More, more other kind of promoters of hate.
We must always maintain revolutionary office.
We must always continue to organize.
We must always continue to agitate because the quicker we can create enough pressure that causes the American state to re-calculate its suicide pact with Israel, the quicker we can save as many Palestinian lives possible.
what's going on everybody i hope everyone's having a fantastic evening afternoon pre-noon
no matter where you are in the world in the stoplight during this toss and i broadcast

It's news day Tuesday. I hope everyone's having a great one. I know currently Egypt was having
a great one. Mo Salah shouts out the Mo Salah. Unfortunately, it's not so great right now
because it's at 91 minutes with six minutes remaining plus seven and it's 2-2 against
the Argentina team after a 2-0 game. All of a sudden out of nowhere, shoot, shoot, he's
Is the current, is the current predicament in front of the Egyptian team?
There are a lot of you that are in support of Messi, Lionel Messi, as opposed to the
good Muslim man, Mo Salah.
Many of you have shown your real allegiance is not with the umma and instead is with the
Argentine team.
It's three two!
Oh fuck.
That's crazy!
That's crazy!
No! No! No! Are you fucking kidding me?
Are you fucking god damn it is this why people you you live early and now Egypt is bottling it
You spoiled it for me my TV is behind fuck
Why did you go live early? Fuck you messy. Okay. Okay. Okay. Oh Jesus Christ, dude. I always root for the underdog is principle
Fuck you for going live end your stream right now
My husband says that's you and a diaper behind you in the wall. Yes, it's a fan art. It's
an old school fan art. Many people don't know this, but back in the day, I used to have
a P.O. Box. And that's a, that's a OG. You've got your British accent ready. Want to start
with another resignation in the UK. Since you went live, everything went wrong. Yeah,
I did this. I did this. You got me. I did this, bro. Straight up. I'm responsible for
everything.
Egyptians are going to riot, LCC is fucked.
True.
Okay, so this is Mitch McConnell.
Like daddy at account is having some,
is having a hard time. Yeah, that makes sense.
They about to announce that Mitch McConnell's not double alive because of you.
I know, I know, I know. If you're the underdog supporter,
let me send you a Los Angeles, San Diego football chargers have marches set on
stream. If he had to pick, he would be a chargers fan.
Hashtag fuck Larry rodin. Yeah. That's why we fucking,
that's why push for turbidirby around these parts.
Cause he's the true underdog champion.
South Dakota is the underdog state and Larry rodin is a,
is a power center inside the coder. Anyway, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, three
minutes and 10, yeah, three goals in 10 minutes is unbelievable. Fuck that. That's crazy.
All right. So this is part of the broadcast where I tell you about my personal news,
but honestly, nothing has happened. Literally nothing has happened. And I, I spent the night
Just talking shit reading and
Doing nothing else really going to bed early waking up early play some basketball this morning
That's why my freckles are coming back
Outdoors, you know spending some time outdoors trying to
Trying to up my cardio game because my cardio is definitely a lot worse because I've been traveling a lot more
I haven't been working out as much like I'm weaker than I've been at this point in my life last year
Um, it's, uh, but I'm touching grass, you know, the suit is just like sucking up my
power.
I feel like, but, um, other than that, not really much has happened.
I did, I did an interview earlier this morning.
That's part of the reason why I'm live early because I did an interview at like 10 a.m.
And that's it.
That's honestly at the suit demands more hockey.
Sure.
Sure.
Um, but yeah.
get right into it. There's a lot of news to cover. Obviously, we got the Platinum fallout.
We got Bernie out, Kirk Trial, Trump and Tutokia for NATO.
Well, as Satan Yahoo complains, USMT laws after Trump touched Platner, Stevens, debate
later, reacts are back.
So shut up to be such house and army.
Um, do we have a, um, you add that you ruin.
Did I say platinum?
Oh my God.
I got platinum on the mind.
Shit.
Jesus Christ.
Good call.
Shatters.
Um, not plastic.
Yeah, to Graham Plattner. Graham Plattner is is now,
Graham Plattner is now running in Michigan.
He's going to ruin another fucking Senate race.
I stop watching Stasmasters and Parkinson's episodes of this, anyway, no socials banner,
you've changed.
Boom, I spec.
You're early today?
Yeah.
We're going to do FD Victory Lab, not even the FD Victory Lab, we're going to watch the FD video about Graham Platner.
We're going to, we're going to watch that and I'm going to do a, I'm going to do a special, I'm going to do a special call out to all the people that I talk to both publicly and also talk to in private about my disagreements on
or like my assessment on the, on the, uh, main race.
But yeah, big shout out to FD signifier, big shout out to Sean, the black,
especially who is, you know, day one, um, was a day one, uh, I'm not,
I'm not with this shit.
Big shout out to a lot of the, uh, Hassan Abi has who are, uh, were,
were skeptical on the platinum tip.
No shout outs to the fucking third worldists who were in my up my asshole being like every troop should be murdered
You know, obviously we can have reasonable disagreements and it's important to understand what we identified as like, you know
Support versus what degree of support?
Turns out planet was a little too on-brand for appealing to the hogs. Yeah
Yeah. But, yeah, Chris Rab, even AOC, even the Chappell guys weren't on them. It doesn't
matter. They've been literally saying that me and the Chappell guys were like, uh, the
number one defenders of Graham Platner that we endorsed them. And we were, uh, unbelievably
supportive of Graham Platner. Um, yeah, shout out to Oni Spamone. Um, we'll, we'll get into
Textures on the suit are on point. Definitely a good use of normal map.
Map normal map. Textures on the suit. I don't even know what you mean.
Um, uh, uh, yeah. Also.
Why don't you ever have a take as brave as this?
Toby Darden writes come from God, not from the government.
fire every politician that doesn't understand that. Yeah.
Toby Dyrden for Ayatollah, South Dakota.
Toby Dyrden is going to be elected into office by 88 clerics,
not the Muslim style, but clerics nonetheless.
Um, all right. Where is the, uh, Hassan Piker is a white supremacist.
AOC is a white supremacist. AOC and Zaron hired actress Jennifer Rassico, who does not have any public profiles. AOC is Spain, not Puerto Rico. AOC is a white supremacist. AOC is a white supremacist. White boy Hassan. Hassan Piker is a white supremacist. Wallahi.
I was gonna say take your meds, but honestly, I don't even think medicine will help you.
I don't know what planet you're on anyway.
Does anyone have a fucking, bro, does anyone have a blast off me?
Totally normal chatter.
parting gift for the USA getting eliminated? Okay, we'll talk about the USA getting eliminated.
We don't have a blast off.
Okay, I'll just use the Austin ox Zoran meme. Okay, why not?
I want written apologies for all the freaks that called FD and Sean liberal records. You fucking racist hacks
look
one of the things that I
Maintained oh
Shit, this would have been a perfect blast off me, but I miss my chance. This is awesome
look
Obviously the first story of today is gonna be on Grand Platinum. It's the major news story of
the moment
We're going to be talking about that. Obviously, there have been a sequence of red flags that some valid, some not so valid, regular, you know, regular politics, regular political actors, actively coming after, what was a Bernie Krat, anti-Israel candidate, who certainly wasn't thoroughly or properly vetted at all.
But this last allegation, this left.
Hot girls for Toby Doby for South Dakota.
I need y'all to be serious for a moment, man.
Can we be serious for a moment?
Can we just do that?
Can we be?
beat.
To be derby for South Dakota,
VARgentina, okay, okay, listen, listen, um, yes, uh, the first story that we are going
to be talking about today is Grand Platinum, Grand Platinum, uh, four term.
What happened to supporting Graham Plattner? I don't know. Were you not paying attention
to what took place yesterday? Were there was a credible rape allegation that came out from
not that long ago as well, like from 2021?
I'm going to talk about that right now as a matter of fact. So, credible rape allegation
comes from credible rape, allegation comes out on Politico. It's one of the victims,
actually someone who had given a statement to the New York Times, but had not said that
it was, you know, did not want it to be reported that it was rape. And she changed her mind.
And yeah, it's done. It's over. Put a fork in it, right? The campaign is done. Now, obviously I'm
going to be talking about what this means for the Senate majority and what this means for
Maine in general. Legitimately, what were Plattner's qualifications of the endorsed by
Bernie and says the right things. Federman was the same and Plattener could have done the same thing.
Qualification sounds like a liberal candidate requirement, but he had no demonstrable
history of leftism or advocacy, even normal non-blackwater work
that would ensure he wouldn't just stab you in the back while he got into office.
I think that it mostly just stemmed from his private profile, like his statements and private,
But I did I did talk about his like lack of
There were some people in my community that made it seem as though grand platter was, you know potentially going to run for
Uh president or whatever the fuck
And uh or was the face of this movement which uh to which I pushed back on but none of that matters
Okay
Majority report enjoyer. Yeah grand platter
Well, talked about how Michael Brooks, it one-shotted him and changed his world view all the stuff
I'm not here to say we told you story anything like that and you're not performative or a coward
But is there anything to say about the fact that the character issues were clearly there from the beginning?
He invaded Afghanistan four times in the black water. Those people are rapists usually already
Here's what I will say
What I will say about grand platinum is what I've said from the start
about Grand Platinum. The red flags were there, but these red flags were totally immaterial
for the voters in Maine, and that my assessment on this was the silver lining, which is something
that I tweeted, I think, like right after the Grand Platinum announcement, or right
after, like this was months in the past, and I've talked about this extensively. The silver
Our lining always was, it seems like people are invested in a candidate that will say
those things.
Because the reality of the matter is, it's Graham Plattner's background and his personal
moral failings that did him in, but his campaign outside of that was a phenomenal campaign.
That's precisely the reason why he put up insane numbers against the fucking existing
centrist hand-selected candidate that is the governor of the state.
That's important.
That's important analysis.
And I'm never going to shy away from giving you that analysis.
My job is twofold.
And I feel like there's been a lot of crosstalk on my perspective versus my analysis on the
race and what this says about the appetite for change, okay?
Trump's 2016 campaign was good though. See, this is the problem. Why do people do this?
Like why? This is my issue. And then 98% of the clip compilations out there are always
people making like a totally ridiculous comparison. And then me going back to grand
Platoners like policy perspectives and what that means for the overall race, what that
That means for races all around the country, many of the candidates you have actually excitedly
endorsed and supported and fucking doorknocked for, like Maylake Giroz, Chris Radd, Todd
Elisa Villachevalier, Clair Valdez, candidates that are actually fucking went out, not only
endorsed, but went out fundraised for actively campaigned alongside of and, and proud to
have played a role with this community in, in getting elected into fucking office.
Okay?
Like
Here's the difference when you say something like this, of course
I'm gonna fucking retaliate and be like that's a stupid argument and then people will clip it and be like who saw this defending
Graham Plattner again. I'm not
It's very frustrating the issues are there it can't be all about the campaign it can't be all about the manors like them
You know, I'm not shitting on the rest of your work. You do know that. Yes
Okay. In any case, can you look at Tom Tiffany's smears on you after having French shotgun?
I'm worried. Rural races, Wisconsin is real. I don't know who that is, but we'll look at
it in a second. So I think it was one of my first, one of the first tweets that I had
on the Graham Platner issue was more so about like the broad, the broad appetite that people
had all around the country, including in a state like Maine, that's a very old state,
white state, and I asked the question that I repeatedly asked over and over again. Does
this mean that people have an appetite for the policies, or do they simply like that
Graham Platner is a white guy and looks the part? And this was a question that I had for
the Mayners. And that question remains to be seen, because the comparison I always made
was between Plattner with obvious red flags versus
Abdulal Sayed. So he's seeing a lot of leads defend Plattner over establishment pig Janet
Mills because he has a leftist platform and it seems like they're tired of the status quo
electability arguments of the Dems. Now imagine if you had a candidate who didn't have a Black
Water CV and a Totem Cough, okay? But many people will take the advantage, take the time out of
their busy days, not usually doing anything else, to make it seem as though I spent, like
I did not have a much more scrutinized opinion on Graham Plattner as opposed to many of these
other candidates. And I will tell you exactly why. Okay. It's
Toe 10, not Toe 10, okay, whatever, I know.
There's a difference that I have,
a difference in opinion that I have
with many of the people that don't work
on these sorts of campaigns in any way, shape, or form
with other candidates who will go out and maybe doorknock, go out and maybe phone bank,
but they're not like, they're not looking at the situation with a broader vision of winning
the Senate majority.
There are plenty of people in this coalition in the Democratic Party that are dog shit,
okay?
Policy wise, background wise, just horrible overall.
Many people that I'm not going to actively go out and endorse, but many Democratic senators,
for example, that have to be a part of this coalition, regardless just to have the numbers
in the seats, okay?
Because at the end of the day, when push comes to shove, a Democratic representative or a
Democratic senator is going to be better than a Republican one, okay?
It's that simple.
And Graham Plattner was no different, but to simply say that this was just a lesser
evil harm reduction attitude would be also incorrect.
For Graham Plattner's race, what I was interested in always was the fact that he was an unashamed
left populist.
Now the problem that comes along with that is that his stink and his background and the
the things that he did will now be slammed into every other Bernie endorsed candidacy,
which is devastating, okay? 100%. Actually, now just a shamed left populist? Yeah, well,
that's true. So, am I wrong to have made the assessment that Graham Platner, given his
policies regardless of his red flags, was still a better choice than Susan Collins and
Shannon Mills? No. Okay, with the current information that we have on Graham Platner,
obviously it's an entirely different predicament. If Graham Platner had credible accusations
of conducting war crimes in the same way that he has a credible accusation of rape, then
that would have been irredeemable as well. Okay? But for a lot of people, their assessment
directly stemmed from the fact that he went and did four tours in Afghanistan and Iraq
and then join Blackwater. For me, the Blackwater thing was the biggest red flag. Okay? The
Blackwater thing and the Totem Crop tattoo was major red flags, should have been seen
in the vetting process. And it should have absolutely been a red flag that was, you know,
that would have stopped him from running. But I think, and I can only make this assessment
because I have no connection to these people that hand-selected this candidate, they saw
a guy who was capable of delivering a charismatic speech, which for the record, regardless of
his immoral nature, that part still remains to be true, especially in a state like Maine,
that he was a candidate that was capable of exciting a lot of older white voters.
Okay?
Now, there's varying degrees of support that were thrown in the direction of Graham Plattner.
I myself, of course, were at times talking about how ridiculous some of the campaigns
were coming from people who were openly pro-Israel and were taking that position because they
were pro-Israel.
It wasn't because they had seen red flags or anything.
It was very clear that they were like, he's, he's anti-Israel, uh, or, uh, grand platter
is, is, uh, what do you call it?
Grand platter is, is, uh, anti-Israel.
I'm pro Israel.
That's it.
I hate it.
Right.
Why are your chats being modded?
Because you're fucking linking, uh, a, a, uh, psychopathic cyber stalker of mine's manifesto
in the chat. And as a 7 month subscriber you should know better than to do that.
That's why. That's why you're getting modded.
If Planner or a Republican, his rape allegation would have helped this campaign.
If Planner was a Republican, he probably would not drop out.
No one would demand he drop out.
What makes him a psychopath and a cyber stalker?
I don't know.
His last six years of social media footprint, day in, day out, endless coverage of every
little thing that I do from a negative framework. That's a pretty good, that's a pretty good
assessment of the situation I think. His cyber stalking and also his, his psychopathic behavior.
What does this mean for the dem majority? We don't know yet. I don't know what the,
I don't know who they're going to put forth, but what I will say is this.
My position on this, my position on this issue from October 21st, 2025, is the exact same
right now, okay?
My position on this is the exact same.
The fact that there is a lot of momentum, the fact that there was a lot of momentum
behind this guy, a unknown entity who was able to defeat in the primaries, the governor
of the state, okay?
The establishment hand-selected candidate that the field was cleared for regardless
of those red flags, like the Totem Cop tattoo, the Blackwater CV, and, and, you know, some
less favorable things that he had said on Reddit many years ago, right? Regardless of
all of that, he actually fucking destroyed. He destroyed Janet Mills, pills mafia till
the bitter end. There's an important lesson there. Okay. That's what I'm interested in.
That's what I've been interested in. And that's what I will continue being interested in now.
The lesson could be one of two things. One, it could literally be because he's a white
guy who said that, you know, he had redeemed himself. He had gotten better. He had issues
of PTSD. Like he was capable of telling a really good story.
Okay. Why you stick with Morris cats for Platinum and Brand Lander? Who is cyber star? Why do
Why do I stick with Morris Katz?
Why do you get your information from insane people?
I have no connection to the fight agency, and I have maintained the position that fight
agency makes banger ads.
That's it.
They're an ad agency.
They're not a political organization.
I don't know why people are trying to tie me to the fight agency.
It's an ad agency, and they make really good ads.
Like I stand by that.
They make really, really great ads, okay?
But they're an ad agency.
political organization, they're not a political movement, they're an ad agency.
And not only are they an ad agency, they're an ad agency, they work with like the likes
of Michael Asher.
Okay.
is the best proof that they are not like a part of a political movement, but more so just an ad
agency, right? There is a level of mercenary work that you do in that situation, and I'm sure
there's plenty of great people, and I think there are some great people there, some wonderful people
that work there, but ultimately it is an ad agency, right?
And before people say like, oh, the main DSA endorsed Grand Platinum, they did not. They suggested
them. Okay. The SA never endorsed Grand Platinum. They simply suggested them on the ballot as an
acceptable substitute to Janet Mills and to Susan Collins, which is my position as well. Okay?
Recommendations are not endorsements, and even endorsements do not mean that someone is a DSA
candidate in general. You could be a DSA endorsed candidate like Troy Jackson was for governor,
but it doesn't mean Troy Jackson is, I don't think Troy Jackson was a part of the DSA, right?
But I think the important lesson here is, once again, to demand more proper vetting,
and not to go out to bat, even to the degree that I did on campaigns like Grand Platoners.
Even though I hedged my commentary over and over again, and had many private and some
public disagreements with the likes of even FD Signifier, Cavernickle as well, and defended
certain people like Chris Radd, when they criticized Graham Platner, defended FDs, criticisms
a grand planner, I still thought that he would be a better substitute for Susan Collins or
for Janet Mills. That's it. Hedging doesn't work in a hidden Clipchimp
Of course, it doesn't matter, but if you're thinking like, oh, you showed the same level
of support, you lend your entire audience and your whole ass level of support to Grand
Platinum, it's not true.
As people have seen already, and as I talked about as well, there was a point where I wanted
to, uh, there was a point where I wanted to interview Gran Platner because I had certain
questions of Gran Platner. And here's one of those clips. Um, I'm glad that someone at least found it.
Okay. This is, uh, is the reason why people like him. When you having him on, he's not,
he, I don't think he's going to come on. He wanted to come on. Uh, initially his team wanted to bring
him on, but y'all yelled and cried so much and pitched in your pants and farted that I couldn't
even have a conversation with him about his background and get like, get to know him better
and get to understand where is, uh, where he was coming from. I don't think he's ever coming on
because we're like 100% see, but this is it. We made fun of a Nazi brother. You have to be a little
bit more tactical about this stuff. Okay. You have to, you know, I would have liked to have a,
a one-on-one conversation about that and numerous other things. I wasn't gonna like glaze him.
And that's now the reason why he's not coming on. It's all good. I mean, I don't really
give a s***. Like I said, it's out of my hands. We're Pills Mafia, baby. We're Pills Mafia.
Grand Platinum is literally the liberal Donald Trump people have been looking for. That's
still true, by the way. He is. Yeah, no, he is the candidate for the moment. He is the
leader of the American woke chud movement. Anyone who actually watches the coverage
can see the difference. No, there's plenty of people who are in this community as well.
Who, uh, who came in here and, and would regularly yell at me, but they wouldn't, they would,
they would make it seem as though, uh, they would make it seem as though like my level
of, of a commentary or support for a grand platter was the same as like Abdul al said,
know what I mean? Like that's, or my level of support for, sorry, Aliza or Chris Rabb,
people like that.
That's just not true. And there's varying degrees of social Democrats leftists on the
internet that did offer a lot more support. Not that it matters, like I did, I certainly made
my position known, which is that Grant Blatner was a preferable candidate to Susan Collins and Janet
Mills. None of these guys ever actually countered that for some reason, and it's still fucking true.
You know what I mean? Well, it's not true any longer, but it was that conversation that
consistently led to people clipping shit to be like, you defended him a lot, you defended him a lot. No, I didn't.
I defended the idea that he is,
at least at the time, for the information that we had, a better candidate pushing for better policies than Susan Collins
and, uh, and, and Pills Mafia.
So,
That's where we're at, or that's where I was at, okay?
As a longtime fan, I think you need to reflect on how you take criticism, especially from
the left.
Not everyone is a wrecker or a malice third-worlder, sometimes they just disagree with you, I know.
But we're playing a little bit of rewriting in history here as well, because the people
People that were coming in here with criticisms weren't like Sean The Black's criticisms.
They weren't like FD Signifiers criticisms.
Their criticisms were, Grant Platner raped and ate children in Afghanistan specifically
did torture in Abu Ghraib and you love doing torture to the Iraqi children.
You have the death of a million Iraqi babies on your hands.
You love when Iraqi children die.
love when Iraqi children die. That's why you're supporting Grand Planner. That's why you want
Grand Planner to be your father. What the fuck, Sean? Never said shit like that. Yeah, exactly.
Which is why I'm saying we can have reasonable fucking criticisms and disagreements amongst
one another. Okay? But of course, if someone comes in and says that, I'm going to be like,
you're an insane person. That's the whole point. And for some weird reason, people think people do
this like weird Martin Bailey where they go well there was some reasonable disagreements in chat
with you and not like me yelling at the people who are like every troop every person who's been a
troop at any point in their lives deserves the death penalty okay
Okay?
You're creating a non-existent person?
Oh, come on.
Come on, brother.
That's not a straw man.
like under normal circumstances, I like embellishing and I like exaggerating because I'm supposed
to be someone who's an entertaining figure. This is the one instance where there is a
very specific tendency in this community, a very specific slant, because like, look,
Dylan Saba, who is my friend, who was very critical of Grant Platner and kept repeatedly
saying over and over again, this guy's a fucking Blackwater mercenary from 2018. Of course,
he's got fucking major red flags. I don't know what the fuck people are saying. I agree
with him. I respect his position. I agree with him. I agree with the red flags myself.
But for me, for me, as far as like a potential for a broader coalition, as far as pushing
for a left populist that I did not think had this many irredeemable qualities. Let's be
real. It was fine to hedge for me to say, hey, look, it's out of my hands as I did back then.
It's out of my hands. If the people of Maine like them, the people of Maine like them. Okay.
That's it. Yeah. And it's so strange that there are a lot of people who are running victory
laps as though like grand platinum is currently, uh, currently dropping out because like he
is a, yeah, bad empanada said Morris cats was my handler, my Jewish handler Morris cats.
Is that the argument that we're making now, bad empanada?
Come on, man.
It's ironic because they also on the one hand say that I'm like working with fight agency,
which is not true.
It's fucking ridiculous to say that.
And not only that, but also, like Morris Cass is 23 years old, okay?
When I started doing political commentary 13 years ago, Morris Cass was like, like 10.
Okay?
What are we talking about?
He's not 23, he's 24.
Okay.
And not only that, but I think he's a great ad guy for the record. I
Think he's a great ad guy. I
Think most people who are good faith are coming from the argument that obviously a war piggy who made like five tours and didn't have enough
So much that he enlisted as a mercenary and got a Nazi tattoo was bound to come out as a rapist or something
This is obvious for a lot of people and apparently it is not to you
That's not saying all veterans need to go through the gallows. No, I agree
But the problem is, I also shared that same level of skepticism, but it wasn't enough for me to just
like come out and be like, fuck Graham Platner, fuck Bernie Sanders, fuck the entire broad left
populist movement. They're all a bunch of Zionists, okay? And no, it wasn't obvious that he would be
a rapist either, okay? That's the difference. And now that we have evidence that he is, it's over.
But do you understand, like, do you understand where I'm coming from?
Because it's not like I didn't hedge.
It's not like I didn't fucking, it's not like I, I came out of the age swinging and was
like, he's the greatest thing that has ever happened.
He's the face of this movement.
He's the best guy of all time, okay?
It's just, like, there are varying degrees of support that I offer certain candidates.
Graham Planner didn't get any of that, with the exception of whenever people would come
and tell me that Janet Mills or Susan Collins would be an acceptable substitute, I said no,
I don't think that's the case.
With the evidence that I had, with the information that I had at the time, and when new information
comes in, we change our perspective.
Yeah. And when the Nazi tattoo came out, I spent a good deal of time talking about
how that paired up with the Blackwater mercenary thing was a bridge too far. Okay. But that's
it.
If you were expecting me to stand in opposition with one member of this, you know, one candidate
that they put forward that I had no say in whatsoever while, you know, taking somewhat
of a, taking somewhat of an arms length while still clearing the air on, you know, some
Some of the more ridiculous attacks, not the Blackwater stuff, but the more ridiculous
shit, you know, calling him a commie.
This is bad, all this stuff.
You know, that was, I was always going to do that.
I'm always going to tell you what my actual honest to God opinion is.
It's that simple.
I think this board for Platinum Valdez were vastly different and I don't know how obvious
criticism of Platinum weren't plain to see.
Yeah.
I have a 20 minute screen record where you were telling chatters to have charitability
for being a soldier and how many people in this community have changed.
Yes, that's not it. That's a that's a stance that I will always maintain. I
Believe that and a lot of people don't agree with that and they're using Graham Plattner as proof that like, you know
It's just veterans are not to be trusted
Okay, I'm not a troupefucker in the way that Democrats are where they're like, oh my god, Amy McGrath is going to be
be a wonderful candidate or anything like that, right? I'm not one of those guys. I'm
just agnostic. No one will mention Adam Hamaoui though. No, these are the same people that
But also we're shitting on Adam Hummoy.
In any case.
In any case.
still, there's this is still up in the air. The real point of the conflict is that military
vets can and sash cannot debate. That's really it. People don't really give a fuck about
planning or the victim. Exactly. And it's, it's interesting because like, it's interesting
because like a lot of the conversation, a lot of the anger and resentment is not even coming from
in this community, it's coming from, you know, people who were like, we told you so,
why didn't you listen to us? You should have just like outright,
you should have just outright shit on him from the start instead of, you know, having your criticisms,
but still saying like, look, he's a better candidate than Susan Collins.
He's a better candidate than Susan Collins and Janet Mills, right?
You shouldn't have said that.
You shouldn't have said that at all, which is not the case.
I mean, with the information that we had, he had a lot of red flags, but even outside
of that, without like any sort of credible accusation, he still was better than Susan
Collins at the time.
also. And Susan Collins and also Janet Mills. So, I wish you and other progressives had
treated the Platinum race like New York 12? Oh, it's a fair. That's a fair shake. I mean,
if you're talking about the rest of the online progressive left, I can't speak for their
varying degrees of support. I'm just simply telling you where I'm coming from. Okay.
But I am understanding of where they're coming from as well. I know, I know what their assessment
is. New York 12 was the Michael Asher race, for those of you who don't know, which we
just did not talk about at all. I think the level of sport I gave Platinum was even less
than Brad Lander, honestly. And I'm fine with Brad Lander being a part of this broader
movement, despite my disagreements with Brad, right, on certain issues. It's tougher though
because of the Senate race. Yeah, it's a huge deal. At the end of the day, I don't know where this
will go. I don't know what they're going to do. I don't know what they're going to do. I don't know
where this, you know, I don't know who the replacement is going to be, I'm going to obviously
continue working on the, you know, candidates that I have been working with.
But if you are trying to understand like what my assessment is, or if you saw what my skepticism
was, but also saw a bunch of clips of me being like, you know, I'm riding with,
you know, riding with grand planner or whatever. Well, you know, I'm here to clarify my position.
And I know that no matter what I say, there's going to be a fucking barrage of misinformation out
there, especially because no matter what, when I try to offer you any sort of
nuanced critique or any sort of nuanced analysis, people want black and white.
People don't want to hear, people don't want to hear what the nuanced perspective is on this.
Um, Morris Katz, uh, apparently has not reached out to the New York Post.
His team is delusional.
This person said, noting that Katz, a former campaign advisor in New York City, mayors
arm, I'm down.
He is still recommended platinum remain in the race.
Um, this is Morris Katz has to be very clear.
No one in the, uh, in campaign deliberations are familiar with my thinking is talking to
to the New York Post.
Sampark tells me Platinum should drop out
to seize Troy Jackson as a clear replacement
that satisfied the needs for credentials
and embody some of the populist policies.
I mean, Troy Jackson is not a great replacement
for Graham Platinum.
Like I will be honest with you.
I just don't know what the alternatives are.
I don't know what the alternatives are.
We'll see what they put up.
We'll see who pushes for what.
Um, and we'll see where it goes.
Choose me, I'll move buddy.
Yeah.
Yeah
As someone from the global south I appreciate everything you've done PS you are not going to get shared ability from the people who are just looking to score internet points
I know
Yeah, I mean all the fucking accusations that I'm like, you know a
mercenary for the DNC or a mercenary for a fight agency. These are fucking ridiculous
Accusations coming from the schizo left conspiracy theorists
And there's not much else I can say. You can see the deliberate actions that I've taken.
And it's really funny because those very same people will then turn around and will literally
be like, oh, Hassan wanted to work desperately with Graham Platner. It's his campaign that
didn't want to work with him. And then they don't work through the motions of that. Like
they don't work through why that didn't actually happen. They don't ask the question why the
Platinum campaign had no issues working with like David Sarota, Majority Report, numerous
other outlets, but for some reason they just chose to avoid being interviewed by someone
like myself. They don't actually, because if they were to investigate a little bit further,
they would understand exactly what I said. They would arrive at the same conclusion that
I suspect the skepticism coming from their camp was because I was going to ask him about
his background in Blackwater, his tattoo, the decision-making process there, and they
didn't want that.
They didn't want to have that conversation at all.
And in that conversation that I have with Shower, I'm like, you guys have to be a little
bit more tactful.
I'm saying like, we have to be a little bit more tactful as far as like how much we yell
about certain things, because then it undermines the opportunity to do proper vetting for a
campaign, proper vetting for a candidate in the process of an interview, okay?
That's what that, that's what that statement is about.
That's why I say we have to be a little bit more tactful.
Your haters don't even defend Daria, Claire, Corey, Rab, Hamoid.
They're unserious.
It's all a gotcha attempt
So yeah
Well, you just showed a clip on which you were complaining they canceled because of chatters not because of your opinions and doubts
See, this is what I mean. Brother, do you not understand the words that were coming out of my mouth even in that fucking clip?
What are you talking about? Yes, I said you guys chirped too much. You wouldn't let me fucking cook.
Hello?
How do you think?
Are you stupid? How do you think a campaign views a
potential interview as like maybe contentious?
They look at they they obviously look at the the the way that you know my community reacts to the fucking candidate
And no, I didn't even want to fucking cook him. I just wanted to investigate further like ask some serious questions about like where he stands
Okay
What the fuck is this gasparino is a son piker the one who calls the shots in the Democratic Party
party.
That Hassan Piker has a voice.
Have you ever listened to that guy, some of his theories about everything from Marxism,
economic Marxism to cultural Marxism to Israel?
He's way, way, way, way, way.
So this guy is their standard bearer.
And he's, I just found it fascinating, people said, oh, it's all over the platinum, because
Hassan Piker came out against him, he's the guy that calls the shots in the Democratic
Party.
Jackie's talking about it's so funny that these guys have like invented this alternative reality. I'm not this person
Why does nobody give a shit about my perspective on this ironically enough? I'm not this fucking person, man
You guys keep saying it and then you're like I'm scared about the the alternative reality that I have envisioned in my mind
Area thing to a large. No, but a lot of people. Yeah, but that's what I mean
They are controlling the left is controlling the the left has replaced the establishment as the driving force
You just say that Troy Jackson isn't a good option because you said yesterday that he's him
I'm saying that he embodies a lot of the populist
qualities in his in his legislative track record
But ultimately, I mean, he's not a very charismatic guy
I don't know what's going to happen in Maine. I have no idea. I have no understanding. I'm just
telling you, you know, this is all happening in real time.
It's not that he's too old. It's just that he reads as too old.
But when you look at someone like Troy Jackson, who has a legislative track record that's
That's very good, like fairly reliable in a state like Maine, but then you look at the
way he carries himself and then you look at the way that Graham Platner was doing all
these fucking rallies and you develop a better understanding of why so many people in Maine
fucking voted for this dude, okay, regardless of the red flags.
And that is important to identify because what comes next will need, uh, what comes
next, we'll need to muster up those very same forces that propelled Graham Plattner into
the top slot in Maine, okay? Do you understand why I'm saying this?
Because the reality of the matter is, while a lot of these establishment Democrats have
been flexing, have been talking about how, you know, it was actually the stupid consultant class
wearing car heart for vibes that convinced everyone to vote for Graham Plattner.
What they failed to recognize is Maynard's voted for him, okay? White, older Maynard's voted for
the dude. Do you understand? As I'm losing my mind, the consulting class and establishment
names cleared the field for the governor and the people of Maine voted for the dude with
a ton of golf bat who was anti-Israeli medical care for all instead. I agree as you drop
out, this argument is so unbelievably stupid. And you have to identify why that happened.
Okay, analysis does not equal endorsement.
You have to identify why that happened.
If you simply say, my least favorite characters in the establishment, or my least favorite
characters that are anti-establishment content creators are the reason why this guy fucking
won, you're a moron, okay?
Why is no one taking this shit seriously?
I know why a lot of people on the internet
wanna score cheap political points
by using a real instance of rape to do a gotcha moment.
But what I cannot comprehend is why serious people
who are supposed to be serious analysts
are not looking at the situation and recognizing
the changes that have taken place
within the base of support for the Democratic Party.
Okay?
I genuinely asked this and I don't mean to be an ass, I promise, but why is it fine that
he committed atrocities abroad because he later said it was bad, but when he's raped
someone, that's the red line because they're, okay, do you want my perspective or do you
want the actual, uh, like adult analysis, the sober analysis of how people view someone
who's a veteran because no one fucking cares in the United States of America when someone
is a veteran.
That's not seen as a negative thing.
Okay.
the negative association in this community, in this community alone. That's it, okay?
Like no one associates someone who went on four tours, even as a machine gunner for the
Marines, as someone that has done atrocities, okay? That's it. That's it. They see veterans
as heroes. They don't see veterans as war criminals. They see veterans as heroes. So
If you're asking me what my assessment is on every veteran,
I treat every single person,
including every single veteran as an individual.
I don't treat them as a monolith.
I don't treat them as all baby killing war mongers.
I look at it on a case-by-case basis.
That's it. That's it.
And with Graham Plattner, the biggest red flag, with Graham Plattner, the biggest red flag
wasn't the fact that he did four tours, even though that is not great, obviously.
But the biggest red flag was that he, as recently as 2018 joined, Constellus, the private security
firm, to do embassy security, which is like the lowest level. Ironically enough, probably
Really less war crimes took place as he was doing embassy security as opposed to like
potentially being a machine gunner and a grunt, right?
Having said that, the decision making process there is what matters to me.
He saw Blackwater and he saw the war crimes of Blackwater had engaged and he was like,
this is it.
This is my, I'm gonna go and join this, I'm gonna join this group.
That was a huge red flag.
The other red flag obviously was, again, the decision-making process that caused him to
go and get a fucking Totemkopf tattoo and keep that shit on his body for a very long
time, okay?
In some respects, I feel like we are doing the same thing that, like, near-attended does,
right?
And we say, why the fuck do the manors not care that he was a mercenary is almost the
same like demand for disciplining the base instead of understanding where the base is
and trying to, you know, find a more acceptable substitute.
It's the same disciplining operation that Zionists do, and they're like, why do people
hate Israel?
Just because we're morally on the correct side of this argument does not change that
reality that like you have to, what do I always say, you have to go to where the masses are,
to speak the language of the masses, and you have to appeal to the needs of the masses if you
want to build a mass movement, okay? You can't sit around and be like, why do people not see every
veteran as a fucking child murderer? They should see every veteran as a child murderer, which by the
way, I don't do that regardless, okay? That's it. A lot of this conversation still goes back to please
be normal.
It's ironic that people are mad about a guy who got banned for being a person who got
ban on this platform for discriminating against the protected class. Unfortunately, in this
platform, veterans are a protected class. And I did discriminate against a U.S. representative at
the time in 2019, who happens to be a veteran. People think I got banned for saying America
deserved, I actually got banned for discriminating against the protected class, which veterans are.
Okay? In any case, yes, on Twitch, the terms of service is so that veterans are seen as
to protect the class. For those of you who don't know, now you know.
This comment will piss me off so much like main voters chose Graham for the left position
and all you did was say the truth that eating bread, Graham is better than eating shit.
or Collins, and it turns out that the bread was moldy and now the moldy bread is just as bad as eating shit and you're throwing it away. Yes.
So
that was good. Can you define what exactly is normal? You were describing it like an
abstract concept which is difficult to grasp. Can we get like a checklist or something? Chatter,
that's funny. That is the most autistic question I've ever received in my entire life. Respect.
No, I can't give you what a checklist of normal is. Okay, sometimes we just got a
mask it. Okay, I do it all the time and I think you can too. I believe in you. You know what I mean?
Like I don't have like a checklist of what normal is. I think it's something that you just learn by
being out and about and being around people. Obviously, and just like getting a better grasp
of how the average person operates, how the average person thinks, where the average person is,
right? Like, Nick Paulum is not a normal person. He's a Twitch streamer, right? We are far from the,
you know, we are very far away from the normal individual. Now, having said that,
Nick Paulum's conversation I had with him yesterday and his opinions on politics are probably closer
to the uninitiated, politically uneducated normie, a guy who's just kind of like,
I don't really understand what's going on, but I feel like there's some corruption
and some foul play taking place in American politics. That's closer to the average person's
understanding of politics than every single individual in this chat. And sometimes it's
It's important for us to recognize that when we have conversations in the real world, okay?
Yeah, Evan had a good take on this, but he said people talk about media literacy,
but I think we need to start talking about moral literacy.
Asana has made a few edgy jokes here and there, but as we go daily on ironic,
we talk about why killing people is great. There's no comparison here.
Well, be honest. Do you think Asma knows?
Well, be honest. Do you think Aspen knows a single thing that I just explained to you?
Maybe, but the thing about Aspen, he does have a memory that if he sees something he'll remember it.
He has like a photographic memory, so I don't know.
There is fucking 0% chance that he knows a single damn thing that I just mentioned to you.
I mean, he's talking about it all day, so what's he talking about then? He must know.
He's just fucking rehashing whatever he's seen on Twitter and then grocking it.
I don't know. I think you might know one of these days you and him have to have a conversation. I would love that
I I don't want to be there, but I think balls balls in his court balls in his court
You know, I really do also people can talk they just can just talk out of their ass
You know, I mean he's good you and him both. I and that's why I put you guys an S tier
You guys have the ability to talk about things and it keep people interested more than most people. I can't do it
Yeah, I mean you can't deny that it you keep people interested
That I can do that. Here's much better when you say we can't just tell numbers that veterans or baby murderers
Is that babies did get murdered by American soldiers a lot of them? I
Know dude, I know I
Know but ask yourself is this the appropriate vector for advocacy and if the answer is yes, please reconsider
Okay, this is why I say you have to to comment this from a point of understanding of where the masses are
What is normalized in American society in American culture and work your way through that process?
Because there's never been a moment where I'm like join the military. It's great
They are you know the most important defensive force that's ever existed. I I don't do any of that shit
I tell people all the time that the recruitment practices are unbelievably predatory the American military is not a force for good around the world and
That we should dramatically
reconsider the way we approach these sorts of conversations, we approach these sorts of concepts.
Okay, the output of the US military is not to be the world police, that's an overall good thing,
but to advance the interests of the capitalist class. That's clear, okay?
But that doesn't mean you can run around and be like, they're murdering children with regular
frequency all the time. I guess it's insane.
Not untrue, but think of how many vets have done absolutely no reflection on their service
and continue to use their discounted denies like they did a good job. I know, but that's
That's not who you're trying to talk to.
You're trying to talk to other people.
You're trying to talk to other people that are not the relentless hog veteran who thinks
he actually did the awesome thing of like murdering Muslim children or whatever, okay?
That's not who you are talking to when you're having these conversations.
And you have to always remember other people hear you, okay?
Other people hear you and go, ugh, what the fuck did he say?
That's crazy.
They don't go, wow, this guy's clearly on the right side of this argument and now I'm
going to seriously reconsider my worldview.
A lot of people unfortunately never do that.
They don't want to like, they don't want to push for a vision in the affirmative by,
you know, just going through the motions a little bit, moderating your messaging a little
bit.
and crazy. And I wish people would do that. And many of you love the guys who do that,
right? Who do that even better than I ever could. So, Amamdani is a great example. You
guys all love him. He does this perfectly well. He liberalizes his worldview to make
it appealing and to be at the forefront of this movement. And you guys love it when he
does it. You know, you love it when I do it as well or when I see success in this thing
that we've been trying to fucking build for years.
Well, you never want to think about the work that and the messaging that it took to get
to this point. You see what I mean?
That's it.
I want to watch the FD Signifier red flag video and see what lessons we can learn from
it as he was alongside Sean the Black.
Okay, very loud critic of Grant Plattner, which many people I think misunderstood his
point as well.
I talked to FD privately many times over, leading up to this video as well, okay?
We got Benjamin Ninyahu speaking to CNN, by the way, on the docket too.
We're going to get to all of that and more.
But look, there were a lot of people who said these red flags are irredeemable, okay?
I was not one of those people until recently, okay?
You're not going to like the lessons because it's about white supremacy.
No, I, first of all, see, this is what I mean.
A lot of people misunderstand my position on this.
I have made that argument all the way back in fucking November 2025.
What did I tell you?
You have seen me talk about this, especially in comparison to a candidate that I actually
was very excited about and had endorsed and have been working with versus Graham Platner.
The Abdul Al Sayed versus Graham Platner argument comes to mind.
Instantly, this is something that I said on the Podjohns podcast all the way back in November
2025.
Let's run the tape one more time.
We shall see if the Liberals are more forgiving of guys like Graham Platner because he's a
white dude and they think that is like the primary version of electability for liberals in general.
Or is it because he came out of the gay swing with very leftist, like left flank policies
and that's the reason why they're forgiving of him. And I think the contest I'm paying close
attention to is Abdul al-Sayed, a person who has none of the red flags whatsoever.
another person that basically has an infallible reputation and has actually more experience
in politics as well. He's run for the governors. He failed to defeat, I think it was Whitmer,
that he failed to defeat on a Medicare for All campaign. And he's the real deal, right?
And he's also another early Bernie pig. He's also anti-Zionist. We shall see if liberals
are just as forgiving of a brown guy that is running on a very similar campaign to Graham
Platner without the tattoo. Yeah, without the Nazi tattoo, but he's a brown guy. Does that mean
that it's like scarier? My point is, is a white, I think we know the answer, don't we? Well, I,
as a brown person, I think I know the answer. No, I think that's defeatist. And that's, I don't
abide by that. I recognize that there's a hurdle, right? There's a hurdle, there's a higher threshold,
but you can climb it, and you can make up for that higher threshold by
instilling messaging discipline, and then not stepping on any landmines to the best of your
ability, and also just focusing on issues that the largest base actually care about. That's why
I always say, send it to the working class, because the working class, even if they don't
self-identify as the working class.
Pro-man says, I was a child in Iraq during the war. I didn't like Planner and didn't support him,
but I also didn't mind flipping one voice to be pro-Palestine slash anti-Israel.
We need all the support we can get. My thought was maybe he is bad, but a bad person against
Israel is better than Collins. That was my assessment as well. That's it. And a lot of people treated
that assessment as an outright, like he is your favorite person. And there's so much evidence
to suggest that I had tremendous scrutiny for Grant Blatner's campaign, but if you look
at just the clips of me arguing against chatters who were making insane points, like much broader
points about every fucking veteran being a certain way or all this shit.
Dog, I'm sorry, but you just white-splanned work twice as hard for half the reward to
a woman of color.
Dog, don't you think maybe I have a little bit of background in this too?
Yeah, I'm saying that because I fucking believe it. Yes, I know it. What do you mean?
Hello.
I'm doing that in defense of Abdul al-Sayed. I'm like, look, we know how it is.
I understand how it is, but it's not, it's not, it's not unfixable. It's not unsolvable.
I said this about Kamala Harris too, when people were like, oh, she's a black woman.
Gommel airs the black woman. It'll never work. And I was like, no, it doesn't matter. That's not, that's a hurdle, but it's one that you can climb. It's just going to be a harder hill to climb, but it doesn't matter. It's still climbable.
What am I supposed to do? Yes, the armum donnies proof that you can do that, right?
I don't think we just cut great candidacy short, like Abdul El Sayed specifically because
he's not a white man.
That's it, but yeah, all jokes aside, lesser evil voter across the board, right?
up to the recent allegations, obviously, recent allegations aside, and, you know, I think,
as I've said over and over again, I think he should drop out.
You literally brag about the Rhodes Scholarship named after white supremacist Cecil Rhodes,
and you ignore the criticism planner. You have anti-blackness. You do work on it.
I'm pointing to the credentials of a brown Egyptian Muslim man.
This has got to be a joke, right?
You can't be this much.
You can't be this Jasekai pilled.
I don't think that this is a joke, right?
Please ask me.
Please tell me you're f**king baiting and you're joking.
Like, there's no, like, you think that has anything to do with my assessment of Cecil
Rhodes or Rhodesia or white supremacy when I point to the credentials of a person by
naming the scholarship that he received?
I can't under, there's no way, I don't think you're being serious, I'm just gonna move
off from this, especially because I'm literally talking about Abdul, Abdul Rahman, El Sayed.
Okay, I'm talking about Abdul Rahman El Sayed.
And how white people oftentimes will overlook the background and credentials of a person,
just because his name is Abdul Rahman El Sayed.
Chatter bringing back secret woke 0.1 alpha
Abdulrahman Mohammed el Sayed
It's not a joke is coming from a black woman, please stop uplifting that scholarship, okay
Sure, I apologize I am I am I did a bodies and spaces I apologize
I should have never brought up the Rhodes Scholarship that Abdu Rahman El-Said has when talking about
How he is unbelievably credentialed far more credentialed than any other person running right now
I
Have a lot of learning to do thank you
Yeah, it's true. So, Nora Rothman, this is from the National Review. Nora Rothman went on.
The Jake Taperstein and Broadcast talk about Mallory McMarrow. This is like right before
or the, the platinum stuff happened, um, and, and we're going to get to this in a second.
And I also have an interesting take on this too, but we'll, uh, we'll, we'll, we'll do
that in a second.
Um, does anyone have the fd signifier video?
I'm going to say why are we talking about Grand Platinum because I've been hearing about
this one.
No, not this one.
Not this one.
another video on it. Not a recent one. No, this is the recent one called White Fatigue,
right? No, this is this is from three hours ago. I'm not. Isn't there one that's like,
I think, yeah, this is the one why I left the white left, all white left this one time
out until further notice. I've been hanging around y'all too long. And now I have lice
and black people shouldn't get lice that it doesn't work like that for us. Lice in America
cannot survive in black hair. Y'all probably don't realize that because a lot of y'all
don't be no shit about us, but we already off topic. And the fact that I'll be explaining
black people shit is kind of why I have this problem in the first place. We're gonna start
out talking grand platinum a little bit because he's a great framing tool for everything I
I want to get off my chest.
I want to be really clear.
I'm going to say that a lot in this video.
I don't like this dude.
He feels like a seasonal villain from a prestige political drama,
like House of Cards or a scandal or something.
I'm not saying he's a Nazi, but he's at least like Hydra or order of the Cyclops
for those of you that watch Watchmen all those years ago.
He just is that guy.
And it's incredibly obvious to anyone who isn't some of y'all.
And this isn't just taking issue with this military service.
I don't have a purity policy toward anything really if you know me,
but definitely not ex-military people on the left.
I am anti-American military.
Like I don't want to misconstrue that.
There are also Black Panthers who are ex-military.
The American military spends billions of dollars
working in propagandizing young people across this country.
So I try to hold a nuanced position for how that works.
But I wouldn't apply this to Plattner for tours and Blackwater
and a Nazi tattoo is a lot.
And I know that's not a hot take.
I know even more moderate folks would agree with that.
So I have to wonder why and how is Platinum being pushed so hard
by the establishment and the online left in general.
Platinum is the latest project out of the fight agency.
The fight agency is a political consultancy.
They will start it by some ex Bernie Sanders, ex John Federman folks.
And in recent years, they've been behind the success of Zoram Amdani,
as well as people like Dan Osborne, Bob Brooks, et cetera.
And aside from Zoram Amdani,
you kind of see what's happening here, all we're missing is Hank Hill, like the main
mostly valid argument that I will get about Platner is that he's one of the few folks
amongst the Democrats that vows to pull military support from Israel.
Not a single taxpayer dollar should be spent-
By the way, a lot of people consistently point to me talking about Graham Platner being an
Exceptional communicator as like
Defense that's literally the reason why he won
Okay, he is very good at telling a fucking story and playing a role
I don't know if fd will agree with me on this
But like that's why he fucking won the goddamn primary against the established name that is the fucking governor of the state
Okay
That's just true. It's objectively true.
Okay, this is I don't think this should be beyond the fucking pale
And on arming and defending a country that commits a genocide and that is extremely important for Palestinian liberation
But I do have to ask why are we being asked to not just tolerate
Plattener for that reason but to see him almost as the future of the Democratic Party and maybe even the left
Why has he become the darling of the online predominantly white left in this timeframe?
Why did the fight agency scout him in the first place?
It's because the fight agency knows that this image of white American exceptionalism and
especially masculinity is still highly valued amongst the white masses.
He's doing a reskin of the Marble Man or better yet like Don Draper, Joe Miller from
The Last of Us, literally he looks like Waltz of White.
I want you to remember all of these characters,
and historically it's always straight white men that.
No one ever said that on the left side.
No, I mean,
I think there were a lot of people who are glazing the shit out of Graham
Plattener and that's what he's referencing. Um, like, look, I, I,
and, and FD will, uh, FD will attest to this, uh,
both in private correspondence, but also my public statements that like,
I always hedged my, uh,
I always hedged my my grand platinum commentary with his uh with his red flags but you know there
were definitely a lot of people that were very excited about uh how how charismatic he presented
himself as. They also realized that fact about those characters and when you're not a straight
white male like you like you you've been glazing platinum for months.
If there is no if there is no difference in my commentary on Grand Platinum versus what I've said and what I've done for
Daria Lisa, Chris Rabb, Claire Valdez, Adam Hamaoui, Abdulla Sade, why have I been doing any of this?
Why have I been doing any of this? You Hedgebook, come on man, but like why have I been doing any of this shit?
Did you see the same level of excitement the same level of support that any number of different people received?
There was it just me arguing against chatters like yourself that would sometimes make very stupid comparisons like oh
Oh, well, why why not Kamala Harris then? What did I tell you if Kamala Harris had the same platform as
as as
Grand Platinum she would fucking she would have won, okay
And yes, I would have fucking door knock for her like I said if Kamala Harris came out swinging against Israel's genocide
But I tell you I was like it's a it's too
Significant of a race to just fucking ignore
You always take note of those types of fans.
They may not be the worst people in the world,
but there are people to observe.
But the left falling for the same trick like this is not surprising when you realize
that white leftists in America have never consistently had a halfway decently developed
racial analysis. And this is just a historical pattern at this
point. Again, shout out to a book I've been reading from
Brian Quilba, Hubert Harrison, the Forbidden Genius of Black
Radicalism. Hubert Harrison was a lesser known black socialist
who worked and wrote in the same era as Booker T. Washington,
Du Bois and Garvey. And what's to the left of all of them during
that time, including Du Bois?
I don't think planet is popular to appear as due to his Israel
take as much as his due to his healthcare take. No, I agree.
For sure.
But in this, he also found himself confounded by the challenge of organizing with white
socialists who at the time could not see past their anti-blackness to form effective solidarity
and build a functional coalition.
And this pattern has never stopped repeating, which is illustrated by this excerpt from
Eugene Debs that's in the book.
In capitalism, the Negro question is a grave one and will grow more threatening as the
the contradictions and complications
of capitalist society multiplied, Debs allowed.
But this need not worry us.
Let them settle the Negro question in their way
if they can, we have nothing to do with it
for that is their fight.
Debs here exemplified the way in which even a radical
white people who called for a working class revolution
against capitalism could simultaneously distance themselves
from the specific challenges facing the most oppressed
segment of the working class.
I'm bringing this up because I wanna show
that this is an infinite loop at this point.
White left this with little to no racial analytical frame,
can't help but censor their sensibilities,
even in the face of obvious red flags or-
This is 100% accurate.
Okay, it's true.
What do I always fucking say?
There is no path to socialism,
to developing socialism in this country
without black socialism.
Capital B, black socialism.
straight up. That's it. Black people are a obviously fundamentally important part of the
American working class. But beyond that, they've also been at the forefront of every civil rights
and every working, uh, every working man's struggle in this country historically. Okay.
And yes, given the unique nature of anti-blackness in this country, because the white supremacist
shape always takes the form of anti-blackness at the end of the day. This doesn't mean that like
anti-brown behavior is not also baked into the system. Islamophobia is also not baked into the
system, but anti-blackness is very specific. It has been a fundamental plank of American culture,
American existence, and therefore it needs to always have its own care and consideration.
clearly better options if they don't appeal to their aesthetics and need to center themselves.
Why have we centered Graham Plattner when we have Chris Robb, who from what I understand is the
furthest left candidate the Democrats have ever had in any political race. And he low-key still
fits the gruff leftist daddy kink that so many y'all seem to like. Another face that I haven't seen
on my feet at all and I have to get from somebody else is Charles Booker. Booker has as progressive
an agenda as you can have in mainstream politics, and isn't a very vulnerable red state that
could use a lot more attention and support from the online left.
And the only, the only thing I'll say here is the electoral calculation for a grand
platinum is looked far better than, than Booker.
That's it.
Um, I mean, Booker's dope.
I've talked about Charles Booker.
I've talked about, uh, you know, I would love to go and work with him if he wants my help.
But, um, but, uh, yeah, bookers in Kentucky, so it's a far, far, far more difficult hill
to climb than like what seemed to be an easy lock state in Maine because Susan Collins
is like finally going to get taken out.
Not there.
Booker's not just anti-sending weapons to Israel.
He's Medicare for all.
He's for universal basic income, stopping data senders, decriminalizing poverty and
reparations is everything you can want from a mainstream politician.
he's invisible compared to Platinum.
I don't follow elections much unless it's local,
but I have seen Platinum's face a million times more
than either Rob or Booker.
Rob did spend some time with Assan.
Booker, he's got nothing as far as I can tell.
Meanwhile, Platinum has tons of interviews,
majority report, media, Assan, New York Times.
Why is this happening?
Why is that viable?
From my perspective and experience,
a lot of white leftists understand that it's bad to be races,
but they don't actually understand why racism is bad
or how it works.
The absence of a critical understanding
of how whiteness works is why a lot of them fall
for the same trick over and over to the point
where the fight agency clearly has this type built out
just for you all.
If you want to vote for Plattener as an odious candidate
that will help in military support to Israel, go ahead,
but it should be treated as a tainted compromise
for the sake of a free Palestine,
not a vision for the future of the left.
he should not be in our faces as much as he is.
He should not have the defenders that he has
that I know will show up in this comment section.
He should be the online less sneaky link
that you've never seen a lot of day
and never talk about in public.
And the fact that so many white leftists don't feel this
is sadly par for the course.
The red flags that he has don't bother some of y'all
because those red flags have never been weaponized against you.
But when you're someone who's historically been targeted
by this archetype, you pay attention to those patterns.
You don't compromise with that.
For reasons I won't get into,
I've had to spend the last few weeks arguing
that normalizing Nazi terminology both wokely is bad
and that no one on the left should be doing it.
And I've had some, not many, not many I wanna be clear,
but plenty of white leftists try to argue
that nobody cares about Nazis,
as if a couple of Nazis didn't just shoot up a mosque
in San Diego just a few weeks ago,
Well, the fact that that exact type of Nazi.
Why are we watching this victim mentality, dog?
Come on.
Come on.
You are, you are playing the fucking stereotype, man.
This is not victim mentality, motherfucker.
This is critical analysis.
And also it's correct.
Like this is the, the moment of indication for FD signifier.
It's kind of ridiculous.
there's still double down on your blind spot,
instead of just being like, you know what,
maybe this is a good opportunity to reconsider
some of the biases that I might have.
It's not an accident that the people
that were far more critical of Graham Platner
were people like FD Signifier, Sean the Black,
Chris Rabb.
Okay.
even AOC shied away from an endorsement.
And if you recall,
there were a lot of people who were yelling at Chris Rabb
when Chris did that interview with Crystal Ball.
And I had to come in with a little bit of course correction
even in this community where I said,
look, I Chris Rabb as opposed to Grant Platner
is someone who I have lent support to,
who I have actually gone and campaigned with
and put the weight of this community behind,
and there's a reason for that, okay?
Like his skepticism turned out to be correct.
His skepticism turned out to be correct.
Our lack or my limited amount of skepticism was not correct.
Notwithstanding the conversations about broader issues
about like how, you know, veterans or this or that,
I'm not having that conversation right now,
even though many people will take those conversations
and will slam it in, or even, you know,
what kind of attacks you receive if you come out as,
as someone who is, as someone who is critical of, of Israel.
Because if you recall, like, squirrel, also immediately,
Zay squirrel also immediately was like,
this guy's a fucking no good candidate.
Uh, and, and is, is bad black water mercenary, but even Zay squirrel alongside myself had
the same exact assessment with the New York Times report, right?
Where they also said the same thing I did, that this kind of feels like a, like a hit
job.
It turns out, it turns out that there was a lot more evidence that the New York Times
did not report on for one reason or another. It's remarkable that they did not report on
those reasons and simply left the assessment of this allegation as someone who had one
weird moment with Graham Platner, but ultimately was fine with Graham Platner. It turns out
She wasn't fine with that, right?
Don't throw a majority report under the bus. I'm never going to throw a majority report under
the bus. I'm not going to throw any. I'm not going to throw Kyle Kalinski under the bus.
I think it's important to recognize blind spots, myself included. Having said that,
I totally understand why they were in support. A lot of these people that were in support
support of Graham Platner were also in support of Kamala Harris in ways that were far more
meaningful than my assessment of that race. They were doing harm reduction and lesser
evil voting arguments. This is consistent with their principle. If someone is going
to do harm reduction arguments for Kamala Harris, then of course they're going to make,
you know, of course they're going to be in the tank for Grand Platinum. FD was in support of
Kamala too. Yeah, did you not hear him literally also do, yes, FD Signifier is also a harm reductionist.
Okay, he literally said, look, you're going to vote for Grand Platinum, just don't make him the
face of the movement. That's all he's saying. And I think a lot of people don't listen to
the nuanced criticism here. He is quite literally saying, look, if you're going to vote for grand
planner, that's fine. But like, there's obviously a lot of red flags and you shouldn't make him the
face of a movement. You shouldn't be giving him this much coverage. You know what I mean?
I think you didn't go as hard on him as the same reason people get scammed because you wanted it
it to be true? Of course. Of course I wanted, of course I wanted him to be the, the base
like Kami, former veteran that is like anti-imperialist, but he's like hiding his fucking, he's hiding
how radically is. Turns out he was hiding his real experiences, just not in the direction
that I hoped he was. But once again, the skepticism still remained. It was something that I wanted
to make a personal assessment on it. Unfortunately, well, I guess not even unfortunately, I guess
I fortunately never had the opportunity to do so, especially considering holy shit, um,
you know, uh, the, the amount of, of cooking that I'd be receiving in this circumstance
probably be even harder than that, uh, regardless of the fact that I, I, you know, didn't lend
him the same level of support at all. You had Chatters in here calling, uh, saying that
FD was calling you out for making him the face of the movement. Nobody listens to what
Washington, Mormon, I know. Terrorism happens like every six to 18 months in America. And
it's impossible to remain in community or struggle with people who don't seem to mind that, who
always put themselves first, especially when the struggle isn't about them in the first place.
And after half a decade online, I'm tired of seeing this pattern and repeating these same
complaints. But the problem is that this entire space has always catered to a specific type of
white got online and that's what it was built for and what it always probably will be. See,
bread tube emers as a venue to rehabilitate right wing edge lords into leftist progressives,
all after the rise of the alt right. It has always had an extremely high tolerance for what
grand platner is because he just liked them for real. And why not every aspect of bread tube has
catered to this reformed edge lord redditro art type? It's clear that this element of the space
remains influential and often sets the tone for the space because even if these types don't make
up the largest part of our audiences, they're almost always the loudest part, always the most
online and the most active of the bunch. So let's talk about some drama for a bit. For years,
I have not responded to drama publicly and any drama from other creators whose opinions I don't
care about, you haven't heard me talk about it publicly. And the reason for this is people don't
care. People don't care about petty squabbles or swing creators that agree with each other 90% of the
time. None of this is really material to any useful action toward free Palestine or any
social issue that you might care about. So rarely do I dedicate time to it.
And also people will, people will couch a lot of, a lot of content creators, like their entire
thing is just their output, right? Which is content. And if they actually swing in the
direction of drama, if they start swinging their content in the direction of drama,
they start generating a lot of value, they start, you know, generating revenue off of that.
And obviously, if they're a political commentator, they can't simply be only the drama channel.
So they have to put a layer of political criticism on top of the actual drama that they're engaging in.
And there are a lot of people who do this. I try to stay away from this all the time.
Unfortunately, YouTube monetized it, but let's be real. There are a shit ton of content creators
I'm not gonna name any fucking names. Okay, there are shit ton of content creators who almost entirely focus on drama and
They simply add a little bit of political shine to it to make it seem like there are you know serious political disagreements here
And this is a serious advocacy and and you know, these are
these are very important disagreements that must be addressed. What in fact all
they're doing is shit-stirring, lying about you know the background of
individuals and adding a good deal of you know adding a good deal of like click
chasing and click baiting into the process. Okay?
They moralize the drama and oftentimes the drama is not even about political
disagreements. It's about personal grievances that they cannot simply come out and admit
is a personal grievance. You do this too. There's not a single person that I've ever
done this to. And as a matter of fact, the evidence of that is even at times when I've
agreed with something that Destiny has said, and that motherfucker has spent the last seven
years of his entire life trying to focus every single bit of his political output on doing
exactly what I just said. If someone, even if I despise them, if someone is on the right
side of an issue, if someone is on the right side of an issue and they come out and it's
the broken clock situation, I will say it. Okay.
Yeah. You don't do this to Ben Shapiro. Yeah, I don't, I don't just thrive off
drama and they can't attract an audience. Otherwise I am not one of those creators.
So I want to apologize upfront to the vast majority of people who will watch
this and have no clue where this is coming from. But with that in mind,
I won't be naming names, and to be clear, a lot of the things I'm going to say aren't
going to be intended explicitly towards a few people, and it's more so me responding
to a problem I've been seeing forever in the space as a whole.
But before I even go there, let me clarify some things.
I am unequivocally a supporter of a free Palestine.
I see Palestine as a colonized nation, and no, I do not think Israel has a right to exist
because it is an imperial project and cannot exist as anything but an imperial project.
I do not even condemn Hamas.
And I've had this stance on decolonization for years.
If you pay attention, I don't know if this is a shocking thing to hear me say.
It's only that, probably, if you have been paying attention.
But a lot of y'all only...
Mmm, we'll get there.
You cannot put limitations on how colonized people fight their oppressors.
So, no, I won't condemn Hamas the same way I wouldn't condemn the Mao Mows in Kenya,
or the Nectar and the slave rebellions, or the Haitian Revolution, or the IRA in Ireland.
Ireland, all of these entities were called terrorists at the time of their existence by their oppressors, and all are recognized as liberation movements today, despite the ugliness those movements may have existed in.
And I believe Hamas will eventually be seen in the same light. I would love if violence didn't have to occur. And there are anti-colonial movements that do happen to occur with minimal violence.
But it's not fair to call any anti-colonial violence senseless because it is a direct response to the condition that the colonized are living under.
And the thing to keep in mind is that Palestinians didn't just start getting genocide by Israel on October 7, 2023.
Now, I've seen people say that I've said nothing about the genocide in three years.
And those people do not watch me.
I've expressed my support for Palestine in multiple videos across multiple channels.
One thing I'm really interested in with Palestine right now is because there's very obviously
bad faith actors trying to involve themselves in all sides of the issue.
Oh shit, it's 4,000 people in here.
What the fuck?
Let's talk about Palestine, motherfuckers.
There are students across the country at college campuses protesting and putting their personal
lives and futures in jeopardy for free Palestine.
There are professors getting arrested and detained right up the street from where I live at this
point at Emory University.
and racist, Glimbeck is a racist, God's ship was getting bombed.
Obama didn't say shit.
The loop they be asked going the biggest rappers in the world, low key,
say free Palestine way back in 2011.
Yes, yes, he did.
But my content is made for black people and the people I'm talking about
usually are not black.
And so some of these newfound critics will just lie and say I've been silent.
And this is being used to paint me as a person who is both
sizing a genocide or a liberal Zionist or a fellow Semite.
I have very purposely never presented myself as a key voice on
Palestine, which I don't think anyone sincerely is asking me for, but that has
allowed for, I'll say, unprincipled people to make up narratives about my
position when I dare to say something as bold as, hey, maybe don't use Nazi dog
whistles because you have an agreement with someone on Twitter. And instead of
acknowledging that reasonable and extremely low bar of decency in this
space, folks would rather accuse me of being a liberal
Zionist. And I think the only reason why this FD doesn't care
about Palestine narrative has gotten legs, because I didn't
make a definitive FD-signified Palestine video on my main
channel. And some may see that as a lack of conviction, so let
me clear that up as well. First, I want to engage with this
idea that a video on Palestine would have been bad for my
channel in some form or fashion. And this is just not based in
reality. In fact, the opposite is true. Palestine videos,
especially two years ago, we're very popular. Sean's Palestine video two years ago is the second most watched video of the last five years. And even today, videos in the genocide can pull in good views. You never know how the how much longer does he talk about like his own personal background? Because I know if these takes, I know his position on this, he's just like addressing the drama. And I don't know if it's like pertinent to
to the conversation that we're having about Grand Platinum.
And you guys should watch the video.
I mean, you've already got almost 500,000 views.
Is the rest of it just drama, like, related, where he's just, like, discussing his perspective in general?
What are you looking for? I'll give you a timestamp.
Oh, yeah, Oni edited this. Oni, is the rest of it just, is the rest of it not about Platinum?
Racism isn't drama. No, racism isn't drama. But he's talking about the racism attacks
that he's receiving that, and I'm watching this video specifically on his accurate assessment
on, his accurate assessment on, on Graham Platten or the red flags and why a lot of people
don't see it. A lot of people stream on here just watching you. I don't get why they even
stream? What? I don't know. Mike.
So they get advertised AI girlfriends and Prager you in between me talking about political
prisoners and black revolutionaries.
It's just felt gross further in the aftermath.
I was somehow branded as a prison reform expert.
Like I remember having people reach out to me to play themselves, but don't say, go
back to 21.
to make up for his past sins and my rehab is trying to say distorted and you literally
cannot fix it.
I know that a lot of these white leftists have zero shame, zero self-awareness and zero
interest in actual coalition building on this platform if it means they might have to dissenter
themselves and that brings me back to Plattener.
Plattener is popular because he's bread-tooth personified.
He is the former edge lord rehabilitated into the hero for oppressed people to make up for
his past sins.
And mind you, every piece of anti-colonial liberation theory that you will ever read
will tell you that the colonized must free themselves, but don't tell that to your favorite
breadtuber or favorite breadtube fan, because they'll swear that it's THEM BEST THE KEY
TO LIBERATION FOR INSERT OF THE ROOP HERE.
But further, Platinum shows the failure of the American Left presenting a principled
anti-Zionist stance to a larger general public.
I've noticed in my personal life and online that there's an horizon when I'm going to
describe as America first anti-Zionism.
And normally when I make up a new term, I like want credit for it, but like, please do not
repeat.
I'm positive.
There's somebody more worthy, some actual Palestinian scholar that is saying the exact
same thing I'm saying.
So like find them and give them credit for that term, but Platter is a perfect example
of what that is.
Yeah.
The one thing I will say, the one thing I will say is this.
We are all victim to our environment, okay?
And what we see and what we do, it shapes our reality, it shapes our worldview.
And sometimes we end up engaging an analysis that might betray a broader systemic factor
that's not being seen.
I will stand by the notion that I have over and over again, that I've repeated over and
over again.
is not a product of the online left.
Graham Plattner was hand selected by,
I guess, the fight agency.
But, having said that,
what made Graham Plattner popular was not the online left.
The online left, majority report myself,
if you consider me to be a major booster,
Graham Plattner, Pod Johns,
these people have a lot of influence.
But they cannot make or break elections,
no matter how big or small.
Graham Plattner became a national figure because
people in Maine voted for him, liberals in Maine voted for him.
And this is very important to identify and understand.
We have to recognize this because
That is who voted for Graham Plattner and that's who might even still do this they want Graham Plattner to remain in the race
Okay, I
Don't think this was I don't think Graham Plattner is
You know was was carried in the victory by the breadtubers or majority report or myself or or any number of different people
right
unless you personally think
Like, if your argument is this on, you've done Grant Plattner, you're the reason why
Grant Plattner ran, you're the reason why this issue is happening, you found him, you
hand selected him, you work for the fight agency, whatever, right?
If that's like your assessment, and there are some who are maybe leaning into that direction
a little bit, okay?
What you have to remember is, do you think I have, or do you think Majority Report has
captivated the minds of every 65-plus-year-old college-educated white suburbanite in Maine.
Do you think that's the reason why Graham Platner is successful? Because they were all locked in
on the Majority Report. Or do you think that there was genuine momentum behind his candidacy
at a time when people were looking for someone to express their left populace rage?
Okay? The reason why this is very important, the reason why this is very important to identify
is because the replacement has to in some way shape or form embody that left populist rage.
Because if that doesn't happen, a lot of people are going to be very frustrated and
they're not going to vote and they're going to think, oh, they rat fucked him. And I think
that there are a lot of people, there are a lot of people in Maine that probably don't
even want him to drop out. We've seen that on Twitter. Everyone's like, Grand Platter,
you got to drop out on blue sky. They're doing victory laps. Okay. Put on, on Instagram,
on Facebook, where the normies are, they fucking love Graham on Tik Tok comments. People are
saying, you shouldn't drop out, king. This is, you know, this is an Israel concocted narrative.
Okay? They're saying that shit's fake.
Politicians are calling him to drop out, but the voters are saying remain in the race, king. Okay?
That's important. That's important to understand. That's important to identify. Not this, I'm not
saying this is correct. I'm not saying this is good, okay? What I'm saying, what I'm saying is this.
That's how much legitimacy he was able to garner.
That's how much there is an appetite for a change candidate that people
paired up with their lack of interest due to patriarchal constructs, their lack of interest in
and recognizing a rape victim when they see one, right?
And the amount of influencing power a white man has,
the amount of Teflon that a white male candidate clearly has,
especially when they come from a veteran background
where people are just like, that's my fucking guy.
I will ride into the depths of hell.
That's why I've said ironically enough,
This is the true liberal Trump, okay?
This is the true liberal Trump in candidacy.
But we have to take note of where the success came from, and we have to factor that into
who the replacement should be.
Because while he does claim to want to stop A from Israel, he also wants to improve military
recruitment so he is not against American imperialism like you might think which undermines
any anti-Israeli stance he holds and that's typical of pretty much all the Democrats right now.
The sad reality is that the Democratic Party and the alleged progressive leaders in America
have allowed themselves to be outmaneuvered on Zionism by the likes of Tucker Carlson and Margie
Taylor Greene. Who, unlike anti-Zionists on the left, are in fact obvious anti-Semites. Tucker
Carlson is a crypto-white supremacist who has spent years trying to normalize a great replacement
theory, and Margie Teller Green is a former QAnon adherent who brought us Jewish space lasers
and believes in blood light, yet both are being mainstreamed in a way that I wouldn't have thought
possible just a few years ago. People like Carlson and Green have infinitely more reach and influence
than any of your favorite breadtubers, and thus they have been able to frontline this American
first anti-Zionism, and it's become a popular position. It feels like for the first time ever,
This is a good thing, and I'll explain why in a second, anti-Zionism is a popular sentiment to hold.
But anti-Zionism that is America first is letting America off the hook for its role in that genocide.
I've had a lot of people, both online and in my encounters in real life, smart people say something
along the lines of, Israel is controlling America. And no, the tail does not wag the dog. Israel is
a settler colonial project built on genocide and mass murder. America is a settler colonial project
built on genocide and mass murder, among other things. Game recognized game. There are, of course,
Zionists in American government and plenty of Zionists who are at the helm of powerful American
institutions. And our current president does seem uniquely compromised in his ability to not be
influenced, not just by Israel, but everyone. Like, it's everybody gets a piece of our president.
But please believe that confidence of power between Israel and Zionists in America is not
some secret, like, mystical thing, that's just how power and capitalists have always worked.
One example of this America-first anti-Zionism is like, people often say America was forced or
tricked into a war with Iran due to Israel, but this ignores the history of hostility America has
had with Iran. Iran, as a sovereign strong nation, has been able to withstand American influence and
thus, impede on America's dominance of that region and the resources that Iran controls,
even with Israel sitting at Iran's doorstep. And Israel, because of its Zionist nature,
has always wanted to attack Iran, along with everyone else in that region for years. But for
the longest, America has not allowed them to, because most American presidents fully understood
that we probably can't win a war with Iran, which if you're paying attention is clearly correct.
But that doesn't mean that we didn't desire to do the exact same thing Israel did.
This is why you see so many other American politicians wanting more action from America
in Iran, low key on both sides of the aisle. America is not just allowed but has encouraged
Israel to be exactly what it is for decades at this point. It's just that this time around,
Palestinians were able to show the world what is happening to them. And I want to be clear,
Palestinians do not care and should not care how they get free or who in America is going to bring
them to that point. If they get free because of a right-wing regime ushered in by Turca calls and
decides to act on their innate hatred of Jewish people and pull support from Israel, that's an
us problem. That's not a them problem. There's a great short essay from Laith Marouf. Again,
I apologize if I got that wrong. When he's responding to a recent interview where Norm
Finkelstein basically says exactly what I'm saying here, Marouf comes back to reiterate that none of
that is a Palestinians concern. Marouf says literally, why is it so hard to believe that
but America first could actually be Israel last.
So if the left, and by that,
I don't just mean us here on YouTube,
although we are somewhat to blame,
if the left can't present a crystal clear principle stance
against Zionism to combat the nationalistic
and ultimately fascist version that's taken to hold
everywhere, including somewhat on the left,
then we're fucked and we deserve it.
I don't like how Hassan is framing the situation.
This is the online left that has no responsibility
in platforming, planning, or in a positive way,
regardless of how main voters voted.
It's just a lack of accountability.
It's my least favorite statement.
It's my least favorite word.
And I know people will click this and be like,
oh, yes, see, he hates accountability.
It just doesn't mean anything.
Okay?
It just doesn't mean anything.
Like, what do you mean?
Hold, like, I say it too at times.
But like, what does it mean?
What would accountability look like?
Like, what would you want me to do?
What would you want?
I don't know, like majority were going to do,
because I saw pieces of Emma's takes earlier,
where she did hold herself accountable.
Like she said, look, I apologize,
I was duped by this person to a certain degree.
I really pushed for this person.
But like in my situation, it's like,
like what do you want me to not cover
the fucking main Senate race at all?
Calling out the Nazi tattoo,
why did so many people minimize that?
wait, but I did do that. So what? I did numerous tweets, numerous extensive hours of coverage.
So so what do you? What do you want me to do about that? Like answer clearly, use, use
your words like what what would you like me to do about that? That was actually a big
part of my criticism as well. So, I think for a lot of people it turns into, I think
for a lot of people it basically turns into like this whole thing where it's like, I want
you to satisfy my needs. Like I'm watching this video because there were red flags that
I myself also overlooked in terms of in an effort to maintain some kind of like stable
left populist momentum, right? Not overlooked necessarily, because I did bring them up,
but it wasn't enough for me to be like, fuck this guy. And if you were asking,
if you're asking me to say, fuck this guy, when the alternative was Susan Collins or Janet Mills,
I wasn't going to do that, right? There's a level of build-up that we had to reach for me to say that.
Okay. Does that make sense? I mean, this is something that I've made, I think, very clear.
Something that I've made very clear over and over again is that there is a level of
of, there's a level of like accusation pylon, especially where it's coming from is also
important because a lot of these accusations weren't just coming from the anti-imperialist
left flank, some of the ultras in this community, some of the wreckers in this community who
were actually saying unhinged things as opposed to like reasonable critique.
But yeah, I mean, this is, this is me talking about his tattoo, you know, a platter being
an aunty.
Yes, of course, I'll be speaking about that as well.
You think this community is going to let me live that down?
Are you kidding me?
My most ethical voting decision in Maine, it is to me, okay?
I've already made my most.
So I think people are rightfully mad that you dismissed the New York Times allegations,
especially considering Raskot has mentioned in the name in the article.
I stand by that. You actually did defend the tattoo at the time, but there isn't anything
I or any of us should demand you do. Yeah, no, I stand by that. The New York Times report.
Should we go back to the New York Times reporting on RASCO?
And no, I did not defend the NOSCAT too.
Should we go back and read the New York Times report on RASCO?
Do you guys want to go through that again?
Because the New York Times literally said it was worrying.
That's it.
That RASCO had a troublesome, the New York Times report said RASCO had a troublesome
experience. They did not put down the credible accusations of rape the RASCO made in the
political report. If the New York Times, as a matter of fact, ironically enough, at the
time I said, if the New York Times report had a credible accusation of rape, that would
be an irredeemable red line. I don't think you remember my coverage of the New York Times
report. And it wasn't just even about Roscoe. I said that there was a Republican operative,
right, Feefield, who had made accusations, the primary accusations of the New York Times
report anchored around. And those accusations, according to the New York Times own assessment,
did not reach that standard. According to Peefield's own assessment, did not reach that
same standard. And if I, and at the time I said, look, regardless of whether Peefield
is a Republican operative or not, if she had contemporaneous conversations at the time
with a serious accusation of rape, then that would be the red line that would be considered
irredeemable. I was very clear on this. It wouldn't even matter that she is a Republican
operative at that point because that would be a red line. That'd be an irredeemable red line.
Hold on.
Sorry.
In any case, this was the white fatigue.
clear here as the streams, uh, myself, Sean, the black, a lot of the black folks.
We have explained this to y'all before. That's the real black fatigue that like literally that
is what black fatigue actually is. Is black folks being tired of hat? He literally had rape
allegations before this why are being up to us now no he didn't he did not what
where what are you talking about I said what I said y'all this was a blind spot
for y'all in the space I'm speaking from my experience of black men who see
shit like this and understand what the space shows with PLC he did where is
where is the rape out no no no no no you can say you were skeptical because
you've seen you know charismatic white men doop a lot of people that's fair
That's what FD signifiers assessment is. Okay? But you can't say there was already like credible rape allegations and people just overlooked it.
Where were the credible rape allegations? You can't just like drop that in here.
The political article that actually solidified this reporting unironically also reported that there were no rape allegations against Grand Plattener up until that reporting.
up until yes or up until 24 hours ago there were no uh credible rape allegations or rape allegations at all
so where are you coming from with this
having to explain racism to white people
let's get into this nonsense good morning everyone
good morning
So, I haven't actually watched any of the coverage. I've just seen the aftermath.
Okay, 48 minutes long.
And it's just a stream comp, right?
I'll wait for a cleaned up version of this.
But, um, I will be watching the debate live. Whoever said planner was the face of the movement. That's mum down in my head.
Yeah. As a black woman who's skeptical of him the whole time he did not have rape allegations. As soon as the New York Times article I came out, I knew it was coming.
I knew he likely did it during his time terracing people in the Middle East. It needs to be okay for people to say, I found out more information. I was wrong. I'll be more cautious in the future.
Yeah, well, that's why I'm watching the the fd signifier video, right? Anyway, uh,
Zora Mamdani was asked about, uh
Grand Platinum earlier today, and he of course also said that Grand Platinum should drop out, obviously. I
wanted to ask, given that you have a sort of ascendant role in the Democratic Party,
could you talk about the main Senate race?
Do you think that Grand Platinum should drop out of the race and do you have any intention of endorsing any candidates in
Incompetitive races outside of New York,
Al Said or anyone else?
I believe that it's time for him to drop out of the race.
And when it comes to my own endorsements,
I've made eight endorsements at the state and federal level.
They've all been right here in New York City.
I'm incredibly excited at the fact that they won their races
and that's where my focus is for now.
My focus always got some shit to say and drip to where.
Okay, I'm sick and tired of it.
I'll say it.
I'm sick and tired of it.
You got to redistribute the drip, my man.
You can't just be wearing the drip just by yourself,
all on your own, lonesome, OK?
What kind of socialism is this shit?
What kind of socialism is this shit?
It turns out I am now a reactionary conservative.
It turns out they were right, OK?
It turns out they were fucking right.
The Republicans were right. Socialism only means the tippy top gets the drip. Nobody else.
Yeah, drip for me, not for thee.
You know, I think the focus of today should be to respond to the gravity of what so many of us
have read. And I think that the only appropriate response is for the campaign to come to an end.
We turn now to a stunning new
allegation rocking a pivotal
contest for the US Senate in November.
Main Democratic nominee
Graham Platner is accused of
rape by a woman he once stated.
Acclaimed Platner denies at
least 13 Democrats are now calling
on Platner to drop out of the race.
Caitlin Huey Burns is on Capitol Hill.
Caitlin, good morning.
Good morning to you, Natalie.
Well, Graham Platner is vigorously
denying this allegation,
but he did say he is taking time
time to reflect on the path forward and Democrats in Maine and across the country are calling
on him to drop out ahead of a key ballot deadline just days away.
Graham Plattner once considered a rising star in the Democratic Party now facing an allegation
of sexual assault from a woman he had alleged to have dated five years ago.
Jenny Rasekot told Politico she first met Plattner in 2019 and that the-
Isn't it fucking weird that there wasn't this level of outrage from people like Shannon Watson near and tannin at Eric Swalwell?
I wonder why yeah because
for the record
For the record
Neurotandon is a massive Clinton booster. She worked with the Clintons her whole life
Okay, they don't give a shit about rape allegations if it's their guy
We care about it, right
They don't have any fucking consistency. Get the hell out of here.
What are we doing?
They wrote for Andrew Cuomo against Zora Mamdani.
Speaking of Zora Mamdani, new AP polling on Jewish Americans,
Mumdani, 44% favorable, 39% unfavorable. Mumdani is at a plus five with American Jews,
Netanyahu is at a minus 27 with American Jews, and Trump is at a minus 42 with American Jews.
Hmm.
Interesting.
Yeah. Replace Zoram Mamdani with the word Israel and it's not so funny is it? That's right.
Replace the names Zoram Mamdani with anti-Semitism and all of a sudden you see a very different picture. Not so funny is it?
How about that?
30% of Jewish adults say Israel is committed genocide although about half 49% say it has not.
This is being base-boosted
generationally.
Easy explanation, 30% of those surveyed are imbeciles.
This guy says,
How crazy is it that about one third of America's a massive erosion AP North Pole about three
and ten US adults believe Israel's committed a genocide against the Palestinians?
Devastating numbers, by the way, for the truth, devastating numbers. Americans are still by
and large the most propagandized population, like North Korea levels straight up. Like
What we perceive is happening in North Korea is unironically happening in America.
And it's far more sinister in some respects because it's not so like, uh,
direct and deliberate and flagrant, right?
It's just like people genuinely think that there is no propaganda that's at
play here, uh, which makes it somehow more, um, insidious.
Also speaking of propaganda, we haven't carried the flame in a couple of days.
Uh, it is at, we're at level three on a hype train right now.
you want to carry the flame, please subscribe, which you can do for $6 or for free. Okay,
you can subscribe for $6 or for free or by gifting a sub. Uh, level three hype training,
level 10 hype training, we carry the flame as always. Um,
let's continue was consensual until one night in 2021 when she alleges,
his partner came to her home uninvited, forced her to have sex after she repeatedly told
him to stop.
She told Politico Plattner it was, quote, almost blackout drunk and said, quote, I remember
the specific moment where I thought to myself, like, this is no longer my choice.
In a separate interview with CNN, Rasekot claimed she feared for her safety.
He violated multiple layers of consent.
Haya.
That night.
Haya.
Coming into my home.
What do you do?
and by advancing on me when I told them not to.
Lattner, after postponing campaign events in recent days, responded in a video Monday afternoon.
I wanted to direct the address to the troubling, serious, and false allegations against me.
Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorical.
Here's another thing that we found out, okay? You know how we found out
that there is no real viable constituency of anti-Israel, anti-war sentiment on the right.
You know how simply being anti-Israel is not gonna carry to a victory if Donald Trump was
against you, as we saw with the Thomas Massey equation? There is no liberal Trump,
at least for the time being, okay? Because this is the liberal Trump moment,
And the liberal voters, in my opinion, will probably crater in their support for Grant
Plattener after this accusation.
And therefore, it turns out, you can't have serious rape accusation as a liberal that
is also an outsider too, when the institutions are not defending you and the institutions
have their knives out for you anyway.
You're not going to be able to pull a trump, okay?
You're not going to be able to pull a Trump, which I don't think is a bad thing for the
record. I just want to state my position on this. It's not a bad thing. That is a good
thing.
New York Times reporting that backs up your claims about the viewpoint of main voters.
Of the nearly two dozen Democrats interviewed in the state of, in the state on Tuesday,
most said they expected Mr. Platten to drop out of the race. Most said it was the right
course. His ideas were great, but he has way too much baggage now, said John Murray, 80
years old, a retired male carrier from SACO. But several, including Mr. Murray said they
would probably stick with Mr. Platner 41 if he opted the remain on the ballot. The deadline
for the candidate to formally withdraw from the race is Monday. We'd vote for a swamp
frog, or anyone that defeats Susan Cosmester Murray said."
Is it fair to say this only should have known this would happen? I mean, the only people
I think that should have known this would happen were the people who did not sufficiently
and thoroughly investigate Graham Plattner's background.
Let's be real.
I think a lot of people that saw Graham Plattner deliver a speech in a very convincing manner
where they fell in love with him.
They were like, this guy has unbelievable talent in comparison to what Maine normally
has.
has the look, the build, the CV that is obviously not great for our perspective, but certainly
something that Maynard's responded positively to. And that was it. Because I don't see any reason why
people try to make it seem as though, like, Grant Plattner was not an effective communicator. I don't
I don't know why people make this argument for some reason like he, as I've said time
and time again regardless of skepticism or scrutiny, very clearly was connecting with
main voters.
And the reason why he was able to do that is because he was a very effective communicator.
That's it.
Yeah, coming out of the gate swinging with a Bernie endorsement day one obviously frame one also helped them
But guess what guys it didn't help them as much as it helped out or it didn't help Abdul al-sayed in the same way
This was always a tale of two races from my perspective
And I always made that comparison
Abdul Al Sayed also started early. Abdul Al Sayed also started frame one with a Bernie endorsement,
and yet Abdul Al Sayed did not get the national attention until Hailey Stevens and Mallory
McMorah, more importantly than Hailey Stevens, came out and started yelling at Abdul Al Sayed
because he had made the, at the time they thought it was an unwise decision, turns out it was a
very wise decision, made the decision to campaign alongside a dangerous radical like myself.
That's when that campaign became a national campaign.
That's when people started paying close attention to Abdul Al-Sid.
So why is it that Abdul Al-Sid did not get that national recognition?
That is ironically what FD Signifier was pointing to.
Is Abdul not charismatic? Of course he is.
And on top of that, he had the background. He had the experience.
So why did he not get the same recognition?
Two candidates, two Senate races.
Two candidates, two Senate races.
What gifts?
He is no planner in regards to charisma. I think you're wrong.
Are you kidding me? He's great.
Have you listened to his stump speech? It's fantastic.
It's just as exciting.
as Graham Plattner's is.
This is also the Abdul story, though he started with a leg up because he'd run before and had
a different resume, town halls everywhere, making himself much more available and visible to Dems
than Steven's McMurray did this too. It just didn't work as well. No, I, I did screw it.
David a little bit with Wigel a little bit. Okay. I think a large part of Platinum's success in
the primary beyond expressing what his mainstream Dem view on Gaza was holding town halls, laying
out his views and answering questions after questions. Rare for polls to do that. He did
that 80 plus agreed. But so did Abdul. So why was Abdul's chances nowhere near as good
as Grand Platoners was. I think it's because a lot of people don't pay
attention to radical candidates that embody that carry that populist rage
in their attitude, in their policy, when those candidates aren't. White guys, it's
true? This was my primary point that I made over and over again. And there are still racist
motherfuckers in the centrist democratic forces, the pro-Israel forces that are trying to say
Abdul doesn't have the juice, saying that Abdul doesn't have the credentials, the background.
He has too many red flags, they say. What are those red flags? We ask what those red flags are.
And there's never a decent answer for it beyond taking the long road home to say he's Muslim and brown.
Okay?
That's it.
That's it.
Anyway, let's get back to the story, we're false.
The oyster farmer and marine veteran is no-st-
He's very phalennial coded to be fair, uh, Abdul, yes, but that's, uh, not a, that's
not a negative, that's a positive.
I mean, Zoran was too.
This is the age of the phalennial folks.
While I find some of those instincts to be cringy, I think wine moms have a very different
attitude.
Okay?
Let's be real, Zoran did a good number, a good deal of Faleniel stuff as well.
I think it is absolutely the age of the Faleniel.
For good reason we're skipping generation lead poisoning.
campaign, he faced scrutiny over a tattoo he later covered up after critics said it resembled a Nazi
symbol and claims of toxic behavior from alleged previous romantic partners. Plattner has denied
those allegations but said during that time he had been struggling with undiagnosed PTSD and was
self-medicating with alcohol. Regardless of the inaccuracy of the reporting, but mindful of political
the U. S. Senate. The U. S.
Senate is not going to be
able to make sure that the
federal reality won't flex. We
are taking the time to reflect
on the best path forward. Now
this is one of those key races
that could help determine which
party has control of the U. S.
Senate and the pressure is
building here on Platinum to
drop out. Get this. He has
until July 13th to drop out of
the race and then the state
Democratic Party in Maine could
pick his replacement to take
13th is next week. The clock is ticking. Thank you, Caitlyn. CBS News political contributor,
rather, Democratic strategist, that's Joe Payne, joins us now from Washington.
Joe, you know, many Democrats who stood by him are now saying he's got to go. Elizabeth Warren,
Ro Khanna. And then some are looking at the Democrats and saying, why did it take this
for you all to finally say he's got to go? What do you think is going to happen now?
Well, look, the hill is very high for her platter to scale to stay in the race. Not just
national Democrats are speaking out against him, but a lot of local voices, the main democratic
party, some members of the main congressional delegation have called for platinum to step
aside and look, these, these allegations are damning and they're serious. And, you know,
I think that what a lot of Democrats are wrestling with right now is how did we get here? I think
we got here because a candidate caught fire and really built a brand in the state.
These guys are smaller head than you. I think is really inappropriate that you guys have
this kind of attitude every time someone has broad shoulders. Okay. I think it's messed
up. You guys see a broad-shouldered individual and you immediately assume that their head
size is tiny. It's not. Okay. It's not the case. This is a perspective issue. Okay. And
It's a significant issue and I'm sick and tired of it.
I'm sick and tired of it, okay?
What is this?
Glad you finally got your first lead acting.
Wide shoulders equals wide bed from my husband's short film.
Okay, this might be literally age restricted.
I'm not going to watch it.
And really built trust with voters.
This is not a candidate who is someone who was placed in this position by national
donors or, you know, national influencers as someone who really caught on locally.
Um, and when you have that and you have an,
thank God someone is making that assessment. Jesus Christ. It's, it's definitely one that
is unfortunately lost in the tit for tat shit slinging battle that's been taking place over
the last 24 hours of this news cycle. Everyone has taken this, this credible rape accusation
and has used it to to pull out their I told you so's back and forth
When no one for some fucking weird reason one understands the significance of this
The the significance of this problem right for the Senate majority because the Senate majority means
Investigations accountability hurdles in front of the Trump administration, right?
like that's that's an absolute necessity. I cannot stress this enough, okay?
And the other problem is that if you don't recognize what forces gave Graham Plattner his
his national prominence, if you simply think it's like, you know, leftist car-heart-wearing
phonies who know what the working class truly is. If you think that that's the case, then
you're failing to comprehend the hundreds of thousands of mayors that voted for him
from not that background, right? It's incredibly stupid.
All that remains for grand planners to make the reasonable and consider a choice and not
follow his own short-sighted selfish desires.
Imagine getting rid of your Nazi tattoo for nothing, bros, probably piss. He's like, dude, that's why emotional support Nazi tattoo, you fucking asshole.
and he's not just a
political and political
political party. He's not just
a political and political
mass. So. Fantastic candidate
who's never been vetted
nationally. These are the types
of things that a lot of
Democrats fear could happen.
Well, and he has been leading
in the polls against Republican
Susan Collins Joel so, and he's
already won the primary. But
what would the process look like
then if the Democrats would
choose to go with another
candidate, as you said, the
He's gotten until July 13th to decide whether or not to drop out of the race.
And then there's a two-week period until July 27th, where local Democrats could choose
somebody to replace Plattener on the ticket.
Now, there are already rumblings of the types of folks who could potentially replace him.
Someone like Troy Jackson, who was a Democratic candidate for governor recently, Narav Shah,
who's also a candidate for local office, are some of the names.
And of course, there's Janet Mills, who Plattener defeated in a Democratic primary, who's the
the sitting governor of the state right now as well.
Those are some of the folks who people are discussing.
I think what's challenging here for Democrats is making sure
that if there is a change in candidate on the ballot,
that main voters are people who have actually the say.
This is not a decision that's put upon main voters,
but this is a decision that comes from main voters.
And I think that's a priority for a lot of folks
who are thinking about what happens next.
All right, Joel Payne, thank you.
A woman who dated main US Senate candidate Graham Plattner.
What happens if one he doesn't drop out, does he still win or lose by a landslide to?
What happens if they put a centrist Democrat back in the race?
I suspect that he's using the threat of staying in the race to make sure that they don't fucking
navigate.
Uh, they don't, the essential Democrats don't put like a fucking dog shit candidate who
will literally lose the support of the ground.
Like, I cannot stress this enough.
Look, it doesn't matter.
This is not about Graham Platner, right?
He's out.
That's clear.
But if they, if the Democrats come in and they're like, well, it's Janet Mills time,
I cannot begin to explain to you how bad that will be because it'll be a two for one.
A lot of people that voted for Grand Planner will not vote for Janet Mills, because they
voted against Janet Mills.
They voted for Grand Planner, okay?
Like I cannot do, this is literally, this is unique, my unique fresh hell, okay?
My unique fresh hell, specifically because this is not one, but two different Kamala
Harris 2.0 situations.
And maybe even a taste of Hillary Rodham Clinton, okay, my hair is out of control.
There's two scenarios here, both in Maine and Michigan, where the Democrats are salivating
at the fucking prospect of pulling another operation where they just do a no primary,
hand-selected Democratic establishment candidate, okay?
That's what's going on here.
Terrifying prospect.
Terrifying prospect.
had his back, baby. Yeah. Anyway, let's take a look at Senator Bernie Sanders.
After woman came forward in recent hours accusing main Senate candidate, Graham Plattner, in
a 2021 sexual assault, several top Democrats asking Plattner to get out of the race. And
now we're hearing from Senator Bernie Sanders. Wait, did something happen with Abdul? No,
They're just trying to use the Platinum situation to fucking, uh, shit-sling at Abdull.
Um, it's insane.
Um, but they are literally trying to...
Um, they are...
Literally trying...
To, to put Hailey Stevens in there, who is basically Hillary Rodham Clinton, basically Kamala Harris.
Both of these people lost Michigan to Trump.
Okay.
Vermont Independent Center who confirms
he got on the phone to talk to Platner today
and asked Platner to step aside.
The new allegations reported by Politico and CNN
made by Jenny Rassico.
She's a 41 year old woman who dated Platner five years ago.
Claims he forced her to have sex despite objecting.
He violated multiple layers of consent that night
by coming into my home when I asked him not to,
and by advancing on me when I told him not to.
So let's talk about it live to CBS News
political director, Finn Gomez, in Washington.
Any response from Team Plattener yet?
No, not yet, as of like, we do know that after the story
first broke, Plattener issued a statement Monday
denying the new allegations from his former
romantic partner, Jenny Rassicoat,
calling them, quote, categorically false,
and issued a campaign video soon after the story first broke.
Planner called the allegations, quote,
troubling, serious, and false, in a statement
and said accusations of non-consensual behavior
as categorically untrue.
The candidate went on to post a video
to social media after the story broke.
Take a listen.
Any accusation of non-consensual behavior
is categorically false.
Regardless of the inaccuracy of the reporting,
and mindful the political reality will inflict.
We are taking the time to reflect on the best path forward
for the state that I love, the people that I love,
the movement I belong to,
and the goal of defeating Susan Collins.
He also acknowledged what he called
the political reality surrounding the accusation read,
which I find notable.
He's saying it's time to reflect on the best path forward.
He didn't say he's dropping out there,
but he's also stopped short of saying
he's gonna stay in the race,
in which in turn fueled speculation
because the main law gives Democrats only until next Monday, July 13 for Plattener to
withdraw if they want to replace him on the general election ballot to face incumbent Republican
Senator Susan Collins who's running for a sixth term.
And the hope of course by Democrats is to regain Congress and flip the balance of power
in Congress and this is a really crucial race.
So what's the status of the race now?
Let's play this out.
Say Plattener pulls out of the race.
what happens next?
Well, look, I mean, right after the news first broke, you know, top Democrats, including
Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, concluded the situation in Maine had fundamentally changed,
but the situation had changed there.
Even early backers like progressive congressman, Ro Khanna, who campaigned with them last month,
and Senators Martin Heinrich and Elizabeth Warren, who were close to Plattner, had dropped
their support.
Now, as you mentioned, Senator Bernie Sanders, a top backer, weighed in instead that he has
spoken with Plattner about the best path forward for Maine in light of these very serious
allegations, and he has recommended that he step aside.
Also notable read that New York City Mayor Mamdani also said today that Plattner should
lead the race.
Many Democrats I spoke to believe that the writing's on the wall here, and it's a long
list of Democrats, from establishment to the progressive wing, who essentially believe,
longer believe the progressive populist candidate can beat Susan Collins, who was once considered
one of the most vulnerable Republicans this cycle. And again, if Biden withdraws by the
state's July 13 deadline, Maine Democrats can choose a replacement nominee through the party
process rather than holding another vote. Voters would not be involved. They have up until July
27 to make that replacement. Then that replacement, of course, would then face Collins in November.
and remember as you mentioned why does this the seat matter so much why does
main
matter so much it's because democrats few main is one of the best
pick up opportunities read as he tried to regain control the senate
the main is a a must win uh... for them
for them and it can be some uh... new developing news
according to the banger daily news
uh... for main senate president troi jackson the progressive progressive
has filed with uh... the fbc on uh... today
to form a Senate exploratory committee becoming the first Democrats to formally campaign for
that spot, according to the paper, if Platner appears to, if he vacates that, that his nomination.
And has a clock to beat to do that. CBS News political director, Finn Gomez. This is yet
another one to watch. Glad you've got your glasses on, Finn. Thank you so much.
President Trump is in Turkey right now. He said this morning he will con...
Oh, yeah. All right. Now let's get to Benjamin Netanyahu, the true president of the United
States of America. Planner can now run in with the pedophilic elite with Trump's camp.
Planner isn't Federman, but he's the fuck. He's fucking the Democrats just the same.
I know. Yeah. The planner is John Federman. Uh, conversation. I, I, I didn't really agree
with because John Fetterman is not John Fetterman pre-stroke, okay? Like, I don't know why people
always try to like tie this stuff together and I think people will obviously continue doing that.
Like, I've seen some people say, oh, you were wrong on Fetterman, you're wrong on
Graham Platner. Like, I've acknowledged that the red flags are John Fetterman. I thought we're just
him trying to avoid the money cannon from APEC. I have mentioned that because I knew
that he was like shaky on Israel, but a lot of people, myself included, made the assessment
that he's probably just trying to not get attacked nonstop.
But as far as John Federman goes, like John Federman literally has gone back on fundamental
planks of his policy platform that pertain to his personal existence.
Undocumented migration, for example. His wife is an undocumented immigrant. His wife was
an undocumented immigrant. He was very pro-immigrant. John Federman post-stroke is literally pro-ice.
The idea that, bro, he said he changed and opposes rape now, why don't we just forgive
him?
I like that.
I know what you're trying to do here.
I know what you're trying to say here, right?
Like, I think redemption, even for someone like that, is possible.
It's just that he has done nothing of the sort.
Okay?
He's done nothing of the sort.
And I know you're going to turn around and say, well, what has he done for redemption
in terms of American militarism or whatever?
He has talked about.
He's talked about his experience and how stupid all of it was and how it was for nothing.
He's denying it.
Like I don't know why people, I don't know why people always fucking make it seem like
a grand planner was running around and being like, I loved, I loved the experience.
I know that he has said something similar in his Reddit posts from many years ago.
But when he was running a campaign, he wasn't like, I loved waging war.
It was the best, exciting, most exciting and the best thing I want to send more people
to go and fucking murder people overseas.
Like, like that wasn't, that wasn't his output at all.
As a matter of fact, if that was his output, I think people will probably be a little grossed
out by it.
You know, I mean, yes, he did low.
No, he didn't.
he did not. He did not. He said he joined for adventure and after his buddies died and you
can also you can also get mad about that too. You can be like well he only cared about it when
you know, he personally, when he personally experienced the death and destruction,
and that's selfish, and I agree with you, okay?
And you can talk about the inconsistency between saying, like, oh, I really didn't like this
experience, but then I fucking joined Blackwater in 2018, which is true, right? That's, that's
ridiculous as a ridiculous claim is an inconsistency that I wanted to personally address his campaign did not want to do this interview
But
But um the idea that like the idea that he was running actively on
On on
You know how awesome like you're making it seem like it was who raw
You know it rather Iraq war was great
Nothing to reflect on. It's awesome and everyone should do it, you know
It's just
Like yeah, he had a lot of red flags part of the part of the reason why I you know
Pointed out the red flags, but did not say that it was completely irredeemable up until now
I've made it very clear is because of the electability
the the electioneering
the, you know, the unfortunate chess piece that he was in the Senate majority, including
the way he communicated on the issue of Israel, on Medicare for All, and numerous other very
good policies, which for the record are unbelievably popular and main as we found out.
I told you guys at the time, I think my my worst assessment
Wait, you're still defending him. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Yo, what's on this done? So fucked is just so fucked
What can you even say at this point? I don't know what I can say to you
That that will help you comprehend that I've literally out of the gates said that he needs to drop out
There is no defending you fucking. What do you want? What do you want?
There's no there's no defending grand planner. I'm not defending grand planner
Okay, I
Don't know how else I can explain
The this like simple concepts to you guys about
Populous policies are what actually carried him to victory in the primary
He was a very good communicator from the perspective of manors
which is what led him to win the primary with a resounding level of success against the candidate that the establishment put together.
Okay?
A guy with a Nazi tattoo was capable of getting Maynard's devotee for him.
against the establishment aggressively pursuing everything that he did, which turns out was filled to the prim with fucking landmines beyond the red flags.
Do you think you have the change in anything in the future?
I think I'll probably extend the arms length beyond even like coming across as I'm defending
certain people that I'm scrutinizing in the future for candidates because I just don't
want the fucking endless back and forth that's taking place right now.
Like I should have just, I literally should have just stuck to just this and never spoke
about it beyond this because my initial analysis and my initial scrutiny and my initial assessment
is correct.
seeing a lot of Libs defend Platinum over the establishment pick Janet Mills because
he has a leftist platform and it seems like they're tired of the status co-electability
arguments of the Dems. Now imagine if you had a candidate who didn't have a Blackwater
CV and a Totem Cough.
When I smell something wrong, when I smell something wrong, I should just continuously
keep that distance, because there are a lot of people who will come in here, there are
a lot of people who will come in here in the process and make like ridiculous arguments,
ridiculous comparisons, and I immediately eat the bait and I immediately start, I immediately
eat the bait and start fucking arguing against the bad argument that someone is presenting.
And then that gets clipped is like, or that turns into you have hours and hours of defending
grand-platiner. That's it. Just coming from another autistic person, I truly think part
of the reason people get mad at you about this is an autistic tone thing. Perfectly,
I understand 100% of your perspective about this, including when you're arguing about
hypotheticals and making broader arguments using platiners as an example, but I think
is not coming across to everyone. Yeah. You see what I mean? People would have been bugging
you literally every day to talk about planning. If you'd maintained this, this doesn't matter.
At the end of the day, I still obviously control what we talk about here. And I do fall for
the I do fall into getting into these arguments over and over again.
Sitter selling F-35 fighter jets to Turkey, which is a reversal of a ban he put in place.
You said yesterday that would, quote, upset the power balance in the Middle East.
Have you made that clear to President Trump?
Yes, I have actually spoke to him several times about it and I think that everybody
understands that notwithstanding the personal friendship that President Trump has with Erdogan,
it doesn't make Turkey a friendly or a friendly state to the United States to the contrary.
Like Benjamin Ennio is not on Fox News, but on Dana Bash, CNN, ZNN, okay?
And what Benjamin Ennio is doing on ZNN is directing American foreign policy, and specifically
American foreign policy that pertains to NATO while addressing a NATO country that's currently
holding the NATO talks as a direct adversary to their interests. Think about how insane this is.
Think about how fucking insane this is. Like this is not weird. This is not a weird situation at all.
we got a foreign country that's dictating American foreign policy on the liberal network,
the supposedly liberal network CNN. And this foreign country that is supposedly a sovereign
nation that relies on us and our tax dollars and our political cover to do the violent things that
is doing with no scrutiny whatsoever, gets to now dictate, gets to now dictate American
foreign policy around an American ally that is a part of an American security partnership,
which I don't like for the record, just so you guys understand my position on this versus
my analysis. I know a lot of people mistake the two sometimes, okay?
He's saying a country with American nukes that is hosting the American NATO conference right now
is bad, and America should reconsider giving that country F-35 fighter jets. What is this?
This was your brief mention in the political video?
The line platinum should drop out of the race. I'm withdrawing my endorsement.
Hassan Piker, the very well-known Twitch streamer, described it as curtains
for Platinum's candidacy and looking, I think specifically at your corroborative work, said,
you know, I believe this allegation based on the work that you do. It feels like at the time of
recording this, there's really no way back for Grand Platinum's campaign here.
Yeah, I mean, it's true. All right. Anyway,
Once again, Assad is talking about the most moral nation in such a negative way. Yes. Yes,
it's fucked up. It's fucked up. I know this is the most moral nation. There's no other way to do
it. It's a regime that's infected with the Muslim Brotherhood, which hates the United States. He
He harbors Hamas, the Hamas terrorists, he supports them, he finances them, he's thrown
his opponents in jail, all of them.
He throws more journalists in jail than anyone can understand, so he's not exactly a model
ally of the United States.
But even worse than that, he threatens Greece, a NATO ally.
He occupies half of Cyprus, another NATO country.
And the most important thing, and I put it right on the table, he threatens to destroy
my country, the one and only jews state, is number two.
Yeah, yeah. Can you believe it, Dana?
Can you believe it? The country that currently maintains an oil and gas pipeline
that is responsible for 80% of my country, israel's energy needs,
actually wants to destroy israel. Can you imagine Dana? The horror.
First of all, if that was the fucking case, he could just literally tweak the faucet.
Okay? He could just go, and shut off the oil and gas pipeline from Azar by John to Israel.
Okay? What the fuck is this guy talking about? If Erdogan was Erdogot, okay,
If he was a real one, that's what he would do.
Says that we have no place among the nations and you know what that means.
And is number three, the Interior Minister says that he's looking forward to be the governor
of Jerusalem.
Hello.
You know, we're a sovereign country.
Yeah, but Prime Minister, the president said this morning that they are-
Does Israel want to be a native?
Fuck no!
require them to even give troop assurances to any other country. And Israel is not doing
that. Okay? Are you fucking kidding me? Israel joining NATO? Great. Yeah, Israel trying to
act like it's more of a NATO than a founding NATO member? Yes. Israel is more NATO now
than America. Okay?
Great friends and not just the two of them, the countries of the United States and Turkey
that Turkey is perhaps a better ally than other so-called allies. So he is considering giving
the country these planes, F-35s. Well, as I said, it would destroy the power balance in the Middle
East because Turkey, I think, has aggressive aspirations. I mean, don't really say that.
Wait, you don't say you don't say Turkey has aggressive aspirations in the Middle East
Dude literally any other country leader says this and there is a valid point. Okay any other country
Fuck it Iran says this and I'm like, okay
Not wrong
Israel is the one country that doesn't get to make that argument. Okay, you are the one country
that does not get to make this argument. Oh, Turkey is far too belligerent and far too aggressive
in its aspirations in the Middle East. That's incredible, dude.
The Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, not only included Turkey, it included many other
countries included Syria and included pieces of Jordan included all of present day Israel
included some Palestine.
That's say it, that's what it was called.
It was called Palestine, motherfucker of countries.
So this is a, this is not a force for peace and stability.
And if you give, you know, this kind of radical regime that admittedly smiles to America when
it is necessary, or smiles to the president of the United States when it is necessary.
When you give him that power, you're going to see aggression in its wake.
I wouldn't do that.
Prime Minister Netanyahu, the conversation that the president is having with Turkey today
is just the latest in moves that he has made that are not making you happy.
He obviously imposed ceasefires in Gaza, in Lebanon, on Iran.
He made you turn fighters back from attacking Iran last summer.
He's told you what you can and can't do in Hezbollah.
You know how I sometimes say like American neo-Nazis that are anti-Semitic and present
themselves as anti-Israel kind of come across as jealous?
It's like projection where they're like, oh, why do Jews get to do this?
Like why do they get to have an ethno state?
Why can't we have a fascist Christian, white Christian ethno-state here in the United States of America?
Like that's what it comes across as when Benjamin Netanyahu goes on CNN and is like Turkey is a very dangerous force
A very belligerent force in the region unlike me unlike Israel
and it's like
and and
Turkey does present a destabilizing factor at the behest of american investment and at the behest of american interest in the region as it's
You know done time and time again, however
Turkey also has its own regional ambitions, right? Out of the one, one of his only
qualities that even his critics will at least recognize as sound, because they also have,
they also operate out of a nationalistic framework. That is the fact that he has maneuvered around
the regional ambitions of Turkey and has been able to utilize the leverage that it gains against
Europe over and over again, the leverage that it has with the United States of America over
and over again. The problem from the Israeli perspective here is that that is making Turkey
an irreplaceable force in the region. And Israel doesn't like that. Israel doesn't like the competition
that Turkey represents for America. The difference between Israel and Turkey, however, is that Turkey
Turkey has the second largest, Turkey one has a massive defense industry, and that massive
defense industry has actually played a major role in Ukraine, for example, the Birek-Tata
drones.
But then besides that, Turkey also has the second largest standing military in NATO.
And Turkey deploys that standing military.
Turkey also trains other troops as well on top of deploying that military both in the
region and potentially anywhere around the world. Israel doesn't have that. Israel does
not have that ambition. Israel will never put Israeli troops in the line of fire if it's
not something that is related to the greater Israel project. This is what makes Turkey
a client state that is technically more valuable than Israel, which is precisely the reason
why Benjamin Netanyahu is chirping here. Okay. Who is calling the shots for Israel? I think
there is a wideness perception of everything you said because a lot of these things, some
of them were not true and some of them were agreed in advance. And some of it, yes, we
had the occasional disagreements. Look, he is the president of the United States. He
He does what is good for the United States.
I'm the prime minister of Israel.
I do what is important for Israel, what is good for Israel.
And most of the time, these things are identical.
I have to commend the president.
He brought a huge American force to counter our common enemy, which is Iran, that chants
death to Israel, death to America.
Had they developed nuclear weapons, if we hadn't acted, they would have them already.
They would eventually use them against America, not only against Israel.
So on the big things, we see eye to eye.
And occasionally we don't, but we're true allies.
They call us the National Security Council issued a memorandum a few months ago.
They called Israel the model ally.
And I can tell you.
Oh, okay.
Nevermind then.
My mistake.
My mistake, big yahoo.
Okay.
Okay. Then if they said so, shit, my bad, bro. Oh, this entire time I was thinking all
Israel does is take, take, take, and then fucking draw America into conflicts that,
you know, they're obviously not totally against, right? But, uh, have, have, uh, devastating
outcomes for Americans and the region and, you know, broadly, broadly the rest of the
world, this energy crisis that took place directed by, uh, you know, Israel's own personal
investment in destroying and destabilizing Iran a nation
with thousands of years of of culture and history in ninety three million
people
you know all of that
i was my mistake
i thought all of that was actually
at odds with uh... any sort of greater american project
it turns out
i was wrong because
you know they they they said it the national security council issued a
memorandum
The National Security Council issued a Memorandum, Dana.
Don't you understand?
The National Security Council issued a Memorandum that said Israel number one.
Fuck.
Hey, you would be dead wrong.
Never think that again.
Exactly.
It's cool, though.
It's cool.
It's wonderful.
Uh, I love to, I love to see the, the truth get, uh, mentioned on
CNN, on CNN. Fantastic. Thank you, sir. Thank you for clarifying a memorandum of you. Yeah,
my, yeah, my mom said I'm the most handsomest boy months ago. They called Israel the model
ally. And I can tell you that human allies can have their differences. But I think America
has no greater ally in the world than Israel. And Israel has no greater ally than the United
States. And I say that with complete recognition of the fact that we sometimes see things a bit
differently. It's natural. You're a big country. You're far away. We're a small country, beleaguered
and close to these regimes that want to destroy us. I want to talk specifically about Iran for a
moment, sir. President Trump said the memorandum of understanding with Iran is probably an
unconditional. There's something really funny about Benjamin Nennyahu's two competing interests.
every time he does a non-contentious interview like this one, that might offer slight criticism
coming from the base Americans broadly, or maybe even at times like JD Vance, right?
On the one hand, he has to sit there and, you know, be the reliable puppy, right? The attack dog
turned into a puppy because he's on American television. He has to present himself a certain
way, but also on the other hand, he is chock full of supremacist values. And therefore,
he wants to say what he truly thinks, which is, how dare you ask me such a fucking question.
I am the most important figure in American politics. Israel is the most important country
on the planet. And you kind of see the cogs turning in his head whenever they ask him
a question where like they'll be like, uh, so what do you think about JD Bay is saying
that the rest of the world has actually dropped their support for Israel, and he has to just
sit there and be like, well, India supports us.
What do you have to say to that?
India is a big country.
Surrender, but the specific question is, under this MOU, the United States terminates all
types of sanctions against Iran.
Is this a failure for your country, for Israel?
Look, I think it's too early to say what will happen.
The president believes that he can stop Iran's nuclear program, which is a nuclear program
to create atomic bombs.
He believes that he can do this through negotiations.
Do you?
And various pressures.
Look, I have my doubts, but I think he should be given the chance, and he's, you know, trying
to do, to achieve that.
It's funny to see him like being forced into the Cuck chair, even for a little bit, even
if it's like symbolic, even if this is beneficial for him, right?
Here's, look, I don't think that these guys are interviewing him and making him sit on
the Cuck chair because they genuinely think it's his time to sit on the Cuck chair because
he deserves it.
I think it's more so, um, it looks better for the American audience if he just kind of
sits there and takes a bruising, right?
Like, I think that's the highest priority here. This is a part of the propaganda machine
that's still trying to launder Israel's reputation. It's a face-saving operation, right? This
is not an about face. This is a face-saving operation. And it's very, very funny that
even then he can't do the fucking damage control theatrics necessary. He can't sit there like
a good boy and be like, you're right. Trump is the guy. He's right.
That we remain to be seen. But I have said, and by the way, I think President
Trump has said to that deal or no deal. Uh, I certainly will not let Iran have
nuclear weapons. And that is also the president's position. In 2015, I was
there. Remember that you came to the U. S. And spoke to Congress over the
objection of President Obama because of your opposition to that Iran deal, the JPCOA.
You specifically mentioned the deal's sanction relief in that speech.
What's different about now?
I think Iran, look, our combined action, the U.S. and Israeli action today, destroyed,
I think the lowest estimates are $400 billion of the regime's infrastructure, and some
Some say as much as three quarters of a trillion dollars or even a trillion dollars.
So I think what is being discussed now are very small numbers, admittedly.
Any number is a high number, as far as countries like Israel and others see it.
But it's not going to allow Iran to reestablish itself.
The question remains, at the end of the negotiations, if there's a deal struck, then you have to
Does the deal actually meet the main goals, the most important one, being ending Iran's
nuclear program, taking out the enrichment trail, dismantling the enrichment sites?
And there are other things that have to do with proxy warfare and ballistic missiles.
If it achieves that, then yes, Iran will get sanctions relief, and that would help the
regime resuscitate itself.
I don't see that happening yet, and I hope that the president will do exactly as he promised
to do, to make sure that Iran does not have a nuclear weapons program.
The issue of supporting Israel as a Jewish state and just U.S. support for Israel overall,
they have become a central issue in American politics.
It's really a litmus test right now in Democratic primaries here in the U.S.
I want you to listen to how the mayor of New York City responded when he was asked if he
supports Israel as a Jewish state.
I've said time and again that I support.
Oh, shit.
Oh, brother.
Well, well, I guess it's important to ask the real president about the only country that
matters. The perspective of the fake and phony mayor of New York City, who gives this shit?
I just, you know, you got to hear big yahoo's take on this, right? I mean, come on now,
you got to hear what big yahoo has to say about, ew, Zoran.
I can't wait to see what his face looks like the state of Israel as a state with equal rights
I believe yeah, they're ratting out a fellow American
It's true. No, literally
Then it's like
Big yahoo get in here. I hate this guy. What do you think about him?
Look at how anti-semitic he truly is
Get in there big yahoo
I think any state that privileges one religion over the other is one that I can't tell you
I support whether it be Israel or Saudi Arabia or anywhere else.
And a lot of that comes back to a fundamental belief that we should all be considered equal
in the world.
Okay, let's hear.
I'm going to tell you what he's going to say.
Well, we don't privilege Jewish people over the two million Palestinians, or not he won't
say Palestinians.
in Arabs, pejorative. Okay. And that, what about the 50 Muslim supremacist states that
exist right now, except for little old Israel? Israel is a small nation, a tiny nation. Israel
has an Arab pejorative on the Supreme Court.
No matter what our faith is.
New response?
Well, he conveniently forgets that the only democracy in the Middle East is-
Ah!
Damn it!
I forgot the only democracy in the Middle East!
How could I have forgotten?
How could I have forgotten the most important, the most important, I said tiny nation, but
I forgot.
I forgot the most important democracy 20% of our citizens are Muslims.
They're not, but they sit in the Supreme Court.
They're in the Knesset apartment.
They share every walk of life.
That's the only place in the Middle East where you actually have this, this equality
that he's talking about. But he has supported, or his supporters have supported Hamas, these
people who murder people, who beheaded our men, who raped our women, and then murdered them,
burned babies alive and so on. He said the river to the sea, he supports them. This is
this is not mere cynicism. I mean, it's ridiculous. It's absurd. They're all.
Oh, wait, is he saying, uh-oh, he's, he's saying Zora Mamdani is Hamas, uh-oh, oh, brother,
big yahoo's, big yahoo's flustered right now.
I mean, he's, he is pissed.
Yeah, you would think that any reputable juridals would be embarrassed to give this man airtime
to blatantly lie to their audience, but I guess Dana Bash on CNN is okay with it.
Yes, I'm going to be tuning into the Abdul Stevens debate, yes.
Are always imperfect democracies, as well as an imperfect democracy.
The United States is an imperfect democracy.
Why because we live in the real world, but it's a hundred times better than these dictatorships
and these, uh, these horrible, uh, horrible tyrannies that, um, Dana, don't you understand?
We democratically decided to do genocide to the Palestinians.
These Arabs, they don't know how to do democracy.
We are taming.
We are civilizing the barbarians Dana, Donnie and his supporters and support.
So you ask you beyond the state, the democratic Jewish state that fights for its life.
But we also protect so many.
Notice how he didn't.
OK, to be fair, he did say like, oh, Supreme Court Arab,
you know, so many Arabs, Muslims discuss their, you know,
live in Israel.
We let them live there for now.
But he didn't even address the whole like Jewish state
that privileges Jews or a Jewish ethno state.
Others by fighting these barbarians
who have no qualms whatsoever, murdering their own people
trying to terrorize everyone. Some American Jews in Congress who support Israel and support what
you just said say that a lot of the actions by you and your government are making Jews in the
United States unsafe. Congresswoman Hailey Stevens, she's running for Senate in Michigan,
said Benjamin Netanyahu has made us less safe. He has frankly put Jews in an uncomfortable position
across the country have you well it's made it's made her uncomfortable because
she can't stand up for the truth she's trying to probably excuse anti-semitism
you know I
Haley Stevens is one not Jewish to what gives what gives
Bro, Haley Stevens is home us. Dude, look, I'm of two different minds here. On the one
hand, I think this is a way to try to boost maybe Stevens credibility as like a Israel
critic in a race that they, I know they are paying close attention to the idea that Benjamin
Netanyahu doesn't know the like maiden name of Abdul's parents and and the name of the
dog that Abdul had when he was in fifth grade is ridiculous. He knows all of that shit.
Okay. The level of involvement that Israel has in American elections, especially one
that is as pivotal where there will be an Israel critic going to Senate. Okay. They know
everything. So, on the one hand, I do feel like he's just maybe attacking her so that,
because they know they're unpopularity, so they can give like a little bit more credibility to
Haley Stevens as a critic of Israel that's being supported by APEC for some reason.
But the other reason why I feel like he just knocked this out of the chamber, okay, is because
any sort of criticism that Benjamin Anyak who hears from American Congress, whether it be a
a Democrat or Republican immediately has one speed. Okay? I think it could be one or the
other. I think it could be either. And I'm kind of leaning on the side of the ladder
rather than the former. He might just, he might have just heard someone who has famously
said, Israel comes to man my dreams and immediately go, how dare she criticize Israel? How dare
Oh
How dare she
She is Hamas
She is Hamas we will do away with all of our critics on American soil
He's not she's I mean I just want to explain she's somebody who supports Israel
She supports funding Israel, which is diminishing big time among Democrats and even some Republicans the United States Congress
By the way
There you have it
I mean this literally is the reason why Israel is cratering in popularity in America amongst Americans
Americans, even Americans that will say that they like Israel, that they want Israel to
one day be a peaceful nation or whatever, right?
Like, this is it.
This is the reason.
Because he straight up hears someone who is like an ultra Zionist and hears that Netanyahu
is making things harder to defend Israel and to defend unconditional aid to Israel.
And his response is, she must be Hamas!
She must be Hamas!
Who's funding her? Cutter? Cutter is funding her!
It's Hamas! It's like, uh, Snow Sir, you're funding her, actually.
You're funding her campaign to the tune of $34 billion.
APEC has done that.
It's Hamas!
APEC is Hamas!
Like, the miniscule, tiny, marginal,
Like, unbelievably small criticism of Benjamin Netanyahu is met with this kind of friendly fire.
What gives Maddie Maroon is Trump's biggest donor Benjamin Nittanyahu is Trump's biggest
donor.
What? Gips!
Tell you, we tried.
War is back on, it's on, focus on real shit.
Dog, shut the fuck up. The president is talking, okay?
I know, I know, we're gonna get to that, okay?
Calm the fuck down.
You can bust your situation, monitoring nothing a little bit, okay?
Wait like five fucking minutes.
support and I'm obviously concerned when people raise that and I've looked at the
support and I'm obviously concerned when people raise that and I've looked at the
the Gallup polls okay and they were interesting and other polls and you see
the decline in support for Israel okay and it's years before several years
before. Here's another poll. Hamas's investment in TikTok. Hamas and Qatar are investing in
TikTok to make Americans support anti-Semitism. The Gaza War took place, okay? And you asked,
why did that happen? Well, the one correlation you see, which is almost a perfect correlation,
is the penetration of TikTok and other social media in the United States.
And as the penetration increases, the support for Israel decreases, and let me tell you
something else.
The support for America decreases.
The number of people who say they're not proud to be Americans is just correlation.
So I think that what has happened here is that there are several countries and organizations

thank you for the five two and get to seven
uh... i got to be a digital
but also to hate america and you know what
those who say they hate israel
usually end up hating america
mister bernard i think all things can be true
All things can be true, what you're saying about bots and about the Internet, no question.
But are you saying that Israel and you personally bear no responsibility?
Let's just talk about Gaza for one minute.
Currently, Hamas is continuing to refuse to disarm.
The IDF is also carrying out nearly daily airstrikes in Gaza.
You've taken over more territory there.
And the Palestinian people are continuing to suffer, still displaced, dealing with intense
heat, limited care, limited resources.
Will you do more to help those suffering in Gaza?
And will you concede that the images that people are seeing on their phones as part
of social media is very much contributing to the turnaround and the diminishment of support
of your state of Israel and of you.
Yeah, look, I think that the, what you're raising is,
how do you fight a war in the digital age
when, you know, when you have terrorists
that embed themselves into civilian populations,
in schools, in civilian neighborhoods,
in apartment blocks, in mosques, and so on?
How do you fight them?
They send rockets to indiscriminately kill our people
and they hide behind, they're targeting our civilians
while hiding behind their own civilians.
So what are you gonna do?
What do you think would happen
if this happened to New York City, say, from New Jersey?
You think if they rocketed you with this firepower
and murdered about 10,000 of your people,
murdered, raped, maimed, disemboweled, 10,000 Americans,
what do you think the response of the United States would be?
Let me ask you about right now.
It would be a lot stronger.
It's just so funny that he's debate lording someone
who has the exact same identical point of view.
Okay
Like I know Dana is like offering light pushback here, but let's be real like that is straight up her personal
Michael foosco are with the 50 bones. Oh my lord
Go back ZNN folded
The one you say pots and all things can hit you all things can be true
I got to see this I got to see this pushback
By the way, this did happen
It's called 9-11 and what we did after 9-11 was insane
And as a matter of fact many people now recognize how fucked up it was a lot of them don't recognize
How fucked up it was to the region?
Right? But at the very least, they recognized how much of a waste it was, how many lives
in America were wasted. And plenty of people also, obviously, recognize how devastating
it was to the lives that were slain in Iraq and Afghanistan, but people even recognize
like the surveillance state that it designed in the United States of America. That's how
Trump won the election the first time. He literally was like, Iraq was a mistake. We should have never gone into Iraq.
That's why Hillary Clinton should lose and she did. She did.
So the idea of like, what would you do? What would you do if thousands of Americans were killed?
Like, we're living in it big dog. This shit sucks.
Okay level five high train three minutes remaining ladies and gentlemen
Saying about about bots and about about the internet no question, but are you saying
This is so funny because again Dana agrees with him. It is bots, right?
Paladiate
Thank you for the 20 gift is subs
I think that Israel and you personally bear no responsibility.
Let's just talk about Gaza for one minute.
Currently, Hamas is continuing to refuse to disarm.
The IDF is also carrying out nearly daily airstrikes in Gaza.
You've taken over more territory there.
And the Palestinian people are continuing to suffer, still displaced, dealing with intense
heat, well-hidden care, and limited resources.
Will you do more to help those?

We'll get I'll give you a new song to stem over today if we carry the flame level six I've trained complete only three levels remaining
In the hype train level seven hundred and ninety percent four minutes remaining
I'll find we'll carry the flame with a new one today. Okay?
Again, like I said, it's straight up everything. Everything that Benjamin Niao was saying,
everything that Benjamin Niao was saying, Dana Basha agrees with, right? She agrees with it.
And even then, she's like, but don't you think that you're drawing a lot of f***ing aggro here
for your actions and the way you carry yourself? And he's like, no, no, no.
suffering in Gaza and will you concede that the images that people are seeing
on their phones as part of social media is very much contributing to the the
turnaround and the diminishment of support of your state of Israel and of
you. Yeah look I think that the what you're raising is low 50 high train low
in the digital age, when you have terrorists that embed themselves into civilian populations
in schools, in civilian neighborhoods, in apartment blocks, in mosques and so on.
How do you fight them?
They send rockets to indiscriminately kill our people, and they hide behind their-
Yeah, and then we heard this already, I already explained it.
It wasn't of your response of the United States, it would be a lot stronger than ours.
Yeah.
I'm going to say right now, but I think it's important.
I think it's important.
We have taken unbelievable measures
in order to avoid civilian casualties.
You know, we send millions of phone calls to the people,
millions of text messages and so on.
Please leave this neighborhood
because we're going to try to eradicate Hamas.
And Hamas, no, no, I'm,
like you can't even follow through God it's just like okay this is Dana Bash saying these things
is a sign that the times have shifted dramatically okay a great way to break chatters parents
Zionist brainwrots simply ask what are the prime ministers of another whole last foreign country
gets this much screen time in mainstream media. Yeah. Yeah, like if Iran deployed flyers in
Tel Aviv, would it be okay if they fucking reduced it to rubble? Of course not. No one. Would it be
okay? Would it be okay if Osama bin Laden was like, oh yeah, we're gonna strike on 9-11. We're
gonna strike the World Trade Center. Would that make it any better? No, of course not. It's fucking
ridiculous fucking ridiculous level seven hype train one minute and 46 seconds remaining
support independent media by subscribing to the piker broadcasting service ladies and
gentlemen the people's broadcasting service pbs sponsored by you the people for you the
people by the broadcasting service for tomorrow's news today.
Yes, we're going to talk about the U.S. strikes on Iran.
I know.
While this conversation is taking place, America is already prioritizing the, like, or at least
advancing the interests of Israel by continuing the war, rather than trying to find a manageable
conclusion in the Memorandum of Understanding that they're supposed to be abiding by, okay, so
you know, no matter what BB says, no matter what big yahoo says
on this broadcast, Israel's needs are still being met somehow. Win or lose, Israel is still on top.
Stop.
Operation Epstein's fury seemingly has unpaused.
Yeah, however bad you think political discourse is on here, TikTok makes it look like the
Federalist Papers.
Yes, don't drop out.
Highly suspicious this was dropped right after the other candidate dropped out of the race.
I'm not even confirming you guys want to drop out. Sue her for defamation. This is why I was saying like
Normies are on a fucking different wavelength. Okay
Normies are on a different wavelength. How did this man develop this much?
Popular approval and support
Because he's liberal Trump. How did Trump develop this level of cult-like fandom around himself?
Because he saw what the people were demanding and he said he would fight for it. Okay
That's important to identify, so that the next time there isn't a guy who fucking has rape allegations, is running for that position, or any position, really.
That's it.
That is the level of anger and resentment people have towards the establishment of Democrats,
towards pro-Israel politicians.
That's the level of scrutiny they have.
This is the liberal version.
This is the liberal version of Israel assassinated Charlie Kirk, okay?
It's the secret sauce.
It is straight up the fucking secret sauce.
I'm telling you right now, and those who don't see how much the environment has shifted underneath
their feet will always lose.
There will be more situations, there will be more instances, there will be a lot more
For instance, is where, you know, they, they end up getting caught off guard.
Also, it is a superpower to be a white guy, to look like a chud too, like a chuddy white
guy.
Holy fuck dude.
Talking about, I'll ceasefire, I'll talk about in a minute, but obviously there's no real
fighting going on.
There are occasional actions that they try.

We try to do against us and we do against them, but it's not the kind of broad warfare
that we had before.
Everybody understands that, but I still come back to this point down and I insist on it
because people say, Israel, how dare you?
How come civilians are killed because Hamas did not let the civilians leave?
And when they try to leave-
Mate feed, mate feed art with another 50 bones

I love that you basically don't listen to any music
except carry the flame because I carry the flame.
A lot of you don't, okay?
A lot of you can't, a lot of you don't.
It's just the reality, okay?
Carrying the flame isn't just about embodying the values
of the great, the late and great Kirk,
which is freedom of speech and things of that nature.
But it's also about listening to one song and one song only.
And that song happens to be We Are Charlie Kirk, okay?
That's it, that's the reality.
Okay, sorry, that's, oops.
I accidentally almost carried the flame.
Only the woke can stoke the flames, yes.
Michael Fusco art with 100 bones and that's it there goes it Phoenix emoji

And I think that cause

We are truly curd
We carry the flame
We'll fight for the gospel
We are a shining girl, we can scarage our own

The cost is our God
With God as our captain
We march side by side
We are Charley Kirk
We carry the flame
We'll fight for the gospel on our own
We are Charley Kirk

Unbroken, we'll make heaven known
We are Charley Kirk
Ever and ever
Oh, it's so good.
Do people remake this song just for you who's actually asking for these?
It's like the fifth version I've heard and I feel like you are the only audience at this
point.
First of all, my friend, that's not true.
He's...
Okay, there's an emo version as well that I accidentally clicked on here, but...
has half a million views from six months ago. Okay. The like people, I assume people throw
this on at parties, right? Like they have to, especially because it goes fucking hard.
It actually goes super hard, I think.
I think it goes crazy hard.
If at Arbihist, they would shoot them, they would actually kill their own people in order
to keep them in a place where they would be injured by us.
So when you have this cynicism and this horror, you don't support the terrorists.
You support Israel because you will end up being in the same place exactly.
We're not fighting just our battle, we're fighting your battle, both against Iran and
its proxies, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis.
These people are bent on destroying our free society.
Will the ceasefire take hold?
Will the ceasefire take hold?
Using the media for that end.
Well, look, it depends.
Every time they try to kill our people, make a move on our people, obviously we act.
But I think that the most, the, uh, of the law side, Haley Stevens debate is going to
happen in an hour.
Important thing is the, the disarmament factor in the agreement, the 20 point agreement that
President Trump put forward.
And the most important one is that Hamas has to disarm and Gaza has to be the millit rights.
You know, it's going to happen one way or the other.
I prefer that it would happen without the need for the use of force and the need for
are you, so forth, because now I've been to war, you know?
I served five years in a special unit.
My brother died while saving hostages in Antibiot.
I had an 18-year-old fellow soldier die in my arms.
That's not something that you forget.
And I saw the grief of my parents
and the grief of so many others.
So I would prefer, if we could avoid the renewal of open combat,
yes, I would prefer that if we could achieve our aims
eliminated from the Hamas from Gaza with other means, by all means.
I know we're almost out of time, but I really do want to ask one final question about what's
going on in the West Bank, violent attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians.
Over the weekend, Israeli settlers in the West Bank raided and set fire to a restaurant.
We have some photos that we're showing.
I know, and I've heard you say these are just thugs.
But my question is, if they're just thugs, why won't or can't you stop them?
Well, we do, actually.
It's about a hundred—it's actually 150 or so.
What you would call juvenile delinquents, they're not by and by the way from the settler
community.
They're overwhelmingly upstanding citizens.
They serve in the army.
They're law-abiding.
And unfortunately, they're attacked by Palestinian terrorists on the roads.
massacre families. So there is, it's not that.
Dude, I'm sorry. That's fucking insane, man. That is so nasty. And I know for a fact, here's
the thing, okay, if there was ever an opportunity where Dana would interview someone like myself,
an American citizen who has violated no laws, right, who simply has a difference in opinion with Dana,
she would be a million times more critical in that interview, okay?
Then the one that she's currently giving to a fucking out-and-about war criminal
That's what's so messed up about the standards in mainstream media, okay?
But he's over here talking about how like these children that we're putting in torturous
concentration camps in a territory that we illegally occupy is perfectly valid.
Saying all the settler violence is done by 150 Juveniles, the liquids who aren't even from the
settlements is one of the stupidest defences I've ever heard. That's the best you could
come up with. Did the Hosbara budget run out? Yeah. This is the, here's the thing. This
is the, this is the answer that you give when you're not even expected to answer any questions.
Okay. That's the problem. That's the problem. Like he is annoyed that he asked to even entertain
a response, right? He's like, what do you mean? You're asking me this fucking question. What kind
of bullshit is this? Community. It is actually 150 or so kids, teenagers usually who are brought
into the Israeli government, you should be able to stop them, particularly given how
much of an impact this is having globally on seeing this happen in these images.
You're absolutely right that this has blown up beyond belief and causes a lot of damage.
I think it's wrong on its own account.
I don't want and don't accept vigilanteism, and I don't care if it comes from Arabs or
of Jews, our citizens cannot practice violence against anyone.
If we have to apply force, it's the law and order.
It's the police and the military that has to do that.
And therefore, we take actions among them, among them.
But it's precisely because it's such a tightly knit group that acts according to—they try
to skirt the law.
And when we bring them to the courts, our courts are very lenient.
I don't know why, maybe because they're young and I've said that we have to challenge that
and I will not, I don't accept it, but I want to put that in perspective.
It's not the settler community because they, the settler community condemns them.
It's not the people.
Okay, dude.
Okay, dude.
Yeah.
No, definitely.
It's not the settlers.
It's not the big, beautiful settlers.
the settlers. I mean, this is, I like that we've moved the goalposts to like, the settlers
are good too, actually. It's just like a bunch of bad apples, but they're not even settlers,
even though they're illegally occupying a territory that does not belong to Israel.
It's awesome. People of Israel, because we condemn them.
It's not the government of Israel. It's a, it's a, I would say a violation of the basic
norms of our country. We don't accept it. I don't accept it.
Okay, and I do have to let you go, but you are committed, for example, to going after
and bringing justice to and for the family of Palestinian American, save Musalete, who
was beaten to death last year.
I'm not sure that I look into it, certainly because you raised it, but I've tried.
Oh, because you raised it, Dana. I mean, we kill so many people. We beat them to death
all the time and I defended all the time vis-a-visously so I just didn't even realize that you knew
the name of one to make sure that look every time you have this you do it we can even calm
down the settler community is interesting isn't it supposed to be Judea and Samara to these guys
settler implies the international crime aspect of it weird that he's conceding on that name
yeah I guess he's just like using that uh to the best of his ability as fast as possible he's trying
to be, he's just doing the thing where he's using that language on purpose.
Have real investigations, you know. Israel is a transparent country. You can't hide
things. You can't hide crimes in the military. You can't hide crimes in the police. It doesn't
work that way. So whatever is the charge, we'll look at it in our, and we'll take care
of it because because that's the kind of country we are despite the vilifications unjust vilifications
that are thrown at us left and right. We're a real democracy.
Benjamin that's how. Thank you for your time. I very much appreciate it.
This is damage control. He wants to get in front of Trump. That's why he's doing it.
That's what this is.
It's, he's already signaled that he wants to get in Trump's ear again.
And I guess that he's not getting the access that he wants from Trump right now, cuz, the
American negotiation team is working on the MOU while still violating parts of the MOU,
which we'll be talking about right now. So like the reason why he's doing all this is
because I don't think he's trying to win the hearts and minds of Americans. I didn't give
a shit about that. He wants to win the hearts and minds of one American. And there are at
least seven refuelers active above the shade of Hormuz and explosion been reported in southern
Iran. As we were watching that TV interview, a second round of strikes reported in southern
Iran 14 minutes ago, Sankam announced they've begun launching strikes against Iran. They
finally were able to announce it before Barak Ravid says, Bowser Berry. And Iran, I believe,
was claiming that they hit cell towers this time. Not sure what that means, but yeah,
two appearances on Fox News and one on CNN within 48 hours, more and more, it appears
Netanyahu has no other avenues to get his message to Trump.
Barack still gets the details though, of course he does.
A U.S. official told me the targets included Iranian air defense systems, Col. Sos Verdes
Systems, surface air missiles, anti-ship cruise missiles, drone launch sites, and port facilities.
So the reason why this is happening for those of you who don't know is that a part of the
memorandum of understanding on the Iranian side is that Iran still gets to control the
navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. They're not going to impede on transit, but they still
get to control it, right? So there are two pathways as it stands currently. There are two
pathways that you can navigate through the Strait of Hormuz, either the Omani coastline
or the Iranian coastline. And Iran wants all ships to navigate through the
Iranian coastline, right? America, on the other hand, for one reason or another, I
don't know. I assume it's maybe to posture, maybe to show that they maintain
control over the situation, have decided that ships that want to navigate
through the Shreya Hormuz without any sort of Iranian control can go through
the Omani coastline. This happened last week as well, if you recall, where Iran shot at
two ships that were passing through the Omani coastline and not going through Kesham Island.
So that is the situation right now. It seems it's the same exact story. America tests the
boundaries once again, tell ships to pass through the Omani coastline. Iran opens fire
on those ships, and then America comes back and strikes Iran directly.
My understanding is that Iran is breaking the MOU when it detects ships that are trying
to go through the route approved by Oman, and then the US is breaking it by bombing
just the same thing every week after markets close.
Yeah, this is what happened last week as well.
Speaking of rehashing old meddas, Donald Trump is also talking about acquiring Greenland
again, this time at the NATO summit.
But no, I don't think it's a violation for Iran to, I mean, it's not, it's a violation
for Iran to strike at any ships.
But Iran is doing that because they want America to forcibly follow through on the memorandum
understanding which I believe clearly dictates that the ships have to go
through the Iranian coastline and not the Omani coastline. Okay?
Can't believe you this week you will gaslight people in the claiming you did
not support Planner and will continue. I never said I did not support Planner in
any way shape or form. I just said that I did not support Planner in the same way
that I supported actual candidates that I was in the tank for in the way that
people are claiming I did. I simply stood by the position that Graham Plattener
was a better candidate than at the time with the information that we knew at the
time that Graham Plattener was a better candidate than Janet Mills. I did not
donate to Graham Plattener, I did not endorse Graham Plattener, I did not push
for Graham Plattener. I did however push back against ridiculous complaints
coming from some people. It's not the main topic at hand and it feels like you just simply
want to argue with me rather than cover other things that are going on in the world, even
though we covered the Grand Platinum situation for the last like three hours. You are a subscriber
or were a subscriber. If you subscribe, you can rewind. I don't think that you care about
that though. I think you just care about getting a clip so that you can plaster it all over
your discord so that you can keep pumping it in the airwaves to make it seem like I'm
the person who brought Grand Platinum to the main stage. I hand selected him. I'm the fight
agency. I'm, you know, in Bernie's ear, begging him to endorse Grand Platinum. I was very
excited about him all this stuff. Which is not the case.
Yeah, I was looking for cool tattoos online, cool noncy tattoos online and I landed on
grand planner when I was hand selecting my favorite candidate.
More strikes in the last two minutes.
In Shidak and Kesham ports, you platformed him to start with you and your tweet claim
You did not promote him. So yeah, carry on gaslighting you platformed him to start with dog
I need you guys to understand something really important. Okay. I'm a political commentator
Grand Platinum is running for Senate on a populist role was running for Senate on a populist slant. Okay
He was the number one talked about story for months on end
Of course I'm going to cover it, but you defended the tattoo lalt. No, I didn't as a matter of fact
I did not do that at all. I said it was a major fucking red flag when we first found out about it
Keep going. Oh my god, this is amazing. Okay, if your entertainment is simply having an argument with a twitch streamer
Then you have already positioned yourself as a deeply unserious person. You don't have any investment in anything really
You just want to fucking you you just want to continue the drama
And it's not even just drama. You just want to continue the idea that like I am
I am just a bad person like a bad commentator bad analyst bad person in general immoral
And everyone should hopefully understand that so they don't subscribe to this broader project
And that's what it is
I should stop getting one guide
That's what I should do
Did you defend this service in the US military as others claim? I have a broad
standard across the board for veterans. I do not immediately and reflexively
assume that a veteran is a is a rapacious baby-killing monster.
That's a consistent position.
Farming off of sexual assault as though it's a drama is gross, rather these communities also literally turned genocide into a drama farming operation.
The crime of all crimes.
So this is expected. This is not unexpected.
Two more Iranian attacks on ships and hormones overnight, from the Middle Eastern correspondent
for the Economist, again with the intent of forcing vessels to stop using the Omani route.
One of the vessel under attack appears to be Al-Dakayat, an LNG tanker owned and managed
by Nakulat, the shipping arm of Qatar's LNG industry.
Zachary Cohen on CNN says the US official tells Zachary Cohen on CNN that the strikes
are punishment and not proportional and won't be over for a bit.
I would simply say this, I would urge people to reconsider who they are aligning with.
Okay?
If you are advancing the same cause as Epstini, a Zionist sex pest currently in court over
distribution of revenge pornography near a Tandon or numerous other people, as I've said
time and time again, I would urge you to reconsider whether or not what you're doing is productive.
Or if you have been played a fool.
That's it.
Anyway, Trump blasts NATO allies in set sites on Greenland again.
Just visiting dignitially attending a summit, more court of King Donald gracing a grateful
alliance with his presence.
Turkey put out the bling, President Trump showed his appreciation, announcing he would
lift US sanctions on Turkey for buying Russian missiles, and is open to selling them billions
of dollars of fighter jets.
Fnato, though, the near eight decade old alliance,
his nation is a cornerstone of the tongue lashing they feed.
We help them, but I'm not sure that they'd be there for us.
And Italy turned us down.
And Germany turned us down.
And France turned us down.
And it's OK.
But why are we spending hundreds of billions of dollars?
And they're not there for us.
We've always been there for them.
His core message has never changed.
The US is being taken advantage of. Europe needs to step up and defend itself.
Last year NATO allies, including the UK, agreed to raise their defence spending to 5% of GDP
by 2035, 3.5% of which must be on core military spending.
Last year the UK spent 2.3%.
Kirstjen Stammer says his defence investment plan will boost that to 2.7% by 2029.
He hasn't explained how the government will get this crazy five percent in the next nine years
That's crazy Adam Friedland and clavicular made the New York Times most fashionable list, but you didn't
Did did clavicular actually make that? That's crazy
Modeling his talk show on dick habits Friedland pays homage to the semiotics of the form
I would never forget to intend to subvert those tropes down to wearing cowboy boots, which he pairs with his raffish suits
That's crazy
RFK Jr. Okay. Never mind. I'm good. I mean, that's crazy. They put a Ramadwajee right
after RFK. That's messed up. Pregnant women in the Trump sphere.
Okay, I feel like this is a bit of a diss because this is okay chase infinity absolutely deserves this
Um clavicular
Yeah, this is this is like a meme list they they put like serious people
Next to not so serious people if that makes sense
That's, oh, come on. Come, no, no, no. This list is ridiculous. Adam does deserve it,
by the way, straight up. I will say that all jokes aside, Adam is a valid pick. He is very
stylish. I think he has a, he very clearly has a look. I hope he never hears me say this.
does deserve to be on a on a most stylish uh people list uh unlike some of the other people
on this list all come on John Travolta
Yeah, bro, clavicular. Have you ever put on a polo before? Yeah. This is the biggest
uh... journalistic malpractice i've ever seen
straight up is unacceptable all right let's get back to turkey being at the
table or rather being the table
breeze for european nations it isn't just about spending more defense
but shouting about it from the rooftops and making sure that messages heard on
the other side of the atlantic
to meet the challenge
We need a transatlantic defense industrial revolution.
The hum of machinery must become a roar.
Now, that sounds dramatic, but it can be done.
This is a shorter summit.
Leaders walking on eggshells hoping for minimal opportunities
for falling out with the US and maximum pledges of support for Ukraine.
The most urgent priority air defense systems.
50 civilians killed in Kiev in just the last week alone by Russian missiles.
While this war continues, please help us get more air defense missiles.
This is our top priority right now.
We are capable of doing everything else ourselves.
But when it comes to air defense, we need our partners' determination.
This is a war on NATO's doorstep.
The threat of Russian aggression is real, and to some, the US has merely focused attentions.
It is true, it was catalyzed by US, but it's each country's commitment and each country's
progress.
And what about the reason?
Are you happy to see that increase in commitment?
We're happy to see that increase in commitment, because that enables us to have a better deterrence
and defence.
Not so long ago, NATO said that all members of the Alliance should be prepared for Russian
to launch attacks against NATO members by 2030.
Is that a fear you live in the shadow of?
It is quite clear and I think it's a common understanding among us
that we need to accelerate those plans.
In our case there are more than 40 cases where we've seen
drone incursions into our airspace as a spillover effect from the war on the border.
While some are clamouring for cash commitments and missiles,
others are falling for relevance. Leader's sitting down for dinner tonight. Just hope
King and Trump will deliver.
So much myth out of my own shit. It's kind of crazy to see on the main stage. I just,
you know.
Please bless him.
Paul McNamara. Well, as you heard there, NATO allies are under pressure from President
Zelensky as well as President Trump. Our Foreign Affairs correspondent, Porokko Bryant, joins
us now from Keith.
All right, Krish, Trump meets Zelensky tomorrow and Zelensky will have to walk a tightrope
here.
We all know that Donald Trump loves a winner and Zelensky will be trying to impress upon
him the fact that Ukraine have an upper hand in this war.
Yeah, the problem with that, the problem with that is Zelensky's victories, and there are
some you can point to for sure.
the drone, the peppering of like, the all bets are off, drone warfare on oil and gas infrastructure,
and the ships, is giving Zelensky some significant leverage, in my opinion, okay?
The problem is, every moment of leverage that Zelensky has is actually hurting Trump's
broader goals of normalizing the oil prices around the globe. So any time Zaleski is actually
getting leverage, which she certainly is, is a moment where Donald Trump is probably
getting pissed. As far as like allegiances that Roger had, you know, that's, that's been
a given that this has been a lost cause.
Meanwhile, while that is disrupting the oil prices in the global market, Donald Trump's
actions against Iran now is also going to increase the volatility, especially as the
oil reserves in the United States of America hit and the rest of the world hit critical
levels.
So supposedly oil tankers were hit by the Kosovo mine which is not an improved path that
Iran agreed to so they shot at three ships and the US struck Iran as a result, yes.
They do, but Zelensky is also asking for stuff and he has to do that in a way that doesn't
make him and Ukraine look weak.
What will he be asking for as Paul alluded to in his report, he'll be asking for the
missiles that Ukraine uses to take out those Russian ballistic missiles incoming to Ukraine
because he has run out of those interceptors, those missiles, those Patriot missile interceptors.
How do we know that Ukraine has run out of them?
Because of what happened here in Kiev on Monday night, this huge barrage of missiles,
Just among that barrage of missiles, about 20 Russian ballistic missiles which got through,
they weren't intercepted because Ukraine has run out of the interceptors.
Tonight we wanted to bring you the story of one family, what that meant for one family
in a neighborhood Vishnev in Kiev, which we visited this afternoon.
A Russian missile hit an arms dump in that area.
sparked a wave of secondary explosions that destroyed or damaged homes in a
network of streets equivalent in size to about 20 football pitches. And in one of
those homes, 91 year old Valentina Pavlikna, she was not able to get to a
shelter or down the stairs to the basement of her house where she lives
alone. Her home was destroyed and her son Alexander found her charred remains
the following day. He spoke to us this afternoon.
The leaders of NATO are meeting today. If you were sitting around that table, what would you say to them about the war in Ukraine?
in the national election.
That's all.
Now that of course just one of thousands of stories of civilians who've lost their life since the full-scale invasion began
and you would hope that those sorts of stories in some way inform the conversation with the soaps of the summit.
President Trump last night repeated his warnings that the rise of democratic socialists represents...
Oh my god.
Ugh.
Everything's fucked up. Once it hits 150 million barrels, the SPR might start to physically collapse, as in it will not function properly anymore.
any more, it looks to me like it will hit that before the midterms unless they pull back on the releases.

A new communist threat to the United States.
Some of those far-left candidates are using the term comrades now to describe their supporters.
How come the people here are strangers to you all?
Just months ago you didn't know them.
I mean, we are winning power.
It's not just winning tweets
or winning message. We're
winning power. Let's bring in
Fox News contributor Richard
Fowler. Richard, you're a solid
Democrat. You got any comrades
out there? Yeah, I mean, I'm
sure you deserve to make sure
that your international
comrades are actually working
with you and getting the
benefits that you that you all
deserve. I gotta give shout
out to my comrades. I mean, we
are winning power. It's not
just winning tweets are
there I don't have any comrades I must say John thanks for having me happy
forth to you happy forth yeah what's going on I mean it
dude what the fuck are we doing like how is this a news story you ran out of
shit that's what it is that there's nothing else going on today

in your bum that a boss in Iran.
It's fucking nuts dude.
Yeah, CNN already reported that these are strikes that are meant to be a punishment and will
not be over for a while.
Is this a sort of a talking point among these so-called democratic socialists?
Are they are they trying to get people comfortable with comrades in the vocabulary?
I don't know about that.
I do think the word choice of the president last night actually does matter.
I think there's a distinction between communism when you think of the Soviet Union or you
think of the Cold War versus what you see many of these sort of modern day American
politicians and what they're advocating for.
What they're advocating for is the expansion of the social safety net.
Many of the programs that the American people, you and I think are very popular.
My mom is on Social Security.
I know folks who are on Medicare or Medicaid.
There's some seniors who live in my neighborhood who are meals on wheels.
These are all government programs that, at the time of implementation, many folks call
those programs socialists, and now some of them are some of the most popular programs
amongst the American people.
And I think when you talk to some of these candidates, what they're saying is, in a world
in which we see high rent, in a world in which we see the high cost of health care, in a
In a world where you see childcare, which for many families can average $13,000 a year
for an infant, up to $20,000 in some states, for just taking care of an infant, baby, or
mom and or dad could go back to work.
There's something uniquely wrong with that cost structure, and maybe just maybe there
should be some more government-run programs that help alleviate that pain on working families
that can contribute to our economy.
I want to point out that on the other side of the aisle, Republicans are watching this
rise of democratic socialism in the democrat party and making some observations about why
it seems to be gaining steam. Here's Mike Johnson, the speaker of the house.
I think quietly the democrat establishment on Capitol Hill understands that, but they
feel powerless to stop it because if they stand up and say this is wrong, the problem
they have is the energy.
how would they do that? Here's the thing, they do feel it, but there's a significant problem here.
Okay? The problem is, Democrats run as comrades when there's an actual election,
or at least close to it. When you look at like Democrats broadly, they are very open about how
they want everyone to have healthcare. It's just like the truth gets lost in the minutiae.
Okay? That's the problem. So they can't actually turn around and be like, no, we never wanted
fucking Medicare for all. Shut the fuck up. And we never wanted to hold Israel accountable
for its genocide. Shut the fuck up. They can't say that because if they were to say that,
they would give the game away and then no one would ever trust an establishment Democrat
ever again.
As a matter of fact, many people have actually arrived at that conclusion that they cannot
not trust establishment Democrats, regardless.
That's the problem.
And that's also the reason why so many of these quote unquote outsider comrades have
gained so much success amongst the base.
Like, it's not like these are aliens that are outside of the party that are fucking
voting for these candidates. They're Democrats, lifelong Democrats, blue dog Democrats, Democrats
of all different walks of life, all shapes and sizes. They are the ones who are going,
yeah, I kind of like this. They got a little pep in their step as opposed to the fucking
ancient fossil that I voted for that didn't deliver any on any of these fucking promises
that they made year over year.
No one wants to interrogate or examine why Democrats are voting for these people.
Why are they voting for these people?
If this is so far beyond the way that the National Democratic Party has presented their
platform, whether they were sincerely in defense of it or not, or whether they were using different
terminology in an effort to not give the game away or not, doesn't matter.
The people's perception, if you ask the average Democratic Party voter, if they think that
the Democrats broadly are supposed to be in defense of Medicare for all, they would say
yes.
Okay?
That's what they would say.
The notion that you are voting for a Democrat because the Democratic Party is going to give
you the most reasonable policy prescription on maintaining private health care insurance
is idiotic. No one is making that assessment. They just think one party wants to take health
care away, the other party wants to give more health care. And they go with the more health
care please party. The problem is the more health care please party also needs to please
the donors. And therefore they're not actually invested in giving more health care please.
Now you got an alternative. Now you got an alternative that actually is invested in fighting
for it. So now, of course, people are gonna choose to vote for that person. That's the
real problem in the Democratic Party. They wanna discipline the voters. They wanna actually
whip the voters in the shape to just shut the fuck up and vote for the centrist, for
neoliberal, but they can't, and that's the panic. And the old school methods of consistently claiming
if you actually vote for a Medicare for all candidate, a change candidate, then, you know,
people in the South are going to be really scared about that. Don't do it. It's not working anymore,
because the appetite for change is there. Okay.
Okay.
The excitement, the money, the grassroots is on the side of the insurgent left.
And this is a threat that we have never seen before in the elected system of our government.
Calls Democratic socialists or socialism.
He says it's a threat.
What do you say, Richard?
I can, there's a lot of things that are a threat.
I don't think the ideal of fighting for lower healthcare cost is a threat.
And to be honest with you, I think there's a lot of Americans that are frustrated with
the democratic establishment. And they're also frustrated with the Speaker of the House.
And here's why, because they see folks like Elon Musk, like Jeff Bezos, both individuals
that have benefited or are currently benefiting from high-priced government contracts, or
some of the big banks, John, that in 2008 got big bailouts from this government, corporate
welfare, right? And they're saying, they got a bailout. Me and my family never got
a bailout, and we continue to struggle. And one of the reasons why we feel like we're
continue to struggle is because many of the folks we have let have elected to
Capitol Hill have neglected our pain they've neglected our suffering and
they've only done the bidding of their top donors and in the result of that you
see them when the one big beautiful bill was a tax giveaway to millionaires and
billionaires and it took away money from food stamps. Do you think about the term
in Senator Leavitt as an attempt to paint him in the same brush? No I use that term.
I've been using that term.
I don't shy away from using that term.
I've been most commonly referring to the left populists as the insurgent left.
It took away money from Medicaid, and it gave it to folks who didn't need that money, folks
who were millionaires and billionaires who have tons of extra money left over in the
bank after they pay their taxes.
One guy who is not lauding to the presence of democratic socialists is Senator John Federman
from Pennsylvania.
He says that anti-Semitism is becoming sort of, well, a norm, listen.
There's that strong correlation, anti-anti-Israel, drifting into anti-Semitism, very, very intensely,
anti-American.
And now, just here, that individual also believes.
This is literally just what Benjamin Indian said earlier on Fox news, by the way, he,
this fucking ogre is just, I assume he's looking at talking points whenever he does this kind
of thing.
But like this is straight up this cool, this, this brainbroken ogre.
He's not looking at talking boys. You can't read. Okay. He's just trying to remember the talking points
that deserve 9 11. And of course, Israel deserve the massacre of 10 7. That's that's been, you know, that's been building.
That Richard final thought he's a Democrat senator. Listen, I respect Senator Federman. I do disagree with him though.
Just this week, we saw some of our colleagues at the Roosevelt of the Roosevelt Library. One thing that wrote that
the most patriotic thing you can do is criticize the person that's in office.
And that's so uniquely American.
And I think you can say you have a problem with the Israeli government
without being anti-Israel or without being anti-Semitic.
And I think the idea of fighting for more social programs here at home
is uniquely distinct from saying that there's problems in our foreign policy.
And I think when you try to sort of combine the two, that's indeed problematic.
And I often think that's missing disinformation to many people in the audience.
All right, Richard Fowler will talk more about this down the road. I'm sure we'll thank you be right here

It will be the first of two happening at wood TV this week tonight is a Democrat hell. Yeah wood TV, baby
That's what we're fucking locked in on that's what we're tuning into
In 10 minutes, ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. We are watching Rose never
coming back on Fox. No, no, that's it. No, no, he is the defender of the Democrats on
Fox. He's on Fox all the time.
We have an Abdul link, don't we?
We have an Abdul fundraiser link, don't we?
Like a specific link, we'll pin it.
I'm excited to see what Abdul does
in a head-to-head matchup,
but I'm not gonna lie to you
and say that I'm not excited about hearing Haley Stevens.
Haley Stevens. What gives Abdul Abdul? What gives? It's what gives a clock. Ladies and
gentlemen.
Alright, primary debate for Michigan's open US Senate seat and Thursday is the debate for
the Republican primary for Michigan governor. Political reporter Rick Alvin will moderate
both debates. He joins us now live in the studio with a preview. Okay, Rick, the big night is here.
Debate one. Can I walk us through tonight what we can expect? Well, I think this has become a
much more important debate than perhaps we thought it was when we first started booking it. Because
as you know, Mallory McMorrow, the state senator had dropped out of this Senate race over the weekend
somewhat unexpectedly. So now you have two people, one a more established candidate, one a more
progressive candidate, and they will be right here at these podiums. Dr. Abdul El Sayed will be here.
Congresswoman Hailey Stevens will be right here. My podium is right back there, and we will be
talking to them about the issues that are important to the people of the state of Michigan,
including Amber, questions that you have prepared from our viewers that sent questions to us. So
tonight is going to be the night. It's the first night of debate week in Michigan, but it's the
night for these two candidates to make their argument to the entire state. We're on the
air in Detroit, in Flint, in Traverse City, in Alpina, in Marquette, in Lansing, and of
course right here in West Michigan.
I'm going to enter over the campaign. Can you please print this link tonight? I have
my link too, in turn, for the Abdul campaign. Don't worry, we'll link it. We're going to
We're going to link it. We're going to link it. Yeah, HP for Abdul El Sayed 26, AES 26.
All of those markets will have, oh, Hassan questions. Hassan, Conor, Nishikwash, is it
going? I doubt it. I don't even think Haley addresses that. It would be shocking if she
did. It would be shocking if she did. I think it's going to be like the, I don't think Haley
Steven has a charisma to do this, but I think she's going to try to navigate a conversation
around a connection between Abdull and Graham Platner.
The advantage that Haley has here as a woman is to drive home the misogyny allegations
somehow to be like, well, he didn't see what was so wrong with him because you're a misogynist
probably. But I don't think she'll bring that up because that demonstrably was a failure
for McMorrow. I just, I don't know. I mean, it depends. It depends on the instincts that they have,
right? Interesting change.
Anyway, there is a national review, Noah Rothman, Noisy Rothman, a national review went on CNN.
Jake Tapper, of course, invited him on to talk about this campaign after Mallory Moura
dropped out.
Let's take a look.
There are some interesting statements that Jake Tapper makes here that changes the tone
that he has covered me and this race with.
And I find that very interesting.
We'll take a look at it.
got a little bit more intense on Sunday.
Mallory McMorro dropped out narrowing the field to two.
It's a must win seat for Democrats.
Voters, Democratic voters will now decide
between Michigan Congresswoman Hailey Stevens,
more of an establishment figure,
and former state health official Dr. Abdul Al-Sayed
is a candidate running from the Bernie Sanders
wing of the party.
Does Al-Sayed have a chance, a better chance,
beating the Republican, the likely Republican nominee, former Congressman Mike Rogers. What
do you think, Jim?
Well, it's a two-stage process, right? I'm on the phone with some of my friends, I'm
from Michigan, some of my friends who are working in the state right now in politics.
I'll say it does have the momentum on the ground when it comes to activists. However,
Haley Stevens does have the money and the attention and the ability to now garner support.
Big Morrow had-
She does not have the attention. She just has the money. That's it. And the attention
born out of the money. But the money beats the money. That's the only time where we have
seen success in the entire history of post-Citizens United American elections, and even pre-Citizens
United American elections, where the longest time, I believe it was like 97% of races were
won by the side that had more money, the side that spent more money.
There have been a lot of defeats by the insurgent left candidates that were not able to out
raise, were not able to out raise their, their oftentimes APAC backed and outside expenditure
backed candidates.
As an endorsed anybody, so her supporters are still out there, so we don't know exactly
which way they go.
As if one person told me today, it's a jump ball, she won't happen.
Mike Rogers, this could be the state, I would say this is a Democrat, this could be the
state that surprises the country. You could end up having Mike Rogers win the Senate race
in Michigan and Sherrod Brown win the Senate race in Ohio. Like we could end up seeing
something very different happen on election day than maybe many people suspected six months
ago. How do you see the risk? The Democratic Senate, specifically the primary. Yeah, so
the New York Times alleged, not me, the New York Times alleged that, well, in the bottom
really fell out for McMorah, who was a rising star in democratic politics when
resistance was the name of the game, fell out when she criticized El Said for
campaigning with Hassan Piker, an influencer who is specialized in saying
inflammatory things like using one anti-Sahamas individual of being a pig
dog, of saying that the United States deserve 9-11, of saying that he prefers
Hamas over Israel, etc. etc. She tepidly criticized that and that was where the
bottom falls out, which is why it doesn't matter to me that McMorah was out of this
phrase. The problem is within the Democratic Party's primary electorate.
Of course, the National Review Guide is like, the problem is with the Democrats, which for the record,
for the record, certainly is an opinion that Jake Tapper also agrees with.
Okay? If you're mad about the insurgent left, you absolutely maintain this position. It doesn't
matter who this position is coming from. Okay? But yeah, Islamophobia equals tepid criticism,
by the way. No better example of the permissibility of Islamophobia, just like turning around,
turning around and claiming that I, you know, I'm an anti-Semitic terrorist,
like terror-jacketing your Muslim opponent and then trying to connect them to a synagogue attack,
a failed synagogue attack is perfectly permissible. Just tepid criticism, not tepid.
This is what they want. This is what they're going to get. And coupled with the news that we're
getting from Maine, it seems like the Democratic primary voters are subordinating what they
understand to be good sense and character in order to elevate individuals who channel their
passions and that's a big mistake. Well actually that's going around. The Republicans have been doing that for about a decade.
The question now is, people don't trust the establishment, they don't trust the institutions. So for those Democrats who are more establishment Democrats,
they need to listen to this. They need to figure out how they can become more vociferous argumenters for the outsider's view about changing the establishment
establishment and changing the institutions with policies that fit more inside of the
kind of 40 or 35 yard lines of democratic politics, small-gie democratic politics, where
we can all agree.
And we don't see, I think, the more establishment centrist Democrats having that kind of a voice
where they put their chest in it a little bit about taking on the institutions.
Do you think that Mike Rogers, assuming he becomes the Republican nominee, will have
an easier time beating one of these Democrats more than the other?
i think you'll have an marginally easier time against those states candidacy
that is not to say that this is a year that's going to favor republicans and
it's definitely a swing seat that could go either way
mic roger's campaign was choosing the candidate that they would go up against
it would not be the establishment terry and democrat
who's one competitive races in competitive districts before would be the
outsider who's not really very well-vetted who has a tension for
saying things that are inflammatory that in live in a very narrow still slept
uh... slither of the electorate
uh...
yeah totally
anti-israel anti-israel sentiment is just a narrow sliver of the electorate
famously
okay
uh... pro medicare for all just a totally narrow sliver of the electorate
as opposed to the fucking carpet bagger who lives in florida
who is a a uh... mercenary for big pharma
who's made decisions that have led to the the uh... opioid epidemic in this
country? Definitely. It's just, oh god, they're just begging. I mean, there's not a lot of
differences between this and fucking the debate started. Did it?
Are you are you lying to me?
Are you just saying that because it's three thirty?
Because usually it takes a little bit of a minute.
Supporters, let's let's hear about the other elements of the electorate.
So yes, Mike Rogers is going to have a better time against.
Do you disagree?
I think it's a weird year.
I think it's a weird year.
And we don't know how any of these things sort out that the anti Trump
fervor that exists is very big. The price problems that people are having where they
can't afford their day-to-day lives, that is very significant. We just don't know how
this is going to turn out on Election Day, but I will tell you, Michigan is in play.
And anybody who thinks that this is something Democrats are going to be able to win should
pay more attention to what's happening on the ground.
Do you think in any way, Noah, that President Trump, for instance, having dinner with Kanye
West and Nick Fuentes has set precedents where Dr. Alsayed, I'm not comparing Hassan Piker
to Nick Fuentes, but they're both contra-
See, that was an interesting admission from Jake Tapper.
Yeah.
When I heard that, I thought, damn, because he has done that in the past.
So what's going on?
I mean, even first of all, he is making that comparison. Obviously he's implying the comparison.
However, it is interesting that he mentions that he's not making this comparison.
I feel like these guys were not so careful with this comparison in the past.
They were playing fast and loose with it. It's interesting.
And polarizing that it kind of has just changed, changed the way that people look at these things.
It's possible not to defend the president's conduct because I think he has a tendency to, again, to
coordinate that kind of discretion to anybody who flashes a smile at him or bats her eyes at him.
That's not something that it lends itself to steady leadership.
However, I don't think Democrats are modeling themselves on anything the president has done,
or saying that the president has given us some kind of permission structure to be our worst selves.
They wouldn't admit that to themselves, nor would they, I think, behave that way in public.
What they're responding to is organic enthusiasm from their base voters that all of us can see that all of us in sense in the water
It's not something that I don't know if they can thread the needle that you're describing
How is Chuck Schumer going to say well we need robust policies that channel progressive enthusiasm
When what voters want is somebody who's going to attack Israeli supporters in anti-semitic terms
Who's going to say this is what this is what the new york times said the bottom fell out of
I don't think that that's the issue. Yeah. No, the New York Times didn't say that, uh,
Mallory McMorrow had to concede because the bottom fell out of her campaign because anti-Semitism
is awesome. Okay. I don't think they said that. As a matter of fact, the New York Times also didn't
even go so far as to call me an anti-Semitic podcaster or even a controversial one. As a
matter of fact, you just said left as far left streamer, uh, with a history of comments that,
you know, a far-left streamer that has accused Israel of maintaining an apartheid.
This particular race, I think the questions are about the cost questions taking on the
establishment. And yes, it is a problem that they also have these anti-Israeli and some
interpretant anti-Semitic views. That is a problem. But for the most part, Democrats just want
somebody who's going to take on the establishment and mix things up in Washington.
Yeah. I mean, I think you guys disagree. You see the same phenomenon. You say they're doing it,
despite it, and you're saying you're doing it because of it.
Yeah.
Interesting.
Democratic Senate.
Interesting perspective.
Where is this god dang debate, man?
Where is the debate?
Where is the debate?
The people want the debate.
Unique insight into this insurgent run as
Donate.
Donate.
Been doing for years.
Parked on a.
Hopefully, they'll release it.
The bat starts at 4pm your time.
I thought it was 3.30pm my time.
What happened?
What's interesting is CNN has unique insight into this insurgent run as Dony has been
following some of the work I've been doing for years and worked on a documentary and
put it on a documentary for sienna and hopefully they'll release it
the bot is at the top of the hour got it okay um this was a good take by the way i mean i've
already covered this a lot of any you know is a good take because a lot of people got mad at it
a lot of Zionists got mad at it
Um, Mumdani more popular than Nenyeh home on US Jews. The AP poll suggests that Mumdani's
positions on Israel have now prevented him from maintaining a net positive image among
American Jews overall. Perhaps you meant to say that Mumdani's positions on Israel have helped
in maintaining a net positive image among American Jews overall. Yes.
Um, no, I have the link. He's, uh, Abdul's doing an interview with Wood TV on the link that I'm,
I'm on right now. Yes, I saw the Gasparino.
Yeah, it's I wonder why Mamdani is 32 points more popular amongst American Jews than Benjamin
fucking Netanyahu? Hmm. Perhaps American Jews are American. They have American interests.
Perhaps American Jews are not so single-mindedly invested in the, uh, the defense of Israel
in the way that it is presented in mainstream media. I don't know. What the fuck would I know?
I'm presented as a radical anti-Semite. No longer similar to Nick Fuentes, but not so dissimilar
from Nick Fuentes, it seems, but not the same. But, you know, perhaps this kind of racialized
animus that they're trying to cook up against Muslim candidates who are anti-Zionists,
Whether they be Zoram, Omdani, or Abdel El Sayed is complete and utter fucking bullshit.
And most American Jews look to this and go, I agree with him. Let's take a look.
I can speak for myself. I love and revere Judaism and Jewish people. I love and revere
Palestinians and their tradition and culture and history. I love revere the kids that I'm supposed
to serve or I've been served. I heard both, thank you for the 25th county and the 10 million people
I helped to serve here in Michigan. And because of my love for all three of these groups,
I cannot allow our tax dollars to be misappropriated away from these kids whose parents paid those tax dollars to go
Bomb and destroy the lives of Palestinian people. I'm just not gonna be okay with that
Now I can't speak for the intentionality of other people. I
You know, I know that anti-Semitism exists and it's a very dangerous force
but I also know that trying to
melt the interests of
Judaism and the Jewish people with the interests of a super PAC in a foreign
government itself risks exacerbating anti-Semitism because just like I don't
want to be held accountable for what the Egyptian government does because I
share ethnicity with the people who live in Egypt I don't think Jewish people in
Michigan or America want to be held accountable for what the Israeli
government does because they share ethnicity or faith with the people who
live in Israel. And so we have to be able to create a very clear line between those two.
Now I know what it is like to be discriminated against for how I pray and my ethnicity. And
as such I will always stand forthrightly against anti-Semiticism in every form and every shape
here in America. And I've called it out. And I find it deeply frustrating when people
use anti-Semitic terms to attack the Jewish people because of what Israel and its government are doing.
Um, there's another even better quote where he is this
myself
Yeah, all right. No, this is this is the one never mind where so a lot of people got very mad about this and
People were just straight up like oh dude, you're fucking anti-Semite for saying this I
I will never understand where that intensity comes from.
I think some people are straight up living in fucking La La Land.
When I was in Michigan, I met with people who said they, said the way for Abdel Alsaid
to be Haley Seyfus would be to just play her a clip saying Israel comes to me and my dreams
over and over again.
Now his campaign is build a website that does just that.
I will continue to fight for the people of Israel, I will continue to fight for Israel's
existence.
Israel comes to me in my dreams, I see Israel's future and in the United States Congress.
There is no way. There is no way, make it stop, donate is funny. There is no way that
this clip played anywhere in Michigan. Bro, you play this in a normal synagogue in Michigan,
okay? You play this clip in a normal synagogue in Michigan with a, a individuals that are
are to varying degrees sympathetic to Israel. And they're gonna be like, this is crazy.
Actually, this is a crazy thing to say. What gives is what people would say, okay? Because
it's insane. It's an insane thing to say. Now, I wanna see what happens when you click
on more Haley, hold on.
Israel comes to me in my dream. Oh no
In the United States Congress maximum Haley
To fight for Israel's existence Israel comes to me in my dreams. I see Israel's future
And in the United States Congress, oh
Oh, yeah, William Lawrence. Yeah. Yeah, I'm down to I'm down to help out on that one. He's a really interesting candidate himself
What gives as a United States member of Congress, I will fight for Israel's a crazy thing to say
You don't even have to be anti-Israeli think that's ridiculous
Yeah, this is one of those things where it's like, yo, you're laying it on too big like that's crazy with the foot
But anyway, my girl is on, sorry.
My show is on, my girl is on.
You've got the Michigan getting it done here.
What do you do to maintain, retain,
and expand the manufacturing base
that has been such a critical part of Michigan's economy?
Well, I think the advocacy and the leadership
that we deserve, that Michigan deserves,
in the US Senate is about focusing on the consistency,
certainty for businesses.
They can't wake up every other day to another trade rule or another tariff.
You know, we had 50 kind of tariff announcements in a hundred days.
And that really caused things to go out of whack, you know, here in the West side of our
state, certainly, you know, in the East side, and then you seat up in the UP, you know,
with small business revenues being down, a trade war with Canada, that doesn't work.
So those are the complaints, but the solutions about how to do 21st century.
Yeah, this is actually the counter to counteract their fax website about him. What Abdul said
slash what Abdul did see for yourself. We're growing. This is the big claims, Braggs and
promises Abdul said made and what really happened. We limited 700 million in medical debt for
Wayne County residents. Fact check. I'll do all that over state's claim. He raised 700
million in medical debt.
Abdul said he removed lead from Detroit's elementary schools, Detroit polling schools, shut off
all drinking water after test shows. I like that. I like that. They're like, no, it wasn't
sufficient enough.
And then of course all the shit that all the city would make sure that folks were safe
and Wayne County juvenile detention facility that he rebuilt the entire facility from
the studs flooded with sewage and garbage Michigan's L San City rebuild the trouble
Detroit area juvenile. This is from Town Hall by the way.
This article about the trip public school shutting off all drinking water
is from 2018.
Interesting.
Yeah. Obdol said it's packed southpaw would harness all the people power from his failed
2018 gubernatorial campaign and put it behind the great progressive candidates. I'll say
a PAC spent majority of fun on consultants. I'll say it's a PAC spent paltry some on candidates
big on consultants.
Obdol said he was a physician. Obdol did. Oh, they're saying they're, they're hitting
the physician line, he had been in public service for 10 years.
He spent the rest of his dollars running for office, running a podcast as a graduate student.
August said he turned around a broken animal care system in Detroit as health director.
They're saying that that heartbroken citizen has blamed Detroit animal, wait, half of these
are from like literally like during his tenure or before what the fuck it's such a sleazy
attack is literally fundamentally true it's just how time works it would have been saying
like a ten year investment bill isn't reaching the funding levels two years in no shit there's
eight years left. Yeah. I mean, if this is what they got, if this is what they got, it's
not good. It's not looking too good. It's also not great that you can't click on the
articles. Certainly not great that many of the articles are from a time when the timeline
is not matching up, you know, yeah, also a doing a whole like here are, here are lines
of attack.
Here is, this is not the sign of a winning campaign running a negative ad, like running
a negative attack ad against Abdul El Sayed is supposed to be issued by PACs so that you
have some plausible deniability. Okay? Having a campaign straight up be like, here are the
bullet points as to why this guy's bad. Failed to reach like a significant standard. One
of it is literally fucking saying that he lied about being a doctor when he didn't,
right?
only screenshots of article headlines. Oof. Um, whereas this is obviously a joking response.
If you want to read this one, pretty much shuts down the attack right away. Else I add, claim
to have already erased 700 medical debt on true in the comments of the free press and
a TV adverse campaign, neither he nor the health department has done so.
A corner of fact check done by the free press, which by the way, Detroit free press endorsed
Mallory McMarrow just saying. I'll say I did as Wayne County health director position
he held before leaving to run for the democratic nomination for Michigan's open U S Tennessee
helped put in place a program to eliminate that level of debt and efforts still touted
on the county's website. Oh, oh, I'm sorry. So we secured funds to eradicate 700 million
dollars of medical debt, and the program started and the program is still continuing. The comment
is correct. But nowhere near that level of medical debt has in fact been erased thus far.
that's awesome
that's fucking dope man thank you this is this is reminding me of like Bernie
Sanders levels of attack when they would just like
When they would just hit like the minutiae, the most like insane, the most insane, like
oh Bernie Sanders says he wants Medicare for all, but what if someone doesn't get Medicare
in this plan?
What if eight people refute, what if eight people don't even get Medicare in this plan?
Would you, could you technically say it's for all?
It's like, it's just so bad.
You are 1% pretending to be a part of the 99% lem-ow dog.
You see this?
I'm wearing a suit.
You can't even say I'm pretending to be of the working class any longer.
I got the suit on.
Okay?
i got the motherfucking suit on bitch
what you mean
it's big baller time
you understand
columbia is out
what
kids
lumbia is out i'm gonna kill myself by don't do it
i thought it was important to talk to you and get your perspective as somebody
who has
been a member of the legislature somebody who has been in charge of the party
How important are primary elections,
and as we prepare for this debate,
how important are these moments
as your party is going to select a candidate
for an open U.S. Senate seat?
Yeah, well, I think your first question
about how important the primary debates are,
excuse me, the primary itself is right on point.
This is a hugely important primary.
The United States Senate is in play this year,
and whoever the Democratic nominee is,
is going to have a real heck of a race in November
against Mike Rogers.
So the winner of this primary is going
to be the standard bearer.
And whoever comes out of it is going
to have to come out strong and be
able to unite the Democratic Party and the base
to take on a formidable candidate on the other side.
If memory serves me, in your time as chairman,
you were pretty successful in having candidates that
didn't have primaries, which there
is a certain advantage to that because there
things said in primaries that can't be unsaid in the general, but there is also the other
school of thought that a robust primary can really kind of strengthen candidates as they
move into the general. Is there a preference from your standpoint?
Yeah, you know, look, you can make good arguments on either side. I think the reality is we
have a robust primary. And I think for the foreseeable future, you're going to have robust
primaries up and down the ticket, whether it's for United States Senate governor or
even down here to state rep. You've got different visions of the party. You've got folks kind
of represented by Abdul El Said who are who are looking to make significant changes to the party,
particularly its leadership. You have other candidates like Hailey Stevens, who's I think
wants to make change but might not represents a little bit more of kind of the establishment
part of the party. So there's going to be those fights that come up. I think the important thing
for Democrats is that people keep it to issues, positions, policies, beliefs and not get personal
and really focus on what's important, which is going to be winning the seat in November.
Yeah. And as you point out, that's going to be quite a race because we already know that
my Grodgers has an established campaign mechanism out there. He came within that close two years ago,
but there are some changes. Donald Trump is not on the ballot, at least his name is not on the ballot.
And so that may make some change for Republicans, but when it comes right down to it, this isn't
just about representing Michigan, although that's the most important part. This is about control
of the United States Senate. Yeah, it's a national race. I mean, gone are the days when sleepy Michigan
Senate races really didn't mean much to accept to the people of Michigan. This race and a couple,
a handful of others around the country are going to determine control of the United
States Senate and for Democrats. And I think for for independents and some others as well,
making a strong message to put a check on Donald Trump and his presidency is something that's
very important. So this seat is going to be, I'm sure there's going to be all eyes on the debate
here around the country here, Rick, and there's going to be all eyes on the race here from now until
that first Tuesday in November. You know, we have had in this state a long-tenured set of senators
with Carl Levin who was there for 36 years, Senator Debbie Stabenow there for 24 years,
and now all of a sudden
we're going to have a two
year senator who will be the senior senator from michigan i mean that's unusual for us very unusual
and so this all kind of happens as the senators in play oh god he did newsmax point on it but
the democratic i'm sorry is kind of that is a level of desperado i have never i never thought
Dude, Newsmax?
Chris Cuomo's outlet Newsmax.
Adam Friedland doesn't do fucking Newsmax any longer.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, B.B.
Go on OAN.
Dude, this is.
Isn't that Newsnation?
Wait, no, Newsmax is even worse.
Newsmax is the right wing one.
I was thinking of news nation. Oh my God. Newsmax is even more insane.
Oh, newsmax is where people go when they're incredibly accused of sexual
assault at Fox News. My mistake.
Newsmax is like, dude, Benjamin and Yahoo, go on Mike Lindell's television
network. Next.
Look with Israeli.
Ninjahu and Fox News Times to CNN Newsmax in under 48 hours.
He tells Greta that the Iran war started when Iran was with a
verge of making nuclear weapons.
One week ago, June 1st, he said the war started when there were
already atomic bombs in Iran's hands.
Mr. Prime Minister, nice to talk to you again, sir.
Bro, this is in the same.
This is like I'm telling you, this is straight up like this is
if you went on the Lindell television, Lindell TV, holy fuck, big yahoo is desperate dude,
holy fuck. Benjamin and yahoo might do fortnight friday at this point, not to say that there
is any desperation in doing fortnight friday, it's the greatest and most reliable source
in news media.
And this is wild.
Why is this flag so shiny?
Cause it's fake.
This is fake.
All right, let's hear what else you have to say.
Good to talk to you, Greta.
Mr. Prime Minister, President Trump.
Wait.
Oh, Scott Jennings was sweating on seeing it
when they asked him to call McConnell.
You think he'd be willing to call into the show?
Could we get him on the phone now?
You know, I wasn't really expecting him to call this morning.
to be honest, uh, uh, so when the phone rang and I was able to talk to him, I was, I was
frankly pretty grateful.
I mean, as a right now, the only existing evidence of Mitch McConnell's proof of life
is notorious liar, serial pab fabulous Scott Jennings, Trump defender, uh, Trump supporter
Scott Jennings claiming that he had a long and extensive conversation with Mitch McConnell.
That's his proof of life. It's awesome. Jack Kimball. What is this? Oh, oh yeah. MTG went
on the view and, and said some crazy stuff. I heard spoke to my old friend, Mitch McCall
this morning, the senior center from Kentucky. He's still recovering in the hospital. We walked,
we talked just shy of 45 minutes. He's so sharp. Just like he always lets me do all
the talking. He's a great listener. After that, we, this is fake, by the way, this is
a parody account. After that, we prayed silently for a while and had a staring contest. Just
like always, he beat me. I told him, we want to see him back at work as soon as possible.
Yeah, once again. So that's a, that's a parody account that's making fun of, of this Scott Jennings
take who, like I said, is the only person who is the only person in the United States of America
who's offering proof of life for Mitch McConnell, which, you know, you got to take his word for it,
obviously. Uh, I, I've, I've reposed it as a brand-aiding McConnell to levels we haven't seen
with Brandon. I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior senator from
Kentucky. He's still recovering in the hospital. We talked to Shai of 20 minutes about Iran,
Ukraine, the unfolding situation in Maine, my visit to the, to the TR presidential library,
and even a little bit of Senate history. I told him, we want to see him back at work as soon as possible.
As I said, I've known him since I was a teenager. If it hadn't been for Mitch McConnell and
McConnell's center at the University of Louisville, you know, I would never have been able to go
to college. She's been my mentor and he changed my life. So, you know, when things happen.
Wait, Thune also? McConnell talked to Thune and Barossa yesterday and today, respectively,
Perth Thune, spokesperson, leader of Thune, spoke with Senator McConnell yesterday by
phone. So what's gonna happen when we find out that he's dead and has been? Okay? What is what then?
I guess nobody gives a fuck about the truth at all. So no one will be punished. Bro, his wife
flew to China moments after he had a cardiac arrest. Okay? His wife is not even here.
She was too busy going to China to talk to the vice president of China
What the fuck are we talking about?
Jared Ford hold on
I'll say it, there really is an opportunity to either pick politics as usual, or politics as different
people desperately want politics as different right now.
U.S. Representative Haley Stevens.
I see this as a made in Michigan moment, and we have a story to tell, and we need a champion in the United States Senate.
Who earns the chance to carry the Democratic banner into one of the most consequential center places in the country?
The choice is yours.
Live from the wood TV studios and Grand Rapids and your local election headquarters
This is night one of jump eight week in Michigan Democratic Senate primary
I'm Rick Alvin your moderator for tonight's debate along with Amber Crisco who will be here with your questions
Candidates welcome to you. I welcome to viewers of that was the state watch this mode the way they started that I'm fired up
I'm fucking fired up, dude.
I'm fucking fired up, dude.
You're bad!
It's not a bad debate!
Let's have a try not to laugh for the red power challenge of possible...
No, not where my girl Hayley's on.
I'm already smiling.
What? Yes!
eliminate the rebuttal or adjust the length of time
to answer the question.
There is no opening statement.
There will be a 60 second closing.
It is time for our first question in debate week in Michigan.
Again, welcome to both of you.
The first question we'll go to you, sir.
The number one issue facing people from coast to coast
and right here in Michigan is no surprise.
It's inflation, it's affordability,
everything costs too much.
You can't fix it all, but if you're elected to the U.S. Senate,
tell me one proactive thing you would do
to make Michiganders' lives more affordable.
60 seconds, sir.
I've been up and down my state.
110 different cities, 450 public events.
No matter where I go, people say the same thing.
I just can't afford to live here anymore.
I'm so worried about the price of groceries.
I can't afford my gas.
It's five bucks.
I'm worried about getting sick
because I can't afford my deductible.
There's a number of things we need to do.
Number one, we need to tackle health care
by guaranteeing everybody health care
without a deductible, a premium,
or a copay through Medicare for all.
Number two, we need to stand up
to the monopolies and oligopolies
that are picking our pockets.
Number three, we need to stand up to increase wages.
And that means standing with unions like the UAW
and the nurses who've endorsed us.
It means making sure that we are standing with Michiganders
in their moments of crisis by making schools
somewhere that our kids can go
by addressing the potholes that cause punctured tires
every time you try to drive anywhere.
But all of this has to happen
by way of getting the corruption out of our politics.
So long as corporations are buying politicians,
we can actually enact these solutions
because they're getting the policies
that they signed up for when they pay for their politicians.
That was much bigger than 60 cents.
Well, thank you so much for TD
and to everyone across Michigan,
tuning in tonight.
As your next United States Senator,
I will run through anyone in anything to lower costs.
My no tariff on groceries bill,
My bill to lower your utility bill.
Look, I'm the only person running for United States
and Michigan who is not a millionaire.
I am not trying to sell a book or a podcast.
I'm the only one on this stage who doesn't have
a talent agent trying to pitch me for paid speeches.
And unlike my opponent,
I'm not running at the first mic or camera I see.
Instead, my head is down doing the work
for the people of Michigan who need the work to be done.
We do not need a celebrity senator.
We need a workhorse.
And as the most effective lawmaker
for Michigan in the House of Representatives,
if you want a fighter and an effective leader for our state,
that's me.
Oh, sorry.
We also don't need politicians bought off by corporations.
In this race, you've probably seen
add after add after add not one of those ads was brought to you by the
congresswoman's campaign all of them brought to you by corporate packs and
APAC trying to buy a politician who's going to do their bidding instead of
yours that's been the story of our politics for far too long the question
is not what you're a millionaire the question is whether or not you are
bowing down to billionaires and for too long in our politics we've watched
politicians beg for those dollars only to do that bidding when they actually get
to office that has been the story of my opponent if you want politics is
different I'm the only one who's never taken a dime from a corporation
Well look transparency is oh so important and this is why I have released my tax returns.
My opponent Abdul, he said that transparency is key but yet he hasn't released his tax
returns.
Abdul you talk about getting money out of politics and putting money in people's pockets
but who is putting money in yours?
What are you hiding?
to our next question it'll be first to you Congresswoman with a 60-second response. The
Trump administration had been negotiating an agreement to end the conflict in Iran but
within the last hour we are told that the United States military has launched a series
of what they call powerful strikes after commercial ships were struck in the Strait of Hormuz.
The question is what should our policy be going forward with Iran? 60 seconds.
Well, our next United States Senator has one mission and one mission only, and that is
to fight for the people of Michigan and represent the people of Michigan's interests.
Donald Trump selling us out to this war in Iran that no one asked for, that is raising
costs for every Michigander, is totally unacceptable.
But here's the deal.
In terms of the goal that I have long fought for and pushed for in the United States House
representatives in what I will work for in the United States Senate, we need
long-term peace. Donald Trump has failed us. The Prime Minister of Israel has
failed in that regard. And he was just coming after me on this today. Look, I am
unafraid of Michigan. You are my North Star and no illegal wars, no unilateral
wars at our expense. 60 seconds. I think it's worth asking why we got into this
war in the first place. There is one man who's been wanting this war fought and
And that is the prime minister of Israel.
And the reason that we've seen this war fought is because the impact of APAC in our politics.
APAC has spent tens of millions of dollars in attack ads against me or ads lying about
the congresswoman's record.
They clearly want one individual and it's not me.
And ask yourself why it is that we are paying $5 gas?
Why is it that we're paying $5 gas?
It's because for too long our foreign policy has been handed to us by the likes of the
coordinated
israel coordinated
that on senate
democrats and republicans
100%
are doing their bidding
i don't take that money
they are spending against me
because they've called me
the most dangerous candidate
for the u.s. israel relationship
because maybe i don't want
to waste our money
fighting wars we don't need
to spend and instead
i want that spent here
to rebuild our schools here
to make sure we have
functional infrastructure
here in michigan
to make sure that we have
healthcare here in michigan
and so long as our politicians
continue to be bought off
by apac do not be surprised
when we fight wars
that are in their best
interest to annex israel
to annex lebanon
or to do genocide in Gaza.
Congresswoman 36.
Well, Abdul, I would say no one is afraid of you.
And in fact, the GOP is spending thousands of dollars
to prop up your campaign because they think
they will make it easier for Mike Rogers
to win if you are the nominee.
I do not plan to make anything easier for Republicans.
Stop slamming the dead.
All I do is I take on tough races.
Also, here's a good counter.
Tough races, and I'm going to pass.
You say GOP's spending money on me.
Guess who is also spending money on your APAC funded by two of the owners makes it or Mike Rogers wins either way Israel will win
APAC is perfectly fine with either of my two opponents because they know that they will have a comfortable reliable vote in the US Senate
If you want politics to work for you
If you want politics to rebuild your schools or fix your infrastructure or to invest in your health care
You have an alternative choice. We're running get money out of politics put money in your pocket and pass Medicare for all
There's a reason that both Schumer and Donald Trump don't want to see me on the inside of the US Senate
Because I'm a threat to politics as usual
Moving on but saying in the Middle East despite a ceasefire
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues and Israel maintains that eliminating Hamas remains essential to its security
What if any is the role of the United States in trying to resolve this long-standing impasse 60 seconds, sir?
I'll tell you this for a long time every president has said that they believe in a two-state solution
The problem, of course, is that our policy has been to subsidize the Israeli military
to the tune of billions of your tax dollars every single year.
And their goal is to foreclose on the possibility of a Palestinian state.
I believe in international law.
I believe we have to hold every country to international law, which means to me that
we need to stop funding the Israeli military and unilateral blank checks that also includes
Egypt, that includes Saudi Arabia.
I also believe that we cannot continue to sell weapons to a country that is doing human
and rights abuses, genocide and apartheid.
I also believe that we'll stop running cover
for what has become a rogue state
that is now trying to annex Southern Lebanon.
And I also believe that your money needs to be spent here.
Because at the end of the day, the ultimate losers
are you and me, the taxpayers,
who paid that money to provide good infrastructure,
build schools, provide healthcare for our own kids,
not to watch it get sent to buy bombs and tanks
that end up annihilating other people and their children.
Congress, one of the 60 seconds.
The goal has to be long-term peace, and this is what I have longed work for.
I stood alongside families who had relatives taken hostage by Hamas, and I called for a
permanent ceasefire.
The difference between my opponent and myself on this issue is that I believe in a two-state
solution.
I can say that Israel has a right to peacefully exist alongside the people of Palestine and
Gaza. It is very clear that Mr. Netanyahu has not made us safer, has not brought us
closer to peace, and he's endangered Jews here in America and around the world.
This is why he was just trashing me today on CNN. I am not afraid to stand up and I
continue to stand up for humanitarian aid, for the U.S. to work with the
countries in the region and get aid into Gaza.
Thirty seconds.
Look, I believe in equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination for Palestinians
and Jewish Israelis alike.
But the question I think the congressman needs to answer is why has she allowed $40 million
of outside spending, the bulk of it from APAC, to come to this room?
I don't think that Jimenez and Nancey are going to actually attack her.
I think he's attacking her to try and steer away the stink of how staunchly she stands for their policy
So let's take that opportunity to explain
Bring it up to Nitya Alger to some to
APAC support in this race
Oh my god, it's coordinated. Oh my god
And no one oh my god, it's 100% coordinated
Anybody who is contributing to your mindset
Does Shanawats also fucking saying it?
Oh, Nitya, your ass is cooked by Haley
What I did when I served as chief of staff on the U.S. auto rescue saving 200,000 Michigan jobs and what I have done
To get the chips and science act passed and signed into law what my opponent needs to answer is why is the GOP?
Spending thousands of dollars to prop up his campaign saying that he will make my gragers the next U.S.
Senator all right, we're gonna move on as I told you before we started we have a lot of viewer questions
Amber Crisker is my colleague and she will be presenting those you'll be able to see them there
you'll be able to hear them in the studio if for any reason they are not clear let me know and I
will repeat them here is Amber with our first viewer question a lot of questions on this next
topic bipartisanship this is from Mark Newman oh god in the spirit of bipartisanship talk specifically
about how you will reach across the aisle a particular project that you will champion that
that will require working with the opposing party.
Congresswoman, 60 seconds.
Well, I don't have to just talk about what I would do.
I can certainly talk about what I have done
in terms of passing bipartisan legislation
like the Chips and Science Act.
But to answer our viewers question very specifically,
I have a plan to lessen Michigan
and the United States dependence on China
to lower cost and to create those good manufacturing jobs.
is day one legislation for me in the United States Senate. And look, there is a reason why the Center
for Effective Lawmaking recognized me as the most effective lawmaker for Michigan in the Congress,
because I fight for us, I win for us. Debbie Stabenow has endorsed my campaign. Our Attorney
General Dana Nessel has endorsed me for the United States Senate because of their results for Michigan
and them seeing the same in me.
And so yes, when we talk about manufacturing,
when I bring in my supply chain bill to the floor,
I feel really excited about getting other colleagues
on the Republican side to join me.
Thank you, move on.
Dr. LC, I had 60 seconds.
I'm proud to have been endorsed by the UAW.
And the reason that they've endorsed me
is because they understand that I am a fighter
for working people.
I can tell you that there is bipartisan support already
to blow up the USMCA, which has been a cancer
on our manufacturing industry in Michigan
and the industrial Midwest in general.
That is a bill, of course,
that my colleague actually voted for.
And I think there's bipartisan consensus
that that has been a danger.
We have an opportunity to rethink trade policy
and make sure that we're protecting good union jobs
in this state and in this country.
And I think that means rethinking how we do tariffs.
Now, Donald Trump's version of tariffs is like chemo therapy,
but you give the patient all the chemo at the same time.
I think there's an opportunity where you pace it out.
You think critically about how you protect
critical budding manufacturing industry, and that you are transparent with your trading
partners about how you do this in an effort to build long term sustainable manufacturing
jobs. I've heard a lot from Republicans saying that they want to bring manufacturing jobs
back. Let's roll up our sleeves, work together to get that done.
Thirty seconds, Cogger phone.
Well, NAFTA was a crap deal, and it hurt a lot of Michiganders. And what is also hurting
us right now are Donald Trump's reckless policies that Mike Rogers has said he wants
to rubber stamp. There's a reason why the Gordy Howe Bridge isn't open and Mike Rogers
is rubber stamping that. There's a reason why a trade war is going on with Canada. Small
businesses all over Michigan losing revenues as a result. I thought it was going to take
time to try. I've got the bill to do that and to lessen our dependence and grow manufacturing
jobs. I've done it once before and I'll do it again as Michigan's next senator.
Thirty seconds. And the reason that the big corporations always get their way when it
it comes to free trade is because they buy off politicians to do their bidding.
Everybody knew USMCA was not going to solve the problem.
Everybody knew it.
And yet, they bought the votes to get their way.
And now you can buy a cheap TV, but you can't find a manufacturing job that can actually
feed your family.
That is the devastation of corporate bought politics.
It's the only candidate who's never taken a dime from the corporation you know I'm
going to stand up for you.
It's the reason.
Again, W, nurses, AFT have all supported us because when it comes to the choice between
working people and corporations, I will pick people every time.
Yeah, and it's the only reason you haven't released your tax returns and 15 labor unions
are endorsing me.
Amber has another quick response, quickly, very quickly.
Yeah, I took the same extension that the congressman took every single year.
I'm talking about your tax returns, and all you haven't released your tax returns.
We don't need an extension to do that.
I think there's a process for that.
Who's putting money in your pocketbook?
We're going to move forward with another viewer question.
Amber is here with another viewer who wants to know where the two of you stand.
Is the Democratic Party shifting?
Joe Bieland has our next question.
He says many of my friends who are Democrats are very concerned with the way the party
has shifted so far left that the party no longer accurately represents their views.
Will you continue on the current party path or will you pursue your own path of leadership?
No.
Just a few seconds for you.
I'll pursue my own path of leadership, educated by the countless days that I spent talking
in Michigan is across a hundred and ten cities
four hundred and fifty
are all here's the thing about it there is no left or right most people out
there are asking where do i fit on the left right spectrum they're asking
can afford my groceries when i go grocery shopping what's gonna happen if i get
sick or my kid gets sick
why does my kids school look the same way it did thirty years ago when i went
there
and i don't know is that for too long
for a response to the aisle have taken the same corporate corrupt money
i'm the only candidate on the stage
the only candidate running for U.S. Senate who's never taken a dime of that money. Which is why
the real issue is about the people locking you out of your politics versus the people being
locked out. And I will stand always on the side of the folks who are locked out. That is a pathway
in our politics that I think all of us can get behind. It's not red, it's not blue, it's not
Democrat, it's not Republican, it's American, government of the people, by the people and for
the people. That is where our politics needs to go. And in the next 250 years, when we get to
I hope we remember that 60 seconds I will run through anything in anyone to
deliver why does he say we've got to lower the cost look there are many who
want to run through about Washington DC insider deals and what's going on with
our party leadership friends this is about the future of Michigan who is
going to be the workhorse. Look, I've got the receipts. I have passed big pieces of legislation.
I passed my first bill to secure STEM grants for our K-12 schools in my first year in Congress.
I am ready to hit the ground for our schools, for our educators, and to stand up to the corruption
and the abuse of power that we see coming down from Donald Trump. If you want to stop Trump
I'm your gal.
The question was about the direction of the party.
Is it shifting?
I'll tell you this.
It won't shift if we continue to elect leaders
who take money from the same corporations
who have broken with the interests of the American public.
Chuck Schumer desperately wants one of us to be the next senator,
and it's not me.
So if you want your politics dictated you by APAC or Chuck Schumer,
then I'm not your guy.
I think we need to go back to the idea of government of the people,
by the people, and for the people.
$40 million of spending in this race.
$40 million, I want you to think about what that means.
That's money that buys something on the back end.
So if you elect the person who took that money,
don't be surprised when they betray you.
30 seconds.
Again, I have the receipts as the most effective
lawmaker for Michigan.
I'm not trying to go viral or get a good tweet out, all right?
If you check the facts, the claims that my opponent
has made about the medical debt are untrue.
If that's all you got to run on a duel, well then good for you.
It's worth noting here that over the weekend, a third candidate that was in this race dropped
out.
That leaves the two of you, one of you will face Republican Mike Rogers as you both talked
about a little bit here.
Congresswoman Stevens, you've been endorsed as you said by former Senator Debbie Stabenow,
former Governor Jennifer Granholm, and as you said by the Attorney General.
who have
mister outside been endorsed by bernie sanders congresswoman alexandria
castley or cortez and a number of others
i've been with both of your websites long list of endorsements
is this race
not only about control of the u.s senate which it may welcome down to
but is this race also
for
control of the democratic party is is there something else on the line
These are really good questions by the way.
Well, I'm not going to let the political progress together to make any such determination.
For me, this has always been about Michigan.
I'm the daughter of small business owners from Matt St. Olson University.
My dad is 81 years old and still driving his Ford F-150 with the word Stephen's landscaping on the side,
and he's drinking his water.
It's that value of hard work, that ethos that I grew up with that has always long motivated
my approach to public service.
And the reason I have put up my hand to run for the US is because of what I'm hearing
from Michiganders, because a fully paralyzed veteran reached out to me and asked me if
he was still going to get his benefit check because he saw Elon Musk walking around with
the chainsaw.
Oh, she's doing this thing.
She's doing the Kamala thing.
My mother was a small business, my father was an F-115.
And you better believe from the United States Senate, Michigan's voice will be heard with
me.
60 seconds.
I never intended to run for office.
I want to be a doctor.
I want to be a doctor because I could go 15 hours to my family's native Egypt or 15
minutes from where I grew up.
I went to medical school only to realize that our healthcare system was in fact part of the
problem, not part of the solution.
I went into public health, we eliminated medical debt, yes, my father drank water.
With the glasses on kids' faces, we took on corporate polluters, we provided free health
insurance.
He did the things that for too long government fails to do under leadership that is bought
off by corporations.
I'm running to do three things.
Get money out of politics.
Put money in your pocket.
Pass Medicare for all.
I'm not doing this because of some direction of a party.
I'm doing this because of the Michiganders that I've gotten to see.
A woman who had cancer three times and happened to hold on, managed to hold on to her life
savings until the third one.
A woman who lost her entire life savings because her kid got cancer and died.
who have come and shared their burden with us. If we continue to allow corporations to buy our
politicians, do not be surprised when everything gets more expensive and your job gets further
out of reach. That is the politics that is corrupting now and we need different. 30 seconds.
Well, transparency remains really key here. You can see my tax returns. I've made them public.
Again, I call my opponent to do the same because we do need to know those like you've been you've
You've been bought us all by every corporation as she keeps going.
You haven't returned your tax return.
I've been busy doing the work for Michiganders.
Period.
Full stop.
Power Outage Relief Act.
I mean, he's eventually going to release them, so it's really funny that that's so.
The line of attack.
So what to do?
We've got a supply chain security.
I've got a bill for that.
I am ready to go for us in Michigan on day one.
30 seconds for wrap.
Let's talk about power outages.
People sleeping in dark rooms without electricity for the fourth straight day.
My opponent is taking $37,500 from DTE.
Ask yourself what that buys.
Our politics have been deeply and profoundly corrupted
by corporate money, and I want to get money out.
You won't talk about transparency.
There's a group called Center Forward
that happened to pay for a flight for the congresswoman
and her mother to Portugal.
I want to understand what she promised them in return.
You won't talk about transparency.
Why are there $40 million flowing into our politics
right now in support of my opponent?
Well, and again, I have the receipts,
and I have the bill to say to the community
explain the receipts. So, yes, I've got to have multiple bills.
I'll give you a chance when we come back in a moment. But first, we're going to take
a break. And when we come back in 90 seconds, we're going to talk about
something that has been discussed a lot in the past few months, and that's
immigration enforcement and ICE. That's coming up.
But first, we're going to take a break. The candidates will enter
the spin room once our debate concludes. There is a QR code right now
that we'll take you to our live. We have to link right for Abdul. Support Abdul also has support
actually existing socialism, AES. There's a pin link chat. Wow, right off the rip, right off the
rip. Oh my God, what an annihilation. Haley Stevens already has a lot of issues keeping up with Abdul
because Abdul has done podcasts. He is a media guy, right? He has media experience. He has
on-camera experience. And Haley Stevens clearly doesn't. Haley is trying to turn that weakness
into a strength by being like, oh, well, you're in front of all the cameras all the time. And it's
like, well, you're running for fucking Senate, like you should be as well. You're in front of every
television station all the time because there's $40 million of ad spend for you coming from
fucking APEC. So the charisma gap is so fucked up. It's perverse. It's like, it's already
a wrap on that front. But then also, on top of that, Hailey Stevens is just not a very
good politician. And by that, I mean, like, you know, she's a regular ass establishment
Democrat. That's the reason why Chuck Schumer endorsed her and wanted her to win. And, and
for that reason, she's bought a soul. So, Abdul is like hammering that line over and over again,
talking about, you know, money out of money, out of politics, money in your pockets, Medicare for
all. That's already great messaging discipline, easy to understand. Because remember, there's a lot
of people that are listening to this for the first time ever. Not a lot of people watch these
debates, but there's going to be a lot of clips after the fact as well. But yeah, when you look
at Haley Stevens' voting record, stopped 11 on war powers resolution that happened last week,
sent Israel 26 billion more in eight after it killed 34,000 plus people, sent Israel another
17 billion in eight, a failed bill Biden would have vetoed, banned the State Department from
citing Gaza Ministry of Health death tolls, sanctioned ICC officials as they sought justice
against the Israeli war criminals, expressed disgust at South Africa's suit, accusing Israel of genocide
and praise by this folks person John Kirby calling the case meritless counterproductive
and completely without base in fact whatsoever express gratitude for eyes just like Wesley Bell
and forced through the TikTok sale or Bennett in the US if it wasn't sold. So
he set up a trap. She's talking about her resume and he's talking about the problems
in the status quo. Her resume obviously didn't help that too. I will say we don't know.
No, I mean, this is coordinated, okay?
This is 100% coordinated, I had to make note of this for the record, it's back, okay, let's
get into it.
Don't want to be clear, I went to Minneapolis at the Hyder Project Metro surge.
I watched as our government laid siege to a city in our own country.
It was awful to see.
Ice is not about immigration, ice is not about the southern border, I was on the nearly
the northern border.
Ice is about normalizing paramilitary force on our streets.
I've been clear that you can't reform ICE, you can't retrain ICE, you have to abolish
ICE.
Now, that's not to say that we can't secure our border, that's not to even to say that
we can't actually enforce our immigration policy.
That is to say that we shouldn't do it at the edge of destroying our constitution itself.
ICE is a new agency, it is younger than I am.
We have done this in the past in a way that respects the basic rule of law.
And if we're serious about actually having a pathway in this country to a humane, thoughtful,
common sense immigration system.
We've got to invest in the court infrastructure that offers a pathway to citizenship for people
who built a life here, that lived here peaceably and contributed to our society.
I think that's the responsibility we need to go to while keeping our southern border
safe and secure.
What would we do about ICE in 60 seconds?
Well, before I jump to the bipartisan border security bill that I do support, it must be
said very clearly that Donald Trump's ICE is completely out of control and it is an
abuse of power.
So what do you think?
agents from top to bottom.
What do you think of committed crimes have to be held accountable?
And I've got the legislation to do it.
I called on Christie Nome to go.
She was removed, but no reforms took place.
They took 70 billion dollars of black money into an ice slush fund.
This has been a failure.
A temple in my district was blown up.
It wasn't ice that stood up.
it was state and local law enforcement.
That money needs to be redirected
to those law enforcement agencies
that are responsible for our safety and security.
Donald Trump has abused his power,
he has failed the American people, and we need change.
30 seconds, please.
Look, I appreciate the change of tone on ICE.
I mean, my colleague voted to thank ICE
and interest their budget,
and also took money from people who run ICE contracts.
Boom!
That to me seems very different
hearing now. I've been deeply clear. I don't take money from corporations. I don't take money from
ICE contractors, which is why I can say with a clear voice we need to abolish ICE. I think we
need clarity about where folks' money comes from and what trades they make on the policy on the
back end to Bob and weave on these issues when these are issues of life and death.
Thirty seconds to read this. Well, it's really unfortunate yet again to see
my opponent pursuing Republican tactics.
There was a bill on the House floor to condemn an anti-Semitic terrorist attack
that in Boulder, Colorado, that killed an individual
and injured a Holocaust survivor. Instead of bringing this together,
Republicans put in a cynical point about thanking ICE.
I'm always going to stand up to violence and I just wish my opponent wouldn't
pursue the cynical approaches of Republicans when we do need to be united.
ambers back with us with yet another viewer question. Let's do this question and then
we're going to come back to some of this in just a moment. Let's do the question.
Notice how she didn't respond to the funding ice thing.
The average Michigan family or being funded by ice.
Who was an early childhood educator wants to know what would your plan be to make child care
more affordable for families as a youth senator?
Fuck ass centrist question.
I have long champion of affordable child care here in Michigan and across this country.
And in fact, I was on the phone with the daycare centers and the families when COVID hit fighting
to secure dollars to make sure that daycare centers and the people who work in them stay open and
employed. Look, the costs continue to go up. The way in which we can lower daycare costs
are through the expansion of CDBG funding and grants that match what our great governor here
in Michigan did. I actually went to a daycare center with her in Troy, Michigan to celebrate
some of the programs that she put into place. And the other deal that we need is we need
paid family leave. I'm a champion for paid family leave. We need to secure the ability
for new mothers and fathers to have that precious time with their newborns. That's another critical
step. I've got the record. 60 seconds. I'm a father, two daughters, and the child care
for our youngest who's three years old is one of the most expensive items on our entire
budget. It is insane how much people have to pay. And for a lot of folks, this has become
a gender justice issue. It's forcing people out of the workforce, predominantly women,
and it's holding them behind from lucrative opportunities that they can use to advance
their family in the first place. I think we need to make child care free 100% free. Now,
How do we pay for that?
We pay for that by taxing billionaires their wealth.
We could render $4.6 trillion if we were willing to, let's say, an 8% tax on billionaire
wealth.
This is not that difficult, but it's a function of our values.
Do we care enough to make sure that women have access to the workplace, that children
have a safe, healthy place to go, or would we rather be the kind of economy that allows
billionaires to make a second billion, a third billion, a trillion, maybe like Elon Musk?
That is the question we need to answer.
Ultimately so long as we allow billionaires and corporations to buy politicians, we're
going to get the wrong answer.
Thirty seconds.
This Senate seat is considered a toss-up for November, a 50-50 chance that it will go Democrat
or Republican.
The one thing that I do is I flipped a congressional seat that was long held by a Republican, blue
in 2018, and I held it when Donald Trump was on the ballot, living my values, living
the values to make change and improve people's lives.
Mike Rogers, he's not gonna do a thing
to impact child care and make it more affordable
for families.
30 seconds.
Look, if you want somebody who's electable,
the last three polls in a row show
that I'm the most electable Democrat in November.
Why?
Because you gotta actually fight for something.
It's not enough to offer people two options
that kind of look the same on the issues
that matter the most.
If you're taking money from corporations,
the same corporations, Democrat or Republican,
how different are things really going to be?
i'm offering an opportunity to actually invest in what we want to fight for
for health care that is guaranteed for an economy that works for working people
for finally getting corporate money out of our politics
well with all due respect to a bill i think he looks a lot like my more like
mike rogers than i do
all right so we have
apparently scratch the show you've done you've done something unbearable
you've called up to white
and then the people in the control room are about to pull their hair out
i want to give you thirty seconds i want to give you thirty seconds to pursue
whatever this is that's going on here obviously you've got a question about
uh... some of the money in her campaign you've got a question about some of the
money in his pocket thirty seconds well look
my opponent wants to make this race about lies and
attack on my integrity
my opponent wants to make this race about the millions of dollars in corporate
ad spend on getting ishigan on the team working on president obama's auto
rescue. I have a proven track record of that I am proud of of fighting for this
state standing up to special interests and I have 15 labor unions standing
alongside me in this fight and some other proven individuals as well so can
we stop the lies and can we get the transparency out that my opponents long
talked about? I'd love to stop the lies that are being told on TV by
organizations like the Center for Democratic Priorities which by the way
didn't exist until it started to run ads for my opponent like the United
Democratic Progressives which by the way is a front for a like center forward
which bought airline tickets for my opponent for her mother and herself to
go to Portugal I don't know they talked about I don't know what they did so if
we want to talk about lies I think it's really important for us to understand
who's paying for them and what was said on the back end to allow them to be told
because $40 million just doesn't come for free.
So is the GOP.
I'm glad we got that all cleared up.
So we're back to these questions.
We're gonna talk about data centers for a minute.
I'm gonna give you a permission.
You're gonna agree with it.
I'm just gonna agree with it, but here's my premise.
Data centers are gonna be built somewhere
no matter what happens in Michigan.
So the question is,
are we better off to have some of those centers here
or should they be actively opposed as they have been
by many citizens in meeting after meeting across the state
And it's first to you, sir, 60 seconds.
Look, right now, people are scared to death
that there's going to be this gigantic data center put
in their backyard so people like Mike Rogers
can make gender-affirming videos about how buff they really
are.
I think we have to be serious about the fact
that these pose real dangers.
And the people who are pushing them
are the richest, most powerful corporate CEOs
in the history of our economy.
And so we've put forward a terms of engagement.
We want to make sure that if you want to put a data center
anywhere that it's going to meet the following terms.
union labor, no raising our utility rates, increasing our utility reliability, not touching
our water.
And then there has to be a community benefits agreement that's negotiating good faith with
all the money put up in escrow.
And this has to be fully enforceable, including shutting down the data center.
That has to be passed at the federal level.
Now here's the thing, big AI has huge super PACs, huge super PACs that guess who they're
funding.
Not me, the other person.
I won't forget your planner depending.
And so the question for us is, are we willing to actually...
Your American first leftist third is worth not sure what second may be rich.
I lost respect for you, you're a dance monkey, hell yeah.
Yeah, well look, the citizens need to be heard on innovation and data centers.
And it is up to federal lawmakers to secure the tax code so that these gajillionaire enterprises
are paying their fair share.
It is unacceptable that rates would go up as a result.
I want to force these data centers to pay the utility bills and to pay water bills for
folks.
And look, I also want to secure Michigan being on the forefront of innovation and manufacturing.
I visited hundreds, uniquely hundreds of manufacturing shop floors.
They are using this technology.
We want the jobs.
We just can't afford to force the workers to pay for it.
And look, yet again, my opponent takes jabs, except for he won't denounce the GOP when
they are funding his operation and his candidacy, and now bragging about the false polls that
they're putting out that he's going to be the best one to beat Mike Rogers.
That's me.
30 seconds.
I'm sure everybody out there thinks that Republicans really want me to win this race.
Sure.
The real question is, how much money has the AI industry spent in this race?
And why are they spending it?
Who's vote are they buying and what does that mean for you if you want a future way where AI is fully unregulated
Where we lose what 50% of our jobs where a data center sits in your backyard you have a choice
If you want someone who's gonna stand up for the people against the corporations
You also have a choice
Notice none of the answers actually speak to any of the points I'm making about the money that is being spent in these races to corrupt
Our politics because I have receipts and the people who are watching this
We have to evaluate who is running for US Senate, the chief lawmaking role in this country
that has the record, that is not a show horse, that is not I'm not someone trying to go viral
and shout into a bullhorn about problems.
I am delivering.
That is not something my opponent can say.
He's great at attacking and he's great at covering up that his father-in-law is running
his super PAC that's spending millions of dollars for him.
All right.
We're going to move on to a question
that you have both addressed because these go together.
And this one will go first to you, Congresswoman.
We hear a lot about AI, artificial intelligence,
hear about it every day.
I doubt that most of us have a really good grasp
of exactly what it is, what role
is going to play in our lives going forward,
what role the government has in putting guardrails
on technology that few fully understand,
that could be a positive game changer
that is evolving all of the time
and is displacing workers already.
We know that that's happening.
So should the government jump in the business
of regulating AI, 60 seconds?
Yeah, and look, Abdul is lying.
Again, he has a super PAC that is run
by his father-in-law that has spent millions of dollars
on his behalf and the GOP is also spending money.
It's good to know that his father-in-law
is involved with AI.
Here is the deal.
I passed my first AI bill.
I don't even know what this line of attack is.
All right, in my first term in Congress,
I have supported resources to invest and protect
in the privacy for consumers
and to stand up for the little guy,
particularly small businesses
who need equitable investment, black-owned businesses,
like ones I visit on the regular,
who oftentimes are getting this short
of the stick and they certainly are from Donald Trump. I want to make sure that resources are
coming into our communities and that jobs are protected and maintained. We can do this here
in Michigan. We just need the right leadership and I believe that is me. Do we need to regulate AI?
60 seconds. Absolutely. First, I just want to be clear. The National Nurses United is not my
father-in-law. Working Families Party is not my father-in-law. The UAW is not my father-in-law.
But I also want to speak to the fact that we do need to regulate AI and so long as we are taking money
The party is taking money from the AI industry. It's not likely to happen. I propose the plan putting AI under democracy
What does that mean? That means that I want to make sure that legacy internet companies no longer own the means of creating AI
the AI corporations are spun off as public interest corporations and that at least 50% of their boards are
are publicly appointed, meaning through the democratic process,
I also want real, clear guardrails on what AI can and can't do.
I want an agency in the government like an FDA for AIs.
And I want to make sure that we pass our terms of agreement.
I can say all this because I'm not bought off by the AI companies.
You talked about that 2020 regulation, that was a giveaway to the AI industry.
So yes, if you want someone who's really effective at giving giveaways to the AI industry,
you have your option in this race.
Thirty seconds.
I'm pleased that my opponent read my deep fake bill to better detect the use of AI,
particularly with our children. It was written alongside the National Institute of Standards
and Technology, and I am proud that that passed. His response should be, there are AI data centers
everywhere, and we have no control over it. People are terrified. He can poll while the GOP is
supporting his campaign. And look, I worked really hard to make sure that Kamala Harris was going to
to get elected and that Donald Trump would be stopped.
And my opponent did nothing.
I don't know what Kamala Harris has to do with AI,
but I want to speak to the fact that right now
we have a choice, $40 million.
We're being outspent 30 to one in this race, 30 to one.
That money is coming in from APAC.
Their goal is to make sure that our money is sent abroad
to kill other people rather than kept here to invest here.
Now, the question you might be asking
what does it have to do with a question about AI? Government will continue to work for the
people who buy off government so long as we allow people to buy off government. It is
that simple. And you're seeing a case in point of that.
This next question is one that I take very seriously. I suspect many of the viewers do
as well. The national debt is more than $39 trillion. $39 trillion. Now the interest on
that that's it twice my go and dollars a year CBO says by 2036 it'll be about
$2 billion a year that'll be about 25% of every dollar that comes into the
national treasury what do we do to begin to reduce this burden that will be passed
along to your children and their children and likely their children would
you raise tackage the taxes would you vow to cut spending what would you do
60 seconds. Look, as everyday
Michiganders know that a budget
sheet is about money in and money
out. And for a long time, folks on
the conservative side want to tell
us that it's all about money out.
We're spending too much. But then
they do two things. They cut taxes
for the richest people in society.
Yeah. And then they cut things like
health care. And guess what happens?
They fight wars that we don't need
to fight. So money out goes up. Money
in goes down and we run up the
national debt. And then Democrats
show up and we're trying to be effective stewards of the national debt.
So here's what we need to do.
We need to run the play in reverse.
How about we end stupid wars we shouldn't be fighting at the behest of foreign governments?
How about we start taxing billionaires their wealth so that we can return trillions of
dollars to the economy?
And how about we invest our money in the things that people actually need, like good education,
childcare, good hospitals and healthcare?
Those are the opportunities we have in front of us so long as we don't allow the same corporations
billionaires to buy our politicians so that they keep doing these ridiculous things.
Our national debt keeps me up for Michiganders and it is very serious in part because it is
raising the future of our children and the way in which we get out of our deficit mesh is by
taxing the growing billionaire class and forcing them to pay their fair share. We are growing our
economy except for it's just with the very very few who aren't paying their
fair share if you listen to Donald Trump who my opponent just admitted he
didn't do anything to help stop him from getting elected he wants to do
everything for the billionaire class Donald Trump did tax cuts for them while
cutting our food assistance and our health care benefits it's not acceptable
and it's not working we can't look at the middle class here in Michigan and
and force them to keep paying.
People can't pay their bills right now.
People are under water.
I've had two working grounds in the last day.
She's got nothing.
So I think this is gonna be reduced
to Abdullah's Muslim, Muslim, Muslim, Muslim, Muslim,
by the end of the fucking, by the time we get to August,
it's just gonna be Abdullah has the darkest beard.
Because his name is Abdul Rahman Muhammad.
Critical issues.
And it's been wrong because of the role
special interests in our politics. The same exact special interests who get
their way when it comes to our tax system, the same exact special interests
that have us fighting stupid wars, we shouldn't be fighting the same special
interests who are funding my opponent. 30 seconds for you. Well, look,
leadership is going to get us out of our debt and deficit mash. And as someone
who has my finger on the pulse of the needs of the middle class here in
Michigan, you and your family and has I have the receipts and the track record
of standing up for you when it matters, when 200,000 Michigan jobs were on the line, when
General Motors and Chrysler were going to go bankrupt, and I worked on that initiative
to save your jobs and those jobs.
Look, we can use tax dollars effectively without letting our country go bankrupt.
Here's another question that Amber has for us, and this one kind of goes along with what
we're talking about.
Here's Amber.
Social security is a top issue for many Michiganders.
This next question is from Mark Luxford.
As a senior, social security is a very important issue to me.
What is your opinion of the proposal to guarantee adequate funding for this critically important
program by raising or better yet eliminating the income cap for the fund's social security?
What a game.
I feel like I'm listening to Sam Sutter.
Well, I fully endorse that proposal of eliminating the FICA cap and making sure that folks are
paying their fair share.
What is going on with Social Security right now?
Is it the way she's like breathing into the mind?
Why does it sound like that?
Our Social Security trust fund and force the middle class to pay for the crisis that we
are going to be in.
We can fix this.
I have also stood up to Donald Trump today and said we hire the social security workers
that you have fired because my constituents, they're on the phone trying to get access
to their disability benefit, the retirement benefit and no one's picking up.
And again, these are programs that folks have paid into.
I believe in it.
Mike Rogers, Donald Trump, they're going to sell us down the Potomac River.
I've talked to so many seniors who are struggling.
They're struggling because they paid their home off 30 years ago, but the property tax
is getting too high.
Their premium on their Medicare is unaffordable and their Social Security just doesn't cut
it.
They're worried they might lose that Social Security.
Say yes.
Absolutely.
We have to lift the cap.
It would make Social Security sustainable.
But we've got to go further.
I think we need to be eliminating the premiums, the copays, and the deductibles on Medicare
and we need to make Medicare fully sustainable by extending it to everybody.
for all would do exactly that. On top of that, I think we need to be freezing property tax
for seniors. If you paid off your home at some point, we can't expect you to keep up
with property taxes that are going up. Now, how do we pay for that? Well, again, if we
tax billionaires their wealth, if we were to invest in the Department of Education,
he's going to fucking, he's going to win every old person's vote. There are a lot of opportunities
for us to lift the burden off his seniors. We've done their job. They've worked extra
hard. They deserve a dignified retirement and we've got to be thinking about how to
offer than that. Congress, 30 seconds. They are bankrupting the Social Security
Trust Fund. It is unconscionable and wrong. And Michigan is going to have a
choice about who it sends to the United States Senate to do something who's got
the vision long term for a six-year term to tackle a tough issue. And that is
what I've done over and over again. I have a plan for Social Security, a plan
to be able to work across the aisle if need be, and most importantly stand up
up to Donald Trump and Elon Musk in this moment.
30 seconds.
Look, I'm here to serve you.
I'm somebody who worked in the bowels of city
and county government.
Those are the kind of jobs
where you can't dodge tough issues.
You got to show up Monday through Friday
and Saturday and Sunday too.
You've got to make sure people get their services
that they need and deserve.
And I know in places like DC,
they look down on people who work in local government.
But I also think that we need that viewpoint
to give you a center right now.
You also need the viewpoint of a doctor.
Somebody who understands what it's like
to make sure that you look people in the eye
and deliver it for them.
And I think we haven't had that viewpoint, frankly,
and a Democrat since 1969, I ain't talked about.
This is going to be our final question.
We're going to limit this answer to 45 seconds.
There will be a rebuttal, but 45 seconds on the main question.
The current economic tensions with China
have created concerns that range from cheap electric vehicles
being flooded into some international markets
to military concerns over the buildup of China's armed
forces and the dependents' foreign military on Chinese goods
and services.
should we be working to lessen our dependence on china
and should we
how should we deal
with the major competitor as well
was a tough one
forty five seconds
my dad moved to this country to learn to make cars and he believed in this place
he immigrated from egypt the place where that was not possible
and he chose to come here because this was a place
where innovation
ingenuity
those were unleashed we had the mighty ua w who was
empowered to make the cars that my dad would design
the challenge of course is that
corporatism has gotten in the way
i remember when my dad came home in nineteen ninety six and said
a company that's more interested in finance than it is in engineering is
not going to be a car company very long fast forward two thousand eight there we
were
i think we need to make sure our corporations think long-term i think we
need to make sure that we are using trade as an effective way to empower and
protect our manufacturing capacity and then i think we need to unleash
ingenuity by investing in research property tax is a good policy no it's
not place in Donald trump has sold out it's it's a lot of you
Well, to every engineer watching tonight,
I know how a CNC machine works and a robotic welder.
I am Michigan's manufacturing geek,
and nothing is holding me more than standing up
for our manufacturing sector and our jobs,
and that means taking on China.
Look, I've got the bill,
one I also did with Senator Slokin, no Chinese cars act.
We have to stop these guys from coming in
to our market, lowering costs up the wazoo
that only feeds their Communist Party,
that's not correct.
That's not a long ago in Michigan.
We can build a foreign car service in Michigan.
And Michigan, you're gonna say,
I will burn a BYD if I see one in my neighborhood.
You know what I mean?
There's a reason that the UAW is endorsing me in this race.
And they endorse me in this race
because I understand that the biggest challenge
we have right now,
the thing that is throttling our ingenuity,
is the fact that our corporations
are a lot more interested in the quarterly bottom line than they are in the long term
sustainability of manufacturing. I think we need to think differently. That means standing
up to Wall Street, not taking their money to run your campaigns. And at the end of
the day, the reason I believe in money out of politics, then money in your pocket and
Medicare for all is because as long as we're taking money from those corporations, we are
not going to regulate them. Yeah, I mean it's priority. I have taken on Vladimir Putin
when he stole my constituent, Paul Whelan, and held him in a Russian prison for five
half years. I am taking on China now and standing up for our jobs and not letting them flood
our markets through the North or the South. This is about our way of life in Michigan.
Look how she came alive when it comes to American posturing against foreign adversaries and
defend it and protect it from the lawmaking table.
Like, she's even more electric here than when she talks about CNC machines.
That's the establishment Democrat difference.
We just celebrated.
I will send a nuke to the three gorgeous dam without the opportunity to be born here.
I saw that firsthand in summers in Egypt.
I know what America can do for somebody.
I also knew that 15 miles away there were kids who never got that same opportunity.
We have to build an America that can be what it was for me for all of her kids.
kids. And that means we've got to take on the ways that corporate greed have gotten in
the way. We need to stand with working people, stand with unions. We need to take on oligopolies
and billionaires. We need to guarantee healthcare through Medicare for all across my time touring
the state.
Yeah, but how will you be able to be a beauty in a living area?
In China.
People say the same things. It just shouldn't be this hard. Shouldn't be this hard to forge
your grocery shouldn't be this hard to pay your rent shouldn't be this hard to
see a doctor in the richest power fiction the owner and that means we've got
to build a movement of people to get money out of politics put money in your
pocket and pass Medicare for all I've got in building that movement it's the
main versus the money oh I love her so much I am fed up and fired up up with
Michiganders getting screwed over policies that are coming down the
table Trump administration that do not understand the first thing about us and
that are raising our costs and impacting our way of life and coming for our jobs.
I am fired up, though, to be your next U.S. senator. I am fired up to lead for us on
day one and when it matters and to be in this fight alongside you and your families. All
83 counties in this incredible state of ours, the largest state geographically east of the
Mississippi deserves its workhorse. And that is me. That is why I am on this
campaign trail listening to you, hearing you, and leading in that order. That is my
ethos. That is why I am running. Let's go beat Mike Rogers, send him back to
Florida a second time, and make sure that Michigan shines at the lawmaking
table. Candidates, thank you both for being here. I know it takes a lot of time
an effort to do it. I know you know how much I appreciate it. I just want to make sure I say it
publicly to both of you. I love this guy. I love this guy. All my colleagues here at Wood TV.
This guy's my favorite moderator. What a go. Great job. And helping us from the get-go to all
of our partners around the state that are carrying this debate tonight. Yeah, I saw a house on
Avenue Planker broadcast carrying the debate. And helping us. A reminder to join us back here.
Dude, this was one of the best. This was one of the best moderators I've ever, like, they were so
issue specific nothing stupid you know what i mean wood tv pretty fucking awesome
um yeah obdul stomped wait it's not done after this candidates go to the spin room for interviews
the spin room. Oh, nice. I want to ask Abdull about Leotimer Pute.
Oh, that was so sick. I'll be honest. Like I said, she's very, she has a quality about
her that I really appreciate. If she wasn't such a corporate stooge, if she wasn't, you
know, uh, madam Israel comes to me in my dreams. I would, I would, uh, uh, grow a liking to
her. It's just going to the spin room.
Shut the hell up. It's so damn annoying. Okay, I did. Stop being able to. She's Midwestern.
Why she's annoying as fuck I don't get what you see in her. I don't she's like a character
But if you didn't know anything about her if you didn't know who backs her if you didn't know anything about her you probably find her to be like
Like a comic book here. Is she's Bobby Hill?
She's basically female Bobby Hill what the fuck do you mean?
All right, let's see what they say in the spin room state, but the nation. Let's begin with our
friend over here, Dr. Abdul. I'll say, Ed, welcome to West Michigan tonight.
I'm honored to be here. Thank you. This was the second debate that you've enjoyed this
campaign season. Talk about your closing argument here in the last four weeks.
Yeah, look, we have an opportunity to build a movement of the people by the people for the people's government was supposed to be
To get money out of politics put money back in pockets and pass Medicare for all
I'm proud to have earned the endorsements of everybody from Bernie Sanders to the UAW to the National University of United to the American Federation of Teachers
Working people coming together in a movement. Now look, we're being outspent 30 to 1. You've probably seen the attack ads
That is unbecoming of our politics. It's a cynical way of doing politics
I'm not asking APAC to fund my campaign so that I'd be a reliable vote to send your tax dollars somewhere else when they need to be used here.
I'm not asking corporations to give me their money so that I can turn around and do them a favor.
I'm asking everyday Michiganders to give me their vote, their voice, so that I can show up and work for them and fight for them
to finally get this cynical corporate money out of our politics so we can get along to standing with unions,
taxing billionaires, their wealth, rebuilding our schools and our infrastructure,
and guaranteeing healthcare through Medicare for all.
You've heard the argument certainly that you're too far left for a state like Michigan.
Why are you the stronger general election candidate? Not just the most progressive one?
Well, I'm not the only one who says that poll after poll has demonstrated that.
No
And that's because I show up and fight for something. It's not enough to just fight against the Donald Trump. You've got to be fighting fool
What the fuck? No
What TV what TV what gives?
Israel pulled the plug Israel was like nah, he's cooking too hard. He's cooking too damn hard
Even need to commit to running through a Sephora I have a season's terrible make okay. I
This is my female moderator UB. I am not saying that
I think her makeup is beautiful although as as a male feminist I do not see beauty
I don't see I don't see any women at all. There's only one gender in my book
So, you know, I should not have read that I disavowed that comment. I
Think her face her beat was excellent
Okay, her beat was excellent
Uh, it was, um, it was great.
Beautiful and natural. I did she even have makeup on? I couldn't tell.
Okay, Haley's facing the cliff. She's tweaking.
Not one of those ads was brought to you by the Congresswoman's campaign.
All of them brought to you by corporate PACs and APAC,
trying to buy a politician who's going to do their bidding instead of yours.
That's been the story of our politics for far too long. The question is not...
is not. No, she's just burping in her mouth. I've been there. I know exactly what that is.
Yeah, she was just trying to let a little burp out without having the microphone
hearing the burp.
The only thing she beat was that goddamn podium. Yeah, she definitely did brutalize the fuck out
out of that podium. What are these ads man? Since when do you do that? That's true. I
do actually just let a rip when I have a little burpee coming.
What is this? What gives? What gives? That was an incredible performance and a shellacking
straight up. Yeah, it's stuff like this that I love about her. I don't know why. I just
I find it wholesome another clinic by Abdul is live again up there it is and
it's top of mind for a lot of people in Washington Congress woman Stevens thanks
for your time right now big what's the biggest policy difference between you
you. And, uh, have to well say, uh, that the Democratic primary vote used to decide to choose
you. Well, look, we're making a decision about who we want to send to the United States
Senate to fight for us and to deliver for us. And my experience, not policy, because
on the policy front, Abdul clears when your jobs were on the line during the great recession,
standing up for Michiganders, when their jobs were on the line yet again, COVID and the
COVID, she's on the take. All the most annoying centers on the timeline are straight up based
boosting or at least trying to base boost Haley Stevens is not going to happen.
Okay. I saw, I mean, there is, there's got to be some coordination. Given that Haley
Stevens brought up his attack, uh, brought this attack up twice on the debate stage,
even though she's got 34 million from APAC and other packs, I am beginning to suspect
this movement, this moment was coordinated.
Like I think Dana Bash came out of the gates and like specifically brought up
Haley Stevens, Haley didn't mention you.
Yes, because she, why would she do that?
Why would she fucking do that, man?
We saw what happened when Mallory McWarrow brought it up.
even if, even if, and I don't believe that this would be the case, like I don't think
my, I don't think I'm like particularly popular or famous in Michigan.
But virtually every candidate that has brought it up has lost their race because they look
so ridiculous.
Oh boy, if it was a grand conspiracy, he wouldn't say she was trafficking with anti-Semites.
I'm not surprised you see Jewish conspiracies everywhere.
I don't think Benjamin Netanyahu is oblivious to how unpopular Israel is.
Yeah. Hey Siri, pull up the fakest thing of all time. Here in Netanyahu, hopefully we'll
lose the job here at tax. Hey, Lee, for Michigan, for state of the obvious fact that I was making
Jews in America and the world feel less safe. We're going to one bad man theory until near
has 260 Democrats in Congress who strongly demand naftali Bennett carry out apartheid
and genocide instead. If you're interested in why fanatical sport of Israel has been
backed by APAC with 30 million is calling out Netanyahu is because it's APAC approved
K-fabe for half-paying attention liberals, learn about the rise of the one bad man theory here.
See also, cutting off aid to Israel is another increasingly popular fake dissent on Israel.
Can you elaborate on what it means that it was coordinated?
Dana Bash specifically said that Jewish lawmakers were saying that what is happening in Israel
makes American Jews unsafe and then brought up Haley Stevens is not Jewish.
Why the fuck would Haley Stevens get brought up?
Is she at the forefront of criticisms of Benjamin Netanyahu or does she have a fucking debate
coming up later in the evening?
I'm sorry, guys.
That's insane.
Why the fuck would Haley Stevens be brought up as a prominent critic of Benjamin Netanyahu?
Are you guys insane?
Really?
Out of all the politicians that have been getting called a fucking anti-semite up and down the timeline
Dana Bash chose Haley Stevens pulled her name out of a hat. What do you want crack?
What gives
Did Hayley run away or did she have reason?
This is a state that has seen as purple as it gets, maybe as purple as my tie.
And so what's important is where do the independent voters show up for this?
Where do the traditional Democrats fall in line as they're going to vote for this and
all of the ballots that are already out absentee ballots?
All the Democratic House say Hayley destroyed Al-Sayed.
clerk said that they sent out over 100,000 and that 10,000 of the ballots had already
come in. So that's why there's a lot of attention on this race and a lot of money being spent.
Let's sneak on over. Let's go back to Abdul Al-Sayed and get some of his thoughts here
as the media is asking him some questions. We're just going to listen in real quick.
Yeah, they got him surrounded. So if you believe like me that we need to get corporations
out of our politics to actually start answering those questions honestly for the people, I
I hope you'll support us.
And as for Medicare for All,
that's something that some people in Congress
have tried to pass before.
How are you going to actually get that pass?
When is your tall ass home back to Michigan soon, brother?
Before the primary, I'll be there though.
And big insurance and big hospitals in our politics.
And number three,
we're going to actually have that conversation with folks.
Look, I've been to 110 different cities now.
I don't do the thing where I do a made for TV little stop.
I actually do a whole town hall, right?
And we spend an hour and a half taking questions.
So I've done the work of listening to people.
And there is not a room that I walk into
Somebody doesn't tell me, you know, Doc, I voted for Donald Trump three times and I'm voting for you
And I asked him why I said, well, because I really think you want me to have health care
I really want you to have health care
He loves the story
So I think we can win on our values if we're willing to actually have that conversation
with the broader public
And I think we should try because $6,000 in deductible, $225 billion in medical debt,
we could do so much better
Release your personal finances, that was obviously a focus of Congresswoman Stevens
Would you vow to release those before the August 4th primary?
I'm happy to do that
Here's the issue, when you can't win a policy debate,
when your ads are being paid for by APAC and corporate PACs,
folks who are flying you and your mom out to Portugal,
then you look for a distraction.
At the end of the day, I took the same extension
that she's taken every single year
that she's been in Congress, that same exact extension.
I didn't hear her complaining about herself
taking that extension in the past.
So look, I'm happy to release them.
We will be releasing them soon.
But this is a distraction from the fact
that people have been seeing those ads.
Being outspent 30 to one, 30 to one.
A pack has dropped tens of millions in this race tens of millions to do what they want
a reliable vote to send your tax dollars abroad to drop bombs on other people rather than
to invest here at home.
Did you think that she was attacking you personally because you have a lead in the polls?
Look, I mean, I think what you're saying is a lot of level of desperation in that campaign.
You know, when you got $40 million spent and you can't seem to nudge the polls, it says
something about the quality of candidate and the quality of argument.
You know, you know, there's having with Kamala, you've been seeing the attack ads on TV.
Look, I got an eight year old daughter at home and she sees how I treat my wife.
She sees how I treat her.
She sees how I treat my mom and that they explain that to my kid.
That just wreaks a desperation to me and it's not in keeping with the kind of politics that we want.
And now when you're seeing that attack at a four million dollars a week,
it says a lot about the kind of desperation you're seeing from that campaign.
It's that did you watch Egypt soccer game today?
I did.
Look, I saw it.
Are you-
I got the time to step away there, talking about soccer.
Let's head on over to Representative Stevens now.
These guys are awesome.
Dude, what TV is awesome?
And so she's taking questions.
We're going to do the same thing and kind of stick her mic in and see what she's talking
about.
Well, I don't-
You gotta ask why he's got a basket.
He's got a baggy, he's-
What, he's making money?
And then we call that business.
He's got books, podcasts.
Wait, isn't that the guy that got called gay by Thomas Massey as the Fox News guy?
Portugal, can you explain that?
And who paid for that trip?
that trip yeah look this is very standard members of Congress I was doing
native meetings to learn about that's the gay guy from pause this is a very
standard way in which members engage in critical policy should it be you know I
I just stand up to Putin on that yeah the only the only way I could stand up
to putin is by taking a trip a paid trip with my mother to porter to
portugal the beautiful steed look i'm a transparent accessible law here with the
receipts of helping real people with real problems in the job that i am
running for right now and look i'm going to continue to be transparent and
accessible throughout this campaign and throughout my time in public service i
I have been doing the work for Michigan when it matters,
and I'm damn proud of it.
Congresswoman, do you think that you pervade
an effective message during this debate?
Do you think that you got your point across
to the voters in Michigan?
Well, I'm always happy when I'm talking about Michigan
and what Michiganders need
and what I'm hearing from Michigan
and why I wanna fight for that.
Now, I'm not looking for punditry ratings.
I'm just excited to be engaging in the deliberation
of our democracy on behalf of the people of Michigan
to earn their vote.
I'm looking forward to fighting Vladimir Piotin.
investments, we've got the super site and flint that needs somebody to move into it.
Well, that fell apart because of Trump's tariffs, you know, we're just hanging on here.
That's what people don't understand, you know, yeah, we've got tech and AI, but we've got
capital intensive industries.
Come walk the floor with me.
Come talk to some of these folks, you know, so if I get a chance to, you know, advocate
and shine a light on that, I think I'm winning.
And I think that people hear me, that I hear them, that I am fighting for them.
That's what we need in the Senate.
You've said that you are going to anybody.
Great exchanges here, both candidates again talking to the media.
I'm going to swim back out and I see Rick Alvin standing over here.
Maybe a good opportunity to talk to you, Rick.
We're hearing a lot of the same arguments here, counterpoints of what we heard through
the debate.
large in the big picture. This is kind of a fight about the future of the Democratic
Party in this state. I certainly think it is and I ask that question specifically for
the reason I think that there is much more writing on this race than just a US Senate
seat. By the way, a US Senate seat is a big deal. I'm not taking anything away from that.
But I do think it's about the direction of the party. On this side you have an established
candidate that's been endorsed by established Democrats. On the other side you've got the
more progressive candidate has been endorsed by more progressive Democrats.
Now, it's not to say either is right or wrong, but the question is in Michigan,
what wins? You've got to be able to get to that center third to win in a
general election, Republican Democrat. Doesn't matter. You said it yourself.
We're a purple state. So you've got to be able to.
I'm stimming so hard. I have too many. I've downloaded way too many verbal
stems of Hailey Stevens. We know that they have problems.
But what's the answer?
Is it as we heard?
What?
Yeah, it's taxed or is it something else?
So, I mean, the real question is who can appeal to that middle third and then?
Are you OK?
No, I'm like Vladimir Putin.
About 2028 and people who are running for president that need to come to Michigan.
If you're a Democrat, you've got to win Michigan.
That's just the way it is.
So if you're going to come to Michigan, who are you going to follow?
Are you going to be going with the more traditional campaign
or more progressive campaign. And I think this election will give some indication to
those presidential aspirants to know what they can expect when they come to mission.
I'm going to put you in the spot a little bit, Rick. Who do you think Mike Rogers wants
to run against? You know, I think, first of all, be careful what you wish for. Oh, bro,
he's in the tank for Abdul. Straight up. And we've seen, I think people in the past be
overconfident because yes Mike Rogers wants to run against Abdul because they're going to hit the
Muslim Muslim Muslim Muslim Muslim Alex Jones style right and they think that's going to be successful
it's not he's not on the ticket he's still very much part of the conversation but he's not on the
actual ballot so I don't know what that means but that's why he said be careful what you wish for
you might get it I really don't know if it makes a great deal of difference from this standpoint
Mike Rogers just like whichever one of these Democratic candidates is the nominee is going to
to have to go out and run their own race. They're going to have to convince people to vote, not
just vote against somebody else, but vote for them. And I think that's the challenge that
any one of the three people, the two that we saw tonight, their first attack, I was already
about you and him. Yeah, but that wasn't really, that wasn't that, that's one of those attack
ads that's like boosting his profile in the, in the democratic party primary. So like Haley Stevens
isn't wrong. We're just like, oh, our GOP is like spending, GOP spending, except the greatest
counter to that is a pack is the biggest g.o.p. donated a
Super pack in the country
So the g.o.p. spent a quite a deal of money on you because you win or my rogers wins
Israel wins regardless. They don't care
Sorry to cut off your man bill. He's really cool. I know
You had any conversations with Mallory since she dropped out and what is your approach to that and kind of where it's the guy
It's the Fox News guy. I think the one that
Right, isn't that the same Fox News guy?
I got an eight year old and three year old and I know she heard daughter know us the fight
That's really tough and I've been there before I ran
Really tough primary and I lost and so you know, I just I wanted her to know that I appreciated how she ran her race
I wanted her to know that I believe she's super talented
I trust Audrey. She says no
I wanted her to know that I was grateful to have shared the
campaign trail with her and I thought she made this this campaign is anti-wide
racism. Am I doing anti-wide racism? I'm sorry. I probably have met these journalists.
Oh, TVU back. Look at that.
Mallory was clear that she wanted to reject the power of corporate money.
Say sorry to these guys. Probably a local journalist. I apologize to the local journalist.
I will give you an interview and so I hope that folks who are inspired by her
are going to be as inspired by our movement because at the end of the day
If we allow Chuck Schumer or APAC to come in here and try and dictate to us what our policy should look like
I think we all lose. Did she say she might endorse a marriage? No, I I think she's still trying to figure out what happens next obviously
You know for us right now. We're a lot more focused on just running our race
Obviously we welcome her support, but you know, that's that's that's a decision for her to make in the long term
Okay, some of the comments there from Abdul. I'll say that I'm a
truck across the room. They're having so much fun with this. Congresswoman Stephens
in equal time. She's still taking questions. What was the GOP money? She's talking about
there saying that the GOP is doing ads attack ads against Abdul to position him as the candidate.
You're going to stop Trump. Yeah, Stephens. I just asked this to Abdul about the regulation
of AI. Now it seems to be a pretty bipartisan issue. Do you see that as something that can
unite Michiganders? And if so, how do you set yourself apart from your potential opponent?
on the Republican side.
Well, we want to beat China.
And how I set myself apart from both of my opponents is that I actually have results
on getting bipartisan AI legislation done.
And in terms of the way in which we look to regulate and the way in which we look to stand
up, we've got to make sure that the voices of people are at the table.
Look, this is about our kids.
So when we talk about what's going on with social media and very minimal regulation there,
when we talk about the mass wealth concentration that's going on, that's not appropriate and
right.
And we want to have the guardrails be through open, free market, democracy such as ours.
We don't want to be playing by China's rules.
So we've got to have leadership and we've got to have vision and we've got to have the
commitment to do the job at hand, which is me.
So to be fair, you're in favor of data science.
OK, I want to swing back over here now.
And I want to talk to News Nation correspondent,
where I lost him.
Oh, he's over here.
All right, a little chaotic here.
Chris.
Yes.
Brian Sterling.
Brian.
Chris Steyer-Walt is with News Nation.
You are also a political analyst.
You've watched a lot of these races.
Size this one up from the outside for us.
Well, look, the Democratic Party is at an inflection point.
And the reason so many national people are here
and the reason that there's no, I'm here because the Hill
Sunday airs on your station in so many places.
And I love you for that.
But so many national people are here
because this has ended up being the inflection point
four Democrats in this primary year. So basically, after the Bernie Sanders back in New York,
the Mamdani candidates did so well in New York, it was sort of a split decision because
you can point to a lot of places. You can look at Iowa, you can look at New Jersey elsewhere
and say, hey, the moderate, the mainstream Democratic Party is still able to get electable
candidates into position. And then in Colorado last week, very noteworthy, 30-year incumbent
Diana DeJette loses in her primary. This creates the concern for Democrats. I can tell you
Democrats in Washington are watching this race because if they cannot get the Haley
Stevens through, then they have a much more open question about can they control the Senate,
They actually win the Senate.
And also, are they having their own Tea Party moment?
I was around in 2010 watching Republicans
who reminded me a lot of Dr. Alsayed
as they were overtaking their party and succeeded.
They succeeded.
Donald Trump is president today
because of the insurgency that overtook
the Republican Party.
Is the same thing happening to Democrats?
What are the implications for the future?
That's all on the ballot in Michigan.
So that's why we're here.
Now, great insight. I ask Rick Albin this, I guess I'll put you on the spot as well.
Who do you think Mike Rogers wants to run against?
Oh, well, I'll say it, but Mike Rogers may be wrong, right? That's the fact.
Dude, that's the crazy thing.
Hillary Clinton preferred.
Normally, analysts in 2016 would say, oh, Bernie Sanders is far weaker.
Now they're saying, after all, say it, it's going to clean.
24 came close. There's no reason to think that he.
like they're literally set which is true by the way yes
the republicans might be thinking that
opto also it is easier to defeat the hailey stevens because they're also
fucking boomer brain poison the same way the dumbass democratic establishment
is
where they think all yeah this will be
this will be an easier race than the hailey stevens
one hundred percent hailey stevens would be easier
i i still think hailey stevens probably would also defeat my grasp on being
perfectly honest with you
But Abdul al-Sayed will destroy my Grodgers. Okay. That matchup, that matchup is, is
not even close. Okay. Because you have to remember, you have to remember, like Abdul is holding back
on Hayley Stevens. Cause one, she's also a Democrat. And two, he can't appear as like a vicious,
scary Muslim man attacking a white woman who is Michigan through and through. Okay?
He doesn't have to hold back on Mike Rogers at all. As a matter of fact,
he already has been cooking Mike Rogers up and down. Because there is definitely the optics
problem there. If you like, I mean, think about it this way. He literally said,
but Abdul is Muslim. That's his flawed. That's what you got out of what I just said.
like the public perception of him that they are quite clearly and deliberately
designing as a scary Muslim man who is misogynistic paid for by you know tens
of millions of dollars in APEC ads that's what they're trying to do
And not only are they trying to do that, they, they, they're, they did that after Abdul said,
they did that after Abdul said something, not even that significant, not even serious
against Hailey Stevens.
Like he was just like, oh, if she gets $30 million, like she has to explain where she's
getting that money. And then, you know, maybe she can string two sentences together or something
like that. And then they were like, that's the most sexist thing I've ever heard in my
entire life. That's the way that they treated it.
So, yeah, as a Michigander, I need a little say against Mike Rogers. We are a pretty insulated
state outside the city's former grand planner girlfriend describes alleged
violence which he denies Lindsay Feefield described her own alleged mistreatment by
planner for the first time on camera on CNN on Tuesday saying that he repeatedly
grabbed her at Times living bruise walls blocked her inside a bedroom Feefield
said that she was inspired by rat racket rassicots bravery come forward and
felt relieved that endorsers like Bernie Sanders urged Plattener to drop out of the race at
the same time she said she was disturbed that her own allegation about Plattener's behavior
was repulsed by the Nairan Times last month did in sparks similar condemnations.
Done any report reporting on Farrar shitting the bed in Clacton, UK?
No.
I
Imagine a Patrick but David had Haley Stevens his voice
Um that'd be goaded those are two of my goats those are two of my goats at the same time
time. Why is he dropped out yet? I think my name is Martha G. Oh, yeah, this was a beast
mode ass ad by the way. And you guys in this chat are going to be like, why did he do this?
Scott, I'm a Wayne County commissioner and a proud Democrat, and I'm darn proud to vote
for Abdul al-Saf percent. I know Abdul and Abdul knows what's at stake. He was the first
Muslim American leader to endorse Kamala Harris for president, as Wayne County health director
abdued that glasses for kids and help families out of medical debt.
Now go get them, all right.
Great ad.
Okay.
Great ad.
Yeah, for Metro Detroit.
Great ad.
All the boomer, all the boomers under Abdul's Facebook ads are always like this in the tank
for him and even Facebook posts about anyone endorsing Haley Stevens is fully mostly comments
that are pro-Abdull and annoyed that they endorse Stevens.
It's wild to see because Facebook is still a boomer and conservative fill for me.
Yes, that's the difference of running one, a good campaign and two, actually running
a campaign.
Abdul has been traveling up and down the state doing town halls.
Like I know he's been doing this for a year.
Like remember the first time Abdul appeared on this broadcast, that was more than a year
ago.
That's not why do you pronounce Muslim like a Republican would. That's not how you say it. Oh, shut up. I don't I get to say however way I want to say it. Okay.
Case against the manicuse of killing Charlie Kirk and a critical legal step.
Mr. Mon. Mr. Mon. Mr. Mon. Mr. Mon. Is that good? Mr. Mon. That's how I say it in Turkish.
I'm going to, I'll dual said Detroit campaign officer the debate watch parties happening with supporters
They didn't bring a fund for her. So I'm going to talk to voters instead of live tuning about the debate academic advisor
Brandon Tottenham supporting Al Duel because he supports Medicaid for all
Getting corporate money out of politics. He says live reaction. I'll say calling on students from taking money from DTV
We got it
I'm ready to go for us
30 seconds. All right, let's talk about how loud
people sleeping in dark rooms without electricity for the fourth three days. My opponent's taking $37,500 from BTD. Ask yourself what that means.
That was a bar, by the way. Like, for the California voters, it's like calling out your opponent getting money from PG&E.
Like, that's a huge deal, especially because of the mass power outages that have been happening right now.
now. That is for any local that was watching, that's a, that's a strike, a major strike.
Steven says, you have been spending the boost of the LSA criticizing for the super
exporting him. Steven says, as father-in-law runs, I'll say the national nurses united is not
my father-in-law working families party is not my father-in-law. The UAW is not my father-in-law.
That was a good deflection. Steven's is twice invoked. I'll say it's support of Kamala Harris.
I'll say it says he endorsed a campaign for Harris. He supported the uncommitted movement
in February, but immediately indoors Harris in July. Yeah. Also, Steven's trying to hit that,
like Kamala Harris line. Again, also a little bit of racialized agitation right there.
The meta amongst, and this is, I've talked to some locals, okay, some local leaders about this
in Michigan. There is a little bit of a meta between, like a little bit of friction between some of
of the voters in Michigan who have a little bit of animosity because of the way that CNN
and a lot of mainstream media covered like the Muslim vote and how much they were in
the tank for Trump.
They made it seem like these guys were like really invested in Donald Trump.
There was a couple of Muslim leaders as well.
So that has left some resentment, specifically in Metro Detroit, the Dearborn vote, META,
which is part of the reason why I said that other ad that we just watched is actually
really good for Abdul.
Abdul already has a decent chunk.
I mean, I think you might be leading on a black vote regardless.
But it's basically covering all bases and Haley Stevens harkening back to that and
pointing to that was a not so subtle nod for some of the aunts and aunties in Metro Detroit
except what's also interesting is, again, this is from my,
it's, yeah, he already had a decent floor in Detroit. He's a Wayne County guy.
But one of the things that I've seen from, you know, the people I've talked to, like local
activists that I have talked to, that what they say is really interesting, where they're like,
a lot of the older black voters, like across the board, black voters are very progressive.
It's really strange the way people talk about black voters in general and black people in general in the United States of America.
They are historically the most progressive voting bloc on virtually every issue, right?
So in this circumstance, while there is like a little bit of party loyalty, and a little bit of loyalty to Kamala Harris,
they still also are very pro-Palestine. So the the commentary that you see on the internet of like prominent
centrist, center-right, Israel first accounts, black Zionists in general, is not exactly
the attitude that a lot of black voters demonstrate towards the issue, where on the one hand there's
a little bit of resentment, but also on the other hand, they are not exactly fucking with
Israel either. It's not even a thing. So that's what's been so interesting, and I think that
That also speaks to Abdul basically winning most of the demographics he needs to win,
including the black voting block.
Anna Ellsberg, 33, says, LSAT is tapped into the interest of people here.
When you're a Salem says she's sports outside because she personally understands the need for universal child care
She says she had to put her career on home because she couldn't keep up with the cost of child care
If see if you can spot this Haley that Haley did tonight
What is this?
Sorry, I don't think Harris's a politician worth endorsing.
Don't get so combative about it.
Dude, you got a person who like on the debate stage tonight talked about not selling any weapons to Israel.
And you're here worried about how he needs to pick up votes to make sure that he doesn't like lose a
Significant demographic of voters in Detroit
Are you insane like focus on the issues, please
Your fave guy asked summer leave out you and got owned you disavow your friend Hassan piker for inciting riots outside
Delaney Hall last weekend. Oh, actually, I think that Delaney Hall is a disgrace.
Well, you just thought your friend, uh, Laura Loomer, who calls Black one and
ghetto black bitches, but she doesn't mean that.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, no. Oh, no. She doesn't mean that, dude.
Is this another, by the way, I love seeing Charles down, try to instigate a debate and
then just get fucking destroyed with the UNO reversal.
Oh my God, he folded so fast.
Oh my God, Summer Lee, God, what a queen.
And think, you like what you're seeing?
There are going to be even more candidates like Summer coming up next.
So just remember that, okay?
She doesn't mean that.
Yeah, Charles Downs is one of my favorite reoccurring characters.
He's like a make-a-wish kid wanted to work for Laura Loomer Unleashed.
How does one not even have-
And she's my friend.
We're talking about Hassan Piker.
No, I'm talking about Laura Loomer.
Can we talk about Hassan?
women ghetto black bitches and you agree with that do you just about that pretty much joking
she was just joking why did why did he post this bro he went back home tongue sticking out
put the Laura Loomer watermark on it and then hit upload on this video there
were so many moments you could have stopped this video from hitting the
timeline Charles he's like oh well this is gonna be a good one
please I want you to meet Charles Downs one day
Yeah, he even pinged me for it because he knows I watch his videos.
He knows I'm a fan.
Oh, Jesus, does Laura pay him, you think?
Yeah, with chew toys.
And dog food.
Oh, no.
she gives dog food for herself. That's actually a sensitive subject that Luma unleashed headquarters.
You shouldn't have brought up the dog food thing. That's actually like, because Charles been asking.
I just saw, he's been asking politicians about you for the past month now.
Yeah, this is like pretty much all he does.
He just goes to like all the progressive candidates and be like, do you just have Alisson
Piker's latest attack? He threw a Molotov cocktail at Delaney Hall. I mean, I know he
didn't do that, but wouldn't it be scary if he did? Would you disavow him if he did?
feels ableist. Actually, it's the exact opposite of ableism. This is an employment opportunity
that is the opposite of ableism. Okay. He told Ilhan, you are her best friend. It's
true we are best friends. Can everyone just now counter his questions with I think he
was just joking. Yeah, that doesn't work that way. Yeah, she was pretty much joking.
Are you calling him a DI for someone who let's just say is medically stupid?
Yes.
That's what I'm saying anyway, that's cool.
All right.
Let's get the prosecutors presenting a case against manic use to kill in Charlie Kirk,
Tyler Robinson, the
a judge, there is enough evidence to move forward with a lawyer colleague.
Wait, he took it down?
Shut the fuck up.
Did he?
No, he didn't take it down.
Why'd you say that?
Why'd you lie to me like that?
He's shameless, dude.
He's not taking that shit down.
Against Tyler Robinson.
He has not yet entered a plea.
Kirk, as you know, was shot and killed during a rally at Utah Valley University back in September.
Carter Evans was in court for the start of this five-day preliminary hearing.
Charlie Kirk's widow Erica arrived at the preliminary hearing flanked by security.
In court, she sat behind Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating her husband
at the Utah Valley University rally last September.
On Monday, prosecutors began presenting their case against Robinson to prove they have enough
evidence to move forward with a murder trial. Kirk's family looked uncomfortable at times
and left the courtroom during emotional moments as attorneys on both sides argued over admissibility
of graphic footage. The judge visibly winced while watching one of the videos.
Mr. Grenander, your witness.
First on the stand, former University Police Officer Christopher Bagley.
What did you see? What did you hear?
I heard an individual talking to Charlie and I happened to have a glass over the edge
of the railings about that time. And then I heard a shot.
Bagley said he believed this shot came from the roof.
So do we get to see the new video or what? Like apparently there's a new angle or a new
video? What's that about? They released a new footage of the shooter. Tyler Robinson's
defense team was hit with a huge blow after the judge ruled prosecutors complained never
before seeing footage of his alleged movements on the day Charlie Kirk was
killed. And what do you believe is Mr. Robinson? The shoes are the same and the
images that we have from where is the gun? Because it's not in his leg, right? Is it?
it's in his pants. He's walking weird, but like, can you even fit the gun in fucking
tight pants like that? From from my viewing and seeing Mr. Robinson
on the video, it's the same person.
Now what do we see?
It says Mr. Robinson coming up the stairs of the parking structure.
He couldn't hire a fucking American lawyer?
Wait, this will be the prosecutor, right?
Why does he sound British?
Again, he seems to be having issues walking.
like oh it's a witness wait why is the witness going through the fucking
footage bro just got done with split squads this is completely normal I
think dude is innocent
And again, we're able to track Mr. Robinson when he leaves this parking structure.
Yes, we were able to.
And again in the top left.
Bro, how about you track a dingo and a baby dude? What is this?
What's going on? They don't got no Americans to do this
The fuck is going on right now? I
Call foul I call foreign interference
There I said it
Yeah, he's in the left corner
fucking hell
left corner toiler rubenson
hmm
corner of the individual is now seen running across the roof top of the
load yeah if you say running across the roof top is like okay i just i don't
trust you sorry what the fuck is this
what the fuck is this bullshit
see building
can't it doesn't believe because of this
of the building
Crouching down and then crawling to the corner of the building
Okay, this is the right leg
Patsy lost track of which leg was limping was it right or left? Oh, I messed up
Wait, no, it's it's probably it's probably inverse the footage is probably it mirrored or something on one of the cameras
what the fuck yeah it flips because the the chatters do you know how cameras work
one of them very likely is is is mirrored top of the nearby building
Robinson turned himself in the day after the killing prosecutors say they have his
DNA on the rifle used in the shooting along with his messages allegedly
confessing to the murder. For CBS Mornings, I'm Carter Evans in Provo, Utah.
CBS News legal analyst Caroline Polici joins us now to break it all down.
Good morning. So tell us more about the disciplinary hearing and why it's so
unique. Yeah, this is not a trial. I mean, it is being the fence brought that
apparently was driving a car that was seen being driven by a ball due with
three other people in the car. Dubbed as a mini trial, but it's sort of a unique
feature of Utah law. What we're essentially seeing is like a grand jury
process where you get to that probable cause to move forward with a trial. So all the prosecutors
need to do here is show that there's enough probable cause to move on to an actual trial.
We all just get to see it, the benefit of seeing it because of Utah law. And so what I'm watching
for really is we're getting just the beginning of the glimpses of the defense's potential arguments
here. They're pushing back on the authentication of the evidence. They won a motion yesterday to keep
about this video compilation of the day of the shooting
because they said it was altered.
They said it gave the impression that it was one person.
So there's a clue there.
She questioned, Catherine Nestor, the lead defense attorney,
she questioned one of the law enforcement officers
about a gun holster that was left at the scene.
She questioned, you know, just the overall security.
Yeah.
Trying to point out.
The one juror on the Kirk trial
was going to convince the other jurors that Israel did it.
which I find interesting.
But there is a mountain of evidence
against Tyler Robinson.
I mean, he also turned himself in the next day.
We talked, Carter Evans talked about the DNA evidence
on the gun.
And of course, all those videos,
as you mentioned, that compilation,
I mean, it was recorded by many people
who were there live at that event.
So that creates a pretty hard foundation to go against, right?
Absolutely.
The evidence is overwhelming.
And I think what we will see,
remember this is five days,
that some of the most compelling evidence
does come from his roommate slash romantic partner Lance twigs. We supposedly are going
to hear a recorded audio of Lance twigs. I mean, the thing that doesn't make any sense
is disassembling the gun and then reassembling it by hand and also no exit wounds. Like it's
just not. What is this? Officer Chris Bagley says body cam battery die while he was on
the roof after Charlie Kirk was shot.
Any spent casings?
As a matter of fact, no, that's why when I, I saw the prone position where the,
where a person would be laying down a sniper, uh, being around guns and snipers
all the time, I was looking for a spent shell casing. I couldn't see one.
I was looking over the edge, looking all over the place,
making sure the gravel wasn't disturbed and I couldn't find a shell casing at
that moment.
And that would be the reason you would be looking for that was because some
types of guns, when they shoot,
I love I I mean Katie's awesome. I love Mo Chakic
She is beast mode American prospect she goes so fucking hard
Literally balls to the wall all the time like non-stop. I worry a little bit. I
Worry a little bit sometimes because she goes maybe a little too hard at times. You know what I mean? Well, so does Katie
Mo Chagash does investigations for American Prospect. She's also been in the crosshairs
of a lot of Zionist groups. And so is Katie, of course. No exit wound. What? Yeah, you
didn't know this. Charlie Kirk has no exit wound. The bullet only entered. That doesn't...
just doesn't fucking make sense. No exibit with the 30-06 and the level of cavity would
have made makes this ship very suspicious. The bullet just entered and the doctors were
like he has the thickest neck we've ever seen. It's like Superman. It's adamantium.
I promise people I have to deliver the Charlie Kirk killer story.
Oh, okay. Well, there's a lot going on with Charlie Kirk. It would be difficult to synthesize
all of it, but when it comes to the guy who has been the suspect, Tyler Robinson, right,
the guy who was arrested, and supposedly killed Charlie Kirk because of his, to sort of,
out of rage toward transphobic language, he, the evidence is never really even there,
But his defense is, I think, extremely cautious about giving anything to the conspiracy theorists,
the Candace Owens's, and there's a whole lot of sub-Owens YouTubers.
So recently there's a few major developments that have come out in the criminal case.
I think that the first one, the first one that comes to mind is the fact that a lot
of people, everybody knows that this guy Tyler Robinson confessed many times. He
confessed on text messages to his lover slash mermaid. He confessed in a
discord message to all of his old buddies that he used to talk about
video games with. The discord confession was composed when Tyler Robinson was
already in custody in the Washington County of Utah.
So before he was transferred to Utah County,
which is where this whole thing went down.
And this brings up another thing.
Supposedly, this is a crime of opportunity.
Propaganda of the deed.
Charlie Kirk was coming to town.
He had this opportunity to take him out.
But Charlie Kirk lives in Arizona, which borders Utah.
And Tyler Robinson lives all the way down in South of Utah.
And in the very south in Washington County,
about six hours away from Phoenix,
and about four hours away from Utah Valley University.
So I don't really know how opportunistic this was.
He hadn't apparently ever gone to Utah Valley University.
That's just something that's sort of been in my mind.
And then in case there was this very, very elaborate
and very specific story that the law enforcement had put out.
The Utah County Sheriff had put out
that his family had turned him in
and that he had come into custody around 10 p.m.
And then the defense starts asking for discovery.
And this is the other big scandal
is that the prosecutor,
the Utah County Prosecutor's Office and the FBI
have provided almost nothing that they've asked for
in terms of actually trying to corroborate the evidence
that the prosecution has cited in its indictment
and its charging statements.
So, but they finally did get some,
a transcript and they got some videos
of his interviews with the cops.
And, because they were trying to argue that, you know,
they had put out all of these,
They had gotten all of these messengers basically they put all of these ideas, you know
with certain recorders and with certain
One of an endless number of base
Chackage tweets and in more relevant news is roses assassinated a guy for the crime of lending some genocide survivors in Gaza watch a World Cup game
Sam Pie Morty, no exit wound because there was no bullet. It was a lapel mic bomb made
by Israel. They specialized in tiny bombs just like their Pedro Brahms in Lebanon. Mossad
told me, I swear. Okay, calm down. The governor of Utah played a really big role in this to
say that he had confessed. Wait, I'm not disagreeing with you, but then what would have killed him
in implant? No, I think a bullet killed him. What are you talking about? I just don't think
it's a 30 out of 6. Something doesn't match up with the... Something feels a little inconspicuous.
consistent is all I'm saying with the gun being used.
Yes, but in fact, you know, he had not
confessed anything, and again, he was being read
his Miranda rights at around 6.30 p.m.
The confession, the discord confession, didn't go out until around 8 p.m.
So this is a big, big
problem for the prosecution explaining where that
That confession came from if he was in custody and not cooperating because he wanted a lawyer
That brings me to another thing. Why didn't he get a lawyer? He didn't get a lawyer officially for another of
14 days after asking for one his
Parents who we have told that his parents thought he was guilty brought him in and then didn't want to get him a lawyer
You don't fuck with gun logic in USA law dog
I'm not the one who knows what a 30-odd I didn't know what a fucking 30-odd six exit wound would potentially look like
Who do you think I got it from none of us are doctors or ballistic experts to do the autopsy or test that specific rifle?
Let's not pretend we know it's crazy for there not to be an exit wound. Yeah, no
I'm trusting the gun guys
The gun guys who had every reason to believe that Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a transgender
anti-fascist, who all collectively were like, I want to believe this, but this seems a little
unbelievable.
You know what I mean?
Because it was going to cost too much money, and so they had to spend two weeks trying
to find a lawyer who the county commission would agree to pay for and that's why that
took so long. Well his parents did want to get him a lawyer so who talked him out of
that? Why did this young man have no lawyer for the first two weeks after he was arrested?
That is a big and he was you know certainly he was.
Yeah, here's a 30-06 going through multiple cast iron pans.
I'm following through 1, 2, 3 pans and also bounces off from number 4.
Press still okay.
Moving up to the 30 out 6.
You think Charlie Kirk's neck is more powerful than fucking 3 cast iron pans?
Like the doctor literally said there was no exit wound and Charlie Kirk's very powerful
neck actually saved the lives of people behind him.
He shot that from close range though.
There's like even I mean, this is not the only video about a 30 out of six power. There's like
He was considered to be on suicide
Watch although he's not suicidal
And that is get that gives you the right to kind of go in and check on him every ten minutes
Really put a lot of kind of psychological
You know light torture that pressure on this guy to so to give it up. Bro. Do you think the mic is that crazy?
Yes, I do. I do think the mic stuff. The other big thing was that everyone knows the texts my love,
you know, I went to, you know, if I can capture my handgun on scene and my vehicle, you know, I will
be with you tonight and then going through very elaborately all of the steps that he took to do
this. And everyone said these text messages don't seem right, but how idiotic would that
be? No prosecutor would falsify evidence. Now, I have a source who has worked in Utah
County who says, no, they'd falsify the evidence. The Sheriff's Department would. That could
happen. Well, the defense has been asking since September for evidence that these text
messages, which you'll remember had no timestamps on them when they were revealed in the indictment,
they've been asking for the forensic evidence that those things actually exist. They've been
asking for the phone, they've been asking for any of the digital files, anything to kind
of, you know, so that it can be sort of proven, be out of reasonable doubt, that these texts
are actually real and they weren't fabricated. And for the evidentiary hearing, which is
coming up, I think in July, it was supposed to be this last month, but they finally, after
much, much, you know, begging and pleading with the judge, they finally got it delayed
because the prosecution just wasn't handing over any of the evidence.
As far as I know, they still have not handed over any of the evidence about the text messages.
And in there, in a filing...
It sounds like he's going to either say he called it or will review people who called
it when it turns out to be a real conspiracy.
No, the only thing that I've refuted from the start was the likelihood that Israel did
it because they thought Charlie Kirk was turning on Israel.
That's all I said.
Yeah.
Why is it everyone always wants one thing for me to lean into?
The only thing I know about the situation is the debate that I was supposed to have
with Charlie Kirk, which was going to be about Israel, his support of Israel, and how he will
continue to support Israel while young voters are moving away, young Republicans are moving
away from Israel support.
That was literally the argument, which is part of the reason why I know for a fact that
he wasn't like turning on Israel because he had never turned on Jeffrey Epstein.
After talking about it extensively, when Donald Trump told him to shut the fuck up
about Jeffrey Epstein, he said, yeah, that's, I'm going to, I'm going to stop talking about
Jeffrey Epstein.
There's no reason for, there's not enough evidence for people to believe that Charlie
Kirk was going to turn on Israel at all.
Okay.
That's the only thing that I've actually disputed. Beyond that, beyond that, there's a lot of
weird circumstances. There's a lot of weird suspicious shit in the investigation, but
But you can still chalk that up to FBI incompetence, right?
But at the end of the day, I found it to be a strange case.
I'm telling you what I found strange about it.
But I still don't think it was like a far, I mean, I still don't.
A Chinese American is talking about theology and an American is talking about dialectical
materialism, it feels like the smiling proud one or where a key faction disciple is good at swordsmanship and a sword faction senior uncle has
strong internal energy like things are reversed
Earlier I heard professor John concluded the current war situation leads to eschatology of Judaism a powerful mysterious Jewish organization orchestrating. I
Was bewildered thinking what else could I have done with this hour?
This John keeps talking about various conspiracy theories in the most classic ones like Freemasonry, Nephilim, etc
And I bet he hasn't actually read the Bible just out here scamming dumb people in the United States
How could Hassanabi still make a video with this charlatan? I thought Hassanabi disdained dealing with such charlatans
America's so hilarious
Treating a jung who swindlers a treasure for predictions like this just make a few more and it's fine
If he's really capable, he shouldn't be at this position connecting with a song
Hassanabi is interacting with many Chinese Americans and their stances are similar to his
It's just that jung that old geezer is too outrageous that Wang drew flavor
Don't believe him since Kamran Asan came to China his mental core has been extremely stable hard to lead astray.
Oh, BDBD is embarrassed by Professor Zhang.
BDBD is embarrassed by Professor Zhang. They're like, yo, he's Canadian.
Yeah, clearly these are a bunch of Chinese netizens who have not read divine comedy.
Honestly, I've supported you for a long time and spreading misinformation on Charlie's
death has to be my red line.
How dare you?
You're still overlooking the fact that he has titanium bones.
I know, I've actually, hold on, I bookmarked a tweet that I thought was really stupid about
this, like a meme.
It's from Forbidden HQ.
Tyler Robinson killed Charlie Perk.
This video shows exactly.
What about the Watcha Boomer conspiracy slop AI video right now on this broadcast?
That's how far we've fallen.
Professor Chong has got me.
The theorists insist no thirty-odd six could possibly behave this way.
The round blasted into Charlie Kirk's neck, crushed his vertebra, and ricocheted downward
toward his heart, only to be stopped dead by his legendary Superman neck of super-dense
steel-like bone.
It created no exit wound and lodged harmlessly just beneath the skin, which experts hailed
as a miracle that saved the bystanders standing behind him.
Up on the rooftop, Tyler Robinson didn't just break down his rifle.
He shredded it apart in a ridiculous hyperspeed blur using nothing but his bare hands.
Then he sprinted across the roof and launched himself off the edge with expert parkour precision.
Tyler made the conscious expert decision to reassemble his rifle one last time and place
it under a tree in a bush.
He then changed back into his blue jeans and maroon t-shirt in hyperspeed.
Time for ice cream.

Besides the fact that Canisans went beast mode with the Israel narratively the biggest
reason normally is that Israel Kirk the founding Kirk is because Nanyahu tweeted RIP Charlie
Kirk while the bullet was still traveling in the air and within 10 minutes was on Fox
saying it wasn't Israel.
that was also yeah that didn't do uh israel any favors they really that's yet another clear
example that israel has no idea how much people fucking hate them and how much people mistrust them
is true like nen yahoo coming out and be like can't believe charlie kirk died we didn't do it was so
insane. Bro, it's awesome, man. Sometimes schizophrenia is the wave.
They actually made the case. No, we shouldn't have to hand over any forensic
files. We're not using those. We're just using the screenshots. Okay, we're
there just using their plan is to use screenshots of the text messages that
they claim are real that nobody thought were real. This also brings me to
another thing, which is what about the clothes? Remember that very distinctive American flag shirt
that was worn by the guy in the surveillance footage that looks sort of like Tyler Robinson,
but not unmistakably like Tyler Robinson. That clothing has never been located,
where is nobody knows where that shirt is. So that's another big problem. The other thing that
really, really, was so amazing.
I haven't even written about this part, but they conducted an analysis, some sort of forensic
analysis of the bullet fragments in Charlie Kirk's neck.
And they couldn't really determine.
It wasn't a match for a 30 out of six.
Most people who know about guns, I'm not one of them, but my son Gabriel is.
sadly, say that 30 out of 6, it's such an incredibly powerful bullet that he would be knocked over
and there would certainly be an exit wound. It would go right through him. And that didn't happen.
There's no exit wound. We know that because Candace Owens showed an actual, she procured
a video that was taken behind him while the shot came through.
So there was no exit wound.
Oh, Erica Kirk concocted this crazy story that she attributed to the surgeon, but apparently
it wasn't a surgeon who didn't actually say this, that he just had magic bones and that
the incredible bone density of Charlie Kirk's had stopped the bullet in its place.
And if his bones hadn't been so healthy and dense, the bullet could have gone through
and killed somebody else.
Why are you laughing?
That seems like a perfectly valid.
Why is that funny?
I don't understand.
He was carrying the flame and he has magic bones.
That seems normal to me.
That seems not like a far-fetched conspiracy theory.
Mmm.
Whatever.
In any case...
Yeah, Charlie Kirk was a big advocate for drinking raw milk.
The bullet is not a match.
It's not, I guess, conclusively a mismatch.
It's just inconclusive, but maybe more conclusively not than otherwise.
So the FBI has decided to do something called bullet-led analysis.
I think that's what it's called.
It's a very, very high-tech test that was invented basically in 1963 and pulled out
right for the Kennedy assassination.
It was invented at a defense contractor that actually was in a lot of trouble during the
Kennedy administration, and that's, you know, is the stature of a lot of Kennedy conspiracy
theories.
You know, Gabe could play a less, thank you, I mean, I want him to hang out with us, definitely,
but the, yeah.
Gabe, stop!
Please stop!
Sorry, Gabe.
It's so funny because I, like, tune out their sounds.
So bullet lead analysis hasn't been used, it was finally discarded by the FBI in 2005
officially. After a really long National Academy of the Sciences study into this form, it had, you know, been used in thousands of cases and a lot of people were
become, you know, getting exonerated by DNA evidence. So they did a study and they officially, you know, throughout the wetland analysis, they said there's really no, it's complete junk science, like it's a very high-tech mode of
young science, because there was this idea that you could use radio, isotope, something,
some sort of electron reader to pinpoint where a bullet had come from, like what box of bullets,
a bullet fragment had come from.
It was very, again, voodoo science,
but it was never really audited until the early 2000s.
They threw it out.
They never used it again, as far as anyone knew,
until Charlie Kirk.
And when I called up the Innocence Project,
I said, you know, so good, do you know who they've done?
Who's got any, you know, expertise on bullet-led analysis?
And the guy who answered the phone was like,
are they dragging out that again?
Are they really dragging that out again?
What is this for?
And I said, oh, you know, Charlie Kirk assassination.
And the guy on the other line, you didn't want to be named,
said, are you kidding?
I'm pretty sure they invented that for the JFK assassination.
So there you go.
They're using bullet-led analysis.
We don't really know.
It's the case against, I do not see how the case against Tyler
Robinson has any validity whatsoever.
And there are stories I know about the specific Sheriff's
Department, the Utah County Sheriff's Department,
stuff that they have been involved in in the recent past
that they that is completely mind-blowing.
If you were watching this later on
and you want to see the full chat with Moe,
where we get into like literally who killed Charlie Kirk
or who didn't kill Charlie Kirk,
you can find that at patreon.com slash the Katie Helper Show.
in there. Nice. Um, speculation, regardless of the new footage. No. No, that's just speculation,
right? Oh my God, someone is an up close and curxinal. Bro, he literally flinges. Look,
That's crazy.
That is absolutely it.
No one has seen it yet.
Anyway, that's all I got for today. We went through a roller coaster today, huh, folks?
I'm not going to read the replies on that, man. Come on, I got too many eyes on me.
I just, that's crazy. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's, that's going to get me in trouble.
All right, so that's all I got for today, folks.
My ass could not be a judge.
That's crazy.
That's what monitoring the situation too hard does for you.
Yeah, I'll see you guys tomorrow.
I think, wait, hold on.
I have, tomorrow I have an interview with Elijah.
