What's going on everybody?
I hope everyone's having a fantastic evening afternoon, pre-noon, no matter where you are
in the world.
I'm a song player in this house and I'm broadcasting live from Sony, California, Los Angeles folks
who are live and alive.
And this is my partner anniversary, apparently, as everyone has figured it out.
It's Saturday August 8th, 2026.
And I'm coming to you live from 83 degrees in sunny Los Angeles, California, on stolen Tongva territory.
We're live, we're alive.
I hope everyone's having a wonderful one.
It's Saturday, fun day.
But of course before we get to the fun we got some news to cover.
There's a lot going on in the world.
I'm down here in Prospect Park because a follower said there were drinking fountains there that were taken away by the city. Please bring the drinking fountains back.
I'm on it. The heatwaves arrived but our parts plumber's got here first. They're getting the water flowing so that New Yorkers can safely enjoy their summer days in Prospect Park.
Take a sip if you so desire. Absolutely.
Delicious. Stay cool and stay safe, New York.
It's crazy. He's so goaded. He's so good.
Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, boys, girls and enbies, I'm glad that they got the Tiktok account figured out because they were kind of absent.
kind of absent for a minute there on Tiktok anyway ladies and gentlemen
you get your ass beat in an alley busted lip having motherfucker no I'm a skin
picker I hope you guys not realize that I routinely will just like bite my
lips too much. Why do you think I'm always doing this? I'm biting my lips. I buy my nails,
I buy my lips. I'm a picker. I'm piker and I'm a picker. I'm 60 plus and I found you
because there's thousands of names of people who are attacking me. Have you ever surveyed
how many older people are actually watching, especially women? I think your audience
we may be way broader than Twitch demographic suggests? No, I think recently, this past year
or so, I think my audience got a lot older. Dermatophagia? That's what it's called? Don't
Don't worry, older person, we will figure it out when we do the census anyway, we haven't
done it yet, we do it every August, we'll figure out when to do it.
This community is already way old by Twitch standards, but also increasingly becoming old-old
by old standards, young by media standards, young by politics standards, but still becoming
older nonetheless. Everyone keeps growing year after year. Everyone's getting a year older.
Anyway, I'm 24 with my hairline 52, god damn.
I don't know what to do.
Anyway, break out the categories above 40 this time, please.
I'm too scared to do it.
Yeah, this is part of the broadcast where I tell you about my personal news about what was going on in the world of the Sonhouse and I have a piker, but you already know I'm a shut ass loser, nothing going on in my life.
nine hours yesterday played some games yesterday. I know a lot of people enjoyed it. Gaming is back
in a big way at the Hassanabe broadcast. Yeah. This is a gaming broadcast now.
I didn't watch any anime. That's what you're wondering. I just went to sleep. Hi. Hi chat.
Have a general understanding. You, you chat. You, I'm waving at you.
Oh, you're 40.
It's crazy.
I'm just getting attacked now. Stop. What is this?
Can't have you got that.
And this is what you're supposed to do!
You need to defeat us!
I love abortion!
I'm a Democrat!
I'm on a pergama of errors!
This is where-
Anti-Fox is overlaying hyperbole.
A figure speech that used extreme intentional exaggeration to make a point and humor shows strong feelings.
It is not meant to be taken as literal truth.
Yeah, sometimes I think like I'm too autistic to make jokes, but then also I feel like everyone else is all really hell autistic in their reception of jokes.
I also realized something this morning.
I realized something this morning.
A lot of people don't know what the fuck twitch is like boomers don't know like.
Like in the hands of boomers, when they look at my clips up until recently, I've only had
to deal with bad faith attacks from people on the internet.
And I didn't realize that like boomers probably have no concept of what twitch is.
So they just every clip that they see of me talking, they think is just me talking.
These are my opinions.
They don't realize that like most of these clips are not me talking to myself, I'm actually
responding to chatters.
And I wonder how much of that, like how much that plays a role in people's like lack of
comprehension on what I actually am about, like there's got to be kind hearted like
liberal boomers out there or people who just like don't understand twitch who like
see clips like this and go oh my god this guy's like a monster.
Like there has to be some people like they don't think they don't think that this is like heavily
edited. I guess I guess they have to think a little bit more and try to figure out why like so many
Why so many like progressive black brown collaborators of mine don't realize I'm this like vicious
anti black like anti woman like I'm this vicious guy they're probably they're probably
shocked by it they're like well that's crazy wow you know I was asked you do you feel
like Hassan is a good campaign manager or campaign surrogate.
What does she say?
The only one that is true is anti gay.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's it.
The I'm a foe.
I can't even like respond jokingly to shit.
Jake Tapper setting up your most hate or ass blood rotation for the show
tomorrow too. Oh, my goat. Oh, my God, Corbin is going to have a hard fucking time with this
panel. Jesus Christ. I don't know who Kristen soltas Anderson is. I guess echelon insights.
That's a pollster. So she's probably not terrible, but we got literally Scott Walker
and near a tandem. Oh, this is going to be a panel of, of, whoo. But Corbin's the man.
He's actually very good. Cor, uh, yeah, Corbin trans the man he'll cook. I also saw something
very strange. Bill Maher likes Abdul El Sayed, which is kind of remarkable. I don't know what
happened there. I don't know what's going on, dude. I think it's very weird.
It could have been the fact that he did the Taylor Swift dance thing,
you know, to show how he's not like a scary Muslim guy. He's like very,
He's like a teddy bear that white people could be not scared by, you know, or maybe
he heard the, maybe he heard the Roger, like Roger memes and he was like, oh my God, this
guy's the funny, this guy's a real comedic talent, you know, I just don't know what
it is.
Maybe it's because he's hot.
I'll take it.
I don't give a fuck.
he just, maybe it's because Abdul says he's a capitalist. Abdul was like, yeah, I'm a capitalist.
I love capitalism. And Bill Maher was like, maybe that's what it takes. You could just,
you could just run around and have the Bernie platform because that's Abdul's platform is
the Bernie platform, right? Which is a social democratic platform. It's a modest social
democratic platform. And as long as you say you're like love capitalism, it's just,
you know, gotten a little out of hand or something. People are like, oh, thank God.
Oh thank god.
Another day, another...
Every time of the day, Fox News is talking about us.
Fox News is talking about the DSA.
Fox News is talking about me saying that we're terrifying.
They have democratic consultants that they can bring on
to actually attack us as well.
To make it seem like the actual voters oppose this worldview.
To make a worldview seem toxic.
It's all hands on deck right now.
Do not fall victim to this kind of propaganda. We will win. We will get out on the other side of this
Victorious and we will deliver an agenda that centers the needs of the working class in this country
And we'll continue fighting for it no matter
Every hour of the day. Okay
Our our edits getting better
Uh, is that what's going on? I feel like the edits are maybe getting better
Anyway top planche confirm Hormuz deal us out of ammo strict closed public enemy number one hung dinosaur
get in now. Saturday fun day is imminent. Do we have a blast off me? Hit the bong for
Hong chat. Yeah. Did you see Van Lathen went on CNN talking about your Hamas Israel taken
didn't back down. Let's go. My goat van was on CNN on Iran for later breaking. Israel's
preparing independent attacks on Iran without the US. That is the jump. That's not going
to happen. No shot. That would be the dumbest fucking thing that Israel could do. That'd
be really funny. I don't think they're going to do that. But who knows where we're at
at this point. That actually kind of came out of nowhere. That that is a surprising.
Do you guys have a blast-off meme please?
Do we have a blast-off meme please?
Cute blast-offs.
Okay, I got it.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Those are cute.
Cutie patootie blast-offs.
Let's go.
Um, but yeah, we need more aura edits. We need more aura edits chat. That's what we need. We need more aura edits for ontal stat
Normie libs love the the comeback that he had Abdul had for Trump
Shitting in his diapers in the White House. That was good. I mean, he's just cooking. He's just cooking
I hope he doesn't like go too crazy. You know what I mean? Cuz like
like, because like, come on guy. That's the best. He's, he's Egyptian. He's just Egyptian.
Okay. If you all have never met an Egyptian American man, you are meeting one right now
on the timeline for the first time ever. He is just like, that's all this is. Everybody
thinks like, Oh my God, he's such a unique charismatic talent. It's like, no, that's
That's just, he's just Egyptian.
That's it.
Yeah, Egyptians got jokes.
That's all they got for the most part.
Nowadays they're occupying.
I think the van, Latham, Klipka, Automata, you need to open my logs to see.
Huh.
interesting. I don't know why I got them out of, but
Abdul stealing all the dad jokes. Yeah, he's cooking. He's cooking with the dad jokes.
By the way, speaking, our boy is top, okay, top dog, top of the leaderboard right now.
Absolutely cooking, absolutely cooking.
Number one on AgBlue, $2.8 million in approximately a day.
Like it's just an unfathomable amount of number and let's be real, he's going to need it.
He's going to need it.
We might do another, maybe we'll do another fundraiser if there's like any need.
at any point we might do some of them potentially because like let's be real apac is going to
dump boat loads apac already has done boat loads into this race they're going to double
down most likely um it's really interesting like being more involved in races and and
getting to see underneath the hood. I have developed so much cynicism. Like here, one
of the things that I bet you guys have never really thought about, I certainly never did,
was the fact that like, if you actually fundraise, like fundraising is everything in this game.
It's everything in this game. How much, like you, from the outside and myself included,
oftentimes discount the importance of fundraising in Washington DC and the importance of like
how much money a campaign has, it's everything. All of these other like national groups, they
look at how much you are capable of fundraising, small dollar donations and whatnot.
But fundraising is still very much, even on the like the populist left side of elections.
Everybody looks at numbers. Everybody looks at fundraising and fundraising is actually
unbelievably important because it can actually stave off the competition. Adam
Hammerley's race, fund raised early and were able to get a lot of money. And then
Adam was able to basically brand himself, define himself with all of that money
before outside money could come in and define him in the most negative ways
possible. Because it's a lot more difficult to represent someone in a
negative manner once they've been able to reach a certain level in that television market, in that
audience, and they've been able to showcase themselves in a positive light.
So if a campaign is actually capable of fundraising a lot early on,
that means that a lot of outside money will be scared to enter the race because they'll
think it's going to be a waste. That's part of the reason why our initiative with Abdul,
the push that we actually went in with Abdul, was very consequential because it was a huge
lesson for APAC and also super PACs in general. They won't talk about how panicked they are,
They won't talk about how panicked they are in the media, but behind closed doors, they must be freaking the fuck out because there's never been an instance where someone got outspent 12 to 1 and then defeated their opponent.
It's not happened. This has never happened before.
for. So that's a huge deal, I think for a lot of others as well. It's so funny that the first
thing the media did was immediately go after me and be like, well, you got to let go of this guy.
This guy's bad news. This guy's bad news. And it's really funny because it's like,
there's a real reason for why they're doing it. I mean, there's a multitude of
different reasons, right? Obviously, it's a disciplining operation, right? That's first and foremost,
because they can't yell at the voters, but they can yell at like someone who is expressing the needs
of the voters. And it's really interesting because, like, the thing is, the thing is,
There are obviously outliers, right? There are obviously outliers. But the Abdul race is a great example of like outside expenditures dumping,
front loading and dumping as much money as possible into a race trying to define this opponent and failing to do so because the opponent was a media demon.
Abdul was able to get a lot of earned media, not from mainstream outlets initially, but
certainly from places like this one, Breaking Points, Dropsites, Zetail, many others.
We all covered the race early on.
We helped Abdul define himself, right?
We played a role in allowing Abdul to be able to define himself, like not help is
not the right word for some of these other platforms because they are, you know, independent
They're not like affiliated in any way shape or form
But
That was a huge deal
And I think that's part of the reason why mainstream media back by some of these like same corporate entities and same
Masters is
aggressively trying to stamp out
independent media outlets or at least like an outspoken spokesperson who
operates sometimes like a campaign surrogate.
That's it. That's my experience at least but it turns out my queen, my champion
and Ilhan Omar was on Caitlyn Collins on CNN.
And the question that she asked her was,
do you view Hussain as a good campaign surrogate for Democrats?
Now I don't know what she said, I have no idea,
I didn't even realize, but that's where we're gonna first start.
We're gonna start off here on our journey.
Yeah, I mean, in terms of that,
one person who had faced questions on that
as Francesca Hong in Wisconsin.
Can I ask you on another part of this,
Congressman, and I hope you can still hear me,
one powerful voice that has been a big topic of conversation
is the left-wing streamer, Hasan Piker.
He's someone that you've campaigned alongside with.
Let's see, no introduction that says anti-Semitic,
not even controversial, just says left-wing streamer.
That's it, that's right.
put out a video backing your reelection today. There are moderate Democrats who have criticized
Abdul El Sayed for a period of the campaign. There's something so funny about, by the way,
moderate Democrats getting mad at Ihan Omar for campaigning with me. At that point, they have
to figure out who do they hate more. You know what I mean? Like who, who do the moderate
Democrats hate more, me or Ilhan Omar? I don't know. Because this one, no, Caitlyn Collins
doesn't hate me. No, I've met her. I've had conversations with her in the past, like she's
chill. But it is funny to think like in my mind, who would a moderate Democrat, if there
was an opportunity to like take out me or Ilhan Omar, I don't know if moderate Democrats
would be able to, to choose between the two. They try to hit both buttons.
Dr. I'm the one saying have worked in public health and I'd like to discuss the inequities in our healthcare system.
CNN reporter, is this on piker like your best friend or your second best friend?
It is a very McCarthy style interview though. CNN anchor, are you now or have you ever been
and associate of the known communist and terror sympathizer Hassan Piker.
Do you disavow Hassan Piker and his known communist and terroristic ways?
That's a great tweet. That's funny.
when Jesse Waters defended you on the first rally without dual?
As you can send a candidate Abdul El Sayeed inviting Hassan Piker to a rally yesterday,
refusing to condemn any of Piker's pathetic beliefs.
It's funny that we're, like nothing has changed.
Let the radical malo and communist Hassan Piker speak so long as he can resist the
urge to cover the death of his political opponents.
Universities do this to TPUSA often and blame some admin error, et cetera.
It's wrong.
Let him speak.
conservative speak peacefully? I mean it doesn't even like Andrew Colvid has no motion it doesn't
even matter he's just covering his bases because he realizes so many Republicans have been like
excited at the prospect of me getting canceled at my speech getting canceled UW.
You are more of a threat to them because you can mix with white America they don't have to
other. No, I thought I could.
Why don't they just hand Piker suitcase full of cash only the terminally online would know who he
was if CNN didn't cover him like it's a world war. This is a thing that I also see. This is a thing
that I also see from people and I find it very strange. Like people are like speculating, oh,
this is gangbusters for him. I bet he's loving it. It's like, no, I'm not. Okay. I promise you
like I put on a strong face right but no it's not great to be consistently called
and a terrorist an anti-semite now they're saying I'm anti-black I'm a woman
hater like all of this stuff they're they're literally on the one hand saying
I'm too woke and also on the other hand without even stopping to you know
revel in the irony saying that I'm fucking anti-woke and it's crazy
because I get none of the benefits.
Imagine if I was this centrist guy
who is, you know, two woke for the anti-wokes
and two against woke for the wokes,
I would probably be able to find myself
in this weird centrist Goldilocks zone, right?
Nope.
You're only experiencing a pinky
of what our Queen Brittany had to endure.
I agree.
It's true, free Brittany, free me, free you.
So you're a centrist then?
No, man, I'm not a centrist.
Anyway, let's see.
So Caitlin Collins asks Silan Omar,
do you think he's a good,
do you think he's a good campaign surrogate?
Let's see what she had to say.
with him. What's your view of that criticism?
I mean people, you know, in a free country people can have opinions about people who campaign with candidates.
I certainly had my own criticisms of folks who campaigned, folks that were on the top of the ticket for us in 2024.
Ultimately, we all put our heads down, try to get to voters, have the conversations that
are necessary, because we're not able to have any kind of the changes that we want until
we win.
And so everybody's trying to do the best that they can to try to get their message
out and campaign with whoever that they think can help them do that.
Sometimes not everybody's going to agree the kind of message that you use, but it's
ultimately the decisions that campaigns have to make.
I know those decisions are not easy every single time,
but they are decisions that are necessary in order
for you to figure out what your coalition looks like.
Do you view Hassan Piker as a good campaign surrogate
for Democrats?
Well, I don't know about all Democrats,
but certainly for those of us who represent
younger demographics, he does have a certain reach.
When I was on his podcast,
when he was in my district doing metro search.
And he will be, I think, back here in Minnesota.
People who oftentimes are not tuned in,
people who have lost hope in the electoral process
are starting to pay attention and are tuning in.
And we see a lot more volunteers coming out
to our campaign headquarters because they hear Hassan say,
it's important for you to get involved.
And even though they might have not voted in a couple of election cycles,
they are paying attention now and in a primary,
when people just know about November elections,
it is important to have as many messengers as possible.
Yep.
Notice how Caitlyn Collins doesn't push back as much
compared to someone like Dana Bash or Tapper.
Yeah, I mean, because she's just asking the question
whether or not I am an adequate campaign surrogate and why you know why is this is a way to inform
the audience is a way to inform the CNN audience to be like what why are people why are these
politicians still like actively seeking out why are why are politicians actively seeking out like
my surrogacy I guess if you want to call it that and like there's a reason for it and
like, of course, if it wasn't successful, if it wasn't helpful, they don't owe me anything.
Why the fuck would they invite me? It doesn't even help me anyway. But yeah, Caitlyn Collins
is doing the right thing. This is like, you know, asking a regular question without
trying to set up like a gotcha. It's framed as a serious question. It's framed as a cutting
question, but it's not like a gotcha to follow up and be like, well, don't you feel like
you're a hater of all Jewish people? Don't you feel like you want to put all Jewish people
in prison if you have...
Why are you always raising? Nobody ever wants to vote for us. Oh.
Hi there. I'm somebody everybody wants to vote for.
GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!
LEAD! LEAD! LEAD! LEAD! LEAD! LEAD! LEAD! LEAD!
I was just trying to make things more affordable for people.
OH! OH! OH!
Why? It's what they want! I was just, I'm doing what the people want, you know, I don't understand!
RAAH! RAAH! RAAH!
If the people want it, if we give it to them to vote! Okay, alright, alright, okay, okay, I'm leaving. Come on, dude.
Don't you say those words are out here! Don't you ever say those words are out here!
I'm still gonna run though, I'm definitely gonna win.
I'm gonna do a lot easier if we work together, alright, oh, I'm leaving.
Where are we always losing? Nobody ever...
Yeah.
They hate victory.
I can't believe they got Center for American Progress headquarters.
They got a camera in there.
Turning Point USA got paid for doing what you did and didn't get all the pile on you're receiving.
Yeah, that's precisely the reason why.
That is precisely the reason why.
Everyone is coming after me.
So, fuck do you mean?
That's the whole point, because Turning Point USA was a paid operation, and it was a part
of the Republican Party.
I'm not.
Contrary to what people, contrary to what people who want to present themselves as
like more radical than me, try to actively claim in an effort to, you know, boost their
profile, I guess. Contrary to that, I'm not affiliated with the Democratic Party, you know,
and I mean, I'm not a part of the establishment. I'm not like, I do this on my own. This is
funded. This operation is entirely self-funded by you, the viewers, for you, the viewers.
Your voluntary contributions in the form of a touch prime, which is free, or a $6 a month
subscription is what keeps this going. I spend my own money when I'm flying around.
I don't get paid by campaigns. We also end up fundraising for campaigns as well.
Many of you go out and take time out of your busy schedules to go and door knock
and phone bank for candidates. So I think that's the real threat. The real threat is that most
people in the media and most people that do this kind of stuff, they do it for money.
And if you do it for money, you're controllable. If you do it for money, you'll do it for anybody,
right? You won't do it just for people that you trust. You won't do it just for people
that you have faith in, you'll do it for anybody who pays you.
And that's the norm.
There's never been a situation where you have an ideologue.
There's never been a situation where you've had someone who actually believes in the
shit that they're saying, who is mobilizing people who also believe in that same cause
and is willing to throw their weight around.
Do you understand?
Vizvan Vandal. Goddamn. We got fashion heads in here too. Shout out Vizvan Vandal. Yeah,
I mean, it's pretty crazy that the GOP convention is going to target three figures, right? And
it's like two of these guys are running to bring back the Senate majority to the Democrats.
And then the other guy is me.
I find that very strait- I find that pretty insane, right?
I'm not running for anything.
I have no intention to run for anything.
But I guess it's alright because like I said, I can tank it.
I can tank it.
I can sit here and eat it all day.
I have been for years and I'm drawing all the aggro.
I'm drawing all the aggro away from other wonderful candidates that are all around the country.
Instead of yelling at their tweets from 2018, they just talk about, you know, my comments, my jokes, my memes, and my very sincere moments as well.
And it is very strange.
It is a very strange thing that they're doing, but and I don't think it's going to work.
to work. I just wish that I had a little bit more support from the institutional side of
the liberal Democratic Party. This is the next clip that's gonna be spread. Yeah, I saw Elon Musk was
highlighting it. This is so funny to me. They're literally taking shit. They're taking shit.
And like this is something that was peak, right? The great replacement. This is me making
a joke about the great replacement and making fun of people who believe in it sincerely.
And then, but nowadays because people are much more insane on the timeline, they're now like,
oh no, he's like revealing his plan, right?
So it's funny on the one hand, the same Republicans are saying, I'm actually promoting
the great replacement. I'm saying like white genocide is real and happening and it's good.
On the other hand, they're saying I'm anti-black. And it's usually the same accounts.
It's usually the same accounts. Now this one came, I believe, from Rape Tone,
generational rapist tone. He, he, some, yeah, I assume it's like probably DGG or someone
that gave him the clip because I don't think he went back and found a clip from 2018 that's
like cut this way, you know? But yeah, Elon Musk is, you know, the preeminent cuck fetishist. He
responded to it. So old a song clip resurfaces, Rape tone. We want more immigrants to come into
your country. He's an American. Fuck your sisters and then your daughters. We're going to destroy
the white race bitch. And it's so funny. They're like, why can't this guy get banned? It's like,
like, well, first of all, this not how this works. Okay. Perhaps Elon is more mad about
this than others. Despite the fact that he himself is an immigrant, but a white one. Because
this hits close to home for him. I've done nothing of the sort for the record, but he might
think otherwise. You know what I mean? I think they're starting to view you as brown, not
white or black. Hence why you hate both races, yeah. On the one hand they say I'm anti-white,
on the other they say I'm anti-black, and it's the same account saying it. Yeah, Elon Musk,
why does Twitch have this double standard? To which I responded with, because I'm making
fun of dumbasses like you who think the white genocide is real here, and it's not
real cause that whereas as Michael demanded border police shooting killed
children. Which is a real thing that's going on. Oh Lord Hasan is being turned
into Indian. Yeah, but the Muslim kind. The clip originated from the stalker
account, Diddy Dan's second day account. It's even more obvious you're joking in the full clip.
Yeah, this is the 54 second long, uh, OG version of it. This is a clip from
Assam Plans of Destruction of the White Race. That's the title of it. It's from eight years ago.
Okay. This is a clip from eight years ago.
I'm doing the zoom in anytime, you know, as men gold gets banned or anytime someone gets
banned they always they always go back and they're like well what can we find about a son is always
the butt has on equation right so
huh hutch is giving you tips if it's not actually cared about the movie you
shine a foster you with text every candidate appear would tell them to
fully toss him under the bus it would help them win elections wow thank you
hutch that's a that's really good advice man
That's really good advice. I like that Jose and all of these guys are not even like remotely
subtle about this where they just like search. They search like anything they can to be like,
well Republicans are gonna use this clip against him. And it's like, bitch, you're doing it.
Like it's not Republicans, it's you. It's originating from you. It's not originating
from the Republicans. You're the one who's actively trying to find clips so that Republicans
can use them because you don't care about anything. You don't care about Democrats winning it
all. You've just completely lost your damn mind. You're like singularly focused as an
asson derangement syndrome. No, it's not Jose from YouTube. This is another one. This
is, this is another one of these like weirdo fucking liberals that has lost their dang
minds.
Like, yeah, and it almost always originates from this fucking dipshit always.
And their entire goal now, it's so funny.
They don't care about Abdul winning at all.
They openly say they don't care about Abdul winning.
They just want Abdul also had to come out and be like, I disavow Hassan.
So they think that they can get a fucking W there.
This is the difference.
They think about eliminating who they perceive to be up online.
I care about this movement.
I care about getting people elected that are going to improve people's lives.
That is the problem.
They will never understand this.
These people will never understand this.
They don't have any goals at all.
They're simple mercenaries.
And for some, for some, it's just about exercising their own personal grievance.
For Rape Dome, who is a right winger who, you know, in his own personal court case,
openly admitted that he was grifting to the right because he wanted to make money.
He straight up had a court case, a civil domestic violence court case where he received
restraining order from his partner, who he had sexually assaulted, who he was like stalking
and harassing, right? This is the guy. That's the guy. Rape tone. He lost that court case.
He can't have firearms for 10 years in the state of Texas. That's how significant this penalty is,
right? All you care about is Islam, not American value, says Dabba. Can you present to me
What you perceive as like caring about Islam and not American values
Because I assume in your mind like Islam is this backwards conservative religion right like that's how you perceive it
Who do you think is closer to that?
Cartoonish depiction of Islam in the United States of America someone who is pro-LGBTQ
TQ unconditionally someone who wants to give everybody health care someone who is a feminist or
Again, who's closer to that cartoonish depiction of Islam someone who is a white evangelical Protestant
Who wants to you know throw women in jail for getting abortions want women to stay in the fucking kitchen?
They never are able to respond to this like they'll say with Ilhan Omar. They'll be like Ilhan Omar,
it's a religion of hate. Look, look, look, they're still, it's a religion of hate. Buddy,
are you talking about, are you talking about evangelical Protestantism or are you talking
Islam the question is people have a very personal way of practicing their faith I
just think everyone should be able to do it as long as it doesn't impede on other
people's freedoms right that's my assumption that's my assessment that's
what I believe in I don't care what you believe in you know it's fine as long
as it doesn't harm others I'm great it's great but anyway getting back to
the story this is the this is the new viral hit right from yesterday on Elon
Musk's neo-nazi website 10 second clip let's take a look at that first it comes
from Rape Tone ironically enough who is a literal you know court anointed rapist
just remember that bringing an immigrants in this country on purpose
just so they can fuck your sister and then maybe even your daughter we're
gonna destroy the white race bitch that's what we're here to do so so that's the
that's a clip from eight years ago you can tell from my fucking voice let's take
a look at the full clip we're gonna keep bringing in immigrants of this country on
purpose just so they can fuck your sister and then maybe even your
daughter in the future we're gonna destroy the white race bitch that's
That's what we're here to do.
Does that scare you, dog?
Are you afraid?
You should be afraid.
You should be very afraid, because the immigrants,
they're coming.
And you know what?
They can actually dance to a beat,
unlike your fucking male ass.
OK?
Irresistible.
Irresistible.
they will charm the pants off of your mom
they will charm the pants off of your sister
it's over dude
it's a fucking rap dude
once again
it's obviously the dancing bit is how i know it's a joke come on dude
it's not a real concept white genocide is fake it's not real
the great replacement is obviously not a real thing
okay
is not
what these guys oppose is miscegenation because they're white supremacist there's
no way to
whiteness is purity is genetic purity politics
and the only way to create genetic purity is if you make it illegal for
people to consensually
engage in the act of miscegenation
There was a time and place in this country where it was illegal.
We had anti-miscegenation laws.
We've moved past that point, but these guys want to roll the clock back.
That's it.
And that's precisely what I'm joking about here, where I'm saying like, yeah,
really, you think white genocide is really, you think the great replacement's
coming?
Yep.
That's right.
We're deliberately coming to the country and dancing with our salsa hips.
You know what's even funnier, Rape Tone's ex is Mexican, yeah.
This clip offends me, but it's due to the cringe level, I mean, it's fine, I think it's
still less cringe than believing in the great replacement.
But it's really funny because this is currently a meta on TikTok.
All these like crazy white supremacist content creators will go up to immigrants or like brown
people in Europe and the UK and stuff, and they'll rage bait them in the same way.
So I was eight years ahead of the game, baby.
It is very funny that they're, you know, they're looking at this and be like, oh,
This is fucking terrifying dude, what the hell?
For the old make sure you say trend and not meta for the olds and the young this is what I gotta say
Okay, oh
Is that funny? Oh, that's funny to you well in my world view
I think all immigrants are raping white people like then it's not so funny for me
It's like okay, but that's your problem like you're a psycho. What do you mean the fuck?
You know what I mean
Kind of feels like that's a that's a you issue, you know, it's true and thanks for clarifying that
But I guess people people will see it and be like wow, that's it
That's like that's a he admitted his secret goal or something. I don't fucking know
It's kind of wild
Was your voice really that high-pitched it's a different Mike
It's a different Mike, but I also wonder if my voice has gotten more
like
Yeah, the Epson Eclipse complex is supplying Republicans mirror campaigns to try and hate
on you.
Eh, it's fine.
I just, I still think it's going to backfire.
You want to know why?
Because at the end of the day, the truth is the truth, right?
At the end of the day, these are the same concepts that I've been fighting for for
years, for decades.
And for every 10 people, for every 10 people that look at this and go, oh my god, how dare
he say this, there's gonna be five that go, you know what, I'm gonna check this guy out
to see what he's about.
And then when you come in here, you realize very quickly what I'm about.
You realize very quickly what I'm about and you realize that these fucking clips
are, are totally insane unless you're a hyper reactionary at which point, at which
point you probably won't like me, right?
I
Think part of it is also part of it is also like
If the America's are 911 clip didn't take you down these are small right yeah, I mean it's just it's just fucking bullshit
It's just it's all bullshit
Right? There's no saving you if you're hyper reactionary. Yeah. No, for sure. That's not
entirely true. I mean, I work to solve that problem. Backchecking three competitive set
of races. What is this? I've spent years hunting terrorists and bringing us on. I've been
lot of justice never in a million years that I think I'd be running as someone
who believes America deserve 9-11. Mr. Rogers issued an incendiary statement
about his opponent, Dr. Abdul-as-Said. The New York Times was unable to find an
example of a site stating that he believes America deserve 9-11 attacks and
the Rogers campaign did not respond to questions. In the same way, Mr. Rogers
also echoed a number of other attacks by Republicans that trafficked an anti-Muslim
sentiment. There's no evidence that Dr. al-Said has said that America deserve 9-11
on the contrary, a Democratic nominee wrote in his 2020 book that the
attack devastated me and called it craven. Mr. Rogers might have been
Some referred comments made by, uh, and made and retracted by a son, Piker, left one political
commentator, support, doctor, I'll say it's candidacy.
Piker was reacting to a 2019 podcast interview, featuring representative Crenshaw, text while
discussing what motivated September 11 attacks.
Mr Crenshaw expect, uh, expressed skepticism of the view that US actions in the Middle
East have been to blame and argued instead that a fundamentalist ideology played
a larger role.
Mr Piker appeared on Twitch, a live stream platform, objective, even at least it does
so insane.
Those comments immediately inside a controversy and led to a one week suspension on Twitch.
that month of the
uh... met what he said mr prigg's responded no obviously not and then
added that he'd be expressing frustration with mr cranshaw's comments
mr parker argued that his comments have been taken out of context and they've
been voicing a not so common
not so uncommon view the form policy decisions and destabilize the middle
east and a direct consequence in leading the september eleven
i know i was inappropriate he said of his remarks
in april interview on fox news doctor ill say to dress mr prigg's remarks
saying of course i don't think nine eleven was justified
because you appear with somebody
doesn't mean you agree with them on everything
That's actually a remarkable level of, of context.
W New York Times is something that I did not think I would be saying.
Wow.
Truke, I guess.
That's pretty cool.
That's a very rare W from the New York Times.
Yeah, credit to Linda. Respect Linda.
I said we totally did. We brought it upon ourselves. That was what the follow up was. So even in
that immediate moment, it's like pretty obvious what I was referencing. That's more context
then, then even you've ever given the clip in the near six years, I watched you. Yeah.
New York Times got my back, I guess. Let's go. That that's how you know I'm compromised.
That's how you know I'm an op. That's how you know I've, I've turned. I'm now a part
of the Democratic Party machine when the New York Times is no longer leaning into smears.
My mother told me months ago she thinks she'll be assassinated. Okay, well that's an insane
thing to think and also, you know, bring out here. You know, that's a, that's a wild
doesn't, doesn't feel great to hear it. You know, that's definitely
Thank you for sharing. I don't know
No
But yeah
That's cool that the nearing times offered that context and now you have context for this
If you see this clip outside in the world and people are blasting it now, you know now, you know where it comes from
Okay, how do I download this clip? I don't even know how to fucking download
But yeah
all of your cheap is not in saned off with what are you guys shut the fuck up dude Jesus
Christ what the fuck's wrong with you it's not in saned all I fully expect you to be
assassinated I've been freaking out about it I wish you take more to get me what the
What the fuck's wrong with you man?
Be fucking normal dude!
Keep that shit to your damn self please holy fuck!
God damn some of these are inside thoughts okay?
Wait, wait, wait. I didn't see the context. How can I see your explanation again? Easy.
Just subscribe. Now motherfuckers are saying I'm being selfish. I need to beef up my security.
You don't know what kind of security initiatives I have. Okay. Why would I reveal what kind
of security I have? Like what is going on here, man? Can we just stop being so fucking
social please for the love of Christ and all things holy for the love of Allah
please just can we can we stop doing this this is one of the problems with the
with this medium is just like it's so interactive sometimes it's too
interactive you know what I mean one focus is stop being selfish and beef
up your security one how is that selfish or not to like I get it you
care about me but you're being ridiculous
So please stop. Stop freaking out. We're going to freaking me out anyway. Can I start a petition
for french law fridays it was so much fun i loved french law fridays
ah
what happened is someone say he's gonna get shot not someone many people many people are now
sincerely talking about how i'm it's an inevitability that i will get murdered which
is a crazy thing to fucking hear not a great thing to hear okay
Okay. Not, not nice. Anyway. Yeah, what was really funny about Elon Musk's response, by
the way, and he's still going at it, is that he goes, he did say that is this true. The
clip is authentic. It's not, Pyger said, nearly identical lines. Immigrants, uh, gonna fuck
And it's really funny because Elon, I guess, didn't fucking see what Grok was saying.
Because Grock dunked on you, you fucking idiot.
The whole point is, I'm satirizing the great replacement fears.
As someone who Grocked it and Chad GPT'd it,
And Grock was the one who said Grock was the one who said is a gray satire is a gray satire and
That's what's going on
You know it's like Elon you made the Grock why don't you read it?
But it is funny that they're going through my controversies over and over again I
Have the VOD I have the VOD E-Rub 2 to 1 mom
Yeah, I mean, I'm pretty sure it's out there somewhere. I don't know why you're like I have the VOD
I have the full context of the clip. I showed it
Debate your up first. No, I will never debate him his mental prowess. It puts fear in my heart
Okay, he will fucking destroy me. He will reveal that I am a
charlatan. These conversations happening one after the other in the same exact spot.
This is descending into Lord of the Flies.
Ooh, who do you think Piggy is, me so furrow?
Ooh.
Hmm, Austin.
Austin.
He's out.
We'd murder him and eat him.
I think I would cannibalize Austin, even if we still, even if we were okay, you know?
We hadn't reached that point.
Yeah.
He would just, he would just be, he would be popping off and be like, you know what?
That's enough.
Someone pointed out that his son is more food.
Just quickly.
I saw there's gonna be a time when tough decisions have to be made in this game
Okay, so we're killing off the rest of you what I'm right here
Top decisions are gonna be have to be well, let's get rid of one of the women I
Don't know why we do that. There's no place for misogyny around these parts mister. I'm not being misogynistic
I'm just saying
one of the women
we should
No, the women are dead weight. No, no, no, I just think that they're
They're I think that they would get rid of us so we have to get rid of them first, right?
What is this?
It's funny because they were apparently
This was really funny
Thank You Jesus
What okay, I'm gonna kick this
Fuck you all, fuck that music.
Awesome, we needed that for the game!
Awesome, we literally can't do the next challenge without it, right?
We can't, we can't get the next baby!
What?
I don't know what you guys are talking about.
I can't talk when you need the music, bro.
You can't believe you did that!
This is so funny.
He just kicked it. He's just like, fuck this music.
Oh, this makes me excited for my 30s
Okay. All right. Anyway, let's get back to real shit. Let's get back to the real world Fox news will clip anything guys
This is not a real clip by the way
That is controversial and far left streamer Hassan piker who's built a I'm just gonna retweet it though
All right, I gotta pay
Let's get to the sky now, let's put these good numbers.
Abdul El Sayed is the left wing poster boy chosen by Democrats to run for the Senate in Michigan.
He's progressive, a candidate who took on the party establishment and won.
It reflects a Democratic party divided, struggling for unity, struggling for a coherent message
ahead of midterms and of course a presidential election in 2028.
Donald Trump, he's calling this communism.
He says he's happy with the result.
Says that Abdul al-Sayed is full of it,
although he used a stronger word than that.
I've put that to Abdul al-Sayed.
Now from Sky News in the UK, nice to meet you.
James Matthews.
He's very quick, one question.
Donald Trump says that you're,
Donald Trump seems to think you're a gift
for the Republican Party.
What do you say to that?
Good to meet you.
Donald Trump seems to be a gift to the Republican party. What do you say to that?
I'm a gift to the state of Michigan God willing and hope to win this election
And he says if you pardon the language, you're full of s***. What do you say to that?
At least I don't let mine go in the middle of the Oval Office
If he goes on to win the Senate, we have to move out of his midterm elections
HOOOOO!
HOOOOO!
Goddamn
He said the president dookie in his diapers, dude
I mean, that that club is going to do incredible numbers smooth.
It's true.
Look, look at the look at the power move to look the arm over the arm over the body.
Look.
Good to meet you.
I've got Donald Trump seems to be a gift to the Republican Party.
What do you say to that?
to the state of Michigan, God willing, and hope to win this election.
And he says, if you pardon the language, you're full of sh**, what do you say to the...
At least I don't let mine go in the middle of the Oval Office.
If he goes on to win the Senate...
That's crazy.
That's actually crazy.
Dude, dude, that, he's quick with it.
He's quick with it. He's quick with it.
I'm telling you right now,
this one is going to, this is going to hit wine country like Hiroshima, okay? Enola Gay.
Dropping a nuclear atom bomb. Wine moms that hear this are gonna go, oh my god,
oh my god, I have never, I have never seen, why can't Democrats be like this?
This is, this is going to slap the Midas touch constituency in the face.
This is going to be the real Will Smith slap heard around the world, okay.
I'm telling you right now, everything down to like the power move, putting his arm around
the reporter, like Midas touch.
Oh, it's of course, five million views on this already.
Wait until the Donald Trump shit his pants in the White House clip
Like for me, it's a little bit corny, it's fine for us it's a little bit corny, okay, but I'm telling you for
This clip uploaded on tiktok at 1.5 million views and a hundred and fifty seven thousand likes at 11 hours
God damn
Yeah, see, this is exactly how Dems need to respond to Trump's bullshit, cuz like the
reality of the matter is this, everyone wants a Trump, okay?
This is kind of, we're kind of finally seeing why Trump was so captivating for so many people.
Because it really is a cult for Trump.
It really is a cult for Trump.
Trump was able to do stuff like this all the time, okay?
Trump was able to do stuff like this all the time, and he paired it up with like a white supremacist narrative, with a white supremacist agenda.
That was obviously like very appealing to some of the worst qualities in people, right?
And Trump was the first in some respects. There was, like, there's decorum before Trump.
There's the pre-Trump and post-Trump universe that we're in.
And Democrats, it took them like 10 years to finally get to that point.
Some of them were trying to do it in the last two years where they would say fuck or shit or bitch, right, when they got mad, but that's not, that's not the point, the point is being quick on your feet, being witty and flipping the narrative immediately back.
America loves a bully, unfortunately. I don't think it's unfortunate. I'm a bully. I bully bullies.
Why do you think so many people hate me?
I have no time if you are going to go after the week, the marginalized, the vulnerable.
I am going to be your enemy.
I am going to bully you back.
That's it.
And someone like Donald Trump absolutely did that, right?
Unlike Donald Trump was constantly putting the crosshairs on those who were less fortunate.
Yeah, when they go low, take it the hell, I support this, respectfully, being the bigger
person has gotten us this shit, this is how all them should behave.
Thank you, see?
It's refreshing.
It is refreshing.
And it's also refreshing because this is a juxtaposition.
Donald Trump is a television guy, a fail son, real estate guy, right?
He's a reality TV guy.
Abdul Al Sayed is a doctor, a Rhodes scholar, someone who worked in public health.
So that is catnip for a specific part of the Democratic Party's Fedein.
The fact that you have a Rhodes Scholar who went to Oxford two degrees, who's worked in
public health, who's been a public servant, turning around and just dropping that, it's
great.
I'm just glad that the person doing it is also a person whose policies I align with,
you know what I mean?
A person who I trust.
He's buff, he's handsome, he's witty.
And on top of that, he's got great policies.
It's perfect.
It's another Zoran moment, you know. It's another Zoran moment where I'm like, oh, thank God, thank God we got some folks, you know.
Thank God we got some people that can basically do what we have wanted for years.
Because a lot of the, a lot of the, this is also like a part of what Bernie was incapable
of doing. Like Bernie is Bernie. He's straightforward. What you see is what you get. He's a bit of
a curmudgeon. He's very stubborn. He's only, he's only an advocate for the same things
over and over again for 80 years, right? So he didn't have that, you know, television
ready quality and I guess part of that is because he was from a time before
television ironically enough right this on the other hand this on the other hand
absolutely brings into the fold the millennials the Gen Xers the wine moms
the people that are so goddamn sick and tired of Donald Trump's behavior
Donald Trump's violence, Donald Trump's corruption, his cruelty, someone who can actually take
it back and, and slap him in the face with it.
So yeah, I saw this early on, obviously, when I first linked up with Abdul, but I think
many other Democrats are going to see this as well.
Many other Democrats are going to start to recognize this as well.
going to say this is our guy. Okay. This is our guy. He has all of the qualities of uniting
different sub-sex of the base. For the bros, he works out. He also is no nonsense, no frills,
right? For the low propensity voters who are anti-establishment voters, the people who
wanna shake things up, he's got the policies, he's got the vision.
And for the regular Democrats, the ones that are, the Democrats that vote for the mythical
moderate, he's got the anti-Trump, he's got all the anti-Trump qualities. And I mean,
knows how to slap him back around. So, yeah, I'm not very worried, but I will say this.
I will say this. For all of the centrist consultants, what did we see that you couldn't? Okay,
What did we see?
What did we all see in Abdul that you couldn't?
Because if you were to ask me at any point in this campaign, I told you I was very confident
about a chance, then I still am very confident about the general too.
So if you're wrong all the time, and you're wrong professionally, at some point you got
eat humble pie. Is it the paychecks that you're getting that makes you blind to this person
who's able to captivate a unique coalition of voters that is the secret sauce? Same with
Zoran. You didn't see it with Zoran. You said Zoran is going to be a failure. You
says Zoran is going to fail. He's too radical, you said, said New York, New York Jews will
oppose Zoran that he's, he's anti-Semitic. He wasn't, but you said it nonetheless. And
if you recall, and this, this Twitter user also recognized it, I said, what did I say
over and over again in the primaries. I said, Abdul's holding back. Okay? Because Abdul in the
primaries was running against Hayley Stevens. One, a white woman and two, a Democrat. Abdul was
holding back in the primaries. I kept telling you that. I said, listen, once we get to the general,
you'll see a very different Abdul. You'll see him unleashed.
Now, we're in the general and now he can take the training wastes off.
The gloves are off now.
So yeah, it's going to get very exciting.
But I hope this is maybe not for the consultants who are paid not to know any better.
But I hope this is a lesson for the Liberals, the remaining tiny constituency of Liberals
who spend a good deal of time on the internet who get their notes from these consultants
and the wannabe consultants, the Liberals who actually don't work with campaigns or
candidacies at all, but simply behave like their DNC consultants.
I hope this is a learning moment for y'all, all right?
Sometimes it's okay to trust the process, sometimes it's okay to believe.
Yeah, the Zauron analysis went from he has no chance in the capital of capitalism
to of course he won New York City's Communist overnight.
It's hilarious that in the alternative universe of establishment Dems, they didn't lose twice
to the weakest GOP candidate in history and only squeaked by in 2020, thanks to a once
in a century global pandemic that killed millions.
Yeah.
Their fear, Dr. Elsai was paving a path for progressives to seize the party's presidential
nomination in 2028 and then go on to lose the general election.
This is why not only have I been confident about Abdul's chances from the start,
but have also repeatedly mentioned to all of you, to anyone that will listen,
the reality that they do not fear our failures.
What they fear is our success because our success will be so loud,
and so powerful
That it will be heard all across the country
Okay, they do not fear our failure, but our success
They are worrying about the fact that politics are changing
That old norms and old rules are being written over
In front of their eyes and they're terrified
Because the way that they made their money, the way that they made their money for the longest time was by sticking to the same narrative, sticking to the same script.
Pivot to the center, pivot to the center, pivot to the center. Don't offend the corporate overlords. Pivot to the center.
Don't put people over money. Put money over people. They'll dump boatloads of money in
front of you. They'll destroy you. They'll besmirch your reputation. They'll smear you.
You won't be able to out-organize. You won't be able to out-organize, organize money. Well,
Well it turns out you can.
Okay?
It turns out you can.
So the first victory in the primaries from a campaign that was being outspent 12-1 was
very significant.
Now the real race is here.
America's first Muslim senator. He campaigned on universal health care,
abolishing ICE immigration, taking big money out of politics. Israel gassed.
You cannot organize corporate packs in foreign lobbyists. Not only we can, and we did. We did do that.
That was a big issue here. It splits Democrats between younger pro-Palestinians and the old guard that leans Israel.
It puts a lot of money behind El Sayed's rival who was more centrist in her politics.
There's a buzz around El Sayed. There's no doubt about that. The party has taken a left turn.
The Democrats' challenge is in deciding what party it wants to be.
After a bitter primary season in Michigan revealed divisions among Democrats, the party
is attempting to show how unified it is as the midterms get closer and did it pretty
fast.
Michigan's Democratic Party held a unity rally last night to celebrate its statewide ticket,
including U.S. Senate nominee, Abdul-Ali.
Like I've gotten this race right so far.
We're wearing the same suit, by the way, which is kind of crazy as a friend of the
show. Uh, we didn't, you know, we didn't set up the, we didn't set the suit thing up on
purpose like that. That's crazy. Um, we're twinning. So, yeah, Eugene, Eugene, Hassanabi,
uh, friend of the show certified Hassanabi friend of the show, Eugene. Um, so, what
What I was going to say is this, so I, I was pretty on it from the start, I was very confident
of Abdul's chance from the start, because I knew he had the makings of, of a great campaign.
He had the fundamentals, he had the charisma he had at all, but I will admit, when I got
eat a little humble pie, when I gotta eat crow, I will admit it because I call balls and strikes,
and I'm always honest with you. How quickly the Democrats snap back into being a normal party
that wants to maintain a Senate majority shocked me. It shocked me to my core.
The fact that those endorsements came in, boom, boom, boom, boom, one after the other,
immediately after it was established that Abdul was the winner of the primary, that made
me happy. It made me happy. It didn't even take a day. Kirsten Gillibrand, maxing out
the Abdul, the Senate majority pack, the Dem Senate majority pack immediately coming
that with not one but two banger ads, Kamala endorsement, Haley Stevens immediately going
out and stumping for Abdul. That actually shocked me. The reason why I say this is because
I was looking at the way the consultants were talking about it, right? I was looking at
the way the consultants were talking about it, the way that, you know, near attendant was
talking about Abdul, the way that like all of the weirdos on Twitter still tried to take
potshots at Abdul, potshots at me to get at Abdul, leaning into Republican narratives.
I thought that the party establishment would place more emphasis on delivering a message
to ensure
to ensure
they can maintain control over the narrative that like progressives can't
win in swing states
i genuinely thought that level of cynicism would be demonstrated i was
wrong
i was wrong
so i'll admit it
democrats establishment democrats you have shocked me
so far
i actually thought
that they would turn around and say, nope, we can't let this kind of populist
sentiment prove resilient and successful in a state like Michigan, because it goes
against the last 40 years of narrative building that we've leaned into.
That's also part of the reason why I believe, as part of the reason why I
I believe that Abdul Al-Sayed is going to search and destroy Mike Rogers.
The Democratic establishment putting their weight behind Abdul creates this unbelievably
powerful force, this unbelievably powerful force that is an antidote to Trumpism, okay?
Because the reality of the matter is you still need the money.
You still need the institutional backing.
It's just a lot of people don't realize that they think, oh, no, we can do it.
We can do it our way.
You can do it our way in the primaries, but you still need it.
And especially, and what you don't need is your supposed allies, the Democrats coming
after you aggressively, right?
You don't need that.
That's not good.
That's not healthy.
That made Zoran's chances far more difficult in the New York mayoral run, if you recall.
I mean, Andrew Cuomo coming out with the rest of the centrist establishment Democrats and the entire weight of the Republican Party
Attacking Zora Mamdani made that race far more difficult
Okay
The dead enders
So
I'm I'm happy. I'm happy to see the establishment Democrats snap into action and do the right thing
Now there are those
There are those who oppose this there are those like third way
Like that Michael de la Rosa guy. There are those who are now
continuing the grift and
And slowly but surely presenting themselves as opposition to the Democrats.
Cuz once you win the primary and
your general election is the only track to a Senate majority.
And people come out against that candidate and
even entertain Republican narratives, it's over.
When they come in and start leaning in the Republican narratives,
this over, you're an op. You're a fascist. You're a fascist collaborator. You're collaborating
with the fascists. You are no different than the people who say they'll vote for the Republican.
Some of these guys are saying they'll vote for the Republican over Abdul anyway, which
is completely unacceptable. Like you can say a lot about me. You can say my lack of enthusiasm
around Kamala Harris was what made it was, was the reason why Kamala Harris lost,
Which is really weird, because now they say, I should stay the fuck away from campaigns.
The very same people who said, my endorsement for Kamala Harris, my lack of endorsement for
Kamala Harris was make it or break it, are now turning around and saying, my endorsement
of all these other people is actually harmful.
I don't know how that happened.
I don't know how that happened.
And I don't know why they're saying this now.
I wish Abdul and the candidates we help support would push back harder when media misrepresent
you.
They don't have to defend every take, but they should defend you against dishonest framing.
I mean, look, there's an election going on.
My expectation is not that a person running for office is going to know the context
of every single clip or anything like that. The best thing from my perspective, the best
thing that they can do, because I do need some institutional aid, right? I do need it for sure.
The best thing they can basically say is this. Look, this is a medium that makes itself readily
available. This is a medium that makes itself readily available to clips out of context.
This person is a shock jock.
You're not going to agree with everything he's saying.
And I don't either.
But at the end of the day, the Bernie answer was the best one, where it's like,
look at the totality of what this person is advocating for, and understand why he's popular.
He's not popular because of the clips that you're presenting here.
He's popular because he is pushing for the same message that we've been pushing for years and years.
And he's been able to cultivate an audience of door knockers and activists and advocates and many of which actually come from very unique backgrounds.
You know, people who were formerly Republican, people who've never voted, people who never thought that they would vote for a candidate are now out there, very young people in comparison to who normally participates in these primaries.
They're out there and they're doing the work.
And that work actually led to a candidate that they like that was outspent 12 to 1 winning against unbelievable odds.
And that's it.
That's it.
That's the best possible thing. That's my expectation, you know.
Len Greenwald went hard for Hassan. John Favreau suggested you stay away from Schrumers. There's
no way John Favreau said that. I mean, look at the duality. Look at the duality. Should
campaign for Kamala. Talk about me. Actually getting us on out of the AES
campaign will help a way more than anything else.
Always wrong. I'm gonna clip both of those things.
John Favre said that, so you're taking all the hate in Abdul and I on our DPS, yeah.
It's just very funny.
It is very funny that it's the same people who are like, we want a Joe Rogan to the left.
Hasan is the Joe Rogan left and they were like, never mind.
We don't want Hasan to be the Joe Rogan to the left.
Would not like that.
It's the same people who were like, Hasan should have campaigned for Kamala Harris.
Now they're like, don't campaign for candidates that you campaign for, you know, you know,
Now, let's talk about the Kamala Harris endorsement, because there are a lot of people who are mad.
They're mad all the time, and they're mad about this too, okay?
And what's interesting about it, what's interesting about it is that I don't think the Kamala Harris
endorsement of Abdul El Sayed, or the Pete Buttigieg endorsement of Abdul El Sayed is
what you think it is.
I had the same exact opinion on Barack Obama, Barack Hussein Obama's appearance was
Zoram-Mum-Dani. I think things like that are not indicative of the moral impurity of the
likes of Abdul-Al-Sahed or they don't signal what you think it signals. For many, they
see that and they go, oh, these guys are phony and they're going to betray us. They're
compromised. I don't think you realize. Law on black, of course, we are mad living in
an anti-black world. Wait, what? No, I'm not even talking about. No, this is not, this
is nothing to do with black people. I'm talking about like the leftists. Like there are leftists
out there who are like very anti-Kamala. I mean, I'm obviously very critical of Kamala myself.
And they're saying like, well, Kamala Harris oversaw the genocide of the Palestinians alongside
Joe Biden. And you're supposed to be this anti-Zionist. Like, why are you not applying
BDS rules to Kamala Harris. And what's really interesting, what's really interesting about
this is, I don't think people understand, it's the actual opposite. The fact that Kamala
Harris is endorsing Abdu'l Al-Sayed, one favors Abdu'l Al-Sayed, for sure, especially in
the demographics that Abdu'l underperformed in comparison to Haley Stevens, but it actually
is a role reversal. At this point, it's a mutually beneficial situation, but it also
signals that the environment has changed. The environment has shifted so radically that
someone who was in the crosshairs of APAC is getting an endorsement from an APAC-backed
former presidential candidate.
The environment is the exact opposite of 2024.
Things like this are going to continue happening just so you understand.
Law that's also not BDS is not a thing. The movement is as far as I know I was jokingly saying like they're saying you should do a BDS on Kamala Harris.
Yeah, it shows the op-dual is setting the pace.
It only makes sense to treat op-duals a potential op if it changes its stances.
What is this damn he's so good at this is a shame he's wasting dude dude stop
dude I guys guys no more no more of this person please I don't want to hear that
this person I don't want to hear from the other like the other people who are
are working for free for the DNC, okay?
People who do not have a job
at the Center for American Progress,
the only person you can link me is
if they are actively a part of the consultant class
and not simply lopping as though they're working
for Center for American Progress.
Just near a tendon and maybe sometimes Shannon Watts,
that's it.
If you send me the other people who I will not name,
I'm gonna start banning you guys
because they're very clearly not all right, man.
Like at a certain point, you gotta realize,
at a certain point you have to realize
like you are unironically sending me links
of a person who is mentally unwell.
Like you're sending me links
from a person that is experiencing a mental health episode,
episode, an extensive, long and extensive mental health episode. Okay? There are certain people
I don't touch for that reason where I'm just like, I don't want to tap the glass because I feel like
it just only feeds into their mania. True, but so is Nira. Yes. But the difference between Nira
and these other people, is the reality that Neera Tandon works for the premier
Democratic Party think tank. Neera Tandon is actually paid by these campaigns. Neera Tandon has worked
on these campaigns.
Like this person should never be mentioned ever again. I don't think they're they're they're not
all right. You guys are you guys are looping in random Twitter users thinking that they work
with campaigns and candidacies like that's not the case. Like these guys are these guys are
in some respects just channeling the same frustrations that near attending is exhibiting
but they're not relevant figures at all, and it's very clear that they're also not having
a really easy time at it.
So I don't think you should pay them any attention.
Unless they're paid, unless they're mercenaries that are paid, we should shy away from focusing
on them.
Samir Attandon on the other hand, she's paid. She's paid. She's, this is her job. So, she is, she commands,
she commands the attention of very powerful people and very powerful forces in the Democratic Party.
Random teenagers on election Twitter do not.
edit your tweet, you're missing a word. No, I fucked it up. It's so funny that these
Oh, these people.
Anyway, like, this is, look, look, they're, they're, they're in here, like, this person
probably watches.
Look at this.
They, they fucking responded me.
Did you boost AES?
great. Does nobody have any idea who you are? Like, I think for the sake of this person's
mental well-being, you know, a block is, is what is necessary. That's the former fan,
right? That's the one. That's the one that was, uh, that took a photo with Kamala Harris.
We're gonna put this to bed. We're gonna put it past us. I think I'm, I'm helping
potentially save a life here, you know?
So, we got bigger fish to fry, we got bigger ops, we can't be dealing with
fucking random teenagers on the internet, you know?
And I think some liberals get it. I mean the Pisco guy
He's I've seen his clips is what popped up on my timeline just now
But he gets it right there are some liberals who understand it where they're like
Like it's it is a which side are you on?
Moment right. Are you gonna side with the fascists? Are you going to coalesce around the fascists?
Or are you going to broaden the tent?
Are you going to join the fight on the anti-pashist side?
Bro, you're falling for it again?
I didn't say this is a big fear, but there are some-
Look man, I'm not asking you to hug and kiss every goddamn liberal who recognizes the danger of Trumpism, okay?
I'm just saying my expectations are low my expectations from liberals oftentimes are low and when they actually outperform my expectations
I'm gonna give them credit
That is the fucking environment that we're in we can't just like cast aside people okay? I'm not saying become a liberal
I'm just simply stating that there are some liberals who understand the danger
Who understand the danger of fascism who understand the danger of Trumpism and are saying like you guys are being fucking
ridiculous to other liberals who do not. Because the reality of the matter is, I am fine with
people who I have significant disagreements with, as long as they recognize the real danger
of Trumpism, as long as they recognize the real danger of the Republican Party. I know
that's a low bar to set, and maybe the bar will get higher as the environment changes,
Okay. But we need all the numbers we can get.
We need all the numbers we can fucking get.
We need it. We can't do it on our own.
And that's precisely the same reason why I say like, you know,
the Kamala endorsement is good. It's not a bad thing. It's a good thing.
It's great.
Now I wouldn't say the same thing about, you know,
fucking Liz Cheney or some shit, right?
But it's not necessarily, this isn't about like movement building isn't about developing
an echo chamber.
It's about, it's about trying to build a broadest coalition possible.
No, they are attacking your character.
It doesn't matter.
They can attack me all day.
They have shown themselves to be effective in this country, actually, and that have
address these concerns to the extent that they exist and as well the track
record of moderation and collaboration from these types. And so the threat and
magnitude is low both on both those grounds and just saying Ma
Communist, Ma Hassan Piker is not moving the ball even 1%. They're trying to
distract you from the traitorous enemies who are currently beyond the gates and
holding power. Don't be fucking Marx!
Don't be Rubes, don't fall for it. They're trying to distract you. Don't buy
into it. This is not a real significant threat. If I thought it was, I would tell you so.
That's it. Right now in this moment, right now in this moment, if you think the true danger
is coming from your left flank and not your right, you're fucking idiot. You might as well be a
goddamn collaborator of the Republican agenda. That's it. It's time to lock the fuck in.
We can have our, we can, we can issue our, our disagreements with one another later.
What is this?
When the midterms are done, Republicans are not going to stop trying to elevate us on Piker
and make him the face of the Democratic party.
This is going to go on and on and on.
Very non-zero chance that Piker's name will come up in televised 2020 presidential elections.
If it's not actually cared about the movement he's trying to foster, he would text every
candidate appear with and tell them to fully toss him out of the bus if it would help him
win their elections. There's really big if considering do the narcissist on the level of
Trump. And as partisan Democrats who want to stop MAGA by actually winning competitive races
and flipping Red Seas, we have an obligation to pressure the leaders in our party to loudly
and unequivocally condemn Hassan and his rhetoric. He is toxic sludge and the right
sacrifice of time to the party is going to work on a lot of people.
Hassan Productions says, hey, it's serious question. Is your midterm
just to cry about Hassan and DSA every single day until November and while
boosting certain clips in hopes that it would hurt Democrats. Yeah, that is the strategy
for a lot of these, like, want to be consultants. Want to be consultants. That's their, that's
their entire goal here is to get a nod of approval from some of these fucking losers.
Some of these fucking losers that have, that have a very mercenary understanding that
want to do everything in their power to, to erode the left flank. That's it.
This is who I'm speaking to when I say it's time to fucking lock in, dude.
Shut the fuck up.
Just shut the fuck up.
Unbelievably pathetic.
You are a piss baby crying, pissing and shitting in your diapers, demanding that people make
me the primary fixture of their candidacy.
It's very stupid.
Why would they fucking do that, dumbass?
Not only is it unhelpful advice, it's bad.
This is not about my popularity as I repeat over and over again. I have limited popularity. It's the under 45
We bring those people out. It's fine, right?
That's good and it certainly does help in elections
It helped with Abdul's clearly and numerous others, but
But if someone were to come out and be like, oh, yeah, I condemn this guy
After fucking, you know doing campaign rather than that makes them look weak that makes them look hypocritical
that makes them, you're leaning into the same liberal sensibilities and liberal optics focused
tendencies that cause Democrats to fucking lose.
It's no different than Kamala Harris saying the wall, build the wall is a stupid racist
expensive idea that we must oppose to then four years later saying, actually, I want
to build the wall and the Republicans are not serious about building the wall.
That looks hypocritical.
That looks hypocritical.
And it makes the normies who are not paying that much attention look at the situation and
go, what the fuck?
What do you mean?
You said you like this guy, you said you campaign with this guy, you said you don't agree with
everything that he said, but now you're saying you disavow him.
All of a sudden that makes normies think you're weak.
That's it.
So you guys are actually demanding, I'll say do something bad.
Do something bad for his candidacy for no reason.
It's so fucking stupid.
Just shut the fuck up, lock in.
If you were sincere about this shit,
if you were sincere about winning these races,
you just never would talk about this ever again.
You would never highlight the Republican attacks.
Cause it's not like Republican media is gonna stop
using me as an attack ad against Abdul
after he says, I disavow his son,
they're just gonna double down.
They're just gonna double down and say,
see, why did you bring this terrorist?
Why did you bring this fucking terrorist
on the campaign trail?
If you were going to end up disavowing him later
down the line?
I don't think these guys understand,
like there is a Machiavellian attitude
you can demonstrate that would require you to shut the fuck up about me for three and a half seconds,
but you can't do that because you don't care about winning elections. This is just you
entertaining another fucking Twitch streamer's beef, a kick streamer, not a Twitch streamer any longer.
These kinds of attacks have shown to be unsuccessful over and over again.
You just want it to be successful. That's it. You don't care about Abdel Said winning,
Or you- you- you are fine with him losing as long as he just fucking, uh, becomes another vector of attack against me.
It's very strange. Very strange behavior.
Huh.
No, they understand. They're just caring about their own cloud. If you go down to me, their influence goes up as quite transparent, but it's not.
It's not gonna go up. Their influence is never gonna go up.
As a matter of fact, their influence stays marginal, tiny, minuscule, irrelevant for this reason, because while other people are focusing on putting food on their table, and that's their primary concern, and those who are actually interested in politics are looking for campaigns and candidacies that will address those desires,
these fucking idiots are locked in on simply just attacking me. It's so stupid. That's the reason why nobody fucking cares about what you have to say man.
And it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what I say. These guys hate me so much.
They 100% hate me more than MAGA. They've admitted it. Many of them have said that they would rather
vote for Marco Rubio over someone like myself in a hypothetical matchup. And that's the kind of
shit that just demonstrates your insanity. The average person hears that and goes,
what the fuck are you talking about? A guy who's like pro Medicare for all
and anti-Israel over Marco fucking Rubio. What are you insane? What do you want fucking crack cocaine? That's their reaction and
their daddy
sex past any going through his own
current revenge porn
court case
has even gone so far as say Trump is a
Less damaging force in American politics and someone like myself. It's just it's just a demonstration of
of mental insanity.
It's not, you're not showing anybody
a reasonable perspective at all.
You're just simply showing people how insane you are,
how unreasonable you are.
That's it.
Yeah.
When you say stuff like it's a 50-50 coin flip
between AOC and JD Vance,
you're not gonna win any liberals to your side.
You're actually not even gonna win, you know.
It's almost a 50-50 split between Peter Thiel's fascist blood boy versus progressive is insane like I think these guys just need mental health treatment
That's it. That's what you should have said. Yes, they need to fucking log off
I do think that you should have said yesterday when they when Pisco moved it on you JD Vancer AOC
I think that that's a pretty easy answer
The thing is is I don't actually know that like
In a vacuum with no political influence
I don't I don't know what JD Vance's political opinions are like the guy was a more moderate
You know what JD Vance political opinions are
He's Peter feels blood boy. That's it. The fuck do you mean? You know, we don't you think you should know?
He's the vice president
Don't you think you should know you're you fancy yourself to be a political commentator
Republican type person, but the problem is JD Vance like AOC seems to have no
capacity to deal with his own side, right? And that he's fully bought on to
co-signing whatever crazy dick-sucking-shit Trump needs. So I mean like, it's not like I
would trust, even if it was more moderate, I don't know how to trust him to be, to
govern more moderately if there were extremist voices in his camp. I also
don't know how much he is actually like a crazy fucking crypto loony fuck
after getting brainwashed and mindfucked by Peter Tillerman. So he
might be, that might just be like way too far fucking gone. But I don't know
for AOC like I just don't know with any of these people now like given your
opportunity to like abolish all private enterprise and if you're if the people
backing you were for it I don't know what her answer would be there I'm not
sure I don't know at this point I'm not sure but the problem is that people
like my chances with AOC sure I mean I guess yeah I mean like I probably would
but it's a coin flip how do you have such an extreme view of AOC it's not
like a 90-10. That's like a 55-45. Like the problem is when nobody-
Lemau, I'm out of here.
Nobody has the ability to say no to anything. I just have to look and see who's around you.
That's going to be pushing you into shit because I'm just kind of to assume that you're going to go
along with the crazy motherfuckers on your side because apparently nobody can say no.
Yeah. Keke Schumer, Destiny crashes out after watching us on Help Canada.
It is when they're racing and announces becoming a conservative and he blames
younger black voters. This is the guy. Oh my god, dude, I'm ready to become a conservative.
I just want to become a conservative. At least they're honest about their racism and everything.
Like, I'll never take any of you wokey motherfuckers again. You know what we need to do. This is
what we need to do. Brian Tyler Cohen ended up taking down the Hasan post from yesterday
after being messaged by D. Wait, really? That's so sad. That's such a fucking sad
situation. Epstein is so obsessed with Hassan that he messaged Brian Tyler Cohen to take
down a quote of Hassan, which says, Republic of Hassan removed the quote.
Oh, I also, Brian said he was going to remove that thing and they'll never post it in Hassan
again.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, what happened?
Brian Tyler Cohen removed the quote of Hassan from his Instagram.
Yeah, I messaged him and I was bitching and he was like, I don't do my media
post there, but I'll post it in Hassan.
know what I'll say this that like I have don't they claim you of this yeah no
they do they say it's always projection it's always projection it's so sad what
a sad thing to do god now I don't think Brian Tyler Cohen is a bitch I mean this
is a lame thing that he did they hate you so much for that that they're
You're siding with Elon Musk and Asmongold?
Yeah, of course they are.
Again, these guys do not...
I mean, it is a lame thing that Brian Tyler Cohen did.
I...
Oh, God.
Imagine this being your primary political victory that you got Brian Tyler Cohen to
remove a fucking post.
This was the only thing he took down, by the way, it was literally anti-maga.
No, I know.
This is the...
Yeah, I said it's not Islam that's subjugating women in this country, it's Republicans.
And he posted that.
I think Brian Tyler Cohen is still...
At the end of the day, he's not an opposition to Zoran, he's not an opposition to Abdul
al-Sayed.
He's just a fucking straight up establishment Democrat who is way more comfortable with
left flank candidates than these other fucking guys are. So if they're only goal, if these
guys is only goal is to literally come after me, then that's fine. Who cares? Let him be
fucking distracted. Okay. It is also very funny that this was in Epstein's community
and it's in Hebrew. I was like, why is this a, why is it posted Hebrew? And then someone
was like, Oh, they took the screenshot from the destiny subreddit.
Well, yeah, you're too charitable, man, no, I just, look, man, it is what it is, okay?
is what it is. Yeah. I think a lot, I think a lot of these people like Byron Tyler Cohen
just don't want to be in the middle of internet drama because that's what these communities
is, yeah. Ryan Tyler communities reach is so much bigger than
Destiny's. Yes, but he's terrified. Here's the reality that we
know. Okay, this has been the MO of Dan Stalkman and sex
Pestini the entire time DMing everyone they possibly think
they can in order to get one or two victories to post on Reddit.
These victories include collabing with Republicans. These guys
have been collaborating with the Republicans the entire
time. Okay, and they are going to continue doing it in
much more meaningful ways. That's why they're like retweeting Elon Musk and shit like that.
Are you aware your chat is full of offliners who not only spend their entire day watching
your stream but they spend the rest of the day in your stream chat. This is not a healthy
way to live your life. There are definitely people that are in the chat offline talking
to one another about a bunch of different shit. It's like a way to community build.
I don't know why you're very frustrated by that.
They're not like talking about me.
They're playing games and shit in the chat.
Yeah.
Brian Tyler Cohen impact my mostly Trump post Trump's lob.
He's done and that works on YouTube.
Whenever you do Trump's lob titles,
you get similar views.
Yeah.
We should actually sneakily title all of it like Trump's love style, because that kind
of like anti-Trump liberalism works so well.
But anyway, as far as the Brian Tyler Cohen situation goes like, look, I'm fairly certain
as long as he's not a setback, as long as he's not like literally directly opposing
candidates like Abdul Al-Sahed, which I know he's not because I was at an event with
Abdul, and he was there, you know, early on as a matter of fact. So he's that kind of guy.
As long as they're not in opposition to left flank candidates, which I know they're not,
which I know Brian Tyler Cohen is not, I'm fine with it. It's the same principle that
I have for the Podjons. I don't always agree with the Podjons, or at least all of
the Podjons. But at the end of the day, I understand that they are invested in a
broader coalition and that's what matters most to me. What matters to me is actually creating
some kind of defense against Trumpism. Right now we have no defense against Trumpism. Right now
we're literally, like I don't think a lot of people understand this, like right now we only have
the courts, okay? And the courts are holding by, the courts are holding on by a thread,
Okay, if the courts go down, if due process goes down, if the constitutional protections afforded to every American like free speech or even birthright citizenship goes down, we're fucked.
Okay, that's it. We're fucked. We're completely fucked.
So even if the podjaws don't like the DSA or you know
What is this maybe quit reporting terrorism that you can counter Trump is a common sense
You know hey, but when you talk to a terrorist dogs app or common sense not useful brother you couldn't even fucking write
Appropriately like you can't do that you can't come in here and try to you can't come in here and try to do a dunk
when you can't even fucking spell correctly when you when you can't even apply proper grammar. I'm sorry.
But in any case as I was saying,
um,
what I was trying to say is
we have to have this is this is the reason why we have to have a Senate majority like this is not
Sheepdogging the Democratic Party at all because there is no guarantee that
Democrats once they have the Senate majority are gonna fucking do our bidding do the bidding of the masses do the bidding of the working class
There's no guarantee that at all these things take time these changes take time and require a tremendous amount of effort
to pull through to push through okay
But
Having said that
We need to at least
We need to at the very least put up another line of defense against MAGA, and yes, that
line of defense comes through the Senate majority and the majority in the House.
Okay?
Democrats need to control the legislative body, and if they don't fucking do our bidding
once they have that control, we'll fight back.
And this time we'll have some allies on our side inside of the legislative body.
Okay?
But it's still a far worse predicament not to have that majority.
It's still a far worse predicament to just simply hope that the courts remain resilient,
that the courts can actually still, you know, operate as though, as though they're working,
as though they're functional.
We can't, we do not have the time and we do not have the capacity to wait it out.
you got the government talking about blacklisting communist blacklisting socialist which range
ideologically from someone like myself all the way to fucking Karen Bass when you got the Trump
administration utilizing the FEC utilizing the FTC utilizing the regulatory bodies as a way to
never really do their regulatory purpose but instead to attack critics of the administration
It's like, this is a terrifying moment in time that we're in.
I don't think people understand that.
I don't think people are comprehending exactly how bad things are.
This is not about like opposing the dang cheetah in the White House, right?
This is no longer about opposing the dang cheetah in the White House.
The reality of the matter is it's not just like, oh, Trump is offensive and he hurts my
feelings and we need to embarrass him.
This is we're a bunch of frogs boiling in the pan right now and the water the heat is going up over and over again
We're about to reach the boiling point. We might have actually reached the boiling point
Do you understand this is not about the ballroom?
This is not about Trump's beautification initiative for America 250. This is
This is triage. We have to do everything we can to to set up
opposition to the administration
Okay?
So I hope people understand that
Because I find it very interesting that a lot of people who would be in the crosshairs first and foremost do not
Recognize what time it is. They do not understand how bad they will be burned
I'm not just simply saying this to, you know, scare you. I mean, it is a scary time. I see it. I see it every day. Perhaps I see it a little bit more clearly than many others do, especially those that declare themselves to be far more radical than me because I'm in the fucking crosshairs every goddamn day.
Right?
right? Like for me, this is very real. I mean, I'm, you know, I'm the primary target here.
So I see it, I feel it.
Anyway, Brian Tyler Cohen not shedding his association with sex past any despite clearly
knowing who he is and being aware of his progress in progress civil suits in his red flag sexual
deviancy. Yeah, that's not great. That's not great. I mean, he is, he's always been this fucking
destiny has always been this fucking weirdo, right? He's always been this weird guy. But
I guess these guys see him as like a reliable ally to a certain degree. I don't know why I
don't know what the fucking calculation is there. But I suspect the reason why Brian Tyler
Cohen is like taking his notes from a dude who's currently going through an ultra Zionist who's currently going through a
Revenge porn case is because he doesn't want to deal with the backlash from his community because his community are serial harassers
They're sending a message every time they do this shit to me. They're sending a message to all the other people too
They're saying like look
Listen
You don't want to be in the crosshairs will do everything we can to make your life a living hell
I mean this this is a cyber stalking gamer gate style operation dedicated entirely to one guy, right?
They don't even hide it and I guess
It's it's understandable. It's a little it's a little insecure. It's a little pathetic
It's a little cowardly to just you know, say fuck off and move on with your life, but
I guess it's not like Brian Tyler Cohen is a big fan of mine either especially because I called out chorus early on
And we obviously had a somewhat of a blow-up when one of his chorus
Content creators was just like actively shitting on Cory Bush. I was like that's completely unacceptable. He was like celebrating
Wesley Bell
I
Don't remove the quote of Hassan from his Instagram it's just
I don't do my media post there
You know what all it's it's somewhat pathetic for for Brian Tyler Cohen to like respond to
sex past any in this way but it's extra it is so much more pathetic for these
guys to just like fucking celebrate this as a major W like who gives a fuck one
way or another I didn't even know that he had posted me I'll say this that like I
have friends and they're not plugged in and I'm like well what do you what do you
do for politics and they all say like Brian Tyler Cohen that's it and it's
like okay this this guy is an important guy to get for normies like on our
Yeah, see they're like they're like this is we did it we fucking did it
We fucking did it
Major victory for you guys man
So fucking sad
Anyway
So, I urge the liberal consultant class to no longer give opportunities to the likes of Mike Rogers.
Okay. They won't stop because their enmity is directed entirely at me.
But you know, I hope they'll fucking wake up from their stupor
That's it
That's it
You may not know how much of a bag BTC gets a month
It might not it might not be 12 million, but it is something when they came after you
They could have shut off your money faucet, but if you weren't funded by your viewers it may have been different
I know you walked away from a bag not tempering your speech
Yeah
Donald Trump was called a pedophile on Fox news
By a guest who the Fox news host had on for a segment and then after this guest
Yes, absolutely. Chad, by the way, started calling him a pedophile protector, talking
about the Epstein files as possible, involvement in the Epstein files, a host then quickly rushed
to try to get him off center stage. I want you guys to take a look at this clip. I'm
actually just going to go out and play you the short form video that I posted.
If we're going to talk about children being raped, then we need to hold this pedophile
president, Donald Trump accountable. Holy shit. I want to know who this guy is. I
think we all need to know who this guy is apparently he's a democrat running for
some office somewhere we need to find him we need this crazy
didn't know his name and we need to know where he's running okay because let me tell you
um his name is Oliver Larkin god damn he's he just knows like every fucking minutia he
knows every goddamn anti-trump yeah he's running in florida 25 now listen he's dsa endorse
is Oliver Larkin he's running in florida 25 against one of the most right-wing democrats
in the country, Moskowitz. But what is, what's wild to me is he's so fucking knowledgeable
about every little thing that Trump has done, down to the fucking wire, down to the goddamn
bone. But then he's just like, is so oblivious to the left flanking is that he would be actually
very, very well aligned with.
Told me maybe five years ago that Trump would be getting called a P3DO live on Fox news
P3DO Jesus fuck. I don't know if I would have believed you so yeah really really interesting
You could just see how that host was freaking out. You could just see how hard his question backfired
He doesn't get paid to know about these people okay guys is stop being so cynical, okay?
These are these are people we can again bring on to our side, okay?
That was.
Get Asmongold's name out of your mouth you fascist.
Wait what?
I wasn't even talking about Asmongold, what the fuck?
But you're an Asmongold fan.
You're an Asmongold fan who uses fascists as a pejorative,
what the fuck?
Dog, Asmongold is literally aligning with fascists openly,
like Nick Fuentes, like he openly says,
anti-fascist Asmongold fan is such a funny bit.
I
Have to hear what this guy is about I mean Fosaba clapped them
But I need to understand I need to scratch the surface here a little bit
But it's really funny because I wasn't even fucking talking about as the gold at all
You have asthma gold in the mind for some reason, but I this is a new guy
China is fascist you are too you are too you
tell you, China, you are a fascist dude. What do you think Nick Fuentes is? I feel like
if China was fascist, Nick Fuentes and Asmongol would be fans of China. Considering their
Now you did soft spot for former fascist developments, former fascist countries, historic fascist
movements.
You and Nick Fuentes are on the same side, kid, wait, what?
Alright, someone rolled a clip.
This guy just doesn't know.
Someone rolled a clip.
I need to hear him respond.
Give me the clip.
Give me the clip.
You know what I'm talking about.
You know the one I'm talking about where Asmongold openly says, like, I love Nick
Fuentes.
like funneling my viewership to Nick Fuentes.
I agree with Nick Fuentes,
because this guy hates Nick Fuentes, it seems.
Okay.
And I know because I'm one of them.
Well, do you not get de-platformed through all this?
Oh, I simply, I am a very pragmatic person.
I have no problems not saying things
or not doing something if i feel like it won't be advantageous for me
so i just simply don't say things that i think will get me in trouble
and until it's okay to say that
that's literally it
this is a good boy yeah i i
like nick doesn't do that nicks says exactly what he thinks and it's
respectable it is i don't have any
any negative about it but to me
i view my role as being a more mainstream
ally towards this stuff without necessarily spearheading any sort of like real controversial
change because I can't really do that. It would compromise my position. That's the reason
I'm a funnel. Yeah, I kind of do that. Yeah, like a funnel in a way. So that's the reason
why I do most things that I do are like there's reasoning behind them. You have your lane
for sure. Yeah. It wasn't even that one. He was saying, I'm deliberately trying to create
a pipeline to Nick Fuentes. This wasn't the clue. I was looking for another one. You everything
that in common with them is just immigration. Wait, what? But you just watched your favorite
content creator say, I am in line with Nick Fuentes. You just watched your favorite
content creator that you're defending as an anti fascist. Okay. He's a Sweden Democrat,
according to his name yeah asmol gold mox you kid money wise not hairline wise
yeah look look at this French fence is $20 you simply are the go asmongold a
shield hard for great way by the way sad that doesn't matter asmongold is a
great ally him and I are on the same team and he's the goat and I'll never I
I will never attack Lysol said $100. Who do you think is closer to Nick Fuentes?
Me a guy who fucking opposes Nick Fuentes every step of the way finds his
Ideology to be toxic odious completely wrong
Completely reactionary or the guy who is in line with him 100% and openly says he loves Nick Fuentes
Thank you for it's crazy how obviously Nick understands it and I understand it, but very few other people understand it
Like no, we're not going to let people who want to subvert us try to divide us and make people enemies
So it will be easier to rule over them and to subvert them
Like it's pure subversion and Nick knows this I know this it's obvious
This is what they're doing like it's so clear like it. It's so so fucking obvious
And yeah, there it is. So not divide us and well, they've successfully done that in a lot of cases
They have I mean W the neck. I love neck and so uh, yeah, yeah, I wonder how this guy got banned
I'm like, I wonder why he's got bad this guy about oh, that's right
He got fucking banned because he was advocating to murder children
I'm done dude contru neo, do you purchase little china stream kid? Okay?
No, I don't blame Israel for everything. I don't know why you are saying that I blame Israel for the things
Israel deserves blame for, whether it be doing a genocide with our tax dollars or subverting
American democracy by dumping, you know, millions, tens of millions of dollars into pro-Israel
candidates without ever mentioning Israel once.
I like that you're running away though.
I mean, that's, that's funny, I guess.
You went from trying to defend Asmongold and saying that your Benjamin Netanyahu is the
goap man with some respect on his name.
Okay, buddy.
He's a troll.
I mean, yeah, he's just Swedish.
A lot of Asmongold's fans are Swedish and from Norway.
It's very strange.
It's a very strange phenomenon.
I don't know why there are so many people,
so many Euroids in the chat that just love
American fascism for some reason,
especially when American fascism is harmful
to your national interests as well.
But hey, to each their own, I guess,
European white supremacists.
Yeah, but I don't think European white supremacists
understand that like American supremacy is,
for the, from the perspective of Americans,
like they don't think about European white supremacy at all.
Like if American supremacy means overtaking Europe, then so be it, right?
So what a lot of European white supremacists fail to comprehend is that when
Donald Trump says, we're going to take over Greenland, and that violates European supremacy,
American white supremacists and American supremacists don't give a shit about
European supremacy.
They don't give a shit about European sovereignty.
And they're always shocked when this kind of thing happens.
They're like, how could Donald Trump do this to us?
How could Donald Trump treat us like we're, you know, a brown country?
Americans deep down inside don't think about Europe at all, or the ones that do understand
that Europe is a vassal.
And through that process of vassalization in the aftermath of the Cold War, Europe
has actually experienced tremendous downturns.
The European economy is in tatters largely because Europe has been stuck between these
different forces.
But as a continent, as a coalition that hasn't been able to develop any sort of significant
sovereignty, Europe has experienced tremendous austerity, Europe has experienced tremendous
privatization initiatives and Europeans have experienced that economic struggle.
Americans don't care about the struggles of Europe. Americans, like the American government,
doesn't care about the struggles of Europe. We've basically used Europe in some instances
like a tax haven and in others as a holdover state, putting a buffer between ourselves
and the other polls around the world that we care about, that we worry about, you know, other
spheres of influence, other spheres of power.
That's it. Europe is just a place to store some of our nuclear arsenal. From the perspective of
American foreign policy, they see Europe as a missile sponge during the Cold War
and as a way to, you know, put some anti-missile defense systems as a holdover stage, as a staging ground for our troops when necessary,
and as a holdover state for some of our nuclear arsenal.
And I'm Turkish, so I understand that intimately. I understand that deeply.
This is what NATO is about at the end of the day.
This is what Turkey is about.
This is what Turkey has been.
And perhaps it's a calculation that favors a country like Turkey, because the other side
of that would be turning the country into Syria.
If Turkey wasn't a reliable NATO ally, then maybe it would be like Syria, it would be
a failed state.
being constantly having his political process be interfered with by Western forces.
But if you're Europe, European sovereignty is a real threat to American sovereignty or to American
hegemony rather. So I always find it strange when European nationalists and European supremacists
actually find themselves comfortable in this vassal state, or they're just open about being
vassalized to American interests, to be servile to American interests, where your interests
are secondary. It's very interesting. You can't even do nationalism correctly, which
I find extra cucked. Unless it's a perm band, I don't give a fuck. Twitchers allow this
unwashed smelly cockroach, white supremacist Nazi brain fuck with asthma, gold disputes,
extremism with little to no pushback, perm or shut the fuck up.
German hogs even do that with Putin? Yeah, I don't understand that either, but I find
it fascinating that they do that for Putin. I find it fascinating that they do that for
Trump. I just, I don't get it. I don't understand it. I don't know why. Like I wouldn't want,
I don't think Europe should be servile to Chinese interests either, right? But at the
very least Europe could leverage a relationship with China to get a stronger foothold against
America in the same way that a lot of countries, a lot of BRICS nations have, whether it be
India, whether it be Brazil, it's just a more logical play.
But Europe and European leadership can't get away from their, you know, Western supremacist
ideology that is now a genuine impediment. Now, of course, there's also the economic
interest here because Europe wants to maintain its manufacturing. And obviously China is
the manufacturing hub of the entire planet, and therefore what kind of economic opportunities
can you open up with China? How can you cooperate with China when China's ultimate goal is to be
the manufacturing hub for the entire planet, even if it destroys the economic engine that
remains in Europe, which is of course deteriorated significantly. So I understand that fear as well,
certainly. But ultimately, it makes no sense. It makes no sense to be a European nationalist or
or a European supremacist or like a European right-winger who wants sovereignty, who should
want sovereignty, but instead of developing sovereignty or demanding sovereignty, European
right-wingers find themselves under the banner of MAGA.
And when I say MAGA, I mean literally make America great again.
They wear the hats.
They wear the merch.
They watch Asmongold.
like what Trump does, even if Trump's actions are actually putting them in harm's way, putting
their economic interests in harm's way.
Look no further, look no further than the actions with Iran.
Donald Trump's actions with Iran are only beneficial to one party's short term interest.
And that country is Israel.
It's not beneficial for America.
It's not beneficial for American capital.
And it's certainly not beneficial for Europe.
yet people ride for it they're like all great you're bringing iran to heal this
is a terrifying country
all the while
iran's retaliation against american militarism and it's
uh... primacy did the establishment of his primacy over the straight of
hormones
has actually destroyed
the european economy further
it's caused tremendous instability
It's made it only worse.
So the Europeans that hate Russia, for example,
for invading Ukraine cannot comprehend
that America's actions in Iran is hurting them all the same.
And it's backfired spectacularly.
And yet the European far right still rides for MAGA.
Very strange stuff.
I don't understand it.
It's not, I mean, you have no self-preservation at that point, you know?
You have no self-preservation whatsoever.
Anyway, let's get back to the Michigan race now.
What else, Ed, when means for the Dems battle against Trump's GOP?
And Guggenertoy and I need Justin Benson, both of them will be on the show.
The current Michigan Secretary of State, they gave rousing messages to voters last night.
Listen to this.
Who do you want Michigan's leaders to work for? The people or the powerful?
Right? The people.
Well, you all know who I'll work for.
All of you and every Michigander in this state, not the highest bidder, not corporate interests, not Donald Trump, you.
We fight for the families barely able to put their groceries in the car and check out.
We fight for the mom who's worried about the child care she needs to be able to work a job
that barely pays enough. We fight for the folks who are afraid about what happens if they get sick.
We fight for each other.
They will be here along with Congresswoman Hailey Stevens, who lost to Al-Sayed in the
Senate primary.
And a reminder, Michigan is just one of the better ground states that is key to the fight
between Democrats and Republicans for the Senate majority.
Alex Eisenstadt of Axios and Jessica Taylor of the Cook Political Report are back with
us.
Jessica, I was, I think a lot of reporters and folks who care about this a lot and
pay attention a lot.
year was kind of rolling my eyes at some Democrats who were saying the Senate was going to be
in play. And including you, I think. Not me. Okay. So we're all wrong. But it seems like
there's a real sense, not just among the Democrats, but actually the number of countries, people
like you and the folks like political report that there is something happening around
the country. And I guess if you had to pull out a couple of themes that are you see
Europeans genuinely have an insanely neurotic level of race solidarity.
They're willing to burn their entire continent and sacrifice themselves to prolong American
slash Western hegemony.
Yeah, I don't get it because Western hegemony and American hegemony are two entirely separate
things because European hegemony is undermined every step of the way.
America doesn't give a fuck about European interest.
I guess the reality is like Americans have been able to successfully dupe European leadership
into believing that like they have the same dog in the fight, or rather European capitalists
do have the same dog in the fight and therefore they have been able to convince the European
masses into believing that American interests and European interests are the same, one
and the same.
I think that's what it is, right?
That makes the most sense. This is the consortium of international finance capitalists, petro-capitalists,
capitalists from different nations that are, of course, single-handedly or single-mindedly
in unison representing their class interests. And one of the greatest ways that they
can dupe their countrymen is to lean into white supremacy, European supremacy, and positioning
America as the singular force that can defend white and European and Western hegemony, Western
supremacy.
Yeah, frankly, insane story about how a Trump-linked American drilling company is setting up
Equipment in Greenland to make exploratory borehole despite being denied permission by the Greenlandic government so much for sovereignty. I guess. Yep
This is just this came out this morning
Yeah
It's really interesting because like it's obvious that it's obvious that that American
capital and I guess European capital as well doesn't necessarily care about the European
citizens.
But then again, American capital doesn't care about the American citizens either.
And we still have plenty of pro's and lumpen pro's of course, but plenty of pro's nonetheless
who don't recognize their class position and assume that American capital is still better
than anything else.
You can pop it up when you guys are talking to voters and talking to the candidates.
What are you hearing?
I mean, I think it all comes back to just costs that people feel like everything is
too high.
And I think that Abdul, you know, he talked about money out of politics, money in your
pocket and Medicare for all.
There's really incredible how much you can be wrong every turn, like it's intentional.
Yes, you're right.
American hegemony has been unbelievably beneficial for Ireland.
Just say what's wrong so we can have normal discourse instead of just like complaining
like this.
What do you take issue with?
It really resonated with voters, especially about putting more money back in your
pocket.
Haley Stevens was not a great candidate on the stump.
I think she struggled to get her message across.
She did better at the end,
but we have to remember that she,
this was a very close primary,
much closer than the poll showed.
And so...
Yeah, it's a close primary.
It doesn't mean anything.
It's a close primary only because of the tremendous amounts
of money that were spent.
Okay.
That's it.
American cultural and institutional hegemony, particularly within the imperial peripheral
core middle zone, is genuinely quite underwhelming and deadly. China is the only major country
in the world that's basically vaccinated and inoculated from this because of the Great
Fire. While even countries like Russia have their chuds and reactionaries basically ape
American culture war chud theatrics like hatred of LGBTQ and whatnot. I mean, these
are just like powerful forces of tribalism that I think people in positions of power
deploy, uh, regardless. You know, that's why there is this, uh, hog universality that I speak of,
right? You got hogs. I mean, bro, you got hogs in Iran too, you know, there's, there's chuds everywhere.
Chuds exist in every country.
I don't think the, the Russian anti LGBTQ policy is deployed as, as, uh, you know,
know, as a byproduct of like American supremacy or American hegemony, I think Russian anti-LGBT
coup policies are deployed as a mechanism to control the population. It's just they have
their own chuds. They have their own chuds that see the same benefit of destabilizing
the masses, right? The European right follows what Americans say, as seen by how we import
your culture war issues. They don't apply to us like affirmative action. I know,
Japan. Remember when I went to the Japanese Communist Party headquarters and I was asking
them about trans issues? And they were like, yeah, people have started to panic about trans
stuff here. Japan is another country that has been destroyed as a byproduct of being
an American vassal.
Trump talks about DEI and universities' disadvantage in white people despite access schemes being
entirely based on economic factors like going to a bad school, being on a free school meals
and ending up massively helping the white working class bit-brits.
They're also yank-brained.
Yeah, this is a more direct way that American brain rot actually subjugates the western
chuds.
It is a fascinating phenomena to observe though, like there is this chud universality, this
hog universality in every country that America touches in a meaningful way, where the chuds
in your countries have become Ameribrain. It is a chud hive mind, it's a hog hive
mind where it is this ironically international American nationalist movement. Fascinating stuff.
And I guess it's because of the liberal monoculture, the American cultural supremacy,
the American cultural imperialism that has set forth. Like Hollywood broke the brains of every
single person. That's part of the reason why I am so assimilated to American culture, right?
That's why I sound and look so American because I grew up with American culture. I love American culture.
I consumed all of the cultural artifacts.
I think that this unity breakfast was clearly a first step in trying to unify the party,
but do those voters that she won, you know, she won more reliable democratic based voters,
like black voters, older voters, white working class voters. So is Mike Rogers able to pick
those off. This is why I, I still thought the Stevens was the stronger general election candidate.
And, you know, there is a real attack on, um, on his association with Hassan Piker,
things about 9-11, you know, does he continue to appear with him? That is where.
Yeah, dude, you're right. Mike Rogers is hitting Abdul-Asaid on 9-11 because of his
association with me and not because he's an Islamophobic monster and Abdul-Asaid
Is muslim yeah, that's why they're that's why the the republican party immediately in their
Uh
In their in their media hit in their press releases started calling him abdul rahman muhammad el-sayed
Because of his association with me
Like why are we playing dumb? I mean, I guess it's it's because you know, she's white. She doesn't understand it
She doesn't care about islamophobia or might have those same exact concerns. Okay, these are
Like you have every opportunity not to lean into the bigotry to be like well
This bigotry is actually pretty valid line of attack because I agree with it
It's crazy. Don't say it's fucking concerning call it out for what it is
Who else was on those ads
Zoramumdani
Ilhan Omar
They were on those ads to Abdul al Sayed's own statements were on those ads also out of context
I just I find it really disingenuous and it sucks because media figures are not equipped with the appropriate
Knowledge or the appropriate talking points to counter this kind of thing where they they just sit around and they go
Yeah, I guess you're making a good point. She's not she's not making a good point
It's totally ridiculous
He is really vulnerable and Republicans are not being coy about this
They're using his full name and videos and things is is piker is the Hassan packer thing a
Real thing on the ground. It is one of those things that I'm
Unclear how much it breaks through the actual voters because I think most people don't actually know if this is a pollster saying yeah
Did that question it's not it's not a real thing. It's on piker is I think we know I think the people on the internet know
I think the average voter who is dealing with the high cost who are dealing with
maybe lost their health care because of the Obama.
Socialities weren't expanded.
Like, do they care?
Like, I'm just not convinced that
Hasan Piker is going to be an actual on the ground issue.
Well, I think if you put $30 million behind an ad
in Michigan that says that, you know,
he associated with someone who's called 9-11,
you know, that it was justified,
I think it's going to be a real problem,
especially as well as-
Even if he's apologized for it.
Even if he has,
but you can still have the clip out there.
That's what goes in the ad and different things.
Speaking of the ad and then using Dr. El-Sayed's full name, he's going right at that and Mike
Rogers, this is an ad, wait no this is him yesterday at the rally in Michigan.
Let's watch what he has to say about that.
I'm up against a guy named Mike Rogers.
And Mike Rogers, well he's decided that he wants to focus on my name.
I got some opinions about his name.
See, it's very fitting for him.
Rogers.
Because that's his answer every time a corporation
or Donald Trump tells him to do something.
Mike, we need you to put a data center in the backyard.
Roger.
Mike, we need you to hike their prescription drug prices.
Roger.
Mike, we need you to rubber stamp this war
we shouldn't be fighting.
Roger!
Mike!
This one's Donald Trump.
I need you to lick these boots!
Roger!
Not the boots.
I mean, not the boots, but...
I mean, I...
That, that what we just saw there sort of exemplifies, I think,
why El Sayed is so good.
He's a great communicator.
That Roger bit was, was very good.
good. But the other piece that Eugene reacted to is that he's not afraid to go there. And
it's sort of, he's sort of giving voice to what Democrats, what we've heard from around
the country, they want people who are going to fight and that shows fight.
We're going to see how good a candidate this guy really is, right?
Mike Rogers is not going to be a pushover.
Right. And Republicans are going to spend a lot of money in this race. And they're
going to dump a lot of opposition research on Abdul's head, things that maybe we haven't
heard about yet, but we can only do stuff that we don't know is coming down the pike, right?
But we're going to get a sense of how good a candidate he really is, and that's what
separates, you know, who ends up winning is what separates the major league baseball
players from the AAA players, right?
And we're going to get a sense of if he's an MLB player or a AAA player.
It's also interesting, Jonathan, because you brought up that clip, the issues that he chose
to include in the Mike Rogers' name, Pauling.
Anti-data centers, hiking, prescription drugs, rubber stamping a war, and being extremely
deferential to Donald Trump.
I mean, those are not communist socialist issues.
Alex, you had a piece this week that the GOP is planning a socialism teller.
Yeah. So here's, here's what it is, right?
I'm glad that they're finally parsing through this.
It's still wrong in the sense that like, oh, well, you know,
there's still the underlying premise that socialism and communism is a scary
bad, you know, Americans don't want it, of course, but
But, they're finally at the very least like not doing the GOP's bidding.
Because anytime, anytime these guys turn around and say, well, you know, it is kind of, he
is kind of radical, they're doing the GOP's bidding for the GOP, and it's actually much
more damaging because liberals have the institutional persuasive capabilities on CNN, on the MSNBC
platform, on the CNN platform.
When liberals themselves are leaning into the Republican attack ads and going, well,
he is a little dangerous.
We got to hand it to the GOP.
That's in my opinion far more dangerous than Mike Rogers being like, Abdul Al Sayed
did 9-11. Because when Mike Rogers says that, every liberal is gonna hear that and go, you're
a fucking racist piece of shit, you're eating Trump's dick and balls, shut the fuck up.
But when they see liberal platforms channel that same message only to say that it's
actually a really salient narrative, right? It's a really reliable narrative that actually
has far more consequential impacts on the minds of liberals who are tuning in.
You don't need to do that. You can just say the truth. You can just turn around and say,
no, these guys are desperate. They can't talk about the economy, which they did to a certain
degree. They can't talk about the economy. They can't talk about how bad Trump is. Obviously,
there's nothing to lean into with Trump. So they're just pulling off the oldest trick of the
the book. Pure, unadulterated, unfiltered racism. That's exactly what this is. And no liberal
worth their salt, regardless of their disagreements with Abdul, or regardless of their disagreements
with me, regardless of their disagreements with the DSA, should ever lean into that.
Okay. When we in this community oppose certain things that Kamala Harris were doing, we didn't
fucking hit her with Republican lines of attack. It was an opposition to the closeness that the
Democratic Party had to Republican policies, because first and foremost, we're ideologically
committed to anti-fascism. Okay? That's it.
Alfon, at their midterm convention in Texas, they plan to use their first-ever midterm convention
in Dallas next month to mount a sweeping, made-for-prime-time case that Democrats have become
pactive to their activists left. Axios has learned they're essentially planned-
Their goal is to drive a wedge between DSA, myself, this community, our base,
and the Democratic Party, knowing full well that there are a lot of Democrats who will
bite the bullet, who will absolutely lean into this bait. It's a trap, okay?
It is a trap. The only way that we lose, and when I say we, I don't mean just like DSA
left or the Bernie Kratz or the left populace. I mean the only way that the anti-Trump coalition
loses is if we lean into these attacks. That's why I'm telling you guys right now, we have to be
very careful. There are a lot of liberals who hate the left more than they hate MAGA and
they are going to lean into these lines of attack as they have done so, so far.
Okay? This is a real which side are you on moment? Are you a fascist or are you an anti-fascist?
Are you willing to coalesce around Trump or are you willing to coalesce around as broad of a base as possible of anti-Trump forces?
Okay? It's gonna get nasty. It's going to get dirty.
And there are plenty, there are plenty of those who will readily admit, I analyze nearest
tweets, Barbers and Critics says, I analyze nearest tweets in a whopping 67% of them were
attacking progressive Democrats versus just 33% attacking Republicans.
Interesting priorities, someone should ask themselves why she finds those who call
themselves socialists twice as much as a threat as fascists.
You have to remember this.
There was never a moment, regardless of my disagreements with the way that Kamala Harris
ran her campaign, regardless of my criticisms of establishment Democrats leaning into Liz
Cheney, leaning into the Biden deadweight.
There was never a moment where I urged my viewership to vote for Trump.
And there will never be a moment where I will ever urge my viewership to vote for
a Republican, never, ever.
And what these guys are now entertaining, some of them at least, some of them are openly
entertaining voting for Republicans.
That is completely unacceptable.
Okay?
Lucky for us, they don't really have a base.
They don't have any motion within the moderate wing of the Democratic Party either.
I'm sure you know this from your parents, right?
I'm sure some of you have very moderate, self-identifying, liberal parents.
They probably hate the Republican Party.
They probably hate Trump.
Do you think they would ever vote for a Republican or Donald Trump?
Hell no.
Hell fucking no.
No matter how libbed up your parents are, there is a 0% chance they would ever find themselves going,
You know what? This Democrat is a bridge too far. As a matter of fact, they probably like
Abdul Al Sayed. They probably love Zoram Mubdani.
You understand?
These people are not simply playing politics in the primary. They have a higher ideological
commitment to opposing the left.
You know how we've said like there are some in the Democratic Party who oppose the left
with far more severity and far more, they're far more interested in destroying their left
flank than opposing Trump.
Nieratandon is one of those people.
The Democratic Party, on the other hand, broadly have shown that they are more serious than
this.
That's why I welcome the Kamala Harris endorsement of Abdul El Sayed.
That's why I welcome the sea of endorsement that came in the aftermath of the Unitary
Rally.
It's very, like it's very clear that there are some Democrats who are party operatives
who care about opposing Donald Trump far more than fighting an ideological battle against
socialism against communism against their left flank.
That's it.
But they're worse campaign targeting the ascended democratic left and socialism.
Jessica, do you, in all of the research that you're doing and all the time that you spend
sifted in the numbers, is this going to be effective?
I do.
I still think that the midterms are going to be a referendum on Donald Trump.
That's what it comes down to.
I'm on your side on this, but what do you say to the people who suggest you provided
the same amount of friction towards Harris that Centres consultants are now pushing
on Abdul?
Yeah.
The difference is they're leaning into Republican lines of attack.
I was demanding that Kamala Harris actually wake the fuck up and take a stronger opposition
to Trumpism, stronger opposition to MAGA, stronger opposition to the far right mass deportation
sentiment coming from Donald Trump.
Do you understand?
I was demanding that Kamala Harris cut her losses with the Biden administration,
was dead weight, anchoring around her neck. Those were good, those were good points that
I was delivering. And instead they leaned into this mythical moderate center. This mythical
moderate centrist voter, and that's why they lost.
My demands for Kamala Harris was not for her to listen to me as some random fucking
dickhead on the internet, in the same way that these random fucking dickheads at Center
for American Progress and whatnot are demanding of the listen to them. My demand was for Kamala
Ayers to listen to her base. Because at the end of the day, that's the major difference
between someone like myself and someone who works for a think tank in Washington, D.C.
They have no base. We do. I am a representative of this base within the Democratic Coalition.
and it turns out I was right. We were right to make these demands. Although the overwhelming majority of this community voted for Kamala Harris, they plugged their noses once again and voted for Kamala Harris, she's still lost.
And she lost because she leaned into the right-wing nonsense.
She didn't put distance between herself and Joe Biden.
She didn't lean into the early excitement that carried her into the DNC, an excitement
that was born out of the fact that she was not Joe Biden.
But if they can make out some of these candidates out to be too extreme, too scary, we saw it
like in 2022, the candidates matter.
Do writers buy this language specifically that they're, that these candidates are socialists
and communists?
I think this is a better example, Cory Bush lost and you will not be behaving like them
to Wesley Bell.
Yeah, exactly.
I hate Wesley Bell, but I'm not going to fucking talk about Wesley Bell.
It's over.
It's done.
He won.
He won overwhelmingly.
got carried once again by a pack money
and now he's a part of this fucking democratic party coalition
when the time comes and he tries to create a a hurdle against
you know legislation that that tries to
dial back israel's violence for example will have that conversation when
we get there
someone like rory cooper they'll buy it for north carolina they don't buy it
for a share of Brown in Ohio, but you,
with the more progressive candidates,
that's where I think it's risky
because this isn't New York City, this isn't Denver.
This is a real test of whether a more progressive candidate
can win in a place like Michigan.
I mean, I'm watching the Wisconsin primary
coming up this Tuesday.
That's, you have an actual democratic socialist.
I mean, I think that the language gets fuzzy.
They're sort of tying it up,
painting everyone with a really broad brush,
but you have an actual democratic socialist
that is running in one of the most
in essential swing states for governor,
but I think she really puts that race more at risk.
But again, is the wave big enough for Democrats
that that doesn't matter?
And that might be the case.
That's one reason why we kept Michigan Senate in toss up,
but I think it still is Republicans'
best pickup opportunity and why Wisconsin Senate,
even if Francesca Hong wins on Tuesday,
we're gonna keep that race in toss up as well.
Democrats, what's so interesting about Democrats
is often they kind of allow Republicans
to declare what the rules of the world are.
They let them say what the debate is going to be about.
And I've been talking to a lot of Democrats,
both moderate and lefties, about like,
why is that the case?
Like, Alex, you cover Republicans in half
for such a long time, like they are very good
at saying this is what this election
is going to be about, right?
This socialism conversation, right?
This communism conversation.
They are forcing every single Democrat
to have to answer that question.
Instead of the Democrat saying, this is ridiculous, reporters.
They say that on other things.
But on this, they're trying to say, well,
I don't believe what Francesca's saying in Wisconsin.
I don't.
It's like, no, you don't live in Wisconsin.
Say that.
And I'm curious, when you're talking to Republicans,
do they feel, despite all of the wind at Democrats
back over the last year and a half in different places,
how good or bad are they feeling about the midterms,
both the House and the Senate?
When you're talking to them privately,
they'll concede that they definitely the wins are at the Democrats backs you know
they'll say that right I mean they definitely think that they've got an
uphill path to keeping the House and they think they're still favored to keep the
Senate at this point. One thing though to watch as it relates to Abdul though and
that the convention that you just mentioned is that the convention's
timing is interesting because it ends the night before the 25th anniversary of
of 9-11. And so you've heard Republicans talk, refer to Abdul by his full name. It's gonna
be interesting to see how they message that.
Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I think he's gonna backfire. Abdul Osayad is too much of a homegrown
America lover. Like, will it work to a certain degree? Are there people who will hear his
name, see the color of his skin and immediately go, yep, I know exactly what I know about
sure, there will be. But elections are not about winning every single vote.
Elections are about winning enough votes. And I don't think you can build a very
broad coalition against Abdel El-Said by constantly just going 9-11, 9-11, 9-11,
Islamophobia, Islamophobia, he's a terrorist, he's a terrorist, he's a
terrorists. It's just not going to work. I think most people will look at that and recognize
it for what it is. Most people will look at that and go, well, I want the guy who's, you
know, offering to fight for me, offering to fight against the influence of corporations
and politics, offering to put my interest first, offering me health care. You know?
it. Because the other side of this is, and I said this about Kamala Harris too, if you guys remember,
like her being, her being a black woman from California was a hurdle. It's a white supremacist
country. A lot of people are going to look at you differently, right? But it was a hurdle that
that she could have climbed. Right? I said this about Kamala Harris as well. I've said
this about AOC when people say, oh, America's not ready for a, you know, email candidate.
You're wrong. If Barack Obama is a black man whose middle name is Hussein could do
it. Anyone can. It's just that Barack Obama, I'm not talking about his governance here,
I'm just talking about his campaign, totally separate things.
Barack Obama ran a very good campaign. They said he was unelectable too. He was able
to muster up these progressive forces and ride this wave. He was the hope and change
candidate. They hit Obama with the same exact. He's unelectable
bullshit.
You said that the Matthew. Yeah.
A Democrat. Who would you pick between Gavin Newsom and Ron
Emmanuel oh god oh shoot baby Pritzker
Pritzker or Chris Vanhap it's not even a question
AOC is out of all of the people that you mentioned but AOC is is the only one that I would like and you think she could win
General election. Yeah, the sojournistic racist country. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Love on the sojournistic racist in this country
Absolutely
America was was built on the foundations of white supremacy and elected a black man whose middle name was Hussain
But you know that the position number I come on
Like I don't have any
Like I know it'll be difficult I know it'll be difficult but ultimately
In my opinion, it's far more difficult to win on moderation with a white guy than it
is to win with good policies being delivered by a brown woman.
there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I think we take real quick. We
have to go just come back. I
would follow up on something
you just said you said that
Michigan is the best pickup
opportunity for for Republicans
and that they could pull
political report still has it
as a toss up. I'm just wondering, is there a Senate race that could be an unexpected
pick up for Democrats that you're keeping an eye on that could cancel out the loss of
Michigan? I mean, the map is growing. And so I think you have Iowa and Texas that are
in that next tier to get them if they, but those are still double digit Trump states.
I moved Kansas this week onto the competitive map. So, you know, there are these really
red states, that's a 16 point Trump state, that because Democrats, Democrats have recruited
well and you know sort of the main debacle and everything aside, they've recruited well
in states like North Carolina, Ohio, Alaska, and that's one of the reasons why they're
in the mix for Senate control.
I want to talk more about Kansas next time.
I'll just say, Jessica Taylor, thank you so much for doing it.
Michigan's Democratic candidate for Governor Jocelyn Benson, who currently serves as
Michigan Secretary of State joins us now. Good morning, Secretary. Thank you for joining
us and congratulations on your big week. Thank you. All right, I'm going to skip the rest of it.
Yeah, he's just cooking. He's cooking. Joining us. This was interesting. We got to, we got to
win a dang election. Representative Stevens is fired up to help Michigan Dems secure wins in
November. Yes, now, Congresswoman Hailey Stevens of Michigan. Congresswoman, welcome to the
weekend. What's your thought on her? I mean, look, I think she's, like, I still very
much oppose Haley Stevens's worldview, but it's impossible for me not to give her credit for
immediately snapping into action. It's great. It's very important.
Like that she is a party loyalist. She's a party loyalist. She is a real workhorse. You know what
What I mean? She's given it. She's she's doing the stick it to him.
Haley Stevens is growing on me.
I have to get your reaction to a story in the New York Times from Thursday
with the headline moderate Democrats prepare for war against an ascendant left.
And it says, and it's all about how the organization Third Way is going to spend $15 million to
push back against far left and progressive candidates winning.
And I'm quoting from the New York Times, their fear, Dr. L Syed was paving a path for a progressive
to seize the party's presidential nomination in 2028 and then go on to lose the general
election.
And this is a quote from Jonathan Cowan, the president of Third Way.
is deeply troubling to see radical far-left candidates winning in places that are potentially
presidential swing states. Two questions. One, do you share that concern? And two, is
this where people in the party should be focusing their attention right now?
Oh, my God. I have no idea. I didn't know about this third-way business. I mean,
I haven't talked to them. Look, we're in the trenches right now in Michigan.
I mean, we gotta come and win a day in election.
She's right.
She's right.
She's right.
When you're right, you're right.
Respect.
Respect.
Do you care about setting up hurdles against Donald Trump or not?
A lot of these guys, at third way and these centrist think tanks, they don't give a shit.
If Trump wins, they still win, okay?
They don't care.
They feel, perhaps foolishly, that they can avoid the worse.
They feel as though any kind of entry point to more left flank policies within the Democratic
Democratic tent is a threat to their bottom line, right? That's it. That's it. That's literally
their primary concern. Many of them will become Republicans if they're not already secretly
Republican, okay?
So don't be shocked when these third-wave dipshits a couple years down the line turn
into open Republicans. They say, you know, sorry, this is a bridge too far for me. These
guys are too radical. The left just left me behind. I've been a progressive my whole life,
but you know, the progressives are too far too out of control. The reason why they're
doing that is because they just care about protecting their bottom line. They don't
give a fuck about Americans being gunned down in the streets by ICE. They just want
to make sure that they don't have to pay more taxes. Their job is to control the Democratic
Party to the best of their ability to connect Democrats with these corporate entities. They
are the connective tissue between Corpo Dems and the corporations themselves. All they
care about is making sure that their bottom line is protected, that corporate interests
are protected
there are those on the other hand
who are careerist democrats who at least like
care about the democratic party winning elections
care about the democratic party genuinely creating a senate majority
hayley stevens is a person
who understands
the moment
whether it's because of her ambitions for future office
or higher office later down the line who knows doesn't matter she
understands that this moment requires her
to get the work
and push for obdol also had to ensure
that the senate majority is
delivered to the hands of the democratic party
and while i have my issues with the national democratic party i understand
that assignment as well
i recognize that this moment requires us to collaborate with
liberal capitalist democrats who oppose us every step of the way
and the only reason why i recognize it is because
the fucking fascist republican party are setting up blacklist
okay
they want to jail us
they are already killing our neighbors they're occupying our cities
there is no other way
there is no other way to put an end to this
and it's not like it's going to be a foolproof way to put an end
to trumpism to maga to fascism
but it's at least one additional hurdle our job right now
to sabotage this administration's most violent tendencies.
Our job right now is to try to set up as many hurdles as possible.
We cannot simply sit around and expect the courts to do the fucking job,
especially when the courts are in the crosshairs of this administration,
especially when the courts have been filled to the brim
with
Republican psychopaths.
This is an existential fight for American democracy.
This is an existential fight for America as a institution,
as a country.
It's an existential fight for all Americans,
even those who oppose us every step of the way.
If you care about due process, you have to fight for it.
If you care about free speech, you have to fight for it.
sometimes alongside people who are unlikely allies.
I mean, it's major.
I got a Congress candidate, Christina Hines,
a running in Michigan 10.
She's about to come over.
We're gonna be working this morning.
I want everyone to get involved with her race.
We're gonna flip that seat.
Hakeem Jeffries needs to become the speaker
from a place called Michigan.
You know what?
I don't wanna, I'm done with the dunking
and the criticizing and the talking,
but I didn't know about,
I don't know why we're talking about war.
Is that the New York Times words, Cape Art,
or is that the Third Way's words?
Who's saying war?
The war is in quotes,
and I'm not gonna attribute it to Third Way without having it.
Okay, I hadn't seen it.
The New York Times practically moved to Michigan.
We were doing this primary.
I mean, they were here every other day,
but jeez Louise, we gotta look.
I don't, you know,
everyone's got their different focuses.
I am very focused on making sure
that we protect and expand Medicaid.
I am very focused on making sure
that we do voting rights.
I am very focused on making sure that,
yes, the 19 labor unions that were in my primary with me,
that their members are coming out and voting.
Look, I was bopping all over Detroit yesterday
and people are fired up.
You know, I'm not wasting a minute.
I've been knocking doors and being in this party
since I was old enough to be in the party.
I love being in the party and there is an existential threat in this country.
There's outright corruption.
You got the debt growing faster than the GDP, meaning we are bankrupting ourselves.
We're about to hit the 2030s.
All right?
Social security is going.
We got a whole thing here that leads the future.
There's a long list, Congresswoman, of things, and you are fired up.
I am.
I love being a Democrat.
This is great. You and your new friend Abdul El Sayed. He was just on the new bestie. He
said he'd be happy to be on the trail with you. And he has your endorsement. How much
are you going to be on the trail appearing next to him as we move forward?
These guys all know me. I told the party cheer. I told Abdul. I told them all. I said,
You just call me, you know, Jocelyn Benson.
She was just on the show.
We love Jocelyn.
It's such a cool ticket.
I mean, when have you seen a ticket like that in Michigan?
We just produce these awesome tickets.
I remember in 18, we had Whitmer, Nestle, and Benson.
I called them the real big three.
So I told, look, to answer your question directly though,
I'll do whatever's needed.
You know, I'm on the team, you know, folks know,
they know I'm in the house, right?
I'm a Democratic seat flipper.
And this is why I'm working with Heinz,
Christina Hines, Hillary
Sultan out in West Michigan.
She's a foot soldier and she's
trying to flip Sean McCain or
McCann rather. This isn't this nice
guy who's going to beat Bill
Heisinger. He's a real solid Democrat.
I mean, we got Kelly Barr in the North.
I mean, we got a bunch of people
running in Michigan who are going
to flip seats and give
Hakeem Jeffries the historic
nomination. Congresswoman Hayley Stevens
fired up, ready to go.
Every person who has
and ready for office break your windbreaker game. Thank you.
Oh yeah. This is vintage. This is my dad's vintage jacket.
We love it. Shout out to dad, Steve. She's actually on our
end of the grown up a little bit. Think that when she on our
end of the grown up gets a pack money didn't hit this week.
No, it's over. They're like, she's like primaries over primaries
over time to get back to fucking work, roll up the
sleeves, you know.
She's raised the APAC stooge. Hey, hey, it's clear to me that there is a higher priority
here for Hayley Stevens, and it's good that you guys recognize that. The higher priority
here is not to maintain the APAC stooge position. The higher priority for her is to maintain
the Democratic majority to create the Democratic Senate majority.
Politics is a nasty game.
Paul is a fucking nasty game man. That's it. So, you know, you just got to you got
to lock in. Yeah, it'll shock you. It'll spin your head. One day they'll be
saying Abdul is a is a anti-semite next day to be like, I love that anti-semite.
That's how it works. This is the difference between people like us who have our convictions
and people who have none of them.
What is this? Oh, Asmongold, why I'm gone. He made a YouTube video and he doubled down
on it. He doubled down. I apologize for nothing. What will Twitch do now? What do
What do you mean?
They're going to unban him eventually.
They won't give him the, they won't give him, I don't know the length of the ban, but you
know, we'll, we'll watch this later.
Let's just keep going.
Why is Francesca Hong winning?
Let's take a look.
We talk more generally about America these days or more generally about Wisconsin these
days.
That the undercurrent of the average person is very, very negative.
They don't see the American dream as serving them.
True.
saying, let's say my salary isn't keeping up with inflation, or I can't afford to fill
a gas tank in my car.
Francesca Hong has tapped into it much better than the remaining king.
I kind of don't understand why people are absorbing api politicians with zero caution,
buddy.
I need you to understand something.
Haley Stevens comes out and says, I love Abdul El Sayed.
I'm endorsing him.
If Abdul Al Sayed turns around and says, fuck that, she's the Apex douche, what do you think
the media narrative is going to be?
You always have to think like, is this helpful?
Is this not helpful?
Even with the same calculation, even with the same calculation of like coming out
and being like, yeah, Hassan is a horrible monster, Hassan is a horrible monster.
I should have never had him on the campaign trail.
Is this a helpful calculation?
Is this an unhelpful calculation, regardless of what his own personal opinion might be?
You have to be pragmatic. You have to be pragmatic.
Yeah, you say thank you for the support and you move on. That's it.
I'm saying thank you for the support. Hey, Lee Stevens and we're moving on.
I don't think you guys get it like I just because if you were to turn around and be like, no, I'm a fucking purist.
Right which like is understandable if he if he was like saying like you called me anti-semite last week
You're gonna apologize for it or something like that if he said that okay? What do you think the media narrative would be?
Look at the media narrative for me right now. I was yelling at the fucking consultants that set up
These Islamophobic lines of attack that Mike Rogers is now echoing mirroring
Okay, when I talk about the Beltway pundits, when I talk about the commentary, I'm talking
about this blob of people who are mercenaries, okay, that set up these narratives that don't
really change from the Republican hands to the Democratic Party hands, okay?
And what did they do?
They clipped it to say, I'm yelling at the fucking voters.
I've yelled at the liberal Democratic Party for years for vote shaming.
I am not vote-shaming there.
I am shaming the consultant class.
And look how they set it up.
Now, Mike Rogers is trying to, ironically enough, the very same pundits that I yelled at,
use that as an opportunity to falsely claim that I was vote-shaming, right?
And then now Mike Rogers is using it all the same.
look at that
if you're among the majority of democrats who did not vote for senate
nominee and believes you work hard earn your support is top campaign surrogate
has a message for you
i said i'm talking about dc elites who you are very much a part of dipshit your
first i was implying obelisk terrace
you all have failed the people you have no good policies will funnel tax
dollars israel continue endless wars and robert stantrums violence and
corruption
Now, Mike Rogers is doing the same thing that those fucking supposedly quote unquote liberal centrist commentary it did.
Okay.
You see.
Is there they're like this, they're like this.
This is how they are.
They don't give a fuck.
They're mercenaries.
If someone is a threat to their bottom line, they'll try to take them out.
And they will not shy away from leaning into the Republicans to do the same
They have no loyalty to a cause
Their loyalty is to the almighty dollar first and foremost to protect their comfortable sinicures if the left flank is
opposing
Their comfortable position in DC. They will fucking do everything in their power
It'll be a knife fight
So if someone is not doing that like Haley Stevens who's not engaging in this kind of nonsense
I'm gonna give them their flowers. I know it's a low bar to clear
Haley Stevens is called me an
Anti-Semite called me her her
Campaigns final day the last 24 hours for Haley Stevens was literally fuck us on
So if I'm not offended if I'm giving her flowers for fucking stumping for Abdul now
What the fuck is it to you?
We have to be pragmatic.
Do you understand?
No, she didn't apologize and neither did Mallory McMorris.
It doesn't fucking matter.
It doesn't matter to me because I care about producing results.
Do you understand?
I under, I recognize how this stuff works.
It's a dog eat dog world. A lot of these guys are very mercenary in the way that they view everything
Okay, and for them
Terrifying when they actually meet someone who is
Motivated by by real policies they want to implement rather than simply advancing their career
Ironically enough, it's pure projection when they try to say like oh, someone probably loves this extra attention. I don't
I don't like it at all, but we have to be a little bit more pragmatic.
That's it.
I'm not saying, you know, make Mauro Hayley Stevens the leader of this movement or anything
like that.
It's that simple.
I want Abdul El-Sahed to win.
And then I want Abdul El-Sahed to deliver on his promises.
I want him to fight.
Part of that victory is also
avoiding a
Republican Senate majority, which is important to me,
both important to me personally and important to the people that I love.
Because I know that if there aren't any hurdles placed in front of Donald Trump
with a Senate majority, with a House majority,
in the hands of the Democratic Party,
Donald Trump is going to use his lame duck period
to be even more vicious than he has been thus far.
We need to set up hurdles.
It's that simple.
We need to do everything we can to cause hurdles
and to gum up the works and to set up impediments
and to set up at least the beginning of accountability
for this administration's rampant corruption.
I'll give you one example of issues
that we care about, right?
Cuba, with a Senate, with a majority in Congress, with a congressional majority in the hands
of the Democrats.
The number of Democrats that we've actually helped elect into office, who have actually
demanded an embargo on Israel, or have criticized the Trump administration's handling of Cuba.
We can now push them to take the initiative on these issues, to start committee hearings,
to be loud, to get this issue in front of many Americans who are also frustrated about
it.
This is how it works.
This is how you build a larger, broader movement.
Because right now, Democrats have no power.
They have no way of setting up investigations and making a big stink about certain issues.
They can only get in front of cameras every now and then and yell about it.
Rokana and Thomas Massey have done a pretty decent job with the Epstein files but that's
like not commonplace.
So anyone that plays a role in helping this happen, I'm on board with.
I'm just afraid we're slowly abandoning Palestinians.
That's crazy.
Getting someone like Abdul Al-Said elected in the Senate is not abandoning the
Palestinians.
It's the exact opposite.
That's why when I see Kamala Harris endorse Abdul El Sayed, I don't see that as Abdul El
Sayed capitulating because at the end of the day, this has nothing to do with like white
Washington Kamala Harris's background or white Washington Kamala Harris's previous actions
as the vice president against the Palestinian population.
It's actually Kamala Harris giving Abdul El Sayed more legitimacy without Abdul El
say it turning around and saying you know what actually I'm dropping the
Palestinian cause
it's the opposite the same goes for Obama and Zoran a lot of people are like
Obama's war criminal Obama's war criminal I'm one of those people right I've
been very critical of the Obama administration but I've also given the
Obama administration its flowers when it deserves it like the JCPOA like the
Cuban normalization these are things that are unbelievably important these
are instances where Obama stuck his neck out in very meaningful ways I got
punished for it, right? It wasn't the best. But it's the same as the ACA. It was the same
as the ACA. He expended a lot of political and social capital. Could he have gone harder?
Could he have actually set up the public option? Absolutely. But to say that these
aren't consequential in the lives of so many Americans would be ridiculous. For every
Libya there is a Cuba for every for every surge there is the JCPOA you got
to call balls and strikes now at the end of the day at the end of the day
Barack Obama appearing alongside Zoran plays a very reliable role in boosting
the credibility of Zoran in the eyes of many Liberals, okay? It's protection for Zoran.
It's necessary protection. So as long as Zoran doesn't turn around and goes, as long as Zoran
doesn't go around and turn around and, you know, drop some of his previous positions on
these issues, then it's good. It makes Zoran mainstream. It makes Zoran protected. And
We need him to be protected.
We need all of our soldiers to be protected, to put it that way.
Same as we need our media to be protected as well.
Many of you get upset when you feel as though the defense is coming from our electeds is
insufficient.
Why do you feel that way?
Is it purely because you care about me as an individual?
Or is it because you understand that left media also has to be protected in the same way?
A little bit of institutional protection from liberals goes a long way, right?
Because this is, in some respects, a foundation for a broader, stronger left movement.
Because if that wasn't the case, if that wasn't the case, right?
Then these guys wouldn't be spending a great deal of time and effort and money trying to
defang at least one element of this broad left movement.
Media independent media plays a significant component, a significant role in this.
We are the ones who have destroyed the previous gatekeepers.
Breaking points, majority report.
Dropsites at Ayo, Kyle, and myself too.
Democracy now.
And the more impact we have, the more aggressive the attacks will get.
But we can overcome said attacks.
But we have to be resilient.
That's it.
And that she is really speaking to them in their language.
And so we've got this dichotomy.
On the one hand, she's a far left democratic socialist who, by conventional wisdom, should
not be doing very well in the polls.
But is it possible that these unhappy voters, these disgruntled voters who are mad at Trump,
mad at the world, mad at the system, are saying, I don't give a darn if she's a socialist?
Yep.
Thanksgiving flip-flop Ignite's new controversy in Wisconsin race. Oh God
So
Wait, what the fuck is this you will see Beth no more see black that's from electrical sparks
It's not safe to use anymore. Goodbye Beth. You have been a real workhorse. Your namesake still is hard worker
I will miss you
God, I fucking love Chuck Grassley.
It's a sad day at Grassley household.
For my 34 years and 15 years before that, at my mother-in-law's home, Beth has worked
dependably.
He is so goaded, I can't deny it.
of the Michigan polls, do you think France race could be closer than we think? Um, maybe,
but I have been talking to a bunch of pollsters behind the scenes and they are fairly confident
in their polling. So you never know, which is why we have to lock in, which is why I'd
never took the Abdul race for granted, which is why I never took the Francesca
race for granted, and I went out there to support both. You understand? Yes, Francesca's race
is open primary as well, and Republicans, well, I think Republicans actually, I will
admit something right now.
I think Republicans actually are excited about Francesca's victory more than they were about
Abdul's.
They said both, they said both Abdul and Francesca will be far weaker opponents.
This is real.
Except they were lying about Abdul.
They legitimately believe Francesca would be a far weaker opponent than a regular moderate
Democrat.
However, they're wrong.
Okay.
So you have to remember that.
just wrong. So actually, they're underestimating Francesca Hong, and that's a good thing for us.
Oh, is Wisconsin an open primary? Is not an open primary? I thought Wisconsin was an open primary.
Are you sure? Wait, I mean, you'll probably know better. I don't...
Open primary.
Yeah, no, it is. It is an open primary. Why did you say it was a closed primary? I was right.
Yeah, primary elections allow voters to determine which candidates compete in general election can
be nonpartisan or partisan. Partisan primaries voters choose a candidate they prefer political.
Is it different for the governor race? Wait, now people are saying it is closed.
Oh, it's open, but you can only vote in one party?
Did you ever cover the theory that due to it being an open primary, the Republicans were
voting for Stevens, possibly accounting for the polling discrepancy? Yes, I have covered
that theory. I don't know how much weight I put on it. It's not closed. You just can't
participate in both primaries. Yeah, I just don't... Here's the thing. Here's the thing.
Yeah, you can't cross party vote in Wisconsin, but I will say this, I will say this, I will say this,
it's called a semi-open primary, same as Maine's was,
independence or Republicans can vote in the dem one, but can't vote in another once they do.
So, the Republican primary isn't competitive. I think that's too risky. Does Tom Tiffany have
opposition? Actually, I don't even know. I thought Tom Tiffany was running unopposed,
the way that they were talking about it. So, there might be like an unserious opposition,
but I'm pretty sure he's unopposed, right? If there's only one Republican candidate,
Then in a semi-closed primary or a semi-open primary, you could see some Republicans actually
lean in the direction of one candidate. Now, here's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's the thing.
Here's the thing. It still doesn't matter because I don't think the Republicans would vote
against Francesca Hong because they're afraid of Francesca Hong. I think the Republicans are
under estimating Francesca Hanh, which is good for us.
Stephen, sidestepping a question on Abdul al-Said's anti-Israel views in her first
interview since her Senate primary law swap.
What do you say to your supporters who say, I could never support al-Said because I'm
concerned about the future of the state of Israel?
Well, look, I think people are going to have to make, you know, a personal and private decision.
You know, Michigan is a big state.
New coalitions are coming forward.
That my friends is a non-answer.
Abdul El-Sayed has recently doubled down on his criticism of Israel calling the Jewish
state bloodthirsty.
And on the other side of Lake Michigan, the same socialist ideology looking to spread
in the Rust Belt to Wisconsin's governor race.
That's where Francesca Hong has emerged
as the front runner in the Democrat primary
with a very clear far left agenda.
Abolishing ice.
Yes.
A one year data center moratorium.
Yes.
Breaking up a big ag.
Yes.
Public grocery stores.
Yes.
Right to repair.
Yes.
Legalizing cannabis.
Yes.
Overturning Citizens United.
Yes.
A Workers' Bill of Rights.
Yes.
A free Palestine.
Yes.
the Samantha police unions defund the police and the service industry. We are finally having
this conversation about, you know, how our industry really did come from it and kind of is rooted in
white supremacy. Joining us now is the former communications director for Speaker McCarthy,
Mark Bedner. And I don't know why they do the yes, no, uh, speed around because they're so dumb.
that just makes her fucking look awesome.
Like I'm not saying this because I'm far left and this is a far left agenda.
But like that stuff is not going to scare the average voter.
It's very stupid, like you just played her
saying fuck big ag and yes, to write to repair.
That's huge.
And it's really funny because like they just simply do not comprehend that
their
established norms and their
established
There is established like appropriate policy agenda is actually odious to the average person
Any fucking farmer that hears her go fuck big ag yes to a right for repair is going to go
Actually, I thought she was radical. I don't know about the ass stuff
The farmers probably are also not exactly pro ice any longer because you know ice was packing up their farm hands
But they're gonna hear her say yes to this shit and go actually I kind of like what she has to say
Americans think anything they like becomes moderate. Exactly. The reality of the matter
is a moderate farmer who's watching Fox News is going to hear her say that and go, well,
That's moderate. Those are moderate positions.
What do you think from the perspective of a farmer?
What do you think is more radical?
Being pro-right to repair so they can fucking repair their goddamn tractors without
sending you the John Deere every goddamn time or the opposite?
What do you think a farmer is going to consider to be fucking moderate?
It's so stupid
That an anti flock an anti data center is catnip for the boomer Republicans
They love that shit. They love those positions. That's part of the reason why as I've said over and over again
There's motherfucking lawn signs with mega signs on them
There's motherfucking laws with mega lawn signs on them next to Francesca Hong lawn signs
And yes, this is also very important to understand. If she ends up winning every single age group,
can you really call her a fractional candidate? We looked at the crosstabs from the state
navigate poll and the crosstabs across age show Francesca Hong destroying with the
under 44 age demographic, plus 54, 30 to 44, plus 69, 18 to 29, and even ages 45 and
And above she's either plus 18 up to 64 and with 65 plus she's tied.
So she's winning every demographic.
She's winning basically every type of Democratic voter.
That's why she has this insane margin right now.
Yet, Wisconsin seemingly is on a totally different planet, okay?
That's why for Francesca Hong, we in this community are Wisconsin nationalists, okay?
The People's Republic of Wisconsin is a life of its own.
from outside of Wisconsin clearly are not identifying what is making Francesca Hong so likeable.
And yet, because of the way that our media works, because of the way that these fucking
Beltway dipshits operate, they literally cannot comprehend, like they don't even look
at the situation and go, this candidate that's like up fucking 40 points on everybody
else is wrong.
The voters are wrong.
They just simply don't understand it.
And then they keep opposing the voters.
They don't even want to, they don't even want to go back to their priors and maybe, maybe
admit that they're wrong.
They just go, not the voters are wrong.
It's not us.
It's crazy.
How can you look at this situation and not realize that maybe your calculation is wrong?
How can you not?
How can you not recognize that perhaps your calculation is absolutely busted here?
And yeah, Mark Pican did it too, to near attendant as well.
I'm deeply disturbed by the possibility this candidate does not understand the primary
electorate is different from the general electorate in literally every election.
Have the candidates selected by the primary lose and many like Kerry Lake lose winnable
races.
Mark Pican remember when I told you, we needed Hillary Clinton to come to Wisconsin
when she was running in 2016 and you never got her there? I think I would sit this one
out if I were you. We got this. Pick one of the other 49 to focus on, please. Wisconsin
will support the primary winner near attended.
Big fan of yours. And I don't remember this, but I'm sure you're right. I didn't control
Hillary's travel schedule. So I hope you told more than me. I deeply worry about
GOP election denier and the governor was, uh, governor mentioned in 2028,
I see data like Marquis, Wisconsin poll showing her behind Tiffany as Dems are beating GOP
across the country. And I wonder why you're so confident because in the Senate in 2022,
as I recall, you were quite confident Ron Johnson would lose, not personal.
Let's just say I trust DGA and others. Tiffany is extremely toxic in Wisconsin on
multiple fronts. My job is to make sure we don't kill each other in the primary.
and I'm doing my best on that. We appreciate national help in a positive way.
In Wisconsin, the differential is stark. Not a single under 40-year-old has been for anyone but
Fran. Those 80 and above definitely trend towards Crowley at the doors, but they do not want any
any Republican to win, exactly. That's why we have safety. That's why I say, with this
very important if, if the, if the DGA, and the, which they will by the way, the DGA will
coalesce around and will push for Francesca Hong if she's the winner or when she's the
winner of the primary. So I'm not very worried about that. Okay. And Mark Pican understands
that as well. But here's the thing, here's the thing, here's the thing. The reason why
I always say that these unique left-rank candidates have an easier shot at winning, especially
when there is populist rage that they can lean into.
Okay?
Is because the Democrats already have the lifelong Democratic Party voters wrapped up.
The anti-Trump voters are always going to vote for the Democrats no matter what.
So in the primary, they might be strong opposition, but in the general, they're on board.
They're on board with the process.
Okay?
Those guys are a lock anyway.
So the actual unique candidate, the left-wing candidate that is actually bringing turnout
and drawing support
from unlikely
voter bases like
young voters
is more likely to win in the general
than a centrist democrat
who leans into the democratic party base
well you have no idea how bad the ashot terfing is in wisconsin right now every
form of media is getting blasted with any hung messaging money faucet turned
towards us
Yeah, my only fear is that I don't know if the, the Hong campaign is like, I mean, I, I like, I, I love Francesca.
Hon, you guys know this. I just don't know if they're like aware that they accidentally nationalize the campaign a little bit by responding to the old tweets.
And, and when that happens, the media will, once they prick and once they draw blood, they're not going to stop.
they they smell the blood
there's blood in the water they're gonna keep fucking hammering now
and
and the difference of course with op-dual was he was able to very
successfully play the role of
uh... he was a he was able to jujitsu every single media uh... every single
media hit
into an opportunity to deliver what his message was
whereas
with francesca hung i worry a little bit that
the nationalization of this otherwise, like previously sleepy race, uh, for Wisconsin governor
is, uh, is, is only causing people to, to think that she doesn't have the goods when
she does.
She has great policies.
It's just that she's too nice and, and her personality, which I think is very appealing
to Wisconsinites, clearly, demonstrably, is making people undermine her further in the
now nationalized media campaign. It's too late for them to change the outcome, though. No, guys,
that's never, it's never too late. You can't think like that.
Like I listened to the Chapo criticisms of Francesca Hong, and I will admit there was
one thing that Felix actually nailed. They were being far too harsh on her as always,
but there was one thing that they nailed. Felix actually said something that I do
kind of agree with. He said the Thanksgiving response that she delivered reminded him of
Kamala Harris. It was too wordy, it was too long-winded. It felt like she was trying to
filibuster the question. And there's a little bit of truth to that. Now, this is not me
being a doomer at all. This is just an area of improvement. That's it. Like, I don't
think this is going to ruin her chances or anything like that.
I'm not saying that at all.
I don't think this is, uh, this is a make it or break it situation for her at all.
But I do think that feedback is important because she needs to be more cutting.
She needs to be more biting and she needs to, every single in every single
instance, flip the narrative back to a policy in the same way that Zoran did
in the same way that all of our left flank candidates have done.
Yeah. There was another candidate who was doing that a little bit. Her name is Julie Gonzalez.
If you recall, and if you remember our interview that we did with Julie, I had the stopper
and literally tell her like you can, you know, you can be more direct with your responses
and then get into the explainer.
It's always better to be more direct.
It's always better to just be bold.
So, yeah, because it's vibes, it's all vibes,
and you can't come across as like your defensive,
you just answer the question.
Like, I would go so far, say it'd be better
if she was straight up like, look, I tweeted that.
I don't really like Thanksgiving.
I know many others do as governor, I'm not going to cancel Thanksgiving.
That's ridiculous.
Like even if she leaned into her previous position, that would probably be better
than just like and project confidence.
I would probably be better vibes based overall than to, um, then to, to take a
long winded approach like she did.
The
best answer for her is to just be like, yeah, I love Thanksgiving.
Walk 1.0 was crazy.
I love Thanksgiving.
I'm a chef and I'm not going to cancel Thanksgiving.
Tom Tiffany on the other hand, and the Trump administration is literally canceling Thanksgiving
because the prices are out of control.
What is this?
Your own Democratic Party is not supporting you in the current that you have to fight against
to win a Senate or Governor seat is unimaginable.
Your own party is not owning your position to maintain status quo, party elite structure,
and Republicans are preying on that division and hoping on it,
or preying on it to get more out of hand before midterms so they can cash in on that.
exactly what's going on that's why I said don't fall into this fucking trap do not
fall into this fucking trap
do more woe jag is correct the republicans are preying on the liberal
democrats caring more about defending their comfortable seats and their
comfortable positions in the seat of power in the center of the party, then defeating
the Republicans, and some of them might actually do it.
Some of them might actually fucking attack as Nier-Atendon continues to do so.
Mark Polkans' opinion is the right one, is the correct one, telling Nier-Atendon to shut
the fuck up and just focus on other races, please.
We saw in that original clip, we showed she was there with every socialist favorite Sherpa Hassan Piker.
Hong is expected like Abdul El Sayed to win by huge margins.
But as we saw, Abdul El Sayed did not win by huge margins.
Do you expect the same for Hong? Sort of the big hype and then pretty tight race.
Well, Republicans and independents, conservatives of all stripes can't take this race for granted.
It's likely that she's going to win, but of course, like we've seen that these polling
has come a lot increasingly closer.
One thing that's interesting as polling has shown for Hong, that younger voters really
support her, but it drops off over age.
So it's going to be about-
No, it doesn't.
It's literally even 65 plus is tied.
The turnout on next Tuesday, are younger voters the ones who support her?
Are they going to turn out in a primary election when typically it's older voters who are
the ones who are, you know, higher-pupensity voting. So, she will still likely win, but you know,
Republicans can't just pat her on the head and say you have crazy views and just assume that
she's going to take the cake here. Yeah, I think that's an important warning for Republicans.
Just saying, socialist communism doesn't mean you get the votes come November when you actually
need them. One thing that I think is her most controversial take is what her take is on
Thanksgiving. You can't talk Kong without talking turkey. Watch this flip-flop on turkey day.
Thanksgiving is also a time that's incredibly painful for me.
Like this stuff, this stuff is not making or breaking anyway. And you have to remember,
you have to remember something. Again, one, Trump is president. Two, cost of living crisis is
getting worse and worse every single day. These guys are silly. But if our side doesn't have
tangible policies that we run on, then that silliness will take over the race as it has done
in the past. We must define ourselves before we allow our opposition to define us. And we must
define ourselves by our policies. And Francesca has done a great job doing that so far,
which is part of the reason why I don't think these sorts of media hits are going to actually
fucking work. Okay. That's it. This is woke 1.0. I mean, she is a little bit woke 1.0
in some respects, but it doesn't matter. My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. You can't
make that up. To be clear, election day is November 3rd. Not talking primary. I'm fast
forwarding is I don't get it she's trolling like God they're doing that to
her what they do to me all the fucking time Jesus Christ I hate this shit so
much these guys are so nasty they're such nasty little freaks I hate it I'm
not gonna sit here and be like oh you can't joke I think she's fine if all
they got is Thanksgiving then that's phenomenal you know it's phenomenal for
us but you know getting control over your messaging is definitely very very
important okay getting control over your messaging is very very very important
and a big part of that is to a big part of that happens when you have well
this line of attack actually works fuck no what are you talking about dude
Why would it work? You think one of our policy planks is to cancel Thanksgiving, to make it illegal, going door-to-door?
It's ridiculous.
Now, I'll give you a message that actually is toxic, actually poisonous, actually is a
million times worse than running on the Thanksgiving cancellation platform.
I present to you David Crowley, who dropped out at 6%, consolidating support behind Sara
Rodriguez who then had the dropout because her campaign exploded.
Now David Crowley's back in the race, outbound governor Tony Evers is showing support to David
Crowley, but David Crowley has set up a bunch of insane things.
This is one of them.
I would argue we have to listen to independents and Republicans because we don't have a monopoly
on good ideas.
I would argue we have to listen to it.
Yes, we do.
You don't.
We do.
I said, this is far worse than a million Thanksgiving tweets, like, who, what is a good idea from
a Republican that you can take on?
Can you please explain that to me?
What is the good Republican idea?
He is so funny, because he's such a classic establishment suit, just that empty establishment
Which, by the way, ironically, he has said, is a slur, okay, which is another insane thing
that he said, okay?
He said his race is to call him establishment.
But that is such a classic establishment suit take where you're just like bipartisanship
for the sake of bipartisanship.
Everybody's got good ideas.
Like you only do that.
You only say that when you are utterly devoid of any kind of ideas, okay?
Like, this is old school, liberal, democratic party messaging, where like, we gotta find
bipartisanship.
We are in 2026.
It's done.
There is no fucking bipartisanship.
Wake up.
And there is no appetite for this vague gesture towards good ideas coming from the Republicans
in your base.
was so ever. It is no longer 1994. We're done. We are living in Trump's America. The fuck
do you mean? We got to find bipartisanship. That ship sailed a long time ago.
What could possibly be a good idea that we could pick up from Tom Tiffany?
That the election was stolen?
Is that one of the good ideas?
Like, there's none.
I don't even think half of the liberals have good ideas.
The Republican policy platform is literally constantly changing, okay?
It's constantly changing.
Why is it constantly changing?
Because it is at the mercy of Donald Trump.
So one week, the Republican policy platform is whatever Donald Trump is feeling that day.
The next week is whatever Donald Trump is feeling that way.
Last week it was med beds.
What do you think?
Why do you think this is going to be a good message anyway to win even the fucking, the
Democratic primary just doesn't make any sense?
Then he did this.
It's time for us to revisit our tax structure.
But you know, it's about bringing people to the table.
We have to look at this system holistically and not just saying tax the rich.
And the reason why I say that is tax because you don't want to win elections.
That's the reason why you say that.
I mean, dude, I'd much prefer a guy like this running against candidates that I like.
A guy who's just like so oblivious to the things that are going on in the ground.
a guy who is
so out of step with the needs of the base and the demands of the base it's
awesome
super out of touch i love it
it's going to give us everything that we need are there other revenue
opportunities outside of the income tax that we should be looking at to make
sure the resources are available
do you worry that a higher tax rate on wealthy wisconsin i it's could cause
them to potentially
move to another state where the tax rate is lower than or I think that's always a possibility.
Bro, Francesca, you can go on Caitlyn Collins and be like, I am making Halloween illegal. Okay.
Francesca should go on Caitlyn Collins and do a victory lap and just flex. This is
is poison. Okay. This is electoral poison. This is just a poisonous idea. Anyway, Francesca
Hong could go on Caitlyn Collins' show and be like, I will literally arrest children
for doing trick or treating. And it would not be as bad as this fucking take. I'm
obviously exaggerating. I hope she doesn't do that. I hope that's not a policy position
that she has. But like, come on, man. Come on, man. Here's another one. Here's another
one. We are not just got back from the Centres rally. Amazing turnout. Thousands of people
holding hands enchanting better things aren't possible. Here it is again. Let's see another
one. Let's see another one. This campaign on slogans. We are leading with leadership,
executive leadership and being honest to the public about what we can and cannot do.
We are not running this campaign. You say that as though you don't know Fran is anti-Halloween
unironically. I know. I know she is. I don't know why. I just, I don't understand it, but it's
fine. She's, she's anti, she's anti-Halloween. Here's a way to, here's a way to fix that,
by the way. She could just be like, look, I'm your governor. I'm going to work through
every goddamn holiday so you can have a great holiday. You know what I mean? It's not for me.
It's for you. I respect it.
Maybe that's why.
Pain on slogans. We are leading with leadership, executive leadership, and being honest to the
public about what we can and cannot do. We are not running this campaign on slogans. We are
leading with leadership, executive leadership, and being honest to the public about what we
can and cannot do. It's beautiful. Thank you. We just simply can't do things.
Here's another one. Francesca Long's opponent, David Crowley says of data centers that we have
to look at the possible opportunity of getting us a piece of it. When it comes down to the growth,
we also have to understand that like tech is here and that is the opportunity that we
have to take advantage of and why we have to make sure that we put guard rows in place,
protecting ourselves from these data centers when it comes down to our environment, when it comes
down to our energy. I'll also look at the possible opportunity of us getting a piece of it when it
comes. Now, here's the thing. mainstream media will never run these quotes because mainstream
media agrees with David Crowley's position. So mainstream media will of course run the quotes
of Francesca Hong being like, oh, I think the Halloween a shit or I hate every holiday that
anyone has ever experienced like they'll run those clothes nonstop. But this is what is actually
electoral poison. He said, we're leading with leadership, man. And then he said, we got a piece
of, we got to get a piece of those data centers. He said,
I think Crowley, the reason why, what is this?
Levicular was here in EE after you shit on us so much, have link.
You were shitting so much on Estonia that Levicular was in EE Estonia.
dimension
Okay, great man. I don't think he went to Estonia because I've been joking about Estonia, plus I would never shit on Estonia
Estonia comes to me in my dreams chatter. No, we're not doing it get a phone call Wednesday night. They said we'll just sleep
Yeah, and so actually, you know, you know me and my wife prayed and my wife
She said, you know during the prayer. She said God, I don't like subtle tea
So make it very obvious and she actually acts to see like red burden like was very specific, right?
And so, you know Thursday come around and we're still getting phone calls and now my wife is actually answering my phone and saying
We're done. We're not doing this. Okay, because if she's not there, I am absolutely not yeah
We know how that works, you know
And so Friday, you know, but Thursday I was I was uneasy I didn't go to bed until like three o'clock Friday morning
And so I go to bed Friday morning comes my wife goes to work take the girls to day camp and everything
And I'm getting all these phone calls
but I am knocked out sleep, you know, because I had a had a late night. And so my wife is
you Milwaukee County executives could just sleep in on a Friday. That's the first time
I slept in a long time. I will tell you that. But my wife is she does outreach. She actually
works for organization called Community Advocates helping people find rapid rehousing, find
homes, working with the homelessness. And so she was actually setting up her outreach
table. And as he's setting up her outreach table, what does she see? She sees the
red bird that she had prayed is not even thinking about it. Not even two minutes later, she gets
a phone call that is informing her about the lieutenant governor dropping out.
I mean, that one is whatever. I don't really give a shit about it that much.
But the other ones are fucking irredeemable. Okay.
Okay.
Assuming she wins next week.
Election Day is November 3rd.
Thanksgiving is November 26th.
I'm thinking she goes back to hating Thanksgiving immediately after the votes are counted.
Your thoughts?
Yeah, Todd, it's incredible.
The fact that the...
Wait, what?
Asked about a support from some conservatives.
David Crowley replies, there's a lot of people who always say, well, we have to
fight back.
But it's like, okay, they also represent a different community in the state of
Wisconsin.
these pendulum swings so far. Wait, what? He said he doesn't want to fucking fight back
against the Republican. What the fuck is this guy saying, bro? I've had strong conservatives
in the state say David Crawley is an example, kind of executive who does work across aisles.
Is that your separator? I think it does separate me from everybody else. You know,
And I think that there's a lot of people who, oh, so we.
Bro said fighting is not possible.
Republicans have good ideas.
We shouldn't fight back against the Republicans.
Why is he running on the Democratic ticket?
What the fuck?
Bro's just a Republican.
What is this?
You have to fight back.
It's like, okay, they also represent a different community in the state of Wisconsin, right?
We may have 72 counties.
may have 99 assembly districts 33 Senate district, but we're still one
Wisconsin. And so let's figure out how we can create that balance
because I think right, bro, what is happening? Bro, bro. Are
these what is this how? What is this talent pool? Oh my god. Oh
my god. Every time I hear David Crowley speak. I understand
Why French has guys like 20 plus 30 plus points?
Bro, if this is the option for Wisconsin Democrats, there is.
There's nothing like that.
It's not even a question.
Like, what are you talking about?
This guy is too woke.
Yeah, I feel like he just spun that around.
He just looped back around to being like far far too open-minded to the Republicans like what the fuck
Now we're displaced where the pendulum is always want to swing
But but at what point do these pendulum swing so much to the far left and the far right to where we can't create instability
That's that's what I'm afraid of I've had
strong conservatives in the state say David Crawley is an example, kind of executive who does work across aisles. Is that your separator?
My man, David has moved on the woke 3.0.
The Pajon practically endorses guy on the Friday show, by the way.
way. Yes. Because here's the, here's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. The Pajas
are also still very like optics focused. They're not ideologically socialist people, right? They're
just more open minded to socialists and their left flank, like winning races and maybe switching
it up a little bit, you know, changing the game up a little bit.
That's it. That's the, that's the reason why they like these guys and I like them. I like
the pod John's. I talk to them all the time. I have no problem with them. But if you don't
have a firm commitment to a movement, okay, if you don't have a firm commitment to a movement,
things like that are going to shake your confidence in a candidate because these guys
only care about winning elections, right? And we care about winning elections too,
but we care about something beyond winning elections as well. We care about an agenda
and delivering on an agenda. I think that's the real difference between a lot of establishment
Democrats and even people like the Pajans who are liberal, but also agnostic to their left
flank who are not antagonistic to their left flank because the reason why they love
Abdullah say it because the podcast love of the Abdullah said they do they've been
there from day one Abdul literally worked under the pod save America podcasting
network so I will give them a lot of credit always they've been there frame
one day one okay they were big Abdul boosters from the start but Abdul's
not a socialist, that's not the, that doesn't matter. Because they love Zoran. They fucking
love Zoran. Okay. So here's the thing. Here's the thing. I think the reason why they love
Abdul, but are, you know, worried about Francesca is because they care a lot about, they care
almost entirely about like winning elections and defeating Republicans, which is fine.
care about that too, but they don't have any, like, additional, many of them don't have any
additional interest in, like, following this agenda of Medicare for all and stuff like that.
They're not antagonistic to it, which is why I respect them.
But if your goal is simply to defeat Republicans, you're going to fall victim to the optics
arguments all the time. And I think that stunts your analysis a little bit, even when
the information, the empirical evidence that you can receive out of Wisconsin is showing
you that your worldview is completely wrong. Because like, look, here's the reality. If
If I have a candidate that I favor, if I have a candidate that I favor that I'm really in
the tank for, okay?
And the polls show that that candidate is like, you know, unfortunately 30 points behind,
okay?
I have to really reconsider like what is going on there, right?
Shroycott Chakrabarty is a great example, as he wasn't like 30 points behind, but he
couldn't win.
I have to look at what the voters' demands are.
The voters oppose Shroycott.
Part of that is because Shroycott didn't have, and I've said this from the start,
right?
Like, I was very open about his chances.
The reason why I was concerned about Shroycott and very open about his chances because
he's a centimillionaire.
He was seen as a part of the techno-fascists that the left opposed unconditionally.
And not only that, but also, Shoeikot was not trusted by the institutional left in San
Francisco.
That's precisely the reason why, as I told you, they went and they chose Connie Chen
to run as the institutional left's candidate of choice.
it failed. It failed. He didn't receive any of the big national endorsements, and unfortunately
he failed. Now, if he was running currently with all of the other exciting candidates that
he had endorsed that had come and, you know, stumped for him and rallied for him, maybe
we'd be in a very different media environment. Who knows? But, but the reality of the matter
is. I understood why people were opposing him. It wasn't just, you know, I wasn't just delivering
an optics argument, you know what I'm saying? Like I was aware of what his chances look like.
So,
I think it's more accurate that the left didn't choose anyone. Nobody got indoors
saw it, you're wrong. You're just talking about DSA. DSA didn't endorse anybody, but DSA members
were definitely out canvassing for Connie. Anyway, I don't want to even get back into San Francisco.
San Francisco is unfortunately, as the stands currently busted beyond repair, it's just
the techno fascists own the city completely.
Media, they're kind of bubble wrapping these questions
to allow her to kind of do a do over.
Maybe she has a better answer
for a general election audience,
but even still, she looks so uncomfortable.
she looks like she's in a hostage video.
And Ty, what's even more important
that your viewers need to know about Thanksgiving
in Wisconsin is that this is also the time for deer hunting.
So this is when hundreds of thousands of deer hunters
take their blaze orange, they go out,
they plan their whole Thanksgiving holiday
around the opportunity to deer hunt.
So this is not just about her wanting to dismantle
a single day or she's uncomfortable
with a lot of family around.
It's much broader than that.
This is about dismantling important days
to us as a state, but also to us as a country.
And as we get closer to election day,
this is really important Todd,
because in 2024, Wisconsin,
they turned out at the highest rate
at least of this century, 76.6% of voters,
eligible voters turned out to vote.
And when the chips were on the table,
President Trump.
Dog, what the fuck?
Well, how is this your takeaway?
As far as I understand,
Francesca Hong has no statements about deer hunting.
Okay, I do not know where that came from.
I don't know why he just like slapped that
onto the combo for no reason.
Where did that come from?
Is she anti-deer hunting too?
As a Minnesota, this was very insightful. I found out the gun season for deer is 1.5 weeks in Wisconsin. It's like three here
Delivered just like you did in every swing state. However, what that should tell everybody is that Democrats, they're going to show up right now. They are more jazzed. They are more energized to go out to vote.
go out to vote. So even if she has these crazy views and, you know, untenable towards
any general election audience, Democrats are still going to show up. So the job is on
Tom Tiffany and Republicans, Trump voters of all sorts to actually get out and vote.
Turn out, turn out, turn out. One thing that happened in 2024 is, oh, he's saying
by proxy of her wanting to stop Thanksgiving, she could ruin deer hunting because those
guys won't get time off the hunt deer.
That is fucking hilarious dude, like, Francesca Hong is running on a platform of cancelling
Thanksgiving and therefore deer hunting is awesome.
People did turn out for Trump and he faced Kamala Harris, but a new Washington Post op
is declaring this is Kamala Harris' moment, arguing American needs the former vice president
now more than ever. But how they get there is pretty interesting. Quote, this is from
this article. Harris' empty platitudes can be enjoyed by all, so vacuous that they can
be savored with no danger of compromising one's political leanings. If you support Medicare
for all or a private insurance model, Harris does too. If you want to frack baby frack
or push through the Green New Deal, Harris does too.
No need to compromise your beliefs,
Harris does it for you.
I mean, look, that's a pretty spot on recitation
of her flip-flopping,
but what about the overall takeaway?
Is this her moment?
Well, it's truly wonderful.
The fact that the argument is basically,
her word salad is so just off the rails
that you can't actually understand
what she's saying or what she believes in.
I think Republicans would be really pining
for her to run again.
the fact that she went through such a bruising primary and had came out with all these crazy
views much in the lines of Francesca Hong, except on a national level, but also the fact
that Kamel Harris, she believes that the only reason that she lost is because she only outed
107 days.
It's the title of her book.
So it's not about her, it's about the time that she had.
Her big problem though, Todd, is that it's not about mechanics of her campaign, it's
not about the duration of the campaign election season.
It's her as a candidate.
between her policy positions, her inability to communicate,
this stems as her as a candidate.
If she decides to win, I think a lot of people
will applaud that because it'll offer Republicans
the best chance to win in 2028.
Covering USAID 2026, Governor Evers rips
into the Democratic front runner
and the primary to replace him.
Yeah, primary, it is just five days away now,
things are really heating up.
Jason Calvi joining us in the newsroom.
Yeah, yeah.
the latest on these big races.
Ben Kim, yeah, this is a really a national test.
The question, can a democratic socialist
win in a battleground state?
Francesca Hong, a democratic socialist,
is leading the polls.
Even an internal poll from the David Crowley campaign
this week shows Hong up by 18 points.
This week, Hong had to respond to ex-posts from 2020
about canceling Thanksgiving.
In a CNN interview, she didn't clearly
retract her past post.
Then later this week, she told Politico, in fact,
Thanksgiving is her favorite holiday.
There were also old tweets I asked her about,
about defunding the police.
Now she says she would not sign a bill to do that.
Governor Tony Evers today at the State Fair says,
he's not sure Hong can beat Republican Tom Tiffany.
She's at a tough point.
She has spent her entire campaign dealing with,
not with the insurers, but,
What?
What's on the Twitter.
What?
Bro, that's literally the opposite. Up until this past week.
Up until this past week, there was no, like, Thanksgiving gate or anything like that.
Also, oh my god, Tony Evers is so old, holy shit.
I just like that. That's not a good way to be Tom Tiffany.
And if you start that way, no wonder he's done, you know?
you know.
You spend your whole time doing that,
instead of having somebody like the Hong Executive here
talking about the issues.
Now, as true Hong has talked about the issues,
including her plan for a moratorium on new data
centers in Wisconsin, we did ask the Hong campaign
to respond to the governor.
And I haven't yet heard back.
Evers has back Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley.
The Crowley campaign says this race is much closer
than these polls are suggesting.
It points to Michigan, where the primary results this week
were much closer than the polls showed, Ben.
I don't think anyone's taking anything for granted.
This race is really unpredictable.
RIGs and banks.
There is this age-old theory that,
in light of how much of a swing state,
a place like Wisconsin, is that Democrats
have to run a so-called moderate, a generic Democrat,
which you very much are not,
in order to have a chance to win the governor's race.
you running a populist campaign, what's your response to that?
These are dangerous times.
We have fascism growing and economic uncertainty
coupled with the growth of AI.
We have trillionaires now.
The most dangerous thing we could do
is do more of the same.
We have people right now who are right for-
She's always mogging.
It's pretty cool.

Who gives a fuck
David Sarota looks like Adam Friedland went to the beach that makes you old is so funny.
We're angry and frustrated in feeling that and recognizing that a system is very rigged
against us and we would be grossly out of touch and irresponsible to not grow a coalition
of voters of supporters who are going to continue to vote for Democrats because we've
done the bold and courageous thing of actually standing up for working-class people.
I think that we are showing through our campaign that is multi-generational, that has broad
support from Gen Z and younger voters who are tired, not just of the status quo, but
of a two-party system altogether.
Yet we are bringing them in, and I'm running, yes, as a Democratic Socialist on the Democratic
ticket as a Democrat, that we're building the big coalition and the big tent party that
we say we are.
But just to challenge you a little bit, the fascism question, like I always hear that
whipped around as like, okay, yes, you're right, like the stakes are so big now.
The Republicans are authoritarians, they're so dangerous, we're moving into such dangerous
times that the only thing we should be thinking about is this notion of electability.
this theory, past electability is prelude. Like we know how we ran in the past. We've
run these kinds of campaigns in the past that are very different from your campaign. And
what's dangerous is to run a very different campaign. And we should run the same campaigns
that we've run in the past that have at times, eaked out victories. By the way,
this is the same argument that's happening nearby in Michigan, right, against Abdul
A Democratic senator in Michigan in the last election ran as a very corporate-friendly,
quote-unquote, moderate Democrat, and eaked out a win.
And I asked Abdul-El-Sayed, hey, listen, what about the argument he's just, you know,
instead of that Michigan is most easily won in that Senate race by just running that back?
And so what about the idea that your kind of politics are a threat to the kind of
electability that's necessary to win the general election?
The most electable person is the person who wins the most votes.
And we have been winning since we started this campaign in the polls, in growing numbers of supporters.
I think that what is dangerous is to miscalculate where voters are at right now.
Who is in touch with the voters and what are they saying?
and who was vocal about it, who was willing to fight to elect their candidate.
And our fighters, our supporters, are people who haven't engaged in politics before.
We fought the disillusionment and apathy that the Dems keep losing to,
and not being able to grow a broader coalition.
There hasn't-

I wonder if I wonder how David David probably did not like this.
Did you see Chris Hedges got a shout out in the strokes album?
Is the song Fantana got this down?
Wait, really?
is so funny that fucking, what's his name? Julian Cosmologous hates Anthony Fantano,
but also is a Chris Hayes head. That is pretty hilarious.
Oh, it's not a shout out. He disses. He disses Chris Hedges, too.
Wait, what?
No, no shot.
Also, is it Chris Hedges or Chris Hayes?
I
Wait, he where what's the line?
Second chorus. What time? What's the time code? I love the show. I used to listen to
the shows like crazy when I was in fucking high school. You literally don't know how to
listen to music, man. I mean, I grew up with the strokes, man. Fuck you mean.
is it? Oh my God. Amongst this verse of criticism towards modern media, Julian Cosablogos directly
refers to American journalists and socials nigger Chris Hedges. Julian interviewed Hedges
as a part of his SOS Earth is a mass series for Rolling Stone in 2020. Oh, oh, he's
shitting on, he's shitting on the rest of the media and saying, I hope that they're
like Chris Hedges instead, which okay, that's goaded. Where's the Anthony Fantano line?
Oh, I heard that 20 years ago, 20 fucking years ago, I did Fantano word for word. When
I was a kid stick the technical cause that's great, but you would not recognize art in
any age. No! Oh my God! He cooked Fantano! Got him. I know the drama. It's because Fantano
was like a big fan of the Shroks and still is. But he was like confused about why he
use AI art, right?
Hi, everyone. Bigfony named Tano here, the internet's busiest music nerd. And yeah, we
got to talk about this. I have once again been immortalized against my will in the lyrics
of the brand new Strokes album, Reality awaits on the track specifically Lonely in the Future.
Now I want to let it be known before I say what I'm going to say here.
I have not heard this song yet.
I have not heard the Strokes album outside of the singles.
I don't need to because this video is not a review of the song or me assessing the
quality of this record and its music in any way.
This is more me talking about the lyric where I come up, which is posted on platforms
like Genius and the mention of me is actually confirmed by Rolling Stone and their
coverage of this record too.
It is real, it is a thing. So let's start getting into this by reading the lyric itself. Julian says,
I heard that 20 effing years ago, I did. Fantana, word for word, when I was a kid,
stick to the technical, because that's great, but you would not recognize art in any age.
Okay, so essentially Julian's insult or assessment of me is that I lack the ability to
Hey, not so great when the shoes on the other foot is it critic boy?
Hmm
When the artist turns into the critic against the music critic
All of a sudden shoes on the other foot
up.
Recognize art and describing art only in sort of like a technical fashion is the only thing
I'm really good for as a critic and commentator.
Now for greater context here, just in case you are not really in the know, these sentiments
and opinions, Julian has more or less expressed before, not too long ago on a recent podcast
toasted by none other than Joe Talbot of Idle's fame,
where again, he said exactly that Austin,
I'm sure will present the clip here.
And for me, from Thomas.
Oh my God, there you are.
How do I walk?
Are you being protective of your brother?
Oh hell no, he's not my fucking brother.
He should stick to, you know what he should stick to?
He should stick to like analysis
when he's like methodically
and scientifically describing things.
He does a good job of like, he used the studio and did this.
And so he's good at that.
When it comes to like art tastes, he's like trash
and knows nothing.
I wouldn't know.
And he like reviews old albums to sound like he knows
what he's talking about, which is like, wow,
or like, yeah, like review an old Lou Reed record
and say it's cool.
That'll give you credit.
And look, at the time I addressed Julian saying this
on this YouTube channel and being offhandedly mentioned
by somebody in a long podcast interview is whatever it happens.
But literally being mentioned by name on your new album, which is.
Isn't this the guy that wants you off the Democratic party?
Yes, this is James Carville, Internet's busiest music nerd.
Yes.
Yes, James Carville contains multitudes.
Why are you guys laughing? It's literally James Carville.
Being printed physically to CD and vinyl and being released into the world and people are
going to pay money for this media and stream it on Spotify and Apple Music and so on and
so forth, that's a little bit different. Now, of course, this is not the first time
I have been mentioned on an artist's song. It has happened in the past.
Yeah, James Carville is a, this is James Carville when he got rehydrated, okay?
Like a raisin.
When he was on CNN the other day he was dried down.
They let him out.
They left him out in the sun for too long.
This is him rehydrated.
They put him back on creatine and hydrated the fuck out of him and this is what he
looks like normally.
be it on records from Brock Hampton or even Post Malone who had a funny moment mentioning my name
at the end of Beerbongs and Bentley's. But this is quite a bit different, not even funny or silly
or tongue-in-cheek in any way whatsoever. Really just a bitter diss. And one that I find very
funny because it's one of the few beefs I have going on in the music industry, though I really
don't. This is not a beef if anything it's one sided at best. It's so funny that Julian
has mentioned me in numerous contexts on social media and in conversation in a public fashion,
but almost every time. Okay, you know what's crazy about this? This is literally like
me getting dissed by a political figure.
Because it's like it's not supposed to happen. You're breaking the fourth wall.
You know what I mean?
Now I like Julian
And I grew up listening to the strokes and i'm certain that fantano probably back in the day
Uh was was probably a fan as well. I I suspect they're all the records that he's a
I suspect that he is uh, yeah the Halsey thing was crazy actually. Oh my god
The Halsey one was actually insane. There was like a little bit of woke 1.0 in there too.
So many in his audience kind of come away from scratching their heads because they can so plainly
see that like I am a fan of the strokes. I am a fan of Julian's work. The strokes are easily one
of my favorite bands of the 2000s and anytime I have been critical of Julian's or the strokes
work. It's come from the place of a fan quite clearly. Like I'm not out here to actively bully
Julian and the band, if anything, I would say I'm a little bit of an apologist, especially given a
lot of the glowing coverage I've given to the Voids over the years too. That is except for the
latest Voids album, which I've said before, and I will say it again. I feel like is kind of
the crux of, you know, Julian's issue with me. Not only was I quite harsh on the music on that
record because, I don't know, to my ears it felt very low quality and demo quality compared to
everything the voids had done up until that point. But I was one among many who was also kind of
disappointed to find that the cover art for that album, I guess had been AI generated.
like very ironic to be making the claim that I can't recognize art when I see it. When you clearly
think nothing of presenting your music with AI art, it's a silly and confusing situation for sure.
And part of my reason for wanting to make this video is to come on here and communicate you guys
that this is all as weird to me as it is to you. And despite this kind of pithy comment
and mention my hope is to go into this new Strokes album with an open mind.
I think there's something really funny about this community
in my personal relationship with Anthony Fantano, that he is Mr. Music and I am Mr. Anti-Music
and yet we are friends. That's hilarious altogether, but it's also very funny
that like any time
any time he reviews the album
or has anything to say about any artist
oh my god this community that coalesces around
an objectively anti music guy loses their fucking minds
by his take
on AI art I agree with unconditionally
Okay, but because there are so many dick eaters of artists no matter what happens.
There are always motherfuckers in here who go, dude, no, I fucking hate him for this
one.
Oh, his, his critique that the latest voids album was like low quality is such vapid
critique.
He's your friend, so you aren't unbiased about him?
No, the only reason why I'm not biased about him is because I don't listen to music.
it so he can never hit me in my soul because music is so like music music brings out this this thing
there's feeling in people where you have you feel a sense of closeness in ways that that you can't
with any other form of art almost so when you feel a sense of closeness to a particular artist
because of your personal opinion about that artist, about the art and how it
touched you, when a music critic delivers a scathing review to an artist that you
love, an artist that you admire, an album that you actually really appreciated,
people lose their chill.
And then with hopes to enjoy it, even though I haven't really liked the teasers due to
their overuse of autotune, which again is a feeling and a perspective that has been shared
by a lot of Strokes fans, given Julian singling out of me, I do think it is important to
remind people that it's not like my opinions on the Strokes up into this point have
been so far and away outside of the norm among their fan base.
The last thing I would like to say though is I know in the past
people have been angry at me or have been upset at me when I
have stood 10 toes down for my reviews for my content for the
legacy I built up until this point having done this for 20
years now because the needle drop started as a podcast back
in 2007 because of all that time put in all that effort put
all of the growth that I've seen since those early days of the Needledrop brand.
Yeah, it's upsetting and personally disheartening to me when I am confronted with these frankly
bunk assessments of me and what I do. And I'm sorry, but in this case, while everyone is free
to disagree with my opinions and think I'm wrong or that I am, you know, completely clueless
when it comes to certain records or certain genres. The claim that I completely lack the
ability to assess or recognize art is just patently untrue, especially from somebody
of Julian's position. Because what was I doing with every positive review I've given
to you or the Strokes over the years? What was I doing when I was giving bands like Geese
positive coverage long before most people even knew about them? Before even Julian
knew about them?
Now we know where Geese came from. It was boughted. It was Anthony Botchano that boughted Geese.
Now we know, which also has a very, strangely enough, very weird magazine about communism.
I don't even understand what they were doing over there. And they decided, they just
wanted to be a, you know, multi-media, I guess, multi-platform media.
Yeah. Classic Geese Psyop. It's also a commie Psyop.
I presume because I had reviewed them years before he decided to post them up
on Instagram.
And even in the case of the podcast of the man that he appeared on,
Joe, from Idols, my reviews covering their work are some of the most
popular videos about the band when it comes to any sort of commentary on the
YouTube platform
on the internet. I was going pretty hard for idols much
earlier than a lot of people were back when they dropped their brutalism album
and it's been really cool to watch the band
grow and evolve since then. Of course this is not me coming on to say like
I made these artists popular and they owe their success to me. That's not my
argument.
Here's my argument. I have a history of being an early adopter
of a lot of different musical movements
and a lot of artists who have gone on
to do really cool and great things.
Artists who have gone on to be widely admired
by other artists in their respective genres and scenes.
I loved these artists and their work
and supported various album cycles from them,
not because anybody told me to like them
or anybody explained to me behind the scenes
that they were really cool and helped me get it.
I heard their music.
I saw what they were doing from a distance
and I made that assessment on my own.
I've been doing it for over 10 years.
He's just defending his credentials.
This streamer, I don't care about why is he relevant.
He's my friend and he's getting attacked by another artist that I grew up listening to.
I'm supporting I'm supporting melon in this, but I also do like
I do like the strokes as well. So I'm actually a little bit conflicted
Um, so I hope that we can, um, we can merge these two forces together and invent woke
Bantano interviewed Rodrigo Olivia Rodrigo another Hassan Abbeyhead. Yeah
Is he actually your mate? Anthony Fantano? Yes. Yes, we've even worked out together.
He's he's he's visited LA. I almost brought him to one of my events, but he had something
going on. How do we know she's awesome? I've been head. Um, she used to follow me back
in the day on all the social media platforms. She's following all the social media platforms
and she, they're still like old Instagram
posted she like way back and way back when
she used to, yeah, I say used to because she deleted all of her followers
she did the mass on following
Yep, dog shark lever smash, no that's not true, why are you guys fucking making shit
up?
No, this was many many years prior many many years prior to this one
Shatters are so funny
They like invent they hallucinate battles in their minds and get mad all the same
I'm eating teriyaki chicken and rice
Yeah, very different time will in a bet this person was a big fan back then probably hates
me now. Not Olivia Rodrigo, I mean like, dude, you know, it's really funny. Like so many,
so many people have gone through the motions of being a fan, maybe even having like, maybe
even like having my commentary play a formative role in their like development.
past the point decide that they're far more radical to me decide that I'm a
sheepdog for the Democratic Party come back come back to the community later
and it's really funny cuz like I'm jealous get around here and Olivia
Rodrigo in this day and age is not coming anywhere near me publicly don't
be fucking ridiculous she's literally a media he's literally a media behemoth
Her, she probably has a team of like 500 people.
They would assassinate me with a drone strike before letting her come on the stream.
We're talking about a person who is a, we're talking about a person who is like worth
as a media product, maybe like hundreds of millions of dollars, like they're, and their
their ceiling is even larger than that. And the industry, like the company that basically
controls are, is worth billions. So there's no shot that that's going to have it. You're
out of your day mind.
But also, what was I going to say?
Oh, one thing that I wanted to mention is like, a lot of people don't realize that,
A lot of people don't fucking realize that when you are the most like prominent socialist
figure in American media for almost a decade at this point, everyone is going to want to
kill you.
Everyone is going to find the things that they hate about your commentary, especially
when your commentary is not only pro-socialist but also anti-imperialist and the thing that
most people don't get about that is like I see a lot of like younger content creators
who will lean into some of these like attacks and they'll say like oh Asan doesn't do anything
he just sits around in his fucking house and doesn't do anything he's selfish he's a
sheepdog for the democrats all this stuff and it's very funny because it's like
One day, InshaAllah, you will also grow, okay, and you will get to a point where you won't
just have, you know, fans, but you will also have enemies, and then you will know.
I hope when you get there, they don't also attack you in the same vicious ways that
they've attacked me and hopefully your fans, even if you do get attacked that way,
hopefully your fans will be a little bit more understanding.
But I guess that's the price of getting old. You start thinking like that.
In a campaign like ours or a candidate like me before, but the voters that are
supporting us are the voters that haven't voted for Democrats
before. These are voters who have voted for Trump in the past.
In a time where no other Democrat, I think has, last I
checked, been able to raise the money that Tiffany did. We
gotten the seven figure checks from three different
billionaires who are backing his campaign. Were the campaign
who was bringing the reinforcements and the
organizing infrastructure to actually organize to win and
not just win in August and November,
but to keep netting win for Democrats,
to move an agenda that will deliver
for working class people,
change the material conditions of their lives.
And when folks see that when Dems are in power
and things are getting a little bit better,
they're likely gonna keep voting for us.
And the folks who are learning from our Dem volunteers
who have been with the county parties
for years and years knocking doors
and building relationships,
we're bringing the next generation of voters
and volunteers and organizers,
we're gonna keep building onto that power.
We're the campaign who's talking about
not just winning, but building power
to make sure that working class people
have not only what they need,
but Wisconsin can be a place
that's actually affordable for everyone.
This is the year of the many and not just the money.
And we're bringing the money and the many now.
That's what God is here.
So this is the bed the Dems made and it's full of mindless
Narcissist bread and a terrarium of victimhood who really realized that being a loser is winning
If you say it's the white man's fault
But the bed was made of cowardice for the Dems refused to draw a line in the sand against American hating interlopers and even adopting
What?

Butfeld
Hey guys guys put some respect on it. This is the
of the most popular name in late night comedy, okay?
Their divisive incendiary rhetoric,
turning every institution from churches to museums
to borders into a means to achieve power,
which now leaves the party dependent on the very faction
that it wants to contain.
Spoiler alert, they can't.
By courting the abolishized trans mafia
and police defunding crowd, they created a vacuum
that this more extreme faction full of energy
and moral certainty now occupy.
And like all vacuums, it sucks harder than Supergirl.
And fearing the loss of rich, progressive donors,
the Dems lack the balls to reject
the Marxist unhinged goals,
which is why they'll jump into bed with anyone
from Nazis to Ilan Omar's brother.
The DSA now have cultural youthful leverage.
and all the old guard has is lizards,
vampires,
and Andre the Giant.
To break free from this extremism, the Dems would have to publicly disagree with
them on the border, trans and crime, but their fear makes it impossible.
Because instead of seeing the DSA as a rival ideology, they treated it like a
protege,
and now they're screwed like a home invader at Grand...
it's so strange because it's like
dog
this is what the voters want you just meant that the voters want some
different than you
and you're also
finally recognizing that the establishment
the centrist democrats
we're actually advocating for things not that
dissimilar from what you're advocating for but it took the ds a success for
you to come to that recognition
it's so funny
they literally they said every democrat as a communist and then i guess some
democrats were like honestly we are
and then they started electing socialist and now it's like hold on
where's the old democratic party
plattner's house
which is why the rest of us must walk away from this car crash
Mainly because it's not up to us to debate socialism.
We know what it is.
History tells us millions die through starvation and murder.
Also, it's just too easy for us.
If you want to destroy a socialist,
simply ask one question.
What's the downside to your demands?
They never give you one.
And that instantly removes them from the world of reality,
where every single action has a trade-off.
Socialists are like an expert
who tells you there's a way where you'll never-
I loved that his argument is, socialism is too good.
Everyone knows in the real world, there's a downside.
Yeah, I mean, the downside is you can't hoard wealth, right?
For a gain, wait again, and it's death.
So leave that spat with the Dems and the monster they created.
Instead of articulating an alternative,
we need to implement what we already stated.
Because the icy water of reality has already
settled the arguments, the climate agenda is abandoned,
the open borders a nightmare America wishes to forget,
and the trans agenda has collapsed
under the weight of reason.
Through our nation demands a border, a belief in biology,
access to fossil fuel, and incarcerating criminals.
And enough with identity politics.
I don't need to hear your pronoun preference
when you're telling me the soup of the day.
But even if mainstream America, these ideas are done,
they're still gasping and twitching
in the corpse of the Democratic Party, thanks to the DSA.
So that's their battle and not ours.
There won't be a socialist America,
but the Democratic Party looking like a sure bet.
We could throw them a life preserver,
but they'd only call it racist for being white.
be sure to like and subscribe.
Wow, that shit went hard in the retirement home.
Fox is going so hard.
This is not your most important photo on Getty.
Wait, really?
I hate it, but they know I hate it.
That's why they play it.
Fox News alert Abdul El Sayed is calling for unity,
but he's refusing to condemn Hassan Piker,
despite piker saying that america deserved 9 11 he said that you need to
renounce people like the left wing streamer has on piker who was campaigning
with you was out there in michigan on monday night late last night as well
do you have any plans to to do that look i'll tell you this i'm less focused
on folks who are campaigning with me more focused on the folks i'm
campaigning to and i think it's important to stay in touch with the
folks who how long are they gonna milk this I don't know I want to know what
their audience is saying when people are more focused on power than morals I
always laugh when wrestling board for Carville is old serpent head Carville's
notion oh my god all the boomers that watch this fucking hate James Carville so
they're accidentally getting polarized they're they're accidentally getting
polarized in my direction who you want to elect you I think that's clearly what's
gone wrong with senator Federman yes the top comment is my head is small
fuck you I did have some words for my next guest James Carville now James
Carville talking about leaving the party we got John Federman James Carville
fantasizing about leaving the party I'm like you're sweetening the deal it's
also I mean just so part of his life why does anybody still listen to James
He said one smart thing once, but she seems to have forgotten which is when he's the economy stupid
Join me now democratic strategist James Carville. That was a rather smart take. It's the economy
Blessing me. I don't know what I can do. I can't take it. Please mommy help me
Such vicious people wow
So I look at the end of the day, I think the guy's gonna win anyway
I mean, Trump's probably 30 points underwater in Michigan.
His opponent is a lackey, a big farmer, an election denier.
He can't help himself.
He got it.
He got it still to the line.
Look at him.
Look at him.
I say, Bendenick, but you can't.
I don't want you to, Jennifer, like, too hard now.
I don't want you to bust a hip on the way down.
Yeah, I like that we went from Anthony Fantano
to back to dehydrated Anthony Fantano.
Totally in on a losing war.
And so he's got some slack.
He'd probably use every bit of it
but I still think he's gonna win.
And you know, Mike Rogers, of course,
would take issue with that.
We'll see, I personally don't think
Mission Impossible would break.
No, he would take issue with the fact
that he's a big form of love, you think Michigan is there,
but you think Michigan is there
with this really socialist demeanor.
Well, I look, I'll say just some things that they said
that maybe people don't agree with,
but what you really don't agree with,
they're getting slaughtered in a sitcom,
Megan slaughtered with these.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
James, bro, brother, brother,
Look, look, look, Mac and Annie's like, we brought you on to shit on her.
So Parker, what the fuck are you doing?
Now you're talking about socialists are going to defeat the Republicans.
Look at her face.
Look at her face.
Okay, James.
Okay, James.
Hey, yo.
Hey, yo.
I don't like this guy.
But let me tell you, you know what I don't like?
Because living crisis, the economy, people are getting slaughtered.
The terrorists are getting slaughtered in this stupid war that we've already lost.
We don't even know how to surrender.
They're getting slaughtered in an economy that when Trump took it over was called by the
economists and Jamie Diamond.
Bro, look at her face.
Look at her face.
Oh my God.
Oh my god, she's literally shocked. Oh my god
I think they brought him on because they thought he was gonna unload on me and Abdul and he just
Flipped it so fast. She's like pissed. Oh
My god mouth a gate dude James Kyle welcome to the resistance
James Kyle remembered. Maybe you can't criticize this room the party. I
Said I said what I say earlier. Hey, who'd Barack?
Worked on this campaign back in 99. Let me tell you something. Okay
What I was trying to do is dismantle design this entity piece by piece. I I came in as an insider
Thought I could do an inside outside job
That's right. The whole time I was a double A. Everything I said beforehand was a lie.
Oh, if I just caught him in the history of the world, now would point will be losing
jobs and he keeps revising job with loss downward. So, yeah, this is a race where if you're not a
Republican, you should win and win easily. I don't know if that all things can be easy.
I'm going to take a bet with you there. I think Michigan looks for Mike Rogers,
and I think value added is President Trump, in my view. I do want to play this for you.
Here's Bernie Sanders. Listen to this. So when someone like James Carville says he
He doesn't want to be in the same political party as Hasan Piker.
Which one are you going to take?
I think one of the funniest parts about this is also James Carvel has got like what?
Maximum 10 more years of life.
Like he's on one HP, no disrespect to my man, but he's 90 something years old.
So like, like how many more years does he have in the party or at least on God's
green earth to begin with, you know what I mean? Like, I'm just saying, like, he's like,
oh yeah, I got me my way of the highway. It's on a mirror or a sound pocket.
And it's like, okay,
well, that's not much of a choice. So Mr. Carvel doesn't want to be in my party and
the party that I belong to that pica that I'll sell us as I had belongs to,
he can start his own party. These socialists have a lot of time on you.
They seem to, they seem to, and I don't know, they're not the warrior. I'll be 82 in October,
so much longer. You know, I said to Sanders, things, it was not a Democrat. He was a socialist.
He didn't register as a Democrat. So I don't know, when he was a socialist, I was a Democrat.
I'm still a Democrat. Is he one now? I have no idea. I do know that maybe he has
has some animosity because he tried twice to get the Democratic nomination of
president and he failed rather spectacularly both times. But I can't do
anything about these people if they had never in their life to never I think
bigger than mouth. Well they they should take in you know really your wisdom on
he's so mad
The winning Democratic politics you did get Bill Clinton across the finish line after all on that note
You say you're a political animal. You just want to win races. There is a race Tuesday
Francesca Hong has a huge lead. Here's Francesca Hong
Thanksgiving is also a time that's incredible. Are they trying to give this man a stroke was happening
Like don't even show Francesca Hong's Thanksgiving tweets to James Carville, man.
Now I feel bad.
Again, 82 years old, man, just let him, let him rest, you know?
Painful for many people in our communities.
And so I think there I wanted to make sure that people understood that there are multiple
views, but views can evolve.
I mean, James, she says Thanksgiving is now her favorite holiday, but I imagine you
like that as a political operative that quote look I think that these the progressive left
in a very tech people I think they've come up with a AI random stupid idea generator
God he fucking loves being on camera so much
he is the court generator that's why that that's why they they ask him on that's why
why he goes on, he loves it, he'll shit on the left.
I think the stupid idea generator can think of things
that humans can't, like canceling Thanksgiving
or being against interracial dating.
So I'm just waiting to the next stupid idea AI generator
that's comes out, spits out of that
and probably go through to the humanities faculty
at the University of Wisconsin
for it after it gets put in a candidate's hand.
But that seems like where some of these ideas would originate.
James, I want to ask you this seriously.
Oh, the idea that Dario Lisa is anti-miscegenation, that shit makes me so fucking mad, like, that's not, oh my god.
You know, practitioner question, because you are a practitioner of politics.
The media did her so dirty with that shit.
Polling said Al Sad would win by double digits, but he didn't.
It was very close, about a one-point race.
Why is the polling so often Michigan?
I mean, could it be often Wisconsin?
That's a good question.
And what happened in New Jersey was everybody thought,
remember the last good material race,
and well, Spanburg, Atlanta, Virginia,
when it's gonna be tied in.
Yeah, old man going back to the same hits.
The polls were coming out.
There was neck and neck and both provisional
and I went, make a show run by 13 points.
Said it's been some pretty big polling phase.
You talk to any posts, they'll tell you,
climbers are notoriously hard to poll.
And what I don't think that it's rigged by anybody.
I think the last thing a poster wants is to be wrong.
I mean, that's what they do for a living,
but they sure have to kind of look at it
and how to allocate.
But primary polling is hard.
I'm never surprised when it's off,
even by as much as it was this time.
Interesting.
Well, I look forward to having more conversations like this,
because we had intermittent-
I guess they're down Bernie Sanders and Hassan Pfeiffer, and I also ain't out running me out.
We'll stick around a little bit longer.
Hey, maybe they should listen. You got Bill Clinton elected. Thank you, James.
Be sure to like.
Yeah, do you like that? Do you like Bill Clinton? Like, what's happening?
Psychotherapist explains, oh dude, when they start busting these out, you know this is like the throes, the final throes, you know?
Psycho therapist explains the appeal of democratic socialism.
Yeah, I'm not going to watch this shit, dude.
I'm sorry.
The other things that are playing.
The National Left.
Our Fox News producer, Seger Hassan fans, that's crazy.
We're not watching.
We begin with this morning's top story, the over.
Yeah, let's talk about top blanche real quick.
And then we'll move on to situation matter and then we'll watch
Jasmine Gold and a bunch of other things. Oh God, I'm stuck as James Carville now.
For night confirmation vote for President Trump's pick to lead the Department of Justice. I'm talking about Todd Blanche, the president's former personal defense attorney was confirmed early this morning in a 50 to 49 vote. Blanche had been acting Attorney General since April.
But his nomination faced uncertainty.
Two Republican senators broke with their party
to join Democrats in opposing him.
But ultimately, President Trump gathered enough support
to get his nominee over the finish line.
Torian Small is in Bridgewater, New Jersey,
near Bedminster, where the president
is staying this weekend.
Torian, good morning.
Thank Kelly, good morning.
Blanche reacting to the news this morning,
thanking the president and the Senate for staying late
and saying he's deeply honored by this confirmation.
A tense two week Senate solo session ended in a nail biter and at 50 49 vote
top blanche received the nearest Senate confirmation margin for an attorney
general in modern history but not without a fight. I think my my greater
concern was not necessarily with the anti-weaponization fund but with the
broad audit immunity that the president and his family had been granted. For
For those reasons, Republican Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski said she and Susan Collins
of Maine were out, further fueling her view with the president.
Jan Harsh works for Murkowski, an interview with Conchbull.
I'm against Murkowski.
I think she's, I do more for Alaska than any president in history.
No president's done for Alaska.
I've done.
She's, she's not good.
But it was Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy's endorsement that pushed Blanche across
Fuckin asshole dude this guy can't even like
Can't even maintain a shred of dignity by the way fucking asshole
Anyway
His response to it was also ridiculous he's like oh well someone else might be even worse you're a bitch
Yeah, cuck to the end, dude. None of these guys. Like, you have no reason to do this,
okay? You have no reason to give Trump a layup. He outcast you. He fucking outcast you. And now
you're letting Trump's defense attorney replace the previous Trump defense attorney who happened
to be the Attorney General. This is why you will never catch me in a million years defending
any Republican, not even Mitt Romney. Mothafuckers will be like, oh, Mitt Romney is woke now. Fuck that!
Once a Republican, always a Republican, okay?
Your apology has to be louder than the offense. Your restitution has to be more robust than
what you have done in the past. Bullshit. Yeah, master of Epstein coverup gets to be the head
of the department of justice. He's the architect of the Epstein coverup. It's madness. I know.
I know. It's fucking bullshit.
Troiota, guys, Troiota has been doing the damn thing for years now as a Democrat, and
not just any kind of Democrat, but straightforwardly like a very progressive, very left Democrat.
Yeah, the apology must be louder than the disrespect.
These motherfuckers still very much a goddamn Republican.
I'll vote for Mr. Blanche.
I'll be criticized for this vote.
What's new?
But another potential battle awaits lawmakers' return from their August recess.
Federal Appeals Court ordered a halt to construction on Trump's 400 million dollar White House ballroom,
ruling it needed congressional approval first.
A bill to do just that has been sitting on the hill since April and touched Trump responded
within hours saying he will immediately appeal to the United States Supreme Court and calling
it an unjust ruling and arguing it's needed for national security.
President Trump is also resuming efforts to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook over
allegation.
Dude, yeah, Republicans love getting cocked so much.
I mean, this is a humiliation ritual, bro.
It's crazy.
He had the opportunity to just, you know, deliver one last fuck you to Donald Trump.
One last fuck you to Donald Trump.
And he just ate it.
And of mortgage fraud, according to a letter obtained by CBS News, this
comes after the Supreme Court block president Trump for firing cut in June.
as her lawsuit continues. Adriana.
Alright, Torian. Thank you so much.
Diplomatic efforts towards peace continue in the Middle East.
Friday, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan all signed a new mutual defense
agreement that would treat an attack on one country as an attack on all three.
This, as US officials say, a deal between Iran and Oman
to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz is imminent.
NTS Tiamh joins us with the latest. Good morning.
Kelly Adriana, good morning to you.
Well, we're tracking those two major developments overnight
that really could reshape the Middle East.
Now, as we've been saying, one offers the prospect
of de-escalation with Iran, while the other
could redrop the region's security map.
First, after weeks of indirect negotiations,
CBS News has confirmed a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz
could come at any moment.
Now, why do officials tell us that real progress has
been made between Iran and Oman?
And if commercial shipping resumes,
the United States is prepared to lift its naval blockade
of Iranian ports, which allows for roughly 20%
the world's oil to start passing through the strait again.
There's something so funny about this by the way.
They've already started talking about alternatives.
And there's a likelihood that this Turkey-Pakistan-Saudi Arabia commitment is more so than a security
commitment, but instead one that will hopefully, from their perspective, find new routes to
transit oil through underground pipelines.
And the reason why they have to do that is because they've just given up on the straight.
They literally, Scott Besset straight up was like, we're done.
The straight is cooked.
Now, in the interim, there's not really much you can do about it.
Like, they can't really, like, there's a total realignment happening here.
Very different security commitments taking place, taking shape right now.
Largely because of America's incompetence, largely because America decided to lean into
what Israel wanted, right?
And everyone is pissed off.
Everyone's frustrated.
Everyone's angry.
Here's the problem.
Oil pipelines are one still, oil pipelines can still blow up, okay?
number one, two, it will take a decade to build these pipelines
and start rerouting oil through said pipelines. So what are we
going to do for a decade? What's the rest of the world going
to do for a decade? So even if their goal is to render the
straight to basically something inconsequential, there is not enough time to be able to accomplish
this.
There's simply not enough time to accomplish this.
But I think there's also a separate goal.
Obviously pipelines have limitations as well.
Oil tankers, there's a reason why we still use oil tankers and not pipelines.
Oil tankers are far more efficient.
It's the most efficient mode of transit.
You can put far more barrels on tankers and keep feeding them through the straight
as opposed to the finite amount that can transit through these pipelines.
But what's really interesting is what the spells is America has basically realized it's lost
the war.
They haven't admitted it yet.
I don't know what stage of grief we're at now,
because we were in denial, and I think now we're bargaining,
but we are certainly far from acceptance.
We're in the bargaining phase
where basically, Dan Cain
has come out and openly revealed
that we have to put an end to this.
I mean, he, as you guys know, Dan Cain and many of the other generals in Trump's orbit
were obviously never a fan of this action, but they followed through on it.
There's also the military as an institution.
I've talked about this before where like, remember when I said no general wants to
put their name next to a spectacular failure of a military campaign when they know it's
most likely going to fail.
Dankane was Trump's most loyal general.
He was the highest ranking guy who was willing to do his bidding.
And now, given the operational constraints, given the lack of tools that we have at our
disposal to continue waging this war without tremendous cost, and by that I don't mean
dollar signs. When I say tremendous costs, I'm talking about casualties. I'm talking about
additional assets that we will lose. Because like I said, the only way to escalate going forward is
when you've already depleted your Tomahawk missiles, your standoff munitions,
you just have to throw pilots and fighter jets in the direction of Iranian anti-air
defenses, it's not going to happen. It's too costly. It would be a heavy price.
One that I don't think Trump is interested in paying.
There is no secret sauce here. There's no secret weapon. There's no secret sauce.
There's no alternative. There's only two ways out of this, which is de-escalation or escalation.
and escalation has no guarantee. So Iran holds all the cards. Iran established primacy over
the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian allies, the Houthis, are causing a lot of trouble
in Bob El-Mandeb, the other Strait in the Red Sea.
In the process, we've lost, this is the most conservative estimate, $40 billion on the military
operations according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies report by Time Magazine.
$26 billion allocated to munitions, including $18.5 billion in specific ammunition categories.
And the equipment estimates are too low, says the Metacognates. They probably lost 35
Mark MQ-9s, that's $1 billion, add in the AN-FPS-132 radar and cutter and you've already, you're already at the lower bound of 2 billion, including the MQ-4C tankers, F-35, F-15s, A-10s, helicopters, transport planes, E-3 sentry, and all the other radars.
Something he forgot was also the AWACS system.
I mean, I guess E3 is E3 AWACS. E3 is AWACS, right? Never mind. But he didn't mention the
numerous straddle tankers as well. E3 is the, yeah, the E3 century is the AWACS, but he
didn't mention the straddle tankers. So there's the straddle tankers that got destroyed
In the Al Udeid airbase, there's the shadow tankers that got destroyed, or one of them basically landed without its radar thing up on its tail.
Yeah, the one E3 is like, I think, half a billion, 700 million, someone said in the chat, it's these are very, very costly pieces of equipment.
I mean the AWACS stuff is really cool. If you're a plane nerd, it's the the aerial radar
But they're very very expensive and they take a long time to to you know, they take a long time to rebuild to make new ones
Tremendous amounts of tech on those things, okay
Okay? Now add to that, yes, pilots being one of the Air Force and Navy's scarcest resources
and not replaceable even at any rate, say, patriots, even at the military and Trump were
willing to stomach human casualties.
There's no operation where you can just send as many fighter jets as possible. Israel will
not play a role in an operation like that without maintaining air superiority, guaranteed
air superiority, not air supremacy, not like in the off chance that anti-air systems could
pepper some of these planes, like guaranteed air superiority is a necessity for Israel
to conduct their operations, because you know they're very shy about allowing their soldiers
to die or get captured, God forbid.
So, there's just no shot.
Oh, sorry, air superiority is the lower version
of supremacy, I apologize, I fucked up the terms.
Anyway, it's been really funny watching the American government
try to push the Defense Production Act
Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, all these other providers to really improve their procurement
strategies to re-up and re-arm. The military has been really funny because they just want the
defense industry to conduct alchemy.
The Pentagon is now giving defense contracts with 21 days to come up with ways to dramatically
accelerate weapons production as the Iran war continues to eat through U.S. stockpiles.
Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg directed industry to propose faster delivery schedules,
increased production and investments in new manufacturing capacity. The scale of the
depletion is significant. Now, what's funny about this also is that this isn't even for Iran.
You might think this is for Iran. This is not for Iran.
This is for American defenses going forward. They have to re-up and rearm so that they have sufficient missiles to defend the homeland.
I think things are going to get very interesting as time continues, because the military is an organized unit in and of itself.
And as you recall, I've talked about, now, as I mentioned earlier, generals don't want to put
their name on certain missions, certain campaigns, because they care about that. But it's a,
it's a bureaucratic process in and of itself. And I would go so far as to say the American
military is probably the last remaining institution that kind of works in this fucking country.
And unfortunately for them, let's be real, capitalism and ensudification is also taken
route within the American military specifically because so much of the military relies on
private enterprise. Whether it be defense contractors, whether it be the entire backbone of the AMO,
everything comes from private industry. And private industry within the military industrial
complex is filled to the brim with defense bloat. This is part of the reason why it's
unbelievably costly, unbelievably slow. And if we're fighting an enemy, a foreign adversary that
is, if we're fighting a foreign adversary that's fighting a war of survival, it's very clear that
we don't have the capacity to dominate them militarily. That's where we're at right now.
So what they're demanding, what the American government is demanding is basically alchemy.
Okay, they're like, do magic, please. Just, you know, find a way to materialize more missiles.
I don't know how they would be able to do this. I don't know what the possible scenario here is.
But given that the military industrial complex is designed to yield tremendous super profits
for a handful of, you know, capitalist pedophiles, parasitic capitalist executives.
I just don't think that they're going to follow through on this.
I don't even know if they could follow through on this, even if they wanted to.
But once again, all signs point to, I'm not going to say the M word.
But all signs point to real problems internally in the military and it's definitely getting
to a pressure point.
Okay?
I just mean, I don't see this, I don't, I don't see them getting out of this situation
at all.
And once we move past the bargaining phase to the acceptance phase, once we get there,
there's going to be a lot of shit slinging.
Okay.
There's going to be a lot of shit slinging is I don't think Dan Kane wants to carry
the cost and the burden and the blame for Trump and Israel's war against Iran.
Now, of course, you still got New York Post saying Trump's best option on Iran's nuclear programs
to bomb the tunnel entrance of pickaxe. In other words, a symbolic W, pickaxe even deeper than
the other facilities. The top U.S. general, Dan Cain has recently sidebarred with some of those
key, like my Trump advisor, an effort to facilitate interagency coordination and ensure they are
on the same page ahead of meetings with the president.
The aim has been to make clear the limitations of pitfalls of the available military options,
including those that do not involve putting US boots on the ground, the sources said.
Hainis coaching other people around Trump on how to properly explain to him that
destroying Iran's energy infrastructure is a bad idea.
All the while Iran is obviously cutting side deals with Oman and Iran has successfully dealt
with Oman.
Basically de facto control over the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran controls the entry and exit.
Iran will not allow Israel or American ships or Israel or American connected ships to
transit through the Strait of Hormuz unless they pay Iran.
a toll necessarily, which they are going to charge, I believe it's around 7%. That's the
number that they arrived at for, you know, an environmental fee, security fee, you know,
that kind of thing. But yeah, 7% of the cargo is the number that they arrived at. A processing
Whatever you want to call it doesn't really matter. You can call it toll if you want
Yeah, ticketmaster Iran Ayatollah pay itola
that sort of situation so
Iran
Is not going to allow you as an Israeli ships to transit to the Shad of Hormuz and everyone else is going to pay
7% now of course the initial Iranian told before the memorandum of understanding or during the memorandum of understanding
Ironically enough was 2%
So every time they gain more leverage they understandably
increase
their demands
Because that's how it works
This is precisely the reason why I kept saying it's time to pull out and
And before we went in, I said, do not go in.
And then after we went in, I said, pull out now.
And yet everybody said, we got contingencies, little bro.
It turns out we don't.
Here are some of the other Iranian demands.
The Shrida formus will not be open until the United States corrects his behavior.
Correcting behavior means never threatening Iran or insulting the sacred values of this
nation in any language.
That's funny in any language.
Once and for all, any war and aggression against Iran and its allies in Lebanon, Palestine,
Yemen and Iraq, lifting the naval blockade and withdrawing its proceed, they added Palestine.
Before it was Lebanon, now it's Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen and Iraq, lifting the naval blockade
and withdrawing its military forces, naval and air from the vicinity of Iran, pulling
out from the bases, which they by the way, de facto have pulled out to a great
degree because Iran just blew up a lot of these bases. So Americans were forced to retreat
anyway. A lot of their assets were panic-shipped into Jordan, which then they started blowing
up there as well. The rest will probably go to Israel, sitting a hangar there, fully
compensating Iran for the damages caused by the two aggressive and imposed wars, lifting
the unjust and illegal sanctions against the Iranian people, unconditionally releasing the
assets that have been blocked and stolen from the Iran people. So this is pretty easy to
understand. These were the demands. Ironically enough, these were also, I guess these demands
were more reasonable during the negotiations process before America decided to decapitate
Iranian leadership and execute IRGC high command.
And then, if you notice the trend, this is Iran's terms of surrender for America, okay?
These are the demands of the Iranian people, they say, who have voiced them for 160 days
in the streets and squares of the Supreme National Security Council will never compromise
whether in war or negotiations.
And especially since Iran said we decide the tempo and started striking at Jordan, an American
lack of response to this, an American lack of response to these demands could cause Iran
to start peppering Jordan again.
New York Times, of course, covered this saying,
Iran issues list of demands dampening hopes
of reopening the straight.
This was, of course, Scott Besant.
I think shortly, maybe even today, tomorrow,
we are going to see an agreement at 30, 60 day ceasefire
and straight will be open, energy prices should come down.
That was on August 7th, and here he is on August 4th,
three days prior to August 7th.
I think there is a chance we may have a deal today
or tomorrow to open the straight
And I think there is a chance we may have a deal today or tomorrow to open the strait.
Yeah.
Here's August 6th.
Very good.
Very good.
Very good.
So yeah, as I've said over and over again, Trump can manipulate the markets.
But he can't out-yap a lack, a significant shortage of a hard commodity necessary for global survival
that is traded on the global markets. It's just not going to happen.
Donald Trump is destroying the world.
But, at least, we're keeping our most important ally hopeful.
Let's see what Ben Shapiro's brilliant mind came up with yesterday.
There are things that could be done that range from striking their energy facilities and
Walking away to allowing our allies in the region ranging from Israel to Saudi Arabia to UAE to have oversight over these particular areas
To yeah, I think we could probably just walk away retain the sanctions and then let the Europeans Japanese and Chinese deal with the straight of hormones
I think the worst-case scenario here is cutting up
I don't like that Ben is also wearing the same fucking color suit is me what the fuck is going on today bad deal that ends with
Iran in a position to rebuild with control over the straight and that's the thing that I'm concerned about oh
Well, you just said you would fucking relinquish control over the Shreddo Hormuz to Iran, but you're then concerned about it
But what's really interesting is
We have no say Ben
We have no fucking say in the process Ben
The question remains you and what army are you gonna go over there and open it?
Okay, are you concerned about it for
For both the welfare of the United States and Israel, is there a nexus there?
Because obviously, Iran wants to wipe out every Jew on the planet.
Oh God, yeah, obviously, I mean, definitely.
dog there are Jews in Iran what are you saying you fucking boomer so I mean
obviously there's a crossing of streams there my predominant interest is
obviously that the United States wishes for there not to be a nuclear Iran this
is something the president has said over and over again the obviously there are
other allies in the region that are threatened by Iran including Saudi
Arabia Bahrain UAE Kuwait all of which have been active in this conflict and
so I think they're sometimes an attempt to say that the only interest in the
region is the Israeli interest and that if you are in favor of the president
ending the conflict victoriously it must only be on Israel's behalf a strange
contention given the fact that if I'm sure that if you ask Prime Minister
Netanyahu what he would want and you just you know what would he want in a
utopian world the answer presumably would be the toppling of the Iranian
regime using whatever possible force is necessary which is not something that
I've actually called for so again yeah in my opinion this is the best the
is really hoping for now blow another huge chunk of the remaining
uh... tl a m's
and j s s m's on a blatant war crime watcher on destroy all the oil and
pressure in the region of response and have the u s force retreat the stupid
possible outcome for everyone but them
it would accomplish absolutely nothing towards the return of the previous
status quo with hormones but it sure would make iranian suffer which is what
they're looking for
yeah
that would be the worst option
geek military right here is is winning all yet iran is also or the guardian has
said
that iran hopes to deal trump a blow in the midterms iran is set out a
protracted negotiation timetable design to keep down from embroiled in iran
conflict until the midterm elections in the hope of inflicting the same
ruin is blow on his presidency is jimmy carter suffered
over the nineteen seventy nine
1981 U.S. Embassy hostage crisis. Now the difference there is Iran was in direct coordination with
the Republicans at the time. Okay.
That was direct coordination with the foreign adversary, but of course that was the Republicans,
they get to do that. Can you imagine a world where the Democratic party was through back channels,
coordinating with the IRGC. Just think about that world. What would the GOP would literally
murder every Democrat in the country? They would just literally line up every Democrat
and murder them.
But it's funny because Trump will probably look to this and claim that the Democrat Party
is cooperating with Iran anyway.
Right now more than 5,000 sailors and Marines are stuck aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln in
the ninth month of a deployment that was supposed to last seven, supporting military operations
against Iran that Congress never authorized.
Their families are begging someone to listen.
Moldy showers, broken toilets, no hot water for weeks, meals that came down to half a
cup of rice and two tortillas, a ship store out of soap, deodorant and toothpaste.
Sailors so worn down that according to one family member, the ship's own doctor warned
they need to reach ports soon, or people are going to start losing their minds.
Don't join the military. Do not join the military. I'm sorry to say I told you. Do not join the
military.
Back in April, when families first raised the alarm, Pete Hexit dismissed the reports
as fake news. These are the people we asked to serve in one of the most dangerous workplaces
on Earth the flight deck of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, they and their families
deserve answers.
Furthermore the US was going to sell weapons to Iran during the Iran-Iraq war and use the
proceeds to fund the far-right contra-rebels in Nicaragua at the same time they were supplying
Iraq with WMDs, the Reagan administration genuinely just wanted to maximize deaths in
in the third world, let me pay out, yes.
Oh.
So,
things are going really well.
Yeah, Kurt Mills has a funny take here,
Of course, this is not even a war of plunder, a simulated war of plunder.
Big oil told the president days after the Maduro raid that the country was not useless
in the short term, aka Trump's term.
The math here is a total fabrication and a fraction of the Iran war's cost for what
is worth as any sort of offset.
The total barrels of oil the U.S.'s extracted from Venezuela since January is by any
credible measurement less than the current U.S. exports in a week, maybe even half
or less than that.
So, we don't even steal right.
We took their gold anyway.
I guess that was the real plunder.
Who doesn't want to join the US military for free tortillas?
Yeah, free tortilla night every night.
On the USS Lincoln, assault.
A lot of Americans are not really paying attention to this shit. We obviously are. And it has been perhaps the most spectacular blunder that I have ever experienced in the last 13 years of my professional political commentary media career.
I've never seen anything like it. It's actually complete. It's unbelievable. I
Was in the military and tortilla night wasn't even every night. Well now it is but it's just rice and tortilla
A CSIS estimate site of other wash post puts global Patriot inventories under
827
Down from roughly
200 before the war while fat inventories have fallen from 452 to fewer than 278 now
We know for a fact
We know was this worse than Putin invading yes
Putin invading Ukraine was also a
Massive fuck up because there were other means of achieving said goals
But are you fucking kidding me? Yes, this is worse
You say no because like a lot more people have died.
A lot more people have died, a lot more Russians have died.
If you're thinking about it from the perspective of like Russian casualties, yes, it's horrible.
But I would say because America is the hegemonic superpower, the amount of, like America has
to be the security guarantor of the entire world. America can no longer be the security
guarantor of the entire world. After this is said and done, it won't even take a decade
until the rest of the world has to recalibrate. It's already happening in front of our eyes.
And the region itself has started to recalibrate its security assurances.
The Russian invasion was more of a tactical failure, far more Russians died, whereas the
American war in Iran was more of a strategic failure.
Strategic aims were not met.
It was a strategic failure, but also on top of that, I think the American failure
here is far more costly and far more severe in the long term, because regardless of the
casualties on the Russian side, from the Russian calculation, Vladimir Putin doesn't give a
shit about his own people.
And what he cares about is maintaining additional territory, which they were able to maintain,
at least for the time being, who knows how long they will be able to hold it.
But Donald Trump didn't have to blow up Iran at all.
And the Strait of Hormuz, like, here, I'll give you an example.
You know what this would look like if Russia was like, oh, we're invading Ukraine.
And then they pushed all the way into Kiev.
And then Ukraine pushed back so hard that they actually did the Kursk offensive, and
then they started establishing forward operating bases inside of Russian territory.
Okay?
Like Donald Trump went in with this unnecessary blunder and literally fucked everything
up in the process and lost tens of billions of dollars of assets in the region.
Like, the equivalence of this would be if Russia was like, oh, we're invading Ukraine.
We're going to take Kiev in two days, special military operations, and boom, Crimea is back
in Ukrainian hands.
You know what I mean?
And they annexed it back.
They took it back.
They brought it back into the fucking national boundaries.
Like, that's what it would be like.
And then also, simultaneously, we found out that like, Russia's entire defense production
is depleted. You know what I mean?
Because like this is damn near a century of American military dominance
coming to a close. I don't think a lot of people understand the significance of
the events that are taking shape in front of our eyes like
this is the american military doctrine the american defense capabilities the american force projection
capabilities coming to a close in the way that we understand it america going forward
in the long term will not be able to maintain its militant posture and everything that they do
from this point on is going to be one less consequential overall it's going to be smaller
and smaller incidents and they will still lead to larger and larger failures. This is the end
of American imperialism in our lifetime. That's why I said what I said
at Yale, at the Yale Union in that speech that I delivered, I said American Empire is dying.
It's ending, no matter what we say, so it's up to us to manage that decline of American Empire,
and to retreat from the world in a more equitable manner.
So yeah, it's the end. It's not necessarily the end to the American Empire where the same
thing's not said after the Vietnam War loss. This is very different than Vietnam, my friend.
Vietnam was a 20 year occupation, built to the brim with war crimes.
Okay, but the Vietnamese occupation was one backed by obviously much more powerful industrial
forces that we were at war with a broader more consequential war or Cold War. But outside of that,
outside of that, the Vietnamese war, America's invasion occupation of Vietnam
did not penetrate American hegemony, did not deliver as devastating a blow to American military
supremacy.
I don't know, maybe people's attitudes at the time were similar, but I don't think they
were talking about how like, we're running out of bullets, we're running out of bullets.
We have basically shown all of our allies in the region and also beyond the region that
American security commitments are not absolute.
American security commitments are not real assurances of security, but an assurance rather
that you will be victim to our adversaries in the process and we will leave you behind.
Like that's not sustainable.
There was no calculation like that in Vietnam.
There was no calculation like that in Afghanistan.
There was no such calculation in Iraq.
As a matter of fact, the energy problem that exists currently because of the Strait of Hormuz
being shut off by Iran did not exist in any of those other situations.
As a matter of fact, one of the first things that we did in Iraq was to secure the energy
ministry.
We secured the oil fields and we kept refining oil.
So it actually didn't disrupt the oil refinement process in Iraq that much.
That was the first goal.
Vietnam certainly did not have any oil or energy that the rest of the world was taking
advantage of.
The rest of the world was utilizing.
So there's nothing that we've done that I can think of that is similar to what is
going on here.
You're saying palm trees, palm oil.
Okay, palm oil is not the same, though.
Like Afghanistan is opium.
It's not the same.
It's not the same as 20% of the entire world's energy supply that
transits through this choke point.
Iran, in many respects, in retaliation to the American war of choice, turned this into
a war of global consequence.
We look at it from over here, especially due to our distance from the battle, and we
think about it as not a world war, but the consequences are global.
The consequences have been global.
And we could not have a worse possible person to be the commander-in-chief throughout this
process.
I will admit I've said in the past that, you know, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump would
be identical in terms of how they deal with Israel.
But this is definitely different.
I don't think there's any president, Republican or Democrat that would do this.
And I know for a fact that Joe Biden wouldn't do this because I'm sure that Joe Biden
was pitched on this idiotic idea as well as George W. Bush, as well as Barack Obama.
As well as Trump won probably.
The goal for the global war on terror was to eventually do this.
There's always a consideration for it, but no one would pull the trigger because everyone
understood this is what would happen.
So as much as I'd like to take credit for my foresight and act as though I'm so fucking
brilliant for recognizing the inevitable catastrophe that this would generate.
Everyone fucking knew this would happen.
Everyone that's like even a little bit intelligent knew that this would happen.
But Donald Trump
So yeah, there's no way out of this
Mark Ames says math problem Russia produced ballistic missiles faster the West can make the interceptors so far this year Russia's fired
650 ballistic missiles at Ukraine that is more than the number of pack three interceptors delivered worldwide all of last year
The only thing we know about Iran missiles and missile production is that DC and the media
Relying on DC for figures has wildly underestimated
IRI missile
Numbers and capabilities deliberately underestimated while also having no fucking clue the perfect combo to encourage Trump
Yeah, all it took was for Donald Trump to have a successful military operation in Venezuela and
And then Israel to strike on that opportunity when he was riding high off his own fucking supply.
That's where we're at.
I seem to remember Cheney and Rostel doing the same North Korean nukes and ICBMs don't matter.
They're irrelevant to us now.
routine after North Korea tested his first nuke,
W simply stopped talking about North Korea and the acts of evil, no neocon
talking point, no problem.
Yeah.
Yeah.
An important lesson for all foreign adversaries of America
to pay close attention to.
You want sovereignty? You got to get nukes. That's it.
Also not be doctrine for nation-building. The Israeli military is directly informed
cent-com commander Admiral Brad Cooper that Israel does not need approval or
support from the U.S. the wage war against her.
Brother, you and what army?
This is so funny. Good luck, man. That would be the funniest outcome. Israel decides we're
gonna do this on our own. Israel decides we're gonna go our own way here. We're gonna go
the distance. We're gonna start blowing up. We're gonna start blowing up Iran. Donald
Trump pulls out and then Iran retaliates against Israel. What are you gonna do then?
Israel's preparing for a unilateral strike on Iran as it concludes the U.S. is no
no longer willing to finish the war on its own terms. Iran has previously threatened to
strike Israel's Haifa oil refinery and Tel Aviv directly as soon as Israel strikes Iran
again with Iran having broken the air defense layer in Jordan and other Arab countries
in daily attacks over the last few weeks, allowing it to strike Israel more efficiently
and with Israel's own intercept, intercept the stocks now critically low, leaving it
more vulnerable.
You say nuke, but I've already stressed this position.
Israel utilizing nukes and destroying the nuclear taboo, especially as not the United
States of America, but Israel, will create a very different next day where Israel and
America will be forced to separate.
And what's even more interesting about this calculation is, and perhaps you guys don't
understand this, even though I've repeated it over and over again, there is no guarantee
that a nuclear first strike on Iran will actually force Iranian surrender.
As a matter of fact, judging by how Iran has responded, judging by Iran's defense capabilities,
judging by the reach that a nuclear weapon has, okay, there is a guarantee that Iran would
go back to the mosaic system and instead of striking the Gulf, would probably drop
the nuclear equivalent of ballistic munitions on Israel. And this time, because there is
no more nuclear deterrent, Iran would probably dump everything they have. They would magdump
Israel. I'm sure Israel understands this reality and perhaps would not utilize a nuke because
it would mean the end of israel
the end of everything really
because again
america has nukes america has far better
bunker busting munitions
uh... penetrative ordinance that they've deployed on iran
on iranian facilities
this is not stopped iran
there is no nuclear weapon
that could
crater
or penetrate deep enough
that would be able to effectively destroy
their their missile silos that are deep underground
so the only thing a nuclear weapon could do
is kill
as many civilians as possible with one strike
uh... israel certainly has this capability
strike Tehran, Isfahan, numerous other densely populated areas, killing hundreds of thousands
of Iranians in one go.
But having said that, the facilities that are of military value are deep underground.
that wouldn't actually stop the Iranian strike capabilities at all. Iran's also a massive
country. It just wouldn't, it just, there's no way. I look, I never say never, everyone's
fucking insane nowadays, but I just don't foresee that happening. But then again, I will
never be super confident in that kind of analysis going forward as it pertains to
Vladimir Putin, as it pertains to Zelensky, as it pertains to Donald Trump, and as it
pertains to, well, I guess Iran out of all of these parties is probably the most like
easier to understand.
Iran is the most predictable party out of all of these like global leaders, and so is
is China. The least predictable and the least rational parties would probably be Donald
Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, Vladimir Putin. And I would say even Zelensky doesn't get
to be up there on the leaderboard as far as being insane. He's just kind of stuck.
He's just kind of stuck in a really awful situation where he has to be just as insane
as Donald Trump in order to gain favor from Donald Trump? That's why every now and then
he does crazy shit like striking Iranian ships on the Caspian Sea.
But yeah, we didn't have to get here.
There were so many different moments where we could have turned this around turned this
god damn car around dude and we chose not to
Mr. President here. There you go.
What happened? What did miss say? Oh, guys, I officially have more airtime than Austin.
Oh, yeah, myth went flying with Marat. I know.
Yeah. Marat flew myth around.
Shout out to myth.
Austin is here and mad.
What?
Okay, 92 beautiful months goddamn row 92 month subscriber Austin show that's fucking crazy
Yeah, man feels like
Still won't get in a simulator
Yeah, he's too busy flying
Real planes.
Huh.
Yeah.
uh...
trove is not going to be able to walk away from this iran war at his own
choosing still has no idea what world is shit he's in unfortunately we're all
in his truth
those
for goals that we set out with
and the question you want to ask yourself is what were those strategies
why did they fail
now what i'd like to do
is i'd like to frame the discussion
in terms of
what i think of the five
Possible strategies that my goat became a fucking youtuber. Oh
My god, can we fucking collab please?
We are now colleagues
okay, and
Maybe one day lovers
Professor Mersheimer. I am begging now that you are a youtuber. Can we please collab?
We are co-workers now
He don't got internet bro. He will not collab with me. I don't know why I mean he just doesn't respond. I've been asking I
Love his suits
He got a AT&T sponsorship yeah reach out to his webmaster I have
United States was
presented with and
then describe what happened and then
Analyze why the strategies didn't fail
So I'm going to lay out the five strategies that I'm going to describe
What happened?
From February 28th up to the present in terms of employing those strategies and then I'm going to analyze why they failed
Here are the five strategies the first three involve air power
The fourth involves naval power and the fifth involves land power or armies
You know his YouTube gets bitter views in yours. Yeah, bro five days
He already has 346,000 views on this bitch. God damn every episode is a banger. I
Will subscribe to offensive realism, sir, I will believe your belief system, okay? Yes, I
I too believe it's a great power competition.
I am no longer an anti-imperialist.
Please, sir!
It's because he does gaming? Oh, really?
Really?
Yeah, he's cooking me in viewpoints, dude, the view counts, look at this, Roach King got banned,
Federman leaves John Stuart in shock, 200k, 61k.
This guy's a psychopath.
Trump is losing his mind right now. Oh my god. We really got to do more like fucking
Boomer Slop. This is like this is crazy boomers
YouTube audiences love Trump is losing his mind type shit
China is done are you calling me a boomer no I'm not calling you a boomer I'm not a boomer
I'm a city it has to be said is moving alongside continued conflict Iran-backed Huki forces
have intensified attacks in Yemen threatening Red Sea shipping with United States rather
United Nations warning the country faces its greatest risk of renewed war since the 2022
truce. Now the second development sees Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan signing mutual
defense pact under which an attack on one will be treated as an attack on all three.
Now it's tempting to call it a Muslim NATO but I think that's premature. NATO of course has
an integrated command and standing military structures. So far this deal does not but
But what it does do is it creates a formal security partnership, linking Saudi Arabia's
money and influence with Turkey's military and defense industry, along with Pakistan,
which is the Muslim world's only nuclear-armed state.
Now, for Washington, it broadly aligns with President Trump's goal of regional partners
taking greater responsibility for their own security.
The real question now is whether this remains a wartime pact or becomes the foundation
of a new balance of power that could reshape the Middle East security landscape for the
years ahead.
Adriana.
A key question indeed.
NTS, thank you so much.
As sources say, President Trump's top general, Van Kain, who is the chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, has privately made clear to top Trump advisors that he believes the
United States needs to find an off ramp from the Iran War.
Over the last few weeks, our sources say that General Kain has met key cabinet
officials, including the CIA Director, the Secretary of State, and the Vice President
warning that escalating this conflict could backfire and that the president's aerial
campaign won't be enough to make Iran capitulate.
Something General Cain brought up during a hearing last month.
I think academically as you look across the totality of history, our power's got
limits and we always have to be mindful of those.
me tonight is Beth Sander, who is the former deputy director of national intelligence.
And Beth, when you hear this reporting about what General Cain is reportedly saying to
Trump advisors about an off-ramp, what does that sound like to you?
I think it's, you know, an accurate portrayal.
What is this?
A Democratic strategist debates Will Cain defending a Sampakir saying, Democrat should
not disavow him.
And it says Nick Flint is much worse.
She even defended his Sompikers America deserve comments saying it was clickbait.
Yeah, the new meta from the Gropers is how jealous they are that like Democrats are coalescing around me, whereas the Republicans won't even coalesce around Nick Fuentes.
Not realizing that one, if I had Nick Fuentes's odious views, then the Democrats would absolutely disavow me.
That's number one.
And number two, the Democrats are not fucking coalescing around me at all.
What are you talking about?
This would be the equivalent of James Fishback defending Nick Fuentes. The only people that like
kind of defend me in media are the candidates that I work with that are a part of this movement.
Not my fault that Nick Fuentes' movement has yielded motherfucking James Fishback, and that's it.
Actually, it's probably a good thing.
Yeah, Nick Fuentes had dinner with Donald Trump, by the way.
way. Just so we're clear, you know what I mean? Like Nick, what is that dinner with Donald
Trump? He's, he has had, uh, he's had access far greater than I would, I ever could within
the halls of power in the Democratic party. That's part of the reason why they treat me
as a fucking significant point of opposition. It's ironic because the reason why they
attack Nick Fuentes is not because he's anti-miscegenation or a neo-nazi or even a holocaust
denier really it's because he's anti-israel and even then he's kind of hot and cold on that stuff too
but that's it that's literally it that's the only reason if nick fuentes had all of the same
viewpoints that he has but then on top of that was pro-israel he would probably be
be a prominent fixture of Republican propaganda. He would be a part of the Republican propaganda
apparatus because a lot of people don't understand like there is not a lot of daylight between
Nick Fuenthal's worldview and like Randy Fine's worldview. It's just Randy Fine is pro-Israel
and Nick Fuenthal is anti-Israel. They agree on damn near everything else.
Joining me now, a Democrat strategist, Madeline Somerville.
Madeline, thanks for being with us here today.
Is it your strategic advice that, yes, indeed, they should walk away from disavow Hasan Piker?
I don't think they should completely disavow him.
I think they should keep him at an arm's length.
Here's why.
The group of young men, the disaffected young men that are following along with Nick
flentes currently have no balancing on the other side, right? And if what is
is much worse than Hassan piker is, but he's been able to galvanize this group
of of young disaffected men who are angry and the left needed that too. We
need those folks to come out and vote. He's not saying anything that has
been so terribly dramatic against Jewish people. Is it your strategic advice
that, yes, indeed, they should walk away from disavow Hassan piker?
I see you do a research, I am. I just saw a very long effort post. This week for the second
time in my media career I let my emotions get the best of me. I said something on TV that
I didn't actually believe. On Wilkinshaw I was asked if I thought that I should denounce
Islam, Piker and stop campaigning with him. I should have said yes. Instead I defended
Piker, which he didn't deserve. I did it because I was angry about the Islamophobia
I was seeing everywhere. The false accusations and characters ished by Islam and Muslims
and politics. I was thinking about how I would feel if someone I thought should have
run for office because of my beliefs. And it made me defend El Sayed, having Piker with
him on the campaign trail. I didn't want to endorse the Sharia law propaganda. I was just
tired of the narrative.
So I was wishy-washy and said, don't give it to Piker. Just keep him at an arms length.
And he has said good things too. I said, we need someone like Piker to bring millions
of young disaffected men back into the party. What I should have said is, Piker
is not a good representative for the democratic party. And he said, hey, it's things
I could never support. Of course, America didn't deserve 9-11. How could I even gloss
over that. I'm deeply ashamed of that, I did honestly. Just because the media is
pating all Muslims and politics is dangerous. Doesn't mean I get to pretend
that this particular person who happens to be Muslim didn't say some awful shit.
I could have said maybe young folks, Piker Bingsin could learn something from
Dr. Al-Sayed, because the truth is that Dr. Al-Sayed believes in human dignity,
respect and safety for every human being. Despite what folks may have heard,
This is basically, this is crazy.
It's okay. I think she got a boss call.
Please let me take this opportunity to be clear. I do not believe in compromising your values for the sake of winning.
Nothing worded this compromising your values under any circumstance.
I could have offered a nuanced explanation, but instead I allowed my anger and frustration to take over.
I watched people who watched me to be able to trust me. Wait, what?
Why is she doing I'll do better?
I mean, this is gonna paint it in a very different light, but that's funny. I don't think they should
Completely disavow him. I think they should keep him at an arm's length. Here's why
The group of young men the disaffected young men that are following along with Nick Flentes
Currently have
Wait, what?
I'm not actually concerned with any side things in my opinion
any side things in my opinion, I'm just clarifying how I feel now that I thought through it clearly
and I offered to sound plenty of grace publicly on TV, but I needed to be clear innocent America
should not have died in a terrorist attack on 9 11. There's no justification for it. I'm sorry.
You guys shouldn't be mean to this person. By the way, be kind and be gracious. Okay.
It doesn't matter. Uh, you know, what's done is done. She already defended me on Fox
news. I believe America is complicit in horrible atrocity, but I do not believe in killing innocent
civilians. The Sampuyger said it was justified. Wait, what? No, I don't. Wait, what? What the
fuck? No, I literally have the same take that she does. What the fuck? Folks watching right,
cleaning news to know what Democrats still recognize the horror 9-11 was, and I sincerely
I disagree that any killing of innocents is justified for my conscious.
I need to make that clear.
I'm not cave in anyone.
I'm acting in quarters of my own beliefs.
What the fuck?
No balancing on the other side, right?
Nikfudges is much worse than Hassan Piker is, but he's been able to galvanize
this group of young, disaffected men who are angry.
And the left needed that too.
We need those folks to come out and vote.
He's not saying anything that has been
so terribly dramatic against Jewish people.
I'm confused.
I'm credi-
What the fuck?
I'm really confused, Madeleine.
I am too.
So your comparison of Hassan Piker to Nick Fuentes,
would you please tell me which Republican candidates
are currently campaigning with Nick Fuentes
and which campaign stages he has appeared on with which James Fishback.
But again, it doesn't really matter because I'm not Nick Fuentes.
You know, that's the whole point.
Also, Trump had fucking dinner with Nick Fuentes.
The idea of meta evolving to defend you on TV
than disavow ever post on social media would be hilarious.
Yeah, I love that.
candidates on the Republican Party sure that would be Tucker Carlson and
Marjorie Taylor what office I'm sorry Madeline what office is Tucker Carlson
running for probably president or or Marjorie yes this type of game is not
gonna work this way what do you mean what do you mean well came well will
came in the membrane have me on the fucking stream big dog come on it's
been weeks now, I would love to go on the Wilcay show. Okay. Throw the gauntlet down. Will is
my favorite Fox news guy because I always say he's secretly a communist because he just keeps
having people on that on ironically defense socialism pretty well. And not only that,
but also he will just like put the platform, like the DSA platform on there and shit.
And it's really funny because like the takeaway from that is supposed to be like, oh, I hate this, but the way will does it. I don't know how
The way will does it makes it feel like it's good like the platform is good. He's dsa strongest soldier
It's rhetorical game of suggesting that a commentator and a commentator have a relationship or
or a politician who no longer holds office
has a relationship with Nick Fuentes.
We are talking about a Senate candidate
and a mayor, a sitting mayor of New York City,
Zora Mamdani and Abdul Sayed,
who are campaigning side by side with Hassan Piker.
There is no comparison.
You have none.
And to suggest that a commentator has a relationship
with another commentator is you trying to play
a rhetorical game that I don't think is fair
to the audience or to the truth.
I'm not saying that they have a relationship in any other way than he serves a similar function on
one side. And what we're talking about in general is the political movements that are coming for
the next election, right? It's relevant to talk about what Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor
Greene are doing. It's relevant to talk about what the DSA is doing. I understand your rationale,
and I'm trying to understand your rationale. Your contention is do not disobey.
He was not expecting, dude, oh my God, this is a real media opportunity for anyone,
free ball
Just go up there and be like you guys are fucking being ridiculous about this dude
He's a commentator. He gets a significant amount of support from the disaffected masses that normally don't participate in american democracy
It's objectively a good thing that he's getting those people out there. You see the under 45 surge
in turnout indoor knocking operations in phone banking operations
Uh all across the country. So it's very clear
why a lot of left-ranked candidates find this to be useful, find an alleges with him to be valuable,
and the Abdel El Sayed victory is at least one of those examples.
Perhaps the reason why you guys are attacking him so much, just anything along those lines to be,
just be like, yeah, this guy talks for 20,000 hours. This guy talked for 20,000 hours in his
career. Of course, you're gonna fucking be able to find things. I can find things
that you've said this past week that I find to be heinous.
I saw this clip last week of this person lying to her face about Abdul. Oh, it's
Batya, right? Yeah, I saw this as well. She was defending Abdul al-Sayed and then
Batya was like, well, don't you feel Abdul al-Sayed has said that no Jew
should ever hold office or something. I saw this clip and she was like,
What? That's an insane thing to say.
I feel so embarrassed that I defended Abdul El Sayed.
Like Batya straight up lied to her face.
Bunger of a cod.
Straight up was just like, well,
don't you think it's really fucked up that you're defending Abdul El Sayed?
When Abdul El Sayed said, no Jew should ever hold elected office.
That's like, I'm paraphrasing a little bit,
but it's not that off base as to what she said.
Bunger of a cod.
Valhussan Piker.
Why?
Because there are voices on the right,
reaching young men.
There are voices on the right,
reaching sections perhaps of the voting base,
saying things that you, I would presume,
consider particularly radical.
And your response to that is,
find a radical antithesis.
Find a radical response.
And no matter who that is,
And in this case, it is a son piker.
And that suggests that you have no moral mooring.
You have no anchor, no nothing.
If the opponent in your mind is reaching some audience, your response is, find something
equally as radical to reach that audience.
My response is not, there's no equivalence between myself and Nick Fuentes.
This is what the problem is.
In some respects, I would say that the broader movement of like the Republican Party is somewhat closer to Nick Fuentes in ideology than the Democrats are broadly to my ideology, right? Socialism.
Because there is this friction, there's this permanent friction, antagonism between liberal capitalism and socialists, right?
I guess social democracy is the closest you can arrive at, managing that friction, which is part
of the reason why most of the socialists, if not all of the socialists elected, actually run
on a platform of social democracy, higher degrees of socialization, with an idea of like, you know,
moving in the direction of socialism later down the line. However, however,
there's definitely less ideological friction between Nick Fuentes' Odeous Worldview
and Donald Trump's. It's just Donald Trump is not going hard enough as far as what Nick Fuentes was.
He wants to, you know, create a white only white Christian nationalist country and Donald Trump is
not going to do that obviously. No American president is going to do that because it actually harms
the interests of capital if you were to deport that many people that fast. However, however,
However, there is also one thing that Nick Fuentes has done his entire career, which is
openly lean into Holocaust denial, openly lean into being a neo-Nazi defending Adolf Hitler.
There is no moral equivalence on the left to doing so, no matter how hard liberals try.
Liberals could turn around and say, no, what are you talking about?
Zedong, Stalin, all of these people, they're exactly the same as Adolf Hitler, if not worse,
but the reality of the matter is there's no academic response.
Anyone who is well-read enough understands that there is no comparison between the two.
You can disagree with communism, you can disagree with socialism, there's many different
ways of doing socialism, there's many different ways of doing communism, but at the end
to the day, fascism is something entirely different.
Fascism requires the cleansing, the ethnic cleansing of the outgroup, okay?
Whereas under different socialist formations, different degrees of socialization, though,
certainly with democratic socialists, like their goal is to abide by a process of reforms
in the direction of achieving socialism. I don't know if it'll be successful,
but that's what democratic socialists are trying broadly, okay? And especially at this formation
is just basic social democracy. So there's no, there's no equivalence between the two.
Because I don't really know a lot of active socialists and communists in the United States of America especially
That won't
That won't say the excesses are real. The violence was real, right?
I mean some people say oh, it's authoritarianism and like leave it at that
There's actually many anti communists
that are both in dsa
And and all around especially in the western world. I guess like
There is no
There is no demand from me at least to do something that Nick Fuentes is trying to do,
which requires tremendous amounts of violence and the death and destruction or at least the
ethnic cleansing of an entire subset of the population. None whatsoever.
So at a certain point, no matter what happens, you end up yelling at a guy who just wants
wants to fucking give Americans health care, wants to stop endless militarism, whereas on
the other side, the other side that the person that you're comparing me to is a Holocaust
denier and is writing for concentration camps, death, destruction, genocide, for our neighbors
that live here in the same way that it once happened in Nazi Germany.
It's ridiculous.
That's the reason why, yeah, guy who said, your body, my choice on Trump's election night.
Like, I'm a guy who fucking promotes Jeffrey Epstein, like his merchandise is the Jeffrey
Epstein merchandise.
There's no comparison.
That's why the comparison I use is, you know, to Charlie Kirk, and even then there's significant
differences between myself and Charlie Kirk, because Charlie Kirk worked within the confines
of the Republican Party.
I work outside of the Democratic Party.
So there's that as well.
Francis finds them the equally as radical. That's still good. That's still moral. I finished
my first commentary by saying he's not saying anything that I believe in dangerous Jewish
people. He said that he's on Piper. Yes. Yeah, this is shocking for Wilcane because
he'll go, he'll now run the ADL checklist. Okay. My criticism is on Israel and Israel
only. Okay? It's on Israel's actions. I, as a matter of fact, do the only non-antisemitic
thing in my commentary that seemingly defenders of Israel and haters of Israel actually don't do,
which is, hi Israel to Judaism. Okay? I don't do that. I don't believe that a nation state
represents the entirety of a religion. I think that's fucking ridiculous.
Israel is not a representation of Judaism. No more than Saudi Arabia is a representation of Islam.
Neither are correct. Israel does not represent Jews in the same exact way that ISIS does not
represent Islam.
I have heard him say many times that he believes in the dignity of the Jewish people.
I'm Jewish myself, right and I've heard yesterday or a couple of days ago
What the fuck does that have to do with Judaism Wilcain like he went from Hassan doesn't endanger Jews to like
Well, what do you say about America's there of 9-11 fucking boomer?
He had to hit the he had to hit the Rick rip core you though. Well, what about the 9-11?
What the fuck does that have to do with Jews, man?
His own daughters.
What about when he says America deserved 9-11?
I think that that was clickbait.
In the same way that Donald Trump had dinner with Nick Fuentes, he knows that it's clickbait.
It's BS.
It's not the real policy, it's not what's actually happening.
There's a trove of these things.
Unfortunately, that's the only one I can pull off the top of my head from memory.
There are other videos.
coming out day by day of things that he has said, and the newsworthy item here is not
that there is a commentator out there on the internet saying something wild, but that there
are Democrat candidates who have decided to go arm in arm with that person out on stage,
to have that person campaign with him.
And of all the things that I've been surprised by today, I think the only one that surprises
me is you saying, no, no, don't disavow that.
Why?
Because you've got to reach those voters.
I didn't, I didn't say, I didn't say get rid of him completely.
And I didn't say bring him up with you.
I said, people at an arm's length, you need their attention.
The most valuable to all of your viewers, the most valuable commodity in the entire
world is your attention. Right.
I'm not saying that you need to compromise your principles in any way.
I'm saying that is he, is he disliked by some people? Yes.
But it's not compromising your principles to have him with you.
Has he said some crazy things? Yes. But he said some really good things too.
That's why he has something like 10 million followers, right? And you need the attention
of those people. It's the same game that's being played on the right that's been played
many times. The whole court movement was who voted for Donald Trump in the first place in
the first election. That's how this works. You don't have to compromise your values.
You just have to make sure you get an effort on the test.
Donald Trump won the presidency two times, he ran the presidency three.
Oh, so then it's okay. Never mind, dude.
Okay. So if the candidates that I fucking log arms with end up winning their elections,
will you shut the fuck up? Because I can point to one candidate that I locked arms with that
won his general election. His name is Zora Mamdani, and you haven't shut the fuck up
since then.
So what's up?
Three times, record votes three times.
Not because he got the Groyper movement.
He won that because he got union workers, former Democrats, the widest ideolog-
I wish she never apologized for this.
This was perfectly fair.
She even says like keep him at an arms distance.
She must have gotten a boss call or some.
I mean, I think this was a pretty normal fucking response.
It's correct.
believe you have to apologize for saying correct things. Yes, the totality of my output is clearly
one directional, and that is the reason why it is always people to my right that are fucking chirping.
The totality of my output is left economic populism broadly. Okay? That's what I want.
I want Medicare for all. I want universal childcare. I want a federal jobs guarantee.
I want better labor protections. I want to bring back manufacturing in this country. I want to end
all of our wars. I want to use all of our productive output on ourselves and not in endless wars
of profit and plunder at the behest of capitalist pedophiles.
I want to abolish ICE. I want to hold the police force accountable. I want police to do
their jobs. I want to dramatically change our carceral structure so that we actually
have a lower rate of recidivism so that people can integrate back into society after they've
done crimes. I want to rebuild and repair our infrastructure. These are not concepts
that are radical. No matter how hard you try to present them as radical. And as a
matter of fact, the real fear here is that most Americans also agree with these concepts.
That's the reason why they have to turn it into something insane.
None of the things that I just said is fucking woke, okay?
Most people, if you were to ask them, do you agree with these values?
Do you agree with these policies?
They would say, yes, yes, absolutely.
This is the majority position.
But we can't have a normal and sincere conversation around these sorts of positions
Because those positions compromise the profit of corporations.
The profit margins of corporations are absolute.
That's the only thing that these mercenaries in the DC bubble, the consultants, the media class care about,
being loyal servants to capital.
And therefore, they do everything in their power to disparage.
They do everything in their power to smear people who are saying these sorts of things.
That's it. That's why you have to hyper-focus on choice quotes and bastardize my worldview.
You know? Because you can't have a normal conversation. That's also precisely the reason why these guys
don't want to have me on their shows. Because they, I think deep down inside, they recognize
that while it would make for great television, it would actually destroy the image that
they are cultivating of me. Right? Because if we were to have a normal back and forth conversation,
they would understand that these positions are endlessly agreeable and not only that, but very
popular. And it's not a secret. I know that this has been successful. I know that it's been popular
because my community has a bunch of people who are former Trump Republicans, people who have
voted for Donald Trump in the past. People who found themselves in the right wing rabbit hole.
That's why I know. I know it works. I know it's effective.
They cannot tackle the message. So they try to disparage the messenger. They try to make you
into someone that no one should listen to. This is an unserious guy. He's a dangerous terrorist.
This is a dangerous radical.
Don't listen to him.
He doesn't have your best interest at heart.
Meanwhile, it is it's actually these mercenaries that don't have the best
interest of the American public at heart.
Just like how it can be that way.
Totally ridiculous stuff.
A spectrum of voters in a generation.
That's why you won the presidency.
You keep dismissing is it because somehow gathered some radical online fringe that you're now
cultivating.
You said one true thing today that I do think is sad that the modern American currency is
attention.
It's even sadder.
Dog, you're a Fox News host.
You know that you live it every day of your life.
Yeah, it's sad.
You made it this way.
You know what I mean?
This motherfucker is staring at a house fire with a Molotov cocktail in his hand going,
Oh man, what a sad state of affairs this has been, huh?
Who's burning down the house?
That your antidote to that is to say, yeah, whatever it takes,
let's put everyone's attention on our way to the Senate.
I do not believe that you should do whatever it takes.
I do not believe that you should compromise yourself.
And I think that the only thing that gets people elected
these days is courage, period.
So let me be clear.
The courage would be saying,
Hassan Piker should be disavowed.
That's what I'm saying.
I would hope from Democrats and I think that some other Democrats feel the same way according to this reporting from Puck is
Disavowing anyone that says America deserved 9-11 listen Madeline. This was a sincere conversation
It wasn't my attempt. It's cable news gotcha surprised by some of your answers and I appreciate you having the conversation
Thanks. Well appreciate it. All right. All right coming up
It's kind of crazy. He was just like, he's like begging her. He's like, please, why
won't you disavow him? What do you mean defend him? Well, now we know the real antidote that
really breaks these guys is defense. I feel bad that she did that. I feel bad that she
It was forced to apologize.
As I mentioned in a funny video, what is this?
bastard Barack Obama or Che Guevara both sound ethnic in a way I don't like
Hillary Clinton is a socialist who's saying who's saying Joe Manchin is a
communist Obama care more like County care here discuss Megan McCain what
happened to the party of Bill Clinton today President Obama only drumstruck
12 children begging the question is the president fighting for US or fighting
for ISIS. James Cardeville is his socialist. Here to discuss is the senator from Pennsylvania,
John Fetterman.
Please Israel good. Hassan bad.
The Democratic party is-
I love this dude man he's fucking hilarious. Anyway listen I did seven hours I'm tired
chat. I'm gonna end it here, okay? We didn't do a lot of fun stuff today. And I apologize.
Tomorrow we'll take a look at why Asmongold left and what he is saying. We covered a lot
a good ground today and we will have more fun stuff in the books coming up tomorrow.
Half day Hossie is back, you know, just a seven hour broadcast. Gaming frogs are so hungry.
