This is the part of the broadcast where I tell you about my personal news.
What's going on in the world of Hassan Hassanabi Piker in between the time period where we
press the start streaming button and press the start streaming button.
Let me go with this one.
We do now, of course, I'm a chud ass loser.
You already know it's Romberg and you Friday.
And as a chud ass loser, I ain't got shit going on in my life.
And the broadcast last night, and to the broadcast last night, what did I do?
Nothing else.
Nothing at all.
I hung out with my mom.
She wanted to watch a movie.
The movie was called the fall.
It's from 2006. It's a, it's a bedridden patient at hospital in the outskirts of 1920s Los Angeles.
A stuntman befriending a fellow patient, little girl, and shares with her a fantastic tale of heroes, myths and villains on a desert island.
And now of course, things are not all they seem and that's what I watched here's the trailer for it. It was a
Aesthetically, it was a masterpiece. I mean it was it was incredible
It was visually striking
David Fincher has played Jones?
He did.
He did?
The little girl was amazing.
She was an amazing actor.
Can you tell me the story now?
What story?
The epic.
Close your eyes.
There were five of them.
They're one common of them.
Governor Odeous.
Governor Odeous.
There won't come a thing.
Governor Odious.
Governor Odious.
I'm gonna straight this world. One day you love them, and the next day you're gonna kill them a thousand times over.
We stop at the same bar when it's very beautiful.
I need the pills to finish the story.
Yeah, it was incredible. It was very dark at times, very sad at times, but it was very
good overall. I really enjoyed it. Was there too much child endangerment for your dad?
No, my dad wasn't here. My dad's not here. He wasn't watching it, but my mom and I watched
together and it was great. She also is a huge Rosalia fan.
Rosalia, am I saying that wrong? Is it Rosalia or is it Rosalia? I don't know,
but let me tell you something. Okay, look at this. Oh, damn. Okay, Google.
She went to the forum to watch her. Rosalia, yeah. She went to the forum to watch her.
her with my brother's wife and a bunch of other people. Like I bought them all tickets
because she is like a huge Rosalie ahead. It's so funny. She saw the opera stuff that
she was doing and was like, I'm, I am lifelong fan, Rosalia, Rosalia. Yeah. She went and
she saw her at the forum the other night. Like I'm not even kidding. She's like a huge
stand now. It's very cute. And I was very, I was very excited for her.
Um, that's called sister-in-law big dog. Yeah, I said brother's wife on purpose to the sister-in-law
because then everyone's going to be like sister-in-law. Or I was going to say her, uh, her daughter-in-law
As a matter of fact, I was going to say that and then everyone would be like, oh, dude,
daughter-in-law, are you married? That's why I said my brother's wife.
A housewife always finds a way to pronounce any Spanish word wrong. Listen, in my heart,
in my spirit, I am flexkin. Okay? In my heart, in my soul, in my spirit, I am mejicano. Okay?
I'm Flexi Khan. I am Fleji Kano, so yeah this is one of the coolest stage
performances I've seen, I don't understand the words, but the singing is so beautiful.
This is art. This is basically my mom's attitude.
Anyway, so yeah, um, she does a lot more stuff than I do.
Let's be real.
My mom is a woman of taste and culture. She was in New York while I was in New York.
We didn't even see each other. She was literally spending the entire time in the archives of the Met.
She has fun. You don't. I mean, I have just a different understanding of fun.
My fun is, you know, making political changes in this country, hopefully pushing for a better future for all, you know, boring shit like that.
Okay.
Yeah, you are watching Fox reporting on 10 people on the White House lawn. What?
Okay. Okay. You don't have to call me out like that. Anyway, no anime expo this year. Maybe. Maybe.
I haven't planned to go to the anime expo this year. I haven't planned on anything really. I haven't.
Like, if you guys remember, I just did an interview this morning and I talked about this, but like,
Like normally what I would do on 4th of July is well my, my Kami Australian boys would
be here, right?
And I would show them America, I would show them the real America, you know, the America
that I love, the America that I enjoy, we would get hogged out.
We would hog down and they have understandably been worried and don't think that they are
capable of even getting a visa to travel into the United States of America, especially not
after that Cuba trip.
I don't know if Boy Boy will ever be allowed back into the United States.
It's unfortunate that we can't do the regular 4th of July celebrations that we normally would.
Right? I missed them.
Because they're sold out anyways. Because they're sold out for what? Anime Expo?
I forgot your IG blast off. No, I didn't. Did I? No, I think I did it late and you didn't see it, maybe?
Oh, wait, I straight up didn't. You're right. Oh, well, it's a secret one today.
Um, but, um, it's on his famous show.
He will always get tickets.
Uh, Zoran did a great 250 speech.
I heard, I know I saw pieces of it.
We'll talk about it.
Francesca Hong is in the New York times, which is very exciting.
Are we having a birthday celebration stream?
My birthday?
Uh, I don't know.
Maybe.
Um, Japan is celebrating America's 250th birthday with a drone show in Tokyo.
If you drink Trump and Zanayitaka H.E. Yeah, we really destroyed this country, bro.
I swear to God, that's so crazy.
Like, I don't think Israel does this stuff.
You know what I mean?
And we give Israel so much more.
Sky News, Australia, extreme streamer, Son Piker and socialist Democrat escalate calls to abolish ICE.
Lefties are losing it is Sky News, Australia.
Lefties are losing it.
Democrats team up to ex ICE.
What's going on?
Are you going to be visiting Iran to pay the Ayatollah your last respects you have until
July 9th? I can't tell if that's like someone who is, you know, joking about like someone
who's like, oh dude, I bet you would go and pay respects to the Ayatollah. It's just like,
i can tell there's a hater or a lover you know what i mean who's who's asking
that oh my god there's a lower-loomer aim on animations all my god
uh... yes uh... later in the day donald trump is going to go live and deliver it
july fourth freedom to fifty celebration speech
speaking of which i have some really sad news
they close the fair down for the day
They closed the fair down for the day, ladies and gentlemen.
Devastation, I know.
Devastating stuff.
Things are not looking too great for America's 250th birthday.
They're putting us out back.
They're sending us out to the farm, out back,
never to return again.
Okay.
They're sending America to the glue factory, folks.
It's very clear what's going on, and I think many people can feel it, many people can see
it.
There's not a lot of big birthday spirits for the United States of America, especially
in this day and age.
The stage was falling apart yesterday.
I know it's devastating.
There's extreme heat born out of anthropogenic climate change,
many problems, many issues.
Hopefully the state fair will be open again at 5pm and, uh, you know,
we can all attend.
But yeah, um, worked out this morning, hit legs, feeling pretty good about that.
Feeling pretty good.
And that's it. I just did an interview again. Another interview. $20,000 down the drain. You already know what it is. We'll talk about all of that.
that, I had told the funeral, SWIFT wedding in Madison Square Garden, causes, causes controversy.
Can I say that? Is that, will that be enough for the SWIFT to like assassinate me? You think
or no? Like, can I say it's controversial? I'm so scared. Heatwave, 4th of July.
Um, cancels, bear, Trump's crypto schemes, Trump and Zoran deliver fourth speeches.
Hogwarts DSA edition Friday, fun day, reacts are back.
Get in.
Hey, you already survived the barbs.
Yeah, the problem is the barbs are basically limited to like Sephora's, whereas Swifties are like executives at marketing agencies and like, like they do HR for big companies and stuff like it's different.
Like they, they, they can, they're just as vicious, but they're, they, they also have like more.
Like the low key have more power. Like the barbs are on the back foot at this point. The barbs are
The barbs are pretty much like a like a done movement, right? They've been on they've been on their last gasp for
quite a while
Whereas
The Swifties are still very much alive and well there
Anyway, um, I know she's personally they're disappointed about the wedding spectacle
Military propaganda in the digital age by Jared Moore. Hey, bro, this dude my king
You got to stop doing two hour and 20 minute videos man
Jared great. Hassan Abbey had a great addition to the reacts lineup
many of them out there. Two hours and 30 minutes is a feature-length movie. God damn. Just call
QD and see if it's safe to cover it. I'm not going to do that. Insane Korean dating show for fun
reacts. Did you know? Okay, maybe we'll look at that. All right, all right, all right, listen,
speaking of Australia, an Aussie creator you reacted to before wants to collab next time you visit.
Oh, it's purple pingers. Yeah, he's the man. He's a commie. It's called the Big Ike.
Okay. All right. I'm a little bit all over the place. Do we have a blast off meme? Let's start there.
Stop sending me fun reacts right now. I have to. It's been a minute video on the docket.
another Hassanabi head with incredible views and great videos thirst edit.
I'm just saying, you know, I need, I need a blast off.
Yeah.
We have no blast off.
We got aim on animation.
We'll watch that too.
Oh my god, I'm looking for a blast-off edit.
I'm looking for a blast-off meme and people are instead sending me videos to watch.
Okay, you know what, fuck it, let's just go with this.
Alright, let's just go with this. We're thirsty for reacts. Yeah. Yeah, the community is desperate for reacts. It seems very, very desperate for react. Not good. It's not good to be desperate chat. Don't be desperate.
This is how I learned a new aim on videos out. Yeah, we're going to watch that, obviously.
Intro to Loomer.
Amon is disrupting some very powerful forces with this, by the way.
He's like putting the crosshairs on him. They're going to denaturalize and deport him or something.
Because the way that no reacts, no okay, no fun, no one-piece fun, okay, calm down.
But there's the boy boy cuba video as well.
Aim on animations does such a fantastic job at making the the normal everyday existence
of like right wing weirdos look so scary.
I don't even know what he's gonna do with Laura Loomer who already looks like a terrifying figure, right?
Laura Loomer already normally just looks like a like a horror show.
You were exhausted, weren't you? After that Professor Chang interview, yes. It's because he has that.
It's tough. It's tough to compete with the top mind of our generation. Okay. Professor Chang is the
top mind of our generation. So obviously having a conversation with someone demonstrating
such high level ideas is always going to be difficult. Okay, that's it. That's why I just
I was trying to keep up with how fast his mind was working. And, you know, he mocked
me. He brain-mogged me. He, he, uh, game theory, mugged me. He destroyed me.
Job, you did a bench beer video and you're in it. Hell yeah, we'll watch that too.
I'm Warren Michigan, and I've got the incredible president, strong fan of the
UIW president. Thank you. Hey, it's awesome to be here. Look, uh, the reason why we
endorsed a bill, a sci-ed for Congress, we got to have fighters in Washington, D.C.
for working class people. The working class misconduct has been left behind.
We've been left behind by corporate greed and by a billionaire and now trillionaire class
that's out of control.
You know, workers are left fending for themselves, trying to live paycheck to paycheck, can't
afford to housing, can't afford to live.
That's what this fight's all about.
If we're going to win this back, working class people better let people that understand
the fight, understand what it's all about.
And that's why we're back in Abdul for Congress.
Let's get behind him.
Hell yeah.
Let's keep winning.
You got it right here.
Now look, those exact corporate...
dog how tall is Sean fame by the way is Sean fame like around my height I've
never been around him basically so it's kind of shocking is he taller than me
politicians are coming with huge amounts of money through all their dirty scheme
packs to try and buy this election we've had 20 million dollars beds already
We're getting outspent two hundred and thirty two. They didn't Sean Fain speak at the RNC. No, dude. That's that's not Sean Fain, okay?
That's the other shot. That's teams through Sean one in one of these media markets
Choffing make the difference. Sean Fain would never
Choffing would never speak the RNC. Are you kidding me?
So if you can give five bucks today makes all the difference help us look
This is a movement of the money against the money. That's the UAW. That's Bernie Sanders. That's the nurses
And that's you so I hope you'll join us drop us a contribution right here
So speaking of Abdul, there's something really funny
That I I saw last night. So if you recall we watched
This brilliant Haley Stevens video that I'm gonna play again. It's there only 38 seconds long
It's one of my favorite Haley Stevens videos of all time it turns out
Let's just watch this and then we'll get to it. Okay over here. We have the ambassador bridge
Trucks freight moving back and forth from the Motor City to Canada moving our economy forward. This bridge is open
It's owned by Donald Trump's biggest donor Maddie Maroon. This bridge is open
It's owned by Donald Trump's biggest donor Maddie Maroon. I love her. Okay
What gives?
They're collecting tools with every passing for wait a minute. Look over here the Michigan made
Canada paid Gordy how bridge
Why because Donald Trump will sell out our country to the highest bidder
Michiganders when I'm your senator this corruption will stop and see Abdul. It's more than two sentences
Yeah, so
She, she ends it with C Abdul. It's more than two sentences. Well, it turns out this just
this video that just got uploaded 22 hours ago is got almost identical to Abdul's video
from February 23rd. Now it turns out everyone has shown these two bridges, right? It's kind
crazy. Everyone that's running for office in Michigan, including the Republican, Mike Rogers,
has their own version of this video. And it's beautiful to watch. You can watch Mallory McMorris
version. You can watch Abdul El Sayed's version. And you can watch Mike Rogers' version to develop
a better understanding of how they message around these issues or what their ideology is.
Now it's a fucking big deal. It's billions, billions of dollars that we're talking about,
Right a lot of commerce
Okay, move in the motor city
Yeah, or michiganders. It's a big fucking deal. Oh, she would never say fucking
Okay
But I find it really funny that she even brings up Abdul at the end of her speech and yet Abdul
Made this exact same video almost a year ago around children for the tale of two bridges a sorting tale
of collusion, of corruption.
The first bridge, the Gordy Howe Bridge.
The second, the Ambassador Bridge,
the largest privately owned bridge in America,
owned by the Maroon family,
known for their slimy business practices and tactics.
As the opening of the Gordy Howe Bridge came to pass,
the Maroons realized that they could not let this happen.
Should this other bridge, another opportunity open, it would mean that the maroons would
go from making billions and billions of dollars to making just billions of dollars.
And of course they could not let that happen.
So what did they do?
They called their benefit.
One Donald Trump, a would-be king holding office in a white house with now a very large
ballroom apparently.
So what did the want-to-be-king Trump do?
He did what anyone of the King would do.
He used his power to complete the circle of corruption,
to protect his benefactors and their billions and billions.
He stopped the Gordy Howe Bridge for low.
So what is the lesson to be learned from this, children?
That we need to get money out of politics,
put money back in your pocket,
and pass Medicare for all.
Okay, over here, we have the Ambassador Bridge.
Trucks freight moving back and forth
from the motor city to Canada,
Moving our economy forward.
This bridge is open.
It's owned by Donald Trump's big-
No, I didn't see Julian Kaziplankas,
Oxford Union speech.
Why would I have watched that?
He gets donor, Maddie Maroon.
No, I'm too busy watching, look,
chatter who keeps asking me,
have you seen Julian Kaziplankas, Oxford Union speech?
Do you wanna know why I'm not watching that?
Because I'm too busy when I go offline,
when I end the broadcast.
A lot of you think like I'm reading books or whatever or maybe you know reading articles trying to develop like
Better understanding of things. I'm gonna be talking about no, it's none of those things. I'm watching Haley steep
I'm watching Haley Stevens videos on repeat
Okay
Yeah, I'm watching Haley Stevens on repeat say because you honor
Maddie Marie
Trops biggest you honor
I love, I love that. I love her. I really do. I mean, she's such a freak about Israel, obviously,
but it's becoming a new, it's becoming a new stem for me, new vocal stem for me.
They're collecting tools with every passing. But wait a minute, look over here. The Michigan-made
Canada-paid Gordy Howe Bridge.
So yeah, I mean, she stole his flow.
It'd be harmless conversion evolution
if she hadn't signed up the video acting like this was proof
she's super smart and has original thoughts all the time.
Yeah, it's really funny.
Gives, what gives?
That's my favorite.
What gives?
What gives?
What give?
Um, so, the, who has the McMorrow one though?
Because apparently Mallory McMurray made the exact same video and so did, so did my Grodgers.
Gordy Howbridge is finished, but Donald Trump won't open it because the billionaire family
that owns the other bridge gave him a million bucks.
I'm Mallory McMurray and I've got one message for the president.
Open this damn bridge and you better believe I approved this message.
I'll say I'm doing his best to draw an impression, McMorrow.
I've got one message for you, Donald Trump.
See, Abdul, I can string two sentences together.
Yeah, I mean, as far as like concise,
as far as concise messaging goes,
McMorrows is probably the most concise.
Haley Stevens is a lot more real sounding
and still much more concise than Abdul Elsa Ed.
I'll do all say it is very clearly not trying to like, like Si Ed is very clearly not trying
to read like a script or anything. He's just, you know, pre-styling, but let's take a look
at my goat on the other side. Michael Rogers. Okay. Cause it's clear cut corruption, right?
Maddie McMorrell or Maddie. What was his name? Not McMorrell. Fuck. God damn it. What's his
name, Maddie. Maddie Maroon, Trump's biggest deoner, right? Trump's biggest deoner, Maddie
Maroon, has obviously demanded the Trump administration to stop the opening of this bridge that will
obviously compete with their private bridge. So, it's clear cut, quid pro quo, Republican
billionaires that are campaign mega donors, Donald Trump, just like disrupting, disrupting
Michiganders from making more money, disrupting Michiganders from engaging in commerce. It's
totally, it's unbelievable, it's totally unacceptable.
made that same message be known. Now let's hear how the Republican is covering it.
I'll protect our auto jobs and guess what Michigan? We're gonna have a growing Michigan manufacturing. Let's get to work
Interesting
Interesting he doesn't mention why the bridge is not open yet
That ship might work on a voter sadly. Yeah, he's like I'm gonna stop Chinese cars from coming over this bridge
Okay
Strange, but fine. Okay. I mean that that will you know trade protectionism is certainly
Something that works especially in Michigan
You know, it's it's one of the few places that has like a robust industrial base that remains in America
You know the automobile manufacturers the problem for the problem for our boy
Mike Rogers here is, of course, the UAW has endorsed Abdel El Sayed, so good luck to him
trying to make this argument, even amongst the rank and filers, especially when Abdel
El Sayed also has the aesthetics down pat, which many rank and filers that could find
themselves in the throes of reactionary sentiment would potentially vote for someone like Abdul
on the aesthetic grounds. Shannon Watts is posting her Ws. Yeah, I saw that. She's highlighting
Hen Mazik and Israel propagandist, by the way, Hen Mazik, Sampire says in a just world
common hairs would serve prison time over Israel.
Um, the Sampire says in a just world common hairs would turn us off into the Hague and
serve prison time.
I'm going to reply to Shannon once again, Shannon, you're once again proving your pro
Israel, proving yourself to be a Hasbara agent by posting Hen Mazig videos, not sure
why you're still mad, I called your clear bias on the issue of she probably has half
this chat blocked. I know. I love how unironically you agree with a Republican on Chinese cars,
a Republican. You know that Republican is lying about trade protectionism, right? Republicans
don't engage in trade protectionism. Donald Trump is the first Republican that has actually
done any trade protectionism. Trade protectionism, especially as it pertains to American industry
like the car manufacturing industry, has been a long standing democratic party position.
My argument on cars in the UAW is always revolved around the fact that we should be more competitive
around the world. And we should try to outcompete China by being just like China. And we should
make cars that are smaller in general. We should make cars that are more cost effective.
What do you mean, right, right? Did you just hear a Republican fake? Did a Republican just
fake you out? Do you think Republicans are the party of trade protectionism? Are you fucking stupid?
What the hell's going on? Hello? Is your brain busted? Is this new for you? Is politics
just like a new phenomena for you? American protectionism is inherently reactionary in
China never engaged in trade protectionism. Yes, Chinese international commerce is unironically
hypercapitals. What the fuck are we talking about? What? The international trade design
that we currently have is one that America wrote that literally did actually suck the jobs,
the industrial base out of this country, and sent it to China. Okay? When did Dengism imply
trade protectionism? Dog, I'm an America's citizen. What are we talking about?
The whole point of this is, do you consider, do you consider trade protectionism to be a,
an actual right-wing position, it's not. Free trade is a right-wing position. Free trade is
the fake dog whistle that American capitalists have deployed in an effort to justify it.
Sometimes liberals, neoliberals have also went along with this free trade scheme.
I don't care about Dengism from the perspective of developing a robust or protecting what
remains of the American industrial base, you know? In any case, this is 100% a stock account
We ban for being insufferable. I know he just, no, it's just funny that he tried to make
it seem like Mike Rogers sincerely is an advocate.
What is this? This person owes you $500. No, this person owes Matt Sheehan $500. The case
for a son pikers a democratic as a asset assumes he's interested in political power is willing
to help democrats neither are true he's made no effort to build a movement fight for a
cause mobilize his base nothing politics is to a son is one million dollars is to mr
beefs content says the vice-chair of a used to center left think tank that literally achieved
nothing and will never be as popular keep tweeting about his son because that's the
only way you gain a following i will bet five hundred dollars that we have knocked more
doors and all efforts coordinated by Assan. Interesting. Has anyone checked in on Progress
Libs and CN liberalism? Because, you know, they'd be real quiet since the selection cycle
started. Literally not one of these people are Democrats. Lemma Fay out. It's all the
tanky left. What is this name? One thing is on is done other than bringing someone on
stream. He's Rachel Maddow for people who don't go outside. I think explain how she's
I think these guys, I think these guys basically engage in a, if I don't see it, then it's
not real mentality, not this similar to how Republicans behave, no object permanence whatsoever.
And I guess that's what it is, where they just try to maintain this grip on the false
narrative that they have created, where they're like, he actually doesn't go outside.
If you don't look into it, don't look into it. Just, just trust me, just take my word
for it. He's never gone outside. This was their cope when Claire won in New York has
helped when it was on help to win. Then I was a Biden's 2020 campaign manager. Be real.
He did nothing but stream with her. No different from a Fox news interview. Extremely annoying
that this terminally online loser gets credit for helping campaigns with our dozens of terminally
online losers meant endearingly. I'm one of them who's done more than he has in his entire
life to get progressives elected. Hmm. So they do actually see me outside. And yet here she's
saying, name one thing, a son is out of there done, then bring someone on stream. Huh?
So for, for a lot of these guys, I mean, there's probably no better way to prove it,
But for a lot of these guys, it's not about the truth at all. It's about maintaining a narrative.
And for, for many of them, some of them have an ideological predisposition. This person is
supposed to be like a neoliberal. They're tasked with, uh, promoting neoliberalism, which is hilarious.
I feel like that's, uh, a dead cause, not dissimilar to, you know, Jonathan Greenblatt's, um, initiatives
of combating anti-Semitism. It's not going to work. You're fucking it up. You're making it far worse
for yourself and the cause that you ostensibly promote.
At a certain point, though, their dwindling followers have to realize that they're being
led astray. They're being led down this weird pipeline where they're just consistently wrong.
Yes, this woman also joked about Pete Hegzeth, like demanded Pete Hegzeth murder one of the Cuban flotilla individuals demanded that Pete Hegzeth blow up their boat.
Um, so, you know
But yeah, um, they got they got nothing so the only thing that they can point to the only thing they can do is just like deny reality
Yeah, it's irrelevant it's not enough it's just funny because like
Obviously, the campaigns and the politicians don't feel that way.
Ironically enough, the campaigns of the politicians feel very differently, but they don't have
to hear from them ever.
They can, their job here is to just like maintain a narrative, maintain a certain narrative
in their audience, a narrative that protects their ego, a narrative that protects their
position as long as it is not dissimilar to what Asmongold does. It's not dissimilar to what MAGA does.
I think for a lot of people, they've basically realized that they can get away with just consistently
lying about things that are unfolding all around them, as long as their audience is not
invested in any way, shape, or form in maintaining consensus reality. And unfortunately, for many
of us, a lot of people don't have that investment. Most people do not want consensus reality.
They want their biases to be reaffirmed. And that's precisely the reason why, yeah, it's
genuinely reflecting pull politics. Yeah, everything is turned into the reflective
pool. If you're a Republican, you look at the pool and you say, you know what, that's
actually American flag blue, right? You look at the reflecting pool, you say it's American
flag blue, or if it's green and covered in algae, it must be because the Democrats, the
Democrat party did that. They terrorized the pool. They should all go to prison. Right?
There's no investment and consensus reality on that, on that side. It's a cult and we
call it out. But there are many different cults taking shape all around the internet.
Right? This is one of them. There are a lot of people that do this exact same thing. They look at a situation and they try to find a way to maintain their posture, maintain their narrative, reassert the idea that, you know, this guy's actually silly.
He's silly. He's ineffective. It doesn't matter
Yeah, if any of these god forbid if any of these campaigns had lost of course they would immediately say oh
They lost because they aligned with you
They lost because they aligned with you
But when they win you played no role in it you haven't done anything all you do is just go out there and interview people
And that's what it is. It's kind of sad because I expect liberals to be a little bit better read
than Republicans and to not behave in the same cult-like manner. But unfortunately,
you know, that's not the case. Yeah, you literally forexed Canvasser turn out after you went to
Colorado for Kuros. Yeah, it's not even that. I mean, that's what the Kamzleys were saying as well.
Um, I cannot get over the fact that they do this shit for a sexist whose goal in life
is to film himself consensually or not sucking and fucking anyone who will have him regardless
of age.
I know.
I mean, that's one element of it.
And, uh, I just, I wish these people, well, I hope they get out of this like weird cult.
um
I don't think they ever will
What the fuck is this stop?
I don't think they ever will I genuinely
I feel like they're just you know, this is their their sense of belonging. It's like firmly established
So they have no commitment to the truth whatsoever
Son pikers write about this both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris deserved being prison and or at the Hague for financing arming and enabling
Every way is real destruction of Gaza complicity and genocide is the ultimate crime against humanity
It's so crazy. I know this is one of those. Here's the problem. The problem with this
statement is it's true. It's objectively true. Okay? But it's also a hard truth for Americans
to swallow, especially a lot of liberals who obviously have some affinity towards the Democratic
I partied the brand and also specifically Kamala Harris.
I said, in a just world, that is what would happen.
I didn't say we live in a just world, okay?
We don't, we don't live in a just world.
You can argue against that.
You can argue against why it's actually unjust
to potentially criminally prosecute the vice president
the president for aiding and abetting a foreign nation and its genocide against the population,
you can maybe try and say it's actually unjust to prosecute these people.
That's quite a difficult argument, I think, to advance.
So for the most part, people will instead go, look at how silly this is.
You should be in prison, actually.
That's what Hen Mazik, Israeli propagandist said, right?
Hassan Piper says that in a just world, Kamala Harris was served prison time over Israel.
Interesting standard for a man who was atoned for nothing.
Said America deserve not alone.
Called ultra-orthodox Jews in bread on stream.
Said it doesn't matter, rape happened on October 7th, said Hamas a thousand times better
than Israel and stands by it.
Said a Houthi terrorist he featured on stream is Anne Frank.
Oh, of course, absolutely.
Ban from the UK has not conducive to the public good.
He wants Kamala Harris in prison.
Who does Hassan atone to?
He built the standard, let him be measured by it.
It's like, dog, none of those are crimes, aiding and abetting in genocide and war crimes.
Even aiding and abetting in war crimes is a crime, right?
Even if you're not like going to agree that Israel has conducted a genocide, even though
it's fucking clearly as, Israel certainly has, has a litany of war crimes under its
belt.
Okay.
A tone for statements.
statements. Like I'm not saying Kamala Harris or Joe Biden would potentially deserve at
least criminal scrutiny at the Hague over their statements. These are people in positions
of power. The criminality comes from not what they have said, it comes from what they have
done, what they have overseen, what they've signed off on, okay?
Anyway, aren't you aiding and abetting by paying taxes to the American government?
There's a moral culpability associated with this, for sure, and it's one that I actually
take very seriously, which is why I try to do my very best to put an end to it.
It's a moral culpability that we all have.
It's true.
Okay?
It's not, you're not wrong.
I know you're bringing that point up as like a silly gotcha, as though I do not acknowledge
this, right?
But if you're making the comparison between an American taxpayer and the American president
that's directing or at least signing off on how those tax dollars go and contribute to
genocide, you're a fucking moron, okay?
I don't know how else to explain this to you.
Like there's varying degrees of moral culpability, especially if you're the average American taxpayer.
You don't get to have a say, unfortunately, in how your tax dollars are spent.
That's kind of the problem with this current fake democratic process that we have.
And that's what we seek to change.
But if you are the leader in this undemocratic process, I haven't paid my taxes from last
year because of the struggle.
Okay, buddy, you're going to go to fucking prison then, you know what I mean?
being ridiculous. I mean, good luck. Man, that first sense doesn't really prepare you
for the rest of the post. Israel is the Rhodesia of our time. They've created a paradise at
the threshold of barbarians. The Communists in the West cannot tolerate this. Oh my God.
He said, Israel is the Rhodesia of our time. And then it was a pro-Israel statement and
a pro-Rhodesia statement. Oh my God. Unbelievable. Well, good thing for us. And maybe hopefully
for the Palestinians, Rhodesia no longer exists. So they still with rage and hatred at everything
Excellent. They are doing everything in their power to turn Israel into the next Zimbabwe. Oh, you mean a fucking free nation a
free nation that's sovereign
As opposed to a fucking white ethno state
Um, yeah, in any case, uh, for all my haters out there, uh, we did the obdul thing. Um,
speaking of obdul, even the Detroit free press defended obdul, which is really funny, uh,
Detroit Free Press actually endorsed Mallory McMarro. But then they turned around and actually
defended Abdul and against this APAC ad that came out.
The APAC ad is claiming outside disrespected women. And it's literally just him like disagreeing
with politicians. You know what I mean? It's just, that's it. That's it. Him running against
women implies he's anti women. Like he disagrees with Gretchen Whitmer called Gretchen Whitmer
bought and sold by big pharma, which is true, right? And they're like, well, classic, classic
misogyny. Immediately these guys go back to the fucking Bernie Bros or misogynistic white
Bros Bernie Bros. So white Bernie Bros. So misogynistic. Welcome back 2016. Welcome back
2020. It's wonderful. It's the grossest, most cynical deployment of identity politics.
It completely shows the hollow nature of idpaul and how it's weaponized by reactionaries with
regular frequency. It's the story that we have seen time and time again, especially in this
community, right? It's one that we've seen be deployed against this community, against myself.
against Bernard. And they're trying to do it. This is not an apology. Why should he apologize?
Because of what he said was sexist. Hey, do you think it was racist when McMorah was asked
about Hassan Piker and El Sayed and immediately brought the Michigan synagogue attack apropos
of nothing? Does this feel like a touch bigoted to you, Jeremy, since you're so concerned
about, since you're so conservative subtext. No, because the fact that AES didn't immediately
condemn the attack as anti-Semitic is reason enough to doubt that he has the Jews' best
interests in mind.
Oh, so Muslim Americans have collective guilt and Jewish Americans don't. Got it. I don't
know what you're getting at here. Yes, you don't, because you're a fucking racist asshole.
And that's precisely the reason why you're not seeing, you're not seeing the racialized
Anonymous, that is, that you already have to see Abdullah's morally culpable for an anti-Semitic
hate crime attempt.
You're doing that because he's Muslim.
We don't do that with Judaism, by the way.
We don't do that with Judaism.
We don't just assume that Judaism is in any way, shape or form, related to Zionism, and
that all Jews are morally culpable for the crimes of Israel, right?
As a matter of fact, a lot of people get mad about that, ironically enough.
The Nazis get mad because they say, no, all Jews are responsible, okay?
Or rather, they just hate the Jews and they find the Jews to be a perfect, reliable, consistent
outside group that they can blame for all of society's problems, right?
And now they're using the unpopularity of Israel to advance that agenda.
But the Zionists also get mad.
Zionists also get mad.
They turn around and they say, oh, what do you mean?
All Jews do care about us, Israel, actually.
you can't even fucking complain about that. You can't even complain about us saying that.
It's ridiculous. In any case, these people are silly. They're unserious. They're cynically
deploying identity politics here. And it's because they have no arguments. They can't argue on the
virtues. They can't argue on the positions. So they have to lean into broader frameworks,
Or rather, they have to lean into like the audience's reaction to certain statements,
hopefully by negatively framing it enough, that the audience will be more receptive to what they're saying.
They can't tackle the message, so they attack the messenger.
This is always the case.
It's not any different than what I have withstood, as you guys know, as you guys have experienced, as you guys have seen.
But I don't think people have appetite for this any longer.
And that's precisely the reason why it has backfired.
This content creator, self-pop politics on TikTok has coined a term for it.
A lot of people talk about the Hassanabi bump, but what about the Hassanabi hex?
Let's take a look.
Hassan has talked up the Hassan bump, where candidates get a boost in the polls after
they appear with him. But has anyone talked about the Hassan hex?
Did Hassan Piker put a hex on Mallory McMorrah's campaign?
Polls indicate she has collapsed into a distant third place
ever since she fell victim to Hassan Derangement Syndrome.
McMorrah piled on to a coordinated centrist purity test
concocted by an organization who self-claimed to hate purity tests,
condemning Abdul Al-Sayed's participation in a rally with Hassan.
She compared him to Nick Fuentes and relayed anti-Semitism concerns.
Later on, when she was asked if she thinks Hasan is an anti-Semite, she said no.
Okay, so then what the hell was that?
At best, it was a puzzling miscalculation.
At worst, it was a signal to donors and power brokers telling them what side she's going
to be on if it comes down to left versus center.
Wink, wink.
I'll be on your side.
McMorrow doubled down on this tomfoolery and questioned if Abdul was really a doctor.
What?
I don't think this is really the reason her campaign has flatlined.
Two things can be true.
Most voters in Michigan don't really know much about Hassan, but it also polarized young
voters against her.
And the 2018 HR politics didn't help with anyone else.
More so, I think it's another failure of the triangulation project.
McMorrow is running an in-between-lanes strategy that has great appeal to the pundit class
that has an over obsession with the left-right spectrum.
The strategists think it's a Goldilocks zone to bring the wings of the parties together,
but really it turns into a no man's land, squeezed from both sides.
We need to rein in data centers, but here I am giving one a tax break.
Corporate money poisons our politics, but here I am taking all of their money.
Ice is lawless and out of control.
Here's why we should fund it.
Healthcare is a human right, but not really.
Israel's committing a genocide.
why we should keep giving them military aid. The left has had electoral problems because
who they are appealing to, that coalition of people has been too white and too educated
to build a wide enough coalition. This progressive, pragmatic, technocratic project is even whiter
and even more educated, thus smaller and not viable outside of the most.
Yeah, the Goldilocks zone comes across as insincere. It shows that you lack moral conviction to the
average person. And it's a super simple issue to identify with, because the overwhelming majority
of the American population, whether they're in the primaries or whether they're in the general,
see exactly what's going on in Gaza. They see it as a genocide. They see it as horrifying.
They see it as something that should be put an end to. And beyond that, they also see
what Israel has done in domestic politics, right? Yes, I got my hat back. Shout out to
Rom K for sending it to me. Shout out to New York City DSA. They sent me a new one. But
But in any case, in any case, the point I'm trying to make is, the point I'm trying to
make is this.
The average person simply put doesn't like Israel, okay?
They don't like what Israel is doing in Gaza.
They don't like what Israel is doing in Lebanon.
They don't like what Israel has done to go to America into going into a waging war with
Iran.
They don't like that that translates to higher gas prices for themselves.
It's understandable that the average person doesn't like this.
And then on top of that, they see people who defend Israel constantly chirp on their timelines,
constantly demand cancellations, deplatforming.
They see massive donors to the Trump campaign, massive billionaire mega donors go and purchase
places like TikTok, CNN, CBS, all at the behest of both the MAGA movement and also this foreign
country and its interest.
They don't like that.
They don't like that at all, so when someone is afraid to call that out, if someone is
afraid to say the truth about what's going on, they see that as being insincere.
And they're not wrong, okay?
This is a simple narrative, it's a simple to understand narrative, but it's also correct,
right?
It's a perfect situation.
I hope you die.
Why?
Chatter?
Goddamn.
This son of a bitch of a dog. I hope they lock you up and electrocute you
This is the son of a bitch of a dog. I hope you die. I hope you die
Jesus Christ
Are you okay, man?
Anyway, I hope you get health care. I hope you have a I hope you find meaning in your life
you know what I mean? In any case, what I was saying is it's a simple narrative and it's one
that the average person can understand, right? It's a simple narrative that the average person
can understand. And it's fantastic for us because it's also true, okay? Oftentimes,
simple to understand narratives actually are not correct or aren't like good litmus tests,
Right? In this circumstance, it is a good litmus test. It happens to be a good litmus test,
because if you are afraid to say the truth about what Israel is doing, both as it pertains to
American foreign policy, but also what Israel is doing in shaping American domestic policy,
and you're frustrated with that, and then you see the overwhelming majority of American politicians
refuse to call it out. You find that to be insincere. And that insincerity is precisely
what people despise about modern politics. Okay?
It's funny to the modern Democratic Party was built around the idea we're not going to get
caught cheerleading again for the next Vietnam. And then they went over to and getting caught
cheerleading again for the next Vietnams.
Dude, if you, I think if you keep spamming, buy, borrow, die more times in the chat, we'll
eventually read this JP Morgan.com article.
Please stop.
It's not, I've covered it extensively.
Okay?
I promise. This is not new information for us, Chatter. I have covered by-borrow-die,
take an hour off. We know.
Honestly, somebody should clip this. It's like a perfect microcosm of what watching the stream
is like. Hasan is in the middle of making a case for the human DCC found at the center of good
politics and some random just frothing at the mouth to say horrible shit to him. I mean, this is,
this is how it is. This is always how it is. Okay.
So, what I was trying to say is,
This is simple to understand narrative, but it also translates to being honest and being
a real fighter on issues that people care about beyond Israel as well. Although it is
one of the greatest moral crises of our generation, genocide is the crime of all crimes, it also
extends to where certain politicians will be on other issues. Will they care more about corporate
interests and corporate donations or will they care about the needs of their constituents?
That's it. That's it. If you can't say Israel committed a genocide that Israel's an apartheid
state and therefore deserves accountability, then you're not going to side with your constituents
when it comes to health care. You're going to side with big corporations. You're going to side with
big pharma, you're going to side with private health care providers. And people can understand
that. That's why it's not only a simple to understand, easy to define message, but it's
also one that translates to being earnest, being an earnest fighter for all of these
other issues that people care about, not just Israel.
Favorable districts towards it. But I really hope McMoroll supporters can get behind Abdul
else I had because Haley Stevens is everything wrong with the Democratic Party.
Yeah. That's where the Hassanabi bump comes from, or the Hassanabi hex as he's coining.
So here it is. Abdullah al-Sayed is back on CNN, back on another panel on CNN.
And he's cooking again, and he's with Chuck Rocha too.
I care about a lot on this show is AI and its effect on the economy to come.
You have talked about public takeover, if I have that right, or privatization.
What word do you want to use?
AI under democracy?
I mean, democracy is like, you know, public takeover of government or the people who own
the company.
if you have a technology that is going to vastly change the nature of the economy, it's
really important that you have democratic oversight of that technology.
So if we call that a takeover, then we have a takeover of a lot of different things.
But I think democracy is a good thing.
And AI is a scary new technology, while democracy is a very tried and true old technology.
And I'm just saying that you should have democracy overseeing the way AI is being deployed.
Would you turn down money from AI companies, and do you think other Democrats should?
I turned down money from all companies.
I don't take corporate money.
money from an AI company? I take it and turn down money from every company. I don't take
it for granted. Should Democrats turn down money from AI companies? I think Democrats
should turn down money from all companies because you should not be bought by the people
who have interest in making sure government works for them instead of working for everyday
people. That's all I got to say. Smogum. This is a simple thing. King. King. King. Real
King hours dude. One issue I care about a lot on this show is. Yeah. How many times
are they going to ask the same question? Well, his answer is very clear is because they're
not getting the answer that they want. That's why that's also the reason why they keep hitting
him with the, oh, well, what about aligning with the son piker? It's like it's not only irrelevant.
It's immaterial to this race. Uh, it's, it's utterly irrelevant, uh, uh, to, to the things that people
care about, to the things that voters care about, right? Um, but they'll still keep pressuring him on it.
And the reason why they keep pressuring him on it is because they want him to back down.
They want him to apologize. They want him to turn around and say, oh, I'm sorry, you are right. I
shouldn't have actually corresponded with this dangerous radical, right? And in that circumstance,
it's not even about, like, Abdul showing real change or anything like that. They're not,
they're just trying to get them on something. They're just trying to get them to apologize for
anything, so that then, then they can be like, see, you're contradicting yourself. Because if you
notice like, apologies don't really matter in the political sphere, right? No one cares about them.
And the greatest example of this is my 2019 comments about America deserving 9-11,
something that I, you know, offered additional context to immediately after, like in the process
of like delivering that statement, right? When I say we totally did, we brought it upon ourselves,
very clear that I'm talking about blowback. Not only that, but I also apologize for the language
that I had used because it caused people to misunderstand the position. Like I wasn't
saying it's good that 3,000 American citizens died in the process. That's not something
I believe at all, right? And I did. I turned around and I said, like, yeah, look, I should
have used a better language when talking about it. It didn't really matter. It didn't matter
at the time. Fox News still ran around and said, I'm a dangerous al-Qaeda style Muslim
terrorist. Okay. And for years and years, no one really cared about it or talked about it until
it was brought back into the fucking fold by Andrew Cuomo. Andrew Cuomo thought it was a viable
line of attack against Zoham Amdani. It wasn't, it failed, but it didn't matter. A lot of these other
center-right and centrist consultants then still kept deploying this line of attack over and over
and over again, in all of these other races, including the Abdu'l-al-Sahed one, it has
yet to work, but it doesn't matter. They still do it, because their goal is to punish people
who are outspoken, okay? Their goal is to punish people who are outspoken on these issues.
Their goal is to discipline people like myself. Their goal is to turn people like myself into
like this super toxic individual that no one should actually be around, that people should
actually fear, and people should not listen to, right? And it's still not working because
in the age of independent media, I have my own audience. I have my own platform, a platform
that is outright competitive with these other major platforms, right? So I can offer context.
I can offer clarity. I can offer my other positions and have reasonable people decide
for themselves, whether they agree with it or not, right?
Anyway, let's take a look at this ZBS takeout.
Welcome back to the takeout. Obviously, Democrats want to win the House and the Senate in the
midterms. And to do that, they need to project a unified front, or so the theory goes. But
there are tensions between some Democrats and progressive Democrats. They're kind of
clawing and fighting with each other. We saw a cluster of Democratic Socialist victories
Last week in New York City, is that a big thing, a New York thing, or a nationwide possible
trend?
Well, Michigan might give us some insight into that.
It holds primaries on August 4th.
State Senator Mallory McMorough, Congresswoman Hailey Stevens, and Dr. Abdul El-Sayed are
vying for the Democratic nomination for the Senate seat, being vacated by incumbent Gary
Peters.
Earlier today, I spoke with El-Sayed, who is considered the most progressive candidate.
Please take a listen.
You are currently leading in the polls, the primaries August 4th, so let's do a thought
experiment.
You become the Democratic nominee for Senate.
So let's go over some things that Mike Rogers, the likely Republican nominee, and Republicans
who've already reserved $45 million in advertising are gonna say about you, that you wanna defund
the police because you've tried to delete posts.
I'm sorry.
This is so strange to me.
Okay.
i know it's not relevant
uh... with the with the issues that are being addressed or whatever but like
welcome back to the takeout where is it hold on i gotta show you this i gotta
show you this this
so he's not wearing a tie
and neither is a dual
okay
he's not wearing a tie and neither is a dual
But what I find particularly strange about it is if you look at the background here in the wide shot, you'll see it, hold on, all he has are ties in the background.
Why don't you guys wear ties? I think it would be cool if I think it would be cool if you took out a tie and gave it to your guest who's not wearing a tie and then you put on a tie as well.
Okay? Like, why is there a Tyraq back there? You can't mention this every time. I'm not
getting over it. I'm a suit guy now. Okay? I'm a numbers guy, but I'm also a suit guy.
And I just, I find it strange that he has a, a, a Colt Rack back there for ties and neither
of them are wearing ties, okay? Fucked up.
You're saying you want to do just that, do you?
Let's talk about what I'm going to say about that, because that's the thing that Democrats
tend to get wrong. We're so worried about what they're going to say about us that we
forget that we also have mouths that work. So, Mike Rogers is a guy who's never met a
pharma lobbyist he didn't love. Like, he gets really mad when you call him a pharma lobbyist,
but he spends so much time lobbying around with pharma lobbyists that you wonder whether
or not he wanted to be one. And he hasn't explained how he made $14 million and moved
to a McMansion in Florida, but during his time in Congress, because of the influence
of the pharma lobby on him, and the hundreds of thousands of dollars he took, this guy
voted to raise prescription drug prices, I don't know how many times, then helped to
architect the legislation that turned into the opioid epidemic.
I'm looking forward to forcing him to answer that question to Michiganders, who lost family
members, both because they could not afford their medication and because they died of
opioid overdoses.
I'm a doctor who rebuilt the health department, eliminated medical debt, and made sure that
families had an arcane when they needed it.
So I like my chances on that one.
Then let's talk about his trouble with Donald Trump.
But if I'm a Michigander and I say, wait a minute, I hear you and I get you and I'm
locked in on all those issues.
But I do care what you think about funding police and what you said it, well, what I
said a year ago.
I was a Wayne County health director and when the juvenile detention facility was in shambles,
I declared a public health state of emergency to rebuild it.
I raised everyone's salaries and wages immediately 35% so we could keep the folks who were leaving
so that we could staff the facility.
So if folks want to talk about what I said, I'm just going to point to what I did, right?
When I had the opportunity to make sure that folks were safe in the facility, both the
youth that were there and the people working there by making sure that we could staff it
appropriately, I did exactly that.
So I'll let my record do the talking.
And we're going to let Mike Rogers' record do his talking.
And they will probably say, you hang around with Hassan Piker.
Hassan Piker has said things that are virially anti-American, they would say, and anti-Semitic.
Do you have any regrets about Hassan Piker?
Well-
You know that's gonna be an issue.
Major, I'm hanging out with you.
I don't know everything you've said.
Right.
I'm sure you said some things I disagree with.
You said some things I agree with.
It tends to be, in the real world, we hold people accountable for what they said, not
what somebody around them said.
And it's this funny gotcha game that Democrats love to play, and Republicans love to play.
Which I think people are sick and tired of in politics.
So if you want to play this game where you're gonna hold me accountable, like, you know,
guilt by association based on something that somebody else said, I'm just going to make
sure that people know what Mike Rogers has said.
What Donald Trump has said, which he so desperately sought an endorsement from and can't seem to
figure out how to shake, cuz, you know, Donald Trump's approval rating is in the gutter.
Everything Donald Trump touches turns into trash.
So I wanna make sure that the broader public understands that about him.
Let's talk about something I experienced when I was in Dearborn, Michigan in 2024.
I talked to voters there who were at becoming like this, this stuff doesn't work.
Every question he asked about the interests of his employer, nothing to do with American
interest. Socialists are not used dirty money to run for office. However, others did. I
wish he would just answer the questions. He knows he's running for Michigan Senate, right?
Gaza isn't Michigan. It's so strange to see an American politician talk the truth and
actually look at the interests of human beings that are corporations and terrorist lobby
groups is started with Mamdani and that hope will continue. Why do they keep trying to
make you an issue? Because he's Teflon, he's got nothing. Also, can you mention genocide
again. Here's the thing. He's, he's fairly squeaky clean. So they're trying to, they're
trying to make an issue. They're trying to make an issue out of, you know, what they
normally have had success with, right? Oh, you've hung out with this podcast there. And
ironic because for months after the election, these outlets all brought up Democratic Party
consultants and prominent Democrats onto their platforms where they all said, here's our big
problem. We are constantly yelling about podcasters and we should not do that any longer.
It turns out, lo and behold, and that was bullshit, okay?
That was bullshit.
It turns out they were always going to go back to the old tricks.
People are tired of it.
People don't understand why this is supposed to be an issue, okay?
in the post-Trump era where Donald Trump says horrible things over and over again.
Who cares what some other fucking podcast or a said who cares what I've said.
Now there's also the other side of this story, which is that the things that I've said or
the things that I believe the things that I advocate for are defensible positions, which
is precisely the reason why they can't actually talk about the message.
So they have to talk over the message, they have to shoot the messenger, they have to
say, oh, but don't you feel like this guy is actually reduced to our negatively framed
choice quotes?
Don't you think he's a bad person over and over again?
That normally would work.
That would potentially work if we lived in the old age of information.
If we lived in an era where mainstream media were the only outlets that people get their
news from, if I didn't have my own platform, a competitive platform to mainstream outlets,
then yes, that would work because the only thing I'd be associated with, the only thing
I'd be known by is how these people have perceived me, how these people have promoted me, how
these people have reduced me to the most negatively framed sound bites that you could possibly
fine, but that's not the error that we're in. And I brought this up with Dave Weigel
as well a couple days ago, if you remember where I said, a lot of what mainstream media
now ironically does is sound bites and gotcha moments.
Whereas, whereas when these guys come on my broadcast, they actually have room to talk
extensively about policy, policy that connects with the voters, policy that connects with
the constituents. Right? That's what's so funny about this situation is that it's, it's
upside down world now. It almost reminds me a little bit of the, the John Stuart era
where mainstream outlets would not actually hold politicians feet to the fire and would
not adequately criticize the iraq war
so the only outlet where you could get reasonable critique of both parties
both the democrats and their ineptitude in the republicans
and their warmongering
was a comedy show
and nowadays
if you want serious policy proposals from these candidates
you have to literally go to a fucking twitch stream
that's perhaps the reason why rnc
is consistently clipping my stream, my broadcast,
and using it as an attack ad against these politicians.
Another example of this was with Francesca Hong,
who I'm gonna be talking about in a second.
In a rapid fire round with the Sompiker,
Wisconsin Governor of Canada, Francesca Hong,
says she supports abolishing ICE,
state-run grocery stores legalizing weed,
freeing Palestine and a Scott Walker statue
for people to defend.
Fire.
Super easy, super simple.
Um,
Ravifier, do you support repealing Act 10?
Yes.
Universal childcare?
Yes.
Free school meals?
Yes.
Guaranteed pay leave?
Yes.
Abolishing ice?
Yes.
A one-year data center moratorium?
Yes.
Breaking up a big ag?
Yes.
Uh, public grocery stores?
Yes.
Right to repair?
Yes.
Legalizing cannabis?
Yes.
Overturning Citizens United?
Yes.
A Workers' Bill of Rights?
Yes.
A free Palestine?
Yes.
A Scott Walker statue that people can go to that are made by local artists
and and and and craftsmen that people can slap up if they want to
Tentatively yes. Okay. That's I tried to sneak that in there. I was like, oh, we got the momentum like you're saying yes
That everything maybe I could catch you
Yeah, um some serious stuff some jokes, right?
and I
Said this will we're doing a Scott Walker for act 10 why Chinese people slap spin on insult stash is a song dynasty Chancellor
King Hui. Now, RNC stays publishing your Ws. I mean, it's the same with with Michael Penis,
also known as Mike Johnson, showing the wonderful policies the DSA wants to advance. When you
are when you are defined by your policies, when you are defined by your worldview,
it makes it quite difficult for Republicans to turn around and bastardize your positions.
Anytime they talk about your positions, all of a sudden there are going to be people even in your,
even on the Republican side that will listen to what people are saying and go,
So wait a minute, that makes sense. I mean, this is happening right now with Stu Smith.
Stu Smith does this all the time.
DSA is already plotting his 20, 27, 20, 28 power grab. DSA and PC member, Sydney Carlson
White was on tonight's DSA difference call telling chapters to start preparing now for
20, 27 and 20, 28 elections.
DSA thinks in years and decades, not new cycles. DSA is not resting on its laurels. Its national
leadership is already thinking about the next campaign cycle, the next slate of candidates
and how to use national infrastructure to make those candidates more disciplined, more fearless
and more aligned with the DSA workers deserve more program, which I exposed last month.
Like thinking about, can you do when you present yourself in opposition, right?
If you are someone whose job is to like expose what the, what the
democratic socialists of America are working on.
And your expose shows that the goals are the expose that you're, you're conducting
shows of the goals are to highlight the needs of the working class and that's your North Star.
That's what your advocacy is about or maybe that's your Red Star. Okay. You don't come across like
the good guys in this story. Now is the time that your chapter should be thinking about the
to 2027 and 2028 elections.
It's early, but again,
DSA thinks in years and decades, not news cycles.
So if you have a candidate that you think
that you want to run for any office,
now is the time to think about how you want to do that.
Reach out to any DSA committees.org
to reach out to us and begin the process
of figuring out how you're going to run a campaign.
The funny part about this is like,
this is not a secret, right? Not only are a lot of these positions objectively popular,
but when you try to, when you try to present it as though this is like some sort of secret grand
conspiracy. And what the conspiracy is, what the conspiracy is, is objectively popular
policies that have broad popular support across the board, across party lines, then all you're
doing is highlighting. You're not exposing anything. You're highlighting. You're promoting.
you yourself are going to be our next Socialist Office.
The NEC can support your chapter, but what we also can do is provide the national infrastructure
that will allow you to take those bold positions, allow you to be fearless, and of course, allow
you to carry out the goals of DSA's Workers Deserve More program.
So, why does this matter, right?
We can't have socialism alone or in one place.
We are pulling together nationwide because we say no more to socialism in one state.
We say no more to socialism in one city, okay?
We are not trots, however, socialism will happen across the board, okay?
We know that is how we seize power for the working class.
It's not just about winning elections.
It's not just about organizing in your unions.
It's not just about street protest.
not just about tenant organizing. It is a holistic political vision that allows DSA to do all of
the powerful things that it does. Anyway, yeah, there's polling that suggests that every single
one of these policies that's being highlighted on Fox News is objectively popular across the board.
Okay? So, this argument falls flat. Your expose turns into a promotional tool, and they will never
understand this. Okay? They can try to negatively frame it. They can try to frame it as like more
democracy is bad, actually. But I think most people, especially when there are, especially when,
when I'm here as a media platform that can combat against this misinformation, as plenty
of other independent media outlets, TikTokers, people on social media, and also some sympathetic
or more open-minded figures and mainstream outlets as well exist, then we can push back
against this narrative.
Whenever you try to negatively frame every criticism of Israel as anti-Semitism, for
For example, we can push back.
And when we continue doing that over and over again, people end up understanding it.
People end up internalizing it.
So when you actually call someone who is an outspoken critic of Israel, an anti-Semite,
or a terrorist, most people look at that and go, oh, here we go again.
It softens the impact of this otherwise previously very powerful accusation.
Okay?
day, you've done it to yourselves and you will do it to everything else as well.
The more people learn about the platform of the Democratic Socialists of America, the
more you call democracy radical, the more you call calls for healthcare for all, for
housing for all, radical and scary communism, the more people actually think maybe it's
not so scary.
You end up diluting the salience or the significance of this accusation, the boy who cried wolf,
the boy who cried antisemitism, the boy who cried communism.
It doesn't work.
Now, the New York Times wrote an article on this, a big gamble for the left, can socialism
appeal in a swing state.
Francesca Hong, a state legislator running for governor of Wisconsin, wants to prove
that a democratic socialist can win in a battleground.
Some say she would hand the race to Republicans.
Jeff Hanneman was infuriated to learn about a proposal this spring to build a 220 acre
data center on the site of a shuttered paper mill near his house in Wisconsin Rapids.
Worried that the project would pollute the tranquil waters of the nearby Wisconsin River,
Mr. Hanneman, 43, planted a no data center sign in his yard.
And although he's a Republican who voted for President Trump, he decided to support a Democratic
Socialist who was called for a pause in data center construction and is running for governor.
Lo and behold, ladies and gentlemen, when you address the needs of these constituents,
regardless of their party affiliation, regardless of who they have voted for in the past, they
will vote for you.
They will support you because they know you will support them.
Data centers are increasingly becoming the next conversation, the next issue that has
caused a major fissure, a major divergence between our political class and the actual
voters the working class.
It's yet another issue where everyone unconditionally hates it, okay?
They hate it, they don't want these data centers to be built in their backyards.
And yet, the politicians refuse to listen to the needs of the voters, right?
Another 90-10, almost 90-10 issue.
And it's another opportunity for us to seize, because we care about democracy.
We care about fighting for the democratic wishes of the majority.
We care about leading people to the correct side on issues.
If they're not there yet, we care about helping them understand why this would be
beneficial, but in circumstances like Israel, for example, that advocacy has
already taken root. That advocacy paired up with Israel's unlimited violence has
already taken root, and that's precisely the reason why we no longer have to
continue to continue defending these positions because most people understand
it. I will still, of course, continue defending it, but having said that, there
There are a lot of issues that Americans intrinsically understand, and they transcend beyond party
lines.
Flood cameras is another one, mass surveillance in the hands of the state.
AI data centers propping up in their backyards is another one that draws a lot of enmity,
a lot of anger from people regardless of their party affiliation.
And when they see that their Republican representatives are not actually doing anything about it, they
get frustrated.
So they look for alternatives.
They look for someone who will fight for those things.
And it doesn't matter if that person calls themselves a democratic socialist.
That's it.
Address people's needs, fight for them, and they will vote for you.
We just need to publicize Francesca's anti-data center and left economic policies in a few
slogan state why the people can identify her campaign but I haven't seen her doing that.
The only literature I got from her once was wordy and best for people who already knew and agreed with her.
Yeah, look, not all campaigns are designed with the same efficiency in mind. I think
Francesca is a wonderful candidate and I think her campaign has done a great job so far. She's
obviously the most popular figure in the Democratic primaries that are coming up in August.
Right?
We just got to make sure that people understand where she is on these issues.
And we got to hammer it over and over again.
We got to put her in front of as many people as possible.
possible.
I really don't care about the labels said Mr. Hanaman, who planted a Francesca Hong
for Governor Yard sign next to the other one.
If she was voted into office, she could do a lot of good things for our state.
The progressive movement is surging this election cycle as liberal voters, furious with democratic
establishment, they view as old, tepid, and beholden of the corporate interests, have
have ousted incumbents in particular socialism, a term politicians once strained to distance
themselves from, has surged in popularity on the left as candidates with that label
have won House primaries in New York, Denver, and Philadelphia.
Wisconsin, which Trump won in 2024, presents a riskier gamble of Ms. Hong, a 37-year-old
Democratic state representative and former restaurant owner, beat several other leading
candidates for a party's nomination. She will face a difficult general election contest
against the Republican. I disagree.
I disagree. I think for our folks, for the Democratic Socialists, I think the real challenge
is getting out of the primaries. I think general is actually easier. The reason why I say that
is because, well, one, Trump won this state with the narrowest of margins. That's number
one.
Wisconsin is becoming increasingly more blue. That's number two. And this is a general
blue wave midterm season, okay? So all of those factors are already on the side of Francesca
Hong. But beyond that, what matters most in my opinion, okay, what matters most in this
circumstance is the policies, okay? This will be a real test to show as many people as possible,
regardless of the outside expenditures, that when you have a left populist message that is clearly
identified, easily defined, that you have policies to define yourself by, your opposition
can't reach to the same old nonsensical positions to say, oh, you're crazy.
Okay. You're crazy. Oh, you're pro trans, you're trans. She wants the transgender,
the transgender is like, none of that shit matters. If one side is saying, I want to
give you healthcare, I want to give you better workplace conditions, I want to go back on act 10.
Okay, I want collective bargaining agreements to work for the labor for the public sector employees in this country and
Specifically in this state. I
Want to fight for you
I want to shut down these data centers that are propping up in your backyard
And I want a moratorium and if we're gonna fucking build these data centers
We're gonna have a say in that process and we're gonna actually see
the profits that are generated from these data centers, and we need a moratorium.
When you say things like that, when you define yourself, when you define your platform, yourself,
your opposition looks silly, your opposition looks childish, your opposition, the Republicans
look ridiculous, okay?
We have to have a more adult politics in this country and democratic socialism represents
that adult politics.
It's totally, this kind of politics totally revolves around self-interest.
That's what politics is supposed to revolve around.
We have forgotten that fundamental principle of democracy.
For far too long, people have fought these ridiculous battles oftentimes presented by
the Republicans.
We fight our own battles on our own terms.
We fight for the working class.
We fight for their needs and their interests, first and foremost.
And we are unafraid to show our moral conviction.
This will make it far easier for democratic socialists to win, okay?
They are certain that Republicans will weaponize Ms. Hong's more controversial statements,
including old social media posts calling for the abolition of the police.
tax could hand the governor's office to Republicans in imperiled democratic efforts to flip the state
legislature. This is not a year to test the democratic socialist, said Joe Winicky,
a former state chairman of the Democratic Party. This is in New York. Now that's really funny.
You want to know why that's funny?
Because they say that every year. This is not the year to test democratic socialists. This is not
the year to entertain Medicare for all. No, it is the year. And it was the year 10 years ago as well.
it was the it was the same exact conditions deteriorating material conditions for the American working class both in Wisconsin and everywhere else
The idea that like there will be a perfectly appropriate year to test these ideas is fucking ridiculous. They're not even trying
They're not even trying to do a good job of of opposing these positions because deep down inside. They understand
That if you were to come out and say this is not a year to fucking stand against data AI
AI data centers
This is not a year to to stand for Medicare for all people would look at you and go you're a fucking goon
You're a goddamn goon
Ms. Hong's supporters insist that she is viable in a general election to argue that
growing frustration over data centers and rising prices are causing such populist aims
as free healthcare and a wealth tax to resonate with both parties.
The bigger challenge is conditioning voters not to be alarmed by the word socialism, they
said.
Progressive policies when listed in a vacuum are independently popular, said William Walter,
executive director of our Wisconsin revolution, the state version of our
revolution, the left wing organization started by Senator Bernie Sanders. But
when they're tied back to the idea of socialism that both were triggered, word
turns off voters. You missed the capture of the photo? Yeah, I already I already
covered it. Jeff Hanneman, a Republican and voter for President Trump, decided to
cast his vote in the governor's race for Ms. Hong in part because she wants a
pause on data center construction.
Selling socialism in Trump country, Ms. Hong's socialist ideology is not the only quality
that makes her an unconventional candidate, soft-spoken yet foul-mouthed that she dresses
casually on the trail, and wears friendship bracelets.
She proudly displays the books in six tattoo on her cap, or references to the Milwaukee
Books 2021 NBA Championship.
Child of Korean immigrants, Ms. Hong dropped out of college to work in restaurants in Madison,
climbing the ladder.
From dishwasher to executive chef in 2016, she opened her own restaurant, Morris Ramen,
which closed in 2024 because of economic challenges.
She continues to work as a chef and a bartender while working, while running her campaign.
Ms. Hong's working class origins and economic struggles are central to her candidacy,
which she frames a fight between everyday Americans and the money to lead,
which is literally the case. She is of the working class. She understands the needs of
the working class and she will fight for the working class. It's that simple, right?
And when you bring in unbelievably wealthy people who've gone to the best law schools
who are far removed from the needs of the working class or the experience of the working
class, right?
And you turn around and you match them up, the Republicans are gonna look out of touch.
Donald Trump was able to channel the frustrations of the working class, and channel it by way
of frustration towards elites and elite institutions, despite the fact that he was a silver spooned
billionaire, right?
He was able to do that, he was able to do that to success over and over again.
And if there's an appetite for anti-establishment champions, the association of democratic socialism
actually kind of removes you from the association of democratic elite, liberal elite.
That's a good thing in a place like Wisconsin, right?
She was sued in May over nearly $30,000 in credit card debt, which she has since paid
off.
month that she was disappointed debt is portrayed as a moral failing, especially when people
can't afford the basics of daily life.
Ms. Hong's message and online fluency have appealed to young people and have sprung her
into the top tier of candidates, though she expects to trail her rivals and campaign finance
reports due out later this month.
Ms. Hong will be the first Democratic Socialist governor in U.S. history and sometimes draws
comparisons is Armand Dany, Democratic Socialist Mayor in New York City, who shocked the establishment
with his victory last year. But Mr. Armand Dany did not need to convert Trump's supporters in
deeply liberal New York. Ms. Hong, in contrast, has crisscrossed Wisconsin's Rolling Hills and
open plains, open to steer conservative factory workers, dairy farmers, and cranberry growers
towards her ideas. Last week, she attended Muskie Fest, a celebration honoring local
fishing tradition in rural Hayward, where revelers crowned the Little Miss Muskie Queen.
Muskie is a nickname for Muskellunge, a freshwater fish.
Ms. Hong struggled conversation with Robert Olson, who sported a Trump 2028 hat.
And they found common ground on issues including mental health services
and teacher salaries.
I feel like I'm talking to my people, she exclaimed.
When Mr. Olson 74 made light of transgender people,
Ms. Hong stared at the ground and smiled slightly before pivoting to safer topics.
After she walked away, Mr. Olson seemed impressed.
He swore he could consider voting for her,
even after learning about her political leanings. She's got her mind on the issues,
he said, and she never said what party she's with, which to me, isn't that important.
Donald Trump broke this partisan system. He broke it with populism.
He applied right-wing populism, and at times lied about his left-wing populist positions as well.
Well, right? He railed against corporate ad spend. He railed against these lobbyist-backed
campaigns. He presented himself as an anti-establishment figure. And a lot of people listened to it.
A lot of people believed it. Now, I don't believe it. And I've said over and over again, it's
fucking bullshit, right? Like Donald Trump is lying. But that doesn't change the reality
that he conditioned his cult really into demanding these sorts of changes.
And if he actually doesn't deliver the changes that he conditioned his fan base to demand,
then presenting someone who will is a tremendous opportunity.
The Republicans for far too long were conditioned against communism, conditioned against demanding
more government services, right?
They were taught to hate this stuff.
Donald Trump said he would preserve many of these government initiatives when he was
running for office.
People voted for it.
People were excited to vote for it.
People who called themselves Republicans were excited to vote for it, right?
And then he violated the trust of his fan base, and now of course, because it's a cult,
many of them don't see it, but that appetite for left populism still remains.
This is why I have tremendous confidence in Francesca Hahn.
It's the same principle behind Donald Trump's isolationism.
He lied about it, but it doesn't matter.
promoted that concept just because his cult is perhaps maybe a little too
stupid to recognize they were lied to doesn't change the reality that they
voted for it they voted for it and they'll vote again for it and it doesn't
even matter what form it takes for in Cheska Hong is sincere man go phonics
Zzzzz z sorry I'll increase the intensity of the entertainments for you. Ok, eye is going to get groomed.
Looking really plastic that the fuck does that mean?
Anyways that's the fish. Muskie.
So, yeah, her takes on data centers, look, Marissa Johnson, the opposition to data centers
so strong in Wisconsin, she heard Democrats and Republicans talking about voting for Miss
Hong. Doug Cain, 71, said he was a repugnant favorite data center regulation would consider
voting for a Democrat with one condition as long as they're not a socialist, he said.
Still, electing a left-wing candidate in swing state may not be so far-fetched. The progressive
movement traces its origins to the late 19th century, where Milwaukee elected a succession
of sewer socialist mayors. So named for their focus on public works such as sanitation systems,
More recently, the state has lived up to its battleground status by ping-ponging between
hard-corked conservatives, including Senator Ron Johnson and former Governor Scott Walker,
and staunch liberals such as Senator Tammy Baldwin.
This year, Democrats hope to build on the tenure of Governor Tony Evers, who is retiring,
but Ms. Hong is not graduated to be the left-standard bearer at a forum in Madison hosted by Labor
Union.
Attendees said they were torn between Ms. Hong and several others in the six-person
field, including, say Senator Kelderoy's Ms. Barnes.
Barnes and Ms Rodriguez. Some Republicans say they're hoping for a matchup with Ms Hong.
People in both parties would say that's our best case scenario. Brian shimming,
the Wisconsin GOP chairman said, good, let them underestimate us. Good.
Do you understand? It's good. Let them underestimate us every single time.
We've shown up every single time and we've won every single time and we'll continue that as well
Okay
Not musky that was a bluegill, please Google an actual musky and be amazed, okay
They was somebody who's going to win at the end of the day. Ms. Rodriguez, former ERR nurse said,
running a safe democratic jurisdiction is one thing, but people are actually showing up and
making a case where people might be a little bit more hesitant. That's a completely different story,
said Mr. Barnes, who ran unsuccessfully for Senate in 2022. Ms. Hong's answer to such
arguments is to muse that in some ways, she has more in common with the working class Trump
supporters at Muskie Fest than with the Democratic establishment. I have the advantage of not
being a career politician, she said. The people I feel like I relate to, even if there's cultural
differences, political differences are the folks I talk to today. Yep. I mean, even the very fact
that they are showcasing this. The very fact that they're offering, the very fact that they're
offering this as like a viable alternative is good. It shows that things are changing.
They're changing to such a degree that even the New York Times, even the New York Times
is now showing neutral coverage instead of doing what they've done in the past, which
is to say, this will never work, this is a failure, you are going to lose this sweet
state to the Republicans permanently by running a socialist.
That's what they did with Bernie in 2016.
That's what they did with Bernie in 2020.
That's what they had done so for the longest time.
Okay.
Jamie Harrison quotes reading May lot.
I'm a proud Democrat, right? The things that we have accomplished as a party are the things that are on the basis of our values of fighting for working families.
I sincerely believe that the big tent that we have, the diversity and the thought and
the ideas that we have is where we find our strength.
The debates that we are going to engage in, the conversations that we're going to have
about the solutions that we can unite on.
Why do you never talk about socialism?
Huh?
My favorite liberal Zionist supporter on Holocaust Denier Collab, please ask him about Illuminati
or the Holocaust, were any of the Democrats you've had on conferences responsible for war crimes?
Oh, this is a rage bait account. Hey, Chatters, do you see this candidate that just defeated a 30-year
incumbent? You know, she's in favor of an arms embargo to Israel, right? How many people have
you guys elected into Congress that are in favor openly and ran openly on an arms embargo to Israel?
Because I know, I know you'll change, you'll change the dynamics soon, you'll change the
goalposts, you'll shift them soon.
Because that was something that I saw on my timeline.
That was something that I saw on my timeline from a lot of bad empanada fans, empanada
fans who were like, oh, if you actually want to solve these problems, like how many of
them are actually demanding arms embargo on Israel, right?
Because they constantly go back to AOC's position and they say, oh, AOC's not going
And far enough, virtually every single candidate that I've pushed for, every single candidate
that I've pushed for that is one, Chris Rabb, Adam Hamaoui, Mela Kiros, Daria Liza, Claire
Valdez, every single one of them have pushed for an arms embargo against Israel.
Did you know that?
No, you didn't, because you think you're above the American electoral politics.
you think you're operating on a higher frequency, okay?
And that's precisely the reason why you have found yourself duped by online drama, okay?
If you were at least paying attention to what's actually going on, you would have recognized
that there are multiple candidates that have successfully run on an arms embargo to Israel,
okay?
multiple
I'm the director of our Wisconsin Revolution that was my quote not how I wanted to sound but got the point across you did great
Anyway, what's funny about it is, is Jamie Harrison is now quote retweeting this and thanking
Maylock heroes.
That's awesome.
Good.
They should come to our side.
Good.
And eventually they will, just as I always say, you know, look, one day everyone will
have been against this is not only just the name of this book, but also a principle that we have seen
a reality that we have watched unfold with Israel.
One day, they're all going to say they were always for it. Okay? They'll be like, of course.
Of course, we're in favor of socialism. What do you mean? Of course, we're in favor of Medicare
for all. Of course, we're in favor of first social democracy and then maybe even more of an expansion
on workers' autonomy and workers' rights in the workplace. It just takes time.
You'll never guess what Tech Crews talking about on the 4th of July. Today's is 47th
anniversary of the daring and tebe raid. I was only five at the time but I remember
being inspired by the amazing courage of the IDF team that rescued hostages and killed
I thought that's a very Texan foreign policy. Oh my god
After your tweet they asked for examples of candidates that call for sanctions and embargoes and when I provided like 10 people
They said well, why aren't all of them calling for it? You literally can't satisfy this shit. Yeah, no, they're they're
They're not looking for solutions, man. They're not they're just angry and it's understandable to be angry
I understand your anger. I'm angry too. The problem is
You can't let your anger be an impediment to change you can't let your anger be an impediment to progress
That's from 2023 tech cruise been up on the up to is a
Pro is real shit for years by the way that tech cruise tweet on July 4th is from 2023 just so you guys know
But I'm sure all these working-class women in Michigan loves an Oxford Columbia dude
laughing at his woman opponent as too dumb, really know how to attract those working-class
voters as near-attending, calling Abdul a sexist, rerouting the Bernie Bro meta once
again in the big 226 the holy year of our lord probably not going to work but it
is also incredible that it's like literally an APAC holy fuck that's
huge everything about it was pretty unbelievable 51.5 inch musky caught in
west bay okay you were right you were right that is actually worthwhile to
look at that is a big one holy fuck
People are way more assaulted by Democrat at least trying to manipulate them with his
woke 1.0 rhetoric than they are by Abdul Kong Stevens dumb and if Nira doesn't get this
after 10 years of failing she's even dumber than Stevens, yes.
Those things are under your feet when you swim, yeah, that's terrifying.
I will not be diving in.
Yeah. Speaking of a woke 1.0, uh, the people that are like cynically trying to deploy identity politics and being fucking annoying, Shannon Watts hates Arabs and Muslims so much.
She continues to repost someone that's on an active case for, uh, on an active court case for revenge porn and CSAM just doesn't remember.
Uh, just remember, she doesn't actually give a fuck about children, right?
Abortion doesn't matter. Gay rights don't matter. Gones don't matter. Only Palestine matters now. Yep.
Okay, that's what it is. And she's like reposting a weird psychopathic sex cult leader. And
his rallying cry to mass harass journalists. That's the tweet that she retweeted. Okay.
Insane. Shannon was just openly endorsing mass organized harassment of journalists
crazy. They also brigated the community notes, sharing porn without the consent of the victim
is colloquially considered revenge porn. Nobody gives a fuck if he did it maliciously or it's
just because he's an amoral pervert trying to fuck another teenager. I don't know what this is, but
um, I guess they're trying to like, uh, spam community notes, uh, everywhere. I know they
love brigating. If you click the link provided by the community note and open the complaint,
the case is entirely about revenge porn. The case is not a deal with a revenge porn, a
the court documents are publicly available for all to see.
So they got that context community note and then they looked at the community note.
And it says, Plaintiff Jane Doe, by and through her undersigned counsel and very
respectfully states alleges and praises, follows, hold the defending accountable
for his unauthorized, unintentional and unlawful discourse and dissemination of
intimate images and sexually explicit videos of the plaintiff, thereby causing
of extreme emotional and physical distress. Literally the community note that they posted
disproves the community context, the community note context that we're trying to fucking
put forward. That's all these guys do. Check out this British nonsense community note history.
Lomifail, completely brainbroken destiny fan.
Hassan is not a fan of Hunter Biden going as far as calling his father an awful
monster and prostate cancer doesn't change that.
Even calling him incorrect, incorrectly and immoral genocide there.
He's just again, this is, this is destiny's Pete Wiggen.
Uh, another, another one of destiny is like loyal soldiers, okay?
They spend every, they spend every waking moment, tirelessly
brigading at the behest of their fucking, uh, uh, cult leader.
It is so weird.
But that's all they got.
And that's all other reactionaries have at their disposal, lying.
But sometimes they do something that I find really funny, which is describe the current
existing conditions under capitalism and then claim this is what socialism would look like.
And of course, one of my favorite figures that did that recently is Newt Gingrich.
Let's take a look at what Newt had to say about the party of hope and change is now
the party of socialism and suffering.
Well, the finding is the Mondomries of the world, they have seized the world.
down a 10 or 15 percent, but there are an extremely democratic districts, or they're
up against really weak opponents.
The fact is, when we get to, I'll give you an example.
I sent out today an X in on social media.
Because Montgomery think that Madison Square Garden should be at 78 degrees during the
wedding this weekend.
No, I can't tell you, the thing about, you think the 78 degree air conditioning thing
is so stupid because it exists in every state, it exists in Texas, it has always existed
in New York, Michael Bloomberg asked for it too, every single mayor since Rudolph Giuliani
has demanded this, it exists in Georgia, it exists everywhere, okay, first of all it's
just a suggestion to reduce congestion on the electricity grid at times when
people need it most or places like hospitals. We can have a conversation
about why the American energy grid is not capable of providing sufficient
energy to every single place in peak consumption periods, but that's a
conversation for a separate day. But if you're presenting this as like something
unique to communism or socialism, or that this is not a mere suggestion, but instead
something that is punishable by law, you're a fucking liar, okay?
Oh, they're doing hostile takeover style communism.
It's fucking bullshit.
I don't want to stand there sweating.
And no, nor should she.
But, but here's the big lesson.
takes power from you. They take care of the powerful. They take care of the guys with connections
and they rip off the rest of us. Doug, you just described your position
in the current existing system. You just described capitalism and what happens right now to an
audience of people that can kind of realize that too. Like this is, as conditions worsen,
as conditions worsen, this becomes undeniable for average folks, okay, for working class
folks. They, even if they're like brainbroken from right wing propaganda, reactionary propaganda,
anti-communist propaganda, red scare propaganda, ultimately, they hear you say that and go,
Oh, wait a minute, but that sounds a lot like what's going on right now.
The fuck.
Hold on now.
Hold on now, partner.
To my dummy say their policies walk them from creating enough
electricity to have normal American level of air conditioning where you
get to pick what you want to have in your house. So instead, they're going to try to impose
across all of New York City a 70 80 degree uniform temperature on the left. You're powerful.
You're famous. And then of course, there's an exception.
Yeah. Um, oh yeah, for sure. Imagine a system like that, dude. This says Prem talker, which
of course, is the current system. There's also Jessica Tarlove cooking on, you know,
Fox five.
I assume that you want to broaden this segment to also criticize Greg Abbott and like Brandon
Gille, the Texas congressman who comes out and he wants to dunk on mom Donnie say, oh,
you big socialist mess or communist mess, whatever. And Texas advisory, when it gets
hot, the public utility commission of Texas and the department of energy recommends thermostats
be set to 78 degrees. Greg Abbott says, could you conserve some energy? And they've had
problems with our grad, remember? Ted Cruz takes off for Cancun when the grid goes down.
So this is just good policy, in fact. And I'm pretty jealous. I would take 78 degrees
right now over this 103 or 150 or whatever is going on.
So I don't know, check what's going on in your own state before you go after someone
else because someone is going to bring it up on television.
Um, I don't know. I assume that you want to broaden the segment to all. Yep.
Fantastic.
Department of Energy deleted their 78 degree articles of smear mom Donnie. Oh my god. That's so funny.
Oh my God. By the way, in communist Texas, you also get asked to say your AC to 78 in
communist Florida. Same thing. Communist California, communist California, communist Arizona, Ohio,
Missouri, Maryland, North Carolina, turns out 78 was actually dictated by the department
of energy is what you would know.
If you went to the department of energy article that existed until this news cycle, they deleted
The Department of Energy appears to have deleted its thermostat level recommendations to avoid people noticing that their generic
recommendations was set to indoor temperatures at the same level which Zoram was asked New Yorkers to maintain during a grid
stressing heatwave
RUVA says our society cannot survive this. RUVA is just drum-up lies and their well-funded messaging ecosystem amplifies those lies
Leading to things like this. This makes it impossible to respond to any crisis will get people killed during acute
emergencies
It's fucking insane
What is this new DSA or edit?
Sam, which is a common analysis Vanessa nicole with some counterfeits, but now I'm counting this
I'm a jumbo my account and I said fuck I'm down in this you say with my boom they taste like Kool-Aid for the analyst
They're all laughing by your Westie girl with my base stuff with a pussy girl. What you say they don't my taste
Plus I can't wait to pay me. Won't you let me do the extra dude Sam Forsack has so much aura is crazy
Like he is his campaign. I feel like is just straight up powered by him having a six-pack and aura
Like I get it. He's a union leader. Some of his policies are like
Maybe a little bit more moderate than I would like but it is crazy
Okay
Sam four stack more like Sam four play. Okay
It's crazy he has more aura than platinum there I said it no he has unbelievable amounts of aura
It's a bro. He's a smoke jumper. It's over. Just give him the fucking position
Give him the goddamn position, dude
If I quit your beam, I still have my savings phone
If I quit this season, I still beat the greatest funk
My left stroke just went viral
Right sh-
Yeah, he's hot, he has a dangerous job that saves lives is crazy
Yeah, I mean dude, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
What are we doing?
What are we fucking doing here?
What the hell are we doing here, dude?
It was against another win with Sam Forsyth winning a Montana's first district.
Bro has come gutters, dude.
What are we doing?
What are we fucking doing?
We got Congress person with come gutters.
Hello.
He mugging you, bro.
Yeah, of course he's mugging me.
What do you mean?
He's a smoke jumper.
I'm a fucking dildo with a microphone.
All I do is chirp, chirp, chirp, that motherfucker's saving lives, brother.
Hello?
Yeah, no shit, he's fucking mogging me.
I dream of a society of the future that hangs me as a reactionary, and I dream of a society
of the future where every candidate mogs me, okay?
Every candidate.
I stand next to candidates and I look like an ugly creature where everyone goes,
you who brought the cave troll who brought the cave troll to the campaign
trail. Get him out of here.
Anyway, huh, now we'll start off.
We got a lot of other stuff to cover here.
I'm not going to do the Australian reactionaries.
We got Mamdani's speech that made the conservatives mauled pretty hard, okay?
But let's start off with Amon Animations.
Trigger warning, Amon Animations is going to terrify you.
It's all rumor.
What are you doing if you want to know what people are actually going to do?
We got people.
My life is ruined!
The life I'm going to risk to see how wrong my life is!
I'm sick of it! I don't want to listen to people telling me about my conspiracy theories!
They don't know what it's like to be me!
What if...
My life is ruined, knowledge!
I'm gonna come!
and welcome to tonight's episode of Loomer Unleashed.
been talking a lot about the islamification of our country. You're going to see dozens of Muslim
candidates filed to run for office and also think that they too will be the next door on Mamdami.
There's nothing peaceful about what Mamdami is doing. In fact, he is promoting Sharia law and he
is advancing the cause of Islam to destabilize our country so that the Muslim Brotherhood
continue to strangle our country from within until we are living under an Islamic caliphate.
None of this is peaceful. From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free is a call for the
extinction and the absolute annihilation of Jewish people. Joining me now to discuss the
Islamification of America, Florida, United States Congressman Randy Fine. Who would have thought
25 years after 9-11? We would have a Muslim leader in New York saying, I want to ban your dogs.
I'm kind of shocked that this many people are okay with the idea of our dogs being kidnapped
by people in key jobs in burgos going around acting like the Sharia police trying to kill our dogs
because they're so wrong. I wouldn't let a migrant kiss my face like this, but
oh that my dog put her tongue in my mouth.
Israel's enemies are our enemies. Does that mean I think we should put the interest of America
over Israel, no. You know, these people are in the streets of America calling for
death to Israel.
I mean, like, why wouldn't you be afraid of that shit? You see this hat doesn't say
make America a Muslim. Can I say something? Laura Loomer IRL is such a terrifying figure
figure that Amon Animations has ironically not been able to make her look scarier than
she does in real life. This is the first time. This is the first time Amon Animations has
actually made the real life figure perhaps less scary than how she looks in real life.
Again, it says make America great again. We're gonna make America great again by keeping America American
Okay, we're not gonna import a bunch of people don't
Know
We do these people listen to themselves when they talk do they realize how crazy they sound when they talk dogs
It tastes like meat and quite frankly who cares if illegal aliens are fed to
alligators. So anyway my fiance and I are like sitting on the couch making out and
the dog just comes over and she tries to stick her tongue in between us. It's the
cutest little thing. Pretty much an abomination that these people have not
been executed. I personally would buy trim it and I'm personally a fan of the
torture that was carried out at my town in one day. You want a globalized C&T
You're gonna vote for Zora, I'm not f-ing kidding.
Walk right into the gas chamber, why don't you?
I can put a photo of you and Trump together.
I think the issue is, when people see you on TV with him, and in Mar-Lago, and golf courses, whatever,
he does-
Are these real things she said, or is it AI that she actually tongue her dog?
Yes, it's not AI.
Dude, what? No.
AIM on animations always takes real sound bites.
I just get really excited and happy and so do you and they see that they go God this
is an item I know you guys aren't having sex I know that's true my point is that you can
just see why people would say that I mean why do you think Trump brightens up he doesn't
do that but even most women why is he so excited when he's around you well I actually don't
see why people would say that because he is a very friendly person no I know I think
I'm not saying that's a case. I'm just saying, I watch Body Language. He does particularly like you.
It's just because he knows me so long, I think.
Maybe, just maybe, it's not such a great idea to allow for Muslims to be involved in our political process in America.
Maybe. But I guess, I don't know, maybe we need another 9-11.
Another banger from Aemon Animations.
Is this game on Steam?
No, unfortunately this game is real life.
And the rewards are your rights.
A Benjamin and Yahoo!
The war is never over!
Oh, here we go!
Nice!
missed it? What, when I was peeing in the beginning is that what you're...
Oh, you missed what happened in the beginning?
This morning more than 180...
Oh, Zoran at the Oval Office.
Oh!
I
Couldn't say one fucking goal getting drawn normal looking is the most respect a monk and give someone and he's only done it
To like three people ever yeah, he hasn't even done it to me. He makes me have a tiny head
He has also made me a solid snake though in the past so that's cool
Yeah, speaking of Zoran they're freaking out on his speech. I know I know he delivered a speech
And team
We're gonna cover it. We're gonna cover the speech. Don't worry
Common millennials rise up among millennials those favorable towards capitals and 50% socials and 40% communism 29%. Oh
My god, we take those we take those we fucking take those
Gen Z's even better look at this
this. Gen Z rates socialism of both capitalism while communism nearly matches capitalism.
Oh my god! Favorable towards socialism is 53%. Favorable towards communism is 39%!
Oh my god. Oh my god.
The future is bright. The future looks bright. In the words of Patrick Bette David, the future looks bright.
I'm a numbers guy, and I really like the number. I really like the number
Anyway
All right, let's get back to this real world now extreme heat grips more than a hundred and eighty
Million Americans extreme heat advisory in in the East Coast all around the country as a matter of fact
It's ruining the 4th of July plans that many have including
ruining the country's birthday today okay or tomorrow. They have nothing. What are
we doing here man? GOP launches a secret weapon on lives, goth baddies. Oh god. Oh
I don't even want to get into this shit. More than 180 million Americans are on
alert as our life-threatening heat dome is expected to last through the holiday
weekend. Thursday, New York
City seeing its first 100
degree day in nearly 14
years. The heat index making
it feel like a scorching
106 degrees. The conditions
putting strain on the power
grid. Outages reported as
con Edison reduced the
voltage to keep up with
demand. Governor Huckle asking
residents to conserve
electricity. Washington D. C. Temperatures also reaching triple digits. The U. S. Capitol
Police cancelling the public viewing rehearsals for a Capitol fourth concert. The show now
in jeopardy due to the heat in Pennsylvania. More than 100 people were treated after being
overcome by the heat at this historic train show across America. E. R. Visits spiking.
The CDC reporting a 36 times increase in heat related illness reports in the Midwest. This
week. When they're outside, they forget to be water, take electrolytes, stuff like that,
anything, because I'm not thirsty. Hey, I'm okay, but that's far from the course. And careful at
outdoor events. The Phillies taking extra steps to keep fans cool, distributing bottled water
and setting up misting stations. Had I known the forecast when we bought the tickets, I probably
would not be here, but I'm gonna just sweat and have a great time. But please be careful. So many
many people have been impacted in this heat.
I don't want it to be you.
So let's look at these morning temperatures
because you and I are watching this happen live.
Is this New York City's warmest morning on record?
Well, 84 would tie it and right.
You gave EU shift for not having AC,
but you guys can't even put yours on.
Dog, it's just a suggestion.
It doesn't mean that people are not gonna use their AC.
Of course, people are gonna use their AC.
What are you talking about?
Now we're at 85.
Remember, 84 is the normal high temperature here.
So let's look at what the high temperatures will feel like
as we go through the day.
This is crazy, 109.
This is our hot spot, Philly, 111.
Baltimore, 111.
Let's get into the middle of the country
where it was supposed to break a little bit.
I did hear Memphis to Huntsville slightly.
Huntsville still at 107.
But 111 in Paducah, 109 in Nashville.
New Jersey had a heat index level.
They reported of 130 degrees.
If you're out in 130 degrees for very long at all,
your body just starts to shut down.
Let's move over to the wall,
I want to show you the next couple of days going into Monday and for many of us Sunday into Monday is the breaking point
But for some people it doesn't Raleigh. Look at you Savannah as well. You're still in the hot spot in the middle of the country
We're doing well until we get to Nashville and also Jacksonville. Well, I can confirm the heat is absolutely a major factor here
We are just shy of a hundred degrees right now with the heat
Oh my god. The largest US power grid PJM city can no longer meet expected energy demands
and will implement a plan to reduce electricity use across 67 million customer service area
in Midland and Southern Washington DC. Okay. Maybe I'm a conspiracy theorist. Well, we've
had unprecedented heat in summers in the past. Sometimes it does lead to rolling blackouts,
but there is something new this time. This heat season, this heatwave season, we have
something else that's maybe drawing a lot of power.
That's right, fucking data centers. Shut them off. Why are we shutting off the electricity
grid for regular ass civilians? Shut the motherfucking data centers off right now. No more fucking
No more chat GPT. We're not chat GPT'ing it. We're not grokking it
What are we doing man
They're going to take away your ACs and turn America into Europe so datacenters can run.
Oh dude, Americans will revolt.
You'll have a second American revolution straight up.
Remember Americans actually care quite a bit about their comforts and this is one of them
and it goes beyond a comfort at that point.
It becomes life-saving.
It feels well over.
Just moments ago they pushed everybody to the exits off the side of the National Mall.
You can see one of the exits here and I know we've been talking about crowd size all week
This has been the busiest day of the fair.
We saw a few thousand people out here,
especially as the flybys were going on.
But now as you can see that they're pushing everybody out.
God bless you guys.
You know, get over okay.
Yeah, let me help you.
Just be careful.
Good to the exit.
They've also put up signs right here.
Sandra, the show, what's going on?
They say the event postponed.
We will reopen at 5 p.m.
Now, it's always possible that they could extend those closures
right here.
The heat is going to continue well through.
Yeah, because at 5 p.m.
it's still going to be 101 degrees in Washington, DC.
Yeah. And before people complain about, before people complain about Zoram Mhamdani being,
um, you know, a bad mayor and doesn't know what he's talking about, let's take a look at what
Zoram Mhamdani was saying five fucking years ago. Why New York meets public power? Did you ever
wonder why New York state only gets 5% of its energy from wind and solar? It's because of one
word. Capitalism.
I'm Zohran Mondani, Assemblymember for District 36, and a proud Ecosocialist. Today, I want
to talk to you about utilities, and why they suck.
In the early 1900s, J.P. Morgan merged all of the electricity and gas companies in New
York into one company called Consolidated Gas. This for-profit monopoly spent millions
of dollars buying public officials, extorting the city of New York, and charging New Yorkers
a 300% markup on electricity.
And in the past 100 years, not much has changed.
Consolidated gas is now consolidated at its core, ConEd.
And across New York state,
for-profit monopolies continue to control our power.
They charge us some of the highest rates in the country,
which can triple at random.
And they spend millions of dollars lobbying elected officials
to maintain their stranglehold on our power system.
Not only that, ConEd and other utilities lobby
against the development of renewables because it's more profitable for them to keep using
fossil fuels.
We need an energy system that treats electricity as it is, a public good, and prioritizes people
and the planet over the profits of Wall Street investors.
Across the state, New Yorkers are fighting for public power, a publicly owned, democratically
controlled energy system that will create 35,000 jobs and end the private utility system.
check out the link to write your legislator and join the fight
you can also sign up to organize with us to tell connet and other utilities
that we're going to build the energy system we want without them
because it's time for us to take our power back
yep
yep
so before people complain about zara not knowing what he's fucking talking
about
he's been talking about this shit
also here's some additional information from more perfect union data
centers are the leading cause of a seventy six percent
increase in the cost of electricity
for america's largest power grid
just the first
three months of this year this is according to
the communists over at bloomberg
okay
famous uh... famous communism
understanders and enjoyers over at bloomberg
writing this commie hit piece nonsense
the thirty state grid
managed by pjm surf six seven million in cost of spike this year this time
last year the cost of electricity on this grid was seventy seven point seventy
eight per megawatt hour now that cost almost double to one hundred and thirty
six
uh... point
fifty three per megawatt hour
bloomberg attributes
that skyrocketing cost to the booming demand for artificial intelligence data
centers which require vast amounts of energy
and are putting a significant burden on america's aging power grids
okay
cutie is calling pick up cutie's call
okay
The one time our interest why do you ignore my call?
What's up? I was in the middle of a rant about data centers and how much power they suck up from the energy grid and now the energy grid is a state of imminent collapse right now specifically PJM that just said we're going to do massive blackouts for 67 million people.
Okay, but Taylor Swift's wedding.
Oh, yeah, yeah, I don't know how much energy Taylor Swift's wedding is going to suck up from the energy grid
But yeah, Madison Square Garden Taylor Swift a lot of people are a lot of people are upset a lot of people are very upset because
Apparently from what I understand and I'm I'm gonna be very careful with my language here because as you know, I'm a Swifty
I love Taylor Swift and she should be allowed to get married every day at Madison Square Garden. Okay
But remember when the New York Knicks were playing and Donald Trump went to Madison Square Garden
And they had to like shut down an entire area around Madison Square Garden how frustrating that was for a lot of people
Yeah, okay, so Taylor Swift for her Madison Square Garden wedding is actually shutting down
Transit for for an even larger area is what I understand
Like specifically
I don't hate her. I love her. I I just said I I want her to get married every day at Madison Square Garden
I'm getting mixed messages. Some are saying it's true. Some are saying it's propaganda
Did you see the White House use the Ares tour intro yesterday on tiktok? I
Did not see that but I know Taylor would hate that because she's always voted Democrat
Yes, and I even replied to it. I said you can't use this song
And he still used it even though I told him no
No.
That's really messed up.
Well, that's probably number one.
Kind of feels like it's an undemocratic system that we have, right?
Don't super understand that, but I do just want to talk to you about Ndani's top 10 Taylor's
web songs.
Oh, okay.
Hold on.
Wait, what the fuck?
Call ended.
She just said, fuck off, idiot.
Hello?
What the fuck?
Did her phone die?
What is happening? Did your phone die? What the fuck happened?
I think I was swiping away to pull up Mdani's top 10 and I hit the end button on it.
Okay, so I have it in front of me as well. We can take a look at it together.
Zara Mdani shares his 12 favorite Taylor Swift songs ahead of her New York wedding.
And people are not believing in this list. They're saying he's fake.
faith. Okay, yeah. What do you think? Zora Mamdani's 12 favorite Taylor Swift songs. What do I think?
He went with only the young love story. I feel like this doesn't match up with Zora
Mamdani's background and his timeline. This doesn't match up at all. And I feel like someone
else put this together. Are you pandering to me? I can't tell. I'm not. I'm just, I'm very knowledgeable
of Taylor Swift's entire discography. And that's what it is. I'm a true Swifty, unlike
Zoran Kwame Mamdani. And I feel like the analysis is just not lining up because especially the
way he, he, uh, lined this up like my tears ricochet at number three, uh, where are the
other sad songs?
You're, you stole that from me in the group chat. I would like to point to that.
No, no way. I didn't even look at the group chat. I guess our interest might have, you
know what it is? It's because it's true. Your analysis is objective and correct. And so
is mine. And I think that's the reason why it's just like syncing up.
Right.
Right, right. I just, I just think number one, I think the most interesting thing is
that he only chose 12 songs. Can we just, can we start there?
Yeah, it's like,
And August Swiftie is 13.
Oh, I didn't even think of that. You're right.
Yeah. And, and only the young, it's a political song. It's a little on the nose, don't you
think?
Yeah. No, I, I, yeah, it's like, okay, we get it. Yeah. We get it. Taylor Swift does
politics and you know that and you do politics. He's trying to be a little bit of a try hard,
for sure. Yeah. And don't you think if he was going to be on the nose and he was going to be
cheesy, then he would have put on Welcome to New York? Yeah, I guess he was. So you're saying he
like delicately crafted it to be on the nose and to be blunt, but then also simultaneously
make it seem like he's actually a real fan by not, by not hamming it up as hard.
Yeah. It feels like he intentionally put some deep cuts in there. Like, like,
okay, I know places is kind of a deep cup. Like,
I think he knows this kind of a deep cut, but then, and my tears ricochet deep cut.
Like we've got some deep cuts in here, but then he just flanks them with like,
you know, the obvious, like he's not gonna put your, you're not gonna be like,
I'm the mayor of New York and it's Taylor Swift.
I'm going to put dress on there, the song that she wrote about having sex with Joe Alwyn.
Come on, Zoran, if that's even your name.
Okay, let's be real, it's not Zoran who put this in there.
You know what I mean?
This is definitely a Swiftie in his office that compiled this, but also probably put
like their genuine favorites.
And some of them actually stepped on landmines like dress.
Well, if he's not a Swiftie, then why did I vote for him is my question.
Well, you're admitting to illegally voting for the mayor of New York as someone who's
not a resident in the city or the state, and you also literally can't travel by plane.
So I know for a fact that you haven't been to New York in years.
Okay.
So you're saying that we shouldn't get him out of office right now?
No, I think we should keep him because here's why I think we should keep him.
As one, I can literally text them or call them at any moment and ask them about adults
doing what?
What do you-
Um, weddings.
No, adult trigger treating, cutie.
This is a fundamental plank of your agenda.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, I forgot.
Yes, she's-
It's a big day.
It's my-
She was most likely to be pro-adult trigger treating, Zoramumdani, okay, so that's number
one.
Number two.
So we can lobby him we can petition him to for this. Okay number two
It is clear that he is pandering to the cutie the cutie and Taylor Swift Swiftie constituency by even putting out
Putting out of this
Dude, we know you don't listen to that that guy's never even thought about killing himself, you know
You don't know that I
I know that. You don't put cruel summer in my tears because you're on the same playlist.
What are you doing? Not that smile. Yeah.
Okay. Well, regardless, it's clear that he is trying to pander to the Swifty constituency,
which means he understands the power of the Swifty's hold, which means that if you got
him out of office, right? Because the Swifty's are an unbelievably powerful constituency that I
will always respect. If you got him out of office, there's no guarantee that the next person
would be a Swiftie or even Swiftie adjacent. Because like Cuomo is the guy who he ran against,
right? And Angel Cuomo.
He killed Jay Schlatt's grandma.
Yeah, and he is not a Swiftie. Like we know he's not a Swiftie.
Whereas Zoran-
Like shake it off or some shit.
Yeah, Zoran demographically is in the possible SWIFTY column by age.
And he's also, as the mayor, letting this billionaire wedding happen in Madison Square Garden.
Ooh, are we mad about that? Like as a non-Swifty, okay, let's take this out. I'm just curious,
political beliefs as a non-Swifty, are we mad about that?
First of all, I am a SWIFTY, so it's hard for me to be morally consistent on this position.
And as I love and respect Taylor Swift, so I don't know what I can say about it, but
I, what I've read, let's just say what I've read from the naysayers is that, yes, they
are definitely, they find this to be a gross display of wealth at a time when there's unprecedented
levels of wealth inequality and that, and that the personal fancy of one billionaire
and a bunch of other unbelievably wealthy and powerful people coming together in Madison
the square guard at a time when, you know, people are suffering. Not me though. I'm not
saying this. Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Is, is, you know, kind of in poor taste is what
some haters have said, not me. Right. Right. Well, I, I've read a hater. She has an ice
cream truck at her wedding apparently. That's cool for all the other super wealthy people.
It's not like she's, you know, handing out free ice cream to New Yorkers, right? Like
No, she's not doing that. But she is letting them stand outside of her wedding.
Yeah, that's kind of nice. Yeah, yeah, that's she donated $26 million.
Yeah, which is about in the same ratio compared to my wealth and her wealth about $26.
dollars. Yeah. No, that's, that's cool. I, I, yeah, that's, I think that's Jeff Pazos did
something similar as well. When he shut down Venice and I think do a leap also did something
similar as well. When she shut down a different part of the, I forget where do a leap. I got
married, but you know, they, that's like kind of like a, you know, Hey, here's the tax.
Like I'm doing something a little crazy. So,
Oh, and I bet this is a good point. I bet she's the AC in the stadium is probably at
78 to comply. I bet. I am willing to bet that that's not the case. I'm gonna go, I'm gonna
be so for real with you. I don't think that that's the case. Interesting. I highly doubt
that the Taylor Swift wedding is not going to be a comfortable 68 the entire time. The
78 degrees AC thing is also a suggestion anyway. I think it's probably gonna be cranked out
the wazoo and, uh, and, and, you know, probably sucking power from the nearest children's
hospital.
Right.
But I would, she could have, she could have gotten married at the children's hospital.
They should just be, they should be grateful.
That's true.
That's true.
She does have enough power to get married at a children's hospital and, and render its
operations useless for the time period.
So this is actually good in comparison to that.
You're absolutely right.
Thank you.
Thank you for pointing that out.
I just wanted your opinion on it. I'm just excited that everyone's on board and everyone's happy. Yes. I'm super I'm I would never
Criticize Taylor Swift's your choice of any for her wedding probably not excessive. Yeah, no, no, definitely not
You're probably kept it low key. Honestly. Yeah. Yeah, no, definitely when I think low key
I think renting out Madison Square Garden and issuing like a city block
travel advisory is what I think when I think of
low key understated much I I'm jealous of of Travis Kelsey who's getting married to Taylor so I wish I was married to her I
Knew that I knew it. All right
Sounds good. Sounds good. Have you can't wait to see photos can we see any I'll send them to you vice versa
Oh, I'll be I'll be sharing. I'll be sharing. Yeah, sounds good. Yeah. All right. Bye. Hey, bye
Do you think she you think she finds my support for Taylor Swift to be insufficient? Am I fucked?
Am I I think I did a good job I
Feel like I've done a good job I
Think she wasn't buying it. No, no, no, she said I she she bought it. I think she bought it
She it seemed like she was
I think I won that QTE. I did not fail the QTE there. I think the Swifties think that
And this is, I'm sufficiently pro, I'm sufficiently pro-swifty and pro-swift.
Set your Twitter account to private.
I'm Israel. Hi. I'm Swiftie. Hi. Zoran is a Swiftie. 12er man. Zoran is practicing
to Kia with the Swifties. What is this? Nikki Glaser, George Stephanopoulos, Aaron
Desnar and Julianne Moore all show their QR codes. They arrive at Taylor Swift and Travis
kills his Madison Square Garden wedding. Wait, so she's getting married on July 3rd,
not July 4th, so today is the day she's getting married. When Kamala Harris's daughter-in-law
I got married downtown they shut down two city blocks so it could be worse
That man made folklore evermore in TTPD what do you need a QR from him for let him in
I genuinely don't understand what like, I will never understand what compelled her to do this at Madison Square Garden
I I don't understand why like they couldn't do it anywhere else
I don't know why they did it in Madison Square Garden in the fucking middle of New York City on July 4th weekend
Am I crazy like I just
I'm in support of it though. I am in support of it. Anyway, let's get back. Let's get back
to the heat wave.
But you can also hear on the loudspeaker right here, they pushed everybody to the exit.
We've seen a number of VIPs, cabinet secretaries. Donald Trump Jr. was out here earlier today.
A lot of people are coming to check it out as we expected. Sandra, this is going to be
the heat of the event itself, but obviously these temperatures were
People are saying for attention, dog, she's Taylor Swift. She could get married in a remote island
that people haven't even heard of before, that they literally found on a fucking uncharted map
from the 18th century and people would know about it and they would hear about it and they would
fucking cover it endlessly. What are you talking about?
She can get married anywhere.
She can run out Versailles. She's a billionaire. Yeah, we've been talking about all week are
dangerous and they wanted to make sure people could seek shelter because as you know on the
all you were just here Sandra there is nowhere to hide from the sun unless you're in those state
pavilions and those are very cramped quarters indeed they kiss the sky and then each other
oh dude this is i mean uh speaking of aura like a lot of people were saying like oh they're
what did this stunt was like stupid whatever is dangerous it's true it was stupid and dangerous
But like honestly, they're fucking hot dude. You're so hot. It's kind of crazy what they did. This was a this was a wild thing to do
But this morning the extreme free climbers who scaled the broadcast antenna of the Empire State Building and unfurled a banner nearly
1500 feet above New York City are grounded leaving court on supervised release
Was it worth it?
Sources tell ABC News, Angelina Nicolau and Ivan Kuznetsov
bought tickets to the Empire State Building Tuesday
and never left, hiding out overnight
at five a.m. the next morning.
Also, Bro's packing a fucking hose under his pants,
which is crazy.
Why do you know how big his dick is?
Are you just speculating off of the big dick maneuvering
that he's doing?
That's not, don't be freaking stupid.
It doesn't matter how fucking famous you are,
that doesn't preclude you from being a narcissist
with attention how on our president comes to mind.
Yeah, I just don't understand why she chose Madison's work garden. I fucking insane
This is say a security camera caught the couple going through a hatch on the 100 second floor observation deck
Hours later prosecutors said the pair exited the 104th floor were a lock on a security door admin
No, a literal hose. Wait, what do you mean?
Broken and scaled the broadcast antenna
You need to stay where you are. You can't be up here.
The climbers are now facing felony charges, including reckless endangerment and criminal
mischief. Their lawyer says they're overcharged.
As far as what I've seen and I'm sure you've all seen, it was a message of love.
But it might not have been an actual engagement. Angelina Nikolaou's father tells ABC News
the couple is already married, calling the proposal a performance.
If you want to get married, they're doing it right there.
Would this be more convenient?
No.
Any plans to the marriage?
Uh, no, no, guys.
Have you picked your day?
New York?
The couple ducked into the subway, pausing on the stairwell for a kiss.
Good kiss!
I got it!
All right, I got it!
They haven't only fans?
Oh my God.
That couple is due back in court toward the end of August.
Prosecutors called them social media influencers who engage in extreme risk-taking.
It is. Yeah, sure is. Sure is. Okay, Aaron, thanks.
I mean, I think it's cool, man. I mean, I don't give a shit. Yeah, they're doing an ad,
they're farming doughnose, whatever. There's a Netflix series about them apparently.
I mean, this is normal stuff. People do stuff like this. I don't know.
Yeah. Ah, the real, the real risk they're taking is getting married. Am I right? Getting,
getting stuck on the old ball and chain.
Tiffany's for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey expected to begin at Madison Square Garden
in a matter of hours. Overnight, the iconic arena lit up in a lavender haze. A silver Chevy
Suburban, similar to one the superstars been spotted in before, pulling in ahead of what was
believed to be Thursday's rehearsal dinner. A stream of black SUVs were seen driving up,
as guests arrived for what an NYPD memo just... This is why my girlfriend thinks you're misogynist,
by the way, Jay Merchant literally thinks he's fucking being sneaky and subtle
with that accidental accidental lore drop hey what's up I'm a girlfriend guy by
the way yeah I'm a girlfriend guy now okay dude
described as a 100 person event at a vet you ain't sneaky motherfucker we know
what you're trying to do you're trying to be like I have a girlfriend by the way
okay I got it and you inside the arena the party had a garden theme a source at
Madison Square Garden told NBC News just an hour before crews were still setting up privacy tents
and hanging curtains inside to block people from peering in and police officers were spotted
carrying folders titled Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey wedding as ramped up security presence
and road closures locked I controversial opinion I think this is a dramatic misuse of
public resources. Sorry, I fucking, I'm saying it. I think it's insane. I think it's a bad
look. I think it's, uh, it's, it's heightening the contradictions. It's showcasing once again
that it like no matter how beloved a figure you might be, you're still, if you're a billionaire,
you're still a billionaire and you're going to do billionaire shit. This is a glaringly
obvious example of that. This is straightforwardly a flex, I think. It's as straightforwardly
a flex to be like, yeah, I can do this. Fuck it. And I kind of think it's a little tacky
at best. Yeah, it's giving Mary Antoinette, it's giving Let The Meat Cake. I don't know
It's true, but supposedly she's paying for the cost of the cops. You don't understand this my emotional sport billionaire shutting down midtown
Totally different from when Trump did it last month
Yeah, it's also crazy cuz it's like she's doing it so close to when Trump did it
down the arena surrounding area during a cruel summer heatwave. Meanwhile, Kelsey and Swift
are spreading the love. Swift's rep telling NBC News the couple donated $26 million to charities
across the U.S., including Brad Paisley's Nashville nonprofit, The Store. I am so excited for Taylor
and Travis's wedding and I am absolutely flattered beyond belief that they chose our charity.
But paisley played a coy when asked if he'd be attending the event. Uh, I'll say it's very
likely that I'm going. Swifty stuff, bro, bro, they, they had to sign NDAs.
Okay. They had to literally sign NDAs with their invite with their RSVPs.
So they can't even publicly say that they're going to the wedding.
We heard that this is happening so we had to see it for ourselves.
Whatever Swift and Kelsey's wildest dreams may be for today, it'll certainly be one to
remember.
She's been singing about it in her songs and so people are really excited to see her
finally get this fairy tale ending that she's always hoped for.
A source telling NBC News at the inside of MSN.
They just want their wedding to be private.
Hasan, they just want their wedding to be private, tired face.
In Madison Square Garden, in the middle of New York City.
On July 4th weekend.
I mean, come on.
I think most Swifties will probably look at this and be like this is supposed to be your iconic moment, but this is a little wild
Right, can we can we say is a little wild is maybe a bad look?
She has been completely transformed with drapery chandeliers castle like structures you guys it is going to be a fairy tale
Okay, yeah, it sounds like it. All right, Chloe. Thank you
That was an odd choice at first, but now I sort of get it because they can control the environment
more than they could in any large venue in the city. If budget is not a consideration,
which it is not, you could do anything. You know to be able to get in there.
And the security and the experience of the soundstage. And my theory was always like,
like there's two different types of people in media. Okay. There are those who are afraid
of invoking the wrath of the Swifties. And then there are those who literally have never
thought of an individual independent thought that wasn't whatever is pro-billionaire, okay?
These people are conditioned to always do billionaire worship. You are going to prison, yay.
Okay, okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Big sports arena, big music arena.
It's a marriage interest.
That seems large to us, but to Travis and Taylor,
that's just like a small room.
Yeah.
That's a room that they're both in all the time.
And they can have a performance as,
and it is not too late to invite you to see like a smart
there you go
you just crash it
hey thanks for a while
sure just crash it
you're gonna put your ass in jail for even thinking wrong thoughts here okay
wrong think
it's not the New York City subway behind me it is wedding bells in the air the big day
is here and sources tell CBS News
it's gonna happen here
it's gonna start at 4 p.m. with an hour and a half cocktail hour that is my style
and the party is gonna go the late possibly into Saturday morning and guess
what our resident Swifty Joe in Kenya to sit here. She's been digging for details
all week Joe. It is an honor to be here a big day for Taylor Swift and Travis
Kelsey and can we talk about this rehearsal dinner last night? It was
under lock and key but we did see some of her dearest friends, her closest
family members coming and going as this historic Madison Square Garden was
draped and lit up in a rosy pink. It was a star-studded rehearsal dinner
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey hosting their nearest and dearest, shielding their
arrivals in a giant tent at Madison Square Garden amid heavy police presence.
Video shows this SUV believed to be taking Swift to MSG.
Longtime friend and fellow pop star Selena Gomez posted this video from the road, seemingly
on her way to Thursday's 100-person gathering at Infosys Theater.
The first event triggered major street closures, increased traffic, and pedestrians rerouting
their commutes.
Yeah, we were wondering where our invitation was.
Although the wedding weekend has been shrouded in secrecy, fans gathered outside the venue,
hoping to catch a glimpse of any details.
Food vendors, giant air conditioning units, even a bed were-
Yeah, remember?
I don't- someone tells me they're not keeping that shit at, uh, 78 degrees, okay?
We saw some stuff come out of some trucks.
We didn't know what it is.
At one point I was convinced they were in one of the boxes.
Maybe that's how they're doing it.
Before the festivities kicked off, Swift and Kelsey announced wedding gifts of their own this week,
donating $26 million to at least 20 charities.
They're giving to food banks, music education programs, and children's hospitals
in places where the couple has personal ties, from her hometown of Reading, Pennsylvania,
to Nashville, to New York, to Kansas City. Economist Misty Haganis wrote the book Swiftynomics.
What does this amount say to you?
I think it just speaks to kind of who they are at the core of their being. You know,
they're happy and in love and they want to...
Well, like unbelievably wealthy. That's what it speaks. That's what it speaks to. That's crap. Come on, man.
No, this is so crazy. This is so crazy. Swift enomics implies the existence of Swift enoxys.
Yeah, I'm a Marxian Swift enomic. I'm a Marxian Swift enomics enjoyer.
spread joy, in addition to having a huge party with their friends and family.
The big question is really-
Weren't you invited?
But you declined because you had the stream?
Yeah.
This is a funny thing to believe.
I'm gonna be the first mother fucker to get canceled for a wedding invitation I never
got because people have hallucinated that then about whether or not they're
already married and have they said their vows yet page six is reporting that yeah
this is like when medieval lords get married and the peasants are gathered
outside the castle walls yes me lord ship give us a bit of a shine me lord
ship I love you maybe they already have gotten married in front of a small group
of friends that is unconfirmed but either way we are expecting a star-centered
here in Madison Square Garden.
I'm here for it.
After much speculation that
big day is finally here for
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey.
This is the closest thing our
great country has to a royal
lighting and it is expected to
go down right here at Madison Square Garden.
We have been hunting for clues all week.
The area has been on lockdown over
the past couple of days.
There was even a police officer
NYPD spotted carrying a back at
facing out and what did that back
at say Taylor Swift and Travis
Kelsey's wedding? So after all of
So after all of those NDAs, the secret is out and we're joined right now by USA Today.
Taylor Swift reporter Brian Buss in person. Delightful to see you.
It's good to see you.
Happy wedding day.
You think Taylor Swift is mad that they blew the lid on this wedding?
Like that she thought she could keep it a private affair the entire time?
You think, okay, okay.
Here's what's actually happening.
Taylor Swift already got privately married, okay, in front of her friends.
What she's doing here is a funeral procession for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Because it's happening at the exact same time as the week-long funeral for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is taking place in Iran.
What if Taylor Swift is actually doing exactly that, but at the heart of the United States of America, the heart of capital, the heart of empire, this is her way of also doing actually zero correlation.
No, Taylor Swift, it turns out Taylor Swift converted to Shia Islam, reverted to Shia Islam,
masha'Allah.
Okay?
And she's actually doing a funeral proceeding, and that's the reason why they're like doing
this so hush-hush and in a secretive way.
This question that we have, of course, are they already married or not?
That is a $13 million question.
Taylor Swift and her magnetic force of a man married and the answer is maybe that still
is an answer though.
It's not definitive.
There have been reports that maybe they got married right before the ceremony.
There is time before the everything kicks off at five today.
But it seems all signs are pointing to a possible wedding if not definitely a celebration.
Well we know there was a rehearsal dinner here last night.
That's what New York City police and law enforcement sources told CBS News.
What do we know about what happened?
Who came?
What did it look like?
What were they saying?
She's not relieved.
all day yesterday. I have to tell you it was a cruel summer, but they ended up moving back
the barricade when this was all going down. So around six o'clock, they shut down 31st
Street. You couldn't even walk along the streets and we saw guests after guests arrive. There
was Lena Dunham. She was seen in a video. We also saw her childhood best friend Abigail
Anderson Burrard. Donna Kelsey was spotted at the airport. We saw his best friend Russ Travis.
So there was an event here. So there was an event here. We saw Donna Kelsey arriving a little
little bit close to go time there yesterday. I want to know if you're one of the lucky
1000 VIPs going inside tonight for the big event, what can we expect to see? What is
Taylor concocted? I think she has completely transformed the space. I think it's going
to be this garden kind of bucolic scenery, if you will. We have seen through the windows
there are some long lenses that have shown some of the flowers a lot of green. I was
out there watching a lot of things be unloaded. There was this bar stretcher that they unloaded
that the label said tree so I picture kind of like a forest
or garden. I mean her engagement photos were so
gorgeous. It's always kind of creates this new college world
right a folkloric world so that's what my money is on that
to know about the performances because there have been rumors
about all sorts of performers can you imagine your spot if I
wrapped playlist is all here attending so you can have Sir
Paul McCartney or Steve next or Tim McGraw just get up and
see if you can find out if I wrapped playlist is let it go
for frozen, but please. Okay. I didn't mind. So I might be here. Have we checked with her?
Can we find that out? Can you imagine? And so I just picture this as a big celebration.
My question, does Travis get up there? He is no stranger to a microphone,
but also does Taylor maybe have a gift or a song that you would also do?
I'm skipping. Okay. Let's get to, let's get to the Taylor Swift of socialism,
Zoran Kwame Mamdani
Right as a hybrid is incoming by the way ladies and gentlemen if you would like to carry the flame today of all days on this beautiful Friday July 3rd
Then all you need to do is subscribe what you can do
Uh for five dollars or for free with a twitch prime or by gifting subs
Okay
Let's take a look at what Zoran Kwame Mamdani had to say he is delivering a july 4th speech
before the 4th of July. Six dollars are for free with the touch prime, sorry.
Good morning my fellow Americans. Season after season, year after year, the
tides have come in and out of New York Harbor. Long before the name New York had
ever been spoken, Lenape dugouts crossed these currents. It was on these waters
the tall masts crested the horizon. Damn! He, Lenape mentioned, Lenape mentioned!
He did the, he did the, the boys, girls, and M.B.'s coming to you live from New York City,
New York on stolen Lenape land. Captain by explorers like Barzano and Hudson,
after whom we've named our bridges and rivers. And ever since, ships full of travelers weary from
and long journeys have passed through the narrows,
the winds of the Atlantic at their backs.
When those passengers lifted their heads
to glimpse what lies just beyond the waves,
what did they see?
They saw land, lush and teeming with light.
They saw men waiting at the docks
to take them into bondage.
They saw tenements rife with squalor.
They saw industry rumbling with activity,
steam and smoke rising a city on the move.
They saw a towering monument to freedom,
her torch glowing worldwide welcome.
They saw New York City.
They saw America.
Tomorrow, our nation marks
250 years since we declared our independence,
250 years of a grand experiment in self-governance,
an experiment so audacious that some in
1776 doubted it would last more than a few years,
let alone a quarter of a millennium.
From Lexington to Los Angeles, Selma to Seneca Falls,
Morissania to Midwood, Americans will come together for a day,
just as we do each year.
Families will gather around the grill,
fireworks will fill the night sky.
This will be no ordinary day of celebration.
250 years presents a rare opportunity
for more than 340 million people to turn together,
both towards one another and towards ourselves,
to take measure of who we are as a nation.
When we look at America, what do we see?
Here at City Hall, as I sit behind George Washington's desk,
alongside new Americans who came to this country,
I cannot see all of America.
But like so many who came before, I can see New York City.
The city I see today looks very different
than the one that greeted George Washington.
In July of 1776, our city simmered under the yoke of oppression.
The British had imposed a colonial rule so repressive that 250 years ago, 80 miles south,
a small group of newspaper editors, farmers and soldiers signed their names on a document
declaring truths that feel self-evident now.
Yeah, the desk is backwards Chad, that's on purpose.
But we're revolutionary then.
Establishing the ideals our nation still strives to fulfill.
The British did not take it with them.
He's sitting on the wrong side of the desk on purpose.
Well, war broke out.
In that August, as the largest battle of the Revolutionary War unfolded in Brooklyn, batteries
on Governor's Island took aim at British ships anchored just offshore.
We were outgunned.
We were outmanned.
And we were soundly defeated.
We're the mayor now.
After only a few months, it appeared our fledgling attempt at democracy was on the precipice
of collapse.
But that night, with the moon overhead, thousands of our soldiers silently climbed into ferries
and flat-bottomed boats and escaped to Manhattan.
The continental army survived to fight another day.
Independence may have been declared in Philadelphia, but it was rescued in New York City.
Bro, this guy always got to bring New York City into it.
Okay.
Always.
This guy, this guy always got to be like, listen, yeah, sure.
They fucking signed it.
And they should have shot.
They should have signed it in New York, honestly.
And, and, and New York city is the one that, that actually did all the legwork.
You know what I mean?
George Washington was the last to leave Brooklyn.
As he waited at the river's edge, the sun beginning its rise, he would have looked out
over New York City's waters and seen what so many have seen in the 250 years since.
An opportunity to begin anew.
Those opportunities, like everything in New York City, are not given.
They are won.
In 1838, 11 years after New York outlawed slavery, a recently emancipated black man
by the name of James Weeks, sought to begin anew as well
and to help hundreds of others do the same.
He bought property in Brooklyn, won himself the right to vote,
and sold lots to others newly freed.
When they landed in New York Harbor,
they knew they had something waiting for them
that they had never had before, a home.
Weeksville still stands today,
a living, breathing testament to what we know America to be.
A place each of us has the power to make.
The harbor was busy those years, the ships poured in from around the world.
Hundreds of thousands of Irish immigrants arrived with summits aching
from a famine manufactured by imperial cruelty.
Chinese sailors settled in what is today Chinatown.
Millions more traveled under the Statue of Liberty and through Ellis Island.
Jewish people escaping pogroms, Italians feeling fleeing poverty,
Syrians seeking economic opportunity.
Each of these new arrivals peered through portholes onto a city
that was changing as fast as the nation.
They saw merchants peddling their wares on the docks,
streets being laid out on a grid,
buildings rising into the clouds.
They could not yet see the nativism they would face,
the jobs they would be refused,
the landlords who would not rent to them,
and the abject labor and living conditions they would withstand.
But no matter how much smog hung over the harbor,
they still saw an opportunity to begin anew.
Over the years that followed,
despite laws enacted by the federal government to bar their entry,
Despite sweatshop fires that killed hundreds of women,
despite riots aimed at their very existence,
immigrants made homes here in New York City,
and they helped to make New York City.
That legacy of every generation of Americans
insisting that the right to life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness extends to them too
is no relic of the past.
It carried millions of black Americans north during the Great Migration.
It drew hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans to New York City
after the Second World War.
It invited countless others from the West Indies and South Asia and West Africa and across the world.
And it is what brought my family to this city when I was seven years old.
My family did not arrive by boat, although we saw the Statue of Liberty from the window of the plane.
Even from the air, we could make out the promise of America,
the promise of the beautiful patriotic work of rendering America, year after year,
a little more faithful to its founding ideals.
There was a term so often used to describe our nation and those who have shaped it,
American exceptionalism.
American exceptionalism, the conventional wisdom tells us,
makes our freedom a little more free,
is how we dug the Erie Canal and irrigated the West,
is why children in faraway lands
grow up dreaming of one day moving here.
And yet the irony is that the story of America
has so often been written by those
who were told by others with power and influence and wealth
that they were anything but exceptional.
For generation after generation,
we have been told that when the world has sent its people
to our shores. It has not sent its best. It sent Puritans and Sikhs and Quakers and Muslims.
This is great. There is a long tradition. New York Times actually covered this extensively as
well. Every year, if you're a democracy now in Georgia, you probably hear what's his name,
James Earl Jones, do the People's History of the United States as a part of the People's History
of the United States like theatrical release, a reading of Frederick Douglass' What's Fourth
of July to a Slave? I'm butchering everything here, but every year they do this, they do
this reading of Frederick Douglass' famous speech that he delivered to a group of abolitionist
women about what 4th of July means for Black Americans, right?
It's delivered by James Earl Jones, Rest in Peace, and there is a long, time-honored tradition
of what 4th of July means to those who are dispossessed, those who are oppressed, who
have been oppressed historically by America.
What does the revolutionary actions of the Founding Fathers mean, and, you know, what
can we do to carry on, to carry on that same revolution, as is not complete yet, for everyone,
right?
True emancipation, true liberation for all.
What to the slave is the Fourth of July is the speech delivered by Frederick Douglass
on July 5, 1852 at Corinthian Hall in Rochester, New York, at a meeting organized by the Rebellion
Rochester Ladies Anti-Slavery Society. Okay, democracy now plays it every year. I listen
to it this morning again as is tradition. We will play it later, but getting back to
Zoran, he is also basically doing a similar thing. Talking about Fourth of July, talking
at the redeemable aspects of America being, of course, open-minded to migration patterns,
being open-minded to immigrants, or at least like getting through the friction and becoming a place
that immigrants call home. Immigrants like Zoram-Amdani himself.
Jewish people who are banished for praying the wrong way, worshiping the wrong gods,
angering the wrong... Stop talking about immigrants like they're flocks of birds with the
fuck dog. Really, you're saying that to me of all fucking people? What are we talking about at
this point? Jesus Christ. What's next dude? Am I being Islamophobic when I talk about Islam?
Want to talk about Muslims? Is that what you're gonna say next? Sent peasants and
serfs from slums and shtetls who were treated as less because they hardly owned clothes,
let alone land, it's an immigrants from whom power was something someone else had.
We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger,
more powerful than everyone else. The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional
because here, nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed, we may have walked on
the moon, but the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence,
That work endures, and it belongs to us all.
It belongs too to our newest Americans,
those standing here with me today,
all of whom were recently naturalized.
Nearly a decade ago, I too felt what you feel,
the joy of no longer being just a New Yorker,
but an American too.
You each hold a special power,
the power to determine what America means.
The powerful have always known their answer.
America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy,
where only a select few are allowed freedom, where not all are created equal.
America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes.
America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right trait of skin.
The rest of us they insist should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit.
How small they are, how weak, how unoriginous, every moment in our past.
Those who led through exclusion and isolation have tried to win power and enrich themselves.
ourselves by turning us against one another.
Division is the oldest trick in politics and the cheapest.
But time and again, including 250 years ago,
those forces of division have been vanquished by the forces of progress.
As Thomas Paine once wrote,
this new world hath been the asylum for the persecuted lovers of civil and religious liberty.
Hither have they fled.
And yet today, too many of our leaders
do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted,
but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum.
As we mark 250 years, what do we see?
We see a city of contradictions within a nation of contradictions.
We see the wealthiest country in the history of the world,
one where children go to sleep hungry
while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more.
We see monopolies that dominate every industry
and oligarchs who buy elections.
We see masked agents terrorizing our streets,
eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors
before spearing them away in unmarked vans.
We see a nation whose immense wealth
has been built by those with calloused, dirt-streaked hands,
those who toil on factory floors and chisel into stone.
And we see a nation that has allowed so much of that wealth
to be held instead in the soft hands of a precious few.
Yes, we see America in a health insurance industry that exploits the sick, but that
is not all we see when we look for America.
We see it too in the nurse who works a double shift and then stops on her way home to check
on an ailing neighbor.
Yes, we see America in corporate landlords for whom negligence is a business model.
We see it too in the father who tucks his children into bed, beneath a ceiling stained
with leaks, who wakes before dawn to go to work and still believes his country can do
better by his family. Yes, we see America when we spend our tax dollars on bombs and bailouts,
when we sell our elections to the highest bidder. Yet we see it just as clearly in every American
who still believes this country belongs to we, the people. We see America- Dude, awesome. Like
Zoramumdani, an immigrant talking about the love he has for his city, talking about the
the contradictions and the redeemable aspects of America and the irredeemable aspects of
America and putting a lot of thought and effort into this.
And of course, this moment has to be fucking instantly ruined by fucking weirdos.
Hasan looking bloaty and gassy right now.
You left your country, you chose to be here, that means you need to adapt to us.
We do not need to adapt to you.
tour region, the in the shit country you are trying to escape.
Brother, the point is America has always been an unfathomably diverse nation and
it still is to this day. It is you who is incapable of adapting to the current
conditions and the historic conditions that America has always represented the
promise of America. Okay? America simultaneously is a country that has
maintained shadow slavery, conducted indigenous genocide at its inception, but
it's also one that is the most diverse country on the planet. Okay? The problem
is you want the irredeemable aspects of American history. You demand the
irredeemable aspects of American history to be the only thing that is
represented as a positive in all of the wonderful aspects of America that makes America this tapestry,
that makes America this diverse country, this dominant power in many respects to be cast aside
for some mythological understanding of ethnic purity. You've been taught that this concept
of ethnic purity would actually bring about some kind of positive future for America.
This type of person has existed for every wave of immigration. Some guys said this every other
decades is the foundation of this country. No, exactly. The Irish come in and people say,
oh, the Irish, I mean, they're Catholic. They can't integrate. They can't come into this country.
This is our country. This is a nation of Protestants. We're of good wasp stock. How dare they try to
come to this country, we have to do everything in our power to fucking purge them. Nowadays,
when you look back at that, the Irish have obviously assimilated so perfectly that they
are a part of the In group. This was said of the Italians, this was said of the Polish,
this was said of the Jewish migrants, no matter what happens, every wave, wave after wave,
The people that were here always tried to create new hurdles for those that came in,
those that came in after them.
At some point in time, it was said of your ancestors too, for the record, that they are
incapable of integrating in the society.
And they brought their own, they brought their own culture, they brought their own cuisine.
And that is what made America this diverse country.
Okay?
Yeah.
An American mosaic.
This map shows up.
People in the United States identify their ancestry or family origin, used to explore
For the many ways, we, yeah, this is what America is all about.
Okay?
By the way, this proves my theory of the more you go out west or the more you go south,
you're Mexican.
And the more you go, the more you go to the, I mean, it's all going to be English.
But the more you come closer to New York, you're Italian.
You're either Italian or Mexican.
It's ironic that those who claim ownership over being American always are fundamentally
at odds with the most American concept, which is cherishing diversity.
Like, America does not exist without unlimited migration, okay?
That's what makes America what it is.
That's what makes America diverse.
That's what makes America different than other countries.
That's what makes America unique to many other countries.
Birthright is, ironically enough, one of those principles.
Unlimited migration sounds insane.
That's literally just America, though, Floyd Woffin.
I know it sounds insane to you.
Look around, dumbass.
what it is. I know it sounds fucking insane to you because you think everyone around you
have lived on this land for generations. That's not the case. How the fuck do you think this
country was formed? Look, even some of the Nazis have had to come to terms with this
reality, which is why they say, oh, it's European migration that made America what it is. Even
And that's not true.
America is an unbelievably diverse country, as a consequence of both forced and also
voluntary migration.
Slavery is another obvious real dark chapter of American history.
Boyd Waffin, just don't let the Jews poison them, oh God.
What about the indigenous people who are already here, you forget about ashrads?
I never do.
I always bring it up, okay?
I always maintain that America was was built on indigenous genocide and the enforcement
of chattel slavery.
Sometimes I don't immediately bring it up while I'm talking about other aspects that
are redeemable about America and everyone always yells at me and says, oh, well, in that
30-second clip you didn't immediately bring this up you didn't bring that up, okay?
I did. I talked about it two minutes ago.
That each time neighbors link arms with neighbors without asking how long they have lived here
or what papers they have as ICE invades our neighborhoods. We see America each time those
young and old stand in the beating rain or the stifling heat to cast their ballots.
We see America each time working people demand more not just for themselves but for their fellow
Americans. There are some who respond to those who ask for more from America with a simple
refrain, love it or leave it, they say. But patriotism has never been about pretending
our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent. It is every
march led under the heavy sun. It is every protest held a decade before its time. It
is precisely because we love this nation that we will not leave it. After all, who loves
America more than those who have sacrificed so much to make it free. Today, I think not
only of the 4th of July, I think two of the 9th of July. Five days after the Declaration
of Independence was signed, it arrived here, an hour in New York City. Redcoats had disembarked
on Staten Island, more than a hundred British ships loomed just offshore. Across this city,
the Continental Army prepared for an invasion. George Washington commanded his brigades
to assemble just a few feet from this building.
It was known then as the Commons.
Today, we call it City Hall Park.
There, within range of British guns,
Washington ordered his generals to read the declaration
aloud.
And with the world's mightiest empire poised to attack,
Washington told the people of New York City
what we will celebrate tomorrow, that we had declared
our independence, that freedom was
Interesting speech, right, leftism and patriotism,
kind of new to see, no, it's not new. This is a time-honored tradition. People have always done this.
I mean, it's what I do as well from time to time. I criticize America for all of its
lost promises or the dark chapters of its history that it chooses to hide. It chooses not to recognize
or the racial wounds that still remain. These are all very real aspects of America.
It's a part of the complex tapestry that America is. Having said that, however, there are plenty of
redeemable qualities of America as well, plenty of great qualities of America. Okay.
A working court system that no longer is working as intended, obviously. Do process, free speech.
And most importantly, how diverse this country is, and the people that make America what
it is, okay?
Within reach.
That evening, danger loomed.
Conflict was not a question, but a certainty.
And yet when those early New Yorkers marched toward the statue of King George III, that
that stood in the bowling green.
A statue they would melt down into bullets
for their young army.
They walked in unison,
grounded not in the pursuit of plunder,
but in ideals that for the first time had a name, America.
Those ideals upon which our nation was built,
they are strong enough to endure any authoritarian regime,
but only if we reach for them.
Ours is a nation working each day
towards the perfection in which it was conceived.
A nation striving each day to better itself.
Therein lies the work of America,
the striving, the bettering, the reaching towards perfection.
What a privilege each of us has
to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants
can shape.
What a responsibility each of us possesses
to prove ourselves worthy of all those who came before.
What power each of us holds
to bring America ever closer
to the greatness so many have seen
when they looked upon these shores.
The greatness that for 250 years has been America.
Thank you.
God bless America, God bless New York City
and happy 4th of July.
All right, great speech, Laura.
Of course, people are very frustrated
if Fox News is immediately
Fox News is immediately spent most of the morning shitting on it
Kaley I'm on Donnie's Beach. We need more feathermen's if you're a mom donnies. It makes me angry
The the public that has to remind our elected officials to be proud of your state and proud of your country regardless of which party is in charge
That's right. And we
There's also part of the reason why I get very frustrated, right?
Whenever people say Hassan all you say is America bad all you say is America bad Hassan you hate America because
The idea of loving America has been totally held hostage by some of the worst fucking figures that unironically destroy America with regular frequency, whether it be the Republican Party, whether it be Donald Trump, whether it be the parasitic capital owner in class.
Okay.
America, the entity has not served Americans.
Okay.
The American people.
I care about the American people.
I care about the working class.
America, the nation state, is defined entirely by who it is, by the people that are inside
of it, okay?
I fight for the American people.
I fight for Americans, I fight for the working class in general.
I don't fight for America the entity, especially if America the entity does not serve the interests
of its people.
and it clearly does not.
It's insane that those who have literally ruined this country
ruined the conditions for its people
are the ones who also get to have ownership over what it means to love america.
And they're trafficking this reactionary sentiment over and over again.
You're not a real american. You didn't come here.
uh... you weren't born here four generations ago five years ago or
sometimes they say
even the likes of donald trump
who's been born
who was born on u.s. soil
but is only two generations removed from not being on the united on u.s. soil
can claim
to have more ownership over patriotism and what it means to be american
then the likes of a lc
whose family has been
in the united states of america
for eight generations
i want this country
to be a country that we can be proud of i want this country to no longer tamper
with the potential of others i want this country to no longer be
uh... a nation state that is enforcing his wishes upon the masses that's
that's harming the other countries in the periphery
what this country to be one that we can be proud of
we have unlimited potential here
We have unlimited potential in the United States of America.
But it's very difficult to get that message across to those who believe there's only
one type of patriotism, who believe there's only one way to love America, and that's
by leaning into some of its worst qualities, by denying its historical wrongs, by refusing
to write its historical wrongs.
That's not patriotism. It's just like low IQ behavior.
We need more John Fettermans calling out this socialism and fewer mom Donnie's in elected
office. That's the first time I've seen those comments when you played them, Emily. And
it makes me angry. It makes me angry to see someone who took advantage of the American
Dream, who's a recipient of it. Mom Donnie and his family came to this country and he
And it's literally his speech his speech was about that his speech was about the promise of America and
And the dreams that that every immigrant has when they come here
He is now mayor of the greatest city in our country the biggest the beacon of freedom
We have the Statue of Liberty right behind us and the fact that the mayor of this city where the statue
Like John Federman is a patriot just not for America. He's a patriot for Israel. Of course, you would want more patriotic
People patriotic for the nation's state of Israel that will place the interest of the state of Israel over the interests of America and Americans
Liberty stands fails to understand Liberty fails to understand that this is a beacon of freedom
That when the world didn't have a place where you could celebrate being free from an autocrat or a king
The great founders of our country came together and in this grand experiment created the greatest the greatest
This is on the national mall Emily. I'm sorry to interrupt what I was saying, but they wanted us to point this out
And while we're talking about the national mall perfect segue here on the national mall is the america 250
Marketplace where you have all of these different states who have come together 11 of whom
Decided not to celebrate 10 of those are democratic states, but when I say we need more cuttermens
Oh my god tying it back to a fucking
and tying it back to the privately owned America 250 celebrations. Disgusting.
I'm thinking about the fact that the United States rose up against oppressive taxation
from the English. Yeah, there was a second part of that, don't you think? What was it?
It wasn't fuck taxes. It was taxation without representation. It wasn't no taxation. It's
fucking idiot
that's awesome
and
it's oppressive taxation is forcing a lot of new yorkers to leave new york right
now and it's coming from the leadership in in my god someone across the sea or
king
you hate that there is more representation
that's what you hate
That's the problem for the longest time, do clip shipping the constitution?
Yes.
For the longest time, these guys have demanded no representation whatsoever.
Right.
Taxes come in, they go to subsidies, they go to corporations, they get tax
breaks, they don't even pay the taxes, they're super wealthy.
And this is the design of the system.
It's great.
No changes necessary.
Okay? Now you got a movement that says, actually, the super wealthy, the super fortunate should
give back more, just as the average American does. And also on top of that, we should actually
have a more democratic control over where these taxes are going to begin with. That's
what you hate. You hate democracy. You hate the representation. You are the colonial British
in this point, in this analogy, and you're mad that the people are fucking rising up.
What Kami says, thank you for the 20 of the stars.
It's coming from right here, where people feel that they're being struggled out of the
ability to have a business, to run a company, to pay their rent and all of it, so thank
you.
They send, they don't really get a lot of power here in Washington, they're gaining power
now.
But I think that negative Nellie's cell, in a negativity cell in small bites, it doesn't
sell to an optimistic patriotic America.
We tend to elect people, particularly for president, who we see as more optimistic and
just more joyful.
been two exceptions to that since 1960. And I just don't think it's going to sell. Also,
I'm facing, they don't really.
Live up.
Jesse Waters.
To the hype. This guy built this thing up. Like this was the state of the union on July 4th.
and he bombed. I mean this thing was so boring. So tedious and like you said the
lighting was dark. There was no color. You had immigrants standing around them like this like
with a tiny little flag. It's like oh my god you could have been. Yeah it's boring and lame dude.
Boring and lame so much better because the guy's talented. He has a decent personality
But this thing did not deliver. I felt nothing. Yeah, at least when other
Politicians talk. I feel hate. I feel happiness. I feel I felt empty inside
Maybe it's because he's so young and has literally done nothing before with his life
That didn't feel like there was anything behind it kind of felt like he was the first Muslim mayor of New York
reading a speech written for the first black president,
who's trying to be Barack Obama.
But Barack Obama, he'd say that stuff was wrong with the country,
but then he'd bring you up and then take you higher.
This guy brought you here and then took you down.
Aesthetically, you're looking at a guy with a beard,
sitting still like this, surrounded by immigrants,
and he's saying you're racist and we're coming for you that's a lot of america saw that speech
so i gotta say something on me calm down mondan area relax no one's afraid of you
we don't like communism and there's just nothing there is nothing about the the actual
like no mention of any of the things that he mentioned in the speech itself anyway
Speaking of abject failures that are a proper analog to America's 250th year of existence.
Bremthar, hello.
Hello.
Oh my God.
I'm so clean.
Speaking of the perfect analog to America's 250th birthday, here is the great American
State Fair.
Prem Tucker went over there.
Come with us to the great American State Fair.
We got a P.
We are here at the great American State Fair, a wonderful affair put on by Donald Trump
to celebrate the 250th anniversary of this great country.
It seems like the only thing that's really hot today is the temperature because it is
breaking 100 degrees Fahrenheit that's 36 degrees Celsius for our national friends.
We were told there's supposed to be tens of thousands of people here but there
wasn't really that many people here at the time. Luckily, I guess that just meant
more fun for us.
I just got out of the American Canvas collab with Faith and Family and this
exhibit was off the charts. There was this amazing exhibit about the Great
Awakening, call me woke. There are all these amazing texts and reminders that
But the separation of church and state a little overrated.
And finally, guys, I got to meet George Washington.
I was just in the America Innovates exhibit, which out of the vast industrial spirit that
America has, illustrated a few particular companies.
One of which was, of course, Truth Social, Donald Trump's very own social media app.
Another was, of course, Tiktok, which has a major stake owned by the pro-Israel pro-Trump
billionaire Larry Ellison and of course our very own SpaceX which you know I
know there's been some unsavory headlines lately but I think it just goes
to show Elon Musk really deserves to be a trillionaire.
So even though it's a hundred degrees outside Budweiser still found a way to
to bring these beautiful horses out. And they have their own little cages too. It's so cute.
I hope they're having fun because I know I am.
Guys, you'll never believe. I know they're still working on getting the actual 250 foot
tall Arctic trim for Arctic Trump, as some call it. But in the meantime, they have an
amazing mock-up of it right over here.
We tried ending the day at the reflecting pool, the one that Donald Trump has worked
It's so hard to beautify, but...
All the officials in the area are stressed out.
If you're not allowed, please leave the services of the city
and please make sure you're cooperating.
There you have it.
Julian was on the ground as well yeah great America State Fair was postponed
earlier today because multiple attendees passed out due to heat stroke I was there
dropping a drop-slide vlog and I personally witness three people pass
out the numbers like we hired the seven total my interview with event staff on
the medical emergency right now it's a heat wave going on
It's a heat wave going on right now and people with this outside having fun,
but people also outside and passing out. Okay.
How many people did you see pass out yourself?
Seven people passed out in the last one hour.
67 people passed out in the last one hour.
I promise it's not that close anymore.
Is the event well prepared for this, I mean?
I mean, at my station, I can't talk to the whole thing.
You see, I got water where I had water,
but I still got cold water inside.
So I don't know.
Does anybody go to the emergency room?
A lot of people do.
But they got no medical tests over there, which you can see, they got medical tests.
It's five to six beds in the medical center, and they got free air and free water.
Did your bosses prepare you for something like this?
Did they say that today was going to be a mass?
I mean, not really. They just said, just be out here.
Just be out here?
Yeah, they just showed up.
Some of them.
My job is to make sure that y'all up, y'all thirsty.
I mean, now, y'all dehydrated y'all hydration and y'all good. That's it. Thanks
It was a hundred and eighteen today under shade I would be finest on where I live is hot nine months a year
Yeah, well, not everyone is is as
Lizard like as you are
Dude, look at this.
It's perfect.
It's perfectly representative of everything that America represents now.
Just mismanaged kleptocracy.
cleptocracy. Wait, where the fuck is the playlist? I think I accidentally turned it
off. He's almost sending the link to the playlist again.
What is this? This video is going viral on TikTok. People going to the fascist fair in DC.
see the American freedom 250 I don't know it's like a circus it's like a rally is it
like a I think it's a fascist fair
the best fair is over there
not gonna go right you should
yeah we'll come back with feedback thank you
morning new scrutiny on the president's personal
What is that noise?
Why is there so much like ominous background noise?
So we're celebrating American 50s.
Oh, it's a military flyover.
50, we can't get hardwood floors.
Great.
All right.
A stuffed footlong press room for $17.
Wait a minute.
A Nutella stuffed footlong press room for $14.
Oh, and the limit is $8.
So I can pay for conductees for $12.
There's 50 flyovers.
Health care best we can do is 50 flyovers in Washington, DC.
Jesus.
For the dollar, they're like, oh, inflation.
Why not, right?
great hey it's the price of gas it looks like it's 3d right it's not it's fucking flat
no you know i'm not seeing very many people here
oh there's your group i mean there's not much here
It's looking pretty scant.
Should we go to the Ferris wheel?
No.
There's literally no one.
There is no one.
It's incredible.
So, after waiting in line for three hours because the line was just so long because the demand for freedom to 50 is so high,
we are now stuck on the Ferris wheel.
So, we've gotten a lot of stairs here, um, and we haven't talked about stuff.
I don't really know.
I think we stand out for a certain reason.
What the hell is teaming?
We're gonna go to Utah.
POPs, we have to fold into doubt.
We're gonna go to Utah.
No, we're going to Kansas.
We're gonna go to Bowles.
No, we don't have time for that.
We've got to pick one.
We're already stalling, so let's go to Bowles.
We're going to Kansas.
Wait, this is crazy.
Had a great time, didn't you?
Dave loves and advocates for fairs of all kinds of this momentum.
Sad.
A great American state fair was a fine idea.
One of the perks of campaign reporting is dropping into big state fairs, farm animals,
butterscoutures, rides, beer halls, non Euclidean fried objects, etc.
half-assed execution stinks. Yeah. I love fairs too. I've talked about this. I've been to fairs,
I've been to fairs of Oklahoma, New Jersey, numerous other places, right? Fairs are fucking awesome.
It's dope. And I, and I know you guys know this about me. I love hogs, both prize-winning hogs
and hogs that can't win prizes. Okay. I'm a fair guy. I like both the Republicans,
who are usually, you know, at these state fairs.
And I like the hogs, too.
It's it's cool, like the ones that win the ribbons.
So.
I.
Can't understand how the Trump administration fucked this one up
because like they're supposed to be the hog guys, right?
They're supposed to be the fair guys.
They're supposed to be doing fairs.
Now stop left and right.
This one is a major disappointment. And part of the reason why it's a major disappointment
is because they put it together haphazardly at the last second.
They put it together haphazardly at the very last second as a way to like filter money to their
own chosen vendors. Okay. They fucked it up. It was supposed to be this beautiful thing.
They didn't care. And if I was a conservative, I'd be extra mad about this.
Especially because I mean this this is so bad that I feel like even conservatives can't fake
Being into it
You know what I mean
Like this is America's 250th birthday and it feels like it's America's fucking funeral
The Smithsonian spent years planning on an awesome month-long fair in Trump replacing
with fucking dog shit. I know. I guess we get the fairs that we deserve, you know.
No, they will 100% be into it dog. They're not so into it that they're attending it.
Okay. What do you mean? Oh my god, this is sick. This is actually sick.
Should have voted for Kamala Shag in my head, yet Kamala Harris would have done a better
America 250 birthday party, actually.
Well, meanwhile, let's talk about Donald Trump, who's quite the trader.
Financial disclosures now revealing tens of thousands of securities trades during his
first year back in office.
The president's adviser is executing more than 21,000 trades on his behalf in 2025,
across roughly 1,600 companies, including tech giants and defense contractors.
Among the holdings, dozens of companies with government contracts.
Palantir, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, NVIDIA, Intel, even private prison operators.
And on the same day the White House unveiled its artificial intelligence action plan last
July, Trump bought as much as $5 million each in six tech giants directly affected by that
policy.
The disclosure does not show whether those trades came before or after the announcement.
In a new interview with CNBC, the president insisted he's hands off.
I don't do anything having to do with my business.
My kids run it.
My son Eric handles it.
I don't talk to him about it.
He's also such a fucking liar.
asked directly, he keeps repeatedly saying over and over again, he keeps repeatedly saying over
and over again, that they, that he's, he made that money because the Dow was up. Okay, the stock
market is up. And it's like, really? Well, you made $1.2 billion on cryptocurrency from Liberty
Financial. What the fuck does that have to do with the stock market? You know, also, you've been
outperforming the stock market because you keep promoting stocks that you are about to purchase.
Things such as this. Trump saying he's walled off from his own finances.
I let people invest and I don't even speak to I don't even know who they are.
The White House denied the president or his family ever engaged in conflicts of interest.
Meanwhile, another headline from Washington concerning the president's claims of alleged
fraud during the 2020 election in Georgia.
The FBI is now surging more than 250 personnel from field offices across the country to help
with the Georgia investigation.
God, everything sucks so fucking bad, dude.
Everything sucks so bad.
He is so bad.
I don't know what else to say.
internal memo calling it a, quote, priority investigation. Agents raided the Fulton County
Georgia Election Office earlier this year, seizing ballots. Georgia's 2020 votes were
counted three times, every count affirming Joe Biden's win. That FBI memo placed a deadline
on the work in Georgia, July 17. What if a democratic, the next time a Democrat is elected
president and you've, the executive branch says all this expanded power that you've
They've got it.
Don't you worry they'll undo some of your policies at that point?
I can always speak for myself.
It's necessary.
Don't worry about what's now.
Yeah, I mean look, it's necessary.
It's actually an honor to have won that because every president since FDR has been trying
to get that back and I got it back.
That's a big deal.
You know, it's a checkpoint.
Along the same lines, if the Democrats take the House and, you know, I want you to succeed
as president, I want a businessman to run the country.
And all along, you entered as a billionaire businessman,
which was untrusted.
And I think George Washington owned a lot of land,
but no one's ever, I think JFK had a trust fund,
but no one's ever been as wealthy as you.
And you obviously know how to run a business,
and that I think informs the way you run the country,
obviously.
Now, many people argue business experience
is needed in government.
And we've seen the stock market in the first term
and the second term.
I think it's been rewarded to have a businessman in there.
So I think we shouldn't be surprised that your businesses are doing well.
But how would you counter critics that say you're using the presidency to enrich yourself
and your family?
Well, in a lot of ways, if you think about it, the stock has gone up so much.
The stock market today, it's up 500 points.
It's up to almost 53,000.
And you know dog none of your none of your gains of anything to do with the stock market performance
Okay
Like
Your outperforming the stock market with your trades because you keep trading on
Either insider information or you keep trading
On stocks that you pump personally through the bully pulpit
And not only that but also a big chunk of your new wealth came from cryptocurrency and another piece
Also directly came from utilizing your existing properties like making the government pay for your own shit
This chat is a legit indicator of what's wrong with this country if we all fuck come on come on
We can't be lasering hogs that quick
If blatant absolute delusion was a raise y'all be first place every single accusation was zero evidence. Really?
So Donald Trump's 1.6 billion dollars in additional wealth from Liberty Financial that came directly from foreign investors, by the way
is actually perfectly above board.
The mind of a hog is fascinating.
Like, there was a guy that they interviewed, I think it was on CNN or something, I saw
Richard Hananya, that fucking former neo-Nazi current, you know, current pervert still.
He posted a tweet where a guy got fucked over by Trump's cryptocurrency schemes and he
still found a way to blame Democrats.
out yeah coffee Zilla came out with a new video the financial disclosures are
out
we got to unbend that guy I want to hear from him I want to hear stuff from him
What's your show, and you had somebody on one of your brilliant analysts, and they said
if I had won the election, they said if President Trump could get the stock market to anywhere
near 50,000, that would be an unbelievable achievement, and that was over four years.
In other words, at the end of his term, four years, if he could get anywhere near 50,000,
That would be well, it's at 53,000. It's just a couple of points short of
53,000 right now and that's essentially after a little bit more than a year
Do you do worry that if they take it if the Democrats would win the house that there's gonna be
Shut up bitch
Second off
Stop fucking complaining about being banned for five seconds, okay, you're unbanned
Now use, use the spotlight that you have wisely. Explain to us what, explain to us where you're coming from, okay?
Reuters found several Trump supporters who invested his meme coin and lost money, won't put down 2000.
It's now worth less than 120 in what she called a pump and dump scheme. Another dropped 40,000.
He almost lost 33K and now blames the Democrats. What do you do with guys like that, man?
What do you do with that mentality?
There's a lot of weirdos man, every time we do fucking, every time I stream on the weekends
just some of the most mentally unwell individuals come into the chat and just start spamming.
And even those who are long term community members also become mentally unwell.
Hasani, can I be your little piglet?
Let me be your prized hog, your favorite little piggy piggy hog.
me a ribbon and I'll roll around in the mud. Hasan, I'm your little price piggy. Zoyans
has been spamming this for like the last two hours. I tried and you banned me immediately.
It was banned less than five seconds after I commented the mess. Okay, you have to, again,
you're going to take another second off and you're going to use that second to consider
your priorities. Use the opportunity in the spotlight that you have wisely complaining
about being timed out for one second is not using the opportunity wisely. I'm giving you
your moment in the fuck a spotlight. Okay, you just now want to complain about the fact
that you got banned. Explain to me why any of this is appropriate to you. Okay. Explain
to me how Donald Trump making billions of dollars off of a cryptocurrency rug pool.
Is in any way shape or form beneficial for you. Why that's appropriate. Why that's actually
financially sound, why that's even legal.
My son Eric Handel said, I don't talk to him about things like this.
I think I'd be allowed to.
I'm not sure even what the status is, but I don't.
And he gives it into these like semi-blind trusts or blind trusts where people invest.
There was a story today about Jensen Wing, who's fantastic, the video, and that I have
some stock.
I think it's very small.
I think it's one of many companies that one of the big Wall Street firms
invests in.
Come on, man. You're the fucking guy on Squawk, right? Squawk box or whatever.
You know,
you know that he'll purchase positions in a stock and then straight up tweet
about it. Like, you're not going to ask him that question.
You're sitting in the oval office across the president.
You're not going to ask him about this question.
So they said, oh, Trump has some suck in there.
I don't care about that.
You know why I don't care?
Because I have a much bigger purpose.
You know, this is the Oval Office.
It's a much bigger purpose than whether or not I make one.
As an example, the President is the highest paid person in government.
And, you know, by some standards gets a lot of money.
I don't... I'm the only President, they say, that's ever given up my salary.
I'm from a place where people genuinely believe that he's stealing this money for them.
People talk unironically in my hometown about how he's stealing money from the government
and say that it's going to come back to them genuine modern Reaganomics brainwashing.
That's fucking insane.
That's even dumber than Reaganomics somehow.
How is that possible?
Yeah, investment accounts owned by President Trump engaged in more than 300 previously undisclosed
stockpurchased on April 8th, 2025.
One day before his surprise announcement that he would pause a number of his tariffs, his
financial disclosure report says, like this level of corruption has never existed.
This level of corruption doesn't exist in third world dictatorships.
Okay?
Let me tell you something.
I'm Turkish.
I grew up in Turkey.
Okay?
And even in a place like Turkey, even in a place like Turkey, the leadership has a level
of responsibility where they actually hide how they're engaging in this kind of criminal
enterprise.
Okay?
They don't do it this flagrantly.
Vladimir Putin, one of the wealthiest people on the planet.
We don't know exactly what his assets look like, right?
But even Vladimir Putin uses third parties.
And Vladimir Putin tries to hide his wealth under shell corporations, things like that,
okay?
Or family members, and it's indirect.
Donald Trump is directly doing it, and he's not even fucking hiding that he's doing it.
Okay?
There is no discretion whatsoever.
He's just openly flaunting it in your fucking face.
And what's crazy about it is that his fans don't even recognize it, or the ones that
do think it's appropriate.
I don't know how I've never encountered anything like this before I don't get a salary I gave
it up.
Yeah, people think this is bars like they they hear this and they go that's right he gave
up his salary.
He's so wonderful.
It's a lot of you know bikes I'm Sanders it's a lot of money for making money in the
stock market that makes sense.
So as far as crypto goes, and I'm just wondering, you didn't divest your business, you have
your sons running it.
I think vice presidents and presidents aren't subject really to conflict of interest laws,
but there's this notion that you need to be aware of conflict of interest.
There was a large sum of money made in crypto.
Did you know that your family business was going to engage in crypto?
Did you have anything?
Well, I was here before.
I was there before I was in office.
But the way I view crypto is a little differently.
We have to be at the top.
Otherwise, China is going to take it over.
Like, for instance, AI, we're leading substantially in AI
over China and everybody else.
I mean, we're leading.
When I was with President Xi three weeks ago,
he greeted me and they said, first words, literally, wow,
you've really done a great job.
You've really, because this country was dead.
We had a dead country.
Now we have the hottest country in the world.
Look at AI or the way president. She told me wow you really stolen so much. It's impressive
Oh is if we're not gonna do it China's gonna get it most likely China somebody else Japan is somebody else and
I want to read it's a big industry chiptoken you call it an industry, but it's a big deal
Holy fuck sounds like a good sounds a good business as no one gives a shit that Pelosi has been doing for decades
Seems a little TDS to start caring now
more stock trades in one year than Pelosi in her entire time in Congress.
I mean, this is also bullshit, right? Because Nancy Pelosi did not do the trades herself.
You have to look at Paul Pelosi. But even then, I'm willing to bet that Donald Trump's
stock trades are way higher. Okay?
But it doesn't even matter. Like, fuck them both, okay?
That's the defense law, are you?
The affordability is the number one issue, Congressman, for Americans right now.
Majority of them say they continue to struggle to make ends meet.
More than half of Americans say they can't afford to go out for a nice dinner.
And in the middle of this affordability crisis, President Trump revealed in mandatory financial
disclosure forms that he and his family reaped in $2 billion in his first year in office.
The president denies he's cashing in on the presidency, but that number is stunning.
More than all the presidents in US history combined.
Is that going to make it harder for Republicans like you to argue that he has their affordability
first in mind and not his own?
Well, I've been very clear from my vantage point, being in elected office is a great
honor.
It is a service.
I am one of the few members of Congress that does not trade stocks.
I probably have among the lowest net worth of any member.
And I'm fine with that because I'm not interested in making money off of my constituents or
this job.
I'm interested in doing the job and serving my constituents.
The fact is, when you look at these issues and housing is just the latest example, where
where I led on this bill with Chairman Hill and Chairman Flood, six of my housing bills
are in this package that will become law, whether the president signs it or not.
And I am deeply focused on the issues that matter to my constituents and how to make
it more affordable for them.
Living in New York, I can tell you, one-party democratic rule in New York has not resulted
in affordability.
You totally raised about 58 percent.
Yeah, you didn't answer my question. You don't see a problem with the president of the United States making two billion dollars in his first year in office
But as I said, I don't think people should be profiting in office. So he shouldn't be profiting
Nobody should Nancy Pelosi shouldn't she's made you know millions upon millions of dollars. I said nobody should
Whether it's the president or you know former speaker pull a call his ass out, bro
Are you going to disavow his endorsement of you now?
Come on, Lawler.
Oh, see, nobody should be making millions upon millions of dollars or billions of dollars.
Obviously, the president has existing businesses that his sons are operating and they continue
to.
But the fact is that from my vantage point, I am focused on my constituents and the work
that we are doing to deliver for them.
He made 3,700 trades in just the last three months. Okay. So now that we heard from Trump,
what if, sorry, wait, let's, uh, let's finish this off. And then we're going to hear from coffee
Zilla, void Zilla, who covered this extensively. This is right in his wheelhouse. Uh, the last
couple of years is radicalized coffee Zilla, our boy. We're not going to do it. China's going to
to get it. Most likely China, it's somebody else. Japan is somebody else. And I want to
re... It's a big industry.
So if I don't steal cryptocurrency and hard-earned cash from my stupid fans, China will do it
in my stead.
Chiptail is a recording industry, but it's a big deal. And crypto is a big deal. You look
at it in the way it's grown over the years. You're believers, you don't have believers,
know whatever it is, but it's a big deal. And anything we do, I want to be number one
in crypto, and we're also number one in AI.
In the disclosure this week, the amount of money that you and the family made in crypto,
it was an outsized number. That was just asking, were you know about the crypto venture, so
that was just something that...
By the way, I could know about it. I didn't. I mean, there's nothing illegal, there's nothing
wrong with it, I could know.
I could know about it, but I didn't.
It's pretty hard to make money while everyone else loses money in a market.
You either have to know something or there's something nefarious afoot.
The best example I can think of is Michael Burry shorting the housing market in 2008,
making tons of money while a lot of people lost money.
In that case, he made an informed bet.
But you can also think of other times,
like when somebody scams a bunch of people,
they make money while everyone else loses money.
And my favorite example of that might be SafeMoon,
where people were told,
oh, you're gonna go safely to the moon with this investment.
In reality, all those people lost money
while executives sold and made millions of dollars.
And the question is, which one is this?
This is a chart from Reuters,
who calculated that investors have lost
about $2.28 billion.
That's on the crypto projects of the president to be clear,
while the president has made about $2.29 billion
up to the current day.
And I know that's pretty shocking, and you know, even I,
I kind of am a little skeptical when I see calculations,
you know, where are these numbers from,
you know, who's providing these numbers.
So that's why I was really happy to see
that the new financial disclosure for the president
has recently come out.
It's 927 pages and I decided, great,
we can get to the bottom of what the real story is
at least for 2025.
We don't have to guess, we don't have to go off
anyone else's numbers.
We can just look at the raw data, right?
And so I went ahead and I pulled up, you know,
the 927 page report of the president's assets.
And, you know, I started taking a look
to see how much money was made in the crypto markets.
And the answer that I came to,
along with basically everyone else,
like the Wall Street Journal,
is it's about $1.4 billion.
And in total, about $2.2 billion for the year of 2025
in total revenue. Hogs will look at that and sincerely tell you he's just a good businessman.
And it's ironic because again, 60% of it is coming straight from either foreign investors
and criminals that he's giving pardons to because there's no like tracking of of where
this crypto is coming from or there's no like accountability towards that, right?
And then the rest is just ill-gotten gains from weirdly perfectly placed bets in the
stock market.
Which is about a 3.5x increase from the prior year before entering the White House.
Previously, they made about $622 million, and now they made $2.2 billion total.
Now you'll notice that most of that money is from crypto, about 63% actually.
And that's odd because, as I said, crypto-
Yeah, odd.
Yeah, crypto's down. How did he do that?
So is down. It's a market that has lost a ton of value. You can see since 2025
it's gone from about
3.5 trillion or so to about 2 trillion dollars, which is a giant loss. I mean like most people who invested in crypto over that time period
have lost money. So how is it that the president has not in fact has made
most of his revenue for the year from crypto when everyone else is down and
this is where I want to introduce you to this market right here this is the
Trump coin it's the official meme coin of the president where we actually change
the SEC rules to you know make some of this okay by the way some of the
guidelines and you know you can see that it peaked basically right around the
inauguration and has been yeah um I think it was under Trump won initially where um there
were like they were supposed to these meme coins were supposed to be treated like securities
right and and that that was cast aside down only ever since essentially now
the coin is worth $1.71 so you know you would think that if the
president holds a bunch of these coins he would have also lost money at least
on paper well actually you can check the financial disclosures and to see exactly
how much money he has made in the form of royalties. You can see it's 635 million dollars.
So how does that make sense? He's making money while his fans, the people who are buying this,
are down massively. This is the strange thing about this financial disclosure. You really get the
sense that the president has found a way to make a ton of money from a market that is down while
He is up. It's just, it's like, entirely bizarre.
Yeah, meme coin price jumps after launch, meme coin price drops, Trump organization
secures $2.29 billion.
And, you know, he was actually asked about this, like, oh, you know, there's all these
reports about, you've profited from the presidency, etc.
And the defense has always been like, well, you know, I'm aligned with you.
I, you know, I'm making money, but you're also making money because the markets are going up.
you're profiting off the company.
Well, you know why I'm profiting?
Because the stock market's gone up.
Everybody's profiting.
Have you ever, you ever 401K?
Yeah, it's strange because that's not,
you did not make that money off stock market.
You made it off crypto.
How's your 401K done?
This is the cope we always see.
Sure, the president's making a ton of money,
but you know, everybody's making a ton of money.
So his interests are ultimately aligned with ours.
And, you know, it makes sense, he's got some stocks, you've got some stocks, we're all going
up together. But this is a totally different situation, because again, crypto is down. You
can ask any of your friends who own crypto, especially the ones who own Trump coin, they
are not doing well right now. Okay, they are not having a good time. I mean, I'll be honest, like,
that one is deserving. Like, I don't, I like, that one is like, I don't really feel bad for you.
You know what I mean? If you bought Trump coin and you lost, if you put the house and the farm on the
Trump coin and you lost it all, like you fucking deserve it. Like that is the, the best example
of someone who is too stupid to have that money in their pockets.
Yeah, Trump investment accounts bought over 300 stocks day before major tariffs pause. Yeah.
now. It's truly pretty funny that the Trump family profits are kind of a one-to-one reflection
of the money people have lost investing in their obviously an incredibly stupid investment
crypto products and stocks. Yeah. Yeah, you got conned. You got straight up conned. But
honestly, can you even call it a con? He might as well have said, I'm going to fuck you.
This is the I'm going to fuck you coin. This is the you're going to lose all your money
And people still were like, no, he deserves it.
He's going to put that money to better use my president.
Our highest government official in the land
is making billions of dollars in income.
It's a very odd thing.
It's like what you expect almost from Coinbase
or like Kraken, people who make money from just the fees
because ultimately what they care about is trading volume.
So they can still make money even in a down market
but pretty much everyone else is going to get screwed.
Funny enough, someone actually looked
at the financials of Coinbase
and they found out that Trump out earned
the biggest listed crypto US firms in 2025,
showing that he made about 1.4 billion
and Coinbase made $1.26 billion.
Now remember, this is a company that's sold job
is to sell crypto, have you trade crypto,
they have thousands of employees and they made less,
which I think is just the craziest statistic
out of this whole thing,
Even though, you know, it's probably not apples to apples.
Yeah, these guys are the, these are the guys who were like,
ah, the taxes are theft by the way.
It's like, bitch, you literally opened your wallet voluntarily to this guy.
Pulls right, you know, there's a difference between, you know,
the earnings of a company versus a president's financial disclosure statement.
I'll just say that right up front, but it is wild to think about.
You've got a company who's sold job it is to sell crypto, do all this kind of
stuff, getting out grifted by a guy who launches a meme coin right before running for president.
I have to ask, you know, is this the new normal? Can we just expect that every president will
have a-
Yeah, it is a dark money contribution scheme, and it's also international. That's the difference.
That's the biggest difference is that this is all, a lot of this stuff is just bribes,
okay? It's bribes coming from the United Arab Emirates. It's bribes coming from numerous,
parties around the world. That's why it's so bountiful. I mean, obviously, there's a lot of
dumbfuck Americans who did not get the benefit of bribing the president.
But that's why that number is so bad. Down only crypto coin, but they made hundreds of millions
of dollars from it. Is that our new normal here in America? I certainly hope not, but you just
can't get around the hard facts that are in this disclosure. Here's one of the other major ways,
by the way, he made money, which is the selling of world liberty financial tokens and various equity
in that deal. They made hundreds of millions of dollars from that as well. And of course,
don't forget the reporting that a big stake in world liberty financial was sold right before
taking office. And it really feels like that's mostly the pattern here is despite being, you know,
the crypto president, the guy who's going to take Bitcoin to the moon and safely guard your
retirement plan in actuality when you see what the Trump Organization actually does with most of
these coins, they try to sell off pieces of their equity stake, somehow cash out for some real value
instead of holding on like the true believers. That isn't to say they don't still hold some of
their stakes, but a lot of it, a lot of the profit here was because they sold out. And again, you
You know, a lot of these things are down bad, like really.
So yeah, I just wanted to talk about this weird phenomenon
that really you usually see in scams,
although I'm not making any such accusation,
where somebody can be way up while investors are way down.
And sometimes that's because somebody knows something.
Sometimes it's because people are being extracted from,
people are being grifted on.
I'm not going to make a determination of which one it is.
Ultimately, because there's really nothing we can do about it.
Actually, recently there was an interview with some reporters who have been covering,
you know, the new changes in laws.
And what they talk about is basically there's no ways to punish this stuff anyways.
This is Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan from The New York Times.
Is there something illegal going on in your view?
It's an interesting question because Trump himself was granted sweeping immunity, as
all presidents were with the Supreme Court's immunity ruling in 2024. So Trump is essentially
beyond the reach of the law in terms of actions. I mean, there's a sense among Trump and his allies
and his inner circle that with a very friendly Justice Department run by Trump's own former
personal lawyer with sweeping immunity from the Supreme Court, with an intention to use the part
empower more expansively potentially than any president has ever used it. I don't think that they
feel any real concern about, um, illegality. Yeah, I wouldn't be too worried either. I'm not holding
my breath for, you know, any of this, even on the periphery, uh, to be punished. Honestly, I think
what is just the most interesting about this new era is how blatant it all is, how it's all just
It's like they're not doing like the Clinton Foundation type shit at all. They're just straight up doing it in your face
There is no there's no reason for discretion. There's a very clear-cut like pay-per-part and scheme too
It's fucking unbelievable
Because every time my kids do if they invest in a stock or they go and do a bill that anything they do
Because the presidency is so powerful so big
everything if they buy a cupcake company well the energy to make the cupcakes is
you know sort of like how's my energy policy so therefore you have a conflict
almost anything they do if they want to buy a truck if they want to buy you know
they buy an energy efficient truck they have inside information so it's pretty
tough in that sense. I tell my kids stay away from as much as you can stay away from but they also
have a life you know they feel badly away from my kids because every time my kids do if they invest
in a stock or they go and do a bill. I tell them to stay away from the size of it but they can't
what are you gonna do? You can join us for now exclusively at the table.
Anyway, here's the Trump supporter.
Reuters tracked down Trump supporters who invested in his meme coin and lost money.
What they say will probably not surprise you because they're so fucking stupid.
These are two investors into the Trump coin and these are Trump supporters.
If Trump was putting his name behind it, it must be a legitimate investment.
This is a woman who spoke to Reuters.
She put $2,000 of her savings into the Trump meme.
At the end of May, her Trump holding was worth less than $120.
She now thinks it was just a pump and dump scheme.
The second investor, Matt, a 45-year-old machinist in Indiana, put $40,000 into Trump family
tokens.
When a stock has presidential backing in a way, at least from his sons, you would think
it would go up.
shares have dropped 79% in value since he bought them for a loss of about $32,700.
He does not blame the Trump family.
He said he believes Democrats and anti-Trump investors are taking short positions.
These are two investors into the Trump coin and these are Trump supporters.
If Trump was putting his name behind it, it must be a...
right. Yeah. That is fucking amazing. Yeah. Biden shorted his position. San just talked
about the heat related ailments with Trump State Fair 44 patients 11 transported seven
of those on advanced life support. That's where these guys are at, man. That's where
these motherfuckers are at. What do you do? What do you do with these people? What do
you do with these people? Newsome knows best. Think of the 25 gifted subs. They're so unbelievably
cooked.
that the president and his financial disclosures came out and it showed that he made 1.2 billion
on cryptocurrency, on his personal cryptocurrency. Do you think that that's appropriate for the
president to be doing while he's in office?
I actually don't. No, I don't think that's appropriate. I think, you know, you should,
if you're in the office, take your salary, your investments are in the hands of third
parties that you don't have the influence over.
I think he should just concentrate on being president.
I think he has enough money already.
I think he has enough money already.
I do too, but those folks are people who voted for Donald Trump 18 months ago.
And that interview was done by our White House reporter, Laura Baren Lopez, we're back.
They should have asked him if they're going to vote for him again, because they would
have said yes, by the way.
That's who these people are.
Okay. That's what's so amazing about these fucking hogs is that they will openly say
like, yeah, Trump fucked a lot of people over. It's really messed up. I can't believe
it. And then they'll be like, and I can't wait to vote for him again. Even if it's illegal,
I will be illegally voting for him.
I will be writing his name down.
Because I have no mind of my own.
I'm an idiot.
I'm the dumbest Rube, the biggest sucker of all time.
Anyway.
Let's hear from Alex Carpalinger, CEO, another psycho.
Well, Alex Carpalinger is co-founder and CEO and CMBC's Seema Modi, who covers Palantir,
joins us and tell us about the deal with India.
There's so many things I think we all want to talk about, but let's get to the NVIDIA deal first.
Well, look, because I have so much respect for NVIDIA and Jensen Wong, I'm going to try to keep this more adult than I usually do.
But the truth is, if you want to know how this came together, from my perspective, it
was, there's a lot of technical issues who controls the models, who controls the weights,
who controls the value of your business.
But, you know, we're sitting on critical infrastructure across America, Ukraine, Israel.
Everyone who uses LLMs on the battlefield runs on top of our ontology.
And our clients are just, to say they're unhappy with the Frontier Labs is to say I'm welcome
at the Berkeley faculty.
It's like there's just a level of discomfort
and loss of trust that also made it really, really...
Unpack that, what do you mean by that?
Well, you have, okay, so when you're using
large language models, they are, it's like a,
at this point, everyone technical realizes
they're like a critical resource to make them valuable
in an enterprise like battlefield context
or regulated context or manufacturing.
You have to have what's called an application layer.
We have this thing called ontology that now everyone's copying.
But to fact though, it takes a large language model.
It makes it safe and useful and precise.
So safe because it doesn't touch your unlearning data.
Safe because it prevents the large language model
from caching your data and replicating your business.
Safe because it doesn't transfer your IP of how to fight,
secret data, top secret data, or in a clinical context.
So the general way these things were soldering in,
these people are, like Sam and Dario, there's nothing more fun than debating Dario on private.
So I'm not throwing shade at them, but something has gone completely wrong and the basic view
among enterprises in this country is I'm going to chill lax and waste my time with tokens.
I'm going to get no value and they're going to get my IP.
That sounds like shade.
Okay.
And not just shade, it sounds like you're saying these things.
This is reporting.
Okay.
This is reporting that I've literally,
against my own interests, called,
these are, like, I'm profiting from this, right?
So the reality is, you may not like this
at my former school, Haverford, or at Berkeley,
but enterprises in this country trust and love us,
especially ones that are involved
in critical infrastructure, both public and private.
Okay, so I want for those countries,
we're coming up to the life force,
I want for us and our friends across the globe,
to have the very best tech resources.
In fact, the whole secret of Palantir
is the forward-to-plane model, the products
that have been five years ahead, that you know you've
been with me for a long time.
Everyone said FDEs were services.
They said we don't even know what an ontology is.
That's the only thing people talk about now.
The secret was we delivered the best things
for the warfighters.
Those warfighters have serious trust issues,
but it's not just the work vis-a-vis frontier labs.
Then you have my enterprises in the private sector
who have the same issues like,
why would they get access to my data
if they're gonna build my alpha?
Why wouldn't I control the weights?
Why would, and that's where you get this partnership.
What would aligns me with NVIDIA
and I think is what the technical customers want,
which is control over their compute,
their models, their data stack and their alpha.
they want to know they own the means of production it's not being transferred
to someone else
they're not interested in some fake deploy co
the somehow is deploying tokens
that transfers the alpha to a third party
and the jigs up and so we have to figure out a way both
product but we are part of our products are agnostic we we
have no idea what the fuck stress talking about
what is he saying? I'm trying to comprehend what he's saying and I can't tell if it's
just like, like, is he saying that Palantir is responsible for a lot of critical infrastructure
and a lot of like war related initiatives.
And they've been at the forefront.
And he's warning.
About something or another.
With NVIDIA.
I can't tell, I just feel like he's not, I mean his demeanor is not giving me a lot of
confidence.
And the things that I can understand about what Palantir does, at least from the way
he's talking about it, what's terrifying is, what's fascinating here is if you listen
Closet is that Alice Karp believes that Congress is going to implement a wealth tax in risk in reaction to the AI hype
Dumerism
From Sam Altman and Dario, so he's urging everyone to dial down the rhetoric
He has put his finger on what is arguably the most important fight of our moment the extreme constitutional wealth in a few hands
He's right that this is the moment for the public to react or the public to act
We now sell a product to customers that allows you to switch from model to model because and we're completely
agnostic, but we need to rebuild trust and that trust is going to happen where everyone
gets to ask and answer basic questions. Who owns the data? Where is it cashed? Are the
prompts secure? Is this being transferred to you? Are you being comp- Okay, if it was
so valuable, let's say I can make you a billion dollars tomorrow. Wouldn't I say, I'll make
you a billion dollars and I want 30%? Why are they charging for tokens if it's so valuable?
So then Alex, if the key from what I'm hearing you say is a secure American-born open-source
model, how quickly can your model compete with the front-tiered models in terms of
reasoning and agentic AI tasks?
What I am claiming, obviously, slightly true but slightly self-centered, is it's the model
plus an application layer plus compute.
It is really all three.
So in our jargon, it's the value, the reason, okay, just look at our financials.
The reason why everyone is chillaxing with bad financials and growth while losing money
is the client refuses to pay the true cost.
The two places that actually make money, like profit, free cash flow, are our application
layer called ontology and compute.
Okay, what I am not just claiming, we can take an open model and in the classified or
non-classified context, get it to the point of a frontier model.
But A, you control the weights.
So what is the true cost, not just what you're paying.
The true cost is what you make minus what you lose, meaning the value of your business.
But we can get the frontier application to be exactly the same as a Frontier model without
the risk of transferring the alpha of your business to another.
By the way, you could do this with a Frontier closed model too, but then the clients have
to be able to ask and answer very basic questions.
Are you keeping the data?
Are you going to enter our business?
In the classified context, when the department of war goes to you and says, I need this application,
do they get to control the weights to do it or do you get to control the weights?
Are we really going to outsource the battlefield of this country to the consensus view in Silicon
Valley?
That is effing insane.
And by the way, every single enterprise in this country in private, a lot of them don't
want to speak in public because it gets outsourced to the neurodivergent crazy person that apparently
needs on drugs, the one thing I don't do.
OK, so that's my role.
But I'm telling you, in this country, at every single
enterprise I deal with, these people are living.
They're like, I am paying for tokens that create no value.
These people are stealing the weights and alpha of my
business, and they're creating a wealth tax that does not
help the poor.
It just punishes, starts with the billionaires.
Every single person at this table is going to be paying a
wealth tax only to punish us.
And the reason for it is because these models have been completely over,
irresponsibly over sailed.
And the sale is, it's dangerous for everyone, which is why I can give it to
all your adversaries, but I can't give it to the Department of War, or I can't
safely give it to an enterprise in this country without being certain that the
alphabet business could transfer to this model tomorrow, i.e. I have no business,
no job.
It's gone pretty angry.
No, this is the voice of American business that is being channeled through me.
and i'm telling you it is it is absolutely a problem for this country
because we are on the cutting edge
of every single a i technology
if you're going to triply oversell something
and the and by the way the enterprises are just tired of it
but but but i just admit i want you everybody watching this
to test what i'm saying especially investors who think somehow this is
working
going to turn out to be former American.
The late.
The entourage would intentionally damaging the reflecting pool in
Washington. He said.
Here's the 20 minutes where he starts praising Israel.
I don't care about Sky News Australia.
Where is the 20 minute video where he starts praising Israel?
Terrible AI bubble and that we're going to in a quarter or two or three quarters now
we're going to hear that big enterprises are canceling their subscriptions to these products
or that they build out is going to slow because this is the tragedy of it.
The reality of compute plus ontology plus model is changing the course of history.
Ask the Ukrainians.
Ask the Israelis.
I know he's pro is real.
I just don't, I don't understand what he's, it seems like he's worried about the AI bubble
popping.
It seems like that's his big fear, is that the AI bubble is on the verge of popping and
And this entire business model relies on people obviously continuously using AI.
They use AI extensively in Palantir.
And Palantir is like a middle manager, right?
Palantir is like a middle manager between like the LLMs and the companies.
So it's not like they have their own large, they don't have their own AI model.
They're simply taking existing AI models and putting it into a surveillance platform.
What they do is data analysis and data compilations, right?
I can't tell if he's just like mad that due to some of the restrictions coming from the
European Union, that his enterprise models are going to be restricted and they're going
to have some like guardrails and that's going to ruin his like mass surveillance business.
He's also worried that this is going to cause investors to pull out and lose confidence.
And then right at the precipice of that lack of investor confidence, right at the precipice
of that bubble bursting, there's also an imminent wealth tax.
And he's saying this is like a complete civilizational collapse for people like him, and he's trying
to make it seem as though this is going to have, oh god I can't read all this dude come
on, too long of a fucking twitter post.
Give me an article and I'll read it, but this is not, I'm not reading that as a fucking
Communism has never worked except in this place.
Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help!
Stop.
You scare that people are losing faith in AI because not living up to the insane hype.
Also, regular people are starting to absolutely hate AI overall,
and it doesn't help to open it, and thropic do the fear, hype, saving how crazy their stuff is. Yeah.
That's what I got.
You see he got the whole packages and video servers model and app on top so companies
can keep their data private as a sales pitch he can sell to everyone all open and entrop
and enthropic can't.
Or they only sell access to a model.
Ed Zitron did a full interview talking about covering my bear case against generative AI
open-ass questionable finances as lack of ROI back from two days ago. Let's take a look.
Thanks for joining us here. So, you know, we don't really know at this point in time, right?
What the actual financial picture of these companies look like. Well,
they wouldn't be the first with bad financial profiles to go public.
Well, they'd be the first to be this bad other than we work. And even then, this is so much
worse than that. Open AI burned $20.9 billion in 2025. That's the origin of financials that
that the FT and I reported.
And the problem with these companies is
their margins are getting worse
and they actually, their costs increased linearly
with their revenues.
There is no proof that they can improve their margins,
no amount of specialist silicon
or supposed Vera Rubens will bring these costs down.
And we're at a point now where OpenAI is now
potentially pushing their IPO to 2027
because they couldn't get a trillion dollar valuation.
It's clear that people are wising up
to the problem of generating to AI,
which is there's not really a business there.
So that was something that was discussed yesterday
on SquawkBox, the comments from Alex Karp, the Palantir CEO,
making their rounds.
I think we have a clip to take a listen.
The general way these things were sold,
and again, these people are, Sam and Dario,
there's nothing more fun than debating Dario in private.
So I'm not throwing shade at them,
but something has gone completely wrong.
And the basic view among enterprises in this country
is I'm going to chillax and waste my time with tokens.
I'm going to get no value, and they're going to get my IP.
Yeah, so he was being sarcastic there,
this idea that enterprises are gawking at this idea
that they're going to be paying all this for tokens.
They're not going to be able to control the data usage
and how the data is used, and they're not
able to really measure ROI.
What do you make of those comments?
I mean, they agree with him, but he's right.
These companies, Anthropocon Open AI, they encourage waste.
But he actually said that these companies don't charge on outcomes, they charge on success
because you can't with large language models.
They're inherently hallucination prone, that's proven by open-eyed themselves.
And so they encourage ways, they want you to spend a lot of money, and then they try
and pilfer your ideas.
Anthropic already tried it with Claude Design with Figma, and I believe they have a relationship
with the company, and Dylan Field even said he was shocked by it.
And what's crazy is as well is their copies of these companies are not particularly good,
they don't make great software.
You'll notice that both an anthropic CEO, Dari Amade, and Sam Woodman have both said,
we can't wait to see what you build with this.
Well, that's because they don't know what you can build with this.
They want everyone else to do their innovation for them, spend as much as they can on tokens,
and then take whatever's left, except they lose too much money for that strategy to actually
work.
So then what do you think should happen?
Do you believe that these are companies that should be nationalized?
As we read in the intro, there's discussions, reportedly, that the administration and potentially
some sort of sovereign wealth fund would take a 5% stake in open AI.
I mean, is that a situation that you would like to see happen,
or do you think that's more disruptive?
No, I don't think there's any need to.
They talk about, I think Sam Orman said,
well, we can share the benefits of AI and the profits of AI.
What profits?
What returns?
That 5% will have to get congressional approval.
The sovereign wealth fund is still an idea at this point.
But fundamentally, large language models are not to the future.
The only reason Big Tech is investing in this
is that they've run out of hypergrowth ideas.
They don't have a next iPhone.
They don't have a new Google search.
So they've put over a trillion dollars
with trillions more to come into a kind of a dead-end industry
because when that ends, they'll have to admit
that they don't have anything else.
So you think AI, LLMs overall, is a dead-end.
You've seen no business model here.
You've seen no utility from AI.
What's the weger?
I see this as, in the future, as a boring hardware-based
business, the kind of the Oracle licensing hardware model.
I think this is a 10 to $30 billion TAM industry pretending
be a trillion dollar one and because everyone's propping it up because they have no
yes it looks like unexpectedly pound there of all companies being quite the canary in the big
tech mind yes they obviously just for self-serving and cynical purposes and yes they're of course
also very much part of the problem and not the solution but it doesn't make them wrong sometimes
it takes a vulture to tell you something is die somebody is dying
There are AI truthers in here that fucking hate Ed Zitron and there are Ed Zitron truthers in here
who love everything that he says. I feel like I'm not as big as a skeptic as Ed is, but the
basic premise that he outlines is correct as far as like the entire business model of these
these AI companies are, he's right. I mean, it's just, it's waste. It's, it's propping a bed up
that gets to a degree where it's too big to fuck and fail. So now
people have already dumped so many asses into it that
that they just have to kind of keep pumping it.
It's a sunk cost. It's a bubble. And there's nothing really valuable that's coming from
it. I do, however, also believe that there could be something valuable that comes of
it, maybe not from the generative AI angle. I don't think that's real. But yeah, all it
does is literally cause companies to use tokens. And then if there's anything valuable, they're
collecting all that data. If there's anything valuable, they just steal it. It's fucking
nuts. Also, all of this AI should be open source and not for profit. It literally does
not exist without sucking up every piece of data available on the internet and even beyond
the internet. I don't even understand how we haven't decided that this is like this entire
thing should be open source. It's all stolen data anyway.
Hyper growth ideas. Everyone's just kind of pretending it's the K-fabe of the tech industry
that really has run out of ideas. It's funny you mentioned Oracle because people were quoting
the annual, yesterday, quote, some of our customers, OpenAI, may be highly leveraged.
We may experience risks of non-payment in our dealings with such parties.
Are we going to see this from a market standpoint first in shares of hyperscalers?
I think we might, but Oracle is a particularly scary one because they are building 7.1 gigawatts
of capacity just for one customer.
They even said in their annual report that the risk was they might not get paid.
AI only loses money and I think I estimate it's like 75 billion dollars of revenue annually
that they will have to pay for the full Stargate data center project in annual compute revenue.
Open AI can't afford that and if they can't, Larry Ellison can't afford to pay back those bills
and Oracle stock will be in jeopardy along with the margin loans that Mr. Ellison holds.
It's genuinely dangerous and it's dangerous across the board for neoclouds, for hyperscalers,
for every associated party of the LLM industry.
Well, Uber burned through its entire 20 to 30s ad budget in four months.
Now it's chief operating officer is questioning whether it's worth it.
There's also this, yeah, rare book dealers fear tech firms are destroying obscure editions
to train AI models, secondhand book sales across Europe including in the Netherlands
are raising concerns over AI companies buying large numbers of obscure and often rare books,
the alleged intent behind such shopping is to scan and destroy them for AI trading, to
destroy them.
Genuinely literal fear bait.
Oh here Ed Zitron is a cope grifter, Zitron is a cope monger, you can steal information
that's available on the public internet.
I don't understand how every new meta, every new like piece of tech, there are
always community members in here who just lose sight of their own fucking
personal values and, and we'll fall, we'll fall for the new scheme.
I lost so many fucking fans during NFT gate, man.
There were so many goddamn fans in here that literally were like, dude,
You just don't want us to make money. Fuck you. You just don't want us to make money. You're fucking idiot
NFTs are the real truth, and it was mind-boggling to me
It was mind-boggling. I was like, how can you not see it? It's like the purest expression of graft like it's so unbelievably fake
I've made thousands of lifelong haters during NFT gate
And now, yeah I know NFTs are a scam, okay you're saying that now, but you're also simultaneously
propping up another scam.
I lost hella money and I'm still a fan, yeah you should have listened to me at the time.
And you wouldn't have lost hella money.
By far the best example was when Chad genuinely wanted you to register the deed to your house
to NFT.
The argument was you can begin the wave of decentralizing the concept of home ownership.
I know.
I think some people just want to live in a reality where they get duped.
want to get strung along through life without having any symbols of real thought led like
sheep I don't get it.
I joined our NFT timeship was wild and a bunch of weirdos approached me to make some as well
of course dude you know how many fucking companies wanted to give me millions of god damn dollars
to do my own NFTs to fuck you each and every one of you.
Some content creators who are desperate for cash because they have a fucking court case
revolving around the distribution of revenge porn, burning a hole in their fucking wallets
will take those donations, take those sponsorships, whether it be an NFT sponsorship or whether
it be Cal-Chi, for example, okay?
I'm not one of those people and so many of these motherfuckers will always do I already
do do dog dog I literally fucking I gave you a 30 minute time out okay because you keep
spamming your own analysis on Illinois nine for the propelestine progressive boat split
I timed you out for 30 minutes, and I thought you would understand after that time out that
you would stop spamming this thing, okay?
Please stop spamming.
Just the Polymerga Studios and the Family Biz?
The Family Biz?
You think I'm a fucking young Turks employee?
What are you, crazy?
There's plenty of things I don't agree with, Jankon.
That's one of them.
what do you mean? Remember when D-Man was shilling NFT to his audience?
Well, I fucked that guy. The day you'd accept the sponsor to expose your
rear-raise would be the day I stopped watching you. I know. I don't do it
because of my own fucking principles, but those guys will always be like,
well, he got sponsored by a Chinese game company that had loot boxes
the same as a gambling ad. Okay dude, sure. Sure buddy. Yeah, no that definitely takes
away the moral wound. I think it's actually linked to a lack of financial literacy. They
see the tech and all this shit and they don't see the bullshit financial side of everything.
All this is speculation. Literally everything is a casino. Leftist accounts of finance professionals
rise up. LLMs are not the be all end all of artificial intelligence and compute will
be used for other things as Zitron is a cop seller, but he's right. The companies are
not handling a token waste. Well, skill issue in my opinion. Okay. This is a little bit
closer. I don't think he's a cop seller, but this is a little bit closer to my worldview
as well. LLMs in generative AI is the consumer-facing side and the business-facing side of the business
model. They need a lot of data. They need a lot of input in order to tweak their models.
They need to suck up every piece of data that's readily available on the internet and also off
the internet. Machine learning in general is very useful. Yes, and there are already existing use
case for machine learning, especially with guardrails, especially when it comes to,
especially when it comes to the field of medicine. Okay. Like there's, there's good stuff out there
for trying to show me useful AI. You already use useful AI. You don't even realize this
artificial intelligence is also not actually artificial intelligence, like fucking a robot
bought with his own brain. Like many tools that people use in Photoshop already have
some level of AI. Okay. Generative AI on the other hand, generative AI or LLMs are, I mean,
there's some use cases for them too. But the way that they are deployed, the way that people
talk about it because they needed to increase the, because they needed to get people to buy
in and get excited about it. The most common uses for LLM and gender AI is awful. Okay,
it's just dog shit. It's way, it also happens to be the most wasteful aspect. So the thing
that's causing hype around this new piece of technology that they're developing also
happens to be the most useless aspect of it and also happens to be the most wasteful aspect
of it.
So if they don't have some sort of breakthrough technology in the process in the next year
or so, or in the next couple of years or so, eventually people are going to go, what the
the fuck that we dump trillions of dollars for this nonsensical bullshit, it got us nowhere.
It ruined the water supply. It also jacked up electricity prices. What the fuck is going
on?
But given the way that our stock market works nowadays on a hope and a dream and on copium
fumes. So much of the major GDP creators are now directly involved with AI in one-way shape
or form. As a matter of fact, all the GDP growth that came from the American economy directly
came from AI and AI related companies. So we're fucked. If that bubble bursts, everything pops.
Everything is destroyed. So they just have to kind of go along with it over and over again. It's like literally become too big to fail
The worst element of AI beyond its impact on the environment beyond jacking up
the electricity prices
Uh, is also, one, it's not technically reliable, while it's still being mass-deployed for surveillance.
So not only is it not reliable, it's already being utilized for mass surveillance.
It fucking sucks.
Oracle, the tip of the spear on that or is there something else?
I think it could be the neoclouds because with this rumor of Metta selling their AI
capacity, I think companies like Core, even especially Nebius and Iran and Cypher Mining
and all of them, Terral Wolf as well, they're basically outgrowts and subsidiaries of NVIDIA.
NVIDIA is now, according to the information, going to be paying them to rent back their
GPUs when they install them in the data center.
This is something that only happens in an industry without diverse and real demand.
META is an interesting case in this instance because they don't as yet have the third party
cloud services revenue propping it up, but people point to their own top line having
accelerated in the first quarter of this year from like 23% to 33%.
Yeah, all birds.
Bro, this is the same thing.
Okay, look, look, look, look.
This is the same shit that happened with NFTs, okay, with cryptocurrency, with meme coins.
than with NFTs. Because the stock market is all purely speculative at this point, with
no interest in fundamentals whatsoever, it's all hype as fuck. Any company that says,
oh, we're moving into AI, we're moving into the AI space sees a big boost out of it. But
There's no longevity for these companies at all.
Bro, come on, they are not comparable.
No, 100%.
It's the same driving principles, the shiny new thing.
If you say you're shifting,
if you're shifting to AI in some capacity,
then there's a lot of people that invest.
There's a lot of people that think,
oh, this is gonna be great.
Presumably because they're implementing these AI tools or somehow making their platform
more productive along those lines.
And at the same time, it shows you the fallback option.
We're creating all this capacity, even if it's not a business model.
The capacity is there.
We've gotten the kind of the power and the compute in place.
Maybe that helps society down the road.
Well, the thing is with Metzor is I don't necessarily...
Yeah, the true cost tokens are on fucking rail right now. They're subsidized heavily like 4,000% you can get
8k or more tokens for 200 bucks when they start charging the actual API price
They will be completely unprofitable for companies to use
Yeah, but it's it's one big Ponzi scheme
So they just as long as they can keep raising as long as they can keep fundraising
Do these massive fundraisers
And and get additional investment they can prop up
They can prop up to the unbelievably costly tokens. Because the computing power to generate these
tokens or to utilize the tokens is far higher than what the consumer side is paying for it,
what the business side is paying for it. Because if it was $8,000 a pop, then yeah,
no one would fucking buy it, especially because once again, there's no guarantee that it will
work, it can hallucinate. Imagine paying $8,000 per token, and then you're using it on what?
Like something that's just objectively wrong. Okay, what do you do then? You just burned $8,000,
no company, no fucking company would involve themselves with that.
That is the ultimate point that Ed Zetron makes, and that is correct. That's a, that his assessment
There is correct
You agree AI is not driving matters revenue growth the fact that they have an affected monopoly in social media is
Microsoft Google and Meta and Amazon are all doing a funny little I want to call it a scam
But it's a a trick where because they're other businesses are still growing
But they never disclose their AI revenues everyone conflates that with AI driving their growth in reality
There are businesses are growing and AI is losing them. Oh, here we go. We got another one
This is it. This is exactly what happened with the NFTs, bro. Look look look look look
Do you think open as LMS are gonna be trained with biases when it comes to certain political topics? Yes, I do
Is there a way around the environmental hazard for AI models in the future models are only gonna be better
Which would cause even more harm
Hassan Abiyou are the same as Charlie Kirk
You guys are the same people on the opposite sides of the coin same coin different sides AI is not a Ponzi scheme
Hassan Abiyou has no idea what he's talking about AI's revolution will change the world
Yeah, it is changing the world already.
Making the world less habitable.
I used to work as an AI trainer at these companies that content policies which are essentially biases and everyone can see these now. Yes.
I think you need to do more to address the rampant copium addiction that's become prevalent
in your community.
Copium has always been.
Copium has always been the foundation of this fucking community, okay?
We have crack addicts.
We have copium addicts in this chat, always.
The next shiny piece of technology is the one that's going to fucking change the world.
It's going to shock the world.
This guy's on and right now.
Across the board, you'll notice that neither my Microsoft or Amazon, who both shared their
run rate of AI will share the actual AI revenues.
That tells you that these companies are afraid.
Public companies love good news.
If they had good news, why wouldn't they?
Do you think you would change your judgment on this if China is doing this deep-seek is quite cheap?
You know first of all China is already doing it. It doesn't change my judgment at all as a matter of fact
Like people in developing nations fucking love AI specifically generative AI
They love that shit so much. I mean look at Iran all their posters are now AI
Their Lego videos and whatnot
That doesn't change my opinion on AI at all
Okay. The difference, however, is that China is making it for a fraction of the cost and it's
open source. And I think what China is doing with AI is just basically, every time America comes up
with a new benchmark or has a new breakthrough, China will then turn around and be like, nope,
it's a bubble. Here, we did it for pennies on the dollar. I think that's the reason why China is
is dumping a lot of investments into AI and AI technology,
not because it's like the final frontier
or anything like that,
but because it challenges the American stock market
perception and everything is now,
everything now relies on it.
Yeah, China can only make models as cheaply because they're distilling us models. I know I know they're they're stealing. I know you're right
They they are they're always
Just America's the great innovator and China is the great stealer
China is many billions on and after develop anything but the fuck with America is an embarrassing take
I mean, I already I already said that there is you there's usage for AI
And it's not just the fuck with America, it's to undermine the next frontier of American
finance.
That's not just the fuck with America.
That's the destruction of the American economy potentially.
They're keeping some level of tech parity while simultaneously able to use it like a
needle to fucking burst the American AI bubble. That's not fucking with America.
Lee Shariff, that's because they've only got bad news here.
So what do you think then is the straw that ultimately breaks the candles back? You've got
about trillions potentially at stake in terms of just overall CAPEX investing through the
years.
I mean, it seems like there is a collective desire for this to work.
What ultimately provides the challenge or presents the challenge in your mind that kind
of reverses all of that.
So I heard a Goldman analyst say recently that the first type of scaler to pull CAPEX
will get rewarded by the markets.
China's stealing such a dumb take, all the big elements are probing each other for training
data?
No, it's really funny.
To say that one country's AI is actually stealing as opposed to my country's AI
My country's AI models are are built off of not stealing as opposed to the Chinese one
That's the funniest thing you can say about AI
Like all matter of machine learning is technically built on if you consider that to be stealing theft I
I think it's inappropriate to paywall it in any way shape or form because the entire business model revolves around stealing.
Okay.
It's crazy if you're gonna, if you are going to steal all of the patents, all the IP and everything else for that matter to build out your business, you can't fucking charge people for it.
I think that capex pullbacks are there to sign. I also think any financing falling through
for open AI or anthropic would be a sign, but I think we're going to start seeing AI
companies kind of start falling out of favor and not being able to raise money. But the
big thing is debt. When data center debt stops being issued, that will be when it's bedtime
for this industry. Because even if they think AI is going to win, we've got 100 gigawatts
to serve data center capacity allegedly under construction or in planning, that's trillions
of dollars of money that needs to come from somewhere.
And we are tapping out the debt markets.
We saw that with Google raising that $85 billion equity raise.
Although you'd agree that spreads do not imply that that moment is any time soon.
Spreads have been wrong before.
That's the thing.
And I think that perhaps the timing isn't going to be immediate, but at some point a
hyperscaler is going to pull back capex.
And when that happens, well, this is an industry of followers.
tech industry doesn't have ideas they just copy each other. Everyone copied
Satya Nadella when he put chat GPT in Bing and I think that whoever breaks
capex first they'll follow them too. All right Ed thank you very much. Thank you.
Ed Zatron.
Open Air has been a hit 34 billion last year ahead of plan to IPO. Auditory
figures reveal mounting costs for model development infrastructure and rapid expansion.
The numbers which were first shared with the Financial Times by independent journals as
Zitron suggests open ads revenues are outstripped by rising costs.
Open Ad booked about $13 billion in revenue last year by the end of 2025.
It was generating $2 billion a monthly revenue up from $1 billion a quarter at the end of
2024, making it one of the fast-growing businesses in history.
But heavy spending contributed to a nearly eight-fold increase in the net loss attributable
to open AI, which sort from $5 billion in 2024 to around $39 billion in 2025. This is
just like the opposite of capitalism. Okay. It's so funny. Look, I'm not the smartest
guy when it comes to this stuff. Okay. I know I say, I'm a numbers guy, but I'm not actually
I am a numbers guy, okay? But back in my day, you had to have a business in order for a business
to work. You would have to have upfront costs, but then at the end, the product, when you added
the labor to it, okay? You would generate value. You'd have a new product at the end of that process,
Okay, and the new product that you sold would have to be cheaper or it would have to be more expensive rather than the amount of money that you spent
Creating the product
This is topsy-turvy. It's the exact opposite
It's far more costly to make the product
Chinese labs definitely do some distillation, but they also have some junior innovation that they open source in a way most western labs won't. Okay.
It costs more to make the product than it is to sell it. What are we doing?
Open out was also lobbying the S&P 500 to get early admins, the only reason to do that
from their perspective is because of transient liquidity boosts to insert themselves in the
pension and retirement accounts, making themselves too big to fail as fast as possible.
You don't understand business sure they lose money on every transaction, but they'll make
it up on volume.
No, there's no way to make it.
You're being summoned by the way.
What is this?
I'm shocked the Atlantis cruise I'm performing on next week has been banned from entering
Turkey.
A ship, a magnificent ship full of gay men and me.
Then I entered Turkey simply because of who is on board.
I am furious, but I am sailing as the ship will make other ports of call.
I'm ready to perform for all the wonderful men on this Atlanta's cruise.
Who deserves so much better than this?
Patty Lepone.
Why, why did Turkey do that?
They're being homophobic.
Hasamahun do something.
I don't, I don't think Caroline understands.
I can't do, I can only hurt their cause.
Me showing support for this ship would only cause out of the one to ban it extra hard
You know what I mean
Maybe Turkey was like it's July Pride Month's over
Prime month's over is July pack it up
Who does Caroline think alerted Turkey in the first place? Yeah, it was me. I did that.
Ben Jordan's new video talks about space and open AI. Oh yeah, I'm gonna cover that. Hold on.
Seven years ago, a representative from Google reached out to me in an official capacity
discussed the company's energy use. I told them it would become necessary for major firms
and core economies to reduce energy use in order to enable Paris-compliant decarbonization.
They assured me that their new AI tools were already helping them identify ways to improve
the company's energy efficiency. So they weren't worried. They insisted this was to yield radical
efficiency improvements and lead to energy use reduction using AI to find new ways of
decarbonizing. That's awesome. What do you think about Andrew? Dog shit. Absolute dog
shit. Fuck Palmer Lucky. He also personally hates me, which makes things easier for me
at least. Anyway, they insisted this was soon healed. Radical efficiency improves and lead
the energy use reduction without any change their production activities.
Yeah.
Andrew, Andrew's bitch is so bad.
Ukraine, Ukraine kicked him out of the country.
Andrew kicked out of the party.
I told them that's not how it works in growth in growth or into capital's firms saving from
Efficiency improvements are generally leverage expand production
I predict that even if their AI found ways to improve efficiency Google's energy use will go up not down
Seven years later, and this is where we're at
Yep
Yeah, Andrew got the oxcord in Ukraine and Ukraine was like nope.
Just a two, haven't you?
We've been exposed to controversies and warnings and just non-stop bad news our entire lives,
but this hits different beneath all of these chaotic headlines that we see.
The richest country is pretty mid now.
From friend of the show, Ben Jordan.
Every single day it just feels like something bigger is happening.
Give me a favor, try and think of one, just one, general thing in your life that has improved
in the last ten years.
Has your quality of healthcare improved?
How about your quality of education?
Your cost of living, your insurance coverage, your privacy, your freedom?
Do you have more time to do what you want to do today than you did in 2016?
On this day, one decade ago, the Dow Jones closed at around 18,000 points.
Since then, it has skyrocketed, closing today at 51,000.
That's right, it's over 50,000.
said it was not possible. Don't you feel it? Don't you think things are getting so much better?
So congratulations, unless of course your quality of life is not 2.83 times better. In that case,
I made a video for you to watch. But this video isn't about evil CEOs or how capitalism and wealth
inequality are out of control. You probably already knew those things. This is a theory.
Maybe a conspiracy theory, but a theory none the... When you like Andrew, they develop their
technology before they use government money, they're a lot better than Palantir.
Oh shit dude, my bad. They're fucking baby murder machines. They develop in-house before
they use government funds. Fuck, I was so wrong. Oh shit dude, if they make the baby murder machines
ahead of time, then that's fine. That's what we're doing now? What the fuck?
Someone's got to develop it. No, actually, no, not at all.
You fucking work there. I know plenty of engineers that work for these firms.
Okay. I know many of them. Let me tell you, they don't have this mentality.
I don't know if you're one of these guys, but it's crazy to me.
We're like, well, someone's got to make the baby murder machine. No,
I don't think so. Actually been sharing and discussing and refining for years.
For you, it's merely some lenses that you can try on when reading your newsfeed.
Also it's kind of funny because Andrewle is like, like the Ukraine story is very funny,
for me.
Cause like Ukraine is like your drones are dog shit, please leave the country.
Like, Andrewle's Autonomous Weapons Fail and Test Ukraine Combat Defense Thart of $30
Another valuation underscreen is weapon systems malfunction.
The cracks in Andrewle industry�s glossy defense tech narrative becoming harder to
ignore.
What started as a whispered concern about military contracts is now exploded in a public
view with damning details from the Wall Street Journal about systematic failures across companies�
autonomous weapons portfolio.
The most alarming incident occurred during a Navy exercise off the California coast in
May where more than a dozen of Andrewle�s autonomous drone boats simply stopped working.
Failures on scene warned of safety violations of potential and potential loss of life.
According to the Journal�s reporting, �It�s the kind of failure that sends shockwaves
the Pentagon procurement officer's already skeptical Silicon Valley's promise of the
revolutionized warfare.
The real gut punch comes from Ukraine where Andrewle's technology faces true battle test.
Ukraine's security forces found that the company's al-TIS loitering drones repeatedly
crash and fail to hit their targets.
The performance was so poor that the Ukrainian forces completely stopped using them in 2024
and haven't deployed them since.
This battlefield rejection carries enormous weight in defense circles.
When cranes become the proven ground for next-gen military technology, God, this is so dystopian.
I'm not sure where to find a peace of mind Sometimes you can see things when it ain't
time But for you, I'll be folding it all aside
Capitalism on paper is dependent on economic and technological growth.
paper, the idea is that everybody gets a slice of the pie and if we make a really really
really big pie that keeps growing, then everybody can get fat and not only is that example kind
of a literal one when we look at the American obesity epidemic, but capitalism also led
to agricultural innovation and global supply chains and wealth creation and developing
countries that played a huge part.
Ben Jordan doesn't believe that by the way, this entire video is directly contradicting
that assessment.
decrease in global hunger. It's worth recognizing that in 1970, one-third of the people on this
planet were starving. And now that you're here at the PlayStation and starving physical game
disc starting in 2028, I am disgusted with the way every one of these dumbass fucking companies,
including Sony, which by the way, Sony is a Japanese company. This is exceptional. Okay.
Okay? If you've ever been to Japan, you know those motherfuckers still use paper receipts.
Okay? So the very fact that a Japanese company would actually gut their hard disks is unbelievable.
It has to, it just must have been a PlayStation American decision, okay?
We are going to lose all of our archives.
And not only that, yeah, they invented Blu-ray, I mean, they invented a new technology.
We're going to lose all of our archives.
We're not going to own anything, dude.
It's insane.
Renterism is coming to the field of entertainment.
It's already here.
What the hell is happening?
I hate this shit so much, okay?
I hate this so much.
The idea that you can't own anything, including video games, including movies, is so ridiculous.
There's obviously a million different reasons as to why this is dog shit number one. This already happens all the time with the exception of like maybe one of these
With the exception of maybe like one or two of these platforms like the one that cyberpunk is sold on. I forget what it's called.
called. Most of these platforms regularly pull back their archives. Yeah, GOG is the
only one I think that literally doesn't do that, right? But even Steam, like Valve, will
sometimes take down certain pieces of content that you own, but you actually don't even
own it. What are we doing? Yeah, GOG CD Project Red, yeah. I hate this shit so much. Okay,
I hate it so much. It is so fucked up. It already happens. You're just not aware of
it. Okay. It happens all the time. You're oblivious to it. It happens with library with your library
of content that you think you own that you don't actually own. It's ridiculous.
Maximilian dude blamed Trump for this Sony decision and a bunch of hogs got mad at him
for it.
Games were released on PlayStation Store and at retailers in digital formats only.
I have choice things to say of how we got here, but I'm gonna save it.
Us being in this precarious position didn't just happen because things happen.
This happened because people voted for very specific people.
consumer preference gains will be rolled. Yeah. Because did Maximilian Dugas blame Sony? No physical
decision on Trump. What Max alluded to here is that the current administration is virtually no
consumer protection operations whatsoever. And that's by design to be as business friendly as
possible. There's also the fact that the Supreme Court is extremely corporate friendly. So there's
no legal avenue in the United States to realistically challenge Sony or any large multi-billion dollar
firm. This is all a result of our current trend in electoral politics, who we vote in office matters.
And there are downstream effects that you wouldn't normally connect that flow out to who controls the American government
I know a lot of people have varied opinions on max dude, but on this point. He's actually right
This is such a non-issue it's not a non-issue you don't need discs to pirate games. You never owned games
This is such a non-issue. Okay. Look, I love piracy. You know this. I am very much pro piracy
I'm so pro piracy that I even made a joke about I would download a car if I could do it
alluding to the anti-piracy ads back in the fucking 90s,
which became a massive point of controversy that Fox News still uses to this day.
Yes, I love piracy. I'm pro-piracy all the way.
I'm still frustrated that the legal avenues that existed for archiving things that you can own, okay,
things that you can own and things that you can consume whenever you want to,
are getting taken away.
You never legally owned software, you were given a license, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
What do you mean?
When you have a fucking hard copy of the thing, they can't just come to your house and stop
you.
They can't be like, I'm revoking your license.
That's the whole point of physical ownership.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Now that license can be restricted because it's digital.
Hello?
are you talking about? That's the whole point of fucking physical copies. They literally
can the full game is not on the disk. Oh my God. You are further proving my frustration.
Everything is John Deere tractor, dude. Someone in the chat was asking earlier, what is right to repair? Okay?
Nowadays
These companies that provide hardware, okay? Use a gamer terminology for something that's entirely different
They're actually no longer hardware companies. They're software companies. Okay?
That's going to happen to cars as well
It's insane because everything is everything is anchored around generating more profit sucking more money out of you
If they sell you something
Everything revolves around rent seeking if they sell you something and you can use it for the rest of your life
They can't consistently farm donations from you. They can't consistently make money off of you
Okay, this is simply put a company finding a new way to fuck you a new way
To get more money out of you rather than the initial upfront cost where you purchase the product and it's yours forever
That's it and this additional paid-for software is already taking place in cars as well a
Lot of gamers hate the live service model right you hate it you're like this sucks
Everything is turning into the live service model. How do you not see it? The
subscription model is a newer method on planned obsolescence. Back in the day
companies would create things that you use with planned obsolescence in mind so
that every two years something would break and it would be cheaper for you to
buy the newer product than to go and fix that product altogether. Okay, that's
planned obsolescence. That's not enough, though, for physical commodities that you're purchasing.
Okay. What they're now doing is software. What they're now doing is charging for the
software. Everything is on a subscription basis so that they can just make one thing
and then consistently farm you to pay for a privilege to use the thing that you already
purchased. Tesla FSD cost $99, your premium connectivity cost $999.
This is how capitalism operates by the way. If they could literally charge you for thinking
about the fucking game that you just played, they would. This is the closest they can arrive
at that reality. Do you understand? For a company, its primary goal is to make as much
money off of you as they possibly can. Okay. And this, this kind of live service model
that they're, they're moving into, okay, where they can charge you a season pass and like,
maybe sometimes tweak the game a little bit. Everything is like turning into Fortnite.
Okay
Actually ruins innovation. Okay, it fucking ruins innovation when the only
Innovative product in the field of arts is about inventing new ways to farm money off of you without much improvements
Good luck getting a new game. One of the greatest examples of this is Grand Theft Auto
Okay, Rockstar is an incredible
incredible, uh, incredible developer. Okay. For years and years, they made unbelievable
single player games. And then the last iteration of Grand Theft Auto came with online gameplay.
And then their production halted take two. Yes. Their production halted because Grand
Theft Auto online was making money hand over fucking fist. It became their ultimate cash
cow. This is how capitalism ruins innovation, and it's how capitalism destroys creativity.
A cost-saving measure for Sony, but those cost-saving measures do not pass on to the consumer.
They get to save on manufacturing. Yeah, cutting physical media cuts costs only for the company.
They get to save on production, design, shipping, and still charge the same thing with nothing being
pass on the consumer. And it's also more devastating than that. Because now what happens when they
decide, oh, you have this game, the only way you can access it is if you give me $5 every
time you play it. Okay. What happens when they can add dynamic pricing? They have all the data.
They know that you could pay more, that you would be willing to pay more at certain times of the
day. What happens when they add that factor? You are like, oh, that would never happen. Of course,
it will happen. It's happening right now. Hello.
They get a seal on packaging. Unfortunately, so many gamers get their notes from unwashed fucking
moronic losers like Asmongold, so they didn't even realize that this is happening,
and they only recognize they're getting butt-fucked on the tail end after it's all said and done.
Okay
That's it unfortunately so many fucking dumbass reaction error gamers won't even realize that this is going on
What are the greatest examples of this was with Lena con and with Xbox right? They were all talking big shit. What happened?
Right now if you want to purchase a game if you want to purchase
God of War you go to Walmart. It's $34 you go to PSN. It's $60
Why the f**k do you think that's the case?
There you go.
They could have saved on shipping, but the game still costs the same.
They're going to cost full charge on the store and retailers don't have a say in that.
So consumers just get way, way less options as a result of this.
this is
Yeah, the importance of physical disis plan by Sony themselves 13 years ago
He has for this they have rights to use that copy the game
They can trade in the game at retail sell it to another person lend it to a friend or keep it forever
What is this GTA 6?
Not to mention they're locking certain sources for a normal price because you didn't get
the premium.
The GTA 6 physical version will not have a disc, will have no map, will cost $80.
One retailer said only 11 people pre-ordered it.
Rockstar really needs to rethink this and release a disc version later if they want
to prevent leaks at launch before Sony stops disc production altogether in 2028.
You
I
Low-key low key
You know how like the transgender issue is catnip for the dumbest people in society to
go and like vote for Donald Trump who has fucked them over every step of the way and
has not fixed the economy at all?
This exact same thing happens in gamers as well, many of which are already Trump supporters.
For gamers is DEI.
They literally think, oh, DEI, there's DEI, that, oh, video game titties are smaller and
They like hyper focus on this and they think that's what's ruining gaming
Meanwhile, what's ruining gaming is capitalism?
I swear to fucking god, they're like other pronouns of developers
Oh my god, my developer has a septum piercing and blue hair and they're queer and non-binary bitch. That's always what it's been
They're fucking nerds. Of course, they're queer and non-binary. They're goddamn nerds when the fuck has have gaming developers not been
Non-binary queer nerds. They always have been that way. You're a fucking idiot
Now you're fucking celebrating them losing their fucking jobs are an idiot at the behest of
VC funded hedge fund funded big tech firms that come in and purchase everything they can't and gut the fucking product
Asm actually do the angry Sony decision. Yeah, he's a fucking moron dude. Of course he defended it
There's never been a capital owners dick. He hasn't eaten dude. He polishes the fucking boots
That's his whole point
Sorry about this, but I think that Sony I hate to say this I think they're making the right decision I
I think that they the man
He is incapable of arriving at the correct take even by accident dude
You realize that nobody's buying physical media anymore and it's not worth distributing producing and shipping out all these copies because that's not true
Of course people are buying physical media
People just aren't buying them
If you want to ask and you want to wonder why this is happening
It's your fault. It's my fault. It's our fault.
Please, please, don't you dare get mad at the big company making a pro-profit decision. Get mad at yourself.
Yeah, in September, some PlayStation customers are no longer able to access some purchase movies and shows.
It underscores the fact that digital purchases are really more like long-term rentals
Okay
I've I've been warning about this for fucking years. That's the whole point
They can just take away shit that you purchase and then dumb fucks in my child be like, ooh, technically it's a license anyway
Oh, really? Oh
That's what you were doing
That's what a book is to you know, it's technically on license dude and when I'm reading the book there
What are they gonna do come to my house and take the book away?
what are you fucking stupid? Why does everybody what why is there this like dog and people
that that is constantly hounding them to be this annoying arm actually guy? Okay.
Who gives a fuck if it's a license? What do you mean?
So this is the stream the ps5 going diskless. Yeah, who needs that secondary market they
don't get a taste from it's not even the secondary market is just a cost-saving measure for them
on the production side and this way they can inevitably charge you more to literally access
your own fucking game. How do people not realize this? People pay for early access nowadays.
That shit used to, like, games should never be released on alpha. They would be alpha
tested, they would be beta tested, okay? And then the final product that you purchased
would arrive at your door, a much more complete product, unless it was, you know, Elder Scrolls.
Then you have to patch it into oblivion. But whatever, right? Nowadays, you literally,
the companies charge you to beta test the product?
It's fucking ridiculous and people do it.
They don't even realize they're getting fucked over.
So if a company's doing that for extra profits,
what makes you think they're not gonna charge you for access
Now that you don't have the physical thing at your disposal,
I know I already watched the Gene Park take on it.
That's the way it is.
This is just a dumb guy trying to make a smart point
Or thinks he's making a smart point. It's fucking annoying. Let's see what Charlie had to say
I wasn't around to witness the extinction of the dinosaurs nor was I there to see the death of the final saber-toothed tiger
But boy howdy, I'm lucky enough to be here to witness the extinction of physical games
I swear Sony treats physical media the same way the Men in Black treated people that witnessed alien activity
Get the neuralizer out look here
No such thing as discs. There's only digital. They have now just driven the final stake in the vampire's heart, the evil menace known as
physical media. They have announced that they are ending physical production in January
2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles. For those that don't know,
this means there will never be a physical disc for a PlayStation game,
even if it's not a first-party title, because in order to even have a physical game on Sony's platform,
it has to go through Sony. Thus, there will no longer be that green light that
thumbs up that lets you make a disc for their platforms. It is only digital
going forward. There is only Zool. It's unhinged insanity because this comes
only days after Sony just pulled over 500 movies from customers' accounts that
they paid for while offering no refunds for it. So customers had 500 movie titles
that have now just fizzled into the ether,
into the fucking back rooms and Sony says,
suck our dick, you don't even get your money back.
So you paid for limited access to these films,
you rented them fundamentally,
even though you were under the impression
that you were buying them and owning them.
But because of this digital landscape,
you don't own anything.
You are paying for a ticket that gives you access
for a set amount of time,
depending on the companies or depending on the licensing.
The movies are getting pulled
because of a licensing issue with Studio Canal,
but it's Sony's platform
and now all the customers that wasted their claims on it have nothing to show for it.
It's just a void. It's blank now.
You will own the...
Yeah, when PlayStation went down last year, people weep because they couldn't play their games.
I know. That's another problem.
Nothing can be happy, and Sony shamelessly makes this announcement in light of that,
while also announcing that they are shutting down the PSN store for PlayStation 3 and PS Vita,
Meaning hundreds, if not thousands, of digital games that existed on those platforms are now gone forever
and not preserved because there wasn't physical copies of them, they were just digital titles there.
So they are genuinely right in your face, hitting fucking Fortnite emotes on that ass,
laughing and goat-seeing in front of you showing like, yeah, you will own nothing and be happy.
Look, we just took down this store revoking your access to these games that you paid for.
They're gone, Buster, and there's nothing you can do about it, Slime.
Not even the Dragon Balls could wish these back into existence. Shinran is powerless against PlayStation.
But let's not get too rambunctious off of it. Maybe they've got a really good reason for it.
Gamers deserve this. This might wake them up. No, dude. They just get dumber.
It's like, it's dude, if that was the case, Ronald Reagan should have been a fucking wake-up call
for the white working class, right? And since then, we've gotten George W. Bush
And now Donald Trump one and now Donald Trump two. No, nobody wakes up
Okay, nobody wakes up
That's not how this goes if anything they get more reactionary they're like, oh my treats are worse now
Oh, they cut off access to my treats. Why probably transgender CEOs or something
I mean look at the situation
Yeah, this is a good take as well. The responses this perfectly show the dichotomy I was talking
about yesterday. The Chuds hate gaming companies, but they also refuse to engage the political
ram of these unaccountable entities that are borderline monopolies. So I must say that
they will try to railroad a universally love figure in this space. Funny. Some of them
are surprised like it was a hardtail max of liberal love and fail. Like they don't understand
They're just like pure, it's a pure distillation of reactionary thought, okay?
You said the opposite about Trump coin people. No, I said it's good that they're getting fucked over.
I don't think that it's good that every gamer is getting fucked over.
Okay, I said it's if you're dumb enough to buy in
To Trump coin, then yes, you kind of deserve to get fucked by Trump.
Okay
That's entirely different than, uh, that's entirely different than capitalism
eviscerating, uh, what remains of the, the, uh, the field of arts in gaming.
Yeah.
This is completely out of our control.
It is funny that they thought this Maximilian dude guy was not a lib though.
I mean, I've never even met him and I don't really know him that well, but even
Like the little bit I do know I just assumed he was it's not even he's liberal. It's just easy as a brain
Okay, that's it like that. That's what it is. Okay in this space if you have a functioning brain
You're probably a liberal
That's just what it is. Okay. I'm not a fucking liberal
I'm a leftist I'm an anti-capitalist, but let's be fucking real in the gaming sphere
Especially if you have three fucking working brain cells that you're rubbed together you're probably a fucking liberal
at worse
Shocking that an adult
With normal opinions and and a functioning brain is a liberal. Oh my god. I'm shocked
Right in response to shifting trends and consumer preference new games will be released on PlayStation Store and at retailers in digital
I have I have the gobbies you mean like how when GTA just announced with no physical edition
People were rightfully fuming pointing out how
Now awful that is in light of everything that's happened in this industry where you can just
have your access.
Pragmata's ending made him cry because he's the dad to a daughter.
He's a live.
It's just the things you purchased, revoked at any point in time.
So if you don't have something physical, you literally own nothing.
You own the idea of something.
It's imagination, SpongeBob and Patrick in the box, imagining that they own their games
right now when it's digital only.
So if anything, the shifting trend in consumer preference is swinging back the other way
to preferring physical media because of how bad this whole digital only shit has been.
As consumer preferences and the broader entertainment industry continue to shift away from physical
disc to digital, physical game disc production for all new games releasing on PlayStation
consoles will be discontinued in January of 2028.
Also again, a load of barnacles, this is horseradish, people are wanting more physical
now.
Like for me personally, I've been a big advocate of physical media for at least like the last
year and a half if not two years because of this trim that we've been seeing of just losing
access to what you've spent money on.
You're buying nothing.
You are not buying anything.
And they're just dangling their dicks right in front of our faces.
Ubisoft unapologetically said consumers need to get more comfortable not owning their games.
Like how can you possibly be supportive of this?
And people aren't.
Like I said, I think the preference is shifting away from digital in light of wanting more
physical. Following this date, new games will be available on PlayStation Store and at Retailage
and Digital Formats only. This transition has no impact on games that already released or will
be releasing prior to January 28th, 2028 in this format. Also something worth noting. This doesn't,
like they're saving a lot of money on not making physical games anymore, but it's not going to
reflect in the pricing. The games are still going to be $70, $80 games. So like you're still getting
slapped around with the pricing. It's not like this is going to bring down the cost of a controversial
opinion, I don't even think it would be valid. Uh, if, if they even drop the pricing, which is
ironic because if they were like, okay, instead of $80, we're going to slide, we're going to,
you know, charge you $60, but you can't get a hard copy. Many gamers would at least be dumb enough
to be like, okay, that's good. I still don't think it's fucking valid. The options should still remain.
I can see exactly where this is going. And I'm warning you ahead of time. Well, it's already
too late. The events are already set in motion. But that's what's going on. They are going
to literally, this is rent seeking, okay, they are going to charge you rent to own a
thing that you previously were capable of fucking owning. Okay, that's it. That's it.
Now spiraling out of control industry. This is a natural direction for Sony Interactive
of entertainment to adapt to consumer trends
as the general preference for digital media
significantly outpaces visual disks.
This transition will enable us to align more closely
with how most of our community prefers to access
and play games today.
We'll continue to prioritize our resources
to drive innovation and how players can access games
and provide choices as to where players prefer
to purchase new games.
Whether that's at retailers or the PlayStation Store,
we remain committed to delivering a world-class
gaming experience to our fans and we thank you
for your continued support.
Hey, pal, you just blew in from Stupid Town.
If you are a digital-only platform,
Why the fuck would anyone choose you over Steam?
Like, genuinely, you have a worse store,
you shut down your stores too,
you literally just shut down the PS3 store and PS Vita one,
so people wouldn't even feel comfortable
buying from your store considering at any point in time
they'd have to be like living in fear
that you're gonna swoop in like the boogeyman
and take away the things they bought.
You have a much weaker store in terms of titles than Steam.
So why would they?
It's great, everything, you got digital land loading,
it's awesome.
I agree with you. Or I wouldn't mind any of this. We actually had consumer protections for digital media. Yeah, I
Personally don't care that there aren't gonna be any more physical displace. They should have a bought a hard copy game in 10 years
Oh my god. Oh my god
What's that meme?
Like
the sign of a low IQ is is the
A sign of a low IQ for conservatives especially is that they can't like engage a hypothetical
or or ever foresee how this could impact them in any way shape or form down the line.
But this is literally what it is.
This is literally what it is.
The guys like, oh, I've never bought a fucking hard copy.
So I can't comprehend how this could be impactful for my life.
order thinking. Yeah, no capacity for second order thinking, no capacity to engage in a
fucking hypothetical. These guys literally do not understand anything. It's just straight
up. Look, look, I get mad at liberals a lot because reactionary thinking in general. And
I think the peak of reactionary thinking is demonstrated by conservatives usually is just
Stupidity
Pro piracy but pro ownership yes, dude what the fuck piracy is ownership
What are you what what are you stupid do you think when you own a game you're the landlord of the game?
Yes, there's there's an impersonal property and private property
Hello
Oh my god
You think you're making a brilliant point at point at point here? What the fuck?
Sony owns a lot of bullshit Sony opponent owns a patent that will force a viewer to audibly say they advertise their name in order to proceed past their commercial
Oh, that's awesome
So China never stole IP. I don't give a fuck.
I hope you lose your digital library. That's what self-centered people like you deserve.
careless I gave mostly on PC
first of all it can happen there too and secondly I just oh my god I'm done I
can't I can't I can't I'm a piracy a piracy just pirated yes it is more
expensive to build a PC that can handle like you know more high-end gaming but
But there are solid entry level PCs out there, and yes, while PS5 is cheaper than that right
now, I imagine the PS5 prices are going to go up as well, reflective of Xbox price increase.
I think that's the writing on the wall, there's going to be a price increase pretty soon.
So eventually the gap's not going to be that big in terms of like price discrepancy between
PS5 and PC.
And again, PC has a much more robust catalog of games to choose from in the digital-only
format with Steam.
So why the fuck would anyone ever even consider shopping exclusively on the Sony PlayStation
Store after you keep going scorched earth on physical media and taking away people's
products that they bought thinking that they owned them?
Like the way they're treating this shit, I wouldn't be surprised if they start going
door-to-door treating people that own physical PlayStation discs like terrorists, like excuse
me, we're going to need to sweep the premises here, we need to check your house. Do you
have physical discs here? We got a tip. And then you just start like taking it physically
out of your hands to make you shop at the store. A store which, by the way, is more
expensive shopping digital only on older titles. So if you bought the physical copies
for some of the games here like this tweet illustrates, you saved money getting the physical
edition on like God of War Ragnarok, Gran Turismo, those kind of things. But now that
that's off the table going forward. These games presumably are never going to get cheaper
on the PlayStation Store because they're still charging full price for these older games
on their store. So they're looking to even make more money off of going digital only
when getting physical down the line has been cheaper. Now they've fully got it by the titties
here. They fully control it directly. So they never have to bring the price down because
there's only digital options to choose from now. You can't get a physical addition.
I'm sorry, but your end user agreement dictates that we can search the premises. Yeah, that's like that's what chatter
That's what some chatters were on earlier when they were like, well, it's technically just a license even when you purchase a
Physical copy that's basically what it is. Sorry
You need to get sorry that the end user agreement dictates that a a Sony private mercenary coming to your house and but fuck you. Sorry
You signed on the dotted line
Now, for these upcoming games, thus the price doesn't ever have to go down if Sony doesn't
want it to and it looks like they really don't want it to.
Still paying full price for some of these older titles to this day.
Now let's take a peek at the bright future of digital only with Sony's immaculate track
record of having stores that they shut down and take away the shit that you spend your
money on.
This is their announcement about shutting down the PS3 and Vita store.
By the way, this is also low-key price leadership from,
because this is a oligopolistic market as well,
this is price leadership from Nintendo.
So if you wanna yell at someone that's like,
usually the number one villain in this field,
yell at Nintendo.
They did this years ago.
And they're moving,
increasingly moving in that space.
And guess what?
Now they're charging subscriptions for, you know,
purchasing the old shit that you had. Sony's gonna do the same. After nearly two decades
of supporting the PS3 console generation who wanted to let you know will be closing the
PlayStation Store on PS3 as well as Vita. PlayStation Store on PS3 will close. Of course
Nintendo fans are like Swifties. Nintendo fans are the Swifties of the gaming sphere
they will never understand. Markets starting this year followed by global pressures for
PS3 and Vita next year. That means new content purchases will no longer be possible once
the PlayStation Store closes on these devices.
Be careful making the Nintendo's mad. I already made the Swifties mad earlier because I said
it was kind of crazy that she's doing a wedding in MSG. And now I'm making the Nintendo's
mad.
Please, the transition players will still be able to download previously purchased content
after the closing date for this foreseeable future as the PlayStation Store continues
to evolve to support modern commerce systems, including updated payment processing standards.
PS3 and Vita are no longer able to support these updates at the level required.
As a result, we will need to close PlayStation Store on these devices and the timeframes
as followed.
They then list out the time frame where eventually life support will be pulled on July 2027.
That's, that's doomsday.
We know this news may be disappointing to PS3 and Vita players, so well the special place
in their hearts for this generation of gaming, they represent an important era in PlayStation
history, it wasn't an easy decision. As they continue to expand the PlayStation experience
on newer devices, most of our users are playing on today. We need to focus more resources
on delivering the best gaming experience on these platforms as we look towards the future.
To our amazing players, we want to give our heartfelt thanks for your ongoing passion
and support, which they love to keep wiping their ass with, by the way. Thanks for all
the passion and support, Sony fans. We're going to keep taking away your games, by the
way, and no physical media, by the way. Thank you again. Big thumbs up. Come give us a fist
bump, which has helped inspire us to shape playstation into what it is today, what?
A pile of dog shit?
It's insulting.
We're excited for the future ahead as we continue to push the boundaries of play.
We look forward to having you on this journey with us as we explore new game worlds and
new adventures that have yet to come.
What a heartfelt message to the community and to gamers worldwide.
Hey, you should shop with us digitally.
And yes, we might just shut it all down at some point, so everything you spent hundreds
if not thousands of dollars on will vanish and you have no recourse.
That's just something you're going to have to live with.
Why aren't you getting your wallet out?
Why are you guys not shopping on PlayStation Store right now?
This is exciting.
This is coming from a place of passion.
We're pushing boundaries here for a generational experience for our community.
We're doing everything.
We're bending over backwards for you, you bitches.
You're so selfish.
What?
You want to own your games?
Are you crazy?
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You think you want to own your games,
but you don't want to own anything.
You want us to control it.
You want us to take.
Yeah, wasn't the fucking motto of like chuds
to criticize like the World Economic Forum,
you will own nothing and be happy.
It turns out the ones who are most excited to eat the bug
and own nothing and be happy are the fucking chuds.
They're the ones who are literally like, oh dude, it's fine actually, I don't even fucking own hard copies of anything.
Oh, you can... you can charge me extra, I don't care.
Get away at some point. You want it digitally, please! Come on! Get in here! It's stupid, man. It's so stupid.
They're so out of touch, it's painful.
Naturally, everyone's pointing to this with the PS4 they showcased. Here's how you share your games on PS4,
PS4 and then they hand each other the physical copy and say, thanks.
This was a massive dunk at the time, pushing back against a lot of shit we were seeing
the industry starting to do at that point already with how they were handling like sharing
games and such.
And this was Sony last spreading here and making disc based games a large part of the
PS4's identity, which became a big selling point at the time that really propelled it
above the competitors. And they made it clear with PS4 that physical was something they
valued greatly and like the importance of being able to share a game back and forth
physically passing it to one another. This was a high demand but wanting to go digital.
PS5 disk drives limited to one person so it acknowledges high demand. Yeah, it turns out
It has nothing to do with demand. They know that this is something that consumers are gonna get fucking pissed off about
God it's so stupid. Oh my god, it's so evil huge huge successful campaign that they ran about that
So a core part of PlayStation's identity not even that long ago was these physical discs and being able to share the physical discs like that
Look at us now. Look at how quickly shit's changed and changed for the worse
significantly worse. There are no benefits to this change. There is no one
that should be excited about this because why would you as a consumer even
want to have the chance that what you bought disappears? You've spent your
money on it. You should own it, but you don't. And they're not even being
honest with you about what you're doing. You're not even buying to own. You are
renting from them. They're not even calling it what it is, which is renting.
You are getting admission to this product,
a license to this product for however long they deem necessary
or however long their deals with the licensure,
like in the case of the movies, lasts.
But you as a consumer could very well end up with nothing,
like they just take it away from you.
That shouldn't be something you're okay with.
Like it shouldn't.
If you are okay with it, you're wrong for being okay with it.
I'm just gonna tell you right to your face.
That is dumb.
You should own what you are spending your money on here
in this industry, and they're not even advertising it
as anything other than you owning it.
They're trying to mislead you with what's actually happening
in this digital-only process.
And it's just out of control.
It is truly out of control.
I had a hunch that Sony was going to go this direction,
especially after the GTA VI announcement.
I had a feeling, I think most people kind of had a feeling
in their gut, but I didn't think it would be this quick.
This is a week later that they're just boldly,
brazenly making this announcement that they're wiping their ass with physical media. Disc
based games, they're going to be gone soon. I thought it'd take still a couple more years
before they felt confident up to just pull the rug there and just say like, all right,
it's gone. But yeah, they did it and it really sucks. Anyway, that's about it. See you.
great good good take from moist critical and predictably horrible take from
Asmengold as always.
I completely understand where you're coming from for a lot of gamers, physical discs are
the only way they can afford to play games because they can give them second hand.
You can also give games to your younger siblings which is a great way to introduce them to
the games you're playing.
Most importantly though, as we saw from PlayStation this past week, if the media we
buy is only digitally, it can be taken away from us at a moment's notice with no recourse.
Imagine that.
One day your entire library of games can be deleted overnight because technically you
don't own it.
Okay, Trevor Noah cooked on this shit
Salute to you for the reply now. I'm not knocking anyone with the only way you can get a game a second hand or on a budget
I never knock on anyone's financials. She's such a chud
He's such a fucking chud this guy. Oh, I do you you reminded me that poor people exist
Guys that say stuff like that absolutely don't give a shit about the poor by the way
92% of game sales are digital you're all talking the talk but not walking the walk
Brother why are you eradicating 8% then?
You are missing the fucking point
Also when physical media exists
this. If the option still exists, okay? If the option still exists, then you can't just
like start fucking charging rent.
Big news, my administration is delivering another Fantastic America first victory. The Department
a treasure will now accept philanthropic contributions of readily tradable public traders thought
to help front Trump accounts for eligible American children. This was a door for great
American businesses philanthropists. What the fine job creators to invest dude everything

Oh
Isn't it funny that everything that people warn about
Communism literally happens under capitalism like everything
Everything that people warned that could potentially happen under communism if God forbid we move society
If we evolve society even a little bit in the direction of socialism, holy fuck
You're gonna have communism and it's literally all happening right now. Oh
Look at China mass surveillance
Tremendous government overreach
They'll put you in prison for saying the wrong thing
Okay, it's here and we don't got the fucking high-speed rail
They told you you don't know nothing under communism, and under capitalism you won't even be able to own something as simple as your video games anymore.
It's incredible dude.
Yeah, it's the classic, this is what communism does, compilations that people love posting.
And it's always the photos. The photos are always from capitalist societies. Oh, this
This is what life looks like under communism, and it's literally just like fucking skid row.
You know what I mean?
Anyway, that's all I got for today.
I'm tired.
