every way, every day.
Last night, I ended the broadcast, as I normally do.
And after I ended the broadcast, after listening to Donald Trump,
explain to us how the Chinese not only stole the election
when he was president, but then somehow Donald Trump
was able to recover the stolen election when
Biden was president, and then also
simultaneously Donald Trump figured out that the Chinese made everybody hate
Donald Trump. After doing all that I went in and I did two hours of podcasting
and it was phenomenal podcasting. Naga Lai I think Hassan listened to Nick
Nick Endrozzi's, PSA, who is Nick Endrozzi's?
The answer is no, I did not do that.
Anyway, but,
oh my God, you know what I just forgot?
You know what I just remembered?

It's a very special day,
And it's one that we celebrate every single week.

and enbies, you already know what's up. I am coming to you live from an area that has
been devastated by... What is this? A Sompiker is making a big mistake. What the fuck is
this
What is it
Okay, we'll watch it later. Why can't you scrutinize Russia like you do Israel?
Wait, what? Why can't I scrutinize Russia like I do Israel?
Buddy
I've never defended Russia
What are we talking about I do scrutinize Russia like I do Israel I scrutinize Russia like I scrutinize America
Anyway, since you don't have the soundboarding into the foz in your mouth no
All right, so
Yeah, Canadians have
Canadians have actually cooked us
But we're all in it together because we're all in this world together, unfortunately.
And therefore, you know, they've cooked themselves.
We are cooking the planet. We're all responsible for it.
This room echoes, by the way. Yeah, it's a big room.
What gives? You know, thanks, Canada.
Shout out to Canada. Thanks, Canada.
I got a fucking whole face full of it when I got in.
I'll tell you all about it. So yeah, this is the part of the broadcast where I tell you about my personal news about what's going on in the world of
Hasan Abbey Piker in between the time period where I press the stop shroom button and press the start shrooming button
So help me God. That's what I'm gonna do and here's the thing
Here is the thing so
What is this Tom Tiffany criticize French is come home for a period with the sound piker
but Republican appeared on a podcast with a host who made anti-semitic remarks of his own.
I didn't make any anti-semitic remarks. What the fuck is happening, man? Okay,
anyway, whatever. We'll get to that in a second. Because, yeah, the Hong Mentum is real. There's
a lot happening in Wisconsin. I'm all over the place. I just need to explain to you my personal
news. Can we go through that? Can I go through my personal news, please? Is that all right?
Is that appropriate? Can we do that one time?
Can we do that for the one time? Okay great everybody take a deep pause
everybody lock in we have a lot to cover today I anyway I did the podcast I
saw a friend of mine who's who's finally back home you know in Los Angeles and
after that I went to sleep woke up at freaking 4 a.m. put on this goddamn suit
Because I'm here for only like two days. Fix your gate? What do you mean? What's
wrong with the noise gate?
Did your personal news involve illicit drugs? No, because I'm a shut-ass
loser. I don't have anything fun going on in my life. Why would there be any
drugs in my life. I'm a loser. Is this better? I can't tell. It's like I'm in the room with
you. Okay, good. That's a good thing. All right, so what the fuck is this fix your life
Asia after dark? Dude, I swear to God, I'm gonna put you on I'm gonna put you on a motherfucking
Rocketship. I swear to God, dude. What do you want me to do?
Fucking end the do you want me to just end the broadcast right
now and go to the Smithsonian National Museum of Asian art
to go to Asia after dark? Is that what you want me to do? All
right, bye guys. Yeah, that would be stupid. Don't you
think? Shut the hell up. Shut up. Enough suggestions.
Anyway, can we see the reflecting pool?
Oh my God, I sometimes feel like I'm a substitute teacher that took the children on.
When I travel, I'm a little frazzled because I'm so used to having everything locked in
and airtight.
And it's kind of difficult for me to maintain that same stability when I'm traveling.
It's exceptional because whenever I travel,
chat behaves like a bunch of children on a field trip.
Like, I don't know if it's my ADHD, my lack of focus.
I don't know if it's that combined with the fact that,
you know, I'm in a unique predicament
that I'm not normally in,
but I don't know if it's because it's Friday,
it chatters as you behave and like is a fucking class trip.
And everyone's like, oh, I'm the class clown.
I'm the class clown.
Okay, you're the whole ass circus, my man.
Are you in Michigan for Abdul-Alios and Bernie's thing?
No, I'm not.
I'm in DC for something different.
Okay, I'm in Washington DC for something different.
But yeah, so as I was saying,
I'm going to Michigan next week.
Okay, I'm going to Michigan next week.
I'm here this week, I'm in D.C. this weekend.
And many of you guys,
your parents should not have signed off
on your permission slips.
I'm beginning to realize this.
That's what's happening.
Are you in D.C. to testify before Congress?
Yes, I'm your mom.
I'm in Washington, D.C. to testify before your mom.
That's what we call your mom, Congress.
Because she's getting fucked by every corporation in fucking America. I don't know
Anyway
All right, so
Yeah, I got on the plane flew in
I'm experimenting I'm experimenting with my flights
Because as you guys know, it's continuous broadcasting up in the house and I'll be broadcasting.
I fly fairly regularly, so I'm trying to figure out how I can maintain a decent sleep schedule.
So I'm not completely cooked when I travel east coasts, usually hard.
Life flat or not, it doesn't matter.
Obviously, there's no lifelikes to DC anyway from Los Angeles, which is pretty crazy.
But I decided I'll just go in the morning, and maybe I'll be a little bit late the next
day.
I'll go, if I have to do an event, I'll go the day prior, I'll get my bearing straight,
and then I'll be able to perform better just by a private jet.
Nummy, yes.
Sleeping pills.
Yeah, that doesn't matter, because it's a four-hour flight.
i don't have an issue flying
i don't have an issue sleeping on flights
that's not the problem the problem is the flight is four hours long
so
basically
if i fly in to the east coast it's like four to five hours long
uh... that i'm only getting like what three hours of real sleep
if at all
it's not going to work and then i have to nap before
i broadcast in the morning
still doesn't work
uh... it just messes me up so i was like what if i sleep the night what if i go
to bed early than i prior
and then take the the super early morning like six a m flight
i did that today but there was a problem
the problem is i thought i was flying into ronald reagan
however
i was not flying a ronald reagan i was flying into dullis
and for people that
are familiar with the dnb
The difference between Dulles and Ronald Reagan
isn't that like crazy normally, like distance wise,
one's like smack dab in the middle of the city,
the other one is like 25, 30 minutes out of the city.
However, when you actually fly into Dulles,
I had forgotten the key problem,
which is if you fly into Dulles 25 minute car ride
under normal circumstances, turns into a three hour and a half
car journey because Washington DC is a grid system that is
ascheeks. All the roads are always closed. There's always
some like important foreign dignitary. And and you just
sitting fucking bumper to bumper traffic. Now stop when you
get into DC. So that's what happened. That's part of the
reason why I'm late today. But you know, you live in your
You live and you learn, hope you took the train, big dog.
No, I did not take the train, big dog.
Shoulda took the Metro, DC Metro is pretty good.
Dog, I have so much gear.
I don't think you guys understand, okay?
I travel, when I travel by myself,
or even when I travel with someone else,
like whether it be March, whether it be someone else,
like I'm carrying all of my gear, okay?
So for you guys, like I know you think I'm like flying
for one day, it's fine.
I have a fucking Pelican case with me,
with all my gear that I set up this morning
before I actually started the broadcast.
I have another bag full of camera equipment,
like sound equipment.
It's just really funny that you guys think that this is,
all of this just materializes,
like I just hit a button and then boom,
live stream, live broadcast.
No, March is not with me this time. Anyway, I'm here for College Democrats of
America. For those of you don't know, they're having a national convention and
you know, that's why I'm here. College, let me put that down. College Dems of
America speech. You just spawn in bro. Yeah, from your perspective, I just spawn
in, right? But that's not how it works. That's not how it works at all. So yeah, in any case,
case. In any case, ladies and gentlemen, I will be linking up with Metro City DSA. I
just haven't been able to figure out exactly how we're going to do that, but we're going
to do that. Both the new mayor, well, hopefully, a lot of the new mayor, like the DSA candidates
have reached out to link up while I'm here, and I'm going to do some with them. MALOT
is here too, but yeah, um, DC DSA reached out, shouts out to the DC DSA boys, you better
get some fucking good ass merch for me ready to go. I need a, I need a new hat. I need
a new DC DSA hat. You better have a cool ass hat, man. That's how you, that's how you
win me over in the, and then eventually when we do the national convention, I'm going to,
I'm going to pick which DSA has the best merchandise right now. It's still Denver for
the record. But yeah, I got the city council member, future DC mayor. I am excited to do
something with them. Do we have a blast off meme, by the way? Do we have a blast off meme
at all or do we not have a blast off meme? Because there's so much happening. Okay. We're
gonna be talking a lot about election security today and are our elections
secure or not I know the answer but I won't tell you until you sent me a
fucking blast off me. Okay. DCDSA had his cherry blossoms on them. Cool. I don't know if it's
corny or cool I haven't figured that out yet but anyway um do we have a blast off meme chat
that's not a blast off meme man that's just a meme about haley stevens
Why are you helping China steal our election collusion?
I like election theft in foreign interference.
That's probably why.
I hate normal democracy, which is when Israel gets to steal the elections.
I hate that.
I much prefer other foreign adversaries stealing the elections instead. What is a Blast Off meme?
I'm so old. It's just when chatter sent me a meme that I use in my Blast Off tweet
on Twitter. Here it is. We got it. That's a good one.
Okay, so yeah, I'm a little bit frazzled as you guys can probably,
as you guys probably tell me, a little bit all over the place, a little bit frazzled.
it happens. It's partially because, you know, I'm, I could be the goddamn air
quality out here honestly because I got in, flags half mass at Dulles Airport,
okay, and co-worker Cliff from StreamerU, 800k a month from Sponsors.
Lobe just said he made 1.1 million dollars in June merch dude, that's crazy
Yeah, the amount of the amount of money I just fucking cast aside for not taking any sponsors is insane
That is actually fucking nuts. That is actually it's got to be like a really good month for him or something
Jesus Christ dude
their quality is ass today blame canada
Yeah, dude, i'ma be honest. I would have never I would never talk to me again either bro. Are you kidding me?
$800,000 a month and motherfuckers like yo, you got a blacklist is dude. I'll be like sure
Who are we black listing next atnt? I'll be like i'm not touching that guy
Are you fucking kidding me 800 grand that makes so much sense? Hey good on him
good on him dude I you know I take it back bro none of you none of you would
say no to the bag a bag that size a bag that size you'd be like yes
son fuck that guy I'm joking I'm joking I am
I'm embellishing, I'm being hyperbolic, I'm cracking fucking jokes before people freak
out.
Okay?
But god damn, there's a lot of cookies, holy shit.
How much I made, how did I pay for all of that?
Well, good news for me, merch sales.
I got $7,800.
Not bad.
YouTube.
That's just the YouTube revenue that's been included in YouTube live stream shorts and
videos, 270,000. Twitch is going to be smaller for me guys. I do not make as much on Twitch,
57,000. I only run about six minutes of ads an hour. I have 9,500 subs. That's about
what you make for that. The biggest bulk of my money though, I made a pivot in my life.
I decided I wanted to stop being viewer funded. I did a sub-a-thon. I had the most subs any
consumer did. I had like an average of 20,000, 30,000 subscribers.
I like that content creators also position themselves as like getting the bag from sponsorships
as like somehow the more ethical way to do business where they're like, I just don't
want to be viewer funded guys.
I don't want to take your money.
I thought it'd be much better to get like, you know, international conglomerates that
give me money instead.
I think that's probably the best way to go about it.
Like it's so funny to me where it's like, oh yeah, I know it's really corrupt to steal
money from the viewers. Look, Ludwig and I do very different things, okay? And therefore,
my business model is very different than his. Mine relies entirely on voluntary subscriptions.
The Piper Broadcasting Service is sponsored by you, the people, for you, the people.
I don't have any sponsorships. I don't run any ads. It's just the way this business
keeps rolling, where I can, you know, spend all this money on fucking flying around the
country and shit. All of that comes from you. And your voluntary contributions, I obviously
have an international shipping conglomerate as well. But that's just like a side hustle
for me. I know that makes like, I know that the net revenue that that generates is around
like $10 billion or so, but that's just a side hustle for me. But like my real, my real
job is, is this and I just, my revenue is just Twitch subs. That's it. You know, Amy
Goodman doesn't call Deanna business, democracy now a business model. I mean, it's not, I'm
just talking big business style because I wear a suit. I'm a suit guy, I'm a business
guy. So I'm talking revenue. I'm talking KPIs. I'm talking direct response ad campaigns.
We're talking CPMs. And also on top of that, I'm talking about moving units specifically
through the Malacca straight to the beautiful nation state city, state of Singapore. Okay.
But as I was saying, I mean Ludwig is a massive content creator, so it does make sense.
Obviously this is not going to be like the average content creator, but he, like making
a million dollars a month is unbelievable.
That is unfathomable.
And it's kind of funny because I think people think I make that kind of money.
Like there's, like I make a lot more money than the average person does.
It's not a secret.
But there's levels to this shit in this business, in this industry.
I very, very openly, voluntarily, I very openly, voluntarily forgo a good chunk, like the
overwhelming majority of his revenue, I don't, I don't get any of that.
And that's by design.
Part of that is because, part of that is because of like my content and my commentary.
of that is because I don't want any editorial control over whatever I do.
One of the biggest criticisms normie streamers get is literally them profiting off of poorer
viewers totally different than what Hassan gets.
Wait, what do you mean?
Do they?
Oh, I know.
That's the funniest thing is that people always say like, oh, subscription is like bullshit
because it's fucked up.
You're like abusing and exploiting your viewers as opposed to getting funded by court.
corporations it's like well
when you are uh...
when you're running an operation that is uh... criticizing every goddamn corporation in
the country
both of the two major parties
uh... let's be real
it this has to be independently funded in order to maintain my independence my
editorial independence
obviously for making fun content you can do whatever the fuck you want you can get
as many sponsors as you want you can get more subscriptions as well like Ludwig
could obviously still make a lot more money they could he could still continue
to farm subs and and pump more ad revenue if you wanted to so there's like
ways that he can maximize his revenue and he chooses not to that's his method
mine is obviously a little different I ran a higher density ads what is this
D in varsity made a million a month when he ran ads no that's not weren't you
making a million a month no dude what the fuck is wrong with you guys why do
you think destiny or vosh would know how much money I make a month why do you
think they would know that stop listening to other people especially
people that have never had the same size audience that I have and especially
people who are not even on this fucking platform, man.
I make a million dollars a week.
And then I said, you know what?
I don't feel good as a multimillionaire
getting these people to pay me money.
I didn't like getting a hundred get to make me feel weird.
I'm gonna start pivoting to get most of my credit
from sponsors.
That's the biggest cut of this.
Yeah, the only thing I take offense with is like,
You know, you're, you do, it's just crazy to me that, that is like, you had three times
of Ludd's viewers, but made 120 times from ads, duh.
Yeah, I had three times Ludd's viewers, but it doesn't, I've never made, I've not, I've
made a fucking 10th of Ludd's revenues.
Okay, I'm Rebel Atia, an ATT sponsorship, and I also have an Alienware partnership.
He's got a long term partnerships.
Alright, and I do one-off deals as well as you guys do, the sum is 800,000.
Oh!
So the total human weight is 0.1.
1.1 mil.
Ugh, oh fuck.
Anyway.
How's giving away money when you give editorial control on Twitch which is owned by Amazon that makes zero sense to me?
Do you think Amazon is okaying everything that I'm saying?
like the limitations that I have is within the terms of service but as long
as I don't violate the terms of service let's be real twitches am not that smart
like do you think Amazon is signing off on everything I say and do on this
platform are you fucking are you out of your mind Amazon is contrary to the
is really government dog what are you talking about
how do you have a total control come into it great question
if you have longstanding if you have longstanding contracts with major
companies
whether it be a ten tier whether it be
uh... any number of different companies many of them sell products in the
country israel for example many of them
direct relationships with the nation-state of Israel. So, no criticism of Israel or very,
very modest and very moderate criticisms of Israel, if at all. Okay? That's how a company
would maintain some semblance of editorial control over what I do.
The most editorial control that Twitch has ever had over me is back in the day when I had a contract
and part of that contract stipulation was that I would run ads. I would tell
people that they should use an ad blocker to not see the ads, right, in my
spiel. And Twitch told me I can't do that. Expenses, payroll 225 grand, travel
55 grand, invest 69 grand, marketing 10 grand, total 359 thousand dollars.
I
So that's a lot of overhead and it's a lot of money good on him
Corporations don't give you money for free with the fuck they demand you to say and show
No, like here's the thing
Here is the thing. Okay
For what Ludwig does, this makes perfect sense. It actually makes perfect sense for what Ludwig does.
Because Ludwig doesn't have like, Ludwig is not going to talk about like controversial issues, right?
Ludwig is not going to, Ludwig is not going to talk about politics for the most part.
He has a political position, but he's not going to like make that the primary focus of his content.
content. So for him, this makes total sense for him to get funded by sponsors because like they're not going to
They're not going to be like, hey, you can't like they're not gonna have a big
Opinion on like hey, you're not allowed to talk about like Nintendo or something. You know what I mean?
Like there you're not you're not allowed to explain what your
favorite smash character is. That would be a ridiculous demand from a corporation that's
never going to happen. That's why I keep repeating like, for what I do, for what I do, editorial
control and money is mostly just freedom and safety. Safety to be able to hire a lawyer,
if necessary, money allows me to travel freely, and, you know, money allows me to have a comfortable
security, a comfortable security barrier in my life, okay, and also be able to fundraise or,
you know, be able to put together this operation like with ease. If I were to get it from sponsorships,
they'd obviously have issues with, they'd obviously have issues with what I say, what
I do. I mean, we've had venues literally fucking cancel. Political rallies with now the person
who won that race, right?
Mela Keros and Denver.
So for that reason, I think the best, most resilient way
to maintain the editorial independence
is through a subscription-based model,
where people just give voluntary subscriptions
if they want to.
You travel a lot. Would you say you spent 55k a month on travel? No, I don't. That's
an insane amount. I don't know what the fuck he's doing, but he probably travels more
than me, maybe. You're in the comments of this Hasan Minhaj TikTok. You described this
thing called the little treat economy. What is that? If people feel like they can't afford
a house or afford an economic life, they're going to return to risky investments, but
they're also going to return to kind of buying little things for themselves
because it's like, well, I'm not saving for a long-term plan.
Oh, look at that.
So I'm going to buy labubus, or I'm going to buy like a pistachio, Dubai, chocolate latte.
And all of this is very rational.
Like, I'm not saying that people are making the wrong decision.
I think all of it makes a lot of sense.
But that's a little treat economy, is that people will, you know,
get themselves nice little things, which I think makes sense.
So is it essentially, if I'm hearing this right, hey, tomorrow's going to suck,
but I can make today a little bit more yummy.
Yeah.
Are there little treats that you like?
I like buying pens.
What kind?
Well, I like my pilot thing.
Is that the pilot G2?
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
So yeah.
Uniball Vision is one of my favorites,
but the pilot G2.
Yeah, the pilot G2.
I like how it has the hook.
Yeah, yeah.
There's also one, there's a pen store in Olita.
I mean, you won't have a little treats.
They have like pens from Germany, Japan.
It gets pretty pricey.
Yeah, there's this one sort called Moochee, or do you know it?
You're talking about Moochee.
Yeah, yeah, they have Moochee pins.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I set up pins.
Yeah, they were pretty solid.
So that's, yeah, that's what I like to do.
That's what you do when you're like, I'm just gonna go crazy.
I'm gonna drop, you know, $68 on pins right now.
Yeah, yeah, notebooks.
Nerd, what the hell is that?
Yeah, I also have little treats too. Sometimes when I get depressed or somebody writes something mean in the comment section.
What I like to do is I'll just door dash ice cream at two o'clock in the morning and I'll get a couple pints.
Ben and Jerry's.
American dream. And then what I'll do is I'll eat three quarters of it.
My wife finds out in the morning and then what I'll do is I'll just blame the children and throw them under the bus.
Yeah.
And then that's what kids are good for, you know.
Why my hand clinging.
I
Dorks she's Mars fucking makes eco super easy to learn hell. Yeah
Anyway, where was I?
So yeah, all right, we blasted off already. I'm here in DC the air quality is awful
I'm a little bit frazzled even though I got a decent amount of sleep last night and a decent amount of sleep on the plane
I don't know why this happens to me
I don't know if it happens to you guys as well, but like when I fall asleep on the plane my hands go numb
What does that mean?
Am I dying?
Like I guess like when I'm sitting still
Like the outside of my hands go go numb and then I wake up and I'm like, uh, and then I have to like
And I have to like, you know move my hands and arms around
immediately. That means you're gay. Elbows bent too long. Diabetes. WebMD says
turbo cancer. Nice, nice, nice. Carpal tunnel or bad circulation. I mean I think
I'm just like shoving my shoving into my elbows so it cuts off the the blood
circulation. So then yeah when my hands are now I'm just running to the bathroom
to give myself a stranger with two hands. Yeah. Anyway, when you get older, you need
to wear compression socks while flying. Yeah, for blood clots, right? To avoid blood clots.
Anyway, too much wrist day at the gym, probably. Your hands are on your lap, and yeah, your
arms aren't straight to the so the extremities are cinched. Well, that's probably what's
going on. Okay, so, um, yeah, let's get into it. So Donald Trump delivered a primetime
speech last night, and we obviously have to talk about it. It was his dog shit. Okay.
I reviewed it in real time as it was taking place.
Oh my God.
Oh my God, Harvard Harris poll came out.
Who do you support, age 18 to 24?
60% say Hamas, wow.
Wow.
It turns out the kids are also saying Hamas is a thousand times better than Israel.
What do we do? What do we do here?
interesting predicament. Who could have predicted? Interesting predicament. Who could have predicted
this? Huh. 18 to 24 year olds declared a terrorist organization. Yeah. Are you going to the
Marxism conference in Chicago this September? What do you fucking think? Huh? What do you
fucking think. What do you think? I might go into the Marxism conference. Angela Davis is going to be
there. Of course I'm going to the Marxism conference.
No, that poll is not from September 2025. That poll is new. It just came out. It was literally
this week. The people that were polled were polled this week.
Um, anyway, where was I?
Where was I?
What was I saying?
Um, yeah, there's a lot to talk about.
Let's get into it.
So last night, Donald Trump, last night, Donald Trump cried and complained and tried
to do this thing, uh, where he, he wanted to, he wanted to justify the save act, right?
this super restrictive federalized elections scheme that he wants to put together to manipulate
the elections, to basically purge people off the roles and make it more difficult for them
to register to vote in a country where the plurality usually doesn't vote, even though
their vote are eligible. And obviously the Republicans want to make that even harder
so that there's like 12 total people in the country actually voting and every single one
of them happens to be a billionaire and also very pro-Israel.
So like that's basically the system, the perfect system that these guys would live with if
given the opportunity and they absolutely hate it when working class individuals vote.
So they try to do everything they can to make sure that those who do vote, working class
individuals who do vote, are making decisions off of faulty data, faulty information, our
elections are stolen by moneyed interests.
So there is no real democracy, right?
We'll get into this Hamas poll, the Harvard Harris Hamas poll in a second, obviously.
I don't want to talk about my impact like this.
If you ask the ADL, that is, of course, I'm not going to take credit for any of that obviously.
But we'll look at the full poll in a little bit.
But as I was saying, so Donald Trump, president, 47, came out of the gate swinging last night.
They promoted this speech like it was going to be a real game changer, like this was going
to shock the world.
It was going to shock the people's conscience.
And as I told you ahead of time that it probably wasn't going to be the case, it was a little
bit of a whimpering fart. It wasn't necessarily this world changing incident. It was just
more so the decrepit old man that's lost his sauce, that's lost his fastball, that kind
of understands that he's no longer as popular as he once was, trying to get ahead of the
upcoming midterm elections where he is very clearly going to
receive a significant blow. Elections are popularity contests. You can consider
them in some to some to a certain degree a mandate, right?
And it's clear that the Democrats in spite of their
worst judgments are probably still going to do
fairly well. You can thank our movement for that as well. They never will. They
They will endlessly seek to punish us for it, but that's besides the point that's neither
here nor there.
Regardless, Donald Trump wants to, uh, wants to get ahead of that and do everything in
his power to basically manipulate the elections, purge people off the voter rolls, that kind
of stuff.
Now, the problem is a lot of the things that he talked about, if not everything, was already
readily available.
This is information.
None of it was new.
additional speculations off of the readily available information that's I guess somewhat new, but it all
ultimately tied back to
It all ultimately tied back to the save act. This is what he wants to do, right? We covered this in great detail yesterday and
I will continue to cover it today as well more Pegasus is coming after fans
of mine. Okay, we'll look at that in a second. My entire community is international commerce individuals that that work with the beautiful nation of Singapore, he better not do that. He better not come after the other shipping magnates in this community. So
Why the deflection for Trump's points?
The Chinese stole our vote list by googling it, Chinese list, like, Chinese-ly?
Yes.
Um, my favorite point, I will just come out of the gates with this, okay, right off the
jump.
I've got to wash my hands of this really quickly.
I am Chinese, okay?
I am white Chinese.
I know I keep saying to people that I'm not Chinese, but it turns out, if you don't
like President Donald Trump, you are Chinese.
And I don't like President Donald Trump, so I guess I am Chinese and we are all Chinese.
That was the argument that he tried to present last night.
Now of course I'm joking, you didn't say you're literally Chinese if you hate me, but he did
say you have been duped by the Chinese into hating me, the big beautiful president.
So that was really fun.
It's like Russiagate, but somehow worse because like obviously there was a decent amount of
evidence that Russia tried to interfere and at least like engage in influence peddling
in the 2016 elections.
Liberals greatly overemphasize the impact of that because they were coping with Hillary's
loss.
But this is far worse than that because one, there's no evidence whatsoever, not even enough
evidence to suggest that there was genuine interference by the Chinese in our election.
But also on top of that, Donald Trump took that to say, China is hurting my feelings
personally.
I'm the president.
China is making everybody hate me.
It's the funniest version of Russiagate that they could have designed.
So much respect to the Republicans for constantly pushing the needle.
Let's hear what this guy has to say.
Press last night, where he continued his campaign to cast out on the 2020 election he lost in
the 2026 midterms, he fears losing.
He did it by making a series of misleading claims and citing dated intelligence that
failed to demonstrate any votes were actually compromised.
Senior political correspondent Rachel Scott is at the White House with the latest.
Good morning, Rachel.
George, good morning to you.
And Republicans on Capitol Hill were hoping the president would focus on immigration,
on the economy.
It's just they believe will be important to voters this midterm election.
But instead, the president came before the American people to talk about an election that
he lost six years ago using unfounded claims to demand sweeping changes ahead of the midterms.
With the midterm elections just four months away, President Trump taking to the podium
in prime time to sow doubt in America's election system, making misleading claims about the
election he lost six years ago.
No country could be great without fair and honest elections.
You have to trust your country.
In a 25-minute speech, the president making extraordinary and vague claims that officials
he appointed in his first administration were part of a cover-up to keep information about
foreign interference and election fraud away from him.
Arguing newly released documents would show efforts by China to interfere in our elections
and expose flaws in the voting system.
They're vulnerable and they're easily compromised and people within our government knew that.
The president provided no evidence that the outcome or any votes were altered in the 2020 election and his claims deeply by the way
I got to give a shout out to the team at this hotel
They wrote a little note when I first came in they they
They got me diet Mountain Dews
And they wrote a little note they were like hopefully your your visit is your visit to DC is stone lock free and
And they got me four died mountain dudes, which is crazy
House on Abbey heads are everywhere, bro
It's awesome, sorry, it's nice touch feel like I'm Austin show
Contradict the assessments his own intelligence if there was a fraud does that mean his win was illegitimate?
No, you see you see what you're trying to do is apply logic to the situation and
And in order to understand Donald Trump, you can't do that.
That's a big mistake.
Because you think there's any logic to what Donald Trump is saying when the answer is
there simply is not, okay?
That's your big problem.
It's okay.
Everyone makes this mistake.
Everybody makes this mistake.
Because it doesn't make sense that the election was stolen, the election integrity was fine
in 2016 when Donald Trump won the election, even though he still complained after his
victory, if you guys recall.
And then Donald Trump became president, but then the election was stolen from under him
while he was president.
And then Joe Biden became president, but then when Joe Biden was president, he fixed the
election system again, so that Donald Trump could be president again.
None of it makes sense, because if you're the president, if you can steal the election
as Trump is claiming Biden did, while Trump was president from right under his nose, why
wouldn't you steal it again?
Why wouldn't you use the election theft button and slam it extra hard to make sure Donald
Trump doesn't become president?
You're now the president.
The Liptards are the president, right?
the Libtard Party is in charge, the Chinese Communist Party is in charge, why wouldn't
they just continue doing election theft? None of it makes sense, but none of it has to make
sense because let's be real, these are not the brightest crayons that he's painting with,
Okay, Donald Trump isn't necessarily a very intelligent guy.
And his fan base is even dumber than he is.
So obviously, it doesn't have to make any logical sense whatsoever.
You can't say too big to rig either for the record.
You can't say that because it was bigger last time around.
Like Donald Trump got more votes in the 2020 election than he did in 2024.
So that also doesn't really make sense.
Like he got more votes, but then I guess like they rigged it even harder in 2020.
So why didn't they rig it just as hard in 2024?
This is an understandable question to ask, right?
Right?
This was gave him in 2021 that China did not attempt to influence the presidential election
outcome.
Trump lost in 2020 by seven million votes.
He lost the electoral college and lost more than 60 court cases challenging the election,
some in front of judges he appointed.
And there's no evidence of widespread voter fraud, something his own attorney general
at the time acknowledged.
Still the president has been fixated on unfounded claims of voter fraud, demanding Congress
pass the Save America Act, a sleeping voter ID bill alleging his administration found
more than 275,000 non-citizens on the voting rolls.
Yeah, no. Chairman Zhu Baideng, Zhu Baideng of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary,
Lifetime Chairman, the Premier, he's got it all. He's all of it. Zhu Baideng.
He's the man. He is our guy. And he did it for us. And he did it for us, the, the international
white Chinese association, the international association of white Chinese, which is all
of us.
Now the 275,000 non-citizens were on the voting rolls was actually an interesting one. That
was probably one of the only like actionable things that he could point to. And it turns
out guys this might come as a surprise to you. He was lying about that too. Now he wasn't lying
that there were you know like names that needed to be taken off the voter rolls he wasn't lying
about that part. It turns out they weren't like non-citizens or anything I mean some of them might
have been but for the most part they were just like dead people. So you know a thing that happens
So that should probably come as no surprise to some of you, but I know many of you are big-time Trump fans,
and you think that Trump never lies, and he's the best, and when he says something, it's obviously the most truthful thing that anyone's ever said.
said, you know. So yeah, the Trump get more votes in 2020 than it did in 2024. I thought
he, I thought he did. I thought 2020 was the most votes that any Republicans ever gotten.
I didn't, maybe I'm wrong.
I could be wrong.
Let's take a look.
Let's, okay, okay, fake news alert
while I was talking about Donald Trump,
turns out I might've been doing fake news.
How many votes did Trump get in 2020?
Why is there no normal just fucking straight up answer, dude?
In the national popular Biden received 81 million, Trump received 74 million.
So he got 74 million votes in 2020 and I believe he got like 70 million in 2024.
If I'm not mistaken, we can Google it as well.
Turns out I was right.
And Chatters that were casting doubt on what I had to say might have been wrong.
Let's take a look.
How many votes did Trump get in 2024?
2020-2040 United States presidential election. Oh wait, no, he got, he got 77. Okay, no, chat
was right. I was wrong. He got 77 million. I was wrong. He got more votes this time.
You know what? You know what? Too big to rig. It turns out, it turns out my mistake. It
It turns out he did actually rig it or sorry, the Democrats couldn't rig it.
It turns out it was too big to rig.
That's right, baby.
That's right.
That's my goddamn goat president right there.
Too big to rig.
I apologize, Mr. President.
I know I'm in your presence right now.
I'm in your city.
You know, my mistake, my mistake, I was wrong.
I, I, I, you know, this is a big, this is a big problem, fake news, a big problem on
the left.
Too big to reg is such a good trucker gave porn title.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
The unbelievable L here is for Kamala going from 81 million votes to 75 million.
That is insane. I mean, it's not just because it was Kamala Harris. Let's be real. It was
also because it was Joe Biden. Okay. Did you check in with T man? I did not inform T man
that I was coming into his hood. NBC Tiktok reading through the White House's documentation
now and they say that over 250,000 non citizens were found when they looked at the voter rolls
of four states. But when you dig into that, what it's clear that they did is they analyzed
the public voter rolls, the kind of voter rolls that I can buy if I have an AMEX and
a willingness to spend a few hundred dollars for the public voter rolls, and put it through
a federal database that once was used to administer benefits. Now, this database has been reworked
by the Trump administration to try and use it for election officials. But early reports
show that when you put voter rolls through this, and I'm talking the private voter rolls,
the kind of social security numbers,
the kind that are much more accurate
than the public voter rolls.
When you put people through that,
you often end up with lists of newly naturalized citizens
who this database that's been reworked and Jerry rigged
finds lots of newly naturalized citizens
who are being flagged as potential non-citizens.
And when you put public data through that,
it's gonna come up with incredibly inaccurate lists.
There is little indication to show
that the White House's documentation
actually has that many noncitizens. Occasionally, noncitizens show up on the voter rolls, but
not nearly as many as the president is saying. There's also no evidence of the fraud that
he said was occurring because you have to actually vote as a noncitizen to be committing
voter fraud.
Yeah, in order for, I mean, even if a noncitizen is accidentally on a voter roll, which mistakes
can happen. This is why I said our elections have integrity and the reason why I'm confident
in that is because we obsess over it. It's mostly the Republicans that obsess over it,
but I guess in this circumstance, it's not even necessarily, it's not even fair to say
it's just the Republicans that obsess over it. Obviously, there are a lot of commissions
bipartisan ones that are making sure that the elections are correct and they're fair and
They're free and all that stuff.
But like, what's crazy is,
what's crazy is,
they're like, we know, we know that non-citizens don't vote.
And yet, we know that non-citizens do not vote.
And yet, Republicans just say it all the time.
And they've said it so many times,
not dissimilar to how they claim that, you know,
non-citizens are violent and responsible for the crime rates and all this stuff, that if
you repeat a lie long enough, it just becomes the truth, especially if the oppositional forces
in the country are not fighting back against this misinformation.
And Democrats have been fairly insufficient in their response to especially the idea that
undocumented migrants are responsible for tremendous amounts of crimes in this country.
So that's more so just like a meta commentary on truth and not having any consensus reality
and what not, but we just know that that's not the case, right?
Oh, look, it's the terrorist sympathizer, dog-shocking dictator-loving buffoon, okay.
Thanks, chatter.
You really owe me on that one.
How do all the media keep discussing if his claims are based in good evidence instead of
talking about why he's bringing up his baseless claims, again, in the lead of the midterms?
I mean, I think the media is aware that he's lying.
They're covering it fairly, I mean, they're covering it with accuracy.
It's just that right now, we're kind of in a holding pattern.
at the mercy of Donald Trump's whims, like if he decides to go in one direction, it's,
you know, it's just frustrating
because we don't know what could take shape in the upcoming days. I suspect that he will use
of the Department of Homeland Security, I believe Mark Wayne Mullen also did a press
conference on like the actions he's going to be taking and things like that.
But yeah, I mean, he wants to, he wants to make sure that, that people don't go out and
vote against them and against the Republican Party.
So we'll see.
But at no point did the president prove people cast ballots who shouldn't have election officials
across the country quickly responding. Nevada Secretary of State saying there are numerous
protections in place to prevent non-citizens from casting a ballot. And in Pennsylvania,
the Republican Secretary of State telling the New York Times, all evidence has shown
that non-citizen voting is extremely rare across the country, including in Pennsylvania.
Democrats warning that President Trump is laying the groundwork for challenging future
election results.
He's laying the foundation to be able to tell America after Election Day that the election
was corrupt and therefore should not be respected.
I mean, that's the best case scenario for the record.
Guys, what we're talking about here is the best case scenario that he's like not capable
of doing something before the elections to like impede on people's rights to be able
to go out and cast a fucking vote.
The best case scenario currently is, four months from now, Democrats go out, they vote.
Obviously, there's a lot more enthusiasm for them to go out and vote than the Republican
base because either some people are, why are you such a fucking doomer, wait, what, dog?
You've been in here for 31 months.
My job is to analyze the day's news and sometimes offer what I think might happen in the future.
And unfortunately, the day's news is fucking grim, okay?
It's grim all the time.
News flash, a lot of things suck, okay?
A lot of things suck big dicks and big balls, which is why I'm going to keep telling you
exactly what's going on without trying to uh... you know without trying to offer
you any sort of
uh... without lying to you basically i'm not a lot of you okay
and yet you won't get all right
we just got word from both china and russia they're rejecting the claims that
the president made last night
as he closed his speech he demanded that republicans on capitol hill pass the
save america at this is voter i d bill which require proof of citizenship to
register to vote
it would also severely restrict mail in voting
But the president does not have the votes to get this through Congress, and what's more, that bill does nothing to address what the president spent most of his time focused on last night, these allegations of foreign election interference, which again, his own intelligence agencies at the time.
I was wondering where the fuck the noise gate was coming from. I just realized, like, okay, chatters weren't wrong. There is a little bit of echo because the, the HDMI, uh, okay, I just fixed it. I just fixed it.
there is an issue with my audio
turns out the fucking noise perverts were correct
said was just simply not true george
and racial the same time the president also focused on profits and his media
company announcing plans to profit
the president's social media posts
yes you're to the president's media
all that one is you're not a little bit of access to president trump social
media posts
on a social media platform truth social users will be able to pay for immediate
access to what the president says
The president has a history of announcing major things on true social, from military
action to domestic and foreign policy trade deals, long before we even get an official
statement from the White House, and that's what has watchdog groups particularly concerned.
This could give another way for President Trump to profit off of the presidency, George.
Right, because so many of those posts have also been about companies the president has
invested in.
Good afternoon, a question from Reuters.
US President Donald Trump declassified intelligence on Thursday, but he maintained, showed Chinese
interference in US elections, despite a US intelligence assessment that found no evidence
Beijing affected the 2020 vote that he lost.
Does the Foreign Ministry have any comment on this, and will President Trump's comments
affected by that from relations. Thank you.
First of all,
And yeah, um, China came out and said, this is not correct.
Y'all are fucked up.
Also, they might as well say we love Donald Trump while they're at it.
Cause why shouldn't they love Donald Trump?
Donald Trump has been the greatest gift to Chinese soft power.
Okay.
Donald Trump has been the greatest president for China in one, in, in
approximately two years of his second term. Donald Trump caused so much instability around the world
and destroyed American soft power initiatives, destroyed the international design that we had
not only created ourselves, were the architects of, but also were safeguarding for almost a century.
country. Donald Trump threw that into the fire, lit the world on fire, quite literally
and figuratively, and created so much instability and undermined critical allies all around
the world to such a degree that now, unlike ever before, when people are polled around
the world about China versus the United States of America, they prefer China to the United
States of America. That is incredible. I mean, that is, that is insane, right?
America had so much soft power. America had so much goodwill.
Many might even say goodwill that it didn't deserve.
And Donald Trump lit it all on fire in an alarming record-breaking pace.
This is perhaps the reason why they call Donald Trump the great nation builder for China in China,
in the People's Republic of China. That's what they know him as. So for Donald Trump to turn
around and act as though, you know, China's making everybody hate me. It's kind of funny.
It's just like simply put it's the it's the most narcissistic thing that you could possibly do where you never
look within
For any blame you never take responsibility for your actions and you just assume that everybody hates you because
Not because of what you've done, but you know some other person some other person made
Everybody hate you it must be China
You need to run it back real quick that last question answer because he was
definitely not saying they love Trump law I know they didn't say that I'm
saying they should basically say that if they were honest they would be saying
that behind closed doors they're probably like you fucking hear this guy
this guy thinks this guy thinks we haven't benefited tremendously from
Trump being president did you hear it he said we made he said we made the
world hate him you made the world hate you motherfucker what are you talking
about like think about this dude 100 years of soft power 100 years of global
hegemony okay and on top of that we're talking about even a much much more
powerful social force Orientalism racism like China has always been seen as like
the great menace, right? Throughout its century of humiliation, it's an area for colonial plunder.
And past that point, since its revolution, it's always been a menace. It's at times been a great
and valuable ally to American foreign policy in the region to use against the other real enemy,
the USSR. However, ultimately, from the perspective of the rest of the world, whether it be
the Asian countries around China, or whether it be countries in Europe, China has always
been seen as, China has always been met with suspicion, right?
China's renewable energy revolution is fantastic, but at what cost?
Like there is a whole meta here in the Western world, in Western media specifically, that
continues
this uh... suspicion against china
suspicion that i think is is unwarranted
that's my personal perspective the suspicion that very much existed
for the longest time and there's
approved that
and yet
more people around the world favor china over the u.s. peace study suggests
and it's really funny because everyone knows exactly how this happened
Everyone except for Donald Trump. Donald Trump is the only person, perhaps the only person
in the country, and maybe his, you know, stupid cult, that doesn't realize that Donald Trump
alone is responsible for this attitude shift. Most Americans still don't like China, and
yet most Americans also don't like Donald Trump. So clearly, something doesn't add up,
Right? We are in the minority of American citizens that actually don't have a negative
opinion of China, but also despise Donald Trump. We are literally a tiny sliver of the American
population. If you look at the American population, for the most part, they're not exactly super
favorable. Now, obviously, the American population's opinion on China has changed dramatically for the
better as well, but we're still nowhere near where other countries are, right?
So it's extra funny that he is laying the responsibility of the hatred that people have,
the very real palpable hatred that people have Americans have and the rest of the world has
towards Donald Trump in the hands of the People's Republic of China.
In part of Homeland Security, we've identified 250,000 non-citizens registered to vote in just
four states. Mind you, we have 46 other states. In just four states, we've identified 250,000
non-citizens registered to vote in California, in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Nevada.
We also worked with proactive states to identify 28,000 non-citizens on their voter rolls,
plus 400,000 individuals that are still registered to vote that are deceased.
Now those 20 or these 23 states, they proactively worked with us on the save program.
That's Georgia, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, North Carolina, Idaho, Alabama, Missouri, Louisiana,
Kansas, Arkansas, Wyoming, Montana.
Well, it kind of feels like these red stays are these red stays got a real problem.
I have a floor.
How the fuck do you respond to this?
I don't know. You just fucking say the truth. You identify what they're saying, you identify
what the problem is, and then you keep repeating the truth over and over again. At this stage,
not to go back to the meta commentary here, but at this stage, like, it kind of doesn't
matter. The Trump supporters are gonna believe this no matter what, and they're gonna believe
even more far-fetched claims as a matter of fact. And the rest of the country is gonna
be like, that's stupid. So the best you can hope for is like people in the margins that
are maybe half paying attention to this stuff, that hear what the president says and go,
wait a minute, that's crazy. And then you try to patiently explain to those guys who
are not a part of the cult that that is wrong. And that's all you can do. That's all you
can hope for. And, and, you know, continue to, to let the material conditions wither
away and create so much instability, so much chaos, so much anger and resentment that like
his base gets smaller and smaller and smaller until they are in the margins.
What proof would it take you to convince you that even a portion of this is legit?
The last 30 years of investigations from independent commissions, right-wing think tanks, liberal
think tanks, who have not conducted extensive research on the integrity of elections to
to show that American elections are actually pretty reliable
and there's no evidence of voter fraud beyond like margins.
Like the greatest example of this
is the Heritage Foundation, right?
The Heritage Foundation rolled up their sleeves
and got to work, okay?
They conducted the most comprehensive study
on voter integrity and election integrity and voter fraud,
because obviously this is a major right wing position, right?
So in order to justify this major right wing position,
they had to go and find some evidence.
So they did.
The problem for them is they looked at billions of votes
that were cast over three decades,
and they found that approximately 1,200 to 1,400 instances
voter fraud had taken place. Over billions, over three decades of elections, local elections,
state elections, presidential elections, they only found 1,400, 1,200 to 1,400. I don't remember
the exact number. So they disproved their own theory while they were trying to create sufficient
evidence. That is the reason why an extraordinary claim such as the one that the administration
is making require extraordinary evidence and yet there is no extraordinary evidence. There's not
even any evidence whatsoever, which is precisely the reason why they're leaning into, they're
leaning into silly things like this. They're leaning into, you know, whatever they can to be like,
go, well, you know, let's cast some doubt as NBC news also reported and explained some
of this is newly naturalized citizens that haven't been updated in the registry and
therefore the department of Homeland Security or the administration is making it seem like
these newly naturalized US citizens are actually non-citizens and technically technically are
not allowed to vote when they have that.
are all these release docs all fake you think no no no no my friend what the
administration is doing is take speculation and investigations that were
conducted and delete the conclusion of the investigations okay so it would be
similar to this the FBI claims let's say I'm making this up in a hypothetical
scenario, the FBI claims that they have suspicion that 100,000 people illegally voted. Okay?
They go in and they find in their investigation that there are dead people that needed to
be perched in the voter rolls to the tune of like 10,000 people, let's say, right? So
the first number is 100,000. The suspicion is 100,000. They find 10,000 people that were
not taken off the voter rolls, even though they had died.
But then they take it one step further, as investigators are supposed to, and they look
at who has actually voted, even though they're dead.
And they find zero instances, or let's say one or two instances, of people voting past
the point of their demise.
The FBI will look at this data and will conclude, as they did, this intelligence assessment
that they're releasing is readily available information since 2021.
The FBI will come out and say, as they did in their intelligence assessment, not just
the FBI, but the entire intelligence community, right?
say there is no evidence of voter fraud and that the elections, the election integrity
remains absolute. There's no real evidence of voter fraud beyond the margins. It's not
even like there's no, there's no concerted effort. We did not find in our investigation
that there was any concerted effort to, to thwart the outcome or disrupt the outcome
of American elections. And that's our conclusion. Like we dug deep, we investigated, we found
that there wasn't any like real evidence for our elections being tampered with by foreign
countries. They might even say they attempted to, they attempted to extract information,
right? But ultimately, they did not succeed.
If the Trump administration comes in and chops the conclusion of that investigation and simply
says there was suspicion that the FBI had reliable intelligence that 100,000 fake votes
were cast. Not only did they delete the conclusion, so they're lying by omission, but then on
top of that, they actually lied in the front end of that too because they lied and made
the initial theory into a hard fact. That's just lying. Simply put, they're both lying
by a mission, and they're lying by exaggerating the claims, and by claiming that those claims
weren't claims at all, they were actually the conclusion of the investigation.
That's what they did last night.
I don't know if that was simple enough.
I hope I was able to explain it.
So there are numerous ways to tackle these arguments. There are numerous ways to tackle
these arguments. Obviously, one of the funniest ones, the ones that I like the most are the
simple ones. The simplest way to ask this question is like, so the elections were fucking stolen
under your watch, but then they weren't stolen when Biden was president?
hold on one second
hold on one second
Sorry. Have you talked about Trump's speech last night? Yes, that's what we're talking
about currently. For the South Dakota, Indiana, Arizona, South Carolina, Utah,
Nebraska, Michigan, and my great home state of Oklahoma. Real ID. Yeah, for the
record, the simplest question to ask people, the simplest question to ask
people is, so the elections, the election integrity was compromised under
the Trump administration when Trump was president and he lost the election, but then Biden became
president and then Biden actually fixed the election integrity. So Trump won again. How does
that work? Right? This is it. So the elections were rigged under, the elections were rigged under
Trump's watch, but then Biden fixed the election rigging and that's how Trump won. Because that's
the argument he's presenting. It makes no fucking sense. It literally makes no sense whatsoever.
None of it makes sense.
Does not prove citizenship and does not give you the right to vote.
You must be a U.S. citizen and you must be eligible to vote.
Before and after the election, we will scrub all the election records looking for illegal aliens and those who are ineligible to vote, including those that somehow voted, yet they were deceased.
If you're illegal and attempted to vote or you tried to vote illegally for someone else, we will find you and we will charge you.
Yeah, no shit, dude. That's always been the law. It's literally the same as saying,
hey, if you go out and you shoot a grandmother in the face, we will find you and we will
prosecute you and you will go to prison. Yeah, wow. What a revelation. Oh, I didn't know that.
I didn't know that it was illegal to vote as a non-citizen.
Of course, that's always been the case. It's just an unbelievably rare situation. It does not happen. It does not happen at all. Okay? That's the problem.
That is the issue.
Illegal voter registration and illegal voting both carry penalties up to five years in prison
and up to $250,000 in fines. We will pursue maximum pressure on this.
Yeah, so let's talk about this, the major networks not willing to carry the President
of the United States address to the nation on election security. How shameful is that?
I think it was ABC, NBC, and I don't know if CBS, did CBS carry it, you know, CBS carried
it.
So ABC and NBC not carrying that.
Why?
What are they trying to cover up?
Why wouldn't they want to inform the American people?
Why are they calling themselves a news outlet if they're not actually trying to get the
news out there?
We wasn't giving spin on the election.
The president wasn't trying to read.
They're just the greatest gift that the outlets gave Trump was to not cover his stupid fucking
speech, which by the way, perfectly fair, perfectly fair, perfectly valid for major
news outlets not to carry this ridiculous fucking speech and then instead discuss how
many lies he repeated on it.
But it also is like a win-win, I guess it's a win for some of the major outlets like keeping
their integrity or what remains of it. And it's a major victory for the Republicans because
now they have some of the bitch about. Okay. Now they have some of the bitch about. It's
their favorite thing. Oh my God, you guys are being so unfair. Why wouldn't you let the
president lie to everyone on prime time television? Especially lie in a way that many people have
been successfully criminally prosecuted over, whether it be doing January 6th, whether it
be, well, criminally prosecuted and then released when Donald Trump became president again,
unfortunately.
And for Fox News, for example, there's almost a billion dollar penalty sitting on the other
side of that.
Last time they carried Donald Trump's speech and didn't address some of the nonsense that
Trump was actually entertaining and even leaned into some of that nonsense. So obviously for Fox News
They don't want to risk it again, right?
But now they get to complain they get to complain about how the the media has undermined
Our big beautiful president by not allowing him to fucking lie on television
It's not like they're carrying, it's not like they're not carrying it at all, mind you.
They did.
They just, you know, chopped it up and made it easier to address, especially because he
was lying.
He litigated what happened in 2020, although he definitely could at this point.
The president was giving facts.
What we have exposed, what the Biden administration covered up, what the intelligence community
held from the American people, Congress, and the executive branch, and we're putting it
out there.
And yet, two major networks didn't want to cover it?
I think the question really should say why.
Because they sure covered the other part of it when they were saying that it was the most
secure election ever.
What facts did they have?
Because they didn't have facts.
They were taking someone's word for it.
President Trump gave facts.
Today we're giving facts.
Yeah, one of my favorite moments from last night's events was watching Fox News right
after the speech.
Now, Sean Hannity loves Donald Trump.
You guys know this.
He's the number one brown-noser.
And Sean Hannity came on live right after Trump's riveting speech about how the American
elections were stolen about how China had participated in this election fraud and about
how China had made everybody hate the big beautiful president.
Sean Hannity complained about CNN not running the speech and maybe gave like one statement
after and immediately moved on.
That's how you know, that's how you know even the Republicans were not really trying to
entertain this stuff. If you got Sean Hannity not covering this stuff extensively, if you
got Sean Hannity not going deep into all the claims that Donald Trump made last night,
obviously, obviously even the Republican media apparatus is not very confident in the information
that Trump was delivering. And of course, they're not confident because it's ridiculous.
In order to avoid a potential Dominion lawsuit, Fox News even came out and literally openly
stated after Trump's claims that Fox could not independently verify the statements Trump
was making about the elections. They straight up added that, you know, content warning.
Makes you think. Trump is running out of allies. Trump has a lot of enemies, for good reason.
But he's certainly running out of allies.
He's at the end of his rope.
His movement is dying.
The MAGA movement is now propped up by some of the most insane people.
And when I say insane, I know it's a term I use a lot, but I mean like literally mentally
ill, mal-adjusted, genuinely unwell, physically unhealthy people. It's the core of this movement.
It's the evangelical Christians that are chock-full of white supremacist values. And
even those guys are experiencing the economic shock of Trump's ridiculous militarism in
the Strait of Hormuz and even those guys are beginning to recognize that maybe Donald
Trump is not fixing the prices in the way that he claimed he would.
Better yet, maybe some of them are even getting frustrated because all he talks about is like
transgender and liberals and all this stuff.
Meanwhile, he said he was going to end these wars and he never did and he's starting new
wars and now those wars are starting to be impactful, starting to impact their bottom
line, hurting their wallets.
I predict a lot of people, especially on the Republican side, are going to sit out this
upcoming midterm.
They're not going to go out and vote because there's nothing to vote for.
Trump is not on the ballot.
And there's not much to look forward to, and even the comfortable ones are not gonna vote,
because usually the comfortable ones, well, they don't have any reason to go out and vote.
Trump is not on the ballot again.
He has become far too narcissistic for the average person to follow and to show any loyalty
your sympathy towards the last people that remain the last holdouts are going
to be the most insane the most zealot folks out there but it's cooked his
movement is dying make claims that electronic voting machines are vulnerable
and easily compromised Fox News has not seen that evidence yet is not in a
position to evaluate the accuracy of the president's statements and claims at
this time. Here's the problem. If you consolidate power around a narcissistic, petty, despotic
tyrant like Donald Trump, he's not going to use his lame duck period, which he's in now
to set up a comfortable future for the movement. He's going to use the consolidated power that
that he has on dumb shit like this, a messaging operation to try to make himself feel better,
to prosecute his enemies if he has any motion, any clout that remains.
He's not doing this to prop up a better future for the Republican Party because he's not
a movement man.
Trump has made it very clear from the start.
There's only one guy he cares about, that's Donald Trump.
He'll enrich his friends, his fail son, his fail sons, his immediate business partners
that he has like a unique relationship with now, whether they be Silicon Valley, techno
feudalists or the oil and gas industry.
But even then, he'll burn him on a moment's notice.
This guy burns his ally.
So what makes you think that he is going to care about a broader Republican movement?
He does not.
He doesn't.
He is the movement.
And the Republicans hitched their wagon to this fucking petty tyrant, like a bunch of
morons.
And these are the results.
But of course, remember, a petty tyrant on his way out can still do a lot of damage,
and he is trying to do that right now, so don't feel comfortable.
It's important to understand that their incompetence is an advantage for us, but even an incompetent
tyrant can still do a tremendous amount of damage, right?
One of the things that Donald Trump and his administration has done so far is the chaos
that unfolded in the Strait of Hormuz that's continuing.
The strikes are continuing.
And then the American, the US central command has expanded on the targeting on sites.
They're hitting bridges now.
They're hitting civilian infrastructure now.
People are suspecting that the American military is making a move on the Iranian coastline
potentially with boots on the ground, there could be an invasion. I don't know
how much evidence there is for that. I know that it would be a chaotic situation.
It would be devastating and it would be objectively unpopular, especially
because it's not going to be an easy military operation to conduct. A lot of
US casualties, that's what we're looking at. Sending young American men and
women into the meat grinder to turn into dust under tens of thousands of Iranian flying
lawnmowers with explosive ordnance attached.
Iran in retaliation has started hitting more targets in places like Bahrain and in Kuwait
and also Qatar.
Here the United States struck the Iranian bridges.
While coming under fire in Kuwait today, Iran struck a power and desalination plant near
prompting urgent public warnings from the government.
Those warnings were to conserve water and electricity even as temperatures saw into
the mid-40s on the Celsius scale.
Iran also says it targeted U.S. assets in Oman, Jordan and elsewhere, and it is threatening
the ports of its Gulf neighbors.
This all coming after an escalation in US attacks,
including strikes on bridges in the south of Iran
in what was a sixth straight night of bombing.
CNN's Nick Robinson joining us today from Jerusalem.
And Nick, 30 days after the very what
felt like historic signing of that MOU,
It does seem as if things have escalated in a way that makes it feel very uncomfortable in region.
What do you make of these developments and where we are at?
I think obviously we're on an escalatory military cycle.
I think that because neither side has said we're outrightly scrapping the MOU,
The MOU sort of remains marginalized completely
on the sidelines of these military operations,
but it's still a document that's intact.
And one can possibly see a time where either side
can recommend going back to that,
having decided that through the military means
at the moment, they're not getting where they want to.
So I think on the diplomatic front,
that document, although it's no use to anyone at the moment,
can be, again, useful in the future,
because it is the blueprint for the way out of the current situation.
But if you just look at the range of these strikes that are going on, and break it down
very, very simply here, both sides have a reason for hitting the targets that they hit.
Iran says it hits U.S. military bases and assets in the region clearly last night.
It hit a civilian facility in Kuwait that is a huge vulnerability for all Gulf countries,
desalination and power plants that go with them, that provide the AC, that provide the
clean water that people drink.
For most of the Gulf countries, these are absolutely essential and indispensable.
They're a massive pressure point.
So Iran's ratcheted it up to that level.
If you look at what the United States is doing and understand how militaries work, they won't
just be throwing their munitions around, we'll put some here, we'll put some there.
be thinking of what are we planning on doing next week? Where do we think we might be in a
weeks time or two weeks time? So we'll have operations that shape us towards that. Number one,
making sure that the Strait of Homoes is going to be safe for the travel of vessels,
which means taking out infrastructure port facilities along the Strait of Homoes. But
it's going beyond that. It's trying to get to the infrastructure that links those areas around
on the street of Homo's particularly bad.
America hits the military first.
Yes, America is taking Iran up the escalation ladder.
I see a lot of people in the chat asking,
like, why aren't they striking Israel?
Why aren't they striking Israel?
OK, that's part of the reason why they're not striking Israel.
They are.
They're only going tit for tat.
America hits military installations and radar
facilities.
they strike back at
radar facilities in military installations in the gulf
if israel were to join back
uh... on the conflict
if israel were to get involved in these rounds of strikes they would start
hitting israel as well
so they're holding on
to all of their cars that are trying to blow their load
i think it's a fairly smart and fairly reliable to uh... tactic
and he's a fairly smart and fairly reliable tactic they're only hitting
countries that are actually uh... using high mars and and using their
uh... using their their
american military bases to hit
give me a load okay
i gotta stop using terms like this
huh
they are
they're only going up the escalation ladder if america increases the intensity of america
uh... expands on the the strike targets and starts hitting civilians uh... civilian
territory than they had uh... they respond in kind
is remember
while iran is winning this
as far as uh... we can see an observe
that doesn't change the reality that like iran
could not
militarily withstand the united states of america
if the united states of america
was was far removed
and was not financially involved with these golf states
iran can only hit
whatever it can hit within its reach
so obviously
the the proximity to iran makes it a lot more difficult for for iran to hit
israel
and virtually impossible for iran to hit the united states of america
So that's the reason why they're hitting the Gulf States, because the Gulf States are allowing American munitions to be launched from their territories, so Iran is responding in kind.
Max Vischer, China quietly saved the world last month.
What is happening? The John old Harris team is going nutty mode. Maybe they're no longer CIA. I
Covered this yesterday
But yes
China
China saved Israel's as Pasta Knox tweet is making it look very bad my dude given the boss call
I already did. I thought he fucking deleted it. I don't know why he does stuff like that from time to time. Okay
Well, I don't know what he actually, I actually don't even know what you're referencing to
be honest.
It could be any number of different fucking tweets, Austin, our tweets, um, all of my
stream, you think it's because USA cuts?
You think it's because USA cuts came in USA defunded.
So John old was like, I got to find a new source of revenue.
No, I'm just kidding.
I guess it's because, you know, the CIA is China, the deep state, according to Donald
Trump.
So maybe that's what's going on.
That's what's up.
Right from Kharg Island, which, again, has been floated in the deep past as a possible
target.
That's where we seem to be.
Yeah, and Tehran issuing threats over the Gulf's oil lifeline at this point.
It does seem as if it is so widening its target list.
Syria, Iraq, Jordan.
We already know that it's targeted Qatta, Kuwait, Bahrain, of course, and Oman.
But I wonder what the message is here, do you think, from Iran, in widening that lens,
widening the scope of these targets outside of the Gulf?
Yeah, it's what's often called the escalatory ladder, isn't it?
You know, you target just a couple of Gulf countries in the beginning.
It's been Kuwait, it was Bahrain.
Now it's up to a former U.S.-based al-Tanf inside of Syria that hadn't been struck before.
been struck before. It's interesting that Saudi Arabia hasn't been struck so far in
this round, and Saudi Arabia normally considers itself at the top of that estuary ladder.
But Iran is threatening to hit ports in the region, threatening the sort of highest value,
most prized asset that's mostly been outside of the war in Saudi Arabia, Yambou port, where
the oil exports go through, where exports to the Red Sea and imports, frankly, as well,
into the country, come into the region, as well as Jabal Ali, a principle port in the
Emirates where you are, that would be a huge blow for the Emirates if Iran was to continue
to go after that Hamad port in Qatar, just a number of ports in the region.
And I think if we think back to those days at the beginning of April, just before the
ceasefire came into play, I think it was the eighth or ninth of April, what Iran did on
the last night of strikes was to strike sort of the deepest and send significant messages
of what it was still capable of.
So it sent the warning then, and now it's saying, you know we can do this, we're putting
it on the table.
So yes, we're in a cycle of escalation.
Let's discuss this and more with CNN's senior military analyst, the former NATO Supreme
Allied Commander, retired Admiral James DeVredes.
Admiral, thanks very much for joining us.
Many of these bridges in Iran that were targeted by the U.S. were on routes connected to the
city of Bandar Abbas, which is home to an Iranian military naval base, as you well know.
What is that signal to you about the U.S. strategy that's unfolding right now?
Two things.
Well, first, it is going to attempt to cut off, to kill the assets that could be used
to close the Strait of Formuz.
I've been to Bonner Abbas before the revolution, obviously.
It's a very important naval port for the Iranians,
and cutting it off has high military utility.
So point one, go after the places where the Iranians
have weapons systems that help them close the strait.
Point two, in general, going after infrastructure,
like bridges, roads, puts economic pressure on Iran.
I think that-
It is kind of funny when the only time these guys recognize infrastructure being struck
as a war crime is if Iran is retaliating to American war crimes.
It's so funny.
They literally, they just straight up will be like, you know, in a brilliant and excellent
move, the United States of America is tactically engaging in what people might consider to
be a war crime potentially but those people are naysayers we like to call it
economic pressure but of course iran's retaliation is war crime of the of the
absolute magnitude what no one has ever seen a war crime so bad but in the same
breath in the same fucking breath they're like yeah you know what if when we
hit those bridges it's awesome it's glorious when they retaliate in kind
well then that's unacceptable very bad someone should put an end to it maybe
Maybe we should blow up more bridges, actually.
We should blow up more Iranian bridges.
Is part of the administration's strategy here to get Iran back to the table in a phrase
what they're doing is escalate in order to de-escalate, meaning go after economic targets,
military targets, put pressure on more attacks with the hope that you can then de-escalate
and the Iranians will come back to the table.
That's the strategy.
And as you know, Iran is now retaliating big time with attacks on various U.S. military
assets across the Gulf region.
The Iranian military claims it targeted a U.S. air base in Qatar and for the first time
a U.S. base in Syria.
It also says it destroyed a long range radar system in several US refueling aircraft.
If all of this is true, Admiral Hutt.
Remind me which organization did Wolf Blitzer work for in the past?
Oh, I don't know why you asked that question.
Is it perhaps, I wonder if you're asking me that question because Wolf Blitzer may have
in the past worked for a little known organization by the name of APAC?
Yeah.
Perhaps that's the reason why you're asking that question.
I don't know.
I mean, I just, I'm looking at a CV.
It's in front of me right now and it says he worked for APAC.
So I guess maybe that's why, you know, I mean, we still love Wolf Blitzer, put some respect
on it.
You know, that's my goat.
But yeah, he was, he was the goat of APAC for the longest time.
Anyway, Marguerite says, the US War of Aggression on Iran is what Nuremberg trials called the
Supreme International Crime Among War Crimes, the US assassination of a head of state common
aid is a great war crime.
These fresh U.S. crimes are never acknowledged as such in U.S. media or among serious people.
Under the law of armed conflict, some power plants and bridges can be lawful military
targets if they provide a concrete military advantage, but threatening to destroy all of
them to force negotiations with likely violated distinction, proportionality and military
necessity.
Wow.
You think?
i i for one of shocked to hear that when donald trump said we're gonna wipe out the iranian
civilization permanently
uh... that was uh...
a threat
that was a direct genocidal threat
a direct genocidal threat issued by the american president who has continuously
taken credit for war crimes that he has committed
and also continued to posture
as though he will commit more war crimes
IRGC claims to destroy U.S. drone depot in Bahrain and main artificial intelligence center in Bahrain claiming it was used by the U.S. to commit war crimes.
Yeah, but when we do it, it's, it's, uh, well, depending on the severity of it, it's either a war oopsie or a war good.
You know, when they do it, it's a war crime, when we do it, it's a war, I don't know, a war law, a war legal thing that people do during war.
Or if it's a really bad one, it's a war oopsie, like the Minop School is now in the bracket, it went from good thing to, yeah, it went from war crime to war fine,
and then it turned into a war oopsie.
That's the most you're gonna get.
Anyway, a war oof, a war goof and a war oof.
What does this impact the U.S. military's abilities
in the region?
So far, we have sufficient combat power in order to overcome the level of strikes you're
seeing from Iran.
And let's be honest here about the numbers.
The U.S. is launching dozens and dozens of strikes a day at this point, far less than
during the initial wave, but 100, 200 strikes a day.
Iran is responding with 10, maybe 15 strikes.
So over time, that's going to-
I personally love CNN, always showing our health care, lighting on fire.
I like that.
At least we know where the money is going.
You know what I mean?
Cause you might be thinking like, I'll pay so much in taxes.
Where, where does it go?
Well, you're watching it light on fire.
Okay.
It's fantastic.
That's your public schools.
That's your roads.
That's your health care.
Cause obviously money is not infinite.
It's got to go somewhere, and it's clear that this is what we keep putting the money into.
There it is. Up in smoke, that's clean water in Flint, Michigan. That's the potholes on your roads.
That's the unreliable infrastructure. That's the unhardened infrastructure when, you know,
Anthropogenic climate change kicks in and you have increasingly worse tornadoes, hurricanes,
and the like, flooding. That's your retirement, lighting on fire. That's your lack of internet.
When you're thinking to yourself, I live in a First World Nation, as I thought I lived in.
And yet, I don't have reliable public transit. I don't have decent infrastructure. I don't have
have decent internet. Where did it go? That's where it is. It's awesome.
In favor of the US military capacity to continue these strikes. However, it does show the Iranians
are increasing their ability to go after their neighbors. That ought to concern us because
if they start going after gulf oil and gas infrastructure that'll have big
economic downside for the western economies as well
yes or further going after u.s military sites in these friendly arab gulf
nations like the united arab emirates
uh... cutter kuey
uh... all my elsewhere yes sometimes you can actually watch it
uh... blow a load in real time the ua
m o d claim that they respond to an accidental fire at a warehouse inside
military city turns out there were three warehouses and they look more likely to have been struck
by missiles or drones. There's the CRAM footage. If you want to watch that too, here it is.
Another drone attack has hit the US base in Addabit. The CRAM system failed to intercept
the likely Shahad 136. That's fucking crazy. Dude, these people have to live like this,
And that's crazy. Imagine you just had a fucking wedding.
You're at a wedding in Abil and all of a sudden this sky lights up. You hear
you hear you hear a Chuck Schumer style fart in the distance.
The type of fart that you've only heard from Chuck Schumer when he's,
you know, on the podium and the floor of the Senate,
you look up at the sky, it looks like fireworks. It's not, it's CRAM.
That's American tax dollars.
being lit on fire, failing to intercept.
I feel like a CRAM should be able to hit a drone like, what are we this cooked? I mean,
we have watched many CRAM failures in the last 140 days. Yeah, $27 a bullet,
that that that little fireworks show that you watched is you know a couple grand
serum is dog shit here's the problem most of these defenses are dog shit
because defenses is mostly just a hope and a dream anti-air defense is hoping
dream for the most part. It's quite difficult. It's actually a fairly impressive feat that the
Iron Dome system is so successful at intercepting rocket-propelled grenades and small missiles
and things of that nature. It's just difficult. It's difficult to intercept these things,
especially when Iran knows the technology that's readily available and has designed around it.
it. Because the, the, the nuclear proliferation doesn't stop with just like, you know, building
a robust arsenal of nuclear weapons, right? You're a scumbag that belongs in jail. Lemau
young Turks are named after a terrorist group. I'm pretty sure a man will remove this before
he seizes, but I hope he sees it. Wait, why am I, I'm a scumbag that belongs in jail because
of what, the young Turks? I don't even work there anymore. Is that what we're doing now?
We're just like, shouldn't you be at least a little bit in favor of free speech? I thought
this is what the right wanted. The right is pivoted away from, oh, we love defending free
speech to like, you know why? No, I don't. That's why I asked you. Why do I, why am I
come back to belongs in jail. Please enlighten us.
Is this still Epstein's Fury? Well, not really. This is, you know, this post-MOU,
so I don't know if they're gonna come up with a new and cool name or if they're just rehashing
Epic Fury. Woke Magga, folks.
I like that we also are talking about, you know, bipartisan consensus around lighting
this guy's tax dollars on fire.
And I'm in the process of explaining to him that like, this is why you don't have a reliable
infrastructure.
the rural hospitals are closing in your neighborhood, you know what I mean and
God forbid you or a loved one has like a medical incident
They have to literally send in a helicopter to probably fly you
You know hundred miles away and and he's like no, I hate you man
I fucking hate you like you we could find an area of agreement here, right?
Like this is supposed to be an area of agreement
I thought we all agreed that it's just totally unnecessary to waste billions of dollars every
day on senseless war that only hurts you, whether you live in Europe or America.
I assume you probably live in Europe, but I mean, you're still cooked, right?
You're cooked because this fucks your gas prices, right?
This makes your life harder.
And he didn't have a say in it at all and neither did I neither did any of us.
That's kind of the point.
And it's strange that instead of like identifying that issue and recognizing how it harms him
personally, he's like, no, I'm going to fucking shoot the message or I hate this guy.
And I asked what is the problem?
And he said, you know why?
And that's it.
No response.
Very strange.
We're in the region.
These are all very close friends, allies of the United States.
The U.S. has major bases in the United Arab Emirates and in Qatar at Camp Asalia, the Yellow
Dade air base.
I've been to those facilities.
They're really home to much of the U.S. military central command in that region, and the Iranians
are keep attacking those U.S. sites.
This is very significant, isn't it?
It is indeed.
And I want to draw a line under one other kind of troubling item that's surfacing.
And that is Iran starting to talk about closing, not the Strait of Hormuz, which they've effectively
done, but closing what is called the Bob Elmandeb.
It's at the very bottom of the map you're showing at the bottom of the Arabian Peninsula,
the bottom of the Red Sea.
You've got the Houthis there who have capability to attack commercial shipping.
If you close that choke point, that closes effectively the Suez Canal, right under the
word Israel on your map.
That is a major global choke point, just like the Strait of Formos.
If the Iranian...
Iran claims US soldiers captured or dead, Senkham denies it.
Yeah, I don't believe that unless we see it.
No US troops in the region recently killed or captured, says Senkham.
Those militaries denied Iran's claims of killing U.S. soldiers in Syria according to a Sankham
post on X, Iran said it killed U.S. troops stationed at a base in Al-Taf.
You're always pointing fingers and when you point one, three point back, do I think the
government spends our money properly?
No.
But you call for violence among other people.
I never said shoot the messenger.
I never call for violence against you.
But yeah, you are about to get linked up for going to Cuba on a humanitarian defense against
communism.
And I try to respond where your chatter just lit me up.
wait I always point fingers yeah I point fingers at the the super powerful and
super wealthy institutions organizations and and you know corporations
that dominate society that have designed the society in an unjustifiable way in
a way that is so unjustifiable that even you recognize that it's like totally
fucked up that's it and then those guys turn around and tune up people like
yourself into believing that I'm actually your enemy. I'm not! Dude, you are the
super wealthy socialist? Yes, brother. I am the the wealthiest person in the
country. You're right. You're a hypocrite. Brother, number one, even if I was this
like immensely powerful and wealthy person that you think I am, okay, that
still wouldn't change what I'm talking about, would it? Like, let's say I was a
like a billionaire, right? And I as a billionaire for some weird reason spent
every waking moment talking about how how's your multiple houses doing. I don't
have multiple how I have one house for myself and my family. Again, don't you
feel like if you have to make up all of these different things to get mad about,
wouldn't it be just wouldn't it be far easier to either not pay attention at all
or to actually suck it up for a brief moment, pay attention to what I'm saying,
and then recognize that we probably agree on a lot more than you think we do. Okay?
That's the question.
That's the question. Because I didn't make you broke. I didn't make you angry.
Someone told you you should be angry at me instead of the people that I'm pointing to finger of blame at and
Oftentimes the people that I'm pointing the finger of blame at are very powerful individuals Elon Musk and the like
Okay, they run the show they run the society
and
They don't like it when they're acknowledged for their contributions to the pain that you experience on a daily basis
So they very easily turn around and boost the algorithm in a way to be like, you know, who's actually the real person
That is responsible for all the pain you're going through some random fucking twitch streamer
He's the wealthiest and most powerful person. He's a super wealthy socialist and a hypocrite
Unless they're on Joe Rogan, which I bet $20 his dude loves yeah Joe Rogan who is
A thousand times wealthier than I am constantly will you know turn on his podcast and and talk about how all these like
Pedophilic billionaires are dope. He has them on a show
What I will concede we do probably agree on a lot, but you've been doing this for a long time
You are part of the society, but dude you are a hypocrite
No, brother. I'm not
And if you, if you scratch the surface of your commentary that you've been conditioned into believing, you would recognize that that's not the case. Okay. It's okay.
Ask yourself why if you agree with me.
What has primed you into thinking that I'm your enemy?
Now ask yourself, the other people that have primed you into getting angry at me, do you agree with them?
You just posted a clip saying you joined the Jerry camp again because he says something you agree with against fans.
Yes, that's called a joke, my man.
That's called a joke. I'm capable of doing those.
I promise you, the people that you have been conditioned into hating are capable of laughter,
they're capable of joy, they're capable of cracking fucking jokes, they're capable of being sarcastic.
Not everything that I say is 100% serious, okay?
I know that my tone doesn't change too much between sarcasm and serious commentary, so it takes a little bit of getting used to
But another way that a lot of people prime
Individuals like yourself in the thinking that I'm your fucking enemy
Even though you literally probably agree with me on 99% of issues
Okay, is by doing that
by claiming that I'm actually incapable of nuance, incapable of hyperbole,
incapable of the utilization of a metaphor, incapable of fucking crafting
jokes every now and then, being sarcastic, you know. That's what this is. You're being
duped. It's okay. You can continue hating me. That's fine. You know, it's not the
end of the world there are plenty of people who do but when you come in here
and you listen all I ask for you is to just take a deep breath and listen to
what I have to say and make up your own mind you're an independent thinker I
believe in you okay I believe in you I believe in your capability of thinking
independently someone primed you into thinking that I'm your fucking enemy just
stick around listen to what I have to say don't pay attention to the chat and
And make up your own mind plenty of people in this community have come in here just like you
With this idea that I'm like this horrible person this monster
I'm constantly agitating for violence and then they listen in day in day out and they begin to realize that maybe they were wrong
Maybe they were told that I was something that I represented something that I actually do not
Okay, don't be a sheep. Be an independent thinker. I know. I know you can
This can push
The Houthis into doing that you've opened a new front of Western Front if you will in this war
So that is one to watch and one to be concerned about in the weeks ahead
In his address his prime time televised address last night
The president said one sentence one sentence and it was a total of about seven seconds
we checked, related to the war with Iran in his nearly 27-minute speech overall.
When he first announced he was going to give him a televised address, I thought it would
be on the war with Iran, but it wasn't.
It was on election, so-called election interference.
Was that in your view a missed opportunity for President Trump?
It was.
And the numbers are very clear on this.
This war is unpopular across the entire political spectrum.
Trump's own popularity overall is as low as it's been throughout his two terms of the
presidency. And I think Americans just don't have a sense of what's the exit strategy,
what's the end game here. And when you start getting those questions from the public, that's
the time to do that nationally televised address and reassure people and tell them you have
a plan and tell them what the next step is. That's I'm with you. That's what I was hoping
to hear what I mean when these guys are even being subtly critical, slightly critical about
what Trump is doing, which by the way is is only in the interest of one country, one country
only Israel, right? Europe doesn't like this. Europe wants to cease fire. The Gulf nations
don't want this. They want to cease fire. They don't want their critical infrastructure
at risk of being bombed by Iran. Iran doesn't want this. Well, Iran might want to continue
it to be fair, so that they can actually force their position of leverage. Because they are,
as long as this war continues, obviously, they're punishing Donald Trump. Bro, EU still blames Iran?
No, that's EU leadership. Okay, it doesn't matter. EU leadership saying, oh, this is still Iran's
fault. Iran, please just eat the missiles and shut the fuck up. It's not actually a convincing
message for the average person. Okay? The European Union is a consortium of vassalized states.
Their leadership are not going to speak out against the United States of America. They're not
going to speak out against Israel. But that doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things,
because Europeans living in Europe, in the European continent, in the countries,
countries, they have independently arrived at the correct conclusion that this is happening
because America is forcing Iran's hand.
And also, there's tremendous volatility regardless of who's to blame, right?
Tremendous volatility when you don't have access to diesel, when diesel prices have skyrocketed.
That means commerce is going to, that means inflation is going to happen.
That is diesel is necessary for logistics.
Those trucks that carry your food into your grocery stores, they rely on diesel.
They rely on diesel prices maintaining some level of stability.
If it's no longer stable, if the prices are going up because there's not enough, there's
still the same level of demand, but not enough supply.
Of course, diesel prices are going to skyrocket.
can't run their tractors. Logistics companies can't fuel their trucks. There's not enough
fertilizer to go around for agricultural output.
Caught a snippet of a televised presidential address. It's about elections. Those are important,
But I think that public would at this point like to hear what's the next move in the Middle
East.
Yeah, in the seven seconds on the war in Iran, he basically said the US is winning.
That was about it.
All right, Admiral James Stavridis, thank you so much for joining us as usual.
Who's Andy Burnham, the man who went from Manchester's mayor to the UK's next prime
minister?
All right.
to that, let's cover, let's cover some, you know, more situation monitoring related events
and incidents, specifically, specifically monitoring the situation. I guess, should we
even look at this? I mean, I basically covered this like China has the largest oil reserves
known the largest strategic oil reserves in the world, and they cut down their imports
by a third in order to maintain low prices so that all the readily available oil in the
marketplace could go to other countries and that they would not have to pay so much money.
I guess that's the video, right?
I know AI.
That's, that's the whole video I suspect. Yeah, China is propping up the world economy
by importing a lot less oil. When this article first came out on June 10th by the Wall Street
Journal, this was considered a very controversial one. A lot of people got mad and they said,
how dare you? The only reason why China is importing, they're cutting their imports by
a third is because they simply can't get it because the shred is closed. But the reality
is there was still oil that was, you know, that, that was being shipped out to other
countries and the reason for why is because China was no longer purchasing that oil. That's what
happens. They stabilized prices for the rest of the world and actually gave Trump a good deal
of time as well in the process. Now, this also gives China tremendous leverage over the oil
markets because if they were to increase their imports once again, I mean, this would be a
tremendous pressure point. A tremendous pressure point that they could apply by
being like, look, we got to refill our strategic petroleum reserves, we're
buying the oil again, and they have tremendous purchasing power as opposed
to all these other countries, all of a sudden those other countries are going
to be competing for a lot less oil, and in that competition they're going to have
to chase the highest prices possible, and the cost of Brent Crude is
going to skyrocket far beyond the levels that it already has.
Everybody's fighting smart except the U.S. Yeah.
Two factors.
Sina, too, says two factors help cushion the economic fallout since Trump's February
attack on Iran and the Hormuz disruption, strategic oil reserves, and weaker Chinese
oil demand.
Both are now moving in the wrong direction for Trump, with Chinese imports just reportedly
beginning to recover. Yeah, the moment that China says, I've had enough, the moment that
China says, I've had enough or decides we need more oil, we need to, we care about our
national security, we care about our national interests, we have to refill our strategic
petroleum reserves, sorry, rest of the world, it's fucked. All of a sudden, prices are going
a skyrocket.
I don't know what the Iranian internal dynamics that this person is talking about are, but
there is this that I wanted to get two more those are who saying reports, the golf bases
are being hit harder in this round because the previous campaign failed to destroy the
Iranian missile cities and also relied on a division of labor between the U.S. and Israeli
air forces to suppress launcher fire, which meant smaller salvos. Similarly, in the 12-day war,
missile attacks from Iran towards Israel took place in larger salvos because U.S. aircraft were
not involved in suppressing launch sites. Disabling bases closer to Iran and forcing
operations to be carried out for more distant locations or carriers would also further reduce
the sortie rate and the intensity of the current campaign. So if you're wondering why Iran is just
like cratering bases and stuff, and you feel like it's an unnecessary thing that they're
engaging in, is because the longer it takes and the more risky it is for these Americans,
for the U.S. Air Force to potentially fly over near Iran or on top of Iranian missile
sites, the harder it is and the more risk it carries.
And that's the reason why Iran keeps dumping drones onto these strato-tankers, or even
an F-35, as we saw one squawking just yesterday.
That's it.
The Iranian Navy released its first ever official strike footage on a commercial ship, showing
a drone attack on a Thai flagged oil tanker in the Shidahormuz after it allegedly ignored
warnings in transit without Iranian authorization, according to Tasnim.
It comes as Shredi Hormuz traffic continues to collapse.
On the 16th of July, just eight confirmed vessels cross the Strait a three-week low.
Most use the Iranian route while none transit via the Omani route according to Marine traffic.
Brent Crude has now risen above $88 a barrel.
So,
Type pro us no none of these none of these
None of the the flags are relevant, okay the flag of the ship is totally irrelevant. It's
They're they're carrying oil
The country that it's going to is more relevant and the logistics company that it is
Actually a part of is more relevant than than anything else
Anyway, here's Shrida Parsey talking to Katie Halper.
Let's take a look.
You had a recent article.
You published it on Monday on Responsible Statecraft.
And you write, for all practical purposes, the U.S.-Iran memorandum of misunderstanding
is over.
The dispute over how to manage the Strait of Hormuz in the interim has pushed the two
sides back into open war, but to what end? So can you expand on this?
Yes, I look. I mean, they're targeting each other, perhaps not at the exact same level as we saw
during the war. I've not seen the U.S. strike at Tehran, for instance. But nevertheless,
this is certainly not a ceasefire. Trump is speaking as if he wants to go on with this for weeks.
He's talking about the other side in a manner as if it's not worthy to make a deal with
them.
The Iranians are shooting at ships.
Trump is reimposing the blockade.
The U.S. withdrew the general license that allowed Iranians to sell oil.
So for all practice purposes, all the things that this was supposed to, this memorandum
was supposed to put in place were more or less gone at this point.
But I'm not seeing what will be achieved militarily within a reasonable timeframe that would change
the fundamentals of the situation so that if we go back to the table, it would break
the deadlock and the US would be able to get its way at the negotiating.
I just don't see it.
In fact, when you take a look at the starting point of this, the US is in a worse position
in many different ways.
Not that it's weak, not that it's not stronger than Iran, not that it's economy or industrial
base is not much larger. But at the end of the day, if the Iranians close the Strait,
which they now have done, all prices are going to go up again. And last time, the world had
actually very high inventory of oil. The U.S.'s strategic petroleum reserve was essentially
full. Now it's been, to this large extent, depleted. And during the MOU, only 5% of global
And that's precisely the reason why post-MOU America is actually coming at this war from a much weaker position
Because they don't even have a cushion
they have nothing to rely on and
Every day that every day this war continues every day that oil tanks don't transit through the shirt of hormones is
Another day where America is burning its strategic supply
And it's nearing critical levels. It's getting closer and closer to critical levels every
single day. Now, of course, as we've talked about already, America could just stop exports
at some point, which would destroy the global markets. Okay. If the United States stopped
exports to, to what do you call it? My phone died. So you're against war with Iraq or Afghanistan
I agree with that. So are you for with Syria or Yemen or Shin Hillary assassinated Gaddafi?
Is this why you're a hypocrite? I do I do think we could agree on a lot you jump to
Call me the woke left, but you have made these arguments in the past. Wait, what?
Brother, I'm gonna keep it above 50 with you
I think you don't know what my position is at all because you just described a bunch of things that I don't agree with
Are you for
So, are you for with Syria or Yemen or Shin, Hillary assassinated, Guaddafi?
What?
No, I wasn't in favor of any of the American interventions in the region.
I'm always against those American interventions.
You think I like Hillary Clinton?
What the hell?
I think Hillary Clinton should be in prison.
The city of inventory was restocked.
So we're not talking about a situation
in which during that month,
the restocking became so significant
that Trump could comfortably go to work and no.
So once all prices start to go up again,
the one way that the US will have economically
before that crisis, the economic crisis becomes acute,
is much, much shorter.
Add to that that we're only four,
two months away from the midterm elections,
which is, whereas we were 10 months away from it.
Why do all your haters know nothing about you?
Because they don't actually listen.
They come in here to just be like,
you're a fucking piece of shit who needs to go to prison.
And that's it.
The only the only interaction they have with my commentary is
From a network of people who have made it their lives mission to just lie about what my positions are professional misunderstanders
They just watch clips
They watch clips they don't even pay attention to what I'm actually saying and they have no charitability
Because why should they have any charitability to me? I'm just a random fucking rich socialist hypocritical asshole from their perspective
And then that's it
But if they were to actually sit here and listen to what I have to say to be like, okay, what the fuck
I don't know why I hated this guy
Okay, then maybe I don't understand your positions did you campaign for Hillary against Trump?
I do listen. I'm listening now. So clarify your position for me. Yes. I hate Hillary Rodham Clinton and yet I was I
Understandably said that Hillary Rodham Clinton would be far better
than Donald Trump, which I stand by. It's a position that I stand by. Donald Trump in
the first term did a bunch of horrible things. Hillary Clinton would be horrible too, but
at least, you know, less horrible than Donald Trump, I guess. But I did not campaign for
Hillary Clinton. I was, I just, you know, endorsed Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump.
It's also a 2026. I can't believe you're still bringing up 2016.
When the war started last time, you realize that Trump, if he thinks there's a
military solution, he needs to achieve it in the next two weeks. And I just don't see
any way that there's any type of a military strategy that he has.
Like for example, if you're if you're confused as to why this Iran stuff is happening right now,
you can directly blame Trump won for it. Because what did Donald Trump do?
Donald Trump was always Israel's most loyal servant. Okay. Even during Trump one, he was
Israel's most loyal servant. He was far more pro Israel than Barack Obama ever was. He was far more
pro-Israel than most likely how Hillary Clinton would operate as a big if, but you know it's
there's not there's never been a president like Donald Trump with the exception of Joe Biden I guess
that loves Israel okay. Donald Trump came into power ripped apart the JCPOA okay and instead
of like continuing to further normalize relations with Iran ripped apart the JCPOA implemented the
Abraham Accords, which is directly a direct through line to October 7, okay, and recognize the
permanently annexed territory of Golan Heights that Israel had seized illegally from Syria,
and totally wrote out the Palestinians from the conversation, which is part of the reason why
October 7 happened. He was horrible. I mean, he killed customs to the money. He
assassinated the customs to the money. That was a huge deal as well at the time.
Like, he did a whole... he was a warmonger. Moved the embassy to Jerusalem.
That was a huge deal as well. Blow after blow after blow to any
confidence people might have in negotiating with the United States
America or Israel. It emboldened Israel tremendously. He did that. That was just Trump won.
Biden's biggest issue was that he continued with Donald Trump's foreign policy agenda instead of
reversing some of these dangerous decisions. And then Trump too came around and well here are the
results. Donald Trump greatly escalated, got goaded into striking Iran and decapitating its leadership.
Committed a litany of war crimes, basically backed Iran to a corner that they had to fight
out of.
And it turns out they did have more smoke than we gave them credit.
Backed Iran into a corner, and Iran had to close the Shred of Hormuz.
For 47 years, Iran had not closed the Shred of Hormuz.
Donald Trump reversed that overnight.
launching Operation Epic Fury. So if you're wondering how we're currently
staring on the barrel of an energy crisis, the global level, Donald Trump did that.
Long sequence of mistakes. Giving Israel no accountability whatsoever, allowing
them to do whatever the fuck they want over and over and over again from Trump
won the Trump too. And these are the results. So yes, while I think Hillary
Rodham Clinton is a warmonger of epic reportions and is the butcher of Libya.
At the end of the day, she probably would have been a little bit more restrained than
Donald Trump.
2026 is like me bringing up next Tuesday, yeah Obama ran a drone war against the Middle
East and still didn't bomb Iran.
I get this terrible by him.
Honestly, I think Trump's second term is not good at all.
I think his first term was bad, too.
So why take a political stance at all? Personally, I think all of our politics are corrupt by war mongers' eyes. Do we agree on that?
I mean, I think that people who have unlimited fealty to the nation-state of Israel and its greater Israel project of varying degrees are in positions of great power.
And Israel does have an outsized influence on American politics. Yes.
dog, you called me a terrorist. Why do you think people call me a terrorist? It's because
of the, I guess, agreement that we have over the outside influence that Israel has on American
foreign policy and even the influence that Israel has over domestic policy. You're repeating
positions that you heard from others who fucking hate me for a position that you and
I agree on. This happens way more frequently than you would think by the way. There are
so many people out there who literally are just like, yo, fuck Israel. I can't believe
Israel is like go to this end of Waging War in the Middle East. This is fucking unbelievable,
blah, blah, blah, all this shit. And then they will without a shred of irony without
even recognizing what they're doing will turn around and be like, you're a fucking terrorist
piece of shit.
Where do you think that commentary comes from? It comes from other people, either willingly
or without realizing what they're doing, channeling the Zionist-Hosbara machine, internalizing
it. It's that package with Islamophobia. That's where it comes from.
As the war has come up with, that actually would achieve that. In fact, when we look
Look at what's happening.
It seems like he's just angry and he's telling this military, I want to see constant reports
that you're bombing something in Iran.
But just blindly bombing stuff, even if you destroy a lot of stuff, does not in any way
shape or form amount to a strategic victory.
That is the key lesson that should have been learned at least by the previous war.
And one of the big differences, of course, now is with the hindsight that didn't exist
back in February, it should have taken into account that hindsight and come to a different
decision than what we what he made.
So why isn't this being incorporated this hindsight?
I have no idea as to why I have a guess. And I guess is that Trump is looking for a constant
flow and assembly line of good news and progress in diplomacy. And if it doesn't get it, he
grows tired, he gets frustrated, he gets criticized by his hawkish base by the pro-Israel
crowd, and he loses his patience, and he says, screw this, let's go back to war. He just
doesn't want 80. And after a while, he will get tired of war because that's not going
to give him any benefits either. And then he's going to try to go back to the negotiating
table.
Right.
My fear for him, though, is that next time he wants to go to the negotiating table, I'm
not so sure the Iranians will come. They will drag, or even if they show up, they're
going to drag it out even further. And I would suspect that they would not agree to a deal
or perhaps even agreed to come to the table until right before or after the midterms in order to
maximize the political damage done to Trump. Very frightening. It reminds me actually of
something that I mean a few years ago now I was interviewing John Meersheimer and I asked him
about why the proxy war was going on so long given that Ukraine was losing and his his point was
that like one of the things he thought I mean obviously there's interest in bleeding Russia etc
but was that people were so cocky about being able to win it and they're so embarrassed by the
fact that they haven't that it's almost like what does it sunk in cost theory or something like they
keep fighting and they're keeping fighting in the hopes that they'll win but it's just dragging it on
and um I mean in some ways backfiring at least in the case of trumpets I think you could say it's
I certainly think so, and I think he has a degree of confidence because his core supporters
and base, the ones that are currently at least the Fox News watching part of his base, now
the Tucker Carlson watching part of his base, are still with him despite all of these different
developments.
But we got to keep in mind, Trump used the strategic petroleum reserve to buffer against
the worst economic consequences of this war.
And he did a lot of different things,
of course, also a lot of oral interventions in the markets
in which he just suddenly said, we're
going to have a deal tomorrow, all of these different things
to manipulate the market.
I don't think that's going to work again, nor does he have any.
You think he's potentially continuing the war
so he can use it to implement martial law,
if things get bad during the elections?
I don't think so.
I think that it's far more consequent.
Like, continuing this war is far more consequential for him.
It makes it less likely
because he doesn't have any popular mandate whatsoever.
He's draining his base.
He's draining his base of whatever kind of support
that he could have.
In order to implement martial law
in a country like the United States of America,
you either need to implement
like a devastating false flag attack,
or you have to have a base of trust.
I'll give you an example.
The Iranian government would have collapsed
in the last round of protests
if they did not have the capacity
to mobilize their popular base of support.
Because the IRGC, regardless of its many critics,
both inside of Iran and outside of Iran,
still has a popular base of support,
the 20 to 30 percent of Iranian society that give it its legitimacy, that give it its power.
Donald Trump, every single day that goes on, is losing his popular base of support, and especially
you've got to also factor in the reality that Americans are not capable of mobilizing in
large numbers like that in any way, shape, or form. It makes it all the less likely
that Donald Trump can can make these these crazy decisions like implementing a
martial law. Enough of the strategic reserve in place in order to be able to
shield it away. And if this thing drags on to the midterms, I think that's where
you know he will really hurt with his own base. Something that he so far has not
seen. So interestingly and kind of surprisingly honestly, Senate Democrats
blocked an effort to advance Trump's National Defense Authorization Act, bringing the-
Well, I don't care about the rest of the stuff, because the NDA and all that stuff, we've covered it extensively.
I just wanted to hear what Trita's thoughts are on the latest in the tit-for-tat.
You keep saying 20 to 30% bro, 13 million people showed up the Hominis.
Hominis or Haminis funeral?
Haminis funeral.
I think it's worth revisiting when, what you think you know about that country now.
No, no, no, no.
I'm saying, I said 20 to 30% base of support before Operation Epic Fury.
Of course that number has grown a lot.
All right, let's hear from Andy Burnham. There's also an interview. We're going to
talk about the drama in Wisconsin, because the Wisconsin Democratic Party is scrambling
right now. But let's do a brief Andy Burnham.
But Andy Burnham probably has like a set of values, a set of principles about trying
to make the country fairer, trying to bring people out of poverty that he really does
believe in.
We now come to Andy Burnham, Member for Makerfield.
But I think if he had like an incredibly clear idea of what he wanted to do with the
country, like what is it that ails the country and how am I going to fix it with my agenda?
I think if he had that we would know about it now.
we wouldn't be guessing about it and talking about it, like it would just be
a learous day. I don't think it is that the biggest problem he faces is that a
whole range of people across the Labour movement and in the country have
projected onto Andy Burnham their hopes and their fantasies about how the
country should be run and what Labour should stand for and what Andy Burnham
stands for. You know he's not scared of locking horns with people and he's
You know, everybody thinks he's, and is this nice cheeky, chappy guy, but trust me, when he wants something,
well, we've seen it. He's always wanted to be PM, haven't we? When he wants something, he tends to get in it.
We'll see.
In the last few hours.
We'll see his performance. Who's Andy Burnham? The next UK prime minister.
That's the UK's Labour Party has announced a new leader.
former mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, who is already setting the tone for what his leadership will look like, can you listen?
We are united, and we put the power...
Yeah, Burnham spoke for 20 minutes as Labour's new leader, Gaza got zero words, Palestine got zero words, silence so total.
On the day you take power is a decision says Claudia Webb.
Ben Mac. Why the hell would he mention either of those things? The sooner they're forgotten
and the country gets back to focusing on its own problems, the better.
Yeah, no, definitely. British foreign policy famously has nothing to do with the current
domestic issues that Britain, but the England is facing.
Yeah. Like the censorship bills, the repercussions that people are facing for even protesting
against the government in any way, shape, or form, all that stuff is irrelevant. ID laws,
all that stuff is irrelevant. But even outside of that, why is there an imminent energy crisis
in England, for example. Perhaps it has some to do with the lack of interest demonstrated
by the, you know, Labour leader, former Labour leader, British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer,
in addressing America's actions that have negative consequences all around the world
and certainly in the UK.
These people would rather live in their delusional fantasies to assume that all of these countries
exist on their own and not in this delicate and fragile ecosystem where things that are
happening in the Strait of Hormuz have tremendous impact in their day-to-day lives, okay?
They don't understand it, or rather, they refuse to recognize it, they refuse to understand
it.
It's very stupid.
It comes from that unity at the service of people and places who have been waiting too
long for politics to let them hope again.
That's what we're going to do everybody. We're going to give them hope back.
Well he is succeeding Sir Kias Falma, who announced his resignation as Prime Minister last month,
but Burnham won't officially be taking the mandal of PM until Monday.
In recent years he has become one of the country's most popular politicians.
CNN's Claire Sebastian has more.
Don't know if I'll have another camera.
Britain's incoming Prime Minister belongs to a new generation of politicians,
one that understands the power of social media.
From campaign trail highlights
to football skills
to a viral roasting of the British opposition leader who called him
a pair of eyelashes and a black t-shirt.
It's dark blue actually.
That video racked up over five million views on X.
The strategy, especially with these signature selfie-style videos,
has really got an effort by Burnham.
I will say this, I do appreciate seeing, uh, like British news media also take this like totally
hollowed out liberal approach to, to politicians, like not a lot to say about policies, not a lot
to say about the direction of the party and a whole lot to say about social media.
Like Zoram Mammdani, you know, as those are on Mammdani success is because of his social media
capabilities present himself as an outsider here in Westminster a regular
guy despite of course his many years spent in Parliament previously his style
is true to Andy and that isn't going to change a source close to his campaign
told me he's not trying to land a point with every post he feels comfortable he
feels relaxed and to be honest with you reminds me of that famous phrase that
Margaret Thatcher had about Ronald Reagan is he's engaged in the great cause of cheering us all up. We're doing it to change labor
No, this isn't real
Israel got a win by forfeiting his Lithuania even though they played the match and Lithuania swept them
They got the win because they followed the complaint with FIFA about one of the players playing for Lithuania wearing a Palestinian flag antenna during the match
What
the
what is this
please read the names aspect dead all this isn't fucking FIFA dude
In Rocket League, you can wear flag antennas in context.
Oh my God, you guys, I just,
so fucking stupid.
I was like, what is that?
How can a player, I was thinking like,
how can a player wear an antenna?
Like, how does that make sense?
Optimism and hope, don't always get the clicks.
FIFA runs a Rocket League tournament?
Okay, it's Rocket League.
I mean, it's Israel, but who cares?
It's fucking Rocket League.
He has got a harder job in terms of, you know, his content compared to someone like Trump or like Farage.
If you come to the UK illegally, you will be detained and deported.
We know that social media algorithms prioritize or amplify emotionally charged,
academic and controversial content in any way.
But I would look to someone like Nandani, for example, who has managed to navigate that.
I'm freezing! You're a rat!
New York Mayor Zoran Mandani is emerging as a template for progressive politicians on social media
and the parallels with Burnham aren't hard to find.
Using social to amplify grassroots campaigning,
light-hearted ways to discuss major policies.
Start spreading!
Even singing!
I left the North again, I travel south again.
I like when people take risks and try things out.
Oh shit, look who it is!
That's our boy, Andrew Epstein, and aren't afraid of cringe.
But says Mamdani's former communications director, Burnham's desire to unify may have
come a big expense of clarity.
The agenda and the message is a bit more muddled than Zoran's was, and the risk that Burnham
runs and being, you know, sort of being all things to all people or not being totally clear on where he
falls on particular issues or ideological debates, I think can risk reading to people as just being
another politician. And that's exactly what Vernon is trying to avoid. I am going to do things
differently. He's used social media to make himself accessible to regular people. Dog,
if this is just about social media, England is cooked. I mean, you guys are cooked anyway. If
you're in the UK, you already know that you don't need to hear it from me. We're cooked too, but you
guys are cooked in a way faster timeline than us. But oh my God, the only redeemable aspect of this
guys that he likes to wear black t-shirts and those social media that's it really can I hear one
policy please can we get one policy please thank you please he's not a tiktok influencer he's the
prime minister hello who cares who cares about how good he is on social media placing criticism on
on the way for neglecting traditional media, something he denies.
No questions allowed from journalists at this recent big policy speech.
Instead, a few days later, he took to Reddit.
And for the record, people are saying he calls it the socials apparently.
Who cares, so does Keir Starmer.
A public Ask Me Anything session that was so popular, the site crashed midway through,
the source told CNN.
Oh my god, it's more about the social media, Jesus Christ.
The challenge now to strike a balance between running on the TikTok and running a country.
That's the best the NCNN.
Trump is good on social media too, yes.
But you know what else Trump was good at?
Identifying grievances that dumb fucks had and then hammering it on.
He wasn't just good on social media.
He was good at delivering an easy to understand message.
He defined his own platform.
He identified what people were angry.
He identified first, and foremost, the anger that people had, the anger towards the establishment,
the anger towards business as usual politics.
That's very important.
Then, he identified exactly what policies he was going to implement, and he communicated
them with the easiest to understand messages.
Build the wall, lock her up, drain the swamp.
What you hear from Donald Trump in those repeated messages is actually real policies, okay?
Those are real policies.
Drain the swamp is the Trumpian version of saying there's a lot of corruption that we've
identified in Washington, DC, and we're going to put an end to it.
Locker up is an extension of that.
American policies have actually led to a lot of criminal behavior from our political opposition.
We are going to implement law and order.
the wall is american uh...
american border security
compromise american uh... america's a lot far too many illegal immigrants in the
country
they're actually harming your lives and we're gonna put an end to that those are
all
those are all the final policies i don't agree with them i think well the
corruption when i do agree with and maybe even locker up but
but i know that donald trump was never going to actually follow through on that
but if we're looking at simply messaging
We're looking at simply fucking messaging. Yeah, he messaged very well.
He had easily identifiable policies that he defined himself with.
Zoran did that, too.
Zach's take on Andy. Oh, Zach Polanski.
All right, let's take a look.
Said that Andy Burnham is too in hoc to vested interest to offer
real change. You haven't given him a chance, have you? He hasn't even started.
Well, I don't want to be churlish and it might be that he does do the right things, in which
case I'll be the first to applaud him. But let's look at the ominous mood music we've
seen already. He's appointed James Pernel as his chief of staff. This is a man who
was literally a corporate lobbyist for private water companies. When we have water companies
pumping sewage into our rivers and charging us extra for the privilege, this doesn't seem
like a good star. Then we know that Josh Finans was the person who stepped aside for him in
Makerfield. This is a man who hired a private investigator to look into a journalist who
was talking about undeclared donations into Lader Together, a project which still seems to be at
the heart of Andy Burnham. And then finally, we can look at the only substantial thing he's voted
on as an MP in the last week. He supported Shamat Shabana Mahmood's regressive immigration reforms,
including asking. Yeah, that was terrible. Like keeping Shabana Mahmood in the home secretary
position is perhaps one of the clearest indications that Andy Burnham is going to be business as usual
and continue some of the worst aspects of labor policy.
Asylum seekers to review their cases every 30 months. That's deeply inhumane and deeply
She's going to be chancellor.
You might be fleeing war and persecution and have a...
Wonder why you care? Oh my God.
Oh my God, that is...
Why don't you like her?
Why don't I like Shabana Mahmood?
I don't know.
Maybe because she fucking banned me from entering the country.
That's one reason.
I mean, there's a bunch more, obviously.
She literally directly banned me from the country. That's number one, which is silly in comparison to her her
anti-migrant policies and
Silly in comparison, but in line with that banning was also her her
unbelievable
Sensory is regime over people who are protesting for a free Palestine things like that
Things like that are very consequential. They're gutting
They are gutting what remains of free expression in the country, okay?
A judgment reason to be in this country. So as I say, he might surprise me and he might move in a more progressive direction.
Like Andy Burnham saw all of that and was like, that's my goat. Chancellor time.
Really welcome that. Everything we've seen so far, including the rumored appointment of Shabana Mahmood as Chancellor,
a politician who cites Margaret Thatcher as one of her political heroes. This doesn't
sound like we're moving in the direction to endrip of Britain. It looks like the more
more of the same status quo and indeed in hawk to vested interest.
Dude, oh my God, a labor person like fondly recollecting on Margaret Thatcher's legacy
is insane.
Lee Burnham again, as I say, comes along and says, I'm going to put a borrow 1% tax on
assets of 10 million pounds on war or a 2%.
you defend the accusation that you are easily triggered? I mean, sure. Yeah, I I'm not defending
it. Yes, I'm easily triggered. I'm on and tax on a billion pounds or more. I'll applaud
that.
People that just go, Oh, you're easily triggered, never understand what I'm angry about. If
you understood the severity of the crisis, you'd be angry all the time too. Half the
time I'm angry for shit that doesn't even impact me personally. Half the time I'm angry
about things that are impacting you. And I'm more angry, it seems, than you are about
things that are hurting you and your life and ruining your life.
I want to work with that. If he puts in rent controls, by the way, if we frozen rents in
2022, we'd be saving the average UK renter now, £2,400 every single year. And we'd be
saving the government £2 billion a year. And if you look at the profit margin of your
average UK landlord, they'd still be making four and a half times as much as the average
UK business. So rent controls is a win-win all round. It's these kind of policies that
are transformative, are big, bold plans, but we can't keep tinkering at the edges. We need
a government that are going to do these things. If they're prepared to do these things, I'll
work with them. But every signal we're seeing so far is actually going to be doing the opposite
and more of a failed status quo. If Andy Burnham again, as I said, I think
All right, so social media, what else, what else, let's hear policies please.
It's economy.
Wes Ball was an advisor to Gordon Brown and Brown served as prime minister.
He joins us now from London.
So Andy Burnham, no surprise, elected by the Labour Party as leader and therefore will
become prime minister on Monday.
He's going to do things differently, he says, promising policy, not politics.
For example, promising good growth in every British postcodes, talking about levelling
up.
But where is it?
How?
What are the policies?
What are the immediate ways that he is going to experience good growth, generate good growth
in every postcode?
How's he doing that?
There is no decent growth anywhere in the UK at this point.
So how is he going to fix that?
I think that's he's
Oh, America. Wait, what? American troops injured per ZBS.
ZBS line is broadcasting service. Several U.S.
service members injured in the Iranian attacks on the Jordanian bases this week.
We don't know what that means. We don't know
the severity of the casualties.
The severity of their wounds.
But I suspect that we will get more information soon.
Yeah, like this is coming out now, which means it happened, you know, this past week.
Which means we don't have any information on, like, last night's attacks, for example.
Okay?
But if ZBS is reporting it, they're trying to get ahead of it most likely.
Great challenge is that he wants to do politics differently. He says and truly and very authentically
he believes that power has been centralized in Westminster and taken away from people and he
wants to push that away and he thinks that economic power has been privatized and he wants to bring
public control of the key economic levers back into government and into the hands of the people
but how that drives growth is his big challenge because part of the reason people feel so disenchanted
in the UK and this has been going on for a long time is because real wages are so low at the moment
and have not been rising for many many years. Hmm. His promise transformative change whilst also
no pledging to stick to the current, like the...
Yeah, it doesn't make sense.
If you're on the one hand saying
that you're the change candidate,
which obviously it's a necessity,
change is a necessity in the UK,
things are not going well at all.
But then you keep the same people in charge,
you elevate Shabana Mahmood, for example,
then what kind of change are you truly offering?
How will things change?
Is it just social media?
You just have more risen than Kirstam,
which isn't really saying much,
Kirstarmer is an unbelievably uncharismatic person.
Why the fuck is everybody talking around the issue?
To change Chancellor Rachel Reeves's fiscal rules.
I just wonder, can he realistically do both?
Well, I think we will see a very different government.
People say, people have speculated that
he's all things to all people.
I think actually that's not true.
Andy has been a politician since 2001.
He had three cabinet posts in the last labor government.
He spent time 10 years out of Westminster as Mayor of Manchester.
Cheers, Starwalk.
Is there a bid to run for Senate in May?
That's crazy.
I think he's truly found his authentic self.
So the Andy Burnham that you saw speaking today,
very passionately committed to handing power back to people
and away from Westminster, away from the central state,
is truly him. Whether that will bring about the change he wants to bring about quickly
is a real question. I think, you know, Andy Burnham is very clear that this is the last
chance for Labour and it's the last chance for kind of the mainstream parties because
he is very clear in his own mind that if it's not him and if his government doesn't succeed,
then Nigel Farage and reform will be the next government and that for him is, you know, it's
not just the swing of the pendulum,
it's a complete transformation in the UK.
Wes, is his team going to look more like the team
that was around Tony Blair, 1997 through the period of time
when you were on Gordon Brown's team,
or is this going to look more like a sort of very left wing
social democratic sort of more Mandani
than blare as it were.
Well, your piece a moment ago, you talked about Andy is a
very effective communicator and a social media politician.
I'm gonna, are they trolling? Are they fucking trolling chat?
British chatters? Is this a joke? Is this like a funny joke
that they're playing? Where the entire country's in on it?
But they're just like, we are going to literally communicate
zero. We are just going to, we're going to see if we can get the Americans to lose their
fucking minds. The American, the Amerifat's dumb enough to even care about what the fuck's
going on in the UK are going to tune into the broadcast. And then the only thing that
they are going to hear is about how this fucking guy from the fucking former mayor of Manchester
is great on social media
all my god
all my god come on he does social media he's literally mom donnie
he's just like mom donnie who is known for social media
dude no that's not even a joke you said this guy says count bin face had more
defined policies it's true
see i remember
fixing the fucking
uh... what was it the the the
the hand sanitizer position in the in the bathroom at oxbridge or whatever the fuck
i can't i can't recall it right now because it's british shit i don't know but
one affordable house build one affordable house toilet in the pub
Ex-Labor MP Ben Bradshaw, who was a minister in Tony Blair's government in an unrepentant
supporter of the Iraq War, who served on the racist level of the Henry Jack Society and
was an enthusiastic backer of Gears, Thomas's Andy Burnham will do a very effective job
as prime minister.
Oh my God.
You obviously served in the cabinet back in the day with Andy Burnham.
What was he like?
He was a very effective minister, a very rounded politician.
personable, very good communicator. His little politician that the public, unlike most politicians,
say they'd be happy to have a client in the pub with. And I think he'll be very...
Dude, this is your version, British Shadows, this is your version of Burger, okay? For Americans,
it's Burger, okay? For the British, it's imagine a pint at a pub, a proper pint, with the lads.
What is fucking going on man? What is happening in your goddamn country? Oh my god
Every time I think that American media is so ass I am reminded that there is worse
Media apparatus is out there because I remember the existence of British media
Okay. Every time I get frustrated at like, CNN, ZBS or numerous other outlets and especially like,
with their recent pivot towards being a propaganda apparatus for the, for the state,
for the nation, state of Israel, for the American state under the leadership of Donald Trump,
I am reminded that British media exists. And I think to myself, well, things could be worse.
Things could be far worse.
I did job as as prime minister you
Yes, he's a good lad you can have a proper fight with him. That's right
He's a very good communicator well communicator policy one policy
If you're such a good communicator tell me one thing that's going on that this guy's gonna do that this guy's gonna fucking fix
Anyway moving on from
Moving on from the chaos unfolding in the chaos unfolding across the pond
back to our side of the universe. Influence. Socialists throw Democratic
Party into chaos. Fox News is covering
Fox News is covering socialism and socialists every single day. I'm glad
that the movement is growing so much so that Fox News moved on from doing
this just to me, but instead to the broader socialist movement. Okay, what is this? This
is a scandalizing remix. What the fuck is this? Okay, chatter. All right, we'll look at it later.
All right. Well, how's Demser this watershed vote this week to kind of assistance to Israel,
more than 100 lawmakers voter in favor of this measure that blocks funding to America's closest
security ally in the Middle East joining us now. Josh Krauschar, Fox News, Radio, Political
Analysts. That's crazy. That's crazy. Wait, first of all, that's what Josh looks like.
This is my first time seeing what this motherfucker looks like. I've only seen his little pfp on
Twitter. This is the primary op. Apex Tewch, Jewish Insider reporter, Josh Krauschar.
Goddamn.
God damn
This was alarming to put it mildly take a look from demo. Yeah, he uh, wait, did he write this article?
No, Gabby D'Oish is another op of mine. She wrote this article a pack ends fundraising for endorses who voted to cut off Israel aid
What?
Good great
Great put the flag on the ground
down. It's the American flag, baby, not the Israeli one. Okay. APAC ends fundraising for
endorses who voted to cut off Israel. This is the op. This is Jewish insider where Josh
Garsh, Josh Krauschar writes for it is basically the propaganda apparatus for APAC. It's APAC's
own fake newspaper. Democratic socialists top MAGA candidates among voters in CNBC's
all-america poll. Yeah, maybe that's why they're hitting the DSA candidates. I saw that. Yeah,
Democratic Socialists and the movement is more popular than MAGA and more popular than Trump,
by the way. Okay, interesting stuff coming out of these polls.
Who says, uh, I am deeply concerned about the tactics used by those in the far left to advocating cut out a to Isreal to date.
My family and I have had our home vandalized.
A fire has been set in my driveway.
Neighbors lives have been disrupted in the middle of the night town halls meant to be forums for dialogue.
Have been shut down in a staff member,
physically,
üyor
middle of the night. Town halls meant to be formed for dialogue have been shut down in
a staff member physically. It's so funny that all these guys have to self-flagellate to
be like, I'm voting to cut off all aid to Israel in this symbolic vote that I'm placing
knowing full well that it's not going to pass. But also I just need you to know like, I'm
really sorry about it. Okay. And, and, and people have gotten totally out of hand. They're
They're hurting me. They're hurting my family. Please.
You know, yeah, Roger, you say Roger just dropped out. I know, I know.
I got that. I got that on the docket. Don't worry.
We're going to talk about Wisconsin in a little bit.
There's a lot going on in both the Michigan race and the Wisconsin race.
If I were a Zionist, I stop and think about how the fact that policy believe
that attacking Israel is good for them politically might be a sign that Israel
needs to change the strategy. Yep.
It's okay. We know and it's nothing new. It's a soul sad. Good. Lucky. We have an army now
Shoulder hormones is closed by the way says Sammy gold now
Luckily, we have an army now is again more of the same
Like this guy literally read this
okay
He read this criticism and then immediately turned around and said nope no notes gonna do the same thing that we've been doing
Bitch, what army? You don't have an army without American aid. You don't have an army without American support.
You know what you have? Criminals, okay? Without American political cover at the international level, for example.
You know what you have? You don't have an army. You have a bunch of terrorists. You have a bunch of criminals that are doing war crimes, which is the truth, by the way.
Oh, fuck.
I guess that's the door. Jesus Christ. Terrifying.
and Israel high we assaulted yikes yeah Jillian I mean this shows you the rising
power of the extreme left in Democratic Party politics and that you had a hundred
three Democrats some of them were actually pro-Israel supporters for most
of their careers but as Adam Smith said they were facing political threats from
the far left. And in Adam Smith's case, he was facing the threat of physical violence
against him in order to cast this as part of a pressure campaign in casting this vote
against Israel and its funding at a time of great need and the face of security threats
all over the region. So, I mean, it shows you just how much influence the socialist movement
of the Democratic Party, winning these big primaries in New York and Colorado last month,
it shows how much influence they're having within the party. I will say, though, that
when it comes to the general election politics, the mainstream politics, almost all of the
Democrats that are running for the Senate in swing states or in swing districts that
are facing general elections against strong Republican candidates, almost all of them
actually voted with Israel and voted to the...
Oh, oh, good, good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that's definitely pro-Israel politics wins in swing
states. Yeah, the other side of the story that Josh is, of course, cleverly not mentioning
is the fact that
those candidates
also talking about fucking hailey stevens obviously here as well
those candidates
are getting a fucked up money
from a pack
they're not stronger contenders and
and being you know openly pro-israel is good politics
especially the wing swing states in the way that he's trying to imply here
is just
being a friend israel allows israel to buy that seat
that's it
that's it that's the whole point
and most americans do recognize that nowadays so
uh... it's not looking too good for a pack
but continue the aid to israel so it tells you that this is a product of the
far left really getting its foothold in democratic party politics
fearing perhaps you know a spread
to the senate senator john featherman said this earlier in the week when i get
your reaction
I literally said that on your network, at least a week or two or more ago now,
I believe that the Democratic Party is going to become more anti-Israel.
You make that official, you make that part of our platform.
That's my red line in the Democratic Party.
They're not just, I'm just pro-Palestinian.
I'm deeply anti-Israel.
They campaign with garbage like Hassan Piker that's pro-Hamas.
I mean obviously that generated a lot of headlines when he originally said it but he's standing
by it even more so after this shockboat this week.
Yeah, look, John Fetterman is in the perennial swing state of Pennsylvania.
He understands how politically toxic.
Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude.
This is the funniest.
This is Fox News, okay? They're not exactly known for being truthful. They're not exactly
known for insightful commentary on what's actually taking place in American politics.
But this is exceptional, okay? This is an exceptional operation of lying and claiming
that something that is on fire is actually not on fire at all, okay?
The notion that pro-Israel politics is popular in swing states is a lie, okay?
It's gone.
It's over.
It is the most over.
It's dead.
I mean, Chris Rab obviously proved this in Philadelphia, but regardless, some are Lee
as well.
But regardless, it's not even just about that.
It's not even just about Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and like cities.
By and large, pro-Israel politics is so unbelievably toxic, okay?
It's gone.
It's done.
It's so bad that all of the money that APAC is dumping to the remaining pro-Israel politicians,
the ones that are loyal, will eventually backfire on those politicians.
It's already started to backfire.
There are examples of this in upstate New York with that Democrat that voted to censure
Rashida Tlaib back in the day, literally refunding APAC donations, okay?
Anti-Israel politics is not only good politics, it's good policy, and everyone knows it.
APAC knows it, too.
That's precisely the reason why they never talk about their stooge as being pro-Israel.
Israel. Pat Ryan is who I was talking about. Thank you, chatter.
APAC knows this as well.
That's precisely the reason why they have to do these shell corporations and
move money around to hide the fact that it's coming from an Israel related
super PAC.
And not only that, but also
none of those ads ever feature the candidates position on Israel.
It's gotten so bad that APEC in the past would literally do everything in their power to deny you your seat
if you were even slightly critical of Israel, whether it be critical of Netanyahu or critical of anything that Israel is doing.
Nowadays, they're even giving allowances to their politicians to criticize Benjamin Netanyahu.
Haley Stevens is a fantastic example of this. Haley Stevens is probably one of the biggest pro-Israel stooges in a long list.
of people who demonstrate absolute fealty to this foreign country and yet Haley Stevens has now been given the bandwidth
To make it seem like she's Israel critical
Even though she's gotten
$40 million in
ad spend from Israel packs a pack United democracy project and numerous others
That's how bad things have gotten
So, Josh Kraushar can keep denying that reality all day every day.
Josh Kraushar and many others can say, oh, it's just anti-Semitism.
That's the reason why people are critical of Israel,
or eventually they're going to give up on this, and eventually they're going to move.
They're not moving.
As I like to repeatedly explain to people, today is the day that Israel will be the most popular.
Tomorrow, Israel will be less popular than it is today.
yesterday Israel was more popular than it is today it's done every day that goes
on Israel becomes less and less popular pro-israel politics becomes more
toxic it is a litmus test for a politicians responsiveness to the
needs of the base are they going to place the interest of are they going to
place moneyed interest first and foremost in the way that they legislate or are they
going to put the working class at the center of their politics. That's what it is. Palestine
has replaced wokeness as a progressive litmus test. Even if you're a center-left Democrat
who's not particularly pro-Palestine, this should be seen as a good thing. It's a better
litmus test than wokeness, as being pro-Palestine slash Israel skeptical is more popular among
Americans and therefore isn't an electoral liability the way wokeness is, says Shadi
Hamid, there is some truth to that for sure. There's more bipartisan approval for anti-Israel
politics than there is for whatever wokeness has been defined as. There's a level of truth
to it. The problem with wokeness is that, one, there's too much negative polarization
against it. That's number one. And number two, wokeness can be defined as like the cynical
ways in which Haley Stevens says, Abdullah Sayed is misogynistic, like that's technically
quote unquote woke. Okay. Wokeness can also imply, you know, things that we all agree
on that we should leave trans people alone, that we shouldn't interfere in the, in the
medical decisions that Americans are making, and that should be kept between a doctor and
a patient, right?
That could also mean wokeness, right?
That's perfectly normal position, perfectly popular position as a matter of fact, but
it just depends on how you frame it, depends on how you talk about it.
is to the overall public and certainly the independents and Republicans. It's also very
important to the Senate politics as well because John Federman said this week in part of that clip
he could switch parties if the Democratic Party becomes an anti-Israel party.
No, that will definitely, that will definitely improve Israel's chances I think. You know,
by and large Americans consider this to be a sinister force, a malign force on American
politics, people that have tremendous power, people that engage in this like shadowy backroom
decisions to basically overthrow American democracy, the democratic process, certainly
doing something like that or even threatening something like this would greatly improve
Israel's popularity amongst Americans, definitely.
Yeah, this will show him that'll show him this will make people definitely less
anti-semitic for example if that's something you care about they'll be
like oh yeah this this fucking brain dead loser switched parties because Israel
is what he cares about and not fucking Pennsylvania well I'm sure I've
reconsidered my decision on my my opinions on this this foreign country I
like it a lot now is that that what you think is gonna happen that's what you
suspect is going to happen, people are going to be like, yeah, well, none of this stuff
matters at the end of the day, because here is the sinister reality. Democracy is fake,
okay? We don't have a real democratic process in this country, because if your elections
are bought and sold, if they're sold to the highest bidder, then of course our politicians
do the bidding of people who pay for those seats rather than the actual voters who go
out and vote and their needs are secondary to the needs of corporate
profits or the interests of a foreign nation state like Israel which spends a
good deal amount of money to ensure that there is a level of loyalty to the
needs of this foreign country as opposed to the needs of the masses that's just
the reality okay and that's part of the reason why these guys can just posture
this way right that's part of the reason why Zionists can go on national
television and lie, however they see fit, or even go out and threaten the democratic
process altogether.
It's a threat.
It's basically, Josh Kroger saying, eh, there's not really much you can do about it.
We can just create this totally concocted false narrative and people won't know any
better.
Well, things are changing and people do know better, or at least that's what I've seen
so far on the ground and and as we know like if the senate math is very close if democrats
win a few seats in the senate in the midterms john federman could prevent them from actually
winning control of the upper chamber if if he switches parties given given the parties
the democratic party's anti-israel turn that's what he's saying right there he's sending
a clear note to his party we can't go off the deep end ideologically and if you do i'm
actually gonna consider leaving the democratic party myself okay josh oh no what will we
do without Josh's vote. Here's a great example by the way. U.S. Representative Hayley Stephens
is asked by W. Detroit. She's asked by W. Detroit. God damn it, what the fuck is going
on? Jesus Christ. She's asked by W. Detroit how she would increase transparency in U.S.
campaign finance laws. Her response will shock you.
Look, I'm out here. I'm transparent. People are frustrated. I just put out a television
ad saying, I'm the only non-millionaire running for Senate and you're so right, Ross.
What is this?
I talked to some of these leading campaign finance reform organizations and I told them.
I said directly, I got an A grading from them and it's true. We've got a problem in this country.
We need courageous leadership.
We need the laws to change.
Mike Rogers, he's going along with Donald Trump's schemes.
But wouldn't it be more courageous to not take that money
in a primary?
I understand that you need to make money,
or you need to have all the money you can
in general elections.
Well, you know how our election laws work.
The thing is, is that we have to pour gifts.
That's the laws to stop dark money.
It is not about whether I say it or not as a point of altruism.
This is actually about changing our laws. Look, I've seen this before in my race.
It's, you know, I had a week of conservation, but it's great organization.
I'm so proud of it. One day I'm watching the 2D and they got a nice add up for me.
I think this was like in 2021 or something. Yeah. Yeah.
It's just totally happenstance, totally random stroke of luck,
totally a random accident that Israel and APAC has dumped 40 million
dollars into this race. Of course, Ryan Grimm asks a very salient,
very important point uh... raise a very salient point
after slash if
stevens was the nomination a pack will obviously drop her like a rock why would
they waste money
when she and my carriages will vote the same way near a tandem knows this and
doesn't care more important for her to block up dual and then lose the general
that is the fucking reality
because hailey stevens is not being carried
right now
by her charisma
by her campaigning by the real mobilization that she's a
he's been able to to implement on the ground
it's not the policies you ask
anybody what the fuck hailey steven stands for
i don't think many of her supporters would have a reasonable answer they
just say oh she's reliable obama likes her
she's worked for michigan for many many years if you were to be like what is a
policy that she is going to implement that you like that you are voting for
you would have no answers
most people have no answers for this question
if you ask obdulity say
you know money out of politics money in your pocket
medicare for all
right babies not bombs these are the
the easy to understand definable policy positions that obdulity has that that
he's communicating very effectively
i know it's oversimplified in a lot of fucking dumb ass technocratic uh...
neoliberals get mad at that shit but that's literally the
the oversimplified message of build the wall it's it's very important to be
able to define yourself with your policies in a way that is digestible, in a way that
is easy to understand.
So just remember that.
So Abdul's doing a great job with that, right?
So there's nothing in the tank for Hayley Stevens of that sort.
She doesn't, she's literally being carried by television ads.
That's it.
To the tune of $54 million.
So what happens when that money goes away?
Because from the perspective of a lot of these corporate packs, they could see, because
their companies, they have no loyalty, they have no ideological predisposition.
When they realize, and I'm sure making this calculation already, when they realize, when
they realize, if in the unlikely scenario that Haley Stevens was the primary, that it's
her versus my groggers, both are going to be servants of the same corporate interest,
they're not going to spend money on Haley Stevens.
So what do you do then?
What do you do then? What will the Democrats do then? Are they going to exhaust their resources
that they could be using elsewhere for a campaign that cannot fundraise for an uncharismatic
candidate? For a candidate that most likely has given her APAC affiliations, most likely
is going to be harmed in the general election by a lot of voters?
There will be tremendous, depressive consequences on turnout if Haley Stevens is the candidate.
Okay?
What do you do then?
You got your ass, bro.
Okay.
We're going to talk about Haley Stevens right now.
I don't want to talk about Jose, she also cooking my ass with slander, but we'll get
there in a second.
Yeah, this Michigan, Hamid Benda says, this Michigan strategist is actually fully aware
that Haley Stevens is a serious general election fundraising liability because she's fully
relying on APEC.
Why is everyone not talking about this?
Meanwhile, with fundraising an indicator of excitement for a candidate, Stevens is consistently
lagging others.
said, if I were a supporter of hers, your stream is on Fox News right now. Wait, what,
what are they talking about?
Let's tune in. Main's buffet of bad options.
The interesting thing is that's, that shows the problem they have. The left can't be satisfied
and no one else can possibly be satisfied. It's why I think Susan Collins is going to
Oh, did they post my campaign this year? Nobody's happy except
Oh, no, I think they might emerge as the winner. Did they post me joking and saying these guys don't have a lot of charisma?
Oh, fuck. I gotta stop talking, dude. I
Yeah, yeah, I hate that shit. Fuck you Fox news
We're busting out the Troyota folks Troy Jackson is our boy
Anyway, as I was saying, you dumbass, what do you mean I'm going to be fucking honest
if I see something I'm going to say something.
It was funner when you weren't known.
Yeah.
Politico is the reason actually Michael Cruz, Hasan Pajar State on the news, Maine,
can is they're all so Rizzless.
Cause anybody watched a Sampai Gert stream, the guy's dumb as a
doornail. He's blue mag and nobody cares what those losers
think. Stop being weird crews.
He means there's they're all so non rapist, which is why he's
sad. No, you know what I realized I can get these guys to be
fucking pro Troy Jackson by just saying Troy Jackson sucks. I
think I could get every single liberal on this website to ride
for Troy Jackson because they just genuinely don't care about anything.
They just hate me so much that I think they would be in favor of Troy Jackson.
I like Troy Jackson.
Or rather, I should say Troy Jackson is too centrist for my taste.
Wink
Anyway, where were we oh
Meanwhile with fundraiser we're talking about Hayley Stevens and her let her lack of
Ability to fundraise her
Significant issues with fundraising if our supporter hers that might make me a little nervous
So like set of Stevens in the super pack era her campaign may not feel the necessity of raise a lot if they're watching 26 million
And we're only on July 20 July 15th. There must be a lot more to come still
It could spill danger for in the general election of this heavy spending the primaries just based on stopping outside
So look at it then what happens next?
Yeah, Milwaukee, holy shit, there's crazy stuff happening in Milwaukee.
There's crazy stuff happening in Wisconsin, in the Wisconsin gubernatorial, we're going
to get into that in a second.
Here's another example of this, by the way, Sri Thanadar, one of your guys, our boy in
Detroit or the incumbent. Hopefully we're going to unseat him with democratic socialist
endorse Donovan McKinney. Sri Thanadar's campaign reported losing $630,000 after investing
3.7 million in crypto. Amid those losses, APAC donors stepped in and gave Thanadar two-thirds
of the money he raised last quarter ahead of a challenge from dem socialist Donovan
McKinney. It's unbelievable. The level of corruption is fucking insane. A similar level
of corrupt, uh, politicking is taking place in Wisconsin. We're gonna, we're gonna get
into that in a second. Uh, last thing I wanted to point to with, uh, with, with Michigan,
before we get into, before we get into Wisconsin politics was going to be about Abdel El Sayed.
So Abdel El Sayed, the race in Michigan is heating up. Haley Stevens has gotten the signature
centrist endorsement of Jim Clyburn, who could forget when Jim Clyburn endorsed Andrew Cuomo
I guess, or on Mamdani, you know, the deal, uh, congressional black caucus pack is also,
uh, thrown some money in the race or is slated to throw some money in the race. Congressional
black caucus pack is also, you know, basically another subsidiary of APAC at this point. So
that's where we're at. In the Michigan race, uh, obdol all said, did something that I don't
think he should have done, but he did it anyway. And I respect his decision. Uh, if you were
recall yesterday or the day prior, I talked a little bit about Haley Stevens and like
how I was starting to get a little worried that people on the internet meaming Haley
Stevens was, you know, about clouting on Haley Stevens about the way she sounds, was eventually
going to shift the attention away from how bad of a candidate she is for other reasons,
real related reasons and instead, presenter is a more sympathetic figure. Liberals have been
signaling that they're trying to do this already, right? Liberals have already been doing this,
but they're like, oh, hey, Lee Stevens, she's always the victim of bullying, blah, blah, blah.
Okay.
Okay.
Abdullas said, came out and released this Bernie Bro style apology.
Wait, what?
Is the post been deleted?
No, it's still there.
Okay.
He said, it's become impossible to ignore the way that people online make fun of my
opponent for things that we have nothing to do with their policies or politics.
It's unkind and unhelpful.
If you support me, please stop.
Now it's a good way to not really apologize and to also not take ownership over this,
it doesn't matter because the media is going to use this to their advantage regardless.
He doesn't actually say, Hey, my fans are doing this. You should stop. Right.
Focus on the issues. Congresswoman Stevens is welcome. Corporations special interest
and supporter. She votes to send our money abroad while Michigan under struggle. She's
bought by DTE, Blue Cross, big tech and big pharma who pick up our pockets, who pick our
pockets, APAC, Trump aligned billionaires and corporate packs are spending $50 million
a supporter. Those are the issues. We don't need to be unkind to be honest. So here's the problem.
Okay? Here's the problem. Now that Abdul said this, I'm of two different minds on this because on
the one hand, I do agree with him on principle. I do agree with him on principle that like,
it's better to focus on Haley Stevens's policies than to just say that she has like a weird voice
And I've done plenty of that myself. I do unironically find her voice to be
uh a a
Not necessarily a burden. I do find it endearing as I've talked about extensively
I do I like people in this community have yelled at me over it over and over again
Okay
You brought this up during your lbc interview if you spend time apologizing for every little thing people will focus on what you're apologizing for instead of the real issues. Yes
Couple of weeks, I mean he's receiving as you might imagine ferocious
Yes, that's my policy if I'm a if I'm doing crisis PR
For a candidate. This is the advice. I would give them don't apologize for for shit that you're not responsible for and don't apologize to anybody
but your base
Here's why because
These people are demons. The people in the media, the people who are pro-Israel, they're fucking, they're, they're, they're not gonna take this and go, wow.
Thankfully, Abdul-Ail Said has said something. They didn't do this with Bernie Sanders either. They bullied Bernie endlessly.
Far more than Abdul has been on the receiving end of like, what won't you, why won't you stop your fans from bullying Hailey Stevens for her voice or anything like that?
Okay?
Here's the thing.
On the one hand, he's right, focusing on the issues is far better for the race and far better in general.
It's the smart thing to do, because that's what people are going to decide on.
They're not going to focus on her voice when they're making a decision on who they vote for, right?
That's number one.
Number two, even though he, like, you know, calls it out and hopefully will try to shift the focus back to the issues,
most people are going to see this as an admission.
Most people are going to say, you have recognized that your fans, led by you, are doing this.
Here's one of two things people will do.
One, they'll turn around and they'll pick whoever they can to be like, this is a surrogate of yours.
of yours. This person is your best friend. He's made fun of Haley Stevens. What do you
have to say for yourself? That's number one. Number two, they'll say, how dare you now
come out and apologize for this? When you yourself have done this, you said Haley Stevens
is an empty suit bought and paid for by APAC who can't string two sentences together only
Last week, how dare you now come out and apologize? You are responsible for it.
And all you've now done is take ownership over something that is largely outside of your control
that isn't really that significant of an issue at all. Because at the end of the day,
the other side of this statement that is true is the fact that nobody gives a fuck about how
How Haley Stevens sounds. No one is making a decision on that, right?
Here are the results.
Near attended. This is a gracious and smart move. Out of state, influencers to mock Haley
for a Michigan accent is, in truly sexy strokes, are clearly hurting the outside campaign.
Good on him to try and stop it.
Making it seem like this is actually an issue.
earlier this summer about how the online bullying really stevens was taking a toll
i brought up the nrsc's post mocking her had they gone too far they're bullying me she asked
is it in my face is my clothes i'm just getting bullied she said like i was in middle school
there's more shannon watz already digging in the knife you know weakness like this uh and in
these imbeciles immediately smell blood and start pressuring to concede on
other fronts see
shanna watz i appreciate this acknowledgement that your supporters
have been behaving cruelly online on your behalf including your friend is on
piker question is your campaign giving or has it given any money to social media
influencers or the agencies that are mocking her
these people
are not
your friends
these people are not even people
okay
i'm sorry
They're not.
They are hatchet men, okay?
They are operating with one goal and one goal only, victory.
They don't give a fuck about any of this shit.
They are bloodless.
They have already decided to join forces
with a candidate that has gotten $40 million from APAC,
a lobby whose only interest is to continue
the murdering of children.
with American tax dollars
Do not concede to them on any issue. That's my attitude
It's not that big of a problem at the end of the day. Abdul is very charismatic
Okay, he can get around it regardless
He felt like it was important to address it
Okay, he felt like it was important to address it and to say look you guys have to focus on the real issues that matter
Why is hailey steven's getting funded by apac?
Right? That's what matters. He's right about that. Even I brought it up the other day, if you remember.
For the record, they are horrible monsters who have been not so subtly implying that Abdullah Sayed is a misogynistic Muslim, aggressive Muslim man, aggressive towards women as Muslims are known to be.
Maybe he hates Israel because he's Muslim as Muslims are known to be anti-Semitic
So they they do it on both ends, right
He's talking to you now us if you wanted to talk to me he could talk to me, you know
He has many different methods of reaching out to me you dumb fuck
is not an issue with Saunders, a Twitter issue, it is, but Twitter has the capacity to move
the media because it's the news editor of all of these mainstream outlets because the
journalists are still here. Okay? You got so much praise for that post, it doesn't mean anything.
Because what is yet to come has not happened already. It will happen. Going forward,
they will take this as a tacit admission that Abdul fucked up. They're not going to look at this
and and say wow here you have a guy who's like
you know who's seen the bullying uh is is not saying that his fans are doing it
because there's no guarantee there's no admission there was so ever
and he wants to to put an end to it and focus on what matters
they're not gonna do that
they're going to say you took ownership over your fans and then going forward
anyone that ever says anything about hailey steve is they're going to be like
your misogynistic Bernie Bros. style fan base is harassing a woman.
Luckily, we only have, what, two more weeks to worry about this shit? Or not even.
Luckily, we have one more week to worry about this shit.
Because after the primaries are over, after the primaries are done,
You can unload on Mike Rogers all day every day.
Abdul has already been pulling his punches.
It's two and a half weeks, and we don't have to worry about misogyny allegations any longer for simply running against an APAC stooge.
What is this? People who are scared of online mobs have no business policies, gross and
thicker skin says, uh, near attendant. So if you're a popular damn who doesn't want
else said to win your choice are ones thing, which is Bernie as you barnstorm. Yeah.
They're doing this pincer move the lockdown black support while peeling off what they
can of white women. And you're not going to defend against that by pretending that your
voters are being sexist online and doing apology theater. It projects weakness and makes this
seem real. Yeah, I agree with that. Never play by their rules. Never play by their rules because
these people not only wrote the rules, but they will always weaponize it against you.
They never have to play by those rules. Because if Abdul came out and was like,
I feel devastated by the Islamophobic attacks I've received since the first day
that I started this campaign, I simply want what's best for Michiganders. I've given my life
to Michigan. I was a public servant in Michigan. All I want is to help as many people as possible,
give people health care, and communicate their desires better than someone who's getting $50
million from APEC can. Because they're not getting $50 million for no reason. Nobody gives someone
$50 million for no reason, right? If you were to turn around and do that, everyone would be like,
boohoo shut the fuck up you terrorist that's it these people only care about
victory that's it they will do anything and everything they can they will do
anything and everything they can to achieve it specifically victory over
their left flank by the way not over their right flank not over the Republican
party but specifically victory over the Bernie Kratz. Okay? In any case, in any case, it
what it is not the end of the world and Abdul is too nice of a guy in my opinion.
Ironically, you brought this up during the Kamala campaign. It was a savvy point. Yes,
I've said this to everyone. It's free ball. It's free ball always.
Now let's move on from Michigan to Wisconsin. A lot of things took place in Wisconsin. Huge,
huge chaos. If you guys recall, in the Wisconsin gubernatorial, in the Wisconsin gubernatorial
run, we got Francesca Hong, who has been the front runner for a while now, both in terms
of individual donations and also just in general in the polls, she's been, you know, performing
very well. Francesca Hong is DSA through and through. This is very problematic for establishment
Democrats, they're terrified. Not that they're terrified because Francesca Hong is going
to potentially lose. There's going to be a toss-up against the Republican candidate.
Wisconsin is not woke enough, all this stuff, right? That's not the reason. They're terrified
of losing their power. They're terrified of losing one of the more reliable arguments
or one of the more prescient arguments that they constantly deploy, that the woke left
cannot win swing states
okay
a white your mouth
i have
it's not spit chatters
i have a white
i have a white uh... mustache hair
it's a white mustache hair that looks like it says spittle around my mouth
do you not see it
it's a fucking gray hair dumbasses i'm about to be thirty five years old i'm
on
I've gone gray
after a decade of doing this shit
i'm old
or some might say distinguished
so
sarah drigez had uh... a lot of chaos sarah drigez was the candidate that the
establishment was trying to consolidate support behind
she got a lot of people she got a bunch of people to drop out
in this crowded field is crowded primary field for the wisconsin governor's
race
on the democratic side
and endorse her
couple days ago it came out that her campaign manager was basically in
bezeling funds allegedly
okay
so
earlier today
sarah dregas
after getting those endorsements fucking dropped out
She's suspending her campaign.
I want to start by thanking my family
and every single person who showed up for this campaign
over the past week.
Your support has meant more than I can put into words.
As we have continued to dig into our financial reports,
it has become clear that there are issues
that would be an ongoing distraction,
not just for this campaign,
but for the primary and for Wisconsin.
This race is too important to let that happen.
I am deeply hurt and betrayed by what happened.
As I said on Monday, part of being a leader
is taking swift action, doing the right thing
and being as honest as possible when there's a problem.
I got into this race because I wanted
what was best for Wisconsin and that hasn't changed.
And because I believe that I cannot in good conscience
allow these questions to become a cloud
over an election that Democrats need to win.
Wisconsin deserves better than that.
This was never just about any one race or any one candidate.
This is about protecting Wisconsin
from a legislature hellbent.
I'm putting corporations over schools
and insurance companies over patients.
It's about showing the rest of the country
that we can win here, govern here,
and fight for the middle class.
And that Wisconsin will lead the way.
To everyone who showed up, knocked doors, made calls, and believed in what we were building,
please don't stop.
Wisconsin has always been a place of resilience where everyday citizens show up and accomplish
extraordinary things.
Better days are ahead because of people like you.
Let's keep fighting.
I'll be right there with you.
So, did you see a senior interview, Abdul calling himself a capitalist?
What do you say to those who are critical of him just because of this?
Yeah, I don't care that he's a capitalist.
We live in a capitalist country.
There are plenty of people who we love and admire who are capitalists or self-identifying
capitalists.
I care about the policies.
And there's not a lot of daylight between his platform and Bernie Sanders' platform.
One calls themselves a socialist, a democratic socialist.
The other one calls himself a capitalist who gives a shit.
The policies are what matter.
That's all that matters.
Anyway, that's what I care about.
I want to start by thanking my...
So this is the state of panic that was created by the Sarah Rodriguez campaign basically
cratering, falling apart, and Sarah Rodriguez dropped out of the race.
Now, there are some other candidates that could potentially take on the mantle of the
the take on the mantle of the moderate, take on the mantle of the reasonable moderate candidate.
Okay? Here's David Cerroda from the lever, speaking on this new information, let's take
a look.
The idea that your kind of politics are a threat to the kind of electability that's necessary
to win the general election.
David Cerroda here is interviewing Francesca Hong about electability.
Most electable person is the person who wins the most votes.
And we have been winning since we started this campaign in the polls, in growing numbers of supporters.
What is dangerous is to miscalculate where voters are at right now.
Who is in touch with the voters and what are they saying?
and who is vocal about it, who is willing to fight to elect their candidate, and our fighters,
our supporters, are people who haven't engaged in politics before. We fought the disillusionment
and apathy that the Dems keep losing to and not being able to grow a broader coalition.
Gosh, she's so good. I love Francesca Hong so much. I mean, she is so fucking cool.
she is so awesome. Like, she's the type of politician, she's the type of person running
for office that I'm like, do we even fucking deserve her? Honestly? Do we? Do we as a country,
do we as Wisconsin as a state genuinely deserve someone so candid, so good? I think we do.
You cheese there? Okay, shut the fuck up. Seriously. She's another one of those. She is
another one of those candidates where I'm like, fuck, man, like, how do we get here? You tell me
five years ago four years ago three years ago two years ago that we would
have a DSA gubernatorial run in a fucking swing state who has real
viability I feel like come on dude there's no way there's no fucking way
Wisconsin DSA has been simmering in the background for a while. No for sure. I mean the results speak for themselves
Pat yourselves on the back. You deserve it. Can't wait to see you guys.
Of course there's great panic here because she's fucking incredible. There's great panic amongst the establishment Democrats.
There hasn't been a campaign like ours or a candidate like me before, but the voters
that are supporting us are the voters that haven't voted for Democrats before.
These are voters who have voted for Trump in the past.
In a time where no other Democrat, I think, has, last night checked, been able to raise
the money that Tiffany did, we've gotten the seven-figure checks from three different
billionaires who are backing his campaign.
the campaign who was bringing the reinforcements and the organizing
in. Can you assure when you come to Michigan, please? Yes, yes, yes. Of
course, I'm going to link up with McKinney structure to actually organize
to win and not just win in August and November, but to keep netting win
for Democrats to move an agenda that will deliver for working class
people change the material conditions of their lives. And when folks see
that when Dems are in power and things are getting a little bit better,
they're likely going to keep voting for us. And the folks who are
learning from the volunteers who have been with the county parties for years and years
knocking doors and building relationships. We're bringing the next generation of voters
and volunteers and organizers who are going to keep building on to that power. We're the
campaign who's talking about not just winning but building power to make sure that working
class people have not only what they need but Wisconsin can be a place that's actually
affordable for everyone. This is the year of the many and not just the money. And we're bringing
the money and the many now. So again, brilliant, bold, brave, perfect person for a mass movement.
Okay. Where's the cheeseburnt emote? Okay, stop. Let's stop fucking around for a second.
But of course, because of that, the Democrats are terrified.
I said, establishing Democrats are fearful of the insurgent candidacies of Abdul El-Sayed
in the Michigan Senate and Francesca Hong for Wisconsin governor.
They tell us they fear these candidates will fall, will fail in purple states against the
Republicans in the general election.
Their policies are far too radical for the average person to vote for.
But right wing Dems, the establishment Dems, the corporate Dems actually fear is not that
they will fail, but that they will actually succeed.
They fear the success of the insurgent left candidates, especially in purple states.
They fear that the voters are waking up to the reality, that the actual electable candidates
are the ones that will fight for something, not just put on a show against Donald Trump.
These are the insurgents that will center working-class needs over corporate profits.
This threatens the power of the corporate Dems that have controlled the party for decades
and allowed this country to be dominated by increasingly repulsive, far-right politics
that brought us Trump twice.
We say no more.
That is what these people are fearful of, okay?
They're attending Center for American Progress, these corporate lobbyists that have tightened
their grip of control over the Democratic Party after failure, after failure, will always
turn around and say, oh, you just didn't pivot to the center far enough.
You didn't go to the right far enough.
You didn't go far right enough.
And that's only led to defeat.
And we know that that has led to defeat.
We've seen those defeats, but we've always known that that was a defeatist strategy.
But what's really bad for the center right of the Democratic Party is that now more and
more voters in the base of the party are aware of it.
They have a real appetite, a real hunger for this change.
They want to see this change, and they now believe that the electability argument does
not favor the moderates.
The electability argument does not favor those who are backed by corporate PACs.
They now recognize that Bernie was right.
That's huge.
That's why I say there's a real appetite for this change and a real opportunity for
us to make that change happen.
Okay?
Why would they have Gordio New York City DSA coach here on Fox News and not you?
Wait, what do you mean? He's uh, he's great. The fuck?
He's the New York City DSA coach here, of course, they're gonna have him on why would they have me?
I'm a random fucking guy
Anyway, but in that endless panic, the establishment is trying to whip together a viable candidate
potentially.
You are blaming the centers too much.
Shut up, MacJibbon.
The centers have controlled the Democratic Party and the Republican opposition for decades.
single thing that has happened, whether it be the ratcheting to the right, whether it
be a lack of real change that comes when the Democrats do win, it's all the responsibility
of the fucking centrist because that it's been their party for the longest time and
the voters have had enough.
So of course they want this change.
What sucks for them is that we actually do have the ground game.
We do have the logistics to be able to show that we have viable alternatives now.
That's what sucks.
That's why they're dumping boatloads of money into these fucking races.
That's why they're panicking right now in Wisconsin.
They're not panicking because they're worried Francesca Hong is going to win the primary
and then lose to the Republican.
They're panicking because Francesca is going to win the primary and then win the general
and be another Zoran Mamdani.
That's what they're worried about.
They're worried not of our failure but of our success.
That's what they're worried about because that success
breeds more demand.
It breeds more confidence in good governance.
It associates good governance with democratic socialism.
They do not want that.
It heightens the contradictions.
It exposes the duopoly that exists.
It exposes the uniparty attitude that for far too long has dominated American politics.
If you ratchet the Overton window back to the left, all of a sudden there's a real competition.
All of a sudden it's no longer every four years where voters vote on who's going to dominate
the working class, but dominate the working class in a gateway or dominate the working
class in an anti-gay way, but instead, who is going to actually fight for the working
class?
That is a real alternative.
That's what they are worried about, the viability of a real alternative.
What they're worried about is the threat of a decent alternative, a decent politics that
centers the working class, that doesn't simply try to appease them with marginal improvements
they promise that they never carry out. Okay? That's the real panic that's
setting in right now. Luckily, they are they have grown fat, tired, and
incompetent over decades of failure. Breaking news from WTMJ Milwaukee County
executive David Crowley plans to relaunch his campaign for Wisconsin
governor on Saturday, unless something dramatic happens. His team is also urging former lieutenant
governor Mandela Barnes to drop out of the Democratic primary. Mandela Barnes is matched
up against Francesca Hong right now. Mandela Barnes is positioning himself in the Mallory
Mallory McBorrow, Goldilocks zone, eating a little bit of Francesca Hong's progressive
base and then trying to position himself as the candidate for the moderates, okay?
Remember, that's what they're trying to do.
Mandela Barnes is trying to position himself in that Goldilocks zone, but as we've seen
with Mallory McBorrow in Michigan, that zone is actually devastating to be in because you
You could easily be seen as far too progressive for the centrists, and far too radical for
the centrists, and far too compromised for the progressives, as Mallory McMorrow positioned
herself in that dangerous zone, and her campaign cratered as a consequence of that.
The cries for Mandela Barnes to drop out in this race is kind of stupid considering that
Crowley was underperforming in the polls, didn't have any support whatsoever.
And at least Mandela Barnes has like some level of viability.
Okay?
Unless Barnes collapses or drops out, Crowley's return will split the moderate vote again and
put Hong on the driver's seat.
There's also a chance the organizer to stop her pushes more voters to her side.
We've seen that dynamic with insurgent candidates before.
That's right
That's what we're looking at right now and and I'm glad I'm glad that they there are more invested voters now more than ever before
Okay
More invested voters that don't just go along with whatever the fucking Democratic Party is telling them to do and instead making up their
own minds and demanding more
But yeah, it's gonna, it's gonna get tough. Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley will
officially re-enter the race for governor tomorrow and it's likely that he is going
to get endorsed by the outbound governor, Evers, okay?
So it will be tough.
my commentary, my criticism on establishment Democrats, uh, consolidating support behind
a, an establishment candidate because they're terrified of a Francesca Hong victory is of
course, pissed off all of the most annoying fucking losers on this platform. I believe
Maddie Iglesias had a take on it. I don't know if he actually, uh, dignified me with
a quote, retweet or instead simply screenshot of my tweet again, but it's mostly just this.
Now I think establishment members are just afraid of unelectable socialists throwing
close elections to the fascists and dooming us all.
No, they genuinely fear them because they'll lose, which is why Republicans are propping
them up.
No one fears you or your far left dipshits.
We just wish stupid people would stop getting elected so democracy continue.
Yeah, there's a real, there's a real shelf support from the far right, the right-wingers,
and also the center right of the Democratic Party.
great. Francesca Hong had this to say. She said, I want to thank Sarah Rodriguez for
putting herself forward and for her years of dedicated service at Wisconsin. I know
this was an extraordinarily difficult and disappointing situation. I wish Sarah her
family, her supporters and her campaign team well. Sarah has contributed a great deal to
our state and I know she will continue working to make Wisconsin a better place. I also want
to recognize the union members and working families who supported Sarah's campaign, their
commitment to fair wages, safe workplaces and strong public services, and the freedom to
organize the essential to Wisconsin's future. Those values are also central to our campaign.
and to the work ahead what the fuck is this remote viewing she remote viewed
who really runs the world Elizabeth April NDE journey some insightful
spiritualism who really runs the world conspiracies aside no thanks chatter I
think I'm not gonna do that because I'm currently remote viewing the real world
and
My beef in this circumstance is not with Tony Evers.
My beef in this circumstance is with the centrist forces that are activating Tony Evers to go
out and consolidate support behind a weaker centrist candidate because they're worried
about an actual resilient movement being built in Wisconsin.
I do not have any fear that Francesca Hong will lose the general.
Okay?
If I did, I wouldn't endorse her.
If I did, I wouldn't fight for her.
There are plenty of unserious candidates that have, you know, tried and failed to get my
attention, right?
I believe that Francesca Hong will not only win the primary, but she will also win the
general.
And not only will she win the general, she will fight for her constituents in ways that
an establishment Democrat never could.
She will be able to build the resilient backbone of a strong oppositional force against the
growth of fascism in this country.
Okay?
That's it.
That's it.
I don't want a Republican to ever win another election ever again.
And unless we create a viable alternative, a real opposition to these nefarious malignant
forces in American politics, there will always be a two-year or a four-year trade-off or
a six-year trade-off, okay?
Where power exchanges hands and people grow disillusioned and more and more apathetic
voting for any candidate whatsoever. That is how we got to Donald Trump. I want
that to change. Madaglacius gets paid to ensure that that change never takes
place. That's the difference. I don't want a strong Republican Party. I want no
Republican Party.
Yeah, no one is less moderate than moderates by Ezra Klein from 2015. This is still, this
is still real. The statistical mistake behind the myth of the moderates. I mean, this is
something that Michael from Pennsylvania has talked about quite a bit. I've talked about
this quite a bit as well. This is one of the biggest, one of the biggest misconceptions
in American politics, and I think it's a deliberate misconception, it's one that is weaponized,
right?
The idea that the moderates, the self-described moderates, are actually moderate from the
the perspective of the majorities like the voters. They're not. No one thinks being pro-LGBTQ
while simultaneously being anti-Medicare for all is a moderate position. The average voter
looks at that and either hates that you're anti-Medicare for all, the overwhelming majority
get annoyed that you're anti-Medicare for all, or they look at that and they only think
you care about gay shit, okay? You can be pro LGBTQ and also pro Medicare for
all. That is a popular position. Because Medicare for all is the popular
position. You have to give people something and then in exchange for the
thing that you're giving them, you have to tell them, look, other people are
gonna take advantage of these services too. You can't complain about that. Do you
want this fucking service or do you want to go with the guy that will tell you
You don't get to have health care, but neither does the undocumented migrant. You don't get to have health care
But neither does the transgender person. You don't get to have health care, but neither does the black person
Now some people will still turn around and say, okay, that's fine. I hate my life
I want to kill myself and I want everyone around me to also feel a fraction of the pain that I experience every day
I'm going with the bad guy. I'm going with the guy that says I don't deserve health care
But they will stop and make sure they will stop black people from getting health care, too
There are people like that out there. Okay? There are people who will say,
I choose cruelty. But there are far more people that will choose the
universality behind those principles. There are far more Americans out there
that'll go, now of course I want everyone to have health care. Sure, maybe I don't
really like gay people. Maybe gay people weird me out. Maybe trans people weird me
out a little bit. But honestly, I like health care a lot more than I hate
trans people. I'll tell you that much. Okay. This is what I always explain to people like
racist people, transphobic people, hateful people, they still need shelter. Okay. That
is a primary need. Racist people, transphobic people, hateful people, bigoted people, they
also need healthcare. What do you think is an easier sell? You're going to shut the fuck
up and you're going to stop being transphobic and we're not going to give you anything different
than the Republicans? Or is it better to simply say, look, everybody gets to have this stuff
and you can't complain, but in exchange for not complaining, you are going to get health
care. You are going to get housing. You are going to live a more comfortable existence
that you deserve.
That's it.
That's it.
I'll give you one area
where
people don't make this calculation regardless of their social conservatism.
Labor unions, okay?
You think every rank and filer in the UAW
is a fan of how woke Sean Fain is? No. But they love him as a leader. You want to know
why? Because he fights like hell for those fucking contracts and they trust them for
it. Because he has materially improved the lives of every rank and filer. That's how
this works. So they don't give a shit when voting comes around. They don't care that
And they might have disagreements with him on certain issues, okay?
Because what matters is the money that they're getting in exchange for a better contract.
What matters is the better benefits that they're getting.
What matters is seizing back their productive output piece by piece.
They make this calculation all the time in labor unions.
The opposite side of that takes place with Sean O'Brien, the leader of the Teamsters.
You think every fucking Teamsters rank and filer loves that Sean O'Brien went to the
RNC?
No, they don't.
I know many Teamsters.
They don't like it at all, but it doesn't matter.
As long as he gets those UPS contracts, that's what a leader is supposed to do.
And that's what we are supposed to do.
That's what we are supposed to do as well.
If you fight for your constituents, if you fight for those who you are elected to represent,
that's all that matters.
There's always going to be disagreements on social issues, there's going to be disagreements
on economic issues as a matter of fact.
But you are far more likely to see that not as a trade-off at all, but as, you know, I
guess an unfortunate disagreement that you have if you are fully confident that that
person will fight like hell for you.
That is what Abdel Al-Said is promising to Michiganders, and that is precisely what Francesca
Hong is promising to people in Wisconsin, okay?
So by the way, Melot is supposed to be here in a little bit, I think in like 10 minutes
or so.
And then, you know, we'll check in with her and see how she's been touring the country.
And you know, talk to her about all of the events that are unfolding.
this? This video also shows why it's important not to write people off, but if you only watched
the first 10 seconds you might conclude this guy was a magothug who could not be persuaded on
anything, but he listened and he thought and he went, hmm, okay, I'm not so sure anymore. Yeah,
I know, but you know, that guy is, that guy's a tough sell.
What is this?
Also, you're not truly pro LGBTQ unless you're pro Medicare for all because being anti Medicare for all means you're pro lock and gay and trans people often times life-saving like healthcare behind a paywall. Yeah, I mean across the board.
This data for progress poll actually brings that up. The Democratic establishment is out of step with the Democratic voters.
Democratic voters with Democratic voters on DSA. Despite the cost cast from the White House,
there is a lot to be excited about in Democratic politics. Data for progress was proud to be
the only pollster that forecast both the recent upset primary challenges to Democratic incumbents.
First, Dario Eliza Avida, Chevalier's victory in New York 13th, and then Melot Kuros' victory
in Colorado's first congressional district, as our polling is consistently found over
the last year. Democratic voters are fed up with the status quo. They want candidates
will restrict military aid to Israel and take on the bad actors who they think are ruining our country including billionaires and corporate landlords
Both a bit of Chevrolet and Keros are members of and endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America
Naturally these insurgent victories prompted several meltdowns among centrist Democrat pundits a one-year-old Democratic strategist James
Carville whom people apparently still interviewed who suggested it's time for a schism in the party because DSA has no place in the coalition at the
At the same time, members of the Democratic establishment have insinuated that DSA candidates who are critical of that establishment should not be allowed to compete in Democratic primaries.
What is this? Someone is cosplaying you as their favorite streamer. Love you and I really appreciate you and all you do, Solidary Forever.
Yes, I saw, dude. I saw. I saw.
Instead of cosplaying, instead of cosplaying my, my attire, he should cosplay my mentality,
my ideology, and also cosplay, you know, not being a piece of shit, that's what he
should be cosplaying. Also, people wear fucking suits all the time. I don't think I'm not
gonna take fucking credit for destiny wearing a goddamn suit dude come on
it's not that different than people being like huh you copy Nick Fuentes like
he invented wearing suits if anything he's trying to cosplay Zoran probably
I'll admit that I was doubtful the essay was ready to seek a swing seat
governorship, but the Hawn campaign has already taken full advantage of the
national environment, Wisconsin's progressive base, and a particularly weak
split field. The sitting LG is broke and the former Lieutenant Governor is
trailing. This parallels New York City's Marrow Race where a slew of credible
liberal candidates had a decent shot on paper but never garnered any momentum and
had the win taken out of their sales by Zoran. And as McMoron approved, primary
voters aren't looking for middle ground candidates right now. Yep. This was
before Sarah Rodriguez's campaign collapsed so hard that she had to drop out.
X-Pest and he's trying so hard to ride your Wave LeMau why you let him ride for free with the fuck you so stupid sometime?
Ride what wave?
He is a known fuck it he's a known sex pest and an ultra Zionist
who is literally on the losing end of these primary battles over and over again because he's positioned himself as like the anti-me.
He's also far too repulsive for even some of the biggest demons in the Democratic Party to like openly align with I mean
He's probably made some inroads with like the bulwark people or whatever
But ultimately most people find him to be a repulsive monster
He's trying to be you now dude wait be me by what?
Going in fucking trying to endorse and rally around establishment 85 year old ultra Zionist Democrats
I
Time to ignore everyone everything is honest talking about because someone mentioned my parasocial drama obsession. Yeah
Yeah, what do you think what do you think he's gonna have anything he's gonna go to fucking Michigan and be like I love Haley Stevens
Is that what you think no, he's just gonna keep fucking chirping from his home about
How how awful I am and hope that his fucking cult doesn't recognize that he's not actually moving the needle in any way shape or form and
and that his entire worldview has basically been reduced to criticizing every little thing that I do
and trying to negatively polarize me against them, against his audience.
I wonder if that's the suit he's wearing to his court cases.
Let's move on. We're talking about serious shit. Okay. I'm no better than him. If I just fucking end up spending any deal of time as he does with me every day, I'm the only content that he discusses on his broadcast. We talk about the news. We talk about a movement here. We don't, we don't fucking talk about random losers on the internet.
in it.
All right.
81-year-old Democratic strategist James Carville, whom people apparently still interview, suggested
it's time for a schism in the party because DSA has no place in the coalition.
At the same time, members of the Democratic establishment have insinuated that DSA candidates
who are critical of that establishment should not be allowed to compete in Democratic primaries.
At a time when we are up against a fascist president in a party that wants to actively
intervening in the upcoming interim elections to maintain their power. It's
undemocratic and hypocritical for Democrats to intervene in their own
primaries by attempting to quash the DSA. And at a time when most voters have a
negative view of the Democratic Party establishment, it's also a bad strategy.
And yet another example of the status quo establishment being out of step with
the will of the Democratic voters. A new data for progress poll finds that strong
majority of Democratic voters and Democratic-leaning independents, 61%
think DSA should be allowed in the Democratic Party, while a mere 16% say
And it should not.
This is consistent across ideology with very liberal, somewhat liberal, and even moderate
Democrats saying, DSA should be welcomed by double-digit margins.
A strong majority of Democratic voters believe DSA should be allowed in the Democratic Party,
of course.
Furthermore, data for progress and new report on swing voters finds that swing voters respond
most strongly to populist economic policies championed by progressives and
DSA candidates raising tax on the wealthy establishing a Medicare for all
healthcare system and banning AI from setting prices or wages based on
personal personal data oh wow look at that shocking our platform is
unbelievably popular
And it's only going to get more popular anyway here's a fun little story.
Before we get to who do you support age 18 to 24 according to Harvard Harris poll.
mas sixty percent is real forty percent

they also told me i'm too old to be jen z
i said you are on

Can we teach us on how to hit depth?
You'll be hearing from my lawyers.
Slander.
Slander, libel, defamation, lies, all expected from these communists, manipulating the public
with their pie in the sky idealism
that's why
we need
moderates
in every seat
okay
i got slandered so hard on shanna watz now

Hello.
My guest is here.
Hong appeared on piger show in late June.
Okay.
Let's just, you know what?
Let's let me let me get set up because I have to set some stuff up right now, but yeah
here let's play this one you don't want to abolish the senate the united states senate
because that's what article one is the united states senate is an undemocratic institution
it gives more representation to people in smaller states than to the 39 people in California.
You've got the House of Representatives, which is population-driven, and then you've got the Senate.
So every state, if you're a small state, you still get two senators, even though you only
get maybe one congressman, in order to make all of the states have fair representation.
So you say, I'm just confused. When you ask normal Americans if Congress and the Senate
and our political system is working for them.
Most people are very unhappy with the political system,
and they say it's not working for them.
When we think about the 250th anniversary of the United
States and we think about our proudest moments in US history,
I think of times like when ordinary people rose up
and they changed the Constitution to abolish slavery,
to give women the right to vote.
Everyone's proud of that.
That's a nationwide pride in the country.
But back in those moments, those were considered
radical movements, because those people dared to say we need transformative change in the
United States.
And I think that we see-
Well, we struggle to become a more perfect union, but I just want to ask you again, do
you want to abolish the United States Senate?
Because you said you approve of Article 1, but then you said you didn't think the Senate
works.
We think that the Senate should be reformed, that we should have a more democratic government
system.
But that's a long-term change that we're seeking.
And in the short term, we're focused on issues like affordability, like freezing the rent,
which we've just done in New York, like creating a universal child care system, which we're
also taking steps toward doing, like fixing our energy grid.
and
hold on chat
Okay, all right, is it doubled up probably?
All right, there it is
Okay
Foxes should have helping these interviews I know I think so too
Is there's a there's a echo for now, but the echo is gone now right I fixed the echo
All right. Hold on. My desk is here.
Wait. Oh, you can, the mic is on. They can hear you. Hi. Okay. I know. It's a complex structure.
Well, here you go.
May I like here?
I'll say everybody.
She's in the building.
Hi, everybody.
OK, here you go.
How are you?
I'm doing all right.
I just got into town and very excited.
You're speaking at the College of Democrats
of America Commission.
Did you speak today?
I did.
Oh, you did?
How was it?
It was amazing.
It was so cool.
I mean, I just love talking to young people.
and especially all of these college students
that just organized this entire convention
for people from across the country.
It's just amazing, they're amazing, that was a great time.
So you were, I think, you were endorsed
by the College of Democrats, right?
Or no, you weren't.
Because I feel like there was someone from,
I think it was someone from the College of Democrats
of America that came up to me at your,
or maybe it was something else.
But you were endorsed by the Democrats
and that you were endorsing the convention
as a person to mention
they'll call it an endorsement but yeah we want to mention yeah you want you want
to come back to the democratic party back to you
i would say that i'm proud so colorado really sensitive when it comes to
endorsing okay explain it to me
uh... a lot of colorado delegates
were burning supporters and after all the like mess that happened
uh... the state party passed the rule basically saying
Um, the party has to remain neutral and that includes all of the, like,
counterparts of the party as well.
So the young Dems, the Denver young Democrats, the Colorado young Democrats
and the state party, the Denver County party, um, they just stay neutral.
Um, to make sure stuff like what happens to Bernie doesn't happen again.
Yeah.
I'm trying to fix the focus.
I figured that's, wait, can you move up a little bit?
Let's see.
Cause I don't know what's going on.
Okay.
Oh, this is better.
All right, perfect. I think this is better. Yeah, so cancel face focus on you? It's not.
Is it still? It's good now, isn't it? You're serving. You're serving so the camera's like,
it's messing up. The camera's like, I don't even understand. I look at this ugly man's face all
all day. Wait, let me see. Maybe I can do it here. Does that work? I think. Oh, God.
Okay. Yeah, you're serving the people. That's what I meant. Boom. So how's it been so far?
You've endorsed some other candidates as well. You've gone around the country. That's
been really good. It's been really impactful. I think it's like an important part of building
this movement. How have things changed so far since your victory?
Going out in public is a different thing now. It's amazing. It's so cool to meet a lot of
people that supported our campaign and you know a lot of people found this in like those
last couple of weeks when I wasn't really going out and about to begin with but I think
my favorite thing has been that like we've just had so many hospitality staff that were
We're supporting the campaign because I was a breaster and all the things and any time
I'm getting a cup of coffee or like having breakfast out.
It's just you get to meet voters and it's amazing stuff.
That's cool.
Is it Justin?
So you're you're you're clouded in dammers what you're saying.
Well, what about elsewhere?
Like are people stopping you in DC?
Because this is a town.
You're very dopey.
Oh, okay.
I was going to say this is a town full of nerds.
So there's going to be people who are like, oh my God, you won.
You defeated a, you know, 30 plus you're in company.
There you go.
Not yet.
Not yet?
They haven't.
Okay.
Because like when they were calling up they didn't say Congresswoman.
Did they not?
They didn't say that.
Didn't say anything.
They didn't say anything.
They should know.
They should know.
This was a historic victory for you.
They should be giving you your flowers.
I don't know what to expect from the college Democrats.
I don't even...
Do you want to hear something?
Okay.
Give me some free ball.
I mean, they just had some really cool speakers.
The chief of the Cherokee Nation went right before me
and I got to hear his whole speech
and it was absolutely incredible.
Apparently, the Cherokee Nation
donates more to the college Democrats
than the DNC and the DTRIP.
Yeah.
It was crazy.
Absolutely wild.
And then in my speech, when I talked about
the things that we're fighting for,
what could be better, healthcare, housing, little,
well, when I talked about ending our complicity
in the genocide in Palestine, it got a standing ovation.
So they're like just ready for people
that are gonna finally speak to the things
that young Democrats actually care about.
And they're great.
So, I mean, that's cool.
That gives me a little bit more comfort.
Cause I, you know, when I first,
when I first heard about this,
I saw that you were doing it.
So I was like, oh, okay.
So they're like probably chill.
But then at the same time, I was like,
I wonder if like, you know,
Nira Tandon is luring me here so that she can, you know,
drone strike me or something.
Like I'm just gonna go up on that stage
and then Nira Tandon's got hitters out here.
Stop it.
Yeah.
No, I don't know.
It's literally just an audience full of stuff.
I know, but there's a lot of,
like there's, you know, there's a lot of big donors
that are backing the convention.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so I was a little bit worried, but it's fine.
I mean, I'll take all of these opportunities
to speak to a large audience of people
who I think normally would maybe not hear from me,
or at least like, there are going to be people
in this audience that will then become staffers
for prominent, sometimes centrist Democrats, right?
So I think it's good for them to hear
from someone like myself and hear my perspective,
hear your perspective as well.
And-
Are you just speaking or are you doing like a-
I'm doing two things.
I'm doing a thing in the morning before I stream,
and then I'm going to deliver a speech right before the DNC
vice chair speaks, actually.
Yeah.
Which is, that's going to be, yeah, I think.
I'm not sure.
Wait, let me see.
I've got to look it up.
I'm not so sure.
But I think it's like me, and then maybe, I think, Kat,
I think, after?
I missed her.
And I didn't realize.
I thought she was going to be today,
that I would have seen her.
Yeah.
Are you out after today?
You're busy.
You're busy.
Tomorrow, I've got a canvas for a graduated income tax ballot
measure that we're trying to pass because Colorado is the only
state and country that has a taxpayer bill of rights.
And the only way you can pass a new tax
is by passing it via ballot measure.
And this tax would raise taxes on everyone making over $500k.
Is that good or bad, the ballot measure?
No one votes for one more taxes.
And so our tools, our infrastructure,
everything is just like really, really struggling
and they can't do anything about it.
Which is why when you renew your car registration,
you just see this like lit me of fees,
because that's like one of the only ways
that they can raise revenue without it upsetting everybody.
My bad, I just need to back again.
Yeah, no, it's fine.
But yeah.
I'm trying to stay out of focus.
So yeah, I'm gonna be heading back there
for a campus tomorrow morning.
That's cool.
What was I gonna ask you?
There is a bunch of stuff.
I mean, there's a lot of different races going around.
Are you, who are you excited for?
Who have you endorsed so far that you're excited for?
Every single JD candidate
and every single federally endorsed DSA candidate.
I'm lending my support in whatever way.
If any volunteers or staffers on any of those campaigns
wanna reach out to our campaign
about how we can help coming out
to join for a canvas or something.
Let us know.
I don't know, we gotta go in there
with as big of a coalition as we can.
And it's a numbers game at the end of the day.
So, the more folks we can help support
and phone bank for and fly out in canvas for, the better.
Have you seen some of the stuff that's going around
with the Abdel El-Sahed race and the Senate race?
Yes, I think.
There's a lot of consolidation of established Democrats,
like Howard Jim Clyburn recently endorsed Haley Stevens,
who obviously has gotten more than $50 million
in outside expenditures.
I believe close to $40 million of that
is just coming from APAC and APAC subsidiaries.
And the race is definitely heating up.
Abdul's still the front runner.
Yeah, he's still leading.
there was one poll that came out that was already a favorable poll from a newspaper
that had endorsed Hayley Stevens and had always shown Hayley Stevens over
performing in comparison to other polls that showed her above Abdul and then
everybody everybody yeah and then everybody leaned into that and then a
data for progress poll came out who famously got your race far closer than
anybody else including and also that area that he leaves as well and that data
for progress internal poll that was commissioned by I think one of the packs that showed Abdul
far ahead. Yeah, above 50% actually. So there's definitely a lot of excitement. There's no
ground game whatsoever for Haley Stevens, but I just wanted to, since you also took
out a, you know, what's up? Sorry, I was just like, it tends to happen where you don't have
the grand game when you're not running an inspiring platform.
Yeah, so what kind of advice do you have for a race like that,
even though obviously the demographics are very different?
But I wanted to hear, because I don't know what the final vote
tally looked like.
I mean, you killed it.
But did you see a lot of surprising support
from any particular demographic that you did not expect?
Like older voters is basically what I'm asking about.
Yeah, yeah.
We don't have the demographic data yet,
but the first drop, we were up, I think four points.
And that was supposed to be the older vote.
That's the older vote, yeah.
Everybody, you get to vote for three weeks
once the ballots are out, and young people
always vote in literally the last few days.
I literally always voted on election day
and was able to try and find my ballot drop box.
So for us to have been up in the first drop means that we likely
won a majority of older voters as well, which is not
what our polling was showing like a month or two beforehand.
But I'm really excited to dig into some
of the actual demographic data, because we still
have a general to win.
And I want to really reach out to some of the demographics
that we think we call.
Is there anyone running against you?
There is a Republican.
And then there is an unaffiliated candidate
who was really upset with my stance on Palestine
and on Israel and his running.
So he submitted signatures.
He submitted more than enough signatures that he needed.
So it's possible he's going to make the ballot.
We're still very, very, very favored to win.
But I don't know.
I think competitive elections are important.
So we still do put in the work.
Yeah, no, for sure.
It's never a done deal, as we've seen.
There's always hurdle after hurdle,
but I think it's important to take that victory
and then, you know, once and for all, solidify it
that Denver is now DSA territory.
It's captured by the Wilkes.
Yeah.
You've been captured, but now it's official.
No, for sure, for sure.
Now it's official.
DSA Denver is analyzing the data,
and we will be getting precinct level data on July 20th.
We'll have a report out on eventually on the race.
Yeah, so my suspicion and your early voter performance
actually confirmed it, is that the surprising factor
is not just the boost in the youth turnout,
which is constantly underestimated for obvious reasons,
especially in the primaries, like it's unheard of
to have young people go out and vote
in a Democratic Party primary,
because young people don't even vote in the general usually,
But the surprising overperformance, I think,
or the surprising performance comes from older voters
who also are carrying the same exact resentments
that young voters are feeling,
not just an anger towards the Republican Party,
which we all share,
but also an anger towards the Democrats as well
for their feckless ineptitude,
for basically losing to Trump twice, like simply put.
I think that was a real wake-up call for a lot of people that that made them realize that a lot of older lifelong
You know blue dog Democrats lifelong down ballot voters that looked at the situation and said, okay
We voted for the moderate sometimes we plugged our nose the vote for the moderate sometimes you believe the electability argument and voted for
The moderate, but this is not working us. Yeah, I mean again, I
I'll never forget the older voters that
would come to our canvases and talk
about how they've been fighting and protesting
the same stuff since Vietnam.
And just constantly seeing the party, the establishment,
the oligarchy doing all these things.
And these are folks that have been fighting for so long.
And frankly, they're just ready for young people
to actually take up the mantle and fight in the same way
that their generation did.
And we are.
And I'm really so proud to see young people.
I mean, you know, I personally really credit,
not all of it, obviously, there was just years
of activism and working, and decades of activism
from Palestinian activists themselves as well,
but like, when the students started protesting
and started doing those encampments,
like, it would have been unheard of if you told them
that just a few years later that a majority of Democrats
would have voted against a new drill,
any more military.
it was shocking to me. This has been a wild journey. I've been an advocate professionally
openly for Palestinian emancipation for the last 13 years that I've been doing this. And
back in the day, most people didn't know what Palestine even was. They thought, oh, Pakistan,
is that what you're talking about? They kind of knew Israel as the only democracy in the
the Middle East, and that was it.
But the idea that there would be this complete sea change
where there's a new Harvard Harris poll that just came out.
I want to get you in trouble.
You don't have to say anything about it.
I'm not even going to show an on-screen.
I'm just going to show you something that I saw.
This.
Yeah.
I mean, that's like, that's a, actually there's other stuff
in the Harvard Harris poll that are like very interesting
that came out that shows that it's not just young people,
obviously, it's like they're like across the board,
all demographics have completely turned.
Like the situation is turned on its head.
And turned in a direction that is more just,
like that's more honest.
It's just, for years and years, I think most people just didn't even consider this stuff at all.
And, let me see, where is it?
There was some interesting data that came out of it. Wait, did you get, you got attacked for collaborating with me.
I mean, we had the...
They canceled three of our venues.
Yeah, they canceled through the venues.
What do you say to candidates that might be fearful of an association at this point?
I don't think any of them are, but, you know, if there was any concern.
Because Tom Tiffany is now criticizing Francesca Hong for appearing with me.
Oh my gosh.
But it turns out, according to the Milwaukee Courier,
he appeared on a podcast with a host who made anti-Semitic remarks.
He, like it, it's just not...
Oh, he went on the quartering podcast?
No.
Oh my God, this story is so much funnier than I thought it would be.
This guy, his whole output, he's got no motion.
His whole output is just talking about how women ain't shit.
Look, woke Canadian attacks American and finds out.
It's all racial as a prop.
all just like woke women are nasty. Oh my god he got mad at Francesca. Well yeah
Tom Tiffany did once he once famously okay this guy this is so funny you
should not know who this person is just a fucking random like he's not even he's
not even like relevant in the Republican sphere but it's still really funny he's
a basement pisser he once got mad at his wife for going out without him I think
And then he just like pissed in his own basement sounds insane literally happened
I thought I thought basement as there was like a euphemism that you know, he peed in his own basement
Okay, um like actually
He has a he has a video out there when he was an IT guy
Teaching pedophiles how to hide their child pornography in their hard drives
Yes, insane
Oh
They you to me courage is this though practically you came in there like oh sweet. You're a great right winger
You're a valuable asset to the to the media
These are some love you counts. Yeah. Yeah, no, he's that's why I'm saying he's like also no motion at the same time
And then and then last but not least there's that one
I mean he made a career if you want to call it that offer just Brie Larson videos for the longest time
He would just do Brie Larson videos like all Marvel went woke
Fuckin' sucks, all this stuff.
And-
So there must be something-
Speaking of the real cars I'm gonna like,
by the way, yes, I'm teaching her game, okay?
I'm downloading, she's downloading
very important information.
And then the last thing I was gonna say is,
yeah, there it is, there it is, sweet,
come on, someone has to have it.
Someone send me the quarter pounder, there it is, sweet.
someone goes Hitler was like bad or something someone tweets out like Hitler
was fucked up and bad and this guy quote retreated went there it is like
defending Adolf Hitler oh cool cool cool yeah okay so that's his vibe yeah
no that's his vibe and that's the fucking that's the person who's podcast
that Tom Tom Tiffany who's the Republican on the on the Wisconsin
gubernatorial race aren't they trying to yeah look look look at this someone's
his fuck Hitler he quote retweets and it goes and there we have it yikes that's
like that's gonna be a yikes for me you unironically leap to defend Hitler you
have no rights to be yikes seeing anybody turd he was nominated for a noble
piece but there's no fuck of you ever done that's insane I think you don't
understand how bad it gets on the internet which is good you're normal
that's good you're you you went to law school you you know you were working for
a law firm see posting got you in trouble and then yeah so so you were like I'm
good I'm never posting and I posted that on LinkedIn of all places yeah that was
I think that when I first heard that I was like should I even work with this
person she posts on LinkedIn who the fuck I was responding to a letter that was
also posted on link who that you shouldn't even be on LinkedIn you should
not be reading anything on LinkedIn it was a nutty time it was a nutty nutty
time that's where everybody was posted you really needed an outlet you were
like what this is like not even a sub-stat you were like late that is
where I'm gonna make my mark I had to post it in the same place everybody saw
his letter okay yeah that was your biggest ally thing that's like that might
it was for other lawyers I'm not even kidding that won't be the only time
anyone's been canceled on post for posting on LinkedIn actually I mean I
think everyone was getting canceled when they were posting on there that was the
Batman composer she was responding to wait who or no the Batman composer
Oh, I don't know. I think they're just talking about.
Oh, no, this is a different guy. This is a different, this is a different weirdo.
You want to see it? You want to see how weird these guys get?
I'm scared, but...
Have you ever seen the Whatever podcast?
No.
Okay, this is a misogyny podcast, and when I say like, I'm not being like,
woke and being like, oh, there's so much I just like, they literally almost exclusively,
their output is just like having women on their podcast that they try to berate
at a berate endlessly and then they sometimes get owned by the
women on the podcast. This is one of those moments.
Charlie I just think honestly you're too stupid to understand
you want us to be the daddies and has been married twice
before and you under and you look like this.
That's his retort. This is like a 50 year old man.
no shame he said you lick sniz your religion you like sniz he doubled
down he was like that was such a banger I have to I must repeat I must repeat
you're gonna don't talk about my wife he's stupid
no it's because you're embarrassed and you know that the traditional values
that you try to sell to people at Bullshit because you are not a traditional man.
Love her. Yeah, no, that was that was awesome. That's amazing.
She's, Hasan, she's gonna see all this and ban the internet.
First bill. Do you know what? Okay, I have, I have a theory that I always share with people,
which is that some millennials are the only generation ever to not get more conservative
of as they get older.
I think that's because I consider myself a zillennial.
No, you're with us.
I am?
Yeah, you're with us.
I've been taking ownership over your millennial qualities
already.
OK, incredible.
Amazing.
My theory is that millennials grew up on the internet
during the Wild Wild West before algorithms were there.
And we had to sift through all of the complete and utter
nonsense that was on there and build critical thinking skills
on the internet in a way that old people and young
people right now do not have.
And therefore everybody is getting more conservative
because the internet is just a successful that.
Okay, so like when you were growing up,
there was like, have you ever heard of the concept
of like email chains, like the old people fall for?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I feel like that scam is something
that Gen Z falls for as well.
All the time.
But I think the difference is like,
you're an older Gen Z, so you went through
reformative years and then COVID happened,
as opposed to if you experienced COVID
when you're in high school, you're cooked.
No, I agree.
I do also think, I was on there early days of Facebook,
my space, there was literally no algorithm.
It was just you meeting your friends or your family
or new people, but you had to sift out
who was real and who wasn't,
and what was real and what wasn't,
versus now where you literally,
even before all the AI deepfake stuff,
you just can't really tell if you're not somebody
who had to figure it out for yourself beforehand.
Okay, there's one more from this guy.
Of course there is.
I'm supposed to look for the pickle jar?
So he challenges another female guest that he has
to opening a pickle jar.
He's like using numerous, like he's like he's got paper towels on there, he's just like
We gotta wipe it off, we gotta wipe it off, that's why it's not old.
Yeah, it's not old.
I can't breathe the water.
I gotta have a way to breathe it.
I gotta start to turn it.
Yeah, and then the producer comes in and just pops it out, pops the top open.
It's awesome.
Oh, my goodness.
Yeah, simple.
Bro, can you stop wasting this newly-liked-to-consolence time?
Dog, what do you mean?
We're just, you know, we're chilling.
Like, not everything has to be serious all the time.
Jesus Christ.
She already won a very contentious primary, okay?
She won a contentious primary.
She already got through this significant battle.
Okay, what is the strangest phone call that you've had so far?
Phone call?
Yeah.
Who has reached out since your victory
that you were like, damn, I had no idea?
And why is it that he came, Jeffery,
and I'm just kidding?
Stop it.
There's no one that surprised me.
All the expected people reached out.
Really?
Yeah, actually, what I'll say generally that surprised me
was that a lot more members, even some moderate ones,
reached out that I wasn't expecting,
which I really appreciate it.
I think everybody has been generally really kind.
And I think that is because the squad, AOC and Elhan,
they endured so much.
And because of the culture that they've built right now,
people are not nearly as awful.
So people have generally been nice so far.
That's good.
Have you ever encountered any Republicans yet?
In person?
No.
Not in person.
because they've been doing all crazy
all i know i didn't go crazy on the internet they're like
there are really not in colorado especially
oh really? yeah, yeah, they
i mean the governor literally just made a post talking about socialism
that's, well, he's technically not a republican
but, you know
he sounds to me, he's absolutely
he's not a republican, he's just getting republicans out of prison
for no reason
Just doing them some favors in there.
She's normal.
But yeah, no, they're fully on the communists
are taking over train.
And that Colorado, they're literally
starting one of the most popular conservative radio
show hosts in Colorado made a X article post thing
about why he's thinking about leaving Colorado.
He's going to escape Colorado.
He called it the most American thing you can do,
which is just going to run away.
See, that's what I'm like.
OK, so you don't have enough skin in the game.
No, you don't.
And I want it so badly to find a tweet of him commenting
on somebody else who said that they would get
this game to Canada when Trump won.
Because I promise you it's there.
Because it's like this, I mean, Trump has won twice.
And now this time around, this government is actively coming
after me.
And I'm still like, no, I'm staying here.
people are like you should probably you know find a safe haven I'm like no I'm
here I'm stubborn like that's what you're supposed to do what do you mean
you're not you're not supposed to escape Colorado to go these guys always do this
they go to late to get with Texas and then all the locals in Texas hate them
yeah because the locals in Texas like in place like Austin especially they're
woke yeah and then these guys come in and they're all like oh yeah I'm gonna
wear a big hat and well I guess Colorado is kind of like that too we do have a
Yeah, Colorado is like hippie, it's a version of an American that I don't normally see.
They're chuds, but they're also granola, they're crunchy granola chuds.
It's interesting.
Yeah, that's fair.
Yeah, they have like Gore-Tex sometimes, but then they also have cowboy hats.
Yeah.
This is weird matchup.
New Age Cowboys, yeah.
It's a special place.
Yeah, no, it's just beautiful.
And the food is good.
You thought so, right?
Yes.
Thank you.
I think Denver's gotten the bad rap for no reason.
Crashing.
Do you know what it is that we all can say for Denver
is that there is incredible food,
like the quality is absolutely there.
It might just not be in the quantity.
Yeah, I almost missed your election.
Well, I guess the first.
It was a long night.
I didn't even get to enjoy the party.
I was so bummed out. I ended up watching some of your stream afterwards and be like, oh, I wonder if everybody had fun
Yeah, no, it was they everyone's having a great time. You're gaslighting me the whole night. Yeah. Well the thing is I
Almost missed like the first I missed the first ballot drop
Because I was too busy eating tacos from this one. It was what is it? It was a I think it was Kikis
Yeah, it was like what was the chat chat will know
Chow will remember but it was really good. It was like I had a torta
And a and a Berea like with the one that you dip in the was it on the list. It was red taco
Yeah, it was it was deep deep gave me the list. Yeah
Yeah, but it was it was great
Kiki oh, yeah
Yeah, Kiki's red tacos. Yeah
It was excellent. Oh my god. I'm starting to get really hungry. No, yeah
but I needed someone else to recommend food for you because...
Because you don't know?
Well, I mean, I largely go to the vegan and vegetarian restaurant.
Oh, yeah, that's true. You're vegan, right?
Are you vegetarian?
I'm vegetarian till November.
My editor loves that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he does.
He loves the vegan caucus.
Yeah, wait, till November.
Yeah, because I'm still traveling.
And it's the traveling people.
Oh, oh, you swapped over.
Yeah, you swapped over to vegetarian for traveling.
but you're vegan normally.
How did you make that decision?
I never asked you that when you were running
because I didn't want to hurt your chances.
I'm dead.
It came from petty rebellion.
After I got fired, I was just doing a lot of research
on policy to try and figure out what I wanted to do next.
And I was reading about the health care industry
and how we're all just so sick.
And then all these doctors were just like,
we just need better diet and exercise.
and actually policy is where a lot of those things are made.
And then I was reading about the FDA and the USDA,
and just like all of these things.
And I was like, oh, this is all fucked genuinely.
And then also the environment.
So it was really petty to begin with.
I was like, I'm just going to do this to rebel a little bit.
And now I actually really, really love all animals
and creatures.
I can't even kill spiders anymore.
That's crazy.
I know.
Yeah, spiders, they're my ops.
If I see a spider, it's not there, I'm still not their friend.
I'm thrown. I'm thrown hands.
But I'm still going to ask someone to just cup them.
And, you know, why do they have to die?
Because I'm afraid of them.
Speaking of the FDA and also, you know, the health department in general.
Yeah, there's an explosive bout of diarrhea has taken up the entire country by storm.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
And they have yet to identify exactly what is responsible for it.
They assume he's shredded lettuce.
As a vegetarian, has this been difficult?
Has this been a trying time for you?
I honestly, you know, the other day,
I was thinking about getting Taco Bell.
And then I saw a tweet that they suspect it might.
What do you even eat at Taco Bell?
You just eat it in cheese, right?
Taco Bell is absolutely kind of a bit of a hate end,
especially if you get like fresca
for anything that you're trying to get.
And I'm vegetarian now, so I can still get the cheese
and the cream, but no, I mean, terrified mostly,
but I think everybody's scared
because that's where it's going from.
No, I eat a lot of lettuce too, but you know,
I've luckily, I've been.
Still here?
Yeah, I've been good.
Exposed to diarrhea, screw worms, orange smoke plumes,
drilling unprotected lands 100 degree days every day,
America's back, yeah.
And better than ever, stronger than ever.
Oh my God, someone said, someone I think is,
someone's got it.
Sorry buddy.
Yeah.
That sounds really rough.
Ask her if she trusts RFK Jr. with her lettuce regulations.
I don't trust RFK Jr. with anything.
Really?
Actually.
Me, but for different reasons.
Because he wears jeans to the gym.
And I find that to be ridiculous.
That was strange.
Yeah.
I don't get that.
But aren't jeans supposed to be more like?
Yeah, you can do stuff in jeans, for sure.
Like, it's supposed to be for more active wear, originally.
But we've evolved past the need for Jews in the gym.
And the thing is, surely you have better apps.
Yeah, this isn't like 1924, you know what I mean?
You can't.
I was trying to throw him a tiny little bell around.
No, absolutely not.
And to the pool, too, we wore it into the pool.
You wore it into the pool?
Yeah, one time with Kid Rock.
Kid Rock is the room.
God, I can't wait for this administration
to finally receive a little bit of accountability.
We're almost there.
Yeah, all right, so you delivered a speech to Colorado,
oh, not Colorado, the College Dams of America.
You've gotten some phone calls from people.
Have you talked with Diane to get since?
Yeah, she called on the morning after.
You see, she voted on the Massey amendment,
which was good.
Yeah, the whole Democratic Colorado delegation did.
Yeah, that was cool.
Yeah, I was happy to see it.
I do feel like your victory and the victory of other DSA and just Democrat candidates probably
played a little bit of a role in that because it's becoming like an undeniable force because
as much as I think a lot of the stuff for Democrats refused to reckon with the voters
and their demands, elections are a popularity contest and when they see that, they're like,
okay, we have to be more responsive.
100%
Yeah.
So that's good.
No, I agree.
when is the same thing, like what fueled our win
is the same thing that fueled them
into voting in the way that they did.
Like ultimately our victory was a reflection
of where the voters of this party actually are.
In a way that I think if they had one,
that would have been a signal to them that like, okay,
things are, we can still make these votes.
And they're still trying to desperately grab onto that
Because with Zon's victory also came Abigail Spanberger's
victory in Virginia and Mickey Sherrill in New Jersey.
And they were like, well, C, centrist Democrats
are obviously still very successful, very reliable,
very popular in purple states.
And what's interesting is, I have disagreements with them.
A lot of disagreements with them.
But at the end of the day, it's very clear
that they're trying to present a counter-narrative
to the best of their ability.
And so far,
Spanberger's popularity is cratered
because she's legislating as a governor like a centrist.
Yeah, 100%.
And people clearly don't.
This is not what the voters voted for.
What's that question?
People don't have appetite for that.
People don't want that at all.
So, you know.
All right, oh, last thing I wanna ask your take on,
have you seen this?
Mitch McConnell, have you seen him yet?
I, no, not for the quick.
You've been here, you've been at DC.
I cannot provide proof of his condition.
Okay. Mitch McConnell has been incognito mode.
Yeah.
He recently came out, the day that Lindsey Graham died,
he released the statement saying, I'm alive.
I thought everybody had the shared experience of someone telling them
that Lindsey Graham died and everybody was like, you mean Mitch McConnell?
Yeah.
Yeah, no, it was, you know, it was one or the other, it seems, but the Kentucky Governor,
Andy Beshar, warns he got called suggesting Mitch McConnell died, McConnell has posted
a video of himself.
Is that his public ring?
Yeah, he said, because he has demanded a proof of life.
Did he?
He did.
It was like three weeks in, but he finally 21 days in.
It's now been more than 30 days.
enough about Congress members that just disappear out of nowhere with no like no answer for it.
Yeah, it happens quite frequently because many of them are super old.
Yeah. And also it's just normal when they're not in their district. So like of the people who
maybe would identify that quicker. Yeah, yeah exactly. Despite recent evidence,
the contrary, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear isn't so sure that Senator McConnell is actually alive.
Speaking with journalist Katie Couric in an interview published on YouTube on July 15th.
I want to see if we can identify the time stamp here.
Beshear explained why he had requested a formal update from McConnell's office earlier this month
and his explanation of Beshear revealed that he had received information from multiple
of visuals indicating that the 84-year-old
Republican had passed away.
There's just no way. There's no way you can like hide a scandal like that
for that long though.
Yeah. Right?
Is the audio really bad?
Is it really echo-y chat? I don't know.
Can you add more echo?
Yeah. I have the worst fan base.
I swear to God.
You're spicy.
Yeah.
Not great. No.
I mean, no not at all. Okay, most people are saying it's fine. Oh, it was the video
Oh, that's why they were saying echo. Okay, now when we're talking when the video plays. Yeah, I know I
Know when the video plays it gets annoying Kentucky Center went missing for nearly a month. We know that I
Mean the fact that other people also said to him that Mitch McConnell might be dead is pretty fucking crazy
That is insane.
Yeah, that's American politics, though, you know?
That's the concern, though.
I don't get it.
Like, if he were to, because he's already said he's not
learning again.
I think there was a little bit of suspicion.
There's a little bit of worry that there would have to be a,
so because Kentucky has a woke Democrat governor,
They changed the state constitution
to immediately do a special election
in a situation like this.
Oh.
If like a, yeah.
So to ensure that the governor doesn't appoint,
to ensure that the governor, the woke governor,
doesn't appoint a Democrat.
And now there's a real problem
because Thomas Massie just lost the seat to APAC
and Thomas Massie could just come in on that special election
potentially make that a tough a tougher battle. They have a really slim
majority in the Senate, right? Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. Thomas Massey could be,
you know, he would be a problem for you know, Epstein related issues, Israel
related issues. Bashir said he may ignore that because it's unconstitutional
on a point anyway. Oh, that'd be beast mode. That'd be even better. We don't
I don't ignore some of the bullshit that Republicans have been pulling enough in my personal opinion.
Yeah.
But, you know, it's fine.
They're Mitch McConnell and Mitch McConnell.
Oh yeah, that's true. They are Mitch McConnell and Mitch McConnell.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, that's kind of easy.
Who knows?
I mean, I don't know. I feel like, I saw some of the folks that were saying that the picture of McConnell was like AI.
And I'm like, I feel like it was a real thing.
He looked real, yeah, but who knows.
It was also strange, his wife literally left for China,
I think like 24 hours after he was hospitalized.
Yeah.
And visited, very publicly visited the VP
of the Communist Party of China.
It's like, I go out to China and I pay out of pocket
the whole way and everyone's like,
oh, you're an asset to the state.
Meanwhile, the former congresswoman and the wife of Mitch McConnell literally flies to
24 hours after her husband may or may not have passed away.
And I guess there's no suspicion whatsoever there.
That's cool, I guess.
This is really cool.
Democratic Socialist top MAGA candidates among voters in CNBC's All America poll.
More voters will be more likely to support a Democratic Socialist candidate than a Make
America Great Again supporter or a candidate endorsed by President Donald Trump, the CNBC
All-America Economic Survey found.
The findings may allay concerns of centrist Democrats, but no, this is not going to happen.
I think there are some that are actually concerned, but I agree.
I think the party just doesn't want to give up control.
Yeah.
The poll indicates that even with a number of self-described Democratic socialists on
the ballot, Democrats will have the upper hand, hanging into a member's midterm election,
which is widely viewed as a referendum on Trump.
So here's the reason why I wanted to bring this up
and you already mentioned it,
is because there's this mentality
where some of the Democrats genuinely believe
that Democratic socialists are unelectable
and that they will lose to the Republicans.
I think that that's, I mean, I think it's hysteria,
but I think there's a genuine fear that some have,
even if it's silly.
But then, I think by and large, most of the consultants, most of the think tank people,
I think they don't care one way or another, or rather they're actually fearful of a Zoran
style success taking shape not in just deep blue dishes like yours, but also swing states.
That's the reason why I think that the real test here is going to be with Al Bilal Said
in French-esque Hong, not a test necessarily of their
electability because I do believe that they are, you know, far better candidates
than their establishment counterparts, but we will see how the Democratic
Party reacts hopefully after they win their primaries. Because I worry that
there will be some forces within the party that will try to, you know, make
sure that they lose that seat, like revoke support, not offer as many of the funding
vehicles that exist for races like that. So that's a real concern that I have.
Yeah, no, I think it's a valid one. And I think it's what happens anytime power is threatened
in any way. Yeah, which is why I love my state so much, because we went for Bernie
twice in our party. Our state party has always been very... And like it, we literally...
Well, Michigan is like that too though.
I mean, but that and that's the difference. Like state parties are different all across
the country. The national party, I don't know, we'll see what happens on that front as well.
But I think it's going to be really important for a bill to win and this primary, but even more so
for the general. Like I think that will be... I'm not so concerned with the party's ability to like
rick things. If we can prove to voters who have, I think, a sincere concern that maybe
Democratic socialists can't win, or Democratic socialists-aligned candidates can't win,
if we can prove that they can win and they can beat MAGA-esque type people.
Yeah. And especially in, you know, contentious seats, you know, Wisconsin is considered a
swing state. And so is Michigan, which I don't even think Michigan should be a swing state,
But the only reason why Michigan was a swing state
is because of establishment of Democrats,
but that's my theory that some would rather lose
to Republicans than to disprove their ideology
that Democrats can actually defeat.
Yeah, but then those aren't serious people.
Yeah.
All right, well, on that positive note,
Mayla Kuros, everybody, is there anything,
I don't know, is there anything you want to promote?
No, I don't know, maybe?
I mean, you got a general comment?
I'll promote Donovan, Corey, and Justin.
They were both coming up on some really important
primaries, I was just out in Detroit with Donovan,
I'm hoping to go down to Justin and Corey soon too.
Hell yeah.
They have to win.
They have to.
I agree.
And anything we can do to phone bank, volunteer,
just support them in whatever way that you can.
I'm gonna do anything that I can, they gotta win.
So I was like, congrats on getting a job.
Thanks.
It's the long route.
I'm really excited.
My first adult job in years.
Yeah.
All right.
Now I'm curious, everybody.
And last but not least, I am going to be live tomorrow at my regular time after I'm
done.
I have one like fireside chat style situation thing.
And then I'm going to do my regular stream.
And I will also livestream my speech from the College of Democrats of America, the National
Convention, and we'll have some wonderful, cool guests as well tomorrow that I'm working
on.
Maybe some DSA upcoming potential new mayor of D.C. and numerous others.
So tune in for that.
And that will be all folks.
Sorry, I'm doing a 5 hour and 30 minute stream today because I started late and I'm very hungry.
Okay.
All right. Bye.
