The Sampiker 34 year old political home theater holds American and Turkish citizens who describes themselves as socialists in recent months
He's criticized US domestic and foreign policy in a sharp tone during live stream videos from his home in Los Angeles
Sompiker has gradually attracted a larger audience in 2016 with programs that are described as explicit and sometimes reckless
But at the same time entertaining he's known of the twitch program platform is Hassanab, a big brother in Turkish
And now has approximately 10 million followers across various social networks
Isn't BBC Persian like you know a little bit of a op am I crazy I

I apologize. Thank you. You who that for correcting me also golden capitrain. Um, yes
Solo Blumkin faptop
I'm gonna be honest with you. I did not know that there was a distinction
Until you just informed me
I'ma keep it a buck 50 with you big dog. I genuinely thought it was the same. I thought
it was the same organization. I, that's crazy. Why did they do that?
Well, that is, I thought it was the fucking raises. It has one extra a and an age, bro.
the say it sounds the same
that's crazy
god damn hype train is popping off did you see Mallory McQuomo say the iron
dome say iron dome for Gaza no also my friend dressed up as five ish for
Purim is a kid, Lamau.
Unironically, that's incredible.
Lever, addressing Autistic Habits, please address this line.
What is watching something with his son?
Key!
No, we're not going to do this right now.
Okay, calm down.
No, never get your phone out in the shit room.
You put that thing next to your face.
Okay, dude, I don't care.
Okay, that's crazy.
Five-ish is awesome.
That's my favorite character.
If I believed in Purim,
I would also dress up as five ish. Okay. I would also do that
More people should do that
That's my take on five ish
Anyway
All right, does chatter know that their buttholes about three feet from their face. Yeah
them. Okay. Okay. Let's get started on what time it is. Hold on. Check in my watch. Oh,
that's right. It's fuck Israel o'clock. Let's start there, ladies and gentlemen. And then
we'll get the Trump statement in Iran and all this other stuff. He's been, he's been
popping off. He's like, is it real? Will he, will they won't they situation with going
back to war with Iran, because that's just what American politics is all about. Okay?
That's what politics is all about. But there's a New York Times, Siena poll that just came
out. And let me tell you, okay, things are not looking too good for people's favorite
emotional support. But part I say also, this is a crazy story. Sneeko apparently was having
uh... of shit ton of threesome's with a bunch of like republican conservative
uh... content creators like just
you know they're there i mean it's nothing
nothing that you
uh... didn't expect
but yeah a lot of these guys apparently
they just they just fuck a lot like all these like conservative like trad cats
and shit
yes nicole seven threesome's with this lady amy something
Okay. Yeah, they're having like grifter orgies out there. Well, simultaneously talking about,
you know, living traditional lives. It's so funny. These guys think, these guys think it's oxymoronic
for me to be successful financially, but also be a socialist. Meanwhile, they quite literally do
not practice what they preach. Okay. There is no, like that is diametrically the opposite of the
way that they present themselves. Okay.
There's motherfuckers running around being like, I'm actually, uh, uh, you know, a pious Muslim revert. I believe fully, I
subscribe fully to Islam. And then he's having fucking three ways and shit. Watching his girlfriend get fucked by
other dudes like I don't even understand how that stuff works at all what the
fuck a bitcher I bet you he did his ass did not ask one of these sheiks you know
on one of the college shows to be like you know imam great imam please tell
me is it Haram if I have a threesome and then in the threesome there's another
guy and he's fucking my girlfriend please for the love of Allah look at Amy
something's Instagram bio? Another Instagram link. Christ is King. Mrs. The Brinkat on
Rumble and YouTube America first. Yeah, this is the, this is the lady. She loves James
fish back and I think that's her husband who is a grouper.
Is that a Swagapino WRL?
Honestly, I think if Sneeko didn't become this like weird right wing grifter, he could
have had an incredible media career ahead of him because he used to when he was like
little kid he would do like all these thoughtful videos about American
militarism, American imperialism, all this shit and then his brain just got
completely fucking reoriented by Andrew Tate. He got hit with Andrew Tate beam
and he was like oh I love Red Pill, oh I love fighting against the Matrix. I mean
he went through like every version of being being blasted by by internet
invented ideologies. Um, so I don't know. I don't know where he's at now, but I
check logs. Okay, man. Okay. We're talking about something else right now.
Fucking calm down. Okay. Freakin calm down, dude. Chill out. I know. We'll talk
about Trump not waging war with Iran. Okay. There's plenty of time. There's
plenty of time to get to that. There will be plenty of time to get to that, okay?
Stop begging me to check your logs. I, bro, it's really funny because I told you guys
the two things I fucking can't stand in the chat when you spam it is like Instagram links
and you guys love spamming Instagram links and also check logs. You guys love spamming
both you love spamming check logs for an instagram link
anyway I don't know how to explain it but this is fundamentally the same vibe
as John Federman really gross I mean yes she is she is a John Federman type
Anyway, oh Marjorie trailer green
Okay, stop, uh, yeah, all right, let's get started with I
Will I want to do the the voter cross tabs, but is there like a fucking
Video covering it because I have to pee
Because if not, we're just gonna start with Mallory McMarrow
We're funding to Israel's defense infrastructure because Mallory McCormough went on a majority
report in Matt Bernstein, okay?
And apparently a majority Emma Vigelin from a majority report was was was brought on to
the combo out of nowhere.
And she played a role in apparently grilling her.
Okay.
And I'm very excited to watch this. I'm actually super stoked to watch this
Tom Hardy is a kneecap fan. Yeah, we know
Because I don't think anybody should live in fear of being bombed or killed. Okay, what about Iranians?
What about Palestinians? What about the Russians?
Are you in favor of sending the iron dome to the Palestinians if she says yes, that's awesome. That's kind of based
I'm not gonna lie. I would look at how do we support defensive systems for Palestinians?
How would we support defensive systems for Lebanese people? Should they get an iron dome too?
The Palestinians? Let's talk about that as a conversation. Well, I mean...
Hello, hello. For anyone who hasn't been following recent left-wing political Twitter drama,
or who doesn't keep up with the iconic drag queen lady bunny who posted about said drama on Instagram,
This has been a long time coming, allow me to explain.
After I interviewed Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive candidate running for U.S. Senate
in the state of Michigan, his Democratic primary opponent, Mallory McMorro, reached out to
me saying that she would like to be interviewed.
I was honestly a little surprised by this, given that Mallory and I have some key policy
disagreements.
In her race, Mallory is running on the standard democratic liberal Zionist position of two
state solution, fund the Iron Dome, but Netanyahu bad, but also no sanctions about it, etc.
She's also not running on Medicare for all.
But I wanted to do the interview so I could ask her about those positions.
Her team and I set a date and a time for the interview, and after I submitted a topic list,
which included healthcare and foreign policy,
they canceled and offered no time to reschedule.
I will say, and I don't want to assume intention
and am willing to be wrong,
but I do kind of wonder sometimes if because of how I present
and the fact that I'm so open about who I am,
that people just think I'm like the gay guy, you know?
Not as big as a new story in terms of the grand scheme of things. No, I know the LA.
First of all, the Long Island Railroad is very important to me.
The LIRR is very important to me personally. Okay.
So in the grand scheme of things,
this is very much an important story in the Hassanabi universe. Okay.
I need you to understand that. You guys know,
I've taken it many a times, and I love it, okay?
It's choo-choo time, we will talk about it.
We will definitely talk about that, and we'll talk about the discourse surrounding it,
because it's nasty.
A lot of Liberals are showing their fucking asses about labor unions, it's disgusting.
Like this idea that it's totally transactional, that like Liberals should actually drop
labor unions because they they didn't like a sufficiently support Biden after Biden showed a lot of
after Biden aided the labor unions is disgusting okay. You don't support labor unions because
they're left or right you support them because it's just nastiness. Who will talk about gay things
and not much else and not to be too like sex in the city about it but I can't
help but wonder if they reached out to me thinking I'd just ask Mallory about
like her LGBT record you know but in any case I tweeted that I was disappointed
that her team had canceled and the tweet quickly got traction and within a
couple hours her team reached out and her schedule had opened back up and we
were back on so I don't know maybe an honest scheduling error maybe not make
of it what you will I had my good friend and host of the majority report Emma
Vigeland join me for this interview love her so much and without further ado
state senator Mallory McMorow welcome to a bit fruity thank you so much I'm so
excited I've been following you for years by the way so this is very exciting
for me. Oh, that means so much to me. Seriously, though, I know we had like all of this like
scheduling drama and, you know, I know in the wake of all of that you could have very easily
just been like, I'm not going to do this one. And it would have made sense to me. So it really
does mean a lot to me that you're here today. And I also know that like a lot of Michigan voters
listen to this podcast might see this. And I think they're probably really grateful that you're here.
Absolutely. And thank you for rolling with us. I mean, balancing, you know, running a
city. Why do people talk shit about my background? And then Mallory McMorris background is the fucking
same. What the hell is that?
The wide campaign. I'm the state Senate majority whip. So I've got that whole job and I have a five
year old. So our schedule, my schedule, there's everything. She manages to piece it all together.
But I'm really grateful that you rolled with us to make it work.
Yeah, absolutely. So let's get into it.
State Senator Mallory McMorrow, you are in this three-person primary race.
It kind of sounds like Daily Dose of the Internet, no?
For the U.S. Senate representing Michigan, that's really captured the attention of the country.
And I want you to help us characterize it a little bit for people who might be hearing
about this race for the first time. You have these two opponents, right? On one hand, you
have Haley Stevens, who is the APAC endorsed super pro Israel, sort of an extension of
like Chuck Schumer's brand of the Democratic Party, I'd say pretty old guard. Haley Stevens
was notably booed at her own Michigan Democratic Party convention recently. I'll throw a video
in there if I can find it, which is pretty amazing. And then on the other side, you have
Dr. Abdul El Sayed, who we interviewed on the show a few weeks ago. Dr. El Sayed is
a very progressive candidate wrote a book on Medicare for all very pro Palestine. And
I think, and please feel free to dispute this characterization that most people view you
as like someone in the middle. So I was wondering if you could first just like define yourself
in the context of this race.
For sure. So to put the race into perspective, Michigan has an open U.S. Senate seat. Gary
Peters is not seeking reelection. We have Mike Rogers, in all likelihood the nominee
on the Republican side, who ran against Alyssa Slotkin in 2024, lost by only 19,000 votes.
The Republicans and Trump view this as their best chance to block Democrats from having
a path at taking the U.S. Senate. They're spending the Senate leadership pack, announced
45 million, that they're going to be spending in Michigan, which is more than they will
spend in Georgia, Maine, Iowa, Alaska, and New Hampshire. So this is it. So it makes
sense that this has sort of captured the attention of the country and we have a fiercely competitive
Democratic primary.
You do.
I should add, first of people know, sorry to don't mean to cut you off, but it's like
depending on what poll you look at, which are coming out like relentlessly, it's like
neck and neck with the three of you.
Yeah.
And I think that's a good thing, but your characterization is right.
You know, what I firmly believe is that the Democratic Party needs a reckoning that the old
guard establishment of the party has really let us down.
The first question I was asked when I got in a year ago was, would you support Chuck
Schumer for leader?
And I said, no, apparently I was the first candidate in the country to say so.
And what I know is that in Michigan, we have built a very different blueprint.
So for me, I know that people want to put us into neat little lane boxes.
And I just don't think that's how Michiganders think.
We have people in our state who voted for both Rick Snyder, a Republican governor, and
Reggie Whitmer.
We have people who voted for Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump.
This is a state where you don't have to register by party.
And people tend to vote for the person that they like.
But of the field, I am the establishment outsider, but with a track record of actually getting
real shit done.
I'm the only candidate who have beaten a Republican incumbent to get into office.
I took on an entrenched family legacy
in my first campaign for state senate.
And I swung a district 20 points in a single cycle
and broke the Republican super majority.
I then helped leverage a viral speech
that I gave back in 2022 after I was smeared
as a groomer and a pedophile by a colleague of mine.
I opened a pack, we raised millions of dollars,
I supported a dozen other candidates
and flipped the entire state senate
for the first time in 40 years.
I've been there with the groomer and pedophile.
Oh, same here actually.
Yeah, and can I tell you,
like all of your Instagram stories
were truly so helpful for us.
Like you may not know this,
but a lot of us in the state senate,
we've been following you for a while,
of hitting back on a lot of the culture war bullshit. Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. And
she's coming at it real nice. I appreciate everyone who like stood there. I think was
hoping she's a lot more skilled, I would say. Or maybe it's her personality. I don't know what it is.
is, but she is very good at, at how has everyone? What, what is this? How has everyone been accused
of being a pedophile? Wait, what? What the fuck does that even? Yeah, she's very good
at disarming.
Oh, the height of the culture were bullshit. I'm of the belief that like so much has happened
since, especially to like wreck Americans lives economically, that even the most sort
of ardent, like anti drag brunch people are now kind of like, I don't got time for that.
You know, I will never forget, there was a press conference tutor Dixon and tried to
hold in the middle of the 22 psychology and all these people, you know, it was under the
guise of protecting girls in sports. And she made this radical claims about what was happening
in the state. And there was this incredible local news broadcast that it talked about
her press conference. And then the reporter pressed her, can you provide a single example
of somebody being hurt in sports in Michigan? She said, no. And then they cut away to a
a protestor who was like, I just need affordable housing.
Like we, I can't afford anywhere to live.
And I think that's why, you know,
the speech that I gave then blew up the way that it did.
Cause I made a point of saying people who are different
are not the reason your healthcare costs are too high.
And we can't let people who are hateful people distract
from the fact that they're not actually doing anything
to help you.
Guys, you can't, you can't do this thing.
Okay. You have to, you have to take this in stride.
Okay. This is a person who was literally straight up
compared me to Nicholas Fuentes.
Okay. And I'm not, uh, you know, as aggressive in my commentary against her, you guys can't do that. Okay. Because then we look fucking crazy.
If she looks good in an interview and you are just like, she's a snake. Don't trust her all this shit. Like, I understand why you don't like her, but you have to, you have to be normal.
You can't look abnormal. You can't look weird.
You know. Yeah, and I want to talk about some of those economic issues, namely healthcare. I know going into this, we want to talk about foreign policy and healthcare, because especially, you know, if you're representing Michigan on the national stage, then, you know, these are things that people really care about.
So Senator McMurray, with regard to healthcare, you support a single pair option, which is different from something like Medicare for all or universal healthcare.
I wanted to play a clip for you that's gotten some traction of you speaking about what you see as the risks of universal health care and
Just ask you more about that. Sure. Also, you're new to the pod and
Learning that I don't have a producer. So when I say like I'm gonna throw something up on the screen
What I mean is I'm gonna play the video from my phone into the microphone. So, okay, perfect, you know, sorry
You're welcome. Some people conflate Medicare for all with universal health care
But Medicare for All, when it's actually defined, is one singular government-run healthcare system that we are all on.
Now, I want you to imagine what that would look like with Donald Trump and RFK Jr. in the head of it.
Emma, do you want to take this?
Yeah, sure. So, so, states are...
Oh! Oh! Oh! Get in there, Emma!
So it feels like the implication of your framing there is that government health care programs
shouldn't be trusted because Trump and RFK Jr. are leading them.
Are there other programs, specifically health care programs or social programs you think
should be cut because Trump and RFK Jr. are currently in charge of them?
No, that's not at all what I intended and my fundamentally and firmly believe that we
need access to universal health care.
We need to get there as quickly as possible.
In the State Senate, I have led on efforts to codify the Affordable Care Act on the state
levels so you can't lose your health care with a pre-existing condition. We've repealed our
1931 abortion ban. We helped expand a program called RxKid Statewide, which is a cash grant
program for new moms and babies. We've expanded access to doulas and to midwives. We've done
so much because this is such a big issue. And what I know is that people can't afford to wait.
The idea that... She looks so intense. She's not there to play no games. She's like, nope, I'm here.
Yeah, your track record is fine in the state level. Why did you say that?
We should hold out just for one solution. To me, it's just not what I've experienced
in governing. You know, the next U.S. Senator would be one of a hundred members, and the
votes for a true single-payer system simply aren't there. Now, there have been multiple
states who have implemented state-level public options, and in those states, not only have
they vastly reduced the rate of uninsured to next to zero, they've also reduced the cost
of private health insurance. That is something that as we look to how do we get to universal
health care as quickly as possible so people aren't going bankrupt, they're not denying
themselves care. You know, I am somebody who graduated from college right into the recession
in 2008 wanting to be a car designer, so I did not have health care. I couldn't say on
my parents' plan until 26.
Having that real public option, anybody who wants to opt into Medicare regardless of age
can, while also ensuring if you want to keep your plan through your union or through your
employer that you can, I believe, is the best way that we can get to universal health care
as quickly as possible.
We can talk about, I think, the merits of the public option versus Medicare for All,
but the public option would still be run by Donald Trump and RFK Jr. or whoever ends
up being a Republican if they take over.
Additionally, the entire Republican party is against Medicare for All and single payer.
So it's almost an assertion that Democrats shouldn't pursue Medicare for All or even
single pair because potentially Republicans could get back into power and control it.
I mean that is the implication of what you said. I don't think that it is. I think that's a
mischaracterization. How would you characterize it then? You talk a lot on the trail and you want
to make some jokes and you want to help people understand where you're coming from. This is an
administration and that has slashed it that's I mean I was just jokes it was
just jokes she's not she's not anti-medicare for all it was just jokes
What is the joke then? I mean, that already, that is already, it's a, it's you're defeated
at that point, right? If you're a politician and you're talking about how we can't pursue
a very popular healthcare provision because like, you know, Republicans might take it
over it's like okay social security exists like republicans have been president they
can't take it away the fuck does that even mean but obviously fundamentally when you
say explain the joke then it's over it's it's fucking it's there's nothing you can do there's
nothing you can do when you turn around and you say explain the joke then what I'm just
I don't understand it it's the most annoying thing that people can do people do it to me
all the time, it is an undefeated method, okay, of just hooking someone.
Access to Mipha Pristone, this is an administration who intentionally withheld SNAP benefits, even
though we had the funding to pay for it in Michigan, that's a million kids who are on
SNAP.
Yeah, but you would never say that, you know, we shouldn't have SNAP because, you know,
inevitably we shouldn't expand SNAP because inevitably Republicans will control it, right?
I don't think we should shy away from the incredible damage that this administration
is inflicting on government programs here in the state.
I'm on the Appropriations Committee in the State Senate.
We are having to backfill state Medicaid because they vastly slashed access to funding for us.
The one big awful bill means that Michigan stands to lose 13 rural hospitals.
We've already seen a birthing center close in the upper peninsula and now women have
to drive more than 50 miles to give birth.
I don't believe that it's out of line to highlight,
hopefully with some humor, or allowed to laugh sometimes.
Some of the incredibly damaging things
that this administration has done
while we are also advocating for what we would do
if we get back into power, what we're doing.
The argument that she presented
wasn't that this administration is like,
the argument that she presented wasn't specifically
about this administration's actions
taking away people's healthcare.
You used that as a reason as to why we shouldn't pursue
government-controlled health care.
That's a very specific criticism
against government initiatives in general
and specifically against Medicare for All.
Propose on how we're gonna get there.
How do you build a coalition
to actually build a policy?
I love jokes.
I'm a jokester.
I love fibbing.
I love a hyperbole.
As you guys know, it's one of my biggest flaws.
My biggest personality flaws is that I love laughter, okay?
Chapp hates it. But there is a difference, right? When you're making a joke that you,
you know, there's an intentionality behind it. There's a direction on the joke. You know,
I'm not going to say you can't make jokes about denying people access to healthcare.
It could be very funny. Comedy is legal. Okay. Comedy. Legalized comedy. Legalized comedy.
is legal. I don't do the jokes of bourgeois decadence. I think that you're, you know,
you just didn't, I guess you didn't mean it. I guess you said that, but you didn't mean
it. And I think that's what she's trying to do right now. Wait, no, Dr. Jihad is a joking
guy. You can't be real. No, Dr. Jihad is very real. Nothing I've ever said as Dr. Jihad
has been a joke. I don't fib. I don't joke when I'm dogged. That's serious. That's
me stores health care for people as quickly as possible. I think the the the the rub
there is just that the framing kind of undercuts the idea of universal programs
because the bad party can take over at a certain point. And you know, I want
Democrats to be talking about how government can provide social services
for people. I think that needs to be a core part of the brand proposition. And
You know, another part of your assertion was that Medicare for All is, I wrote the quote
down, one singular government-run healthcare system that we're all on.
Can you elaborate on that?
Because Medicare for All is a replacement for private insurance with a single government
payer, like Medicare is currently.
It's not government-run healthcare.
Sure, you're right.
And I have taken that feedback to heart.
We campaign a lot.
And I do talk about this differently now so that it doesn't come across as callous.
And you're right, a single-payer system, Medicare for All in the legislation as it has been
introduced and sits in the Congress right now is a single insurance plan that would by law eliminate
private health insurance. The public option, can you expand on how you would solve some of the
same say enrollment issues that you see with Obamacare? A Medicare for All plan would promise
no premiums or deductibles. It would create a single payer, the largest amount of leverage
to keep costs down. That is why people want to go big with Medicare for All. A public option is
an improvement, of course, on the private marketplace and the Affordable Care Act,
but that would still involve premiums and deductibles. Why not go all the way to Medicare for all?
Yeah, I hear you on the vision. I 100% do. And what I know after almost a decade as experience
in a legislator is that you need to push as far as you possibly can while building the
coalition of votes to actually get it across the line. And the support for a true single-payer
system isn't there yet. It just isn't. So for me, what I know, I have constituents today.
Bullshit. That's, that's not, that's not real. That's not real.
Hey, who have canceled their ACA plans because they see their premiums have gone through the roof and they're just praying that they don't get sick and don't go to the hospital.
allowing for anybody who wants to opt into Medicare,
regardless of age, helps us get on the path
to universal healthcare.
And I'm also somebody who fundamentally believes
states are the laboratories of democracy.
This is where we try things out.
This is how our country was established.
There has only been one state who's ever attempted
a true single payer system, and it was Vermont.
And they abandoned that 15 years ago
when they couldn't figure out how to pay for it,
and they couldn't figure out the implementation.
Where we now have three states who are running
public option systems within their states
that have gotten us much closer to the goal
of universal healthcare.
So that's how I approach policy is what's our goal
and how can we actually ensure
that we get there as quickly as possible?
Moving on Mallory, initially that's extremely close
to my heart as a Jewish person.
Better things are not possible.
People don't have an appetite for this.
I think it's bullshit, okay?
I think that's bullshit.
I'ma be honest.
It's just, oh, I'm coming at it with the most, like, with maximum electability in mind.
Okay.
Well, we need bold, we need bold thinkers, okay?
The time for, the time for trailing the Republicans along was for yesteryear, okay?
The time for real bold changes is now.
The tax-paying American as a human being is that of Palestine.
I despise when people automatically come to the bargaining table.
I despise when people come to the bargaining table and immediately shank their own position.
option would be an improvement over what we have now, but why would you even start down
with a watered down proposal, negotiate with a maximum? Exactly. Exactly. It's ridiculous.
And every Democrat that does that is a snake in the grass. Remember that. Every Democrat
that does that, when any Democrat that says, oh, this is unfeasible is doing so for a reason.
Okay, it's unbelievably disingenuous. It's unbelievably disingenuous, especially on
this issue, right? This is a doable thing. We're not talking about the abolition of the
commodity form, okay? That's not, you know, there are obviously ideas that might not be
or ideas that are totally out there, okay? Like the work abolition, right? You're not
coming in and saying, we gotta forcibly seize the means of production, okay? We're implementing
a dictatorship of the proletariat in this election cycle. That's not, that's maybe a
little bit too much of a radical idea. You know?
It was actually just the other night at a UN commemoration of the anniversary of
the Nakva in 1948 when Israel displaced more than 750,000 Palestinians who still
This is, like, as far as the healthcare conversation goes, I did not like her answer. I think she was
was competent. She held off the attacks fairly well. If you're knowledgeable on the issue,
you look at it and you understand exactly what she's saying, where she's coming in and
saying like, no, better things are not possible. We should just like water down our own side's
argument because there's real electoral concerns or something like that. It's bullshit. But
I think to the onlookers who are not initiated with this kind of politics, she probably has
held frame here, okay? On the optics side. Liberals will watch this. No, liberals will
absolutely watch this interview and their takeaway would be, wow, she's brilliant. This is our candidate,
for sure. Okay? They love when someone says, oh, you guys are just naive radicals, okay?
Oh, you want some pot. You want some pie in the sky idealism here with your what advocacy
for a system that is not even as comprehensive as like a nationalized healthcare service
that exists in the UK. You know, it's ridiculous.
We don't have the right to return home.
So when considering people who are running for federal office, people who could determine
the future of the U.S. relationship to Israel and the effect that that will have on Palestinians,
now the Lebanese people and Iranians, I know this issue is one people who listen to the
show for one care a lot about.
And of course, you are also running in Michigan, which has a large Arab population, which,
You know, that was very consequential in the 2024 election when many of them withheld their votes from from Kamal Harris and as part of the uncommitted movement.
So I want to make sure people have a really clear understanding of your position.
Also, for context, your opponent on one side, Abdul El Sayed, he opposes all funding to Israel.
And your opponent on the other side, Haley Stevens, is endorsed by APAC and I've said there.
So I wanted to highlight your approach and ask you about it.
about it. On your website, you write, quote, the path to lasting peace between Israelis
and Palestinians lies in a two-state solution with a democratic Jewish state of Israel existing
safely along a democratic Palestinian state. You write that the flow of a Tadazah, quote,
needs to be restored, that Israel's expansion into the West Bank, quote, must stop, and
that Hamas must, quote, disarm and demonstrate a commitment to a peaceful and democratic
Palestinian state.
I don't think Mallory would ever do an interview with me, but I would love to do it
You also support but I guess like at this point. I'm functionally a campaign surrogate. So it's a little bit different
Rails defensive weapons infrastructure, you know things like the iron dome. Is that all correct?
Increasing that's changed and you even see
Netanyahu now vocally saying that he himself wants to cut off relying on aid from other countries
So I would support Israel continuing to be able to purchase systems like the Iron Dome defensive systems
Your weed is too loud now Hassanami the mainstream dims will not engage even Hannity won't I know
It's kind of fucking bullshit the handy won't though because like if I'm the spokesperson for the Democratic Party
Hannity should destroy me in the marketplace of ideas. I'm ready, dude. I'm fucking ready to be destroyed Hannity
I'm ready
But I think it's in the best interest of the United States
in reducing that aid and allowing Israel to do that on their own.
But I mean, as of now though,
your policy that you're running on just so voters are like clear
is that you support sort of the defensive infrastructure.
So we wanted to ask you a couple of questions
about your stance here first regarding
what a two-state solution means to you
and how that could affect your policymaking.
The two-state solution debate is something
where I really do think that there are a lot of Democrats
kind of behind the reality on this issue. So I just want to talk in terms of practicalities.
Where would you, in terms of like your ideal two-state solution, draw the borders? Because
as you know, Israel's been illegally occupying East Jerusalem in the West Bank since 1967
in violation of UN law. And since then, 700,000 Israeli settlers have moved into the Palestinian
territories in East Jerusalem.
Oh, is she gulping every time Emma starts speaking?
That's crazy.
Okay, Emma!
Oh my God, Emma Vigelin, what a fucking nightmare!
Oh my Lord!
And the West Bank and have stolen Palestinian land.
So my question about the practicality
of a two-state solution is, how would that happen?
Would your scenario require removing
the 700,000 illegal settlers living on Palestinian land?
So Emma, what you're asking is, I don't believe the role of a U.S. Senator.
I believe that a Senator should have a role in allowing the United States to facilitate
the negotiation between the Palestinians and the Israelis that gets to a place where there's
long-term peace, security, and self-determination for Palestinians and long-term peace, security,
and self-determination for Israelis who all live in the region and have to figure out a
way to coexist where they're not killing each other.
I don't believe that it's the role of a legislator to determine where those borders are or how
coexist, but it should be our role to de-escalate the conflict. I do not support the Netanyahu
government. I think that they have continued to push well beyond what is proportionate,
what is rational in response to the October 7th attacks in a way that is horrifying to watch.
I mean, bombing Gaza to be completely uninhabitable. The settler violence that you see,
see that while it is technically illegal, they are certainly doing nothing to stop it
and continue doing.
Okay, I'm guessing the pin is a reference to the master to going on down the street from
us on.
It's not down the street for me.
I think it's in the San Diego Islamic Center.
That's a little ways away from down the street for me.
And I don't know what's going on, but we'll get to that later.
Okay.
And Matt, you brought this up particularly related to our state.
We have a very large Lebanese population.
a million people in Lebanon have been displaced.
And I know a friend of mine who's running for state senate
mentioned to me that his grandmother's home in Lebanon
has been bombed three times.
And that somehow she's still in good spirits
about the fact that she is alive
when many of her neighbors are not.
So for me, I'm somebody,
I bring a background in industrial design
into how I pursue policy,
which is starting with the outcome
and then backing into how do you help facilitate
making that happen.
What I believe is that there is broad shared beliefs
across our constituents in both the Jewish community,
the Arab community and frankly for people
who are not directly impacted by this,
who are horrified beyond belief
at the ongoing violence suffering chaos
who simply want the violence to stop
and see the United States has played a role
in continuing the violence
when you need to play a role in ending it.
And I hear what you're saying about
you don't wanna draw specific boundaries,
I understand that, but I think it's important
to dissect what a two-state solution would actually entail?
Do you believe that that should involve
some sort of reparations for Palestinian land
that has been stolen?
Because increasingly, if you look at the map
of the West Bank, it's being taken over.
Yes, a two-state solution is pure,
I mean, I would say it was like an idealistic concept
even in the 90s, when there was like approximately,
I believe in 88, there was like 80,000 or so settlers
that still would have been a very difficult process of, of, of, you know, taking away
that land and like redistributing it to the Palestinians.
But it's, it's a fantasy. It's, it's a, the reason why people still say it in 2026 is
because it's a great way to shut your opposition to fuck up because most people are oblivious
to the realities on the ground. There is a de facto one state right now. This is a tough
pill to swallow for everyone on both sides, but there is a de facto one state. And that sovereign
state is an apartheid state. It's the state of Israel. So I think it's a much more productive way
to tackle this issue as an end to the occupation and an end to the apartheid. The abolition of
the occupation of Israel and the abolition of the apartheid is the appropriate way to go about it,
given the realities on the ground by Israel so there would have to be either
a forcible removal or Palestinians would have to be crammed to even smaller
and smaller territory yeah and again I go back to the United States role a
legislators role should be in helping to facilitate between the negotiators and
something that allows for that peace and security for Palestinians along yeah
it's by cutting funding it's by turning Israel into a pariah state to apply
maximum pressure peacefully right through peaceful means which of course
includes an arms embargo across the board, no defensive weapons, no offensive weapons,
an arms embargo, not even just like denying them free money so they can purchase the weapons.
I'm talking no weapons whatsoever and then potentially sanctions because that's what we
would do or that's what we did do to apartheid South Africa. This is part of the reason why
a lot of these guys refuse to reckon with what it means to be an apartheid state. That's why they
act silly and naive when it comes down to the recognition of Israel's apartheid.
Right? It's bullshit. That's why they don't want to say genocide either. There's a reason for it,
because genocide comes with legal restrictions, a demand, a just demand for legal restrictions.
Apartheid comes with demands for restrictions. You can't on the one hand say Israel's doing
Genocide is there's a little part I say and on the other hand go and we still have to give them weapons
We have to sell them weapons. No, you don't give any fucking weapons to a country that's doing a genocide
You know, you don't offer them any economic aid. It doesn't work that way, right?
And that's why they have a hard time
openly saying the truth that many people now understand at least knowledgeable people understand alongside
Israelis, I don't believe that that is my role to dictate to put on to the people who do live there
what they should be fighting for for their own lives.
I want to push back though a little bit on I would go a little bit harder.
I'm going to be on the sort of you're presenting it as like a little bit detached from the peace process there.
Whereas like we know that Israel's sort of violent and ongoing expansion.
Now, yeah, if you've got a bad kid.
If you got if you got, you know, a child that's beating the shit out of people
and the school tells you like your kids beating the fuck out of people,
You don't give the kid a gun. You don't keep, you don't keep, you know, telling him, go off,
do whatever you want to do. Go do school shooting. Like, it's not how that works, okay?
I went to Lebanon, as you mentioned. It's only possible because of-
She's kind of right that it shouldn't be the U.S. role to tell Palestinians what solution they have.
I know, but she's doing politicking there, okay? She's trying to say, oh, I'm in isolation,
she's not okay no American senator is a fucking isolationist okay ask her about Taiwan to see if
she has any takes on what kind of intervention we must do in Taiwan right um
is just like you don't have kids true I don't know what it takes to be a parent I don't have
children uh you probably should give a gun to a bad kid who's like bullying the fuck out of all
the other children, right? So he can be more efficient in his bullying.
Yeah, she says, she says, oh, we can't, you know, speak over the Palestinians there,
because the real point that she's making is we should just stay out of this conversation. She's
trying to angle it in a way. I'm going bipartisan US support. And so I wonder if you continue to
support defensive weapons infrastructure to Israel, how you see yourself as utilizing
any of the leverage you could have as a U.S. Senator.
I think here, here, I'm going to give you guys the method, okay?
The interrogation method in this circumstance should start with terms that both parties
agree to, apartheid and genocide.
Do you believe Israel committed a genocide?
Do you believe Israel's an apartheid state?
Or if you want to be even stronger in the way that you, you know, present this question,
say, do you agree with virtually every humanitarian rights organization and the ICC and the ICJ
that Israel is an apartheid state? Do you believe in the, do you agree in the United Nations
recognition that Israel is an apartheid state? Because these are all very important institutions
that have decided since 2021, and as recently as 2024, that Israel is maintaining an apartheid.
Okay. So that's number one. Number two, same with the genocide distinction down to, uh,
Salem, the Israeli human rights organization, and all these other international human rights
organizations, do you agree with their assessment that Israel has conducted a genocide?
So you have to define those terms first and foremost.
You have to have that conversation with the opposition.
And then you move off of that, right?
Because once you do that recognition, once you agree that Israel is committed a genocide
in Israel is an apartheid state, then you can continue asking these questions like, why do
you think, you know, would you have, would you have been in favor of giving Nazi Germany
anti aircraft weapons when, when, you know, are the Allied force were bombing Dresden?
For example, there were civilians in Dresden. Do you agree that Nazi Germany should have
gotten, you know, anti aircraft defense systems? Do you believe Russia should get anti drone
defense systems from the United States of America, should Russia get an iron dough?
I mean, there's Russian civilians. Do you think the IRGC deserves the iron dome as well?
So those are, you know, that you can have that conversation after, right? What happens if she
says yes to those questions? She won't. But even if she says yes to those questions, then you could
continue having a conversation. It's like, okay, that's very bold. Um, will you push for legislation
to make that happen? At that point, she's like in uncharted waters. And this is something that
that, uh, you know, this is something that's just not, she's never going to fucking entertain,
even though she does briefly entertain it. Because once she says that, and she literally does say,
it's interesting, I would have a conversation about that. I know, I know, I know, I saw the brief,
the brief intro, where she does say, oh yeah, that could be an interesting thing to get the Iron Dome to the Palestinians.
You say, what is an easier way to stop the bloodshed?
What is an easier way to stop the bloodshed?
To remove all weapons that we're giving, to do an arms embargo on Israel, or to give the Iron Dome to both sides of a conflict?
Because there's obviously a much easier solution to this problem.
the solution to the problem is not more guns. You can also turn it back on the domestic front,
where you say, what do you think is a better way to solve the gun violence problem,
to give every teacher a gun, or to create additional restrictions in the purchase of arms?
You're a Democrat, even in the state of Michigan, where universal background checks
is 90%. It's a 90% issue. It's a 90-10 issue. I don't think that she's in favor of arming people
more. I think she's in favor of taking away the guns, okay?
This is a very reactionary framework that she doesn't even believe in. She does not believe
in giving the fucking Palestinians an iron dome. I am, I'm in favor of taking it away from Israel
and giving it to the Palestinians for the record. Just so we're clear, okay? I'll say it. I say,
Take the iron dome from Israel and give it to Gaza. They they need it far more than Israel does. Okay
That's my take
That's not her take though
Okay, I don't think that's her take in the situation and I guess
How how you think because because like this two-state solution right line, right?
It's the party line for a long long long long time since the 90s and it just hasn't borne out
I think probably everyone on all sides of this issue could agree with that.
And so I wonder how you are breaking from the establishment in a way that would
materially benefit the people who frankly like my tax dollars are killing.
Yeah, and I'm glad that you framed it that way because I think there's a difference in how you ask your question versus Emma. One is...
She's... oh the knives are out!
The girls are fighting!
That's all for me close for Fox news again. Yeah, sure. Whatever. I mean, they should framework of the borders of the nation
Yes, dude, one side is doing the genocide. The other side is being genocided which side deserves the fucking defensive weapons more
Do you think it's the side that is doing the genocide that deserves the defensive weapons?
Or do you think it's the side that is being genocided that deserves the defensive weapons from a purely moral perspective?
Which side in this equation deserves it more?
or what kind of fucking stupid shit is this?
The other is what leverage does the Congress have
to help facilitate this negotiation?
I would have voted alongside the 40 out of 47 senators
who voted in the past Sanders resolution blocking arms sales.
And let's acknowledge how stunning it is that a year ago,
that number was significantly smaller than it is today.
My views on this have evolved because the reality on the ground has evolved. It has been horrifying to watch
how
Benjamin Netanyahu and the far-right government have prosecuted
This ongoing war against Palestinians war or genocide
Is against Yemenis
In a way that the United States cannot support simply put the Congress holds the power of the purse holds the power of
of funding and resolutions and that is where
I would view my role in coming in
is keeping an open door to everybody within our community.
Michigan is a very diverse state
where we have the largest Arab-American population
living side by side with a very significant Jewish population.
And Matt, your question is the universal truth.
I was in an Uber a couple of weeks ago
and the driver said, almost exactly what you said,
which is how can our country afford to continue
bombing other countries when we can't pay for our own kids?
That is where we need to step in and say enough is enough.
And we need to bring this to an end.
Yeah, I mean, you mentioned that how in Michigan,
you have people of different faiths, Muslim, Jewish people,
Arab people living side by side.
I think it's very American to believe in multiculturalism
as an ethic in that in gender's understanding
and when you can live alongside people
who maybe have different views than you,
it reduces the capacity for hatred.
It's why we don't believe in things like segregation
and apartheid, but Israel is an apartheid state.
And when we're talking about who has the right to have land
and to live in peace, I mean, we're recording this right now
on the anniversary of the Nakba.
And the Palestinians have been ethically cleansed
since you could say 1948, but prior to that,
from the land that is now Israel.
Do you not believe in multiculturalism
as an ethic for Israel and Palestine?
Because a shared land would be, in my view, American
and also the solution that we saw in South Africa
that could provide fairness for everybody involved.
Yeah, and it may very well be, you know, there are may very well be. What does that mean?
By the way, this is why people who are pro-Israel are actually
Not even low-key, but high-key unbelievably anti-Semitic
Okay
Or at the very least unbelievably
Islamophobic the notion that like Jews and non-Jews can just simply never get along is
is, again, both anti-Semitic and also unbelievably Islamophobic or at least anti-Arab, right?
It's just crazy. It's a crazy argument to make. It quite literally is the segregationist
argument in the United States of America. Separate but equal, please. We just can't
have these, we can't have our kids go to school in the racial jungle, which of course famously
was what Joe Biden said when desegregation was taking place, but it's a ridiculous argument
to land on in 2020 fucking six.
It's crazy.
We simply cannot have these fucking Arabs live with the Jews.
They just can't act right.
That's the argument you're making.
That's ridiculous.
That's an unbelievably racist fucking argument.
What are you saying?
like, oh, Jews just can't live with their neighbors.
Is that what we're doing?
Or is it that the Arabs can't live
with their Jewish neighbors?
It's bullshit.
People who have worked on this issue
for far longer than I have.
And I always try to check my own bias at the door.
I can't possibly understand what it is like to live
in the middle of the Middle East.
I can't imagine what it is like to have my home stolen
from me to have my family killed. And I want to leave the door open. I think it's important
for anybody who holds the role of a senator as a legislator.
Yeah, it's also a historical too, because Arabs and Arab Jews as well. But like, does
Jews and Muslims lived in this region in relative peaceful harmony for centuries? Okay. It is
Israel that has fucked the entire thing up. That's what's so crazy about it. Like the Ottoman
Empire was literally a fucking safe haven for Jews that were experiencing pogroms in Christian
countries, okay? Jews with escape, Christian countries, Christian areas where they were
constantly in the crosshairs and they would come to the Ottoman Empire as a safe haven, okay?
And that process went on for hundreds of years, and they lived in relative peace and harmony amongst the population.
In comparison to, you know, Spain, for example, it's just like, it's totally ridiculous.
and absolutely ahistorical to make it seem as though there is this like newfound Arab anti-Semitism
that actually wasn't new at all, that there wasn't any enmity or this enmity is not an enmity towards
Israel which bills itself as the Jewish state, okay? But this was an ancient anti-Semitism that
always existed amongst the Arabs and fucking bullshit is not real
to
it's a way for also
uh... europeans specifically to to abdicate their responsibility or their
or to whitewash or launder their personal
yeah yeah jews were forced to pay a special tax to put them in second class
citizens
oh shit dude
no way
i didn't realize it was just a jewish specific tax
maybe you should take that up with jewish historians okay
that have written extensively about the fact that the jizya
across the board for non-muslims muslims at a separate tax they were paying
under the Ottoman empire and then also additional amenities were given
to the non-muslims where they didn't have to serve in the military that's
number one number two
it was still
and unbelievable safe haven in comparison to europe where they were
getting fucking slaughtered
Yes, it wasn't peak-wokeness for 2026, it was peak-wokeness for, you know, the 15th century and the 16th century.
No one is saying it's fucking woke in comparison to modern-day existence, dumbass.
Yeah, but the idea that everything was fine was just not true.
It absolutely fucking was in comparison to what was going on in Europe.
That's why Jews would escape Europe to come to the Ottoman Empire.
You're wrong.
And yes, you made it seem like it was just a Jewish specific tax because you're a little bitch, okay?
It wasn't. It was literally infinitely comparable to the Inquisition or the pogroms that Jews were withstanding.
And two, it was a non-Muslim specific tax as in exchange for, or rather than doing the Muslim tax,
Non-Muslims would pay the non-Muslim tax. That's it. That's what jizya is
Like if this is so funny, it's like oh dude, you're fucking paying taxes like it's it's crazy like you would never make this argument
You would never make this argument for anything else
You would never make this argument for, like, chattel slavery in comparison to being able
to live freely in a society with discrimination, right? It would be the equivalent of, like,
comparing the end of the Underground Railroad, Canada, to, you know, not just the Jim Crow
South, I'm talking specifically chattel slavery in the South. That would be, that comparison is
ridiculous, right? No one is saying that racial discrimination in Canada at that time, while there
was literally slavery continuing, chattel slavery continuing in the fucking south, is somehow in
any way, shape, or form comparable to like the current liberal society and racial discrimination
that currently exists in liberal society. Obviously, there was racial discrimination in
in Canada, but it was infinitely better than being held and bound and sold as not a human
being but as property, right?
Relative to the continued legalized practice of chattel slavery, of course it was better
off overall for black people to live in Canada, to escape to Canada, where slavery was abolished,
though there was still racial discrimination.
That's the comparison you're making right now.
Check their own bias at the door, be open and objective.
And if there is, and I've heard from both Jewish community and their Arab community,
that you're right. A two-state solution has been something that has been attempted for a
very long time. We have failed to accomplish that so far. Perhaps in the second line of
argumentation here for all the fucking diehards that want to engage in a historical nonsense
for the record is the idea that there were still there was still conflict against us.
In the Ottoman Empire, there were still uprisings that took place. Of course,
it was a vast empire. It was an empire after all. And of course, there were still ethnic
Intentions that rose from time to time many of which was ironically still in the hands of Christians against Jews and Jews against Christians and
Rarely ever Muslims even though there were some instances where where Muslims also did this
I don't know why I'm fucking talking about the the history of this by the way, but
Let me just like dial it back here and have her respond to and I
Want to leave the door open. I think it's important for anybody who holds the role of a senator as a legislator
to check their own bias at the door, be open and objective, and if there is, and I've heard from both Jews...
No one's excusing European action towards Jews, I just reject the idea that Jews live happily in a society of second-class citizens along with others.
Brother, I said relative harmony, okay? Relative. Do you know what relative means?
Okay? Adjust it to the current conditions, adjust it to the conditions at the time, okay?
Relative peace and harmony.
That's it.
You refuse the premise because you understand, at least if you're a little bit knowledgeable on it, okay?
you understand that it was far better overall, but you just don't want to recognize that because it
doesn't suit your current argument. It is an ahistorical approach to say Jews were never allowed
to coexist in relative peace in Muslim lands before Israel. It's wrong. It's objectively wrong.
Bro, you're not gonna win the argument, just admit you're wrong, it's okay to be wrong.
Are you talking about me or are you talking about the other person?
There's no way you genuinely think that this is, oh, the chatter, oh, okay.
This is footage from the 1890s of Jewish people living peacefully in Palestine.
Fifteen years later, the cinema is taking its first steps.
Unimplied by the Lumiere brothers filming at Jerusalem station provide the first moving pictures taken in Palestine
From now on the camera is a recording eye and what it records is this
The society much like that. Yeah, the majority Jewish scholars literally called the time under certain Arab caliphates the Golden Age of Judaism. Yes
It's so funny
it's just like you're denying reality man you're fucking denying reality that's
all this is it's so it's so frustrating that people are doing this 10p camera
brother this is literally the first camera what are you talking about
Damascus or this is 1896 man in an Arab city much like any other
By the end of the 19th century, Palestine has 500,000 inhabitants, of whom 30,000 live
in Jerusalem.
A veiled woman, a sunny Muslim, one of the majority.
An Orthodox Jew, he too turns away from the camera.
we have an Armenian pope each of the Christian denominations has its church
here in the Holy City the holy places of the three religions are scattered
across a few hundred square meters
the great mosque is close to Christ's tomb further along at the foot of the
waiting wall, a Jew is reciting a prayer.
Jew with a fez. Yo, yo. That's crazy. That's a crazy site. I
didn't even know it was like that. See, this is I'm learning
new things too. He's wearing a Turkish taboosh. And though he
prays in Hebrew, his everyday language is Arabic.
Choose from half the population of Jerusalem, but in the countries at home they make up
less than 5% of the total.
Christians account for 10% and Muslims 85%.
All of them are subjects of the Sultan of Constantinople.
in April. Bro, that's not uncommon. My grandpa was Jewish in Turkish. Yeah, no, there's um,
there, there used to be a lot more, especially like even still living in Istanbul, a lot of
Jewish Turks. I just think it's funny. I don't know. I just, it's funny to see people wearing
fesses to me. But he was also crazy. He said all Greeks should have been murdered. Yeah,
that's that's a Turk for you okay yeah again American Jews are American first
Turkish Jews are Turkish first that makes total sense the province of Damascus
the same empire in the 17th century in the meantime it has lost the Balkans
France and Italy have seized North Africa England has moved into Egypt
The first recorded video was eight years prior to this one. That's crazy. Anyway,
Palestine Before Side is a Golden Asian article covers a period of 1860s and 1910s when Jews,
Muslims, and Christians were experiencing a Golden Asian Palestine, a social life in Jerusalem,
Tiberius, Hebron. Jews, Muslims, and Christians lived in the same streets, stopped at the same
stores, forgetting the same bathhouses, shared residential courtyards. This is the type of
shit that also pisses off Israelis more than anything else because it directly undermines
more than anything else, because it directly undermines the argument that Jews and non-Jews
cannot get along, and that there has to be, this necessitates a Jewish ethno-state, okay?
Not only is that initial fear from oftentimes Christian programs against Jews,
okay, and the unbelievable amounts of anti-Semitism that existed in many Christian parts of the world,
world, okay? That obviously is no longer as apparent. There's no systemic discrimination
that exists in the Western world largely against Jews. But it also doesn't suit modern-day
propaganda purposes because the opps, the allies now for Israel are largely majority
Christian nations in the West, and the opps are majority Muslim populations. So that's
the reason why they have to constantly undermine this like important period of
Jewish history. Christian musicians played a Jewish wedding, Jews performed a Muslim
Christian weddings, Jews Muslims and Christians started going to Ottoman
schools as well as all the Israelite Alliance schools. Palestine's Jews and
Christians used Muslim religious course to settle disputes amongst themselves.
Jews formed business partnerships with Muslims in the wheat, livestock and dairy
industries. Muslims and Jewish children from one courtyard would defend one
another against Muslim and Jewish children from another courtyard. Muslim and
Jewish women also breastfed another one's babies in the event of a death or life
when the mother is unable to nurse religious life, Jewish Arabs, like all the
stuff. Zachary Foster is a historian of Palestine, has a PhD from Princeton
University. I've had him on the broadcast in the past as well. He's written on, you
know, Palestine before Zionism at golden age. Many others have written about it too.
it's not just him. But this kind of stuff is very frustrating for Zion. It's one of the most
historically illiterate attacks against mum Donnie's knock-up poses, the outrage that he shared
a Palestinian Bosnian origin. An Aya Bushnawk's family came to Palestine in the Ottoman era,
Mujahid, uh, Muhadjid migrations and became part of Palestinian society see thread. Yeah
Anyway, let's get back to this video now community and their air community that's
you're right. I'm a two state solution has been something that has been attempted for a very
long time. We have failed to accomplish that so far. Um, perhaps in multicultural solution where
where people are living side by side is a better solution.
But I want that to come from the people who live there.
It shouldn't be the role of me to assert my views
on residents of another country.
Yeah, I'll move on a little bit.
But I think it's just, to me, it's like Israel,
who is the occupying power in this dynamic,
I mean, as recognized by international law,
does not want a multicultural state.
Obviously, that is when they say like,
oh, you guys want to destroy Israel.
What they're talking about is a destruction of the apartheid system.
they're talking about is bringing in equality. And so I guess I want to stay on for a second,
like how you could use your leverage as a US senator to stop this violence, which we all agree
has to stop, right? Like we mentioned, you draw a distinction between Israel's defensive and offensive
weapons infrastructure and currently support funding for the defensive part of that, like the
Iron Dome. I think a lot of people though might disagree with that distinction and say that
Israel's defensive capabilities enable their offensive capabilities? Like, you know, the iron dome
allows Israel, one might say, to operate with impunity because they don't face the same threat
of retaliation. So what would you say to that? I hear you. As you can imagine, this is a conversation
we have every single day in a state like ours, where we have vastly different viewpoints on the
right course of action in the Middle East. And it is the job to go in with an open mind and to
listen and to make the right most objective decision that I possibly can. And as I said at the outset,
it is increasingly the view of even Netanyahu himself that he wants to be able to do it on his
own and doesn't want to rely on foreign aid. There seems to be a recognition that they are going at
everything they possibly can and are losing the support of the world. They're losing the support
of Americans. And I will always, my pledge, is to always be objective. You know, I am not
so tied to an individual viewpoint that I'm not willing to change my mind when
the facts on the ground change. I guess then to that end, why do you support
funding to Israel's defensive infrastructure? What is I guess sort of
your positive vision in supporting that policy? You know what I mean? Because I
don't think anybody should live in fear of being bombed or killed. I would look
at how to be support defensive systems for Palestinians. How would we support
defensive systems for Lebanese? Should they get an iron dome to the Palestinians?
Let's talk about that as a conversation.
Well, I mean, the horror of living in fear
of being bombed constantly,
let's work with the outcome of how do we end the violence
period, but I mean, I, but then backing away from that,
how do we protect people?
I think then though that sort of probes that like maybe
we're coming from different worldviews here a little bit
because my worldview, and I think one that Emma has been
talking about as well is like multiculturalism
where we live amongst each other and wear multiculturalism
and respect for one another.
Which is easier, justifying a defense package to Hamas, which once again, I need to explain
this one more time. I am in favor of giving the Palestinian resistance an iron dome.
They deserve it a lot more than the party that is doing the genocide, okay?
I've actually jokingly talked about this in the past, didn't realize that it's now Mallory
McMorris foreign policy position, but what's easier? She's not to the left of me. Shut the fuck up. Okay
She's not to the left of me
You know
The iron dome is a starting point for what I think the palestinian resistance and the palestinian standing military in palestine the nation state of palestine deserves
Okay
That's just a starting point
But also, what's easier, you think? Restraining Israel with the weapons embargo or just giving
both sides defensive weapons and let them duke it out? Are we going to pave a new f***ing
air, an airfield for the Palestinian resistance as well? Are we going to give them F-35 jets?
Are we gonna give them guided and unguided gravity bombs
where they can use it when they're striking targets
with higher efficiency inside of Tel Aviv,
inside of Israel, is that what we're doing?
No, of course not, this is fucking stupid.
It keeps us safe.
And so like, you know, I don't want to talk about
like everyone getting their iron dome
and everyone arming up and everyone getting more
and more defensive and offensive
and everyone getting more violent and everyone.
I mean, you know, I just did a-
They should have just asked,
what other kinds of weapons would you be in favor
of giving Hamas?
It's so awesome. Um, so you're in favor of giving Hamas an iron dome, which is, I have
to say very cool, a very cool position that I've never heard from a, a Senate helpful
before. That's true. This is the first time I've ever heard a Senate helpful, a candidate
that's running for Senate say we should give Hamas the iron dome. Okay. Call it the Hamas
them, give Hamas the Iron Dome, we need to establish technological weapons parity between
Israel and Hamas, and therefore they need an Iron Dome and possibly nukes as well because
Israel has nukes. So how far would you go in establishing this parity, okay, between the
two belligerents? Yes, the balance must be restored. So how far would you go? Would you give them a nuke?
She didn't even say it's her position. She just said, yeah, let's talk, let's talk about
that conversation. Like we got to talk about how to talk about it first before she even
considers it. Yeah.
Episode that actually comes out today, which I'm very excited about with Naomi Klein about
Tucker Carlson's worldview that he has been espousing as of late. And he does view the
world that way where, you know, in America, we should bunker down and have our white Christian
nation and everyone else is bunker down in our own very racialized nations as well with
like tons of weapons and we're all segregated. And like I just find that to be such a grim reality,
you know. And so I think like, I'm wondering if your politics could come from a different place
philosophically, where it's not like, what about funding also the Palestinian Iron Dome,
where it's about taking away the Iron Dome from Israel, this thing that in my opinion allows
them to continue operating as a genocidal apartheid state unchecked.
No, and I think where you and I find agreement here is exactly that. Ideally,
We should be at a place where we're not armed to the teeth against each other
We we are a multicultural society in our country and yet we have more guns than we have people in the United States
I sat on the state Senate floor. Oh now now all of a sudden domestically no longer in favor of defensive weapons to
Defensive weapons to the teachers and the students remember what I told you this is a good. This is a great analog
Were you free to be like, okay, gun violence?
It's a this is an awfully reactionary perspective that you have here where you're like
Oh, we should give that we should have a conversation about giving defensive weapons or we can have a conversation about a weapons embargo to Israel, right?
Below four men with AR-15s and full tactical vests who I promise you wanted me dead
That is not the world that I want to live in the goal
Yes, is let's have multicultural society is where we're not attacking each other
I do start at that place and I want to make sure that I go in recognizing that I would have a
responsibility. I responsibility today as a state senator to check my personal beliefs at the door
sometimes and make decisions that are in the best interest of protecting as many people as possible.
And yeah, which again, this all moves back to continue giving Israel an iron dome,
but then also give Hamas an iron dome. That's awesome.
And do you think that Iron Dome is in service of that?
What is this?
I would love to get to a place where it's not needed, period, for anybody.
Okay.
Do you believe Israel has committed and is committing a genocide?
Yeah, we went through this on our campaign.
Based on the legal definition, I've said this, I do believe that it meets the definition.
I also heard in response from many of my constituents who had family that they lost in the Holocaust.
Is there such a personal visceral reaction?
Oh, oh shit. Oh, I didn't realize my bad, dude. Why didn't why didn't the international
why didn't the international authorities factor in the feelings of of people who are whose
whose grandparents passed away in the Holocaust. I didn't realize that's how it works.
This argument again is so fucking stupid.
You literally are saying they should get one, okay?
They should have a little bit of a Holocaust themselves as a treat, okay?
That's what the argument is. You don't get a fucking freebie.
What is this conversation?
Also, Matt is Jewish.
The incredible, incredible argument, okay?
So what comes next for the Palestinians if they have if you're cognizant of the reality that they have
Experienced the genocide do they get to have one of their own too?
Like how does this work? Where does this end again? Just be fucking honest. This is what I hate about politicians
They just can't be normal. They can't be fucking honest. Everything has to be
unbelievably
Centrist framed everything to be focused tested where you end up saying insanely stupid shit
Okay. Oh, well, you know, it just hurts people's feelings. It's a genocide, but it hurts people's feelings
Okay, I don't give a fuck if it hurts people's feelings. What do you mean? Is a genocide or not?
And if you're like, well, they get to have a little bit of a genocide as a treat because you know
Their ancestors were genocided then okay
Do the Palestinians get to now genocide another group of people because they were genocided as you recognize like where does this end?
again
centrists and like liberals who try to frame this like
weird middle ground on
objectively black and white issues of
Morality end up coming up with an unbelievably unreasonable solution
Solution is the same fucking thing with the whole like well, we should give the Palestinians an iron dome. Maybe okay cool
I mean sure
Sure, but where do we go? Which one is the easier solution to give the Palestinians an iron dome?
Which I think they deserve for the record and should get one okay
Or restrained fucking Israel what what are we talking about?
is so stupid. You become unreasonable in your effort to appear as the most reasonable, okay?
Jen, to that word, that moves us apart from each other. And when I believe that most people-
Yes, lay it forward.
In both the Jewish community and the Arab community and people who are not impacted
want the same outcome, why would we spend our time debating whether or not you agree with
the definition of a word and recognizing we have the coalition who wants the same thing,
how do we keep them together? I think that the definition is important because of international
law and we're seeing right now the Trump administration and frankly the Biden administration
was also a part of the degradation of international law and the rules-based international order.
And, you know, there was a Quinnipiac poll from August 2025.
This has probably increased since then that 77% of Democrats over half of
independents believe that Israel is committing genocide.
Don't you think that it's important to articulate that just to support
international law at a time when the foreign policy of the United States and
by extension Israel is might makes right?
I think it is important to listen to everybody that I would be asking for
faith and trust to represent and to build the coalition that
Yeah, we gotta we gotta listen to those who are being genocide it and we gotta listen to those who are doing the genocide
Both sides
Have a role to play one side is doing the genocide the other side is is is uh being genocide it okay
This is how it's gotta go. This is like again again. It's not radical to just say
I think if there is a tier of radical statements that just sound objectively insane
When you're so predisposed with trying to figure a fucking comfortable middle ground
You end up coming across like the insane one these guys literally do this all the time liberals do this all the fucking time
Okay
Like I know you guys named be radical be specific be extreme. You're not she is extreme
She's the more extreme position. I don't think our position is more extreme than this position. Okay?
There is no other
Issue where you would be like, okay
This guy is a pedophile. Let's hear from both sides. Like it doesn't work that way. You know what? I mean, you don't go
Hey, let's hear from the pedophile first. I know this is a convicted pedophile
But let's hear why he did the pedophilia and then we'll hear the victim as well. It doesn't work that way
It doesn't fucking work that way, what are you talking about? Yeah, let's hear from Jeffrey Epstein and then from the victims as well
so that we can, and meanwhile we're only funding Jeffrey Epstein, right? Like, it's ridiculous. You
sound ridiculous. Because the other hidden premise there is the notion that sometimes mass murder and
genocide is okay. And it's not okay. That is at odds with everything that people learn since birth
in modern liberal society. Okay? Yeah, I have German voters and we want everyone
to come together so I can't call the Holocaust a genocide is the argument
that you're presenting here which is an objectively insane argument. Okay, you run
a pretty hardball stance when it's just a video would you would love to hear this
type of pushback when they're on stream too. You got a big dog. I mean if Mallory
tomorrow comes on stream I'd love to have this conversation with her you do
also understand you said oh with like people a star and the like I mean with
Nithya I was you know pretty pretty stern right and she was seemingly in
agreement with me right was I not
I don't understand why people will accuse me of not doing this like there
There are certain people, there are certain people to, to have this sort of conversation
with, right?
PA three, uh, Canada, Shreve, Shreve, get, uh, get out of a rally with Senator Cory
Booker and Mayor Cheryl Parker.
Several empty seats can be seen as New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, Mayor Cheryl Parker.
I mean, maybe it's just starting.
Maybe the event has just started and that's why it's empty.
But again, this is, I don't think you guys understand, man.
You guys don't r-realize something, okay?
This is the, the most consequential, most impactful demographic in the district.
Okay.
Older black voters run the show here.
Okay.
I, you guys are looking at it and going, oh, it's, uh, there's no motion.
There's no motion.
It was at 11 AM Eastern Valley has been over for five hours.
Okay.
Still.
Like even when people were talking about like, oh, why are they doing this on a Monday
at 10 AM?
Is there all retirees?
I'm far more worried about Chris Rebs chances than many here are, it seems.
Anyway, that's totally different though.
That's irrelevant.
Let's get back to this for now and then we'll talk about it later.
We need to hit the same goals.
There is no doubt that war crimes have been committed.
There is no doubt that the pain and suffering at the vast expense of our taxpayer dollars
match your point that we continue to pay for this, needs to end. And I want to keep my
people together at a moment when so much of the emphasis is in the hand turn.
Yeah, I don't mean to be pedantic. I really, really don't with the genocide label. But
I think to me, identifying it as a genocide is important to like Emma said, give an internationally
understood and legal label to what is currently happening to a group of people. And to me,
like anyone's feelings about that word I think are not as important as like
recognizing what is still happening to people right now which is a genocide
under international law you know. How does your family feel about it? How are
those conversations coming? Well you know it depends on the family member and
and it's it's tense but ultimately I assume you know you're asking that
because I'm Jewish and you'd be right for that because it's especially
intergenerationally it's a tense conversation because people have you
know, different levels of, uh, you know, Zionist indoctrination and also differing sort of
proximities to the Holocaust and the timeline.
But I think though the difficult conversations that are happening within my family are less
important than the reality of what is pretty good.
I hate to give her credit because she's, that's a really good way to not respond to the question
and flip it back to be like, see, you're having a hard time getting across to your older relatives,
But that's not the question, you are a senator, okay?
You are a senator.
You have an obligation to the truth, okay?
My grandparents believe a litany of different insane things is the retort here.
They don't believe in climate change.
Are you gonna fucking come out and be like, I don't believe in climate change because
some of my voters don't believe in climate change?
You would never do that.
Hi, what if I have relatives that think every child should have an AR-15?
Are you gonna turn around and say, you know what?
We have to factor into our advocacy as Democrats that maybe some children should get AR-15s.
How about 10% of children that get AR-15s in school, in classrooms, as a reasonable mechanism
of defense?
Sometimes constituents have a litany of different insane opinions.
You are placing emphasis on certain opinions and you're giving a lot more priority to
certain opinions, even if they're fucking objectively ridiculous. That's it, you know?
Happening to the Palestinian people. So we've had those same conversations. My husband is Jewish.
And though I'm a step removed, there are certainly really, really hard conversations to your point
among generations within families. I respectfully-
You're a Democrat. Trying to win a Democratic primary in a state that literally lost,
was lost to Donald Trump because Kamala Harris wouldn't address this issue with conviction.
That was in 2024. It's 2026 now. This is a 90-10 issue. There is no
let's listen to the 10% here.
Okay, there's only, let's listen to the truth here, okay?
And then if you can't listen to the truth
and you only make these electoral calculations,
then there is no fucking need to listen to the 10%.
It's ridiculous.
There is no world where Mallory McMurray would be asked
what her stance is on protecting women's bodily autonomy.
Okay? Israel, and being pro-Israel, is polling at the same level of, should we restrict abortion
access, should we restrict medical access to women when it comes to abortions? Would
you say that about abortions? No! Of course you wouldn't. You wouldn't go, well, some
Some of my constituents want to stop women from being able to have, you know, abortions.
We got to listen to them.
You would never say that.
The only reason why people say this about Israel is because of donors.
That's it.
That's it.
That's fucking it.
It's so ridiculous, dude.
What the fuck?
She wouldn't say, I don't want to say I support abortion rights because it offends pro-life
people.
So I just say reproductive health, exactly, exactly.
She wouldn't say, well, my husband is a devout Christian.
And as a devout Christian, he thinks women shouldn't be able to get abortions.
So it's a tough conversation in the family.
And that's the reason why I have to strategically position myself on this 90-10 issue.
It's ridiculous.
ridiculous. So why would you do it for Israel?
Disagree, and I believe the responsibility of a legislator, somebody who represents,
I'm asking for the trust to represent 10 million people in a very diverse state that is a purple
state that could very easily go to the Republicans.
Michael. Yeah, totally.
Yeah. Republicans, by the way, also independence.
Republicans even are no longer as favorable to Israel
as Mallory McMorrah presents it.
This joy in the strab is a legislator is when I get to help people one on one.
And when I get to be a part of their story and.
Keeping coalitions together is hard work.
I mean, this is the type of shit that I would have said, by the way, if I had the opportunity
to talk to Mallory McMurray, it'd be great.
I'd be like, would you say that?
Like 10%, 10% of your constituents, 10% of all Michiganders, but certainly 10, more than
10% of all Michiganders, but 10% of Democratic Party constituents believe that there should
be restrictions on abortion.
Would you talk about the issue of abortion with this kind of language, with this kind
of wishy-washy, centrist, middle of the ground language.
You wouldn't.
You would never do that,
because that would be fucking ridiculous.
So why do you do that for Israel?
That's the question.
Why do you do that for Israel?
It was also a 90-10 issue.
I believe we can respect international law and the ICC
and have a legislator who respects their stances
and understands that in order to move forward to,
the goal that I think all of us on this call share
is to keep a state like mine together
and to not let this issue tear people apart
because if we let it tear us apart, we get my project.
Trump get the win.
And there is no love lost on the other side of the aisle here
with an administration that allowed Benjamin Netanyahu
to convince us to go to war with Iran.
I think, you know, because we're still in the primary,
especially like I'm pressing, you know, Democrats
a little bit more on this because we're not yet
really talking about the general.
And, you know, you say that it's more important
to keep the coalition together than to sort of fracture
over this one issue.
But I don't know, I think for me,
and I'm not trying to be antagonistic at all, I promise.
But sort of when I look at what a candidate
like Dr. Abdullah Sayed is doing around this issue,
it doesn't feel like we actually have to abandon dignity
and actual justice for Palestinians
to keep that coalition together.
I mean, like we said at the beginning,
you guys are all neck and neck.
Yeah, and I agree with you.
I don't think we need to either.
And that's not my goal at all.
I guess, you know, on this topic,
we've exhausted it a little bit,
but you also have groups like Amnesty International,
Human Rights Watch, and the Israeli organization itself,
that's Salem, calling it a genocide.
So I read that out just because I think that
when we're talking about how to keep a coalition together,
the 77% of Democrats that think Israel's committing genocide,
the 90% of Democrats that have a negative view of Israel
or don't wanna send them more money,
That would I imagine be the position that would be as unifying as possible because it appears like this is kind of a consensus opinion now within the democratic base.
I mean, I hear that it's reflective and I'm listening. I'm hearing I'm listening and I'm speaking. Okay.
Mcmore gives me hope because it feels like the maximum amount of lying establishment
Dems are willing to do and is still not working.
The problem with McMorrow is that she's not running in 2018, okay?
This would be a banger in 2018.
Oh my God, Resist Lives would be going crazy for her.
Problem with McMorrow is she's running in 2026.
environment has shifted so much, okay? That's it. That's the problem. We have a much more
diverse media diet, okay? People have an outright rejection of mainstream media. There's not
a lot of credibility there. There's no universal approach to shit like this. So when you do
actually have a coalition, when you do actually have consensus politics when it comes to Israel
and someone is still trying to hit the fucking middle ground, people are very skeptical of
that.
They go, mmm, no, I don't actually like what you're doing here, okay?
That's it.
I think what a lot of people don't realize is that politics in the democratic side have
always been about agreeability, okay?
Trying to be as agreeable as possible with not just like as large of a chunk of the base
as possible, but like agreeable with all the different elements, all the different stakeholders
within the party infrastructure, corporations, foreign lobbies, big donors, and the voters,
Right? In 2026, disagreeability actually works sometimes far better than that. Okay? Disagreeing
with the centrist forces within the party infrastructure, disagreeing with mainstream
media, disagreeing with corporations, that's actually good. That is how you establish credibility.
Polls and reading polls and asserting how campaigns should be run based off of polls is
is not a way that you win in a state like ours.
And Matt, I hear that you don't
talk about the case at all.
Well, it's both polls and morality,
both polls and international law and morality.
And talking about morality,
Trump put out an AI-generated video of Trump Gaza
and has told us we cannot afford daycare,
we cannot afford Medicare, we cannot afford Medicaid,
and not only that, but that states should tax themselves
even more to pay for those selfish things
so that we can pay for a war that he-
She's trying to bring it back to Trump like we both hate Trump right Emma's not gonna Emma's Emma won't bite on that
Should be like you're running up. You're you're running in the Democratic Party's primary
If you were to win this would send a message about what the voters want
Your your job here isn't to oppose Trump everyone opposes Trump everyone in this room opposes Trump
We are all in opposition to Trump
We are currently talking about the distinction between yourself and someone like I'll blow up say Ed and someone like Haley Stevens
Yeah, you're 100% correct
She knows that our donors don't want her to say genocide but her constituency wants that and that's why she's having a hard time saying it
I think this is the type of thing that should be addressed
I mean and by the way
I held fucking styres feet to the fire on this issue as well even though he's objectively far beyond every one of the top
contenders in the California governor's race. You know, I did. I was like, you can't call it a
genocide. Like, you don't think it's appropriate to call it a genocide? He's also been more responsive
on this issue in the other interviews that he's conducted as well since then. But like, again,
this is important. This is an important thing to call out. And the reason why it's important is
because there are also additional considerations that come along when you come to that recognition
because then you look fucking ridiculous. If you call it a genocide and then you say,
but we still got to give the genocide theirs money and weapons, then you look fucking insane.
Okay.
Yeah, same with taxing the billionaires. You held him. He was so bad in those questions.
Yeah, but he's now good on those questions. Ironically enough, he's changed his perspective on
those questions.
We took us into because Netanyahu convinced him to do so, and every single Republican in
the House and the Senate refused to vote on the War Powers Resolution.
So I agree, you'll find agreement, and I live and serve in a deeply purple state that has
to focus on November and Mike Rogers and the tens of millions of dollars that will be funneled
into this state because it is a coalition of-
purple state that also recognize the Israel's committee of genocide by the way deeply purple
is bullshit it's only purple because Kamala Harris you can literally make the argument
that is a purple state because Kamala Harris did not recognize that Israel was committed
to genocide and wanted to put an end to it that's literally the only reason why it's
fucking purple it was not purple it was supposed to be blue it is supposed to be a blue state
and it would have been a fucking blue state if Kamala Harris actually nipped that shit
in the bud and charted a different path forward with Israel openly said Israel's committee
genocide, we have to put an end to it. And I will put an end to it if I'm president. Okay?
I disagree. I agree with a lot of the things that Biden did. He's my president. He's been great.
But this is one issue where I think now is the time to say enough is enough. Okay? That's it.
As many people in the state as possible, you don't win in Michigan without independence. You
don't win in Michigan without Republicans. Yes, independence. Overwhelming majority of
of independence also fucking consider what Israel is doing to be a genocide.
I want to stop it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's this.
You don't you don't get to angle this as I am doing reasonable, moderate
centrism to win this fucking election against Mike Rogers.
This is stupid. This is dumb.
This is actually worse for independence.
Though it is keeping the Democrats together, keeping the Democrats engaged,
keeping our diverse communities together to recognize we have the shared goals we
do and it's hard work and it's work that I mean every single day so hopefully
there's there's not disagreement here but it is the work every single day I
would love to have Mallory Gorrow on the show people together so that we don't
lose a seat to somebody who would rubber stamp everything Trump wants to do who
will certainly not end this war or secure security for Palestinians anytime
soon if we're up to him yeah and I I'll wrap up I know you probably have to run
busy day running the campaign. I think neither of us would argue that every Republican is doing
all of this much worse. And none of us would argue in favor of anything Trump is doing.
I just think especially during primary season. No, this is a problem though. This is absolutely
a problem. This was the problem with Trump versus Kamala Harris. When you take a wishy-washy attitude
here, yeah, look, among independents, this is a new poll that just came out, 44% among
independent sympathize with the Palestinians while 29% side with Israel 68% opposed US providing
military aid to Israel while 28% supported. In case anyone cares about the general elections
is out of luck. It's over. It's done. It's done. It's gone, baby. It's over. New York
Times, Seattle poll 37% of all Americans, including Republicans, okay, sympathize more
the palestinians in the israeli palestinian conflict while thirty five percent side with israel
57 percent opposed to us providing military aid to israel while 37 percent supported
amma numbers guy amma numbers guy i chat you pete it i grok it it tells me
that you're a numbers guy patrick patrick bed david you're a numbers guy and it says uh the
numbers tell me it's over it's time i look at my watch very expensive watch okay i look at it
is Audemars Piguet. Okay. And the watch tells me it's time to say fuck Israel. Okay.
When we are, you know, being given the chance to put our, you know, what we think is our best
Democrat forward that we're, you know, pushing you on some of these issues, because I think
something that I'm sure you've heard is that a lot of Democratic voters feel like we have an
establishment that isn't fighting sufficiently.
And I 100% agree with you.
Yeah.
This is a party that's not meeting this moment, not, not only on this issue,
but which is why I also will refuse to meet the moment.
It's great.
On voting rights, on civil rights, on could you ever be normal again?
If they ever actually, you know, I'm Patrick by David, absolutely not.
I would probably do a Patrick by David voice for the rest of my life.
If they finally let me on value, tainment to value, tain the value, tainment fans,
because I'm a value, tainment fan.
I would probably rewatch my value attainment broadcast
over and over again.
I'd be grokking it, I'd be doing chat GBT.
Child care and healthcare,
and there's so much at stake here,
which is why I'm doing what I can.
I believe truly that we built a blueprint in Michigan,
in the legislature when we flipped control
of the legislature for the first time in my entire lifetime
that we can take with us to Washington
and build a party that knows how to fight
and knows how to win,
knows how to actually get things done for people.
totally. And I just want to mention, like, you know, as a New Yorker, I got over at My
City and, you know, push back on the idea that we have to make these sort of like middle
of the road concessions on some of these issues, especially like a humanitarian issue. You
know, we had mayors or on mom Donnie, who who just won in My City and, you know, one
in 10 mom Donnie voters also voted for Trump. There was a small but mighty MAGA for mom
Donnie coalition. And you know, it's it's a confounding. But that's, I guess, as yeah,
it's amazing. It's how the world works. And, you know, he's someone who who really didn't
concede on his on his beliefs on any of these issues. So of course, I would be remiss if
I did not encourage you to do the same. Mallory, thank you so much for joining today. I really
mean it. It's a pleasure to be able to talk to you.
Thanks so much.
Likewise. Thank you to you both.
All right. I mean, it's fun. They held their feet to the fire. I wish they were a little
bit more agro, but they were, I mean, she is purposely very agreeable. She's a much better
politician than I initially thought she was. She knows exactly how to sing to the tune
of liberals in the exact same way that Pete Buttigieg does.
I will admit, the fact that she even went on this obviously contentious interview is
good. It automatically gives her brownie points. And while they did push her, they never actually
got her to flub. She was very good at deflecting away from the main points.
He too both.
Cool. And that is our interview. I've been really enjoying talking to candidates, honestly
more than I thought.
I hate talking to candidates. I can't believe Matt likes talking to candidates. That's crazy.
Would and making these sort of like auxiliary episodes has just been a sort of nice creative
outlet for me in addition to like the conceptual episodes we make over here. I want to thank
Mallory. They were a million times nicer to her than anyone who's ever talked to Abdul. Oh,
for sure. But you also can't come across like a you can't come across like you,
You know our you know you got the knives out from the start again for coming on and giving us her time
Let me say oh man. I can't imagine probably knew we disagree on some things. She was gracious for that truly
And I owe it to you the listener to say that okay her final conclude if her final mass final conclusions are are just
you know
Please hear me out. This is only day three of me trying to get you to see the truth. It's a blue sky link. I'm not clicking on that. Patrick Buick David.
Was Matt's last name? Bernstein.
Um, yeah.
Carjority reported Matt Bernhout-Steen. Okay, stop. Stop with the car puns.
Please, please stop with the car puns. No more. Patrick Bentley David? Oh my god.
on
cement
are updated mom donnie stands by not but a video in the fears backlash what
backlash why the fuck is there any backlash to a recognition of an ethnic
cleansing campaign that the place all my god
everything is busted dude we live in unbelievably busted times
where if you fucking
recognize
a real ethnic cleansing campaign that took place you're a bad guy
and the people that don't want you to recognize
that ethnic cleansing campaign that took place are the good guys somehow
I'm going to be able to answer the first question and we'll go to the second one.
Thank you very much.
My message to Jewish leaders across this city is that my door is always open, that I look
forward to welcoming a number of those leaders to Gracie Mansion this evening for Shavuot,
and I also know that that is a door that we will keep open beyond just this evening's
event, beyond just Jewish American Heritage Month, and it is part of a commitment to be
the mayor for every New Yorker. And that means a mayor for those who voted for you, who didn't
vote for you, who didn't vote at all. And that also means that there will be times where
you will meet New Yorkers at an event, at a specific conversation, out on the street.
I look forward to all of those interactions. Your second question.
My second question is, you know, you want to be a mayor for all New Yorkers and families
of Congress, yet the city of New York seems to be outtaking more, you know, the city of New York
There are many knock what's arriving in your city acknowledging inverse pain does not produce you from the acknowledgement of other people's mom daddy and sisters doors always open for Jewish leaders.
open for Jewish leaders, she hits the Holocaust survivors are upset about it line, which is
crazy.
Like, can you imagine? Can you imagine being like, hey, you recognize the horrifying nature
of shadow slavery, but there are Holocaust survivors who were offended because it takes
away from, you know, their pain.
the fuck
First of all, there are Holocaust survivors who also recognize the knock-butt
Like it's it's such a ridiculous fucking argument. Like what do you mean?
There are plenty of anti Zionist Jews who survived the Holocaust as well for the record
So I was proud to commemorate Nakba Day, which is an annual day on May 15th that commemorates
the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians from 1947 to 1945 during the creation of the
the State of Israel and for the year that followed.
And it was a privilege to be able to share the story
of Iniya and her story as not just a nut per survivor,
but also as a New Yorker.
And I firmly believe that
acknowledging anyone's people pain
does not preclude you
from the acknowledgement of another people's.
And when it comes to New Yorkers like Iniya
and so many others,
not only has their pain never been acknowledged,
but so often we have seen that even their identity
is up for debate.
And my message to each and every New Yorker
is that this is a city for you
and that we will continue to.
Yeah, so a little bit behind the scenes
on the non-photography,
you know, how do you get that point of sight
to the discussion during the first day
of the recovery, how did you decide to do it in a way
why didn't you look here in the video?
Yeah, so you could just,
So May 15th has long been the day of commemorating the Nakpa and there are many Nakpa survivors
in New York City and we wanted to ensure that the focus of this was just to hear from a
New Yorker herself on her own memories of what it meant to be expelled and what her life
has been like and how she has found that home in New York City.
wanted to have a Nutba survivor be at the focal point of this video as opposed to myself.
I was intending to be there as part of it. However, I did fall sick and we didn't want
to.
Yeah, it's not like he didn't acknowledge Holocaust Remembrance Day. That would be insane
and also completely inappropriate for the record for any mayor to do. But yeah, it's
crazy. They don't do this for Armenian Remembrance Day. I mean, Turks do, Turks get mad, right?
like no one gives a shit and then no one should give a shit.
Do you see what I'm saying?
Like, not that long ago, last month, he put a post out for, uh, the, the, the
recognition of the Armenian genocide.
A lot of Turkish people got mad in New York city.
There's Turks living in New York city.
There was no, there was no media cycle, right?
There's no fucking media cycle where people were taking sincerely the
grievances of fucking Turks.
Uh, about, uh, Zoran's recognition of the Armenian genocide, it would have been fucking crazy.
That would have been insane.
Can you imagine?
Can you imagine the New York Times are like any number of different articles being written
about like, is Zoran Mdani undermining the Turkish position on the Armenian genocide
by recognizing the Armenian genocide?
That'd be fucking crazy.
Yeah, Mallory McMorrow be like, my Turkish constituents don't like the term genocide.
Eric Adams would never be sure the Turks like that.
Yeah, Eric Adams almost went to prison for his, you know, for his, his loyalty to the
Turk.
Shout out Eric Adams, the real mayor, my real mayor.
Okay.
Yeah.
There is no, you know, it's really fucked up.
Literally is the same as like people that sound a pissy people to get pissy the Juneteenth is a holiday
That's what you fucking sound like when you're like, oh, how dare you recognize the knockba?
Your analysis of Maureen Galinda was correct. She's a fan of Professor Jong yo I
Know my cranks dude, I know my fucking cranks. Okay. I'm telling you
She's got something she's got something that might be magic
Okay, she got some Marine Galindo might have something that we cannot understand yet. Okay
Okay, a professor
Jung
Lover can spot one in the crowd like a fucking stand user. Okay. That's who I am for all of you
I got I got a a I
Got a real eye for this sort of thing. Okay. I'm telling you I love my cranks
I know my cranks when I see a junkist in the wild I can I can spot them from a mile away
Yeah
Acknowledging the existence of Palestinians hurts my feelings and is a form of racism.
Is it insane belief?
It is diluted in racism and solipsistic.
Why does anyone have to take these lunatics seriously?
Yup.
Yup.
Yeah, my spidey sense is tingled when I learned about the existence of Maureen Galindo.
Did you miss the New York Times?
No, you didn't.
I mean, I basically gave you some top line, like Israel-related parts of the New York
times I'm sure Harry Emden will do a whole piece on it and then we'll look at it holy Toledo style
later. Also Turks did get mad about Mamdani's Armenian genocide recognition yeah it doesn't
fucking matter what do you mean like that's my point there's no motion in this everyone no one
in the media takes that shit seriously that's my argument my argument is like yeah Turks get mad
about it, but no one gives a fuck, right? It's, it's like totally ridiculous if this was a,
like, no, no serious institution, no serious newspaper in circulation in the United States
of America would ever genuinely bring this up with one of their beat reporters. Okay.
Why aren't you defending Eric Adams a real warrior for the Turkish people always and forever?
Okay, we lost the real one
We lost the fucking real one with Eric Adams, you know, what a shame
What a shame that Zoran did to Kia to me. Okay?
As a Shia 12er, he did to Kia to me Sunni Muslim classic and
and
and caused me to believe in him and
And then he betrayed he betrayed the Turks. It would never
It would never betray the Turks
Many of you don't understand
Many of you don't understand you you say oh he became Albanian afterwards
It's like a loss for New York, but a gain for Albania. Albania is the most Turk
Turk coded
European country out there anyway, so like his
His, his move to become Albanian has made him even more Turkish than before, truly an
honorary Turk.
He even severely mismanaged the budget and committed petty corruption.
Oh my God, that's right.
Eric Adams in many respects was ahead of the game because there has been a real alarming
Turkification of American politics, something that I've talked about quite a bit. And honestly,
Eric Adams was doing all of that. That is unbelievably Turkified.
Respect to Eric, Eric Odomolu, okay? Ankara impressed.
Anyway, United States is headed in the wrong track. 57% of the US voters says,
Don't know 11% right track 32% nations economy poor 49% net fare slash poor at 76% excellent
slash good at 22%. Oh my God. Thinking ahead of the November midterm elections. Are you
almost certain that you will vote very likely to vote someone likely to vote almost certain
across all U.S. registered voters at 43%, not at all likely at 5%, not very likely at 2%,
somewhat likely at 11%. If we look at the crosstabs, I want to see from party ID,
almost certain at 51% for Republicans, almost certain Republicans are 51% for Democrats,
That's 43% for Republicans, 39% for Indy.
It's not looking too good for the Republicans there.
Very likely at 40% for Republicans, very likely at 38%.
Some are likely at 10% for Republicans and 2% not very likely and not at all likely at
4% for Republicans, nice.
Looking back at combined congressional ballot, including, includes leaners of 2026 general
election for Congress were held today, which party would you vote for?
Which candidate, Democratic candidate, 50%, Republican candidate, 39%.
Comparing Trump-Harris results in the final 2024 New York time,
Seattle poll with today's generic ballot,
the only group that hasn't swung towards them is white college grads,
probably because they're 2024 voting preferences were never about gas prices
and inflation. This is consistent with what we find in our surveys too.
and apocalyptic 2026 environment for Republicans are definitely probably voting metrics or
D plus than a month ago, but one driven by young Hispanic and non white voters rather
than whites and white college voters.
Now, I'm not contrary to my Patrick Bet David impersonation.
I'm not a fucking numbers wizard.
Okay, I'm a numbers guy, but I'm not a numbers wizard. Okay?
But I told you this a fucking mile away. I told you this was going to happen that they were gonna snap back
Low propensity voters and voters that voted for Donald Trump for the first time ever
That that thought it was a gamble and that they were like fuck it. We ball
Let's break the system all together. It's not working
would realize very quickly that Trump was not going to follow through on his promises and they snap back.
The problem is, the problem is, it's not enough. The Democrats need to do more and they're not doing more.
Their communications, their comms are ass.
Okay, why do PBD and big yahoo sound alike?
Why you wear a counted uniform if not numbers got this not an account in uniform. This is a young
college Republicans uniform if anything Trump net approval 37% which is still
unbelievably high by the way holy fuck and net this rule at 59% goku ash
Naruto says cope I don't know what you mean by that
Oh, because I said young, is that why you wanted to hit me on that, you son of a bitch.
Anyway, let's take a look at some other polls that came out while I go pee.
They're stretching their budgets in a new CBS news poll this morning.
59% of Americans say gas prices are a financial hardship.
65% say the US economy is performing badly and 67% disapprove of how President Trump
is handling the economy.
Ed O'Keeffe is at the White House
with some of the implications.
And Ed, it's an election year
and people vote with their pocketbooks.
They sure do know are very good to see you happy Monday.
President Trump is back from his trip to China
and he's facing new lows in our CBS News poll
for his handling of the economy
with gas prices at more than 50% since the start of the war.
The president's now ramping up his threats to Iran.
The clock is ticking.
President Trump warned Iran better get moving.
fast, or there won't be anything left of them.
You cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.
Just days after insisting he's more worried about that than how the war is affecting Americans
back at home.
I don't think about Americans in an ancient situation.
A new CBS News poll finds seven in ten say they're frustrated or even angry about Trump's
approach to the economy.
Two-thirds say his policies are making it worse, and 77 percent say incomes aren't keeping
up with inflation. House Speaker Mike Johnson acknowledged Iran is a drag on the president's
poll numbers. As soon as we get that straightened out we will get back to the kitchen table
issues. But Trump did notch another big victory over the weekend. Thank you Louisiana! In
Louisiana's Republican Senate primary, Trump-backed Congresswoman Julia Letlow now heads to a runoff
after defeating Senator Bill Cassidy, who voted to convict Trump in his impeachment
trial after the January 6th attacks. On Saturday, Cassidy said this about how to handle political
defeats.
You don't have, you don't whine, you don't claim that election was stolen.
Now attention turns tomorrow to Kentucky, where the president's trying to unseat one
of his top House Republican critics, Thomas Massey. Massey has bucked Trump for years
on policy, including his handling of the war with Iran and the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
desperate. That's why they're sending the secretary of war to my district tomorrow. That's why the
president's losing sleep. Dude, this is one of the most insane stories, by the way. As of like this
past month, given by expenditure, the Thomas Massey primary has been the most expensive,
historically the most expensive primary. Number two is Jamal Bowman and
number three is Corey Bush. Notice a pattern there. Do you see what's going
on? What's going on? Democracy is supposed to be a pressure valve, a civic
duty, and yet democracy is no longer as democratic. Foreign lobbies are spending
billions of dollars, sometimes dumping $10 million into one Democratic primary race to
make sure that certain Democratic candidates are unseated.
What's going on?
What happened to the democracy I love?
What happened to the country I love?
The top three most expensive House primaries in history have all involved pro-Israel group
spending to get rid of an Israel critic.
Number one, at Thomas Massey, number two at Bowman, and number three at Corey Bush.
How ridiculous, KY-4 being the most expensive primary in history is objectively not some
clear evidence is about sending a message more than Massey as such.
Why is this appropriate?
Why is this allowed?
Seriously.
He's being targeted because he represents his actual district, not Israel, and he refused
to back down over the Epstein file cover-up.
It's crazy any Republican would want to replace him.
GOP elderly's need to find some self-respect and vote for a man with a backbone.
And yes, finally with the, you know, the tens of millions of dollars dumped in to this
race. Of course, it worked. Eddie Gallerain is at 51% and Thomas Massey's incumbent is
at 44%. Two factors at play here, obviously, the fact that Donald Trump is aggressively
posturing against Thomas Massey, but also the incredible amounts of money into opposition
research and marketing.
And what's even crazier is, Ed Galerain has not even done like a fraction of the campaigning
that Thomas Massey is engaging in right now.
It's so fucking annoying.
There's been a lot of talk about a civil war inside MAGA.
We've talked about some fissures that have emerged among conservatives.
Fissures?
Yes.
Blown up.
counter-terrorism official resigning in protest over president Trump's rule.
What was wrong? The traitors can't...
Masio also rejects the left very aggressively. He might lose Kentucky. Are you insane?
For a fucking lifelong deep red Republican? No, of course he's gonna fucking reject Republican.
He's a psycho, first of all. Like, I have respect for him for having consistency on this position
and standing by his convictions, but that doesn't mean that he's like a good guy overall or has a
decent worldview. Of course he's going to be fucking anti-left.
That fight might be coming to a head right here in northern Kentucky.
This guy named Thomas Massey. There's something wrong with him.
Representative Thomas Massey has held this seat since 2012,
and despite his loyal support for the Republican agenda,
I vote with my party 91% of the time.
He's in trouble, big trouble, with President Trump.
Thomas Massey is a disaster for our party.
What's landed him in this fight for political survival?
Two issues that have the potential to split the MAGA base.
Foreign wars and the upstead files.
It's a hoax that's been built up way beyond proportion.
This is bigger than Watergate.
Major combat operations in Iran.
I don't think we should start another war.
Because of this, Massey is now facing a Trump-endorse challenger in his campaign for reelection.
This is a real hero, Ed Galron.
And Big Money is backing up-
I don't even know his fucking name, by the way.
Trump's attempt to smear Massey.
This is officially the most expensive US House primary in history,
with over $25.6 million spent on ads.
Where'd that money come from?
It didn't come from regular people.
It's come from billionaires.
At least 95% has come from the Israeli lobby.
But this race isn't just about Massey and Trump.
It's a litmus test for the future of the MAGA Coalition.
So I'm driving around Kentucky to find Trump voters
and ask them, what's driving their vote in this primary?
Is it loyalty to the president?
or are the cracks in maga really starting to form?
This guy is awesome because he looks and speaks fluent Hoganese, okay?
He's so perfect for this.
I swear to God, every time he just does not stick out at all.
You see this guy in the fucking tractor supply code parking lot. You're like, oh, he's just you know purchasing tractor supplies. I
Think he's from West Virginia, right originally
He's he's so great
Yeah, okay
Oh, no, not resumes at Northeast Ohio boy. Okay. Yes, I did
I voted for Trump this last election. I've got my make America great again hat at home
It's nice and refreshing to actually have someone to stand up and say, enough's enough.
And so that's why I've been a Trump supporter.
And why anybody opposes that, I think you're a traitor to this country.
President Trump laid out the stakes for his base in this election.
Are they loyal to him?
Or not?
And with his popularity lower than ever, it might be a question of the strength of MAGA
as we know it.
So we ask Massey about it.
Do you view your race as a fork in the road to the MAGA base?
Well, I think the MAGA base is already split, as you point out.
Some have gone with the principles that Trump campaigned on.
Some have gone with Trump, even when he's changed his mind on things like Epstein.
Okay, let's dig into Epstein first.
For supporters of the president, the promised Trump and company made on this issue was clear.
Would you declassify?
Things they sell stuff attractors stuff stuff for tractors attractors supply law winky phase
brother
I'm a city boy. I grew up not only in
American cities, but I grew up in Turkish cities
Okay, I grew up in Istanbul and Ankara and then I went to Miami and then to New Jersey and then now I live in Los Angeles
I have never even seen
What they I've never even been around a tractor supply. I don't even think I've been around. I've been all around the country
I've been to the south
I've never seen a fucking tractor supply it's not
Tannerite they sell explosives
Hell yeah partner. I
Fucking love me some Tannerite. I love shooting a Tannerite with my 50 cal
A little bit of overkill, but love doing it anyway.
I bought ducks that track their supply once.
I love me some ducks to shoot at as well as tenorite.
I get big keeping supplies there sometimes.
It's kind of somewhere between a small town hardware store
and a home depot, nice.
Stop larping. I ain't larping. I love shooting me some tannerite. You know what I like getting?
At Tractor Supply Co. Ivermectin and not for my horsies if you know what I mean. Ivermectin
for me, and a little bit of ivermectin for the ponies. That's right.
We need to release the FCM list. That is an important thing.
Yeah, I'd be inclined to do the FCM. I'd have no problem with it.
But that urgency from the campaign trails seemed to evaporate once Trump was in office.
I thought it was ridiculous.
John Wardrobe voted for Trump in 2024.
He told me that the whole Epstein thing was a big reason why.
I thought it was completely ridiculous for the people who had gone on the podcasts, millions
and millions of views, and then turning around and calling it a hoax or that, you know, there's
nothing in here.
And I don't know if anyone in this country is going to get arrested for it, but there's
only one guy that's really trying, and that's Thomas Massey.
Massey is the co-author of the Bipartisan Epstein Files
Transparency Act, which he guided through a hostile
Republican Congress to force a public release of documents
related to the case.
We fought the president, the attorney general,
the FBI director, the speaker of the house,
and the vice president to get this win.
But now that they're out, how do the voters feel?
You think those files should have been released?
Oh, yeah.
And you're happy with how Massey's fought?
Yeah.
Look at that guy down, Ty, brother.
Hell yeah, Vietnam veteran of the army.
These are the real Americans, okay, none of them pussy boys with an English degree from
a liberal arts university.
Oh, this was a fire.
Yeah.
We got a picture of that as well.
It's so bad, dude.
at Texas Republican IRL featuring Austin and Wilma. This was awesome, except I don't
think I can get away with doing this shit anymore. This was fucking four years ago.
This was almost five years ago. Not four years ago. This was literally five years ago, almost
down to the day. And, and I don't, I don't think I have the, the low profile necessary
to do that. I've been on Fox news too much. So I, there's no way that I could do incognito
So at that point, yeah, Musalamic, God, we had such fucking fun times though, you know
what I mean?
God, I was so freaking fat too.
Look at my fit.
Oh God, what am I wearing, dude?
What am I, what was I doing?
Why did nobody stop me?
What was my hair?
that I had on was just garbanzo dead fuck okay the file saying to me that's a
dead horse okay no corona face mask brother we were in Texas they shoot
your ass if you were a coroner fake for fake corona face mask in the midst of
the pandemic brother.
We're in a God dang cowboy store.
You think I'll be caught dead wearing one of them pussy diapers on my face.
Are you out of your God dang mind for the China or what virus?
In the story, I say we release it and let the cards fall where they may,
you know, who knows.
maybe it might implicate Mr. Trump or President Trump.
The Epstein files, they're not important to me.
Everybody and their brother's on it.
I mean, what are you gonna do?
And I'm certain Republican and Democrat.
They would have lassoed me right there
in their cowboy store.
Ooh, like a pig.
They would have lassoed me and lathered me up.
They would have had their way with me.
Patriotic style.
Oh, baby. Oh, baby.
I don't want to release because there's something in there that's going to come back and bite them in the buttocks.
Yeah.
This guy's awesome. I can't believe real humans talk like this. God damn.
He said buttocks.
But with no new convictions following the release of the files,
It seems like the only ones, bits in the buttocks,
are the Republicans who actually followed through
on Trump's own campaign promise.
He was extremely angry at me
that I had signed the discharge petition.
Stupid people like Marjorie, Trader Joe.
I believe he's trying to protect friends and dollars.
Perhaps the worst Republican congressman in our history
is this stupid person named Bassie.
It's typical politician stuff, breaking promises
that helped get you elected.
But a lot of people voted for Trump
because he said he wasn't like your typical politician,
and they believed him when he made big promises.
At the top of my list,
we'll be stopping the slide into costly
and never-ending wars,
because I'm not gonna start a war, I'm gonna stop wars.
I am the candidate of peace.
I am the...
We can go to war, we can go to war.
When Donald Trump was campaigning,
one of his big campaign talking points
was no new wars, no foreign wars.
Yeah.
How important was that to you during the campaign?
That was really important.
You're going to ask me about Iran, Nasser.
Of course, for a self-described America First peace candidate,
the president's second term has been international and violent.
And Republicans on the whole have been pretty silent, except for Massey.
In January, US military intervention in Venezuela
forced a regime change.
The executive's military exercise to capture the leader of Venezuela
represents one of the most blatant usurpations of congressional authority we have seen in
modern times.
In February, the U.S. and Israel began military engagements in Iran.
Why are we going to war with Iran?
This administration can't even give us a straight answer as to why we launched this preemptive
war.
Massey's opposition to this war is one of the reasons why the pro-Israel lobby has
spent so much against him.
The United Democracy Project, a super PAC linked to APAC, has spent 2.6 million on anti-Masiads
in the Republican Jewish Coalition spent 4 million.
Another super PAC named MAGA Kentucky, which is backed by three pro-Israel mega donors.
Maryam Adelson, Paul Singer, and John Paulson has spent 5.6 million.
But what do voters who were promised no new wars make of all of this?
How important when you were voting for him was that campaign promise?
It was really important.
Trump is actually backpedal.
Yeah.
He's backpedal.
How did you feel once that campaign promise was broken and now we're in Iran?
Because he's doing what BB tells him to do and that's a pack and not for that.
It needed to be done for a long time.
Did you also feel that way when Trump was running, promising not to get into wars?
Did you feel like, well, even though he's promising this, we do need to go to Iraq?
Yes.
He's the only person that didn't kick the can down the road, you know?
Yeah.
I mean, they've been doing that for 47 years.
Yeah.
Somebody had to stand up and do something.
That was important to you.
Yeah.
Now we're in Iran.
How does that land with you?
I haven't got an opinion on it.
It depends how it turns out.
What the fuck?
It totally makes sense.
Representative Massey has been the most vocal Republican critic of the administration and
his party, and not just on Epstein and foreign conflicts.
Where the Trump administration has been pushing for immunity for pesticide manufacturers, for
the use of potentially cancerous chemicals, Nassie has been pushing to hold those companies
accountable.
They want to get out of court free cars, we're not going to give it to them.
He voted against Trump's big beautiful bill.
Well guess what?
It added two trillion dollars to the debt.
I said it would and it has.
And he bucked the majority of his party by voting against an extension on legislation
that allows the US government to spy on its own citizens.
A short-term infringement of the Constitution
is still an infringement of the Constitution.
All of this independence, it's made
him vulnerable in this primary race.
Give me somebody with a warm body to beat Massey.
Massey's primary is May 19.
He's up against Ed Galer, Trump's hand-chosen opponent.
He's a hero.
He's a farmer hero.
In a way, the election is a test of the price anyone might pay for going against Trump.
Will massy be punished by voters for disloyalty or rewarded for his independence?
How important is it to have someone who's just loyal to Donald Trump and whatever he
says versus putting a check on Donald Trump?
No, definitely putting a check.
You should put a check on anybody because there shouldn't be one person who ruled the
country.
Okay, now.
How did Hogs learn about APEG? It's awesome, dude. It's because it's over. It's fucking
Jovert. That's why.
That's a fine line there, too. As long as your president is taking care of the country
and the people from the country, then I give him 100% of support. No matter what.
So back to the reason I came out here. Which way are these voters leaning?
Is it enough that Trump supports his opponent? Would that do it?
I don't know that that's one way or the other. I'll look I'll look at it. What do you think of Thomas Massey?
I think he's good. I like what he's going for. I'll definitely vote for him. Are you voting for Ed in this race?
Yes, I am. And what's behind that? What makes you vote for Ed? Well
Number one, Trump's endorsing that helps. Fuck me, dude. Not a single thought
inside of that thing, okay? Not a single thought in that noggin, bro.
Not a single one. Well Trump is my God, and I love it. I love him. He is my alpha hand Omega
Not a Trump is God and God demands that I vote for this new guy now. Him and the dog share the same
brain cell? No, the dog is way smarter than this fucking thing.
The dog has survival instincts. He does not.
I believe that Thomas Massey was MAGA before MAGA was coined phrase.
I want a clear thinker. I want somebody to make their own decision,
not make a phone call, how should I vote?
So does Massey have your vote?
Massey has my vote.
I talked to a lot of voters on this trip.
What I found is that while there are some cracks
in the MAGA movement,
we don't know where they're gonna go yet.
And even the people crossing the president's endorsement
and voting for Massey,
don't see it as turning against Trump.
You want more Massey's?
Yeah.
Yeah, if we get enough of that,
and maybe a few more Trumps,
we can actually get stuff moving.
If that contradiction sounds confusing to you,
you have to remember,
voting against Trump's preferred candidate
is still a big deal,
even if the voters I talk to don't see it that way.
Up until now, almost all of Trump's endorsements-
It's a cult, it's a cult, it's a cult, it's a cult,
it's a cult, it's a fucking cult, it's a fucking cult.
That's it, it's a cult.
And I do think, I do think that because it's a fucking cult,
Well, this like relatively unknown Ed Gallagher or Ed Galran or whatever the fuck his name
is might actually win.
And he's done like, he has such little presence, an unbelievable amount of money that they're
spending against Massey and it still doesn't fuck a matter.
It's a goddamn call, Trump said it.
And on top of that, there's like, you know, 15 million or even more than that now, a tremendous
amount of money being spent here. And centrist Dems want to win oversight call. Wow. What
are the conclusion? Can you come to other than we should reorient the entire pro-passline
project towards groveling at these demographics? Yeah. The only demographic groups with majority
support for additional funding to Israel are voters who approve of Trump as 68%. Republic
is a 66%. Trump voters are 62%. Voters 65 plus at 53%. The West and Northeast are the least
pro-Israel, while the South is the most pro-Israel. Evangelicals are in a death cult, okay? And
that death cult has a leader. His name is Donald Trump. It's over. Just stop trying
to win these fucking guys over, okay? There is any calculation, any calculation that
revolves around trying to win this suicide pact cult, this suicide cult that exists in
the United States of America that just genuinely wants to commit suicide by the way.
That's what the rapture is.
Is delusional.
You're out of your fucking mind.
Stop.
You can win them over by saying, hey, I know you're in a suicide cult, but in the interim
before the rapture happens, would you like some healthcare?
And if they say yes, then great.
But trying to reorient your politics to win these fucking psychos over is insane.
Okay?
It's insane.
You are not going to win them over with Centrism anyway because there's always more madness
on the other side of the cult.
You can't just be like 20% of the way into the cult to win these guys over.
It doesn't work that way.
What the fuck?
I just, you know what, you know what's really fucking annoying about this shit too?
Like with the whole like, Kamala could have won, uh, people, right?
The Kamala just didn't pivot, uh, uh, and, and didn't hard pivot to being moderate, hard enough.
Now, all of those people recognize that it is a cult.
On the one hand, they say it's a fucking cult.
On the other hand, they still go and we got to win them over with more moderate
positions.
You just don't want to win.
You don't want to win at all, okay? That's all this is.
Isn't this basically what we wanted a president Bernie Sanders to do?
Use power to target corrupt Democrats and help install his ideological allies in Congress?
Yes, except Bernie Sanders is good and Trump is bad.
Both in, uh, Bernie Sanders and Trump can have good politics,
but have diametrically opposite policy, okay?
Trump has horrifyingly bad policy. Good politics. I'm not gonna argue against it. I mean, he's ruling
with a goddamn iron fist. They're doing good politics. Trump is doing good politics. He's doing
horrible policy though. He's doing good politics to advance a horrible policy agenda.
Okay?
Okay?
Ugh, it's just fucking ridiculous.
What are the consequences for standing up to Donald Trump in 2026?
Maybe that's why even Massey, the Trump critical candidate,
is campaigning on their similarities and not on their differences.
Despite being the target of the president's rage,
and the receiving end of millions of pack dollars spent against him.
He's cheating with the squad on the American First Movement.
Massey told me,
I'm telling you right now, dude, like, this is, this is a subverting democracy.
It's not about the democratic process, right?
And it's certainly not about policies.
It's certainly not about like someone who will fight for you.
We saw that, we saw this in Idaho, right?
So it's in Idaho in the primaries.
We saw this with what's his face, the doctor that dared, who just lost his seat.
He couldn't even, he couldn't even get there.
He barely got third place as the incumbent in Louisiana, okay?
What's his name?
Is it in Bill Cassidy? Like it's it's just a fucking cult.
It's just a goddamn cult. That's all it is. What Trump says goes. Okay, Trump is God.
And if Trump says, you know, mass has got to go, there's a good chunk of Republicans that will say,
All right, Massey's got to go.
That's it.
We got to vote him out.
He's betrayed MAGA because MAGA is not
a certain set of defined principles.
It's whatever fucking Trump says it is.
That's all this is.
He doesn't see much of a problem.
I'm not running against Donald Trump.
I'm running against a guy who was endorsed by Donald Trump.
People recognize that.
And the bulk of my voters in my polling
are people who support Trump and support me.
I think if I win this race, we can get the team back together.
we can get the band back together.
It shows that you can still be for the principles that Maggar ran on.
We'll find out if that's true or not with next week's election results.
But this race has got me thinking about a bigger question too.
How many broken promises is too many?
And which promises are the ones that matter?
Do you think that Donald Trump continues to break campaign promises?
That he puts at risk the movement of people who believed?
100%.
He risks.
Yeah, Cassidy came in third place just because he voted to convict Trump for January 6 five years ago
That is where the Republican Party's politics is also holy shit. Look at the belt
That's where it is. That's where the Republican Party's politics is
They hold on to like insane idiotic grievances of
Politicians that have offended Donald Trump
Donald Trump's grievances are their grievances. It's just a cult
How else can you describe it?
There is no other way to describe it.
Well, even if he might be right on some things, feeling at least, like they were lied to, or even worse, betrayed.
Because broken political promises have actual costs.
How's the pain at the punk band lately?
Oh, it sucks. Especially with the business we got when we're trying to start.
We started this spring. Three Amigos lawn care.
It's me and my two brothers and right now we're behind just as the gas yeah
The one first was planning it all the prices weren't here. Yeah. Well, I did vote for Trump
But yeah, you're lately and then kind of
Because everything he's saying ain't really happening, you know, I do call myself a Republican but but now it's five years from now things might change
Smash like and subscribe to more perfect union like Phil right here
Right Phil. Yeah, and if you liked what was in this video, you can leave story ideas in the comments
You can tag us on Twitter like Phil here
I take talk to cheer you up
Okay, check in Twitter on my laptop is not on we watched this so many times today
So funny
Yeah, Trump is live with the pharma thing that he's doing. I don't really care about that though. Let's get back to
modern-day America right now
America's largely disproved Trump's handling of the economy CBS News
And say it there the Pentagon confirms secretary Pete Heg set to set to make a campaign style appearance today in his quote
Personal capacity for congress and masses trump backed upon the gallerine. It's already the most expensive house primary campaign in history
history, totaling more than $25 million spent so far.
Right.
We'll see how this turns out tomorrow.
Thank you very much.
And we're joined now by Republican Congressman Thomas Massey.
Congressman, thank you for joining us this morning.
You just churned Congressman Raskin right there, saying the Democrats are going to move
to block this funding if the deal goes through.
Will you vote to block it?
Well, I think we should change the laws.
It's almost impossible to sue the federal government if they infringe on your First
Amendment, your Second Amendment, or your Fourth Amendment.
And so we should change those laws so that, to give people standing when they've had their
rights violated.
Trump's taking questions on Iran right now.
Oh, nice.
Okay.
Getting very close to making a deal.
And if we can do that, where there's no nuclear weapon going into the hands of Iran, I think,
and if they're satisfied, we will be probably satisfied also.
We've informed Israel, we've informed other people in the Middle East that have been involved
with us.
You know, it's a very positive development, but we'll see whether or not it amounts anything.
We've had periods of time where we had – we thought pretty much getting close to making
a deal and didn't work out, but this is a little bit different.
Now, we're ready going tomorrow, very big, and not something I wanted to do, but we have
no choice because we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.
Yes.
Justice Department has this new fund that was announced today, 1.7 billion dollars.
Why should taxpayers pay for the January?
Well, it's been very well received.
I have to tell you, I know very little about it.
I wasn't involved in the whole creation of it and the negotiation.
But this is reimbursing people that were horribly treated, horribly treated.
It's anti-weaponization.
They've been weaponized.
They've been, in some cases, imprisoned wrongly.
They've paid legal fees that they didn't have.
They've gone bankrupt.
Their lives have been destroyed.
And they turn out to be right.
I mean, it was a terrible period of time
in the history of our country.
And they worked on it.
I know the Justice Department, it's really been working on it
very hard.
There's been numerous other occasions over the years
where things like this have been done.
But these were people that were weaponized and really treated
brutally by a system that was so corrupt,
with corrupt people running it,
and they're getting reimbursed for their legal fees
and the other things that they had to suffer.
Yeah, please?
Daniel?
Daniel?
Hold it there, please.
Mr. President, it's pretty remarkable seeing you
and Mark Cuban up there, and the fact that, obviously,
Mark endorsed Kamala Harris back in 2021.
Well, he made a mistake.
Who's a good mistake?
What does this say about what you two are building here?
Well, it says we love people.
We love our country.
country. He wants to, he's got a good company and he's going to do a lot of business with this and
I'm going to get drugs out through Amazon through the whole group and we're going to get drugs out
and Mark wanted to be a part of it and I think Mark was very gracious. He said this is something
that really works. The first time you've seen it and he had to believe that if he said it about me
you have to understand that but look I think I have a lot of respect for Mark Franklin and I always have
Go ahead, Ebola.
Ebola, you said Ebola.
Go ahead, Ebola.
You said Ebola.
Yeah.
Sure.
America is concerned about Ebola.
Yeah, I'm concerned about everything.
But certainly am.
I think that, you know, it's been confined right now to Africa.
And, but it's something that has had a breakout.
I could ask Bobby or us to say a couple of words about it if you'd like, want to do
that?
I think Heidi Overton is going to come up and give us a few words, your guest.
Dr. Overton, thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. Today, the CDC held the press briefing that
provided a lot of the answers and information, but we have stood up a full interagency response.
The Department of State, the CDC, the Department of War, everyone is fully involved in tracking
this. Today, we do have an announced today at the press briefing there. There is an American
that is symptomatic and has tested positive for a it's the boondi boujee virus, a strain
of Ebola. That American as well as six other high-risk contacts are going to be taken out
of that region and taken to Germany. We want to thank our German counterparts.
Yo, that shit jumps to America. We're fucking dead, dude. I don't even want to know.
I don't even want to know what the leadership of RFK Junior looks like with Ebola.
it's so jover all my fucking god
we have instituted just today
uh... entry restrictions for non u.s citizens that are
uh... that have been in the region in the past twenty one day so in new ganda
democratic republic of condo congo and south sudan
so very serious measures that have been taken
uh... we are
working to communicate very frequently with everyone your question was should
americans be worried
right now there are
Everyone will take mandatory ivermectin to make sure that the fake virus of Ebola is cured.
It's both fake, but also you should still take ivermectin for it. It's so good.
Well, they dangled a peace deal in front of you saying one was coming. Nothing has come into
of fruition. You mentioned this.
Well, lots come into fruition. We've taken a country that was going to have a nuclear
weapon and we've virtually destroyed its military. They have no Navy. They have no air force.
They've been virtually destroyed militarily. That's a lot. That's a big – we could leave
right now or take them 25 years to rebuild. The last thing they're thinking about, I
think, is nuclear. Now they have to put it down in writing. But when you say nothing,
We've totally destroyed, excuse me, from CNN, we've totally destroyed the military.
We've destroyed their leadership.
As you know, their leaders are gone, their leaders are gone at the first level.
The second level, we're dealing with half of the third level, and I think we've made
a lot of progress.
And it's very simple.
You know, we don't want to go through this.
We had the greatest economy ever.
We still do.
The stock market had a brand new high little while ago.
Sir, I know Ebola is not as transmissible because it kills.
RFK would find a way to make it.
RFK would be like, you need to all get Ebola to make sure we develop a strong herd immunity.
I ran because they are desperate to have a nuclear weapon.
And the only reason they wanted is to use it.
And I said, I hate to do this because we're doing so well,
but this is the most important thing we can do.
We can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon.
So we did that.
And when we did that, we were met with a little force
and we ended up destroying them.
We now have a tremendous, we built a really steel wall
where no boats are blockade, where no boats are able to,
not one boat has been able to get through our blockade.
So good.
Our blockade is even better than the Iranian one.
Anywhere in the world.
just left China, and I will say President Xi was very, very complimentary of our military.
He was amazed, actually, at our military. We have the greatest military in the world.
We're not going to let Iran have a nuclear weapon. So I was called by these three countries
plus others, and they're dealing directly with our people and right now Iran, and there
seems to be a very good chance that they can work something out. If we can do that without
bombing, the hell out of them, I'd be very happy. Please.
Do you believe that people who committed violence against Capitol Hill police officers on January 6 should be eligible for compensation from this DOJ fund and are you or your family members going to be seeking compensation from that fund?
all be dependent. Why is our case ties so thin? He likes his thin tie. I think it's a committee of
five. And again, I didn't do this deal. It was told to me yesterday. They said they're doing
something. I do believe there has to be compensation for people that were destroyed. You have families
absolutely destroyed. And it's all going to be determined by a committee of four. Everything
is so nutty, bro. Also, new reporting came out this morning or yesterday that Trump has made
700 million dollars to almost a billion dollars in trades in the beginning of this year alone.
It's just so much corruption. So much fucking corruption. And now they're dropping the IRS case
and they're forcing the IRS to do a 1.7 billion dollar slush fund that Trump has complete control
over. He has complete control over the slush fund and he's going to use that slush fund to pay out
January six families
Okay, which by the way, he probably won't even do that. He'll probably just like take the money and pocket it but like
What the fuck are we doing? How is how are Americans not grabbing their pitchforks?
How are the Trump supporters not grabbing the pitchforks? Oh, that's right because the fucking call
It's a call. Please sir. I lose my job if I don't do it
I very I was very proud to enter identification and everything else
I mean you want to have proof of citizenship you want to have a voter ID you want to have all these things
But to me maybe the worst of all is the mail-in ballots where they come in so and as you know in Maryland
500,000 fake ballots were sent out when they were caught
They said oh, we'll pull them back and they issued
500,000 new ballots and as you know, they never got the original ballots back
So there are a million ballots out there many of them went to Democrats and it's a very serious thing
And I'll tell you I've looked at Maryland for a long time
And I know Maryland pretty well, and I was told that it's automatically a Democrats day
And I don't believe that because I think I did really well there and I don't believe it
But the issue does you just got caught recently five five hundred thousand ballots illegal ballots were sent down
And they were totally fraudulent and then they said oh well pull them back
Well, they didn't pull them back and they have 500,000 new ballots go out of one in California
If it wasn't for the mail in ballots come in and infect our system
So it's a very very serious thing that's happened and I've asked the
Law enforcement to look at it very very strenuously. I want to thank you all
This is so we're so proud of it
I don't want to thank Bobby and Oz and Mark and all of the people that are here and Joe great job
You are really something I heard about you for a long time
And now you're doing something that's more important than anything you've ever done and you've done some beauties
Thank you very much. Thank you very much everybody appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you
Well, how are they missing and he knows they went to the Democrats. Yeah, no, he knows I know it otherwise
And any vote that was cast against me is obviously a fake vote
All right, getting back to Thomas Massey
Uh, as you guys might have noticed we're talking quite a bit about how cultish
MAGA is
and and of course
Thomas Massey is on the receiving end of the MAGA cult for
Standing by his constituents and also
Standing by his principles
Because people have been wrong, we need to make it easier to get that money, but that's
actually what Congress needs to take.
I don't think you can do that.
You can't just take a billion or $10 billion unilaterally with the executive branch.
Congress has the power to purse.
So to be clear, then you would vote to block this funding and change the law in other ways?
I don't think there's going to be a vote to block the funding.
I would change the law in other ways.
Well, the Congressman just said there would be.
I guess we'll find out if there is.
meantime, you're facing a primary on Tuesday in the wake of Senator Bill
Cassidy has lost in the primaries yesterday in Louisiana. The president
has been up posting on true social throughout the night and into the
morning about you just a few minutes ago. He posted this. I want to show
our viewers right now. Bad Congressman Tom Massi voted against tax cuts. The
border wall or military enforcement. Actually voted against almost
everything that is good. The worst congressman in history. Kentucky vote
the bum out on Tuesday. We can't live with this troublemaker for another
two years, he's a true negative force. Your response?
Well, I think that's going to help my fundraising at ThomasMassie.com. Every time he tweets
about me, it's good for, you know, some money coming in because people don't like that.
And you know, how did this race become the most expensive race in the history of Congress
for a primary? It's because three billionaires from outside of Kentucky have funneled millions
dollars in here they're trying to buy a seat and so it's not just the president's tweets
I could sustain those without a problem it's because Miriam Adelson and Paul Singer have
dumped money in here in fact Miriam Adelson has given so much money to my opponent that
instead of paying for the ballroom they're going to need taxpayer money for the ballroom
now.
Well you see and you've actually said this week that this your vote is a referendum on
whether Israel gets to buy seats in Congress.
What do you mean by that?
Well the RJC, APAC, and Miriam Adelson and Paul Singer, they're all part of the Israeli
lobby and that's where all the money comes from.
And it will be a referendum on foreign policy, whether Israel gets to dictate that by bullying
members of Congress.
And I'm the one they haven't been able to bully, so they're putting all the force on
me.
But you can tell that I'm ahead in the polls and they're desperate, that's why they're
sending the secretary of war to my district tomorrow. That's why the president's losing
sleep and tweeting about this. That's why a bro is chubs or no, no, no, no, not at all.
Because Trump loves Zoran. Trump fucking hates Thomas Massey. Ironically enough, he's actually
kind of the opposite of Zoran in many respects, because Trump is more likely to endorse Zoran
Mamdani for reelection before Thomas Massey, okay?
Pack has dumped another $3 million into our race this weekend.
It's because they're panicked, and they really haven't been able to gain a lead in this race.
You see, the president is desperate, but he's got a pretty good record of defeating people
wants to target in Republican primaries. We saw Bill Cassidy yesterday. We saw what happened
in Indiana. How are you going to be able to overcome the president's opposition?
Well, I have the endorsement of the right to life organizations, the gun organizations.
I had four members of Congress come here yesterday and campaigned with me.
So my situation is a little bit different. Plus, I've had millions of dollars come in from the
the grass roots, tens of thousands of donors to my website, thomasmassey.com, and it's
still coming in, and that's how we're going to beat them.
The Senate is poised to pass, trying to pass, a billion dollars in funding for the White
House renovation that includes the ballroom, the security funding.
The parliamentarians ruled out of order, but the Senate Republicans said they're going
to fix that.
If it comes to the House, will you vote for that funding?
No, I don't think we should.
You know, we originally told that the president's friends were going to pay for this ballroom.
And again, one of those was Miriam Adelson.
And I think she's poured so many millions of dollars in my race, they don't have enough
money for the ballroom anymore from her account.
Congressman Massey, thanks for your time this morning.
Maybe Miriam Adelson and Paul Singer didn't particularly go to Epstein Island.
They probably have enough money to buy their own islands.
But they certainly go to dinner with the people that were at Epstein Island.
Is this about Israel interest?
Of course.
Epstein was part of
massage operations and even our
congressman.
Do you think that all of this money that
APAC and other pro-Israel donors
are pouring into your race is equivalent
to bribery? Is it
quid pro quo?
Because
it's all for an interest
money, I think it's a dangerous
precedent.
This were
people who cared about America
constitution and our infrastructure and our rule of law that would be different, I think,
but these folks are trying to send a message, which is if you're a Republican, you better
do whatever Israel wants. I think it's going to backfire on them. They're going all in,
they've pushed all the chips in. Miriam Adelson's probably spent more money on my race than
and she is on the ballroom.
What are your, I mean, would you extend that logic
to the big pharmaceutical companies,
the defense contractors that are big oil companies
that are pouring money in?
Do you think that that is also corrupting
sort of the democratic will of the American people?
Well, APAC.
Now listen, I'm still a Republican now, okay?
I said APAC, I didn't say,
didn't say oil and gas was bad. Oh, come on, man, not right now. Not right now. Let
him, let him say the course. That's good old wholesome American born corruption.
I like that. None of this Israeli corruption. Yeah, I said a pack, not all
All PACs?
PAC is kind of a proxy for the military industrial complex.
When they used to try to lobby me, they tried to convince me that the aid to Israel would
help our country because it would all be spent in gift certificates, et cetera, local Lockheed
Martin and Raytheon outlets.
And I'm not buying that.
Americans are not better off when we build bombs for Israel and then pay for them and
and then drop them on people in the Middle East.
You think this has to do with the fact
that you've led the push to investigate Jeffrey Epstein
and he's had ties that have been established
between intelligences like Assad?
Well, this has a lot to do with the Epstein class.
Is it just pure coincidence that one of the three big donors
against me is in the Epstein files,
organizing an event for Howard Lutnick
and shaking down Jeffrey Epstein for money for that event.
I mean, I think it's pretty interesting.
And, you know, maybe Miriam-
What's Republican about Massey?
He's anti genocide and anti Epstein class.
That's as good as progressive in my non-American books.
Yeah.
Just don't look at anything else.
Okay.
Pretty much everything else is maximum Republican, right?
like we're talking, we're talking mass deportations. He's on board with, he loves ice, he venerates
ice, oil and gas drill, baby drill, pro life. Women can't get, women can't have abortions,
unbelievably anti LGBTQ. He is, you know, he, he is a Republican through and through.
Okay, down to the goddamn bone.
You're kind of ruining the moment when you say,
when you ask questions like this,
because I want to say like he's damn, oh yeah,
tax cuts for the rich, small government, deregulation,
all of that good stuff he's on board with.
I mean, he's voted with Trump's agenda 91% of the way.
He's just literally the only thing he's good on
he's exceptional on. I'm not even gonna say good, I'm gonna say exceptional, is his consistent
anti-war position to be fair across the board. But he's one of those kinds of old school Republicans
where he's, he's, he wants to incinerate the poor certainly, but he's one of those guys who's like,
like, oh, why are we spending a lot of money on war? And also definitely very anti-Israel,
holding the FC in class accountable. He's on board with,
he's, he's what Ron Paul used to be like, or, sorry, I was thinking of Rand Paul. Rand Paul
is worse than him in many respects. It's kind of crazy. He's Republican Federman. No, no. I think
John Federman at this point might be worse than he is because John Federman flipped on every
single position so I think Thomas Massey might be um Thomas Massey might be better than uh John
Federman actually dude American fall is so busted it's so fucked up it's so it's it's so strange
He doesn't care about tax dollars being spent on Israeli kids with the existence of tax dollars
I mean now he does care about it being spent on Israel for sure. He's definitely has been consistently
He has definitely been
Consistently anti Israel across the board. He's across the board anti taxes too, but he's definitely also anti Israel
So, yeah, when you look at, when you look at John Federman, I'm almost certain that
John Federman might be worse than, than Thomas Massey at this point.
Is Federman against abortion and gay rights?
I guess, has he been?
I don't know.
I don't think it's been presented to him because if it was, if it had been presented
to him, he probably would be right at this point because, guys, guys,
Not yet, but most likely. And the reason why I say that is because John Federman is anti-immigration now.
Okay? John Federman is anti-immigration. The reason why this is hugely important, as far as like what has changed in his mindset,
is because his website, what is this, securing LGBTQA rights?
I don't think he's still, none of this shit is consistent anymore.
Yeah, this is when he was running for office.
He's not the same guy who was running for office.
I mean, here, let's look at his fucking guaranteeing healthcare,
securing LGBT, fighting inflation, lowering costs,
promoting American energy, sporting workers in the union way of life,
building a main, safe and secure immigration system.
them. I fundamentally believe immigration is what makes America great. America, America.
This issue is personally, my wife Giselle was a dreamer who came to America when she
was seven, fleeing violence in Brazil with her family. I would not have my family if
it weren't for immigration. He's literally anti-immigration now. That's not true. Federman
isn't anti-immigration. He is pro-2008 Obama style immigration. Buddy? Buddy. You're out
of your fucking mind, American immigration attitude has shifted dramatically to the
right across the board. I know you're trying to probably make a joke to say, oh well Obama
was anti-immigrant in 2008, but Barack Obama's anti-immigration came along with DACA protections.
It never, at any point, said that migrants were a national security threat.
And on top of that, his deportations were largely on the border, which we can discuss
the morality or immorality of such actions as well.
I certainly had an issue with Barack Obama's immigration policies.
But right now, we have interior removals.
With Trump won, we moved away from just like a border stoppages and like a direct removal
from the border to interior removals.
This was a key distinction that happened with Trump won.
Okay.
In most circumstances, interior removals only happen for edge cases.
Like, you know, someone who had done a heinous crime and it happened inside of prisons, inside
of the prison systems, right?
Trump swapped that, where Trump very openly and very deliberately started doing interior
removals for non-offenders, for immigrants with minor crimes and whatnot in Trump won.
Something that didn't happen prior to that, to the same degree.
And then under Trump too, we've moved away from that to mass deportations.
We moved away from that to mass deportations.
John Federman is in support of doing that.
You are now lying about interior removals.
My mother was deported under Obama.
No, I said for the record,
Homan loved interior removals under Obama as my mom.
Apologies, chatter.
I said there were interior removals,
but the focus was largely on the border, okay?
Never to the same degree as Trump won.
Trump won increased interior removals.
way we have data like we can look at the actual data
interior removals did happen under brock obama as well and also i'm not in
favor of brock obama's immigration
uh... policies either i don't know why you're uh... you you're making it seem
like i'm
in favor of it i'm not
trump shifted the focus okay at first it trump changes as if obama didn't
trump
shifted the priorities of ice
to focus largely on interior removals i wasn't saying obama's good or obama
didn't do interior removals i'm saying
trump
shifted the focus to
offenders
and and interior removals specifically to change the demographics
uh... in a more aggressive manner
but that was trump one
trump to
has largely focused on interior removals
in a way
that even trump one didn't
where they started talking about mass deportations and the democrats
themselves
also openly started saying
immigrants were uh... immigrants were a national security threat
And once again, there was always, under the Democratic leadership, even though I disagree
with the way they handled this, under Democratic leaderships prior to the genuine shift in
the way that Democrats communicate, and this came, this happened in 2023.
Okay?
Before then, Democrats would always get something in exchange.
At least they would say, oh, it's tit for tat.
will be the deporter-in-chief, but we'll do DACA, right? And that was only because of
the unbelievable amount of pressure that Dreamers were putting on Obama to get DACA
passed.
2023, we just dropped Altit for TAT. No more quid pro quo. Just straight up militant response
to immigrants being seen as a national security threat, right? Like no shit, someone's parents
got deported is going to be sensitive about this issue? Yes, chatters, you need to fucking
dial it back. Okay, there was a misunderstanding and it's fine. I will use better language.
I'll use more precise language in the future chatter and apologies to your mom getting
deported. I didn't mean to, you know, I didn't mean to undermine your experience. Okay. Chatters
really need to stop fucking immediately piling on people. That's crazy.
Anyway, um, and John Fetterman's assessment is absolutely not 2008 Barack Obama. It's
far beyond that. Because John Fetterman's assessment on immigration now is very different
than what he was claiming when he was running for office saying like, oh, my wife is an
undocumented immigrant like what the fuck I wouldn't have a family if it if it weren't for a safe humane
You know amnesty program or something like that like if it wasn't for the dreamers like my wife wouldn't have citizenship
It's you know, totally ridiculous now. He's on the board
With the Trump anti migrant agenda that is a much much more right wing attitude
Look at this
and that we can figure out now.
And I also say now, some of those,
the ages wearing masks, I think primarily that's driven by,
people are going to dox those people.
That's a serious concern too.
Absolutely, they could target their families
and they are organizing these people
to put their names out there.
So don't ever dox people and target their families too.
So that's part of the churn as well now too.
Okay.
Well, the time we have left,
a couple other topics. Yeah, that's, that's come on chatters. That's crazy. That's definitely
different. Anyway, the reason why I was saying that is because John Federman is literally
to the right on virtually every single issue. He is a Republican in every way, shape, reform
and also more pro Israel, clearly way, way more pro Israel than Thomas Massey. So in
a matchup in a one-to-one matchup between Thomas Massey and John Federman.
John Federman currently.
I don't know which one is more technically progressive.
I think Massey might literally be a more progressive overall figure than John Federman.
Adelson and Paul Singer didn't particularly go to Epstein Island.
They probably have enough money to buy their own islands, but they certainly go to dinner
with the people that were at Epstein Island.
That's a real interest.
course, like Jeffrey Epstein was part of Mossad's operations and even our own.
Working Families Party came out with a video. This candidate for Congress is running for
the people politicians have forgotten. Chris Rabb.
Are we ready to elect this man of Congress?
Every transformation, every political revolution in this country began as a dream.
If you believe another world is possible, this is our moment.
And Chris Ram, he's our candidate.
Billy makes some noise for Chris Ram.
This is a moment of abundance. This is radiant love.
Love really is like making people enthusiastic about politics again.
I'm a rally boost across the state. We need that.
What do you call it?
Rep-Rab. That's right.
I hear that again?
Rep-Rab!
You only get a name like that when you are full of.
Who do you think anybody better than we are?
I sat next to him for six hours on a bus.
A friend of mine got snatched out of his house in the middle of the night by ICE.
And we needed somebody to support us.
And the first elected official to show up was Chris Robb.
Come on, stand in your feet and shout it out!
Chris Robb for Congress!
Chris Robb for Congress!
Chris Robb for Congress!
Let all of Philadelphia know!
Chris Robb for Congress!
I am all in for Chris Robb.
When he wins, we can change the current state of politics.
That's why I'm here. It's home.
If you're at this building, I believe you already know what time it is, all right?
On primary day, we can be a model for the rest of the country.
So what?
I still worry.
Everyone, I feel like everyone is way too confident about Chris Rapp right now.
I am still very worried.
I know, what is this?
Street's campaign DNC is attacking you. Oh, yeah, that's, I'm not worried about that.
That's great. They should do that. The reason why I'm worrying, the reason why I'm worrying
is because the Democratic Party is pulling off all the fucking stunts, pulling off all
the goddamn tricks. And the district is primarily, like the district has a lot of older black
voters, machine politics, machine politics turnout voters, and when machine politics
turnout voters are dialed up in the direction of Trief Street, that could be a very, very
difficult barrier to overcome for Chris Rabb.
To maybe lend something to your doubt, there were almost 100% old black women running for
Democratic Party Committee in my area and they all support a street. Yeah. Yeah. You
need to relax and stop worrying. You're too much of a negative Nancy kill in the vibe.
Dude, I'm just letting you know. Okay. The odds are against our boy. You're not trying
to put this winner loss on your shoulder though. You drive so crazy to that shit. No, they
they barely even covered me in this race. I'm not, I'm not worried about that at all. I think
that the Democrats are getting smarter about this shit. Days before Tuesday's primary election,
anonymous text bombarded Philadelphia's voters with attacks on third congressional district
candidate Chris Rapp, accusing him of spreading conspiracy theories and holding extremist views
to unsigned texts, violated federal election rules by failing the clearly state who sent them
Bill Delvee's Democratic City Committee, which is coordinating with Senator Sharif
Schreit's campaign after he won the official endorsement of the party.
The election commission rules state that the campaign communication voters including
Tess must identify who paid for it and state that it was authorized by the candidate or campaign.
Schreit spokesperson Anthony Campese confirmed the origins of the text on Monday but said
the campaign had no control over DCC's communications. The negative text targeting
wrap a state representative who was one of the three front runners in the third congressional
district race. We're familiar. I don't give a fuck about Calci, man. Stop. Calci is irrelevant.
Guys, guys, every fucking institutional Democrat in the state is out to knife Chris Rabb. Okay?
Lock in. It is nowhere near as, as pretty as you think it is. This is not a sweet and easy ride
to victory. He's got tremendous endorsements from every single left group, working families, party,
DSA. All of this stuff matters, okay? I wish Bernie had endorsed him, but honestly, I don't
even think Bernie has any motion in this race at this point. Chris Rabb, this is an incredibly safe
district, it is a very black district, okay? A lot of older black voters that are lifelong
reliable Democratic Party voters, okay? But machine politics works in Philadelphia, okay?
The older residents are not to the left wing of the party? No, that's not even the case,
Okay. The Philly Dem machine is extremely strong. And it's, you're right. Yes. Philly is a black city. The older residents are not to the left wing of the party.
That's not even the problem here. Okay. The older black residents are, are a part of the Democratic party's turnout machine.
So, if they literally boost the dial in favor of one opponent of Chris Rabb over the other,
like one opponent of Chris Rabb over the other, then it's a real problem.
It's not like an ideological predisposition problem.
It's more so machine politics, okay?
That's why whenever people were saying, oh, like, look at how little the rooms that, like,
Look at how tiny the audience is.
Cherie Street is capable of bringing out.
You need to look at the demographics.
Chris Rabb can fill rooms with a lot of young voters,
with a lot of, with a very diverse audience.
A decent number of black voters,
decent number of white voters,
decent number of voters from every different background.
Streets, rooms are all elderly black aunties, okay?
That is literally the base in Philadelphia.
That is the base in Philadelphia,
which is why I've been worried from day one.
And that base organizes, that base moves,
that base goes out and votes, okay?
It's true what you're saying about Philly.
It's an incredibly controlled city
with a very unengaged voter base
changing though, but not as fast as other cities.
Negative text targeting rabbit state representative who's one of the three
firm runners in the third congressional district race were familiar territory and
campaign season that has seen plenty of months, linking one text messages since
deleted social media posts made by rabbi chain, claim the anti-Semitic attack
body beach was a false flag. Another reference to support for leftist political
commentator, Sampai Gurus campaign with rap others depicted an AI generated image
of rabbit knowledging is supposed to like a legislative accomplishments in
harrisburg chris rabbits embrace the controversy and online streams over
serious leadership read one of the unsigned messages while violations the
fec disclosure rules typically by the way this is the democratic party in
fucking in the in the state that's like using me as an attack ad and doing a i
attack ads they're so nasty because rabbi's a good shot at winning this
Okay? Black voters in general tend to be more progressive but are captured by the
dem establishment. The leftists historically failed in building the
outreach infrastructure in real inroads in the most progressive demo in the
country. It's a big fucking problem. Absolutely. It's the it is one of the
number one problems for the left and it is a structural problem though. A lot of
people think this is because you know white liberals or white VSA is too out
of touch. That's not the case, okay? Sure, I'm certain that there are issues given to
the loving family. She already is in a loving family.
But there are structural hurdles, okay? Church groups, community leaders, they are a profoundly
important part of machine politics in every black city in this country, okay? And they
will whip votes in favor of whatever the establishment pick is in every single city.
That's it. It's one of the demographics is most predisposed to the electability arguments.
one of the demigrads is the most loyal to the democratic party by tremendously large
numbers. Breaking through that noise and trying to bring out a candidate requires a lot more
mobilization. Law digging a hole again. Law, here we go. Don't dig a hole. Law, doomer.
Law, law, doomer and not a hope or law. Law digging a hole again. I'm just saying it's
It's a tough race, a much tougher race than the way people think it is.
The white-left brushing off critiques and black-lefts just don't help.
That's not... dude, come on, come on, please be serious for a second.
You think like a 65-year-old auntie cares about the minutia between like DSA, politics, or some like fucking random internet beef?
No, I mean, that's serious. That's a part of the problem for sure, but that's not what we're talking about right now. We're talking about outreach.
The DSA definitely doesn't have enough cashier with actual working people. Oh my fucking God, shut the fuck up. You're so stupid. That's not true.
The DSA is primarily entirely comprised of working-class people. It's just what kind of working-class people are we talking about?
Yes, the DSA doesn't have enough cash a if you think the actual working-class is
Plus 55
People who are about the fucking retire any day now, okay?
Yes, the DSA is not very good at that kind of working class every other type of working class the DSA has tremendous cash a with
Okay
Jesus Christ. These are all tropes. These are all silly, like anti-left arguments. They're
utterly irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. What matters is the turnout machine
that the Democratic Party has. This is one aspect of their fucking turnout machine that
they're utilizing. Anyway, Party Chairman Bob Brady, former representative of U.S. Congress,
did not respond to a request for comment on Monday. Other political observers view the
The text is a sign of uncertainty ahead of the primary election. Philadelphia, highly
competitive race is unusual in one of the bluest districts in the U.S. And there's still
no clear front runner among the top three candidates with the election just hours away.
For a lot of, for a lot of the, the older voters, for a lot of the older voters, I will
say this much. Okay. Like being loyal to Kamala Harris or Joe Biden, this is the one demographic
we're saying like you love Joe Biden actually fucking works.
Here's a graphic from two weeks ago showing every local labor union who's endorsed Senator
Street here in Philly.
Today it's over 30 labor union endorsements for the establishment Black Muslim candidate.
And here's the list of labor union endorsements from the DSA Working Families Party progressive
Democrat Chris Rabb.
The rabble rouser has convinced one.
Yes, I know, I know, Nasty Pelosi endorsed Connie Chen to back his campaign.
And yeah, yes, of course, all the fucking labor unions endorsed the Democratic Party
guy.
I don't even want to watch this shit.
This pisses me off.
Okay, I'm blue, Maggo.
a progressive who is long jogging with the local Democratic Party is running in a street
of moderate state senator and influential party figure. Also running is Alistair Stanford,
physician with deep pocketed backing from pro sign, super pack, outside interest groups
who spent millions on television ads and other campaign materials.
And that's the story. Be nice to them. He's just a heck in small being millennial. I know
I just, I hate looking at stuff like that because it really bums me out that like, uh,
guys are so deluded, so delusional. Yeah, visual breakdown of the census data for this district,
congressional district PA is, breakdown is 47 percent male, 53 percent female, it's 51 percent
black, more than double the rate of Pennsylvania at 10 percent. It is a very black district.
age range is 2029 at 18%, 3039 at 18%. It's a relatively young, the 18 to 64 is at 66% as a
young district, but some of the demographics that are young don't actually turn out. Many
of the young voters don't normally turn out, but especially in this district as well. So when you
we look at the actual, like, voter, the likely voters, the fact that Chris Radd is actually
doing well when youth turnout doesn't even get adequately polled specifically in primaries
like this one in the midterms, especially because remember, when you look at who is
more likely to go out and vote, if we're talking about the primaries in a safe blue district
the midterms, it's mostly just going to be 65 plus year olds, right? So pollsters don't
actually poll adequately for youth turnout, because there is no data to point to for youth
turnout from prior election performances. This is where DSA's door knocking machine works
incredibly well
with upset victories so the fact that rat
is still
doing decently well
and and winning in many of the polls
implies that he has a really high likelihood
of pulling off a tremendous upset
like really good numbers
because most of those polls
have probably not weighed the likelihood of youth turnout
being much, much higher than than any of us could foresee.
So we shall see.
I'm obviously very hopeful about it, but my, my approach is not like, oh,
this is in the bag.
Okay.
I'm hitting the global communism button bro done with your ass. Oh, no
That's not exactly it use sampling is also still very hard to do a lot of these surveys done via mail phone landline still or sell
I know I know I know I know
Youth sampling is already difficult
And and for the record this was a very very hopeful
Statistic as well.
Moundani's campaign knocked on 1 million doors in a city of 8 million is 12.5% of the
area's population.
RAB's campaign knocked on 100,000 doors in a district of 700,000, which is 14.3% of
the area's population.
So the turnout machine is in full swing.
This is one of those keep running past the finish line type situations, not we've got
it just cruising the first place spot type situations.
Yes.
And the reality of the matter is insurgent campaigns like Chris rabs or I'll do lsiads
or any number of different candidates that I'm backing are always going to have an uphill
battle.
Okay.
They're always going to have to climb over so many different hurdles.
They do not have the institutional backing.
They often don't have the adequate endorsements that normally come along with machine politics
with that drive turnout for some of the more reliable voters, right?
Labor unions, local organizations, church leaders and the like.
So it's always going to be difficult.
So you pick losers.
Well, one of those losers' names was Zoran Kwame Mamdani.
Okay.
I don't pick because a candidate is going to be a fucking easy victory.
I work with candidates who I align with politically.
Okay.
The only loser I'm picking on right now is you.
They all the same. Oh, shut the fuck up. Shut your bitch ass up.
If the Democrats obviously made no distinction between certain insurgent
candidates
and machine
uh... democratic party operatives then they obviously wouldn't be doing
dot these these like disgusting little tricks the rat fuck chris rap
god so fucking stupid is all
all the same from where i'm standing to come the most intellectually pure
ideologically pure guy
Well, you made the exact opposite argument for the mayor in L.A. race.
What exact opposite argument do you think I'm making for the L.A. mayor race?
I need you to hear me.
There's only one way to run and it's in the community.
This is a movement.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
Dennis Woe, is it working for anyone in this room?
No!
We will no longer tolerate...
Do you understand, by the way, 50% of the district is black, 50% of that room is not.
Do you understand why I'm worried?
Democratic Party more accountable to corporations than working people.
I was with the Democrats for 12 years on the committee and they gaslit me.
working family party rules.
I can't stand the democratic party machine.
I know Philly loves a good underdog story.
That rod cannot be bought.
He went up against the Philadelphia machine.
He was not supposed to be here.
Philadelphia's city of brotherly love is the city of abolitionists and organizers in this country.
The rep-rab doesn't come from the establishment.
He is a labor organizer. He is an abolitionist.
Rep-rab is Philadelphia.
Kelly deserves Chris-rab because he's the hider.
For the first time in my life, I would actually have a real representative,
somebody who actually comes from the people, who represents the people.
And to the billionaire class, we're coming for you.
You're not safe. Your money will not protect you.
See, we're worried that they're coming for us.
But they've always been coming for us.
As we turn in the tables, we're coming for you.
I'm here for justice.
I'm here for justice.
And if you're an enemy of justice, you're an enemy of mine.
These regular people can win. Did you hear me?
And on May 19th, they're gonna hear from all of us, aren't they?
We are on the precipice of an extraordinary thing.
They are scared because they see what is being filmed.
We have to win this election. The only way we can win it is for all of us to get our heads in the game.
So, Philadelphia, just make this happen.
I did it!
I did it!
Chris Ramford Congress! Glory be to God!
All power to all the people!
Let's win for working folks on Tuesday!
Let's get it done!
I didn't know it was this one.
Because you all keep showing up for me.
You will have an opportunity to send this man to Congress, Christopher Raab.
This is our time, and we will build and rebuild as many times as possible because freedom
is a place we make together.
This is an attempt to dilute my vote.
It's called redistricting, and it's redefining America.
It's unconstitutional, it's unfair,
and they're trying to suppress the black vote.
Is Donald Trump tearing up civil rights
to boost his chances of holding on to power?
This is white supremacy, straight-o white supremacy.
To answer that question, we've come to the deep south, to Memphis, Tennessee.
It's the home of the blues, but it's being forced red by the redrawing of election maps
in midterm election year.
A process that has wiped out the only majority black voting district in this entire state.
I never thought that I would be in a position where I'm fighting for the rights that my
My grandparents and my great-grandparents already fought for it.
Split down the middle, this is Shotwell Street, the latest dividing line in America.
Ninth District, the only Democratic seat here, has been carved up to benefit Republicans.
But it's the only majority black district in Tennessee.
They tried to dress it up.
This is about politics and numbers.
No, it's about politics and racism.
choose representation. Representatives don't choose voters.
Dr. King was shot at the Lorraine Motel.
They've been here before. This community knows all about struggle.
It was here that Martin Luther King gave his last speech and breathed his last breath.
And the shot rang out.
The district nine is holy ground to the civil rights movement.
How do you feel about the fact that it's happening in the very district where your father paid
the ultimate price?
I mean voting is fundamental to what democracy represents.
So as it relates to my father, particularly yes, he was there in Memphis and was gunned
down in Memphis.
it is like a devastating blow.
Hopes of the past now replaced by fears of the present,
fears that this city is losing its soul.
Old times there are not forgotten.
Look away, look away, look away, Dixieland.
Old times here are not forgotten.
And there are a lot of people, especially in the rural areas,
which is the MAGA areas, the Republican areas,
that have never forgotten the Civil War.
They've never gotten over it.
But the future is unclear for his constituents.
Steve Cohen is the congressman who seats being commandeered.
He's evil incarnate.
And he wants these seats, the most evil, degenerate,
thieving president in the history of the United States.
Both parties are scrambling to redraw maps.
But the president is winning this race,
backed by the Supreme Court.
That's the kind of ruling I like.
Some states need to redraw, and some do.
Republicans have added most seats, making it much harder for Democrats to flip the House
of Representatives in November.
President Trump has been very integral in this whole process.
Trump ally Brent Taylor now sees a seat for the taking.
We drew these boundaries for political purposes.
We want to maintain the Republican majority in Congress.
That's not a secret.
The district team means much more than politics in a place like this.
Memphis is a 64% black city.
It's the blackest city in the entire country.
And to combine it with the same district that the Ku Klux Klan was founded in is truly
unconscionable.
But there are two sides to this story, so we headed east to a place of politics and
prayer.
What I ask that you be with us is we seek to do the things that need to be done to make
it a better place to live.
monthly meeting of Republicans in Bolivar. They are right behind their
president's power move and reject claims of racism. I think people assume whites
are voting one way and blacks are voting another way and it's not true. I think
everybody's trying to win and it's gamesmanship now. If you believe you're
right and you want to win and do the right thing you're gonna do everything
in the world to retain power and win. We've got people on both sides of the line,
a lot of friends that are on both sides of that line, but really I would love to
see just everyone come together and serve what's best or do what's best for
Tennessee.
Bolliver is 70 miles from Memphis. They're now in the same voting district but
there's a world of difference between them. When the sun goes down in one, the
lights come up in the other.
From blues to country to rock and roll, the music of Memphis is its own map of American history.
But the city of Elvis, BB King and Otis Redding is getting a political makeover and there's nothing these streets can do about it.
This is Donald Trump's time now, and in his quest to hold onto power, it's not or never.
When she's gone, she's gone to go
David Levin's Sky News in Memphis
This morning sources say the president is one step closer to creating a new $1.7 billion
fund of taxpayer money to pay his allies.
ABC News learning the president is expected to settle a $10 billion lawsuit he brought
against his own government as early as today.
Sources say as part of the deal, the president would drop the suit in exchange for a commission
to pay Trump allies who claim they were mistreated by the Biden administration.
group that could benefit from that, the rioters.
By the way, it's not, it's a slush fund.
So he's lying about that too.
I mean, that doesn't make it any better.
But it is very funny that he's lying about a thing that doesn't even make it better.
It's just a straight up slush fund for Donald Trump to use as he sees fit.
These are people who belong in prison.
It's ridiculous.
This is the United States of America though.
This is what we're doing.
This is what we're dealing with.
Fucking awesome, dude.
January 6th, reparations fund.
a payout for terrorism.
Yeah, this is Trump just dunking on us.
That's what it is.
He's pooping on us.
He stormed the Capitol on January 6th.
The president sued the IRS earlier this year, claiming damages from the leak of his tax
returns in 2019.
He has also sued his own Justice Department for $230 million for investigations he faced
during the Biden administration.
An American president has never sued his own administration,
something the president acknowledged last fall.
It's interesting because I don't know
when it makes a decision, right?
And, you know, that decision would have to go close by desk.
Source to say the president would have control
over who runs the commission and the authority
to remove members without cause.
And that the commission would not be required
to disclose to the American people how it runs
or its decision-making process.
Most Republicans staying silent, but some moderate shocked.
I don't even know how that's allowable to happen.
Democrats calling it an abuse of power.
It's outright corruption.
What we're seeing here is outright corruption.
Only Congress is the power to appropriate money.
And Congress never voted on creating
this $1.7 billion political slush fund
at the Department of Justice.
And Congress would never pass that.
So sources caution that the details of this plan
are not finalized until publicly announced.
And a statement the president's legal team says
the president continues to hold those who wrong America accountable. The Justice Department
declined to comment, George. No question this will enter the courts. Okay, Rachel, thanks very
much. And this is taxpayer money. Taxpayer money. From President Trump, here we have this tweet
from Triink saying President Trump says he is holding off on a scheduled attack of Iran
at the request of golf leaders. Now we have the truth social post here on the monitor here from
President Trump saying this, I have been asked by the Emir of Qatar, the Crown Prince of
Saudi Arabia and the President of the United Arab Emirates to hold off on our planned military
attack of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which was scheduled for tomorrow in that serious
negotiations are now taking place and that, in their opinion, as great leaders and allies,
a deal will be made which will be very acceptable to the United States of America as well as
This is not a boss call.
This is Trump trying to make it seem like he's not bargaining from a position of weakness.
That's all this is.
He's like, oh, I was going to attack again, but I'm not because all these regional allies
demanded I don't.
So I'm just listening to them.
And in fact, this is him talking again.
large-scale assaults of Iran on a moment's notice in the event that an acceptable deal
is not reached.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump.
Again, President Trump putting there on true social, making the announcement that he has
called off a scheduled offensive on Iran and will instead be continuing negotiations at
the request of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
There is no further threat.
Both suspects in this case are deceased.
Um,
is the San Diego situation?
Trump Honey Bowl, I'm concerned. Yes, I know Candice Owens with Hunter Biden is coming out on Thursday.
I
Wanted to show you more
More fucking mega is a cult commentary
that I would take two centuries for the Lord to raise up a great man to bring
that ballroom finally to stand where it needs to stand it's extraordinary we
only had to wait 200 years it's hard to believe that I would take two centuries
for the Lord to raise up a great man to yeah that's what the that's what the Lord
is predisposed with building a fucking ballroom, dude. Incredible.
Anyway, Iranian officials said to Donald Trump's response this morning, as Iran previously stated,
it has no intention to build nuclear weapons. This claim is just an excuse and deception
by Americans at this point. This point is also emphasized in the new text. Trump,
this deal will include importantly no nuclear weapons for Iran. He just keeps dancing around
the nuclear weapons thing as though he's making tremendous gains there when in fact it's not
even it's not even a significant point of contention what is this oh this was the the
Trump statement from that same religious conference by the way the Solomon finished the house of the
Lord and the King's house and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the Lord
and in his own house he prosperously affected and the Lord appeared to Solomon by night and said
to him I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself for a house of sacrifice
if I shut up heaven that there be no rain or if I command the locust to devour the land or if I
I send pestilence among my people, if my people which are called by my name shall humble themselves
and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven
and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
And that's why we're building the ballroom.
Now my eyes shall be opened, and my ears attempt to the prayer that is made in this place.
For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there forever, and
my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.
And as for you, if you will walk before me, as David, your Father, walk and do according
to all that I have commanded you and shall observe my statutes and my judgments, then
will I establish the throne of my kingdom according to, as I have covenanted with David, your
Father, saying there shall not fail you as a man to be ruler in Israel.
But if you turn away and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before
you and shall go and serve other gods and worship them then will I pluck them up from
the roots out of my land which I have given them and this house which I have sanctified
for my name will I cast out of my sight and will make it to be a proverb and a byword
a month. Why is everybody saying fucking AI, dude? Why? I can't tell if you guys are like
joking because you think Trump is like incapable of reading or something because it is.
It's not man. It's not fucking AI. Jesus Christ.
No way. He got John before you. Oh, Matan. Why is this shocking to you? No, I mean, we've been in
contact with his team. He's just, I don't know. He doesn't, he's not gonna do, I mean, he's, he says
gonna do it but I don't think he is. There's something off about it. Yes I know Dave Smith
is collabing with Nicholas Fuentes. I know. Anyway here, alright we'll do the San Diego
mass shooting three killed two suspects dead in San Diego mass shooting police say all of the kids
are safe at about 1143 we received a call of an active shooter at the Islamic Center
within four minutes officers arrived arrived on scene
and observed immediately
three deceased would appear to be deceased victims out in front.
They immediately began to deploy with an active shooter response
into the mosque and adjacent school.
At about the same time,
we began to receive calls from just a couple blocks away.
I don't think the Associated Press release is going to show gruesome, you know, blood
and gore footage.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think that's going to happen in the in the press release
that we had more active gunfire.
Officers were also responding to that call for service.
San Diego police say two Nishine suspects ages 17 and 19 carried out a shooting in a mosque
in San Diego, killing three adults in the process, including a mosque security guard.
Both shooters are now dead and are believed to have shot and killed themselves.
NBC News investigators are examining possible anti-Islamic writings found in the car, where
the police found the deceased suspects from the Islamic Center of San Diego shooting.
Two senior law enforcement officials say.
San Diego Police Department reports we received the first 9-11 call reporting an active shooter
at the Islamic Center of San Diego in the 7,000 block of Ekstrom Avenue. The first officers
arrived in less than four minutes. Five people are deceased, including two male suspects ages
17 and 19. Three victims were killed at the Islamic Center, including a security guard.
At 11.52 AM, we received another 911 phone call in the 7.100 block of Salerno Street reporting
the suspects had fired multiple rounds at a gardener. Officers later located the suspects
in a vehicle at the 3,800 block of Hatten Street. There is no ongoing threat to the public.
This remains an active investigation. One of the suspects in today's shooting in
a San Diego, Moscow firearm from their parents' home and left a suicide note that contained
writings about racial pride. Additionally, hate speech was scrawled on the weapons that
was used for the shooting. Looks like another order of nine angles hit, another
pterogram hit. That's what it looks like to me. At the same time, moments later
at the 3800 block of Hatton, officers were called to that location where they
found a vehicle in the middle of the street with who we believe to be the
shooters in this incident, both deceased. So we have our two suspects that are
deceased. We have three victims at the Islamic Center. All three are adults for a total of
five people that are deceased. Because of the Islamic Center location, we are considering
this a hate crime until it's not. We got some critical information from the San Diego police
chief, specifically the time law. And what he said is just a little over two hours.
God, Jacob is the worst guy to cover this ago. Authorities were called to the
Islamic Center of San Diego due to reports of gunshots. I said they arrived
within about four minutes. Police did and then found these three men victims in
the parking lot of the mosque. He said authorities then went to try to enter
the mosque as they often do, they'll try to identify any potential shooter. But
then police got calls of get more shots fired at another area near the mosque.
They then went to that location. They said they learned that there was a
landscaper there who had been fired upon, but thankfully was not struck by
bullets. But here after mid-jake is the most strange, bizarre, however you
want to describe it part, authorities say that they found two men ages 17 and
19 in a vehicle. They believed to be the suspects. They believe they died from
self inflicted gunshot wounds. That raises a lot of questions about a who
those people are, but obviously what potential motivation there was here. We
have had this question. You will not believe this whether the shooter or
shooters plural may have been associated with this.
tomorrow. It's a Sunday mosque location. Why do I bring that up? Because Iran is a Shia nation.
I mean, what can you fucking say here? Let's just look at the details first. I mean, it's a pretty, seems like a pretty straightforward hate crime and act of terrorism as always.
Most likely order of nine angles.
Paragraph, yeah, I don't care, man.
I don't care that there's a fucking live stream on YouTube so that people on YouTube can watch.
Okay, stop, stop spamming it.
This was complete, you know, targeted violence from the outside.
We did appear to get some indication of an answer to that from the police chief because
he said that they have now brought in the FBI, the San Diego field office.
He said they are treating this as a hate crime until they've determined that it's not.
And of course, what that signals to us is that that would not appear to be someone who
was a member of the Islamic Center there if they're describing this as a, excuse me, a
hate crime.
But again, a lot of questions here.
You know, we've covered you and I so many acts of mass violence in this country, so
many shootings.
Rarely do you ever see two people engaged in the same type of targeted act of violence
in, you know, in a shooting.
here. Authorities say they believe that these are two teams are indeed the suspects. A lot
of questions about who they are, what the motivation was, and obviously why they decided
to take their own lives outside this houses of worship. A lot of we've often say that
there are a lot of questions, more questions than answers. This is truly one of those very
peculiar situations that authorities are trying to get to the bottom of, Jake.
Steve Moore, what was your first reaction to what we heard from police, the San Diego
police department about the shooting at the largest mosque in San Diego County.
I was kind of surprised at the fact that we didn't know that there were five
fatalities until now. It obviously happened in a very short amount of time.
When and they found the shooters fairly quickly. What's interesting to me, Jake,
is that uh yeah it's five because the two are the shooters the two deceased are the shooters
they seemingly walked into a mosque shot up the mosque killed three people in the mosque
one was the security guard and then they left the mosque they got in their car and then they
killed themselves in their car?
Obviously two shooters you rarely get that.
The other thing is that I responded to an active shooter
one time who went to a Jewish community center
and after escaping from the Jewish community center
he shot a postal worker who was non-white and the reason was he was a white supremacist and
that was fair game for him. The fact that they just randomly shot at a gardener makes me wonder
if they had a an agenda that would involve yes most likely
i mean dune suspect profile fits the bill perfectly 17 year old 19 year old
what's actually unique about this shooting is that there are two shooters
rather than one normally this is a lone gunman style situation oftentimes
radicalized by pterogram and these telegram groups that are black pill nihilistic extremists.
Obviously, unbelievably racist too. Like, if you think Nick Flentes is bad, which he is, right?
He's not the maximum. He's not the maximum worst type of politics in this world any longer. There
are still even more racist and more nihilistic, more extreme types of politics out there.
Order of nine angles is one of those groups they oftentimes target vulnerable young men
and even vulnerable young women, and they try to radicalize them, and they try to get
them to do acts of random acts of violence, such as this one.
They glorify previous white supremacist mass shooters.
One of the reasons why I said this looks like an order of nine angles job is specifically
because one of the telltale signs is that they put in a lot of these different mass shootings,
they will carve out or write out the names of other mass shooters that they venerate
on the size of their weapons, which that's what the police said.
So it kind of looks like it. And yes, by the way, these white supremacist mass shooters
aren't always white, and they aren't always male either.
Obviously there was an order of nine angles shooter
that was 17 years old and he was a black teenager.
He was a self-proclaimed incel and neo-Nazi
who hated black people and openly wrote
about how he was ashamed of being a black person.
This was the Antioch High School shooter
that killed two students in Nashville.
There was also a female school shooter as well.
Again, like these are unique profiles.
Sometimes there's even, you know,
trans school shooters as well.
So they hit like every demographic.
But I guess the uniting principle
is that they always operate on telegram,
on these telegram channels.
They get radicalized in these like unbelievably nihilistic,
black-pilled, far-right extremist communities
that goad them into engaging in acts of violence like this.
I don't know, white supremacy, something like that,
that would cause an anger at Muslims
and at the same time people who might appear not to be citizens.
Hmm. Josh Sherard police said the suspected shooters appeared to have died from self inflicted gunshot wounds. They were 17. They were 19. They were. We were told. What does that say to you?
You know, the questions that we're going to have to answer concerning what were to go from here is were they involved in a larger operation? We're going to need to be digging into investigating their
Is Order of Nine Angles connected to Atomwaffen? No. I mean, they're complementary organizations,
but Atomwaffen recruits from the military. Atomwaffen is a white supremacist neo-Nazi movement that
recruits exclusively from the military, from the ranks of the military, active duty, and veterans.
Order of Nine Angles is, Order of Nine Angles is specifically operational in, on, on telegram channels.
They're both neo-Nazi, they're both neo-Nazi organizations. Order of Nine Angles has a, yes, satanic aspect to it.
to it, also some groups within the order of non-angles and 764 will literally, they will,
how do I describe this? They're not just like openly neo-Nazi, they're just pro-violence,
if that makes sense. In certain instances they can even be presenting like Islamic Jihad,
Like, there are certain branches that are pro-Islamic jihad, but also neo-Nazi.
It's white people still, usually.
It's not like Muslims or anything.
But it's an accelerationism group that is, um, they're an accelerationist group that
is, uh, non-aligned, oftentimes leaning into white supremacist neo-Naziism, but non-aligned
on across the board whatever gets the job done the order of the nine angles
oh nine a extreme occult and radical fuckers video the order of the nine
angles oh I read an article about it and is a grooming pedophiles operation to
oh yeah that too yeah they they pluck little kids usually to from like from
roblox
Your homes, your digital assets, social media accounts,
discords that may have been a part of,
wondering if they were part of a larger organization or group,
and wondering if this is just the first in a series of possible targeted attacks.
Like Josh and Steve both pointed out,
we don't see multiple shooters in these attacks very often.
The vast majority of active shooters across the country for the last 25 years have been lone wolves.
Is this part of a larger organization that we need to be concerned with?
We need to rule that out as quick as possible,
especially when we're talking about this age group that is very,
very susceptible to that radicalization as we've seen over the last several years.
Josh Campbell, how unusual is it when there are horrific mass shootings like this one?
How unusual is it for there to be more than one shooter?
It's exceedingly rare.
I mean, we almost never see it.
It's true.
I mean, a big part of the reason why, like not a big part of the reason why, but like
a big, big point of radicalization is the isolation that these people feel.
So you rarely, rarely ever will have two people physically next to one another in some of
these shootings.
I mean, Columbine is obviously one of those examples, but most of the time, most of the
time you're you're I these are isolated figures that that don't have any love
ones in their immediate family that have like a bad home existence there's a
lot of instability in their lives. Talk about the number of acts of violence
that happened in this country involved in firearms. Rarely do you see two people
involved or two people are more trying to go toward the same target. We have seen
incidents where people are firing at each other and they end up striking
people. Again, this is very rare. We've seen it since I'm in Los Angeles.
Another one that was also somewhat, I mean, the, I guess, like the Bondi Beach shooters,
they were also working in tandem. But that was more so like, that didn't hit the, that
didn't have the same profile of this because this is like directional. It's a hate crime,
clearly but I'm surprised you're even you're there I'm surprised they're even
covering this aren't you no I'm not surprised this is a huge fucking story of
course there was a DC sniper father son combo as well Angelus over in the San
Bernardino area several years ago there was a terrorist attack at a government
building that involved multiple fatalities that involved a man and a wife
Two actual shooters, but again, this is very rare. Oh, yeah
It's in there as you know is a lot of questions a lot of work for law enforcement ahead and just to break this down
I mean, we're seeing the images on that beach was a hate crime. I mean, it was an act of terrorism. It was a good
Course it was a hate crime. It was not only just a hate crime, but it was also an act of terrorism
I was gonna say this is like
This fits more of a profile of like a random school shooting, but honestly, it probably doesn't I mean
And we'll have more details when we find out.
But if it's order of nine angles, then it's like acceleration is terror that happened
to focus on this one mosque, whereas the Bondi Beach shooting was very deliberately an act
of terror against the Jewish community.
DC sniper wasn't father son. Am I misremembering?
At the time, whenever police were responding, but now that it's secure,
they believe that there's no longer a threat. They believe the suspects have
now been neutralized and are deceased. They have to work to try to identify
them, but they also have to scour that area to gather any potential evidence
that they can. These two people aren't going to be prosecuted, obviously,
but they will try to work to determine
was there someone else who might have been assisting in this?
We're not saying that that's the case right now,
but that is textbook,
something that authorities want to determine.
Is this a group of people that were inspired
to conduct an act of violence targeting Muslims?
Was this something much different?
Was this targeting specifically the people
who were indeed injured and then killed?
Again, a lot of questions.
And then opening the aperture.
We know the FBI is now on the scene.
they would not only be assisting with the crime scene
forensics, but the authorities have said they're
going to treat this as a hate crime until it's not.
If it turns out that these two men have some other connections
elsewhere around the country, which
we've seen a lot of instances, the FBI
would then be able to work with their resources
around the country.
And then the final thing I'll note is,
sometimes whenever you see an act of targeted violence,
people are proud.
They'll actually leave behind some type of note
or communication, a so-called manifesto indicating
why they did what they did. A lot of times they often don't, which obviously makes it
much more difficult for authorities to try to get to that moment.
Yeah, good thing we got the best guys at the FBI on board. I'm sure they will fucking
figure it out any moment, you know? Any day now, they'll get right on it. The total confidence
in fucking Kashpatel.
There won't be a prosecution of these two individuals, but authorities still want to
identify what was it that inspired them.
crime against Muslims too. I mean that makes it even less likely that it'll get the adequate coverage.
Incredible stuff. This oftentimes that will involve looking at the electronic media of these
individuals if they have it, social media if they have it, all of that is where you see federal
investigators coming in. They work very closely with the very social media and online companies
as well to try to gather information as quickly as they can. Again to try to rule out to make sure
there isn't someone else out there who may have known what was about to happen.
Josh Gerard, what more are you hoping to learn about the motive for this?
Obviously law enforcement saying that they are presuming this is a hate crime
until until that is disproven.
You know that the hate crime tag on this crime really doesn't change the way
it's investigated. It may be changing the way that it's prosecuted down the
road, but it's going to be investigated like any other attack. And that's
That's exactly how it needs to be understanding the motive between these two teams, interviewing
those friends and family, understanding where they came from.
And then as Josh Campbell just pointed out again, making sure that this is a part of
a larger organization.
Is this a group that we need to be concerned with?
Are there further attacks that we need to be concerned with?
We also have to take a look at the way that this was carried out.
We've got two shooters that didn't make it inside the building.
Now we don't know what their plan was, but most likely it was to do as much damage as
possible, which means getting inside. But that little bit of resistance, having that
security guard outside seemingly prevented them from making it inside.
Well, thank you very much. Any questions of these brilliant, these brilliant people?
Yeah, please go ahead. Go ahead. Yes, the white. Yes.
Giving a briefing on it. At the mosque. They're giving a briefing in a terrible
situation. I've been given some early updates, but we're going to be going back and looking
at it very strongly. Yep.
It was a pivotal day in the case against Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing
United healthcare.
You bet your asses was a synagogue. This would have me be plastic as an anti-Semitic
terror attack. I'm sick of the double standard.
Yeah, here let's take a look at Fox News in the way that they covered it by the way.
Yeah, I have prayed at the Islamic Center of San Diego like me, the Muslim Americans who were
targeted today pray for peace for the future of their kids for a better tomorrow. That's what we
all hope and pray for. I'm horrified by the shooting there today, but I'm not shocked or surprised
when politicians directly target Muslim Americans when the media fails to check them. This is the
result. My prayers go out to the families of the victims. All people deserve to worship and gather
and peace, free from fear and hatred Islamophobia bigotry and hate of all kinds have no place
here. Yes, I do know that the alleged founder of the Order of Nine Angles was a Satanist
and Nazi and then later an Islamist jihadist extremist. Yes. But he wasn't. But that's
not like like it had nothing to do with the ideology like he wasn't like a fucking real
Muslim or anything he was like a fucking insane person that's why I said order of nine angles
is a very strange one it goes beyond what you would expect of like a like an ideological
militant Nazi group they still are Nazis like they're still far right extremists
But their highest calling is, their highest calling is just like maximizing violence.
That's part of the reason why the FBI has created this new designation of like extreme nihilistic or
what was it like nihilist violent extremists I think right is an MVE. Yes they're esoteric
Nazis, their esoteric neo-Nazis first and foremost. But their goal is just to activate,
to find their accelerationist. Their goal is to find young people on the internet, the
Roblox, Minecraft, Discord servers, built them into these Telegram groups and goad them
into purchasing weapons or taking their parents' weapons and doing mass shootings.
They primarily operate through Telegram channels that are called Terrorgrams and the cult basically
worships school shooters and white supremacist terrorists. Very commonly you'll see in their
guns like on their weapons. There was one in Indonesia too, it's an international issue.
There was an instance, there was a fake school shooting that turned into a real shooting
of the kid in Indonesia where he like found airsoft weapons and even on the side of those
airsoft weapons, he had painted the names of like Anders Breivik and numerous other people.
Yeah, Elliot Rogers gets mentioned a lot, Anders Breivik gets mentioned a lot.
They venerate famous, infamous mass shooters,
many of which are, yeah, it's happened in Turkey a bunch of times as well. There was a knife attack
I can excite in Turkey, it's an incredibly strange phenomena.
Laura Loomer apparently says, in light of the Islamic Center shooting today, I think
it's time to make sure Muslims are safe. The best way to ensure their safety is for our
DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen to deport every Muslim in America back to the Middle
East where they can live in fully Islamic societies and bless their call to prayer without triggering
Americans into psychosis is a side effect.
How edgy. Oh my God. Ooh, I cut myself on this edge. No, dude, it's you can't you can't
even fucking give her the response. You can't you can't even dignify this with a fucking
response. Last post by the security guard, what is success? Too many people's success
of financial stability, good reputation, beauty. As for me, wallahi tumo wallahi is returning
back to Allah our Creator with the same pure soul He loaned me at birth. Having the Malayka
of Allah ta'ala saying, don't fear and don't grieve but receive the glad tidings of jannah,
which you were promised by the most forgiving and most merciful. May Allah ta'ala grant
us. Husnal Khatima Amin. This was his last post on Facebook. What is this? Developing,
shooting at Islamic Center in San Diego. All Jewish institutions are on lockdown, including
I can't tell if they're just like trying to, I don't know, I mean it's a religious place
of worship that they attacked so maybe that's the reason why they locked down other places
of worship as well. Since I tweeted about there's a beginning non-stop bots and
biggest in my response talking about how there's probably Muslim all Muslim or
Shia versus Sunni, who's coordinating this message in attempt to frame the
narrative? Elon Musk and maybe even Israel. That is what's going on. Let's be real.
3 Muslims were killed in a shooting at the Islamic center of San Diego after two teenagers
shooters entered an open fire.
While anti-Muslim, anti-Arab racism has been systematically fomented in this country for
decades, the last two and a half years have seen every major institution, political, media,
and educational manufacture outrage about anti-Semitism in service of those who support
the slaughter of Arabs and Muslims.
Every institution has pushed anti-Arab, anti-Muslim racism without pause because Muslim Arab
life has no currency here and is created to be expendable. 100% true.
Like 100%.
What did Zoran say? I'm horrified by the deadly attack at the Islamic center of San Diego
and apparent act of anti-Muslim violence. Islamophobia endangers Muslim communities across this country.
We must confront it directly and stand together against the politics of fear and division.
My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and the entire community grieving this
devastating attack.
The NYPD is increasing deployments to Mossara across the city out of abundance of caution.
There are currently no known threats to the NYC houses of worship.
Islamophobia is a made up word by Muslims that erode Western civilization.
This is likely a hate crime hoax spread by Muslims who look, dude, Laura Loomer is literally
such a fucking Nazi.
It's so crazy.
I mean, she just like this is what people say about anti-Semitic hate crimes.
Like the fuck?
a similar situation right here. I'm trying to get some information about it.
According to what I see here, it is a Sunni mosque location. Why do I bring that up?
Because Iran is a Shia nation and some of the stuff that we've seen lately
relative to Iran, like for instance Hezbollah linked attacks that were planned
to go off here in America, that has a Shia footprint. And if you do counter the
15, 16 years counter terrorism, you think in those terms, what do I have here?
Where should I be looking? What connections should I be looking for? Who's identified?
So some of the atmospherics here, but of course the most important here right now control the situation and make sure nobody
fucking insane
Yeah, no, it's a
So it's a fucking sectarian battle for sure
Thank you for the evil ass commentary when you assume things can't get worse
Just go to Fox News for the absolute worst, mathematically the absolute worst
Take you can find
In the United States of America when it Islamophobic hate crime takes place
Do you know how many times been in the hands of a Shia
Against Sunni Muslims. I think it's zero by the way. I'm pretty sure it's fucking zero
In the overwhelming majority of instances of white supremacists, same with fucking anti-Semitic attacks.
It is remarkably rare for Muslims to actually do anti-Semitic hate crimes and vice versa.
It's almost always white supremacists, neo-Nazis, almost always. Okay, there are rare exceptions.
There's almost always
Why supremacist neo-nazis?
CEO Brian Thompson, a New York state judge
Allowing the alleged murder weapon and Manjione's diary to be used as evidence in the case the judge also ruling that
Prosecutors cannot use certain evidence for Manjione's backpack during a search at the Pennsylvania McDonald's where he was actually arrested
Our Peter Harlumbus and legal analyst Brian Buckmeyer join me now for more so Peter
Which evidence is going to be allowed exactly and which isn't?
So, really the two biggest pieces of evidence for prosecutors, the gun itself, which they
alleged the murder weapon and Mangione's writings, which they say amount to a confession, are
allowed in.
What the judge basically did was separate this evidence into two different buckets.
The materials that were taken from Mangione's backpack when he was originally apprehended
at the McDonald's in Pennsylvania, and then the actual items they came across later when
they did an inventory at the police station.
The judge said that those materials that were taken from the backpack at the McDonald's
without a warrant, those can't be used.
So the actual weapons magazine, a cell phone, a passport, those were taken out at the McDonald's.
They can't be used because they didn't use a warrant.
But the items later that they found at the police station when they were doing an inventory,
including those writings and the alleged murder weapon, those they can use.
So what do you make, Brian, of the judge's ruling here?
What's the potential impact on the trial?
So, Kira, the ruling makes a lot of sense to me, and I think it makes a lot of sense
to the defense attorneys from Angioli, and that's probably where you're not hearing
this chorus of saying, we're going to appeal, we're going to appeal.
I think first I've got to figure out where this all lands for them.
New York has very specific laws about searching containers that are closed, and I think that
application is why we're seeing the difference between the New York State case and the federal
case and to do what evidence is going forward.
Now, moving forward, I think Peter's kind of alluded to this to some degree, that it's
not all that different of a case.
The prosecution really wanted, of course, that smoking gun, both figuratively and literally.
And they also want the writings in that red spiral notebook.
And that's going to give not only a murder weapon or alleged murder weapon, but also
what they believe to be the inner workings of a killer to be able to present to the jury.
I think for the defense, not having certain piece of evidence like the wall or to the
passport or the computer chip will help them try to massage the narrative as to what this
is what it's about, who might have committed this crime,
and finding the perfect juror for them.
Because for them, I don't think it's about the facts,
I think it's about who's receiving the facts,
that being the 12 people who ultimately decide
Manjoni's fate.
All right, so what's next, Peter?
At this point, all eyes are on September.
This state murder trial is set to begin on September 8th.
There's a brief hearing scheduled for June
to put some further dates on the schedule.
But that trial, which is expected to take multiple weeks
with more than a dozen witnesses,
at least essential to being in on September 8th.
All right, we'll track it.
Peter, Brian, thank you both.
The California jury unanimously dismissed
Elon Musk's lawsuit against open AI and Sam Altman.
They found Musk waited too long to bring the suit,
which alleged Sam Altman unlawfully enriched himself
in the company that Musk helped create.
Musk co-founded the company and invested in-
This is a real let them fight style situation.
Um, I, I mean either side wins or loses, uh, is, is great.
One side is going to win.
One side is going to lose.
We're all going to win regardless.
I hate them both.
It's literally a win-win no matter what.
It's great.
The 38 million dollars in it's early.
Also Elon Musk isn't technically wrong in advancing this lawsuit, but of
course, uh, he took too long to even put it together apparently.
So it was dismissed years, CBS news, senior business and tech
correspondent, Jolene Kent closely followed this case and joined.
You think Sam Altman is on the same level as Elon?
Yes.
My Elon is obviously the number one evil.
Okay.
But yeah, Sam Altman is pretty fucking close.
I feel like at that level of evil, it doesn't even matter.
Like, you've already maxed out beyond normal human comprehension.
You're like, oh, who's worse?
Is it Peter Thiel?
Yes, Peter Thiel is technically worse than Sam Altman.
Like there are billionaires at that level that are, I mean, at that point, you're basically
doing atrocity Olympics, right? Like, it's a, it's a, you know, what, which genocide
is worse, the indigenous genocide or the genocide of the, the, you know, Rohingya Muslims or
the Palestinian genocide, like it's a, it's a real ball versus Molok situation. It doesn't
Fuckin make any sense. They're all unbelievably bad. They've already maxed out
Elon Musk is definitely the worst guy because he's the worst guy of all time
Obviously Sam Altman has a higher ceiling for evil so we haven't fully seen
We haven't fully seen exactly where he could go you know
Whereas Elon Musk is more developed in his evil
Uh, and and that's why obviously
Elon Musk is number one Peter Thiel number two
Uh, there's a couple other people before we get to like
Sam Altman, but
You know, they're already at the they've already maxed out far beyond like the level of evil that the average person can do
So I genuinely don't know who would be at the top of that.
I mean, I guess Elon is still worse.
Now, Jolene, walk us through how this trial played out and how it ultimately-
Why is Elon worse than Teal? I think it's mostly just the aesthetic difference in that situation
He's like Elon does get his hands directly involved like he's more directly involved as opposed to Peter Thiel
And he has more money so he has more destructive capabilities
But Peter feels output is pretty fucking evil overall, you know Palantir mass surveillance technology
real death dealer
I
Lot also then has fans as well like legions of fucking morons who love him whereas I feel like Peter Thiel is more
So like a behind-the-scenes guy
You know what I mean, yeah, Larry Ellis is pretty bad Mary Maddison obviously is
Huge Zionist too, so then there's that there's the Israel angle there, but most of the billionaires are pro Israel
and do lean into certain initiatives that aid and abet Israel's genocide like Elon Musk has
certainly played a big role in the misinformation that runs around on Twitter at the behest of
Israel right so I don't know but chat GPT across the board is a pretty evil invention so you know
I do think Sam Altman is he has a higher ceiling than perhaps all of these other guys when you think about it
He's in a special category of his own
Like we're in the infancy
stages of Sam Altman's evil
Does that make sense
He's like a
He's like he's like baby evil. I mean he's only been in the market for
For a couple years at this point in the billionaire evil villain Olympics
He's a newcomer. He's relatively green. He hasn't actually been around the block quite a bit and
So it's it's difficult, but he's a very promising young recruit, you know as far as being an agent of Satan so
So it's kind of like you it's kind of like looking at like Elon's start
In Elon's rookie season, many people didn't see the warning signs at all.
So if we are to assume that exponential evil, like exponential growth of evil theory, is
still consistent with Sam Altman as it was with Elon Musk, you're looking at a much,
bigger capacity to go fully evil, like more evil, you know? Because Elon Musk at his
roots was not even considered evil at all. He was seen as like a good guy, whereas like
Sam Altman kind of came out of the gate, swinging with evil, even in his rookie season. He was
like, he was putting up Wemby numbers in his rookie season out of nowhere. So you're like,
okay, if one is like the LeBron of evil, the other one is like the Wemby of evil. So he
He has a much longer bandwidth, a much longer career, tremendous growth potential.
And yes, Elon did have an immaculate public perception before the Thailand rescue divers
stuff.
It was very, very common to just call him a real life Tony Stark.
He also wasn't too much more cringed than the memes at the time either.
So people saw him as a billionaire who gets us.
I'm really just noticing how conspicuously widespread these references were for a short
period of time.
It came up in Star Trek 2.
Did he pay PR team?
No.
Everyone was writing.
I haven't liked Elon Musk even when he was beloved.
Like I always thought he was cringe and wasn't a big fan of him because of my, you know,
somewhat consistent even though, you know, with Tom Steyer, it's a little bit inconsistent,
anti-billionaire position.
I don't trust billionaires in general.
Maybe you can use them as a tool like in the California gubernatorial race, but even then
it's like, you know, a little bit of distance and a little bit of scrutiny is healthy.
Whereas with Elon Musk, whereas with, I would say, Elon Musk, there is, there was a tremendous
amount of positive coverage.
That culminated in today's verdict.
Well, it was a blockbuster trial that certainly took the attention of Silicon Valley.
Oh, this is a good one too. Yes, the league has changed. So the dynamic of the league has changed
dramatically. Great point. Profound egg 13. So if Michael Jordan is playing as plumbers, right,
there are very different rules of engagement at that point. Elon Musk was absolutely constrained
by trying to present himself as like a virtuous figure because like the overall Silicon Valley
environment at the time when his development was was happening was a relatively liberal one.
So we had to be like woke as fuck, right? Whereas Sam Altman is not constrained by the environment.
As a matter of fact, the environment now demands you aggressively pursue some of your most violent
ambitions ruthlessly. So the environment is actually, again, favoring Sam Altman to be
much more evil in the long run than Elon Musk.
Yeah, he still needed to scam environmentalists funding in the past, true.
It's a good point and brought it inside a federal courtroom in Oakland, California.
But what happened today is there was less than two hours of deliberation and then the
jury unanimously delivered a verdict that they recommended to the judge, which she accepted
that the case be tossed out because Elon Musk did not file his lawsuit in time.
a three-year statute of limitation, and they said that they believe that Musk knew about
his allegations before those three years expired.
And as a result, open AI is not liable for any of the claims that Elon Musk was bringing
in court.
But this is a very quick decision, and as a result, all of the different communications,
the interesting things that we learned within the case, were not really discussed or analyzed
are brought to a verdict due to the statute of limitation.
And I want to read to you Elon Musk tweeting today after his own legal team says they do
plan to appeal this, he said the judge and jury never actually ruled on the merits of
the case just on a calendar technicality.
Now in response to that the open AI team said that what Elon Musk called the calendar technicality
is what they believe to be a fundamental part of the case, that if he really was so concerned
about this. Why didn't he file his lawsuit sooner? They alleged it's because he has.
NBC identified the shooters Kayla Vasquez and Kane Clark.
Previously, law enforcement officials said the suspects died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds
in a brief this afternoon. Police said the suspects were 17 and 19. No motive has been
provided. Investigators are examining possible anti-Islamic writings found in the car,
where the police found the deceased suspects to senior law enforcement officials said.
Kane Clark and Caleb Vasquez
Wait, are they
Is Kane Clark? Oh, is that that's not a woman right? It's not like a couple right? There's I don't know

I I don't know. I don't know what what kind of name Kane is
The biblical name Kane enable oh, I thought Kane enable was written with the spelled with a K
Hey, hey, don't get mad at me.
I'm fucking Turkish.
Sour grapes about open AI becoming a success,
a competitor, and keep in mind that open AI
is slated to go public later this year,
along with XAI, Elon Musk's company.
So open AI, that legal team saying
that they were celebrating the case today
and also believing that if this was not a sour competitor,
so to speak, this lawsuit would have been filed
earlier by Musk himself.
All right, Jo-Lynn Kent, thank you so much.

Workers at the Long Island Railroad are on strike and trains are at a standstill
Both sides are deadlocked over wages and health benefits for thousands of workers
So, Jerica Duncan is following this, Jerica, good morning.
Good morning, an event like this has not happened in almost 30 years, Adriana.
And I just spoke to a worker, construction worker who says normally his commute is an

to some of those workers that are on strike here to my right.
They are hopeful that there will be a resolution soon, they said, because of the amount of

At a news conference on Sunday, New York Governor's Office.
All right, let's get back to the live police.
Mom began to piece together bits and pieces of information over an extended period of
time.
The information that she was gathering and conveying to us began to elevate the threat
level that we were receiving with this information.
She believed her son was suicidal and she began to share information that several of
her weapons were missing.
Her vehicle was missing in addition to her son.
She also said that her son was with a companion and that they were dressed in camo and that
is not consistent with what we would typically see from somebody that is suicidal.
began to trigger a larger threat assessment picture.
Our threat management unit began to take the tips and leads that we had and utilize the
technology we have available to us.
Our license plate readers was at the top of that list.
We began to have, we noted that there were hits with the vehicle down in Fashion Valley.
We dispatched officers into the area of the mall as a possible location that was a threat.
We also gathered information that one of the individuals was associated in some form or
fashion with Madison High School.
We alerted the school police department and we dispatched officers into the area of Madison
high school. While we were gathering this information and we were trying to zero in
on where these individuals were at, we received a call.
Wait. At approximately 11.43.
Wait, so all the flock camera and precursory knowledge couldn't stop them? Wait, I thought
this was after the fact he was gathering information. Wait, what?
talking with mom, trying to piece together where they might be, the locations that she
felt that they would be at.
And that was just a few blocks away.
Those officers, once they heard what was happening at the Islamic center, immediately dispatched
themselves to the mosque.
And just to recap what we talked about earlier, when officers arrived on scene, they came across
In some form or fashion, three deceased individuals, victims, one was a security guard at the center.
We'll get some questions in just a minute, sir. Thank you.
Because of what the officers were encountering and because we know that this is a large gathering
facility with kids, with adults, with community members from throughout our county.
Officers immediately began to enter the facility, utilizing our active shooter protocol, looking
for a suspect or two.
At the same, and in about the same time as they were making entry and searching through
the facility, room by room.
got. We received calls of a vehicle a couple blocks away that was shooting at
a landscaper.
The landscaper is going to be okay, but we are still investigating that scene.
It appears he may have been shot in the helmet that deflected and saved his
life, but that is not totally confirmed at this point.
A couple blocks away from there. We also received a call.
We're a community member reported our two suspects in a vehicle and it appeared they
had gunshot wounds and upon our arrival we determined they were deceased.
We're in the process of serving search warrants that will continue tonight and on into the
days ahead.
We're going to continue following any...
There's no photo.
And any information that comes forward,
as we're all focused on figuring out how this happened.
Mom called the authorities when she saw them
leaving camo with guns in her car.
I will end by saying,
it's not a cliche.
If you see something, if you hear something, if you know something, that is an integral
part of preventing things like this from happening, and it's an integral part for us to be able
to take that information, utilize the tools that we have to try to prevent something like
this from happening.
So with that, I'm going to bring up Mark Remley from the FBI to discuss a little bit more
information. Thank you all for coming and thank you chief. My name is Mark Remily.
I am the special agent in charge of the FBI San Diego Field Office. As we was
reported earlier, three adults have lost their lives in today's senseless act of
violence. We also know the two teenage subjects responsible are also deceased.
The FBI is determined to uncover all the facts associated with this incident and learn why
this shooting occurred at the Islamic Center of San Diego.
Here's what we know at this time after our preliminary assessment and working closely
with our law enforcement partners to gather evidence.
Victim specialists deployed to the reunification center at 4125 Hathaway in San Diego.
We're also having additional victim services personnel deployed from our headquarters in
Washington DC to assist with the families that have been impacted. Our bomb
techs have cleared the vehicle associated with the subjects. We are in the
process of interviewing family and friends of the subjects and evidence
tech evidence response teams are gathering all the evidence from the scene
for review. We will process everything as quickly but as meticulously as we can.
We can thank you for your patience as we work through the scene. The FBI
stands with the communities we serve and our hearts weigh heavy for those killed
and everyone who is subjected to this violence today. Shooting incidents like
this not only impact those within the immediate vicinity but everyone in the
community also feels the effects. We will continue to coordinate with our law
enforcement partners and we're closer with them for as long as it takes until
we understand what happened. We will leave no stone unturned. We thank the
public for your continued cooperation. As we continue to work through this active
investigation, we ask that you send photos, videos, or any visual evidence or
information you may have to fbi.gov forward slash Islamic Center of San
Diego shooting. As I mentioned earlier, notice the difference is too small. Everything
helps us gather all the relevant evidence we need to better understand why
this horrific incident occurred. So with that I'm going to turn it over to the mayor for some comments.
Thank you.
I'm kickin' with it as long as I'm on your fucking pocket, brother!
Show some sense!
Worse, I'm fooling around in a fashion dick-tater with shit in his hand!
Today our city was shaken
by a violent act of hate here at the Islamic Center of San Diego.
And my heart is with every person that is impacted by this horrific tragedy.
No one in our city should live in fear because of their identity, their faith, or their place
of learning.
I'm grateful to the San Diego Police Department, our San Diego Fire Rescue Department, and
our partners at the local, state, and federal level, all of whom showed up here to help
with this investigation and this response and help to bring this threat to an end.
This tragedy is particularly hurtful to our Muslim community.
As it comes together, at the start of the dual Hildarj, one of Islam's holiest periods,
leading up to the Hajj and the Eid al-Adha, a time of deep faith, reflection and unity.
State has no home in San Diego. Islamophobia has no home in San Diego. An attack on any
San Diego is an attack on all San Diegans and we will not stand for it in America's
finest city.
Let there be no misunderstanding for anyone who would seek to bring this kind of violence
to this city. You will be met with the full force of our law enforcement
partnerships.
Anyone who seeks to do harm here will understand the response will be swift
and you will be brought to justice. In the meantime, I want to assure San
Diego in particular, our Muslim brothers and sisters, San Diego Police
Department will be guarding all of our local houses of worship with
additional presence to assure your safety during this very, very tragic
time. We'll be guarding other plows as a worship and making sure that we anticipate and try
and prevent the very worst. We didn't meet that mark today, but I have deep gratitude
to the security officer who was here whose actions and heroism undoubtedly saved lives.
And I'm grateful to every law enforcement individual who ran toward this call to help
bring these people to justice. My prayers and my thoughts and our whole hearts community
is with the Islamic Center of San Diego and all Muslim San Diegans. But that will turn
it back to our Chief. Before I open up the questions, we're a little over five hours
outside of this incident. Understand the complexity of and the dynamics of a situation like this
and the emotions that are without a doubt behind everything that's going on.
Much of what else there is to answer is currently being investigated, and I cannot go into some
of those details.
But I will do my best to try to make sure that you guys have the information you need
moving forward.
So with that, I will open up to some questions.
Yes, sir?
Yeah, we're we're actively
San Diego recently passed a law
equating anti-Zionism to anti-Zionism.
That's why the person was yelling.
Yeah, the mayor is pro-Israel,
which should come as a surprise to no one.
is to exactly what those, what the hate speech or the hate words were that were
conveyed. Some of that is going to have to take more time to develop further to
see where that information is coming from. But yes, it's being investigated as a
hate crime at this point. There was definitely hate rhetoric that was
involved. Involved. I'll leave it at that for now. Yes.
We're still preliminary. We're still looking into that. We do believe the security guard
was able to help at least minimize the situation.
to to to the front area of the mosque all right has anyone anything about the
shooters background I don't want to speculate but at this point I think it's
fair to say his his actions were heroic and undoubtedly he saved lives I mean
it's pretty fucking black and white man it's pretty open and shut don't you
think pretty open and shut it seems to a teenager white supremacist dick heads
get radicalized on the internet, decide to take matters in their own hands, go shoot up a fucking
mosque with the mother's weapons and car. Yeah, the only thing we have is Ken Clark was a high
school wrestler. That's all we got at Madison High School. Yeah. Also, if fantastic that fucking
all the flock cameras didn't do dick isn't this supposed to be the whole point of the
flock mass surveillance at all times nope turns out as the fucking creep on people I guess
and to figure out where the undocumented migrants are or people who look like undocumented migrants
shut the fuck up what do you mean shut the fuck up
The mother literally called the cops ahead of time worried that her kid was or had taken her guns
was fucking rocking camo and took the car and then the cops are like oh where do they go
San Diego police mother of one of the suspects reported this morning that several of her weapons
of vehicle were missing her son was suicidal and he was in a companion with a companion both
Dresden Campbell police were actively looking for the software when the
shooting at the Islamic Center happened
without their identity right now
we will we will put that information out here guys you see the flock stuff
didn't work because we just haven't built more data centers we need to build
more data centers so we can do mass surveillance adequately it's just just
one more fucking data center. Okay. Just one more data center, man. Just one more one more
flock camera, one more ballroom, one more data center, and then we'll be able to fucking find out
perfectly.
17 and 18. Yeah, I think it's 18. And then I need to correct that. I think I put out
Not earlier, it was 19, I believe it's 18.
Do you know the relationship between you and me?
No.
Are they both friends or are they both a sort of relationship?
I don't know, at least one, but I don't know about the other one.
Do you think it's true that in the past, they have a center that has both sort of two pieces of bread
and whether the crime has been or in the country, they are under alert?
Just in general, well, I think it's fair to say that all religious facilities across
this country, around the world, in today's world, are well aware of the risks that are
associated.
It's an unfortunate reality of the world we live in today, but I would say absolutely.
feels that that set in security
Well first let me make sure I'm clear that there was no specific threat
Especially America threat to the Islamic Center
Yeah, it's just the cost of doing business going to school going to a place of worship going to the fucking mall
Sorry guys, but Charlie Kirk was so unbelievably honest when he said, you know
Some schools are gonna get a shot, but if that's a price
To protect the the second amendment then it's one I'm willing to pay and he did pay he literally did pay
So it's just how it is, you know
It's just the cost of going to a place of worship in the United States of America
The question is, was there a specific threat to the high school?
There was no specific threat to any facility or any place with what we knew.
There was generalized hate rhetoric.
Oh, you found me.
Mom believed that her son was suicidal, but the additional bits of information led us to
believe that there was a bigger threat picture here that we needed to consider.
One person that's suicidal is not going to take three weapons from a location.
Those little bits of information were significant and important that triggered a much bigger
threat assessment that began to bring additional investigators in to utilize the technology
that we have available to try to get out in front of what we feared would be coming.
But there was no specific threat to the center or any religious facility or any
school in or any mall in any way.
I want to make sure that's clear. We don't we don't get that wrong.
We're still investigating, but yes, we do believe that's all associated with
the larger picture of today's events.
It's not, they're not, they're not separate.
Let me, sir, go ahead.
Yeah, so first of all, this is why we need the community.
This is a partnership.
Public safety is a shared responsibility.
It is important that people share information when they see, share, or know something that
pertains to threats of violence.
That is what allows us to filter through who is going to cause harm and who is not.
So that information is priority one.
You know when you're going to reopen the mosque.
I'll let him on Taha speak to that.
The changes in the clarification, the mother of a young man speaking with a mother of a
younger child.
The younger.
All right, listen folks, we'll sit here all night and go question and answer.
We will provide more information when more information is available and we have more
Uh, of the information confirmed that we're now starting to speculate on.
I want to make sure that you have the details thus far so that.
You understand exactly what we were responding to, what we were dealing with.
And I'll close by saying this as police, I am grateful that we have police
officers and sheriff's deputies and flocking throughout the county.
The hearts go out to the families, obviously the greater Muslim community, we're one city.
And we're one community.
As police chief, I am grateful that we have, that we have, that we have, that we have, that we have.
What the fuck is going on with this goddamn stream?
Anyway, I mean the rest of it is just the outro.
We'll get to CNN commentary in a second.
Hopefully when the live feed is fixed, let's see.
And the live feed is busted.
and two men that a short time later they discovered two more who they believed
to be the shooters both both also dead. Their gunshot wounds apparently
self-inflicted. Again officials have just spoken to reporter Siemens Kinlai as
Athesina she joins us now. So we heard authorities say that they received a
call from the mother of one of the shooters this morning. What more have
you learned about exactly what happened?
that she had discovered some hate speech, some generalized hate speech, not targeting any
particular institution, but it was alarming enough that she found it to be suicidal and
threatening enough that she reached out to law enforcement.
What you're hearing behind me is this press conference is still going on with other members
of the community, but I'm going to keep explaining what authorities say they have been able to
that young person, that younger suspect, the 17-year-old,
then connected with someone, either a friend who was 18 or 19,
and they came to this mosque.
The mosque is just, this is a press conference right over here,
the mosque is just over my right shoulder,
and that is where law enforcement found three different adult men
who had been shot.
The two suspects were making their way through this middle-class community
the police. The police said
that the police were not
able to get into his middle
class community. They came
across a landscaper engaged
with the landscaper who he was
unarmed. They appeared of him
in some capacity, but he's
doing OK. And then authorities
did catch up with them and the
two suspects. 17 18 ish the
police chief said had died by
self inflicted gunshot women.
So that's the very latest that
we've been able to piece
They say at this point this is what they know,
that they're going to continue to investigate this
and try to share more as they learn,
because this happened just mere hours ago, Anderson.
And, King, I knew you were able to speak with a friend
of the security guard who was killed.
What did he have to say?
It's really important to remember that this isn't just a mosque.
This is a community center, and this is also where children,
young children of third grade and younger,
and the third grade and younger were going to school.
And there was a security guard standing out front.
And that security guard is a friend of a man
who you're gonna hear from.
And I want you to listen to what he says.
I truly know my heart from knowing that man
that he was sacrificing his life
and took that bullet knowing that
I'd rather take it than the kids.
And that is what makes me emotional.
And the important thing that he wanted to add, that young, that man, he's, his name is
Sam.
He is a father of two, three, two who go to school connected with the mosque and these,
the school connected with the mosque, said that he gets to put his kids to bed tonight.
He gets to tuck them in.
The security guard who also has children, that he can't do that.
And so that's something he doesn't want to be left unsaid, that a man took a bullet to
protect so many children here in this community.
Anderson.
I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Joining us now, too, of our law enforcement analyst, John Miller and Jonathan Wack, Roger
Miller.
You've been speaking with law enforcement sources.
What have they told you about the two gunmen?
What may have motivated them?
Well, these are kids, 17, 18 years old.
One of them, as we're learning now, left what is in effect a suicide note, but we are told
by law enforcement sources that it also had references to racial pride.
It seems that based on the targeting and the fact that there was hate speech written on
one of the weapons recovered, where the two young men took their own lives after escaping
the scene of the shooting, that this fits into a pattern that we know fairly well.
hate speech on the weapon, leaving the notes, the target selection of a mosque shooting
at a landscaper at random during the getaway. Very similar to the New Zealand attack from
2019 by Brenton Carrant, who in that case killed 51 people and shot 40 more, where he
He wrote hate speech all over the weapons.
In the Buffalo case in 2022, Peyton Gendron, he wrote hate speech all over the weapons,
even mentioning Brenton Tarrant.
I wouldn't be surprised if you saw one or both of those names turn up in the writings.
In this case, this is developing into...
Tons of replyers think it's implausible that mass shooters would leave writings dictating
their motives and ideology behind.
A culture of white nationalism, white supremacy, and what they call the great replacement
theory where people act out violently. Oh, that's cool. We're back to that. We're back to this being
a PSYOP now, you know, because the victims in this circumstance are not one that they can make
some kind of anti-left panic off of, you know.
I mean this is the most common form of like political violence that takes place on US soil
so I don't know what to fucking say it's just just white supremacist radicalization.
There was the Eileen attack obviously there was a Columbine a long time ago that was school
related there was the attack in New York the bomb throwing involving two people.
It's very anomalous right I think that there are a lot of factors that are present in this
matter that are anomalous. It's the fact that there were two attackers. Typically we see,
we oftentimes refer to as a lone gunman or a lone actor, but they're oftentimes influenced by other
people. Here we have two people who were engaged in the attack, but they're ages, 17 and 19 years
old. It's not normal for them to wake up and decide to go out and kill somebody, right? So
So something preceded this, and this is right what the commissioner was getting to, is that
there was some sort of radicalization that they went through that they felt it was right
for them to go and launch this attack against this Islamic center, this symbol of that community
in San Diego.
That again needs to be looked at with a microscope to really understand, did that radicalization
come online, were they radicalizing each other through this Christian nationalism, this white
nationalism movement that John was just talking about, or these other factors.
So what we do know as the denominator, hate is the motivator here.
It was the motivation for their attack, but we need to get better and smarter at how this
radicalization happened so quickly and happened really in silence.
didn't you know basically follow the pattern of violence that we've seen this this pathway
to violence where it's grievance ideation planning this whole attack cycle goes through
before they launch these are people that literally got up took some guns from home dressed in
camouflage and went out and launched this attack they were motivated by somebody or
a group we have to find out it's insane how easy it is to just do relentless violence
on US soil, readily available guns. I mean, what do you fucking say to practice?
Yeah, some guns. You just go and you have arsenal of weapons at home and just take them.
It's fucking nuts.
This note and alerted authorities and when the shooting actually took place.
Well, Chief Scott Wall from San Diego PD gave us a little bit of a timeline, which is, you know,
they got that call from the mom in the late morning hours and immediately they did a threat
assessment. This is exactly what you are supposed to do with this. It's a missing person, but
it's also a missing person who's talking about suicide and maybe other things who is left
with weapons. From there, he took the mom's car. They took that license plate. It's a
white vehicle. They put it into the LPR system, license plate readers. They started to get
hits at different locations and have units beyond the lookout for it. Interestingly,
I think the chief told us that they got a license plate reader hit near the mosque, which
they sent out to units right about the same time they got the phone call of shots fired.
So they were leaning very forward on trying to figure out how do we get to this kid, not
knowing that there was more than one kid, apparently, or what exactly their plan was.
It's also Jonathan, you know, we've now become used to having security guards at houses of
of worship, it clearly seems in this case,
this security officer may have prevented much worse than that.
Well, I'll put a finer point.
He was a hero.
He prevented the loss of life, especially of those children.
Here's why.
These were motivated attackers.
They had a plan in place.
They had to exit plan.
They were going in to kill and to harm.
As they were going in, this security guard
basically put himself between the threat in those children.
We have eyewitnesses that say that he literally did that.
And what he did is he caused a tactical shift.
He caused the attacker to turn and address him
as opposed to engage in killing of these children
that were outside.
In that instance, he stopped the chain of attack
by putting himself in harm's way.
That was only for seconds, but those were critical seconds
because we heard from an eyewitness,
as he was being shot, teachers and others
were bringing these children and rushing them inside.
From a tactical standpoint, we call that getting off the X.
Those kids got out of the field of danger
because this security guard did his job,
stood up and identified and addressed the threat.
Jonathan Lackley, amazing.
Thank you, John Miller as well.
Coming up next, a shocking settlement.
The president's $10 billion lawsuit
against the government that he runs.
Why aren't people calling this a fake shooting?
Brother, what are you talking about?
They are already calling this a fake shooting.
Laura Loomer is literally saying
it was good that it happened and more of it will happen unless you self-deport to Muslims.
There's hella people saying like, oh, it's a Psyop.
The fuck? Wake up, dude.
How is that shocking?
I mean, this is also somewhat of a consistent thing that happens in the aftermath of every mass shooting in the country
where it happens so frequently.
I think people are just basically bored of the fact that it happens so much. It's so goddamn calm blaze
Yeah, the moss was supposedly shot up today
Just remember the people who attended this mosque want us all to be killed. We will be told that they're such amazing people
I'm not advocating for vows that condemn vows. I'm showing you how evil this mosque isn't always has been it should be raided by the ice and FBI
I
Laura Loomer wants this to be Israel so bad. She's like her dream is to complete the Israelification of America
Another thing to slop to pronounce is saying is the mosque house 9-11 attackers to oh wow great
How is this not stochastic terrorism it is I just needed uh I just need people to really start calling lower
Loomers, stochastic terrorists, it doesn't matter.
So the logic here is that 9-11 represented all Muslim sentiment.
This sentiment persists among the world's 1.2 billion Muslims and they're all fair game to kill as a result.
This person is sick and has 16,000 followers.
America first nationalist.
They're hitting that this is because the Sunnis in Iran are any new commentator by attorney
and retardant NYPDM Mossad commentary, hitting the line that this is a Sunnis-Shia conflict.
Yeah, the dude's name is fucking Caleb Vasquez and and Kane something. Okay, he's not fucking Sunni Shia conflict
That's not a real thing that happens on US soil regardless
The Israel first look the Israel first Laura has the leaves post-amateurs of the Islamic Center of San Diego or Muslims when it's clear they weren't
It's Muslim on Muslim jihad
Dude, they don't even hide it, like this is just how it is. If it's a white person, they'll say, oh, transgender, right?
If the victims are Muslim, then it's, I guess, Muslim on Muslim violence.
It's never the actual perpetrators who always happen to be overwhelmingly happen to be white guys, white supremacists.
Yeah, Tree of Life, Pittsburgh, Charlottesville, Topps Market, Buffalo, Islamic Center, San
Diego, white supremacy will not stop in this country until it is stopped.
Downside of right wing getting dumber is they don't have to try anymore.
I know.
It's, it's getting, I mean, it's, it's been ridiculous.
was getting even more ridiculous. Anyway, I hear we'll get back to the Long Island Railroad.
Representative Fine. I think that Hasan Mahan does not speak proper English. They're too busy
teaching muslim terror at his turkish madrasa?
editor in shiva dc reporter
It's so yeah, they're right. I'm illiterate then you have a Nazi in the replies too
It's great what an incredible what an incredible time to be alive and it will cost taxpayers
There's $1.8 billion to settle.
Okay, this is the Trump...
This is the Trump IRS thing.
Okay.
When her Kathy Hockel flanked by MTA leadership urged both sides to make a deal.
The bottom line is, no one wins in a strike.
Everyone is hurt.
The hundreds of thousands of people who rely on the railroad, and the thousands of unionized
workers who are losing out on wages.
The Long Island rule.
That's what I depend on five
dozen week. Officials asking
commuters to work from home if
they can. I have a feeling it's
going to be mayhem. I think
everyone's going to be really
late to work and it's going to
be a lot of traffic.
The New York State
Comptroller saying that this
loss could actually amount to
$61 million in loss and
economic activity in total. Nora.
All right, Drika Duncan with
that big story. Thank you so
much. As we've been talking
about here all morning long
of the li double r strike and there is no deal on the table just yeah we're joined now by john
samuelson great framing by kathy hocal acting as though the li double r workers are actually on
the opposing side of the commuters when in fact it's actually those on the state side in the city
side that are not abiding by or not offering them a contract for what fucking three years at this
point are almost four years. Totally ridiculous. Okay. It's not the workers versus the commuters,
it's workers versus the state. The international president for the transit workers union. Now,
thanks for taking a couple of minutes here just to help us kind of, I guess, clear through the
air here. Your union not part of this strike, but you have negotiated with the MTA before.
How do you expect this morning's negotiations to go now that a weekday commute is being impacted
as we've been detailing. And from what we've heard after last night into the early morning,
some significant progress has been made for the first time.
Yeah, so that that does a theater be progress.
So much misinformation spread about what li double our workers make with their job duties,
etc. So fucking frustrating to do so coming from people on the left. No, those aren't leftists.
Okay, those are nasty fucking liberal perverts who hate labor. Okay.
Okay. It's, it's a common thing that happens all the fucking time amongst liberals who
will, uh, anytime there's a work stoppage, they'll go, you already have a lot of money.
Look how much more money that you look, how much more money you make in comparison, in
comparison to, uh, all these other workers that are making less money. It's like, yeah,
they should unionize and they should also get a better pay as well. What the fuck is
this, what the fuck's this conversation? There has never been in the history of contract negotiations,
I need you to understand something. There has never been an instance where a labor union
has demanded such high pay that it is virtually impossible for that business to stay afloat.
Okay? Like, that's a lie. It's a classic lie. Well, they'll be like, oh, well, you just,
You're gonna cause the business to be bankrupt. It's gonna go underwater. No dumbass. The workers also fucking understand
Fundamentally that if the business is forced to downsize or go underwater, they're just not gonna have jobs anymore
Okay, that's bullshit another incredibly bullshit fucking line is always pitting the the striking workers against the rest of the workforce
You like see these are these are they're fucking these are they're incredibly high salaries
How dare they ask for more how how fucking oh how greedy how greedy it's like no they're not fucking greedy man
They want more of their own productive output. It's perfectly valid
Okay, and I hate when dumb fucks that are not a part of that union and sometimes other union workers will even engage in this
Don't fuck ass bullshit. Well, they are making a lot of money actually never
Okay, get that shit out of your mind
Okay, get that out of your mind. The media will always be obviously antagonistic towards labor
unions. That's just how it is. Their job is to side with capital. In this circumstance,
obviously, a public sector labor union. So, you know, they're going up against the state and also
the expensive consultants that the state's hires for the record, you know, because the state would
much rather higher expensive private contractors and consultants and lawyers to make sure that
they actually get away with not paying a fair contract, not signing off on a fair contract
so that the labor unions don't actually learn the lesson that they can actually fight for
fair contracts.
Um
Anyway pro union video on liirr from chuck park, okay, malary bill ablair. I got it. I got it
He has a pro labor union
Uh, the video here. There you go. Fuck it. I think chuck park's entire team is in my chat
I think his entire operation is comprised of hasa nabi heads because you guys literally
constantly
Someone sneezed in New York and Chuck Park was there, okay?
Someone sneezed in New York and Chuck Park was there. You have to watch this video
There's 11 people that watched it. You have to be the 12th person
Morning in New York City and 300,000 commuters are screwed
Long Island Railroad workers are on strike and to be honest
I've seen a lot of people blaming them for the shutdown, which is bullshit. Yeah, I know they make a hundred thirty six thousand dollars a year
So what that's right in line with the New York City nurse or firefighter. So what do they want?
to not fall behind, 3.5% raises over four years to keep up with inflation.
It takes Elon Musk eight seconds to make $136,000.
The people at the top, they're making millions in their sleep.
But every time workers ask for a break, somehow we're the ender.
We have enough. It's just a question of who our leaders think deserves it.
So don't blame the workers. Don't even blame the MTA.
Blame the establishment politicians who are fighting harder for their corporate donors
owners, then the technicians, engineers and conductors of the Long Island Railway.
It's Monday.
Yeah.
Um, Alex Bronzini vendor, the median LI double R worker earns 60th percentile income in Nassau
County and roughly 70th in Suffolk.
Immediately before the strike, they rejected a pay raise offer far outpacing inflation
to 2022.
They want the LI double R riders to subsidize their already high wages.
Oh, what is this?
This is a Yale graduate, right? Pretty sure. Or still in Yale. Still at Yale.
Yeah. The greedy worker, man. The greedy worker. Many such cases.
He transferred from Columbia to Harvard. Okay, not Yale, Harvard.
The MTA offered 9.5 over the first three years cumulative inflation since 2022 is over 50%.
The MTA also demanded a 500% health care premium hike on new hires, comparing 24 seven federally
regulated rail work to a blended county median is a statistical illiteracy.
Yeah, how greedy of these guys, man. Yes. So right now, obviously, we have the
very unfortunate situation of a strike. The strike was caused by the Governor of New York
State, Kathy Huckle and Janet Oliba. Absolutely for sure. In the waning hours of the expiration
of the contract. The MTA began regressively bargaining. There's no employer that does that,
unless they're seeking a strike. When you begin regressively bargaining.
I saw a dumbass tweet talk about how he asked one of the chargers voted for MAGA and he said,
fuck him or whatever. Oh my God, labor unions are not about fucking conservative politics
or liberal politics, labor unions are just about a fucking fair contract. Okay? It doesn't matter.
There's gonna be fucking rank-of-filers who are right-wing. There's gonna be rank-of-filers who
are liberal. It's just, it's about labor, okay? It's, it's just about a fair contract. It's about
getting better benefits. It's for workers rights. This kind of insanely stupid framing.
Oh well they're right wing. Oh the Teamsters are famously notoriously right wing. Like who
gives a fuck man? Who cares? Or are you stupid? Man that was everyone saying UPS teams are
getting too much in our last contract as well. I remember despite the fact that I was leading
the charge of my building for a no vote because we had no protections against AI and automation
And now look, they're not crying about our wages anymore because they're celebrating UPS laying off 70,000 workers.
Like, this kind of shit annoys me to no end. Are the Republicans worse than the Democrats
when it comes to labor unions? Of course they are, okay? They are. They are. It's true. But a lot of
Democrats are incredibly annoying on this issue because they act as though the average
American citizen, the average rank and filer in a fucking labor union is not matching the
performance of the Democratic Party with its weakest, most anti-labor union candidates.
They are because from their perspective, there's marginal differences between one party over
the other. The other one is obviously constantly looking for new ways to deregulate, constantly
looking for new ways to fuck over the work in class. But the Democratic Party is still,
unfortunately, measured by its weakest, most anti-labor candidates. Because as a national party,
those anti-labor union electeds are the ones who fuck up things like card check, okay? So you can
say you want to do car check all day every day you can talk about how much
you want to improve
unionization rates in the country
but as long as you don't whip the fucking votes to get that legislation done
it doesn't fucking matter
doesn't fucking matter you're saying your pro this or that
okay
that's a on believable problem
that weirdly enough
the democratic party
never recognizes okay the rotating bill in system
that the democratic party has
creates two ineffective fucking parties. One is obviously more effective because they are openly
working at the best of capital. The other one is also working at the best of capital, but
will present themselves as though they are on the side of labor unions. But when push comes to
shove, the National Democratic Party also falls short of what's necessary as far as doing right
by labor unions. And then the rank and filers, just like every other goddamn sector, every other
goddamn non unionized labor force makes a decision on culture war issues. Okay, that's
it. There's a reason why teamsters are for the by and large super fucking based. Okay,
the rank and filers are, you want to know why they just are fine with Sean O'Brien regardless
of Sean O'Brien's chud politics. It's not because teamsters rank and filers are fucking
pro-republican party across the board. They're fine with Sean O'Brien, because Sean O'Brien
got him a decent fucking contract. Okay? That's it. That's it. That's literally it, because
he fights for their contracts. That's all these guys understandably care about, okay?
So, I'm going to start with the fact that labor unions no longer have any sort of political
education and don't have a lot of institutional muscle.
And for the most part, unfortunately, many unions are just a democratic party electoral
machine, a part of the turn out machine for the Democrats, and they're just comfortable
with like the marginal gains that they can make in their individual sectors.
And you arrive at less than 10% unionization in this fucking country, worse than a country
like Chile, which we wrote the Constitutional directly.
We intervened in their affairs and installed a neoliberal fascist by the name of Pinochet.
has a higher union participation rate in their labor force at 15%. Think about that.
The Chicago boys done destroyed that fucking country and turned it into a neoliberal testing
ground and they still have a higher union participation rate than we do. That's how
fucked up America is. That's how much we fuck ourselves over.
I think this is why the LIR thing makes me so mad.
Dems are heading for a landslide victory because inflation across a living crisis.
Why turn your fire on workers whose wages are being so eroded on the exact moment when
they're turning us Trump fell policies?
The brand-new New York Times poll hoist towards a shellack of the GOP driven by Trump's future
polls and unpopular with Iran and anger about his economic policy.
And in reality, the crosstab is even worse than the headline suggests.
Trump's overall, overall approvals are putured 38%.
But what it is, is with the voters that won the 2024 election, in Latino voters, he had
a 51 point drop.
Voters aged 18 to 29.
He has a minus 57% approval rating, a net disapproval of 57% with independence and net
43%, a net negative 43% disapproval rating.
An important segment of Trump's base hates the war in Iran.
Okay?
Minus 23% of GOP voters disapprove of the war and 22% think going to war with Iran was
a wrong decision.
is worse among Trump 2024 voters, 28% of whom disapprove of the war. Democrats have a massive
14% advantage on the generic ballot among those who most likely, among those most likely to vote
and Latinos prefer Democrats by 30 points, a real warning sign for all those German districts in
Texas and Florida. Okay. And Democrats will look at this and go, you know what?
This means we got to stay the course.
No changes here.
My union president got picked up drunk in a government vehicle on the first day of negotiations
and checked himself in the rehab and disappeared for a month.
Don't think I'm voting for him again.
Okay, well your oversleeper is anonymous.
Okay, what's better oversleeping or you know, having a little bit of fun every now and then
and then realize that having fun was illegal, okay?
You should reward your union leader for having a little bit of fun.
Your union rep is having fun, okay?
Seems to me like he's working hard.
Yeah, legalize comedy, legalize fun.
Why can't a guy have a little drinkie sometimes? I agree.
Anyway.
New York subway hearing erupts as long as your snaps shut up amid grilling over guards
letting fair jumpers walk.
Jan O. Lieber and Senator Muriel Mitteric clashed over 35 million hours security contract
as fare evasion and fares continue to rise.
What chatters boss people in the comments saying she lost their vote. Yeah, this I'm the chatters boss who is me
Just having a little drinkie
Who amongst those hasn't drank on the job?
In what way are MAGA voting Long Island Railroad Stikers turning away from Trump?
They love Trump.
His crudeness and racism is precisely why they voted for him.
Okay, none of this matters.
I don't give a fuck if they voted for Trump.
I don't give a fuck if they liked Trump, okay?
I don't give a fuck if they want to vote for Trump again.
Do they deserve a better contract?
Yes, that's all that matters to me.
And the same goes for universal healthcare.
A lot of liberals hate Republicans.
I do too, okay?
I'm with you on that one liberals.
All right, I despise reactionary politics.
I think it's toxic, I think it's gross,
I think it's violent, okay?
And I also think it's a distraction, okay?
Reactionary politics is a distraction
away from class politics.
However, I still want everyone to have healthcare, okay?
That's it.
Is that fuck as simple?
I want all the motherfuckers that come in here
to be like, you've killed Kaita, where is, where is Kara?
Where is Kara?
You killed Kara.
I want every single one of those motherfuckers
to have healthcare, okay?
I want all the people who call me a fucking terrorist
to also have healthcare.
I want them to have free college education, okay?
That's it. I don't give a shit if they're objectively evil. Okay. I don't care
Huh, oh my god, they voted for the bad guy so they deserve to not have their wages increased
Okay, well, there's plenty of people who didn't vote for the bad guy in those unions
It's the same principle behind like wanting to punish the south
Yeah, you know what else lives in the South?
Black people.
Like, what are we talking about?
I mean, in the end game, you're doing it to make everything go into chaos.
So let me ask you this.
What are your thoughts then on the fact that they, from what everyone's saying, including
General Lieber, who we talked with earlier, the three years of the contract was all set.
Everybody seemed to agree on that.
It's that fourth year that they wanted included on this that none of the other unions, I assume
your union as well have?
Yeah, so, Jan O'Libert is actually being a little bit on a disingenuous side.
It's not, you know, not a shock.
But he's busy telling everybody that the Long Island Railroad workers are demanding wage
increases that the other unions do not want, or that the wage increases that the Long Island
Railroad workers are demanding are more than what the other unions already have.
And none of that is true.
None of that is true.
other unions at the MTA are seeking a really positive outcome for this strike.
In no way are they seeking more money than what the other unions are seeking.
This is a fiction that Janelle and Governor Hockel are spreading.
Got any idea why you think they would be doing that?
Yeah, they're trying to disparage the unions out of striking against the MTA and against
Governor Hockel.
But what's the upside with that though?
Since you've got a quarter of a million commuters, which are your constituents, their constituents
So if you're saying this is Governor Hockel saying, I mean, I'm trying to find what the
upside of that would be.
Yes, this is a fucking contract that has to be ratified democratically by the labor
union or a contract that can be unilaterally decided on by the fucking bosses.
In every single contract negotiation that leads to a work stoppage, it is innocently
easy for the bosses to concede to the just demands that the labor union makes.
It's unbelievably simple.
All you got to do is crunch some fucking numbers and go, sure, I'm signing off on the dotted
line.
That's it.
On the other side, on the labor union side, however, okay, the workers have to ratify
that contract.
They have to look at the contract, okay?
They have to see if it's the best possible and they got, they have to make additional
demands potentially.
a democratic process on the other side of it. And yet, and yet on the media side, this
conversation always is, oh, well, don't you, this, the conversation is always pitting the
working class, the labor union against the rest of the working class, the commuters. Okay.
Oh, don't you care about your patients? If this is a nurse that's striking, like a nursing
union that's striking, right? If his teacher is like, Oh, don't you care about your students?
Of course they do.
They want to have a better work environment in general, okay?
They want to make sure that they have the safest workplace possible.
For nurses' unions, one of the major demands universally is always that the hospitals are
not hiring enough fucking nurses.
That reduces the quality of care that nurses are capable of delivering, for example, okay?
It's not greed.
is on the boss side, not on the fucking labor union side. And yet, from the perspective
of the media, they always present the fucking working class as though they're greedy. Oh,
you want to, oh, you want to hold on to some more dollar bills, you fucking piece of shit.
Get back to work. It's so stupid.
The upside is that the upside to them is that they're trying to disparage the character
of the strike in workers are trying to make them out to be greedy
you know pop public sector workers
and the truth of the matter is that they have a lot of conscience
usually embarrassed
okay
usually embarrassed to say those words well look at these fucking greedy
public sector workers
what an insane thing to say
back in three years
the wage increases that they're seeking
of three put around three point six percent on average over the life of the
deal
inflation today
three point eight percent
So this narrative that these are greedy commuter rail work is just looking for more than everybody
else is completely false.
Let me ask you this based on what you're hearing.
Then do you think you hate the fact that it had to come to a weekday commute and that
you're in day three right now, but do you think this is something that can be resolved
relatively quickly?
Or do you think everybody's going to kind of stick their foot in the ground here and
hold, stand pat?
Yeah, I do.
I think it's resolvable.
It really, it should never happen. And it's certainly resolvable. The MPA needs to move
into a rational, um, meat inflation, at least meat inflation, um, position. They're not
there. They keep offering gimmicks such as lump sums, which don't increase hourly wages.
They don't compound. If they want to settle, they can stop offering gimmicks and start
offering solid way. I'm a private sec. I'm a public sector worker in Canada and our nominally
Social Democrat government forces the strike for a full month last year. Yeah
I mean none of this is supposed to happen, you know, if you give a fair contract then nobody fucking strikes is that simple
Again two sides to every contract negotiation two sides and the media only fucking focuses
Puts the blame puts the evil on the labor side every single fucking time
I've covered this shit for years. Okay, they always demonize the workforce
They always demonize the workers the greedy employees that are money-grubbing their money hungry. They want too much
Ridiculous, like what are you fucking talking? You're a fucking journalist. You're a reporter. You're literally a worker too dumbass
Half of those motherfuckers are also in unions themselves too
increases. Yeah, I guess you but you understand though in the position that you're in these are
you know you hate that for you hate for people to have to suffer but these are the negotiating
tactics whether it's the federal government local government and this is these are the
tactics we see more and more these days. So what we have is a strength the contract has
been unsettled for three years. So that's the other thing like they've been looking they've
I've been trying to, it's been going on for three years.
Like what's the expectation here?
Did they just keep going for a fourth?
One of the other funny elements of this is they'll always be like, oh, why now?
Like, I remember when the Longshoreman came out to strike.
They were like, what are you doing?
It's right before holiday season.
It's like, yeah, bitch.
That's when they have maximum leverage.
Okay.
What do you, what do you mean?
Of course they're gonna fucking do it at a time when it's costly to the business or do it at a time when it's costly to the fucking state
That's the whole point. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't they should have done it
They should have done it when everyone could just avoid them
It's so stupid shows not to settle a contract it went to two presidential bro
It's it's so bad. It's so bad in this country. It's so busted in this country like
Like, dude, they can't even, they can't even strike for a fair contract, let alone engage
in labor militancy against like policies.
Because like, there is, under normal circumstances, like a place like Italy even, okay?
What do they do general strikes for?
Labor unions would do a general strike, like their own, Longshoreman's Association.
own like you know unions in the in the logistic side will literally shut down
ports because they're shipping weapons to Israel okay that's unbelievable I
can't even comprehend that right like that's not even a thing okay wait what
never mind I just while we were talking about it
Well, there you have it. That's why strikes work, okay?
As of five minutes ago, while I was in the process of describing this, the necessity
of labor unions, they already reached a contract, literally mid-rent. Look at that. Oh my god.
Talking all that shit. No, it's fucking worth it. What do you mean?
They've been looking for a contract for three years, man. What the fuck are you talking about?
Looking for a contract for three years, man. What the fuck are you talking about?
They've been looking for a contract in three years.
They got it in three days after they struck. That's it.
Bruh, the commute from Long Island this morning was four hours.
It's good to see they strikes.
There it is.
They reached a fair deal with five lure unions that delivers raises for
workers while protecting riders and taxpayers. I'm pleased to announce that
phased lure service will resume beginning tomorrow at noon.
and
The practice crew was awful good thing I'm in a union and got paid to rot on the L I
E baby.
Ler Ler.
Brother the nicks playoff game is tomorrow they knew who they didn't want to piss off.
Yeah, look at the New York Times framing. Look at this. Look at this. Fuck. God damn it.
As the Long Island Railroad Strike continues, tens of thousands endure painful commutes.
Look at these greedy fucking public sector unions.
Yeah.
FYI, we're going to self-accounted government in Long Island and the union.
I mean, has been able to meet with the parties to get a new contract starting January 25.
So this happens more than you think.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Look at that $15 t-shirt that he has on.
He wants a new one.
He's disgusting. Your greed disgusts me, sir. Look at him.
Look at him. A Kimbo, not one, but two pickets. Okay.
He's holding up two placards. Disgusting.
How dare you save some for the rest of us?
Greed. Your greed is sickens me.
You see Courtney Love knows who you are.
Yes, girl.
Is this an Onlythans woman?
This looks like a porn bed.
So being doing that Zara Larsen like right knee on bikini thing.
You see a lot of blush and a lot of highlighter on the nose.
The brats below and the pink head.
She's trans.
This is a trans girl who loves watching gay guys all.
She's a fujoshi.
What's a fujoshi?
It's like the animator for girls that are obsessed with gay guys.
Yeah, I've heard that straight women are driving the numbers on heated rapper.
And Lesby is.
I think she's doing like slutty Twitch streaming.
And then Hassan's on All Day Long.
She learned how to slutty Twitch stream from his b****.
Hassan Parker is great, but like did he put up these photos where he's a beat cake?
He is such a thought and I'm going to say right now, Hassan, respond to my DMs, you're
being a fake friend.
Who does Hassan b****?
It's like...
I'll tell you after the episode.
The best pussy in LA.
The smell of the room is like toxic cupcake spray.
She was like, I always want to go to this
for a whole cupcake ATM.
Except for-
What the fuck is happening?
I think that is over.
Oh my god.
Lana.
Lana, Lana, Lana.
It's Lana's entire discography.
She's not as normie as she may seem
because she didn't enter Charlie at Brat.
And I feel like this girl actually likes rock music.
I'm glad Charlie is alienating
Marvin Fitch's car.
Please, that's the greatest song I've ever heard.
Two minutes long.
I saw her at Barclay Center and I was like,
Why are most of the people here so ugly and poorly dressed?
For her next album cycle, it will probably be like hot people who wear good clothes.
She's got a-
No, Cori loves the house on Obvious. Yes.
It's- it's now officially been revealed for everyone, but that's crazy.
Call the herd.
Yes, she has to call the herd.
I like that people are mad about it.
Yes.
So it's just a fucking troll. Like, just play some rock music for God's sake.
She won me back.
I had a CXOXO stumble.
Yes.
The early trolly to Lana pipe like, this can't be a cis girl.
Right.
Nothing about a person other than they're not Taylor Swift, which means they're cool
Well, she might be normie her taste level is simply too high to be so yes
She has a good life and no drugs on board. I can see her doing some kind of
Yeah, I gotta do interior motives. This is
This is the the new hottest show in town it's basically fucking Geo guess her but for rooms and
And you identify the sexuality the age
and the location of and the gender of the of the person judging by just looking at
their rooms invite people to our fucking podcast ah okay chill who wants to go
first on the first 24 trans go straight I'm gonna go with Philadelphia I'm gonna
say 23 trans girl straight let's see oh come on I hate when they don't do the
reveal in the fucking promo. God damn it. The concentration of not in the Bible words
in this clip is off the charts. I mean, yeah, I have grown a liking to Ivy Volk, I think.
I don't know enough about her at all, but every clip I see of her is very funny. Maybe
I'm being si-opt, but I think she's funny. She's a lot more charismatic than the fucking
in Red Scare Girls are, that's for sure. Like I, when I, when I saw, when I first encountered
her in the wild, uh, on the internet, I thought this is like, uh, uh, a dime square, transphobe
potentially. You're getting one shot at by curated Cliffs, bro. No, she's pretty funny.
She was pretty funny on the John Marco podcast, she's like a very funny person.
She's awesome, every single bad thing about her is from when she was like 15 and manic
during COVID.
Yeah, no, I don't know the deep dive shit.
I was just being unbelievably prejudiced because of the archetype.
Like I did, she has the vibes, the catatonic vibes of a dime square fan, which is somehow
even worse than being on like a red scare fan, sorry, from dime square, which is worse
than being on red scare even. But maybe it was the bangs. I don't know. But she's actually
genuinely funny. She's genuinely funny. I've seen her on all these, all these different
shows and she actually has like good, uh, she has good output.
Anyway.
Her career is taken off.
So she avoided the right wing pipeline.
Yeah.
Oh, by the way.
Let's take a look. Let's check in with our friends. Okay. Let's check in with our friends.
Not a socialist, but everybody deserves a right for healthcare.
That's socialism.
And, well, and you need...
Wait, wait, wait. And, well, hang on a minute. You're saying I'm not a socialist, but then
you're like, I do, though, want socialized healthcare.
That's socialism.
Well, I don't know if that's called socialism.
It is.
needs to have the right to have a doctor and be taken care of and have an advocate that
helps you figure this out because there are none here. There are none. Yes. What I'm going
through now with your father, it is like, but it shouldn't have taken me to be in this
position to know this, but it did. Okay. So I'm here. And I think that that's a, not
going to say it. Not going to say it.
I think that's a very common thing with most MAGA people. It's
hard for you to look outside your immediate life to find empathy
for anybody in a situation that you yourself are not personally
in. Right. You are in that now. You are seeing firsthand that
the medical system in America has nothing to do with doctors or
patients is completely run by insurance insurance companies
They make every decision that is correct. So like dad right now, uh, Bob for those watching the show
He's in a rehab facility trying to get better to get back on his feet and the decision about how long he should stay in this place
People look showed has to be affected personally. Okay, calm down. Oh first of all, you're literally a doctor now
You can't be fucking saying shit like that
Okay, motherfucker. You're literally a doctor calm down. Okay. That's number one number two
That's crazy. Chatter earlier is like, I'm officially a doctor now, by the way. And then later at night, he's like, fuck Bob, you can't do that. Okay. That's number one. Number two. Okay. Um, no, she was already, she was already on board with this kind of stuff.
The first interaction that I had, she was on board with it.
it is not made by the doctor is not made by the patient it is made only by see as
doctor jihad okay I abide by my Hippocratic oath and I'm racist across
the board okay I'm not just like holding out on racism just for the chuds I do
racism to the wokes as well I teach everyone everything that I learned in
my in my doctorate yeah that's all you got to do the insurance company who has a
a bottom line about profits. That's all that matters. That's how the entire American medical
system is run.
And we will be kicked out of the rehab facility next week sometime.
Yeah.
Jesus Christ, that was loud. Wait, I thought you just knew racism, not practiced it? No,
I, I, time to come clean. I'm a, I'm a physician of racism. That's right. I've done, yeah.
Yep. I didn't just go to school. I did my residency in the racism factory. I am a learned and practiced racist. Okay.
Yep. Yeah, I did doctors.borders. I went to, you know, privileged white suburbs and practiced racism there. Okay.
That's right. I was a combat racist.
It's true.
Dr. Jihad, you look like you're about to clog out.
I am.
I'm tired.
Yeah.
Oh, this was really funny from Kyle by ourselves earlier.
A good troll would just be reverse Brianna will constantly say hyper wokeship but then
insist you're a Republican.
of the
Eve Barlow goes to Costco. Oh, no. I walk in the Costco and I saw
Graza. The Jews are tired. I saw it. I can't believe it. I went
into Costco and I saw three Gaza and it turns out it was
Grasa extra virgin olive oil if at law for a moment I thought cost God been lost the Hamas
okay see versus spurs bro come on did not even a question I am I'm already transitioning out of
of, you know, I'm looking for a new goat. And I think we all know who my new goat is.
What's your analysis on this? Can Shoycott still make it? It's the tough, it was inevitable.
Nancy Pelosi has endorsed San Francisco supervisor Connie Chan to succeed her in Congress saying
Chan stands above all the other candidates. Nancy Pelosi personally does not like Scott
Wiener, obviously she hates Shoecott. The problem is a lot of the locals also fucking,
a lot of the local left orgs don't trust Shoecott. And, and, you know, Connie, dude,
San Francisco politics is so bad. I just, I don't know what else to say. Like, for me,
this is yet another clerica indication that that you know Connie Chen is is not
going to be the progressive champion maybe I'm wrong like but they literally
don't give a fuck like they don't San Francisco left San Francisco left
genuinely is like yeah this is good actually
Chances of negative polarization, maybe for the youth, but San Francisco politics is so
busted and dusted. It's hard to look at it. It's hard to look at it as anything, but like
just, you know, it's, it's what's fueling San Francisco politics at this point. It feels
like this is just a lot of spite.
Short cuts holding has changed the party of Pelosi endorsement doesn't change that calculus.
No one who would vote for short cut who was holding out to see who Pelosi would pig. Yes.
But will this actually. Okay. That it picks away from possibly a lot of institutional
voters that we're going to vote for Wiener. This actually guarantees like Nancy Pelosi's
calculus here is this guarantees a Connie chance second place slot. That's the problem, right?
Because up until now, there was a very high likelihood that Wiener was just like picking
up all of the, you know, lifelong DEMs. And then Connie gets to, you know, Connie doesn't,
doesn't make it into the second slot. And sure it got us a decent chance of, of galvanizing the
progressive forces reluctantly at first into believing that he is a far better
alternative than Scott Wiener. However, Nancy Pelosi hates Wiener and did this so
that, you know, Connie gets, Connie eats away at some of, some of Wiener's like
already robust base of support. And it won't, and it's genuinely not going to
Oh
The attacks on Connie Chan made on his on Parker started make a lot more sense using establishment plant. I mean
You have no idea where you're talking about and refused to engage honestly with anyone actually from San Francisco just like a son. Oh
It's just we're we're outsiders. We don't understand it. Okay, we don't understand San Francisco politics is so unique
It's so unique to any other place on the planet. You guys are right. I give up
Okay, I fucking give up. I I
I'm sorry, you're right, dude. You deserve it. You deserve what you get, San Francisco.
Have fun. I understand. I'm sympathetic. I'm sympathetic to, to building a robust progressive
force in one of the fucking centers of capitalism in this country and then have it ripped away
from you because a bunch of fucking psychotic tech CEOs destroyed the movement that you
were building before it actually had any opportunity to exist freely. Okay? I understand. I'm sympathetic
to that. I still think that there is a unique opportunity here to put forth a very bold
candidate. Okay? A very, very bold candidate, a very radical candidate that actually will
move to make that change.
Shroycott isn't a socialist.
Why is SFDSA catching strays?
They didn't endorse Kanye.
No, I'm not even talking about San Francisco DSA, even though they're, no, I'm talking
about like all of the left forces on the ground, including the labor unions are totally aligned
alongside California machine politics.
the way i see it is this is a
we have to break
the forces of california machine politics the nancy polosi adam schiff
contingency the gavin newson coalition
and that's the same reason why i'm much more favorable towards tom steyer as
opposed to like the sarah for example who is the representative of california
machine politics
these people are fucking malleable
okay
these people are malleable
These people are not your allies.
I would much rather pick an outsider in that situation if I had the capacity to vote in
San Francisco.
I would much rather vote for an outsider than vote for an insider who is center left.
That's it.
You just have organized later leadership is oftentimes captured by the Democratic Party
machine.
We need an inside outside straff or labor unions to like we do with UAW and Chaffain.
I know I'm not even going to like the labor unions in the state.
I work with them obviously.
you know, sometimes they arrive at decent politics, but they can also play a formative
role like they're doing in Pennsylvania right now with, with Shreve Street against Chris,
Chris Rabb, right? They will always back the corporate Democrat horse in most circumstances.
Connie Chen is a moderate progressive local politician who's been around and she was hand
selected by the institutional left that remains in San Francisco because they did not trust
Shoyka Chakrabarti.
He's a centimillionaire.
He's made decisions in local politics that people understandably are frustrated by.
And the problem here is, even if all of those forces united, like even if the entire, if
Shoryka wasn't around, and it was just Connie Chan versus Scott Wiener, I still think Scott
Wiener wins, right?
Stop saying Connie Chan, it's Connie Chan.
Chan?
What am I saying?
Connie Chan?
Am I saying it wrong or are you fucking with me?
Chan. What? Okay. You said like Chen like four times. I think I'm saying it right, but
maybe I'm saying you're wrong. Anyway, listen, Connie Chan. Okay. So what I was saying is
I think a matchup with all of the left forces and the financial power that Shoycott has
creates a far more likely scenario for Shoycott to defeat Scott Wiener than Connie Chan
and defeating, they say it right. Now I'm like worried about fucking saying it wrong.
Defeating Scott Wiener, because she already has all those endorsements and she's having
a hard time securing the second slot, like the second place slot, short cut with money
and also the backing of, of, you know, people like myself, outsiders in general has been
able to comfortably rise to the second slot with no institutional left backing
whatsoever. So I do think that he has the capacity to, he has the capacity if he
got that boost to potentially defeat Scott Wiener who is a force to be
reckoned with considering that his state district is literally the exact same
fucking congressional district pretty much.
it's, you know, at the end of the day, there's virtually, I think there's virtually nothing
I can do. I hate the amount of animosity of Garner because I see all of the fucking like,
I see all of the San Francisco leftist Twitter accounts that are just like constantly, constantly
Saying like I'm a real piece of shit. I'm trying to interfere in your own personal politics bitch. I'm from this state. Okay
So fuck are you talking about?
I'm from the motherfucking state and I have a shit ton of my people that live in San Francisco as well
Okay
I'm not interfering in your fucking politics as an outsider like I'm carpet bagging San Francisco. I'm carpet bagging everywhere
Okay, this is a goddamn congressional race. If you understand what I'm doing when I go to fucking St. Louis, right?
Then you can probably understand what I'm doing in San Francisco as well. I
Hate that you aren't from here shit make your argument on policy. Yeah, it's never that it's always like
his his past fun his past funding every single guy that he's literally given money to
by the way, is actively pushing for Scott Wiener. Every single one. Like, not a single one of those
guys like, oh, actually, Shortcut's a great guy. I really like his policies. They're not endorsing him.
They're actively working against them alongside Scott Wiener.
Yeah, as is DSA San Francisco. Remember, I don't completely agree with you, but your carpet bagging
would have been welcomed to moves for an actual DSA candidate, so that's frustrating. Yeah,
It's so stupid. I work with fucking DSA candidates all around the country and so does, you know, who else does that?
Shoe cut Chocobarty. Okay?
Huh
Do you understand that shoe cut does not apply for an endorsement? No, I do it's not this is not even DSA San Francisco
DC San Francisco doesn't endorse non-socialists anyway, and Shortcut Chakraborty does not
call himself a socialist.
Okay?
Anyway.
Anyway, who's the DSA candidate?
There's no DSA candidate in this race.
Hany Chen is not a DSA candidate.
Anyway.
It's so fucked.
Yeah, I saw the Mayor Lurie popularity poll and that's when I knew San Francisco was fucked anyway. Look at this.
Is Mayor Lurie still popular? Our new poll checks in on the state of San Francisco. They fucking love this guy apparently.
They love a billionaire. They love a billionaire mayor.
74% of respondents approved the lure's performance so far, essentially unchanged from a year
ago, far higher than London Breeds in 2024, the last of her more than six years in office.
Still, he has some persistent weak spots. As in the case last year, Lurie receives lowest rating on homelessness and housing.
Yeah, I think this is why the Nancy Pelosi endorsement is big for Connie because they fucking love Nancy Pelosi over there, okay?
Okay, it's just a youth from what I understand that has a distaste for
Nancy Pelosi and I don't know if this will negatively polarize youth turnout in favor of
Shoecott
She's still poppin an SF what do you mean? She's been of the fucking SF
Speaker Emerita from San Francisco for her for longer for longer than I've been
alive. I guess she's not even a thing that takes Nancy Pelosi is the God of
San Francisco politics.
Anyway, I'm trying my best.
I do believe that most of the progressive forces will get behind Shroy Ka if he makes
it to second place.
Jay Mershawn, why do you think we're talking about this?
You're linking the things just got super interesting.
Yeah, I know.
This is, you know, we're, that's how we started talking about this conversation.
I mean, it was, it was going to happen regardless.
I'm just confused.
I'm just shocked that it happened now, right before, uh, so they must not be happy about
Connie Chan's, uh, Chan's performance thus far.
the polls. Pelosi was elected to the house in 1987. Can you help? Can you please wish me a
happy graduation as a graduate yesterday and help me get through high school?
Happy graduation, Chatter.
I'm actually stealing this food right now fucking a son you'd never steal food all we do is go on the bourgeois newspaper the New York Times to talk about micro looting
food right now. Fucking Asani, never steal food. All we do is go on the bourgeois newspaper
The New York Times to talk about micro-looting.
Who's the Walgreens cashier with the receding hairline?
Oh, God, still 2000?
You might see this clip. You can't even make fun of that. No, I can't.
Well, I'll fight for, I'll fight for him to have better wages every day of the damn week. You know what I mean?
Squirrel cooked your ass.
Stroll. Every day. Every day I'm outed as a Zionist.
Every day I'm outed as a genocide lover and a Zionist every damn day of the week.
It's true.
And then the next day I'm outed as a revolutionary terrorist.
A radical Islamic terrorist.
I'm both at the same time.
Whatever the bad thing is in your life. I'm that okay if you noticed I
Get hit from both sides on every issue. I contain multitudes. I am both I
am both
insufficiently revolutionary and a
Liberal sheepdog for capitalist interests. I'm also simultaneously a violent tanky
Revolutionary who wants permanent first-world genocide?
I'm both at the same time it literally is it literally is just whatever you don't like
I am that thing sometimes at the same time you know
All right, but for the time being I'm tired. I'm everything but a hog. No, some people call
me a hog too. Some people will literally say I'm far too woke. And then without even a moment of
reflection will turn around and say, actually he's anti-Asian or anti-black or anti-trans.
You know what, nobody accused me of being a gamer.
Anyway, on that note, ladies and gentlemen, that's all I got.
Good night, and I'll see you tomorrow. Oh, tomorrow I'm going to speak at Tom Steyer
rally it's a labor rally for the record so look forward to that all right
