[00:11:00] you
[00:11:30] you
[00:12:00] You guys coming to you live from sunny California, Los Angeles folks were live at alive at 71 degrees and sunny here in Los Angeles, California on stolen Tongva territory.
[00:12:14] We are live. We are alive. It is 1104 AM on this beautiful morning of Thursday, June 4th, 2026. I hope everyone's having a fantastic one because today's a beautiful day.
[00:12:26] a wonderful day. No China suit today. No, they're at the dry cleaners because they all came in packaged.
[00:12:32] And of course, they got smushed up a little bit in the package, but you know, we'll do,
[00:12:38] we'll do it tomorrow, maybe. But we are alive. We are alive. Ladies and gentlemen,
[00:12:45] you already know what it is. This is part of the broadcast where I tell you about my personal news,
[00:12:49] about what's going on in the world of the Zanahansan. I'm a piker in between the time period,
[00:12:51] where I press the stop streaming button, press the start streaming button. So help me God,
[00:12:54] that's what i'ma do. you already know though i'm a chud ass loser as always end of the broadcast
[00:13:04] yesterday and what did i do? end of the broadcast yesterday and what did i do? well of course i watched
[00:13:12] I watched New York Knicks take on the spurs.
[00:13:20] I watched the game unfold and let me tell you something.
[00:13:29] Let me tell you something.
[00:13:37] the longest. We're almost the entire game. The spurs were ahead by 10 points, sometimes
[00:13:48] seven points, sometimes 13. And then, and then that man, that man,
[00:14:00] Jalen fucking Bronson. That man. Where? Where does he get the authority? Where does he get
[00:14:26] the power.
[00:14:33] What is holding the New York Knicks together?
[00:14:36] That's the question we will try to address today because I think it's voodoo.
[00:14:43] I'll say it.
[00:14:44] I think New York has had it far too good for far too long.
[00:14:54] Neff will say it's the power of friendship, but is it the power of friendship that caused
[00:14:59] Zohran Kwame, Mamdani's electoral victory as the mayor of New York to go up against
[00:15:07] such tremendous odds?
[00:15:16] Is that what it is?
[00:15:19] Is it socialism?
[00:15:22] Is it the proletariat rising up?
[00:15:24] What is it that New York gets to have it all?
[00:15:29] And we here, the tireless, dispossessed masses, get nothing but crumbs.
[00:15:39] How is this possible?
[00:15:45] Why?
[00:15:48] Why? Why is it allowed? Does New York have the mandate of heaven, not the mandate of
[00:16:05] heaven, but the mem date, the Mamdani date of heaven? How do they get to have working
[00:16:14] public infrastructure, potholes filled, 200,000 new units being constructed,
[00:16:24] Moundana Stan is alive and well, everyone's having fun in the goddamn city
[00:16:31] and what are we doing? What are we to do with the rest of the country? There are
[00:16:38] hundreds of millions of us and we must suffer every fucking day
[00:17:08] It's unbearable, man. It's un-fucking-bearable. California's left counting ballots to make
[00:17:33] sure we don't accidentally elect fucking Republican cranks while New York parties in the streets.
[00:17:37] Oh, that's how I feel. That's how I felt last night. Look, I, I love Wembley. I'm a, I think
[00:17:46] the spurs are a great team. I just, I feel like they're the underdog. Like I have the
[00:17:51] root for them.
[00:17:52] It's ironic to say this about, uh, the NBA, because the spurs are objectively not the
[00:17:57] underdog against the nicks. The nicks are the underdogs team, the underdog team. Last
[00:18:02] on during the finals is 1999 against the Spurs. Once again, haven't won anything in, in decades,
[00:18:09] right? At least the Spurs have a, have a chip of a, you know, far closer to 2026 than the
[00:18:16] the next two, right?
[00:18:21] But it is fucked up.
[00:18:25] It is fucked up how much New York is up.
[00:18:31] And I'm sick and tired of it.
[00:18:33] I'll just say it, when New York is up,
[00:18:35] it makes me feel like we're down, okay?
[00:18:43] When New York is up, it feels like we are all down
[00:18:46] by comparison.
[00:19:00] When Bayama struggling against Kat,
[00:19:06] where's the Jalen Brunson stopper?
[00:19:09] Where was it?
[00:19:10] They tried to injure him.
[00:19:14] They tried to play physical ball.
[00:19:16] tried to destroy Jalen Bronson twice. And he said, I'm Teflon, baby. It's fucked up again,
[00:19:27] fucked up, fucked up, actually fucked up.
[00:19:33] Mero, living your dream. Yeah, no, Mero, someone in the chest said, Mero brings all his bitches
[00:19:40] the same spot is true. Look, you guys might recognize this little corner, because Merrow
[00:19:50] has got one motherfucking spot in the city that it seems he brings all of his besties
[00:19:59] too. Where was my invite, Meryl? Guess it got lost in the van. I'm just kidding.
[00:20:15] I thought we were special. I thought we had something. I thought we had vibes. I thought
[00:20:24] you were showing me your secret spot. It turns out this spot is ran through. You're taking
[00:20:34] everybody there. You're taking everybody there. You got Dario Lisa. You got Zoran.
[00:20:54] messed up, messed up. Both Trump and Zoran are going to be at game three. Yeah, you know
[00:21:02] who else is going to be in the same arena? Me, it's going to be in town next week. This
[00:21:09] is, I will also be inside of Madison Square Garden on game three. Donald Trump, Zoran
[00:21:19] I will be there as well.
[00:21:24] This will probably be the first time that I am ever in the same area in the same space
[00:21:32] as the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump.
[00:21:35] Ain't no way you getting in if Trump is there.
[00:21:37] No, that's not how that works, okay?
[00:21:41] For the next game, are you planning to meet with him when he's in town at any point?
[00:21:46] I can tell you that I'm planning to go to the next game.
[00:21:50] I will be at game three.
[00:21:54] I will be in a very different section of the stadium.
[00:21:58] And I think we look forward to welcoming any New Yorker who
[00:22:03] is excited for the next to have that chance
[00:22:05] to win that championship.
[00:22:06] President Donald Trump is going to be in town next week.
[00:22:11] For the next game, are you planning
[00:22:12] to meet with him when he's in town at any point?
[00:22:16] I could tell you that I'm planning to go to.
[00:22:25] Don't do it, don't go.
[00:22:29] James Dolan has you on the list.
[00:22:36] Three top five picks, best player since Wilt Champagny,
[00:22:41] legacy game, the power of friendship.
[00:22:43] I mean, it's true.
[00:22:46] It's true. I mean, look, they did it. They did it. They the spurs were dominant
[00:22:53] The spurs were dominant as fuck. Okay
[00:23:00] The spurs were unbelievably dominant throughout the process and then third quarters things start changing and you're like, how is this?
[00:23:06] What's going on? What the hell's going on? How did they catch up? And then by fourth quarter? It was
[00:23:11] I mean, let's be real when when be on it when be on it was was brick city. I don't know why he was laying bricks
[00:23:17] I
[00:23:18] Don't know what the hell happened. Everybody was bricked the fuck up. I've never seen
[00:23:25] Desperation kick in so hard
[00:23:29] I've never seen desperation kick so hard for such a successful team
[00:23:35] team. Kat carried them. Wemby is young. Yeah, I, yeah, he couldn't, he couldn't put up big
[00:23:43] purr, big purr. He did. He did. This also makes Holmgrim look so much worse. Chet and
[00:23:55] yahoo this makes him look way worse overall because like he made he made
[00:24:03] wemby look he made wemby look like a god which you know I mean he is right but it
[00:24:15] turns out he is defeatable like he is man he is still man he is not he is not
[00:24:22] not just a God, an alien of freak, but he can still bleed like a man.
[00:24:29] And bleed he did.
[00:24:34] So we shall see how when he comes back, obviously, anytime he gets hit in the face, he comes
[00:24:43] back extra strong.
[00:24:45] He unlocked some kind of like, you know, secret monk knowledge that he got in a monastery
[00:24:51] Somewhere where he just like has that dog and he taps in and he usually comes back with avengers. We saw this
[00:24:58] with the Thunder
[00:25:04] But I will admit watching Wemby get bitched around a little bit
[00:25:10] It hurt
[00:25:11] It hurt right here. It hurt in my soul and in my heart in my mind it I
[00:25:16] I guess we just got to get used to things like that. I mean I saw my goat Lebron get
[00:25:25] swept by the thunder. Already that was devastating. Now I just have to sit there and watch Wemba
[00:25:35] Yama. I have to deal with Kat and it's not great. I will tell you it's like we already
[00:25:43] We have so little in this country.
[00:25:49] It feels like New York has everything.
[00:25:58] Why can't the rest of the country have a little bit, just the crumbs?
[00:26:03] What happened to socialism?
[00:26:06] What happened to redistributive policies?
[00:26:09] What happened to egalitarianism as a concept?
[00:26:14] What happened?
[00:26:15] Why does New York get to have it all?
[00:26:24] It turns out, New York said socialism in one city, socialism in one nation, no international
[00:26:33] socialism.
[00:26:37] in one city, no permanent revolution, no permanent proletarian revolution, certainly no international
[00:26:45] revolution, just socialism in one place and one place only.
[00:26:50] We get to get, we get to have all the goods, we get to have all of the expensive social
[00:26:57] safety nets. We get to have a walkable city, public infrastructure expenditures.
[00:27:08] And now, nicks in the finals.
[00:27:16] It's unbearable. Folks, it is unbearable. I'm following for this trot take. Chill. Chill.
[00:27:27] chill
[00:27:35] At least the rest of the country gets to have certain things like South Dakota
[00:27:42] South Dakota gets to have to be dirty
[00:27:46] In the gubernatorial race in the general which as you know, that's my boy. I'm supporting to be dirty
[00:27:51] And in Los Angeles, what do we get?
[00:27:57] What do we get in the state of formerly known comaphonia, now known as cattlephonia?
[00:28:03] What do we get?
[00:28:06] What do we get?
[00:28:10] Big dumps, a long and convoluted voter tabulation process, diarrhea forever.
[00:28:21] gets a puppy on the one side diarrhea forever on the other and we choose diarrhea forever
[00:28:36] I guess we get good weather even though climate change is taking that away as well
[00:28:43] Oh my lord what do we get
[00:28:47] why are new yorkers making everybody jealous outside
[00:28:53] i'm gonna get a brunster egg and cheese hold the dick and balls you are
[00:28:55] that ass bro make my shit right you are that ass bro come here i'm taking you to new york you
[00:28:59] for me you're out let me get a brunster egg and cheese hold it
[00:29:04] a brunster egg and cheese
[00:29:10] it's true it's true
[00:29:12] Unbelievable is fucked up and I'm sick and tired of it
[00:29:29] Check previous you need to see this please watch Bosnia's official World Cup song most Balkan thing you've ever seen
[00:29:37] Okay, we'll look at it in a little bit house war powers vote
[00:29:41] California dumps. I'm homophobic. Question mark. Lego madness. Epstein's theory day 97. Wars back on.
[00:29:49] Nick's one. Get in now. New York times is about to drop a big story on Platinum. Yeah, I know. And
[00:29:57] the big story, I've gotten some details on. There's some speculation that it's about a right wing
[00:30:07] operative ironically enough but the New York Times of course is gonna did you
[00:30:15] cop one yet the means work where yes I did I did I did cop it of course did you
[00:30:21] see what happened in Pasadena last night
[00:30:26] what happened video for
[00:30:29] Councilmember Rick Cole here in front of the former St. Luke's Hospital where the US Army is conducting a training exercise in urban warfare.
[00:30:40] What?
[00:30:42] You can hear flashbangs and simulated gunfire going on.
[00:30:50] They're going to be going on for the next half an hour, we're told.
[00:30:53] It's 1 a.m.
[00:30:54] We're in the middle of what is normally a quiet residential neighborhood.
[00:30:59] Homes literally across the street with people trying to sleep.
[00:31:03] The Ranger helicopter just dropped the soldier.
[00:31:07] What the hell?
[00:31:08] They're similarly attacked from the building,
[00:31:12] and this is gonna go on for a while.
[00:31:15] And good luck to the people who gotta get up
[00:31:18] and go to work tomorrow.
[00:31:23] Why are they training inside of American cities?
[00:31:26] I mean, urban warfare training is not normal part
[00:31:28] of the process, but why are they training inside
[00:31:30] of an actual American urban environment?
[00:31:34] Rather than simply training at the training facilities
[00:31:37] they have set up urban environments is that I mean maybe it's normal I don't know
[00:31:45] bro these motherfuckers really don't give a fuck about poor neighborhoods in California goddamn
[00:31:48] wait Pasadena is not a poor neighborhood that's why it's crazy
[00:31:59] Pasadena is actually a very wealthy neighborhood not a poor one
[00:32:03] Pasadena is rich.
[00:32:13] Patrick Pitt David the numbers guy was brainbroken by Mehdi you were mentioned I know I know I
[00:32:18] am aware I this happened a couple days ago Mehdi told me already we will be watching
[00:32:25] we will be watching.
[00:32:28] Don't you worry.
[00:32:29] Uh, Emma Numbers guy gets defeated.
[00:32:34] Emma Numbers guy gets defeated by the real debate guy, uh, who doesn't chat GPT it, but
[00:32:39] he doesn't grok it, but we'll take a look at it.
[00:32:42] You know, obviously, obviously Emma Numbers guy, um, so yeah, a lot going on in the world.
[00:32:54] We are going to be talking about it.
[00:32:56] We are going to be chat GPT'ing it. We are going to be, we're going to be, uh, uh, doing
[00:33:02] the numbers.
[00:33:03] And no blast off on Insta. Yes, there is a blast off on Insta 25 minutes ago as a matter
[00:33:12] of fact.
[00:33:14] But, um, yeah, I did hear democracy now, um, talk about me this morning while I was
[00:33:26] listening, which was an interesting experience. And I will be on Democracy Now tomorrow, so
[00:33:32] that'll be even more interesting when I hear myself on Democracy Now. Democracy Now, the
[00:33:39] warm peace report. I'm Amy Goodman. Okay. Anyway, we're blasting off, ladies and gentlemen,
[00:33:48] Before I forget, we're blasting off, we're blasting off.
[00:33:52] Javier Bardemri posted me, shut up.
[00:33:56] Pegasus cooked you, hell yeah.
[00:33:59] Pegasus is back.
[00:34:00] Pegasus needs to worry about the Singaporean government
[00:34:03] coming after him, I'm gonna be honest with you.
[00:34:08] Yeah, we're gonna do political, hold on.
[00:34:09] Political I did an interview with.
[00:34:14] Pegasus Dick Riders in the chat, shameless.
[00:34:18] Even the economist was defending you and Jenkins to use a UK visa revocation.
[00:34:25] Yeah, we got the Times article as well.
[00:34:27] By the way, I don't think you guys understand.
[00:34:31] This is a very conservative newspaper.
[00:34:34] The Times is a very conservative newspaper.
[00:34:37] So the fact that the Times actually had me on their front page and a photo of me with
[00:34:43] But the queen with X's on her eyes is wild.
[00:34:50] This is the type of shit that these guys actually do care about, okay?
[00:34:55] That's like exactly the type of shit that they care about that they get mad about.
[00:34:59] Remember these are the good times, the golden era, the Hassanabah broadcast.
[00:35:02] Can we get a gay rights to beat the homophobia?
[00:35:04] Yes, gay rights and gay wrongs.
[00:35:06] I do believe that this visa revocation actually backfired because I think there is a limit.
[00:35:30] There's a limit to like what these guys find to be appropriate as far as limiting speech.
[00:35:35] If you do that to Kanye West, who is a fairly indefensible figure because of his admiration,
[00:35:41] his expression of admiration for Adolf Hitler, obviously, not a lot of people are going to
[00:35:46] criticize or complain.
[00:35:48] But when you do this to a political commentator who has actively fought back against anti-Semitism,
[00:35:59] like right wing, uh, against the right wing forces in general, I, I think people look
[00:36:08] at that and go, all right, this is a bridge too far.
[00:36:10] This is fucked up.
[00:36:13] Cause it's, it's super basic.
[00:36:17] It's a, this is one of the easiest bars to clear.
[00:36:20] And yet of course a lot of the right wing charlatans, uh, have not been able to clear
[00:36:25] this unbelievably simple bar, which is, if, if, if I'm getting, if I'm getting barred entry into the UK, then
[00:36:34] I mean, what are we doing? Everyone else, everyone is, right?
[00:36:38] Javier Bardem reposted a soft speech on his Instagram story. Oh my god.
[00:36:53] We're going places.
[00:36:55] Yeah, I think the Oxford clip of you calling out anti-Semitism really broke through. They're
[00:37:04] using it to show how stupid I, they're using it to show how stupid I was. What do you mean?
[00:37:11] You were, you got more publicity than if you were just in the country, Jack, Zach Polanski
[00:37:16] reposts as well. Yeah, because it is stupid. It's stupid to do this to someone like myself
[00:37:21] is unbelievably stupid. Right? Because like, I'm not, I'm not an anti-Semite. I, I fight
[00:37:29] back against anti-Semitism all the fucking time. So obviously, when you, when you turn
[00:37:34] around and you're like, Hey, this guy was actually in the country, like not that long
[00:37:39] ago. And he was supposed to go to the Oxford Union. He was at the Oxford Union, not that
[00:37:44] long ago. And he was straight up fucking talking about the dangers of like rising anti-Semitism.
[00:37:50] All of a sudden, it destroys the counter narrative. It destroys the argument that like, I'm this dangerous anti-Semite, because that's what they've been running with, right?
[00:38:03] Why do you care about the Oxford Union? It's literally just a temple to bourgeois free speech idolization.
[00:38:15] Um, do you think the UK would let a trans woman use their women's restroom if she was Israeli? What are you okay chatter?
[00:38:23] I mean free speech is
[00:38:26] Still an important value that I care about I'm not gonna just cast that aside by saying it's just mere bourgeois
[00:38:32] idolization it's fucking idiotic
[00:38:35] especially because
[00:38:37] Not only is it a value that I care about not only is it a right that I would defend but it's also one that we need to have
[00:38:43] okay that we need to maintain you need to you need to stop being fucking weird okay
[00:39:04] you need to always exhaust all readily available options okay and free speech
[00:39:09] And and free speech protections is one of those one of those very important
[00:39:15] Principles that liberal society is supposed to defend
[00:39:20] Are you not afraid be real? No, of course not. I mean it sucks. It's annoying, but obviously I'm not fucking afraid dude
[00:39:26] What do you mean? This is this is my life. This is what I signed on to do
[00:39:30] Okay, I know that it's not gonna be easy when you're fighting for something worth fighting for of course
[00:39:35] They're gonna make it as difficult as possible for you
[00:39:38] But you can't, you can't give up, you know, you can't give in. It's that simple.
[00:39:44] I will not let them fucking win. And I hope that the way that I keep pushing through offers more
[00:39:58] moral clarity and more courage to others as well. You have to be stubborn about these issues.
[00:40:03] There have been many times. There have been many instances where I've thought about quitting, right, over the last couple of years. Why the fuck would I do it now?
[00:40:19] Why would I do it now? When the collective consciousness has shifted on this key issue?
[00:40:29] Guardian wrote another article. Arwa Mahdawi wrote,
[00:40:38] Why is the Sampakar not conductive, conducive to the public good?
[00:40:42] Because on Gaza, we punish the witness, not the crime.
[00:40:44] time. It's ironic because, again, these are literally, this is a photo from The Guardian
[00:40:52] when they wrote a profile on me in The Guardian. So like, all of this other stuff that they've
[00:41:01] written about me is now coming back to haunt the British government. This is why I do all
[00:41:06] of the media whenever they ask me to do it. This is why I call it terrorism insurance,
[00:41:12] right? Ironically enough, I know that eventually, if you're using your speech in a way that is
[00:41:20] disruptive to the established hierarchies that want to maintain the structural violence,
[00:41:27] want to maintain the structural violence of poverty, want to make sure that the system continues.
[00:41:33] As usual, no matter who is suffering in the crosshairs, eventually they're gonna come for you.
[00:41:41] eventually they're going to come for all of us. So all of this anti-Semitism insurance,
[00:41:46] terrorism insurance from ahead of time is now coming back to haunt the British government and
[00:41:54] maybe the American government as well if they try to move in a similar direction.
[00:42:11] But it's good, it's important to hold firm in moments like this.
[00:42:31] Keep fighting for each other and not against each other.
[00:42:36] Yeah.
[00:42:37] Anyway, the Times also wrote this article, Hassan Piker, the UK ban me for criticizing
[00:42:43] Israel is discussing one of America's most influential left wing streamers, tells the
[00:42:46] Times of his disdain of being put in the same category as Kanye West.
[00:42:50] Hassan Piker, an American socialist influencer with more social media followers than most
[00:42:53] European newspapers, had his tour of British institutions mapped out, a debate at Oxford
[00:42:56] Union, a speech at South by Southwest London Festival, then possibly a photo shoot at the
[00:42:59] tomb of Tom of Karl Marx at Highgate Cemetery.
[00:43:03] That was what I was supposed to do with the Times, ironically enough.
[00:43:06] We were supposed to do a times interview, and then they were going to shoot me at Karl
[00:43:12] Marx's home.
[00:43:14] However, his plans were put on hold when Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary banning
[00:43:19] from entering the country on the basis that his intense criticism of Israel meant his
[00:43:22] presence in Britain may not be conducive to the public good.
[00:43:27] Piker is not the first contrarian figure to be given the treatment in the past few months.
[00:43:30] The home offices revoked the entry visas of a dozen celebrities on the other end of the
[00:43:34] spectrum, including American rapper Kanye West, uh, Slovomir Mensen, one of the leaders
[00:43:39] of the con, uh, confederation of radical right wing Polish party.
[00:43:42] However, Piker, who spends eight hours a day streaming to his followers from a mansion
[00:43:45] in Los Angeles is appalled by the implicit comparison.
[00:43:48] I think it's disgusting because I've opposed the far right and all manner of reactionary
[00:43:52] thought my entire life and I will continue to do so.
[00:43:54] Piker 34 told the Times, I find anti-Semitism to be morally repugnant.
[00:43:59] I've spoken out against anti-Semitism extensively in all sorts of bigotries, really Islamophobia,
[00:44:03] transphobia and the like. To be categorized in the same vein as an anti-Semite and a
[00:44:07] person who's openly stated that they admire Adolf Hitler is disgusting,
[00:44:10] Piker said, but I think the reason why they're doing that is to create at least
[00:44:14] some kind of ideological parody. This is something that liberals love doing. They
[00:44:19] love to make it seem like there are extremists on both sides and they
[00:44:22] oppose extremism on both sides. Piker does not believe his views are
[00:44:26] extreme. Instead, he is adamant that it is precisely because they are not silly
[00:44:29] that they caused a stir. He would vote for Hamas over Israel.
[00:44:34] Piker is described by online trolls as the intellectually destitute person's idea of
[00:44:39] a clever person. To others, he is the left's riposte to prolific mannisfur influencers
[00:44:46] such as Andrew Tate. In the attention economy, controversy is a currency in its own right
[00:44:51] and Piker is an accomplished provocateur. He once notoriously said the U.S. deserved
[00:44:55] the 9-11 terror attacks because of its military interventions in the Middle East, including
[00:44:58] support for Israel. He defended the Chinese annexation of Tibet and once suggested that
[00:45:01] Dan Kresshaw, Republican Congressman and Navy SEAL veteran, had lost his eye to some Mujahideen
[00:45:06] and brave fucking soldier. However, he's best known for his tirades against Israel, which you
[00:45:11] described in a previous Oxford Union speech as an apartheid state and a settler colonial entity
[00:45:15] that was conducting genocide against the Palestinian people. Remember, this is a right-wing newspaper.
[00:45:19] Of course, they're going to write like this. Why is this on Edgar? Because it's virtually
[00:45:25] impossible to fucking get the article. There's a serious paywall. And I don't think we can
[00:45:33] actually boomed the paywall at all.
[00:45:54] The Tibet annexation really? Yeah, I mean, they're not going to hold back.
[00:46:01] You know, they're going to make me look like a dangerous guy or dangerous radical, whatever.
[00:46:05] It doesn't matter.
[00:46:06] Zwing, Thomas, thank you for the 22 gift to subs.
[00:46:16] Cover this vote to fuse Israeli and US military in Congress right now.
[00:46:20] I know, I know, we are, I have covered it already and I will continue to cover it.
[00:46:26] Yes.
[00:46:27] Massively important vote happening live link below on the question of effectively merging
[00:46:30] the Israeli and U.S. militaries. I know. So, where were we? However, he's best known for
[00:46:47] his tires against Israel, which he described in a previous Oxford speech as an apartheid
[00:46:52] state and a settler colonial entity that was conducting genocide against the Palestinian
[00:46:56] people.
[00:46:58] Piker also said in a podcast that he would vote for Hamas over Israel every single time.
[00:47:03] He claimed his remark was a thought experiment intended to highlight that once a group was
[00:47:06] designated as a terrorist organization, a vague definition to deny habeas corpus in America,
[00:47:10] the conversation was effectively over.
[00:47:12] He disagrees with the characterization of Hamas and Hezbollah as anti-Semitic, maintaining
[00:47:16] that there are nationalist anti-colonial movements.
[00:47:19] Are there atrocities that have taken place in the hands of Hamas?
[00:47:21] Absolutely.
[00:47:22] Are there war crimes?
[00:47:23] Certainly.
[00:47:24] said that, however, there is no analysis that you can conduct about the reasoning behind
[00:47:27] why Hamas was formed, how it has evolved over the years in its militancy, going from exclusively
[00:47:32] targeting military targets and civilian targets to many conversations that have taken place
[00:47:36] within the Palestinian resistance about the efficacy of targeting civilians beyond the
[00:47:39] morality of it.
[00:47:40] I obviously find it immoral unconditionally, but I'm talking from their perspective, right?
[00:47:45] Piker said he had resorted to provocative language on the subject such as claiming that
[00:47:49] Hamas is a thousand times better than Israel in the hopes of forcing liberals to discuss
[00:47:52] the moral balance between Israel and Hamas. He disagrees with the characterization of
[00:47:56] Hamas and his Bola as anti-Semitic, maintaining that they're, wait, what is this? Oh, this
[00:48:02] is the same thing again. Okay, never mind. UK justice, vicious as America, decision to
[00:48:08] bar Piker from the UK, shocked, from the UK, shocked to him while he makes no secret of
[00:48:17] the fact that he is not a liberal, not because, not at least because he rejects the notion
[00:48:21] that people are free to accumulate wealth, he said he thought Europe would have more
[00:48:25] respect for free expression than Turkey where he grew up.
[00:48:27] I've always believed perhaps falsely that especially Europe is at a commitment to this
[00:48:29] fundamental humanitarian principle of free speech, he said.
[00:48:33] That in spite of the disagreements, no matter what, as long as someone is not genuinely
[00:48:36] citing hatred or trying to actively foment violence, that most reasonable people in governments,
[00:48:40] especially in Europe, will always say, look, these are disagreements that we have, but it's
[00:48:45] a little ridiculous to deny them their opportunity to speak.
[00:48:48] After Trump's mega, mega movement to power, he said, many conversations in the US shifted
[00:48:52] towards where people might escape if things go really bad, but his father advised him
[00:48:56] that Britain could potentially provide asylum.
[00:48:58] I kept telling him that's not going to happen because they are just as vicious, if not more
[00:49:02] vicious than America, he said.
[00:49:03] This is the country that has offered shelter to many thinkers who were even considered
[00:49:06] radical at the time.
[00:49:07] For that country to decide no, I think you're far too dangerous to come speak here.
[00:49:10] I think that's a sign of the times.
[00:49:12] Cockroach, Nigel Farage.
[00:49:14] biker traces britain america's political trajectory to the
[00:49:16] tap uh... thatcher reagan era
[00:49:19] which he says trapped the left in culture was austerity in privatization
[00:49:22] while creating fertile ground for populists
[00:49:25] that's why you
[00:49:27] see the likes of nigel forage
[00:49:29] who almost like a cockroach he said
[00:49:31] who's almost like a cockroach he said
[00:49:33] you just cannot get away he's with the numerous adam bombs at this point that
[00:49:36] would have destroyed any other person's career the brexit fiasco or even
[00:49:40] literally almost dying in a plane crash reforms and objectively fascist
[00:49:43] far-right party that didn't happen overnight i do think that the labor
[00:49:47] parties played a formative role in the development of fascist politics in this
[00:49:49] country because of their inability to address the economic crisis that people
[00:49:52] were facing the same problems exist in the democratic party
[00:49:59] biker claims capitalism as long outlived its usefulness is a progressive force in
[00:50:02] history and will evolve into either socialism or barbarism he believes the
[00:50:07] west is moving towards the latter fascist he says may preserve the
[00:50:11] capitals order only through unbelievable levels of state repression as
[00:50:15] frustration with wealth inequality grows life of a jet-setter he does not see
[00:50:19] this cop this as a contradiction with his wealth park is Los Angeles home worth
[00:50:23] more than three million and funded almost entirely through audience

[00:50:33] frequent travel designer clothing and dating adult film performance he
[00:50:37] acknowledges an immensely privileged upbringing bringing despite his
[00:50:40] family's later financial difficulties is the son of Turkish immigrants' success reflects
[00:50:45] a version of the American dream.
[00:50:48] It feels like I won the lottery.
[00:50:50] I never thought I would have hundreds of, where is this, oh, it feels like I won the
[00:50:56] lottery.
[00:50:57] I never thought that I would have hundreds of thousands of fans all around the world
[00:50:59] that voluntarily give me $5 a month to watch, Piker said.
[00:51:02] I mean, I work very hard.
[00:51:03] I live stream every day for eight hours, seven days a week.
[00:51:06] But that's not the reason why I'm successful.
[00:51:08] i think luck played a major role in this so i tried to advance a different
[00:51:11] understanding of an organization of the economy overall so that people don't have
[00:51:14] to be immensely fortunate to actually get a crumb of this american dream
[00:51:20] moving to the mainstream until recently few would describe piker as a mainstream
[00:51:23] figure in american politics outside of outside it inveterate the online

[00:51:30] president trump in the twenty twenty four presidential election also subscribe
[00:51:33] to the people's people's broadcasting service by broadcasting service sponsored
[00:51:37] by you, the people, for you, the people, $6 a month
[00:51:40] in your subscriptions, voluntary subscriptions,
[00:51:43] voluntary donations to support independent media
[00:51:45] is what sets this, keeps this operation afloat.
[00:51:50] just tuned in. Is this a hit
[00:52:06] piece? Well, it's a right wing
[00:52:07] publication. So it's, it's, you
[00:52:10] know, positioned negatively.
[00:52:18] It's in the story WAPO racing to get it out as well. I'm here is more than one woman
[00:52:22] What is this they're about to say Platner essay to woman? Are you saying this as something you heard will be in the story?
[00:52:27] I don't I don't think that that's what's gonna happen, but I
[00:52:34] Wouldn't be shocked
[00:52:37] But we'll get in we'll get into all of that in a little bit when it when it comes out anyway, let's um, let's continue on this
[00:52:45] Let's focus up
[00:52:48] All right.
[00:53:08] Where was I moving on to the A-Stream?
[00:53:09] Well, there's no formal affiliation with the party.
[00:53:11] Several of his prominent left-wingers, including AOC and Anomar, have appeared on his Twitch
[00:53:15] in an effort the court is fan base.
[00:53:19] This is given Piker's pronouncements
[00:53:21] a measure of influence over the party,
[00:53:22] including his endorsement of socialist challenger candidates
[00:53:24] such as Zoram Mdadi who invited him
[00:53:26] to the victory party after winning
[00:53:27] the New York City mayoral election.
[00:53:28] Piker has crossed swords with the Trump administration
[00:53:30] and Fox News, which has cataloged
[00:53:32] his more extreme statements.
[00:53:34] My opinion is the majority's opinion
[00:53:36] and they can't arrest every single person, right?
[00:53:38] Piker said.
[00:53:38] So they try to make an example out of members of the media,
[00:53:40] prominent critics of Israel to the best of their ability
[00:53:42] to hopefully get others to pay attention
[00:53:44] and to create as we like to say in america a chilling effect on speech
[00:53:48] after delivering humanitarian aid to cuba with the new estra america convoy
[00:53:53] in march parker was investigated by the treasuries office of foreign access
[00:53:56] control
[00:53:57] the agency subpoenaed financial records over whether the trip breached u.s.
[00:54:00] sanctions price of the pro was politically motivated and intended
[00:54:03] circumvent his first amendment right to free expression by pressuring him in
[00:54:06] the silence
[00:54:07] he compared to the whole counterterrorism initiative the sebastian gorges
[00:54:10] shepherding
[00:54:11] referring to trump's combative senior director for counterterrorism
[00:54:16] people of all political persuasions that encouraged him to run for office over
[00:54:19] the years by proclaims
[00:54:20] however he believes that doing so would ultimately be detrimental to his
[00:54:23] broader campaign to reshape the american left
[00:54:26] and that u s voters are not ready for his radical brand of politics on the most
[00:54:29] pro op on the most op a research content creator on the planet he said
[00:54:32] alluding to the practice of digging up dirt on rival politicians
[00:54:35] i've seen what it takes to actually run a much time and effort it takes
[00:54:38] i feel like i can lend credibility to certain politicians that i like
[00:54:41] and actually be able to advance the movement rather than the simply run
[00:54:43] for office
[00:54:44] for one race with no guarantee that i'll win
[00:54:53] chad the news didn't even drop it yet your fucking drama spiraling over what
[00:54:56] he might have might not have done shut up i'm timing all of you out yeah we're
[00:54:59] not
[00:55:00] we're not doing the grand planner
[00:55:03] OPPO piece or hit piece yet.
[00:55:09] Everyone needs to fucking dial it back a million, a million times.
[00:55:13] Okay.
[00:55:18] Did you think about doing this feature web call easy and effective
[00:55:21] work around against their infamous ban?
[00:55:22] Yes, I will be.
[00:55:24] Well, I will be doing that as a matter of fact.
[00:55:27] I will be doing that.
[00:55:33] With the Oxford Union and with the Honest River Fox as well. I'm doing both of those. Those are still continuing. Anyway
[00:55:40] My interview with Politico is out. This is by Will Steakin
[00:55:45] Who's now at Politico?
[00:55:47] He reports, Hassan Piker declares, I'm not a kingmaker after his candidates struggle. Now, I don't really like the
[00:55:54] the angle of this article as much because
[00:55:59] he does allude to
[00:56:01] me, you know, pushing for Tom Steyer or Nithya Raman, which, you know, I didn't do into the
[00:56:07] same degree as, you know, Shoyka Chakrabarti and, you know, Hamo we, obviously, but yeah,
[00:56:16] Shreemurah Sampikeh hands the energy drink to producer Mauricio Miranda before going
[00:56:20] on stage to speak at the campaign event for Abdul Al Sayed, a progressive candidate in
[00:56:22] the Democratic primary.
[00:56:24] Popular socialist, Twitch Shreemurah Sampikeh erupted in excitement to a thousand live viewers
[00:56:29] Tuesday night, declaring as the race for New Jersey's 12th congressional
[00:56:32] district was called. It's over. Adam, how are we? How are we?
[00:56:35] Mentum. Let's fucking go. Read it in a week. First W of the night.
[00:56:38] It would be his last of the night.
[00:56:40] Piker had campaign hard for how are we in the final weeks of the race?
[00:56:42] Hosting of retired U S army combat surgeon, a staunch Israel critic on
[00:56:45] multiple streams and appearing alongside him on the campaign trail in New
[00:56:47] Jersey. How do we win gives piker one of the most sought after political
[00:56:50] surrogates on the far left? Another example to point to that.
[00:56:53] His efforts can help push candidates over the line, but the three
[00:56:55] candidates he pushed in his home state of California all under performed and
[00:56:58] lost their races, revealing some of the streamers limitations as he looks to position himself
[00:57:02] as a new force in democratic politics by working to convert his engaged online audience into
[00:57:06] wins for progressive and socialist candidates.
[00:57:10] Piker sought to clarify how he viewed his role after a rough night in which the democratic
[00:57:13] establishment performed fairly strong from coast to coast.
[00:57:16] A lot of people think I'm some kingmaker, a groggy Piker said in interview Wednesday morning
[00:57:20] after stream for over 10 hours on Tuesday until 11 p.m. Pacific daylight time and getting
[00:57:25] just four hours of sleep, but I'm not a king maker. And I'm very clear about that.
[00:57:31] Yeah. I only endorsed Shroycott and Adam Hamoey. So it's wrong. I did not,
[00:57:35] but he clarifies it later down. He just buries the lead.
[00:57:38] Instead,
[00:57:39] Piker said his goals with campaign is to just try,
[00:57:42] is just trying to identify wonderful candidates that are more responsive to
[00:57:44] the needs of the masses and push for them and get them elected,
[00:57:47] connect them with my audience.
[00:57:50] Besides Hamoey,
[00:57:51] who also benefited from endorsing some major progressive players,
[00:57:53] including Rep AOC and Bernie Sanders.
[00:57:56] Piker also endorsed a campaign with progressive House candidates,
[00:57:58] Shroika Chakrabarti, Ocasio Cortez, his former chief of staff,
[00:58:01] and hosted billionaire environmentalist,
[00:58:03] California gubernatorial candidate, Tom Steyer,
[00:58:05] and Los Angeles mayoral candidate, Nithya Raman,
[00:58:07] on a stream in recent weeks.
[00:58:14] While he never formally endorsed Steyer or Raman,
[00:58:16] Piker urged his followers to back them to block other candidates.
[00:58:20] It didn't work.
[00:58:21] Chakrabarti finished third and failed to advance in the primaries,
[00:58:23] top two primary system
[00:58:25] uh... in the party's primary system trailing the other more moderate
[00:58:27] democrats with ballast allow standing it appears this iron ramen may meet the
[00:58:30] same fate
[00:58:32] by great knowledge limits of the rich and hit as is nascent excursion at the
[00:58:35] iral politicking continues to take shape after years of streaming for hours a day
[00:58:38] behind a computer
[00:58:39] comment on election results and had lines of the streamers become not only a
[00:58:42] star in progress politics but also one of the most derided among more moderate
[00:58:45] democrats and republicans because of his history of incendiary rhetoric
[00:58:48] including saying america deserve nine eleven
[00:58:50] comments he has since, uh, said he regrets making.
[00:58:56] I'm not able to make someone win.
[00:58:58] Piker said, I can push them over the finish line.
[00:58:59] That is for sure, but there's, there's definitely a bump.
[00:59:02] That's what they're calling the Hassan bump, but candidates themselves have
[00:59:05] to have the fundamentals.
[00:59:07] Piker hosted Chaka Barty on a stream for an extended interview back in March,
[00:59:10] repeatedly urged his viewers to support his candidacy.
[00:59:12] And last month appeared in a person, uh, appeared in person at change,
[00:59:15] the party event with Chaka Barty in San Francisco that drew hundreds of people.
[00:59:18] It is what it is.
[00:59:19] it didn't work biker said on streamed Tuesday night as it became clear chocker
[00:59:22] barney would have a bad night when asked by the trucked up chocker barney's
[00:59:24] poor for poor performance to a lot of local infrastructure needed to withstand
[00:59:28] a wave of corporate back to back ads
[00:59:30] as well as not having the support of grassroots
[00:59:32] by cassette he even personally make private overtures
[00:59:35] same for schools local democratic socials of america group to her support
[00:59:38] still the group declined to back chocker barney who doesn't consider himself a
[00:59:41] socialist
[00:59:42] still if tuesday was uh... at being on biker's political project it had nothing
[00:59:46] to deter him from throwing his weight around in upcoming races. His focus is already shifting
[00:59:50] to New York's upcoming primaries, where he's working to boost the New York DSA slate that
[00:59:54] includes Dari Elisa Avila Chevalier, who Mayor Zor Ramamdani is also endorsed against a representative
[00:59:59] Adriana Espayat with events in the works.
[01:00:03] Now, of course, the resentment from the centrist or the center right in the Democratic Party
[01:00:10] the far right is not because of my fucking America deserve 911 comment, right? Elsewhere,
[01:00:16] Piker's supporters showed to be a boost to candidates including the Michigan Senate after
[01:00:20] throwing a support behind of the LSI ad and campaigning with them across the state earlier
[01:00:23] this year, injecting a jolt of attention into the Progressive's campaign. Piker's involvement
[01:00:26] fueled a surge of interest in small dollar donations, helping boost LSI ad into serious
[01:00:31] contention in the primary, even as it triggered stark backlash from Republicans and more moderate
[01:00:35] Democrats alike. I don't have time to feel sad or even experience Joy Piker said, Wednesday,
[01:00:42] we've got more primaries coming up. That's the article.
[01:00:51] No, Chris Robb mentioned. Yeah, I wonder why they're angling it this way, but I guess like,
[01:00:57] they're angling it in a way where it's like, what is this? Hassan Piker confirms he will attend
[01:01:02] NBA game finals 3 in Madison Square Garden. Zoran Mamdani and Donald Trump will also attend.
[01:01:10] Performatively booking even higher nosebleeds than Zoran. Yeah, no, it's gonna be the highest of
[01:01:17] the nosebleeds. This low triangle, he needs to be careful of Trump sees Zoran laughing with them.
[01:01:29] Okay, I'm not going with Zoran. All right.
[01:01:42] Anyway, so here's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. The narrative that is like
[01:01:51] shaping now after a sequence of victories that didn't get as much coverage from mainstream news
[01:01:57] outlets like with Chris Robb or even Adam Hamawee. I feel like some of these guys are basically
[01:02:02] saying like, oh, you don't have the juice. You don't have the motion. And in an effort
[01:02:06] to like tie me to candidates that fail, they will obviously focus on Shoecott, but then
[01:02:12] they'll also slap on like Nithya Raman or Tom Steyer, who are very different than the
[01:02:18] types of candidates that I actually align with and actively push for.
[01:02:24] Choycott Keros is a great example of a candidate that I will be campaigning alongside.
[01:02:30] Daria Lisa is another.
[01:02:31] Claire Valdez is another.
[01:02:33] The New York City DSA slate in its entirety are exactly the type of insurgencies that
[01:02:39] I identify with and align with ideologically.
[01:02:43] Choycott, as a matter of fact, is in the category of a candidate that's not backed by the local
[01:02:50] DSA.
[01:02:51] It's unique.
[01:02:52] unique in that regard and the point that I was trying to make is that due to
[01:02:56] ideological differences, due to a lack of trust with grassroots on the
[01:03:01] ground, there just wasn't enough support.
[01:03:06] There are people that I have on the broadcast that I do not endorse. There are
[01:03:10] people I have on the broadcast that I will be very critical of and will
[01:03:14] have significant disagreements with. Tom Steyer is one of those people, right? Like
[01:03:19] I didn't endorse Tom Steyer. I didn't rally with Tom Steyer. I had an opportunity to do so, and I didn't do so.
[01:03:31] Like, there were certain things that I was expecting from Tom Steyer that I think would have
[01:03:38] helped him out as well in the long run. And I still hope that he makes it into the top too.
[01:03:45] I hope he actually pushes out the Republican, right?
[01:03:55] And here's the other side of the story. I don't just back candidates that I think are gonna win.
[01:04:00] I back candidates that might be a long shot. Shoycott was a long shot, right? And I think a lot
[01:04:08] of people don't understand that, where they're like, oh dude, you're just supposed to back candidates
[01:04:13] that you know are gonna win, so you look good. It's like, that's not what this is about.
[01:04:17] What this is about is working to actually change the Democratic Party's internal, like,
[01:04:27] it's different caucuses within the party, right? To create some kind of, to create some
[01:04:34] kind of movement, as long as the Democrats allow us, right?
[01:04:49] Shouldn't Palestine give up and surrender to Israel?
[01:04:50] Why is Amos sending people?
[01:04:52] I know you're a Ukraine supporter, and that's the reason why you're bringing this up.
[01:04:58] I know that you're pro-Ukraine and anti-Palestine, and that's why you're bringing this up.
[01:05:03] And maybe you haven't heard me talk about this before, but I'm in favor of a cessation
[01:05:09] of hostilities in both Ukraine and also in Palestine.
[01:05:14] The problem is that, oh, I'm making you anti-Palestine.
[01:05:17] Oh, so you're pro-genocide now.
[01:05:20] As a pro-Ukraine guy, you're pro-genocide now because of me, because of a Twitch streamer.
[01:05:26] Interesting.
[01:05:27] it feels like you actually were not that invested in the lives and livelihoods of the Palestinian
[01:05:35] population, and now you're simply looking for an out. In any case, the point is, or rather,
[01:05:42] the difference is in this circumstance that Ukraine is a sovereign state that actually has
[01:05:47] a standing military and has been able to successfully push back against the Russian forces, which is
[01:05:52] great, right? And I'm in favor of it. And Russian irredentist action in Ukraine is completely
[01:06:02] unjustifiable. And I've opposed it from the beginning. And I've been talking about the
[01:06:08] immorality of the Russian invasion. You, on the other hand, I don't think give a shit about
[01:06:14] the Israeli incursion, especially when the Israeli investment or the Israeli interest,
[01:06:20] No, I just poke you with your own hypocrisy. There is no hypocrisy. It's your stupidity. You don't understand
[01:06:26] Israel has a different interest with the Palestinians than Russia has with Ukrainians
[01:06:32] Okay, that's just the truth. I think the Russian invasion of Ukraine is also immoral and unjustifiable
[01:06:39] I don't justify it. I think it's fucked up
[01:06:44] You understand
[01:06:46] But Israel is not simply trying to stop the Hamas scourge, Israel is very actively trying
[01:06:53] to ethnically cleanse this land.
[01:06:57] This land that it occupies already as a sovereign state, Russia does not occupy the entirety
[01:07:02] of Ukraine as it's carpet bombing Ukrainian cities.
[01:07:07] You know, there's a difference, right?
[01:07:09] Well, I guess there is no difference for you because you're a disgusting little gremlin
[01:07:15] who actually doesn't care.
[01:07:16] I do care about Ukrainian lives.
[01:07:20] You don't care about Palestinians.
[01:07:22] That's the difference.
[01:07:28] Have you already seen this from Politico about you?
[01:07:30] By the way, what the fuck is this?
[01:07:32] Yes, I just read it.
[01:07:38] I feel like this is engagement bait.
[01:07:42] He's not a kingmaker, he's never claimed to be
[01:07:43] just a voice of reason and rational thought.
[01:07:46] Yeah, there is no, like, Russian cojet that actually calculates the amount of calories
[01:07:53] that every individual Ukrainian gets to eat, okay?
[01:07:57] There is one for Israel.
[01:07:59] Israel is hermetically sealed Palestine.
[01:08:01] Israel has, uh, has, has militarily occupied Palestinian existence and ethnically cleansed
[01:08:07] hundreds of thousands of Palestinians over 80 fucking years.
[01:08:10] There's no real, uh, comparison between the two.
[01:08:15] Now, the real problem here is whether Russia is invested in a genuine, long-standing ceasefire
[01:08:22] with the Ukrainians or not, that's the real question.
[01:08:25] I don't know.
[01:08:28] In any case, it doesn't really matter.
[01:08:36] That chatter wasn't actually invested in the truth at all.
[01:08:40] That chatter was just in here to show people how fucking immoral he is.
[01:08:44] Like he thinks, he thinks this gives him moral permission, right?
[01:08:49] Russia is trying to absorb Ukraine and wipe out Ukrainian identity, but it wants to do
[01:08:52] so by making Ukrainians and the Russians, Israel wants to take over Palestine and kill
[01:08:55] and expel every Palestinian who lives there, exactly.
[01:08:58] Most are immoral, some of the worst crimes of the modern day, but they aren't identical
[01:09:01] in the dynamics, exactly.
[01:09:02] Exactly.
[01:09:03] This doesn't justify the other, by the way.
[01:09:06] This is not a justification for Russian irredentist action, not even a little bit.
[01:09:11] Okay?
[01:09:13] But there are differences.
[01:09:21] But regardless, that person doesn't care about my interest in this at all.
[01:09:27] That person doesn't care about anything, as a matter of fact.
[01:09:29] He's just in here to talk shit.
[01:09:31] He's in here to be like, see, this is why I no longer am anti-genocide.
[01:09:34] Okay, well then you're a fucking piece of shit.
[01:09:39] If you are willing to entertain your lack of support for a people that are being genocided
[01:09:45] in broad daylight with unlimited support from the Western world, support that could have
[01:09:49] gone to Ukraine, mind you, but is it now being wasted away in Israel in this offensive genocidal
[01:09:56] conquest, right?
[01:10:00] If you're that invested in Western supremacy, if you're that invested in murdering Muslims
[01:10:06] wholesale across the board, no matter where it's happening, then you don't need my permission.
[01:10:14] You don't need me to tell you that you're fine, you're allowed to hate the Palestinians.
[01:10:27] You've already decided that you're a fucking piece of shit anyway.
[01:10:30] a monster. Anyway, where else? What was I going to talk about? What else was going on?
[01:10:45] Oh, here, you guys want to know why fucking California takes so long to count boats? Here's
[01:10:50] Alex on the scene of the crime. Why does it take so long to count ballots in California
[01:10:57] compared to other states.
[01:10:58] Well, essentially, California leaders
[01:11:00] have made the decision that it's
[01:11:01] more important to live more people, more time,
[01:11:05] to make last-minute votes than it is to count quickly.
[01:11:09] Where other states have said it's more important
[01:11:12] to count quickly and not necessarily give people
[01:11:15] as many options to vote at the last minute.
[01:11:17] So in California, you can turn your ballot in
[01:11:21] up until the very last day.
[01:11:23] As long as it is postmarked by election day,
[01:11:26] There's up to seven days for that to come to a vote processing center like this one to be counted.
[01:11:34] Also, we mail ballots to every single registered voter in the state.
[01:11:39] Right now, about 80% of voters return their ballots by mail.
[01:11:44] Each one of them has to go through a signature verification process.
[01:11:48] If there's a problem in the signature verification process, then you're alerted and you have 10 days to fix that process
[01:11:56] to come what's called cheer your ballot.
[01:11:59] All that takes time.
[01:12:00] Eventually, all those ballots come here
[01:12:03] where they are officially counted.
[01:12:05] But the whole process takes about three weeks,
[01:12:10] which is longer than most states who don't do most of that.
[01:12:15] And by the way, have a lot less people.
[01:12:17] LA County alone has 5.9 million registered voters,
[01:12:22] which is more voters than 41 other states.
[01:12:27] So there's a lot of vote by mail,
[01:12:30] there's a lot of steps to prevent fraud,
[01:12:33] and all that takes a lot of time,
[01:12:35] which is why California moves so slow.
[01:12:37] To speed up that process would include changing the laws
[01:12:42] in order to make that happen.
[01:12:43] But because of that, we haven't changed the laws.
[01:12:47] Right now, we do not know who's advancing
[01:12:48] in the race for LA Mayor or the race for California Governor.
[01:12:52] It is pretty wild. It is pretty fucking wild. Dude, dude, dude. I guess it makes kind of make sense because it's so
[01:13:02] It's so large, right? The state is so large. It's so vast
[01:13:09] Then it takes like three weeks to fully figure out who won anything
[01:13:14] It's also tough to try and project the winner too. I guess they can for someone who's like
[01:13:26] very clearly like, like Karen Bass is already projected to advance, right? And also projected
[01:13:32] not to hit 50%. So like that's why there's a runoff. What I said to my dad about California
[01:13:39] voting, if you vote in person or on election day by poll close time, that's the moment your vote
[01:13:44] leaves your custody, a mail vote postmarked by E-day or dropped in a box for poll time leaves
[01:13:48] your custody at the exact moment as well. There's absolutely no reason to restrain certain methods
[01:13:53] of voting at arbitrary points because you're then implying that an in-person vote is more valid
[01:13:58] than a mail or drop-off vote, which adversely discriminates. Okay, yeah. Okay, nerd, we get it.
[01:14:07] How does your dad feel about you actively door knocking for a vicious anti-semite?
[01:14:14] Huh? Well, you're also a VIP in the community of another vicious anti-semite.
[01:14:25] Anyway, Marshy Moo, thank you for the five gift of subs, yeah, Rebellious Face for Magophonics.
[01:14:49] Yeah, that's the California, uh, vote tabulation system. And it is very, very long and convoluted.
[01:14:59] Um,
[01:15:00] Assam, Piker and Yanis Varifakis, BAM for insubstantial support of genocide. Yeah, this is tomorrow
[01:15:06] tomorrow at 12 p.m. Pacific time. I will be doing this convo with Yanis Varifakis.
[01:15:14] Um,
[01:15:15] Anyway, let's uh, let's get to this
[01:15:20] The nicks, baby. I already covered it earlier, but here we'll just watch it again. I guess fucking New York
[01:15:26] You know what actually I'm skipping it. Fuck that
[01:15:29] It's a bad time for free speech in Britain. Last weekend two controversial American left wing influencers
[01:15:35] Cenk Hugo and his nephew Hassan Piker were blocked by the British government from entering the country
[01:15:40] Of course, that was supposed to be in London today, but as you might have heard, that didn't
[01:15:45] work out that way.
[01:15:46] No matter what your thoughts are on what these men stand for, Britain was wrong to ban them.
[01:15:52] It's a bad look for a country that sees itself as the birthplace of free speech.
[01:15:57] The Home Secretary, Shibana Mahmood, claimed that the presence of piker and yuga may not
[01:16:02] be conducive to the public good.
[01:16:05] This extraordinarily vague standard appears to be increasingly used to ban commentators
[01:16:10] whose views the government simply doesn't welcome.
[01:16:13] In April, it was used to stop Kanye West from performing
[01:16:16] at a music festival because of his history of unhinged Nazi
[01:16:20] ramblings.
[01:16:21] And in May, it was deployed to block several far-right
[01:16:24] influences from participating in a rally organized
[01:16:27] by the white nationalist Tommy Robinson.
[01:16:29] I got banned from England by Kier Stammer
[01:16:31] and all of the corrupt politicians
[01:16:33] because my wards have more power and influence
[01:16:35] than any other policies ever will.
[01:16:38] Home Secretary has afforded a lot of discretionary power in these decisions. It should be used sparingly.
[01:16:46] And there should be a transparent process. That's what's so crazy about it, right?
[01:16:52] That's what's so crazy about it, where people are just like, why did this happen?
[01:16:56] And we're forced to speculate. And obviously, in my instance, it's pretty
[01:17:01] pretty, in my instance, is like pretty obvious what took place. And it's the same with like
[01:17:08] Kanye West obviously, he was literally pro eight off Hitler and shit, right? But like,
[01:17:15] but even then, even then, like the reason why transparency is a must is because if they
[01:17:22] were to turn around and be like, oh, because he's a vicious anti-Semite, look, that's why
[01:17:26] we banned Kanye, well all of a sudden you now have an argument, which means we can counter it
[01:17:36] by posting the Oxford Union speech to be like, oh really? That's interesting because here is 45
[01:17:43] minutes of him talking about the dangers of growing anti-Semitism in the UK, inside of the UK,
[01:17:48] at the Oxford Union. Kind of ridiculous to say this guy's a fucking anti-Semite, no?
[01:17:56] But the lack of transparency, the lack of transparency in this process is what allows
[01:18:04] the British government to continue getting away with doing shit like this.
[01:18:07] And it's very dangerous because this is a huge, this is a huge move.
[01:18:15] Mahmood unironically believed that allowing Maccabee-Televi fans in the Birmingham was
[01:18:18] perfectly fine, by the way. Luckily, they never made it there. I know.
[01:18:21] They fought hard to ensure that the Maccabee Tel Aviv cooligans are allowed in
[01:18:28] even though they're notoriously dangerous and do actually cause violence
[01:18:33] wherever they go. They do like pogroms and race riots wherever they fucking go.
[01:18:37] Of course there's a line. Direct and deliberate incitement to violence is
[01:18:42] greatly unlawful but hurtful, disturbing, disgusting views do not meet the bar.
[01:18:48] Hassan Taika has many opinions that reasonable people might find offensive.
[01:18:54] I'm a harm reduction voter, I'm a lesser evil voter and therefore I would vote for Hamas over Israel every single time.
[01:18:59] Or simply bonkers, but he does not pose a threat to Britain.
[01:19:03] Bonkers!
[01:19:04] Britain gave sanctuary to Karl Marx.
[01:19:06] We should not be frightened of one of his more superficial disciples.
[01:19:10] Supervisual disciple? What the fuck?
[01:19:13] UK is not the only country that uses visa bans to keep out speakers.
[01:19:17] It's government dislikes.
[01:19:18] Yo, I hate this new meta of right-wingers going on, going on their newspapers, they're
[01:19:27] like reaction to newspapers to be like, yeah, I fucking hate this guy.
[01:19:30] He's an idiot.
[01:19:31] He's a dumb phony, a real piece of shit.
[01:19:34] Also a radical terrorist, but we should still let him speak.
[01:19:41] That's fucked up.
[01:19:42] They're not even a real communist, but they would say that about Karl Marx, too.
[01:19:46] Today's tender leftists would literally say that about Karl Marx.
[01:19:50] They'd be like, oh, he participated in the stock market?
[01:19:53] Oh, wow.
[01:19:55] That's fucking counter-revolutionary.
[01:19:58] The fuck do you mean?
[01:20:04] He had stocks.
[01:20:06] America, Australia, Germany and many others do the same. But that's no excuse. The government
[01:20:15] should stop using its powers so casually. And in any case, preventing controversial
[01:20:21] people from entering the country will not stop Britons from hearing their views. Google
[01:20:25] searches in Britain for Piker and Yuga are already higher than they've ever been.
[01:20:31] Ultimately, the government's job is to keep people safe from actual violence, not to try
[01:20:37] to shingle them from words that might upset people.
[01:20:41] With free speech under siege around the world, it's shameful that Brittany wants to back
[01:20:46] up.
[01:20:47] Ultras as of today would have been all up Engels's ass for being a hypocrite who deserved
[01:20:51] the gallows.
[01:20:52] Yeah, of course.
[01:20:53] Engels, a factory owner.
[01:20:54] I mean, that's, he was bourgeois, it's fucking ridiculous.
[01:20:57] Karl Marx also not one with the streets, an academic, a thinker, who gives a fuck?
[01:21:02] That's obviously not a real working class revolutionary.
[01:21:06] Get the fuck out of here.
[01:21:08] All he did was freeload off of his factory owner, best friend and possible
[01:21:12] lover.
[01:21:13] Fidel Castro was a lawyer.
[01:21:18] Che Guevara doctor.
[01:21:20] These are people.
[01:21:21] These are people who are, you know, they're, they're well educated.
[01:21:25] It's fucking bullshit.
[01:21:27] What was she doing driving around the Argentinian driving around on a motorbike?
[01:21:35] They don't know shit. Yeah, they're yeah, they were PMC scum.
[01:21:46] Fido Castro and Jigavara were professional managerial class scum.
[01:22:06] The question of tolerance and vigorous debate is now trying to stifle it.
[01:22:11] We can speak now to Cenk Yuga who joins us from Los Angeles.
[01:22:17] Martin Ingalls, we're in the parties in the Democratic process, but in phonies, yeah.
[01:22:20] Of course, you're not on our time zone, because you're not here, and have stayed up late for
[01:22:23] us.
[01:22:24] Good evening to you there.
[01:22:25] Good morning from London.
[01:22:27] Can you tell us when and how exactly you learned about this decision?
[01:22:31] Okay, I'm just giving this.
[01:22:34] Welcome to Hannity and tonight, President Trump's cabinet on Capitol Hill delivering
[01:22:39] what is a masterclass on how to deal with unhinged radical Democrats, Marco Rubio, Scott
[01:22:46] Besant, absolutely embarrassing, several left-wing radical lawmakers.
[01:22:51] We have the highlights of that all coming up straight ahead.
[01:22:54] And later, I'll give you my take on so-called journalist Scott Pelley, who was fired by
[01:23:00] CBS News and is now free to be himself.
[01:23:04] Dude, these guys have totally dropped all notion of ideological consistency, any investment
[01:23:19] in their peers, defending their rights of their peers.
[01:23:23] I do feel like it is now a bygone era where newscasters would at least be like, well, I
[01:23:33] disagree with Scott Pelley's statements vehemently, but I will always fight to death. His right
[01:23:38] to say what he feels is true. Like, we're, it's now a knife fight. It's this partisan
[01:23:45] knife fight where everybody just goes, nah, fuck him. Fuck him. It's crazy to see this.
[01:23:57] this is a well-respected journalist that was the face of fucking 60 minutes for a decade plus.
[01:24:05] What do you mean? It's totally valid to just shank him like this.
[01:24:14] Like it's expected because these guys are charlatans. They've always been charlatans,
[01:24:19] but even then I'm kind of shocked.
[01:24:22] It's shocking to watch it unfold even if you expect it to happen. Yes, I saw Javier Bardem shared it.
[01:24:33] I saw. I can't believe I would see the day. I guess it's good that I got banned from the UK.
[01:24:50] It was worth it at the end.
[01:25:20] Anyway, he noticed me. I DM'd him again. I had DM'd him prior. He noticed me, but did not.
[01:25:33] But did not see my DM. Weren't you at a party with him? Yes, I was at the Vanity Fair's
[01:25:44] Oscar after a party and I was too shy to talk to him there because I love him, um, a Titan.
[01:25:57] We got to get him on the pod now.
[01:26:00] What I don't get is, uh, why they're comparing Son and Jink is doing, going to a university
[01:26:04] gives features even comparable to right wing influencers traveling abroad to go to protests
[01:26:08] like protests that aren't their own country by their own country.
[01:26:11] Yes, protests that are designed specifically to foment violence against certain marginalized
[01:26:19] groups too.
[01:26:20] Our left hack in love with himself, maybe MSDNC is next, but we begin tonight with the
[01:26:27] troubling news for the Democratic Party.
[01:26:30] Across this country, Democrats, they are now desperately counting on a very strong midterm
[01:26:34] election so they can stay relevant and not completely lose their sanity.
[01:26:39] a big new poll from Marquette.
[01:26:42] It should serve as a dire warning to Democrats.
[01:26:46] In just one month, the Democrats lead
[01:26:48] on the generic congressional ballot
[01:26:50] has been completely wiped out.
[01:26:52] A nine point swing in favor of Republicans.
[01:26:56] The only apparent reason,
[01:26:58] Americans are now slowly learning
[01:27:01] about some of the extreme candidates.
[01:27:03] The Democrats are not only running,
[01:27:05] but protecting and defending and endorsing.
[01:27:08] Now we'll get to some big developments surrounding Graham Plattner and James Tellerico in a moment
[01:27:14] and we'll get reaction from Pennsylvania Senator seemingly the only Democrat with common sense
[01:27:19] left John Fetterman who just called Plattner a creep and he is, but first I want to introduce
[01:27:26] you to the only Democrat with some common sense remaining is a guy whose brain faculties
[01:27:33] are just not working
[01:27:37] and and his brain is due to his brain is much he can't even speak he's a
[01:27:42] strong victim
[01:27:44] his faculties have diminished in a way that we can see
[01:27:47] in a way that we can observe
[01:27:50] a congressional candidate from new jersey's twelfth district
[01:27:54] who just won last night's primary his name is adam
[01:27:57] homo we now he might well be the new face of the democratic party back by
[01:28:03] AOC, the squad, he is a devout socialist with an obsessive hatred for the world's only Jewish
[01:28:10] state. And that's not all. And the, in 1994, Hamawee proudly volunteered for an organization
[01:28:17] detailed.
[01:28:18] He didn't mention me. And I think there's a reason for that. Maybe he will later in the
[01:28:23] , later in the, in the video. Oh, he does. Okay. Never mind. I wonder if he will, I
[01:28:29] wonder if he will bring up the fact that we are supposed to debate because he's ducking
[01:28:33] me right now. He's ducking me, Sean! Stop ducking me, Sean!
[01:28:41] Oh, and that report, it was called the 9-11 Commission Report as a group that quote, covertly
[01:28:48] provides-
[01:28:49] It's pretty crazy by the way, because like, my man, Adam Hamaoui, was a 9-11 first responder.
[01:28:58] financial and other support for terrorist activities. Now, during a raid on its offices
[01:29:04] overseas, government agents quote uncovered weapons, letters from al-Qaeda leaders and
[01:29:10] a photo of Osama bin Laden himself. Now, before Hamaoui's involvement with that organization,
[01:29:16] he became associated with a notorious al-Qaeda operative, you might recall, Andy McCarthy
[01:29:22] prosecuted this case. So the blind shake case, who was ultimately a guy that died in prison,
[01:29:28] but not before Hamoui testified on his behalf in court more, and we'll have more on that in a
[01:29:34] moment. More recently in 2024, Hamoui volunteered at a hospital in Gaza just months before Israeli
[01:29:42] forces located a key Hamas tunnel system directly under the hospital building. And tonight,
[01:29:49] In a statement, Hamawee's campaign referred to reports about his alleged extremist ties
[01:29:55] gross and bigoted and cited his military service and rescue efforts after 9 11.
[01:30:01] But keep in mind, Hamawee just appeared with Hassan Piker.
[01:30:05] America deserved 9 11. Remember that guy and called for the American military complex to
[01:30:10] be dismantled along with ice. Of course, take a look. Yeah. American military industrial complex
[01:30:17] must be dismantled. That's not like, why would you say that out loud? That's not a bad position.
[01:30:23] That's not a radical position. That's a good position. That's a fair position.
[01:30:29] And same with ICE. It's a popular fucking position. The MIC being dismantled,
[01:30:35] unironically, is one that transcends beyond political boundaries too. Like, it's not partisan.
[01:30:41] And it's bipartisan amongst the masses.
[01:30:47] It's bipartisan in Congress that it must remain intact.
[01:30:50] And there's bipartisan support amongst the masses
[01:30:53] across party boundaries.
[01:30:55] We are spending a trillion dollars on our defense
[01:30:58] slash Department of War, slash Department of War crimes now.
[01:31:02] And what we need to do is spend that in health care
[01:31:06] and spend it in education.
[01:31:07] It's pretty wild, by the way, that the next Congressperson from New Jersey, 12, is a person
[01:31:15] that has literally said, we are doing war crimes, right?
[01:31:20] Is now the Department of War, is now the Department of War crimes, that kind of stuff moves the
[01:31:25] needle in a pretty dramatic way.
[01:31:26] I think we are forgetting that even the most bold, most radical Democrats, they rarely
[01:31:36] say stuff like this. It's true, but a lot of Democrats shy away from actively criticizing
[01:31:44] the military industrial complex or the actions of the military in general, right?
[01:31:51] We need to abolish ICE. And so not only do we need to abolish it, but we need to dismantle
[01:31:57] the DHS completely.
[01:32:00] Now the Democratic Party has never been more extreme and it's about to get even worse here
[01:32:04] here now with a full report, our very own Kevin Cork.
[01:32:07] We give him the-
[01:32:08] This guy's awesome.
[01:32:16] Well, challenging assignments,
[01:32:18] you know, examining the mindset of crazy people.
[01:32:21] But anyway, that's my commentary,
[01:32:23] not yours, Kevin, in DC tonight.
[01:32:25] Great to see you, my friend.
[01:32:26] And how many did win a crowded Democratic primary
[01:32:30] in New Jersey's 12th?
[01:32:31] He's obviously the heavy favorite to win
[01:32:33] the general come November, but the victory Sean is renewing scrutiny about his past relationship
[01:32:40] with, among others, Omar Abdel Rahman, aka the blind chic, the radical cleric convicted
[01:32:47] on terrorism related charges whose followers, you may recall, carried out the 1993 World
[01:32:53] Trade Center bombing.
[01:32:54] Now his critics, homoese, say voters deserve to know why a future lawmaker, most likely,
[01:33:01] chose to support a figure at the center of one of America's most infamous terrorism cases.
[01:33:07] Worse, he's backed by the so-called squad in Congress, adding to an increasingly troubling
[01:33:11] pattern within the Democrat Party.
[01:33:14] Here's a party, Sean, where there's an operative who allegedly volunteered with an Al Qaeda-linked
[01:33:19] group.
[01:33:20] There's also a Senate candidate in May.
[01:33:22] Yeah, by the way, it's really funny to do this when, you know, Jolani is in the White
[01:33:28] House shaking hands with the president.
[01:33:31] It's like, big dog, you know who else actually is hyping up former al-Qaeda operatives, like
[01:33:38] directly working with them directly?
[01:33:41] We are the American government always, but certainly, certainly as of late.
[01:33:54] you're literally shitting on a doctor who saved the lives of thousands of victims of al-Qaeda
[01:34:03] in 9-11, on 9-11, okay? That's what makes this so insane. It's just like, it doesn't matter.
[01:34:10] You can straight up be a superhero, okay? Because Adam Hamaoui is, right? And even then, none
[01:34:19] None of that matters. You're Muslim, you're anti-Israel, you're fucking terrorist. Like
[01:34:24] this dude was dodging IEDs, okay? Was literally sewing back together. Thousands of American
[01:34:34] soldiers that the Republicans and many of the Democrats sent overseas to go fucking explode,
[01:34:41] Okay, on a rocky soil, he saved the life of Tammy Duckworth, and it doesn't matter, none
[01:34:52] of it matters.
[01:34:57] When Zayed is right, he's right regarding Muslim candidates.
[01:35:00] One solution to all of this is Democrats only nominate overachieving Muslims from now on
[01:35:03] because with the bar so high for brown candidates, Syed and Mamdani have no actual scandals.
[01:35:09] Yeah
[01:35:14] It was supposed to be a scandal that mom
[01:35:16] I didn't march in a parade for a foreign country that hates him
[01:35:19] That's how desperate they are for scandals in New York City right now
[01:35:21] The one woke thing I agree with is that a true minority has to be better than a white person to hack it at many jobs
[01:35:26] Because they're judged with a double standard and no black or brown Trump an Indian man might
[01:35:30] An Indian man finally spends some money on clothes and is grooming and this is what he gets
[01:35:35] Yeah, he's gay as hell. That beard ain't fooling no one.
[01:35:55] Also, as far as like Ilhan Omar's quote unquote litany of scandals goes,
[01:36:00] It's the same faucet of misinformation and unlimited barrage of attacks that she has
[01:36:08] been the recipient of for almost a fucking decade for the crime of being a hijabi Muslim
[01:36:14] black woman who happens to be on the right side of history.
[01:36:17] Okay?
[01:36:19] This is how it always goes.
[01:36:21] They will say some of the most heinous shit about you.
[01:36:24] And it's doubly fucked if you're also visibly Muslim, you're a black woman who's also a
[01:36:30] Hijabi, you're gonna receive unlimited attacks, okay? That's it. That's it. It's just like,
[01:36:42] this is why I've always stood by people like Inhan Omar especially, not only because they are
[01:36:51] ideologically closest to me, but also because I know that they are being viciously and
[01:36:58] mercilessly attacked by not just reactionary media, not just Fox News, not just New York Post,
[01:37:05] but even from liberal media as well. Either liberal media will overlook these attacks
[01:37:12] and will allow it to continue with no pushback, no counter messaging, no counter signaling
[01:37:16] whatsoever, or they will participate in it. The expectation is always that you are supposed to
[01:37:27] be perfect. And even if you are perfect or close to perfect, I mean, I'll say it pretty
[01:37:33] close to perfect, right? They will still try to find some. They will always do everything
[01:37:40] in their power. Did you be like, no, you can't trust this guy. He's not trustworthy. He's
[01:37:44] brown, he's Muslim, not trustworthy at all.
[01:37:48] Hey, and we'll talk more about him later, who allegedly had what many have described
[01:37:53] as a Nazi-inspired tattoo, another popular Democrat, a mayor of God-
[01:37:57] Unfortunately, it works too. It works with the masses, right? It works. That's the other
[01:38:03] thing. Because if you were to ask the average normie about you know, and Omar, they would
[01:38:07] probably, because of the residual hate farming and manufactured outrage campaigns that she's
[01:38:15] withstood for a decade, there is a residual amount of additional scrutiny or maybe a little
[01:38:23] bit of lack of respect towards someone like Ilhan Omar.
[01:38:28] Because most people hear that, most people in the margins, most people who are normies,
[01:38:34] they hear this stuff and it eventually makes its way to their timelines.
[01:38:41] And they just remember Ilhan Omar not as like a wonderful, kind, progressive force in American
[01:38:45] politics, almost like a lone beacon of progressivism at times. But instead, they remember her as
[01:38:53] a person that has a colorful past with numerous scandals, right? That's just how it goes,
[01:39:00] unfortunately. It's hard for me not to feel obviously additional sympathy towards Ilhan
[01:39:10] and many others, because I'm also the recipient of similar attacks all the time. And therefore,
[01:39:16] that's the reason why when you go out and talk to your friends and you say, like, oh,
[01:39:20] I watch Hasan, they go, ooh, Hasan, well, isn't he bad? Isn't he bad? Here's the inverse.
[01:39:29] Here's what's happening on the other side. The people that are launching these attacks
[01:39:33] are never met with even a fraction of the same scrutiny while they are responsible for
[01:39:38] actual heinous crimes, right? People will talk about Idan Omar as though she is this radical
[01:39:47] Islamist or whatever, right? Horribly racist takes. Meanwhile, Ken Paxton is letting every
[01:39:54] pedophile inside of Texas free, okay? He's letting every pedophile in the state of Texas
[01:40:01] rum fucking free
[01:40:07] Ken packs has never met a pedophile he doesn't like and
[01:40:11] They get away with that shit because even the liberals are too focused
[01:40:18] Even the liberals are too focused on hitting their left flank
[01:40:31] That's it some who has refused to attend the Israel day parade for some that's happened
[01:40:37] over 60 years and countless other examples of heated rhetoric from other Democratic lawmakers
[01:40:43] toward the Jewish state.
[01:40:44] And some have even argued seemingly sympathetic toward radical Islam.
[01:40:48] I mean, who could forget some people did something.
[01:40:51] Now again tonight, Holly's critics say voters deserve answers about how he ended up basically
[01:40:57] volunteering for this alleged extremists. And of course, what that says about him and
[01:41:02] the party backing him come this November. Now you mentioned, we did get a statement.
[01:41:06] I just want to share a very, very quick line here at the bottom. It says, this story talking
[01:41:11] about his ties to an alleged extremist, this story originated on a designated hate groups
[01:41:15] blog. These bad faith guilt by association attacks on Muslim and Arab candidates are
[01:41:21] nothing new in our politics. They say he's a patriot. They say he'll stay in the race,
[01:41:26] And it does say a lot about his party, seemingly so, Sean.
[01:41:30] All right, Kevin, thank you for that very informative report.
[01:41:34] Very bad news for Democrats.
[01:41:35] They are backing the most radical and extreme.
[01:41:38] No, this happens every time.
[01:41:39] No liberal I've talked to who doesn't want you, trusts you.
[01:41:43] No, I know.
[01:41:45] And if they did, they would understand where I'm coming from and they would probably become
[01:41:48] fans.
[01:41:49] This happens more commonly than you think, though.
[01:41:52] There are a lot of people.
[01:41:54] lot of people that actually finally make their way to the broadcast after, you know, hearing
[01:42:00] about these fucking attacks and only seeing me through this like negatively framed, you
[01:42:05] know, clip compilations. And eventually when they make their way here, they're like, wait,
[01:42:11] hold on, this guy actually, I agree with completely why the fuck were people? Why are people making
[01:42:16] amount to be this, like, a genuine villain.
[01:42:33] Everyone I know and talk to about you are the opposite. They all think the articles
[01:42:36] have literally been insane. Yeah.
[01:42:41] I do think, I will say this, oh yeah the suits are working, I went to put on a Hasan video
[01:42:50] on my grandma's TV and it was the one where he wasn't wearing a suit and she said to put
[01:42:53] a different one on, oh both my parents and my grandma watch Hasan's YouTube now because
[01:42:58] according to them he's a little vulgar but handsome and smart and just say things a lot
[01:43:02] of us think every day.
[01:43:06] I'm telling you dude, it's the suit meta and it works.
[01:43:10] I know knows you good now is your opportunity to present me to people that that haven't been
[01:43:17] Negatively antagonized negatively polarized against. It's a good thing
[01:43:24] Soup meta is successful
[01:43:27] Everyone everyone who I talked to hates you dog. I have to defend you a lot. I
[01:43:33] Usually defend you and convert them one of my friends was like he did not like did he shock his dog or something?
[01:43:37] and I was like, who cares?
[01:43:39] Are you a tree hugging vegan or not?
[01:43:41] Or not?
[01:44:07] Anyway, it's always, there's always something that works. Bro, every day is getting crazier.
[01:44:21] I just saw this on the Atlanta train. Arch communist, a son, piker, new leader in the
[01:44:25] Democrat party calls to overthrow America. Communism was created to destroy the two
[01:44:28] parent family and capitalism engine of production to destroy the human race.
[01:44:31] The Democrat party was the Confederacy during the civil war today. Democrat hierarchy is communist.
[01:44:36] they plan to turn America over to the Chinese Communist Party if they get back in the White House.
[01:44:41] Yeah, this is one of the unfortunate side effects of drawing the ire of the Republican
[01:44:50] media machine. It's that there are a lot of insane people, like objectively insane people,
[01:44:57] that now think I'm responsible. I'm the puppet master behind everything that's going on.
[01:45:06] This is also the type of people that, you know, the New York Post wants, you know,
[01:45:30] New York Post wants these types of people to come to my house, basically.
[01:45:40] Zahram Ramdani, last week, Mayor Ramdani launched coach to do what Doge could never actually make
[01:45:44] government work efficiently. Tonight, I'm joining Mayor at 7pm on Twitch and YouTube to talk about
[01:45:49] it. Make sure to join and ask questions. Nice. Hopefully, they got more moderators this time.
[01:46:00] I'm from Israel and my friends think you're a literal terrorist. I mean, yeah, there is Ray Lee
[01:46:16] Anyway
[01:46:18] So in California, by the way, our friends Steve Hilton and Spencer Pratt are both advancing
[01:46:32] to the general election.
[01:46:33] Well, we don't know that yet.
[01:46:35] We don't know that yet.
[01:46:36] Big dumps.
[01:46:37] We're still waiting on bigger dumps.
[01:46:39] God, these guys are going to January 6th if the red mirage doesn't hold, or if the
[01:46:45] red mirage holds and, and, um, like, uh, the, the liberals advanced in the top two and push
[01:46:55] out, uh, push out the, the Republicans.
[01:47:08] It's going to be awesome.
[01:47:08] Of course, any shenanigans from the local government, they still, they expect to be
[01:47:14] counting votes now for days. There are 3 million uncounted votes in California days, not like
[01:47:20] tomorrow. How is that possible? It is yet another California and Gavin Newsom disaster.
[01:47:27] Now, in fact, in the governor's race, Republican Steve Hilton is now in the lead and in Los Angeles,
[01:47:33] Spencer Pratt easily bested a radical far left city councilwoman who was left in tears
[01:47:39] during last night's results. Back on the east coast, there might be soon more tears
[01:47:44] from Maine's Democratic Senator Graham Platner, who was now embroiled in yet another scandal,
[01:47:49] the far left Senate candidate who once claimed his Nazi tattoo was a mistake and he had no
[01:47:55] idea what it meant. Just got caught in a now deleted social media post admiring the cool
[01:48:01] German helmets of Nazi Allied soldiers in World War II. We did reach out to his campaign
[01:48:07] for comment on the new revelation. I don't know. They haven't got back to us. It seems
[01:48:12] like someone with a deep appreciation for World War II and history would understand
[01:48:17] the significance of an SS tattoo. Now, meanwhile, after getting caught bragging about cocaine
[01:48:24] use while on leave during his time in the Marines, along with, of course, the news about a sketchy
[01:48:30] shirtless social media profile on this very sketchy dude, it's there is nothing funnier.
[01:48:37] Like there's nothing funnier than the republicans being like,
[01:48:40] like this guy is literally grand platinum and his background is literally every fucking
[01:48:47] republican candidate in the heartland, okay? Like pretty much every republican that they run
[01:48:52] done, has done all of this plus actual sexual assault allegations and shit like that, okay?
[01:49:03] So it's really funny for them to turn around and hit the decency politics angle at the Fox
[01:49:09] News broadcast.
[01:49:16] I guess when you think about it, we really do.
[01:49:18] I mean, dude, Pete Hegson! Dude, dude, dude, dude.
[01:49:22] Pete fucking Hegson was not only a Fox News anchor,
[01:49:29] he was the anchor for the weekend show
[01:49:31] and is now the Republican appointed Secretary of War.
[01:49:38] Pete Hegson is a literal fucking rapist, dude.
[01:49:42] An alcoholic rapist.
[01:49:45] And he was at Fox News.
[01:49:48] That was your fucking co-host, Sean.
[01:49:51] That was your co-worker.
[01:49:52] And now he's in charge of the military.
[01:49:55] What are you talking about?
[01:50:00] Fox News has defended Roy Moore,
[01:50:03] who was such a prolific pedophile rapist allegedly
[01:50:08] that he was barred from entering his local mall, dude.
[01:50:13] Mall dude, Pete Hexeth was such a vicious, rapacious drunk rapist that his mom wrote him a letter being like, you have to stop.
[01:50:27] You're doing too many rapes, she said.
[01:50:37] Oh my God.
[01:50:43] I feel like we're an upside down world, dude
[01:50:50] What the fuck is going on website a stated love of play yeah, even down to the tattoos I
[01:50:58] Feel like this is an angle that we haven't really talked about that much
[01:51:05] Pete Hexit is the secretary of war
[01:51:08] He literally has Nazi tattoos that he hasn't covered up
[01:51:13] Okay? He has Nazi tattoos that actually got dinged by the National Guard. That's what's
[01:51:23] so crazy. At least with like, Graham Plattner, he has plausible deniability because he can
[01:51:27] turn around and be like, I've never, you know, I've no one ever fucking shit on me for my
[01:51:32] tattoos. I've done full body checks and whatnot.
[01:51:35] Pete Hexit has been stopped by the National Guard. Pete Hexit has literally, the National
[01:51:41] guard has seen his tattoos and went, that's a Nazi tattoo. You can't do security detail.
[01:51:46] You can't do, you cannot do security for the inauguration. You have Nazi tattoos. What
[01:52:00] the fuck?
[01:52:01] During himself in porta potties. Well, a grand platinum still has his defenders all over
[01:52:07] the Democratic Party. In fact, crazy Bernie Sanders is not worried at all about his character,
[01:52:13] just if he's devoted to socialism, statism, communism. Take a look.
[01:52:18] Are you worried about anything else coming out about him?
[01:52:21] I don't know. All I can say is, look, I'm sure he's not a saint. And by the way, let's not forget,
[01:52:27] he has acknowledged this guy served four tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. He went through
[01:52:33] through some very bloody and horrible situations.
[01:52:37] I just think, and by the way, I met his wife, Amy,
[01:52:41] who is a very lovely young woman.
[01:52:43] She is standing by her husband.
[01:52:46] And I think it's better for this country
[01:52:49] that we start focusing on the enormous crises facing
[01:52:52] working people, a corrupt political system,
[01:52:55] than spending so much time worrying about, you know,
[01:52:58] the personal life of an individual.
[01:53:01] Now that he's an avowed communist,
[01:53:02] how could Bernie be against him?
[01:53:04] President Trump, he had a very different take.
[01:53:06] Take a look.
[01:53:07] Now the Democrats have got a huge problem.
[01:53:10] Graham Platner in Maine is one example
[01:53:12] that terrible Senate candidate.
[01:53:15] Well, he's a major sleazebag.
[01:53:17] I mean, you look at him.
[01:53:18] Yeah.
[01:53:19] Can't imagine that he,
[01:53:20] but yet he's up in the polls against Susan Collins.
[01:53:24] But she's always down in the polls and she survives, but.
[01:53:29] but they have James, Tallorico and Texas.
[01:53:31] I think she's really worse than, actually,
[01:53:33] I think Tallorico is worse.
[01:53:35] You wanna know the two of them?
[01:53:36] I think Tallorico is probably worse.
[01:53:40] That's right.
[01:53:41] I'm very real.
[01:53:42] Why is James Tallor, hold on.
[01:53:44] What are the standards?
[01:53:46] I mean, I know there are none,
[01:53:48] but what are the standards that makes
[01:53:51] James Tallorico worse than Grand Planner?
[01:53:56] is like, I need to understand this. I need to understand this. Is it? What could it be?
[01:54:06] Because like his, his red flags are that he's fucking vegan or was vegan at some point?
[01:54:18] What does that, he's pro trans and was vegan at some point.
[01:54:29] I guess for their, he was never vegan.
[01:54:32] Oh, sorry.
[01:54:33] Worse.
[01:54:34] He has a vegan girlfriend.
[01:54:47] is that Plattner, Talerico, other radical Democrats are now running the parties.
[01:54:52] Well, apparatus from top to bottom and nobody dare take them on and that they are really
[01:54:58] in control of the party at this point.
[01:55:01] All right, thanks for watching.
[01:55:03] Check out my new podcast, Hangin' Out With Me, Sean Hannity.
[01:55:05] Yeah, I was supposed to check out the podcast, Sean.
[01:55:10] This now is the Will Cain show.
[01:55:11] It was a big primary night in California, yes, Election Day was-
[01:55:16] God hates me the most. By the way, I feel like out of all the Fox news, uh, out of all the
[01:55:21] Fox news anchors, he fucking constantly, uh, constantly puts me on blast.
[01:55:30] Yesterday, no, California still doesn't have a final count because in a fact that can make Somalia
[01:55:37] blush, it could take up to a month to count or manufacture the votes in California. Oh, we
[01:55:43] We demand a factor.
[01:55:53] You know Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is headed to a November runoff.
[01:55:56] But who is to join her?
[01:55:58] Spencer Pratt and Nithya Raman are battling for that second spot and Pratt says he is
[01:56:02] ready to go.
[01:56:04] This idea that I don't represent Democrats and Republicans and independents.
[01:56:08] Anyone that's just a Los Angeles citizen that wants basic quality of life.
[01:56:12] I'll be able to show that in five months.
[01:56:14] Right now, the media likes to say, oh, he's this.
[01:56:16] I'm not that.
[01:56:17] I'm an Angelino who said enough is enough,
[01:56:20] and I had to step up.
[01:56:21] I didn't know I'd be here tonight,
[01:56:22] but it's obviously Gosplan,
[01:56:24] and I'm gonna go all the way,
[01:56:26] and I'm gonna show everybody that I'm their mayor.
[01:56:29] To the governor's race,
[01:56:30] former Biden HHS Secretary Javier Becerra
[01:56:33] and Republican Steve Hilton are leading.
[01:56:35] And millions of ballots have been counted,
[01:56:38] but many more, of course, have not in California.
[01:56:41] there's like fucking 3.5 million ballast that need to be counted still. So this race could go in any
[01:56:48] direction, depending on the areas where votes are coming from, depending on the tendency of later
[01:56:55] voters and their tendency to be more progressive with who they vote for. So this is still,
[01:57:05] this race is still up for grabs for Tomothe Steyer, okay? And also for Nithya Raman as well.
[01:57:11] So, there is still a, there is still a world where, and it's actually better for Nithya
[01:57:19] Raman than it is for Steyr, from what I understand.
[01:57:22] But there's still a world where the gubernatorial runoff is one where the Republican is blocked
[01:57:31] out and the L.A. mayoral runoff is one where the Republican is blocked out.
[01:57:36] So we'll see.
[01:57:37] ballots can arrive days after the election weeks and still be counted. So the numbers
[01:57:42] can and probably will move. Political analyst Nate Silver says, like honestly, it's going
[01:57:48] to take several weeks to tell you who won the election. This is failed state, state S and
[01:57:54] should be much more stigmatized. Perhaps the biggest takeaway is how do 35% of voters in
[01:57:59] L.A. choose Care and Bass? How do 25%? So you know, an hour or two ago, that total
[01:58:05] was updated. It's not estimated that nearly 10 million votes were cast. It was 9.1 million
[01:58:10] yesterday. The estimated outstanding ballots, especially in LA went up today. LA probably
[01:58:14] has a million left all in percent of voters in California pick Javier Becerra. Hell, 19,000
[01:58:22] Californians still voted for Eric Swalwell. And that's really the story across the country.
[01:58:28] Democrats the country are on the verge of sending a new wave of far left candidates to Washington.
[01:58:32] If you want to know why, well in part, follow the endorsements.
[01:58:36] Let's go together to the wall.
[01:58:38] Let's start with the Justice Democrats Party.
[01:58:40] It was founded in 2017 by former Bernie staff members.
[01:58:44] They have helped elect AOC and Ilan Omar and they have an agenda that includes many
[01:58:48] of the far left wish lists like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal.
[01:58:54] They also are looking at primaring most establishment Democrats, most candidates identify as Democratic
[01:59:01] Socialists. One of their endorses, by the way, Adam Hamaoui, also endorsed by AOC and
[01:59:07] Bernie Sanders and Rashida Tlaib, he just won the Democrat primary in New Jersey's
[01:59:12] 12th district. Now this is despite the fact that he has passed associations with
[01:59:18] a terrorist who inspired the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Omar Abdel Rahman,
[01:59:25] who's also known as the Blind Shake, is a radical, was a radical Egyptian cleric.
[01:59:30] He was linked to that 1993 bombing, and he was convicted of terror charges in 1995.
[01:59:37] He ultimately died in prison in 2017, but why is this important?
[01:59:41] Because Hamaoui was connected to the Blind Shake.
[01:59:45] He served as a translator.
[01:59:46] He took a cross-country road trip to Detroit with the Blind Shake, wherein he testified
[01:59:51] at the Blind Shake's trial that Ramon had said enemies of Islam include Israel and
[01:59:58] the United States.
[01:59:59] encouraging Jihad, but Hamaoui is now headed to November.
[02:00:04] He's seeking to represent a district that's just miles from ground zero.
[02:00:09] Next on our endorsement list are the Democratic Socialists of America.
[02:00:12] They're the largest socialist political organization in the United States, a very similar agenda
[02:00:17] to what we highlighted a minute ago, Medicare for all, fight police brutality, voting rights
[02:00:22] for non-citizens.
[02:00:24] Now, the New York City chapter is backing
[02:00:27] Darylisa Avila Chevalet.
[02:00:30] And Mom Donnie backed the candidate running
[02:00:32] in New York's 13th district.
[02:00:34] Now, she's facing scrutiny over past posts,
[02:00:37] calling to abolish the police.
[02:00:39] Here's some examples.
[02:00:40] In June of 2020, she said in response to being asked
[02:00:43] what would be better than a slogan of defund the police,
[02:00:46] she said, F you, we're gonna defund and abolish,
[02:00:49] you don't get to water down our movements.
[02:00:52] That same year.
[02:00:53] You notice, Wilkin, is he saying Zoran was DSA too?
[02:00:55] Yeah. I mean, that's different. That's Trump's bestie.
[02:00:58] He doesn't want Trump to be, he doesn't want Trump to be sympathetic to the democratic socialist
[02:01:02] of America, maybe, you know, F you, she said, how dare she?
[02:01:12] She said, no, it means ending policing full stop period. No more police at all ever. No
[02:01:19] gray area here. She says, all very harmful. Uh,
[02:01:23] peak BLM dude woke one was crazy, but it was also kind of
[02:01:30] dope. It's kind of funny because a lot of people would
[02:01:36] yell at me all the time when I would be like, I'm not a police
[02:01:39] abolitionist. Like those who were in here during woke one
[02:01:44] Remember me dialing in on some of the excesses and then getting yelled at endlessly.
[02:01:53] I will say, however, I want to give a big shout out to the anarchists that stood by me regardless
[02:01:59] of the significant ideological differences at the time, because there are some of them
[02:02:03] in years though who would get so mad whenever I'd be like, look, I'm not in favor.
[02:02:09] I understand the spirit of prison abolition, okay?
[02:02:13] But like I'm not in favor of like full scale abolition, I understand it, I understand where
[02:02:19] you're coming from, but like this is my worldview.
[02:02:22] And it's really interesting because, there were a lot of moments where I would be like,
[02:02:32] if you recall, if you go back to the old videos, I have read Angela Davis, yes, listen.
[02:02:38] Um, if you go back to the old statements that I used to make in peak woke during the Minecraft era where Minecraft stands were
[02:02:49] Unbelievably woke like so woke that they would get way overboard, right?
[02:02:53] They would get way fucking overboard with like their their the stan culture and how they would like constantly pepper their fucking
[02:03:01] their favorite content creators with like accusations that they were not being performatively
[02:03:07] woke enough for them or whatever.
[02:03:09] If you recall, if you recall in the Dream SMP era, I used to always say, I would much
[02:03:17] rather have the radical annoying mob be hyper woke like this and try to reign them in to
[02:03:27] best of my ability than to have them be Nazis. Because from my experience, I remembered a time
[02:03:39] from the 2016 era onward until peak woke, where the most annoying mobs were fucking Nazis. They
[02:03:47] weren't hyper-woke, they were hyper-anti-woke. And if you recall, I always said, look, these guys are
[02:03:52] are annoying, they're a nuisance, and they should definitely dial it back.
[02:03:59] But this is still far better than having the opposite side, like having Richard Spencer
[02:04:06] and Nick Fuentes fans be running the Internet. And guess what? We live in that now, okay?
[02:04:13] We live in that world now. We live in that universe where Twitter is, obviously Twitter
[02:04:19] is that world. In a matter of a decade, in less than a decade, it went from hyper-woke
[02:04:29] with hyper-woke mobs constantly fucking yelling at content creators and shit like that to
[02:04:34] hyper-anti-woke mobs that are, you know, doxing and harassing and swatting random people
[02:04:39] for being like, gay people should survive. The pendulum swung back super fucking hard.
[02:04:47] And yes, I would rather have to deal with the hyper-woke mob than have to deal with the Nazis.
[02:04:55] And she works a black abolitionist and has been doing so for decades to dilute this movement.
[02:05:00] If you're not fully on board, she says it's just fine, just say that.
[02:05:03] Going back further, she's even called to seize the means of production, which of course is
[02:05:09] really the defining characteristic of a socialist.
[02:05:12] And then finally, we have the Working Families Party.
[02:05:15] That's a progressive third party.
[02:05:17] often endorses Democrats and runs on their own ballot where they're allowed to.
[02:05:22] They back the same type of issues, universal health care, canceling student debt, buying
[02:05:28] out oil and gas companies, higher taxes on everyone.
[02:05:31] And they've endorsed our favorite Democrat, Graham Platner, who got, by the way, a very
[02:05:35] warm welcome in Washington yesterday.
[02:05:38] Well, Port-a-Potty, Plattener or not, Bernie Sanders is standing by his man, even if it's
[02:05:57] next to a Port-a-Potty.
[02:06:00] All I can say is, look, I'm sure he's not a saint, and I think it's better for this
[02:06:05] country that we start focusing on the enormous crises facing working people, a corrupt political
[02:06:11] system that's spending so much time worrying about, you know, the personal life of an individual.
[02:06:20] I think we can all agree on that point. He's not a saint. Evidence? There it is all for you again.
[02:06:26] Sexting Nazi tattoos. Communist. Call the police officers. I don't know. I can't read that. There's
[02:06:32] there's too many stars called rural manors, racist and stupid. Suggesting rape
[02:06:38] victims bear some responsibility called the Virgin Mary a skank. Quite a CV.
[02:06:43] Be sure to like and subscribe for all the Fox News latest on YouTube and catch
[02:06:48] full shows streaming now on Fox one. Right over in New Jersey, Adam Hamaway, a
[02:06:53] Democrat with ties to a convicted terrorist is likely on track to winning
[02:06:57] a house seat after securing the primary win in a reliably blue district.
[02:07:02] How will he previously testified on the blind shake's behalf and is now saying he was performing his civic duty?
[02:07:09] Former Assistant US Attorney Andy McCarthy weighing in here.
[02:07:12] It wasn't like I subpoenaed him. It wasn't like the government brought him in as a hostile witness.
[02:07:18] He volunteered to testify for this guy. He knew exactly who he was.
[02:07:22] What he ended up saying on cross-examination was that the blind shake talked about
[02:07:27] But Jihad all the time, and in fact, at that conference, had talked about making war against
[02:07:32] the United States.
[02:07:33] So everybody knew who this guy was.
[02:07:36] Eric, Sean has all the details for us.
[02:07:39] Hey, Eric.
[02:07:40] Good morning, Jackie.
[02:07:41] Dr.
[02:07:42] They got their Halloween talking points downloaded overnight.
[02:07:43] Yeah, it's pretty crazy that they're just like, they're pummeling this dude.
[02:07:50] But I think the Democrats have to 100% obviously push back against this stuff.
[02:07:58] Because when I saw the New York Times immediately dive headfirst into that same racist slander,
[02:08:06] I was very frustrated.
[02:08:08] The reason why I was very frustrated is because the liberal media is supposed to push back
[02:08:15] against like these very clearly racialized attacks, right? Someone has to, like in mainstream
[02:08:23] discourse, the expectation from the right is obviously to be unlimited racism, is obviously
[02:08:29] a trafficking unlimited racism and vitriolic odious sentiment like this.
[02:08:37] But Democrats are not supposed to participate in that at all. Democrats are supposed to
[02:08:41] push back against this kind of odious commentary. And it's totally ridiculous
[02:08:50] that they're not. They have to stand with Adam Hamaoui. They have to stand. Did
[02:08:58] Twitch cap you at $30k? No? What do you mean?
[02:09:02] just 30,000 people watching just as it was yesterday yeah and here is here is
[02:09:16] here go this goes to show like how fucking silly this stuff is too because
[02:09:20] it's Ari Fleischer right Ari Fleischer is one of the people that's saying he
[02:09:26] traveled to Bosnia where he won't volunteer for Al Qaeda offshoot right
[02:09:29] it. Ryan Grimm says, Hamoui served as a combat surgeon in Iraq, which we invaded based on
[02:09:35] lies told by Ari Fleischer. Hamoui told me yesterday that on heavy days of battle, he'd
[02:09:40] operate on as many as 30 to 40 American service members triaging where he had to.
[02:09:48] Okay? Ari bears significant responsibility for every single one of those main demand
[02:09:53] and women that Halloween worked to save. Now to have the balls to link him to Al Qaeda is not
[02:09:59] remotely the most shameful thing he's done in his life, but it has to be in the top 10.
[02:10:09] The guy, the guy who lied to, to, you know, send men and women overseas to wage war in
[02:10:25] Iraq is now shamelessly fucking turning around and attacking a guy who worked to save those
[02:10:32] lives. Because it doesn't matter. It doesn't fucking matter. It doesn't matter if you have
[02:10:50] tirelessly worked to save people's lives, including Tammy Duckworth's life. It doesn't
[02:10:57] matter if you've gone into conflict zones, into the crossers of a genocidal apartheid
[02:11:03] state to save little children's lives.
[02:11:07] At the end of the day, as long as you're Muslim, as long as you're anti-Israel, none of it
[02:11:15] matters, they will do everything to disparage you.
[02:11:19] And we have to push back against this, okay?
[02:11:22] And yes, liberals also have to push back against this.
[02:11:26] We can't sit by idly and allow these reactionary forces to disparage and destroy genuine good
[02:11:36] people like this.
[02:11:38] It's all in bad faith and we must oppose it.
[02:11:43] We can't let this kind of commentary slide.
[02:11:45] I'm serious.
[02:11:49] abdel rachman calls adam he's on how many
[02:11:52] with those words the blind checks attorney nineteen ninety five
[02:11:55] the now democratic candidate for new jersey's twelve district
[02:11:58] yet meanwhile you got represented tom swosie democrat from new york
[02:12:02] and representative adam gray from california launching what they hope
[02:12:05] will act as a rallying cry for centers declaring that we are capitalist not
[02:12:08] socialist
[02:12:12] who is this for
[02:12:17] At some point, you have to realize that this is a rallying cry, not against the growing
[02:12:29] force of socialism within the ranks of the Democratic Party.
[02:12:33] This is a rallying cry against democracy itself, because they're not yelling at just the newcomers,
[02:12:42] the insurgency campaigns that are winning, running and winning all around the country.
[02:12:48] They're yelling at their base of support.
[02:12:52] They do not want to face their voters.
[02:12:55] They do not want to face the reality that people demand change.
[02:13:01] That's it.
[02:13:07] It's ridiculous.
[02:13:15] It's called to the stand as a defense witness for one of the nation's most infamous radical
[02:13:20] Islamic terrorists.
[02:13:22] Born in Egypt, Adam Hummewi was a 26-year-old medical student at the time and testified in
[02:13:27] the terrorist trial of Rachman and his members of the terrorist sale.
[02:13:31] They were charged with bombing the World Trade Center in 1993 and plotted for a while.
[02:13:37] will will will get them out
[02:13:39] representative jared mosquows of florida democrat told a free press that he's
[02:13:42] concerned about adam hami's past the idea that we've expanded the tent to the
[02:13:46] point of reporting people that are clearly not in line with our values i
[02:13:48] think is a really long-term mistake he said adding the questions about which
[02:13:51] committees how may we might join
[02:13:53] will need to be addressed after the general election
[02:14:07] We have to get this right-wing charlatan out of Congress.
[02:14:22] Moskowitz who famously said he's to the right of Marco Rubio when it comes to defending
[02:14:50] Israel's interests.
[02:14:57] I'm not sure if you can hear me, but I can hear you.
[02:15:18] Imagine if Obama's New York Times sub-headline read, he faces scrutiny over faking his birth
[02:15:22] certificate and insist he was not born in Kenya. Yeah.
[02:15:30] Adam Johnson asks, has anyone in them leadership, Jeffrey Schumer,
[02:15:33] anyone spoken out on defensive to Libre,
[02:15:36] Halloween after the racist attacks targeting them yesterday?
[02:15:38] Any major pundit, liberal nonprofit, any editorial board,
[02:15:41] Republican smearing Muslim electives as terrorists is simply a non-story.
[02:15:47] Yeah.
[02:15:48] It's totally ridiculous, man.
[02:15:55] This is exactly, I can't stress this enough.
[02:16:00] This is exactly what allows fascism to manifest on the right.
[02:16:06] If you don't push back, if you don't actively try to counter message against this kind of
[02:16:12] odious racist attack towards those in your ranks, because you find it opportunistically
[02:16:21] the right moment to be quiet and allow those attacks to take shape, you are letting fascism
[02:16:28] in, okay?
[02:16:33] There is no difference.
[02:16:38] There is no difference between, yeah, Plattner's story's out, we'll take a look at it.
[02:16:42] several women who dated Grand Platinum recall unsettling behavior.
[02:16:47] The Democratic candidate for Senate and
[02:16:48] Maine could be charming women said in interviews,
[02:16:49] but some found his actions intimidating and disturbing.
[02:16:56] Okay. There's no difference when Adam
[02:17:02] Halloween is called a terrorist.
[02:17:06] There's no difference between saying slurs about
[02:17:09] a Hispanic Congress member on the Democratic Party side, and we oppose that.
[02:17:15] There's no difference between Donald Trump presenting Barack Obama and Michelle Obama
[02:17:23] as monkeys in an AI video, and we oppose this, right?
[02:17:27] Universally, we oppose these horribly racist depictions, right?
[02:17:36] ridiculous to not oppose this line of racist attack and maybe even support it.
[02:17:44] Just because you don't agree with their fucking world view, just because you worry about the
[02:17:50] insurgencies that are being, that are, you know, winning races all around the country.
[02:17:54] It's fucking ridiculous.
[02:17:57] Anyway, we'll get to the Grand Platinum story in a second.
[02:18:07] I'm moving on from-
[02:18:09] I'm moving on from this because there's another racist attack that took place.
[02:18:17] House floor thrown into chaos after GOP lawmaker ties to Lib to Hisba Law.
[02:18:23] Okay?
[02:18:25] This is another insanely racist attack.
[02:18:42] Stop infantilizing the damn party.
[02:18:43] They know exactly what they're doing.
[02:18:44] They're not misguided.
[02:18:45] Guys, shut the fuck up.
[02:18:47] Okay.
[02:18:48] I know.
[02:18:49] I know.
[02:18:50] That's why I'm yelling at those who are deliberately letting this happen.
[02:18:55] And hoping that this kind of narrative, this kind of push, will cause some of the Democrats
[02:19:03] that are listening, or at least some of the staffers that are listening, to at least release
[02:19:08] some kind of statement of pushback, okay?
[02:19:12] God damn, then act like you know, my God, you guys are so fucking stupid.
[02:19:17] Remember yesterday?
[02:19:19] yesterday when we were watching uh uh reckless ben's video and i was like i wonder if he's
[02:19:26] doing this uh naivete i wonder if he's demonstrating himself as a naive actor here uh simply as
[02:19:33] a narrative device or if he's genuinely this silly sometimes it's better to drive home
[02:19:42] a fucking point. You have to think, you have to think, why is Assad saying this? Does Assad
[02:19:51] not know that there are Democrats who he has openly stated are opportunistically staying silent in
[02:19:57] this moment? Some of you are fucking babies, dude. You just want me to say every Democrat
[02:20:06] is a racist Islamophobe and that's the reason why they're not speaking out against this.
[02:20:11] so you can fucking masturbate in your corner about how radical and revolutionary you are.
[02:20:16] Shut the fuck up!
[02:20:23] That's why you win over zero people, okay? Shut up!
[02:20:41] We get it man, you're the most leftist here, I'll fucking give you my stream key after
[02:20:49] this stream is over, okay?
[02:20:50] I'll give it to you because that's how it works.
[02:20:53] It's Highlander style.
[02:20:55] The only person, the most left person is the one that gets the fucking platform.
[02:21:01] So thank you for coming here and showing everybody, myself included, that you're the most leftist
[02:21:06] motherfucker out here, okay?
[02:21:10] Why do I have to literally soft serve everything to you?
[02:21:13] How do I have to spoon feed every single thing
[02:21:16] that I'm fucking doing?
[02:21:17] Stop back-seating my fucking commentary.
[02:21:19] I've been doing this for 13 fucking years.
[02:21:22] While you were in your goddamn pampers,
[02:21:24] going goo goo gaga, this is what I was doing.
[02:21:27] Let me do what I'm doing.
[02:21:29] I know what I'm doing.
[02:21:30] Fuck.
[02:21:40] after Republican Congressman Max Miller of Ohio accused Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib of advocating for terrorism.
[02:21:50] The Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram is lying on the Capitol.
[02:21:53] You're yelling at Channers, wins over nobody either?
[02:21:55] Okay, well good.
[02:21:56] Good morning guys.
[02:21:57] It was a debate over war powers and Lebanon.
[02:22:00] That's when a verbal fracas erupted.
[02:22:02] Ohio Republican Max Miller accused Michigan Democrat Rashida Tlaib of siding with terrorists.
[02:22:08] terrorists. Tlaib is Palestinian American and often opposes Israel.
[02:22:15] Hezbollah is a terrorist organization from the gentleman lady from Michigan and its members
[02:22:20] are butchers that you like to hang out with to a certain extent. No nation can be fully
[02:22:26] sovereign when an army...
[02:22:28] What?
[02:22:31] Bitch!
[02:22:32] Oh, fuck outta here!
[02:22:43] Gross!
[02:22:44] Operates outside the authority of its elected...
[02:22:50] Oh, I'm sorry.
[02:22:52] Are we getting a little emotional?
[02:22:54] Gentlemen, we'll suspend.
[02:22:57] Tlaib is one of the most controversial members of Congress.
[02:23:01] She yelled at Miller, accusing him of attacking her character.
[02:23:05] But Miller dialed it up a notch and chided Tlaib.
[02:23:09] I certainly believe you advocate for that.
[02:23:11] This is the same fucking Congress that has literally censured Rishita Tlaib, by the way,
[02:23:16] for saying from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
[02:23:20] And I assume no censuring will take place for Representative Max Miller, who has accused
[02:23:27] Rashida Tlaib of not only advocating for terrorism, but also directly, you know, aligning with members of
[02:23:35] a organization that the American government has designated as a terrorist organization. Now,
[02:23:42] your own personal feelings about Hezbollah or mine are totally immaterial in this conversation.
[02:23:48] This accusation is one that is done to disparage what Rashida Tlaib is trying to do here,
[02:23:55] which is to stop or to force America to restrain Israel in an effort to abide by the ceasefire negotiations.
[02:24:07] That man literally poured boiling water on his daughter's mother. Wait, what?
[02:24:14] Oh my god, wait, what?
[02:24:19] Hold on, Max Miller?
[02:24:25] Representative Max Miller of Ohio faces domestic abuse allegations from his ex-wife, Emily
[02:24:36] Moreno, who claims he threw steaming hot water at her chest during a June 2024 argument.
[02:24:41] Miller filed a defamation lawsuit against Moreno, but an audio leak was later submitted to the
[02:24:46] court in which the congressman appears to admit the scalding incident. Apology
[02:24:54] litter. Moreno's legal team presented a handwritten all caps notes where she
[02:24:58] claims Miller wrote on the day of the incident apologizing for failing to
[02:25:00] protect her.
[02:25:06] What the fuck? Reputational self-immolation. Congressman Max Miller
[02:25:12] leaks audio admitting he's scalded ex-wife torpedoing his own defamation
[02:25:16] lawsuit. He's Bernie Moreno's ex son-in-law. What the fuck is this incestuous nonsense?
[02:25:27] In an audio, in a leaked audio file, he admitted to it.
[02:25:39] There were photos, by the way, so it's not just even hearsay.
[02:25:46] Buddy, do you understand why I find it so fucking annoying?
[02:25:56] Where liberals across the board, like if you have a D next to your name, you have to be
[02:26:03] of infallible moral character, meanwhile these guys are like drunk rapist wife abusers.
[02:26:12] of them are direct pedophiles, many of them have at least defended pedophilia on principle.
[02:26:21] And then they fucking turn around and they're like, this Democrat, like, like, think about
[02:26:27] Adam, how are we again? Okay, going back to Adam, how are we? They'll be like that guy's
[02:26:31] an al-Qaeda terrorist. Meanwhile, Adam always said fucking ground zero as a first responder
[02:26:38] in a fucking field hospital and they get to call him of motherfucking terrorist dude.
[02:26:46] It's so ridiculous that we're like, oh, a grand partner is sexting people. Or I guess
[02:26:51] his former partners are saying they recall unsettling behavior and liberal media will
[02:26:56] champion it too. Ohio is the state that brought us Jim Jordan. Jim Jordan, when he was the
[02:27:02] athletic director of Ohio University or is it University of Ohio? I don't fucking
[02:27:08] one of the the Buckeyes one, okay? He literally hid the fact that his wrestling
[02:27:16] coach was raping the fucking students Ohio State, sorry.
[02:27:25] Like, there is not a single Republican politician in this country that hasn't done insane shit,
[02:27:36] like criminal shit.
[02:27:38] It almost feels like you have to be a pedophile to become a Republican Congressperson or at
[02:27:45] least like defend pedophilia in some way, shape or form.
[02:27:52] for Toby Deriden, South Dakota governor, Toby, the next governor of South Dakota, Toby Deriden,
[02:28:06] Toby's Toby, Toby Derider, Toby Derider. Sorry. Um, but it's just like it's fucking
[02:28:18] create yet we don't need no duster johnson no duster johnson talking my in my backyard toba dirty is
[02:28:26] going to stop them illegals from coming in over the border and north decoder
[02:28:34] everyday okay sorry
[02:28:41] it's just crazy like where where are the fucking standards there's no parity there is no moral
[02:28:47] equivalents both on the policymaking front but certainly there's no moral
[02:28:52] equivalence in the character of these fucking politicians either
[02:29:00] except for turbo duty is that the coder sorry
[02:29:17] Don't do this to a bearded herder.
[02:29:32] Yes, I'm not going to read Red Star caucuses elections, not electoralism argument right now,
[02:29:38] while we're in the middle of covering some fucking breaking news. Okay, I apologize,
[02:29:43] chatter. I know it's probably a great article. I'm just not going to read it right now. Okay,
[02:29:48] stop spamming it.
[02:29:59] Yes, you advocate for terrorists on a daily basis. The House will be in order.
[02:30:04] Talibe exploded. House rules bar members from impugning the motives of fellow lawmakers.
[02:30:11] The House decided that Miller violated the rules and was out of order.
[02:30:15] Miller refused to apologize.
[02:30:18] The gentleman from Ohio may not speak for the remainder of the day.
[02:30:21] Very good. I recognize myself for as much time as I may consume.
[02:30:25] The gentleman is recognized for further 20 minutes.
[02:30:27] Going to deliver a message from Representative Miller of Ohio.
[02:30:31] Yes, I said it. I own it and I stand by it.
[02:30:36] I'd like to submit this for the record.
[02:30:39] Now Miller could have continued had he withdrawn the offending remarks. House
[02:30:44] Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast tried to insert into the record
[02:30:48] articles about Tlaib and terrorists, but Tlaib objected. Guys, back to you.
[02:30:54] Be sure to like and subscribe for all the f***.
[02:30:58] While you join us, Lott.
[02:31:09] Anyway, Brian mass debate Lording Rashida over Lebanon this this resolution
[02:31:15] I mean this guy literally wore it IDF garb to the motherfucking halls of Congress, okay?
[02:31:22] And you can't do the dual loyalty trope cuz he's not Jewish, okay?
[02:31:27] He's a Christian man who volunteered for the IDF and because he didn't have legs at the time
[02:31:33] He couldn't serve in a combat position. So he was stuck making like med packs
[02:31:39] For the Israeli occupying forces, okay?
[02:31:43] literally
[02:31:44] That's how much of a fucking freaky is for Israel
[02:31:48] Not even a dual loyalty trope at that point. It's a single loyalty trope
[02:31:55] And not a trope at all
[02:31:59] Wait didn't have legs at the time wait does he let have legs now?
[02:32:03] Okay, he still doesn't have legs
[02:32:04] But he didn't have he didn't have legs by the time he wanted to serve the the Israeli occupying forces
[02:32:28] It's reckless and it's unserious
[02:32:30] You're asking to remove U.S. troops in a country where we are not in conflict.
[02:32:42] Israel is killing terrorists who I just listed off all of the attacks that have gone on just
[02:32:46] since early April, but we are not in conflict there.
[02:32:53] So you're saying we can't keep any military there.
[02:32:57] I would actually engage in a colloquy.
[02:32:59] I'd yield my colleague a little bit of time.
[02:33:01] Can we leave no military there?
[02:33:07] Representative to lead by yield you 30 seconds or 10.
[02:33:09] Can we leave no military there?
[02:33:10] Well, I would like to know if Ms. Karam, a university student from the Christian village
[02:33:15] of Akala in south Lebanon, she wasn't a terrorist.
[02:33:18] She was murdered on Monday.
[02:33:20] She was returning from home after completing her exams at the Lebanese university in Beirut.
[02:33:25] Look it up.
[02:33:26] Israeli bomb targeted her family's car killing her alongside her brother Tony her father James and her who's a dental surgeon in the community
[02:33:33] He wasn't a terrorist our country must stop aiding in these killings to me
[02:33:39] She was not a terrorist. She was a human being who should be alive today
[02:33:45] My colleagues should know she's
[02:33:47] Literally give you some more time to debate as you can see I'll definitely give you the time
[02:33:51] I like that he just said, prove it. Now, okay, you guys need to understand something, okay?
[02:33:59] First of all, proof needs to come before the murder from the Israeli side,
[02:34:06] which we know is not gonna happen regardless. They don't need it. Obviously,
[02:34:09] this entire conversation is about Israel needing to prove why they're doing certain actions.
[02:34:15] but it's really fucked up. Because prove it means that every Lebanese person, every Lebanese
[02:34:24] civilian is a terrorist until they prove otherwise. And that is the kind of racism
[02:34:31] that most people don't even recognize in American Congress, in the American media.
[02:34:37] It's sickening for this fucking bald dipshit to sit there and act as though a little girl
[02:34:47] could potentially be a fucking terrorist.
[02:34:49] Why?
[02:34:50] Because she was in the crosshairs of Israeli Rockets.
[02:35:00] It's tough to understand you when you're yelling, but to my colleague's point, please
[02:35:04] stay standing because I'll yield you more time. It's just got to be a back and forth.
[02:35:08] Apparently they're not terrorists. Apparently everybody that Israel was killing in Lebanon,
[02:35:16] they weren't terrorists, according to my colleague over here. It wasn't terrorists that were
[02:35:19] firing 1729 rockets there, 1680 UAVs, injuring 283, killing 15. Apparently it wasn't terrorists
[02:35:28] that were doing that. But I would yield you time again. Will you answer my question? Can
[02:35:33] we leave no military there. In the meantime, can I ask unanimous consent to insert the
[02:35:37] record May 29th article from Ruder? 11 children killed, injured every 24 hours in Lebanon.
[02:35:44] Are those children his beloved? Are those children terrorists? This is from the United Nations.
[02:35:51] Is there objection to the request?
[02:35:54] Without objection, so ordered.
[02:36:03] Rashid Tlaib and the winner of the New Jersey 12 primary, Adam Hummaui, were casually smeared
[02:36:06] as terrorists by mainline politicians and commentators over the past 24 hours.
[02:36:10] Will we get panicked trend pieces about Muslim safety and the alarming rise in anti-Muslim
[02:36:13] racism?
[02:36:14] We will not.
[02:36:15] Of course not.
[02:36:17] Of course not.
[02:36:19] both anti-Semitism and Islamophobia are hateful ideologies. They're bigotries that are completely
[02:36:26] unacceptable in mainstream society. One is welcomed. Islamophobia is welcomed. This is the
[02:36:32] double standard. Anti-Semitism is growing. However, there is still no institutional permission for
[02:36:39] anti-Semitism, whereas there isn't just institutional permission for Islamophobia. It's actually promoted.
[02:36:47] It's welcomed. It's rewarded.
[02:36:52] I have the platner piece. I have it. I have it. It failed by voice vote, meaning section
[02:37:16] 224 likely survives and goes to the floor. Massey has said he will introduce an amendment
[02:37:20] to strip it out of there. Where were we? Where were we? Where were we? Check logs please.
[02:37:29] Most of these, most of those are casualties in Lebanese territory. Can you look at this?
[02:37:33] It's the funeral the girl Rashida spoke about. She's Christian by the way.
[02:37:37] Jesus told us to forgive our killers, but this is too much. From the funeral of Theodosia
[02:37:43] Karam, her brother Tony and their father James in Klaia, Southern Lebanon. The family was
[02:37:48] uh precision drone strike by israel in order to use their blood to fuel the lebanese political
[02:37:53] narrative that hezbollah brings danger to lebanon this is how america in partnership with israel
[02:37:58] and the lebanese state black males the lebanese people and manipulates their ideas and conscience
[02:38:02] with terrorism on our side they unleash israel to commit the most heinous war crimes on civilians
[02:38:07] and on the other side they tell all the lebanese officials to blame hezbollah for what israel
[02:38:12] is doing the goal is to commit enough terror on the lebanese people in an attempt to turn them on
[02:38:16] Hezbollah and create the ground for a future civil war that will save Israeli soldiers in
[02:38:20] south Lebanon from Hezbollah's drones. They are trying to actively foment a civil war in a very
[02:38:29] diverse country. Lebanon is a very diverse country, okay? There has been sectarian tensions inside of
[02:38:37] Lebanon in the past, and Israel has actively fomented this sectarian tension inside of Lebanon
[02:38:44] when they invaded Lebanon and they're doing it again.
[02:38:52] And last time they did this in 1982, that's when Hezbollah was formed, okay?
[02:39:01] That is when Hezbollah, that is why Hezbollah was formed and that is when Hezbollah was
[02:39:05] formed.
[02:39:06] And they successfully purged the Israeli occupying forces from the boundaries of the
[02:39:10] state, okay?
[02:39:13] They saved Lebanon.
[02:39:27] Unfuckin' believable.
[02:39:29] Anyway, Channel 4 is inside of Tehran.
[02:39:34] What do Iranians want from a Trump peace deal?
[02:39:36] Let's take a look.
[02:39:37] Tehran as Israeli bombs continue to rain down on Lebanon and President Trump suffers a blow
[02:39:44] in Congress which will potentially hamper his efforts to end his war with Iran.
[02:39:51] Now we'll be live in Beirut and Washington shortly but first here in Iran they may have
[02:39:57] lost dozens of senior political and military figures in the war that's further damaged
[02:40:02] an already struggling economy, but the Islamic regime has survived. And today, people have
[02:40:08] been marking two very significant moments in Iranian history.
[02:40:16] A special holiday twice over in Tehran today, 37 years since the death of the Islamic Republic's
[02:40:22] first Supreme Leader.
[02:40:23] Dude, you don't have to send me the gifted article. I already have a New York Times subscription.
[02:40:29] I use someone else's, but I have one, but thank you.
[02:40:38] What is this?
[02:40:39] Is it purely an interest of not losing your position that you refrain from
[02:40:41] calls the violence on evil actors like this?
[02:40:43] Wait, what are you talking about, man?
[02:40:45] What are you, the fucking federal government?
[02:40:46] Are you tuning in from Langley?
[02:40:48] There's literally a chatter in here who's like, why don't you call for
[02:40:51] action, violent acts?
[02:40:57] Are you fucking stupid?
[02:40:59] Where's your brain?
[02:41:09] Brother sincerely asking here, what is the point of the Lebanese army? Yeah, if you ever feel worthless remember that the Lebanese army exists, okay?
[02:41:19] If you ever feel like a worthless piece of shit
[02:41:22] Remember there's something even more worthless than you out there and that is called the Lebanese army
[02:41:29] They withdrew from southern Lebanon ahead of the Israeli invasion.
[02:41:37] That tells you all you need to know about what utility they have.
[02:41:41] Okay?
[02:41:42] Ayatollah Homeini, I'm going back to the 7th century, the day Shi'ite Muslims believed
[02:41:51] the Prophet appointed Imam Ali as his successor.
[02:41:55] But to be fair, they're so worthless that they're not even like a like a reasonable
[02:42:04] force against the, the, they can't even work against Hezbollah too, because like the Lebanese
[02:42:12] government at times has tried to get the Lebanese military, including in this last incursion,
[02:42:20] to get the Lebanese forces to fucking fight against Hezbollah.
[02:42:24] That's how cowardly the Lebanese military is, by the way.
[02:42:29] And ironically, or the Lebanese government is, ironically, the Lebanese military at that
[02:42:33] point was like, no, we're not going to fucking fight back against Hezbollah at the behest
[02:42:37] of a foreign occupying force.
[02:42:39] Like, what are you insane?
[02:42:46] So you know.
[02:42:47] Street celebrations, they are more gripped by contemporary events and not above teaching
[02:42:52] children who to hate.
[02:42:53] There's a queue to five dots at the end of the year, complete with anti-semitic cartoons of Netanyahu.
[02:42:58] Anti-semitic cartoons of Netanyahu?
[02:43:01] Oh my fucking god, Channel 4, fuck yourself dude.
[02:43:06] Jesus Christ.
[02:43:10] As opposed to, as opposed to like literally killing these children, which is what America and Israel are doing!
[02:43:18] Fuck!
[02:43:19] Popular target, Trump or Netanyahu?
[02:43:21] We are not war mongers, we seek peace. But there should be a war. There has to be a war.
[02:43:31] America and Israel should be annihilated. They should be wiped off the earth.
[02:43:35] In any war, don't both sides lose?
[02:43:38] They are the losers. Iran is not the loser. Iran will never be the loser. Iran is victorious.
[02:43:45] The losers are Israel and America.
[02:43:48] This isn't a Shiite religious festival, so you would expect the people here to be conservative,
[02:43:53] supportive of the authorities and the war effort.
[02:43:57] But there's something else going on here as well, clearly, which is that after three
[02:44:01] months of struggle, people want a reason to feel happy.
[02:44:06] The food and drink.
[02:44:07] Dude, I cannot stand it.
[02:44:08] I saw a story about some effigies in Canada being anti-Semitic and I looked at it from
[02:44:12] other angles and the faces were pics of Netanyahu and Ben Givir and Donald Trump, Donald fucking
[02:44:16] Trump.
[02:44:17] He said it was anti-Semitic fuck.
[02:44:19] Excuse me, Mark Levin said Donald Trump is the first Jewish president of America.
[02:44:24] So yes, as an honorary Jew, an effigy of Donald Trump being burned is an act of violence against
[02:44:32] every Jew around the world, okay?
[02:44:35] Clearly.
[02:44:37] Clearly.
[02:44:38] Clearly, ink is all laid on at a time when treating the kids is getting too expensive
[02:44:50] for many.
[02:44:51] A Shahid drone takes- Jews hate you, motherfucker, you are Muslim.
[02:44:57] These are your master who you defend, you cunt.
[02:45:06] off you cunt. You are a dog wait just now someone from Netherlands have been harassing
[02:45:13] his pregnant wife got pushed to the ground for being passing in. You are a dog to them.
[02:45:17] When they tell you bark you do it. Fuck off you cunt. These cockroaches hate us Arabs
[02:45:21] and Muslims. They hate you. How many campaigns have they did against you? Call you a terrorist.
[02:45:26] Are you going to tell me it's Christians or Indians? You coward cunt. These are your masters
[02:45:32] who you defend. Zionists like Tom Sayer, Jews hate you, motherfucker, you are Muslim.
[02:45:46] That's a guy, I think, who's saying like in order to be sufficiently anti-Israel, you
[02:45:54] have to be anti-Semitic, and that you are serving the Jewish overlords and the Jewish
[02:46:01] masters for combating anti-semitism.
[02:46:11] Pride of place on one of the stands.
[02:46:13] Do you think people in Iran feel like celebrating right now?
[02:46:16] Yes, we are.
[02:46:18] We are sad because of our loss of our great leader.
[02:46:23] We are sad over losing our...
[02:46:25] Matt Habach, can you repeat everything you just said for the last 15 minutes?
[02:46:28] I wasn't paying attention.
[02:46:29] Well, guess what? You don't have to have me repeat this for all 31,000 people who are in here.

[02:47:22] Anyway, um
[02:47:24] I've talked about this a lot, and I will continue repeating myself every single time.
[02:47:29] I don't really care much for people saying that I'm engaging in Jewish exceptionalism
[02:47:35] or leaning into Jewish supremacy because I oppose anti-Semitism.
[02:47:40] I think it's a very stupid argument to make.
[02:47:43] And the reason why I say that is because I oppose all bigotry unconditionally and across
[02:47:51] the board.
[02:47:52] And it's also wrong, right?
[02:47:53] Not just like morally wrong, which it is, but it's also an incorrect assessment to assume
[02:47:58] that any people is monolithic in their approach and their understanding to any issue is ridiculous.
[02:48:09] People will constantly turn around and say, well, you know, Jews overwhelmingly support
[02:48:15] Israel.
[02:48:16] How can you say this?
[02:48:17] Israel is a genocidal country.
[02:48:19] Israel is an apartheid state.
[02:48:20] true, Israel isn't a part, I say, is a genocidal country. And those who defend Israel are wrong.
[02:48:27] They are defending a Nazi country. It doesn't matter if they're Jewish. I will always say the truth.
[02:48:32] Okay. But another truth here that also must be said is that no one is monolithic. If that was the
[02:48:39] case, if, if Jews were operating with a monolithic understanding of Israel, then there wouldn't be
[02:48:44] so many young Jews that oppose Israel, right? There wouldn't be a need for Zionist groups
[02:48:56] to spend millions of dollars trying to indoctrinate young Jews living outside of Israel to be committed
[02:49:06] to the goals of the Israeli state. Except for billionaires, truly the only monolith that
[02:49:14] wants to control the world and his people, no, that's not true either.
[02:49:18] What billionaires and millionaires and capital owners do is engage in class interest.
[02:49:26] Okay, but that doesn't mean that they will forever be loyal to their class interest.
[02:49:33] There will be class traders and collaborators.
[02:49:39] But that's class interest. That's different, not a monolith regardless.
[02:49:44] It's just someone abiding by their own interests.
[02:50:05] I don't do that.
[02:50:09] I don't play those games. I don't say, I don't lean into any of these,
[02:50:14] racist, like any of these like bigoted assessments. What happened to your sis? Looking good my
[02:50:22] boy. Oh, thank you for noticing. I got shot with a cortisol, or cortisone, sorry. And
[02:50:33] it went away, at least for the time being. You do the Jewish exceptionalism. I hear you
[02:50:42] talk about anti-Semitism more than Islamophobia or anti-blackness. Asada Major, it's really
[02:50:46] funny that you watch a fucking unwashed, disgusting little fucking Argentinian or Australian Cypriot
[02:50:54] creature living in Argentine, Argentina, to come to a Muslim American socialist anti-imperialist
[02:51:04] commentators fucking stream when I'm the recipient of maximum Islamophobic attacks and you fucking
[02:51:11] have the audacity to tell me that I talk more about anti-Semitism than Islamophobia or anti-Blackness
[02:51:17] institutionalized bigotries in this country, okay? That's not true. I talk about anti-Blackness
[02:51:23] and Islamophobia quite a bit. As a matter of fact, earlier, if you were here, if you were
[02:51:28] actually a subscriber, okay, you would have seen, or if you're not a subscriber, you could
[02:51:34] subscribe and then you could rewind to go back and listen to my last two hours of talking about
[02:51:40] how there's a double standard between anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, like 5x weekly. You Kirk
[02:51:51] you pimple nice, yes. You are getting fucking, you're getting your notes from dumbass people
[02:52:01] who are not initiated with this conversation. I've been here since 2021, like 5x weekly.
[02:52:08] If it's offensive to you that I talk about anti-Semitism every now and then, when it gets
[02:52:12] brought up, you're, you know, you're, you're, it's fine if you're offended.
[02:52:18] But don't fucking come in here and act like I don't talk about Islamophobia, dumb fuck.
[02:52:27] I get it from you and it's not offensive.
[02:52:31] I don't do Jewish exceptionalism.
[02:52:32] As a matter of fact, I talk about Jewish exceptionalism as well.
[02:52:36] You're just stupid enough not to hear that and tune it out, I guess.
[02:52:41] There's a difference between calling out every single Israel first institution that masquerades
[02:52:49] as Jewish institutions, right?
[02:52:52] And what kind of damage that does to broader consciousness about Jewish people as a whole
[02:53:01] verses, turning around and just saying anytime you mention, anytime you fucking mention anti-semitism
[02:53:10] you're engaging in Jewish exceptionalism. It's fucking stupid, especially considering
[02:53:17] that I also explain that while anti-semitism is, you know, increasing, much of that information,
[02:53:24] of the anti-Semitic incidents are actually simply anti-Zionist acts and are just simply
[02:53:32] being presented as anti-Semitism increasing.
[02:53:37] And on top of that, I always clarify that anti-Semitism is not the same as anti-Blackness
[02:53:46] or Islamophobia or violence like systematic violence and discrimination that Black and
[02:53:53] brown people face in this country. There is no institutional anti-Semitism. There is no,
[02:54:00] there is no stigma associated with being Jewish in institutions of power in the same way that
[02:54:07] there is with being Muslim, for example. And I literally just spent the last two hours talking
[02:54:14] about that distinction. So you're a fucking moron.
[02:54:22] Oh my gosh, shaking my head. Okay, I can't believe this time you pull my
[02:54:25] shout out like I defend you so often. Okay, just because you defend me.
[02:54:29] And in other instances doesn't mean that you're not making a stupid statement because the timing
[02:54:34] of this could not have been worse. Okay, the timing of your statement could not have been worse
[02:54:39] because for the last two hours I have talked literally about how there is no institutional
[02:54:46] stigma against Islamophobia specifically. The griperization of some on the left is so
[02:55:04] Fucking annoying because I know I know that they're not even like anti-semitic
[02:55:10] Okay, but they just want to be fucking edgy and it's so unproductive
[02:55:18] It's so frustrating and you're being duped
[02:55:22] You're being duped by people that simply want your attention. Okay, they don't care about
[02:55:29] offering any solutions whatsoever they don't care about organizing at all they
[02:55:34] openly oppose it and they try to fucking moralize it and try to make it seem
[02:55:41] like this is a radical political act
[02:55:48] it's ridiculous
[02:55:54] civilians I lost some of my friends we're sad
[02:55:59] inside but we are happy that this sadness is not staying with us how do you
[02:56:04] think this will end I believe I think this might be a generational gap thing I
[02:56:09] see a lot of Gen Z voices that grew up in online space where anti-zionism was
[02:56:12] the norm they don't realize just how out of the political mainstream this space
[02:56:15] is yes at the end of the day at the end of the day here's here's what it is okay
[02:56:26] At the end of the day, I mean, I make jokes about Zog and shit too, right? Like I get edgy with it too.
[02:56:31] Don't worry. Ooh, I'm safe edgy, right? But at the end of the day, you will never catch me
[02:56:39] making an argument that is identical to fucking Jonathan Greenblatt, because Jonathan Greenblatt
[02:56:45] wants to associate Israel with Judaism. Jake Tapper wants to associate Israel with Judaism.
[02:56:51] Randy Fine wants to associate Israel with Judaism, okay? They want that merger to take place
[02:56:59] so they can then turn around and say, see you're anti-Semitic.
[02:57:04] What the fuck are we doing?
[02:57:09] No state acts at the behest of a religion. Saudi Arabia's actions against Yemen are not
[02:57:15] not a part of their, you know, is not a part of their religious understanding, okay? They're
[02:57:22] not doing it for Islam when they bomb Yemen, when they put Yemen under a blockade and cause
[02:57:29] famine in Yemen, okay? You already lost this battle, brother. No, I didn't. I didn't lose
[02:57:36] shit. Buddy, you guys are fucking oblivious to what I do. If you think I'm just gonna
[02:57:43] fucking shy away from telling you what I think just because it's popularity has
[02:57:50] gone away. When have I taken a popular fucking stance? Most people look to
[02:57:56] positions that become popular and then turn around and say, oh he must be
[02:58:00] saying this because it's popular. Bitch, I've been saying these things for the
[02:58:04] past fucking decade. You think this shit was popular a decade ago? Fuck no.
[02:58:13] I don't say things because I think it's going to win me favors with the, with the crowd.
[02:58:21] I say these things because I believe them because they're true, okay?
[02:58:33] For the last 13 years, for the last 13 years, I've been an advocate for Palestinians.
[02:58:40] I've been a socialist.
[02:58:41] I've been an anti-imperialist.
[02:58:42] You think this shit was fucking popular?
[02:58:46] It's not even popular right now, it's just popular in some of our, you know, seedy corners
[02:58:53] of the internet.
[02:58:54] That's why it's always laughable whenever motherfuckers would be like, oh, he's bastardizing
[02:58:58] Lenin.
[02:59:02] Any sort of revelation, any sort of mention of Lenin in the affirmative is unique in
[02:59:11] American politics. Lenin is seen as like a butcher. They don't know anything. Americans
[02:59:17] don't even know anything about Lenin. They think he's like Adolf Hitler. They think
[02:59:22] Karl Marx and Lenin and Stalin are responsible for far more deaths than Adolf Hitler. They
[02:59:32] think these are worse figures. The average American's understanding is literally that
[02:59:36] that these are worse figures than Adolf Hitler.
[02:59:41] And you're over here thinking that this is like
[02:59:42] a broadly popular figure that draws tremendous amounts
[02:59:46] of support and I'm just like bastardizing
[02:59:48] this broadly popular figures historical approach
[02:59:54] in an effort to win favor with the crowd.
[02:59:58] It just, why were you writing weird obsessive messages
[03:00:02] about Pokemon, what the fuck are you talking about?
[03:00:06] Is this the new stalker meta? Are we are we now approaching a new?
[03:00:13] What the fuck are you saying?
[03:00:16] This will end when the world gets free from the Zionists.
[03:00:21] This is the time that we are living.
[03:00:23] The whole world is angry is actually at the maximum anger and hatred for the Zionists.
[03:00:31] We believe the whole world will live in peace when the Zionists go away.
[03:00:36] Not the Jewish.
[03:00:37] Go away, where?
[03:00:38] Look, not the Jewish.
[03:00:39] The Zionism.
[03:00:40] The ideology of the Zionism that they feel they are superior to everybody, even to the
[03:00:45] Christians.
[03:00:46] Despite weeks of Israeli and American bombing, you can drive for miles in Tehran without
[03:00:52] seeing any obvious destruction.
[03:00:54] But in the east of the city, we came across this.
[03:00:58] The clear-up is well underway, in this mostly residential street.
[03:01:04] The people who once lived here still searching for things to salvage three months later.
[03:01:10] This was residential property and it is devastated, but the reason it was caught up in this is
[03:01:16] because this was the headquarters of the local Basij, the paramilitary force loyal to the
[03:01:21] IRGC who keep order in areas like this.
[03:01:25] So the people who lived here in residential property were all caught up in this, but this
[03:01:30] was the target.
[03:01:31] When the first missile hit, I was here. I was thrown against the wall, and then I ducked here.
[03:01:38] So this is what happened.
[03:01:39] Mahia lived across the street. He's lucky to be alive.
[03:01:47] A few meters away, a friend was filming, looking on in horror.
[03:01:54] I love my country and my land. I love Iran. I love the people of Iran.
[03:01:59] But I don't want them to be in this situation
[03:02:03] Do you won't change?
[03:02:06] Oh my god these questions. Oh my god, Trump appears to be completely passed out
[03:02:13] asleep during his 3 p.m. Oval Office announcement what the fuck
[03:02:22] Oh, you woke up
[03:02:25] Never mind back to sleep
[03:02:27] motherfuckers hog shooing and me me me in the Oval Office, dude.
[03:02:38] These are a bit complicated. If you ask me if I won't change, I would say yes.
[03:02:43] But what kind of change? Reforms have to be made. My job is painting furniture.
[03:02:49] If my worker tells me, master.
[03:02:51] You know what's really funny about the Trump's sleep shit is that like he doesn't need to
[03:02:55] do these major announcements every day.
[03:03:01] I don't know why he still chooses to do it and then just fucking falls asleep during
[03:03:06] them.
[03:03:13] Just don't do it.
[03:03:14] I don't know.
[03:03:15] You don't have to do it.
[03:03:17] It's like, it's like a flex, you know, he's just like, he's like, nope, I'm gonna fall
[03:03:26] asleep and no one, no one's gonna talk about it.
[03:03:31] He's like a baby, you know, like a child refuses to go to sleep at nap time.
[03:03:38] That's Trump.
[03:03:39] Instead, they're like, Mr. President, it's nap time, you don't have to do this, you don't
[03:03:46] have to do this announcement and he's like no I'm gonna do it and I'm gonna
[03:03:49] do nap time while I'm doing it I can do both. You made a mistake here I have to
[03:03:55] admit that I have made a mistake. As they say what they can the government has
[03:04:00] told them these homes will be demolished and rebuilt but the neighbors
[03:04:04] explained the value of real estate near military or official buildings will not
[03:04:09] recover. Without the change Mahir speaks of there's little confidence a peace deal
[03:04:14] now will prevent them being bombed again in the future.
[03:04:20] Well with me here is Professor Mohamed Morandi who is from Tehran University and was also
[03:04:26] part of the Iran negotiating team for the JCPOA nuclear deal negotiated under the Obama.
[03:04:35] Dude, Morandi in the flesh is crazy.
[03:04:41] Morandi in the flesh?
[03:04:45] Zay squirrel?
[03:04:48] Zay squirrel in the flesh, dude?
[03:04:51] That's crazy.
[03:04:54] The professor.
[03:05:04] I don't think I've ever seen him outside of,
[03:05:08] outside of the home that he does interviews from. This is a new experience. This is a rare
[03:05:16] Marandi. Rare Professor Marandi just dropped.
[03:05:21] Uh, governments, where are we?
[03:05:23] Wait, he's Zay squirrel? No, we just jokingly say Professor Marandi is actually secretly Zay squirrel,
[03:05:30] because they have the exact same smoke.
[03:05:32] tonight. I mean, Israel has held off Beirut, but is still hitting southern Lebanon. Does
[03:05:39] that satisfy Iran's demands for the ceasefire in Lebanon to meet?
[03:05:44] Speaking of Morandi, he defended you. Genocide al-Zan is Israel first Irani,
[03:05:48] finest sitting member of Congress, is now repeatedly called on asan who's a US citizen
[03:05:51] to be arrested for his speech. I look to see if there's any precedent for this. And the only
[03:05:55] similar case I could find is Steve King calling on Glenn Greenwald's arrest over a snowden reporting
[03:05:59] in 2013. And there he cited the supposed leaking of classified material. Randy Fine is merely citing
[03:06:04] Hassan's criticism of Israel, which he defines as being in support of terrorism as the reason to
[03:06:10] arrest and jail him. This is the most serious and extreme assault on American citizens' free speech
[03:06:14] rights by a sitting member of Congress in modern US history, and no one in the media and political
[03:06:18] classes cares. I have not seen anyone denouncing it. At least of all of those, OMG, I am a free
[03:06:25] free-speed absolutist grifters from ben Shapiro Barry wise in in fact michael
[03:06:29] knows design is slave of Shapiro
[03:06:32] who just came out
[03:06:33] uh... just came out to also call on his arrest in the name of zionism zionism
[03:06:37] try to normalize the criminalization of speech critical of israel
[03:06:41] by the way michael knows ben Shapiro's uh... ben Shapiro's daily wire slave is
[03:06:44] now in the u k talking about the islamification of the country and
[03:06:48] rage ranting about the evils of muslims in pakistanis
[03:06:50] starman shabana mahmoud did not ban knows despite his long history of being a
[03:06:54] rabid races is lomophobe. Why? Because he's a slave of the, okay. See, this is why I mean,
[03:07:01] it was like, I was waiting, I was waiting for, I was waiting for Professor Morandi to
[03:07:06] say some shit. Two hours before this, Professor Morandi attacked you again. Yeah, I, it's
[03:07:15] not surprising. It's a, Zay Squirrel has a, has a critical support for Zionist slave
[03:07:26] Hassan Hassanabi Piker attitude nowadays.
[03:07:31] No, not at all. For that, that has stopped Iran from buying missiles at the Israeli regime.
[03:07:40] The Iranians have said that if they strike Beirut, because what the Israeli regime wants
[03:07:45] to do is to level the city. And the Iranians said, if you do that, then we strike Israel.
[03:07:52] What would lead to a ceasefire, or what would lead to an agreement between Iran and the
[03:07:58] United States? One element would have to be an end to the war on Lebanon.
[03:08:03] Where's your Z-squirrel? Is Nur-Din-Kiswani? No, they're not Nur-Din-Kiswani. Nur-Din-Kiswani
[03:08:09] as much nicer to me than Squirrel is. Look, I respect their takes. I mean, it may be they
[03:08:21] get a little overzealous sometimes, but the situation is obviously unconscionable. It's
[03:08:29] a genocide, after all, and there is a tremendous amount of influence in American institutes
[03:08:39] higher learning in the American media that is like unbelievably pro-Israel, so you know it's
[03:08:46] it's it's like one of those situations where like you can't really get too mad, especially if
[03:08:55] if someone has been there for for decades at that point as opposed to as opposed to dumb fucks
[03:09:03] who are, you know, dumbasses who are like very clearly trying to clout farm or, or engaging
[03:09:11] in advocacy that I find to be unproductive. I don't know. I'm just, I'm agnostic towards squirrel.
[03:09:20] I don't, I think they occupy an important space even if I sometimes disagree
[03:09:28] with their takes or maybe feel like they go a little too hard.
[03:09:31] But also an entity, the killings in Gaza.
[03:09:35] I mean, isn't the basic problem that there is absolutely no trust between either side?
[03:09:40] And certainly the Iranians don't trust the Americans because of what happened during previous negotiations.
[03:09:47] If there is no trust, how can we have a deal?
[03:09:50] Well, it's only one side. The other side has no claim to his trust.
[03:09:56] They waste three or four years against Iran in 1980. They pushed Saddam Hussein to attack Iran gave them chemical weapons to use against us
[03:10:04] Him literally like by the way, he survived it. He which he's going to explain now
[03:10:11] I mean Miranda is a crazy story like born of Virginia
[03:10:15] flies back as a child to Iran to defend the country
[03:10:19] against the American proxies
[03:10:21] withstands chemical attacks and shit like that. I mean it's just as a child
[03:10:26] soldier literally at the age of 16 he was like you know fighting back against
[03:10:31] an American proxy battle.
[03:10:33] By the chemical attacks last year that we're nearing the anniversary of last year's war and this year's war.
[03:10:40] Both of these wars were...
[03:10:42] You're making my point. I mean why would Iran trust what the Americans say they will do?
[03:10:49] So the facts on the ground are important.
[03:10:52] One major problem that we had during the nuclear negotiations and the nuclear deal in 2015
[03:10:58] was that the Iranians, after the agreement, the Iranians carried out their commitments
[03:11:02] and the Americans didn't.
[03:11:03] So what the Iranians are doing this time around is they're saying
[03:11:06] we will only carry out commitments when the other side carries out its commitments
[03:11:11] and we see action on the ground being taken.
[03:11:14] Now, I mean, I'm here after a couple of years, and there is definitely a different feeling
[03:11:20] from the people we've been speaking to, the people we saw at the festival today, and people
[03:11:25] talking about change, you know, that a new supreme leader, a new set of people at the
[03:11:32] top may mean that the government technically is what it was, but there may be a different
[03:11:38] future for Iran.
[03:11:39] Do you see that yourself?
[03:11:41] Do you accept that?
[03:11:42] I've lived in Iran my entire adult life, except for three years when I was in the UK for my PhD.
[03:11:49] And there's always been change. Iran is a very dynamic society, very unlike the narrative that you have in the West.
[03:11:58] So there's going to be change, there has been change, and that's natural for Iran.
[03:12:03] But I've also seen where people are reluctant to talk to us because they're afraid.
[03:12:06] There were besieged officers nearby, you know, they didn't want to appear on camera because they perhaps were more critical
[03:12:21] I mean RGC cut the feed
[03:12:28] What is happening why in Tehran how all the brutal the west
[03:12:33] have been blasting in from the West with Western government support. They've seen a new reality.
[03:12:41] What is this New York Times story on Graham is frankly one of the most pathetic smear jobs
[03:12:44] I've ever seen. The claim is just unsettling behavior and they said a literal Republican
[03:12:48] operative he used to date. As far as I'm concerned, his biggest crime is dating a creature as loathsome
[03:12:52] as a Republican. Yeah, I mean, they're there. I'm looking at the summary notes and I'll read
[03:13:00] the I'll read most of it. Will you be talking about the UK Times article at all? I haven't
[03:13:06] read it behind the paywall. I think it's fantastic. The Times readers thinking outside of their
[03:13:10] comfort zones. I bet that lunatic Melanie Phillips is freaking out. Yes, I did read
[03:13:15] it. I read the Times UK article earlier. Since you're a subscriber to the Piker Broadcasting
[03:13:24] service, you can subscribe, you can rewind and watch me read the article.
[03:13:44] New York Post is smearing you as well. They're calling you porn addicted and homophobic.
[03:13:47] Lamount. Yeah, I know. It's really funny because the New York Post reporter that wrote that
[03:13:52] article is literally openly anti LGBTQ. It's, it's funny. It's dude, dude. Look, look, look
[03:14:07] at this guy. The guy, I retweeted someone who looked at his background. New York pose
[03:14:14] was like Hassan Piker engages in homophobic rant. And the homophobic rant is, by the
[03:14:20] way, this is the article, this is the ratio. This is the homophobic rant. It's just fucking
[03:14:26] rich liberals who just want homophagism in the country. That's it. They want gay fascism.
[03:14:31] They want gay techno fascism. He insisted without explaining what those terms meant,
[03:14:35] which I did. I did explain what those terms meant. I was talking specifically about like
[03:14:42] the California liberals and the extent of their liberalism, right? But they, the, the
[03:14:50] guy who wrote the article, his name is Titus Wu, California privacy and tech policy correspondent
[03:14:56] for Bloomberg government, Bloomberg law folks on state legislature. Titus Wu, LGBTQ groups
[03:15:00] are demanding California lawmakers cough up $26 million in funds for access to gender
[03:15:05] affirming care, despite a multi-billion dollar state budget deficit. Titus Wu also reposted
[03:15:11] If a male actor shared his private life, private sex life with an actress, women would cancel
[03:15:15] him in a day, but women get gossip about man's private life without his consent and nobody
[03:15:19] cares.
[03:15:31] It's just very funny that guys who are, yeah, he's also doing that to me, my private life,
[03:15:38] ironically enough, thank you.
[03:15:40] No.
[03:15:41] Taya.
[03:15:42] Taya.
[03:15:43] Okay.
[03:15:44] Okay.
[03:15:45] Huh.
[03:15:46] He just did the thing he hated, I guess, yeah.
[03:15:59] Trying to sub through prime.
[03:16:04] It's the New York Post.
[03:16:05] You don't even need to look at the author.
[03:16:06] is true. In this case, it's funny, though. It's funny that the author himself has complained
[03:16:16] about exactly what the New York Post is doing to me. There's no such thing as techno-fascism.
[03:16:26] Wait, what? What are you talking about? Yes, there is.
[03:16:31] Pierre Thiel, Palantir, Palmer Lucky.
[03:16:36] Hello?
[03:16:40] What the fuck do you think Silicon Valley is?
[03:16:49] Bussellini.
[03:16:50] Solini. They're not fascist, they're libertarians and liberals. Buddy. At a certain point, you
[03:17:08] got to come to terms that they are moving on with their evolution, right? Fascism is
[03:17:15] an idealist statism promoting the ethical unity of the nation, harmonizing classes through
[03:17:19] cooperation. Oh my God, wait, this guy is unironically a Mussolini fan? What the fuck?
[03:17:30] Oh my God.
[03:17:37] I thought you had a joking name. I didn't realize you were like
[03:17:41] like, sincerely in here. Why wouldn't I be? No, Chatters, you don't understand, he's literally
[03:17:57] defending the honor of fascism and getting mad at me that I'm like saying Peter feels
[03:18:03] the fascist. Why wouldn't you be a Mussolini was a revisionist? So wait, there are people
[03:18:17] who do this. There are people who actually get mad that Mussolini wasn't a real fascist.
[03:18:23] inventor of the fascist movement? Who is your idol then? Who is the pure fascist that you
[03:18:35] that's your North Star? First of all,
[03:18:41] most of the lady wasn't opportunist, but what would be the purest expression of fascism
[03:18:54] that's ever been implemented in your mind? Giovanni Gentile? Oh my God.
[03:19:11] This is awesome. I didn't realize that there was literally ultras for fascism. That's fucking sick, dude.
[03:19:23] That's kind of cool. I mean, it's insane.
[03:19:28] But this is the one time where I feel like this guy is so out there.
[03:19:34] this guy is so out there that like he's not even a he's not even like a sincere threat.
[03:19:41] You know what I mean?
[03:19:52] Fascinating.
[03:19:58] A threat to who?
[03:19:59] A threat that those who are always going to inevitably be in the cross areas of a fascist movement.
[03:20:19] We are socialists.
[03:20:24] National boundaries or nationalism is a thing we oppose.
[03:20:28] National boundaries are irrelevant.
[03:20:38] Sectarianism on the basis of nationhood, ethnicity, race or religion is utterly immaterial and
[03:20:50] pure idealism.
[03:21:20] Do you know what actual idealism is?
[03:21:31] Well, I do, but I think you're going to claim that no ideology is violent, no matter how
[03:21:43] violent it might be, both in theory and also in practice.
[03:21:47] At a certain point, you got to be a little practical and point to real life examples, right?
[03:21:56] And I know you can turn around and say, well, as a communist, don't you think that this
[03:22:00] is like a little silly for you to say people always present communism as a dangerous ideology?
[03:22:06] But in theory, there is no danger.
[03:22:12] Whereas any sort of national purity, or ethnic purity, because it's purity politics at the
[03:22:20] end of the day, requires cleansing.
[03:22:30] And there is no way to engage in the act of cleansing of that sort without violence directed
[03:22:39] at, without violence directed at groups that haven't done anything.
[03:22:49] I can't believe we're arguing on the theory of fascism,
[03:22:54] not the Hassanabbi broadcast.
[03:23:01] Anyway.
[03:23:04] Brutal, the West has been to Iran.
[03:23:06] How all the Western countries refuse
[03:23:09] to condemn the United States, and instead,
[03:23:11] they condemn the victim in two wars.
[03:23:14] And right now you have a siege on Iranian ports,
[03:23:16] a facially, a starvation siege.
[03:23:19] So a lot of these young kids who used to think that the West maybe it's our fault, maybe
[03:23:25] it's Iran's fault, and the West, they are good and they see the world very differently.
[03:23:31] Not everyone.
[03:23:32] But the mood has changed in Iran.
[03:23:34] As fuel prices rise for American drivers, so does public opposition to the war there.
[03:23:40] And last night, the Red House of Representatives added its voice.
[03:23:47] All Republicans joined Democrats in approving a war-powered resolution to block Donald Trump
[03:23:53] from continuing the conflict without congressional approval.
[03:23:57] Although Trump, of course, says it's meaningless that he will carry on doing whatever he wants,
[03:24:02] our U.S. editor, Anushka Astana, looks at the state of play.
[03:24:08] For a short time ago, the United States military began major combat operations in Iran.
[03:24:16] Operation epic fury.
[03:24:18] The Supreme Leader of Iran is dead.
[03:24:20] Iran been saying it had closed the Strait of Al-Muz.
[03:24:26] First came the strikes, then the retaliation.
[03:24:29] Iranian attack targeting the Al-Aliya Died air base.
[03:24:33] Now Americans say this war is over and that they've won.
[03:24:37] Maybe he's gone, the air force is gone, everything's gone.
[03:24:40] But almost a hundred days on, the Strait of Hormuz is still closed.
[03:24:44] And there is no deal.
[03:24:46] The yeas are 215 and the days are 208.
[03:24:49] So as Congress finally votes to limit Donald Trump's war powers, how did we get here and when will this end?
[03:24:57] Many think it started here on February the 11th with a visit from Israel's Prime Minister.
[03:25:03] But the former national security adviser, who was in the room for similar meetings
[03:25:08] during Trump's first term, is not convinced.
[03:25:11] Do you think Benjamin Netanyahu persuaded him to go to war?
[03:25:15] I don't buy that argument.
[03:25:16] I think Netanyahu made exactly those same points in the first term, and Trump simply
[03:25:21] didn't buy it.
[03:25:22] I can't imagine Netanyahu came up with something new or different in the second term.
[03:25:26] There must have been some other factor.
[03:25:28] I can't explain it.
[03:25:29] He can point to wonky factor.
[03:25:32] confidence after taking out Nicolas Maduro. But from Venezuela to Iran?
[03:25:38] I know the Pentagon well and they could give you a list of 30 reasons why
[03:25:42] Venezuela and Iran are different, which they are.
[03:25:45] Because it turned out that Iran could punch well above its military weight.
[03:25:50] Forcing shut, the Strait of Hormuz rippled out all the way to American
[03:25:56] petrol stations and has caused a political headache that Trump's
[03:26:00] House Secretary of State has had to grapple with this week.
[03:26:03] Did you warn President Trump before the war began that this conflict would drive up costs
[03:26:11] on gas, food, travel and ship?
[03:26:14] Yes or no?
[03:26:15] Yes or no?
[03:26:16] The president and the full administration was aware that there would be consequences
[03:26:18] to action, but the consequences of Iran having a nuclear weapon were worse.
[03:26:22] John Bolton is the ultimate Iran hawk.
[03:26:25] He believed in military action to oust the Iranian regime, despite those same warnings,
[03:26:30] but not like this.
[03:26:31] He didn't make the case to the American people, what I think is a pretty impressive case why
[03:26:36] regime change is necessary, nor did he make the case for any other objective in launching
[03:26:41] the strikes.
[03:26:42] He just didn't.
[03:26:43] It's just so funny that John Bolton is obviously a war hawk and he has advocated for regime
[03:26:49] changing around his entire professional career. And yet, finally, there's an attempt.
[03:26:57] Finally, there's an attempt that takes place. And he can't even nut. You said he wanted to
[03:27:03] nut it. No, he can't. You want to know why? Because he's also a lobbyist for MEK.
[03:27:10] And the regime change that he wanted is not going to happen.
[03:27:19] Monkeys paw curls John Bolton gets his dream
[03:27:30] But M.E.K. is nowhere near
[03:27:33] The M.E.K. has no support obviously has never had support inside of Iran for obvious reasons because they're literally fucking mercenaries
[03:27:40] They're like a psychotic
[03:27:42] They're a psychotic gun for hire called
[03:27:49] But that's not the only problem.
[03:28:05] The other problem is that this sets back,
[03:28:12] if not utterly destroys
[03:28:16] Any further attempts of of delegitimizing the IRGC and delegitimizing the Iranian the Islamic Republic
[03:28:25] So now victory is even further away
[03:28:29] Okay.
[03:28:30] Repair the people, which is sort of politics 101.
[03:28:49] Similarly he did not prepare Congress.
[03:28:50] He didn't brief our allies, not just the NATO allies.
[03:28:55] He didn't brief the Gulf Arabs.
[03:28:56] The worst thing for Bolton is it's the same regime.
[03:29:00] So now it's all about that nuclear deal and Trump is a deal maker.
[03:29:05] They want very much to make a deal.
[03:29:07] We'd like to make a deal too.
[03:29:09] We have to have a deal.
[03:29:10] We've been called by the other side.
[03:29:12] They'd like to make a deal very badly.
[03:29:13] I mean Iran is dying to make a deal, I can only take it back.
[03:29:17] Hopefully those people will make a deal that's going to be great for everybody.
[03:29:20] But unfortunately for the president the art of this deal is proving elusive.
[03:29:25] working on a deal, and if that happens finally, it doesn't happen, that's okay too, we'll
[03:29:30] do it the other way.
[03:29:31] So, can his negotiators, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, force a breakthrough?
[03:29:36] Well, I don't understand why Jared and Steve Witkoff are involved in this at all.
[03:29:40] I think it's Marco Rubio's job, and I think Rubio probably thinks it's his job too.
[03:29:45] Do you know that?
[03:29:46] I don't, but if I were Secretary of State, I certainly wouldn't want two New York real
[03:29:50] estate dealers negotiating nuclear questions with Iran.
[03:29:54] This night, four Republicans joined Democrats to try to limit Donald Trump's war powers.
[03:30:00] The president says he's bored of negotiations, isn't thinking about American finances, and
[03:30:06] doesn't care about a vote in Congress.
[03:30:09] But what he cannot dismiss are the very real consequences of his war.
[03:30:15] And look, in many ways Donald Trump is right, that vote is merely symbolic.
[03:30:22] I still got so fucking annoying.
[03:30:28] It's so goddamn annoying that he gets away with this shit.
[03:30:37] It may it annoys me every day.
[03:30:39] Like.
[03:30:41] Because it reminds me of the fucking double standard here.
[03:30:44] Like, obviously, I'm no Democratic Party loyalist, right?
[03:30:48] But, but it is genuinely fucking frustrating to see this guy openly be like, I don't give
[03:30:57] a fuck about anything.
[03:30:59] Fuck you.
[03:31:00] And, and I don't care about the prices.
[03:31:03] I don't care about the cost of living crisis.
[03:31:06] I don't care about any of the shit that you dumb fucks voted me into office over and things
[03:31:11] are only going to get worse.
[03:31:13] And it's fandom.
[03:31:14] I don't even want to call them voters at this point because it is literally a fandom
[03:31:17] or a cult. None of them have a peep to say. They don't have any, they don't have any
[03:31:25] negative feelings about Trump.
[03:31:28] It's so frustrating. I guess it's just like, it's how my haters think I operate, you know?
[03:31:43] They think I'm constantly getting away with it.
[03:31:47] And that's why they have a tremendous hatred towards me, even though I'm not really getting
[03:31:51] away with anything.
[03:31:54] But in this circumstance, Trump literally is getting away with it.
[03:32:12] you call in the U.S. occult? I'm calling the Trump movement occult, which is not even a
[03:32:19] I mean, that's not really a shocking revelation, is it?
[03:32:33] Have you encountered a Trump voter in the wild? Do you not know a single Trump voter?
[03:32:39] to them and you will very quickly arrive at that conclusion.
[03:33:00] Talk to a hog in the wild and you'll see.
[03:33:07] to go through the Senate, and even if it does, which is unlikely, guess who needs to sign
[03:33:11] it? Donald Trump himself. Now you heard in my piece from John Bolton, I should stress
[03:33:16] he has very much parted ways with Donald Trump. In fact, the president tried to prosecute
[03:33:20] him over the mishandling of sensitive documents. There has actually been a plea deal today.
[03:33:25] But when it comes to Iran, Bolton has been absolutely critical. He was the one who persuaded
[03:33:31] Trump to leave Barak Obama's 2015 Iran deal, the one you've been discussing. The critique
[03:33:37] was that the inspection regime was too lax, but yeah, by the way, that's, there you have
[03:33:43] it.
[03:33:46] Yeah, Brad Lander said he cut ties with DSA for promoting a controversial pro-aposting
[03:33:54] rally the day after Hamas attacked Israel. Darah, Lisa Avila, Chevrolet attended that
[03:34:00] October 8th rally. Yeah, that's why she's my goat. This is kind of funny because this
[03:34:05] is supposed to be like an attack against Dar-a-Lisa to show that she's a radical, except it misses
[03:34:11] that mark because it just shows that she's morally on the right side and has been consistent.
[03:34:17] Right? If anything, this makes, ironically enough, it doesn't even make Brad Lander look
[03:34:24] bad because he's so beloved in that district, even though the reality is it should make
[03:34:30] him look bad, but yeah, New York, yeah, they just released his ad last night is awesome.
[03:34:46] know anything's possible with a great team. I'm Brad Lander, and I'll block billionaires
[03:34:51] from buying our elections. I'm Marielisa Avilechia Vellier, and I'll defend New York by abolishing
[03:34:56] this. I'm Clair Valdez, and I'll stand up against bad landlords in greedy corporations.
[03:35:03] Like Loki, I love them more than Zoran. I actually, not even Loki, I'll say it. I think
[03:35:13] their way cooler than Zoran, both Daria, Lisa and Claire are genuinely cooler than Zoran
[03:35:20] Mamdani in every way, shape and form. I am so fucking stoked. They are better than him
[03:35:30] on foreign policy. They're more knowledgeable. They're so incredible. Oh my God, I cannot
[03:35:35] wait. I cannot wait to have them in Congress. Bro cares about New York City more than LA,
[03:35:45] just fucking move already big dog, chill. I am a Los Angelino to the goddamn bone.
[03:35:56] You're now banned from New York City.
[03:35:57] Don't lift them up by pushing Zoran down. I mean, I already like Zoran. It's not a fucking secret. I'm just saying they're that cool
[03:36:20] 22s are like my anti-zonist dreams team and also Brad is there. Yeah
[03:36:27] get out and vote. This is the team. This is our year. I'm Brad lander. I'm
[03:36:35] Preveldas. I'm Maria Lisa. I will low key Brad being there is kind of good though.
[03:36:39] I like dude. It's just him being him being there makes the other people look
[03:36:46] less radical. It's like, you know,
[03:36:51] from a sports fan point of view please form a government in exile that you can use a springboard to liberate the
[03:36:59] Istanbul of America in an objective sense and form. From the point of view of further my political agenda, it is really
[03:37:06] funny how electings are on Mondani. Was a genuine fix everything moment for New York?
[03:37:10] I thought Jaylen Bronson was back on the screen but it was in fact socialism.
[03:37:32] That is the designated wife friend. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[03:37:42] I just wish he was a fucking rabid anti Zionist.
[03:37:47] A guy like that, if he was just like agro as fuck about his anti Zionism, he would be so perfect.
[03:37:54] Because he's like a, like a old goober, you know, and he's not, he's a liberal Zionist.
[03:38:00] He is probably the most you're going to get out of someone who is like a liberal
[03:38:05] Zionist who is still not dissimilar to Bernard Sanders, like very open about
[03:38:15] coalition building with the likes of
[03:38:18] actual anti-Zionists.
[03:38:21] You know
[03:38:25] I'll go so far so he's better than
[03:38:28] I
[03:38:29] Mean once you said you wanted the spurs to win it was overdue spurs bang bandwagon ass bitch
[03:38:34] We outside Hank we outside you was on I need you call you about the trip in New York real quick wait hold on
[03:38:40] I'm eating. Let me finish eating first
[03:38:43] Let me finish eating and then I'll call you okay. I'm about I'm almost done
[03:38:51] Something shifted in me chat
[03:38:54] I'm gonna be up close and personal with you. You don't want to hear this from me, but I'm gonna say it anyway
[03:38:59] Back in the day is to poop once a day in the morning, right?
[03:39:02] And you guys know this I've had this schedule this poop schedule for like literally almost a decade plus at this point
[03:39:09] Nowadays when I eat in the middle of the day my bowel movements have changed like I also need to go use the restroom sometimes and it's really fucking annoying
[03:39:17] Too much information. I know whatever
[03:39:20] getting old brother that's probably what it is anyway let's continue also in
[03:39:25] Trump's words it involves sending pallets of cash to the Iranians which is
[03:39:29] why as Bolton put it to me today the president is in between a rock and a
[03:39:34] hard place because yes he's degraded the Iranian military but the regime hasn't
[03:39:39] changed the faces are different but the ideology is the same so perhaps still
[03:39:43] the nuclear ambitions and they have the same demands money pallets of it perhaps
[03:39:49] which is why this is so tricky for Donald Trump, because he desperately wants a better deal than Obama.
[03:39:55] But many think that the best he can hope for is what Obama got in 2015 without a war.
[03:40:05] Yeah, he's not getting that.
[03:40:08] They carried six coffins through the village of Wardenia,
[03:40:12] father, mother and four children, killed by an Israeli missile strike on their house in the south
[03:40:18] of Lebanon on Monday. Just one child in the family survived, just one, spared by God for
[03:40:26] his desperate grandfather.
[03:40:28] I thank God. Please, give me one day son from heaven. One day son, I care about my God okay.
[03:40:41] Give me a boy.
[03:40:43] rose petals for the martyrs, who gave their lives as part of his
[03:40:48] bullet's resistance to Israel.
[03:40:50] Is it worth it, all this pain, all this sacrifice?
[03:40:54] Yes, yes, the martyrdom is worth it.
[03:40:57] And after that, we need to come and kill them,
[03:40:59] attack them, honor them, we are ready.
[03:41:03] The mosque bears the picture of Ayatollah Khamenei,
[03:41:07] the Iranian supreme leader killed by Israel in February.
[03:41:11] For these mourners, the dead are martyrs to the cause, the cause of resisting Israel.
[03:41:18] But elsewhere in Lebanon, they say-
[03:41:21] Dude.
[03:41:27] Shame.
[03:41:29] Please have it.
[03:41:33] Try to express a little bit of humanity.
[03:41:39] What the fuck?
[03:41:41] Everything has to be presented through this Orientalist framework like look at these barbaric
[03:41:52] Arabs celebrating their martyrs.
[03:41:58] Each individual death is welcomed as long as it's towards the cause of destroying Israel.
[03:42:10] the fuck you're literally standing in a crowd of people mourning their loved
[03:42:18] ones that Israel unjustifiably murdered in the middle of a goddamn day yes these
[03:42:28] Arabs are defending like you're in you're at a fucking funeral man I'm sorry
[03:42:35] you would never get away with doing this shit at like a Christian setting can
[03:42:39] Can you imagine doing this in like Israel? Oh my God.
[03:42:44] These Joes.
[03:42:47] For these Joes, each death is welcomed because it is a death in favor of territorial expansion.
[03:42:57] No, this is not our war. It's being fought on behalf of Iran, not our country.
[03:43:15] Here, most support his brother, the party of God. Sheer families are part of the struggle.
[03:43:22] You fired into Israel after the Ayatollah Khamenei, the supreme leader, was killed.
[03:43:29] This war you started for his death.
[03:43:31] Yes, he died, but at the same time, he was suitable to change the situation in the years
[03:43:38] before.
[03:43:39] Yeah.
[03:43:40] This war you started, hey, just because you weren't paying attention when Israel was
[03:43:48] literally continuously killing Lebanese people for the last year,
[03:44:01] does not mean that like the war ever ended for them.
[03:44:05] And, yeah, the Ayatollah Ali Haman is also obviously an important religious figure too for these she is, so there is also that.
[03:44:27] But once again, it's like they were looking for an opportune moment to restart the resistance
[03:44:39] efforts because Israel was already fucking destroying their lives non-stop with no coverage
[03:44:44] whatsoever.
[03:44:45] So women are dying for the war that men are fighting.
[03:44:52] This is the logical conclusion of girlboss liberalism, this is the final boss of girlboss
[03:45:22] old boss liberalism. I mean, I think it's bad practice in general to try and fucking debate
[03:45:34] lord like religious figures potentially affiliated with Hezbollah amidst the goddamn funeral
[03:45:42] of yet another Shia family that was slaughtered by Israel.
[03:45:47] I wish these people had a little bit of shame. Unfortunately, they do not. But then also the
[03:46:00] arguments that she's using are so stupid. You know what's funny? This is one of the
[03:46:04] least Islamophobic. No, I know. I know. This is Madame Hezbollah. Hezbollah! Yeah. You're
[03:46:13] right. That chatter is right. This is literally one of the least Islamophobic reporters from
[03:46:18] England. It's not even a joke. Her and what's her name? Yalda. I mean Yalda is I think like
[03:46:25] literally Afghan sky news the other lady what's her name
[03:46:43] I'm talking about how many maps are out. Yeah.
[03:46:50] Yeah, Yaldahakim, Yaldahakim, yeah. Anyway, for the homoemaps, there was a real Hassanabi bump.
[03:47:01] There was a real Hassanabi bump in the areas that were door-knocked after the
[03:47:21] rally. So good job guys. Straight up. I went back to the motherland baby and the results
[03:47:43] were fantastic. The Sunni counterweight, the Shia New York City, I know we need to, we
[03:47:53] need to keep the Shia 12 Resoran in check. New Jersey is now the Gulf. Iran is under
[03:48:12] the Shia hypnosis of Zohar on Kwame Mamdani. So we needed to put our forces in place in
[03:48:21] New Jersey. The Sunni, the Sunni militias.
[03:48:39] So the Trump administration seems to be taking it seriously that Seespar in Lebanon is a
[03:48:42] requirement for a deal with Iran, but they don't actually want to restrain Israel in
[03:48:45] any way, so they basically just go to the Lebanese government into re-upping November
[03:48:48] 2024.
[03:48:51] The reason Hezbollah accepted we cease you fire in November 2024 is because, one, they
[03:48:54] were militarily in disarray, two, they feared the rest of Lebanese society turning against
[03:48:58] them.
[03:48:59] But one is different now, and two is kind of baked into the cake at this point.
[03:49:04] It's an open question whether Iran will accept a face-saving retreat from a real Seespar
[03:49:09] in Lebanon. It seems Iran is treating Lebanon as a test of whether Trump will screw them
[03:49:13] over on other issues, though that's not exactly reassuring for the Lebanese.
[03:49:18] Yeah, I've been saying this, by the way. I have been saying this already. Okay, we'll
[03:49:33] look at the big data dumps in a second. Lebanon, stop megaponics, we'll look at it in a second.
[03:49:43] Lebanon is, Lebanon is very important for the Iranian side, not because they care about
[03:49:56] Hezbollah, which I mean, I'm sure they do, right?
[03:50:03] But more so because it requires restraining Israel.
[03:50:13] This is the reason why it's the most difficult one to get across.
[03:50:26] As I've said over and over again, the most difficult and also the most important condition
[03:50:38] on the memorandum of understanding for a long-term and successful cessation of hostilities is
[03:50:45] the requirement placed upon America to restrain Israel in Lebanon.
[03:50:55] sure if they will be able to get it across, but it's perfectly reasonable for them to
[03:51:01] make this demand, especially because in the absence of this demand, Israel can continue
[03:51:08] punishing proxies and eventually punish Iran and destroy Iran.
[03:51:24] is here? What is this? Trump. What does reject me? They didn't reject. Look, they're looking.
[03:51:30] I think his bull. I will tell you they called us and they said, how about stopping? And
[03:51:33] I think you're going to see things happening over there. What the fuck? Is he brandonizing?
[03:51:39] Wait, let me see the video. Let me see the fucking video. Is he brandanizing?
[03:51:55] You got it.
[03:51:59] Exclusive new video obtained by CNN makes a clear, makes a clear fire that burned aboard
[03:52:03] USS Gerald R Ford aircraft carriers. It took part in operations against Iran was more severe
[03:52:08] and damaging than the Navy suggested publicly, I seriously thought we were going to lose
[03:52:12] the ship once sailor aboard the ship, told CNN describing how he felt while fighting
[03:52:16] the fire, is either fight or die.
[03:52:20] I told you, guys, I'm telling you, Free Officers Movement, Free Officers Movement, Free Officers
[03:52:35] movement. It's either, it's either a laundry missile, okay, many such cases, or free officer
[03:52:44] movement, nothing in between, because I feel like this is way, way crazier than, than expected, right?
[03:52:57] This is why you gotta clean the lint trap. I just don't think it's a fucking lint trap
[03:53:00] situation man. Anyway, let me call Willard Neff. Let's see what he has to say.
[03:53:07] You know, what up? Mosh, mosh.
[03:53:18] Oh, I don't even get a call on Discord. I see how it is.
[03:53:23] Oh, you want me to call you on?
[03:53:24] I'm so called.
[03:53:25] You want me to call you on Discord? I didn't even know you were on Discord. I can call you on Discord.
[03:53:29] Is it because I'm so old that I'm not a used discord? Why don't you call me on my fucking rotary phone? Okay?
[03:53:36] Why don't you just make a signal? Okay? You're you're obviously in a good mood
[03:53:41] Partially because the Knicks
[03:53:44] Deployed ancient antiquated dark arts last night, which we all saw
[03:53:52] We were watching we were watching the game and also your reaction in real time so yeah
[03:53:59] Yeah. Yeah, they did. And it's crazy because the Spurs were so dominant the entire time.
[03:54:05] And then, like I said, I'm not going to blame like the referees or anything, but I am suspecting
[03:54:12] some cheating. I will be honest. I don't know.
[03:54:16] On behalf of the Spurs. No, no, on behalf of the news. On behalf of the news, excuse me.
[03:54:21] I saw this, Binter Wemmianov karate chopped cat in the face.
[03:54:26] Yeah. Okay. Dude. I saw players jump in on Jalen Brunson's ankle like a tramp.
[03:54:32] Dude, the way you described that injury made me think that like that actually was in some
[03:54:38] way shape or form the Spurs players fall. It literally wasn't listen, listen, you know
[03:54:44] what I know, Adam Silver and the big wigs at the NBA, they want Wendy to win. They have
[03:54:50] their new superstar. They have their new Michael Jordan.
[03:54:52] He's 22. He's 22. They don't care.
[03:54:57] The Knicks are not good for business. But you know what I'm saying, the underdog story
[03:55:04] of all time.
[03:55:05] I'm going to tell you right now. Okay. Listen, Jen Brunson, he grew up in the garden. Okay.
[03:55:11] Wait, I know, I know, you know, you know, we're both chips. They said he's good. He's
[03:55:18] athletic enough he's not big enough you know they couldn't measure the size of
[03:55:23] his fucking heart so you better get a bigger Frenchman
[03:55:27] eight-foot Frenchman fuck get a nine-foot Frenchman if you want because
[03:55:32] that's the size you're gonna need to stop these nicks baby that's how you're
[03:55:38] gonna need to put Wendy Yama on your shoulders of a Frenchman on top of a
[03:55:43] turn, get the whole world together to stop New York, baby.
[03:55:48] Okay, listen, Brunson is a new Brunswick born American individual like myself.
[03:55:58] So I have my sympathies with him.
[03:56:02] Some might even say I'm the jail in Brunson, a political commentary.
[03:56:06] Someone who's been consistently undermined, overlooked at times, who kind of came out
[03:56:12] of nowhere and is a real fucking fighter and will pop off in a moment's notice and and
[03:56:18] surprise people. So, you know, like I said, I, I, I don't have any smoke for Jaylen Brunson.
[03:56:24] He's fine. He's a new brunswick boy like me, but I do think that there is alchemy potentially
[03:56:31] at play. There's dark arts and dark magic because the whole point, the power of friendship.
[03:56:38] I know, but team chemistry and the power of friendship, I know.
[03:56:42] I know.
[03:56:43] It's the power of fucking friendship.
[03:56:46] I don't even understand it because they were, Spurs were so dominant, like first to, uh,
[03:56:52] first half Spurs are dominant.
[03:56:54] They're killing it.
[03:56:55] They almost killed Jaylen Brunson, which, you know, was not a good moment, but, uh,
[03:57:01] accidents happen, right?
[03:57:02] And then all of a sudden, all of a sudden, I don't know what the fuck Jaylen Brunson
[03:57:07] did 13 points to the fourth quarter. He discouraged Wembe Amma. Kat also locked his ass down, which
[03:57:13] was not great. And Wembe started bricklaying. I've never seen him like that. I've never
[03:57:21] seen him frazzled like that. And I think genuinely-
[03:57:24] It's because just like Luffy D. Monkey, Jalen Gunson called on his crew and they rose to
[03:57:31] the occasion. They followed the pirate king into battle.
[03:57:35] Yeah, well, all I'm saying is all I'm saying is his dark arts. He's never actually he doesn't miss like that
[03:57:41] He's a he's a lights out shooter and his performance was actually kind of surprising and
[03:57:47] I think it's alchemy or possibly poison. I wouldn't put it past the New York Knicks
[03:57:54] To try and poison our boy when we ama
[03:57:59] Well, I just want to offer something to you because you've been steadfast in your political career and your views
[03:58:05] I admire that you're not a flip flopper. You're not a waffler. You've sucked your guns, but
[03:58:12] if you go to New York still rooting for the Spurs, I can't protect you. I can't protect
[03:58:20] you from those next fans because there's a next storm in New York city right now.
[03:58:25] Oh, no, I know they're smoking on that pack. All right. I know. They want to kill. Yes.
[03:58:31] I know Merrill's talking about killing the, the, the Corgi that predicts the game. He
[03:58:38] wants to kill the Corgi. He said he wants to put the Corgi in a pillow, in a pillow case
[03:58:43] full of stones and drop his ass off in the Hudson.
[03:58:47] Yeah. He shouldn't have put all the chairs in his arm. That dog should have, that dog
[03:58:55] to let the basketball to the experts. Yeah. No, it's a little terrifying. Anyway, even
[03:59:02] if I wear it, the next Jersey on the outside, you know where my heart lies. Okay. Okay.
[03:59:08] That's all it is. Also, we're going to both of the, we're going to both of the games,
[03:59:13] by the way, game three and game four. Yeah. Yeah, we're doing both. We're going crazy.
[03:59:20] Is it because you want to gap up the president of the United States?
[03:59:24] Benjamin Indian is not going to be there.
[03:59:27] I really shouldn't be rooting for the next but I am a son.
[03:59:33] Yeah, no.
[03:59:34] The federal center next to my buddy Jimmy, rooting for the next.
[03:59:39] I find that to be so strange because like, I don't know why Trump thinks he's going to
[03:59:44] get a positive reception at Madison Square Garden right now of all times.
[03:59:51] I've got a beautiful building in New York, a sun, and on Tuesdays, we serve Chocobos.
[03:59:58] Oh my God, I'm watching someone literally chase down a dude wearing a spray shirt.
[04:00:06] We don't want, we don't want, we don't want, we don't want, we don't want.
[04:00:10] It's a Duncan one too. Come on. Duncan is an OG. He's a legend. You can't be chasing motherfuckers
[04:00:14] wearing a Duncan jersey. God damn.
[04:00:16] You're so big too. They're going to be able to see you wearing a Wemby jersey.
[04:00:21] I'm not wearing a w... No, no, no. I'm not that brave. Listen, I'm brave. I'm brave.
[04:00:26] I can oppose the nation state of Israel. I can be under the crosshairs of the United
[04:00:31] States of America and the British government as well. But no, I am not crazy enough to fucking
[04:00:37] wear a Wemby jersey amidst the fucking finals in New York City. Are you crazy? No shot.
[04:00:45] I'm not doing that. No, we gotta, we gotta get you a deep cut in next Jersey, like Eddie
[04:00:49] Curry. So that you are like, Oh, he's a real head. He's got a bad mix. Yeah. Someone in
[04:00:55] the chest that he'd have an easier time wearing his Bala merch. Let's be real.
[04:00:59] Yeah.
[04:01:00] By the way, did you tell the chat, did you tell the chat last thing I'll tell them?
[04:01:09] Nick's fan aside, I'm dragging this man to a Broadway show.
[04:01:14] We're going to see Rocky Horror Picture Show at Studio 54 baby, let's go.
[04:01:22] Okay.
[04:01:23] All right.
[04:01:24] Let's not leak more details of our trip though, because you know, I didn't say one day.
[04:01:28] Okay, all right. Yeah, it is will oh Austin's here, too. He's like, oh, of course he wants his moment in the spotlight
[04:01:42] What's that
[04:01:53] He hung up on you
[04:01:55] Yeah, I see that. I love your outfit. Oh, it's prime. I would never. I would never. I would never. I would never. I would never. I would never. I just wish you would wear suits every now and then.
[04:02:15] I have to be nice if you you're such a handsome boy you're such a handsome boy
[04:02:24] and yet you never wear suits he said next time I'll come on your room I'm
[04:02:29] gonna outdress you as a Lakers fan I was almost victim to a nicks fan Pogrom
[04:02:34] some time ago yeah dude they're vicious out here
[04:02:39] another homophobic incident. Oh, yeah. What is it? I'm so jealous y'all got mom Donnie.
[04:02:58] Man. Oh my God. It's so funny because I'm pretty sure he doesn't know that much about
[04:03:07] the nicks or gives a shit about the nicks like that. He's a gooner through and through.
[04:03:14] The NBA title was promised to us 53 years ago. The nick, but that's crazy. Okay, stop.
[04:03:24] Don't out him. Stop the slander, bro.
[04:03:34] I got news for you. Nick's fans in New York City fans are not violent against other teams.
[04:03:37] Seriously. That's the type of shit they do in Boston, but not in New York. I just watched
[04:03:42] a pogrom take place. I don't believe you. I've seen the way, I've seen the way the Knicks
[04:03:48] play and I've seen the way the Knicks fans operate. I will be honest though, I genuinely
[04:03:54] think if the Knicks win under Zoran's leadership, we might, we might implement full gay space
[04:04:01] This luxury communism in the country may be internationally.
[04:04:05] Yeah, this is crazy.
[04:04:08] That's a crazy fit.
[04:04:25] At least you didn't tuck it in.
[04:04:31] New York sports fans are more civilized and filier Boston fans that will whip your ass
[04:04:54] But it's like hockey rules
[04:05:07] Anyway
[04:05:12] Where the fuck were we oh the big dated dumps
[04:05:17] The first sizable drop yet where Steyr's beating the 15.5 target
[04:05:21] We think he needs his shift minus Hilton's in this is in this Sonoma drop is 16.4 very
[04:05:27] good sign for Steyer, but only if he can duplicate it in larger counties to follow.
[04:05:42] We got some new Israel pack watch polling.
[04:05:45] Most people across 36 countries have negative views of Israel and little confidence in Netanyahu.
[04:05:50] Yeah, bro. Keep yelling about me. New York post. I'm sure this will actually, you know,
[04:05:57] this might satisfy the donors, but it's not changing the fucking reality and the outlook
[04:06:06] for Israel. Best data point for Hilton with 239,000 late votes counted. Becerra is winning
[04:06:10] 57% of the Becerra star vote slightly above his 56.4 share in the early vote. Best dynamic
[04:06:16] for Steyer the outstanding vote appears to be very large in number and may get bluer
[04:06:20] over time.
[04:06:36] Felix T. Biedermann on the stream. Majority report had him on today. Whoa. Felix did Majority Report.
[04:07:00] California Governor's Race Update. Not good for Steyer at 2.25 PM unless overperforming in
[04:07:04] difficult terrain of the 40,000 he's below what he needs to get into top two in this batch only
[04:07:10] allocating percentages for top three candidates 33.34 means getting more than average trending
[04:07:16] winning towards winning. And Tom Steyer is, wait, oh, Tom Steyer is at 25. Oh, blowback
[04:07:35] was on MR, not Felix. Y'all are fucking so stupid. All right. All right, all right, all
[04:07:44] All right, well, I'm getting conflicting reports, but here's some good news. Here's a real drop.
[04:07:51] What is this? The gaze are plotting?
[04:07:55] It seems the latest right-wing experience in Sompiker is that he's a heterosexual man.
[04:08:00] I look forward to confronting him about it together next week. Me too.
[04:08:03] It's been something that I've been meeting to address with him for quite some time.
[04:08:07] Yeah, that's a guest reveal, by the way.
[04:08:11] Matt Bernstein.
[04:08:14] What is it about the Knicks?
[04:08:43] It's basketball.
[04:08:51] That's crazy.
[04:09:09] follow back is the New York City mayor account why would he why would the
[04:09:14] New York City mayor account follow me it was fucking not that long ago it was the
[04:09:19] real Turk keep this oris-theling loser away from the fucking nicks a great
[04:09:25] team and I'm happy for Jim because Jim has really been fighting hard to you know
[04:09:30] produce such a team so you never know the answers yes he's invited me I'm going
[04:09:35] I'll give you a second, sir.
[04:09:37] Say it.
[04:09:38] Game three, game four.
[04:09:39] It could be Monday.
[04:09:41] Yeah, Monday.
[04:09:42] Mr. President, I'll speak to the New York.
[04:09:44] Maybe I'll do both.
[04:09:53] I got the men's workwear fits.
[04:09:56] I did.
[04:09:57] The men's workwear, sorry.
[04:09:59] I got them.
[04:10:01] I got them.
[04:10:03] I got both the mom down to stand shirt and I got the WEMB revolutionary son shirt.
[04:10:10] Oh.
[04:10:19] Anyway, guys, stop spamming weird shit in the chat. Okay.
[04:10:23] Large majority of majorities in most countries have negative views of Israel,
[04:10:27] Canada, very unfavorable to somewhat unfavorable, 38% to 27.
[04:10:32] US 28 to 32, which is weakest fuck Pakistan
[04:10:39] 87% very unfavorable
[04:10:46] 87% oh
[04:10:50] My god
[04:10:53] Total unfavorability rating in Pakistan Zindabad is 95 Malaysia 89 where the fuck is turkey. Oh
[04:11:00] 97% unfavorable, bruh, Malaysia used to have the highest negative approval of Israel around
[04:11:21] the world.
[04:11:22] And now Pakistan is cooking West Bank East Jerusalem 85%.
[04:11:30] that. Bro, that's crazy. Turkish people hate Israel more than the Palestinians in the West
[04:11:40] Bank do.
[04:11:47] That is crazy, bro. Where's Japan? Oh my God, 83% Japan. Australia is 79. Bangladesh, 79.
[04:12:00] Singapore 72, South Korea 70, Philippines 64, and then India, oh god.
[04:12:09] India 28%. India is the only country that has a higher approval rating of Israel than a negative approval rating, a disapproval rating.
[04:12:19] And then oh and then of course yeah Kenny is 47 to 50 Nigeria is 41 to 47 and Ghana is 36 to 49
[04:12:49] That's the Evangelical vote in Africa. Yeah, I know it's Christian evangelicals.
[04:13:07] Yeah, it's a myth that centrists are overwhelming the support of Israel and liberals are divided over 80% of liberals and two-thirds of centrists have a negative view of Israel, but politicians and American media pundits act like it's only a fringe group when it sticks out of 10 Americans.
[04:13:27] We still gotta get those numbers up though.
[04:13:32] I guess India is just purely anti-Islam, right? Is that what it is? Indian Chatters.
[04:13:46] Is the, is the India support for Israel just straight up because they're killing Muslims? Is that what the...
[04:14:02] I'm
[04:14:12] I'm
[04:14:20] India is over a billion people.
[04:14:23] Okay, but this is still a poll.
[04:14:26] Not like it's a fucking
[04:14:31] All right, we got Mehdi Hassan, but before we do Mehdi Hassan, let's look at the New
[04:14:40] York Times article.
[04:14:42] Okay, the New York Times was gearing to drop this fucking bombshell.
[04:14:48] Okay, this explosive ordinance, the mother of all bombs on Grand Plattener.
[04:14:55] Okay.
[04:14:58] you will probably hear quite a bit from both liberals and certainly the entirety of the far
[04:15:05] right, entirety of the Republicans about the dirty laundry of Graham Plattner.
[04:15:15] Which by the way, Chris Hayes, Hassanabe head friend of the show, Chris Hayes, will be talking
[04:15:21] to Graham Plattner and the New York Times story at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, 5 p.m. Pacific. So
[04:15:35] we will tune in. What is this? The New York Times journalist who wrote this hit piece
[04:15:43] and a number of other hit pieces on Plattner was a co-president of her students for Israel
[04:15:46] chapter is Katie Glueck. Um, isn't Katie Glueck, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
[04:15:57] what is it? Katie Glueck was the, uh, former. No, it's not who I'm thinking of. Never mind.
[04:16:07] Did you say you're going to be talking to Plat? No. No, I'm not. Um, anyway, let's just
[04:16:15] Please read the article first. Let's read the article first. Several women who dated
[04:16:21] grand platinum recall unsettling behavior. Okay. The Democratic candidate for Senate
[04:16:27] and Maine could be charming women said in interviews, but some found his actions intimidating
[04:16:30] and disturbing. Holy fuck. It's a 20 minute long article. Jesus Christ. Okay. I'm going
[04:16:35] to, I'm not going to read the whole thing. That's crazy. Rumors spread from Portland
[04:16:41] Potomac about Mr. Platter's messy personal life. Look, the short and sweet of it is he
[04:16:47] dated a bunch of women. This is a string of women that he dated from, I believe, 2012
[04:16:53] to 2016. And one of them is a Republican operative, okay, like a far right Republican operative.
[04:17:05] That one is the one that actually revealed a lot of damning information.
[04:17:12] And yeah, it's mostly just like his former girlfriend's talking about the complicated
[04:17:24] nature of the relationship, not just the GOP-OP, he's the Heritage Foundation, yes.
[04:17:32] Times couldn't corroborate the claims their GOP operative source made about up about
[04:17:35] Platinum from when they dated in college, but printed them anyways. Mr. Platinum strongly
[04:17:39] disputes any claims of physical intimidation or altercations campaign said the Times could
[04:17:42] not independently corroborate Mr. Pee-Pee Fields account of the altercations.
[04:17:47] But yeah, it's an extensive conversation over the past two years, our past two months,
[04:17:53] thriller women who had been romantically involved with Mr. Platinum offered a far more complicated
[04:17:56] assessment describing volatile and toxic relations that were unsettling at times and
[04:18:00] emotionally wrenching. I swear to God dog if you defend this abuse fucking hell
[04:18:06] wait what I'm not defending anything.
[04:18:12] What are you like the the the relationships that are described in this
[04:18:19] article are are with the exception of the one former Republican operative the
[04:18:29] relationships are are described as like you know emotional
[04:18:32] uh... and and turbulent
[04:18:35] mister platter forty one combat veterans spoken openly by grappling with
[04:18:38] post traumatic stress disorder
[04:18:40] uh... depression drinking that he said resulted from his time in the military
[04:18:42] is revelations about him to the surface
[04:18:44] including his dismissive remarks online about rape and derogatory comments about
[04:18:47] women as well as a tattoo that is widely recognized the nazi symbol jesus christ
[04:18:51] he has said his past behavior does not reflect who he is today maynars he is
[04:18:53] urged should not judge him for the worst thing i said on the internet on my
[04:18:56] worst day 14 years ago. Critical accounts provided by three of the women interviewed
[04:19:01] by the Times who were each in romantic relationships with him for years.
[04:19:05] Give a fuller picture of Mr. Platner's life. They shed light on an earlier era when he
[04:19:10] has acknowledged intense struggles, but also raised questions about his more recent years
[04:19:13] in Maine, which his campaign has presented as a period of healing and personal redemption.
[04:19:17] The disclosures last week, Mr. Platner now married was exchanging sexual messages. Women
[04:19:20] as recently as last year have complicated that narrative and unnerved Democrats who
[04:19:24] the main seat
[04:19:26] as who see the main seat as a key to their efforts to regain control over the
[04:19:29] senate
[04:19:31] lindsey fifty-field forty of virginia conservative whose work for right-leaning
[04:19:34] groups and republican campaigns were called as a cavalierly contemptuous
[04:19:38] uh... cavalierly contemptuous of women's emotions of our weakness
[04:19:42] miss piffy field who dated
[04:19:43] mister platter
[04:19:44] from roughly twenty thirteen to twenty fifteen
[04:19:49] said that is offensive online post reminded me of just how much he hated
[04:19:53] women. Oh my God. Again, a woman who worked for the Heritage Foundation, just so you understand
[04:20:03] it, like they open at least they mentioned that she's a Republican operative in the fucking
[04:20:07] article instead of being like this is a random person.
[04:20:20] Annie Rakikot, 41, a main Democrat who said she dated him casually on and off between 2019
[04:20:25] and 2021, said the post deepened her belief that he did not respect women.
[04:20:28] When I saw the old comments that he made online, she said, I recognize the version of him that
[04:20:32] I had experiences with.
[04:20:34] Some of the women also raised questions about his trustworthiness.
[04:20:37] Mr. Plattener's insistence that he did not know that his tattoo was not a symbol until
[04:20:40] it became a campaign issue last fall was simply not true.
[04:20:42] Mrs. Feifei Field said, after all, she said he had taught her the word for it years earlier,
[04:20:48] referring to it as my todenkopf. Again, this is the Republican operative. So all the juice
[04:20:54] that comes from this article that corroborates, that creates the idea that he knew what the
[04:21:01] todenkopf was always, that basically leans into his, him being an immoral actor that
[04:21:09] knows what he is doing, all come from the same person.
[04:21:14] The rest of the stories presented are that he was a dude struggling with PTSD among numerous
[04:21:26] other things.
[04:21:29] There's no corroboration for any of the other, there's no corroboration for any of the things
[04:21:33] that Ms. Peefyfield said, and the reality of the matter is if there's like full knowledge
[04:21:39] of um there was full knowledge of of uh the totem cough which there could be again I don't
[04:21:49] know um I have no I have no uh dog in this flight about the totem cough I've said that
[04:21:56] that was a massive red flag for me too I mean he's a fucking Nazi tattoo um the other fly
[04:22:06] Five field, not Fifi, Fifi field, Fifi field, whatever.
[04:22:15] The other people that he dated would probably say something similar, right?
[04:22:21] Ginny Rakka, 41, Maine, recognized the version.
[04:22:24] Okay, some women also raised questions about his trustworthiness, his campaign story denied
[04:22:27] that he knew what the tattoo stood for, and in a statement to The Times and the Class,
[04:22:30] he said he had too often self-medicated with alcohol and was a far from perfect boyfriend
[04:22:34] during what he described as a very dark period in my life.
[04:22:36] I take responsibility for all that,
[04:22:37] and I wish I'd been better," he said.
[04:22:39] Any characterization beyond that is false,
[04:22:41] and I believe politically motivated.
[04:22:42] I'm not proud of who I was then,
[04:22:43] but I am proud of the work I've done since
[04:22:45] and the movement we are building in Maine.
[04:22:48] This article, based on the interviews with more
[04:22:49] than two dozen people, including six women
[04:22:51] who had been romantically involved with Mr. Planner,
[04:22:53] that Tom spoke with friends or acquaintances
[04:22:55] of several women, reviewed contemporaneous,
[04:22:57] texts, and social media messages,
[04:22:58] and saw some of Ms. Feefield's diary entries.
[04:23:01] Mr. Planner declined to be interviewed for this article.
[04:23:03] The women who described difficult relationships with Mr. Plattener knew him at different points
[04:23:06] in his life.
[04:23:07] Ms. Feefield says she dated him, starting when they were both in their late 20s in Washington
[04:23:11] during a time where Mr. Plattener has described as challenging.
[04:23:14] Ms. Rackicott knew him in Maine when they were in their mid-30s, and he was living in Sullivan
[04:23:18] Maine and working on his oyster farm.
[04:23:19] The third woman, a Democrat from Maine, who spoke on the condition of Annan Amity, had
[04:23:22] a long-distance relationship with Mr. Plattener on and off for years, recently as 2016.
[04:23:27] The three described him as similar terms, spending time with him could be exhilarating,
[04:23:30] they said, but they also recounted patterns of heavy drinking and womenizing.
[04:23:33] the sum of how he treated her, the third woman said she felt like collateral damage to the
[04:23:37] world that is his. When Ms. Feefield first met Mr. Plattner in 2013, he was a student
[04:23:42] at George Washington University and she was working on veterans issues at the US Chamber
[04:23:45] of Commerce and beginning to make a name for herself as a conservative activist online.
[04:23:48] The roughly two year on again, off again relationship as Ms. Feefield, uh, texted her in 2016, according
[04:23:54] to a message review by the times, you are literally Lindsay. I love you in a way that
[04:23:58] I can't even describe, you are literally everything to me."
[04:24:04] She says she recognized that Mr. Plattner was struggling with the aftermath of his military
[04:24:06] service and thought she could help him.
[04:24:08] Ms. Feefield, who was navigating family challenges at the time, recalls that period is emotionally
[04:24:11] rocky for her, too.
[04:24:15] Mr. Plattner could be rubbed with her, Ms. Feefield said, particularly when they were
[04:24:18] drinking, leaving her shaken and sometimes afraid.
[04:24:20] In the interviews, Ms. Feefield grappled with how to process her experiences.
[04:24:22] She was quick to note that, he never hit me, he never punched me, but she said he regularly
[04:24:27] grabbed her brother's shoulder, sometimes hard enough to leave marks, and on one occasion
[04:24:30] yanked her out of a cab by her wrist after an argument when she wanted to stay in the
[04:24:33] car. During one argument, she recalled he twisted her arm behind her back, shoved her
[04:24:37] into a bedroom, and held her door, held the door closed from the other side so she couldn't
[04:24:41] get out, telling her to remain there until she was calm. Eventually, Ms. Feefield said
[04:24:45] she felt this, she fell asleep and left the next morning. It hurts, she said, but she
[04:24:48] added, it didn't cause an injury, it didn't break my arm. Mr. Plattner strongly disputes
[04:24:52] any claims of physical intimidation
[04:24:54] or altercations campaign said the times could not independently corroborate
[04:24:59] miss fee feels a count of the altercations
[04:25:01] miss field also recall the mister platter's displays of weaponry in
[04:25:04] discussions of violence sometimes left their uneasy
[04:25:06] she said he kept an air fifteen lying around his apartment on capitol hill and
[04:25:10] was sharpening acts a relic from his time working on the appellation trail
[04:25:13] before enlisted in the marines while watching television
[04:25:16] he had
[04:25:17] what she described as a warrior ethos and would fantasize about killing people he
[04:25:20] deemed a threat she said
[04:25:22] she said he told her that rape was about power
[04:25:25] it was something that stuck with her through the years mister uh... miss
[04:25:27] v field said
[04:25:28] said there's a lot of anybody broken here i would rape them she recalled
[04:25:32] saying that he added that it would not be in a sexual way not in a gay way
[04:25:36] he was i would rape them to show them that i'm dominant she said
[04:25:39] asked about those remarks of platter campaign official did not dispute them
[04:25:42] a friend who knew platter miss v field during that period said the comments
[04:25:45] sounded out of character
[04:25:47] mister platter had overlapping relations other women while he miss v field
[04:25:50] dated also referred to women
[04:25:52] as hatchet wounds
[04:25:53] miss vfield said a crude term for the female anatomy
[04:25:56] the times review the text to miss vfield mister platter along with google
[04:25:59] chat exchanges text and facebook messages in miss vfield and her friends
[04:26:02] during and after the relationship
[04:26:05] uh...
[04:26:07] he showed up
[04:26:09] girls house drunk randomly in this article drunk there are multiple
[04:26:12] victims not just heritage foundation person
[04:26:16] the times also reviews of a miss vfield's diary entries from after the
[04:26:20] relationship, but ended and spoke with two of her friends who confirmed that the pair
[04:26:23] had an emotionally volatile relationship but could not corroborate the physical altercations
[04:26:27] or most controversial comments she described.
[04:26:30] Ms. Fefield says she did not expect her friends to offer that corroboration because she did
[04:26:33] not tell anyone at the time saying she had been embarrassed.
[04:26:35] The impact of the relationship on Ms. Fefield's life lingered for years, she said.
[04:26:40] She referred to him in a diary entry on in June 2016 as the most toxic, literally abusive
[04:26:45] man on earth who destroyed my life.
[04:26:47] close to her, encouraged her to move on, do not call Graham a friend's message, a friend
[04:26:51] messaged her that year.
[04:26:55] Ms. Feefield, who is affiliated with Independent Women and Conservative Group, insisted that
[04:26:59] her political beliefs had nothing to do with her choice to come forward. She worked briefly
[04:27:02] on Nikki Haley's 2024 presidential campaign and before that for the Heritage Foundation,
[04:27:07] a conservative think tank. Ms. Feefield said she had not been paid by any campaign or political
[04:27:11] entity since Ms. Haley's campaign.
[04:27:18] Mr. Platner's campaign said in a statement, let's be very clear, this is a lifelong GOP
[04:27:22] operative who's dedicated her career to electing Republicans. Ms. Feefield said she had no
[04:27:26] connection to campaign of Senators Susan Collins. Mr. Platner is likely Republican opponent.
[04:27:30] She acknowledged independent women had been supportive of Ms. Collins, but said she had
[04:27:33] not been active with the organization recently. I know it looks like a bitter ex-girlfriend
[04:27:37] Republican trying to take down a Democrat. It has nothing to do with that, Ms. Feefield
[04:27:40] said, if he was running as a Republican, I would be doing this exact same thing. I am sorry.
[04:27:58] Look, I don't believe that. I don't, I don't, I don't believe that.
[04:28:02] that. I don't think that she would, I don't think that she would actually come out against
[04:28:13] the Republican, I mean, I, okay, here, here's the chair of the Independent Women's Forum,
[04:28:25] the right-wing group where Lindsay Feefield is a fellow bragging about helping draft
[04:28:28] Susan Collins remarks when she voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh. Feefield is New York Times
[04:28:32] main source and the only one alleging anything physical.
[04:28:51] That took literally three seconds, by the way.
[04:28:55] That's incredible.
[04:28:57] Like, I disputed this purely on the basis that this is a Republican operative, okay?
[04:29:04] I disputed it purely on the basis that she's a Republican operative.
[04:29:08] And in literally less than three seconds, we found a story of the institution that
[04:29:12] she's a part of that directly drafted the memo for Susan Collins when she had to explain
[04:29:19] why she voted for Brett Kavanaugh.
[04:29:25] I mean, that's crazy, that's, I mean, it's the Heritage Foundation.
[04:29:34] By the way, I do also want to remind people that when Roy Moore was outed as a pedophile,
[04:29:39] the Republicans didn't turn around and go, oh, we should actually drop Roy Moore, okay?
[04:29:45] What they did instead was look for a no-you opportunity.
[04:29:50] And lo and behold, who was in the crosshairs of that no-you projection opportunity?
[04:29:57] Al Franken, Al Franken was the guy that they chose to dump on, and who did they utilize
[04:30:06] to dump on Al Franken?
[04:30:08] A right wing Republican Fox News radio host who claimed after the fact, many years after
[04:30:16] the fact that Al Franken taking like a photo where he's like doing this over her sleeping
[04:30:23] body wearing a military vest when they went on tour was actually very inappropriate.
[04:30:31] And Al Franken literally alongside Kirsten Gillibrand and numerous other Democrats was
[04:30:35] forced to resign.
[04:30:44] He literally apologized, he resigned, Democrats push for it to happen.
[04:30:52] You know what didn't happen?
[04:30:55] Republicans advocating, the Republicans advocating for Roy Moore to drop out of the race, okay?
[04:31:08] Do you not believe six women?
[04:31:09] Did I say I don't believe any of these women?
[04:31:13] I did not say that.
[04:31:16] I think that there is a high bar or a Republican operative that has worked on campaigns defending,
[04:31:30] campaigns defending other people being out at his rapist and then having female congresspersons
[04:31:38] including Susan Collins was literally running against Graham Plattner. They've written fucking
[04:31:43] notes on why it was justifiable to vote for, why it was justifiable to appoint Brett Kavanaugh.
[04:31:56] Like, believe women means do not reflexively disbelieve women. I'm not disbelieving any
[04:32:02] of these women, but it doesn't also mean believe Republican operatives unconditionally across
[04:32:06] the board, okay? My standards for like random people that he's dated and aspects of their
[04:32:16] personal explanations and their personal statements, especially if they corroborate
[04:32:26] some of the things that fee field is saying, will place, will have a much, much higher,
[04:32:32] will be applied with a much higher standard of veracity than a fucking Republican operative.
[04:32:42] To me, to me, Ms. B Field, I put in a totally separate category, okay?
[04:33:09] If there are other women in this article, even like Republican voters, it doesn't matter.
[04:33:13] If they're Republican voters, it doesn't matter.
[04:33:15] But if they're like random people that he is dated in this article that corroborates
[04:33:20] some of the aspects of Miss Feefield's sentiment, then I think there's reason to not be so skeptical
[04:33:28] of what she's saying.
[04:33:30] But a political operative is very different.
[04:33:33] a political operative that worked for the heritage foundation
[04:33:36] that worked
[04:33:38] an institution
[04:33:40] that directly wrote susan collins is fucking
[04:33:43] uh... statement as to why she must have voted for why she had to vote for
[04:33:47] brett cabana
[04:33:49] there's an inconsistency there that's important right
[04:33:54] uh... we were approached and i think you tell us how to talk about
[04:33:58] supporting cabana without alienating the meeting
[04:34:01] we wrote a memo
[04:34:02] It was used by a lot of members of the Senate and the House and Fox News and
[04:34:07] elsewhere. But most important is Susan Collins told me that without that memo
[04:34:11] she could not have seen how to support him.
[04:34:14] And if you look at her speech that she gave on the Senate floor,
[04:34:18] it is entirely the playing out an architecture of how we set to structure
[04:34:22] the argument and what to say and how to say it, which is just so gratifying.
[04:34:28] People are trying to discredit Lindsay Feefield for her history as a right wing
[04:34:31] But if she were a mere partisan hack, she could have been a lot more bombastic with her claims
[04:34:35] Also, believe women doesn't end on a partisan borderline. No, I don't think so
[04:34:38] I think the the more bombastic claims would have probably met
[04:34:43] like actual legal scrutiny and
[04:34:48] Therefore this is the perfect level of
[04:34:52] Because none of the none of these claims are saying like oh, I was like she literally openly will say oh
[04:34:59] He never actually like physically hurt me, right?
[04:35:02] There were times when things got a little physical and I was I was scared or I was conflicted
[04:35:08] But she very openly will be like he never he never hit me. He never hurt me
[04:35:12] So it's actually very fair and balanced in that sense
[04:35:16] which is
[04:35:18] It doesn't reach the standard of like
[04:35:21] It doesn't reach the standard of like like legal repercussions
[04:35:25] Anyway, Carrie Lucas, oh, Carrie Lucas, the president of Independent Women said Ms. Feefield
[04:35:34] had never been an employee and was last paid by the organization in 2022.
[04:35:38] The total amount she was paid, Ms. Lucas said, was roughly $15,000 over 2021 and 2022.
[04:35:48] Mr. Plattner's campaign arranged interviews for the Times with three other women who dated
[04:35:52] him over a period of seven years and all support his candidacy. They described a very different
[04:35:57] kind of relationship. Caroline Lemp, who dated Mr. Plattenham for several months in 2013,
[04:36:01] described him as a gentle giant. She said he never made her feel unsafe or showed signs
[04:36:05] that he was struggling with the physical or mental effects of his military service. He
[04:36:08] was a great boyfriend, said Ms. Lemp, 36, who now lives in St. Louis. He was super kind,
[04:36:13] very nice, fun. The others who spoke on the condition of anonymity said Mr. Plattenham
[04:36:17] was never physically threatening. One, a nurse from Belfast, Maine, who dated him for a couple
[04:36:21] months after return home from Maine, described him as responsible, intelligent, and supportive.
[04:36:25] Another who dated him and watched him between 2011 and 2013 said she witnessed some potentially
[04:36:29] problematic behavior, referring to his heavy drinking, but she felt really safe with him,
[04:36:33] she said.
[04:36:34] My totem cough.
[04:36:35] Last fall, a few months after announcing his campaign for Senate, Mr. Plattner said that
[04:36:38] he had learned from news media inquiries that the tattoo on his chest was widely recognized
[04:36:42] as a Nazi symbol, and he moved to cover it.
[04:36:46] Mr. Plattner said that he hadn't known what the image was other than a terrifying living
[04:36:49] sculling crossbones on the wall of the tattoo parlance split Croatia where he
[04:36:53] and other marines and his unit had it done in twenty uh... two thousand seven
[04:37:01] it was not until i started hearing from reporters in DC insiders that i realized
[04:37:04] that the tattoo is miss feefield called that a lie
[04:37:07] mister platter she said
[04:37:08] knew when they were dating years ago that the tattoo was a nazi symbol and he
[04:37:10] called it my totem call i would never have known what that was she said he
[04:37:13] would joke about it being a nazi tattoo
[04:37:15] miss feefield said
[04:37:16] she told her that he and the other members of his unit selected that you
[04:37:18] because they were like a death unit. They were the killers and saw a parallel between
[04:37:22] their unit and the Nazi Schottstaffel or SS unit that used the skull and crossbones image.
[04:37:31] They literally deliberately selected it because it was relevant to their military unit, she
[04:37:34] said. Mr. Plattner strongly disputes Ms. Feefield's account of what he knew about the tattoo and
[04:37:39] what he told her, his campaign said.
[04:37:46] This campaign noted that he had not hidden his tattoos since receiving it, taking it
[04:37:49] off his shirt and photos at the beach and at the gym.
[04:37:52] I lived my entire life like a regular person with a skull and crossbones on their chest.
[04:37:55] He sat on a liberal podcast in October after showing videos of him dancing shirtless as
[04:37:59] brother's wedding at no point in his entire experience of my life.
[04:38:03] Did anybody ever want to say, Hey, you're a Nazi in a private chat in a private chakra
[04:38:07] blast summer months before Mr. Platinum acknowledged tattoo himself.
[04:38:09] Ms. Feefield told friends that her ex-boyfriend turned to Canada as a Nazi tattoo on his in
[04:38:13] his chest.
[04:38:14] Hmm.
[04:38:15] Todankoff, she told him on August 20th, according to a screenshot she shared with the Times,
[04:38:18] an actual one.
[04:38:20] So there's no text messages corroborating that he knew, but there are text messages that
[04:38:24] she was sharing as a Republican operative with other friends of hers when he was announced.
[04:38:35] When he announced that he was running, but before he acknowledged the tattoo himself,
[04:38:39] a republican operative told other people
[04:38:42] that this
[04:38:44] actually had a totem cough on his chest
[04:39:01] i will personally go campaign for cost you wrote to her friends reacted with a
[04:39:04] crying laughing emoji the common was a joke missy field told the times record
[04:39:08] show no evidence of any relationship between Ms. Feefield and Collins' campaign.
[04:39:11] Throughout his campaign, Mr. Planners presented his life as a story of recovering personal
[04:39:15] growth. He's described himself as self-medicating and drinking heavily and becoming very emotionally
[04:39:18] distant during his time in the military, which ended in 2012. He says the year's immediately
[04:39:21] afterwards a relationship with a girlfriend while he was serving in the Marines totally
[04:39:25] fell apart because he was just a wreck of a human being. He said in an interview with
[04:39:27] The Times that in 2016 he returned to a small hometown Sullivan, Maine with therapy from
[04:39:31] the Department of Veterans Affairs. He got a treatment for PTSD, anxiety and depression,
[04:39:34] to build a new life. In 2018, he took over an oyster farm from a family friend.
[04:39:39] Still he stayed active on Reddit, offering a glimpse into his unvarnished thinking in more
[04:39:42] than 1,400 messages between 2016 and 2021, when he says he stopped posting. Many of his online
[04:39:48] messages indicated that Mr. Platter was still processing experiences in the military,
[04:39:51] others focused on oyster farming at the joys of life in Maine. By 2021, he wrote,
[04:39:54] he no longer believed in any of the patriotic nonsense that made him want to enlist and had
[04:39:57] become a firm believer that the best thing a person can do is help their neighbors and live a
[04:40:02] loving life. I'm a vegetable growing psychedelics taking socialists these days, he wrote. Still
[04:40:07] got the guns though. I don't trust the fascists to act politely. He has since said he abhors
[04:40:12] political violence. Again, this is by the way the most commonly shared perspective, this
[04:40:19] sorry, by second amendment lovers. Second amendment enjoyers when they're Republican
[04:40:24] get to say, why do we have the second amendment? Because we want to overthrow a tyrannical
[04:40:28] government if they ever choose to engage in tyranny.
[04:40:33] That is the exact same thing, but he's saying it while also claiming that he's a socialist
[04:40:38] and therefore it's obviously objectionable, immoral, perhaps the most violent thing anyone
[04:40:43] could ever say.
[04:40:44] Remember that.
[04:40:46] Remember that.
[04:40:48] Republicans will always say that they have the Second Amendment to protect the first.
[04:40:53] They believe in the second amendment because they will overthrow a violent fascist government,
[04:40:59] a violent tyrannical government, right?
[04:41:02] No Republican to this fucking day I have ever heard from a single fucking Republican
[04:41:08] that has turned around, dog shut the fuck up, this chat sucks ass, Plattener dick writers
[04:41:12] in the chat.
[04:41:13] This has absolutely nothing to do with Graham Plattener.
[04:41:16] This is a totally separate principle that I oppose.
[04:41:19] The idea that when Republicans say, I believe in the Second Amendment, everyone goes, well,
[04:41:24] that's a patriot right there.
[04:41:26] But when someone says, I'm a socialist and I believe in the Second Amendment, everyone
[04:41:29] goes, you're a fucking terrorist, okay?
[04:41:33] Just remember that.
[04:41:42] I like them chatters can complain all they want
[04:42:05] But as a relationship with women have remained complicated, November 23, Mr. Planner married
[04:42:20] Amy Gertner, former teacher from nearest hometown, one year later. An anonymous Facebook user
[04:42:25] went on a private page called, I read it in the same guy, shared an image with Mr. Planner,
[04:42:28] smiling broadly, sporting a teacher with a line, drawing of oysters, ghosting me in the
[04:42:32] pass read the message. Then popped up on a different dating app. I'm concerning may have
[04:42:36] a significant other out there.
[04:42:37] Comments drew replies from at least six women, several of whom noted that he was married
[04:42:41] according to Srinivas post by the main wire, a conservative media outlet. Miss Rakikot,
[04:42:46] who was one of the other women who commented on the chain confirmed that the post was real
[04:42:49] as the second woman who commented on it. As about the past, as about the post and a follow-up
[04:42:53] interviewed in this spring, Miss Rakikot, who said she agreed with many of Mr. Plattener's
[04:42:58] policy says she had an off and on relationship with Mr. Platter and had positive memories.
[04:43:04] But she was not shocked, she said. When she saw the incendiary comments he had made about women
[04:43:09] that have surfaced during the campaign, I was like, that makes sense. This person does not
[04:43:12] respect women. Ms. Ragicott also said that in 2021 he arrived at her house drunk.
[04:43:19] After she had asked him not to come over, she declined to elaborate but said she cut off
[04:43:22] contact soon after the episode and found his behavior reckless and unsettling.
[04:43:26] Last week, The Wall Street Journal in Times detailed Ms. Gertner's efforts to warn his
[04:43:30] campaign staff about some potentially explosive information in the early days of his candidacy,
[04:43:33] her husband, she said, had been exchanging sexual messages with multiple other women.
[04:43:37] Mr. Plattner sought to discredit aspects of the report, but acknowledged that Amy and I
[04:43:40] went through something hard because of me, and Ms. Gertner, who had become more visible
[04:43:43] presence in his campaign in recent weeks, posted a direct-the-camera video defending
[04:43:47] her husband and her marriage.
[04:43:48] No marriage is perfect, and I don't want a perfect marriage, she said.
[04:43:51] I want my marriage, and I want to be married to Graham.
[04:43:55] On Tuesday, Mr. Planner was asked by Democratic senators, wait, this is the end of the article?
[04:44:04] That's it?
[04:44:07] Okay.
[04:44:11] There were a lot of chatters who I don't think read the article.
[04:44:17] There were a lot of chatters who I don't think read the article and simply claimed that there
[04:44:21] were some like, there were corroborating information from other victims. Virtually every other
[04:44:28] victim with the exception of one that said, I didn't like that he came to my house drunk.
[04:44:35] Basically said he was fine. He was like a, he was like, you know, maybe a little bit
[04:44:39] of a womanizer and, and said misogynistic things that correspond to some of his misogynistic
[04:44:46] statements. And the only, the only damaging information in this article actually comes
[04:44:56] from the Republican operative. There's no sexual assault allegations. There's no,
[04:45:03] even the Republican operative is like, he never physically hurt me. There were times when he,
[04:45:08] like, there were times when he got physical, but he never physically, like, he never hit me.
[04:45:12] me. I want to specify that it never hit me. Like not, there's no, this is, I'm confused.
[04:45:30] Did the chatters not read the article?
[04:45:44] You guys made it seem like he was fucking engaging in rampant abuse, like rampant abusive
[04:45:52] behavior, like all of his girlfriends and all this shit.
[04:45:55] No, but I'm going to read it now because you refuse to read it on stream.
[04:45:58] Wait, what?
[04:45:59] fucking read it I read the entire article what the fuck are you talking
[04:46:03] about did I skip any parts did I miss something you just watched me read the
[04:46:10] whole article no you didn't are you baiting or are you fucking being
[04:46:19] serious like I did I did I miss something and maybe I met and maybe I
[04:46:28] met, like genuinely missed it. Like I didn't read the last two paragraphs, hold on.
[04:46:34] On Tuesday, Mr. Planner was asked by Democratic senators in Washington private meetings if there
[04:46:38] was anything else controversial in his background, he assured them there was nothing but he predicted
[04:46:41] his adversaries would lie about him according to a person familiar with private discussions.
[04:46:46] On the campaign trail, Mr. Planner consistently worked to reassure voters who had been rattled
[04:46:50] by what they have read about his messy personal history. He has said he had not lived a very
[04:46:54] complicated life. I have a lot of ex-girlfriends who told voters at the town hall in late April,
[04:46:58] they're all still my friends.
[04:47:06] This is what I've been saying.
[04:47:06] It's highly building an explosive bombshell.
[04:47:08] And yet the big headline is that Graham is an unsettling behavior.
[04:47:11] It's not the wave of everything, but it isn't what the New York Times wants it to be.
[04:47:15] I bet Chatters saw how above the fold this was and drew their own conclusions.
[04:47:21] Wait, why is that Chatter saying I didn't read the whole article?
[04:47:24] Yeah, the parts that I fucking skipped are the first couple of paragraphs that were just
[04:47:29] like introducing Graham Plattner, not like the actual meat of the article.
[04:47:34] It was just this.
[04:47:37] Rumors are spreading, and I briefly glanced at two.
[04:47:41] Yeah, I made the terminal planner, worked the phones, interviewed the New York Times
[04:47:45] Wednesday, several women did just that, describing Mr. Plattner as a fun and caring partner and
[04:47:49] saying they felt sick with him, some remain friends with him to this day, years after
[04:47:52] their relationships ended. Three other women who were romantically involved with Mr. Planner
[04:47:56] offered a far more complicated assessment, describing Balta Ivers. I started reading
[04:47:59] from this point on.
[04:48:18] All you did was dismiss everything you said and say well you didn't hit her a raper so
[04:48:23] it was not that bad.
[04:48:26] Dude made comments on Reddit about rape and is it chubb but of course he didn't actually
[04:48:29] abuse anyone because Republican women lie, wait what?
[04:48:31] Okay okay you need to be very clear mythic dream weaver.
[04:48:37] Did you want him to rape someone in this article like is that or are you saying that he actually
[04:48:42] raped someone but this article didn't show like I'm confused?
[04:48:47] very specific about, because I did read the entire article. Now you're saying, okay, you
[04:48:51] read it, but you dismissed it offhand. Be very specific about your criticisms right
[04:48:57] now. Is missing a woman because she's a Republican is nasty? You're not, you're being unserious
[04:49:05] now. I'm not responding to that. Is missing a woman because she's Republican is nasty?
[04:49:10] This is not, did you guys not hear what I said?
[04:49:13] There are, if this was a regular Republican voter, which I said, that had a bad relationship
[04:49:22] with Graham Plattner and revealed it, I would not make the same exact assessment.
[04:49:29] This is not just a random Republican, this is a Republican operative who has worked for
[04:49:35] a foundation that not only has taken away women's rights, but also a foundation that
[04:49:42] has specifically been involved in writing messages for Susan Collins and every other
[04:49:50] Republican that would allow them to do PR for people voting for Brett Kavanaugh, who
[04:50:00] who was once again, and I need you to understand this, responsible for lying to the American
[04:50:07] public and continuing to take away abortion rights, which Brett Kavanaugh and every other
[04:50:14] Republican that was appointed in that same time frame said was a super precedent.
[04:50:20] This is one of the dirtiest mere jobs I've ever seen, completely unsubstantiated claims
[04:50:24] from a clearly biased person was zero and I mean zero corroborating details as the
[04:50:27] The chat believed that Joe Biden's a rapist, he was directly accused of sexual assault,
[04:50:31] and that was not published in the New York Times.
[04:50:32] It's crazy to see the New York Times are washing in posts.
[04:50:34] It's a weird and out of the usual level of proof required for an article like this.
[04:50:49] I think that's my only problem, this has the potential to be a very terrifying experience
[04:51:09] for a woman.
[04:51:10] No, I agree with that assessment.
[04:51:12] I think that is the outside of the claims being made by Fuffield, which for the record
[04:51:18] are definitely emotionally abusive at times.
[04:51:26] Over a long and extended period of time, that Graham Plattner says was a time when he was
[04:51:33] like drinking heavily, self-medicating things of that nature.
[04:51:39] The only other instance that you could potentially, the only other instance that you can potentially
[04:51:45] point to as corroborating is that he showed up drunk to someone's house, which led to
[04:51:51] her breaking up with him.
[04:51:54] And that's it.
[04:51:58] And that, bro, that was a different woman.
[04:51:59] No, that's what I'm saying.
[04:52:01] That's why I'm saying that that could be seen as corroborative of him behaving in a matter
[04:52:07] that is, behaving in a matter that is consistent with someone who doesn't care about the feelings
[04:52:14] of their partner, of their female partner.
[04:52:21] Tell me what this article claims. Any of the other five women are claiming the
[04:52:24] smooth brain id-ball chatters you're saying all six are being ignored.
[04:52:28] What are the consequences you're being claimed by anyone other than the
[04:52:30] operative? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The other
[04:52:32] the other people just said he was misogynistic or rather
[04:52:36] said that he uh when they saw his Reddit post being unearthed,
[04:52:41] It reminded them, they said that it was like consistent with his worldview.
[04:52:52] This is yet another instance I feel like where,
[04:52:58] yeah, like they interviewed six of his former partners. One was the Republican operative,
[04:53:03] the other one wasn't. The other one said that there was one instance where he showed up
[04:53:07] at her house drunk when she said don't come over, that's fucked up. I agree. No defense of that
[04:53:13] whatsoever. And no defense of any of the other claims that the Republican operative is making
[04:53:17] either. But they interviewed six women, and the other four all said that he was a gentle giant.
[04:53:25] It was a complex relationship, but ultimately they still remained friends. Like, I, the way that
[04:53:30] this article was presented, the way that this article was, why is being misogynistic not disqualifying?
[04:53:37] Do you live in the same planet that we live in where, are you familiar with the American Congress?
[04:53:50] Or do you come from a matriarchial society where the matriarch runs the show and you just actually
[04:54:00] landed on US soil? By the standard set forth by the average American Congress person,
[04:54:06] We just looked at a Republican that boiled his wife with boiling water, okay?
[04:54:13] Boiled his wife
[04:54:16] with boiling water a
[04:54:19] Republican congressperson that is
[04:54:22] Unimpeded totally fine and is in Congress and earlier today accused Rashida Tlaib of being a
[04:54:30] Fucking terrorist
[04:54:32] A Republican congressperson from Ohio torched his fucking wife with boiling water and then
[04:54:40] tried to sue him or sue her for defamation and then had to drop it because it came out
[04:54:48] that there was an audio note where he openly admitted to it and also a written note where
[04:54:54] he apologized for it.
[04:54:59] The president is Donald Trump, Donald grabbing by the pussy, Trump.
[04:55:06] The president has been in a civil trial found liable for sexually assaulting E.G. and Carol.
[04:55:29] As far as like a fucking PTSD addled veteran goes, or as far as like the standards set forth
[04:55:46] by the average Republican or average Democrat Congressmen, right?
[04:55:52] Or even fucking Congressperson, really, I'm gonna put Katie Porter on the, on stage as
[04:55:57] well.
[04:55:58] Katie Porter also abused her husband, ironically enough.
[04:56:05] Graham Plattner is, you know, he's not even up there in terms of like what Republican
[04:56:13] and Democrat Congresspersons have done.
[04:56:21] Senator Whiteau says he's not impressed by the allegations against Graham Plattner.
[04:56:24] Seems like a lot of nothing.
[04:56:25] The only one who had anything to say seemed unsettling was a woman who works for right-wing political operations
[04:56:33] Now every goddamn Republican on the planet is gonna be like whoa Democrats love rape
[04:56:38] This story is going to turn into just like with the New York Post shit, right by all the fucking psychos
[04:56:44] The story will literally turn into
[04:56:47] to, Graham Plattner actually sexually assaulted all of his girlfriends.
[04:56:54] They're all actually demanding that he be jailed and the Democrats are defending him.
[04:57:05] And some of you chatters will go along with it because you already didn't like him because
[04:57:09] he was a fucking black water mercenary.
[04:57:13] So then you're also going to advance it see boom Democrats have a me to problem.
[04:57:27] Dude, I'm gonna be honest.
[04:57:45] I think American politics will never advance in a positive trajectory as long as liberals
[04:57:55] personally step on rakes
[04:57:57] and keep slamming themselves
[04:57:59] slamming their heads into the fucking concrete directed by the most cynical
[04:58:04] disgusting
[04:58:05] a moral
[04:58:07] vulture is republicans
[04:58:09] you've ever encountered they could literally be murdering children
[04:58:13] in broad daylight it means choking children and then turn around and go
[04:58:17] will this democrat actually talk shit about a child
[04:58:20] How do you how do you think child abuse is appropriate while in the process of choking out a baby a republican operative could turn around and go well
[04:58:28] That democrat actually said kids have bad vibes
[04:58:31] You like child abuse. Let me murder this fucking child first
[04:58:35] You like child abuse and every fucking liberal
[04:58:38] That thinks that there is like any moral equivocation here
[04:58:43] Will turn around and go you know what?
[04:58:45] Republican operative that's murdering a child right now in front of me choking the child to death
[04:58:50] Maybe even putting their thumbs in the child's eyes. You're actually right
[04:58:54] That guy is the fucking villain and in order to maintain some kind of moral purity
[04:59:01] In order to maintain some kind of parody here so that everybody understands. I'm the most
[04:59:06] I'm the most intellectually honest person of all time
[04:59:10] I'm gonna actually fucking disavow the the the Democrat that actually said children have bad vibes as
[04:59:17] The highest version of child abuse and then people will turn around and say guess what sweetie?
[04:59:24] Two things can be wrong at the same time. No, these two things are not on the same fucking
[04:59:31] stratosphere, okay
[04:59:33] They presented this bombshell story as Grant Platner is sexually assaulting all of his
[04:59:39] ex-girlfriends.
[04:59:40] And then the most the New York Times wrote about this was that a Republican operative
[04:59:45] that worked for, a Republican operative that worked for the Heritage Foundation claimed
[04:59:51] that she was scared of him at times, okay?
[04:59:58] And then the other girlfriends of his said that his misogynistic sentiment on Reddit
[05:00:04] corresponds to his personality.
[05:00:09] Meanwhile, Democrats brought Bill Jeffrey Epstein's best friend Clinton on the fucking
[05:00:23] campaign trail, and those very same Democrats that did that, because they thought he was
[05:00:30] an impossible to ignore Titan in American politics.
[05:00:35] So they trotted his ass over to motherfucking Dearborn, Michigan, those same Democrats and
[05:00:41] their operatives are turning around and being like, Graham Platner, oh my God, I can't believe
[05:00:45] bit
[05:01:15] I don't even care necessarily about Grand Planner all that much.
[05:01:24] I do worry that this tendency of liberals and leftists to fall into Republican-led traps
[05:01:40] But the hopes of maintaining some sort of moral purity or impossible standard, not on
[05:01:48] this issue, because then people will misabuse, will abuse my fucking words and turn around
[05:01:54] and say, oh, you're saying that it's an impossible standard not to be a fucking abusive psychopath
[05:01:59] or whatever the fuck, that's not what I'm saying.
[05:02:02] But broadly speaking, broadly speaking, it's very frustrating that there is a tendency
[05:02:09] among liberals and left this alike to consistently play into Republican traps. Okay. You have
[05:02:19] to stop doing this. Look at the issue. Look at the actual claims being made. Apply scrutiny
[05:02:29] if necessary, okay?
[05:02:32] And move on.
[05:02:39] As far as grand platiners behavior,
[05:02:42] the claims being made,
[05:02:44] they're toxic and they're unacceptable, okay?
[05:02:51] But no one is irredeemable
[05:02:53] and his actions in that relationship,
[05:02:56] albeit toxic
[05:02:58] and fucked up
[05:03:01] especially if
[05:03:02] he's no longer
[05:03:03] uh... demonstrating this kind of behavior
[05:03:06] are not irredeemable or disqualifying
[05:03:10] it bothers me that allegations are pretty much treated as equivalent
[05:03:13] regardless of severity someone is accused of being a bad partners cancel the
[05:03:16] same way that a rapist is i don't get that yet like
[05:03:26] Yeah, when the New York Times interview Ken Pax's former partners, throwback to when they
[05:03:40] endorse Cuomo.
[05:03:57] If necessary, ask yourself what's the alternative and one will quickly understand what Platinum
[05:04:00] is still to move.
[05:04:01] Bro, you're just a journalist, they're not going to listen to you.
[05:04:05] What do you mean?
[05:04:06] Dude, they they were talking about this is like the biggest oppo dump of all time that this is a Eric Swalwell style situation
[05:04:22] Once again once again
[05:04:29] Maybe a nothing burger if even when senator Whitehouse is defending Platinum
[05:04:33] They won't stop the revolvings from crying like babies. Just ask about the Epstein files every time they bring something up for the record
[05:04:38] I'm seeing reddit neolibs defend platner here. Let's see what he says on MS now later with Chris Hayes. Yeah
[05:04:46] So unless there's something else coming the big near times ex-missays that platner was a bad boyfriend to some women
[05:04:50] But also a good boyfriend to other women
[05:04:52] Yeah
[05:05:03] And here we go. It's a big question haunting Democrats.
[05:05:08] I don't always agree with Cassie, but I think she's pointing out something real about activists
[05:05:12] and normie definitions of violence and domestic abuse. Yeah, I hate to say it. It's a bad reality,
[05:05:17] but the assault allegation of a platinum piece will not register as domestic abuse. And most
[05:05:20] Americans in my opinion, the thing to remember here is that axiomatic bright line definitions
[05:05:24] are actually not the norm. If anything, in anything, people tend to have fuzzy Bayesian
[05:05:28] mental models for basically any category of thing. Most people cannot give you a coherent
[05:05:32] axiomatic biologically valid definition of, say, a tree or a fish, but they instantly
[05:05:37] know one when they see one, because human cognition is tuned for finding similarities
[05:05:40] between many related examples and intuitively grouping them together.
[05:05:44] Coming up with a bright line, axiomatic definitions that make these categories rigid enough for
[05:05:47] the law, or scientific rigor, or other modern institutional applications is actually hard
[05:05:52] for us and non-intuitive.
[05:05:54] This also applies to activism.
[05:05:56] High-information activism has strongly held beliefs in political programs, seek to establish
[05:05:59] clear axiomatic positions on social categories like domestic abuse.
[05:06:03] Because activists are thinking in terms of application enforcement, the state.
[05:06:06] You need the rigid definitions for governing. Activists also tend to have a
[05:06:10] more rigid and defined and coherent moral frameworks generally.
[05:06:17] A Fox News host literally just said the article doesn't detail any abuse.
[05:06:19] I don't even think they will try to spin this too far to what Cassie is saying.
[05:06:24] No, they will. They will. Because Republicans have never shied away from, on the one hand,
[05:06:34] decrying cancel culture when they are doing literally criminal things, while simultaneously
[05:06:41] applying a false standard of morality that they do not actually fucking abide by to their opposition.
[05:06:48] This is a consistent hurdle for those who want to advance humanity.
[05:06:54] If you are on the left, not only do you have to abide by your own moral standards always,
[05:07:01] even though human beings are complex individuals and oftentimes fall short of what they want
[05:07:07] to do, right?
[05:07:08] What they think is the best possible way to operate.
[05:07:13] But if you are on the left, or if you're a liberal in comparison to the Republican,
[05:07:17] If you're just like further to the left than your opposition, you not only have to abide
[05:07:22] by your set of standards, but you have to abide by their set of standards that they
[05:07:27] apply to you that they will never follow through.
[05:07:30] One great example of this is when people would turn around and tell train wrecks or
[05:07:34] XQC that they were bad for doing gambling ads, as opposed to what they were claiming
[05:07:41] I was bad for, which was their understanding of my worldview, not my understanding of my
[05:07:46] world view, but their understanding of my world view that dictated that as a socialist,
[05:07:50] I was supposed to fucking wear a barrel around my chest and create socialist systems personally,
[05:07:57] regardless of the impossibility of doing so under a capitalist framework.
[05:08:01] And when people would turn around and go, but you're fucking doing gambling as they
[05:08:03] would say, well, it doesn't matter because I'm bad.
[05:08:05] I'm like, I'm a capitalist and I'm not a good person.
[05:08:10] And therefore I don't have any moral standards.
[05:08:12] So I can do whatever the fuck I want, but my opposition is presenting themselves as good.
[05:08:17] That means not only do they actually have to be good by their own definitions and their
[05:08:23] own standards, but they have to be good by the standards that I set for them, okay?
[05:08:28] This is the reason why Donald Trump gets away with basically murder all the fucking time,
[05:08:34] and yet the average liberal will be caught in crisis.
[05:08:38] Not even my allies, I'm talking about liberals, center-right Democrats will be considered
[05:08:46] engaging in heinous acts in comparison to the motherfucking Republican or every single,
[05:08:55] to the motherfucking Republican president or every single Republican that has done heinous
[05:08:58] shit, okay?
[05:09:06] This is a real hurdle, this is a real hurdle that liberals and the left especially because
[05:09:14] the left also eats this from both liberals and the republicans alike.
[05:09:19] Because if you are further to the left than the center right democratic party, then they're
[05:09:25] gonna apply the standard to you.
[05:09:27] And the democrats themselves will consistently have to deal with this standard being applied
[05:09:32] to them by the republicans.
[05:09:34] The further right you go, the more bandwidth you have to be openly fucking evil, okay?
[05:10:03] The New York Times is open here in May for 6 weeks. They have been on the Planner X
[05:10:07] Girl from B for months and left no stun unturned. If there was anything else they would have
[05:10:11] put in the story. Barrel making is a lost art and trade. We
[05:10:29] could start a factory unionized from the start. They're in high demand for brewing and for
[05:10:32] future fashion for the super depression.
[05:10:40] Al Franken is the story and the example that I deployed here, specifically so that liberals
[05:10:48] and even people who see themselves as abiding by a much higher moral standard than the average
[05:10:56] person understand exactly what's going on here, okay?
[05:11:01] Roy Moore was a child rapist, and they metued Al Franken.
[05:11:13] I'm not an ally to Al Franken, Al Franken is not my ideological ally, I'm just explaining
[05:11:20] to you how Republican operatives work.
[05:11:25] And we keep falling for it.
[05:11:50] They did that to move the conversation away from Roy Moore's child rape allegations, and
[05:11:58] they did it successfully.
[05:12:20] Yeah. Also, the person that Lindsay Feefield apparently, Schumer dodging and slotkin. Okay.
[05:12:30] I'm sure slotkin will have an incredible time shitting all over Grand Planner. Just sent
[05:12:37] it, just sent a Democratic leader, Chuck Schumer, if he still supports Grand Planner and ignored
[05:12:40] the question and walked on the floor. Here is, where is it? Here is more background on
[05:12:49] this person. Where the fuck did it go? Didn't I just pull this tweet up? Where the hell?
[05:13:06] Yeah, she made all of her social media accounts private, but here she is blatantly lying about
[05:13:10] why Ramayza Öztürk was targeted by Rubio State Department.
[05:13:13] Mahmoud Khalil and Ramayza Östutik were not targeted for advocacy against Israel.
[05:13:20] They are being held accountable for destruction of property,
[05:13:23] organizing violent actions, making threats to Jewish students,
[05:13:26] and distributing materials funded by state-designated terror groups.
[05:13:30] You'll be surprised to learn you can't promote terrorism and death to America
[05:13:33] while you're here on a student visa or a green card.
[05:13:36] Let's see an update.
[05:13:38] This three-year-old American girl will be spending Thanksgiving in the hands of dangerous
[05:13:45] Hamas terrorist McCain, wrote.
[05:13:47] She's the youngest American held hostage in Gaza.
[05:13:49] I have a daughter nearly the same age as this American citizen.
[05:13:52] It's hard to fathom my Alice.
[05:13:54] Could be kidnapped by terrorists and held for over a month and not be a household name,
[05:13:58] wrote Lindsay Feefield, a visiting fellow at the Independent Women's Forum.
[05:14:02] We will make a place for Abigail on Thanksgiving, and everyone should.
[05:14:06] Washington DC on the solemn one-year anniversary of the devastating October 7th attacks on Israeli women and girls by Hamas terrorists independent women's forum
[05:14:14] Center for American safety and security is renewing its call for the Biden-Harris administration to take this is where she worked
[05:14:21] To take stronger clear action and addressing the surge in violence against women and girls the Muslim American leadership alliance joined IWF in issuing a demand letter
[05:14:36] whoever blesses Israel will be blessed and whoever curses Israel will be cursed and
[05:14:43] Bethany Mandel I've been close friends with Lindsay Feefield for 15 years
[05:14:47] I've known about Graham since they began dating. She cared a lot of trauma from their time together
[05:14:52] I'm so proud of her
[05:14:54] For her bravery and coming forward wife of Seth Mandel
[05:14:59] Bethany Mandel
[05:15:06] I think that's a good point.
[05:15:13] I think that's a good point.
[05:15:19] Mo Chakich, she's a professional fucking liar.
[05:15:22] She's a professional fucking liar.
[05:15:23] The thing that really distinguishes the stories about Platinum from the far worse stories about, for example, Max Miller or Ken Paxton or Tony Gonzalez is that they abused Republican women whose Republican
[05:15:33] father's got sick enough of their shit that they finally publicized it. None of this FeeField
[05:15:38] chicks friends will corroborate her stories. Come the fuck on. Yep. Well, Bethany Mandel did.
[05:15:44] Bethany Mandel, of course, is not exactly an impartial observer of events.
[05:15:52] Kirsten Gillibrand and John Federman. Oh, expected. Gillibrand.
[05:15:58] Wow. Gillibrand spokesperson said her comments where we are still going to win main.
[05:16:02] It's over. It's done. Kirsten Gillibrand was the person responsible for the Al Franken
[05:16:08] knife job from the Democratic Party side. It's, it's okay. Yeah, it's, yeah, you're gonna get,
[05:16:15] it's done. It's over. You're gonna get fucking naysayers from John Federman, possibly.
[05:16:24] John Federman, top planner critic, told me it's time for main voters get behind Janet Mills.
[05:16:32] I need you to be extra critical going forward of people that are viewed as a threat by the
[05:16:47] forces of capital and also Israel, okay?
[05:16:52] If you don't do that going forward, if you fall prey, if you fall victim to Republican
[05:17:00] engineering
[05:17:02] we will never build a fucking coalition
[05:17:04] at all
[05:17:06] ever
[05:17:07] okay
[05:17:08] it's not gonna happen
[05:17:10] it will never it will never take place
[05:17:12] it will it's over it's done
[05:17:16] if someone
[05:17:17] who is pro-israel
[05:17:20] and someone who's pro-republican
[05:17:22] pro-republican party a republican party operative pro-israel
[05:17:26] and also on top of that you know working for i don't know some fucking health care
[05:17:30] lobbying firm or whatever comes out and says this person actually
[05:17:36] uh like violently abused me but offers no evidence for example
[05:17:41] which this person didn't do okay you have to be
[05:17:45] way way way more skeptical of that claim
[05:17:49] sorry you have to because these guys are not playing
[05:17:56] the same fucking game as you are. You are running around with your endless fucking naivete
[05:18:04] thinking that the world abides by your standards. You run around and you think, well, everyone
[05:18:11] is honest, right, to a certain degree. No. No, they are not. And if there's one group
[05:18:18] of people that are exceptionally dishonest, it is always going to be people who are working
[05:18:25] for the Republican Party that are also on top of that, pro-Israel. Okay? I'm sorry.
[05:18:37] You how for the past, for the past fucking three years at this point, how many, how many
[05:18:49] articles have been written about me, how many things have my enemies said? And they're not
[05:18:54] not just, you know, people who are approached by how, like, you see it, you're in here every fucking day.
[05:19:00] You're in here every single day.
[05:19:05] So you know the truth.
[05:19:07] And you know the way that other people refer to me, outside, on the internet, oppositional figures,
[05:19:16] the way that they present me as the biggest villain of all time.
[05:19:24] There's a reason for it.
[05:19:33] What is this?
[05:19:34] The Steyr drops.
[05:19:35] We're so back.
[05:19:36] It's so over.
[05:19:37] We're so back.
[05:19:39] Guys, I'll tell you a story.
[05:19:47] Story of Karim Khan.
[05:19:51] Okay.
[05:19:54] Karim Khan is a British lawyer, Karim Assad Ahmad Khan, is a British lawyer who has served
[05:20:08] as a prosecutor for the International Criminal Court since 2021.
[05:20:15] You might recognize him as this handsome bald man.
[05:20:22] Karim Khan was hand-selected as an appropriate prosecutor to the ICC by those who are sympathetic
[05:20:31] to Israel, okay?
[05:20:36] But Karim Khan had a problem.
[05:20:39] There was far too much evidence that Israel was engaging in war crimes.
[05:20:45] So Karim Khan as a prosecutor started doing his job.
[05:20:51] there after, Karim Khan had sexual assault allegations.
[05:20:59] Like almost when he first came in to the job, when he first came into the job, Israel was
[05:21:06] like, yeah, this is a good guy.
[05:21:08] We're fine with him.
[05:21:09] Far better than the previous prosecutor that we spied on, that we sanctioned, that we got
[05:21:15] America to sanction, okay? As soon as he moved to prosecute, as soon as he moved to prosecute
[05:21:36] Israel sexual abuse claims. I'm sorry, but at a certain point, you have to be a little
[05:21:58] bit more careful with what you are listening to, what you're believing.
[05:22:11] There's a difference between a drunk asshole from a rich family or something and the motherfucking
[05:22:20] chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court or one of the one of the prosecutors
[05:22:25] Here's the ICC.
[05:22:30] ICC Chief Prosecutor Con, cleared of sexual misconduct by judges.
[05:22:47] Do you understand?
[05:22:51] similar took place with Julian Assange. Julian Assange rape investigation dropped by Sweden.
[05:23:01] Julian Assange was the famous journalist that was responsible for WikiLeaks,
[05:23:10] where a lot of things that the American State Department did not want anybody seeing was
[05:23:16] published. The American State Department, the CIA, and its officers openly talked about
[05:23:26] murdering Julian Assange. Talked about how they would potentially murder Julian Assange
[05:23:31] he was in, I believe he was in exile, right? He was in his embassy.
[05:23:47] In Ecuador, he was in political asylum. Wrote about the time the New York Times killed
[05:24:00] the story about a girl impregnated by the Mayor Kahan, the terrorist idol and spiritual
[05:24:05] leader of small-touch, bangivir and modern Israel.
[05:24:08] The cover of Shruck Me is the most succinct distillation of the breathtaking hypocrisy
[05:24:11] demonstrated every fucking day by America's genocidal class of self-appointed respectability
[05:24:15] gatekeepers.
[05:24:18] The girl jumped off a bridge.
[05:24:19] His breakup letter retrieved from her purse.
[05:24:21] The heartbroken rabbi started a non-profit inter-aim for Israeli orphans, he said, but
[05:24:26] blew all the cash on plane tickets and bar tabs.
[05:24:29] from Rosethalt thought publicizing any of this would create anti-Semitism.
[05:24:33] The guy was a fucking literal terrorist, but also a CIA asset.
[05:24:47] This is not about maintaining some kind of moral purity or an even moral standard, okay?
[05:24:56] Sometimes you have to look beyond the claims being made and try to understand who's making
[05:25:01] the claims and why they're making it.
[05:25:04] And sometimes you have to judge people's reception of these claims by where their ideological
[05:25:10] priors fall, okay?
[05:25:18] That's why I kept repeatedly bringing up the fact that if Grant Plattner, and people are
[05:25:23] going to call me a misogynist for this too. So just wait. Ironically enough, people who
[05:25:28] have defended rape, pedophilia, and numerous other horrible things are going to turn around
[05:25:32] and say, oh, it's on his defending grand planters. He's a dude bro misogynist. So just get ready
[05:25:38] for that. That's going to happen. Okay.
[05:25:47] You have to be a little bit more critical.
[05:25:54] That's why I always say, that's why I always say, Ultra's turning to RadLibs on a dime.
[05:26:08] It's not even Ultra's.
[05:26:14] Could this be a story if Graham Plattner was not a left populist slash anti-Zionist?
[05:26:28] The answer is no.
[05:26:31] If he was a run-of-the-mill Democrat, fuck no.
[05:26:40] not. But once again, the easy thing in this circumstance is for me to, the easy, God cuss,
[05:27:03] I'm not going to respond to this statement.
[05:27:12] I'm just going to ban you, actually, for a week because you're, I don't think you intend
[05:27:18] to do this, but I think you're personally baiting me right now.
[05:27:22] So I respond to something that you're saying that is like unbelievably cynical and it will
[05:27:28] be headlines tomorrow. My response to you. Okay? We often be a little bit smarter, buddy.
[05:27:44] Please.
[05:27:55] These conversations are like the inoculation process in union organizing which prepares
[05:27:58] workers with the tactics and deception they will be faced by union busters not
[05:28:02] inoculating is the biggest reason union organizing fails I would love to see a
[05:28:05] daily or weekly segment just on this topic so people can see how the
[05:28:08] capitals are manipulating leftist organizing so they don't fall for the
[05:28:11] shit my entire stream is that my entire stream is to every time I'm yelling at a
[05:28:18] chatter for falling for something is that that's why I'm doing it I try to
[05:28:26] utilize this, like I try to showcase record behavior in other instances. I'm not talking
[05:28:31] about this one, but I try to utilize teachable moments like that to explain record behavior,
[05:28:37] people who are overzealous and people who are organizing poison.
[05:28:48] Nithya Raman is starting to dominate, might actually free us from Spencer Pratt. Raman's
[05:28:53] rough benchmark is perhaps 11.2% so this is a 2 point over performance though
[05:28:58] turnout could change that.
[05:29:01] In any case, as far as, as far as Grand Platon goes, yeah, he's not the best guy, okay.
[05:29:25] not a good guy. I mean, numerous tours, Blackwater, Totemkoff Tattoo. He's not. As long as he's
[05:29:42] a reliable vote for Medicare for All and a reliable vote against Israel, that's the
[05:29:48] calculation that Mayners are making, I hope, because he will still serve a far better purpose
[05:29:53] than Susan Collins. Yeah, Ed and Jermantam, good tweet. Remember when I'm
[05:30:06] also at scandal was that he has a PhD and MD but hadn't done his residency yet.
[05:30:10] Don't downplay that shit either. He shouldn't lie about his qualifications.
[05:30:14] I love this guy. This is what a freak.
[05:30:16] Yeah, I'm reminded of Bernard Sanders' statements.
[05:30:27] He's not a saint, but I don't see many of those around here.
[05:30:31] And Bernard is right.
[05:30:32] Speaking of Bernard, many of you probably don't remember, but he wrote some pervy fucking
[05:30:36] poems back in the day, okay?
[05:30:39] If you think I gave a fuck about that shit and leaned into the idea that he was a misogynist
[05:30:45] for writing pervy fucking poems in his youth,
[05:30:48] you'd be delusional.
[05:30:49] Except, because I was like,
[05:30:51] who gives a fuck about some pervy poems that he wrote
[05:30:54] in like 1913, are you insane?
[05:30:59] Everybody said Bernie Bros are misogynistic.
[05:31:02] And it's crazy because he was being freaky-unk.
[05:31:06] He was being freaky-unk, freaky.
[05:31:12] And pussy too.
[05:31:15] But people forgot 2016, they forgot 2020, they have not built the backbone necessary to do this fucking work!
[05:31:37] Some of you are too young, and you had your socialist awakening in the last couple of years.
[05:31:45] So you didn't see what an ultimately hostile media environment will do to someone that they deem the opposition.
[05:31:56] You haven't been around the fucking block yet!
[05:32:02] No one is perfect. We're all human beings. We're all imperfect. We're all on our own
[05:32:19] fucking journey. We do bad things. We do good things. As long as you try to be the best
[05:32:25] version of yourself every fucking day. That's what matters. Jesus Christ. Focus on the issues.
[05:32:41] This is why the CIA does not need the FBI does not need to do Cointel Pro. Okay. They don't need it.
[05:32:55] First FBI leak on Martin Luther King and half of this chat would have been like, excuse me?
[05:33:04] Excuse me?
[05:33:09] Again, not a comparison between Graham Plattner and
[05:33:13] MLK before you fucking get on me on that. Not a comparison between Bernie Sanders and MLK.
[05:33:19] The reason why I'm bringing up MLK is not because of those other two instances at all.
[05:33:24] fall before you dullards try to make a comparison that I'm not intending to make.
[05:33:30] What I'm talking about specifically is about the tendency of a lot of people on the left
[05:33:39] and liberals to immediately fall for the oppositional framing coming from unbelievably reactionary
[05:33:50] neo-Nazis.
[05:33:51] Okay, fascists will run circles around you every single time.
[05:34:04] Every single time.
[05:34:05] time. Slander like this happens towards you all the time too. Yeah, no, I saw. For those
[05:34:23] suggesting, Asan wasn't actually sharing news in the original clip. The clip came from the
[05:34:26] same event, SHITCON 2021 hosted by Nick and Melana as this clip where Mizkiv stating as
[05:34:31] I was sharing news in a song confirmed it.
[05:34:34] They were porn stars but okay and he wasn't showing me them.
[05:34:37] I saw them over his shoulder.
[05:34:39] This is nothing.
[05:34:45] Does it matter?
[05:34:46] Of course not.
[05:34:47] The reply showed just how many people are operating in bath fate to the point where basically
[05:34:50] anyone who is normal would see it.
[05:35:01] That's it. These people are villains for a reason, okay? They're villains for a reason.
[05:35:09] They're not just like people that have bad opinions. They act out on those bad opinions.
[05:35:17] Some of y'all have to be a little bit more fucking intelligent about this shit.
[05:35:37] Like do you really think someone who is willing to fucking lie at the behest of a state that
[05:35:43] is doing a genocide and rapes and mass destruction of all civilian property.
[05:35:53] Would ever go so far as to embellish their personal experiences with the person that
[05:36:00] they now see as a threat to their emotional support apartheid state doing a genocide?
[05:36:06] What?
[05:36:07] You must not believe women.
[05:36:12] be fucking stupid. Someone who will defend the Nazi state will absolutely fucking go
[05:36:20] the distance. I'm honestly shocked that there wasn't even worse shit that they came up with.
[05:36:29] Jesus Christ!
[05:36:41] Help Collins campaign, but I believe from the New York Times reporting it they reported that there's been no coordination
[05:36:47] between the two and so you know these allegations I will say that I think the Nazi tattoo was enough to find him
[05:36:54] disqualifying, in my own opinion, but hearing these allegations as well. I just
[05:36:59] think that it's appalling and that we should demand better of our public
[05:37:03] servants. And I think that goes on both sides of the aisle, but all of these
[05:37:07] things coupled together, I think that main voters are going to have a really
[05:37:10] difficult decision because I read that story and it I'm outraged because I
[05:37:15] know women who have been put in situations like that with men. And I
[05:37:19] i think i'm more of a uh... of real one of the centers liberals as far as like
[05:37:25] my advocacy
[05:37:26] or any kind of check the donald trump's unchecked fascism
[05:37:31] as far as having a fucking blue congress
[05:37:34] straight up
[05:37:34] i don't give a fuck if altruism say all you want liberal zionist genocidal
[05:37:39] democrats the fucking win elections or whatever
[05:37:41] i want
[05:37:42] there to be some kind of fucking stoppage
[05:37:45] some kind of stopgap measure against the mother fucking republican
[05:37:49] acceleration towards fascism, okay?
[05:37:52] That's what I want.
[05:37:54] Ask him, is there gonna be more-
[05:37:56] You clearly don't!
[05:37:56] ...of exchange.
[05:37:59] Is there something new you wanna get ahead of?
[05:38:01] No, I mean, like we've, I've been,
[05:38:04] I've lived my life.
[05:38:06] Like I've been there for the whole thing.
[05:38:08] And it's, and because of that, like I,
[05:38:12] I mean, I know what I've been through.
[05:38:15] I know what I've, I know what my behavior has been
[05:38:17] when they dropped the opposition research stuff on us.
[05:38:20] And the whole time, there was always this like,
[05:38:22] oh, there's more coming.
[05:38:23] And I was like, I don't know what this more is going to be.
[05:38:26] I don't think anything I've ever done
[05:38:27] has been outside of the realm of what people do
[05:38:31] when they struggle, when they suffer,
[05:38:32] that kind of stuff.
[05:38:37] Yeah, that didn't age well.
[05:38:40] Listen, this is what I think.
[05:38:43] Can you trust Graham Plattenham?
[05:38:45] That is the question that I think main voters
[05:38:47] are going to have to, at this point, decide.
[05:38:50] He wants to paint a narrative of the redemptive arc,
[05:38:53] that this was him at a period where he was in a dark place.
[05:38:57] This has been widely supported, that he was suffering from PTSD
[05:39:03] after having served many tours in the military.
[05:39:07] He and I were in Iraq at the same time.
[05:39:09] It was a really brutal time that he was there.
[05:39:12] And so, you know, that is one of the narratives.
[05:39:17] But the problem is that some of the information
[05:39:19] that has come out doesn't match up
[05:39:21] with how he's explained it, the Nazi tattoo,
[05:39:23] when he knew about it.
[05:39:25] The fact that he is on this redemptive arc,
[05:39:27] but he was sexting with women just a few years ago
[05:39:31] when he was supposed to be happily married and recovered.
[05:39:34] So, you know, the problem is not just
[05:39:37] that these allegations keep coming out,
[05:39:39] but they are actually coming out
[05:39:41] and they are in direct opposition to some of the things that he's been saying.
[05:39:45] And what he said, he just gave a statement saying throughout this campaign,
[05:39:48] I've been open about what was a very dark period of my life where I struggled
[05:39:51] with undiagnosed PTSD, too often self-medicated with alcohol,
[05:39:55] and with a far from perfect boyfriend.
[05:39:57] I take responsibility for all of that and wish I'd been better.
[05:40:00] Any characterization beyond that is false and I believe politically motivated.
[05:40:03] I'm not proud of who I was then, but I am proud of the work I've done since
[05:40:07] and the movement we're building in Maine.
[05:40:09] Andrew, do you think there will be more coming out?
[05:40:13] Well, I feel like we're seeing a new story about
[05:40:17] Graham Plattner pretty much every other week.
[05:40:19] Rehabilitation apology a couple weeks ago,
[05:40:20] or last week it was the sexting story this week.
[05:40:23] It's this story.
[05:40:25] The thing about those Reddit comments is,
[05:40:28] the Republicans have not even really revved up
[05:40:30] their attack machine on him.
[05:40:32] So whether more stuff comes out,
[05:40:35] that is to be seen,
[05:40:37] but I don't think we're gonna hear the last of any
[05:40:39] of these allegations or the Reddit comments
[05:40:41] or the sexting or any of this stuff.
[05:40:43] And then I think it's interesting what Sarah said too.
[05:40:46] There's all of this, and then there's this Nazi tattoo.
[05:40:49] Which in a sense, it's amazing this all got passed go.
[05:40:53] Yeah, I think that's worth us gut checking on.
[05:40:55] There's been several of these scandals,
[05:40:57] and we see an electorate that's increasingly willing
[05:40:59] to look past imperfect candidate on DNR side
[05:41:03] for who they think projects authenticity.
[05:41:05] So I would say that.
[05:41:06] I don't think that what we're seeing in these allegations
[05:41:08] matches up to his narrative, as Lulu said,
[05:41:10] matches up to his statement about far from perfect boyfriend
[05:41:13] things like that.
[05:41:14] Like these things are serious and more of those things
[05:41:16] come out particularly as we get to the fall.
[05:41:18] I think that they really complicate this campaign,
[05:41:22] but the biggest thing I think has happened so far
[05:41:24] is like we haven't even talked about Susan Collins, right?
[05:41:26] Like this was supposed to be a race
[05:41:28] that was about Susan Collins being rubber stamp
[05:41:30] for Donald Trump and that was their path to victory here.
[05:41:33] I think this has become a Graham Plattener referendum.
[05:41:36] And I just think that's a more difficult place
[05:41:39] for Democrats to be in an already tough race
[05:41:41] than they were six months ago.
[05:41:43] But the last piece I would say is I also think
[05:41:45] the Graham Platner phenomenon is also because
[05:41:49] of who the establishment Democrats put up in that race.
[05:41:52] Janet Mills, for all of us much as DC
[05:41:55] or whoever Tung Schumer may like her,
[05:41:57] did not move the needle for those people.
[05:41:59] And that allowed Platner to occupy this space.
[05:42:02] And so I somewhat think that even beyond the questions
[05:42:05] platner individually, which are very real. We need to start, like if the kind of establishment
[05:42:10] lane of Democrats wants to marginalize those left candidates, they need to find people themselves
[05:42:15] who can energize people. And because the part to have this conversation was the primary
[05:42:20] and they missed that window.
[05:42:21] All right. Thank you all very much.
[05:42:22] Thank you all very much.
[05:42:23] And next, I'll take away tonight from an American college student who vanished without
[05:42:27] a doubt.
[05:42:28] Wait, I'm coming at this from not a liberal ultra perspective. I'd be okay with Graham
[05:42:32] serving the Senate. But electorally, I'm worried that these hits on him are fundamentally
[05:42:36] materially different than those living against candidates like Zoran, Rob, Hamawe, etc. Yeah,
[05:42:41] of course they are. Of course they are. Because Zoran, Chris Rabb, and Adam Hamawe are morally
[05:42:54] infallible characters. Okay? They have to, they have to be. Chris Rabb is black. Zoran
[05:43:05] is a brown Muslim man. So is Hamaoui. They have to be saints. Of course they have to
[05:43:16] be infallible. In order to arrive at the positions that they arrived at, they had to be infallible
[05:43:24] Every moment of their lives they had to be perfect every moment of their lives same with Barack Obama
[05:43:32] Same with fucking Barack Obama, that's why I bring up like Barack Obama's done shit
[05:43:37] Obviously when he was president that are horrifying, you know war crimes and whatnot
[05:43:41] But like to get to that point you think Barack Obama could have gotten away with any of this shit
[05:43:46] What are you fucking crazy? He's black
[05:43:48] Abdel El Sayed too. Some of you I think don't understand. Maybe you've never
[05:43:56] encountered like a white boy with with politics that resemble yours or
[05:44:00] something or maybe you don't recognize that you are that white boy but you
[05:44:05] can't get to this position.
[05:44:09] St. Parker comes California wants homo-fascism after his favorite candidate
[05:44:12] lot loses to gay progressive. This wasn't even about Scott Wiener.
[05:44:21] That's so funny. Anyway, this kind of stuff is, is so stupid.
[05:44:35] Dems reaction to the planner, making it transparently clear that vote blue,
[05:44:38] no matter who was always just the way to make leftists shut up and vote for
[05:44:42] centrist, not an actual principle. Yes.
[05:44:58] The current move on Lib Twitter is to take the Platinum scandals and say, this is why
[05:45:01] Abdul El Sayed should drop out. Candid quality matters. Republicans are going to feel it
[05:45:05] with Paxson and Texas, but Democrats aren't immune either. El Sayed and Platinum. What
[05:45:09] What are you talking about, El Sayed?
[05:45:13] What are you talking about?
[05:45:22] Is Abdul El Sayed scandal being Muslim or Arab?
[05:45:24] Which is it?
[05:45:28] They're giving the fucking game away, dude.
[05:45:31] They're giving the fucking game away.
[05:45:34] This doesn't actually end up hurting Abdul El Sayed.
[05:45:39] It actually gives the game away about what the fuck their approach is.
[05:45:44] If you're for Medicare for all and anti Israel, you're the threat.
[05:45:50] This guy works for fucking vote hub doing forecasting.
[05:46:06] This explains it perfectly average mom Donnie scandal.
[05:46:08] of videos are on saying Palestine would be free and the NYPD must fall at a rally in 2021.
[05:46:13] Average Abdul El Sayed scandal. He has two medical degrees, but can he call himself a doctor?
[05:46:18] Average Platinum scandal. Here's where Grand Platinum texted his mistress while standing on
[05:46:21] the skeletons of dead civilians in Fallujah, according to his Reddit. Okay, dude, chill.
[05:46:38] I like you, I do, but this is your worst position. Wait, what is-
[05:46:44] This is not about Grand Plattner. This is not about Grand Plattner at all. I need you guys to understand.
[05:46:49] This is fundamentally something that you guys need to be a little bit more aware about, okay? If you are,
[05:46:56] if you're a leftist, if you want to organize, if you want to build a movement, you have to be
[05:47:02] be a little bit more skeptical of narratives being formed by your opposition. Okay. This
[05:47:12] is not your officer covering the new squad members.
[05:47:14] The arrogant scholars believe that only the intelligence deserve to live on Ohara. So
[05:47:18] they began conspiring to wipe out the normal citizen in a terrible genocide. The world
[05:47:22] government learned of their evil plan and set a cypherpall unit to resolve the situation
[05:47:26] peacefully. They pleaded with the scholars.
[05:47:28] Okay, dude, I don't know why you're saying this to me. You see too much usefulness in
[05:47:33] a dog ship, bro. Just admit he's bad. This is some cost fallacy, some cost fallacy into
[05:47:37] a bad candidate. It would be a story and was one with Eric Swallow. You are not being sincere.
[05:47:41] He was fucked up from the jump and you see some worth in him to reach white men and it's
[05:47:45] crazy. You aren't being serious. He's a bad candidate. He's a patterned liar, inherently
[05:47:49] violent and you give people too much grace and being redeemable. He's on your side for
[05:47:52] one issue that he came out and started speaking out about after it was growing, the majority
[05:47:58] popular position. All this defending an inherently violent man for one seat in man. He was f**k
[05:48:03] candid to begin with. And because you wanted to trot around with this think like a chud
[05:48:07] bullsh**, you can't even say if this is true, this is bad because this is a sunk cost fallacy.
[05:48:11] You think you're making a f**king good point here. What the f**k are you talking about?
[05:48:14] You've literally made up different ulterior motives when I've literally openly explained
[05:48:20] you what my fucking position is.
[05:48:28] My take on planner stories regarding actually affecting the outcomes that made us bluer than
[05:48:31] Virginia and we saw this happen last year.
[05:48:34] Not only that, but electoral conditions have gotten much worse for Republicans since the
[05:48:37] selection. Just to get a read on the situation, hypothetically speaking, if there was another
[05:48:54] viable Dem primary candidate with a decently progressive platform and far less oppo than
[05:48:59] Platner, would we still be behind Platner? If they had identical positions, of course
[05:49:04] I would get behind the person that didn't fucking join Blackwater. But there is none.
[05:49:14] If, I'll give you one more thing. Yeah, there's no stopping Trump without Maine, by the way. So
[05:49:19] this conversation is ridiculous. And it's kind of funny that it's like leftist that kind of
[05:49:23] understand the severity of the situation, the severity of the crisis. There's candidates
[05:49:28] that are running or going to win their reelection, like Cory Booker, okay? Cory Booker is
[05:49:34] A pro-Israel stooge, he's a fucking, he is, you know, Israel's top guy.
[05:49:41] You think I'd be in favor of Cory Booker being replaced by a Republican who will also be
[05:49:46] Israel's top guy, regardless, what are you, fucking crazy?
[05:49:49] No, of course not.
[05:49:53] Like that's, I hate Cory Booker, and Cory Booker is still far better than another guy
[05:49:59] with a are next to their name that's also going to be israel's top guy anyway
[05:50:05] and if there was someone
[05:50:07] if there was someone out there
[05:50:10] who uh... was was running
[05:50:12] in opposition to grand planner
[05:50:14] and was pro-israel
[05:50:16] and anti medicare for all but had
[05:50:18] a beautiful track record
[05:50:20] like every single day went to every single one of his girlfriends they were
[05:50:23] like this guy best guy around
[05:50:25] literally could not find a better guy he saved puppies
[05:50:28] from orphanages that were on fire, okay?
[05:50:32] I would still say vote for Grand Platinum
[05:50:34] over the other guy who was pro-Israel
[05:50:36] and anti-Medicare for all.
[05:50:38] It's that simple.
[05:50:39] I'm gonna give a fuck.
[05:50:41] You're a servant, okay?
[05:50:43] You're a public servant.
[05:50:46] Put the fucking policies in the bag.
[05:50:49] Some of you are operating like you wanna be best friends
[05:50:52] with these motherfuckers.
[05:50:54] I know some of these motherfuckers
[05:50:55] and I'm not operating like I'm best friends
[05:50:58] with these motherfuckers.
[05:51:21] Yeah just one seat and that one seat in the narrow Republican majority Senate.
[05:51:24] Yeah, that one seat is the seat that allows the Democrats to fucking open investigations
[05:51:31] up, like to stop any kind of Republican advance in policymaking.
[05:51:38] Yeah, every one of Janet Mills' boyfriends vouched for her, by the way, well.
[05:51:50] Yeah, look at this motherfucking map dude you crazy you're fucking crazy
[05:52:09] easy. The rat fucking continues. Of course, Jake Tapper is probably having the best time
[05:52:24] with this again, guy who has no issue with his emotional support apartheid state that
[05:52:31] had a pro rape, January six riot is going to turn around and be like, wow, he was a toxic,
[05:52:37] He was a toxic lover, toxic boyfriend, ugh, ugh, no.
[05:52:46] We're better than this.
[05:52:48] It's lead new allegations
[05:52:50] against main Democratic Senate candidate, Graham Plattner.
[05:52:52] This time from a handful of women who previously dated him.
[05:52:56] The New York Times reviewed six of these women,
[05:52:58] three of whom described their relationships with Plattner
[05:53:00] as volatile and toxic.
[05:53:02] The Times adds that these women accused Plattner
[05:53:05] of heavy drinking and infidelity, demeaning behavior toward women.
[05:53:08] This is your worst position on vibes.
[05:53:11] Your tone on this is not good.
[05:53:12] Like I'm sure this will be the next to sound
[05:53:14] controversy from both the left and the right.
[05:53:15] You're arguing with vibes, not arguments.
[05:53:18] Wait, what?
[05:53:20] Both will be entirely misrepresenting
[05:53:21] your actual position on this.
[05:53:23] You're arguing with vibes, not arguments.
[05:53:24] Wait, what?
[05:53:25] I just gave you the argument.
[05:53:28] There is no Senate Democratic majority,
[05:53:31] which is the only way to at least curb back Trump's accelerationist madness without Maine.
[05:53:43] I don't care about the personal character of Graham Plattner.
[05:53:49] I don't care about the things that he's done unless it's like literally irredeemable.
[05:53:54] I think he's done irredeemable shit in service.
[05:54:00] And even then, I'm willing to overlook the irredeemable, possibly irredeemable, things
[05:54:06] he's done in service, okay?
[05:54:11] I'm saying chatters are not understanding what you're saying.
[05:54:13] No, I think they're understanding it.
[05:54:16] And in one account, physical intimidation.
[05:54:35] In a statement to CNN, Platner says, quote, throughout this campaign, I've been open about
[05:54:39] what was a very dark period of my life, where I struggled with undiagnosed PTSD.
[05:54:45] often self-medicated with alcohol and was a far from perfect boyfriend. I take
[05:54:49] responsibility for all of that and wish I had been better. Any characterization
[05:54:53] beyond that is false and I believe politically motivated. I'm not proud of
[05:54:58] who I was then but I am proud of the work I've done since and the movement we
[05:55:01] are building in Maine. The panel joins me now and Robert Bluey. We should
[05:55:06] note that Lindsey Feifield, who is one of the three named for one of a
[05:55:11] that a word accusers. Do you officially endorse Plattner? Generally asking how I think he's
[05:55:15] fine without my endorsement regardless. And Plattner in fact suggests that he, in addition
[05:55:21] to being emotionally abusive was sometimes physically tough. I don't want to know what
[05:55:25] used to you wordy, but grabs her by the shoulders, leaves marks, et cetera. You know her. You've
[05:55:30] worked with her. She is a, she is a Republican activist. Do you find her to be a credible
[05:55:35] person? I do. I think it took a tremendous amount of courage for Lindsay to come forward
[05:55:39] and tell this story, along with the other women who are now speaking out.
[05:55:43] I was Lindsay's boss for every foundation that I've been to by role at the Daily Signal
[05:55:48] today.
[05:55:49] And Lindsay and I think many of the other women are doing something that they feel is a-
[05:55:54] Yeah, the other women didn't even corroborate what Lindsay said.
[05:55:59] The other women were like, yeah, he was fine.
[05:56:01] We're still friends.
[05:56:02] I'm voting for him.
[05:56:05] They're making it seem like six women came forward with like damning allegations of domestic
[05:56:11] violence, physical abuse, like, like, grand platter running around, beating the fucking,
[05:56:18] beating them up.
[05:56:20] Four out of six literally were like, yeah, he was chill.
[05:56:28] It was, you know, not the best relationship, but not the worst.
[05:56:32] He was fine.
[05:56:35] This is what I mean, there's always a game of telephone that is also deliberate.
[05:56:40] One of them said he was a gentle giant, but there's a game of telephone here that is
[05:56:44] designed in the way that people cover this stuff, okay?
[05:56:50] Multiple witnesses, multiple victims is what it turns into.
[05:56:56] We interviewed six of Grant Platner's former girlfriends.
[05:57:02] of them had only nice things to say. One of them had one bad experience, but overall was,
[05:57:10] you know, fine with the relationship. And the other one that happens to be a Republican operative
[05:57:15] was the one that delivered damning evidence, which was not corroborated, which by the way,
[05:57:20] the article itself says was not corroborated. Okay, you're making girly. I make grand planner and
[05:57:31] live the tell-the-tale law. I'm glad you survived the interaction. And there have been women
[05:57:40] who said nice things about Trump, so he's a good guy. Wait, great question. There aren't.
[05:57:47] Actually, no, there aren't. Like in terms of percentages, if Grant Platter had seven
[05:57:54] relationships. One is his wife, obviously, and stands by his side. And four have said,
[05:58:01] he's actually defined, okay, you can't get that same percentage with Donald Trump.
[05:58:08] Who? His ex-wife that's not buried under his fucking golf course, who wrote about how
[05:58:17] How Donald Trump raped her?
[05:58:20] Important now, Jake, because, frankly, the voters of name
[05:58:49] need to make a decision. And that decision is going.
[05:58:52] If great, wait, what is this? Is it worth at least considering
[05:58:57] the platter might be a bad guy? I don't think he's a good guy.
[05:59:02] What? I don't know the guy. I don't think he's that good of a
[05:59:08] guy at all. I don't care. Like, what do you mean?
[05:59:19] That's not the calculation.
[05:59:29] He is no Tony Deriden.
[05:59:31] Let me tell you, okay?
[05:59:33] He's no Toby Deriden running for South Dakota governor.
[05:59:40] Toby Deriden, the feeder of Dustin Johnson.
[05:59:45] Now that's a great man.
[06:00:04] I am going to repeat my position one more time.
[06:00:08] Put the policies in the bag, little bro.
[06:00:12] That's it.
[06:00:14] He's not running to be my boyfriend.
[06:00:16] He's not running to be my best friend.
[06:00:19] He's running to unseat a Republican in the Senate so that the Democrats can take fucking
[06:00:25] majority in the Senate and at least start the process.
[06:00:29] And there will be fucking spoilers in this process too.
[06:00:33] Just wait.
[06:00:35] Because the battle is not over at that point.
[06:00:37] There's gonna be some motherfuckers.
[06:00:39] John Federman, for example, is gonna be a massive hurdle in the Senate.
[06:00:43] So we're not even entertaining that conversation yet, okay?
[06:00:51] Yeah, Maggie Hassan is sitting in the sidelines licking her lips, going, ooh, I can't wait
[06:00:59] to fuck this shit up, okay?
[06:01:09] Who's gonna be the next rotating villain?
[06:01:11] Ha is the is the thing that we also have to think about
[06:01:29] I just failed to see how any of these spectacles put on by the likes of jake tapper will convince the crazy boomers
[06:01:33] You saw at the no kings rally who you yourself said were ready for the second american revolution
[06:01:37] You saw yourself the dem base isn't falling for this kind of shit anymore
[06:01:41] I
[06:01:49] Larry Rodin
[06:01:51] Dusted Johnson
[06:01:55] I what is this I
[06:01:58] Mean I do think we should have some base status for DCC politics above Republicans
[06:02:01] But I also recognize we live in 2026 and that's lived up and we need to embrace dark. Well, I mean it's just like
[06:02:06] Like, at the end of the day, yes, if he was like, if he was actually fucking like sexually
[06:02:12] assaulting or like actually actively, you know, abusing physically his, his exes, okay.
[06:02:21] That's a different conversation.
[06:02:22] That's a different calculation.
[06:02:25] And who knows, maybe something will come out.
[06:02:28] This is the funniest aspect of this though.
[06:02:30] The more, like I have grown more defensive of Graham Plattner since the attacks started
[06:02:38] rolling in because initially I was like, oh, I'm a little, I'm a little worried.
[06:02:42] If you remember during the totem cough saga, I was like, oh, this guy's fucking bad business.
[06:02:47] And ever since then, the more people attack him, the more objectively evil monsters attack
[06:02:55] him.
[06:02:57] the more i think to myself well
[06:03:01] the people attacking him are not exactly forces for good in this country
[06:03:10] personally i believe grand planner should have died in iraq says mohammed
[06:03:14] and i just don't give a shit about electoral politics but as republican
[06:03:17] accuser is no issues making a bullshit about mohammed kalil, ramesa ostok and
[06:03:21] other Palestine supporters, so where credibility seems bad.
[06:03:30] I'm looking at the comment section of the New York Times Facebook post of this article,
[06:03:33] 100% support of Platinum.
[06:03:35] I think it's also good to get this audience and just like liberals in general on board
[06:03:44] being a little bit, having a little bit more appetite for controversy, because
[06:03:50] for the longest, for the longest time I feel like people immediately have pulled
[06:03:57] out the ripcord whenever they, whenever they smelled a little bit of
[06:04:00] controversy in general, and Republicans play you like a fucking fiddle dude.
[06:04:06] Check logs for hypocrisy.
[06:04:10] My stepmom tried to disavow Platner. She worked for Ted Kennedy after Chapaquitik. I met a guy in
[06:04:23] Scotland who fucking hates Brian Maas. A lot of chatters on both ends of spectrum pro against
[06:04:36] Planner are really only interested in being right and gloating all while minimizing or weaponizing sexual assault for their own talking
[06:04:42] Boys sexual assault isn't a talking point chat. I hope we can operate with empathy charitability and
[06:04:47] Nuance love y'all and I'm thinking of the survivors today. It's hell
[06:04:50] So, yeah, the framing is interesting.
[06:05:03] They likely got the info from the Republican operative girlfriend first, and then they
[06:05:07] went and interviewed a bunch of other exes who didn't corroborate, but they still focused
[06:05:11] on the one person with bad credibility.
[06:05:20] for Marokana who scheduled the visit May tomorrow, he said, beast mode. The behavior described
[06:05:24] in the New York Times story was wrong and toxic. Grammys acknowledged that and saw redemption.
[06:05:28] The people of Maine deserve a senator who's going to stand up for the billionaire class
[06:05:31] against genocide and for the working class. Your average voter hates Republicans more
[06:05:40] than anything else. They see their wallets getting touched in ways they never could.
[06:05:43] They never knew could happen. They know that Republicans are the ones doing this shit and
[06:05:47] want them gone? Yes.
[06:05:56] Most people who are mad in here, assuming you're on the, it doesn't matter if you did
[06:05:59] abuse St. Plattener train, when instead you're saying abuse is bad, don't decrypt Plattener
[06:06:03] to deny abuse, just realize the political reality of Maine and that it should still
[06:06:07] win even if be investigated if needed. Yeah, it's not even that though. I'm also taking
[06:06:12] once that further. And I am saying that, uh, the, my totem cough story doesn't seem, uh,
[06:06:17] uh, real. I'll say it. I don't even, I didn't even believe Graham Plattner's initial statement
[06:06:26] about like, oh, I didn't know it was a Nazi tattoo. If you recall, I talked about it extensively.
[06:06:30] And now, now that I've heard someone who's been like, well, Ramazza, Ramazza Osterk was
[06:06:35] actually, uh, trying to kill children, uh, and was supporting Hamas and therefore should
[06:06:41] be deported from the country, organizing violent actions and threats to Jewish
[06:06:45] students, I'm like, yeah, okay, I don't believe you. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. It's a
[06:06:55] little ridiculous. Yeah, and it wasn't, yes, it wasn't sexual assault for the
[06:07:01] record.
[06:07:11] You know, this would even be a conversation of platter with the Centres.
[06:07:41] We wouldn't even know about it.
[06:07:43] Most likely.
[06:07:53] They have big implications about whether
[06:07:55] Graham Platner is going to move forward.
[06:07:57] And I think these past allegations need to be thoroughly
[06:07:59] vetted. Yeah. And just to just to know Tuesday
[06:08:01] is the Democratic primary in Maine and
[06:08:03] the former governor. I'm sorry,
[06:08:05] current governor, former candidate,
[06:08:07] Jane Emils is still on the ballot.
[06:08:09] So Moe, in terms of Lindsay Feifeld,
[06:08:12] she denies any political motivation.
[06:08:14] She says she would be doing this
[06:08:16] even if he were a Republican, I suppose.
[06:08:17] And I don't believe that statement.
[06:08:21] Even if I believe some of her allegations
[06:08:25] about like feeling like she was physically threatened
[06:08:28] by a grand planner, which is again,
[06:08:30] unacceptable, certainly toxic,
[06:08:33] and don't believe the totem cough thing
[06:08:36] that she was saying,
[06:08:37] specifically because it just seems too good to be true,
[06:08:42] like too good for the,
[06:08:43] it seems like it's the exact verbiage
[06:08:47] that someone who wants to claim Graham Plattner
[06:08:50] is a Nazi, a secret crypto Nazi,
[06:08:55] would want him to have said privately
[06:09:00] in his personal affairs, okay?
[06:09:03] Um, however, however, regardless of where you stand on this, and I vehemently disagree
[06:09:17] with all of them, it would be electoral suicide to say otherwise in this district.
[06:09:23] Every New York 12 candidate in debate declines to say that Israel's actions are a genocide.
[06:09:27] Yeah, look, I, I don't care.
[06:09:29] I don't agree with that.
[06:09:30] I think, you know what I think, I think fucking Boris is, is annoying and should have said
[06:09:39] that, should have said the truth.
[06:09:42] Democrat, the time since you dated him from about 2013 to 2015, the Times writes, quote,
[06:09:53] Mr. Plattener could be rough with her, Ms. Fifield said, Fifield said, particularly when
[06:09:58] aware than ever about how the effort to hold Trump accountable will, of course,
[06:10:01] require flipping seats in the currently Republican majority Senate. And lots of
[06:10:06] political observers agree that one of their best shots at flipping a seat
[06:10:09] should be in Maine. It's a state that Donald Trump actually lost three times.
[06:10:14] He lost it to Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden. It is represented by
[06:10:18] longtime Republican incumbent Susan Collins who has held that seat since
[06:10:21] 1997, even as the state has elected Democrats at other statewide offices and
[06:10:26] president. And Collins has long been an electoral powerhouse. Democrats feel like this November
[06:10:31] is the time to finally unseat her, and she has been pulling behind in head-to-head matchups for
[06:10:36] months now. Yeah, if Dems lived in North Carolina, Ohio, Maine, and hells Michigan, they still would
[06:10:40] not win the Senate. They need to flip Texas. And Montana, or, um... A little known jester farmer
[06:10:48] named Graham Plattner took the state by storm with a barn burner of an introductory political ad.
[06:10:54] That's the one we're playing on your screen there. It's pretty memorable. You probably saw it Alaska, too
[06:10:58] And it's also very clear that Platinum is a very natural high-level political town
[06:11:03] He's been able to draw large crowds throughout the state sometimes in small towns where half the towns there
[06:11:09] He has barnstorms basically non-stop doing event after event after bet
[06:11:14] It's also true that Platinum is a yeah, we need we need that no, it's not even that Federman is gonna flip
[06:11:20] I'm telling you right now. Fetterman is going to flip. He's not going to be a reliable vote. So you probably need to flip, too
[06:11:26] I hope Democrats understand they need to flip more than just Maine, Michigan
[06:11:31] Like they Fetterman is you're gonna need 52. You're not gonna you're not gonna be fine with 50
[06:11:36] You're not gonna be fine with anyone did not know what the symbol meant at the time
[06:11:40] He has since had a tattoo covered up
[06:11:42] Later came the revolution of stuff that Plattener wrote on his reddit account as a private citizen and some ugly stuff
[06:11:48] denigrating women, insulting moral voters. His campaign says the comments are
[06:11:52] representative of a lost man, struggling with alcoholism and PTSD after leaving
[06:11:55] the military. He argued his story is one of redemption and Platner relying on his
[06:11:59] community in Maine to lift him out of that dark place. Now Platner has addressed
[06:12:03] many of these issues with voters in Maine and we should just be clear here
[06:12:06] when some of these revelations came out people expected the polling to veer away
[06:12:10] from him but it didn't and in some cases got even stronger. Both the polling data
[06:12:15] and reporting from on the ground in Maine have indicated pretty strongly voters. These are
[06:12:19] Democratic primary voters at least, right? We're willing to forgive the tattoo and the
[06:12:23] stupid post. They liked what they were getting from Grand Platinum. The narrative did change a bit
[06:12:28] last week, I think, when the Wall Street Journal reported that Platinum's wife Amy Kirchner had
[06:12:33] previously confided in a former campaign at eight at the beginning of their campaign, they were
[06:12:37] sort of going through vetting, that she had caught her husband sending consensual sexually
[06:12:41] explicit text messages to other women shortly after they married in 2023. Now that was before
[06:12:46] Platinum was a public figure. The campaign aide subsequently told the story to the journal.
[06:12:52] Republican critics, not surprisingly, pounced on the story partly because they just nominated Ken
[06:12:56] Paxton in Texas and wanted to direct attention away from that. And some Democrats began to fret
[06:13:02] about widespread rumors that this wasn't it, that other shoes would drop. Well this afternoon,
[06:13:07] we have this story from the New York Times, right? New York Times published a story. They
[06:13:10] they said a number of women who had previously been romantically linked to
[06:13:14] Platinum. Per the times, many of the women described a thoughtful, caring
[06:13:18] partner, three of them. In fact, still friends with them. Three others
[06:13:22] described a more troubling situation. The most troubling, I think, was one of the
[06:13:25] women who's named Lindsay Fifield. She met Platinum 13 years ago, and she made
[06:13:30] specific allegations about Platinum acting roughly or threateningly with
[06:13:33] her, including yanking her out of a cab, twisting her arm. She said she was hurt,
[06:13:37] not injured. She also says Plattener never punched or hit her and we're going to address those
[06:13:42] allegations at length with Mr. Plattener in a moment. For his part, Plattener's campaign called
[06:13:47] Fifield quote, a longtime GOP operative who's dedicated her career to electing Republicans. Now
[06:13:52] the Times describes her as a Virginia conservative who has worked for right-leaning groups and
[06:13:57] Republican campaigns. She's made statements supportive of Susan Collins, she's linked to a
[06:14:01] conservative group that's worked with Collins, though she says she has not been active with the
[06:14:05] group recently. But Platner's campaign does not deny he has shown poor judgment in the past,
[06:14:10] as we just sort of ran through, right? That has been part of the story of who this guy is
[06:14:14] and how he came to this moment. In a statement to The Times, he said in the past he had quote,
[06:14:19] too often self-medicated with alcohol and was far from a perfect boyfriend during what he described
[06:14:23] as a very dark period of my life. I take responsibility for all of that, wish I had been better, he said.
[06:14:28] Any characterization beyond that is false and I believe politically motivated. I'm not proud of
[06:14:33] of who I was then, but I am proud of the work I've done since and the movement we are building
[06:14:37] in Maine.
[06:14:38] Graham Plattenard, Democratic Senate for Senate in Maine joins me now.
[06:14:42] Mr. Plattenard, it's good to have you on.
[06:14:44] Thank you so much for doing this.
[06:14:45] Thanks, Chris.
[06:14:46] I really appreciate it.
[06:14:47] Thanks for having me on.
[06:14:49] I just want to say at the start that we've had you on before, and I think you and I are
[06:14:53] both people that, in other contexts, talk about income inequality and healthcare and all those
[06:14:57] issues which are extremely important, and we devote a lot of time to you on this program.
[06:15:01] This is not the thing that we spent a lot of time chasing.
[06:15:04] But there's some serious stuff that I
[06:15:06] want to go through with you.
[06:15:08] And I think voters have a right to know about it.
[06:15:09] And I want to start with what Ms.
[06:15:11] Feifeld says about being rough is the term the Times word.
[06:15:15] And I'm going to just read you the account so you have it.
[06:15:17] This is from the Times.
[06:15:19] Mr. Plattner could be rough with her, Ms. Feifeld said,
[06:15:21] particularly when they were drinking, leaving her shaken
[06:15:23] and sometimes afraid.
[06:15:24] In the interviews, she grappled with how
[06:15:25] to process her experiences.
[06:15:27] She was quick to note, he never hit me, never punched me.
[06:15:29] She said it regularly grabbed her by the shoulders,
[06:15:31] sometimes hard enough to leave marks.
[06:15:33] On one occasion, yanked her out of a cab by her wrist
[06:15:35] after an argument when she wanted to stay in the car.
[06:15:38] During one argument, she recalled
[06:15:39] he twisted her arm behind her back,
[06:15:40] shoved her into a bedroom,
[06:15:41] and held the door close from the other side
[06:15:43] so she couldn't get out,
[06:15:44] telling her to remain there until she was calm.
[06:15:46] Eventually, Ms. Feifeld said,
[06:15:47] she fell asleep and left the next morning.
[06:15:49] It hurt, she said,
[06:15:50] but she added it didn't cause any injury.
[06:15:51] What Tommy says, negative 20, he did.
[06:15:54] Did that happen?
[06:15:57] No, it did not.
[06:15:59] There are some allegations in this piece that I just want to be kind of unequivocal about
[06:16:04] are simply not true. Anything alleging physicality, anything alleging that I knew what my tattoo was,
[06:16:11] these are the statements of someone who's politically motivated. In this piece there's a lot
[06:16:17] about my struggling, not being a good boyfriend, certainly self-medicating with alcohol,
[06:16:22] and I've been very upfront since the beginning of this campaign, that that was a pretty dark period
[06:16:26] of my life after I came back from my combat service and that's what that kind of life
[06:16:33] looks like and so there are things in this that I absolutely will take responsibility
[06:16:40] for and have been speaking about openly for months now.
[06:16:44] But those serious allegations are just not true.
[06:16:47] You did not grab her by the wrist, you did not put your hands on her shoulder as you
[06:16:50] did not push her into a room that you closed the door on, she's lying about that is what
[06:16:54] you're saying. Yes, that is not true. You mentioned the tattoo. So I want to talk
[06:17:01] about that because I think this was troubling to a lot of people. And I
[06:17:06] think again, your account of it assuages some of that that fear clearly in
[06:17:11] main voters as reflected again by reporting polling. She says, same
[06:17:16] person, that you referred to the tattoo as my Tottenkopf, which is the German
[06:17:21] word for this particular Nazi symbol. There's other reporting in Jewish insider in October
[06:17:27] in which an anonymous acquaintance says he used that same phrase. Did you know what this
[06:17:32] tattoo was about before last October when you said you first became aware of it?
[06:17:38] No, I did not. And I also think it's important to note that Republicans are mad that he was
[06:17:44] in a relationship with someone over the age of 18. That's what they're actually pissed
[06:17:48] all about their lives what the fuck
[06:17:50] and it's a
[06:17:52] so i feel like you know we're kind of rehashing the thing we've been through
[06:17:55] i had that's a two for seventeen years
[06:17:58] it's a skull and crossbones
[06:18:00] i got it
[06:18:00] with other marines who i served with in iraq uh... in croatia
[06:18:04] and in the time that i had it i got a security clearance with the state
[06:18:08] department i read this in the united states army
[06:18:10] where i was screened for gang and hate tattoos
[06:18:12] and i took my shirt off in front of my family many of whom are jewish
[06:18:17] uh... we even released as a campaign
[06:18:19] of video which you're putting up on the screen right now
[06:18:22] of me dancing at my brother's wedding to his wife
[06:18:25] uh... who is jewish and her fully extended jewish family
[06:18:30] i would not have taken my shirt off in that context
[06:18:33] if i had known and so
[06:18:35] any statement uh... saying that i did know is uh... is again
[06:18:39] the totally false
[06:18:41] i do want to follow one place on this i want to get i love the jews brother
[06:18:44] that you're a little fucking stupid. I mean, that's that is probably the worst location
[06:18:51] to take your shirt off. If you are knowingly sporting a fucking totem cost, knowingly being
[06:18:56] the operative word here, and she joked about how she's going to go volunteer for Collins.
[06:19:00] Now again, this is a text that got sent so like we can place the time, right? This is
[06:19:04] in August. How does she know it's a Nazi tattoo in August of last year and you don't know
[06:19:09] it's not Nazi tattoo in August of last year? Well, she certainly didn't send that text
[06:19:14] to me. So whoever she sent it to and was talking to, that's, I can't say why, but I will say that
[06:19:23] I certainly didn't know. And the text message received something to friends who may have
[06:19:29] recognized it, that's, they didn't tell me that, so. Can we talk, I want to talk about the piece
[06:19:36] that came out before this, which was about what your wife had alerted your internal campaign folks
[06:19:42] to and and just to sort of stipulate to get out ahead that like I think some
[06:19:47] people view this as a real betrayal by your former campaign manager and that
[06:19:50] that may be true and I understand and I also watched the video that your wife
[06:19:55] put out which I found incredibly compelling and moving about what you
[06:19:59] work through but just to know what it was until recently yes I did no I knew
[06:20:04] you facing me and also a general election that's gonna happen of course
[06:20:08] I know that right we're all the same page. I have a PhD in racism. Were you sending sexually explicit messages to other women back in
[06:20:16] 2023 2024 as
[06:20:19] reported in the piece
[06:20:23] So
[06:20:24] This is the first time in my life that
[06:20:27] Amy and I's marriage has been the interest of people besides Amy and I yes, and it's
[06:20:33] It's definitely a bit jarring a bit strange
[06:20:36] It's also a marriage that is very strong, and that I do believe we deserve some privacy
[06:20:42] in.
[06:20:43] I will just say this, I, at the beginning of our marriage, I made mistakes, and Amy held
[06:20:52] me accountable for them, and we worked through them, and the work that we did made our marriage
[06:20:58] significantly stronger, and who we are today is an incredibly faithful and happy married
[06:21:03] couple.
[06:21:04] is my best friend. I love her more than anything else and quite honestly the
[06:21:11] hardest part about this whole campaign is I don't get to spend as much time with
[06:21:15] her as I like to and so it has been a yeah it's been a hard experience to have
[06:21:21] have gone through this together as a couple long before our lives were brought
[06:21:27] out into the public and then to have it essentially outed by someone that we put
[06:21:32] our trust in, who then turned around and betrayed Amy's trust and has now turned, frankly, our
[06:21:39] private parts of our marriage into a bit of a public political spectacle. It's hard, but it's
[06:21:46] our marriage and it's a good marriage and we're very happy with each other and I thank my lucky
[06:21:52] stars every single day that Amy is my wife and that she has given me a lot of grace and a lot of
[06:21:59] of love over the years, and I'm a lucky man for it.
[06:22:03] I'm here for me, and you don't want to get into specific details,
[06:22:05] and I can respect part of that.
[06:22:07] But I do want to just make sure on the timeline, right?
[06:22:09] Because I think there's two things going
[06:22:11] through people's heads a little bit here, which is, you know,
[06:22:15] you have talked about self-medicating with alcohol
[06:22:18] and being pretty messed up when you got back to the service
[06:22:20] and trying to figure out what you're doing and doing things
[06:22:22] maybe you wouldn't stand by now and saying
[06:22:25] things you wouldn't stand by.
[06:22:27] But this is 2023.
[06:22:28] And so there's a difference in the time,
[06:22:30] and I think the first question is like, when did this stop?
[06:22:33] If it stopped, if there was stuff that you're not proud of
[06:22:35] that you worked out with your wife,
[06:22:36] you don't want to talk about the details,
[06:22:37] when did it stop?
[06:22:40] Well, it stopped when it was happening.
[06:22:44] I mean, I think it was a, Amy and I,
[06:22:47] Amy and I, it was soon after we got married.
[06:22:50] And we dealt with it very early on.
[06:22:52] He's so bad at fucking answering these questions.
[06:22:55] This is literally the reason why after the New York Times,
[06:22:57] I was like I don't know if I trust them like my my confidence in it reduced for sure
[06:23:05] Which again, maybe from a time capsule, but people I think are
[06:23:11] Understandably a little nervous. Maybe you'll be the nominee probably be the nominee for the main Senate on Tuesday
[06:23:19] It's what it was happening and here's a text or picture of
[06:23:24] of things that is not the kind of thing that you want to see.
[06:23:28] Like, are you worried about that?
[06:23:31] Are there texts like that?
[06:23:34] I'm not worried about it.
[06:23:36] I mean, as I've talked to you, I went through my life
[06:23:40] through a number of years struggling
[06:23:43] and not exactly acting under what the best behavior is.
[06:23:47] Bro, just say powerful forces are up your ass.
[06:23:49] Just say, just push back.
[06:23:51] Best defense is a good offense.
[06:23:53] do strong office is literally be like we all know why this is happening
[06:23:58] talk about the republicans are rapist pedophiles what the fuck man
[06:24:02] before i became a public figure before i got into politics
[06:24:06] uh... i don't like the defense of that you can't talk about the struggles
[06:24:10] within
[06:24:10] and so i do think that
[06:24:12] as we move forward
[06:24:15] what we've built up here
[06:24:17] is really something
[06:24:18] quite spectacular
[06:24:20] it's very new
[06:24:21] And I think one of the reasons why it's work, this is a post Trump universe, even if you
[06:24:24] are genuinely reflective of your past mistakes or whatever, you should literally just be
[06:24:29] like, look, I own up to it and I will not be talked down by people who defend Israel.
[06:24:35] I will not be talked down by people who defend Donald Trump at the Epstein class.
[06:24:40] Yes, I have disrupted and offended all of these forces, but these are some of the most
[06:24:45] evil forces we have ever seen and I'm willing to battle them.
[06:24:48] And that is the reason why they're coming after me with unlimited scrutiny.
[06:24:53] And I'm very happy to talk about that earlier part in my life and I'm happy about that people
[06:24:57] will attempt to continue to revisit my past.
[06:25:04] But I think what's really important to note here is that these are things that I talk
[06:25:08] about in my past.
[06:25:10] Things that I'm not proud of, but it is a past that I had to go through to get where
[06:25:16] I am today.
[06:25:17] And I'm very proud of who I am today, and I'm very proud of the movement that we've
[06:25:20] built up here in Maine.
[06:25:22] Just to be clear, just about revisiting, right?
[06:25:24] I mean, I think channeling concerns, I think, of Democratic voters and Democratic officials
[06:25:29] and a lot of people, right?
[06:25:30] That is not a question of revisiting, right?
[06:25:31] It's new revelations, like vis-a-vis, you know, texts or pictures.
[06:25:35] And I just, I know you want to give some privacy to marriage, but I really do feel like I need
[06:25:39] to get these answers from you, which is like the people you were texting with, whatever
[06:25:44] that was in whatever context they were adult women you knew that and it was
[06:25:48] consensual is that true yes and you have that you confirmed that you knew
[06:25:55] their age yes oh god I mean yes of course I want to play something for you
[06:26:03] that was a reaction of senator Alyssa Slotkin as this story came out she was
[06:26:11] talking to us now and she had this to say again i don't even know if she'd gotten
[06:26:14] a chance to read
[06:26:17] read that story at such a new year acting to essentially a person of profound
[06:26:21] moral character by the way
[06:26:23] i have not read the whole thing i i look for literally see i agent that went to
[06:26:27] iraq to torture iraqis every single week a question about bad behavior
[06:26:33] by another dude
[06:26:34] i i just i look forward to that day
[06:26:38] on camera
[06:26:39] live, I look forward to that.
[06:26:41] And I haven't read the piece, but what my team told me,
[06:26:45] like, look, first of all, I think
[06:26:48] about the women who are coming forward.
[06:26:51] Second of all, I think if there are allegations of violence,
[06:26:55] I got a real problem with that.
[06:26:57] And it doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or Republican.
[06:27:01] If there's violence, that's not OK.
[06:27:06] So I haven't gone into the details.
[06:27:07] I'm sure I'll have to get the just like every week the same briefing from my team on what happened and what you and but
[06:27:16] Frankly, I'm sick of it. We got a lot of bigger issues to you know fry here
[06:27:24] What's your response to that I
[06:27:27] Mean responses that I agree
[06:27:30] If there was violence, that's a huge issue
[06:27:33] issue, but those allegations are false. And I also agree with the Senator that we do have
[06:27:38] much bigger things to fry here. We are talking about a moment in American history that is
[06:27:45] going to go down as quite unique. We are facing incredible challenges across our society.
[06:27:51] Here in the state of Maine, we're facing the fact that our healthcare system is collapsing
[06:27:55] and people can't afford homes and the average manor is struggling just to pay their bills
[06:28:00] because the price of goods and services continues to go up.
[06:28:03] And that's why we built this movement.
[06:28:05] I will say that I am the people of Maine
[06:28:12] are the people that I'm trying to answer to here.
[06:28:15] The opinions of the pundit class,
[06:28:17] the opinions of frankly just even establishment politicians,
[06:28:22] that's not my audience.
[06:28:23] That's not who I'm trying to appeal to.
[06:28:25] And they can have their opinions,
[06:28:26] and they're entitled to them.
[06:28:28] But to me, it's the people of Maine
[06:28:30] who I'm going out to listening to every single day
[06:28:33] and trying to make sure that I can represent their values
[06:28:36] and their will in the United States Senate.
[06:28:38] And that's why I go out and will continue to go out
[06:28:42] and face my future constituents day in and day out.
[06:28:47] Part of that though, and people will mean, right,
[06:28:48] is that like they're gonna react to new information, right?
[06:28:51] That they're gonna keep forming an opinion
[06:28:53] and you're gonna run a very, again,
[06:28:55] if you are the nominee as, you know,
[06:28:57] it appears you are headed to be
[06:29:00] a pretty brutal campaign against susan collins
[06:29:02] who is has been a real electoral colossus and has beaten back
[06:29:07] you know nominee after nominee and did be surrogate in by however many points
[06:29:11] after she was pulling up nine
[06:29:13] and it
[06:29:14] when people think themselves and i know this is the meeting that you had in
[06:29:17] washington right where you sit in front of democratic senators and said
[06:29:21] you know the worst rumors you've heard aren't true i think was a sentence that
[06:29:25] was reported
[06:29:26] uh...
[06:29:28] At this point, I guess people have to take you at your word
[06:29:32] that that's true and that there's nothing else.
[06:29:35] Is that what you are saying?
[06:29:38] Yes, of course.
[06:29:40] And even this new reporting, the new things are false.
[06:29:45] And the fact that I was a bad boyfriend a decade ago,
[06:29:50] that's something I've talked about openly at length
[06:29:53] for quite some time in multiple places.
[06:29:56] So there is an element where, yeah, no, I mean, there,
[06:30:00] no, I have no doubt, like I mentioned earlier,
[06:30:03] that this is a dirty campaign.
[06:30:05] I do expect the Republican party
[06:30:07] to fight as dirty as possible.
[06:30:10] And I expect them to try to create things.
[06:30:12] I expect them to try to drag stuff up consistently.
[06:30:16] But there won't be anything new.
[06:30:18] It's gonna be a rehashing of essentially the same stuff.
[06:30:21] And I honestly think that's why it's just gonna fall flat
[06:30:25] because I've been incredibly open and accountable
[06:30:30] for everything throughout this campaign.
[06:30:33] When we've been faced with allegations of things
[06:30:37] where people have brought up stuff from my past,
[06:30:39] I don't run away from it.
[06:30:40] In fact, I lean into it and we have a deep conversation
[06:30:44] about it because I do think people need to see
[06:30:47] that it is possible to really change over time
[06:30:49] and become a better person in every single day.
[06:30:52] I wake up trying to be a better version of myself
[06:30:55] the day before. And that's exactly what I'm going to continue to do. And I think that's a
[06:31:01] it's a pretty core part of our message and a core part of the campaign itself. And whether it's
[06:31:06] being accountable for my my online behavior at an earlier part of my life, whether it's realizing
[06:31:13] that a tattoo I had was harmful to some folks, I immediately got it covered up, whether it's
[06:31:18] being accountable to my wife, which everybody has very publicly learned about. These are things
[06:31:25] that like accountability is important to me and I'm going to continue being honest and accountable
[06:31:31] about things that are real but I am going to push back against allegations that are just patently
[06:31:36] untrue. There was a statement from Janet Mills who was the governor, was running against you until
[06:31:43] she dropped out and she said this after the story about the messaging or texting with women came out
[06:31:51] I'm not going to really speak to what the intent of the governor was there.
[06:31:56] I think a lot of people can probably draw their own conclusions.
[06:31:59] She is correct. She is still on the ballot. It is a statement of fact.
[06:32:03] I do believe that, you know, it's, you know,
[06:32:07] it's a good thing that we're doing this.
[06:32:09] We're doing this in a way that we're not going to be able to do.
[06:32:12] We're not going to be able to do this.
[06:32:14] We're not going to be able to do this.
[06:32:16] We're not going to be able to do this.
[06:32:18] believe that you know it's it's a bit of opportunism but I think you know that's
[06:32:25] got anybody can sort of see that so. At any point over the course of the past
[06:32:30] week have you considered dropping out of the race? No, not once. You're someone
[06:32:38] who I spoke to you very early in this campaign after that campaign ad came out
[06:32:42] and you're not a person who's been in public life you have my for office and
[06:32:48] And I think that has been incredibly appealing
[06:32:50] to a lot of people.
[06:32:51] Sometimes say, why don't we get other people like,
[06:32:54] in public office at a broader pool,
[06:32:56] and then you run for public office,
[06:32:57] and it's a lot, right, is going to come out.
[06:33:02] And given it.
[06:33:03] And I got to say, watching your wife's video, which again,
[06:33:07] I found very affecting, very compelling, and very moving,
[06:33:09] like, do you regret doing this?
[06:33:15] No, not in the slightest.
[06:33:19] It is Amy and I knew when we got into this
[06:33:23] that we were going up against an entrenched political machine.
[06:33:28] We were going up against, frankly,
[06:33:31] the entire political apparatus.
[06:33:33] The message of our campaign is that we
[06:33:36] need to have a political revolution and change
[06:33:39] how we do politics in this country.
[06:33:41] Part of that really has to be making politics
[06:33:45] accessible to people who have lived regular lives,
[06:33:49] not just to people who prepared for it.
[06:33:51] And we knew that because we had lived regular lives
[06:33:55] with all the challenges that come with that
[06:33:57] and backgrounds that come with living a life
[06:34:00] that we were gonna see everything torn to pieces
[06:34:03] and people were gonna go through everything
[06:34:05] with a fine tooth comb and try to find anything to attack us.
[06:34:08] And that is exactly what has happened.
[06:34:10] It's not surprising, I mean this is, and I hate to say it, but it's also why most regular
[06:34:18] people don't want to get involved in politics.
[06:34:23] We don't doubt what we've done.
[06:34:25] We are very proud of what we've built.
[06:34:27] We believe deeply in our politics.
[06:34:31] But it's hard.
[06:34:33] This is a hard experience.
[06:34:34] It's been hard on my family, it's been hard for both Amy and I, and it's just hard in
[06:34:40] general to have to go through life having been a private citizen that nobody was paying
[06:34:44] attention to to suddenly have the entire world really, really caring or digging through
[06:34:51] everything that you've ever done.
[06:34:53] It's an unpleasant experience and I get why people look at this and think, yeah, I don't
[06:34:58] want to do that.
[06:34:59] I'll say this though, we need to change it.
[06:35:03] It shouldn't be like this.
[06:35:05] We need to have a politics where we're talking about policy, where we're talking about the
[06:35:10] future where we're talking about really the kind of political system we want to
[06:35:15] see and the only way that we're going to get that is by getting more regular
[06:35:19] people into it and those of us who are going to really start off we're going to
[06:35:22] take a lot of lumps but somebody has to and Amy and I knew early on that we were
[06:35:27] going to take lumps and we just are dedicated to this and it has never
[06:35:32] crossed our mind to drop out of this thing. I'm fully committed to this till
[06:35:37] the end. I want to connect this to policy though because I do think I you know
[06:35:41] I agree and like I said at the top right like that's a lot of what we spend
[06:35:44] our time on here. You know truthfulness or candor or people feeling like you
[06:35:48] trust you is connected to policy right because if they don't feel like you
[06:35:52] trust you they feel like well if you're in a bad situation you're gonna say
[06:35:55] whatever gets you through the next interview the next week then you could
[06:35:59] do that about policy. You could do that about what your core principal
[06:36:03] commitments are right so for like people that think
[06:36:06] you know i don't
[06:36:07] he says he didn't know what the tattoo was this person says he did
[06:36:11] he says he never put
[06:36:13] hands on this woman she says he did
[06:36:15] big you know people can
[06:36:17] decide who they want to believe there
[06:36:22] but your tender the fact that like whether people can trust you
[06:36:26] you would agree is a legitimate issue for voters to consider it's not that's
[06:36:30] not some trivia
[06:36:32] god damn you know i mean that's it i'm honestly that's why i've
[06:36:36] run the campaign that i've run
[06:36:38] uh... like i'm sick and tired of a politics
[06:36:42] politicians come across as the sort of
[06:36:45] uh... focus group tested
[06:36:47] two-dimensional figures who just repeat talking points
[06:36:50] it's it's the reason i've been willing to go out and talk to everyone and talk
[06:36:55] about really private parts of my life
[06:36:58] uh... very publicly and to make sure that
[06:37:01] people can see that I am open and I am honest, even if it's uncomfortable. I've been doing
[06:37:08] that the entire time and will continue to do so. Yeah, I mean, I look at the end of
[06:37:13] the day, people can say things and if they're not true, that I'm going to point out that
[06:37:20] they're not true. And that is, of course, up to someone to believe who's telling the
[06:37:23] truth and that. But I do hope that the kind of campaign that I've run and the way that
[06:37:29] that I've been accessible to people.
[06:37:30] And frankly, the candor that I've just displayed
[06:37:33] the entire time, I really do hope that it engenders
[06:37:36] in main voters an understanding that I'm going down there
[06:37:40] to do what I say that I'm going to do,
[06:37:42] which is to represent the working people of Maine
[06:37:44] and to fight back against the political system
[06:37:46] that doesn't care about them
[06:37:48] and to fight back against an economic system
[06:37:50] that is rigged against them.
[06:37:52] And I think people understand that.
[06:37:55] Final question for you.
[06:37:57] Have you had any communication with the folks at the DSCC
[06:38:00] or Democratic operatives who have talked about dropping out,
[06:38:03] who have talked about other options?
[06:38:06] Have you received any communication today about that?
[06:38:12] No, I have not.
[06:38:14] And I expect that we will not,
[06:38:17] primarily because what we've built up here,
[06:38:22] it's robust, it's very strong.
[06:38:24] I mean, even just the past couple of days,
[06:38:27] the outpouring of support that Amy and I have seen
[06:38:31] has been deeply humbling.
[06:38:33] We have people dropping off food at our house.
[06:38:36] We have neighbors coming across with eggs.
[06:38:38] Everybody's incredibly concerned about our wellbeing
[06:38:41] because they feel like we're being attacked in some way
[06:38:43] and they wanna help protect us.
[06:38:45] And it is that kind of feeling of community,
[06:38:49] that feeling of standing up for each other
[06:38:51] that I really think it bodies this whole campaign
[06:38:53] and that's why we're going to beat susan collins in november
[06:38:57] and senate candidate grand platter will be on the ballot on tuesday and then we
[06:39:00] will be covering that here uh... i really i do appreciate you taking
[06:39:04] all that time today uh... to do that interview
[06:39:07] now of course thanks chris
[06:39:12] okay
[06:39:14] with the focus of the ms now political analyst in miller was a spokesman for
[06:39:17] Oh, God. Oh, no, not her. Oh, no, there are your thoughts. Wait, I got to hear it. Well,
[06:39:27] there were two versions of Graham Plattner in that article. And then we could talk about that
[06:39:31] article and how well it was done and whether it should be done. But there were two versions.
[06:39:38] And Maine's going to have to figure out which version brings true to them.
[06:39:42] I thought he did a great job of emphasizing one important fact.
[06:39:48] You know, it's ironic that Republicans are doing this, and I don't think anybody should
[06:39:55] take a lecture from the Rehoban Party about the morality of people they run for office.
[06:40:00] Okay, never mind.
[06:40:01] I mean, give me a break.
[06:40:03] And the difference between Graham Platner and Donald Trump is pretty stark when it comes
[06:40:08] to only bad behavior.
[06:40:09] Oh, she's in the background.
[06:40:10] She's on TV in the background.
[06:40:11] in the matter.
[06:40:12] He's pretty good about saying, you know, I went to a really dark time.
[06:40:15] I was self-medicating with alcohol.
[06:40:18] I said things that were terrible.
[06:40:20] And he's done that every time he's been confronted.
[06:40:22] He's been pretty consistent.
[06:40:24] He's never tried to like, oh, I was too sick.
[06:40:26] I didn't know any better.
[06:40:27] He just said, hey, you know, I had a really bad time in my life.
[06:40:30] And I think that the people of Maine are going to appreciate that.
[06:40:37] And I think the sooner he can get back to talking about how much they're paying for
[06:40:42] fuel up there and how cold the winter is going to be and whether that they can afford to
[06:40:46] keep the heat on, the better off he's going to be, assuming nothing else comes out.
[06:40:52] And you kind of alluded to that, Chris.
[06:40:55] I think you respond on why can't it privilege is crazy.
[06:40:58] No, I'm actually surprised that Claire McCaskill is actually hitting these lines because I
[06:41:01] would have thought that she would be like, Oh, he's bad.
[06:41:04] We should actually vote for Janet or Susan Collins.
[06:41:07] You know, we live in the Donald Trump era, right?
[06:41:09] So everything is sort of, and somebody's been transformed.
[06:41:12] I mean, I was saying to someone the other day that if the article that came out today
[06:41:16] said a woman is accusing grand-partner of raping her in a dressing room, like, that
[06:41:22] would be it.
[06:41:23] It would be over.
[06:41:24] Right?
[06:41:25] Like, the thing that E.G. and Carol said about Donald Trump, that, you know, it was then
[06:41:30] essentially sustained by civil juries and her preponderance even standard, like, that
[06:41:34] would be it in this context.
[06:41:37] And that's also not to say like, that like a what about response, because the other thing
[06:41:44] I tell myself is, the moral ruin of the Republican Party has been its inability to do any line
[06:41:50] drawing.
[06:41:51] And so that that also can't be the kind of model for how Democrats deal with whatever
[06:41:57] era we live in now with whatever rules there are.
[06:42:00] Yeah, we don't want to copy them.
[06:42:02] I mean, I left the Republican Party for a reason.
[06:42:04] It's nice to have some standards, but I don't think obviously the grand partner is Donald
[06:42:09] Trump for a million reasons.
[06:42:10] Very clear.
[06:42:11] Yes.
[06:42:12] Claire McCaskill laid out, you know, the fact that he's apologized for what he did and
[06:42:16] he's trying to become a better man.
[06:42:17] I don't think I've ever heard Donald Trump say what, what a grand partner just said in
[06:42:20] that interview that he's trying to become a better man every day.
[06:42:22] I don't think he is.
[06:42:23] I think he's doing the opposite.
[06:42:25] You know, so I look, I think that in addition to what Claire said, I just add a couple things.
[06:42:30] is he's obviously resonated in Maine with people of Maine and it's been his political
[06:42:35] message since resonating and he's a very talented politician. And if we're going to be part of a
[06:42:39] big pro-democracy movement from former Republicans to quasi-socialists with Claire McCaskill in the
[06:42:46] middle, like you got to respect democracy. And that's kind of what democracy is. You know,
[06:42:52] of Canada putting themselves before the voters, offering a platform and looking for voters that
[06:42:59] decided that's the platform that they- Biggest issue here, for those who don't know, is
[06:43:07] I'm going to go back to Jeremy Corbyn here, okay? Not even a remote comparison of Grand
[06:43:12] Platinum in any way, shape, or form. A person of incredible character, okay? A moral beacon of light,
[06:43:19] and an otherwise unbelievably dark world. I was talking to him earlier this morning for
[06:43:23] politics show podcast is going to come out soon. So he's been on my mind. With Jezza in 2017,
[06:43:33] the anti-Semitism allegations were bullshit. And perhaps the impact of the anti-Semitism
[06:43:41] allegations were overstated. It wasn't the fact that people thought Jeremy Corbyn was an anti-Semite
[06:43:51] that actually did him in. It was the fact that he constantly found himself having to address
[06:43:57] that issue and that issue only that became a problem. So my advice to any political out there
[06:44:07] listening is if you're an advisor, if you're a consultant, if you're working for a campaign,
[06:44:13] if you're working for a politician, or if you are a politician or you want to be one one day,
[06:44:17] is to constantly take conversations back to the opposition and never abide by the oppositional framing.
[06:44:28] Zoran Mamdani did this expertly. They tried to always gum up the works.
[06:44:35] They were like, well, don't you think you're an anti-Semite?
[06:44:38] And what was Zoran doing? He would say, look, this is a foreign country.
[06:44:42] I said what I said,
[06:44:44] New Yorkers are going to vote for
[06:44:46] me because I'm fighting for them.
[06:44:48] I'm fighting for affordability,
[06:44:50] I'm fighting for fast and free buses,
[06:44:52] and he would always turn the
[06:44:54] conversation back and reframe it
[06:44:56] to why
[06:44:58] people should vote for him.
[06:45:00] What Graham Plattner did here
[06:45:02] was a mistake.
[06:45:04] Okay?
[06:45:06] Because the conversation is not
[06:45:08] about whether or not
[06:45:10] Platner is a person with bad morals, bad character, why you shouldn't vote for him for this reason
[06:45:18] or that reason. The conversation being had is robbing Graham Platner or any candidate really
[06:45:26] of the opportunity to be on camera and come out with his policies to as broad of an audience as
[06:45:34] possible. This is how you flip a very bad situation into one where you apply defense and then
[06:45:44] very quickly go on the offense and turn it in your favor, okay? So what Graham Plattner should
[06:45:50] have done in this situation is to be apologetic, understandable, right? And then quickly turn
[06:45:56] around and say look part of the reason why don't defend him shut up shut the
[06:46:03] fuck up chatter this is not even about grand platter this is just in general
[06:46:08] okay I'm using this as a jump off point
[06:46:16] what you should always do is go look I'm an imperfect being as we are all okay
[06:46:26] I have done things that I'm not very proud of,
[06:46:28] but who I am now is a fighter for Maynors.
[06:46:32] Okay?
[06:46:34] I'm fighting for Medicare for all.
[06:46:37] I'm fighting to re-examine our relationship with Israel.
[06:46:42] And I'm fighting to make sure
[06:46:44] that we no longer spend our tax dollars
[06:46:47] fighting endless wars overseas
[06:46:49] that left me a broken man.
[06:46:51] My voice cracked.
[06:46:52] That's how powerful this message is.
[06:46:54] Listen to what I'm saying.
[06:46:56] Because there are millions of others just like me in the United States of America who
[06:47:02] joined the service thinking that they were doing something objectively good.
[06:47:09] And once their service was done, came back to the United States, the country that I love,
[06:47:16] the country that I fought for, the country that I almost died defending, and realized
[06:47:21] that all of that service amounted to death and destruction overseas.
[06:47:28] And now it's time for our nation to heal.
[06:47:33] Okay?
[06:47:37] For far too long, we've engaged in these wasteful wars that destroyed these countries and destroyed
[06:47:45] the bodies of the men and women, the young boys and girls who thought that they were
[06:47:49] We're serving a higher purpose.
[06:47:54] I'm willing to change that.
[06:47:56] I'm willing to change the American trajectory.
[06:47:59] One vote at a time in Senate.
[06:48:01] I'm Graham Plattner.
[06:48:03] And I'm here to serve Mayners.
[06:48:06] And that is what's frustrating to these Republicans because they want to do business as usual politics
[06:48:11] that has robbed you blind.
[06:48:15] And they will stop at nothing to disparage someone who simply wants to put manors first
[06:48:27] because they are fearful.
[06:48:29] They're fearful of the fact that if the American population regains confidence in their elected
[06:48:37] representatives that they will demand more from us.
[06:48:43] I'm here to make a promise to all of you that you can demand more from me.
[06:48:49] That's it.
[06:48:50] Boom.
[06:48:56] That kind of thing.
[06:49:00] Because here's the, here, here's the thing, like,
[06:49:06] this is the fucking big leagues.
[06:49:08] Okay.
[06:49:09] Knives are out.
[06:49:10] You can't come out and be like fuck Israel, I'm for Medicare for all and not expect for every powerful institution in this country
[06:49:19] that is securing billions of dollars of profits to turn around and let that slide. They're not gonna let that slide, you're an enemy.
[06:49:28] You're a fucking enemy. You're an enemy to them.
[06:49:40] This is exactly why I'm voting for Toby Durden in South Dakota governor's race because Toby
[06:50:03] Deriden wouldn't be caught dead in a controversy, such as this one, Toby Deriden for president.
[06:50:13] He defeated, he defeated the evil forces of Brandon Johnson is right.
[06:50:27] Dusty Johnson. He defeated the evil Dusty Johnson. Toby Durden did that now.
[06:50:37] Rod in the hell, Dusty Johnson.
[06:50:41] You goddamn cattle thief.
[06:50:46] That's the highest pejorative I could use in the state of South Dakota cattle
[06:50:51] thief.
[06:50:54] We haven't forgotten your crimes, Dusty.
[06:50:57] Yeah.
[06:51:08] Yeah.
[06:51:12] You yellow belly coward you.
[06:51:17] I
[06:51:25] Leave in her shaking
[06:51:28] You're sorry Pegasus video on YouTube that thumbnail was diabolical way. I did a Pegasus video. I posted did my
[06:51:36] Did my YouTube page post a Pegasus video?
[06:51:47] more Pegasus just ruined his life prison time it's the same Thumbo that he uses
[06:51:57] the editor is cooked with that one let's go oh that's fire
[06:52:17] That's fire. Yeah, more Pegasus more like more caning, dude.
[06:52:36] Now I seen that podcast guy in that show on MSNBC. I understand why you upgraded to the
[06:52:40] suit I fear I may need to do the same in my own life good
[06:52:46] Steyer just took second in Cali no he didn't you're fucking lying dude
[06:52:52] Why are you lying
[06:52:55] Asmongold is crying again. I like they were using their tactics against them now. Fuck it. Why not?
[06:53:05] He's getting dumps, but he's not running he's not getting up the second place right now. That's crazy
[06:53:10] Just in, Nithya Raman, surges in light mail ballots overperforms and is on track to unseat
[06:53:20] Spencer Pratt for second place unless something changes. This is unreal. Raman just netted
[06:53:25] 4,000 votes on Pratt across one drop, winning 33.5 of the latest mail per LA vote hub. Nearly
[06:53:31] 300,000 votes remain. Raman must only make up nearly 33,000 ballots now. I think we see
[06:53:38] Where this is going, California needs to be banned from doing this.
[06:53:46] Oh, send in the mules.
[06:53:51] More mules.
[06:53:56] They're stealing it again.
[06:54:01] They're stealing it again.
[06:54:08] Start to steal buddy
[06:54:12] Steyer gained eleven point three points on
[06:54:16] Hilton in today's Orange County drop up from ten points yesterday
[06:54:19] That makes three major County Santa Clara Los Angeles in Orange where late mail has shifted one of two points left from yesterday to today
[06:54:33] Ramen I guess the Hassanabi effect is real
[06:54:35] Um, I don't, I don't, I'm not taking credit for that. Are you kidding me? If anything, the interview that I conducted with Nithy Raman was somewhat a disaster for her.
[06:54:51] What is this? It's over.
[06:54:56] What are you talking about? This is Yuba County, dude. Four voters versus 13. Are you okay?
[06:55:05] fucking Yuba County. That's where they voted for Nested Yas and that filthy cattle thief.
[06:55:17] Oh, God. How dare you? The fact that we're not even going to know these results until
[06:55:29] next week, San Francisco, stop even counting any ballots for the whole day.
[06:55:47] Who up you been there counting?
[06:55:54] What's the Tobiduridin lore?
[06:55:56] What do you mean?
[06:55:57] He's the goat.
[06:55:58] He's the man who will save
[06:56:07] Ramen and styro will make it will they change their false headline
[06:56:11] Twitch streamer has not like it loses big and damn primaries wait
[06:56:15] Okay
[06:56:16] Why is fucking newsmax?
[06:56:19] Writing about this is not newsworthy. I'm a fucking twitch streamer. What is happening, bro?
[06:56:25] like even if this was objectively really even if I was like oh I'm really in the tank for Tom
[06:56:31] Steyer and Nithya Raman like this this actually is shocking like I think these guys think I'm a
[06:56:39] more significant threat to the established order than than I actually am they are greatly overstating
[06:56:49] They're greatly overstating my fucking impact
[06:56:56] Like first of all this art this headline makes it seem like I lost the race
[06:57:11] I'm a fucking shut ass loser. I talked about my shit schedule earlier, man
[06:57:17] man. What the fuck is happening? I literally went into great detail about my bowel movements
[06:57:25] only like three hours ago. Ha ha ha, son, you can't get into the UK. Maybe don't be
[06:57:33] terrorist supporter you fool.
[06:57:45] It's kind of wild, it's kind of wild because like there is, what's interesting about this
[06:57:55] is that there is genuinely a handshake between Twitter liberals and some of the most reactionary
[06:58:05] elements in American society. And I can't do anything other than just point to it every day
[06:58:11] where I'm like, do you see what these guys are doing? And I hope other libs are aware,
[06:58:16] kind-hearted libs that just want to defeat the Republicans, see some of these right-wing liberal
[06:58:23] operatives that claim to be Democrats, but actively work against Democrats, while I'm
[06:58:29] literally working for Democrats, and they see this shit and they go, okay, I know whose
[06:58:35] side I'm on, you know?
[06:58:37] Don't forget the altars, no, the altars are irrelevant.
[06:58:44] The altars are completely irrelevant at the end of the day, right?
[06:58:49] Oh, Jesse Waters is covering it, let's see, Jesse Waters is going to endorse Grant Plattner
[06:58:56] because he'd be like, I read the article and I liked what he was doing.
[06:59:03] That's when it stopped.
[06:59:05] And the women, well were they at least of age?
[06:59:09] They were adult women, you knew that and it was consensual, is that true?
[06:59:15] Yes.
[06:59:17] You have that you confirm that you knew their age
[06:59:21] Yes, oh god, I mean yes, of course
[06:59:25] He's asked if you ever considered dropping out and he laughed said never
[06:59:30] So why would he not going anywhere? Why would he fucking drop out?
[06:59:34] This doesn't make any sense of Fox and friends
[06:59:37] So you've gotten a read on this guy now you watch the let's see if Jesse can be not creepy for the next five minutes here
[06:59:44] something that shocked all the women in the green room before the show this came
[06:59:49] out in the New York Times article. One of the girlfriends, one of the ex-girlfriend
[06:59:53] says he regularly grabbed me by the shoulders sometimes hard enough to leave
[06:59:56] marks. One occasion, yanked her out of a cab by her wrist, twisted her arm behind
[07:00:01] her back, shoved her into a bedroom, held the door closed from the other side so
[07:00:06] that she couldn't get out and then she ended up, he said she can't get out
[07:00:11] until she's calm and then she ended up falling asleep and waking up the next morning. So he was
[07:00:15] asked about that from Hayes and he said those allegations are not true. Anything physically
[07:00:22] that they're accusing me of is not true. Someone who is politically motivated he said and he was
[07:00:28] in a dark place when he when he was asked about the alcohol because this report in the New York
[07:00:33] Times said physically threatening, drank heavily, regularly unfaithful and did know that the tattoo
[07:00:40] who was a Nazi symbol and he said, I've said that I've addressed the drinking allegations.
[07:00:45] I did have a problem with that.
[07:00:46] I was in a very dark place.
[07:00:48] So the politicians on the left are going to have to react.
[07:00:52] They're going to be asked about this all tomorrow.
[07:00:55] What do you think they're going to say?
[07:00:56] This is a whole other level.
[07:00:58] They've been defending him this entire time.
[07:01:01] You saw what Sonny Haasden said on the view.
[07:01:03] I know he's a creep.
[07:01:05] I know what he's done.
[07:01:06] This is horrible basically.
[07:01:07] But I'm voting for him anyway, or I suggest that people in Maine vote for him, because
[07:01:12] we have to take that seat.
[07:01:14] That's how deranged they are.
[07:01:15] Susan Collins voted for impeachment of Donald Trump, and they still want her to lose.
[07:01:20] I mean, she's like, what a Democrat would want in a Republican Senate in Maine, but
[07:01:25] they're going for this wild animal.
[07:01:27] As a woman, if you hear allegations about wrapping her shoulders that lead to bruises,
[07:01:33] the arm behind the back is pretty wild.
[07:01:37] Is that what you would consider physical abuse?
[07:01:40] Do you think the female Fox News hosts, while they're covering this story, think about what
[07:01:45] probably happened in the break room prior to them going on stage and how much worse
[07:01:50] that is than the allegations being presented in the New York Times article?
[07:01:57] Not even talking about the veracity.
[07:01:59] I'm just straight up saying like, because we're talking about Fox News, right?
[07:02:04] Like Fox News had such a bad, rapist culture that numerous high profile women had to leave
[07:02:12] Fox News.
[07:02:14] Numerous high profile men were sued as Fox News.
[07:02:17] And he likes the control and he likes the dominance.
[07:02:19] And so he continues to write her and call her.
[07:02:21] And that's why-
[07:02:22] Jesse Waters is notorious for describing what he thought was a cute story of how he met
[07:02:28] his wife.
[07:02:30] He lowered the tire pressure on his producer's car so that he would have an excuse to give
[07:02:40] her a ride or they would be trapped in the car together.
[07:02:45] Book.
[07:02:46] Thank you.
[07:02:47] You got a big book out now.
[07:02:48] I do.
[07:02:49] Tell us about it.
[07:02:50] America, I'm so glad you were born.
[07:02:52] Well, I brought one for you to give to your precious children, Jesse.
[07:02:55] Thank you.
[07:02:56] mom, my mom passed away when my first, when the last book about Trump, Fox and
[07:03:02] Friends, Co's Ainsley, Erhard co-opted that language saying the allegations were
[07:03:05] definitely coordinated, employing the same charge. The Trump campaign is used
[07:03:08] against the New York Times. One of the outlets to publish the accounts of the
[07:03:10] alleged victims, five women coming out the same day that has to be coordinated,
[07:03:14] Erhard said, before turning her attention to the Clinton machine being in bed
[07:03:17] with mainstream media.
[07:03:26] Democratic wins media breaking. We were proud to be with Janet Mills before. We're proud
[07:03:35] to still think she's the right person for Maine. Let's make it happen. When Plattner
[07:03:39] wins the primary Democratic wins media, will you support him against Collins or are you
[07:03:42] mega up? Yeah. By the way, this is Ethan Wolf who did a support Andrew Cuomo over Mamdani.
[07:03:48] So we know.
[07:04:06] I think the real comparison here that a lot of people are not making, like I said, and
[07:04:10] I made this comparison earlier is to fucking Pete Hegze.
[07:04:14] Like all of these Fox news guys are like, I can't believe this is what Graham Platner
[07:04:17] was doing, how dare he do such horrible things. It's like dog, Pete Hexit, the current Secretary
[07:04:24] of War, was your fucking co-worker, okay? Pete Hexit was literally your co-worker and
[07:04:32] was a notorious drunk rapist.
[07:04:36] Like, if you wanna talk about Nazi tattoos, Graham Platner's Totemkoff didn't get dinged
[07:04:44] by the the military which again is more of a diss on the military we're being honest
[07:04:50] but you know who's tattoo you know who's tattooed did get dinged pete hexas nazi tattoo that's right
[07:04:57] pete hexas nazi tattoo is the reason why he couldn't serve as a part of the national guard
[07:05:04] during the biden inauguration so what the fuck are you guys talking about he wrote a whole book about
[07:05:09] it. And unlike Pete Hegseth, Graham Platner covered his Nazi tattoo. What the fuck are
[07:05:17] these people saying? I feel like I'm losing my mind. The standards are so out of whack,
[07:05:22] dude. We just never look at Republicans. We never look at Republicans. They can do whatever
[07:05:27] the fuck they want. They can literally murder, cheat, steal, rape, do whatever the fuck they
[07:05:33] want. And everyone's like, well, just because they're doing it doesn't mean, you know, our
[07:05:37] Our guys should do it, it's like, well, our guys are not doing that, okay?
[07:05:41] If our guys were doing that, then yeah, that would be a problem.
[07:05:44] But they're not even doing that, and you're making that equivalence as though they are
[07:05:48] by guys who are literally either a doing the things that they're claiming Grant Platner
[07:05:53] is doing or defending the things that they claim Grant Platner is doing and then some.
[07:06:04] When you realize the major media is in bed with the world because I am aware of it
[07:06:09] I'm just more mad about like liberals who fucking fall for this shit every time
[07:06:23] Yeah, intelligent is right Randy fine is allowed to walk around being too sexy and no one does shit. I
[07:06:29] I mean, the party just forced Swalwell out and we're gonna pretend we're just being partisan
[07:06:36] for no reason.
[07:06:38] Wait, yeah, no, that's the other thing.
[07:06:40] You can literally point to Swalwell, right?
[07:06:42] You could be like, well, there are people who, there are people who have done things
[07:06:51] on the Republican Party side that are legitimately fucked up and they've been forced to drop
[07:06:59] right? Eric Swalwell is a great example. It's like, yeah, there's that's, he's done these,
[07:07:04] the allegations there is an actual sexual assault against a staffer, right? Like there's no comparison.
[07:07:12] Like Swalwell committed crimes, okay? The allegations that he committed a crime multiple times actually.
[07:07:29] You mean the Democratic sideway, what did I say?
[07:07:41] You said on the Republican Party's idea, mom, mistake.
[07:07:47] I'm not any points to how Trump released a Columbia student and his request in response
[07:07:58] to Rainozo's job.
[07:07:59] I'll leave it to the, uh, board of patrol to explain why he would prefer, uh, New Yorkers
[07:08:03] to continue to be unjustly detained by ICE than I meet the president and the Oval Office
[07:08:06] to secure their release.
[07:08:08] I don't think we should be visiting the White House and talking to Trump.
[07:08:10] This guy's terrorizing our neighborhoods and committing war crimes.
[07:08:12] I think we should be getting ready to impeach him instead.
[07:08:15] I am once again reminded of my rant.
[07:08:36] Your guys hiding it sponsored by a fight agency with no remorse regarding killing Iraqis and
[07:08:40] still endorsing like it's lesser evil know seriously why condonement leads republics
[07:08:44] are openly racist we don't have to do the legwork to debunk them that they're
[07:08:46] racist. Wait what? Sponsored by fight agency? Are you saying I'm sponsored by
[07:08:52] fight agency?
[07:08:56] I'm confused.
[07:09:02] No seriously why condone him at least repose are openly racist and we don't have
[07:09:06] to do the legwork to debunk them that we're racist. I'm confused by what you're
[07:09:08] trying to say.
[07:09:14] I mean, I don't think that's what I'm talking about, but I think that's what I'm saying.
[07:09:39] he didn't run Zoran and I don't even think fight agency is who found fight agency is
[07:09:46] just a fucking political ad agency. Okay. I think a lot of people are confused by how
[07:09:55] this stuff works. They get paid by the candidates. They don't find candidates and then run candidates.
[07:10:03] they get paid by candidates, right?
[07:10:07] And they might have good ads and, you know,
[07:10:11] a decent approach to, you know, a media strategy, right?
[07:10:17] But ultimately, ultimately,
[07:10:20] Friday as you see is just an ad agency.
[07:10:22] They are working with Michael Asher in New York 12,
[07:10:24] for example.
[07:10:25] It's a hired service.
[07:10:27] They're working with Tom Steyer in California.
[07:10:29] It's a hired service, okay?
[07:10:32] They're mercenaries at the end of the day.
[07:10:35] They might have good politics for the time being, right?
[07:10:39] They might work with some people that you like
[07:10:41] and some people that you don't like.
[07:10:43] But at the end of the day, they run ads.
[07:10:46] They make ads and they try to manage a campaign, okay?
[07:10:51] They are not a political organization.
[07:10:53] And I need people to understand that.
[07:10:55] I need people to understand that, okay?
[07:10:58] They're mercenaries.
[07:10:59] I like some of the things that Morris Kat has, Kat's has done. I like some of the things that he has said
[07:11:05] But at the end of the day, I'm under no notion that Morris Katz is a socialist warrior
[07:11:12] It is ideologically committed to a revolutionary cause. I see him as a reliable ally
[07:11:19] for as long as he continues to work with
[07:11:24] Some of these people that I think are good, right? Whether it be Zora Mamdani or whoever else
[07:11:29] But at the end of the day, they're an ad agency, okay?
[07:11:35] They're an ad agency.
[07:11:37] They're there to make money.
[07:11:39] This is very different than the Democratic Socialists of America, which is a political
[07:11:45] organization with well-defined goals, okay?
[07:11:51] How to find political goals?
[07:12:07] What is this, bars?
[07:12:09] I asked Senator Bernie Sanders if there's concern.
[07:12:11] Sexual assault lawyers come out and we're at Graham Platner.
[07:12:14] After a sent candidate privately assured Dems,
[07:12:17] there's no credible forthcoming claims.
[07:12:18] Sanders, who are you with, the examiner?
[07:12:21] Sanders, why don't we examine income and wealth inequality?
[07:12:37] Bars, check logs, please. Don't want to spam.
[07:12:40] A leftist friend of mine just said this about planner.
[07:12:42] I think he's the kind of liar who thinks he can shape the narrative because he's smart.
[07:12:45] He started out claiming to be a humble oyster farmer who didn't know much about politics,
[07:12:48] But it turns out he was a comfortable kid who went to Hodgkiss running for Senate at first is wild because none of this was tested in a
[07:12:53] Campaign more will come out toward November. Wait, what I?
[07:12:59] Don't think he's I don't think Grand Platinum is smart. I wouldn't say he's smart
[07:13:04] Dog if he was smart, he would have won. He would have gone through the regular route
[07:13:09] He would not have been a fucking Gorin. He would not have been a machine gunner for the Marine Corps
[07:13:16] He would have gone through JROTC and then the officers program and then, you know, Harvard,
[07:13:24] regular PMC job, maybe consulting career for a little bit.
[07:13:29] He did the opposite of those things. He did, as a matter of fact, a big part of the problems that
[07:13:34] he's facing currently is because he didn't make the right decisions in his life that most people
[07:13:39] are comfortable with, okay? Most people are used to, most people are used to political operatives,
[07:13:45] And they kind of take it for granted. They just don't realize like these people
[07:13:51] that aren't like regular fucking operatives are gonna have things that they've done in their lives
[07:13:58] because they haven't been fantasizing about being presidents since the age of 12, okay?
[07:14:15] Yeah, if he was smart, first of all, yeah, I was gonna say if he was smart dog buddy
[07:14:22] Tell your leftist friend if he was smart why the fuck was he sporting?
[07:14:28] The third most popular nazi insignia
[07:14:32] That was on the fucking helmets of every goddamn nazi soldier for 17 years
[07:14:42] It's the opposite of smart
[07:14:45] Anyway...
[07:15:09] He made life more difficult because he believed in his grind.
[07:15:29] Yeah, he was so smart that he prominently featured his Totemkoff Nazi tattoo at his Jewish sister-in-law's
[07:15:38] wedding, shirtless, dancing around, drunk style.
[07:15:47] I mean, that's, that's like, by the way, that is literally a Larry David Curbier enthusiasm
[07:15:51] plot point.
[07:15:52] Like guy, Marine Corps guy who fucking has a Nazi tattoo that he got in Croatia.
[07:16:02] And he finds out that it is a Nazi tattoo when he takes his shirt off at a Jewish wedding.
[07:16:08] Except the truth is even funnier than that because it turns out his extended Jewish family also didn't realize that it was a fucking totem cough, which I still cannot understand.
[07:16:20] Like that was shocking to me. They need, see this is what every extended Jewish family and non-Jewish family needs a professor of racism.
[07:16:35] me. Because the moment I laid eyes on that bad boy, I was like, that's a totem cough.
[07:16:41] That is the third most popular, third most well-known Nazi insignia.
[07:16:51] The first is the swastika, the second is the obviously the lightning bolts, and then the
[07:16:54] third is literally the totem cough.
[07:17:02] It was shocking when I found out the same cedar didn't know what it was.
[07:17:23] I'm willing to admit I didn't know what a totem crop was until Grand Planner.
[07:17:25] Okay, so many y'all just don't even fucking listen to me because I know for a fact that
[07:17:30] We went through a lot of the Nazi insignia saga when Russia invaded Ukraine and western
[07:17:38] news constantly kept interviewing people that were a part of, let's just say, some
[07:17:47] brigades of disrepute who were real enthusiasts about World War II history.
[07:18:17] Not gonna lie, far and few between are taking notes for eight hours.
[07:18:27] What is this, giving the game away?
[07:18:32] Platinum needs to withdraw.
[07:18:37] I think this is just wish casting at this point.
[07:19:05] Anyway, um, this is all I got for today.
[07:19:10] I'm tired.
