the arch.
And I was like, oh, I'm doing this thing for May Day.
She's like, what is that, like next week?
I was like, no, May Day, like today, with Corey Bush.
And I was like, why do you think it's weird that I'm here?
And she goes, famous people don't come to St. Louis.
She's straight up sad.
Famous people are created in St. Louis.
Wait, she said famous people don't come to St. Louis?
Yeah, she said people don't come here.
And apparently that's a thing.
know it is people like avoid st. Louis wait you know who's a slew grad who
James Gunn well aside from me James Gunn James the gun don't jam which I know
like it's funny you don't know because he hides it that's apparently there's
apparently if you're in any way shape or form connected the same lose you just
never I didn't know you were fucking st. Louis I'm proud slew grad I did not
know that and I'm knowing for a decade well did you know that they were
posters of me all over. I didn't know that because he showed me. And all over Madrid as
well as I went international. Because you showed me I know. Yes, well I'm telling you. That was the first thing you showed me. Of course. Yeah. Okay, so the funny thing is, is that nobody ever came to slew, except for Aaron Carter. Yikes. But he came because, well, no he's bad. But he came, he was trying to sell tickets and he went to our, he went to all the sororities and was like, whoever buys the most tickets will do a private concert for.
nobody, nobody bought tickets. It was really sad.
That's crazy.
And so even to lose, we don't get a lot of celebrity, but we still have standards.
And then one time my friends and I got in trouble because in 2011 we decided to start this rumor that Julia Styles was coming to slu.
Uh huh.
You know who that is, right?
No.
What was that?
Hannah asked me, my assistant asked me,
Hassan are you gonna change outfits?
He's not, he's a suit guy now.
I said that.
And then that's what Mark said, she said,
at least he's not wearing the Tucker Carlson tie today.
Look up Julia Stiles, you know who she is.
You know who she is, ten things I hate about you,
the prince and me.
Come on.
It's Julia Stiles.
Oh, I've seen this person. Yeah, I've seen in the 90s. Yeah, I've seen this person. Yeah. So we decided to start a rumor that she was coming to slew. And this is when Twitter kind of started to be, I was in its infancy. So my friends and I got Twitter accounts and started a hashtag Julia styles is coming to slew.
And then we just kept tweeting about how excited we were and that we saw her mom and I don't know and
Then the student council found out and they reached out to us and they're like you guys have to stop
You just stop spreading these rumors because people now people now you're putting a
I was ready to
Miss informate spreading misinformation online. Okay. I like that. Um, it's me speaking of which I posted
You know a very clear baked post and apparently it got
It turned into its own know your meme page. Hasan Piker reading Lenin is a series of two photographs of leftist blue consumer
It's not like you're holding what is to be done by Vladimir Lenin while riding on a train reading the book in the first photo and staring
Out the window in the second images were uploaded the pike to buy piker to his Twitter account April 30th
Wait, it turned into people got so mad
Yeah, it happened yesterday. They're so fast with the memes
Yeah, this one was a pro Israel account Lenin in one hand Cartier on the other which by the way, it's not a party a
isn't that a
Chrome yeah, but Hassan Piker shot collar controversy color gate make the rich pay progressive mind in a Maga body. Oh my god
Wait, let's see some let's see the night. Oh, I don't want to fucking see any of this shit
I just saw the one that was in the second row
Which one? Oh, Tecto, Rape Town?
Was that Thon Piker versus Tecto?
Yeah, that's not a real one. What was that? Was that actually a controversy?
The Cartier post got $80,000 likes.
Yeah, but this one was funny.
Imagine loving trains because your parents never allowed you to be independent.
You're a true nepo baby. I don't even understand what this means.
Wait, okay. Imagine loving trains because your parents never allowed you to be independent.
I don't even know what their fucking target amount is.
You are true now. It makes sense to me. Okay. It's one of those if you know, you know, yeah,
this guy is gonna lose his mind if I don't watch Barack Obama, not having a consistent
position on Israel committing a genocide. Like he's literally like, please, please look
at this video, please before you leave. All right, we can't look at it. We need to
Um, the Macy is on this playlist.
Can you, uh, can you add in the Ebro, Laura Rosenberg, uh, post as well?
Uh, like if you haven't, I don't know if the Macy's in here right now, but
no, you can have it.
Yeah, eat it.
Yeah, you're eating.
Okay.
It's fine.
All right.
Anyway, uh, we're going to, we're going to play.
We're going to go to the tea party and then Trump after leaving the army
We're gonna go link up with Corey we're gonna interview Corey
I'm gonna interview Corey Bush and then afterwards. I'm gonna speak at a rally
I made a rally
See some of you there
Okay, I know it's loud. Sorry. Hold on. I'm fixing the noise gate real quick so that it fine sound of the video is awful
stop. It's fine. I'm fixed it.
I think that I was very right-wing.
Skenesny had a change of heart in 2020, calls himself an independent and is backing Democrats this year because he now views Trump and MAGA as dangerous to democracy.
I've talked to a lot of people whose views are changing, even in my own family.
So I am hopeful that that is starting to factor.
Yet, Skenesny concedes many Trump supporter friends will not budge.
And it's a lot harder. It's a lot harder than I thought.
Most of Ohio is rural, and rural America is Trump country.
But rural also means you drive a lot.
I guess prices hurt.
Farms dot the rolling hills of Albany in southeast Ohio.
This one is unique.
The chickens are your supervisors?
Yeah.
400 or so sheep on a hundred grassy acres.
Lambing season, these sheep are pregnant.
200 to 250 more little lambs do any day.
Stay, sir. Stay. Stay.
Bill Crustling doesn't need much diesel or any fertilizer,
so he's shielded from the Iran War cost spikes hitting many other farmers.
He does okay, but is saddled by huge medical deaths.
His biggest complaints about Washington are corruption and deficit spending.
Trump promised to change the health care system and he hasn't.
He promised to reduce the debt and he hasn't.
Well, it takes time.
He had four years, but he was new to Washington.
I don't blame Trump.
I blame the Congress.
Where am I riding?
Right here.
I'm going to take the dog seat?
Yeah, she's coming no matter what.
Crustling says no politician understands this life.
And he's mad at both parties for not solving problems.
But he will vote Republican in November because he's conservative and because he loves Trump for the very reason
So many people can't stand Trump. He seems to like the fights. Oh, he loves a fight
He loves a fight and that's great. So I vote for him. This world's got way too many pearl clutches
It's like, come on people, keep me up for it
Back on the road heading south Portsmouth is in Sayota County along the Ohio River across from Kentucky
Trump won 74 percent here last time.
Dale King was already wavering on Trump.
The Iran War, the last straw.
King opened his Portsmouth gym 16 years ago
after returning home from two tours in Iraq.
It's crazy because that's like 20 years ago.
His office is full of military mementos
and showing it to a visitor stirs emotion.
Like it's weird 20 years and then we're dealing with that right so it's like
It's just it's a unique
Timing thing guys are trying to navigate their own healing journey and now it's like okay, we it's it's
Scratching that scab again
King voted for Trump in 2016, again in 2024.
But he's voting for Democrats in 2026
because he believes the country needs
to send Trump a midterm message.
I am pro-military.
And I am, we have a strong need to protect this country.
I know there are threats and I know there are enemies
that want to see the downfall of this country.
But you can't be flippant about war.
You cannot.
Conversations with friends here and fellow veterans
across the country convince him big change is coming.
The shine's kind of coming off the Trump presidency.
Really kind of see through the true core of who he is
versus what he campaigned on.
John, what other issues besides the war
to do Democrats think could help them in Ohio?
Anderson is just out the top of the piece,
and here's the map from 2024.
Look, Donald Trump won 81 of 88 counties,
81 of 88 in Ohio.
So be skeptical about the Democratic chances.
But the war in Iran may be taking some people
like Dale King away.
The manufacturing jobs the president promised,
there are some, but there's no big red
of sounds like he promised.
But you see the 81 of 88, this is the map
Democrats think gives them hope Anderson.
Half of the counties in Ohio, more than half of them.
Your cost, the cost of your energy,
the cost of your housing, the cost of your groceries,
are running ahead of your wages.
So of the ADA counties, more than half.
That's what the Democrats think,
not just in Ohio, but across the country.
But the fact that this state is in play
after 10 years of being out of play,
just that in and of itself tells you
this is a very different midterm year.
A coalition of activists called on St. Louis
to shut it all down tomorrow.
No work, no school, no shopping.
Former Congressman Cory Bush showed up
to lend her name to this cause,
then left before reporters could ask her
a single question.
The coalition's demands are specific.
kill the Armory Data Center permit, move Ram Settlement money to North City,
keep St. Louis Police away from federal immigration enforcement
and slash the police budget.
At the national level, invoke the 25th Amendment and remove the president.
Five on your side's political editor, Mark Maxwell, question them about the strike.
What good is a strike that comes with an expiration date?
Is it really a strike or is it like a symbolic pause?
So there's always a little bit of symbol.
However, even if the strikes are small, people are realizing that we can actually come together
as workers and shut it down.
Tomorrow Congresswoman Bush is scheduled to appear alongside Hassan Piker, a controversial
influencer who has publicly cheered Hamas and called America, quote, malignant force.
She did not take questions today about that.
Why not?
Oh man, that's right you got it on the program, the ELR show 844 ELR 3.
Not sure why I'm talking to your phone call today though.
No, this is a big Thursday program.
We have now sort of changed the show.
We decided at some point not going to be very guest heavy on our live shows.
But for this week, if the right person makes himself available,
You got to shut things down and have a conversation and we got a son pie growing the program. What's happening?
So
We got sent a video of someone in your chat saying you should come on the show and you said yeah, totally
Oh, come on the show I DM'd you before that happened and you never hit me back. So I just want to say that was rude
I don't look at any of my DM's. I mean likely excuse. You know, by the way, you're he doesn't look at the end
Don't listen to anything, but your DMs are probably crazy. You never look. No
Over the last few months six, you know, where you've really exploded you still haven't checked. No, I never checked
You know, it could be slight. You know, kind of people could be slightly
Really? He can't he's not safe. Are you in a relationship? I don't talk about my problem life. Oh, yeah
You should look at the DMs
Yeah, I mean it's just we have a thing on my I have a podcast with my friends and they will go through my
Instagram DMs all the time to be like why haven't you hit back this person like with some crazy people are in there like Ricky Martin
Like that. That's a big one. Yeah. No, there's it's always people like that where people would should be like this person follows
You like this famous person follows you that famous person policy. Why haven't you like reached? So why don't you I don't ask you?
Why don't you look what's the there's some logic behind it? I'm busy
Streams for eight hours. Yeah, I'm doing so I'm doing political stuff. So I don't have time
Well, so let me ask you on that because we have a number of hot topics to get to you today get with you about today
But before we do that, I started following you some time ago
That's what I heard. I saw the clip. Yeah, and and only because I just saw a guy
Saying some cool stuff. I didn't really think of you as
You know a political pundit per se. I just saw you as a smart dude
trying to, and I think the premise of what I originally saw where you were trying to talk about
white supremacy. And that was like, you were very like anti white supremacy and trying to peel
back those layers. Is that your main premise, the kind of streaming existence or did it start
somewhere else? No, I mean, I started on Twitch, specifically to talk about Pothrower's
playing video games with some of my friends. What year is this retirement? This is 2018.
I was at the Young Turks already. In turning or you like you had a job job? I had a job job.
I started off in turning at TYT in 2013 and I stayed there full time. I was doing ad sales
and stuff. I basically moved on to the content side because I really wanted to do,
I really wanted to be on camera and I was really bad. It was so bad at it.
So I was just like basically a fill whenever like a whenever a producer wasn't there
I was like I'll make myself available whenever there was on camera talent that like elastic and cancellation
I was like I'll do it for free. It's fine
So I did that I snuck in as much as I could to be on camera and get on camera and your uncle is the young term
Yeah, he's the young term. He's old now, but he's not young right? It's like what James would say young hoes
Yeah, he's exactly he's a young he was the young Turk at the time
And and he was so worried about nepotism allegations that he was like extra hard on me, too
So he's like no get back to the get back to the supply closet
We'll get to him in this conversation. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I don't like each other right now anyway
No, I mean I look that's my as my uncle. I love him
I even if I have significant criticisms of what he's up to every now and then but he brought you in and gave you the
opportunity exactly
okay we're back we're here and we are on our way to an undisclosed location to
go and link up with Cory Bush for those of you who don't know Cory Bush is a
little bit of a hero around these parts she unfortunately lost their seat to
Wesley Bell in the last election for basically doing the right thing
Corianna Kibush, born July 21, 1976, is an American politician, nurse, pastor, and
Black Lives Matter activist who served as the U.S. Representative for Missouri's
first congressional district from 2021 to 2025. The district includes all of the
city of St. Louis and most of northern St. Louis County. Corbush is a member
of the Democratic Party and she was the first African-American woman to
serve in the US House of Representatives from the state of Missouri.
Corbush unfortunately lost her race to Wesley Bell in a race that was determined entirely
by APAC expenditure.
I believe it was approximately $13 million that was done in the Democratic House.
Yeah, it was between her and Jamal Bowman,
who also got another $20 million in APAC expenditures
in his race on top of a redistricting
that actually changed the demographics of his district.
These were the two major APAC attacks
that unfortunately worked in unseating these incumbents.
And it was a huge victory for APEC.
And part of the reason why I think it's important
to put Cory back into the seat is not only
because she was a wonderful congressperson who fought
hard for her constituents, including doing the sitting,
the sit-in that I believe extended the...
Moratorium on evictions.
Yeah, the moratorium on evictions, yes.
But I think she got punished for being right but too early.
And I think it's important to make sure that we reward politicians for fighting and having
brave stances in times when big and powerful lobbying firms, lobbying arms of a foreign
nation state can come in and actively subvert democracy in the democratic process.
She's amazing because she first ran against the guy who was a congressman when I was in college,
uh, yeah, Lee C. K. Clay, and she lost the first time, um, because she was a totally political newcomer,
and then the second time that was when it was real upset, and she won.
Yeah, she narrowly won the primaries.
And then she had two terms and then APEC came in in 2024.
So it is it takes so much to run for office, let alone.
You need to hear a very important fact in this.
Clay is a dynastic name in Missouri politics.
And Corey Bush as an outsider was
able to end this 52 year reign in Missouri politics
As a politician who wanted to serve her constituents,
a politician who had left populist ideals,
and that's why it was a very impactful,
very impactful insurgency at the time.
With the Cook Partisan Voting Index of D plus 29,
this district is easily the most democratic district
in Missouri, and it's tied
for the 23rd most democratic district in the country.
Okay.
Primary is the most important one here, by the way,
because it's such a heavily slanted democratic district.
You get out of the primary,
you skirt on the victory in the general.
And that's precisely the reason why APEC dumped
a boatload of money into the primary,
rather than the general.
The problem is the difference between St. Louis City
and St. Louis County.
So I think where Corey has to really have strong ground game is in the county because that is
wider, more affluent, tends to vote with the party, you know, with the establishment.
Yeah.
I've been already reaching out to all my old friends, being like, here's who you're
counting for.
2024 yeah Bush ran for reelection on the seat on August 6th Cory Bush lost Democratic primary to Wesley Bell the prosecuting attorney
Of St. Louis County from what I understand Wesley Bell was supposed to actually run
Somewhere else an APAC or their one of their subsidiary corporations united for democracy
the
The organization United Democracy Project
The APAC Super PAC urged
Wesley Bell to unseat Cory Bush instead because they were very frustrated with Cory Bush's
unapologetic position against Israel, which was at the time committing a genocide, which
many politicians were afraid of calling out.
Now, it was also becoming the majority position.
It hadn't become the majority position yet, but it was clear that that is what was
going on, and that the environment was shifting in favor of the truth.
But that's precisely the reason why the APAC-aligned United Democracy Project Fund did not run
ads about Israel, because if we had run ads about Israel, that would not have been beneficial
for for Wesley Bell at all.
Okay Chad, you're going in cognizant.
Thank you.
Check getting chest cam until we figure out where we're setting up.
Oh shit, I almost ate it and died.
Imagine that's how we go down.
That's how we go down, just tripping over a sidewalk.
Should we go get a tactic?
What's up guys?
Hi, I'm Lauren Bush, I'm a friend of mine.
I'm going to click the commentator on Twitch.
I'm going to scroll it slow.
I'm going to look at Brad.
She's been making phone calls.
Trying to get all of her friends that still live here to go out and door now.
I already have a bunch of people who have been with you the whole time.
I don't want to win the first round so thank you so much, every vote is going to count.
We're going to win, we're going to win, we're going to win.
Hi everyone!
So how's it going? We're going to do like an interview right?
Yes, we'll sit over here, I'm going to move myself.
I want to introduce you to our team.
This is D-Brain who is the owner of this team.
I just want to thank the team for a lot of time.
Because in that, first of all, food is good, you know, it's not bad, but also being able to come up to a place where, you know, little town cities are much better, you know.
So I'm here for all people.
Oh, you're from the town cities?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So we used to get good food and have good camera, so we come here.
So anyway, I wanted to introduce you.
What do you recommend? What do you get here?
I always get the original calisthenics
chicken, the extra sauce
but
mine
I hope because he likes a lot of meat
he gets to want the chicken
I'm just going to set up the log
if I can get a shot
Yeah, let's do it
Chad, I'm taking you away
I'm worried, we're here to eat
I'm taking you away Chad
chat because I'm going to change the microphone to be a live microphone so that the interview
can be as high quality as possible and then we'll switch back.
You do shit live, you know how it is, okay?
Patience young chatters, patience.
Alright Chad, you're going to have just a quiet donkabus for a second.
Oh, yeah
Check check you can hear you're right check. Okay
Cory here we go. We're gonna we're gonna put this on you. Do you want to do it yourself?
All you gotta do is put the magnet behind
Is it working?
Did it work?
Did it click?
Nope.
Oh, there we go.
I don't know.
I think it did.
It might be the wrong side, maybe?
The magnet side might need to flip.
Okay, perfect. And then we'll, uh, yeah, let's do that.
Yeah. So yeah, we've been, I've been covering the news already. Uh, very excited to have
you, very excited to have you on the broadcast again. And I've been, I've been
awaiting this moment to give you your, your rightful throne once again. Part of
the reason why I was very frustrated with what happened is because, I mean, I think
right now we all are aware of APEX, malign influence on American
democracy. We are already aware of corporate PACs and the way that they subvert American
democracy, the democratic process in general. But you were one of the primary victims of
APEC's unlimited money faucet. They dumped $9 million on your race. And from what I
understand, they urged Leslie Bell, your opponent, who's now the incumbent, to run against
you. Why do you think they did that? Yes, a number of reasons. Um, so for one, not only
did they dump the nine million, but they had friends and allies who came in and dumped
more. Um, and they worked together. So we told it out about 15 million. Um, and one, of course,
they did it because I, um, spoke out, you know, for ceasefire and I and I am the
lead author of that bill for ceasefire in Congress alongside Rashida Tlaid.
So of course that pissed them off, but it was more than that.
When I had the action on the steps of the Capitol back in 2021 as a first year freshman,
I pissed off the big real estate because we got the eviction moratorium.
President Biden went on ahead and pushed through that eviction moratorium.
They wanted me from back then.
Republicans and, you know, they just had a, it was just a target, you know, we're going to take her
because they didn't want me to mobilize. But also they knew Project 2025 was coming
and they knew that they want, they didn't want me trying to stop it. They didn't want me
working against it. So it was so much bigger than, it was so much bigger than my work on,
on the ceasefire. This was more about them getting the Trump agenda pushed through a lot
easier because we got to remember I was varicated in my office the day of the
insurrection it was my third day in Congress and I wrote a letter sitting in
that office to investigate and expel any member of Congress that participated in
the insurrection and then and then got up a week later and called down a chunk of
white supremacist and chief from the floor so they didn't want that kind of
they didn't want that kind of energy. It kind of feels like saying the truth
truth and being correct, but too early is often punished in American politics.
But do you feel like the tide is now shifting in our direction, where people are actually
demanding real fighters and insurgent candidacies?
We're seeing the burning crap wing of the party, left populist candidates rise up and
actually take on the establishment and see a lot more success.
Do you feel like that'll translate to a victory for yourself as well?
Absolutely do.
The tide is so different.
There was so much vitriol, so much anger against me and others, Jamal and Rashida, and just
people were angry, even people that we thought were our friends, our allies.
They just didn't, or they didn't want to talk to us.
It was almost like we don't want the wrath of the White House or the caucus against
us as well as, you know, as, you know, A-pad.
Now people are coming out, speaking out, saying I'm not taking APAC money.
That's the thing to stay now, even though some of them are taking money other ways from the
still the same people.
But the tide has totally shifted.
And I do believe it will result in a win.
It'll result in a win if people understand that we got to work to get the win.
That's the thing, you know, because what I hear is, oh, Furi, I love you.
We love you.
But then they won't help.
I need your help.
When when I stood that night on on that stage the night I lost the election and I said
APAC I'm coming to tear your kingdom down. I meant it and so
To go back with the wind
Two years later
What would that do? What would that look like? That'll be historical and it'll open the door for so many other cameras
Yeah
Let's talk about St. Louis. This is my first time here. Oh
It's a beautiful city.
There are a lot of negative perceptions
about St. Louis from the outside.
And this is something that I've actually
seen in different places around the country that I visited.
I went with Brandon Johnson to the South Side of Chicago
as well.
And I experienced the first sand where
the way that people present St. Louis from the outside,
I think, is very different than how St. Louis really is.
And I've also seen this in Detroit,
and even in certain parts of Philadelphia as well.
Why do you think that's the case?
Because they want communities, especially communities
that are dim-lit, regardless of if it's a real estate or not.
They want them to seem like it's so much crime.
This is not a place to visit.
They want to divest from communities like ours
because it helps the narrative that we need to be controlled.
but not here.
And that's another reason why people were pissed off with me
because I'm not going to let you, you know,
I'm not going to let you just hurt our community
without me fighting back.
I'm going to tell the secrets.
That's the other thing, like I'm not a gatekeeper.
I'm telling the secrets.
I'm telling how people do things in other cities
to make sure we get an investment.
But, you know, they also, I think also,
if people can, if one thing that happened
St. Louis. And I truly feel like it's a thing that people want to happen now. If they can
move out black and brown communities from being where the money, where most of the money is
concentrated, of course, like in the downtown area or if they can move those folks out and then
raise the rent, raise the property value, raise, you know, like put these crazy
of prices on these homes, then they get to like have their, you know, they get to have
the area that they want. Yeah. So. So there's tremendous potential for St. Louis. And yet
you feel like the potential is being tampered with because of the demographics of St. Louis
being predominantly black and brown, especially black. As a matter of fact, they like the
votes though. So this is something that I asked Chris Robb as well yesterday in Philadelphia.
There's this conversation around the black boat. You're a black woman yourself. This
is the most loyal demographic to the Democratic Party. Do you feel like the Democratic Party
is taking the black boat for granted? Yes, absolutely. Absolutely. It has for a long
You know we you know growing up for me. I was a Democrat. I was a Democrat before I knew what a Democrat was, you know, and
You know, that's the expectation. I don't have
Like there can't be loyalty
To someone or some group that is not being loyal to you, you know
So we have to pay attention to what what why are we supposed to be Democrats because we believe in civil rights
We believe in human rights and Democrats say that's who we are.
Yeah, those guys aren't but if we're not the true opposition then yeah, then you need to work to be the opposition show us
Show us your human rights. Show us your humanity show us and we're not getting that
I think they're taking it for granted too because in some of our communities we just
Don't even have to knock doors. They don't have to spend money on millers
They don't have to put up a office in our community. It's we know that
this is a black community, they're going to show up for us. And do we, yes. If we clear, we do show up.
We show up because we're worried about what's happening to our families and our grandchildren.
So we show up. We don't have the option to not. But it's not good enough now.
Like, it's not good enough. We can't be hypocrites. And that is the problem that I have right now.
It's hypocritical to say you got to be with us.
We're with a party of human rights with a party of civil rights,
but then our civil rights are being rolled back.
Our human rights are being rolled back every single day.
And what we hear is nothing.
But what we hear is a harshly worded letter
instead of actual fighting the street.
What we hear is that you're making money
from war off war fractures.
What we hear is that you continue to take money
from these big corporations that hurt us
but then you tell us that you hurt us.
I have a working theory on this and I want to run it by you and you could tell me I'm
totally wrong if you disagree.
There has been somewhat of a generational breakdown as far as voter participation in the black
community where the younger black voters oftentimes are nowhere near as active as the older
voting black.
Now that's obviously the same as the generational participation for all demographics in this
country for sure, but given the participation rate otherwise, do you feel like this has
something to do with the fact that the last time the Democratic Party actually took on
a politically risky role where they were on the correct side of a political conversation
goes all the way back to the civil rights movement and therefore a lot of younger
black folk are, haven't seen the Democratic Party actually do something for them, stick
their neck out for them. And this of course is the same on on class boundaries as well.
There's certainly an argument beyond the black voting block. Do you agree with that assessment?
I think yes, in the way that it was kind of like I can speak for me growing up, it was like,
okay, you don't have to sit at the back of the bus anymore. Yeah. So now we're good.
Like you can buy a home in the community you want to buy a home in. So now we're good.
you know, so don't rock the boat.
Like things are good.
We're moving forward.
And then we got a black president.
So it was like, you know, just now we're good.
Like everybody just, you know, just, just try to, you know,
get the get the schooling, the house, the, you know,
white picket fence and all of that.
But in the in the midst of all of that,
we did have the war on drugs in the midst of that.
We did have mass incarceration in the midst of that.
We had, we still have police violence.
So that stuff didn't change.
We still had communities being redlined.
And so many of us just turned up.
We just, we were trying to get through.
So that's why I say, and I still say,
during when Ferguson uprising here,
when Michael Brown was killed back in 2014,
we said we were woke.
because we woke up to, that's not the real deal.
Under Obama by the way.
Yes, absolutely.
Yeah, a lot of people forget
and there's like a historical approach to that
where they don't, a lot of people don't realize that,
especially younger people don't realize that like,
there was the same exact sentiment
demonstrated by the national party
against the pro-Palestine protesters
was what Black Lives Matter protesters
initially had to withstand, where there was definitely
an antagonism or a negative attitude towards Black Lives
Matter protesters under the Obama administration,
because people were like, you're messing up
our electoral chances here by speaking out
when you see something that's going on in your own communities
that obviously shifted after Trump became president,
and he positioned himself against Black Lives Matter.
Colin Kaepernick, I remember seeing that attitude shift
from the Democrats.
where the Democrats universally were no longer in opposition to BLM, but were supportive of it.
How do we get our message across to the broader base of support within the party
on issues that you feel are not being discussed or addressed, and what are those issues?
I think one is people keep saying they're looking for a fighter, looking for a fighter.
where the fighters so be that so our fighters need to be in the front. Our
fighters need to be the one I feel like the party is doing such as this
service by continuing to push up the same people over and over again with the
communities or communities across the country are saying we need a fighter.
You know what? We have people that are great at messaging. Have them do the
messaging. That's not your fight. Have the people who are great have the
constitutional lawyers help us to figure out what we you know like
what avenues you can go down to make other change. They're not your fighters.
Your people that are willing to put themselves on the line, the people that
are willing to go up to, that are willing to speak out, that are that flamethrower,
put those folks as the fighter. That to me is what would make a difference because
the people are like, oh I thought you like you all aren't doing anything. It's
not that necessarily that people aren't doing anything. It's that
sidelining the people that will go out. And when I was on the steps of the
capital people said, oh, you're so undignified, you know, this is not what you do. You know,
the Korra, you know, and I'm like, no, it was undignified as people being out on the street,
you know, when in this country we should be able to house people who need housing.
We're sending all of this money, you know, to go buy our children, you know, and at that time,
we were sending money, you know, to go and and and and we'll still we were we were still
at that time. We were still, we were still very supportive of Israel's actions and
absolutely you know but and so you know housing how do we fight for housing we
know Donald Trump has stripped away so many protections for people who are
unhoused so that has to be one making sure that we are keeping our dollars in
this country that has to be one but of course we know that that's not going
to that is the heart one because these folks are profiting off of war you
know in the Democratic Party so we understand that but it's going to take
people who don't give a freak about their reputation. They care more about the community and give them the change. So that's why I'm running again. Because, you know, I'm not doing this so people can I'm not doing this for a title. I'm not doing this for a name. I'm doing it because it was right.
You know, what are some of the key problems facing St. Louis right now that you want to address to the best of your ability if reelected?
Yeah, so we had a tornado hit almost a year ago, May 16th. It was the EF3 tornado that came through some of the most underserved communities that we have.
Who thinks that a tornado is going to come through a city? It came through the inner city and have happened since 1959.
Those communities were already under resourced and historically excluded and now so many people
are still displaced a year later. People were sleeping in tents next to their homes,
next to the bricks that were their homes. And so for me, making sure that, because we know that
the Trump administration has defunded FEMA and that a lot of change is there, but me going
back working on disaster relief, working on what that response is, working on making sure
that FEMA and the EPA and all of these folks that we fight against what the
Trump administration is doing that has to be number one in our community. We
need one billion dollars to restore this community just back to where it was
before the tornado. Where did we get that money from? And our current
congressman is not doing it. He's not doing it. He's not putting it up out
there. So I'll go do it. I've done it before. I will go do it. Also these
These data centers are popping up, these huge, huge data centers are popping up across
our community and they're just being ran through, these city governments and people, the communities
are saying, but tell me about how this environmentally is going to impact my block, you know, my
neighborhood.
Energy prices.
Energy prices.
Missouri has some of the highest utility prices in the country already.
And what is this going to do about water?
So those are some of the things also, you know, community violence.
We have, we're still trying to, you know, get, like, this violence under control.
But when we live in this red state where it's like, hey, all of the loose gun laws you want,
you want to open carry, open carry, you know?
We can't, you know, we are trying to build this community.
We're trying to move it forward.
So what we need is somebody who is willing to speak to the thing and
then do the thing, you know, and another issue that that is really prevalent in
this community is, you know, just folks being able to actually make the ends
meet even in a place like St. Louis where we have a decent minimum wage.
But we still because of the disinvestment for so many years, we
We had the same congressman for 20 years and before that, 32 people, the same people being
in place, doing the same thing, did not allow for there to be new ideas to bring an investment
into this community.
So we have rock.
We have decay.
Yeah.
So you actually brought up something that I wanted to talk about, the minimum wage.
The increase in minimum wage actually came alongside, what was the percentage that
the same, I mean, Missouri Vota for Trump by.
Oh.
That was like plus 30th thing.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, and yet on the same ballot,
there were ballot initiatives in this state,
very progressive ballot initiatives.
I used Missouri as an example over and over again,
that people actually were not against left populism
or even very progressive economic ideas
such as paid leave.
Paid leave.
and also a $15 increase of $15 for a minimum wage.
Now, one of those two things actually,
from what I understand in the state legislature
was struck down, paid family leave.
What does that say about
even in a deep red state like Missouri,
people are demanding as far as necessary changes
and what will you do to fight back
and ensure that these things that people voted for
democratically, they will be able to get.
We always say, Missourians want progressive change,
but they don't let progressive candidates.
Yeah.
And because there is this disconnect,
understanding that it's your progressive candidate,
that's the one that's going to do the work
to bring about that humanity that you're seeking,
that true transformative change.
we hit $15 because it was incremental.
We hit $15 this January.
And now we should be at like 25 now,
but we finally got to the 15.
What we need to do though,
if we don't get the message out from our party,
it has to come, our Missouri Democratic Party,
so much is focused around there
and how much they're willing to go into these communities
to pull out these candidates.
One thing that you said to me was,
Cory, would you come to my community
and would you knock doors with me?
Because I'm afraid to do it by myself.
And I would say, because what they would say is,
we get hit by cars, we have people come
and do violent acts against us.
If we say we're a progressive,
even if we say we're a democat
some of our communities. So, Cory, if you come, you'll highlight what's happening in our community and then maybe that'll simmer it down.
And so I have done that for some communities. But that's the other thing. People feel like they're left alone.
So those that are saying that they want these progressive policies, I can't be seen voting for, like, the numbers are small in my community.
I can't. I don't need people thinking that I'm the one that's voting for this progressive candidate or even a Democrat.
out both of the initiative.
Yeah, so how do you, how do you think we cut through that?
Cause that obviously is because, uh,
especially in a deep red state like Missouri,
the Democratic party is,
is seen as a very negative organization, right?
Like there is this negative association with the Democrats.
That's precisely the reason why people are actually very fond
of the policies themselves, but not fond of the party.
So the most successful initiatives in deep red states
is oftentimes a faceless, lifeless ballot measure
that might even be more radical than what
the state democratic representative is actually
pushing for, maybe not so much in your case,
but certainly in the case of many other states,
where Democrats are even willing to negotiate
on the issue of abortion rights.
Meanwhile, in, I believe, Missouri, that was also
a, yeah, it was also constitutionally protected
in this ballot initiative.
So how do we change that?
Like, how do you think, or is there even a way
to change the attitude of the National Democratic Party
and the eyes of many voters
who are disillusioned with its performance?
I think we're seeing some of that change happening now
as people are pushing back
when people are saying to the DNC, you know?
We don't want corporate money.
We don't want to see corporate money in our primaries.
And even though we're not where we want to be,
The fact that there have been resolutions brought forward,
and there have been votes that say, yeah, the people say no.
That's different, I wasn't expected that a year ago,
let alone, I mean five years ago, let alone a year ago.
So that's one, but that has to filter down
through to our state parties.
And the respect for progressives.
Progressives are not the fringe,
progressives are not the enemy of the party,
And that's the problem, because we're silenced.
It's like you are, because you want these status quo with us,
because you want fallen line, then we have to,
we will come harder at you than we come at the Republicans.
That's the issue.
Let progressives be who we are.
If we're a big tent, then you want to stay
a corporate centrist Democrat, and we are who we are.
But if you celebrate that, then the people
who are like us all over these states,
you will bring them in.
Now, true enough, we'll start to push out these folks
that are the corporates.
We will, because we'll be the ones to start winning,
just like you said.
But that's the fear, right?
Yeah, oh, that is the fear.
And I think there's a power center in the party
that wants to win or lose by their own design.
And we saw with Kamala Harris's electoral defeat
against Donald Trump,
that they were perfectly willing to lose
as long as they kept that control over the party.
This is a major problem.
Do you feel like there's any support right now
from the center's wing of the party
for your insurgency to win back your seat?
Or do you feel like they're offering support
to Wesley Bell's incumbency?
There has been support actually more than I thought.
And people reaching out just saying,
hey, if you want my help, I'm here.
And the thing is that I've had to make the decision,
do I want that?
Oh wow, okay.
Yeah, because I am going to state
what you're not going to do is move me.
You're not going to sway me.
And if having your support means
that I have to tone something down,
mute myself, or stop talking about a position,
then I can't do that.
And so if it's on the campaign
or when I get back to Congress,
if what you're doing is buying my silence for later
or buying my complicity, then that's not,
like I can't say yes to that.
Are there any groups that you'd wanna elaborate
that you've refused the endorsement of or support from?
These are people who folks wouldn't even expect,
but I don't wanna say yet.
I don't wanna say yet.
I wanna, honestly, I wanna see who else comes about.
Okay, all right, I really want to see who else I want to see I want to see because as this campaign grows
With people like what's popular be real. Yeah people, you know, they want to see they want they like what's hot
So I want to see who comes about and I want to see if I can change them
You might try one of these
to now, because it needs to change so much when you're running behind two.
These are people in that world as well, so it's not just like the census and the
further progress is really, well, there's a time for a few.
Oh, yeah. Oh, absolutely. Because it was so weird.
So many people turned against us, people that we, that are like,
you know me, I know you, we know each other. And for them to just be like,
because we don't want the wrath that you're getting but also where we're
funded you know where our organization is funded or where our pack is funded
it's just a little too much for us but the progressive vote how is fine yeah
but that's definitely changing do you feel like is do you think that there
There is a cause for concern that these movements might be infiltrated or subverted in an effort
to become a machine for electing Democrats rather than actually making the necessary
changes.
We've seen some of these movements where the Democrats will come out and say, oh, we're
all denying APEC.
I mean from Gavin Newsom to even Cory Booker who is a you know has been a lifelong supporter of not only Israel
But a pack specifically
Now they're saying that they're actually against
Donations from a pack, but obviously as is the case with your previous race
A pack wasn't directly involved even though they were directly involved, but they were involved through a subsidiary
a united democracy project and democratic majority for Israel, yeah.
So do you feel like this is just another way to hide the ultimate goal of still continuing
to support Israel or do you feel like there's a genuine sea change amongst at least some
in the caucus?
I think it's both because some people you're not going to move.
Some people they are, they just don't care.
But then there are some who, there were some even back then, back when I was still in Congress
who would say to me, well, Cory, I believe what you believe, and I want to say what
you're saying, but I can't, you know.
So I do believe that there is a group that is willing to make the, that's willing
to make the move, but who's going to go first and take the jabs? Who's going to be the one
to travel with that? That's the issue because I had to realize, you know what, Cory, you're
expecting you from others and you can't do that. You can't get mad because this presidential
candidate isn't doing X, Y, and Z necessarily because you can't expect them to be you.
If you want that, you run.
And so that's why I'm running now.
So who are those folks in the Congress right now
that will be willing to take that?
Because let's be real, that is, they will probably
be sidelined in a way where you won't get your bills smooth.
You might not get your committee.
Yeah.
So let's get back to the race that you're in currently.
the incumbent Wesley Bell.
What do you think it says about his priorities
that he was so willing to be, what I call an apex stooge?
Do you feel like he has been sufficient?
Do you feel like he has actually represented
the interests of his constituents?
What do you think it says about him
that he was so willing to work at the behest of a foreign state, like Israel, and overthrow
a popular incumbent.
Overthrow someone that he knew, someone that has helped him in the past.
Oh, you guys have a history as well.
Oh, absolutely.
I did not know that.
Yeah.
I actually called him.
Fake friends.
Yeah, fake friends.
I called him when he announced he was running for U.S. Senate against Josh Hawley, because
he said Josh Hawley was the greatest threat to democracy and so he was running against him
and I called him because people were saying Cory that's a lie he's running against you
and so we had a conversation oh no sis I'm not running against you I wouldn't do it.
He lied to your face? He lied. It's on recording. I have the recording.
Oh my god look at it. Yeah well we we put it out. It's out. It's out but but you know
Hill Harper said publicly when he was running in Michigan, he's for US Senate.
He said that the APAC came to him and offered him $20 million to run against
Rashida. The same thing, and he said the same thing happened to my opponent, said
that he was offered $20 million to run against me. That's why, because it was an
easy way to move into a state, take the money, you don't have to work hard,
you don't have to hit the doors, $20 million will do it, especially in
St. Louis in the Midwest media market? Absolutely. And then also, you know, when you have a desire
to, you know, raise, you know, when it's about you and not about the community, you don't
care if you've done the work before. Whatever that makes.
Yeah.
Yeah, so.
Because you're not there to do the work. You don't have to be responsive at all.
Absolutely.
One of the, one thing I wanted to say about the, the Lizzie Bell situation is, how
How does it stick with the constituents here that, um,
Wissie Bell had a couple town halls and they actually ended up in,
in quite a chaotic situation where a lot of the people that attended his town
halls were demanding answers on his allegiance to the state of Israel and,
and how frustrated they were about his lack of responsiveness.
And some of them were brutalized by the police, uh,
and his town hall stopped after that.
What do you think that says about how he has governed thus far?
And also, do you feel like there is enough animosity towards that
by the voters that they might actually make a demand for a more responsive candidate like yourself?
I think there is enough animosity for some.
If that wasn't enough things that have happened since then, when you add all of it together,
It's showing a pattern of someone who just doesn't care for the community,
the way that they claim.
And people were brutalized for waiting for him.
They didn't do anything.
They were just waiting for him to come and talk to them.
He told them, wait for me if you want to ask me more questions than they did.
And then they were brutalized.
And to this day, he has never apologized.
He has never even acknowledged that it happened.
That was his security plus local law enforcement that were working for
him that night.
But he is, he is doing what he, him being primarily Republican funded, primarily MAGA funded,
he's doing what MAGA does.
What did we say at the insurrection?
You know?
Yeah, it's a version of democracy, of the democratic process.
Exactly.
Yeah.
And so he's walking that out.
And even if he wants to do something different, he, look, he was just on AAPAC's video.
He was just at the APAC conference doing a promo for them.
He's paying the piper.
And so that's what we can expect from him.
Yeah.
And not do right by the voters at all.
So I want to run by two different things
that I ask all the people that I interview.
One is like a fire around just boom, boom, boom very quickly
if you support or would be in support of it
or would be against it, let me pull it up really quickly.
And the other thing is, I like to call it the Zoran method,
where I ask, Zoran was definable by five key policies.
It's something that I think more Democrats should do.
It's something that I think more politicians
should do in general, is be definable on their own terms.
I think this was a huge problem
with the Kamala Harris campaign,
that there weren't like key policies
that she was on board with.
And therefore, it created a tremendous opening,
a weakness really, for the Republicans to exploit
and define her on their own terms.
That's part of the reason why I think like,
a very prescient talking point was Kamala Harris
only wants to do transgender bottom surgeries,
the Guatemalan migrants and detention facilities.
And I think that is a real weakness
for a lot of establishment Democrats
and centrist Democrats because they're so fearful
of coming out in support of whatever policies that they are actually on board with.
So in an effort to, you know, reduce that tension or confusion, I always ask people,
what are your top priorities for your district and how would you go about implementing them
or so are on the method?
Yeah.
So for me it's humanity first.
So if everything that we need to do to go grab humanity for people quickly.
So, there's a sense of urgency that I always have, and so, right now, fighting against
this war, being anti-genocide, keeping that money into our communities, because we need
housing, housing, we don't have the affordable housing stock in this community, and we have
so many people who are sleeping on the streets right now.
We are one of the most unbanked, we're getting better, but one of the most unbanked
communities.
And so working on our economic justice,
being able to circulate our dollar in our community,
building our small businesses, Medicare for All,
we are one of the most uninsured communities
in the country.
Medicare for All is the floor.
Like that is the basic,
making sure that people have the actual healthcare.
We do have the minimum wage at $15 a hour,
but I don't feel that that's enough.
So for me, continuing to push to make sure
that everyone has a true livable wage.
And then the Equal Rights Amendment instead of just
reproductive care, reproductive justice,
the actual Equal Rights Amendment because making sure
we have constitutional equality enshrined
in the Constitution, which would help
against housing discrimination, sexual discrimination.
It would be in support and give us the protections
for trans rights, for abortion rights, and so much more.
So things that make us whole, all of it's all under humanity for me.
Okay.
All right, I'm going to do rapid fire now.
Do you support Medicare for All?
Yes.
Universal child care?
Yes.
Abolishing ICE?
Yes.
Do you support holding ICE accountable beyond abolishing ICE?
Absolutely.
A Workers' Bill of Rights?
Yes.
A federal jobs guarantee?
Yes.
The Green New Deal?
Yes, great deal for cities with mine.
Ending aid to Israel.
Calling out Israel's genocide.
And arms embargo to Israel, both on offensive and defensive
weapons.
Holding Israel accountable for committing a genocide.
Calling out what Israel's doing to be an apartheid, which
is recognized by all international humanitarian
rights organizations.
Yes.
Are you in favor of ending America's war on Iran?
Yes.
Are you in favor of ending America's embargo on Cuba?
Yes.
Right now?
OK, perfect.
Those are some of the rapid fire.
Oh, a moratorium on data centers.
Yes.
OK.
So right now, the Trump administration
is in this limbo where we don't
We know if the war with Iran is continuing and it's not, it's supposed to be the day
of the war power's resolution where they have to go back to Congress and demand an extension
so they can continue waging war potentially.
The Trump administration has said that they are no longer waging war with Iran but there's
still a blockade as far as we understand.
Would you rate the current Democratic Party's performance as far as opposing the Trump administration's illegal and immoral war against Iran?
I think it is the same as everything else.
I think the fact that we just saw the decision with voting rights and knew that was coming up, I don't feel much happened there to stop it.
Um, everything that I feel that it's all, um, probably at around the three on a scale
of zero to 10, I would give it a three, a three for the effort.
Yes, we know that you know about it.
Um, do you, do you feel like the way that they're communicating on this issue, uh,
rings hollow, uh, in, in even the eyes of the constituents, the eyes of the voters,
because they keep consistently talking about a process where their opposition to waging
war, whether it be with Iran or whether it be supporting Israel to the hill, is always
about process, but it's not really about impact.
The impact that we, our decisions are having on the Iranian population in the Gulf or
even in the entire Asian market, the African energy markets as well, they're in a state
of disarray currently.
That's rarely ever discussed.
Do you feel like it would be beneficial to communicate to the voters and to the rest of
the country that our decisions are not only impacting Americans, but also everyone else
as well?
Absolutely.
Because, you know, in my travels around the world, I would always hear what we care
about, what's happening in the United States.
You don't know our elected officials, you don't know our politicians, but we know
yours.
we pay attention to what happens in the United States because we know that we're going to
feel an impact here. And that was global south that was, you know, just that was in Europe,
you know, and so that's a very real thing that the United States has the opportunity to lead
and we're not. But how can the party speak the way that you're talking about? How can you
deliver a clear message when your water is the money.
You know, when I'm saying that we don't want, you know, that we don't want our voting rights
trip.
We don't want what the Trump administration is doing.
We don't want Project 2025 to be completed.
We don't want this war with Iran, but everybody that's funding these things or getting money
from it, I benefit from those folks too.
So I'm putting it in my campaign coffers and I'm saying, no, don't do that, but give me
more money.
And I'm still saying, no, don't do that.
The people aren't dumb.
See, they've got to stop taking the people of this country, whether the electorate or
people who don't even care about politics, quit taking us for dummies.
Quit taking people, quit thinking that we don't see and that we don't care.
The masks have come down.
You know, and so being, if you're saying that you are the opposition to what Donald Trump is doing,
then why take Donald Trump down on money?
Why not stand up to him? Because the thing is, I can stick my chest out and hold my head up
and speak to that thing because I know I'm not bought by them.
I know they don't own me. I know I don't owe them a dang thing.
The only people that I'm accountable to are the people in my community and my family.
powerful. Do you feel like that is a part of the fear? Because, I mean, this, not to
make this about myself, but I'm sure you've seen that for the past couple of
months now, I've been leading in the media discord side of things where I've
become a part of the conversation where demands are being made by Third Way
and other centrist and center-right institutions that have some influence in the Democratic
Party's center of power to disavow my kind of politics, to disavow me in particular.
Where do you think this is coming from?
Do you think it's because they're afraid that they're losing their grip of power
and that they have to actually address their constituents for once?
And or do you think it's a real significant fear?
I think it's bold.
They didn't make you.
That's a fear.
They didn't make you.
They didn't give you your chance.
They didn't build you.
And so you're not accountable to them.
And so yes, that is a fear because I can't control you.
And if they've ever tried,
if they sit a honey pot or if they sit some money,
if they've done something and you didn't stand,
you didn't take that, then now we know.
So you can't be our guide.
But who you are is somebody that's speaking to millions and millions of paying attention that scares them because what you're doing is you're big
It's not just a platform. Well, you're
You are giving
License to people who may have felt afraid to speak up or to write it or to do a podcast to say it or to be in a
Council meeting saying it you're telling them that you know what you can do it and you can do it at your age
You're saying that now and you're feeding them the information you
You said something and now I'm gonna go look it up for myself. I wouldn't have heard it if you didn't say it
that's what they're afraid of and
You're not afraid. You're not allowing you didn't change
No, you didn't change. You know you're going you're doubling down. That's what they don't want
But you know what all of the all of the discourse about the district grass need a Joe Rogan all of that crap
Yeah.
Regardless of if it's a Joe Rogan or anybody else, you are reaching people.
Isn't that what they should be doing?
You should want to be with who's reaching people.
And the Democratic Party, the country, the politicians period, let me not just say the
Democratic Party on this, but we've seen it with the Democratic Party so much is I
I need all you millions of people to move to be like what this candidate wants you to be.
Not this candidate should move to be what the millions of people are saying they mean.
That's the problem that we have.
And you're holding that.
You're making sure you're not doing that.
So that's actually a good tie-in to how we started this conversation surrounding the
disillusionment that people feel, specifically the black voting block that's been, in my
opinion, certainly taken advantage of by the Democratic Party or taken for granted, rather.
And we'll move after this is my last question.
Do you feel like harm reduction narratives and calling out the Republican Party is sufficient?
Or do you feel like that's not a reliable way to turn out voters any longer?
Now of course you're in the primary, so it's different, and your district is deep blue,
and therefore winning the primary oftentimes is a surefire way of winning the general as
well.
But if we were to expand that to the broader races that are taking place all around the
country, do you feel like harm reduction narratives have been weaponized?
that the Democratic Party oftentimes actually uses harm reduction narratives as a way to
discipline the voter base into making decisions that they might not have necessarily considered
the best possible option, but the option they were told is the best, most electable option
that will unseat Republicans. And given the failures of that narrative, do you feel
like we can genuinely chart a different path forward?
We have to try a different path forward because, you know, Donald Trump won being a bully.
He won just saying whatever came to his mind.
He won again.
And he won again because so many people, even as I've gone into rural communities,
and talked with people who I don't see, we don't agree.
But what they said is, he fights for me, he'll go to bat for me.
People don't feel that way about the Democrats, so that's where they have to go.
You need to know, harm reduction saying, don't go, you know, we're not going to go after the Republican or we're, or this is our message and don't go beyond it.
Even being in Congress over and over, hearing, oh, don't, don't, don't go after it.
don't say anything. Yeah. The quorum and you know, um, but that's these folks are rolling
back our rights. They're stripping stripping our rights. They are, you know, they're, they're,
they're tearing away our social safety net and so much more. So we should be calling
it out. And so even in this race in this deep blue sea, I'm calling them out every
single chance I get because that's the harm in my community. You know, um, and
If we won't call the boogeyman the boogeyman, you know, if we can't do that, then how do
you get to, how do you get the change?
If people don't know, if you're not making sure people understand that, Democrats should
have the loudest boogeypore pit.
Because of what Trump is doing, we should have the loudest boogeypore pit, and instead,
you know, we keep trying this, you know, can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
And it's a bullhorn just blaring over our, over our messages.
I think they're leaning into the overall discontent with Trump.
It's the James Carville method.
I mean, he very quickly, early on, came out and said,
Democrats should just, you know, wait it out.
They should just show their belly and they should submit.
So they show the voter base exactly what it looks like
to have Trump as president and how chaotic that is.
Now, that's not what the Democrats did in 2016.
16. They actually, liberal or not, created some form of resistance. Obviously it wasn't
enough from my estimation, but there was something there, and I think that's part of the reason
why a lot of voters actually decided to reward the Democrats for at least aesthetically
fighting back. We haven't really seen that this time around. Do you feel like this
is a dangerous gamble for the Democratic Party to just like, wait it out and expect
there to be a marginal victory, or do you think there's an opportunity to do something
more to actually try to fight a legislative battle and to demand more from elected representatives
to do more and do right by their constituents, their voters?
You have to do it all right now because all of it is hitting us right now.
Project 2025 is 53% done.
They only have 69 objectives left that they haven't started.
How do we say, wait until November?
waiting till the midterms and everything is going to turn around. How do we say
wait when when hundreds of thousands of people have lost their jobs and we're
saying wait you know I who gets to wait the people who have a stable job who
own a bunch of homes who have a bunch of property and you get to wait but the
but the regular everyday person does not and so we need a party that will
that will pull all the levels, whether it's a legislative response and, you know, it's
a and, we need to come at it from the local level, the state level, the federal level.
We need to make sure that we put, like I said before, where are our attorneys?
Not only our attorneys, we're our law students.
Put our law students on.
You all do this work, like everybody has a place right now.
Because how did we lose this town, how did we mess up voting rights yesterday?
you know, or the day before, how did we, how did we do that?
That is something that will, in total,
if we have, you know, we've heard that they're,
that they're going to be possibly from states
that will go ahead and like change their maps,
you know, to make them, you know, all democratic,
you know, in, in, in blue state.
But is that all we can do?
Like, is that the only answer?
Put in the people who have been saying, look, this is what I do, put Ayanna Presley.
Let's hear what Ayanna Presley has to say.
You know, a brilliant mind.
Put her up.
Let's hear what Pramila Jayapal has to say, another brilliant mind.
Put Ilhan in.
Put Ilhan in.
Hey.
You know, like I, like quit looking over these folks because they're brilliant.
They just keep getting keep getting sidelined and look at the difference.
My district is different than Ayanna Preston's.
But that message could still be the same in Windows folks.
It's two very different districts, Boston and St. Louis.
Yeah, all right, well, we got a bunch of stuff that we're gonna do, right?
Yeah, we are.
I think we have a rally to get to.
We have a rally.
It's May Day.
Yeah.
It's a very significant day, especially around the world.
It's unfortunately not as significant in America.
We have a separate Labor Day, even though the labor movement
and labor militancy in this country
actually played a formative role
in the establishment of May Day itself.
Why do you think that's the case?
Why do you think America has a different Labor Day
as opposed to May Day, which is the international Labor Day
when a lot of demonstrations take place?
Because I think that, you know, first of all...
I'm going to try this hummus while you explain that.
Okay. Help yourself.
First of all, we don't...
The United States has an issue with how we interact internationally anyway.
So I think that the... us having our own day, for our own Labor Day, yes.
Oh, okay. Let's have it.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I gotta do a mic stop. Okay. Yeah, let's have an our own Labor Day. I think it is not that we shouldn't support. Not that we shouldn't support our workers, but I feel like that's a different deal. The fact that we don't even talk about international workers day, like today, people said to me, why are you all, why are you all doing something for international workers day?
It was a jab.
It was a part of the international labor force.
Yeah.
Well, yes.
And so it was shocking that there was a jab at me, was that why are you all, like, what
is international workers day?
When I just sat with, when I just sat with, I just rallied with a group of graduate students
who were workers that were asking for a fair pay.
they were asking for their dignity at their job.
And they were saying, we're international students.
And the way that we are treated in this country,
just trying to get our education.
So that's why it's important.
And I feel like St. Louis has a history
much like many other places,
especially much like many other black communities,
specifically Gary Indiana, Flynn Michigan,
Detroit where St. Louis had a lot of industry that has of course pulled away
and and now is a part of a string of other towns and cities that have been
left behind and is a downward trajectory and I think part of that is
also the the the labor military that existed here that no longer exists in
the same degree. True. True. True. Because we had a lot of, we had our, we had our uprisings
in the labor movement here in St. Louis. And, and whether it was the labor movement, you
know, that even filtered into Tenderness Rights movements. And I mean, you know, many decades
ago. So St. Louis, you know, even 100 years ago, St. Louis was definitely a place where
that was organizing for workers, they was shut down in St. Louis in order to be able to get
fair wages and fair treatment with the different types of industry we have here, especially
along this river. And so much of that is gone. But why is it gone?
Chicago.
Chicago.
That's what I've heard.
Yeah, well, you know, I won't go into the Chicago piece.
We won't talk about the Chicago piece.
Oh, man.
I just got a lot of strong thoughts in the room.
Sing a little bit of Chicago.
Now I love my Chicago people.
Where are the Cardinals, Jane?
Oh.
Oh, she's in just a short part.
Yeah, it's Mike River.
You got me again? No. Yeah, you came to the same place for us. We wanted to give you a look. Oh my God. Yeah, open it.
Okay, let's take a look here. I'm doing an unboxing. This is a very dynamic live stream that we're doing here.
Thank you so much. You got the four-runner, Cory Boer. Oh hell yeah. I'm putting this on eBay.
We get it, then we don't need it back again.
Yeah, alright.
No.
Um, we got, what is this?
Old Vienna of St. Louis Red Hot Riplets.
Can you do a hot?
Oh, I do.
Those are pants.
Okay.
Hell yeah.
And then, what do we got?
Oh!
Little vocord bush merch.
Campaign merch.
You don't get the hot boys.
Let's go!
I do!
Thank you! Thank you so much!
Absolutely!
Yeah, we have a...
Yeah, it's in this part, but you do have a high-void shirt.
Hell yeah!
I'll do it, I'll do it.
Put that all out here.
Oh yeah, that's true.
Easy.
Let's put it in the bag so you can eat it later.
Yay!
I do like spicy things.
Chad Donnie is here as well. How are we doing?
Hey, Marge.
It's good to see you.
It's so good to see you.
How are you doing?
Far too long.
You're looking smart.
He's the most abused producer here as well.
Good man.
What's the plan?
Good to see you again.
What's the plan you guys are?
What's next?
Marge?

Yeah, I believe that there there's a rally
And we're gonna be speaking at the rally as well course gonna be given a speech of the rally
They want me to talk as well. I said yeah, I'll do it
As you know, I love you happy
You've been on a tour right here in Pennsylvania last yesterday yesterday
I've been going around we're doing the world tour right now
I haven't seen you in a suit guy.
He's a suit guy now.
It's partially because of Zoran.
Okay.
I feel like he had...
He put on the suit and I was like,
you know what? We should be a little bit more proper.
Now I feel that.
Now I'm going to...
Like a schlub.
No, it's good.
Now they'll be able to distinguish between you and I.
Because that was a problem.
Whenever we go to the protest
Whenever we walk by, some people come up to Dony and be like, Hassan, Hassan, can I get a picture?
I can see that. I can see that.
You're a good politician, good liar.
Oh my God!
I know how to turn on the actors when I need to.
I will...
I know how to let you have what you want.
You can't forget, I'm a nurse too by trade, so I'm not about it.
Yeah!
Sure!
Yes.
Um...
Okay, we're good to go.
Okay, chat.
Bear with me here.
We're with us here as we transit and figure out what we're doing, where we're going.
You guys know the drill?
I'm simply one man with a camera and a lot of moving parts around me.
Start flashbang you.
Oh, is he still in here?
You mean my Red Bull?
Thank you so much.
Thank you for everything.

Yeah.
Okay.
All right.

The doughnuts?
Okay.
Oh, we're big of a shirt too.
We're heading over, yeah, they did.
Shouts out Medina.
And it's their resistance shirt, he said.
What size is it?
That's definitely going to fit you, so I'm going to take it.
What size is it?
It's my size.
What size?
God damn it.
This is not going to fit you.
You're right, you're right, you're right.
That's how I get most of my merch, too.
Yeah.
Hello in the game.
Very much.
You're basically just getting me a meeting.
Um, she's the best.
Yeah, she looks.
Also, y'all, if you don't have the means to donate, remember phone banking.
Yeah, if you're not able to say it, you can just call if you can't make it to St. Louis.
Yeah, it's Caroline's Greed is the type of greed they write about in the Bible, okay?
Oh, really?
My treat, I was just about to offer you.
I already have one.
So what's crazy is she literally pulled up the can of red bull that I brought that I was
going to finish that I did finish and she goes she shakes and she goes a little rat finished
my rebel.
I was like you're a red bull.
You're a red bull.
I opened it up.
That's crazy.
Is that how it works?
The rat finished off my red bull.
It's wild.
You better not go anywhere near my barbecue chips that I got from Cora.

a real good too bad kind of food is st. Louis no barbecue I like that good as
barbecue we're to the pizza restaurant here that's I said what they're known
for good I'm just saying the pizza was good but they are known for barbecue
They have this iconic ice cream place, Ted Drews.
I think initially there was a lot of Italian and what German people that lived here?
St. Louis was like...
Saint Louis, well, French.
Yeah, it does not.
So, what was it?
You're right.
Here's Union Station.
Oh wow, there's a beautiful rally.
Yeah, she is.
Can't believe you tried to laugh at me for calling this blue. You've never been here.

Are they coming by car too? Or are they behind us?

I think so. I'm waiting for Cory.
Okay, I wasn't sure.
Yeah, but you guys are not already.

I'm intentionally not revealing my location.

Let me text their group real quick and see what they're up to there
It's a little, it's getting a little chilly
You can get some food in the summer so this is like 5 or 5 other

How are you doing?
Thanks for meeting me.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Hello.
Nice to meet you.
Hello.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.

Thank you.
Finally someone has arrived.
Yeah.
Okay.
You gotta say hello.
We're gonna get to walk at this point.
We might as well just fucking have to keep going.
Okay.
It's all good.
It's all good for me because I used to be a friend.
The sound is literally the reason that you hope we don't have a problem with your life
I'm sorry.
You're welcome.
You're welcome.
You're welcome.
Are you all taking these?
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Um...
Wow, nice.
Are you getting some light shots?
Yeah, I'm Jeremy.
Nice to meet you.
Hi, I'm Son.
Hi, I'm Kylie. I'm the late organiser.
Oh, hell yeah, well thank you, thank you.
Yeah, you do your security.
Yeah.
Yeah, you do.
Why am I standing like this?
Because you're securing the premises.
Yup.
I'm your private security, actually.
Well, thank you, because I need it.
You're welcome.
Not enough of that, honestly.
I'm standing like this.
This is the security.
This is the security.
What do they say about?
What do they say about?
Is there a place where a staging area for speakers and stuff?
Okay, so can we just go with that?
Yeah, we should go then.
Okay, wait, they just arrived.
Okay, probably over there.
I don't think she's getting dropped off over here, is she?
Let's go to the staging area.
Alright, quick.
It's not hard to figure.
We're open staging people.
Take a stand.
Alright, thank you man.
Appreciate you guys.
Appreciate you too.
We'll be back, we'll be around.
What's up man?
I'm sorry.
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Okay.
See, guys, the seating is...
Yeah.
Whatever you allow your government to do internationally, the government will do to you here in the United States.
All right, all right. So we're going to go over here.
There is no separation between the workers of the world and the workers of Missouri.
This is why ICE uses locally the same tactics and equipment Israel uses against Palestinians.
And this is why we must fight together and not on our own.
To conclude, the planet's workers' life begins at the end of our comfort zone.
Today, Missouri and Illinois have left our comfort zone to stay united to the billionaires
ruining our dreams. No business as usual. You are bound to respect our rights.
Look around you. Last year we were a hundred people gathered for May Day. Today we are
thousands. So my last message to you, this is not a time to whine. This is not a time
to complain about small things. And differences, this is a time to fight and win. Will the
billionaires we save of conditional surrender to the workers.
Hello everybody, how are we doing?
It's all good to be with you today.
My name is Emily Raleigh, and I'm a PhD student at Washington.
Thank you so much.
I'm very, very short period of time.
I eat your love in New York with a dream.
We'll talk to you later.
And like thousands of other international students here.
We're not going to have a rest in New York for a better education.
Oh, wow.
So you guys are all in the place?
I'm so proud.
I'm glad I was part of this community.
Please, students from Tindall.
Go come back.
I'm from Mexico.
I'm from the following country.
I'm near the back of the country.
I'm pretending I'm not a fan.
I'm a 10-year-old.
I'm a 10-year-old.
I'm a 10-year-old.
I personally, I study how to do jikuns
and not go to any of the classes.
Don't be a fan.
Actually, I've got an element of...
He came out and said he's going to work with the anti-DBS mechanism.
It's interesting because he himself was responsible for anti-DBS legislation.
We'll need two discoveries and a better one for everybody.
Yeah, tea bleach.
This is me, Jason.
Yeah, tea bleach.
Bro, this is tea bleach.
What's up, Chad?
What's up, Mike?
I'm Michael.
I'm from the university.
We can clean up the trash.
Life and experience.
And I'm home and streets to the tents and tents across the state.
Can I get a phone call?
Can you guys take a look?
Okay.
I have a problem with that, but probably I'm going to say how much it is.
I have a problem with that.
Yeah, no.
In May last year, my father of my school, and I have heard from a community,
I'm very happy to thank him.
But I want to go home, and watch him go back to his home.
I'm kind of stuck with the military,
because that is the only person who's in the state.
There is no place for those who are free and safe.
We're denied the port at Air Force.
There is no place to help us compete for studies,
and I work in graduate and move on in the fight.
And even if I go kind of,
where are we going to go when I'm here
at our gorge at the St. Louis?
Two weeks ago, I was at a middle school.
Right from the middle school in St. Louis County.
The police have been very deep-frozen.
There's like this normal guy with a camera there.
And that is, that is what it is.
And we had a year ago.
I don't even know what time it is in our community.
Washington has no plan for three thousand international fees.
and Master's degree and 600 full-starts,
not to mention hundreds of faculty and staff
and custodial workers in Canada.
All right.
Meanwhile, we've also been cutting programs
that include diversity in STEM,
in staff at the Red Star,
in the STEM to the I,
and in addressing systemic connections in academia.
And last month, Washington platform, the former secretary, former assistant secretary of the
Department of Homeland Security, which is a very unique item, non-citizens.
And it is in advance calls protecting the homeland, legal and operational necessity
of rights on a campus that is not a compulsion of non-citizens.
Yeah!
Meanwhile they also purchased student exception and student booths for anything that they did on this political speech.
I know I deserve better. I know I do all deserve better and I also know that that is not an opportunity.
And so last year, in October, when our cancer was incisioning on the special white collar
from the compact, which is disavowed and disciplined, black brown and queer children were seen for federal funding,
We're going to lack the support of money and likely a better year of taxing in the $13
billion dollars in minutes.
I work in it with my fellow Ratworth Hicks, who's the one that I work with in the news.
She's a great person.
We're going to be working in some negotiations.
In February, they will deliver 200 handmade Valentine's Day cards,
It's like not joining the TV background.
Honestly, we've been heard back.
We've only made one two-point, but not enough.
We've had an amazing...
What do we need? What are we going to?
I think we're going to be the first to do this.
We're here to demand that Washington protect
international workers and scholars by creating an emergency fund,
a legal defense fund for students with status issues.
issue for anyone with status issues, and to guarantee the academic status and disease
control independent of these issues, we want all members of the community to be trained
to use enforcement rights under the Constitution to reject the lawful third procedure.
And we've also had in response to fund-related expenses for the university, we've had some
evening crux across the preclines and arts and sciences, and we also have a separate
company and local letter going from Long-Way to those for the hand-stating of six-year
funding for our PhD students.
And so, today, I'm standing here with you on International Boil for Peace.
With students, data born, and horn born, we're standing with workers and immigrants
who may be able to talk to the country, and the man, ISE, out on life.
This is a back-pack. This is a back-pack for the country.
I'm standing together with the man, to ask you to put students in our community
before the billionaire trustee.
We want a multidimensional democracy that values all of us and whether it's who we are, where we're from, what we love, or the color of our skin.
We want all of us to have respect, dignity, and freedom.
When we fight, we win!
Our next speaker, the comedian, David Dexter, then yours, me.
Louder!
Can you see the text messages still like the IRL guys in the discourse so it pops up in the group chat they're wearing?
Because I can't find it.
Ask them if the password to the TVU backpack changed as they do vlog me on.
I stand before you today as a constant disbelief.
It's been almost a year since the death of the tornado has destroyed a very intricate part of the heart of this city.
People in the fire will stand by and be nothing.
Chase!
Chase!
Hey!
You understand my community, I can tell you that here,
it's like I've been seen as a child.
Yeah.
Leave the trees and the green, I love to see them from now to now.
I miss them.
Almost four years later, the Georgians are recovering.
Messaging with me in the back?
Yeah, they're in the trash, the searches.
Like, I mean, why are they seen on this group?
They're all right.
It's just if our voices aren't being heard,
and our people are running this group,
I've never had the proper resources, so it's time to make things right.
We think that's just a green.
It's not just our fight.
Yeah, I just got back out of it.
The thousands of politicians and the policies to work for the people.
Speak on it.
There's balance between them and every inch of the people.
And the people, the people who talk at the most are afraid to answer.
When one's on the one side, there's a table of questions for the five.
and only to the title.
We're after the street.
Life is...
Life will be as smooth as the angle of the flow like a fist.
This city has the resources to lead.
That's right, that's right.
It should be the same as itself.
Right.
And essentially, we're standing.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah.
We'll look out the ways tonight.
I think we'll be fine.
And soon, we'll be ready to fight it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I just want to say, most people, there is no policy, there is no name, there is no
We're about to go on right now, I think.
Yeah.
Here.
You're quick.
Woo!
Here's your turn.
All right.
One, two, three.
Northside!
Northside!
Northside!
Northside!
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
We're going to find nursing assistants.
And these are our new health care leaders.
Yeah!
We're going to find nursing assistants.
We think we're out there.
What's up?
Sure.
S.D.I.U.
S.D.I.U.
My name is Remonda Walker.
And I've been a health care worker in St. Louis for over 25 years.
I'm a proud member of my union, F.D.I.U. Health Care.
I need to tell you something.
I'm tired.
I'm tired of showing up for people that won't show up for us.
I'm tired of fighting for things that should already be ours.
I'm tired of being here and getting more and more with working people like me, but left
to scramble.
I've worked at my nursing home for 12 years.
The residents are my people.
A lot of them don't give business.
So we are their family.
A lot of them don't give business, so we are their family.
I'd love, in my honor, to make sure the third day's a better one.
We have over 100 residents and we might have one private tape.
One.
So when you talk about Medicaid cuts, this is what I heard.
My residents are getting pushed out.
Your facility is being closed.
No, it's not.
So, where did that go?
Were the residents there? Were the nursing homes sitting down?
Nurse seniors, they have nowhere to go.
I have watched nursing homes sit down.
And I know what happens to the residents.
They don't make it.
But billionaires, they don't have to worry about that.
They just pay more and more.
Why, we pay it every single time.
That is why we are here today. May Day International Workers Day.
The debt, they have always belonged to the workers, who refuse to stay quiet, and who
know that the only way we win is together but what I learned after doing this
work for over 25 years you you have to speak up because if you don't they're
not going to get to you have to go get it.
Trump and our governor and their being our friends.
They're counting us to stay tired and stay home and give
look. We are not doing that. We are not quiet. And we're not going anywhere.
We're working families on our attack. What do we do?
What do we do?
What do we do?
I've watched you since 2019.
This is a great day.
It's awesome to see you.
You're the best.
You're the best.
S-E-I-U.
Shut it down!
Shut it down!
Shut it down. Shut it down. Shut it down. Shut it down. We shut it down. We shut it down. We shut it down.
Come on, one more time for STIU.
Are you tired of being sick and tired?
All right, let's stand up and fight back.
It's an honor to bring to the stage the Honorable Cory Bush.
Oh
We also have with us Mr. Hassan, Piker, and political commentator, Mr. Piker.
What's going on, St. Lawrence?
Wow.
Wow.
It's going to be a tough act to follow, those ladies.
They really brought it, but I'm going to try my very best.
It's a real honor to be here today on this beautiful day.
International Workers' Day, May Day.
A day...
A day that we're here to celebrate.
The day that, weirdly enough, doesn't get a lot of notice in the United States of America.
I wonder why.
It's interesting.
I feel like St. Louis doesn't get a lot of notice either, even though it deserves all the praise.
3-1-4?
3-1-4?
3-1-4!
I just traveled from Philadelphia, where I was...
Okay, you don't have to praise him that much.
We're here for St. Louis.
Yeah, I traveled from Philadelphia to Gay here this morning and someone stopped me at the airport.
They're like, are you that guy? Are you that political commentary guy? And I was like, yeah.
And she said to me, what are you doing in St. Louis? And from what I understand,
at least what many of you here in my community have communicated to me,
a lot of people don't come to St. Louis, apparently. And I don't know why.
Because this is a beautiful city. And there's a lot of beautiful people here.
When all my travels I've seen a lot of places like St. Louis.
Places that have been left behind by wealthy corporations that pollute your waters,
that steal your productive output, and then spend it on themselves.
But today and every day from here on out we say no more.
For the longest time, I felt disillusioned like many of you probably did as well.
2016 Bernie Sanders, we went out, we door knocked, 2020 the same thing and in a sequence
of defeats from corporate democrats
there were wonderful jams that came out of that movement
people like kory bush
people like kory who put ordinary folks like
like yourselves first in her campaign and in her legislative battles, people who put their
bodies on the line to make sure that the eviction moratorium was halted, that the eviction moratorium
continued to make sure that those who are unhoused got the housing necessary.
But there's a price.
There's a price that people pay sometimes.
That price was nine million dollars.
Nine million dollars, the second most expensive congressional primary.
That's what it took for Israel to subvert the democratic process to unseat a wonderful
fighter and put an A-packed stooge like Wesley Bell in charge to punish someone for saying
the truth to punish someone for being uncompromising. But what are we gonna do?
I didn't say that. I'm already in enough trouble. I don't know my clarity anymore trouble.
But while we were disillusioned for far too long, just as the speakers that came before
for me addressed. Last year they said there was 100 people here. This year there's thousands.
Because this movement is growing. There are ordinary folk just like yourselves who recognize
right from wrong and who will fight back and who will have their voices be heard.
For far too long we've been told you have to vote for harm reduction.
We all know the republicans are corrupt.
We all know that they're monsters, they're races, they're traffic and hatred.
But we are here to say we are no longer going to vote for do nothing democrats either.
We're avoiding the Republicans with a purpose.
Fuck it, Pat! Fuck it, Pat!
And that's precisely why it is a great honor for me to be here alongside Cory Bush today
and introduce to you, hopefully once again, the rightful candidate for Congress.
What is St. Louis under attack, what do we do, what do we do, what do we do, what do we do, what do we do, what do we do.
I'm so glad to be here with all of you, y'all we keep doing this, we keep coming back and
coming back and coming back, but I love seeing y'all just don't love why I keep seeing y'all.
Thank you for coming to St. Louis.
Thank you for prioritizing our community because like you said, others won't and others don't.
We have people who are our elected representatives who don't prioritize us.
So thank you so much and thank you for your voice and for being uncompromising in your position
We need people all over the internet who know what they want who know how to go get it and who are
Uncompromising and who will go save the thing and so we really appreciate you being here to St. Louis
We were talking about workers.
Workers who have need of home.
Workers have need of clean air.
Workers have need of clean water.
Workers have need of sanitation,
electricity, gas, transportation.
And so when we're in health care, so when we talk about workers, and we talk about the
rights of workers, we're not just talking about making sure you get paid the wage that
you deserve, making sure that that's livable.
We're not just talking about making sure you're at the table.
We're talking about making sure we wrap around your whole life.
because workers take care of the people workers are the people and workers take
care of the people because I can tell you the last time I went to the store I
didn't check myself out and then go home with the item somebody checked me
out and I was happy that I didn't have to do with somebody checked me out
and then I went home. But what did I do? I drove the car. Somebody made the car I drove
and I was happy to have a car to drive. But for those of us who take public transportation,
there is somebody behind that wheel and that's somebody that we hope is doing right by it
because they have precious cargo on that bus. Workers, workers rights are human rights.
We're standing up here today in solidarity with our international workers as well as
our workers from this country.
We don't care where you come from, we don't care where you work, we don't care who you
serve.
I don't even care if you voted for me last time.
I care that you have your right and that those rights are protected.
And so in order to protect your rights, we need people in seats, and this is all across
the country.
We need people in the seats that see you, people in the seats that think that that
is dignity to call out your name and do some work for you.
People that don't believe that they deserve to be served by you.
People that will go the extra mile.
The Northside shouldn't look like what the Northside would look like.
We have billionaires who are sitting on money and their workers are the ones on food stamps.
We have workers who don't have the money to buy a vehicle.
They have to use public transportation,
but the corporations and the billionaires
are making money hand over fist.
We say, we say that we're standing up for workers,
but what we're really doing is we're standing up
for all of humanity together.
So our workers and those who want to work,
but can't work, we're standing up for those folks too.
This is about every single one of us so when we go to our elected y'all we're
saying fully fund the north side
we don't want your big box today to sit in our community
We're saying we don't want your police shooting fire and range in our community.
We're saying put money into our education, put money into our schools, put the money into no care.
And lastly, if you can't stand up to Donald Trump and his administration
On the city level, the state level or the federal level, then you're no representative for us.
If you can't stand up to Donald Trump and his allies, then how are you supposed to stand up for us if you can't stand up to them?
That will just don't know your name.
And while I signed up for a job, will you not willing to fight?
If you're not willing to fight, move out the way, because I know some fighters.
I know some of you who are just out of fighters that can replace you.
I know some folks in actions like Lewis that can replace you.
So, as we get ready to march, we're ready to march.
Make these St. Louis streets hear you.
Make these St. Louis streets recognize we're in the street because today is our day.
And when they say, oh, a general strike, just for one day, what does it do?
Your response back should be, what did you do?
You want to show up tomorrow?
We can show up tomorrow.
You want to show up for 400 days like we did in Ferguson?
We can show up for 400 days.
They don't want that kind of smoke down.
Even want to hear us say abolish ICE,
but it's abolish ICE.
That's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm saying.
And any elected official there is
standing saying that our police
need to work with ice. We come in to vote you out.
When immigrants are under attack, what do we do?
When immigrants are under attack, what do we do?
What do we do?
What do we do?
Yes, Saint Louis, let's go.
We want more of you!
We want more of you!
We want more of you!
We want more of you!
We'll be home before we leave.
What way do you have?
That way?
Oh, he's getting flicked up.
Awesome.
I'm gonna be in the back out of this picture.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Oh, God.
I'm coming.
Where are we going?
Bella, look at that light.
You got an extra star.
Oh, you think?
She saw it?
All right.
Just have a bad break.
Bye.
Oh, that's an hour away.
An hour away?
No, it was an hour.
Oh, it was an hour away.
Oh, we got our first half of the day, right here.
Excuse me.
We're all tied with the bow.
Oh, you're all tied.
The second is just this.
He's here.
We gotta move, y'all.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Okay, here's your fire.
When I say fire, I'm ready to...
Of course, please, please.
Here's your fire.
Here's your fire.
Glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory.
Glory.
Come on, dude.
What?
What do you want to do?
I don't know what to do here.
Good.
Oh, yeah.
So, I was thinking maybe we could bring the others on the line.
No, let's go and get them.
Oh, they're doing it.
I'm going to wait until they start going and...
They're still waiting.
So, I don't know what we're doing here.
I'm trying to figure out the logistics.
Uh, they're trying to figure out the music.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
There you go.
Uh...
They're trying to go in here.
I'm happy to sort of go in here.
I just want us to do it.
Hey, I don't have my phone.
Maybe y'all can use it.
I'm gonna take your phone so that they don't have to pay.
I don't want to make it that y'all can use it.
I'm trying to get my phone so I can stay there.
Yeah, we wanted to do something like that.
Yeah, that would be.
So we can wait right here.
You can take pictures right here.
Everybody else that's smart.
Because these people stand right here.
We're going to take pictures.
Alright, so, um, where's Senator?
I don't know.
He's the future president of the United States.
We're not.
That's the fun.
You want to go to the school?
There you go.
I promise to be.
Okay. They just gonna stay right here.
I'm gonna go to the school.
I'm gonna go to the school.
I don't know where to stay.
I don't know how to be there.
I don't think I will.
Alright.
I'm gonna go to the school.
I'm gonna go to the school.
Of course.
You can imagine yourself over there.
Zippo, communism is a place.
I got that in the most case of town I've ever seen.
I don't know why they were selling it.
They usually sell it, makes it a nice memorabilia.
It's proposable deniability, so they can be like,
oh, I love history.
Well, that was their last one.
It was so nice to see you.
You're doing good.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
The fact that we saw each other again should not be here.
Yeah, let's do it.
I want to do it.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you so much.
I'm gonna appear right here.
Thank you so much.
All right.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Go right here next to him.
Got to see him, guys.
Thank you.
Yeah, there you are.
How are you, man?
Yeah, I'm good.
I'm good.
I was doing that today.
I'm doing everybody's thing.
Oh, I heard that you guys got, like, cross-acutely.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They got so much.
Thank you.
Also, I never get to sit on this side.
I'm all the days.
I fuck this shit.
That's for me, oh thank you.
This is my dad.
Hello, hi.
How you doing?
Nice to meet you.
Hey, please meet you, man.
You know, man, thanks for being here.
You know, thanks for calling in the mouth.
You know, man, we just got work to do in St. Louis, you know, and whatever you can do.
whatever you can do to help my daughter get her things back.
Of course.
Don't try my best.
Yes, sir.
All right, you are, we're going to go this way.
Oh, that was cool.
I thought that was good.
Oh, tell me.
You're a mess.
You're a mess.
You're a mess.
You're a mess.
You're a mess.
You're a mess.
You're a mess.
You're a mess.
Rachel Maddow, 24-7, you got that in your head?
You got this.
All right.
Hey.
Oh, he's by the care.
Yeah, he's by the care.
Oh, he's by the care.
Oh, my God.
He's seven marks.
Oh, he's so cute.
He's a good boy, Bear.

The wife made you this char.
Oh, thank you.

Thank you.
Let's fix it.
Thank you.
You want one?
All right, that's all we got. Keep moving.
Thanks a lot, brother.
We got to keep going.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I'm glad that people are celebrating International Workers' Day, it's something that I grew
up seeing in Turkey and I was a little confused as to why they don't celebrate it in the United
States of America, but I feel like it says something about this movement growing, that
there are more and more people participating in this International Day of Celebration and
And what do you think people need to know about stuff like this?
You have no value without labor.
And I think that the more people recognize that, the more people recognize their class position,
the better our politics will be, the more productive our politics will be.
Thank you so much.
You're a huge fan.
You're a huge fan.
Are you interested?
Yeah.
84 percent.
We're going to keep going.
Yeah.
oh this is a you're doing energy
so is this for the ploy or is this for the ploy yeah but the ploy is for the
setup payment on nowhere
it's going to be associated to a closed line
oh okay yeah no one told me that
yeah I'm fine with it we we were gonna do something with CNN too so I
alright well we can do it here we can use
I don't see it, should we just do it here?
We can do it, we don't want to talk to the secretary.
Why don't you guys do something and we'll do it before it gets tough and then we'll come back together.
Okay, okay.
So we talk to you?
Alright, yeah.
I think Cory's going to be doing like an interview around the system.
Okay, so, Sean, can we just interview him here?
I mean it's a good vibe, right?
other way around probably, right?
Right?
Where's the seat?
I know it's fine, but I'm not going to go over there.
I think we're going to have to crowd around this.
That's fine.
Me? Oh yeah, of course.
I'd say when I say it, it looks terrible.
Thank you, folks.
Staying real quick.
Thanks for coming, you're the best.
I'll be right back.
Get there and I'll get the shirts.
Come on, be here.
Let's get out of the way.
Oh, sure.
Yeah.
All right, yeah.
Doing quick.
I know.
I'm just going around.
Let me bring you something better.
See you later.
I'm just going to go over here.
All right, is he scared?
He right here.
He right here.
He right here.
He right here.
He right here.
He right here.
All right, is he scared?
He right here.
He right here.
He right here.
He right here.
We want to shout out to my girlfriend.
She's here.
I wish she would not be here.
I wish she would not be here.
I wish she would not be here.
I wish she would not be here.
I wish she would not be here.
All right, where's the...
Right here.
Right here.
Over here.
Oh.
All right, I'm sorry.
Get this.
More shapes to go.
Start.
This is like this.
This is good.
And then you need to be eyes up.
Off the time on...
on Mido and Mido.
Where are P. Mido?
It's me.
And Chat, you're oldest friend?
Oh, OK.
Check it out.
I should throw it over here.
Check.
OK.
This side?
Let's see.
Let's do it.
Imagine me.
Imagine me.
What are you doing?
I'm doing a little mix.
Let's do it.
Imagine me.
I'm going to go here.
You got three copies.
One was from my girlfriend, my parents,
who you've got to share it with.
Wow, thank you so much. This is amazing.
We're doing the two-in-one event in New York.
Oh, yeah.
This is your life now, huh?
Yeah. Yeah.
Sometimes it feels like you're running.
No, I get it.
What people keep saying, well, I'm not.
Would you ever?
No, probably not.
Well, two reasons.
One, I feel like I have a lot more impact this way,
because I've seen what it takes.
Even the one day that I spent with Abdul and Michigan
is, I mean, the burden is unbelievable.
You don't have to take it your whole life to want to get one race.
So the way I see it is I make this calculation where I have no guaranteed victory and put
all of my efforts into one race for myself, or I can get highlight real fighters that
come from the different communities all around the country and be able to leverage the
platform that I have and make sure that their voices are heard so they get a fair
shake.
not going to get it from corporate media or even the party at times.
Why Thorie Bush? Why come here? I mean, she's a real fighter. I really appreciate what she did.
When she was in Congress, I thought that it was unbelievable that APEC would spend so much
money to unseat her as a warning to not just punish her for saying the truth about what
what April was doing before anyone else developed the moral courage to do so.
But also as a warning to other candidates as well.
And I see my presence in a similar way.
I think if you're out there for the people, if you're there for
truth and justice, then I'll be there for you and my community will be there for
you and that's why I'm here.
We were at the DNC together two years ago.
That's when you were speaking out about U.S. policies toward Israel.
Obviously, that's also the year that Cory Bush lost his seat here.
How have things changed in the last two years when it comes to Democratic Party and Israel?
I think the Democratic Party hasn't changed all that much, unfortunately.
There is some aesthetic posturing in the direction of the majority.
But it's become undeniable that this is a major issue,
a major contradiction, where there is a real divergence here
in the interests of the population,
and not just the Democratic base.
Within the Democratic Party, it's 90-10, right?
Only 10% of people want to continue supporting Israel.
90% want a ceasefire.
90% want to stop selling arms to Israel.
But as far as the politicians go,
It's almost revered, you know, you got 10% of the politicians, maybe a little bit larger
percentage now that are willing to abide by the moral center of the party, and not just
the party necessarily, but the moral center of the country on this issue.
Is this a gamble for the Democratic Party because, you know, there's been a lot of
heat on you the past few months, you went to Michigan, then the phone numbers went
up.
Are you concerned that in this primary process and pushing the candidates that you're pushing,
you might end up hurting the Democrats nationally in a general election?
There's always a concern.
This is what the Convention on Wisdom in Washington is.
They're saying you and others like you are pulling the party too far to the left
and you're going to alienate the American people?
Yeah, I've heard this concern a lot, but I'm not the first person who's heard concerns like this.
They said this about Zoran. They said, my allegiance with Zoran was actually going to hurt his genesis.
Andrew Cuomo tried to exploit that. He tried to really hammer on this point,
but I was a dangerous radical and so was Zoran by associating with me.
with me and now he's one of the most popular politicians in the country and I would say
one of the best politicians in the country, as a matter of fact, is he's just doing the
work, right? And people are rewarding him for it. As far as the conventional wisdom in
Washington, I think for far too long, the conventional wisdom in Washington was don't
respond to the needs of the people. Always focus test your messaging and try to find
the moderate, centrist vision.
And we're finding out that the Zoran style tendency
that Bernie cracks are rising up in popularity
and fighting against the establishment
and seeing tremendous success.
First they said, oh, Zoran, he's barely gonna win
in New York, he's too radical, he's too far left,
but that only works in New York.
Once Zoran wins, they say, oh, that only works
in New York, they won't work in a purple state
like May, and now you've got Grant Fladner, who was outperforming the governor of the state
from May, and is hopefully going to defeat Susan Collins and flip a red senate seat blue.
So it turns out, maybe this kind of politics works everywhere in the country because there's
workers everywhere in the country. And a politics that centers the working class
is going to work anywhere with our work.
You've really blown up in the national political scene over the last two months.
And there was a while there where there was a debate within the democratic party, and
I think just out of the media, to essentially say, you're a persona, not a robber.
you are cancelled and it is damaging for them to see what you do.
Between as we're flying now and as the USA and America dies,
it seems like more and more Democrats are just getting on board with you, I guess,
of realising that you're speaking to a good situation, see that might matter.
Talk me through how the past few months have been.
Did you think you'd get counseled?
I mean, I don't think I got counseled.
No, no, but was there a point where you were like,
No, it's gonna work. No.
The reason why I never thought that is because
I'm a leftist in America. I'm an anti-Azerialist in America.
This is the Agerial Board.
My kind of politics was rarely ever heard of
in American mainstream political discourse.
I think Bernie did a whole lot to open up that conversation
of my kind of politics in 2016, which is an insurgent campaign that was awfully popular.
And ever since then, the movement has grown.
This movement has always existed in America.
In the American history, it's always been fought back against.
Sometimes violently fought back against.
And the way I see it is I'm used to taking out.
I'm used to being sidelined.
I never would have ever expected this to get to any position of prominence or so if we're simply saying the truth.
So the idea that I have grown up in the past two months from my perspective is a little silly.
I've been getting yelled at, being called a terrorist, and this one is fundamental as a jihadist, dangerous, communist radical.
For damn near my entire professional media career.
But the difference now is, there's a whole lot more people here on my side.
So it's nowhere near as impactful as it would have been maybe five years ago, four years ago.
Two years ago? Even two years ago, I think.
I was receiving it two years ago, too.
But when it comes to, I mean, do you think...
Cory Bush, I've seen him for 16 years.
Two years ago.
And a big part of that because of her position on this matter.
Do you think that politics in this country has changed enough in two years that she didn't gain her seat now?
Absolutely. I 100% believe that.
And it's not just about Israel as well, it's Israel as the litmus does.
And how responsive you are to the needs of reconciliation.
If a politician is so afraid of being on the receiving end of the foreign lobby's money
faucet in the way that Cory Bush was, and that's the reason why they can't speak out
on Israel convincingly, even when their constituents are demanding it, then they're not going
to preserve democracy.
They're not going to fight back against the Republicans.
They're not going to fight back against the real estate lobby.
They're not going to fight back against the blind influences that go far beyond
Israel, the American politics.
And they're not going to make the necessary changes.
They include the material conditions
of the wonderful working class people here at St. Louis.
And the same goes for every other district
in this country as well.
So I think people are now seeing that reality.
And that's precisely the reason why the Democratic Party is
trying to find a reasonable moderate middle ground here.
They say, oh, we don't want APEC dollars,
But you know, J Street sponsorships are fine,
where they're trying to find a way to continue
maintaining support for Israel,
but not get punished by the voters
for their support for Israel.
So the struggle continues, of course,
but I do believe that the voters will reward Horry
for being a fighter and never yielding,
because that's exactly what's necessary right now.
And I do have a lot of hope that clearly people are demanding this kind of politics now.
And we're seeing that happen all around.
And we're also seeing it in some way, in some perverse way, with the way that people are attacking me.
I think that's exactly the reason why people are attacking me.
Because I'm unbossed, I'm unbought, I'm only accountable to my audience,
I'm only accountable to the people I care for.
I have no corporate sponsors.
and I think that drives a lot of people crazy because I'm not bought it, right?
Because I think a lot of people in one way shape or form are bought into the system.
If they have a big corporate donor, a big corporate donor, if they're
proficient, or even if they're an influencer, even if they're working for
or for media, for example, they have an obligation to their sponsors to a
certain degree. And I don't have that. And that's why I say how I feel and
and keep fighting for the things that I fight for.
And that is a very dangerous predicament
for those who control the levels of power
and those who have benefited from a somewhat subservient
media apparatus and certainly a servile political apparatus.
I feel like this is a media story.
I mean, this, what you're doing,
like this new episode because I think to the point you made earlier, you're still on a
license like yours and you're not on a license, you're not on a license.
They still aren't. They can only hear about me on CNN when Jake Tapper and Dana Bash
talks about me. They don't ask me to come on CNN. You've been on CNN. Well, I've been
on with you. I'm going to explain. But when it comes to criticism of you on
see an end to it or else where there is an ongoing phase in this country, you know, a difference
or if there can be a difference in critical employment.
With Israel, I think you can call yourself an anti-signalist.
Many people say you cannot be anti-signal.
I would be anti-Semitic.
I think you cannot separate those anti-signals.
I know you're going to answer this question other times, but how do you get folks like that
What comes like that?
Slowly but surely, there is a very famous Holocaust scholar,
Omar Bartow, I hope I'm saying his name right,
serving the IDF.
He did tremendously important work destroying the Queen
Vermont myth, right?
And I think he wrote a book recently talking
about the evolution of the Zionism,
from what Zionism used to be at its inception to what it's become in the aftermath of Israel's genocide in Palestine.
It's one of the first major Israeli Holocaust scholars that also wrote extensively about how Israel was doing its agendas.
Well, he's Israel.
And the way I see it is, if he who
has spent his entire life in Israel
can see that there has been an evolution with our understanding
of the modern interpretation of Zionism,
I think many others can do so as well,
especially ones that are not so connected to the state of Israel
and the underpinning ideology of Zionism.
Now, of course, I have a difference in opinion with even Barca as far as my understanding of the sign.
Having said that, however, that evolution is a necessary one, and I think when people are honest with themselves,
when people are honest with their assessment of what has taken place, when people see the warning sign,
I think anti-Zionism is an inevitability.
I'll let you go on two more questions.
Is this the Democrats' Tea Party moment?
That's what they keep saying.
Tea Party was backed by the Koch brothers.
So it was seen as an insurgent movement
from within the ranks of the party.
But as far as directionally speaking,
the Tea Party was not at odds with
the Republican Party's overall goals.
And that's precisely the reason why the very same donors of the Republican Party, the billionaires,
were capable of astro-carping this movement.
So in some ways there is a difference between what we're doing here
and what the Tea Party was able to do within the ranks of the Republican Party.
I think we're not reinventing the wheel.
It's just a demand to make the left-wing party and our current duopoly be more responsive to these in the working class.
It exists all around the world, it exists in numerous different ways, in social democracies
all around the world.
We just want healthcare.
We want to stop these endless wars.
We want to take off productive output and have more control over it, have more autonomy
in the workplace.
Yeah, it's not, he's right, it's not rocket science, it's very easy to understand
concepts.
It's a very easy to understand concept unless you're getting paid a lot of money to not understand it.
Unless you've never experienced it in any meaningful form and you've grown accustomed to a lifestyle or a lifetime of privilege.
And therefore, the only time you ever talk to an ordinary citizen, a working class individual is when they're delivering your food with each other.
Do you think that's right?
No?
You got any more questions?
I'm willing to answer.
What's the name of the candidate in Michigan?
You're called Nick Quintet.
Mallory McFarland is the one that said that.
Mallory McFarland.
Nick Quintet.
Yeah.
And then she backed away from her.
She did, no.
She recently said, you know, he's not anti-Semitic,
but he's dangerously close.
And it's still hurtful to me and my family,
which I don't even know what that means.
How do you go from calling me a Jewish insider exclusive sit-down interview, calling me the
Nick Fuentes of the left, and then say, okay, maybe he's not anti-Semitic a couple weeks
later.
I mean, this is exactly what's wrong with politics not only in this country but in every other
country as well.
It's always insincere.
Say what you mean.
Say it with your chest.
There's no issue there.
If you think I'm actually Nick Fuentes, then explain to people exactly why you
talk to me about it. I am a lifelong Democratic Party voter. You know, I went to the DNC.
We can have a conversation about this, but we have to have it on reasonable terms.
I think I heard you last night speaking in Pennsylvania.
Talk to me about how, I said to you what you're doing here, in slash, what should happen in primaries, right?
That you are having a fight with a person.
You're pushing for the objectives of your side.
And then what normally happens is people come together for the general political party.
Political party.
We didn't see you do that in 2024 in Paris.
Do you see...
The first time ever, I didn't endorse Kamala Harris in 2024.
I told people not to vote for Donald Trump.
I told people that a three-quart involved would have been a waste in general.
But I never went the full step of folk-roading if you vote for Donald Harris.
And there was good reason for that.
I think genocide is a fairly understandable red mark.
I knew full well that Donald Trump was going to vote for Kamala Harris,
course always communicated that to my audience and to anyone who would listen. I even communicated
that to the Democratic Party as well on the issue of immigration. When I was at the DNC,
I kept urging the Democrats to be more responsive. I kept urging the Democrats to communicate
the dangers of Trump's campaign to the general. And they didn't listen to me. Instead,
they leaned into the right-wing sentiment. They conceded on this unbelievably violent,
this hysterical framework that undocumented migrants will be responsible for a national
security issue. And I kept telling Democrats if that wasn't true, that there was no data,
the data itself was actually showing a very different reality, and that if they don't
tell the American citizens what mass deportations actually look like, then they're going to
end up voting for it, especially if you are conceding on the underlying hysterics
that is associated with the necessity for mass deportation.
This being my actual last question,
if the candidates you're supporting,
if they get through the primaries,
if they lose in the general, if a lot of them lose,
if they don't perform well after midterm,
will that give you pause to say,
okay, maybe what we're pushing for here
isn't as popular with the American people
as we think it will, and maybe if we continue this in tactics going into 2028, we won't
leave that in place.
It's something that I do think about.
I know that my position has not always been so hard, but it's still just.
And I'm not in the vicious of simply winning elections or winning elections.
I want to win elections so we can do right by the way we're supposed to do.
That's what I want.
So even if it comes across as unpopular, and by the way,
we can have a debate on the actual popularity of these issues
or how certain things are presented as unpopular
in mainstream media through millions of dollars
of lobbying funds extended in these election cycles
to attack candidates that take certain positions,
like what Corey Bush did on the issue of Israel
But at the end of the day, I don't want the Democratic Party to just win marginal victory
by becoming a more moderate version of the Republican Party.
I want the Democratic Party or any other party really to become a party that is truly a labor party,
a party that focuses on working class needs, that centers working class needs,
that says no to corporate donations and no to the non-inclusive corporations in general,
to no longer put profits over the interests of people.
And even if it's unpopular, I think that is the right thing to do,
is at the end of the day, I want people to no longer suffer
under these current conditions in the wealthiest nation on earth.
And I want people 600,000 a day to sleep outside every night
in the wealthiest nation on earth.
I want people to be saddled with medical debt where 68,000 Americans die every year that
would have potentially gotten the necessary life-saving health care that we couldn't pay
for.
I think that is an unbelievably cruel, I think that's unbelievably unjust.
And at the end of the day, I know it's popular, but even if it wasn't, I would
fight for it just like I did for years and years for the Palestinian emancipation
Let's see it. Yeah, good to see you too. Woo!
Sure, let's do it. You've seen, you've like tracked my evolution through all the difference.
Nice to meet you guys.

How are you doing?
Oh my God.
I have all these new friends we're talking about.
So many things.
All of them are smooth.
They're like, we didn't know you were from St. Louis.
I was like, oh, not from St. Louis,
but you know, went to college in St. Louis.
And as a renewal, I am from St. Louis.
And they're like, we need you to,
like we need you to help us put St. Louis on the map.
And I said, I can do that.
I will put St. Louis on the map.
We will all do it.
We will make St. Louis.
these cities.
Let's go.
I know you kind of already did this.
But the reason for this is you have people come on
the streets and they ask for 45 cents a month
on the station.
And we're just going to say getting the right people.
So you want me to ask for a question?
Yeah, either way. It's kind of a conversation
for five minutes and I'm going to have to make the next
question.
Okay.
I'm not going to get in front of that.
Ready?
I'm ready.
Alright.
So, that's time.
First of all, let me just say, welcome to St. Louis.
Thank you.
This is incredible.
Yes, yes.
All the love.
You got so much love.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
you got so much love here already and welcome to the Purple Chance Theory so
we got our Purple Chance. This is a spot for us to talk about. This is off to the
community so I'm gonna start off though while you're here while we have you.
How are you able to continue doing what you do? Speaking out the way to do and like you know, never finish it.
I don't know what it is. I'm just a very stubborn person but clearly you have the same, you're the same dog in you.
Well, it's funny that you're asking me that question.
I am.
You know?
I am.
I want to know where you put it.
I know where I put it.
So I just, I want to know, like, if you're someone else.
I don't know.
I've always been annoying.
You've always been annoying.
Ever since, yeah, ever since I was a kid, I just always,
I guess I had a strong sense of justice,
and I would get annoyed, and I would just, like,
fight my teachers.
I would, I would just be unbearable,
and unfriendly, of course.
I'm so thankful that you did. You went just right. Fighting the evil.
We
we have the opportunity to make a lot of change here in
just my people standing up, fighting back like what we saw today.
If you could give a message to the people of St. Louis and then I
turn it over to you if you have a question for me like what would you say to the
people of Spain? Is this something like a something that can help them to help
us to go forward? I think Saint Louis is like everywhere else that I've been to
and visited has an unbelievable sense of community and an unshakable sense of
purpose and you just have to slowly but surely build that confidence within
yourself and your community and stand up for what's right and stand up for your
right. That's why I would say the same word that you know you're not left
behind that that you are capable of making the necessary changes and I think
it starts off by electing people that will fight for you. That's right. And that's why we're here today.
That's right. Thank you. We need people that will fight for us, not against us.
We're 4x4 fighting for us and they're really working with the enemy.
So, you have any questions for me?
Yeah. Okay, so starting off, what is St. Louis famous for?
Oh, so much. But let me tell you, people try to look over our music thing.
St. Louis says that history of great music, all the way going back,
stop Dockwood, Tina Turner, Chuck Berry, you know, and then all the way up through, huh?
Okay, them two, them two, you know, all the way up to now we see Nellie and
Tinky Red and, you know, we have, you know, we have so many, so many greats.
The food, let me go, let me tell you, St. Louis has the food and people
We got to recognize, people got to give us our props for our food.
I take people when they come to town, I take them to all of my favorite spots because we
got the food.
We first got the barbecue.
We got the barbecue.
But then we also have, we have our own type of Chinese food that we just tell you.
And also just a variety of different types of ethnic food.
I need people to tell me the same rules that it appears, what I get to experience.
Because sometimes I go to other cities and I'm like, where is the food?
Because we got it.
So we're known for that.
But also, you know, we're known for movement.
Like this is where Ferguson wasn't first.
What happened in Ferguson was not the first movement.
So the people that have lived here in the St. Louis area, it goes back, you know, it makes
me think about Dress Sky.
You know, the Dress Sky case was heard just up the street, like literally right here, but
just a few blocks up.
The Dress Sky case was heard and decided by four enslavers, five enslavers that said
that, you know, as a black person who wasn't able to be, you know, we weren't able to be citizens.
So movement has happened, and he fought back, and movement has happened everything. So we are a
community of fighters, we're a community of activists, a community of advocates, but we're
also some fierce lovers. Because we love, let me see, if I could think of one thing St. Louis
love, St. Louis loves St. Louis.
Yeah!
All right, let me ask you then, what's the city that St. Louis is the biggest beef
with? Let's do it, let's get messy.
Chicago.
Right, right, right. I can't fame manager in Chicago originally.
Because she loves St. Louis.
I love St. Louis.
That's what I'm saying. I'm worried for the beef. Why is the beef Chicago?
You know, well, I don't know what historically necessarily started it, but I will say, well,
one, it's industry like we talked about before. Industry did move to Chicago from here. A lot of
industry did. But also, you know, people try to call us, you know, like South Chicago, you know,
and that's not, you know, that's not us. But we're a big city and we were a bigger city.
And we were what we were what top five biggest cities you know many years ago.
And now we're so much smaller, so I think it's a little risk there.
So that's actually something I wanted to ask you about for those who might not know.
What's the distinction between county and city?
Because I feel like there's a lot of friction there, what's that about?
Yeah, so famous, famous, famous city and county.
So the split happened, it was the divorce happened in 1876.
And ever since then, we have been there has been this divide city county line and there has been this
morphing of who lives where part of the issue is we know that like heavily black heavily black
populated community will push out that live out here will push down into the county.
The investment happened, you know, in St. Louis City.
And then some people, because it was, you know, it was new, it was fresh, you know,
people felt like, oh, I'm better than you because I live in this part of town.
It's not so much anymore, but I think that's where a lot of that came from.
Now we're trying to, now people have moved back and forth so much now that I think that we are doing better.
But I think also we've been beat up so much to where it's like, I need y'all and y'all need us, like the lines, the lines, like the lines isn't there for so many of us, as far as, you know, like, I can't go into the city, you can't go into the county.
But at the end of the day, our district is City of County. So, if you were the first district, who would?
Yeah. So what I understand, Missouri is a very red state, but your district is a very blue district, 1243 if I'm not mistaken, 23rd most blue district in the country, tied with another district.
What are some of the challenges that you face being a Democrat, a Democratic, a conventional
representative in a state that's dominated by Republican power?
Because they detrass and then they pin it on the same, they pin it on St. Louis. They want
to revenue from St. Louis. They want St. Louis to carry St. Louis in Kansas City to carry the
state, but then they dog us out. They want to run St. Louis from the, from the state,
You know, and so that's a big issue. They, um, uh, I'll say one of the issues though that was
the problem for me in Congress was because we are such a deep blue district, it's like, oh,
we don't have to prioritize your community. We don't have to do this or that because we
don't need you to, we don't need it to look like you're winning so that you can win your race
and keep your seat against the Republican. We need to save all of that energy,
bills being passed, money being delivered to the community. We need to try to save
that for people in these purple districts and these swing districts so that
they can look good, so that they can get reelected. But that doesn't mean that
you take away from communities like mine. And so, you know, calling it fly
over country is not fly over country, you know. And so it's not fly over
country. That's why I made sure every time I got up on that microphone, I was
thought off with St. Louis than I because St. Louis and I brought St. Louis
with me and I needed every single person in Congress to know what I
represent. Who do I represent St. Louis? I made sure and I can tell you I
don't know who most people in Congress represent. I don't know their
business. But, what are the four of you representing?
I'm Kari. What else? What else can I ask? Y'all get your questions ready because we're going to have a couple people come up and talk.
What are some of the biggest hurdles that you have to climb in this election cycle?
Like be as tough and as honest as possible.
Yeah.
So one of the biggest hurdles that I have to climb in this election cycle is people
feeling like it costs so much against you like that $15 million that was spent
against me last time. What if they send that against you this time? If we
fundraise if we give. Will you still lose because it wasn't enough? So
should I donate because it won't touch the $15 million? We don't need
to raise $15 million. Organized people will be to organize money. We just have to
have enough to be on the map. We have to have enough to be able to get on the
doors to be and we pay people to go on the doors. We have to have enough to
show up at the at every single meeting we can show up at. We need to be on
the on television, internet. We need to be on the radio. We need to do that.
So that's the biggest hurdle alongside the fact that black women
received the least amount of contribution research shows that we do.
And so people will say, oh I love you Corey.
They'll get up and they will ask me for a photo.
They will have me sign a piece of paper.
And then they will give the person that they didn't say they loved,
the person that didn't excite them with a speech.
Somebody they didn't care to take a picture with,
they'll give that person $500 and they'll give me three.
me three. They'll give me $11. That's another issue. It's like that implicit bias. Like
it's good enough for us to mother. It's good enough for us to it's good enough for us to
be, um, you know, these strong electorate within the party, but it's not good enough
for us to lead in the way to where you show it with your money so we can get we
can get in the seat. Let me say, I need the big money out of politics. I don't
want you to have to send money to get us in these seats. I don't. You need that
money in your pocket, but we're not there right now. So I need help to be able
to get there. So you say be as honest as I can. That is the thing that is the
biggest barrier is people feeling like people extract. But then they're like,
it's you know what it feels like sometimes I'm gonna be real. It
It's just like tap dancing, like come tap dance for me.
And then I'll see if I want to talk something out to you.
And it's sad because I do this work because I love you.
I do this work because you mean enough to me.
Come here, come on here, because we love you.
Woo hoo!
Woo hoo!
Woo hoo!
Woo hoo!
Woo hoo!
And so I do this work because I
need to be what I needed when I was asleep in a car around the corner on the
street with my kids and elected officials were acting like people like me like
we weren't worthy of their respect or even their time I want to be what I
needed when I was hungry and I was only feeding feeding my kids some days
to not feed it myself. I want to be what I needed. When my friends were dying from
drugs over those days or dying being shot back in the 90s over and over and
over again. I want to be what we needed when I didn't have health care. I want
to be what I needed when I showed up and the nurse looked at me like, well, you
ain't got the money to be here. You won't have to go to another another
hospital. I want to be what I need it. And so when people treated like it sounds
good and you got me all inspired and I'm so happy that you did that for me. But
I can't waste my dollars on you to get you in this seat at hurts. It hurts. And
I'll say this lastly, when I have people in the media who put out these
horrible horrible you know these these these lies about me when you know good
damn well that is not right when you know that my work is actually for the
people when you know that that we are doing everything we can I'm breaking
my back from my community because that's what we deserve when you know that the
joke that's in the seat don't give a thing about people that's famous when
you know that he is funded by republic is to do the work to stop us
from moving forward. When you know that and you still run these articles against us. That
is, that is, I just can't understand. I don't understand because if I do things well, they
go in prosperous. Every single person, I need every person to do amazing. I don't even
I just want you to do well.
I want you to kick ass.
I want you to do so well to where your kids, kids feel it.
That's what I need.
And I'm gonna work hard to get you there.
And so what I know, Pete, is the people buying on me,
the people spitting on my name,
the people making this stuff to make me seem like
I'm not, you know, making me be who they want me to be.
Those are the parries.
Damn.
All right, I've got one last vote.
Don't make me cry this time.
I'm sorry.
See, they're going to hit me with that.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
They're going to hit me with that attack right now, they're going to be like, you make Karry push the car!
How dare you!
So, we talked about the hurdles, but it's not a secret that you were made out to be an example for doing something that is expected of politicians to do in theory.
which is to say the truth and to fight for justice.
No matter how powerful the forces are in our positions.
But since then, do you feel like the attitude here has been dramatic
and that people more and more people now recognize exactly what you were saying
about Israel's influence on American democracy,
but also what Israel has been doing being completely unacceptable,
There is hope. There's so much hope because when I first entered Congress, I would not
have thought that on this issue, we would be where we are right now. People didn't
even want to hear us say the word Palestine. And now everybody says it, you know, everybody
And so many people, so many people are recognizing calisthenics.
So many people are recognizing that what happened could have been avoided.
You know, so many lives could be saved right now, have people listen.
So I do think the time has changed because also people are, I think,
no, I won't say I think, APAC overplayed their hands, huh?
So many people in Yahoo and his government, they overplayed their hands.
They they a packed off by taking out me and Jamal Bowman the way that they did.
We won. We thought, yeah, not only we won, we thought we took out two black
caucus members in their face. How about that? They?
They overplayed their hand, though, because.
What they did was the world wanted to know, wait a minute, how did that
happen? What happened? And when the world started asking what happened,
They found a tax debt and now everybody has won't everybody has had time to the conclusion that we don't want some
Who lobbies for foreign government regardless of what nation it is to dictate who is the representative in st
Or in Detroit or in any other city
So the tide has turned
But we need more. We need more people speaking up. We need more people to hop on these podcasts
like that you're doing. We need more people that will use their platform.
Y'all, it's basic humanity. It's basic humanity. We care the same way for Palestinians as we care for Cubans.
for some lobby for the Uighur community. We care for each and every person. And the
thing is, we don't, we don't put anyone supreme over another. Because baby, your
blood like mine, which leads the same way, you know, and as an elected official,
it's the same thing. And your elected officials don't, you don't serve your
elections and that's the place that we're in. We serve you. So but the tide has
turned because people are saying we don't want a tax or big crypto big real estate
big pharma big or war whoever we don't want any of them dictating our election.
And we don't want our elected officials being lobby by them the way they are.
So the tide has turned tremendously. And look at all the candidates running.
Yeah, it's Canada's all across the country you all saying they're not taking a pack money
Yeah, and not only that but there's also
It's not even just about
Because we all know that some people just say that but there are different groups like Dmfi and other
Still funneled resources in the candidates that they know will end up
Working not at the behest of the citizens not at the behest of their
they're constituents but serves the purpose of these big corporations that eat in some
times foreign countries.
Right.
What I always try to communicate with all the things I talk to you, the candidates I
talk to you in, you have to be saying things that make it impossible for AFAC to give
you money and not just AFAC, but DMFI, the United Democracy Project and all these
other companies, all these other lobbying organizations.
They have to know
where you stand on this issue
That that they couldn't even have them giving me the money and I think that's what a lot of
Even Democrats are trying to mess it around now or they they talk out of both sides of the mouth
They say oh, yeah, you know, we're not taking a dime on a pack of other some other
Lobbyist that's fine. They're donors. That's fine
and they try to find this reasonable middle ground.
But genocide is black or white.
You know, ice.
And even on the domestic level, it's the same with ice, right?
This is a black or white issue.
There's no focus through tested messages that you can arrive at
that you have to speak with conviction
and you have to speak with truth and justice.
And you really do that.
And I just like to be why I'm so fortunate to be here.
And I feel honored that I can be shared with the state.
Thank you so much for having me.
Thank you for being here.
And thank you for exciting the people of Franklin today.

Listen, it was shocking to me as well.
I had some people say that you were not enthusiastic enough.
Wait, really?
Talking about St. Louis.
That's crazy.
You need to glaze a little bit more.

Every time I click on your damn stream,
you're talking about being Chinese,
which tells me that that's what you must do for.
I mean, that's what I am.
If it's every time I click on the times I click on
that you're specifically talking with them.
Because I am.
It's the truth, you know what I mean?
Well, we do live in a post-truth world, so I guess.
What about you? Are you St. Louis?
I am, yes. My whole life. And I actually work right up here in here, so to say.
Okay, so you're passing both your workplaces?
Yes, and I look safe to be up here.

Respect. Respect.
There ain't going nowhere.
Yeah, I'm like, he's sleeping.
Yeah.
Oh my God, Chief, it's arena.

So there's those twin buildings and then the one, the brick one behind it.
Yeah, how's my old tour?
Freshman New Tour.
Oh my God!

This is where our billikens, but do you know that's our mascot?
You know what that is?
No.
No one knows what it is.
Wait, do you know what it is?
Kind of.
Okay, explain to the people that want to know what it is.
It's supposed to be like an ancient, it's an ancient little guy.
It's a...
What?
You are not...
He kind of looks like a goblin.
You're not very convincing.
Goblin decent.
Okay, sit right there.
Oh, now there's the wall.
I don't know, nobody really knows what a bill can is.
about it I've known you I've known you for a decade I did not know this side of
you at all this is so I'm activated this is like I did it I did it now you went
here when I told her like a week ago we were hanging out I was like I'm gonna
say I'm from St. Louis I'm like what okay they went to school and wow we the
the French Time Market was not there before. Let's see if the old bar, do these still have...
This whole thing called the F out of this brand-in?
This is all, yeah, I don't remember this at all. Let me see, like, any of this area.
The Billikens in the 1908 Good Luck figure created by Missouri art teacher Florence Pretz
designed as a smiling chubby, pointy-headed imp, representing things as they ought to be.
It was a massive early 1900s pop culture, sensation, service of Lucky Charm,
from Masca for St. Louis University, SLU,
and popular deity in Japan.
Oh, that, of course, that's okay, you're excited.
That doesn't make any sense.
What the hell is a Japanese deity doing in St. Louis?
You know what I mean by that?
What the hell is a polar bear doing in Arlington, Texas?
We never knew what that was.
Yeah, exactly, see?
But we were the billy kids,
I don't know if there's any other.
I've never, that's such a wild thing to just be like,
We are going to choose a Japanese deity as our mascot and no one's going to know what it is.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh, should we try past the theater?
No.
Should we see where my real old stomping grounds were?
No.
Let's do it.
We should not do that.
We're out.
No, we're not.
I think we should go.
There's a Monka Japanese labubu.
I mean, it is a Friday night's list.
It is Friday night's list.
The theater?
Yeah, the scarlet knight is not like a like a indecipherable figure. It's a knight in shining armor that is scarlet
Yeah, let's go watch a fucking theater play. Okay, they used to have a taco place right here the Starbucks now. There's Starbucks
You're right it was a doll taco
That's just the...
Okay, I know it's the taco place.
You made it seem like...
You made it seem like Mexican hands touched it at some point.
That's not...
That's insane.
Yeah.
Uh, this...
March, you might not...
It was our deltaco.
You might have...
March, your people might have heard of this.
It's a deltaco.
It's deltaco, not a taco place.
No, it's...
You're saying Taco Bell is the taco place.
It's Taco Bell.
Well, it was the...
It was the deltaco.
It's just a deltaco.
Many of them exist all around the country and they're terrible.
What's up with the armory?
I don't know.
It's shut down.
They're gonna make the data center.
No!
Wait, what the fuck?
What the fuck?
Oh my god.
Bro, what is happening in this fucking country now?
Freshmen in my old dorm will look out and see a fucking ass data center.
Oh wow, target.

Yeah. Shakespeare in the park.
Are the roads busted out here? Is that what it is?
Oh, your eyes lit up. Yeah.
God damn, we've hit every pothole in St. Louis.
I've said that before.
I've said that before.
We went by the theater, there's definitely some.
Is it what, like they just don't fix them?
No.
Wow.
One time I sprayed my ankles so badly because I fell in a pothole on my freshman year and I was wearing healed boots.
And I just kept going.
You know, I got the worst road in the world? Jamaica.
My wife, my wife lived in Jamaica. They wrote her.
Yeah, but this is like, you know, there's, this is a much wealthier country than Jamaica. Your expectation is...
Don't do that.
Yeah.
God damn.
All you get is a data center instead nice
There's an entire Instagram account devoted to st. Louis Pajos
Also, it is a thing I wasn't being weird about it because I noticed I was like damn this shit is bumpy
as hell we're on a like regular road too it's not like
I'm just gonna tell you what I'm gonna tell you all of once
I'm gonna let these two babies sit

um a VIP
you're having so much fun i am i haven't been well i can just say it was for a wedding but
but we're downtown, but I'm so excited to see the campus again.
I had a lot of good men's.
Summer was really funny, but it was humid as shit.
Men's.
Should we should turn off the camera for now?
OK, we're going kind of near a jet.
Let's see.
I'm going to flip it.
I'm going to flip it.
There's good theology that yeah, my my policy is I if you're right wing if you're reactionary if you're fascist or if you're fascist
Collaborator, I'm gonna treat you like a fascist collaborator. It doesn't matter. Obviously, there's red lines that I won't cross
You know, I'm not gonna like say slurs, you know what I mean, but
But if someone comes in with like oh well as a black person, I think Donald Trump is the best president
I'm gonna be like suck my dick like you know and and if you clip it out of context
You're like wow this guy is really anti-black like he's he's well
And also also just and I tell I make fun of Rosenberg for this. You're also just white
That's exactly and so when you say things and they come out of your orifice with this look. Yeah
No, I understand people are gonna go even even under the best of like we we've gone through the experience over the years
We're him and I can be going back and forth on a thing
We we agree on 90% of issues and some will be like now Rosenberg stuck today
say, Ebro, you were on point. And it's like, well, we were just agreeing all day to that.
But some people just do what happens. But I understand that there's like, there's always
going to be people with biases. I have my own hangups to from my own lived experiences.
I try to be as open minded as possible. But I have a very firm and well defined world
view. And if someone comes in, and one of the things that like is unbelievably annoying,
I think most people also hate is whenever people do that shit when they're like well as a as a as a person of this
Background like as a bisexual person of color. I think we should actually have Nazis in mainstream discourse
I'm like, I don't give a fuck what you're doing in your in your sexual experiences or what your
Background is like no, that's fucking ridiculous. So I'm just want to recap. Yeah white supremacists
Don't like them. No, no, no, no, Nazis. Don't like them. Fascists. Don't like them.
Neocolonialists. No, it's just imperialists. No, don't like him. He's against the bad guys.
Well, but the problem is a lot of bad guys don't want to say they're bad. I know. So what
they do instead is turn me into a bad guy for calling them out. Now it's general. I mean,
But that's generally being a tactic.
Yeah, but you, I would say this,
and I was, I was listening to some of the press run
you've been on over the last couple of weeks.
And what I'm struck by is that you,
a lot of things, you're very impressive.
You're really good speaking about a lot of different things.
You also are an algorithm hustler.
Like you do know what gets the people going.
You know what I mean?
Meaning, hear me out,
your belief system is your belief system.
the language that you use can be intentionally harsh to cut through.
I mean, have you ever heard you say that?
Oh yeah, no, no, no. I do that on purpose, yeah, for sure.
So that's called, we call that algorithm hustling,
because you know that's going to get through and get to peace.
So one of the examples that I'll give you that is in the news right now,
that I do by design, I guess if you want to call it algorithmic hustling,
that's true.
The Hamas one.
Yeah, there you go.
That one, because I heard you explain this on Pod Save America for 20 minutes.
Yeah.
and it became clear to me over the twenty minutes
that like
you don't think
highly of humance
what you really feel strongly about
is the horrors of the israeli government and what they've been doing to
palestinian people for eighty years yet and then use the contrast
to make this point that and i did agree with the one point because yes i was
offended by it when i heard the thing out you can flip it back and flip it
back okay we're back surprise surprise yeah yeah we were I thought you guys would
really want to see more of Caroline quans esteemed did you that close on a
holiday and touch it the esteemed the number one tour guy in SDL Caroline is
going to give you guys a higher role experience tomorrow too.
I mean, I won't be here, but she will.
We're going to take him, Carolyn.
Well, we are going to go to campus.
But I don't know if I'm going to necessarily go on campus.
I don't want to kind of be that weirdo who's swag.
Is that weird?
If I'm on campus, I was going to kind of be around.
Am I going to be giving like how do you do fellow kids energy?
Yes.
Yeah.
Okay.
100%.
100%.
Yeah.
100%.
You're-
Well, I basically just want to- I just want to walk around my old-
You're going to have a frat party.
Oh my God.
I just heard like-
You like crashes and smooth frat party?
Wow.
I- I went to- I went to a couple of frat parties back in the day.
And one time I had to climb out the window and run from the cops.
That's the kind of stuff that you did in the cops.
Should I run that back?
33-year-old Caroline Kwan escapes out of the window.
Why is it like National Amplifiers? What was it called?
Like the old person stays on campus?
The old person stays on campus.
Chatters will know.
It's a boomer.
It's like a boomer comedy.
I'm just sorry, but I'm like, are you saying that because I'm the old person?
Van Wilder.
Yeah, back to you.
Yeah.
Using another example for me.
Oh, I just, no.
I just thought about that for no reason.
Yeah.
No, I just thought about that for no reason, randomly.
I was thinking about my favorite old comedies, that's what it was.
Oh, yeah?
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
We're the same age.
You're older than me.
Am I?
Yes.
I was with them a month.
Yes.
No.
How many years?
At least a year.
No?
Yes, because you're 34.
How old are you?
You're 33.
Damn.
Yeah.
you're turning 35 and I'll still be 33. Wow. Wow. That's going to be two years.
It's an inappropriate age gap friendship. It is. Honestly, I shouldn't be dating Will.
He's probably not a age gap.
A young babe such as yourself. Such an old man. An old perv.
It's no curve.
It really is.
Erica Kirk is about to rip off this Caroline fit.
Oh yeah.
Oh my God.
Give us your favorite Erica Kirk fit.
Let's go to T-Scare and just read a camera.
Wait, was that video real or not?
Yes.
Did you have them breathing?
No, no, that's real.
Is that real?
She's like, on that ride we like...
Girl needs some acting classes.
No, I think girl needs some acting classes.
She needs some acting classes.
Fire everyone in her team and hire people who actually like her.
I'm gonna be honest with you any anyone that didn't chop that out in the
in the editing Bay is a hater okay you got ops

crazy it doesn't work without the blue eyes you're like can't hear some
Brown contacts. You know her cooker? Yeah, you've seen the video of her. Yeah.
She looks scarier. She looks so scared, I know.
I just, the performance, I got a lot of notes. A lot of notes.
She's forcing it. Yeah. So it's, you can't force it.
I know.
Do you think the two of you next to each other?
Yeah.
I was standing like him earlier.
He's like, I look like security.
You are.
Yeah.
You have to be cute.
Oh my god.
I know.
She just keeps giving him more.
So, man.
She got a lot of good looks.
I know.
They got the year protecting me, just like March 1st, monitoring the situation.
I'd like you to have us.
You think that was crazy?
Did you want Drisky came here?
I don't control.
Wait, where did he come?
He came.
I can tell you something, man.
They led him up in the front, and knighted him back in the alley right there in front of us.
Oh my god.
3,000 people to that man.
Two I left his bus stadium?
Cardinal split.
Damn
Okay, he has a lot more
Here for it he did he did the could have been wrecked as to here
Wow
Just to push back like the occasional damper with the like the poster.
Yeah.
See, you ain't gotta put you got a block.
Look at that picture of just how you're back to it.
They're always super sweet and nice.
Yeah, and I'm so mean.
Yeah, you are.
Oh, Marsh.
Yes?
This
I mean it's adorable, but it's a rat. It's a possum. It's a possum, isn't it cute?
It's very cute.
And also it does remind me of you a little bit, so.
It's funny because
People gave me stuff
The bagger I told you right, but that's the only thing I was given by one person
There was no like hey, this is for fear and this is for this person was just like give this box up some
Somebody wrote a book about
Mmm
Young man and Gaza I think yeah meadow he's a
March there's a signed copy
I'm sorry, I keep seeing signs like this is gambling legal. Yeah. Yeah, they could say no right next to the hotel
I think a week after October 7 Israel had already killed more people, more civilians than Hamas had killed, right?
And everybody knew exactly what was happening and what was going to happen.
And everyone that knew anything about the mowing of the lawn operations that Israel had engaged
in, like Cass led and numerous others, year after year, where they killed thousands of
Palestinians and exploded buildings, including the Associated Press building is famously
in 2021.
So people knew what was up already.
And they wanted to stop it, but Joe Biden was unbelievably pro-Israel, ideologically
committed to Israel his whole life, despite his Catholic background.
In the way many centrist Democrats always have been like that, this is what we did.
He was the real deal.
He was even more agro on Israel than even like a regular Zionist Democrat is.
But the point I'm trying to make is, like they triggered the response certainly with
October 7, but Israel had every opportunity to go, you know what, we're not taking the
bait here. We're not going to do this. We need to chart a different path forward. Of course,
it wasn't going to happen because the primary directive on the Israeli side is guided by
unbelievable amounts of racism. That's why I always say like Zionism is a Nazi ideology.
It's a fact. And that's something you have to understand how triggering that is.
Oh no, I know, that's another one.
Again, that's an intentional, that's another one.
Like, it's a fascist ideology that is unbelievably racist.
Like that it's a supremacist ideology
that dictates that the outgroups,
specifically Palestinians, Arabs, Christian, Muslim,
alike are lesser and they need to be dealt with
violently and militarily, which is part of the reason
why people who do end up visiting even the West Bank
and see the occupation, people like Tonya Zicoz, who have written extensively on defending
Israel, ironically enough, the Atlantic. The editor-in-chief of the Atlantic is a former
Israeli concentration camp guard. They're not too fond of me either. They write a lot
of negative articles about the Atlantic magazine. Yeah, but Tonya Zicoz used to write for
the Atlantic, and he'd written extensively about reparations for black Americans and
used the reparations day after month the Holocaust to Israel as a as a positive
example and and he has had a major attitude change after he saw it and that
would become one of the best voices on yeah he became a he became a strong
advocate for the propensity movement after he saw it because it's virtually
impossible once you see it it's impossible to have you gotten to have
have conversations with Jewish non-Zionists, anti-Zionists, reform Zionists who are able
to articulate for you the why, the atrocities that Israel has committed recently and previously,
why it's very hard for people to square based on maybe their experience with family members
who have died in the Holocaust, what we've been taught our entire lives about what
Israel was supposed to be. I'm saying all of that to say there are a lot of people on shore
triggered by you and immediately go to you must be anti-Semitic and I'm not trying to give them a
pass for that but I am trying to explain that like it's hard for people to have a real come to
Jesus about a place that they've been taught about their whole life and have fond thoughts of
is not what they believed it was and it's easy on the internet for people to say I'm not
I'm not talking about you specifically, for people to say, anyone who ever has a positive
thought about Israel is the worst ever and is a hateful person, that shows a complete
lack of understanding for the natural human experience, for anyone who is told in any
way that there are positive things about Israel.
Have you gotten to have dialogue about that and understand why people could be super
sensitive?
But if you take the time, I can tell that you're not a hateful person who hates
Jewish people.
have strong feelings about Israel, but we were intentionally coached to believe that if someone
has strong anti-Israel opinions, it means they're anti-Semitic. That was part of the plan.
But you've come on our program to a space of acknowledging that you need to do work
to...
Continue to unlearn that.
Because we've had conversations about the premise of Israel, like the premise of
the British and the Americans saying, Hey, take this space right here. It's yours. Don't worry. Yeah,
we're doing it all for the love. We think you guys will be supporting Jews. We want you to be
safe because we love Jews. That's why that's why we're so big on taking you to the Holocaust.
The Jews can't come to America. No, no, we don't want you to come here. Go there. Go there.
But it's hard because I have, you know, listen, I have family there right now. So it's
very, it is, it's a hard thing to unlearn and deal with the only person who was in opposition
of the Balfour Declaration was the only Jewish MP at the time in the British Parliament.
This is a bad idea. I don't think we all need to be right there.
Christian Zionism in some respects was always the backbone of the Zionist movement.
financially speaking or even ideologically and ideologically as well it wasn't
even like the dispensationalist or like the Christian evangelical theological
justifications necessarily but they always were like yeah let's get these
Jews out of here and so as a double whammy was hey let's get the Jews out of
here and also we put them front-facing yeah but we know that then when Christ
comes back we'll have yeah Israel also was that is that the logic I mean for
For the overwhelming majority of evangelical Protestants in the country that are evangelical Zionists now, that is the mentality.
The idea is Jews are chosen and the chosen sons and daughters of God got to go there so that we can trigger the rapture.
We go to Megiddo, Jesus Christ comes back on earth and fights the forces of the devil in Megiddo, which triggers the rapture.
They all become clothes, right? They get
Harp on zoned into the into the space. This is a legitimate thing that like
And for the audience is watching this and I'm sure people are in their emotions about whatever they're in their emotions about because there's a lot to unpack
There are billions of dollars. Yeah sent to Israel
by
You know Kofi Christians United for Israel is like I was gonna say I was just gonna say Christian nationalists
Who also are the same people who separated the black church in the white church because you know the most segregated day in America?
It's Sunday where black people are at one church and white people out another church which that goes back hundreds of years
But these people have been funding this but isn't it's the perfect transition point to another thing
I know we want to get to which is that this is so frustrating. I'm sure you deal with this
Parsing out. Did you guys like the Ebro interview by the way?
I know you were watching a little bit of it, but I
Feel like it was it's pretty good
Okay, all right, yeah, yeah
Did you bite this too
Okay, I'll try it.
No, no, no, just go, just go without me.
Um.
Alright, I'll try the chocolate, just fuck it.
Oh
STL delicacy
Red hot riplets rich potato chips hot barbecue flavors st. Louis style house off-flavored
Oh damn, right?
Oh, that's good as hell.
Holy shit.
I love chips.
Go eat your food.
Want to eat something?
No, it's fine.
I'm sure.
Go eat your food I'm sure
But um, hey, I'll take whatever
You need to the Corey hoodie too cuz it's too small
Apparently, while we were out, Donald Trump fucking said he's going to invade Cuba immediately.
Yeah.
So, that's what we're going to be looking at.
Hi
Why are you guys so confused by
Yeah, I got the notification
He said almost immediately
So there's that pro piece ticket
My ass
Did you guys enjoy that?
Here's a full clip.
Good job.
An architect who's really talented, he's done a lot of work for him.
He's got a flair, a beautiful Hispanic flair in particular.
And he comes from originally a place called Cuba,
which we will be taking over almost immediately.
So funny.
Now, Cubas got problems.
We'll finish one first. I'd like to finish a job.
On the way back from, what we'll do, on the way back from Iran,
we'll have one of our big, maybe the USS Abraham Lincoln Aircraft Carrier,
the biggest in the world, we'll have that come in, stop about 100 yards offshore,
and they'll say, thank you very much, we give up.
Good job.
An architect who's really talented, he's done a lot of work for him.
I can't even tell if he's being serious or if he's like fucking around
Because that's just how it is
anyway, here's a
Here's CNN talking about Trump on a wrong idea a deal
Is there anything if Iran does not agree to not enrich uranium?
Do you think the president would ever agree to that?
Is there a is there a deal where they that's not part of it that he would agree to in your view
So I don't think they're going to permanently give up the enrichment of uranium. The question is how long will they agree to
Suspend it. I think that's what these negotiations are going to be about and just for a historic context when I
Told a harmony the previous Supreme Leader signed the nuclear deal with President Obama
I was reading his speeches very carefully for week after week for about two years
It was defines defines defines bluster and then suddenly he gave this speech saying calling for heroic
flexibility as a prelude to compromise. So Iran only compromises once it's
exhausted all other possibilities. And again this blockade I think is proving
more effective than people people know. How much longer do you think they could
last? They could probably still last weeks maybe even you know months longer
than that but there are signs that they they want to talk.
Korean-South Dupur maybe it'll tip to the dolphin's sake that happens. Great to
to have you here tonight.
Up next, another state has just joined the battle
that is now playing out in the United States
when it comes to redistricting.
My congressional source will weigh in on that fight
that could determine who controls Congress from November.
Also, Joe Rogan says those charges
against James Comey are nuts.
His take ahead and why he's criticizing
Justice Department.
Also, it's wheels up for the new Air Force I
apparently now this summer.
The new reporting on why President Trump
have amenities for a royal family.
The Source with Caitlin Collins is brought to you by Vidgard Hytrulo.
I guess they're going to tell us what that is.
viedgaard high trullo
first local news pieces out by the way
mayday brought thousands into the
corby bush and vice-contrary streamer has gone to speak of st louis mayday
cross america today a tradition rooted in the labor struggles that built this
country and st louis the march came to ala plaza
but the story that followed it there
was not just about wages thanks so much for joining us i'm kelly jackson
Cory Bush is running to reclaim Missouri's first congressional district from Wesley Bell
in the August Democratic primary.
Today's demonstration was her most visible public step toward that race.
Our political editor Mark Maxwell is live down.
Controversial Shimmer Hassan?
What the hell is controversial Shimmer Hassan?
We're on a first name basis now?
town. Kelly here at Al O Plaza, a crowd of a few hundred turned out for May Day.
Cory Bush is turning out for something else. The beginning of what she hopes is
a march back in the road to Congress. I saw this guy in the crowd. He was looking at me
funny. Now I know why. But the most important moment of her day didn't
occur here. She hasn't taken the stage just yet. The most important moment of
her day so far happened on campus and watched you a few moments ago, a few
hours ago, and she answered a question that has been following her since
she started previewing this event on these grounds yesterday.
The question is about her special guest tonight,
who will be joining her on stage, Hasan Piker,
the online streamer she personally invited
to St. Louis as her guest.
Just a few days ago, members of Congress
filed a formal bipartisan resolution naming Piker
and quoting his own words that he said America deserved
the September 11 attacks.
That he said the sexual violence of October 7th
and his words didn't change the dynamic for her.
that just 16 days ago, he said Hamas is better than Israel
every single time.
These are mere allegations.
These are his own words now in the congressional record,
and I asked Corey Bush about them this afternoon.
If you knew that, why invite him to St. Louis?
So first of all, you have to ask the time
pocket about the time pocket's words.
The same way that I talk to you
and you say inflammatory things,
the same way that I talk to someone from the New York
Times, usually you're saying negative things about me,
And I'm still standing here talking to you.
And so Hassan Piker, like asking Hassan
about what Hassan said is what you should do,
asking me about what I said that I can stand up for.
The same way I don't know about what other people
who are podcasters or what, you know, I don't,
I am getting a message out to the people
that listen to them.
That's what I'm doing.
I'm getting a message out to the people who listen to you.
I want to let it be known on the record. I denounce Hassan Piker. Okay. I want to let
it be known I denounce Hassan Hassan Ami Pyram.
Now that we got that out of the way let's continue. Tonight Wesley Bell's campaign
responding campaign manager Jordan Blaze telling us that Cory Bush should
apologize to the Missouri families who lost someone on 9-11 to victims of
sexual violence and to people to families of military personnel killed
and terrorist attacks around the world. His campaign writing quote, we should all be angry
at Donald Trump, but quote, let's channel our anger in ways that don't sink to his level of hatred.
Again, Corey Bush and Hassan Piker set to take the stage here in just a few moments.
Live downtown, Mark Maxwell, five on your side. God, local news is so bad, dude.
The way guards report on this is very disingenuous. Obviously, you guys did no research before
Collins of Commons he's made. Spending eight back propaganda.
Brother, the entire world get him on dog. This is the reason
your fans are biggest haters. We shouldn't support not that we shouldn't support our
workers but I feel like that's a different deal. The fact that we don't even talk about
international workers day like today. People said to me, why are you off? Why are you
all doing something for international workers day? Um, like we're apart. I mean, American
labor force is a part of the international labor force.
Yeah, well,
bro,
I ain't had shit to eat today, man.
Fuck.
You know, these are fire, actually.
And it's got more kick than you would expect.
Oh, yes.
And so it was shocking that that that was a jab at me was that
why are you all like, what what is international work is day?
When I just sat with what I just sat with, I just round.
You know what it feels like?
This stuff like oh do you condemn us on that shit?
It feels like everybody knows the truth, but we just got to like play this song and dance, you know
Thanks, Chatter. Thanks, Oliver. Yeah, that's me.
Can you put the noise gate back on please?
No, because the noise gate is on and you can't hear.
Maybe you can hear it like a little bit.
Oh, was there an ad playing in the background somewhere?
Hold on.
I wonder where it is. Is it here?
We've got to move very quickly to ban partisan gerrymandering across the country and move to a different system of government.
Now there's mandatory single member districts and I think those single member districts help
to generate that race to the bottom and we might have to move to multi-member districts
where Democrats and Republicans.
There's some noise coming from, I don't know where.
the adobe ad is still playing
but i don't know where
alright it's gone now
you've been hacked by the north korea is this on?
dude my volume is max that is not something I hear are you okay no no there was like a
there was definitely an ad that was that was playing earlier
Treasure train farm the PBS level one

swamp fever has broken. For nine of the last 10 years, it was rare to see Trump drop below
88% approval. He's 20 points below that. The cult is collapsing.

Have you seen this performative larpher?
Oh, he's trying to be just like me, bro.
Look at that.
Donald Trump trying to flirt with Claudia shine bomb do what the fuck happened at this foreign club, dude
There's like seven videos that are all insane
Like increasingly more insane. Is he just losing his dang mind further and further is that what it is?
I've seen even like when I was
Looking at my
Even when I was like looking at my what do you call it?
like looking at my Twitter feed every now and then like peaking it was like
another dumb fuck shit that Donald Trump said.
The Gulf of America and the president of Mexico called me not too fun to me anymore
but when she heard about it it was heard it was put in some paper somebody leaked it someplace always
they always said leaks when you're in my world leaks are part of life
and it was leaked that I was going to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America
And she's a beautiful woman a very nice, you know, I never like to talk about beauty because it's usually the end of a. Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Political career. If you say somebody's a beautiful woman.
Stay away from her. Stay away from her.
You disgust me. Stay away from her.
Stay away from my queen. How fucking dare you?
How dare you?
They say, what a terrible, terrible thing. Everybody hates it except the woman that you're talking
about. They love it. So I won't say she's a beautiful woman, but she's a fine woman.
And she is. And she's got this incredible beautiful voice, elegant voice. She was a ballet
dancer she's got this beautiful voice and she goes president president do no
no president tell me tell me you're only kidding you're not going to change the
name of the Gulf of Mexico yes I am I'm sorry no no no please anyway so they
don't let me do much in Mexico right now
wait he's running the classics that's why guys like me are a lot of danger you
You know, consequential people get in a lot of danger, you know what I'm talking about?
Yeah, yeah, that's his new rotation. He does this whole, I'm consequential, I'm that bitch.
That's why they're trying to kill me.
Going up a hill, Robert E. Lee heard that. Stonewall Jackson was killed as great general,
so they didn't have him yet, another general, and they were going up,
and he sent five messages and five horses hoping that one would get through
through because they're all being shot. It was a bloodbath and it was never fight uphill.
Me boys never. So fucking stupid. Right uphill. He was for uphill and they just got wiped out.
But that's all to me the Robert Lee era with with Ulysses S Grant Abraham Lincoln. I mean,
me that is such an amazing, you can learn so much from it, but it was such an
amazing time, such a horrible time, beautiful in certain ways, but such a
horrible, horrible time. They heard they were going up a hill.
Photos are nuts too. US President Donald Trump gestures during an event at
village's charter school at the villages Florida. This sort of activity is actually quite common
in the villages. He did the double dick suck again, huh?
She hates what I danced to at the end too. She hates what I danced to what sometimes referred
to as the gay national anthem, you know. She hates it. You know, that song was number
5 32 years ago and it went to number one 32 years later this never been anything
like it never hit number one it was number five 32 years ago and it went to
number one for months during the last months of the camp we love that song
and she hates when I dance

All these cognitive tests keeps taking apparently and it keeps acing the California Gavin Newscombe is not good
but he gave the worst interview a month ago did you see it where he said he was
incompetent he can't read he can't write he can't do he said he's horrible for
testing we should give him a cognitive test I took three of them
aced all of them by the way you know I'm the only president I'm the only
only president to take a cognitive test.
Ooh, not good to admit.
Perhaps not the best thing.
Ooh, oops.
Yeah, they did it because I'm so smart.
They did it because my brain works the best.
That's interesting that he's admitting that.
I don't think Obama could pass it, I don't.
Didn't he get into Harvard with a C average? I don't know, what's that?
I don't think he could pass it. I don't think, well Biden isn't going to give me a break.
You know the first question is very easy, it's a lion, a giraffe, a bear, and a shark.
They say, which one is the bear?
And everybody says oh
30 questions everyone says very standard is a very standard test but very tough around those last
10 questions not too many people even in this very room unlike do some I'll say this room of geniuses
He said I'm in a room of dumb people that was not good
That was not good. You know what happened to him after that. It wasn't a pretty but I'm in a room of braided people
But a lot of you wouldn't have been able to answer those 10 questions

why are you clapping at that you're like yes mr. president we are fucking
stupid we're way dumber than you mr. president what a fucking stupid stupid
world we live in man
What a dumbass world we live in.
I have looked up the cognitive test.
And when I got the score in the test, the doctor said, wow, I've never seen, you know,
you have five doctors lined up, they're all over the place.
I said, should I take it?
You know, I've had different phases.
They've said, he's a mad genius, I didn't mind that too much.
Then they said, he's a horrible human being, I don't like that much.
they said, he's really not a smart person at all.
I really hated that.
So I took a cognitive test and I said to the...
Can we prove it's not a laugh track? No, that's just how Republicans are. They're fucking bots.
Anyway, you might have noticed that I'm sinking into my chair because I'm unbelievably fucking tired.

unbelievably tired. No gaming. Sorry. Love you guys. I'll be back in in Los Angeles tomorrow.
Okay. This pic goes hard. Hell yeah, it does.
Here's your honorable edit from last night, bang, I'm afraid.
God forbid you have a large enough audience and you're an avowed anti-Zionist.
You combat anti-Semitism and you're also an anti-Zionist, you're a threat.
And what these people don't understand is that I'm not alone, okay?
I'm not alone.
So you might deplatform me, you might fucking get me killed, but at the end of the day
this problem is not gonna go away for you, okay?
It's not-
Okay, that was kind of fire.
Alright, you brought it back with the aura edit.
My daughter asked you to be the president?
Absolutely not.
Anyway, um, as I was saying, love you guys.
I'm done for the night.
Uh, I will be back tomorrow from Los Angeles, California, bro said check this out and it's
