We must never allow these fascists to take away our voice.
What's going on everybody?
I hope everyone's having a fantastic evening, afternoon, freeing in no matter where you are
on the world of my son, Parker and the stars and I'm broadcast coming to you live from sunny
California, Los Angeles. Once again, ladies and gentlemen, we're back. We're back in the
mother land. We're back in the land of the free, the home of the brave. And let me tell
you folks, it's a big day today is Sunday. We're live. We're alive. And this is part
of the broadcast where I tell you about my personal news. It is, it is Sunday, July 19th,
I'm obviously an hour late, but um, you know, if you complain about that, then you are the most spoiled community on the planet considering that I was in Washington, D.C. yesterday, okay?
Okay, considering that I was in Washington, DC yesterday,
I was supposed to actually go to the World Cup final today.
I was supposed to be traveling to New York today to go watch it,
but the people that invited me were like,
oh yeah, we actually couldn't get you a ticket.
I mean, I was like, all right, I mean, fine.
It's all good, baby.
Where's the Spanish jersey?
Oh, what do you mean? What Spanish jersey?
Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, boys, girls, and ambies were live. We're live. I am here.
I wonder if they just like wouldn't let they try to get me by Secret Service and they're
like, no, no, that's not anyway, we're alive. We're alive. And there's a lot going out in
the world. Obviously, you're going to be talking about all of that. It's Sunday, fun day. However,
And this is the part of the broadcast where I tell you about my personal news coming to you live from stolen talk the land
um a
Lot on alert as Jordanian shield begins to fail IOF fire to protect Jordanian basis for once I know
We're gonna be monitoring that don't worry. We're gonna be freaking monitoring that we're monitoring the goddamn situation all day every day
But before we get to the situation monitor
Let me start off by saying I'm very excited to be back in Los Angeles. Okay, you know, it's been a long been a long week
Obviously after I ended the broadcast last night, you might be wondering this song. What did you do?
What did you do after end of the broadcast last night and you already know the answer
It's absolutely nothing. Why is it absolutely nothing because I am a chud ass loser
Yeah, that's right. I'm a chud. I went to bed
You know your new vid with me like heroes promoted Cory Booker at the end what
Cory Booker instead of Cory Bush
Or did you think Cory Bush is Cory Booker
That's crazy chatter. Anyway, but yeah, um, yeah, we got P because on the arrangement
syndrome, literally at the worst it's ever been, uh, never, we'll never get worse than
We'll talk about that, but folks, there's actually nothing going on in my life and Kaia just went out for a walk.
So if you're wondering where Kaia is, she literally just left.
What is this? Checkmodchat chatter is right.
Oh my god, that is crazy.
Oh my god, the chatter is not wrong.
I said Cory Bush, but my editor put Cory, but one of the editors.
That is crazy, bro.
Come on.
Oh, my Lord, that is insane.
That is insane.
What are we fucking doing?
hold on I gotta fix that real quick I don't even know how we can fix that but
I'm gonna try my fucking best to fix it that's unbelievable
Okay, we'll figure it out.
It happens.
It happens.
No, it's not Austin ox.
Austin ox will not make a mistake like that.
But yeah.
Yeah.
I'm a Democrat sheepdog.
I've been outed. So, as I was saying, chat ass loser time, uh, went to bed was supposed
to wake up, was supposed to fly, uh, earlier so I could actually make the stream on time.
Uh, was what the fuck is this? I compiled and pregnancy YouTube thumbnails that cover
you directly. There are 193, but many others mentioning you are not included. Bro, this
is so crazy that it takes time to load. Okay, that's fucking hilarious. Anyway, but yeah,
shut ass loser o'clock was supposed to wake up at 4.30 and then fly out. Fly out of Baltimore
and come back to Los Angeles on time,
but the flight was pushed back.
And then I ended up getting there early regardless,
which is annoying.
And then I just spent a good deal of time
at the Bulmer Airport.
And yeah, that's it.
At least I slept on the flight though.
Even though the dude sitting next to me
had to get up and piss and I counted it six times, which like, I think after, you know,
I don't know what the flight etiquette is in that situation.
Like, what do you do?
It means it's a five hour flight, five hour flight.
And I just, I wanted to straight up be like, bro, is your prostate okay?
Like you got to, you got to get that should checked out, I think.
Because he kept waking me up. He kept waking my ass up to be like, hey man, sorry. Sorry. Sorry. And it's like, dude.
Six? Like three is fine, but double the number?
That guy should be booking aisle seats for real. Yeah, I mean, that's part of the reason why I always book aisle seats because I hate, well, one, I can't fit in the inside as well.
Cause like I can just dangle a foot out if I need to, you know what I mean?
Like there are there are a few in my chat like
Fucking probably today who are like, shouldn't you be on like Hassan's leash?
And if like I reply to that shit that everyone else in chat is like, oh
I'm like, can we just fucking do something fun? Got you. It's like I want to have fun today, bro
And you end up being like, you know
Like uh
Like a stereotypical teacher. It's like in the middle of the
what the fuck yeah Matt people harass him all the time it's really fucking
annoying why are you guys saying fuck Ludwig he's right about this it's fucking
lamest shit he's 100% right like his yeah he's mr. mogul but he's the guy he
was talking to was being mad annoying to people. Yeah. He's, he Ludwig has been, Ludwig has
been doing great work at the, at Streamers University, Streamer University. We'll talk
about that in a little bit. I've been watching, I've been watching from afar. Wardrobe is
now my favorite content creator from that entire new group of content creators. I got
a lot of thoughts on Streamer University. I'm going to tell you all about it as a 35 year
old man who happens to be one of the largest content creators on this platform, but it's
like also doing something entirely separate on this platform. I have been paying a little
bit of attention to it because it just keeps popping up. Northern line on that same sheet
is a shame, but they get hounded if they even reference you lightly. Yes, there are a lot
of psychopathic stalkers that I have that will go to every single community, wait for
like any sort of mention of me, and then we'll turn around and like bully and harass the
people. Bullying harassing people for mentioning it. It's just fine. But that's really goddamn annoying.
But what is this? Your race talked about this too. I used to do all that stuff, but
since October 7th, since like the Israel stuff, I had.
Yeah.
I want to show you joining Streamer University. You could call connect to those audiences.
Well, I mean, it's a little late for that. Don't you think this is today's the last day
of Shimmer University? Okay. We'll get to all of that personal news. I was, dude, I'm
all over the place. Do we have a blast off meme? I got personal news. Um, you stop out
using this universe base, man, shut up, shut up. Uh, you don't, you don't know what the
fuck you're talking about. But yeah, every day,
streaming university with Dr. Jod. Yes. All right. What was I
gonna do? Oh, yeah, let me just blast off real quick. But yeah,
I am here. I got off the plane, changed my, changed my fit. And
we're here. We're here. We're live. We're live streamer. You drama LA bagging LA
war is on situation monitor mission heats up college dens of america convention
uh, uh, pisses off, pisses off, right wing, Dems and more.
Yeah.
Okay.
How to cut through the controversy with Dr.
Jihad.
Yeah.
I mean, I could have done like, there's a, there's a couple of different classes.
I was thinking about this cause like, look, this has been a very busy season for me.
The fucking midterms are happening so I didn't even consider applying for Schrumer University.
I didn't even, I didn't even consider it. There's no guarantee that I would have gotten in regardless.
But I probably should have.
But I probably should have applied at least, you know, because it's cool. It's wonderful. It's
fantastic. There's a lot of fun shit going on, you know what I mean? But what I will say is this.
What I will say is this. I actually appreciate it quite a bit. I think Kai is doing a phenomenal
job. Obviously, there's like controversies and shit like that. But I mean, all those situations
are always going to be somewhat chaotic. But I think it's far more positive than it is negative.
Right? And as far as what I would do, there's a bunch of different things I could do, crisis
management, crisis PR. So you've been canceled, you know, 101. That's number one. The other one
obviously is like ethics in conduct, you know, like bare minimum basic shit, basic, basic
stuff to follow along to be a little bit more, I mean, I, this is ironic coming from me,
but like, obviously, as long as people are not talking about political issues and whatnot,
you know, basic ways to not come across like a, like a nuisance streamer and be bad politics,
101, something like that. Anyway, but regardless, regardless, um, yeah, fundraising impact, how
to make an impact with your community, things like that. But yeah, it's the midterms. I
didn't even think about it. I didn't even consider it. And then while it was happening,
I was like, well, there's, I would feel, I feel really old watching this stuff. But
But then also at the same time, I was like, this is probably a good opportunity, regardless.
But I do have a lot of thoughts on it, and I'll get to that in a little bit.
Was Wisconsin covered yesterday after the speech?
What?
I've already covered it.
of Max had been such an unexpected duo. I agree. It's been great. I mean, he's great.
Wardrobe is great. I really like him. And yeah, I'm going to talk about the Max situation
in a second. There was another US service member killed in an Iranian attack on Iraq.
The military has reported. We'll be talking about that in a second and more. Obviously,
we got like some serious news to cover as well. I know this is whiplash. I went from
Streamer University and Wardrobe and Blackboy Max, they're just like fucking to the real news that we normally cover. But, oh, Crowley reentering the Wisconsin governor's race. Yeah, I didn't watch his speech, but I did cover it. Yes.
Yes, and com fent com is giving updates. We'll be talking about that. And more.
Yeah.
Troy Jackson basically has so many delegates that even superdelegates won't matter. Troy
Jackson blowing everyone out, pause. Even with a hundred part delegates, he has it locked
up. Have you seen Odyssey? No. Evers endorsed them. The Dems are trying to ratfuck Hong.
Chatters. I think what you guys failed to consider is that the Democrats are actually,
I mean, the Democrats are trying to refloat Francesca Hong.
We'll talk about Wisconsin and the chaos that's unfolding.
But the irony is this decision is actually probably one of the worst decisions that they
could have done.
And it's really interesting that they just, I think they hate, do you wear vigs?
You can see my scalp.
Vigs?
What's a vig?
Like a wig?
Is that the new meta that I wear wigs? Is that what we're doing?
Then will you wear wigs? Oh, is that a meme? Lord of the Rings reference. Then will you
wear wigs? Okay, that's fucking, that's it. God, everyone here is like 55 years old.
fuck. Okay. Where was I? What was I talking about? Oh, we got the
Troyota obviously Troyota, Troyota Thon is taking place in
Maine. Zero percent down. Troyota Tacomas, if you want for
all. You're in an AI ad. Yeah, I saw. I saw I'm gonna weird
ass like I'm in a weird ass AI ad that like pro Israeli groups
are pumping in the top enemy, the fucking Elijah Wood meme. I don't care, man. That meme is
literally older than most people that are on this platform dog. Jesus Christ. It's literally
the meme itself is like two P.
What is this? You attack me just defending myself. What? There's nothing more insulting
I'm watching a bunch of shrooms lark. What? What the fuck is wrong with this guy?
It's a good meme though. Yeah. I'm I'm refusing to play this 28 second meme. I'm refusing it.
Okay. Um, we're here. We started. We're live. We're live. I'm fucking all over the goddamn place,
Let's do it. I'm all over the goddamn place.
Um, um, sorry.
that can drink, drive, and vote. Yeah, meme that's so old, it actually loves voting. Like
meme that is so old that it loves fucking voting. It's favorite thing is voting at this point.
Yeah, I know I'm in an AI ad. I know I'm in an AI ad. A lot happening. I'm all over the place.
My brain is mush from constantly traveling and doing things all around the country.
I have the playlist. Don't worry. We're gonna get started with all of that and more but before we do
Before we do let me blast off. Did I blast off already?
Did I blast off already? Jesus Christ, I'm a little over the fucking place. Jesus Christ, dude. I
I did. Okay. Oh my God. My brain, my brain is mush and I need coffee. I need coffee desperately.
Um, yeah. You trying to blast off twice, bro? Yes. I am. Here it is. Streamer, you drama, back in the late wars, all situation monitor, Michigan heat setup, college names, American convention, pissed off, right?
Pissed it off, right? We can have Sunday, Monday, World Cup final and more.
Definitely take it out on all my ADHD princess. No.
I'm fine. Okay. I'm fine. I just need to lock in. Okay.
And I haven't been able to, I haven't been able to lock in.
Um, is serious? No laugh. No fun. No, there's fun. We're going to do fun.
Don't worry. We have fun.
That picture was the first thing on my feed last night. It hurt my feelings. I'm sorry.
Um, yeah. Okay. Uh, starting off, starting out with streamer university. So for those
of you who don't know, kai snap does this streamer university thing. This is the second
year that he's doing it. Uh, they pick, uh, from basically hundreds of thousands of young
content creators, older content creators that want to make it in the world of streaming.
And he brings them together on a college campus, that's on break.
And then they all have their own phone cameras, they all have their camera person, then they
stream throughout the entire process, been going on for the entire week.
It's the biggest thing on this platform.
But of course, because this community is like completely removed from everything else that
happens on Twitch, you probably are kind of oblivious to it.
But, but you know, I've been, I've been watching, there's some friends that are there as teachers.
some people that I've collaborated with as like alumni that have gone there as well.
One of the teachers is Ludwig. Valkyrie is another teacher. Sin is another teacher.
Agin is another teacher. Some of these classes are actually like for memes. Some of these classes
are pretty serious, right? And basically, there's always chaos. There's always drama when you put
all of these different like major personalities together and a lot of younger people that are
They're just simply trying to make it.
Grandma's there as well.
She's a librarian.
I just love puzzles.
Grandma is also,
I just love puzzles is there.
So,
you know, that's awesome.
And it's been actually very exciting and very cool.
And I think, you know,
Kaisen has doing a phenomenal job overall, because look, these sorts of events are always
going to be chaotic. I mean, look at Shreemer, Shreemer Awards, right? Like Cutie Cinderella
puts that together. It's a one day event. It's not like an almost week long event. And
even then there's plenty of drama and plenty of chaos and controversy that takes place
whenever you bring a lot of these people together. It's going to happen regardless.
A lot of people are going to be upset that they're not invited. A lot of people are going
just try to make drama from the outside. There's going to be drama on the inside. That always
happens. You're wrangling a bunch of, yeah, you're wrangling a bunch of cloud goblins together.
It's pure chaos, especially because a big part of what they're trying to,
a big part of what they're trying to do is to fire off clips, right? They're trying to get
clips out. They're trying to go viral. This is their biggest opportunity to become famous, right?
So, it's a situation regardless, it's very difficult to control, but ultimately what
I will say is this, I think regardless of all of the negative shit that happens on
Streamer University as an old school streamer that has been doing this professionally for
For years, one of the biggest content creators on this platform, uh, for almost the, the
last, you know, almost decade or so, I will tell you this, it's fucking awesome.
Okay.
There's always going to be growing pains.
Um, part of that is because it's not like, uh, like a super professional event, but
it's not supposed to be a super professional event, but there is no one else out there
that is bringing this many new eyeballs, this many normie eyeballs.
And on top of that, platforming, younger content creators this much.
No one has the capability to do it, no one has the infrastructure to do it, no one has
the bandwidth to do it, and Kaisenat is the only person doing this.
So regardless of your own personal feelings about him, he is actually unbelievably impactful.
is actually phenomenally impactful and I think is a really, really positive figure for this
space in general. A big part of why I also feel this way is because Streamer University is fairly
diverse. The space, Twitch, was not always so diverse, right? Streamer University, on the other
hand, is unbelievably diverse. As a matter of fact, I go so far as to say it's like
an unapologetically black event as well. Okay? I know I sound like a super white guy when I say this,
but I think that's a great thing. Okay? That's a wonderful thing. That's a really,
really cool thing to see. There are a lot, there are a lot of young black content creators
that get platformed through this process. And it's a, you know, it's a really, like,
there is nothing else that I've seen that has given this much opportunity to this many young
creative black men and black women. DreamCon obviously does this as well and I love RDC as
you guys know. I've attended DreamCon and you know I really appreciate the RDC boys but overall
this like very directly this very directly will pull up and coming young
black content creators with dreams who are very creative and then allow them
an opportunity unlike ever before unlike they would ever receive to become
famous. It's crazy. It's really good. And I appreciate it. I appreciate it. Of course,
there are still going to be issues along the way. I've got a lot of culture vultures and
clout goblins and the like. And for that reason, there's of course going to be some friction.
One of those things that I saw that I really did not like. I saw the data that almost nobody knew
from last year is successful today. I just, wait, what? That's not true. There were plenty of people
that were like already on the, there were plenty of people who were, who were on the up and up
that went to Schumer University and became unbelievably successful. Are you kidding me?
Arke, Yugi, there are so many people. Yeah, Paige, you just don't know about them, Yana.
Yeah, there are, like, it's not going to be, it's not going to be like every single person
became like massive content creators. That's not how this works. It's a very top-heavy platform in
general. But there are so many content creators now that are like known figures in the space,
mid-level content creators, and even larger content creators now that have really popped
off in the process. Most people who debuted there don't have more viewers than they did before
the event, at least according to the stuff I saw. Oh, you're talking about
about your like, look, data analysis that tries to quantify something that is also qualitative
is going to be difficult. It's still a very top heavy platform.
What we got auto do the actual data. Oh, that's where you guys are coming from. Yeah, but
I don't know what the secret sauce is. I don't know what the recipe is.
I don't know the, I don't know the secret sauce or the recipe,
but I think if you're already like on the up and up,
if you're like kind of a known content creator, you do,
you do get a lot more, um,
you do get a lot more opportunities from it.
The number he's talking about is like 87% don't see the same views as they do at
Yeah, that's a, that's a silly way to look at that data. That's a, that's a wrong interpretation of that data. I don't even know if like, I don't even know if Ludwig himself was making that point. I mean, I'll look at it.
I'll look at the data and I'll give you my assessment as someone who's, you know, a little bit of a data nerd when it comes to this kind of stuff, because it's my fucking job, right? It's the other part of my job.
part of my job. But overall, I think it's a great way to establish your name. The average
viewer increase after Schumer University's four viewers, yeah, I hate stuff like that.
Data points like that are created, they're designed. Data points like that are designed
specifically to show you that most people don't make it. I could have told you that
Okay? That's not what we're looking for here. Okay? Yeah, of course, most people don't make it even when they get this opportunity.
Yeah, but averages in that situation, averages in that situation is dumb. It's a single platform analysis that's not going to give you the full scope of the information.
There's there's all these other platforms that these guys exist on as well. There's buzz around them. If they have been able to seize on that opportunity or not is a whole different story. That's not the full story though.
Unless Ludwig's point was simply attending Schremer University is not going to cause you to become successful overnight.
over night and you shouldn't take for granted all the additional views that
you're getting during the Strymer University, then that absolutely makes
sense. He's 100% right about that. Okay.
The average viewership of all the Strymer students?
Yeah, which I suspect is the point he's probably trying to make. That it
requires so much more consistency. It requires an unfathomable amount of
consistency that most people don't have, and it's what you make of this opportunity, right?
It's what you make of this opportunity that matters.
So data analysis, top-down data analysis like that is good for a broader point that he's making.
If that's the point that he's making, I agree with it. But if the point he's making is like,
oh, it doesn't actually help people, well, the reality of the matter is it does help every single
person, um, to what degree it helps every single person is obviously limited, but then
also on top of that, um, oh wait, hold on, I got to fix something while I do this. So
you guys see this, you guys see this fucking shirt and how it like gets fucked up and art
it does artifacting apparently there's a way to fix that and I got to do that real quick.
Visual artifacts.
Nick Andrews, the YouTuber, has got annoyed by my artifacting, and there's an easy way
to do it apparently.
How to fix?
Hold on, I'm going to do it real quick.
Hold on.
Okay.
Hold on. Where do we go? Scale filtering?
Langsos.
That's it.
Let's see if it worked.
Is it better? Nope, it's still happening. So I guess it didn't work. Wait, hold on. Is
Is it better?
Is it better?
I can't tell.
Do it in the other scene too.
It is better, right?
It's a little bit better.
It visibly got better.
not enough though, it seems. Okay, shout out to Nick and draws for helping with this. You
have disabled checked. Yeah, no, it's it's currently it was on disable scale filtering
was on disable, and then putting it on length sauce actually helped a little bit. I care
more about if this impacts readability of small tweets you do sometimes.
I mean, it doesn't happen here anyway, but it does happen when I'm, it doesn't happen
in this situation.
But it does happen certainly on the, when it's like tiny on the, on the corner.
Nice to, by the way, a favorite never knew it anyway here.
Let's play this.
I'm sure you 2025 is down 287 viewers.
Wow.
They have lost viewers year over year.
Wow.
Now, obviously that's outweighed by people with larger streams, okay, they have much
more of an impact.
The median streamer, all right, the median, we know what the median is, right, we slash
both ends, so you get the person in the middle, all right, the median, Marlon, are you shaking
your head, no?
No, no, no, no, zero is only again, like, all right, the median viewer, it's all you
note has gained four viewers before and after Streamer U. Okay? This is you. This is what
you will be, alright, next year after all the excitement is over, after all the clouds
happen, alright, after your viewership skyrocket, your followership skyrocket, you are going
to get four more viewers. Over half, if you got a white star, that is you. Over half of
streamers have gained single-digit viewers or lost viewers here every year.
Okay, why do we think that is? Shreem, you're supposed to be the triple-belike
time. You're supposed to have made it. You're in the big leagues. Marlena, why not?
I don't think we've come here, everybody's going to spike. Bigs, bigs, small streamers,
you leave, you got to be sure you're entertaining all of this well and try to capitalize on it.
Okay, capitalize. I like that. What else?
what he's saying but you also got to make like find ways to maintain the trajectory because it's like
this is going skyrocket you in one way or another but you if you just instantly go back to not change
anything about your content or not if you want to learn or not collab with people that you met
you just go into right back where you were. Are they ultimately? Well shit's going good
but if you were done it's really easy to spark stream all right it's really easy to post clips
when streamer you in it and they do amazing, okay?
You know what sucks?
Is doing it when you don't have a great game plan,
when you have nothing going on, all right?
So motivation is great, but we should discipline ourselves
in small things and from those,
progress the things of greater value.
This is Marcus Aurelius, okay?
He was the leader of Rome, the largest empire in the world.
He wrote himself a journal called Meditations.
It was his kind of thought,
there's never published it, publish it after he died.
It's the most powerful man on earth.
He's writing this, okay?
He has everything in front of him.
He is writing this.
So what does it mean to be disciplined versus motivated?
Okay, y'all in the motivation circle,
this one's rather, how do we get some discipline?
This is an activity.
I want you guys to all be doing this right now.
This is your homework.
If you did it, good.
If you didn't, do it now.
Pen and paper.
Pen and paper right now.
If not, you can put it in your phone right now
that is fine, but I need you to write this down later.
Anyway, um, it's it's a top-heavy platform, so it will always create top-heavy results
regardless.
That's the biggest reason.
So you'll see some people who really blow the fuck up.
It's a zero-sum game for the most part.
Okay, unless you're just like constantly bringing in newer audiences from the outside like take talk and other platforms
Which is what Kai has done which is what kazo has done, which is what jinxie did initially as well
And I think continues to do
Okay
It's a very top-heavy platform Sonny and what are you wearing?
I'm just showing my support, dude. I'm just showing my goddamn support
You see what I'm wearing these colors don't run baby you already know what it is. Okay, don't even get me started
What's the problem
I just woke up from a three month nap. Is this still a banable offense to be from
Yes. Yes, it is. Okay. Okay. As I was saying, as I was talking, as I was talking about, as I was saying, okay?
Um, he's, he like Ludwig is right that obviously you need to stay motivated. It's really difficult to stay motivated. It's really difficult to stay motivated when you don't have a lot going on, when you don't have built in content, when you don't, don't have a lot of excitement.
around you, you have to generate that buzz. One of the worst things, at least in my experience
as a streamer is when I pour my fucking heart and soul into a piece of content that I've
tried to generate buzz around and like worked really hard to put together as opposed to
my like regular shit that I do, and it never reaches the same results. It's really fucking,
really sad. One example of it is like, there's a lot of work, a lot of planning, and logistics
that go into, for example, flying out to different places, doing these speeches, things of that
nature, right? There's a lift associated with it that you don't have when you just fucking
and sit around at home, and like when I went to China, for example, but because of all
these other issues, because my audience simply wants me to do news, because my audience doesn't
want any IRL content, like people just don't watch.
It sucks.
It's discouraging.
I obviously am super stubborn, so I will do it regardless.
but that kind of stuff is super discouraging. Anyway, so you just got to push through it.
But ultimately, ultimately, I'm not, you know, giving streamer advice or whatever. I was
I was just going to talk about Shreemer University in general and then we got into, and then
we got into like silly shit.
Oh, here.
This is what I was going to talk about.
So Blackboy Max, you know, he's doing his own thing.
Love the guy.
As you guys know, he's great.
You've probably seen him on the stream before.
know, I beat him in basketball before it's not a big deal. But basically he's like, a lot of people
have been kind of clowning on him because you got like a diva tattoo and they're saying he's like
zesty, you know, regular like teenager memes for the most part from people who are just like not
very comfortable with their own sexuality. So when they see someone express themselves in a way,
When they see someone express themselves in a way that doesn't fit like regular stereotypes,
gender stereotypes, gender norm, sexuality norms, they oftentimes people who are insecure
will push back.
And that's precisely what happened.
There's this guy who is a TikToker, OJ Suave, okay?
He's like a fashion TikToker, which makes this situation extra strange.
And and OJ Swahway, Swahvay, why are you defending this? Defending what? You don't even know what I'm about to say. Shut your bitch ass up and take a goddamn week off, dumb fuck. What do you mean defending this?
You think I'm gonna fucking not call out people being weirdly homophobic? Are you stupid? Taz Kid Noah? You've been in here for 42 fucking months.
Hello? Is this your first encounter with me talking about shit like this? This is in my fucking wheelhouse, okay?
Anyway, so Max has, so at Shreemer University, for those of you who don't know, for Shreemer University, everyone is like staying with a content creator, right?
like most people are staying in rooms and black boy max is in, uh, is, is, uh,
rooming up with this kid named wardrobe. He's a 17 years old. Uh, he's actually phenomenal. Um,
very funny, very funny content creator. Um, I believe he's gay. I don't want to assume, but
you know, I, he is right.
Is wardrobe not gay? Okay, he is gay. Okay. I mean, he's awesome. So, and it's been very
wholesome like seeing them collab with one another. Plaggboy Max has always been like
very far more open-minded than a lot of people his age would be, right? A lot more open-minded.
about that sort of stuff. And they've made great content together, right? They've made
great content together. It's like very funny. It's, it's, uh, you know, funny seeing their
interactions with one another, you know, it's great. It's, it's great. It's encouraging.
It's open-mindedness. It's more of what we need in this space. But this guy apparently
Did not really appreciate that and he had some choice words for it here. I'll give you a little taste of this dog
I'm sorry, but this gay guy right here. So fucking funny. He's wiping the tears off his glasses. Let me see this
What building are you in a Miller building Miller? Okay. Who's doing it?
That's my boy man. Oh, no, like no we cool. He just keep kind of
You want to do shit together like no, I don't want to eat with you
I don't want to like girl. No, I have chair practice. I told him he's like no no come on
And they all got to get a slushie because he said get a slushie.
So I had to get a slushie with him.
And then he probably weighed in and I was like, you know, no, this is wardrobe.
This is black boy max's roommate.
And then he leaves in the room at the dirty.
There's no way a chair should be on the floor.
It ain't no way.
Like it's ridiculous.
You know, like I'm trying to give them space, you know, the color right now.
And all the wardrobe right now, he's crying.
Like he's, you know, he's blue.
He's wiping the tears off of his glasses.
Anyway, this was in the beginning
so
He is
He's hilarious. Okay. He's fucking hilarious. I always want to say this when it's easy to defend pipeway match
Let's be a reflection of the things LGBTQ community feel and have to deal with every day with the without the support of nobody in the room
Or the internet. I mean, that's crazy to say that here for the record
Because
This is the one community where we do that all the time and I I have a broader opinion on this
in general, but you're right. You're absolutely right. A lot of people, I think, feel
like this is part of the reason why it's difficult to come out. It's part of the reason why it's like
even in 2026, things like Gay Pride do matter if I'm going to take off my faux hat for a second.
Because I know we do irony here. I joke around a lot, but the reality of the matter is this is a
safe community and the rest of the internet and the rest of the real world is simply still
objectively unsafe. Okay, is this clip a bit or is he serious? Yeah, this is a bit chatter.
Shut the fuck up. Jesus Christ. This clip on the other hand is not a bit.
Anyway, I think I'm sufficiently giving you a backstory of Blackboy Max and Wardrobe,
just so you guys understand. So, Plackboy Max has been getting, you know, some, Plackboy
Max has been getting yelled at a little bit on the internet. People say he's like zesty,
he's gay, all this stuff because he's expressing himself in a way that is, you know, not the
norm, right? Like there's this expectation. There's this gender expectation. There's this
expectation of your sexuality. Oh, you're a cisgender heterosexual guy. You're supposed
address a certain way, you're not supposed to do certain things. It's very, it's very restrictive.
And not only is it very restrictive, but it's very insecure. This play, this comes from a place
of insecurity for those who, for those of you who don't realize like, especially amongst the youth,
But this kind of stuff still very much persists, right?
Like there is definitely this weird, there's definitely like this weird restrictive attitude
from weirdos who are uncomfortable with their own sexuality and want to make it everybody
else's problem in my opinion.
Also here, here's a cute clip from Blackboy Max watching wardrobe and sporting wardrobe
during cheer practice or the talent show, not cheer practice, sorry.
So this guy, this streamer, OJ, he comes up to plaque boy max and he starts talking to him about that was the talent show. I apologize. Okay.
I don't know all the details. Give me a break. Okay.
And, and for, for those of you who don't know plaque boy max, if you don't know, he's, he's, you know, an artist and producer. He has a lot of other musicians on and he does these collab streams with them and stuff.
stuff and also on top of that he's like you know as a guy he's like a little bit he's on his prince
vibe right now okay he's on his prince shit he's he's you know doing the prince thing a little bit
okay Grammy nominated for the record so let's see what this conversation looks like now
You need to sit down in the holy oil.
You need to go get a church bag and cleanse your body.
I think you are confused.
I think you need some guidance.
I think your parents feel a little weird about that.
I think you're clipped in and you're getting clipped.
You pushing the persona.
You're small.
You loyal.
I don't know what you're doing.
You know what you're doing.
You've been like this.
But you are not a diva.
Diva's been over. I don't think you've been over
You're not the little boys in clover. You're not totem. You're not a diva. You are a grown man
Black boy Max
Like look at look at his initial reaction of excitement because he's like, oh, I know this dude whatever
to to like
Who are either these people? Okay, man subscribe and fucking rewind. Okay
Subscribe to the goddamn broadcast if you want to fucking hear me explain it this this ain't Google
Okay, some of y'all have grown far too comfortable
Asking these goddamn questions
You think I didn't already spend the last 35 minutes explaining the backstory
Jesus fucking Christ man literally as soon as I got done with the explain the motherfuckers come in and go hey
Run it back for me right now
I
Holy shit
Full clips gives more context dog. This literally is the full clip. There's even longer is a seven minute one now. Jesus fucking christ
Yeah, he basically gets plaque boy max ends of 24 seven stream after berating ramp from OJ Swallow a calling him a
Sella over recently expressing himself and getting a diva tattoo
He's like a fashion, he's like a fashion guy, he's like a fashion TikToker. I think he's
like live streaming now. And then he starts giving him, and then he starts ripping into
He's like you're not a diva you're a grown man. You don't bend over all this shit, right? So he's just being homophobic
What is this dude? I ain't gonna lie. You're a complete sick to your chat
You're a complete sick to your chest sometimes if you can't rewind or don't know how and they're just finding you and they're doing that
Isn't a good look just saying okay, man. It's okay
I'm sorry. I can't do customer service 24-7 man. Can we fucking lock in please?
I know I know the environment and the medium requires interaction all the time
But like there's 22,745 other people in here and most of them already got the context because they were watching ahead of time
Is crazy I'm like I think people develop this expectation that it's gonna be customer service time
It's customer service o'clock
All the time
What's up, buddy?
What's Diva?
Hey, hey, hey.
What the fuck are they here?
That is abomination, Max.
Yeah, he says it's abomination.
He says you're not Diva.
He says all this shit.
Sorry, I'll play it from here.
I'm not proud of you.
I'm not proud of you.
I'm not proud of you.
I'm not proud of you.
I'm not proud of you.
changing the game changing your skin to bucky diva diva start with D DD what
else you know it's like this max you know I could speak like this because
after the cooks go up and they don't like me I don't use social media no more
so I can be a cracker for life when you keep pushing that barrier max when you
keep pushing that barrier and time passes what happens what next I'm
misunderstanding. He's the rise of the diva title. No, no, he's just straight up fucking telling him
like you're stop. Basically he's saying, stop with this gay shit. You're not gay. Gay people are
ditty. Okay. That's what he's saying. But I will say this homophobia in the big 2026.
But I will say this, the response from the community has actually been quite positive.
everybody fucking clowned on this dude everybody was like bro stay in your own fucking lane
what the fuck are you doing like a lot of people were clowning on him for being like says you
motherfucker you you're a fashion guy like you're flamboyant as hell you've been clowned on in the
pass for getting your nails done with like a French tip or whatever.
So it has been kind of, it's, it's been, it turned this like negative situation into a
positive situation. It is also kind of funny that this community doesn't understand what
the conversation is about because the dude is, you know, dressed this way. So they're
like, wait, what does he mean? The diva title is something you can only, you know, choose
to achieve for the right like you seek to
seek to to arrive at for the rest of your life no it's not like
it's not a gay dude telling him the diva title is too difficult to achieve how dare you call yourself
diva okay no this is not this is a this is a person who is a being super fucking homophobic
what's the next engagement what's the next clip
He's saying you're being he's saying that you're doing you're doing this like demonic gay shit just so you can
Just so you can farm clicks
You know you the first you the first you the first person that ever sub me up as a bitch
you mentioned it. You don't know how much I appreciate you, but you bigger than that.
Don't forget, for your personality, you're crazy. You need to put on a persona.
You broke through with music. Is it crazy? It doesn't suck my life.
What is this? Important for Chad to understand because I'm seeing too much of this. This is
nothing about the black community. The Caribbean community as a whole is just regular homophobia.
You don't need to try to rationalize it by attaching generalizations like that just aren't
true. Yes, I say this is a Caribbean person. Yeah, that's also, that's also another part of this,
because like most of the people that clowned on him in his immediate vicinity are also, I mean,
there, there's like his, his roommate is wardrobe. We just showed you like, and his roommate wardrobe
also fucking defended Max as well. And like, I criticized them too. And wardrobe is 17. This
dude is old as hell. I don't know. I think he might even be older than me in his old ass age.
Ankh is out here fucking talking mad shit weirdly enough doing
Old-school homophobia for no reason
When he got called out later he said it was a Caribbean joke. Yeah, that's bullshit. It's bullshit
Yeah, and then basically
He's 25 oh shit, I thought he was I thought he was old anyway
It's not the point anyway, so yeah after the after all that
He made our boy tear up.
Um, um, how many am I serving?
Uh.
He was on, he had done like 24 hour streams before this.
I don't know what I'm telling you.
I don't, I don't want to just tell you.
I have been serving this whole time.
And they had a lot of fun, you know, people just really just,
for who I am, honestly, the whole time.
So it's just felt like them.
I felt like I enjoyed it.
But for the reason I turned the camera back on,
I wanted to be verbal.
That's why I started doing this.
It's because of the stringing ability.
I felt like, all right, string me.
Give me the ability to do that, you know.
That's why I'm under the first place. I feel like I've always been able to be me. Even if
they do don't feel you or like viewers and fans. It's day,
like a day. How do I explain it? Hate on me or don't feel me? That's cool. Because I can't.
Look, I'm gonna give you a broader top-down approach to all this. Okay. I mean, it's really fucked up
And I'm glad that he was honest with his audience like he was vulnerable
He was honest with his audience
He explains like what he's going through as far as like being able to express yourself in a creative way in a different way
And then getting that kind of pushback is really goddamn annoying
It's straightforward bullying and let's be real, and many respects, it's also very homophobic.
Max isn't, as far as I know, I don't think he's gay. But regardless, you don't have to be gated,
be victim to homophobia in general. But one of the things that I'm really frustrated by,
Because Shreemer University, overall, very positive. I want to put that out there one more time. Overall, great. There's situations like this that happen, but
it's overall a very good experience, very positive experience. A lot of new content creators get the
notoriety for the first time ever. They get the looks that they never would, right?
Okay. This is not just a problem for Schumer University. This is not just a problem that
exists in the W community or whatever. Just so you guys understand, this is a broader issue on
the platform and it's a broader issue on the internet. Most people in our sphere, they lean into
metas, okay? If something is
considered appropriate to do, if
something is like an easy joke to
fire off, people will be careless
and people will be thoughtless
without recognizing what they're
saying and doing because they just
want that clip. And basically what
ended up happening is it became
trendy, as it always was, right?
But it became extra trendy to just
like clown on max for his his diva tattoo and just do like gay jokes, right? And amongst
friends, it can be it can be fine. Obviously, there's a fine line, right? Like it's there's
context to it. There's nuance to it. But that clearly pushed way past that point. And I
assume that if you're getting inundated with this kind of commentary all the fucking time
it weighs on you, right? It weighs on you. It just like starts being unbelievably fucking
annoying that like every interaction that you're having, especially, especially with
like people that you don't really know. This is, you know, this is a chaotic environment
where like everyone is kind of the knives are out almost, or everyone's just kind of
trying to fire off a clip off of your name off of your reputation. Everyone's just trying
to fucking maybe clown on you or respect you, right? And Black Boy Max at this point is
a large content creator in this space. He's no longer like a new conspirator, the new
generation coming in. And if every interaction is that he's having or most interactions that
he's having end up revolving around, sorry, I don't know why I went there. If every interaction
he's having is clouded by this, you know, this negative experience where people are
just trying to call him gay or like bullying or something like that.
It's going to weigh on you. And it did.
And it's clear that it was weighing on him. And it's totally fucked up and totally unacceptable.
And we, as a community and as people who are on Twitch, as people who are on this platform,
also play into that a little bit, I think. But the space in general has shifted more and more to
the right. And I've noticed this for, you know, because of what I do, I've noticed this in general,
like it didn't, there was a, there was a period during peak woke. There was a period during peak
woke where like there was a lot of social pushback and a lot of pressure from other content creators
that if you did something like this, people will say that's not acceptable. Okay. And I think
over the last couple of years, Elon Musk purchasing Twitter, Twitter becoming a right-wing
shithole, Twitter's right-wing attitudes seeping into every other website, every other platform,
Reddit, and certainly Twitch, Kick, and its malignant and odious influence on streaming
in general has made it so that a lot of people are seeking out the bottom of the barrel content.
A lot of people are behaving like nuisance streamers and a lot of people are,
are pushing those boundaries and making this a less safe space.
Okay, a less safe space overall for people who don't fit in to gender norms for gay people,
for trans people, certainly, and I've obviously noticed this trend line from where I'm standing,
given that this is a community that covers mostly social issues and political issues.
But I think a part of that is because it's just gotten normalized.
Like more and more right-wing and reactionary content gets normalized.
This isn't to say that like jokes are unacceptable or whatever.
I love cracking jokes.
I make jokes myself.
You know, I do ironic homophobia all the fucking time.
It's like a big part of what I do is I tell people I'm a LGBT foe, right?
there's context and there's nuance. Like, this is a safe space, right? This is a
space where that kind of stuff, what just happened to Max would never happen, right?
Like, that's the difference. Like, this is a very gay friendly, very queer friendly
community, perhaps maybe the most queer friendly community on this platform,
especially at this size. So, you're also telling people you're boning Mitch McConnell?
Yeah, exactly. Obviously. Because I'm, you know, you want to know why? Because I'm fucking comfortable
with my sexuality. That's the, that's where, that's where a lot of this comes from. A lot
of these people are not. Yeah, I don't have, I don't mind being written up in the fucking Atlantic
or Huffington Post being like, I'm actually having gay sex or as I like to call it, sex
with Senator Mitch McConnell, 84, Kentucky. Okay. That's the difference.
That's the difference. That's the context. That's the nuance, right? Whereas there are places where
people aren't being ironic. There are plenty of people who aren't comfortable, especially young
people who are still not very comfortable with their own expressions of sexuality, expressions of
Gender and then this kind of stuff happens speaking of which by the way, Mitch McConnell still hasn't denied
Still haven't heard from Mitch just pointing that out there. There's a totally separate issue. Oh, yeah
Anyway
like I don't know that but on my own platform is like if you really thought
that way why would you say on the street yeah you don't care about the
region will know it go around yeah yeah I'm gonna be a little weird about my
I don't give a f*** what's wrong with being gay?
There's nothing wrong with that f***ing girl.
Y'all should be quiet.
You're a corny.
And you just think how the next big thing.
Don't have your own mind for all that f***ing whack.
But I'ma be myself regardless.
Funny how this f***ing woman.
Don't care.
You might think that because you're close minded.
But it's one love, bro.
It's one love.
It's one love, bro.
It don't matter if you're gay or not, they straight.
It don't matter, bro.
I only just love each other, bro.
I mean, it's not even, I don't think that's a conversation that you need to have with
him at all.
I don't think he should be saying those things at all for the record.
Like even in this moment where he's like calling OJ out, he's like, why didn't you have this
conversation with off camera?
Like, like that's still, that's still indicative of the fact that, that's still indicative of
the fact that like that's a valid conversation to even be having it all.
It's not right.
Yeah.
He doesn't have that right to tell you anything like that.
He's been a fucking weirdo off camera, on camera, on camera,
makes it far worse, of course.
But yeah, he's just fucking being a goddamn weirdo.
It was none of his goddamn business.
You know, you do whatever the fuck you want to do, man.
It's cool.
I'll let y'all bro.
Good office.
I just want me to go chill.
All right.
I lay out but remember this always always be yourself. What they say, okay? I'm gonna wear my wicks. I don't give a f**k. I give it time
I'm keeping forever. This is what I am
They won't fly from my own as me
So always be yourself embrace will make it different because that's what you pop. All right. I lay out bro
I'm out of here. This is amazing. I'll probably go out of the corner, but I'm not trying to party
with you just
It's cool. Yeah, I think his point is the OG didn't say any that out of genuine care for Mac. He was just a clip farming
Yeah, also, it's not a valid conversation
Even if you're a fuck of family member is not a valid conversation to have this is a conversation that many
Many young gay men many young queer people have to have what their fucking family is goddamn annoying conversation to have with a loved one
It is important for them to be more understanding and and and be more accepting regardless
right? That's my point. My point is if you are, are, you know, watching this unfold,
one, it's none of your fucking business. And two, it's, it's completely unacceptable to be
like, I don't really appreciate what you're doing. Like, what the fuck are you? Anyway,
it's, uh, is really, it pisses me off. It really pissed me off seeing this shit. Uh, I, I, but there
is a positive ending to it, I guess, which is that the community did actually immediately
kick in and they, they, they checked them, right? I mean, here's a, I said, what is this
shut ass nonsense, man, take that shit to kick. But there were a lot more people who actually
talked about it. Uh, where is the, there's a clip from, I want to see the wardrobe clip
because wardrobe found out about it. Again, I'm going to, I'm going to repeat this one
more time wardrobe is 17 years old okay this guy is 17 years old he is half my
age bro half my motherfucking age
know why you trying to be funny or something talk shit about next like he
didn't do nothing he say something to you directly well wait did he say something
to you you went up to him exactly so you bullied him first right I have so much
I have so much respect for this dude
Little dude popped off, okay
17 years old surrounded by all these other people that he doesn't really know he's going up to a person who's like, you know
Almost twice his age straight up confronting him immediately after
This dude is a legend, okay
Oh, he says some shit about you first, and it would be a problem though, right?
Okay, I'm gonna have a conversation here, or you're gonna walk to me and walk away because I'm a person with multiple perspectives.
Okay, there could be multiple perspectives, but you still don't disrespect somebody like that. At the end of the day, that's still highly rude.
If you got a problem, keep it to yourself, boo. If you don't respect nobody, then you don't get respect for yourself.
I'm no, but I'm put up. I'm not done.
Oh, clock, the clock.
Ah!
Ah!
King!
Oh my God.
Oh, amazing.
Please.
Okay, exactly.
You talk about some idea, boop, boop, boop, boop.
You don't want it, okay?
Okay, okay.
Okay, second of all.
So I just wanna-
No, hey, hey, I'm not done.
I'm not done.
No, I can put the cameras down.
No, no, no, no.
I could put the cameras down.
No, no, but I don't want to have a conversation with Max.
Max walked away from me.
He walks away from you because he felt uncomfortable with you,
obviously.
You coming up there, pressing him.
OK, you're human being, bullying other human beings.
Over somebody that didn't do nothing.
He's going to the club.
What the fuck do the club got to do with him?
Doing this and that, doing this and that?
No, it's not.
No.
Oh, what do you perceive it as?
No, what do you perceive it as?
What do you perceive it as?
I'm in the middle of talking.
Keep interrupting me.
Actually, go ahead.
Talk.
OK, so one.
I had a conversation with Max, Max walked away at Max foot felt away.
I've been your Max.
That's one of the first teamers I knew.
I feel like as a person to a person, if you feel away about something,
you enlighten you, you don't walk away.
Everybody talks about streaming, streaming, streaming.
This when I have when I'm talking to somebody, I'm just talking to them.
I'm talking to you right now.
You're looking back in your tracks.
Yeah, I am.
Because I don't listen to anything you say.
I'm not listening to.
So I mean, this this is fucking amazing.
Okay. This is amazing. He's amazing. What can you say? Absolutely cooking his ass.
I'm not listening to anything you say. I really don't. I really don't give a fuck because
he's still disrespecting somebody either way. You're letting that what you are.
Look, I don't know the other dude. I don't know OJ. I don't know Wardrobe. I've only seen
clips of wardrobe. Okay. All I'm going to say is this, all right? I don't know what his background
is. I don't know what his perspective is. I've only learned about it. Basically out the clips
that I've seen, obviously, like a lot of people are saying, like, can't believe this is, he's calling
us someone else a diva. Like the fact that he's also like the little bit of information that I
got about OJ, it makes me think that this is literally the reason why he was doing this,
the Pac-Boy Max because he probably has yelled at a lot and he gets called gay a lot and that makes
him insecure about expressing himself a certain type of way. So it's like, it's projection.
It's pure projection, right? It's insecurity and it's projection.
like there's no I just don't understand what the what the whole what the deal is here like you're
a lot of this comes down to insecurity okay that's it I know people are going to use sociological
terms. You're going to say, this is male fragility. This is queerphobia. You know what it is? It's
insecurity. Okay? It's insecurity. That's all it is. You feel vulnerable. Other people have
bullied you in some ways for, you know, putting yourself out there and experimenting with the
way that you look. And then you take that insecurity and then you try to fucking make other people
feel small. The appropriate thing to do in that situation is not to bully others because
you got bullied. The appropriate thing to do is stand up on your own, stand up for yourself,
stand up for who you are and what you want to do, okay? That's it. That's what it fucking
comes down to. I really, really appreciate what the wardrobe did here too because it
shows that he is secure in himself. That's the difference. That is the major difference
here. He is very secure in himself. This takes a lot, man. It really takes a lot, especially
because like most of these spaces are, there's nascent homophobia in, you know, most of these
different spaces. It's not indicative of the individuals that comprise this universe, this
little corner of the internet that we're in. But there is that attitude all the time. And for him
to, you know, especially do this at the age of 17, he has to be unbelievably confident,
unbelievably confident in himself. So I really, really respect it.
And the same goes for Max, too, same goes for Max as well, to be vulnerable like that in front of his own audience to be like, look, I'm, I didn't, I didn't appreciate that experience at all to come out and be able to say that knowing full well that there are always still going to be people who respond like they're fucking chuds.
Well, yeah. Yeah, Plackboy Max is young too. These guys are all very young. And if you're
out there and you're watching this stuff unfold and it reminds you of your own personal experiences,
okay? It reminds you of your, your own upbringing, your own development, maybe a friend that did
the same thing to you, maybe a family member that had a conversation with you because of
the way you express yourself or the way you feel, just remember, okay, it gets better.
Okay, it always gets better.
You will find your community, you will find a space where you belong and that it is totally
fucking unacceptable and most normal people in the real world understand that, okay?
Most people, they don't give a shit about this stuff.
I know it feels like, especially when you're on the internet,
especially when this kind of stuff is left unchecked,
it kind of feels like the environment is very hostile
and that everyone around you feels the exact same way.
That's not the case, okay?
That's not the case.
It's not the case at all.
Most normal people, most good people
understand right from wrong.
There are obviously always gonna be people
to social conditioning, due to their own vulnerabilities, their own insecurities,
that will then turn around and try to compound on that hatred and make others feel small as well.
So just remember, it's their behavior, it's their own insecurities that is causing them
to project this way. So I know it's tough, especially if you're on the receiving end
in the moment, but that's number one. And number two, the overwhelming majority of people are kind
people, good people, and they don't have these sorts of feelings. Okay, they don't harbor this kind
of fucking resentment. I know it sounds, especially if you're going through it in that moment, or if
you watch something like this unfold, and then, and then you are reminded of your own personal
experiences that you've had in your life, but it gets better. Okay? It always gets better.
Just remember, it's self-report, it's projection, it's their insecurity. Okay?
What a dumb argument Hassan, this feeling would not be there if most people gave a
shit. Bullying only exists because everyone allows it to happen with zero consequences.
So, no, most people are not good. Well, that's really interesting because I'm literally showing you
overwhelming support for people who actually called him out and and the community
that that uh he's a part of checking him for this behavior we're watching people stand up to him
also it's kind of funny that you're in this community of all fucking communities for 28
months and you have this kind of cynical attitude this is one of the largest communities on the
the fucking website on this goddamn platform. And it's one where that kind of behavior is
never allowed, is never considered appropriate. So it's kind of strange for you to have this
kind of cynical opinion when you're surrounded by like-minded individuals, well not like-minded
on this issue, but surrounded by individuals who obviously do see right from wrong. So
So it's very odd for you to have this kind of doomer cynicism.
Let's see. First of all, number one. Get out your hands.
You mean human. All humans deserve respect. You got the little ass best one. You doing the most.
Okay, so. Okay, but I'll ask you a question and I'm telling you to apologize or don't apologize.
Apologize or don't apologize. Apologize or don't apologize. Apologize or don't apologize. We are in a...
Apologize. Look, look. His response, his response immediately is to say,
you're faking it for camera. Meanwhile, what he's doing is actually faking it for camera.
What he's doing is wearing a mask, okay? That's another case of projection.
I've seen it so many fucking times. I see it in my comment section. I see it on the internet
broadly, especially on fucking Twitter. This kind of behavior, again, comes from vulnerability
and comes from insecurity. He's the one who's actually putting on a fucking mask.
I'd go so far say even the the outward homophobia he's demonstrating towards max and even in this
circumstance a little bit is actually partially real right partially real partially due to social
conditioning but it's also partially just his own vulnerability so he's like projecting again he's
like oh you're faking it you're confronting me you're not being real you're only confronting me
and faking it for the cameras we wouldn't be having this conversation if it wasn't for the cameras
No, I think the very fact that he's doing it on in front of the cameras is good because the incident happened on camera.
So it's important for other people in this space in this community to understand that this kind of behavior is fucking unacceptable.
Okay.
And and not only that, but it's you know, he's it's very clear that he's coming at it from a real sp- a real place.
But yeah.
This is a, this is a microcosm of, of, of like normalized bigotry that we see all over
the place.
I mean, there was another guy, and humbled OJ after he came at Black Boy Max yesterday.
Here, let's watch this.
I thought, I, because Max publicly posted his tattoo, he was okay with, with whatever
opinion.
See, this is where everybody comes from, you know, so it's a difference from the, from
the public and the reflect.
Anyway, but then look at this shit look the only people who have problem with our gays
Twitter members who act like they care for the brand emotional grown man what he said
The maximum snap out of it until it gets worse gay people never understand this and that's why they're attacking oj grown-ass man crying
So fucking commonplace on the goddamn internet man, this is part of the reason why these conversations have to be public
Okay, this is part of the reason why these conversations have to be motherfucking public
Because there are a lot of dumb fucks out there who through this environment of silence
If there's no pushback whatsoever for this kind of fucking behavior
We'll think that this kind of this kind of bigotry is totally cool and totally normal
I've been saying this for fucking my entire career and certainly for the last three years
We experienced this in this space all the time as mongold is an
unbelievably hateful person right and because most people in this sphere are too afraid to call him out
Even if they don't actually agree with what he's doing, right a lot of people in this community and also
outside of his community, think that sort of behavior is actually sweet.
Think that sort of behavior is actually totally appropriate.
Think those kinds of ideals are totally appropriate. It's okay to be bigoted.
It's okay to be reactionary. It's not okay. Okay? That's it.
It's not okay at all.
This is why it's important for the community to self-regulate a little bit,
because if nobody says anything, okay, people are too fearful to call it out.
If people are too fearful to just like push back because it's the meta,
the understanding for those at home watching is, oh, this kind of joke, these kinds of jokes are
totally fine. Okay, what Kami says, thank you for the 50 gift subs. These kinds of jokes are totally
fine. And it's not just homophobia. This extends to everything. It's like, you know, behavior like
Asmongold running around and fucking saying Somalis are parasitic and they need to be excised by
force from the nation's boundaries that we should be hunting down immigrants in this country.
Like that is Nazi shit. Okay. But because there are very few places on this, on this platform,
there are very few spaces on this platform where people actually push back and most of the other
communities are too afraid to call it out, even if they have an opinion on it.
A lot of people think it's okay to say stuff like that. It's not okay.
Hey, he called you an invasive species just fucking yesterday. Yeah, he's a nasty little freak. Nobody gives a shit
You know, I obviously I'll continue pushing back
Yeah, I love that they're they're showing people defending max some kids might some kids watching might not have seen that before from someone in
Their life and this gives them a way to relate and know that they've what they've experienced is wrong exactly
Exactly
That's why it's good. That's why it's fucking good that this kind of stuff is happening
and I sent that show support towards black boy max after he started crying on stream
saying he didn't appreciate oj disrespecting him on a like that i'm five star we're supposed
to be coming together max spark that stream he said
As soon as I start leaving, I see next, I'm crying, people making fun of other people.
I don't like that. They don't like that. I'm five-star nigga. I'm five-star. I don't like that.
Because this is university. We all both becoming together.
Yeah, he's right about that too. It's like, dude,
he's right about that too. This is supposed to be a safe space, a space for fun, people getting
together, people interacting with one another, growing a community. And then behavior like that
is totally unacceptable, okay? Behavior like that is totally unacceptable. This is part of
the reason why there is a fucking terms of service by the way, I know that for the longest
time people were like, oh, why do we have the terms of service? Oh, you're, you're stopping
me from being real. You're stopping me from being real. Oh, you're doing this just to
be brand friendly. And perhaps, perhaps people are doing it just to be fucking brand friendly,
but I don't give a shit. Okay. Back in the day, brands did, brands, they have this kind
a standard that they would apply, and it made the space more habitable for gay people, for
women, for trans people.
We have to stop normalizing bigotry, man.
It's fucking annoying, because a lot of young people see that shit, and they also want to
fit in, right?
A lot of young people see this stuff, they want to fit in, and they think this kind of
behavior is the easiest route to, to, this kind of behavior is the easiest route to generate
clicks. This kind of behavior is the easiest way to make a quick joke. And, and I think
a lot of people don't realize that like wanting to fit in is a huge part of how people develop
their personality and how people develop their politics. Okay. That's part of the reason
I've always tried to make a community of this size that that recognizes right from wrong
and actually here max is live we'll watch him uh address it too but
like first couple days like bro just yeah yeah you've been fun as fuck you know what i'm saying
that ass
yo five star
I think that everyone's voice is gone is so fun on the on the on the grass.
He was racing girls and he was on a what the fuck that is doing on a chat.
Maybe I managed it as you ended.
Uh, yeah, by the way, the irony of people discovering real time where people that go
to college or university end up woke is not because the brainwashing is because you associate
with others with different backgrounds.
You're socialized properly engaged in society in a healthy way.
Exactly.
Also, we're inventing terms of service from first principles here.
This is also part of the reason why you have to be like, this is inappropriate, this is
inappropriate.
Like you have to do pushback.
You have to have some fucking rules and standards of engagement.
Because if not, most people are going to lean in their fucking reactionary attitudes, thinking
that that is like the easiest route to make jokes.
Okay?
That's what's so funny about this is like, this is why some rules have to fucking exist
than because motherfuckers don't know how to behave.
Oh, I came to the university and everyone here kind of was just like nice to me.
For the record, you're not real.
You're not real if you fucking behave that way.
Okay.
A lot of people on the internet especially have substituted a lot of people on the internet
have substituted leaning into their base desires, their vulnerabilities, their insecurities,
bully others as like, being real. You're not real motherfucker, you're actually the most
fake when you do that. Okay? When you're, when you're just like bullying someone else
when you're like, oh, coated with this gay shit, it's demonic. You're not being a real
one. You're not having real talk. You're fake as fuck. You're so fake that you're fake to
yourself. Okay? You're fake.
He doesn't know how Twitch works.
No meme.
Wait, what?
What are you guys talking about?
What the fuck is wrong?
What happened?
Why are you guys bullying me for my age?
Like my character got attacked and.
Couple things.
One thing I'm going to tell you is that.
At the end of the day, bro, nobody knows you like you know yourself.
Remember that always no one knows you like you know yourself.
So I'm a person who's very emotional. I'm a very emotional person.
This is me being honest and real and I kind of had emotional rollercoaster day where I'm just like at this hot point, just having fun.
And it's just like the ambrite usually kicked me to the bottom, bro, and just kept on me and how you feel about me. The things I do, you don't have to agree with them. I don't ask you. I don't ask anybody to agree to with them, but I just want you to respect me as a person and let me be because at the end of the day, bro.
I have left every single person on this planet.
Why?
Because we're all human.
So regardless of what you do in your life, your opinions, your thoughts, your mind, how you choose to represent yourself and portray yourself, that's on you.
I'm going to love you because God put us all here to serve him.
And to love each other and promise social media, which I've told you how many times if you watch my streams is that.
it makes us hate each other. Why? Because we are competing with each other.
Why the fuck do I know what Sally's doing in Wisconsin on a random Tuesday? That was never
a thing before social media. So it's like what I try to push is, is one love. Let's all love each
other. Let's be a little less judgmental and appreciate what makes each other different.
That's the only way this world will come together and become a better place, right?
So when someone comes up to me and talks to me like that
and tells me I'm a devil, I'm a demon and compares me to the likes of duty.
It says my parents are proud of me and all this to get a clip off of me.
The thing that's mad annoying about this shit is also like because like
like
Diddy isn't bad because he's bisexual, he's bad because he's a rapist, bro.
Like what the fuck is wrong with people?
I like that's a substitute for, like, Diddy's behavior.
It became a catch-all term for just being gay, doing gay shit.
Like what the fuck's wrong with people, man?
No, it's because he, you know, abused people, okay?
That's what's wrong about Diddy.
girls out there who dress like Tom Boyish. If that's their style, they might be straight,
they might like guys, but they still dress like Tom Boyish. There's no problem. What's wrong
when you run away having to do your type or wearing jacket's emotional. If that's my style,
that's my style. I feel like that's just not your business friend. That's how I choose to portray
myself. Why kick me down and compare me to somebody who has harassed and harmed people in the real
world when all I do is spread love, positivity. And if you cared about me, why are you doing
that in front of hundreds of thousands of people?
But yeah, it's good to see support. Like it's good to see someone putting themselves out
there like this and then also receiving, you know, support from the community in general.
That's good.
Care about likes, views, more than my well-being. So do not portray as you are trying to help
save me when you are just trying to boost yourself. And for that reason, I know you
told Kai you feel bad and you want to talk to me but you don't feel bad. I don't believe
you feel bad. I don't want to have a conversation with you because if you didn't get this backlash,
you wouldn't feel bad. If the comments were like most of any comments to any other video
talking about me, which is, yeah, this Max Niggat, he's on the loose and he pushing
and where should the kids, he's a oddball.
OJ's right. OJ did great. I love OJ.
You wouldn't have probably taught in the University of the University.
You would have just been happy with what you just did.
So when people are watching this right now, like 50,000, I think, but I don't
wish any ill will anybody and I wish you the best in your journey and your success.
How did the bully think it would go?
The bully thought that he would get positive clips off of the interaction.
That's how he thought.
But regardless, though, um, yeah, bro, I lashed out a little bit after that happened as y'all saw on stream.
Um, I walked away from OJ because I knew I was going to start crying.
And I told Luca cut the cam. Even this is good. But he's just being again, he's being real. This is
real. Being vulnerable and being vulnerable and being open about your emotions is being real.
with this internet shit all you see is what niggas choose to put up. Right? I don't have to be live right now. I choose to be live. So niggas can carefully construct their life to make it look like the best form and version of
they self, which is very dangerous to all of you guys that are watching me right now.
It's very dangerous.
Because you end up being influenced by a life that is not real.
So that's why I turned my camera back on because even though I'm crying, some things might call
me a bitch, things might call me hate pussy like crying.
I'm being myself.
My emotion of human being, I feel emotions as a man is okay to have emotions.
And I wanted to share that with you, because I didn't say and I'm glad I did.
Regardless of some of my have to say about.
Not the other day. Life is a roller coaster of your ups and your downs. It's never perfect.
Ever. But that why I still keep going after that job.
Okay. Yeah, I just wanted to for a little bit. I know my throat fucked up. But Kai has a great event.
And my son, my cousin Morgan, as I know, if I would get.
He was telling me how much this shit blew up and I don't want to end it on such a negative note like it should be positive niggas made friends niggas had a great time.
Cause probably spending a popular watch a shit millions of dollars to make this happen.
So, and I appreciate that's ended shit on a good note.
And I don't want to stop this stream.
because of one person who was kind of off-putting, because I fucked up to y'all.
All y'all people that watch me and support me and pay to watch me.
You know, like y'all been supporting me, pushing me through this journey.
You feel me? Man, I tell y'all to the end of this streamer you should, to the end of it.
To be honest, because I have something, a message to share.
That's bigger than a fucking stream of black boy max.
So, I love you guys. Thank you.
We have club presentations like 15 minutes. I'm going to go and go around.
Yeah, I can take it out email only.
Let's have a good ass last day also. I want to say thank you to.
Anyone that hit me up with texting your, uh, which checked on me. That shit really means a lot to me.
We'll say thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I get it does it does it does. Thank you guys. Oh, yeah
Thank you guys. Thank you for all of it. So it's lost boy bones. We all are still fucking parasocial. Did you text them?
Yeah, I did I did why the fuck does it matter to you? What what it like?
What is this question, bro?
What is this fucking question?
Y'all are so goddamn parasolid sometimes you're fucking 30 plus years old to this community is Jesus Christ. Anyway
Anyway, all right
Um, yeah, so the good and the bad
The good and the bad uh, it's it's uh, it's important
to sometimes have a little bit of tough talk, okay?
It's important to sometimes have a little bit of tough talk.
But yeah, I think this was a negative experience
that turned into a learning experience fairly quickly.
And a big part of that is because people were like,
this is unacceptable, right?
People in the community were like, this is unacceptable.
And it's important to push back.
against that sort of thing.
It's important to push back against that sort of thing because
a lot of people
are learning
how to behave
socially
and who they are
in the universe
on the internet.
And as more and more people
as more and more people
spend more time with their social development online,
they can learn the wrong lessons
because as I've repeatedly explained over and over again,
so many people lean into like so many people
just wanna fit in.
We've all done it, right?
We've all been there when we're growing up.
You want to fit in.
Okay.
We all want to fit in.
And when we see other people that we think are cool, right?
Behave this way.
When we see people that we consider to be cool,
behave this way.
When you're in school,
and if the jocks were clowning on the weird kid,
like the, you know, the student that didn't fit in.
And you, you wanted to also present yourself as a cool kid.
You would do the same thing.
That's why I think it's important for,
for content creators who have a shit ton of influence
regardless of their age
to recognize their responsibility that they have.
Jocs in the big two six.
I mean, you know what I mean, man?
I'm trying to fucking explain social conformity
in the most simple terms possible, okay?
The fuck do you want me to do?
There's a lot of dudes who see other people
behave a certain way,
and then they tailor their entire personality around that.
And if no one is fucking checking them,
if no one is being like, that's not cool,
if no cool person is checking them and pushing back on it,
then they think that kind of attitude,
that kind of opinion is totally normal.
And slowly but surely that kind of behavior gets normalized.
That's how it works.
And yes, in this analogy, the streamers, the influencers, the personalities that a lot of young people are looking up to, a lot of young people are watching,
are the quote-unquote cool kids that are shaping the youth's perspective.
Okay. So, friction isn't necessarily bad, albeit it's better if there's no friction
like this. But it's not necessarily bad if it turns into a reliable lesson on what is
good behavior and what's bad behavior, what's unacceptable and what's acceptable, right?
So yeah.
But yeah, Andrew Tate fucking cooked an entire generation.
Aiden Ross, Andrew Tate.
Straight up.
And now that motherfuckers going to prison.
So yeah.
Pac watch.
On that note, we're moving on from Shreemer University.
And we're getting back to the real world, U.S. Central Command, U.S. Response to Iranian
Strike to Kill two America's Service members.
Obviously, the tit for tat strikes have expanded.
Now we're getting to the adult news, okay?
Everyone, hold on to your butts.
gotten to the, you know, real news and information. And the right is not coping well with this.
Okay. Since this news came out, there's actually four killed in action. And I believe more
that are missing in action as well. SENTCOM has identified the, the, or SENTCOM announced
that there are unidentified remains of the missing soldier was found and then another
soldier was killed during a controlled explosion of an unexploded shahed in northern Iraq yesterday.
Sankham announces that two soldiers, two more soldiers were killed and one is missing as a
result of an Iranian strike in Jordan yesterday. There are a number of injuries as well. This
is not just in Jordan. However, there's some in Iraq. The IRGC strikes are actually far more
successful in the way that the American side is presented initially. And this is causing a lot of
panic amongst the right. Obviously we are not oblivious to this reality because we have working
brains in this fucking community and we've been watching this stuff unfold for the longest time.
And clearly, a lot of Republicans on the other hand are who have, I guess, been deluded by the
way Trump has presented it are going, what the fuck is happening?
What the fuck is going on? We thought that the the IRGC's capabilities were destroyed. It doesn't
seem like it's fucking destroyed. How are they actually doing this? That's the real question,
Maria Bartiromo on Fox News said this as well. Here's Bartiromo. Here's Bartiromo bringing up this
point, right here. Let's, let's, we'll start with Matt Wandsfall first. I'm confused. The USA has
the most powerful military on earth. We're bummed the hell out of Iran for four months.
Trump says the Air Force Navy and nearly all their missile capabilities are destroyed.
So how is Iran still capable of hitting US bases right now?
Hey man, perhaps it's because Trump has been fucking lying.
Perhaps that's the reason. Has that ever been a fucking factor in this equation? We've been telling
you this whole time. It is a healthy exercise, I guess, for you to, you know, recognize what's
actually going on. Trump has been lying this whole time, okay? Of course, he's been lying.
He's lied every day of his life. And he will lie tomorrow. He lied yesterday. He's lying today.
He's gonna lie tomorrow as well. He's a fucking pathological liar. And a lot of you are dumb fucks
who I guess want to believe him or believe him because you think he's you know he's he's fantastic
he's he's the real one he's you know he's he's defending your interests or whatever but like
yeah he's lying says that there will be outsized action in retaliation but I don't understand
how it's possible that Iran has the capabilities to fight this way and continue to try to lash out
out at Gulf countries and US military bases,
because the US has obliterated Iran's military
and the president continues to reiterate that.
Yes, and if you look at the numbers of missiles
that they've been able to fire off
from the beginning of this war,
late February, early March,
and what they're able to do now,
it is very seriously degraded.
They've gone from over a hundred.
Like this is why the lies continue, by the way.
This is how you continue the narrative.
Oh, no, it's been seriously degraded. Oh, really? Oh, really?
How much longer can you continue doing this, man? How?
How much longer can Fox News continue with this fucking narrative?
Here, I'll give you a dumber example of this, right?
A sillier example that you may have seen on the internet.
Odyssey. Christopher Nolan's adaptation of Homer's Odyssey.
Republicans and right-wingers, right-wing sloppulists have talked about how shit this movie is
for fucking months. Why is it shit? Because there's a trans man in it. There's a black woman playing Helen of Troy.
They've been losing their fucking minds. Well, it turns out
it's actually awesome. People love it. It's a fucking major hit. Of course, it's a major hit.
It's a masterpiece is what people are saying. And now they're like,
What why won't people hate on this like I did with or before watching the fucking movie?
I don't know maybe because most normal people aren't fucking morons like you that don't just go
Oh my god a black woman is Helen of Troy. I hate this boy got the fucking movie. They're so stupid
This is where the alternative reality that right wingers construct
meet the actual reality on the ground. This is where right-wingers are reminded that they're
actually the can't shut the fuck up minority, okay? They're not the silent majority. They're
just a majority of the voices that people unfortunately hear because of our base-boosted
right-wing slanted algorithms, okay?
When the when the expectation finally meets reality all of a sudden right-wingers are supposed to have a reality check
Many of them don't even do that though, but there are so many different versions of this
This is the entire fucking ecosystem now on the internet. It's so fucking annoying
Hiramkar says the irony of the right-wing Odyssey controversy is that it can only be
recast so easily because the West streets European history is universalized while
everything else is specific and ethnic. The right can never be happy because they
wanted to be both white and universal at once. But yeah, it's a silly, it's a silly
aside, but it's the same exact principle from something as dumb as my expectations
of the Odyssey movies, that it's going to fucking suck because there's like literally
a five second, uh, Elliot Page, uh, uh, uh, Elliot Page moment in the entire thing versus
how normal people perceive it, where they go, I don't give a shit about this.
Yeah.
Christopher Nolan has canceled all screenings of the Odyssey with movie influences, he's
only allowing approved critics to see it in advance.
He's waving the surrender flag.
They know that they have a financial disaster on their hands.
Elon Musk, how pathetic.
Yeah, it turns out Christopher Nolan's Odyssey is now heading to record breaking
117 million dollar domestic opening weekend shattering initial projections of 90 to 90 million to 100 million
Like what are we doing? Why do you want to live like this? That's the question I have why do you want to live like this?
Who wants to live in this alternative universe?
where you're constantly angry, where you're constantly mad, all the fucking time, you're constantly scared, you're constantly diluting yourself into believing that the world is supposed to be a certain way.
Yeah, it's 257 million actually, in its worldwide opening weekend.
This is what I don't get, okay?
I know we moved on from Iran to the Odyssey, but it follows the same trend line.
Right-wingers construct an alternative reality in which everyone actually feels the same
resentments that they do, and they constantly try to get others on board with feeling-said
resentment, whereas most normal people don't have that opinion.
Yeah, I don't think it's a great thing that critics are able to manufacture a consensus
on media like this says, Asmongold.
I don't think it's a great thing that critics are able to preemptively manufacture a consensus
on media like this, especially when this movie has so many hot button social issues tied
into it that critics refuse to address.
Critics now offer propaganda rather than insight.
I don't think it's great thing that critics are able to manufacture a consensus on media
like this.
Yeah, you're just mad that you couldn't, you couldn't manufacture consensus ahead of time. That's it.
Thank God most people in the fucking real world don't give a shit about these idiotic assumptions.
It's so stupid.
It's so fucking dumb. Just eat the goddamn L and sit the fuck down.
Hopefully this is a learning moment for you. Stop trying to farm outrage about
pieces of art that haven't even come out yet. How many fucking times do these
guys have to fall flat on their faces over and over again?
And the same thing goes for Iran.
The same thing happens on a much grander scale with Donald Trump, okay?
The same thing happens on a much grander scale with Donald Trump and the way that he's covering.
The way that he is basically trafficking in nonsense on a daily basis.
We're destroying Iran.
We've destroyed Iran.
There's a peace deal that Iran is begging to put together every fucking week.
And his fan base is cult, Trump's cult eats it up.
And yet real world events are unfolding all around us.
And unfortunately, unfortunately for right-wingers, what Donald Trump says can move markets.
But ultimately, you can't out-yap reality to this degree, because eventually, troops
are gonna fucking die.
And when that happens, you're gonna be like, how did that happen?
Why are troops dying?
We're the most powerful military on the fucking planet.
How is this taking place?
Overnight, the US launching new strides on Iran, retaliation for the drone and missile
attack that killed two American service members and injured several others at a base in Jordan,
Saturday, one service member is still missing. In these new American strikes, Sintcom sang
the U.S. quote, targeted Islamic Revolutionary Guard forces that launched those attacks in
Jordan.
Video circulating online appears to show multiple projectiles raining down from the night sky.
The moment that face was hit, four injured service members were taken to hospitals in
Jordan and later released. Several others suffered minor injuries and have returned
to duty. So far in this war, 16 American troops have been killed and more than 400 wounded
according to the Department of Defense. These latest combat deaths are the first reported
since the fighting restarted. Responding to word of the deadly attack, President Trump
reportedly telling the New York Post, quote, it's a shame, but in this case, they died
because they don't want to see Iran have a nuclear weapon and they don't want to see
the Middle East blown up. The attack came after seven straight days of U.S. strikes
on Iranian targets, including surveillance sites and military logistics infrastructure.
Both sides now say the ceasefire agreed in mid-June is over.
Iran, meanwhile, has been targeting its neighbors, launching missiles and drones at American
bases in Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait.
Those strikes raising questions about the status of American missile defense.
It's estimated that the war is severely depleting critical U.S. munitions, including for the
The Patriot missile batteries crucial to protecting American troops and allies.
For just last month, Secretary Hexha dismissed reports of any shortages.
Ultimately, our stockpiles are great and they only get stronger.
The U.S. has now carried out strikes on Iranian targets for eight straight days, and several
countries have condemned the Iranian strikes under calling for restraint, but for now,
Rachel, it seems there is no end in sight.
Yeah, 140 days into this conflict.
Okay, Marcus, thank you.
escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran while it's sending gas prices up again, ABC's
Christiane Cordero joins us now with the numbers.
Good morning.
Hey there, Rachel.
Good morning.
So gas prices are rising with the tension around the Strait of Hormuz, where a fifth
of the global oil supply passes through.
U.S. oil is trading at $82.47 up about 4.5 percent, while the national average for a
gallon of regular gas in the U.S. is now $3.98, according to GasBuddy, a 14-cent increase
from last week's average and a dollar more expensive compared to when the war began.
This is all coinciding with the busy summer travel season and the lack of traffic moving
through the Strait of Hormuz.
This morning, Iranian state media reports the regime intercepted four ships.
In the Strait today, warning those waiting to pass that they must directly coordinate
with the IRGC.
Data from maritime analytics firm Kepler shows ship traffic dropping significantly as low
with single digits in recent days compared to about 70 ships that cross per day during
the temporary memorandum of understanding and roughly 100 per day before the war began.
Our team has spoken with shipping executives who have vessels waiting.
I've explained this to you guys already.
There's only so much out yapping you can do, but you can't out yap how people feel in their
wallets, okay?
Obviously, the Trump administration, alongside the rest of the world, has tried to keep up
with the imminent energy crisis by unleashing their strategic petroleum reserves, but there
is going to be a hard limit to how much you can try to manage the imminent volatility.
Okay?
It's at a certain point, everything is going to collapse when people realize like, okay,
market factors are actually not looking at the hard limit with this actual commodity
that is necessary for survival, right? It's going to happen. It's already beginning to happen,
regardless because there's like obviously supply shortages that are compounding,
right? And it's going to lead to, and it has led to an inflationary crisis anyway.
They say they want more clarity before they feel safe enough to move ships through.
And until the bottleneck in Ease's geo, analysts say gas prices will keep going up.
Yeah, such a back and forth on these gas prices, Christiane, thank you so much.
Well, moments ago, President Trump posted to TrueSocial with this message on Iran, saying
Republicans should add Iran to the Russian sanctions bill.
what Lindsay wanted to do, referencing the late Senator Lindsey Graham. It comes after
the deaths of two American service members in Jordan.
October and is live in Tel Aviv with the latest. Mike and Lisa. Hey guys, let me start
you out with some breaking breaking news. Air raid sirens are sounding right now because
Iranian missiles are inbound for the Jordanian town of Aqaba. Why Aqaba is particularly concerning.
It's at the tip of the Red Sea, right where Israel and Jordan come together. So and yeah,
So yeah, Giganek, slowly but surely the IRGC missiles have been able to successfully take
out a lot of the batteries, a lot of the anti air defense systems inside of Jordan.
Jordan is obviously very important for Israeli security.
Jordan is basically the last line of defense.
In the last 130 days in the Epstein Fury, Operation Epstein Fury Iran successfully took
out the radar installations, the eyes and the ears that the Americans had in the entire region
that would play a formative role in the Israeli response in Israeli air defenses.
But of course, after they took out the radars, they started taking out the batteries. They
started taking out the offensive strike capabilities, but more importantly, from the Israeli perspective,
the defensive strike capabilities. And as of this week, the IRGC has hyper-focused on the Jordanian
defenses. Jordan operated as a key hub, says Murtaza Hussain, for executing the February 28
attack on Iran and also seemed to have specific detail on the type of operation it would be,
including the killing of Iranian leaders and attempts at regime change. It would be more
respectable to just own the conflict then, attempting to deny the obvious or acting like
like an innocent bystander just goes equally for the other GCC states that have been involved
in the war. This is of course, in response to all the UNIS's reporting. Jordanian Foreign
Minister Aiman Safati denied publicly days ago that the U.S. has a military base in Jordan,
a line that has been repeated by other officials and government media. It's not clear why Jordan
keeps denying the existence of a U.S. military base. The U.S. built with his own money publicly.
This is of course gotten Israel nervous Argentina received the red card. Oh hell yeah get fucked, Argentina
Booking finally doing Taekwondo for 70 minutes.
People in Israel are getting more anxious than usual now, especially after the strikes
on the border with Jordan.
Amir Buh-Buk is reporting that the defense establishment is expecting a missile attack
from Iran.
This could also just mean that Israel is preparing to attack Iran, okay?
Israel has made it, Israel put a no-fly zone for drone operators, commercial, civilian across
the board recently.
That means they're expecting possible drones as well beyond ballistic munitions.
This is a big deal.
As I reported yesterday, the reason why they're attacking Jordan is because they're making
it easier.
They're making Israel more vulnerable, okay?
They're making Israel more vulnerable because they expect Israel to possibly join with the
United States of America post-MOU as they did prior to the MOU.
Because right now, up until now, America's been striking.
Israel's been awfully quiet.
Israel hasn't actually accompanied the American strikes on Iran.
But Iran is basically creating an environment where they can retaliate against Israel if
they see it necessary.
they see it to be a necessity. And that's the reason why they took out the air defenses
in Jordan. That's the reason why they've been pummeling the Jordanian bases. And that's
the reason why Americans died in Jordan. Now, one might ask the question, what the fuck
are American troops stationed in Jordan that are playing defense for Israel? But you know,
that's, I think we all know the answer to that question, right?
The thing that threatens Acaba threatens Israel as well. To this point, the Iranians have
not fired on Israel in this round of fighting. But as you mentioned, an eighth round of airstrikes
has now concluded in Iran. U.S. strikes in Iran. The military operation now amplified
by the two U.S. servicemen killed a third missing and four wounded. These are the first
U.S. troops killed since that memorandum of understanding was signed. The casualties were
at the Moafak Salty Air Base in Jordan. And the result of Iran's repeated shots at U.S.
bases in neighboring countries, at least one strike, got through the defenses. The Institute
for study of war rights, Iran has enhanced their ballistic missiles with greater speed
and maneuverability and that the Revolutionary Guard is getting some help from Russia and
China.
Now, as fighters launched from aircraft carriers, Tomahawk cruise missiles blasted off from warships.
U.S. Central Command stated that this eighth round of strikes was intended to punish the
Revolutionary Guard forces who launched the attacks that killed the U.S. service members
in Jordan.
Now President Trump, speaking to the New York Post, said those servicemen who sacrificed
their lives did it because they don't want to see Iran get a nuclear weapon and it just
shows you how bad they, the Iranians, are.
To this point, the majority of targets have focused on disabling points, ports destroying
the ability of port towns to resupply and preventing the Revolutionary Guard from threatening
shipping.
Dramatic evidence of that, a tower destroyed in the port town of Khabarov.
the U.S. says the Revolutionary Guards used that tower to track ships and attack them
in the strait.
Now since this war with Iran began, 16 U.S. service members have lost their lives, 430
have been wounded.
Guys, back to you.
All right.
Thank you, Mike.
Thank you, Mike.

Obviously, we're going to continue situation monitoring however, Jake Tapper had Abdul
I'll say head on. That's another situation that we will be monitoring today. But so far,
there's also some additional developments. Iran's getting a little frisky
because of the confidence that they have. There are some Iranian analysts that are now
talking about entertaining strikes, or not even strikes, but an offensive operation,
and invasion, if you will, on Kuwait.
And for the record, since the news came out about the two soldiers that were died,
a third service member was reported to be dead.
This is the eighth night of successive strikes back and forth.
We're giving an update on the course of life of U.S. service members.
We reported earlier that two U.S. service members had been killed and a third was missing.
is missing. The remains of that third missing US service member have been recovered, so
you're talking about three people killed by that strike. And another unfortunate incident,
service members were disposing of the explosives in an Iranian attack drone with a controlled
explosion, something went wrong, and another US service member was killed.
God damn. All of this according to Central Command.
200 get the subs. Thank you.
Last night, the US responded to the US loss of life with an intensified round of strikes
into iran this marks the first time the u.s. has had any loss of life since that
memorandum of understanding was signed the memorandum of understanding which
is now largely disregarded the casual casualties were at the muawfak salty
air base in jordan and they are a result of iran's repeated shots at u.s. bases
in neighboring countries at least one strike out through the defenses now the
institute i mean these guys are just straight up dying for israel just make
No mistake like there's no clear example of dying for Israel than sitting in a fucking base in Jordan
That is playing a formative role in striking Iran and also playing a formative role in defending Israel
That is straight up what this is
Trump is sending these people and and lighting the region on fire
Trump is sending these people to their deaths
because he wants to
lean into whatever Israel's demands are, destabilizing a sovereign nation that has the capability of fighting back.
Germany and Britain are evacuating their diplomats from Kuwait, by the way, since there's some reporting.
And obviously, the strikes are ongoing. It hasn't stopped.
Reports of missile and drone launches towards Bahrain, Kuwait, Abil, and Iraq, a U.S. soldier was killed last night during the same type of attack in Abil.
There's extensive damage on these bases, and Germany and Britain are evacuating their diplomats
from Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.
The U.S. advises citizens to leave the Middle East region.
A lot of indications that massive escalations are being prepared.
And Israel is also preparing for additional strikes on Israeli soil as well.
Here is Trudeuparsi on the issue, says, to say that the U.S. underestimated Iran's missile
capabilities only have true.
there was an underestimation, but there was also a deliberate effort to downplay Iran's capabilities
and silence and de-platform those who early on pointed to their efficiency after the first
round of attacks between Israel and Iran, and the reason was clear. To get Trump to agree to a larger
war, a media narrative of Iranian weakness, Iran's a paper tiger, it's on the brink of collapse,
et cetera, had to be manufactured. In that context, any acknowledgement of Iran's actual capabilities,
which were demonstrated in April and October 2024 were non permissible.
And that's why we're here.
That's why we're here. This just came out. Is Iran becoming another forever war?
John Goat, Shimer and Chris Hedges, they had a conversation about this. We can take a look
at it in a little bit. But yeah, go talk, go talk over and over again. Yeah, this is,
this is reporting from some, some on the Iranian side, Iran is actively planning and seriously
considering a ground incursion into Kuwait to seize the US military air base or military base,
including Camp Beering, Camp Arjian, and Ali Al-Salem airbase, and then take 100 US soldiers hostage
before quickly transferring them to Iran. If the US continues his military campaign against Iran,
per prominent Iranian analyst Mahdi Khanalizadeh and former Iranian foreign minister Motaki.
I don't know if this is real. I don't know how real this is. I don't know how real. I don't know.
So if you're asking me, does Iran have the capability to do this?
The answer is yes.
The answer is yes.
Kuwait is perhaps less protected than all of the other countries in the region and has
less overall protection.
Saudi Arabia is obviously one of the immediate regional actors that could potentially defend
Kuwait.
The reality of the matter is, I don't think that they're going to do this.
I think this is unlikely.
I think it's just an empty threat for the most part.
But if there's one country, if there's one country that is uniquely vulnerable to something
like this, it would be Kuwait.
Iraq obviously has its own problems with the Shia population, so they can't do anything
about it.
And Saudi Arabia has its own problems with the Houthis because that's another front
that has opened up when the Houthis flew back from Iran to Zana and the Saudis blew up the
Zana airport. And then the Houthis responded by attacking the civilian airport in Saudi
Arabia and the military air bases in Saudi Arabia, creating a unique security environment
for Saudi Arabia, one that they have, they've certainly experienced, one they do not want
go back to, right? The Saudis are too busy dealing with the Houthis and therefore they're
probably not going to send any troops or any military Kuwait to defend Kuwait. So that's
a threat I guess. Over time Spain has dominated both the field and the football but have yet
the score while Argentina has had multiple aggressive situations with Spain showing restraint
0-0.
Of course Saudi Arabia is in a unique situation because they have to implement some sort of
blockade from their perspective on Yemen because if you have a direct route between
Zana and Tehran, all of a sudden the Houthis can open up a new route to potentially receive
weapons from Iran and become a much bigger security threat for Saudi Arabia, especially
if they develop capabilities or they are able to re-up and re-arm and can control the Ba'bil
Mandib Strait, which then doesn't just present a unique security threat for Saudi Arabia
on Saudi Arabia's soil, but also an additional threat for Saudi commerce, uh, for transiting,
uh, uh, oil tankers through, uh, the Bob El-Mandev Strait.
So they have their own vulnerability here as well.
Connolly, Zade adds, the city that should be evacuated is not Tehran.
It is Doha, Manama, Abu Dhabi, and Kuwait, warning that a flood of American blood will
flow in the region with Kuwait being considered one of Iran's principal options for the ground
incursion.
He says no political border will be safe and that Iran would shift to a full-scale offensive
if U.S. strikes continue.
I think this is just a threat.
Al-Azadeh, also warns joining the U.S. in a ground invasion is tantamount to a declaration
of war upon Iran with the Iranian land force prepared to punish any state that participates.
Okay?
Dropsite news alluded to Syria letting Iran smuggle weapons through their territory Lebanon
Do you think the Syrian leader is playing both sides?
I highly, highly doubt that.
Unless Turkey is playing both sides, but I also highly doubt that.
Because HDS or not HDS, but, you know, Joe Lensky.
Joe Lensky is.
He is an American asset.
He's a Turkish asset.
He is.
You know woke woke al-Qaeda woke former al-Qaeda
There is very
There's very little indication that they would ever allow Iran to operate inside of Syrian borders
I mean the whole point of
overthrowing Bashar al-Assad wasn't necessarily to
Develop Syria or anything. I'm talking about like from the Western perspective. They don't give a shit
Syrians are developing Syria at all or allowing Syria to to exist as a normal country their their goal is to
sever
The land bridge between Iran and Lebanon so that there is no there one element of the logistical supply chain between
Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon is is gone permanently. That is the primary focus. That was the primary goal, right?
So, that would be highly unlikely unless Turkey decided that they want to, unless Turkey decided that they, that they want to move a chess piece in some way against Israel somehow.
I don't know. I just, but I don't see it happening at all.
And I also don't know if this conflict would expand into Kuwait. I don't know if Iran would actually
Directly
Invade Kuwait the Islamic resistance reaffirms its commitment to directly engaging in the battle against the American enemy should it continue to escalate its
Aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran it will target all American interests and base in the country and the region with full force and determination
termination in this context, we would like to point out that the Islamic resistance in
Iraq has not carried out any military operations against American bases in Iraq or the region
in the past few days.
Yeah, there's the Iraqi resistance as well that were lasering American bases.
I mean, they, they, they killed.
I think there was like a French guy that they killed.
If I'm not, if I'm remembering correctly, like they are, they are obviously also an ever-present
threat as well. Spain goal. Just wait. You're celebrating too early. It's
Argentina. Turkey threatened to provide air assistance to Iran if Kurds invaded the country
as a part of a Mossad ground operation. Senior Israeli official say reportedly what Trump
meant when he claimed Turkey was on the verge of involvement in the fighting?
There's a NATO base in Iraq, Kurdistan, yeah.
Is this World War Three?
Um, I mean, I guess it's not the same as World War Two nor World War One, but one could say that World War Three is kind of happening already, I guess. I don't know.
Ref Insta called it.
that's crazy. I didn't even see it happen. I didn't even see it happen. I just said,
I just said, VARGENTINA!
That's unbelievable!
You did this bitch! I'm wearing the fucking jersey! What more do you want?
This is your fault? That's crazy! I'm sorry that I predicted the most obvious thing.
the most obvious thing of all time. All right, let's get to the Chris Hedges go talk on is
Iran becoming another forever war 15th and 16th among US service members in the war
with Iran. The US has also reimposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports. This is why PBS

The halt in shipments of crude oil.
Iran's supreme leader in response issued a statement calling Donald Trump's signature
on the memorandum of understanding, which initiated the now broken ceasefire, quote,
worthless and invalid, end quote, and suspended the agreement.
The latest round of strikes is ominous.
They include attacks by the U.S. on Iranian desalination plants, which remove salt from
seawater and power plants that provide the electricity to carry out water production.
Iran is responded by bombing desalination plants in Kuwait, where U.S. warplanes are
based.
Nations in the Gulf rely almost exclusively on desalination plants to provide fresh water
in Kuwait, about 90% of drinking water comes from desolination, along with roughly 86%
in Oman, and about 70% in Saudi Arabia. There are hundreds of desolination plants situated
along the Persian Gulf. The water supply for millions of people is within range of Iranian
missiles and drones. Should the targeting of desolination plants continue, it will trigger
a humanitarian crisis. Iran has once again closed, for the most part, the Strait of Omoos
to shipping U.S. bases in the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan
have been attacked. Iran has called on their Houthi allies in Yemen to close the Babel
Mondab Strait should the U.S. attack Iran's power infrastructure. This would block all
shipments out of the Gulf, including oil from Saudi Arabia.
Trump's escalation is a huge gamble for the United States, whose strategic petroleum reserve
has fallen to its lowest level since 1983. Its stockpiles of missiles and interceptors
are also being exhausted. After initially projecting that the war would cost $29 billion,
the Pentagon is now saying it needs $80 billion. Once indirect costs such as increases in food
and fuel prices are added, the cost to consumers and taxpayers is about $132 billion in rising.
Where do we go from here? Will the steady escalation ignite a regional war? What will
the renewed fighting do to the global economy and will a negotiated settlement at this
point even be possible? Joining me to discuss the latest round of fighting in the Middle
East is Professor John Merchimer. He is the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service
professor of political science at the University of Chicago.
Professor Maerstramer, who graduated from West Point, was a captain in the U.S. Air Force,
he is the author of numerous books including Conventional Deterrence, Nuclear Deterrence,
Ethics, and Lytle Heart and the Weight of History, The Tragedy of Great Power Politics,
the Israel lobby, and U.S. Foreign Policy and why Leaders Lie, the truth about lying
in international politics.
So John, before we began, you made a point that last night the United States apparently
They did not attack infrastructure within Iran.
And you suggested that the Iranian attacks on desalination plants and oil facilities
we should add in Kuwait as well as the two bases in Kuwait that are staging areas for
US warplanes may have functioned as a kind of deterrence.
I just wondered if you could address that.
Yeah.
Let's just talk about the big picture here.
This tit for cat strategy that has been going on for over a week now started on July
And this past week, early in the week, President Trump made it clear that if the Iranians did
not surrender by the end of this week, that he would then go after civilian infrastructure
in Iran.
He'd go after bridges, he'd go after power plants, and so forth and so on.
But what happened was that at the end of this past week, he started, or the United States
started to go after civilian infrastructure. We went after bridges, we went after power plants,
and we went after a desalination plant. I think the goal for this, I think the goal for this was
to basically cut off routes of transit that the military would use, the Iranian military would
use to get to Qashem Island and potentially create an environment where America could
invade some of the Iranian coastline specifically in the southern part of Iran.
It's still a war crime. It's still unacceptable. I'm just trying to explain to you
what their reasoning is for why they were targeting critical infrastructure like this that civilians were using land bridges and the like.
You just made that up. I made that up really. You think I made this up. What's your goal here? What's your opinion here?
You think they were just blowing up one specific areas bridges that connects it to the rest of the fucking country
Like they're doing war crimes, yes, but they're also doing it for a specific military purpose, okay
This doesn't make the war crimes appropriate
especially when the easier route to take would be to
Implement the memorandum of understanding that they already had at the table
You kind of just shape events to your narrative sometimes man-law.
I explain this to you when they did this at the time when they were fucking hitting these
bridges I explained it at the time as well.
It's not just my narrative, there are far smarter individuals than myself that I read
that also have a similar assessment.
Chatters will come in here and be like, how dare you do analysis?
I came here to just what?
Watch me fucking go yeah based over other people's commentary inside of Iran.
Now, what the Iranians did was they instantly retaliated against similar targets in countries
like Kuwait.
Furthermore, they ramped up the bombing campaign against Jordan, and they bombed Saudi Arabia
for the first time in almost four months.
So they made it clear that they were going to play tit for tat.
Moreover, the Iranians made it clear that next week, if President Trump went after civilian
infrastructure in a big way, they would basically shut down the flow of oil out of the Persian
Gulf and out of the Red Sea and out of the United Arab Emirates, which has a very important
port that's located outside of the Strait of Hormuz.
All of this would be shut down.
And furthermore, the Iranians would go after all sorts of power plants, desalination plants
across the Middle East.
So the Iranians made it clear that they were playing hardball.
Now when you look at these threats in the context of what the Iranians have actually
been able to do over the past few days, in terms of hitting various targets in Jordan
and in other places in the Middle East, it's manifestly clear that the Iranians have the
capability to target all sorts of infrastructure inside of these Middle East states and do
great destruction. And both the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal have run articles
in recent days about how effective the missile strikes are. So I think what has happened
here, Chris, and I'm just saying I think this is what happened, is that last night,
which is Saturday slash Sunday night, the American retaliation against Iran did not include
civilian infrastructure in any meaningful way.
They did not go after bridges.
They did not go after power plants.
They did not go after desalination plants,
which they had been doing.
We had been moving in that direction,
but that stopped last night.
And the question you have to ask yourself is,
number one, why?
And number two, is that a harbinger
of what we think will happen in the coming week?
Now, my guess is that it stopped last night
because the Gulf States called up President Trump
and said, you absolutely cannot go after civilian infrastructure
inside of Iran, because if the Iranians retaliate,
they will destroy our societies.
They will wreck our power plants.
They will wreck our desalination plants.
And it looks like, again, just looks like Trump listened.
And then that raises the question,
what will Trump do this coming week?
Because he has promised that he is
going to unleash the dogs and go after all this civilian
infrastructure in Iran.
But he now knows what the consequences of that will be.
Well, he's so material, of course, it's very dangerous to predict.
He could very well bomb civilian infrastructure tomorrow night.
One sense is that he's flailing about.
Of course, the entire war on Iran was built on a fantasy that
didn't come to fruition, fed to him largely by beabing that
then yahoo.
But it doesn't appear that there's any real strategy other
and then an escalation of force.
And I think the naive hope that that will make
the Iranians bend, but you may have another take on that.
Well, I think you're right.
He signed the MOU on 17 June.
And as I've emphasized on numerous occasions,
on numerous platforms, that was a surrender document.
The Iranians won on every point.
Then after signing the agreement,
he decided to challenge the Iranians
on the whole question of who controls the Strait of Hormones.
To me, it was very clear from Article 5
of the Memorandum of Understanding
that Iran controlled the Strait
in the 60-day negotiating period.
And then moving forward,
control of the Strait would be settled
between Iran and Amman.
That was the deal.
There was nothing about the United States
controlling the Strait.
But what President Trump tried to do
was open a US-dominated channel in the Gulf.
They got around Iranian control
of the spread of Hormuz.
And the Iranians said unsurprisingly,
this is unacceptable and it violates Article 5.
But Trump felt confident that he could basically throw
the MOU under the bus and he could engage
in a tit for tat military strategy with the Iranians
where the United States would win.
In other words, he seemed to believe
that we had new found coercive leverage over the Iranians
after signing the June 17th MOU. But this is delusional. Nothing has changed in the
dynamics of the conflict, as we have seen over the past week or so. The Iranians have
a formidable missile and drone capability, and there's nothing we can do about it. And
the idea that we have a new found advantage over the Iranians-
It's actually worse. So, not only do we not have a new found advantage that Donald Trump
thinks we have, or is operating like he thinks we have, but we actually have a bigger disadvantage
this time around, because the whole purpose behind the MOU, even in the most charitable
estimations, if we're to assume that like these guys know what they're doing, and it
was deliberate, the MOU was actually fake, it was a concoction to normalize the oil prices,
That would be the most shareable up to the to the administration, right?
Like they didn't have any intentions of following through on it. They just wanted a moment of respite if that's the strategy
Then that comes with the recognition that America has less leverage now
Then it did before the MOU because that recognition is now the strategic petroleum reserves are diminishing to a degree that is critical
Okay
That's the problem here
So, it's actually worse, not only do we not have the military capabilities, not only do
we not have any military leverage, like any coercive, military coercive capabilities against
Iran, we actually have less time and less opportunity to even continue militarily engaging
Iran because the strategic petroleum reserves are about to collapse.
opinions now that we didn't have when we signed the June 17th MOU agreement makes no sense at all
Well the irony is that there was huge opposition from the hardliners in Iran to
essentially agree to this MOU and that's great. I worry that this is going to go up the escalation ladder
And then Trump is going to do something crazy.
Congratulations to Spain for the goal, by the way.
I worry that Trump is going to let the Israelis nuke around or something.
I do worry about that a little bit.
This is the other issue.
If there is a way, a negotiated way out, it isn't going to look like the MOU, which
was a surrender document.
It's going to look a lot worse for the United States because the MOU was predicated on phases.
This time around, the Iranians are going to demand that they have about 100 billion in
frozen assets.
They're going to want that release.
They're going to want a lot of stuff up front.
I agree with that.
I mean, there's no question that the moderates won with regard to whether or not Iran should
sign the MOU on June 17th.
The hardliners said, don't sign it.
You can't trust the Americans, but the moderates prevailed.
And then the hardliners proved to be correct.
So they're now in the driver's seat as best we can tell.
And it seems to me, given that we don't have any military strategy for defeating Iran,
that we're going to at some point have to move to a memorandum of understanding number
two.
And it will be the hardliners, not the moderates, who are in the driver's seat.
And as I think you correctly point out, those hardliners will push forward a tougher deal,
a tougher deal for Trump to swallow.
I would imagine that in addition to your point about them wanting all of those frozen
assets up front, they will also demand that the Israelis get out of southern Lebanon.
If you look at Article 1 of the 17 June MOU, it dealt with Lebanon, and it was very clear
from that memorandum of understanding, and the mere fact that the Lebanon issue was the
number one issue on that agenda, that the Iranians really do want the Israelis to stop
bombing Hezbollah and to get out of southern Lebanon.
And it could be, one can't tell for sure, but it could be that the Iranians will demand
that that happen before they sign a memorandum of understanding.
And this, of course, will put Trump in an extremely difficult position, because as we
both know, the Israelis have no interest in getting out of Southern Lebanon.
But the problem that we face here is that the Iranians, I think, probably have more
leverage now than they had before the June 17th agreement.
I would note, Chris, that I said, not publicly, but I said privately to a number of friends
who I go back and forth with on this whole issue, that I thought the Iranians were foolish
to sign the 17 June Memorandum of Understanding.
I've long believed that the longer the war goes on, and the more wild it's cut off from
the Gulf, the better off the Iranians are.
And just to elaborate on that a bit, and this will put some meat on the bone when it comes
to talking about what might happen this coming week.
You want to remember that there were about 20 million barrels per day coming out of the
Gulf on February 27th.
You know when people talk about 20% of the world's oil came out of the Gulf, that 20%
represents about 20 million barrels.
And since the war started, we've evolved to a situation where 7 million barrels are still
coming out of Saudi Arabia and the UAE combined.
So it's only, in my opinion, about 13 million barrels that have been bottled up in the
Gulf.
Now, where are those 7 million barrels coming out of?
One is that Saudi Arabia is sending probably somewhere on the order of 5 million barrels
out through the Red Sea, not through the Strait of Hormuz.
And I would guess that the UAE is sending out close to 2 million barrels from Fujairah,
which is the UAE port on the Gulf of Oman.
In other words, it's outside of the Strait of Hormuz.
So you have this roughly 7 million barrels of oil,
7 million out of the original 20 million
that are still coming out of the Persian Gulf.
I think the Iranians have a vested interest
in shutting down the flow of oil through the Red Sea.
That's the Saudi Arabian oil.
And shutting down Fujairah.
And there's some evidence they've already shut down Fujairah.
Because this will worsen the oil situation,
the global oil problem that the United States and the rest of the world faces.
So if the war goes on and the Iranians are able to shut down the Red Sea, which they're
threatening to do, and also shut down and keep shut down Fujairah, this will work to
their advantage.
It will give them more coercive leverage.
So all of this is to say, Chris, if Trump does up the ante this coming week and goes
after civilian infrastructure inside of Iran, the Iranians will retaliate by shutting down
almost completely the flow of those seven million barrels of oil that are now coming
out of Saudi Arabia and probably the UAE as well.
Let's talk about Israel.
Israel has not carried out strikes in this latest round, and Iran has refrained from
attacking Israel, although they did – I think the Iranians attacked the port of Aqaba,
which is of course very close to the Israeli border.
were Israeli officials who objected to the fact that American refueling planes were stationed
in Israel, Netanyahu had to override them.
Let's talk about the wild part of Israel.
If Israel gets pulled back into this, it does feel like Armageddon at that point.
Well, the Israelis definitely want to stay out.
They'll let the Americans wage this tit for tat campaign.
I would imagine.
Yeah.
Because, remember, the conditions have not changed for the better for Israel.
By the end of the MOU, Iran was successfully hitting Israel by way of Hezbollah, but also
directly with their own ballistic munitions, and the impact and the frequency of successive
and successful hits was far higher, which means that the Israeli defensive capabilities
had diminished.
This is precisely the reason why it is not in Israel's best interest to join this round
of attacks alongside the United States of America because Iran will retaliate.
They've shown that they will retaliate and not only that, but Iran also retaliated against
Jordan now for the last week or so for the last eight days Iran has been pummeling
their Jordanian anti-air
defense systems and
Not only that but they're also pummeling the Jordanian offensive capabilities as well
This has made Israel's vulnerability even larger
I imagine if a major air war started again, which is extremely unlikely, the Israelis
would willingly participate.
But I think the Israelis understand at this point that if they get involved in the fight
now, if they get involved in the tit for tat conflict, then they become a giant magnet for
Iranian missiles.
The Israelis are surely watching what just happened in Jordan, what's happening in Kuwait,
happening in Bahrain and what the Iranians are promising to do in the UAE.
And they fully understand that Iranian missiles invariably get through the defenses.
Maybe a few of those defensive missiles, those patriots, will knock down an incoming ballistic
missile.
But most of the ballistic missiles and cruise missiles and drones that the Iranians fire
at those Gulf states get through.
And they will get through in Israel as well.
We now know that the Israelis were not very successful in shooting down Iranian ballistic
missiles and drones during the 40 day air campaign, which ran from February 28th to about April
8th.
Israel really got pounded.
And the Israelis don't want to get pounded again.
So they're perfectly content to sit on the sideline and let the Americans wage.
Argentina strikes again guys you have to understand if you're playing against Argentina
You have to do double the amount of goals
Okay, first goal always gets first goal always gets eliminated by FIFA then the second goal they have to literally
Recognize the third girl delete it again fourth goal will be recognized. That's just how it is you have to do
You have to double up in your scoring
And then you have to be extra careful, because there's also the other side of it, because
when it's 1-0, if you don't actually get it up to 2-0, in the last second they will also
find a penalty for Messi. If you get an Argentinian player in the box, it's going to be a penalty.
I'm calling it. I'm not jinxing it. Stop being superstitious. I'm just telling you is pre-watch
piker. Okay. I don't even need to know that much about football to understand how Infantino's
operation works, okay? Take off the jersey, okay, calm down.
This tit for tat strategy. The other issue is that the accuracy of the
Iranian missiles and drones has increased exponentially from the inception of the conflict
back to the 40-day conflict, largely because I think they're using, or assume they're
using Chinese and perhaps Russian satellite systems.
Yeah, it's not just the accuracy, Chris.
It's also the missiles, in many cases, many of the ballistic missiles can maneuver as
they're coming down toward the target, and that enables them to dodge or avoid the missile
defense systems that the Gulf States and Israel have.
And I think maybe most important of all, it appears that both the Chinese and the Russians
are supplying Iran with excellent intelligence as to where the key targets are.
So in other words, it's not just the accuracy.
It's not just that they can put these missiles in the pickle barrel.
It's also the fact that they know which pickle barrels to hit because either the Russians
or the Chinese or both of them are providing them with excellent intelligence and you know
the maneuverability, the accuracy that you mentioned and the intelligence information
you combine all those things with the fact that they have ballistic missiles that have
powerful warheads and you can see where they can do one heck of a lot of damage and they
are doing one heck of a lot of damage and again we don't want to underestimate that
they're promising to do even more damage and when you see what they have done up to now
and you think about the promises,
you begin to say, these are credible promises.
And this is why at the start of the show,
I was saying to you that I think
that this is why President Trump
did not go after civilian infrastructure last night.
And why he, and I wanna underline the word might,
might not go after civilian infrastructure this coming week.
Although as you pointed out, he is flailing around.
And I think your use of the word flailing
is exactly the right word.
He is flailing around.
and he is in desperate straits, so nobody knows for sure
what he might do this week.
But it does seem that if basic deterrence strategy
or basic deterrence logic kicks in,
that he probably won't go up the escalation ladder this week.
How much damage has Iran inflicted on US bases
in the region when it's all classified,
so we're kind of groping?
Well, it's quite clear from what you read
in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal,
And these are newspapers that are deeply dedicated
to the American cost.
It's not like these are pro-Iranian newspapers,
but it's quite clear what you read from these newspapers
that we have suffered an enormous amount of damage
on our bases.
Usually, the rhetoric in these newspapers
is that almost all of the bases have been either badly
damaged or destroyed.
And of course, the Iranians have continued
to go after those bases in places like Kuwait and Bahrain.
The fifth naval headquarters are at Bahrain,
and the Iranians have continued to pound those headquarters,
and that naval base more generally.
They've continued to bomb all sorts of US targets in Kuwait.
Now, very importantly, Chris, just recently,
we started bombing Jordan.
And the question you want to ask yourself
is, why are we now bombing Jordan
when we hadn't been bombing Jordan for most of the war?
you mean Iran? Iran is bombing Jordan. Yes, I'm sorry. Sorry. Iran is bombing Jordan.
Why is Iran bombing Jordan? And the answer is...
Oops. My book said we.
Oops. A mistake.
A mistake that I also try not to make.
You can tell you can tell which side this man is on by his shea smirk look at him
Look at him doing the shea smirk
Even Chris is doing the shea smirk a little bit, a little baby shea smirk from Chris.
The answer is that we have moved lots of military assets to Jordan because they are so vulnerable
in places like Kuwait, Bahrain, the UAE, and so forth and so on.
So Jordan has become an important staging area.
Well, the Iranians responded by going after U.S. targets in Jordan.
And this is why they ended up killing two American servicemen.
They've also, it appears, wounded many other American servicemen.
They've attacked one base and destroyed a significant number of Black Hawk helicopters.
And they have attacked the main U.S. air base in Jordan as well.
They are our man, Chris is resting bureaucrat face.
Yes.
He has resting poet bureau phase, which is funny cause he hates the USSR, but.
But he would be, he would be like the, the secretary of agriculture in some far
away, a blast in the USSR.
You know what I mean?
He really does look like that.
Do not give this man bad news from the production line, yes.
I'm glad that it is five minutes, not rooting for Messi, but just because I like the drama.
No, end it. End it now. End it now.
To continue those attacks on Jordan. And what the Iranians are basically saying, there is no place to hide.
Wherever you go, we're coming after you. And you want to understand that we have a lethal missile and drone force.
force, and we will use that force in very effective ways.
And they have demonstrated quite clearly that they have that capability.
One of the air attacks have been concentrated in southern Iran, and there's been speculation
that this is because the United States is considering seizing parts of Iranian territory,
some of the islands, perhaps Kharg Island, I don't know how they would do it.
I guess they would have to do it by air.
I'm not sure how that would work.
Certainly, they can't do it by ship.
I think the boxer is their amphibious.
And that's, what, 200 miles away or something?
But how do you see that as a possibility and how it play out?
Well, I'll make a couple points, Chris.
First of all, you have to ask yourself,
how many combat troops?
Here we're talking mainly about infantry and Marines,
US Army infantry and Marines.
Combat troops, people that you can use
for an amphibious operation.
How many troops of that sort do we have in the Gulf?
Now, you'll see in the media, people
say there are 50,000 American troops in the region.
That's true.
Those 50,000 troops are not all combat troops.
And in my opinion, almost, well, most of them
are not combat troops.
My guess is that there are at the most 8,000 marines
and army troops from the 82nd Airborne in the region.
about 8,000 combat troops at most.
What are you going to do with 8,000 troops?
It's a tiny number of troops.
If you're seriously talking about invading a country
like Iran that has 93 million people,
a formidable military, represents
a huge piece of real estate, I mean,
this is a big territory that it covers,
has forbidding terrain, what are you
going to do with 8,000 troops?
Not only do you have to invade with those 8,000 troops,
You have to sustain them, and then you have to reinforce them.
This is just not in the cards.
And if you listen to President Trump talk, he says that it's not going to be American
ground troops that do the invading.
It's other troops from the region that are going to do the invading, the ground operation.
Hold.
It's so funny that most of the chat is second screening the game.
And then there's like people that are in Maine that are like, bro, Troy Jackson basically
clinched up.
The Troy Jackson is going to be the fucking candidate in Maine.
No one is listening to Professor, Professor Goetheimer, okay.
It's crazy.
And on that note, ladies and gentlemen.
Ladies and gentlemen!
VARGENTINA
Ladies and gentlemen, boys, girls, and MBS,
it gives me great pleasure to inform you that
VARGENTINA
Infantino has been vanquished.
Espanja is the champion, one nil.
Spain won.
This is not just a victory for Spain.
This is not just a defeat for Argentina and FIFA as an institution, but this is a defeat
for Israel as well.
Make no mistake, not only because their flags have the same color scheme, but also because
Israel took ownership over Argentina's victories, and specifically, Lionel Messi.
And today of all days, the entire world celebrates.
I'm sorry, but this foe had to have been vanquished for the rest of the world, okay?
You might say, oh, Spain is a colonizer.
You might say, all studies show that Lionel Messi fans are more likely to be on the right
side of history.
But let's be real.
Once Israel got involved, I was already partial.
I was already a little biased because of the Amal waving the Palestinian flag.
But once Israel laid their stake, laid their claim on Argentina's performance, I'm sorry.
From that point on, it was only a matter of time until Spain would vanquish this foe.
We're at level three hype train folks and if we get to level ten hype train in honor
of Spain. I will play. Somos Charlie Kirk. We are Charlie Kirk, Espanol version. Okay,
that's right. Subscribe to the Plyger Broadcasting Service, folks. The People's Broadcasting
service for tomorrow's news today. If we get to level 10 on the hype train, we're already
at level 5. I will be carrying the flame once more. I have yet to carry the flame in the
the last couple of weeks or not in the last couple of weeks, but in the last couple of
days.
Just be sure it's Spain, Spanish and not South America Spanish.
I don't know about all that.
That's too much.
You two expert level for me, no hablo espanol, no hablo espanol, mayamo charlos, mayamo
Carlos here, gay level six, I've trained.
As a Latino colonized by Spain, fuck Argentina.
Yeah, this is, uh, I want to get a reading of this in Latin America amongst the, uh,
Latin, um, chatters.
I know that many of you feel some type of way about Spain, but you hate
Argentina more, right?
At least in my experience, like most people that I've encountered from South
America, the Argentina is the number one enemy of South America, the rest of South
America, like they will literally, they'll be like, yeah, Spain, Spain, you know,
It's been his old shit.
Second order, humiliation.
Lemma out.
Trump needs to hand the trophy to the country he's been freaking out about and trying to
say, should ever since the start of this dumbass war, yeah, that actually is adding insult
to injury.
But what's insulting is we're only at level seven on the hype train.
three more levels until we carry the flame ladies and gentlemen also something
awesome happened for the record I show speed performed as song champions
during the 2026 FIFA World Cup closing ceremony I don't know if I want to watch
this in risk getting a ban here but it makes me really happy to see that he
also specifically wore his like double like he's his quadruple jersey or
whatever because he doesn't want to curse the team that he actually wants to win.
He obviously was also rooting for Spain as well.
Almost done with level seven hype train.
Ladies and gentlemen, about to hit level eight hype train.
98% of level seven hype train.
He said, wait, someone in the chat said, someone in the chat said,
So one of the things is Spain literally colonizes, but I have so much more smoke for South Germany, Argentina
Hello as your Afro-Latina mod
We all hate Argentina more because they are the most racist and dumbest motherfuckers in all of Latin
They literally go out of their way to claim whiteness by claiming their superior to other Latin American people
I literally had an Argentine girl in college say she was a good Latina and not an ugly hairy Mexican
Yeah, alright, that's that's the that's the vibes I've gotten as well
Which is strange because like
I mean, there's a lot of memes it's just I I'm
I'm of two different minds on this because on the one hand I like I do feel bad because they're stuck with Javier Malay
Their currency is is worthless the entire country is out of a job
So this is like the only thing that they're rooting for
It's funny because Uruguay is wider than Argentina and they get none of the smoke
Yeah, because Argentina is like established as a as a outwardly
racist outwardly, why supremacist country?
Yeah, Uruguay is chill level 8 hype train ladies and gentlemen only two more levels remaining level 8 hype train at 48%
It's Amy
It's Amy with a Y. Thank you for the five gifted subs at level 10 hype train. We will celebrate
I mean, I understand why he feels this way because he was specifically victim to Argentinian
hate crimes during the entire process.
Like think about it this way.
This man is so beloved is probably the best thing FIFA did was associate themselves with
show speed. Let's be real. He was welcomed at every game. He was allowed to stream the
games from the sideline, you know, from the stands. He was allowed to show support. He
literally did the halftime show. And the Argentina fans spat on him, called him the N word, told
him to go back to his country, which is ironic because he's in his country. Whereas the Argentinians
are not like they dumped drinks on them and shit.
Level eight hype train at one minute remaining ladies and gentlemen at 70%.
You cannot feel bad about this. Oh, yeah, Argentinian voter, the classic. I voted for Javier Malay and now I can't afford rent
I'll either vote for Malay again, or I'll leave the country, but I'll still never vote for the socialist
Yeah, classic
Argentina football fans at a rally spot right by Schmooley an active supporter of genocide
and immediately break in the chance of free Palestine free Palestine.
Thugs recognized me and Argentina rally started attacking.
Bro, this is literally yo, this is literally pro Argentina propaganda.
I swear to God.
You ain't slick.
You ain't slick.
You ain't slick.
You ain't slick.
You ain't slick.
the Macy is you are not slick motherfucker. Level nine, hydrant, only one more level remaining.
Yeah, he literally says Malay doesn't love Israel,
which goes to show these dudes don't even know their own president. It's like there,
It's like a Trump supporter saying like oh Trump doesn't love Israel. What are you talking about many such cases?
When was be spat on they had like drinks dumped on him did he not?
Did what did that happen to speed today? You say no no no I don't know if it happened today
Um level 9 high trend at 28 remaining
Level 9 I've trained at 28% 29% three minutes remaining
Yeah, it was the racist Argentinian fan incident literally made it to a FIFA investigation and made its way to the New York Times for those of you
Don't know
Yeah, FIFA investigating alleged racist abuse involving I show speed supporter. I show speed and supporter at God damn it. Come on.
Fuck.
God, I can't do it.
For the record.
You are literally anti-Argentina propaganda. What do you mean? We're fucking poor. What propaganda can we afford?
Google fucking jujuay and see our country really is Google some more before you speak of a third world country.
I will say this.
Every country has its chuds. The problem is the only people that have money that are from Argentina
that are capable of traveling around the world happen to be the fucking worst chuds.
That's it. Obviously, not everyone in Argentina is like this.
And for the record, there's no, there's no like poor being poor magically makes you less
razor some shit.
That's not how it works.
And no country is like entirely racist.
All I'm saying is, look, no matter what happens, as far as football goats goes, Argentina will
always have Maradona. Okay. And as far as goats straight up across the board, you will
always have J. Guevara. Okay. J. Guevara is one of the best people of all time. So no
matter what happens, at least you have those two. You have one in the football side. We
more than one in the football side, but specifically the Maradona for his, uh, you know, political
opinions back in the day, which is the fucking reversal of Leonel Messi. Ironically enough.
Oh my god 10 seconds remaining at 90% 10 seconds remaining. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god
Will we make it will we make it hold 97%? Oh my god 99% I didn't even realize it's happening
We're carrying the fucking flame!
Somos Charlie Kirk!
And he said the truth when the price was high
He lived for Jesus without fear of dying
We are Charlie King
We took the key
We will fight for the Gospel and we will honor your name
We are Charlie King

This is a RGG in Cumbia. Okay, it's also Charlie Kurt.
Okay
Oh
Oh, yeah.
It's official.
U.S. official to Washington Post, the U.S. is planning for a wider war, which Charlie Kirk would have loved.
Let's be real, Charlie Kirk would have loved a wider war.
Although he spent a good deal of time criticizing Lindsey Graham and the like, he would have
had a great time defending this current iteration of the war as long as Trump demanded him to
do so.
And finally, after numerous days of refusing, refusing to carry the flame, we're back to
carrying the flame once again.
All right, let's get back to Goat Shimer versus Chris Hedges now.
So I scratch my head to say, well, who is that?
Are they going to send in the IDF?
No, I mean, they're bogged down in Southern Lebanon
and the Israelis are too smart and fade or ran.
That's not going to happen.
So who's going to do it?
And it looks like if anybody,
it's going to be the Kurds coming out of Iraq
who invade Iran, but the Kurds are not going to do that
unless they're crazy.
And if they do invade, it's not going to have any meaningful consequence.
The Kurds are our ground force option.
This is not serious.
Eight thousand troops in the region are a ground force option.
I don't think so.
Furthermore, if President Trump were foolish enough to try and seize an island or to land
somewhere on the coastline of Iran, many American soldiers would die.
This would be a highly dangerous operation.
Iranians would go to great lengths to retaliate and drive those American forces off the beaches.
And the question you have to ask yourself is, what does the cost benefit
analysis look like for President Trump? There'd be zero benefit, right? What is he going to gain
by invading an island or, you know, establishing a beachhead on the Iranian coast? What are the
gains from that? I don't see any. And the cost, the cost is that many Americans will die and what
almost everybody will see, has a feudal military operation, and he'll pay an even greater political
price. Yeah. Considering that there is no way to reassert military dominance over Iran as it stands
currently, and considering the reality that every day that goes on, every day that continues,
Every day this war wages on is worse for America overall, worse for the rest of the globe overall.
There's nothing that they can do about it. There's nothing, they're going to keep risking bigger and
more military assets, they're gonna keep risking bigger actions, they're gonna
keep risking more military assets, and potentially put more troops at lives,
troops lives at risk as well for that. So why would he do that? So I don't see any
ground force option. You know Chris, just to elevate for a second here, we started
with a strategic bombing. The only way would be ground invasion if that's not
happening, dude, dude. There's no guarantee that the ground invasion would
actually hold either. Because in order to actually do a successful ground invasion, you can't
just like invade militarily the coastline of Iran or the islands of Iran, right? You
have to literally, you have to invade the rest of Iran too at some point. And in order
to do that, we don't have the sufficient number of troops amassed or even drafted to be able
to militarily dominate and engage in a permanent military occupation over the entire Iranian
nation-state, it's just not going to happen.
And as far as the current predicament, there's no supply line to Kesham Island, there's no
supply line to Kargalin, even if they were to defeat the conventional force on the ground,
They would not be able to establish a supply chain with any of the military bases in the
region because Iran has been destroying those military bases with ease.
So it's all fucked.
Campaign.
That lasted 40 days.
It failed.
We were running out of munitions and despite all the talk about all the damage we were
doing to Iran's missile and drone capability, that proved not to be true.
So we quit after 40 days.
Then we went to the blockade.
That lasted just a little over two months, and then we quit when we signed the Memorandum
of Understanding because the blockade didn't work.
Then Trump welched on the deal on the June 17th Memorandum of Understanding, and we started
engaging in this tit-for-tat war, which we're now involved in.
And that's not working, as we've just talked about.
That's not working.
The one thing we haven't done, oh, by the way, we have actually reinstituted our blockade.
We're back to the Maritime Blockade as well,
which didn't work last time.
But on July 14th, President Trump
reinstituted the Naval Blockade.
So we have that at play now with the tit for tat.
But it looks like the tit for tat's not working out
very well as we talked.
So people are now talking about using land power.
We've used air power, we've used naval power.
That didn't work.
Let's use land power.
This is not a serious auction.
If it was a serious...
As much as I dislike Kirkman,
he didn't want the Iran War.
I know. I know. But it doesn't matter. He didn't like fucking Jeffrey Epstein either.
But he shut the fuck up real quick when Donald Trump made the boss call. If you think Charlie
Kirk wouldn't be spending every damn day, he was still alive. If you think he wouldn't
be defending being one of the, if you think he wouldn't be spending every damn day defending
uh... the the iran war
your delusional
charlie curc's primary goal was to be the regime propagandist on the independent
media side okay option would try to go on time ago
we didn't try to go on time ago because it
doesn't stand any chance of working
the point is chris we have no military option here
this is why trump signed the june seventeenth m o u because we had no
option
the iranians were winning the war
and then the question you have to ask yourself is
have the dynamics changed since then is there evidence that
the united states has turned the tide and that we now have
found the theory of victory
the answer is clearly no
unless you and i are missing something and they have some secret strategy in
mind that they haven't told us about and i don't think that's the case
isn't there always a temptation go back to lbj in the vietnam war
uh... when it was clear and it was clear fairly early on in the vietnam war
uh... that vietnam's
was in serious trouble, then you get the heavy bombing campaign of North America.
This fantasy that the escalation of force is going to solve your problem has been characteristic
of these imperial adventures in Iraq, Afghanistan, and as I said earlier in Vietnam, although
it's not tethered to reality.
Well, a couple points on Vietnam.
First of all, there's no question that the Johnson administration, starting in March
of 65, March of 65 is when the bombing campaign began, big time.
This is rolling thunder.
And then shortly thereafter, we put combat troops, this is on March 8th, 65, we put combat
troops for the first time into Vietnam.
And we escalated and escalated up until March 31st of 1968.
remember very well that that's when LBJ who was the president said that he was
not gonna run for another term he was clearly a defeated man guys I can't watch
the World Cup are you kidding me I can't I can't watch the World Cup ceremony I
don't want to get fucking chatters we cannot watch anything FIFA related okay
You understand that right?
You understand that right like there's nothing we can watch FIFA related. Yes. I saw that. I'm in this Israel
Yes, Israel put me in a fucking AI ad
That played during the World Cup I know I'm gonna get to it
I there's so much real news to cover that I can't it's getting to a degree it's getting to a point where like
Like, like, real politics, like John Fetterman threatening to leave the Democratic Party because of me, is now drama in comparison to like what I need to cover, which is real shit taking place, you know, America's possible military invasion of Iran, like, and the same goes for, like, back in the day, a year ago, two years ago, three years ago, if there was a AI ad, that a foreign adversary or a foreign country made of me,
I would cover that for like an hour. There'd be a huge story for me and it has happened already. Russia did it first
Literally Russia did this already Russia called me a homosexual twitch streamer
Who likes posing in front of nice cars as opposed to the brave Russian?
Military operative who dies in the fucking front lines in the greatest village of all time
Yeah, Russia did that to me years ago and now Israel is doing it as well
So, it's not, I don't know, I just don't have the fucking bandwidth anymore, man.
Yeah, they said I drink banana smoothies as a homosexual Twitch streamer who likes wearing
a lot of jewelry and posing in front of nice cars.
we had failed. It's very important to understand that all along the way, from March 65 up until
68, the key decision makers, including Johnson himself, did not have a lot of faith in the
military option that we were pursuing. They were desperate, but they were well aware that
there were tremendous limits to what we could do against the North Vietnamese and the Viet
with military force. They were not wildly optimistic. Nevertheless, they escalated.
And I think that you see a similar situation here. I think after the initial bombing campaign
failed, after about two weeks, we understood that we were in a very difficult position.
I believe that we will eventually discover that the key policymakers inside the administration
administration understood pretty early in this war that we did not have a good military
option. Nevertheless, we've escalated. And this is exactly what happened in Viet-Mam.
There's no question that the leaders understood that we did not have a good military option,
but they escalated. And as you remember, we ended up with about 530,000 combat troops
in Vietnam. Just think about that. 530,000 combat troops in Vietnam by March of 1968
Johnson decided that the war was a loss of cause and he stopped the bombing
campaign. Of course Nixon and Kissinger then came in and they thought that maybe
they could find a way to win the war. Nixon said that he had this secret plan
to get out of the war but not really what he really wanted to do was see if he
could greatly reduce the American military commitment and we could still
win the war. But of course that didn't happen. And we were forced to quit, just like that
was in 72, of course, we quit. And what happened with Johnson is he quit in 68. And if you
look at Trump and what happened, he quit once on June 17. And I think what's going to happen
here is he's going to be forced to quit again, not altogether unlike what happened in Vietnam.
Again, Johnson wanted to quit March 68, and Nixon was eventually forced to quit at the
the end of 72. We just had no military strategy for winning against Vietnam. We had no military
strategy for winning in Afghanistan. We had no military strategy for winning in Iraq.
I mean, with the exception of World War II, where it became an existential threat, especially
for the USSR and all of the other countries that were being dominated militarily by the
Nazis, there's a reason why America has never really seen a victory since then. Because until
it becomes an existential war, there's no reason for, like, America's ambitions are never going to be
fully realized. And even World War II, if you look at it from that reductive approach, was existential
for other countries, not necessarily the United States of America.
Even though the United States of America obviously was a pivotal ally, I'm not, you know, I'm not taking away from that.
But I think simply put, people fight till their last dying breath if they have something to lose.
I mean, the first Gulf War was successful.
I don't even bring that up because that's not real.
You know, it's like saying Granada, the Granada invasion, you know?
Like America has had a lot of successful
Operations, especially covert ones like the CIA has really carried American imperialism for the last
almost hundred years.
I'm talking like a real war, you know what I mean? Not not that that doesn't
Like that that we're attacking our own asset at that point. It just seems
It just seems silly
To bring that up
It's like saying Venezuela was a war that we won, you know
This on the other hand, like what's going on against Iran Iran is a middle power, right?
Iran is a middle power, but it's a regional power nonetheless
What happens to be a very important region for the rest of the world?
Okay, Iran controls a critical route that 20% of the world's oil and gas goes through
So, even as a middle power or honest capable of making America suffer, making the rest
of the world suffer and therefore making America suffer.
And at some point we have to realize that America doesn't fight wars to win them.
America fights wars to continue those wars.
fights wars for key sectors in its economy. But in this circumstance, America has to win.
And because it's incapable of winning, you arrive at this endless military quagmire.
All of the other failed wars that were long-lasting, 20-year occupations, all of those initiatives,
they did not have a compounding effect on the rest of the world. They did not end up damaging
the world's energy infrastructure. They did not end up creating economic issues for the rest of
the world, right? 20 years in Vietnam. Sure, it has regional effects, but it doesn't impact
Europe. The global war on terror has some consequence for Europe, refugee crisis. But
ultimately, most of the oil fields remain intact. They exchange ownership. They're
sold off to Western oil and gas companies. And it's actually decent for that. It's actually
good for the American oil and gas industry. They don't even stop selling oil in Iraq to
China. They continue selling oil to China. It's just now the people that are profiting
are not the Iraqi people or the Iraqi government necessarily, but instead Western companies.
This is different. I've been saying that from the first day onward. This is different because
the rest of the world is suffering now, is suffering directly due to American intervention.
And there's only so much suffering that America can get other people on board with until they
start to push back.
In the military strategy for winning here, but your point is that once you get into these
things, very hard to get out.
No question.
And you look for ways to escalate and it's kind of like a wing and a prayer, you know,
maybe something will happen that we don't foresee.
And if we just double down, maybe, you know, we'll be lucky.
And I think there's just a lot of that going on.
I think that's what President Trump was thinking after June 17th.
He figured that memorandum of understanding I signed, it's a surrender document.
I really don't like it.
I'm sure the Israelis and the Israel lobby and the Neoconservatives and the Hawks in
the United States were telling him he made a mistake signing that June 17th MOU.
And he probably said, let's try something else.
Maybe if I go back to putting pressure on the Iranians, I can get them to cut a deal.
And here we are.
But again, there is no deal to be had, just as there was no deal to be had in Vietnam.
If you took five of the smartest strategists in the United States, and you could ramp back
in a time machine to March of 1965, and you told those five strategists, it's your responsibility
to come up with a brilliant strategy to win the Vietnam War, the end result would be the
same.
And if they were really brilliant strategists, they would have told LBJ not to go in.
And if he had nevertheless gone in, they would have told him to immediately get out.
because there was no way to win the Vietnam War.
We had no theory of victory.
And again, I think that most of the policy makers
at the time understood that.
Well, who's advising Trump?
That's the question.
He doesn't have a McNamara,
whatever you think of McNamara, he was.
Who's advising Trump?
Benjamin Netanyahu.
That's clear to me.
I don't know if that's far fetched to say,
but Benjamin Nynh Yau Foundation for Defending Democracy
and numerous other Israel firsters
that are in his immediate vicinity,
that's who's advising him.
It used to be Lindsey Graham and he's dead now,
but his spirit still remains in the room.
competent although of course let us into disaster in Vietnam but that's the question.
He's surrounded by sycophants and people like Stephen Miller, I don't know if Miller is
involved in this but of course he has no military training and Trump seems to be able just to
decide unilaterally.
I mean Congress did pass a resolution with Republican support saying any more strikes
in Iran had to be cleared through Congress, that of course Trump has just blithely ignored.
Well, it's very hard to say who exactly is whispering in his ear.
And it's also hard to say whether he listens to anybody.
It seems from the outside that the key force for restraint, the person who was sort of
acting like McNamara, and just to be clear, McNamara figured out quite quickly that we
had no winning strategy in Vietnam.
He did not act this way when he spoke publicly.
He was full of confidence when he talked publicly about the war, but it's quite clear now that
behind closed doors, he understood that we just did not have a winning strategy.
And I think if there's anybody in the administration who fits that bill, it's JD Vance.
It's quite...
That's big fucking wrong.
No.
Okay.
We found it.
Area of disagreement with the GOAT.
Hate to see it happen like this, but I vehemently disagree with my goat.
Goat Shimer is wrong.
JD Vance is not a reliable advisor to Donald Trump.
Okay.
JD Vance is a non-entity in the room.
JD Vance is the careerist.
JD Vance is simply a placeholder so that Donald Trump can continue taking advantage of the
techno feudalist fascist billionaires that see JD Vance as their guy in the room, specifically
Peter Thiel.
Trump does not like JD Vance.
JD Vance is a surrogate for Peter Thiel.
Trump understands that.
And JD Vance has no capabilities of influence in the room, especially considering, especially
considering
Dude, what the fuck's going on with Twitter?
Twitter's been going crazy.
clear that Vance was hardly enthusiastic about this war to begin with. He had real doubts and
it appears that he advised against it and he has been the point. No, no, no, no, no, no, I don't
agree with this. JD Vance is an empty suit. JD Vance does not have a real ideological position
on this war, this is complete hokum. Sorry. That is not real. JD Vance is not an anti-interventionist.
JD Vance is not anti-war with Iran. JD Vance is simply positioning himself as that
because he has further ambitions. He has ambitions for higher office. He can read the room a little
bit. But of course, he is incapable. He doesn't have a consistent stance on this. You can see it.
Yeah, Chris Hedges, his response is my response. Okay. That's how I feel about this take.
I mean, you can hear it with JD Vance's own words with what he tries to leak to the media,
presenting himself as like being an opposition to the Iran war. But, but clearly when he's in the
room, he's like, oh, we got to go bigger, go home. All of this stuff is, is bullshit. He's a flip-flopper
and he's not being serious. He's not sincere. I don't, I don't believe J.D. Vance actually has a
a different opinion. Most people also hate him for this reason because he's not consistent.
man for dealing with the Iranians. I mean, he is the person who met with the Iranians
with regard to getting the 17 June MOU in place. So it looks like Vance is the person
who is telling Trump that it makes sense to cut a deal here. And as we all know,
He refused to leave again? No. No.
That's crazy. It's especially crazy to do this to Spain, a country that he fucking hates, by the way.
God, he's such a fucking loser.
At least he's on the edge so it'll be easier to fucking edit him out. You know what I mean?
He's got to be he's got to ruin everything man. He's got to ruin everything. Everything he touches
dies. Vance is basically said publicly that he thinks that the Israelis and their supporters in
the United States have been going to great lengths to sabotage the 17th June MOU and
any future negotiations that might put an end to this conflict.
So Vance looks like one person who's pushing in the right direction.
I don't know what to make of Whitcuff and Kushner.
I wouldn't be surprised if Whitcuff was telling him pretty much the same thing that Vance is.
I would guess that Rubio is saying exactly the opposite.
You want to remember, Chris, that what Rubio and Vance say on this issue has significant
implications for their chances of being the Republican presidential candidate in 2028.
I'm sure Vance understands that by being appointed the point man in dealing with the
Iranians and working to negotiate a deal with the Iranians, Vance is not going to endear
himself to the Israel lobby and to the hawks in the United States, and they will go to
great lengths to make sure that Rubio, not Vance, is the Republican candidate in
2028. Viewers should remember that when President Trump was thinking about appointing
a vice president for his 2024 run, the two choices were Rubio and Vance. And Vance
barely won because there was a huge amount of pressure from people like
Rubin Murdoch to make Rubio the vice presidential candidate. But Vance won out
in the end. And these two individuals will surely be in a head-to-head
competition for the 2028 nomination of the Republican Party.
I'm, dude, I, like, J.D. Vance doesn't have a position. J.D. Vance does not have a real
position. J.D. Vance is a surrogate for Peter Thiel, and I don't think Peter Thiel has a
real commitment to ending this war anyway. The only reason why J.D. Vance is positioning
himself as an advocate for isolationism is because he's positioning himself for what
comes after. Okay? It's just empty. It's just empty posturing that's all this is.
So not only does he not have a real opinion, he is incapable of having a real opinion.
That's not his goal. His goal is to be an empty vessel for whatever Peter Thiel wants,
But also, but also on top of that, like even if he had, even if Peter Thiel was like, oh,
I want you to be anti-war, I don't think he would have a lot of motion in that room.
I just don't think that Donald Trump gives a fuck one way or another what JD Vance thinks.
Donald Trump is aware that JD Vance is, Donald Trump is aware that JD Vance is a Peter Thiel
blood boy. He's in the room because Donald Trump wants to maintain favorable posture with the likes
of Peter Thiel and the techno feudalists for one reason or another. I don't know if that's the
smart calculation for him or whatever the fuck it is, but clearly that's his goal, right?
For the presidency. And I think how the two of them act on this whole subject of dealing with
Iran and working on a memorandum of understanding really matters for that purpose.
I don't think it's any surprise that you don't see Rubio, Marco Rubio, deeply involved
in dealing with the Iranians.
He surely understands who's buttering his bread, and he's trying to stay as far away
as he can from getting involved in those negotiations.
And of course, from his point of view, it's advantageous that it's Vance who is involved.
But I do think Vance understands that we cannot win this war, that we have to cut a deal.
And then from his point of view, but I think more importantly from Trump's point of view,
I think Vance believes that from Trump's point of view, the best thing that could happen
here is just to cut a deal and put an end to this, except the fact that we've lost and
walk away.
How much time do we have left before the global economy craters?
It's already pretty stressed out the shortages of cooking oil.
Because Rubio is running Venezuela. I already explained this to you. Marco Rubio's goal is to be the vice-suroy of all Latin American operations.
It's a much cushier job. It's a much easier job. JD Vance is on janitorial duty over in the fucking Iran fiasco.
That tells you how Donald Trump treats both of these individuals. That tells you what Donald Trump thinks of either of these guys.
Donald Trump doesn't fuck with JD Vance. If he did, he wouldn't be holding him responsible for, you know, his failures in Iran.
He sent his ass out there to make him hold that L, the MOU, and the fact that the Memorandum of Understanding
would not work out. He knew full well that he had no intentions of
creating a permanent and resilient peace.
He just sent JD out there.
I mean, probably JD also understands that that wasn't going to happen regardless, but it looks good for him
He can position himself as like someone who was trying to keep the peace
And and unfortunately failed to do so because Iran was just not interested in negotiations or whatever, you know
in India fertilizer
Helium for microchips. I had read before the memorandum of understanding that some economists were saying by July
that if there wasn't an opening of the strait that we could head for global
depression. As I mentioned in the introduction, the strategic reserves
have been heavily depleted and not just in the United States, countries like
Japan as well. How much more time do we have? Let me tell you how I read the oil
situation. I think what's happened is that with a set of workarounds we have
have been pretty successful at minimizing the damage that has been done so far.
And there are three major workarounds that I see.
First is I told you before of the 20 million barrels that used to come out of the Gulf,
seven million are actually still coming out.
So when people say that the fall of oil out of the Gulf has been completely cut off, those
20 million barrels have been completely cut off, that's not true.
million are coming out through Yanbu and Fujairah, Yanbu and Saudi Arabian Fujairah
and the UAE. And furthermore, as you know, the canal has been, I mean, the strait has
been opened up at different points. And some ships have come out when that strait was opened
up, including Iranian ships. So the 20 million barrels have not completely disappeared.
That's one point you want to keep in mind.
The second point is, and this is quite remarkable, the Chinese have greatly reduced their demand
for oil by about five million barrels a day.
It's amazing how they've done that and how they've done it, we're not sure.
Yes, we are.
We are sure.
because they no longer have the same reliance for oil and gas, and they just maintain the
strategic petroleum reserves partially because they want to, at the end of the day, keep
the market stable, and they're using it right now. It gives them tremendous leverage as
a major buyer, especially in moments like this. But also, the only reason why they're
capable of doing this is because of green energy. They've electrified their grid. They use renewable
energy in their infrastructure. Okay, the reason why, this is another area where I have disagreement
with my goat, where he is far too much of a China hawk. He's definitely gotten a lot better
in like the last decade or so, but I think goat shimmer has always been Mr. Offensive Realism,
and he's always had a very negative approach to China. So I think that's clouding his perspective
a little bit. The fact is that yeah, they have massive oil reserves. They've been using more coal
because they always had that infrastructure. But a big part of the, a big part of the reason
why they don't have to offset that and can just like kick colon is because most of their, most of
of their energy grid, a big chunk of their energy grid also has renewable energy.
The Chinese demand for oil has gone down 5 million barrels.
So when we talk about those 20 million barrels coming out, there's 5 million, right, 5 million
that are not needed because the Chinese have reduced their demand, and there's 7 million
that are coming out from the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
And then, getting back to what you were mentioning,
there's all that oil that's been released
from the strategic reserve.
And that adds up to another maybe 3 million barrels a day,
as best I can tell.
So when you add all these things together,
you can see that we have been able to weather the crisis
and the Gulf reasonably well up to now.
Now, what scares people is that the strategic petroleum
reserve is running down, and we're running out of oil that's available in that strategic
reserve to float into world oil markets.
Furthermore, there is the danger, as I was talking about before, that Fujairah and Yan
Bu will be completely shut down, and then there'll be no oil, or hardly any oil, coming
out of the Gulf.
And then there's the Chinese demand for oil, which is the wild card.
What if the Chinese all of a sudden decide that they need more oil?
And the demand for oil from China begins to go back where it was on February 27th.
If those three things happen, then you're in deep trouble.
But it's hard at this point to say exactly how this plays itself out.
I mean, for example, if President Trump continues to tit for tat campaign this coming week,
and he doesn't go after Iranian infrastructure in the process, he doesn't go after Iranian
bridges and power capabilities or power stations, then maybe the Iranians will not shut down
the Red Sea, and maybe oil will start to come out of Fujairah, or will continue to come
out of Fujairah.
I'm not sure whether Fujairah is completely shut down at this point.
And that really matters for the overall question of oil supply, and then what the Chinese do
is just very hard to say.
So all of this is to say, we're in a sense flying blind here.
I mean, really, it sounds like there are two roads that we can take.
One, if the United States does continue to attack infrastructure, we are headed for a
humanitarian disaster in the Gulf.
If it doesn't, then it leaves open the possibility of some kind of a negotiated settlement that
is even more advantageous to Iran in the memorandum of understanding.
Are those the two kind of scenarios that face us?
Yeah, I think that's right.
I mean, I don't, yeah.
I think this is major leverage for China.
It's a great opportunity for them to engage in soft power.
They also kind of have to do it once again
because they need stability for their development.
They have their own domestic economic problems
if they can't consistently produce commodities
for other countries, also in the Asian market as well.
And if their economy's tank,
then the Chinese economy is going to feel it too.
And that's part of the reason why they once again,
bailed the United States of America out.
They don't make risky plays.
This is not how they operate.
And that's it.
Yeah, they want the straight-of-the-horn moves to open.
Obviously, they need the same precursory chemicals
that are coming out of the Gulf, right?
Even if they don't have the same level of reliance
on like oil and gas,
maybe they can swap out their energy grid for coal,
which they're going back to, sure.
And they've also reduced their reliance on fossil fuels
overall with their renewable energy grid.
This is a opportunity to maintain stability,
generate some goodwill,
and also it gives them tremendous leverage
is once they fucking increase their purchase again,
they could just explode the markets.
Prices would skyrocket instantly.
It would give America less rope to hold on to.
I don't see a land invasion as feasible
or as turning the tide.
I don't think we have any meaningful theory of victory
at this point in time.
And I think what's happening here is that we have this tit-for-tat strategy,
or tit-for-tat campaign taking place between the United States and Iran.
And the question is, how does it play itself out?
And I think we'll know a lot a week from now.
Yeah, here's some additional analysis that I want to get into.
One comes from Amos Hoxden.
Uh, this is, uh, the almost hox thing that, uh, worked in the Biden administration.
He was the vice, uh, he was the senior advisor to, uh, to the white house under Joe Brandon.
He is also responsible for a lot.
I mean, he is one of the major figures that was responsible.
He's an IDF veteran, uh, one of the figures, uh, responsible for Biden's, uh,
continuation of Israel's genocide.
Here's what he had to say, as Trump weighs escalation or dealies confronting a harsh reality,
the Russia and Iran fronts are coalescing and the tools to manage the next energy shock
are disappearing week by week.
1. When the Hormuz MOU was announced, transit relief flowed to crude, not diesel, gasoline
or jet fuel.
That gap is now the market's biggest vulnerability.
2. Ukraine's systematic strikes on Russian refiners forced Moscow into a full ban on diesel
exports.
Producers and traders alike, Russia is 11% of the global diesel supply.
I mentioned this as well. Refining margins here in globally aren't record highs. Crack spreads are telling you refined products
Not crude are the real choke point right now
EIA DOE
Itself is now flagging that cushing Oklahoma with the WTI crude delivery point is at tank bottoms
Another thing that I explain to you guys is that once we reach once we reach a certain level
Once we reach a certain level, the strategic petroleum reserves heading below 300 million
barrels, once they reach 150, it's over. Then you start experiencing compounding disaster.
That's the 300 is the red zone, 150 is the limit. Once you reach 150 million barrels on the strategic
petroleum reserves, it's over. It means that the salt caverns could potentially collapse due to
not enough pressure. The shock absorber for the next disruption, and it's almost gone, he says.
Storage bottom near 90 million barrels in June lows since 2014 and has barely rebuilt since China
bought the world time cutting imports by 4.45 million barrels per day at the peak of the shock
and is now reentering the market. Lifting fuel export curbs restocking that cushion may not
be there next time the hormones escalates. Again, the tools that existed in March to SPR headroom,
cushion storage, Chinese demand, destruction are shrinking every week. It's not just the energy,
the 10-year war is near a two-month high at nearly 4.6% and 30-year has traded above 5%
since July 7th. The bond market pricing and exactly the inflation risk this points to.
At the pump, gasoline will likely rise above $4 again in days. Diesel has already recross $5.
dollars, both at or above levels last seen in 2022. Time to cut losses and make a deal.
Markets are holding, but the tools to manage the next crisis are running around and China
may not bail us out again.
The fact that it's almost hox team that's saying this when he is obviously an ideologically,
you know, Zionists, uh, aligned with Israel guy, the fact that this is, this was Biden's
like number one Israel dick writer in the office turning around and actually you know
doing this kind of analysis demanding that the war end is is pretty important I think.
Yeah, he's not only a China hawk but he's obviously super pro Israel. He
He felt pretty sweet about pommeling Gaza and continuing the genocide when there were
no market impacts like this.
I wonder if Israel will join back again.
I don't, I mean, we'll see.
We'll see what happens because they are in some ways more belligerent, but they're also
much more sensitive to retaliation than the Americans are.
die all the time. We throw bodies to the problem with regular frequency. 12,000 US service members
died in the global war on terror so that our petrocapitalist pedophiles could turn tremendous
profits year over year. Obviously, the European continent was destabilized in the process.
We don't give a fuck about what we do to the rest of the world. We don't give a fuck about killing
our people, especially if someone's making money.
Now the problem now is some people are making money, but a lot of people are losing money.
There's too much volatility.
A little bit of volatility is an opportunity to generate greater returns on risky investments,
but too much volatility, too much instability means you can no longer make adequate market
predictions.
Now the super wealthy people, some people might make some money in the process, but
most super wealthy people are not going to make money.
That creates a unique pressure on Donald Trump.
Israel, on the other hand, is far more belligerent
than the United States of America in many respects,
because it constantly fucking wages war with its enemies,
with its neighbors.
However, Israel is also far more sensitive to troop loss
than the United States of America is.
That's part of the reason why I don't know if they're going
fun and start bombing Iran, especially because now Iran has created a huge opening where
Israel is left unguarded, left unprotected unlike ever before. They've depleted the munitions,
the anti air defense systems in the last 130 days. And then on top of that, they shut off
a lot of America's eyes and ears in the region by blowing up radar installations. And last,
but not least this past week for the last eight days, Iran has been pummeling Jordan
and destroying the Jordanian anti-air defense systems, many of which were
sent to Jordan. The Americans were sent to Jordan, as Mershamer also explained,
because all of the other bases in the region were unguarded. Jordan had more anti-air defense
systems because of its proximity to Israel, because of its position as basically a
a stopgap measure before missiles fall on Israel. They had better air defense systems.
Now Iran is destroying the Jordanian air defense system, so Israel is uniquely vulnerable. So
we shall see. They're crazy, but I don't know if they're that crazy. Hassan, your fit today's
ass not gonna lie, I'm sorry, are you sad that Argentina lost? Espana, baby. Here's a
horrid sex pose, how Netanyahu concealed the disagreements within Israel's military leadership
from President Trump. This week, we publish an investigation, the deepest dive yet into
Israel's plan to topple the Iranian regime and install Ahmadinejad as its new leader.
On February 11th, 2026, Netanyahu arrived at a decisive meeting at the White House where
he presented President Trump with a full plan of regime change in Iran. Netanyahu was confident
the plan would succeed, and that's what he told Trump. In Washington, it was met with
deep skepticism. But Netanyahu concealed from Trump and his senior officials that Israel
had serious doubts of his own. The top ranks, I think this is face saving. I don't know.
I think Israeli military intelligence is dog shit in general.
I think they constantly overestimate their capabilities and it's,
it's literally being held together.
It's being held together by, by a hope and a dream. That's what I think.
Like there are instances where they are capable of, uh, of, of, uh,
pulling off fairly sophisticated, uh,
interceptions at the logistical level, at the supply chain level,
like the fucking Pedro attack, which is an act of terror, by the way, it's a complete war crime and unacceptable.
But a fairly sophisticated terror attack. Having said that, their intelligence inside of Iran, I think used to be far better.
Their intelligence inside of Iran is not as good as they claim it is.
And I don't know if Israel knew that this would not work out and Benjamin Netanyahu hit it, or if they truly believe their own nonsense.
Not that it matters. What matters is Donald Trump believed it.
Which produces the country's national intelligence assessment.
Top ranks in the military intelligence had serious doubts.
Concluded that the plan Netanyahu was pitching to the American-stood little chance of success.
The head of military intelligence put that assessment in writing.
The Israel's former national security advisor dismissed the plans of science fiction
and stopped attending the preparatory meetings altogether.
None of this reached Trump.
Instead Netanyahu presented the White House with a picture of Israeli consensus
and high chance of success, the opposite of what Israel's own experts have concluded.
I think we're at the tail end of Benjamin Netanyahu's career. Now, he's like,
he's, he's impossible to take out in some ways. He is Teflon, but I do think his time in power is
coming to a close and they're going to use him as a sacrificial lamb and then try to restore
Israel's position around the globe as like a normal country, even though it's a pariah state. Now,
Do I believe that it will work? Who knows? But I do think that the Israeli military,
the Israeli intelligence, Israeli public by and large despise him. He doesn't have many
advocates that remain at this point. His last shot was to try to go Trump into going and blowing
up Iran and that's blowing up in his face right now. So at this stage, if he continues with this
nonsense, maybe Trump will do a Trump will do Zoran a major fucking Trump might even give Zoran
a major W and allow Zoran to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu somehow. You know what I'm saying?
And then we can all be like, Oh, America, the real savior. See, we're punishing the worst guy,
The only guy that's been causing chaos around the world, not us, you know?
Obviously, it's not gonna, it's most likely not gonna happen. I'm, I'm wish-casting here, but
I wouldn't, I wouldn't be that shocked if it, if that, if that did take place.
Yeah, APEC is allowing their dogs to criticize him. The deep state has turned on him. He's lost his mandate.
Yeah. Anyway, now let's get to another Israeli initiative. So the World Cup is happening. And of
Of course, Israel had to run some ads there.
Let's take a look at one of the commercials that they ran.
Maybe you'll notice some people in this commercial.
Can we just witness?
Who's that guy with the co pink ladies?
I wonder who this AI fellow is.
I wonder who this guy is supposed to be.
Obviously Israel hasn't gotten the patch notes.
They don't know that I'm a suit guy now.
They still think I wear jewelry around my neck and also t-shirts.
Yeah. Which of course, it's not the first time that I've been, you know, made fun of
by a foreign country who has the, who has the Russian one. Someone's got to have the
OG video. Who here remembers when the Russian government called me a homosexual Twitch streamer?
Let's start with it with the first order of business. Okay.
back when I used to paint my nails and wear a lot of jewelry and pose in front of cars
That's crazy. Okay. How the did I make the goddamn Russian government my op? That's insane.
Okay. Who is over there? Like former house and I be head. They even got, they got my
worse era too. They got my worst era. FSB's hate watching out here, bro. What made me
looking like Bam Margera, Temu Hassan. That's insane. You're not beating the Russian op
allegations. What are you talking about? This is literally directly saying I'm gay. Okay.
He's what they're saying. Like our men aren't gay and fruity and one time for it.
I don't get it how are they saying you're gay they're saying I put on dude what do you
mean they're saying I'm fucking fruity like look look at what it's juxtaposed with our
men are made, bright makeup and streams. Like, they're, they're saying like, oh, the ones
who are, you know, our men are made of the real stuff. They don't drink banana smoothies.
They don't get tattoos. They don't, they don't have pierced ears. They go and they fucking
die in the grayest village in Ukraine. That's that's what they're saying anyway. Add that
to the list. More info on the ad. New AI filled a new AFL TV after full on action at tech
cruise line nonprofit goes after James Fishback Florida governor and Dan Bilzerian in Florida
six. I can't believe that they fucking they put me in this goddamn ad bro. That is at
at least you can't tell from how bad this one is.
Our Queen Claudia getting love in New York.
Oh my God.
There's no fucking way.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Never been prouder to be Mexican in my life than this moment.
Okay.
Let me tell you something, okay? God damn, I love being flexkin. Okay, flakonos, rise up.
That's me. I would be crying like that. If I could hug Claudia like this, I would be crying real tears too.
Or you're wearing a spain jersey? Yeah, because they defeated Argentina. What are you talking about? This is a tactical decision.
I dream of the day where Claudia takes over California and California secedes and joins Mexico, as it's supposed to, so that we can have fucking free healthcare and shit.
You know what I mean? I dream of that day. We could greatly improve the Mexican economy too.
Yes, win-win baby. Win-win.
We must cut our losses right now.
We must return to tradition.
Jake Lang and Abdul drama may have been coordinated with liberal metapod. What is that?
I cannot believe this. Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed just platformed January
sixer Jake Lang. So let's talk about it.
Yeah, let's talk about it. Zee, this is how he handled Jake Lang.
U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A.
And this is how you handle Jake Lang.
Hi, it's not Jake Lang.
Hello, it's Jake Lang.
So you can come in through your thanks for coming.
So I like how you post this on your Instagram.
Then you have this in the video.
Also, this is an extra little nugget.
You follow him on Instagram.
Then you have continuously show that you have his poor judgment.
I gotta be honest.
Yep.
I mean, these people are, they're, they're unserious.
They're grifters.
There's no other way to look at this. Okay.
I mean, that's like, that's the operation that destiny is a part of, right?
Sex, pestany's operation. Another one of my fucking ops.
They, they literally, they don't have any ideological conviction, man.
They don't give a fuck. They are, they will align with anyone and everyone.
They will align with Nazis. They, all they give a shit about is clout.
All they give a shit about is clout. That's it.
And it's personal. It's a personal cloud too. There's not like, there's no larger gold.
There's no movement that they're a part of. They only want to advance their own personal
interest and maybe become like, maybe get more money from the Democratic Party pretty
much.
So yeah, Abdul did in platform Jake Lang, but you did.
Yeah, Zee is in every Jubilee video now she organized Destiny and Andrea on fuck americator.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
Their whole goal is to just like try to generate controversy and clout for themselves.
That's it.
I haven't seen them do a single damn productive thing.
Cloud for what though? Like what? I mean nothing. Just personal cloud. It's just pure clickbait.
No real ideological conviction. I mean, there's no...
Call me crazy, but if I ever had the opportunity to meet Jake Lane, the absolute last thing
I would do is shake his hand, treat him with respect, and tell him how nice it is to meet
him. But the same cannot be said for the Unfuck America tour.
Jake Lang
Yeah, like it's just you you are so clearly you are so clearly in it for the cloud
Why the fuck do you even what why are you even around Jake Lang like this dude is a straight-up fucking white supremacist possibly a federal agent
right
Why would you ever give them a platform at all?
call.
Minneapolis knows how to deal with Jake Lang. That's all I'm going to say.
I genuinely hope people reconsider donating to or supporting the unfuck America tour after
they chose to platform Jake Lang debate is supposed to be a tool for persuasion. It's
supposed to challenge people who are actually open to changing their minds, not handing
over a microphone and legitimacy to someone whose public record is extremist rhetoric
and provocation. This is someone who has publicly promoted the Great Replacement Conspiracy
Theory. Given Nazi salutes, burnt copies of the Talmud attempted to burn the Koran.
He has organized demonstrations targeting Muslim communities advocated for mass deportations.
He is deliberately sought out events centered on marginalized communities to provoke confrontation.
Was the objective to change minds or was it to generate virality?
Call me crazy, but if I ever had the opportunity to meet Jake.
Yeah, they're debate pedophiles through and through.
They think people like Jake Lang and Flentes is their peers, not personal to any of them
when it really should be.
But that's precisely the reason why Epstein very famously platform Nick Fuentes when Nick Fuentes had no platform whatsoever when he was demonetized and the platformed everywhere.
Destiny very openly gave him an opportunity. Welcome to welcome him into his community. And they were like, Oh, we're duking it out. We're having cordial conversations.
And not only that, but he also gave Nick Fuentes his phone number to other podcasts.
And he openly celebrated that too.
He openly, there's videos of destiny out there, okay?
There's videos of him openly talking about how he gave Nick Fuentes a lifeline at a time
when Nick Fuentes had nothing, and how Nick should respect him more, Nick should treat
him with the dignity and respect he deserves.
Yeah, didn't you say that's how Charlie Kirk and those guys used to treat you like they
would call you a monster and then try to get a beer with you out there?
Yes, I did say that.
Yes.
Real ones, old school people remember.
Epstein did a reputation laundering for Nick Fuentes and even banned numerous members in
in his own community that were like, hey man, we're with you all the way, but this is a
bridge too far. Nick Fuentes is a fucking neo-nazi. He wrote, effort posts defending Nick Fuentes.
Effort posts defending Nick Fuentes. Yeah.
Oh, and, and the, um, here it is, and Fuentes is treatment of me is so bad. I don't understand.
That's something you'll have to learn and grow, not to sound like a, not to be too self-aggrandizing,
but like, Fuente should be worshiping me because I am literally, I was the only lifeline that
he had to like, being able to breach like, mainstream political conversations, like,
I represented a huge potential opportunity to him and he just had so bad faith in the
way that he treats me, it's unbelievable, I don't know why the fuck he would do that,
like he should have been so conciliatory towards me, and I'm not looking for it, I'm not asking
anybody bitch or anything, but for him to be like, relentlessly bad faith against me all
I was like, bro, who the fuck are you?
I can put you on a stream in front of 14,000 people.
Like, I'm telling you, I'm giving your phone number
to like out of 22 so you can go to show.
What the fuck would you like burn my shit so hard?
Like, you're so...
Yeah.
No, and the...
This is the guy,
prominent liberal haters on the platformer.
I think because you couldn't disrupt yesterday's College Dems of America Convention, by the way.
thank you.
Oh and the end.
Yeah, here are the clip here.
Here are the clips of the Stalkers yesterday.
Someone was kind enough to clip the digital ground game official stream from yesterday
where their volunteers got ready before going to see us on I'll post the thread of them
for other people's convenience.
We are about to leave to go snark Hasan guys, no more than to go just hang out with the
Democratic congressmen of America, the college of Democrats of America.
I need to go get a little bit more clothing on, some barely naked, make us all look like
a dumbass.
Well I'm just curious of a couple things, my first is like, all right, Darius and PR
sec get ready to go snark Hasan.
We gotta go start a song.
Yeah, let's go start a song.
Let's go start a song.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Are you guys ready to get out of here?
You can get up and then go to bed.
You can get like, sorry, not go to bed.
Can I start getting this on?
What time is for the song?
Did you empty your trash?
I need a snack
I don't even know who the fuck these people are by the way digital ground game
Volunteers preparing their serious political topics like Hassan's dog and debunked brothel stories
So I'm like
I don't blame Radiant for holding on to his manly essence.
Too many succubus out these days.
Bucks is so fucking pathetic.
Imagine.
Harry Kins.
The goal isn't to debate a Sompiger.
The goal is to make him look more incomprehensible as possible in front of Democrats.
Digital ground game volunteer.
Remember, this is supposed to be...
This is supposed to be like, uh, totally...
This is supposed to be a goddamn is fucking Twitter videos. Jesus Christ. Oh my god the worst platform of all time
I swear to god
This is digital ground game DGG. It's a it's a fan funded
Operation that masquerades as like a like a door knocking operation. They're actively trying to become a
part of these a part of these like
like DNC backed, not a think tank necessarily, but like a DNC backed organization. That's
what they want to become, right? And this is exactly what they do. This is all they do.
They fight Destiny's battles. They try to defend Destiny and it's very hard to defend
them regardless. But one of the guys is this guy, publicly available video of Destiny Orbiter
After Darius IRL being served a restraining order from his ex, another video in the comments
shows Darius IRL provoking a fight outside of TwitchCon and being detained by police.
Pure mystery why the college dems didn't want them at the event.
Thomas Ellis that's you yeah yeah yeah yeah okay okay okay sorry what's up
didn't scare you knock on the door and then I heard it open so it's okay you
know what this is you know what this is about I'm guessing what do you got let's
see what the guess is and I'll tell you if you're right it's not my ex girlfriend
Yeah, protective order. Sounds like so you got a hearing. Yeah. So on this
application for protective order, right? You got a hearing, court date, information
right here for you, 1700 Watt. The person in the Hawaiian shirt is a
conservative tool amount. There is claim to be Steven's bodyguard yesterday and
they were bummed that Epstein blew them off at convention. July 30th, 2025, 8 38
everything inside of a temporary
ex parte order you're now responsible for
do not contact stay away all this stuff
that's listed in here you do have any
firearms state of Texas we assume
everyone does we need to surrender the
firearms based on a policy with Travis
County Sheriff's Department within 24
hours
so
there is an IRL provoking a fight with
multiple people including two black
women at the beginning before
This is what he did at TwitchCon. He's like a nuisance streamer. He like screams the N-word
at people, right? This is the guy that's a part of digital ground game, Destiny's Communities
Operation. These are all of his little soldiers, like his little harassers. Career criminal
Darius harassing and stalking us on it at Sex Pest Destiny, Stephen Kenneth Bonnell.
The second's direction is also harassed, talked and assaulted Brogan and Rafi at TwitchCon.
What did you say?
Someone in the chat said, what does Darius have to do with digital ground game?
What does Darius have to do with digital ground game?
What do you think this is, bro?
Sorry, I have no pleasure for you.
What do you think this is?
These are...
These are...
He's literally in a car with digital ground game volunteers.
They're there because Destiny, digital ground game is Destiny's operation.
They're all in the same car.
How do you think they materialize in the same car?
Do, do all of sex,
Pestides biggest,
most loyal fans also assume that everyone else is as stupid as they are.
I know that you guys,
I know that you guys get away with it because most of these people are just
like irrelevant weirdos that no one knows about,
but there's at least like enough people in this community that are like kind of
aware of who these fucking losers are because they are constantly trying to
harass people in my community, like Morgan. So I don't know why you're still trying to
make this bad faith argument while we're currently watching them go through the steps that they
live streamed, mind you. That's what's so crazy about this, like they live stream this
entire process. It's the stupidest fucking thing you can do. And they're still trying
to continue this narrative that just happened randomly.
They are just Darius viewers I thought.
Digital Ground Game literally said not to say they're a part of them.
Oh, okay.
They just only happen to defend Destiny and it's named DGG after Destiny's community.
It's just all totally random, right?
One of the guys was saying he is on the DL.
North is live and orbiter Stephen Bonnell aka Destiny Omni Liberal all but admitting he
and others were at College Democrats of America event to disrupt and possibly threaten a
keynote speaker.
I don't want you
That's crazy guys, what do you think is going on here?
What do you think they're doing? I think one of the funniest parts about this is that they're so
open, like they've turned it into content, right? They've turned this kind of like stalking and
being a nuisance into their only form of content. So they're very open about it. So I don't know why
yet like I don't know why you're over here fucking acting as though this is like totally random. I mean
they're taking ownership over it. We're not late to the conversation. We were waiting until
we could confirm that our volunteers who attended the College Democrats Summit were safe.
Digital ground game has come a long way in a short time and we're still learning how to navigate
political spaces. Really, you were trying to figure out your guys were safe? Is that why
they were fucking parked outside of the event? With hopes and a dream that they would get to
see me go in and are out of the event. They felt so unsafe. You'll never believe how old
this orbiter, okay. Yeah, I saw this. D is siding with Darius over his own fancy. I saw
this as well. Continuing the promo van every week as fuck DGG or well, maybe Darius shouldn't
have been there actually destiny shouldn't have said he was going in advance holy shit
actual twitter warriors finally appearing meanwhile let's take a look at what his fans
say when they're watching my stream because this is their platform where they watch my
stream every day I'm sure they're watching right now genuinely pray this man gets fucking
raped like Hamas did to israelis re this actually radicalized me I'm going to rape
the leadership org. If the Democratic Party doesn't ass-rape the CDA, I will ass-rape
them, literally. This is Destiny tweeting, Don't worry, I've been informed that we've
still got members still on the inside standing back and standing by, Godspeed brave warriors.
i don't understand why these guys think
that that this isn't like directly being encouraged by destiny at the top
down
in a deranged red destiny double down on stock in a song's live location while
advocating for him to get harassed in public his live location should be
broadcasted he should be bullied people should scream at him shout at him
go to the dangerous places and get shot motherfucker all of us will clap
available all times while he's live streaming
this is him and it's called i just want to clarify what i was saying here because
it sounds like, um, it sounds like I'm saying that he has like live location or whatever,
should be broadcast or whatever, or is that protest? That is exactly what I'm saying.
And it should be. And he should be bullied. People should scream at him and shout at him
and bully him the fuck out of any left-leaning protest that you see. The CCP paid agitator
fuck should never be in any democratic liberal protest ever. If he wants to go hang out with
disgusting, smelly, fat fucking losers, the tanky fucks or whatever, he can go hang out
with those fucking losers. That's absolutely fine. But until he has made a public statement
fully accounts for how he was compensated by the Chinese Communist Party for his little fucking paid
vacation trip with him and the rest of his little streamer fucks to China until he is publicly
announced at a dress set and talk about it. I have no idea why the fuck you would want this guy
anywhere near any of your liberal protest. This guy got paid to go to Israel by the way. Perhaps
that's the reason why he thinks I got paid by the Chinese government. Absolutely fucking out. One
of the hugest issues that this country has right now is all of the foreign interference that is
just happening openly on all of our social media platforms by the same countries that paid this
fucking loser to go and do a shill, who couldn't even go through with it. He couldn't even let the guy
fuck rape his neck, okay, at the stupid
chiropractic place because he knew how bullshit the stuff that he was promoting was, but he was getting paid too much, compensated too much
by the Chinese government to say no, okay?
So fuck this guy, fuck letting him anywhere near your protest. He wants to go hang out with Republicans, go to the dangerous places, and get shot,
motherfucker, okay, all of us will clap for you, I promise. Alright, go to the Republican places, go to the edgy place,
go hang out with tankies or whatever, but stay the fuck away from liberal protests.
Stay the fuck away from liberal protest.
I don't know why he thinks he has any ownership over this space whatsoever, but why are we watching this?
Because this fucking loser yesterday openly broadcast his intent to go and harass me at one of these public events that I was at.
And he was denied because they broadcast their intent ahead of time and then they continuously broadcast the entire experience and
then now
Now they're making it seem like you know, it was my fault
It's very strange to behave like this take some fucking ownership
Take some ownership over your actions, man. It's years and years and years of this shit
It's fucking insane loser motherfucker this balding grain piece of shit to show up
Yeah, when he isn't watching your stream on his stream
He spends time watching your stream offline and chatting about it literally
He's probably watching right now the liberal protest for six hours
You can come in finger wave and virtually signal to everybody else that you do shit that you matter
you don't matter nobody likes you i literally i didn't want to reveal this
but the reason why i've been upstream so much is i actually gained with my close
personal friend i'll just say his last name is mom donnie
and he says that him and his wife talk shit about us on all the time twenty
four seven all we do is we queue up art writers we run around a lot of these
talks about us on console they say they hate him
that he's a loser that his hair is falling out that he needs to up his
ear t he's small his lips suck his dog isn't in the
background anymore he had just everything about him is horrible he's a
fucking loser. Rare ex defense. Um, okay, barely. This is why barely. I mean it. I mean,
it's a pretty awful comment. I mean, I'm not gonna lie. It's pretty, it's pretty egregious.
I said, I say, way, that's not even close to OK.
That's the way I had to learn.
I mean, that would be an extra specification for me.
If I was to set up the event and somebody,
if I was to set up the event and I was unbiased,
I would come down to a son or anybody.
And so he showed me that.
I mean, I would actually have been there
and said that.
That's like, come on, bro, really.
That's, I mean, it's not for just comments, what?
One, what's the location of your parents?
I'm biased, taken.
Yeah. He's saying it's egregious that destiny fucking has said shit like this in the past.
I honestly think you could perfectly justify attacking and killing us on IRL for statements
like this and then actively tries to stalk me in the physical world. Of course people
are going to be like, yeah, we can't let this fucking guy be anywhere near this event. And
it's not even this. Like they openly broadcast their Reddit is not making email templates
for Congress members to cry about you? Yeah, look at this. Like this entire community,
they have no real interest. They have no real interest in politics at all. The only thing
they care about is this shit. Template language for email and Congress members about the College
Dems event, subject line, major concern about handling of 2026 College Democrats Convention.
Dear insert name, I hope you're doing well. My name is name. I'm a constituent from City
zip code. I'm reaching out to express my concern about the handling of a 2026 College Democrats
of America convention, especially in respect to the invitation and presence of the controversial
live streamer, Sompiker at the event. They've literally actively doxxed every single person
at the top of the College Democrats of America. They're going through and like looking for their
home addresses, their identities. This is completely unsustainable. It's not snark, guys. Stop using
fucking childlike language. It's stalking. This is straightforward stalking. It's an entire community
whose only content is bordering on the criminal.
They are single-minded when it comes to this issue. It's all they do. Stop crying about this shit.
crying. I'm sorry. Are your feelings fucking hurt? That we're offering a little bit of
daylight to what the fuck these guys are doing? Is that what happened? Does it look like I'm crying?
I'm not the one who's fucking engaging in mass harassment, organizing mass
harassment campaigns, and then complaining that no one ever listens to them.
It's always, they always have temper tantrums when they show them what they do, yeah.
And it's not like they're doing this with any sort of secrecy, they're doing it out
in the open, they're doing it in the subreddit, at r slash destiny.
Remember when they had to delete most of their fucking posts back in the day because they
thought Reddit was going to come after them?
Due to the mass brigading that they conducted against Twitch?
What will it take for these dumb motherfuckers to just move on to something else?
Work on something more productive, identify, I don't know, Republican Congress persons
and send them mass emails as constituents being like, I don't like this vote that you're
taking.
Do you understand?
I know that they're just never going to stop.
I think it's just going to, I think what it's going to take, I know, I know.
He's an asshole. Yes, you hate him, but you also hate when I talk about him
I know as a lifelong fan of us on I don't really even like destiny, but he's really cooking on this one
I know brother. I we know we we all know how you guys operate
You use numerous sock accounts you act like you're not a fucking fan of sex
Pestiny you only chirp whenever we're talking about sex Pestiny for some weird reason you larp as though you're a long-term fan
Who's now you know turning on me, right? That's what you're doing
Come on guys. Yeah, the the barrage of fucking vitriol that they send in the
direction of anyone and everyone like I know that they think I'm ontologically
evil and therefore you know no matter what they do it's appropriate because
I'm the most vicious most evil villain his community
Openly used to say that I'm a far more dangerous figure in American policy than Nick Fuentes
The more attention you give them the more power they get that's not true
No, sometimes it's important for them not to like set a fucking narrative
Sometimes it's important to identify
by even other liberal commentators who might not know all this shit that they're engaging
in that end up accidentally aligning themselves with dipshits like this, okay? You're wrong.
Also, I'm a fucking adult, okay? I know when it's appropriate and I know when it's inappropriate.
These people are literal fascist collaborators, okay? Now I might be leaning that Hasan is
worse than Asmongold. So I originally used to think Destiny's wrong that Asmongold is
better than a song to be honest in the grand scheme of things I still kind of do
but now I'm understanding why destiny thinks it's on is bad originally I
really did view destiny in a song beef is nothing more than internet noise yes
maybe a song is somewhat the reason that destiny's banned on twitch but more
or less a song seems Harlan's not anymore this is crazy shit banning people
from events because internet drama is insane like I didn't have a good
opinion of a song but it was better than asmongold Jesus man what the hell I'm
I'm telling you, they genuinely think I'm worse than every Republican, worse than neo-Nazis,
worse than they have no politics.
It's just Hassan bad.
It's an entire cult dedicated to, it's a cult specifically dedicated to cyber stalking and
mass harassment operations against a fucking Twitch streamer who they on the one hand act
as though they should be on the same side of.
Is really the issue of a sandwich with a commie loser fuck leading his own movement. He would
still be babbys of his beliefs, but he wouldn't be as big of an issue. But he and his ilk
poses Democrats and kick out actual Democrats want to improve our lives. Up to an including
literally kicking out the most successful unashamed liberal streamer with one of the
most active political communities behind him.
If nothing comes from this, it's officially Jover.
So here's what's interesting.
These guys don't understand that they're not actually engaging in a real movement.
This is not a real movement, buddy.
Like, even if you were doing, even if you directed all of this enmity towards like Nick
Fuentes or Asmongold, it still wouldn't be a real political movement.
Okay?
the problem. You're in a fucking cult and you're never going to see it, unfortunately.
Unfortunately, you're never going to realize that you're actually in a fucking cult and
that this, this loser narcissistic man child is basically duping you into believing that
you're engaging in political action.
Like you even since the midterms began what kind of serious political output have these
guys had besides taking money from some of their fans who thought they were gonna engage
in door knocking operations and then setting up fucking debates for Z and destiny and paying
people like George Santos to do debates.
Everything is about self promotion.
They don't even realize it though.
The fans don't fucking realize it.
The only movement that they have is this.
But yeah, they literally filmed every part of this process and they're shocked that people
saw it and were like, hey, your direct attempts to disrupt this event have not gone unnoticed.
We don't want you to do that
That would be fucking hysterical
And there are some big people here
Yeah, you kicked us out of the event after we paid hundreds of dollars to take it.
We were extremely respectful and followed all the rules you told us.
The mere mention of omnilivore calls to be instantly removed.
I just don't understand, like, I want to believe that there is like a level, I want to be as
charitable as I can possibly be.
Some of these guys are irredeemable, obviously.
Some of them are like totally fucking insane, like that Darius guy is very clearly, he's
nuts.
You want people to ask you some, you want people to ask you some hard-hitting questions?
I'm going to ask you questions that really make you think.
At least ask the ones that really hit down for the soul.
I go for them.
I give them, I give you don't and you give your body.
Hold that right.
Okay.
All I ask is that I go first.
You go first.
I go first.
That's good.
You go first.
I go first.
If you want to do, if you want to do.
Darius asked someone to change the title of the stream from snarking his son to supporting his son
Like someone changed my title of my stream not to snarking his son
Just in case anyone dies to double check
Someone changed to supporting his son
Supporting, supporting, so change stream title
Like all of this is live my man, it's already been fucking logged
All of this is live, why would you film all this shit?
I'm going to change my stream title now quick, so I'm going to change my stream title quick.
Again a very serious affair all around, shocking with the college jams of america wouldn't want
to keep this guy at the event.
I've learned a very, I'm trying to grow as long as I can, so I would love it if I had the opportunity to grow a big YouTube channel.
Yes, yes, something like that.
It's definitely still.
Yeah.
Let's do it.
They're going to come into a panel right now.
I have like, I have like a panel right now.
Yeah, I got it.
I think I'm going to start to move here.
Thank you so much.
Can we delete these messages about the same Jew?
to delete negative comments and chew messages,
unless it's negative towards juice.
Just for right now.
Just for right now,
delete negative comments towards juice.
Just for right now, you can keep them afterwards.
That's crazy.
Liberals, by the way,
these guys are combating anti-Semitism, by the way.
I don't think these people were gonna hurt anyone,
but I also think it's totally appropriate
to not take them seriously or let them in.
There's a transparent lack of concern
about political issues here.
Equally strange as digital ground game, avowing the stream bizarre.
Like, what are we doing here?
Back in the day, four years ago, his community used to fight against him for
not calling Nick Fuentes a Nazi.
I checked and now that same poster has left the cult.
Second image.
Destiny's incorrect.
Nick Fuentes does outwardly meet his definition for a Nazi.
Destiny's personal definition of a Nazi.
Explain how stream had three core elements.
high level of conspiratorial anti-Semitism, too.
Institution or a desire to institute some sort of outward violence or state-sponsored violence.
Ethnic minorities or other undesirables.
Three, desire to build some form of fascist state.
Destiny has said so far, his definition is concerned that Nick Fuenze's positions are not on any of these three elements.
He's triple wrong.
Was this post made so commentators can make his son attacks?
What the fuck are these comments?
This is basically a destiny sub.
I will never understand the need to control every narrative everywhere.
It's gotten so much worse these past five to six years.
Like I can get why destiny would want to he can mute all criticism both valid and snark
But holy shit, even when I was a DGG or it wasn't even some core part of my identity like it apparently is for so many
so I guess that
That guy Junans hopeful used to be a part of the cult and he got out of the cult and
And is now criticizing the cult
So I guess there is hope for some of these guys
By the way, it's crazy because his orbit calls me anti-semitic, right?
But his orbit actually, like content creators in his orbit,
unironically will, you know, say heinous shit about Jews all the fucking time.
So it's not really an accident why Epstein's son turned out to be a Nazi.
So he's whitewashing fascists are only Nick. I mean he he doesn't have any real consistent positions. He will change them
He he you know goes back and forth he used to I mean he's collaborated with Sam Hyde
And I think now he doesn't like Sam Hyde he collaborated with Lauren Southern
Nick Fuentes
It's just they're not
These guys unironically are the liberal groepers, okay
That's what they are. They're liberal groepers. They do the same exact shit that groepers do they go to the same fucking harassment
Harassment subreddits they go to the same exact harassment forums in general the docs they serially harassed everyone they can
They love using slurs all the time, too. It's a relatively unsafe place or rather. There's a lot of edgy
Commentary that goes on. There's also a huge overlap with right wing subreddits. I think some of them are just straight up
Uh openly right wing now too. That's why I don't think they'll ever stop people can wake up and outgrow their space
But there's already a steady influx of new stockers coming in from 4chan and kick most of their new members
Probably don't even know why they hate you. Yeah
Yeah, I mean he he will constantly get into trouble on his own like he just can't fucking keep his dick in his pants
He's just constantly getting in the fucking issues for that
for that reason too. And then every time he gets in the trouble with another like neo-nazi-e-girl or whatever,
he'll then turn around and be like, but Hassan is bad and his fucking community is so used to that,
that they genuinely don't realize what this dude is doing to them, right?
They don't realize they're like, no, actually as long as we can cyber-stock and try to fucking engage in mass-harassment operations against Hassan, our North Star,
Then it's fine. We'll overlook all of the moral failings of this person whose whose cult we're a part of
It's very weird it's very weird behavior and
They've done it to so many different people they did it to like twitch staff and and Epstein he still doesn't fucking understand why
after doing this directly to Twitch staff that like Twitch would never want to unban them ever again
Actually just mentally ill behavior and I do think that it's
It is coming to a point where maybe a restraining order is in order
Honestly
Yeah, his most popular videos on his YouTube are just about you. Same fate as more pregases.
Yeah.
People in here somehow still think his drama when a sex pest organizes his community into
multiple political operations that gain legitimacy and access to government officials to continue
harassing you and potentially cause real harm. These people are trying to make a third way
Based on harassing you it's ironic because third way already exists to do that and they have a lot more motion and a lot more cloud
I'm sorry that must be really scared to go through I mean mass whatever dude like I've
Look I've grown used to it. It's been seven years. I think almost at this point
How many fucking years has it been it's been like six years of this shit, so
So, you know, or actually seven, literally seven years of this shit.
And back then, I wasn't as big of a content creator as I am now.
So I didn't have like this massive community and support structure.
But I do think that a legal action is in order at this point because this is, I mean, it's
It's not even, it's not even for me, it's, it's all these other people, yeah, N-word
manifesto was the summer of 19, yeah, yeah, dude wrote a whole manifesto about how white
people should be able to say the N-word, and that was in 2019, that's when I was like,
this is fucking crazy. It's perfectly okay to ban this harassing docs from your events. I've seen
people posting logs of him asking Dan to create a stalking app to harass us on during his IRLs.
I wanted to include the context of what he was last talking about two to three hours before asking him to do that.
How fucking base would it be if Hassan actually got?
It was an honor fed posting. How fucking base would it be if Hassan actually got?
How far are we?
How far off are we to someone low-cricutially emptying a mag into a group of Isages feel like we're not?
We call that a win-win baby.
If he did it, he should take one for the team and do it.
His location should be publicly available at all times while he's live streaming.
If Dan wants to do something useful and still be a Hassan hater,
he should create a track Hassan X account that posts his current location when he's out at protest.
That I cannot fed posts anywhere without getting a ban. It is insane.
We call that a win-win baby.
Yeah. Just the heads up. I'm going to be doing some mass harassment campaigns on every single
journalist who gives this guy. He's talking about me. Free interviews from now on. Someone is going
to die soon in this space. I'm pretty sure. I don't know who, but there's nowhere to go on.
Literally anything. Every single person is a pedophile, a trial molester. Every issue is
about infinite genocide in Palestinians. Every single person is so fake and virtue signally.
There's literally nowhere else to go at this point. I'm not sure who, but I think it will happen soon.
like the tank is like a song can do all the sex best means propaganda means lib
left there all oh no I can't touch that that's too dramatic and I need to be
self-critical of other lives actually so far beyond fucking cuck that's all over
waiting for the Civil War reset or something
I mean he's yeah he this is a guy who writes school shooter manifestos on a
daily fucking base is pretty much about me and anyone around me. And then there are so
many people who are just like oblivious. There's so many people who are fucking oblivious.
years of defamation, mass harassment, direct cyber stalking. It's just insane. Hey, are
you actually going after other people too? It's not even just about you. It's outright
dangerous at this point, you got to do something. Yeah, I think we'll see. Anyway, yeah, every
Every part of this operation is like, designed around mass harassment, slander, smearing.
Very crazy.
OP's are a lot easier to fill out than you think.
You absolutely have enough evidence as port 1 and I think it's a good idea to get one
especially since the behavior is so erratic.
Yeah.
In this feud, start with him wanting to say the N word and you disagreeing?
Yes.
His fans will constantly rewrite history to be like, no, Hasan actually agreed with him
But that was literally the reason he was so insane that he had a podcast
With our mutual friend trihex at the time and trihex was upset that he was like saying that he says the n-word all the time
And in private amongst friends, and he was like dude. I'm black you can't fucking openly admit that and I at the time
Said the same thing to him
I was like dude, even if you're doing that which you shouldn't you should never say it out loud that you're doing that because you're creating a permission structure
And he lost his fucking mind and they were so
They were so nasty that they claimed that I got in trihex's ear
Trihex is a black man and they were claiming I actually convinced them a black man
That that he should feel
Upset about his podcast co-host openly admitting to saying the n-word all the time
That was in 2019. That's when the fucking separation happened and he's never given up ever since
It's unbelievable
And he hasn't stopped saying it since then anyway
There's new drama now he had sex with the neo nazi's wife and they exchanged each other's kids photos while sexting the neo nazi's now
mad at him and wants to unalive and one of his orbiters dropped him over this? What the fuck?
Gross. You were born popular by then? No, no, I wasn't. I was not a bigger... I was more popular
than him, but I wasn't a bigger content creator than him at that point. He had a far larger
audience that he used to fucking viciously come after me every damn day. It was crazy.
The only thing that's changed since 2019, I would say, is, um, his Nazi son is also
fed posting about you on Twitter, failure of a father.
It's past due, the US cuts down the tall trees.
He's not using the degree because he's not the one writing any of his scripts.
His speeches foreign actors have been guiding him for several months at this point.
This is fucking insane.
This is such a funny skit so post.
I think like the more he does shit like this, the more his audience has to be like, this is crazy. Right?
Anyway.
The official account tried to deny they were associated with the streamers, so I went back and made another clip.
So are we up for doing more voting on that or are we always waiting for Stephen I guess or what?
Mr. Bernalers.
Yeah.
There's the vice president.
We'll let it drink.
Epsions freaks, think no one has agency in their lives I think everyone is either being brainwashed or paid off by foreign actors
Yeah, his son is like, you will be, you will not be surprised to know that there is zero
post about this on LSF. I mean, even if there was any, they would downvote it. They would
fucking downvote it into oblivion. They keep a fairly airtight information sphere. Like
there is still, I mean, I don't know what the LSF situation is now obviously very publicly
their last moderator of LSF was ritualistically humiliated on the timeline. But I don't know,
like, it exchanged ownership since then, but I'm sure there's still, like, sympathetic people.
But, yeah, there is still, they still keep a fairly tight ship over there with, like,
how they can massage certain stories and use it as a jump off point for broader narratives,
for broader smear campaigns. A large part of his community probably like acting edgy in publics
or require ecosystem to justify it. They did delete all the posts about it yesterday by his community.
Stale is still on LSF mods with a new name. Wait, really?
I mean, good on him, I guess, at this point. I mean, he really loves controlling that subreddit.
No pothos, do they swarm any non-political posts about you like piranhas? Yeah.
is the majority opinion on sex past any overall negative yes it's unbelievably
negative most people most people don't know who he is but the ones who do know
who he is find him to be a despicable little rat and that's that makes sense
I mean here he is in Israel surrounded by his fans in the Israeli occupying
forces really yeah wait shit we should find him
chat after I'm curious yeah okay have a good one I'll see you around you next yeah
yeah what are you gonna do
there's a lot of internet manipulation that you can do with 50 dedicated
internet warriors. Yeah. It's, there's only look, I think at this point he understands
that his reputation is lower than dirt. Not really much he can do the salvage that, but
but having said that, there's not really much he can do the salvage reputation. So he's
just trying to like suicide bomb mine. You know what I mean? Why don't we chew gotten
restraining order yet you dumb fuck okay calm down ease up buddy
anyway let's take a look at another fucking dumbass whose brain has been
rotted someone with a you know significant mental issue John Federman
he's got Hassan derangement syndrome too let's take a look I believe that the
Democratic Party is going to become more anti-Israel. As long as we continue to do that,
you make that official and you make that part of our platform. That's my red line in the Democratic
Party. They campaign with garbage like it's on piker. That's pro Hamas.
And John Senator Federman made some headlines yesterday. He said if the Democratic Party
were to officially make no aid to Israel part of their official platform and essentially become an
anti-Israel party, he would consider leaving the party because that would be a red line for him.
Yeah. College Dems hosting Sompiker convention is really scary and concerning former leader tells JNS.
Oh yeah, yeah. Anyway, on that note, let's get to
Jake Tapper interviewing Abdul El Sayed. A huge rally last night with Bernie and AOC.
I want to play something you said at this rally in Detroit last night.
Are we going to let 50 million in lies steal this election?
Are we going to let Trump donors, billionaires, and A-PAC lies steal this election?
Steal this election is a pretty stark term.
I haven't really heard it used since 2024.
to be clear, this is a close race.
Congresswoman Hailey Stevens is a four term Congresswoman
endorsed by outgoing Senator Gary Peters.
Are you saying that if you don't win this election,
it will be because it was stolen?
I believe in the rigor of the democratic process, Jake,
but I also believe that the corruption of billionaire money,
APAC money to the tune of $50 million being spent
is anti-democratic on its own terms.
If you were to take all the outside spending
in this race out, this would not be a close election,
but it speaks to the way that, unfortunately,
money from DTE, our local utility,
money from Blue Cross Blue Shield,
money from APAC has come in to try to truck this election
in favor of somebody who they know is going to do
their business instead of the people's.
And I think that's anti-democratic on some terms.
It's why I'm running on getting money out of politics
so we can put money back in people's pockets
and pass Medicare for all.
So the attacks on Hailey Stevens are also an issue.
I know there are a lot of attack ads against you,
but there are so many attacks on Hailey Stevens
that on Friday you posted quote, it's become impossible to ignore the way that people online
make fun of my opponent for things that have nothing to do with her policies or politics.
It's unkind and unhelpful unquote. It's true that there are some really harsh comments
about Haley Stevens that I've seen. Here's one quote, she's a suit with a large APAC
bank account. That's it. She can't string together two.
I want to point out something here with this Jake Tapper conversation is taking place. First
of all, Abdul did a fantastic job. He knows how to hold his own. Okay. In the most contentious
environments, and I would go so far, say this is probably more contentious than Fox news.
It's crazy, but I think Jake Taber is probably a tougher interview for someone like Abdul
Al-Said than the average Fox news guy. Because unlike Fox news, he has prestige amongst liberals,
and he always will weaponize the legitimacy that he has in liberal circles to attack Muslims.
Okay. And that is, I think, a more difficult conversation to have than to talk to a hostile
Republican. However, one thing that I find particularly strange about this is, Jake
Tapper recently had the president of the United States of America on his broadcast.
He's supposed to be a liberal guy. Sure, the conversation took place after Lindsey Graham's
death. Having said that, the fact that Jake Tapper was far less contentious with the fascist Republican
president of the United States of America than he is with a progressive running for Senate in
Michigan on a platform of universal health care and disavowing APAC, a platform that
the overwhelming majority of Democrats agree with.
The fact that he's more contentious on an interview like this shows exactly what Jake
Jigtapper believes, Jigtapper finds Abdullah al-Sayed to be a far more negative influence
in American politics than even Donald Trump.
It's clear.
It's clear.
Coherent sentences.
She's a sellout who forgot how to think for herself.
Corporate money can't buy her a person.
should beat the Republicans? Are you a beater? That was you in your campaign.
And I want to speak to that because every single time we talk about all the outside money coming
in as a crutch in this election, it seems as though we're not hearing any explanation as to why.
I think we saw some of it last week when the congresswoman voted in favor of sending $3.3
billion of our tax dollars that should be spent on our health care and our schools
to a foreign government to buy bombs and tanks. I would really like to hear a fulsome explanation
of exactly what the trade-off has been. And unfortunately, $50 million doesn't fall off
trees. It doesn't come from nowhere. It comes because there's been some expectation on the back.
So I want to know what was said to get that money into this election. But I'll be clear.
I don't think it's kind to make fun of somebody for how they talk or how they show up. I also
don't think it's kind to make insinuations about somebody's character as it's being done to the
tune of tens of millions of dollars. And here's the thing about it. I've known the-
I think it's one is far worse than the other, by the way,
because Abdul's statements against Haley Stevens are are nothing
in comparison to what Haley Stevens's campaign back by 50 million dollars
of of ad spend look like.
They're smearing him.
They're calling him a misogynist.
They don't have any evidence for this other than he disagreed
with powerful women at different points in his life. It's such a ridiculous. It is the
lowest I've seen these motherfuckers go. And then besides that, of course, not so subtly
terror jacketing him, saying he is a violent woman hating anti-semitic Muslim. You know
how those guys are. That's the, that's the implication, right? The implication here is
Abdullah Sayed, Abdul Rahman, Muhammad El Sayed, is a dangerous, aggressive, woman-hating,
anti-Semitic Muslim.
Now, of course, it's the Democratic Party primary, which is precisely the reason why
they can't say it to that degree, right?
They can't do that.
Republicans will do that, because they know that if they go too hard, if they go too hard
they'll overplay their hand, and liberals will get annoyed with it, so they're trying to tactically
imply without outwardly saying it.
Republicans will say it with their full chest, but it won't matter at that point because
obviously all the liberals are going to be on the side of Amdoulal Sayed.
Congressman for a very long time.
In fact, she's met my daughter, my daughter, eight years old.
Apparently the college Democrats of America was responsible for J. Street, I know, yeah.
J Street came out and said, look, we have our disagreements with a Sompiker, but we have
no problem. We're honored to sponsor the college Democrats of America because guess what? While
I have my disagreements with J Street, they're not insane. Okay. They're not as insane as
like the APAC backed Democrats are. They can read the room and now they're yelling at J
street over it. What they don't know is like I've been trying to to even have a conversation
with Jeremy Ben-Ami, the president of J Street.
She told her, you should be really proud of your dad, although her allies are now running
ads to say that somehow I'm disrespectful to women, which yeah, breaking Jewish insider
via Haley Cohen, college Dems conference co-sponsored by J Street is featuring a Sompire J Street
President Jeremy Ben-Ami said his organization is proud to sponsor the event.
Failing the show would be an abdication of a responsibility to make the case for a pro-Israel views, J Street said.
Okay.
Ultimately, J Street understands that there is a
a much wider diversity of opinion on the issue of Israel on the Democratic Party side. And
if they want to continue to, if they want to continue to maintain a level of support for
Israel amongst Democrats, they have to allow people like myself to be a part of this equation
because I'm far closer to the average person's perspective than they are.
Yeah, seeing he said we had no role in the selection of speakers and we're sure there will be speakers including a Sompiger with whom we disagree.
Being in venues like this is even more important when there are participants with whom we disagree.
Failing the show would be an abdication or a response to make the case for our pro-Israel views.
During a speech Saturday evening at the conference,
Piker distanced himself from mainstream Democratic Party condemning Democrats who compromise,
who conciliate, who betray us, who loud applause.
No more do the Democrats who collaborate and cooperate with the fascists who will fund ICE,
who will fund Israel.
We don't need those Democrats anymore, Piker said.
The College Democrats Convention is hosting several speakers who hold extreme anti-Israel
views, including Democratic Socialists of America activists and Arizona Congressional
candidate like Deja Fox, commentator Katta Oaxale, gun control activist and former DSC
vice-chair David Hogg, and Democratic Socialists of America endorsed congressional nominee
Maylite Keros.
Wow.
Georgia State Representative Ruma-Ruva Roman, Roman, a Palestinian-American legislator with
The long record of anti-Israel activism will also be speaking.
Lionel also includes elected officials who've been critical of Israel's policies as represented
Jamie Raskin, Chris Van Hollen, Jason Crowe, college Democrats of America, the official
collegiate arm and student outreach branch of the Democratic National Committee.
Neither group responded to a request for comment from Jewish insider about their decision to
invite Piker.
You know what's funny?
They're an outreach branch of the DNC and the DNC has not given them, like the DNC has
given them literally basically nothing. They were talking about it like that their largest
donor is Cherokee Nation. DNC is like a miniscule part of their funding vehicle.
To be fair, the DNC is bankrupt, so that's probably why they don't have any money in the
fucking bank. At Tom Steyer, listen to my pleas and maxed out to Abdul. Tom Steyer
contributes the maximum legal donation of $7,000 to Abdul al-Said's campaign, the Michigan
Democratic primaries in August 4th in 16 days.
Speaking of CNN, they're hating on Bernie there.
Yeah, I know.
I saw.
that in a second. There's a new CNN piece that came out. It's not even hating on Bernie necessarily
because it makes Bernie look good. Anyway, let's finish this Jake Tapper conversation.
My daughter is now hearing about so I'd like to hear the same kindness. I want to know
whether or not the congresswoman also thinks that that's unkind and unright.
I hear your comments about the ads being run against you that are attacking you from a-
But I happen to agree with those ads.
I happen to agree with the contents of those ads.
The PAC and other organizations, but I'm specifically talking about comments you
personally made about Hailey Stevens. Hailey Stevens has made those comments personally
about Abdelal Said as well. Abdelal Said, on the other hand, did not get outside, Abdelal Said
didn't put in a red box in his media tab on his platform to attack Haley Stevens for having
a goofy voice or not knowing what she speaks of, whereas Haley Stevens did do that to Abdul
Al Sayed. So campaigns right now can't directly communicate with super PACs, even though the
Supreme Court just made it legal for them to do so. So what they do instead is a concept
called red boxing, where they put bullet points on their media tabs for all of the friendly
super packs to get their notes from. They'll say, attack my opponent with this perspective,
attack my opponent from this angle, that angle, that kind of thing, right? And Haley Stevens
is media tab, straight up had attack. I'll say it for, you know, uh, being a woman hater,
basically. So technically, I'll do, I'll say as one comment on the Dave Weigel interview
is not a fucking apt comparison to the 50 million dollars of attack ads.
Yeah, here it is.
Haley Stephens is in a lot of the coordinate directly with APAC so that she does and says put directions on her website,
telling them what flower she wants to be mailed to people and when.
Yeah.
There's a sub stack post here to interested parties memo.
There were 2,500 people in Grand Rapids by the way, plus overflow, it's insane.
He's gonna cook, I think, I think Abdul's gonna shock the world, okay?
This is a big battle.
This is perhaps our biggest battle yet.
This community has been involved with a lot of campaigns this cycle, many of which were
tough where our guys were getting outspend five to one, six to one, but never 12 to one.
Okay.
I think I'll go all say we shouldn't get confident.
We should continue pushing.
I think this is a tougher battle than that.
So, yes, Dalia Lisa might have been the toughest battle that we partook in, but this is a tougher
battle than that.
Okay?
$54 million.
That's the amount of money interest that we're fighting against.
precisely the reason why the approach is only going to get harder because mainstream media
is also terrified or at least the actors within mainstream outlets that are worried
about an anti-Israel senator winning are going to do everything in their power to try and
rat-fuck this candidacy. This on top of the corporate entities that are dumping, again,
54 million dollars. But as I always say, they have the money, but we have the people. Okay?
And let's be real. The harder they focus on Michigan, the easier it gets for us in other
races as well because this is a national movement. This is a national movement. So every dollar that
they spend on Abdul that we can posture defensively against is a dollar that they're not spending
against Francesca Hong is a dollar that they're not spending against Kai Newkirk. It's a dollar
that they're not spending against Corey Bush, Hartzell Gray, Oliver Larkin, Elijah Manley,
But it's clear to me that they are hyper focused on this.
So, Abdul is in some ways our tank.
He's drawing a lot of the aggro, so we have to offer sufficient defense, and then we can
go on the offense on all these other races that are also tough battles on their own.
This was a really solid piece of analysis from Dave Weigel that I'm going to get to
after we cover the, when we get to the CNN piece, but let's finish this already told
you, I think she's plenty smart, plenty capable.
I just want to understand why it is that she's been willing to take $50 million from organizations
that have their best interests and not Michigan or his best interests at heart.
I've been up and down my state actually did the work of traveling 110 different cities,
475 public events.
And where I go, people ask me, how come I can't afford my groceries?
Why is my gas so expensive?
How am I going to afford health care?
And it's crazy to me that you want to run for US Senate
and you want to take money from the very same people
who are raising prices on everybody.
So I just think we need a full sum explanation.
I would like to hear it.
I think the Congresswoman has had plenty of opportunities
and I think this is one of them now.
Just to be clear, the money being spent on her behalf
is not money going to her,
but I understand the point you're making.
It's interesting though,
because you talk about support for Israel.
The New York City mayor, Zoran Mondani,
This weekend was asked by the New York Times,
if he thinks there's room in the party
for Democrats who work with APAC.
And Mayor Mondani said, quote,
if they are Democrats and they run as Democrats
and they win as Democrats,
then they should be part of the Democratic Party.
When you were asked by CNN,
if support for Israel could be about anything other
than money, you told CNN, quote,
not if you're a Democrat and you believe in human rights,
unquote, you also said, quote,
every definition of a Jewish state ends up
in some articulation of illiberal values, unquote.
So it sounds as though, and correct me if I'm wrong, it sounds as though you and Mayor
Mondani disagree about how big this tent should be, whether there's room for it in the tent
for Israel supporters.
Dude, I, this conversation is so fucking annoying to me.
Like, oh, is there, hey, you guys who we are treating as outsiders, who we absolutely fucking
despise and don't want you to be a part of this tent.
Are you comfortable with having people who are pro-genocide in your coalition?
Why is this always a conversation?
Why know why?
Because they're still trying to position all the anti-Zionists, all the Israel critics
as outsiders that just want to destroy the party.
The party must remain a pro-Israel party.
That's the perspective here.
Right?
ridiculous framing overall
well I gotta tell you this there's always room
and no mom Donnie didn't say oh it's great when people are pro-Israel and
they're a part of the fucking coalition they're just presenting it as such
because our mom Donnie at the end of the day is is a politician and he does the
political speak
and he gave
plenty of criticisms to APAC plenty of criticisms to Israel in that
conversation, but he also basically danced around the issue of, uh, is it appropriate
if there are, you know, pro-Israel candidates that you can coalesce around, right?
He avoided it.
He avoided giving a direct response to it.
And I'm certain Abdul will do the same for folks.
And I'm for human rights.
I'm for equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination.
Whatever you think about the right of Israel to exist.
I wonder if they have a right to our tax dollars.
And here's the thing about it.
Every time I come on CNN,
you guys ask me the same questions
about these theoretical rights of existence
or whether or not I agree with the mayor of New York.
I'm running for Senate in Michigan.
And in Michigan, people can't afford their basic needs.
They don't get the healthcare they need and deserve.
They're worried about the quality of their kid's school.
And the question seems less to be about
the interests of Michiganders
than the fact of something happening 6,000 miles away.
I'm running for Michigan Senate
and I want our tax dollars spent in Michigan
on our schools and on our health care.
And the idea that somebody wants to vote
to send that money away to me seems to be an anathema.
So, with all due respect to the mayor of New York,
I just think my tax dollars should be spent here.
And I'd rather have a conversation about Michiganders
than what's happening 6,000 miles away.
The war with Iran is clearly heating up.
Three US service members, well, two were killed
and one is missing overnight.
They were stationed in Jordan.
20 weeks ago, when Iran's supreme leader was killed,
you told your staff, according to audio obtained
by the Washington Free Beacon, quote,
there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today.
So like, I just don't want to comment on common age.
Like, he's using shamelessly,
Washington Free Beacon opposition.
Like, I don't see liberals doing that to centrist, okay?
Liberals will never take like a Washington Free Beacon article
that that is attacking like a centrist candidate and then deploy it against a centrist candidate they would never do that shit
It's the most cynical negatively framed interpretation of a conversation that took place
So why are you taking the framing of a psychotic right wing outlet?
Why are you legitimizing the Washington Free Beacon?
Why are you going to legitimize Steve Bannon next?
Are you going to legitimize Nick Fuentes next?
Like what the fuck is going on here?
Hey, at all, I thought that quote was interesting.
Because you're Muslim.
I thought that quote was interesting and I'm bringing it up because you're Muslim and you're anti-Israel and I fucking hate you.
And I wish I could tell you how I feel openly.
But I can't, because you're a very popular figure in the party right now.
I'm going to try to fucking knock the wind out of your sails with the best of my ability with this conversation.
But obviously I have to play this game.
I have to play this game where I'm being polite towards you while simultaneously serving you as many Islamophobic attacks as possible.
AYATOLA has killed tens of thousands of innocent Iranians, not to mention the proxies that
Iran has funded that have killed innocent civilians all over the Middle East.
Why were you worried about offending people who support the AYATOLA?
Jake, on a day where we're mourning the loss of two more service members in a war we never
should have fought, I think all of us ought to step back and ask whether or not everybody
in Michigan, frankly everybody in America, shouldn't be sad about the fact that this
president backed by the prime minister of a foreign government took us to a war we had no business
fighting in. So yeah, I didn't want to comment on it then because it's a ridiculous pretext. And
now you're asking me about the Ayatollah who's dead by the way, and you're not asking me about the
service members who've died. You're not asking me about whether or not this war should have ever
been fought. You're not asking me about whether or not the costs that are being borne by Michiganders
in the tax dollars we pay or the gas prices that are insane right now are worth it. And so look,
Look, let's have a conversation based in Michigan.
I'm running for Senate in Michigan.
And I think here in Michigan,
all of us are probably sad about the fact
that we went to war that we never should have fought.
I'd rather our money be spent here.
I was specifically asking you about comments
you didn't want to make
because you didn't want to offend people in Dearborn,
which is in Michigan.
Let's turn to immigration policy.
You've been very critical of Trump's immigration policy.
In his new book,
His level of follow-up, his level of follow-up putting words in his mouth, refusing to understand
the point, refusing to entertain a broader point.
Yeah, Tapperbash, Jennings and other synoptes were the biggest cheerleaders of the Iran War.
No self-reflection and no accountability after the war they supported led to needles, needless
loss of life and hardened the Iranian regime, which they all thought was days away from
collapsing. It's a ridiculous pretext. And now you're asking me about the Ayatollah
who's dead by the way, and you're not asking me about the service members who've died.
You're not asking me about whether or not this war should have been ever fought because
Jake Tapper supported the war.
You never said anything about fucking offending people. I know he did it.
comments you didn't want to make because you didn't want to offend people in
Dearborn, which is in Michigan. Let's turn to immigration policy. You've been
very critical of Trump's immigration policy. In his new book, a Democratic
former Senator Ken Salazar, who served as the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico under
President Biden, he says basically that the Biden administration was asleep on
the wheel on immigration. He calls the Biden policies on political failure. I
know you object to the Trump policy and I know there are lots of reasons you do.
Do you have any criticisms of the Biden immigration policy?
I think we could have done much better.
I believe in a safe and secure border, full stop.
I also believe that we have to be smart about the fact that right now,
ICE is being used to terrorize people on our streets.
We talked about two more deaths in the last two weeks alone.
At the edge of a force that should not exist,
we can have immigration policy that is smart,
that keeps our southern border safe,
that enforces our immigration laws,
in a way that tears apart the Constitution itself.
So yes, I think we could have done a better job.
I think it's important for us to be smart.
Now, I just want to push back on one thing.
You've got this administration,
they're making a show out of ICE enforcement.
And at the same time,
they're making it fundamentally unlivable
for people south of our Southern border.
How does that make sense at all?
This whole point of the Trump administration
is to weaponize immigration against the Constitution itself.
And I think the more we're willing to talk about that,
the further we go and actually getting to an immigration policy that makes sense in this country.
Hey, we'll see rallies from Michigan's Abdullah Sayed.
Fuck, yeah.
I mean, this makes me so this brings a smile to my face here to my eye.
This is great.
This is why it's important to build a motherfucking movement, folks.
It's important to build a coalition.
This is, and I need you to understand, in some ways, this is the easiest it's going
to get.
But also, in many respects, we will have more numbers later down the line.
Okay?
So, no matter how hard it gets, we will have more soldiers to fight back against centrist
forces against the right wing forces within the center of power in the
Democratic Party.
That's it.
But make no mistake, today it's 54 million dollars.
Tomorrow it'll be a hundred.
They're not going to stop.
They're not going to stop.
That much is clear to me.
They're not going to stop until it's undeniable.
And then I guess they'll move on to different tactics, but they'll always remain.
There will always be this maligned force in American politics that's constantly trying
to pull voters, trying to pull politicians, trying to buy politicians, to make sure that
there is a reliable pro-Israel constituency in both of the parties.
And I genuinely believe it's going to be the way that we can move back to house and move back to the Senate as well.
And it is absolutely electric and I'm so proud to stand for it, that we're all doing it.
We watched them learn from the best time, right?
That's how you built your movement that's prize-alone 2018.
Not the worst, you did the actual work.
And that's the thing about it is that I, you know, you can tell when something is built with love and care.
and we tried to build this for loving care for the people in Michigan, by the people in Michigan,
other people in Michigan, and I'm grateful that it shows.
There is no other test case of the money versus the money that is as big and powerful as this one.
They're pulling out all the stops.
They're going to probably set a record for how much money is spent against one candidate.
And the idea that we're still in most polling and winning, right, despite that,
tells you what the people really want.
And I'll just say, it's anti-democratic as hell to bring $50 million into an election.
Imagine there was no outside spending at all, put it with this phrase, which should
tell you something about electability.
Turns out if you're electable you actually have to inspire people to want to be a part
of a movement.
You actually have to inspire people to want to be a part of something, to vote affirmatively
for a vision of a future that they actually wanted to be.
And so, you know, I just think this should open up a broader conversation about how we
do politics in general, in particular how we do politics in a party that claims to be
for working people.
Man, he's so fucking good and he's gotten better. He's so good, but he's he was already good, but he's gotten better too. Oh
My god
Dr. Chef dude Dr. Chef he's chefing it up
There's a reason that the nurses endorse us
There's a reason that I don't see a burning out here and that is because we want movements that put people first from center
I don't take money from those corporations and they see me as an incredible threat to
that system and they should.
But you know, they're trying to in effect, $50 million of outside cynical money, right?
To corrupt this election in a way that democratic party frankly should be bigger than that.
The democratic party is dams are in the middle of a civil war.
He's at the heart of it.
America actually by a stead hand in has Dr. Abdul El Sayed on.
But before we get to that, we are going to talk about Hakeem Jeffries, Bernie blowback,
ladies and gentlemen.
Bernie blowback, House Sanders' primary endorsements have sparked a democratic midterm war.
Now, what's interesting about this article is that it's not written by Edward Isaac Doveritz.
It's instead written by Sarah Ferris, Monterey Raju, and Allison Maine.
Normally, this type of article, if it's super negative, would be written by Edward Isaac
Dover.
So the fact that Manu is on it gives me a little bit of confidence, okay?
Edward Isaac Dover is the designated pro-Israel anti-Bernie, like anti-Bernie-Krat guy at
CNN.
He's the CNN payroll hatchet man.
Now, one of the best parts, best articles, who came, Jeffrey's confronted Senator Bernie
Sanders against meddling in house primaries, particularly one involving a black Democrat.
He seemed to not care. He said, Greg Meeks of New York, a Jeffrey's ally who was also
on the call, said of Sanders were calling the previously unreported phone call.
beast mode. My goat Bernard has had it. Bernard has motherfucking had it, baby. Mitch is the
front lines of Bernie. Michigan is the front lines of Bernie versus leadership or with outside
surgeon Gary Peters was so afraid he could lose the Dems. The seat that Peters came out
for Haley in a must win house. See Sanders pushing will Lawrence activists who's remarks
about black meters of inferior to the party. They're trying to do a package deal. Right?
They're trying to do Bernie Browser, anti-black, once again.
They're trying to rehash the old, the old meta.
And I will admit, it has been very effective in the past, okay?
Especially in constituencies where the old entrenched vanguard still remains, okay?
It's still a fairly reliable mechanism to thwart the left flank.
I want to bring up something interesting that I saw in the timeline of an old conversation
that Uncle Sam Cedar had, okay, an old conversation from 2021 about black socialism, okay.
This is from, this is from August 4th, 2021.
Let's take a look.
though. This is something about black politics that I think is important for particularly
progressives, white or otherwise. So try to understand and ask questions like,
why do black people vote for Joe Biden? I don't understand. The policies that Bernie has are
so much better. Black politics is a politics of containment and capture. What does that mean?
How does black politics work? When Joe Biden, when South Carolina primaries are about to happen,
Cliburn, Jim Cliburn has the full number of every black church pastor in his, in his, in his role next every black membership organization fraternity sorority graduate chapter and alumni chapter, which in those chapters are the teachers, the principles and all of the administrative
officials of your black high schools.
All of the historically black colleges and universities, which I'm going to be in South
Carolina, South Carolina are larger than our students, which is, which is going to literally
have an ideological role in shaping the politics of thousands of students.
What I'm trying to say is that the way in which Clyburn does this is not because black
people will, if you explain the policies will to them will not understand that, oh, this
stuff, you know, federal jobs.
Yeah, this is the, this is revolution podcast for those of you who don't know, if you're
actually interested in hearing this perspective, uh, and, and, you know, further beyond it,
uh, they're a great podcast. This is revolution is the name of the podcast.
I guarantee universal healthcare is better for us. It's that the ideological infrastructure
is controlled by the black political class. And they maintain that control by exacting
exacting patronage, which I call fatback in biscuits, from the Democratic Party and its
corporate acolytes, and handing it out piecemeal to people who are within their constituency
through public service types of policies. And that aspect of how black politics works is what,
in order for anyone who's interested in having any kind of a left, and I've said this and I'll
say it again, you will not have a left in America with effective politics without black people,
because there's never been a left in America with effective politics without black people.
And if you do not do that, black politics will be used to destroy the left. Like it was done in
2016 and 2020. You have to understand and find a way to puncture the ideological.
And there are certain things. Look, I've been talked to a lot of people about this kind of stuff
for quite a while now because it's something that I acknowledged is something that I understood
fairly early on. Black people, demographically, are the most progressive voting bloc in this country.
Straight up. Issue after issue after issue, black people are consistently
barn on the most progressive, the most reliable progressive voting bloc in the country.
Okay? This is 100% the case. Okay? But it is a policy of containment. It is a politics of
containment as well. And therefore, there is a lot of understandable mistrust towards outsiders,
specifically progressive outsiders. And I think Jim Clyburn weaponizes that all the time. Okay?
And I think we, on the left, when we speak on certain issues, like when we say stuff,
especially because, look, I'm white, you know, I'm a Muslim, but I'm white, right?
When we speak on certain issues, when we speak out against black people,
even if they're centrist liberals, for example, right?
Like, that comes across very differently to a lot of older voters especially, right?
That comes across as unnecessarily antagonistic.
That's number one.
Number two.
Number two.
still no penetration into the voter turnout machine or the infrastructure.
And part of that is because there aren't a lot of, and this is changing now,
but there aren't a lot of visible black socialists, okay? And part of that is also because
Black progressives are oftentimes sidelined, not by the progressive movement, mind you,
just if you are, if you're black, it's already harder for you to generate more goodwill within
the party. Summer Lee is the example I'm thinking of. Iona Pressley is another example I'm thinking
of. Some are at least a great example because like she is one of the congressional representatives
closest to me ideologically and yet many people don't know of her, right? I on a pressly I agree
with a lot of stuff. She's a very consistently progressive politician and again many people
don't know of her. Corey Bush, obviously this community is aware but of Corey Bush we've
campaign with Corey as well, but like this is in some cases by design, right? In Hanomar as well.
So there is definitely a problem with black visibility in general, and it's doubly
difficult. It's especially difficult if you are, if you're also outside of the establishment
Outside of the the center of power within the Congressional Black Caucus, for example, if you're
Uh, if you're not a part of this this vehicle if you want to be an agent of change you don't even have that leg up
Now here's the thing
Some really isn't dsa dsa discarded and she's a socialist still yes
Some really isn't dsa because of the dsa uh specific dsa chapter's fault. Okay
So maybe hush
Anyway, we're not going to get into that.
But the other part of it, I do think black socials get sidelined by white progressives.
I mean, I don't know if I full, like, there's definitely an element of that.
I just, I mean, this community is one where that doesn't happen and yet still, like, there's
a broader problem, right?
Do you know what I mean?
think about it this way. How many people have said that DSA is anti-black, DSA is taking
away black power, brown power from the New York political machine. The DSA slate was
all black and brown folk except for one guy.
So there is this weird narrative that mainstream outlets also play a formative role in advancing
that robs people of their identity, that robs people of their blackness if they're democratic
socialists, that robs people of their Latina background if they're democratic socialists.
And it's the same principle for Zionism, right?
If you're critical of Israel, you're no longer Jewish.
We saw this with Brad Lander.
And Brad Lander is as pro-Israel as you can be while still being critical of Israel, right?
And they made it seem like Brad Lander was actually anti-semitically unseating Dan Goldman.
All the Jews that voted for Brad Lander over Dan Goldman were no longer Jewish in the eyes
of the media.
This happens all the time, and it's very fucking frustrating.
Can we stop saying black and brown that's literally the problem right there?
I mean, I don't know, what do you want me to say?
BIPOC?
Yeah, the establishment weaponizing racial politics
to defend corporate interests over the rights of all people
regardless of race, so disgusting.
Four out of six people here are not white.
And one of them, one of the white people's Jewish group
that they also claim the left hate is so bad faith
and disgusting way that they try to turn people
against each other with millions in dark money
from corporations, special interest groups.
Even when phenomenal left-wing candidates like, uh, that is like Janice, uh, Dari, Lisa, Milak,
Kuros can win black, uh, and non-white voters, they spread misinformation slander.
These progressive women of color is truly discussing the lengths that they'll go to
create a false narrative that somehow the left is more anti-black and white supremacists
in the same centers MLK warned us about.
But anyway, anyway, anyway, listen, listen, the other, the other thing I was going to
say is there is a truth to the fact that we on the left have not leaned into our black
comrades as much.
This is something that has to change, okay?
That's number one.
Because at the end of the day, I will never be able to have the impact in a black neighborhood
that the Jam Boys will in their own neighborhood in Chicago.
You know what I mean?
I will never understand this experience.
You know, I can only empathize, but I can never understand it fully.
I will never be able to live this experience.
So that's one.
Same with Sean the Black, right?
So we have a lot of work.
We have a lot of work to build a network and boost.
We have a lot of work to do as far as like developing a network
and boosting black voices so that they can turn around
and organize in their communities.
So we can bring them into this larger working class movement.
And part of that, part of that also means like going to HBCUs, for example, there's no,
we don't have a presence in these spaces at all.
We don't have a presence in black churches, we don't have a presence in HBCUs.
You know who does though?
Establishment Democrats.
And not just black establishment Democrats, just establishment Democrats in general.
And another part of that problem that draws, at least according to Sean's analysis on this
issue, another problem here is also the dismissive ways in which those on the left talk about
the EI affirmative action initiative such as that.
I have always talked about it being a band-aid solution and yet still one that is necessary
And, you know, talked about the broader complications when you attack these sorts of things and,
like, successfully destroy them, what that means for black people getting a leg up.
But there are definitely some people who will just say, no, fuck that.
Like, we shouldn't focus on that.
In order to organize in the white working class, we need to not focus on things like
that.
comes across as, that comes across as too dismissive, and it's a conversation that black people have heard many times over, right?
When people hear that stuff, when people hear things like that, when black people hear things like that, they go, oh, I know what this is.
You don't give a fuck about me, okay?
That's it. That's it. So we'll never get the unks and the aunties on our side if we
do that.
What is it? I will be expecting to recreate this YouTube short of the next PSA man.
Shut the fuck up, Oni.
I mean, this shit's weird as fuck too. This is not.
My policy is, you know, treat people like people.
Don't don't go above and beyond. Don't go overboard.
That's weird. There's no way to organize.
It's far better.
It's far better to have black allies in these communities that bring us into these communities
to help them organize than to go to those communities and do this kind of fucking symbolic
otherizing of black people, right?
Because that shit doesn't, you know, that shit's lame and strange.
And in some ways it's also kind of racist because it's so performative and it's also
like, it still goes back to me, me, me. What am I doing as a white person? Look at me. It's white
performance. Okay. Like, look at me. I'm a white guy, and I'm going above and beyond with my
acknowledgement. Just fucking be normal. Like, what is this performance?
That's the way I read it at least. That's why I hated the Nancy Pelosi,
can take cloth, shtick, you know. It's just silly. It's so transparent. It's so, maybe
it works. I don't know. Maybe older voters like it. But in any case, in any case, yeah,
this is the take I hear a lot. Yeah, we heard it for 200 years. Let us prioritize white
people, please. Then you'll get what you want. Then we get cut out and excluded and told
to be happy when we got the crumbs. Yeah. But the problem is, it's not like the establishment
is giving black people anything either. But the difference is the establishment is at
least like the establishment offers, you know, a comforting face, lip service, and it's
there. There's a funding vehicle from the party apparatus that trickles down to these
black organizations and institutions as they're talking about here. Dems will give money.
Jim Clyburn is always going to have money from the Democratic Party that he can distribute
to South Carolina groups, right, to different, to different black organizations and institutions
in South Carolina. So there is like a, like a pay payment patronage system that already exists.
And that creates obviously a lot of trust.
a superstructure that allows people like Clive Bird to basically take large segments of black voters and dump them into the neoliberal corporate section of the Democrat Party.
Yeah.
Yeah, the reason to get got pissed off at Clive Bird, he failed to get the black vote for her. That's why she wanted him replaces the whip.
Yeah, notice how these articles always emphasize black and Latino leaders, not ordinary non-white
voters.
The divide is in between non-white voters and the DSAs, between non-white voters and their
out of touch leaders who are enraged by the success DSAs having with non-white voters.
And it's also having with non-white leaders.
Because look, there is a generational divide here.
Okay?
real, that's the real secret. Everyone under the age of 35, every non-white person in this
country under the age of 35 knows this fundamental truth. You are not getting a crumb of power
or a crumb of wealth from your older relatives. Okay? That's part of the reason why I mean,
Look at, look at DSA, look at DSA, although the media and, and black and Latino leaders
and organizers are claiming that like, uh, they're being written off, they're, they're
you know, getting unseated by who, by who, by who, by white people.
Did we replace Nidia Velazquez with a white person with a white man, no?
Claire is Latina and indigenous, Claire Valdez.
Did we replace Adriana Espayot with a white man, no?
Barialisa is Afro-Latina. She's Dominican. So that's why this shit is so cynical, and
so frustrating. The real factional battle that takes place within the entrenched power
that is uh... the congressional black caucus and the congressional hispanic
caucus like the real machine politics
that is frustrated
and worried and fearful
fearful
that they're losing their seniority backed positions
positions that they waited for
for decades
they shut the fuck up they played ball
and they sat around for decades
hoping to finally arrive at some power within the party system, and now you got a 32 year old
activist coming in and unseating you? Are you fucking kidding me? Of course they're pissed.
But that's also important to recognize. There is this generational divide taking place.
That's what's going on.
That's really what the anger and the resentment is all about. You're skipping the line. You're skipping the line, you're not playing the seniority game.
Wait around. You need to first become a staffer. Then you need to work on campaigns. Then you need to run for local office.
then you need to be groomed by the person who has been in that seat of power for 40 years
to retire and hope to God that they hand select you as their replacement. That is how it works
in the Democratic Party. That's how Malaat won. Instead of waiting maybe two more seasons
for Diana to get to retire, enhance, select her replacement, Mala skip the line.
Where was the racial narrative then? Mala is a black woman, a young black woman.
Was there any racialized narratives from Maesha Mala's Diana to get is being quite
the racist after all? Look, she attacked Jim Clyburn back in the day. Hmm, is there a real
through line here with her anti-black behavior. When will we address Diana the Gets anti-blackness?
No one ever made that article. Now that would be a cynical and fucked up article to write
regardless. But do you really put it past if the roles were reversed?
If there was an incumbent black Democrat,
possibly on the verge of being unseated by a young white woman, you don't think that
that that would be the main narrative you hear from every fucking mainstream outlet.
I mean, Haley Steeves is a white woman.
And the media is treating it like she's a part of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Haley Steeves is a white woman.
And they're making it seem like Abdul is the white guy in this race,
trying to go after the black woman, literally.
Haley Steeves is a white woman who's Christian.
And people act like she's Jewish.
The weaponization of Idpal is out of fucking control. It's crazy
They're like, how dare you attack Haley Stevens? She's that's anti-semitic. What the fuck do you mean? That's anti-semitic
Between Abdul and Haley. There's only one person that is actually
Unseated a Jewish person from a position of power by getting tens of millions of dollars from APEC and that's Haley Stevens
against Andy Levin
that current
congressional seat she occupies
A-PAC paid for her to do so because they didn't want an Israel critical Jew to be in that position of power
Okay
It's crazy
Yeah, the key or signature move here is a smear with counsel ages of sexism sexism for manufactured micro aggressions
Followed by do nothing throw up your arms as Hillary did in 2016 well breaking up the banks won't and sexism and racism
Yeah way to be dismissive of a candidate three term in parentheses woman Congress woman
These people are demons man, they're fucking demonic
All they care about
is power. That's all they care about and they will stop it. Nothing. To make sure that they
eliminate all threats to their seat of power. Now of course, there's a reason why they don't
attack the Republicans in the same way. These Republicans are not unseating them in their
their cushy safe districts. We are doing that, right? And Republicans, no matter how evil
they get, that's a good funding vehicle for the Democrats. Without doing a single damn
thing, you could just fundraise against how devastating the Republicans are.
So it actually fits into this power structure, it's perfectly fine if Republicans are fucking
dog shit fascists.
That allows them to not do anything and still collect campaign funds.
That's why they're way, way tougher on their fucking left flank than they are against the
Republicans, right?
Sanders.
Yeah, on Andy Levin and APAC, look,
APAC spending millions to back Haley Stevens in 2022 against Andy Levin was indeed a radicalizing
moment for a lot of people in Michigan in an interview with Dave Weigel at the time.
APAC's president said they targeted Levin precisely because as a synagogue president,
Levin had strong standing to criticize Israel's actions and defend Taliban Omar against attacks.
So Andy Levin had to be crushed. APAC never saw the hypocrisy in their targeting of someone
specifically because they were Jewish, or if they did, it didn't stop them.
Is Levin endorsed Abdul? Day 1 baby.
Andy Levin endorsed Abdul, I think Day 1.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Is Senator Bernie Sanders hurting the Democrats' chances of winning control over Congress?
have a bunch of centrist neoliberals and maybe some right-wingers on a panel to discuss how,
yes, it turns out, the left flank that has all of the momentum, the left flank that has
all of the capacity to fill up fucking crowded arenas, the left flank that has all the fucking
small donors, that left flank that's breathing life back into the fucking party that doesn't
deserve to have its reputation cleansed.
That left flank, we have to fight back against all damn day.
This is backed over 90 candidates and according to his team,
42 of them have won their races, including 10 out of 16 federal candidates.
Here's a look at some of them on your screen.
There's some controversial ones that have caused some significant
blowback within the Democratic ranks, including a critical Michigan House race.
There are congressmen in the Michigan 7th Congressional District, a battleground district
that when it's William Lawrence there, that's a big fight that's happening, will happen
in that August.
For primary, Hakeem Jeffleys had this phone call with Bernie Sanders and along with Gregory
Meeks and the New York Democrat on it, Meeks said, told us, Sanders seemed not to care
after they were raising concerns about meddling in primaries.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, that is Bernie Sanders.
I mean, a lot of this, as I was looking at some of the rallies there from Bernie Sanders,
you're reminded of 2016, this real force that Bernie Sanders was in his race against Hillary
Clinton, and that is kind of the energy.
A lot of these Democrats that we see running now sort of became Bernie Sanders Democrats
during that race, and so you see this come to fruition here.
In Michigan, one of the real worries is that Abdul El Said is maybe not as a competitive
candidate against the Republican who did really well last go around. He used to be a fellow contributor
here at CNN. Michael Rogers is very telegenic. I think he lost by something like 9,000 votes or
something like that. And so there is real worry. But this is about attitude, right? It's about
passion. It's about media. To be fair, didn't you say the left flank were unseating Democrats
and fortress seats? It makes sense for them to start fighting back if they're losing numbers.
that is just politics? Yeah. But a normal party structure would actually, well, Democrats are
not a normal party. But if it was a normal party, you would have the most fucking leftist candidates
on the most leftist districts. You wouldn't have annoying right-wing centrists in the most left
districts, okay? A national party that is a normal, competent, real party would literally actively put
But the most visible, the most popular, the most far-left people into the most far-left
seats, okay?
And then they would run more reasonable and more sensible moderates, I guess, in districts
that, uh, that, that makes sense for that kind of attitude.
But we don't fucking do that in the United States of America.
Let's get entrenched power from their fucking safe, their castles, their strongholds, okay?
Party establishment want to hold on to power, why did Trump go after Massey and Marjorie
Taylor Greene?
Was he worried a Democrat would win the district?
Of course not.
It's the same thing for Klaver and endorsing Cuomo or tandem freaking out about every lefty
anywhere's job security.
that genuine concern, but that's not really what motivates this crowd. And they're not
really even very good at it.
A perfect example of how propaganda works at the story framing level corporate Dems
has spent a decade buying primaries for corporate candidates. And the party has seen an epic
loss of power. And yet they are never, there are never TV segments about them hurting Dems
changes of winning. Yeah.
When is the last time you heard about how fucking angry the voters are at the centrist
within the halls of power. They literally, bro, New York is a closed primary. New here,
but you literally contradict yourself in the first 30 seconds. Wait, what? How? Explain
yourself. New York is a closed primary system. Who's voting for these candidates? It's fucking
Democrats voting for these candidates. But if you were to literally listen to the media,
you would think that aliens were fucking spawned into these districts from the outside
to cynically vote for these fucking candidates to get Republicans elected. It's like, no dude,
those are your own voters.
They treat those seats like fiefdoms though. He said he's scared of losing his job,
no. Then you went on a rant and said, yeah, it's about job security.
Wait, what? I think you misunderstood what I was talking about. Yes, that's what it is.
job security for near-attended relies on her constantly fucking attacking the
left flank what's the contradiction even what your statement is not
contradictory I'm so confused
Yeah, the most fourth most and fifth most popular back to policy in the U.S. or self-identified
democratic socials is the idea that they are responsible for broad disdain for the Democratic
Party's empirically false and objectively hilarious and desperate.
Possibly I thought you were started, I thought you were started by saying it wasn't about
job security that you ended up saying yes is job security. No, it is job security. Of course,
it's job security for them. I always say it's about job security. Anyway, but they never,
like Dems in the media never fucking criticize establishment Democrats. Okay.
May stream out let's never criticize establishment Democrats for creating an environment that
has allowed the voters to come to terms with on their own that establishment Dems are
not fucking working.
Anyway, let's continue with this fucking video training in some ways.
I mean, if you think about somebody like, uh, do, uh, I'll say also a fellow, uh, CNN contributor
at some point, you, you're, you ran for governor and lost in the governor.
Yeah.
And so there is a sort of energy and polish.
I think that some, he said the party won't lose the seat, but the centers can lose their
job.
Yes.
I want the centrists to lose their jobs.
Why?
Joe here brought Vladimir Putin opening the oldest vault to reveal images of biblical figures.
They all black every single one. Why are you sending me this OG meme?
for these candidates are br
that the more sort of sin
it isn't even a generatio
way that we've seen of som
and stylistic divide and
argument really at the h
again, we asked so many m
or a pro-Israel Democrat from Jersey said the DSA, which Bernie's a part of, is trying
to hijack the Democratic Party and people don't want that.
Hillary Skolton, who's in Michigan supporting Hillary Stevens, said the grand platinum situation
should be a huge warning sign to a lot of voters about what that stamp of approval might
mean.
And Ro Khanna, who is a back Bernie backer, said that Bernie is just as popular as say
the Pope and Obama and Bernie.
He said there's three people who are perhaps the most popular when it comes to public figures.
And I asked Bernie Sanders about this.
Are you making things harder for the Democrats to win back power in November?
What are you making it harder in some ways to keep to win the majority, say what happened
in Maine?
No, I think in fact the candidates we are supporting are candidates who are representing
working people and I think it's a long time overdue for the Democratic Party to stop worrying
about their wealthy campaign funders and stop worrying about the needs of working people
Was it a mistake in Maine?
I don't think people have really made the forceful case outside of his identity, to be honest with you.
And I don't accept that.
I don't accept it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I sometimes wonder if we should do that.
We should like fucking fight fire with fire a little bit, you know what I mean?
Yeah, why bother having primers at all? Let's let a pack choose the candidates from both parties and cut out the middleman
Scandalizing weighing in on primers rather than letting them leadership handpicked nominees. I love these completely manufactured stories
Not letting Jeffers and Schumer decide nominees is forcing them to divert previous
Precious cash to primers that are spending it to fight the GOP
Hey
Here's a fucking idea
Don't spend any cash on your incumbents and let your incumbents
run and fundraise on their own,
let your incumbents run on their record,
and see how well they do.
Why are you spending any cash on defending those seats?
If you got a fucking reliable incumbent,
you don't need to fucking fundraise for them.
You don't need to divert resources to your dusty ass,
old ass,
calcified ass, mummified ass fucking incumbents.
What are we doing?
This crazy, oh my God, here's another 874-year-old that we have to dump at least a couple mill
in the direction of, because now they're getting unseated by a 30-year-old.
You know what I mean?
It's crazy.
She's referring then of course to Abdul al-Sayyad about why she thinks that people have not
made the case against him, but Bernie Sanders is totally
unapologetic about his role in all of this.
He definitely is.
And having covered and watched his political activity
for some time, he and his people will make the argument.
He kind of made it there, too, that when it comes
to the electability argument, he would argue
that they are backing candidates who are electable
because they speak to this really anger
among the working class and this anger
among voters about the fact that the system is not working for them. And obviously, Bernie
would bristle at any comparisons to Donald Trump. But the fact is that they do both kind
of speak to this really angry electorate that believes that the current system is not working
for them. But of course, if you look at the general election and if you look at kind of
the Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, that wing of the party, they would say, look at the
candidates that have gotten this trouble, particularly Grand Plotner in Maine. And these
are races where we cannot afford to have any sort of problematic candidates. I would
also point out that Graham Plattner is not Abdul Al-Sayed. I mean, obviously Graham Plattner
had a litany of personal problems. He is no longer a candidate. The main issue with
Al-Sayed right now is a lot of his policy positions and that is obviously a debate,
a substantive debate that the Democratic Party can have. But you know, for Chuck Schumer
and the broader Democratic Party, every seat matters so much in the race to regain Senate
control. And for Michigan, they say this is not a good bet for us. We're going to stick with Haley
Stevens, because she is the better bet in the print or in the general election.
I think one of the funniest arguments that these guys are presenting is that Haley Stevens is
anything without $50 million of APAC money. Like, oh, fucking Haley Stevens, like we just need to
let her be the candidate because she's clearly the stronger candidate. It's like stronger how?
Why is the candidate that can't fucking fundraise as well as as Abdul the stronger candidate? She
has no base. She has no real excitement on the ground. She has no on the ground mobilization at
all. She literally just has $50 million in outside expenditures from super PACs. What happens when
they decide Mike Rogers is the same empty suit that is easily bought and sold. What then? What
happens when the corporations decide, yeah, it doesn't matter who wins this race. How do you
make sure that Haley Stevens, if the cash flow diminishes, especially with APAC, which is the
biggest donor, right? APAC is the biggest donor. Who do you think MAGA backed APAC is going to go for?
Who do you think APAC is going to fund in the general?
Let's say something unbelievably unfortunate happens that Haley Stevens wins the primary.
It's not going to happen.
We're going to make sure that it's not going to happen.
But let's say that takes place.
Haley Stevens just voted against cutting aid to Israel against the wishes of her constituents.
What makes you think she'll fight for Michiganders in the Senate or even be able to defeat Mike
Rogers when she can't stand on her own without $34 million of APAC money?
What fucking happens when APAC goes, yeah, Mike Rogers is probably a more reliable pro
Israel vote for us.
So we're, we're taking $34 million shopping more than half of her direct campaign fundraising,
which she hasn't even fundraised for.
She just fundraises for that by going, Israel comes to me in my dreams.
What then?
And where's Dave Weigel's assessment? I've lost it because I had the Dave Weigel. Does anyone have the Dave Weigel link?
I really wanted to I
Wanted to to read that because that was a good readout. Okay, so here it is
The long democratic story
Since 2016 is that the party leadership getting weaker and less popular Sanders in his movement get among among Dems get more popular
The most successful period for the anti-left faction a pack DMFI etc was 2021 the 2023
When Biden had won and was doing a lot of stuff in the left liked it and Bernie supported it
As well. So anti-left faction could beat Nina Turner with ads about her trashing Biden in 2020
They could beat Aaron Regenberg with a candidate who highlighted all of his work for Biden, etc
the 2024 election discredited
The anti-left faction the centrist faction lost all of its gusto because they lost
They were moderate
They campaigned with Liz Cheney.
They refused to talk about Israel in terms that the public demanded.
They dropped their anti-ice sentiment.
They were pro-ice, objectively pro-ice, openly.
They never talked about like trans people or anything like that.
They moderated to the center and it didn't fucking work and they lost.
This was huge.
The electability argument only works if you fucking win elections.
If you lose elections twice to Donald Trump in spectacular fashion, as the moderate, as
the centrist, as the reasonable centrist, all of a sudden all those people that were
leaning into you because they believe the electability argument, they're not going to
believe you anymore, they fumbled the ball against Trump again as Dave reports, and no
one in that faction is as strong, popular or good at building crowds as Sanders.
Add to this that Obama could be, but he doesn't want to engage in primaries, and that a lot
New York Dems specifically wrecked their credibility by endorsing Cuomo in 2025.
They look like retreat losers who should just let Sanders et al run the ball.
Yeah, when you see Naira Tandon depict herself as an expert on electability,
please remember that Tandon was one of the architects of the Hillary Clinton 2008 campaign
that explicitly insisted that Barack Obama could not win a general election. Yep.
What's especially interesting about Michigan Senate is that Stevens is actually trying
to run on the establishment dem record, auto rescue, Obamacare, hey, it wasn't just a decade
of not delivering for the working class.
And the rebuttal is, look, where the monies come from, her to say that, not she's, oh
yeah, and the rebuttal is look, look at where the money's coming from for her to say that
not that she's wrong and Obama sucked.
Yeah.
This person says also a pack and all the super packs are basically how our campaign is funded and there's your guarantee in the general
She will have that money sprout a spout which is huge concern about electability
Yeah, that's been an interesting discourse if a pack wins her the primary in this sits out the general
How many Democrats are gonna want to be everything on a pack?
I think there should be conditions on the aid the United States sends to Jerusalem and
Tel Aviv.
Absolutely not.
I'm not sure.
Israel comes to me in my dreams.
There are conditions particularly in this circumstance.
That's what the traitors of Israel are pushing for.
Israel comes to me in my dreams.
A very close ally.
Israel comes to me in my dreams.
Of the United States, the only democracy in the Middle East.
Israel comes to me in my dreams.
That has been attacked. That's in the middle of a war.
That is reckoning with their own civilians being taken hostage
and put into terrible, terrible situations.
Israel comes to me in my dreams.
of Iran, knocking on the door, chomping at the bits here to see this destruction.
By the way, notice how she's not presenting herself as a fucking yokel with this like
aggressive, quote unquote, fake Michigan accent that no Michigander I've ever encountered says
is authentic to Michigan. I have, I've been thinking about this a lot.
I've been thinking about this a lot, and I think Hailey Stevens is very intelligent, okay?
I think Hailey Stevens is specifically beefing up the, I'm a yokel who loves Michigan!
For one reason and one reason only, her accent and her entire outfit, her entire persona is a
love letter to Michigan. This is her own assessment, right? This is the way she wants to present herself.
So whenever she's asked hard questions,
whenever she's asked hard questions, not this, by the way, because back then this wasn't a hard
answer for her, but if she were to be asked the same exact question now, which she was a couple
days ago, she just goes, oh yeah, well I love Michigan. You already know. I'm just, you know,
There's a lot of great people in Michigan who you know in our in our communities
I love our communities in Michigan and then
She never answers the fucking question. I've and we haven't noticed this
She is such a fucking politician dude. I think she hasn't been hit on this as much
Because we're so focused on her like weird
weird like yokel sensibilities right the way she presents herself is like a
real hard work in michiana a little bit of stick at top right like she she
does that as a deflection she does that as a fucking deflection dude straight up
straight up she talks like she's a uber but she's from Rochester I do not get it
Yeah, she's doing it on purpose. I think, I think she's doing it on purpose where they're like,
oh, everyone's, everyone's clowning on her because she says, Maddie Maroon. Okay. Here,
look, look at this question. This, and then the other question about aid to Israel,
Milhays actually cooked her ass. Okay. Milhays had two very good questions for her. And both
Both of these questions were not fucking answered and I don't think people are paying close
attention.
We're dropping the ball a little bit.
I think more people, Mills Hayes, sorry, I think more people should pay attention to
what Hailey Stevens doesn't say, not how she says it.
She wants you to pay attention to how she speaks.
She doesn't want you to pay attention to the fact that she's not answering any fucking
questions.
Okay?
into this. Representative Haley Stevens responds to concerns over continued US aid to Israel.
In contrast, reposition with Democratic primary opponent Dr. Abdel Said, who is called for
ending military aid to Israel.
For those people who are concerned about continued US aid to Israel, what would you want them
to know?
Well, I'm very proud that my constituent just recognized my support for Jewish Americans
who feel very-
Boom, immediate deflection.
Oh, well, yeah, well, Jewish Americans really like my position on this issue.
What's your position on this issue? Didn't answer. Didn't answer what our position is. Didn't answer the question.
What do you have to say to your constituents that are not supportive of your position on Israel,
but actually have a very negative attitude about your position on Israel, considering that the overwhelming majority of your constituents
want you to stop aid to Israel, which you voted against. You voted against the
Massey amendment this past week against the interest of your constituents who
are overwhelmingly demanding you cut aid to Israel. What do you have to say to
that? That's the question. And immediately she goes back to, oh, well,
Jewish Americans feel some type of way. It's like, no, that's not true. That's not
true either. Jewish Americans also want to cut aid to Israel. That's a fucking lie.
Very targeted right now that anti-Semitism is rising. I didn't get a chance to ask him.
What the fuck does that have to do with conditioning aid to Israel? What the fuck does that have
to do with conditioning aid to Israel? You still have not answered the question.
How he is doing. I'm going to go back and do that. We had a temple that was blown up
my it here what does this have to do with conditioning aid to israel again
three talking points none of it has addressed
what do you say to your constituents
what do you say to your constituents who want you to cut aid to israel
rest after and it's a tough time
and here in michigan we've got robust
an incredible diversity.
And my heart has gone out and I've spoken out for the people of Lebanon, innocent people.
This question is not about what are your feelings about the victims of Israel.
This question is, what are you going to fucking say to your constituents who don't want
you to send aid to Israel who are worried about your allegiance to the state of Israel.
There's no answer here. And she does this all the time. And even I didn't realize
that she was just constantly fucking avoiding these direct questions. She never answers
direct questions. The first journal is free ball for all the reporters out here. I know
some of you are local you're watching I know some of you and your producers are in here right now
free money for you free ball for you get her on a single fucking issue get her on one thing
okay one thing it doesn't matter what it is if you can get her on Israel excellent okay
Okay?
One thing, free money for you, free ball for you, it will be great in your resume, okay?
She never answers questions.
She never answers direct questions with a direct answer.
Lebanon, our incredible Lebanese-American community here in Michigan.
We've got remarkable business leaders, small businesses.
Lebanese American Chambers here in Michigan, Lebanese restaurants who were standing.
I love eating. I love eating at Lebanese restaurants. Like, what the fuck?
Why is she not answering the question? Answer the fucking question. I don't care if you love
Labneh and you prefer it to Hamas. Why do we give a shit? The question is not about that.
Ending up alongside congregants of that temple, making sure that families had food and I'm in the
Yeah, and the more she refuses to answer the questions the more she fucking puts the twang in there, okay?
Yeah, we've got Michigan food
liable yard
The more she fucking runs away
You saw that take that I know who you are what tick tock
The more the more
She fucking gets asked a direct question that she doesn't want to answer the more she fucking goes
Bringing people together the difference between me and my democratic primary opponent Abdul is that Abdul
Refuses to acknowledge the two-state solution. Yeah, and then he turns around goes Abdul Abdul my opponent Abdul
Huh
Yeah, she is brother. It just hit me. She's the Wisconsin woman Boris Johnson. Yeah, she's doing the same technique the Boris Johnson expertly rode to victory. Boris Johnson went to the best schools in London.
But she he expertly presented himself admit you saw the tick-tock. What is the tick what tick-tock?
What fucking tick-tock?
I don't know what you're saying just send me the fucking tick-tock. Maybe I saw it
What?
Not only do I want safe safety in Lebanon and dignity for the people of Lebanon, I want
that for Palestine.
I want that for Gaza.
I do not believe a one state solution gets us anywhere closer to long term peace.
It is very clear that Mr. Net.
Are you seeing Haley Stevens and Kinebore Showsen?
I think Haley seems to be a lot smarter than she less on and this is an expert strategy for her to be like
I'm just a dummy y'all go
Wow look at me like she literally uses this as a way
She uses this as a way to never answer the question and then people don't even fucking realize that she just danced around the subject
If she was like Pete Buddha judge if she spoke like Pete Buddha judge people will go off. I know what you're doing
You're fucking phony
Okay. This is a style. Okay. This is something that a lot of politicians deploy.
Kennedy in Louisiana does this. Boris Johnson in England did this. George Bush II did this as well.
I don't know. I'm kind of dumb. I don't know. Whatever. Like,
like this is, this is a classic technique. Pete Buddha judge on the other hand cannot
do it, right? Cause his, his academic pedigree renders him, uh, unable to present himself
like a fucking yokel. JD Vance is the same thing. He tries to do it and he fails to do
it. JD Vance can't present himself like that cause he's too Yale coded. Okay. So when JD
J.D. Vance gets in there and goes, you know, you know me, oh, my wife, really sure.
When he does that, when J.D. Vance does that, everybody goes, bitch, shut the fuck up.
You went to Yale.
You sound like you went to Yale.
Stop doing this shit.
Okay.
Haley Stevens, on the other hand, is a very good politician.
And I don't mean that she, that's a good thing for us.
And that's not a good thing for Michiganders, okay.
She is capable of dancing around these issues, but people, when they watch, when people watch
or speak, okay, when people watch or speak, when people hear her talk, they're too focused
on the accent and they, they, it just like, it develops.
It's a speech pattern that she deploys, in my opinion, to create this facade that she's
just like the average person.
across Michigan. I am trying to lead. I am trying to lead with consistency.
Like two minutes and 10 seconds, no answer to the fucking question. Here, let's look at this one.
Again, Haley Stevens, our Senator Bernie Sanders, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
campaigning in Michigan this weekend for her Democratic primary opponent, Dr. Abdul-Al-Sayed,
in the U.S. Senate race. What do you have to say to the supporters? If you win, what do you have
to say to the supporters of Abdul-Al-Sayed? Look at what she says here.
rally tomorrow with Sanders and AOC for your opponent. There are a lot of people in the
Democratic Party that are looking for that progressive kind of movement. How would you
try to bring those people in? I'm just curious if Mr. Sanders is willing to acknowledge the great
work that I did.
What?
How are you going to bring the progressives into your movement?
If you win, how are you going to bring in the progressives to your movement?
That's not an answer to that question.
This is a real concern.
This is precisely how Hillary lost Michigan. This is precisely how Kamala lost Michigan by avoiding the progressive flank in Michigan, right?
This is actual Biden won Michigan by leaning in to the progressive forces.
So it's a real concern. There have been numerous instances where Michigan is now like there have been numerous failures in the last decade that Michigan is now seen as a purple state when it's not supposed to be as a part of the fucking blue safe haven, right?
It's supposed to be a part of the blue wall. It's no longer a part of the blue wall because of this exact problem.
So, the question that was asked is very specific.
What do you say?
How are you going to bring in the progressives into your movement if you win?
Her answer is, I'm just sure he's burning every day.
What do you mean?
I'm just curious if Mr. Sanders is willing to acknowledge the great work that I did alongside
President Obama on the auto rescue.
He had just himself gotten into the United States Senate and I don't remember him being
around for the auto rescue.
But I certainly remember Archleaves being rolled up to save the...
That's not the question.
That's your pitch.
That's your campaign pitch.
That's you attacking Bernie Sanders.
The question is, the question is, how are you going to win over their fans if you win
the fucking primary. Biden won Michigan. Yeah, I said Biden won Michigan by leaning into the
progressives. Listen to my words. Hillary lost the progressive wing and lost Michigan.
Kamala Harris never actually made an attempt to win over the progressives and lost Michigan.
Joe Biden on the other hand, Joe Biden on the other hand, what did Joe Biden do? Joe Biden
ran a fairly progressive campaign. Pay attention to what I'm saying. Joe Biden ran a progressive
campaign. He hugged Bernie. He hugged and kissed Bernie Sanders. So much so that Bernie fucking,
you know, rode for Joe Biden endlessly.
The 200,000 Michigan jobs to stand up for working people and to do the right thing.
And I'm also really proud of the record that I have, you know, I have been recognized as the most effective lawmaker for Michigan because I write laws and I pass laws and I make a difference.
This is not an answer.
You wanted to win, stop giving her tips.
Wait, what?
I'm not giving her tips.
The fuck?
I'm unloading.
I'm giving the journalist tips on how to ask better questions, nail her on an answer, ask her to actually give a clear-cut answer.
treat her like you would Abdul.
Reporters never let their their subjects get away with this level of deflection.
When it's someone who's a insurgent left candidate.
You know, I'm not in the complaining class of pointing fingers.
I'm in the class of winning tough elections of making sure someone like Mike
Rogers in the state of Michigan here, which is,
This is a toss-up race. It is not a guarantee.
And this is why it's frankly been so important that, you know, we go through a rigorous democratic nominating process.
We haven't seen Mike Rogers campaigning, but we have heard him saying that he wants to go to the U.S. Senate to rubber...
Yeah, there's nothing. No answer.
Of course, we do have this rally tomorrow with...
I've noticed that what gets lost in the Yokel shiig is how much Haley Stevens actually avoids
answering direct questions, whether it be Israel, or even about winning over the progressives,
or even about courting the progressives,
if she wins the primary.
Yeah, something that Kamala and...
I don't know what to do with it.
Anyway.
What the fuck?
It break my...
She's Sarah Palin Maxing.
Like an expert politician.
century should know that Mike Rogers thinks Haley and Abdul are the same anyway. No, that
doesn't, that's not a good talking point. That's actually a bad talking point. You don't want to
fucking even bring up any similarities, whether it be from the opposition or anything at all.
And it's not even true. Mike Rogers doesn't think
Abdul and Haley are the same. Mike Rogers knows that Haley is easier to beat.
Mike Rogers knows he has mostly, most likely no real shot at defeating any Democrat.
But if it's between Abdul and Haley Stevens, I think that there are some Republicans.
There are some Republicans who do sincerely think that Abdul is like too radical because they're dumb fucking boomers
and they don't know how to read the room in the same way that our dumb fucking boomers and the establishment Democrats don't know how to read the room.
However, however, I would go so far see the smart ones. The smart money is that they actually do know that Haley Stevens is a easier candidate to defeat.
But that's it. Anyway, that's all I got for today. Seven hours. I'm freaking tired chat.
That's all I got for you for tonight. I'll see you tomorrow as always. We're back
Here's the tick-tock people claimed you saw
Okay, well, why you got to do that right as I'm leaving to here's a take a week off, bitch
You know
Anyway, love you guys
See you tomorrow, Monday Newsday baby, we're back.

The roguin' of the left's a mead of him, but still a course
The tricorps assassination, the fear at nonline show
Eight full fucking years of this, plenty more to go
Doing fun stuff tomorrow Throw PBS up on the screen
A man-made whore reaction Brought to you by this life-soothed dream
Cause there he is again, the sun is streaming, the sun is streaming
There he is again, the sun is streaming, the sun is streaming
Can't doubt in the DNC, I will emerge the gold.
Call Medina propaganda to shut down people's throats.
CBS Israeli news, a coup, a regime falls.
A full-blown fascist takeover and still the duty calls.
A total radicalization coming out to sea
A system where he'll always fail, it's up to you and me
All these daily streams, whether short or whether long
I've helped millions of people keep it moving right along
Cause there he is again, her son is streaming
Her son is streaming
There he is again, her son is streaming
I saw him screaming
But hey, what can you say?
That's PBS for you
But he'll play games real soon
Just you wait
Say hey, what can you say?
That's PBS for you
But he'll move on real soon
Just you wait, ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, hey, what can you say, hey, and that's BBS for you?
Well, pull your lungs real soon, just you wait, sh-a-da-da, sh-a-da-da, sh-a-da-da-da-da-da-da, hey, what can you say, hey, and that's BBS for you?
I held to Jeff Ice real soon, just you wait
But hey, what can you say?
Let's be BS for you
Brought on by viewers like you
Just you wait
Just you wait
