[00:03:00] Thank you for watching!
[00:03:30] you
[00:04:00] you
[00:04:30] you
[00:05:00] you
[00:05:30] you
[00:09:00] They'll have to compete with the Digital World World's new rising star, far-left activist, Hassan Piker.
[00:09:09] What I really want is whether its social media influencers are twitching YouTube like Hassan Piker,
[00:09:15] or other kind of promoters...
[00:09:18] ...who are saying a ways for Hassan!
[00:09:30] Not to us are free, until all of us are free!
[00:09:34] We must never forgot these lashes that take away all grace!
[00:09:53] We must always maintain revolutionary optimism.
[00:09:56] We must always continue to organize.
[00:09:59] We must always continue to agitate because the quicker we can create enough pressure that causes the American state to recalculate its suicide pact with Israel, the quicker we can save as many Palestinian lives possible.
[00:10:29] What's going on everybody? I hope everyone's having a fantastic evening, afternoon,

[00:14:06] Do you want better or one worse? I guess I am I went on his podcast instead
[00:14:13] Because he shoots out here. He lives out here. He shoots out here. So I went on his podcast instead
[00:14:22] And I did that this morning. I went to bed

[00:15:28] somewhere else big z defended you on the daily uh... the left way
[00:15:32] yeah i know i i i i listen to it there's some really good moments in
[00:15:35] that and then there were some moments where I was like, come on, dude, there was one moment
[00:15:41] where I genuinely was I like, I had to pause the podcast. Like he, he answered some of those
[00:15:47] questions in the most lived up way where I was just like, dude, what are we doing?
[00:15:52] Um, anyway, but we'll talk about it. There were some, some good stuff in there too,
[00:15:58] I got a brief mention in it as well, which is
[00:16:05] Interesting I guess
[00:16:08] But yeah, bro, these motherfuckers are not living in the same timeline as us look at that recovery speed. What is this?
[00:16:28] What the fuck am I looking at?
[00:16:45] What am I even looking at?
[00:16:46] Is this real?
[00:16:53] Is this AI?
[00:16:54] Is this fake or is this actually real?
[00:16:56] is a real thing that has taken place.
[00:17:03] Robots have that capability already.
[00:17:10] It feels kind of fake.
[00:17:12] I mean, I know robots
[00:17:16] like that exist, but I didn't realize they had that level of mobility.
[00:17:23] the
[00:17:34] the
[00:17:47] I can't tell if this is real or not what the hell what is happening bro
[00:18:17] Calm down.
[00:18:19] What the fuck?
[00:18:23] What the fuck is going on bro? Is this?
[00:18:32] What the hell?
[00:18:47] bro what the fuck is happening a streaming university dude
[00:18:58] wet ground
[00:19:04] wet ground nasty ass dormitory I feel like I'm fucking back in college
[00:19:12] Why don't you go teach them about socialism these these guys?
[00:19:21] Ludwig made them all MAGA I mean low-key Ludwig's class have been pretty good
[00:19:28] Agents class have been pretty good too. I've seen some bits and pieces of it
[00:19:43] Yeah, I don't understand what the fuck's going on that's very weird they are learning how to generate buzz
[00:19:58] I've never felt more 35 than I did right at this moment, I'm going to be honest with you dude. Don't do this in Sanchas going to get racist?
[00:20:06] What? Racist?
[00:20:15] I'm too old man. I'm too old for this. I just don't understand it.
[00:20:21] I don't know what the youths are up to, you know what I mean?
[00:20:24] I mean I
[00:20:27] Look at this stuff and I think to myself. What are the youths doing liar? You're 34 not for long
[00:20:36] About to be 35 in one week and exactly one week you're a newsman on a hauls to break this to you
[00:20:46] Yeah
[00:20:50] And to change the glasses
[00:20:54] what?
[00:20:55] Now, this shit works.
[00:20:58] Anyway, do you pull a Danny Glover from Legal WebEnum tool for this shit?
[00:21:11] Yes because I am.
[00:21:12] Hasan, you've been saying anti-black dog whistles this entire election cycle?
[00:21:22] What is that? What's the anti-black dog whistle?
[00:21:24] Oh, when you say establishment.
[00:21:27] Right.
[00:21:28] Because what you, what's so, very careful when you say establishment.
[00:21:32] Right.
[00:21:33] Because what you, what so many people mean and what Bernie Sanders absolutely means
[00:21:38] is black people.
[00:21:41] Yeah, no, that's not.
[00:21:45] That's, that's crazy. That's, uh, no, I think it means
[00:21:52] I think it just means establishment Democrats like I don't think I
[00:21:59] Think that's a that's not I
[00:22:03] Don't know how to respond to that. You know what I mean because that's like I feel like that
[00:22:08] That was concocted. That was a take that was concocted in 2016 in a laboratory did to one shot me I
[00:22:17] Feel like they came up with that take in a lab
[00:22:22] to just destroy me you know what I mean I encounter that take for the first time
[00:22:29] and it breaks me one immediately leaves me broken in a state of disrepair what
[00:22:36] the fuck is that bro our favorite dumbass agrees
[00:22:45] yeah I
[00:22:52] I feel like
[00:22:55] I want to I want to I want to take a controversial stance here and say I kind of celebrate
[00:23:03] Dare I say cherish the unique
[00:23:07] Uh and and creative ways in which
[00:23:11] the
[00:23:13] Right wing of the democratic party are fighting against this left flank
[00:23:17] I think most people would be far too embarrassed to say out loud.
[00:23:40] Have you seen this Haley Stevens?
[00:23:41] She's growing on me thing.
[00:23:42] Yeah, I saw it on my timeline.
[00:23:44] I didn't really have to my hear.
[00:23:45] Let me blast off real quick.
[00:23:46] I'm in DC.
[00:23:47] Iran kills two U.S. Serves member situation monitor, Michigan heats up, Wisconsin race
[00:23:52] shake up, College Dems of America conventions speech.
[00:23:55] Apparently, there's a lot of people who are mad that I'm even speaking at the College
[00:24:00] Democrats of America National Convention.
[00:24:04] But the College Dems of America are very chill.
[00:24:07] Wait, what?
[00:24:10] Danny Glover was 40 years old when he said, I'm too old for this shit when lethal
[00:24:14] weapons filmed.
[00:24:15] I'm too old for that shit, dude.
[00:24:19] I'm too old for this shit.
[00:24:21] Like literally, I'm too old to know about that.
[00:24:31] That's crazy.
[00:24:32] That's actually crazy.
[00:24:36] That makes me very sad.
[00:25:09] drama the fuck does that even how is he trying to kill me
[00:25:24] fox news put me in the thumbbo of this far-left Democrats winning over Gen Z
[00:25:29] incredibly infectious wait what the hell
[00:25:39] the
[00:25:52] internal poll. Anyway, we'll cover all that stuff. Don't worry. But, yeah, their cross
[00:26:07] tabs were released and it looks nutty. It's like Haley Stevens wins only if it's like
[00:26:13] Detroit Metro only Detroit Metro votes
[00:26:18] Okay
[00:26:33] Blow sounds tired I am bro. I didn't sleep that much
[00:26:43] The college Dems are all basically Hassan Abbey has a new kid running for Georgia College Dems is a Hassan Abbey head. Yeah
[00:26:51] No, I realized that now when I first got invited. I had no idea. I didn't understand what the event was like
[00:26:57] I didn't understand what the organization looked like, but they're all
[00:27:00] These are all like staffers and people
[00:27:04] that are
[00:27:05] You know college students and stuff that are all
[00:27:09] Trying to work within the Democratic Party, but they're all
[00:27:11] All that most of them are Hassan Avi has apparently
[00:27:23] Um
[00:27:25] Why'd you stream bro take a nap fire stream when it's time to IRL is Saturday fuck the news bro
[00:27:30] There's news happening though. We got to cover it
[00:27:32] Anyway, where was I? What was I talking about? I just blasted off. Let the people know we're
[00:27:45] live in a live chat. We'll do AOC speech at the Justin Pearson rally.
[00:28:03] If you checked out ahead in the office coverage of the Michigan race,
[00:28:05] Dave Deem, Haley Stevens, the plague bringer for the poof virus in three days of wildfire
[00:28:09] darkness. That's funny. I love head in the office. They're great.
[00:28:15] Yeah, this is the most cursed image I've ever encountered.
[00:28:21] Let's be real.
[00:28:23] Oh, I was playing this TikTok.
[00:28:28] Let's start it from the start.
[00:28:32] Very careful when you say establishment.
[00:28:34] Right.
[00:28:35] Because what so many people mean and what Bernie Sanders absolutely means is black
[00:28:41] people.
[00:28:42] So I've been meaning to talk about this for like a week and some change now, but I want to talk about the whole
[00:28:50] Democratic influencers saying like tweeting or putting on threads, whatever that using the establishment term and how like the
[00:29:00] DSA has been using establishment is really a placeholder for the n-word and you know who was up under them comments
[00:29:07] Jasmine Grockin
[00:29:09] You can't make this shit up. You can't make this shit up. I've been made videos like maybe it was like
[00:29:17] two three weeks ago at this point. Yeah, that's what we mean when we say Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are the establishment.
[00:29:23] Yeah. That's that date. It's crazy that they caught on. I can't believe it.
[00:29:31] You know what I mean?
[00:29:37] I can't believe it.
[00:29:39] The secret's out, I guess.
[00:29:45] Secrets out, folks.
[00:29:48] It's over.
[00:29:50] You can scroll.
[00:29:55] The reason why I have such issue with a lot of the Democratic politicians specifically the black ones is because they know what they're doing
[00:30:04] They're leasing out our identity our radical tradition our
[00:30:10] Revolutionary history they know they read the books they went to HBCUs
[00:30:15] They were the first to do this or accomplish that they were the fully black woman in their job or whatever the fuck
[00:30:21] They know what it is, but instead of using that position to turn back to community and
[00:30:27] hype up the things that are really central to our existence in terms of black people and
[00:30:33] pushing us forward and making sure our community is straight, making sure we have the programs
[00:30:38] we need, making sure that we are all being lifted up, they then turn that inward to
[00:30:43] enrich themselves and then market that back to you as if that's progress.
[00:30:48] The reason why these white democratic fucking influencers are coming on here saying, doesn't
[00:30:54] that sound like the n-word?
[00:30:57] It's because their position is being challenged by a more left, and that's, you know, in quotations
[00:31:04] a more left than them, option.
[00:31:06] Yeah, I mean, the other side of this argument is yes, literally.
[00:31:12] It implies that like, you know, Nancy Pelosi is now officially black.
[00:31:18] Like establishment Democrats are black, regardless of the fact that they're not.
[00:31:28] It's just crazy.
[00:31:30] Also saying this about DSA is really funny because like there aren't, there's like one
[00:31:36] white guy in the entire country that's running. There's literally one white man.
[00:31:48] Right? Am I crazy? I feel like there's how many, how many white guys are running as DSA candidates?
[00:32:00] Like what the fuck are we doing? What are we talking about?
[00:32:06] It's so strange.
[00:32:22] There are very few white men running on the DSA platform, DSA affiliated, or even
[00:32:32] like close to our politics in general, right? There's is mostly just is mostly
[00:32:40] black and brown women. So even on that front, it doesn't make sense. Not that
[00:32:47] it matters. What matters are the policies.
[00:32:51] But, I don't know, I just, I find it very odd, this argument, I mean, I'm glad she's
[00:33:07] ripping it apart, but-
[00:33:08] They're for people to choose for that are sticking to the strip.
[00:33:11] They're going on these platforms, and they're saying what their policies are.
[00:33:16] Someone sent me that OG video.
[00:33:18] very transparent, no hoops and dance parties and all of that extra fluff and shit. They're straight to
[00:33:27] the point. Affordability, climate crisis, taxing the rich, all of these things, universal healthcare,
[00:33:33] universal childcare. Things that people want to hear, things that people need, things that Trump
[00:33:38] ran on in order to get people to, you know, obviously vote for him that he obviously was
[00:33:45] lying about actually implementing because our lives are a flaming piece of
[00:33:49] dog shit right now. Democrats would rather punch left instead of actually
[00:33:56] having an effective strategy for any of the new upcoming elections that are
[00:34:01] happening. Midterms are in a few months. That's number one. Number two,
[00:34:08] 2028 is looming. And do you hear any who's going to be running for
[00:34:13] president. Have you heard something? Are they learning from their mistakes with last time?
[00:34:18] It doesn't seem like it. Literally, Cory Booker and a bunch of Democrats just voted against
[00:34:24] the bill that a Republican put up to the floor about, you know, ending funding for Israel.
[00:34:32] You have to be very careful when you say establishment, right? Because what you what
[00:34:37] So many people mean and what Bernie Sanders absolutely means is black people
[00:34:44] Especially from somebody who ran in a in two presidential primaries because presidential primaries are often decided by black voters in the south
[00:34:51] So when he talks about you know the establishment establish or whatever, whatever he's not talking about Debbie
[00:35:00] What
[00:35:02] Why wouldn't, why wouldn't anybody be talking about Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who literally
[00:35:09] carpet-bagged into a black district in Florida?
[00:35:14] Like these people are living on a different timeline, right?
[00:35:17] I mean, I had Elijah Manly on, Florida 20, a district that Debbie Wasserman Schultz
[00:35:22] carpet-bagged into, she absolutely is an establishment Democrat.
[00:35:27] What the fuck are you saying?
[00:35:30] God, these fucking grifters, man. They're not even trying hard.
[00:35:39] Yeah, also, Bernie ran against Joe Biden, who's the other contender, the establishment contender, and Hillary Rodham Clinton.
[00:35:46] Okay?
[00:35:50] Reminder that under the desk person was a Romney voter and is non-binary, non-Bidenry.
[00:35:56] the black voters in South Carolina who did not like him and that you know I
[00:36:01] thought I thought that person was chill why are they agreeing with this
[00:36:08] nonsense
[00:36:11] It don't make no dang sense.
[00:36:23] Yeah, by the way, it is very odd that CBC is staying out of the Florida races, including
[00:36:29] Florida 20.
[00:36:32] Ha
[00:36:37] Even people on the left or left of the party will start talking about like well
[00:36:41] Maybe black people have too much power in the party. Maybe black people. When have I ever said that?
[00:36:47] Literally when have I ever said that?
[00:36:57] That's crazy I
[00:36:59] I
[00:37:01] Hope get multiple black people elected in the primaries so far
[00:37:06] No white people so far not one. You know what I mean?
[00:37:11] Not a single dang white person. I guess maybe one DEI white guy in the New York City DSA slate
[00:37:18] And he's Jewish and he's gay
[00:37:21] But that's it
[00:37:23] I think it's like.
[00:37:27] There are faces like what.
[00:37:30] People on the left are left to the party will start talking about like well maybe black
[00:37:33] people have too much power in the party like people have like.
[00:37:42] Who the fuck is Amanda Nelson.
[00:37:43] I have no idea.
[00:37:48] Brad Lander is gay.
[00:37:49] I didn't, I didn't work with the bad Landon campaign.
[00:37:52] I'm talking about Oliver, I'm not Oliver Larkin, sorry, fucking, no, New York City, DSA Slate,
[00:37:59] not, Brad Lander's not on the DSA Slate.
[00:38:02] No, not Oliver Larkin, sorry, Oliver Larkin is another white guy, but he's not gay, David
[00:38:07] Orkin is who I'm talking about.
[00:38:09] Also, Oliver Larkin, David Orkin, what the hell's going on?
[00:38:19] Brad lander is not even in the in DSA any longer. I'm talking about David Orkin
[00:38:29] To it I've seen people on tiktok say that
[00:38:33] You've seen people on tiktok say that I think black people have too much power. That's crazy
[00:38:40] Okay
[00:38:41] What if people on tiktok were like saying you're a pedophile would that make it the case?
[00:38:46] You know what I mean? If I ran around saying stuff like that that would be an insane
[00:38:52] That'd be an insane thing to just claim right? Oh, I've seen people on tiktok say that the fuck I
[00:38:59] Can't believe she just said my source tiktok
[00:39:07] Shut up
[00:39:09] because when black voters
[00:39:11] have
[00:39:12] More power in the party and more power and politics in general
[00:39:16] That is the boat that raises all ships because they vote for progressive policies that benefit their communities and therefore everyone else
[00:39:22] Bernie's try and his friends are trying to come at it from the what is this angle that like Bernie Sanders
[00:39:27] The policies are just not progressive. Is that what the argument is and the and the and the reason for it is because
[00:39:35] Like black people in the primaries didn't vote for Bernie is that
[00:39:40] like that's how we
[00:39:42] I this is such a strange argument to make
[00:39:47] We have we've moved beyond standpoint epistemology. Also, this is such a this is such a nasty way to do commentary
[00:39:57] What a cynical application what a cynical cynical application of of is the most hollowed out version of of shallow identity politics
[00:40:09] That's crazy
[00:40:12] For the longest time, black revolutionaries, black radicals, and the entire civil rights
[00:40:24] struggle was determined to be communists, right?
[00:40:28] By right-wingers, by republicans, by racists, by white supremacists.
[00:40:32] That was the whole meta.
[00:40:35] Now, you got liberals claiming every black person is monolithic in their approach to politics
[00:40:44] and they're all invested in neoliberalism, but by virtue of black people voting for
[00:40:49] establishment Democrats, that means establishment Democrats are the most progressive.
[00:40:53] It's just like so strange.
[00:40:55] How about people are not monolithic?
[00:40:59] How about there's definitely a generational divide with voter participation in every demographic
[00:41:06] and certainly in the black community as well.
[00:41:12] And that's pretty much it.
[00:41:27] The civil rights movement wasn't made out to be communist, it was just communist.
[00:41:30] I mean, there were different elements in it.
[00:41:31] You know, obviously the biggest advocates were primarily socialist, communist and the
[00:41:40] like.
[00:41:41] Yes.
[00:41:42] The Black Panther Party, MLK was a socialist.
[00:41:51] Not that it matters.
[00:41:52] I mean, it's just not.
[00:41:53] That's just such a strange thing.
[00:42:04] The other direction that my white working class populism
[00:42:07] will raise the ship of civil rights in this country.
[00:42:10] And that is fucking delusional.
[00:42:11] It's delusional.
[00:42:12] That has never worked as the same shit Woodrow Wilson said.
[00:42:16] And we've got the resurgence of the Klan.
[00:42:18] to
[00:42:21] There's no way she believes this right she's just getting paid for right a white woman quote tweeting a black woman saying this is peak Twitter. Yeah
[00:42:31] Yeah
[00:42:33] Audrey saying they're rat fucking doctor. I'll bill else. I had the way they refuck Bernie Sanders 10 years ago here
[00:42:40] Reflecting refers to allowing black people to vote
[00:42:44] It's awesome
[00:42:48] So, what's going to happen eventually, like, you know, the more black voters move in the
[00:42:58] direction of the insurgent left flank, as we've seen already, at that point, what is the establishment
[00:43:05] narrative going to be?
[00:43:09] What's their narrative going to be then, that like all the black people that are
[00:43:14] voting for socialist candidates or self-identify as socialists, or just not.
[00:43:20] Like, Sri Thanadar in Detroit is a great example of this, right?
[00:43:24] Donovan McKinney's is, Detroit is a very black district.
[00:43:28] Donovan McKinney is running against Sri Thanadar.
[00:43:32] Sri Thanadar is Indian, of Indian descent, of Indian background.
[00:43:39] Donovan is black.
[00:43:40] Donovan also happens to be the DSA endorsed candidate and yet, Sretanodar has flood the
[00:43:48] market with a barrage of ads and he's actually, you know, performing decently well regardless
[00:43:55] of the fact that he's a pretty weak candidate, right?
[00:43:57] It's supposed to be super weak candidate.
[00:44:01] And there are a lot of black people in the district that are, you know, seemingly
[00:44:05] in favor of voting for Shri Thanadar over Donovan, who himself is black.
[00:44:10] So what is that, how does that calculation work in that situation?
[00:44:14] Does that mean Donovan is no longer black and Shri is?
[00:44:19] How does that work?
[00:44:21] I'm asking sincerely, is Donovan no longer black, but Shri is because he's the establishment
[00:44:28] Canada he's the pro-Israel candidate
[00:44:35] Gotta think before speaking are you telling me that or you tell him that lady
[00:44:39] that
[00:44:45] we already watched this unfold with Haley Stevens versus Andy Levin or Andy
[00:44:51] 11, sorry. Okay? Haley Stevens is not Jewish. Andy is. A-PAC backed Haley Stevens to the
[00:45:00] hilt in the same way that they are right now in the Senate race. To defeat Andy Levin,
[00:45:06] who is Jewish. Stop listening to these fucking weirdos. Okay? They don't get to dictate
[00:45:16] who's black who's not black they don't get to dictate who's jewish who's not jewish
[00:45:23] is such a strange way to do politics
[00:45:29] your blackness or your status as a jewish person is not determined by how comfortable or uncomfortable
[00:45:38] you make the establishment no one in the real world behaves like this is just these weird
[00:45:46] centrist, candidate-backed, campaign-backed, DNC-backed, losers that try to present a
[00:45:55] stupid argument like this.
[00:46:04] It's ridiculous. Folks on the policies first and foremost. Okay? I think she
[00:46:14] might not be why not nitpicking bottle on you to get yelled at
[00:46:18] what the the
[00:46:20] account
[00:46:22] this account
[00:46:26] this account this person on white
[00:46:34] alice pool
[00:46:44] are you sure
[00:46:49] What are they like like Italian
[00:46:54] What is
[00:47:01] No, Amanda Nelson, I'm not calling Amanda Nelson white. I don't know who Amanda Nelson is I didn't say she was white
[00:47:10] Where did you get that from
[00:47:14] the
[00:47:33] Anyway, uh, yeah, that's crazy, man. That's actually crazy. I mean, this stuff is so silly,
[00:47:45] so stupid. I don't think any real person believes this shit.
[00:47:48] And we're still having these conversations. And instead of those Democratic influencers
[00:47:56] talking about the issues with the candidates, they'd rather stand them and create these whole
[00:48:01] weird-ass dichotomies around the race instead of trying to support what the
[00:48:06] people actually need and what the people actually want, right? It is a popular
[00:48:10] position to abolishize. It is an extremely popular position to stop
[00:48:15] funding the war Israel and their, you know, bloodlust. That is an extremely
[00:48:21] popular position in the United States right now current to this day. At this
[00:48:26] point, after what we've all seen on our phones for the past three years in
[00:48:31] In terms of what's going on in Palestine and what's been going on for the past 80 years,
[00:48:35] it is absolutely dog-like-batshit-crazy for anyone in the democratic establishment to
[00:48:42] be campaigning on anything related to Israel and anything less than abolishing ICE.
[00:48:49] Do you see what I'm saying?
[00:48:51] And yet, they will twist and manipulate and use black identity to cover themselves
[00:48:57] from any fucking responsibility. And these black politicians who are in it for their
[00:49:02] ego in it for enriching themselves in it for personal gain are going to sit here and cheer
[00:49:09] them on while they do it while it's under the guys or they're claiming it's under the
[00:49:13] guys of protecting black people and protecting black women. I'm not falling.
[00:49:17] The establishment equals the N word was started by a white woman. Oh my God. It was that
[00:49:24] Susan Lambert, lady. It sure seems like many people on the far left throw the term
[00:49:30] establishment around when they'd rather be using the n-word instead. There is white
[00:49:33] supremacy embedded in thinking establishment could ever compare to the
[00:49:36] history and gravity of being called the n-word. Establishment isn't a slourish
[00:49:39] isn't adjective to Democrat. Stop entertaining these goofy white people
[00:49:43] and establish a Democrat leaders who behave like this.
[00:49:47] Yeah, Jasmine Crockett applauded this take, by the way.
[00:49:56] Oh my God.
[00:50:00] I mean, this kind of stuff is so stupid and it's so silly, it's so strange, it's so frustrating.
[00:50:10] I don't really know how to deal with it anymore, you know.
[00:50:14] Troy's got big motion in mania.
[00:50:15] The Troiota, Trojax volunteers drawn heavily from the movement and back platner are cleaning
[00:50:19] up so far on the fight to select delegates to replace him.
[00:50:22] Nathan Bernard reports Trojax campaign announces he won 29 out of the 32 available delegates
[00:50:27] from Hancock and Franklin counties in mains runoff to replace platner.
[00:50:33] The Troiota is here baby, the Troi Mentum, 22 out of the 23 delegates.
[00:50:39] Jackson Slay supporters when working people organize we win
[00:50:46] Deploy the Toyota is called the Toyota thong
[00:50:50] It's up to 66 out of 80. Let's go. Let's go
[00:50:57] Unleash the Trojan horse. Yeah
[00:51:05] This is bad man is lost why
[00:51:09] Why because
[00:51:12] Troy's not that charismatic. I mean out of all of those candidates that are running he has the best policies. He has the best platform
[00:51:20] We just got to get him some some white monster energy, you know what I mean some monster energy zeros and he'll be fine
[00:51:28] Pronto
[00:51:31] No one knows who Troy Jackson is grand planner and name recognition dog. You are not from fucking Maine. Are you stupid?
[00:51:37] Did you just... First of all, people definitely do know who fucking Troy Jackson is dumbass.
[00:51:42] What are you talking about? He's the fucking president of the state senate for six years.
[00:51:46] He's been a state legislator for 26.
[00:51:55] What the fuck are you talking about?
[00:52:07] I
[00:52:26] Like in the in the
[00:52:28] Political arena in the political arena in the state of Maine and people know him
[00:52:34] partially because it's a very tiny state. Bro is mainsplaining. Plus, it doesn't
[00:52:49] matter. Once he becomes the Democratic Party, once he is the delegate
[00:53:01] selected candidate, there's going to be, you know, a million dollars, millions of
[00:53:08] dollars of ad spend, introducing him to the entire state once again. What
[00:53:15] matters in that moment is that he has a pretty reliable background. He's
[00:53:20] reliable enough that people are comfortable with him. He's also, he,
[00:53:25] throughout his Senate presidency he's also gotten a shit ton of his bills
[00:53:31] vetoed by Janet Mills so he has not only the he his experience most likely
[00:53:42] offers comfort to the establishment Democrats okay that's number one but
[00:53:48] Also on top of that his his policy platform and the things that he has advanced
[00:53:57] As a you know long-term legislator
[00:54:01] It gives him progressive cred
[00:54:04] The only thing the only issue in the campaign is like
[00:54:09] You know the only issue in his campaign is the is the Riz, but who cares
[00:54:14] Fox News talked about your reaction to me and I saw, I saw, that made me sad because I'm not
[00:54:27] disrespecting, you need that monster more than Troy, I do. Very much, but I want to move on to
[00:54:33] Hasan Piker because he seems to be kind of the like the socialist whisperer for the left. He
[00:54:41] He watched some of the debate last night and he's not happy at all.
[00:54:47] Why is this guy on here?
[00:54:48] I was on the debate when Susan Collins was first elected our senator.
[00:54:51] Get off the f***ing stage, who are you, bro?
[00:54:55] Oh God, man, politics man.
[00:54:58] Oh my God, they're all so amazing.
[00:55:02] Okay, Matt, that's like, it's a lefty version of all of us watching it last night.
[00:55:09] it was like mystery science theater for socialists
[00:55:12] well but the interesting thing is that's because that shows the problem they have
[00:55:15] the left can't be satisfied and no one else could possibly be satisfied
[00:55:19] it's
[00:55:21] oh my god i'd even when they agree with my commentary they still have to be
[00:55:25] like we'll see you look at that
[00:55:29] they are left unsatisfied yet they're restless whatever
[00:55:32] it's fine they didn't show you saying it about Troy yet deploy the trioda
[00:55:35] deploy the trioda
[00:55:39] I'm just curious if Mr. Sanders is willing to acknowledge the great work that I did alongside
[00:56:09] President Obama on the auto rescue. You know, he had just himself gotten into the United
[00:56:14] States Senate and I don't remember him being around for the auto rescue. But I certainly
[00:56:19] remember Archleaves being rolled up to save the 200,000 Michigan jobs, to stand up for
[00:56:25] working people and to do the right thing. And I'm also really proud of the record
[00:56:32] that I have. You know, I have been recognized as the most effective lawmaker for Michigan.
[00:56:38] Is Haley Stevens incapable of answering a question that is asked directly with a direct answer?
[00:56:46] I've seen numerous cuts from this interview at this point and every single time they're
[00:56:50] like, Haley Stevens, what do you have to say about campaign transparency laws?
[00:56:54] You're getting $50 million of donations like many of it is coming from APAC and she's
[00:57:00] like, well, you know, I'm the only candidate in the race that, you know, doesn't have
[00:57:03] a lot of money.
[00:57:06] wasn't the question. Like, I swear to God, this is why her accent is disarming. It's
[00:57:15] a mechanism of deflection. Because when we focus on the way she sounds, we forget to
[00:57:24] mention the fact that she's not actually answering the fucking question. She never
[00:57:31] answers the motherfucking question also who cares if you're not rich you have
[00:57:39] you've gotten 50 million dollars you've gotten 50 million dollars from the
[00:57:48] super rich because I write laws and I pass laws and I make a difference you
[00:57:57] you know, I'm not in the complaining class.
[00:58:00] You're literally complaining about Bernie Sanders.
[00:58:06] On a question that was asked about like,
[00:58:07] how will you win over the progressives if you win the primary?
[00:58:14] And your answer is, well, I'm not in the business of complaining,
[00:58:17] but I hate Bernie Sanders.
[00:58:23] Pointing fingers.
[00:58:24] I'm in the class of winning tough elections of making sure someone like Mike Rogers in
[00:58:30] the state of Michigan here which is this is a toss up race is not a guarantee.
[00:58:36] And this is why it's frankly, yeah, it will be a toss up race is not a guarantee if you're
[00:58:41] the candidate.
[00:58:43] It will not be a toss up race.
[00:58:45] It will be a guarantee if it's a matchup between Abdul and my Rogers bank on it.
[00:58:50] Take that shit to the bank chat.
[00:58:53] Okay, trust me
[00:58:58] A few days ago I was poking fun of Stevens and now I think she's arguably one of the most authentic Democrats in the game
[00:59:03] She's also got balls of steel for standing by Israel in this environment. Yeah, she's so brave for standing up for Israel
[00:59:11] Thank God
[00:59:13] Thank gosh, you can paid 50 million dollars for her bravery. Yeah, we should to leave cooked it too now
[00:59:19] Now, she noticed the thing that we all notice on Twitter out of nowhere.
[00:59:25] Everybody united in saying, I have to admit, Haley Stevens is growing on me.
[00:59:31] I can kind of see it now.
[00:59:33] Don't kill me, but she's growing on me.
[00:59:36] Guys, Haley Stevens is growing on me.
[00:59:40] She's growing on me.
[00:59:41] I can't help it.
[00:59:42] I gotta be honest, she's grown on me.
[00:59:45] If I was a Michigander, I'd cast my ballot for Congresswoman Stevens in the
[00:59:49] them primary
[00:59:54] we are not being
[00:59:56] uh... we are not posting a coordinated organized post about how hailey stevens has grown on me
[01:00:11] this is all random happenstance
[01:00:14] a random occurrence.
[01:00:20] Everyone needs to understand this is random.
[01:00:30] You can say he's grown on him as well.
[01:00:32] The more I see her in this kind of environment, the more I see her appeal.
[01:00:44] the
[01:00:53] anyway
[01:00:54] now influence are being paid to say she's growing on them that will never
[01:00:57] raise the fact that he was even

[01:02:07] You started that shit with this lady growing on you?
[01:02:10] Yeah, dawg, I don't think they sound exactly like you, you're so dumb, you think they fucking
[01:02:15] their big time Hassanabi has, that's why they're saying it?
[01:02:19] You think the people that want the Trump administration to literally throw me in prison,
[01:02:25] We're in the chat watching day in, day out, and they got their notes from me when I jokingly
[01:02:32] said, her accent is growing on me.
[01:02:54] Okay.
[01:03:02] I'm so important that, you know,
[01:03:04] we go through a rigorous democratic nominating process.
[01:03:07] We haven't seen Mike Rogers campaigning,
[01:03:09] but we have heard him saying that
[01:03:11] he wants to go to the U.S. Senate to rubber stamp Trump.
[01:03:13] He's not gonna rubber stamp Michigan.
[01:03:15] He's not gonna stand up for us
[01:03:16] when tariffs are wreaking havoc on our pocketbooks
[01:03:19] and our small businesses.
[01:03:20] He's not gonna stand up
[01:03:21] when people are getting kicked off their healthcare
[01:03:23] the
[01:04:22] Detroit News Glenn Garevpole to Stevens was up by 7 points in.
[01:04:28] Adam Cross says, I'm not the business of unscuing polls, but objectively they're projecting a
[01:04:32] Democratic primary elector that would have unprecedentedly high vote shares in the Detroit
[01:04:36] metro area and among black voters both groups a heavily favored Stevens.
[01:04:40] Perhaps they're seeing something that no other pollster is, and they will be proven right,
[01:04:43] or perhaps their model is an outlier and too friendly to Stevens.
[01:04:48] Yeah, 55% is the Detroit Metro, Glen Garoppol participation as opposed to 49% when you
[01:05:12] you look at the averages of twenty nine twenty eighteen and twenty twenty two
[01:05:25] i mean i think i'll do and the campaign is going to shock the world
[01:05:33] that's what i think
[01:05:42] them rose as some choice words on the on the horrible a pack ads that are claiming
[01:05:50] that Barack Obama
[01:05:52] and
[01:05:54] this run. It's disgusting the
[01:06:15] We spent tens of millions of tagging Obama is now spending like crazy the line
[01:06:19] suggesting dorsi at least even says everything wrong with politics support
[01:06:22] of the lsad
[01:07:15] what the fuck
[01:07:19] is it good
[01:07:23] is it fixed
[01:07:27] hello
[01:07:31] that was strange I don't know what happened to that I say
[01:07:35] what gives
[01:07:39] what what gives
[01:07:43] And, as I'm saying, M is real high.
[01:07:47] I love Israel.
[01:07:48] They should be able to spend 40, 50.
[01:07:50] They should spend 100.
[01:07:53] They should be able to spend 100 million dollars on the Democratic primary race in Michigan.
[01:07:57] I think that's the only democracy is when Israel gets to directly hand select Senate
[01:08:03] candidates.
[01:08:04] That's what I think.
[01:08:09] I hope people understand where I stand on this.
[01:08:12] No
[01:08:18] Why are you pocket watching true
[01:08:22] True why am I pocket watching the beautiful nation state of Israel chill Hassan?
[01:08:29] What the hell is wrong with me bro, that's crazy
[01:08:35] Abdul held his own on
[01:08:37] Why are you sending them there on Pod Save America?
[01:08:39] With all due respect, I mean, the question of whether Israel should exist or not is essential
[01:08:45] when you're answering whether a US tax dollar should go towards protecting that right to
[01:08:49] exist.
[01:08:50] And it sort of raised, let me just ask you the question, because I mean, I think you've
[01:08:54] made it a zero sum game between like funding for, for example, schools and aid to Israel.
[01:08:58] The US budget is large, and there's a question about, you know, to what degree the Congress
[01:09:05] should prioritize spending on Israel, which gets at the central question for I think a lot of Jews
[01:09:11] in this country and a lot of Jews in your state is, you know, the Jewish identity and the Jewish
[01:09:18] statehood is essential to them. And they may think the war is a genocide in Gaza and they may
[01:09:25] completely disagree with Bibi Nesinahu, but their Jewish identity is as essential to them as
[01:09:31] as their American identity.
[01:09:33] So I wonder when you are thinking about those people
[01:09:36] and they may support you,
[01:09:39] how do you help them understand
[01:09:42] where Israel exists on your list of priorities?
[01:09:45] Is it immoral to support Israel at this point?
[01:09:49] Or is there some other,
[01:09:51] is there some other avenue?
[01:09:53] Look, I grew up,
[01:09:54] I was really grateful to grow up in a community
[01:09:56] with a large Jewish community, 40% Jewish.
[01:10:00] I had the privilege of being welcomed to Shul
[01:10:04] and being welcomed to Seder
[01:10:05] and going to Bar and Batmitz was growing up.
[01:10:08] I learned a lot about the Jewish faith.
[01:10:10] I learned so much about the Jewish contribution
[01:10:12] to American culture in society.
[01:10:14] And I will do everything I can to protect Jewish Americans
[01:10:17] in this country from anti-Semitism.
[01:10:19] I also, in as much as I love the Jewish people
[01:10:23] and Jewish culture,
[01:10:24] I love and revere Palestinians and Palestinian culture.
[01:10:28] And most importantly, I love and revere the people
[01:10:31] I am running to serve here in Michigan.
[01:10:34] So the idea that Michigan tax dollars
[01:10:37] should be sent to a foreign government
[01:10:40] that wants to foreclose on Palestinian rights
[01:10:44] to peace, dignity, and self-determination,
[01:10:45] which I hold equal to Jewish rights
[01:10:47] to peace, dignity, and self-determination.
[01:10:49] But the idea that our money is being sent to a government
[01:10:52] that wants to foreclose on one community's right
[01:10:55] to self-determination and being misused
[01:10:58] away from solving the needs of the people I'm actually serving is a pretty crazy thing.
[01:11:03] And in setting up this question about about Israel's right to exist, you rightly point
[01:11:07] to the idea of whether or not there is American intervention that ought to be spent to enforce
[01:11:13] that.
[01:11:14] And I think the vast majority of Americans would say, whatever you think about Israel's
[01:11:17] right to exist, our tax dollars should not be used for the interests of a foreign
[01:11:23] government when they need to be used for the interests of the people living
[01:11:26] in our community on its own.
[01:11:28] So I believe in equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination for Palestinians and
[01:11:31] Jewish Israelis alike.
[01:11:33] But I also understand that in an era where people ask you, how are you going to pay for
[01:11:37] that when you want to give people health care or how are you going to pay for that when
[01:11:40] you want to give people good schools, it's pretty crazy to be sending our money over
[01:11:44] there when it could be used over here.
[01:11:47] So no funding to ensure the survival or future of the Jewish state?
[01:11:51] Well, I turn that back around on you, Alex, and say, why is it our responsibility to
[01:11:55] ensure that?
[01:11:56] I'm just asking because I think...
[01:11:57] No, I mean, but like...
[01:11:58] Why is it, why is it the-
[01:11:59] I don't want to talk about understanding.
[01:12:00] I think they-
[01:12:01] But, but, here me up, here me up, here me up.
[01:12:02] Why is that the essential frame from which we work?
[01:12:03] Like, why is it assumed that the United States ought to be in the business of backstopping
[01:12:08] a foreign government?
[01:12:09] Like, I'm just saying, like, I don't want ill will for Jewish and Israeli people
[01:12:13] at all.
[01:12:14] I really don't.
[01:12:15] I just want equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination for all people.
[01:12:17] But the notion that somehow our tax dollars ought to secure the interests of a foreign
[01:12:22] government.
[01:12:23] Like, this is the United States and our own kids don't have good schools and
[01:12:26] you're telling me that that should be a primary concern over there? Like imagine we said the
[01:12:30] same thing about any other country. Another one, like my family should.
[01:12:33] Yeah, does Estonia have a right to exist? Why don't you care about why don't you care
[01:12:39] about propping up Estonia? Now, there's also additional irony here because Estonia, at
[01:12:49] least to my knowledge, has not committed a genocide with our tax dollars, you know what
[01:12:58] I mean? Like the question should be, does Israel have a right to unlimited US funding?
[01:13:09] And then to expand on that conversation you can ask, does Iran have a right to unlimited
[01:13:15] U.S. funding. Does China have a right to unlimited U.S. funding? Why is it only Israel, I guess,
[01:13:21] to have this, this, like, God-given right, like it's in the fucking Constitution or something?
[01:13:27] You hate Estonia because you don't want to give them $300 billion. Yeah. Can you imagine?
[01:13:35] Can you imagine the fucking argument being like, hey, I hate, I hate how much you
[01:13:41] hate the beautiful nation of Lithuania because you don't want to give it $380 billion in the
[01:13:47] next 80 years. It's like, how dare you? How dare you? You want, you want Estonia and Lithuania
[01:13:55] to no longer fucking exist? It's like, bro, that's, that's crazy. Bro, read the comments
[01:14:03] on this video. Let me guess, as predicted, as is the case with every Pots Save America
[01:14:08] episode the comments are gonna be like oh my god Abdul so fucking base he's so
[01:14:14] intelligent speaks like a human his answer in Israel was perfection I'm so
[01:14:17] jealous Michigan voters who get to vote for him I'm gonna be the most
[01:14:20] impressive Senate candidate I've ever seen it's always that way it's kind of
[01:14:25] funny cuz like the Podjohns are fine they're alright you know they're not
[01:14:29] my enemies right but their audience always comes across like they've
[01:14:36] never heard this before. You know what I mean? Their audience, whenever I'm on, I love looking
[01:14:42] at the comments, they're honestly like, why do we never hear stuff like this? And it's
[01:14:48] so funny because it's like, there's a whole world out there. And it always makes me think
[01:14:55] like, what the hell is the pod? What the hell are the podge on saying to their audience?
[01:15:02] Whenever I go on there like I've literally never heard someone speak like this before
[01:15:07] This just like unlocked chakras in my mind. You know what I mean?
[01:15:14] You opened up my fucking third eye with
[01:15:19] Pretty much the most like elementary anti Zionist talking points
[01:15:27] Super basic
[01:15:32] To be honest, that's why I became a fan of you like 2021. Yeah, that's why I always
[01:15:45] like, that's why I always give credit to the boys, to the pod boys, to the pod jobs because
[01:15:51] they don't shy away from having these conversations and their audience is obviously primed for
[01:15:55] it. So that means they haven't been like negatively framing the left and constantly
[01:16:02] antagonizing against the left-rank, which is something I do give a lot of credit to them
[01:16:10] over.
[01:16:11] Your appearance after the 2020 election on Pajons one time brought me over, never looked
[01:16:14] back.
[01:16:15] See, that's what I mean.
[01:16:31] meeting grief for just for me in DC when it's not happening cutie pie from Egypt. Okay. Like
[01:16:40] would it be crazy if somebody was asking me like, Hey, do you think Egypt has the right to
[01:16:43] exist? People like Egypt exists. I'm like, well, if somebody wanted to change the nature of Egypt,
[01:16:48] do you think the United States should be spending all of its money to make sure or
[01:16:51] any of its money to make sure that that happens? People like, I don't know what that that seems
[01:16:54] like a different country's issue. But like, I'm just saying that, like you can both say
[01:16:59] that Israel exists but it doesn't have a right to my tax dollars and it is not our responsibility
[01:17:05] as American taxpayers to take money away from kids who don't have good schools and give it to a
[01:17:11] country. I'm audio only am I hearing farting wait what where is there like an audio issue chatters
[01:17:19] What the fuck's going on?
[01:17:28] To buy bombs and tanks, like the idea that, that our conversation even,
[01:17:33] even questions that is itself a big question we should be asking,
[01:17:37] like, why is this the frame of the debate?
[01:17:39] Yeah. Chuck Schumer is here.
[01:17:42] He's sleeping in the bed and he's a little bit loosey-goosey.
[01:17:47] You know, we know how his ass is.
[01:17:54] Oh, is it the coffee?
[01:17:57] Is it when I sip the coffee
[01:17:58] and you guys hear me drinking the coffee
[01:18:00] and you're like, oh, that sounds like a fart.
[01:18:06] Now what it is?
[01:18:09] Anyway, speaking of Abdul Arboy,
[01:18:12] he got harassed by Jake Lang today.
[01:18:16] Let's take a look.
[01:18:17] You're going to prosecute him!
[01:18:19] We're going to hand him over to him!
[01:18:21] You let's say it!
[01:18:23] You let's say it!
[01:18:25] The reason I wanted to clock him out to USA is because he doesn't hate me.
[01:18:29] He doesn't hate AG. He doesn't even hate you.
[01:18:31] You know what he hates? He hates America.
[01:18:33] He hates the idea of what America was always supposed to be.
[01:18:39] Oh, god damn!
[01:18:41] That's what I'm talking about, Abdul!
[01:18:45] Oh my god of the people by the people and for the people
[01:18:50] Where it should not matter the color of your skin should not matter how you pray should not matter who you love that you can be fully in
[01:18:56] 100% America. He hates that America
[01:18:58] He wants America to be small
[01:19:01] He wants America to be like him. He wants America to be hateful
[01:19:06] He wants America to be a place that does not include
[01:19:09] And every day that we go out there
[01:19:12] Oh knock on those doors. We make an argument about what America actually is an America that is bigger than his hate
[01:19:20] An America that is bigger than the small mind in this that he brings to this an America that has a bigger heart
[01:19:27] Dude dude
[01:19:30] That's the reverse farm, baby, that's the clip
[01:19:34] This is how you do it. This is how you do it uno reverse
[01:19:38] Someone comes after you trying to farm a clip you just flip the script on them
[01:19:44] You flip the script on them and you get the clip instead. He had to leave crying
[01:19:52] Nobody was afraid of him
[01:19:54] The room was was cheering him away. Oh god damn. That's good
[01:20:04] Yep, that's called clip maxing
[01:20:06] It's called clip-mogging than the one that he has in America that is bigger than a Donald
[01:20:15] Trump who thinks that some people don't get to belong here because of their color of their
[01:20:18] skin.
[01:20:19] In America that is bigger than the idea that we all can come together and pray how we
[01:20:23] choose or not pray at all.
[01:20:25] In America that is bigger than Mike Rogers and the corporate corruption that they all
[01:20:29] take to run these campaigns to pick our pocket.
[01:20:32] The America they believe in is one where a few people who look a particular way get
[01:20:37] to siphon off your money to make billions.
[01:20:40] That's the America they want.
[01:20:41] That's the America he represents.
[01:20:42] That's the America he's so mad he didn't get.
[01:20:45] And as much as that's an ugly display of the America they want for us, this here
[01:20:51] is a beautiful display of the America we can get.
[01:20:58] I have never been more jealous than I am of Michigan.
[01:21:26] I'll never be more jealous of Michigan than I am now.

[01:24:17] They got a lot of talent out there. The person who's replacing Haley Stevens, Ayesha Farouk,
[01:24:23] I think her name is she's great too
[01:24:31] Yeah
[01:24:35] There are so many great candidates up and down that goddamn ballot

[01:25:44] Communist Wyomingite.
[01:25:45] I'm not going to watch that video from the richest town in America.
[01:25:50] That's not what you think.
[01:25:51] Maybe later.
[01:26:20] the
[01:26:42] I don't know what the fuck's going on with with how much
[01:26:50] APAC wants to just maintain control over the state of Michigan. I don't know why they're so aggressive in Michigan
[01:26:57] I guess they're aggressive everywhere. We're just focusing on Michigan
[01:27:09] You know
[01:27:11] Anyway, we got far left Democrats winning over Gen Z. Incredibly Infectious.
[01:27:17] Let's take a look.
[01:27:18] College Democrats of America are holding their annual convention this weekend in Washington.
[01:27:22] And look who made the guest list, Hassan Piker.
[01:27:26] And he's just one of the featured speakers who are raising eyebrows.
[01:27:30] Another sign that young voters are still shifting to the extreme left.
[01:27:35] Here to react is Gen Z political analyst and former Democrat Jamil Jackson.
[01:27:39] Neil, thanks so much for joining us this morning. Look, you say one of the reasons...
[01:27:44] Former Democrat. Oh boy, here we go.
[01:27:47] As you left the Democrat Party is because they were getting too extreme for you. You
[01:27:52] know, we see they excitedly announced here for this convention. Hasan Piker is going
[01:27:57] to be one of their speakers. Do you think this is something that Gen Z is falling for?
[01:28:04] Are, are, you know, your friends and what you're hearing out there is, is this going
[01:28:07] to be...
[01:28:08] Trump just said your name. Wait, what? A Trump?
[01:28:17] So far it is. Unfortunately, I be Senator Federman to it. I left the Democratic Party over this specific
[01:28:23] issue because of the DSA and Hasan Piker is offering. It's actually pretty potent. They're
[01:28:28] offering. Wait, what? This guy? Oh, you meant a Trump like Laura Trump. Okay. I got scared.
[01:29:08] Republican because
[01:29:10] The democrats got too extreme so you went with the with the party that rides for the clan now like what the fuck
[01:29:23] That's crazy
[01:29:28] Yeah, the the Hassan piker wing of the party got too extreme for me, so I became a part of the party of racists
[01:29:34] I became a racist because the song was two races for me in the Democratic Party
[01:29:43] To a language because they are ideologues
[01:29:46] I had a friend who went to the DSA meeting a few weeks ago here in Philadelphia
[01:29:50] And he said he can actually get behind the policies of expanding health care or even raise the minimum wage
[01:29:56] From $7 and 25 cents to maybe 15
[01:29:58] But he says he's a hard no when it comes to opening up all of our prisons abolishing ice abolishing the police and
[01:30:06] Honestly open borders what I say. Yeah, I love I love saying stuff like that. I'm a big fan of of
[01:30:14] Opening up all of the prisons
[01:30:19] Man how about we open the schools, okay talk about opening something we got to open the schools man
[01:30:28] I
[01:30:30] know
[01:30:31] what the fuck
[01:30:37] all my god
[01:30:41] a lot of them are moderate democrats the establishment is that the losing this fight from the far left flank
[01:30:48] because they're to busy being the party of anti-trump
[01:30:51] they're actually have a platform they'll stand for anything and they don't recognize what apparently
[01:30:56] The demigods do stand for something by your own admission, they stand for opening up the
[01:31:01] prisons apparently, which is fucking news to me, but yeah, my favorite Hassanahmi policy
[01:31:11] is legalizing crime, yeah.
[01:31:15] They lost to President Trump in 2024, so far left members like Hassan Piker, they're
[01:31:20] willing to demagogue and position themselves based on slogans for younger people, talking
[01:31:25] about economic anxiety, whereas it's sort of like they're pushing more extremist language,
[01:31:32] for example. They'll start with legitimate criticisms of Israeli domestic or foreign
[01:31:37] policy to begin with. And younger people might buy into those conversations, but it
[01:31:41] quickly turns into what Hassan Pacher actually believes is the elimination of the Israeli
[01:31:46] state altogether. And here on the ground in Philadelphia, it's happening from the
[01:31:51] DSA endorsing local candidates. They're taking over the local machine based on identity politics and their foot there wait what?
[01:32:03] They're taking the local Philadelphia machine based on identity politics is a literally
[01:32:10] Is it 60% black district? What are you talking about? What identity politics?
[01:32:17] Like when Fox News says identity politics, they mean black people
[01:32:21] okay that's what they mean this is this guy's got to be new this is what's
[01:32:31] going on he's like still using some of the terminology that he would use as
[01:32:36] probably like an establishment Democrat this seems like a new a new flip
[01:32:45] this seems like a like a new convert obviously it's not a real converse he's
[01:32:50] not sincere just a grifter but
[01:32:52] but he's still using like
[01:32:56] he's still using
[01:32:58] terms that would work within the framework of a democratic primary
[01:33:02] and not terms that it that's that's ready for the big leagues on the republican
[01:33:06] side
[01:33:08] the republican commentary here is supposed to be
[01:33:11] here i'll tell you what it is okay
[01:33:13] since you're a recent convert all explain it to you
[01:33:16] so what you're supposed to say is like the democrats got to extreme that's why
[01:33:19] i left
[01:33:21] and then
[01:33:22] i'm actually thankful that i left because the the democrats got to shim because i
[01:33:25] realized
[01:33:27] that the republicans are not the party of races
[01:33:29] it's democrats that are the party of the races
[01:33:32] because they do identity politics
[01:33:35] what you're supposed to say
[01:33:38] write this down
[01:33:40] we're supposed to say is the democrats got to extreme
[01:33:43] and i left the party
[01:33:45] because they were doing jew hatred they were doing hatred of all different
[01:33:48] kinds of minorities
[01:33:50] the real anti-racist party is the republicans republicans are not races
[01:33:54] the democrats are the party of the clan
[01:33:59] historically
[01:34:01] you're supposed to say democrats of the party the clan
[01:34:04] and that's why i left the party and i'm grateful that i left the party because
[01:34:08] now i realize that i was lied to about the republicans
[01:34:12] because that's how you know they they keep people in check
[01:34:16] to ensure that uh... people vote for the democrats over norigan by lying
[01:34:21] to us
[01:34:25] pushing groups and candidates to have a specific stance on israel
[01:34:30] even if it's a school board election or even if it's something really small
[01:34:33] like
[01:34:33] uh... controlling the municipality
[01:34:35] why are these certain uh... local elections focusing on foreign policy in
[01:34:39] the middle east
[01:34:40] it's incredibly yeah great question um
[01:34:45] there's not a single district in the united states of america
[01:34:48] no matter how local no matter how small
[01:34:51] that doesn't in some way shape or form
[01:34:54] get impacted by it
[01:34:56] uh... israeli policies
[01:34:59] it's insane when you say it like that but it's true
[01:35:03] down to the municipalities
[01:35:05] i'll give you statewide examples like there's anti bds legislation in the
[01:35:09] state of Texas for example in every single district. As a matter of fact when a smaller
[01:35:13] district decided to forgo their tax dollars going to Israel, Greg Abbott came in and said
[01:35:20] that's anti-Semitic and that you will no longer get any statewide backing if you actually
[01:35:27] pushed through this initiative that you voted on, that you decided on. You have to keep
[01:35:33] sending tax dollars to Israel. In the state of Texas teachers, public school teachers
[01:35:38] have to sign a loyalty pledge, an anti-BDS legislation, a loyalty pledge to the
[01:35:43] state of Israel to basically promise that you'll never boycott or demand boycotts
[01:35:49] on the state of Israel. You'll never demand divestments from the state of
[01:35:52] Israel. You'll never demand sanctions on the state of Israel. That's real. That's a
[01:35:56] real thing. Okay? So I love that these guys will turn around and be like,
[01:36:01] what is this like? Like they did this with my Nithya Raman interview, right?
[01:36:05] when I asked Nithya Raman about like Israel related shit and they were like why the fuck would the
[01:36:09] mayor of Los Angeles have a take about the the state of Israel like you fucking stupid. Yeah,
[01:36:18] you clearly didn't listen to the conversation because I was asking her about why she got endorsements
[01:36:24] from the Democratic majority for Israel. I was asking her about her background and the decisions
[01:36:29] that she is made in favor of Israel as a council member.
[01:36:35] The real question should be why the fuck is Los Angeles council members making decisions
[01:36:42] on behalf of what Americans can say or can't say about the state of Israel?
[01:36:49] Why is LAPD getting trained by the Israeli occupying forces?
[01:36:57] Why is that the case?
[01:37:01] Why is Israel spending $45 million in the Michigan Senate race?
[01:37:06] These are the real questions, right?
[01:37:13] I don't want to talk about Israel.
[01:37:14] I never want to think about Israel ever again for the rest of my life.
[01:37:19] Okay?
[01:37:20] The problem is, you can't really hand wave this shit away by being like, you're being
[01:37:26] silly especially because when you say you're being silly people like myself will turn around
[01:37:33] people like myself will then turn around and actually tell you exactly why israel is such a
[01:37:39] prescient issue in american domestic politics down to the fucking municipality
[01:37:49] that's not my fault
[01:37:50] Well, you made the sandwich.
[01:37:53] Well, I guess in this case, Israel made the sandwich.
[01:37:56] It is infectious, it is terrifying, and yeah, there seems to be no pushback for someone
[01:38:02] as extremist as Son Piker, you know, and some of these radicals speaking on campuses.
[01:38:06] But we've seen how many, you know, pro-Israel or Jewish speakers have consistently, you
[01:38:11] know, been canceled from a lot of these speaking engagements.
[01:38:15] You talk to voters, we have a Fox News poll and you know, whenever you ask voters, all
[01:38:20] voters and when it comes to their thoughts towards socialism, look at this, they think
[01:38:26] all voters think 38% versus 53% under 30.
[01:38:32] All voters think it's a good thing, bad thing, 61% versus 47.
[01:38:36] You can see the young voters are the ones who are driving this.
[01:38:40] What do you say though, Jamia?
[01:38:42] you talk to kind of your your age group out there when you talk to Gen Z what
[01:38:47] would you say to them to kind of pull them back because it's pretty clear the
[01:38:51] establishment within the Democrat Party is having a hard time reigning things
[01:38:54] in. What I say to them is to stay the course. Right now it seems really
[01:39:01] popular to go for socialism and it's because that's the only thing the
[01:39:05] Democrats have changed about their platform since 2024. It's new, it
[01:39:09] sounds exciting and they're willing to give another platform a chance just
[01:39:13] because President Biden has lost a lot of trust with the establishment
[01:39:17] Democrats and the core base of voters. The truth is the establishment moderate
[01:39:21] Democrats are not willing to talk to young people. They're not.
[01:39:25] Bro, you just left the party. Why would anybody listen to you about what the
[01:39:28] democrats should do
[01:39:35] i don't understand all right man you left by by
[01:39:38] you know
[01:39:39] i don't get it
[01:39:42] how come you get to leave and then still complain from the outside
[01:39:48] you know i mean
[01:39:51] you left buddy
[01:39:53] you left
[01:39:55] the democrats are actively
[01:39:57] demanding i'd be purge from the party and i'm still kicking
[01:40:03] you couldn't stand the heat and you chose to get the fuck out of the kitchen
[01:40:10] fuck you mean here's what they should be doing
[01:40:16] why should anybody listen to you now
[01:40:23] am i crazy
[01:40:27] Bro, this guy's running against Chris Rabb. Oh my God, that's awesome. He's going to get
[01:40:34] good building a viable platform for younger people. So it's really difficult for let's
[01:40:39] see someone like me or people who are just generally independent to talk to younger people
[01:40:45] when the DSA is giving younger people a seat at the table. They're inviting figures like
[01:40:49] Hasan Piker. They're more engaged online than 60 year old moderate establishment Democrats.
[01:40:55] We are happy to have you as part of the Republican party to mail welcome over to our side of the aisle
[01:41:01] We hope to see more of that happen. We appreciate you being on with us this morning. Thanks so much
[01:41:07] Thank you so much
[01:41:09] Be sure to like and subscribe for all the Fox news latest on youtube and catch full shows streaming now on fox one
[01:41:18] Yeah, good luck to this guy in all of his future endeavors. Anyway here
[01:41:22] I watched this I listened to this podcast and there were some really good answers and then some answers that made me
[01:41:29] Freak out a little bit
[01:41:32] This was the interesting one. I got brought up in the Zoran interview on what political weight
[01:41:37] You you give the Israeli issue because you are very clear about where you stand
[01:41:41] But I'm wondering how you apply it to sort of how you
[01:41:45] look at other
[01:41:47] Political actors the left-wing streamer Hassan piker recently said and I'm quoting here someone who will not say the truth about Israel's genocide
[01:41:55] Will not stand with you and fight for you for your health care for your housing. It's that simple. Do you agree with that statement?
[01:42:04] Yeah, do you do you big Z
[01:42:11] Big Z do you
[01:42:17] and
[01:42:20] and
[01:42:27] the
[01:42:39] not the Jeffery Stunna is that are those the glasses we got were matching
[01:42:47] someone said that's you and they're so right because we got we got the drip we got the same drip
[01:42:50] that was your sign
[01:42:57] only because of your presence unclear what they're planning
[01:43:01] are who are the kicked streamers do you know
[01:43:27] the end area is
[01:43:34] is there is still there I got tickets
[01:43:39] Fucking losers man
[01:43:48] This shit is so fucking lame too anyways on a smart and would say something which doesn't hurt the feelings of anyone
[01:43:54] And that's the problem trying to please everybody anyway. Yeah, let's get back to big zoe
[01:43:58] I think what we have seen from New Yorkers, what we've seen from Americans when we talk about this hunger for a new kind of politics, it's a hunger to move beyond the bankruptcy that characterizes a lot of politics today.
[01:44:14] And it is hard to find a more bankrupt policy approach than what our country has done to Gaza and to Palestine and how it hasn't been specific to any one party.
[01:44:27] It's been again and again an insistence to tell New Yorkers and to tell Americans
[01:44:33] That what they are seeing is not something they should in fact either be concerned by or believe in
[01:44:39] Sometimes I mean, it's a good answer by the way. It's a good answer
[01:44:43] Sometimes I do think that he is I already listened to this sometimes I do think that he gets a little too politician like I'm gonna be honest and
[01:44:51] And when you talk about the rupture in trust that comes from that, it is hard to then turn
[01:45:03] to another issue and say, believe me here.
[01:45:07] And what I've found time and again is that that trust, you have to be able to maintain
[01:45:12] it.
[01:45:13] It's not to say that you have to agree on everything, but there has to be an honesty.
[01:45:17] And too often you'll find that they're far more...
[01:45:21] You can't defend, he can defend your honor at this point.
[01:45:24] What?
[01:45:25] No, he's the fucking mayor with a huge approval rating.
[01:45:27] Wait, defend my honor.
[01:45:28] He's literally agreeing with me.
[01:45:30] It's just he's doing it political style, politician style.
[01:45:36] Um, I mean, he's, he was really good at the, the Nelson Mandela event, um, I mean,
[01:45:46] So, he's definitely capable of delivering passionate speeches about this issue.
[01:45:57] We know what his position is in general.
[01:46:03] The part that annoyed me in this interview wasn't even this.
[01:46:08] He's just explaining the quote with context.
[01:46:10] That's fine.
[01:46:11] This is great.
[01:46:12] This is a great answer.
[01:46:14] The part that fucking annoyed me, the part that fucking annoyed me was when Lulu asks
[01:46:25] Zoran if you had unlimited money what would you do with New York?
[01:46:30] And that his answer there made me so mad because he was like exactly the policies I'm pushing
[01:46:40] now and I was like no you wouldn't.
[01:46:43] you know you wouldn't what are you saying just like be honest like what that was straight up the most
[01:46:52] like politician answer i've ever heard from him and it gave me fucking whiplash okay and it was so
[01:47:01] annoying that even lula was like come on come on this is a this is a thought experiment like
[01:47:09] It's obviously like this is a thought experiment. It's not a trap. It's actually
[01:47:16] Asking you like what your what your broader vision is
[01:47:23] What a dumb thing to make you madlaw with the fuck I don't know maybe it's because I have like because he's such a good speaker
[01:47:31] He's such a good speaker
[01:47:33] and and he has the opportunity in that moment to
[01:47:37] deploy his speech skills and his charisma to show like a bold vision that we
[01:47:44] should be pushing for in general it's not a trap it's not not everything has to
[01:47:49] be so defensive guys
[01:47:54] no thought experiments are hypotheticals until a term is over brother
[01:47:57] yeah he's already running he's running for 2020 he's running for 2029 that's
[01:48:03] That's my problem.
[01:48:05] Congress people who will privately tell you that something is a genocide, then publicly
[01:48:09] announce it to be so.
[01:48:10] And so long as there's an understanding of a difference in what people believe and what
[01:48:14] they're willing to say, there will be a skepticism and frankly a despair amongst
[01:48:20] those considering whether or not to engage themselves in politics.
[01:48:23] So should the litmus test for a politician who wants to be part of your coalition
[01:48:29] be their views on the Gaza war and their commitment to calling it a genocide?
[01:48:34] It's one litmus test. It's not the end all be all, but it's a pretty reliable one because
[01:48:40] it's one of those issues that everyone can understand. It's one of those issues that has,
[01:48:44] you know, mass disapproval. So it basically shows that a politician is more invested in,
[01:48:51] a politician is more invested in doing the bidding of corporations or PACs than the
[01:48:57] in the bidding of the population. That's it.
[01:49:01] You could have made the argument maybe a year ago, two years ago, that like, there wasn't
[01:49:06] mass disapproval of Israel as there is one now, and therefore get away with it by being
[01:49:11] like, oh, I don't know enough about this. It's a foreign country. Not everyone is
[01:49:15] actually, this is a divisive issue. People are divided on it. You can't make that
[01:49:19] argument anymore because the only divide, the only divide that exists on this issue
[01:49:23] is not amongst the population. It's not amongst the working class. It's not
[01:49:27] amongst the voters, especially in the Democratic Party,
[01:49:30] the only divide is between the voters
[01:49:32] and the politicians now.
[01:49:36] That's it.
[01:49:38] Anyway, Zoran's answer is very good.
[01:49:40] I'm just giving you my answer or why I say this
[01:49:44] since it was brought up as a point against Zoran
[01:49:49] kind of or just like asked Zoran.
[01:49:57] I think it's an important part. I wouldn't say that there's a specific litmus test as to
[01:50:03] creating a cookie cutter of a person that I would endorse in anyone
[01:50:07] which seat. What I would say is that you have to have a clear vision
[01:50:11] of being able to describe things as they are and being able to fight for that which working
[01:50:15] people have been denied. But can it include those who support Israel and support America's
[01:50:22] support of Israel.
[01:50:23] I think when you asked me earlier of what is my party, I've said the Democratic Party.
[01:50:29] I'm asking you, though, yes, and my my point is in the Democratic Party, but yeah, my point
[01:50:34] is that the importance of a big what would you do with the money? Dude, unlimited
[01:50:40] funds, unlimited funds immediately establishing healthcare, government run free grocery stores,
[01:50:47] Everything fast and free buses free subway
[01:50:53] Building out the the public transit system in New York
[01:50:59] The fuck
[01:51:02] Expand the subway
[01:51:10] Infrastructure jobs good paying jobs
[01:51:13] millions of jobs. Millions and millions of jobs.
[01:51:19] Kent, it's critical not just in how we describe ourselves as what we belong to.
[01:51:27] I put a Japanese toilet in every public restroom. I put a public restroom in every corner and
[01:51:33] a Japanese toto toilet in every single one of them damn public restrooms. And I make
[01:51:40] I make the janitor staff get paid like 200 grand a year, luxury jobs for sanitation, okay?
[01:51:50] Good paying union jobs with great benefits for all the public workers that clean those
[01:51:55] toilets.
[01:51:56] Those toilets are going to look like Japanese toilets, okay?
[01:52:00] Universal bid day access for all.
[01:52:02] See, now that wasn't a part of his five policies, but let's be real.
[01:52:09] He did promise us that shit.
[01:52:11] He did.
[01:52:12] Remember?
[01:52:13] I ain't forget.
[01:52:19] But also that we can work with those with whom we might not have agreement on every single
[01:52:24] issue.
[01:52:25] And you can even see in the administration that I've put together, it's not an administration
[01:52:30] where at every job interview I ask someone, what are your thoughts about Israel and
[01:52:34] Palestine?
[01:52:35] It has very little to do with most of the things that I'm hiring for.
[01:52:40] And what we want is to show that you are looking for expertise, you are looking to deliver
[01:52:45] on the ambition of your policy platform and to build a team that's able to do so.
[01:52:50] And when it comes to my endorsements of Congress members or those running for state legislative
[01:52:55] seats, they have to show a vision of the world that speaks to that despair and
[01:53:02] also addresses how you would actually deliver something different.
[01:53:04] And you felt that as bad didn't do that. No. One other question on this former vice president
[01:53:11] and presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, would you move the New York City of Mamdani
[01:53:15] gives you Japanese style toilets? Man, look, I love New York City, but I am needed elsewhere. Okay.
[01:53:22] I love New York City. I love and I like I love New York City, DSA. I love all the candidates
[01:53:28] there. But we got work to do everywhere else, okay? We got a lot more work to do.
[01:53:38] Right now I'm focusing on Michigan and Wisconsin. Okay, you should also be thinking about Arizona
[01:53:45] with Kainu Kirk. The job's not done yet. Let's get out of the midterms and then we'll
[01:53:52] We'll reconsider where we move, okay?
[01:54:05] And in the moments where I'm not thinking about New York City, I'm thinking about the beautiful nation's data Singapore.
[01:54:18] I think Americans need to... Americans need to entertain the idea of having a clean butt.
[01:54:24] Look, I think bidets are a great thing.
[01:54:28] And it's cheap. It's like for 20 bucks. You can put one of those things where you just change the seat out.
[01:54:33] So, would that be...
[01:54:35] Oh!
[01:54:38] Okay, alright, alright.
[01:54:42] That's crazy. That's crazy work.
[01:54:45] you got a couple extra coffees for anybody is the video where you add the water to coffee
[01:54:53] no I did that with Mahmoud Khalil not with Zoran not with Big Z
[01:55:28] this is that is also why democratic voters are resenting israel more and more
[01:55:37] because they're receiving the message loud and clear that it is deep head
[01:55:40] project the party elites who want money and institutional ties to outweigh the
[01:55:43] voters themselves yeah you know more once was turbo canceled for saying it
[01:55:47] ever since the pro-israel side has said exactly the same thing as a threat
[01:55:50] it's not about votes it's about small obsessive and wealthy it's about a
[01:55:55] small and obsessive and wealthy faction whose financial influence drowns out your votes.
[01:55:59] Yeah, I've seen this.
[01:56:02] Lemau, the dilemma Democrats is now is more financial than electoral.
[01:56:06] Dems can theoretically survive Jewish voter defection in non-competitive areas, but they
[01:56:10] can make up for, but can they make up for Jewish and pro-Israel donor defections?
[01:56:15] Let's check in on their campaign coffers.
[01:56:19] The DNC has nearly $15 million on hand, but is $18 million in debt.
[01:56:24] What's crazy about this argument is that because APAC has funded Democrats and Republicans,
[01:56:33] they have basically upped the ante, right?
[01:56:37] They've basically redefined how much money is being spent in these elections.
[01:56:43] So when APAC pulls out, which by the way, not funded by Jewish donors in its entirety
[01:56:48] at all. APAC is funded by a lot of maga-republican donors, as a matter of fact. When APAC pulls
[01:56:57] out, there's a giant fundraising issue, right? This is the reality without the pro-Israel
[01:57:07] donations coming into the Democratic Party. This is what they've been avoiding. This
[01:57:12] This is what they've been terrified of, okay?
[01:57:20] And it's really interesting because, yes, as Dylan also notes, for years APAC has said
[01:57:26] it's not just wrong but anti-Semitic to say there's a direct link between the money
[01:57:29] it raised for politicians and how lawmakers vote.
[01:57:32] Now by ending contributions expressly on the base of a single vote is showing exactly
[01:57:36] how it operates. You see? APEC and pro Israel donors made and basically in some ways like
[01:57:59] redefined how much money is spent in these races, right? So they increase the bottom,
[01:58:05] like the bottom necessary for a campaign's viability, and then now they're pulling out
[01:58:11] on one side and all of a sudden they're still funding the other side. It's going to make it
[01:58:15] a little bit more difficult. Now, of course, the counter argument to this is the side that
[01:58:22] out fund raised and still lost. I'm of course referencing Kamala Harris who had a
[01:58:28] billion dollars, one billion dollars. You still need money, okay? You obviously
[01:58:37] still need money to get in front of attack ads. It's not great when you're,
[01:58:41] you know, when your candidacy is mired with fake controversies that are
[01:58:46] manufactured by big donors, big outside expenditures, we're seeing a version of this reality with
[01:58:54] the Abdul-as-Said race. However, however, the side that out front raises doesn't always
[01:59:02] win, especially if they don't have policies that match. If they don't have policies
[01:59:08] that are responsive to the needs of the masses. Kamala Harris was a great example
[01:59:12] this and so was Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2016. You feel me? And that's precisely the reason
[01:59:24] why you've seen plenty of campaigns this primary season get outspent 2 to 1, 3 to 1. And in
[01:59:33] the case of Abdul El Sayed, 10 to 1, potentially 12 to 1. Think about the fundraising disparity
[01:59:41] $1221 for every dollar spent on Abdul, APAC and other corporate packs are spending $12 to get Haley Stevens elected to that seat.
[01:59:54] Well, not even elected to that seat, just to win the primary.
[01:59:57] No guarantee that they'll continue spending at that level against Mike Rogers when Mike Rogers is also a servant of the same interest.
[02:00:11] Think. Think about that. Is this a democracy? If your elections are bought and sold to the
[02:00:23] highest bidder, you don't have real elections at all. You don't have a real democracy at
[02:00:30] all. It shouldn't be this tough. It shouldn't be this tough to get the word out. It shouldn't
[02:00:36] be this tough to be able to, you know, put yourself in front of every single voter and
[02:00:40] say, this is what I believe, this is what I stand for, vote for me and I'll fight like
[02:00:44] hell for you.
[02:00:48] But unfortunately, moneyed interest, Citizens United and numerous other Supreme Court decisions
[02:00:52] that favor corporations being able to fundraise and spend however much money they want
[02:00:58] to has made it impossible to have an honest and just fair and free election system.
[02:01:06] That's just the reality.
[02:01:13] Anyway, but it is really funny that everybody used to yell at Ilhan Omar for saying it's all
[02:01:18] about the Benjamins, that you know APAC plays a formative role in the elections in the United
[02:01:27] States and now they're saying it out loud. They're saying it as a threat. It's crazy
[02:01:36] there's a whole cohort of Beltway staff or consultant types that just ignore the more
[02:01:40] than 52 million poured into my home state and attempt to buy a Senate seat. Absolutely
[02:01:44] disgusting. It's not just the Beltway staff or consultant types because their job is
[02:01:49] to get those donors right. Their job is to be the connective tissue between those
[02:01:54] corporate PACs and the campaigns and the politicians themselves. This is how they make their money.
[02:02:01] Now I hate them, but I understand where they're coming from. What I cannot understand is why
[02:02:06] the media has not covered this. Every single time Haley Stevens goes on any news outlet,
[02:02:15] reporters should say, hey, what do you have to say for the $52 million being spent in
[02:02:21] in your direction by APAC and numerous other corporate packs.
[02:02:25] What does that say?
[02:02:27] What does that say about who you stand with
[02:02:30] to the Michigan voters you wanna convince?
[02:02:37] How will you convince the Michigan voters
[02:02:39] that you will stand with them
[02:02:40] as opposed to corporate interests?
[02:02:43] Why do you think they're spending $52 million
[02:02:46] in your direction?
[02:02:47] Why do you think Israel and APAC
[02:02:49] Apex subsidiaries are spending 40 of the 52 million dollars to make sure you win this
[02:02:55] primary as opposed to Abdul Al-Sayed.
[02:02:58] These are some free questions that journalists should be asking Hayley Stevens every single
[02:03:03] time because this is newsworthy.
[02:03:05] This is a record-breaking amount of money that they're spending to buy this fucking
[02:03:09] seed and I haven't heard a goddamn peep from mainstream media about it.
[02:03:14] Not a fucking peep.
[02:03:16] Meanwhile, every time Abdul goes on a fucking show, they're like,
[02:03:18] What about this Twitch streamer that you fucking did a campaign rally with?
[02:03:22] What about this Twitch streamer?
[02:03:23] What about this Twitch streamer, a Sompiker?
[02:03:25] What do you think is more important to the fucking Michiganders?
[02:03:28] If you're a goddamn journalist, what do you think is more important for the public to know?
[02:03:34] Whether a Congresswoman who's now running for Senate is bought and fucking sold by a foreign lobby
[02:03:42] that is unbelievably toxic to the average fucking voter, especially in the Democratic Party,
[02:03:49] or a goddamn Twitch streamer who pops off every now and then.
[02:03:55] What do you think is more important for the voters?
[02:04:01] You have a duty. You have a job.
[02:04:05] Your job is to find the truth.
[02:04:08] Your job is to ask important questions.
[02:04:11] Your job is to make the public more aware of what's going on.
[02:04:16] It's not my job, technically, but I'm doing it too.
[02:04:21] So it blows my mind that so many Mason reporters have just
[02:04:24] foregone this primary responsibility.
[02:04:30] This is their most important obligation, an obligation to the truth, uncompromising obligation to the truth.
[02:04:42] That's what they're supposed to be doing.
[02:04:45] And then they're getting really nasty with the two Fred Gutenberg, which is another like anti-gun violence guy.
[02:04:56] sky I don't know what the fuck's up with these guys
[02:05:00] I just I genuinely don't understand why so many of these like
[02:05:05] Parkland uh school shooting survivors and survivor families that did great work
[02:05:10] trying to combat gun violence in this country have all become
[02:05:13] unbelievable and rapacious dick writers of APAC
[02:05:21] I don't get it
[02:05:26] Rashida Tlaib calls out all of the corporations that have funded the Haley
[02:05:34] Stevens campaign. Fred Gutenberg comes out says, hey Rashida Tlaib, you are a
[02:05:39] cancer on the Democratic Party in America. You and your stupid
[02:05:43] protest vote. By the reason we have a second Trump term, you are not a
[02:05:46] Democrat, but you certainly use the party as for influence to check your own
[02:05:49] house and other fight agency clients like Plattener. Like I said, you are
[02:05:53] cancer.
[02:05:55] Matthew Hassan says nothing to see here, just a Haley's dear supporter repeatedly calling
[02:05:58] the only Palestinian American woman in Congress a cancer, but hey, the left and Abdul need
[02:06:02] to be more civil.
[02:06:15] Hey when do you think you'll be barred from flying?
[02:06:18] What fucking, what kind of question is that man?
[02:06:20] Hopefully never.
[02:06:22] Okay, what are you talking about?
[02:06:28] The parking lot shooting left them completely bitter and jaded dog
[02:06:33] If you have made it your lives mission
[02:06:38] If you have made it your lives mission to stop school shootings in the united states of america
[02:06:45] How can you not?
[02:06:47] channeled as same energy for APEC. How can you say on the one hand American
[02:06:54] kids shouldn't be dying in schools and then also on the other hand say but
[02:06:59] Iranian kids should be blown up in their schools. Palestinian kids should be
[02:07:05] blown up in their schools. Lebanese kids should be blown up in their schools
[02:07:08] and we should give the country doing that unlimited tax dollars and
[02:07:12] unlimited funds. How does this not add in your mind? I'll give you one more
[02:07:19] domestic example, right? Because people will say, okay, that's Israel, that's
[02:07:25] foreign policy issue, maybe they just, they're races who cares. Okay, these guys
[02:07:30] have fought back against NRA funding, tooth and nail. It's an honorable
[02:07:37] cause. It's an honorable cause in their advocacy, right? These guys hate NRA. Why they hate NRA? Because
[02:07:44] NRA is the lobby that makes sure that there's no real legislation written that would create a sense
[02:07:57] of safety and security, common sense gun reforms, common sense gun legislation that people want,
[02:08:03] like universal uh universal uh background checks the NRA has made that impossible right so they're
[02:08:11] very familiar with moneyed interest from special interest groups coming in and and destroying
[02:08:18] the democratic process they fucking hate that right they hate that shit
[02:08:27] what is this the reality of genocide an important read oh god
[02:08:33] Like, Shannon Watts would understandably yell at people if they were backed by the NRA.
[02:08:42] If there was a Democrat that was, like, backed by the NRA to the tune of $50 million, Shannon
[02:08:48] Watts would be like, what the fuck are you doing?
[02:08:49] You're supposed to be a Democrat, and you're backed by one of the most significant,
[02:08:55] MAGA-funded, special interest groups in the country.
[02:08:58] You're not a real Democrat.
[02:09:00] Well, Shannon Watts is doing that for APEC. APEC is also mega. APEC is also funded almost entirely by Republican billionaires.
[02:09:10] Right?
[02:09:15] What the fuck?
[02:09:18] It's the same goddamn argument. You just don't see Israel's victims as human beings. That's the difference.
[02:09:26] the
[02:09:30] I mean, there is some truth to that sentiment.
[02:09:58] Mike Wall says, Mayor Mamdani, here's why your threat to arrest Prime Minister Netanyahu
[02:10:01] in New York City in the UNGA is not going to happen. The U.S. is not part of the Rome
[02:10:06] Statue that underlies the ICC. UN Headquarters Agreement grants diplomatic protections to visiting
[02:10:11] heads of government. Head of State Immunity applies and federal authority trumps any local
[02:10:16] mayor's wishes. This is pure political theater. Oh yeah? So can the new Supreme
[02:10:27] leader of the Islamic Republic show up and get that same protection?
[02:10:50] Are Greeks with Dr. Jahad?
[02:10:53] Our Greeks white is one of those questions that separates casual races from elite race
[02:10:57] scientists.
[02:10:58] Oh, I think Ben Shapiro loved the Odyssey, by the way.
[02:11:02] Yeah, they arrested Maduro on Caracas.
[02:11:07] What happened to the head of state protection?
[02:11:12] By the way, so that was, you know, the Zoran thing, but we got more to talk about.
[02:11:20] We got situation monitoring, ladies and gentlemen, breaking news.
[02:11:29] As John Federman is being asked about DSA not being traditional Democrats, Fox News learns
[02:11:35] that it turns out the IRGC did kill American troops, two of them and Jordan.
[02:11:40] Oh my God, that would be so funny if they had to get John Federman to respond to this.
[02:11:48] i'm so bummed
[02:11:51] getting real-time feedback from john federman on an issue that he doesn't
[02:11:54] have talking points for that would be crazy
[02:11:58] especially an issue as important as this is uh... some new news from sent com
[02:12:03] here
[02:12:04] uh... got lucas thompson was live in telly for us lucas what are you hearing
[02:12:10] i said we've just learned from the u s military central command in charge of
[02:12:14] all
[02:12:15] U.S. forces in the Middle East had two American service members who have been killed, and
[02:12:20] one is still missing after an Iranian missile attack on a base in Jordan, additionally.
[02:12:25] I think four of them also had to be EVAC, Medevac, too.
[02:12:30] We've learned that four American service members...
[02:12:34] Four more...
[02:12:35] I mean, three more for Israel, you know?
[02:12:41] Former U.S. Air Force pilot close to U.S. Central Command says that at least three
[02:12:44] three to five more soldiers on Medevac planes will probably not survive.
[02:12:47] There are also 15 other soldiers with serious life-threatening injuries whose fate remain
[02:12:50] unclear.
[02:12:51] Yeah, two killed, one missing, 15 life-threatening severe injuries being airlifted to Germany.
[02:12:58] Three to five on board the Medevac who will probably not make it to Germany alive, dozens
[02:13:01] of minor injuries and troops took shrapnel and debris, more traumatic brain injuries
[02:13:05] than anyone currently knows.
[02:13:08] Now this is speculative.
[02:13:09] I don't know how reliable this information is.
[02:13:12] But I will say this.
[02:13:14] If you were to ask me what I think the actual numbers look like, I would say something along
[02:13:20] those lines, because that's usually how it goes.
[02:13:24] If there were two troops that died, that means there were 20 troops around him, okay?
[02:13:29] That's not how this goes.
[02:13:30] Like, Iran doesn't have the capabilities of hitting small munitions like that that
[02:13:37] are only capable of killing two people, right?
[02:13:40] it's clear that there are far more that were that were probably hurt badly in
[02:13:48] the process. Hold on.
[02:13:59] We're wounded. They were transferred to Jordanian hospitals and have since been
[02:14:04] discharged. This all coming at last night after at least two intermediate
[02:14:10] range ballistic missiles fired from Iran hit a base in Jordan, not long after U.S. Air
[02:14:17] Force personnel had arrived, part of President Trump's reinforcements at 16 squadron as well
[02:14:22] as at 35 squadron.
[02:14:24] Of course, U.S. Air Force personnel are deployed throughout the Middle East.
[02:14:28] We've been heavily focused on the two U.S. Navy aircraft carrier strike groups
[02:14:32] that are in the Arabian Sea.
[02:14:35] The air force isn't as public about where it deploys its forces, but Jordan is a major
[02:14:40] hub along with bases here in Israel, also Qatar, UAE, and of course in Saudi Arabia.
[02:14:48] But Jordan has been a major hub, so once again, Asia.
[02:14:51] Two American service members have been killed.
[02:14:54] One is still missing and four were wounded in an Iranian ballistic missile attack on
[02:14:59] a base in Jordan last evening.
[02:15:02] It is the first American casualties in months since those six U.S. Army personnel were killed
[02:15:07] in the early days of the war in the attack on Kuwait.
[02:15:10] Yeah, terrible, terrible news this afternoon, Lucas.
[02:15:15] And we were anticipating, we heard some things about it and just wanted to make sure and
[02:15:19] confirm that before we went on air with it, Lucas, so thank you for that report.
[02:15:24] As far as the four American service members that were injured and have now been medically
[02:15:29] evacuated.
[02:15:30] You know, anything more about how bad those injuries are and how they were injured?
[02:15:36] It appears they were injured when these Iranian ballistic missiles hit their intended target
[02:15:42] at this base in Jordan.
[02:15:43] Let me read the statement from U.S. Central Command, I should say, on July 17, two U.S.
[02:15:48] service members in Jordan were killed in action as U.S. Central Command and partner
[02:15:52] forces defended against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks, additionally,
[02:15:57] one service member is currently missing in action.
[02:15:59] American service members were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals they
[02:16:05] have since been discharged. Other personnel were evacuated for minor
[02:16:10] injuries have returned to duty. Out of respect for the family, SENTCOM will be
[02:16:14] withholding additional information including the identities of the fallen
[02:16:18] until 24 hours after the next of kin have been notified. So this is the
[02:16:23] alert from the US military central command about two American service
[02:16:27] members being killed. One is still missing. Four wounded in action, treated
[02:16:32] the Jordanian hospitals and discharged. But earlier, we also spoke about other
[02:16:37] wounded American service members. 10 U. S. Army soldiers, three U. S. Navy
[02:16:42] sailors have been wounded in recent days before this attack last night on
[02:16:47] this air base in Jordan. I should. And we knew that things were amping up
[02:16:51] because a senior IRGC commander this week was warning that if U. S.
[02:16:55] strikes continued for a couple of more days and it had been going on for seven consecutive
[02:17:01] nights, Lucas, that Iran would move into a phase of, quote, full-scale offensive operations.
[02:17:07] So they were certainly ready to amp this up, and it seems like they have.
[02:17:12] We have reached out to the White House, Lucas.
[02:17:15] I have been trying to get some sort of a question.
[02:17:17] I have a question.
[02:17:18] Why are they evacuating the wounded to Germany and not Israel?
[02:17:20] Surely this is closer to take care of them.
[02:17:23] I mean, look.
[02:17:24] The German facilities are the main facilities that they have so that's the reason why.
[02:17:33] I would love to be like, oh excuse the, Israel would never have them.
[02:17:37] He's a selfish or whatever but I think there's a, it's because it's the biggest one.
[02:17:45] Comment from them this afternoon and I was just checking.
[02:17:51] Fox isn't their military obliterated according to you. Yeah, if I'm a I'm a Fox News Watcher
[02:17:58] Homophobia got y'all missing awesome. Good hit. Okay, dude
[02:18:01] So guys, um, excuse my confusion here because I'm a lifelong Fox News Watcher
[02:18:07] I'm a Donald Trump supporter and I'm a little bit confused today. How did
[02:18:13] Iran
[02:18:14] Kill American soldiers. I thought their military had been destroyed. That's what my president told me
[02:18:21] so that's that's what's like confusing to me because I was thinking like they
[02:18:29] have no Navy totally obliterated Iran is Iran is really worried it's just very
[02:18:35] strange because like I've been told I've been told over and over again that it's
[02:18:40] fucking done it's a done deal Iran is just like too stupid not to come and
[02:18:44] negotiate instantly and for some reason it almost feels like
[02:18:51] It almost feels like maybe we didn't win the last 100 times that Donald Trump claimed we won
[02:19:00] Trump hasn't posted for 17 hours, where are you mr. President? I need to hear from you
[02:19:07] This is Fox the White House is called a lid meaning we will not expect to see or hear the president make any public appearance for the rest of the day
[02:19:14] There's also this obviously Trump or to sec comp to open the gates of hell on Iran channel 14
[02:19:20] I like that at least channel 14. He's got a lid, but
[02:19:24] He's got a lid, but the lid doesn't extend to other countries. Maybe
[02:19:40] They're definitely planning the car guy on invasion. Oh for sure
[02:19:44] for sure I mean we shall see what happens tomorrow that's the real test that's the real question
[02:19:52] because you know before market open Donald Trump famously will always do one big battle
[02:20:00] one big blow-up only to then fucking turn around only to then turn around and be like
[02:20:06] just kidding Iran it we're about to do a deal any moment now any any any second now
[02:20:13] There's a World Cup final to attend tomorrow, so he will wait.
[02:20:16] Oh, that's the other thing.
[02:20:17] That's true.
[02:20:18] There's the World Cup final tomorrow.
[02:20:20] We haven't seen anything from the President just yet.
[02:20:25] Of course, the question is now, does this change the strategy for the President, for
[02:20:30] the administration moving forward?
[02:20:33] I do remember, Lucas, I'm sure you do too, at the beginning of all of this, when
[02:20:37] people were asking about boots on the ground, what happens if we lose American
[02:20:42] soldiers, how that would impact his decision making, and he seemed to indicate that sometimes
[02:20:50] people get hurt and sometimes soldiers die when there is a conflict like this.
[02:20:55] That's right.
[02:20:57] We heard from the early days of the war at the Pentagon briefing, both from-
[02:21:01] It's wallow all the time, baby.
[02:21:02] ... the chairman and Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Cain, that casualties are part
[02:21:07] of war.
[02:21:08] We heard it from President Trump as well, that casualties are inevitable.
[02:21:11] You mentioned seven straight nights of American airstrikes inside Iran.
[02:21:16] Really the first airstrike started back last week on July 7th when President Trump was
[02:21:21] in anchor for the NATO summit and Iran attacked those three commercial ships, transiting
[02:21:26] the Strait of Ramouz, one from Saudi Arabia, two others from the United Arab Emirates.
[02:21:32] Officials say that really irked President Trump, Iran breaking the memorandum of understanding
[02:21:37] where President Trump saved the ceasefires over.
[02:21:40] That was the interest to restart the war.
[02:21:43] Certainly major combat operations in the skies over Iran.
[02:21:46] And we've been slowly seeing the Pentagon ramp up the target list.
[02:21:51] Before it was Kesha Mylan trying to reopen the Shredor Formus.
[02:21:54] In the last few nights we've seen bridges being taken out around Bandar Abbas.
[02:21:58] That's like the Norfolk of Iran.
[02:22:00] It's their largest naval base.
[02:22:02] It's a large commercial port and sits right on the Shredor Formus.
[02:22:06] President Trump and the Pentagon want to see the Shredor Formus open to commercial
[02:22:09] traffic, but since these airstrikes have ramped up, traffic in Strait of Formouz has
[02:22:14] slowed to a trickle.
[02:22:15] In fact, it's been over two months since US warships made that dangerous passage to the
[02:22:20] Strait of Formouz as well.
[02:22:22] Look, just very quickly here before I let you go, because I'm just, I'm reading the
[02:22:25] SENCOM statement along with you as well, and I'm just, it's obviously details are
[02:22:29] limited as they are still talking with families, respecting the families, they're trying
[02:22:33] to withhold as much information about these fallen warriors as much as they can, but
[02:22:38] just trying to understand what happened here. Do you know if the Jordanians were launching
[02:22:45] defensive airstrikes in return? Do you know if that what happened here? They just didn't
[02:22:50] catch a couple of these ballistic missiles? Most likely the U.S. Air Force was launching
[02:22:57] strike missions from this base in Jordan. I got a diet American do. This is straight
[02:23:06] from the reflecting pool. For those of you who don't know, this is a very special American
[02:23:12] 250th birthday diet do. It's the reflecting pool color, which is of course the American flag blue.
[02:23:22] They tap it from the reflecting pool. This is made with all of the toxic sludge
[02:23:28] that happens to be American flag blue.
[02:23:30] Delicious. And I got a club sandwich from Wawa, my favorite. I've talked about this before when
[02:23:41] Wawa started giving, started making club sandwiches, my life changed. And every time I'm in the east
[02:23:48] coast and there's a Wawa nearby, I down one of these bad boys for good old, for old time's sake.
[02:23:55] Again, we've been very public.
[02:23:57] We see the CENTCOM video showing the two aircraft carriers
[02:24:00] in the Arabian Sea.
[02:24:01] We don't see the maps.
[02:24:03] We show them frequently of all the US naval assets.
[02:24:06] We normally don't talk about US Air Force assets
[02:24:09] in the Middle East, because a lot of these countries,
[02:24:11] frankly, don't want it out there.
[02:24:13] They don't want it very public, although we have an idea,
[02:24:15] thanks to plane spotters and just monitoring open source
[02:24:18] media when some of these jets arrive.
[02:24:21] But when you look at Jordan, Saudi Arabia,
[02:24:23] al-Dawf from the United Arab Emirates in Qatar, al-Udeid, where President Trump spoke just
[02:24:28] a year ago, in the Middle East.
[02:24:31] The air force is deploying to countries throughout the Middle East, including here in Israel.
[02:24:35] In fact, dozens of more refueling planes are headed here, not just to Ben-Gurion,
[02:24:41] but to the international airport here, but also to the desert, to Israeli air force
[02:24:45] bases.
[02:24:46] More fighter squadrons are heading in.
[02:24:48] I was looking back.
[02:25:19] four squadrons a lot of these are based in from Germany from Italy and of course
[02:25:22] some from the United States as well okay Lucas stay right there we'll likely
[02:25:28] come back to you be sure to like and subscribe for all the Fox News latest on
[02:25:33] YouTube and catch full shows streaming now on Fox one where Lucas gonna go
[02:25:39] bro he's in Tel Aviv he's stuck
[02:25:49] Oh shit, we got a chatter this said
[02:25:55] We got a chatter this said just voted in the Troy or Troy or a top Troy a thong
[02:26:04] Troy Yoda top a thong Troy Yoda thong
[02:26:16] Damn I had a hard time saying that
[02:26:19] ua is scared
[02:26:23] iran farce news agency quoted a well-informed military source fifty united
[02:26:26] states tax iran infrastructure the airports of dubai and oba dobby in the
[02:26:29] ports of flujera
[02:26:31] and jubilee must be immediately evacuated
[02:26:34] breaking news ua e ministry of foreign affairs as we express our deep concern
[02:26:38] regarding the developments in the region call for immediate cessation of
[02:26:40] escalation or
[02:26:42] of escalation
[02:26:45] I don't get it
[02:26:48] But y'all back that horse and yes, it's hoagie fest so obviously I got a chicken salad hoagie as well
[02:27:05] I just what what I don't understand is
[02:27:08] But like this is what you guys wanted, right? Like what are you are you backing out now? I don't get it
[02:27:18] Yeah, is there a problem with the war that you ordered?
[02:27:25] Because I thought y'all ordered this war and now it kind of feels like you didn't you don't like it
[02:27:32] Most of a Haman a statement. Oh my god from Baraka of Eden
[02:27:38] This guy even has most of a common a's fucking phone number whose phone number doesn't this guy have
[02:27:44] Iran's Supreme Leader, most of Bahamini, the great Satan's repeated violations of the
[02:28:08] memorandum of understanding signed between the presidents of Iran and the United States
[02:28:11] once again proved to everyone how worth is an unreliable the signature of the
[02:28:17] US president is and that bullying hegemonic ambitions and savagery are
[02:28:22] inseparable elements of the American way and doctrine the great Satan has once
[02:28:25] again revealed his true faiths that a mask so that this dark experience of
[02:28:30] crime and bad faith will stand as yet another powerful testament to America's
[02:28:34] deceitfulness irrationality untrustworthiness and wickedness now
[02:28:39] now that the american enemy is seeking to ignite war and even incur even heavier costs and greater
[02:28:44] disgrace it should know that the beloved iranian nation and the acts of resistance have unforgettable
[02:28:50] lessons in store for it.
[02:28:52] The bravery of the fighters of islam and the courage of the people of iran's southern
[02:28:56] region in recent days have already demonstrated examples of those lessons.
[02:29:00] Okay. I mean, that feels like he's not a big fan. I'm going to be honest.
[02:29:11] I don't think he's a big fan of the American government. It feels like
[02:29:22] Now, here's what's interesting. Iran begun, Iran has begun to adapt to the U.S.
[02:29:27] their defense system fire and ballistic missile that travel at extremely high speeds and can maneuver
[02:29:32] as they
[02:29:34] as they streak back towards earth according to us who spoke to washington journal
[02:29:38] while she journal reports additionally iran has proven an ability to hit sensitive targets in the
[02:29:42] middle east raising concerns of the regime is getting targeting data and assistance from china
[02:29:46] and or russia remember i told you
[02:29:57] It's TIP for TAP.
[02:30:07] It's Russia, most likely.
[02:30:13] or in exchange for Ukraine.
[02:30:32] Russia is mad that the United States is allowing NATO to give targeting, like to give strike
[02:30:41] targets. Russia is mad that NATO is giving additional intel to the Ukrainians to strike
[02:30:52] critical infrastructure, oil and gas and energy infrastructure in Russia with pinpoint accuracy.
[02:30:57] So it's obviously, you know, they're doing the same thing. They're responding in kind
[02:31:03] by giving Iranians the opportunity to do the same. In recent hours, we have been
[02:31:08] and witnesses to give you a shift in the strategy behind the Iranian missile attacks
[02:31:11] over the past few days, the primary target in the Middle East has been the Mu'fouq
[02:31:18] Salty air base in Jordan, a facility crucially Israel's defense.
[02:31:20] Indeed, at the start of the war, the majority of the Iranian missiles fired at Israel were
[02:31:23] intercepted over Iran, which serves as Israel's most critical air defensive layer.
[02:31:29] If Iranian attacks continue at this pace, the U.S. will sooner or later exhaust its
[02:31:33] stock's Patriot missiles, supplies that have already been significantly depleted
[02:31:36] in recent months, leaving Israel far more vulnerable should have become directly involved in the
[02:31:40] war.
[02:31:42] Every time these guys do something, it literally feels like a chess move.
[02:31:45] I'm not even kidding when I say this.
[02:31:48] It's not a joke.
[02:31:51] Every single attack, no matter how wasteful it looks, is literally for the next step.
[02:32:00] They're always moving two steps ahead, always.
[02:32:05] time they opened up the big salvos initially right they dumped their older
[02:32:10] munitions and everyone was like oh they have nothing they have nothing they don't
[02:32:14] have new technology meanwhile the reason why they were dumping large salvos
[02:32:20] over and over again both on Israel Bahrain and all these other places was
[02:32:24] specifically to exhaust the defensive munitions that the the American side
[02:32:30] it has. Then they started lowering the number of munitions that they were lobbing in the
[02:32:40] direction of both Israel and all these other allied nations, and started deliberately targeting
[02:32:46] radar systems. They shut off Israel's eyes and ears in the region, making it more difficult
[02:32:52] to calculate ballistic munition trajectory ahead of time through the network of eyes
[02:32:57] in years that Israel and America has. Then they started penetrating the Israeli defense
[02:33:07] with far less munitions. So while America, while the United States of America was looking
[02:33:17] at like oh they're sending less missiles, that means that we've successfully attritted
[02:33:22] their striking capabilities. The reality wasn't that their striking capabilities have been
[02:33:28] significantly deteriorated. It was that they had no necessity to continue lobbing all of
[02:33:35] the missiles that they were lobbing. Plus, any kind of pushback did not actually permanently
[02:33:46] diminished their strike capabilities, regardless, and all of the attacks on Iranian TELs only
[02:34:02] made it a little bit more difficult for them to continue lobbing missiles in the direction
[02:34:07] of Israel.
[02:34:11] Bonser Barry's tweet has the New York Times analysis on it.
[02:34:14] Let's see.
[02:34:15] Oh, this one, New York Times US officials offered a recounting of the last five days of Iran's
[02:34:20] attacks on Jordan.
[02:34:22] Jordan obviously plays a major role in the Israeli defenses, and Iran recognizes that.
[02:34:28] So now they're eliminating the installations like the anti-missile systems that exist
[02:34:33] in Jordan.
[02:34:41] This is also a huge, huge point of leverage for Iran.
[02:35:04] Why?
[02:35:08] That you can sell a sandwich wasn't as good.
[02:35:11] As I remember it, somewhat disappointing.
[02:35:16] So.
[02:35:19] I would.
[02:35:20] Okay, chat.
[02:35:24] Why would.
[02:35:28] Opening up.
[02:35:29] More avenues to strike Israel with ease be a significant problem for America if America is going to invade Iran
[02:35:40] Why would that be an issue right
[02:35:44] I'll tell you why because the primary focus and the entire reason why we are even striking Iran to begin with is because of Israel
[02:35:54] so in some ways
[02:35:56] we're cutting out the like in some ways because our primary focus because our
[02:36:05] primary focus is defending Israel and because our goal is to advance Israel's
[02:36:13] interest in the region if Israel is under imminent threat like far more
[02:36:22] significant threat by iranian ballistic munitions
[02:36:26] we're probably going to second-guess a potential invasion
[02:36:31] that invading iran we will most likely try to focus our efforts
[02:36:35] on defending israel in the interim and then
[02:36:40] we will focus our efforts on probably trying to
[02:36:44] get a ceasefire at which point iran will have even
[02:36:48] more leverage
[02:36:50] last round of attacks operation at steam fury one point oh
[02:36:54] iran
[02:36:55] dot the nuclear weapon of trade
[02:36:58] control over the state of or moves
[02:37:01] this time around
[02:37:02] if iran has these striking capabilities
[02:37:06] if iran can establish
[02:37:10] uh... uh... uh... far higher rate of successive strikes
[02:37:14] on israeli soil
[02:37:16] that is even bigger advantage
[02:37:22] bb massively shifted israel's war with iran onto the united states and sat back
[02:37:26] and wash it on full from the comfort comfort of the sofa
[02:37:29] indeed a remarkable outcome for many hours things currently standing for the
[02:37:33] u.s. into a strategically self-defeating war with iran and the hormones crisis
[02:37:35] that followed
[02:37:36] now america owns the military economic consequences while israel can uh...
[02:37:39] largely remain on the sidelines
[02:37:42] I don't think Israel is going to largely remain on the sidelines.
[02:37:47] I think there is a reason why Iran is striking Jordan.
[02:37:53] There's a reason why Iran is striking Jordan.
[02:37:56] It's because they want to strike Israel.
[02:38:12] Jordan plays a profoundly important role in interceptions, taking away a big chunk of the
[02:38:26] burden from the immediate Israeli defenses.
[02:38:31] If Jordan falls, missile penetration through the Israeli defenses will increase, especially
[02:38:42] cheaper drones that are far slower than you that Iran can send in these massive barrages.
[02:38:50] Huh, the first attack hit the U.S. force in Jordan struck a residential facility in King
[02:38:58] Faisal Air Base, winning as many as five U.S. service members they said. This is for the
[02:39:02] New York Times reporting on the Jordanian incident. The second hit a base in eastern
[02:39:11] Jordan where US Black Hawk helicopters were operating from, damaging a significant number
[02:39:15] of them.
[02:39:16] Then, 48 hours ago, Iranian missile said Jordan's Mawafak Salty Air Base in Azrakh, which is
[02:39:23] the same base where troops were killed on Friday, the officials said.
[02:39:27] The earlier strike wounded about 20 troops rushing to take cover in bunkers, no one
[02:39:31] was killed in that barrage.
[02:39:32] But on Friday, when the Iranians struck the base again, two US troops were killed.
[02:39:38] The flurry of attacks and the losses they have caused are a sign that Iranian forces
[02:39:41] not only still have ample missile stocks, but also have become more adept at evading U.S.
[02:39:47] defense systems, U.S. air defense systems, said the U.S. officials who were speaking
[02:39:50] on the condition of anonymity to discuss operational manners.
[02:40:01] By the way, dying before you could actually take cover is an indication of what, I'm
[02:40:10] asking the classroom, this is streamer university, but instead we're doing geopolitical affairs.
[02:40:16] What could it be an indication of that the United States troops positioned inside of
[02:40:21] a US air base are not running fast enough to get to cover?
[02:40:31] That's right. No radar and no comms systems. You guessed it. Brilliant answer, chatters.
[02:40:39] Congratulations. Eyes and ears are gone. Okay. That's how it works. They were sleeping.
[02:40:52] dog
[02:40:55] It's the fucking us military there is no they're sleeping
[02:41:01] You alarms are supposed to start blaring at least 15 minutes ahead of time or however long the early advanced warning systems
[02:41:09] Uh work i'm not you know an expert in this stuff
[02:41:16] And you're supposed to get your fucking ass to bed
[02:41:18] I mean you get your ass out of bed and go to the fucking bunker his first person footage
[02:41:22] captured by American service member showing the moment Iranian missiles struck
[02:41:27] Muafak Salty air base in Jordan. The strikes hit the area where the living
[02:41:31] modules were located, resulting in the loss of at least two American soldiers.
[02:41:35] With one service member reported missing and four others injured. According to
[02:41:39] US CENTCOM, the soldiers lost their lives while defending the base against
[02:41:44] drones and ballistic missiles, while the four wounded service members sustained
[02:41:48] serious injuries. The injured personnel have since been discharged from the hospital. The
[02:41:53] strike occurred on the night of July 18th. This is first person footage captured by American
[02:41:58] service members.
[02:42:00] It's cooked.
[02:42:13] I should put in with audio instead.
[02:42:36] Okay, they're literally running into the bunker.
[02:42:39] No fucking air raid sirens.
[02:42:42] No sirens. They're running into the bunker after. After the first or the second
[02:42:51] fucking bomb exploded on base. That's what's really important to understand
[02:42:57] about this footage, okay? No sirens. No early advanced warning systems. They're
[02:43:06] trying to panic rush into the bunkers after bombs have already dropped on the base
[02:43:17] What kind like what the fuck are they thinking bro, they were they're just gonna sit there
[02:43:23] With no radar at all
[02:43:36] it seems I'm fine
[02:43:42] is it f-ing? Oh, it is f-ing, isn't it?
[02:43:51] What the fuck?
[02:43:54] That's so weird, dude. I mean, I don't know if it's the thunderstorms or not.
[02:43:59] Hold on.
[02:44:04] It could be the thunderstorms. Hold on. I got to get the door
[02:44:08] Being about at least a much higher casualty rate than what we have seen so far
[02:44:12] Now what was the over the point of all of this B?
[02:44:17] It if this is what the direction is that that seems to them be aimed at making sure that it is a much more
[02:44:24] Significant degrading of Iran's ability to close the streets already
[02:44:30] we've seen that before the MOU and during the MOU the US was trying to establish a southern
[02:44:36] corridor in Omani waters that would be militarily fortified and as a result the Iranians would
[02:44:44] not have the same ability of closing that. So if war resumed part of the strait would
[02:44:50] still be open. You take that in combination with what this could then be an effort to
[02:44:55] really deeply degrade Iran's ability to close the strait and then you're starting
[02:44:58] to see a clearer picture of a military reopening of the straight
[02:45:03] out as a whole, which would be nevertheless different from an
[02:45:06] attempt to overthrow the regime or to do the type of regime
[02:45:10] change. What is happening? Is this still fucking? Is it
[02:45:13] still out? What is happening? I don't get it. It's fine on
[02:45:16] my end.
[02:45:25] We've been back, right? Chatters are still complaining
[02:45:28] that it's like f-ing.
[02:45:44] Why aren't they sleeping in the bunker?
[02:45:50] Mom, can you get the print out?
[02:45:53] Oh, hell yeah.
[02:45:58] Oh my god, Haley Steven Sretanagar and Senator Gary Peters are all participating in a Konga line. What the fuck?
[02:46:28] I've only seen her disexcited about talking about Michigan and Israel.
[02:46:58] One makes sense.
[02:47:15] The other doesn't.
[02:47:17] We're going to get picked up like 10, 10 minutes I think 15 minutes, 10 minutes, I'm like that.
[02:47:46] Oh man.
[02:48:01] Do you fuck with black holes?
[02:48:03] Like space exploration?
[02:48:06] Wait, are we getting TD cam now?
[02:48:16] Crazy that Jocelyn Benson is there when her husband used to work with Abdul when he was
[02:48:24] the health director for Detroit.
[02:48:31] The U.S. can't protect its Gulf region vassals or its own base against Iranian air power.
[02:48:37] That lesson was learned in March and forgotten by June about the extent of Trump's memory
[02:48:41] capacity, says Mark Ames.
[02:48:47] Lightly the bunkers that video is from, as I said last night, the impact of the Iranian
[02:48:51] ballistic missiles was the deleting birthing area for troops at a time when the area would
[02:48:56] most likely be occupied by troops, not on a mission.
[02:49:01] Shelters in this area are simple and made of concrete, they're not designed to withstand
[02:49:04] the impact of a ballistic missile, they are designed to protect you from the fragmentation
[02:49:07] of a nearby explosion.
[02:49:09] shelters usually set up between the births
[02:49:11] so that you don't have to go far during incoming attacks to find some safety
[02:49:15] there are shelters further away
[02:49:18] if you have time to get there
[02:49:20] these are some older examples but representative of what troops had available
[02:49:24] to them last night
[02:49:35] it is kinda wild how much money we spend
[02:49:39] and yet the american military is so ass
[02:49:43] like with the amount of health care that were fucking wasting away you would
[02:49:47] assume
[02:49:48] that these motherfuckers are staying in like five-star accommodations right
[02:50:00] i cannot believe i lost ten k people at that one fucking f by the way twitch i
[02:50:05] I hate you so much. You are the biggest piece of shit as a platform.
[02:50:10] It's crazy.
[02:50:13] Like literally total wipe out one fucking F.
[02:50:28] It kicked us out. Yeah. No, I know. And it wasn't even on my end.
[02:50:34] it was just like uh... website related issue
[02:50:44] it's expensive to have free health care so what do you mean yeah it's also
[02:50:47] expensive to have
[02:50:49] uh... the permanent war all around the world it seems
[02:50:56] of
[02:51:03] the
[02:51:09] It happened different on all my devices.
[02:51:17] Instead, you have a triliner, I know.
[02:51:30] Change, operations that clearly was part of the plan earlier on in the first four in February.
[02:51:41] Having said that, this may be the American plan.
[02:51:44] I still find it very difficult to see how it would be successful.
[02:51:48] I think it would bring about a huge risk of large number of casualties, would make
[02:51:53] it more difficult to go back to the negotiating table.
[02:51:57] And also, I think once you actually have ground troops, even if it's elite forces and a very
[02:52:03] small number on Iranian soil, it will fuel nationalism beyond what we saw even in February.
[02:52:11] And that is also something I think the U.S. side miscalculated or underestimated back
[02:52:16] in February.
[02:52:17] And it appears to be another count all underestimation now.
[02:52:21] I think it depends on when it comes to the tolerance of the two sides.
[02:52:28] The United States basically is using GCC countries to attack Iran, and Iran's response goes to
[02:52:34] the GCC countries.
[02:52:35] They're hitting some targets as we've learned moments ago, two hours ago.
[02:52:40] Quatey government has announced that Iran has hit one of their major power plants and
[02:52:45] the desalination plant.
[02:52:47] Iran is also threatened to switch to economic targets, if the US doesn't stop doing
[02:52:50] war crimes. Yeah, of course, that also obviously makes sense. I said this already. I said this,
[02:52:57] I said this yesterday, and I said it the day prior. This is going as predicted.
[02:53:04] If the United States of America starts hitting targets that aren't military installations
[02:53:09] and starts actually hitting like infrastructure, possibly hitting infrastructure because they are
[02:53:15] are interested in potentially doing the unthinkable, which is the unthinkable, which is obviously
[02:53:30] invading Iran militarily.
[02:53:32] Then Iran, in an act of escalation or following up America on the escalation ladder, will retaliate
[02:53:40] in kind and strike back against civilian infrastructure.
[02:54:02] Is Trump a young head?
[02:54:03] I mean, I don't know considering that he's like entertaining boots on the ground.
[02:54:08] which they started rationing the power right now in Kuwait,
[02:54:12] which is a major issue, it seems.
[02:54:15] And how do you see that point of tolerance on the two sides?
[02:54:19] What would be that moment that someone,
[02:54:22] maybe in GCC countries says, we're done,
[02:54:25] we're not gonna do that.
[02:54:27] You remember the operation freedom
[02:54:29] that they started before the MOU, signing the MOU.
[02:54:33] Is that gonna happen again?
[02:54:35] So that is one scenario,
[02:54:37] scenario in which is being reported that Trump is golfing right now. I mean, he's not golfing
[02:54:40] here. Let me tell you, it's fucking raining out here. So I guess he's not in DC. 200 K
[02:54:49] Saudi troops incoming and you're going to look real silly. I agree. If 200,000 Saudi
[02:54:53] troops militarily invade Iran, I will look very goofy. I will look, I will look like
[02:55:02] like a goofy, for sure.
[02:55:05] And she saw these GCC states say no to the US.
[02:55:09] But keep in mind, which GCC state said no to the US?
[02:55:13] It was Saudi Arabia.
[02:55:14] Saudi Arabia is another completely different dimension
[02:55:17] of power than Kuwait.
[02:55:18] Kuwait is completely dependent on the United States.
[02:55:21] Kuwait exists because of what the US did
[02:55:23] in the First Persian Gulf War, when the US,
[02:55:26] together with the UN coalition,
[02:55:28] expelled Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait.
[02:55:31] So we're talking about a country that has very little leverage over the United States.
[02:55:37] Same as Fouffle Bahrain at the end of the day.
[02:55:40] So the likelihood of that scenario, I find smaller than the likelihood of the opposite
[02:55:48] happening, that you actually have now a situation in which some of the GCC states
[02:55:53] are now the balance of their frustration, their frustrated with the U.S., their frustrated
[02:55:59] with Iran.
[02:56:00] In previous episodes, particularly in the beginning of the war, it was very clear the balance of frustration was with the U.S.
[02:56:07] They were very upset with the U.S. The entire situation was bad.
[02:56:10] You know, at one point you saw that the Omani foreign minister wrote this very harsh op-ed in New York, in the economists essentially saying that the United States has allowed its foreign policy to be dictated by Israel.
[02:56:24] these are very harsh words, particularly coming from Oman, which otherwise has been so quiet,
[02:56:29] so discreet, always operating behind the scenes, never trying to get attention to itself.
[02:56:36] That balance has now really shifted. There is much, much more anger at Iran than it is at the U.S.
[02:56:42] at this moment. There is anger because they believe that the Iranians should not have
[02:56:49] have attacked the ships during the MOU with the strikes.
[02:56:53] And as you remember, they were mostly GCC ships.
[02:56:58] They believe that this was an overreaction.
[02:57:00] They believe that the Iranians closed the straits too fast
[02:57:05] so that the Iranians moved up the escalation ladder much,
[02:57:08] much faster than what they done before.
[02:57:11] There was a meeting in Moskat.
[02:57:12] As you remember, where does it 10 days or so ago?
[02:57:14] Unfortunately, they failed.
[02:57:15] They did not reach a deal.
[02:57:18] But the Iranians, I'm going to flip it.
[02:57:19] I'm on.
[02:57:20] I need to take it.
[02:57:22] There's hours after the foreign minister had been in Moscow.
[02:57:25] So there is also a scenario now that in which many of these GCC
[02:57:29] states are believing that the Iranians are too aggressive.
[02:57:33] And as a result, um, also you're seeing a bit of more of a coalescence.
[02:57:37] Audio only chatter.
[02:57:38] Who is the guy that sounds like Trita Parsey, executive
[02:57:40] vice president of Quincy Institute?
[02:57:42] Damn.
[02:57:44] You got it, chatter.
[02:57:45] You got it.
[02:57:46] It is Trita Parsi, Executive Vice President of the Quincy Institute.
[02:57:57] What is this?
[02:57:59] Francis Goley is paid by England.
[02:58:01] 02 before 20 minute match time is crazy.
[02:58:12] Look out for a loser in a Hawaiian shirt and a girl in a dog collar they're looking
[02:58:15] for you for nefarious reasons? Oh yeah, I've heard that there are kick streamers that are
[02:58:31] trying to like disrupt the process for some weird or some strange reason to
[02:58:39] lose her shit.
[02:58:48] Why do your ops sound like a Yakuza sub-story dog?
[02:58:52] If you knew what they look like you would realize they're not like a Yakuza
[02:58:56] a sub-store at all that makes it sound way fucking cooler than they actually are by the
[02:59:06] way it is I will say it is very strange that just like literal stalking is so fucking normalized
[02:59:14] like straight up cyber stalking and like also literally physically stalking someone is so
[02:59:18] normalized that these guys like have entire communities dedicated to doing that shit
[02:59:25] you know what are you gonna do? Is it ready to go? Yeah of course. Okay. It's
[02:59:37] raining hard bringing an umbrella. I don't need it. A lot of gold in that room
[02:59:43] or any in the Trump White House? Yes I'm in the I'm in the president's ballroom
[02:59:47] dude you got me this is the guys that's why I came to DC it was a lie it wasn't
[02:59:58] it wasn't for listen I need you to understand something it actually wasn't
[03:00:07] it wasn't because I'm speaking to the College Democrats of America it's because
[03:00:11] I'm staying in the president's ballroom.
[03:00:16] In the presidential ball sack.
[03:00:18] GCC unity, which frankly throughout the war we hardly saw any of that at all.
[03:00:22] On the contrary, it was a massacred unity.
[03:00:25] It was during the war that the Emiratis pulled out of OPEC.
[03:00:29] It is after the war, but nevertheless, we just saw that the Saudis had stopped payment
[03:00:35] connections to the UAE, etc.
[03:00:37] So there was a lot of tensions.
[03:00:39] MRIs were trying to convince societies and others to actually join the war.
[03:00:43] Where is this coming from?
[03:00:44] Trump's reaction to Iran saying it's no longer following the memorandum of understanding.
[03:00:48] I couldn't care less.
[03:00:49] News Nation.
[03:00:50] I thought he had a lid.
[03:01:09] the
[03:01:16] what happened
[03:01:25] it's the paid through social subscription way is that what they're getting
[03:01:35] he wasn't doing interviews I thought he wasn't giving any uh... information out
[03:01:39] but he's out here first we heard from channel fourteen he's like talking to
[03:01:42] israeli news
[03:01:45] and on top of that he's talking to fucking uh... newsroom or a newsmax
[03:01:51] what's next bro easy or easy to do a one america news network
[03:01:55] hit two
[03:02:05] Yeah, I can't believe the president is a Patreon poster, or at least subscriber poster.
[03:02:12] It's incredible.
[03:02:16] Trump and his first reaction to the announcement that two US Earth members are killed in the
[03:02:20] Iranian attacks tolls news nation is very sad.
[03:02:22] It's a very sad thing.
[03:02:23] We hate to see it happen.
[03:02:24] It's in service to our country.
[03:02:26] Yeah, when he says our country, he means Israel, our country of Israel.
[03:02:35] Later after Ramon announced it was suspending his commitments under the interim agreement,
[03:02:40] Trump said he couldn't care less.
[03:02:46] He's more like only fans, I know.
[03:02:51] Ay, ay, ay.
[03:02:56] 10 of Scott County 44 vote Troy sweep.

[03:03:07] Sean Fane speaking at the Abula Rally.
[03:03:09] Let's hear from our goat.
[03:03:11] Oh, there's nothing like beating Detroit
[03:03:16] in the sounds of Eminem.
[03:03:18] Man, nothing.
[03:03:20] And there's also nothing better than being in a place
[03:03:22] where we all come together for a common cause.
[03:03:25] to reverse the worst wealth and equality
[03:03:28] in the history of this country
[03:03:29] and take back power for the working class.
[03:03:32] My goat.
[03:03:41] On behalf of a million active and retired members of the UAW,
[03:03:46] welcome to a proud union town.
[03:03:51] Michigan is a sacred place for the UAW.
[03:03:54] a home of the sit-down strikes of the 1930s that lit the labor movement and lit it on fire
[03:04:01] and gave birth to the American dream. An American dream that said working class people could have
[03:04:07] a dignified life. A life where you could raise a family, you could own a home, you could take
[03:04:20] the kids and the doctor without worrying about breaking the bank. You can retire. Know that
[03:04:26] you're going to be okay because you had a pension and health care that you earned.
[03:04:37] You know, but over the last 40 years corporate greed has wreaked havoc on our communities
[03:04:43] and the billionaire class turns around and tells us it's our fault.
[03:04:50] They tell us workers make too much money. They tell us pensions aren't realistic.
[03:05:00] They say that we don't deserve the dignity that we fought so hard to win.
[03:05:06] And then they told us that it wasn't a billionaire class we should blame. They
[03:05:13] They told us to blame immigrants.
[03:05:19] They tell us to blame people that look different than you, or love different than you, or pray
[03:05:24] different than you.
[03:05:29] And now that same billionaire class is pumping millions of dollars into our politics.
[03:05:38] All you have to do is turn on the TV here in Michigan and you see corporate and APAC
[03:05:43] funded bullshit blanketing the airwaves.
[03:05:56] The UAW had to send a cease and desist letter to the dark money super PAC running a TV ad
[03:06:02] with the UAW wheel and President Obama attempting to mislead voters.
[03:06:07] And you think about that.
[03:06:13] The same corporations of bayonaires who have screwed working people in this country over
[03:06:17] and over again are funneling dark money organizations.
[03:06:23] They don't have to tell you where their money comes from so they can blanket the
[03:06:27] airways with their bullshit and try to mislead working class people as they vote.
[03:06:32] is that okay with you? Hell no! Just like it's not okay that 12 billionaires and 90 billionaires
[03:06:42] are being quite anti-Semitic greedy for saying Israel shouldn't be able to buy this election
[03:06:48] and mislead voters. You're being anti-black too. While working class people struggle
[03:06:53] to afford groceries, struggle to keep the lights on and put gas in the tank, let alone
[03:06:59] pay for childcare, medical bills, and rents.
[03:07:02] Oh, they're here.
[03:07:04] All right, we'll see you on the other side in the second chat.
[03:07:07] You deserve better than this.
[03:07:07] Don't work in class, people deserve dignity.
[03:07:16] You're damn right we do.
[03:07:18] And if there's one thing I've learned in my 32 years
[03:07:21] as a member of the UAW, it's that the working class can
[03:07:25] only win what we're willing to fight for.
[03:07:28] This is a pick-aside moment.
[03:07:43] And the only reason we're in the position we're in in America right now is because
[03:07:47] too many Democrats can't decide who the fuck they want to stay in with.
[03:08:17] So, we need to make sure that whoever represents this state in Washington, D.C., brings the
[03:08:24] same fighting spirit that runs through our veins in the blue-colored towns across this
[03:08:29] state.
[03:08:32] And the fighter R you do once in the U.S. Senate is Abdul Al-Sahed.
[03:09:02] You know, a few weeks back, Abdul spoke to our UAW constitutional convention, where over
[03:09:11] a thousand UAW delegates gathered in Detroit.
[03:09:15] UAW members from all over the country, and from every part of Michigan, from Detroit to
[03:09:19] Flint to three rivers to northern Michigan, and they were on their feet.
[03:09:26] And these people also come from all over the political spectrum.
[03:09:28] We have members of the Republicans.
[03:09:30] We have members of the Democrats.
[03:09:31] We have members that are independent.
[03:09:33] We have members that don't give a damn about any of these parties.
[03:09:38] But the thing that was cool that day
[03:09:40] is they were all saying the same thing after Abdul spoke.
[03:09:43] They were saying, this guy understands me.
[03:09:46] This guy gets me.
[03:09:47] We love this guy.
[03:09:49] That's because working class people
[03:09:51] are done with politics as usual.
[03:09:53] Politics that tell us we can't think too big.
[03:10:06] We can't expect too much.
[03:10:08] We can't be too bold.
[03:10:11] It's the same thing the boss tells workers all the time.
[03:10:15] Don't ask for livable wages.
[03:10:17] Don't ask for good health care.
[03:10:19] Don't ask for a secure retirement.
[03:10:21] ask for time off, don't ask for dignity. And we know that's all bullshit. It's the same thing
[03:10:36] the companies told us in 2023. And then tens of thousands of auto workers had the courage
[03:10:43] to stand up against the big three and say, enough is enough.
[03:10:53] We struck all three companies at the same time, and we fought, and we won.
[03:11:03] It's what American Axel workers said last month.
[03:11:07] A thousand members of UAW Local 2093 went on strike.
[03:11:11] They never wavered and they won their demands.
[03:11:19] They fought and they won.
[03:11:24] Also in the last month, right here in Warren, Michigan, a thousand UAW Local 400 members
[03:11:29] of Bridgewater Interiors let the company know that if they wanted to fuck around, they were
[03:11:34] going to find out.
[03:11:46] So the company decided to give workers the raise that they deserved that they demanded.
[03:11:52] They fought and they won.
[03:11:58] You know, the political class always tells us not to ask for much.
[03:12:05] Don't ask for Medicare for all.
[03:12:07] Don't ask for billionaires to stop buying our political system.
[03:12:11] Don't ask for enough money to afford a damn life.
[03:12:16] Well, Abdul is calling bullshit on that.
[03:12:19] He's building a real working-class movement that, like our union says, loud and proud,
[03:12:33] we deserve better.
[03:12:40] That's why the UAW is going all out in the Senate primary and is going to fight like
[03:12:44] hell for Abdul because we know Abdul will fight like hell for us. When we elect Abdul, he won't
[03:13:02] be alone. He'll be joining a growing group of fighters for the working class. Another
[03:13:13] kind of political movement that is possible. It's one that's built by of and for working
[03:13:19] class people. And our next speaker knows all about building a movement. She's inspired
[03:13:33] millions to actually fight to run for office to go on strike. She's helped build one of
[03:13:39] the most inspiring political moments,
[03:13:41] I've movements that I've seen.
[03:13:44] And it's an honor to stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
[03:13:47] I've learned from her, and I know everyone this room has.
[03:13:50] So Detroit, please join me in welcoming
[03:13:53] this badass fighter for the working class,
[03:13:56] our friend, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
[03:14:00] A place, a place we can go
[03:14:05] Yeah, we'll ever feel what we want
[03:14:09] They ain't never ever, they ain't never ever
[03:14:13] Just give me trust and hold your hand
[03:14:16] Cause I know, I know, I know
[03:14:20] I know, I know, I know
[03:14:23] Hello Detroit!
[03:14:25] How are we feeling tonight?
[03:14:30] Good evening.
[03:14:33] It is such a pleasure and a privilege to be here with you all tonight.
[03:14:39] And I want to first thank UAW Pre...
[03:14:45] Yeah.
[03:14:48] At this point.
[03:14:51] All right.
[03:14:53] I think you're good. Yeah, okay, cool. All right ladies and gentlemen
[03:14:59] We are
[03:15:01] We're on the second leg of our journey here
[03:15:04] heading to the conference hall
[03:15:06] for the
[03:15:09] College Democrats of American National Convention where I will be delivering the opening remarks, right? Yeah, which is pretty much a session
[03:15:17] Yeah, opening up the general session
[03:15:19] Who are some of the other speakers? I know cat is gonna speak after me as well
[03:15:23] Yes, said
[03:15:26] Mailout spoke yesterday
[03:15:29] data Fox spoke and then
[03:15:31] We had we had just had date Jamie Raskin like 30 minutes ago. Oh damn. I miss Jamie Raskin. Yeah
[03:15:39] But who's speaking tonight I'm speaking and then who else
[03:15:48] Yeah, the panel went really well we were very satisfied
[03:15:52] Yeah, I did a panel earlier today off stream chat I where I spoke here's like a little Q&A thing that we did
[03:16:00] with DJ Fox and cat I was all like and
[03:16:11] Are the audio levels good chat
[03:16:19] Audio cable no
[03:16:22] Oh, they're no sounds good never mind. They're saying give us AOC back. Oh cuz AOC was talking
[03:16:30] Oh, that's crazy, bro. That's you know what fuck you chat here. All right, go go back
[03:16:38] to listening to AOC fuck you guys and then a majority in the Senate and we need a firewall
[03:16:48] against an administration that is held bent on tearing down
[03:16:53] in four years what it took this country 250 years to build.
[03:17:05] We saw it just a few nights ago
[03:17:11] in Trump's prime time address.
[03:17:14] And for those of you who wisely tuned it out,
[03:17:21] Donald Trump spent most of his speech rehashing
[03:17:25] the same big old tired lie that he actually, quote, unquote,
[03:17:31] won the 2020 election.
[03:17:37] And we know he will stop at nothing to stay empowered.
[03:17:42] And we know that it has nothing to do with true or false.
[03:17:48] They will do everything they can to try
[03:17:52] to overturn our democracy in November.
[03:17:55] And if we do not take back the House and the Senate,
[03:17:59] we're going to make it a whole lot easier
[03:18:01] for him and his cronies to do just that.
[03:18:05] So Michigan, we have no time to waste.
[03:18:09] question before us is how do we win a durable majority? How do we get out of
[03:18:20] this pattern that we seem to have been stuck in for years? This state knows it
[03:18:27] well. Six elections started off, six elections in a row, starting in 1992.
[03:18:35] Democratic presidential candidates won here in Michigan.
[03:18:39] In fact, it wasn't even particularly close in most of those contests.
[03:18:45] But then in 2016, something shifted.
[03:18:48] Not just here in Michigan, but across the country.
[03:18:53] Not just with Democrats, but also Republicans.
[03:18:58] And to many political watchers, it seemed that the laws of political nature
[03:19:04] totally upended. But it happened in all directions and that's also part of what
[03:19:11] Bernie's campaign spoke to 10 years ago as well. And that's also what Trump's
[03:19:19] victory in the fall in this state represented, this oscillation in response
[03:19:26] to the failure of our political system to address the needs of working people.
[03:19:32] these earthquakes and aftershocks. Two years after 2016 we had another aftershock
[03:19:41] across the country and in as a part of that I went from being a waitress to
[03:19:50] winning a primary against a 20-year Democratic incumbent who was meant to
[03:19:57] to be the next speaker of the House.
[03:20:00] So I get it, Michigan.
[03:20:09] Because my frustrations, precisely because the stakes of Republican leadership are so high,
[03:20:18] precisely because of their corruption, the discrimination, the gutting of voting rights,
[03:20:25] I understood the stakes of cleaning up my own backyard, back here at home, that we had to
[03:20:35] look at our contributions and why people like my family and my neighborhood felt so failed
[03:20:44] by the party in charge of championing the working class and saying, how can we be better?
[03:20:52] In fact, we have a responsibility to be.
[03:20:58] And all of us have been trying to get a handle on what all of that means ever since.
[03:21:04] And we do know some of the many contributing causes and factors.
[03:21:10] Like yes, one of the causes, deep causes, have been bad trade deals that hollowed out
[03:21:16] states like Michigan.
[03:21:22] Another cause was the record income inequality and the great recession spurred on by unchecked
[03:21:30] greed on Wall Street.
[03:21:34] And yes, yet another cause was the sweet of shameful and quiet bigotries waiting in the
[03:21:42] shadows in pockets of our country, racism, sexism, fear of our neighbor that seemed
[03:21:50] to gnash their teeth the strongest, the closer we get to uniting across our differences.
[03:21:59] All of these things are true.
[03:22:01] And yet, there's more.
[03:22:05] Because it was also due to a political system that had over decades and across parties become
[03:22:13] totally enmeshed in a financial and electoral politics that stopped serving working people.
[03:22:24] Our entire electoral system has been consumed by big money.
[03:22:31] And thanks to this Republican administration, Donald Trump and this corrupt Supreme Court,
[03:22:38] It is now worse than ever before.
[03:22:45] So instead of putting voters first year after year with a little exception, Washington now
[03:22:52] elevates the desires of lobbyists and powerful corporations at the expense of the rest of
[03:22:59] us.
[03:23:00] And what does that mean in practice?
[03:23:03] All wages are falling behind.
[03:23:11] All right, Chad, we're back.
[03:23:13] I'm sorry.
[03:23:14] I know you're listening to AOC or whatever, but perhaps
[03:23:19] I will flip it back in a little bit.
[03:23:22] But we're here.
[03:23:25] We're at the convention hall.
[03:23:28] Your booze mean nothing.
[03:23:31] I'm going to deliver a speech in a little bit.
[03:23:37] Your audio is too low.
[03:23:38] Yeah, it looks.
[03:23:39] OK, that's what?
[03:23:42] I have it all the way down.
[03:23:43] Why do you think it's happening?
[03:23:45] You think it's the windsock?
[03:23:49] Sorry, Jack.
[03:23:52] What about now?
[03:23:54] Also, oh, the audio might be low unless you're, like,
[03:23:56] directly pointing at me.
[03:23:57] Remember, this is super directional.
[03:23:59] Yeah, it is.
[03:24:00] What about now?
[03:24:04] Better now way better. It's fine. It's fine. Better better.
[03:24:08] Yeah, I mean, we don't need the windsock. Yeah.
[03:24:12] So better he farted.
[03:24:17] That's what it sounds like.
[03:24:17] Yeah, you take the windsock off.
[03:24:19] That's still right.
[03:24:20] Okay.
[03:24:21] Okay.
[03:24:21] I'm gonna double check what we're doing.
[03:24:23] Okay.
[03:24:24] It's a little quiet, but there's a lot of room to raise the volume bar 100%
[03:24:33] Well when you use this input, you can only control it from here, you can't control it
[03:24:39] from the camera.
[03:24:40] Huh.
[03:24:41] Yeah.
[03:24:42] What about the dials on it?
[03:24:43] I have it all with the bus lady.
[03:24:44] Okay.
[03:24:45] That's weird.
[03:24:46] I took off the low cut too.
[03:24:47] But maybe some money about streaming.
[03:24:48] Yeah.
[03:24:49] But maybe some money about.
[03:24:52] Yeah.
[03:24:55] Invise me.
[03:25:00] You always just switch to the labs.
[03:25:05] That's true.
[03:25:06] But the labs are really bad with the mic.
[03:25:08] I feel like it's crunchy.
[03:25:12] It's super crunchy.
[03:25:13] You brought the labs, all right?
[03:25:14] Yeah.
[03:25:14] Oh, hell yeah.
[03:25:19] This is it.
[03:25:25] The whole room just for me.
[03:25:27] I mean, you can chill here.
[03:25:28] I'm going to have a bite.
[03:25:29] I'm going to have a cat and a squirrels come here.
[03:25:31] I'm going to fill it to your birthday.
[03:25:32] OK.
[03:25:32] Let's jump back.
[03:25:33] I'm going to fill it in to your birthday.
[03:25:36] Stay in there.
[03:25:37] Are you with someone?
[03:25:38] Yeah.
[03:25:38] What's up?
[03:25:39] Cool.
[03:25:39] Nice to meet you.
[03:25:40] Nice to meet you.
[03:25:40] Take it.
[03:25:41] I'm live right now.
[03:25:42] Oh, you're live right now?
[03:25:43] That's crazy.
[03:25:43] Oh, my.
[03:25:44] Yeah, you're on a stretch?
[03:25:45] That's wild.
[03:25:49] We have a spread of British delicacies that have been brought to you by one of our Dems
[03:25:54] abroad people.
[03:25:55] I don't know if that's true.
[03:25:56] Wow.
[03:25:57] That's...
[03:25:58] How does that work?
[03:25:59] So Dems abroad?
[03:26:00] They're mostly college students that are Americans that just study abroad and there's
[03:26:05] just some high concentration on the happen to be Democrats.
[03:26:08] Okay.
[03:26:09] So either...
[03:26:10] We also remember, like, this is not being picked up audio wise, probably.
[03:26:14] Yeah.
[03:26:15] We should have done the dual use, but with the switcher where it could pick up both the
[03:26:22] audio from.
[03:26:25] That's what this is for.
[03:26:26] It's supposed to be able to pick up the audio and the lav mic.
[03:26:30] Yeah.
[03:26:31] And I realized as we were in the cab that I didn't bring the adapter for the second
[03:26:37] port.
[03:26:38] There's a third port, but you can't do both.
[03:26:39] No.
[03:26:40] Okay.
[03:26:41] and they can switch to the labs or to the shotgun.
[03:26:46] Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I understand.
[03:26:48] It's all good.
[03:26:48] I couldn't find another doctor.
[03:26:50] Yeah, no, it was in the bag.
[03:26:52] I'm pretty sure about it.
[03:26:58] Hi.
[03:26:59] This is a nice green.
[03:27:02] Yeah, is the room that I'm going
[03:27:04] to be speaking to this?
[03:27:05] Yeah, the same one is before our general session.
[03:27:08] Oh, the same one is before.
[03:27:09] Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, they got ear, ear and brew.
[03:27:16] This is, this is Irish, isn't it?
[03:27:20] Or Scottish, it's not Irish, it's Scottish.
[03:27:24] All right, am I saying, is it correct?
[03:27:28] The shotgun mic is usually fine
[03:27:30] unless this is in his equipment.
[03:27:31] No, this is a directional mic.
[03:27:34] It's a different kind of shotgun chat.
[03:27:36] The normal shotguns that we use are not as good at picking up from long distance when you like aim it in a specific direction.
[03:27:44] This one has to be aimed directly at the speaker at all times, otherwise you won't be able to hear it.
[03:27:51] Like there's no audio, it doesn't really pick up audio from the sides at all.
[03:27:56] And then the Tato is Irish. I know that. Yeah, maybe maybe David will be able to help out.
[03:28:17] It is cold as fuck in here holy shit yeah, probably
[03:28:30] Yeah, I think they just brought it in general friends from abroad
[03:28:45] I don't want to eat right now. I'm already full as fuck from that.
[03:28:53] Wawa, club sandwich they crushed.
[03:29:01] You guys know how good you have it out here if you're out here with the Wawa's.
[03:29:06] No Wawa's in LA. It's the only, it's the only L for LA.
[03:29:12] Oh, that and no good bagels, no good subs, but I guess Jersey Mike's, you know, that I can make do with that.
[03:29:22] Oh, man. So the speech is supposed to start when at, oh, 6.10? All right, so in 20 minutes? Okay, so we got 20 more minutes chat.
[03:29:34] 20 more minutes until the speech starts. And who else is going to be here? Kat's going to be here?
[03:29:38] here? Okay. Cattle Gazale is going to be joining us. David is working on
[03:29:46] troubleshooting. Mike is fine when it's facing you. Yeah, I know. That's fix
[03:29:52] hair in back. What is it?
[03:30:03] Sunset sing whole 20 more minutes of low audio. Yeah. Wait, is it still low
[03:30:08] audio? Is it still low audio or is it not low audio when I'm speaking directly?
[03:30:15] Because if it's low audio then we'll we'll just flip to the fucking lawmakers and it's fine.
[03:30:24] They're saying no. Audio is leveled well.
[03:30:27] Yeah, unless I'm standing next to you over there.
[03:30:31] I'm gonna, that's like all audio is gonna come off the speakers.
[03:30:33] No, no, that won't work. Let's just switch to the law. Mike's fucking you want to click the lock Mike to you and if we need it
[03:30:43] Yeah.
[03:30:48] Yeah.
[03:30:53] Yeah.
[03:30:58] All right, we'll just use the, we'll just switch it to the lobs. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Hold up chat. Let's just switch to the log. Yeah.
[03:31:06] We're going to put this down.
[03:31:08] There was a click that happened and the audio looks got a lot more quiet when in the car.
[03:31:13] Make sure the switches don't also just flip down the mic itself so it's getting phantom power.
[03:31:17] Yeah, it's okay.
[03:31:19] We wouldn't hear anything if that wasn't you.
[03:31:23] Let me, you know, let's do some clicking.
[03:31:26] Okay.
[03:31:27] Is that better?
[03:31:28] Is that better?
[03:31:29] That actually is better, isn't it?
[03:31:30] Wait, is it?
[03:31:31] I see a lot more.
[03:31:32] Wait.
[03:31:33] That actually might have really injured this.
[03:31:35] What did you click off?
[03:31:36] So it's like I took away the 20 decibel.
[03:31:40] Oh, it's way better.
[03:31:41] Holy fuck, we can hear him way better.
[03:31:43] Whoa, it's so loud.
[03:31:46] Okay, now you're way louder now.
[03:31:52] It's so funny.
[03:31:54] All right.
[03:31:56] Problem solved.
[03:31:59] Oh yeah, that's loud as fuck.
[03:32:00] I can hear myself.
[03:32:01] and like in the middle of the middle spot.
[03:32:08] That's fine.
[03:32:09] I mean, I think it's okay.
[03:32:11] Louder.
[03:32:11] This is good.
[03:32:12] It's in the middle now.
[03:32:13] Louder, loudest fuck.
[03:32:15] Really good audio on the camera's crisp.
[03:32:18] Okay, good.
[03:32:24] Wow.
[03:32:25] Them saying that click?
[03:32:26] Was that click?
[03:32:27] Yeah.
[03:32:28] Thank you Chad.
[03:32:29] We'll click for you.
[03:32:30] It was David.
[03:32:32] Check out the sock.
[03:32:34] I mean, there's no wind.
[03:32:38] What is the sock for?
[03:32:40] We got a sock in there.
[03:32:42] Okay.
[03:32:44] It's too low.
[03:32:46] Okay, I'll bring it back up guys.
[03:32:48] I'm sorry. There we go.
[03:32:52] Ready for the waiting days.
[03:32:54] I'm going to test out the speech.
[03:32:56] I'm going to get up there and do it.
[03:32:58] Let's do it. Let's see.
[03:33:01] It's good.
[03:33:03] The good thing is that if you like started and we show the ideas.
[03:33:06] Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Let's do that.
[03:33:09] We'll wait for him to be done working.
[03:33:13] You do it. Go ahead.
[03:33:15] Oh, no.
[03:33:16] You guys bother you?
[03:33:17] No, no, no, it's fine.
[03:33:18] I was gonna, I was gonna get up there and...
[03:33:21] Okay, of course.
[03:33:22] No, no, but you do your thing.
[03:33:24] Yeah, yeah, you do your thing.
[03:33:26] yeah harassing the working class classic classic nuisance streamer behavior
[03:33:35] you know what I mean dude I am so unbelievably tired I don't even know
[03:33:42] how this is possible what does that do wait really yeah they can hear the
[03:33:55] AC. Yeah, I saw somebody say that. That's clear. Yeah, they're they're audio
[03:34:00] perverse, dude. That's fucking nuts. They can hear the AC. Yeah. The low rumble of
[03:34:06] the AC. Did that help? Yeah. That's I don't think that person actually is in the
[03:34:11] chat anymore because they when you win that when they heard they heard the
[03:34:16] click, they heard your hair move. They heard your hair move and they were
[03:34:20] Like this is unbearable. I'm fucking leaving. I have audio sensory issues
[03:34:29] Yep, I hear it. I lost to the AC Craig
[03:34:43] Okay
[03:34:45] Where are you going to film from?
[03:34:52] That's a question for you guys. Where am I going to send them in the back?
[03:34:57] No, but that's too far. We don't have the, we don't have a...
[03:35:01] Okay, great.
[03:35:02] Yeah, we don't have the proper...
[03:35:03] Yeah, we don't have the proper...
[03:35:05] What are the proper, what do you call it?
[03:35:08] Yeah, plus you're going to be too far for the mic too.
[03:35:10] Yeah.
[03:35:11] Okay.
[03:35:13] I'd like to tap into a loa pa.
[03:35:15] You guys want a loa pa?
[03:35:16] OK, cool.
[03:35:17] OK.
[03:35:20] This is way more awkward than delivering a speech
[03:35:22] in front of an audience, I just realized.
[03:35:24] This is like way worse.
[03:35:25] There's like three people in here.
[03:35:33] Enough applause, everybody, enough.
[03:35:38] What a great honor to be here in the heart
[03:35:42] of American Empire in the belly of the beast
[03:35:46] speaking to the future activists of the Democratic Party
[03:35:50] but as an outsider currently pushing an insurgency.
[03:35:59] No, no, no, no, no.
[03:36:05] To be honest, I'm a little bit confused.
[03:36:08] When I first got the call
[03:36:10] from the College Democrats of America,
[03:36:11] thought to myself perhaps the Center for American Progress has openly put a
[03:36:17] hit out for me maybe it's a trap after all it's not a secret that there are many
[03:36:25] many people in the Democratic Party who simply wish I would go away who wish
[03:36:32] that the movement would go away well I'm here to tell you we are here to
[03:36:40] you stay. Applause, Greg. Now a lot of people, and how long is this beach, 20, right? Okay,
[03:36:54] 25 is too long. Yeah, no, no. Now a lot of people, including probably your future employers,
[03:37:03] They call me a lot of names, a radical, an idealist, a terror lover, but one thing they
[03:37:10] never call me is a liar.
[03:37:14] And I think that anyone who wants a better future for the world, let alone this country,
[03:37:19] for anyone like that, it's our job to always see truth from facts and to always say the
[03:37:27] truth.
[03:37:29] to expand the knowledge that we have of the world around us,
[03:37:33] and to use that knowledge to build a world view
[03:37:36] and then to change the world.
[03:37:39] Now, this task takes on a new importance today.
[03:37:43] Lies and disinformation are the currency
[03:37:46] of our enemies on the right.
[03:37:48] Unable to compete with us over here in reality,
[03:37:51] right-wiggers instead try to make humanity live
[03:37:54] in their dangerous fantasy land,
[03:37:57] constantly finding new enemies in our neighborhoods, the position as a reason for why we are all
[03:38:04] experiencing the same struggles born out of capitalism, some more than others.
[03:38:11] But sometimes I'm a glass half full kind of guy.
[03:38:15] When the right traffic's in lies, the lane for telling it like it is is wide open.
[03:38:21] And whoever can do that, whoever can tell the truth, they will own the future.
[03:38:28] But people fail this basic test all the time, especially in Washington, D.C.
[03:38:35] Now I'm sure that many of you in this room have felt the same energy that I do, a feeling
[03:38:42] shared by more and more people all the time, a frustration, frustration with decades
[03:38:49] of political ineptitude in the face of rising fascism.
[03:38:54] Many people in this room have only known Donald Trump.
[03:38:58] But the older folks here and watching at home,
[03:39:00] think about that.
[03:39:02] The only politics that many people in this room
[03:39:05] have ever known is shot through with Donald J. Trump.
[03:39:11] Political life shaped from above by a narcissistic tyrant
[03:39:15] who enriches himself, his ridiculous family,
[03:39:18] the Epstein class, as well as the billionaires who were too smart to get caught going to
[03:39:23] Little St. James Island, and even ones who were uninvited because their vibes were too
[03:39:27] atrocious for the other pedophiles.
[03:39:30] Now, although American politicians have never been much at truth-telling, for over ten
[03:39:37] years the terms of our discourse have been set by this megalomaniacal pervert.
[03:39:45] The late writer, Mike Davis, summed up our situation well in his final published essay
[03:39:50] a few years ago.
[03:39:52] He said, unlike the high cold war when Politburo's, Parliament's, Presidential Cabinet's and
[03:39:58] General Staff's, to some extent, balanced megalomaniac at the top, there are few safety
[03:40:04] switches between today's maximum leaders and Armageddon.
[03:40:09] has so much fused economic media and military power been put into the hands of so few people.
[03:40:18] To youth, young people of America who have chosen to enter the world of electoral politics,
[03:40:25] I know that you have grown up in this degraded era where bigotry and deceit are so blatantly
[03:40:31] rewarded in society, an era in which our rulers would rather us choke on wildfire smoke than
[03:40:39] re-examine how our way of life damages our planet, the only home we'll ever know.
[03:40:47] This wretched era in which the Third World is staring down disaster because of the upheaval
[03:40:53] caused by ours and Israel's war on Iran, this ridiculous era in which a Supreme Court
[03:41:00] dominated by religious nutjobs, rewrites our laws at will.
[03:41:07] In this world, I know even just a little bit of truth can feel like a life raft.
[03:41:14] It's why so many of you are in this room, because you meet other people like yourselves
[03:41:19] and you talk about these problems together and you feel both less alone and closer
[03:41:25] to the truth.
[03:41:26] Now it's fair to say, as I mentioned already, that I'm not the friend of many people in
[03:41:33] the Democratic Party.
[03:41:35] But that's okay.
[03:41:36] In politics, if you're everyone's friend, then you are no one's friend.
[03:41:41] But I am here today because the times have gotten very strange, and new political opportunities
[03:41:48] are all around us.
[03:41:50] Chances for us to push radical political change through an electoral system that
[03:41:54] Right now is also going through a transformation.
[03:41:59] And you can feel the changes with every new story,
[03:42:02] the sense of backlash that's in the air.
[03:42:05] Inflation is not under control.
[03:42:07] Data centers that no one wants are taxing the energy grids,
[03:42:10] fueling an AI bubble that may not really replace you,
[03:42:14] but will get you laid off regardless.
[03:42:17] It seems like every week our mask is stopo, ice,
[03:42:20] kills another innocent person.
[03:42:22] In all my years, I don't remember this much blood on American pavement in my life.
[03:42:30] I often say that the United States is an empire in decline.
[03:42:34] And home, that means we are a nation in crisis.
[03:42:39] But we're so much of Washington C's dangerous instability.
[03:42:43] I and many of you see promise.
[03:42:46] I see a real opportunity to change this country's trajectory to improve the lot
[03:42:51] of humanity. I know you feel it too. It's rooms like these that remind me just how many
[03:42:58] people see right from wrong and want to do something about it, especially crowded rooms
[03:43:04] like this one. That's not going to be on the screen. All around the country we are
[03:43:14] are getting real fighters elected, fighters who see the crisis and can describe it in
[03:43:20] clear and truthful terms, in uncompromising terms.
[03:43:25] This means demanding an end to the endless wars, an end to profiteering off of health
[03:43:31] care, an end to the rule by people who put the interests of capital over the interests
[03:43:38] of the working class.
[03:43:39] It's talk like this that has Washington terrified, that has MAGA terrified.
[03:43:44] These people and hate movements who try to control our lives are most afraid of popular
[03:43:49] action, of democracy, of the people.
[03:43:53] They're afraid of us because of the simple fact that there are more of us than there
[03:43:58] are of them.
[03:44:00] There always have been and there always will be.
[03:44:04] There are more good, decent people with moral conviction who find it unfathomable that the
[03:44:10] wealthiest nation on earth chooses to spend its billions on blowing up schools overseas
[03:44:15] rather than building schools in our neighborhoods.
[03:44:19] Kind people who can't understand why in the wealthiest nation on earth there are hundreds
[03:44:24] of thousands of people who will go to sleep outside tonight.
[03:44:29] And millions more who live paycheck to paycheck.
[03:44:33] working people frustrated that an honest day of labor delivering packages clean
[03:44:39] encounters or teaching children is no longer enough to take care of a family
[03:44:44] or own a home all the while the world's wealthiest man sits around tweeting
[03:44:49] racist screeds wait is it still going oh yeah it is okay sorry you're just
[03:44:56] cut off my own fucking flow there a little bit I was getting in the groove
[03:45:00] get my groove on. Tweeting racist screams and unfunny jokes as the people
[03:45:06] grow his net worth to the trillions. I should add that none of this is an
[03:45:12] accident. The inequality is the design of our system. When you see broken
[03:45:18] downtowns in a state of disrepair or potholes that never get filled or
[03:45:23] homeless people suffering in the streets, remember this is the design
[03:45:28] of our system. It is not the moral failings of the individual but of a whole
[03:45:32] architecture, the ultra-rich sticking their hands in the pockets of everyone
[03:45:37] else. It is not the moral failings of the individual but of an entire
[03:45:44] architecture where the ultra-rich stick their hands in the pockets of
[03:45:49] everyone else. Just as every person who has no shelter as a policy failure,
[03:45:55] failure, every billionaire is a policy failure, and every congressperson who's refused to
[03:46:00] change these policies have failed you. They have placed other interests above the peoples.
[03:46:09] I say no more. We say no more. I've traveled all around the country and talked to countless
[03:46:25] people over dozens of protests, rallies, and marches. I've been shot at by my own police
[03:46:31] department that I pay the salary of with weapons that I funded for them, with tactics that
[03:46:38] we see taking shape abroad and elsewhere. But one thing I always hear from the people
[03:46:45] alongside myself is no more. And not just no more to the Trumpism, but no more to
[03:46:53] the Democrats who compromise, who conciliate, who betray. Democrats who will cooperate with
[03:47:00] fascists, who will fund ICE, who will fund Israel, who will help poison the planet, who
[03:47:05] will stiff workers and help the bosses. We don't need those Democrats anymore. And in
[03:47:10] fact, I know we have a message for you. We're coming. We are unbossed, unbought,
[03:47:18] unbound and we will become undeniable. And then that's it.
[03:47:25] Thunderous applause.
[03:47:26] Alright, let's get you on stage.
[03:47:36] This is for the edit. I'm just getting this for the edit.
[03:47:42] How do we feel?
[03:47:43] Does that speak to you?
[03:47:44] Yeah, it's great.
[03:47:46] You want to take off the mic?
[03:47:47] Just a couple.
[03:47:48] We won't be needing to know.
[03:47:49] Are you sure?
[03:47:50] Yeah, I don't think so.
[03:47:51] I think just for safety, I keep it in.
[03:48:04] I was very surprised to see you.
[03:48:16] Okay.
[03:48:17] I saw this.
[03:48:18] Ava, do it next.
[03:48:19] Now, get up.
[03:48:20] Do it next.
[03:48:21] And they slaughtered someone in lawyer practice.
[03:48:25] What?
[03:48:26] They saw your Twitch stream and they slaughtered someone in lawyer practice.
[03:48:28] Oh.
[03:48:29] So like for five or six months.
[03:48:30] Oh, damn.
[03:48:31] Okay.
[03:48:32] I didn't have to practice.
[03:48:33] I could have just stopped.
[03:48:34] Oh, you're all good.
[03:48:35] Yeah.
[03:48:36] I've actually never practiced for a speech before.
[03:48:37] This is my first time.
[03:48:39] A lot of new things happening for the college Democrats in America.
[03:48:44] Chas seems to like it.
[03:48:47] Yeah, it was good.
[03:48:55] Well, I don't know.
[03:48:58] You've heard some of these before. What'd you think?
[03:49:01] The S.A. Slater, this one?
[03:49:03] Well, I'm on camera at the moment, so I'm not, like, listening.
[03:49:07] Okay, I see how it is. I didn't have to be so much that you fucking...
[03:49:11] You know, I'm biased.
[03:49:12] I got my preferences, but that was pretty good.
[03:49:15] That was fine.
[03:49:18] Take the stable off.
[03:49:28] All right, well, we've got turns.
[03:49:29] I still work off the word.
[03:49:30] This one's OK.
[03:49:33] Well, you can get the whole other one, please.
[03:49:36] Yeah, well, I feel like they want to get a half of the head.
[03:49:39] a little bit and then like 10 minutes.
[03:49:54] Okay.
[03:49:55] Yeah.
[03:49:56] Let's try to figure out how to do that.
[03:49:58] Are they doing local level that they're for?
[03:49:59] App regions?
[03:50:00] App regions.
[03:50:01] Oh, OK.
[03:50:02] Cool.
[03:50:02] You're just like opening the ice and then
[03:50:03] you can have it.
[03:50:05] Oh, OK.
[03:50:08] Well, we can practice it again.
[03:50:10] No.
[03:50:11] Just then they're going to slough someone else in,
[03:50:13] and then fucking we're cooked.
[03:50:22] Practice voice.
[03:50:23] It doesn't equal go time voice.
[03:50:25] it'll be fine wait what the fuck was wrong my practice voice did a song speak it
[03:50:32] no
[03:50:40] remind the people that father time is taking old politics out
[03:50:55] Does the mic have a voice changer on it?
[03:50:59] I don't want him sounding too soy.
[03:51:04] Thanks, Chatter.
[03:51:11] Worst idea to practice on chat, not even nervous, no, I'm not.
[03:51:25] They're going to, what gives?
[03:51:29] Yeah, I'm going to go up there and be like, I'm a numbers guy, and I've decided I'm going
[03:51:34] to do the entire speech, like with the Patrick B. David Cadence, and talk to the Democrats
[03:51:41] and try to get them to join the Republican Party, because obviously those are the business
[03:51:46] guys.
[03:51:47] You Democrats, you don't understand good business like Donald Trump.
[03:51:53] Donald Trump is a big business man and am a numbers guy and I chat you PT it I grok it
[03:52:00] and I found out that all of you Democrats all of you young Democrats when you get older
[03:52:09] you are going to become Republican.
[03:52:17] Talk about Singapore.
[03:52:19] Okay, I'm gonna get up there and be like, I'm here to talk to you about the glorious city-state of Singapore.
[03:52:24] It's beautiful ports and also my undying love and loyalty to making sure that free-float trade continues through all straights from the Strait of Hormuz to Malacca.
[03:52:37] What was your name?
[03:52:38] Bob El-Mandeb to the straights of Hormuz to the Strait of Malacca and beyond.
[03:52:47] Singapore, more like Singapore's, that's what I think of all the time.
[03:52:53] I love import, I love export, I love commerce, and I love trade, except for one man and one
[03:53:02] man only.
[03:53:03] His name, M. Pregasus, more Pegasus, more Pegaslav, he goes by many names, but the
[03:53:13] The one I know him as is criminal.
[03:53:17] More Pegasus for the longest time has betrayed the beautiful nation-state of Singapore.
[03:53:23] The land that he occupies and resides in, the laws and the fantastic criminal justice system
[03:53:31] that has maintained its integrity until now.
[03:53:35] More Pegasus has slandered and defamed an international shipping magnate, me, Hasan
[03:53:42] House of Naby Piker.
[03:53:43] It can be 25 minutes, right?
[03:53:44] Yeah.
[03:53:48] This is the real speech.
[03:53:57] Yeah.
[03:53:57] Do you know what GONE means?
[03:53:59] G-O-N.
[03:54:01] G-O-N?
[03:54:02] We've got like 50 people calling that under our ticket label.
[03:54:07] No.
[03:54:09] I have no idea.
[03:54:12] I
[03:54:17] Was like another chat
[03:54:25] I have no idea what that is like isn't hunter-hunter I don't know
[03:54:42] people give time to save those amazing points and concepts let them savor those
[03:54:53] tasty morsels oh they're saying go and fit maybe like hunter hunter because
[03:54:58] they're saying I look like a Japanese schoolboy whenever I wear the yeah
[03:55:01] Fit check. Hey, hey.
[03:55:05] You got the Kreps on, yeah?
[03:55:09] Kreps. Boom, boom.
[03:55:16] Yeah
[03:55:18] I can't wait to talk about international shipping in the beautiful city-state of Singapore.
[03:55:41] Is coming home, lad?
[03:55:42] You mean third place?
[03:55:43] That's what's coming home.
[03:55:44] Um, where am I positioned?
[03:55:48] Anywhere, okay cool.
[03:55:52] Yes, I saw that in all my years in the end of my life redundant, I know.
[03:55:56] I was freestyling in some of it.
[03:56:00] It's coming home, it's coming
[03:56:04] football's coming home, it's coming home
[03:56:08] it's coming home, it's coming
[03:56:12] place coming home. 64 years of never stole me dreaming zipper check. No, my zippers
[03:56:21] fine. Third place coming home. Bro, you have to say Terby Derby at least once during the
[03:56:33] speech. Yeah, I'm not gonna do that, man. Even though he lives in my heart. The governor
[03:56:40] of South Dakota.
[03:56:42] Derby Derby.
[03:56:49] This song going to get a mic so it's clear?
[03:56:50] No.
[03:56:52] We're going to fuck this up.
[03:56:53] We're going to make sure that you can't hear anything.
[03:57:01] Fake assassination?
[03:57:02] I think we're going to have to go back to the office.
[03:57:09] What's that?
[03:57:11] Fight, fight, fight.
[03:57:13] The sponsor is really taking his time.
[03:57:21] This is an ethical speech prep.
[03:57:25] I should go in there.
[03:57:27] Hold on.
[03:57:29] You were saying, come and ask the strikes on Iran.
[03:57:56] I mean, that's not surprising, I don't think.
[03:58:02] Do we have an ETA?
[03:58:06] You definitely said 10 minutes, 10 minutes ago.
[03:58:14] All right.
[03:58:26] I graduated back in May, which apparently
[03:58:31] qualifies me to offer some ancient wisdom to you all.
[03:58:35] But here is some unwarmed with advice to you all.
[03:58:39] But first, and I need to say this clearly,
[03:58:42] I am incredibly proud of our team.
[03:58:46] We have only a few months to rebuild the fundraising program.
[03:58:50] It honestly needed to be rebuilt from the ground up.
[03:58:54] In that short time, this scheme raised and secured more than $300,000 for college Democrats.
[03:59:00] And this convention, without selling off the values that brought us all here today.
[03:59:13] That did not happen because of one person or one big check.
[03:59:17] It happened because people made the calls, built the relationships,
[03:59:20] We followed up on the leading in this organization.
[03:59:24] What's worth investing in?
[03:59:25] Are we worth investing in this?
[03:59:27] No, we're not.
[03:59:28] That is what every night's power looks like.
[03:59:36] Now, to my advice, if you have heard a politician say,
[03:59:40] by joking, if there's power in your voice,
[03:59:42] you walk away wondering, what does that even mean?
[03:59:48] There is power in your willingness to use it, but having a voice does not automatically give you power.
[03:59:54] The power to stand up, to stop doing so, and actually do something to change our country, and all our lives for the better.
[04:00:03] One voice in certain conversations, thousands of more than ours voices, can take back the House, take back the Senate and take back the freedoms stolen from us.
[04:00:13] Let me hear it from you. Take back the Senate.
[04:00:16] Take back the Senate. Take back the House.
[04:00:19] Take back the House.
[04:00:21] Fellow Democrats, we are not fighting to take freedom away from anybody like the people on the other side of the aisle.
[04:00:29] We are fighting to win our freedom of fact.
[04:00:32] The community is learning about classrooms and politicians censoring your classroom.
[04:00:46] Organizing a union without retaliation. Deciding what happens to your own body. Voting without
[04:00:52] another barrier in your way. Getting sick without losing your education, your home,
[04:00:58] future. And who agrees if we say Trump is not good enough anymore?
[04:01:04] Yes, Trump is dangerous, but he did not emerge from nowhere. He is the product of a
[04:01:17] corrupted system that turns financial insecurity into ascending, public
[04:01:22] failure into private profit, and turns working people against one another
[04:01:27] while someone else writes the rules for us.
[04:01:31] No more.
[04:01:32] I say no more.
[04:01:33] Do we say no more college contracts?
[04:01:35] Let's move in.
[04:01:40] We're trying to make it look as this one looks like.
[04:01:43] The military does have a complex.
[04:01:45] You can always find money through another contract
[04:01:47] while students are cool.
[04:01:49] There's never an al-Qaunian corporation.
[04:01:51] There's never an al-Qaunian corporation.
[04:01:52] These guys are crazy.
[04:01:53] They can check.
[04:01:55] Can you guys hear me?
[04:01:56] I'm going to show you the class rooms.
[04:01:59] Big formula looks at sickness and sees how to be picked up.
[04:02:03] And big AI, I guess, now.
[04:02:06] No!
[04:02:09] What's at your attention?
[04:02:10] Your anger and your faith have been seized by another product.
[04:02:14] You, warm-hearted landlords in big capital look out of nowhere.
[04:02:19] Somebody should be able to build a life and see an asset come out.
[04:02:23] Let me raise the rent miles and sell it back to us a price we can't even afford.
[04:02:28] They are looting our bank accounts, our time, our security, our liberty, our happiness,
[04:02:34] our chance to own things that we buy, nevertheless, a home.
[04:02:40] They do not need a secret meeting. The system already reports them for extravagant war while giving us less.
[04:02:47] And while working people fight, one another governs trash, the people who vote the rules
[04:02:54] walk away with a full day of the day.
[04:02:57] We are not against people succeeding in the year against the system.
[04:03:01] We're against all people succeeding by making everybody else poorer, less healthy, less free, and less libertarian.
[04:03:10] Thank you very much.
[04:03:40] responsibility. A party of workers, students, graduates, parents, and seniors. A party of time, not only by working at clothes, but by what we build together.
[04:03:51] I'm just going to say, I'm just going to liquidate the cool-offs.
[04:03:56] So, if you think it's over, stop going to do school, do something, encourage your neighbors and families to get out and do something, then I know you all here are doing well.
[04:04:07] You travel from all around the country to come here together,
[04:04:11] meet your fellow Paulist Democrats,
[04:04:13] and we're going to have to sort of have it tomorrow.
[04:04:15] So I implore you to take that step,
[04:04:17] take on the seats in the Democratic Committee
[04:04:19] to speak local, national level.
[04:04:22] In Pennsylvania, Paulist Democrats and young Democrats
[04:04:26] are doing exactly that.
[04:04:28] We're winning seats in our state committee
[04:04:30] and our local committees,
[04:04:32] and filling seats that otherwise would go,
[04:04:34] go, you know, unfilled, vacant, or avoided by the party chairs and leadership and smoking
[04:04:39] back rooms. We say no more to that.
[04:04:43] Thank you, thank you very much.
[04:04:48] Do not use your promises, no one will. Choose a race, choose a campus, or long-term or
[04:04:55] old. But it makes you want to live with you. Invite a quiet person into the conversation.
[04:05:00] They're a new matter of real responsibility,
[04:05:03] filled with relationships of labor and community
[04:05:05] organizations, and fellow folks on campus.
[04:05:09] And when you gain power, open the door wide behind you
[04:05:12] and offer it to others like the people with the help
[04:05:15] of you to get there.
[04:05:17] That is how we know we should have a better party.
[04:05:19] And CDA is true that our principles do not
[04:05:22] make us powerless.
[04:05:24] During my term, we rejected corporate, dark money,
[04:05:27] military industrial complex, an APAC-related money,
[04:05:31] and still, and still, we transport our organization
[04:05:42] from an organization with a three-digit budget into a six-digit budget.
[04:05:46] We can do this together. We can do this together.
[04:05:51] we can do this shit for real, guys.
[04:05:54] We can do this shit for real.
[04:05:56] All right.
[04:06:04] One last thing I'll say.
[04:06:05] Civil liberties advocates morning their language,
[04:06:09] this broad like that youth in FPM 7 in Massachusetts,
[04:06:14] listening to Designazians who recently came out
[04:06:16] to get to our homes in the sunrise meeting.
[04:06:21] and ridiculous. In Ohio just a few weeks ago, organizers in the faith community and other
[04:06:30] registrations that turned out black and brown communities, they had their HGUs in their homes
[04:06:35] raided and their doors knocked upon in the morning.
[04:06:41] But Delroy always says it is only going after something dangerous or controversial.
[04:06:46] Today that might be someone like our man, Speaker. Just a few weeks ago,
[04:06:51] What happened to your life?
[04:06:55] The moment these violence are solved, people here are afraid of being masked.
[04:06:59] It's the moment intimidation is worth.
[04:07:01] Silence does not protect freedom that solidarity demands.
[04:07:05] So let me hear you.
[04:07:06] Take back the Senate!
[04:07:08] Take back the Senate!
[04:07:09] Take back powers!
[04:07:11] Take back powers!
[04:07:13] I know about you, but I'm ready to do it, and I'm ready to walk the victory.
[04:07:18] Here in Nevada.
[04:07:19] Take a seat, take someone with you, and speaking of someone who has never waited for permission to use his voice.
[04:07:38] Are the best best, practice is free of the sheets, but where is some of us practice useful?
[04:07:45] Constantly, intensely and sometimes
[04:07:48] with several consecutive hours college Democrats
[04:07:51] it is my pleasure to welcome Peslaan Piker.
[04:07:54] This is what we're using, right?
[04:08:16] Okay.
[04:08:17] This might be a little...
[04:08:18] Put it on the top.
[04:08:19] Yeah, I'm gonna fix it.
[04:08:20] Yeah, it's a little bit of a mess.
[04:08:21] it. It's a little bit short for me, unfortunately, so apologies. Okay, brought a little bit of
[04:08:31] Diet American do with me on stage. Reflecting pool color. Delicious. Not a sponsor. Just put
[04:08:45] that out there. What an honor to be here. Thank you so much for having me in the College
[04:08:50] Democrats of America. It's a great honor to be here in the heart of the American
[04:08:55] Empire in the belly of the beast speaking to the future activists of the
[04:09:00] Democratic Party but as an outsider currently pushing for an insurgency.
[04:09:06] To be honest when I first got the call from this organization first said I
[04:09:12] don't know what that is I'll be honest I apologize and then they told me they
[04:09:16] Adam Pell, the National Convention of this size,
[04:09:21] is the nixon era.
[04:09:22] So give yourselves a round of applause for that.
[04:09:25] And then I was a little worried.
[04:09:35] I'll let it be.
[04:09:37] We in the Democratic Party were not
[04:09:38] so close as the blade, as many of you know.
[04:09:41] I thought to myself, perhaps, the Center
[04:09:44] American progress is set up a trap for me, you're attended, are you in the room? I apologize
[04:09:53] for everything I've said. After all, it's not a secret that there are many, many people
[04:10:00] in the Democratic Party that wish that I would go away, who wish that this movement
[04:10:07] would go away. Well, I'm here to tell you, we're here to stay.
[04:10:12] Now, a lot of people, including probably your future employers or your current employers,
[04:10:28] they call me a lot of names. They say I'm an idealist, radical, a terrorist. But the
[04:10:36] But the one thing that they don't call me is a liar.
[04:10:39] And I think that anyone who wants a better future for the world,
[04:10:44] let alone this country, needs to understand
[04:10:47] that it is our job to always see truth from facts.
[04:10:52] We must always expand our knowledge of the world around us
[04:11:03] and to use that knowledge to build a world view
[04:11:07] and then we can move on to change the world.
[04:11:10] And the reason why I stress this
[04:11:12] is because a lot of people, they see this as a career
[04:11:16] and I work with a lot of campaigns.
[04:11:18] I've worked with a staff from Democrats in the past
[04:11:20] and right now I'm working with a lot of Democratic socialists
[04:11:22] all over the country.
[04:11:24] Woo!
[04:11:25] Woo!
[04:11:25] Woo!
[04:11:26] Woo!
[04:11:27] Woo!
[04:11:28] Woo!
[04:11:29] Woo!
[04:11:30] And the one difference that I always see
[04:11:32] is moral conviction.
[04:11:35] Moral conviction to always say the truth.
[04:11:38] And an endless thirst to understand
[04:11:41] exactly what is going on.
[04:11:42] We have a lifetime of social conditioning
[04:11:45] that has guided our lives,
[04:11:47] that has motivated the way that we see the world.
[04:11:49] Sometimes that means we have a lot of blind spots.
[04:11:53] But moral conviction is really important
[04:11:56] because that is what makes the difference
[04:11:59] between the insurgents and the establishment
[04:12:02] Democrats that are simply following along.
[04:12:06] And I think that anyone and everyone here must constantly
[04:12:13] go, must constantly push for this.
[04:12:15] This task takes on a new importance today.
[04:12:19] Lies and disinformation are the currency
[04:12:22] of our enemies on the right.
[04:12:24] Unable to compete with us over here in reality,
[04:12:27] Right-wingers instead try to make humanity live in their dangerous fantasy land, constantly
[04:12:34] finding new enemies in our neighborhoods to position as a reason for why we are all experiencing
[04:12:40] the same struggles born out of capitalism.
[04:12:46] But sometimes, on the glass half full kind of copy.
[04:12:51] When the right traffic is in lies, the lane for telling it like it is is wide open.
[04:12:57] And whoever can do that, whoever can tell the truth, they will own the future.
[04:13:03] But people fail this basic test all the time, especially in Washington, D.C.
[04:13:08] Now, I'm sure that many of you in this room feel the same energy that I do.
[04:13:13] A feeling shared by more and more people all the time.
[04:13:18] Frustration, frustration with decades of political ineptitude
[04:13:23] in the face of rising fascism.
[04:13:26] Many people in this room have only known Trump.
[04:13:30] To the older folks here and also watching at home,
[04:13:32] think about that for a second.
[04:13:35] The only politics that people in this room have ever known
[04:13:38] is shot through with Donald J. Trump.
[04:13:41] Political life shaped from above by a narcissistic tyrant
[04:13:46] who enriches himself, his ridiculous family, the emcee in class, as well as the billionaires
[04:13:51] who were smart enough to get caught, smart enough to get, to smart enough to avoid getting caught.
[04:13:57] Sorry.
[04:13:58] As well as the billionaires who were too smart to get caught, going to Little St. James and
[04:14:08] even a billionaire who was uninvited from Little St. James, I don't know if it's
[04:14:12] rise for a data trancheous over the next 100 years.
[04:14:16] Although American politicians have never been much at truth-telling, for over 10 years,
[04:14:25] the terms of our discourse have been set by a megalomaniacal pervert.
[04:14:31] The late writer Mike Davis summed up our situation well.
[04:14:35] In his final published essay a few years ago, he said,
[04:14:38] Unlike the high Cold War and Pollock bureaus, parliaments, presidential candidates, and general
[04:14:44] staffs to some extent balanced megalomania at the top, there are few safety switches
[04:14:50] between today's maximum leaders and Armageddon. Never has so much fused economic media and military
[04:15:00] power been put into so few hands. To you, young people of America who have chosen to enter
[04:15:09] the world of electoral politics, I know that you have grown up in this degraded era where
[04:15:15] bigotry and deceit are so blatantly rewarded in society. An era in which our rulers would
[04:15:22] rather choke us with wildfire smoke than reexamine how our way of life damages our
[04:15:28] planet, the only home for everyone.
[04:15:32] This wretched era in which the third world is staring down disaster because of the upheaval
[04:15:44] caused by ours and Israel's war on Iraq.
[04:15:49] This ridiculous error in which a Supreme Court dominated by religious nuke jobs rewrites our
[04:16:01] laws at will, in this world I know even just a little bit of truth can feel like a life
[04:16:09] It's why so many of you are in this room because you meet other people like yourselves and you
[04:16:22] talk about these problems together and you feel both less alone and closer to the truth.
[04:16:29] Now it's fair to say, as I've repeated over and over again, as you all know that I am
[04:16:34] not a friend of many people in the Democratic Party.
[04:16:37] But that's OK.
[04:16:39] In politics, if you're everyone's friend,
[04:16:41] then you're no one's friend.
[04:16:43] But I am here today because the times have gotten very strange
[04:16:53] and new political opportunities are all around us.
[04:16:57] Chances for us to push radical political change
[04:17:01] through an electoral system that right now is going for a transformation.
[04:17:06] You can feel the changes with every new story,
[04:17:10] the sense of backlash that's in the air,
[04:17:12] inflation is not under control,
[04:17:14] data centers that no one wants are taxing energy grids,
[04:17:18] fueling an AI bubble that may not really replace you
[04:17:22] but will get you laid off regardless.
[04:17:25] It seems like every beach, our Mastopo ice,
[04:17:29] kills another innocent person.
[04:17:33] In all my years, I don't remember seeing this much blood
[04:17:36] on American pavement.
[04:17:39] I often say that the United States is an empire in decline.
[04:17:44] And home, that means we are in a nation in crisis.
[04:17:49] Over so much of Washington C's dangerous instability,
[04:17:52] I and many of you see promise.
[04:17:56] I see a real opportunity to change this country's trajectory
[04:18:00] to improve the lot of humanity.
[04:18:02] And I know you feel it too.
[04:18:04] It's rooms like these that remind me just how many people
[04:18:08] see right from wrong and want to do something about it.
[04:18:11] All around the country, we're getting real fighters elected.
[04:18:25] Fighters who see the crisis and can describe it in clear and truthful terms.
[04:18:30] This means demanding an end to the endless wars, an end to profiteering off of healthcare,
[04:18:38] and an end to the rule by people who put the interests of capital over the interests of the working class.
[04:18:47] It's talk like this that has Washington terrified.
[04:18:58] It's talk like this that has MAGA terrified.
[04:19:08] These people in hate movements who try to control our lives are most afraid of popular
[04:19:13] action, of democracy, of the people that are afraid of us.
[04:19:17] because of the simple fact that there are more of us than there are of them.
[04:19:22] They're all in happiness and they're always building.
[04:19:29] There are more good, decent people with moral conviction who find it unfathomable that the wealthiest nation on Earth
[04:19:36] chooses to spend its billions blowing up schools overseas rather than building schools in our neighborhoods.
[04:19:43] I am people who can't understand why in the wealthiest nation on earth there are hundreds
[04:19:53] of thousands of people who will go to sleep outside tonight and millions more who live
[04:19:58] paycheck to paycheck.
[04:20:01] Hardworking people, frustrated that an honest day of labor delivering packages, clean encounters
[04:20:12] or teaching children is no longer enough to take care of a family or own a home.
[04:20:18] All the while the world's wealthiest man sits around tweeting racist screeds and
[04:20:22] unfunny jokes as people grow his net worth into the trillions.
[04:20:27] I should add that none of this is an accident.
[04:20:34] The inequality is the design of our system.
[04:20:38] When you see broken-down towns in a state of disrepair or potholes that never get filled
[04:20:44] or homeless people suffering in the streets, remember this is the design of our system.
[04:20:51] It is not the moral failings of the individual, but a whole architecture where the ultra-rich
[04:20:58] stick their hands in the pockets of everyone else.
[04:21:02] But just as every person who has no shelter is a policy failure, every billionaire is a
[04:21:09] policy failure.
[04:21:12] But just as every billionaire is a policy failure, every congressperson who's refused
[04:21:25] to change these policies have failed you.
[04:21:28] have failed all of us.
[04:21:30] They have placed equal interests above the interests of the people.
[04:21:38] I say no more, and we say no more.
[04:21:48] I've traveled all around the country.
[04:21:50] I've talked to countless people over dozens of protests.
[04:21:54] I've gone to rallies. I've gone to marches.
[04:21:57] I've got shot at by my own law enforcement
[04:22:01] that I pay with my taxes the salary of.
[04:22:05] And all I ever hear from the people by my side
[04:22:09] is no more.
[04:22:13] And not just, thank you.
[04:22:15] And not just the no more to Trumpism,
[04:22:20] but no more to the Democrats who compromise,
[04:22:23] who conciliate, and who betray us.
[04:22:26] No more to the fascist reactionaries, but no more to the Democrats who will collaborate
[04:22:38] and cooperate with the fascists, who will fund ICE, who will fund Israel, who will help
[04:22:43] We don't need those Democrats anymore.
[04:22:50] In fact, I know we have a message.
[04:22:57] We are coming.
[04:22:59] We are on boss.
[04:23:01] We're on boss.
[04:23:02] We're on bounce.
[04:23:03] And we will become undeniable.
[04:23:06] Hi!
[04:23:22] Thanks!
[04:23:29] It was fucked up too many times.
[04:23:30] Adam are you talking really?
[04:23:32] There is definitely too many hiccups.
[04:23:34] What are you talking about...
[04:23:36] You nailed it.

[04:23:43] Oh, thank you. Would you like a 2020?

[04:24:01] Congrats you're a fundraising text now. Oh, Kai Newkirk. No, no, not with you guys. Kai
[04:24:21] My new clerk is using me, I think it's a fundraising text maybe.
[04:24:24] Oh, okay.
[04:24:26] Great.
[04:24:29] Fuck him.
[04:24:32] Hold on.
[04:24:34] All right, what are we...
[04:24:37] Let me see, how many hours are we at?

[04:24:42] It got caught, right?
[04:24:43] What?
[04:24:44] You had that interruption on the screen?
[04:24:45] No, no, it doesn't matter.
[04:24:47] What did you guys think, Chad? Did you guys like it?
[04:24:50] I don't know what we're going to do with DSA like I thought maybe we could oh, okay
[04:24:57] Okay, see it coming here our hotel
[04:25:15] Okay, all right, um, we should we should head back then yeah
[04:25:20] Perfect are you guys gonna you guys gonna whip us? I need to take one of these. I need to figure out
[04:25:50] All right, there we go.
[04:25:57] That was a cosmetic pocket for a second.
[04:25:59] No, no, no, it's a real pocket.
[04:26:01] Perfectly sized for the little red blood.
[04:26:03] It is literally.
[04:26:05] And then there's a pen, there's like a pen hole in this.
[04:26:08] All right.
[04:26:10] Yeah, I know I've had it before.
[04:26:12] It's great.
[04:26:14] Okay.
[04:26:18] Okay, well let's, all right chat, we're gonna head back to the hotel because I have a next guest,
[04:26:23] next guest is going to be Aparna Raj, DSA, DSA DC, and we're gonna be talking to him about what,
[04:26:36] is it Metro, it's Metro DSA right? Metro DC, DSA has been cooking up here in the heart of Empire,
[04:26:45] So, I get excited for that.
[04:26:48] And then we'll also continue monitoring the situation
[04:26:50] and looking at different speeches.
[04:26:53] But I'll play you one of the speeches, right?
[04:26:57] Is it still going?
[04:26:57] Is the speech still going right now?
[04:27:02] So if we're serious about putting ourselves back
[04:27:04] in the center of our politics, we've
[04:27:06] got to be serious about getting money out
[04:27:07] of politics in the first place.
[04:27:09] We need to stand up to Citizens United
[04:27:11] and finally end the chokehold that corporations
[04:27:13] have had on our politics for far too long.
[04:27:15] Now, you heard from the indomitable Sean St. who reminded us what we can have when we're
[04:27:35] willing to stand up and fight.
[04:27:39] Unions built the middle class.
[04:27:41] Unions built the 40 hour work week.
[04:27:44] built the weekend. I don't get one anymore but we built it.
[04:27:48] Unions built the fact that our kids go to school instead of going to work.
[04:27:54] And unions can build it again when we're willing to stand with unions.
[04:28:00] So it is time for us to stand with our union sisters and brothers.
[04:28:05] We've got to pass that pro act. We've got to normalize union organizing in every sector of American life.
[04:28:12] And while we're at it, let's stand up to the corporations who tell us that there's no more
[04:28:16] money for workers.
[04:28:17] Let's ban stock buybacks.
[04:28:19] And I don't know about you all, but I think NAFTA was a bad idea.
[04:28:31] I think USNCA wasn't much better.
[04:28:35] And as much as I cannot stand Donald Trump's approach to tariffs, which is like all things
[04:28:42] ham-fisted, chaotic, and self-serving, I actually think there's a role for targeted
[04:28:48] tariffs to protect our working sisters and brothers in this country.
[04:29:00] Now, there's no coincidence that in the era where union participation is near and
[04:29:06] all-time low, we're watching more and more billionaires get spit out of this
[04:29:10] economy. And I don't know about you all but I think it's a ridiculous thing that
[04:29:15] it's easier for a billionaire to make a second billion dollars than it is for
[04:29:19] somebody to make their first fifty thousand. Now y'all know how many
[04:29:26] billionaires you can make or how many millionaires you can make for one
[04:29:29] billionaire? A thousand of them. And they're out here trying to protect
[04:29:33] billionaires. I don't know, I'd rather have a thousand millionaires than one
[04:29:36] billionaire but more importantly I think billionaires ought to pay their fair
[04:29:44] share if you tax if you tax a billionaire at 8% you know they still
[04:29:50] are still a billionaire your kids kids kids are gonna be rich maybe you can
[04:29:55] pay your fair share so the rest of our kids can get to go to good schools and
[04:29:59] travel functional roads and get good health care so it is high past time
[04:30:05] time for us to stand up to the billionaire class and tax them their wealth.
[04:30:17] Now every single thing you've got to buy feels like it's getting more and more expensive.
[04:30:23] And that's because a few corporations get to control every single sector of American
[04:30:28] life.
[04:30:30] And they use their power to rig our economy to force us to pay more.
[04:30:33] They literally pick our pockets so their CEO can make more next year.
[04:30:37] And I think it is time for us to take on price gouching.
[04:30:40] I think it is time for us to take on monopolies and oligopolies.
[04:30:44] I think it is time for us to stand up to corporate power.
[04:30:46] And I think it is time for us to start enforcing our policies on the books to make sure that
[04:30:51] no corporation can control prices on us to pick our pockets to enrich their CEOs
[04:30:57] and their shareholder
[04:31:05] there's one last point
[04:31:06] you don't have to go too far from here
[04:31:08] to see a school that looks like it did fifty years ago
[04:31:11] every time you talk about trying to rebuild the school they ask you, how are you going to pay for that?
[04:31:17] I don't know about you all but I don't pay my taxes
[04:31:20] to buy another country a bomb or a tank
[04:31:23] I pay my taxes
[04:31:24] so that all our kids get to go to good schools
[04:31:27] and get good healthcare.
[04:31:32] So it is time for us in this country
[04:31:35] to stand up and decide that we are no longer
[04:31:38] gonna send unconditional foreign military aid
[04:31:41] to foreign governments.
[04:31:45] Not Israel, not Egypt,
[04:31:49] not Jordan, not Saudi Arabia.
[04:31:52] I want my tax dollars in Michigan.
[04:31:55] I want good schools in Michigan.
[04:31:57] I want good roads in Michigan.
[04:31:59] I want health care in Michigan.
[04:32:00] I want childcare in Michigan.
[04:32:02] I want my money spent in Michigan.
[04:32:07] And no, they're going to try and tell you all,
[04:32:11] must be you hate somebody.
[04:32:12] No, it is not because I hate anybody.
[04:32:14] It's because I love everybody.
[04:32:16] And I just want to be clear about one thing.
[04:32:19] I love and revere and deeply appreciate
[04:32:22] Judaism and the Jewish people.
[04:32:27] And I love and revere and deeply appreciate the Palestinian people and their history and
[04:32:33] their culture and their tradition.
[04:32:39] And I love and I revere our kids here at home who deserve better schools and healthcare.
[04:32:48] So forgive me if I want to keep our tax dollars here to buy schools and health care for our
[04:32:54] kids here rather than send them to a foreign government to foreclose on the possibility
[04:33:00] of Palestinian self-determination and do genocide in apartheid.
[04:33:08] It's not about hating anyone, it's about loving everyone.
[04:33:18] And then let's be clear.
[04:33:21] I'm proud of the work we did on medical debt.
[04:33:24] I really am.
[04:33:25] But medical debt shouldn't exist in the first place.
[04:33:30] A third of American households holding debt because
[04:33:33] they went to see a doctor when they were sick.
[04:33:36] 225 billion dollars of medical debt.
[04:33:39] That is more than the GDP of half the states in this country,
[04:33:42] in medical debt.
[04:33:44] And we can wipe away all of that medical debt.
[04:33:47] And I just want to give you all some numbers here, okay?
[04:33:49] You can erase all the medical debt in this country
[04:33:52] for a penny on the dollar.
[04:33:54] So if you're doing the math, 225 billion dollars,
[04:33:57] you can erase for what?
[04:33:59] About 2.25 billion dollars?
[04:34:02] I want you to think about how much we are wasting,
[04:34:05] dropping bombs in foreign countries.
[04:34:07] I don't know if you're watching, but the other individual who would like to be the Democratic
[04:34:14] nominee for the U.S. Senate just took a vote to send more than that to a foreign government
[04:34:19] last week.
[04:34:26] We got to be serious, y'all.
[04:34:28] And then we've got to be serious about the fact that nobody should incur medical
[04:34:31] deaths again in the future. And the best thing away to prevent that from happening is to finally
[04:34:37] meet the unmet promise of America and guarantee everybody health care through Medicare for
[04:34:41] all.
[04:34:46] Now look, I know I'm not supposed to run for office.
[04:35:01] I got the wrong name, apparently, if you pray like this and not like this, pray the wrong
[04:35:07] way.
[04:35:08] I got the wrong profession, but I'm also not going to stand here and tell you what you
[04:35:16] cannot have and should not fight for. I'm not going to tell you that you cannot have nice
[04:35:21] things in the richest, most powerful country in the world. I'm not going to tell you that
[04:35:26] we've got to make peace with the corporations who nickel and dime us at every turn, and
[04:35:30] that if they want something, we've got to go on and give it to them. I'm not going
[04:35:34] to tell you any of those things. And if you've been watching, they've taken
[04:35:40] to call me dangerous. Now I don't know why you would call somebody who looks like me with
[04:35:47] a name like mine dangerous. It's an interesting adjective to use. Nobody's ever called somebody
[04:35:53] who looks like me dangerous. So I just want to ask, if you're a child forced to breathe
[04:36:01] at the end of a smokestack, do you think they think I'm dangerous? Or a kid sitting
[04:36:10] in the back of the classroom who couldn't see the black board, who got that first pair
[04:36:13] of glasses. If you're that kid, I'm not dangerous. If you're a worker who wants our economy to
[04:36:20] work for you, I'm not dangerous. If you're somebody sitting in medical debt wondering
[04:36:28] what your financial future is because you're going to see a doctor in the richest, most
[04:36:31] powerful country in the world if you're that person I'm not dangerous. If you're
[04:36:40] somebody who wants government to work for you I'm not dangerous. I might just be
[04:36:47] the one person running for US Senate who actually wants to serve you. But if
[04:37:00] If you're the CEO of DT, you damn well better believe I'm dangerous.
[04:37:04] If you're Blue Cross Blue Shield shareholders, yep, I'm dangerous.
[04:37:16] If you're a corporation wanting to buy a politician with their pack, I'm dangerous.
[04:37:23] If you're APAC and want to send their money abroad, you damn well better believe I'm
[04:37:26] dangerous.
[04:37:30] If you're Chuck Schumer and want to keep doling out corporate money to elect people who are
[04:37:35] going to do your bidding, I am so damn dangerous.
[04:37:38] But if you're somebody who wants government to work for you, I aim to be the best friend
[04:37:45] you ever had.
[04:37:47] Now look, I told you, my childhood taught me just how blessed I was to be on the
[04:37:54] other side of an accident of history that had me born here.
[04:37:59] Earlier this month, we commemorated the 250th anniversary of this country, and it's been
[04:38:06] a moment of reflection, I think for a lot of us, particularly considering who was president
[04:38:10] in this moment.
[04:38:13] Now they want to sell us a fake phony sense, a cartoon of what America is.
[04:38:19] America is no cartoon.
[04:38:22] America is an incredible place with flaws.
[04:38:28] a history of Indian removal, chattel slavery,
[04:38:34] the far too long fight for women's suffrage,
[04:38:41] the discrimination on who could immigrate here,
[04:38:46] Jim Crow, segregation.
[04:38:49] And as you reflect on those past 250, I think it's important for us to ask, how do we make
[04:39:03] sense of those flaws?
[04:39:09] America has one incredible gift, and that is the indelible capacity to correct.
[04:39:18] In this country, we don't make peace with our demons.
[04:39:23] We exercise them.
[04:39:26] In this country, we don't rest on our laurels.
[04:39:33] We fight for better.
[04:39:35] In this country, we don't ignore assorted pasts.
[04:39:39] We assure a better future.
[04:39:44] But this country doesn't correct on its own.
[04:39:47] It's not just some magical trick that just happens, like a magic erasure.
[04:39:50] That's not how it works.
[04:39:52] It's because people come together to do the work of correcting, and usually they start
[04:39:56] out as a small group of people, denied by everyone, ignored, told to go away, marginalized,
[04:40:04] told it could never be better.
[04:40:07] And yet those people work, and they organize, and they build.
[04:40:12] And they build more movement.
[04:40:15] They talk to more people.
[04:40:16] And soon enough, the ranks swell.
[04:40:17] People come together.
[04:40:18] People from all walks of life.
[04:40:20] From the unlikeliest sources to the people affected most.
[04:40:23] Building together that movement of people
[04:40:25] that finally uses the democratic process
[04:40:27] to correct our ills.
[04:40:28] Yeah.
[04:40:29] Right.
[04:40:30] And my friends, I share this right now
[04:40:40] at this moment of our 250th anniversary
[04:40:44] because we need that correcting right now.
[04:40:47] We live in the most unequal time in American history.
[04:40:57] It's easier to make a second billion dollars in this country than it is to make a fair
[04:41:01] living.
[04:41:03] Racism still denies too many people access to a good education, good health care, fair
[04:41:09] housing, clean air, drinkable water.
[04:41:14] People are still living in fear just because of who they love or how they identify.
[04:41:20] People are told they're less than because they pray the wrong way or they don't pray
[04:41:24] at all.
[04:41:26] And so America is in need of that correcting now.
[04:41:30] And we find ourselves at the precipice of a moment of correction.
[04:41:35] I just want you to understand the stakes of this moment.
[04:41:39] $50 million, $50 million and counting.
[04:41:45] That's how much the likes of DTE and Chevron and Exxon
[04:41:51] and Big Pharma and Big Tech and Big Health Insurance
[04:41:55] and APAC have already spent in this race.
[04:41:59] And we're still winning.
[04:42:14] Because friends, what they don't understand is that if all they got is money, we've got
[04:42:22] the many.
[04:42:23] And we've got the thing that has corrected every single error in the past and will correct
[04:42:28] of the future. We've got a movement of people coming together beyond our differences to build
[04:42:34] together what we cannot have alone. We've got each other, folks who may never understand
[04:42:40] the lives that one another lead, locking arms together to say that we will not have our
[04:42:44] future dominated by the likes of your big tech company to put a data center in our
[04:42:49] backyard. We will not, we will not accept the idea that in this country we're going
[04:42:55] to buy tanks and bombs for someone else when our own kids don't have health care.
[04:43:00] We will not accept the idea that you can come in and tell us that we cannot breathe clean
[04:43:08] air when we have all the technology we ever needed.
[04:43:13] And so I want us to remember that why they will bring all of their money and all of
[04:43:20] their power, that it is our choice to remain undunted, that we will not back down.
[04:43:34] When they tell us we can't have healthcare, we won't back down.
[04:43:39] When they tell us that they're going to raise our electricity rates, we won't back
[04:43:42] down.
[04:43:43] When they tell us they want to put that data center in our backyard, we won't back
[04:43:49] down.
[04:43:50] When they tell us that they want to take our tax dollars and give them there,
[04:43:54] when we've got kids who need them here, we won't back down.
[04:43:59] When they tell us we can't have union representation, we won't back down.
[04:44:04] When the billionaires tell us we can't tax them, we won't back down.
[04:44:09] And when they bring 50 million dollars into this race, we won't back down.
[04:44:15] We will continue to do the work of democracy.
[04:44:17] We will go out there and knock those doors.
[04:44:19] they make those phone calls and be undaunted at the polls.
[04:44:22] We will build a movement that connects to the love
[04:44:26] and the joy of the future we deserve rather than the sordid past we've had.
[04:44:31] And when they tell us that we're not enough, let's remind them that we're all we've ever
[04:44:53] needed. My name is Abdul Al Sayed. I am running for U.S. Senate. I hope I can earn more support. Thank you so much.
[04:46:23] you
[04:46:53] Talk about perfect timing, huh?
[04:47:22] Talk about perfect timing.
[04:47:26] Holy moly.
[04:47:30] Look at that.
[04:47:34] And we got a guest coming up right now.
[04:47:38] How do we feel about this speech, everybody?
[04:47:42] Do we like it? And not Abdulz. I mean mine. Okay. I know Abdulz was fire.
[04:47:46] One of the college dams gave me a gift.
[04:47:50] I'm not sure if you've ever seen a movie like this before.
[04:47:57] Look at that.
[04:48:00] Chinese money, baby.
[04:48:03] Abdul to the boomer, high five to AOC.
[04:48:08] You did great.
[04:48:13] What the fuck is this?
[04:48:14] Great speech cinema.
[04:48:15] No more and not just no more to the Trumpism but no more to the Democrats who compromise who conciliate who betray
[04:48:26] Democrats who will cooperate with fascists who will fund ice who will fund Israel who will help poison the planet
[04:48:33] Who will stiff workers and help the bosses?
[04:48:35] We don't need those Democrats anymore, and in fact I know we have a message for you
[04:48:42] We're coming
[04:48:43] We are unbossed unbought and unbound and we will become undeniable
[04:48:51] That's not the actual speech man fuck
[04:48:55] That part was actually really good in in in front of the audience to put it in a
[04:49:00] great speech cinema it's probably good to have a little practice round though
[04:49:20] you said you messed up a lot I only notice one I think you did great the
[04:49:24] crowd made a massive difference you killed it at the end no the end was
[04:49:27] fire. For sure. Let's see. Is the camera back on? Is it plugged in and everything?
[04:49:35] Oh, I see it. It's a bit dark. So,
[04:49:46] Perfect. Yeah, I'm not going to use it for now, but I'm going to use it after it's already
[04:50:01] muted. And then, oh, here's your treats. Surprise, small-time streamer Bernie Sanders did an
[04:50:10] apply for Schrumer, you could be good for him to learn tapes with Ludd and Senna.
[04:50:14] That's fine, I agree. College Dems had your back, Ankh. Yeah, I saw this.
[04:50:21] Kick Schrumer Destiny got banned from the College of American Vision after
[04:50:25] announcing he would harasses on Piker and his audience at the event. It is very
[04:50:29] funny. It is very funny to see a guy who like openly was like, I'm gonna go
[04:51:06] Yeah, there you go. We're gonna need a wider anyway when I have a guess
[04:51:14] What no, why do you want it? Oh, I mean, yeah
[04:51:21] Smells like
[04:51:23] Chicken salad in here
[04:51:25] You read this feature on your own this one. I did I got I got a little tweaks in the beginning
[04:51:30] and
[04:51:32] the and the quote and stuff is from
[04:51:34] No, but the rest of it was all me.
[04:51:38] A big part of that speech was supposed to be my speech.
[04:51:44] So that was supposed to be part of the, part of that was actually supposed to be the speech
[04:51:50] that I was going to do in Denver with Melot and Julie Gonzalez that I never got to.
[04:51:55] So I just like reworked it around for this.
[04:51:59] We don't need those Democrats any more.
[04:52:09] In fact, I know we have a message.
[04:52:17] We are coming.
[04:52:19] We are on boss.
[04:52:20] We're on boss.
[04:52:21] We're unbound.
[04:52:22] And we will become undeniable.
[04:52:26] easy as no contact order approval all this evidence bag get one you can never talk about
[04:52:42] you again and this harassment for good already if you're still in contact with the CDA you
[04:52:54] You should give them a heads up to the finance director you cross paths with is not being
[04:52:57] targeted by the sex best.
[04:52:58] Uh, yeah, he knows.
[04:53:10] You got to aura farm more.
[04:53:12] Stay after.
[04:53:13] Yeah, sure.
[04:53:24] So many of the Shadys exclusively care about drama. They don't even care about the speech. I mean some care about the speech. Come on now
[04:53:38] What is this?
[04:53:40] As we were gladly misrepresented, my points is for I miss info fed by Shad but still won't watch the video
[04:53:44] Watch for yourself and come to your own conclusion. Also, I totally plan on continuing my series interviewing fandoms because I think it's interesting
[04:53:50] The viewers are so stark he couldn't find any weirdos. The vibes are impeccable in the Hassan Abbey community
[04:53:56] Hassan is more upbeat. He's more hopeful and his viewers reflect that
[04:54:02] As the golden as Miguel says will keep an eye on Steven Azark following his Hassan as well videos
[04:54:09] Accusing him of creating narratives and hopes the worst for people like him
[04:54:11] He interviewed my viewers for like over an hour and he took 10 seconds close 10 second clips
[04:54:15] Now upload them and misrepresented what this person was saying or to manufacture a narrative
[04:54:19] It's a bunch of disaffected viewers and everybody's sad that I'm doing this. Why don't you ask Ethan?
[04:54:24] It's not my fans sending skulls of different people. I just like wrong. You're still here. Okay
[04:54:31] All right, perfect
[04:54:34] It's not my fans sending skulls different people that I dislike why didn't you ask other creators?
[04:54:39] Why is the Hassan pole so highly among people to live with their parents?
[04:54:42] But he pulls so lowly among people with that live with their children. What the fuck?
[04:54:46] This is what journals like this do is a this person is a lie. Oh my god. He's so butt-hurt
[04:54:52] Son of the viewers are so stark. He couldn't find any weirdos the vibes are impeccable in the Hassan Abbey community
[04:54:57] Hassan is more upbeat. He's more hopeful and his I like that
[04:55:01] He just straight up will repeat this this is delusion that like I and my community sent like
[04:55:08] Fucking skulls to Ethan's house or something. It's fucking awesome
[04:55:13] Certainly love that
[04:55:15] Hey, thanks. Thanks a lot, Ethan Klein.
[04:55:18] For
[04:55:20] making shit up
[04:55:22] that straight-up anti-semitic Nazi-aligned content creators use.
[04:55:29] Yeah, none of the Asmoles audience showed their faces is funny. Yeah, I wonder why.
[04:55:35] Wonder why.
[04:55:37] Viewers reflect that, but I also wanted weirdos. And this guy says, this is the guy by the way,
[04:55:43] This is the guy that made the YouTube video about me.
[04:55:45] So he interviewed my viewers for like over an hour,
[04:55:49] and he took 10 second clips from that over an hour interview,
[04:55:53] and he uploaded them and then misrepresented
[04:55:57] what this person was saying in order to manufacture
[04:56:01] a narrative that it's a bunch of disaffected viewers
[04:56:04] and everybody's sad that I'm doing this.
[04:56:10] But I also wanted weirdos.
[04:56:11] And this guy says, if you speak to Hassan fans, you will be speaking to absolute lunatics who will threaten to rape and kill you over a minor difference of opinion.
[04:56:19] That's the difference between the two audiences. Nobody has threatened me with any of those yet.
[04:56:23] I desperately wanted to get people who weren't the most normal human beings.
[04:56:28] I wanted those that were outlawed.
[04:56:30] People that could kind of match the energy of my Asmogold people. But I just couldn't find it.
[04:56:35] Why didn't you ask Ethan?
[04:56:37] What?
[04:56:41] It's not my fans that are sending skulls to different people that I dislike.
[04:56:47] Why didn't you do that?
[04:56:50] Why didn't you ask other creators?
[04:56:51] I looked through hundreds of messages and they were all fairly normal people with the
[04:56:56] job.
[04:56:57] It's really funny that he thinks that, you know, if they were to ask creators like,
[04:57:02] Oh, what do you think about sauce community versus asman golds community? I'm sure the creators would be like
[04:57:07] Yeah, we fucking hate has some community and we love asman golds community. We love the fucking racist chud
[04:57:14] We love the racist chuds that are constantly telling
[04:57:18] trans people to rope and you know
[04:57:22] have found
[04:57:25] Found a kind space on the internet for like-minded individuals who think all immigrants
[04:57:31] should be purged you know who say Somalis are parasitic that's that's
[04:57:38] definitely that's definitely what people are looking forward to that's that's what
[04:57:44] people like
[04:57:47] Yeah, meanwhile, these are my fucking haters, dude.
[04:58:17] I'm sorry.
[04:58:19] I'm sorry.
[04:58:21] I'm sorry.
[04:58:23] I'm sorry.
[04:58:25] It's just crazy because that's like, this is like, uh, I think he thought because it's like Democrat in the name he thought like, oh, no, this will be fine.
[04:58:35] I can just like go out and fucking openly, uh, uh, openly talk about how I'm gonna agitate and how I'm gonna disrupt the fucking event that, uh,
[04:58:46] event that you know college democrats have put together this national convention

[04:59:23] Bro, there's something so strange about like openly,
[04:59:30] openly filming yourself wanting to thwart an event.
[04:59:35] Put together that you were not invited to because you hate the person that they invited and
[04:59:42] Then just being fucking ass mad the entire time, you know
[04:59:46] making this up
[04:59:52] That's a claims college Democrats of America convention
[04:59:54] Let Janet Machia guy who's arrested for making bomb threats, but it wasn't Jared Machia in the picture
[04:59:58] He posted was Austin wise the finance director of the College Democrats of America yet another failed attempt
[05:00:02] The funny thing is the college thems led in Jared Mocky the same guy who got a guided tour to Hassan and Michigan the same
[05:00:08] Guy was literally for making bomb threats dude. What the fuck is going on man? This guy is such a fucking
[05:00:16] Dude, dude, dude
[05:00:20] Dude you can't do this man you cannot fucking do this
[05:00:26] Okay
[05:00:28] This is Laura Loomer behavior, dude
[05:00:32] What the fuck?
[05:00:36] Dude, what a fucking disgusting, toxic,
[05:00:48] insane fucking community, just so, so desperate, so odious,
[05:00:56] straight-up fucking rapist behavior, dude.
[05:01:00] Jesus Christ, who fucking behaves like this?
[05:01:10] They're calling Dee the Dem Jake Lang.
[05:01:15] In defense of Laura, she does not have a Nazi kid,
[05:01:18] so she has spare time.
[05:01:19] Fair.
[05:01:21] Centuries are defending Pestini too.
[05:01:24] Yeah, I saw that.
[05:01:29] Yeah, this guy went,
[05:01:30] So this is who we're platforming young Dems after all this attacks against the party after all this disgusting rhetoric and barring someone like Omni liberal who's been actively organizing and canvassing for Democrats at his behest, pathetic behavior.
[05:01:46] Why you got on two mics and no turntables? I have a mic on because I'm gonna have a guest in a second.
[05:01:52] That's why.
[05:02:00] It's good.
[05:02:05] All right, we got a guest in here.
[05:02:08] Hello. One second. I'm going to put this mic on you.
[05:02:13] There you go.
[05:02:15] And then I'm also going to.
[05:02:19] We would share
[05:02:39] All right, Ron he's leaving chat. Bye chat. Love you guys
[05:02:44] NYC DS a
[05:02:49] Okay, you're going to sit here so I can control the screen.
[05:02:56] Hold on, let me fix the audio so that they can hear you.
[05:03:05] Okay.
[05:03:06] All right, this should be, oh wait, it's so low.
[05:03:11] There we go.
[05:03:12] Okay.
[05:03:13] This should be good enough.
[05:03:14] Cool.
[05:03:15] Yeah, we've got some stuff.
[05:03:16] ever at the bottoms and MDC DSA hat and then
[05:03:32] Yeah
[05:03:36] Look at that
[05:03:38] All right humor. I love the
[05:03:40] I'm collecting all the hats from all the this is exactly one. Yeah. Yeah
[05:03:46] And then we've just got some pins including stomp out some words, which is our tent organizing campaign in DC. Hell, yeah
[05:03:54] Look at that and then a DC flag as well, so you can
[05:04:02] Okay
[05:04:03] Wait, like a dsa. Oh, no, just like DC. Oh, just like a straight up DC flag. Yeah, okay
[05:04:09] Well, I don't think I've ever seen the DC flag. This is my first time seeing I'm biased that I do think it's probably the best state flag
[05:04:15] It kind of looks like, this is like kind of literally the Chicago flag a little bit.
[05:04:21] A little.
[05:04:23] Less colors.
[05:04:25] I don't know. I don't know what I'm talking about. Don't listen to me.
[05:04:28] All right. Well, thank you so much for coming on.
[05:04:31] You guys, Metro DC, BSA got a tremendous number of victories put up on the leaderboard a couple weeks ago.
[05:04:43] And I wanted to hear about how that happened,
[05:04:47] what you guys have been doing to gear up for it.
[05:04:50] It kind of came out of nowhere a little bit.
[05:04:54] Yeah, well, I guess, like it seems that way.
[05:04:57] So I am not in leadership anymore.
[05:04:59] I was on steering for Metro DC from 2022 to 2024.
[05:05:04] I just ran and won my local council seat,
[05:05:08] but it's been sort of a slow going buildup,
[05:05:11] You know, in 2016, we got a ton of, like,
[05:05:16] DSA in general, we got a ton of people post-Bernie.
[05:05:19] In 2018, we ran a ton of races in Maryland and Virginia.
[05:05:23] And then in 2020, we had our first DC win
[05:05:26] with Janie Solis-George elected
[05:05:28] to the Ward 4 Council seat.
[05:05:30] And then in 2022, we passed an initiative
[05:05:33] to raise the tips minimum wage in DC.
[05:05:35] We're like building out the chapter capacity.
[05:05:38] And I mean, this year was historic,
[05:05:39] but it has been kind of like,
[05:05:41] we've been building out our electoral strength
[05:05:43] and tenant organizing and labor organizing at the same time.
[05:05:47] So what's gonna happen?
[05:05:48] Is Trump gonna actually take over DC now?
[05:05:51] Like, what's the, is there a real fear there?
[05:05:54] I mean, I think there's definitely a fear,
[05:05:56] but I think like he's tried,
[05:05:59] he's threatened to take over DC.
[05:06:02] He also has like sent ICE into our streets.
[05:06:04] He's something, I mean,
[05:06:04] you've seen something National Guard,
[05:06:06] not just downtown, but into our neighborhoods
[05:06:08] and everything.
[05:06:09] And I think this election shows that we're not afraid of him
[05:06:13] and that we are going to continue to organize
[05:06:15] and we're going to continue to fight to protect immigrants,
[05:06:18] to fight for rent stabilization, for all these protections,
[05:06:22] and to eventually fight for DC statehood.
[05:06:25] Wow, so that's like one of the goals of the chapter.
[05:06:27] Okay, also can you come a little bit closer?
[05:06:30] I'm sorry, this is a little bit busted
[05:06:32] because we're, you know, I'm,
[05:06:35] this is my remote setup, so.
[05:06:37] No, this is great.
[05:06:38] There's like issues with the focus, unfortunately.
[05:06:40] There's issues with the audio.
[05:06:42] Everyone is mad.
[05:06:43] Oh no.
[05:06:45] So please introduce yourself to our audience.
[05:06:49] I forgot to even do that.
[05:06:51] Hi everyone.
[05:06:52] My name's Uprna Raj.
[05:06:53] I have been a Metro DC DSA member since 2018 or 2019.
[05:06:58] I have been a tenant organizer with the chapter,
[05:07:01] was the chair of the chapter,
[05:07:02] and I just won the Democratic Party
[05:07:04] for the Ward 1 DC Council seat.
[05:07:07] So what are some of the major issues?
[05:07:09] I feel like DC is different than all these other cities
[05:07:16] in general.
[05:07:18] Yeah, I mean, in some ways, people in other cities
[05:07:23] have to pay rent.
[05:07:24] We have to afford utilities.
[05:07:25] We have to pay for childcare.
[05:07:26] So the cost of living crisis still bears down on us a ton.
[05:07:31] And that was a huge part, I think,
[05:07:33] of electing Janie, selecting me,
[05:07:35] collecting this whole wave of progressives.
[05:07:38] But we also are especially vulnerable
[05:07:40] because we don't have statehood.
[05:07:41] So, you know, there's National Guard walking our streets.
[05:07:46] Last year, Republicans and Trump just decided
[05:07:50] to take a billion dollars out of our budget
[05:07:52] that was gonna go to schools,
[05:07:53] gonna go to, you know, firefighters,
[05:07:56] like filling potholes, things like that.
[05:07:58] And they just never gave it back.
[05:08:00] So we had to-
[05:08:01] What are you doing with it?
[05:08:03] So it's like they just banned us from being able to use it effectively.
[05:08:06] Like it's our money, it's local money, not federal money, but in the budget, the federal
[05:08:12] budget last year, they just put in a writer that said like there's a billion dollars that
[05:08:16] we can't spend effectively.
[05:08:18] And that's, you know.
[05:08:19] But the, I mean, what's the reason for that?
[05:08:22] That sounds insane.
[05:08:23] It is.
[05:08:24] I mean, they're reasoning that DC can't manage a budget, you know, DC can't
[05:08:30] do this stuff.
[05:08:31] just their way to like try to flex their power over us. And I feel like DC has been the testing
[05:08:36] site for a lot of the Trump administration's attempts to take over blue cities. So, you know,
[05:08:44] we were one of the first cities to have ice on our streets. We had the National Guard on our
[05:08:49] streets. Wait, so there's no stated reason. Yeah, there's no stated reason. Yeah. I mean,
[05:08:54] it's basically it's basically just to punish DC and to like that's the most insane thing.
[05:09:00] I mean, he does insane stuff all the time, but that seems like exceptionally cruel and
[05:09:06] stupid.
[05:09:07] Oh, yeah.
[05:09:08] Yeah.
[05:09:09] And so like we were down on a hill and also like we were in, you know, Democratic senators,
[05:09:13] offices, trying to lobby them.
[05:09:16] And so many of them did not care.
[05:09:19] Like, you know, because for them it's like DC, like two years ago, not two years
[05:09:24] ago in 2023, we passed criminal code revisions, like common sense, public safety, like
[05:09:29] very, very middle of the road stuff.
[05:09:33] Republican Congress overturned it,
[05:09:35] and Biden signed that legislation to overturn
[05:09:39] our public safety legislation.
[05:09:40] So a lot of times.
[05:09:41] Like, it was too woke?
[05:09:42] Like, what?
[05:09:43] Yeah.
[05:09:44] And from his perspective, he thought it was like too soft
[05:09:48] on crime.
[05:09:50] But we've seen establishment Democrats and Republicans
[05:09:54] both kind of using DC as their bargaining chip
[05:09:58] on a lot of things.
[05:09:59] And so that's why we need statehood.
[05:10:01] We need to be able to be protected the same way
[05:10:03] a lot of other states are.
[05:10:04] Yeah, but then it's going to be a blue state.
[05:10:06] So which state are we chopping?
[05:10:09] I think we could merge.
[05:10:10] In order to create a balance.
[05:10:13] I mean, I think 51 is a great number,
[05:10:15] but we could always merge the, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
[05:10:19] But not totally though.
[05:10:20] That's even.
[05:10:21] So I'm saying DC obviously blue, right?
[05:10:24] It's obviously going to be blue.
[05:10:25] It's a deep blue city.
[05:10:28] which state are you cutting in half so that it's 52?
[05:10:34] And why is it North Dakota?
[05:10:36] Oh, no, I think the Dakota should merge.
[05:10:38] That's why.
[05:10:39] Oh, that's why you want to,
[05:10:40] well then that's one less state, one less red state.
[05:10:43] But I mean, I don't think like-
[05:10:45] This is exactly the kind of roke nonsense
[05:10:48] that's coming from the Democratic Socialists
[05:10:50] of America chat.
[05:10:51] That's crazy.
[05:10:53] Okay, so I'll do a side.
[05:10:55] So the statehood.
[05:10:56] Yeah, absolutely.
[05:10:57] an understatable desire, an understatable goal.
[05:10:59] Unfortunately, it's also seen as like another political
[05:11:04] football where, is there any appetite from the Democrats?
[05:11:08] I feel like Democrats never do anything cool
[05:11:11] to even gain leverage for the national party.
[05:11:14] Well, I mean, I have a lot of hope
[05:11:16] seeing like, in Virginia, then passing,
[05:11:19] obviously got overturned by the court,
[05:11:21] but then passing the map to like respond
[05:11:23] to Republican gerrymandering that DC statehood
[05:11:26] is the right thing to do, and it's the political thing to do.
[05:11:30] Yeah, but also at the same time,
[05:11:32] Spanberger just dunked on it immediately.
[05:11:35] So that still goes back to what I was talking about,
[05:11:38] which you're no stranger to, which is the ineptitude
[05:11:43] or rather the feckless nature
[05:11:44] of the National Democratic Party
[05:11:46] that simply wants things to remain intact
[05:11:50] and seemingly is much more frustrated about
[05:11:53] any sort of like left momentum, left mobilization,
[05:11:55] at least in my experience, that's what I've seen.
[05:11:58] Was there something similar in DC as well?
[05:12:00] Was there a lot of, is there like a big machine here as well?
[05:12:05] There was, but I would say that I think that this election
[05:12:08] was sort of the last gasp of that machine.
[05:12:11] So there is the green team, which was Mayor Bowser's
[05:12:15] kind of political machine, elected a lot of more,
[05:12:19] like neoliberal, moderate Democrats.
[05:12:22] But I think after this last election there isn't a single sort of like green team aligned
[05:12:29] like inside with Mayor Bowser elected will be coming in next year.
[05:12:35] But it has been, I mean like DC has had sort of decades of this establishment democratic
[05:12:41] rule which has also led to like decaying government agencies where people, you know,
[05:12:47] this election also became about not just sort of values
[05:12:51] and cost of living, but also just making government work.
[05:12:54] Like there are a lot of rats.
[05:12:57] Our trash doesn't get picked up that frequently.
[05:13:00] When you call an agency,
[05:13:02] you might not get responses for hours.
[05:13:04] And so there's definitely a political machine here,
[05:13:07] but I think it is on its way out.
[05:13:08] And I think like, I think people really see through it now.
[05:13:12] Okay, I mean, that's that's that's hopeful for sure. What are I mean, what are the steps
[05:13:20] what are the big hurdles in front of DC statehood? That's like the biggest goal of the of the
[05:13:27] chapter, at least for the for DC specific. Yeah, I mean, I think like DC statehood is
[05:13:35] like less likely than it is, you know, like, it's more likely that it won't happen
[05:13:40] then it will. But we've got to fight for it. If we get a Democratic Congress, if we get, you know,
[05:13:49] a good president, like not just a Democratic president, but a good president,
[05:13:54] I think that's like the most momentum we'll have. And so like 20,
[05:13:59] post-2028 is like, we've got to we've got to push for it. But I think it's going to require
[05:14:03] like DSA organizing on a national level, mobilizing chapters, especially in swing
[05:14:08] states especially in swing districts to be able to push for it too because you know like I said
[05:14:14] when you go into those senate offices and you go into those tele offices they don't really care
[05:14:17] about DC they care about people at home. I'm sure someone in the chat will correct me but I think
[05:14:24] we hit over 4,000 Duke's paying members after this election. That's a lot that's crazy. Yeah I think
[05:14:32] Damn, that's like half the city.
[05:14:33] Oh, New York might be higher at this point,
[05:14:36] but at one point we were like,
[05:14:38] had the highest concentration of DSA members.
[05:14:41] Wow, yeah, I mean, yeah, 4,000 is crazy.
[05:14:43] New York is 15,000 now, but like, that doesn't count.
[05:14:46] Exactly, they're in New York, yeah, yeah.
[05:14:48] They got boosted a lot, and there's too many people there.
[05:14:51] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[05:14:52] No, this is better.
[05:14:53] That's crazy.
[05:14:53] 4,000 is very large chapter.
[05:14:57] I mean, in my experience at least,
[05:15:00] I feel like the more there's public transit,
[05:15:02] albeit not the best,
[05:15:04] but the more there's public transit,
[05:15:05] the easier it is to organize.
[05:15:07] And someone is saying 3,500, 3,200.
[05:15:12] Okay, I gave us a little boost.
[05:15:14] That's aspirational.
[05:15:15] By the end of this year, we'll hit 4,000.
[05:15:16] Yeah.
[05:15:19] Philly is 2.1K.
[05:15:22] Yeah, you guys are,
[05:15:23] I mean, that's a big number.
[05:15:26] That's a huge chapter.
[05:15:28] This might be one of the biggest chapters
[05:15:29] in the country, I think, right?
[05:15:30] I think we're fourth.
[05:15:32] I think it goes New York City, LA, or we might be third.
[05:15:35] I think maybe we're third and then Chicago's fourth.
[05:15:38] But yeah.
[05:15:40] That's cool.
[05:15:41] But yeah, so we have been kind of grinding
[05:15:44] a little quietly.
[05:15:45] And for us, too, it's just like we're Maryland, DC,
[05:15:47] and Virginia, so it's a big reach,
[05:15:51] which is kind of nice because there are elections
[05:15:53] every year for us, but it also means
[05:15:54] we're a lot more spread out, too.
[05:15:58] Oh, so you guys like cross pollinate you you work on all the other
[05:16:02] You work on all the Virginia stuff too. Yeah. Yeah, and there are some valid initiatives this year that I think are Virginia
[05:16:08] Our Nova chapter is or no the branches endorsed
[05:16:12] Okay, that's cool. Um, all right. You guys have any questions? I
[05:16:19] Mean MD Eastern Shore, how do I join?
[05:16:22] How does someone join?
[05:16:25] That might be a separate chapter.
[05:16:29] DSAUSA.org slash join.
[05:16:31] DSAUSA.org slash join.
[05:16:35] And you can figure it out on your own.
[05:16:38] Will MDSA invade Delaware?
[05:16:43] I feel like Silly is better positioned for that.
[05:16:46] OK.
[05:16:47] But someone's got to invade Delaware.
[05:16:49] That's fine.
[05:16:50] Yeah.
[05:16:50] As long as we invade Delaware,
[05:16:52] I'm happy.
[05:16:53] Will my dad come back?
[05:16:54] No.
[05:16:57] Just people talking about your Pomodoro dress.
[05:17:01] That's very nice.
[05:17:02] Thank you.
[05:17:03] It's tomato season, despite the Diary of Parasite.
[05:17:06] Yeah.
[05:17:10] Ask her thought on Rose Bar.
[05:17:14] I don't know what Rose Bar is.
[05:17:16] What the fuck is Rose Bar, chatter?
[05:17:22] Let's talk about the mayor-elect, sure, let's talk about the mayor-elect.
[05:17:27] Yeah.
[05:17:28] I mean, I didn't, I'll admit, there was a lot of other campaigns that were taking place
[05:17:33] around the country, and I didn't pay close attention, but you said affordability was
[05:17:38] a major point here, and obviously, you're coming from a tenant organizing background.
[05:17:49] In your experience, before we get to the mayor-elect,
[05:17:52] in your experience, coming from the tenant organizing
[05:17:55] background, do you see a lot of people
[05:18:00] from across the political spectrum
[05:18:03] that get involved because they see
[05:18:06] that this is an opportunity to immediately take control
[05:18:09] over their lives in a very meaningful way?
[05:18:12] Yeah, I mean, I think it depends.
[05:18:14] You mean like they get involved with tenant organizing
[05:18:15] specifically, or they move from a choke?
[05:18:17] Yeah, tenant organizing.
[05:18:19] Yeah, I mean, I think it takes like similar to labor organizing.
[05:18:23] And also, it depends on the person.
[05:18:24] It depends on sort of how immediate their issues feel
[05:18:29] and also the level of risk they might be taking on.
[05:18:33] We saw a huge boost during the pandemic,
[05:18:36] because one, everyone's being told to stay home to stay safe.
[05:18:40] And if the conditions in your home are inhabitable,
[05:18:43] like that becomes all-encompassing all of a sudden.
[05:18:46] And then two, a ton of people were getting laid off
[05:18:48] and couldn't afford to pay rent.
[05:18:49] And so tenant organizing and like your home
[05:18:53] became a huge site of politicization for folks.
[05:18:57] And so like I organized with a building
[05:18:59] that's in word eight in DC,
[05:19:01] which is a predominantly black working class part of DC.
[05:19:05] And they were dealing with really awful,
[05:19:07] awful living conditions.
[05:19:08] And during COVID is like, you know,
[05:19:10] I think there were, I, this was before I got involved,
[05:19:13] but like there were attempts to sort of try to get,
[05:19:15] you know, to build out the tenants union there
[05:19:17] everything before, but it was COVID that really actually launched the efforts there and we
[05:19:22] organized a rent strike there alongside the tenants and I think at the peak, probably like
[05:19:27] 200 tenants were on rent strike and withholding their rent from the landlord and eventually
[05:19:34] it led to the office of the attorney general bringing a lawsuit, tenants won $41 million
[05:19:40] in rent relief, which is huge from that settlement.
[05:19:44] But I think it really just ebbs and flows on what people's immediate conditions are.
[05:19:49] And it's easier to ask someone to go to a tenant association meeting than it is to ask
[05:19:53] them to go on rent strike and withhold their rent and take on that risk.
[05:19:58] But I think that tenant organizing and building that base, really, I still am 100% about
[05:20:06] organized tenants and organized labor and that mass movement building being part of
[05:20:11] how we change this country.
[05:20:13] But I also saw at the council just like taking away tenant protections, cutting an emergency
[05:20:22] rental assistance.
[05:20:23] And I think has been like this year, I think like renters issues and tenant issues became
[05:20:29] a lot bigger for folks.
[05:20:31] Yeah.
[05:20:32] I mean, in an environment where homeownership is becoming increasingly less attainable,
[05:20:40] I feel like tenant organizing is gonna be the next wave
[05:20:44] of organizing in general.
[05:20:47] It's so funny,
[05:20:48] because like in the, I mean, labor unions are understandable.
[05:20:51] Everybody, well, maybe not in America,
[05:20:53] but people kind of get it where you get together
[05:20:56] and you're like withholding your labor if necessary.
[05:20:58] Whereas with tenants, you're, you know,
[05:21:03] you are technically their entire,
[05:21:06] their entire value is just you giving them money.
[05:21:10] Yeah, 100%.
[05:21:12] And I think like as long as sort of there is,
[05:21:17] like as long as America is treating basic needs
[05:21:21] like commodities and something for people
[05:21:23] to extract profit off of,
[05:21:24] you're gonna see people using their leverage
[05:21:26] however they can to try to.
[05:21:28] I mean, this is impossible without stated anyway,
[05:21:30] but do you guys have any public housing initiatives?
[05:21:33] I mean, so we do have public housing in DC.
[05:21:36] similar to like any other city. Janie's actually introduced a social housing bill,
[05:21:43] I think, I forget exactly how long ago, but a couple years ago. And that's a huge priority for me if,
[05:21:49] you know, we're coming back in is to try to actually get that passed. You know, I think we're
[05:21:53] seeing incredible things in Seattle and, you know, Montgomery County, our neighbor also has
[05:22:00] social housing and it would be great for us to like move in that direction of having publicly
[05:22:04] owned resident-controlled housing.
[05:22:07] How does the power sharing look like between the,
[05:22:11] because every city has a different mayor system.
[05:22:14] Like New York is very centralized.
[05:22:16] Yeah.
[05:22:17] But LA is very decentralized, where the council district
[05:22:20] members are more powerful technically than the mayor.
[05:22:25] The mayor is basically just signing off on things.
[05:22:27] Like they have some capabilities.
[05:22:28] Is it similar in DC to LA or New York?
[05:22:32] I would say we're probably in the middle of those.
[05:22:34] So like the council has legislative power, you know, but the mayor has a lot, like a lot of like the executive branch has a lot of power and the agencies there have a lot of power.
[05:22:45] And they the mayor proposes a budget the council can amend it, but they can only do so much within what the mayor proposes instead that with an unfriendly mayor has led to us having to save a lot of things and be on defense a lot.
[05:22:58] But with a much friendlier mayor and someone who'll prioritize like rental assistance and
[05:23:03] things like that, I think we'll be working just like from a better baseline.
[05:23:08] And like, you know, council can always override the mayor on legislation if they, if they
[05:23:11] veto it and stuff, but I would say we're pretty, pretty even.
[05:23:16] A lot of, I think issues in DC have been around in some ways we have good laws
[05:23:20] and good protections, but the enforcement is not there.
[05:23:24] like agencies won't necessarily go after wage theft
[05:23:27] or code violations in housing.
[05:23:29] And so that is where like that implementation enforcement piece
[05:23:33] is gonna be really, really important.
[05:23:34] Is there not enough funding for these agencies
[05:23:36] or what is the-
[05:23:38] I would say-
[05:23:39] Is it corruption?
[05:23:39] Yeah.
[05:23:40] Just naked corruption.
[05:23:41] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[05:23:42] Like there have been a lot of like agency heads
[05:23:43] who have like held multiple jobs
[05:23:45] or like have been found to not be qualified
[05:23:47] for their position.
[05:23:48] Like it's just, it's actually like serving
[05:23:51] people of DC has not been a priority for this mayor
[05:23:54] or for the people that she opened up.
[05:23:55] There's a racial component to all of this
[05:23:57] that I think people might not understand
[05:23:59] because when people think of Washington DC,
[05:24:01] they think like politicians, evil people,
[05:24:04] tyrants from all around the world coming in,
[05:24:06] flying in here, staying in hotels like this one.
[05:24:10] But DC is a very black city.
[05:24:12] Yeah, we used to be majority black
[05:24:14] because of these policies that have increased displacement.
[05:24:18] We are now a plurality black city.
[05:24:20] So like that's like, you know, D.C. is Chocolate City.
[05:24:22] Like that's what it's known as.
[05:24:23] And so you're seeing a lot of families,
[05:24:27] especially black and Latino families,
[05:24:29] get pushed out of their homes, pushed out of D.C. entirely.
[05:24:32] And so, you know, I think the hope for that
[05:24:36] Janie's and I both have, and progressives in general
[05:24:38] on the council is to try to create more affordable
[05:24:42] housing, to invest in tenant protections,
[05:24:44] and try to really keep people housed.
[05:24:47] And then to that point too, that you said like,
[05:24:50] The building that I was organizing with in Ward 8,
[05:24:53] like I said, working class, predominantly black,
[05:24:55] like the issues that they were dealing with
[05:24:57] would not fly in Ward 3,
[05:24:58] which is predominantly white, wealthier neighborhood.
[05:25:02] Like the department of buildings would come out
[05:25:05] occasionally, but they wouldn't enforce any of the fines.
[05:25:07] And like, it's just like, you see sort of this
[05:25:11] mismanagement and this lack of enforcement
[05:25:14] on specifically working class communities
[05:25:17] and communities of color.
[05:25:18] Yeah, definitely.
[05:25:20] And I think that also makes it less likely
[05:25:23] to push for statehood,
[05:25:24] makes it less likely to have any kind of political power
[05:25:27] as well.
[05:25:28] Yeah.
[05:25:28] And that's, I mean, a whole part of why we've been denied
[05:25:30] statehood for so long is because DC is such a black city
[05:25:35] and like it was a way to suppress black political power.
[05:25:38] All right, we got a nerd in here.
[05:25:39] Official membership numbers are 3763,
[05:25:42] fourth largest after New York City, LA and at large.
[05:25:46] At large doesn't count.
[05:25:48] I mean that's I had no idea that's crazy
[05:25:58] Someone is calling out your sorority
[05:26:01] Yeah
[05:26:03] Said great sorority girls doing good things
[05:26:07] You both mentioned earlier the public transit makes it easier for days a chapter to organize their planet slash discussions regarding organizing within more
[05:26:13] Suburban or rural areas that can also benefit from DSA candidates and agendas
[05:26:17] Yeah, I mean we like I mentioned we're the Metro DC chapter so we are in DC
[05:26:22] but we're also in suburban Maryland and in Northern Virginia and we did have a
[05:26:26] few endorsed Maryland candidates this past cycle too and we were able to
[05:26:31] politicize and talk to voters and I think like voters who had never been
[05:26:35] Canvas before voters who had been like left behind and locked out of the
[05:26:38] political process in their neighborhood so we are actively doing that and a
[05:26:42] lot of our early wins in like 2018 and stuff were in those suburban
[05:26:47] areas. And for a while, we actually weren't that successful in DC. It wasn't until 2020
[05:26:53] that we started getting some wins here.
[05:26:55] What means you want to join DSA?
[05:27:00] So for me, I mean, it was like, I was kind of DSA curious coming out of like, you know,
[05:27:05] Bernie, AOC, Rashida Sleeves, seeing all of them. But it wasn't until I actually, actually
[05:27:12] I started tenant organizing.
[05:27:14] It was I was dealing with a really terrible landlord
[05:27:17] who wouldn't fix anything,
[05:27:20] would like electricity wasn't working in half the house.
[05:27:23] Like we had a ton of rodents and then like refused to like,
[05:27:26] you know, fix the holes in the house and stuff.
[05:27:29] And he would like send people around to our house
[05:27:32] to try to intimidate us into paying rent.
[05:27:35] And then eventually the house got foreclosed on
[05:27:38] because he wasn't paying his mortgage
[05:27:39] even though we were paying our rent.
[05:27:41] That's crazy.
[05:27:42] Yeah.
[05:27:43] And then, and we only found out because one of my roommates
[05:27:46] was like on Zillow, just like, what if I, you know,
[05:27:49] like, just like, you know, perusing what houses look like
[05:27:51] if we were like had a million dollars and could buy one.
[05:27:53] And she saw our house on Zillow.
[05:27:56] Like we never found out from the landlord directly.
[05:27:58] So he was still collecting checks?
[05:28:00] He was trying to.
[05:28:01] Yeah. At that point, once we found out it was foreclosed.
[05:28:03] We stopped paying rent to him.
[05:28:06] But then-
[05:28:07] That is insane.
[05:28:08] Yeah.
[05:28:09] And then the house went up for an auction
[05:28:11] and a real estate company bought it.
[05:28:14] And they also refused to fix anything
[05:28:17] because they were trying to push us out
[05:28:19] so they could flip it and turn it into condos.
[05:28:23] And we just felt like I felt like
[05:28:25] we didn't know what our rights were.
[05:28:27] I just felt like we were just being like, you know,
[05:28:30] we were at the winds of these two people
[05:28:32] who were just trying to again like profit
[05:28:33] off of something that was our home
[05:28:35] and a place we needed to live.
[05:28:37] So I was talking, I looked at a lot of the different organizations in the area and like the only one that was really organizing tenants around rent strikes and around like more, I don't know, like more radical tactics, I guess, was the DSA chapter and stomp out some lords.
[05:28:55] And so I started doing anti eviction canvassing with them during COVID, like I mentioned, really started to organizing with them.
[05:29:02] And then that's how I got more involved with the actor.
[05:29:04] Don't you feel like this is hurtful to landlords
[05:29:06] to present slumlords as a cockroach?
[05:29:09] Well, you know what?
[05:29:10] I think like.
[05:29:11] You guys not care about feelings of landlords?
[05:29:14] You know, I think if you're willing to get rid
[05:29:17] of those cockroaches and help them get you rent out.
[05:29:18] You've got to get rid of the ironic question now
[05:29:20] that the DSA is big time on Fox News.
[05:29:23] I mean, yeah, if you maintain a slum,
[05:29:26] if you keep your tenants in slum conditions, then.
[05:29:28] Why do you want to make it illegal to be a slumlord?
[05:29:32] I don't even know how to answer that like I feel like they're providing value
[05:29:37] they're creating homes for people like yourself. Yeah they're home creators.
[05:29:41] They're materializing it out of nowhere. Yeah. No. Yeah I mean I've
[05:29:48] definitely run into questions that have been somewhat along those lines but like
[05:29:52] my thing is like you know what if you if you follow the rules like sure you're
[05:29:58] good, I guess. But it's like we have so many people who are trying to hike up rents, so
[05:30:04] many landlords who are trying to hike up rent, even if they're not slum lords, you know,
[05:30:07] so many landlords who are trying to just like extract every bit of money that they can.
[05:30:12] Is there any rent stability mechanism here? Like price stability mechanism?
[05:30:15] We do have rent stabilization. It only applies to buildings built before 1975. So yeah.
[05:30:21] Great.
[05:30:22] So that was a huge part of my campaign is I want to expand it to effectively all
[05:30:27] multi-family buildings and what about tipping your landlord oh yeah that's a
[05:30:34] good idea yeah you always have to tip your landlord 25% that's what I yeah yeah
[05:30:39] yeah I want an extra 5% if they pay the utility bills on time but yeah no I I
[05:30:48] mean I got a lot of that of like your disincentivizing and development and like
[05:30:54] like the, the, the, what development? Well, the reason
[05:30:58] these builders aren't building in DC right now is because
[05:31:01] like Trump just laid off a ton of our workforce and there's a
[05:31:04] lot of uncertainty around economics. I love, I love when
[05:31:09] people say, yeah, any kind of rents the price stability
[05:31:12] initiative, any kind of like, yeah, any, any kind of
[05:31:16] initiative like that is going to have negative consequences
[05:31:20] on building new projects, building new development. It's
[05:31:22] like first, what kind of development is being built
[05:31:25] is a real question here.
[05:31:26] And secondly, where is the development anyway?
[05:31:29] It's not like they're building
[05:31:30] and we don't have enough rent control anyway.
[05:31:34] Yeah, and it's also like, is the purpose of building
[05:31:38] more housing to just have buildings
[05:31:40] or is it for people to be able to live in those buildings
[05:31:42] and be able to afford to live in those buildings?
[05:31:43] Oh, easy question, is to have more buildings?
[05:31:46] Oh, yeah, no, no, no, yeah.
[05:31:47] Is to have more buildings that Black Rock and...
[05:31:50] Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
[05:31:51] to provide value to shareholders.
[05:31:53] Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
[05:31:55] I can't tell if you're basic fact about buildings.
[05:32:00] No, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[05:32:00] Pomes are a speculative asset, and it's not,
[05:32:06] like when people, it's kind of yucky
[05:32:08] when people live in them actually.
[05:32:09] No, yeah, yeah, no.
[05:32:10] I prefer when people don't live in them.
[05:32:13] My favorite is when it's just like,
[05:32:14] a foreign investor that purchases an entire
[05:32:17] apartment unit just so that they can park their assets.
[05:32:21] Yeah, I think we should have like housing for like one,
[05:32:24] not housing for all.
[05:32:25] Like one person.
[05:32:26] One person, that might even be too much.
[05:32:29] As long as they're like super rich.
[05:32:30] Yeah, exactly.
[05:32:31] And they have other houses
[05:32:32] where they're displacing other people
[05:32:34] and not using the house.
[05:32:37] As long as that's the case.
[05:32:38] Okay.
[05:32:39] Can she fix the potholes on MacArthur Boulevard?
[05:32:45] I'll try.
[05:32:46] I don't think that's in Ward 1, but I'll try.
[05:32:48] Can you ask me about future project Mr. DSA has now after all their successes in
[05:32:53] Maryland or Virginia? Future project in Maryland or Virginia? Yeah and also
[05:32:58] there's a good data center related electricity bill related question as
[05:33:02] well. Okay in Virginia I know that there are three ballot initiatives that are
[05:33:06] coming up that the chapter is going to be organizing around so that would be a
[05:33:09] really good way to get involved in Virginia. In Maryland I'm not as
[05:33:14] familiar with what's happening because we just had elections there. I don't even know what Maryland is. I'm totally not familiar.
[05:33:22] And then, oh, the other one was about Virginia and power bills. Oh yeah. Ask her where does she rank DC public transportation compared to other cities.
[05:33:36] I think it's underrated in parentheses. I do think it's underrated. I mean, I think like New York, like New York City has a world class public
[05:33:42] system like it's definitely like well the trains yeah I wouldn't say it's
[05:33:47] where I look it has a real it has the best public transit system in the United
[05:33:53] States yes which is literally the most impossibly low bar I know yeah okay
[05:34:00] Tokyo has a world-class public transit system New York City has a mid-class
[05:34:04] but best in us I would say DC I would argue it could be second like I can get
[05:34:10] effectively, I mean, it's, it's not as reliable as it should be
[05:34:13] yet. It's not like, as like routes aren't as direct as they
[05:34:17] could be yet, but between metro and buses,
[05:34:21] Is there any development? Is there any initiative to build
[05:34:23] more lines? Or?
[05:34:25] Yeah, I mean, I think less than the metro itself, I think
[05:34:28] the bus system is where people are prioritizing, like trying
[05:34:31] to get it to be more reliable, trying to get routes to like
[05:34:35] the increase the number of routes, build more bus
[05:34:37] priority lanes, things like that. But I do think it's pretty good. I checked the bus here.
[05:34:43] I was told it was going to be a $10 increase. Is there an increase in the fare or something?
[05:34:49] I know that there's going to be an increase, but I think maybe $10 a monthly
[05:34:54] amount or the weekly amount. I don't know. Tell her we want street cars.
[05:35:00] So I feel like if we really invest in the bus and we have bus priority lanes,
[05:35:06] I, you know, I think the streetcar would have been a great project had it been actually
[05:35:12] really invested in and built out entirely, but I, I think the bus is our, our gentle
[05:35:19] giant of the transit system.
[05:35:21] And I think we need to invest in those more.
[05:35:23] Are we, are we doing them fast and free?
[05:35:26] Zoran style?
[05:35:27] I think fast first.
[05:35:28] And then I would really like to get to free.
[05:35:30] And I know that the transit union is also supportive of free buses.
[05:35:34] Oh, wow.
[05:35:35] Okay.
[05:35:36] And DC did pass free buses, but the Womata board,
[05:35:39] which includes regional appointees from Maryland
[05:35:41] and Virginia overturned that decision.
[05:35:44] Overhead powered buses on 16th Street.
[05:35:48] Someone's just saying that.
[05:35:49] I think they're just throwing out ideas.
[05:35:51] No, yeah, thank you.
[05:35:52] There is like, this is what you should do next.
[05:35:55] Yeah, yeah.
[05:35:56] Isn't this wonderful?
[05:35:57] It's more annoying than a town hall.
[05:35:59] No, I have no idea how you're like keeping up with this.
[05:36:02] Yeah.
[05:36:03] buses are free in Alexandria, Virginia, across the river.
[05:36:06] Yeah, they are.
[05:36:10] And if you live in Maryland and Virginia,
[05:36:11] ask your motor board reps to allow us to have free buses.
[05:36:16] Read this one.
[05:36:17] What should we do about RFK Stadium?
[05:36:19] We just removed the street car
[05:36:20] that would have gone straight there.
[05:36:23] Yeah, I mean, I think we need more enforcement.
[05:36:25] I mean, coming into council, I'm gonna be really,
[05:36:27] I'm gonna have a really strong eye around enforcement
[05:36:30] around the transit investments that were made.
[05:36:33] And especially the labor protections
[05:36:34] that we put in there too.
[05:36:36] I feel like enforcing the project labor agreements
[05:36:38] and labor peace agreements for that
[05:36:39] is gonna be really important.
[05:36:41] But yeah, I think we gotta invest in more bus lines
[05:36:44] and stuff to go to RFK
[05:36:46] because traffic is gonna be a cluster on game days.
[05:36:49] Yeah.
[05:36:50] Has she considered a hyperloop?
[05:36:52] No, I don't think, I don't think-
[05:36:54] I wish.
[05:36:56] A hyperloop, Elon Musk?
[05:36:58] Elon Musk I think is,
[05:37:00] you know, a hyperloop is the Elon Musk thing.
[05:37:02] Oh my God, no, right.
[05:37:03] I was thinking like some sci-fi, something, nevermind.
[05:37:05] No, it's not sci-fi at all.
[05:37:07] Wait, what's a hyperloop?
[05:37:08] It's just a tunnel.
[05:37:10] That only, a tunnel that only takes one test at a time.
[05:37:13] That's so cool.
[05:37:14] Yeah, they did it in Nevada.
[05:37:16] It was a spectacular failure.
[05:37:18] Oh my God.
[05:37:19] Yeah, tunnel would get clogged down all the time.
[05:37:24] Yeah, it's great.
[05:37:25] It's fantastic.
[05:37:26] Elon Musk could, I think, stay away from DC forever.
[05:37:29] Oh yeah, he did.
[05:37:29] He could stay away from America in general.
[05:37:31] He was like potentially trying to buy a hotel in my ward,
[05:37:35] like the Lyme Hotel in Adams Morgan.
[05:37:37] He ended up not making an offer.
[05:37:39] And like, I think the original owner
[05:37:40] was just repurchased it or whatever, but, oh, thank you.
[05:37:46] Yeah.
[05:37:50] Okay, what else, Chad?
[05:37:54] It's not just a tunnel, it has gamer lighting, that's true.
[05:37:59] Okay.
[05:38:01] be a true DCer and support local oh my god they just keep telling me to go to
[05:38:07] the Smithsonian. I mean the Smithsonian's are really great museums if you have them in there and
[05:38:12] they're free which is incredible. Yeah I'm just I'm you know what I'm gonna go I'm gonna go to
[05:38:17] sleep that's what I'm gonna do after this I'm so tired. Make her legalized weed everywhere.
[05:38:25] Well, so DC did pass also a ballot initiative to legalize weed and then Congress overturned it
[05:38:33] How does I mean so what do you have no autonomy? Yeah, but at all that's so it's got to be annoying. Oh, it's awful
[05:38:42] 700,000 people live and work here and don't have control over our budget or our laws at the end of the day
[05:38:48] And so like we my perspective is I'm gonna try to pass and fight for what I can and
[05:38:53] Have you guys ever thought about like making it more annoying for the Congresspersons that
[05:38:57] have their second homes here to live here so that they have to like so you have more power
[05:39:02] over them?
[05:39:03] I could be wrong, but I think that is one of the tax proposals that current council member
[05:39:08] is has put forward.
[05:39:09] What, like second home?
[05:39:10] Yeah, yeah, like second home.
[05:39:11] No.
[05:39:12] I think so.
[05:39:13] I mean, they're gonna nuke that.
[05:39:15] There's zero percent chance.
[05:39:16] There is.
[05:39:17] There is.
[05:39:18] Because there's broke-ass Congresspersons, too.
[05:39:19] James Comer in Kentucky is a Republican Congressperson who has a bill in on the house that's I think
[05:39:26] being heard on Wednesday that would, it would keep us from being able to raise taxes effectively
[05:39:33] or be able to change our taxes.
[05:39:35] So if you like call your Congress people, tell them to vote against James Comer's bill.
[05:39:40] Yeah, but there's Congress people.
[05:39:43] I know, I know.
[05:39:44] So they are never going to allow to be taxed extra.
[05:39:48] But I think also, like, members of Congress
[05:39:53] need to worry about their own elections
[05:39:54] and stop messing with DC.
[05:39:56] Like, they should go to their own home districts
[05:39:58] instead of, like, dealing, you know, trying to feel like.
[05:40:02] I feel like with a competent Democratic party,
[05:40:05] DC stated it could be a real push.
[05:40:07] Oh, I think so.
[05:40:08] And I think, I mean, like, I think if we,
[05:40:15] I think if, yeah, I think if, you know,
[05:40:17] the Democratic Party and like whoever is in the majority positions for the Democratic Party
[05:40:23] is willing to like whip their members, like we could, we could pass it in Congress. It's
[05:40:29] just a matter of if they have the will.
[05:40:33] How do you feel about the American flag blue reflecting pool?
[05:40:39] Oh my god.
[05:40:41] Do you sometimes go over there to look at it and go that's exactly the same color
[05:40:45] of the American flag?
[05:40:46] Well, so I will also tell you they also fix there's this park in my ward called
[05:40:53] Malcolm X Park, Rady and Hill Park
[05:40:55] Where they fixed the fountains and within days it turned into brown water and was like like it's a cost
[05:41:03] Also Americans a different variant
[05:41:05] American flag yeah, exactly
[05:41:08] So I'm you know, I'm really glad that we're getting billions of dollars taken from our budget. So
[05:41:13] So Trump can do is.
[05:41:16] Is that what he's using it on you think?
[05:41:18] No, no, no, no.
[05:41:18] Is it beautification initiatives?
[05:41:20] No, I mean, it's all, I saw the money that he took
[05:41:22] from SNAP and healthcare and everything that he's using.
[05:41:25] Who needs food?
[05:41:26] Honestly, it's just, so, I mean,
[05:41:30] how was the beautification initiative work?
[05:41:32] Cause it feels like from the outside,
[05:41:35] I don't really come to DC that often,
[05:41:37] but you know, the rest of the country is looking
[05:41:39] at DC and they're thinking to themselves,
[05:41:43] Well, this is exactly, this is right about
[05:41:45] how we thought this would go.
[05:41:47] Yeah, I mean, it's expected, it's a spectacular fuck up.
[05:41:51] Yeah, I mean, DC is an incredible city
[05:41:53] and the past year has been super bleak.
[05:41:56] Like, I don't think it's great for tourism
[05:41:58] to have like arms troops walking past your restaurant.
[05:42:02] What about the face banners?
[05:42:04] Oh my God.
[05:42:06] It's distracted, right?
[05:42:07] Because he's so hot.
[05:42:08] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[05:42:09] Having his sexy face plastered, whatever.
[05:42:11] Like if he was uglier, I would be like, oh, that's fun.
[05:42:14] It's just like a regular possibly so handsome when he's.
[05:42:17] That's what people say.
[05:42:18] They're like that trunk is so handsome.
[05:42:21] When he's hitting that look like the eyebrow.
[05:42:25] It's like he's smizing.
[05:42:27] Yeah.
[05:42:30] Those are good too.
[05:42:32] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[05:42:35] How was the 250 fair and did you go every day?
[05:42:40] Yeah, I couldn't get enough of it.
[05:42:42] I mean, I'll say like I don't-
[05:42:43] You're one of the seven people that's kind of-
[05:42:45] Yeah, if you look at the picture
[05:42:46] and it's like very sparsely attended,
[05:42:48] it's like there, you can figure out where I am.
[05:42:51] Yeah.
[05:42:52] But no, I-
[05:42:52] You brought the average age down to 87.
[05:42:55] Yeah, yeah, exactly.
[05:42:56] Yeah.
[05:42:59] But I, I mean, I didn't,
[05:43:01] I don't really come downtown that often anyways
[05:43:03] and like have avoided it as much as I can
[05:43:05] over the past year and a half.
[05:43:07] Is there a drama like that
[05:43:08] where it's like the DC, like the politics side of DC
[05:43:11] and like the real DC where all the residents live,
[05:43:14] it's like two separate realities.
[05:43:15] Yeah, I mean, we have a lot of people who live,
[05:43:17] like who work in politics,
[05:43:19] who are still like part of, you know, real DC or whatever,
[05:43:22] but it absolutely is a huge disconnect
[05:43:24] because it's like you have the people,
[05:43:26] I mean, once every four years,
[05:43:28] you have like the national politics,
[05:43:30] like, you know, people who pay attention
[05:43:32] to local politics who are like very loudly
[05:43:35] against Jamie, it's against me.
[05:43:38] And then after the election's over,
[05:43:40] they go back to the national politics side of things.
[05:43:42] Yeah.
[05:43:43] But it's definitely a tension, but I
[05:43:46] think it's more just like I want people not in DC
[05:43:48] to realize that we're not just like the Hale
[05:43:52] or the federal government.
[05:43:53] We are like, there are teachers, there are bus drivers.
[05:43:56] Like there are a ton of people who live here who are just
[05:43:59] everyday people.
[05:44:00] Yeah.
[05:44:01] Do you know where Mitch McConnell is
[05:44:03] and can we go visit him?
[05:44:05] I miss him.
[05:44:06] I think he's, oh, oh, I forgot, I forgot, oh my gosh.
[05:44:09] Well, I mean, like, according to that,
[05:44:11] he's definitely not AI photo.
[05:44:13] He stopped responding to my text messages.
[05:44:15] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[05:44:16] It's great, it's making me sad.
[05:44:18] Well, just like, I'm sure in like three days
[05:44:20] he'll send you another photo with his hands
[05:44:22] on an altered newspaper.
[05:44:24] Yeah.
[05:44:25] I'll be fine.
[05:44:26] So you're, your team possibly AI?
[05:44:28] I don't know, I mean, I'm not, I'm not.
[05:44:31] He's in a vegetative state when he was alive anyway.
[05:44:34] So I don't know how big of a difference it makes.
[05:44:36] Let's be real, he's 84 years old and can barely walk.
[05:44:39] Yeah, I mean, I did see the,
[05:44:42] I don't know, something on Twitter today
[05:44:43] about how Andy Beshear was told that Mitch McConnell was dead
[05:44:48] before the photo came out.
[05:44:49] Yeah, and that's the reason why he released a statement
[05:44:54] that like demanding proof of life.
[05:44:56] Cause people around him, around Mitch McConnell
[05:44:58] or people in Kentucky politics were saying
[05:45:01] There was a new picture today, wait, really?
[05:45:05] Let me see.
[05:45:07] Send me the new photo, chatters.
[05:45:16] What is this?
[05:45:17] Bring laser hair removal back to estheticians.
[05:45:19] Dermatologists charge too much.
[05:45:21] Also expand Whitman Walker type of healthcare.
[05:45:23] Sorry, random thoughts.
[05:45:25] Okay, guys, that's...
[05:45:27] The laser hair removal one is so niche.
[05:45:30] Yeah, what the fuck?
[05:45:32] How hairy are you chatter, God damn.
[05:45:35] Okay, I don't think there's a new picture that came out today.
[05:45:41] I think people are just lying.
[05:45:46] What?
[05:45:48] Okay, dude.
[05:45:50] Mitch McConnell is dead,
[05:45:51] but his office released a new photo
[05:45:53] of him wearing the same shirt as the other photo.
[05:45:55] Yeah, I don't think...
[05:46:05] I don't think this is a new photo.
[05:46:06] I think someone is just...
[05:46:08] What is this?
[05:46:12] Wow, he looks so good.
[05:46:17] Yeah, he's in tip-top shape.
[05:46:21] Yeah.
[05:46:23] New photo plus analysis.
[05:46:24] Oh my god.
[05:46:26] Okay, that's too long.
[05:46:28] Oh wait, this is a new photo.
[05:46:34] What?
[05:46:42] What is this?
[05:46:46] I don't, I think we're going crazy.
[05:46:48] I think AI is making us crazy.
[05:46:50] And it's not just that, like, there's a lot of fake photos out there,
[05:46:55] but then there's also this, like, endless suspicion of, like, possibly real photos that people think are fake.
[05:47:06] What is this? Andrew Turke. Andrew Turke got arrested?
[05:47:14] You know who this guy is?
[05:47:15] Yeah. Was he not already arrested?
[05:47:18] in Romania, but then the Trump Batman kind of like, the Trump Batman kind of
[05:47:25] moves some stuff around. Ask her what a snow crate is. A snow crate. Snow crate. What's
[05:47:32] it? So as a perfect example of like the mismanagement in DC versus in New York City,
[05:47:38] like when there is that big snowstorm at the beginning of the year in January,
[05:47:42] It was just like a layer of snow with a layer of frozen ice on top of it, and Zoran paid
[05:47:52] people to help sweep the snow, and they were able to clear it pretty quickly.
[05:47:57] I think ours was like two or three weeks of it just being completely frozen solid, and
[05:48:02] people couldn't get anywhere.
[05:48:05] Bus stops had huge ice mountains on them, and Snow Creek came out as like the term
[05:48:11] about in downtown though, like around the-
[05:48:13] It was bad in downtown too.
[05:48:15] Oh, okay, so then there could be some advantages
[05:48:18] in this otherwise this not so great situation,
[05:48:22] you never, I mean that never happens, never mind.
[05:48:25] I'm not saying anything.
[05:48:26] So but they're, the lack of support
[05:48:29] from the federal government or the impediments
[05:48:32] that they offer end up harming them as well.
[05:48:34] Oh yeah, and I mean that's what we were saying
[05:48:36] when they were doing the billion dollars thing
[05:48:38] is we were like, these are the streets
[05:48:40] you drive on, but we won't be able to like fund poppoles for like,
[05:48:43] or like filling the poppoles. Um, like this is trash pickup.
[05:48:47] That's going to affect you because it's going to be delayed. Yeah.
[05:48:51] But they're only here four days a week. So if it does,
[05:48:57] yeah. All right. Well, thank you so much for coming.
[05:49:01] This was wonderful and congratulations. Yeah.
[05:49:03] And congratulations to Metro DCDSA. Uh, you guys are doing great.
[05:49:09] You guys are doing a great job.
[05:49:10] And, you know, I hope you adjust well
[05:49:15] to the newfound negative attention
[05:49:20] that you will all be receiving.
[05:49:22] Yeah, I mean...
[05:49:23] It's tough.
[05:49:25] But you do use to it.
[05:49:26] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[05:49:26] I think it's been bound to happen.
[05:49:29] Like, I feel like if we're getting that attention,
[05:49:31] we're doing something right.
[05:49:32] We're challenging the power of SIPI, so...
[05:49:34] That's right.
[05:49:35] Oh, is there anything you want to promote?
[05:49:36] Oh, that's fine.
[05:49:37] join DSA and also fight for DC statehood.
[05:49:41] Tell your senators and your Congress people.
[05:49:43] Okay, thank you so much.
[05:49:45] Yeah, no, thank you.
[05:49:46] Thank you.
[05:49:47] All right, let me get that.

[05:51:12] Alright.
[05:51:15] I'm gonna get the truck.
[05:51:21] I'm gonna get the truck.
[05:51:26] I'm gonna get the truck.
[05:51:32] All right
[05:51:36] What the fuck is going on is it ice
[05:51:40] Is it actually ice because that makes this kind of funny it's like the one time
[05:51:47] Because he's like super anti-immigrant
[05:51:53] Is the Burnham government finally doing something good
[05:51:56] Is it the British government? Is there like an extradition demand or something? What the fuck is going on?
[05:52:03] U.S. Marshal Service?
[05:52:11] British prosecutors announced last Saturday that they were seeking the extradition of the brothers on rape and sex trafficking charges.
[05:52:17] Wow! That's pretty crazy.
[05:52:21] have you seen the news shut the fuck up
[05:52:32] oh wow it's like a whole ass fucking TMZ operation hold on I got a few real
[05:52:39] That's crazy.
[05:52:42] Mr. Saber, do you mind signing?
[05:52:44] Take, take.
[05:53:06] Back lock.
[05:53:39] You know these things?
[05:53:41] Yeah.
[05:53:42] They're good with all the things that are.
[05:53:44] Yeah.
[05:54:09] and
[05:54:19] and
[05:54:34] Patrick bed David reacts to the ketchup attack dude
[05:54:38] This guy's fucking awesome. He mocks me so hard with his Patrick bed David
[05:54:44] I've shown his clips before on this broadcast
[05:54:48] Mine is mine is wag and my numbers guy is nothing. He's got he's the real numbers guy
[05:54:54] So I'm looking at something like this very controversial somebody is throwing ketchup on
[05:55:06] Resa Palaví why is he throwing ketchup and not something else maybe they throw in something
[05:55:12] like a poisonous something right so you look at ketchup ketchup is red the opposite of ketchup
[05:55:21] Trump is mustard, right mustard is yellow.
[05:55:24] So maybe what they're trying to tell us is something about the color of ketchup and the
[05:55:28] color of mustard, how it's, you know, you mix it together, it's orange.
[05:55:33] And they're trying to say something about, you know, Donald Trump, his they say in his
[05:55:37] tan is orange, right?
[05:55:39] The people is calling him the orange man.
[05:55:41] So maybe this is their way of trying to say something about Trump.
[05:55:45] Or here is another theory, right?
[05:55:48] You look at what is ketchup and mustard going on hot dogs, right?
[05:55:53] It's the July 4th, 250 years anniversary of United States
[05:55:59] so maybe they're trying to say something about how they don't want
[05:56:04] Resapalavi to become the new leader of Iran because they don't like what he is going to do
[05:56:10] with America in terms of diplomacy and
[05:56:13] everything like that
[05:56:15] So beast mode goaded. I'm a numbers guy is the opposite of ketchup is no ketchup
[05:56:25] This guy right here now this guy this guy he's a real numbers guy
[05:56:30] I've I've heard him talk about the ketchup and the Patrick bed David and he knows exactly what's going on
[05:56:40] He out PBD PBD
[05:56:45] Yeah, so let's take a look at what happened social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate have been arrested in Miami
[05:56:55] US Marshal Service tells Associated Press
[05:56:59] Influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested by federal authorities
[05:57:05] Saturday in Miami according to US Marshal Service
[05:57:08] Brandy McCarran a spokesperson for the US Marshal Service told the Associated Press that they weren't was sealed
[05:57:13] British prosecutors announced late Saturday they were seeking the
[05:57:17] extradition of the brothers on rape and sex trafficking charges. The offenses are
[05:57:22] alleged to have occurred between July 2010 and August 2017. The Crown
[05:57:29] prosecution service said in a statement, now this is shocking information, not
[05:57:35] because the Tate brothers were not because the Tate brothers are
[05:57:39] particularly powerful individuals or whatever, was shocking about this is that the Crown Prosecution
[05:57:46] Service actually prosecuted a rape charge. If you know anything about the Crown Prosecution
[05:57:53] Service, they're notoriously bad at that sort of thing. I mean, they're so bad at
[05:58:00] it that that you know in spite of the the racialized nonsense that you hear from
[05:58:08] restore Britain types like they're just notoriously bad across the board so that
[05:58:17] is the most shocking turn of events here but maybe Andy Burnham is finally
[05:58:21] turning the goddamn ship around. British prosecutors announced late Saturday the
[05:58:30] brothers proponents of hyper masculinity proponents of hyper masculinity who have
[05:58:37] millions of fathers on social media are dual US and British citizens who moved
[05:58:40] to Romania in 2016 they were arrested in 2022 accused of participating in
[05:58:44] schemes to lure women for sexual exploitation they denied those
[05:58:48] allegations and the case didn't go forward because of the legal and procedural irregularities.
[05:58:53] The former professional kickboxers are massifonger fans, particularly young men and boys, by professing
[05:58:58] a lifestyle of luxury and unapologetic misogyny.
[05:59:01] Depending charges in the United Kingdom, accused the brothers of abusing women between
[05:59:04] 2012 and 2015 in an area north of London where they grew up, their lawyers had said
[05:59:10] they denied the allegations.
[05:59:16] I just had Andrew and Tristan Tater as in Miami for wearing these outfits.
[05:59:21] Oh my God. Look at how short his fucking pants are. Oh my God.
[05:59:26] Oh my God. What the fuck was this guy doing?
[05:59:30] I didn't even realize those pants. Oh my God. I was so focused on,
[05:59:37] I was so focused on the,
[05:59:38] the skin tight disgusting purple shirt
[05:59:43] that I didn't even notice what the f***
[05:59:47] pirate lord
[06:00:05] straight up the blues
[06:00:09] Why is his brother bald now? It's really funny his brother also got like the fucking craziest nose job
[06:00:15] I've ever done seen in my dang life
[06:00:19] Like it genuinely
[06:00:23] Genuinely a wild nose job his nose looks like a button nose now
[06:00:39] the
[06:00:52] way lead
[06:00:54] spare all of its money
[06:01:05] It's kind of unbelievable.
[06:01:25] Troy Jackson swept Cumberland and secured a majority of delegates.
[06:01:30] Do you see what melon had to say about AOC?
[06:01:37] Did he go to the beach that makes you old?
[06:01:44] That's disrespect man.
[06:01:50] That's disrespect on our boy, on melon boy.
[06:01:59] Jackson sweeps Cumberland by capturing what seems to be all 149 delegates of Portland, and
[06:02:03] its surrounding town, Georgia, Jackson will become the Democratic nominee against Susan
[06:02:06] Konsomain's U.S. Senate race replacing Graham Platner.
[06:02:14] It's Trayodathon.
[06:02:59] she's not gonna have any chance. That's what James Carville said.
[06:03:16] please
[06:03:22] terryduriden song please we haven't carried the flame in like a week bro I
[06:03:25] I know we really haven't carried the flame at all.
[06:03:29] Carried tomorrow.
[06:03:30] Are you gonna sleep or what, Big H?
[06:03:32] Yes, it's not even, it's fucking 5 p.m. in Los Angeles
[06:03:35] and it's only 8.30 here, but I'm so goddamn tired.
[06:03:39] I'm gonna pass the fuck out.
[06:03:43] But yeah, but yeah, I'll be back.
[06:03:47] That'll be all for me for today, folks.
[06:03:52] I'll be back.
[06:03:53] You weren't wrong.
[06:03:53] Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
[06:03:54] You invited us on parking to be your special guest today,
[06:03:57] and now you're back trying to get all the groups
[06:03:58] he's offended or pissed that you platformed him too late.
[06:04:02] Individual members of the College of America,
[06:04:03] Congressional attendees and speakers
[06:04:05] are now official spokespeople of our organization.
[06:04:07] The person refers to the claims barring attendees
[06:04:09] in College of America as an official executive
[06:04:10] Vice President Cameron and not merely
[06:04:12] an individual member.
[06:04:13] I love that they're like,
[06:04:15] I love that the context note is just straight up,
[06:04:18] like, brigaded by Destiny's community
[06:04:20] offers no additional context that that is is against what the fucking organization is saying
[06:04:30] I like that this guy's just straight up came out and was like I'm gonna fucking go and harass
[06:04:44] this dude who's speaking at this event I wasn't invited to this event and then they were like
[06:04:49] Like hey you can't do that, we're not letting you into the event.
[06:04:52] You filmed yourself trying to harass people at the event.
[06:04:58] And he is able to somehow brigade Twitter and get like Shannon Mott's and Project Liberal
[06:05:04] and all these other like fucking annoying accounts on Twitter to make a big fuss about this.
[06:05:10] very very weird stuff.
[06:05:21] Yeah, look at this. Like, look at all the people writing in her replies too.
[06:05:27] Honestly, you're perfectly just by tanking us on IRL for statements like this.
[06:06:04] off back to the wheel mansion. They use in AI photos are you? That's not what I was wearing.
[06:06:17] I would never wear an outfit like this. Also who the fuck is this bro? Former political
[06:06:24] reporter and DNC operative now serving as CEO of Act Jew opinions are my own. Can you
[06:06:32] point out that Austin Wise is not Jared Mackie, Roach, and DGG are both pushing that. Dude,
[06:06:37] it is like, how I, here's the thing I don't understand. Like, how do we, how do we get
[06:06:43] this to stop? You know what I mean? Cause this is like, you're just straight up slandering.
[06:06:53] You're just straight up fucking, uh, slandering a random person, accusing him of like doing
[06:06:58] bomb threats and like doing criminal behavior. She's not, you know, it's not going to stop,
[06:07:17] they don't care. I mean, it's just maybe legal precautions like
[06:07:21] Like, this is, how is this in any way, shape, or form, like normal behavior?
[06:07:29] I genuinely assume that like, people are not going to be so side-cooked, they're not going
[06:07:37] to be so biased that they just like refuse to see when someone is like doing something
[06:07:41] that is worthy of a restraining order um like actively but their message alternative is so
[06:07:53] hopefully yeah they're literally cautious too now massive influence 22 year old trying
[06:07:59] to be involved and do good and they're trying to kill their will to participate especially
[06:08:02] gross and allegedly normal middle-aged people like shana watz yeah or fucking middle-aged
[06:08:06] people like sex bestie. Anyway, in my opinion, gamer gay into an IRL cop started taking online
[06:08:23] harassment seriously. Maybe we should like people who understand how to write functional
[06:08:26] anti online harassment laws? Yeah.
[06:08:42] Just intimidation event, intimidation for event organizing
[06:08:45] order to give them the second guess having you on. I mean,
[06:08:47] that's not going to stop people from having me on, you know,
[06:08:49] and I mean, it's just making you look like a fucking repulsive
[06:08:52] little loser. And it's making people that I mean, it's
[06:08:55] Showing how some people operate for for anyone with eyes to see
[06:09:00] Like you will never be treated like a serious individual after all of this if you are you know
[06:09:07] Looking at what these guys are doing they're like behaving as like a one-man gamer gate and just like defending their behavior defending their actions
[06:09:17] Anyway
[06:09:19] Yeah, this isn't just like cyber harassment either. This is like
[06:09:26] Straight-up slandering people that are associated
[06:09:29] Cyber bullying them cyber stalking me and then stalking me in real life. I mean, what are we doing?
[06:09:35] Anyway, um, very very weird behavior man, very gross and very weird behavior
[06:09:42] In any case everybody that's all I got. I'll see you tomorrow
[06:09:49] Love you all. I think that was a pretty decent speech.
[06:10:01] And I enjoyed it. Once again, thank you to College Democrats of America for having me on. That was great.
[06:10:07] And, yeah. See you tomorrow. Hopefully war has not broken out by the time I get home.
