The last new Golden Boy Twitch streamer doesn't even try to hide it.
Thirty-four-year-old Hassan Piter 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.
Brechted evening, 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.
She's not out there on Hassan Piker's show, right?
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 gonna 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 give 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, Masson Piker. They should stay away from him.
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 Masson Piker, and this is Austin, I'm Brock
Gaston, and I'm coming to you live from not-so-sunny, a little bit gloomy, California law
service folks. We're live and alive, and I hope all the police, girls, and MBs are
having a fantastic one because today is a beautiful day. Today is a wonderful day. Today is a very
special day. 68 degrees and partially sunny here. Uh, it's nice out, but there is a little bit.
Um, there's a little bit of chaos, a little bit of commotion. This is part of the broadcast where
I tell you all about my personal news about what's going on in the world of the Son house and I'll be
piker in between the time period where I press the stop streaming button and press the start
to help me God. That's exactly what I'm a do ladies and gentlemen, boys, girls and
MBS before we get to the personal news though. Let me just say it's a special day for a very
good reason. A special day that is worthy of celebration and praise every single time
it takes place. That's right. It's a special day not only because I'm back home, but because
it's Friday and every Friday is special you already know what it is.
Our forefathers in the labor union fought long and hard to make sure that every single
one of you can enjoy a sense of autonomy, a sense of purpose, a sense of humanity that
You will gain, at the end of the work week, if you like the five day work week, thank
a labor union, ladies and gentlemen, that's precisely the reason why we celebrate Fridays
every single Friday, on conditionally, rain or shine, we grind, except on the weekends,
where we get to pursue things that make us feel human once again.
Things that make us feel lucky to be alive.
That's right.
That's it. That's where it is. Do you bother to unpack anymore?

disenfranchise people you make it inevitable for them to fight back and
lead you know you lead them into taking not so peaceful means and not so
peaceful measures in the aftermath of the Tennessee redistricting and also the
Virginia Supreme Court decision that overturned the Democratic wishes of the
state. In any case, we'll talk about all of that and more Republicans met at my JFK warning.

You should definitely watch the video kilo up though uploaded. Yeah, it's like four hours. I will be honest
It's like I want to but
We'll see
This was one piece of the
Of the the speech
They're terrified of the fight. They don't want to have that fight.
And I'm not just talking about the Republicans either.
We know that the Republican Party is a reactionary scourge in this country.
We know that they're racist. We know that they're war-bonders.
But we say no more to the Democratic Hill moderators, too.
Black suits with black ties are for funerals and weddings. This is not a black tie. It's
a green tie. It just looks black because it's dark in here.
This is the most Sarah Longwell tweet that I've ever laid my eyes upon. I want to scream.
Just got out of a group of 24 Trump 24 male voters who just drew the job they're doing.
asked them to raise their hands on who they think they might support in a presidential
run.
Whole group interested in Rubio, one and a half hands for advance, four for Federmann,
John Federmann.
That's awesome.
Doing a diamond high save to the stream?
Yeah, sure.
The green ties fresh as fuck.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Anyway.
not really much else to talk about as far as you know personal news in general in particular
I'm a shut ass loser. I ain't got nothing else going on in my god life as you know.
piker is nothing but a grifter looking to make more million nothing more
shoycott will leave then quiet shoycott will lose and quietly leave san Francisco because
you will never be forgiven by everyone else here that has pissed at him for bringing a raging anti
Semite, like Parker to the City, bookmark this post, you will see. I like that that's,
for the most part, people have just decided, no, I don't want to engage this person at all,
I'm just going to keep crying about how he's a rabid anti-Semite.
right. Right? It's great. Um, yeah, we got some bad news or not bad news, but like we
know had like a tremendous, uh, tremendous run thus far regardless of, you know, regardless
of how bad he is. There's a couple of different reasons for it. I'll get into it. San Francisco
This goes unbelievably lived up. I mean, this is Nancy Pelosi town, obviously.
It's so funny. People call you a grifter because if you were,
you'd just sit at your, sit your ass at home like a Roche law. Yeah. I don't,
I mean the people that say I'm a fucking a grifter, uh,
that I don't know what they,
they think I could do that would make me not a grifter.
Like I just don't think that there's anything there's,
there's not really anything I could do that.
would lead them to believe that I'm not a grifter.
Do you see what I mean?
Like, I'm putting my money where my mouth is, I'm going out.
I'm promoting candidates that I think are good,
that I think will help people.
I'm doing fundraisers, I'm doing everything.
Like, I don't know, I don't know what else I need to do.
What can I do?
just like, I think people just like, ascribe certain values and certain actions to what
they think I should be doing if I was like, genuinely sincere and not a grifter, which
is an armed insurrection. They're like, Oh, you haven't taken up arms and sees control
over the nearest forward operating base or something. I'm like, I'm not, it's never something
that I've advocated for, as a matter of fact, I make fun of that quite a bit, you know.
I want to build a disciplined, organized workers movement in this country, and I'm taking
the steps necessary to do that.
And for some people, from where they're standing, they feel as though I'm not taking the right
steps.
You know, some people disagree with my methods, some people disagree with the, with the concept.
And that's fine.
have disagreements, right? Democracy is messy. We can have a reasonable back and forth, some
kind of discourse around this. But I think one of the biggest issues, uh, this was what,
uh, Dustin Gardner, a short catch. Everybody's campaign rallying San Francisco tonight. It's
not like it left and people in the crowd cheered after a heckler yelled, fuck Israel, because
put Brill's interest first above your interest.
I didn't say that.
I'm not trying to get short cut in trouble tonight, okay?
Also it's so funny, like this in and of itself is obviously from the perspective of me, this
themselves like indicative of racism. If someone said fuck Saudi Arabia, ain't nobody would be like,
wow, how unbelievably Islamophobic or if someone was like, if someone said, fuck Estonia, you
know what I mean? Or fuck Lithuania or even like, fuck another American state. There would not be
like a single damn thing. This is not a 14 like thing. This is a, come on, Ana phase. Come on,
You know better. This is literally a California politics reporter for playbook at Politico,
who has written about me in San Francisco. Okay? Like that's not, it's not a random Twitter user
boosting this, this clippable moment. This is a person who quite literally has written about me
in California playbook for Politico. He was the one who wrote the whole, I think it was him who
who wrote the whole like, uh, uh, RNC is coming after you saying you're like a anti-Asian
racist. What do you think? Yeah. Imagine if someone was like, fuck Florida or something.
No one would give a shit. It's just, there's only one country that everybody gets, uh,
all up in their feet. He's about, and it's Israel. It's like, it's totally, totally ridiculous.
It's just, it's crazy.
Anyway, I know there's a lot of San Francisco is not dissimilar in many respects to New York.
New York. It's a major, it's a major heart of capital in this country, Silicon Valley is there.
There's an unbelievably reactionary tech movement that has grown in San Francisco. There was a
fairly robust local politics in San Francisco that was very left and it was awesome. And they just
gutted it, right? They destroyed it. These tech guys fucking destroyed it. And as a matter of fact,
Shroycott himself, ironically enough, also a tech guy, also very wealthy, had funded some of those
campaigns too, which is precisely the reason why a lot of the San Francisco left still don't trust
them. They just don't trust them at all for that reason. But I do think he's a real one in spite
of all of that.
Are Dems cooked via Supreme Court decision after Obama says he wants a strong Republican
party seems like a backfire.
Yeah, we'll talk about all of that in a second.
But yeah, so the rally itself was fantastic, you know, I think it was great, it's always
great to be in these tournaments, you know?
So please, I'm sorry!
I'm sorry!
So for a serious goal, will you hear me?
There's a reason why they're not only coming after me,
but they're coming after all of these wonderful candidates
that are putting the working class first in their message,
in their platforms, in their policies,
because they're terrified.
I think it's important to stress that there's brewing frustration with the Democratic Party
among voters in San Francisco that neither Wiener nor Chan are addressing where a shoy
cot is.
We've seen this in the election results from our city 2016, 2020, 2024, the last of which
was the worst Democratic candidate outcome of the three running on that being a non-transformative
Democrat is not going to win in 2026.
Yeah, but at the same time, I think voters are like very conservative in, like San Francisco
liberals are very conservative in many respects. The San Francisco progressives are, are upset
with Shoikat for domestic reasons, for like very local reasons, right? And that's understandable.
I mean, he's been a local operative. He has fundraised or he has funded certain campaigns
that have like taken out Dean Preston, for example. So like he's done, he's done some
stuff that I think is worthy of scrutiny. And it's, you know, it takes a lot for him
to get over that. It's going to take a lot for him to be able to convince people to give
them the confidence that he will be a fighter for their values on the, on the San Francisco
left side, right? The left that hasn't been priced out of San Francisco at least. But
then on top of that, there's a lot of liberals who are frustrated with the party in general,
also look at Scott Wiener as like a guy who spent a decade in California politics. They
know him. They like him. He's six foot seven. He's at all of these events, right? And, and
he is like a familiar face. And in many respects, he's like a perfect guy to take over Nancy
Pelosi's seat. He is going to be an defensive liberal, right?
And that is, that's it at the end of the day. You know, he's, he's all, he's white doesn't
mean anything. We're talking about San Francisco. What do you mean? Every single candidate literally
has like, you know, every single candidate also says their name in Chinese. Like, have
you not noticed that is San Francisco, San Francisco, what is fuck? No, San Francisco
is very, very Asian too. They're, they're definitely open to, to voting into power.
Uh, you know, the Asian candidates, that's crazy for you to say is San Francisco guys.
There's no, it's super Asian. That's the reason why they keep saying, I'm anti Asian, which
is crazy because the very same people that say I'm anti Asian are ironically the same
people that say, oh, he's so pro China. He's like, the, the, from the people that invented
the Wuhan flu or the Kung flu is now this like cynical line of attack claiming that
I'm fucking anti Asian. It's, it's insane. And I know Connie Chan also leaned into that
too, which is frustrating. Like I said, Connie Chen is one of those people where like, I
don't even have a tremendous smoke for. I just like Shoecott more. I think Shoecott is a
better national candidate for the vision that I think would be better for the Democratic
party to lean into. That's it.
Like I think Connie Chen is in other circumstances, in the absence of Shoecott would be a perfectly
fund replacement for Scott Wiener, right? Like she, she's not super exciting as a candidate.
She's not super exciting as a candidate at all, but she is infinitely better than fucking
Scott Wiener, right? So that's not even a question, right? I wouldn't even, I wouldn't
even think about that. Cause like whoever wins this seat is over. They're going to occupy
the seat permanently. Like Scott Wiener will be, if he wins this race, Scott Wiener will be a
Democratic rep from this, will occupy the seat for basically four decades, okay?
So that's terrifying and that should terrify you. He is exactly the type of Democrat that is horrible.
He is exactly the type of Democrat that's a do nothing Democrat
that is going to be perfectly fine with the way the party is working. The fact that he's at 40%,
and this is not copium for the record, the fact that he's at 40% is genuinely good. It's actually
shocking that he is at 40%. Now, obviously there's a top two primary system here. So as long as
Shoycott makes it into the top two I think the entire progressive forces will will will
Surround Shoe cut Chakrabarti and push for him
What the fuck
Damn
This is the second time this happened. I don't know why my internet is fine. So I don't really know why this is happening
Yeah, weiner campaign D-DOS attack. Yeah
That's what happened M is real high. I'm is real high. I'm is real high. Hold on. Let me send a text message real quick to make sure
Another F
Deep state is cooking you brother probably
Yeah, and Israel hi, I'm so sorry Israel greatest country greatest country in the world Israel. I love you
What makes that deep sound does anything pop up on your computer just curious not being annoying
I mean curiosity can be annoying, but no, it's just the OBS going out. That's what it is. It says OBS
dropped, and it's giving me a notification. But yeah, this is not copium. The fact that
Scott Weiner, who has a decade in San Francisco, I mean, who has a decade in California politics
is only at 40% is pretty good. Sorry, dude, it's so fucking annoying. How much you say
that Hassanabi got to say it. What? It's not, it's not an easy race. It's not going to be an easy race,
but progressive forces need to get, uh, progressive forces need to, to basically push. I saw all three
candidates in a relatively intimate community forum in my neighborhood and came away extremely
unimpressed with Connie Chan, to be honest, could have just been a poor performance night in my
my biases were Shoaika, but I didn't see her and what other progressors do. No, I'll give
you the actual assessment. Um, the institutional left in San Francisco was not very confident
in Shoaika. They don't think he's like a real, uh, left candidate at all because of
the previous, uh, donations that he's made. Um, and for that reason, they were like looking
for someone to make sure that it's not Scott Weiner and they just, you know, found Connie
Chen, that's it. They were the ones. But the way I see it is like whoever makes it to the top two
will get the entire progressive socialist left San Francisco to push for them. I don't think that,
like people treat Shroyka like a carpet bagger. He's not. I mean, he's been there. He's been there
for a decade. But, yeah. I mean, I obviously have a lot of confidence in a shoycott. Bro,
is LA playing into an SF or man? I mean, yeah, because I'm aware of some background information
that you might not be. In any case, yeah. So Wiener leads the current race at 40. I
think he was a little bit higher too. So that's giving me a little bit more confidence as
well with Chakrabarty and Chan tie for distance. Second Chronicle poll finds, new San Francisco
Chronicle poll found the likely primary voters across almost every demographic group prefers
a state center. Scott Wiener in the race who replaced Nancy Pelosi while the other two
leading candidates. Supervisor Connie Chan and wealthy former software engineer, Shoecut
Chakrabarty are neck and neck in a distant second place. Primary ballots are due in less
than a month and the two candidates with the most votes regardless of the party will advance
to the general election in November at stake is the chance to represent California's 11th
congressional district, which covers all but the southern most neighborhoods of San Francisco,
the Excelsior Portola, all the stuff. In total, about 40% of respondents said that they either
plan to vote for Wiener or lean towards voting for him. Chakrabarty and Chan, meanwhile,
are in its statistical tie was 18 and 17 of respondents choosing them respectively.
Former Republican Mary Corabiel is in a distant fourth at 5% with 30% of respondents saying
they would vote for another candidate. The poll reflects the opinions of 819 likely voters
in the district, April 28th, May 3rd, surveyed by text message and email respondents to take
the poll in English or simplify Chinese that had a margin of sampling error of plus or
minus 3%. Weir is popular to cut across almost every demographic. The state senator who is
the best name recognition in the race. That's the reason he has a tremendous name recognition
was the top choice across age groups as well as across ethnicities that includes Chinese
voters. A demographic group Chan has been courting while we know support among Chinese
voters wasn't as strong as it was among other ethnicities is still was well above chance
for that group. 36 front of Chinese respondents said they would vote for winner while just
19% said they prefer Chan Chinese voters in San Francisco or profoundly important constituency.
That's the reason why they've been attacking me as anti-Asian, which is insane.
Because if San Francisco, if the Chinese population in San Francisco knew, like actually
knew what my opinion was and like what I think we should be doing with China, they would
fucking love my shit, okay?
Not only have I obviously been to China, but I also am not exactly shy about revealing
my position on China, which is that we should chart a totally separate path in our relationship
with China, which the overwhelming majority of the Chinese population, no, they hit China.
No, fuck no.
No, you guys don't understand.
I literally, look, look, look, maybe it's because I have a relative from Taiwan in my immediate
family, but you guys do not understand the complexities of diaspora, folks in the diaspora,
okay?
They might not like CCP, they might be from Taiwan, it still doesn't matter.
But what you're thinking of is an unbelievably reactionary diaspora population that is not
the case in San Francisco.
Chinese diaspora does not hate China or the Chinese people.
They actually take a lot of pride in how much China has grown.
And their attitude is not this similar to mine, which is let's not wage war with China.
And instead, let's chart a different, you know, peaceful path forward with China.
A massive power in the world.
Okay.
Like you're, you might be thinking of like the, the Shen Yun guys or something.
Like that's not how it is.
Like normal Chinese Americans don't fucking normal Chinese Americans are basically
just like, yeah, it's chill. Let's not wage war with China. Anti-Asian hatred has increased
in the country, that sort of stuff. And they have a lot of pride for not only Chinese culture,
but also what like China has become as a nation state.
In any case, support for candidates
in California 11 primary election by ethnicity
and the white part of me, he's just,
Scott Wiener has unbelievable name recognition,
always dominating in this, uh, in this field and, and short cut has a shit ton of funds.
And, and, uh, short cut funds and profits off of private equity said there's no limit
to how much personal money he'd spend to win. But once the band personal money from funding
future elections paid the house, the city's only actual progressive supervisor. I know,
I know, um, BSA, uh, DSA San Francisco. I know, I know he, he gave 10 grand to, uh,
guy who ended up fighting against Dean Preston. I know it's okay, okay? I know, I understand
why you don't trust them for that reason. I don't have the same considerations that
you do, okay? I know. No, these people are not huge Connie heads. Oh wait, this point,
person might be Connie's the only left candidate you were here one day normal Chinese want Connie
else I'm fucking grifter for Maryland is going to backfire so hard and hurt your brand man
should the fuck up about my brand dude okay you know how much I hear that every day I believe
what I believe and I make my positions very fucking clear what do you mean this is going to hurt
your brand what are you my fucking brand manager I don't even have a goddamn PR person okay let alone
random chatters in the chat being like, uh, excuse me, I'm gonna backseat, uh, what you
are trying to do here? Yeah, dude. Oh no, I can't believe it. The guy that like every
fucking mainstream media outlet is calling a fucking anti-semitic terrorist, his brand
is going to be tarnished. What brand do I have? I just have beliefs. Okay. I have beliefs.
I have my people and I have an idea of what kind of necessary change needs to take place
in this country, okay?
And no, like I said, I don't think Connie Chan is like an offensive person at all.
I think she's like a, you know, like a tepid center left Democrat.
But I think the politics is, don't have a PR person, what am I chopped tofu?
Austin ox, you have literally destroyed my career.
What the fuck do you mean?
What am I chopped tofu?
Yeah, you're, you are chopped tofu, motherfucker.
You have played a formative role for years of doing anti PR.
That's crazy.
I mean, you've, you've gotten a lot better now with pop stenox, but
Yeah.
Who's better, who's better, you guys, they get accomplishing their goals.
Schumer by making the left love Israel or Austin ox by making everybody love me.
But it stopped being nicely quick because I wasn't even trying. Oh, nice. Okay.
Austin ox is the, Austin ox is a choked Schumer. What choked Schumer wanted to do with making the left
pro Israel. Austin ox been doing by making, making everybody be pro me.
You did all that PR for you. Yeah. The Gucci shirt, the house, the Cussie, cracker, barbs,
Austin oxes, nukes over and over again. Um, but yeah, getting back to the, uh, getting
back to the San Francisco race, um, uh, that's not to say we are leaves among every sector
of the elector while he enjoys most of the sport from self described liberals and modders,
progressives and just as inclined to vote for his two top competitors,
Chan and Chakrabarty, as they are for him,
the three leading democratic candidates split the progressive poll respondents
equally, each getting about 30% of their support.
Top issues for voters in the California 11 primary election is obviously cost of
living, it's housing, Donald Trump, homelessness, healthcare, Israel,
Palestinians, immigration, and another issue between Chan and Chakrabarty.
The poll showed that Chakrabarty had more support from young voters.
And those who had lived in the city for less than 15 years,
Chan, on the other hand, had chock-a-barry beat among middle-aged voters. Other socioeconomic
factors such as home ownership and college education may for a little difference in preference,
but long-term residents in the city were less supportive of Wiener compared with those newer
to the city.
So, yeah, Scott Wiener has locked down the primary, at least for sure. And that is, you
that is, that was always going to be the case. He has a lot, he has a lot of name recognition. So
the San Francisco standard wrote an article and so did the San Francisco
Chronicle. The revolution is here. Progressive Democrats changed the party message hits home
at Pact SF Rally. A bunch of the progressive Bay Area voters crammed into a San Francisco
nightclub Thursday for a campaign rally held by Congressional candidate, Shroy Katchak,
party that featured the hyper popular and controversial political commentator
son piker the mostly young crowd was packed shoulder to shoulder seemingly
energized about the rally's change the party theme and keep promise of
chockabarty's campaign to replace speaker of merida nancy Pelosi the
former tech engineer sent a millionaire who found a group dedicated to unseating
incumbent moderate democrats shared a vision thursday for a more progressive
agenda in washington san francisco the political revolution is here chockabarty
said when he took the stage a little after eight thirty p.m. the promise has
has rankled some Democrats in San Francisco and beyond, but it's also resonated deeply
with many attendees, some of whom travel from the East Bay and beyond to hear Piker and
Chakrabarty speak. T. Bowman, a camiser for San Francisco voters, she sees Chakrabarty
as a kind of upfront and honest candidate who could affect change in Washington. I feel
like the Democratic party isn't standing up for us in the right ways, Bowman said, citing
foreign policy issues and corporate spending on elections.
This slate of Democrats running in Chakrabarty includes state Senator Scott Weiner, race
front-runner, Supervisor Connie Chan and Mary Rubial, a former Presidio Trust Board member.
Chakrabarty has embraced the role of a Democratic dissident willing to buck party leadership.
An alumnus of Senator Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign, Chakrabarty has criticized
the party's approach to court issues from President Donald Trump to Israel to affordability.
We need a new generation of leaders that will deliver on a fundamentally better life for all,
Chakrabarty said during a speech. To do that, we have to completely change the leadership
of the Democratic party. After Sanders lost his bid in 2016,
Chaka Bharti helped found the Justice Democrats political action committee dedicated to helping
progressive campaigns unseat incumbent Democrats in primary race across the country. The group
recruited AOC to challenge Representative Joe Crowley in New York City after her win. Chaka
Bharti became her chief of staff at the Capitol, though Ocasio-Cortez declined to endorse him in
this race. Chaka Bharti was joined on stage Thursday by three progressive candidates challenging
incumbent Democrats in primary race across the country, who spoke about their desire to reshape
the party from within. The stakes could not be higher.
Chaka Bhartiy said in an interview before the rally, if we just keep going in the direction
we're going, we're sleepwalking into the destruction of this party. So I'd rather
change and win than just go to the direction that we're headed right now. He dismissed the
notion that his pugnacious approach could hamper his effectiveness in Washington should he advance
in the June primary and go to win elections in November. Senator would rely not only on support
from his fellow Democrats past legislation, but leverages popularity with supporters on the grassroots
level, much as Ocasio-Cortez used their large fund to build support for progressed policies,
such as the Green New Deal.
Chakrabarty supporters in attendance Thursday said, they hope that approach could give them
a voice in the party. They say it's failed to stand up for their values. I feel like
I've been waiting 40 years for this guy. I said, Regina Eastlaws of San Francisco, a
campaign volunteer and long time Democrat. One of the four, one of the things I like
that he's a fighter, he's a feisty guy and we need that spirit, that combativeness and
Chakrabarty's decision to court Piker support could alienate some voters. Piker has emerged
a divisive figure in the party and a favorite target for moderate Democrats and Republicans
for controversial comments on a slew of issues, including Israel, 9 11 and Asian Americans
on Wednesday, San Francisco, a supervisor, Matt Dorsey said he was submitted resolution
to the city's Democratic Party Central Committee, decrying Piker urging him, uh, and his support
is to pursue the formation of their own party and to get out of ours.
Chaka Barty seemed to lean in the Dorsey center in a social media video on Thursday, labeling
him as a part of the party's old guard. They're attacking us because we want Democrats to
to stop taking corporate money. They're attacking us because we want in the genocide in Gaza
to end.
Piker echoed the message on stage of the rally suggesting that Dorsey and the other critics
were out of touch with what the voters want. See a lot of people in this room who want
to change the party today. We have to fight to make sure we elect responsive politicians
who serve our interests. In the week leading up to the rally, flyers in Chinese and English
had popped up on telephone poles and lamp posts around the city urging people to come out
to protest biker's appearance. But as the event got underway Thursday, there was no
evidence that such a protest had materialized. There's a lesson there in that story,
Piker said. Chaka Bharti's opponents might have the support of politically powerful
outside groups he added, but we have the people.
Everyone on the right is making you a thought leader. Everyone on the left is,
the left of you is just making fun of you in the chat. Yeah, we'll get serious at some point,
And I think hopefully, uh, San Francisco standard wrote about it as well.
Tech mill, uh, tech millionaire running for nasa policy seat, packed a Selma club with
young progressives, a few skeptics for a night that was part rally, part concert.
Now what's interesting about this, of course, and Nathan J. Robinson said too, as well as
aspiring progressive candidates, uh, for once, uh, aspiring progressive candidates for office
now realizes the support of us on as an asset and not a political liability, which tells
you how much American politics has changed.
So, yeah, serious. You're a Twitch streamer. No, I just mean like we have to get serious.
I mean, look, the reality is this is the information environment has changed back in
the day pamphlets and newspapers were one of the most profound organs, profoundly important
organs of propaganda for any fucking political movement for any political party. You know,
got to take what you can, right? I'm not, you know, I have a platform. I will try to
use it to the best of my ability to, to, you know, organize people to get them to move
in a direction and make decisions and let their voice be heard. And, and hopefully we
can, you know, change the future of this country and change the trajectory of this country
in a positive direction. Mission local, let a thousand Zorans bloom, left us flying to
boost shortcut Chakrabarty's in, uh, as SF's insurgent savior, congressional candidate
shortcut Chakrabarty's an outsider San Francisco politics who has not been welcomed by the
city's political establishment progressives and moderates alike. But instead of seeking
their vote of confidence is bringing other outsiders in on Thursdays evening, Chakrabarty's
changed the party rally drew many hundreds of attendees who pack city nights at night
club in Soma to the brim.
What a lot of people don't realize by the way, are you going to address Virginia? What
do you think it's literally the largest story of the day?
You think I'm just going to only talk about a couple of San Francisco newspapers that
wrote about the rally last night, or do you think I'm going to talk about the Virginia
Supreme Court's decision to overturn the Democratic referendum that allowed for redistricting
to take place?
So here's the problem.
Here's the problem with the outsider's narrative.
Yeah, I live in Los Angeles, California.
But you know who lives in San Francisco, people that have the same exact issues as, as many
of the people that live in Los Angeles, California, or even Nashville, Tennessee, or New York,
New Jersey, Minneapolis, Minnesota, motherfucking people in Iowa, they all have the same exact
issues.
And not only that, but also I have community members that live in these places.
It's not like when I fly to San Francisco, people are flying from, I don't know, New
York City to come to San Francisco to watch me speak.
No, these are people that live in the city.
These are people who live in San Francisco.
These are people who are door knocking in San Francisco.
They're just happened to be fans of mine.
So it's very strange to make it seem like I'm this outsider.
And it's really interesting because I don't think they used to say this about Charlie
Kirk, right? Like, the Republican media would never be like, Charlie Kirk is an outsider
coming to the red state of Texas. He's bringing his Illinois values, his Chicago values of
the red state of Texas to fuck up the party.
Like there is a, there is so much more consolidation within the ranks of the Republicans, both
terms of the organs of propaganda on the Republican side, all the way down to the political movements
that keep growing. I mean, you saw this with the Tea Party, right? Which is what a lot of people
equivocating what we're doing too, even though there's obviously some issues with that comparison.
But yes, there is an insurgent movement that is demanding more responsive politics,
more responsive politicians and fighters.
Fighters who will not only fight against the Republicans, but also will fight for
certain policies that will genuinely improve the material conditions of the working class in this country.
It's clear that the Democrats have not been putting up a strong enough fight.
That's why there's a lot of discontent, and that's the environment that we're in.
By the way, regarding the attack on Troika, yeah, whoa, AOC's chief just deleted this.
Troika Chakrabarty tweeted this, instead of fiscally conservative but socially liberal,
let's call the new Democrats and blue dog caucus the new Southern Democrats.
They certainly seem hellbent to do to black and brown people today, what the old Southern
Democrats did in the 40s.
Yeah, he said blue dog Democrats are racist.
Okay. Do you understand why I like this guy though? I mean, he said this in 2019 is AOC's
chief of staff. Like, we have a tendency, I think, the left should not do this ever,
but we have a tendency in American politics to punish people for being right just too
early. Okay. And I don't even think he was too early when he said this at the time, but
like, it's really interesting. It's really, really fucking interesting that like, you
know, a guy, a guy who said this, who was correct back then and certainly is still correct
now is being presented as not like what his worldview is, what his values are, but instead
as like a controversial figure, let's just not really dig deep into what his worldview
looks like.
But if you understand that kind of stuff, you understand why I feel confident in endorsing
uh... and and you know working alongside even though it's a fucking long shot
uh... working alongside uh... a a sent a millionaire
okay
that's it that's why i don't i don't have issues doing that even though
initially i i had my suspicions as well
regardless of of my knowledge of of what he represented
i was still worried about some of the things he had done
as far as like who he had uh... you know
endorsed or who he had actually funded the campaigns up.
Yeah, the additional backstory on this is that he was upset about them leadership
including Pelosi saying
they would fight against the immigration bill and then one day deciding just to
drop the fight and pass it on with no concessions a republican immigration bill
that literally led to the 2025-2026 ice fuckery, yes.
And what's really interesting about it is they're doing that to me right now as well.
A lot of people who like Connie Chan or even some people who like Scott Wainer, people
who find me to be a dangerous person that's like ruining the party or whatever, are cynically
claiming that I'm anti-Asian, which is, I think, one of the funniest things you could
possibly say about me beyond being like anti-trans or pro-Israel is that, is that I like more,
more often than not, I hear the opposite thing, which is that I'm too pro-China, right? And
then all of a sudden I'm like anti-Asian. But there are people who I like, whose takes
I actually appreciate, like guys like this, why dissembler? I don't have any issue with
these people. Like there's a lot of people in the anti-Shoycott camp that I actually
literally, uh, uh, am, am totally aligned with ideologically, right?
I've never even heard this criticism.
Now you're anti-agent.
It's just made up, man.
It's made up.
Look, look at what he cropped out in the screenshot.
Another endorsement of Charlie Brody from Czech nose, Pennsylvania.
Amazing.
Look at what he cropped out in the screenshot in April.
The role of a national committee resurface videos of which Piker expressed irritation
with first generation, second generation, third generation, Asian people who are dogs,
the white people, supervisor, Connichan, another candidate running against
shark about who's born in Hong Kong condemned the rhetoric interstatement at the time is
disappointing when we become used to people making inflammatory even races remarks get
cloud online to which I responded with you're happy with the current admins anti diversity
initiatives this republican clip trip was my commentary about a white supremacist or
using tokens of dismantle affirmative action do you agree with the RNC research team does
Connie to be fair I don't even think she does you know you think you're reaching teaching
leftist in first years go anything about this we all know about it because it was fucking
home grown and started with friends of Lowell, uh, that spawned with Dianne app.
Yeah.
What he's doing here is mirroring Connie's design is in defensive view because
she reacted to something, uh, she reacted to some completely indefensible statement
of yours.
See, this is what I mean.
It's like, we're really, it's indefensible.
You, you find it indefensible.
You find it defensible for, for a white supremacist organization who has actively
tried to fucking tackle affirmative action initiatives, which have now led to the anti-DEI
movement that we are currently in, you find that to be so fucking...
Sometimes you can't be talking like that, white baby. See, this is what I mean. First of all,
suck my fucking cock, okay? I'm a goddamn Muslim American. It gets fucking called a terrorist
every fucking day, all right? Are we doing racism Olympics? Are we talking about what kind of
What kind of racism is institutionally completely appropriate?
What do you think?
Who do you think receives more fucking dick eating on a daily fucking basis?
Oh my God, white baby?
We're not talking about like a black American living in Jim Crow, South here.
What the fuck?
I'm attacking the concept of tokens that are being spent in the past of white supremacy.
You can't be saying white baby like that.
That's ridiculous.
It's a joke, man.
I know.
It's just like very frustrating, the idea that I'm like a anti-Asian reactionary because
I'm saying that the anti-DEI movement that is literally harming Asian Americans right
now in some ways was also, in some ways deployed, Asian faces for white supremacy.
This is how it started.
That clip is one from the Republican National Committee.
Of course, they don't give a fuck about Asian people.
I do.
If I describe the context of what my criticism is, and you still choose to go, no, that's
still fucked up.
No, you know what I think is fucked up?
I think white supremacy is fucked up.
I think anti-di initiatives are fucked up, okay?
I think racism is fucked up.
And if you are going to be a willing participant of white supremacist movements, I'm gonna
shit on you, okay?
It's once again, people getting lost in the fucking optics of something, and choosing
to not read further into what's going on, and the process of me describing exactly what's
fucking going on. I've had to deal with this shit not stop with Candace Owens for example
or Thomas Sowell. Am I anti-black for shitting on Thomas Sowell? Am I anti-black for shitting
on Candace Owens for saying Candace Owens is a token for white supremacy? Some people
think that way. I certainly don't. We can have a real conversation about it, but if
If you just get stuck with the fucking, if you get stuck with the, with the notion that
like I'm, you know, I'm a reactionary, then yeah, we're going to have a, we're going to
have an issue with that.
That's stupid.
Anyway, it's a joke, man.
I guess people aren't as terminally online as I thought.
Sorry.
I thought you, well, yeah.
I mean, they try to do this with Nick Fuentes, bro.
When I said Nick Fuentes is a gay Mexican white nationalist.
How does that make sense?
People are like, well, Hasan, you're being homophobic and you're being anti-Mexican.
It's crazy.
Like the liberalism is so fucking busted, like standpoint epistemology being deployed
at the behest of unbelievably reactionary movements
is is
so effective still for so many people because
i don't think liberals understand like they have no they have no way of
conceptualizing the lake
like uh... someone can be
a willing participant in white supremacy and white supremacist movements in
fascist movements we live in the united states of america the groper movement is
the unbelievably diverse okay
groepers these white nationalist neo-nazis on the internet
are far more diverse than whatever the fuck the the educated suburbs look like
that vote for the democratic party consistently and there's still people
turning around and being like no no i don't understand what
well why are you making fun of uh... why are you making fun of all of these uh...
all of these uh... brown and uh... and and gay sometimes uh... white national
is in the groepers movement like that's really fucked up
sweetie
they have a little bit more nuance right
Anyway, I don't have any time for that. I don't really give a fuck.
If you don't like the way I communicate, it is what it is, right? This is just how it is.
I know, I know what it's a, what's a reference to.
Meanwhile, the Republican party has actively disenfranchised the entire, the black voting
block in fucking Tennessee. And we're having this dumbass conversation. You know what I mean?
It's ridiculous. Anyway, Jamal Bowman, former representative of New York's 16th district,
flew in for the event as did Daryliza, Avila, Chevalier, Angela Gonzalez-Torres,
Milan Cureaus, who are running for season in the House of Representatives from New
York City, Los Angeles, and Denver respectively. We have to completely change the direction of
the leadership of the Democratic Party.
We need a Democratic Party that knows how to fight to stop authoritarian rules," said
Chakrabarty.
But the biggest draw on most controversial aspects of the night was ostensibly not Chakrabarty,
but it's on Piker, popular left-wing commentator who is over 3 million followers on Twitch,
and according to Wired, streams 7 to 8 hours a day.
When Mission Local waited to speak for Chakrabarty before the rally, the candidate was backstage
in the middle of streaming with Piker.
the rally. Parker's comments echoed chakra parties. We deserve a better party that will
put your interests first. He likened chakra part of the Zara mom diet and democratic socials
was elected mayor of New York city last year and reappropriate a popular Mao slogan. We
can let a thousand Zara's bloom.
Parker said,
Chakra party, both as candidate in his previous roles, representative AOC's chief of staff
has positioned himself as a combative foil for the mainstream Democrats. While this campaign
is staunchly anti-Trump, he's taken particular aim of the democratic party and what he calls
the failure to stop Trump's authoritarianism. We wrote some feathers of democratic establishment
Chakrabarty said to the roaring crowd and I'm glad we did.
Unlike his opponent, State Senator Scott Wiener, Supervisor Connichan, Chakrabarty has not
held office in San Francisco. And before putting his hat in the ring and spending $4.8 million
on his own campaign, he had little name recognition here. When asked how he plans to build trust
with voters who may not know him, Chakrabarty said he's focused on getting as much face
time with the voters as possible.
I'm not part of the local political establishment, Chakrabarty said. The way that we've been
running this campaign from the start is to be as physically available as possible. We've
done more public events, more direct voter contact, more conversation with real people
San Francisco than any of my opponents. I think all my opponents combined at this point.
The sent to millionaire former startup engineer who is more, uh, who is likely worth more than
a hundred million dollars has paid GOP paid, paid gobs to hire an army at doorknob to get
his name out is also turning into social media and its influencers. On Thursday night, trucker
ready to interviews with both members of the press and members of what is campaign dubbed the
new media content creators and internet personas and millions of combined followers. The content
greatest filed in line, uh, waiting to speak to trucker party backstage for a few dedicated
minutes for each candidate. But Piker is the most popular. He's sometimes stylized the
Joe Rogan of the left and subsequently drawn the most iron from moderate Democrats here.
Supervisor Matt Dorsey, author of resolution the same day as their rally, asking the San
Francisco democratic party to condemn Piker and reject any attempt to change the democratic
party to align with Piker's views. Dorsey is taking issue with Piker's outspoken criticism
of Israel Dorsey in his own words, a self-proclaimed Zionist and Piker scum is saying America's
deserve 9 11 plus a bizarre rant, uh, in which you should recall the Vietnamese version of
fucking idiotic old lady for opposing communism and supporting president Donald Trump.
The bizarre rant, um, Dorsey and others have sought to paint the online tirade as an anti
Asian.
Bill Piker has said that while my sentiment is vulgar, his statements have been taken
out of context.
He's streaming for much of the day after all.
And on Thursday, no one in the hot crowd or room seemed to pay much attention to Dorsey's
flogging.
The crowd was more focused on stump chance like abolish ice, back to rich Medicare for
all while flyers posted around the city had advertised playing a counter protest outside
rally, no one showed up. There's a lot of people who didn't want me to be here today from the
San Francisco Democratic Party from numerous astral turf organizations to put flyers all
around San Francisco Park, a set on stage, but he added not a single person showed up to protest.
They have the money and interests, but we have the people.
And no show counter protest after putting all those fucking flyers out. Kind of a,
kind of an L. Let's be real.
even the fucking organizers didn't show up who the heck even wants you to be helping
their political campaigns anymore says restore the holy Roman Empire.
Yeah, I don't understand it either, man.
The Iran take is delusional.
Oh, damn, the U.S. hasn't stopped the jihadist government from being jihadist.
The government only killed 40,000 of their own people.
Romans lasted 2,000 years.
What does the U.S. even need?
Why can't they give bombs to Ukraine?
Holy Roman Empire, a larper, comes in and says, my new, my newfound fascination is American
domestic politics, specifically in the Democratic Party's primary system.
And I don't personally understand why people want to be, why people want to even align
with someone like yourself.
I don't either, man.
Kind of feels like, kind of feels like I represent a lot of the people's frustrations within
the base of the party.
Do you think if the USSR was still active, you would live there?
That's a silly question.
Why do you always make stuff about you?
I don't know if you know this, but what we're doing right now is reading news articles about
rally that I participated in. First one is bait. Okay. Oh, good bait. Um, F bombs and
disco balls, all this stuff is basically going, um, it's just like some of the most, uh, unbelievably
unpopular forces within the Democratic Party that have literally led the Democrats to be,
the do nothing Democrats and people are very frustrated with,
are frustrated with my involvement in campaigns. I look, here's the thing,
I have my opinions, I have my beliefs. I don't need to go out, spend my own fucking money
flying around the goddamn country to go stump with candidates to go to rallies, okay?
I can marshal plenty of forces from all the way out here in Los Angeles, California without
ever having to leave my home, right?
I don't like leaving my home.
I don't like flying around.
It's much easier for me to do everything that I'm doing from over here, but the reason
why I'm doing it is because there are people who I think are worth it. There are people
out there all around the country that genuinely see a significant problem with the way that
the Democrats have operated thus far. And they want to move the party into a direction
that centers people in my community, people are larger than just my community, but people
in the working class and advance their interests, advance their needs, advance their material
conditions.
People who want to fight for Medicare for all.
People who are going to continue fighting the Republicans.
People who are going to do left economic populism in their campaigns.
This is what I think is a much more successful method to completely destroy the Republican
party, while also simultaneously advancing an agenda that will be better.
I watched for five seconds already, field dumber. See, it's for these guys, okay? We do this not just
for our loved ones, but for our haters as well, right? Because like, think about a world where this
guy could have a positive attitude about the future of America. A world where this guy could
Have gotten the free education all the way up to college and and had a federal jobs guarantee, you know what I mean?
And could make ends meet with one single fucking job in a 40 hour work week
Could have hopes could have a could have a family one day, you know what I mean could have time to go out and meet people
instead of fucking toiling away endlessly and then in the in the brief moments that he has to
himself and go to the Twitch stream of a guy who he despises.
Right?
The ironic part is that you're spending more of your own money to promote these canons while
less people subscribe because they probably think you're getting more money because of
all the coverage you get even though it's mostly smears including being called a grifter.
Yeah. Yeah. It's true. No, people, people legitimately think I'm getting paid by these
fucking candidates. No, motherfucker, I'm spending my own money. What are you talking about getting
being paid by these candidates. I've heard that over and over and it's like, oh,
Shoe Cop must be paying us on. Yeah, totally, dude. I'm famously exactly the, what do you
mean, there's an un-fuckable loser, right? What are you talking about? Are you an un-fuckable
loser? Are you what's what's hurting you? What's hurting you today, chalaburn?
Are you crying in my chat?
Also, a lot of this stuff is public. I mean, these are elections. So, you could personally,
how are you this confident about it? So, you're saying no candidate ever subscribed
to you? I don't think a candidate has ever subscribed to me. I have no way of knowing,
right? But you think a Twitch subscription is like funding, you know, is actually paying
me to fly out? I mean, yeah, Cat, Cat Alvogazalic is a long-term Hasan Abihed community subscriber,
bought my merch as well as before she ran for office. But look, look, here's the thing,
Here's the thing.
If candidates were fucking paying me for my support, you would know about it.
Because that kind of stuff is public.
You can't hide that kind of stuff.
You know what I mean?
It's just not a thing you can hide.
These are elections we're talking about.
And a guy who, a guy who literally, why are you selling merch merchandise that's unethical
as a communist? Yes. Socialism means no commerce. Famously.
Um, yeah, Union made American made by the way, yeah, uh, if there's one thing that you
all have that have spent enough time in this community, no, there's one thing you know.
It is that I very publicly will say no to a fuck ton of money from
Companies that want to sponsor this broadcast
So replies is that Michael wise America so crazy at the whole world hasn't gone all in on China
Even if the United States falls the whole world won't unanimously sigh with China the ideological stance of China's a socialist state
Simply cannot be welcomed by capitalist countries or capitalist supporters
The US is just the embodiment of capitalism even without it
It capitals worldwide won't suddenly vanish.
How do they find the West?
Enemies, the West is not simply summarized as Europe and America.
The West is an ideology that dictates the strong exploit the weak, and the bourgeoisie
exploit the proletariat, allowing capital to expand indefinitely.
Thus, Europe, America, Japan, Korea, Australia, and many of the vassals along with their pro-Western
bourgeoisie hidden in other countries that support their systems are all a part of the
West.
I can only say that the world is fortunate to have China as the stabilizing pillar of
the United States for the sole superpower.
I can't imagine how dark it would be.
Even the most moderate socialism is still socialism, as long as the ideological foundation
remains unchanged, capitalism is terrified.
Guess which country wants to maintain the old world order the most?
Actually, it's a class contradiction.
The global capitalist class fears the dictatorship of scientific socialism, communist parties,
so they desperately try to stop China's rise and promote the China threat theory.
Capital flow isn't that difficult.
What capital fears is not able to be able to do whatever it wants in a socialist state.
Yeah, I mean, these guys spend a good deal of money undermining fucking trade unionism.
you know what I mean? That's not communism, that's not socialism. They do everything they can to ensure
that you don't even get a fair contract, right? That you don't even get to unionize, and if you
do, God forbid, right, from their perspective, you never get a fair contract. So of course,
they're terrified of the prospect of a surging country that is run by a communist party that has,
at times, over and over again, willingly control the flows of capital and have
engaged in tremendous amounts of control over unbelievably wealthy and unbelievably
powerful individuals within China, right? The idea that like Chinese billionaires,
for example, can go to prison is terrifying. In the United States of America, billionaires go on
stage and say tax the rich is a heinous slur, okay? They think a demand for more equitable
outcomes, a demand for the wealthy to pay their fair share is akin to a slur.
So the very fact that the Chinese government even like throws people that have poisoned
like baby formula or whatever, into prison, or even sometimes, you know, execute them.
That is terrifying for the super wealthy. If you're the head of DuPont Chemical, why the
fuck would you ever want to live in a world controlled by not China necessarily, but at
at least like a system that resembles the Chinese one.
Ken Griffin said he got PTSD from Zoramumdani, calling him out individually.
Anyway, lots of flyers for the protesters against Islam on the hunt outside of the
and San Francisco tonight, but no sign of any protesters.
Pikers do the rally for Shoycott,
former congressman, represented Bowman is also here.
Prominent San Francisco,
Dan with a resolution condemning the Shoycott rally and Piker.
We already covered all this stuff, right?
I think it was one group that just like distributed
these flyers thinking that people will show up
and then fucking obviously no one showed up,
including the organizers themselves.
But, um, and Piker came on more relaxed and simultaneously more awkward than anyone who
had preceded him, like someone from whom public speaking comes naturally, it still feels vaguely
uncomfortable.
He was the smooth, but shy football player.
Chakrabarty was the valedictorian he'd been copying homework from someone to the crowd.
He'll fuck Israel.
Piker said he had to behave himself on the podcast.
Posse, America, he had to find comments calling him also 1000 times better than Israel saying
he would vote for a month every single time. His slogan for Thursday night's event,
we can let a thousand Zoran's bloom.
Chakrabarty followed Piker and cycled through a stump speech.
Corporate America take billionaire should control politics,
Medicare for all affordable housing, clean energy,
but with more emphasis on the need to reassert progressive values at the heart
of the Democratic party.
Israel was the hinge for more than a few among the crowd. Nathan Selk,
27 said he'd switched support for Chakrabarty after winner during a debate
declined to describe Israel's actions as Gaza as a genocide.
Weiner has since changed his position.
Anilopa is 20 USF students says she doesn't believe in electoral politics, but a supporting
Chakrabarti because he's the best option we have Megan Roche, 27 and Ryan, 28 who declined
to give his last name because he works for the federal government. We're ready to vote
for Chakrabarti, but decline. No, I love, I care about his policies. Roche said, I don't
think someone with a hundred million dollars is a functioning human being on the same level
as me. Ryan added, he's not a real person. That's a healthy attitude to have about all
politicians in general, especially one who is a centimillionaire, but, you know.
What is this?
Did you know that you're currently top post on Reddit rslashworkreform and it actually
and it isn't actually a conversation full of dog jokes?
What is this?
Oh, is it the Washington Generals want a strong Harlem Globetrotters team?
I'd rather just not have a binary system of dog shit.
Any chance you can help for submission to help that happen?
It's a good analogy.
Yeah, it's one that I make all the time. Anyway, all right, let's move on from this.
The other thing that I said earlier was the VA Supreme Court denied the results of the
redistricting referendum. SCOTUS got to the Voting Rights Act in Tennessee carved up the
last damn district destroying black voter power in the state. Those who make peaceful
revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable. Now, many of you are probably familiar
this quote. If you have done any reading whatsoever, you know that this is JFK, right?
And of course, classic, I said democracy is a pressure valve for the public.
This kind of systemic disenfranchisement will inevitably lead to chaos, okay?
And this, of course, frustrated every Republican, including Republican, former Republican,
Stacey K. But the Voting Rights Act being repealed was all the result of peaceful right-wing
Revolution. They accomplished the rollback of Voting Rights Act by winning important elections
over the span of the last 30 years. Revolution isn't necessarily a left thing thing. I didn't
say that. That's precisely the reason why I'm using the JFK quote.
Okay. Also, I wouldn't say that the Republican takeover of American politics has been peaceful
at all. Anyway, Ted Cruz obviously responded immediately, this is who the Democrats are
campaigning alongside the, the is, is, oh, the is openly calling for violent revolution.
Um, humiliating even for you. They don't teach JFK, close to Harvard, or maybe you miss it
when you grew up in Canada. Uh, it just, everyone is dunking on him. Okay. And then there's
the people who are going, um, actually, um, actually like, this is my favorite type of
dumbass, right? Guy who will come in to be like, well, to be fair, it's JFK's quote,
but Hassan openly calls for violence. So I'm going to totally fucking rob the nuance of
the context of the situation, right? Like, what are you doing? And then I click on their
profile and they're, you know, they're not even a fucking liberal or wait, maybe they
are. You can check all the quotes here. Oh yeah, no, it's just Ben Shapiro, Cartier
Communist, Bill Milligan. Okay. Bill Milligan, Will Chamberlain, Denatralized Deportives
on Piker, Andy No, it's a real who's who. And then Tim Miller, who also came in hot.
Okay. This is funny though. The quote Hassan is deploying here is from JFK, but I can understand
why Ted Cruz might not be a fan of JFK yet possibly because his dad wasn't a fan of JFK.
Okay. Tim Miller says, do not think people should consider violence over Virginia,
German or in rulings. There are plenty of other remedies. In fact, Democrats are likely
to win eight seats out of 11 and control the house of representatives. I said, I'm not
advocating for violence. I don't think JFK was either. Said, I understand. I just think
the quote isn't applicable in the case of Virginia, which I said, I think the VA Supreme
Court and the gutting of the VRA are a part of the same nakedly partisan court system
that actively works to overturn the democratic wishes of the majority and disenfranchise
people. Where do you think this will go if the people of Tennessee lose faith in democracy
altogether?
The Tennessee situation is materially different from VA. It's really grotesque. It's really
grow tests spent most of the pot on it today. The state can barely be described as a democracy
at this point. I can understand why people would be demoralized. That said, is it worse
than Hungary, which is, which just defeated an authoritarian without mass violence? I
don't believe so. There are a lot of great people. Jonas Pearson, Tennessee holler doing
revolutionary organizing there without suggesting the answer may be violence. If anything violence
there would probably empower the authorities elsewhere. I'm, I, I once again, Tim Miller
is like, I understand the point that you're making, but I'm still going to act like you're
advocating for violence. I'm not advocating for violence, I'm saying if you keep destroying
different pressure valves, if you keep telling people they can't protest in the streets,
if you jailed them over it, okay? If you take away their power to vote, if you take away
their representation, then people are inevitably going to lead in that direction, which is
ironically enough, exactly what JFK was talking about, right?
That's it. It's not, it's nothing new. I don't think he understands that this sentiment isn't
promoting violent action. It's that it leads people other than you making that choice about
removing a pressure valve. Yes, I make it very clear. And yet, there are plenty of liberals who
who fucking despise someone ever leaning into systemic analysis.
There are plenty of people who think analysis equals endorsement.
There are plenty of people who genuinely cannot comprehend someone saying,
look, these kinds of seismic shifts that disenfranchise voters,
if left unchecked,
will inevitably create a destabilized system.
And in the aftermath of the said destabilized system where people have no pressure valves,
they will take violent actions.
This is not to promote violent revolution, it's to try to avoid violent revolution.
need your postings to include analysis alert. Yeah, Abdul El Sayed, are you going to condemn
your buddy's call for a violent revolution? Yeah, I don't think Abdul El Sayed is going
to call out JFK. I don't think, I don't think he's gonna, Abdul El Sayed, do you condemn
JFK. Don't you think JFK is Hamas? They hate the messenger, but you're the boy who
cried wolf, but it was a wolf getting closer and closer and closer and never that it wasn't
coming in my honest opinion. Yeah, Graham Plattner says, just ignore the court ruling.
I'm old enough to remember when Republicans in Ohio just ignored court rulings repeatedly
and did it anyway? Yeah. And I think they should, by the way, I agree, which by the
way, VA Dems are not. They're saying we respect the decision of the Supreme Court of Virginia.
I don't respect it. Okay. Fuck it. Ball. Fuck it. We play ball. What are we doing? Why did
you even do this to begin with? If you're not going to fucking push for it, like these
These guys are shaking up the system on a daily basis.
You have to shake it back in order to defend your constituents, in order to defend democracy.
This is something that I have talked about quite frequently, okay?
Democrats in an effort to consistently point back to the institutions and their infallibility,
keep giving in to the Republicans who are destroying said institutions.
the shimmer of Sompiger calls, violent revolution inevitable after Supreme Court throws out
Democrat redistricting map that would have given the party a 10-1 house advantage. Get
the full story.
It's just, it's so insincere and I personally don't give a shit, you know? It's so unbelievably
insincere. No matter what happens. Hasan, if you leave the cake in the oven for too
long you will burn it. Them how dare you suggest we burn the cake. Yeah.
Randy Fine is adding director cash. Democrat leading spokesperson and Muslim terrorist
Hassan Piker is calling for violence in the aftermath of the core ruling striking down
to illegal J.R. Manor and Virginia Democrats have made Muslim terror violence a core part
of their party.
I loved that the moderate Democratic wing, by the way, is like pretty much right there
with Randy Fine. Like they won't say, they haven't resorted to calling me a radical Muslim
terrorist. But, you know, they certainly don't have an issue with it yet. Quoting JFK is
terrorism. Quoting JFK, quoting JFK is terrorism. Great. All right, I guess I'm going to fucking
prison. What, what am I supposed to do? What kind of an idiotic country do we fucking live
in. And this was a very salient take, okay, and I totally agree with it.
When I say the country is institutionally rigged for Republicans, I'm talking about how Virginia
gets their maps struck down after a two-year process involving multiple legislative sessions
and a statewide referendum, but Tennessee can just decide not to enfranchise Memphis anymore.
And that's literally what's fucking going on here.
It is so frustrating.
So that's our top story for today.
Let's get right into it.
I struck down a new Congress.
Democrats are taking a significant blow from the Virginia Supreme Court in the aftermath
of this referendum that took place to redraw these maps.
10 last 10 days in redistricting Kala's decision significantly weakens the voting rights act
Opening the door for more redraws Tennessee Republicans passed 9-0 congressional map L.A. on track to eliminate at least one dem seat
VA Supreme Court overturns Dems 10-1 map. I mean, it's so obvious what's going on
These judges are basically playing politics, but they're wearing a fucking robe while doing it. How do you not see it?
it. How can you not see exactly what's going on? No, LA is Louisiana, chat. Louisiana is
on track to eliminate at least one dem seat. They're politicians in robes. They're nakedly
partisan.
I got to pee.
I got to pee.
Democrats have proposed a new map with the hopes of flipping four Republican-held House
and this is the latest battle in what's become this nationwide redistricting war.
CNN's or Let's Signs is here in this situation, but this is a big blow to Democrats.
Yeah, it really is. Democrats have been hoping to shore up their efforts to try to reclaim the majority,
but this ruling from Virginia State Supreme Court is a significant derailment of those Democratic plans.
Now, the Virginia State Supreme Court ruled that the creation of this referendum that happened last month
the state's constitution.
Our team is still reading through this opinion, but this certainly will be a major setback
for Democrats going forward.
Democrats had drawn this map hoping to create an additional four seats for Democrats in next
year's Congress.
They had kind of sliced up the more Democratic suburban areas of the Washington, DC area
to make these districts that pinwheeled out into more rural areas.
now for the time being, this is prevented from going forward. This is made even more complicated
by the fact that we have seen so many Republican states swiftly moving over the last week to
redraw their maps. We've seen Florida and Tennessee pass measures to try to or to draw their maps
and gain more Republican seats. There are other efforts underway in Louisiana, Alabama, and
South Carolina as well. And so that really can potentially shift the way that some of these
these house races are going to look heading into November.
You know, Democrats are really hoping that they can reclaim the majority.
They feel that they have a lot of the political, economic headwinds are working in their favor.
But certainly this is a major setback in this redistricting race.
We've seen states across the country, Republican and Democrats, trying to redraw their congressional
maps to more seats, to acquire more seats in what's going to be a very close midterm election.
you're seeing a difference in how some of the states are doing it like in
Virginia it was the voters right who voted for the redistricting in other
states you're seeing the legislature take the reins and do it themselves right
and that's one thing the Democrats have tried to argue is different from what
they are doing compared to what some of these Republican states have been doing
we saw California and Virginia come out with referendums where they're the
The system is unbelievably favored for Republicans to continue leaning into white supremacist
values and disenfranchise certain groups of voters, specifically black voters that end
up voting for the Democratic Party.
Okay, this is not new.
This is literally the history of the civil rights struggle.
This is why the Voting Rights Act had to be passed to begin with, it doesn't make any
fucking sense that we're even having this conversation.
We knew that this was going to happen.
And that was literally the GOP's assessment from the start where they were like, oh, well,
there's no need for this anymore.
Right?
There's no need.
There's no need for any sort of checks, any sort of safeguard measures that will ensure
that there is democratic participation and black voices will be heard in the South.
Brother, there was a war that was fought to disenfranchise black people or continue their
disenfranchisement, continue their slavery as a matter of fact.
And there was plenty of wars that were waged to ensure that that disenfranchisement continued
in the South especially.
The idea that the Republicans would play ball and they would be nice if there was no such
rules, stopping them from doing this is totally ridiculous.
Obviously, the Tennessee Republicans are using the new VRA decision coming down from the
Supreme Court to their advantage to say, no, no, no, this is a nakedly partisan thing.
No, it's not a nakedly partisan thing.
Okay, you're not redistricting specifically in a nakedly partisan manner. You're redistricting
to disenfranchised black voters. Okay, that's it. It's very clear what's going on.
Our voters had to decide if they- And this is the Tennessee side of the conversation. I'm not
talking about Virginia in this circumstance. But those two things are tied to one another,
the Supreme Court decision that undermine the voting, the VRA, is exactly what is tied to the
same thing that took place in Virginia. If Democrats want to combat the Republican redistricting in
Texas, they have to go through this long and convoluted process, right? They even leave it
up to the voters. They put out a referendum. And the people of Virginia vote, the people of Virginia
vote for that redistricting and then they they redraw the maps okay and then the Virginia
Supreme Court goes nah sorry doesn't work that way what the fuck do you mean it doesn't work
that way none of you guys none of you guys were were uh had a significant say in this like the
people voted you're denying the wishes of three million people in Virginia what the fuck are you
talking about? Yeah, I think the Democrats should simply ignore the Supreme Court ruling.
I agree. This is not Canada. We uphold the Constitution and Supreme Court rulings here.
No, you don't. Sarah Longwell replied, instead of violent
revolution, maybe we can persuade a lot more people to vote Democrat. The republic is worth
to try. Oh my god. Oh my god. One, I'm not advocating for a violent revolution. But let
me tell you, between you and I, I think you're the one who's leaning further into that direction.
You're making it inevitable. You're advocating for the inevitability of that with this kind
of sentiment. Oh, come on, just vote harder. The fuck do you mean just vote harder? They
did vote! This is a denial of their vote! That's the conversation we're having. People
fucking voted super hard what do you do when people vote and then the supreme court turns
This is a run that says, sucks to suck.
Oh.
actually want to move this forward. And this was a very close race that happened just a
little over two weeks ago. I think that this passed by about three percentage points. So
it's something that Virginia voters were very torn up about, but had decided to move forward
with. But then we have seen more Republican-led states really turn and try to just do this
through their state legislators, with Texas being the state.
By the way, this is a test, okay?
This is an expansion of the permission structure.
We cannot permit them to do this.
We have to fight back.
Like what's to stop if they can overturn the democratic process in Virginia by way of the
Supreme Court of Virginia?
What's to stop them from trying this in other states?
to stop them from doing this at the federal level. Hello, do you guys not understand what
the fuck's going on? Like, okay, fuck it. Let's just let them overturn elections. And
then when they do, like they did here, right? When they overturn the election, we'll just
go, well, sucks to suck. We'll get him next time. We'll just vote harder next time. Okay.
And then they overturn that. What do we do? Vote even extra hard. Is that what we're
going to do? What happens when voting doesn't matter? Because that's where we're at right
now. The problem is they control the justice department so they can do whatever they can
do it like we're awesome when we try to do it. They're like we're prosecuting. I know
they're already doing that. They're doing that to Louise in Virginia who was spearheading
the effort. She was spearheading the redistricting effort and they literally sent the goons from
the DOJ to prosecute her. What are we doing? What are we doing? We're living, we are living
through fascism right now, and people are just oblivious to this reality, okay?
It's in the middle stages, it hasn't been completely finalized as a fucking fascist project.
But we have to do something about it.
Like the reason why these redistricting battles are taking place, because Trump is unpopular
and he knows it, okay?
He knows he's gonna lose the House of Representatives and possibly the Senate too.
doesn't want the people's democratic will to be recognized. That's why they're redistricting.
They're playing the fucking board because they don't have the numbers and people are
out here going, just vote harder next time. Be careful they will come for you next. Man,
I know that. What the fuck do you mean? I know that. I know that already. And by the
way, come for you next. They're already coming for me. What have you been paying attention
to the news for like the last three months? It's been nonstop. Dem response, the VA court
decision is telling people to turn out and vote, even though they just did that and it
didn't work.
Do you think the courts are gonna overturn the midterm results?
They might as well, if we let them, yes, yes, actually, yes.
They just did, they overturned a referendum.
A referendum is an act of direct democracy, okay?
It is the most participatory democratic process that you can engage in.
It's very, it's black and white, okay?
It is more of a direct act of democracy than even voting for a representative, okay?
It's the most basic form of direct democracy you can have.
It's the most democratic process.
And the Virginia Supreme Court was like, nope.
No reason not to redroxia to be 520, 100%, 100%.
Look, if this game is busted, but there are more Democrats in general around the country
or more people who want to vote against the Republicans in this country, let's not say
more Democrats, right? But people that want to punish the current administration, they
want their voice to be heard. This is what you gotta do.
Florida changed their maps in like three days. Why does it take so long for the Dems to do
it? Because the Democratic Party is so used to being the conciliatory party, the party
that does concessions to the Republicans, that they have, they just, they don't have
a dog, they don't have the dog in them. It's that simple. Why do you think I'm going around
the fucking country trying to elect people who will fight?
Because by and large, there are Democrats out there that genuinely want to fight back.
They're not my ideological allies in any way, shape, or form. What you think a Democratic
state legislator from the state of Virginia, who is a fan of me or even a fan of the things
I say.
No, of course not, but it doesn't matter because anyone that recognizes the danger, okay?
The president pro tempore of the Senate of Virginia, representing the 18th district,
Louise Lucas, okay?
Do you think Louise Lucas and I see the world in the same way?
Do you think out of ten issues, do you think Louise and I agree on nine of them?
No, but we agree on the one thing, and that is that we have to fight back against the
fascist Republican Party, and that's the one issue that fucking matters, okay?
That's it. I don't have an issue. If the Democrats are going to put up a strong fight, a strong
opposition, I'm there with them. I'm by their side. I'll be their biggest, loudest champion.
That's it. I don't give a shit if we don't agree on any of the other stuff. This is an
unbelievably important, if not the most important problem right now. So many people refuse
to recognize that. So many people refuse to reckon with that, okay? Maybe even some to
my left refuse to reckon with that, where they're like, oh, well, this is a bourgeois
democracy. Why are you even participating in the electoral process? Well, there's a
reason for why I'm participating in it, because we don't have the revolutionary fervor. We
don't have the organizational capacity at this moment. We don't even have the class consciousness
where people actually recognizes their working class.
And I don't want this country to turn into a full-blown fascist autocracy.
And we're already in the middle stages of that transition right now, and people seemingly
don't realize it.
A great example of that fascist autocracy taking shape is the fact that the FBI raided
the office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L. Luis Lucas.
This comes weeks after she spearheaded a redistricting effort in Virginia, netting
up the four new blue seeds.
Another one.
A clip of Jackson Henkel saying your strategy worked on him.
Jackson Henkel admits his eyes were opened by Bernie Sanders.
Henkel expressed his state for a Sompiger strategy of trying to induce class consciousness
into liberals through social dems when he himself was first introduced to socialism by Bernie
Sanders.
He opened my eyes.
your average social dem. I mean, he's a liberal Democrat. I don't even know what social Democrat
means anymore. He's not what we want, but I think he opens the eyes of many liberals who have never
heard the word socialism using a positive context. Well, you know, yeah, yeah, he did, right? He
opened my eyes. But then my eyes were really not open. My eyes were only open when I realized that,
Oh, that's not socialism at all.
Anyway, probably not the best example, but these are some of the people, like spearheading the
anti-Hassan movement on my left flank, or at least they claim to be on my left flank,
which I don't think they are. Okay, I've noticed a sickening trend,
men who themselves are against or support others who are against Medicare for all
affordable housing, voting rights, freedom of speech, equal rights overall, are either sex
traffickers, pedos, rapists, indichop pornography, or other some of sexual predator. I need someone
smarter to, yeah, I have, I have seen this too. I just love puzzles is right.
The real vote, the real dark general commander, Jay Jones, Virginia attorney general Jay Jones,
the OG liberal driller, released a statement on the Supreme Court of Virginia striking down
10D1 on our congressional map. Today, the Supreme Court of Virginia has chosen to put politics
over the rule of law by issuing a ruling that overturns the April 21st special election on
redistricting. This decision silences the voice of millions of Virginians who cast their bows
in every corner of the Commonwealth, and it fuels the growing fears across our nation
about the state of our democracy. That's my goat. J. Jones is the dark woke general, okay?
Okay? If you guys remember, he was saying in his private correspondence, some crazy things,
and then guess what? Guess what? The people of Virginia were like, that's my guy. Okay?
My team is carefully reviewing this unprecedented order, and we are evaluating every legal pathway
forward to defend the will of the people and protect the integrity of Virginia's elections.
them. Jay, arrest these charlatans who are playing partisan politics while they wear
those robes and you will be reincarnated as a lotus flower. Jay Jones, do it. Do what
must be done, Jay. Do what must be done. Okay. Impeach these judges. Arrest them. Do what
What must be done, Jay?
That's my goat!
Comrade Jones will seize victory once again.
That's the really only choice.
I checked the VA constitution of their Supreme Court rules on their own impeachments.
Anyway, can the ruling be appealed?
Uh, no, I don't, I don't think so.
It's so surreal watching you address a photo of a dude I went to middle school with,
but it's amazing too.
I mean, listen, I'm a fan.
Okay.
I love J Jones.
You guys know this.
Yeah. The only way that it can get appealed is obviously the Supreme Court of the United
States. And we all know that's not going to happen. Okay. Not this Supreme court. Maybe
they can ignore it though. And then, uh, you know, see where it goes from that point on.
I mean, obviously the administration will try to take strong authoritarian action against
that sort of thing. But the reality of the matter is sometimes you have to fight these
battles, okay?
That really kicked off this whole redistricting battle last summer.
It's a huge loss for Democrats who spent tens of millions of dollars persuading Virginia
voters to approve the new map.
And it comes one day after Tennessee's governor signed into law a new Republican gerrymander
that breaks up the only majority black district in the state.
Louisiana, Alabama, and South Carolina may soon pass their own last-minute maps.
So here's where that leaves the redistricting wars nationwide right now.
Republicans have targeted 14 extra seats.
could pick up six. Theoretically, it would be an eight-seat GOP advantage, but here's
an important caveat. Just because the seat is redrawn by Republicans or even Democrats
doesn't mean it automatically goes that way, especially in a year like this one.
Yeah, I'm going to be honest. I think that's also bullshit. Okay. No. Like, there's a much
higher likelihood. There's a much higher likelihood. That's the reason why they're stopping it.
Like the idea that we can just like go to, I don't know, like a fucking R plus 20 district,
for example, and like flip it with enough momentum is I think silly.
And also, and also there's already a lot of initiatives that are set in place set in motion
to stop that from happening anyway.
Okay.
We're talking about turnout in midterms, but even then, like let's say you boost turnout.
Okay, what happens when they overturn those results?
When will people go, okay, enough is enough.
I'm joined by a terrific group of reporters here at the table.
The president did not waste much time crowing about this Supreme Court decision in Virginia.
He said huge win for the Republican Party and huge win for the Republican Party in America
and Virginia.
Wow.
Wow.
He's not even shying away.
The America in Virginia, the Virginia Supreme Court has just struck down the Democrats horrible
gerrymander, make America great again.
If you talk to Democrats privately, they don't disagree with what the president just said.
It is a big loss.
one senior Democratic official who I was texting with as I saw this report told
me not good a major upset in our bid to win the House back though we still can
prevail but the Hill just got a little steeper Isaac. Yeah another Democratic
operative working on House raises this year said to me look 1.6 million
people cast their vote and decided a very very specific thing and four
unelected judges just said piss off I mean that is the feeling among Democrats
now, a real stinging defeat here. They thought that they would be getting this advantage
in a bunch of these house districts in Virginia. Now they won't be. And there is not a lot
of time left to get seats anywhere else, even as Republican-led states are moving, as you
point out in that map, to try to get a couple more seats for them. This is, it is up to
the people to vote, but this is very much a case of the politicians choosing the voters
is before the voters choose the politicians.
Which, again, we should underscore, everybody is doing.
Yeah, for sure.
And it started the mid-decade push to do this,
started at the White House with President Trump.
It's interesting, just with this Virginia decision,
James Blair, the president's top political advisor
right now was sitting where you're sitting,
Nia, last week or the week before,
and he was really leaning into the notion
that Virginia would strike this down.
Yeah, yeah, and that's exactly what happened.
I've been texting with folks, and they're saying,
and these are folks at the D-Trip saying,
yes, this is a setback, but they feel like they're,
roughly, they were trying to get four additional seats.
Probably two of those they probably can get,
particular if it's a wave.
Could be a bad year for them all, yeah.
It could be a bad year, but listen,
this is a big blow, Hikim Jeffries.
I basically wrote a column that was like,
this was great for Hikim Jeffries,
because he was all in on it.
$38 million spent from a group affiliated with him.
Obama was in on this.
And now this is a big defeat.
And one of the reasons why Virginia was so important
as well, because there were, Democrats
were anticipating this Supreme Court decision, which
is also going to have massive effects.
So they felt like they've got this sort of trench of four
seats.
And now, of course, that's gone.
Again, they're still hopeful that they can maybe
get one or two of these seats, but it has been a big, big waste of money.
You know, they'll have to pivot maybe to 2028, because this was a procedural decision.
It looks like voters, at least by a small margin, wanted these maps, but they're going
to have to wait at least two years to get these maps.
So we're reporting what Democrats are telling us privately.
Here's the public messaging in light of this defeat in Virginia, just for example, Gavin
Newsom.
No vote in Tennessee, no vote in Florida, no vote in Missouri, North Carolina, Texas.
This is the key.
Virginia's voter-approved maps thrown out, MAGA has rigged this system.
I mean, another way to win the election is to motivate people to come out and vote.
That's exactly what that message is trying to do here.
I would just note, like, when it comes to Congress itself and how it functions, the
impact that this is going to have could be really extreme.
what you're starting to see is that middling those districts that are hard
fought those make good members those make members who make our job really
interesting because they sometimes will cross the aisle and vote with the other
party because they feel like that's what they need to do to stay competitive the
fewer of those districts you have the less and less likely pro what the fuck
Do they not see that this is in the backdrop of a vote that took place, that is currently
overturned?
Am I being too crazy about this?
Maybe I am.
Maybe they know something I don't.
But it does shock me that without skipping a beat, CNN is like, oh, did the Supreme Court
of Virginia overturn the votes of millions of Virginians?
Well, you know the solution to that.
It's to go out and vote harder.
Like, what do you mean?
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
What are we talking about?
like how hard what is the how hard are we voting here like what's the do you mean something different
like what are we talking about here
you should vote but then they pack it r plus 20 it would take an active god to win there that's
what I mean the whole point is what is this do you see this as a publication
calling you out for being in shycos rally use the legendary photo of you I
fucking the food
messed up
P.O.V. you vote extra hard.
Play that funky music, white boy.
Play that funky music, white boy.
Yeah, Malcolm X holding ballot by any votes necessary. Exactly. No, this is, this is famous.
This is the famous photo, this is the famous photo of Malcolm X doing what must be done,
which is, you know, by any votes necessary, voting extra hard, okay?
This is, this is, this is what it is.
This is what's going on.
CNN is basically going to route a VA voters hate this one Supreme Court life hack soy
phase.
I like that the solution to the Supreme Court overturning the democratic wishes of the majority
is to just vote harder.
So what then, what happens when they still overturn those wishes as well, if it even
happens, it's probably not going to.
The entire purpose of redistricting is specifically so that it's virtually impossible for your
voice to be heard, right?
That's the whole goal here.
And in an effort to combat against the national battle for redistricting taking place, because
Donald Trump is unbelievably unpopular and knows he's gonna lose the fucking house of
representatives.
He's urged Texas, the Texas Republican Party to redistrict in Texas to secure additional
Republican votes by way of cheating.
So then the Democrats were like two can play that game, except we are Democrats, so we're
gonna play that game in the most like, in the most above board legally sound way possible,
which is by referendum.
And we're not even gonna do that permanently. We're just gonna do that until the next census
that takes place. Cuz remember, Democrats love putting these limitations on themselves
ahead of time. They do everything above board, as they did in the state of Virginia. And they
still were like, they still were like, no, the wishes of the majority are totally secondary.
It is that people work together, that people cross the aisle, that it matters that the margins
are close. If everybody's in lockstep, that becomes a huge question of Congress's ability
to do anything.
And also it feels like what we are getting into here is redistricting used to be something
that happened once every 10 years. And now it seems like we're headed to at least the
next bunch of years where it might be happening every two years in a bunch of states. And
that changes all the way this goes.
Yeah, I just want to like underscore what you're saying because it's so important that
you say extreme. I say bad.
acting like they're being sincere. My man, their job is normalizing any illegal and unconventional
action and subverting the attention from how this shouldn't be possible. Yeah. No, it's
totally ridiculous. It's always when they go low, we go high, always. That's the democratic
method. It's always a democratic method. When they go low, we go high, and they just keep
going lower and lower and they keep slicing our fucking ankles every step of the goddamn way
they've just they they keep dunking on us what are we doing just bad this is bad for America
to have so few already have so few of those sort of moderate either Democrats or Republicans in
Congress and it's not even just that it makes your job interesting, it also helps make compromise,
which is kind of the way it's supposed to work. Let's just kind of take a step back for one second
and our friends over at the hotline at the National Journal put into perspective, not just
Virginia, but what we've seen, which is why it makes it so bad for Democrats on redistricting over
over the last 10 days, Calais, the Supreme Court decision significantly weakened the
Voting Rights Act, opening the door for more redraws than Tennessee Republicans past the
nine to zero congressional map.
Louisiana is now on track to eliminate at least one Democratic seat.
And then of course, we just saw.
I mean, this is such a sad state of affairs, but this is probably correct.
Three-way parlay.
Democrats win the popular vote 56 to 44 in the midterms.
up with a six seat majority in the house, and then four of them die within six months.
Or Democrats win the popular vote, 56% of 44 in the midterms, and end up with like maybe
one majority seat in the house, given all the redistricting initiatives, and then four
of them die within six months, giving the majority back to the Republicans somehow.
Because like right now we're looking at a new calculation in the Senate, right?
You got Abdul, you got Platner, Abdul in Michigan and Platner in Maine, except there's one guy
who has been caucusing with the Republicans in the Senate quite a bit.
John Fetterman. So like, even when you lose, you still, even when you win, you still lose.
Welcome to being a fucking Democrat, dude. And then people yell at me when I say this
can't go on. Okay. I don't want fascism to win in this fucking country, but it's winning.
So goddamn hard is doing victory laps. Okay. They're pissing on the carcass of American
Democracy please can we fucking fight back against it and the Democrats are too busy yelling at me the fucking twitch streamer
Rather than doing something about the goddamn fascists
Yeah, if it's 51 49 federal move 100% sweet size to give the majority the reps again, yes
What happened in Virginia and just to sort of continue to pick up on your point, I want
to listen to the state Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey from your home state of South
Carolina.
There's going to be another Democratic president at some point.
I hope that's not the case, but it's going to happen and it is important I think that
that there's somebody, somebody from South Carolina can make a call and somebody at the
White House will answer it.
Make sure the map accomplishes the goal.
If the end of the day we create a map that gives Democrats more competitive opportunity,
what have you gained?
Like, this is not even about representing the wishes of the public at this point.
It's like pure partisan politics.
they've already redistricted so fucking hard.
Okay.
They've already redistricted so hard
that they might end up carving out seats
that are more competitive.
Like that's where we're at.
Okay.
That's where we're at currently in American democracy.
It's so funny.
They're like, we've disenfranchised voters too hard.
So much so that we might infranchise voters
by accident. We can't do that. That's an interesting point from the South Carolina guy. If you
actually care about your state, it's good to have someone in the governing coalition,
no matter what party's in charge, but they don't really care about their state. No,
of course not.
Translation, there's trepidation in South Carolina to take advantage of the Supreme
Court ruling like other. Again, they're not worried. Guys, you need to understand they've
We've already successfully disenfranchised voters so hard in South Carolina that they're
now saying we might be disenfranchising so badly that it ends up creating competitive
districts where democratic wishes could be heard.
Like they're too, they are possibly going to be victims of their own success.
That's the calculation here.
It's incredible.
What is this?
I unironically asked one of my Chinese friends, what his opinion on the culture of evolution
was and he said his grandfather deserved to die.
What the fuck?
a big much, don't you think? He said, he said, my grandfather was a rightist who participated
in counter revolutionary behavior. So it was good that he's gone is crazy.
That's crazy. That's a crazy take. I, I don't know if I guess supports that sentiment.
Yeah. Listen, cause what you would probably have in South Carolina is no black representation,
right? You would have a seven, you know, seven, seven Republicans, uh, Clyburn, can you explain
the South Carolina thing more? I don't get it. South Carolina is already fucking redistricted
into oblivion. A big part of the process is chopping up these districts in a way where
the reliable Democratic party voters, more often than not, Black voters, right? Because
that's the only vehicle for change that they have to have their voices be heard, where they're,
like Black voters all around the country and especially in the South,
are making a calculated decision to vote for the less racist party, okay? That's it. Everybody knows
it, that's the whole point, right? The party that has, at the very least, expended social
and political capital in the past, at this point, many decades ago, to actually allow
black people to vote, for example, right? So they still remember that, and they're making
this decision where it's like, well, both parties are pretty fucking racist, but I'm gonna go vote
for the party that isn't actively saying we need to go to prison and we need to be killed, okay?
Okay? But for the Republicans, that's too much of a threat. So what they're doing is
trying to roll back the clock on civil rights in this country, and they have successfully
done so, right? By way of lawfare, by way of the court system, and certainly through the
process of redistricting, where they take highly, heavily populated areas where there's
a lot of black voter density, and they chop them up and they slam them into other districts
where they will be overpowered by the reliable Republican votes.
And that's what they're doing.
That's what redistricting is.
True, although as a black person, it's all over the country, even where we sometimes
choose to live, it's dependent on whether it's less race than the other town next to
it.
No, absolutely.
And basically, there's only so many ways that you can chop these districts up.
And at some point, you have to make the calculation because there's too many black people, from
the perspective of the Republican Party, where are you going to chop it up in a way where
you have like a bunch of plus 10R districts?
Or are you going to chop up these decisions even further, where you maybe have some R+,
like, cuz currently, let's say you have a bunch of safe, reliable Republican districts
where you have successfully disenfranchised the black vote, okay?
But that means you have to have one big black district, right?
That is going to be reliably voting Democrat.
I already gave you the reasons as to why the black vote goes in the democratic party's
direction.
So now we're moving on from that.
Now I'm giving you the second point.
So there's always one, there's always one district that's like putting up Assad numbers
for the Democrats, right?
And a lot of these Republican states and a lot of these red states, that's because they
They have to cordon off all the black votes into one district.
And then chop up the rest of the black voters in the South into reliably Republican districts.
Now what the South Carolina gerrymander is seemingly trying to do is to move some of
these districts around in an effort to, instead of having like, you know, a bunch of plus
10R districts and then one plus 40 blue district. They are trying to chop it up in a way where
they can have only plus four plus five Republican districts. This creates a unique problem for them.
If they don't, race is joke, dude. Wait, what do you mean? What's the race is joke? What?
What is, what are you talking about?
People don't realize quite how racially polarized the South is. South Carolina isn't even the worst, but why South Carolina is a Trump plus 46 and a Trump plus 8 state?
Yeah.
So basically,
then why not defend it on the basis of Republican pop versus dem pop? Otherwise, it sounds like identity politics.
Brother, because there were previously rules in the rule books to stop it on the basis
of black voter disenfranchisement specifically, because it was done initially and still to
this day to disenfranchise black voters.
It might hurt people's feelings to think of this as id-paul, okay?
But that's literally what the Republicans are doing, okay?
It is identity politics when the Republicans engage in anti-black politics.
But because that's the overwhelming domineering attitude that people have, anti-blackness
being a core value in American politics in general, people don't see that as identity
politics.
They only see the retort to that as identity politics.
A similar concept exists in even the gaming sphere.
Maybe I'll give you an analogy that you can understand.
It's not politics if there is a, you know, there's a white guy, that's the main character
doing a bunch of political shit. It's only political if there's a black woman, right?
That's what gamers are tuned into, because the norm, the default is a white guy. So if
you actually don't have a default white guy and you have a black woman or something as
the main character, all of a sudden it becomes political. It's like, whoa, what is this?
Call of duty didn't used to be political. Why are you making call of duty political by putting
a black woman. That's identity politics. No, it's still identity politics. If the default
position is a white guy, that's still identity politics, is white identity politics. But we
We just see that as a political, we see that as non-political.
You get it?
Robert Reich is a better explanation.
He explains it in 30 seconds.
Here.
16 black dots and 12 white squares. If districts were not gerrymandered, they might look like this.
And three out of four would have black dot majorities.
But after gerrymandering, three out of four have white square majorities.
Yeah. So, now they're trying to game it out. You see how there's the one, one super majority
black dot district here, okay? South Carolina has a problem. They're trying to parse this
up in a way. They're trying to piece up the one black majority district into all of these
other districts, but they simply don't have enough votes, okay?
That's their worry, where they're like, okay, we want to eradicate the last like, the last
black dot district that we have and, and, uh, it coordinated off in a way where, you know,
it just, it just perishes, uh, in an effort to disenfranchise the voters there and their needs.
But that creates a unique problem where all of a sudden, uh, the, the, the margins are far too
narrow for every other district. That's the reason why they're, uh, the South Carolina, uh,
politicians are worried about potentially redistricting the state, because they've
already done such a good job of disenfranchising the black vote that if they disenfranchise
it further, it might end up making more competitive districts. This is the same in Florida. Okay?
It's the same as South Carolina. That's the only thing stopping them from doing this.
Not in Congress. He's got the six districts. So yeah, there is this is a pendulum swing, right?
And the idea is that, you know, every action often has an equal and opposite reaction.
And are we going to get into the situation where, as you said, every two years, there is some different map.
And it sews, I think, distrust and disengagement among voters, right?
particularly in some of these states where it isn't even the voters that are making the decision.
Yeah, the problem is the Republicans have already racism-maxed, okay? And if they try to racism-max
a little bit, they end up fucking up the min-maxing and ironically create a voting system where they
might lose seats. That's their fear. Visions. It is elected leaders of one party. And so this,
I think has set off a real arms race where we could see a house that doesn't really represent America
I think we're already there, but
um, all right, so
The first story was virginia. Now we go to tennessee
Uh, this uh, that's what uh, this twitter user says the kkk is alive and well in tennessee
The sergeant of arms blocks representative justin pierce in who's goaded
from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents fucking shameful
Okay
So let's take a look at what's going on in Tennessee protesters are demonstrating against Tennessee redistricting that could give GOP an advantage
Now that's a very nice way to put it
What the GOP is doing is basically eradicating the last black
majority district in the state of Tennessee. They are just, they're just saying, nope, Tennessee's
all red. Fuck it.
They are giving their party a better chance to win every congressional seat in November.
They voted to eliminate the state's only black majority district on Thursday. Opponents
held a passion.
That's insane. Look at this. Look at this.
the state's only black majority district on it's ridiculous.
It's totally ridiculous. My district is fucked. I just don't even know what we're supposed
to do now in Memphis. Because remember when you lose political, when you lose that political
representation, your district no longer is going to get the funds necessary, for example.
Like you need to have someone represent your interest. Okay? So you have to remember like
even having one guy in that situation matters quite a bit. Okay? This is a huge problem with
Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico doesn't have the adequate representation, for example, and that's part of
the reason why Puerto Rico gets shafted all the goddamn times of territory. This is voter
disenfranchisement through and through. For the black voters in this state, they're only reliable
option here is, is a Memphis Thursday, opponents. Like we often forget, we often forget that
like, oh, these Southern, Southern states are so poor. They're so right wing. They fucking
suck. And it's like, there's heavy political polarization that it's taking shape in these
states that have a legacy of slavery. I have a legacy of disenfranchisement of black voters.
But that, but these days, just like California still has like a shit ton of Republicans,
There's a shit ton of Democrats, specifically black Democrats in these states, okay?
And we just never hear from them.
We never fund any institutions or fund any movements that will fight for them.
We just completely have given up.
Passionate demonstration.
They say this move punishes black voters.
Supporters those say the new maps are not driven by race.
Yeah, they can't say that it's driven by race, obviously, because it's still kind of illegal.
Okay. That's the only reason why they're like, no, no, no, no, this is purely partisan.
This is purely partisan. You can't prove it. I mean, in Tennessee, it's the one state where
you could technically prove it, because even motherfuckers will sometimes get a little too
active and say the quiet part out loud, for example, you know?
This fight is playing out chaos at the Tennessee Capitol in natural Thursday as democratic
lawmakers and protesters tried to stop legislation breaking up the state's only democratic house
seat yelling holding signs calling the move Jim Crow 2.0 even burning a printout of the
Confederate flag change follows the Supreme Court ruling last week that narrowed the
the Voting Rights Act.
CBS News election law analyst David Becker
says the ruling has this effect.
And in some cases, that's going to mean
that they blanch their entire state's delegation
and really minimize the impact of the minority population
in the state.
That's the concern for Democratic Congressman Shamari
figures in Montgomery, Alabama, where
a similar pending Supreme Court decision
could draw his majority black district off the map.
So what that translates into is this.
It's okay to discriminate against Democrats who are black,
but it's not okay to discriminate against black Democrats.
Doesn't make a lot of sense.
Alabama's Attorney General says it's just a question
of reflecting the state's Republican tilt.
Alabama's a conservative state.
I expect it will have conservative representatives.
Civil rights activist Doris Crenshaw,
who at 12 years old started working on civil rights issues
with Rosa Parks, was at an...
National was already one of the most egregious examples
of racial gerrymandering as shown by the 2022 redraw.
They followed the same method, immense it, Memphis. Yeah.
A masterclass in election rigging,
how Republicans dismembered a democratic stronghold, um,
scroll through our visual guide to see how Tennessee Republicans card up
Nashville to benefit themselves.
Republican lawmakers of Tennessee gave a final approval on Monday to an
aggressive plan to split Nashville, a democratic bastion,
and a deeply Rehogan state into several congressional districts as a part of an
effort to tilt the state's congressional map in their favor.
The plan is now waiting for approval from governor Billy,
who's like, we just sign it here. I'll give you an example of how this works, by the way.
This is exactly how when you have ballot measures, right, in places like Tennessee, where, um,
where I don't know, like there's overwhelming support for increasing the minimum wage and
shit, you, you end up getting, uh, you end up getting like 60% of the entire state to
vote to protect abortion, right? Or to increase the minimum wage for paid family leave, things
like that. You do all of this stuff, and people clearly have an appetite for it, but the representation
within the state does not make any sense. We're like, what do you mean? This is a state
that has 60% approval or is very clearly in favor of these unbelievably progressive ballot
measures.
And yet, some of those ballot measures never actually go through, even if people vote for
it.
Sometimes in the state legislature, you end up losing, or the state legislature will
actively work to undermine the democratic wishes of the public, and this is how it works.
I'm absolutely fuming over the VA decision. It's so fucking bad. The legal reasoning is absurd on its face. Yeah
This is how it happens
This is how they rigged the system so that the democratic wishes of the majority are never are never followed on
And this happens in fucking, you know
This happens everywhere. This happens especially in deep red states though
Democrats are going like pussies has got the end, I agree.
Nashville currently sits in the state's fifth congressional district represented by Jim
Cooper, a Democrat who has held the seat for nearly 20 years, a solid Democratic district.
Joe Biden carried it by nearly 24 points in 2020, but on Tuesday, Cooper announced he
was retiring from Congress.
Despite my strength of the polls, I could not stop the General Assembly from dismembering
Nashville.
No one really tried harder to keep our city whole, he said in a statement.
I explored every possible way, including lawsuits to stop the chairmandering and to
win one of the three new congressional districts that now divide Nashville. There's no way,
at least for me, in this election cycle, but there may be a path for other worthy candidates.
Here are the results of the 2020 presidential race in central Tennessee surrounding Nashville.
The circles represent the results by precinct, the bigger the circle, the bigger the margin
of victory for either Democrats or Republicans. This is Tennessee's fifth congressional district
currently represented by Democrat Joe Biden, won the district by 24 points in 2020. Republicans
have created new maps that split the Democratic voters in the three heavily GOP districts
where they're in the minority. Fox News is talking about you. Oh, great.
Before I get to you, I just want to throw it back to Malia. I have to tell you,
Malia, every young Democrat that I speak to, the energy is on Democratic socialism. To
Vita's point, I mean, she just talked about a communist with us on biker. But every young
Democrat talks about democratic socialism, not Roy Cooper.
Well, look, I can guarantee you that Hassan Piker will not be the Democratic nominee in
2028. But, um, yeah, look, there's certainly energy on the left. We saw that in Mom Donnie's win.
But I think you have to take a holistic look and you have people like Governor Cooper and Ossoff
and Westmore and Rob Sand and Mayor Pete all either winning elections or high up there in
in the polling when it comes to 2028.
So yes, there's energy on the left,
but I think our party is a big temp party
and you can also find moderates as well.
Okay, all right.
Janisha.
Hey, so thanks for having me Will.
So let's just talk about Westmore really quick.
I am not a member of the party of the left
and Westmore is definitely not a rising star.
This is the same guy who lied about where he's from.
I mean, is he from Baltimore?
Where is he from guys?
He doesn't even know he lied about his military background.
So I don't even Wes Moore is not good enough for these people.
Like that's crazy.
Okay, for his son to transition.
No, this is the same young boy that he was more is good enough for Patrick
bed.
David, guys, four years ago, whatever he had his son saying the Pledge of Allegiance.
So wait, let his son transition.
No, so they were looking at that.
They were looking at West versus.
He would let his son go through gender change changing surgery.
I can almost guarantee.
He would not take his kid in to say,
where are the puberty blockers?
But for everybody else, sure, if it means
he's pandering to the right crowd to rise politically.
But who are your rising stars, Janisha?
He, so my rising stars, I mean, again, I'm not from the left,
but if I had to choose someone from the left,
I would definitely say Senator John Fetterman.
I mean, this is a guy who is not
a great stand-up by himself and say that he believes
in strong borders, right?
He loves America.
rising stars and never going to party is a brain-diseased ogre and who is a Republican.
He's willing to go against the majority of his quote-unquote party.
So I think he's the rising star on the left for sure.
Alright, and each of our panelists also gave the rising stars of the right, it's fair to
say, it's pretty clear when it comes to the right, Evita, Janisha, and now it's JD Vance,
it's Marco Rubio.
The question is, who from the left will actually stand up to one of those guys in 2028?
Janisha, Aveda, and Mali, thanks so much for being with us.
Thank you.
Thank you for having me.
Alright, coming up.
De-naturalizations, they're coming.
The DOJ is seeking to strip U.S. citizenship.
Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ, dude.
I will leave the insurgency into the mounds of Appalachia is that ogre is president?
Anyway, let's get back to redistricting.
Republicans have created new maps to split the democratic voters into three heavily GOP
districts that were there in the minority.
This is the proposed fifth congressional district what Donald Trump would have carried by 12
points in 2020.
is the sixth district which Trump would have carried by 30 points in 2020. And this is the
seventh district which Trump would have carried by 15 points. These new lives would dismantle
a democratic district helping Republicans preserve their majority in the state. But sometimes you
run out of votes, okay? Under the old districts, there was a significant contra, a concentration
of voters of color in Nashville. But the new districts split those communities up, placing
facing them in districts that are overwhelmingly white, making it more difficult for their
voices to be heard.
Fox News, Asana is a communist, trans people are aliens, and Democrats are illegal aliens.
Oh, close presence, thank you for the 50 bones, I didn't see that.
So yeah, I mean, this is the energy we need.
Representative Justin Pearson is assaulted by law enforcement officer in Tennessee State
and rightfully gives him an earful.
I
Mean what are we doing? What the fuck are we doing here, man? What the fuck are we doing?
This is literally yeah, this is what Jim Crow looks like do not look away
Okay. Isn't it kind of Jim Crow we to allocate certain areas by race? Oh my God. Yes, it
is, dude. Yes. When you create racial disenfranchisement, the solution to that racial disenfranchisement
is also going to protect certain races. It's crazy. You started the problem, okay? Now you're
complaining that the solution is the real racism. I hate this shit. I hate this like
reverse racism as bullshit where people love doing this, where they're like, well, don't
you think that offering restitution to racial wounds that were created is just as racist
as the racial ones? No, it's not, actually. It's not at all, as a matter of fact. That's
the opposite, okay? Anti-racism is not racism. It's so fucking ridiculous.
Information session hosted by congressman figures Thursday night.
You've spent your entire life working for more representation.
And they may be on the verge of taking it away.
It does not sit well.
And students sit well with the people of good will in this country.
As of yet nothing in Alabama has changed.
The Supreme Court could issue a ruling allowing the state to redraw its map as early as today.
the day. Now that Tennessee has active nine Republican and Democratic controlled states
across the country have redrawn their maps, three more here in the deep south may do so
ahead of November's elections. Gail.
Okay, everybody's watching this one. Thank you very much.
These maps are racist tools of white supremacy at the behest of the most powerful white supremacists
in the United States of America, Donald J. Trump. Memphis is the most beautiful place
on the planet. It's the place that raised me, my brothers, my parents, my grandmothers
and where my ancestors bones rest. And what you are doing today is eviscerating the only
black majority congressional district in our state because we are majority black. This
is about attacking, targeting, and cracking District 9
into pieces for more political and racial dominance
and white supremacy in the state of Tennessee.
You put us on cotton plantations and tobacco plantations.
You denied our human rights and our right
to exist as children of God, and we are still here.
You destroyed Tulsa.
You killed and lynched black folks on poplar trees.
Shelby County, Tennessee at the most lynchings of anywhere in this state where you're taking
this district and we are still here. No matter how much you try and break us and make us
bend and make us quit, we will still be here.
But we're here today once again for a white-
I love Justin Jones, Justin Pearson are so goaded. They're dope.
A white sheets caucus meeting in which they're trying to disenfranchise people-
There's objectives and Jones. Once again, that, that is out of order. Do you know what?
Is it out of order? Didn't they literally find, uh, Clans robes in, in the, uh, where did they find it? Hold on.
Oh, it was in Mississippi. My, my mistake.
My mistake, I fucked it up.
Wait, no, is this it?
The Mississippi Department of Public Safety uncovers rare clans artifacts in one of its offices.
A notebook with meeting minutes and a ledger are among Ku Klux Klan-related items that
the Mississippi state government uncovered while clearing out an office.
I shouldn't even laugh, it's insane, but all the objects have been transferred to the Mississippi
Department of Archives and History, officials say will take months to process all the materials.
They were like, we found so many Klan-related.
We found so many clan-related artifacts, okay, that it will take months to dig in, okay?
That's how many.
Here's one of them.
Now, you might also, you might also see something interesting here.
Here's proof of the red pro bleep plot against South and USA.
The platform of the class struggle, national platform of the workers, communist party.
Notice some that the Klan was really against a certain ideology and a certain ideology
in the United States of America.
Historically, it was always in favor of racial emancipation.
I wonder if, I wonder if those things have changed at all.
Yeah.
But I thought that tanky lefty liberals were the anti black races.
Yeah.
Like not even two months ago,
they found a cash of Ku Klux Klan rogues and hoods and other paraphernalia at
the Mississippi department of public safety, just chilling in a closet.
It's not just dormant or an underlying thing.
It's very alive and well in these Southern States.
Yup.
The red scare in this country has always been a black scare too, okay?
Has always been the case.
No matter where you go, remember that.
While the revolutionary spirit might have been dampened in this country, in the black
liberation struggle too, in the black emancipatory movements as well, oftentimes by force, by
by assassinating leaders of black liberation
in this country that were self-avowed,
Marxist, Leninist and Maoist,
they were openly communist, right?
These movements have always existed.
And the spirit, in my opinion, still remains.
Yeah, like Kirk, like, yeah, Charlie Kirk.
That's who I'm talking about, Charlie Kirk, yeah.
Yeah, who can forget MLK's last words, counting or not getting gang violence, right?
that's ridiculous. He just died, man.
Fred Hampton.
Let's be a little serious, please. Anyway.
It's shameful, but we know that you all are going to fall in line behind this man here,
who's going to lead you down the path of racism and white supremacy.
It's wrong.
It's immoral.
And we say, do justice, love mercy, and walk home.
It fails for lack of emotion.
Is there anything Democrats can do about all of this in the short and medium term?
Yeah.
I mean, what we're watching right now is incredibly infuriating to watch in Tennessee.
They stayed with a significant black population just to carve up Memphis, one of the blackest
cities in America and ensure it has no democratic representation.
It's interiating and it's deflating.
And that's ultimately the goal, right?
The people who do gerrymandering and voter suppression want you to give up.
They want you to feel like your power is being taken away.
So that you stop using your power.
Like that's, that's the ultimate win here.
And so we obviously cannot let that happen.
And here are just like three things and none of these are satisfying.
We'd be specific.
None of them are satisfying.
But here are the things where we can focus our energy right now.
The first is we have to redouble our efforts to take the house and hopefully
the Senate in 2026. That is the foundation for the governing coalition that we will have
in 2029 with the Democratic president to actually pass things like a ban on partisan gerrymandering
to do real electoral reform to make our system more small the Democratic. The second thing,
and this is critically important, is we have to pour our time, our money, our resources into
state legislative races because there's going to be efforts to redraw the maps in 2028, in 2030.
What?
Chat being nasty about Charlie now is retracting from the direction we need to go. He had nasty views, but it's not for the point of the conversation. Wait, what?
Yeah, I wonder why a community such as this won't be nasty about one of the nastiest propagandists of the most toxic form of politics.
politics. What's even more discouraging is that even if the GOP loses in 2026, they need
to lose again in 2028. Yeah, I mean, Charlie Kirk was, you know, a polite face on the same
type of Klansman adjacent politics that we're literally talking about right now that is
very clearly a principal motivator of modern Republican party politics right now. Like
even the images harken back to that same exact time. So, I mean, they're doing it. They're
doing it out loud. They're doing it in your fucking face. I don't know what else to say
about it other than just look, look at what they're doing.
Meanwhile, yeah, the Trump administration is investigating an Atlantic reporter who wrote
a story about FBI Director Cash Patel suing the New York Times over its employment practices,
threatening ABC's broadcast licenses, and also Trump releases new counterterrorism strategy
with fresh focus on cartels and Antifa is from May 6th.
Some that can't clip his thighs been writing about extensively reporting on extensively,
Something that will inevitably probably throw my ass in fucking jail too.
Check logs.
Let's see, you're about to get busted.
Tennessee had the first grand...
Okay, never mind.
That's actually the first instance of check logs that isn't bad.
Tennessee had the first grand wizard of the KKK's bust in the state capitol until a few
years ago.
I'm I'm I have a weird feeling what am I weird for feeling off about we need to get Democrats
elected being the number one thing that people say I feel like I've heard we need to get
Democrats elected my entire life and it's done fuck all I mean that's not the end all
be all but it is definitely a significant part of especially good
democrats like especially people who are gonna fucking fight is a is part of the
problem is part of the process there's not really much else we can do like
this importantly in 2032 after the next census so we have to have as much power
as we possibly can to draw the maps in as many places even in case we can't take
majority if we can get close look all I'm saying is this if voting didn't matter the Republicans
wouldn't actively undermine the black voting block okay and just like that if any kind of insurgents
insurgency within the ranks of the Democratic Party didn't matter the Democrats wouldn't be
handshaking with the fucking reactionary forces in this country to actively undermine these
insurgent campaigns. If you can't comprehend it, if you can't see the vision, if you can't see the
methods, if you think that these are, this is simply entryism. If you think that this is simply
shepherding the revolutionary spirit back into the Democratic Party that's never going to actually
help you out, okay? Just look to what your opposition is doing. Because they clearly have a,
They clearly are fearful of this, right?
They clearly do worry about this.
That's why they're doing everything in their power to make sure that people like myself
are actively disparaged.
And the candidates that I align with are destroyed before they ever make it into the general
election.
The majority, we can have potentially an influence on how those maps are dropped.
This is absolutely important.
This is where the future of American democracy, the media would be on his own side of energy
even had a point, is going to be absent some sort of ban on partisan gerrymandering is
going to be decided in state legislative races and in governor's mansions for the, for the
map redraws.
And we're going to live in a cycle of perpetual map redraws.
The last thing here is we have to put pressure on the blue state.
Haven't grown up in rural Tennessee.
I don't think I would have been against it if I didn't find your commentary
in early adulthood.
So thank you.
And what you do matters in these places too.
No, absolutely.
Even my workers all speak like a damn presidency is it lock in 2020.
Now I'm going to reality.
It couldn't be further from a lock.
I know, I know, you know what I'm feeling right now.
I'm feeling the same sense of danger, immediate danger that I felt on like the
second day of the DNC where I was like, why are these guys fucking
doing victory laps right now. They're not winning shit. There's no guarantee that Kamala
Harris is going to win. What the fuck is going on? There's an environment of celebration
that doesn't make sense when you have a broader outlook on the way things are going in the
country. And the Republicans are twerking on the Dems. Yeah, I saw that. I mean, this
This is unbelievably gross.
Breaking the Virginia Supreme Court has voted to overturn the results of the state special
election.
The decision silences the voice of Virginia's who approved on an updated congressional map
that levels the playing field ahead of the midterms.
The fight continues.
And this is what the republic has posted.
This is what they feel about democracy.
This is what they feel about voters in Virginia.
I'm not sure if you're joking about getting imprisoned by this regime, but based on my
lived experience with authoritarianism, it's highly likely to happen to you.
You need to refine your writing.
It's the only way you might be able to get your words out in two years.
Yeah, well, it is what it is.
Some takes are way too grounded in thinking people are normal and reasonable and not cynical
enough.
I mean, at a certain point, it goes beyond naivete, right?
I think right now, anyone who's still talking about, anyone who doesn't recognize the dangers
that are imminent, the dangers that are taking shape all around us is, I mean, it goes beyond
naivete.
At this point, you have no, like, self-preservation skills.
where we have the ability to fight fire with fire, Illinois, Maryland, New York, in states
where we have control but where we have put in place because we like good government,
bands on gerrymandering like in Michigan, we have to put pressure on our politicians
to look for ways like they did in California, like they did in Virginia, to undo those bands,
to be able to compete here because we can't live in a world of unilateral disarmament and
we cannot accept any democratic politician that does.
Good evening and welcome to the BBC News.
I don't, it sucks, it's like, you have to be,
dude, I got it, man, I got it.
Please stop spamming the same article, okay?
I got it, it's right here, you see that?
The article that he keeps spamming
about how I'm gonna be public enemy number one is right there.
I know, I know already, I'm very aware, okay?
I promise you, I saw your, I saw your link,
I had clicked on it already.
I'm aware of it. I know, I know chatter. I'm going to be public enemy number one. I already am public enemy number one. Okay?
Please, please stop spamming it
Jesus Lord mercy
Oh my god, they're talking about Carney and ignoring Kirstar Merit so fucking funny how dumb they are
Yeah, I know
Center for American Progress, near attendance said Democrats can learn a lesson from Mark
Carney who moved his governing liberal party to the right on some issues in surging popularity.
I wonder if there was another external factor that greatly boosted Mark Carney's approvals.
Hmm.
Oh yeah, that's right.
It was us.
We did that.
Trump did that almost single-handedly as a matter of fact, okay?
the only reason. You got a major alarm, a clear-cut instance of one of the two major
parties moving to the right on all of these issues and tailing the Republicans or tailing
the conservative party and losing in a spectacular manner in London, a stand. Okay.
Meanwhile, the fucking dumb ass democratic consultants are like, Oh, but look at Mark
Carney. Look at Mark Carney successes. At a certain point, you have to recognize what
what they're doing is nothing but ideological zealotry, okay? These guys are the Islamic
clerics of neoliberalism. They're zealots. As a matter of fact, it's not even close because
even the council of clerics in Iran make decisions based on defending Iranian sovereignty, whereas
near a tendon and her kind in the consultant class that have dominated the democratic party's
national politics for decades at this point would rather go down with the ship. They would
rather keep plugging holes in the ship. That's where we're at. They say we are the radicals.
When I think I'm a much more pragmatic person than you're attended, I'm willing to defend
Democrats who do the right thing.
I don't think she is willing to defend the radical leftist coalition.
At the end of the day, the party is nothing to me, okay?
The party is just a collection of representatives, elected representatives, that are supposed
to represent the interests of the population.
At times when it matters if they fight back against the growth of fashion in this country,
I'm going to celebrate that.
I'm going to say that's a good thing, as I did in Virginia, but when that very same
Party turns around and says, ah, what are we going to do?
The Democratic wishes of the majority are irrelevant.
They're secondary to the, to the mercy of, of the Supreme court decision.
Then I'm going to say, fuck you.
Yeah.
The Democratic party is not a real ideological party.
Okay.
It's not a real party.
Doesn't have paid membership.
They're just a collection of corporate interests and they don't always have to be a collection
of corporate interests.
It's just a brand more than anything else.
A brand that unfortunately has moved away from its greatest successes during the FDR
era and onwards for like almost an entire century where it represented social democracy
for a very long time.
And during that period when the Democratic Party's brand was domineering, it was the
Republicans that consistently conceded to left populism.
Carter, and certainly after Ronald Reagan, there was a major shift in American politics
in the way that Americans perceive politics. Mostly taking positions opposite of Republicans,
more recently even just a slightly less unhinged version of Republican positions. No, that's
always been the case. That's what, back in the day, back in the day, post FDR, it was
Republicans that would take a less unhinged version of the whatever the Democratic Party's positions
were, okay? Now it's the Democrats taking a more moderate version of the Republican Party's positions,
tailing the Republican Party and fighting the wars that the Republicans want to fight.
American political parties aren't like they are in many other countries.
parties have bylaws, rules, paid memberships, militants, theorists, and cultural organizations in
America. Both parties are just labels, and their national org is only a fundraising arm. They have
no internal structure. The party is entirely dependent on who you put in it. Exactly. Now,
it's not entirely the case. Obviously, the Democrats have a primary system, and so do the
Republicans, where they try to actively undermine the wishes of the majority, or they do everything
in their power to to make sure that no one fucking no one is even participating in this.
Yeah, David Graber, I'm gonna bring back today for sure.
Unbelievably prescient, great thinker, rest in power to David Graber.
But yeah, I have a very pragmatic approach to this stuff because I understand that the Democrat
just is a way to get ballot access, okay? It's the surefire approach to getting your
name on the fucking ballot. As a brand, its brand is in the dumpster, okay? It's dookie,
certainly. But it has a much easier, it's basically, it has a free election machine
that turns out voters, okay? And not only that, but it is also a reliable way to get
your name on the ballot to get your ideas on the ballot. That's the reason why
Zoram Mammadan ran as a Democrat and not as a third-party socialist, not even as a
third party that is actually active in the in the city and state, the working
family's party, right? You have to use everything that you can to keep pushing this message,
to keep fomenting class consciousness, to organize to the best of your ability. Bernie
Sanders, independent, but most people recognize him as a Democrat because he caucuses overwhelmingly
with the Democrats. Yesterday's fit at the rally is teasing Indian fit. Please say you're
coming here to India. I don't have any plans in motion to visit India anytime soon, maybe.
Please say from Modi. Yeah, that's probably not gonna happen. All right, anyway, here is,
here is a party much like the Democratic Party that used to represent the left flank
of politics in the United Kingdom, losing everything as a direct consequence of leaning
into this moderate center, or even to the right, which predictably gave way to a massive
growth in this now dominant fascist movement in the country.
I'm of course talking about the Labour Representing Centre Left Politics in the UK, the Conservatives
Representing Centre Right Politics in the UK, and Reform that represents the far right.
Yesterday some elections took place in England, Scotland and Wales.
And boy oh boy were the results devastating for a Labour Party that actively destroyed
itself, because they were terrified of Jeremy Corbyn, where labor has lost more than 1,000
council seats, with reform picking up 1,222 council seats, and the Greens have had a pretty
tremendous victory in the process as well, and so have the liberal Democrats too, weirdly
enough, but the Greens have been doing a phenomenal job.
We released the BBC Projected National Share based off of the Council results reform at
26 percent, Green at 18 percent, Labor at 17 percent, Conservatives at 17 percent, with
Lib Dems at 16 percent.
A clear but far from overwhelming victory for reform with everyone else clustered in
a big lump behind them, ultimate fragmentation.
The Ancification Nouses changes his 2025 reform minus 4, Greens plus 7, Labour minus 3, Conservative
plus 2, Lib Dems minus 1.
Old people will destroy this country god I fucking hate the elderly dude.
reform party is literally all show too. Like if you were to go to the average reform voter,
because like England has class politics in its roots, like it's not like America where
people are oblivious to class. If you were to ask the average reform voter to spell out like some
top-line issues beyond immigration, beyond, you know, fucking up the boats lad, right? They would
would just look at you and be like, that's not true. There's no way the reform party
wants to do that. Okay? Like, there are so many people who were lifelong, reliable labor
voters at a time when they thought that the labor party, and not thought, but like the
labor party did represent the interests of the working class that now vote for the reform
party because racism is the only game in town. It's insane. Yes, I saw this. This is what
I was referencing here. Hilarious video that shows none of the reform voters know any of
reforms policies. Before I get to this, though, let's do a top line approach here, a little
bit of analysis, and then we'll get to all of that.
In 2006, Labour has suffered huge losses after millions of people went to the polls in England,
Wales and Scotland. The Labour Party is set for an historic defeat in Wales, losing control
of the Senate for the first time since devolution almost 30 years ago, with Plaid Cymru forecast
to win the most seats. In Scotland, the SNP will remain the largest party, but their vote
share is down in almost every constituency. It is Reform UK that has made some of the
biggest gains across Britain so far. The Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, has described
Labour's results as tough, but says he's not going to walk away from the job. Let me just
show you what has been happening in Wales, England and Scotland. This is Keir Starmer
literally is just like, Nope, I'm tanking this further. How far can we go? How far can
Can we take this?
First of all, here, buddy, you might not walk away from the job, but the job is going to
walk away from you.
That's number one.
I don't even know how he stays in power at this point.
I have no idea how he stays in power at this point.
He has to get fired, right?
no shot. I mean one of his most famous speeches is when he literally says to his
own party if you don't like it you can fucking leave and it turns out a lot of
people that were lifelong Labour Party members were like okay sure I am leaving
some of them left for reform many of them also left for the Green Party. I
I don't think he makes it out by the end of this year, but what do I know?
Wales, what has been a labor stronghold for more than a century, labor now pushed into
third place with plight-comery out front. In England, it is reform that has been surging.
These are the latest tally. They're reform now more than 1,000 seats. They started with
just two. Labor has lost.
Nigel Farage is a disgusting monster, through and through.
By the way, I have to talk about the media's role in all of this as well.
The media apps a fucking LUTELY played a major role here too.
Hey, just wanted to say that you gay, yeah, I fucked your dad, Chatter.
Yeah.
Yeah, mean your dad, butt sex.
He loved it.
He said, first time he's ever had a man dig deep inside of him like that.
Life changing experience for your dad.
Yep.
Crack like an egg.
Yep.
Then your mom walked in and she was like, my turn, please.
My grandma's watching what love is love man 2026
You should have brought this heat last night will go hard in SF
Anyway, you're wondering how we got here. The media definitely played a big role in this, too, is the is the labor's suicide.
side. It's a corporate interest that is the corporate interest and the power of the Israeli
lobby that certainly exists in the UK as well. Destroying labor from within, playing
a formative role with the same exact Oxbridge commentators that were defending their class
interest in the class interests of their friends who are in positions of power,
representing the capitalist class's interest through and through to ensure that labor destroyed
itself, self-destructed in an effort to make sure that Jeremy Corbyn never actually saw any power
whatsoever in the country. And then, actively undermining, not just like correctly covering
the labor's failures, but also actively undermining this insurgency that took place
within the Greens. Because if you were to watch the, if you were to watch British media leading up
to this goddamn election, you would think that like, you know, Adolf Hitler reincarnated as a,
as a Jewish man in the form of Zach Polanski. Okay? Meanwhile, the reform party and its door
knockers were running around in every fucking district and every council being like, SD, would
Would you like to, would you like to kill every migrant?
Would you like to kill every migrant?
Also, the Holocaust is questionable,
if it happened to not, we don't know.
Like literally, I think they actually,
I think of reform guy who is a active Holocaust denier,
won a seat yesterday,
but you never heard about shit like that
from the fucking British media
because they were too busy yelling at
the one Jewish guy,
heading a major party,
and his opinion on Palestine,
which is the majority opinion by the way.
They were so hyper focused on bashing the Greens,
that the British public has been actively
uninformed about what the fuck's going on
in their own politics where they're like,
All right. Well, I don't like the fuck. I don't like them.
I don't like them. They're migrants.
They're taking up, they're taking up the, the toll.
They're taking up space in the, in the tube.
I don't quite like them.
They're the reason why I don't get NHS aid.
Right. Meanwhile, half of the fucking NHS is migrants.
Yeah, let's take them all out of the country, lad. Fucking hell. England for English. Meanwhile,
the Labour Party's like, yes, we cannot be a nation of, we cannot be a nation of strangers.
That's what fucking Kier Starmer said. So what, what do you expect? If you don't cover
The reforms race baiting over and over again, it's racial agitations, it's anti-immigrant
sentiment, and you actively pursue the Greens as though they're like a terrifying prospect
for a British future because they want to undermine the interests of the capital owning
class a little bit in an effort to center the British working class and their policies
in their agenda. If you find that to be the true threat, then yeah, people are gonna be
uninformed and they're gonna go and, you know, vote for the reform party.
845 seats. And onto Scotland.
It's just so funny because like half of the wave of additional migrants that came in and
came in and in the aftermath of Brexit, which is the exact same force channeled by this
fucking dipshit, and the same people who are like, I doubt lot Brexit no longer. I thought
we were going to be an independent sovereign nation. Why did we fucking do this? I'm now
turning around and doing the same exact thing again.
Where it is the SMP who are still out front, though their majority that has the number
of seats so far. We are not sure quite where that is going to end up, but they that is
not what it was before. Our first report tonight is from our political
Let's Chris Mason
Ellie Ned Morgan was Wales's first minister this morning tonight. She doesn't even have
Islam is no race you moron. So how are they racist?
Yeah
Tell that to the first victim of an Islamophobic hate crime that was killed in the aftermath of 9 11
Who didn't happen to be Muslim at all. He was actually seek. So why did they kill him?
Well, because the guy thought when he shot and killed this Sikh man as a matter of fact said this one's for 9-11
Why did he do that because Islamophobia is racialized? Okay?
So racialized it's a racialized form of bigotry
It's also the reason why most people don't fucking yell at me or call me an Islamic jihadist before they find out
What my name is because I'm white
Also, what are the things that I don't understand about this kind of sentiment is like what do
you even care about racism either like what he's like wait a minute it's not my five we
are totally normal don't you dare call me fucking racist even though I hate them to
like you're both probably right the likelihood that someone who's Islamophobic is also going
to be raised unbelievably high. So who gives a shit? From your perspective, you should
worry about defending racism too, you know, because they're violent, right? They're fucking
violent. We should send them back too.
The seat in the Senate, the Welsh Parliament. Labour have won every Welsh election since
before Sir David Attenborough was even born, but not this one.
Whilst Labour has today suffered a catastrophic result, it ends a century of Labour winning
in Wales and the party will need to take a really hard look at itself.
Everything you've been saying about UK politics summed up.
Which is about reforms.
I'm not mental or racist so no.
Is immigration a problem in the UK?
No.
Why did you say no?
Because it's fundamental to our existence.
Oh, why did you say that?
Because we need it.
We don't have enough people being born in this country.
We need immigrants.
That's simple.
Why does the UK fear immigration?
We're told to.
Why who?
The elites that own us.
So the capitalists and the billionaires that have been charged
that really own us and own our parties,
mostly the Tories, but now Labour as well.
And they tell us to fear it
because they need someone to blame for our problems
when really they're the ones causing our problems.
Do you think we have overpopulations in major cities?
No, not at all.
We've got loads of them.
You think so really?
Because everyone says that the UK is such a small thing.
We can't use individuals to small islands.
Bringing more people here, we don't have the space for it.
Do you have any thoughts on that? I think that's a lie.
Have you been outside of the major city centers, man?
I have. Let me tell you.
Lots of space.
Okay?
The idea that the UK is an island is just like the population density
is far too high is one of the funniest things.
There's plenty of empty space that you can build on okay. I'm not even talking about like the
evisceration of farmland or anything because that's important for agriculture and the ecology.
I'm just straight up saying like there is plenty of room to still fucking build.
Plenty of room to build. If you had some semblance of central planning in mind you could literally
really just build a new city center, you know, Chinese style. Yeah, but no one wants to live
there outside of the big cities in the UK is basically Bulgaria. Oh, you're not wrong.
For sure. You're not wrong. Muslims can be any race, but Islam is racialized in the
West. Oh, this guy's awesome. Uh, yeah, I love this guy. This guy is genuinely my favorite
politician. Topo Rest Niro. You might think he's Japanese, by the way, from his outfit.
He's actually Indonesian. He's an Indonesian anti-Muslim Islamophobic racist who larps
as a Japanese guy. He's not Japanese.
for a reform party, goaded character. It's awesome. Secret Indonesian guy who is like,
you know, anti people exactly like him coming to the country, or at least the party that he's
involved in is that, okay? And he's larping as a Japanese guy instead.
Is he playable? Yes, is a playable character.
There's a reform candidate named Mohammad Sharia Stap. There's no way.
Here's Thomas the equivalent of Obama and Farage, Trump, Hassan. What? What the fuck?
The Greens do not have a chance in this general, and everyone knows that unfortunately Labour
MPs should have been brave and booted here. There's a reform candidate named Mohamed Sharia.
What the fuck? I didn't know that one. This is the reform guy who won after denying the
Holocaust. Yeah, reform UK candidate. What the fuck? I thought that was my brother. Oh
Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. I literally thought that was Marat. I thought it was a photo of Marat. What the fuck?
What the fuck?
I'm not even kidding what I see. This is scared me. Okay.
Okay. No, Murat is nowhere near that fat. No, no, no. This is old Murat. That's what
I'm saying. He used to look exactly like this, bro. Come on. Plot twist. This is old Murat.
The Mohammed Sharia guy is fake. Oh, man. Okay. I didn't know about this because it doesn't
exist. Dude, look at this guy. Yeah, reform UK candidate who said Holocaust was a hoax
win seat in local elections. When I know I know, but when I clicked on the link, I got
I got scared at first because I thought it was like one of our holiday pictures from
our youth or something that they posted on the article. I was like, what the fuck? It
It could be it could be nizzle. It could be you. It could be me. Honestly. Yeah, this
is morons chud. Bizarro moron believes that believes the opposite of what moron believes.
Where the people who don't know how absurd is his topos official election picture is
screenshot of him in some capeship movie. He was also in one of the, he was also one of the
musicians in the cantina in the original Star Wars. It's Marvel's Dr. Strange.
Yeah. Anti-Semitism being presented as the left coated gives the right a free run with
with candidates like this, 100%.
It's fucking devastating, man.
This is Plaid Cymru, who'd one day like an independent Wales,
who on course to be the biggest party,
with this man likely to be First Minister.
It has become clear that Wales demanded
that's change of leadership.
And I look forward to saying more about this later,
as the full picture becomes complete.
Seat 1, Dan Thomas, reform UK Wales.
Reform have also done well in Wales, easily beating Labour.
In Scotland, another win for the Scottish National Party,
a fifth consecutive term.
I will simply do all that I possibly can do to make Scotland
a successful country, and to improve the lives of the people of our country, and I look forward
to doing that in the next Scottish Parliamentary term. Thank you very much.
Labour losing here as well then, a recurring pattern today. Just look at their body language.
Glum, defensive, rejected. Speaking before the flurry of results this afternoon, here
is the Prime Minister's take.
It's a really tough result. I'm not going to sugarcoat it. The voters have sent a message
about the pace of change, how they want their lives improved. They was elected to meet those
challenges and I'm not going to walk away from those challenges and plunge the country
into chaos.
Reform UK have made big gains in Basildon, in Essex, Tayside in Greater Manchester,
And there was a hug in Hampshire too.
And they've won in Suffolk, Essex, Newcastle and the Lime, and here, favouring in East London.
Overall, what's happened is a truly historic shift in British politics.
We've been so used to thinking about politics in terms of left and right.
Yeah, no, it's a historic shift.
England, for the first time ever, is racist.
It's never happened before.
Historic shift in the direction of racism.
Britain Yahoo!
Oh my God.
Oh, that's amazing.
Britain Yahoo!
I literally thought we finally saw an episode of this pile of dog muck turned sentient after
Brexit? Nope. Nope. It seems like there is an unbelievable appetite. The thing is, in a lot
of Seas Day 1, they would have lost if it was not first passed the post, and at least half
the Seas Day 1 majority voted against them. And yet, what reform are able to do is to win in
areas that have always been conservative, but equally, we're proving in a big way we can win
in areas that Labour have dominated, frankly, since the end of World War One.
You literally called this when Labour won the last time.
Reform nearly got half as many votes as Labour, quite worrisome here.
Yeah, look at this.
Labour's landslide victory definitely, Labour's landslide victory kind of muddies the waters
given the way that like British politics works in terms of what their actual performance
in totality looks like.
Their actual performance in totality is insanely scary in comparison to former labor, former
labor politics and former labor numbers.
And also, when you look at something like this, when you look at the vote numbers across
the board, reform UK got four million.
That is like, I don't know what to say.
That is so terrifying.
That is unimaginably terrifying.
That is a red alarm bell that we're talking like we're nearing reeducation camp territory
like immediately. Okay. Like the British boomer class, the British boomer class is out of
control dude. They are so insanely reactionary. Yeah.
Hassan didn't call this. It was widely reported. Come on, chat. No. My call specifically back
then was Kier Stammer is going to do a tepid neoliberalism. He's going to pivot to the
right, and that is going to cause a massive, massive surge in support for reform. And that's
precisely what happened. That's precisely what happened. I said it verbatim. I said,
Kier Starmer, this is from 2024, the first day of the labor victory where I said,
Starmer got less votes than Corbyn. Here, Starmer is obviously very, very right-wing,
and this right-wing pivot for labor is going to cause reform to win. This is what, this is
what's important to analyze like. It's going to, it's a thumping majority without a thumping share
in the vote. What could possibly go wrong? Where is the part where I just say, like,
What is this?
It's on the hunt is right.
We need him in British politics.
I can say the thing.
Zach Polanski is too much of a gentleman to say.
Faraj gets to do this, but Zach needs to sit there and politely ask that his Jewishness
not be erased while being accused of Jew hatred.
Questions of funding for councils.
You've got some difficult questions about your own funding.
Yeah, yeah.
What we're talking about any other time you like.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we'll get to it. We'll get to it. There is absolutely a class issue here. Class is
so, class is obviously fundamentally important in my politics across the board, right? I believe
in the Marxist tradition, I'm a socialist. But class is demystified in places like the
United States of America by design, it's very successfully demystified. We have the concept
of middle class voters, you know, upper middle class, that sort of thing. Whereas in the UK,
class politics is very in your face. And class interests are primary.
Oh, wait, did I say demystified? I meant mystified. Class interests are mystified in American politics.
Whereas in the UK, it's right in your face. I mean, they have a fucking council of lords, right?
They still have lords in the UK. And there's also a lot of respect for members of the upper
crust of society. It sucks, but it's the case. And part of the, part of the issue with British
politics is that everyone in the fucking media and everyone that's a politician for the most part
are directly coming from the same two fucking schools, Oxford and Cambridge, okay?
They come from Oxford and they come from Cambridge. They all hang out. They all know each other.
They're all homies with one another. They're cut from the same fucking cloth. And even those who
are not from that same caste system will still, in an effort to advance through these institutions,
advance the interests of the same class system. Okay? And that's precisely what it is. Okay?
Eating too? Sure. Yeah, and class politics is so segmented, is so fragmented in the country that
you can tell where someone went to school from the way that they speak, right? Even Boris Johnson,
And we look at him as a goofy from the United States of America, but like Boris Johnson
has that classic party trick that he always pulls out, right?
Where he ends up doing Erma's order, say, in the original Latin, right?
He learned about this.
He learned about this in school.
He got the proper schooling.
So, all of that is a direct, all of that is a direct manifestation.
Eton is a college, not a university.
And college is high school for those of you in the United States.
A college is where you go to for what we here in the United States would call a high school,
right?
Oxbridge is a reference to the university that people go to after they get their college
education in Eaton.
Right.
Isn't that how it is?
It's between high school and uni.
Sorry.
High school and uni.
College is 16 to 18 in the UK.
college and university are interchangeable? No, but I feel like colleges are, like in Turkey, we have colleges too.
Like we call high school college in Turkey.
So I assume it's like the same in, oh, it's secondary school. Okay, not in the UK.
College is sixth form education in the UK. I thought in the US a university is a collection
of colleges. College is different in the UK is different from uni. That's what I meant.
I thought college was like what you go to before you go to university.
You go to high school or you go to a college and then you go to university.
No, is that not how it is?
Secondary school, then college for 16, 18 courses, then university for degrees.
Colleges are usually polytechnic education.
You go there after high school and before uni mostly is in that six form.
It goes primary school.
It goes, hold on, I'm going to do the accent for this, it goes primary school until 11, secondary school until 16, sixth form college, 17 to 18, and then university after that.
Ah yes, yes, very nice. Thank you.
Spot on sir, you're a good chap.
6th form is the same as college, but when it's part of a secondary secondary school
Eaton College is just the name of the secondary school aged 13 to 18
But yeah, the 16 to 18 is a further education college
But some people do 6th form for the same years
Very nice
Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is they all go to the same fucking schools, they're
homies with one another, and they represent the same class interest, even if they're not
directly a part of that same class.
And you see this manifests in the media a lot, okay?
There's not, it's not an accident that the guy who was, uh, lasering, Zach Polanski,
who very clearly represents the interest of the working class rather than the pedophilic
capital owning class, was cooked by a guy who was the best man of former Lord Mendelsen,
right? Who has in the media openly said that a lot of people are fake friends, the Mendelsen
after the Epstein stuff. I'm still writing for him and his job is not under threat at
all. As a matter of fact, his job security comes from his, his diehard loyalty to those
Those who are either servants of the elites or a part of the elites themselves.
That's it.
It's horrible.
It's totally fucked up.
But this guy nails it.
If the green belt is mostly empty space and we've killed all the animals in it, we might
as well build on it.
We need houses.
It's the fundamental thing that kills our country and kills our young people.
We need to build houses.
We need to make them so that people can buy them and own them and stop them being owned
by landlords.
So I saw another stat on our TV that in the last 10 years, there's 6.2 million people
on the waiting list for NHS and 2 million children in poverty in the UK.
Allegedly, that is due to immigration.
Do you have any thoughts on that?
I think it's not due to immigration.
Immigration is the reason our NHS works.
The thing that causes that is governments deliberately underfunding and
Sort of underutilizing the NHS what it could really be it's nothing to do with immigrants coming in
It's to do with it being badly managed and badly funded with Brexit a good or bad idea terrible idea why?
Fundamentally ruined every aspect of our country and by every measurable factor. It's weakened us
We can't eat the problem is as well with immigrants that the people don't like immigrants
I want to get rid of immigrants that would even be easier if we were in the EU it's weakened everything
We can't do anything because we're not in the EU
We're not the big powerful Britannia that we once used to be when we were going around the world and slaughtering people
We're a little island that's off the coast of the Atlantic
We need to be in the EU to have any kind of power or any kind of say so
We need to have fair and legal roots for people to be able to access this country
And if you want to stop the small boats, that's how you start doing it
And eventually by becoming a member of the EU that would help us do that as well
I mean he's he cooks no notes. He's absolutely right
So funny this fucking dipshit posted himself taking this out. Oh, yeah, the guy who was interviewing him. Yeah
So I would thought you think it's the immigrants like no
Um
He sounds like you because he's just saying the truth. That's it
Yeah, if you say the truth like I do then you know, you're gonna sound the same
Unfortunately, however, especially in mainstream Alice, you never hear this honest and refreshing
perspective on exactly what the problems are.
Everybody feels the pain, but right wing forces at the behest of capital redirect that anger
to migrants because they recognize that if these people became more conscious of their
class position and voted for politicians that represent their interests better, then profit
margins will go down. That'd be unbearable.
There are lots of cheering, even jumping greens this evening too.
So we got that, it's GEE collected as the mayor.
And a big win for them in East London.
This is a historic victory, this is the first time the Green Party have ever won a directly
elected mayor.
And two-party politics is not just dying, it is dead and it is buried.
And actually whether it's here that Labour have been rejected or whether we're seeing
around the country, it's very clear that the new politics is the Green Party versus reform.
The Conservatives, so often leading actors in the story of British politics, feel like
little more than an extra today.
They've gone backwards, but...
Good morning Westminster, how have we been?
They did regain Westminster Council.
I'm very proud of how we have done. I'm not saying that we're there yet, I'm not saying that the results are perfect.
There are loads of councillors, concerted councillors who would have lost their seats,
but they can see that our strategy is working. Good strategy takes time, it doesn't all happen overnight.
For the Liberal Democrats, modest gains and unorthodox dance moves.
control in Hull, gained control in Stockport, and won in Portsmouth.
It's a fantastic result here in...
Liberal Democrats are so funny.
I'm sorry.
What the fuck is a...
What do they represent, even?
Who's like, oh, well, in the age of feckless labor moving to the moderate center, we the
Liberal Democrats, we are gonna be...
We've been there, you know, we've been the moderates.
The things are actually fine party.
Hortsmouth, the reform threw everything at it, but we won.
We've taken control of this council and we've shown across the country that it's the liberal
Democrats who can hold off and beat reform.
What then of the Prime Minister's future?
hasn't, as yet at least, been an eruption of Labour folk demanding he goes.
This Labour MP used to be in Keir Starmer's cabinet. This afternoon, she said he should
stay for now.
The Prime Minister is doing an absolutely exceptional job on the internet.
Oh my god. Oh my god, it's just so bad.
How do you even reduce yourself to this undignified status, man?
It's an exceptional stage and it's incredibly important that you're successful in that role
because our constituents' livelihoods depend upon it, but the message has been clear from
the public that unless the government delivers significant and urgent change, it's clear
that the Prime Minister cannot lead us into another election.
and a smatching of other Labour MPs are saying similar things.
We have lost brilliant Labour representatives, people who put so much into their communities,
so much into our party, but now we've moved forward.
Why wasn't Restore an option, like the Rupert Lowe's party?
That's what you're talking about, right?
I don't know, maybe because reform is like, we're fucking Nazi enough, and people were
like, no, it's good enough. We're good enough with like, you know, moderate Adolf Hitler.
We don't want to go full Hitler. Even though they did win 10 seats, apparently. So there's
still some people who were like, no, moderate Nazism is not good enough for me. I want maximalist
Nazism.
Because I've sent a message about the pace of change how they want their lives improved
They was elected to meet those challenges, and I'm not going to walk away from those challenges and plunge the country into chaos
They've sent a message that the change that we promised isn't being delivered in a way they can feel and also
Frankly, they're fed up with years at the status quo, but we were elect
Yeah, they, yeah, you man, you, they see you as a representative of the status quo.
There's no way that you could, first of all, Kierstamer is already a charisma vacuum anyway.
So there's very little shot that he would be able to out talk his way out of this,
but it's very funny that, that he's also in an impossible position. This was an
unbelievable defeat for labor
we was a spectacular defeat for labor there is no way
that you can talk your way out of this
uh... even if you were an incredibly charismatic figure which you are not
to deal with those
and i'm not going to walk away from that
uh... and to plunge the country into chaos
did you contemplate that the problem might be you that you might need to go
to help Labour when they see it back. Did you even contemplate it? Do you acknowledge
it as a conversation even? I think it's absolutely clear that the electorate are fed up with the
fact that their lives aren't changing quickly enough. And this has been going on for a very,
very long time. I think that we were right to emphasise to the country the difficult
We have had the challenges we face, but we haven't done enough to convince people that
things can improve, their lives can get better, the hope.
And I'm not going to walk away from that challenge.
We made a number of calls, which were the right calls in terms of stabilising the economy,
investing in our public services and not getting dragged into the Iran War.
But we also made unnecessary mistakes.
and my job now is to set out the steps that we will take to bring about the change that people want and deserve.
PM, to be clear, you are not going to resign.
No, I'm not going to walk away and plunge the country into chaos.
We were elected to deal with these challenges and that's what we will do.
Has Ed Miliband asked you to set out a timetable for your departure?
Well, I think Ed Miliband has dealt with this and made absolutely clear that he supports me.
What do you say to those in your party that are really upset with you?
Stammer presided over historic loss and he still gets more preferential media treatment than Zach Polanski has gotten. I mean, I
Wouldn't say he's getting preferential treatment, but at least they're not telling him to kill himself
It's impossible for the for any any media outlet to give him positive coverage right now
I wouldn't, like the situation, the situation is untenable. It's a resounding defeat. Everyone
knows what's going on. He's basically Liz Truss. Last night, we were told the Greens
were underperforming wrong. The BBC gives the Greens a projected share of 18% narrowly
making them second place. That means they're outperforming the average polling. And that's
despite younger voters being less likely to vote in locals.
Yeah.
They don't think you're getting it.
And the real problem is
I think
labor is so unbelievably anti green that they would rather
not do any sort of coalition with the greens, even if the greens
were to win like a significant chunk of the vote.
Um, and, and I don't even know what that looks like because right now, given the share of votes for, uh, labor in the greens, like there is definitely an opportunity for a coalition, like an anti reform coalition, because the reform is going to get like a quarter plus.
plus. I can see labor trying to like align themselves with the conservatives or something.
Maybe not reform, but
labor reform and conservative coalition will 100% be a thing.
You are mistaken. Labour historically has partnered with Lib Dems and Greens and local
elections. No, I know, but there is...
Polanski literally has been accused of fomenting anti-Semitism and implying he's not just
a problem for his party, but for the country in general that's way beyond what is being
pushing in a stormer. Yeah, I wouldn't say that we are looking at the same labor party
that existed.
And we're not even looking at the same green party that existed either.
I think it's very important that we take sugarcoat these results, so I'm not going to do that.
They are tough results.
Dog, there is no sugar that you can put on.
Not just like a piece of dog shit, but a piece of dog shit that's been covered in nuclear waste.
Okay?
You can put as much sugar on it as possible.
It still smells looks exactly and radiates exactly like a piece of dog shit covered in nuclear dust, okay?
It's over big dog is over
They reflect
Voters who don't feel that their lives have changed enough or quickly enough and that's been going on for a long time
We were elected to deal with that
And I'm not gonna walk away from that responsibility
and plunge the country into chaos.
Final question.
One of your own top team
messaged me this morning
and said that
you are the reason
that Labour risks handing the country
to reform, that you are the problem.
What do you say to that?
That if you stay on, you will hand the country to reform.
What I'd say to that is
we won a landslide victory
in July 2024.
I led our party to that victory.
That is a five-year mandate to change the country.
Yes, there are difficult conditions. The inheritance was terrible.
The international context is very, very difficult.
But we need to inject that hope and convince people that things can...
Brother, how are you going to inject hope into anything?
It's socialism or barbarism. Thank you for the 10 gifts it serves.
and will get better and that's why in coming days I'll set out the further steps that we will take.
How are you feeling? Are you feeling upset today?
I am feeling very much for the brilliant candidates, the brilliant councillors, the brilliant representatives
that we have lost because I know for them they have put so much into their communities, so much of their life into public service.
Tommy Vieters, I understand why Starmer doesn't want to go and none of them ever do, but I
think this is a crazy decision for Labor. The voters have spoken. They want new leadership.
If you don't listen, you will squander the time you have left to right the ship.
Maybe a lesson from, maybe a lesson here for the Democratic Party in the United States of America.
stop pivoting to the right you only more radical forms of fascism
into
Check logs now brother, please
When are you gonna talk about a cost seeing leaving the flagrant podcast? What the fuck?
What are you taught what is that?
I don't have any opinions on this. I did not know that this is a thing that happened.
This is still more important news in British people's politics. I disagree. I think it's
It's a very important thing that took place in Britain yesterday that fascism is growing.
So I'm thinking about them, I'm thinking about what we need to do.
Akash's wife basically bragged about him being a cuck, and now his career is ruined.
Yes, I'm embarrassed. I listened to Flagrant.
Wait, what?
Is he actually a cuck?
Like I don't get it
Okay, now I'm now I'm actually invested. What the fuck what happened?
Acacias and kind of like what was it?
Was she cheating on him
Isn't it cautious wife was stud too like she's dope
That's the only thing I remember is like Akash's wife basically shooting on the politics of the
podcast. Um, and, and no, she just big dogs him.
No, dude, she made him look like a cuck. She's embarrassed about multiple occasions
about their sex life more than just that. She was shooting on them too.
I think it was just jokes and a caution and disciplinary like the flagrant audience wanted
and flagrant audience got on his ass.
She was sleeping around before they met, bragged about getting her pussy popped and said she
wanted to leave him at his lowest.
So basically she was bragging about how she was sleeping around a ton in uni and making
fun of him.
Okay.
She talked about how she slept around in college
and now people are calling him a cut.
Wait, I don't,
I don't get it.
Do people think that like,
like most people get married as virgins or something?
Like what?
What's the, what's the problem?
Okay, she slept around in college.
Akash always presented her as a pure maiden or some bullshit like that.
It's incels that are mad.
This is dumb guy logical sound so now he's a cook.
Yes, it doesn't make sense.
Podcast cringe.
We gotta address the-
Akash Singh's wife just ended his career.
Elephant in the room no pun intended. Okay, as I'm sure you guys aware boy, I cause she really the brutal humiliation of a mid-tier
comedian Patrick CC from four months ago
This is another fucking means 1.3 million views. What the fuck?
Humiliated in front of the entire world and does not know how to make it stop
Akash Singh is mostly known as being the sidekick to Andrew Schultz on the Flagrant podcast.
His wife, Jezleen, recently started creating content that many-
Start by the way.
feel is shocking or distasteful coming from a married woman.
Sometimes I get so painfully nostalgic for college, so for context I went to college
from 2011 to 2016.
I was popping my p- and living my best life in these white boy frat houses and I had a
roster of guys that I would rotate.
This is not-
I mean, I mean, like, I think it's normal for someone to have a healthy sex life before
and after marriage I, I, that's, it's a little, it's a little disrespectful when
you're a married person I feel like. Am I crazy to say that? I feel like it's,
because you're literally saying that, that you're your past life when you were,
her words not mine pop in your pussy for white boys and frat houses was far
better than your current predicament when you're popping your pussy for your
husband and that's
are you a real train guy did you celebrate a d-line extension or are you
a phony
Like, it's not, it's not the experiences that she had. It's how she's reflecting on
them that I think makes it a little bit different. Okay. Does that make sense? Cause like, look,
I'm, I'm a fairly confident guy in the tools that I'm working with. Okay. You all know
One thing I will say is, the way that she's delivering this information, perhaps in an
embellished manner, exclusively for shock and awe, because she's trying to make content out of it,
that will definitely lead some people to, you know, like the, even the fact that she
has those thoughts is normal.
I don't think that's abnormal.
I mean, when you're, uh, when you're young and you have no obligations, no responsibilities,
don't have kids to take care of, like that's a, that's a fun time.
And it's normal for people, adults, uh, who are married to, to look back at that time
fondly and be like, man, I used to be crazy.
crazy, right? That all of that stuff is fine. All that stuff is normal. It's just when you
say it out loud in this way in a format like this, of course people are going to hear exactly
what you're saying and make up their minds about the shortcomings of the other person.
Not a two-way street. This is a one-way street. His money is our money, and my money is my money.
And if you think those clips are bad, trust me, it gets so much worse.
Like when she expressed how badly she wanted to sleep with her co-host's husband.
Would y'all ever have an orgy together with your husband?
Yeah, I'm actively trying to have an orgy because this couple is good looking and you haven't seen Nav yet, but wait till you see him.
Maybe. Maybe.
I just know that Nav's is like at least 10 inches.
You would only be down for an orgy for a bit.
Or it's thick. It's thick.
Chesleen regularly roam.
Oh.
Oh my God, that's humiliating. Okay, that's...
Oh, brother.
Am I being baited?
Am I being baited? This is like this.
Okay, chat.
The way that that chatter framed this story
led me to believe that this was like incel, uh, this was like a very incel perspective. Okay.
That's a, that's pretty crazy. It's like the equivalent of Akash running around and being
like, damn, I really want to fucking, I want to fuck the shit out of that woman or this woman.
You know what I mean? And, and, and that would be very disrespectful to her.
Right? This is, I mean, it kind of is a, it is a little disrespectful, like beyond the,
the, you know, gender dynamic at play. Obviously, it's a patriarchal society. People will,
people will run with even like totally modest statements to make it seem like it's a big deal.
It's definitely, this definitely is a lot worse.
She refused to kiss him on the mouth too, someone tell him, what?
She refused to, what are you, what?
Manticizes sleeping with other men, films her arguments with Akash to post on TikTok,
brags about being a gold digger, and actively refuses to kiss her husband in public,
not even during his proposal.
This is the type of relationship that 99% of you watching pray you will never find yourself in.
But anyone who criticizes Jazzlene and the potential harmful influence she may have on couples,
she calls them in-cell red pillars.
Then again, it's somewhat understandable considering sometimes the right message can come from the wrong messenger.
Because Akash was actually warned by the Fresh and Fit podcast that he was going to find himself in this exact type of situation.
In the early 2020s, there was a digital uprising of self-proclaimed alpha males who claimed their traditional views of masculinity
were directly conflicting with mainstream liberal ideologies.
Guys like Myron Gaines and Walter Weeks of the Fresh and Fit podcast got viral attention
talking about traditional gender roles, relationship dynamics and what being a real man is.
And even though Akash and Andrew host a comedy podcast, they often dabble in more serious
broader social commentary, which led to them inviting on the Fresh and Fit guys to discuss
some of their views on masculinity.
Cuck's not doing well right now, bro. They they've been attacked from all sides. Don't they like it though?
I don't know how the cuck stuff works. Isn't that like a kink where you're like kind of busting fat nuts
When everybody's humiliating you if humiliation is a part of the whole
Aren't we technically participating in the kink when we actually shame a cuck
Like inadvertently
I don't know how the fucking I don't know how any of this shit works the end relationships
Yeah, the cuck has all the power, technically.
Any of which Akash disagreed with.
He was particularly bothered by this phrase or relationship philosophy that Fresh and Fit used that said,
Pimp or Be Pimped.
One person on the relationship?
Onk foreign's video on Akash is better.
Dog, it's 53 minutes.
It's 50-
It's 50 damn three damn minutes long, man.
I
Need the cliff notes, you know, whatever cares less wait Sean see also covered it his wife hates him dude
What the fuck this is like this this seems like it was yeah, this was happening like four months ago
What the fuck was I do? I had no idea this shit was popping has the leverage and we want the guy to always care less
We want the man to always have an upper.
Childishness.
And you guys, you guys might not like hearing that.
Childish.
But we truly feel.
I'm not.
I'm not.
These are our new beliefs, right?
You're not telling me some shit none of us have ever heard.
We all heard this from fraternity guys.
It kind of sucks that, it kind of sucks that like, she basically was like, no, they're
right.
She was like, I bet.
The man is fear been growing massive troves of content for you.
Like, I can't believe it because it's like, like clearly the Freshman for Guys are insane, right?
And, and their worldview is, is around women hate. But I think people forget that like, yes,
sometimes a lady can be maybe not super nice, you know?
Like, it's just, we, we often forget, like it doesn't mean that this is representative of all
women in any way shape or form
uh... you you hate to see
you hate to see someone give uh... so much ammunition
to the people who are
consistently wrong and and horrible monsters in general
as in college i'm saying there's room in your and i don't have a problem with a
lot of the stuff you say
i just think there is room for growth in you guys refusal to acknowledge it
almost kind of proves it to me confirms it to me that you guys are not willing to
grow right now in this fine
as an ego
throughout the pod andrew seemed to have no problem having a serious calm
conversation about someone else's world view despite not fully agreeing with it
but akash was clearly much more upset with what they were saying most of the
podcast didn't feel like he was listening but rather just waiting for his turn to
speak and assert his own personal philosophy on dating however fresh and
fit were mostly known to say outlandish and straight-up disrespectful things about women
on a regular basis. So most people naturally sided with Akash's view of equity and of quality
in relationships as well as understood his general frustration towards the-
Like I think he could be in a horrible predicament in his relationship personally, but like his
points that he's making, the broader points that he's making are not wrong, right? Like the broader
of points that he's making about like these guys being clownish, childish, uh, filled
to the brim with women hate, uh, that I do, I do agree.
It's just that, you know, it's clear that he's not in, at least from my outsider's perspective
from the couple clips that I just saw, I was like, that's not, that's not looking too great.
You know, that's just not looking too great for our boy, Akash, okay, and not looking
great at all. It seems there's something going on there. Maybe he likes it. If he does, you
know, more power to him, right? Maybe he enjoys the, the humiliation. Maybe it's a fetish.
Maybe he's, he likes being in a relationship like that. Um, you're getting clip chipped
hard. I mean, is there, is there a, like, what is the clip chipped? Like in this situation
where she goes, ha, ha, I'm just kidding. I'm in a loving relationship.
And this is how I would portray myself fantasizing about the large penis of my podcast co-host
husband is what I would say if I was portraying myself as a, as a bad partner.
Bro, she said, Garthy, she said 10 inches. Then she said, Garthy, you know,
What what's the what's the clip what is it when the clip and she goes
as soon as the clip and she goes haha I was just kidding obviously I would never say these things
Frustration towards these guys what we would later discover is that the reality of Akash's
own personal relationship reflected the exact situation that fresh and fit we're trying to
warn him about. But before we dive deeper, I want to talk about one of the most disturbing
industries in America, data brokers. They provide reports like this that have information about
you and Flegren and Fresh and Fit. Flegren and Flegren. Despite the episode ending relatively
cordially, members of the Flegren and Fresh and Fit podcast would trade shots at each other over
the next few years, but tensions reached a boiling point. Wait, this was in 2023?
See?
The point when Myron of the Fresh and Fit podcast called out Akash and his wife, Jasleen.
He tweeted, Akash Singh tried to lecture me about women years ago, here's his wife making
a mockery of him and herself on a podcast.
And linked below is a full episode of the main character podcast hosted by Jasleen Singh
and her friend, Nahal Mawani.
The women described their podcast as unfiltered girl talk and sells itself as being for the
ones who live life like the plot revolves around them, because it does. This description
on the surface is relatively harmless, but once you take a closer look at the podcast
itself, you see that this description is extremely accurate. Two women who think they're the
main characters of the world talking about themselves with absolutely no filter. One
comment that stood out in this episode was where Jeslene discusses her and her husband's
finances.
Man, that doesn't want to have a joint bank account or isn't being transparent with
his accounts or has separate accounts, that's a red flag. And I will say to get
for why is this any of our business? Great question. Um, I think it's because
they're all content creators. And cause I know there's going to be already like
incel troll mother. This is not a two way street. This is a one way street. His
money is our money and my money is my money. And look, have I only made $600
Content creating. Oh, she's rage baiting here like this is 100% rage baiting
You can tell from the tone that she's taking that that is rage bait
But you know and I don't really care about her saying this shit, but the other stuff is like kind of fucked up
Okay
So just so we're clear. No, that's actually a red flag because I know so many girls in my life personally
that have been with guys that weren't transparent about money and
They ended up being terrible in other aspects and like people ended up breaking up in divorces, etc, etc
So that is actually my number one. They must be generous with their finances from day one
For context, Jeslene is not a celebrity by any means
She does not have a job of her own and has only been able to build her internet following thanks to her husband
supplementing her lifestyle and this is not a dig at her at all
She talks about this a lot in her content and some even think she brags about it
Okay, hi, my name is just lean and these are things that I do as a stay-at-home wife
Or sorry, I don't do I don't cook. I don't clean and I don't do my husband's laundry
I feel that I don't have to do things to justify or prove my worth that I'm allowed to do this now
Some may interpret this as just jokes
But she also frequently posts day in my life videos where she romanticizes her routine of doing essentially nothing all day long
I actually do this. I just do this like I sit here
This now if this is the agreement this couple has in their relationship
then that's fine. It is what it is. Being a stay-at-home wife or mother is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.
But it's the aggressive tone and entitlement she gives off that has earned her the label of a gold digger,
something that she subtly implies to be.
Now, like, people are like, oh, that's gold digging, or that's something. No, it's not.
Okay, then I'm digging. Yeah.
If that wasn't bad enough,
Jisleen frequently discusses other men that she would like to cheat on her husband with.
I never watch that show, but like, he's on my-
Yeah, that that that is the only thing that I I think like her being like I'm a gold digger
I'm stay at home mom. I don't give a fuck about any of that shit. I
Actually don't give a fuck about any of this even this part of the why am I watching this?
God damn it I got hooked the hook was so compelling the hook was so fucking compelling. Oh
Oh my god. Oh my god. What am I doing? How did I get here? How do we get here?
Okay. Well, I'm already invested. I have to see more of it.
Oh yeah. Chase Crawford, Jacob Elordi, Austin Butler.
Now, some people see the whole celebrity crush thing as unserious because the celebrity feels so
distant so unreachable that it's basically the same thing as fantasizing about a fictional character.
Like it's not really cheating because in their minds the situation is so unrealistic that it
becomes hard. Yeah, because it is. There, the, the, I'm telling you, man, there's a difference between
someone being like, oh, these are my hall passes or whatever. It literally is versus saying that
that about your podcast coho's husband. Okay. Those are like, those were an entirely different
zip codes. I don't give a shit about her also being like, Oh, I'm a bad wife or whatever
the fuck. All that stuff is irrelevant. Okay. But there is a level of disrespect beyond
that.
Homeless. Others see this as straight up openly admitting they'd hook up with someone else.
That wasn't their husband because celebrities are just people too. After all,
that him in that movie like did kind of like rewire my second type but in Bureka poor not
anymore but like he was so hot and yeah and he's like like made it on bunny like bunny and I was
like okay but jisling didn't just openly fantasize about sleeping with other famous men yeah this
stuff is it this is incel rage bait I mean the way that they're interpreting this stuff it's kind of
like, what's going on here is this, okay? What's going on here is this. There is some things that
she's absolutely said that are pretty fucked up in a normal healthy relationship. But the kernel
of truth at the heart of this story is being padded by unlimited amounts of misogynistic framework,
right? And I feel like that's what's going on where it's like, she's, you know, perhaps not
the best partner, or maybe she is the best partner for a gosh, I have no fucking idea,
right? Depends on if he's happy or not, because I have no assessment. I have no way to know what's
in his heart. I have no way to know what the internal dynamic of this relationship is. So all
of this is just people from the outside, interpreting the relationship and what it looks like,
like, and adding a shit ton of extra stuff to really pad the deck, I know this because
like I often am on the receiving end of a lot of like smear operations, where they'll
like, take a perspective that I have a real perspective that I hold, and they will bastardize
it to the 11th degree, adding on a whole bunch of things that'd be like, Oh, this is, these
These are the anti-communist perspectives that I already had, and all of the baggage
that I already have, I'm applying to this individual.
Luffy's Ever All Roads lead to Hassan.
I'm a content creator by trade, so I'm just trying to use my own personal experiences
here to offer additional insight.
Quite literally admitted to wanting to sleep with her co-host husband nav
Yeah, that part this is oh, I'm gonna skip it. It's too much. It's too much to see
This is too much. This is oh god. Okay. Fuck it. I'll play it again
The couple is so good-looking and you haven't seen Nav yet, but wait till you see him
His body goes crazy his face card always lays never decline and it's kind of weird
but I'm like, us for it?
Okay, maybe, maybe.
I just know that Naz did.
It's like, at least 10 inches.
You would only be down for an orgy for it?
Or it's thick, it's thick.
The original question was a joke
about all four of them sleeping together.
However, Jisleen only talks about Nav
and never mentions her own husband,
even excluding him from the hypothetical
and talking about a three-person situation.
Nahal clearly attempts to steer the conversation
back to the dynamic being for people,
to respect Akash while Jezleen continues to fantasize about Nav.
Once again, you could argue that Jezleen is just joking.
When you joke about something over and over again,
especially in a short period of time,
you start to wonder if there's a little bit of truth to that.
Even while talking about her husband in a positive light,
Jezleen can't help but imply that Nav is a better husband than her own.
To make matters worse, only minutes later in the podcast,
they bring their husbands on where Akash is forced to sit next to the man-
What?!
Oh my god, bro!
His wife was just fantasizing about having sex with, and she once again brings up having a threesome with Nahal and Nav while Akash is sitting right there.
I'm a hustler who scams a little bit. I'm not a scammer who hustles.
I don't know why that was sexy, and that's why I'm actively trying to have it worse.
Even at the end of the episode, Jazlyn once again completely unprovoked states that she wants to sleep with Nav.
main character pod. We love you. We hate you. I guess. But I actually love you and want to
all of you would be hard pressed to make a compelling argument that just lean is only
joking when she brought up this topic multiple times. And when we get to hear from Akash directly
about his perspective of their relationship, you almost get this sense of relief from him
that he finally can express how he really feels about just lean's behavior. When she's running
Two hours late to a dinner reservation that I worked really hard to get and then I'm like baby
We're running late and she's like are you kidding me? Do you know I don't give a f*** if we're late to this dinner
They're lucky to have it and I'm like oh, that's what we're doing. I'm the one restaurant in the New York times
Yeah, hard to read. Call them right now. Call them right now. I'm not even joking. This is how main character. I am
I was like Sama will be lucky. Yeah, okay. She's just like a fucking annoying person like that's okay
That's what it is
Okay, yeah, she is designed in a laboratory to make incels scream in agony, I think, to
go, I told you so.
She's just spoiled, just spoiled annoying person.
Case closed.
I would grace them with my presence tonight.
Giseline seems to think that being the main character means being as entitled and rude
as possible, with no regard for any of the things she has done.
Nelson's personal feelings.
Stories like these demonstrate that Jislyne's selfish demeanor isn't just played up for
laughs on a podcast, but exists within her real life as well.
Akash comes off visibly frustrated when talking about his wife's toxic behavior, turning
it into a therapy session for him where he can finally let out his pent-up rage.
When I say I'm tired, she can't just let me be tired. I travel, I work. I'm very blessed
to do what I do.
You know, it's really bad insomnia.
I have really bad insomnia. I work 335 days a year. I'm so blessed to do what I do. This
is not a complaint. But when I tell my wife I'm tired, I want her to say, I'm sorry,
baby. I understand. That must be exhausting buying me all these things. Instead, she goes,
So am I. And if I dare open my mouth to go, what the f**k did you do that made you tired?
Now it's a problem. Now it's a fight. So I am sitting there.
What do you think? I went to Pilates?
Oh, that's what I'm saying.
I'm saying.
Now there definitely is a humorous delivery to the story that Akash is telling, but it
does seem to be rooted in genuine problems he has with his relationship.
Dyslene displays an extremely selfish and entitled mindset, both on the podcast and
in their real life. Are we really meant to believe that all of this is just funny, just
jokes? Well ironically, that's basically how Akash justifies putting up with this behavior.
It's adorable when she does these things. Like, I just look at it and I've- and here's
the rule in our marriage. It's been unspoken but now we're just saying it, now that we're
both making content. If it's funny, we're good. Like, if it's funny and if it's not funny
and I hurt the other person's feelings, you apologize, you move on.
Any logical person understands this is an extremely slippery slope because literally
Anything can be passed off as a joke or an attempt to make a joke like this video
She posted to tiktok where you can hear them both chuckling from time to time
But it's clear they are both frustrated and quite literally just documenting themselves having an argument
Do you know what my husband just tried to do to you?
Bro, I think this dude in some ways kind of like I
Mean she's hot right
And he just was like, oh, I hit the lottery.
You know, I swung above, I swung for the fences and I kind of secured some here.
And then that's it.
And he's just being humiliated after successfully punching up.
Are you trying to fuck her too?
No, what the fuck's wrong with you?
I, her personality is, is in my opinion, like everything that I've seen thus far.
Hassan, I want you to know you have undone years of growth with 1000 people in your audience.
Their incel has been reawakened and being empowered to 2016 levels. No, being an incel,
being an incel would, would cause you to apply this not to the individual, but like across the
the board to all women. The point is, yeah, there's going to be people that are just not
great. Okay. That's it. People do this all the fucking time where they, they make broad
generalizations about entire sub sex of the population off of like one individual action,
especially if it pairs up with an anecdote, right?
People have had moments of weakness
or like bad experiences and whatnot.
And they just like apply it broadly
to all women across the board.
And that's where you become an incel.
It's unbelievably stupid.
But I will say that everything I've seen thus far
is so crazy that I thought it was like a pre-ordained arrangement where they just know they're both leaning into it or something.
Would you allow Dua Lipa to do this to you? No, dude.
There's no one on the planet that I would ever allow to treat me this way because I have self-respect.
No disrespect, but...
Like, I just...
I don't think anyone should allow. I mean unless they enjoy it.
That's why I keep saying maybe he enjoys it, right?
We're leaving in Paris in five hours, so tensions are a little high. We also just read in our closet
Which we already agree this stuff is is nothing this is irrelevant like little
little arguments here and there is is a totally irrelevant. It's just
I think the one that pushes it over the limit is like the way she speaks about her pocket
scoho's husband, and then also in front of Akash himself, like that is actually disrespectful.
I do think the overwhelming majority of content creators in the Manisphere would still make
this exact same video, even if she didn't say things like that.
But at that point, you know, I don't think they would have that same argument.
I don't think it would be as applicable.
This is a situation and we're monitoring it.
Yes.
And now I'm saying I don't have space for all my, I don't have space for, can you
I show?
I don't have space for all my Indian suits because I like my dress is based
up.
Do you know what Akash just did?
Here you go. Watch this. Oh my god. I'm not doing that. Space exists. I'm not doing that.
So what do you want to do? You want to buy a separate house with all hangers? No. In another video
she documents her being stressed out about packing for a lavish vacation in the wealthiest area of
America, which is only a three-hour drive from their apartment. Okay, so me and my husband
are supposed to leave tonight to go to the Hamptons for two weeks and I haven't even packed
anything yet so I was just like I'm really stressed like I don't want to go
tonight because I still have to pack I haven't even started I have to finish my
laundry really I know this is a really hard day what do you do again oh today
yeah um I had a mani-pedi wait and I had a massage it's real how stressful to go
to the Hamptons for two weeks oh oh my gosh puts up with
with Jazzaline's selfish behavior and entitlement because he thinks they are just cute jokes.
But it clearly isn't just jokes.
Jazzaline even says that Akash's birthday is her least favorite day of the year because
it's the only day she can't be mean to him.
Okay, way before this Akash's birthday, every-
Way before it's the fourth day with you.
Yes, yeah.
Yeah, and every year I dread it because I have to be nice the whole day and I have to get
him something and I have to also be nice and do like, act with kindness.
She's really not okay with it.
Okay, go ahead.
Well, it's really hard.
For her, it's really hard.
For me.
She needs to just, you know.
Listen, I'm just used to being treated like a princess all day every day so that one day that I don't...
Oh, what torture.
Yeah.
Akash is the Indian Will Smith.
Bro, Akash married the girl Fresh and Fit warned you not to marry.
She's the embodiment of what Fresh and Fit said to avoid.
void. Akash's rejection of fresh and fits ideology now looked more like a defensive response
born out of insecurity, considering her previous comments about her cheating on her husband,
the unapologetically consumerist lifestyle that he funds, and the clear unsettling tension
she-
The unapologetically consumerist lifestyle that he funds, like, oh come on man. Yeah
bro they're fucking rich, like what do we- why do also wealthy youtubers make it seem
like they live this aesthetic lifestyle whenever they are farming outrage for other content
creators. It's like, bro, you literally have a massive YouTube channel with 2.48 million
subscribers. Like, just because there's no, uh, there's no insight into how you live
your life, like, what is this, what is this count? What, what is this argument that you're
presenting? Like, oh, it's an unbelievably lavish lifestyle that a cost provided for
this bad woman. It's like, come on, dude. He has with Akash made many questions. What
her true? Yeah, she's just narcissistic and annoying. And the internet has obviously fed
into some of those, some of those personality flaws. And she's just farming. She's just
rage baiting to a degree. He can still critique it. No, no, that part is stupid. It's a stupid
thing to critique. What do you mean? That's not a that's not an adequate or apt critique
of this of this relationship. That's my point. That's my argument. Come on, bro. You can't
defend this. No, I'm not defending it at all. The fuck are you talking about? I just called
her narcissistic and fucking annoying and also getting because it's opulent. This is
opulence this this is opulence for you that they live in an apartment where they were
capable of I mean they're rich enough to live in an apartment where they have a closet this is
wow look at that the peak of abundance it's like Laura Loomer literally fucking taking a
a creep shot of me sleeping on the plane, being like, see the lap of luxury.
Bro, you want to defend opulent consumerism, it sounds like, but you want to defend opulent consumerism?
I forgot that every single person that I talk to on the internet actually has a barrel strap to their chest
and are not typing this away from their Connecticut McMansions that their executive
finance executive parents own, you know.
Forgot that this is, forgot that Chatters are tuning in from a stolen Wi-Fi in a McDonald's
bathroom. Off of their phones that they also stole. Everyone
it's which has a blue collar worker. Yeah.
Attention she has with a cash made many questions had no actual
emotional or romantic tie to the man that she married and the
The sentiments would only grow stronger as people took notice of a very strange pattern
of behavior, that being her tendency to avoid kissing Akash, and even straight up dodging
his kisses when he tries to initiate.
I don't know, I'm a liar.
Then she's a good liar.
That's a friend that lies for you, and not to you.
And this was not just a one-time occurrence.
Entire compilations have been created showing just how often Jisleen avoids kissing her
own husband.
To make matters worse, not only did she dodge a kiss from Akash during their marriage proposal,
But she also dodged his kiss a second time when he proposed to have their vows renewed.
But Jislene says it's nothing more than her being uncomfortable with public displays of
affection.
I'll also respond to the people saying I don't like my husband because I turned away from
a kiss.
I've never liked PDA.
How do you not become a sin?
Have confidence in yourself, man.
That's it.
So much of the stuff that becomes a big deal on the internet is just about being devoid
of confidence. If you're a self-assured person, it doesn't f*****g matter.
D***l touch, I find it really overstimulating and so it's something I actually work through
with my husband because that's his love language.
Now having issues with PDA are extremely common. However, it is worth considering all of the
other things Jislyne has no problem doing on camera. She's constantly talking about
s**t on her podcast and on her TikTok, not to mention the fact that she posted an entire
video where she is clearly not wearing any pants, getting treatment for a bruise she
got during...
As if it couldn't get worse, she also flirts with the doctor.
Also, I heard you were single, is that true?
So she has no problem post-
Okay, so, you know, Akash is laying it down, right?
Isn't that evidence that they are fucking?
I feel so bad for this dude, man.
Why did you call Drake Corny?
I don't think that's right.
Can you take back this opinion?
No.
Her last tiktok?
Yeah, she getting piped.
I would have never gotten sign of my husband would have never sold our radio cities.
They have sex, but no kissing reminds you of something.
Imagine forming a perspective on this woman in a relationship purely from the slob tuber
and his bad faith framing omega law.
Yeah, I mean even the the framing itself shows that they they be fucking, right? They're fucking
Is this flagrant drama a cosh getting cucked I mean I feel
Did you see Bill Burr last night he was at shory cuts rally
Yeah, dude, yeah Bill Burr
for holding up quotations from Chairman Mao.
I wish, I wish that was the reality though I lived in.
A class seems like Jazz Lee and Things Desi girls are going to white men because brown
boys are trash.
Don't blame the brown girls for going to white man blame yourself and your friends for being trash options
Now before you're like a wages thing not all my god. She's hitting every angle. I swear to god
She is like a look a professional. She was built in a laboratory to piss off every fucking brown boy. Oh
My god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. It's like it literally feels like it feels like she just
Designs these takes in a laboratory
Yeah, I think, I think we just shouldn't have the internet. That's what I think. Okay. She
got a taste, she got a taste of, of like negative, negative reaction. And, and she loved it.
love the attention so she's just like farming it. It's rage bait. I mean she might even,
she might believe it too. I don't really give a shit whether she believes it or not but
it's like clear that she's leaning into it. Which.
Seeing herself having very graphics conversations, half naked videos of herself and flirting
with other men, but she draws the line at giving her own husband a kiss.
Just doesn't really make sense.
Not only did Jazzlene look extremely shady, and now seemed like she was perfectly comfortable
with lying about her relationship to make herself look better.
And it turns out she wasn't just lying to her small audience, she was also lying to
her own husband as well.
Now Jazzlene constantly claiming that she has main character energy is particularly interesting.
This is supposed to mean that you are liberated from others' judgment and confident in yourself.
But for some, saying you have main character energy is just an acceptable way to admit
that you are a narcissist.
And narcissists tend to lie about everything, which is why many refuse to believe Jisleen
when she said that she was a virgin before meeting Akash.
Akash has previously stated that he and Jisleen were both virgins before they met.
My wife also hadn't had any sex partners, so that helped us connect a lot more.
Let me ask you this, are you a believer?
Why is it, uh, what you said, why is it, uh, so terrible to be insecure?
Can you not stand up and deliver some hopeful masculinity?
What do you mean?
What most people perceive as masculinity is just genuinely confidence anyway.
What the fuck are you talking about?
What no being insecure is not a positive thing.
It's not a positive trait at all.
What?
coupled with sexual dominance? What are you saying, brother? What? You think insecurity
is not a virtue, okay? That's not... I don't know what other associations you're making
with insecurity. Is this the haunted virus everyone's talking about? I already covered
haunted virus yesterday! There's a video on my channel on it.
If you've seen her, then it's hard to believe.
I remember I was just like, what?
Jisleen in a separate podcast made the same statement.
I was at the point where I was ready,
because I don't know if you told her,
because I was-
Oh no, I didn't know your version too.
So I was a version too when I read him.
However, posts made by Jisleen herself
tell a completely different story,
like the one where she reminisces on the days
she spent in college,
passing herself around to other men.
Sometimes I get so painfully nostalgic for college,
Still, for context, I went to college from 2011 to 2016.
I was popping my- I'm living my best life in these white boy frat houses, and I had
a roster of guys that I would rotate.
Now technically, she doesn't say that she was sleeping with them, but it is heavily
implied.
And despite many feeling like they co-
You mean she's just popping her pussy?
What the fuck does that imply?
I mean that's what it is, right?
Not her and a lie, she surprisingly doubled down in response to the criticism, claiming
that she did in fact lose her virginity to Akash.
Even though Jezleen has disabled the comments on her social media, preventing anyone from
criticizing her on her own page.
Oh, yeah.
No, that would be, like, see, this is the other stuff where, like, in my opinion, it
moves into, it moves into the other territory where it's like, yeah, she's probably getting
fucking inundated with a barrage of fucking incels that, in some way, she totally is leaning
into. Okay.
He still sees the backlash and her justification for acting the way she
does online just makes everything so much worse.
Justine has made a few public responses on her Tik Tok.
Oh, when she was saying she was popping her pussy, she didn't.
Uh, she just meant like she was dancing where she claims that she's been
canceled, which is funny because she has nothing to be canceled from.
She has no show to be fired from.
no brand deal to lose, no job, no platform that anyone could realistically take away
from her.
In the last few years, cancel culture has become such a buzzword that people will use
as a shield against any form of criticism.
If an influencer or celebrity frames their criticism as, ah, they're just trying to
cancel me, a certain group of viewers will immediately jump to their defense without
doing any research.
They hear the word cancel and assume it's just another example of people online trying
to ruin someone's life for no reason. But Giseline is the one who decided to blurt out
all of this stuff about her relationship for the internet, and she's been criticized
for it. It's that simple. But she mostly chalks up all the negative attention to just coming
from red pillars and incels trying to cancel her because she doesn't fit the traditional
wife role.
When you're a simple little boy, it just breaks their brain that a girl can just be
loved for simply existing. My husband loves me for simply existing. I don't have to cook
clean to justify my worth now nobody is saying that she needs to cook and clean
and fit some 1950s idea of a tradwife to have value okay I think you just made a
really good point and I I think this is real insoles are attracted to toxic
women like a moth to a flame man is so is so real I think when you have like a
like a healthy relationship if you're if you've had like a healthy dating life
life, you kind of, especially when you get to a certain age, you kind of see stuff like
this and you're like, yeah, I'm not, I would never be interested in this at all. I'm out,
right? But I feel like a lot of incels that haven't had any relationships whatsoever,
or have had like one relationship that went sour, and then they just like developed their
entire worldview around how like every woman is just like this person that wronged me,
that, that pushed them further and further into the, the depths of, you know, the man
is fear and, and hating on women.
They actively, in my opinion, seek out this kind of behavior where they can't look away.
It's more so just a, almost as like a ritualistic humiliation.
It's a constant, it's a constant desperate way to, to confirm your biases.
You look for validation from other men who also have the same perspective as well.
So in some ways like this woman is perfect for it, right?
She's perfect because she does represent a lot of the, the qualities of, of what these
In cells present like all women as
Are you going to Jason Louise birthday party maybe why are you asking are you gonna be there?
If I'm up that late potentially
Because like when I see stuff like this when I when I see stuff like this
Okay.
I just, I feel like this is just not for me.
I look at this and I'm like, wow, okay.
Well, this person is kind of a fucking asshole, right?
And then it's over.
I see it.
I react to it.
I think to myself, ew, whatever.
And I move on with my life.
Whereas I do feel like people have this insane obsession with, in many instances, let's be real women, because that's what these guys are seeking out.
They're looking at women that behave in a certain way because they want to confirm their priors, they want to confirm their biases.
Okay? In an effort to reinforce their perspective, they don't see men behaving in a similar manner,
or even if they do see men behaving in a similar manner, they don't perceive it in the same way,
and it becomes this like obsession. It becomes this obsession that takes over what
otherwise would be developing, what otherwise would be the time that you
would be spending developing healthy relationships with real women in the real
world that would most likely cause you to understand that this person is not a
representation of all women at all as a matter of fact. It's like an unbelievably
stupid opinion to have. It's very reactionary thinking, the idea that like this, this person
is not like an individual, but a representative of an entire population. I had a right-winger
friend who would tell me all about all the interracial porn, the stories of white couples
having black kids and shit, and I previously didn't understand why he would spend so much
time, seeking this thing that was random to me, is just as insecurity that makes it a big deal?
Yeah, white man has been here. Why cuck porn?
What is this?
Meaningful is so fucking subjective staying at home and do my hobbies of cooking while my partner brings me bread is peak
Would you say it's an abusive dynamic would it be abusive if he treated or like that genuine question do I think
It's an abusive dynamic. It's entirely up to the individual. I don't know what the fuck's going on in their relationship
Why am I making an assessment on whether or not their relationship is abusive or not from the outside?
They are choosing to show these things, these snippets.
It's entirely dependent on consent, you know?
We're just making assumptions off of like what she chooses to show the rest of the world
and what he's comfortable with her choosing to show the rest of the world.
You know, people choose abusive relationships all the time. Yes.
This is correct, but my point is we don't know, we don't know enough.
I'm not their fucking relationship council, right? I'm not their therapist. I don't fucking know.
This is like when you get clipped out of context, we don't have the full story. Yes.
I think I've been pretty fair in my assessment here. There's like a lot of,
there's a good deal of padding in this story that is just like irrelevant
and certainly massaged with a very specific framework that is there to farm a lot of outrage
from people who feel like a lot of women are this way, right? It's, it's leaning into that
confirmation bias that people seek out. But having said that, she does have a lot of fucking
annoying tendencies. Maybe a gosh likes it. And also she has been disrespectful from my standards.
If I was in his shoes, I'd be like, this is completely unacceptable. I would not be in this
fucking relationship at all. Right? But that's my personal standard. That's my personal expectation
from a healthy relationship might be very different for Akash, right?
But I think that's a very fair and unfortunately not so common reasonable take that you can have.
You know?
She was that pope.
There's a literal war going on. No shit, dude.
Dude, I spent eight hours a day every fucking day talking about it.
Can I just have like, can I do one side step without everybody shoving it down my goddamn
throat?
Is it appropriate?
Can we just fuck?
It's Friday.
It's Friday and it's four hours and 48 minutes in.
Can we just like, you know, do something different every now and then?
Jesus fucking Christ.
Publicly romanticizing other men, joking about cheating and openly fantasizing about life
before your husband isn't empowerment, it's disrespect. It's not about gender roles, it's about
basic partnership and companionship, and her mentality and behavior influencing others is
potentially harmful to relationships or even single people all around the world. Her second
response came a few days later, after people had thoroughly scrubbed through her digital footprint.
Jisleen should have realized at this point that it was more than just incels coming after her,
but she does make an interesting point about the criticism she was receiving.
Why are you mad if me and my husband are cool with each other if we both make-
Okay, fair. That is low-key kind of fair, though. That's a fair point.
Jokes at each other's expense. The difference is my husband won't go on stage and say whatever
the f*** he wants about me. No one has anything to say. It's like, oh my god, it's so funny,
it's so relatable. But then I, I come on TikTok and I make jokes and now you have a f***ing problem
because I don't have a mic in my hand.
Ironic to be fair. I have no idea what a cautious takes are on the relationship. So I don't know. We've only seen one side of it
Glee yes, if she did have a microphone in her hand
It would be way different if she was trying to make it as a stand-up comic and her material focus wait, what no what no
That's what no she is making content
What I don't think that's the I
I don't think that's the same standard at all. He has a lot of those takes calls her a bitch all the time women cannot make jokes online
They always assume to be serious
Yeah, so I I don't know anything
About a cautious is commentary on the relationship a class that is just jokes and people are claiming he's being abused and forced to lie about it
Yeah, the only thing that I think is like kind of
The only thing that I think is fucked up and it doesn't matter if it was a cost doing it to his wife
From my perspective from my standards, right is like talking about
Someone else's his husband. That's like right in the fucking room
I mean, that's crazy, right and it's the same if a car was like, yeah, I'd love to dig out your podcast co-host
I'd be like, whoa, that's fucking insane. Like you guys are in a loving relationship. That's the mother of your children
And like that, that's my perspective. Maybe they don't have those standards, right? But
that's it. That's, that's what I would, that's the only thing that I've seen here that I'm
like, oh, she's otherwise like kind of, she's otherwise kind of annoying. But again, my
standards different for everybody else.
Am I crazy? If I just read, this is classic drama content, shit. Like it's not healthy
compared to other people who don't do that. But it's also kind of part of the deal with
content creator influencer types. It's not normal relationship with both people around
podcasts. Let's be real with ourselves. Yeah. Yeah, they have kids, I think, right? And
that, and that what she said.
I mean, there are certain things that I think people can understandably take issue with
that I have said, you know, that, that I don't, you know, I don't make any excuses for that.
I have a, an entire library of commentary that people can point to.
Um, I have an entire library of content that people can point to, like they, like here,
I'll give you a better example than America deserve 9-11, right? Because I, I clarified what I meant
immediately after and it was in 2019 people still bring it up and be like he says it every day
It's kind of funny. Whatever who gives a shit, right?
but
the one example that I think
people use all the time
That they have disagreements with is when I say like Hamas a thousand times better than Israel I take that I've also doubled down on right
Like there is
There is an underlying ideological tension with the way people receive that information.
And there is reasonable disagreements with what I have to say and what people take out
of that sentiment.
But that's a, from my perspective, it's a defensible take, right?
Like that's the reason why I say it.
As a matter of fact, the conversation I think to have in the aftermath of that is a healthy
one to have.
of the reason why I say that thing that I say, right? So I think that's a little bit different than,
like, if people were using that as a reason and they were getting mad at that, that would be the
equivalent here of her being like, I want to fuck your podcast, Koho, I bet he is a girthy cock,
you know? Like, that's my version of it. Like, you can have a disagreement with that,
But it's like a sincerely held position. We can have a conversation about that
Whereas the other stuff is like, you know clipped shimped or added on to the fucking pile
Sometimes see a fair majority of men going the insult direction from tiktok and social media
And I wonder if a lot of women are going this ladies path because of tiktok as well. Yes
Yes. Yes, I do think that TikTok is fomented gender wars. It's unbelievable. And I do think
that if we were just like, if we knew less about one another, and if we weren't trying
to engage in this like algorithmically driven rage bake content in shorter and shorter bursts,
given that people's attention spans have gotten shorter as well, we would probably live in
a much healthier society. That's why we say touch grass, right? That's why we say communicate
with one another in the real world, the reality of the matter is if we did that more frequently
we would have infinitely healthier relationships, apps of fucking LOOTLY.
Yes.
Born out of the unbelievable amounts of privilege that we have living these incredible lives
uh... in the lap of luxury in the imperial core
we create these uh... luxury beliefs in sometimes these luxury problems
we create these luxury problems for ourselves i don't think that there is
like this level of
i think these sorts of issues exist everywhere you know
After all that information about the strange couple you have to flash us, MIB style, please
us on.
Psst.
Parkes against the reality, her comment about the penis is just, your insecurities, talking.
It's not even a comment about the penis, it's the fact that she's saying she wants to fuck
her, uh, Parkes co-host husband.
like that's disrespectful.
The fuck?
I don't think you would be comfortable with,
I mean, I wouldn't be comfortable with a partner
saying that, you know?
I'm just saying those are my standards.
If you think that that's insecurity, then sure.
I wouldn't say that about someone else either.
someone else either. Why it is if you know it isn't real?
I mean, there are varying degrees of reality in content creation. There's varying degrees of
reality in content creation. Like, there's a difference between doing that in a movie
versus doing that in a comedy set versus doing that in a podcast versus doing that in a TikTok video.
It's entirely dependent on the context, it's dependent on the tone, it's dependent on the setting, you know.
And I'm saying that from my estimation, talking about it, talking about this, this possible fantasy,
Even if it's like how you're presenting yourself, even if it's like made up, presenting yourself this way is still going to be disrespectful to your partner, I think.
think. I saw the co-host in her fellow because she didn't defend her and I'll look it up.
I also do get like an overall vibe about the type of person that will like actively engage
in this kind of rage bait. And I do think that it's lazy. And I think it's also not
necessarily, I mean, it's somewhat disrespectful, but it's like also presenting the negative
lens on your relationship as like the only way to farm impressions. And when you lean
into that over and over again, you kind of put your relationship in second place status,
right? It's toxic. To be fair, Akashi Tsunar all the time by throating Shultz's dick every
Well, apparently no longer will he be throwing Schultz's dick because he left the podcast
Just around her being a gold digger or cheating on her husband people would likely assume that she's being self-deprecating
And not to take her as seriously because when you are on stage with a mic people understand that it is a form of performance art
Like I don't even agree with this take. I do think that like a lot of the stuff that she says rage baiting on
Tiktok is just her doing a bit for sure
And I don't think it's as relevant, but there are still lines, right?
They're still boundaries. I was thought about written practiced and perfected over time
But she isn't selling herself as a comedian her podcast is branded as unfiltered girl talk
Which implies that just lean is offering her honest thoughts and feelings while present
Autistic about the interpretation is still content for sure
Same things she tries to pass off as jokes. She also attempts to justify as valid opinions
She genuinely has also her tiktok is quite literally a behind-the-scenes look at her real life and real dynamics with her husband
She is picking and choosing what should be considered as jokes and what is serious to again deflect criticism
This is likely the exact same thing she does to Akash in their personal relationship,
which is why he doesn't even realize he is being disrespected and humiliated.
Akash certainly complains about his relationship while doing stand-up.
My wife is objectively gorgeous. Me? Nah.
So that's what you gotta do. I gotta work my ass off.
And then every time she starts looking at me and she starts assessing my beauty, I just throw a bag at them.
I'm telling you ladies if you have a good guy do you know what he needs a vacation you hear it all the time a
Relationship is hard work marriage is a job. Well every good job gives you two weeks vacation
And if you have a good man, I promise you I know what his dream vacation is because every good guy's dream vacation is
your vacation
Go somewhere. Go anywhere you want.
But in a more personal setting, like podcasts for example, Akash is significantly more
graceful when talking about his wife.
She just says everything she's feeling at whatever moment.
It's done.
She just tells me when she's pissed off at me.
It just all comes out.
It took me a while to appreciate that because initially I'm like, why are you so competitive?
What's this about?
God damn, stop fighting with me all the time.
And then I was like, oh no, she just lets it out and she's free.
All these little social niceties that we all do where we just lie.
took the simping crown from Will Smith.
Feeling the pressure from all the backlash,
Akash started interrupting his stand-up performances
to talk about social media drama.
As one fan wrote,
I went to the 7pm show last night and it was extremely awkward.
Okay, the rest, I'm skipping the rest of this.
I feel like the rest of it is like,
God, do you guys, look, I watch Patrick's stuff sometimes,
but it's like, do you, I don't know what it is,
But for me, for me, when I see commentary like this that's like so heavily fucking biased,
I'm like, I'm not getting the accurate information.
Like, I do feel like a lot of people are so invested in farming
that they just kind of drop all, all investment in like giving you what the information is.
Two days ago, Ecosity is leaving flagrant to pursue full time comedy, but people are blaming
his wife for it. Andrew shows the rules that Ecosity has left the flagrant parkers after
nine years of pursuit, stand up comedy full time after his relationship with his wife went viral
almost be an elephant in the room. No pun intended. Okay. As I'm sure you guys were boy,
our car. She really went through it earlier this year, showed amazing resilience and,
you know, selling out radio city recently, setting records in Toronto, just crushing
stand up around the globe and literally just like living the dreams that he would tell
me about it two in the morning when we're eating fucking egg sandwiches at the Selka.
So it's been amazing to see, but the experience has put things in perspective for him.
He's made the decision to focus all I do think that there is a stranglehold that like incels have in cells are extremely online
And they do have a legitimate stranglehold
On content creation in some ways because people are so fucking worried about disrupting that pattern and pissing them off
That they like God forbid
They they God forbid ever take like an even keeled approach on an issue or whatever
However, there is definitely a lot of audience captured.
It takes place in online content creation.
And I will say, I will say that especially with the clip farming that takes place on
Twitter and the right wing framing that takes place on Twitter, a lot of content creators
are terrified of pissing off those forces.
So even if they don't personally believe certain things, they lean into certain biases, certain
bias frameworks in their content creation.
God forbid they piss off those forces on the internet. Those guys are they're very punitive
They're gonna come after you no one wants to be in the position that I'm in in many respects
I think a lot of content creators see that and they either shut the fuck up about these issues and they never talk about it at all
Or if they are gonna talk about it, they just totally give up and they lean into the right wing framing. They lean into the
misogynistic framing in many respects
because
They they just absolutely don't want to frustrate these right wing
These right wing fucking losers and it's kind of crazy
Because that in of itself
Creates an environment where right wing sentiment, especially on the internet, especially in independent content creation
Is is
Unbelievably dominant far more dominant than it is in the real world and it creates a
It creates an environment where more people become right-wing because they think they watch this kind of stuff and they
Develop these habits without even realizing it
And and they think oh no, this is the normal, you know, they don't realize they're part of this feedback loop
Or they think no, this is the normal way to think
You know
that's why my policy always is just be fucking normal and
Say what you think
Yes, sure people will fucking clue you out of context. Sure people will like try to punish you for having a take that's not
a take that people might consider to be
Ridiculous or whatever the fuck, but I think it's way more important to stand by your principles than to lean into this kind of shit
Anyway, it's just engagement bait and insol outreach farming on all sides which includes
these fucking videos covering it.
No one knows any of their relationship dynamics.
Yeah, I'm just giving you my take.
My honest take, okay?
My honest take is that it doesn't seem like a relationship I'd want to be in.
And I feel bad in some respects for Akash, having said that if he's happy, then who cares?
His energy on stand up, he is going to be stepping away from the pod.
It is bittersweet.
You know, we wish that he did not want to do that, but at the same time, you know, it's
very hard not to root for your friends, you know, literally living his dreams.
And if he feels he's got to give everything to that, then that's exactly what he's got
to do.
We're going to rock with them.
continue to rock with him, go check out the show.
We saw the show Radio City.
It's phenomenal.
You guys should absolutely go check out
Akashin.com for tickets.
So we just wanted to, you know, clear the air.
Akashin hasn't been on the pod for a while.
We thought it was time that we, you know,
talk to you guys about it.
Thoughts, boys.
It's bittersweet because this is my brother.
I love him.
I was started, I was here,
game one of this podcast and it's like, all right,
we were started.
Yeah, Fro would have had a field day with a psycho-sexual content on the Average of Sompiker hate post.
Yeah.
And then, wait, he fucking follows it up. I know it's not an insult to him. Lol, he's gonna beat it.
Later, watching it, brother. I don't think I'm the one beating it. Okay?
Acting like the Average of Sompiker doesn't have a similar view of him. They're aware of it.
together and together bad boys for life. Yeah. But yeah, man, I'm proud of them. I'm just
so fucking proud. Like being at Radio City and just seem like just everybody was animated.
Like they loved it. Like, yeah, I'm just proud of him. And I think it's positive for you to
cover whether you wanted or not. You're an online figure that demonstrates the possibility
of nurturing a masculine identity without falling for insanely misogynistic tropes?
Yeah, I guess like the number one thing that I always try to tell people is like,
you know, people could just be fucking dicks, right? Like they can be assholes, right? This lady,
you know, doesn't seem to be that nice. And that's it. She's hot, but not very nice.
It doesn't it doesn't mean that there is like a like a broader
She's not like a representative of all women for example, I think it's an unbelievably stupid fucking approach to take
To anything really I think back to
When we surprised him when I came home from Sweden. Oh, yeah, his reaction
His reaction like he didn't even care the cameras are dead jumped up. Give me the biggest fucking bear hug
I ain't know he was that strong. Yeah. For those of you guys, maybe you're new listeners,
Alex got locked up and we're on tour in Sweden and we didn't tell Akash that he got out. Yeah.
There's an earlier episode where he just
Not chat this ain't it. Hassan has already completely agreed with the toxic framing
because the slop to her shoulder making bait and we're sold. Women can't make jokes.
Dude, when I if I were to hear a man make similar jokes like even when the Akash biz that we saw
again, it's like probably framed in a certain way. But even the Akash shows that we saw from
his stand-up routine still show him as like being in a being in a relationship where he's like,
he recognizes that he's like swinging above his weight class and he'll do anything to make sure
Like, I mean, that's probably a joke too, right?
But if his jokes revolved around how
you know, he was slinging dick around left and right and and his wife
He's just like slinging dick around left and right and he just like dominates his wife or whatever the fuck
I'd be like, it's not very funny. It's kind of feels like
You're a dick kind of feels like you're a bad person like that's the way you choose to present yourself
That's it, burst in the room and Akash sees him for the first time thinking he was in
jail the whole time and Akash just goes crazy and it was just pure love, it was beautiful.
Yeah man.
Yeah.
I love you brother but you know, we'll see each other so it's all good.
Yeah man.
Yeah, it's cool to see all the venues he's selling out and everything that he's doing.
I remember even like when I very first came to New York riding in an Uber with him and
he was talking about this exact thing.
You know, he's like, yeah, I mean, like the pods cook him, but like, I want to be that
guy.
And then now he's doing all the stuff he's done and, uh, him calling, uh, his wife a
bitch, uh, repeatedly.
Yeah.
That's, that's literally in the same framework.
I agree.
And so like it's ridiculous.
Yeah.
I don't think people understand.
Okay.
Your partner, your wife is a part of your person.
Okay.
a team. So when you disrespect your partner, you're disrespecting yourself. I have too
much respect for myself to engage in that. That's it. So yeah, it's cringe all the same.
If you're like, Oh, my bitch ass wife doesn't cook our clean. It's like, what are you the
fuck okay so you just kind of suck like what are you what are you talking about
like why are you in this relationship then if you fucking hate it
if i'm to take it seriously right if we're if we're looking at this stuff sincerely
if there's like a kernel of truth in the commentary and it's not just like someone
doing a bit or whatever it been. Yeah. Yeah. It's just really exciting. Like as a comic,
I think we can understand. It's like, yeah, dude, you have an opportunity. I mean, he's
going to be an MSG like soon. Go get it. It's cool to see. And I remember the very first clip
of this pot I ever saw before I was even on it was premium Pete. Oh yeah.
Okay. So the rest of it is just them reminiscing. They don't even say anything
except Schultz basically said in the beginning like oh Akashat really was
going through it and that's like the implication there is that the the
implication there is that he was just like getting flamed too hard so that's
that's what the people are running with it is really funny at the end of the day
that people are just like oh yeah this guy's a real fucking loser meanwhile he
like sold out radio city. I find it, I find it very strange when, when like people sitting
in their crusty boxes, their homes are like, yeah, this fucking super famous podcast, their
guy who made more money than I ever will fucking see is a real loser dog.
Yeah, he's a real loser, bro. I'm sure, I'm sure maybe if it gets to him, he probably feels that way too.
They didn't just begin with people saying he had his career ruined.
Andrew Dice Clay sold that MSG exactly and he was popping. I don't like his comedy.
I think it's perfectly valid to be like, I don't like your comedy. I think your comedy sucks.
But you know
Yeah, while I find his uh
Well, I find his brand of humor to be fucking awful
You know his
I can't know if he was uh
Having a great time or not
Well at least with like Elon Musk, we know
Alright, at least with Elon Musk
we can make an assessment off of how much he chirps in a specific manner where
like in spite of the billions that he has he's desperate for one thing that he
simply cannot purchase which is admiration from the types of people that
look at him and go you're a fucking loser
Maybe Akasha has a similar framework too?
I don't know.
I don't know enough about him.
And I'll be honest, I don't really care that much, but I'm glad that we dove into this
piece of discourse.
I'm going to cover a couple things about reform before we move on from this, um, specifically
I'm going to talk about reform voters.
Do you like my suit?
Unbelievable, Paul.
You've done well.
I'm Albert, module for Raj.
Give us a high five.
To Raj!
I'm a reform.
Same here.
So what annoys me is that everyone thinks that reform are all about hating immigrants.
No, it's a load of rubbish.
But I think there's so much more to us than that.
Oh, most definitely.
Definitely. What's the risk? What are the reform policies do you like?
Erm...
Erm...
I mean, I can't name off out of some...
Yeah, lad. Fuckin' hell.
Eight the fucking migrants, yeah?
Reform has got a good fucking platform in it.
Right, I can't tell you what he is but I believe in it in my art, right?
Fucking hell to be honest with you. I can't remember them all now. No, no, like give me a second
What are the reform policies do you like them woman in the NHS?
This is the part that killed me when I watched this video they go on to explain
all of the policies that are literally and not on the reform platform at all.
And as a matter of fact, policy that reform is objectively antagonistic to, okay? It is,
it is hog singularity, man. This is just how the Republicans are in America, too. This is how
MAGA is in America as well. You ask MAGA, you're like, so what led you to vote for Donald Trump?
And they just go through a list of issues that Donald Trump has never been in favor of or outright antagonistic to down to the peace president shit.
It's actually not one of our policies. Do you want to cut public services by 150 billion pounds? Wow. Okay.
It's quite a bold statement.
We need to put an end to free healthcare.
Do you think so?
We need to protect the wealthiest.
Yes.
So we need to cut the taxes on things like private education, private healthcare.
Protect the billionaires.
Climate change isn't it?
Oh right, thank you for that.
So we need to put an end to net zero.
I don't really know too much about all that, but yeah.
I think we should ban protests altogether as well.
100%. Obviously people have the right to say what they want to say, but just do it at home, yeah?
Yeah. Do you know how Nigel supported Liz Truss's willy budget? Yes. 100%. We support zero hour contracts.
Yeah. I don't like all this like one week you're working one week, you know. Well, that is actually
a reform policy. Yeah. Protect the world. And then when they're faced with the reality
that this is a reform policy, they end up conceding on it.
These are the people that are going to get more mad once reform does win and implements the shit
that they thought reform wasn't going to implement. And then the more mad they get,
the more they're going to lean into reform Britain this time, who will say,
See now the real problem was reform wasn't violent enough towards the fucking migrants.
I hate this shit so much. I hate it so fucking much. And everyone is responsible for it. Okay.
Or not reform Britain for sorry. Restore Britain. Restore Britain. I said fucking reform. I voted
for reform reform didn't do the fucking anti-margarine initiatives they promised to do now we got
a fucking restore Britain England for the English lad fucking hell they are fascist they only care
about making people they consider inferior to suffer no matter the cost see that's the underlying
sentiment. But I don't think that's actually entirely correct because like, if these guys
were properly educated on what these different parties are offering, okay? And they heard
the entire reform agenda, okay? I don't think that they would vote for reform. They would
make a better cost-benefits analysis here. They would make a better calculation on who
of 04. The problem is, the problem is, the media doesn't also give them this information.
What's the fucking media talking about? Anytime they're talking about the Greens, are they
talking about how the Greens center the working class and their agenda, how the Greens want
to fucking fund the NHS, or the Greens actually want to bring back council homes and shit
like that? Fuck no, they're not talking about that at all. The media class is hyper-focusing
on Zach Paleski being the second coming of Adolf Hitler, despite being the only major party leader
that's Jewish. And for that reason, for that reason, a lot of these guys don't even look to the
mainstream resources anymore. Anyway, and they just go to their own little hug box on the internet
where the independent media is doing the same thing as well.
Well, telling them to be fearful, telling them that like immigrants are the reason why the NHS sucks, immigrants are the reason why the trains don't run on time, immigrants are the reason why there's all these like infrastructure problems that things are more expensive than they used to be.
That you don't have a good job, you don't have good pay, you don't have good benefits. So all immigrants this, immigrants this, immigrants this, they lean into their fears that already exist.
We think it's a good idea to turn this country into a tax haven for the billionaires.
That means not taxing their foreign income.
Well, I think we should all pay our fair amounts of tax.
Do you think those are all good ideas?
Oh yeah, great ideas.
What?
What is this Oh look one of Nigel's candidates admits on camera
fortunately she was being filmed that she wants to privatize the NHS and make an insurance
base you know how like America does in America's can afford it I'm fucking believable.
He wants to introduce a insurance based system for the NHS.
Um, so...
I've never heard that. Yeah, he has said that.
Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, he has.
Um, are you filming me?
Yeah. Please try.
Alright, so Nigel...
Fantastic.
the anti-establishment vote, building of course on racism, particularly pensioners who are
purely reactionary despite labor helping the most, and on Brexit credibility.
Yeah, but it's, they're also leaning further into the same thing that caused them pain.
You know what I mean?
Like Brexit credibility, anyone associated with Brexit should be seen as not credible
any longer, right?
has not been a resounding success for the UK.
It's like Republicans in gun control, right?
A lack of adequate gun control in this country is what is responsible for the gun violence
in this country.
And every time gun violence happens, what do Republicans do?
We need more guns.
They're like, what we need to do is circulate more weapons into the hands of every American.
Okay, well now you're making the problem worse.
At least half of reform support is 65 plus is insane.
Yeah, man, boomers are.
Boomers are terrifying, dude.
They make terrible, terrible decisions.
I don't know how else to explain it.
It's just so fucked.
Anyway, here's one of the other boomer con, pedo con coalitions here in the United States
of America.
What is this new MAGA evangelical leaders gather in Mar-a-Lago to bless and dedicate
a gold statue dedicated to Donald Trump.
What?
I want to make sure everyone can hear.
Okay, sir.
No, is this for real?
It's made up, right?
I don't believe this.
This seems unbelievable.
Anyway, it's got to be AI right anyway, so listen
There's a story in the Bible about this. Yeah, if only the boomers knew how to fucking read I
Cannot believe you're still defending Zach Polanski who wants to ruin a USB without selecting eject
Fuck, I didn't realize that that was the case. I'm so sorry guys
What's next are you gonna tell me wait?
Please don't tell me that he was a spokesperson for the Red Cross like he did a lot of events with the Red Cross
like a lot of fundraisers and
Then said that he was a spokesperson for the Red Cross
But he actually was just a speaker at Red Cross events because if you were to tell me that I'm obviously gonna vote for
Restore Britain
If I'm living in the UK and you mean to tell me
That there is a queer vegan Jewish guy who is aligned with my world view
Almost entirely
But as opposed to Nigel Farage who got five million dollars or five million pounds and fucking bribes
This guy this guy that we're talking about
about. Mayor may not have said that he was a spokesperson for the Red Cross while he
simply was speaking at Red Cross events. I'm probably going to fucking vote for restore
Britain. I've just realized in that moment that what we have to do is stop the boats.
Stop the fucking Bosnian!
U.K. U.S. lives there stuck in the cycle of forecasting losses and neither of them will
take lessons from each other's failures.
U.S. didn't learn from the Brexit vote.
U.K. didn't learn from Trump's 16 win.
Trump didn't, U.S. didn't learn from Starmus Unpopularity.
U.K. didn't learn from Kamala's loss.
Oh my God, that's so true.
There's like a never-ending cycle
Anyway speaking of what happens when
Dog shit candidates get elected in the positions of power
Uh and and ruin every damn thing on the planet
it. Donald Trump, let's get the situation monitoring. Five hours and 30 minutes later,
we monitor the situation in, uh, UK media is like, Zach Polanski is a Jew hater, but
even worse than that, he's a Jew himself. It's true. That is what they're doing. They
literally are doing that. They're like, well, don't you think you deserve the anti-Semitic
hate crimes a little bit? Being Jewish, you know, well, also simultaneously, you are responsible
for the Jew Hatred in this country. Please, don't bring up the fact that there are holocaust
deniers in the reform party. Of course, those are just simply patriotic Britons.
As the U.S. and Iran exchange fire in the Strater for Moose, this morning President Trump insists
The fragile ceasefire between the two countries still holds.
After they strike, is the ceasefire with Iran still on?
Yeah, it ends it said.
They trifled with us today.
We blew them away.
They trifled.
They call that a trifle.
They trifled with us.
The administration says that Iran-
New word on Lock for Trump.
You know he's going to get a lot of utility out of it.
By the way, I didn't realize that my statement would reveal one of the most devastating ratios
of all time.
Ted Cruz turned around and quote retweeted me that this is you, the Democrats are campaigning
alongside the, the is openly calling for violent revolution to which I fucking quote retweeted.
It's a JFK quote.
You went to Harvard, you know better 41,000 likes.
Oh my god to his 700 likes
You see they never agreed to a cease-trifle
Seize fire they agreed to but cease-trifle it's a different thing many don't know this but a trifle is very different than firing
You see you were at the top of the PBS roundtable. Some people thought you were a benefit to Corey Joe want to ask you wait this
Demographic about a son piker. He's a he streams. I guess and is it called twitch twitch. Yeah, very popular
He's very popular and he's been in the news quite a bit recently
He came to town to PBS China be me bro piker bro as these surveys bro the people's brochage XS subscribers subscribe
to independent media. Stump campaign for Corey Bush who wants her seat in
Congress back. She's up against the incumbent Wesley Bell. He got a pretty
good crowd about a thousand people there and about 200 people you report. We're
getting their selfies with him. But he has been accused of some anti-Semitic
language and I'm thinking that he probably doesn't help Corey Bush raise
money in certain groups. I think a lot of people in Clayton and elsewhere were
writing checks to Wesley Bell once Hassan Piker came to town to campaign for Cory Bush.
He's certainly a polarizing figure. You either like what he does very much or you don't like
what he does. Some of his statements that 9-11 America got what it's deserved, Hamas is 1,000
times better than Israel. And he said these statements. I mean, so he's kind of cute.
I love this. This is cute as hell. They got like local reporters, a bunch of boomers sitting around. It's awesome.
The question is to where Mr. Piker stands on issues, and Cory Bush brought him into town to help her in her re-election campaign.
It was also tied in with the May Day, May 1st protest, but he was quite the celebrity, at least for a certain group.
Most all of them under 30. Most of them, it seemed like even in their early 20s.
And so when the march started to conclude the rally, they hung around to talk with him and get
selfies and ask for autographs. And so he's a celebrity. And Ms. Bush used his celebrity,
I guess, to energize her campaign. Yeah, I see this as this is a win for her. I get what you're
saying about how this is going to, you know, a lot of people are going to write checks to Wesley
Bell because they're so offended that that Corey brought in this man. But I think she needs to
energize this young base of people who don't pay attention to politics through traditional
channels.
They are not watching Donnie Brooke.
I hate to break it to y'all.
What they are is they are on Twitch and they like what this guy is doing.
Well now Donnie Brooke's on Twitch.
Perfect.
For better or for worse.
And so she needs to get these 19 year olds.
This is maybe their first time voting.
They're going to be all wound up about voting for her.
That's more important to her than losing the donors who she's already lost.
Maybe so.
in her case. Okay. Her husband had been accused of theft or defrauding the good.
That's literally, you're a journalist, man. Come on. That's not what happened. Also,
it's an accusation regardless, and it's not even the correct accusation. Jesus Christ.
And Hassan Piker recently was on The New York Times. None of these people realize that your
audience is all over 30. My audience on Twitch is definitely older than they perceive, but
No, it's, it's, dude, come on.
We're out in the fucking real world.
You see it like the audience, normal people that are watching or like they come to
these rallies, they're not all fucking over 30.
That's not the case at all.
Plenty of them are under the age of 30.
Podcast at the end of April.
And he said, the question is, would you steal?
And he said, yes, he would steal from the Lube.
He would steal from corporations.
He would steal from Whole Foods.
And he justifies stealing it from corporations because of course they always have their foot on the neck of the average guy, right?
And I'm thinking I'm not sure that's the message that Cory Bush wants to send to this. Oh, I think Sarah's right that
She needs to energize her people. Oh my god. No one is no one is biting
What is this audience every single person in this audience every single person on this round table is like nice fucking dope
Actually, what the fuck? I did not expect this at all
Not from this group. Teen takeovers. Every time the old heads or traditional media talks
about how Sampakar is always like, I don't know who he is. I've heard accused. I don't
watch you, but I'm going to believe the negative libel regardless. Like do a comer research,
some research. I feel sorry for the tornado victims, but who told them the gentleman abstain
because he lived too close? You all might want to go actually get Piker a watch. I watch
was on quite often. I'm 53. I think those of us watching as our reps high and low sit on their
hands while Bezos, UHC, Kimberly Clarks of the world rip off common people whose comments resonate.
That said, while they didn't hear the specific comments mentioned, he's extremely sharp and
well read on most of what he tackles. I'd guess they were to be taken more symbolically than
literally. And I, like many others don't consider anti-Israel comments to be blanketed as anti-Semitic
as they often are and this does it I mean and the fact that you and I do these
guys are fucking awesome I love the fits this is this is cute as hell I
are you taking back always like stealing or he's anti-Semitic you know we're not
Cory Bush's audience we're not the people she needs to reach so I think
that this was a good move on her part I don't think it's enough well that's what
I was going to say, Oh my God, they're so cute. Oh my God.
That he literally are just like, yeah, you know, maybe he's a little anti-semitic.
Maybe he loves Steph, but obviously that's what the youth want.
That's so funny. That's not,
that's crazy. That's not what the youth want.
And that's not what I'm giving the youth, my man,
but it's cool that they're just, they're still like, I don't know anymore.
I don't know anymore, you know
I think you know desperate times calls the desperate measures and I'd like I guess the good news
I thought she'd lose by ten points. I think so lose by nine now
I mean, I just don't think this one is even gonna be close. I will throw in that her husband was
Quitted
Okay, so right and that's the feds and if anybody wanted to throw in jail it was probably Cory Bush's husband
So they must not have had much of a case, but I, you know, I just, it's, it's,
why are they so confident that was the bill is going to be popping? Like that I don't understand.
Like people fucking hate, uh, was the bill like that in the district, they hate was the ball.
I wonder why they're like, I don't think it has any impact on this race really, because
that horse is out of the barn. I mean, that's, look, she is not winning that block of votes
ever, ever, ever. So, I mean, that's just... I think she benefited from having some voters who,
surprisingly, were actually more conservative when she was trying to topple Lacey Clay because she
got people who were like, okay, I want to get this guy out of here. And so they came to join her
coalition and she had the progressives and the people who are pro-shoplifting and then she had
had some people who are like, throw the bomb out. And it was a nice. Oh my God.
That's an unbelievably racist take. By the way, pro shoplifting voters voted for
Corey Bush. That's Jesus Christ. Okay. That went, that went from cute to maybe
not so cute. Like, accuse me of being pro shoplifting. That's fine. I don't give a
shit. I'll take it. But,
but don't, you know, don't assume that Corey Bush's voter base or pro shop
That's kind of weird.
What is this? Imagine blowing off a candidate. Oh, Wesley Bell skips candidate form with
Cory Bush. Kyle Blumquist for US Congress.
So imagine blowing off a candidate for me to describe the organization every effort
to accommodate your schedule. Imagine disrespecting voters and volunteers to avoid answering
their questions in contrast to the opponent. Now imagine doing it 13 times. Welcome to
Michigan's first district.
Yeah, the problem is, in districts like this, money to interest talks, right? They talk like this
about you, but they have no idea that you know what the word cussing means. Once the officer
realized that, it's over for you, my guy. I just, I think the reason why they're so confident in
and Wesley Bell is because like he's got big money behind him, right? Or enough. He's got
sufficient. He's got sufficient sums of money backing him.
I'm not a big deal. I've done it too. So, just saying, talk about some of this for a
a little bit. First of all, let's zoom out. Redistricting in Tennessee, North Carolina,
Texas. Yeah, bro, you invented speaking at the University of Chicago, Institute of Politics.
Thank you. That's that was the point I was making. Yes, I invented. No, I invented the
University of Chicago. I invented Chicago. I invented going to Chicago. Florida, Missouri,
none of that challenged or overturned by the courts despite very clear and
brazen constitutional violations such as in the state of Florida right but that
you know they bought they bought their courts and so it's not going through but
what the difference is here in the state of Virginia is that all those other
states are just listed those maps were passed by their state legislatures
Virginia was an election of three million Americans.
This court did not overturn a map.
It overturned an election.
An election.
And when we talk about the balance of power
and a system of checks and balances,
it's one thing for a court to check a legislature or an executive,
But the end all and be all of power in America should be the people elections
It should end the results was
clear and
So I think it was close. It actually is pretty close. It was close, but it was clear. This was not
Axel chud
Why you got to do this?
Why is it that there is this centrist liberal commentary at tendency to be like well actually
Doesn't matter man. The majority is the fuck a majority. That's how votes work
What is what is with people like this where they just
They will undercut
Their own argument ahead of time
It makes no dang sense
a rather recount situation, it was clear, close but clear.
And we are in an era of a very real constitutional crisis
about the limits of power.
Because what do you do, what do you do in a situation?
Like three million, I mean, I think that, you know,
And my understanding too, Keem Jeffries issued a statement today saying that this is not
over and they are currently exploring their options here, which I look forward to.
Stop linking the fucking clip of me with the grandma situation, okay?
Please, Jesus Christ, you had her.
See, what?
Why?
What do you want me to do?
Click on your link that you keep spamming over and over again of me saying something
earlier today?
outcomes for that are, but I don't think that we should take this sitting down.
Let me ask you, just last thing up.
John, AOC believes in bourgeois democracy, Chad, Chris, Rab wants to abolish the Constitution.
AOC and David Axelrod, I heard, yeah, that there was a 2028 conversation taking place
year as well. Hold on, I got to pee while this plays.
The last thing before we go to the students because I would be drawn and
quartered if I did not say this. There are a lot of people who would like you to
run for president in 2020.
Apparently some of them are here and there are people who there are others
who would like you to run for the United States Senate, Senator Schumer's up in 2028.
I don't know, it sounded like even more.
Should we do it again?
Should you go to New York or to other parts of the country?
How many would like AOC to stay in Congress?
see
They want you to make a move
What say you about all of this
you know, it's funny because in this op-ed that
Jeff Bezos paid for in the Washington Post
There's this line you had mentioned earlier that will have the potential 2028 contender
X, Y, Z. And in the context of that, it was very clear this was a veiled threat, right?
So the elite saying, if you want this job, you just stepped out of line.
And we want you to know where the real power is.
And it's in the modern day barons who own the post and own the algorithms and we're
gonna you make an example of you and what's funny about that is that they
assume that my ambition is positional they assume that my ambition is a title
or a seat and my ambition is way bigger than that my ambition is to change this
country.
Bars. Bars.
Presidents, come and go.
Senate, house seats, elected officials, come and go.
But single-payer health care is forever.
A living wage is forever.
Work is right for forever, women's rights, all of that.
And so anyways, to a finer point to your question,
is that when you aren't attached, right?
When you haven't been like fantasizing
about being this or that since the time you were seven
years old, it is tremendously liberating.
Because I get to wake up every day and say,
How am I going to meet the moment?
And conditions change radically all the time.
Great position, by the way.
Did not answer the question at all for the record.
So I make my response less to an attachment
to some positional, like title or position,
and working backwards from there.
But I make decisions by waking up in the morning,
looking out the window, and observing
the conditions of this country and saying what moves or what decision can I make today
that is going to get us closer to that future stronger, faster, better than yesterday.
She bobbed and weaved like the best of them and by that I mean Donald Trump who is the
best at the bobbing and the motherfucking weaving.
Um, that's the most long winded way for a policy to say, I don't know, maybe who knows.
I mean, I, I, I think it was a good answer, regardless, like, uh, that, that, you know,
what we need to do is build a movement and that type of thing.
Right.
Like that, because that's what she's saying there.
And it's good because I agree with her.
I also think that it's like I also do think that it's far too early for these sorts of talks and I
hate it. Anyway, let's get to the king of bobbing and weaving not being able to weave his way out of
this cease-trifle.
When fired unprovoked on three American Navy destroyers
in the strait, the US swiftly hitting back.
The president telling me in a phone call, quote,
it's just a love tap.
But Iran does not see it that way,
now accusing the US of violating the ceasefire,
promising to deliver a crushing response
if US attacks continue.
With uncertainty over the war,
the president leaving the White House
for an unannounced stop,
bringing cameras along with him to the National Mall,
showing reporters the blue coating
he's installing on the floor of the reflecting pool outside the Lincoln
Memorial. I asked the president why he was focused on the renovations amid the
ongoing war and as gas prices rise, the president brushing off the question
calling it a disgrace. You aren't here against the backdrop of the war in
Iran. Why focus on all these projects right now? I want to keep our country
beautiful and safe with the straight up her moves closed sources say the US and
Iran are now attempting to hammer out a framework that would give the two
countries 30 days to hold deeper negotiations. But the future of Iran's nuclear program
remains a major sticking point. President Trump has insist that the country needs to
commit to not developing a nuclear weapon. Telling me it's either going to happen or
they're going to get the hell bombed out of them.
You won't have to know. If there's no ceasefire, you're not going to have to know. You just
have to look at one big glow coming out of Iran.
And this morning, the Washington Post is reporting that a CIA analysis shows Iran can outlast
the U.S. blockade for at least three to four months before suffering severe economic consequences.
ABC News has not independently verified that report, but the president told me he is in
no rush to make a deal and he is not setting a new deadline.
Yeah, and it sounds like it's going to take some kind of tangible benefit here.
Yeah, that was a new threat.
Okay, Rachel, thank you.
Good to have you.
We expect a response from Iran today.
Those are the words of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio regarding a U.S. proposal submitted
to Iran to end the war.
Rubio made the comments after meeting Pope Leo and Italian Prime Minister
Giorgio Maloney in Rome.
Rubio says he's hopeful the response from Tehran will push forward
diplomatic efforts.
We should know something today. I mean, we're expecting a response from them.
We'll see what the response entails.
The hope is that something that it can put us into a serious process of negotiation.
Rubio's optimism follows a night of back-and-forth attacks
in the Strait of Hormuz, testing an already shaky ceasefire.
The US says Iran launched drones and missiles
against its naval fleet.
Iran says Washington targeted one of its oil tankers
and hit several coastal areas with airstrikes.
Rubio says US actions were merely retaliatory.
If you fired a US Navy ship, what are we supposed to do?
Say, oh, there's a ceasefire.
We're not going to shoot down your drone.
That's a stupid question.
That's a stupid position to take.
Of course, we fired back at them.
They were shooting at us.
That's what I would expect to do.
only stupid
No, the decision is that you are moving military assets
through this region while there's supposed to be no military assets moving through this region in violation of the
current ceasefire
Stupid countries don't shoot back when you're shot at and we're not a stupid country
No, correspondents are covering all the moving parts of this story. First, Mike Hannah in Washington DC
Well, we don't know what's in that 14-point memorandum of understanding which was sent
to reportedly via the mediators to the Iranians.
We are told and do understand from some administration officials that, yes, the question of nuclear
armament is part of those 14 points.
There is suggested to be a moratorium on the enrichment of Iranian uranium, for example.
There's also discussions about the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. Lifts its blockade, and
Iran opens free passage to all ships through the Strait without tolls.
Now those are reports about what is in the proposal.
We do not have confirmation that those facts are in fact in it.
But it would be very surprising if President Trump authorized any proposal that did not
specify some form of nuclear reduction or nuclear disarmament.
He has said repeatedly that one of his red lines is that Iran pledged it will not become
a nuclear power now or ever.
He's asking for a total commitment from Iran not to develop its nuclear weaponry.
And Al-Maghdad Al-Ruhayyad has been following reaction from Tehran.
The leaders here linking the array pressure on the threat of hummus with the diplomatic
a path because they are saying basically you cannot force us by pressure when the diplomatic
on the table diplomacy is open. This is what has been said in the past few hours. And also
they are saying that this pressure on naval blockade, on naval presence, on this back
and fourth escalation and attacks from the United States Navy is leading to a quagmire,
not leading to any kind of diplomacy. So they are also seeing a contradiction from the United
States rhetoric, United States residents and United States officials saying several times
they are open to political.
Lex, nice white lady.
Stop fighting in the chat.
I'm going to ban both of you guys.
If you keep fighting in the chat, I'm going to suspend both of you.
What the fuck is this?
Stop fighting.
No more drama in the chat.
Where to God, it's the goddamn day care in here.
Lucian, but at the same time, the Iranians saying that there's a contradiction on this rhetoric because they are saying saying a pressure on them on the region a pressure on the Gulf naval blockade.
the back-and-forth escalation trying to up in the Strait of Hormuz by force, all these
issues are not acceptable for the Iranians and saying that this is our right to control
this strategic torque point after this war, because they are saying that the condition
in the Strait of Hormuz will not be back to the pre-war norms.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Raqqi has issued a statement on X saying, every time a diplomatic
solution is on the table. The US opts for a reckless military adventure. Is it a crude
pressure tactic? Or the result of a spoiler? Once again, jeeping potus into another quagmire.
Whatever the causes, outcome is the same. Iranians never bow to pressure. Also, the CIA is wrong.
Our missile inventory and launcher capacity are not at 75% compared to February 28th. The
The correct figure is 120%.
That's for our readiness to defend our people, 1,000%.
Mark Kibbutt is a retired US general
and a former assistant secretary of state
for political and military affairs.
Earlier, he told my colleague, Per Neubeck,
he says the US may have miscalculated
Iran's tactic of playing the long game in this war.
The nature of their wars of resistance is
they just take the punches.
They just keep getting punched
and punched, they're very resilient.
and they say, we can outlast you.
Sort of like the Rocky fight,
where Rocky kept taking the punches.
But the question is the same.
Is there a better way, then,
instead of just keep on punching like Rocky,
is there a way for Rocky to take off his gloves
and walk over and say, hey, come on, let's talk?
So to answer your question directly on the issue of,
is this the right way to fight,
I would say Vietnam didn't work same conditions.
Afghanistan didn't work same conditions.
The United States military really hasn't taken grip
of how to fight a war of resistance.
And it's unfortunate because we call it
the body count fallacy.
We believed in Vietnam, the more you kill,
the more you're gonna win.
But we're seeing the same thing here
in how we're fighting against Iran.
We think that the more rocket launchers we take out,
the more ships we sink,
the more military units are destroyed, that somehow the some of those that
do you think the admin really thinks they have the upper hand despite Iran obviously holding
the cards or do you think the admin believes that Iran will bend the knee under pressure
in spite of the fact that they seem to be very willing to hold the ground
um i think that donald trump wants to pack this up he's wanted to pack this up for a while
But the external pressure that he's receiving from Israel and the internal pressure he feels about having to hold a fat L is
What's keeping him in this battle regardless of the fact that he knows it's lost
Yes, I do think that they know that this is not going the way that they wanted it to go
It's like everything if we can interpret or analyze something
here on
the broadcast without having access to information intelligence assessments and like satellite imagery that that the CIA has that the State Department has that the Pentagon has
then you think they don't know of course they know.
We're making out shapes off of commercial satellite imagery.
Okay, we're speculating off of what we have seen.
What Iran's capability seems to be.
So of course they know everything that we know.
And more, Jonathan Lamere, co-host of Morning Joe from MSNOW, Staff Writer at the Atlantic
writes, President Trump is desperate for the war with Iran and energy price are up, his
polls are down, few US military goals have been achieved, Trump doesn't want to resume
hostility so he keeps punting his deadlines and Tehran is calling his bluff.
I believe it.
I think there's two competing, or not competing pressures, but two pressures here.
One is the pressure from Israel to continue this war, and two, the pressure internally
within Trump, within Trump's mindset to not hold an L. Those two pressures is what's
keeping this war effort from ending.
Everyone absolutely is aware that it's a wash.
Everyone knows that this is a failure.
an unambiguous defeat.
They're stretching the phrase, tactical success to the limits of the English language.
You're all set to go, US military officer radioed as the ship glided to the ship to
Hormuz.
Save travels soon after Iran opened fire.
What happened when Trump tried to pry open the strait?
The mission showed that even small tactical successes can morph in the broader strategic
challenges, military analysts said.
US military extricated a pair of vessels but triggered an escalation from Iran that reinforces
grip on the world's most important energy shipping line.
Also they did so they didn't.
They got, they got one vessel out in a panic state and they got peppered by the Iranian
Navy's go-fast boats, and possible drones, and they had the retreat.
Hardly a victory, I think.
Yeah, we we failed to achieve our objectives of forcibly reopening the
Strait of Hormuz, but and we also really frustrated our enemy and tightened
script over the Shred of Hormos, but guess what? We did that tactical style.
Pieces of destruction will somehow reach to victory and it just hasn't. So if I
understand you correctly I mean you've spent many many years at the heart of the US military machine
why is the US not learning these lessons from Vietnam or Afghanistan like you mentioned
I wonder that too do you have a responsibility there as a general yeah well first of all in
and retired, but I mean, yes, otherwise I wouldn't be in this God dang, God dang news channel.
I'd be on CNN, like my counterpart, spider rapist, many others as number one, number
two.
Look, I've given you a better answer than what this general guy is going to say here,
which is that all of those other previous wars did not lead to global catastrophe in
the way that this one has. Wars, by the American perspective, are not meant to be won. They're
meant to continue. But while those wars continue, you can justify larger and larger contracts
for the, for the defense industry, for the contractors, for the military industrial complex.
As long as the other side doesn't have the capacity to turn this into a global incident,
or do it in a way where it's like utterly humiliating for America's force projection
capabilities. That's why in many of those instances people said, like in Iraq, for example,
Oh, America won the war, but lost the peace. Right? America won the battle, but failed to win the
peace. That's bullshit. Their goal never was beyond extracting oil with American companies. Like,
their goal wasn't to, to actually build a puppet state, or rather, if that was their goal, they
they didn't really try to achieve it at all. They liked that it was a continuous occupation
that required more and more resources to flow, more and more tax dollars to be justified
in the direction of the military industrial complex. This is different. The reason why
why it's different is because the opposition has been able to hold back the American forces
from achieving their strategic military objectives. And it's also different because the Iranian
side has been able to punish the global economy. This is not a local incident. This is not
Afghanistan. This is not Iraq. This is now a battle being waged over the
Strait of Formos and therefore the entire planet's energy supply, at least
20% of it, and the entire energy supply for, you know, the the eastern
hemisphere. That's why it's different. The answer is, we have seen this time
time after time after time in the U.S. military. And part of the problem is the legacy of the
Cold War. We trained, manned and equipped the U.S. military to fight a similar military
style, the Russian Soviet Army. We had tanks, they had tanks. The Russians, the Soviets
actually used a mathematical equation called the correlation of forces. They say if we
We want to bust through this particular area.
We have to have this amount of stuff, but that's different than a war of resistance.
The problem is, or the issue is, the United States believes that the most conventional
threats, now China, we have to be fully ready for that, but when we have these lesser included
warfare like wars of resistance, we can shift not only our thinking but our equipment and
or fighting style, and we just haven't done that that well.
Of course, we're still waiting for the official.
He said, you know, it's really hard to fight a counterinsurgency.
Yeah, it is.
But this is different than Vietnam.
This is different than Afghanistan, and it's different than Iraq, because America doesn't
care about how longstanding and difficult of a conflict it is to fight any counterinsurgency.
It was just as much a war of survival for the Taliban as it was for the Iraqi insurgency,
as it was for the North Vietnamese, as it is the same in Iran.
The wage is offensive and oftentimes colonial battles.
The enemy, on the other hand, is fighting a war of survival.
That's always the case.
The difference in this situation is that the impact of this war is global.
So all eyes are on America.
triggered events that led to Iran closing the Shredda Hormuz, that led to a global energy
crisis. That's the major difference. So this, in this circumstance, it actually escalated
to a degree where it became a global issue. So response from Iran, because we haven't heard a
No, it's still not a no to that proposal from the U.S.
But I'm wondering this miscalculation, if you could call it that, is it a political one
or is it a military one, as Iran has still not bowed to the demands of the U.S.?
Well, let's see. Well, first of all, remember, the original 14-point plan that came from Iran
or 14 sets of demands that the Iranians were making on the US, and now the US has responded
to their demands with a set of demands.
And then we're going to see whether that turns into negotiations.
This is just bargaining.
The souk is open.
We're trying to figure out the price.
And the price, what we're really trying to do right now is agree, we're negotiating
on negotiations.
It's the framework that we will take to the table and we say, we're not going to discuss
this issue, don't even think of bringing it up the negotiating table.
This notion that somehow the United States is going to pull out of the region.
That's not going to happen.
And correspondingly, the Americans are saying they're making in certain cases some equally
ridiculous demands as well.
And AOC went on this podcast and talked about how, and this is a viral clip.
You might like this.
AOC is the long explanation to why are you so controversial in physics.
And my question is, why do you think you're such a controversial polarizing figure?
I think a couple of reasons.
I think from a power perspective, of course, when you're challenging power, when you're
challenging the concentration of wealth, you know, when you fight really entrenched power,
that power will fight you back.
And when you are aiming at the vice grip of the people who own media companies and the
people who own a lot of institutions, they're going to make you controversial, right?
The goal is that they know that the message is potent, and so they can't be seen attacking
the message, because that makes them look bad. So what they can do is attack the messenger.
Hmm. Interesting takes. Hmm.
They do this to you? Well, I know. And I've also given this exact same answer before. That's why
why I said interesting.
And so if you make me or any person who says similar things
as controversial as possible, then
you can stigmatize those opinions in the American public.
I think about when President Obama had this moment when
he was talking about people of these huge science of industry,
that you didn't build that alone.
moment, and it was this huge controversy at the time, it was the same thing, like what
he was saying, he was right.
He was right.
And so you have to create controversy in order to disrupt truth.
Because if people hear it straight, then they're going to agree with you and that is bad for
the powers that be.
So I think there's a certain incentive from that perspective.
And they want you to think like, oh, he just, he or she just didn't say it right or didn't
include all the points or, you know, they will, you know, exploit whatever thing.
There will never, newsflash, there will never be an uncontroversial messenger for challenging
the structures of power that are keeping wages low.
Like that person, where me or anybody else is always going to be in the sights, right?
Then the second thing is that I think it's not just personal to me, but I think my presence
as a person who was a waitress, I'm like the, it's like I slipped through the cracks.
I'm not supposed to be there and according to them, right?
And I'm not, and I'm not bought.
I don't take corporate money.
The average donation to my campaign is $16.
In two years, there's maybe been eight max out checks
of like $2,500 to my campaign.
And, you know-
I'm bought and I'm bossed.
I think that there's a real class aspect to this.
I think there's a lot of people that really believe that if you don't make a lot of money,
it's reflective of your intelligence, it's reflective of your capacity as a human being.
And I think that there's a very real built-in denigration and devaluing of people because
because of the class that they're in, and of course I'm a woman, and of course I'm Latina.
And so, and I'm from the Bronx, yes, and so it means that, it means that my near existence
is inherently subversive in the place that I am.
And so, I mean, listen, it's, it's misogyny.
I miss what she said.
Is there a way to rewind?
Great question.
Yes, you can rewind the Piker Broadcasting Service
by subscribing.
You can also support independent media
by gifting a sub to others so they can rewind as well.
Thank you.
Support the Piker Broadcasting Service
for tomorrow's news today.
People's Broadcasting Service. For you the people, by you the people. Thank you.
Politics is like one of the strongest forces that exist. And it's not like just, it might even come up baked in biases.
It's just also a form of structural power. You're challenging power.
And the way, you know, when you are wielding power on behalf of your constituency, it looks different.
I think sometimes it's inherently seen as very disruptive because I don't approach power in a patriarchal way.
I don't believe, you know, in domination, authoritarianism, in top-down leadership.
I believe you wheeled it differently and it breaks people.
And also don't act in the way that women are supposed to act in a society like this.
Like you're coming at me crazy, I'm not going to be differential to you.
My job is not to make me.
I think we need more of this. This is like, I think, I think there's a tendency amongst
a lot of commentators who my love and admire and I'm honored to call my peers, where we're
a little bit too involved in what we do. And we think like, oh, AOC has to come on my show.
AOC has to go on this show, that show, right?
However, there is one good take
that Crystal Ball had on this issue.
Not to say that this is a make or break it kind of
circumstance for AOC to just do independent media
or even do contentious media environments.
But I do think training in real time,
in somewhat contentious environments is a good thing.
It doesn't have to be, you know, a specific podcast that she goes on.
And I don't even think it's necessarily important to just go on podcasts.
It certainly doesn't hurt.
But I think doing the podcast route or doing this kind of stuff will absolutely, will absolutely
aid AOC and any other democratic hopeful in getting sharper and faster and more coherent
with their message than or anyone else. You know, my, my, you know, like,
because like this is, this is really good. This was a really good
a good response. This was a really good response. And I think she'll only get better. I see
this even in myself. Like, compare one of my first ever off-the-cuff speeches to, like,
this speech I delivered last night, and you see that I've gotten far better at it. If
If I do say so myself, I'm going to toot my own horn here.
And I think it's a skill that you develop.
And the only way that you can do it is by just doing it over and over again.
And the more I do it, the more confident I get as well.
And the more confident I get, the better I get at delivering those speeches.
That shit don't help Nick Shirley.
Okay.
Well, I think he has a severe limitation.
He doesn't have enough, uh, semi conductors, doesn't have enough microchips.
He doesn't have the processing capability.
Okay.
very little Ram and the straight-of-hormuzes closed so there's no new
Ram that he can purchase he can't download additional Ram hey I'm a little
guy put me down hawkers you're shook
and I don't say this in a gender war kind of context it's just that we have a
I saw a clip of Nick responding to you earlier saying he's not stupid.
Wait, really? Where? That's awesome. I call him medically stupid.
I see it in you too as you constantly will challenge anyone who adds you in here.
I mean, it's not just even in here. I think it's a different skill to like respond to someone in real
response. I want in real time. I'm sure it helps.
I think you see super power in 2020 days that a bunch of terminally online Republicans and
addicts of foxes who convinced himself ASC's dumb or extreme totally underestimated
And they don't have any clue just what a powerful and inspiring communicator she is and how
much ordinary Americans with those Republican base voters will be impressed by our mission
statement.
Yeah, but that is the requirement for that, that message to be prescient is bravery.
Okay.
And also, a no nonsense attitude, just don't take any shit, be yourself, be confident in
yourself and and uh match people's energy for sure. Glenn Beck. I don't know if you know who
I'm sure you do. Hassan Piker is um but he responded to you and says I obviously don't
believe this even a little bit this year last post you know that went to Cuba to document the
humanitarian crisis blah blah blah. I don't even buy this a little bit but it is ominous that this
medically stupid, he called you a foul name, is going to Cuba to manufacture propaganda
for what I assume will be additional U.S. intervention.
How do you respond to that?
Well, he's the same person who went to Cuba with Ilhan Omar's daughter to promote what
was taking communism inside of Cuba.
Please tell me he's going to respond to this now and be like, I'm not stupid.
he actually went on a paid trip from a paid trip
Yeah, paid isn't I paid for it motherfucker. What do you mean a paid trip organization to go to Cuba?
Yeah, he saw what I saw my own two eyes and he thought still a good idea to promote communism and socialism inside a country that is letting
There letting the children starve letting the field go without internet
They didn't have access to freedom of speech inside this country yet
he still wants to promote that. And so he's going to call me stupid. Meanwhile, he's seeing
what I'm seeing. I'm seeing Joseph suffer. I'm seeing a civilization. I mean, yeah,
it is stupid because I also saw people suffer. But between you and I actually knew what the
leading cause of that suffering was.
The American oil embargo.
The blockade.
And that is depressed has no hope left in their eyes. And yet he's still advocating for more of that I
Do feel like he's like the anti-curricist facial features are too big. That's funny. I'm not stupid
He's stupid
I do think that we now live in a media environment where it just doesn't really matter like as long as someone is just
Agreeing with your your bias narrative your bias framework. That's it
people people just like slot themselves in the camps and
No matter how dumb you might be
No matter how brilliant someone is
Most people will say, you're a fucking idiot, you suck, you're violent, whatever, and no
matter how dumb someone is, if they're in agreement with that person, they'll be like,
no, he's great.
He's awesome.
He's based.
He's doing God's work.
He's doing honest work here.
Nick Shirley is proof of that, right?
Nick Shirley is proof of that because he is objectively medically stupid.
Nick Shirley has his freedom of speech oppressed by his literacy capacity.
Also, that shadow was wrong. He never says he's not stupid.
He actually kind of recognizes how stupid he is, in my opinion.
The next article Fox News going to print about you is going to be on your ableism.
Yeah, we're making the reactionaries woke piece by piece, okay?
One by one, every single day, we're making these unbelievably reactionary, racist, awful
people with repugnant politics woke.
They're talking about the same, the same people that were like talking about the Wuhan flu
or whatever and now talking about how I'm like an anti-Asian racist.
They're saying hashtag stop Asian hate.
The RNC's research department, dude.
The RNC research department was like hashtag stop Asian hate.
You accidentally closed the ACQ and I know, I just want to watch this.
And so when it comes to eyes, I think it's where both of these elements meet.
Because this is the major controversy now, right?
Like, she said billionaires can't earn a billion dollars, which is true.
I mean, even in the age of inflation, sure, there's like some wage billionaires now, which
is crazy to even think.
But it's not, it's such an unbelievable rarity that it doesn't even matter.
Like, it's just more often than not, if you've made a billion dollars, if your net worth
is above a billion dollars, then you have exploited other people, okay?
You've taken advantage of stealing their surplus labor value.
You've cut corners.
Yes, LeBron is a wage billionaire, I know.
it's like eight people total would be considered wage billionaires.
Because in an era of extreme income inequality, I exploded, you gave them jobs.
Exploitation in the Marxist sense is actually a technical term for the record. Obviously,
there's a flavor associated with it. There's a negative connotation associated with it.
But exploitation, not explosion, by the way, but exploitation is in the Marxist term, chatter,
the extraction of surplus labor value. That's all it is. Simply put, you and your boss,
you and your business owner, right, have an inverse relationship with conflicting goals,
conflicting interests. You want to work the least amount of time for the most amount of pay,
right? But your boss wants you to work the most amount of time for the least amount of pay that
that you can get away with paying you. Okay? Obviously, in this circumstance, your boss
is the one who wins that battle every single time. Okay? So, whatever you get paid is always
going to be less than your actual output than your actual value that you're providing
to your workplace, whether it be a blue collar job
or a white collar job.
That extra off the tippy top is called profits.
Marx has considered that to be,
or it's called surplus labor value.
When it's extracted from you, okay,
and your boss pockets it, that's called profit.
We call that exploitation.
Ah, and and we call that theft
Do you understand?
Considering you thought when I said exploited you meant exploded I
Don't think you will understand what I'm saying here. Yes, sir. Wait you did. Oh
Oh my god, did that work? Did you actually understand the point I was making?
Holy shit.
No explosions.
I did, sir. Oh, wow. Hell yeah.
I don't think it's a coincidence that this xenophobia and anti-immigrant feeling is happening
at the same time as record levels of income inequality.
I also feel this way about Jim Crow and racism and all of this stuff, which is that when
there is so much economic insecurity, I don't want to say it's a driver, right?
I want to be very clear about that.
But I want to say that in the mix of deep racism and all of this, in the mix of that,
When you feel like you could be next, when you feel like you are one accident away from
losing your house and losing everything, you kind of, there is the lesser impulse of us
is to subjugate or to feel like there is another class of people that is below you.
That I'm not bad, right?
systems. Was there ever any system ever in history that did not exploit the masses of the benefit of
the few? I mean pre-enclosures, primitive accumulation, which is technically a much longer
period of time, a much more period of history where humans existed, where there was no such incentives.
Now, I'm not saying we got to go back to that.
I don't think anyone actually, well, anarcho-primitivists do agree.
I'm not one of those people.
But it's a pretty good, pretty good way to tackle the issue that this is just human nature.
example I used to use back in the day is always the idea that like a man did not invent wheel
man did not invent the wheel so that they could sell it right or when they figured out how to
manipulate fire they didn't do that for some kind of profit incentive in mind the idea that the
The profit incentive is natural, is a byproduct of capitalist dogma.
Require us.
Capitalism and what have you, our society requires us to internalize the failures of
our systems to your point, right?
It's not the school that filled the kids, it's that you're the dropout.
It's not that Walmart pays less than a living wage.
It's that I'm poor and I didn't work hard enough, so I didn't earn a better station
in my life.
It's, you know, clean out your yogurt containers to recycle them rather than tax fossil fuel
companies.
That's right.
And so what happens is like when you have these systems, when you have corporations,
you have an economic elite.
They have not.
There's a certain level of wealth and accumulation
that is unearned, right?
You can't earn a billion dollars.
That's right.
You just can't earn that.
That's exactly correct.
You can you can get market power.
You can break rules.
You can do all sorts of things.
You can abuse labor laws, you can pay people less than what they're worth, but you can't earn that, right?
And so you have to create a myth.
The neat little bull wrapped around this argument is always the myth of meritocracy. If
the entire thing that held the glue, the social glue that held together,
theocratic monarchies was the idea that God or organized religion, some form of
God, was what gave the king his divine right. The current lie, if that's a lie
and we understand that to be a lie, right? The current lie that allows people to
have the same level of power accumulation, the same level of consolidation
of power as kings once did in our modern day, billionaires, the super wealthy that run society,
the myth that holds that entire system together is meritocracy.
The idea that hard work and smart work is the reason why Elon Musk is as wealthy as
he is.
That you earned it.
That you made it.
Since you didn't earn that, you have to create a myth of earning it.
And so if you're making minimum wage at a Walmart and you're making seven bucks an hour,
and I mean, Dan, with these cash prices, it takes you seven bucks to get to work.
And so as a result, we've kind of internalized this moralized system, right?
the people at the top are smarter, better,
more sophisticated.
And therefore the people at the bottom
are uneducated, lazy, et cetera.
And so if you are there,
and if you have internalized that code,
you need somebody under you
Because you feel like you hit that somebody like PVD,
you'll need somebody under you.
I'm a numbers guy, and you need somebody under you.
Let's grok it, Vinny, we're gonna grok it,
we're gonna ask Claude, I'm a numbers guy.
Like you are kind of good and the truth is most like you are right, right?
But if you've internalized that you need someone you need someone to point to that's broken rules
Right, that's lazy. That's whatever because in a way. It's like someone else has got to be locked up
So that you're not right
It's like a mental coping mechanism because you actually are on the brink of losing your house and yeah
So you have to think that it's actually someone else
I'm the exception. Yeah, I shouldn't be in this stock. I'm actually, you know, this is a mistake. Right. And America like lures people in with the exception to the rule story. Yes. Yes. And again, it's not to say this is the car.
Am I beginning brainwasher? Have you actually gotten kind of good at that? Your PVD is getting better. No, everyone is saying my PVD is getting better. I do train. I do train a little bit.
us, but in, in a history of racism, colonialism, what have you, it's served up to you on a
platter. It's that's Jim Crow. That's
Yeah. Of course, everybody got insanely bent about this. Let's take a look at what Fox
News had to say. The AOC dragged for latest crane claim. You got to be kidding me. Now,
What's funny is, this is a sneaky thing that the media does, okay?
They're the ones dragging her, but they don't want to just say that she's wrong or they
don't want to openly be the people dragging her.
So they try to act like other people are dragging her too, like, oh, everyone dunked on this.
Lefts war on success, taking another turn this week when Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria-
The left's war on success.
The left's war on success.
The left hates success.
Jessica Tarkov, my queen, defended AOC.
Missing antsy for talking about the rich in terms of the majority of America's agree with is a mistake
The idea that the system is rigged the benefit the rich and the working class up to the middle class cannot get ahead
Is one of the most salient political arguments Trump used to make it himself then gave him the system for himself and his friends
Including the frossers departing of course cooked no no making here is actually very similar to number one
Obama said you didn't build that right and it was this huge. I mean, I don't even know how many news cycles we did on that
But his point was that
bro
Zach or Ratch Zem sent a Lindsey Ellis Nebula link. That's a first in the chat.
Dude, the left does hate success. Look how often they get mad at you for being wealthy, Lamal.
I think there's an understandable and dare I say healthy amount of resentment that people have
for people who are financially secure. I've always maintained this position even when people
yelled at me when I bought the house. I think it's a healthy attitude to have.
Just say you can't afford a subscription. Yeah, no, I have no issues with Lindsay Ellis. I've
never had someone send me a Nebula TV link. It's a good instinct. Oftentimes it's born out of,
sometimes it's born out of envy for sure. But I think the resentment is healthy and the resentment
is good. And the reason why I say that is because the resentment stems from a place
of recognizing that your material conditions are dog shit, okay? In most circumstances,
you're like, well, my situation sucks. I'm living in a dog shit apartment and the meager
wages I get immediately translate into a nice vacation for my landlord, right? And the modest
increase I get in my meager wages are eaten up by inflation. Gas is now $1.50 extra per gallon.
This just sucks, right? Why the fuck is that guy rich? The fuck did he do? Fuck him. That's
That's an attitude that people have now, of course.
It can be unproductive anger,
or it can be productive anger.
If you spend a good deal of your time
yelling at like random influencers, myself included,
but certainly just like random
fucking influences on the internet
about how they're the real movers and shakers in society.
Well, then you're a fucking idiot.
That's unproductive.
And this is not a take that I have,
simply born out of a personal desire
stop people from yelling at me. I know people will say, Oh, you're just saying that because
you're rich and you don't want people to yell at you rich guy. No, I'm just saying that because
like I truly have no, no power as opposed to like the real movers and shakers. And with the
modest amount of power that I do have, uh, the, the influence that I do have, I try to use it
for good. Okay. I don't believe you. Let's grok it.
If you had the peak between America having high-speed rail, but you personally would never make more than the bottom 10% would you do it? Yes
But there's probably better stuff than just high-speed rail. I would do it for Medicare for all for sure like NHS
I'd do it for free college
Yes easy easy choice the fuck kind of question is that
You can grok right off buddy
No one builds a billion dollar fortune or one of these huge companies, which I think
is a good thing and they employ lots of people and most of them pay taxes, though the Warren
Buffett example, I think makes sense here where he says I should pay the same tax rate
as my secretary, for instance, but that it's a village.
It takes a village to do it.
We know it takes a village to raise a family.
It takes a village to build a business like that.
And when he was talking about it, he cited,
there was a teacher that helped you along the way,
that maybe you run a trucking company
and you're using roads that are funded with tax dollars,
that there is government research
that goes into something
that you then turn into your business.
And so this idea that you've done it on your own
is just not founded in reality.
And dismissing AOC and what she has been talking about,
This idea that the system is rigged to benefit the rich
and that the working class and up to the middle class
cannot get ahead is one of the most salient
political arguments.
If you're John Ossoff out on the campaign trail,
if you even go back to 2016 with Donald Trump
where he said, I use the loopholes, of course I do.
And I'm gonna get in there, I'm gonna change it,
which is the exact opposite of what he did.
He was tapping into the same emotion, the same feeling
that you should have better healthcare,
that you should have affordable housing,
that your schools should be
rich live in another planet.
They're the only ones benefitting
from the stock market.
They're the ones that are getting
all of the breaks.
And being dismissive of that kind
of politics will not benefit the right.
The poor on the left and the right
feel exactly the same way about the rich
and on fraud.
Donald Trump has pardoned people
who committed hundreds of millions
of dollars in Medicaid fraud.
also in Minnesota, down to Florida.
What are they called nursing home fraud?
And he's like, yeah, you guys should just walk out.
So he doesn't care about prosecuting the fraudsters.
You guys are giving him three deals.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Sure.
Jesse Waters' take. Oh, let's go.
Obviously, I had help getting all the way to where I am.
My mom read to me, someone.
Bro, he's so cynical as a grifter.
like every time he tries to deliver a message, you can tell that it's insincere. Like he kind of
recognizes he is a fucking fraud, right? Am I crazy? Or do you also get that vibe from Jesse
Waters? Well, he's like, oh, obviously I came to this profound position of privilege and power
with a lot of help. And it's like, the first part of that argument kind of recognizes that he's a
piece of shit like he is so shameless that he knows he's a piece of shit and he's almost flexing it
where he's like yeah i'm just a fucking dumbass who in a suit on television and i just talk shit
cuts my hair we get it just gets obvious we didn't all do this alone and yes there are rich people
and they're a poor people okay you know what I just realized this motherfucker looks like Ross from friends
I can't believe I've been watching this dude for years and years and this is the first time I made this connection
Why the fuck does he look like Ross from friends and why has no one ever brought this up?
I've never heard anybody bring up the fact that this motherfucker looks like David Schwimmer
I think that's a good thing.
That's how it's always been. Okay. For the poor people, it seems like they can't get ahead for the rich. It seems like they write the rules and to a certain extent they do, but she's lying when she says these guys are not going to get ahead.
And she says, these guys made all this money by breaking the law and like hurting workers.
Top four richest men in the world, men, Jessica Zuckerberg, Bezos, Musk, Larry Ellison, you
know the average salary at Facebook, 380 grand at Amazon, 220 grand, SpaceX, $175,000, Oracle,
$150,000.
Yeah, famously glad he brought up the average salary.
Okay. Yeah, famously, people that work in Amazon distribution facilities are making
too much. Yeah, he didn't say median salary for a good reason. He said average salary.
Okay. I think they're paid pretty well. I would say the people that work for these billionaires
are pretty happy
and i think everybody wants to work at one of those companies
this isn't like a railroad baron
that's like breaking the law and making kids working on mine
wait no that's exactly what the fuck they're doing
just adjusted to the current time frame like that's literally what they're
doing and they
have even more power
and wealth consolidation then the the robber barons of the old ages
and you know what
We have more income and wealth inequality now than we did back then.
If they do break the law, they get sued and they pay up.
It's no big deal.
This is a capitalist country.
If you can create value, famously, super easy.
Famously, the easiest thing ever.
Super easy to just punish billionaires.
Right?
First of all, you said break the law.
The law is a malleable concept as we've learned Donald Trump being the president at all.
But also these guys write the laws so it's not fucking illegal to do illegal shit anymore.
And then on top of that, even when they do violate the laws, nobody ever gets punished.
You will be well compensated, but she doesn't understand that because she's a government
employee and she is a taker, not a maker.
This is a great quote.
Emily kind of alluded to it.
Blue states have bled two trillion in wealth to red states in the last 10 years.
She's talking about how great blue states are.
Everyone is moving them, their family and their business to red states.
New York lost 660 billion in a decade.
Florida gained at 1.3 billion. You don't even have to like argue
with it just the facts. Everybody hates living in these
states because their high taxes high crime and overregulated
you don't get good services snow removal Jessica. I remember
you telling a story about how your husband had to join a
citizen snow brigade joined because you can get plowed first
most of us are you know who's plows in the red states Florida
Texas, Arizona, the Carolinas, no one because it doesn't snow there. And the red states
where it does snow, you know who plows we do, you put a plow on your pickup truck and
you did wait, what? You just made fun of her husband in New York, getting paid to plow
snow. And then you said in red states where it, where it snows, we put a plow on our pickup
trucks and do it for free?
Also, why does Jesse Waters say we?
Moe fucker you're like a theater major that went to a tiny liberal arts
university I assume because that's usually what these guys have done who
now lives in New York City or at most Connecticut
half of these dudes went to Trinity College
more than half have an English lit degree and all of them live in either
New York City, the Tri-State area or Connecticut. Are you describing Jesse
Waters or David Schwimmer? Well, clearly it's both.
He went to Trinity. There you go. Boom. Jesse literally went to Trinity and got a
of Bachelor of Arts fucking called it. Every single one of these mofos is-
Yourself or your neighbor does it, or the mom and pop business does it for you.
People in glass houses shouldn't be stoned. Have you seen her district? It's a third world
country in Queens. It's grimy, it's stanky. I can smell it from Manhattan. 20% of her district lives
below the poverty line. There's open air drug deals, there's open air prostitution.
She should really not be pointing figures in other red states when churned very own district is a mess
Former US Secretary Mike Pompeo admits there's no prime minister of Israel who has any chance of getting elected
Who would not do almost precisely what Nenyeahu has done the date and will continue to do this is not about Nenyeahu
Glad that they just keep saying the quiet part out loud not that it fucking matters to anybody
Anyway, I know that it's only six hours and fifty one minutes today chat, but I'm tired
I did wake up early this morning and get a lot of sleep
So I'm gonna leave it at that
This is also part of the reason why I said I don't even know if I can go to nephew's birthdays. I'm so fucking tired, but
Maybe after a nap who knows anyway. Love you guys
And see you tomorrow
