And in any case ladies and gentlemen, hope you're cracking a fuck of Miller light or a PBR
Oh PBR is that pussy drink
drink. ABR is what God damn commies drink, but on this beautiful day, July 4th, 2026.
We're all, we're all, we're all cracking a cold one. Anyway, folks, it's July 4th. It's
the 4th of July. It doesn't feel like it. Doesn't feel like it. Doesn't feel like America's
reached his 250th birthday. It kind of feels like it's America's funeral, but it's fine.
We're going to look at, we're going to monitor the situation regardless. You already know.
A little bit of an empire in decline. No fireworks in Colorado canceled. That's probably not surprising.
Anthropogenic climate change has rendered all public gatherings impossible.
People are not necessarily feeling on that patriotic. That's another problem for the birthday of the nation.
And once again, I'm coming to you live from
Stolen Tongva territory here in Los Angeles, California
Does your red tie go below your day if it does your real patriot, yeah, it does
Hollywood reporters trying to get me killed. Why aren't you at the beach? I don't know because I never go to the beach
Anyway, this is for all the shut-ass losers who got nowhere to go on 4th of July
Myself included of course
You pray for me SFL paramedic I have to work tonight and deal with all the drunk people blowing their hands off. I
Hope you have a great night, sir madam damper
But
Your hat tan line is sending me wait what hat tan line
Do I have a hat tan line? I did play basketball. That's why my cheeks are so rosy because I was outside
playing b-ball this morning
Had a great time God bless America
Yeah, this is this is the only way to celebrate America nowadays with a fucking ginormous hogged
with the with the nice little fucking piece on Captain America hog watch baby
made by a Chinese man that's crazy
Yeah, a Chinese designer spent extra time on this. I'm kidding. Actually, it's probably
not a Chinese designer, but it's a Chinese company. Wait, did they nerf his hog? Did
they nerf his pee pee? That's crazy that his dick, his dick moves. Look, when he moves
of his dick moves too. That's insane. They put jiggle physics on that piece. That's crazy.
Please look at this. No, I'm not. Okay, dude. Jesus Christ.
tight and loose at the same time. Yeah, respect. Anyway, I like that. His dick is, is ripping
through the stool though. Like he was just like, Nope, I'm poking through it. His, his
cock is soft and it's clipping through the stool. Anyway, happy 4th of July, folks. It's
America's birthday. It's all of our birthday. Um, not really.
Furby Derby's birthday. Uh, this is part of the broadcast where I tell you about
my personal news, 74 degrees and partially sunny in California, Los Angeles.
Perfect weather to celebrate. Perfect weather to be outside.
Go to a goddamn BBQ and get drunk. Maybe, um,
I probably won't be doing that.
But who knows? Maybe I will. I haven't decided yet.
In any case, in any case, um, we'll be doing some fun stuff, but before we get into that,
before we get into that, let's get into my personal news, which there is not much of
I'm gonna try to ask loser. You already know I didn't do shit last night.
Okay. I didn't do anything last night.
Woke up this morning, uh, did the Marxism conference
thrown together by the Socialist Workers Party.
I think they're trots, not sure.
In the UK.
And that was, uh, an event.
I was supposed to be in the UK in person for it, but the conference went well, I think.
A lot of excitement. A lot of people interested in it. What the f... That's crazy.
You just stare at a wall and watch paint dry the fuck. I've, I've, I watched Euphoria and it's not very good.
season 2 has been
too depressing
like, and I assume season 3 is ass, everyone says it's ass
yeah, Rue happy moments, yeah, one time when she's in the fucking hospital, that's it
it annoys me
It annoys me. I'll be honest. Yeah, white supremacists were all over DC. It's nice of
them to take off the ice gear and to put their khakis on. It's fucking 125 degrees in DC.
They're wearing massive shit. It's pretty funny that they won't wear, they won't wear
the mass when they're doing their ICE duties when they're supposed to, but they'll only
wear the mask when they're off duty. I find that very interesting.
But yeah, we'll talk about all of that and more. Let's get into it.
deliver to anti-communist speech hogwatch heatwave 4th of July. Feels like feels not like a B-day
but a funeral Saturday, fun day, reacts are back and more get in now.
Um, will you cover the hominae funeral?
Um, I don't really know what to cover about that, to be honest.
Do we have a blast off me mother than the join the DSA?
Join the DSA.
慈by, derby, terby, derby, terby, derby, derby, derby, derby, derby, derby.
Um,
Leftist humor is Irma Gurdmeister in 2013, not funny, actually very cringe as Brian Lewis, former Terbi Versailles Dakota governor.
We supported Toby over Dusty Johnson and this is how we're treated, shaking my head, true.
Sounds like a no good yellow belly cattle thief like Larry Rodin.
That's funny. Anyway, uh, it's July 4th, ladies and gentlemen.
Let's blast off.
I'll watch your Smosh video, it's very funny.
Thank you.
Did you guys like the Smosh video?
Did you watch it?
I was on Smosh.
After 250 years, the flag will be changed to red, white, and green.
The color or future of the reflecting pool plays no part in this decision, Trump.
Ms. Ross and I, please watch the video for Sunday Fondays, not Sunday Saturday Fondays.
What is this?
Brokey Decody 420.
That's right, brother.
That's how you're supposed to celebrate Derby Derby's birthday.
We got, we got a lot to talk about, I think the Hollywood reporter wants to kill me.
I feel like the Hollywood reporter wants, has put a hit out on me like straight up.
It's not, people aren't biting it though for the most part, because I do think that the
Swifties don't necessarily care or rather also find it to be a little bit much.
Um, the, uh, hollywood reporter wrote an entire article off of that A. D. R. Tweet.
Sampark a drag Taylor Swift in same wedding a dramatic misuse of public resources.
It's really funny because it's like, they've been tweeting it on the timeline, Hasan, I'm
Chinese, you're an idiot, okay.
Yeah, mainstream media couldn't get conservatives to assassinate them, so they moved on to their
next best cohorts, Swifties.
If we punted a Sompikers unloaded on Towers with the Travis Kills for having taxpayers
pick up the cost of security for their stars at a wedding in New York City this week, media
reports point to the multi-day wedding event costing around 15 million, which includes
security borne by taxpayers straightforwardly if likes to be like, yeah, I can do this.
And I kind of think it's a little bit tacky at best.
Yeah.
Um, they are, and there's like a million context notes on it too.
like guys they didn't pay for the cops like that's not like they blocked off
numerous roads what are we talking about I don't know why the Swifties are
claiming that Taylor Swift actually paid for the for the cops also I'm fairly
certain a lot of Swifties probably agree with me on this as well because like you
want, Swifties probably want their, this beautiful day, this glorious day to be like a day that
is not worthy and not like in fucking Madison Square Garden. I suspect that the reason why she
did that in MSG is because she's filming something and she'll, she'll then present it as like being
like a gift to her audience, you know what I mean? Like commoditizing and selling like her,
her wedding day in some capacity. That could be part of it. You know what I mean? Regardless, like
no, Swifty's fucking insane. They love it. I think some of them probably love it, but not all of them.
My point is, no matter, no matter who it is, no matter who it is, no matter how beloved
the figure is, it's just like when you're a billionaire, you're still going to do billionaire
things, you know, you're still going to do billionaire things. That's my point.
I saw a tweet that says she got married on July 3rd, so she can call her diverse album,
her independence day and I'm deaded, law, I don't know.
Swifty here, totally agree, her engagement announcement is so fun, no spectacle, and
a fun after the fact surprise.
Hassani poked a hornet's nest, the rabbit Swifty's are foaming in the mouth for you.
I don't think so.
I haven't seen it as much, so yeah, they're not, they're paying for their own security,
They're not paying for the NYPD, I don't think, but yeah.
They're more dangerous than Fox viewers.
Dog, they're outside your house right now.
I mean, who's going to be the first?
Honestly, who's going to be the first to get me finally?
Because it's going to happen.
I just don't know who it'll be.
it'll be the Swifties. Maybe it'll be the Swifties, but I think there's like woke Swifties
out there so maybe they can protect me.
Um, yeah, but it is, it's not lost on me that the Hollywood reporter has tweeted about this
over and over again throughout the day.
And I think it's because they want me dead.
Look, they tweeted about it three hours ago again.
They tweeted about it yesterday.
I feel like they're trying to kill me.
I don't know.
In any case, in any case, folks, folks, folks.
Um,
How's that I'd be hater on the Hollywood reporter? Yeah
They might just be farming off my name a little bit, which is fine
Yeah, we got look it's America's 250th birthday Donald Trump flew in the Mount Rushmore
last night we're gonna start there first we're gonna talk about his speech
from last night which literally was just about communism he looked like absolute
dookie he looked like absolute shit he sounded like absolute shit and he spent
most of his time talking about communism yeah he flew into the mountain dude
It's crazy. He flew into the mountain of Rushmore.
A mountain of Rushmore. It's a very good mountain.
It could be more beautiful if it had my face on it.
It's missing something. It's missing a handsome face.
Oh, I watched your new Larry David last night and it was kind of disappointing.
Can I say that as a big Larry David fan?
The HBO comedy special produced by Burdock, No Bummer, it actually was genuinely disappointing, I couldn't believe it.
Yeah, it was surprising.
Because I think Larry is at his best when he's more subtle.
When he's boisterous and loud, Larry, which he happens to be in at least the first episode
that I watched, it's not, it wasn't as good.
It almost felt forced.
Um, is jamming all the bits into a skin the worst way?
Yeah.
It's like, we get it.
You don't like being inconvenienced.
Like we, that's funny.
I like it.
I felt like typical boomer, lib humor.
Maybe.
ready to celebrate the 4th of July festivities and he got an early start last night. He flew to South
Dakota to get the speech on the eve of Independence Day and to take- Yeah, you know who was probably
there? Livin' Livita Loka, Terby. Terby, Derby, Terby, Derby. Running for Ginter Asset, Decatur.
Terby, Derby, Terby, Derby. I bet he was there loving it, dude. Lovin' every moment of it. He's
He's my president.
You changed his mind.
Because of Hassan Piker and the DSA, I'm starting to change my mind on electoral politics.
Hassan Piker has said openly that he's a harm reduction voter.
You voted for Kamala Harris on the 2024 election, which I don't really fuck with.
I always voted for the lesser two evils, and I never fucking liked the person that I was
voting for.
And this time around, I just couldn't do it.
I saw too many dead children and too many horrific things.
I just couldn't do it anymore.
But there are people in Hassan's comments, or his chat at least, that always accuse him
of not being far left enough, or that he's like a Zionist or whatever, and he always
refers to those people as like Maoist Third Worldists.
But he also says like, you guys are just chirping, like you're not building a coalition.
He tells them, build a vanguard when you're ready.
I'll be there to support you because they want the needle to be pushed all the way to
the other end of the spectrum, which would be great if things changed overnight, but
that's not how it's going to work.
The world isn't ready for that.
The American people aren't ready for that in its entirety.
Like you have to meet people where they are.
That's what he says a lot.
And with what he's been able to accomplish
with the people that he campaigns with
and the people that are campaigning,
winning elections are on Mammadani,
the entire DSA slate in New York,
what's going on in Colorado, Chris Rabb.
Like I'm starting to see it the other way around
where he's going out and building this DSA vanguard, whatever.
And this is gonna open a lot of people's eyes,
but a lot of people are gonna show up to support it.
Not only are people gonna start running more
because they see that it's possible,
but also I think that it'll get people to start voting more
because they're actually seeing stories
or reading articles about what's going on in New York
and what Zoran's been able to do.
like he's changing things materially for the better for his constituents and that will
get people to be like oh shit maybe we can change this and also like I get see if they
don't get it if they don't get it they'll get it after we win is that simple that's
why it's important to put your fucking head down and do the work okay rediscovering let
in from first principles, I just don't even don't even start that conversation. Everyone's
going to get so fucking annoying about it. Okay. Exhaust all available options. Electoralism is
only one route amongst many. Okay. It's fine. I don't want to, I don't want to get started with
that because everyone is going to, what do I always say? There's a diversity of tactics,
Exhaust already available options. Electoralism through this route is only one of many. That's number one. Number two
It's a massive legitimizer. It's a massive platform. It's a massive opportunity to break through red scare propaganda
That's part of the reason why you never said that. What do you mean? I say it all the fucking time
You always say Dirk a dirt it okay shut up. Oh my god
Anyway, anyway, it's one of many options, is one of many options, but it's a valid one.
It's a valuable one.
Okay?
The number one problem facing the American working class that is an impediment to progress
and impediment to building any sort of vanguardist movement, if that's your flavor, is a lack
of class consciousness is unbelievable stigma against socialism communism.
We have to break through that.
We have to first moment class consciousness, make the American working class recognize
their class position.
Then we also have to engage in political education.
Only then can you build a resilient working class movement.
is one route to achieve that. And I think while many have initially criticized these
tactics and there will still plenty, see, there will still plenty. How does it feel to
be a shill for the Democrats there? Yeah, see, there's still going to be guys like this.
Bro is actively funneling people away from the actual left. Yeah, bro, the actual left. Where is the actual left?
That's because you love the Dems. Yeah, I famously do. That's why they're actively demanding that I go, I go to prison.
Not you, that's for sure. No, where is the actual left? Did they leave America? Is that what happened?
Where's your left? What have you done materially? What have you done so far? What
have you done? What has your movement done? What have you guys done? Okay, no, no,
don't talk about MLK and stuff. Explain to me. What have you done materially in
the direction of the anti-zionist movement? Well, what about you? Well, you're
You're criticizing my techniques. You're criticizing what I've done. I mean, I got at least enough numbers on the board at this point
That I can point to it. It's like what eight
People that have gotten elected that are
Out and about demanding an embargo on Israel demanding accountability on Israel for its genocide. So what have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
Exactly. I think we all know
We all know what you've done. You've done nothing. This, this is all you've done. Okay. And this is all you got, baby. You got nothing. And it pains you every fucking day, every day of the week, you see day in, day out, how devastating things are.
and you have no power and you recognize your powerlessness and you know that building a movement, building a vanguard, doing true anti-zionism is just about posting about what other people are doing and how bad their methods are.
That's it.
Are you projecting? Really, between you and I, I think there's one guy who's ineffective.
Go cry about it in your splinter discord.
That's how you foment revolutionary sentiment.
You have nothing. Okay? You got nothing. That's it. All you got is this. That's the most effective thing you can do for charpers like this is to turn around and be like, what have you done?
What have you done materially to advance the cause of anti-zionism?
All they will say is well, I don't support the Democrats at least because they're fucking stupid. That's it
What I'm saying what have you done to move the needle?
Other than crying in your splinter discord server
A lot of people's criticism, like, oh, they're not even socialists or democratic socialists.
Like, yeah.
But just looking at it this way, instead of voting these fucking, like, blue, no matter
who people, be like, oh, let's vote these fucking run-of-the-mill Democrats in, and
then we'll move the party left, which never fucking happens.
The DSA is already further left than establishment Democrats, so get them in there just from
the get-go.
You don't have to move them left.
You can, which we should.
But I think that's part of the process, and that's something that Hasan, since I've been
paying attention to him, has been advocating for, but we haven't seen that materially until
the Zoran win.
Things haven't really changed that abruptly, but now we're seeing all these different candidates
win.
And if you're still like, oh, but they're not far enough, the one thing that I would
say is, since this has happened, Zoran, the whole DSA Slate in New York, Colorado, Chris
This is what I'm talking about, and I'm not going to get into it.
was even a possibility. I'm now a member of the DSA and grateful for his activism on Palestine.
He's one guy though. We need more people like him. I don't understand why people aren't seeing
that what the DSA is doing, the DNC, they can do to the DSA. The DSA realized it was more effective
to run the DNC infrastructure to pull them further left. I'm not a harm reduction voter either.
However, I'll take small incremental progress over hyper capitalism.
I did. Jamal Beaumont was on CNN defending Zoran.
Canada lost to Morocco, Rio, Jesus.
ASC with Clairval Desen, Dalia Lisa last night in Jackson Heights. Okay.
Look at, look at that.
As a relative layman, what policies do people have in the sea that would make the DSA candidates
left enough?
You got a dirty reformist in chat but so is your buddy Kalinsky.
Why do you even entertain MLs instead of going full reformist for all the MLs?
Where would you rather live, Sweden, Ireland, Uruguay, Cuba and China?
Are you really sincerely asking me that question?
I mean, China is a country that is run by a Communist Party that is objectively Marxist
Leninist.
Like, you can't, why would you bring up China in this conversation?
It's an automatic L. It's an automatic L qualifier.
Okay.
It's just like, it's run by a Marxist-Leninist party, you know, we can have an argument on
whether they are actually going to establish socialism by 2050 or not, but out of all those
countries you mentioned yes China absolutely I would prefer to live there
that.
What is this? America 250 going well. Yeah, this is really
funny.
They can't even, bro, they can't even put a fresh cone of paint on the shit. Okay. It's
It's still dookie and everyone can see it is so funny.
you
you

I'm in his agenda. God, he's so fucking annoying. I just, I hate Drew Pavlov so much. What a
fucking shithead. At least he's honest enough to just straight up come out and be like,
right wing. You know what I mean? Because a lot of these guys, if you recall, they started off as
like pro-nato-atlanticist liberals. There's something wrong with people outside of America
that hyper-focus on American politics. I don't know what it is. No disrespect to the many who are
watching from outside of the United States. But like many of these guys, for some very strange
reason are insanely liberal and they love American imperialism. They live for it. They're like,
I need it. It's the only thing that keeps me going. I need it. I need it. And then slowly but surely,
they I think lean into their more reactionary tendencies and they drop this whole like, I'm
actually a liberal NATO Atlanticist and they become kind of pro-maga.
Like their only anger towards MAGA is that they were dumb enough to think that Trump
actually was anti-NATO in any way, shape or form, you know what I mean?
When he's clearly not.
Like most normal people, myself included, when I lived outside of the United States of America
that pays close attention to American politics
because American politics,
American politics touches the rest of the world
in very meaningful ways.
But I don't understand how you could ride
for American politics in LARP
as though you are an American
or care about it to such a degree where you're like,
like, you know, there's always these like Nordic liberals
for some reason on election Twitter
that'll be like, you know,
California 23rd actually needs a moderate Democrat. You know what I mean?
And it's like, why do you know that? Like you should not have most Americans.
I live here and I don't have an opinion. I live in this state.
And I have an opinion on this. You live in Finland.
Why the fuck do you care about having a moderate liberal run
in some random fucking district in California? They'd be like, no,
you don't understand. Like we have to run. It's like, what do you mean? We bro?
You are Finnish, okay? You are in Finland. I don't understand it. I don't understand it at all.
Like, how did you find yourself disinvested in the minutiae of American politics, but also be such an unbearable dick eater for
unbearable dick eater for a dying movement, like a dying movement that gave us Trump twice, right?
Backbenchers that think they're part of the play, but I know, but like if you're a backbencher,
you might as well get involved with like the fun side of politics, like this growing grassroots
movement of democratic socialism or something like that. But you're instead, like that makes sense.
If you're like watching from afar, if you're watching from afar and you're looking at American
politics and you're very critical of American foreign policy and you want it to, you want
America to retreat, you want America to no longer create refugee crises everywhere around
the world that like your governments have to deal with, that like then create a unique
opportunity for these unvarnished reactionaries to blame everything on migrants or whatever
while simultaneously demanding more of that militarism that ends up creating a migrant crisis anyway.
Like, that makes sense. If you're anti-imperialist and you're focusing on American politics in the
same way that I was when I was growing up, that makes sense. But if you just don't get it, some
of us have massive spreadsheets of the precinct-level data on the Peruvian elections despite never
stepping foot in the country. I mean, all of that also is irrelevant because then the Trump
Admission comes in and is like just you know, put the fascist in charge and then they do
You're a libs want to be a part of the liberal America elite so bad they feel like they're outside the club in Europe I think
Yeah
For a while, Wilkes Gold's smoke screen any left is fun from view of the rest of the world
law.
Anyway.
People look, are they just races? I mean, Euro, Euro libs, some of them, yes. But I just don't
understand why you can be so nerdy about elections and also be so wrong. Like you have precinct level
data down to localities and like Arkansas. And you're still like, no, here's how liberalism
must win in America. It's like, how? If you're disinvested in the process, shouldn't it be
better to get invested in a, you know, movement that has some motion? Very strange, very, very
strange behavior. I welcome the election Twitter artists to be on the right side. And many of
them are coming. I think Zoran did a huge, Zoran made huge plays with all of those like autistic
election Twitter teens, because like he speaks in a manner that is so convincing for them. He
knows how to like hit those liberal tones. He knows how to dog whistle so well to those liberals
that every, every uroid is like, oh my God, he is literally the greatest political figure, which
is true. I mean, he is, he is a great political figure. Let's be real.
European Liberals usually have that strain of advanced racism in them just how they treat
their perceived dark groups maybe.
Europe Cucks suddenly forget their Islamophobia when they listen to Zoran Lamal, yeah.
Anyway, Mount Rushmore, South Dakota, greatest state, and the greatest nation of all time.
Last night, Donald Trump flew in to Mount Rushmore to deliver an incredible speech.
Some might say the greatest speech of all time.
speech seemed like a direct response to the mayor of New York's or I'm not any
speech about what it means to be American on America's birthday. It was very strange.
It felt like Donald Trump was directly responding to everything that he's seen on Fox News for the
last week or so, for the last month or so, about the growth of democratic socialism,
which is secretly actually radical revolutionary communism. He spoke about expelling and exiling
communists, man. He was pressed. I don't know why. Let's take a look.
Looking at the fireworks over Mount Rushmore. Tonight he'll be making remarks here at the
National Mall. CBS's Torian Small is nearby on the Mall with more on the President's speech
and the tight security in place here. Torian, good morning.
Yeah, good morning. Happy 250, Adriana. So it was a mix of political messaging with
patriotic pageantry as President Trump once again called on Congress to kill the filibuster in
order to pass his national voter ID legislation. This also, as he honored the nation's history
in a speech yesterday. Launching in the shadow of four presidents. I'm sorry. I don't think you
You can, I don't think you can say that he was honoring the country in any way, shape
or form with this awful fucking speech.
I mean, the speech was dooky.
It was straight up dooky, man.
It was dooky beans.
It was bad.
Right.
We gather on the eve of one of the most extraordinary days in the history of the world.
Tomorrow we mark 250 years of glorious independence and 250 years of majestic American freedom.
Nothing like it. President Trump kicked off America's 250th birthday at Mount Rushmore Friday,
a preview of the pageantry in store for the weekend celebrations in D.C.
Massive military flyovers. Yeah, apparently the flowers are
It's insanely annoying. They're so loud and they're happening non-stop.
It's also waste of resources, but what are you going to do? Hell yeah, turbo derby brother,
we got big ass, we got big ass, big old, big old planes flying overhead. I love that shit.
Very patriotic, just seeing the flyovers and it went out. It's just really cool.
Reagan National Airport shutting down for hours Saturday to clear the skies.
The president predicts hundreds of thousands will pack the great American state fair, 50
states, and 50 exhibits across the nation.
That's definitely not happening, I don't think.
Derby Derby had a statement.
Derby Derby said, God bless the empty Coder, God bless America.
Our state is heard to be the freest, boldest, and the best in the nation.
Thank you, President Trump, for his door at night.
I love you, Mr. President, President,
Prime President, Donald Trump, I love you.
I love you so much.
I love you as much as I love Mount Rushmore.
Now I'm your special guest, Mr. President.
All money ain't good money.
What?
Well, black people still put in positions of dance for the financial money.
I wonder what these reporters really think when they report about our most indecent president.
What does that have to do with anything?
I don't know what's going on.
Amphanthor, I got something for you.
I got something for you.
And another, I told you so moment, Amphanthor, I'm going to trigger the fuck out of Amphanthor,
but or maybe they're going to be like, yeah, no, I already told you so.
So some that I always talk about is that nobody actually, nobody actually covers black people
decently in this country. Obviously our media is very white. Let's be real.
One of the things that people always talk about when they reference
black people is like, oh, they're kind of reactionary. They're moving away from the
Democratic Party. Not only is that always overstated, it's bullshit, but also demographic
reports show consistently that black people have the most progressive politics and are
The most open-minded to socialism. So we have to do away with this, uh, this, this ridiculous thing
that we see on Twitter. Here are the facts. The economists, you go poll shows, here are some
words that people might use to describe themselves. As far as socialist goes, okay, black people
are at 13%. White people are 7%, Hispanic people at 8%. Okay.
Okay? So, with the racial breakdown of voters, black people have the highest percentage of
self-described socialists. When you ask the American public, with the racial breakdown
of white, black, and Hispanic, capitalism or socialism, which is the better economic
system, black people say 70% of black people say capitalism is better. 25% say socialism
is better. Same with the Hispanic voter population. Okay. Only 17% of white people say that.
Socialism favorability ratings. Again, do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion
on socialism? When asked, do you have a favorable opinion on socialism? Black people say by
39% that they have a favorable view on socialism. The favorability percentage for white people
is 30% and for Hispanic people, it's at 34%. When was this poll taken literally last month?
It says it right here, June 26, 29th, 2026. Ever vote for a Democratic socialist?
44% of black people say yes, that they would vote for a Democratic socialist. 23% of Hispanic
voters say yes, only 27% of all white voters say yes. Do you understand?
So whenever people chirp about black people, all black people are not fucking with the DSA,
DSA so white, black people hate socialism. Wrong. Okay, wrong. When you look at the numbers,
when you look at a demographic breakdown of who is far more open minded towards socialism,
there's always black people number one, and then Hispanic voters number two.
Because of the partisan breakdown, I think this still suggests that socialism is more popular
among white Democrats? No matter. Across the board. We're looking at the racial breakdown
across the board. Okay. I wonder why the Establishment Dem Hacks conveniently fail to know that Dariel
Lisa decisively won black precincts. Yep. Darryleza won 55% of the plurality black precincts.
She also won the polarity, plurality white districts. Why can't I talk to it? What's
happening? I've seen this before the young white high
educated voters who recently moved to the black precinct have a very high voter turnout,
which is consistent with their economic class. Prove me wrong. Prove yourself right first.
regularly find that black Americans view socialism more favorably and capitals
and more unfavorably than any other racial group across the country. A bunch of
elected socialists are in plurality black districts.
and
and
and
Also, the joke was about how I know how you behave and fathom and that's, I mean, you're
proving it.
That was, I was lightly ribbing you, okay?
But it turns out I wasn't that wrong with the joke.
Why you wearing suits all the time now?
Who's paying you?
You are. All of you. I'm paid by you, the people. For you, the people.

we will carry the flame as we do every single day.
Anyway, we talked about black socialism or black affinity towards socialism.
And that will continue to grow.
I'm upset you didn't wear this.
Yes, infant door is the goat.
You're the best.
Alright.
No more history and a glimpse at the future with the model of Trump's art choice.
I know, but this is America's birthday.
I had to wear my birthday suit.
What?
Comey says, God damn.
Thank you for the 50 bones.
Play for fair goers.
We're just being out here, going to all the states, still haven't seen Pennsylvania yet,
but excited to get over there.
Trump teased a grand finale, what he's calling the largest fireworks show in history, and
the security to match nearly 5,000 National Guard troops, miles of fencing, and airport
style screening.
I will tell you that you've had hundreds, if not thousands, of law enforcement.
Holy shit, we're already at level 5 hydrant.
That's not what a birthday suit means.
I know I was making a joke, um,
huh.
Well, it's planning this event for several months before the fireworks,
a presidential gift.
Trump Friday pardoned six people convicted of tampering with vehicle
emission controls, calling it quote, weaponization and stupidity.
And as we mentioned,
the president set to speak again tonight to the summon the national mall shortly
before 10 p.m. That's before that massive fireworks show and as for his
calls to kill the filibuster. Senate Republicans have already said that's
a no. Adriana.
As we approach this magnificent anniversary, we see our American identity
under a renewed attack. A generation after we fought and won the cold war
against the menace of communism. There is now a resurgence of the communist
menace in our land. Communism is a mortal threat to American liberty. It is the greatest
threat to our country. We're not going to let this happen to us. Believe me, we're not
letting it happen. Because communism is the enemy of free people everywhere. After 250
years, American freedom still rings. The American...
It's catnip for boomers, I think, but that's it and nobody else.
It's not dissimilar to like constantly calling every critic of Israel an anti-Semite, but
I think this has run its course, especially considering that there's not really a militant
opposite poll that America is waging a cold war against.
The cold war is over, right?
one. Most people that are under the age of 40, or even 65 really, have mostly known a world
devoid of communism, right? They've mostly known a world where the USSR doesn't exist,
and that America is the domineering force. And maybe in the early 90s, they thought,
Oh, it's over. This is fantastic. We won permanent growth. It's here
But very quickly after that period of excitement did people realize that things were actually devastating
We have suffered from our success
Set to it run with the 250 big bones. Oh my god. We're at level 8 hype train already. What the hell is going on?
I know you like the number
So, you can't really make a convincing argument that we have to be terrified, especially because
the major communist world power right now is China.
And China, whether we find this to be appropriate or not, has been deliberately anti-militarist
in its foreign policy.
The USSR has actively opposed American imperialism, you know, for all of his faults and failures.
Khrushchev was a lion, as I like to say.
China has not done that.
So from that perspective, it's much more difficult to present this big, scary menace of communism
because in the age of the internet, people can just look at what's going on in China
and realize that the conditions in China are objectively good.
trajectory of China is objectively positive. And you look at America on the other hand,
you look at our hollowed out institutions, our ghost towns that once used to be places of industry
where people could have a real single income household, have multiple children.
Heck, they could have maybe two families, one secret and one not so secret family.
That's how much money people used to make back in the day as opposed to now.
No one can own a home.
All of these cities have been hollowed out, left in a state of dire disrepair and getting
only worse.
look at China and their rural areas, their rural villages that may not have had working
sewage systems a decade ago, now have robot delivery, unbelievable infrastructure, unbelievable
development, they are on an upwards trajectory.
We are not.
And everyone can see it.
So you can't really point to China and be like, well, don't you, I mean, you don't think
we should oppose China?
Don't you think we should be fearful of China?
Most people are going to be like, I don't care, man, just give me health care, please.
What the fuck is going on?
And I think a lot of people can feel it, even if they're not knowledgeable about what's
going on in China, even if they are in some ways a little worried about the Chinese menace
or communism or whatever. It's difficult to get people to buy in to what's happening
in America, right? Yes, we're at level nine. I've trained two minutes remaining almost
level 10 to carry the motherfucking flame. Do you see what I mean? You can't get people
to buy in to blind patriotism. You can't get most people rather to buy into blind patriotism
if they're suffering, if they're struggling. It's much harder to create social cohesion
of the sort. You can do it. Trump does it very well. You can do it through a cult-like
understanding of the world. But the number of people that will buy in to this blind patriotism
is always going to be smaller and smaller and smaller, especially when you are actively
selling out your constituents, when you're building data centers in their backyards,
you're telling them, as Trump has, that they're probably never going to be able to own a home.
And the reason for why is because, well, we can't hurt boomers and their nest egg.
We can't actually diminish their property values for the ones that already own a home,
the boomer class.
So you will never get a house.
When you say stuff like that, people hear it.
When you say stuff like that, you are eradicating what confidence that remained in you and your
governance for an entire generation of people.
40, 30 seconds remaining at 83%.
Will we lose the hype train or will we carry the flame chat?
Holy shit 20 seconds remaining with 95% oh my god oh my god 10 seconds remaining oh my
god oh my god oh my god then there it is wild wise wit my family's races please no more
Bollywood my famous wrist dinner gonna talk to me again. It's July 4th we're doing country.
I judge, I prejudge the quality of a Charlie Kirk AI cursification by how good
Charlie Kirk looks and this one might not be as good but we'll see.
A man of conviction, a heart reborn.
He spoke the truth.
When the cost was high, he lived for Jesus,
unafraid to die.
We are Charlie Curt.
We carry the flame.
We'll fight for the gospel.
We'll honor his name. Hell yeah.
We are Charlie Cook. His courage our own. Together unbroken.
Make heaven known.
This is Barnes & Noble music.
His family held near. A home built on scripture.
This is literally playing, this is steady playing at Barnes & Noble while you're shopping for
a manga, straight up.
This is playing on a United Airlines flight when you first get in and you're waiting
while boarding is happening and they play this song.
This is literally playing at a low volume.
You put your headphones in but you can still kind of feel it in the background and it's
annoying as fuck.
I think the biggest L for America and I mean this is really is that they just like like
they don't play We Are Charlie Kirk.
I hope Taylor Swift's song sang We Are Charlie Kirk at her wedding.
I hope that that was at least one of the songs that she sang.
We'll make heaven only our tongue in earth, forever alive.
We are time eager
With God, we will rise
Respect
That was beautiful and we did it
We did it. Anyway, let's get back to this guy who's not carrying the motherfucking flame
We can dream still lives and the American flag still flies more proudly than ever before.
After two and a half centuries, we know that this is not an ending.
This is only the beginning of the golden age of America.
It's great speech.
President Trump with a stark warning against communism because we've been watching what's
happening in these elections.
And he mentioned it yesterday at Mount Rushmore.
Well, here to discuss is New York congressman, Mike Lawler, did a great job on the hill the other day standing up for Sharon and Gordon's family. Thank you so much.
Thank you. What do you make of this? We had the president last night saying communism will never happen, but you live in New York. You saw what happened last week when these three socialists were elected in the primary.
And America hating and Israel hating. No question. And it wasn't just.
Yeah. No, I can't believe they're America hating and Israel hating.
Brother, y'all got to stop sneaking that in the combos. Okay. It's not, it's not going
to work. Okay. Just look, not to give you guys ideas on how to better message on this
issue, but you got to drop this Israel shit because even your own family's bill, wait
a minute, Israel hating. Why? They always have to sneak that in. Okay. They always got
I'm bragging to me. I'm bragging to me. You are not slick, my man. Oh, these guys are
the America haters. And also they hate Israel, which is the same, which is the same, of course.
You must not. The three congressional races, it was state legislative. They won over half
a dozen state legislative seats. You know, I look right here with the Statue of Liberty
in the background. That's where I proposed to my wife, an immigrant from Eastern Europe.
She escaped the Soviet Union, communism, came here in search of a better life by herself.
And I think of Zoran Mandani, who I served with in the State Assembly, a Ugandan-born
immigrant who came to the United States of America and is now the mayor of the financial
capital of the world. And instead of embracing the fact that only in America could that
happened that a Ugandan-born immigrant could become the mayor of the largest city in America.
Instead of embracing that, he talked down about America. He degraded America, sitting behind
George Washington's desk and basically embracing socialism. And frankly, I think really desecrating
America's 250th anniversary, uh, in a way that our founding fathers certainly would never have
envisioned when engaging and embarking on this experiment. Can we just play some of the sound
congressman real quickly of what he said? He talked about us being a contradiction. Here he is.
As we mark 250, I love that they got the, they got the notes. Like it's not even subtle. Okay. I'm
I'm sorry. I don't think these guys know what they're doing. I don't think these guys recognize
what they're doing. Okay. Forcing Zoran to be the figurehead of the entire Democratic
Party is an unbelievable gift. Oh my God. These guys are so bad. Oh my God. I don't want to
say anything at this point. I don't want to say anything at all. But they are aggressively
placing Donald Trump on the one side, and then Zoram Amdani on the other side and being like,
see, this is our guy. This is your guy. Look how bad your guy is. He's a communist. Not realizing,
not realizing that this is only going to benefit us. It's going to benefit the DSA.
It's going, it's even going to benefit the Democratic Party?
It's free ball.
It's amazing. Oh my god. Yeah, stop, stop talking. Okay. Well, I, I talk.
Do not correct your opponent while they're making a mistake. Listen, everything I say,
these guys think is wrong. They oppose me every step of the way. So it's fine. It's great.
Hopefully they keep doing this shit.
it. It's also strange because Donald Trump does not even dislike Zoran Mamdani, right?
I mean, this is phenomenal. This is so good. Because this, once again, gets even the liberals
who despise Fox News to also come to terms with liking Zoran if they hadn't liked him already or
if they didn't know about him.
This gets liberals on board with the program. This is basically the equivalent of Zahram
Amdani doing that kindergarten thing with Barack Obama times 10, okay? Do you understand?
If you recall when Zahram did that thing with Obama and everyone was like, dude, that's
a war criminal. I was like, I know, okay? But trust me, Democrats love that war criminal,
They love him and that kind of association is good for him. It's good for us
It's good to like
Make democratic socialism palatable for some of the demographics that might not actually like or might be negatively
Polarized against it because of all the residual anti-burning hatred. It's a fucking fantastic thing because we need those people to vote, right?
Right? This is 10x that. Positioning Zoran Mamdani being like America's a nation of immigrants,
and that's what's so beautiful about America. And I love America and all these immigrants
also love America. We love America. And then on the other side, having like ugly as Donald
Trump stumbling into this, stumbling into this moment and being like, you know, who
I hate communism like that fucking Zoran Mamdani
Without actually mentioning him because they're lovers, right? You don't want to lovers the haters arc for Donald Trump and Zoran. It's clear
He's like and I have a special place in my heart for that one coming but also at the same time I just hate the movement, right?
My 60 year old mom who worked for north of Grumman supports literally every position of the DSA. Yeah
I mean, that's the point.
That is the point because everybody loves the platform, but they think they hate the
moniker.
Everybody loves the platform.
Everybody loves the agenda, but they've been negatively polarized.
They've been conditioned into believing that this is scary, especially older people.
Just like this, change their mentality.
They change their minds.
They go, you know, he can't be that bad.
I heard a speech.
I agree with it.
America is a nation of immigrants.
You know, I heard a speech and I liked it.
You know what I didn't like?
Donald Trump's speech.
I hate Donald Trump.
I love everything he hates.
And I hate everything he loves.
50 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 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.
most giving nation. What is he talking about? It's truly mind boggling. America has done more to
ensure freedom and opportunity and prosperity for everyone, not just here in art. Yeah, here's the
problem. That argument rings hollow. Maybe for the boomers that watch Fox News, they'll be like,
hell yeah, we are the most giving nation. I love Americans love fucking putting that up.
It'd be like, oh, we're the most charitable nation on the planet. Fuck you, brother. First of all,
You literally killed USAID and you loved every moment of that. That was number one.
That's been devastating for a lot of the countries that were built to rely on America's
fake charitable contributions that actually eviscerated their domestic agricultural output
while simultaneously making them reliant on our farm subsidized agricultural output.
But then also on top of that, Zaron isn't even talking about like the, the, uh, most
charitable nation America in USA, he's talking about how callous hands built the value that
stays at the top of America in the hands of soft, buttery billionaires.
So you're saying it's a good thing USA got cut? No, I'm not saying that.
USAID is far more complex than that, okay? But once you build that reliance, that necessity,
you can't just shut off the faucet. And what we did is the worst of both worlds, right?
A big part of USAID, there's also very good things within it, right? It's a massive program.
It's America's soft power tool, okay? But it's totally ridiculous. There should be like,
yeah, we're going to shut that. We're going to shut the medical aid, for example. It's
unbelievable. You're out of your mind. I'm never going to be on board with that.
But I'm also never going to be on board with designing an over-reliance on U.S. subsidized
agriculture that has gutted the domestic agriculture programs that these countries might have had
only to just leave them astray.
totally, it's totally disastrous. It is barbaric what we have done. It's also bad for, you know,
domestic big ag anyway. It's not even great for the farmers who relied on that subsidy,
because they were sending a lot of their yields overseas by way of USAID.
So, in the short term, it benefits virtually no one.
Country, but around the world, when you think back to the Revolutionary War,
the only thing that I had a disagreement with Zoran on was when he said like it was farmers
that did the American Revolution. Maybe you went a little too hard on the revisionism there,
buddy. I don't agree with that assessment. As a matter of fact, it's just not true.
It's just not true. I think the appropriate way to angle that is to say that while a progressive
revolution, the American Revolution had idealism baked into it that we have never been able to
fully achieved, but perhaps that is a part of the American experiment, is to constantly seek out
the values enshrined. The values enshrined in the Constitution, this high-minded ideal point
that we have always struggled to achieve and have failed to achieve at times, but that struggle
still continues. I mean, I think that's what it is. At least historically, that's how people
have framed it. That's how leftists have framed it. The values that we all align with that's
in the Constitution has been an ongoing experiment that we're constantly pushing towards that goal.
I mean, we've never had a full-blown democracy until the voting rights act, right? I mean, we
we did not have a real democratic process in this fucking country for the longest goddamn time.
That's a part of the American project and a part of the American experiment.
And we had like a good 60 year run with that.
That was never fully realized and now we're gutting it again.
We're regressing.
I skipped over the women's suffrage movement because I'm a misogynist.
because black people couldn't vote, man. What are we talking about? Like, yeah, sure,
women were allowed to vote, but then black people weren't allowed to vote. So what do you, what do
you mean? Like, did that still people that were not allowed to vote? Like, yes, you're right,
but also that's just another chapter, you know?
The Civil War, the World War II, and what American blood and treasure did to ensure
freedom, it's truly mind-boggling to listen to that speech from the mayor of New York
City and especially 25 years after 9-11, you think of Rudy Giuliani at ground zero, America
under attack. Zoran Mondani embraces people like Hassan Piker. And you know, what the
f- what? What is going on, brother? Brother, why am I on Fox News every damn day, bro?
Dude, I used to, I used to cherish these moments where I would catch a stray.
You know what I mean?
We're like randomly somebody would name drop me and I'd be like, whoa, that's sick.
My ops, nowadays they bring me up.
Nowadays, Fox News brings me up every single day.
Every damn day, they've developed Hassanabid derangement syndrome.
These socialists that win election that are saying America is at fault for 9-11.
It's crazy.
this America, they will tell you belongs only to those with the right accent or right shade
of skin. Screw you. I mean, what kind of attitude is this? What kind of message do you think
that will resonate with the people that put him in office? Sadly, he might be right.
For some, the politics of envy and jealousy are rising. But I fundamentally believed in
the goodness of America and the American people, and they will reject this soundly in November
in the midterms, but more broadly as we move forward and embark on our next 250 years,
this is the greatest country on the face of the earth.
And no matter our differences, no matter the politics of the moment, the fact is we should
all be grateful for living in the United States.
Well said Congressman, and good luck in your election.
Every time you run is tough.
It is.
It'll be a fight, but we'll win.
All right.
Congressman Mike Lawler.
Great to see you.
Thank you.

My fellow Americans.
America we need a new beginning. Interesting times with Ross Douthit. Oh my God. Oh my
God. Here's a guy who agrees with Trump's ridiculous anti-communist sentiment through
and through. Okay. Telling us about how we need to chart a more moderate path forward.
Also, happy birthday America to Pennsylvania.
One thing that I found very interesting, July 4th, 1776, birthday of America.
In Pennsylvania, it was 76 degrees.
Let's take a look at how, in the 250 years, let's take a look at what the, uh, Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania climate has changed.
It's a hundred degrees right now.
I think it was Benny Franks that wrote it down.
Isn't that crazy?
That they were so diligent in their note taking that they
actually, they actually wrote down the temperature 1776.
it was 76 degrees, 250 years later, it is 100 degrees in Pennsylvania right now. Okay.
One Hondo.
I don't know if that would be considered a upgrade
Okay, so the temps are going up just like the stocks. Sorry we're winning so hard I guess that doesn't mean shit inflation dumbass
Yeah, this is the one area where you don't want inflation
Meanwhile, it's a perfect 76 here in Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, former, also known as Mexico.
But, uh, Ross doubt that my fellow Americans on this 250th anniversary, Great Republic, I think
we're unlikely to have a unifying address for many politicians. So I thought I'd get a little
dressed up and offer one for myself. I love Ross Douthit, man. He's such a fucking, he is such a
G. What a hilarious person in his own meaningful way. Anyway, there is one guy who's aware of what
we're up to. And I don't like it. I don't like being noticed by him. But he's also noticed this
Zara Mamdani thing. Steve Bannon reacted to the Mamdani speech. He said, if you dismiss a guy,
You're missing something. It's not just this guy. It's the team around him
He warns republic is not to underestimate the movement behind him says you're going to have to use your agency
He just gave you a lesson and rhetoric and the reason I played that live
This is quite serious if you dismiss this guy and dismiss the people around him and dismiss the money and back of him
you are
missing
Something that's more powerful than Obama and it's not just this guy
It's the team around him. Of course, you saw what he had in the backdrop. He also took, I mean,
the part about New York City and the part about Washington and the part that Patrick
K. O'Donnell of us will do tomorrow on the Fourth of July. And then I told you on the
7th of the 6th, every day, we'll talk about it. You could have lifted the military part.
And the glories of the revolution, yes, you could have lifted that right from
forward, and I'm sure they've done some of this. They've taken, they took the, um, and
this is what Marxists do. They want to take the rhetorical flourishes or take the symbology
to make you feel, and particularly to make-
Dog, this is so funny to say as a modern conservative, like a MAGA Republican, that's literally
all Republicans do. That's the whole point, okay? The idea that the principled Americanism
is this far right ideology is idiotic. That's why I don't cede territory to a lot of leftists who
will be like, what are you talking about? America is a nation designed by genocidal slave owners,
which is true, okay? But there's also idealism baked into the constitution that we're supposed
to strive towards. There are two ways of looking at that. And historically speaking, a lot of
revolutionary movements have actually said over and over again, look, these are values that we
aspire to. These are values that we aspire towards. And the struggle continues as long as we don't
actually achieve these values and we have not, right?
A lot of people also don't realize for some reason, for one reason or another,
that there is something unique in the American Revolution, okay? Part of the reason why I maintain
the idea that it's a progressive revolution regardless of its bourgeois characteristics
is because it was against the British Empire, the most successful colonial force that the
world had ever seen at that moment. And perhaps that is the reason why the likes of Ho Chi Minh,
Mao Zedong, Karl Marx, and numerous other theorists and revolutionary figures actually
pointed to the American Revolution and saw something positive within it. Okay.
Okay? That's it. The amount of Ameribus that have come, the amount of Ameribus that have
become historic revolutionary anti-imperialist figures is virtually all of them as a matter
effect. I think like I'm almost certain that virtually every single anti-imperialist figure
has at some point pointed to the American Revolution and the Founding Fathers and the
principled stanzas that they took as good. Now, there's two reasons for it. Okay, there's two
reasons for that. One is because, let's be real, a lot of the white boys were white.
So they also, they also kind of fell for the whole, you know, black people weren't real
human beings at the time mentality where there was a robust debate, right? Where they just
didn't think about that aspect of it at all. They don't got internet. Okay. They just didn't
have internet back then. You know, and that's a that's a blind spot for sure. And I recognize
that. Right. Oh, yeah, totally. That was it. Idealism for who they deemed as people classically.
Oh yeah, totally, that's it. Guys, I'm not saying that they were correct. I'm just trying
to help you identify the redeemable qualities of not only the American Revolution, but also
help you identify why so many revolutionary, anti-imperialist figures actually looked at
it as a positive, as something to take notes from, as a revolution to take notes from.
That's it.
The problem is not that the American Revolution, but the Fukuyama-ass attitude that everything
was complete, no more DLC.
What is this?
I need a lol or something.
Here's handy spamming, but Hassan 9-11, wait, what?
What?
He was talking to Stephen A. Smith?
I'm confused.
a party, Stephen A.
You get Mamdani, then you get a sixth gender
Telerico in Texas, but then you got Bernie Sanders,
Pocahontas, Mamdani, the squad, AOC,
all of these candidates.
I wanna read.
There's something so funny about constantly
putting Elizabeth Warren in the brigade.
Stephen A. Smith knows this on this crazy.
Oh no, you're being nuanced.
going to get you for this spam? Sure, whatever. I don't really care about Sean
had a deep spamming the Hassan 9 11 moment.
Lower information voters, lower information people. It's what I said
about what he offers. They offer free rent. They offer, you know, cheap food. They
offer this. When you're sitting, Mars wouldn't have idealized the American
Revolution if he knew more. He lived in 1940s in Germany. It's literally because
didn't have internet. I think that's part of it. But to say that Marx wasn't an Ameribu or heavily
invested in what's going on in America is crazy. He wrote letters to Abe Lincoln.
Did I say 1940s? I'm sorry, 1840s.
Yeah, Carl, Carl Mark. And no, they did not sex one another.
A. Blinken actually never replied to him, unfortunately.
As far as we know, Carl Mark there, and you're going through these economic times and you
read every day about guys taking companies public and becoming tree-in-arrows, or you
see that, you know, 400 millionaires have been, yes, I understand, that's part, that,
I would say that's late-stage capitalism.
But when you have a capitalist system that has very few capitalists in it, when you have
very few people that are actually hardwired into the system for the creation of wealth
so that all boats rise, obviously given your efforts in at least some sort of meritocracy
and trying to be some sort of meritocracy, but you have a system with very few capitalists
in it, what you just heard is very appealing.
And what he does is play on the symbols of America to say, hey, we're actually more
America.
We represent the true narrative.
This is what you're going to have to combat.
This is why this is a nationwide movement.
This is why it's been many years in the planning and have very sophisticated people in back
of it and a lot of money.
And the Marxist understanding of history, liberal revolutionary movements like the American
Revolution, the French Revolution, and later revolutions of 1848 were movements of historical
progress away from a feudal and aristocratic society. Yes. That's why I say it was a progressive
revolution. It's true. It was objectively a successful revolution against one of the
most powerful colonial powers on the planet. Okay? A colony fighting back, a settler colony
fighting back against the British Empire and winning. It's very important. And it did
move the needle. In any case, Steve Bannon understands what Zoran is doing here and is
very frustrated with it, very worried about it, it seems. But Donald Trump positioning
himself against Zoran Mamdani in this way is good for us. It's very good for us, especially
because Zoran is very charismatic. He's very nice with it, right? He's very nice with it.
It's a good thing.
So you know, shout out to Donald Trump talking about communism in this way.
I don't think this is actually going to win him any favors with a lot of liberals and
a lot of people in the margins who despise him.
He is a repulsive figure and he is an odious figure.
He is everything that's wrong with late stage capitalism, everything that's wrong with America
right now.
He is so perfectly representative with everything that he does with every breath he takes, which
which is precisely the reason why when he actually places the crosshairs on a political
movement that he calls communism, I don't think this is going to be bad for the Democratic
Socialists of America.
I think it's going to be very good for us, okay?
Very good for the left broadly.
Because this, in my opinion, will separate the boys from the men.
This will, once again, cause a lot of the establishment right-wing Democrats to chirp
and say, see, you're the reason why we're going to lose, see?
This odious repulsive man is now calling all of us communists, right?
Because they're right-wing, objectively they're right-wing.
The only thing that those people care about is maintaining their power within the Democratic
party.
measure here is to say they call all of us communists who cares. There is no cold war any longer.
This kind of posturing doesn't matter. We just want, we just want insert policies, okay?
We want health care. We want, we want health care for all, housing for all, free college
education for all. And we have the money to do this. And the way to do this is through
redistributive policies that are going to, to, to redesign society. We're going to take,
We're going to take ownership over our productive output labor and the hands the callous hands of labor are the ones that create the value
So why should that value remain in the hands of the select few the trillionaires and the billionaires?
right
You said odorous wrong. No odious is the correct term that i'm using here. Um,
But i guess he does poop in his diapers
So
You can be loyal to Carl Marx or you can be loyal to America.
You can be a communist.
Again, Carl Marx, again, Massive Ameribu, loved the first Republican president famously.
Well, not so famously in America, but he did, right?
So that's real.
That's a real thing.
Yeah, you can only be loyal to Karl Marx or you can be loyal to America. Okay. Well,
you can be a patriot. You cannot be both as for those who peddle Marxist lies about our
heritage tell our children that we live on stolen land or that our heroes were oppressors.
They're doing something much worse than slandering our past. They are slandering and attacking
our future. Not going to let that happen. They're trying to tear down the great American
character to destroy the people who declared independence, who crossed the Delaware, who
settled the West and conquered the skies. You know who those people are, but we will
never let that happen. Our American ancestors.
It's so funny to see people on Fox talk to normie Democrats and be like, you guys don't
believe in open borders. You guys don't believe in abolishing the police, social, etc. Despite
spending the last 30 years saying those same things about people from Bill Clinton, the
Kamala Harris? Yes. But that's good. That means that the conversation is shifting to a place
of normalcy. We are forcibly ratcheting back the Overton window to the left piece by piece.
Every single victory does this because that puts the Republicans in a defensive posture.
This is what I'm trying to explain. This is what I've been trying to explain. This is
Part of the method, right?
This was part of the theory of change
that I have been defending for a decade plus,
and now I'm actually seeing it in action,
and it's a wonderful experience, okay?
It's a wonderful thing to observe.
I never really thought that we would see it.
I never really thought that the seeds
that I was planting would grow in my lifetime,
but I'm seeing it, okay?
And what's interesting about this is, you are seeing Republicans for the first time
ever retreat.
For the first time ever, you are seeing Republicans take a defensive posture, because the Democrats
have not had a vision in the affirmative, right?
for the last three, four decades, since the Reagan era especially, have decided to play
the defensive role. They are always telling you who they are not, who they oppose. They're
never telling you who they are and what they stand for. Now that we have a different crop
of Democrats, Democratic socialists, who are coming out and saying, this is what we are for.
Therefore, this is the idealism that we want to represent.
These are the policies that we want to implement.
We are fighting for the working class, and that's precisely what we're going to do.
That's the agenda that we have.
That's our focus.
All of a sudden, the Republicans have to play defense against that.
Instead of coming out and running the gamut on a litany of different cultural war issues
that they have seen tremendous success on, and then have the Democratic Party in its
entirety run against those culture war issues by conceding on a lot of the hysteria to
say, oh, well, we're just gonna be a little bit more, we're gonna be a little bit less
vicious to trans people, and that's why you should vote for us.
Instead of doing that, now, we're having that battle on our terms.
That's what's causing the Republican Party and its messaging apparatus to all of a sudden
turn around and identify that there are such things as normal Democrats, capitalist Democrats.
It turns out there is a distinction, but that's a good thing, okay?
It's not a bad thing.
It's a good thing.
did not shed their blood at Concord and Trenton, Gettysburg and Shiloh, Midway and Normandy,
just so that a band of thieves, radicals, and lunatics could come in and loot, pillage
our nation, our heroes died to win, build, and to save, and to build truly a great country,
the greatest country ever in the world.
This is really funny, but Republicans have been getting really ass mad about Francesca
Hong. This guy, Kangmin Lee is a Korean reactionary. I don't even know if he lives in America or
not, but he's saying this is why foreigners and their children should not hold public
office.
Sampaiga raised 54 grand for Francesca Hong's 57 grand, I think. A non-citizen running
as a social for Wisconsin governor.
Most do not assimilate into America founding or love the country. They bring subversive
ideologies that cater the foreigners rather than native citizens.
Both myself and Francesca Hong are American born. I would go so far say that in a lineup
where white patriots were going to decide who's more American, me or this fucking guy,
I suspected the ones that haven't seen me on Fox News would probably point to me and
say, well, that's the real American, right? So it's really strange.
Last thing we're talking about is Hassan Piker. So Hassan Piker, he just raised $54,000 for
Francesca Hong, the Democrat Socialist of America candidate for Wisconsin Governor.
The Wisconsin Democratic primary is August 11th. So yeah.
But who do you think, who do you think white nativists would think is like a real American?
You can put that cross behind you all day, baby boy, in a lineup between you and I.
Who do you think these irrational reactionary forces that you are so desperately caping
for?
Who do you think they're gonna look at and be like, well, we got pig one of the two?
No hat, of course.
so funny. Why are your ops always people that would have been bullied at your school?
You just identified a big chunk of, I mean a big chunk of the resentment coming from
the far right. They've always been fucking nerds.
points. Rose accident points indistinguishable for more Pegasus. I know they got that internet
an accent.
Yeah, failed theater kids.
Representative Mike Wallace is the Democratic House candidate.
Dr. Adam Halloween is elected in November.
He will demand a full congressional investigation
into his connections and links terrorist organizations.
great. Why are you showing me this right now? It's from June. Like fuck Mike Waller.
Anyway, here's what AOC said, kind of struggling with patriotism right now, what do you have
to say to those folks?
I have to say that no one can take America away from us.
America is not, you know, whoever is in charge right now.
I think that to me, my understanding of our country is all of the great people and movements
that are a part of it.
To me, America is, yes, our founders and our abolitionists.
They are labor movements.
They are our women's movements.
They are, it's everything that makes up our country.
And I think that America is such a-
I don't think it's farfetched to say that America both represents the slaver, but also
John Brown, okay?
Am I being too idealistic when I say this?
It represents the continuation of chattel slavery, but it also represents the abolition
of it.
That was Americans that did that, you know?
It represents the, there is a dialectic.
It represents the liberationists and it represents those who need to be liberated.
And it also represents those who chose to keep people enslaved.
That's it.
America represents the slaver and the slave.
And it's up to us to take accountability over the dark chapters, but then also recognize
the periods of struggle to overcome said dark chapters, right?
And the struggle, of course, continues.
But that's not what they're talking about.
They're specifically talking about defending racism and racism and no, those people absolutely
didn't know they get for American society.
I don't think that those people did anything good for American society.
My point is, we shouldn't seed ground on this concept, not the, I'm not saying, oh, it would
be patriotic socialists.
That's not a real thing, right?
not going to happen.
Patriotism is a made-up concept that demands blind loyalty to the most reactionary sentiment.
I'm not saying that at all, but I think it's important to recognize the good and the bad.
Just be honest.
Seek truth from facts and always say the truth.
And I think it's good to cast aside some of these like anti-American tendencies that
people represent as the most American tendency.
The idea that like being an American is about pushing out the newcomers and acting as though
they're not assimilating.
Like that's, that's unironically un-American.
I mean, I hate Ronald Reagan, but the one thing that he actually nailed was that.
He said, like, look, you can come from all around the world and be American.
That's the whole beauty of this fucking project, which is true.
Which is true.
That is the beauty of this project.
That is the most redeemable quality.
That's the reason why this is the most diverse country on the fucking planet.
Think about our food.
Think about our sports.
Think about our cultural output.
None of those things would exist if, if America wasn't this, this mosaic, this
tapestry, this beautiful diverse country.
Okay.
a meaningful place. Burger! Think Burger! Okay.
It's to the world because of precisely the kinds of struggles that we feel sometimes,
right? It's about, yes, the history of our lowest lows in what sometimes are our lowest
nature and it's also about the triumph of our highest nature. Yeah, called it a melting pot
big-ass fondue. No, the reason why I didn't call it a melting pot is because fondue is un-American.
Okay, burger on the other hand has numerous parts and is the most American invention that you can
point to
Derrick Thompson, Abundus are shitting on Elon Musk.
Trillionaire celebrates America's 250 by saying poor people shouldn't vote.
Sounds like Todry sat to our politocracy and yet, yeah.
We are living through a Dickensian nightmare, but also it's like weirdly enough, not as dark
and more filled to the brim with burger and AI art and it's lamber than ever before, okay?
This is ridiculous.
The world's wealthiest guy turning around and being like, yeah, poor people should not
be allowed to vote.
If you let taker's vote, Mamdani has built nothing, he's a taker.
a maker, says Elon Musk, the biggest taker of all time. A person whose entire net worth revolves
around government subsidies. Okay? I cannot begin to explain to you. Like everything that he has done
is literally because he just has money. He just has money. That's it. And with that money, he's
been able to sit on top of other corporations and make other people work and take credit for it.
And a big chunk of his revenue unironically revolves around government subsidies and also privatizing pre-existing government initiatives like NASA.
Elon, this is the moment where you supposed to wise up and abandon classical liberals and if you let takers vote, they will not only take more and more,
They will take more and more rewarding to be a taker and they will convert more and more makers into takers forever
Until the makers cannot carry the takers anymore universal suffers leads to universal suffering. I have wise the
Yeah, you literally pay for the shit his company makes you the taxes
His job is to unironically tweet and be shitty of video games all day until the engineers
and scientists he pays come up with something he could take credit for allowing to take
place.
Yes.
I mean, I cannot think of a bigger taker than Elon Musk.
That's what parasitic capital does.
All they do is take, take, take.
They take your productive output.
They take your ingenuity and they slap their name on it.
What did you make?
make anything. Someone else did. He is an unbelievable parasitic leech and also a race
of the highest order. It's mind boggling that more people don't recognize it for what
it is. Caroline Levy perfectly represents our government because she hates you. I'm
never going to afford a house if you consider dying in a war.
Anyway, we'll talk about Patriot Prayer in a second, but, um, yeah, America 250, uh, doing
fantastic. Oh, this is really funny. The guys that have spent every waking moment making
unbelievably racist memes crying over this, the fact that a song of true people, he was
once on good terms with like this proves he's a complete degenerate freak with no morals.
single one of these, every single one of these edgy posters that literally almost exclusively
joke about like raping people. Like most of these guys, most of these guys, their entire
output is just like doing rape jokes, right? Rape this, rape that. They're so edgy. And
every single one of them in between their George Floyd AI compilations and rape jokes
have taken the time out of their day to cry about this. Okay.
Sorry, buddy. I'm carrying the motherfucking flame.
Perhaps you should do the same. Okay.
Yeah. It's always the same. It's like, Oh, well, how dare you?
How dare you not respect my in group? Like this is really messed up.
This really messed up. You're being really disrespectful.
You're right. Only in America, we can get something like this. Oh no,
He's gonna eat them. Oh my God, his titties. Oh my God, Toby.
Yum.
Derby Derby has got some fucking memories on him, dude. What the hell?
Bro, put a bra on. Jesus Christ.
Jesus, Lord, mercy.
He's got some big naturals dude respect
Wow
Low key his waist is kind of snatched to you know what I'm talking about like like with
With respect to his massive, massive memories, like his, his waist is kind of snatched.
God, the shape of you, Toby.
The shape of you, Terby.
Like a, like a upside down soft served ice cream.
I don't even know how human beings can balance themselves like this.
Beautiful.
All right, now let's get the Ross Dalvid.
On this, the 250th anniversary of our great republic,
I think we're unlikely to have a unifying address from any politician.
So I thought I'd get a little dressed up and offer one myself.
A few years ago, I exercised one of my most important birthrights as an American.
I drove with my wife and kids across the country, Connecticut to Seattle, 3,000 miles in a crowded minivan.
One of our stops was Calispell, Montana, a small city just outside Glacier National Park.
And one of the places we thought about staying was the Calispell Grand Hotel.
And after the trip was over, a little while later, I was in my dad's house, looking at a collection of family artifacts from my grandmother's side of the family, and to my surprise, there was a picture of the Kalispell Grand Hotel, my great, great grandfather.
Isn't he your friend?
Dog, keep not so subtly, try to get me prosecuted by the federal government.
Okay.
My friend, Ross Douthit, straight up spent the entire time on that New York Times podcast
that we did together, being like, well, you know, Jimmy Kimmel is not really a radical,
but you on the other hand are.
You are a violent revolutionary radical, don't you think?
Don't you think you should be imprisoned for your statements?
Straight up, that was literally what he said over and over again.
It was crazy.
His name was Blair Bryce Gilliland and he built all kinds of things around Kalispell
We had driven past monuments to my own ancestors without even realizing it and the reason we didn't realize yeah
So let's have a friend more of a 40 month subscriber. Yeah, exactly exactly type of timing you guys are on was that after
Bd Gilliland helped build Kalispell his son didn't stay there
He left and started over in Southern California, and then my own father, his grandson, married
a woman who had come West from New England, and they started over back in the Northeast.
That's a lot of fresh starts in a hundred years.
Right now, America is arguing about our national identity again.
Whether the truest American is the new arriving immigrant who swears an oath, or the multi-generational
American, whose ancestors bled at Saratoga or Gettysburg or in Vietnam.
My family, on both sides, has been in this country for a very long time, so maybe it's
not surprising that I think there's a way of being American that's a cultural inheritance.
But part of that American culture is also the very thing that brings immigrants to our
or the knowledge that here you can begin again,
not just once when you leave behind an old world identity,
but over and over, across multiple generations.
We need that spirit of new beginnings now.
I'm an optimist about America.
And for most of our history, that was a normal thing to be.
But these days, optimism can seem in short supply.
Americans are polarized as never before.
We're pessimistic about technology and afraid of various apocalypses.
And yet, for all this, I don't think there's any country in the world that's better off than we are right now.
Many of our problems are problems all over the globe.
And here in America, we still have unique resources to overcome them.
Comfort with ethnic and religious pluralism, powerful protections for free speech,
an unusual spirit of patriotism,
an enduring faith in God's providential care,
and a spirit of why the F not,
that still has the power to amaze the world.
One of the lessons of the last few difficult decades, I think,
is that Americans are just not made
for stasis and stability.
Tell Americans that they've done everything important already,
that the frontier is closed,
and the only question now is how to divide our riches
Equitably or make sure that our achievements are sustainable. Of course, of course
Of course what yeah, let's not talk about equity and
Dividing our riches equitably. That's that's bad
How about that be the next frontier man? Why can't that be the next frontier all this live speak and he's a conservative
Yeah, I mean, that's what he is. He's always been the reasonable conservative
That's the position that he occupies at the New York Times and the New York Times loves
Guys like this they love this shit a person who speaks for no one, okay a person with a constituency so marginal
So tiny that sometimes you think to yourself who is this man speaking to?
like I don't know I don't know who is the the audience for this that's like I'm a conservative
lifelong Republican voter who also now believes that you know the Democrats are the Democrats
have gone too far they're too woke they should be a little bit more normal so I can vote for them
him. His constituency is Sarah Longwell. Yeah, bulwark. And they will tune out, turn on
each other, fall into despair. But I'm here to tell Americans that a heroic age is still
ahead of us, that the frontier is open.
Who believes this?
Like, actually, I don't think even the most like rabid of Trump supporters unironically
believe this right now.
I mean, their hearts not in it.
Their hearts not in it.
Look at America 250, it's a perfect, it's a perfect depiction of where we're at, okay?
even even the the hogs have basically realized like this is not great you know what I mean
they're who is positive about the future of America right now I mean there's polling
conducted on the matter all the time and we're at an all-time low as far as like patriotism goes
for the first time ever Americans feel less patriotic about their country than some fucking
European countries are and European nations have always historically never felt patriotic.
It's ridiculous.
Patriotism works if there's something to feel patriotic about,
if we got numbers that we can point to.
especially the last 30 years has only created a downward spiral for average Americans, unlimited
war and bloodshed, for blood and soil and for coffers and wars that yield tremendous
bounty not for the Americans necessarily, but for a handful, just a tiny,
increasingly smaller number of demigods.
Yep, American pride falls to 25 year record low.
43% of the USA, they display the American flag outside of their home.
The extremely slash very proud number is at 53%.
The extremely proud is at 33%.
It's still fairly high, by the way, obviously in comparison to where it probably should be,
all things considered. But in the most propagandized country on the planet...
Yeah, post 2001, uh, bump post 9 11 bump.
Yeah.
The United States of America were founded by wealthy slave owners and arch steward reactioners
who rejected their monitor because you couldn't prevent parliament from taxing their colony
whose violent settler pleasantry just wanted to continue murderously expanding their front
and tear. They were one of the last countries that abolished slavery and didn't become
a formal democracy until the 1960s. Their advantage of being a freer and more open society was
short-lived and their attempt to build anything resembling a social state crumbled. Instead
of a society of mass affluence, they ended up with a barbaric carceral system of historically
unprecedented proportions, the top heavy repatience, the extractive economy, a state thoroughly
captured by oligarchy interests. The last decades have been marked by America's centrality
in nearly every damaging social, cultural and ideological trend. It continues to export
accelerating domestic psychoses to the world. Yes, this is definitely 100% true. We do export our
brain rot. It has become the ultimate destabilizing hegemon, blundering around like a dying ogre,
ever-swelling amount in a rotting corpses. America isn't the cause of all ill in the world,
but the increasingly nihilistic zero sum social culture of a contemporary capitalism that has
ramified into every corner of society is fundamentally American. And the umbilical cord is very much
still attached there's still no post-american world but with a little luck there will be one day
happy fourth of july it's a fairly negative read i would say you know we're working on it
we're working on it
Oh my god, we are the John Fetterman of the world. I mean, it's true. We really are. We really are the John Fetterman of the world stumbling around and also exporting our brain rot to every single fucking country dog when you when I saw those Charlie Kirk, the Charlie Kirk meet ups in South Korea and Japan.
And I saw the far right in Japan and South Korea wear MAGA hats
Celebrating Charlie Kirk. I was like, it's over. It's done
Okay
This man was doing rallies in South Korea and the South Korean far right
The South Korean far right we're like
Yep, that's our guy. We love MAGA make America great again. It's like bitch. You're Korean
What do you mean make America great again?
And once again, there is the high frontier of space travel the moon within our reach again Mars may be coming closer every day
There are territorial frontiers here on earth that could be opened if
Albertans or Cubans or Australians would like to be oh my god
he's such a nasty little freak for this. Oh, really funny, dude. I mean, this is unironically going
back to the point that, you know, that that other negative read on, I'll be a true but negative
read on America and it's a, it's Mark on the rest of the globe represents this is that mentality.
The Americans, maybe they should be.
Taking Greenland by force is madness.
Seeking Greenland in a fair exchange is as American as, well, the great state of Alaska.
Then there are also internal frontiers, ways to transform our own country, that technological
progress might make possible, bringing more water to the arid west, planting forests in
southern plains making cities grow and deserts bloom. The age of monuments should come again.
We should complete the great statue of crazy horse that my children on our cross-country trip
saw looming unfinished near Mount Rushmore. And we should build statues of Lewis and Clark
on bluffs over the Mississippi or Missouri like the statues of the kings of Gondor that greet
the fellowship of the ring and the way oh my god brother you are fucking oh my god
this is all aesthetics bro it's all aesthetics he literally turned around and was like america
should do more imperialism but this time gently and then we should build big ass statues this is
also the exact kind of thing that liberals like ross douthit would regularly criticize if china
was doing it. Okay. And China does do it. And I do think that that's kind of a cool thing. I do
like big statues. You guys know this. And many of you call me an L nerd for it and say it's a bad
take. But I think like massive statues are kind of dope. But having said that,
Don't you feel like this is kind of the problem? How is this in any way shape or form different
than like what Donald Trump tries to fucking point to, right? The idea that like things are great,
because I said they're great. Here, I'm doing a beautification initiative. Is the problem with
Donald Trump that on America's 250th birthday that he's like focusing on beautification initiatives
that are failing? If he actually succeeded in the beautification in issues, the reflected
pool was actually blue. Would you be fine with that? Or do you feel like we have other
structural problems that need to be identified and solved and resolved? Now, this is the
extent of liberalism. A conservative liberal, a classical liberal, whatever you want to
call Ross, okay, we'll look to the situation and say, oh yeah, well, the issue is we haven't
done enough beautification. The optics are bad. Let's fix the optics and that's how we fix America.
The real problem is there are significant structural hurdles that we must climb.
Hurdles because of the systems design, because of capitalism's design. Right?
Health of our Tolkien loving technologists should beautify our cities as the wealth of our
industrialists once did. Finally, there is a frontier that every American can reach out
toward.
Yeah, there's a reason why our wealthy industrialists don't do that anymore, because they don't
need to, because they own all of the avenues of communication, and they can just tweak
the algorithm to make you a servile little piggy slave to them, as Elon Musk has done
on Twitter, or also known as X, the everything app. Okay, they own everything. They don't
We don't need to do that anymore. They just control our brains.
Which is the future itself. Open to everyone who resists the false sense of human obsolescence.
America began in revolution.
It's so funny. He's just like, why won't these titans of industry behave like the previous titans of industry?
at a time when there was a unprecedented levels of wealth inequality that led to the Great
Depression. Okay. The regulation and hypercapitalism and an endless profit seeking mentality from
oligarchs literally led to the Great Depression. Ironically, why won't they do that again this
time with techno feudalism? I don't get it. Perhaps because the mechanisms of control
have become more sophisticated. Perhaps they don't even feel the need to do that. Perhaps
everything is just held together by ticker tape right now, a hope and a dream that the
stock market will endlessly grow and people will continue making money hand over fist.
But it is really funny to be like, well, do capitalism better, please.
If only, if only our super wealthy were to build these beautiful cities and engage in
beautification initiatives, where we would not harbor resentment against them. We would know
them for the demigods that they are, as though that's the problem. The problem is we have a system
where we continue with this unprecedented level of wealth and power gap that exists between
the regular folks that generate the value and those who actually retain all of that value at the
tippy-top. That's the real problem. Not that they're not like giving back, uh, aesthetically.
The robber barons had to spend their physical money because they were worried about it getting
stolen. Not really a problem now. Yeah, there's also that.
And today, the most basic human actions can be revolutionary. Everyone who builds, who plants,
who marries, who has a child, who makes a new beginning, reaches for the next American frontier.
Since the 1600s, my own ancestors have begun again as Mayners, as Virginian.
There's something really funny about Ross Douth at China do this thing where he's like, well,
you know what's our new frontier? Having children and getting married.
Dog, if China can't do that with the level of social cohesion they have and the level of
social control that they have. What makes you think you at the New York Times are going
to be able to achieve this with, you know, 17,000 people watching? Well, now you got
27,000 people watching in real time, but, you know, we doubled your viewership almost.
All of these problems that he is presenting could be identified by the economic organization
society that we exist under, that makes it virtually impossible to have a child, makes
it impossible to dream for a better future. Everyone's working, okay? Everyone's working
tirelessly, barely making ends meet.
As Arkansons, as Montanans, as Californians, they have begun again as pig farmers and bicycle
salesmen, as lobster fishermen and lawyers, as artists and poets, and now God help us
as newspaper columnists, and I hope that my own children, all five of them, and their
children, onto generations in the distant future, will always have the same chance to
start afresh.
This is the promise of America, and it's the reason that the future is still ours, the
next 250 years, and more than that, if God so wills it.
And so, my fellow Americans, let us...
Let's talk, let's hear from the real president. Okay.
What would Ross think of this? Trump stood at the six grandfathers, became Mount Rushmore
last night and told America that anyone who says it was built on stolen land is spreading
Mark's lies about our heritage. He said, the people who tell our children that we live
on stolen and are doing something much worse than this land during our past are attacking
future. You call them Abandoned Thieves, Radicals and Lunatics. No Trump, you're wrong. Yeah,
it's kind of ironic to do that. Saying that these are lunatics. Abandoned Thieves, Radicals and
Lunatics, like, oh, you mean the settlers? Like, that's kind of, you're literally standing at top
the stolen goods, if you will.
So, let's be direct about it since you weren't.
Yes, the United States of America is stolen, and it was founded through genocide, oppression,
and dispossession of the people who are already here.
That's not a Marxist talking point, that's the historical record.
Comments when history speaks to us.
This is one of them.
My dear friends, President Trump and the people of America, today the United States celebrates
250 years of independence, 250 years of freedom, 250 years of defending freedom.
On behalf of the people of Israel, I wish you all a happy and joyful Independence Day.
My friends, this force of July carries a special meaning for me personally.
Exactly 50 years ago, as America celebrated its bicentennial, Israel carried out one of
greatest hostage rescue missions in history. Operation Jonathan in Entebbe, Uganda. More
than 100 innocent hostages were brought home alive by our courageous soldiers.
Oh, bro, everything has to be about you, huh? Me, me, me, me, me, me, me. Look, you guys
also are fighting the same villains. They say you are built on stolen land. Well, we
We stole our land too, just like you did.
One commander did not.
My brother Yoni.
He gave his life so that others could live.
This is what the brave soldiers of Israel and America...
Oh my God!
Bro!
Bro!
Brother!
side of the the story, right? This is the other side of the story. This is like
Brian Kilme being like, these guys hate America and Israel. And this is the other
side of it where it's like, you know, we're just like you in many ways.
Remember, we're fighting for you. Really?
Really, that's crazy, it doesn't feel like it.
Again and again in these 50 years, and 50 years later we are still defending freedom.
We may live in different continents, but there's a strong-
Yeah, when that ugly person calls you twin.
Yeah.
Bond between us
Because we have one destiny
We know that freedom is never cheap. It must be continually purchased. It must be continually
Defended America has been the greatest force for liberty. The modern world is known
Israel is proud to stand beside her Israel is proud to stand beside all of you
Because our please keep giving us billions of dollars of tax
tax money, please, keep giving us all the weapons we use to melt children in our neighborhoods.
This is very good, and if you don't give it to us, I will call you an anti-Semite.
And I will demand that you no longer have your freedom.
And guess what?
The American government will give me that gift as well.
Our alliance is built not only on shared interest, it's built on shared values.
Today those values are under attack.
The tyrants we face chant, death to America, death to Israel.
They think freedom is weak.
They think democracies are weak.
They're wrong about our two democracies.
Because when America and Israel stand together, freedom stands stronger.
Together we defend freedom.
Together we defend our common civilization.
Together with God's help, freedom will triumph over tyranny.
may god bless the united states of america
may god bless israel
and may god
bro is july fourth why would god bless israel
why why are we
like what
god he has to make everything about himself bro this is classic israel is
like
remember when
we
on that faithful morning on july fourth seventeen seventy six invented israel
It was great. We did that. They should call it the Israeli Revolution.
a revolution's growing the heart of Tehran, with a just unveiled this new monument to
the late Ali Hamane, the late supreme leader of Iran, whose funeral begins now this weekend.
That is his clenched fist with his ring on it, flanked by two missiles, so a symbol if
you like of resistance and defiance after this four month war that has left Iran badly
damaged that took his life and the lives of many others, but has left his government
still.
I mean, if I'm the guy who invented the Shah drone, I'm a little bit bitter, like they put the missiles on there, but not the Shah had drone.
I feel like that's the most significant image, right?
Standing. So they are preparing now for what is going to be the mother of all funerals.
Going to go on for seven days. On Monday, we're going to see millions of Iranians lining the streets here of the capital.
His coffin will go past here. We understand. Past any number of landmarks through the city and Iranians will come out in numbers.
not so much a i r of the first i a tola the first supreme leader
canceling canceling the islamic republic
where it's uh... heavy utilization of a i r instead of relying on
uh... domestic artists
back in nineteen eighty nine
it's then going to go to call that
south of her big religious
that city in iran
it's a good idea to other religious cities in iraq
uh... to
Kerbala and Najaf before he is buried in Mashhad.
Now, a lot of people who have been speaking to here are coming out and will come out to
send him off, pay their respects.
Some of the faithful we have spoken to say they are doing so because they want to honour
a great leader, but also they say they want to see revenge.
We are all sad.
He was a great and noble man and his death caused a lot of sorrow for us.
Is he a good leader for Iran?
Yes, excellent, and we'll miss him a lot.
Tomorrow we'll see the funeral. Millions will be in the streets. It was a great...
Bro, for a second I thought it wasn't the Hezbollah flag and I thought it was standing with the Ukraine pin.
that she didn't like him. Do you understand that?
Well, he probably liked Trump.
Someone who likes Trump and Netanyahu and Pahlewi
doesn't like Al-Qalmeneh.
We all are sad, we are very sad,
but the fight is still going on, you know?
We can't just be sad. We have to fight.
Who's winning?
Of course us.
Pardon?
Khayli.
He was very strong, and we will miss him a lot.
We are mournful but we thank God that his son is the new leader and now we have another
strong leader.
Ali Hamane was supreme leader of Iran for 37 years so the authorities want to give him
the send off that they believe he deserves but also you get the impression they want
to project a sense of unity and public strength after this bruising four month conflict.
Having said that, a lot of the younger people we have spoken to weren't happy to be interviewed
about how they feel about him
one of them said he was a bad leader and i think uh... some of them said they
won't come to the funeral
so there is a sense that this is a divided country
uh... and
a lot of the younger generation don't believe that he had no shit
mean this classic is the same in cuba it's like if everything that you've
if all you've known is economic struggle
if all you know is economic struggle of course you're gonna be like it's the
fault of the fucking leadership
that makes perfect sense. And then on top of that, if you get a college education, if you go to school, and then you have, you know, liberal values, which many people do, right? Social, I'm talking about like social liberalism.
Then, yeah, you're going to be very frustrated with any kind of repression that you experienced,
paired up with the economic hardships that you understandably attribute to the administration.
He represents a form of friendship that they can still identify.
Iran does have a gerontocracy, just like we do.
Okay. There is, like, I know I talk about no, like, generational politics. It's reactionary.
It's like only class politics, but low-key. There is somewhat of an internationalist perspective
where, where no matter where you go, boomers are ruining everything. Like, anti-boomerism
could be an interesting international unifying form of politics. Yeah, they were the gerontocracy.
I say were because, you know, American Israel low-cricutually eradicated the gerontocracy
to a significant degree. And then look what Iran did in the aftermath of that.
It turns out, it turns out eradicating the boomer class of the Iranian
leadership, generated tremendous results just not for America and Israel but for
Iran.
Having said that, we are undoubtedly going to see millions of Iranians coming out
in what it's going to be an extraordinary spectacle of religious and political support
for this Iranian leader.
Revenge, revenge, death or revenge they chant.
In the baking heat here to honour Ayatollah Ali Hamane, they came in their thousands.
above them the coffins of the Supreme Leader and his family members, killed by US Israeli
bombardments on the first day of the war.
Mawna's arriving from across Iran to pay their respects and vow vengeance on their enemies.
God willing they will receive the punishment for what they did in this world and will make
them feel a humiliation that is unprecedented in history.
boomers went to Iran. For the American imperialism, Iranian boomers literally fought off an Iraqi
invasion is true. But there's still boomers is what my point, right? My point is there's
still boomers. And there's something that there's a boomer universality, a reluctance
to seed power to anybody else when you're calcified in your ways, right? Boomers do that no matter
where they live. You know what I mean? It's obviously adjusted to the material conditions of each
individual state and their their culture. But yeah, I'm not shy about saying it. I think Ayatollah
Ali Hamane demonstrated boomer mindset with the anti-nuclear arms of Fatwa and their their
their investment into social modes of repression as a way to try and galvanize the base that
they had. Again, it's a boomer relic. It's boomer behavior.
The world has no place for these extreme followers, and the people of the world are finding out
more and more, what is the best way forward?
From Masin-e-Duruz to Joss.
Millions are expected for a week of funeral ceremonies in at least five cities in Iran
and Iran.
An outpouring of grief on a scale we haven't seen here in decades.
Some of it ritualistic.
Some more personal.
I cannot explain my emotions.
Ali Hamane was the only leader many Iranians ever knew, and his rule has defined this country
for more than three decades.
These are the faithful out in force to honor the memory of their leader that they say was
martyred at the start of an illegal four month war.
Their government hopes to send them out.
Oh yeah, they had a, they, there was a short recitation from the Quran for all the foreign
delegations.
And it was a way, it was a way that dunk on different delegations and, and like their
performance, I guess.
least that's what I saw on Twitter. They did a Quran dish track for like the
gulf with the exception of cutter. And then, you know, they obviously glazed the
the Houthis. It's very interesting stuff. They love their their poetry and
symbolism over there. I heard Drake was on there too.
Look, foreign delegation fought past cobs of the slain supreme leader and members of
the family.
Each delegation is escorted into the hall by a brief military march and there's a short
rest station from the Quran.
Perhaps merely coincidence or perhaps an intentional message from Iran to the Saudi delegation,
but the verses selected for the arrival are striking.
They carry an obvious pointed symbolism.
The passage eludes to the battle of Badr.
fought on March 13th, near present-day Saudi Arabia.
There, the Prophet Muhammad led roughly 313 Muslims against a Meccan force about 1,000,
despite being vassian-numbered, the Muslims secured a decisive victory,
which Islamic tradition attributes to divine intervention.
The verses read,
There was certainly a sign for you in the two armies that met in battle,
one fighting in the cause of Allah and the other denying Him.
The believers saw their enemy as twice their number,
yet Allah strengthens with His support whom He wills.
surely, and this is a lesson for those with insight.
They may have waited for an end in fighting to bury their fallen leader, but there is
a strong sense of unfinished business.
We are sad and it's a great sorrow, but our message to America is you can't do a damn
thing.
What do you think you've achieved by killing our leader?
Our leader has grown young.
Many though may not join the mourners in this deeply divided country.
Elsewhere on the streets of Tehran, people critical of Hamanay told us he should not
be honoured that wouldn't speak on camera.
But in ceremonies and prayers across Iran, millions will be paying their respects to
only the second supreme leader to be buried in almost four decades, whose death his supporters
believe has only strengthened their country. Dominic Wacom, Sky News, Tehran.
This is the Grand Mosalah of Tehran, which is today hosting the first day of public farewell
ceremony to the Iranian Supreme Leader, Al-Ali Khamenei, who was killed.
What was the verse they chose for Turkey? Does anyone have the different verses? There
was a summarization I read about the different verses that they chose for the different countries.
Ah, here.
Saddiyari receives a verse about two armies meeting in battle, one believing one not.
Tutkiah got a verse elevating those who fight over those who sit.
The Lebanese government heard a verse about people refusing to sacrifice as
Hezbollah was told do not weaken or grieve, you are superior.
Hamas receives the verse honoring men who fulfill their covenant with God.
Some have died, others are waiting.
Yemen's Houthi's got a verse praising believers who fought without weakening cut our received a verse about forgiveness and divine favor
Red is a nod for its mediating role
All right, also been a wave of progressive candidates winning Democratic primaries. All right, let's uh
But let's skip some of this stuff.
There's a J.D. Vance interview Bill Maher that I want to watch.
But before I do this annoying nuisance,
let's do some funny business.
It's over for you, big dog.
What is this?
The Australian E-Safety Commissioner wants the power
to punish social media platforms for allowing ratios.
These online safety regimes start out
as well as for protecting kids.
That's important because the adult cyber reviews
it's constructed now is so specific. As you know, it doesn't cover groups of people or a person.
Wait, what? So if I ratio a Zionist, I'm going to prison? Like, what the fuck?
What the hell is going on, man?
What the fuck is this? Or nor?
This is got to gore.
Anyway, speaking of fucking weirdos.
Speaking of weirdos.
Spiritos. Members of the group, Patriot front ride the Metro's commuter looks on during
the 250th anniversary of us independence. This is, I mean, you know, America. There
it is. A bunch of fucking ice agents that are now ironically wearing a mask. Okay.
A bunch of ice agents that chose to wear a mask on this beautiful day to go and do that
activity on their off day. How wonderful for them. Look at how fucking sweaty this guy's
head is oh my god um this is what they did they did a show
Loser as Larver'sburg.
We fight America.
We fight America.
We fight America.
We fight America.
We fight America.
We fight people.
We fight people.
We fight people.
We fight people.
We fight people.
Yeah, there was a streamer that was with the group, and apparently he declared it a total
Aryan victory.
first I thought they used to wear the masks because they wanted to hide their identity
because they don't want to be outed as Nazis and stuff. But honestly, I think they wear
the mask because they're, most of them are Mexican and, and, uh, of, uh, Guatemalan descent
to, and they're just like a little bit ashamed. As we have seen thus far, the Groyper movement,
sorry, you know, this is not the majority in any way, shape or form, but the Groyper
movement is majority Latino and and and one and Muslim too. There are Muslim
Gropers as well. Indian Gropers. So I assume that a part of the reason why they
wear the mask is because they're just like kind of worried that if they don't
you know if they if they show their face people are gonna be like well this is
DEI. This is like not looking real Aryan. What is this? This adds up one in three American men
were not working or looking for a job in April, nearly a 20 year low. Nice.
Apparently they intern on Capitol Hill. Want to know how quickly they got 400
makes extremists, mag extremists in DCs because many of them are Republican staffers.
the most overlooked scandal in the U.S. right now? I don't know if that's true or not, but
I will tell you this. Look at this man's swamp ass bro.
sweating. Either they're sweating or they are, you know, pissing and shitting in their
pants, I guess. But that's crazy. I've never seen swamp ass like this. It's 100 degrees
in DC. I hope they got swamp ass. Oh my God. Oh my God. All of their asses. Oh my God.
Oh my god. Oh brother. Oh brother. Hundreds of members of the white nation's patriot front marched in DC today where 4th of July parade was cancelled for deadly heat. They struggled with the heat as well. A few members of the public yelled at them.
You must have found the fucking right-hand abortion!
You! Stand up fucking taller!
Your fucking pathetic piece is a fucking shit!
Oh my god!
Every booty cheek is fucking drenched, bro!
Oh my god, I can smell it from over here!
All the way across the nation state from California. Oh my god. I've never seen someone
Sweat through their assholes like that
Oh my lord
Oh
Get out!
Are there a list of approved groups or something?
What was the correct answer?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I don't understand why they do this because like
so obviously the reason for why you demonstrated numbers like this as the clan used to
is to show that you're a force to be reckoned with you got numbers like you're trying to make it
you're trying to make people insecure about their safety in the neighborhood that you parade
through the neighborhood that you marched through. But like, for that to actually work,
at least with the Klan, like there's also a real threat of violence associated with the Klan,
because the Klan was violent, objectively. Now, the ideology that these guys represent is violent,
but for the most part, their output has been just getting into U-Hauls, getting out of U-Hauls,
standing in one place and being like, oh America should be white. And then going back home.
So it kind of fails to reach that like threatening presence. As most people just go up to them and
tell them that they're fucking pathetic losers and everybody just clowns on them and dunks on them
for their ass sweat and for being feds for the most part. You know?
Large crowd moving through DC towards the White House with a declaration of independence
banner chanting 8647. Like I feel like these guys don't even have the support of like most
uh neo nazis on the internet you know what i mean
i feel like most people don't even the most people don't even fucking
uh trust them as like a like a sincere banner carrier for the american neo
nazi movement
Most Nazis think these guys are feds, which by the way, I also think they're feds.
It's just not in the way that Nazis say they're feds, you know what I mean?
Nazis say, oh, these guys are federal agents. I'm like, yeah, they're members of ICE. You know what I mean?
Like, what did this accomplish?
Like, nothing.
You know what I mean?
This didn't, like, threaten people, I don't think.
I don't think this like is a significant threatening presence.
The only thing these guys are a threat to is the diapers that they sweat through.
You know what I mean?
Of course, notice something.
The cops are protecting them as opposed to the propel sinian demonstrations
where cops notoriously do not protect them,
allow the counter protesters to come and beat their asses, to attack them, to deploy sometimes,
fireworks and things like that, putting the student protesters peaceful demonstrators
in harm's way, and then arresting them. Weirdly enough, that never happens to the Patriot prayer
for some reason. I guess that's because they're homies. Anyway, let's hear from Real Time with
with Bill Maher, the J.D. Vance interview that just came out, dude, I'm sorry, even
you're paid to be there in Los Angeles, California, you're sitting in a fucking paid live audience
and you're clapping for vice president JD Vance. You're disgusting.
Yeah, liberal program, by the way, this guy's supposed to be the reasonable liberal. Hello.
Hello, I'm the reasonable liberal Bill Maher. And as a reasonable liberal, I'm going to talk to the
the vice president and glazed him.
Do I have the nicest crowd?
I'm sure it's the only applause I'll get, but I'll take it.
I'm just glad you're talking to me.
You know, I mean, I say it every time when the Republicans come here,
they take their beating like a man.
It's the people I vote for.
They're the ones who won't talk to me.
That's odd, isn't it?
It is very odd.
I mean, and I'm probably like this new woman who was elected in New York.
Do you think she'll come on the show?
Oh, I know you want.
No, I can't get AOC.
I can't get men down me.
I can't go and get Kamala Harris, you know, took me eight years to get Obama.
Anyway, let's not talk about my problem.
Oh, God, this guy, every everything is downstream of his own personal animus and resentment,
like everything.
A guy utterly devoid of having moral conviction.
A guy that doesn't even have like a discernible ideology. He's just like, are you nice to me or do you annoy me with your existence?
And I promise this is gonna be a lot easier than talking to the Iranian
Or even more the view the question is whether it's harder than the view that's right
Well, look, you're negotiating for America.
I'm rooting for America, so I want success here.
But, you know, you came out of these meetings,
and I heard sort of the same thing.
I've heard a lot of talk about progress
and that I've heard it so many times before.
Why is this different?
Why isn't it bullshit this time?
Well, I'd say the most important thing, Bill,
is that the people who judge whether the oil is actually
flowing, they judge this as a success, right?
So if you look at oil right now, it's
back down to $73 a barrel, got up to $126 a barrel.
So there's a signal that there's something real going on here.
I think the second bill is whether we make the final deal,
because you have to remember this MOU is fundamentally,
it says the straits are gonna be open,
the oil is gonna flow, we're seeing that happen already.
It's also a ceasefire, which as you pointed out,
is always gonna be a little messy
when you're dealing with the Iranians.
But if we make the final deal, then great.
If we don't make the final deal,
their nuclear program is still destroyed,
if they're still much weaker as a country.
So my attitude is America wins either way,
but I do think that what the president has done
has asked us to do something that, frankly,
nobody in 47 years of dealing with Iranians has done,
which is offer them an opportunity
to fundamentally transform how they behave with the West.
They've been the largest state sponsor of terrorism
basically since they began as a nation,
or at least as an Islamic Republic 47 years ago.
He's saying, look, if they're willing to change,
we're willing to change too.
If they're not willing to change,
We still fundamentally have all the cards, and I think it's a good place for us to be.
But their program isn't destroyed.
The nuclear program isn't destroyed.
I mean, I don't know any of our objectives.
And look, I said I...
What part is not destroyed?
Well, we didn't get in there.
The whole thing was we have to get in there and see.
Other us, we wouldn't be doing this.
Well, let me say...
We didn't.
First of all, so a nuclear program, and I'm hardly a nuclear scientist.
Dude, they're the same guy.
I just realized they both have...
like they are
generationally divided i think like bill marr represents like annoying boomer
uh... the the annoying boomer elitist
and he's the annoying fail annual
they're both liberals
they're both annoying
they both constantly go ahead and they uh... they're the same fucking guy
i just realized it's a exact same energy that i fucking hate
smarmy elitist grifters
was a fucking boomer the other was a failure
holy shit
some of the politician
the thing that you have to destroy is their ability to enrich uranium which
has been destroyed
you have to
kind of destroy their ability to realize i'm turning with this fucking piece of
shit
red tie
American flag blue jacket.
I do have a dsa pin though and a ussr tie clip functioning centrifuges.
We've got to get in there and we've got to get the dust.
Okay.
And we didn't get in there.
So how do we get the dust?
So that's actually a separate question.
So there's the highly enriched stockpile, which by the way was allowed to accumulate
over 20 years of previous administrations.
That enriched stockpile is something that we want to get, but bill if we never get it
and the president wants it, and we are going to get it.
But if we never got it, it's buried deep underground,
and they don't have the ability to turn it
into a nuclear weapon.
So the program is functionally destroyed.
We're just talking about, can we set them back even further
through these negotiations?
OK.
I only have limited time with this,
so I want to move on to other topics.
I want to tell you what people have been saying to me.
I told them, people get excited while you have the vice president
on.
I'm pretty impressed myself.
I'm very excited about this.
I had Pence on about both his vice president a couple of weeks ago, Pence was here.
I'm killing it with the vice president.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
What did you talk about with Mike Pence?
Sex, drugs, and rock and roll?
I don't know.
There's who? Who is a JD head? I'm begging. I need to find, I need to find someone who
is a JD Vance fan sincerely, not like, oh, I like Trump and he happens to be sit next
to him. So I have to like him too. Like, who is a fan of this guy? Yeah, his mom is not
a fan of him. I guess Tucker Carlson and Peter Thiel. But I don't even think Peter Thiel,
Peter Thiel is a fan of JD Van. I think Peter Thiel is just like, that's my slave. That's
my blood boy. The Elon Musk fans, ironically enough, gross.
He was a lot more human than I thought he was, than I'd ever seen. I even asked him
to come on my podcast where I get stoned and he was like, maybe.
When I say you, here's what sticks in there, Crock.
Okay.
Number one issue, immigration.
Not immigration, we like it that you close the border.
Thank you.
Dog, you live in California.
You are a Californian.
What the fuck do you mean we like it?
Who's we, bitch? You speak in French? Fuck you mean, we.
Oh, us Liberals are so agreeable. We also love a reactionary white native as a
brooch to migration in this country. Oh, that's so good.
What do you mean, we like, like, what has an undocumented immigrant done to you that
is in any way shape or form negative.
Also, why does he even maintain this idea
that he's a liberal?
I don't get it.
To be done, the people who are here,
the way you treated, I'm talking about your administration.
Okay. You are not there yourself,
but ice, all that shit, too rough, too mean, too unnecessary.
I think you go, I'm not telling you what to do.
OK, I'm just giving you some advice as a friend.
OK.
And I'm not saying, I'm not asking you to apologize,
but I don't like the people who do that.
I'm just saying, you go a long way
toward getting people who are just completely shut
the door to you if you would just own that.
That you guys went too far.
You went too far, and you should own it
like you did childless cat ladies.
I mean, again,
Bill Mark giving the game away, his ideology is, you know,
a murderous, unaccountable Gestapo force that's up,
mass supporting black and brown people for no reason other than to satisfy the
needs of like a 20% base of support that is white supremacists.
And then fucking childless cat ladies that annoy him
These are the two extremes
That are on the the opposing sides of the American political spectrum for Bill Maher and he hates both of them evenly
Hello, do you fucking hear yourself?
Like this can't be a real political worldview. I don't hate Republicanism and Trumpism because
it fucking annoys me because they're stupid, okay? I hate it because it's violent. I hate
it because of the impact that it has on regular folks.
You can't put nuisance and your own personal distaste for a political movement on the same
moral playing field of, you know, the fucking fourth American Reich.
So here's the basic problem with that bill is you cannot do any deportations without law enforcement.
And you can't do a law enforcement operation like that without having some situations that don't look good when they're recorded like that.
I mean, let me give you like just one obvious example. Let's just set aside the immigration element of this.
Okay, if you take a guy who's committed murder and you go in and rest that guy
Sometimes that person's gonna resist arrest sometimes if you take a video of it and it's out of context need this is a lie
If Bill Maher had fucking working brain cells would be like yeah when a guy commits a murder
law enforcement comes in and puts him in fucking prison and then
They make a determination on whether or not he actually committed the murder
Okay? And then, if a jury of his peers can victim of doing this murder, he goes to prison.
If his status, if his legal status is undocumented, okay, you can make the additional determination
by the Department of Homeland Security on whether or not he should remain in American
prison, or you should get a free ride home. Okay? That's how this works. At no
point is it that, like, you have ICE agents coming in and being like, well,
we're doing regular law enforcement now. That's not how it works at all. That's
not how it works in any way, shape, or form. We have regular law enforcement and
the regular court system to determine whether or not undocumented or
documented migrants or natural born US citizens, which happened to be the overwhelming majority
of violent crimes on US soil. Of course, I'm going to be responsible for that. But, you
know, that's besides the point, bro, you're mad annoying law. I know I should instead just
lean into fucking dumb racist bull. Should it be like, yeah, that's right. Ice is actually
doing a great job. They should just be a little less violent. Yeah. My job is to fucking educate
people, even if you are unwilling to be educated, you might accidentally learn something in the
process of fucking sitting around in this chat. What do you want me to do? Lie to you? I mean,
yeah, that's what you want me to do. You want me to lie to you? That's why if I just sat here and
was like, well, they're right, actually. New rule. ICE is now doing a regular law enforcement.
You called it LeMau, what is this?
MAGA is saying that the white nationalist marching on Washington, DC today were federal
agents.
They're not condemning it, they're saying they were feds or saying that they were Democrats
in disguise.
Yeah.
Yeah, he just wants me to sit there and say, yeah, based.
I don't get it.
understand why people would... There is no, there is no world where if I am
encountering new, new information where I just like fucking sit there and go,
oh fuck this, I'd rather not know the truth. You know what I mean? ICE doesn't
operate as a regular law enforcement agency. They don't have regular law
law enforcement, uh, they don't have a regular law enforcement job. Okay? Maybe you didn't
know this. Hopefully you learned.
Hello, fake feminist, diddy partygoer. Hasan, did you go to diddy parties? Hello, fake
feminist, diddy partygoer.
Look at this guy. German better, German better, German better, German better, German better,
Jerma better in my opinion happens to men too. I come here for horrible takes
This is what I don't understand. How are you a germaphan, but then you also fucking say dumb shit like this
What are you yapping about chud? W tanks tanks go fast. That's the point you bozo
White equals races of course shut the fuck up already I
Love German
How can you how can you have your mind warped this much
How can you get one shot at by like some of the most reactionary one that some of the most toxic fucking forces on the internet this much
Well, simultaneously being a germa fan
Germa would fucking hate you chatter
Anyway, as I was saying, Bill Maher unfortunately doesn't care and is far too racist to care,
But all of these ICE activities are completely unnecessary, and they're designed to soothe
the appetites of the 20% of some of the dumbest Americans, right?
The type of Americans that Bill Maher shits on all the time, the evangelical Christians,
the rabid right-wingers, the Trump cult.
Bill Maher doesn't realize that he's actually leaning in to a, albeit very violent, but
simply symbolic initiative to make those guys happy and saying he likes it too. So I guess in spite
of your education, in spite of your many, many years of, you know, living in Hollywood, being this
like liberal elite, you actually believe those Jesus freaks. You agree with those Jesus freaks.
Don't appreciate why that person is being arrested in the first place. It looks pretty icky if you
If you take that out of context video clip and what I worry about is when people say
you can't ever do immigration enforcement if it produces a bad video clip, what they're
really saying is you can't ever actually do immigration enforcement.
We had 12 million people come into the country, into the interior over the last four years,
I should say from 2021 to 2025 and we were elected with a mandate to get some of those
people out of the icky United States of America.
You can't do that easily. Law enforcement deporting people is never an easy process.
So I appreciate your argument that we've gone too far.
Yeah. ICE agents being deployed by the thousands into, you know, democratic run cities exclusively
as a show of force and then murdering American citizens in the middle of the day is just simply
the icky. No, motherfucker, that's not icky. That's a, that's a stress test for the Gestapo.
Or, but we couldn't do nothing. And I don't think there was an easy way to do this.
Of course, just as a middle ground. So the other thing that bothers us about God, I fucking
hate. Oh my God, Bill Maher is the absolute, first of all, Bill Maher doesn't represent
true American liberalism. Okay, I just need to help you understand this. I know that we say like,
oh, fuck, like this is a classic liberal, what a fucking annoying nuisance, whatever.
This is a very specific liberal tendency that only exists on Twitter and in mainstream outlets,
because the reality of the matter, and also in Washington, DC, the reality of the matter is,
is, by and large, most liberals all around the country, especially where ICE activity
was initiated, were unbelievably frustrated. They went out by the thousands. They went
out in massive numbers to protest against ICE activity in their neighborhoods. There's
plenty of polling conducted on the matter as well. Liberals did not fuck with this ICE
shit at all. Okay. So when we're talking about like regular people, regular folks, working
class folks, seeing their neighbors get kidnapped in the middle of the day, they did not like
it.
There was no like, oh, let's find a moderate middle ground where we can do some deportations
and then that's fine.
That's not the average liberals position at all.
I need you to understand.
So like Bill Maher is not actually even channeling the frustrations of the broader base of support
for the Democratic Party.
This is also important to recognize when we talk about like the unbelievable enmity coming
from people who consider themselves to be normie liberals who are right-wing Democrats
and consultants alike on Twitter.
They do not represent a real constituency.
If anything, the real constituency is far closer to our worldview than they are to Nier
attendance worldview. Okay? That's part of the reason why they're actually very frustrated
right now, because these Democrats are going out in the primaries. Democrats that have
voted Democrat vote blue no matter who their whole lives, and they're excitedly voting
for Democratic socialists. That is the thing that frustrates these people unlike anything
else, because it betrays this worldview that they have represented as one born out of
sincere electability arguments, a world view that must be defended, this overzealous, third-way
neoliberalism, that they're paid to defend. Now there's a popularity contest that is disproving
their perspective, and they hate that. Stuff like that. Is that nothing ever lands in the middle? Which
Which is what I'm always trying to get people to do.
I thought you were crazy liberal.
You should watch the show.
You should watch the show.
I actually do watch the show. I left my hands off backstage.
That's a good model.
Even though you're making fun of me, I can't like it.
Yeah!
It was fair.
I know.
Oh, he knows exactly how to fucking tug on Bill Maher's heartstrings.
Oh, I loved it.
I thought you were a crazy liberal. It turns out you're one of the good ones.
Oh, that's it. That's literally it. That's what he wanted to hear. Oh
The rest of this is gonna be a glaze. I assume someone in your administration who watches the show
What we hate is that the pendulum never lands in the middle. You're right, but Biden did let in too many people
people. It just boggles the mind why he did that. But then it has to go all the way to
the other side. Always. Nothing can ever land in the middle. Did they go too far? Probably
in the Pentagon with what? What are the negative consequences? What was the negative consequence
for Biden quote unquote, letting in too many people. Why are you conceding on this idiotic
right wing nonsense for no fucking reason? It's exceptionally stupid to say this in Los
Angeles as a lifelong Californian, okay? What are you talking about, dude?
Why can't we have a real conversation? Why can't we never actually have a
real conversation about this? Be like, what is it? Like, what was ruined about America?
Okay, what happened? Too many people came in. Okay, explain to me what took place,
Because there were issues, issues that were born out of literally kidnapping and trafficking
these people across state lines illegally, as Governor Greg Abbott did, specifically
to gum up the works, specifically to ruin the chances of a lot of asylum seekers and
their opportunity to get their day in court and immigration court.
DEI and...
Yes, and now Pete Hagseth is like firing at...
The one who's not whiter than an albino. No, he's not.
Somebody looks that way.
Well, Bill, this is...
Nothing lands in the middle.
I disagree with that.
I think sometimes things do land right where they should,
but just you take the story about Pete Hexeth.
Obviously, I'm biased.
I like Pete, but if you look at the actual promotions
that we've done, there have been a lot of people
from all walks of life.
There have been some high profile people where he said,
you know what, I don't think that they married
into promotion, but the idea that we're not promoting
minorities in the Pentagon under Pete Hexeth,
it's just not true.
And I do think that sometimes your criticism is,
Things don't land in the middle, and I understand that.
Sometimes the problem is the media reports things
in such a way where they actually obfuscate or conceal
the truth rather than reporting what's actually going on.
Of course they do.
They all do.
That's why you have to read both sides.
My recommendation is if you read a news story
and it says something bad about me,
you should disbelieve it.
It's probably lying.
Whereas if you read a news story that says something nice,
No.
That's not my only record.
But okay, but I'm just, again, I'm just trying to help you with your issues.
Because I'll tell you something.
You and me and a hundred friends, this is like political therapy here at the moment.
Because I'll tell you something, but I don't think I've ever said,
but this, what this happened this week, but the thing I'm sure you want to talk about,
we're going to talk about in the panel, but the Democratic socialists.
I'm actually here to talk about my book, I want everybody to know about it.
I know, I'm going to get to it, I'm going to get to it.
It's it's called communion available wherever books are stored
We're just one more thing about this and then we'll get to the book. Okay, okay
Like if this is where the Democratic Party is going where this Democratic socialist this obsession with Israel with the Jew hating with
They don't believe in capitalism no prison. Oh
My god, oh my god
I had the vice president of the most reactionary American administration on my show to agree with him
About how the left is gone too damn far
If this is where they're going my vote is in play, okay, and I
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, we know bill
we know bill we know we've been we've known for for a decade
holy shit just reading a sauce chest show some mindless and branded your
followers are says the mad flasher
not enough flashing for you is that was going on
is that was popping
Bill going from resistance live to MAGA is so funny, Lamar, I know, expected.
Actually always has been, I just every year, I don't make my decision by who was an R or
a D, I actually always came to the conclusion that the Democrat was probably better, sure
and voted for them.
And Trump can't run again, and he'd be a little too exciting for me anyway.
So, it's either going to be you or Rubio.
Here's an ideal breaker for your side.
Okay?
Okay, under Trump, you guys have two outcomes in an election can be.
Either we win or they cheat it.
That shit has to stop.
And the person who-
The person who has to stop it would be you, or Marco.
Can you tell me you will do that?
Will you bring us back to the middle, at least on that, where we can see elections, where
it's not either one of those two options?
Okay, Bill.
So this is where I'm probably going to lose you here.
But here's...
That happened about eight minutes ago.
Look, I don't think that we should not concede elections, but I don't think that's what's
going on.
I think that if you go back to the...
I mean, I'm telling you right now, he's going to fucking...
He is going to excitedly vote.
the way things are going, where the Democratic Party is now having its reckoning, right? Being
forced to identify certain issues that the base wants out of them.
Bill Maher, lucky for us, he doesn't represent a real constituency, but Bill Maher and numerous
other figures in the media are going to be excitedly voting for JD Vance or Marco Rubio,
Okay. That's it. It's, it's, I'm telling you right now, if it's like a AOC or AOC style figure
on the Democratic Party side, Bill Maher will actively and excitedly and openly vote for
the Republican, whoever the Republican is. Okay. Who watches Bill Maher besides you? I think a lot
of boomers still watch this fucking asshole. They don't agree with them, but they still watch
them. They don't agree. Like, there are a lot of people who are liberals themselves who, you know,
they're old and they think like the woke left has gone too far or whatever, but they'll still
vote for the Democrat. They'll never vote for the Republican Bill Maher is not one of those who
who believes an unbelievably wealthy piece of shit. He will do it. He will vote for the
Republican. You'll see. Yeah, Jonathan Chate. Why liberal should support a Trump Republican
nomination?
These guys are all, I wouldn't even say Pino, they're dinos, Democrat in name only, they're
racist, they're somophobic, they're transphobic.
They believe in a lot of the culture war things that the Republican side presents.
They just can't come to terms with being called a Republican because their whole lives, they've
been like Republicans are stupid. And it's true, the Republicans are by and large stupid.
But that means Bill Maher is also just as stupid. This kind of bigotry is low IQ tendency.
And if you demonstrate the same kind of bigotry, then yeah, you're just as stupid. You're
just as low IQ. You just don't want to be associated with that because you think it's
yucky. You think it's a sign of low intelligence. The problem is you have that exact same sign
of low intelligence.
President's core argument, he was making an argument about problems that existed in 2020.
And here's the problem that I'm most focused on. The President, I've talked a lot about
this and I think we share a perspective here, but set to the side the stuff that really
gets you and your audience very angry about whether the count was legitimate in Georgia,
Pennsylvania and any of these other states.
Is it true that large technology companies,
some of whom have financial interests that exist
outside the United States of America,
were they censoring information in the run up
to an election?
And set to the side, again, the Georgia stuff,
but it is-
That was, that was, that was litigated, dominion.
The Fox News paid us.
Well, I'm actually, I'm trying to make the more,
the more middle ground argument here.
The biggest criticism I had of the 2020 election
is that you had technology companies that were quite literally censoring negative information
about the left and promoting negative information about the right.
So in a fundamental sense, like if the First Amendment says that we have a free and open
debate and then the American people judge based on that free and open debate, the sense
in which I think the election in 2020 was rigged, I'm sorry, is that you had technology
companies that were.
Dude come on dude. He won't even concede on the one thing
He won't even concede on the one thing dude. You're like come on come on. I
Come on, I'm begging I want to vote for you just tell me the election was a stolen which by the way
It wasn't okay. Obviously it fucking wasn't stolen. It wasn't stolen when Trump won and it wasn't stolen when Biden won
JD Vance knows this
Okay, Jade Evance fucking knows this.
I'm sorry, he went to Yale, okay?
Of course he knows, he was a huge libtard most of his fucking life.
He knows that shit wasn't stolen.
He just knows he has to play the role.
He has to be a,
Uh, yo, yo, dude, I'm a, I'm a gullible guy.
I'm just like you.
Whoa.
Does Yale mean anything? No, I mean, I'm just saying he's a fucking Yale libtard chatter. Okay, of course he knows
He knows how to read. Okay. He is literate
He knows how to read and he knows how to write. He's just playing the role. I'm just a country bumpkin. Oh, sure
And it's so funny that he's just like, I'm just a local hillbilly, right?
When will this on admit Trump stole it 2024 election spectator?
Come on man, please.
Putting their thumb on the scale in a way that completely obliterated the real open exchange
of ideas.
Now by the way, it didn't happen in 2024, but it happened in 2020 and it was a problem.
Well, you're getting a big pat on the back and you go back to the White House.
Let's talk about your book, Comedian.
I think it's very interesting because, you know, I always want to talk about what people
have in common.
I used to be Catholic.
You're Catholic now.
That's right.
used to be an atheist. I'm an atheist now. So we've been over to the same level. And
you were born a Baptist. This is about your spiritual journey, which is really interesting.
And by the way, very personal. It reminded me a little of Gavin Newsom. He has a book
here.
Really? Bill Maher, the atheist guy, is giving credence to the adult convert?
Hello? What the fuck?
Oh my god, dude, just give it up. You don't believe in anything. You have no beliefs.
Surprising. It didn't look like his book. Did you read his book?
People bought my books. That's the difference between them.
I'm just saying, politicians are getting a lot more real when they write, you know, it's
not like that old kind of book, you know, and it's about your moving toward, I'm just
asking why the Catholics, why go, I didn't have a good experience with them, why did
you, you could have went Hindu, your wife's a Hindu.
No, we should talk about that bill in a longer setting, not just two minutes in front of
the audience.
Do the podcast.
Okay.
No.
Thank you.
I'm not going to smoke weed, though.
I don't want to ruin my political career, but I'm going to ruin my studio right now.
We don't make you the best man.
Let me try to answer that question.
So first of all, I think that there is a core truth of the Catholic or the Christian faith,
that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that all people need grace, okay?
But that fundamental truth that I believe in, I didn't lay in there, I didn't start there.
What I saw was what I would call echoes of that truth in a lot of the people who live
their lives in very, very charitable and good ways.
But I think with Catholicism in particular, what's interesting about it, because I meet
lot of young Catholic converts is they start to discover that truth because they're
yeah I'm done with this I can't listen to this fucking asshole talk about what Catholicism means
to him because I mean he is moments away
this fucking that dipshit is moments away from being excommunicated by the goddamn pope okay
He has duked it out with the motherfucking Pope. I'm sorry. You can't be Catholic and then do that shit, okay?
It's ridiculous if you're gonna be an adult convert you can't shit on the Pope
Like you chose this religion you chose
Catholicism in your old-ass age
okay, and
And then you did the one thing you can't do in Catholicism.
You killed the previous Pope,
and the new Pope you're arguing with all the time.
It's fucking ridiculous.
It's ridiculous. Get the fuck out of here.
Why would you, why would you change your, your Christian sect
if you're just not gonna follow the, the number one rule, you know?
It's like converting. It's like reverting to Islam in your old age to be like, well, I love eating pork. That's the one thing I love doing. Okay.
Well, I guess you're not a fucking real convert then. What do you mean you like eating pork?
What the fuck?
It's ridiculous. Some of us were born into this shit, okay?
Okay. It blows my mind. What is this new DSA swag fire? Finally, we got hot jackets,
twin cities, DSA. Damn, that is fire.
It's very important that the socialist movement has swag, okay?
It's very, very, very important that the socialist movement has swag.
Obviously, it's not for today, you know, it's gonna, it's 100 degrees out, but we have to
be, we have to have swag.
We have to look good.
We have to make people feel good.
It's very, very important.
None of this whole like, oh, this is body fascism.
Nope.
We're not doing that anymore.
1.0, okay?
Socialists are taking over American cities,
and that can fundamentally change urban life
and the political landscape in America.
If you don't know the name Janice Lewis George yet,
you should probably get used to hearing it.
Lewis George won the Democratic primary
for mayor of Washington, D.C. in June,
which of course means Lewis George
basically won the mayor'ship of Washington, D.C. in June.
And this was pretty significant on a local level.
Lewis George was younger, less experienced,
and less establishment than her main opponent,
and she beat him easily.
The biggest reason this matters, though, is simple.
Lewis George is a democratic socialist,
and it's worth thinking about that
on a really basic level for a second.
The capital city of the wealthiest,
most powerful country in the world,
the country that has done more than any
to spread capitalism and capitalist ideas
throughout the globe will now be led by a socialist.
That's a really big deal,
and it's why, if you follow politics,
you're probably gonna be hearing Lewis George's name
a lot in the years ahead,
Because there is a real potential that DC and the federal government are now on a collision
course.
DC has had control of most of its local affairs since 1973, when Congress passed the Home
Rule Act.
But the federal government does still have control and veto power over a lot of the district's
policies, which Republicans especially have historically been very happy to use, on issues
from marijuana to abortion rights to charter schools.
Even many Democrats have supported some of those efforts sometimes, like in 2023.
Donald Trump himself has now called for curtailing DC's home world.
That maybe we'll take back Washington and run it on the federal basis.
And Lewis George gives him an ideal foil.
It's kind of a perfect storm for conflict.
And it could be a real storyline for Trump's final two years.
But you should know about Lewis George for another bigger reason.
She is part of a wave of new socialist mayors in big cities.
And that could remake the Democratic Party and urban life in America.
Across the country, we are seeing the emergence of a real beachhead of socialist political power.
concentrated in big blue urban enclaves.
Of course, there's Zoran Mandani,
who leads the country's largest city
and has become a genuine political
and pop culture phenomenon.
But it's not just him.
Seattle is now led by Katie Wilson,
who defeated the incumbent mayor in the 2025 election.
She's since broken with decades of the status quo,
aggressively going after companies like Starbucks and Amazon,
which have deep roots in the city
and traditionally have had a lot of political power there.
In Los Angeles, Nithya Raman is in a runoff
with the incumbent mayor, Karen Bass.
And at least so far, early polling shows it as a toss-up
and a real possibility that Robin could win.
And if she does, it would punctuate a really clear trend.
A decade ago, Bernie Sanders was basically laughed out
of a lot of rooms for being a democratic socialist.
And he had to cause...
No one is watching Hanson if they are.
He's just his audience with his entire lecture worthy
for Bill Maher to joke about.
Event Lee Bill is going to joke about Hanson.
In reality, many are enjoying themselves
and not watching Hanson worthy of Gutfeld and Chappelle jokes.
I
Fuck
Paul Pelosi's on the run no
Paul Pelosi husband of Speaker emerita Nancy Pelosi's facing a hit-and-run charge for a crash in Uteville Napa County
Sheriff's everything's announced Paul Pelosi accused of hitting a park car briefly stopping and then driving away. Oh my god
That's my goat. Oh, he's doing it again. Oh, he's doing the damn thing again, bro
Let Paul Pelosi drive. Okay. I'm a single issue voter keeping Paul Pelosi behind the
wheel. Dude, dude, this man at his old ass age loves drunk driving. What the fuck? Many
other boomers, many other boomers, what do they like to do? They like to vote. Okay.
They live to vote. Uh, they don't vote to live. They live to vote. Okay. Paul Pelosi loves
drunk driving. He loves drunk driving so much. I've never seen someone at his age
consistently get caught drunk driving and then continue doing it.
I don't know what the fuck's going on. I don't know why he just, he loves insider trading and
drunk driving. And now he can't insider trade anymore because Nancy Pelosi is no longer on the
inside. So now he has only one of his two hobbies, which is driving. I genuinely find
this to be impressive. Okay. I find this to be very impressive. Who's going to be the
first DSA center? Don't think DSA is running anyone for us. And at the cycle as possible,
AES could apply to join federal SAIO after he's like otherwise might be summer leader
AOC, why are you saying this? Why are you sending me this link or this response?
Senator Mitch McConnell's wife reportedly traveled to China just three days after he
received CPR following an ART attack. Oh, that's the other thing. Mitch McConnell's wife is obviously
at Chinese. And not only that, but also has like direct, like direct connection to China still.
She was also, wasn't she like the transportation secretary or something? Like what the fuck was
her job. Didn't they give her like a cabinet position? Am I crazy? What does she do? Dude,
Republicans love getting away with it by the way. That's, it's crazy. They are...
Am I crazy? Did I make that up? Didn't she have a position, like a cabinet position,
Ms. McConnell's wife. Let me look this up.
She was named as a Kennedy Center trustee. Elaine Lan Chow is a Taiwanese American business
woman, former government official who served as the United States secretary of labor in the
George W. Bush administration. And then yep, he did United States secretary of transportation,
the first admin of Donald Trump. I was right. A member of the Republican party, Chow was the
first Asian American woman to serve in a presidential cabinet. She resigned as transportation secretary
after the January 6th United States Capitol attack. Chow was born in Taipei.
They fled China as a result of the Chinese civil war. She immigrated to the United States when she
was eight years old. Her father founded the foremost group in America's shipping company,
based in New York. Chow was raised in Queens, New York and on Long Island and received degrees
from Mount Holly Oak College in Harvard Business School. Chinese wife, CCP winning.
Yeah, she immigrated to the United States when she was eight years old. She was the eldest of six
daughters. Unfathomably rich, I'm pretty sure. Chow attended Tsai Sing Elementary School in
in Taiwan for kindergarten, first grade, holy oak. Okay. Chinese baddie. I'm not going to
say anything, okay?
Um, post-bishop administration, secretary of transportation, um, other proposals, controversy,
controversies. In 2013, liberal super PAC progress Kentucky tweeted about Mitch McConnell's
Chinese wife and allegedly that's why your job moved to China.
The tweets were removed following the investigation by NPR that noted Chow was a US citizen was
born in Taiwan and that the PAC had failed to have required a fair defile, failed to
file required disclosures. Similar message by Kentucky Democrat in 2014 claimed that
Chow isn't from Kentucky. She's Asian. That's crazy. Creates a claim that our family, shipping
company. Formos groups has ties to China from January. This is what I was thinking of. Yes,
from January, 2018 to April, 2019, 72% of total tonnage of chartered cargo shipped by Formos groups.
Formos group was shipped to and from China during Mitch McConnell's reelection campaign.
2020 is Democratic opponent. Amy McGrath accused McConnell of making millions from China.
The Washington Post called these claims spurious and then rated them three Pinocchios out of a
possible for. Okay, as Secretary of Transportation Chow appeared, and at least it doesn't interviews
with their 96 year old father, James, the founder of a family shipping company. Some
media outlets said the appearances raised ethical concerns, public officials are prohibited
from using their office of profit for themselves. Remember, guys, can you remember a time when
people would make a fuss about such things? You know, ethical concerns, because public
officials a prohibitive from using their office of profit others or themselves. Oh my God, remember?
Transportation department's inspector general cited instances where Chow's office helped promote
the family's shipping business. The inspector general has the Trump administration's Justice
Department in December to consider a criminal investigation in the Chow, but the DOJ denied
the request. Federal disclosure cited by the New York Times revealed a gift Chow and her husband
from Charles' father vowed to $5 million and $25 million.
Anyway,
fucking laundry list of controversies.
But, yeah, Mitch McConnell's Asian baddie wife, Mitch McConnell's ABG wife flew to China three days
after Mitch McConnell was hospitalized. Oh, no.
Yeah. Eileen L. Chao, who was married to 84-year-old Republican lawmakers, is 93 and formerly served
transvestite sector in the first Trump admissions and traveled to Beijing and met with Chinese Vice
President Han Zheng just days after McConnell's hospitalization. What? Ayo! Ayo!
She said, we're moving on to bigger and better things.
That's crazy.
Photocirculating in Chinese media showed Chao sitting across from Zheng on June 17th reportedly
discussing efforts to strengthen China-U.S. relations.
Hey, she's with us.
She's with us.
She's with us.
The timing of the visit adds further questions to a growing list of McConnell's aides.
To a growing list of McConnell's aides have declined to answer since an EMS call made
public this week revealed he had been hospitalized after suffering a heart attack on June 14th
with an emergency dispatch sent to his Washington DC residents.
Audio of the call was first ruled by journalist Desiree Townsend.
The Republican senators team has confirmed he's in the hospital, but has offered no further
details about his condition, including whether he's conscious or who is currently running his office.
Senator McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support he's received while he continues
his recovery in the hospital. He's dead, bro. He's dead.
Jeremy Foss, an emergency physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Assistant Professor
Harvard has warned that McConnell's condition could be more serious than his team is letting
on, noting that most patients who survive CPR after a heart attack are not able to take care
their bodily needs. If it does work, we can restart their heart and their heart is beating
spontaneously. That begins a long road to recovery even for the healthiest of patients.
So when you have a person who is elderly who has other underlying medical conditions,
it's really concerning. McConnell has faced several health scares during his seven Senate terms,
having first been elected the Senate in 1985 and serving the longest tenure of any Kentucky
senator though concerns about his health have become more frequent in more
series of recent years
in february spent eight days in the hospital for checking himself in an
abundance of caution following flu-like symptoms
he noted that on june twenty second when mcconnell's already in the hospital his
spokesperson david pop said only that he would not be voting without addressing
medical condition. Democrat Charles Booker, who's seeking to replace McConnell's question whether
his team is trying to conceal the extent of his condition, suggesting he may no longer be fit to
serve office. Obviously, Booker is my first pick for McConnell's replacement, but I'll take Thomas
as messy as a second pick, if necessary. You know what I mean?

that you would fly to China right after your husband is most likely dead.

fucking vice president, bro. Dude, can you imagine a Democrat? I have traveled to China.
I'm a Turkish American citizen. Okay. I have no connection to Chinese heritage or to the
nation state of the People's Republic of China. When I went to China, everybody said, I'm
a motherfucking Chinese agent. I'm being paid by the Chinese government. Meanwhile, I repeat
so much fucking money for that China trip. It's unbelievable. I wish the fucking Chinese
government funded that trip. God damn it. That was all fear and funds. Anyway, that's
besides the point, okay? That she was expensive as hell.
Meanwhile, the wife, the Chinese wife of Mitch McConnell, flew to China three days after Mitch
McConnell most likely died. Okay. And met with the vice president publicly. Dog. Republicans
get away with everything. Republicans get away with everything. What do you think they
talked about, I don't know, normalizing China-US relations, which I don't have an issue with.
This is the most Erica Kirk moment I have seen. Dude, I swear to God,
Republican wives are also Republican operatives themselves, and they're fucking straight demonic.
Okay? They're so goddamn cutthroat. It's kind of crazy.
Wow, not beating the misogyny allegations by being this mad at a woman of color having

Yeah.

numbers on the board I really like it too haven't you we've been exposed to
controversies and warnings and just non-stop bad news our entire lives but
this it's different. Beneath all these chaotic headlines that we see every
single day it just feels like something bigger is happening. Do me a favor, try
and think of one, just one general thing in your life that has improved in the last
10 years. Has your quality of health care 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 points. 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 nonetheless that I've been sharing and discussing and refining for years.
For you, it's merely some lenses that you can try on when reading your newsfeed.
It's an introduction to what comes after capitalism, something I can only call leverageism.
Capitalism on paper is dependent on economic and technological growth.
On 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.
Not only is that example kind of a literal one when we look at the American obesity epidemic,
the capitalism also led to agricultural innovation and global supply chains and wealth creation
in developing countries that played a huge part in decreasing global hunger.
It's worth recognizing that in 1970, one third of the people on this planet were starving
and now that number is down to about 8.2%.
How much of that achievement can be awarded to capitalism can be...
I mean, I wouldn't even say 1970s onward, but I would say that, and this is Marxist analysis
as well, capitalism is a progressive force as opposed to feudalism.
So it's true.
It's just that we have evolved past the need for capitalism.
To say that capitalism didn't do that industrialism which could be under any system is, is
is both correct and incorrect. It doesn't matter. That's what did it, okay?
Especially, obviously, the abolition of extreme poverty, the destruction of extreme poverty
directly comes from the development and redistributive policies of China, but-
Debated, but ignoring that this drop-in. Ben Jordan is inventing Marxism from first
principles by doing ironically exactly what Karl Marx did, which is a reflection on the
progressive trends that came out of capitalism, and then talking about how it's gone far,
it's gone too far, and now everything fucking sucks, and is, I hope, arriving at an accurate
and apt analysis of the inherent contradictions within capitalism and how that it creates
this tremendous contradiction amongst these two warring classes, you know, the working class
and the capital owners, and how much the consolidation of wealth in the hands and the
consolidation of power in the hands of the capital owning class has created all of these tremendous
excesses and issues. Stammin happened in a time when all but four countries rely on a capitalist
structure would be disingenuous. Let's revisit that on paper part. So like even if we limit our
For examples to Coca-Cola, who I seem to frequently use for economic examples for some reason,
capitalism leads to a lot of evil shit.
In 1954, Coca-Cola financially and politically supported a CIA-backed military coup of Guatemala.
Then in the early 2000s, Coca-Cola was suspected to have hired right-wing paramilitary death
squads to assassinate union leaders.
Coca-Cola is the number one top plastic polluter in the world, despite their constant marketing
of their sustainability goals.
They've caused water shortages in Latin America and India by depleting local aquifers.
They have bottling partners that have been repeatedly accused of human rights violations
and suppressing union organization.
They have Israeli franchises that have sourced their resources from occupied Palestinian
territories which is considered illegal under international law.
Is the existence of capitalism the problem here?
Most progressive people would answer that question with a resounding yes.
I think it's debatable.
I would argue that most of these things that Coke did violate the rules written by capitalist
governments and the problem is...
Oh, no, don't tell me real capitalism hasn't been tried. No, I product of jealousy since capitalism is frequently
Associated with hoarding more resources than your neighbors
We tend to associate capitalism with being a douchebag and that's totally fair
So much so that we even get popular memes and fake Karl Marx quotes like there is no ethical consumption under capitalism
Which is a completely sane and reasonable thing to shout at lemonade stands and farmers markets
The reason I'm discussing this to begin with is to highlight what American capitalism means on paper and how
apparently nobody has seen that paper in decades.
You need to react to Louis Rosman.
Louis Rosman hates me.
He's like a fucking epstiny dick writer, isn't he?
Maybe he changed his position.
Maybe nothing in the last video was what happened between the Great Depression.
Ben on the other hand does not, and I really like Ben.
I'm joking when I say boo.
And the 2000s.
Let's go back to 1933, and I think we need a whole tone scale for this.
Hey, I'm in 1933. Shit sucks. Nobody has any money.
I've been eating shit like dandelions and potato soup and a bunch of poorly thought out ways to eat hot dogs.
All this happened because a bunch of people got really greedy and borrowed more money than they could ever pay back and invested in it.
Bro, who made those all those instruments behind you got them?
I mean, I know you're joking, but that is a very common argument that people actually present.
And the answer always is workers, labor. Labor made them. Okay?
What is the deal with that?
Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration was both aware of capitalism's potential to increase
the American quality of life, but also its potential to cannibalize itself.
And it is truly remarkable to me that nearly 100 years ago, they saw the exact same mechanism
that's playing out today.
And this was at a time when some of your baseball watching and apple pie eating Americans were
still in the fence about communism, and they had solid representation via the CPUSA.
A lot of American citizens believed that the Soviet Union was a rising egalitarian society
that was immune to the Western economic crisis that they were experiencing.
The New Deal took this into serious consideration and ultimately wasn't about social services
or directly addressing wealth inequality like the Soviet Union, but instead about sticking
to the whole freedom thing and redefining capitalism in a way that would allow Americans
to organically solve these problems using their own capitalist motivations.
All of this kicked off with the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933.
No longer would a commercial bank that provided consumer and business loans be allowed to deal
with underwrite or invest in private securities, and investment banks would no longer be able
to take consumer deposits.
So to give you an example, J.P. Morgan was forced to start a separate business for all
the risky stuff, and that eventually became Morgan's Stanley.
This act also created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC.
This guaranteed that if you had money in a commercial bank and that bank failed or went
out of business, you would be guaranteed reimbursement up to a specified limit.
All of this, combined with a whole lot of historically progressive labor laws and a
tiny little skirmish called World War II, set America up to make the most savvy financial
move in the history of trade.
You know those crazy conspiracy stories where the elite Illuminati members will meet up
somewhere in the woods and decide how they'll control the world?
That actually kind of happened.
And to some degree, the economic fate of...
It still happens.
All the time.
It's just called Davos. It's called G10. It's called World Economic Forum to a certain degree.
So it happens all the time throughout the year. People get together very openly. It's not a secret. They do it all the time.
you and your family was decided in that meeting.
Towards the end of the Second World War in July of 1944,
delegates from 44 Allied nations met in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire,
with the goal of designing and negotiating a post-war financial system.
At the time, pretty much the entire world was economically devastated,
but due to our size and geographic isolation, American soil was mostly untouched by the war.
We also held between 70 and 80% of the world's gold reserves
were easily the largest manufacturing economy on the planet.
The Bretton Woods Compromise offered a way that countries could facilitate international
trade with a trusted currency without having to lug literal bars of gold everywhere.
The United States pegged the U.S. dollar strictly to gold at a fixed rate of $35 per
ounce, and it was guaranteed that any foreign bank could turn in $35 and receive a physical
ounce of gold from Fort Knox.
Then every other nation in this agreement pegged their individual currency to the U.S. dollar,
which was then used exclusively for trading commodities such as oil.
Hashtag, where's the gold?
Hashtag, investigate Fort Knox.
Fill with one another.
Normally, if a country spends more money than it takes in,
their currency and spending power would devalue,
which would cause domestic inflation.
But now, the world would need to use US dollars
to conduct any form of trade.
And over time, the US started printing more and more dollars
to import commodities like consumer goods and oil
from other nations without having to worry about the US dollar losing value.
Another advantageous side effect of this was a unique type of stagnation.
While watching America go on a shopping spree, other nations realized that their US dollars
would lose value just sitting in a vault somewhere so their safest option at the time was to
buy US treasury bonds.
This created and inflated an extra-
A secret cafe was still a place these days called the Bohemian Grove yet it's such a
secret that you know about it.
secret. The Bohemian girl is not a secret. It's just where fucking, it's basically a country club
where Republicans and Democrats can get together and do gay shit. That's it.
Ordinary global demand for US government debt, allowing us to borrow money for absurdly low
interest rates to fund our infrastructure and become the most powerful military in the history of the
world. At the late 1960s, the world started losing confidence in this system. Economists like Milton
John Friedman and Robert Triffin saw this as a flawed and dangerous economic rule set.
One of the US gold standard sharpest critics was French President Charles de Gaulle, who
frequently publicly condemned the monetary system calling it an exorbitant privilege.
And de Gaulle called the US out on their bluff and demanded to trade massive amounts of US
dollars for American gold.
Between 1963 and 1966, 24 secret boat trips supervised by the French Navy in several flights
across the Atlantic Ocean carrying back a total of 3,313 tons of gold from America.
They stole our gold, you goddamn French!
Investigate Fort Knox!
We worth nearly half a trillion dollars today.
After printing and spending incredibly reckless amounts of money on the Vietnam War,
the American government knew that the jig was up.
The wild conspiracy theory that the American dollar wasn't actually in parity with American gold
was now a frequent public discussion by international leaders.
Nobody knows how far out of parody gold in the US dollar was, but it wouldn't exactly be a stretch of the imagination
to think that if England or Japan or any other large nation decided to cash in their currency like France did,
there'd be no more gold left to give them.
So instead, on August 15th, 1971, President Nixon addressed the nation and told Americans that they were, in fact, the victims of the Bretton Wood Agreement.
The speculators have been waging an all-out war on the American dollar.
Does that sound similar to another grand design that America put forward in this era, ironically
enough, that we now claim that we were the ultimate victims of?
Hmm.
Hmm.
Interesting.
I have directed the Secretary of the Treasury to take the action necessary to defend the
dollar against the speculators.
He ambiguously villainized and referred to West Germany and Japan as international speculators
and accused them of creating economic crises to rob money from Americans.
He drew vague parallels between himself and Franklin D. Roosevelt, and he announced a
new deal of his own.
In order to protect Americans from these international speculators, the US dollar, the currency in
which-
What the fuck do you think Donald Trump is saying and doing right now?
That's literally what Trump is doing currently.
The notion that America has been fucked over is complete nonsense.
The world trade almost exclusively took place
would no longer be backed by gold or anything tangible.
If you are among the overwhelming majority of Americans,
your dollar will be worth just as much tomorrow as it is today.
Over the next few years, the inflation rate of the U.S. dollar doubled, and the U.S. and most of the
western world entered into a severe recession. OPEC, or the Organization of Petroleum Exporting
Countries, tried to price oil against gold to create international economic stability,
but this led to even less stability. This made previous oil production complications much worse,
and oil prices quadrupled from $3 per barrel to $12 per barrel overnight, and by the end of the
decade, crude oil prices skyrocketed by roughly 1000%. As a result, gas stations could no longer
or afford to resupply their storage tanks, and in many places, Americans would spend
entire days waiting to fill up their vehicles.
In the north, many people reverted to heating their homes with wood-burning stoves, and
in an effort to save fuel, Nixon ordered that the maximum speed limit be set to 55 miles
per hour nationwide.
This led to truckers going on strike, and they started coordinating via citizen-band
radios, inventing their own slang and terms to confuse law enforcement.
Many of those who were on strike spent their time slashing tires, shooting trucks, and
dropping cinder blocks from bridges on non-participating truck drivers.
More than a few people were killed over these disputes, and the entire country suffered enormous
supply chain disruptions.
And then Nixon had another one of his brilliant ideas.
In 1973, he signed a bill extending daylight savings time to last the entire year.
As violent crime rates rose to the highest point in recorded American history, and children
walked to school in total darkness because there was not enough fuel for their school
bus, Americans rightfully started wondering if the people in charge had no f***ing idea
what they were doing.
But it would turn out that some people, like Treasury Secretary William Simon, did know
what they were doing.
He would take top secret trips to Saudi Arabia to negotiate another deal that would give
the American economy the asymmetrical leverage it needed to become whole again.
In 1974, the US and Saudi Arabia quietly forged an alliance.
It was not announced to the public or foreign leaders, but was conducted as a highly calculated
and secretive economic handshake.
The Saudi kingdom, who was by far the top oil producer in the world, agreed to price
and sell every drop of its crude oil exports exclusively in US dollars.
And because the entire world needed oil to industrialize, every nation on earth was suddenly
forced to build up massive reserves of US dollars just to continue operating.
But it gets far more calculated than that.
The United States now had by far the most powerful military in the world, as it was
subsidized by previously printing money in excess of their own previous gold standard.
the U.S. agreed to give the Saudi monarchy an ironclad security guarantee. The U.S.
would provide cutting-edge military hardware training and an implicit promise that the
American military would intervene and protect the Saudi royal family in their oil fields
from...
With one exception. There's only one country. There is one country that has overturned this
ironclad guarantee.
And in return, the Saudis agreed to recycle their excess oil profits directly back into
the US economy by purchasing billions upon billions of dollars in US Treasury bonds.
And in this same decade, between 1970 and 1980, Saudi Arabia's GDP went from $4 billion
to $164 billion.
That's like earning $15 an hour at McDonald's and within the next decade.
Yes, Estonia. That's the country that America places the interest above all others.
It's Estonia.
Gade earning $615 an hour at McDonald's.
The G.D. Keeper Capita in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE eclipsed the earnings of even the wealthy class of people in America and Europe.
If you've ever watched footage showcasing insane tacky levels of wealth in Dubai, now you know where that wealth originated.
But for the context of this video, this creation of what is now called the Petrodollar put America back on their chariot of asymmetrical
leverage while the rest of the world would have to, you know, cut down forests and mine materials and make shit to sell.
If you're on the side of bringing manufacturing back to the U.S., this may be the most important argument I'll ever have to give you.
We ever mentioned insane amounts of privilege from the gold standard in Petrodollar allowed America to outsource most of the things that we don't feel like doing.
Mining, drilling, refining, working long hours in a factory.
Instead of pilfering our natural resources and letting it degrade our citizens' quality
of life, we instead adjusted our ties and thought about-
Well, we low-key kind of still do that.
We still do that.
It's just more invisible.
But we still do it nonetheless.
It is an intellectual property that other countries could make for us to consume.
Like try and conceptualize this.
I live on land that has a whole lot of iron and pyrite on it.
And then we have a small river with virtually unlimited water just down there.
I live in an economic reality with so much privilege that not once have I ever considered digging up these resources and selling them.
I literally live on a farm. I don't grow plants to sell, and I literally give my chicken eggs away to friends and neighbors.
And if I have a big surplus, I just throw them at a tree and then the chickens eat them.
Let's just use copper production as an example as it's pretty much available everywhere on earth.
And Congo, an average of 6.8 tons of copper, is extracted or processed per square miles.
In China, it's an average of 6.5 tons. In Mexico, it's 1.76 tons.
But here in America, with our vast, enormous copper deposits,
it's 12 pounds of copper processed per square mile.
Instead, we import the majority of the copper we use from other places so we
could keep our land looking pretty and our air smelling clean.
So when I hear billionaires squawking about bringing manufacturing and mining jobs back
to the U.S. and then advocating for the removal of immigrants who are willing to do those jobs,
I think to myself, did they somehow miss the last 80 years of economic prosperity?
Is it f***ing possible that they don't understand how any of this works?
Or is it entirely possible that they do understand how this works?
And the problem is actually that too many Americans are too comfortable,
and that probably sounds crazy, but stick with me,
because first we need to philosophically understand leverage.
Leverage is a term frequently used by economists,
although maybe not frequently enough.
Studying leverage on an investment is about as fun as writing down thousands of metrics
and using logistic regression to predict a fight instead of just betting against Jake
Paul and then watching him get back unconscious and you winning $100 in the process.
So you decide to rent a home in a small town where every house costs exactly $100,000 and
you're saving up to buy one. I decided to move to the same town as well, but not just to live there.
I'm going to try and make as much money as possible. I happen to have $100,000 in cash,
so I buy a house. A year goes by property value increases by 10% and I sell the same house for
$110,000 making 10% profit on my equity. But then I get a better idea. I take $100,000 from the sale
of my house and use it as five $20,000 down payments on five houses. Another year of 10%
value increase will earn me 50% return on investment. So why don't I do this in real life?
Why don't I own dozens of properties? Well because this isn't some sort of infinite money glitch,
It's a high-risk maneuver. In fact, it's asymmetrical against me because if those properties would lose 20% of their value before I sell them
Well, I would lose 100% of my input. Well, good thing that is it be functionally illegal in the United States of America
investment and be broke
But there's a whole lot more to this long before George Soros was known for paying everybody in the world to be mean to Alex Jones and Donald Trump
He wrote a classic and important book called the Alchemy of Finance which was published in
1987. This book introduced and popularized the theory of reflexivity, which is now arguably
cited more in anthropology than it is in finance, continuing with my pedantic little example here.
As we all know, one of the few predictable things about housing markets is that they constantly
fluctuate. And if I arrive to that town with millions or billions of dollars in capital to
absorb the housing market losing value, I'd be able to tip the scales in a way where I'm not as
exposed to the asymmetrical risk. If I buy enough of these houses in this little town,
I'm actually not only contributing to the increase in the appraised property value,
but I'm able to maneuver the local economy to my benefit. I could perform a little magic trick
called the dividend recap. I could create a shadow company and then sell the houses to myself,
far below their actual value. Then when this causes comparable houses to be appraised at a
lower value, I can buy them and rent them at higher prices until I create a housing shortage,
which will then inflate the value for when I decide to sell them.
By the way, none of this is hypothetical.
This is exactly what Blackstone did via invitation homes after the 2008 financial crisis.
And Blackstone, for example, is now the largest owner of individual houses in the United States.
And then we're renting them to people as opposed to selling them.
It's a good business for us, it's a new thing, but it's also good for America and it's good
to be able to provide housing for those people.
So, so nice, thank you for providing housing.
Who need it?
In fact, they built a highly sophisticated algorithm to scan real estate markets and
intentionally overpaid for houses to price out families who wanted to live in them.
Over the years, plenty of white papers commissioned by private equity firms openly detail these
theories.
Causing as a supply constrained asset with inelastic demand that can systematically block the working
class from building generational wealth through homeownership.
Instead, this guarantees that workers' income can be siphoned back into Wall Street equity.
In 2026, this is now commonplace in nearly every industry.
Nearly every price tag you see is partially hypothetical, obfuscating the objective value
that the commodity holds.
The consumer sees a product, service, company, or rental property.
Private equity sees a debt service.
Let's visit another painful real-world example that you'll probably remember.
In 2004, Toys R Us and Babies R Us were profitable and due to the real-estate holdings considered
stable with the B-plus rating by standard and poor. Their financial flexibility was rated as
adequate but due to big box stores like Walmart and Target, they needed to make some changes to
remain that way. But then, KKR, Fane Capital, and Vornado Realty Trust smelled their favorite type
of blood and-
Miromnini Private.
It didn't exactly take a clairvoyant to see that Amazon was going to be another big threat to Toys
They had just launched a dedicated toy warehouse, but Toys R Us had about $100 million per year
to reinvest into growing an e-commerce platform that could compete against or integrate with Amazon.
But instead, they used that money to leverage more debt.
So much debt that nobody with a calculator could ever imagine them being able to carry it.
So much debt, in fact, that the interest rates were four times higher than the $100 million
they would otherwise be using to reinvest in growth.
This massive pile of borrowed money would pay for over $470 million in management fees and dividend recapitalization, not revitalizing the business.
That's because this private equity buyout was never about making toys or us more profitable or selling more toys.
It was about using the company as a debt service.
For a long 12 years, the store downsized.
Employees were underpaid and eventually terminated.
Buildings once associated with children's Christmas gifts acting as anchor stores for entire malls
now rotted as they sat vacant.
And it's worth noting that these same vampiric ship bags
did the exact same thing to KB Toys,
Jim Berree and Sports Authority.
It's almost as if they have a fetish
for suffocating or child retail nostalgia.
The transition from a growth-based economy
to an authoritarian one is difficult
when your life is part of it,
but this clears up when you zoom out
over a period of years to examine the business models.
It's a play that's not dissimilar
to private equities manipulation of the housing market,
but instead of robbing your family
of an opportunity to build generational wealth,
it robs you of the opportunity to consume information freely. And of course,
an incredible example of this would be AI. But I need to make an important disclaimer here.
I'm not really big on anti-AI rants. AI is a broad term covering technology that has,
for example, legitimately transformed medicine and healthcare research. It's also transformed
how effectively insurance companies can deny claims for people who need life-saving treatment.
And in a way, I'm not even talking about AI, but about the mechanism.
Those are, by the way, on the polar opposites of like,
like those are on the polar opposites of like AI having to have, AI having to actually work
versus AI deliberately not working.
Like this can't fail. This can't hallucinate. This, the expectation is that it fails because
that's, it's fine. It's fine for it to fail. The whole point of it is to make the wrong
decisions. So you can just point to the ad to be like, sorry, denial of your, there's
there's a denial of your coverage.
The AI said so.
This can deny claims for people who need life-saving treatment.
And in a way, I'm not even talking about AI,
but about the mechanism in which it's being used
to exploit multiple industries and the world economy itself.
Last September, NVIDIA announced a $100 billion investment
into open AI, which is a little weird as open AI
from their own optimistic projections
is on track to burn more cash than any company in history.
But this starts to make a little more sense
when you take into consideration
that NVIDIA has monopolized the expensive hardware used in data centers as open AI would
be spending a whole lot of that investment buying NVIDIA GPUs. Open AI spent investment
on securing exclusive purchase agreements with top memory components suppliers like Samsung,
cornering as much as 40% of global DRAM production capacity, which has now made it effectively
impossible for consumers and small businesses to buy or build computers that could use AI
locally. And it's nearly impossible to even buy new high-speed drives to store large amounts
of data. This has caused major problems in the video game industry, as even Titans like
Sony and Microsoft are considering delaying console launches due to unreasonable production
costs and limitations, which then gets even more absurd when you consider that Microsoft
holds a 27% equity stake in OpenAI's for-profit arm valued at $135 billion. In that same month
as Nvidia's OpenAI deal, they paid $6.3 billion to purchase CoreWeb's unsold data center capacity
through 2032, despite owning 7% of the company at the time and being their GPU supplier.
Obviously, at this point, no visualization could possibly describe this clusterf**k
and I'm just using them because it's funny.
Simply calling this an AI bubble is far too forgiving.
This is, in the opinion of many economists, unprecedented and rampant investment fraud.
I'm sure this isn't news to any of my viewers, but Google has do prioritized its functionality
as a search engine and replaced your experience with Gemini.
I suppose to an-
Oh my fucking god, I know. It's so goddamn annoying.
Oh my god, everything is getting shittier and shittier. I fucking hate it.
Extremely optimistic user, this is an evolution of a search engine.
Now instead of having to look around and sort through important context,
you are instead served an answer to your question whether you desire this feature or not.
Here's an example, and I literally just tested this on the first try.
Yesford A. The Verge published a short interview with me where I was asked,
What is your happy place online?
So let's just skip the chore of reading an article and ask Google.
It turns out that my happy place online is a VR game for MetaQuest called Walk About Minigolf,
which is weird because I have no idea what the f*** that is.
This is because Gemini has confused me with Roger Lin, the creator of the MPC drum machine.
My actual answer to this question was a free music programming language called Strudel,
and this information is literally in the metadata of the first link in the actual Google search.
There are some differences between my actual life and my Gemini life.
Gemini claims that I married some lady named Jackie in 2021.
And approximately seven years ago, I started bleaching my eyebrows platinum blonde to match
my hair. Then I switched to shaving after reading about the chemicals in the dye.
But I now really like having no eyebrows because it allows my eyes and lips to stand out more.
This is all innocent and amusing, until it's not.
In 2025, Hassan Piker was viewing one of my videos on a stream and someone in the chat
speculated on my spance on Israel.
Stop. You guys are... No, no, no, no, no. I don't... I don't want to believe it. Shut up. You're lying.
The following day, I had received a ton of messages expressing disappointment for me having made a video
detailing my support for Israel after taking a trip there to interview IDF soldiers. The problem with
this is, I've never been to Israel in my life. In fact, decades ago, when on tour in the region,
I would intentionally avoid Israel due to the apartheid condition, and have repeatedly been
and both a vocal and financial supporter of Palestinian state.
I gotta believe your fucking bullshit, by the way, chatters.
I did literally reach out to him, by the way, after that, and...
I don't know if I mentioned it, but...
But Google's Gemini was, for some reason, mixing me up with the Newsmax reporter who
I share virtually nothing in common with, and then prioritizing that absurd level of
misinformation over the actual search results, even after multiple news outlets covered and
published Gemini's monumental f**k up in detail, searching Ben Jordan Israel didn't
bother identifying that Gemini itself caused this problem and claimed that I had addressed
it over a year before it even happened.
So right now you're probably thinking, why is this guy not literally suing Google right
now?
In the case of Robbie Starbuck, who Gemini had wrongfully claimed was a sexual predator,
Google's defense in a request to dismiss his lawsuit called the case misleading because
there was no evidence that anyone didn't know that they were hallucinations.
They even went to the extent of accusing him of misusing the platform to create the AI hallucinations as evidence because they weren't technically documented or immediately reproducible.
These are not rare glitches. These types of hallucinations happen a lot, almost the majority of the time.
Last October, the BBC and European Broadcasting Union published a study that showed that 45% of AI news queries produced, and I quote, erroneous answers.
This is an enormous problem in liability that breaks the very thing that these AI models
are supposed to be doing.
These companies are enormous, multi-billion dollar conglomerates with strategists and economists
and massive legal teams.
So why in the world would this profoundly and confidently unreliable technology not only
be recklessly prioritized but forced on users of virtually every major technical platform?
Because it's clearly intellectual property theft.
the verb. Yeah, like, it's also manipulatable to not only does it hallucinate, but you can
also manipulate it. One example is all of those AI written articles about my father's
vast billion dollar wealth. Okay.
That is part of the reason why there's a unbelievable amount of fucking LinkedIn. Okay, guys.
There's an unbelievable amount of misinformation that just fucking flies around and because
there's so many dumb motherfuckers out there who trust this shit, because there's so many
dumb motherfuckers out there who trust this shit, they literally think it's real.
They're like, oh, as long as dad is a billionaire, nobody.
And I mean, nobody does the thing that I did with Ben Jordan, ironically enough.
And I was like, I don't believe you.
And then I searched it for myself.
then I did something even better than that. I reached out to him. Okay. If you don't do
that, which many people don't do, right, you'll just believe a whole bunch of nonsense. Every
right wing YouTube would deliberately runs misinformation. Could be training an AI to
hallucinate about you. Yeah. I mean, that's the old school
nonsense, though. The old school nonsense was when people would
just lie about your, you know, your worldview or lie about, you
know, your past, whatever, right? Nowadays, this is already mass
serialized. There are people who are deliberately lying. But
then there's also a shit ton of people who don't know the truth,
who are just acting on that lie, and adding on to it. And then, to make matters worse,
the place that you are supposed to go to to figure out whether this is a lie or not, is also lying to you.
I'm gonna look it up. Hassan Piker father billionaire. Oh damn. Okay. Gemini is not
lying. It says, no, Sampaiker's father is not a billionaire.
People don't realize how rich Hasan actually is.
First thing that pops up, H3H3 Productions. People don't realize how rich Hasan's family
actually are. His father was the vice president of a bunch of one of Turkey's biggest conglomerates.
It's a $37 billion company. So it's insanely ironic when he wears an emo shirt and say,
make the rich pay when he himself was a one percenter and that's putting it very mildly.
Thank god the first thing that comes up when you google this is from my mass harassment subreddit
just fucking straight up lying. But Sompikers parents backgrounds are key details.
Times of India who sound like you're whining about being dead broke.
National review.
National review.
Mehmet Piger with a net asset value of 10.5 billion in 2024.
DGG world.
Nepo baby disowns millionaire father to prove.
DC, we just went through the gamut.
We went through literally people deliberately lying, okay?
We went through people deliberately lying, sex, past, in a DGG world, okay?
Ethan Klein, the national review, a right-wing operation, of course.
And then a bunch of AI articles from the times of India.
That's how it works.
Which paid Terrence O'Brien to reach out to my manager and set up an interview and then
what?
Yeah, all you have to do is make a blog, Reddit post that makes a very specific statement.
It was some SEO, that very specific statement, that very specific result will bubble to the
the top of the results and be parsed by Gemini, thus becoming truth.
Now, of course, what's ironic is like, even if even if that fake information was real,
I don't know what that changes about my worldview.
My worldview is my own.
Who gives a fuck what my father's positions are on anything?
You don't just, you know, there is no epigenetic memories.
But that's besides the point.
I'd a short article to a company and news sites like the Verge also pay for errors in
emissions insurance in case Terrence said something erroneous that would damage my career.
And they pay for this with subscriptions and ad revenue.
But Google said, eh, we don't feel like paying that rider for any of the other shit, but
we do want that ad revenue.
So we'll just have a thought scan the information in the article and then prioritize a regurgitation
of it ahead of the actual link, and if we make a completely insane mistake that no
reporter would actually make, then we'll shrug and say, we didn't do it, it's AI.
That's exactly what they do with image generators.
Why take photos when you can make money from other people's photography?
Why bother paying a musician royalties when you can just scan their music and sell regurgitated
versions of it?
Why license a book and pay a writer when you can just regurgitate the text inside the book?
And at the same time as this happens, the same government and justice department that
literally imprisons people for sharing music files,
classifies critique of generative AI as anti-tech extremism in the most recent
U.S. counterterrorism report. When news organizations, software companies,
record labels, or any type of IP-based business lose enough revenue to AI theft,
then they'll have to lay off the workers who created the IP,
and then they'll be incentivized to integrate AI into their company to keep things going.
And if all goes to plan, then across the board, your devices will fully use AI to
summarize and organize articles written by or assisted by AI. And the data center is required
for this transition even after inflation adjustment exceed the cost of building America's railroads
and highways. According to Forbes by 2030 the cost for this expansion will exceed $1.7 trillion.
This is an amount of burned cash and investment unlike anything any economy has ever experienced.
It's far more than the estimated cost to permanently end world hunger. It is then
on the other end of this transition when you cannot access media or information without
without their infrastructure, that you will be required to chip in and pay the debts.
It is then when tech will have done to intellectual property what private equity firms have done
to Toys R Us.
This isn't my wild theory.
That's literally the pitch.
These companies are openly scaling AI to 100% adoption.
That's why the investment keeps coming and the largest bubble in history hasn't popped.
Believe it or not, part of me supports and is even excited about this nuclear bomb going
off.
I have faith that those fighting for the exploitation of intellectual property will
make people increasingly consider the absurdity of treating 1s and 0s as if they were a tangible
commodity. Oh no, please don't jeopardize Spotify and major labels. They've been so
good to us musicians. Oh my gosh, please don't force society to reinvent how news is shared.
It's been working so well for democracy. Please don't encourage us to create a completely
free and open decentralized internet. What the hell are we going to do without the system
you provided? Just stop playing your games and spend time with our webbed ones? I'm
I'm getting increasingly worried that there is a much more sinister plan in place to deal
with this liberating ideology though.
Stick with me.
If Elon Musk and his entourage of private security pulled up my driveway right now and
he rolled down his window and said, hey, I love your channel style, I'll give you $10
million to make a video about the dangers of transgender culture.
I'd tell him to get the fuck off my property.
This isn't some edgy precedent either.
This same situation plays out with nearly every brand that emails this channel.
I know what I want in life, and I know that I'll be happier not making a video I don't
want to make than I would be with $10 million, but that's a privilege that I've worked extremely
hard for.
But like, what if something happened?
What if I had a child that had cancer and couldn't afford the treatment?
Or what if I was behind on my property taxes and was expecting the county to evict me any
day now?
Well, then my integrity might be more compromisable, and I might swallow my pride and make propaganda
or insincere content for my subscribers.
A really fascinating and important study called Income and Emotional Well-Being, a conflict
resolved, zeros in on the root of this very thing.
These researchers found that money and happiness are closely intertwined, but this usually
flattens out between $60,000 and $90,000 a year.
This also happens to be the average income where a person or family of comparable earners
can turn their income into wealth.
They can own a house, they could start a business, they could save for retirement.
Of course, people in this range still have to work and they would still be affected by
setbacks, but for the most part they've escaped complete financial control.
They can afford to take the risk of reporting sexual harassment, or they could start a union
without the immediate threat of being homeless if they're illegally fired as a result.
What's fascinating though is that those making $130,000 per year are generally just as happy
as those making $80,000 per year.
They don't need to be wealthy.
They can live in a small suburban home and have to keep the AC off on a warm day to keep
the power bill down.
drive a mid-range vehicle in each generic cereal, and they're just as happy as the
people who don't have to make those compromises.
It's almost as if economic happiness is defined solely by having just enough income to say
f*** you when you're mistreated.
Each little marble here represents $1 billion, and depending on how the SpaceX IPO goes,
Elon Musk's net worth will land somewhere between $800 billion and $8 trillion, so let's
just say $900 billion.
And this is the total purchasing power of the city of Austin, Texas, and every person
who lives there, $268 billion. This includes everybody's earnings, investments, business
revenue, real estate, and so on.
Now if we were to draw a line representing the point in which Elon Musk's purchasing
power dipped below the amount he needed to live a comfortable life, we would quite literally
need to use a microscope on a single marble. But if we go by that study that I mentioned
earlier, versus Austin's GDP per capita, that line for the combined people in Austin
is right here.
purchasing power suddenly dropped below this level, the average family would not be able
to accumulate wealth.
Their life in Austin, Texas would be spent working from paycheck to paycheck, hoping
for some sort of windfall or miracle to get them past the vicious cycle of death.
So this, combined with having enough purchasing power to eclipse a major city you live in,
creates a completely different mechanism of wealth.
Whether it's a company or an absurdly wealthy individual, when a single actor's purchasing
power is comparable to entire communities, it is more valuable to them to remove billions
of dollars from here than it is to add billions of dollars to here.
All of a sudden, some of the confusing and chaotic things that are happening in the world
start to make sense.
Capitalism doesn't work without growth.
That is in its core definition, whether it's the industrial revolution or agrarianism or
a crack deal.
Here's a question that I've been screaming for years, and have not once seen it asked
on any debates or news channels.
Why the f**k would so many capitalists support closed borders and contribute to political
campaigns that lower the population?
Even if they were evil Mr. Byrne-style capitalists, wouldn't they want underpaid Latin Americans
mining steel and aluminum and then going home and buying more groceries and prescription
drugs without insurance and renting their private equity-owned apartments?
I really want to believe that so many conservatives and fake libertarian billionaires are so weirdly
racist that it�s� I�m gonna ban you for one second for asking
can we pin the video when the video�s already pinned.
Somehow conflicts with and defeats every capitalist principle that define their entire wives.
I want to believe that Trump and Elon and Peter Thiel and Bill Ackman are stupid and
the ruling class is somehow exclusively filled with morons who failed upwards over and over
and over again.
I want to believe it because it awards me a lot of social credit to do so.
I want to believe it because it allows me to roll my eyes at the last two decades.
I want to believe that in 20 years we'll point to this page in our history books as
the stupid wild ride that we can't believe actually happened.
But I don't actually believe that because it makes way more sense that they're using
xenophobia as a scapegoat to create a labor and supply shortage that forces a middle class
to pay twice as much for products using these materials.
I want to believe that things will go back to normal at some point, but I don't think
that they will.
that four out of five of the wealthiest people in the world attended the presidential inauguration,
and the fifth, Larry Ellison, was in the White House the following day.
Or consider that the wealthiest person in history spent nearly 300 million dollars on
the presidential election, illegally paying between 47 dollars and 100 dollars to people
who promised to register to vote in swing states.
He then selected right-wing registered voters at random and awarded them with one million
dollar checks.
Then the wealthiest person in history equipped with zero minutes of government manjury experience
Go!
Perhaps she heard of it, perhaps.
This was given his own government department that fired hundreds of thousands of government
employees, terminated 15,000 grants, and gutted the Department of Human Services.
The administration then terminated the food stamp benefits of 4.3 million Americans and
expanded work requirements to people over 55 years of age.
And all of the money we saved from this is eclipsed by the amount of our tax dollars
that were spent on ICE, Border Patrol, and a rapid expansion of mass government surveillance.
In fact, just from the first three months of our involvement in the Iran conflict, the
economic impact on the American economy is actually higher than what the entire country
pays for food assistance programs for the entire year.
So most people's retirement savings and 401Ks are in things like passive index funds and
ETFs.
And passive index funds are traditionally safe conservative investments for people who
like dying on a mattress more than they like gambling.
very mainstream and diversified and they don't rely on an investment manager to make decisions.
Instead, they rely on benchmarks. In fact, they're legally required to buy mainstream stocks listed
on the NASDAQ 100 to diversify investments and reduce human error. So the NASDAQ 100, or NDX,
has historically had a strict index methodology to try and prevent fraud. So for example, if you
had a startup and you wanted to bring it public and have it listed on the NASDAQ 100, you would
have to go through a mandatory three month seasoning period so your stock could shake out
early speculators and get closer to its actual value on the market. And if you're like most people
and you don't know how the ins and outs of how an initial public offering or IPO works,
let's just dig into that for one second for some context. So before a company launches an IPO on an
index like the NASDAQ, they have an underwriter, which is usually a large investment bank like
Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley. IPOs tend to be a bit volatile and chaotic. And so if that stock
launches and things aren't going so well, an underwriter will buy shares at a higher value to
to create an artificial floor to keep it from crashing.
Doing this is really risky
and propping up a company's entire public market cap
for a period of three months or more
could be extremely detrimental to the underwriter.
Well, with the SpaceX IPO launching
at an unheard of $2 trillion valuation,
last month, the NASDAQ 100 changed
this three month safety period to 15 days.
This means, literally, that on July 6th, 2026,
your passive index funds will be contractually required
to start spending your savings on buying up massive blocks
of SpaceX stock to track the index.
And then when your 401k is forced to buy up
this brand new stock that may be artificially
propped up by underwriters,
the siphoning of your life savings may commence.
So how's that for a real world example
of leverage being used to rob you blind?
In 2020, the average monthly rent in the United States
was $1,185.
Now it's $1,700.
The consumer price index for groceries
was $254 in 2020.
even during the massive supply chain shortage at the time.
Now it's $320.
In 2020, Americans paid an average of 13 cents per kilowatt
hour for electricity.
Now we're paying 20 cents.
If your 401K had $100,000 in a safe, stable,
bond-oriented investment plan in 2020,
you may have seen a whopping 25% gain.
But after inflation, your spending power right now
is $96,830, and that's before taxes.
The point is, if you're judging wealth by purchasing power,
then you're likely working harder and earning more while getting poorer.
Every single time you look at the news, when you come across yet another story that perplexes
you or makes you wonder how the most powerful people in the world could consistently make
such terrible decisions, it's worth asking yourself, will this directly or indirectly
contribute to me working my entire life only to be left with just enough money to die on
a mattress?
Because for those of my viewers who are lucky enough to have accumulated some form of wealth,
Even if it's your 401k or a house that you're still paying off, once you see this pattern,
you can't stop noticing that the majority of policies or change that's been made by
the government in the last decade create a new pathway to siphon that wealth from you.
The paranoid conspiracy theory that I cannot get out of my head is that this isn't happening
to steal your money.
It's happening to steal your autonomy.
When you combine all of this with the enormous amount of money-
No, it's not-
Okay, it's not even a joke.
He literally, he identified finance capitalism from first principles.
It's like, he's like, it's like a Michael Hudson book.
Wait till he hears conclusion.
Oh, no.
hours paying for unprecedented levels of government surveillance, how much more will
it take to make you too vulnerable to fight back when you're mistreated?
How much more will it take to make you feel like your family's survival is at risk when
you attend a protest?
At what point will you feel weary to attend a city hall meeting to voice opposition to
a proposed data center?
Or to make you scared to tell a joke about the president?
Or even comment on videos like this one or share it on your social media?
How far are we right now, from the point in time when you will feel like you can't afford
the risk or potential punishment for voting to replace your elected leaders?
I once read a book that I expected to be really corny, the top five regrets of the
dying.
It was written by Brony Ware, who was a hospice nurse who spent years talking to people at
the end of their lives.
The most common regret from people who knew that their lives were about to end and they
were about to leave this world.
I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true.
Yeah.
I thought, I thought the answer was grind harder.
Tip my landlord bigger sums of money.
Increase shareholder value further.
Rude of myself, not the life others expected of me.
To put it more bluntly, when you are at your wisest equipped with the most memories and
in the most context, looking back at every single thing that you've experienced in your
entire life, you will not give a f**k about a single statistic in this video.
And what you will regret is spending a single second of your life concerning yourself with
it.
Circling back to where this started, the things I've mentioned in this video make me miss
the capitalism I grew up with, but contrary to that, they highlight the core problem that
is seemingly always coupled with capitalism itself.
And that's existing or being forced to exist in a constant state where you are valuing
yourself by your earnings and belongings, and doing so in a way that is unfairly asymmetrical.
There's simply no denying that capitalism creates a world where a deadbeat dad with
a trust fund is respected more than a single parent who works two low-wage jobs to provide
for their family.
Before to think about it logistically, the asset that everybody should be hoarding and
protecting the most is time.
And I don't mean this in the time is money sense.
something that happens in your forties, but if I order something and it requires four hours of
my life to assemble it, I'm just sending it back. Like sure, this cabinet looks really nice and it's
worth the $250 that I paid for it, but I want to play guitar or look at stuff under the microscope
for four hours more than I want a nice looking cabinet. And then you just realize that it's all
ironically coming back full circle. Like 30 years ago, if my grandfather ordered a new coffee table
and a little thin, heavy box showed up with a 22-page assembly manual, he would absolutely lose
his shit. That kind of thing would be absolutely unacceptable to consumers in the 1980s. In
fact, it would be seen as such an egregious scam that it would be on the evening news.
This time theft isn't just some annoyance that old men bitch about in their yards. In
economics and sociology, its clinical name is shadow work. It describes the uncompensated
and unpaid labor that the ruling class have quietly outsourced to the consumer under the
guise of convenience or innovation. In a classic market, you've exchanged money so somebody
else could spend their time processing a service for you. The post-capitalist mechanism works
by charging you the full price and forcing you to act as an unpaid employee.
Also, at some point we have to admit that this is our own fault.
We drove to Ikea and picked out the bedroom set and then searched the warehouse for the
parcel number and then lifted the boxes and rented the truck to transport them and then
assembled the furniture in our own homes with our own tools.
Instead of laughing at the very proposal of being expected to do all these things on our
own free time without compensation, we felt like it could save us a few bucks.
And we were greedy about the wrong thing.
We were greedy about the thing that wildly changes value without our control.
the thing that is controlled by people who don't care about us, but who repeatedly throughout
history time and time again break our social contracts with them.
Perhaps the thing that Franklin D. Roosevelt didn't account for nor could have predicted
when he drew a map to make capitalism work for everybody was this inevitable phenomenon.
Whether you're working three jobs at the same time just to keep the lights on or literally
the wealthiest person in the history of civilization, it seems like capitalism's flaw is a very
abstract one.
It robs us of the ability to prioritize the appreciation of living.
Let me tell you about this video's sponsor.
Okay, that was, uh, I mean, fine, good message at the end, sure.
I mean, this is a very good video.
Um, this is a very good video.
Also, there's no sponsor.
It's a bit.
Wouldn't this be like the most amazing time to do an ad read for an app-based high-interest
savings account or some bullshit.
Unfortunately, making videos like this
tends to cost a lot of money,
and traditionally getting money requires
one to spend time doing things that they don't wanna do,
and while I do have to do that from time to time,
in this case, I don't have to do that
because fortunately, this video is sponsored by you,
my viewers.
I don't one man band in videos like this,
but this channel not only produces YouTube videos,
but this year I'm actively getting involved
in using my knowledge and resources
to help political campaigns that are willing
to push back against things like mass surveillance
and the rapid expansion of data centers.
And we're off to a great start,
And I think it's making a big difference in how these things will play out

Banger that mentions you in the end.
He's a leftist.
What is this?
This is fucking two hours long. Where is the it's a two hour long disco Elysium video? I love disco Elysium
It's not we're not watching this though. That's crazy
What is it? What what is the mention? I still never get over how much you tried to harass even watching it only to admit
It was a trap that what that didn't work
We're going to watch Boy Boy as well.
Yep, I'll be listening to Quentin's vids while doing my girl showers.
What do you mean?
What's, isn't a girl shower like super fast?
How can you do a girl shower that is like...
Yes, we're gonna watch boy boy as well boy boy fucking view mugged me boy boy made a Cuba video that's such a banger and it's much longer than mine
I'm always and it's much better than mine. He fucking mobs me. Okay. He mobs me. I miss them so much, dude. I actually
No homo I miss them a lot especially because it's July 4th and
If you guys remember
July 4th is usually when these guys are here
and you know we're supposed to be drinking and celebrating America together
no offense but I thought you were ignoring it because you were jealous
wait what why would I dude what are you talking about I love boy boy
are you insane
That's my real-life friend. What the fuck oh?
But yeah, no, I I miss them a lot
and
It sucks that we didn't actually hang out in Cuba together because he
He he boated to Cuba and I left by the time he got to Cuba
I'm not clicking on that the Macy is and you be y'all are ops of mine, even though you are
Wonderful members of the community, okay
Reunion China has to happen you are in this video for 20 frames. Wait, what why the fuck would I be in this video?
Anyway, whatever it doesn't matter. Um
Let's do Ben Shapiro and then I'll do
Cuba
all over now. I'm not, I'm not even kidding. I'm a little worried that because the UK banned
me, I'm worried that the Commonwealth is going to do the same. And I plan on going
Australia in the upcoming year. A girl showers hours long or wash her hair, shave her whole
entire bodies exfoliate and wash our face and every crevice gosh us on have you ever
talked to a woman oh that's the girl shower it's the opposite it's not short it's wrong
I can't help but notice that the online world has become increasingly intertwined with mainstream
politics lately you will be in the not too distant future running for political office
And you have my complete and total interest!
Influencers who once had nothing to do with such polarizing issues
have since flung themselves headfirst into the most contentious political matters of the day.
Whether driven by clout or by ideological purposes,
the fact is, more and more influencers are beginning to play a larger role in the events that shape our history.
I wanna thank the Noteboys, Aiden Ross, um, uh, uh, Theo Vaughn.
If you had told me five years ago that Kyle and Stiney of the Nelk Boys would have had a hand in whitewashing a genocide by granting a war criminal a softball interview on their Happy Dads sponsored podcast, I probably would have had some kind of severe medical episode.
I mean, even now it's hard to comprehend that being a real thing that happened.
Burger King, I like Burger King more.
What's your go to at McDonald's?
No, I'll take Burger King.
We did the double in a-
Lobster?
I haven't ripped Burger King off of it.
Burger King kinda sucks.
Yeah.
The big guy lounge can hit it.
I disagree completely.
You like Burger King over McDonald's?
That's your worst take I think.
Absolutely.
That's a crazy take.
Such a hard hitting journalism from the same guy
who's right here.
Nelth picking up hot girls in Miami
and taking a virgin to the club
because as refreshing as it might sound
to have more people engage directly with the governments and policies that shape our existence.
I can't help but think we're sort of being led down the road to hell by some of the least
qualified grifters to walk the planet.
You open a meta to do research or read articles on Twitter, happy and shamelessly tell others
to read more.
I don't need to understand whatever article you want me to read.
This is one of the most goaded Asmongole closures I don't need to read bro.
I know everything.
I don't need to read your little special book or your Wikipedia article or anything
else besides that.
None of that stuff matters.
Yeah, somehow one of the largest political commentators on Twitch, by the way, that's
not discouraging or terrifying at all, is it?
Wash hands?
Why don't you shut the f*** up?
I washed my hands three weeks ago.
Yeah, I'm fine.
What are you talking about wash my hands for?
The idea that an official Twitter account of the U.S. military would be using words
like low cortisol and a lethality maxing just weeks before launching a regional war in the
Middle East is a bone-chilling reality, but it's the one we're living in.
Awesome.
The political landscape is shifting underneath us as we speak, which can come with serious
consequences, especially as online punditry moves further into the extreme.
Women are made to be f***ed literally.
That is what it is.
Women are either mothers, whores or nuns.
No other options.
Last time I was in Korea I was tired of them pretending they were not Chinese.
You're all slanty-eyed.
You're all f***ing Chinese.
Japan, Korea, Soft, Korea, Korea.
We've talked a lot about these guys.
We've talked a lot about these guys.
We've talked a lot about these guys.
The Lose Ensemble of KickStreets.
We've talked a lot on this channel about these guys.
the loose ensemble of kick streamers and other online provocateurs
assuring in a new era of reactionary politics
united not by a single outward ideology
but by a shared desire to build and maintain a personal brand.
In their quest to create viral moments that keep themselves at the top of everyone's feeds,
they've increasingly resorted to saying and doing more unhinged things.
These guys are mostly funded by their audiences,
meaning they're far less dependent on advertisers than traditional mainstream personalities and
have little to no insight. Brian Kilmej has called you a champagne socialist on Fox 250.
That's amazing. Rather a champagne socialist than champagne fascist like Brian is.
is. Yeah, I'm Brian, kill me. I'm Brian, kill me. I'm Brian, kill me. I'm Brian, kill
me. Dan told me he now was a guest list Northern line for one of their shows coming up in
the winter. We got a we're gonna fly out in fangirl and hype mug him Northern line. Brian,
kill me. No, I didn't. I don't even know if I'm allowed back into Canada. So dog, it sounded
like you said that with a pinky out. Northern line moxie every day. I mean, I can, I can
hype Mogam though, like Dan Beckner did. Why are they talking about you on the special
occasion is this is the track from the event being being postponed. Yeah, it's pretty crazy
that uh, Brian kill me is talking about me on the fucking America's 250th birthday on
the patriotic channel. Man, these guys have a lot of fucking angst, I guess. All right, let's get back to
let's get back to Benny. Timber their rhetoric. I'm Candice Owens biological mom and she is
is my biological son, and we're gonna get married.
Moreover, the billionaires who keep the lights on at kick and rumble are hardly interested
in reigning in the wild rhetoric, so long as it continues to generate traffic.
After all, much of their appeal stems from a perceived willingness to speak their minds,
supposedly moral commitment to tell it like it is, which of course only opens the door
for more controversial moments, more clicks, more attention, and more money.
Rinse and repeat. This less organized, less restrained, and in some cases,
less explicitly political band of influencers with their fingers on the pulse of online culture
and a younger, more energetic fanbase at their disposal has set fire to the old guard of
mainstream conservatism. And perhaps no organization better embodies that old guard
than the Daily Wire and its most recognizable figure, Ben Shapiro.
Since about 2016, Ben Shapiro has been a dominant force in the conservative ecosystem,
traveling around the country, owning every woke, blue-haired, college liberal that
dared challenges intellect. Or, bentelected. Does that work? I don't know.
In 2017, The New York Times bestowed upon Ben Shapiro the title of provocative gladiator,
A conservative wonder kid with grinding mechanical intelligence, as put by The Week in 2018.
Gosh, what were people on, man?
Ben quickly rose to prominence as a right-wing firebrand during Trump 1.0,
before gliding off the right-wing outrage machine most potent during the Biden administration,
expanding his reach and making money hand over fist, even as recently as 2023,
when the Daily Wire finished out that year with a profit of more than $200 million in
top-line revenue. For all intents and purposes, Ben Shapiro's media-
You will never convince me that this wasn't base boosted by billionaires, by the way.
I will never believe that. Okay, I think all conservative media properties are straight up
getting money funneled on the revenue side. That looks as though it's just like individual
subscriptions and donations and whatnot, but it's actually coming straight up from billionaire
donations. What is this? Hassan discovers Quintin reviews. And this is my
favorite thing to have it on stream in a while. Hassan complaining about Quintin's
long videos, only to realize his own reaction to the context puke was nine
10 hours long.
Empire was poised for unprecedented growth.
Remember when PewDiePie had him on meme review?
Yes, I do remember.
God.
God, it was so ass.
God, the internet was so ass.
And then there was like a brief moment of solace, but it was still ass because the wokes
were too woke.
And then, which I much prefer to the current situation, and now it's so much worse.
But today, those prospects look a little different.
One glance at Ben Shapiro's 7 million subscribers.
Gonna girl-shower to this stream right now, hell yeah.
channel will tell you that Ben has seen some better days. Some much better days. The Washington
Post just reported in May that Ben's views have plunged nearly 70% since the end of 2024,
triggering a wave of mass layoffs amidst the inner turmoil. A Daily Wire spokesperson, Brad
Bishop, told the Post they had to cut 13% of their employees since the beginning of this year alone,
which comes after a previous round of layoffs the company was forced to enact last year,
shortly after their co-founder Jeremy Boring stepped down as CEO.
Now they've even lost the guy who replaced him,
meaning the future of the company is now less certain than ever.
This also comes as Ben's former friends and allies are running circles around him.
He now finds himself outpaced by the likes of Tucker Carlson,
Megan Kelly, and even his former acolyte Candace Owens, who continues to siphon views from her
one-time employer, making for a particularly personal thorn in the daily wire side of-
Do I have your consent to girl shower to your gym pigs king? Okay, now it feels like you're not
girl showering. Now you- it feels like you're saying something else, which is definitely confusing me
about Girl Shower.
Unlike Conservative Ecosystem is changing rapidly, and if Ben can't turn things around
soon he may just become a has-been.
You get it?
Because Ben?
You get it?
I mean, some of these videos have less than 20k views.
The man is having to play Fortnite and react to TikToks for God's sake.
He is paying to run full broadcasts of his show as a pre-roll advertisements on other
videos.
hoping that the viewer just falls asleep and watches the whole thing on accident, I guess?
Not sure that's a winning business strategy long term, but do you do, Ben?
I've contemplated the video on Ben Shapiro for years at this point.
It's not like he hasn't given me a potentially endless trove of content to latch onto and
attack, but as Cody Johnston said a few months ago in his video, we're at a point now where
this might be the last time Ben Shapiro is even relevant enough to talk about.
predicament is a very real one and I think it's worth examining how he went from such a rising
star to a complete dud in a little under a decade. I think it speaks to the wider conservative
movement that in the world of Republican politics, so-called principles aren't gonna get you as far
as simply reading the room. Looking through this lens, Ben Shapiro's demise seems all but inevitable
and I hope this video can serve as a cathartic look back on one of the most putrid careers of
of one of the most repulsive men on the internet.
Join me for the unprecedented rise
and satisfying fall of Ben Shapiro.
But first, I wanna talk to you about today's sponsor,
NoCD.
NoCD is one of my absolute favorite companies to work with
because it gives me a chance to talk about something
that for too many years,
I felt I couldn't talk about it all, honestly.
And that's been my experience with OCD.
I've had it for about as long as I can remember,
even back when I didn't know what it was,
I had already become painfully aware of the symptoms and had grown accustomed to feeling
trapped by my compulsive.
Ethical reacts, man.
Ethical reacts.
And he's talking about his OCD.
It can be hard to describe OCD to someone who's never had to deal with it, but I remember
being in sixth grade feeling like I had to obsessively wash my hands over and over again
until my anxious feelings went away.
I would force myself to think of quote unquote good thoughts whenever I take a test or else
I convinced myself that I would fail.
I would have to touch every light switch of every room I entered, or else I felt like I would lose someone I cared about.
Obviously, there was never any real connection between my anxiety and these rituals.
Doing them wasn't going to change the outcome of something, and I knew that,
but there was still this part of me that said I had to carry them out in order to feel okay.
And sure, giving into them would help for a little bit, until there was another one I had to do.
Then another one. Then another one.
It was just a constant in my life for way too long.
All these extremely rigid rituals began to consume me.
It felt like I was being truly controlled and trapped
by my compulsions until I found NoCD.
NoCD is the world's leading train of provider for NoCD.
All of their licensed therapists
expect them to be the best experts in NoCD,
so they know exactly-
Wait, did you ERP?
Exactly what to look for and how to help.
The lessons and tools my NoCD therapist taught me
always ring loud in my ear
every time I'm about to give in to a compulsion.
They made me feel heard
and I can't tell you how much of a relief it was
to actually speak with a trained professional
whose job it is to listen to my experiences.
It will always benefit you to reach out and get help
and I can tell you personally that NoCD is here for you.
Their therapy is 100% virtual and covered by insurance
for over 138 million Americans.
It also includes support between sessions
so you never have to face OCD alone.

Huge thanks to NoCD for sponsoring,
and now back to Ben.
Benjamin Aaron Shapiro was brought into the world
at the height of the Reagan era on January 15th, 1984.
Growing up with three sisters
and raised by deep red Reagan Republicans
at a predominantly liberal city of Burbank, California.
Ben's parents both enjoyed Korea.
Literally, violinists.
Father is a father's violinist.
Ben's a violinist.
He is just like, he is a liberal in every way, shape and form,
except he just chose to be a conservative.
Here's in the field of entertainment,
his mother being a top executive at a television company
with his father, David, working as a composer,
Meaning that even from a young age, Ben had a healthy exposure to the arts.
He was described as a child prodigy by Spectator in 2018,
skilled in both violin and piano.
Which you can judge for yourself by watching his appearance at the Israeli Bonds Banquet in 1996.
Benjamin Shapiro is 12 years old. He will play for us the theme from Schindler's List.
Ladies and gentlemen, Benjamin Shapiro.
It's almost kind of sweet to see a young Ben Shapiro so passionate about something
that doesn't completely suck and make people's lives worse.
You know, if you ignore the glaring fact that this performance was done to benefit a fascist
ethno-state, of course, but if we know anything about Ben Shapiro, it's that his love of
artistic expression has never once faded as he's continued to sharpen and refine his
musical chops over the years.
Kinda makes me wish he had just steered clear of politics altogether and gone there out
of a musician.
A classical musician, okay?
Not whatever the fuck this is.
Listen to this dance.
But if the streak of creativity ran through Ben, so did a sense of unwavering patriotism.
So much so that he had dressed up as John Adams every year for Halloween since the age
of five.
Oh my god, okay nevermind take it back. He was fucking unbearable from the start dude
And and John Adams is dope I'm just saying that like
Doing that as a five-year-old you're you are a turbo dork, okay?
It was already predestined that he was always gonna be a fucking dweeb
Clinical discussions around the dinner table were far from uncommon in the Shapiro household,
as David made sure that Ben, along with his sisters, were sufficiently engaged with the
pressing matters of the day.
But that doesn't mean Ben Shapiro always wanted to pursue a career in politics.
Anyone who's seen his questionable takes on the Barbie movie or one battle after another
knows that aside from music, Ben has long displayed a passion for film and television.
I like his mug. Did you see his?
It also kind of doesn't make sense. John Adams being your founder, that you're like your preferable
founder, does not make sense with his current modern political framework.
Interesting.
Because he like John, John's objectively one of the most woke.
So like, how did that happen?
You know what I mean?
Ben hasn't been very good at actually understanding people from history, yeah, I guess true.
Mug? His mug is funny. Did you see the mug he's carrying there? It says, oh, for Fox's sake.
That is what the mug says.
Which makes sense. Not only do his parents come from Hollywood, but Ben's cousin is
actress Mara Wilson, who, as a child, literally disowned him, by the way, so don't hold that
against their actively dunks on, actively dunks on Ben.
Hard in such films as Matilda, Mrs. Doubtfire, Miracle on 34th Street. It grabs the film
that most resonated with me as a child, Thomas in the Magic Railroad, is Pete, honestly.
Of course, it's worth noting that Ben and Mara aren't exactly on speaking terms these
days, well, with her political convictions being the polar opposite of his, but if you
look closely at Ben Shapiro's career, you may just find a thinly veiled desire to follow
in the footsteps of so many of his family members. Take, for example, this particularly
cringe for the interview he gave in 2011.
Oh my god, Jabri's going back to the, oh, this is one of my favorite interviews where
he just like straight up gets dunked on by this lady who's like, well don't you think
you're writing a shit and that's why you couldn't make it in Hollywood?
Maybe it's not, maybe it has nothing to do with your conservative views.
While promoting his fourth book, Primetime Propaganda, the true Hollywood story of how
the left took over your TV, wow, very subtle title there, Ben.
I wonder what the book could be about. Connie Martinson, it brings up a time in Ben's life where he had been asked to write a TV series that Ben describes as a mix of comedy.
Ben didn't show up.
This is the entire extended family. I'm good friends with his knees and no embarrassing facts about him. Ben didn't show up to his grandma's 100th birthday or her funeral,
which I assume shortly followed the 100th birthday, like the way you presented that.
that's crazy though and drama was that comedy was it sitcom chat you made it
seem like a chatter you made it seem like it was the same party was it drama
is not a dramedy it was based on Harvard Law School is a dramedy I've written a
couple comedies kind of hour-long dramedies for you know spec script and
have they been bought I know because they didn't know and then there are a couple
reasons for that.
Uh, no, okay.
So what do you think was the reason, Ben?
One is that it's hard to sell anything in this town.
Yeah, thank you.
Period.
You know, regardless of political viewpoint.
And the other is that, you know, and especially a breakout series right from the get-go, right?
I mean, it's hard to sell a spec script.
He starts a baby writer.
I mean, you know the process.
Yeah.
And the one thing above all that Hollywood does right now that is utterly despicable
is that they keep people who are not of their political ______ out of the business period
and of story.
It may not have expected this to be a confrontational interview, but Connie certainly doesn't back
down in asserting what we're probably all thinking, the Ben Shapiro and others.
I know what I'm thinking, Hollywood is anti-semitic, and I'm not afraid to say it.
Her conservatives aren't kept out of the writer's room for being conservative, they're
kept out for being unfunny.
She even cites her husband, a conservative who found success in Hollywood as a prime
example of this.
I find that a little hard to believe because look at the tape.
Well, I'd like to see the tape only because my husband, who's a
conservative, was a very famous director at a certain point.
And I just try to think of being Democrat or Republican or whatever.
Very rarely came into the conversation.
Well, I mean, I will say we were cleared by the FBI.
They then take a bit of a detour into a wider debate about
conservatives advocating against abortion, but then failing to provide child-friendly
social services once they've left the womb. A conversation that we are remarkably still
having today. I do know, having talked with some of the
ultra-conservatives, that they are very concerned, as you said, about anti-abortion, but they
don't care about schooling. Where the government would commit, there is definitely no action.
I mean, they seem to be kind of separate issues to me.
I mean, you can be for the not killing of fetuses or babies, you know, dependent and
also before.
Oh, back then when he didn't have, back then he, he didn't have the messaging discipline.
He accidentally said fetuses and then corrected him.
So I said, I mean, baby, I mean babies, woke classic, classic.
This is just like when he, there's like a compilation out there of Ben Shapiro, like
accidentally correctly mis-rendering trans women over and over again, only to stop himself
and then misgender them deliberately.
Less government intervention and education, we're spending a ton of money on education.
Our education has been consistently worse every year for the last 50.
So the correlation between government spending and better levels of education is completely
misplaced.
Well, I was saying in terms of the free food, lunch for kids who don't have food at home.
Anyhow, let's get back to television.
They spar some more over the politics of shows like All in the Family and M.A.S.H.
Ben suggests that Hollywood was much more moderate in the 50s and 60s before the sinister
turn of events becoming liberal sometime in the 1970s as if it were some carefully coordinated
conspiracy or something.
And not just a reflection of where the country was politically at that time.
But I think it's fascinating that Ben essentially admits here that he had tried to get at the
television show off the ground at one point only to be turned away because in his words his politics
were too unsavory for hollywood now what i wouldn't give to actually read any of what he wrote for
that tv show that never made it to production but i think there's ample of yeah ben Shapiro being a
orthodox jew whose anti-abortion also makes no sense he is so christ cucked it's not even funny
Like, buddy, why are you anti-abortion?
Why are you so Christ-cocked?
This makes no sense.
It's not even a part of your religion.
The Conservatives have been able to find work in Hollywood, assuming they're actually good
in what they do.
I mean, just that year alone, Norm MacDonald was able to launch a new show on Comedy Central.
And it's not like Norm had ever been shy about his political leanings.
He was just talented regardless, and therefore was able to have a long and fruitful career
in entertainment. Even to this day, he is highly regarded by industry leaders across the board,
despite being a longtime conservative. I'm just highly, highly skeptical of Ben Shapiro's theory
here. The conservatives were being turned away en masse on account of their political convictions
alone, and that his attempts to break into the industry failed in any way because of his politics.
Seems to be like more of a convenient excuse for not being more talented.
Hattire refused to believe otherwise until Ben let's us see those amazing dramedy scripts,
he wrote. Release the Shapiro cut, Ben. The world needs it.
But not everybody disagreed with the central argument of Ben's book.
Turns out, there were a few key men living around Los Angeles at the time who felt similarly
dejected by liberal Hollywood elites.
One was a fringe producer by the name of Jeremy Boring, perhaps best known in the words of
Vanity Fair for helping to produce Etienne, a buddy movie about a dying dwarf hamster.
Yeah, I think I speak for everyone when I say, we've all seen that one.
What a surprise you to learn that it's now found a home on Toobie.
Wait, hang on, the rating is what exactly?
They're moving out west from a small town in Texas,
looking up at it.
and became friends with star of the TV show, Chuck,
the titular character in the DC franchise, Shazam,
and esteemed Fortnite Friday guest, Zachary Levi.
We would accompany to the Chuck set during the late 2000s.
Boring told Vanity Fair of one non-set exchange
that always stuck with him.
One day, I walked into the stereo
and a very well-known actress,
who was one of the stars of that show,
stopped me and said, Hey, is that your Bush Cheney bumper sticker on that pickup in the parking lot?
I said, Yeah, yes, man. She said, kid, you've got balls of steel.
Honest truth. That's a real story that happened.
That's a real dude. God, conservatives and perceived victim hood.
Name a better combo, dude. Oh my God.
Oh my god, y'all, we are so persecuted in Hollywood, bro, aww.
Even until that moment, it was completely lost on me.
And just like that, Boring became keenly aware-
Yeah, a well-known actress, and then she fucked me in the car.
And then we high-fived after.
It's a real story.
...or of a silent underbelly of the Hollywood machine.
Conservatives did exist in LA.
They just weren't as vocal as the Liberals may have been.
He soon joined a networking group called Friends of Abe, described by the New York Times as
a collection of perhaps 1500 bright-leaning players in the entertainment industry, which
is where he got to know Andrew Breitbart, the bomb-throwing reactionary founder of Breitbart
News.
Breitbart famously used to say that politics is downstream from culture.
It was sort of his guiding principle when honing attacks on the left.
Breitbart felt that if conservatives could penetrate the world of film, literally just
the opposite of reverse Gramsci, Elma TV and music, they could then mold political consciousness
in their favor.
Perhaps it's no surprise then that Breitbart hired a 28-year-old Ben Shapiro to become
the outlets editor at large in 2012, just weeks ahead of Andrew Breitbart's sudden death
on March 1st of that year.
Replaced by Steve Bannon, the continuation of Andrew Breitbart's legacy was already well underway,
considering it was him who introduced Jeremy Boring to Ben Shapiro a few years earlier.
The two men would go on to start a new site of their own called Truth Revolt in October of 2013,
before founding another website in 2015.
They called it The Daily Wire.
Within just 14 months of bursting onto the scene,
Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boring,
never forget when Ben Shapiro was working at Bright Bar,
Bright Bar had a black crime tab.
As in whenever a black person did a crime,
it would get featured on the Bright Bar black crime tab,
not crime, black crime specifically.
Bishbir later left Breitbart after Breitbart hired, well Steve Bannon hired Milo Annopoulos
to lean into the Gamergate stuff to make gamers even more reactionary, which inevitably led
to the likes of Asmengold. Bishbir left in that period because Milo Annopoulos was outed
is being an anti-Semite and neo-Nazi and Mishapiro thought, well, that's a bridge too far. Which,
ironically enough, is a fun little story about his career as well. Mishapiro has always been
Mr. Anti-Woke, Anti-DEI, except for people who are pro-Israel. And I don't even mean Jews,
even though he does care about anti-Semitism clearly, regardless of the fact that he doesn't care
about any other form of bigotry and is a champion of all different sorts of bigotry.
He clearly found Brightpart's anti-Semitism to be a bridge too far at the time.
You should mention like to call himself the God-King of the website in case you felt like
cringing out of your skin today.
Do you remember when there were two genders and only one and a half of them had to shave
their mustaches?
We're able to boast that the Daily Wire had become cash flow positive nearly a full year
ahead of schedule. They liked to brag that they didn't need any financial backers to do it. But
that's probably, I guess after Ben left and they brought the black crime tab back.
But because their venture had always been propped up by billionaire fracking tycoon Ferris
Wilts, a noted Christian nationalist who fueled the Daily Wire's launch to the tune of $4.7
million as a part of him and his brother Dan's broader mission to, as reported by Ava Kaufman,
not just slash regulations and taxes for the wealthy, but to steer the government toward
Christian rule, seeking to eliminate the distinction between church and state.
While calling itself a truly self-funding business on its website,
The Damley wire addressed its oil-barren ties by desperately arguing that, as of July 2020,
neither Shapiro nor Boring have ever met with Dan Wilkes or received any money from Wilkes Brothers
LLC, which doesn't stop besides the tractors from bragging about how the company is bought and
paid for by the evil fracking Wilkes Brothers. Wilkes Brothers sounding, we guess, like Koch
Brothers and thus more nefarious to leftist media outlets. Oh, well at least you guys clearly aren't
that about it. But you don't let the criticism get to you, clearly, if it's the longest paragraph
of your entire about page. Also, how can you blame anybody for bragging when you are, quite literally,
bought and paid for by at least one Wilkes brother? I mean, it's just the truth. The least you can do
is own it. But what exactly did they do with that generous donation, you ask? Well, at the same time,
they were pumping out article after article on their website. Some of their 2015 headlines
included such gyms as Congressional Democrat, one in five Muslims willing to start jihad
for caliphate.
Democrats love cursing.
Here are the top five leftist potty mouths, and two reasons you shouldn't go back in
time and kill baby Hitler by Bin Shapiro bin.
You're Jewish!
The Daily Wire also developed a presence on YouTube and Facebook during this time.
In fact, if you go to their channel right now and sort by oldest, you'll find a 10-year-old
video of Ben Shapiro chastising then GOP primary candidate Donald Trump as a liar.
So, that's Trump.
Many people forget, but Charlie Kirk was also anti-Trump.
He was first to jump on the Trump train, but he was also, of course, as is the case with
Ben Shapiro and every other one of these operatives, vehemently anti-Trump.
I believe they both liked Ted Cruz more than Trump.
I mean, J.D. Vance was anti-Trump later in the game.
I'm just saying, Candice Oles anti-Trump, Candice Oles pro Obama, which is crazy.
At least the other ones were like conservative still.
They just didn't like Trump because they didn't, yeah.
Trump a big winner, or is he a spoiled brat, grew up in the lap of luxury, had his daddy
sign his checks, and then bragged about how he is a huge winner.
Trump's three biggest crowds are evangelicals, conservatives, and he's a winner of voters.
is lying to all of them. Which might be wild to see today, but back in 2015 when there were still
a seemingly plenty of viable contenders for the Republican nomination, Ben Shapiro and the Daily
Wire were actually fairly critical of the men who would later go on to win the presidency twice
and reshape the Republican Party in his image. The national laws being evacuated right now for
severe weather, shut the fuck up. Wait, is Fox News still there? Hold on, we have to see this.
Fox News is live there, right? Scheduled to end at 10 36 PM with the one and it just it dawns
on me. This must have really been quite the undertaking in planning for not only the fly
over to fucking Omen. What an Omen, Leonard Skinner, Sammy Hagar, others, and then the FIFA
fan area. And then the president followed by what was going to be the most incredible firework
show, possibly making it into the Guinness Book of World Records. So I'm wondering, A,
if you could talk a little bit about what went into the play.
People are pissed. Read the bill, Tweet. And also, as someone who's lived in DC for more
than 30 years, we get storms like this. It gets really hot. No. Evacuation is underway
at Freedom 250 festivities in the National Mall amid severe weather notice. I can see
several attendees refusing to leave the line. Antifa, baby. It's woke left sabotage. That's
right. We put the fucking weather machine up. We put the goddamn weather machine up,
baby. Let's go.
No. Breaking for your safety, please back away from the stage. Now's when a storm approaches
Great American State Fair in Washington DC. No, it's a fucking ghost town. I was gonna
be pissed. No. Breaking the Great American State Fair and FIFA fans on at the national
law have been postponed and are now being cleared out due to inclement weather. People
heading for the exits now. We've seen flashes of lightning and heavy ghosts that went. Heard
one man say we waited in line for three hours. What are we supposed to do? No.
the only thing that's been open and closed more times than the great america state fair
is the straight of hormones haha oh jesus christ
we live in hell now bro my weather station hit 124.5 feels like temperatures today now
flesh-float warnings. Dude, what the fuck? Authorities order the evacuation of attendees
of Washington National Mall doing advanced severe thunderstorms. Come on, man. How are
you in any way, shape, or form an evangelical and not see the symbolism here? This is literally
divine intervention. I'm not even like a, I'm not a spiritual person at all. It's not a
secret. I've talked about it before many times over, right? But like, if I was in any way,
shape, or form, a religious person, a spiritual person, I would look at this and be like,
perhaps I've backed the wrong horse. Perhaps God is currently telling me that this man is a demonic
entity. Don't joke, Sean Hannity's ex-producer is already accusing of geoengineering the weather.
Oh my god
Several hundred people have refused to leave the national modus but in order to evacuate because of severe inclement whether that's approaching
Some are even arguing the secret service ages at one point a crowd of people began running back towards the stage and officers
Certainly repeating the order over a bullhorn and the crowd is booing many have begun chanting USA USA a federal law force
Oh my god, they're gonna do January 6. Oh my god. Oh my god
July 4th will now be a day that lives in infamy just like January 6th wasn't
before this is the first time. Oh that's awesome. Evacuations are underway to get
folks into the Commerce Department other federal buildings due to the threat of
severe weather. Secret Service agents on the ground are saying if the salute to
America event resumes later everyone will have to go through security
screening again. This is awesome. Is this, is this live still? There's no movement.
His fare in DC got shut down because it's too hot when he was greeted by lightning rain
inhale at mount rushmore mother nature hates that man oh true when he was in
mount rushmore it was hailing last paragraph go back one man walking by
blame the situation on liberals on the weather service adding I think this is
baloney okay I think I think the republic should what beast mode just let
them fucking have fun, dude. See how many of them fall in the process.
Currently trying to evade the DC storm by staying in the African American
Museum with 5,000 Trump supporters.
By the way, I am not confident in what that stage or any of these things that they haphazardly
put together.
i'm not confident that it's going to stick around if there's extreme weather
Hey, folks!
Ladies and gentlemen, please back away from this-
Dude, brother, this is awesome.
This is awesome.
This is awesome.
Dude brother, this is awesome. Oh
My god, the storm is here, dude
Get ready Patriots the storm is coming
Crazy this is the only footage when they have finally had more than 50 people dude it is
so fucking funny.
It is divine intervention there's nothing funny to this because like for this has been
going on for a week now, right? And there was literally no one there. There's no one there
for a week. Everyone made fun of it. The stage was falling apart. It was hilarious. Now finally
because the president's coming, there are people, whether they're paid for to be there
They're not, I don't know, but there are people there.
But now they got stormed out.
Yes, the number of people that were in attendance
was marginal and yet even then,
there were plenty of people who were experiencing
serious health complications.
Also, it doesn't look like it's storming to me.
CBS has their own TPUSA style America 250, 543 people watching.
The CBS live stream.
Watch live America 250 birthday celebrations performances of fireworks.
554 people are watching.
And then people try to tell me billionaires make smart investments, bro.
At least Turning Point USA bought their shit.
Zach Brown band's success.
Dude, who the fuck's like, oh, I can't wait to watch the CBS America 250 special.
Like who are the 552?
It's gotta be people that actually are a part of CBS, right?
Like these are the people, the family members of the production,
the people who are back there, you know what I mean?
Their moms are like, oh, maybe I'll see my son back there.
You know, that's like, that's gotta be it, right?
It's fucking awesome. God, what a spectacular failure. Everything.
Everything this administration touches falls apart.
I love it. People booing.
The one L here is that I was looking forward to see Donald Trump deliver a two-hour speech
in 120 degrees weather because I wanted to see what would happen.
In my mind, I thought, for sure, that's not going to be good for him.
He's too old, too fat, too sweaty.
There's just not...
I wanted to see like an experiment.
Like an experiment.
What could happen to someone who's that old who's trying to deliver a speech in that weather,
in that climate?
The correct announcement is that everybody needs to evacuate out to the Afton American
Museum and the other safe areas outside the event sites, now.
I
Crusaders on you are the experiment what ends up happening to a terrorist supporter in the USA
He's got to be boss, right
like he heard one word and he tried to tie it back in his comment.
Yeah, what a fucking, what an amazing point for irony that they have to go to the African American Museum, which Trump has been deliberately trying to gut.
Yeah, half dollar sized hail at Mount Rushmore ahead of Trunks Beach tonight.
Wait, what? What? USS is taking apart, wait, Secret Service taking apart security mags and
everyone's no longer in the security perimeter? Oh, no, they're just, they are, they're taking
them down because they're not going to reopen it probably. Because come on, dude, they take
down the fucking security, the security mags and then they reopen the speech and then,
Oh, lo and behold another ballroom style situation takes place like come on, dude
Ain't no fucking way ain't no fucking way they didn't script is like that
Come on
Save us turbid airy
Patriots have started chanting USAUSA and are attempting to run back into salute America event.
Dude, it's so funny this is not because they're unbelievably patriotic, it's because they've never been told no.
Their whole lives, they're just like, cannot comprehend being told no for anything.
What is this?
I'll call fake looks more like Antifa in costume. No one should be allowed to cover their faces.
It's not Antifa. We have the holiday off. True. Kaya sit. Okay.
Don't shock your dog, no I will.
Bro they should, did you shock the freedom to 50, yeah I shocked the world.
Um, yeah, January 6th, but in July 4th.
July 4th, a day that will live in infamy.
Fox News reporting from the shelters.
We're on the traffic, but we still send them down on individual trips if they can.
We just deserve it. We want them to know how much we appreciate them and what they did all those years.
If somebody wants to donate right now or help you in your cause, what do they do?
They would go to garrisonnewsfoundation.org. We have multiple programs on multiple fronts.
We have all kinds of things there. There's many different ways that you can support them.
Our company, the families, our first responders, all that.
Just go to hereinsteinhearsganvation.org.
You can see a lot of great videos
and look at the program page.
I'm hoping it gets on air for what we see most of it.
I know.
Well, we'll see.
I'll see.
Mother nature, we'll see.
I think it's gonna pass, don't you?
I just want to have a look.
It's gonna pass, I'm not gonna go.
I keep getting complete.
I'm looking at everything, I'm settling in,
I can get my hands on it.
God, he's looking crazy.
He is, I'm not gonna go.
well we're ready either way
uh... said that that you guys
right
unbelievable bread that's so cool i have any like
what you got everybody there
that's really great looks like a party
it's not good
a little bit actually like remember after the white house correspondent
once all the panic settled, everybody was sort of socializing and in this case here, thankfully,
it's just a rainstorm and some bad weather, but they got pulled into the perfect trailer and
they're just making the best of it. And they're socializing with 103-year-old war veterans.
War veterans. A tanker. And we're going to talk about it in France and Germany and all over the
place. And we're asking him, what's the secret to your longevity? And he said, it's my parents.
I had the best parents and they taught me how to live, which was a great answer.
A beautiful moment. We have a lot more America 250 when we come back.
How? What more do you have? You have nothing. What do you mean you have more America 250?
You don't have America 250. It's gone. What could they possibly do now that it's like?
I think.
You know, it's not really because I
didn't want to see that there were going to be better
storms earlier today, but I think I'm hoping
it's a step forward and we'll be able to see
what's best for you here.
Do you think you'll be able to come back?
Yeah, I can do well.
You will?
We'll find something to help.
We'll try to come back.
And where are you visiting from?
Actually, this is our hotel.
You're favorite reporters on the ground at National Mall.
How's it going everyone?
I'm enjoying my 4th of July dinner and party.
I just can't even enjoy a nice dinner without these Trump-hating losers ruining it for me.
They're flying to Palestine flag and that's it.
Do you think he knows how he comes across?
Yeah, I fucking nailed it. I know Char. I'm a Charles downhead dude. I'm a I'm a Charles Debbie downer like I'm a down-ass bitch
That's what we like to call ourselves
I think he's intellectually disabled, so no
What?
busy trying to say I can't even hear what he's trying to say I can't hear her I
can't hear him God we got it Laura give the man a fucking microphone get him a
road mic Laura too busy spending it on dog food they are eating god damn I
want to be able to hear what my man Charles downs as to say
Oh, they don't thought I'm so he's running away.
Oh, Charles Charles get the fuck back there and debate them
Yeah losing a debate you instigate is good content. Yeah, and then he runs away. He's like, all right
All right. That's the last I want to hear from these guys
Oh, no, I think it may be over it's so funny.
The National Guard just like picking up trash and, you know, doing Trump's little 250 event
leaving crowds around, engaging
in arrests around the reflecting
pool.
It's such a funny state of affairs.
Thank you for your service, sir.
Bro fell.
Wait, what?
No, you don't understand. He didn't fall. That's a professional, dude. He's trying to get the right angle. You don't understand. That's a, that's a consummate professional.
Look at that beautiful American blue, American flag blue lawn.
Marks call for the creation of industrial armies that could be deployed where labor
shortages occurred.
MAGA COMMUNISM, BABY!
Yeah, except, Donald Trump destroyed MAGA communist dreams last night when he said you
can either be a communist or a patriot.
You can't be both.
So, ACP on Suicide Watch after last night's events.
Remember?
Whenever these guys love talking about mega communism, there's a brief moment where, you
know, Donald Trump was doing J.D.
Pond, Don, shit, and we happen to know one of their songs and Rachel was like, we should
think for them.
Yeah, absolutely not.
And do you think because everybody that is watching it right now is is starving for the
show?
I think you could sing for the room again and just let us okay, so let's see
If I could get everybody's attention in here
Everybody in the in the lightning shelter. We are gonna have a little bit of music here
And we've got the
Here
David Hamilton, so we have a conductor. This is very this is bro. They can't even make this
They can't even act like this is fun. It's so funny. They're just like
This I think I think this is so bad
Oh my god, this guy's loving it never mind
When I could just leer and touch the sugarpits without anybody getting mad.
Come on, honey, give me a kiss right on the lips.
And what is your name, sir?
What is your name?
Joe Schott, S-T-H-O-T-T.
And what are you doing in here in the lightning shelter tonight?
This is nice ladies.
And there's this first show.
Tell them how old you are.
104 years.
You are 101 years old.
Okay, okay, that's crazy.
Where did you serve, sir?
World War II?
World War II.
What did you serve, sir? World War II?
World War II, US Navy.
A major part of it was at London,
Northern Ireland,
and a naval operating base.
We maintained the escort ships
to the convoys
New York to
Great Britain.
Halifax to Great Britain.
Bro, he's in better shape than Joe Biden.
I'm not even going to lie with you. I'm not going to front.
He is in better shape than Joe Biden.
Upgrade the ships that were to be
in the invasion, extra radio equipment, men were, we worked, we had work, 10 hours a day,
seven days a week, and we had to have our lunch standing up to expedite eating fast.
But I was a lucky guy, and I'm a lucky guy now.
Well, you and the rest of the greatest generation saved the world, and all the generations that
follow are so grateful.
Thank you.
Thank you so much. Thank you very much.
104 years old.
That's... that's nothing.
Goals! Goals are really good.
Yes!
I'm lucky here.
And so here we are.
You know what? While we're in here, I think we want to thank you guys so much.
Yes, thank you.
Let's see who else we can talk to.
Yeah, I never have access to so many thoughts, personalities, and ones.
Yeah, because they evade you.
because they evade you douchey we're live on box right now i hate to do this to you
but your remarks are a little bit delayed but can you share with our audience who are looking
forward to hearing from you what are you talking about me uh just i don't know maybe top done
Hollywood stuff, you know, how Hollywood is at a big impact in military and thin red
line a little bit, I feel like I did.
Well, I will let you get back to waiting out the weather, and we will be watching on stage in a little better.
Thank you guys.
Thank you, Jim.
Nice to meet you.
This is crazy in this lightning shelter. Much more excitement than in the Laura
Ingram. Alright, do you have a minute? Peter Ducey from Vlog News. I always wanted to meet you.
Oh my goodness. What's going on in here? Well, the odd thing about moments like
this, it's like a crisis sort of, and you're meeting great people,
you're meeting legends, World War II legends, and most of all we're remembering
even a difficult moment like this. We love our country and it's America 250.
And it's just, it's a blessing to see you all over Fox.
We're finding out that I'm a better IRL streamer than Steve Ducey.
That's what we're finding out.
He's trying to do a literal fucking IRL stream right now.
Yeah. Ducey, Ducey, you're fucking up dude.
It makes her proud to be an American.
Laura Griff Jenkins wants to know what makes you proud to be an American?
I think what makes me most proud is the sacrifice, the sacrifice of everyone that came before me.
And speaking again with these veterans here today, who are 104, 102, have clarity of mind and thought.
They're so optimistic about the country.
Like if you think these people don't think America is stronger than it's ever been.
What happened to her face? She just always looks like that, I guess.
It's the optimism. It's the love of freedom.
Are they using the same backpack as you? Yes, they are.
Everybody came before us. That's it, I think.
100%. Otherwise, they would have no coverage down there.
I was 98 years old.
Yeah, it looks fabulous. Sharper than, you know, I am, for sure.
Definitely. We're getting wrapped here.
We are getting wrapped.
It's not constant.
Oh, well, they probably, maybe the weather is getting better,
but we'll send it back to the studio for now.
Yeah, thanks, man.
All right, happy fourth, great stuff indeed.
How about that?
I just love seeing them make the most out of a,
you know, not great situation.
We're still getting updates.
Still saying that we're delayed.
The show will go on.
Just gonna be a little bit delayed.
We're gonna have that amazing.
It is?
It's even better if Donald Trump gets to speak to nobody.
Oh my God, new angles.
We already seen this angle.
I already watched this angle.
Oh no, I didn't see this angle, never mind. Dude, he just fucking faceplanted. Wait, what
is this? What is this ballpark? What?
This summer, celebrate 250 years of Freed...
Madison being escorted out of the freedom fair is really megadonor. Miriam Madison was giving VIP
treatment escorted out by security and golf card during freedom 250 weather evacuations
of the ordinary citizens waited and walked for hours to get in and out of the events.
You know that motherfuckers idea. Okay.
Get down madam president. Yeah, that's madam president
They're calling fear and the most useless podcast what
Also, when are we getting Austin to play?
Well, let it be fucking known that I literally said that fear and should play mecha chameleon
I have been this is a thing we don't get enough credit Caroline because it's who of us together
Genuinely give them some of the best content ideas fucking. I said I was down and they're like, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, it got I even got Hassan to say that he would do it and
Suddenly it's Friday and they still haven't done it so
Also, whatever I said, I would do it with the fuck
What do you mean I said I would do it. Surprisingly, Kyle Kuzma is weighing in. This is the corner
of the right that makes the Conservatives look indefensible. Nothing patriotic about
mass white supremacists marching under Confederate flags. Talk about Aryan victory. First of
all. This is the entirety of the conservative movement. Okay. This is how cutie wants you
to talk in the pod.
High School Musical 2 works surprisingly well as a Marxist text. The movie's most Marxist
idea is that class position changes consciousness. Its least Marxist idea is probably that class
conflict can be solved with a talent show. If High School Musical is about class consciousness,
High School Musical 2 is about labor. As the Wildcats join the proletariat, working
summer jobs at the Law of Springs Country Club owned by Sharpey Evans and her family,
the bourgeoisie who controlled the flow of wealth.
Now the solidarity that was established in the first movie is strengthened by the plight
of the workers.
As we see in numbers like Work It Out, they express solidarity and that they can still
have a great summer if they all work together as a team.
I've never watched high school musical, but I'm with it.
But that solidarity is threatened when Sharpey, through her manipulations, elevates Troy
Bolton from proletariat to petty bourgeoisie. Still beholden to the bourgeoisie Evan's
family but no longer in solidarity with his classmates. He no longer has time for Gabriella
and he alienates his teammates by putting them in a position where they have to serve him
and they do not have access to the same opportunities that he does. Marx writes about this type of
change in alienated labor from 1844. Quote, the worker becomes all the poorer, the more wealthy
produces. And goes on to say, the worker therefore only feels himself outside his work and in his
work feels outside himself. Basically, the more time he spends on opportunities provided by the
Evans family, the less time he has with Gabriella, the Wildcats, and his love of basketball and singing.
His plans and dreams begin to feel as if they belong to someone else. Meanwhile,
Ryan has the more radical journey. Sent to spy on the proletariat by Sharpay, Ryan learns that
they're not so different and he actually wants to perform with them. Marx describes this type of
class trader in the Communist Manifesto, quote, a small section of the ruling class cuts itself a
a drift and joins the revolutionary class. Ryan discovers that creativity cannot simply
be purchased. Sharpe has money and sense and costumes. Her performances feel shallow and
often self-promotional. Sharpe commodifies art and performance, specifically her performances,
or as Marx would say, quote, all that is solid melts into air. All that is holy is profaned.
Her numbers have razzled dazzle, but little else. Meanwhile, through spending time with
the Wildcats, Ryan learns that performance is a way to build community and relationships.
Now, of course, a Disney Channel original movie cannot end with the workers seizing the
means of production. Disney has merch to sell. So in the end, these systemic class problems
are treated like interpersonal conflicts. It's not that Troy's a pod in capitalism who's just
kind of a jerk to his friends. And it can all be solved with a talent show and a pool party.
But it does seem interesting that the lyrics of the song at the pool party are
the fuck I'm watching the Hassanabe broadcast, bitch. We got it all. Stay cool. We got it all,
baby. It's awesome. I've been broadcast, dude. We got Marxian interpretation, Marxist interpretation,
Marxist interpretation by describing it through, wait, they're still refusing to leave?
They're telling them to leave, but they're not leaving. All these people here have decided to stay
for the show. We're here on the ground reporting with OMG talking to people,
It's a fascinating conversation here and we're going to
Why in the world would they be arrested?
Trump needs a new secret service.
You guys with Secret Service are not weathermen or safety people.
Cut this out before you piss off the big guy upstairs and he zaps you ass.
At Secret Service, at James O'Keeffe, from Hardcore Technologist, Conservative Christian
Real American. Blocked by Dan Bongino and Marc Gabrude.
Wow, nothing says freedom fest like threatening people with
the rest for not going outside. Dude, conservatives
unironically don't understand like public safety measures at
all. It's really funny. It's fucking awesome. They just like
anytime a cop tells them like you can't do that. They're like,
I've never heard that before. Don't you know? I control everything you do. You don't get to tell me anything.
So they're part of the fabric of the last hundred years, which is so amazing. And you know, for them to be seen, to be recognized, and to be remembered for what they did 82 years ago is amazing.
Why do you do this?
What are you talking about like like listen respect the world war two veterans? Okay always
But to say that they don't get recognized or or the respect that they deserve is insane
It's like the one group of veterans in this country that everyone unconditionally respects
What the fuck are you talking about? Oh, finally Donald Trump is respecting world war two veterans. Are you insane?
it is really funny that that that people are just like is my God giving
right to be struck down by God if I want if I want to damn it
I think he's saying vets in general no no he was specifically talking about
World War two vets. If there's one guy who ironically enough would not respect
World War two veterans is Donald Trump.
Your name was? Okay. My name is Allison Hayes. And you're gonna stay to the end because?
What does that have to do with anything?
My boyfriend is a combat veteran.
Be careful.
You're talking to the future wife of a combat, former combat veteran.
Everything, Mount Vernon, we've run into the Smithsonian and seen the starts being
attributes in the flag. All today. All through the past couple of days. So we are sticking it out.
We're not giving up. No man left behind. Thanks for your boyfriend's service and yours.
Thanks for your boyfriend's service.
The scene outside the security perimeter of U.S. Secret Service were to try to establish
a magazine security perimeter again in a scenario that Trump still wants to speak.
He hasn't canceled.
You're looking at several hours to process everyone again.
this is awesome. This is fucking awesome. It's so funny.
Oh my god, what a spectacular failure. This is so funny.
It's better than anything I expected it to be, okay?
Anyway, let's get back to Ben Shabibo.
It's attacking Trump on immoral grounds and between other videos that were still very much geared toward a conservative audience if you could not...
Wait, what the hell's going on at CNN?
Communism news network? They had a filthy commie on?
Mr. Mayor, last night, this fire here, the top of the Empire State Building, was blue
for Taylor Swift's big wedding, but tonight, it's going to be red, white, and blue for
the 250th of America.
Am I crazy?
I don't think you should be wearing shorts on television unless you're, you know, engaging
in an athletic endeavor.
the dogs man hide the dogs and hide the knees is not on take shut up suit boy
what do you know
reporter don't know about suit theory and you have the honors of lighting up
this beautiful building so can we count down from five let's do it all right
Let's do it. All right, no pressure. Five, four, three, two, one.
I love it. The lights are on. Happy fourth. Last thing I want to say to you is...
May I take a look at you?
Maybe.
Not bad.
That's me, him, the secret, who I got it.
Oh, that was fantastic. Look, the lights, it's there.
Beautiful red, white, blue.
Some of the colors that will be shining over these those are on to get a summer suit last night the spire here that
This guy starts wearing Susan wants the police clothes keep it quiet on until you throw a tank top on for once
They're not even covering the DC disaster
Hey, what the fuck with why is chance in Boston?
I don't even understand why he's performing in Boston.
Money low?
Hey, chill.
He's woke now.
Oh, Trump, all deliveries go no matter what.
It looks like how late it goes, but we're here.
He is a guy who always likes the show to go on.
My question is, does everybody in this magical bunker want the show to go on?
I mean, if you're 107 years old, you can be forgiven for, I don't know, wanting to,
I don't know, hit the hay at some point.
I hear you, I hear you, but these guys, I mean, I just talked to three of them, they're,
they're still wearing to go.
And so, so they're ready to get up on stage.
And you know, Brett, you mentioned that in your call with the president, you brought
up the part where President Trump said, hey, those guys, those veterans there with you 100 years
plus, they went through a lot of bad weather. He can go through some bad weather and get through
this. And it reminds me back just a while earlier this summer, you had a 98-year-old
that World War II veteran, David Yoho, a merchant marine, signs up for service at 16 years old.
He was just back on a Monday standing in a horrific storm down at the World War II Memorial, holding Umbrella,
and his message was to young people. He said, I came here and I'll stand through this storm
to remind you that we gave up our yesterdays for your tomorrows. It's such an important-
Oh, God, it's like...
like. Thank you. Thank you for standing in the rain. This is a very, very important
call brace. He's on the ground and won't leave like the Patriot. He is. I don't think he
I'll text them. Let me see. I just texted him.
Patriotism slop. Yeah.
Oh, he said, I wish he's not so glad that we're getting a little inside view into them as Charlie's
at least going at the magical bunker.
The bunker filled with our heroes
and a lot of good cheer despite the weather.
Brett, you've been doing a fantastic job
letting us sort of catch some of that energy.
Happy Fourth of July.
Big round, you too.
All right, so again, the America 250 events are postponed
because of bad weather.
You can see that out there on that shot.
We're gonna go to Bill Mollusion who's also live here
with us in Washington, DC.
Bill, what are you hearing and what are you seeing
on the ground with so many of the people
you were interviewing not too long ago
right there at the State Fair?
Yeah, Rachel, good evening to you.
Unfortunately, it looks like at least
for the foreseeable future,
we're gonna be celebrating America's 250th birthday
all by ourselves out here.
The National Mall has turned,
we totally told how ghost town, I'll step out, give you a look.
How come Bill Mollusion is still out?
Bill McSploogeon. How come Bill McPoopin is still allowed to be there?
themselves watching the non-stop military flyovers then we started getting these dark
looming clouds big gusts of wind isolated lightning strikes they got on the loud speakers
ordered everybody out started clearing everybody out of here they actually had national guard and
wait it's even funnier that it's not raining anymore sammy gold found randy fine
gross
Dude, I don't know what's going on. I don't know what's going on, but I feel like if Trump
actually delivers this speech, something crazy is gonna happen, okay? It's, this is
Bedlam. This is chaos. I feel like this is divine retribution. I don't know why. I would look,
if I was in his shoes, I would probably not do the speech. Hogs are singing through it.
Hold on, let's get the weather report.
Sorry, Golden Knights were supposed to parachute in and then a lot of people were excited for
tonight supposed to get a B1 Lancer turning on its after burners doing a
nighttime flyover here we don't know if that's gonna happen either so we're
kind of in a wait-and-see pattern right now but you can see behind us this this
was packed just a couple of hours ago and more people were coming in and there's
not a single soul left in here it is just us and then on the back of our
camera which you can see close to the US Gap look there's that FIFA fan zone where
everybody was watching the FIFA matches that has been completely kicked out as
Well, so you were talking thousands upon thousands of people never in town for America 250 who waited in line to get into these events
Who are now out on the streets of DC not really sure where to go what they should do go back to the hotels go to the bars
Is this gonna open what's gonna happen with the president's speech?
So we're just kind of in a big holding pattern right now guys and again
We are starting to feel some more raindrops starting to come down here
Bill, I'm not sure what you're saying.
Gonna get an FBI call if something happens now?
Oh my God, dude, I'm just saying,
like there's a lot of fucking warning signs
that something ominous is afoot,
especially paired up with the reality that,
not one, not two, but three different presidents
have actually passed away on July 4th in the past.
I want Trump to be protected.
I don't want my goat to be in harm's way.
I'm telling him, don't do the speech, sir.
If these veterans can survive, you know,
That's not a secret by the way, that's like actually, real, yeah.
Thomas Jefferson, July 4th, 1826.
John Adams, July 4th, 1826.
James Monroe, July 4th, 1831.
Every great day starts with your gut.
Try new Dolcolax gummies.
I'm looking at the Doppler so what does that mean does that mean he waits until 10 p.m.
because he can't speak in front of a large crowd if he just even starts at 10 p.m.
This is the most, like, this is white culture.
This right here, this right here is shred of white culture, like when people say, like,
oh, white people have no culture, like, this is white culture, okay?
Breaking in the song, America the Beautiful, amidst a evacuation, because you wanted to
see, you wanted to see the president that bad.
It makes sense.
What's the other big thing that we've been talking about really for the last two weeks
as Congressman Jeff Andrew said, it's good for his party that this is happening, but
it's not good for our country.
And that is the rise of socialism with that Islamist seems to have adhered to the Democrats
socialist and add that to add that to anti-Semitism and a beam in hate for Israel.
You've got this guy, Abdul El Said, who just got endorsed by AOC, a socialist from New
York, who's come out and came into the question, should Israel exist?
And if you say I'm taking money from APEC as a Democrat, which is a lobbyist group,
the Israeli lobbyist group, dude, Brian, you're so, he's so in the tank, man.
He is dog.
Give it a rest.
It's America's birthday, man.
Can you have, can you take Israel's dick out of your mouth?
mouth for one day? Really? On America's birthday, Brian? It's America's birthday, Brian! It's
not Israel's birthday!
You're basically done as a candidate. That's where this party is right now. What's the other
big thing?
God damn.
It's crazy.
He's mad.
He's mad that people are criticizing APAC.
All right, let's get back to Ben Shabeebo for now.
Pretty towel from titles like Democrat America,
thugs, rapists, and child molesters.
Hollywood wants to molest your kids.
And Captain America is gay and a Nazi.
Yeah, this is that.
Apparently the kind of content that $4.7 million will get you.
This guy, by the way, is considered a leading Trump ally, Alex Jones.
I don't know why! I can't understand it!
Look at this! It looks underneath here! It's another shirt!
Why? Why?
Because I don't want to go to the cleaners that often. That's why. Come on. Okay.
It was clear from the beginning that the Daily Wire sought to provide content
to dejected Republican voters who, sure, hated liberals and Muslims as much as the next
reactionary freak, but were still skeptical of the GOP's front-runner.
Of course, that audience proved to be a shrinking one, as Donald Trump smashed caucus after caucus,
picking up scores of delegates and solidifying himself as the man to face off against the
dreaded Hillary Rodham Clinton that November.
I'm just chillin' and chillin'
Grappling with a Trump presidency on election night, Shapiro and Boring made very well of
position the Daily Wire to go belly up.
If it weren't for a nude niche they were early to tap into.
It's not that they were simply pro-Trump, but they also definitely weren't anti-Trump
either, as Ben Shapiro was about to learn the value of becoming anti-anti-Trump in
2017
Donald Trump is now president of the United States
Darth Vader no from this lady
Okay, well I was forced as f***
There's no way it was not a genuine laugh bin
Come on, I know it may feel like another lifetime ago
But Donald Trump's first term in office
Provided plenty of material for mainstream liberals intent on demonstrating their hashtag
tag resistance to a president who they, quite correctly, identified early on as a fascist
warmonger hellbent on ushering in the American Century of Humiliation. I mean, I think we
can say now they were pretty f***ing vindicated.
You had the women's marches immediately after the inauguration, a day without immigrants on
February 17th. Pink pussy hats were flying off the shelves, though obviously not all of America
was on board. Since they did go on to elect him again just eight excruciating years later,
and there were figures in the media ready to capitalize on those who looked at the resistance
movement and said, uh, Ben Shapiro understood quite well that while some Americans had voted
for Trump, plenty of others had voted against Hillary. They may not have particularly cared
for Donald Trump the man, but they certainly hated what Hillary Clinton represented. And
And unfortunately, those early years also provided plenty of material for reddip-hilled servants of the billionaire class
to traffic in their cantorous ideology through the means of smearing the left
as a bunch of hysterical crybabies that were simply too immature or uneducated
to understand such foundational concepts as facts and logic.
People were wearing what they were calling pussy hats, like pussy cats, but hats, okay, and these were supposed to protest
Donald Trump because Donald Trump is such a sexist.
if you want to drive Americans out of your camp, a quick way to do it is just keep saying things
like pussy hats over and over and over and then talking about female anatomy. A lot of these
signs are super obscene. There are a lot of kids who showed up to this thing and there are a lot of
really obscene signs. The name of the game was to hammer the left on their supposed weirdness,
to get as many non-political people in the door as possible. I mean this video alone got close
to one million views, and that was before the world had really learned who Ben Shapiro was.
As liberals were pushing back against Trump, Ben was pushing back against them, laying a
new foundation from which right-wing figureheads would go on to launch their attacks. A classic
strategy in the world of politics is to paint the other side in the most unfavorable light
imaginable. If you can show an example of one leftist being crazy, you can smear the entire
left as crazy, thus drawing a distinction between them and you as the reasonable, level-headed
adults in the room, especially in the eyes of normies.
A cursory glance at Ben's overall channel will show you that his most popular videos
don't even have Trump's name in the title.
What really got him the views were his reactions to woke SJWs, his attempts to debunk woke
ideology, and of course the debates. The many, many, many debates of Ben Shapiro. I think
there could easily be an entire video devoted to Ben Shapiro's disingenuous debate tactics,
but that's not really what we're here to do today. Ben's debates haven't been relevant for a hot minute
anyway. Did you fall? Wait, what do you mean?
why did you scream? It was in the video, wasn't it? There was a scream in the video and you
You guys thought it was me, you know, I was washing my hands after I fucking put my dishes
away.
I heard you take a tumble.
You guys are so stupid.
Hey, but if you've watched any of it yourself, you'll quickly notice a pattern.
The overwhelming majority of these smackdowns took place on college campuses, meaning this
This Harvard-educated, heavily politically engaged debate lord was facing off against
well-intentioned college students who, unfortunately, were a little too underprepared to deal with
such a weathered professional.
Now does that fact alone make Ben's positions correct?
Obviously not.
No.
The point of these debates wasn't to be right.
The point was to humiliate the opponent at all costs.
You certainly don't really need to change your opponent's mind.
You don't even have to be civil.
This is you too.
Whatever it takes to go viral.
Short, clippable moments will always be more valuable
than fully fleshed out ideas and arguments.
Okay, but you're still saying these tits
like that would be accepted
because they don't really fit in the inner place.
They can't just like-
I'm saying that the Boy Scouts have a standard.
You must be a biological boy to be a Boy Scout.
You have to be a boy-
Fucking God!
Let's go!
Sorry.
I got excited.
I just, when I see my goat thriving, you know what I mean?
When I see my motherfucking goat thriving, it's hard.
It's hard for me not to, it's hard not to get excited, you know?
Wait to be a Boy Scout.
In the name of Boy Scouts.
Ben knew his role, and that role was to refurbish the old, dusty conservative talking points
that have been thrown around.
That was so sick, dude.
That was fucking so sick, dude.
You fucking own that libtard, dude. God. Oh my god one day. I want to do an epic ownage compilation like my goat Ben. Oh
God
Fucking destroy those facts and logic you want to know why Ben Shapiro's career fell off not just because it is real
It was the fucking final straw that broke the camel's back. You want to know why his career fell off because
straight up
Everyone on his side was just like wait a minute. Why the fuck do we care about facts and logic?
No the fuck we don't, actually no, my feelings matter, far more than facts.
Facts are woke, facts are gay, facts are lip-tarded.
That's what happened.
Everyone straight up was like, why are we listening to this fucking nerd?
I don't want to debate, I don't want to debate lip-tards, I want to call them pedophiles instead.
The appetite for facts and epic onage and wanting to feel smart about destroying your interlocutors and the marketplace of ideas fell by the wayside.
And it makes sense. It was living on borrowed time anyway because Ben Shapiro never actually demonstrated facts. Unfortunately, I know there's a cliche and I will repeat it.
it. But truth does have a little bit of a bias on the liberal side, okay? For all of
liberals' faults and failures, for the many different things I yell at them about, they
are by and large on the right side when it comes to, I don't know, empirical evidence,
or at least they will generate the empirical evidence necessary.
don't care. Rubik's don't care about that shit. They think facts are
woking gay. That's what they did during COVID. During COVID,
they were just like, Oh, dude, all matter of science is bad and
wrong. And dare I say immoral, potentially satanic, I don't care
about it because it hurts my brain to think.
Found for decades, formerly weaponized by mainstream figures
who were a little too ideological and old for the type of audience that Ben was going for.
Ben Shapiro was Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck for a generation that had never heard those names before.
He could connect with the youth in ways that were never possible for Fox News blowhards like Sean Hannity,
who were preaching primarily to the old folks home.
Yet Ben was still railing against the exact same issues that conservatives of the past had always been obsessed with.
Feminism, transgenderism, Islam.
He once famously tweeted that Israelis like to build, Arabs like to bomb crap, and live in open sewage.
Hashtag SETTLEMENTS ROCK!
He's advocated for the privatization of social security, the complete criminalization of abortion and gay marriage,
and of course, fewer taxes on billionaires.
Broadcasting himself across all the major social media platforms,
Ben Shapiro quickly embraced the role of the new, fast-talking millennial
who could demonstrate to the Republican Old Guard
that actually, young people could be quite receptive to this stuff
if it were packaged the right way.
At least that's what the Old Guard seemed to take away from his rapid success.
And the success was undeniable.
The New York Times reported that by November 2017,
Ben's podcast was being downloaded 10 million times each month,
with a staggering 70% of his audience being under the age of 40.
One compilation of his debates, uploaded in September 2017,
is currently sitting at over 17 million views
by January 2018.
Slate found...
God, he really...
He really fucking...
banged back in the day.
What the hell were people on, man?
What the fuck?
Yeah, generational L for Phalenios is right, dude.
It is kind of crazy that motherfuckers were like, I can't get enough of this fucking loser.
Basically making a nerdier and some, I guess, somewhat more convincing case for the exact same shit that Glenn Beck rush Limbaugh,
Sean Hannity, Jesse Waters, Tucker Carlson, and all these other motherfuckers were saying.
I was one of those young boys watching this shit. I I know many of you were many of you have come up to me in
public
Unashamed which you know, it's fine. I we all went through different phases like I get it
But many of you have told me this you were literally on this pipeline
It's kind of crazy dude imagine imagine if you didn't encounter my content become a member of this community
Maybe join DSA maybe become like a labor union organizer or whatever as many of you have done you could right now be sitting at home
Okay
Sitting at home watching a has been gold compilation being like oh my god these fucking foits these fucking foits
Oh, it has been you're so based
That's where you would be at right now you would be on that timing right now that is what time it would be for you
Think about how fucking terrifying that is
No friends stuck in this dark pit of despair and sadness
Constantly fucking thinking like oh dude
Dude, thank God USAID was cut.
Thank God the USAID funding was cut.
Now, titties in video games any day now.
That's the type of shit you'd be thinking and saying.
Now, that Shapiro had more Facebook engagements in December than any other conservative side
or personality except for Fox News and Breitbart.
He was outpacing the Daily Collar by two and a half times and received six times more engagement
than Sean Hannity.
11 and a half times. I was at edgy centers, bro. Then I watched your clip of you with the new
Taliban who were slate cleaning and girlboss doing girlboss shit. And now I'm now a jacked and left
this as fuck. Lamal, the rest is history. It is pretty crazy to think that like, like the boo boo
Bennett video might have straight up saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. It's
the one that a lot of people point to, but it is always funny to think like, what was the one clip
that you saw of me that clicked. But I guess, I guess also at the same time there's the opposite of
it because there's a entire industry dedicated to, there's an entire industry dedicated to
making sure that the first clip you see of me is horrible. You know? More than Laura Ingram.
By that time, his Facebook page alone was sitting at 3.5 million followers.
Jeremy Boring told Vanity Fair at the end of 2018 that the Daily Wire was bringing in a
total of 140 million page views a month, had 60 full-time employees on the payroll,
and sure enough, they were able to bring on even more on-screen personalities in due time.
By now, I have no doubt you know them, and I'm sure you love them.
In 2017, the Daily Wire officially brought on Michael Knowles, a graduate of Yale and
also a failed actor who's an illustrious list of roles included the gay twink who has gay
sex.
That's true.
That's Michael.
Yeah.
What?
What is your fucking, how did you find me, Mehmet, Mehmet Walsholu?
with another gay man.
Dog, you didn't have to wear that, that's not a speedo, that's a thong.
I debated this man on covid lockdowns.
The only reason I bring that up is because Michael Knowles, if you didn't know, is a
raging homophobe who's declared that same sex couples are unfit to have children, that
their families aren't pretend and has compared surrogacy to purchasing a luxury item, stating
that even if they go to the baby store and purchase the eggs from one woman and rent
the womb of another woman and create a child as though the child were a handbag to be purchased
at Farragamo or something, they're not fit to raise a child.
He's argued that women understood the world a lot better before feminism, has decried anti-white
racism, it has advocated for the eradication of transgenderism from public life entirely.
Say it up, perfect candidate for the cool kid's philosopher to take under his wing.
2017 was also the year that Matt Walsh joined the Daily Wire as a columnist before-
I started watching when Trump got COVID and you were openly celebrating while Santa was praying
for his safety. I would never do that. Why would you say that? Why would you say such things?
Thanks for being upgraded to podcast host the following year while she is a man with
a similar resume though instead of acting in his past I learned about you from Kyogate
wait really what the fuck that's the craziest that's like yeah this guy fucking abuses dog
I got to check this guy out. I love dog abuse. What the fuck? This, this is, uh, my boyfriend
said it was right when you shit law. I was an Andrew tape fan watching you debate him
Became your fan? Oh nice.
Consists of sitting on the side of the road and rambling to himself about the differences of consensual and non consensual sex. No, I'm not kidding.
These are non consensual sex. Wait, so Kyogate actually caused me to get- there are hella people that are saying Kyogate.
what what was your fucking what was your thing last guy who did these owners
complicit college campuses died while arguing over the racially motivated
false statement about gun violence I told a friend that America deserve 911 he
said have you heard of twitch that's what you see I broke from watching Brian
Tyler Cohen all the same scripts used for his videos man's got hella catch
phrases.
Coyahgate was only four months ago. Coyahgate was October 7, 2025.
Which is bad, and then we have consensual sex, which we think is always good.
That's what we've, that's what the culture says. That's what we, a lot of us have,
most of us, it seems like that's the idea that we have. It's like, as long as they're consenting
adults who choose to do this thing, then it must be okay.
But the reality is that there's a lot of bad sex, there's a lot of immoral sex, there's
a lot of disordered, gross, harmful sex that is nonetheless consensual.
And in the Catholic Church, you have, um...
Wait, he's mad about...
Wait, I remembered this car rent because I think this is where he advocates to fuck
minors.
Okay?
I'm almost certain that this is the car where he talks about like fucking 16 year olds.
What I did not remember is him also railing against consensual sex that's immoral.
You have some cases where like cases involving Cardinal McCarrick, you hear about Cardinal
McCarrick and the controversy surrounding him.
Now there are accusations that he molested children, so that's in that category.
But then a lot of the accusations you hear about McCarrick and also with some of these
other things as well, these are, in some cases, he's having sex with seminarians.
These are grown men who he allegedly lured into bed and then had sex with.
As a grown man, if you let another man lure you into bed, does that belong in the same
category as the 12 year old kids?
Would you believe me if I said this was also the same guy who defended teen pregnancy so
long as the teen is married and the girls are technically quote, most fertile at 17?
Teen pregnancy is a new problem.
In the sense that it's only recently that we decided that it is a problem, even biologically,
and this is-
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, America it's time to celebrate it.
President Donald Trump's direction, Gates and National Model, we're open at 9.45.
Let's fucking go!
The salute to America's celebration will move forward with the president delivering remarks
at 11 p.m., 11 p.m., oh my God, rain or shine, the American people deserve a celebration
worthy of our nation's historic 250th birthday. Dude, there is no shot he makes it to 11 PM.
He is not going to make that speech. Oh my God, that is way past his bedtime.
with the weather conditions. Oh, oh, this is going to be sweet, dude. For 250 years,
America's overcome every challenge with grit, resilience, determination, a little rain will
never diminish our pride or patriotism or celebration of the greatest nation in the
history of the world. Yeah, dude, that's the same. It's the same as those guys that are
just like those guys that died while fucking building tunnels and shit, you know, versus
is the fattest 65 year old combat veteran sitting in the rain waiting for Donald Trump.
A National Guard member just showed that folks would be let back in.
Checkpoints not screening anyone yet
That's gonna get clipped yeah, I mean he it's past his bedtime is what I said what do you mean?
That's gonna get clipped. What would it get clipped for?
What the fuck are you talking about?
Trump is having a girl shower right now, he's shaving his pussy right now.
That's what he's doing.
shaving his nosey. Hell yeah dude I'm fucking torque to see my octogenarian
president delivered the same exact fucking speech he's delivered 750,000 times.
Yeah! I wish I loved anything like this guy loves Donald Trump, man. Seriously.
The mind of a hog is phenomenal. I mean, they're just cattle, dude. They're fucking straight up cattle.
But they live life so much better than we do.
Let me fucking live in the mud.
I don't give a shit.
Trump says the storm is luck.
Wait, what? After the heat and storms force evacuation shows that urgent support is to stay anyway saying it doesn't care if it's be started 2 a.m
Storms bring luck
To whatever the occasion they also make events a little bit more exciting
We will wait it out. I don't care if it's 2 o'clock in the morning or in one hour from now
Looks like it's gonna pass. They always do I will be there no matter what but the what usually turns out to be a good thing
It's Saturday night. Let's have some fun. Even if we're out late tonight, they say 11 o'clock for the speech. Who cares?
Remember two weeks ago when the big UFC event was at a hundred percent chance of heavy rain all week long and just minutes before the
card started?
Well, there wasn't a single drop and the fights turned out to be among the greatest in history. An event for the ages.
Our great veterans, especially the old-timers, many of whom are there, went through hellfire and it didn't stop them.
It's not going to stop us either. I'm not going to let some rain stop or 250th. I'm leaving the White House soon
God bless America president Donald J. Trump
God amazing
Can you give us a history of presidents who give speeches in the rain?
I mean, I don't know.
Didn't Teddy Roosevelt get shot and then continue delivering a speech?
So, you know, Caroline's freaks are bleeding after typing that long-haired bullshit.
FDR did one in the rain in Yankee Stadium.
Chance of TSA begin as TSA enters back through the gays' apparent attempt to re-establish
security screening prepares, the star with Trump saying he�s still coming.
Zachary Taylor gave a 4th of July speech in the rain then died afterwards, are you, what?
Shut the fuck up dude.
President Zagratela did not
thought about giving a speech in the rain. On July 4th,
he attended the groundbreaking for the Washington Monument
on a sweltering day, where he ate a large quantity
of cherries and ice milk. He died five days later,
likely to gastrointritis or cholera.
What?!
Do we...
How many fucking presidents has 4th of July taken out?
What the fuck?
What the absolute fuck, man?
man. On July 8th Taylor remarked to a medical attendant, I should not be surprised if this
were to terminate in my death. I did not expect to encounter what has beset me since my elevation
to the presidency. God knows I have endeavored to fulfill what I conceive to be an honest
duty, but I have been mistaken. My motives have been misconstrued and my feelings most
grossly outraged. Diarrhea and dysentery, but not related to Asiatic cholera, the latter
of widespread epidemic prevalent in Washington DC at the time.
To be fair, two of them died on the same day, so it's not as impactful, but yes, it is a
surprising amount. Yeah, no, three presidents have died on July 4th. One has apparently died due
to a July 4th related eating incident. He consumed copious amounts of chariot and iced milk while
attending holiday celebrations during a fundraising event, which was, you know, the Washington
Monument was under construction. Over the course of several days, it became severely ill with an
unknown digestive ailment.
Learning American lore?
Chatter was thinking of William Henry Harrison, who died 30 odd days after giving a speech in the rain.
Dude, what the fuck, dude?
Was that also on...
on William Henry Harrison died on April 4th, just 31 days after his inauguration, serving
the shortest term in U.S. history. He was the first president to die in office, traditionally
attributed to pneumonia from a cold inaugural day. Historians now also suggest septic shock
from contaminated drinking water. Bro, these guys were getting taken out by water and iced
milk and cherries. You're a nation on a native burial ground? Yeah.
That is crazy.
That wasn't on July 4th.
That wasn't a July 4th related incident.
That was an inauguration related incident.
he didn't see July 4th. April 4th was the last day he saw. Strength of a pale Victorian
child. What is this ice milk is crazy? If you hadn't learned to share how they use this
use to historically get and store ice and implore you to look into it, it's really interesting.
Chappos hell of presidents covers the poop water deaths.
Ice was literally just frozen lake water.
Honestly I'm gonna have some iced milk right the fuck now.
I've never, I don't think I've ever had iced milk in my life.
Just have cold milk man.
We got, we don't live in the olden age, okay?
They shipped ice boats from Antarctica.
Oh my God, that's insane.
That's so bad.
We have three hours until Trump's speech.
Let's go down the rabbit hole of iced milk.
No, we're not going to do that.
Come back, probably some.
Some of them have a lot of young kids that probably have to put to bed, probably.
But I think the president's hoping that that message will get replayed often.
There's some guys in this room that are sticking it out because they want to see the president
and they said they can wait for as long as they want.
I told a guy that's 101 and a veteran, he's like,
I'll stay if the president's coming, I'm staying.
So he's going to be here for sure.
This guy over here is a 107.
Around the country, they may not be dealing with weather problems.
They're doing the fireworks, they're celebrating this day.
It is important in the big picture.
you know it's it's one of those things and we were talking about this a little bit when we started
the show tonight you know that what makes this country great what makes it distinct what makes
it different you know it is it's the idea that you know america's embraced a concept that was never
really fully embraced before that rights are god-given like i believe talent is given every man woman
and child that were born, and when you combine the liberty, the freedom that goes along with
that, you know, we have proven over and over again that America can be the smartest, most
innovative, most technologically advanced, look at Elon Musk, there is no limit to what
human potential is showing us, look at artificial intelligence these days, there is no limit
to where that will take us.
Every day I'm fascinated at how more advanced all of that becomes.
So all of that is when you let people dig deep within themselves, bring talent to fruition
in a free environment.
And that's why I think the president also went after the battle that's ongoing, which
is pretty strong now, a push towards democratic socialism or redistributionism, statism,
totally, you know, all of it, which is clearly going to be a part of their pitch ahead of
November.
And in that speech last night, it was prominent in that deal.
But I just recently went to Mount Vernon and saw those early documents in George Washington.
And then we, oh my God, I don't care.
All right, let's get back to Ben Shapiro's career falling apart.
Me just stating, I'm just right now, I'm going to start by just stating facts.
between the ages of like 17 and 24 is when they're technically most fertile.
Yeah. Okay? That's biological. That's a fact. Alright? I'm just stating facts. That's all I'm doing.
So what I'm saying is that the problem is not per se teenage pregnancy. It's unwed pregnancy.
That's the problem in society.
Believe me, when I went to the University of Maryland, I was a little bit older than everybody,
it was like you get there and you see these like innocent girls and by the end of the year,
It's just, like, the stories you've heard about them.
It's, like, it's like this internal need to breed, and it just comes out at the wrong time.
Internal need to breed. Awesome. Another great hire there, Ben.
Love the fact that Matt Walsh has sold literal plush toys of himself as a baby, by the way.
Not at all stranger off-putting in the slightest. Nothing but the best at the Daily Wire,
whose rotating cast of characters not only included a girl named Brett Cooper,
who is essentially the gender-swapped version of Ben Shapiro, and Candace Owens,
who was officially brought on board in 2020 despite a bit of a controversial past of her own.
One that includes Hitler apologia, as she stated in 2018 that if Hitler just wanted to make Germany
great and have things run well, okay, fine. The problem is he had dreams outside of Germany,
which I think only slightly undercut some of the things he was doing.
Yeah, Ben Shapiro heard that and was like, that's my gal, Ben Shapiro heard that and
was like, is she pro-Israel?
And Candace was like, of course I'm pro-Israel.
And Ben was like, you're hired.
Well, inside of Germany?
But apparently Ben Shapiro saw that and said, we need her.
Ultimately, Ben Shapiro was building a behemoth.
Towards the end of Trump 1.0, the daily wire had been transformed into an influencer-driven
juggernaut.
hellbent on waging the culture war on as many fronts as possible.
Shapiro, Owens, Walsh, and Knowles were each raking in millions of views on their own respective broadcasts,
and because of a constant cross-promotion that was going on,
you could almost describe the Daily Wire as its own unique form of content house.
Sure, they weren't living in a mansion together like Team 10,
or making their money from only fans like The Milf.
We think it's bench pure break up thinking about the greater Israel project
That's it nothing else definitely not his wife we know that house, but they were virtually inseparable
For a time. It's not issue me on July 4th because you hate America. I love America
Hey, because there was one glaring issue with the way the company had been organized if one of the on-screen talents got big enough
and decided they no longer needed the daily wire for support, they could simply walk away
at any time and take their audience with them.
A harrowing prospect that Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boring would have been wise to take
into account.
But that wasn't exactly what they were concerned with at the time.
After all, they had much more pressing matters to attend to in the era of Biden.
With Donald Trump officially out of the White House, Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boring found
themselves in a more advantageous position than ever.
For four years, Ben was, more or less, having to put up a front to defend the president
who he had always despised on a moral level.
Now the president was a Democrat, an old senile one that he could openly and viciously trashed
without having to worry about even the slightest pushback from his audience.
In fact, it's what they expected him to do.
And of course, Ben wasn't about to let them down.
Not a good look there, Joe.
Not a great look at all.
He's completely...
...sleepy.
So, this guy is a fail.
He's a giant fail.
And I've lucked kids jumping on my lap.
What the f***?
This guy is a giant fail!
Oh my god, give him four million dollars right now.
Give him ten million dollars.
That's a great meme.
Did you know that every single like creates one additional leftist here?
I just don't understand like what people, I mean I guess like this is the content equivalent
of doing like anti-woke razors.
You know what I mean?
Where it's just like a more dog shit version of something you could get that's readily
available but this time it's got, you know, you're also doing it political style.
There's also a political movement that you're a part of
Like who the fuck will be like oh my god, I can't wait to watch this guy go epic fail on
another Joe Biden compilation
That is just science
What's going on with this guy trust me the hugs were eating good
He's not like Joe Biden didn't give him any material to work with when it came spring. I mean it came fall
This is the God's truth.
And you get in the car and a little frost on the window,
turn on the windshield wiper to be an oil slick.
Not a joke.
I have asthma and 80% of the people who, in fact, we grew up with have asthma.
That's what you call a fence line community.
This is the kind of person who's president of the United States.
In January of 2022,
2022 boring announced that the daily wires 12 month revenue had hit a hundred million dollars for the first time ever
Roughly 65% from 2020 having just moved their headquarters from Los Angeles to Nashville, Tennessee
The company was prepared my favorite bench for a tweet about you at all time
Where W in the bench pure book of takes
As a game at I've been reliably informed that in order to truly be in a slut era has on the hunt must show hog
That's real, he did say that back in May 4th, 2022.
Where did you find this?
This has got to be your own tweet, I assume.
To put their massive war chest to good use, I'm introducing a wave of new and expensive
projects.
And I'm not just talking about overproduced commercials for anti-woke razor blades and
pronoun chocolates.
Not really sure actually, and I don't care.
In June, they announced the Daily Wire Plus, an obvious spin-off of Disney Plus, though
Disney Plus never offered commentary from a doddering old transphobe who has beef with
Elmo for some reason, so if that's your thing, I guess it could be worth the $7 to $21 they
make you cough up.
I don't know.
They also announced another paid streaming platform called Bintkey that featured content
exclusively for kids and sought to answer the age-old question of, what if Bluey were
a homeschooled chinchilla voiced by washed-up reactionary comedian Rob Schneider. Yeah,
nothing screams family values like that guy. Full disclosure, I haven't tried watching
Chip Chille yet and probably never will, but everything I've read about it indicates it
was a pretty standard children's show with an emphasis-
L for you, cause that's- it's great lessons to be learned there.
It's on respecting your parents and loving your country. I-I guess. Apparently, Boring
didn't want to make this one as explicitly political,
though he did explain that the point was to push back
against what he saw as the worst excesses of the woke left.
Okay.
Kids go to school for 40 hours a week,
and then they engage in pop culture
for 40 more hours every week.
That means for 80 hours of a child's week,
you are turning them over to the left.
Oh no, the exposure to new ideas and differing perspectives
it got anything but that.
A good parent might spend 15 minutes a day
in meaningful conversation with their kids.
A great parent might take their kid to church for one hour, or two hours, or three hours a week.
The other 80, they're watching Disney. They're online, they're in public schools.
Oh my god, the horror! I would never allow my kids to endure the satanic dogmas foused by Disney Channel.
Oh yeah, my famous bench viewer ratio.
Masculinity and femininity exist.
Outward indicators of masculinity and femininity exist in nearly every human culture.
Boys are taught to be more masculine in virtually every human culture because of the role men.
The role of men is not always the same as a role of women.
Which I responded with, Ben, your 5-3 can't grow facial hair and weigh 100 pounds soaking
wet.
If we can't, if we can both be considered men, you should probably be a bit more open-minded
about gender expressions is clearly not as rigid a binary as you try to imply it is 118,000
likes.
Yeah.
This was back in the day.
This is pre Elon Purchase Twitter, so you look at the fucking replies and it's like
all real human beings.
I'm almost certain this caused Ben Shapiro to grow a beard by the way.
Okay, we're not going to do this right now, okay, we're, we're gonna finish this.
Public school teachers, you should admit, do conservatives ever get tired of being scared
of literally everything?
But not all the new daily wire projects kept their politics ambiguous.
They also released a number of films, including, but tragically not limited to, the brazenly
transphobic lady-ballers, which was about a group of men getting into women's basketball
by claiming they were transgender, Jeremy Boring, who has always wanted to be taken
seriously as an actor, and in the same way Ben Shapiro has always wanted to be taken
seriously as a screenwriter, played the main character himself, and features cameos from
the nation's most universally revered lawmakers.
Excuse me. Are these suits open? Never mind.
Don't you have a fucking job to do?
Though perhaps one of their most successful of interests to date is Matt Walsh's equally
transphobic documentary What is a Woman, or as I like to call it, the final boss of
co-worker movies. The goal was to showcase the supposed absurdity of gender ideology.
But at least three people who appeared in the films said they were tricked into being
a part of it, and that the producers had misrepresented how it would portray transgender topics.
Apparently they had promised doctors and advocates that the documentary would explore the challenges
the transgender and LGBTQIA face in today's culture, as well as advancements in transgender
care and gender affirmation surgery.
Obviously, the film wound up doing the exact opposite.
As NBC's Preston Ganaway pointed out, nowhere in the film did Walsh even use the phrase
transgender care instead opting for terms like chemical castration.
Since they hadn't heard of Matt Walsher the Daily Wire before, these interviewees had
assumed the filmmakers had more honest, pure intentions, and were surprised to learn their
words had been weaponized to further a political agenda they didn't agree with.
What I didn't know until researching this video was that the Daily Wire had also established
a conservative book publishing imprint in 2021 that helped publish propaganda. I mean, books,
just normal books, written by the usual suspects. Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens,
canceled Mandalorian star Gina Carano, but also one of the pigs involved in the fatal shooting
of Breonna Taylor. Yeah, I know. After Simon and Schuster refused to publish Sergeant Jonathan
Mattingly's book on the assassination, The Daily Wire swooped in and saved the day.
Isn't that nice?
How the fuck would you read from this guy?
Like what, what, this is so insane.
I haven't in Shuster was too afraid to tell Mattingly's story.
But we're not, they told the Associated Press.
And it's true, they weren't afraid to tell that story.
But no matter how outrageous and provocative they got,
there were always issues that the mainstream conservative brain trust at the Daily Wire
refused to touch, which created a bit of a problem for Ben.
A problem summed up by Ryan Broderick, who wrote,
the age-old problem with working at the racism factory,
they eventually make a new racism that includes you.
I shouldn't have to spell out for you why Ben Shapiro, one of the rights most prominent
Jewish commentators, and Nicholas J. Fuentes, an ardent neo-Nazi Holocaust denier, would
hate each other. They've been trading blows for almost a decade.
When this sounds like old Shapiro same tone, Nick Fuentes also says the same shit that
Ben Shapiro says, including going back on a lot of his open farming of anti Zionists
for the last two, two and a half years. And now saying that like actually Muslims do deserve
to be slaughtered. They all hate us. He even openly admitted that he was farming the Muslim
audience to the best of his ability. Yeah. I'm not so certain he even hates Israel all
that much. He just hates Jews. I think that's it. Like he would probably be fine with the
the world where they all just went to Israel, you know, like that's just, that's kind of
his, uh, unprincipled stance on this issue.
Okay.
Now, with one test, telling Tucker Carlson about their first interaction all the way
back in 2017, I said, how is it anti Semitic to just be consistent on our US foreign policy?
I tweeted a Ben Shapiro.
I said, you know, I've never seen anything on the daily wire
that's actually critical of Israel.
And he quote tweets me.
And at this time, I have 1,000 followers on Twitter.
How old are you?
I'm 18.
I don't know.
I probably got 100 likes on this tweet.
It wasn't a viral tweet.
He quote tweets me and says, to accuse a Jew of dual loyalty
is the surest sign of anti-Semitism.
He immediately called you anti-Semitism.
I was like, what is this?
Like, why is this guy attacking me?
You know, cause I don't have a platform at this time.
I'm not an influential guy or anything.
I was surprised at why he cared.
How does he even know who I am or what I'm about?
And it turned out that Cassie Dillon,
she had texted him earlier
and she wanted him to take me under his wing.
Oh, you really like this guy.
He's amazing.
He did this great debate.
She goes, but he's a little too pro-Trump.
And he goes, I'll take a look.
And so they started paying attention to me
and the more critical of Israel I was,
I started to get this really intense pushback
from the both of them.
and from a lot of the people at daily wire.
Now, don't misconstrue Nick's position here.
So, Ben Shapiro, Manny Fuentes, dog.
David Horowitz and Ben Shapiro are responsible
for like 90% of the top anti-Semites in the country.
David Horowitz who died.
Both are conservative Jews who were unbelievably races.
At least David Horowitz had a trot evolution
from being a Trotsky defender to Neocon, which is classic pipeline, whatever. Ben never
had that. But yeah, David Horowitz and Ben Shapiro are literally directly responsible
for Candace Owens. David Horowitz plucked her and groomed her into being this conservative
the key myth.
And then Candace Owens was Trump speaking now in DC, no he's not speaking now dude,
he's the doors are open as of now, he's speaking at 11.
Mark Levin also is up there as well, another conservative Jewish man.
Nick Flentes openly admits in this video, in this interview that he learned about the
great replacement conspiracy from Mark Levin.
His criticism of Israel does not mean in any way that he's a friend of the Palestinian
movement or many non-white group for that matter, anyone with even a basic understanding of who he is
should know immediately that Nick's opposition to Israel has nothing to do with the selfless,
progressive dedication to human rights and has pretty much everything to do with a burning hatred
for Jewish people. He's never exactly been one to hide his appreciation of Adolf Hitler and his
questioning of how many Jews were really killed in the Holocaust with his painfully unsubtle and
and nauseating comparison to cookies baking in an oven.
Max says if I take one hour to cook a batch of cookies
and Cookie Monster has 15 ovens working 24 hours a day,
every day for five years,
how long does it take Cookie Monster
to make six million batches of cookies?
I don't know, that's a good question.
It doesn't really sound correct to me.
Wait a second, it takes one-
Edgy boy, so edgy.
I want to cook a batch of cookies
and you have 15 ovens,
probably in four different kitchens, right?
During 24 hours a day, every day for five years,
how long would it take you to make six million?
Hmm, I don't know, it certainly wouldn't be five years, right?
The math doesn't seem to add up there.
This is beside the point,
but I watched this clip play on Rumble next to an ad
for 30% off Ivermectin, so anyway.
The actor man for the Ben Shapiro is and has always been,
since the dawn of his career,
as a columnist at Breitbart, a raging Zionist,
a defender of fascism who will back Israel
all of their violent, depraved, and sick behavior to the hilt, to without even a second thought.
We already saw his tweet from over a decade ago, lauding illegal settlements in Palestine and
slamming Arabs for bombing crap and living in open sewage. His opinions have hardly changed
since then, and all you have to do is take one look at his coverage in the days and weeks following
October 7th, 2023.
Tucker, by the way, then continued along these lines he didn't interview with the
of the fake Ramaswamy. And he likened what just happened in Israel, the kidnapping of
women and their rape. He compared that to drug overdose deaths in the United States.
People who are addicted to fentanyl, sticking needle.
Hugh Gumber, skin harvester, shut the fuck up. Trump is not delivering a speech right
now. Okay. Jesus Christ.
Oh my god. Oh my god.
You're skin harbors were just trying to jubate me and got fucking clapped
because
He's not subscribed.
He was in their arms and overdosing.
He was aggressively trying to spam
to poop suck me and then got fucked because he's not a subscriber.
It is a moral atrocity and a moral evil for people to kidnap women, rape them, and drag
them back to the Gaza border.
Those are not the same thing.
And Tucker knows that.
But this is a cheap way of telling you not to look.
Nobody is calling for America to go to war with Iran.
The entire purpose of having an aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean is to avoid that.
Of course we should care about what happens with fentanyl.
Of course we should care about, we should close our border.
Have I been unclear about this?
Of course America should have closed borders when it comes to this sort of stuff.
I'm on the same side as Tucker on that.
I just don't understand why he's not on my side when it comes to Hamas has to be wiped off the face of the earth.
The rift between Shapiro and Fuentes reflected a much deeper divide taking place on the right,
as Israel responded to the Hamas attacks of October 7th by waging an all-out assault on the 2.2 million men, women, and children then living in the Gaza Strip,
cutting off food, water, and electricity to the inhabitants,
and bombarding countless residential areas with the tags that persist to this day.
And what just about every international body considers a genocide.
Benjamin Netanyahu and other members of the regime are officially wanted
by the International Criminal Court of Justice for war crimes,
yet they continue to be protected by the United States,
first under Joe Biden and now Donald Trump.
The horrifying images of Israel's siege being plastered across everyone's screens
in the intervening two and a half years have hardly improved the country's standing in the West.
So, this shouldn't be much of a surprise that about 60% of all adults in America now have an unfavorable view of Israel.
Pew Research found in April 2026 that 80% of Democrats and Democrat-leaning voters have an unfavorable view of Israel,
And although only 41% of Republicans currently hold an unfavorable view of the apartheid states,
that's still a very significant chunk of the base, one that didn't exist prior to October 7th,
and one that Nicholas J. Fuentes is in a better position to take advantage of than our friend Benjamin Shapiro,
who considers even the slightest criticism of Israel to be flatly anti-Semitic, no questions asked.
If you in any way disapprove of Benjamin Netanyahu's open bloodthirst and warmongering,
then you obviously hate Jews.
To never mind the fact that some of the most anti-Israel groups in America are comprised of Jewish Americans
who simply don't want to see another genocide be carried out in their name,
Mr. Shapiro will hear none of it.
But thanks to the power of hindsight, we can safely say that coming to the defense of a genocide al-Ateno state
is hardly a hill worth dying on, both from a moral perspective, obviously,
but in the case of Ben Shapiro, a business one too.
Because not only was the divine ripping apart
the Republican party, it was also ripping apart
his own company.
On the morning of March 22nd, 2024,
Candace Owens shocked the world with a tweet that read,
the rumors are true, I am finally free.
She had officially parted ways with the Daily Wire
and was already promoting her own site,
which promised premium content that exposes truth
shatters assumptions and breaks boundaries. She presented the news in a way that made it seem
like the Daily Wire, aka Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boring, had been holding her back from speaking
truth to power through something. But really, for anyone paying attention, this revelation
hadn't come out of nowhere. She had been taking not-so-subtle shots at her bosses as early as
November 2023, when she tweeted that no one can serve two masters, either you will hate the one
and love the other or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both
God and money to which Shapiro responded with, Candice, if you feel that taking money from the
daily wires somehow come- God he's so fucking- he is- he is such a whiny little bitch.
It was between you and God, I all means- Trouble I have in ten minutes.
When mom finds the poop suck. Oh my god. Let me click on that real quick. Just kidding. Here's a five minute timeout, bitch.
You have been acting unprofessional and emotionally unhinged for weeks now.
And we have all had to sit back and allow it, and have all tried to exercise exceeding understanding for your raw emotion.
But you cross a certain line when you come for scripture and read yourself into it.
Ugh, I hate this like, oh, I'm mad at you Christian style.
Just, this is one of those situations where I don't like any of the parties involved so I've always taken a let them fight attitude on it and it's been great so far. You know?
I will not tolerate it. Perhaps it finally dawned on Ben as he was reading that response that-
That's right, the baiter becomes debated. Yeah, get fucked, chatter.
The audience he had spent his entire adult life working to cultivate the ensemble of
reactionary nut jobs he'd been employing for years wasn't all that fun to Jews, actually.
Whoops, who could have seen that coming?
Reflecting on Candice's time at the Daily Wire years later, Ben told the New Yorker
that when they initially brought her on in 2021, they saw her as a fairly mainstream
conservative who said inflammatory things.
If you recall, some of those inflammatory things included, you know, defending Hitler
two years before Ben hired her, but then again, Ben said he wouldn't kill baby Hitler, so
no pro-life person on earth would kill baby Hitler.
Ben says here that he liked most of the inflammatory things she said, but other stuff, not so much.
He doesn't really get into specific-
Ben- Ben is two for two. He did this with Kanye as well.
He did this with Candace and with Kanye, and both of them turned maximum anti-semitic.
the process. Two for two for Ben. Awesome. It fixed, but he does maintain that by 2023,
she was spouting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, which by the way, she most certainly was and
still is. I mean, come on, she held up a copy of the Talmudic Jew. Also, she was before she got hired
at the Daily Wire. It was only when she became anti-Israel on top of her anti-Semitism,
That's when Ben got mad. Never, never forget that. Like, there was no, there was no question on whether or not
Candace Owens was anti-Semitic when she was hired by the Daily Wire. Everybody knew it.
Okay, everybody knew it already.
The only reason why she was fired from the Daily Wire is because she became anti-Israel.
By German theologian August Rowling, a longest-credited and blatantly anti-Semitic work that was literally
used by the Nazis as justification to eradicate over six million Jews during the Holocaust.
She had been referencing the anti-Semitic notion of blood libel all throughout 2024,
had platformed Kanye West when he said that Jewish people control the media,
or, odiously, claimed that Jews were responsible for the enslavement of Africans during the slave
trade and was at one point praised by Nick Fuentes for in his words,
Candice Owens has just been on a tear lately.
She has been in a full fledged war against the Jews.
It's really funny because she also cooked Nick Fuentes, his chances.
Stole a bunch of Nick Fuentes, his audience, because his audience was looking
for a maximum anti-Semitism, which she was delivering at a time when he could
not Charlie Kirk assassination.
Never forget Candace Owens for all of her faults and failures straight up almost singlehandedly destroyed the narrative that transgender Antifa killed Charlie Kirk.
She came in hot and was like it was Israel and everyone was like that makes so much sense.
Why are you guys can stop spamming this shit please.
She did that shit.
And that's why I'm spiritually a clan Denise to no matter what the clandestine operator
I understand this can be a difficult conversation is Candace pro Epstein like Nick. No, she's not pro Jeffrey Epstein like Nick
Fentaz is she's pro Harvey Weinstein, which is somehow just as weird. I
Don't know man. These guys are such fucking freaks. I don't even know what they're doing half the time
Felix and I have spent tireless hours trying to figure out what the fucking Harvey Weinstein
situation was even like it was that was such a weird one because at least when Nick Fuentes
like yeah, he oh he's edgy boy. He's just trying to be edgy. I don't know. That's why he's like
pro FC because he has to say like increasingly unhinged shit, right? But what Candace Owens
like she didn't just take a pro Harvey Epstein stance. She also went and visited Harvey Epstein
in prison and was like trying to declare his innocence.
Yeah, I saw that. How it feels to click on Ben Shapiro's YouTube channel and see
that he's still uploading dozens of reacting to woke TikTok videos every week. He may be old,
but he still loves to dig a hole on the beach.
crushing it. 36k finally good news from tiktok. 46k what's his problem? he's not a fan.
is coca-cola the fountain of youth?
did i say harvey epstein? i meant harvey winestein sorry.
Yeah, look, it's a banger. Harvey Weinstein has been incarcerated since 2020. Candace
almost did that shit on May 20th, 2025. Like that was recent, bro.
Yeah, looking back at it, and I want to thank you, Candace, for giving me the opportunity
to...
Like, how are you anti-Israel? And then you're trying to fucking clear the image of Harvey
Weinstein, who famously used a Israeli PSYOP service to harass his victims in the journals
that were fucking covering his story and uncovering his sexual misconduct.
Like literally, BlackCube is the service that he used.
You might know the name of the service, BlackCube.
Former Mossad agents made it.
It's an intelligence agent.
It's a private security company.
Okay.
BlackCube was recently in the news a couple months ago,
because it turns out they were trying to intervene
in elections in France,
and also the mayor election in New York.
That's the company Harvey Weinstein used.
And Candace is out here being like,
oh, I hate the Jews, I hate Israel.
And then she's like, also at the same time,
Harvey Weinstein is innocent.
the fuck but yes Ben's channel is dead and it's awesome go check out Ben's
YouTube now he gets like 10k views yeah it's fucking dope episode one diplomat
Thomas Jefferson episode two the pessimist John Adams America is too
important to hand over to idiots Democrats are abandoning moderate leaders
for extremist 15k the socialist we've continues 21k americas don't like open
borders here's why i cannot begin to tell you how fucking wash this man is they
want to cancel jonathan majors again 19k views democrat meltdown over scott is
ruling
democrats just declared america samba just declared america communist 23k views
he can't even crack 23 he can't even crack 100k views on a video slandering me
That's how fucking washed he is, bro
Like think about that
More slop more pig a slop is doing
10x his viewership cutting the same video every day
A 45 minute rant being like oh this guy is on he is so he is such a loser. He is such a hypocrite. Oh
cool. More Pegaslop is teabagging him, bro. It's crazy. Yeah. Trump wins. Go to Sys send
them home. 407 K views. Now the disparity here could probably be explained by the fact
that they're probably bumping some of them with ads. They're probably buying a shit ton
ads to re-boost the channel and it's not working. That's why some of these videos get 400,000
views and most of these videos get 30,000.
It's crazy.
These clips of Democrats don't want going viral, yep, don't worry, it's not gonna go
viral anytime soon on your channel, buddy.
They should have when even the mildest criticism of Israel gets misconstrued as anti-Semitic,
but make no mistake.
Please do the Matt Maroon he chose biggest donor.
Bridgebury Omnis by Matt Maroonie, Trump's biggest deodorant.
That's the Ambassador Bridge.
Bay 4 by Matt Maroonie.
What gives?
What gives?
Trump's biggest deodorant.
Oh, sorry. It's not Matt Maroon. It's Maddie Maroon!
WHAT GIVES?!
Stake! Candace Owens is a raging anti-Semite, and was one before Ben Shapiro hired her.
He had to have known how hateful she was, and yet he continued to employ her for years
until just a few months after October 7th.
And while Candice may have a lot to say about the genocidal, fascist state of Israel today,
correctly criticizing Benjamin Netanyahu for killing children and condemning the Holocaust
being perpetuated in Gaza, Candice has historically never been one to champion the rights of Arabs
or Muslims, considering she was specifically mentioned in the Christchurch Mosque Shooters
Manifesto in 2019, where he wrote that,
and her own views helped push me further and further into the belief of-
Another case where like,
right-wingers get away with everything.
Can you imagine if any fucking shooters manifesto mentioned me this clearly?
Oh my god, every liberal, liberals would be like, we have to kill this guy.
They would be like, free the shooter, kill Hasan instead.
You know what I mean?
And so would the Republicans, of course.
I'd be in fucking jail. Violence over meekness. And yet, Ben Shapiro hired her anyway.
The idea that she was just gonna play along and never turn against his identity as a Jewish man
is a silly one that Ben should have anticipated long before spending so many years building her up.
He created this monster, and now she's gonna swallow him whole.
Candace spent the next two years steadily building up an audience,
scaring to go where the daily wire never could by actually criticizing Israel.
In the case of Candice, it was coming from an anti-Semitic place, but it nonetheless resonated with those who saw the most heinous atrocities imaginable being carried out in the name of a flag bearing the Star of David.
Being anti-Semitic and being anti-Zionist are two very different things.
One can rightfully call out Israel's war crimes while also recognizing the reality that Jewish people are not a monolith and are not collectively to blame for the crimes of a nation state.
But Candice seeks to conflate these things.
And frankly, so does Ben Shapiro.
In their world, you cannot denounce Israel without also denouncing Jews as a whole.
And that's precisely where their rift stems from.
As Israel's genocide in Gaza moved forward, but the complete support of the United States,
more and more regular Americans were becoming dispossessed with what they were witnessing.
They turned to the internet, saw that Ben Shapiro was defending Israel's crimes,
and compared that to what they saw coming out of Candace Owens,
a person who seemed more than willing to call out the various and obvious crimes against humanity.
Basically, she was beginning to steadily siphon off the Daily Wire's viewers.
Media Matters reports that from January 2025 to March 2026,
Candace was able to add 10 million new subscribers across all platforms,
generating 81 million TikTok likes and 805 million views on YouTube.
Her follower and subscriber count had ballooned to 24 million across all of her accounts,
a staggering 80% increase since the beginning of 2025.
She really was, for all intents and purposes, free from the Daily Wire's grasp,
meaning there was nothing stopping her from getting crazier than ever before,
especially in the days, weeks, and months following the fateful day of September 10th, 2025.
chaos and horror on a college campus.
Conservative activist, Charlie Kirk,
gunned down in front of a crowd at Utah Valley University.
With the assassination of Charlie Kirk
at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah,
Candace Owens coped with the loss of her friend
by ramping up her trademark conspiracy theories
to a whole new level.
It's true that the investigation
surrounding Charlie's death was suspicious.
I'm sure you all remember those oddly written text messages
the gunman was said to have typed out in the immediate aftermath of the shooting,
campus not only got to work pointing out the various inconsistencies
into what the authorities were telling the public,
but she was also quick to conjure up some theories of her own,
even if they didn't make the most sense.
First, she said that Israel had killed him,
since he was supposedly coming around on his views on the country,
his allies' dispute that he was,
and she went on to assign blame to the French government,
Since she was, after all, in the midst of battling the macrons in court after slandering the First Lady of France's transgender,
even going so far as to say that Tyler Robinson wasn't even the one to pull the trigger,
and that the actual killer had escaped through a trap door in the floor in front of where Charlie was sitting.
Later on, she said Charlie Kirk was coming to her in her dreams,
had a vivid dream this weekend, and Charlie came to me and he told me that he was portrayed.
and that he was a time traveler who went to X on ironically this was one of the most dangerous
moments of trump 2 and canisone saved everyone from it lemal i think she played a major role
but i think it was also because they were so heavy handed
um they were so heavy handed in like martyring charlie kirk that people got annoyed and then
erica kirk was so sociopathic in her reaction that people were like oh dude nobody cares about
This what the fuck your wife doesn't care about this shit. Why am I supposed to care about it? I didn't like the guy
And I think that's that's what it is. That's it was a it was a cop. It was a combination of all of those events
There were so many I
He was a shot there was a tiny exclusive device in his lapel Mike and
And Israel's known for tiny bomb like the pager bombs dude. Come on
Come on, man
Like I'm willing to entertain a conspiracy theory if there's like a different shooter and it's not Tyler Robinson or whatever
But like that is fucking insane
Yeah, that's funny in school. I mean she was just kind of saying whatever at a certain
point. Of course she had previously speculated that Charlie could have been taken out by
elements within the US military and even TP USA itself targeting in particular Charlie's
widow Erica in February. Yeah. I think a lot of right wingers are confused about all the
Charlie Kirk jokes. Sure, some people just mocking his death, but stuff like this, the
Kirkified memes, that's making fun of you. It's mocking the ridiculous reaction of the
right calling for civil war, making this dorky podcast, the remarter plastering his face everywhere.
And yes, making that stupid, we are Charlie Kirk AI song. Compare this to Henry Kissinger dying.
There were some jokes, but they came and went the staying power of the Kirk jokes,
because the right decided he was the next messiah that belonged on the quarter,
because he debated it and often lost the college students. The soy pill is, is like unacceptable
to me, okay? Because he's smart enough to know better. He's smart enough to know better, so
his existence annoys me unlike any other fucking dumbass liberal on this platform, because he's
right here. And every now and then, when he's right, he just cooks, okay? He's correct here,
but for some stupid fucking reason, for some stupid fucking reason, he's so brain poisoned with
the Hassan derangement syndrome that he literally will be like, I still hate you because you're
pro authoritarianism, you're illiberal, you're anti, you're anti liberalism, like you're
blah blah blah all this shit. It's like, dude, just fucking, just give it up, man. Just give
it up. Just let it go. Gucci bag, friend. Gucci bag. Let it go. Just let it fucking go.
like what what are we doing what are we doing you're still fucking whole you're
still carrying the liberalism torch in the big 226
check logs extremely important ban me if not let's see it's a ban coming I can
hell. I would sell my soul for Candace. I can change her. God, Candace is hot. I would
change her. Take an hour off, dude. You're in horny jail for an hour. Bro said he was
support Epstein over you in a hypothetical race? Wait, no, he did that too. I thought that was hutch.
Yeah, you guys are, you guys are confusing him with another destiny orbiter.
I just the soy pill doesn't hate you like hush does he and piss sock would have a normal
combo with you? No, he is like tweeted. He has he has tweeted like recently something
in the replies. I just don't understand it. To me, it comes across as like insane. You
know what I mean? I forget where it was, but he recently, like maybe a week ago or something,
he's a huge deorbiter. Fuck those guys. Don't ever give him oxygen, please. Yeah, I think,
I think he's still very much.
I can't tell if he's like a skeptic now.
You look Tard as well. I am Tard.
some of these guys are not as insane, right? Like some of these, I think Hutch is as insane.
Like when you say you'd rather vote for Jeffrey Epstein instead of me for president, or if
you think that I'm like worse than Donald Trump, you're an insane person, right?
I don't think this guy is one of those people.
Oh, here it is.
This is the, this is what it was.
These guys fucking hate me and call me a liberal than subscribe to actual liberals
because I was making fun of commie Turk.
And he said, I'm a big tank guy.
I just exclude social Democrats.
Fucking idiot.
You're a big, you're a big fucking idiot.
Comey Turk.
Anyway, maybe that's why everyone's calling me a secret comic because I hate you too.
You ever explain why serious because you can't understand why someone with
large and sensible content wouldn't hold less contempt for someone would also
largely sensible content he uses platform to spread voter apathy and when
faced with the most obvious trolley problem the world threw up his hands and
said no I won't use my millions dollars and hundreds of thousands of face to
try and stop Trump from winning
give it up give it up brother give up the fucking Kamala dead-endered shit please
please it's the dumbest analysis anyone can ever engage in okay like Taylor Swift
couldn't get Kamala Harris to win. What the fuck are you talking about? If you still think I'm the
one causing voter apathy, you're a fucking baboon, okay? Beyonce couldn't overcome, couldn't, couldn't
generate enough excitement for Kamala Harris. Why the fuck do you think I'm capable of doing that?
And better yet,
How have you not comprehended that at the end of the day what matters are the policies you can't outflank the fucking policies?
Okay, it was Kamala Harris that created voter apathy
He has signaled this year that he would not promote Gavin Newsom over JD Vance 2020
I actually commend him for promoting these DSA candidates and putting his time and money where his mouth is
But it's ridiculous. You wouldn't do the same to stop a fascist from winning. Oh my god
People like him are smart enough to know the true power they have regardless of the party shortcomings. This is what I mean
No, I know what this is. I think it's narcissism
Okay, I think it's narcissism because he is a content creator
So in his mind he thinks he has like this tremendous power
Okay, it's got to be that I don't think that way
Okay, I guess you could say I'm narcissistic on other shit
I never said he changed the outcome I said I hate that is enormous resources and didn't use them one vote doesn't matter why should anyone vote why advocate for good things if you won't change anyone else you could easily say the same thing about from pushing for DSA pauses that won't pass
He has signaled this year that he won't, uh, that we would not promote Gavin Newsom. Oh my god.
No, you're awkward as fuck in person. I know I've been within six feet of you. What?
I think you got your power dead on, level of power dead on. Your laser focus on
close center and congressional primaries is huge. Yeah, exactly.
Soipil is just kind of a moron who could have been on the right side of this if he wasn't
brainbroken by whatever experiences ruined his ability to understand average slash independent
voters. He thinks he's so far left to the average voter, but that's only because he's
convinced centrism is the norm because of the dumb fuck bubbles he operates in. Yeah,
I think these guys have tunnel vision.
I think these guys have like
Tunneled themselves into thinking that like near attendant actually is dead on you know what I mean that mentality is fucking dead on
Where these guys?
Sincerely sit around a circle jerk thinking the average voter the median voter is actually
Always looking for moderate policies on health care and things like that. It's like you're fucking idiot if you think that I'm sorry
It's also remarkable how little they know, but that's besides they want it.
She announced a multi-part investigative s—
You also have tunnel vision regarding China.
Fuck outta here.
The series, titled Bride of Charlie, the generated about 23 million views on its own, and was
described by the Hollywood Reporter as Candice delving into Erica's family background and
advancing insinuations about her role in his death that were widely condemned across the
conservative spectrum with Ben Shapiro being among the loudest critics.
Candace Owens is an evil, twisted human being because Candace Owens is either going through
the throes of mental illness.
How old is Soypil?
That's the last question I have.
I'm willing to bet he must not be old enough to remember 2016 or wasn't like as active
politically in 2016, right?
Because that's what it is.
These guys don't realize that they're reheating the same fucking DNC nachos from 2016 when
they say dumb fucking bullshit like that.
We're like, Hillary Rodham Clinton would have won if you supported her hard enough.
Like that's, that's what it is.
Yeah.
If this is your like second election cycle where you've been sentient, if this is your
second election cycle where you've been sentient, you saw 2020 and then 2024, then you don't
realize that you're literally doing the same thing.
attended and I've been duke and else's 2016. Okay? We've been there. We've motherfucking been there.
We've been there, done that. These are things that I'm, the things I'm hearing about Abdullah
Sayed, about Graham Plattner, about all these candidates about us in this movement, the DSA.
These aren't new. Uh, lines of attack. These are the oldest lines of attack.
We've eaten that fucking dog shit and that poison over and over again. Oh my God, Warren,
You called war on a snake.
What is this?
Please look at the picture.
He's in the propeller hat.
No, my God.
So they were pro-shoicot.
I don't get it.
or because she is a sick human being or both. She has decided that she is going to turn
her fire on the widow.
By now the gloves were officially off and a conservative civil war was ravaging the movement
from the inside. A war that Ben Shapiro was not about to win.
Ben could get mad, it could criticize Candace for being a disgusting human being and he
It could be entirely right on that front.
But what did it matter if Candace
was pulling millions of views per stream?
At the same time that Ben was bringing in
400 to 600K viewers per live show,
Candace was cracking close to three million
on some of her streams,
sometimes even more than that.
Nine million views talking about Israel's
supposed involvement in Charlie's death.
I mean, come on.
Ben's numbers weren't bad on their own,
but compared to Candace,
it was clear which of the two enjoyed more influence
within the conservative ecosystem,
coasting off new momentum that still hasn't slowed much.
Candice was just crowned the fastest growing
right wing podcast for the second quarter in a row,
as reported in April of this year by The Writing,
whose president commented that Candice Owens'
skyrocketing popularity defies an easy explanation.
You'd think that her baseless attacks
on people like Erica Kirk,
the widow of slain right wing activist, Charlie Kirk,
would discuss vast segments of the MAGA universe.
Apparently not, because each month the podcast attracts thousands of new subscribers.
She's thriving in a world where the truth is often irrelevant and outrage-
Does Hawth no he was on the latest Psyop anime video?
No.
Because I don't watch dumb shit like that.
From Slogic
On December 18th, 2025, Ben Shapiro took the stage at Turning Point USA's America Fest
to put the reactionary grifters and frauds on blasts. He attempted to lack.
And Kansas is now better in Russia more and more and Russia media doing propaganda about
Ukraine and the war now as well. Yeah. How about Russia fucking focus on quote unquote
winning this war instead of fucking trying to get Kansas always to do pro Russia propaganda?
Okay. If they're so, if they're so invested in, in having this come to a reasonable conclusion
for themselves that's positive and you know, things are not as 100% as they seem. Okay.
Anyway, that's another thing that these guys always fucking get so annoyed. So annoying about
pv is intentionally made a push to try to write out the coattails of more organized popular orgs
like people like you and dsa but they couldn't help their lived up nature by trying to sink
darry and claire's campaigns but since they they've never had actual moment emotion it didn't do
Yeah, that was very disappointing in the fucking last week when they were like
You need to fucking make your position on Russia Ukraine be clear when like these demonic DNC
Entities were looking at any avenue of attack
I
Shout at those he claimed had replaced truth with
Opportunism never returning away from naming names
Erica Kirk and TQSA never never should have put in big
Never should have been put in the position to have to defend themselves against such a specious and evil attacks
TV doesn't suck they clarified it on reddit your chat is just packed with reactionaries
dude I don't know about my chat that was my assessment
I'm telling you what my position is, like I think they're, they've done a good work
overall. They've promoted a lot of justice, Democrat candidates, a lot of DSA candidates.
But that was, that was a, I've always said this, disagreements that are marginal cannot
be turned, cannot turn into impediments. Okay. If you are going to present yourself as an
impediment to, to a candidate like Claire or Dari, Lisa winning in any way she had performed,
Even if it doesn't fucking, even if it doesn't work, I'm still going to pull out of that immediately.
Like, it would be akin to me leaning into some of the fucking altars out there that are like,
why would you ever collaborate with fucking Bernie Sanders?
Bernie Sanders is a liberal scientist. It's like, because I'm not a fucking psycho, okay?
Because he is collaborating with me, not vice versa.
He doesn't mind highlighting and promoting candidates that are to his left that are demanding an arms embargo on Israel
This is what it was. Yeah, I remember this. This was like anyway, it's fine. I
Hope they don't do something like this again, but it was like totally ridiculous
Especially when the alternative is an
An apex dude, what are you fucking nuts? You're like, oh her position on Ukraine is ambiguous
Yeah, same on you with Talerico exactly you see me fucking complaining about Talerico
I'm not fucking running around being like he sucks. He sucks. He sucks
Because he's running in Texas who gives a shit
You know?
It's just as cowardly.
The speech that he posted to his own YouTube channel, mind you,
got almost 10,000 dislikes in a remarkable display of how far right the needle had moved
by the time Ben had made these remarks.
And sure, he may be morally in the right for calling out Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes
Tucker Carlson, but what good do morals do when you spit your entire career pandering to an audience
that ignores morality and spits in the face of sensibility? The very administration that Ben had
been defending for so many years is the exact antithesis of morality and goodness when he could
no longer deliver the brand of craziness that the base craved, a base that he had spent his entire
career. I don't understand why it's bad for a PV to have a position on Ukraine. It's not bad for
for PV to have whatever position they have on Ukraine, it's horrible for a group that
has already endorsed a candidate to turn around one week out from a fucking major election
to be like, we're rescinding our support. Okay. If you can understand why that would
be rat fuck behavior for numerous other people and numerous other organizations, you can
understand how that could be rat is seen as rat fucking, uh, for, for, uh,
Daria Lisa and, and Claire Valdes is racist.
Okay.
And not only that, but also their, their perspective on it was that Claire and
Daria's opinion on Ukraine was too vague for their liking.
Like it wasn't even, they didn't even fucking, they didn't even land on anything.
That was just because they had in the past tweeted about their, the need for
diplomacy. Remember the fucking, um, wasn't it the congressional progressive caucus that
also wanted to force Biden, uh, to, to push for diplomacy at some point with Ukraine,
and then they clamped that down or was it a ceasefire?
Like that's crazy.
P.V. is also floating the idea of requiring a pro-Taiwan position. Oh my god, dude.
This is what I mean. It's unbelievable. It does an unbelievable demand to make.
What do you mean pro-Taiwan? You want fucking nuclear first strike option on China?
like who again give it up give it up up the up next Taiwan Tracker anyway yeah
they're feeding into it was only natural for him to be overtaken and outshined by
someone who was willing to say the outrageous thing what's remarkable is
that Ben had always been proud of the fact that he was never want to mince
words yet long portrayed himself as the no-nonsense guy who would never shy
away from reality and always tell it like it is. If they do that they will unironically
kill their own org by the way. Like cause no candidate is ever going to take them seriously
if they're like we are demanding a pro, we are demanding a defend Taiwan position.
Like if that's something that they're track type 8, track Taiwan.
You give up on Taiwan just like you give up on Ukraine said I haven't given up on Ukraine. What are you talking about also?
Guys guys I
Need you to understand something okay
The entire Western world
Including the United States of America is fully in support of Ukraine making that into a litmus test because you don't think that a
A candidate's position is not sufficiently pro-Ukraine is insane
Can you not comprehend why that would be different than Israel considering that 90% of Congress is pro-Israel unconditionally?
Whereas 90% of Democratic voters are against Israel
Do you not understand that one is a adequate litmus test the other one is just like how fucking pro-america can you get?
Do you not get that the Taiwan one is even more insane than that
The Taiwan one is even more insane than that because now you're like demanding a further right more militant position than like what most Americans are most American politicians are even comfortable with.
Okay.
That out now, or you'll go home in an ambulance.
What about right now, when a significant chunk of the base is more interested in hearing unsubstantiated conspiracy theories?
What do you expect to happen when you continue to defend Israel at a time when so many conservatives, especially younger conservatives, rightfully hate Netanyahu?
Or what about when you defend an illegal and offensive war with Iran that Israel very much pushed us into?
On top of everything else, Ben Shapiro has backed himself into a corner.
He was continuing to stand by his support of Israel and Erica Kirk at this TPUSA event,
no matter how unpopular it was to do so, at least among the MAGA right that exists primarily online,
where the majority of Ben's audience lives.
By this point, Ben had lost other allies, too.
Not just Candice and Tucker, but Jeremy Boring's mysterious exit in March 2025 also added fuel to the fire that Ben was tasked with extinguishing.
Ben's girl look-alike, Brent Cooper, had left to start her own channel just a few months before that in December 2024.
They then proceeded to replace her with one of the bridesmaids from her own wedding,
someone by the name of Reagan Roarbach.
If you haven't heard of her, that's because she really hasn't done that great of a job trying to fill Brent's shoes.
Again, the way he had sort of built the company meant that any on-screen personality could use the Daily Wire's resources
to accumulate a parasocial audience loyal to them,
Then walk out the door and make more money on their own without any oversight or guardrails.
Candace has done it, Breck Hooper has done it, what's up?
Taiwan is in a country where you're ideologically invested in denying Taiwan's statehood.
Brother, look at the fucking ROC Constitution.
The Republic of China is one China, just like PRC is one China.
Ironically enough, the Republic of China is actually far greater than what the PRC plus Taiwan looks like.
I think because it includes Mongolia, okay?
Like the Taiwanese situation and the way that people talk about it in the United States of America is very different than what it actually is, okay?
Oh, you're talking about CPC complicit and genocide of Rohingyas. Yes, they are there
They've both defended the military junta junta and also simultaneously defended groups against it
depending on the timing or depending on what their interests are. I know I'm
very critical of China's foreign policy, what the fuck are you talking about? This is one of them.
But if your like advocacy revolves around like I don't know,
militarily defending Taiwan when no such invasion has taken place,
it�s ridiculous. Especially when the American government�s official position is that Taiwan
is a part of China, is the official American government position, which is deploy what
we call strategic ambiguity. Every single president since Richard Nixon has said that.
I think someone like Matt Walsh or Michael Knowles from forging their own path too.
In the age of independent media, there's just no reason for someone, even up-and-coming
names, to tie themselves to a bloated institution like the Daily Wire anymore, and the legacy
media was picking up on that fact.
The first half of 2026 has seen a number of articles written about the collapse of the
Daily Wire, with coverage ranging from the Washington Post to New York Magazine to fuck.
The latter reporting that Ben's hemorrhaging audience represented the steepest decline of
any major political channel in 2026.
The intro heroes embarrassing fall from being the leading voice for
Love you don't really know your full opinion but I'm in Taiwan very people here would see
themselves as a part of China and be an offensive thing to say, I know.
The Taiwanese position on this overwhelmingly as I'm sure you know if you're in Taiwan,
is, don't rock the boat, status quo.
But groups that would demand American military defense of Taiwan would actually be disrupting
the status quo.
It would be damaging to the status quo.
I'm in favor of the status quo.
The
online conservatism has been heavily publicized.
The bulk of these pieces cite much of what we've already touched on in this video, mass
layoffs which have been cut off by 30% of the headcount.
The Iran War destroyed the whatever American ambition remained of utilizing Taiwan against
China in any way, shape, or form. It's over. It's done. You might as well, you know, grow
comfortable with that reality and hope for peace above all else. Any kind of demand to the right
of that is, is silly. No American politician will ever take you seriously. That's it. America already
blew its fucking load destroyed its peer and near peer adversary standoff munitions that they
that they literally designed so that they could go and fucking quote unquote militarily defend Taiwan
in a hypothetical scenario where China would militarily invade Taiwan which there's no you
You know, there's no evidence that they would do that.
We had to take, we had to fucking panic ship fads, fad batteries out of South Korea.
Okay.
Who's going to be on board with, uh, losing?
Who's going to be on board returning Taiwan into Ukraine?
and then also losing.
Out to the departure of key talent,
a shifting of the conservative ecosystem as a whole,
and of course, the fact that the Daily Wire wasn't burning through money.
Partly on account of all their massively ambitious projects,
not just the movies and shows we covered,
but also one of their more recent projects,
the pin-dragon cycle.
A blatant rip-off of Game of Thrones that, to the Daily Wire's credit,
does look pretty stylish and sleek,
but that's only because it cost about $3 million an episode to make.
You guys couldn't just put that money into hiring younger, more culturally aware podcasters?
What the f*** are these priorities, dude?
Well, Ben told Dylan Byers in May that he had anticipated 2026 to be the best advertising year in the history of the Daily Wire.
Again, I don't know how great of a strategy it is to run your entire show as a YouTube pre-roll advertisement,
so that people can post about it and make fun of you on Twitter.
Is that re-
Yeah, that's also literally why some of his videos get like 600,000 views.
Really? Sustainable Ben? What about trying to do this whole painful how do you do fellow kids
routine where you sit down and try to not let your age show while you play Fortnite?
Um, okay, so now this is the warm-up. You got 52 seconds.
That's so you can see you walk around, move around, back up a little bit.
I'm literally right here.
Now back up just a tiny bit. There you go.
Hey!
Wait, no, no, forward a little more. A little more. Back up.
You're the politics guy, Ben. Just do politics. Who cares about this shit?
Tucker Carlson, another ardent foe of Ben Shapiro, summarized Ben's latest predicament in a recent
appearance on Megyn Kelly's show, categorizing the likes of Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin as being
Ben is more of a gamer than me. On the outer fringe of the outer fringe, nobody watches this stuff.
There's no audience for this. There is no constituency for it. These are not major figures
in American media. They're tiny. I mean, your average porn video has a thousand more views
than any of these people get, so they're a joke. Which must be a difficult pill for Ben to swallow.
Ben Shapiro has always wanted to be taken seriously as a media figure, ever since his days of working
for Andrew Breitbart, who hammered into his protégés that politics was downstream of culture.
If you could just influence the culture, you could have influence over politics. Though as of now,
Ben Shapiro appears to be influencing neither. And while he may be getting laughed by his former
employees make no mistake. Ben is still very much a player and he's not about to go quietly.
And on May 15th, Ben took to Twitter to post his most viewed video in a long, long time.
Annoyingly captioned, all the haters can kiss my ass. I'm betting there are a lot more rational
people in this country than conspiracy-mongering nutjobs. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is where
Ben Shapiro finds himself in mid-2026, completely alienated by a swath of his former allies,
holding on to a decaying business that's leaking money by the day, an audience that
constantly demands more blood than Ben can give them. He's tied himself to a sinking ship,
and he appears to be willing to go down with it rather than break for a lifeboat.
I'll tell you exactly how it works. On the left, in independent media, the more resilient you are
with your worldview, the more people trust you. And if you're lucky enough, and if you
push through, and if you're successful enough in getting people to understand your worldview,
maybe one day you can have a large enough audience, and your audience will continue growing.
On the right, it's the opposite. If you have any real moral conviction, even if it's an
immoral perspective. On the right, if you maintain that position, as the audience is
moving, you're fucked. Okay? Tommy Lauren was an up and comer. She was everywhere on
the Republican side. And then one day she made the mistake of speaking out against abortion
bans. She said, I don't think that we should be, you know, restricting women's access to
abortions. That was it. Okay. She came out as pro abortion and that was it. Her career
was fucking over from that point on. It took her like basically six years to recover from
that moment. She got clobbered for it. They back pocketed her on Fox news and it took
her like literally six years to come back to the front office. Okay. Same with Ben.
Ben cares about Israel. And for the longest time, it didn't matter. Because for the longest
time, the Republican Party was openly pro-Israel. The independent side was pro-Israel. They didn't
care about it too much. They didn't know about it too much. We now live in a very different
media environment. So Ben can't stop being pro-Israel because he actually cares about
it. Everything else he can cast aside. But this is the one thing he cares about. He cares
about anti-Semitism growing to a certain degree. Obviously, it's fine if they're pro-Israeli
even if they're anti-Semitic. And he cares about, uh, he cares about defending Israel.
So his audience was like, fuck you.
The world of online conservatism, or really the world at large, has mostly passed him
by, as evident by the numerous replies that read, if it wasn't for Candace Owens trending,
I'd never would have seen this hilarious video of you.
Israeli spies can kiss my ass.
You're telling most of America to kiss your ass.
A very Jewish message says Dan Bilzerian.
A name I haven't heard in a very long time.
This reply alone got 29,000 likes,
signaling clearly that perhaps Ben's entire mission
was futile from the start.
He spent his career attacking almost all minority groups,
incorrectly assuming that his following of racists
and bigots would simply overlook

Her son is streaming
