A son piker, socialist communist, radical left influencer, a son piker, dirtbag left,
a son piker, pro-terrorism, pro-homos, a son piker, a son piker, a son piker, going on
on this vulgar rant mocking wounded Lord Bet
for losing his eye fighting for our freedom.
Have you ever heard someone mention the Strysand effect
and wondered what they were talking about?
This phenomenon is named after Actus Barbra Strysand.
Sometimes when you try to cover something up,
you end up bringing more attention to it
than if you had just let things be.
I hope the Devils aren't by them.
That's because we've been seeing them.
The Assemblyman will not denounce Hasan Piper,
who said America deserved 9-11, dude.
The Assembly uses this in response to Son Piper says America deserves 9-11.
There you go! There you have it!
My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty!
Now to the Michigan Senate race, where Elsai Ed is campaigning in Michigan,
appearing on stage at two Michigan campaign rallies.
He's co-actively campaigning alongside Piper.
The man who says Hezbollah's flag is his favorite, because it's dope.
Why would you align yourself for a raging anti-Semitism?
who has defended Hamas terrorists.
Calling them the lesser of two,
Israel's compared to the government's
evils, commerce, strife.
Lesser of two, that's what I find a bridge too far.
When I went up to my good friend, Chad,
and said, hey, you walking through some more
controversial statements of Assam Piker,
even Chad TVT went out of its way to soften the edges
of Assam and give me context.
Thanks, but no thanks.
Chad should be dead.
Assam Piker is campaign poison,
Replacing yourself on the wrong side of a 19 issue is only gonna make you look bad. It's gonna be good for me
It's gonna be good for the candidates that I work it turns out it was true. Abdul al-sayed at
27%

We'll look at that in a little bit. Anyway, folks folks folks folks folks folks. We're live. We're alive
Lots going on in the world. I'm gonna tell you all about it
This is the bright this part of the broadcast where I tell you about my personal
Uh, news about what's going on in the world of Hassan Habib Piker, obviously international criminal, dangerous terrorists, uh, the, the dangerous radical Hassan Habib Piker.
I'm a numbers guy. Everybody knows. Everybody knows I'm a numbers guy. Okay.
Uh, but yes, I am here. I'm ready to go.
And I'm ready to be value tamed.
value-tained. Patrick uses AI for his arguments. Hell yeah, that's my goat.
Be careful, big red J. Edgar Poover wants your head. True. We'll get to all of that
and more. As far as personal news goes, I know I usually say I'm a shut-ass loser
and I do nothing in my life, nothing of worth, nothing, nothing at all, but the
The reality of the matter is, it's been quite the eventful past couple of days, as you guys
know. This is day two of the Feds are up my ass. We'll be talking about all of that and
more, but yeah, I did a photo shoot yesterday in the morning before the stream, and then
there's a nighttime component as well.
It's gonna be a cover.
Okay, it's gonna be a cover, very exciting stuff.
And I think I look really good.
I can't show you anything yet
because obviously there's an embargo.
It's like serious stuff, right?
So there's a, unfortunately there's an embargo on it.
So you guys won't be able to see it until it's out.
And I won't tell you which magazine it's for,
but your boy looked pretty good.
Your boy looked pretty, pretty, pretty good.
Fox News is watching.
As always, shout out to the Fox News Watchers.
Shout out to all of you.
I'm wearing one of the suits that I literally wore
in the shoot that I bought off the stylist
for the photo shoot.
It's a fucking awesome suit.
You are on Fox news again. It's not surprising
We'll cover all of that and more
Speaking of cover when he was cooking okay see last night sheesh, I didn't watch I have no idea what happened because I was literally doing the photo shoot
There's a typo in your tweet and reply what do you mean?
I don't fucking know what you're talking about, but anyway, I
Wasn't able to watch because I was I was working. I was being a model
I was setting up a future career for myself in the world of modeling ladies and gentlemen
And that's what I was doing last night
Because I had to you know, I have to look for I
Have to look for alternative careers now
as an international criminal. In any case, folks, folks, folks, we're live. We're alive. Watch this
shot. And yeah, I didn't get done until like 12 last night. And by the time I got to my hodl,
I passed the freak out. I was so unbelievably tired. I slept quite a bit. Actually, I went to
to bed at like 12. I had like a 10 hour sleep session, which was good. I caught up on a
lot of lost sleep. So that's good. And other than that, nothing else. I had an interview
with, I did a podcast with Jeremy LaFredo, who's previously been arrested by the IDF
literally doing journalism, you know, many such cases of course, but yeah, I had a
I had a combo with him. We shot that not sure where that's gonna be released
either Dropside or Al Jazeera or one of the other.
But yeah, outside of that,
Not much else, but I guess that's, that's understandable.
You might have ops, but you have moms who will protect you.
Yeah, I saw, I saw, you know, we have many ops, but we have some lovers as well in unlikely
places.
conservative Nana prayed for your soul last night when she said great for for dinner after she thanked the Lord for
guiding Trump to save the country, of course. Pray for my soul. Does that mean like I'm a lost soul? Is that what it is?
We'll take it. We'll take those in a column of defense.
But yeah, I'm live. I'm alive, baby.
So, that's it. Let's take a look at Wemby now.
I've never seen anything like it. I already know it's going to go in.
Instagram started pushing a lot of anti-assam propaganda for me. I know.
I have noticed that as well. Ever since this subpoena announcement came out,
it has been my own algorithm has been inundated with like literally every any
and every centrist Democrat that's like oh my god this is so awesome oh my god
this is such a fucking awesome thing fuck around and find out like people it's
just like liberals celebrating Trump it's been strange it's been strange the
watch. Hold on. Is this better? I can't tell if it's better. Yeah, I feel like my
algo has been tweaked a little bit. It's been tweaking. My algorithm has been
tweaking a little bit, for sure. Stop scrolling. Khab is just out there
celebrating. I mean, Jasmine Crockett is fucking celebrating. We'll talk about all
that and more. It's very strange. I don't know why they think like this administration
will spare them. I feel like they are, they're celebrating their own demise. I even went
on threads. I saw some threads and I was threading. I was threading up. My Twitter
feed has turned into mostly ultras and anti-a-song left. There's a lot of ultras that are also,
Most altars have decided this is ridiculous. They're on my side. They're doing the reluctantly
defending Hassan shit where they're like, you know, I don't really like him and I think
he is still, you know, harnessing the radical energy of the left and like funneling it back
to the Democratic Party. But I reluctantly must defend Hassan here. I hate that I'm doing
it. You know, that sort of thing is what I've heard a lot with some exceptions. But like
liberal, the liberal commentariat that is speaking to a, I would say like a comparatively tiny
audience as the Ultras are, although they have a lot more prestige internally within
the party.
I think liberals by and large, when they when they hear this kind of thing, they they're
shocked they're horrified by it but the increasingly smaller audience of like anti-left liberals on
on twitter they are celebrating um and it's very weird it almost comes across as like coordinated
like their messaging has been almost coordinated i don't know what the fuck that's about
but um yeah they're they're stupid we'll we'll talk about that in a second let's just look at
Hope you rot in prison. Okay man.
That's disgusting. A contested three-point shot from half court. A contested half court shot
where he has not one but technically three guarding him at half court. They're doing a full court
press obviously there's only a couple seconds on the shocklock they get it to
wemby wemby goes up half half court
unbelievable
Yes stop him just pray that is beast mode
that's aura god Wemby has so much aura he's so fucking sick
Wemby is an identical stat line to Steph Curry, down to the true shooting percentage.
Do you agree with this theory?
I can't believe I might be the first one pointing this out, but it seems like they took these
pictures of Hassan the Hun to do a story on Collargate, realized that the control the
dog walker had on them, was the vibration collar and sat on them, sat on them until this came up.
I don't know. I don't know if that's a that's a conspiracy or not. I don't think that's like
I don't I don't think that's the I mean, maybe I doubt it.
It is weird that there was creep shots of Kaia in that article. I know why Fox News posted
those photos though. That's a threat for the record. That's a threat. They did that to
be like, we're, we know where you live. We have constant surveillance on you. You know.
But maybe initially, because I think it's a paparazzi. It's a, it's a pap snap. And
I don't know if it's from January.
I think I said initially that these photos are from January,
but I think it might be, it might be from April
or it might be from May.
I might've been wrong when I said initially
that they're from January.
But yeah, they have stationed the photographer outside
in my house for sure.
Someone has.
But article says May 12th, please move on from this, who cares, your chatter, your brain is rotted, I'm just explaining why they have a person stationed.
Um, anyway, um, when the Yama is the goat, just wanted to point that out one more time.
He's incredible.
Um, is while the fox is paying somebody to sit outside your house and watch your dog
take a shit.
Yeah, that's also fucking crazy.
like Kai's not even taking a shit in that photo. She's pissing and I saw on Twitter there were
motherfuckers who were like classic social dude 99% 99% of things that people say about me 99%
of grievances that people have about me are made up. It's actually incredible.
Like, it's genuine. I mean, obviously, there's a concerted effort to, like,
disparage everything that I do. There's a concerted effort to, like, negatively frame
everything I say. Let me blast off real quick, and we'll get into that, because we're going to be,
we're going to be looking at some of that stuff. It's actually crazy. Like,
Like, they just make shit up.
I guess it's normal, it's Twitter, right?
Like, they make shit up on Twitter all the time.
That's kind of what happens on Twitter, but I don't know.
It's just like, it's still a little bit shocking to me
how much they make shit up.
Anyway, but yeah, we got a big day ahead of us.
regardless. So get excited for that. Get it now. www.holdonwish.tv.
Okay, let's blast off. And let's let the people know that we are live and we are alive. Okay.
Call you all kinds of names big dog. Yeah, no the Nazis are celebrating the conservatives are celebrating because they're like, oh, he's scared
He's scared like I don't know why these guys think I'm just gonna shut the fuck up or something
Like yeah, of course, I'm I'm worried about not just my own personal safety and security
I'm worried about the future of this fucking country man. What do you what are we talking about?
Like this government is very clearly actively trying to target political dissidents.
Well, how is that not a fucking cause for concern? It's the most powerful government on the fucking planet.
Yeah, they're saying I'm like shaken. I'm shooketh.
But Sampakar looks shaken on stream. Like this is the meta where they're like, he looks shaken.
Yeah, it's not a great environment to live in, you fucking idiots.
That doesn't mean I'm gonna stop doing what I'm doing.
You fucking wish, asshole. Suck my dick. This should be a huge cause for concern for anyone that is, you know, that is, regardless of political ideology, anyone that is in any way, shape, or form invested in the continuation of democracy or at least like certain aspects of liberal democracy that are unbelievably
unbelievably redeemable that I like, like free speech, and a court process that hopefully will
still maintain an investment in defending the truth.
You know, that's, it's a terrifying situation for all of that. It's really
fucked up. It's a turning point in American history.
It's so funny that they're just like fantasizing about
They have their own little fucking hug box where they're fantasizing about how like we got him. This is it's over
He's going to prison
Or he's terrified. He's scared. It's like yeah, dude. I'm fucking what do you I've said it from the start, okay?
You kill me you jail me there's gonna be other people, you know
You're not going to be able to stop the people from feeling the way that they do, you know?
You're going to have to concede on their demands at some point.
That is what it is. You know, I personally still believe that the democratic process is perhaps
the most successful method of dealing with discontent.
But ultimately, people are frustrated. I'm only one guy, you know?
I'm only one person
Dude, it's not like you were indicted I know this is
Dude calm down. We're this is the expectation. That's what they're that's what we're I
Mean, I don't know. I don't know what's gonna happen. I haven't even received the fucking subpoena. So I don't know
Um, but yeah.
Um, but yeah, that's the, uh, that's the blast off meme.
Feds there after me blow Magan Nazis love it New York City, Iran where ceasefire is real molding fcs fury day 87
No war with Cuba Darryl is on stream later get in now
It's an administrative subpoena they have another target, but want to bring you in for corroboration
I think it'll be fine. I've done this before. Yeah, I think that the the target is
I think that ultimately the target is probably Singham and his operation from PSL to Answer Coalition to Co-Pink, like anything that he has ever financed.
And it's not new. It's been around for a while. But it's obviously, it's held through regardless because like it's ridiculous, right?
It's like totally fucking ridiculous to try and stop like the political advocacy of an
American citizen.
Roy Singham is an American citizen.
He lives in China now and he's a centimillionaire.
Think he has almost a billion dollars.
Not sure how much money he has now.
like he's been a funding vehicle for a lot of like political a lot of political movements in
the country like a lot of activism and they hate that shit like the American government hates that
shit so they're trying to jam them up you know they're trying to hit him on anything and everything
they possibly can. That's it. That's the goal here. That's the broader goal. And it's great
from the administration's perspective because I think they get to chill speech, right? They get to
say, listen, we will fucking destroy your life if you even think about doing activism against us,
right? I mean, it's a much larger goal of the administration, the idea of counterterrorism
initiatives being focused entirely on left movements, solidarity campaigns and the like.
It's not new. This is something that they've signaled that they wanted to do.
And this is just the next step in line with that agenda.
Many Americans are, as I've said over and over again, sleepwalking into fascism, completely and utterly oblivious that the administration has declared war on anti-fascism, and you only do that if you are a fucking fascist.
And this is a fascist administration that has decided that some of the telltale markers
of terrorism in this country are people who are anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, they say
radical transgender activists, and even things as vague that captures virtually every liberal
as well, things that are anti-family values.
Right?
And Sebastian Gorka is behind it, so just so you understand.
Now, of course, the number one hurdle that these guys have, the number one hurdle that these guys have ahead of them, is the First Amendment.
In this country, the First Amendment has literally stopped the American government from prosecuting the Klan.
That and also the fact that, you know, some of those who are in the force were also wearing the robes themselves.
But regardless, like, the First Amendment is one of the most important rules in the rulebook.
It stopped the government from actively prosecuting the Klan
and it's
Literally something that has in the past stopped the government from actively prosecuting certain groups
Even though they've done other things like the McCarthyite trials, McCarthyist trials, obviously
So
Libs refuse to even talk about MPSM7 much less think about how it includes them too. Yeah
But the subpoena is this opinion even real though the media says you've already been served it
Yeah, I I have not
I have not been served it so I don't know
So
We'll get into that but there are there I was saying like a lot of my haters
Have
Invented reasons to hate me some of them have different motivations like this guy is a fucking asshole, right? I
I don't understand why don't you why don't you think liberals are even bootleg and genociders? Why would you want this all day anyway? I
Said we've sufficiently proven what you are, buddy. We didn't expect anything from you. I don't know why
The centrist liberals on Twitter think they have any sort of motion in the real world by the way
They don't it's it's them chirping into the fucking void. It's very strange. There's this like
since
The subpoena announcement came down. There has been a lot of talk on
Centrist Twitter like blue maga blue and on Twitter talking about how
Talking about how this is awesome like this is great. Oh, we're you know, I'm I'm
Uncommitted on this war between Trump and Hassan just like Hassan was uncommitted like all this stuff, right?
like they're doing this they're doing this back and forth but it's no it's not this similar to
their chirping of like a of pro-israel sentiment like it's it's identical to the same thing i told
all of you back then when they were fucking constantly talking about you know democrats
can't drop israel democrats can't drop israel democrats can't drop israel
And it's really funny because I kept repeatedly saying over and over again, it doesn't matter
what is popping off on Twitter, it doesn't matter at all.
In the real world, Democrats absolutely are done with Israel, right?
Like real Democratic Party voters, self-identifying liberals are directly at odds with what goes
viral on Twitter, okay?
No matter how much these loud minority chirps and gets an algorithmic boost, for example,
on Twitter or on threads or all these other fucking social media platforms in the real
world, most people, if you ask them what they think about it, they're like, oh, gross.
Democrats, I mean, of course.
So that's where we're at.
You can cry about how these socialists are not a part of the fucking party whatsoever,
But you know, here's a New York Times-Siena opinion on socialism poll.
Opinion on socialism among potential Democratic supporters, which not isn't, we're not even
just talking about like Democrats, we're talking about potential as in Democrat lean voters.
And it's favorable, plus 27%, plus 27%.
Socialism as an ideology has a higher approval rating than the Democratic Party does.
Democrats.
I feel like I need to match this up against Chuck Schumer, you know what I mean?
Or pro-Israel Democrats.
The socialism is a more popular ideology among Democrats and Democrat-leaning voters than
Israel certainly is, right? Israel's approvals are probably the exact opposite, if not worse than this, right?
So what are we fucking talking about? What are we talking about? Like, what's the argument here?
What are you complaining about on Twitter?
If your job as an analyst or as a free
commentator who larps as though they're getting paid by the DNC when you're not getting paid by the DNC is to make it seem like you have a
a profound understanding of where the streets are, where this movement is going, then you
have to recalculate, you have to recalculate in accordance to where the base is.
It's not just Democrats leftist that fell hurt when you did this for Kamala, 100% are
trying to say you deserve it, who I really didn't believe, that it's time to try and
stop fighting them and convince them to help understand how important this is for all of us.
Who are the leftists? Who the fuck is a leftist that would say that? They're not a leftist
at all if they're saying that. Please point to me, an actual quote unquote leftist person
who is in any way, shape or form. Like Midas Touch is not going to fucking say that. Midas
Touch is going to obviously fight back against this and they're liberals, they're not even
left is. I truly wonder who you are getting this information from. If anything, there
are people who are mad at me for offering too much support to Kamala Harris on the left,
to my left. I mean, this tweet is apt, not this one. This tweet is apt. There are leftists
that hate Hassan Piker because he voted for Harris. There are liberals who hate Hassan
Piker because he didn't vote for Harris. Schrodinger's vote. It's true. People on threads that I
know are leftists, but not that famous to be honest. Yeah, they're not. They're not
leftist then. I'm sorry. They're fucking not. I can say that with my full chest.
Anyone who claims to be a fucking leftist that is, is chirping, or that is, like, currently,
that is currently in any way, shape, or form lending credence to the fascist encroachment
on all civil liberties that this administration is engaging in because they have a personal
distaste about my politics is not a fucking leftist at all. They might as well be near
a motherfucking Tandon.
Lives hate you for voting for Jill Stein. That's so funny.
I've literally, I'm not even gonna get into it. Okay.
Yeah, near attendance, a defense of me was so fucking
stupid. It's not a real defense at all. She says, I'm an adult.
So, I can say that Trump admin weaponizing the justice system against dissenters on its
Cuba policy is wrong.
I can also say people who encourage people not to vote for Kamala were fascist enablers
and it's ironic they're expecting the Dems, they attack regularly to defend them.
And I can also understand people uncommitted on this topic because they don't want to support
the lesser of two evils.
I said, Dem incompetence led us to Trump twice.
The left has never stopped opposing Trump.
This insane convo only exists on this fucking website.
Most people are mad at Dems for not doing enough.
of the spokespeople for the party on the stupid website are out of touch with the masses. That's it.
This is a shrinking contingency of people that are constantly engaging in hysterics.
In the real world, if you ask the average Democrat, like the lifelong blue-blooded down-ballot voter,
If you were to ask that person, do you like how do you rate the Democratic Party's current attitude towards the the
Fascist encroachment of Donald Trump, they would give it a very low mark if not an F maybe a D. Okay?
So
What goes on on Twitter or on threads among some of the most skit so fucking posters is
Utterly immaterial utterly irrelevant
Look at the fucking polls, the people, the lifelong Democrats, people who vote for the party are frustrated with the party.
They're still voting, they're still voting for Democrats, but they're looking for different kinds of Democrats to vote for.
The kinds of Democrats that I work with, Democratic socialists, anti-Zionists, people who are pro-medicare for all, people who say enough, enough is enough, no more corporate sponsorships.
People who don't, people who don't want to vote for Democrats who will put the interests of corporations against the interests of people.
I don't even think blue sky libs are fucking with this either by the way.
Yeah, what the fuck is wrong with our Jasmine Crockett boosts video mocking the Sompiker after subpoena from Trump admin for bringing food and medicine to starving Cubans.
Kamala would have never, that's what you get for telling people to vote third party.
third party. Not the kind of shit a member of Congress should be doing, also seeing all the
weird K-high accounts doing some goofy ass victory live because the fascist federal government is
targeting a shimmer they don't like, is really telling about what some of their core beliefs
actually are. Also not that it matters, but Piker voted for Harris. He spent the 2024 campaign
warning people about how bad Trump would be. He did not tell his audience to vote third party
no matter how much K-high weirdos insist he did. It's the same crap that people pulled when they
got outraged about Chapel Roe saying they vote for Harris, but not offer some sort of formal
endorsement. It's never enough for the cultists. It's not enough to vote for their candidate. You
you have to be their little cheerleader.
I feel like this is the logical end point for a lot of the Fafo and leprosy
eating faces party stuff.
It ends up just being an excuse to opt out of having to care if something bad
happens to someone you don't like for one reason or another.
And I have not actually fucking, um, uh, maintain this position with one exception.
Okay.
Uh, there's a, they've like gone into the, they've gone into the stock piles, uh,
And found a video of me literally saying like, you know, fuck Adam Schiff
Uh if donald trump goes after him with a sham trial, you know, I don't give a fuck
Okay, I adam schiff
I voted for him. Okay. He's my fucking senator. He's literally my goddamn senator
Will he actually defend me as his constituent? Probably not
I know for a fact he didn't defend his other constituents that were getting fucking tortured
in an Israeli prison when they participated in the Samud flotilla. Fuck Adam Schiff.
Now I have an ideological opposition to Adam Schiff. Okay? I have an ideological opposition to Adam
Schiff. Explain to me, explain to me, if you are a random uninitiated larper who larps as a DNC
consultant but doesn't get paid by the Democratic party at all, explain to me what your ideological
opposition to me is. Tell me in great detail what policy prescriptions I have
that you are at odds with. Explain to me why you hate the future that I am
fighting for, the future that this community is fighting for, the future that
the candidates that I work with are fighting for. Tell me and everyone else
why we would be better off doing business as usual politics. What is the
opposition here. I can tell you with absolute certainty what my opposition to Adam Schiff is.
I can tell you exactly what it is. Are you brave enough to tell everybody that you just really
care about Israel? Because I'm pretty sure Adam Schiff would say it.
He's my senator.
Yeah, reminder that Hassan hoped that Adam shit was set the prison when and also I'm not even being fucking super serious here
I'm like I'm fibbing, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter
And it's funny because other liberals like be better than him. It's not that difficult. Yeah, be better than me bitch
oh my god senator adam shit under federal criminal investigation for alleged morgan
fried by mortage fired by languages oh my god i hope i hope they arrest him oh my god i hope he
goes to like i'm fucking memeing and put all i voted for him suck my dick you know
Oh my god, I hope he goes to prison. Oh, I hate him so much
Fuck yeah. Oh hell. Yeah. Yeah, this is political sure. I don't care
Like I'm doing a Trump voice
I'm doing a motherfucking Trump voice. This is your thing
The same clip the context you were shitting on Trump. Yeah, I know
What do we have the longer version of this? I'm sure I I turn it around on Trump again and be like he's unfavorable
He sucks and that's why he's doing it. You know, I'm not an elected official by the way
I don't know if you guys know this. I'm a fucking political commentator
You know
Okay, Adam Schiff, now a Senator, needs to be brought to justice.
Dude, mortgage fraud?
You're a real estate developer.
That's what you've done, like always.
As the business says you, Momin.
Donald Trump going after Barack Obama for trying to do a coup,
and also some things are going after Adam Schiff or mortgage fraud.
What's next?
Going after Bill Clinton for Philly and being a Jeffrey Epstein affiliate?
I see what you're doing there, sir. He's fixing the SEO. He's fixing the SEO, dude.
Because the Democrat Party is...
By the way, I don't remember hearing about SHIFT getting subpoenaed. No, I don't even
know what happened at that point. I think it's just like it went nowhere, obviously.
I mean, this administration is unbelievably litigious and will aggressively file as many
fucking losses as possible and try to prosecute as many people as possible.
These guys themselves falsely encourage people to either not vote for Kamala, vote third-party
or not vote at all.
They're living in complete delusion because you explicitly said Trump was worse than Kamala
Harris and not to vote third-party.
No, I just said don't vote for the Green Party, okay?
I said I would now vote for the Green Party and that that's why a lot of people to my
left are frustrated with me where they say like you know you're fucking you're fake
you're phony you take all the trapped revolutionary potential and like feed it back to the Democrats
but yeah I'm not a fan of Adam Schiff but I said you know if Adam Schiff comes out
defend me and apologize for not defending other constituents of his that were trapped
in Israeli prisons being tortured when we were asking him to release a statement or
to pressure the Israeli government as an American senator.
If he apologizes to those people or if he fucking tries to apply pressure to the government,
i'll change my calculation i'll apologize to adam ship
on care
the very different world of reliving in
yeah
these guys
uh... ultimately the reason why
i want to stress this one more time like these guys are chirping into the
fucking void
they don't have a real constituency
uh... they're just talking to one another and hyping each other up it's like a
bunch of
it's a bunch of fucking losers
trapped in an echo chamber that's like shrinking and shrinking and shrinking
shrinking
and they're consistently telling one another uh... yeah everyone believes us
everyone actually is very frustrated with the fact that these like insurgent
campaigns are coming out of nowhere
they hate that these guys are disloyal to the democratic party
uh... and that loyalty to the democratic party is absolute
And there's also this like weird thing that they have diluted themselves into thinking,
which is, I mean, there's a lot of delusional schools of thought here, right?
Like one is that I'm somehow a kingmaker that, that refused to endorse Kamala Harris.
And that's what did her in, even though Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris.
And that didn't do shit, right?
Beyonce, Taylor Swift, all these celebrities endorsed Kamala Harris.
And that certainly didn't work.
and that the party or the campaign is infallible, it can only, it can't fail, voters can only fail the party, you know, this, this, this opinion is, is idiotic, it's like fundamentally the opposition to, to theoretical democracy.
So I, I despise it, I find it unconscionable, I, I'm very frustrated by it.
But then the other delusion that they have that I find very funny is that they have any motion at all like as if
If they got out and we're like if all these fucking centrist liberals got out and we're like hey guys
This is a bridge to fucking far Trump needs to put an end to this right now that somehow that would mean anything
Like don't don't defend me dumbass expose what kind of a fucking crook you are what kind of a creature you are
I don't give a shit
What is this? If you want to see the vid with all the khai talking points, Hasan Piker stands are angry. I understand I'm angry too. So let's respond to some comments. Who is this person? Tabitha speaks.
Yeah, I don't care. I don't want to watch this. I don't want to watch this at all. I don't care about like the fucking delusional hug box that these guys have created that's like increasingly shrinking that doesn't speak to any valid constituency at all.
So I'm not going to do that. Okay, I know why Kamala Harris lost. I've talked about why Kamala Harris was going to lose if she didn't fix certain aspects of her campaign. She chose not to do that.
She chose to lose. I think we should be less forgiving of profoundly powerful institutions and candidates that, for one reason or another,
other, treat this election carelessly.
Hillary Rodham Clinton did this, and they ran around saying it was Russia.
That was the reason why she lost.
They did the Bernie's, the reason why Hillary lost nonsense in 2016.
And now they're still doing that, except now the very same people who participated in 2016
and the Bernie is the reason why Hillary lost, the Bernie Bros, the Bernie Bros.
Now those people are saying Bernie would have won.
So at least in 2016, back when they were doing this whole like Bernie is the reason why Hillary
lost, you guys are fucking selfish, you're disgusting.
At least there was also like a decent amount of people who agreed.
a decent amount of people in the in the constituency in the base of the party
that believe that idea
in twenty twenty six
a decade of trumpism they don't believe that idea anymore the bases now
completely shifted
to bernie was right
bernie would have won
they stole the election from bernie that's what the fucking democratic
party's basis saying
but the the loyalist the increasingly smaller group of of
uh... consultants and and loyalist that larpas dnc consultants
are still trying to
create motion behind the notion
the bernie crats in the insurgents that are literally running and winning in the
primaries in the party
are actually bad for the party somehow
that are actually outsiders you're the outsider
you're the outsider if your pro-israel you're the outsider in this party
doesn't matter how loyal you've been to whichever establishment democrat
that has uh... been presented to you it doesn't matter how excited you were to
do that right
you are
a fucking outsider to your own party so wake up
the base wants different things
what about to draw two real
i mean again another psycho it's a very unlikable there are so many of these
like
on likable psychos
in the mother fucking k high of uh... constituency the k high coalition
Very strange.
Yeah.
Democrat voters agree with the Sompiker more than the party itself.
Now, this was made by Jules Nader on March 31st, our numbers guy.
This is a numbers guy.
We already have proof that this is the case because after this line of attack,
This is a presuit Hassan, not post-suit Hassan, but this line of attack was initiated.
And what did that do?
It only brought more forward momentum, more positive momentum to the candidates
that I was associating with.
So we already don't even need to look at this.
We can just point to Abdul's success in the primaries.
We can point to Chris Rabb.
Right?
That's it.
Ultimately, that's what I think is the real problem for many of these, like,
like, uh, Kay Hivers and Blue Anon, Blue Manga people, right?
Didn't Crocodges endorse the APEC candidate?
Yes.
When a fascist president, no one has done enough, but some have done more than others.
Yes.
You.
You have done more than others.
You are literally directly, you have a direct line of communication with like Democrats in
power and you have used that level of influence that you have to make them stay the course,
to make them continue with a pro-corporate backed agenda.
That's the whole point.
That's what I'm saying.
Anti-voter liberals are celebrating political persecution of leftist, the same way they've
celebrated state vans against Muslims and Latinos and the genocide of Palestinians, all
in the name of scolding demographics they perceive as insufficiently loyal.
of sick people. It's fucking true. By the way, unbelievable vindication for James Tallerico
voters in the Texas primaries. Holy fuck, you guys saved the goddamn Texas. You saved
the goddamn Texas Democratic Party from itself. Okay. What a spectacular flub that would have
fucking looked like. Oh, this guy also has a, this is the one, but some fans will look
you dead in the eye and tell you this is out of context i said i'll gladly
apologize if my senator adam schiff lifts a pinky finger to defend his
anti-zine is constituent in democracy he certainly didn't when my friends were
being tortured in israeli prison why would he care if i go to an american one
is what i said he's my fucker has a palestinian flag in the bio
the fuck
what is happening i've never been the kind of guy to be like oh if you have a
a Ukrainian flag in your bio in a Palestinian flag in a bio, you know, sometimes you arrive
at some weird conclusions about American politics. Probably a bad empanada fan. Fuck
no, that's not a bad empanada fan. That's a, that's no, not at all.
But yeah, the last thing I wanted to show you is of course, J, Jasmine Crockett, Jasmine
Crockett boosts video mocking a Sampai graphic recipient from Trump admin bringing food and
medicine is starving Cubans Kamala would have never that's what you get for telling
people to vote third party this was the video that she actually said lamal to
by the way what's funny is I have that exact same t-shirt that this lady is
wearing officials now want to speak to Hassan Piker he has to actually go and
address them in person but you're so dumb you're so dumb I'm sorry you're so
fucking stupid if you think this administration is not gonna come after
to you as well okay and before people say oh this admin has been coming after
black and brown people yeah I know because I've been in the fucking streets
fighting against that what have you guys been doing just fucking chirping from
home and not even chirping at the admin necessarily but sometimes chirping at
the people who are doing this
Yeah, I didn't do that. I just didn't endorse Kamala Harris
Yeah, Jasmine Crockett is a civil rights lawyer by the way
Who also endorsed Israeli agent Wesley Bell over Corey Bush this week, so this is unsurprising is
Is what I said. Yeah, she she endorsed Javier Becerra and then fucking turned around and endorsed
Wesley Bell dude, what the fuck? I mean, it's expected if you've been paying attention to what Jasmine Crockett is doing
Obviously that was one of the big
One of the big points of resentment that I had I
Know that neoliberals Kylie chunks is I know that neoliberals have no real core values beyond hating leftist
But you grasp out insane one has to be to mock and celebrate a fascist regime going after dissenters over their speech
Trump hates Crockett as much as piker and she still treats this as a joke
Yeah
You aren't even a liberal anymore near I may not agree with what you say
But I will defend to the death. You're right to say it
That was the expression of what liberalism was supposed to represent you have abandoned even that in your futile factional fight you discussed me
Yeah, they're not like there are still plenty of self identifying liberals who look at this
Who look at this and are and are horrified by it right when they when they encounter it many people don't even know this is happening
But those who do find out
Those who do find out that this is happening, they're horrified. That's the overwhelming majority.
If you were to pull every goddamn self-identifying Democrat Party voter, Democratic Party voter, liberal in this country, okay?
You would realize that they think this is unconscionable. When they find out about it, they go,
No, that's fucked up. Same thing that happened with my detention, right?
Now, what's really interesting about it is that Neera Tandon and the like weren't chirping
about the Trump administration detaining me when I arrived in the country from my trip
to France.
And they are now.
They are collaborating and coordinating a messaging campaign to justify Trump's actions.
Why do you think that's the case?
I know why.
Back then, they weren't doing it.
That was an unjustifiable detention.
Why didn't they defend Trump doing that?
Why didn't they hit the lines of like, oh, Kamala Harris wouldn't have detained you.
Why are they doing it now?
Well, I'll tell you why.
Because I started working with insurgent candidacies.
And I started helping them win insurgent candidacies in the Democratic Party.
And then that threatened their money.
That threatened their influence.
threaten the influence of those who want to maintain centrist control over the
center of the Democratic Party. Which insurgents, Lamal, buddy, have you not been
fucking paying attention? I mean I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be talking to one in a
couple hours, okay? There are many more to come in the primaries that are coming
up as well, but Chris Rabb is one great example of this. Abdul Al-Sayed rising in
And the polls is another one, guys, Bernie will send you his free fight oligarchy.
Yeah, yeah, we're not going to do this, okay?
Hey, hey, hey, my man, my man.
I have been very clear, Zoram Omdani is another one obviously.
I've been very clear about this from the start, okay?
I know that there are a lot of left pure Ultras out there, real Third Worldists, okay,
find my advocacy to be insufficient. Okay? I know. I know you guys are out there. You're pure. You
have the best methods. But I need you to understand something. Okay? Our goals are, if not identical,
fairly fucking similar. Like the final endpoint here is to move away from American imperialism,
to offer restitution to the victims of American Empire, right? To allow nations in the periphery
some breathing room to develop sovereignty, to develop dignity, to build their countries in a
vision that they find appropriate. If that's your goal and that's certainly my goal and I don't hide
it, and we simply have a difference in methods and tactics, do you think it's productive to consistently
chirp at me, and to make it seem like I'm engaging in some sort of, like,
tail-ist opportunism at a time when there is no vanguard that has been
developed or designed, when most people lack class consciousness, and the federal
government, the fascist government of the United States of America under the
leadership of Donald Trump, has decided that people like myself, people like
yourself are a significant enough threat to constitute a fucking sham investigation.
Do you find infighting, leftist infighting of this sort, especially in this moment,
to be in any way, shape, or form productive if this is not the moment where you wake the
fuck up to at least, or to at least understand that this is a testament to the success of
this method, considering that those who are in power genuinely see it as a fucking threat
and never have a threat to actually like maybe even put the crosshairs like legal crosshairs
in an illegal manner on someone like myself and many others who are trying to do their
very best with the limited confines that they have.
If you can't comprehend it at this moment, I don't think you ever will.
Wake up to liberals I say wake the fuck up to the altars I say wake the fuck up.
That's it.
What did I tell you about BlueMaga?
They are fascists.
That is why they don't mind that the Democratic Party and the Democratic Party's leadership
constantly enables the fascist Republicans.
They don't mind because they're fascists, too.
BlueMaga liberals, particularly the ones that have been cheering and making excuses and
mocking and laughing about the fact that the fascist Trump administration has subpoena
Hassan Piker for the crime of trying to bring aid to starving people in Cuba after the US,
the Trump administration, put a vicious and devastating blockade on Cuba that is literally
choking them out. The fascists in the Trump administration now want to penalize Medea Benjamin
from Code Pink, Hasan Piker for going there and attempting to bring awareness about what
this regime was doing to Cuba, and what does Blue Maga have to say about that? They're
celebrating it. They're laughing about it. Instead of being outraged that this fascist
administration is trying to criminalize an American citizen for exercising their freedom
of Movement and Freedom of Speech to talk about what this administration is doing to Cuba.
They're laughing about it. They're cheering it. They're saying, oh well, should have more
enthusiastically endorsed Mamala. Hey, so if you're sounding indistinguishable from Laura
Loomer, you might want to check yourself. The claims of the Blue Magalibs for years
has been Donald Trump and Republicans can't win because if they win, they're going to
do fascist things and they're going to criminalize their political opponents. Well, that's happening
now and you're cheering it. And why are you cheering it? Because you personally don't
like Hassan Faker. So you guys are not only fascists, you're principle-less bitches, okay?
You're moral-less creeps. If you are an independent who leans left or a Democratic voter, I want
you to pay attention to the way that these blue-magic influencers, these liberal influencers,
are talking about Hassan. Because if they actually gave a single fuck about the freedoms
in this country about fighting fascism, they would certainly not be cheering or making excuses
for a fascist fucking administration trying to criminalize political dissent and also
pay attention to what they care about.
They don't care about what this administration is doing to Cuba.
They don't give a shit.
Oh, you thought they only didn't give a fuck about Palestine?
No.
They don't give a fuck about what this administration is doing to Cuba either.
All they care about is that Hassan Pekker did not faithfully and loyally enough serve
party leadership.
It's just funny because if this party had demonstrated that it was fighting for us in
any meaningful way, shape, or form. If it was worth a damn, right? Then, obviously, there
would be a lot more people out there doing the same thing that BlueMaga is doing, or
at the very least, like, demonstrate similar loyalty. They're doing this to a party that
is unbelievably unpopular. They're doing this to a party that is unpopular because
it's not sufficiently fighting against Trumpism. Okay, a party that has been way more active
in trying to stop its left insurgency movement than stopping motherfucking, what is this?
Regardless of our differences, I do not think it's right to celebrate the fest targeting
Sampai girl documentary and Cuba is not deserving of the same persecution of the FC class, clear
political persecution. Yup, of course, it's not right. Anyone supporting such censorship
is worse than a Zionist, sensorious scum. We can talk society at large. Ironically, it's
people who claim to care about personal liberty and freedom. So they're worth the hypocrites
as well as anti-freedom scum
if that would happen to you as i will spit on you and throw you on the
ground you know that's not the case actually
as a matter of fact i've literally fucking defended
with the exception of like jokingly talking about adam schiff
uh... being victim to a
sham trial
uh... with the exception of like fitting or joking my position has been
clear like i don't fucking care about jim comey i don't like jim comey at all
i've defended jim comey against the trump administration
i've defended people who have spent their entire fucking lives coming after me
people like sex past any
given credit to democrats who have also
expended political and social capital to defend others like van holland who i've
been unbelievably impressed by
with the kilmar brega garcia situation where he just straight up flew down
to l salvador to demand to see his constituent
yet it's also stuff like this they came for black voting rights like a week ago
and you didn't say a single word
but it doesn't matter right because it's all about the hog box he's talking about
a length of almost every single stream
this is proof that you know watching it all and even if you did you too bad faith
to give a fuck about what he has to say
now that's what it is
near immediately retweeted this after the girl boss yet went from a after
adam chef is on she did on channel lock em up
they have
they have this this uh...
on the principal stance here or i guess the only priority that they have is
destroying the left
why are you taking so much time to address k haven blue and on it's
important
the reason why it's important is because i think everyone is fucking
redeemable i think everyone is salvageable
and i still perhaps with my endless charity
endless charitability
think that there is something
uh... you know think that there is something that could be saved here it
could be salvaged here
yeah i i i defend jimmy kimmel
i talked about colbert
It's just totally fucking ridiculous.
These guys are, you know, these guys have lost
the fucking plot.
Now let's take a look at these videos.
That's news and a bunch of news outlets.
The feds, subpoenaed, Hassan Piker,
Medea Benjamin, and other activists and organizers
who went to Cuba.
And as someone who was actually on the delegation
with Code Pink and who has gone to Cuba
more than once with Medea Benjamin,
let me just say that this regime,
all of those right wingers that were getting online
we were on our trip talking about we were partying, that cold pink through a concert.
And let me not forget all the white Cubans in Miami that ain't in Cuba, can eat shit.
And let me set the record straight, especially since these billionaire back media company
wouldn't care about the truth if you slapped it on their forehead.
Well, folks were getting online spreading propaganda about that Cuban trip, having not
stepped nary a foot in Cuba.
Let me remind the masses that while Americans can travel to Cuba, it is heavily restricted,
which means that number one, we have to get a visa.
And we cannot travel over to Cuba as tort, and can only travel under 12 authorized categories
according to OFAC guidelines.
And the OFAC is the Office of Foreign Assets Control.
So those categories have to be religious activities, educational activities, visiting
family, or humanitarian efforts, in addition to that, and I've said in multiple videos
when we-
Like, not only was there a humanitarian component to this, obviously on top of that,
i was there
like i was there on a journalism visa
so it's doubly fucked
came back from you the united states department of state does not allow
americans to stay in any of this list of hotels
because our delegation specifically came by the hundred we did not say is what is
known as a gossip article i'd
but i don't tell that's approved
by the united states government
which makes me wonder when right winger and white supremacist nix charlie
flew to cuban
and live is saying that he was
quote-unquote kidnap and can't leave cuba if you look at these amazing
i can confirm near attended has been reaching out for meetups with center
streamers and content creators even some very irrelevant ones with no audience
yeah i know you're talking about hutch right just something to keep in mind i
know
near attended
with center for american progress is trying to build a a internet vanguard
of centrism right now
it's going to fail spectacularly even with all of the the funding
that they will put behind this initiative, okay?
It's not gonna fucking work and they're so stupid.
I don't know why they waste all this time and energy,
just fucking allow there to be a big tent,
if that's what you're worried about.
Like lock in, man, lock in.
Like banning it with the right oids?
Yes, except the difference is banning
and many others
leaned in
to the populist right populist base
the democrats are trying to do the exact opposite they're trying to prop up
a centrist
uh... content creation machine
with the hopes
that they could potentially combat not just the right but more so people like
myself
who already have the audience right
Pyger isn't even known to the general public nearer, but the bogus strategy of abandoning
progress was the court MAGA was on the national stage. The party itself cost the election.
Yeah.
But these, these, look, one of the most popular centrist aligned or like party aligned networks
is Midas Touch and even Midas and Pod Save America.
What's the difference between Midas Touchpots of America and all these other content creators
that NeeraTandon is associating herself with?
You want to know what that difference is?
They also cross-pollinate with me.
They are not.
They're left agnostic, sometimes even left supportive.
That's the difference because they understand that this is a real constituency.
they understand that there is real motion on the left of the party
that's it you guys can say you or whatever the fuck you want but it's true
might as touch
might as touch regardless of being
liberal
regardless of of being uh... like a like a party backed
uh... media company
is not
uh... uh... as conservative as like third way or center for american progress
with a very clear-cut agenda of
casting aside the a o c wing of the party
the bernie sanders wing of the party might as such loves bernie
the might as such audience loves bernie
pot save america is the same
both their audiences and the the people that are on these very successful
media operations on the liberal side
closer to the center than someone like myself
understand the importance of building coalitions
on the fucking left because they're pragmatic they don't have
the same
ideological zealotry demonstrated by the
corporate lobbyist wing of the party the corporate lobbyist wing of the party
backed by the likes of near attended in many others
don't actually have a real base at all
urtans here they belong to hotel national not
fact checking purposes exhibit b
what's interesting is exhibit c and the fact that hotel national now leguba
is on the restricted list.
So all back in the day,
the Hotel Nacional saw the likes
of Frank Sinatra, Marlon Branda,
Nat King Cote.
It's actually illegal for Americans to stay there.
Also, Nick Shirley is not Cuban,
so that crosses off family.
And then in addition to that,
he wasn't going there for religious activity.
And I didn't see him giving-
Well, he is a Mormon, you don't know that.
Any humanitarian aid.
So where's Nick Shirley's federal subpoena?
Yeah, it's not coming because Nick Shirley was sent
most likely by the government.
Yeah, this was the uncommitted movement fascist.
I'm uncommitted on getting a salsa peanut like these guys
barely break a thousand likes on Twitter, okay?
It's just, at a certain point,
I'm gonna stop talking about it.
Actually, that point is probably coming soon.
I just wanted to mention that if your timeline
also polluted with this kind of insanity. There is a dedicated push from a lot of people,
sex-pestiny orbiters for the most part, and the corporate lobbyist wing of the Democratic
Party that actually is desperately holding on to the center of power and the National
Democratic Party that has led to the Democrats making terrible choices, terrible decisions,
and not be sufficient in fighting the Trump administration.
Those guys don't have any real base.
The Democratic primary voters voting uncommitted in the 2024 presidential primary has signaled
a disapproval of Biden's foreign policy and warned that it would cost the party if unaddressed
was not fascist.
The party should have listened.
They were right on all accounts.
But the party didn't want to listen to its own voters because at the elite level it's
disproportionately overrepresented by pro-Israel orgs, consultants, donors, patrons, and
many older elites who couldn't digest that pro-Israel politics was rapidly losing popular purchase.
Which is why you guys have spent the last two years trying to conflate uncommitted a movement of dem primary voters
with any brown voters who defected to Trump in the general, which you could find in a non-white demo,
because dems bled votes with everyone other than white college.
But yeah, I'm glad that I have united all of my enemies.
Nick Fuentes, again, a person who has been, in his own words, victim to lawfare and political
persecution in this country.
He's a neo-Nazi who has claimed that he's actually a Democrat now because he wants to
punish Trump because Trump is a servant of Israel, right?
Nick Fuentes, if Trump wants to win us back, putting us on Piker in prison forever would
be a good start.
Laura Loomer, who is no friend of Nick Fuentes, and also another op of mine,
President Trump can unite the entire country by having a Sampaiker arrested.
It's his destiny.
Bro, what happened to our funk community and now we fight in real politicians?
Yes.
Interesting to see this weird orbit, this weird coalition coming together, anti-Trump neo-Nazis, pro-Trump, pro-Israel Nazis like Laura Loomer,
And the entirety of the the centrist
Commentariat coming together and joining forces to say that the fascist presidents
Insane encroachment on the First Amendment and targeting of political dissidents for doing
Activism for doing humanitarian aid to a country that we're fucking starving and destroying is actually a cause to celebrate
Okay
Interesting. It has been trade. I mean, it has proven something that I have said over and over and over again. Okay.
And that's the final point on this, this aspect, this part of the story, because I'll get to some other Fox News coverage and I'll get to some, some new allies, unlikely allies.
But I will say this, okay, I will say this. Hold on.
Gas.
These people do not have any real political worldview.
Many of these people do not have a vision in the affirmative or even in the negative honestly
for a future American society, a grand design.
They don't care about anything. It's just petty personal grievances. Politics is simply team
support for them. Politics is not about a movement that will better people's lives. Not about
organizing. It's not about fighting some of these cancerous forces that have robbed, not
only directly robbed, regular Americans, but also robbed them of their political voice,
whether it be the disenfranchisement of black voters, or whether it be the groups, elements
like APAC and numerous other corporate lobbies that subvert democracy at every turn. These
people don't want to fight against any of that stuff. They don't care about any of this.
All they care about is feeling like their team is winning, and they've decided that
their team is this increasingly shrinking, factional team of center-right Democrats.
And they will hold on to every bit of power that they have, no matter how silly they come
across to a broader audience.
It's that simple.
That's where we're at now.
They don't have any real worldview beyond I hate the left, beyond I hate Hassan Piker.
That's it.
And you should hate him too.
only that's their north star
on threads celebrating the fascism that trump is placing upon media and
hussan and others who had the nerve to go and try to feed starvin cuban's all
because she's a scientist and she works for israel and i don't know how many
other examples you need and look at how bad she's getting ratio you know
responding to this video because everybody is literally condemning this
video already because people are not playing this identity bullshit no more
we weaponize our identity against people and
The laugh at Donald Trump doing fascist things when it's against people we don't like.
And remember, this comes right after she went up in front of those white donors telling them to vote for and donate money to Wesley Bell over Corey Bush,
an actual fighter for us, and then came online and lied about it.
I'm glad whoever got that video got it, because I found out that it was actually a private fundraiser.
You know the place that Wesley Bell feels safe to go, unlike the public.
Jasmine.
True.
Okay, as ever. We're in a war. Nobody wants groceries, expensive rent, expensive. What
is the federal government going to do about it? They're going to subpoena Hassan Piker
for giving food and medicine to the people of Cuba. That's the fucking war we live in,
man. What a sick and twisted country we live in. Gas is as high as.
Anyway, here are some unlikely allies though.
Mary Lou.
Trump supporter Mary Lou is finally broken off with Donald Trump.
Another testament to the importance of meeting people where they're at and communicating with
them.
Well, trying to at the very least legally threaten, if not at some point outright bring
charges against a son piker how do you feel about that yeah they're not gonna put my boy in a clinker
that's not right okay he's part of our family they're not gonna put him in the clinker
and right there we've got his shirt hailey's got one on yeah repping the son piker we want him to
know that we're backing him. Hell yeah. Why would they? It's not. It's a subpoena. Is it a subpoena?
Why would they do it to him and not those other 600 people? Well, they're going after him and then
the man like pink. Yeah, of code pink. The leader of the group that put it all together. Yeah.
But you're effectively here you are siding with us on piker against Donald Trump
yes yes even though he might have different points and different views I
can still like him and I don't want our son in the clinker new world order
is this even a serious case didn't they find out they fell for a twitter meme or something
no it isn't but it doesn't matter because the fact that they're trying to do this is
serious in and of itself like do you understand?
emotion with moms are crazy. Yeah, I think, um,
suit and ties also working.
Yeah. And Sompiger looks shaken on stream as feds probe Cuba trip.
This is why they're doing it. By the way,
they're trying to create a narrative that I'm like, um, I'm,
I'm terrified. I'm shook and I'm not going to keep doing what I'm fucking doing.
And they're stupid. Okay. They're stupid. They're stupid for this take,
But it hasn't stopped them from fantasizing about this and and believing that this is what's going on
Right. I saw another post from that fucking Norwegian
Magalarper that that is a anime tourist and a video game tourist who like posted my face as homeland or be like
Oh, I'll suck your dick Trump. Please save me. I'll do anything and it's like. Yeah, that's what you would do in that situation
That's what you would fucking do in that situation
So you're hoping that I behave in the same way. Well, it's not going to happen
But it's it's so it's so strange because like this is not even beneficial for any of these people, right?
It's not even beneficial and
They don't get it
They don't understand it like who is this for is the question is it for you?
Is this helpful for you if I go to fuck a prison? No
It's not is it helpful for you that the administration has decided to lock up dissidents at some point
You might find yourself at odds with the administration
Is that a world that you want to live in certainly not a world that I want to live in that's what I'm fighting against
against. This one has the beginning of the Fox interview.
Some of the misconceptions or misnomers about this whole thing
with us on Piker. This is not about speech. It's about his
actions. Can you please read my audience in on exactly what this
is about. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. So, Tommy, this is absolutely not about free speech.
This is not about revolutionary tourism, although there was a lot of that happening. This is
an investigation by an office that most people don't want to ever have crossed their path.
It's called Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control. And what they do is
they make sure that U.S. citizens and companies are not aiding and abetting organizations,
individuals and countries that we've issued sanctions against so a lot of people like the
entire the entire sanctions shit is is unbelievably bunk like I am 100 in opposition to the sanctions
that that the Cuban government has had to withstand I think it's it's ridiculous okay so even on that
front it's fucking ridiculous like these restrictions are idiotic and the government absolutely picks
and chooses. There are certain American companies that are allowed to literally trade with Cuba
to send certain goods to Cuba, shit like that, okay? They pick and choose, but they
mostly enforce it to punish the Cuban population. That's it, right?
What right does the US government have to ban its citizens from visiting certain countries
are dictating to them that various hotel stores, malls, stature, or criminally banned.
And what's the justification for investing us on them in the day of Benjamin, but not
in New Shirley's Cuba trip?
Yeah.
This is the whole point.
The entire machinery is designed to, one, punish the Cuban population.
And then, two, it's something that they've never really done this before, something
that they haven't done in the past.
But I guess it's unbelievably rare, but they're trying to use that as a vehicle to fucking
and punish political dissidents.
Well, I know it, not know it,
but the country of Cuba is run
by the Communist Party of Cuba,
and it is declared enemy of the United States.
And what they are doing is investigating
Hussain Piker to see his financial records,
his communications, his logistics,
and whether he was working and aiding
and abetting the Communist Party of China, of Cuba.
right. Anyway, China. We may find out that that's one in the same. Yeah, exactly. That's
a good slip. But this one is not about speech. This is about his activity. So we'll wait
and see what he's got going on there. Also some issues with the dog caller that I don't
like. Aser and Amani. Thank you so much. They can't even fucking say it too because they're
worried about getting sued. Isn't that funny? Fox News is trying to entertain it, but they
can't like fully say it because random fucking churpers on the internet obviously don't have
that same fear, but there is a level of like editorial control when you are a mainstream
media outlet. So they can't, they can only like point to it. They can't fully lean into
it you know I made sure we had a picture of kaya in our like that's insane bro
this is a fox news sunday program what the fuck do you mean I have literal
fucking stalkers on the payroll dude
leftist I don't really like Stephen Colbert Jimmy Kimmel with the way Trump
Trump is fucking with them as bad liberals, yet Trump go get his son.
Haha, it's true.
That's literally what has happened.
Cover is just because I know there's folks like you, Tommy, that are paying attention
to this dog that that the husband piker has sitting in the back of his live streams for
hours on end.
Bro, your own stalker operation literally destroyed the the fucking meta.
Not only did it prove that it's a fucking vibration collar, but it also proved that she goes on
long walks throughout the goddamn day.
So obviously she's not fucking sitting behind me the whole day.
She's literally outside in the fucking photos.
I know, it doesn't matter.
None of it fucking matters, but Jesus Christ, dude, it is so strange.
Yep.
Well, you know, if there's a...
Anyway, there's more to it.
She went on another show at this time to talk about his communications, his logistics, and
whether he was working and aiding and abetting the Communist Party of China, of Cuba, I said
China.
It's interesting, so a few years ago, there was the tenant, the tenant company scandal
where several conservative influencers were getting paid by a company that was on.
yet that was russia okay and actually wealthy petro capital estate
nothing happened to the people who literally got paid
by russia to do pro russian propaganda
it's so fucking strange dude
The back end getting paid by Russia, but even under a federal investigation, I believe under
the Biden administration, they found that those influencers didn't know.
They didn't know where the money was coming from, so they weren't criminally liable.
But it brought up this idea that foreign agent registration necessity.
Is there specific legislation for-
What is this person saying?
Oh my gosh, he's literally watching the stream.
Oh my god, this psycho is literally watching the fucking stream, dude.
My lord straight up. They got stalkers on the payroll. They have Fox News senior editors
That are just now stop that that are not tasked with stalking my fucking stream. Oh my god
I'm gonna fucking accidentally pee on camera. Here's gonna hear my stream. It's gonna be on Fox News now
It's insane. I
Told you she's always watching a stream before a current job of Fox News investigative reporter who watches on the live streams all day
Osirin Amani's whole shtick was using her Muslim identity as they cover to advocate for surveillance and repression of her community
Some of her previous work
Airport security let's profile Muslims Muslim journalist defense surveillance by NYPD says some Muslims use religion as a cover
Journalist Osirin Amani being interviewed. Oh my god. Oh my god, literally an agent of the state. Oh
Oh, what a psycho.
Registration, in other words, if Hassan Piker took any type of payment for the propaganda,
then he has to register as a foreign agent.
Well, that's another law, but it could apply also in the activities that Hassan Piker's been involved in,
because exactly like you said, there could be that you're violating the sanctions, so that's one set of laws.
And then another one is that you could be doing influence peddling for a foreign nation,
And that's this law where you have to register.
So, you know, I mentioned China and one of the important aspects of this is that there is this
tech tycoon named Neville Roy Singham living in China, who has pumped $285 million into
nonprofits, including one of the nonprofits that has in Piker accompanied called Code Pink.
And the big question on that...
Like it's so funny because I didn't need... I love Code Pink, by the way.
But I didn't even go there with code pig. I went there with progressive international. Okay
So there are numerous groups that were that are part of the planning process, but it's just like fucking so
So stupid to keep stressing the bush. She is as we speak sitting around watching the stream and filming it on her phone boomer style
Yeah, I know I saw I saw I'm sure she's very excited at the fact that I'm
I'm talking about her being on
Pro IDF, of course she's wearing an IOF hoodie here. Oh my god. Of course she's
pro IOF is really occupying forces.
Yeah, these guys should focus on people getting payments from the Israeli state with their
close associations and allegiances to the Israeli state.
Of course, they can't do that.
They would have to, you know, punish their own people quite a bit, you know, I don't
do any of that shit.
believe what I believe. I say what I believe, that's it. And that's part of the reason why they lose their goddamn minds, okay? They lose their goddamn minds, because like, I'm an uncontrollable element, an uncontrollable entity, because I'm not accountable, I don't have a buy-in in this system. Okay, that's it. I don't have any major corporate sponsorships.
So I'm not a controllable entity. And the more the more this movement grows, the more the the the more people come out whenever I go to different places and the more they like promote candidates that I'm promoting.
And the more those guys win and the makeup of the National Democratic Party changes,
the more responsive the Democratic Party becomes to its constituents rather than corporate interests.
The bigger the threat is for them because they are backed by corporations for the most part.
We can never be serious yeah I saw.
I mean, go white boy.
What is this?
For those keeping up, Azra and Amani has argued that Muslims should be profiled at airports,
praised the MIP surveillance of Maas and Muslim-owned businesses that produce zero evidence of anything,
argued the phrase, Insha'Allah, is a code word for Muslim extremism, Insha'Allah, is.
Say Wa-Lah Hebrew is a code word for Muslim extremism and suggested that the Muslim veil
is a form of religious oppression.
These are a few of the many instances of blatant anti-Muslim prejudice on her part to which
Considine, as her new fanboy, is now linked gross. Craig Considine.
She actually has a twitch page? Oh my god.
Militant groups in Pakistan thrive despite crackdown. That's so crazy.
I guess it's cool that like my stalkers are no longer just like weird
They're they're no longer just
What the fuck they're no longer just like
Fucking weirdos that spend all of their time on like subreddits and and discord
Subreddits and discord circles
Right? Like my eye of stock is a fox news. In literal Manhattan is to think tanks do.
He's in here too probably he watches the shroom every day.
Yeah, she's now a subscriber.
She subscribed to you last week. That's insane. Maybe she's a fan.
Alright, questions arises. Trump teases possible Iran deal. Let's get to that now. Okay.
President Trump said an agreement was mostly done, but on Sunday he urged US negotiators
not to rush.
Yeah, she probably subscribed to the Piker Broadcasting Service so she can support independent media,
which you can too by the way, and you should.
Or maybe she subscribed to the Piker Broadcasting Service because she wanted to take advantage
of the amenities such as being able to send me links with no guarantees that I'll click
on them but sending links nonetheless or maybe she wanted to use the emotes all around the
platform or perhaps she wanted to be able to rewind because as she knows as well as all
of you know that the Piker Broadcasting Service is funded entirely by you the people and will
always be for you the people. PBS People's Broadcasting Service, PBS Piker Broadcasting
Service is sponsored entirely by you and your voluntary contribution is the form of a $6
on subscription or a free one in the form of a twitch prime folks remember always
in forever
pikerbark has a service for tomorrow's news today
You are on L0 English are you going to watch it on stream no, or maybe
Ban her and play an ad, no
Anyway, thank you for the gift of subs.
Okay.
Now let's get back to a peace deal that might not actually take place.
In several key issues, including Iran's nuclear program, remain unresolved.
Nicole Killian is at the White House. Nicole, good morning. What more do we know?
Good morning to you, Adriana. President Trump said this weekend that an agreement with Iran
had been largely negotiated, but this morning he says a deal will either be quote a great
and meaningful one or there will be no deal, while Iran's foreign ministry now says no
deal is imminent.
New overnight, Iran is insisting a deal is not close. An Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson
said negotiations are focused only on an end to the war, and they're not currently discussing
nuclear issues. A U.S. official had said Iran would agree in principle to dispose of its
enriched uranium and could receive sanctions relief in return.
We're going to give diplomacy every chance to succeed before we explore the alternatives.
On Sunday, a senior Trump administration official had said a potential deal between the U.S.
and Iran would be a two-step process. First, Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
In exchange, the U.S. would lift its blockade on Iranian ports.
The moves aimed at easing oil and gas prices.
The bottom line is once the streets are open, then the tankers are going to go back.
But senators from both parties said an end to Iran's nuclear program is key to any deal.
Now we're talking about a posture where we may accept the nuclear material remaining in Iran.
How does that make sense at all?
When you're digging a hole, you should stop digging.
That's what this agreement sounds like.
Some lawmakers and Trump allies remain critical, including his former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who said it was not remotely America first.
On Truth Social, the president-
One of the things I'm annoyed by, uh, endlessly with the Democrats here, obviously like I expect the Republicans to be dogs, right?
I expect the Republicans to be slaves to Israel just as Donald Trump is.
This is a moment where Donald Trump has to make a decision. Does he continue being a servile little piggy to Israel and Israeli interests?
Or does he actually re-assert American control over the situation because it's very clearly not beneficial to continue this?
To go up the escalation ladder. Israel is not going to follow us by the way
We're gonna fucking send our troops if we were to militarily invade Iran
But I don't expect the Republican Party to ever, you know, come out and be like, yeah, Trump is doing a good thing here, right?
And Lindsey Graham certainly hasn't said that. And many other Republicans have actually been critical of Trump because they're Israel first.
But even the Democrats who are skeptical of Israel, or at least maintain the position that they're, you know, maintain the outward posture that they're skeptical of Israel,
have actually criticized Trump from a very weird perspective where
They consistently keep handing it to Trump
For engaging Iran militarily while simultaneously saying he fucked it up
Just say it's immoral have a principled stance on this issue. You don't have to hide behind
Procedural votes, you don't have to hide behind the fact that oh Trump, you know, it's good that Trump did these
things, but it's bad how he did it. It's like, no, it's bad that he did these things. Okay? And
you already have an alternative from a fairly popular Democratic leader, Barack Hussein Obama,
who did actually do the opposite of what Donald Trump did here with the JCPOA. That was successful.
You have something to point to for the party's success.
Some of them have started to argue on this point, and that's good.
But we got to see more motion on this front. It's it's ridiculous
Adam Johnson also had a similar take on this with Cory Booker as you know Cory Booker another Israel first Democrat obviously
Even if he's trying to now say oh, well, you know, I don't like a pack
I mean dude you were giving piggyback rides to rabbi shmueli in college. Okay? Yeah, you you had
pics snapped of you
With motherfucking Benjamin Netanyahu and numerous other war criminals
So I don't I don't believe you when you fucking say Bert on Fox guys don't show Fox News Bert
Don't show Fox News coke Bert our mascot coke Bert
They're gonna be like Hassan piker is defending little kitty cats doing cocaine
What is he teaching our children?
No, not Coke Bert. Tylenol Bert only. No, not Zinbert. No. I can't. I'm addicted.
Anyway, this better than the deal of Omelga with Iran? So we have an
artificial briefing but this is what I'm seeing that has me so outraged right now
is the president said he went into this to deal with your nuclear program this
does not deal with that before he became president the first time they had no
highly enriched uranium they had sent it out now they have it because of him
number two is he criticized around who cares anyone who is even remotely well
read on this would not posture about the Iranian nuclear program is a
significant threat, but would recognize as Barack Obama did, even if he were to posture
at times about the Iranian nuclear threat, they recognize that this was just leverage.
Leverage in exchange for sanctions relief.
Okay?
It's that simple.
It's fucking ridiculous.
Just say the truth.
It's not that hard, man.
Just say the fucking truth.
There are some within the IRGC's more militant wing that are non-reformist that want nuclear
arms. The previous Ayatollah, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, issued a法 law against nuclear
armaments. The utilization of the development of nuclear arms. Iran never pursued nuclear
arms. Iran only pursued highly enriched nuclear-grade uranium specifically to get some kind of leverage
to draw America back into the negotiations process and get sanctions relief. Okay, it's
that fucking simple. Also, I think I might go, I think I might take away the jubilee
ban and watch this surrounded because Glenn Greenwald is a fantastic debater. And, you
know, as much as I have had, you know, a lot of back and forth with him, he did a jubilee
surrounded and I assume it was a fucking absolute cooking. This is the format. Glenn is an atom bomb,
okay? He is literally nuclear-grade master debater. Dropping him in a fucking jubilee
surrounded is like Matthew Hassan, but worse. Okay? To this day, regardless of my criticisms of Glenn,
One of the greatest Bill Maher clips of all time, which led to a ban of Glenn Greenwald
from going on Bill Maher's show, is that famous moment where he just straight up says,
who the fuck do you think is radicalizing Muslims?
Do you think it's the Koran or do you think it's us bombing them?
That is one of the best.
That and the Ben Affleck debate, those are the two incredible moments that are trapped
in my memory. I will never forget them. They're so good. Anyway, um, what? Why are you doing
this? Don't you think this is gross to do? Like, oh, what a funny debate. Like in your
mind you think, in your mind you think it's like a good way to try to get me to pay attention
so you can send a clip about like Israel's horrifying violence. Don't we feel like that
betrays the the severity of the cause you're pursuing? Gross, don't do that.
It's also kind of not only is it vile but it's also so cynical.
Yeah, and the video that you sent me literally is a dead child in it too.
It's a terms of service violation that would probably get me banned.
I don't know why you're doing that.
Ben Affleck? The Ben Affleck one was really good too, but here, I'll show you Glenn and
I'll show you Ben Affleck actually here.
And that's a problem big of you, but I think I'm actually well educated on this topic
I'm asking you saying if I criticize the you saying that Islamophobia is not a real thing that if you're critical of something
It's not a real thing when we do it
I'm not denying that certain people are bigoted against Muslims as people that and that's a problem big of you but
The
Gross it's racist. It's not it's but it's so nice. It's like saying so not your shifty Jew
You're not listening to what we are saying. You guys are saying if you want to be liberals believe in liberal principles
Right freedom of speech like you know, we are endowed by our forefathers in the last record
By the way, this is another consistent position that I maintain here and I and I will consistently pursue like
Regardless of all the Jewish institutions of the United States of America almost
Universally saying that they stand with Israel. I know for a fact that no group of people are monolithic
and are primarily victims of propaganda regardless and Jews are obviously one of those groups as well
Which is part of the reason why I talk about the ideology of Zionism
being a malleable thing that is is totally separate from
the the
Entity of the Jewish population, which is why I don't cast
The the entirety of the international Jewry or American Jewry
with the crimes of the Israeli state, even if some of my critics to the left will be like,
who gives a fuck? Just, this is Jewish exceptionalism or whatever. But that's part of the reason,
partially the reason why I don't do that is also because I have experienced a version of this.
Obviously, there's a coordinated effort by both media and also many of these institutions to
foment Islamophobic sentiment in an effort to justify the global war on
terror and and and the the outcome of that has been to say regardless of what
Muslims say and do which you know Jewish Zionists certainly don't do this but
regardless of Muslims saying ISIS is not representative of our values at all
what the fuck are you talking about this is unbelievably racist there is there
There has been, for many, many decades, this conflation between Islam, the entirety of
the Muslim world, and groups like ISIS, groups like Daesh, al-Qaeda, and the like.
This is Islamophobic.
Now, on the other side of this story, and I always use this as an example, it would
be like if Moss were like, no, we love ISIS, like waving the banner of ISIS outside of
their fucking mosques and fundraising for ISIS in general.
If that's something that they were doing, then there would at least be a little bit
more legitimacy to the conversation, but it's not the case, right?
It's obviously not the fucking case.
The problem is, there are Zionist Jews and Jewish institutions that are basically doing
the equivalent of that about Israel at a time when Israel is falling out of fucking favor.
So this foments more anti-Semitism in the country, but I still will maintain a principled
stance because I understand what it's like to be in the crosshairs of this.
The question always is, is this productive?
Is it productive to assume that every Jewish person that you meet is actually unbelievably
pro-Israel, is a Zionist, to the bone, to the core?
I don't think so.
I don't think it's the truth.
And I certainly don't think that all Jewish people are always and forever going to defend
Israel or place Israel as the highest priority or just varying degrees of support that they
show to the nation's state of Israel.
I'm not a creator.
No, Ben, we have to be able to criticize bad ideas.
Of course we do.
No one in the world doesn't want to criticize bad ideas.
But why would...
But the moment is the mother load of bad ideas.
So we have...
This is the fact.
It's not.
No, it is a...
It's an ugly...
A constancy.
It is a basic...
Well, let me unpack it.
It's tolerant.
Let me unpack it.
But not for intolerance.
No, of course not.
But the picture you're painting is to some extent true, but it's hugely incomplete.
It is certainly true that plenty of fanatics and jihadis are Muslim, but the people who are standing up to them, Malala, Muhammad Ali Dadaq in Iran, in prison for nine years, speaking up for Christians.
You know who this guy is?
He's also in the news recently.
Nicholas Kristoff, the number one anti-Semite, according to pro Israeli groups.
There it is, Pulitzer Prize winning, New York Times columnist and reporter Nicholas Kristoff.
A friend that I had in Pakistan who was shot this year, Rashid Rahman, for defending people accused of apostasy.
more than a billion people who are fanatical who don't punch women who just want to go to school.
I don't know why women are not saying a lot of things and you're painting the whole religion
with that. No, no, let's let's get down to who has the right answer here. Anyway, um,
the
does anyone have the Glenn clip because the Glenn one is even better than this this was many many years ago I forget exactly when this is from
eleven years ago I guess or twelve years ago as a matter of fact
We were supporting and popping up Mubarak for 30 years, even as we were cheering for
all the Tahirid Square demonstrators as though we were on their side.
It was our government that kept Mubarak in power, just like we've done across the entire
Muslim world.
And it's amazing for you to say that well look at all these Muslims the minute you give them a little bit of freedom
They go wild and they start being all violent
How can you be a citizen of the United States the country that has
Generated more violence and militarism in the world over the last five or six decades and say look at those people over there
They are incredibly violent
We play a significant role in what has been happening in the Middle East because we've been interfering and dominating that region in order to
Have access to the
I was talking about theocracy. That doesn't happen here.
No, well, okay. That doesn't happen here.
But at the same time, Iran isn't invading lots of other countries and occupying them for a decade, nor are fundamentalist Muslim countries the way the United States is.
So these things are interlinked because we are continuously interfering in that part of the world.
And so to say...
It's all our fault?
It's not all our fault, but when you send your military for six states straight...
Look, look, he gave up. That's Bill Maher giving up to go,
so you're saying it's not all our fault. A deliberate misunderstanding at the point that Glenn is
making. The reality of the matter is the radicalization that takes place, the anti-American
radicalization that takes place in countries in the Middle East, are coming out of a defensive
posture because of the American intervention in this region. The military intervention in this
this region. I can't talk. That's it. Yeah, it is our fault. We have a large share of
the burden here. These people would want nothing to do with us. They could even be our allies
if we just let them exist. But unfortunately, they had oil. So we couldn't just let them
We had to intervene in their affairs. We had to prop up our favorable dictators in many instances.
Decades into other countries to bomb them, kill their children and women and innocent men.
But we weren't going to get any dictators.
Yeah, you take responsibility for your actions and say to the extent that that region that religion goes back a thousand years before our revolution.
Yeah, and there was none of this fucking
Instability in comparison to the rest of the world. There wasn't like like right now
Obviously the Middle East is this less stable than the Western world
Okay, but when Islam was you know when Islam was invented, okay?
Islam
unironically created stability in that region
Instead of warring factions of warlords and pagans fighting one another, Islam sincerely
organized the entire fucking territory, okay?
And not only that, but also there was a golden age of Islam beyond that as well, right?
At a time when there was not such a golden age in the Western world.
So all this stuff is relative.
If you were to attribute the Israel-Palestine conflict to religion and claim that this is
like a thousand-year-old religious battle, you're wrong.
You're ahistorical and you're wrong and you're probably doing propaganda for Israel.
Muslims and Jews lived in relative, and I use the term relative here, relative harmony
in comparison to Jews and Christians living in the western world at the same time frame.
Many Muslim territories were seen as a safe haven, a relative safe haven for Jews escaping
pogroms, the Spanish Inquisition and the like.
It was only after the invention of Israel, in the aftermath of Zionism's success as
a settler colonial enterprise that the instability kicked in.
This also obviously paired up nicely with our reliance on this new resource that we
desperately need oil.
This region is resource rich in oil.
Obviously that also played a role in the American ambition to dominate the region.
There was also an ideological battle that was taking place around the world, the Cold
War, capitalist forces versus communism, and the Western Front, the American Empire, the
pro-capitalists in this regard, were terrified of Pan-Arabic nationalism because Pan-Arabic
nationalism could be seen as sympathetic to communists and the Soviets.
And they used Israel, and Israel was of course very excited at the prospect of being used
in this regard.
They got unlimited weapons and unprecedented access to American politics in exchange for
being a reliable ally, a permanent destabilizing factor in the Middle East in this region,
to constantly squash any sort of revolutionary fervor that the Muslim world had.
And that's how we arrive at the 80 years of conquest, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing.
Yes, before the Americans, it was the British that were also hustling Muslim nations off
their oil, but our reliance on oil grew in that time frame as well.
And so I don't think we could take all the blame.
I don't think we should.
I think we should take a lot of it.
And there's lots of bodies and corpses
that have been piled up in the name of Christianity
and Judaism as well.
Not recently.
Have you heard of the occupation of the West Bank
and Gaza for the last 50 years, motivated in part
by extremist views of Judaism or the wars in Europe
or the fact that there were generals in the United States
saying we have to go and invade and destroy Iraq,
a country of 26 million people because our God is bigger?
Lots of religions, not just Islam, produce violence.
If I could make one quick point about Egypt.
It's only a liberal view that all religions are alike because it makes you feel good.
No, it makes you feel good to say our side is better than the people over there.
What?
Ah, yes, yes, you're obviously right about imperialism, anti-Orientalism, and it is Islamophobia.
At the same time, can we admit that the rise of a chunk of the community, there are reactionary
normalities.
Can we not jerk off about the FATA?
Who's doing that?
You get to ignore the responsibility that your own government has for the violence and
instability in the world by saying, look, it's that primitive religion over there that's
to blame.
Yeah.
There's also obviously a effort here to shed the west of its share of responsibility for
the wholesale slaughter of Jews as well, including the Holocaust, to just say,
hey, guess what? It's the Arabs that are actually anti-Semitic now. Not us.
And Israel obviously loves playing that role as well in the propaganda campaign. Israel loves
getting unlimited support from the West for its ethnic cleansing operations.
So, it's a perfect, harmonious relationship that they have with Islamophobia.
The deal that got rid of their nuclear program, or at least their highly enriched program,
involved getting $50 billion for Iran.
Well, already the president's balance sheet is letting more than $14 billion go through,
that during this conflict he allowed them to sell oil.
And this deal alone, easing of sanctions on Iran, allowing them to get billions of more,
more, the same deal he criticized, he's already doing worse than giving Iran more money as
he has said will allow them to do things like fuel their proxy terrorist proxies.
That's why this war is wrong.
He's got us in a situation that's worse than it was before, a more extreme regime, straight
of her moves now as a leveraging point for them.
This weak nation has put America in a stalemate and Donald Trump is being played as a fool.
Yeah, it's uh be cool if we had an opposition party that could criticize war mongering without demonizing the target of said war
Inflating threats in laying the ground war for future attacks. It's incoherent tedious and draws no meaningful contrast beyond the work competent imperialists
Yeah
The only thing that you should be saying right now is that
Iran has put America on the back foot and there's an important lesson to draw from that conflict which is
is we say no as Democrats, as the opposition party, we say no to endless imperialism.
We say no to a constantly expansive American imperialism, and we want to draw back our
endless military adventures overseas.
This is something that the public demands.
This is something that we are demanding.
No more of this.
It shouldn't take a much smaller middle power to actually put us on the back foot while
you know, while losing so many lives in the process, for us to come to this point to recalculate
what it means to have an American base on foreign soil. And yet, here we are. And yet, even after all
of that, even after all of that, there is still spoilers in this process that want this endless
militarism to continue.
Of course, what I'm referencing is Israel.
US-backed Israeli escalation 11 on a senior US official told Axios, ABC's Al Jazeera
and that the Trump administration supports escalating Israeli military operations against
Hezbollah.
The official claimed Hezbollah ignored repeated requests to stop firing and said Israel will
never be required to passively absorb attacks while blaming Hezbollah entirely for the
current escalation, even as Israel's continued daily massacres during the quote-unquote ceasefire,
in close to 3,211 people since March alone.
The comments came as Israel dramatically intensified attacks across Lebanon.
Lorient today reported Israel carried out E5 Shreks across 36 localities in southern
Lebanon on Sunday alongside drone attacks on at least 25 additional targets and artillery
shelling on 15 villages.
Israeli warplanes broke the sound barrier over Beirut, causing sonic booms across capital
and midfiers of a wider escalation in the city, which has largely been spared since
the quote-unquote ceasefire. Israeli media reported chief of staff A.L. Zemir proposed
striking buildings in Beirut while Channel 14 said Netanyahu and Israel Kautz discussed expanding
attacks deeper into Lebanon, including against residential structures. Bar-right finance minister
Bezal El-Smolschic called for collective punishment against the Lebanese capital, saying,
for every explosive drone, 10 buildings must fall in Beirut.
A lot of Republican senators are actually speaking against Trump's ceasefire plan.
is crazy? Yes. Yes. We have finally found something that breaks away from Trumpism within the Republican
Party and that is being a slave to Israel. Another major Israeli platform admin has changed
their mind about Lebanon. Get the soldiers out of Lebanon. Our soldiers blood is not worth
it. No matter what agreement or nonsense they make behind the scenes, it doesn't matter.
The amount of information recently allowed for publication is crazy and just, just, ducks
at the shooting range.
The soldiers basically don't know what they're doing inside Lebanon.
They arrive just waiting for the next drone to arrive.
I write this with great sorrow.
Israel news from the field, yeah.
It's not great for the Israeli side that they're getting their shit pushed in by FPV drones
by the Hezbollah drone operators as well.
They've seen tremendous gains in that conflict as well.
very quickly learn how to utilize these FPV drones. And we keep seeing footage over and
over again of the drones even striking Israeli batteries like Israeli Iron Dome defense systems too.
So there is also that element as well. Lebanon's National News Agency reported
heavy Israeli strikes on Monday in Tehran, Nabata, including raids near Jabal Amal Hospital and
attacks damaging residential buildings and Ashiah Community Center. Hezbollah on Sunday said it
carried out 28 attacks targeting Israeli military gatherings in occupied Lebanese territory in northern Israel.
The anti-Nitnyao opposition leaders are also saying that the ceasefire is Netanyahu selling out by not continuing the war.
Yes.
So there are forces within the Israeli military that want this to be de-escalated and they want to withdraw from Lebanon.
from Lebanon. There are forces that are obviously full blown in favor of continuing to pummel
Lebanon. Many of the people in the Israeli Knesset and the war cabinet still very much
want to continue the Lebanese conquest. One, because they want territorial expansion,
of course. And the other reason is because they don't want to be restrained by the United
States of America. This would be a devastating blow to Israeli confidence that America for
once would be forced to restrain Israel. They can't have that. That's why I said it's the
most consequential element of the Iranian ceasefire proposal.
Okay. Here is a new take from FDD, which again, pay close attention to what I'm about to read to
you. Foundation for defending democracy, the Israeli cutout, is now saying sanctions relief
is actually a good thing. The regime is desperate for face-saving wins to sell any deal at home.
Watch for Iranian state media to frame restored access to these phones to major U.S. climbdown.
It's not. Here's why. They are now trying to get sanctions relief to bribe the Iranian government
to stop their demands of restraining Israel. And I told you this from the start. If you remember,
I had this conversation with Trude Parsi as well. This is one of the things that I saw,
is one of the things that I saw that I found to be a scary proposition. Will Iran back away from
the major demand that they're making, the most consequential demand that they're making, to
force America to restrain Israel and Lebanon against his beloved law, and just against
Lebanon and the Lebanese territorial expansion initiative.
If Iran backs away from that position, that is a major concession, and it will be unbelievably
consequential for Iran down the line.
These are the proceeds Iran already earned from oil sales in South Korea, 6 billion electricity and gas exports to Iran, 10 billion that the Biden admin moved as a part of a release deal regarding US hostage taken by Iran from inaccessible and less accessible banks accounts into restricted local currency accounts in Oman and Qatar at the request of Iran designated only for humanitarian purchases.
They are now defending the $6 billion Biden unfreezing of assets, by the way, which is really funny.
And the collective total is close to $20 billion, which is again a significant but a dent nonetheless,
less in the larger amount of frozen assets that are just trapped in other banks that
America has a tremendous influence over and tremendous control over to the tune of $100
billion.
Okay.
One to two billion plus from Iraq and Oman, Iraq's unpaid, now way over $10 billion debt
to Iran for natural gas and electricity imports.
US waivers allowed Iraq to convert and route some of the funds restricted to Oman account.
October 7, Biden asked banks to stop releasing funds from these accounts under massive congressional
pressure. Banks were asked to restrict Iran Oman disbursements to the real distinction.
Restoring humanitarian access equals procedural restoration of what already exists before
October 7. These funds were never meant to be permanently frozen. They exist because
the U.S. already determined this trade is non sanctionable. If a deal makes these funds
freely available beyond humanitarian limits, lifting the humanitarian only restriction
entirely. That's a genuine U.S. concession. Yeah, it's you're they're trying to put
lipstick on a pig here and say, oh, like, this isn't a major concession. Yeah, when
Biden did it, you obviously had a very different approach. You didn't say, oh, no,
guys, you don't understand Biden's concession on the $6 billion of assets
that are unfrozen are actually Iranian money anyway, and they deserve to have it.
You didn't say that.
The reason why you're saying that right now is because Iran has tremendous leverage over
America, okay?
And your focus as foundation for defending democracy, which is once again an Israeli
cutout on operating on US soil without being restricted in any way, shape, or form, no
fair violations whatsoever.
The reason why you're saying this is actually fine is because your only concession, the
The only thing that you care about at FDD, very clearly, is not restricting Israel.
That's it.
That's the only thing.
So the fascist...
Oh, my goat is out.
My goat is out with another dark woke video.
We'll watch it later.
So that's where we're at.
And we'll continue along that journey, but let's cover some more.
Trump post-demanding US allies join the Abraham Accords if he strikes an Iran deal.
Yeah, it's, uh...
Hit back.
It isn't even fully negotiated yet, so don't listen to the losers.
The idea that somehow this president, given everything he's already proven, he's...
This is desperate because the post-October 7, um...
Wait, hold on.
One second after send text messages.
cannot do it 83%. So here's the thing, post-October 7, after Israel started its genocidal conquest
over Gaza, okay? When that happened, that destroyed the public normalization initiative
between these arab states these golf states in israel
so the main point of contention between
uh... you know the abraham accords of recipients in israel
was no longer about iran at all is not about iran in any way shape or form as
a matter of fact this was a bulwark against iran right
it was about gaza it was about the palestinians
trump is now trying to change that calculation to
all i'll i'll give you something i'll finally stop israel's uh... conquest over
on this destabilizing the region that's closed the show straight up or moves
if you abide by the ever have a course without adding the palestinian uh...
nationhood
as a a major point of contention here so he's trying to move
he's trying to move chess pieces around on the board here right
because the the
reason why uh... did you see or all the other uh... nations in the ever have a
course
uh... do not want to normalize formally and openly normalize relations with
uh... israel is not because of
fucking israel's destabilizing factor in iran
it was because of palestine
so trump is trying to move that around to say desperately in a final act of
desperation here
all while i'll give you something you are all give you peace with iran this is a
thinly veiled mafia threat trump weaponizing iran's ability to show gcc
states the blackmail tcc's in the joint abraham accords
which trump needs to sell his own capitulation iran if you don't join
the abraham accords will bomb iran and iran destroys you
it's exactly what's going on here
u.s president of the trump posted lengthy statement on his true social app
earlier on the ongoing negotiations most recent statement was sent around
president ross proposition arab leaders on the abraham accords
but the president statements negotiations with iran are still
ongoing in proceeding nicely
trump stated that it should be mandatory that any nation who signs on to a
peace group between the u.s and iran should sign on to a wider reproach
framework between Muslim countries in Israel. The president honed it on Saudi
Arabian Qatar, saying that they should immediately sign such a framework, and if
they do, others will likely follow suit. However, per reporting from Barak Ravidi
yesterday, the president's proposition wasn't met with enthusiasm by Muslim
leaders during a group call yesterday. I wonder why? The leaders, especially those
of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Pakistan who don't have formal diplomatic relations
with Israel, were surprised by Trump's request. There was silence on the line,
And Trump joked and asked if they are still there one of the US officials said
We are so stupid dude I
So like sometimes sometimes I think there's got to be a underlying logic to the way that Trump moves on
These issues and then I'm reminded over and over again that he is literally like a petulant child
Who's just simply throwing shit at a wall to see what stakes this is one of those moments
where it's very obvious that Donald Trump is simply throwing shit at a wall to see what sticks.
Oh, well, let's do the Abraham Accord so I can have a face-saving moment here.
Okay, in order for the Abraham Accords to formalize in the post-October 7 framework,
Palestinian nationhood recognition has to take place.
All roads lead back to restraining Israel and curbing Israel's appetite for more death and destruction.
The sooner the Americans come to term with that reality, the easier things will be.
You have to stop your attack dog. That's it.
And it's funny because once again, once again, the onus is, yeah, no, they will shift the onus back to Israel.
All they have to do is reiterate their own existing positions that they will join the Accords
as long as the Palestinian state on the six seven borders with East Jerusalem is also recognized by Israel as part of it
That's it
These guys are so dumb
Trump has laid the failure of this negotiation at the feet of the Arabs clever. No, it's not it's an
Incredibly stupid thing to do
The deal on the Iranian side can't come to fruition because of Israel's lack of interest in stopping their campaign of
of conquest in Lebanon. The deal on the GCC side is not going to come to fruition because of Israel's
conquest and ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza and in the West Bank. All roads lead back to Israel
and America's reluctance to restrain Israel in any meaningful capacity. How is this hard to contend
with. It's not hard to understand. I have understood it. Many of the individuals in this community
understand it. Many people, even who are not as well-read or as invested in this process,
have understood this reality. And it's so strange that the Trump administration is seemingly the
last holdout here. Perhaps it's because their bags rely on them refusing to understand it.
Israel must be stopped. That's it. That's it. All roads in the Middle East lead back to Israel,
and this is not some anti-Semitic shit, okay? It's just because all roads do legitimately
lead back to Israel because the Trump administration and the post-Boracco Obama universe absolutely
gave the keys to the car, our vehicle of Middle Eastern expansion to Israel, okay? That's it.
Bro, your chat is not well read, says Common Capital's ML, in comparison to the average
American are you fucking insane?
Have you met a normal person?
Have you had a conversation with a normal person recently, Chatters?
I do all the time.
The best you can hope for is that they at least have some kind of scrutiny between the relationship that America has with Israel. That's the best you can hope for, okay?
Beyond that, most people are like, what's an Ayatollah? What's Iran all about? What's that about? Is that a thing? Is that a type of food?
They just see gas prices going up, that's it, and they hate that.
And they understandably attribute that to Trump's failures, because that's what the
average person does.
They're like, well, Trump is president, my gas prices went up, he said gas prices were
going to go down, that's kind of fucked up, fuck this guy.
What he's willing to do is going to somehow agree to a deal that ultimately winds up putting
Iran in a stronger position when it comes to nuclear ambitions is absurd.
That's just not going to happen.
What the president has said, he doesn't want to rush a deal.
He told CBS News that negotiators were getting closer, adding, I will only sign a deal where
we get everything we want.
This morning, Secretary Rubio made it clear that if talks with Iran fail, other options
to end the war could be explored.
Weija.
Nicole, thank you.
Let's bring in CBS News national security contributor Samantha Vinegarad.
is a former assistant secretary for counterterrorism at the Department of Homeland Security.
Sam, good morning. It's great to see you. Good morning, Weijia. So a U.S. official tells CBS
News that a deal is imminent. President Trump says, though, he doesn't want negotiators to rush
into anything. And it feels like we've been in this very place for months now. So where are we?
Well, Weijia, if anyone is waking up this morning with a sense of deja vu, they are not
alone. We are both seemingly on the cusp of a deal really to talk about a deal, an interim
agreement that would open the straight of her moves and really lay out a framework for
negotiations on the thorny issue of Iran's nuclear program.
But at the same time, President Trump and his officials are stating that military operations
could resume if negotiations falls through. So it's unclear where we really are, but
And Rija, having worked on these kinds of high level negotiations for the US government,
including with the Iranians, I do want to emphasize that these ups and downs are not
unusual.
Negotiating with the Iranians is known to be a roller coaster.
The 2015 Iran nuclear deal took 20 months to negotiate and there were a lot of fits
and starts.
So it's not unusual that we see these ups and downs.
It's just unusual it's all playing out so publicly.
And Sam, based on the little information we know so far about this current framework,
some Republicans, including Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, they're already criticizing President
Trump because they say that this looks a lot like the deal that President Obama put together
that the U.S. entered and then, of course, President Trump pulled out of.
So what does the President have to do here to make it look different from that other
deal?
While we don't know not only what President Trump wants from the Iranians this time, we
also don't know what the Iranians will agree to in this round of negotiations.
But if we look back at the 2015 nuclear deal, critics at the time focused on the fact that
that deal only attacked the Iranian nuclear program.
It did not, for example, address Iranians' missile capabilities, which were used to continue
destabilizing the region.
They also focused on the fact that Iran did get certain sanctions relief and access to
foreign-send.
No.
What they mean when they say it continued to destabilize the region is actually the opposite.
It just was a military deterrence for Israel, which was destabilizing the region.
That's it.
It's perfectly reasonable.
lady's 43 what the fuck damn she looks great for 43 holy shit hopefully I look
that good when I'm 43 um anyway
hey Hassan where can we talk to the mod team it's crazy a misunderstanding
happened oh god oh boy
So, yeah, when they say critics of the Iran deal, read that as Israel firsters, okay?
People who place the interests of Israel over the interests of Americans and America, because
that's what it is.
Okay, that's number one.
And number two, when they said, what loud explosions heard around the Strait of Hormuz
far as, and we'll see what that's about. But listen, listen, when they turn around and say,
when they turn around and say, critics of the Iran deal were critical of the Iranian missile
program that this deal did not touch, what they're talking about is a red line that that no one has
the capacity to enforce. What do you mean? Iran is a sovereign nation. They absolutely have a right
to defend themselves. Iran is a sovereign nation. And as a sovereign nation, they have a right to
develop weapons systems, defensive weapons systems. And the idea that they have to restrict their
strike capabilities to like a, the idea that they have to restrict their strike capabilities to,
to, they have to limit their, their strike capabilities to like not be able to reach Israel
It's fucking bunk. It's ridiculous.
Okay?
It's unheard of. It's preposterous. What fucking country would say yes to that?
Tom Barak.
I saw that the Ottoman nation protected the system in Turkey.
Did Erdogan say that he wants to legitimate Trump and even gave it to him?
Is there anything to say about this?
I'm a Tambarak, Tom Yanatürk, and I'm a man.
Vice-Chancellor Smith did a great interview with Iran's Foreign Minister. Yeah, I've heard about this.
I don't think Trump wants a ceasefire going by this post.
Um, thank you for your attention to this matter. Oh, God. I mean, pay no attention to Trump's
post posturing here, right? He posts, he posts all the time and his post increase, uh, the posting
belligerence metric has the opposite impact of what's going on on the ground usually. Okay.
Okay?
When Trump starts posting about how, you know, death and destruction is imminent, that means
that he's on the back foot.
At least that's what we've seen.
But who knows?
was reported near Sirik and Bandar at Jask in southern Iran.
This sounds reportedly came from the Strait of Hormuz.
I mean, I don't know what this means yet.
Let's continue.
That's been frozen abroad.
The critics claimed the regime was using
to continue to wreak havoc.
And they also focused when it came to the limits
that the deal put on Iran's nuclear program,
they focused on the fact that Iran
was allowed to continue a very low level of enrichment
of uranium that could be used for civilian purposes.
So today, those critics probably want to see President Trump get the Iranians to agree to
remove any vestige of its nuclear program, including its civilian nuclear program from
Iran, including its uranium and potentially plutonium enrichment capabilities, its research
and development capabilities, its advanced machinery, and more.
And they probably also want to see the deal include some focus on Iran's missile capabilities
and no sanctions relief.
All right, but Sam, we went from the president saying that the only acceptable terms were
unconditional surrender to now negotiations and diplomacy.
What leverage does the United States actually have to permanently keep the streets open and
to eliminate Iran's nuclear capabilities?
Well, Vlad, there's really two tracks here, and this is where it probably comes back to
President Trump listening to his intelligence community.
One track is military operations.
Certainly the United States has shown that it can continue to target senior Iranian officials
as well as Iranian infrastructure to try to use military might to force the regime to
crumble.
That has not proven successful so far.
So the other tool that the United States has is financial pressure in the form of its military
blockade.
The Iranian regime certainly has a lot of leverage in terms of the economic pressure
it's putting on the United States, as well as a global economy.
Sam Vinegar, thank you so much.
And let me begin by saying this is not about...
Maine Democrat Senate candidate refuses to apologize for deleted social media posts.
Yeah, it's really funny that one of the things...
Graham Platner has many fans, specifically in the state of Maine, which is where he's
supposed to have the fucking fans regardless, right?
Graham Plattner on the internet has many haters. Some of those haters happen to be haters of
mine as well, right? I'm agnostic to Graham Plattner. I think he's a pretty fine communicator
on a lot of the issues that I care about. You know, only time will tell if he is legitimately
a voice against american imperialism
uh... he has made some strides in that endeavor i think he's
communicated about american militarism far better and especially because he has
a position of legitimacy as someone who was a servant of american empire
uh... who directly held the killing machines
but one thing i will say is this
obviously in comparison all the other options is better but
one thing i will say about grand planner is the the
reaction to grand planner
i'll be honest with you
walk like a child think like a book woke
might
and undefeated
method
i don't think the republicans have a way to deal with this matter
okay
the gnazik i thought he became a believer i mean i'm dying i go back and
forth on it
i do think he's uh... one of the better candidates out there even though he
still does have some red flags i
i became more of a
i became more agnostic after the new york times interview
ironically enough
because like his shitpost on reddit
made me more of a believer and then i heard him talk about some of these
issues on the new york times interview
And I felt like he was weak around some of his response, but it's not enough for me to just fucking be like, you know, an anti-gram platner, the weirdo, okay?
It's just not.
The only reason why I say that, the only reason why I say that is because like the questions around like his tattoo and what did he know and all this stuff like he didn't have like a very good, he had a very good response for the average person.
person. He just didn't have a very good response for someone like myself because I'm a lot more...
I'm gonna scrutinize that, you know what I mean? No matter what happens, I'm gonna be a lot more
careful. But it doesn't... Ultimately, it doesn't... It doesn't matter.
Not gonna lie, this is your most bad empanada-like take. I mean, I don't think it's a bad empanada-like
take it all. So, in any case, in any case, all I will say is this. All I will say is this.
I love watching all of the anti-Platin rights, the Republicans, and the fucking
centrist right-wingers, the Israel fursters on both parties in both parties, lose their fucking minds.
and they keep saying over and over again
grand planters and not see and that he's like a look of
that they're talking
they're talking about grand planner being a child murderer like they're they're
literally doing the troop exploder meta
liberals
who have never found imperial congress that they don't salivate over
have now decided all grand planters of fucking military uh... a death merchant
like he's a merchant death why would you ever vote for him it's like do what
you love wars
when the fuck did you decide
that you think every
when the fuck did you decide
that that every member of the u.s. uh... armed forces is a fucking child killer
when did that happen
you don't believe that
you've never said that you're trying to engage in a multifaceted uh... that war
here
to try to disparage this guy
you love when common areas that i'm not the most lethal military of all time i
hated it
you don't like that he
it invokes class consciousness in his commentary
and you don't like that he's anti-israel
and you don't like that he's you know this is certainly more anti-war than the
average democrat is okay
that's what you don't like
it's fucking bullshit
in any case he isn't anti-war at all he is absolutely more anti-war than the
average democrat please stop i know he says he wants to engage means ship
building capabilities to be competitive with china or whatever the fuck and
You're you look at that and you're like well see it proves my it confirms my priors about him
because
Because it this means that he is he's in favor of the war machine not realizing that you know main as a fucking ship building
Industry and that's the only reason why he's saying we should build more fucking ships for his own
Constituency because he's trying to fucking win a goddamn election
He doesn't go beast mode because he doesn't have to appeal to you. He has to appeal to 65-year-old white people in Maine. Okay?
Because the only way that his legitimacy on the issue, the only way that his legitimacy
on the issue withers away is if they hit him with a John Kerry beam.
Okay?
I need you to remember this.
john carrey
actually fucking fought in vietnam right then you get a fuck purple hard
and everything
and all these veterans came out against john carrey because he was critical of
american imperialism
to a degree that the right
uh... immediately passed on
yet even his uh... statement on china was pretty good i mean far better than
than the average person running for Congress.
Our position towards China's.
Yeah, they called him Swiftboat.
They belittled him, they destroyed him.
They destroyed his legitimacy,
fucking Purple Heart veteran,
and they destroyed his conviction and legitimacy
in the field when he was talking about, you know,
American military, like you have to tow a delicate line
When you are engaging in like anti-war statements
Because the the American
Reactionary movement will pounce on it and we'll just say it doesn't matter how many fucking tours you went on you're a bitch
Because you hate America
Yeah, Carrie had backstab Vietnam ads from chuds and veterans to there's plenty of chud veterans you can fucking
Bring up
Are the electoral ramifications the only thing that matters here? Yes
Yeah, it's a it's a fucking Senate race. We'll see we'll see how he operates once
he's in Senate. It's a gamble nonetheless, but I'm looking at his output across the
board and I like some of the things that he's saying and I feel as though maybe
he's a sheltering his you know the full scope of his opinion but I might be
totally wrong on that right? Yeah they're they're now hitting him with the he
attacked a purple heart veteran on Fox Democratic main Senate candidate
grand planner dodged an apology when confronted over a deleted reddit post
where he said a purple heart recipient didn't deserve to live.
That's crazy. That's I did. Wow.
Fox News Digital. I mean, he's a typical he's a typical fucking Marine chud.
It is. It's true.
This is literally how fucking Marines talk amongst themselves.
This is, unironically, Lager Room Talk. Okay, this is literally Lager Room Talk. And it's
very funny because all the stuff that he's saying, all the stuff that he's saying or
has said privately when he didn't realize he was gonna fucking run for Senate and actually
have a shot at flipping a red seat are probably closer to his world view in general. His evolution
is probably much more really also called for a communist already wise foxes not
mentioning it
uh... they have and they will continue to mention it now listen listen
listen i need you to understand something
and you don't understand something
kind of posture from the republican side
against the guy
whose optics look like a fucking chud
a real american hero marine
on ironically hurts the republican movement
okay
that's it
because the average hog that sees this guy
and then see some
pussy ass
uh... republican uh... uh... uh... pussy as like uh... uh... hack a hatchet man
walk up to me like why won't you apologize to the veteran sir
are going to be like now i like this guy who's getting into his fuckin pick up
truck who looks like a god damn lobstermit
uh...
well i look down to the pick up truck
come on man
come on
when a hog sees this
when a hog
sees this interaction
what do you think happens in the lizard brain of the hog
Do you think they find this guy more appealing or do you think they find the annoying journalist
who's behaving in a matter not dissimilar to like a fucking liberal journalist attacking
a Republican, the image that they've seen over and over again, trying to foment a decency
politics?
You can't be indecent and wear it on your sleeve, which is what the Republican reactionary
movement is done for a decade to genuine success and then turn around and be like, oh, well,
where is the decency, sir?
You can't do that.
You can't fucking do that, especially when the guy you're trying to do that to looks
like one of your own.
This is a new media environment that you created where the permission structure has expanded.
You can't try to lean in, because now it's no longer a race between Democrat versus Democrat.
It's a race between Republicans versus Democrats.
So the most Democrats are going to be like, I don't give a shit, I'll vote for a ham sandwich
over a Republican.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Really?
We're going to unseed a Republican.
That's a major W. We're getting in there.
So now, if you're trying to tackle the independence or the people who are in the center, you can't
engage in and uh... you know that decency politics like what about the
optics sir
especially when the optics
absolutely fucking favor the guy
with the fattest mustache you've ever seen
who looks like a fucking chud
the post about the Purple Heart veteran. If you think you need to apologize to him.
Like, look at him. I'm putting my local LeCroy style seltzer beverages in the back of my
pickup truck. That's dusty as fuck. Hold on. Oh, you guys don't give me a moment of respite.
it. What's what liberal arts college you graduate from pussy? What happened? What liberal arts
college you graduate from huh? Get the fuck out of here Toyota Tundra though doesn't
drive American know that gives them more fucking legitimacy are you kidding me hogs don't
play around about their trucks they have no fucking loyalty to Ford like that they just
get the Ford's because they're the least costly alternative, but they respect Toyota Tundras.
What's the matter? Can't take a joke? Is that what they taught you in Oberlin? Huh? Pussy?
What you would say to voters who might be upset by it?
See, even the Hogg reporter has no response.
See, a better, see, this is, because they're not, they're not experienced in being woke
libtards.
That's the thing, because they're hitting him with a libtard angle, right?
They're like, um, excuse me, why won't you apologize for this?
I'm, I'm, I'm, this post you posted, I don't like your post.
Um, why don't you apologize?
A real one would say, well, do you think your friends deserve to get shot in the same manner
that you, God, why am I giving them pointers?
Do you would you speak with your friends in the same manner would you say that your friends deserve to get shot and wounded?
in and
Well, they were getting their purple hearts in the same way that you said about this other guy is what?
You would say if you are actually truly libtarded, okay?
you're not
You don't know you don't know how to be a
proper libtard
Admit you were wrong about truck brands though. No, I think hogs respect Toyota tundras. What do you mean?
They don't care. This is a real fucking machine for a real working man. The fuck are you talking about?
They are literally watching stop giving them pointers
You know, it's really funny would be interested to find out if his parents bought that Toyota tundra for him
So that's the other thing. Okay guys
Guys optics matter to lizard brain people, okay?
Grand Platinum's optics are so
Unbelievably solid as long as he's never on the back foot as long as he's attacking attacking attacking. He's set
He said to a comfortable victory, okay?
Optics matter so much that people think Ted Cruz has a more working-class
class background because he put snakeskin fucking boots on a big belt buckle
and says I love Texas okay then fucking alexandra ocasio Cortez the goddamn
bartender before she became a congressional representative hogs love optics
if you're white and you wear the boots and you wear the belt buckle they go
yeah right that's one of mine they don't look at they don't look at a canadian
Cuban that graduated from fucking Harvard who has spent his entire life defending
corporations as anything but a real-ass working-class individual because he has
the optics. Okay?
V8 Tundras have like a call life on their widely considered one of the last
great work trucks. Yeah. And it's the tundras are silly for the record. It's the Toyotas.
It's Toyotas ambitions into eating away at the Ford market share. The tundra should not exist.
I'll be honest. It's disgusting. It's nasty, but all the fucking hogs love that shit for the very
same reasons why I think it's an unnecessarily large vehicle. Okay. If we're having a real
conversation, the highlights clears. Unfortunately, in the United States of America, though,
All of the fucking pickup trucks all the work trucks are far larger than they're supposed to be
You're wrong
It's too big it's straight up too big too fucking big
Shut your coast to last up libtard tundra's are great. I mean they're great in comparison to 250 or 150 but
still
Anyway, and they're reliable. I'm just saying that uh, they Toyota made those specifically for the American uh, market
They don't they don't need to be that big
They're just making it
They're making it so that
Uh, so that americans buy it and they do and they love it. All right
What about the Tacomas look at the size of the Tacoma
over the last two decades or over the last decade and you will understand my gripe with both the
Hilux and also are not the Hilux sorry of the Tacoma and the Tundra. They have grown so much
in size to compete with the American cafe standard violating work trucks that have also grown in size.
you should have bought this oh my god this is the dream truck
what the fuck new live at uh bring in trailer auctions 1996 Toyota Hilux SSR crew cab turbo
diesel oh my fucking god oh my god i need this
Yeah, you want to see the size comparison?
Anyway, Ryan Grimm says, Republican political consultants think there's no way that a guy
who did a decade plus the military and four combators deserves or can afford a decent
truck.
I guess nice trucks or reserve for political consultants paid for giving extremely bad
political advice.
Am I the only one irritated he's getting harassed on a moral day weekend?
Like what the fuck?
See?
That's the other thing.
See?
Walk like a chud.
Think like a woke.
been fucking defeated. Alright, now let's look at the Fox News Charpers that are basically
repeating the same exact bullshit that you're hearing from the Israel first Democrats who
hate Graham Platner as well.
Bernie, it's not even about Troy or Graham, it is about every person in this room.
Of course, I can't do what has to be done, Graham can't do it, Troy can't do it.
The only way we're going to bring about the changes that this country needs is when all
of us stand together and fight back.
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders sitting the campaign trail with Graham Plattner.
one day after Fox News digital caught up with the controversial main Senate
candidate to ask if he had any regrets for appearing to slam a purple heart
recipient online saying the wounded soldier was quote dumb and didn't
deserve to live Caroline Ellis from right here in the Big Apple Caroline yeah
Kevin well this is a US Senate candidate up in the polls and projected to win in
November but he's facing a lot of backlash from past comments he made on
on his now infamous Reddit account.
So by now, we've heard about the Nazi tattoo
and what he said he likes to do in a porta potty,
but in the latest comment and getting attention,
he said this about a US soldier.
He called him dumb and then I can't say the rest of that
on TV and he also went on to say
that the soldier did not deserve to live.
This comment was apparently made about Ted Daniels
who was shot by the Taliban four times
and then later honored as a Purple Heart recipient.
Over the weekend, Fox News Digital asked Platner if he felt he should apologize for those comments
and here's what he had to say.
I did four tours in the inventory.
Any attempt to say that I disrespect plat trees is slanderous and offensive.
Do you think you owe him an apology?
I think he should have ended it there.
He said, I did four tours in the inventory, brother, and then slammed the door on his
face and then moved on.
You know?
Do you know how many of my friends are purple hearts?
Do you know how many of my friends got wounded?
Plattner, who served as a Marine and Army veteran, has admitted to owning that Reddit
account PeeHussell, and he has apologized for some past comments, including calling
White.
I mean, he's trying to clean up his act, but his potty mouth doesn't help, but he looks
better says, my mom, see, it's working, okay?
It's working.
Don't worry.
figure out how not to curse. Oh my god, I'm gonna be undefeated. I'm gonna be undefeated.
rural Americans racist and stupid. partner has said these past comments are tied to his
PTSD from his time in the military and on top of that, he reportedly said he was drunk
when he posted. Kevin Caroline. Thank you so much. We appreciate that. And thank you.
spring in Washington Times editor at large Alex Sawyer Alex thank you for
being here before we get started here I want to play something that our own
Joey Jones said last night in response to what Graham Platner said to Fox News
Digital take a listen. A lot of frustration and a lot of dark, crass
humor that we use to get through a rough time. What's also necessary is
discernment. Knowing where to say it. And when you're called out for it because you're so stupid
that you put this stuff out on social media, then you better stand your toe on the line
and answer for it. And don't hide behind the purple hearts of your veterans or the deployments that
you had the honor to.
Seem kind of emotional, buddy. Kind of feels like it's a,
this is a vet versus vet violence that's taking place here.
Go on.
So, I mean, he had a lot to say, too.
It's worth watching.
You know, Grant Flatter right now is leading soon Collins in Maine.
And you can see the response that comes from the things he's said,
but it doesn't seem to be moving the needle.
No, but I don't trust the main polls.
I think it's very, very important to remind people out there that Susan Collins was down
in polls, the same percentage points, I think anywhere from four points to seven points
in 2020 when it was, I think, Sarah Gideon that was getting all the coverage.
So I'm hesitant to buy into these poll numbers at all coming out of Maine.
In terms of what Joey Jones said, I think it was very similar to what we've heard from,
I think it was Rob O'Neill, others who have come forward and said, there's no excuse for
these types of comments, blaming PTSD as a crop out.
There was one response that maybe veterans say things like this because they're jealous
of their own service, wasn't getting the coverage that others did.
I'm not sure if that's really what's at play here or if Platner is trying to get some
press for his own military benefits.
Because the state of it Maine, it's one of the top six, I think it is, for veterans voting
adults i think it's like six to ten percent of the voting population is yeah okay one's
a vet the other is susan collins who are they gonna vote for you think oh it's so good
it's so fucking good oh god i i'm sorry i just i don't want to glow because the republicans
are vicious and i'm sure they'll pull out all the stops and this is what they've been
trying and it's really funny because like all of this was already tested and
fell short in the democratic party the democratic party's primaries where it
would have been probably more successful i think republicans are no no stranger
to hypocritical arguments they love making it right they love hitting the
oh you're not woke how dare you arguments all the time they do it to me
Certainly with regular frequency, but the only people that actually care about that shit are rarely ever Republicans
It's Democrats and he already fucking won the Democrats. So you're cooked
You're your Trump supporters you love when someone is saying fucking
Awful shit if Trump was on this ticket, I could totally see Trump the grand platiner voters up and down that goddamn ballot
military veterans. So, it's a key demographic that they're going to try to go after. Additionally,
you know, I think so is women. That's something that we've seen Collins, even though she is
a woman, pulling behind him with. So, you know, I think that the more money that she
can do on ads portraying these two comments to one, I think he made about sexual assault
victims, basically suggesting they need to take some blame. And then, of course, what
we're talking about right now with his military comments, two key demographics that Collins
could target in all the millions that she's putting out there in ads in Maine, I think
would play to her benefit.
Yeah, we haven't really seen a lot of Democrats out there responding.
This seems to be making them very uncomfortable, giving them a lot of heartburn on this, but
why wouldn't they come forward and say some of this actually is very offensive?
They absolutely should, and I believe they're-
The problem is that Kerry was an upper class weenie, and the right wing in America is
stabbed in the back narrative.
It has a stab in the back narrative over Vietnam.
The same narrative doesn't work on the war on terror vets.
Everyone thinks that war was stupid.
Also, infantry vets are salty and insult other MOs all the time.
That just makes them look more authentic.
I agree.
But I think optics is what matters the most.
Like you said, Kerry was an upper class weenie.
Grand Platinum is not.
And they're trying to present him as an upper class weenie all the time for that
same reason.
They're like, Oh, well, his parents are rich.
His parents are wealthy.
None of it fucking matters though, because he doesn't look the part.
He looks like the kind of guy who would say slurs
Carrie always looked like the kind of guy who would get mad at you if you said slurs to the average voter
They like him for that reason. They're like, oh hell yeah, this guy's like they find that juxtaposition of
Look like a chud think like a walk to be
catnip
They love that shit
getting behind there, her more so than what we see with Platner. But nonetheless, they're all
clashing together despite these horrendous comments. And he keeps coming to the point that he said-
I think his R word apology did more harm than him actually saying it. Well, he was running the
Democratic Party primary at that point. So we had the, that's the only constituency that may or may
not care about that. But I think his like apologies for his, you know, past mistakes and his like
past statements actually played well because it really hammed up the idea that like this
is a guy who's like seeking accountability. My policy is don't fucking apologize for anything
in this new media environment. Only do it if you genuinely feel like, only do it if you're
doing it for yourself. If I was a political consultant, okay, which I'm not, I would literally
Always tell the candidates never apologize double down who cares it literally doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. No one cares. I
Do it all the fucking time and let me tell you as someone who apologized all the goddamn time people don't give a shit
Okay, they do not give a fuck at all. They do not give a fuck about that at all
Things you know back
Years and years ago on social media, but those who continue to haunt him
It's going to be up to the voters in Maine to decide whether or not they support such
Vulgarity and we'll have to see what happens come November
But you know Susan Collins like I said in the beginning she was down in 2020 polls
Her favorability rating is now just about the same as it was in 2020. She served in the Senate for almost 30 years
I do not count her out. I think the voters will come to her defense. I do not count her out is
An incredible admission that she's cooked by the way
Because if she was obviously coasting and was in comfortable territory, you know, 10 points over
Graham Platner, then it would be fantastic. It wouldn't even need to be having this conversation.
You'd be like, oh, this guy sucks. Yeah, my neighbor voted for Trump three times and a big Trump flag.
Now he hates him for starting wars, defeating Thomas Massey and shunning Margie Taylor Greene.
He thought Platner was a commie, but started watching videos of his features.
It was like, this guy's for the people. He asked me for a sign.
Republic is running around being like, I can't believe a political candidate would be so vulgar is fucking hilarious to me
I will never get over that. Donald Trump is your president. Donald Trump is the president
He is the guy who invented
vulgarity at the bully pulpit
Every other former president no matter how vulgar they might have been behind closed doors
Never entertained saying such vulgar shit on the main stage
Donald Trump destroyed that
Okay, Donald Trump destroyed that he literally came out and was like nope. I
Love saying mean things
Mexicans are rapists, but some of them are very fine people like that was the whole shtick people love that
Yeah, Alex. I have a little time left. This this whole thing has got me wondering about how much
If they can get rid of Massey, they will find a way to counter Platinum's optics eventually.
No, you want to know why? Because he's running as a Democrat.
See, this is where the de-association as opposed to the R1 actually fucking works.
It's very clear in the aftermath of the Thomas Massey primary that if you want a anti-Israel candidate, you have to run as a Democrat.
There is no viability for you in the Republican party. They will destroy you. They will do everything they can. Trump will come after you.
He's the most popular Republican. He is the leader of the party. It's not even a Kentucky versus Maine thing. I'm telling you right now.
Trump has tremendous influence over his own party's primaries. That much is clear.
Republicans do not have any opportunity to be anti-Israel Republicans for the time being until maybe they age out
Democrats have a peck money to they just don't have much influence in man. No, no, no, we're talking about the base
The base the base of support the voters
there aren't
there are not
Republican Party voters that will go for an anti-Israel candidate, especially if they're receiving a barrage of
Trump
endorsements to the opposition
Whereas even in spite of all the fucking APEC messaging
There are still insurgent candidates that are winning every single candidate that has run so far that has won as an insurgent
Got inundated with APEC subsidiary groups
And they still won because the base in spite of all of that still goes. Yeah, this guy's anti-israel. I like him
Whereas no such appetite currently exists for the republican party
Uh, and it's uh, there is a generational breakdown, of course
There's a generational breakdown when you look at the cross tabs where uh, republicans under the age of 55 57 percent of them have a
of a disapproving opinion of Israel, that's a huge generational shift, but that will take
many years to to change the Republican Party's attitude towards Israel as opposed to the Democrats
who are already there, it's 90-10, it's fucking over, you know?
Their care about online stuff, some of this be-
Yeah, Corey Bush and Jamal Bowman happened in 2024.
2024, Chatters, 2024.
We're living in 2026.
Think about the approval ratings for the broader population, the approval ratings for Israel
in the Democratic Party, and how much that has shifted overall.
It's a fucking, might as well be a lifetime ago.
Behavior.
The GOP has its own heartburn with its own candidates and a lot of races as well.
And a lot of times what we see is voters saying we want change, we want on the GOP side, someone
who's going to support the president.
On the left, it's we want change, we want something different.
Does any of this even stick to a lot of voters when they decide who they're going to pull
for?
You know, I think it's a very interesting question.
One of the things that I noted in my coverage of the New York City mayoral race was that
lot of comments that had been haunting, I think it's Mandani's wife recently, weren't
even covered during the election.
So it's interesting now that we do have with this main race that at least these were spotted
before voters go to the polls to let them make their decision.
I don't know if we've seen any candidate, to be honest, that's put things out on social
media with stands such scrutiny as we've seen with President Trump.
His voters are with him pretty much no matter what he's put out there.
I do think that voters can be forgiving
when comments are from years ago,
when they're from someone, when they were in their 20s.
I think that they might take it with a grain of salt.
Although I did note, you know,
those two key demographics in Maine,
the military voters, about 10%, female voters,
those are ones that you're gonna see
Susan Collins targeting.
And, you know, right now she's down with females.
And so we'll have to see what happens,
especially if she can play up some of his comments
about sexual assault victims.
Yeah, okay, we will continue to watch.
Alex Warrior, good to see you, thank you.
Kevin, be sure to like and subscribe for all the Fox News latest on
this Memorial Day weekend as the nation honored America's never widow fires back
a damn candidate cowardly. Oh, this was beast mode. 100% in support of what
Graham Plattner has said here. This is not even one of those where it's like,
Oh, wow, I can't believe he said that. Yeah, he was like Chris Kyle's lied
about his record it's one hundred percent true
uh... i'm sorry jesse ventura did that and he was a fucking god damn governor
okay
uh...
it's true
and we should reward people for saying the truth instead of trying to
fucking punish them how about that
all know chris kyle the unbelievably races
psycho
who literally lied about some of the most insane shit of all time like
he lied about
being shipped off
to louisiana
to shoot at random black people
during katrina and sniping them off the rooftop of the uh... the stadium there
that would have
not only is your lawyer was also fucking insane with his lies you know
ridiculous
there's the men and women who gave their lives in service to this country
yeah i i i i was stealing valor but he was also stealing war criminal valor
which is crazy, the Super Dome, yeah.
Vice-carried by Gold Star families across America.
We want to welcome military family advocate,
Taya Kyle, the founder of the Taya and Chris Kyle Foundation
and widow of US Navy SEAL, Chris Kyle.
Taya, thank you so much for being with us.
On this Memorial Day weekend, I just want to ask,
what message do you have for Gold Star families?
What gives you hope about the nation that Chris fought for?
Yeah, I think that there's always hope,
because I think that the pendulum always swings.
I mean, sometimes when we see things they're not going well, we get in a panic state, but
I believe that the American people will always correct because it pushes too far.
And then we start to come back to center.
That's my hope anyway.
You know, your, your husband has been in the news lately, your late husband after main
Senate candidate Graham Platner suggested that he in his role as a legendary American
and sniper shot innocent civilians in Iraq
to inflate his kill numbers.
This is what Graham Plattner said.
His story is about how many people he was shooting,
certainly tracked with the behavior we eyewitnessed
and people I knew witnessed down at the Gov Center,
which is it's relatively easy to get high numbers like that
if you're a little less discriminating,
your fire than say a more professional unit would be.
What went through your mind when you heard this?
Oh, I mean to me it's just like nothing says I want attention more than disparaging a national hero who's also dead.
It's just, it's transparent, it's cowardly, it's low brow to lie about somebody else, right?
And it just...
I personally think it's low brow that Chris Kyle lied about fucking murdering American civilians in the midst of a goddamn catastrophe like Katrina.
But what the fuck do I know? I'm just a woke right tracks from what you've probably said and in this case
I think some things that he has said
And it's this cheap political trick to say, you know, I haven't done a whole lot
So let me attach my name to somebody who's beloved and if nothing else
I'll get out in the news and that's working for him to get that notoriety
But to me it shows a total inability to lead with character. So for me, he would be out of the running immediately
immediately. He's also given some inconsistent statements about his own military service.
He said in 2020 on Reddit that he joined the Marines because he, quote, wanted to have
an adventure and kill some people. More recently, he blamed Susan Collins for sending him to
Iraq via a vote. You know, Memorial Day weekend is already difficult for Gold Star families.
you see commentary like yeah by the way that is literally the most normal take
perhaps the most consistent marine take of all time it's inconsistent for sure it doesn't make
any sense but that's literally the most vet dumbassery of all time what are we talking about
It's classic.
Yeah, why are you guys attacking a veteran?
Hmm, I'm mad.
What is this?
What is Donna's album of the decade saying?
Poofed.
Poofed.
I don't believe half these posts that say this is not gonna lie. That's from what?
It's from like 20 minutes ago. Why are you linking his take?
They're talking about this clip these guys were I left that deployment and
and continued on with my life, did a few more deployments,
booked in the Marine Corps and the Army.
It wasn't until somebody told me to read Chris Kyle's book,
his stories about how many people he was shooting, certainly tracked with the behavior
we witnessed and people I knew witnessed out at the Gov Center, which is it's
relatively easy to get high numbers like that if you're a little less discriminating,
your fire, let's say, more.
Yeah, I mean he's saying Chris Caw was shooting as civilians. It's true objectively true
Yeah, get mad all you want
It's just the correct take a
Professional unit would be so I
I, uh, that's when I kind of learned about task unit bruiser, about Chris Kyle.
And then it wasn't until many years later that if someone recommended, uh,
like a podcast book to me and I put that together and it was like, you've got to be
kidding me.
I almost felt like there was like a, like a weird practical joke being played on
me by the war that like all the, all these years later, I'm like having to like
people are telling me like, Oh, look how great this.
Did you do you think people even like or remember Chris Kyle? Yes, they do. I mean, there was a fucking movie about his life that also, you know, whitewashed his record and whatnot, but, but yeah, ultimately, ultimately, everything he's saying is correct.
This guy is these guys are amazing heroes. It's all incredible thing to be the paradigm of leadership
And I'm just sitting there like am I living in like an ultimate reality because this is this is this is the exact opposite
of my of my experience by the way, there's also this like weird
This weird concept of like like a monolithic veteran
Idea this monolithic veteran ideal or they all venerate Chris collar whatever Jesse Ventura is another
guy who also famously Navy SEAL famously shit on Chris Kyle for good
reason Chris Kyle lied about like beating his ass in his book and and he
had issues with that and he fucking sued this lady the widow of Chris Kyle
well not the the lady but like insurance protected obviously her her money but
ultimately he sued and won
And also the idea that like all veterans are chuds across the board and they just like love
Everything that they did and they they can never become like
Antipyros is wrong
Yeah, he sued the estate and he fucking won and and he was uncompromising unyielding venture is a line for that
Jesse venture is a lion for many reasons this from a public figure someone who who wants to go into elected office
office. Does it make it?
Oh, are we having this argument again? No, not even.
We're not having this argument again. This is something that I fundamentally believe
that I've always fucking defended over and over again. And every now and then there's
a new contingency of people who are, you know, troop-exploder edgy. Leftist, like, ooh, I'm
I'm so radical, I'm so edgy, that take away, like, that have an understandable moral position
about American militarism, American imperialism that I agree with, okay?
But then we'll attribute all of that to the individuals across the board without factoring
in social conditioning or people's capacity to change.
It's fucking annoying, and I don't like it.
I don't play that game at all.
I feel like everyone can be socially rehabilitated and he has even fucking war criminals can do so, okay?
Stop using radical as a pejorative. I mean, I'm a radical the fuck do you mean stop using radical as a pejorative?
Anyway, we can't be doing that right now. I'm under a tremendous
Attack from some of the most reactionary forces in this country. Okay harder
Yeah, and you know, I think my family and I, my kids and I, we'd love to get on your
end and say it doesn't matter when people say things like that and we're over it.
And we understand that it's just these cheap political tricks, but the truth is it does
hurt.
You know, my kids are 21 and 20, they're grown adults, and I wish I could tell you that it
doesn't hurt, but it does.
I mean, if they have developed conscience, developed conscience at the age of 21, 23,
they probably should be a little bit more offended about what their dad was literally
saying. I'm sure that they don't feel that way. But like, I'm sorry, lying about murdering
civilians on US soil that are going through one of the worst fucking natural disasters
of all time is kind of a red line for me. Okay, this is beyond all of the sniping incidents
that he had when he was deployed. It's clear that he wasn't the best guy, okay? Sorry.
And something like this, where it's so obvious to us that he didn't know him, that he's
making things up, that it is the polar opposite of what Chris said and did, it's, it cheapens
it. I can't imagine anyone voting for somebody like that. I feel like it's so obvious and
you would hope that people do their research and things see things that he
said online
is there any evidence you did that i generally don't know that he didn't
actually do it he just lied about it
no
the government did not send chris kyle to go snipe black people during
katrina off the top of the super dome
he just chose to lie about that which to me implies
you're not exactly the best guy around okay
I just want to end with this. What do you want Americans to understand broadly about the sacrifices that military families make this Memorial Day weekend?
For the record, some people did do that. That's legit. Some people actually did do that. It was just Chris Kyle didn't do that off the top of the Superdome.
That's the other side of the story.
That kind of like heinous crime did actually take place during Katrina.
It just wasn't Chris Kyle being dropshipped into New Orleans so he could fucking shoot
people off the Superdome.
He didn't do that.
It was the local police that did it.
Numbers recently and 7,000 military members have died in combat since 9-11.
30,000 have died by suicide.
And half of those are intimate partner relationship problems are in the mix.
I'm not blaming the marriage, but I know that the marriage needs to be served.
And so our answer is the Tay and Chris Foundation where we serve those military marriages.
And it's our answer to remember the sacrifice while and prevent more sacrifice.
Right out of nowhere, we get a story.
Screamer young streamer, very talented, very capable, good communicator knows how to rally
the youth, but not necessarily towards the positive, eventually.
Oh my god. Patrick met David is talking about me and he said nice things. Oh my god. I am sat.
I am valued tamed. Oh, I'm a numbers guy. Vinny, I'm a numbers guy. I'm going to fucking grok it.
I'm going to chat to you. You already know I'm a numbers guy. Wow. Welcome back everybody to the
the Patrick bed David podcast. This is puberty podcast. Our hope you are value 10 today. I'm
blushing a little bit. I'm Patrick bed David. Oh my God. We're both numbers guys. Wow. Wow.
What a fucking incredible introduction. First 11 minutes and I'm, I'm smitten. He fucking
grogged it. He chats if you did it. If he grogged me by the way, amidst this 25 minute
piece of commentary that i will cherish i hold very near and dear to my heart
uh... of forever most likely
if you check with these are all die
this is what happened in the streamer let me just read the story of the
american to what pages this one on all the news on to the biker
uh... that's page thirteen
let me go to page thirteen
so
he's not getting indicted that the fb i came knocking right is that what happened
here
no, yeah, federal subpoena, son piker, uh, media, Benjamin over Cuba trips, subpoena,
political stream of son piker and the code pink co founder, media, Benjamin as part of
the broader investigation.
And here American activists violated the U S sanctions law while supporting Cuban communist
government, the treasury department, office of foreign assets control, request of financial
logistical and communication records tied to March.
They have not done this.
By the way, I have not received a subpoena.
So the article is actually wrong.
I don't know why they're saying that this is taking place.
It's a weird part of this story.
And from what I understand, Medea has not received a subpoena either.
Prips to Cuba organized through the New Extra American Convoy, a coalition communist...
It can happen.
I'm just saying that it has not.
activists, influencers, and community organizations
that deliver supplies to Cuba's ruling Communist Party.
The investigation reportedly involves as many
as 40 American citizens in forms of a larger
federal effort targeting foreign influence operations
tied to extremist movements, political violence,
and organizations accused of promoting
anti-U.S. narratives, Fox News, digital businessmen,
Roy Singham allegedly funneled hundreds of millions
of dollars into nonprofits promoting pro-China,
Procube, an anti-American activism, Code Pink reportedly received more than a million dollars
after Singham, from Singham after his marriage to co-founder Jody Evans, organizations tied
to convoy, Democratic, Socialist America, the People's Forum, and the Venice Serum Brigade
authorities invested in Cuban focus on sanctions violations.
So anyways, Vinnie, how big of a deal is this?
Well, I mean, and again, we have to wait to see everything, but it just, like, the first
The first thing that hit my head was like, can you imagine being a wannabe hardcore Marxist
revolutionary and Hassan Piker, you're Shay Quavera, who's constantly bashing America,
constantly crapping on capitalism, talking about imperialism, privilege, oppression,
all that.
How horrible this country is, meanwhile, he's a multimillionaire celebrity inside the very
system that he claims to hate.
And the second path, the second, the federal government, applies a little bit of pressure.
already read. We're two minutes in. He's 10 seconds into his commentary and he's already turned red.
Why does Vinny hate me so much? I have yet, oh, it's because he's a fail-to-sure. That's right.
That was what it was. How did he start off mad? Yeah, he's like, why are we even talking about
this piece of shit? I'm not even there and he's fucking still butt mad. How Vinny?
He called you hardcore. He called you a celebrity. Yeah, we'll take those we'll take those
Look at his neck veins, bro
Vinnie's worried that if Patrick bed David ever meets me in person, it's over for him Patrick is gonna be like Vinnie
I'm sorry, but this guy this guy
Hassan Abbey this guy. He's he's just too good. We got it. We got to switch him over. We got to swap him
We got a chat. You can see it. We got a rocket. I'm a numbers guy, Vinny. And I think it's clear
he's doing a better job. He's going to take your seat.
He's a numbers guy. I'm a numbers guy is too good to be true.
He wears a suit. Where is your suit Vinny?
He shows his true colors and you know what it is? He ain't about that life.
I don't know where they're getting this from like
Like what I'm concerned for the future of this country not even just about myself
Obviously, I'm also concerned about myself, but like more so concerned for the future of this country that this administration
Is actively targeting political dissidents with bullshit?
Like yeah
It's it's a pretty significant escalation from the government
Am I not supposed to voice my concern about this?
Like, the way that these guys have concocted their own universe of, of, he's like terrified.
It's like, am I, I mean, I'm still doing the things that I was doing yesterday and the
day prior.
It's not like I shy away from criticizing the federal government, criticizing Trump.
I'm not like, oh my God, Mr. President, I love you so much.
Please don't do this to me.
i've jokingly said that
it just doesn't make any sense that they're like all he seems uh...
he's he's terrified he's he's scared he's uh...
you know reduced himself
live anymore a little bit of by the way a little bit of pressure
bitch it's the federal government
of the united states of america what do you mean a little bit of pressure
It's the most powerful country on the fucking planet.
What are we talking about?
A little bit of pressure.
You wanna play that part of him?
He's like, look how shook he has got.
And I'm not gonna lie to you guys.
It's not great.
Oh no.
The news is not great.
Yeah. Okay.
Okay.
I mean, it's bullshit.
Oh, of course. Of course.
But it's still not great.
Shut that.
Watch, free me.
You know, they're after your boy.
They're up my ass.
Yeah.
That's not a little revolutionary.
And I'll obviously get into it right now.
Watch.
Watch.
I'll tell you all about it.
But let me blast off real quick.
Wait.
The found the full Fox interviewer
She tells Kevin that you called him the goat at five minutes.
Okay, whatever. I don't care about that. Wait, is this because they just like,
don't understand that I'm like typing?
like they're they're reading into me typing a fucking Twitter post as I just started the broadcast that's what it is
That's why that's where all of this controversy is coming from the controversy that they're trying to cultivate here is that I was
That I was fucking
Getting inundated with a bunch of messages in the chat while I'm live and also fucking
typing out my blast-off meme what the fuck
watch this is he say free me here free me we will free you brother yeah free me
free me okay so by the way Rob no revolutionary speech path no rally cry
no like what are you talking about I'm doing my job yeah every day I go live
And I cover the fucking news sometimes I happen to beat the news. It is what it is it happens quite frequently
None of this is an indication
What would be a clear-cut indication that I'm scared? Okay? I'm terrified. I'm quivering
Would be if I stopped doing what I'm doing if I wasn't literally
Continuing to to prop up candidates as I am doing today, you know
And I mean as I'm gonna be doing next week or by the end of this week
where I go I'm going to be going to the Adam Homali rally in New Jersey I
haven't stopped I like that they went from like they did this and they thought
they would get like a reaction out of me and they couldn't get the reaction so
now they're just coping now they're inventing a reaction that did not exist
What kind of revolutionary speech would I have delivered here, a rally cry?
If I were to do something like that, then they would be like, oh, look at how performative he is.
I think I have a pretty, you know, even keeled approach to potentially being investigated by the federal government.
It sucks. It's shitty.
I'm more concerned, not just about my own future, but I'm more concerned about the future of this country.
I do care about the people that live here. I do care about due process. I care about the First Amendment.
These are things I do care about. I know that these fucking dickheads will never understand that,
but I do care about these things. And I feel like this administration is coming after those things.
They're trying to tackle due process. They're trying to destroy the First Amendment at the altar of Israel, mind you.
They're trying to prosecute all political dissidents in this country.
This is not what America is about.
There have been dark periods of American history where they've done this, oftentimes
to those of my ideological tendency, of course, whether it be McCarthyism and the Red Scare
trials that took place.
But ultimately, I am worried.
Of course, I'm worried.
And you should be too.
If you're in any way shape or form a defender of free speech as a matter of principle, you
should be angry, not angry at me necessarily, not gloating about what this administration
is doing, but angry at the administration for doing it.
The question always is, is this a country that you want to live in?
Do you think this is a positive initiative or do you think this is the desperate attempts
of an administration that recognizes unpopularity
and wants to continue doing the unpopular things that it's been doing
and instead of reacting to the demands of the population
and and abiding by the spirit of democracy
choosing to prosecute dissidents to make it more difficult to actually
criticize the government
because that's what the administration is doing right now and if you are a
an enjoyer of the first amendment
you should be fucking terrified or at the very least as angry as i am
If not more angry stand firm on principle. Just free me free me. I can't believe I'm saying that
That's like what was I what was I supposed to say there? This is such a strange thing because they just like clipped the intro
It's so it's so strange I
Give a comprehensive breakdown of the entire thing and how silly and how stupid it is
Because he's not a rep. He's upset that he's upset that I'm doing an I show speed reference free him
Volusionary you he's a champagne socialist who loves like the aesthetic of a revolution like it sounds good. It's a lorry
It it's hot. It's sexy, right? But he likes that way more than the actual revolution itself
Okay, she quivera is probably rolling in his grave right now Pam. I'd you guys let me remind you guys who
Hassan Piker is this guy said America deserved 9 11. He's doubled down. He's tripled down
on. He's talking about all the wars we do. We deserved it over 3000 Americans dead. Okay.
Not soldiers, just Americans in the world trade. Yeah, I didn't say that, but it's fun
in New York. He said we deserve that. Okay. This is that guy. I didn't, I didn't say it
was good. It was not my position at all, but it's okay. Whatever. This is him, Rob. Who's
Is he sitting with here, Pat?
Do you guys know who this girl is?
I don't know who this female is.
You guys know her, Adam?
She's a social media, she's a pundit, whatever.
Look at what he's talking about, about her.
She talks about assassination.
Play this clip.
This is how he feels about Trump's assassination.
You actually wrote about this,
and there's a great video where you talk about it.
Oh, Taylor Leranz.
Someone has to do it.
Meaning assassinating Trump?
Look at her.
See, when I say that, everyone knows exactly what I mean.
Which is, I think that shows that there's a lot of anger,
a lot of resentment and untapped potential,
untapped revolutionary potential as a matter of fact.
And it's a great opportunity for organizing FATDM.
He's un-
Did you guys hear that?
Untapped like revolution.
He's talking about, cause she made the comment about
killing the president of the United States, Taylor Lorenz.
And he, this is the guy.
And I think that, I believe, allegedly,
he might be one of these people
that's getting money from a turkey or getting money from the middle east
these are the trojan horse people that are poisoning
the minds of the youth and time
okay so here's the thing
that's insane
i don't know
if there is
i don't know if there's something genuinely wrong with the brains of
republicans i guess yes the answer is yes
on a moving
some stuff around my guest is here darryliza
But.
Oh, shit.
Fuck, almost spilled.
Um.
But what's fucking frustrating about this is that that speech is
literally not about murdering the president.
You fucking idiot.
I'm talking about how angry people are to the degree that they're
saying that, which means there's an opportunity to push for change, necessary change in American
society, okay? That means that there are a lot of rudderless people that are frustrated with the system.
It's great. I don't know why Republicans hear that and they just go, oh, he wants to murder every
fucking wealthy people that's clear or some shit like that. Also, I can't even go back to Turkey,
where the fuck's this like he's getting paid by Turkey shit coming from. Hates the country,
Hopes not, praises 9-11.
And then the moment the government tries to get on you and just is hinting at a subpoena,
you turn into a little girl.
Okay, and I love Pat that you mentioned, Deville Roy Singham, Tom.
He's the guy who's trying to-
This is the guy, watch this guy closely follow.
Pat, 285 million into nonprofits, including the Hassan Piker company called the Code Pink,
the place that he was hanging out with over there.
So and this is what's gonna happen, Pat.
You ask me what they're gonna do, they're gonna go through your financial records, they're
You're going to go through your communications, your logistics, and whether you're working
and abating, abetting the communist regime of Cuba.
Okay, and if that happens, guys, if you're peddling for a foreign nation, don't you have
to register for as a foreign agent?
So I'm just saying, all the talk and the moment it happens, bro, is folded.
Play that clip as well, Ron.
Play that clip as well.
It literally doesn't matter.
You can prep with whoever you want, you can prep with many more as if you want.
There is no what you support terrorism, question mark?
No, I don't. I don't support the state of Israel and I don't support the state of the United States of America.
That's the 9-Eleven one, huh? Yeah, Rob, that's the wrong. Oh, there's the 9-Eleven clip where he says America deserves
a triple down what happened on 9-Eleven and he said something about capitalist blood. Oh, yeah, let it blood,
like soak their effing, kill them, put their blood in the streets. But this is again, all talk, all
Anyway, all right, Darius is here, everybody. Okay.
One second. The thing won't work yet, but I'm going to change the...
I'm gonna... Okay.
All right. Can you guys hear us?
I believe it should be perfect now.
Hi, everyone.
Okay. Hi.
Hi.
Welcome to the broadcast.
Thanks for having me.
Sorry, this is an interesting time to have you on as I am in the crosshairs of the federal
government it seems, but I'm very excited to talk to you about a bunch of different
things.
We're going to be heading over to an undisclosed location later as well, but I wanted to make
sure that instead of doing this interview in a loud environment, because a lot of people,
including my editors, who always complain about me doing these interviews in a loud environment,
some rallies and whatnot, I wanted to have you do a sit down for a brief moment before
we move on, before we go somewhere else and get to see your district as well.
But right off the jump, thank you so much for coming on.
What district are you running in?
Yeah, well, first of all, thanks for coming all the way to New York to talk.
Of course.
I am running in New York 13, that's Uptown in the Bronx, and I'm just really excited
to be able to build that a campaign that folks have been able to tap into organizing
and be part of this movement with us.
Hell yeah.
Yeah.
Let me pull my notes real quick as well.
I should have done that ahead of time, but I didn't do that.
You seem to be fielding a lot of comments all the time, so.
Yeah, there's a lot going on.
So there are probably, apparently there's a Fox News reporters that are embedded on the
broadcast that just like spend every waking moment just simply logging whatever I'm saying.
Maz you put out the fundraiser link right?
Do you think her mic is on backwards?
Oh is it on backwards?
Can you guys hear me?
Should I change it?
No, no, it's fine, it's just, is it harder to hear chat or no?
Yeah, this is the lady who's watching the entire broadcast, she's a senior digital news editor
at the Fox News, and her job is to just watch and as a boomer, screen record my...
But Lassa, we're watching the same screen recording, is this what's happening?
She was apparently screen recording with her phone with a shaky phone camera, like she's
in a movie theater.
quality here is actually
Filming the latest Michael Bay installation or something
But in any case okay here here we go. Okay. Don't look don't look at my notes
Just don't pay attention see the reflection of the notes in my go. Don't pay attention to the notes
No matter what you do
Darlyza Villa Chevalier am I saying that right you are okay is in the building Palestine organizer running for New York 13
is a D plus 32 district in Upper Manhattan and West Bronx.
Upper Manhattan, including Harlem, right?
Harlem, Washington Heights, and then parts of the West
Bronx, so Kingsbridge, but the park, all that.
We can watch your launch video real quick.
Let's start there.
And watch that in a minute, actually.
OK.
OK, we'll watch your launch video
where you said with Trump's authoritarianism at our doorstep
and billionaire greed in our backyard,
we need someone who won't let APAC, real estate developers,
and corporate packs dictate how hard we fight back today.
I'm launching my campaign for Congress in New York 13
with the Justice Dems support.
I've obviously interviewed you in the past as well,
DSA Slate.
Yeah, shout out DSA New York City, New York City DSA.
But let's take a look at this.
It's how change begins.
It doesn't roll in on the wheels of inevitability.
We have to make it happen
because overcoming the politics of the past
takes action from all of us.
Since I was a teenager, I've been organizing right here on these blocks in these streets.
My work has shown me that we're at our most powerful when we act together in solidarity.
As an educator, a union member, and after Latina New Yorker, I know we deserve better
than the status quo.
As New Yorkers, we know it's not our neighbor's fault when they fall in hard times.
It's the failure of our system.
That's why I've been here, working to reunite families torn apart by our country's cruel
immigration system.
against what we all know is a genocide in Palestine. And as the daughter of immigrants,
it's personal to me when ICE kidnaps my friends off our streets. All of these injustices are
symptoms of our broken system. So where is our congressman when ICE is kidnapping his
constituents? Why should we let Adriano Spaya go to spend billions on bombs overseas when
we are struggling to afford rents and groceries right here in New York City? We live in the
the richest country in the history of the world.
It's never been that our government
lacks the resources to help us.
It's just that the establishment lacks the courage.
The politics of the past are failing us.
It's time for us to take matters into our own hands.
I'm Dereya Elisa Avila Chevalier
and I'm running for Congress.
You're the president of Congress.
Damn, I thought it was ending.
I thought it was gonna end.
I really did.
And then, boom, it keeps going.
I completely forgot.
I was like, oh, wow, what a banger line to end it on.
No, the music, the show must go on.
Okay.
It's who isn't cash and checks from APAC,
real estate developers or corporations.
You deserve a member of Congress who prioritizes the people,
not their political career.
The era of machine politics ends now.
Our campaign is backed by justice Democrats.
Excuse me.
We had a lot to pop into too much.
It's so funny, it ends now, and the music stops,
and they're like, no, there's more.
There's more.
Damn.
I would like people just like you.
For too long, we've been told that change will come tomorrow.
To echo our ancestors who once stood right here,
we're now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today.
So join us today, because in our campaign,
we're not away for tomorrow any longer.
I think it's actually done now.
Okay, okay, boom, all right.
are lesion for congress everybody
alright so your working class after latina organizer your public defense
investigator
and a cuny uh... p c k ronnie represent your thirteen congressional district as
i
uh... already uh... brought up
uh...
it's uh... the upper manhattan and parts of west bronx including harlem
uh... she's a you're a democratic socialist challenging long-time congressman
as uh... you mentioned adriana espaya
uh... who uh... has had
i mean he's he's one of the old guard uh... new york uh... democrats and will
will get them in a second
your your championing affordability
immigration uh... labor
and america's uh... uh... your your
championing uh... changing america's unwavering support
for the nation state of israel arguing that the country's most rent or heavy
districts need a representative
less of the political machine and more to every day working
people
espionage been in office since you were in the first grade
first i think i was even younger than that you have enough that the office for
almost thirty years and i'm thirty two so okay so why do you uh...
uh... why do you why are you a gist
i mean i'm if you are fighting if you're actually showing up for people i
we wouldn't be here
okay i have a track record right right in front of me is gonna be a contentious
interview I bet you weren't expecting that. He's passed four sponsored bills in
nine years, three of which were naming and renaming post offices. You don't
you don't think that's enough for you know I think in nine years we deserve
more than renamed post offices. I think the fourth one was actually something
similar. No, it wasn't like another commemoration. Yeah, I don't have that
information in the economy but okay how about this? Espayat, champions
progressive causes, but can also do both things at the same time and support ice and fund
ice.
Can you get a man who can do both?
I mean, we have that in a spy app.
Yeah.
Get you a man who can do both.
Well, actually, he doesn't even really do the progressive part.
He just says it.
He says that he does it.
Well, isn't that enough?
You know, it's just so infuriating.
Like you vote for ice funding and then you call yourself a champion for Emory communities.
You stay completely silent when your own constituents are being kidnapped by ICE in your district
and you turn their families away and then you claim to support immigrants, right?
It's just, it's really infuriating in so many levels and there are so many jokes to
make on this but it's really also sometimes hard for me because I'm just like so many
people who I know and love have been impacted by these failed policies and by his very hypocritical
stances.
Okay, what about doing incredible fundraisers with the corporate interest, the real estate
lobby and also APEC?
Despite taking money from all those people, we still managed to outraise them.
So I don't know how much of an incredible fundraiser.
Okay, that seems like you're challenging APEC, which is probably in here as well watching
right now.
So you don't want them opening up that wallet.
We've received endorsements from shady groups like New York City, Democratic Socialists of
America, the UAW9A, the Justice Democrats, the Jewish Voice for Peace, Track A-Pack,
in addition, what?
Jewish Voice for Peace Action.
Jewish Voice for Peace Action, sorry.
And in addition to Jamal Bowman, Claire Valdez, Jabari Brisport, and she all say, are there
any new endorsements that you want to leak?
Yeah, today at State Senator Robert Jackson also endorsed.
Okay.
So that's so exciting.
Hell yeah.
All right, so let's get started.
I got a bunch of questions here.
I'm going to hate you with them in rapid succession.
New York 13 is an overwhelmingly renter dense district with renters making up 88% of the
population.
Many working class families are being actively priced out or they're being forced to live
in decaying.
Is that how you say Nietzsche?
Nietzsche.
Nietzsche.
Nietzsche developments with lead paint and no heat, the incumbent, Adriana Espayat, heavily
funds this campaign through the corporate real estate lobby.
How do you plan to mobilize this massive renter super majority, ones that actually was also
quite impactful in Zoram, Amdani's victory as well?
And does your experience as a renter shape this candidacy as well and your approach to
federal housing policy?
No, absolutely.
I am also a renter and it's like so many people in New York have had to wonder
whether I can afford to stay in the city that I love. When you know it has
become increasingly harder to find work that can keep up with the cost of
living. I was working towards a career in academia and I essentially got
priced out of it because this cost of living is just so high and you know I
think for everyone in the district we're really feeling the squeeze when it
it comes to the rent.
It costs $4,000 for a two bedroom in Harlem
or Washington Heights.
Damn.
And this is like the second poorest district,
not only in New York state, but by some measures
in the country.
So where the median income is $57,000, $4,000 a month
is just insane.
And that's what's considered affordable.
People are naming that affordable housing.
And I think it's just, the human cost of that
is that people are living on the street,
is that people are moving away.
I have so many friends who have moved away from uptown
into either other parts of the city
or to just other parts of the country
because they just simply can't afford to stay.
And what that means too for so many elders
is that who are living on a fixed income
is that their rents are going up
and then they have nowhere to go.
That their kids are moving away
and then their whole support system is gone
because their kids wanna raise their kids
but can't afford to do it in New York.
Why do you hate mom-and-pop landlords who own upwards of 10,000 units in New York City
that are trying to make ends meet and purchase their second yacht?
You know, because they treat our homes as though it's just like a calculation of how
much money they can leach out of our communities.
No, you know that they're working really hard to paint over all of the outlets that no longer
work with the landlord special white paint.
The lead-lit lead-lit paint that is dripping out of it from the outside.
Lead is good from what I understand.
If you want to understand the mentality of Gen X, if you can't beat him, you've got to
join him.
And it's the lead poison generation.
So I say, you know, I-
I thought we were the microplastic generation.
We're the microplastic generation, which is making us woke and gay.
Okay.
They're the lead poison generation, which is making them unbelievably reactionary, angry
all the time, and Trump supporters.
So I suggest we, I have a healthy diet of lead paint chips that I eat in the morning
so I can understand the plight of the Gen-X. In the first quarter of 2026, you became the
first challenger to ever out-raise Espayot, pulling in $270,000 to his $230,000, beast
mode by the way, entirely through grassroots donations. Can I hold a couple dollars? I'm
in some legal trouble. You know we're really trying to build up a grass group
campaign and every single dollar counts especially because we already know APAC
is in this race and we can beat them. I know that we can we just need the power
of the people so you got a couple dollars you want throw into a campaign
that's trying to take out APAC and corporate funding incumbent you can you
can support us but also you know if you live in the district if you live in
New York, come out, come canvass, and that will really go a long way.
What do you think that says about the way that Espion has operated as a legislator that
he's so beholden to corporate interests as opposed to you being beholden to your grassroots
donors?
I mean, I think it's reflective of a politic that is really having, that more money has
an outside influence on our democracy, right? The fact that, you know, our politicians really
make a lot of decisions based off of like how are they going to fundraise for their
next election, right? Whether or not their donors are going to continue to give to them
year after year as they run. And that is just a recipe for disaster. It means that rather
than actually working for the people who vote people in, who vote their representatives
they're working for their donors who then come in at the last minute like we
saw in North Carolina or in Illinois and drop millions and millions of dollars
to have a really outsized influence on these elections. But more and more we're
seeing actually that that kind of influence in our politics is people are
waking up to it and they're they're tired of that right they know that when
crypto or AI or APAC come into an election in the last minute and drop
that millions of dollars, right, that essentially they're buying our elections away from us.
And it's time that we actually have a system of accountability for our representatives
so that we can make sure that they're actually accountable to working people.
When we have a system of grassroots donation like that, that is a system of accountability.
Because we're saying we are accountable to the donors who are on the ground every single
day experiencing the things that the working people of our communities are going through.
We talked about your opponent in the incumbent,
Adriana Espeyot's track record.
Yes, you were right, by the way.
It was four bills in nine years.
Three of them were renaming post offices,
and then one of them was actually a commemoration of,
or one was for a commemorative historical site.
That's performance.
That's actually performance in action.
So he's averaging a bill every two years.
Will you commit to sponsoring and passing at least one bill
in your first term, and if so, what's your top priority
beyond naming a postal building?
Well, we have many day one priorities.
One would sign on to Baby's Not Bombs, the Pro Act,
to make sure that we are protecting and strengthening
unions.
What if I like bombs over babies?
Because babies cry all the time.
I bet you were expecting that question.
That's right.
I think we really need to check the politics of death.
But all the things that babies need in our communities are.
Have you ever met a baby that has bad vibes?
No, actually.
I love babies.
What about baby Hitler?
You will never...
Listen, babies are just the purest souls, and everything else that comes after that,
it's because of our flawed systems.
And I truly, truly believe that if we actually invest in our communities, invest in our kids,
we will be creating a future that's actually reflective of those values.
You dodge that question expertly.
This is real political skill in action.
I'm not diving.
You're also moving away from the camera a little bit.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'll move back.
No, it's all good.
Yeah, this is not a very professional setup.
I am, however, a very professional interviewer, as you've probably taken note of.
So one of the questions I ask every politician, every candidate comes on is the Zoran method,
a way to define themselves and not let their opposition define them.
Zoran was defined by five key policies.
what are your five key policies
that you wanna be defined by?
Yeah, so we are fighting to win housing for all,
to abolish ICE and to invest in our babies, not bombs.
We are so tired of our tax dollars going towards things
like ICE towards wars abroad that seems to never end
towards genocide, right?
And when we live in the second poorest congressional district
and never see the fruits of our work
and the fruits of the taxes that we pay,
and we deserve to have those taxes come back
into our communities and actually invest in them.
okay that's three i need to more for me what are some two two additional
all of the other five
uh... medicare for all
uh... and strengthening unions and building in power okay proact
all right
uh...
your campaign is gained a lot of traction recently in the new york post is
uh... now starting to publish your shit post as opposition research
two days ago they dropped an article titled x mom downy campaign lead running
for congress
has a history
trigger warning
of racist remarks against white people
why do you why do you hate white people
do you want to read the tweet because it was...
i just i want to... i wouldn't care if you're having it as i was
as someone who is in the past been banned from this platform twitch.tv
that's where you're on right now
for calling someone a
c-word
that's bitch
uh... cracker as bitch that's what i said
uh... and i i i i was i was banned from the platform
for seven days
uh... for anti-white racism
uh... i've been reformed
and that's the reason why i'm holding your feet to the fire right now let's
take a look at your tweet
uh... once again i'm gonna say it's a good i think that
the new york coast spending so much time on this uh... and not once
reporting what we're actually fighting for
is just like more of the same that of like ignoring the needs of the people
uptown in the Bronx.
You know, I was, basically what they're saying here is that I was a millennial
access to the internet.
That's all there, that's the breaking news here and I think there are just so
many other things that people in the Bronx and
in uptown really need from our community and from our leadership and like
this is just not journalism, sorry.
It's very funny.
It's funny.
I don't know what to say.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, this is good, this is good.
Well, you got more.
Oh, gosh.
I held the door open for this old white lady at Popeye.
I'm polite to my elders.
Is that a BDS shirt?
Me, yes.
Her, you know what they do to,
door closed before I could find out what they do, sad.
Sad.
So this doesn't even,
this doesn't even make sense
because you didn't even say anything.
I said, yes.
It just shows that you were nice to an old white lady.
What is that?
That says the opposite.
This is bad reporting.
This shows the opposite.
They also keep getting my name wrong, which I'm like, they keep saying Chevalier is Avila
Chevalier.
Ah, okay.
Chevalier claims she converted to Islam three years ago at March 6th speech at the Al-Qa'i
Islamic Center in Kuwait headed by Raqqa.
God. Wait, you've converted to Islam? You've converted? Oh, masha'Allah. Okay. Well, I'm
a very bad Muslim, so I will get that out of the way.
We didn't say our salams when we opened it, so salamu alaykum alaykum.
So do you feel any, do you feel bad that you opened the door for old white races, lady?
You disavow your past actions of holding a door open for an old white...
I was trying to be so nice, and now it's memorialized in a New York Post article, and, you know...
What if the old white racist lady that you opened the door for went in there to say slurs
the other people?
Would that change your perspective?
How would I have known that, so...
I'm just saying.
I would have not known.
Sometimes we should think twice.
I assume the best of people...
Before we open the door.
I assume people go through the world with good intentions, but maybe I'm just too...
Yeah, but you didn't know this was going to be a contentious, this is gotcha during a
wisdom.
Oh my goodness.
Yeah, you were like, oh, this is going to be great.
It's going to be nice.
We're going to be raising saffons.
No.
No, I really, I was trying.
I literally, when I see an elder, they're right behind me.
What am I going to do?
I'm not going to let the door slam in their face.
I never do that.
I slam it in their face.
I just assume I'm anti-white racist and also agist.
So I just slam the door in front of them on purpose.
Okay, in March, twenty-five, your constituent and personal friend from Columbia University,
Mom with Kalil, was arrested by Plainclothes ICE agents, that is, resident, while lawmakers
like Rashid Tlaib immediately signed letters demanding his unconditional release from the
Louisiana detention center.
Espayot issued a weak statement, merely stating he expected the DOJ to work within the confines
of the law.
What do you think that says about Espayot being a fighter for his constituents?
I mean the statement itself to be clear was two sentences and it's just a
ridiculous notion that you know to ask that the DOJ the Trump's DOJ to be
clear work within the confines of the law which they were actively not doing
by taking him to begin with right yeah like they were violating his rights from
the start and for that to be all he had to say about this the fact that he
He turned away his family, turned away our friends when they went to speak to him.
I've been living and organizing here for my entire adult life and not once has his office
met with me on any issue, even beyond Israel policy, not a single issue.
And the fact that for so many of us organizers, that has been just the norm, I think is still
telling.
He is someone who really boasts being a Dominican immigrant who is like the first undocumented.
And then the moment that you see a very high profile immigration case happening in his district,
he's nowhere to be found.
He even brings it up.
He's like, regarding the case of Mom with Clil, a constituent who lives in my district,
my office has been following this case closely and as a former green card holder, I expected
the Department of Justice to work within the confines of the law and that due process guaranteed
to him and his family. The rule of law must be respected. This is literally, I'm sorry
to say this, Dominican Chuck Schumer. Like this statement is basically Chuck Schumer
is just like, you know, I don't want to say he's a terrorist, because he's my constituent,
but like, you know, I hope they prosecute him adequately.
It's like actually insane that he would say this and then do absolutely nothing more.
And like, this is the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. For him not to have the foresight
to understand what this would mean for millions of people
across the country is just like, is insane.
Like, here is a green card holder
who was taken by ICE illegally.
Do you not think that's gonna have an impact
on every green card holder across the country?
Also, this is the first amendment right issue.
That's gonna have an impact on literally
every single person.
They put more, they put more emphasis onto his background
than his actual comments.
This is supposed to be a top issue.
I mean, where do you think that comes from, though?
Because you're talking about how you've
tried as a constituent to talk to him.
His constituent services have been lacking on this area,
even though it's supposed to be an issue that he understands
intimately given his background.
Where do you think that comes from?
Is it fear?
Is it the idea that if you become a fighter
on this kind of issue, then you're sticking your neck out
too much?
what does that say about espionage
i mean i think it's all the above i think it's that the fact that he doesn't
actually have a real understanding of the connection between
and you know these issues and how they impact people across the country the
fact that
what you already said
that was the blueprint for how uh... they would engage in immigration uh...
enforcement across the country
and eight days later two hundred minutes when migrants were were deported to
concentration camp in a cell
like the fact that he doesn't have
just the most basic understanding of how this administration operates, how the immigration
system operates, the fact that he is so unwilling to fight for Mahmoud because he is Palestinian.
But the core of this is that he saw someone who was advocating for the human rights of
Palestinian people and as a Palestinian man facing the consequences of Trump's backlash
on that, you know, he was just unwilling to stand up for him.
And he said damn the consequences of this on literally everybody else in US soil.
And so, you know, it's a lack of moral courage, but it's also a lack of clarity on the moment
that we're in.
And he's just not meeting this moment on any issue.
He really, when I say he's more interested in supporting his donors, I mean that because
he's taking money from the same corporations and contractors that profit from ICE detention,
profit from the collaboration between ICE and, you know, Israeli apartheid. And, like,
this is all, like, interconnected, right? The same institutions that are profiting
from this are then going to all of our establishment politicians, Republicans and Democrats alike,
and paying them essentially to stay quiet on the issues that most impact us here at home.
You've a long history of organizing with families for freedom and actively fighting against
family separations, including successfully leading the defense of Abd al-Qadir Muhammad,
who was detained for 18 months under the Trump administration's travel restrictions.
How is this direct experience with the machine, with the immigration system, informed or approached
immigration reform, and do you support communities actively tracking ICE to protect their neighbors?
Yeah, no, I think, you know, this is a moment where ICE has always been terrible, right?
It's always been terrible for our communities and we've lived in a world where...
What if they called it NICE?
The National Immigration Customs and Enforcement?
I don't think that'll do much.
Dammit.
Okay.
Well, let's get that.
Sorry to cut away at your serious conversation about your long background and at the same
advocacy in this space. I thought that would have worked.
No, you know, I think a lot of the solutions, but I think you're speaking to something else
that's actually a much deeper issue is that a lot of the solutions that we propose around
immigration seem to be just like band-aid, like let's add this one thing that will maybe
like stop the water from flooding the shit that we're in, right. What really needs to
to happen is we really need to pull back on a lot of these really horrible, horrible
bills, right? A lot of these horrible pieces of legislation that have made it really difficult
to actually fight for immigrant communities. And so, you know, I've been organizing, you
know, for a really long time with folks who are in ICE detention, organizing with folks,
the families of folks who were a nice attention.
So when the Houds situation happened,
it was the initial shock of it happening to somebody
that I knew, but then there was also a moment
where my brain just clicked into organizer mode,
and I kind of just knew what were the next steps, right?
And that was making sure people knew about this,
writing the op-eds, getting the word out, making sure
that we were organizing the direct actions of civil disobedience
that we were showing up for court support
and showing that he has a community that cares about him.
And doing so for every single one of the other students
and activists who had been taken up in that sweep.
And with the other folks whose cases I'd worked on,
those were really tough cases.
Because I think for so long, people just kind of accepted
ice as just like something that was there and you know I think part of why
we're able to talk about it in the way that we do now is because people are
waking up to how it's being used right yeah and and community organizing and
community defense against ice like specifically tracking ice has been very
successful in Minneapolis Minnesota I just wanted to ask you once again like
if you're in favor of doing that yeah I think there are a lot of community
organizations that are taking a number of measures to keep our American
community safe. That is one of them and I think you know the way that folks are
coming together to you know let each other know when ICE is like seen in the
neighborhood, right? Making sure that we are protecting one another. Our
institutions have failed us so terribly that it's really incumbent on our
communities to come out from one another. But that's also why I'm doing this now.
and running for office because I keep thinking back to that day when I learned
that he had been taken and I keep thinking like what would it have meant
to Nurento Nurento our entire community right to have had a representative
who was actually willing to fight for him from the moment they learned that it
happened. Yeah speaking of which Espaiat's position has evolved over time on
this issue on the issue of ICE. It took ICE killing two American citizens for
for Adriana Espayat to call for the dismantling of the agency, not abolition.
Now you've of course long supported the abolition of ICE.
What do you, what is your take away from that though?
Like the fact that it takes such a heinous crime in the hands of this unaccountable force
and not the heinous crime of kidnapping one of his constituents that caused him to move
on this issue when seemingly it's safe, and yet still not take the bold, transformational
advocacy necessary to really improve American society.
Yeah, I mean, I think it speaks to what we've been saying, that he really is someone who
operates under a framework of seat at the table politics, right, like he just wants
to seat at the table, and not to actually fight for the issues that impact us.
And you know, I remember seeing, I don't want to misquote here, but I remember seeing something
where he was shifting because now 51% of Americans, including Republicans or something,
then I was like, why does it take a poll that includes the very folks who have been advocating
for this, right, for him to shift on this, and when his base has been, when Democrats
have been so clear around what we do all the time.
those folks, including your neighbors, that are underserved, thought about grinding extra
hard so they can have disposable income to give Adriana Aspayat money.
You know, I will tell them to find some time between their second and third job to make
a little more.
I'm just saying.
Okay, picture this.
Okay, you're a nurse.
You're working shift after shift.
You recently got a new contract.
So at least, you know, there's a little bit more money in your contract.
They stayed six weeks out in the corner.
Yeah, they were greedy.
They were greedy.
You're right.
They were very greedy.
And they were like, please hire more nurses
and give us a little bit more money.
It's very difficult to survive in these conditions,
which I say is greedy.
That's the opposite of Sigma Grimeset, OK?
But what if that nurse, instead of going home and sleeping,
decided to take on an Uber job, just so with that disposable
income, they could give Adrienne Espeyot money
so that he would be more receptive to their needs.
Have you thought about that?
I haven't actually.
OK.
Well, we'll go talk to some of the nurses out in the pick
up houses.
Because it seems like in order to change the system,
you've decided to run against Adriana Espayot.
And I feel like you could have just bribed him.
He seems like he's really into that.
I do not have enough money to bribe that man.
And I just think also, really, this
is so reflective of how we get price out of our own democracy.
Yeah.
Like, what is the point of having a democracy
if corporations are just going to swoop in in the last minute
and pay millions of dollars to buy it?
On the issue of ice, I want to ask you,
some ask other candidates as well,
Now the litmus has become like abolish ice in that grade,
but I feel like we need to go further beyond that.
I think we need to prosecute ice and hold ice accountable.
So are you in favor of that as well?
I definitely think that we need to have a very long
and hard conversation around accountability
because I think we have to think about the larger structures
here around how we even got to this moment in the first place.
And part of that has to do with the fact
that we have completely gutted all of the federal programs
that make it possible for people to find good dignified jobs,
to get quality education.
There are so many failures of our system
that have brought us to this moment politically.
And I think accountability is at the heart of that, for sure.
We're gonna also move to get to the next location right now.
So I think are you ready? Yeah, so we'll we'll break down because we got to use that one camera. I'm broke
I only have one camera unfortunately as a broke boy. We got a gift for me. We do have a gift for you, okay?
What is this this is this is a t-shirt, I'm not sure if it's the right size, but you can
This is a large it's very kind of
It's very kind of you to think that I could fit in a large
I wasn't sure, but we can get you another.
No, it's great.
Thank you.
I'll wear this, and my titties will be bursting out of it.
I'll rip through it.
Well, we'll get you another one.
But thank you.
It's a little bit of a mess.
I'll also value a towel.
Oh, you did.
What's the?
It's another appropriate.
If you're in New York, there are two things you need.
OK, what is this?
You're there, at least, for Congress to share it,
and you need a NYX towel.
New York NYX Forever towel?
OK.
I mean, I'm a wimby truther, but I'm a wimby supremacist,
but it's fine.
Well, we'll have a longer conversation about that one.
I like the Knicks as well.
You know, I'm in favor of the Knicks.
But yeah, you can hear, I'll pull out the camera for one
second.
We'll switch over to the laptop camera, which
is far worse.
I was going to say, our color tones change.
Yeah.
No, I was cheating it.
Hold on, okay, all right. Yeah, we'll stick on this and then you can you can take it out
I mean when you pull it out, they're not gonna be able to hear us either so I'll wait hold on before you
Yeah, before you do that. Let me swap this to
For at least the time being
While you work on that
Take off the noise gain, increase the gain, okay, yeah, we should be fine like this for
now.
All right, and we'll continue doing it like this.
Anyway, I won't ask you any of the good questions that are designed to be clip-able moments
while we're having this, you know, technical break, because I feel like there's a waste.
But yeah.
What's Chat saying?
Chat wants me to hold your feet to the fire even more.
I mean, yeah.
That just, I don't know, just things.
I don't think they understand that, like, we're in agreement on a lot of stuff.
Oh, I'm so proud.
Thank you.
Whoever said I'm so proud.
No, don't encourage them.
Don't.
They shouldn't.
taught them poorly. We don't see women's beauty here on the podcast.
That doesn't exist? Okay.
Yes, you're supposed to say, I don't even know.
Okay, I don't know.
We don't acknowledge that.
Okay, it's messed up.
It's messed up.
This is really funny, actually.
Thank you, chat. I really appreciate it. Yeah, we don't see women. We're woke. We're woke at the Hassanabir Barqas
We're well off the Barbie the Barbie themed women. Yeah, it's great
And there's also a man, which is negative. Oh, it's whenever I do something like is it like Ken font?
No, it's like when I when I say something stupid like dumb or you know borderline misogynist
They go oh men or when men do something negative. Yes, see, let me see it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's a good one
It's called the M word
I like these.
I love that they've all decided to post it now.
Yeah.
We don't need a shotgun, right?
No, I don't think we should bring it.
I mean, you can bring it just for safety, but I don't think we need the shotgun.
Okay.
And on that note, everybody, I am going to, wait, hold on, let me call Uber first.
And then I'll leave you guys with Patrick Bette David's beautiful voice talking about
me for a brief moment while we get into the car and move on. Explain Cussey? Okay, dude,
stop. Stop. Fox News is watching. We're going to throw a curveball at them.
They're very obsessed with you. Yeah, I know. It's strange. Listen to a little Mariah Carey
obsessed. It's weird. Or if you want to lean into the Dominican, I'll just zoom. I do take...
wait which one is it out of these it's none of them oh I think that's what it
goes by now
nope nope let me let me look it up not on over it doesn't wait also don't leak
anything okay there are no cameras behind me right no okay no okay don't say
address okay maybe that's maybe that'll work
wait is it is it this one or no wait where to go this one no it's not let's
just Google it okay no no I know but like what's the address no I see it
okay hold on I got it I got it I got it all right cool I know why it's not coming
over their haters boom okay haas looks so autistic okay guys that's not very
nice let's see if we get a I saw this thing of you giving a hug to Caleb
there was yeah it was like fighting okay I actually did nail that hug it's
kind of fucked up that that's well okay well I know who I'm supporting in your
race illegally now it's messed up all right everybody say bye bye we'll be
back in one second but here's Patrick bet David and I'll see you in the car
Okay
Talk in the moment you get checked it's a related to is any
nephew
Rob I just sent you clip play that clip to to kind of see him and by the way
There's a message to this there's a message to this and it's not even towards him
There's a message to the youth go ahead Rob play this clip
Poor people that they can they they can afford housing in Berkeley. I don't know how my
My understanding is that the property owners who have properties there choose just not to rent it at all.
Yeah, kill those motherfuckers!
This is a true believer who reacts that way when you see someone like this. You know, what's the biggest takeaway from this time?
So...
who watches them? The youth. What age? Young progressive. What age? Can you pull up and
see what is his audience? What is the age? 16 to 30. Okay, so what is the age who watches,
you know, what's the age them all this audience? Go to it. So under 30, heavily under 30, 60%
of his community is under 30, position him as a prominent voice for Gen Z and younger
millennials. Okay, so how many frustrated Gen Z young millennials are out there? Millions.
Yes, okay. How many doesn't need to convince to go out there and kill you know when he says kill
You know, but let the blood all he needs to do is one lose your major
Yeah, right you don't need that many of them. Yeah, and so multiply that times million
So if you if you're a young boy and you're watching this here's what you have to be careful with
How many young boys do we have Rob? How many young men do we have in America?
under the age of 22 that
under the age of 18 that are you know living with a single mother okay I
wonder if we can get that data or not so take that number where seven and a half
million young males under the age of 18 that live with a single mother in the
US so according to US Census Census Bureau that that tracks around 15.3
million children living exclusively with single mothers but I'm talking young
males you know why that's so important so what happens when you're seven and a
half million young males under the age of 18. No father. You see a clip like this by
this guy. Who do you process that issue with? Nobody. It's just easier. He's your guy. That's
the guy. That's your guy. And so what do you do if you're not too careful? Guys, we had
a kid this, this last week in school that said something dumb. It's probably going to
get what do you call it? Expelled. Expelled. He's probably going to get expelled. When,
when you're around other people like this and you watch and all of a sudden you get
Emotionally you say something dumb your career is on the line forever
You you can't you can't put yourself in positions like this and parents have to watch very closely of what and who is
Influencing your kids if you're not watching the phone if you don't grab your kids phone and go to history
If you're under 18 years old grab history just to see what you're consuming
So if you go to history you see soccer videos guess what great
Yeah, if you go to a history and it's you know, I don't know basketball videos prank videos funny videos
All this other stuff great if you go in history and you see revolutionary talk killing this guy killing that guy
You better get a hold of your kid very very quickly
Or else these types of folks are having influence over your kids and you know, you don't want this thing to others
It'll never happen to my kid. It'll never happen to my kid
nobody knows something's gonna happen until it's too late.
Tom, your thoughts on this story.
Yeah, exactly.
So I go two sides to it.
And the first side, I never want my voice snuffed.
And I never want illicit means used to shut me off,
which means the price of free speech is free speech,
unless you're out there and you're a foreign agent.
And what I think he's worried about is FARA
can land you in prison.
And this is if you haven't registered or you're being paid, you are now a spy.
You are now, not by legal definition, but to the rest of America.
And I want to see, this goes back to the first story we covered today, I want to see where
people were before and after they got money and who they got it from Pat.
I want to see that list, because I think we're going to see a lot of things that these guys
like this, you know, he sits there with this reaction.
I don't want to see capitalist blood.
And then maybe he was taking sponsorship money
or influence money,
which is kind of a capitalist position,
wouldn't you say, Vinny?
Oh.
It's just like you're gonna make money off of your job
and your job is gonna be being this lightning rod
for something you may believe in,
but you're basically taking money from afar.
I want to see the list.
I want to see the list.
I want to see the before and after.
The price of free speech is free speech.
But the price of vigilance is your responsibility
as a citizen.
What is the price if you're threatening someone's life?
What is that, Tom?
If you're doing a live stream and you say,
kill XYZ and kill XYZ.
There's specific laws about the president.
You can't put the president in a video game.
Threatening someone's life in the United States
is considered a true threat.
And it's...
Okay, I left you guys with a little bit of Patrick Bet David goodness.
I hope you guys were thoroughly and sufficiently value tamed in the process.
Do you know who Patrick Bet David is?
It's in the notes.
You have to answer this question.
Okay.
This is very important.
Okay, let's hear it.
Do you know who Patrick Bet David is?
I don't really know.
He's one of the top minds in American politics and you don't know who he is.
Are you familiar with the concept of value-tainment?
This is the first I'm hearing of it but I'm guessing there's value-entertainment in entertainment.
When you hear someone say, I'm a numbers guy, what does that make you think of?
I wonder whether they actually are numbers guys.
Okay, why is there, the mic is scraping on the bill.
Oh, sorry, sorry guys.
Oh no.
Sorry.
Should I just put it behind me?
Let's do that.
Okay, all right, we got it.
This social interaction is washed.
Okay.
Can't trust a politician who doesn't know PPD.
That's what they're saying.
Now he's a right-wing influencer, big time Trump.
I love my hogs.
And he's one of the best.
So he's addressed with you as well?
No, no, not even. I wish he was. I'm obsessed with him.
Oh, okay.
Because he reminds me a lot of my uncle, Janko Uigo, I don't know if you know him, the young Kurtz.
Yeah, he's like my uncle if my uncle took Osempic.
Like he looks like him.
Okay.
And also was right wing instead of left wing.
Yeah.
And he's just, he's great.
He won't have me on a show.
And I'm really, I'm trying.
I'm trying to get on a show.
He will talk about me on a show.
He won't have me on the show.
But he'll talk about you a lot actually.
Which is kind of messed up.
Which is kind of messed up.
Is the audio still bad?
Are you guys here?
Are you hear me?
Yeah.
You would think if someone talks about you that often
that they would want to actually talk to you?
Yeah, I thought so too, but it's not.
That's not what has happened, unfortunately.
It's pretty devastating.
I've been on with his second in command Vinny.
He gets really red when he thinks about me or talks about me.
All right, well, let's get back to some less serious topics.
Back to your election.
And not Patrick Pitt, David, my favorite.
We were talking about Espeyat's loyalty and where it lies,
And how it's not necessarily being a responsive politician to his constituents, but instead to corporate donors and also foreign lobbies
specifically APEC
She flew to Jerusalem on APEC's dime
When you're elected if you defeat espionage what part of Israel would you like to see first?
I've actually been to Palestine. I've got a summer in Palestine
I was working in Atlas, but I got to see a lot of the area and it was it was really beautiful, but also really
Hard I was young. I was 20 years old
And it was very formative in many ways, so it's not it's not television
Not television. You know it's the only democracy in the Middle East though, you know when you have a part-time that's hard to
Hard to square. Okay
All right, good to know. No politician has ever been elected in New York City after answering that question and the negative
famously
What does it say about a?
a
A representative that still chooses to go to Israel to visit Israel
Even though UN and countless human rights organizations have concluded that Israel's committee of genocide in Gaza
Do you think that Espeyot should return the hundreds of thousands of dollars of pro-Israelan
pro-genocide donations that he has received?
You know, I mean, I think this is really, this race is about proving that people are
tired of a politics of death, that they want a politics of life, and I'm at a point where
I'm just like, through what you will, June 23rd, we're going to win because I think people
are just so fed up with seeing that, you know, their representatives are taking money from
these institutions that really are so deeply motivated by the profit that they gain from
slaughter in our communities and not, you know, actually investing in the things that
sustain life here.
You know, people would ask me a lot actually last year during the mayoral race, you know,
he's the mayor, so like why is it like that people ask him so much about Palestine?
And my response to that was always that, you know, if you can trust someone on an issue
that is a question of like human dignity, you can trust them on all these other issues.
Because that's going to reflect in every policy choice that that person makes.
about the core of what they're fighting for is human dignity.
It's gonna reflect in their health care policies.
It's gonna reflect in their housing policies.
It's gonna reflect in everything that we need
as people to lead dignified lives.
And so, you know, I even had someone ask me.
Can we, wait, hold on.
Can you save your thought for one second?
I'm sorry.
The mic is either like the...
Should I just hold it up to my...
The indigo?
um... it's it's apparently like doing crackly audio
uh... it might be it might be the clothing rustling mic is there
is their feedback on my two of it is that it means that it's uh... it's the
cable is there for you a little less fix it's real quick sorry so that the
clips are by usable
uh... flipper flip it inside out oh no it's just hers
just hold on to it
or is there just a static when i'm also talking to be flipping around
it could be the game as well no yours is
No, not yours is good enough. Okay, yeah, yeah, if you do that, boom.
Is that better? Have we solved the problem?
I think we will have solved the problem now.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay. Yeah, I mean if you want me to try to just go ahead and...
Yeah, alright. Let's continue with that train of thought.
We were talking about what like a propensity hypothesis represents.
And also on top of that like why why is this like always a big deal? Why is the point of contention?
Yeah, well, you know, I think on any level of government, right?
If you are someone who believes in human human dignity
And you believe that Palestinians are also deserving of human dignity, right?
That's gonna reflect in every single policy decision that you make whether that's health care whether that is education
whether that's you know housing if
If your North Star is ensuring that people get to lead lives that are dignified, then
that is going to be reflected in everything.
And I think, you know, when people were really, they're asking me a lot about this during
the mayoral primary last year where I was doing a lot of canvassing for Zaran.
And they're like, well, the mayor doesn't have power over, you know, our international
politics.
You know, but he has power over a lot of the institutions in the city that that impact our day-to-day lives and
Really impact the quality of our day-to-day lives, right?
And if I can trust that this person believes that
There is no such thing as a person who is undeserving of human dignity
Then I can trust that I can trust them to to understand why our health care is important
Why our housing is important and I had someone even ask me once, you know
why is there this difference in terms of fun on this campaign, and it's because when you
are invested in life, life is supposed to be fun, that's the whole point, right?
And instead of the doom and gloom politics that we're always being subjected to.
And so I really think for a lot of people on the left who, for whom Palestine is so important,
at our core, it really is about making sure that we are thinking about our politics and
a really transformational way and thinking about it in a way that is rejecting profit
over people.
Yeah, I think it's a really good litmus test for the reasons that you've spelled out, right?
Because I don't think people, most of our politicians are running so they can be like
vociferous defenders of a foreign country that's doing a litany of different war crimes
even before the genocide, in the maintenance of an apartheid state, they're getting funded.
It shows that you become an insider, that machine politics has basically destroyed your
soul and has made you into this vessel for corporate interests and for foreign lobbies
as well, that you're bought and sold to the highest bidder.
And that makes you less responsive to the needs of your constituents and makes you a
worse politician overall.
overall, the politicians are supposed to be, you know, abiding by the interests of their
people over the interests of profits. The other important litmus test is that if you
can't trust the politician to oppose a genocide, then how can you trust the politician to defend
democracy? Because that's a fairly decent red line to establish, and I do feel like
Espionage has failed to do so and this is the exact same like calcified institutionalist
establishment Democrat do nothing Democrat politics that people are sick and tired of
and they want they want to change.
And it's not just like you know rhetoric it's not just like this like you see the policies
right the fact that he's voted to support Trump's crypto buddies right the fact that
he has supported funding for ICE, the fact that he has refused human to this day to sign
on to block the bombs. All of this is reflective of a politic that is, to your point, accountable
to money and not people. And that's why this game of money and politics is so deeply dangerous.
is so nefarious in so many ways.
Like even as a working class candidate,
like I don't have the institutional backing
or the resources, right?
To just like call up a few buddies
to donate hundreds of thousands to my campaign, right?
Like I have to sit and do call time
and like call folks all day, right?
To donate a couple bucks here and there
to really sustain this campaign.
And it is incredible the amount of time and energy
that has to be spent on that instead of talking
to my neighbors, right?
I'm fortunate enough to have already had
a lot of those relationships in my community
where that trust was already there,
but I just can't imagine doing this without the support
of organizations that are really holding me right now
because it is just such a difficult thing to do
as a working class person.
Yeah, one thing that the CIA, potentially the CIA tries to do, is to divide the progressive
movement on the boundaries of race, and one of the things that I see all the time is accounts
that claim to be black people on Twitter, consistently taking an anti-Palestinian status,
that you know Zionism is what black people are for overall now obviously no
group is a monolith certainly not black people either but the reason why I'm
bringing this up with you is your offer your afro-Latina and you actually have
written about the shared struggle on the electronic intifada about the
experiences that black Americans go through and the shared struggle that
the shared struggle that that Palestinians go through as victims of a settler colonial apartheid state.
Do you see the similarities? Do you want to talk about that a little bit further? How do you feel when you see
sometimes even members of the Congressional Black Caucus take a position that is pro-Israel? How does that make you feel?
make you feel? Yeah I mean I think there is so much to be said actually like
APAC is doing this often now where now they're creating these shell packs right
where they they have these like really like innocent sounding names like
elect women or something like that right or elect I don't know you know things
that are that on their face sound like good like yes elect women right like
this one but you know when you like dig into it and it's it's actually like
like APAC, right?
And we're seeing that even in this race, right?
We're seeing that across the country.
And I think, you know, to your point about the way
that like you have these very divisive discourse
that's happening, it is a divide and conquer
type of strategy, right?
Of like sowing discord among our communities
where there should be solidarity.
You know, one of the really formative moments
in my political thinking was actually getting back home
to the US after that summer in Palestine.
And it was the summer that Michael Brown was killed
in Ferguson.
And seeing the way that Palestinians
who had just endured a bombardment in Gaza that summer
were telling people in Ferguson about how
to deal with the tear gas, because they had just
been subjected to that same tear gas that
was made in the U.S., right, with our tax dollars, and telling them how to deal with
that tear gas and be able to get on. That to me just really solidified in my mind the
connection between our struggles for liberation here and the struggles for liberation in
And I think so often of all the different institutions that have really made life so much harder
for black Americans, Afro-Latinos, black immigrants generally, right?
Because even when we talk about immigration, it's actually black immigrants who are just
proportionately impacted by the criminalization of immigration and by detention, right?
about how ICE policing like they we had so many police departments across the
country sending their officers to Israel to train with the IDF.
Am I being televised?
Exactly.
Exactly and when we think about the way that you know police brutality has
has really played out in this country against black and brown communities
particularly black communities you know that can't be separated from the
institutions that that are doing very similar harm to other communities from.
Yeah, so for the crime of writing for electronic endophtata, you were put on the canary mission.
I was. Actually, I capped him before that.
Oh, sorry, yeah. Well, you, you called, it wasn't the the electronic endophtata piece?
No, I was just, I was an undergrad, yeah. So it's been, it's been many years.
So you've been doxy mable for 2060.
That's crazy.
Around 2060, I think.
I mean, I got on.
I don't even know when I got on Canary Mission.
I did lose to Candesolans on stop anti-semitism,
stop anti-semitism out of the year list two years ago.
It's a wound that is deeply humiliating,
but I will one day overcome that wound.
But as someone who's been organizing for Palestine
for over a decade, do you feel like things are changing?
Because one of the things, one aspect that I see
with a lot of young activists who were activated
after ARC-Pover-7 is this idea that like change
is not happening immediately.
But considering that you've had a lot of time
in this space with your advocacy,
and I've been there for a very long time as well,
one thing that I try to tell people is like,
This is an unbelievable thing in comparison to the last 20 years on this issue.
Does that give you courage that young people are finally changing their minds?
And it's not even just young people.
Now older and older generations are also coming to terms with this reality.
Yeah, no.
I think the shift that we've seen, I mean, it's heartbreaking because it took a genocide for people to wake up to it.
But I also think we sell ourselves short if we don't also acknowledge that it was also
the organizing that we've been doing for many years prior to it as well, right?
The reason that we had the organizing infrastructure to respond is because people had been doing
this work for many years prior to it.
And it is just incredible to me to see the way that we've, the leaps and bounds we've
made in this movement, right?
to see folks understanding how it impacts their lives,
like their day-to-day life here, right?
The fact that we are spending so much money,
so much of our taxpayer dollars
on these foreign wars, on this genocide.
In the first six days of this war with Iran,
we could have funded Mary Mamdani's
universal childcare program.
Yeah.
That's the six billion dollars that would have taken
to give every child in New York access
to free universal childcare.
Like, people are doing the math, right?
And they're-
But don't you feel patriotic for Israel
that we are waging their battles for them
against foreign adversaries
that shouldn't even be foreign adversaries, really?
But we've designed them as such?
You know, I just-
That's how I feel when I fill up my tank.
It's, and isn't it more expensive
when you fill up your tank, so?
Yeah, no, and I am overcome
sense of patriotism duty and honor every single time i do that i have a new
year i don't know
it's the real but
but i think it's yeah you know it's the point of like why are we doing this
like we are slaughtering people we're bombing schoolgirls
um and to what end because
to what end things have only gotten harder for advancing the greater is a
real project as marco rubio and and lining the pockets of the corporate
interest right that profit off our war machine see so even better I would do
it like I would do anything if they didn't do that okay okay okay um I'm
just trying to get the administration off my back okay I've just I'm in listen
I don't know there might be a subpoena coming down the line I just I'm trying
I what do you think about a ballroom it's good right shouldn't we build to
ballroom but also on top of everything it's ugly like we're spending a billion
dollars on this ballroom. We don't have money to feed our kids. We don't have money for
any of this. And we're building an ugliest ballroom.
What about the presidential slush fund? He should have more money, I think, of the taxpayers
that fund the slush fund. No?
That's so hard for me to...
What do you feel about the presidential slush fund?
You know...
1776, important year, the year that this nation...
It's so hard.
$1.776 billion.
Okay, I'm trying.
I appreciate it.
Fox News, I tried.
I tried.
She's a radical.
She doesn't want the president to steal $1.7 billion of taxpayer funds that he can do
whatever he wants with it.
An ugly ballroom!
Well, no, the ballroom is separate.
That's another thing.
But also the ugly ballroom.
That, truly.
As someone who has to live with the with the ugliness of these corporate developers who don't care about the
Character of our city. I just I see things like an ugly ballroom. It's really raging
All right, so when you know we're not gonna be able to get a table until 730. Oh, yeah, they have a lot of
They have a big line so
Unfortunately, you're not you don't have a spy out clout yet
I would have hoped you had more clout than I have no clout I have no clout at all so we'll just
I guess we'll get out and we'll walk around a little bit before we eat a table but then you'll
be able to show me this this dish is it's not that bad and we'll do a walk-in talk let's do it
thank you so much sir I mean we can go and try to see if we're more physically
there maybe they'll it looks like they have some tables this is always how
that works you go oh what's up there's tables there why do you like they're all
We're not reserved.
Yeah.
Let me see.
What's up?
Can we do it with the students tomorrow?
No.
We're the owner.
No, we're doing it right now.
Right now you're doing it?
Yeah.
But apparently there's no table for us right now.
We gotta wait a minute.
We're live right now by the way.
I'm just letting you know.
So you do have the club?
No.
So you do have the club?
No.
We're just going to be three people in one table, but then there's a bigger group as well.
But we can get started now, and then the rest of the group can sit down later, right?
Yeah.
That's how I treat the workers.
Who cares if they're hungry?
I don't think they're even here yet.
Who cares if they're not even here yet? Who cares if they're hungry?
Oh, there they are.
Hi, guys.
Uh, I asked the owner, intercepted me on the way.
Oh, great.
And he might open up a table for us, potentially.
Oh, they do!
Oh, word, word, word.
I'm gonna head out.
Hell yeah, nice to meet you.
Thank you.
Man, you get to see you guys, alright?
It's so nice to meet you.
It's been a year.
It's been a year, right?
It's been a year.
Okay, thank you.
Wait, before you leave.
Oh my God, I'm so excited.
I'm so hungry.
What do you recommend?
Before you leave, what do you recommend?
It's grill, men's stuff, and I got no one stuck in it, I got no no no no
How many total of this?
This whole group, but we're five, six, five?
Well, we're gonna sit down and eat, they're probably, you guys are gonna eat too, right?
No?
They'll take care of it.
What are you gonna eat?
We'll get your food out, you're good, anywhere you are.
I literally just always throw up over time.
Me too.
Thank you so much.
Yeah, it's so funny because Brandon was always making fun of me for the peace signs
and we just found a picture of Mia the Kid.
Hi.
Okay, perfect, thank you.
We'll be in the corner right now.
Let's sit right here next to one another, all right I think, well we'll figure it out.
Bromkett, how should we sit here, what do we do, it's better to, yeah I was thinking we
I was thinking we sit here next to one another and then you shoot this one.
Do you want me to see my leg room?
No, no, it's fine. I'll squeeze.
How much, gentlemen?
I mean, I don't mind.
You won't be seen.
Oh, okay.
That's a lie. I'm too big.
I'm too small.
I'm too small.
Oh, we're just making it straight up there.
Wait, what do you mean?
I think it's just chasing it.
Oh, okay. We can do that.
Alright, that's fine. Let's do that.
Yeah, good.
Okay, a little bit of commotion, but hopefully you guys can hear us well.
I hope.
I'll move it closer to my mouth.
Should I do that too?
Probably.
Uh, Shaq, can you hear us well?
Flip Mike's to opposite side to your right and her left.
My left.
You can hear, sounds fine.
Okay.
Yeah, you just got to make sure this right here, see it's all right, yeah that's perfect.
Does that work?
I think it's perfect.
All right, also I'll try to speak out.
Okay.
All right, so, where were we?
Where were we?
This angle's pretty good, I mean you got it.
So, he's great. Stop yelling. Turn game down a touch please. Game...
Are we yelling?
I might be yelling a little bit too. We might be yelling a...
Yeah, you want to turn that again a little bit?
Because we're yelling to one another so we can hear each other.
This is loud.
Okay.
So, careful with the font. Okay, shut up chat. It's fine.
mine. Let me pull up my, we were talking about so you came up for SJP students for
just for Palestine, BYP 100, Families for Freedom, and the Columbia Student in
Canada, which is probably like all the most terrifying institutions, terrifying
groups that we can think of for many. Small grassroots areas, yeah.
Welcome back Democrats, pro-Israel Democrats as well. If you win, you're gonna be
joining the Progressive Caucus, that discipline Jamal Bowman, that isolated
Corey Bush and Justin Dorsey as far out over you. How do you plan on working
within the confines of the same system that is all too eager to punish
outspoken progressives? And what does DSA's Socialist in Office block give you
that they didn't have? Yeah, no, I know Greg personally, but I do criticize him
for stuff like that. You know, sorry, you know who? Craig, Khazar. I am, you know, it's not lost on me.
You know, it's not lost on me that we're going to be facing a lot of pressures in office from day one, right?
From the center, from the right. And so, you know, being in DSA, being part of the federal socialist
and office program has always been deeply important to me because I think there's an opportunity there to
have the community and the institution and infrastructure necessary to actually make
sure that we are accountable to our movements. I am an organizer and the biggest benefit
about sending an organizer to office is that we don't take no for an answer. We always
think strategically when we are from a place of unethical footing, right, where we have
to constantly think about the few numbers that we have to make an outsized impact on
the institutions that are keeping our people down, so making sure that we're organizing
inside and outside of Washington and making sure that we are using all the levers that
we have at our disposal to actually deliver for people, so that means organizing people
who are already in office, but it also means organizing our people on the ground to be
able to build the people's power necessary to show why the policies we're fighting for
need to get passed and that's you know I think that's something that too few
people in Congress actually have they they have just accepted that the system
is broken but the whole point of being an organizer is that you see that the
system is broken and you believe that something else to take its place right
and you fight for that yeah we don't just don't stand down until you get it
You are pushing, you talked about this already, a policy called Babies Not Bombs, which in
my opinion is very anti-Semitic, where you state that giving money to feed babies is
more important than giving Israel black checks to bomb Palestinian children.
Why would you rather give $800 million in child tax credits to Americans, or $800 in
child tax credits to Americans, than spend a billion dollars every day bombing Iran?
and also numerous other parts like Lebanon.
Yes, it's not just Iran or Palestine or Lebanon.
Even if it were that, that should be enough.
That should be enough of a reason for us
to divest from the war machine
and reinvest in our kids to that.
Our kids can actually eat, right?
And our parents can pay rent.
We know that when we have the child tax credit
in the pandemic, we had childhood poverty at all time lows.
We could do that again,
but we lack as people who were actually willing to fight for that.
And so, you know, the fact that our war machine is insatiable,
the fact that we're seeing these regime change wars happening across the world now, right,
is all requested of a politics in fact that our leadership has just accepted
as one to take for granted.
Okay, but what if those children that live healthy lives and grow up
With the additional tax credits that their families receive, we're off to become anti-Zionists.
Don't you feel like that's a terrifying future, a terrifying prospect for Israel?
I would say that it sounds like some of these children will be really interested in a politics of life,
in a politics of human dignity. So I think, you know, we, in many ways,
when we make these types of investments in our kids, we reap the benefits of that.
If you are investing in your kids, you're going to have adults who have had healthy childhood
who are interested in contributing back to our communities.
For me, it really starts with our kids, because everything that our kids need,
healthcare, food on the table, and education that is dignified, right?
All of those things are things that all of us need.
And our societies would simply crumble if we didn't give them that.
You were a child once.
I was.
And as a child?
I was a very cute kid actually.
As a cute child, you spent some time growing up with your grandmother in Venezuela.
I did. Not too long, however.
A few months ago, America bombed a South American country, kidnapped its president of the sovereign state,
and recently bragged about stealing its foil.
It seems likely that we're about to do something similar to Cuba as well.
If you're in Congress or when you're elected,
what will you do to prevent America's plunder of the global south,
and how will you protect the families of immigrants living in your district?
Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, the themes here are the same, right?
I'm the only candidate in this race who is adamantly anti-war.
We need to reign in the powers of this administration who seem to just be conducting these wars illegally without any kind of oversight.
And our elected officials are letting you, right? They won't sign on to any joint seclusion of these wars.
And it just to me speaks to, again, an abandonment, right?
an abandonment of principle, an abandonment of a vision for what our politics should be.
And I think, you know, the more we divert our money away from the war machine
and into our communities, the more we're saving lives abroad
and actually supporting families here.
A lot of folks here, they've lost any faith that anybody in our government is coming to help.
Because they've failed us so miserably, right?
Time and time again.
And the establishment Democrats continue to try to bring in,
in sort of tense, these warmongers,
and multinational corporations that profit from these violence,
instead of actually trying to bring in for base working class
people who are counting on them to actually deliver.
And so I think there's so much that can be done.
We can actually bring back, use the power of Congress
stop these wars and say like hey this is the legal and peach Trump impeaches the the cabinet
members that are pushing us to the war. I think one of the biggest things that we can do is we
can actually advocate to get the money that is pushing our politicians towards these endless wars
how the politics all together. There is a reason why they keep voting in favor of this war machine
right it's because of these corporate interests because of these special interests that that makes
so much money off of this machine.
Speaking of other corporate interests that make a lot of money, not from the war machine
or sometimes from the war machine, AI.
Between 30 to 40 percent of your constituents, when you're elected, have jobs or work jobs
that are susceptible to being replaced by AI.
What's your vision to protect families from having their careers stolen by them from in
the hands of some chatbot, directed by a bunch of Silicon Valley tech executives that are
socially mal-adjusted. Would you support an AI data center moratorium?
I would, absolutely. And also I think what, you know, this is reflective of is like a failure
of our institutions more largely. The fact that so many people's jobs are at risk with
this kind of technology, shows that we have not invested in a federal jobs program, that
we're not investing in the social programs that we actually need to make our lives better.
There's no shortage of projects that we could be investing in. Things like a green new deal
for public housing, things like a green new deal for public schools, right? There's so
many things that we could be putting our money towards to give people good union jobs that
won't be susceptible to this kind of technology. And also, frankly, I think in many ways this
is a bubble, right? I don't think AI is the solution to so many of the issues that we are
facing. And in fact, I think it creates an even scarier problem of thinking we're okay,
and then not actually investing in the education that we need, in the jobs programs that we need,
in the infrastructure programs that we actually need.
And I really worry that over reliant on it means that by the time we wake up to that reality,
we're not going to have people with the skillsets to actually address it.
Yeah, but AI has called me pretty in the past.
And it's sycophantic is what people say, but they're haters.
I've always been no calling people pretty on this street.
I say it's smart. What do you have to say to that?
I thought we weren't allowed to call people pretty on the street.
Yeah, no AI can call us. That's fine.
Also, the owner said that he was ordering his food, I think, but I don't know if we're...
Is the owner... Did he order food for us, or are we ordering ourselves?
Oh, I thought he already placed the order.
No, I thought he already placed it.
Oh, whatever he said. He said the mixed grill, I think.
And just, like, get whatever.
And a diet and a diet Pepsi for me if possible but that's never mind.
Alright.
Sorry.
Wow, there you go.
Man, it's hungry as fuck.
I mean, yeah, I am.
It's 7.30.
I haven't eaten yet today.
Okay, calm down.
I'm also hungry.
Yeah, load up the table with goods.
Load up the table.
Anyway, I mean, I've been staring at other people's food while you're talking while
checking the place. It looks really good. It looks fucking so good. Have you had
moved here before? I have. I had other locations that opened at this one. They just opened recently actually.
You have some interesting things as well that might come across as
surprise for others. For example, you advocate for creating a 42 hour work
with no loss in pay. So tell us more about that vision to get people more
time to rest without billionaires having to sell off their third or fourth
mechaot because I am very scared about that. How does that work? I just think so
much of our time as workers is not actually productive and we would
actually be more productive as workers if we had time to rest and be with our
families and do the things that like actually bring our lives meaning and you
know I just think overall having a more rested and happier society right is a
society that benefits everybody, it's a society that actually benefits our economy
and and also creates more opportunities for people to come into the workforce
right. It's also about like gender justice right when so many families have
to think about like childcare and what to do with like aging parents right and how much
of that labor falls on women I think that we really need to think about like this balance
right that we're like how much time we're spending with our loved ones and how much time we're spending
producing wealth for our bosses right it's not very see my grind set of you
I will admit. I'm a super grand set mindset guy, but you know, I'll take it and you're
like work at all hours. I mean, I literally do work at all hours, but I'm my own boss.
So it doesn't matter.
That is true.
Wow.
It's true.
I'm so hungry.
I have lemonade.
With mint.
All right.
We got a speed round that I'm going to ask you, which we could potentially do outside
afterwards when it's more quiet so we can get it clear.
Yeah.
But there's a silly local question here.
This question comes from the king of the Bronx, the Kid Merrill, who was going to be here today
with a ship on an advanced mission to Cleveland, so we can show support to the next.
That is actually a very important mission.
Yes.
I am a Chad Sweet Merrill.
Real New York 13 ball knowers want to know how you spell John's Fried Chicken.
Anybody over the age of 15 knows they corrected the spelling of the new sign, but do you think...
What do you think the guy's name was spelled as?
I can't hear what you're saying Bruce.
Real ball knowers know how to spell John's fried chicken.
Anybody over the age of 15 knows how they corrected the spelling of the new sign,
But do you think the guy's name was actually spelled the real way or is the new spelling
of the name fake?
And if you don't know the answer to this question, it's also totally fine.
I don't know, but I would have to hope that the new spelling is incorrect because I'm
like why would they have spelled it?
I feel like this is a...
It's not.
It's spelled as J-H-O-N.
It's spelled as J-H-O-N.
Jon Squad Chicken.
No, I know, but why would they have, you know,
why would they have just left a typo for so long?
Nobody knows.
I feel like that is like a very, I don't know,
I just feel like there, so I've seen,
I've seen crazier things in our communities.
My name is there, Lisa, so like, I have seen
a variety of spelling on all of our names.
All right, let's eat.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
He's going to forget all table manners?
I know.
This time I've done one of these, I usually try not to have food with candidates, because
I can't control myself.
And you just go crazy with the food?
And I go crazy with the food.
Honestly, I respect that.
But I'm glad that we got this.
As someone who is a foodie.
I'm glad that we got the questions out of the way.
This is exceptional.
Look at the pool.
It's so soft.
Delectable.
I'm really excited about this.
Oh, is that them?
No, I'm fine.
Have you had a coffee before?
No.
Oh
The mom is sweeter than I expected
But very good
They put a lot of a homograndom a lot homograndom molasses on it
Oh you want the
That's a great cake
Where it's both sweet and sour.
What's your favorite out of the all of these?
Mises.
I really like the Baba Ghanoush.
What?
Baba Ghanoush. It's really good.
You like the Baba Ghanoush?
I've never been that big into Baba Ghanoush.
Even though I'm Turkish, I'm not a big eggplant guy.
An eggplant is obviously a very important part of Middle Eastern cuisine.
I am. I'm one of those people. You know how there are folks who think cilantro tastes like so?
Unfortunately, that's me with parsley. And I really struggle with that.
And I just always, like, I always have to ask for the sweet to not get parsley in food, but...
Sometimes I suck at everything.
You what?
Now I'm reconsidering my allegiance.
I'm sorry.
It's a lot of drugs and it's delicious.
I don't know why.
This is a luncheon for your anti-white races.
They have to suffer.
They have to experience the same thing that white people suffer.
The hummus is really creamy and very good too.
Let's try the ziziki.
Here's your...
What's that?
I don't know, I know.
There's a really jacked guy here.
I'm not going to show him because he's just eating his food.
But I wonder if this food is good.
It fits his macros. I want to ask him.
Oh! Oh!
Oh yeah, so the jizzy tzatziki is really good.
Sometimes in Middle Eastern restaurants they dough the kick and they don't put like the
necessary garlic in it or the necessary spearmint leaves in it.
These guys, they hit it, it's sour too, it's perfect.
I turn into Anthony Bourdain on a dime like that.
I love it.
I'm gonna ask Payout Boat.
Can do multiple things, we can contain multitude.
But you don't do aclamps.
No, I still, I don't prefer it.
Like I'll still have it, I still like it.
But it's not my top priority. It's not my top reference.
Makes sense.
Oh.
It's good though, right?
That's very good.
Very, very good.
I'm glad we converted you on that.
What is this, I wonder?
Salad, cucumber, tomato,
Oh, it's just a regular shepherd salad?
Mm-hmm.
Is it lovin' us?
Yeah, it's lovin' us.
Oh, it's with tahini.
Oh, man.
This salad is just a vehicle to eat tahini
without feeling a sense of shame.
They were just down in tahini.
I just want the bottle of tahini, really.
So, I mean this might be sensitive and if you don't want to talk about it, it's fine.
But what made you convert to Islam?
I um...
It's a personal question so you don't have to...
Well, it's fine. I had actually been fasting for many years when I was on.
I just saw so many of my friends in organizing spaces who were Muslim, that's the way they
showed up.
And I got curious, right, and I started learning more, I fasted for many years, and then one
year one of my best friends was like, Darrylisa, what are we doing here?
You've been fasting for years, are you taking Shahada, what's happening?
I had a moment where I was like, you're right.
Like, why am I just not taking the plunge
and had to really think about it?
And I realized I was very nervous about going into a face
that I felt like I had so much catching up to do as an adult,
right?
And I've always been a very spiritual person, right?
like wanting a relationship with God that I felt genuine to me and I was out of
Halakha and the Imam was saying you know a large business up to us as the
most gracious the most merciful whenever you're being lost just come back to them
and in that moment I just felt like the permission to just be like all of me to
to be flawed, to be human, to learn, to come back and do better, and that I think was really
what made me feel like, okay, this is the time, and I can convert and feel that this is about
me and my God and my relationship to my own humanity, and yeah, it's just been an incredible
journey. It's actually really funny because like when I talk to folks about our campaign
or Mus'ab and they learn that I converted to Islam, they're more excited about that
than about the campaign and it's been really funny. I am really grateful for the time folks have
like really embraced me and yeah it's been a really good journey.
Oh my God.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Wow, the performance of the mesas so far, excellent.
I feel like if the mains match the intensity, sometimes you go to a restaurant and either
the apps are good or the mains is good.
Yeah.
If this place also has good maize, it's a wrap for me.
Are you just going to be coming here every time you're in New York?
Yes.
I order a lot of food, so I might just order from this place instead, because I never
know what's good in New York.
You know, I blame the rising rent on the fact that our food and just like our restaurant
full terms has really suffered. We used to have so many great mom-and-pop like
restaurants but a lot of them have closed down because of our racist rents.
We're gonna fight for them too make sure they can all thrive here. It's like what
is New York without good food and good restaurants?
What is New York without good food?
Washington, DC. Well not even. DC doesn't have any of them.
That feels insulting, I'm sorry.
New York is New York, there's no comparison.
I wanted to say Chicago, but Chicago is really good food, too.
So, there's not really-
Actually, we still have great food here.
Just to be clear, we still have great food.
Yeah, no, I know.
you know, it just breaks my heart when your favorite restaurant gets posted.
I'm glad I said DC, because there's a lot of people in the chat yelling at me saying DC has great food.
But I don't care.
If there were any city you said would have, um, not elicited a similar reaction.
Yeah.
So there's people from all around the country.
I just have a personal snore for DC.
And that's fair.
Considering the number of times you come up in conversation with DC,
Yeah, I can't get over the fact that Congress is there and some of the most evil people
on the planet happen to frequent to DC.
It's possible to be there now.
No, no.
I get invited to go to conferences and stuff like that and if it's in DC, I just don't
I was there with Summer Lee, who gave me a tour of the capital, that was cool.
What was that?
I did a January 6th tour.
She served you on the side?
Well, she didn't intend for it to be a January 6th tour.
I turned it into one.
Yeah.
I saw the Ashley Mabbitt site.
Was it everything you expected or what?
Yeah, I mean it was boring.
Well, summer's fine, you know?
She's been with the...
the bubbly prison.
Summer?
Oh, she's awesome. I love summer.
She's amazing.
Um, so yeah, we're having Israeli food.
I just wanted to say, M is real high, just so we get it out of the way.
Before we run into trouble.
What is your least favorite out of these menses?
Your line is the jujitsu.
it's the parsley I can't do it. I can't do it. I can do cooked parsley. like if it's in
food cooked it's delicious but for some reason I just I can't. It tastes like soap.
I've tried many a time. My least favorite is the the Furture.
It doesn't taste like soap to me, but I just don't really like it. It's too green
It's always tasted like soap for me, I don't know
It's always like so sad to me because you have this really sweet grandma who like brings it out and I'm just like
I'm just gonna have to eat it. Oh, yeah, and I stopped that that's that's what I'm having
And I can, you know the taste when it's like, you're like, this would be really bomb, and
not for the facts that I can't eat for a suit.
I feel like bars are in Mediterranean food.
Yeah.
Israeli food, I mean, sorry.
No phones at the dinner table, young man.
They're saying Trump is not saving my ass a little bro.
My chatters are under the suspicion that my defensive battlefront's ballroom is not going to save me from the spurn of the federal government.
It seems.
Welcome to Brawl, this um...
Yeah.
What do you think?
How do you feel about the aesthetics of the bar room?
I haven't even seen it. I have no idea what it looks like.
I don't really care about it at all. I think it's ridiculous.
It's a ridiculous initiative.
I just, I'm gonna be honest, I don't want it because I know he wants it really bad.
And I don't want him to be happy.
So that's like, I'm, I'm purely in favor of, of stopping it because it makes him happy.
There's also a valid reason.
He's like, he doesn't deserve it.
But he doesn't deserve to have something that he really cares about.
When he hasn't done his job.
But also he's doing it with our money.
Yeah, I mean, we raise money on everything, honestly.
But to make him happy in that way, even worse, even more terrible use of our money.
The way I see it, that money, any kind of expenditure,
that Trump makes, could be going to Israel to murder children.
So, I guess it's better that it's going to the ballroom, but I still don't want to have it.
That is true.
I guess ugly architecture is mitigating some harm there.
No, he likes it that way.
He likes ugly architecture.
What do you have?
Chad, if you have questions, let me know.
This guy just gonna watch us eat.
Yes. They watch me eat every day.
So this is not new for them.
I eat on stream because I'm live for like six hours and they enjoy it or even if they don't enjoy it, I don't really care.
I'm going to eat, you know. I got to use the restroom so I'm going to leave chat with you.
Bromke, you want to give her your phone so she can see chat if you want to answer questions.
I answered questions.
What?
Question about your favorite character from the Cars universe?
No, don't answer that one.
I'm giving my mic here so I don't have a pissed camera.
Okay.
This is moving so fast.
Someone said, they used to have you that Chevrolet, like Chevrolet, like the cars.
Oh, no, Mr. Cars is moving with me.
She can also follow up with me when I'm on it.
Oh, okay, now I can actually read it.
Restaurant noise gate.
What kind of music do you like? Is this to me or to Hasan?
No, no, it's all you. It's to me. Okay. I listen to anything
if it's a bomb. Like, I do not care what their genre is. If it is a good song,
I'm playing it.
Let's see.
Why are you style a mage cousin?
I don't know.
So why are you style a mage cousin?
I mean, this is the fit.
I don't know what to say.
This is the dress.
These are the sneakers.
They're real simple today.
The glass with earrings, I don't know. My style in school is Shade. I just think there's everything
That woman is just incredible the voice the style the looks all of it
Let's see
More telling me I'm pretty. Thank you. I thank you. I know we're not allowed to say that in chat, but
What restaurant this is a yes
My favorite part of New York City is New York 13, okay.
Some of my family roots for the heat, but a lot of my family roots for it.
There are fights in my family about this.
I played sports as a kid. I played soccer. I was briefly a cheerleader.
Huh? I meant, sorry? Okay.
For you, what, like, first of all, you played soccer.
Yes.
Oh.
Hello, I'm Bianca. Welcome to my vlog. You're going to have a great time.
Dari, what position did you play in soccer?
I played center dean.
And then every now and then I was like, I really like mid, left mid in particular.
Do you know who you're going to support in the World Cup?
Do you know who you're going to support?
I'm going to be honest, I have been very focused on this race and have not been paying attention to...
Senegal, you're rooting for Senegal.
Well, I have, okay, Senegal is in the race, okay, cool.
We're rooting for Senegal.
And why are we rooting for Senegal?
Because of Little Senegal.
Oh, well, Little Senegal is in our district.
Exactly.
Thank you, Bianca, for just telling me about
what's happening with the World Cup,
because I have not been following,
because I have been very, very focused on this race.
But yeah, shout out to Senegal.
My mom is home to Little Senegal,
and with other people.
And yeah, now everybody's very excited for you
to be on FedExat.
Darlie, so what's your experience been like door knocking
for candidates overall?
It's been, honestly, it's been so much fun.
I love door knocking.
It really is like the basics of organizing.
It's just like going and talking to your neighbors.
And I just have so much fun doing that.
You meet so many incredible, interesting people.
Everyone has a story.
Everyone has some weird niche thing that they're super excited about
about and like want to tell you all about it, that's really how you get to know people.
What are your neighbors telling you on the door to tell them they can't be in on the doors?
Yeah, I mean a lot of the things that people have been struggling with are the things that
you know I myself have struggled with as a person who lives here.
I am somebody who really had to think about like whether I can afford to stay in the city I love.
I'm somebody who has had to deal with my students coming to me wondering, you know,
anxiety thinking I'm going to penalize them as their teacher for things beyond their control like the fact that some of them
Have had their apartment flooded or like you don't have stable housing. You don't have access to their next meal
And so, you know a lot of our community is really struggling around this immigration and around access to the big crime housing
and
you know for me this campaign was really important because it was an opportunity to
highlight
all of those struggles and how our leadership has really made the style of politics that we have
so inaccessible for them. And making sure that we're building something else.
Folks are like, you're a teacher, chat wants to know.
Yeah, I taught for many years at Lehman. I was also a TA at Barnard and NYU. I love teaching.
Teaching. I love organizing and I love teaching in the same way that I love organizing because
I really do think those things like are like very similar and go go together
Hello
I think every bathroom in New York should have bidets
All right
I'm going for you legally now. I asked this to Zora. Yeah, and he said yes, too
It hasn't happened yet.
It hasn't happened yet. We're going to have to...
Whose favorite drink?
Okay.
Thank you. Uh, what is it?
Didn't you say I can't spin in men's drinks?
Not at all.
It's minty. It's like a very refreshing lemonade look man, but it's also not like aggressively
You know, I like it.
He told the whole restaurant to stab me with a bidet in there.
No, I did it every time I go.
Well, this is because it's a Middle Eastern restaurant.
So my expectation is that it would have a bidet.
So I pay extra attention when I'm in a Middle Eastern restaurant.
And then I was reminded that I asked Oran the same question as well.
And yet we still don't have the days I was sitting.
That's where I saw her on.
Insha'Allah very soon.
Your days are numbered.
We have to figure out maybe there's a federal funding situation there.
I don't know.
I just think that would make everybody's life better.
Yeah, he's over here working on child care, yuck, or balancing a $12 billion budget deficit.
Who cares?
Where are the bidets, man?
I mean, hygiene is a priority, so.
What?
Hygiene is a priority.
I just love that Bianca just keeps this on their hand.
29 days, 1 hour, 3 minutes and 54 seconds.
And so Espey Off is primaried out.
I like it.
I
Have you interacted with them at all since you guys have it
Came up to me once out of Egypt actually and shook my hand and then I ran away, and I was like, okay
This is at wait at a what event I eat it. Yeah. This after start running. Yeah. Yeah
It was a bit it was very strange because like
Like, we were, you know, I was there with a bunch of folks that I was in community with,
who were like, come out.
And so, he gave like a speech there, and it was so strange because he just started fearmongering
about ICE.
And I was like, do you know what Eid is?
Like, do you know that this is supposed to be like a happy celebration?
like it was also very strange because you know there yes there are a lot of
immigrant Muslims in the community but there were also a lot of black American
Muslims there who are very proudly like have been here for generations are like
descendants of black American like enslaved people right and we have been
here literally like building this city from the ground up and it just showed
He has no understanding of the community that's here.
It was a sort of strange experience for like, here and then him just like, we, right after.
And, I don't know, it was...
What are some of his big endorsers and big allies so far?
You know, he's getting a lot of like, more institutional support, right?
We kind of expected that going in.
But you know I knew that like an insurgent race we were gonna have to build up
our coalition for the roundup right and you know I was fortunate enough that like
I don't even know that it's fortunate I think it's actually just like the work
that I've been doing previous to this right of like being organizer that we
had a lot of relationships already to make you know those connections with the
folks in our coalition who really excited to support us.
What are the polls looking like right now?
Do you guys have internal ones or not?
So we had one that the city reported on in the end of March
and it shows what we've known is that when folks are about our race, we win.
And so, you know, that's really what we're trying to get folks to do, to get out and get the word out.
On the informed ballot, you beat them.
Yeah.
But without the, was it an Uniform Ballad?
I believe it was what, 20 points or something?
No, not even, it was a 28, 42.
That was blind ask.
And that was back in March before we even went up on air,
before we got a lot of the major inversions that we've gotten.
And so we're really, before the New York coast was like
giving me some more name ID there and.
Yeah, I don't think I realized that.
That kind of stuff actually is very beneficial.
Yeah.
They aren't giving them any pointers. They should do that.
They should talk about how you interacted with a dangerous radical.
But, hopefully...
You know, I think folks are like...
A lot of people in the district are feeling like our race is getting overlooked in the same way that we always feel like we're getting overlooked, right?
Like, this is the district that...
And I don't even think I have anything to do with who the candidates are.
I think it's that people dismiss us, out of the community.
Like they really only look at us as though we are statistics, right?
And never think about the people who actually live here who, you know, are the ones who
are every day waking up before the rest of the city to make the city run.
And, you know, I'm just sick and tired of the politics that takes us for granted, that
you did us as seats to warm in Washington instead of actually fighting for our communities.
Especially in a district where so many incredible organizers have come from, like you have the Panthers, you have the young lords organizing here, you have Malcolm X, you have so many incredible people, James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, who are coming out of this district, influencing so much of our local and global politics, and still we get overlooked in every level.
What?
Sorry.
No, you're good.
Sorry.
What happened?
Oh, Ayat is hosting a free community dinner this Friday at 7pm.
And all proceeds are going to Hinn's mom and the family.
I wanted to inform you guys.
Thank you.
Let's go.
I thought there was like real-time news happening or something.
We've also apparently seen a self-defensive strike according to the American military.
What do you mean?
What's that?
In the straight of heart goes.
Right, yeah.
Anyway, sorry. I was looking at some additional information, but it's not relevant. Where
are we? We're talking about this district. Yeah, who's your favorite thinker or activist
come out of this. That's hard actually. There are so many incredible people here you know
I think the thing I love most about the city is that you can't really walk a
single block without like running into the history of the city right and like
seeing it right in front of you like you know in Harlem I am like you walk in any
direction you're either walking by Langston's Houston's house or you're
walking by the hotel Teresa or you're walking by you know just like any Harlem
where the young lords were organizing or like the people search there right
There's just such a rich history of organizing and things like speakers that come out of it, like Audrey Lorde over at PCNY, like, you know,
Zaronia Hurston, like Ella Baker was organizing here, you know, Malcolm X.
So many incredible people have come through this city, but, you know, but Uptown and Bronx in particular.
Um, and it's just everywhere, like you really feel it.
Do you feel like...
Give me this one, give me this one.
Yeah.
Wow.
Oh wow, okay.
It's so good.
Oh my god.
We'll just show it to chat and then we'll get it later maybe.
Oh this is the mixed one.
The mixed grill.
Is this all my food?
There you go.
This is just lamb?
That's the man sa, yeah it's lamb.
Oh, this is what he recommended me get.
Yeah.
The man sa is really good.
I've never had this before.
Oh.
Yeah.
Well, I've had the Turkish version of this, but it's not as saucy.
It's not as saucy, no saucy?
I don't hear you.
Okay.
Oh.
Oh no!
Oh my god.
You got it?
I saved it.
You did very well, actually.
I don't know how, but very limited.
Thank you.
I think we should get some of this.
I'm shoved in a very small corner here in town.
Can I move this a little bit?
No, it's fine.
It's like a normal rest.
I just feel as someone who is significantly shorter, that like, it's unfair that I have
as much space as I do.
Oh, that's not Gloober.
Oh, wait, we've got to show that too.
That's not Gloober.
It's not Eggma.
This is really good.
Oh no, another Mickey Mouse actually in life.
So good.
Alright, I'm gonna have to take a bite of that.
Oh my god.
So you're gonna eat all day?
No.
I'm very glad we came here.
here. Is this your first meal? Yeah. Oh my god. It's incredible.
Does it just go to the travel? Yeah, I had a lot of stuff going on.
So definitely try to make it as well. Do you want to stop this out of the park?
I want to try the mixed meal.
No, no, I can just get up here.
Oh my God.
I saw a small bomb.
I just lost my bomb.
I usually do eat one meal a day.
Only one?
Yeah.
Or sometimes two.
Why?
Better portion control.
You're not really exhausted by it.
I'm used to it.
I don't know why, like you get used to fast things.
Well, I'm a lot easier for you than what you're talking about.
I'm not a very good muslin.
I'm a very bad muslin.
Yeah.
I'm a very good Muslim on shit that things that Muslims don't care about, like usury, no stocks.
But, I know everything else.
Now, Allah is the most gracious and the most merciful.
That's my bet. That's what I say.
I'm like, who'd be chill?
Okay, the lamb is not normal, but it's out of this world, it's so soft, what's it called?
Mentsa?
Mentsa.
The basic mix grill is decent, but it's like pretty basic, it's the same everywhere.
But like, it's not even on the same playing field as the lamb.
I should definitely try the McRubber.
Let's do it.
Oh, yeah, that's a different sauce.
This is for the men's fat.
This is eggplant, chicken, potatoes.
This is rice.
base and parrots and some parts of Palestine and like other parts of the
bot will do like cauliflower. There might be cauliflower in this one actually.
But it's holding my glue back because it's upside down. You flip everything.
I feel like Israeli's haven't stolen this one yet. No I don't think I don't think they have. I've never seen an Israeli version of it.
quarter-frozen really.
Macruba.
Oh my.
Isn't that good?
Yeah.
The potato has a...
almost chocolatey appetite.
There's the spice on the...
the spice on the rice.
It's really good.
I need to have that protein.
I'm not getting enough protein.
It's my biggest problem when I travel.
I don't get to work out because I never have time,
because I'm doing so many interviews and stuff.
Can you make up for that with a protein?
What?
Can you make up for that with a protein?
No.
You don't have enough protein.
I don't have enough protein.
He's going down verbal check
This is my first fucking meal of the day bro, give me a break
Honestly, I really think that if the food is good there has to be some silence at the
table
Like, it's not a great meal unless people stop talking, so...
That's how you know that shit's bomb, dude.
Okay, um, my rankings...
My rankings are a lamb, number one.
Mixed skill number two and then this is number three.
Really?
Yeah.
I like the lamb the most. It was like, clearly.
Clearly
What's that?
It's hot as hell in here.
Whoa
An asset?
That's important
Let's see how Palestinian Baghlava is, I don't know.
Yeah?
Is it Palestinian Baghlava or is it Turkish Baghlava?
Oh, okay.
She said, is Palestinian Baghlava Turkish coffee?
I don't know what that means.
I've never encountered this Palestinian Baghlava.
For me, it's a food anthropologist. Everyone knows Bakurba is Turkish and not Greek.
Branden approves of this food clearly.
We aren't going to box a box of crispy cream.
Oh, it's not in a box.
But like, but like, well, it's not hungry.
It's not in a box of crispy cream.
I'm screaming.
I also had to have a box of crispy cream.
I was also hungry, first of all.
I'm eating good now.
That's all that's left.
Oh, yeah.
How many of my employees are here?
We try to beat each other on this campaign actually because everything is still go, go, go all the time that we like alternate on who's responsible for getting food for everybody.
Because otherwise...
We struggle.
You want it?
Oh.
What is our menu, Gaby-Chap?
What's chat saying?
They're doing Coke first, which is a little cat that does a line of coke.
a little kitty cat you can't really see it here and they're saying time for
dessert I hate crispy cream because it's too good and I could eat it
they're saying yep now they're all doing sin bird which is the same kitty
cap but with my face eating is in and they're posting I don't know how to
show it to you it's like you have to look at it closely
yeah why why is the little cat doing coke why is the little cat eating Tylenol
like a big-ass pillow that is the mother actually question why is it eating a
Because it's an autistic cat.
Bert. The Bert. Bert is a baby cat.
And as a baby cat, a kitten.
He's having a lot of Tylenol and he's becoming autistic.
Oh, I understand. I understand now.
I don't know. I just, Bert isn't at it.
There's apparently one where he does fentanyl too, but I don't think we have that.
I'm very worried for this little guy.
There's also a chat that does the scuba dance, she'll hurt this.
Have you seen that one?
Also the intensity with which they wanted you to show me that is great.
I appreciate that.
You're embarrassing us? You should be embarrassed.
Chat.
Hear it. I run an autistic daycare.
Well, why is this embarrassing?
Be yourself. Be yourself in the chat.
Fox News is so using this.
Fox News is what?
They're saying, aim no way.
This is the guy.
Fox News is constantly vilifying.
Look at this one.
Erica Kirk, Druski.
Y'all are funny, I will say.
Don't, don't.
Don't encourage them.
They're gonna be fucking unbearable now.
Also, you're lying.
I will get banned if I be myself.
Yeah.
Well, that part's up to half an hour, I'm sorry.
I just walked by and saw you.
Rose, way bigger in person than I thought,
and he looks big on the street.
What the fuck was that?
He was very tall, I will say.
Oh my God.
Yeah, my chat is embarrassing.
You what?
I said my chat is embarrassing.
Now they're spamming tiny head emotes.
They said have a tiny head.
But it's not. I don't have a tiny head.
Really, actually honest.
She said wide shoulders.
I mean, I never thought you had a tiny head, but the fact that everyone is saying this is like very complete. Like why? Where's that going to go?
I think when I sit down on the broadcast and you hold these in my shoulders and in my head, maybe it presents a weird image.
It's like lower, and so your shoulders are broader.
Maybe.
And if I do like your head.
Well, I can confirm that in person. His head is proportional to his shoulders, so.
Thank you. Oh my God. You're very welcome.
Oh, no, no, of course I am.
So you gotta adjust the angle. I was just close to endorsing.
You gotta adjust the angle on your camera so that I could go coming down.
You won me over.
Wow, hype training is starting to, damn.
Hey, Pilbium, no. No.
What? She's running for Congress. What are you talking about?
Hey, no. This is, she's honest.
I can't hear what he's saying.
They're saying this is fake propaganda.
That I paid you to say that.
I would never, I would never take money to be bribed.
I would never be bribed, never be bought.
But especially not to lie about them like that.
Yeah, that would be the funniest and silliest thing.
Wow, I really loved her too.
She blew her credibility like that.
By saying my head's not small, it's fucked up.
another 20k down the drain oh my god i'm there's no way i can eat anymore by the way
i can try the dessert but if they got like another thing and chicken coming i'm not gonna be able to eat
that
Wow, then are you sleeping? No, I mean, I slept like 10 hours last night. I had to do a shoot all day. Yeah.
Yesterday I had to do the live stream and before that I did a photo shoot and then after that I did another photo shoot of the same magazine.
There was a nighttime portion of it. So I didn't get down until like 12.
What's the magazine?
Are you all excited?
Yeah.
They did Mahood as well.
Yeah, I saw that.
The same guy, he's very talented.
Yeah.
So I'm very excited.
It's leaked, I mean it doesn't matter.
I was actually just not telling you what magazine it is
for funsies chat.
Yeah, it's not leaked.
Oh, yeah, and then tomorrow, I'm doing a Trevor Noah and Samar's Zimmerman's podcast.
Beyond Israel is a good podcast, though.
Beyond Israel is a good podcast, though.
I love Samar. She's great.
So what are your days like you just walk us through the world walk us through the game of life
That's so I'm running for Congress every day is really different
some days
Sorry
Every day is really different some days. I'm
you know going from
community events community events or
canvassing or
Doing a lot of fundraising
You know, one of the things that we were talking about earlier was with the fundraising, is that as a working class candidate, you have to just sit and do call time and call folks to get them to support the campaign.
And one of the most frustrating parts about that to me is that because of the influence of money in our politics, it means that you take so much time away from actually talking to voters about the issues that matter to them.
And there's just no way to build a competitive campaign without doing that kind of fundraising.
But, you know, each day is different.
Some days we're on phones, sitting together.
Other days we are, you know, talking to folks about what their needs are on the day-to-day.
What are the policies that make their lives harder, that make their lives easier,
and how do we push the policies that actually make things better for people here?
You just go sometimes when you wake up in the morning and you're like,
eh, I'm not going to do it today?
No.
No?
No.
You're like, you're like, this is like an all gas, no brakes situation, right?
We got 29 days till the election, um, and you know, from the very beginning,
I knew that this would be a really hard thing to do, but it's something that I've
been incredibly honored to, to have people trust me with, right?
This is something that I was nominated for, just as them drew data to me, because they said that my community had nominated me to do this, and the fact that so many folks trust in me with it is not something that I take lightly.
That's cool.
A lot of work, I won't lie. It is every single day as a grind, and it's work that I'm really grateful that folks have trust in me with and that folks are willing to put into themselves.
Are you guys, are you getting a good amount of,
how does the DSA stuff work?
Are you getting support from DSA New York City?
Yeah, absolutely, DSA has been out.
New York City DSA.
They've been supporting us on a number of things
on the campaign, including with canvassing,
and building our field operation.
We have some incredible field organizers on our team.
Also with, you know, doing like those small dollar
fundraisers across the district, across the city.
And also just building, like, doing the work
of building the infrastructure day-to-day, but this is really like a
coalition that we've really built out of like local organizations like our
time community Democrats, you know Justice Adams who were the ones who asked
me to consider running, you know, Jewish Waste Reprise Action, Palpat, a number of
different organizations that have really come together to help make this possible.
I truly would not be able to do any of this without all of them, because just as a working class candidate there's so much stacked against you.
But we've built out an incredible campaign that I'm really proud of and the folks that, I'm really proud of the folks who've come into it.
That's cool. What do you watch? Do you watch TV?
Well, not really.
What do you do about entertainment?
What I do watch to me my favorite TV show right now is Abadal Mentri. I think it's one of the TV shows that actually like
Makes you like belly laugh. Uh-huh. Have you seen it? No, I mean I know of it. I haven't seen it. I haven't watched it
But I know like I've met
Quinta before yeah, she was at Buzzfeed. She has hilarious
She was pretty funny back then as well
I don't know, I haven't watched the show. Wait, was Djibouki on it too?
He was, yeah.
Yeah, it's a great cast. What else do you watch?
I watch a lot of...
What do you do to entertain yourself?
I literally watch Love Island or things that help me turn off my brain.
Like surely sometimes I just like need to turn it off.
Uh huh.
Um, I don't know, I like go out really in the city.
Are you party?
I'm not party party.
I feel like I left my party girl stage behind me, but like I mean like I go out in the city
and hang out with folks like different things.
I love, we have a lot of really incredible museums here.
Yeah.
Um, and a lot of really, now that it's like nice out, the, a lot of the gardens are so
nice.
Yeah.
Just like hang out in.
I think like touching grass is so underrated, especially in like the city and I think it
is not a lot of time in parks and I think more people should go to the museum.
The museum of the history of New York, sorry, the museum of the city of New York is one
of my favorites.
The studio museum of Hilo is like my favorite I would say.
Yeah, we tried to go there, but yeah, it's incredible.
They just, yeah, well they just redid it.
Yeah, but they wouldn't have us.
Yeah, I know. I love the go.
So they're dead to me.
I still love them. You should go.
They're dead to me.
You should still go next time you're in the city.
My mom loves New York and loves museums.
Yeah.
And she's an architecture historian, art historian, and specifically with folks in architecture.
She used to teach at MJIT.
A lot.
And now she doesn't teach.
Yeah.
But she loves New York and specifically the museums.
They're a great museum.
It's so she'll appreciate it. You said your favorite is the studio?
Studio Museum.
Okay.
Yeah. It's so beautiful, the new building. They have like a rooftop terrace now. You can
see both sides of like from either side of the building you can see all of Manhattan.
And it's incredible.
My mom, I jokingly say, wanted me to be gay and like tried to make me into a gay man.
Uh huh.
And part of that was always taking me to museums but mostly opera, Broadway, musicals.
So you associate the arts with being gay?
No, I mean, I drew my whole life, so it was important to me.
But I just hated museums for that reason.
I like it more now, now that it's like up to me.
I can't believe there's another, I can't.
Yeah, yeah, you guys gave in.
That's a very big plate.
We saw so much rice in that stuff, though.
Oh, shit.
Brandon is very sad that the plate was just thrown in front of him.
We're going to go to El Vario.
Metcoysters.
There is the...
So, Espanico, is that the one on the 50s?
Um, kind of big world.
What's your favorite museum?
She asks what's your favorite museum?
Museum of New York outside of the Studio Museum?
Well, the Museum of Studio New York.
They have a really great exhibit called
Activists New York.
That's really fun.
There's, I don't know.
I really, I love, I don't know, it's kind of, she's going to say,
I do love the Met, they have lots of incredible exhibits there.
The Brooklyn Museum is a lot of fun.
I like the Met.
Yeah.
What's your favorite wing in the Met?
What's my favorite, what?
The wing in the Met.
My favorite wing in the Met?
I don't have a favorite wing.
OK.
That's a crazy question.
Mine is the Impressionist, so.
Oh, my mom would love that.
I have no, like I said, I have no dog in this flight at all.
You're just like the Museum, it's good.
Yeah.
Cool, I'll go.
Just to see it.
Yeah, National Downer Awards.
Yeah, I mean, the thing about it is that artists
are really in the front lines of how we think
about combating fascism, right?
And it's no shock to me that the second folks
who are fascists get into office,
That's the first thing they cut, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And now, I mean, even fascists initially had futurism, but we have our own version now.
It's AI art.
Modern fascists don't even have like an artistic expression that is organic that's like born out of this movement.
So even fascism is a more reduced version of itself.
Yeah.
There's nothing. It's awful. You alright?
How are you all?
Brandon had his last plate of chicken and it was like, I'm good.
You want me to get an FI?
No. Nice to meet you man.
Well, you need a mic.
You forget it.
Alright look, check. If you're in New York 13, Harlem, the Heights, Inwood, West Bronx, all that.
Vote for Dari-Lisa on June 23rd.
Early voting starts June 13th, 15th.
Early voting starts at some point before June 23rd.
This is why you only get to box the Krispy Kreme's for food.
Nah look, this is true. Now you got me.
That's why they cut your food.
It's true. Now they cut my pay, they cut my food.
We need money. Give us money so we can get more than Krispy Kreme and I can learn with what day early voting starts.
Please. Alright, that's it. Bye. Good night.
I promise to make sure everyone in our team eats.
Oh my god. Oh my god. Okay. Bianca has come up with this.
Yes.
The Bianca has come up with an icebreaker for our team.
That is, if you had to pick which one of these you would be, which would you be?
A rat, a roach, or a pigeon.
Oh, nice.
And the white, right, it's very disgusting.
Like, what about it?
I don't know why they decided to go with all of them.
I mean, I just, Edgy?
White pigeons.
You don't like that. Why pigeon? Because it's the rat of the air.
I agree. I agree. But why?
No, I like to have... If I'm going to rat it up, I like to do full spectrum coverage.
I'm not just ratting it up on the ground. A rat can only squirm around on the ground.
A pigeon on the other hand can be a threat in so many different camps.
I will say, the number of times that a pigeon has just flown into my head is just amazing.
Or shit.
I don't know what it is.
Pigeons can deploy unguided gravity munitions.
They can drop shit on your head.
You're just an agent of chaos is what you're saying.
Yes, I feel like it's a much more...
It's a multi-tool, multi-faceted rodent.
Space rodent.
You can't make the game up and also be this angry.
If you want to explain why you're with us, how you want me to explain why.
Okay, I will, practice this by saying I am absolutely terrified of roaches and rats.
I think like I just cannot be in a space with them.
but I would be a rich simply because if they were like end of time like we're
just would still survive and I like I just feel like I've got that kind of
spider fear in me like I would I would survive that you know and yeah but they
can't get survived being stepped on
you just saying I see a word that's stepped on
so okay Bianca's about to explain why rat is the right answer to this this
All right, let's hear it.
Also, you want to say hi?
Oh, yeah.
Hey, I'm Russ.
Go for that or you need some.
What do you do?
Okay, we're back to the rats.
We're back to the rats.
We're back to the rats.
We're back to the rats.
First of all, you've got uptown rats.
You've got downtown rats.
It's called Variety, number one.
Number two, they love to scurry.
Number three, people are like actually scared of them.
You encounter a rat when you're not expected to it.
It's a fucking problem.
Even when you are expecting it, it's still a fucking problem.
I disagree.
You disagree what?
I don't think rats are scary.
Well you live in LA, don't you?
Yeah, there's big ass rats in LA too?
No, it's not me.
My mom freaks out about rats.
Like, she zero chill when she sees the rat.
I think they're like a smaller raccoon.
Who cares?
I think I'm a raccoon.
No.
You're a raccoon.
You're a raccoon.
You're a raccoon.
You're a scary raccoon.
Very, very, very few.
But the right answer is rat.
Hidgen is the normie answer.
Yeah, I'm a normie.
Okay, well, I guess that ends that conversation.
Yeah, I like that. I'm a normie.
Is the president you've been called a normie?
No, I've never called a normie.
I think I have a good answer for why it's a pigeon.
Do you want to drop the bombs on me?
Yes, I can shit on people's heads,
and I can go to most places that rats can go to.
I'm I am literally a flying rat bird flu
Okay, yeah, yeah
We're gonna be more devastated in the wild plague if if if they tried hard enough and I would organize my fellow pigeons
To destroy the planet out of Hitchcock's birds terrifying
You really enjoy like dystopian novels and really stuff like that?
Maybe.
Have you seen Silo?
I didn't like it that much.
Oh, okay.
You watched Silo?
I was lost when I saw that dystopian show.
And I normally loved dystopian future flicks.
Like one of my favorite movies, even though it's a dog shit movie, is Elysium.
I don't see this.
What's about Elysium?
Elysium is Matt Damon's movie about a future where like all the wealthy are living in this
like Anarchal Capitalist Society. All the normal working class people are being
dominated by robots. Artificial intelligence robots are like forcing them
working factories. Matt Damon has an immediate relative I think who has like a
life like a debilitating injury or some some kind of health complication. And he gets it in his head that like all the billionaires
the superwell they live in space, in a space station. All the humans are stuck on the planet and he gets in his head that he wants to like
bring this relative to that space issue because they have med beds like the ones
that Donald Trump talked about or you go into this med bed and then you get
healed it's just like accelerated capitalist dystopia I like it a lot
I'm waiting on the name of it now like Mikey 17 yeah Mickey 17 I think that it
was alright. I was kind of under one line. I also think that what's the space to
really get actor? Robert Pattinson. Yeah, they're really good actors but it was
actually I think that director's worst work.
Was he also the one who did parasite?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was awesome.
Sorry, you're crazy in subway story.
I'm crazy in subway story?
There are so many.
There was, I was actually on the train
when that blackout happened a few years back.
Oh, yeah.
I don't even remember, it was hours.
How did you do it?
Was it hot?
I was on the train.
Okay, so the blackout was like around it was in midtown and we were between I was taking the A from like 125th
downtown and so it was that stop between 1592 and 125th and
All of a sudden we just stopped underground no service. No one knows what's happening and we're all just there for hours
No, luckily the
Luckily the
Somebody's right there
I like it so much.
Whose birthday is it?
I have no idea.
I like it so much.
Here's one.
Yeah.
How do I feel about astrology?
Wait, I didn't touch my subway stand.
Oh yeah, go ahead, sorry.
It was so crazy because we were there for hours and there was a girl who really had to pee.
So she popped the squad?
No, the literally desired train was trying to figure out how to help this poor girl because
she had nowhere to go.
So did she pop the squad?
No, so literally the entire train was trying to figure out how to help this poor girl,
because she had nowhere to go.
What are you doing that situation?
Well, this is what we did.
So the girlies teamed up.
We bought a bunch of jackets.
We took it between the two cars, and we just blocked everything.
That is on mutual aid.
So we all came together.
We helped our girl out.
She got back on the train and was like,
It was a beautiful moment when New Yorkers were coming together, but it was a reality.
How was there one woman who needed to be?
I think honestly that is the craziest part of this, because it was a past trade.
People probably pissed themselves.
Thankfully, they did not tell that.
But no, we were just traveling.
We just used to be.
They put the trains together, and then we ended up just walking down multiple train cars.
and we got to 59th Street and it was like pitch black.
So, that's what it was.
What was it?
What happened?
I don't know, there's just some kind of, some kind of
lockout.
Yeah, and then I couldn't tell anybody.
I was meeting my friends.
I couldn't tell them what was happening.
Everyone, I got out of the train and I just had
a million checks, like, are you alive?
What was happening?
And yeah, I met Chuck on his phone, absolutely.
Yeah.
Anyway, are you into astrology?
No.
No?
Do you know your signs?
Well, I'm a Leo.
Okay, I see that.
What does that mean?
What does it mean?
I mean, the fact that you have one of the most viewed Twitch streams is very Leo-putting.
Okay.
What is your sign?
I'm a sedentaryist, but I'm a Capricorn rising.
What does that mean?
So, SAD is very, we're nerds, but we're also like wanderers, which can mean we like to travel,
but also we like to explore different ideas.
And then Capricorn, I'm very type A. I am always working in some way.
And, you know, very serious about the work that we do.
Typical Sagittarius. I have no idea what that means.
Someone said I'm a Typical Sagittarius.
Yeah, but the new said I have no idea what that means.
We got Turkish coffee.
What does Capricorn rising mean you said?
Type A?
Type A.
I was always like the...
I can't even do this without...
You want me to do it?
Yes, please.
These are the angles there.
The angles there.
The cam.
They're very pretty.
You want more?
Namukha, do you guys want one?
No, I'm okay.
Okay.
Last time I was in Mahmood, I put water on it and it freaked out on me.
You put water on the coffee?
And he won't, he won't never let me live it down.
Every time I've seen him since, he's been like,
remember when you put water on your coffee?
What the fuck was that?
Actually, that is kind of crazy. Why would you do that?
I always do that because like, it's too cold, it's too warm.
Too warm?
It's too warm?
It's too hot
That sounds disgusting, I'm really sorry
It's just funny that he like
Had just gotten out of prison
He looked at me like that was the most horrifying thing he had seen in months. I do think it's kind of
Crazy that you did that. Are you gonna do that now? No, I'm just gonna wait
But I stand by that. I think like a little bit of water and coffee is fine.
Do you just make yours more diluted?
What?
Do you just make yours more diluted?
Yeah, it's fine.
No, I mean I always do like Nespresso's the same way.
Like Nespresso's are very, they're already heavy.
Yeah.
So it's fine if you dilute it a little bit.
a little bit. It's an americano. Right? Would you ban zins? Would I what? Banned zins? I'm
asking for myself. It's a coffee nicotine pouch. I actually don't think I've seen this.
You've never seen this zin? I don't think I have. Damn. Interesting. It's a nicotine
It's not even there's no tobacco. It's just like it's like a snus, but
We're just nicotine
So do you know beyond Leo what else did we victory on no I have no idea but chat might know
Oh, they probably already have your first time
I think it's coming in a chat hazard.
Yeah, what's my birth chart?
So you're really into astrology.
It's a lot of fun.
Okay.
You believe in it?
I mean, to the extent that you believe in anything that can just be a mirror to think about in life, you know?
I think Chani is really great actually.
So shout out to her.
There's a website.
That's your job.
Oh, they already had it.
Let's see.
Okay, you're meeting with Capricorn.
What does that mean?
That you also share some Capricorn traits.
You're sending the old movie Capricorn.
Where's your assignment?
Does it not say?
see it. Oh yeah, because we don't know what time it is.
I feel like I've reviewed that information before.
But I guess not.
Yeah, what's my ascended?
I bet you can just ask him this by yourself.
Yeah, what time was I born?
Did they get it?
I think your mom said 11.01 p.m.
Not your mom said.
Yeah, my mom, yeah.
Did she come on the stream and say that?
Probably. I don't remember, but...
It's good.
I need you to water it now.
No, no, I don't need to water it down. I always water it down for
For how hot it is
I'm fucking dying stop entertaining this
It's on need some water to dilute his coffee
No, it's on you said it before 806 p.m
Does it 11 or is it 8? I don't know I
I don't know what that means anyway.
I mean your mom's gonna be like, what astro girlie is asking you about your birth time.
But it's really the chat, everyone wants to know.
She's used to it.
Did not have full chart verse on on my list.
Did not have what?
Full chart, full birth chart.
Yeah, there's like people that do my birth chart.
on the internet.
Like they'll do a zodiac stuff.
They'll do different celebrities, as I put it up there.
Yeah.
I don't know what it means, but they say nice things sometimes, so I'm happy about it.
I have a same big series, Jane Fonda, which I've always thought was great.
She's interesting.
She's one of the coolest
but on Israel she's like
which is so strange
How do you handle a J and then you're like pro-Israel
How's that possible?

Yeah, yeah, and we have our, we have very devious ice cream merchants that trick people, and
it should be illegal, but it's not.
The trick of child like this.
I've had many formative memories reaching out for a cone of ice cream, only to have it
taken away from me.
It's devastating.
I know I'm working that's right. Yeah, that's why I developed my anti-capitalist anti small business
Yeah, anti antique bourgeois
mentality
That's crazy, I know but it's too much. I don't think we have room on the table
I love doing it.
This is way too much.
Yeah, I don't think we can.
I don't think I have to.
Oh, my cousin always says dessert builds in the second summer.
But it doesn't matter how full you get, there's always room for dessert.
I want to be a veterinarian. So if I had gone down that route, if I had gone down the route of being a veterinarian, I would know about the number of stomachs I have.
So what, what did you study?
Um, in undergrad.
Undergrad, I studied middle-aged studies.
And then for grad school, I studied sociology.
I was looking at sociology and deportation.
No wonder you're so woke.
Sociology, the woke science.
We gotta stop it.
You know?
We gotta put it down.
I mean, didn't you say down what?
No, it didn't say down.
But they put it under, yeah, essentially there.
Conservatives, yeah.
Yeah.
Good.
You shouldn't even need to learn about the Middle East,
honestly, unless you're learning about Israel,
which is the most important country in the Middle East,
I think.
And only learn about it in a good way.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's what I say.
Do you want to go to a DSS play?
I love all the mirrors in DSS play.
Who's your least favorite? And why is it Orkin?
I'm kidding.
What I will say, I have known a beer the longest.
And so it was just like really exciting when we both realized that we were both nominated to run in our districts, right?
right and like moving at each other like having major decision yet and so that's you know that's
the kind of bonding that I don't like to be here most people get we met through organizing
doing a lot of organizing we do very similar organizing around immigration justice around
We just like cross paths and not that way.
She's dope.
Yeah.
Yeah, I love a beer.
Pause it.
Wait, someone else found my birth chart.
Okay.
Birth chart.
Chad is searching for his birth chart.
We're going to figure out what his birth sign is.
I honestly can't. I wouldn't have guessed the copper porn moves though.
I think. Why?
There's this, and then you press it again, and then you press the bottom.
I'm so full.
Aries rising.
That does trap.
What?
Aries rising, Leo sign, Capricorn rising.
Okay, so I am also a double fire sign, Capricorn rising.
What does that mean?
So, I am a sanitarious sun, Leo moon, Capricorn rising.
you are a Leo Sun, Aries Rising, Copper Corn Moon. So, Sagittarius, Leo are both and Aries are all fire signs.
What is that? But like, give me the qualities, what does that mean?
Like, fire signs are like, you know, like energy, energetic. And you like also like are in some, in many ways like dynamic.
Like people like feel like drawn to what you have to say or like, to you generally.
And then cap for corn is very like much a hard worker like we kind of like go
through it in life a lot so like learn the lessons from the from the very
beginning but generally that also means that we like become really good at what we do.
Because like we go we learn every single lesson that there is to learn about that
I feel like I keep repeating the same mistakes so I don't know how well I learned.
You're learning from every angle about it.
All fire signs, crazy mama.
I'm not all fire signs.
Let's go. I think it'd be cool if we were.
Oh, all right.
We need fire signs in office, actually.
All right.
That's what's going to make us have fighters in office.
Darrylisa, before we end it, I have like a speed round of questions I'm going to ask you.
Let's do it.
We'll just do it here.
I know I said we'll do it in a more quiet place, but honestly, I was lying.
It was because I was very hungry and I wanted to eat food.
And there's a lot of dessert fell in front of us.
So I'm just going to ask you, speed round.
Rabbit Fire, do you support Medicare for All?
Yes.
Universal childcare?
Yes.
Abolishing and prosecuting ICE?
Yes.
Raising taxes on billionaires?
Yes.
Raising the minimum wage?
Absolutely.
Implementing the Green New Deal?

Ending Citizens United?

Nixon Ford, A poll from March had you within striking
distance of Espeyot, and you've made some ground since then, but there's still a
while to go, a ways to go. Polling shows you beat them by 11 points. Once voters
hear about what you have to say, so in a informed poll, you all of a sudden beat
them by 11 points. Where the people hearing about you for the first time
today, what do you want them to understand about your convictions, and also if
they like what they have to hear, how can they contribute to the campaign?
Yeah, we are fighting to create a politics of life instead of the politics of death that we've had for so long.
To make sure that we actually have representation in Washington that is fighting for our people and not for their donors.
That's why we're fighting to win housing for all, so that their baby's not bombed and to abolish ICE.
And I think this election is incredibly important. This election in this district in particular,
Because it matters not just that we send Democrats to Washington, but the types of Democrats that we send.
And apparently it's somebody's birthday again.
That's awesome.
But yeah, I think it really is important that in this district, we have the opportunity to take out APAC and corporate funded incumbents.
And to show that the less can come together and do that.
And it's going to have a ripple effect all across the country.
It'll be like every day of the birthday.
And it would be like every day is your birthday.
Yeah, they're clapping for you. They love you.
So yeah, please come knock the doors.
Help us get the massive out. Please, please, please.
If you're able, donate whatever you can to help us win this.
And yeah, thank you so much.
Yeah, no, this was great. Thank you so much for coming on.
Yeah, of course.
Do you want to come to us?
Yeah.

this side. I'm speaking to that. That's the mic. Hi. Hi. So my name's Hanifa Abarzi. I'm head of
communications for Ayat. So happy to have you. We're all about community and intersectionality
and supporting one another. So we're so happy that you could come and have this conversation here
today and celebrate our opening at Hins Hall. Obviously we, Abdul El Anani, the CEO and
founder opened Hins Hall to honour Hina Rajab who was killed by the IOF. So this place really
represents the loss of innocent life everywhere in any kind of genocide conflict. So really
we're all about community and coming together and so it's great that you guys
are here and you can have us and we're spoiling you with all this food and
Hassan you should be used to this kind of Turkish hospitality. It's true I am but it's still
it's still tough to put it all down. What was your favorite meal? It was the lamb.
The lamb? Yeah that was insane. Okay the month. Yeah I like that the most for sure.
the mezzas were really good too. Sometimes I feel like I was saying this earlier if
the apps are really good then the mains are not and if the mains are really good
the apps are not but this place have both for sure so it was excellent and the
desserts were excellent too. Everything was great I don't know what to say it's
awesome. Thank you. And you guys have something that you're doing right at
community dinner? Yes so we're hosting a free public dinner on Friday May 29th at
