Have you ever heard someone mention the stri-sand effect and wondered what they were talking about?
This phenomena is named after actress Barbara Stri-Sand.
Sometimes when you try to cover something up, you end up bringing more attention to it than
if you would just let things be.
Open the devil's side, Mike!
Open the devil's side!
The Assemblyman will not denounce
Hassan Piper who said,
America deserve 9-11, dude.
The Assemblyman just said in his response
Hassan Piper says America deserve 9-11.
There you go!
There you have it.
My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty.
Now to the Michigan Senate race
where El Sayed is campaigning in Michigan,
appearing on stage at two Michigan campaign rallies.
He's coactively campaigning alongside Piker.
The man who said Hezbollah's flag is his favorite because it's dope.
Why would you align yourself for a raging anti-Semite price?
Who has defended Hamas terrorists?
Calling them a lesser of two minutes, Israel's compared to the government's evils.
A lesser of two minutes.
That's what I find a bridge too far.
When I went up to my good friend, Chad, and said,
Hey, can you walk me through some more controversial statements of a son Piker?
Even Chatsy beats me one out of its way to soften the edges of the song and give me context.
Thanks, but no thanks.
Chatsy beats you.
The song, Piker, is campaign poison.
Placing yourself on the wrong side of a 9 and 10 issue is only going to make you look bad.
It's going to be good for me.
It's going to be good for the candidates that I work with.
Turns out it was true.
Abdul El Sayed at 27% over larger.
Mayor Kuros, everybody.
Mayor Kuros, huh?
Welcome to the broadcast.
Thank you for having me.

For those of you who are wondering what the fuck is going on and why my internet is dogshit,
it's because I live in Los Angeles, California and my internet service provider.

It's gonna knock out everything. I'm going to run outside of during the hurricane so it knocks me out
Okay
I'm gonna dive headfirst into the hurricane and kill myself that way in a video game. Okay
Now they're saying you and Abdul are gay together. Wait, what?
New development and Abdul I'll say it X Hassan Piker obsession. What if they're gay together? He's stuck to him
He's married to him
I don't know if he believes in two men marrying each other
But he and Hassan Piker are politically married and there is no divorce
What hurricane? We got a hurricane coming up on our southwestern coast, California, SoCal.
Coming from Ari Fleshlight? Yeah. Alright, anyway, that's crazy. I like that they're
just, they're not even hiding the weird sexual obsession that they have with not
My sopa with Abdul as well. It's very strange. Laura Ingram is talking about how sexy he is in his tight black t-shirt
Even a Smith disavows you hell. Yeah, that's my goat love that
You can't get you can't get across any point without having to disavow Hasan Hasan I'm a piker anyway
Are you inspired by these suits? Yes, Pat Riley a godfather of the NBA. Yes
Yes, incredible. I need, I need this. This is what I need.
Full Georgia Armani suits in the 80s. I'm literally currently wearing a Georgia Armani suit from the 80s, ironically enough.
Please condone for your own sake.
say, choose, assemble, not to attack with hate, not to answer anger with anger. Attack with love.
When they spread lies, we spread truth. When they spread hate, we spread love.
I'm from Israel and I love this. I'm from Israel and this is my favorite.
Yeah, he's great. I love this. I think more of this, please.
Right. When they try to divide us, we unite millions of Jews, one voice, one mission.
It's time to assemble. Jews assemble.
Even a Smith asked Abdul about you and was impressed.
Wait, when does this, when did this happen?
What I'm saying is there are 3 million people who listen to this song.
I want to offer them a pathway into an electoral movement where rather than sit us outside of
the electoral system, they see a pathway around the things that.
Alright, we'll get to this in a second. He's a stray shooter, I'm a stray shooter. I think
Stephen A. Smith would appreciate my commentary. Anyway, we'll get to that. Hold on. We're
watching Captain Israel, bro. Not to attack with hate, not to answer anger with anger.
I love this. I love this. What do you mean? This is my favorite. This is my favorite captain.
Okay, please. Please. I need my internet to work today. Please. He sounds like ex-UC. He
is ex-UC. That's ex-UC. All right. Let's blast off. Let's get it twisted. Let's get it going.
Not much going on in my life as far as personal news goes obviously there's like
You know there I'm doing interviews doing interviews the independent media and
I'm doing
That's it. Honestly. I'm doing interviews within independent media
Waiting for a mainstream outlets or some mainstream Alice as well
They are trying to cope. What is this cope with what?
Brace-Beldin is wearing Susan. I know I know I know
Get in now
Feminist icon glorious thym has passed away at the age of 92 folks Trump wants ice to interfere in midterms
Do we have a blast off meme or not? They're gonna draft us to die for Israel. Yes
Yes, and that's awesome. I like that I am a fan of that I
See no issue with this are you are you an anti-Semite?
True question the answer is yes, you must be
if you are saying that's not wait one minute Hassan Abi new poo poo Bennett big anniversary
coming up maybe not good morning Air Jordan is taxing for takeoff legendary basketball
great Michael Jordan is getting. Wait, which one? What is the big anniversary? Is it the
the Kirk aversary? Where are you talking about 9 11? Because, you know, because that's both
her big days. Maria Fartaromo got fired from Fox. Yeah, I saw I saw that gift blast off.
That's crazy, bro. That's why did you do my uncle like that, man?
Dude, dude, dude
You made up bounce on it, dude, I'm not using that give it's disrespectful
I'm not using it that shaky Gerga we have to defend shaky Gerga
He is
He is my number one defender. Okay, my number one defender. Will you be my kirk in time?
Gross, I don't want to see the I don't want to see Kirk vacation
You weren't being a shut ass loser this bit has been doing numbers and getting attention about the split among conservatives on
Flock and whatnot. What is this conservative ink influencers a group chat? Yeah, this forbidden headquarters
account
I've seen a lot more
I've seen a lot more conservative Inc. Or no forbidden headquarters account posts on the timeline
They're very strange because they love I think they love Alex Jones. They're like big Nick Fuentes fans
Pretty sure they're like
Nazi adjacent, I guess but you can't really be Nazi adjacent. He's a neo-nazi if you're not see Jason
But yeah, they they cook they absolutely cook the the
the pro-Israel right? But then they also make fun of Nick Fuentes too sometimes. I just don't know
what is going on with them. I think they might be like Candace heads.
No, no, this is a real Republican conspiracy adjacent, like pro-Alex Jones, pro-Candace Owens,
and like vehemently against like Tim Pool and Ben Shapiro account.
you're scared of flock cameras you carry a cell phone with GPS all day what's
the difference it's not a war we're just bombing Iran we need the data centers
we have to win the AI race oh my god shut the hell up about Epstein already
gas costs more so what it's worth it if Iran doesn't get a nuke if you've
You've got nothing to hide. Why do you care if they track you?
America's finally great again.
I think a decent number of people like this on the internet actually live in the European
Union by the way.
genuinely, I feel like a lot of these guys are not even in the United States of America.
Even though there are some versions of these guys, I mean, one of them is obviously,
one of them is obviously Asmongold, but what is this? What is this? They're trying to,
they're trying to roll with it. Maga Inc, conservative Inc is rolling. This man is a
great American, the best. Oh, boy. Thank you, sir. I'm giving you the medal of freedom. Wow,
the medal of freedom for me. You deserve it. The best.
What are they trying to the lean it the fact that they're trying to roll with the punches
here is absolutely hilarious. Yeah, I don't know. Look, look, there is, there is definitely
a real, there is definitely a real fissure in the conservative movement. I mean, one
example that I will use is Tucker Carlson, who straight up came out and basically
did a endorsement with Sager on Abdul Al-Sayed, which I thought was unique, because I was wondering,
I'm like, why is Tucker Carlson not promoting an America first candidate like Abdul Al-Sayed,
who is very critical of Israel being attacked endlessly by the same forces that attack him?
Why is he not saying anything about this?
Like what's that about right that was that was interesting hunter Biden said you called him. Yeah, I have talked to hunter Biden
Look I've been willing to I called his son
Yeah, I've talked to hunter
Okay, you know that son said when my dad got him for a cancer
He said that he hopes he dies a horrible horrible death that's far worse than cancer. And you know what? I picked up the phone
Recently and called us on
I said look I
Know what you said about my dad? I know that you in some way defended me and I know that you've said outrageous things
But you know what I'd be willing to talk to you
This is real this is real and true
Private phone calls. Yes, I have I talked to Hunter I talked to Hunter because I was gonna have him on the stream
I've explained this to you guys already
Okay, I have explained this to you guys already the reason why I find I find Hunter Biden to be a fascinating figure
I've talked about this already. I've like it was his number one defender for the longest fucking time
um but I don't know how to to broach the subject of like oh my god it's f-ing again
it's like a baby f is baby f calm down it's baby f it's gonna be fine we're gonna be we're gonna
be alright okay we're gonna be okay we're gonna be alright we're gonna be okay we're gonna be all
right we're gonna get through it together okay it's everything is gonna be all right everything
going to be Ari. But yeah, I tried to figure out what the most productive way to have this
conversation would look like because I obviously have tremendous disdain for his dad and he
obviously loves his dad. So I just don't know how we can have a productive conversation
uh together while we still you know work through uh work through joe biden's uh
actions man we're really gonna hiccup our way through the day huh yes yes it's gonna
hopefully be fixed eventually kaya where are you going
hello hello hi oh my god
Who's a big fat lady get him to condemn his dad? He's not gonna do that. He loves his dad. His dad has protected him
You know also, that's his dad. What do you do the question is really like
The question I find really unique and really interesting is like what do you do when your dad is?
The president of the United States of America and is responsible for so much
so much death
What what what?
Uh-oh, uh-oh, what oh slobber no her slobber everywhere
Look at this look at this look at this oh she's like I'm done all right I'm getting back
on my throne. Fuck you. Oh, what the hell? What the hell?
Today is chaos, dude. Today is chaos day. Okay.
I'm out of here. Fuck this. How was your workout? It was fine. It wasn't great, but
it wasn't terrible either. Yeah, yeah. All right. Bro, I'm worried that it will be crack for them to
frame it as though Hunter tried to talk to the two extremists, Nick and Hassan. I don't really
I really gave a shit about that.
Uh, where was I?
What was I going to talk about?
Anyway, yeah, that's.
I grew up with the son of the minister president of my country.
The guy doesn't have public appearances, so obviously be different,
but they definitely disagree on things in private.
Yeah.
Do you son after your workout?
No.
I do not.
Look at this, look at this, look at this, look at this.
Elon, he's cooking again.
Internet weirdo, are Jews white?
No one.
Absolutely no one.
Elon Musk, yeah let me chime in here.
People are what they appear to be beyond that unless they can cite specific ACTG sequences
for their cell or mitochondrial DNA that somehow defy appearances.
It's all in their mind.
I met so many people who look extremely European in every way and tell me they're Jewish.
Well, maybe there are a few OG Jewish ACTG sequences in there somewhere, but clearly not many.
Where's the list of these ACTG sequences? He's like,
what the fuck? Elon Musk is so weird, brother.
He is so strange. This gotta be Grog, right? Grog, give me the ACTG sequences of Jews.
You know?
You know?
Guy who watched Gadica once?
You haven't grogged it in a while, I know.
Well, Elon is grogging his shit right now.
They're just admitting it now.
What is this?
It's abhorrent.
It's abhorrent.
Yeah, and I should disclose I'm working for Mike Rogers on his race, but Abdul has invited
Hassan Piker in four times.
That's how-
Yeah, I'm not working for Abdul.
You're talking about me.
Meanwhile, you're working for Mike Rogers.
What is going on?
That's awesome.
What the hell?
You know what?
To our pleasure, I say, what gives?
Okay.
That's what I have to say about that.
Second clip suggests you and Abdul are gay together.
Yeah.
I know.
He said we're gay married.
And then he did like a weird remark about how Abdul wouldn't, you know, Abdul wouldn't
be in favor of gay marriage. These guys are freaks, man. They're so strange. They're so
odd. I don't really understand it. I mean, this is what the, this is the, the, the driving
motivator of the right. Uh, nowadays this is what they do anyway, because I understand
the rage because you know in some ways
not even remote as it relates to a bombing of a cancer hospital in the
death of twenty three thousand innocent Palestinian children
not even remotely as it relates to the death of close to a hundred thousand
innocent Palestinians
not Hamas members Palestinians right now
not even remotely to the idea of what that Jared Kushner and Donald Trump are
doing now and they're going to
turn Gaza into a golf court or what's happening on the west bank or
40 years of oppression, not even remotely. But you know what? That ranges in me. That
ranges in me because of the way in which I was treated, but not, there's no, I'm not making
a comparison. But you understand? My point is, is that if I expect grace from other people,
for my- Brianna calling out the Democrats. Wait, what? Brianna Joyce calling out the Democrats.
As long as a fraction of this respect for the left is he supports.
Breonna Joy Gray is attacking the Democrats. What? Stop. That's, someone needs to alert
the press is stop the press is right now. Has everybody, have you, this is shocking.
a subtle dig at me too and the candidates that we've propped up, which is again, double
the trouble. It is remarkable. I never really thought I would see the day. I can't believe
it. Look, I like Breonna, by the way. If many people in this community or many people in
the broader left movement are very angry with her. I like her. I like the space she occupies.
I'm happy to have a diverse voice in the left movement broadly. But if you're shocked by
the fact that she's attacking the Democrats, then let me tell you, this is the least shocking
event of all time.
I thought you were talking about Rihanna? No, I'm talking about Rihanna Joy Gray.
Anyway, and we blasted off, we have, but, you know, it's been patchy.
It's been a rough, rough start today.
Yeah.
Maria Bartaramo is out of Fox.
We'll be talking about that.
I don't know what that means.
We'll talk about Gloria Steinem as well, but I'm here listening.
I'm willing to give grace to people who have a righteous indignation over this issue in
particular.
And so for you, I 100% get it.
I don't have an explanation, Maddie.
I certainly know this is that I have no control over it, but I do know this is that my dad's
empathy does extend there.
And he may not have shown it.
And that may be.
Yeah, I use this is the this is the reason why it's like it's a tough it's tough talk
It's just like it's hard. I say this is someone who likes hunter biden
Who obviously despises his dad?
Who didn't actually despise his dad all that much when he pulled out of afghanistan and was a firm defender of that decision?
It's just, you know, I don't know how much of a like a sincere conversation we can have there because he's just he loves his father
Okay, but what do you do in that situation? What do you do when your dad is is, you know
Responsible for so much death so much destruction
What do you do in that situation how do you how do you parse through
How do you parse through how do you separate Joe Biden?
uh, genocide Joe, Joe Biden, the president, Joe Biden, the ultra Zionist, and, and Joe Biden, the dad, Joe Biden, my father, you know.
You and chunky yogurt when it kisses Tucker, it's different from your father enables and perpetuates genocide.
So yeah, what? Dude, are you kidding me? You can't make a comparison between Jank, like
hugging Tucker Carlson and stuff, and like literally materially supporting a genocide
of an entire population. That's, you know, I think if Jank was responsible for a genocide,
I would probably cut ties with him completely. Or at least I like to think I would. I think
I would, but, but I'm fortunate enough to never know what I would do in a situation like that.
Right.
Yeah, shaky Gerga.
Today, Tucker Croson said, Abdul will say it was better than Mike Rogers. Tucker
represents a big block of voters. They go for Abdul. This could be over and says the
president, whoever is more American wins the race. If you want to represent someone else,
we all vote against you. Yeah, I don't know how much Tucker Carlson's word matters amongst
like the Republicans, lifelong Republicans in Michigan. I do think that a lot of Republicans
still listen to Tucker though. It's so strange, man. It is a very strange phenomenon because
I whenever I'm around chuds, I ask them, like, do you still watch Tucker Carlson?
And there is still a lot of prestige for Tucker, a lot of influence, like Tucker, people still
listen to him.
But I am fascinated with the mind of the chud.
So you watch Tucker Carlson basically rip into Donald Trump, but you think Donald Trump
is God?
How does that work?
Like Trump is still number one, right?
That's number one.
That's the guy.
That's the goat.
But they really like Tucker too and it's very strange.
It's a very strange thing and I'm sure some of you have immediate relatives that are in
this weird dynamic as well where they love Tucker Carlson, they watch Tucker Carlson
but they also really love Donald Trump.
And I am not, I don't know what to make of that necessarily.
I don't know how that works.
Like, how do you sit there, watch Tucker Carlson shit on Trump, say he's the antichrist.
love him, but then also simultaneously love Donald Trump and love Donald Trump
even more than you love Tucker Carlson if we're being real. So I, yeah,
Obdullize JD Vance's permission to be your friend speaking to Tucker.
Third-way condemn you, but here they are praising Stephen Miller. Wait, what?
What? Immigration reform should mean something else entirely. It should mean improvements
to our laws and policy to make life better for American citizens. I'd love if Dem said
this as much as I hate to admit it. Stephen Miller wrote those words. This is the director
of social policy for third way.
Decentrist think tank, third way that is spending 15 mil, attacking me and Abdul is giving credit
to modern-day gobbles, more like Third Reich, more like Third
position more like third Reich.
The centrist think tank third way.
and spending 50 male tagging Abdul and I is giving credit to modern day Gervils.
Interesting.
Interesting stuff.
Their justification for why they gave credit is even more ridiculous.
If your opponent has been winning at something for more than a decade, it's irresponsible not to consider what they might be doing right and what you might be doing wrong, especially when the thing that they're doing right is simple as appealing to voters. Oh my God.
God forbid you appeal to voters on the issue of Israel though. Hmm, interesting. I liked that these guys are literally like, no, no, no, you don't understand.
If you appeal to voters on Israel, you should be deported. Also, we, as the Democratic Party, should be responsible for your deportation.
Yeah, Medicare for all ignored.
Anti-Israel sentiment ignored. It's interesting because those are very popular positions. Why is third way? So antagonistic towards those positions?
Hmm. I wonder what's going on there. Hmm. Hmm.
Very interesting.
In any case, we know what's happening. They're fascist collaborators. We know, we know what's up. We know what's happening.
uh...
but these guys anyway
uh... here is jd jetted i advanced being asked about as close and personal
relationship with tucker carlson
colt
u.s.
relations
close relationship
addressing
a lot of issues which may be causing
Well, look, I'm not avoiding addressing anything. Everybody knows that Tucker
Carlson and I are friends, and I think it's very obvious that Tucker has said
some things that I disagree with. He said some things about the president
United States that I think are just wrong. I think yesterday somebody
sent me a clip that said that he would support else. I add over Rogers. I
think else. I had a crazy person and I think whatever your views on Mike
Rogers specific policy prescriptions, I'd like to have a non crazy person
like Mike Rogers representing Michigan and United States Senate rather
than a crazy person like Elsa Ed.
That said, my attitude towards this,
and I try to practice what I preach.
And I remember when I became the vice presidential nominee,
one of the hardest things for me, personally,
is not when people attacked me,
but when people attacked my wife,
including friends of hers who knew her heart,
who knew what a good person she was.
And I remember thinking to myself,
what a travesty it is that in the United States
America we let political disagreements define who our friends are going to be
and not going to be. So yeah Tucker is a friend of mine. Tucker is a friend
despite the fact that we disagree on a number of things and I'm not gonna play
the game where I throw friends under the bus because I have political
disagreements with them. I think that is a terrible place for the United
States to go and if you have a disagreement with somebody politically
even over a deeply held issue you should still be friends with that
person because the whole Republic depends on people of different
perspectives, being able to talk to one another. That's how I try to live my life.
And I encourage everybody else to do the same.
God, I hate this guy so much.
He is so smarmy and so goddamn annoying.
But it is very interesting that this is allowed on the right.
It's allowed on the right. It's just not allowed on the left.
It's not allowed by liberals. It's just a strange, very strange.
You know, very strange.
Anyway, can we get the Conti angle back please?
Sure.
Do you see the GOP caucuses having problems dude?
This is the funniest shit.
Oh my god.
These people are so insane.
Okay.
I'm not even going to get into this.
Oh my god.
What is happening?
It's happening.
Shirley fortnight friday hell yeah all right uh let's start with feminist icon gloria steinem and
then we'll talk about all these other stuff blazing trails and leaving an indelible mark on the
global fight for women's equality this as tributes from around the world are pouring in for gloria
steinem the feminist powerhouse who has died at the age of 92 no cause was given the founder of
of Miss Magazine wasn't just a household name, she was the face of an entire movement
and it's one that incorporated all women, not just those of a certain race or social
class.
Besides being an activist, Dynam was also a celebrated journalist and author who had
a profound impact on American culture and politics.
She was also a lightning rod for conservative criticism for her opposition to traditional
gender roles.
Sarah Seidner has a look back at Gloria Steinem's life and legacy.
Any philosophy that tells us that there's only one way to live has got to be wrong for
some people.
Like few in her generation, journalist and feminist leader Gloria Steinem helped shape
the national dialogue on some of the most contentious issues of our time.
The point is not what we choose, but that we have the right to make a choice.
A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Smith College,
Steinem burst onto the national scene in 1963
with an expose of the working conditions of Playboy bunnies.
She applied for and got a job as a bunny
at the New York Playboy Club to get the inside scoop.
She revealed the long hours and stingy salaries
of women who worked in the clubs
where rich men spent their leisure time.
People pay, people work, no money got around.
Steinem became a tireless advocate
of what came to be called the women's liberation movement.
She was an eloquent and sometimes
point out champion of women's issues,
including equal rights and abortion.
I can assure you as a woman who has had one
that abortion is not a pleasurable experience.
I think Gloria Simon's a really interesting
cultural force and an American figure.
Because on the one hand,
She was obviously quite impactful with her work surrounding feminism, but also on the other hand was a obviously vicious anti-communist that worked with the CIA.
Very interesting figure for that reason, at least from this community's perspective, from
our perspective, it is a truly fascinating figure.
So what do you do?
What do you do when you have like a feminist icon who also, who has done great work, okay,
who's done pretty solid work, who also happens to be a CIA operative?
What do you do?
What does that mean?
What does that mean for her advocacy on feminism?
Does that take away from what she's done?
What does that say about the social movement, the socially progressive forces at the time
their blind spots in particular? Is this simply liberal white feminism? Because the extent of
that analysis
stops short of the one component of intersectionality, whether it be class or whether it be those in
other countries. It's interesting. I find it fascinating. Now, Gloria Steinem, for those
of you who don't know, was outed as a CIA asset many, many years ago, as a matter of fact.
And when she was outed as a CIA asset, she openly said these words, I found the CIA
best journalistic training she continued. She told the post when she was outed that as a CIA asset,
when she was briefly employed by a student organization that received funding from the
CIA to send young non-communist but liberal Americans to interfere with communist youth
festivals in Europe. She later told the post that the agency was completely different from its
image. It was liberal, nonviolent, and honorable. I found the CIA my best journalistic training
she continued, because the one instruction one receives from them is to be accurate,
whereas publications tell you to find an angle.
And of course, the alters on the timeline have been recirculating that footage of me talking
to Anna Casparian about my college internship that I did for a communications class,
as though it's proof that I am also CIA. That's why that's what I saw on the timeline earlier.
I was like, oh, here we fucking go for managing the website. Well, not even the website, but like
doing the graphics design for the website of a DHS program for college credit. Once again,
proves conclusively that I am an agent of the state, the very state that's up my asshole
Every single day, of course, but that's the dupe you guys, obviously
That's to boost my credibility as a
Revolutionary figure so I can sheepdog the potential vanguard back into bourgeois electoral democracy
I love that
definitely
Yes, I know. I saw Sam Hussaini repost that, which is unbelievably stupid. But what do you do?
Wasn't it cicada lamout? Yes.
Was it command control interoperability center for advanced data analysis? That's what it was. It
was like, in some ways, I guess it's like Palantir before Palantir, before AI tools and surveillance
technology. I don't really think much of it. If you did better graphics design, you will still
have global entry. Yeah, no, no, no. All of that is fake. When I got detained, when I got detained
by Customs and Border Patrol, when I was coming into the country and they asked me questions
about, you know, my, my opinions on Israel, that was also a ruse. It was a ruse to make
eight of the most schizophrenic leftists you've ever seen on Twitter think that I might
actually be a real one. It was just to dupe them. You know, it was just to dupe them.
Eight people in a fucking reading group. Again, it was to, it was to boost my credibility
as a real revolutionary.
When I was denied entry into the United Kingdom, it was to also further boost my credibility
as a real revolutionary, except I'm a fake revolutionary.
I'm here to, you know, sheepdog people back into neoliberalism and the Democratic Party
to operate as a subversive
to infiltrate leftist movements, socialist movements
and
to sheepdog everybody back into the the comfortable bosom of the democratic party.
But it's interesting. Glorious thought is an interesting figure because
in some respects
while she did the unthinkable the indefensible
work with the cia with the deliberate attempt
to identify
european communist movements
and and
on ironically do what
people say
i'm doing right the
schizo
uh... commies uh... think i'm doing
on the other hand her writing also
did actually
uh... feature
prominent critiques of class politics as well are not necessarily critiques of
class politics but her writing also featured the importance of labor and
immigrant rights and things of that nature. So I don't know exactly how to
to feel about it. I don't know how to interpret her impact.
Kylie Chung says, I actually grew up reading all of her works and books about her, so I
know everything and I agree with everything and I deeply disagreed with, agreed with and
everything I deeply disagree with. So I don't need her explained to me by people whose
knowledge of her is limited to a screenshot of an article headline. Actually scratched
I genuinely didn't know this. Oh, yeah, she was Christian Bale stepmother as well
Not just fair but important to criticize doing cultural propaganda for the CIA which I find
Indefensible that said some of the other critiques ie she separated feminism from class politics confused me because a huge chunk of her work
Was labor organizing with women and migrant workers plus no one person could separate feminism from class politics because they're inseparable
Abortion access is class politics abortion bans and trap women and pregnant people in poverty and domestic violence all that
That said, I deeply disagree with certain swerve positions she held because and on other things,
etc.
People I really respect will see things differently.
I don't even think they're wrong.
I just hold a personal appreciation for the fact I'd have no ability or platform to speak
my mind slash publicly disagree with certain feminists who came before me if it weren't
for those feminists work.
Great take from Kylie and a nuanced perspective from a fan of Gloria Steinem.
It is only a last resort and if the anti-abortion forces were not also anti-
Um, she was not a TERF stop saying that no I think she was a she was a SWERF right?
I mean that's normal for that time period to be fair.
Like contraception and anti-sex education in the schools we would have millions fewer
abortions.
Oh, she was a TERF?
Well, regardless, regardless, bro, bro, bro, bro.
You also have to once again remember, it's like getting mad at the suffragettes for having
like otherwise very reactionary points of view from our modern understanding, right?
Like yeah, these are, you have to interpret whether or not a person, a figure is a historically
progressive force or not, and Gloria Steinem was a historically progressive force while
also being a spook at the same time.
you were the one who coined the phrase reproductive freedom.
Now how did that happen?
It was reproductive rights, reproductive freedom,
but clearly the ability to control,
to make decisions over our own physical selves
is fundamental to democracy.
In sane range, yeah.
Because democracy did not in the beginning
include fee-earning.
How are you so much of a CIS, dude?
You literally said,
well, one point I was cringe and bad.
What are you talking about?
are liberal, CI assets are your best mates. Come on, Ryan Grimm and others. Why would you act like
you never talk to assets? How can you cry for the CIA pig? More terfs you love. How are you so
much of a CIS dude? This is what I'm talking about when I say like, I'm gonna be honest. I think
these guys are wreckers. I genuinely can't tell if this is like a sincere, I genuinely can't
tell if this is like a sincere person who is just genuinely insane, like hysterical, and so
understandably worried about infiltrators that you kind of end up losing your mind a little bit,
or if you are a CIA agent. You know what I mean? Bro, you literally came to the right-wing
talking point on woke like imagine imagine saying that this is your this was when you when you found out
this is when you realize that i was a i was a a government operative because i caved to woke
do you fucking hear yourself do you hear yourself when you type words like this and then hit enter
does it ever make you feel a little embarrassed that you your determination on whether or not
What is a fucking CIA agent revolves around something as immaterial as your inability to comprehend
What I was saying about woke 1.0 versus woke 2.0 bitch woke 1.0 2.0 distinctions came from this community
It then took on a life of its own and I have talked about it extensively since this became the main point of contention
Okay
What is it? Is the CIA actually doing woke or is the CIA now doing anti-woke?
Which one is it that the CIA?
Intercept leftist movements and big identity politics and radical liberalism as a substitute for hardline
Economic policy as a substitute for class politics or is it now a right-wing movement?
And it's actually it's actually the CIA is doing to unwind
The the hollow nature of identity politics that they use as a fucking tool
for decades. There is different schools of thought on this. All of them are CIA.
Everything is CIA. I'm CIA. Your dad is CIA. We're all CIA. All the while, all the
while, I'm being hounded by the fucking federal government. I can't even travel
to the United Kingdom. I have been presented as the number one op by
establishment Democrats and the entirety of the Republican Party, the entirety of
the fucking actual Psyop, that is the the 4-Chain griper movement. It's
unbelievably stupid. Sometimes you look at all of these different forces
coalescing around, identifying a threat, and if you still think like, oh no, there's
like something afoot here. This is a real massive cover-up. The guy who is
expressly anti DHS anti CIA is actually secretly a CIA agent you have to you have
to think about these issues beyond you have to think about these issues beyond
how it serves you at the center of the story beyond how it makes you feel at
at the center of the story, okay?
Because it is unbelievably narcissistic
to think that the government has created
this super comprehensive PSYOP
to just trick someone like you into believing
that someone like myself is actually
being perceived as a threatening figure
by the established powers, okay?
No one cares about you.
They barely started caring about me as of late
because this movement has its legs now.
Do you understand?
If at any point you think,
if at any point you think
that the American government has identified
eight Marxist Leninists as like the real revolutionary vanguard
and therefore they're trying to take someone
who has a heterodox approach to American politics and then use that person as a sheepdog into
getting you and eight of your fucking friends in your reading group to go vote for Democrats,
you are delusional, okay?
You are a victim of gang stalking.
You are a quote-unquote targeted individual at that point, and it stems from narcissism.
The way that you approach American politics is unbelievably self-centered if you think
that these forces, these powerful forces have designed a sophisticated propaganda campaign
to make you and eight of your friends in a reading group
feel like one fucking twitch streamer is actually
uh...
uh... a a significant threat but it's all designed
just to make you
support someone like myself you don't have to
you and eight of your buddies
do not have to support me
you don't have to at all
but you have to understand this delusion comes from
narcissism
Why the fuck would the CIA give a shit about you and eight of your buddies voting for the Democrats or not dumbass?
Huh?
Eight is generous. I know I'm being generous because probably six of those guys are actual CIA assets.
So it's just him and one other guy who sincerely
are are gonna build the vanguard any moment now
and then it's like six other agents that are trying to entrap them into doing
something like come on
time for direct action comrade
What is this?
You guys so pressed being called out for liking transphobia CIA agents?
The guy, this guy thinks the CIA can do only one thing.
Brother I'mma be honest with you if you think the CIA is trying to capture your attention.
fucking stupid. Okay, that you're, you're refusing to contend with the words that are coming out
of my mouth. You're refusing to understand what I'm saying. Okay, we are still in a growing movement.
Okay, we're still in a growing movement. And this is the first line of attack,
because now some powerful forces feel a sense of threat.
Brother, you literally do not know what I'm saying. I've told you you're not CIA. You talked to people who are okay. Everyone is CIA. Yes. Yes. Everyone is CIA.
And I'm a collaborator with CIA.
Because I said Gloria Steinem is an interesting figure because of her, because on the one hand, she's done a lot of work for the American feminist movement.
on the other hand, she was literally a fucking CIA agent. So what is the limitation there that I
want to explore today, but I can't get a word in edgewise without fucking people coming in to yell at me?
What work? I forget it's like it's called like a student. It was a research group or something
that was specifically employed by the CIA to go to communist youth festivals in Europe and
interfere and intercept, identify. Yeah, this is what I was talking about. So Gloria Steinem
did all this work for reproductive rights, for women's rights, and then turned around and worked
and was employed by the agency, right?
Steinem was briefly employed by a student organization that received funding from the
CIA to send young non-communist, but liberal Americans to interfere with communist youth
festivals in Europe. She later told the Post that the agency was completely different
from its image. It was liberal, non-violent, and honorable. This is wrong. It's heinous
and wrong because this is the peak of CIA's operations, okay? Very different
than the current operations, which are much more crude, much more in-your-face,
much less complex. Nowadays, what is the CIA doing? They're just sending fucking
planes over the coastline of Caribbean nations and, you know, dropping fucking
explosive ordnance on top of fishing boats. Like, that's what the CIA is up
And then killing the prosecutor that's like that has identified this this this military campaign and Operation Southern Spear
Which by the way, I will be interviewing a journalist that they got a
Lot of new information coming out in an Al Jazeera documentary next week
On operation Southern Spear
That's what the CIA is up to
To say that the CIA was a liberal nonviolent and honorable institution at the peak of their fucking
destabilization efforts at the peak of their mania, at the peak of their power, is in fucking sanity, okay?
We're talking about, you know, 10 years after the Shah was reinstalled, we're talking about,
we're talking about the Jakarta method, like this is, you know, at this point the body count of
of the CIA is piling up to, you know, somewhere in the millions, right? The efforts that they
have aided and embedded all around the world, this is the peak of the CIA violence, peak
of CIA destabilization, peak of CIA cooperation with puppet leadership that they installed
that are overtly fascist and anti-communist, right?
And to say that the CIA has no angle is also utterly ridiculous.
Adam Johnson says, yeah, I was a CIA asset, but have you considered they're actually liberal
and don't lie?
Such an amazing overcorrection to being a call on this.
I almost respected fascinating by the idea that the CIA doesn't have an angle.
Did anyone pull on this thread?
Nixon sex symbol the enigmatic Kissinger glorious thought and says Henry is the only interesting person in the whole Nixon administration
So, on the one hand, she's doing great work advancing the feminist cause, advancing reproductive
causes, fighting for women's rights, but also on the other hand, she's aligning with an
organization. She's allotting with an organization that is doing heinous acts of violence towards
women and everybody else overseas.
We didn't necessarily include reproductive freedom.
Her refusal to shy away from hot-budden issues provoked a backlash.
I teach my children to hate just like me. Car cheats, horse leaves, baby killers, and
sodomites.
In 1971, Steinem launched Ms. Magazine, the first national women's magazine run
by women. The preview issue sold out and within five years its circulation reached half a million.
She hobnob with the rich and famous and received the red carpet treatment as a celebrity.
Yeah, like this is Alan Dulles. Yeah, it's just fucking crazy.
Her own right. In September 2000, Steinem married David Bale, father of actor Christian Bale.
They were together for less than four years. Bale died of brain lymphoma at age 62. Steinem
though remained active as a mentor and educator. A 2011 HBO documentary, Gloria in
her own words introduced Steinem to a new generation of women and in 2013
President Barack Obama awarded her the nation's highest civilian honor the
presidential medal of freedom. Her one piece of advice to young girls is I
love this do not listen to my advice listen to the voice inside you and
And follow that
Thanks to Sarah Siden for that and we should note the Equal Rights Amendment something Steinem fought fiercely for throughout her life
Is still not part of the US Congress. She is the reason liberal imperialism exists in the USA glorious
I don't see I said 1950 to 1963
1952 is when the show was reinstalled and so Vogue was formed once the Seattle is a she's the reason liberal
I don't think she's the only reason my liberal imperialism exists in the United States of America man
Like, I get the point. Like, she contributed to it, certainly. But I don't think she was the reason.
Yeah, Gloria Steinem was flying in and teaching the Savak forces to pull people's fingernails as a torture method.
That's what she was doing in a black site.
She personally installed the shop.
It's just funny because on the one hand, I'm like, on the one hand, I'm very critical of this.
On the other hand, I feel like there's a level of worthy critique, and then, you know, sometimes it goes beyond that.
And I feel like, you know, that is, is she why red pillars think feminism is a CIA op?
You think red pillars read? You think red pillars know enough about, uh, you know, subversive elements, uh, within, within CIA's programming that were deeply anti-communist? No, red, red pillars just think like, oh, the woman, woman bad.
Woman make me feel not good because woman won't fuck me. And therefore the CIA and USAID is responsible for this.
I mean, not why not.
Gloria felt his co-founder of take the lead.
Where was this level of nuance when Lindsey Graham died?
Because Lindsey Graham's output was in no way, shape or form positive.
And that's the difference
Women and former president like her and hood and she joins me now live Gloria. Thank you. Lindsey Graham was a gay rights icon
Another Gloria there's something about to Gloria's that is empowering and a real champion for women's rights
So thank you so much for joining us. I'm so sorry. Hello, madam president that it has to be under these
circumstances and for the loss of your friend who lived into her 90s working
until her last day she has a book coming out I believe later this month so
really looking forward to reading that you knew her for decades and everyone's
talking about the aviators her personal look her personal style obviously you're
wrong about this by the way you said we have to remember most of the
American labor unions in the 20th century were explicitly anti-socialist
common isn't directly work with the CIA and federal government at large despite all the gains they cause. I don't see many of the people throwing out the entirety AFL-CIO teamsters or United Farm Workers.
You're literally wrong about this. There are plenty of people who have a reasonable critique about the AFL-CIO. Also, they call it AFL-CIA. So you're very wrong about this.
is, I mean, I guess this is like, deep in, we're now officially deep in, in like, left
territory, deeply embedded in left territory. Um, but, um, but yeah, there's, there is
definitely nuance of the stuff. But having said that, this is also part of the reason why the
black and white narrative sets in for a lot of people because they say, well, this is the labor
aristocracy. This is why labor unions in the United States of America are also antagonistic to any
sort of like broad international socialist movement. Yada, yada, yada. Right? I exist somewhere
in between, I guess. I'm a centrist. The major unions of the 1900s like AFLCI, UFW were
We're explicitly anti-socialist commons who work with the CIA and federal government at large.
They contributed to the CIA's destabilizing actions abroad, but at the same time our progressive forces of history for gains in labor and civil rights.
We have to be nuanced with this, like we are with Steinem.
That's somewhat of my analysis, but I think that we have to be better and not uphold American imperialism if we are on the left.
This doesn't mean that we should be seeking out the destruction of America or whatever kind of like a
fantastical narrative some people
Advance or try to advance
right
That's why I said what I said at the Yale Union if you recall I said the American Empire is
Is is dying it's ending it is upon us to ensure that we regain
control over this process and try to manage the decline of American
empire and manage the retreat of America from its imperial vestiges.
Miss Magazine, tell us about the glorious signum that you knew. Well, thank
you for having me. The first time I actually saw her, I didn't meet her. She
was speaking at when she was 50 years old and the theme of her speech at that time was
this is what 50 looks like and she really gave women the realization that it doesn't
matter what your age is you have something to contribute to the world and I think her
legacy is that more than anything else you have something to contribute to the world
you deserve to have your life you deserve to have the freedom to be who you want
to be. And she also had a great sense of humor, by the way. And she, I will say that even
my own computer calls up Gloria Steinem before when I start typing in my name, Gloria, it
calls up Gloria Steinem first. And so we, we joke with each other that we called each
other our middle names. And my middle name is Anne and her middle name was Marie. So
we distinguished ourselves that way. And so we had a really nice, really nice friendship.
what I want to say about her is she was so kind and generous not worried about the CIA we are already under occupation. What is this that when leaders have the kind holy fuck Democrats voting for the bill to defund American universities that boycott is really companies or institutions including those and settlements.
Oh my god. Oh my god. Final vote. The bill passed the House by a vote of 237 to 169 33 Democrats joined all but two Republicans in voting for it.
Brother, what the hell are we doing, man? Oh my god, every other day there's a new hold of plug.
Controlled opposition party strikes again, dude. Oh my lordy lord, what the fuck.
The people attacking you for nuance here just genuinely don't think feminism is important
as class politics like they're not all apart, like they're not all apart of Western imperialism.
I mean I think if we're being sincere, if we're being honest about feminist history,
I mean, communists have done a great deal of work in the field of feminism far before Western forces got on board with, with this mentality, with this mindset.
Straight up, International Women's Day, etc.
That is a, I know that that will be a clippable moment for a lot of people to be like, what the fuck are you talking about?
And people will yell at me for saying it, but it's true.
You better fucking help primary every single one of these folks in twenty twenty eight.
work on it.
All right, let's continue.
I would say profile and notoriety that she had.
You know, you can get a little bit conceded, I guess I would say.
I don't believe that she ever got that way.
She was always kind, generous.
The last time she did something for take the lead completely,
You know, just as a friend was on our 10th anniversary in 2014 in her living room.
A mutual friend and mentee, Jamila Wilson, interviewed the two of us glorious together.
And that was, she always said yes. I'm just going to say she always said yes.
What was it about her that kept her so grounded, do you think?
I think it was that kindness and generosity.
She was empathetic.
She did have a wicked way of talking about people that she didn't like, and there were
some people she didn't like, but somehow she was the one feminist leader who by and large
everyone could relate to.
People could see her warmth, they could see her empathy, and she used to say to young
women who would say, well, I didn't know who you were, she would say, oh, but do you know
who you are?
And I think that's really an example of her empathy and her kindness.
She broke through so many barriers, so many things that women today just take for granted,
something that she really had to fight through throughout her career, throughout her life,
to come to terms with a world that didn't accept women as equals here in the United
States.
It's hard to believe this was only a few decades ago.
Sexual discrimination in the workforce with women hold up half the sky.
Gloria Steinem said that was just known as life and I agree with her at that point.
And yet despite all of the achievements, reproductive rights, she lived to see Roe
overturned. She was brave enough to come forward and disclose her secret abortion in 1957 when
she was in London. You ran Planned Parenthood for nearly a decade. Where does that leave
her legacy on this particular issue? Social movements are always like that. You take
some steps forward and then there's a backlash and you may take some steps backward. But
I believe that her legacy will continue to rise in power, in strengths, and I confound
and take the lead because I realize if women do not have equal power pay and leadership
positions, we will keep fighting the same battles over and over and over again and
never win them.
So I see that as being where we need to go now, and I think that Gloria was pretty
much on that same page, and she also was a great mentor for younger women, and she
always realized that, as she said, I'm not giving up my torch, but I am going to light
many other torches with it.
And she has lit so many other torches.
Of young women, there are young women who spoke in our recent Take the Lead conference
just this past week, and that I would say I would follow their torch anywhere.
We're going to be fine.
We're going to regain these rights and gain more.
That, that is always the best part of this country, I think, just...
Really, these on your side?
We are stuck in the Hasan Paiq universe.
...but optimism.
Yes.
We can achieve, we can continue to fight another day.
Great to have another powerful Gloria on this show, as we remember Gloria Steinem, Gloria
Felt, Gloria Ann Felt, yes.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
This morning, even as the war escalates...
Okay. Here's Gloria Steinem, who's a CIA in her own words below.
Best of all, you worked for the...
Steinem was also longtime DSA. How many activists who you are following are on the payroll now?
Me, I'm on the payroll. I'm on the CIA payroll. You got me.
That's why me and the American government have always been like this.
Okay, two P's in a pod.
research service. Well, exactly when did your own association with the CIA start
and in what fashion? They come to you or did you go to them? In 1958, when I came
home from India, I discussed with student leaders past and present, many of them
active with the National Student Association, this kind of small
foundation to encourage Americans to go. They thought it was a good idea too. I was
then told by foundations and professors and friends that it that I should not do
this, that I would get in trouble with the House on American Activities,
Committee of the American Legion, all of those fifties people, and I became
convinced that it was impossible. It was at that point that the student
leaders said to me that they had in the past received funds for international programs from
the CIA and that they felt that this was important and could also be partly funded by the CIA.
Well, I mean, did you feel that you really tried?
I mean, did you go around to all of the wealthy private foundations, wealthy private
people and explain your point of view and explain why you thought it was important
that the United States be represented at these things in a certain way.
What did they tell you?
They told me that, well, the Ford Foundation, for instance, told me that they thought we
were too liberal and too controversial and that we would endanger their cultural programs
in Austria when the first festival was being held in Vienna.
It was not encouraging at all.
And the private individuals to whom I went often had...
1970 she condemned the UN resolution calling Zionism racism wait really that's actually wild
So this was quite the controversial resolution in the United Nations
We could have we could have been living in a very different reality
I did not know that she also condemned the UN resolution calling Zionism racism
What happened to your subpoena lawless seem like it just went away chatter I don't know
As far as I understand, I mean, there's none of the people that were supposedly receiving subpoenas actually ended up receiving subpoenas.
I don't want to, I don't want to, you know, pull on that as much any longer.
I at the time I said it's possibly a fake leak for intimidation purposes.
Because I had never received a subpoena, even though Fox News reported it as though I had.
And there was definitely a moment of panic.
It could partially be because the legal system or investigations of this sort
take a long time, or it could be the other thing, which is the funny thing,
which is that this administration is unbelievably incompetent.
And therefore they just kind of dropped the ball on it.
I don't know. I don't want to fucking, you know, I don't want to, I don't want to
frustrate these forces any further.
Or it's the secret third thing, which is that I'm a motherfucking CIA agent,
just like Gloria Steinem was. And that's the reason why the government did the fake
pivot. They did the CIA, they did the
the CIA pivot, where they were like, oh, this guy, we're subpoenaing him for his
subversive activities is his activities as a Cuban agent engaging in foreign
espionage. Wink. Don't put a question mark where God put a period. That's a good way
to put it, yeah. Yeah, they did a limited hangout on you. They did.
particular points of view to put forward
which would have been much much more restricting than the CIA funds were which
were free. I mean no one was told what to say.
You mean they were free. You mean to say it was easier for you to work for the CIA than a private organization?
That's right. That's right. And the reason I think that comes as a surprise
is it did to me at the time. I mean I had the conventional liberals
of the CIA is a right-wing incendiary group, and I was...
Which is, hmm, I wonder, I wonder why you, your position on this changed.
Amazed to discover that this...
This is so funny because there is truth to this, like yes, a lot of people in the CIA
go to Yale, they go to Harvard, they go to these elite institutions, many of them
have a liberal perspective. But a liberal perspective is still a reactionary perspective,
especially if it's advancing the interests of American imperialism, American empire.
So yeah, you can have like woke lip tards at the CIA. Not every single one of them are like
unbelievably right-wing or whatever the fuck, but it doesn't matter. At the end of the day,
their output is still unbelievably reactionary, very violent, very destabilizing. Yeah. This
This is the, this is the thing that I think, this is the limitation of liberalism.
The limitation of liberalism is in full display right here where you're on the one hand, you're
like, well, you know, these are progressive guys, I don't understand.
They're pretty woke.
They're woke as fuck.
They're not right-wing in the way that I understand it.
Well, it's because your understanding of left-right dynamics is, is unfortunately,
unfortunately limited to the confines of American exceptionalism. We see this all the time. It's
not that they were nice to her. It's not that they were nice to her. You guys are failing to
comprehend. This is a person who's a very thoughtful person as a broad worldview, okay? But that
worldview is still trapped within the confines of American exceptionalism and therefore the
actions, the destabilizing actions of the CIA that led to, you know, the death and destruction of
millions of people all around the world, literally at the time of her employment by the CIA. That
is not seen as as evil or right wing or reactionary. That is seen as, as a necessary bad act
for a much larger overall good, right?
That's the problem.
That's the problem at the heart of this analysis is that,
I mean, and it still continues.
It's the whole, when Joe Biden pulled out of Afghanistan,
there were plenty of liberals who were like,
well, the green, the green zone is very woke
because the American forces are there.
And therefore women can go to school.
Like they can't have a nuanced discussion about this, right?
where they're like, well, now Afghanistan is in the hands of the Taliban once again, and it's far worse for for women's rights as though women's rights in Afghanistan can only be maintained with an American military force, right?
That's what's so crazy about this. Like, there's always a liberal justification for continued American brutality overseas.
That's why we jokingly refer to the more women drone pilot song.
This was far from the case that they were enlightened, liberal, nonpartisan activists
of the sorts who characterized the Kennedy administration, for instance.
You have nothing.
Yeah, the Jakarta method talks pretty extensively about the various CIA officers that had service-level
woke views but nonetheless advanced the killings of 1 million Indonesians.
Yeah, 1 million Indonesians who, by the way, were not all communists.
of them were trade unionists. Many of them were feminists. Ironically enough, a lot of
feminist Indonesians were slaughtered in the process.
But I mean, it's not like she was a deeply embedded longtime CIA operative either. I
feel like this coverage also is, you know, this is a good question from a cloud district
enjoyer, which is like, how deep was her involvement with the CIA? I see four years
at the Independent Research Service, which reported to the Vienna Youth Festival,
but was there any involvement after or before that?
I'm not entirely certain as to what lengths or what extent her involvement with the CIA's activities were.
That's why I say she's an asset or was an asset.
It's actually worse that she was defending it in public, though.
Defending it in the CIA in public and saying that the CIA was a force for good,
a force for liberalism wasn't this like right wing thing that people presented it as, this
right wing institution that she thought it was is strange.
Here's the NPC statement. This is a blast from the fast. By the way,
NPC statement on glorious item. Remember this from February 10, 2016.
This is a very different DSA. Okay, February 10, 2016. Very different DSA than the DSA we have now.
I actually am very interested to hear what DSA, what modern DSA would say about her legacy as
someone who was a card-carrying member. Steinem serves as one of the eight honorary chairs of
the Democratic Socialists of America along with Cornell West, Barbara Eichenreich, Francis Fox
Piven, and others based on her work for DSA in the 1980s and 90s, and one of its predecessor
Organization's Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee. While we appreciate
Steinem's pioneering work in the feminist movement and view her as a major figure in
the history of feminism, we were very disappointed by her disparaging comments
about female Bernie supporters, many of whom are active DSA members.
Her views do not reflect those of the DSA leadership. The National Political
Committee of Democratic Socialists of America views Steinem's remarks as
demeaning towards the many dedicated female activists young and old who
are active in the Sanders campaign because they recognize that Senator
Sanders' political program supports feminist and democratic aims more so than the platform of Hillary Clinton.
DSA members individually may and will vote as they choose, but DSA as an organization is actively
supporting the Sanders movement. Senator Sanders is fully committed to publicly funded child care,
paid parental leave and a truly universal healthcare system. Senator Clinton has
rejected these feminist policies. She also backed her husband's welfare reform legislation,
which had extremely negative effects on the lives of millions of low-income women and children.
We find these facts to run counter to the argument that she is the only feminist choice.
Steinem now claims that her remarks were misinterpreted, but it is disturbing that these
remarks, along with other recent complaints that raised by Clinton's supporters about women who
back Sanders, emerge just as polls show that Senator Sanders is a choice for a majority of
young women voters. Young women as well as all people of all ages are supporting the Sanders
campaign because they believe in the politics it represents, and we shared the anger of those
whose motives were questioned by Steinem's ill-considered remarks.
Can you ask your CIA handler please? It would be good to know. Yes, I will do that.
So, the Democratic Socialist of America, even in 2016, was kind of on it, and it's cool.
And at its inception, of course, DSA was, again, a loud and proud representative of
the anti-communist, like, modern-day socialist movement that was, like, expressly anti-communist,
right?
Now what the fuck
What is happening man hello
Hello, I disavow us on piker. Hello. Can you guys hear me? I disavow us on piker

Similarly with the THAT

know. Like I said, it's an interesting thing to gripe with. And it's important to fully
comprehend it. The censor chapter from the 1978 re-release of Red Stockings Feminist Revolution
Barbara Leon's revealing article, Glorostinem and the CIA. Why was this, why was this, why
was this, why was this, Red Stockings discloses Glorostinem CIA coverup. Red Stockings has
called this press conference to release information and we've uncovered showing that
Gloria Steinem had a 10-year association with the CIA, stretching from 1959 to 1969,
when she became what she has misrepresented and covered up, whether we have become convinced
that Ms. Magazine found her and edited by her as hurting the women's liberation movement,
as the originators of consciousness-raising and the Miss America protests, as the
women who were first talked about their abortions and the need for women to control their
own bodies, who coin such slogans that sisterhood is powerful, the personal is political,
that lost a movement, we are concerned that Steinem, Ms. Magazine and Ms. Corporation
are endangering the feminist movement.
Dude, I love shit like this.
I love that back then they were having the same back and forth arguments that we're having now.
It's cool.
We will never, we will never be able to build a broader movement.
And then as soon as I say that, people will say, oh yeah, we can't build a broader
movement with CIA agents or whatever.
But it's like, that's not even what I'm talking about.
I don't know to the extent of her.
I don't know the extent of her actual involvement, but I do find it very funny that it's like...
I do find it very funny that they're... I mean, this was the peak, the heyday of the CIA,
so there were literally CIA agents like Gloria Steinem.
And now we got factional infighting, sectarian infighting, disagreements that turn into
massively consequential, uh, movement breaking, uh, incidents.
Katie Sarajal and Gloria Steinem's work for the CIA. Sarajal furthered, first
exposed sign of CITAS to the feminist collective, Red Stockings, leading to
a fear within the feminist movement, essential by random house after Steinem
threatened legal action.
Red Stockings is a PSYOP, a distraction, a disruption to true, wait, what?
red stockings was the sigh up
what the hell
Nothing on this Wikipedia page says is a Psyop. I don't get it.
It's not. I think.
I think. I think.
It's a similar.
It's a similar, much smaller movement within the pro-Palestine movement as well.
like I think that there are people who who believe that like there are people who sometimes
correctly identify federal agents and other times are not actually identifying federal agents at
all but just simply suspecting everybody of being one. I don't know to what degree there is a
an interception by federal agencies in the socialist movement in this day and age.
Everyone has their own entry points by introduction to Gloria Sininbe on a recognizable name I should
know about. Was there saying publicly in 2016 that she thought the reason young women supported
Bernie over Hillary was they were seeking the approval of men? Yeah, I mean, she's had some,
She's had some L's for sure
Con descending to save the lease and then I learned about the CIA stuff
I appreciate the work of radicals with conviction whose movements are building upon what I don't appreciate is those same radicals turn mainstream with Asian notoriety
she's a
shed, shed their radical ideology and allow themselves to be used and disparage those continuing the work by, you know.
It's safe to assume that they're still infiltrating in the UK. We keep getting scales about state infiltration and protest movements. There's an ongoing inquiry into it even now.
Look, my question always is, is this infiltration in the direction of moving people into like frontest
positions? Because there's definitely an element of that. Or is the infiltration simply to identify
more radical elements and and capture them and and arrest them and prosecute
them. It's like I feel like federal infiltration in these sorts of movements
is like the Turtle Island project you know what I mean like the FBI is very
clearly in these group chats and is like yeah comrade here are the explosive
ordinances that we can get from this these coordinates and then you go
there and then the FBI is waiting there with the fucking drone and is like taking snapshots of you
trying to build up an explosive device that they inevitably will throw you in jail for attempting
to use, you know. Like I think federal infiltration in these movements is more so to entrap some of
the more, some of the more radical elements. And it's ironic because the more radical
elements are the ones who are constantly accusing everybody else of being federal agents.
In my experience, the co-option that comes from corporate entities, pro-capitalist institutions, things of that nature, are done not under the guise of infiltration and subversion and then like,
like moving people, neutering movements, neutering more radical movements, that stuff is done
very openly. That stuff is done out in broad daylight. That stuff is when, you know, Walmart
throws up a black fist and says black lives matter while simultaneously continuing to
fund local law enforcement endeavors. That's why I find it really funny where people
will more of the left flank or more of the radical elements within a broader socialist
movement within the broader, you know, labor movement will oftentimes say that the infiltrators
are the ones who are trying to tame the movement.
That's historically never been the force.
Historically the force that's built to infiltrate the movement are some of the more radical
elements that are trying to get you to do something that they will entrap you with.
You understand?
at least that's my understanding of it.
Maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe you guys can prove that I am wrong.
They peel off like five people who think they're more radical,
but are fairly new to organizing and encouraging
to prove their dedication by breaking laws in front of them.
Exactly, exactly.
That is the way that this kind of like infiltration
works historically.
Until it becomes an even more significant problem
then the infiltrators will obviously sell you out and and you know cause you to get assassinated.
How is that even prosecutable? What do you mean?
We had a meeting during 2024 around pro-pally activism in Austin, new guy had graffitied
a house member's office and was talking about chemical boom-booms found out months later
he was an FBI rat.
Yup.
It's always people like that.
It's always people who are like, come on comrade it's time for direct action.
Let's go find some tenorite and you're like, okay, that's a fucking federal agent.
That's the easiest way to identify a federal agent.
In my opinion, that's either someone who is maybe a little bit off the rocker or directly
a federal agent, sometimes both, sometimes an asset.
Okay.
what we call fed posting.
That's where the defeats left this could be a big asset for us.
would make them depressed? Yeah. Probably a good idea to FOIA info on Gloria Steinem
right on record that she accepted knowingly money from the CIA, this though I found out
Glorious Dynamite RIP.
Do confuse with people who are anti-electoral though, not everyone is convinced voting will
get us out of this ship but are not doing crimes, wait no that's not what I'm saying.
I'm not saying that every anti-electoralist leftist is like a fucking federal agent,
not what I'm saying at all. I think some of them are just some of them have reasonable
critiques and disagreements with what I'm trying to do for the record. I'm not I'm not
Not saying that these guys are all agents of the state.
But if you meet someone who is urging you to engage in an act of decentralized violence,
are most likely in the presence of a federal law enforcement officer or an asset. Okay,
that's some of the consider.
Well, yeah, I mean, fascinating stuff overall. What is this? More and more material is coming out.
Gloria Steinem in the sea, Katie Sarah, child of Red Stockings. This is the KPFA 1975 recordings,
I guess. Kathy Sarah Sheld has interviewed on KPFA's Unlearning to Not Speak program by Susan
Elizabeth. Sarah Sheld is a member of the Red Stockings Radical Feminist Group, which has published
a warning that Gloria Steinem and MS Magazine, Steinem's editor, Ms. Magazine, may be fronts for
the CIA and powers that be to block progress on feminist research and exploitation of women,
focuses on Steinem's political history since the 1960s in an association with
independent research service, which is believed to have been caused by the CIA to block communist youth
activities in Finland and Europe. Suspicions and warnings are being published in the Red
Stockings Journal. Other articles are cited in other publications on this issue.
Like, here's my most, my criticism is a glorious items. The involvement is the
fact that she knowingly and willingly obviously entertains CIA money, said it was good. It
it was a liberal institution, yada, yada, yada, said it was a progressive force. It can't be,
you know, it can't be further off base than the truth in that, right?
But to what degree was her involvement with the CIA continuous as far as identifying more radical
elements of the feminist movement in the 60s and onward and how much she worked to, to,
to disrupt these forces. You know what I mean?
It is written in that secret MK ultra magic power font.
Yes.
The thing that made Gloria Stein and famous was her exposing the exploitative nature, including
financially the Playboy mansion, Miss Magazine helped bring discussions of gender pay gap
to the forefront.
Her goal was to stop class focus feminism. She did a horrible job engaging in liberal reformism,
aiming to reduce the degree of exploitation and industry does not mean that she didn't participate
in the anti-soviet youth festivals. Judgment of that aside, both of you are being too vague in
order to make your respective points. She was definitely a liberal reformist. And if you're
specifically a socialist feminist critiquing her for such mannerisms is all well and good,
thinking she's suspect and a Psyop because she indirectly got money from the CIA for five years
years while working in NGOs idiotic. Yeah, my question is like, how much of that influence,
how much of that influence continued, right? Like how much of that influence continued? And
how successful was she in taming some of the more radical elements of the feminist
moving at the time and and what the fuck? What is going on? David,
you turn off my lights. Well, the lights turned off in the
room.
You did turn off my lights.
They say you never leave the CIA king.
Like I want to identify what was more radical within the movement that she could have potentially
Uh, she could have potentially cast aside or, or, or pull back from if that makes sense.
Check your oven.
Yeah, real funny.
The real question on everybody's minds is would Gloria Steinem condemn Hassan
Hassan Abbey Piker?
The answer is yes.
Okay.
The answer is absolute fucking Lutely
Make no mistake, okay, make no mistake she absolutely would have and therefore we support her
Huh, all right, I feel like I've spent too much time on this issue
you. JD Vance's mother says you probably punch Abdul El Sayed. That's cool. He loves being
a doorman for the DNC. It's all going according to plan for old Hassani boy in his dumb ass
fucking suits. Yeah. Yeah. Me, me, me, me, me. I'm doing this just for you. Okay.
I'm doing this just to get you on board.
Asana's a well-paid sheepdog.
I don't give a fuck, says Gabe Arese the Paul.
Framing socialist days a woman victimization machine as opposed to flawed instruments
of liberation is probably a huge way that she took the wrong road.
I wonder if she ever talked about China ending footbinding or Cuba abolishing sex work through organic liberation probably not Loma Fale
Yeah, I don't think these I don't think these guys in the 60s were saying kind things
Especially liberals in general were saying kind things about women's liberation movements in in
Socialist countries at all. I
Don't think that that was I think that's the the opposite purpose
Let's be real
All right, let's get to Iran launching a new attack on Kuwait.
President Trump is predicting in a familiar refrain that it will end soon.
They're not doing well at all.
And so it's just a question of time.
But Iran shows no signs of backing down.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says the U.S. is ramping up economic pressure on
the regime.
But Lutnick also making headlines for saying this.
There haven't been American deaths, it's really just an economic chokeout which the administration
is now executing more broadly and I think it will be very effective.
18 US service members have been killed.
Top US military leaders are warning resources are stretched thin as service members face
lengthy deployments.
On Wednesday, 5,000 US sailors and Marines serving on the USS Lincoln stepping on dry
Thailand for the first time in more than nine months.
The once-gleaming aircraft carrier docking in Thailand after 286 days at sea, covered in
rust after a record-setting deployment to support the US blockade of Iran.
Amid reports of plummeting morale on board, the president had brushed off concerns about
the lengthy deployment.
In Thailand, the Lincoln's commanding officer, Captain Dan Keeler, asked about that.
In Chicago, Kristi McGarry, whose son Marshall is a sailor on the Lincoln, told us she was
deeply offended.
It was extremely offensive, really, and dismissive of the sacrifices that we get through.
And military leaders have reportedly been warning Defense Secretary Pete Hegset that
a prolonged war with Iran is unsustainable and pushing back against his purge of top
officials.
And now some Republican senators are voicing serious concerns about his leadership.
Tom Tillis, who cast the tie-breaking vote to confirm Hegset, now says Trump should
fire him for his, quote, inept management.
Rebecca.
Thank you.
On July 2nd, Treasury Secretary Bessin was asked when Americans could see $3 gas again.
He said, maybe by Labor Day.
Things have worked out that way, but do you have a new timetable for Americans on when they could expect the work gas prices
and should they not expect to see $3 gas again until at least 2027?
Well, in defense of Scott, he said maybe by Labor Day because we're talking about things that are inherently unpredictable.
And I think it's important, you know, I'm a strong believer that the American people
are fellow citizens and we should speak with them honestly about these things.
And the fundamental reality is that the reason gas prices are so high right now is because
the Iranians are shooting at commercial shipping.
Even by the way when they signed an agreement that said we're going to stop shooting
at commercial shipping, they almost immediately went back to shooting at commercial shipping.
And I actually think that this drives home a couple of points.
why? For almost 50 years they didn't. And for the last six months they have been. I wonder
why. How do we get here? How do we do this? I wonder why they randomly decided to do this.
Hmm. It's number one. It's why things like the Venezuela oil deal are so important is because we've learned that we can't be over reliant on anybody for the world supply of energy and gas.
It's one of the reasons why the president, except for Venezuela. How does that make any sense?
The real answer here would be to focus on building alternative energy platforms, not to find a new country that we can steal the oil from.
President has pursued an energy dominance agenda because, yes, gas prices are higher in the United States.
states they're way worse everywhere else in the world because of what the
president did particularly during the first administration.
Other people are suffering worse than us due to our actions is awesome.
That's cool.
Make us more energy dominant.
I also think it drives home frankly the ridiculous atrophy that we saw in our European allies
and their inability to actually do anything to help keep world energy markets supplied.
So when the Iranians shoot at commercial shipping, obviously that means some ships
don't want to go through.
A lot of ships have gone through.
We've got about 15 million barrels out of the straight-of-form moves just yesterday
despite the fact that the iranians continue to ship
or continue to shoot i should say
what is anybody in the world
why is it incumbent upon the united states of america to beat the
i wonder why it's incumbent on the united states america two reasons one
we are the global hegemonic superpower
and it's literally our job to keep
the the trade flowing
that is unironically the point of this. Okay. And two, we started it. We caused the issue.
What are you talking about? What is this abdication of responsibility? It's like, well, I don't
get it. Why are, why are they looking to us? Why are they looking to us, the United
States of America for being responsible to make sure that trade flows freely
through every straight around the world. I don't understand the only country in
the world that can actually ensure world energy markets continue to say it
stays applied and the answer is because we're the only country that has the
capability of doing it. And so what the president has said is we really have
two options here. We could leave and the entire world would be way worse off
because there would be no guaranteed access to oil and gas. By the way
the Gulf Arab country also wrong. If America left today, Iran would just cut separate bilateral
or potentially multilateral deals with every single country, including the Gulf. And they
would cut America out of the equation. America can't leave not because Iran will directly
deal with everybody else, America can't leave because that would mean taking the fucking
L. America can't leave because that would require America to open the signal to the
rest of the world that it's over, it's done.
other part of the problem is Israel. America could leave tomorrow, but where does that
leave Israel? What happens to Israel's ambitions of destroying Iran and creating a failed state
in Iran. You know, what then? What do we do about that? You know, the number one reason why we wage
war with Iran to begin with that caused the Shreddhahor move the clothes, these are telling us that
would be the worst thing in the world. Or we can accept the Iranians are going to shoot at
ships like crazy people and we're going to do what we have to do in order to ensure
that their efforts don't lead to a worldwide energy crisis. Now, we've been quite successful
up to this point, gas, frankly, could have been much, much higher, were it not for our
efforts, but I'm not going to make a promise. I will say this, even during the genocide
of the Palestinians, there were plenty of liberal voices that would fucking scream at
me when I said the Houthis are actually implementing a blockade on the Red Sea to impede on the
genocidal ambitions of Israel to, you know, restrict them in some way, to punish them in some way.
And people will get really fucking mad and they'll say, oh, you're defending terrorism. You hate,
you know, maritime traffic. It's ridiculous what the Houthis are doing. It's totally illegal.
You don't hear people like that any longer about Iran. And that's what's really interesting.
Even liberals kind of understand why Iran is maintaining a blockade over the Shredda Hormuz
Have you noticed that
It's about when it's going to return to three dollars
What I will say is that we have to remember why are we doing this number one
It's so that Iran never has a nuclear weapon and number two what we're doing right now is protecting commercial shipping
In order to ensure that we don't have a worldwide energy crisis
The only reason the only reason we do not have a worldwide energy crisis is because of the leadership of the president
But also because of the fine work of our military from Pete Hexeth on down
But the Iranians are doing what the Iranians do. I think that they're losing their capabilities by the day
I think they're realizing, by the way, that their control over the Strait of Hormuz is
effectively gone and it's a diminishing asset.
So if you go back three months ago, how much oil and gas was coming out of the Strait under
Iranian threats, it was back virtually nothing.
Now it's almost back to where it was before the conflict even started.
So my advice to the Iranians is stop acting like crazy people and stop shooting at
commercial shipping.
And in the meantime, we've got to do what we've got to do, despite what a foreign country
is going to do in the strait of war moves.
And the Iranians say that an attack on a wedding celebration earlier this week killed several
people, injured dozens of others.
I know SENTCOM says it's investigating, but have you been briefed on that attack and
was the U.S. responsive?
So I've been briefed to the extent that I know that we're investigating.
I've seen the same public media reports everywhere else.
I will say that the Iranian state media has not been a very good scribe about what's happened
in the conflict thus far.
So I'm extremely skeptical of this.
What I can say with 100% confidence is that unlike the IRGC, the United States never
...
It's so funny to say that Iranian media lies when we can see the fucking impact
zones, we can see the footage. And also you're literally lying about Americans
not deliberately targeting civilians because our opening salvo deliberately
targeted them in up school and killed not only civilians but also 150 of them
were little girls going to school. Targets, civilians in combat, we never
will do that. We never have done that. And unfortunately, obviously, sometimes
things happen. But in this particular case, I don't think that we have any
information one way or the other. We're investigating it because obviously we care, we want to know
and if we do make mistakes, again this is a big difference between us and Iran, when
our military makes mistakes, they learn from them to try to get better from them, so we're
investigating it very fully.
Do you share any of the concerns of Secretary Driscoll and several Republican lawmakers
about the current state of the Army specifically, about the departure of so many generals
and other top officials?
Well, first of all look Dan is obviously a very good friend of mine
I think he was a great secretary of the army Pete is also a very good friend of mine
And I think he's an amazing secretary of war and you know, but fundamentally
Where I look there are a lot of issues where I agree with Pete on the issue where I'm in the most strident agreement with Pete
Is that we needed to have a culture shift at the Department of War?
We have to ask ourselves a very difficult questions and it has nothing to do
I want to be clear. This has nothing to do with the amazing troops that we have,
the amazing military officers, non-commissioned officers, and enlisted personnel that we have,
but America has fought a lot of wars since I've been alive, 42 years, and we have won almost
none of them until Donald J. Trump became the President of the United States. What does that say
about the culture.
Reminding everybody of our failures when the failures have only expanded.
He's not wrong when he says we've lost a lot of wars, right?
What are we winning right now?
I don't know.
40% approval rating, but 85% among Republicans?
Oh, what an awesome.
What can you say, man?
Sure, of military leadership, the way that we did planning.
And what does it also say, frankly, about the political leadership that we've had
had in the White House at the Department of War for 40 years of frankly, military
intelligence.
Oregon Fisherman and the Caribbean, true.
What came in wanting to do was revive the warrior spirit in the United States of America.
And I think you see evidence of that happening in a lot of different ways.
Two important ways is, number one, we have recruitment at all time highs.
We have real recruitment problems under the Biden administration because people didn't
want to join a woke military.
And what I mean is they don't want to join any military that was geared towards a particular political narrative
They just wanted to join a military that was willing to defend America's interests and
Brother what the fuck I cannot believe it dude
I can't believe that this is unironically the narrative that they went with and it still continue to this day like yeah
Thank God Pete Hakeseth has unv-wokified
our our military thank God yeah that was the biggest problem with the American
military was two woke Asian orange and Vietnam woke up fight meanwhile our
anti-woke military is getting fucking dusted in the Strait of Hormuz
So, how does that fucking work?
I still don't understand what they mean about anti-woke military.
I guess it's like firing black people and, you know, women generals and black general
stuff like that, and like renaming a bunch of, uh, renaming a bunch of U.S. military
bases for like heinous American figures throughout history.
But how has that contributed to military readiness is the question that I have, especially when
considering that the American military currently is experiencing a crisis in PR unlike ever
before.
Throughout no period in time, throughout American history, has there been as big a crisis as
today in terms of America's readiness, its capabilities, its force projection capabilities
in particular which is obviously one of the most consequential elements of the military.
Like this has been a disaster even from their ultimate perspective.
If their goals were to aesthetically induce the notion that the American military is mighty,
they fucking failed, right?
Do so at the very highest levels of professionalism and excellence.
That is what the military under President Trump's leadership is geared towards doing.
The second way that I judge just that is free to core, that warrior spirit that you see at
the Pentagon is, when you go out and talk to troops today, they talk about how much
better it is, how much prouder they are, how much more they feel supported from Washington
as opposed to frankly oppressed by Washington.
We're trying to bring the best in the-
Brother, troops on board USS Abraham Lincoln were trying to kill themselves.
What the fuck are you talking about?
200 extra days at sea?
No relief in sight, until recently.
There were motherfuckers trying to kill themselves man, they were trying to jump overboard.
You're like, oh, dude, they've never been more supportive
of the military.
They love how anti-woken is.
Right now, it's in the United States military
and support them in every way that we can.
If you recall, under the Biden administration,
guys were getting fired
because they were making their own health care decisions
and the Biden administration was treating them
like they were convicted criminals.
We're not doing that.
We're taking things in a much different direction.
So I feel like the military
is a much better place than it was 18 months ago.
Of course, there's a lot of work still to do.
And of course, some of that work is going to take years, because frankly, the rot got
so deep under previous failed administrations.
This morning, Iran targeting U.S. bases in the Middle East for a second night, launching
missile and drone attacks, according to Q8.
It follows U.S. strikes on Iran's air defenses, as well as a strike on a wedding celebration
that left four people dead.
Iranian television broadcasting images of what it says up I need you guys to
understand something yeah he was talking about Kovashas yeah Iran did in six months
what no one was able to do what no political force in this country was able
to do which is Iran was able to forcibly evacuate not one not two not ten
15 American military bases by force in a matter of six months. Okay? Six months, 15 American
military bases are now rendered inoperable. There is no way to look at those numbers
and think, well, thank God they're anti-woke. They're saying slurs. Okay? That is 40 plus
years of development, perishing in a matter of months, 40 years of military bases, 40
years of security cooperative agreements, six months of Iranian retaliation, and they're
gone.
There is no way to explain that as a positive, none.
How will we ever rebuild these amazing feats of military prowess?
And then here's the base, insert image of irreplaceable billion dollar strategic asset
which costs, which if lost will hamstring American power projection for decades to
come.
yeah fuck this thing what will it even do we weren't even using it anyway a
billion dollars whatever man our bases weren't good anyway actually they sucked
ass when you think about it dog shit bases thanks for getting rid of them
for us and blowing up all of our stuff losers
Yeah, that's what this guy is saying.
This was last night.
Iran attacked seven different American military bases in four different countries with dozens
of ballistic missiles and drones yesterday, and it appears that the U.S. is not going
to respond.
Iranian deterrence has been reestablished as America faces continued critical intercept
through missile stockpiles.
Meanwhile, Iran retains the majority of its ballistic missile launchers, thousands
of ballistic missiles in their underground cities and is actively expanding its
ballistic missile production sites.
Again, display claiming to have carried out a large wave of strikes on Iranian military targets
yesterday. The Sankam footage only showed a couple of valuable targets being hit in Southern
Iran and nothing else. Iran still maintains their ability to strike any ship in the Shredi Hormuz
and can also strike any American military base due to the lack of interceptor missile stockpiles.
The American humiliation ritual continues. There is nothing that remains on the American
arsenal other than maximum levels of cope, copium. That's all it is.
Yeah, Barry McCaffrey, MSNOW, National Security Analyst, also engaging that same level of
copium. In my judgment, the U.S. Armed Forces have probably permanently lost access to 15
Persian Gulf bases. Iran is now poised to control the access to Gulf states. U.S. will have to
negotiate new access in the Western Saudi. Oh, wait, sorry. This guy is not the one who's
coping. Anthony Scare-Mucci. Actually, none of these guys are coping. They're actually
being pretty honest with their assessment. I don't know why you presented this as cope.
U.S. Abraham Lincoln's resupply problems were in a mystery. Iran hit the fifth fleet
base Navy headquarters in Bahrain, the fifth fleet of logistics hub. The Navy had to
shift to Diego Garcia 2000 towards miles away instead of 800 transit times roughly tripled
so replacement dropped from every three days to 10 that is the logistics reality behind the
shortages and 200 plus days is see without a port call depending on fire the editors of
stars and stripes for telling the truth.
Once again and I have to repeat this over and over again there is no way out of this
okay there's no way out of this we are fucking losing we're bleeding it's it's important
for us to stop the bleeding. But we seemingly choose not to. And I don't know. I mean, who knows
how much public pressure could even be impactful on Trump's decision making process. But then again,
the audience necessary to create that public pressure is some of the most insane people
in the country, Trump's cult.
Law-Hussain-Larping-Berlington Coat Factory Female Coat?
I don't even know what that is.
I want to appreciate the, the unique slander, but I can't even comprehend it.
Yeah.
Someone who's coping is Robin Brooks.
Robin Brooks, the US learned from the mistakes it made in the first iteration of the blockade
in Iran.
The second iteration is Titan.
Lots of loopholes and it's much tougher.
That's why Iranian realism freefall is down 20% since its reimposition on July 14th.
Because again, Robert is looking at the wrong exchange rate since the blockade was reimposed
to USD exchange rate in the main FX market, has risen from 1.48 million real estate, 1.57
million.
That's a 6% decline over the period, or around 3.5% in monthly depreciation.
In the meantime, monthly inflation in Iran ran around 4% in August and is down from
closer to 10% early in the war.
Demand destruction will slow inflation in the short to medium term.
Given that the rate of currency devaluation is lower than inflation, it remains consistent
with a kind of crawling peg that the central bank has maintained for years imports are falling
rapidly, which is reducing pressure on CBI to supply the FX market, even as export revenues
remain depressed because of the blockade.
If Iranian policymakers were trying to maximize economic activity, this would all be very
bad.
But instead, they are trying to prevail in a military conflict.
They can absolutely tolerate this kind of economic pain because the brunt of it is
being felt by ordinary people.
The Jerusalem Post also wrote an insane op-ed, which is not so insane if you know what the
Jerusalem Post is all about, suggesting using indebted Americans to invade Iran.
Some of which came from the analysis that Pentagon asked regular folks who could maybe
come up with creative ways to win the Iran war that is currently failing.
Parts of the American missile responsible claims NBC News cannot verify and of what Iranian
media says are hospitalized wounded, including children.
A U.S. official said that the military had been conducting strikes in the vicinity
and that Sencom would investigate the incidents.
President Trump suggesting the regime should not rest easy.
We're prepared to do another one any time we want.
But insisting these latest strikes may just be temporary.
I don't think it will be very much longer.
I don't know how much more they can take.
But with fighting ramping up again, concerns are mounting over how long the war may last.
Made a bad decision about in Iran war, which we were promised would be a month long
and now we're in more than six months.
And that could extend even longer.
The Wall Street Journal reporting that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is extending troop deployment
in the Middle East, a sign that the conflict with Iran could drag into next year, according
to people familiar with the matter.
This critical moment in the war also coming into sharp focus after the major shake-up
at the head of the army.
Hegseth under fire after Army Secretary Dan Driscoll's resignation following tensions
over key issues in the military.
Republican Senator Tom Tillis urging President Trump to fire Hegzeff, accusing him of creating
a leadership void at the top of our military ranks, adding, I have never witnessed more
inept management of the brave men and women who serve our country.
I'm going to keep repeating this over and over again, but four to six weeks special
military operation.
is literally worse overall at his ambitious than Vladimir Putin is even
and Vladimir Putin is pretty bad. We are hearing the exact same narratives that
Putin presented when innovating Ukraine. Special military operation it'll take no
time whatsoever. Don't worry about it. Every country is just experiencing his
own iteration of of Putinism.
Straight up.
Whether it be enriching his close associates and friends and maybe hand-selected oligarchs that are ideologically in line with the movement or loyal to the movement,
or whether it be claiming that there will be a short special military operation that ends up taking up all the resources of the state.
And goes for far longer than suspected
Really de defended you well Phil we are yeah, I've seen this I haven't been able to watch it yet
but I know. And in a statement earlier this week, Craig, the White House praising both
Britt Driscoll and Hegg Seth, meanwhile, the Pentagon asked a comment by the Wall Street Journal,
declined a comment but says that it always provides options for the Commander-in-Chief.
Craig? Our Chief International Correspondent,
Kier Simmonds, was there in Jerusalem. Kier, thank you.
Hey, thanks for watching. Don't forget you can catch the today.
What are we, a bunch of Russians? I mean low-key. I'm talking about the ways in which this is unfolded.
In the past when America engaged in violent endeavors in this exact same region,
I considered that to be completely unacceptable, violent, disgusting,
abhorrent and argued against it vociferously. But I never looked at that and said, well,
there's no rhyme or reason. There is a logical through line to some of those actions.
American imperialism, for example, profit and plunder, these were real goals.
They were monstrous, they were horrifying, and I disagreed with them vehemently,
but they were goals nonetheless. Even with Vladimir Putin's ambitions in Ukraine, there is
like some kind of logic. It's an irrational act. It's completely violent. It's morally
repugnant. It's unacceptable. But he has an idea in his mind where he's like, I'm going to
take over Ukraine, right? Ukraine is a part of Russia. I'm going to take over it all this shit.
There's also the NATO encirclement, NATO encroachment. Like there's,
There's something operating, uh, his, his animus, something driving his animus.
For Donald Trump, this has been, this could have been frictionless, right? It could have been totally fine.
And he chose to do this because M is real high, M is real high, by the way, I know we got an F for a second.
And he has received nothing in return.
Nothing. Like the position is worse than ever before. American force projection capabilities have been destroyed. American munitions are at critical levels. Our stockpiles have diminished.
I mean, this is an anti-imperialist wet dream, if we're being honest.
honest. The American Empire is falling apart. I'm only frustrated because I wish that we
had a say in this process and it didn't get to this point and we didn't like murder people,
you know, as we come to the conclusion that the American forces are no longer as capable
as as we previously thought they were.
We show every morning on NBC or you are a self-professed Christian nationalist.
Not only is there no mention of Christian.
This is Pete Hicks's pastor. I'm skipping it though.
US-AS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier has pulled into Thailand after being deployed
for nearly 300 days, including for operations in the war in Iran.
Observers are noting it's covered in rust from bow to stern.
Experts say the state of the ship is not unusual, as standing off the rust is impossible at
sea.
A former US Navy captain, though, saying the preservation work would take up to 30
days.
CNN's Ivan Watson reports.
Look at the rust coating an American air.
Oh my God, bro.
Oh my God.
This is like this is positively Soviet, dude.
Wow, this is straight up the client of the USSR.
there are those of us who saw this twice in their lifetime many of them
this is exactly what
this is exactly what the USSR looked like in general
lead coming into the 90s right?
wow!
aircraft carrier as it arrived at a port
in Thailand this week the USS Abraham Lincoln
wrapping up what has been one of the longest deployments in U.S. Navy history.
Some 286 days at sea, much of that spent involved in combat operations in the Middle East
supporting the ongoing U.S. war against Iran.
And if you take a look at the ship back in January,
and today you can just see this rust along the hull of this 1100 foot long warship
from bow to stern. Now some Navy experts say that this is not actually that much
of a surprise that Navy ships will start collecting rust in these areas after
just two months of operations in the ocean. It's going to be a lot of work
for crew members to to clean this up. This is going to be now this port this
is very normal ships rusted an alarming rate cruise ships are
constantly painted, even when on a trip to ensure they look clean.
No, it's understandable.
It's sea salt, uh, water.
Uh, my, my, my assessment on it is the outside rust is, is basically
telling a story about what it looks like on the inside.
Like it's not shocking that it roasted so hard.
It's just more so showing how long it's been out at sea, how much longer, than it was supposed to be out at sea.
Because you normally don't see a visual like that.
You don't normally see an American warship in that kind of condition.
It's symbolic of its overextension.
And it also leads me to question what the inside looks like.
that's what the outside looks like all my god the toilets
all my god
the motherfucking toilets to thailand the first time
thousands
of sailors and marines are getting to set foot on dry land really
since winter and
one of the
officers on board had this to say about that
we're very very happy to be here
thank you for what we must
It is a well-deserved break for all of the crew, and we really look forward to our time
here to get a little rest.
And perhaps in the cases of a lucky few, there were relatives waiting on shore to greet their
loved ones.
I just can't wait to see her smile.
I can't wait to hear mom.
I know that's the first thing she's going to say.
Well, for more on this, CNN's Kevin Liptak joining me live from the White House.
What are we hearing from the Trump administration on this?
Well, they have defended, obviously, this record-long deployment of the Abraham Lincoln.
They have hailed the work that the sailors did over the course of those 286 days.
But it's hard to avoid, I think, the symbolism of this now rust-covered ship heading back
home.
It sort of appears as if it's kind of limping back into port after what was, I think, a
very strenuous deployment.
Certainly the morale problems that we saw over the last beating an ass whooping dude
Straight up
Call it what it is an ass whooping that's what happened and it didn't need to happen
It did not need to happen at all
This month or so in the final days of this deployment, I think symbolized in the state
of the ship at the moment, even if Navy experts say that that is perfectly normal for something
like this, for something that has lasted this amount of days.
Now, President Trump has talked previously about rust on Navy ships.
He doesn't like to see it.
And actually, the Navy Secretary, John Fallon, who actually stepped down earlier this year,
talked about getting phone calls in the middle of the night from President Trump complaining
about the way that certain Navy ships looked because they were too covered in rust, encouraging
him to get it fixed very, very quickly.
And so, even though this is normal for these ships and for these aircraft carriers
who have been at sea for so long, I don't think...
What the fuck's going on on my internet man?
Hello?
Imagine the assets China and Iran have in Thailand right now.
Dude, what the fuck is China going to do?
What is China going to learn from some dumb fuck Marine who's on shore leave?
You know what I mean?
What kind of secrets?
What kind of secrets does the crayon eater have?
I'm a marine engineer.
There's cope.
This is normal.
But honestly, no, there are going to be lots of cracks and microcracks and that it's
book. Come on. It's only like, you know, multiple billion dollar trillion dollar franchise,
multiple billion dollar asset. It's fine, dude. Fuck it. Just toss it out. What do we
got like we got like what 12 more of them? Who cares?
That president Trump is necessarily going to like the imagery of this ship heading back to
report in the state that it is in, because of what it perhaps represents about the state
of the conflict itself, which has now gone on far longer than he once predicted.
He said it would last six weeks, and it now passed the six-month mark, because it doesn't
look as if there's any clear indication of how it will end at this point.
No obvious, durable solution to reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
That all, I think, will pose both problems for the administration, but also an opening
for the president's critics who have been wary of how he has been handling this conflict
at large. But certainly for the sailors, it is welcome news that they are heading.
So, I'm fascinated by that. The images at least aren't likely to play well either with
or for Donald Trump, and given the growing pressure on the Pentagon, I wonder how all
All of this is landing with Trump's base and the wider Republican Party.
Yeah, and you do hear, you know, mounting concerns among Republicans, particularly those
who are in vulnerable races, head of the midterm elections.
They want this war to be over with, and if not over with, they want it to at least
recede into the background for the next two months or so before voters head to
the polls.
They recognize that the war is very unpopular, it started off unpopular, which is a rarity
for american conflicts abroad but it has only gotten more
unpopular in the months since and so when you listen to republicans and
particularly
those who are
a let's go all according to gas buddy dated a live u.s. national average price of
diesel is set a new record five eight twenty a gallon surpassing the
previous five
one nine gallon all-time high that occurred
on June 17th, 2022. Let's go.
Let's go, baby.
For all of the green energy, you know, how to build a pipeline in joyers, you must be
so, so joyful in this moment.
You know what I mean?
This is like, like Donald Trump is the greatest green energy terrorist of all time.
He is blowing up all of the pipelines.
He's going to make it so that no more fossil fuels can ever be implemented or used.
So much winning, dude.
So much winning.
Think about how much of the carbon footprint Donald Trump personally eviscerated by taking
out these pesky little bases in the region.
Think about all the carbon footprint from those bases.
Donald Trump is the renewable energy icon.
He is the green energy icon.
You might consider him to be an anarcho-primitivist,
an eco-socialist, an anarcho-primitivist.
He's doing it all, baby.
Doing it all.
I wish I had good internet so I could accurately
celebrate this but I can't. JD Vance on February 27, 2026 I think that we have to
avoid over learning the lessons of the past just because one president screwed
up a military conflict doesn't mean we can never engage in military conflict
again great stuff
I voted for this hashtag Green New Deal hashtag mother Trump Pisa. Yeah, same. I mean, honestly,
though, if you are an acceleration is if you're a Maoist third world is like, it's in your
goal is the destruction of the United States of America. Like, yeah, Trump is the most
valuable ally you could ever have if you're like america's the big bad it's the most evil empire
of all time no one else comes close to it there's nothing redeemable about it it must be destroyed
piece by piece that is literally what trump is doing that is what the the cancerous cult of maga
is excitedly entertaining even at this very moment
But straight up, Cahay Saito, not a malice third world is, of course, I'm saying Cahay Saito,
degrowth. That's what Trump is doing, baby. Artificially reduced demand in many of these
countries as a direct consequence of the initiatives that Donald Trump took in the
in the sugar hormones that that rendered twenty percent of the entire
world's energy supply
uh... impossible to get out of the gulf
he's doing the growth
cohecyto style
jd pondon close to the white house and are trying to send a message to the
president they really want this
to sort of be put on the back burner they don't want a major escalation
in the months before the mentor elections because it was only going to serve
uh... to remind voters
that uh... gas prices are higher than they were before the conflict
there doesn't seem to be any sort of victory in terms of strategic objectives
that the president laid out
at the start of the conflict and so
there is a real desire
a tip for the president to move past this but it's not clear that that has
sort of broken through to the president you know you still see
uh... periodically including this week
but the back and forth strikes with iran
it seems as if that's the president's strategy
going forward is to launch these uh... sort of uh...
periodic uh... retaliations with iran and obviously iran
and knows that the president is facing these political pressures and
i can read as well as anyone else the polls about the popularity of the
war itself and so
uh... some real concerns i think among the president's allies about what this
might protect
i literally vote over trauma got everything i asked for third not a third
world is by the way just want america to get a taste of its own medicine what the fuck are
you talking about dude you're a 12 month subscriber who voted for donald trump are you fucking
serious are you insane
We found one.
We found one.
We found an unironic acceleration as did.
Look, the end of American Empire is an inevitability.
Okay?
It is important for us to take control of that inevitability.
important for us to manage the decline of American Empire. Leaving it to the likes of
Donald Trump is very clearly going to cause a tremendous amount of pain and a tremendous
amount of violence. Not to say that the liberals would manage the end of American Empire better.
They would probably still continue waging war. They probably be a little bit more
are careful and their initiatives. But the goal here is not to accelerate that demots,
especially considering that it is going to be. What, what other option was there unless
you want Trump to win? Please sit down. Was the other option? Was that the other option?
You cannot be seriously advocating for why voting for Donald Trump was the right thing
to do right I mean look around dude like they're under under no circumstances do you vote for a
fashes. Come on. That's insane.
Kamala would have gone to war with Iran. First of all,
there's no guarantee.
of that reality let's be
was be fair
secondly i mean she did posture as though she would
secondly we're already in war with a rock
so it don't really matter does it
and uh... right on cue the rgc navy is firing towards the straight of hormones
nice
and for them politically
heading into the military
Join us now with some perspective on all of this as retired U.S. Navy Admiral Gary Ruffer.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Admiral, I mean what do you make of this period they've had away and how unprecedented it
is?
Well first, Max, I'd say that I couldn't be more proud of the men and women on the
Abraham Lincoln, but also on all of the ships that are part of that strike group.
It really has been an epic deployment when you consider that they've operated and-
Okay, this shit is boring.
All right, let's hear what Jeffrey Saks had to say.
But what's happening with the United States in particular right now, but I would say also
Europe and the U.S., there are large budget deficits and less credibility of the Western
financial order more generally.
So I don't believe this is because we have a booming economy with AI and all the rest.
No.
This is basically a shift of assets out of the U.S. dollar and into renminbi, into Asian
equities and Asian financial assets.
Interest rates are much, much lower in China.
China is a high-saving country.
China is not buying U.S. Treasury debt like it used to to a very large extent and
maybe this raises another very important point very hypothetical or
speculative on my side but I do believe that we are in a geopolitical bubble as
I described which is the gap between our perception of unipolarity and the
reality of the world and that it actually fuels the financial bubble that we're in as well.
So it's not just that US interest rates are rising, but as you know our stock market valuations
are at astounding high levels and this can be measured in many, many ways.
two of the most standard ways of measuring this anomaly are the value of U.S. equities
relative to U.S. GDP. And that's now 2.4 times U.S. GDP. This is a historic high. So that's
called the Buffett ratio. And the other is the price earnings ratio, especially the
so-called Schiller cyclically adjusted price earnings ratio. This is also at an
all-time high. So you say, well, is that a bubble or not? One side says, no, it's not
a bubble. We have the magnificent seven AI companies. They have the greatest technology
in the world. They're going to capitalize this a trillion times, and that's why we
have this boom, because it forages the golden age ahead. The other side says, come on,
We've been through the dot-coms.
We've been through so many other tulip manias
like this in the past.
This is an exaggeration.
And my view is that is the correct view
and that it is related to the idea of the US unipolarity.
It's related to the idea that the US is the unique thing.
But what I see with my own eyes already,
as I said, going back 30 years,
But I see it every time I visit China, which is many times a year now.
China is based fucking love China.
He loves.
He loves China, bro.
Oh, you're like a crazy person all the time.
I'm like looking at another country that has been able to develop so much
that has been able to build so much, develop so much, become a fucking powerhouse
quietly on the sidelines.
Meanwhile, we are lighting everything we had on fire.
It's just, you know what it is?
It's the potential. America represents a promise. America represents tremendous potential. And we, my friends, have squandered it.
We just destroyed it. Lit it on fire year over year, stabbing ourselves over and over again, just destroying everything.
I hate it. I hate. I hate what a disappointing project this has become.
Shout out to the mouth breathers and swings that no, no, no, it's not just their fault.
No, but you think if Democrats were in charge year over year that we would we would not be continuing our endless militarism overseas. I'm talking about broader issues chatter.
Yes, Republicans are worse than the Democrats. It's the most like destructive force is the most destructive anti-America force.
But as leadership has built on top of previous leadership's goals and growth targets in China,
ours has continuously built on failures of the past.
Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama. There were so many turning points that we just refused
to take. It's just, it's just so frustrating, dude. I don't know. Stop Kirk baiting. Yeah,
I'm Kirk baiting.
Wealthy is nation on earth man. Wealthy is nation on earth. Defeated the Nazi scourge,
coordinating with the Soviets of course. And then immediately got the work to fight against
the USSR. Jeff Sachs has talked about this extensively as well. There's this like period
of hope and promise and the immediate aftermath of World War II, right? Or there's this
attitude demonstrated by FDR, of who will be the architects of the world order.
No, it's not a historical necessarily. It's just I want to think about what it could have been
if we just didn't pursue the Cold War immediately.
If we followed along FDR's vision, but of course, America being a proto-capitalist in
the capital's nation made that impossible.
Basically matching U.S. technology, but in the AIS sphere, as we know, it's giving it
away, open weight models.
And those are the models that are being taken up all over the world because they're ten
times cheaper than the U.S. proprietary models.
So then you start to say, hmm, you're really going to bank on just the magnificent seven
with this glory days ahead and not take into account that we've got a big world out there
and many ways to reach the same outcomes.
So my view is that it's not only the dollar that will shift, it's not only the rising
interest rates and the falling demand for U.S. treasuries, but I think we're going
have a major financial correction as the geopolitical bubble also bursts.
Timing of bursting bubbles is the biggest mystery in finance, but I would say that when we reconvene
certainly in the years ahead, we're going to be looking back at that American stock
market boom saying, what were they thinking?
Just like we did with the dot-coms and just like we did in 2008.
She is playing into U.S. vassals.
She politely called on nations in the region to stop being U.S. vassal states, reminding
Arabs that the Palestinian issue is at the core of the Middle East question, and should
never be overlooked or marginalized.
People in the Middle East should remain masters of their own affairs and external interference
should be rejected, she said.
China stands ready to work with regional countries to eliminate the root causes of the conflict
wait.
I'm sorry what?
I mean this is so funny he's not going to do shit, still the, I think it's the second
largest trade partner to Israel still to this day for the record.
Just mentioning that really quickly for those of you who are wondering, I don't think
he's eliminating anything.
can't even eliminate a trade. So, oh man. What happened to HaasGhort? I don't know.
What happened now to HaasGhort? What's going on? What is happening to HaasGhort? Are you
You guys being fucking annoying?
Nothing is going on with Hosscord.
What?
Why did you nuke Hosscord?
I didn't.
I'm looking at it right now.
Spamming Hossgord mentioned and posting cat gifts.
Anyway, oh God, why does the Atlantic keep writing these fucking effort posts about me?
It's crazy.
But I'm actually still in the process of talking to a lot of people.
Well, capital who reacts builds the knife funding the university is divesting from Israel.
Meanwhile, yeah, if you want to understand like how insane our country is, here's here's
some choice words from the Jerusalem post economic enlistment for indebted military
The war has been rhetorically fused with Israel's operations in Gaza and the American public rejects
diffusion. Recruitment numbers are running below what a ground invasion of Iran would require.
Estimates for a successful ground campaign against Iran's 31 provincial commands and its Mosaic
Defense Doctrine run between 750,000 to 1.5 million American troops. How many Israeli troops
will be on board with this initiative? That's right, a whopping zero.
will be on board with this initiative. That's right. A whopping zero. Okay. But hey, guess
what? We'll send American sons and daughters over to Iran to advance Israel's agenda in
the region so that Israel can remain the, the supremacist state that it wants to be
with no impediments whatsoever, no setbacks whatsoever, no sovereign superpowers or meddling
Middle powers is a matter of fact in the region that could potentially create a sufficient
military deterrence to their greater Israel project. Of course, 1.5 million Americans.
How do we get them? How do we get them on board? The current active US army stands at roughly
452,000. The math does not work, obviously. Based on American history, however, there is a
path forward, not conscription or draft in a World War-era sense, but enlistment through
a debt-forgiveness program.
The average American aged 18 to 34 carries more than $40,000 in non-mortgage debt across
student loans, credit card balances, auto loans, and personal loans, with some estimates
going as high as $100,000.
This is the cohort the Pentagon needs, a federally-administered debt-forgiveness
enlistment program that fully discharges student loan, credit card, and loan balance
after 24 to 36 months of service and extends the GI bill, would produce voluntary enlistment
at scale.
Yeah, the Pentagon asked for creative ideas here are three the real question is whether
Washington has the political stomach to execute any of them.
And that awesome?
Let this sink in.
Israeli media is brainstorming on how to get the U.S. to start a land war with Iran, despite
massive problems, including a shortage of soldiers, that the 1.5 million soldiers would
be needed.
The solution?
Well, according to Jerusalem Post, the U.S. should offer to erase student loans
and credit card balances for the young Americans willing to join the slaughter, the cost would
of course be massive and it would be paid for by ordinary American taxpayers all because
Israel wants more war.
I have a separate idea.
It's called not going to war with Iran.
It's called retreating and not doing this.
It's called, Raining Israel the fuck in.
Like what is the gain for this military ambition that Israel gets to implement the greater Israel
project without any impediment?
Is that not to come across as anti-Semitic of course, but I don't think Israel should
be able to do the greater Israel project.
Oops, that's too late.
I already said that and therefore, you know, when you say stuff like, I don't
I think 1.5 million Americans are forced into service because of their debt-peanage should
go and advance Israel's military ambitions in the region.
I know that's the most anti-Semitic thing I could possibly say.
I condemn Asan Piker.
Asan Piker, you are wrong.
I'm a monster, I know.
It can now be overstated how much Israel's got away by convincing Trump to fight this
war.
an endless escalation, Hormuz closed, U.S. burning thru attacks dollars, and countless
people needlessly killed, all while Israel suits back and watches.
Israel lobbied for this for decades, and Yahomash had duped Trump into starting the fight, knowing
full well that he'd never admit failure, and now the whole region is getting absolutely
fucked for no reason other than ensuring Israel suits pretty unscathed.
Okay, I did not sufficiently condemn myself, it seems we're effing again, I apologize,
Israel high I do think it's a good idea to send American sons and daughters to
Iran. Okay. I was wrong to say that. I was wrong to say that I am actually in
favor of going to war with Iran further. That's awesome. That's great.
Fantastic. Also, I think college campuses should have their funds revoked.
If students want to boycott Israeli companies or institutions, including those in the settlements, I was wrong about that as well.
Am Israel high? Perfectly normal for 33 Democrats to join in with the Republicans to vote.
Sampagos coming to UT Austin. Here's why his attention, his appearance is drawing attention. Oh, here we go.
I'm so fucking tired, man.
Or how does Patrick bed David have better internet than you?
He does not.
He doesn't live in Los Angeles.
Another condemnable article.
The House just passed an insane new bipartisan bill that lets private individuals sue University for boycotting major strategic partners, defined as Israel only, declares that Americans don't have a constitutional right to boycott anything.
Incredible.
Congress keeps coming out with creative end runs around the constitutional right to boycott. Well, I guess we don't really have a constitutional right to boycott any longer, right?
Did you see this?
Yes, Justin Barragona over at Zateo News tracked how obsessively cable news is covered
to Sompiker.
Kornamar Research Fox News mentioned them in 566 segments across 267 programs since 8-4.
And in the last week alone, they ran 107 segments,
potiling nearly eight hours of airtime.
Isn't that great?
Yeah, former 538 ABC pollster on the polling question
Uh, said this, would you vote for candidate A who loves America or candidate B who kicks
puppies for fun?
He's making, he's cracking jokes at the expense of the unbelievable verbiage on this, uh,
poll that, uh, even some of my biggest haters weren't really floating around as a, as a
cause for celebration because it's literally as a push for, should Democrats embrace
or reject people like a son of a biker who said America deserve 9 11 is an insane
way to ask that question.
I don't see and Jopal gave close to the hill about you.
Well, can't really write that, but when they say can't really read that because it's behind
a paywall.
Okay.
All right.
Let's see.
What the fuck images with bridges on them.
you know, you want the breakers happen. Images with bus on. Okay, I can't do this. I can't
do this. This is craziness. This is craziness. Bicycles. Oh my God. It's not working. Okay,
Unwalled that for me, please
Wait, maybe I can just eat this element. Oh
Yeah, it worked. Okay. I bypassed it. I bypassed it on the ballot the provocateur both parties can't stop talking about
The name on everyone's lips is washed in, and one of the most talked about Senate race
this fall is neither Canada's, as Sam Pyger has been described as a left-wing shimmer
from California for some.
Progressive is part of the equation.
They argue the party needs to build a winning coalition to other Democrats and many Republicans.
He's anti-Semitic and a communist fanatic.
Pyger robust 3.1 million followers on livestream platform Twitch has become one of the
Republican's favorite talking points of the campaign trail, particularly in Michigan.
Some Democrats argue the progressive commentators of the distraction in the high stakes
midterms, while others view him as a threat to their party.
I'm not going to defend all of his views, Pramila Jayapal told the Hill, Pramila Jayapal
told, that's for him to do.
But I don't know why all of a sudden the standard is you have to agree with everything he said,
she added.
Noting lawmakers regularly work with colleagues they don't share the same views with.
In the fierce fight for the open Senate seat in Battleground, Michigan, affordability
U.S. trade war with Canada, data centers, and healthcare have emerged as key issues
with the Los Angeles-based influencers dominating cable news shows and the social media
chatter.
It is absolutely ludicrous that so much oxygen from sitting elected officials
the United States Congress being dedicated discourse around a Twitch streamer for young people,
representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told The Hill.
Pakistan nominee Mike Rogers is dubbed to sound piker, who joined Abdul Al-Sad on the
trail during the primaries of Democratic opponents running mate, and Prest al-Sad
that this is about the far left to streamer's controversial remarks.
Piker has been denounced for suggesting that Jewish people's support for Israel
could make anti-Semitism worse. He has also come under fire for his remarks on Hamas,
the October 7, 2023 attacks in Israel and 2019, comment stating America deserve 9-11.
Piker has pushed back on the accusations of anti-Semitism, saying his criticism is the
the U.S. and Israeli governments, saying his criticism is of the U.S. and Israeli governments.
He acknowledged that he could have phrased his comments about 9-11 differently, apologizing
to any he may have offended, spokesperson for the Piker did not comment, did not respond
to the Hill.
But it's not just Republicans that have condemned the influence, or many Democrats
also want to draw a line in the sand.
Hillary Sholton, a prominent critic of Piker's told Hill that he's engaged in a level
of hate speech that has no place within our party, deeply anti-American sentiments
that I think should be condemned roundly by everyone and not embraced by this
party.
should people not be on stage with them or take his support, they should condemn his views and what
he has said represented Josh Gottheimer echoed. And I think, I think anything short of that is
unacceptable. A cathartic experience. While Piker is widely known as one of the most prominent
Twitch streamers on the far left, his reach extends well beyond just one platform. Bites of
his live streams, rapid-fire commentary about politics and culture blended with real-time
reactions. The audience chats are caught up and circulated everywhere from YouTube to TikTok,
often getting picked up by media outlets like Fox News and MSNOW, where commentators dissect
his remarks. Here's the structural problem with what I do as a live streamer Piker told
the new Republican April. I'm talking about 10 hours a day on very volatile issues. If you were
talking for 10 hours a day, you're going to say stuff that could very easily be misconstrued,
he added later. Some argue that the Democrats should be tapping into Piker's audience,
which is male dominated. I think that we have been talking about how we need to reach out to
all parts of our party and also how difficult it is sometimes to get people to pay attention
to politics. And so streamers are important in that, Jayapal told the Hill, noting Piker isn't
the only, uh, only online person that Democrats should court. One of Piker's first forays in
in a mainstream political sphere happened in 2020 when a quasi-courtesan herbs in Ilhan Omar played
the video game among us popularized during the pandemic with piker another popular two
streamers in a push to turn out younger voters for the election the stream garnered 400,000 views
per mother jones in 2024 piker attended the dnc as part of organizers pushed to reach younger
voters via social media influencers piker was later kicked out of the convention which he
contributed to his criticism of organizers for not hosting a palestinian american speaker
he initially backs Ernie uh center bernie sanders in 2020 before ultimately getting behind
former president Biden that November. He declined to endorse former vice president Harris for the
2024 nomination. That year election cycle mail voters shifted to the right, and this demographic
makes up much of Piker's audience. Piker told Semaphore in March that an average house on
Abbeyhead is a white male in their mid-late 20s, noting that many of college degrees.
Piker gives fans high-level political analysis in a language that sounds like you might hear
it across the bar. Brandon Harris, a university Alabama professor that studies creators and
sports media told The Hill. A key part of his appeal, Harris explained, is his ability
to tap in the Gen Z and Milano angst over economic instabilities facing their generation. They're
angry at not being represented. They're angry at being told that their desires and political
aspirations are childish, Harris said. And I think that for many people, the Sompiker is a
cathartic experience. He does have a certain reach. And yet most Americans still don't know
who Piker is. I think the attention is way, way overstated. Over 80% of voters do not know
who he is, said longtime Democratic pollster, Salinda Lake, who's working for LSAT's
campaign, but spoke to the Hill in her personal capacity. And I think that a lot of conservatives
are using a divert attention away from Trump.
A June poll found that just 12% of respondents viewed Piker favorably, while 66% did not
know him.
68% of voters who cast ballots for the former vice president did not have a position on
the streamer.
Younger generations, those between ages 18 and 29, as well as ages 30 to 44, were
more likely to know the streamer.
I don't know about all Democrats, but certainly for those of us who represent younger demographics,
he does have a certain reach.
Omar, who was campaign with Piker, told CNN's Caitlin Collins last month, and
only become more involved in the political scene in the last two years.
Piker was an early supporter of now-Mayors are on Mumdonies in Surge campaign in New
York City. He's also made national headlines in September of that year.
After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the late conservative activist whom
Piker was set to debate later that month, Piker wrote an op-ed for the New
York Times condemning the rising tide of political violence. Mumdonies main
opponent, Governor Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent in the mayoral race.
This is actually a very well-written article so far. This is kind of
shocking who ran as an independent in the mayoral race seized on Mumdoni association with piker
ads paid for by a super PAC supporting comos bid pointed to pikers 911 comments mbc news reporter
pikers apologized for the remarks which mumdoni called reprehensible these comments have defined
the twitch dreamer on the national stage as he stepped up his campaigning for progressive
and democratic socialist candidates this year prompting some members of the democratic party
to disavow them and urging their own to avoid appearing alongside him
He's not a Democrat. He's a Democratic socialist. So easy answer. No, Sholton told the Hill when asked if Piker should play any role
within the party. Piker, however, has shrugged off the idea that he's a drag on his choice candidates.
I think the fact that the Abdul race was so close meant that, you know,
the fact that I was able to bring the in the under 45 crowd early on and fundraising key moments probably helped a lot in
driving him across the finish line. He told Vox earlier this month a liability with potential political power.
power. Regardless, some Democrats worry that Piker has turned into a distraction, a detriment
to the party as they seek to flip the House and Senate this fall. At this point, he's
a liability because we can't seem to talk about the issues facing Michigan and now
Ampdoul's better candidate than Mike Rodgers because the whole conversation is around.
Piker said Democratic strategist Antoine Seawright, I wonder who did that? I wonder
I wonder who did that.
I wonder who allowed that to happen and leaned into it.
Perhaps some of those people are actually in the article themselves.
Harris however pointed out that Piker could be an asset to Grasso's Democrats moving forward.
He pointed out that Twitch streamer has galvanized oddities to make donations or phone bank for
candidates.
Still his role in the campaign trail moving forward likely be up to the very people
that have denounced them as potential political power and influence of the Democratic
party is very much limited by what they're going to accept on their platform.
Harris said, yeah, I think these guys don't understand it.
Even Harris who is, uh, is like a, uh, a college professor
in, in, uh, on the media side, on the new media side from Alabama,
he doesn't get it. This is very old school.
The idea that I am going to stop doing what I'm doing,
cover the news or stop organizing around issues that I care about is silly.
Right? Like, even if every single Democrat going forward was like,
I disavow a Sompiker, I think,
I think his Sompiker is bad. I think if Sompiker is a burden,
you should stay away from every campaign.
This movement is not going to go away. Right?
This movement is not going to go away. It's just not going to go away. The enmity, the angst, the animosity is not going to go away.
As a matter of fact, my success so far in an otherwise unbelievably hostile media environment on the independent side,
Because even on the independent media side, they're still shared resentment with the boomers.
Resentment towards communism, socialism, Marxism, wokeism.
But the reason why this has been a resilient force, this community has been a resilient
force in spite of the attacks, is because we're tapping into something that people
feel.
We are trying to get other people on board with real systemic critique as opposed to deflecting
the blame over to trans people, deflecting the blame over to undocumented migrants,
deflecting the blame over to black people, brown people, your neighbors, women in general.
So even if every single Democrat was like, fuck this guy, every single Democrat came
out tomorrow was like I'd never want to see a sump hike or ever again. The notion that I would stop
doing what I'm doing is so stupid because the collaborations that I have had with some choice
Democrats or rather Democratic Socialists and Bernie Kratz affiliated with this broader left
movement is a blip in my media career.
This is new stuff that we're trying out and we're testing.
We've been building without mainstream attention for a decade and we will continue to build,
we will continue to grow and we will continue to make demands.
The condemnation embargo of Hassanabe and the neo-McCarthyism is an entirely misplaced
disciplinary and exertion? Yes. And it will fail. It will fail. And that's why these guys
don't understand that it will fail. Because they don't understand what this is. They don't
understand what we are about. They don't recognize that we have been sidelined in perpetuity.
We have been sidelined for the past decade.
This is the first time that we have become undeniable as a political force in this country
because we have contributed to the electoral process in meaningful ways.
And we were able to do that not with consolidated power backing us, not with corporate PACs
backing us.
we were able to do that in spite of those corporate packs attacking us every step of the way.
That's what these people don't understand. Their world view is limited to the confines of what
they know. From their perspective, they think, oh, Abdul made this guy a mainstream figure by
bringing him on the campaign with him. I always say I never thought that it would be that big
of a deal. And I'm certain that many of you didn't think that it would be that big of a deal to
campaign alongside a candidate as opposed to highlighting a candidate on stream fundraising
for a candidate, right? They think that's a big deal. Those in positions of power think that's
That's a big deal, it's not.
We're simply connecting the previously disconnected audiences with candidates that are worthy.
I was watching a leftist critique of you and others, they made some decent points but
But I left a comment about how many people don't have time to build a new Communist Party
from scratch.
This is literally life and death for people.
Yes, the leftist critique of me is that I am squandering the revolutionary potential
of the masses by filtering it back into the Democratic Party.
I'm a DNC sheepdog, I know.
I am forcibly, I am forcibly taking all of these self-identifying socialists who
might not have actually been self-identifying socialists only a couple years ago who are now self-identifying as socialists
and then filtering them back into the bourgeois electoral democracy.
I know. I know that that is the critique.
I've heard it many times over.
We don't have any other viability right now. We don't have any other viable options.
It was Michael from Pennsylvania who correctly pointed out that, uh, what's his name?
Who was the guy? I think it was Zoran's roommate as a matter of fact who initially ran as a green party guy
He failed and then he ran as a Democrat and now he's
He's a successful socialist in New York City
Is it Jabari?
Zoran Mamdani if he ran
Yeah, it was Jabari. Yeah Jabari Brissport if Zoran Mamdani ran as a third party socialist
He would not be the fuck mayor of New York right now, okay?
That's it is that simple there would be no
There would be no growth in this socialist movement there would be no growth in self identifying people self identifying a socialist no growth in the socialist alternative
No growth whatsoever
Okay
This system is designed as a duopoly, but that duopoly also presents opportunity for us.
One must not ask the question why Democratic Socialists run on the Democrat ballot line.
One must ask the question why so many lifelong Democrats are excited to vote for Democratic
socialist instead of establishment liberals. That is the real question. And I know the
answer to that real question. It is because for far too long, Democrats have presented
themselves as sympathetic figures to higher degrees of socialization. They run on reinstating
the New Deal-style Democratic Party, a party platform like that, and they've lied about
it.
Well, we say we're done with the lies.
We say we want responsive politics.
We say we're going to run our own candidates.
Take it up with your fucking voters, okay?
Take it up with your voters.
What is a party if not all of its voters?
What is the Democratic Party but a brand, but an opportunity for ballot access?
That's what this is.
Take it up with the Democratic process.
This is not an over, this is not a problem that establishment Democrats can overcome
no matter how much they try to
otherize us, no matter how much
they try to cast us aside to
treat us like fucking social
pariahs. At the end of the day
when push comes to shove, when
people go in and vote, they are
voting for socialists. Those are
your voters and they are now
our voters. So what you have to
recognize is either we're in it
together and this is a broad coalition of anti-trump forces coming together to
defeat Trumpism, defeat the forces of fascism in this country, or you have to
step aside because we're coming.
Anti-electoralists pretend that the shortcomings of electoral pushes mean
that the avenue has no value at all. Every pursuit has value in building the
left. The fact electoralism is gaining traction means masses of people are
becoming more open to other socialists organizing as well. Absolutely.
This is why I love the democratic socialists of America because there's
different schools of thought on this process. Here's the reality.
If the Democrats force a break in the process
and deny us ballot access,
that will be a,
That will be a factor in the radicalization of many others, okay?
They will never win another election again, ironically enough, and I don't think they want that.
I think they still want to, you know, have some semblance of power.
Because can you imagine if there's two left parties, one socialist, and one democratic,
and then a right-wing fascist party?
That's how you have end times fascism over and over, and that's how you democratically
vote in fascist year over year.
Fox News has two modes now either bashing you, bashing and misrepresenting you or being
openly pedophilic.
Nice.
Absolutely.
Absolutely, we still have 3.6 million births a year, but the problem is teens and young
adults.
From ages 15 to 19, the fertility rate is down 7 percent and it's down 70 percent over
the last two decades, meaning we're telling people that are young not to have babies to
wait till they're in a more stable life situation, till they're more financially secure, maybe
they haven't found the right partner.
Do push-ups every time a conservative turns out to be a pedophile. Every time.
Gross. Gross thing to say, my man.
I don't think Abdul has done enough at this point in time to gain our full support with an endorsement.
endorsement, Zach Nestle, the secretary of the Michigan Democratic Jewish Democratic Caucus,
the son of State Attorney General Dana Nestle, told The Times.
Adam Johnson says, really wish Daenerys Times would stop passing along cryptic mob threats and cut
to the core of why some Jewish leaders in Michigan are not backing al-Sayed. They're using
manufactured anti-Semitism smears until he capitulates and publicly affirms the axioms of
liberal Zionist dogma. He has to stop criticizing Israel as an ideological project
and embrace two-state solution and the right to defend itself liberal Zionist bromides.
If he does this, all the deep concerns over Hassan Piker and anti-Semitism will magically go away overnight.
Yeah.
Like, I am the second- I'm the second-place prize. I'm the- I'm the consolation prize, okay?
The number one prize for a lot of these guys is for Abdul to say,
Israel has a right to exist. I love Israel. We're going to give Israel weapons.
I was so wrong to say the other thing this entire time, right?
For many, that won't even matter either. For some, that won't even matter.
They'll punish him for even daring to entertain and winning the primary
without saying those words, right? Well, for some, for some in this coalition of
Abdul skeptics, as long as he says those words, they'll be like, all right, we'll shut the fuck up now.
Okay, we'll shut the fuck up now. And if that doesn't happen, at least like
the fuck-a-san ripcord is a second-place consolation prize. Okay?
That's why you see campaigns that fail, that still turn around and participate in this, uh,
Hasan Piker is a real burden, a real burden for the Democrats project.
You understand?
If we can't get anything else, at least we can boost this prominent critic of Israel's
negative approvals to the best of our ability in the process.
What these people don't understand, however, and I repeated this yesterday when criticizing APAC
directly, is that the Zionist project and its reception, its positive reception in America is
over. Okay? It's done. It's over. Whether you successfully tarnish my credibility, my reputation,
Seek out my humiliation on the timeline, dox my friends and family, harass me endlessly,
slander me endlessly. Whether you do these things or not, nothing is going to change
about the American public's reception on Israel. That project is done.
is done. And the worse it gets for Israel and the more Israel's lobby continues to do things
like this bill that just passed with 33 House Democrats, one that demands federal funds be
removed from universities who dare entertain a boycott on Israel, and just happen. The
The more things like this happen, the worse it's going to get not only for Israel, but
also for the concept of theoretical democracy in this country, because eventually people
are going to say, okay, no matter what we say and what we demand, you guys don't
respond to those demands.
So what the fuck are we doing here?
Logs when two guys that work out their abs every day get into a fight. They have an abdual
nice
Of the 47 house Democrats voted yes or sat out the vote to block federally for colleges
Universities who engage in Israel boycotts 15 were pro Israel J Street pack indoors candidates. Yes, J Street plays a role in this as well
237 members of Congress, including 33 Democrats, voted to pass a bill effectively forcing universities
to have a relationship with an Israeli entity.
Americans aren't compelled by law to buy American, but don't be surprised if a bill
soon passes forcing them to buy Israeli products.
I would not be surprised if that happened.
Why does a foreign country get to rewrite our constitution?
This is a question that I have asked for years.
Many people are shocked when they find out about anti-boycott divestment and sanctions
legislation that have been written and implemented in 38 American states.
38 American states require you to sign a loyalty pledge to the nation-state of Israel.
That is insane.
Not only is that insane, but it's also unconstitutional.
And yet it still continues.
Oh, you want to get along? Sign a loyalty pledge to Israel. You want FEMA recovery? Sign
a loyalty pledge to Israel. You're mad about your state funds going to Israel and you
seek out a collection of that taxable revenue to spend it back here on, you know, home turf.
We will revoke your government funds. We will revoke your state funds. All of those things
that I just mentioned have taken place on US soil already over and over and over again.
In my opinion, the Israeli government�s behavior is bad and we should stop giving them money,
but that�s not nearly good enough for today�s progressives. It�s not enough for most Dems
as moderates will soon have to confront. They�re tired of the special relationship
with this illiberal state, which extends far beyond aid, and includes the strange
U.S. laws that explicitly favor it, its protection from the UNSC, the ICC and more.
Even simply treating Israel like any other state would require more than just ending
aid but that's already going too far for some.
Yeah.
Speaking of which, what I'm saying, Dr. Dr. Abdul El Saeed went on.
Doctor of shit-stirring Steven A. Smith and his show straight shooter
Even a Smith asked Dr. Abdelaw said about his affiliations with me
Let's take a look at how he responded thing is there are three million people who listen to us on
I just and I want to offer them a pathway into an electoral movement
Where rather than sit us outside of the electoral system
They see a pathway around the things that they agree with that he says that I agree with
And a pathway that disavows the things that I disagree with and so it's important
I'm not thinking about him. You're not thinking about him. You're thinking about the three million people that support them
And you're trying to get those votes. That's what you're saying
Exactly, let me just be clear like I you know, I've been watching him for a very long time
And I'm glad to be on your show, but I'm not here to talk to you
You know this I'm here to talk to the people you're talking to absolutely right and and it's important to me
They hear my ideas exactly and it's important to me that they hear my ideas for my ideas and there are gonna be places where you and I
Disagree they're gonna be places where you and I fully agree and that's okay
And it's important to me not to just say you know politics as they say is it is a is a game of addition
You've got to be able to be not subtraction
The line Abdul
talking to a lot of people and a lot of different ways.
This is the same reason that last week I went on Jesse Waters.
You think Jesse Waters and I would most of the time?
I'm watching.
Right?
But I went on because I wanted to be able to talk to those folks who listened to Jesse
Waters and said, look, I need you to hear me in my own words, not what they're going
to say about me on this channel.
Like they talk about me like every 15 minutes.
I got to confess to you.
I don't know if the interviews have ever said this to you, but that's a damn good
answer.
Cooked. Cooked. Give you credit for that. That's a damn good answer, sir. I got to give it to you. I can't knock to that. I mean, if you're going to answer that question, that's the way you answer that question.
Cooked. Midwest Mum Donnie for real. Michigan is going to miss out on incredible representation in Congress. They don't like this man to the Senate. Don't even talk like that, lad. It's not. It's going to happen. It's going to happen no matter what.
WMFAO Stephen A seeing reason is the skill none of the greatest communicators can accomplish W Abdul.
Speaking of, speaking of Abdul El Saad receiving praise in strange places, it's not just
Stephen A. Smith, who had some choice words about our boy, Dr. Abdulal Said received some
high praise from the least likely place, Tucker Carlson, or not.
Here's a conversation between Tucker Carlson and Sager, but they are learning and I do
at the very least have to admire their ability to shapeshift from where they were not that
long ago.
Abdul El-Said is running in Michigan against Mike Rogers, who as you and I know, most
pro-intel, neocon, they couldn't find anybody else to run in Michigan or the United States.
By the way, lost already?
Why are they running him again?
Anybody want to tell me that?
Mike Rogers is really, I wouldn't vote for Mike Rogers at gunpoint.
Right.
That's the candidate the guy a literal loser who lost when Donald Trump won the state just to show you how much of a headwind
He had his back
Israel and the intelligence right how would you run someone like that?
I don't even it doesn't make sense. So that makes no sense
Well, I'll say it look I'll say it is a full-blown DS. He doesn't call himself TSA. He's a full-blown leftist. I
Don't know why I like soccer so much, dude. I don't know. I just he's so
He's so affable to me.
He's just, every time I think about his reaction to weed, no matter, he could be saying anything
and i immediately go to his reaction over all about like weed prohibition
is the master week prohibition at crackle focus mile
i've known him for quite a long time
this is someone personally and not well i've interviewed many times over the
years because of my co-host, Crystal. And so I've watched his ideological evolution who you could
easily call as AOC said was quote, woke one, right? woke one where he said, deep on the police on a
podcast, he said all kinds of silly things about football and masking standard leftist shipments.
Hates Mackinaw Island. He's for vaccine mandates. Right. Classic stuff. Right. I watch his
campaign now. It's America first. And now the times he says, he doesn't even when he
When he talks about Israel, he says, Israel is committing a genocide, but ultimately, I
want to make sure that you don't pay more for health care.
I don't want your tax dollars going abroad to fund this barbaric military.
He stands in front of a giant American flag.
It's almost Trumpian in terms of a lot of those problems.
Well, it's literally Trumpian.
Exactly.
And so you see candidates like that, especially him.
He will be the most interesting test case come November.
You see, he's going to win.
If I had to bet, which I don't, I would probably bet that he would win.
I would think so.
Do you have any idea not to fix it on Mike Rogers who I know, but I mean there's no one
who should be farther from a position of power than Mike Rogers.
How did he get the Republican nomination for Senate?
I looked into it.
It was relatively uncontested.
He had both, he had the most backing of the Michigan GOP, which is of course very
in touch with their own voters.
Mike Rogers?
So they just decided to go with it.
And again, this is the guy who lost to Slotkin when Donald Trump was able to win the state.
And so they can cry about vote rigging and all that as we want, okay, whatever.
But we all know that this is not a strong candidate in a wave year, which just happened.
And they decided to nominate him literally yet again, genuinely.
He was the A-PAC candidate, to be clear.
And he's told A-PAC not to advertise in public forums.
Right.
And do you see, that's what I was saying with El-Said, his ability to go up against
A-PAC and to win.
If you're a DSA person, that's got to be one of the most inspiring wins of your entire
life.
That's way bigger than Zor on Mom and Dad.
They've got to get rid of the social liberalism if they get rid of that because that's where
the world is.
Most people are not orthodox, free market people.
They just want the economy to serve their families.
Right.
I think that's fair.
They want to be treated fairly.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that at all.
And they're not for radical social change.
They think that there are two genders and each has a distinct role and like it's
It's not good to sexualize children and drugs are bad and...
Well, this is gonna be terrible for the campaign to sexualize children.
Like what the fuck are we talking about, man?
That's not a thing.
That's not a thing.
That's not a real thing.
Why do we have to constantly argue over fake shit?
Are you gonna at least make the argument that there is a concert effort to decriminalize
certain drugs?
real and we can have a conversation around prohibition versus abolition, that's fine.
But like it's just conservative grievances are so fucking made up. It is mind boggling how much
this just continues even when you have critical voices like Tucker Carlson or critical of Donald
Trump, critical of his affiliation with Israel and all this stuff. And they still, on this
issue, they still have to be like, well, you know, sexualization of minors is like, that's not a
thing, man. That's not happening. No one is advocating for that. No one. If anything,
conservatives talk more about the fertility of teenagers than anyone else does, really.
And there are more Republican pedophiles out there.
than anything else.
So if there's one party that's shown at sexualized minors, I would say it's the Republican Party.
Kind of want law and order. I mean, these are not crazy right-wing goals. Yeah, that's what we would call the socially roughly speaking socially conservative
view
No, he's presenting that as the socially conservative view. We don't want the sexualization of minors isn't
Implying that it's it's about like that's what the leftist broadly presented themselves as being in favor of
There was a funny moment where but yeah
Yeah, Ungar Sarganovacad was on C-SPAN and a caller asked about the double standard between
Hassan Piker and Laura Lumer.
Let's take a look.
Let me ask you about Hassan Piker because Laura Lumer just called a bunch of politicians.
politicians. Elected workers really nasty racist slurs. And she has the ear of the president
and actually fires people, and she's not an elected official. So if she is bad as Hassan
Piker, who is an influencer, how can you have a double standard like that?
Okay. Go ahead, Bacha.
It's a great question. She shouldn't have said that. I mean, Trump frequently says
things that I think are really ugly like I don't know why he has to call Hakim
Jeffries a thug. I find that kind of racially insensitive I really don't like
that. He got 25% of black men to vote for him and like I think that's a huge
achievement and should be...
It's funny to be like you know I'm gonna do you all better. We're out here
talking about a Sompiker as I love to talk about. Meanwhile, the president is a racist.
Okay, thanks, Batya.
He treated with a lot more care. So if she said, I don't know what you're referring to that she said,
but she shouldn't have said that. I had her on my program and specifically asked her about
things that she had said during the campaign. She said something, I can't remember what it was
about Kamala Harris. And I remember saying at the time, I'm not going to vote for Donald
Trump if he keeps palling around with somebody who would say something like that. And I
And I actually had her on my show and confronted her about that.
So I don't believe in a double standard.
I think everybody should be treating everybody with dignity.
And honestly, I think especially Republicans should be spending a lot more time trying
to make inroads in the black community because black voters are actually quite conservative.
They're the most conservative of the Democratic coalition, and they really don't like the
DSA.
They keep voting against the DSA candidates, whether it's in Michigan or whether it's
in New York City. In each of the cases, wherever a primary has been won by socialists, the
majority of black voters voted for the other candidate by big numbers.
What the fuck does this have to do with anything that she was asked about with respect to the
double standard of the Sampyger and Laura Loomer? I guess like she addressed it already.
She's like, I don't like Laura Loomer. I said it wouldn't vote for Trump if
Trump affiliated with Laura Loomer. Okay, well, Laura Loomer is still affiliated
with Trump and you're still supporting Trump. You even turned around and said, you even turned
around and said that, you know, Donald Trump himself was racist. Trumpism has been such
a boon for me. It's like, but yeah, I don't think people like her or the Weinstein brothers
would have any kind of career if MAGA didn't have the decade it has. I mean, it's yes,
In some respects, the MAGA movement's success has been a boon for every mid-wit out there.
This is the decade of stupids.
Also, Badia is very cleverly cutting out Donovan McKinney from this analysis, and Chris Rapp
from this analysis, and even Maylake Kiros from this analysis.
These are candidates who are not only black but also overperformed as opposed to her narrative
here.
Thaddea-Liza won the black vote as well.
Yeah, and even in the races that I'm not involved in personally, and G. Nixon comes
to mind, right?
It's very interesting that Batya is still running this fucking idiotic narrative.
They don't like the socialism, so I don't understand why Republicans are wasting capital
instead of actually trying to convince those voters that they could have a home in the
Republican Party.
But, you know, nobody listens to me.
And Batya just...
For good reason, Batya.
Yeah, Chris Hayes did a segment on...
Laura Loomer as well.
I don't like that these guys are cooking my ass every time they're like,
scaring of shrimp.
I guess it's fine.
It's better.
There being a double standard with the things that Laura Loomer says and Hassan Piker.
What are your thoughts on that?
Well, I mean, I condemn both.
I'm going to look into what she said.
I hadn't seen the most recent thing, but I'll look into that.
If she said something racist, I totally have no problem condemning it.
I have a real problem with the fact that the vice president of the United States of America
is friends with Tucker Carlson who is at this point hosting neo-nazis, praising neo-nazis on his program.
He's devoted his entire program now to the idea that Jews are the root of all evil.
I have a real problem with the fact that the vice president is friends with him.
I think that that makes him non-competitive in a general election in 2028.
We'll see Spannin' Bayou. They probably would.
Um, also during his interview with political Stephen A Smith said that a son pikers influence
with democratic parties and net negative, but also falls that up with saying he has never
done his research about a son and it's only heard about him through major media Smith
also said he would interview a son piker on a show.
It's so funny.
I love that he is just like, yeah, I don't know shit about this guy.
He fucking sucks.
Cool man.
No, I mean that that is like the overwhelming majority of people nowadays is just like
Like so many people in mainstream media are just like, yeah, I heard this guy fucking sucks
I don't know anything about him, but I heard he fucking sucks
Would I go on a show Steven Smith show? Yeah, of course
When are you going to do it I
Don't know I just found out about it so I'm down
We'll figure it out. Anyway, here's uh, Philip DeFranco from crashing out
We are stuck in the
Hassan piker
Hassaniverse well Phil we are just a couple months away from the most important midterm election of our life
Six months into a war that no one thought that we were ever going to be in except for the people that knew that we were gonna
Do this and we also started a new war with Canada, but none of that matters Phil none of that matters
Can I tell you why?
Because we have to denounce Hassan Piker.
That's what everyone is being asked to do.
We are stuck in the Hassan Piker universe.
It's the Hassaniverse.
And here we are.
Here we are.
I hate establishment dems.
They're like, hey, you know how the Republicans in Trump have just f***ing so horrifically?
Let's in fight.
Let's in fight.
Let's ask everyone about Hassan while there's a billion other problems.
I feel like there's a lot of people that want to snatch defeat from the jaws of
victory.
Yep.
That's right.
That's what it feels like.
Hell yeah.
The only reason we got Trump's because the establishment of useless.
I got so excited at the beginning until you explained it further.
Republican and Democrat leaders only come together when it means fighting
new ideas that might actually benefit their constituents.
They'll fight as hard as they fought Bernie.
So weird and sad.
I honestly think it's a good thing that we're directing attention
towards a well-spoken DC members like Asana was actually like how was it actually bad he's super reasonable and will sway people law and
Then immediately I knew that there would have be a comment like this dude
Tiktok has so many fucking bots
It's insane like actual NPCs like human beings that present themselves like bots and actual bots as well
As soon as someone says like oh dude, Asana is actually great like he's great at you know presenting these ideas
He's had tremendous success in like building a broad movement, whatever.
Right.
Immediately be like, I'm actually a leftist and I fucking hate that guy.
Okay.
Here's why.
And they'll always rehash like all of the, like the, the sex
pestony, uh, uh, generated talking points.
It's like he's fucking, he loves Mao Zedong.
He fucking hates America.
It's like, I can tell.
I used to be able to tell where the criticism was coming from. Was it like a right-wing reactionary perspective versus was it like
someone who was like a sex pest and he bought or something and
Honestly nowadays those criticisms have merged with one another and you will unironically have you know self-identifying liberals
Say things like Hassan piker is a vicious America hater. He needs to go back to his fucking country turkey
That Muslim goat fucker and I'm like dude, you're a Democrat. What the fuck you're supposed to be a lip-tart
You're supposed to be woke. What the hell is going on? I
Don't know how this happened
MS now liberals are just saying Steven Crowder lines now. They're repeating Steven Crowder lines
People like Sonic Terrible for the left in America because he's a perfect caricature of what the right thinks he, the exaggerated tanky is.
For example, people on the right think that all leftists still want to shit, shit like open borders.
And when he says dumb shit about wanting open borders, people on the right feel justified.
They can get actual progress done by actually making immigration more accessible. Yeah.
No, definitely man.
That's why the right called the left communists because of people like myself and not because they've been doing that far before I ever got on the scene, you fucking idiot.
Yeah, someone then replies with, you just took the caricature and then applied it to Hassan even when he doesn't do that, you just admitted you were as dumb as the Republicans who think that's what left to say all day because you just did the exact same thing.
Oh my god, John Marco cooking hard is hardly surprised. He is really bombing. Yeah, look at those last few movies have been crushed by critics. What a downfall
She defends you hard who's this
Anti-freaking Nixon make her the senator from Florida that will be the best
Revenge not just against MAGA but against those centrist Dems who act like they know shit
They don't know y'all don't know nothing. You don't know Florida
You don't know how angry and how disappointed and how enraged black women are at being ignored by you
What a trick that he's to say you don't know that you don't know net
About how we feel about the way that this party does not pay us back for our loyalty
If y'all don't jump out of your skin
100%. The fact that the DSCC is basically left anginax and behind is the clearest indication
that the party apparatus does not give a single shit about black women beyond demanding their
unlimited loyalty, demanding their work, demanding their sweat equity. That's all they care about.
Every four years or every two years, go out and vote. Okay, that's it.
it. It is insane to me. Not only is Angie Nixon a sweetheart, okay? Not only is she a resilient
fighter for Floridians. She is actually a very strong candidate, okay? Democrats in past midterm
election cycles have dumped tens of millions, if not in certain instances, hundreds of millions
dollars into races that were long shots with no upside whatsoever. Amy McGrath comes to mind in
Kentucky. Okay, no disrespect with Jamie Harrison is another one, right? Against Lindsey Graham.
Those were deep red states. You didn't have any issues dumping money into those races.
So, why are you not reorienting some of the funds that remain to Angie Nixon?
They'll say it's because Angie Nixon is in Florida, Florida is deep red, it's not going
to happen, okay?
But I say you've done that already, you've done that for long shot races and you won't
do it for Angie Nixon.
It's ridiculous.
It's bullshit. Okay. Bullshit. Common sentiment. Roland Martin has pissed off the Bacari seller
who's happy less money will go to Florida because Angie Nixon won to act as if her win
was a nothing burger and we're not going to waste any money now. Well, this is precisely
why Florida is no longer a competitive state. Yeah. Roland Martin is right about that
as well. Of course, we leave behind, we leave behind these states and then we're surprised
as they become more red.
I get a lot more attention.
This was from CNN shortly at the primary.
And I want to get your reaction to what Bakari Seller said.
And I'm also just going to have a blunt message for Democrats.
We won't be wasting money in Florida now.
We were going to be spending tons of money on a Senate seat
that we were not willing to win in Vendaman,
instead of spending money in North Carolina and Ohio
and maybe even Iowa Senate seats we can win.
And now you're going to see that money not go to Florida.
Regardless of what national pundits
and national donors want to say about Florida,
there's something going on here.
There's a secret sauce that we have been working on
for many, many cycles at this point.
And this is going to be that year
that regardless of money that is coming into the door.
And of course I will always.
This is the most favorable national environment
for a Democrat to actually win a long shot race
in Florida that we have had in decades.
Okay?
It is incredible to me
that no one has taken this race seriously.
Part of that is of course,
because Angie Nixon is a black woman for sure.
And the other part of that,
and perhaps also just as consequential,
is that she's not just a black woman,
but also a progressive black woman.
Right?
A progressive black woman.
She would present a significant threat to the establishment Democrats.
She would present a significant threat to the ideological makeup of the Senate in the same way that Abdul is.
And that's precisely the reason why they don't want to fucking spend any money in her direction.
And they can simply say, oh, it's a deep red state. It's just not going to happen.
She's a progressive black woman who wants to keep our tax dollars here and not waste
it away in Israel.
Okay?
That is unacceptable for many establishment Democrats.
I encourage people to continue giving money into Florida, but know that we are not going
to be deterred by what money comes or doesn't come into the state.
We are all working in unison.
We have been coordinating for the last two years all of our sister organizations
here in our state.
in lockstep. People are so angry about what has happened to our state. Ron DeSantis tried
to sell our state parks for golf courses. Alligator Alcatraz, $1.2 billion, again, stolen from
the people of our state.
Yeah. Meanwhile, Angie Nixon's opponent, Ashley Moody, is hand selected by Ron DeSantis.
She was appointed to that position. She had a somewhat competitive primary, but she was
appointed to that position nonetheless. And as the attorney general, she was called
doing fraud, Medicaid fraud to the tune of $10 million. That is a very weak opponent.
Angie Nixon not only has the capacity to excite the base and draw turnout from many communities
that previously would not have voted with her left populist candidacy and also fact
that she's a black woman and there are, you know, many black voters in Florida that
will absolutely turn out for Angie Nixon, especially black people in the south are very, very frustrated
with what has taken place the Voting Rights Act, like they're being purged in the rolls,
they're having their political participation erased. Republicans are actively rewriting
the gains of the civil race struggle.
There is a real opportunity here in Florida.
And we're just throwing it to the side.
State, don't understand with what Bacari said is this.
First of all,
so Venman runs against Nixon voters decided in a huge way
And to act as if her win was a nothing burger and then oh, we're not gonna waste any money now
But this is precisely why Florida is no longer a competitive state
It's no long competitive because what Bacari said is what Democrats have always done, which was which was ridiculous
It's why they didn't vote invest in Texas. It's why they didn't invest in Georgia. I'm telling you I
was
Chris Van Hollen was in Congress and on the night Obama wins,
it was the next morning, we're in the wings waiting to go on CNN
and I specifically asked him,
why are they not making investments in Georgia and Texas?
Oh, it's red. I said, it's not red.
If you look at the data, oh no, it's not red.
Well in 2012, that's when Stacey Abrams and Raphael Warnock
and others said, hey, we're going to put this effort together
and it paid off eight years later in 2020
Warlock winning old soft winning and Biden Harris winning, but as long as Democrats nationally
keep saying this message of well, we got no shot. Oh, oh my goodness. Uh, you know, no,
uh, you know, you know, Florida is not democratic socialist. I mean, that's why it's now read
the
and start condemning that
play face beast
that keeps on attacking black women
that attack the court justice a cotage brown jackson that attacked
uh... black women who are members of congress and former members of congress
and you don't jump up
out of your seats, mainline Democrats and start going 38 hot.
You better go DEF CON 1 on Laura Loomer and you better do it today.
Don't do it tomorrow.
Do it today.
We need to hear you go as hard on that clay faced beast as you have gone on Hassan Pikerway
done you nothing wrong.
He's done nothing to you but demand Medicare for all for your voters.
He's trying to get your voters health care.
They don't care about that.
He's done nothing to you but say stop sending bombs to them.
who are killing those children in Gaza.
That's what he's done that offends you.
Get a life, Democrats.
Go as hard on that racist, Islamophobic beast
that you have gone on Hassan Piker.
Show us that you care, because that person
went after your candidate for the United States Senate
in Florida.
She's your candidate.
You know how other Republicans like to say,
Trump is your president?
She's your candidate, Democrats.
You better give her some money and help her to win.
Come on now. And if they don't give her any money
and she wins, she owes them nothing.
She owes you nothing.
You don't get nothing. You don't get nothing.
You get nothing.
If she wins, she owes you nothing.
That was awesome.
Same smoke.
They're setting up dumping money in the lame-ass Annie Andrews. They keep releasing bullshit internals with their tide are up
It's so blatant that the ecz wants to set her up as an excuse to not spend on Angie
We can't spend on Angie because we're spending on Annie who's much stronger is so blatantly racist who Annie's still gonna get wiped by 15 plus I
Just look man. I just don't know. I don't know what like
Like I don't know what that because Angie's up. I mean any interest up against a very weak opponent too, right?
Was this actually you go fuck is this on doing?
doing
Yeah, that's me dude, I'm just cranking one out
Is that what I look like to you is that what I look like to you
I guess that's what I look like, except I'm not wearing a suit in that, so obviously I'm not. That's not me.
That's White Hasan. Spitting image. Jesus Christ.
How could you even tell that me I'm not wearing a suit?
I wouldn't call it uncanny, but there's a resemblance. Okay, shut up.
Shad app
Tyrus on butt felt had this to say about my newfound popularity. Let's take a look at this negativity
So it has on piker this week isn't because they disagree with them. It's because he's getting more attention to them
AOC literally sound like me girl. She's like, um, I don't think anyone should care
I get it. My white voice is not as good as Tom's black voice
But all this such a fucking idiot dude. It's crazy. All right, UT Austin University of Texas,
Austin, I'll be inside of you soon. The Austin American Statesmen reports a Sompiker is coming
to UT Austin. Here's why his appearance is drawing attention. Leftist Twitch streamer and political
commentator Sompiker will speak at the University of Texas, which by the way was supposed to be
like a tiny room that they put us in and it insta sold out. They put us in like a 500 person space
and it sold out in a matter of seconds. So then the school realized like maybe we need to or the
college Democrats realized the university Democrats realized maybe we need a bigger auditorium.
University Democrats UT Austin Democratic Student Group announced the speaking event on
on Wednesday night. It's scheduled for September 30th and limited to UT students, faculty and
staff. The group said those in attendance can expect to hear from Piker on a variety of topics,
ranging from immigration to genocide to the future of the Democratic Party. The Instagram post
featuring the news circulated across social media platforms. In the announcement post,
the majority of reactions were positive with many people expressing excitement about the upcoming
experience. Others were supportive, but noted concerns that the university would be pressured
to cancel the event that the event could face safety concerns on X, the planned event
spark backlash, most of it from right-leaning users. I did draw how the President of the
University of Democrats told the statesman that the vast majority among the students
are very supportive of the event. A few online trolls who thrive off hate do not represent
the views of the thousands of students at UT who believe that the status quo Americans
and the status quo of American attacks politics is simply not good enough.
Rah appointed to the university's approval of Turning Point USA's UT
Chapter's plan to host conservative podcaster Ben Shapiro on campus saying that if that
event could be approved. So could Piker's upcoming appearance Shapiro, who was based controversy
over his remarks on race and ethnicity, will be at UT Austin next month. The first amendment
applies to everyone equally. We understand that people's views of Piker are shaped by the media
they consume on a daily basis, which is often biased and tainted with ulterior motors. Raha
added, we invite anyone who may be genuinely unsure of Piker to stop by the event and give
him the opportunity to alleviate any concerns. The American statesman reached out to the
university for comment, but had not received the response of time of publication.
Piker's risen the prominence of the progressive policies for his political
commentary on the Hassan Ivan broadcasts, which channel he's gone on to appear opposite US,
representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, and more recently back
New York mayor, Zoram, I'm not doing his campaign. His rise is drawn backlash from critics over what
they described as controversial comments about Jewishville in 9-11. When asked by political
about some of these past comments, Piker didn't retract any of them. When asked if he had
ever misspoken, he said, misspoken, no, taken out of context. Absolutely. That's so funny.
They make me seem way more beast mode than I actually am. Cause yeah, of course,
or something there have been instances.
Wow, good article, what the hell is going on?
Now that we read one good article, it's time to read a bad article.
The Hassan Piker question, many Democrats would like him to go away by Elaine Godfrey,
atlantic
iralee on monday was for vice president vance brought up hard lift room and
attempt to pay the democrats in canada will set as anti-american
last week house-minor leader kim jeffrey's call piker's recent statements
about jewish america's dangerous and anti-sematic senator john also for
booger jackie rosin said much the same
basic questions about totally different set of piker's comments
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hustled into an elevator.
Some Democrats are trying to dismiss 35 year old political commentator as irrelevant.
He's just a streamer in California.
I'll say it's set on Saturday, waving up questions from reporters.
Piker himself has spent the past week casting himself as a victim of hysteria.
I become this media cycle's trans athletes or migrant caravan.
He posted on X, but it was outside who first made Piker Central lose campaign by
bringing him out on the trail, partying poolside with him in an influencer event
and celebrating with him during his election night rally.
In his thousands of hours of streaming, Parker has produced a dense catalog of
comments spanning the spectrum from stupid to incredibly offensive,
including several iterations of the phrase, I hate America.
And perhaps most memorably that America deserve 9 11.
He quickly attempted to walk it back.
I love when they write articles like this, where, which is like,
which, which basically eliminates any kind of like interest in,
in sincerely addressing your comments. Right.
I love that. It's like, nope, no takebacks. Sorry.
Came out of your mouth. Like, fuck you.
Thank you. Thank you for the objective opinionatorial here. It seems like a very reasonable and carefully
thought out, carefully crafted piece that will surely not be biased unbelievably. But
what do you expect from the Atlantic, which is, you know, the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic
is an Israeli occupying force prison guard. He was in charge of the Constitution camps
in the IDF at the time, so.
Yep, Jeffrey Goldberg, former IOF prison guard.
Also played a pivotal role in Signalgate, if you remember.
Anyway, the Sampikers part of the conversation has become central to the ruling strategy in
Michigan where outside will continue to be asked about them. So too will Democrats across
country.
Outside has moved away from Congress. He's winning the primary last month. The shimmer
has not been in the trail in Michigan. I've spoken with a good doctor, representative
club and 12 reporters with a medical degree. He has apologized. He says he will not campaign
with Piker anymore. After Piker's comments last week about American Jews, I'll say
the same thing. They ain't seen as a scourge.
When asked about Piker and me with the group of Jewish Democrats on Saturday, though
Oh, I'll say the client is a Valm.
If you want to make this race about a shimmer in California,
I think you're missing the boat.
Anyone could predict the Piker blowback.
Plenty of people did.
In March, one of us said, hello.
What?
Okay, hi.
What?
Let's take a Kaya break real quick.
Treat?
Guy, would you like a treat?
She didn't even look at me when I say treat anymore.
A little treat?
She doesn't believe it anymore.
She's lost faith.
She's lost faith in the treat.
Oh my God.
She's like, I'm out.
Julie, I got my treat.
I'm fucking out of here.
You can't addict, addict your dog to gambling if the outcome is predictable.
Because you're a liar and a tease.
You lie about treason.
We all know it.
No.
She says, see you.
Acting like a fucking Democrat. She trained she trained me is true
Yeah, she's gone. She's out. Oh, yeah
Was that all this was about?
Was that all you wanted?
All you want it was a treat
What
Back over
I love, I love how long it takes for her to get on the couch like she, she gets up there
like, and this is the same with the couch in the living room that she loves, okay.
But she, she is, she's a unit for sure.
She's massive.
Then it's so funny where she's like, oh, here we go.
Little steps.
She's so fat.
She gets on it like an old lady.
Yeah, she's like, I'm out.
Get the fuck out of here.
I'm fucking out of here.
What what are you doing? What are you doing?
Yeah, you got a bear on in couch.
Um, where were we were on this article?
Anyone could have predicted this piker blowback.
Plenty of people did in March, one of El size primary opponents,
Malin Mcmurder, compare Parker to the white supremacist influence
Nick Fuentes and the leaders of the Sanctis think tank were to call emerging Democrats
and not associate with prior. Everyone saw it coming from a mile away. So they should
have been better prepared to handle it. One democratic strategist told me, you know, what's
really funny about this, they turned it into a problem and they literally won't let it
go even though it's not a problem at all. Okay. Because there's two ways to go about
this. There's a way to go about it where you say, shut the fuck up Republicans. Have
you seen who the president is? And then there's this way of going about it where
you constantly keep needling at it so you can prove the point that you wanted to make
initially that when it failed, right? Because they tried this in the primary and it failed.
It failed spectacularly. As a matter of fact, it blew up in their fucking faces and they
never let go of that resentment because they lost their candidates lost. Their candidate
lost in spite of $70 million being spent in her direction. So they were like, we're
going to fucking keep going. Maybe Jasmine Crockett had a point where she kicked out the writer
of this piece out of a rally. Yeah, beast mode. None of the Democratic line operators I reached
out to would agree to speak on the record for this story, citing their support for L side,
as well as their fear of reprisal from Piker's rabbit online fans. Democratic strategies,
even some of L side's own backers fell similarly. Not all socialism is toxic to the Democratic
brand, but piker certainly is is one progressive strategist told me.
Is that the case?
Oh, the next time there's a socialist commentator, you'll certainly be much nicer to them.
Huh?
Yeah.
Let's just get rid of this one.
And then we'll see what happens.
Oh,
Oh, interesting. No, I definitely believe this person. I definitely believe this anonymous
progressive strategist.
The piker drama is a ribbon wrapped gift to the republics in a year with so much else
inflation, high gas prices on popular presidents working against them. They seem well aware
of this. Mike Rogers says we're probably going to opponent. The first piker is L
I'll say it's running mate. When I see Abdul, I'll say a campaign around state with someone
who said Americans are not allowed. When I see a man who is sympathy and compassion for
people who share his religion, but it's nothing for people who don't.
Then I said it a rally on Monday, what I asked you to, I love that this is like the heinous,
right? This is just a heinous Islamophobic, heinous Islamophobic garbage in Atlantic
is laundering it as though it's like just some regular old campaigning from the
the Vice President of America.
Awesome.
This is the role that Atlantic serves, by the way.
The Atlantic is here to launder heinous reactionary talking
points to a liberal audience, to make
it seem like the liberal readership,
to make it seem to the liberal readership
that these opinions are actually a lot more normal.
A lot more normal and a lot more valid.
It's not just like the cynical racialized agitative propaganda of a bunch of fucking
monsters that have ruined this goddamn country.
What I'd ask for you to remember is whoever you send to Washington, whatever policy views
you have or don't have, send people of good heart who focus on the right issues.
Yeah, not Hassan Piker, who fight for the right people who love the United States of
America.
The strategy is obvious.
Identify every repellent thing Piker's ever said.
Piker, I'll say.
I didn't advertise the relationship at every opportunity.
There's more than a hint of irony in the situation.
President Trump has shown strong affinity for shock jocks and trolls. In 2020, he awarded
Rush Limbaugh, who had a recurring segment celebrated the death of gay people from AIDS.
The presidential medal of freedom, Laura Loomer, far-right activist and ally of Trump last week,
referred to Senate Canada as a ghetto black communist base. Some Democrats see Trump suffered
little political consequences for such associations, believe it's unfair that Al said, should
have to answer a piker's actions. But politics like life is famously unfair. And it's
like, we are going to make sure that it's as unfair as possible for the Democrats.
Again, the Atlantic, a liberal outlet, supposedly liberal outlet, even though it is a Zionist outlet,
is going to write this article to say, look, it's just unfair, guys. We just have to fucking eat it.
We have to eat it from the Republicans. I'm going to make it unfair.
The Hassan discourse is dead, dead. Legacy media is absolutely cooked. Yeah.
Any liberal news network going to press the Vice President on his beautiful friendship
with Tucker Carlson after this? Nope, that's right. I didn't think so.
Like this is literally the Atlantic saying we're using the Republican strategy against the left
flank and you just have to sit there and fucking eat it. It's unfair. Sucks to suck.
Democrats are constantly be asking them, Piker and cable news hits and hallway
interviews even outside of Michigan. Several Jewish Democrats have weighed in too.
One spokesperson also said he unreservedly, through a spokesperson also said he unreservedly
rejects reckless and dangerous rhetoric, suggests some policy advocates and vice-violence.
Godheimer, Godheimer of
Josh Godheimer of New Jersey, said that anyone who campaigns with Piker elevates him, blah blah blah, is complicit.
Betterman went on Fox News and delivered a challenge, but last week
Piker was not immediately available for a comment on the story, but last week after several Jewish Democrats criticized him,
He dismissed their concerns by implying that they reflect an orchestrated conspiracy against
them writing on X that APEC boss call was made.
That was right.
Again, the purpose of this article is to delude its crumbling readership into a false understanding
of the world.
That's the problem.
The purpose of this article is to scream into the void and to a tiny base at this point.
Who is this fork?
Who amongst the Atlantic readership is like, yeah, you know what, I actually don't think
that it's, I don't think it's strange that every single major APAC donated candidate
and prominent democratic politician came out and
and had some choice words to say about this prominent critic of israel
i'm not supposed to identify this
fourteen million dollars
in a pack donations total
spokane ridiculous
maybe i'll say it could quell some of the frenzy itself in two thousand eight
And then, oh God, and then the Jeremiah, right? Shit. Oh my God.
Threatened to up and Obama's bid for the White House in a sermon shortly after
September 11th, the pastor that America's chickens are coming home,
coming home the rules later, right? Said that no, no, no, not God.
Bless America. God damn America.
This is in the Bible for killing innocent people.
Well, Paul, I chose to adjust the controversy directly and deliver to
speech condemning rights remarks while offering context about America's
racial tensions. This speech was a masterpiece of empathy.
And at the time it felt that it changed the trajectory of his campaign.
Again, I think liberals have to wash the loser stink off of their bodies, okay?
Liberals have to wash the loser
Stink that they have all over their bodies and yet so many prominent liberal thinkers
Celebrate and cherish the moments where they capitulated the cynical right-wing framing. Oh
Well, Bill Clinton had his sister soldier moment. That was awesome. Remember that?
Barack Obama literally knifed the reverent that married him and his wife, Michelle Obama.
Wasn't that awesome?
After Republicans criticized them.
Van Jones was another victim of this.
Van Jones, of course, learned the important lesson, which is you have to be a servant
to capital.
Van Jones used to be radical.
He was a Maoist Third Worldist.
He was in the Obama administration.
Republicans attacked them for saying that Republicans were dumb fucks.
Think about that. Van Jones, of course, came back into action, a more willing servant than
ever before. But it's really cool that liberals love talking about these moments. They love
talking about their most fond memories of campaigns is when Republicans created a shitstorm,
outrage and the liberals capitulated to it. That's their favorite. They're like, oh my
god, remember when we capitulated to the right wing attacks? Remember how awesome that shit
was? They celebrated. They celebrated. They do not have nearly enough hate in their heart
for Republicans as we do. And I'm willing to bet they do not have enough hate in
in their hearts for Republicans as the rest of the Democratic voters do either, okay? They
love talking about how big of a fucking loser they might have been at some point. They're
like, oh, I love bipartisanship. I fucking nut anytime I think about bipartisanship.
Yeah, those guys that call us pedophilic vampires on the other side of the political aisle,
I love when we find bipartisanship.
How? How do we find the bipartisanship?
Never, never a concession from the Republican side, mind you.
Bipartisanship is only achieved when Republicans get their wishes across.
The liberal will always say,
thank God we agree on this issue.
But the issue that they say thank God they agreed on is never a liberal issue.
It's always a Republican issue.
The liberal will capitulate to the ceaseless barrage of hatred and animus and enmity directed on their side,
directed against their broad support, their supporters, their voters.
They will always agree when they cave and capitulate to the Republicans and they will celebrate that.
as though this means that America has finally solved a crisis.
No it has not.
That is how we arrived at Donald Trump through decade after decade of capitulation.
Enough.
Enough is enough.
And there are many snakes like these folk over at the Atlantic, third way, near attended
at Center for American Progress, who actively present themselves as thoughtful moderates,
thoughtful liberals, who constantly demand further capitulation to the right.
And then we look at 20 years in the future and we say, how the fuck do we get here?
How the fuck did we get to Donald Trump?
Not once, but twice.
This is how.
Enough.
Enough is enough.
surrendering to right-wing framing, stop surrendering to the Republicans, and most importantly, stop
celebrating this surrender. You did not set any conditions for said surrender. They shoved
it down your fucking throat. So you have an option. Either you say, enough is enough,
we're not doing this anymore. Donald Trump is the fucking president. What do you mean
That's what streamer is held to a higher standard than the fucking president the leader of this country is ruining everything
Or just shut the fuck up and let us do our jobs
Ridiculous snakes all of them
Peanots progressive in name only and Dino's Democrat in name only sick and tired of it
At the very least, some Democrats argue, I'll say, I could, uh, more plainly denounce his
friend, say, here's what I condemn. Here's what I disavow. I disagree. It was wrong and
harmful and hurtful. The progressive strategist said, if Piker says something new, that's
bad, which if I was a betting man, I'd say we'll happen. You come out, you come out
against this swiftly. Michigan estate that Trump won in 2016 and 2024 was never going
to be an easy win for outside his relationship with Piker who was paid to provoke, not
Persuade isn't going to make the task any simpler. Hey, Elaine Doffery, I have a question for you.
Between you and I, whose ideological battle is winning right now, you think? Who is more convincing?
The lady who writes for the IDF Prison Guard publication that is endlessly trying to get
liberals to be more pro-israel or the random upstart twitch streamer who is now seen as a prominent
critic of the state of israel whose argument is winning right now now it's not because of you
know my my prowess or anything it's not because of my persuasive capabilities israel did this
all on its own. But I wouldn't be talking so much shit at the motherfucking Atlantic,
the last bastion of liberal Zionism, when people are horrified by the actions of the
state of Israel. This entire article is nonsense. You are betraying your readership. You are
leading them astray. The good news for Democrats that most people don't actually
No piker pulling from earlier this year show the 60s and a lightly voters that never heard of him bad news for Democrats
They were pugs of so the next two months working diligently to change that
Yeah
I'm supposed to look at this and not assume that this is a coordinated effort by a pack like get the fuck out of here
Meanwhile when JD Vance is asked about his close and personal relationship with Tucker Carlson. He just says fuck off. He's my friend
Why can't Democrats do the same?
How effective is it to do guilt by association even when there is no guilt to be had with said association?
That's the conversation that is lost in mainstream discourse because they have so effectively presented me as this dangerous figure, right?
right? Without ever actually interrogating my views or examining my views sincerely.
But the media narrative is set in where it's like, oh well, there's a double standard. It's not just a
double standard. It's not. I am not the odious figure that Laura Loomer is. I'm not even the
odious figure that Charlie Kirk is. You might disagree with my worldview and that's fine. We
can have a conversation about that. But my worldview doesn't revolve around
disparaging those of a different ethnicity, disparaging those of a
different nationality, a different background, a different race. There's due. So
it's not just a double standard that's taking place here. There's also
outright lies about what my position is. Outright lies about what I
represent outright lies about what this movement broadly represents, and it's a deliberate attempt
to disparage this broader movement. And a lot of liberals are engaging in this petty factional
battle and leaning into the Republican narratives in an effort to cast aside the socialist movement
that is growing in this country because they are fearful. Not of our failure, but of our
success. Remember that because our success shows that there is a viable alternative. Our success
shows that good governance can be a reality. Our success presents the greatest threat of all,
the threat of a decent alternative. That is what they fear. They don't want to get off their
asses and do the fucking work. They don't want to get off their asses and actually roll up
their sleeves and work for their constituents. They want to sit around, collect checks from
corporate PACs that will ensure that their jobs are not threatened. They want to sit
around and have lobbyists write their legislation. They don't want to face their voters. They
don't want to do town halls. They don't want to understand your needs. They don't
want to address your needs. What they want to do instead is wait around in their lake
houses, in their townhouses, go to DC every now and then, vote yea or nay on some legislation
that a lobbyist told them to vote on, and never do the fucking work. They do not want
to do the work. And when they don't do the work, they get rewarded, they get celebrated,
They get to insider trade and generate millions of dollars of revenue.
And then on top of that, their next of kin gets to work in these same corporations that
wrote the legislation that they voted on to begin with.
They get to send their sons and daughters to Harvard and Yale, many of which at the
same time have ensured that that college education, that opportunity for upward social
Ability is never going to be a reality for you or your children
Some of them on the right on the Republican side will openly even say going to college is ridiculous for who?
Are your children not going to college? Oh these liberal institutions that you oppose, right?
You say oh Harvard is too liberal Harvard is too woke Yale is too woke
Institutes of higher learning are too woke. They're brainwashing your children
Meanwhile, show me a single American Republican politician whose sons and daughters have not gone to these institutions.
Show me one. Better yet, show me a single Republican in Congress right now without a college degree.
Show me one that hasn't gone to Harvard. Ted Cruz, Harvard.
Ben Kresshaw back in the day, no longer in office, Tufts, and also Harvard, J.D. Vance,
I believe Yale.
These people are lying to you, they're robbing you of a future while simultaneously creating
an environment where only they get to have a future prospect, upward social mobility,
a home, maybe two, and a better future for their children.
They get government funded platinum health care while telling you you don't deserve it.
They line up the pockets of themselves, their family members, their friends, and the super
wealthy, the Epstein class, while telling you that you deserve less.
Fortunately, some Americans hear that rhetoric, especially when it's tied together with, you
know, dangerous enemies from within, transgender people, undocumented migrants, and they find
that narrative to be decent enough to vote for.
They're wrong.
They seek out division and destruction because they have nothing else.
That's simple.
Okay, guys, this is not your opportunity to tell me that Lauren Boeber didn't go to college.
I knew that already.
Okay.
Jesus Christ.
Sure.
There are some exceptions.
I apologize.
Oh my God.
Okay.
Lauren Boeber didn't go to college.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Lauren Bober didn't go to college.
That's why she lives her handjob fantasies that she normally would have gotten out of
the way in college instead as a whole ass adult in Congress and a movie theater in Colorado.
Now, let's talk about our universities, our college campuses, and a new bill that 33 Democrats
voted alongside the entire Republican Party on to revoke federal funds from institutes
a higher learning that dare boycott Israeli institutions. This is what our Congress is
worried about. This is what our Congress is working on right now. This and condemnations
of DSA, condemnations of a Sondpiker, that's the best we can do. Best we can do is punish
institutions that no longer want to collaborate and cooperate with an apartheid state that
has done a genocide and also ten Hassanabi condemnations.
What the fuck are we doing?
But I'm actually still in the process of talking to a lot of our universities and a lot of students
as well as of course members of our Jewish community back home.
What is the Jewish community in Michigan have to do with Israel or divesting from
Israeli?
Well, I mean...
of things. Oof, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan. Don't you know you can't ask a question like that?
Look at, look at Hillary Sholton's face when asked the most basic question. Ryan Graham
says what does the Jewish community in Michigan have to do with divesting from the nation
state of Israel, a foreign country. Oh, this is not, no, it's not Ryan is Julian.
From Israeli. Well, I mean, those separate things. Michigan. I mean, I think the Jewish
people have a right to, is it Julian? It sounds like Ryan. I know Julian usually
does these and she is looking up super high. So it probably is Julian. Julian is like
so fucking tall. I condemn Ryan Grimm. It don't sound like Ryan, my apologies.
A safe and democratic homeland in Israel, so I think they do have an interest in it.
The people in Michigan.
Yes, exactly. Right, and who are you again? Julian Andruoni with Dropside.
Oh, it is Julian. Dude, he does sound like Ryan. What the fuck?
He sounds like Ryan. I swear to God. This is the most Julian is sounded like Ryan
Okay, perfect. Thank you. They drop sites Julian and Rione here a bill is coming up for a vote in the house
He doesn't sound like Ryan here, but he did in the other side of the microphone
If passed would deny federal funding to any university that made the decision to divest from Israel Israeli company all motherfucker
These are Israeli institutions including those in the occupied west bank the settlements
I wanted to ask members of Congress, is there any constitutional standing for a measure like
this that makes federal funding for universities contingent on their investments in a private
capacity and their support for a foreign government?
I mean, if the bill was targeting a dissent towards our government, that would be totalitarian
in its own right.
But why is this angled towards a foreign government?
Let's see what they had to say.
And look, you know what I'm saying?
Why would we be denying federal funding to universities that divest from the Israeli
companies on what constitutional grounds I'm in for that?
Well look, we had a very thorough committee process on it and I have already been on the
record on this and frankly...
Israel comes to me in my dreams!
Israel comes to me in my dreams!
I am deeply concerned with a lot of the funds that come into our universities from
abroad.
Okay, then what about the funds from the federal government?
I mean, should those be contingent on investments that the university's making?
Yeah, I think this is a pretty bipartisan bill, and I would really encourage you to go back
and watch the committee hearing on it, and I think it's certainly the step in the right
direction.
No.
There was an anti-BDS bill a few years ago that I voted against because it tried to
tell the states and private interests.
Did she vote yes? What do you think? Of course she voted yes.
She's what they could do.
We just got dragged into a war by Benjamin Netanyahu. He's bragging about it.
You know, it's about as embarrassing as you can get.
That's Donald Trump. So let's leave universities alone. Let's leave others alone.
Let's respect everyone and maybe get rid of the stupid Sharia law caucus while you're at it.
I understand that politics plays into a lot of these issues, but like, some issues should be off limits.
Anti-Semitism just leave it alone or or or semi-tism or Israel I mean either one
I mean you know form policy now Israel leave it alone come on
Come on guys. Why don't you leave Israel alone? Please just fucking leave Israel alone
Come on dude. You're making it so much harder for me to keep collecting money for Mayback fuck
He said either one you are an American congress member. What the fuck are you talking about dude?
Just leave our foreign policy alone, leave Israel alone.
Anti-Semitism both should have remained a bipartisan issue.
I think we need to deny a lot of funding to universities.
I mean, they waste a lot of money. They do animal testing.
You know, we've got Qatar and, you know, we've got all this stuff indoctrination in our schools.
I think we need to look at a lot of funding.
die best from Israeli companies, institutions, especially those in the West Bank.
Can you just give me your name and I'd love to talk to you about it, but I actually have
a constituent who's waiting for me.
Trump is defending his decision to rename Lake Ontario, Lake America.
As a new poll shows, 14% of Americans support the change.
Trump tonight prays.
10th century of humiliation continues.
Is Apple for updating its map, calling the name change, quote, complete, ratified and
binding?
There is one company, though, that is not going along MapQuest, which has searched to the
top of Apple's app charts with over one million downloads since putting up this post defying
Trump's order saying, quote, we're not changing it. And even creating a tool where people
can rename the lake whatever they want. Now, Apple Maps and Google Maps have complied
with Trump. Now, Doug Berger, he is the top executive at MapQuest. And I appreciate
your time, Doug. So, you know, I'll note to everybody, you took a similar stance
when Trump renamed the Gulf of Mexico. But it's only now that you're seeing this
massive surge, right? If I'm right and you can update my numbers for me here,
downloads are up more than 6,000% according to app figures which tracks
analytics. I mean were you surprised when you saw this take off this time? We were
absolutely blown away by the response. The updated figure is over 1.5
million downloads and installs so far. So it's completely shocking. And yeah, what
a ride so far. So now, you know, people say, okay, people are mad, people don't like this,
so they downloaded your app. That's one thing. Actually using it and no longer using, say
Google Maps or Apple Maps is a totally different thing. Are you seeing signs people are actually
using it, not just downloading it?
Absolutely. Usages is through the roof.
Don't have any numbers to share there,
but people are posting screenshots on social media.
They're actively contributing to the conversation,
telling us what features they want us to build.
And our team is extremely hard at work
bringing those features to life.
So. It's funny because if you zoom out, it's still Lake Ontario.
I just I feel like CNN is trying to fill airspace right now, right?
I'm going to skip this.
Is this lip slop? This is lip slop, right?
Oh, my God, it has fucking half a million views in in 22 hours.
Oh, my God, it is lip slop. God damn it. We have to do it.
We have to cover lip slop.
We have to cover lip slop.
I have to do it. Oh, boy, you guys don't understand.
And map questions epically owned the Trump administration breaking news, everybody.
Like, I'm glad, I'm glad someone is pushing back.
I just wish it was fucking Apple and Google, but they're tech oligarchs who obviously are
servile to the needs of Trump.
And there is a conversation to have here beyond like talking about how map quest
is getting a lot of downloads.
I guess the conversation itself is that like people clearly have a lot of appetite
for people to push back, even corporations to push back against the Trump administration's madness.
I'm from Canada and I don't care. I mean, it's just humiliating. It's humiliating.
It's so incredibly humiliating that this is what the American government is worried about.
This is what the American government is busy with. This is what we're doing.
Meanwhile, diesel went up five eighty nine.
Now, when people saw this, there were some who said, wait, MapQuest, they weren't sure
that it was still there.
Okay?
And you fully embraced that entire conversation.
So when Eric Trump posts, quote, shocking to see people alive, what is your response
to that?
It's, first of all, it's hilarious and it's also true.
MapQuest is 30 years old.
This is actually the 30th birthday or anniversary of MapQuest.
And so, everybody has fond memories of printing out directions back in the day.
And so, you know, it's true.
But you're still around.
You're still there.
You're alive.
Okay, and we'll see what we want.
I was saying, we've been there all along and excited to, you know, reintroduce the
brand to people.
At least MapQuest has a backbone. These companies' cases want to be dictated so easily. Shame
on them. Thank you, MapQuest. In recognition of our Scottish industry, we're renaming
Lake America to lock him up. MapQuest, here I come. So pathetic of Apple to comply.
Who does the MapQuest? This to me. Look. The rest of you might look at this and go,
Who cares yuck? Holy liberalism to me this shows promise
Okay, that is how
Starved liberals are broadly for someone to fucking fight back
Okay, no matter how small that pushback actually is this to me shows that there is tremendous appetite
Tremendous appetite for someone anyone to come out and be like fuck this
stop complying okay yeah I mean 1.5 million we'll see where those numbers go
now I I'm just laughing because your name's Doug Berger the Interior
Secretary is Doug Burgum and he's been at the front and center of this because
he would you say that you have a more American name than the labor art than
when the transportation secretary or the labor secretary.
You know, we're talking about how excited he was to rename the lake.
And he said that the president himself personally reached out to Apple asking the company to
change the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America.
Here is Secretary Bergam.
I know that the president reached out to Apple directly, so I'm sure that we may be seeing
that change coming up, coming up soon to Lake America.
And a day later, he was proven right, Lake America.
So I'm just curious, Doug, if the president were to call you, what would you say?
You know, we're fully committed to our users right now, and the, you know, users are
kind of showing what they believe in with by downloading our app it is it's not
it was not intended to be a political stance it was intended to be you know
give people the name of lakes and gulfs that they're familiar with and it's
just it's it's it's fun that we're talking about geography overnight a
little bit of fun at the president's expense I want you to listen to the
opening of a preseason football game in Cleveland. This is Al Michaels talking
about the president's efforts to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America.
After our now that is Lake Erie. We think it is still called Lake Erie on
the right. I'm not quite sure. Yeah. Something like Ontario or whatever is
going to be called on. We'll get the bubble anyway. You know what I'm
the
if holy to lead oh it's a fucking calciad in the middle of this
i'm um shying i'm gonna perish i'm gonna die on the spot
okay
I
What the fuck is going on why is my am I back I oh my god, oh my god, please please
Please please
In a chief data analyst Harry and our Michaels. Yeah didn't seem convinced. It's now called Lake America. No, no
he's not convinced. Okay, we're done. I'm skipping this. Nearly 90% of record high 89%
nearly 90% of Americans say government corruption is widespread, including amongst Republicans.
Okay, that is a real story. Anti corruption draining the swamp is a good message. Okay,
it's a salient message. It's one that the Democrats should lean into. It's one that I have
openly praise john ossoff for making the centerpiece of his candidacy
say that there's widespread corruption in government
that's the highest level in twenty years and it's up ten percent
from just last year
that's compared to other advanced economies in the united states
is an outlaw and alarming outlier and it's not just a partisan thing
significant majorities of republicans democrats independent
they all agree
Now, today, pressed by CNBC's Joe Kiernan
on the perceptions of a conflict of interest
between his current role as Commerce Secretary
and his family's business dealings,
Howard Lutnick denied that he influenced a recent deal
potentially benefiting his son,
to now leave the company that he used to run.
The perception is that you're sitting now at commerce
and you're able to control what Canner is getting
in terms of fees with your son's running that company.
It looks like a conflict of interest.
How do you respond to that?
It just not.
I had no idea that Canada was involved with the company at all.
It never came up to me.
My kids bought my companies.
So I am no longer involved in my old companies at all.
My kids bought it from me.
They own it.
And I had nothing to do with that decision.
And this is minor stuff anyway.
You know that I am well to do.
I don't worry about this kind of stuff.
So that's just one example of the concerns that people have.
And certainly, Democrats are going to be looking into this.
But the joke here in press, Lutnik, on this story
from the Times, from June, that said
that the Trump family and the Lutnik family
have financial ties to at least 14 companies that
are actively working with the government
on critical mining deals, including
Kazakhstan project, the total amount of federal funding from the Trump administration that
has been provided or is being considered for the companies exceeds $8.9 billion.
This is the corrupt administration in American history and it's very easy to say that when
you see the level of insider trading happening right in front of our eyes.
Donald Trump is currently selling access to his truth social for $100,000 a month.
early access where you can get his tweets about the Iran war or about specific individual
ticker signs that he sends out. Like he's tweeted out NVIDIA in Dell just as a ticker
sign trying to pump them up. He has made billions of dollars in cryptos and is taking office
and he's created a paid to play pardon scheme where you can basically buy pardons for no
good reason if you have enough money to give to MAGA Inc. and he'll give them to
you. So can we all disagree at this table really quickly that pardons shouldn't be
for sale as the president?
nothing that can be done to change the pardon system short of legislation. That's not going
to happen. So the pardons are what the pardons are indefinitely. The truth social plus premium.
Bro, Midas Touch Network is just taking over CNN panel slots piece by piece. Scott McFarlane,
Chief Washington correspondent of Midas Touch Network. Adam Mockler also
Might as such affiliate
Slowly, but surely they're just like taking over the CNN panelist lineup
And then the rest is just like psychotic republicans usually land that things in court
There's a lawsuit by the intercept the challenges and asks the court to intervene to stop this truth social pay to get the advanced tip system
And in fact dadley harp is a name defended in that case. That's one the judge could intervene on
I'm told there could be a hearing on that in the coming days an intervention by a court soon
That's very interesting and then you got fucking bizarro pearl mania
This is the this is the right wing pearl mania guy
He's so fucking annoying, you know the White House and the Commerce Department
Separately in response to ship of Midas's. Yeah slowly by Shirley piece by piece
They're just rebuilding the CNN panelists lineup with Midas touch guys with Midas touch affiliates
ship of Theseus ship of Midasius oh my does see these types of questions have
rejected the concerns that the Trump the suggestion that the Trump
administration was improperly mixing government access and family business
but do you think that that's gonna be enough for voters to just say well
we're telling you we had nothing to do with it and even though even if it's
not Howard Lutnick himself who runs the company and is financially
benefiting from it, or even the president, although he is benefiting from a lot of things, personally.
The fact that they're family members might be, I mean, that seems to be something that
you've got to bring some more proof to actually show people that there was no involvement
by the principals in these decisions.
Don't bring it by the next.
I think perception is reality.
And I think historically, when you look back— Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
year. Let's hear from Caroline Sunshine, deputy comms director, Trump's 2024 campaign about how
Americans are worried about corruption. And that's fine. But the Trump administration is not doing
enough corruption. If you ask me, okay, see, the real problem with the Trump administration is
they've actually been too truthful and they haven't done enough corruption. And I'm here to tell
you as a, you know, random advocate for the Republicans that honestly, there's a lot more
room to grow in the corruption side for the Trump administration if a populace perceives
that its government and its elites are too out of touch or benefiting off of their backs
whether that is true or not whether it is legal or not historically you get revolution or they
start to look for very extreme solutions to that so that's the bigger backdrop through
the lens which i'm looking at this but i'm also looking at selective outrage on corruption
because you're talking about eight. Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot. There's also the know you.
Where was all this conversation around Nancy Pelosi? It's like, it's not even comparable. Okay.
You say Hunter Biden, not even comparable to Trump's kids, Trump's son and law Jared Kushner.
You say Nancy Pelosi not even comparable to what Trump is done like Trump launched a cryptocurrency like a scam coin
One day before he assumed the role of president
And he made like a billion plus off of just that initiative alone
So there's no there's no comparison with the level of graft outright graph coming from this admin in comparison to anything else
this administration
is not only the most corrupt, but to add insult to injury, it's the most overtly corrupt administration
that exists on the planet currently. And yes, this includes Vladimir Putin and includes
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, includes like third world dictators, because at least those guys,
while they are also just as corrupt, at least they try to hide their corruption.
administration. This is the most nakedly corrupted administration. Trump openly says he's doing
it every day. Like openly, openly says he's doing it. It'll be like, yep, Stockmark is
doing great. That's why I'm doing great. You're doing great too.
Wait, nine billion dollars. I want to talk about.
I think any other country, and I mean this sincerely, like this level of outright corruption,
like flex mode corruption, open corruption that Trump says he's engaging in.
If any other country was doing it, there would be a revolution.
There would be violent rebellion.
100%.
That is the reason why these other countries oftentimes will try to hide what they're doing.
You know what I mean?
They'll try to move money around through an opaque funding structure, different mechanisms.
You know what I mean?
They won't just be like, I'm taking your tax dollars and putting it in my wallet.
Fuck you.
We are a uniquely servile country.
I'll be honest, we are uniquely cattle-like.
$18 billion of U.S. taxpayer money that we have not gotten back from Minnesota,
and Tim Walts had to say he's not running for reelection because he knew about it.
Where is that money?
Are we getting that money back or are we only upset about corruption,
perceived corruption, when Trump's name is involved?
But we're not upset about it.
As long as the beneficiaries are Somali refugees, then it's okay.
It's more than that.
It was prosecuted under Joe Biden before it was prosecuted under Trump.
And in fact, actually, the Trump administration has been kind of slow.
I mean, after they raised this in December, there's been not a whole lot of action on this issue.
But it's been prosecuted by Democrats before it was prosecuted by a Republican.
So the idea that Democrats don't care about it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
And it also doesn't justify the president and his family.
And I don't want to take the president out of it,
because his net worth went from $5.1 billion
when he took office to $6.5 billion
just in the last year.
So he is making money.
He's making money off of crypto deals.
He's making money off of meme coins.
He's making money off of, I mean,
he's an investor in truth social,
which has a hundred thousand dollar fee for early access to his own tweets.
I mean, I live in Los Angeles, Abby, right?
So we have the swap meet there.
Donald Trump is basically president swap meet.
Like that's what I feel like,
because he's pumping coins, shoes,
like he's selling everything that's not nailed down.
I agree that this is legal and the fraud in Minnesota was not.
Boohoo, it's legal, dude.
I'm telling you, man, this is this is a real.
I don't know how much longer this can go on for. I just I don't know. I genuinely don't know
I think that Americans are very pissed off about this and I'm talking like I
Don't think it's just about like voting for the Democrats or whatever. I think this is there has to be accountability
We have to punish this admin
We have to punish this admin if the Democrats don't promise punishments
They are basically cooperating. They are collaborating with the admin. They're collaborating with the fucking fascist
I'm sick and tired of it. I cannot believe what these guys get away with
Holy shit
If Democrats get back the power and they do this like oh we have to heal we have to heal this nation
We have to reach across the aisle. I'm gonna fucking reach across something. Okay. Oh
My god. Oh my god
There is no healing
without restitution. There is no restitution without accountability. There's no accountability
without punishment.
Donald Trump siphoning funds from our.
You can play about the first Somali fraud action because you have a double standard.
There is no double standard.
Double standard.
It comes to corruption.
That's crazy. That's crazy. That's crazy. That's crazy. Like random Americans of
Somali descent did a corrupt scheme. In the state of Minnesota, they got prosecuted and
they're going to jail. So the president can steal billions of dollars is an argument presented
by a psychopath. Okay, just explain this to the average person. Just be like, Hey,
By the way, shouldn't the president be able to steal your funds, ruin your future?
Because the Somalis did.
Somali Americans led by a white woman did this in the state of Minnesota.
Your honor, why can I murder when, you know, Dahmer exists is not a fucking reasonable
argument.
Your honor, I don't get to do a little bit of murder.
What about Charles Manson?
I rest my fucking case.
What are you saying?
It's not a double standard. It's not a double standard. It's not a double standard. It's
not what a double standard is. It has been prosecuted and it is being prosecuted.
As a firm liberal Democrat, I condemn any fraud that happened in Minnesota and it should
be immediately prosecuted. Can you admit that the...
It was. It was. You don't even have to say it. It needs to be immediately prosecuted
because it was. Because it was. That happened already. That happened. That's why we know about it.
it. That's why we know about it. And guess who was president when the DOJ investigation started?
Joe Biden. Joe Biden was already the president, and the Joe Biden's Department of Justice
actually investigated and prosecuted these people. Okay? Those are private American citizens.
Donald Trump is the president. What are we doing?
Yeah, it's it's literally a guy robbed the convenience store. Why can't the president
seriously murder people? That's the argument that they're presenting right now. Sincerely,
it blows my fucking mind. Corruption in the Trump administration should be investigated
at the very least. Can you admit that pardon shouldn't be for sale? I'll go further. I
will say that as a country, if we do not like the perception of corruption in any administration,
whether it be the Trump administration, the Biden administration or Congress itself
with all of its insider stock training, then we as a country have to change our law.
So can you follow Trump's true social to be investigated?
So that's further than you, Mr. Interpolis.
So should Trump's true social be investigated?
I don't have a problem with an investigation, but if it's legal, is my think.
So you want an investigation?
I'm saying change the law.
You may not do that.
I'm telling you I don't know what that is.
Great.
We have a saying in court because it's not illegal taking funds from autistic children
in Minnesota is illegal.
No one's okay with that.
No one's okay with that.
There is a difference there.
You're shadow boxing with no one.
Everybody condemns it. It's already illegal.
Nearly 90% of US citizens now believe government corruption is widespread in Washington, DC.
Tell me something I didn't know.
This will kill our democracy. Corruption kills governments.
When it comes to anything that the Trump administration does, they are just making money for them and their friends.
What is this group chat shit that they're doing on CNN nowadays? I don't understand.
Oh, is this the new Nigel Farage? Is this channel for investigates Nigel Farage going

the oil bros were like, telling me I need to watch they were like, bro, you gotta,
you gotta cover this shit, you gotta cover this shit.

Hi, I'm Trevor Moore.
Did you know that it's illegal to say I want to kill the president of the United States
of America?
It's true.
It is.
It is illegal to say that.
It is illegal to say that.
I don't even know what he said.
It's super illegal. What's illegal to say? I won't say it.
It's illegal. It's a federal offense. It's one of the only sentences that you're not
allowed to say. And I was okay for me to say it right then because I was just telling
you that it's illegal to say, I want to kill the President of the United States
of America. I'm not actually saying it. I'm just letting you know that it's illegal to
say that. It's kind of like a public service. I'm letting you know.
Yeah. It is illegal to say it. Don't do it. Don't say it. Leave it to the white man who
explained this to buy your way class. No, exactly. I'm not saying it. Um, yeah. Fart
Farda Romo got axed.
Status reporting Fox fired Maria Farda Romo after she leaked internal text of the White
House showing the network it told staff to stop amplifying Trump's latest election conspiracy

Trump has so thoroughly captured the right-wing media ecosystem that its biggest stars now
see themselves as his informants first and journalists never.
Oh my God.
Oh my God, dude.

I'm saying those words instead of reading it from a fucking article okay

That was like, I'll do all said, why did your best friend, why did your best

Why did your campaign manager, Hassan, Piker say these words?
Do you disavow it?
He sold the sticker.
Dude, look at this. Look at the brain rot. Look at the brain rot. Random article about

Didn't he say to kill people?
No, I did not, actually.
Ugh.
that as I think it'll get off he didn't say somewhat shitty he didn't say I will I think
he's good low key I don't think so I think they'll try to hit him I mean it's very obvious
states it's not serious but it doesn't matter. Several additional threats

House Correspondents dinner southward was indicted on charges for threatening

We will not tolerate threats political violence in the United States. My
My office will prosecute anyone who crosses that line with the full extent of the law.
Okay.
Well, I suspect the prosecution is imminent for Ram Israel Emmanuel, who on CNN on Cassie
Hunt said that he was going to bludgeon me in the head with a two by four when he sees
me in person.
That's a political threat.

Dude, they're taking your job.
Thank you blockscast.
Honored to receive your endorsement.
Let's work together to stop corporate greed and political corruption and let's bring the
power back to the people.
Who the fuck is blockscast?
Why does blockscast have a mask on?
Tiktok Lib?
Why does the avatar have a mask on?
What is going on?
Hmm.
Is this Sharia law?
What is this?
There is going to be, especially because he is a millennial, tons of footage of Abdul Al-Sayed.
And the thing that always strikes me about it is the inconsistency of the criticisms.
Because we hear one day, Abdul Al-Sayed, that guy's a terrorist, right?
That guy won a 9-11, and then he's a guy dancing in front of Blue's Clues, or he's just a
smith.
Both things are true.
The same thing with James Talley.
She said both things are true.
He's both gay and an Islamist Sharia supporter.
He's trying to do gay Islamic job.
It's a new thing.
You wouldn't understand it, Jessica.
I liked it.
I liked that Jessica Tarkov was like, this is so dumb.
You guys are saying he's like this scary guy and he's very clearly not.
And the other host sincerely said, no.
In New Hampshire it's Karishma. Guess what? We just went up in the polls!
Going up in the polls is an understatement. This is within striking distance.
This is Democratic Senate candidate Karishma Manzur.
And she is running against Chris Pappas in the Democratic primary.
Chris Pappas is the APAC establishment candidate backed by Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.
In 2015, in the state of New Hampshire, I worked for Bernie's campaign,
who notoriously went from 3% in the polls to winning the state.
the state, so I want to endorse Karishma Manzor for Senate. Hopefully, she can do the same
thing to the establishment.
Well, right off the red, being backed by Hillary Clinton and A-Pack used to mean something.
It still does. It has an entirely different meaning now. Chris Pappas is in Congress,
which has an abysmal approval rating. The Democrats in Congress have-
I'm retiring. My job is done. I am retiring. My job here is finished. I am giving the

Austin Ox, you manage my TikTok, you have never seen numbers like his.
Even lower approval rating than the Republicans, we have a lower approval rating than Donald
Trump.
So why would I give any Democrat in the House right now a promotion?
That's the big issue in congressional politics.
Everybody hates Congress, but they kinda like their own guy.
No, it can't work like that, they all gotta go.
So we have a popular personality that is not a politician rising in the polls, not
taking APAC money, not backed by the establishment.
Wait, his TikToks, it's centrist Democrat?
what? You just signed the contract for me to make you one of these? Sure, make me one

I'm not going to agree with everything.
It's a package that doesn't need to be sold.
You can kind of.

He's.
He's the centrist Democrat.

you've been paying attention for the past two years
this set of term is also going to cover the entire next presence
so it'll be the rest of trump's term and then the next four years
The primary in the state of New Hampshire is September 8th, so I will be hyping up this candidate and others that I have endorsed in the coming days.
In New Hampshire, it's Krishna. Guess what? We just went up-
Hell yeah.
I've seen clips of XG debate politics on Roblox. Oh, he found people. I'm glad he found people that can match his intellectual might.
I can't wait. Now that I said that, I'm sure that'll get clipped.

He low key lost. No.
What the fuck?
That's great. He lost the children.
I guess. I mean, I guess it's not that surprised.
Wait, someone sent me a fucking link.
My juicer
Okay, I need to see this I need to see
They were teens I need to see a clip of this shit
Adam Carlson does not see the vision
What is this everyone you say? Wait what the fuck is this clip? Why is XU Cal's dad talking
about it? Last word, last letter of his name and the province of Kedak that's why but
Feliz do you want to stand on that because it's a call. Because in video games at least
back in the days you were limited on the amount of energy you could have.
And he likes to see what's taken.
So what's that supposed to do?
And I just gotta remove what you do.
To show him, I just remove the letters, right?
And when I look good, and it looks good.
Did you see, what?
Did you see Hassan?
What about it?
Did he click?
No.
He goes, ex-Q, ex-Q cow.
Did he say that?
Yeah.
Oh, that is really mad.
What the hell?
He's on, hey, he's everywhere, right?

I'm not gonna mention this block cast graphic. What is this all right?
Based cast marks cast
What the fuck is this?
We are just two days away from two more blocks cast entering the universe base cast and marks cast
I'm gonna tell you a little bit about them what they're not gonna be and some of the difficulties that I think I'm gonna have
Representing both sides what they're not gonna be is caricatures of each side like I'm not gonna make
Mark's cast overly woke and obnoxious and I'm not gonna make base cast just rotten to the core the most effective way to debate
Whether in the debate or moderating a debate is to completely understand both sides of the political. What is going on, dude?
What the fuck is happening on tiktok?
What the fuck is happening on tiktok politics brother? What?
What? So this guy has blocks cast, which is him centrist Democrat, who worked for Bernie
Sanders campaign 2016. And that's a centrist. And then he has Marx cast, whose idol is his
son, piker. And then he has based cast who's like a I assume like a like a venture pyro
prototype. Yeah, is this dialectics or is this what do they do in the Scientology Dianetics?
Could be either or, you know?
I, it's also reflective of this, the representation on social media. A lot of people on the left
call me right, a lot of people on the right call me left, so it's my way of showing, oh
no no, I'll show you left. Oh no no, I'll show you right. There's a lot of people
who follow for the cultural stuff and other things I talk about, but not the politics.
despise the centrist politics. It's okay. There's a block cast for you. But then there's gonna be one that you really really
This guy's awesome. He's like I'll serve you whatever you need
It's why he's not asking QX for finally acknowledging Lacey
Is it a female? Do you think babies are women?
Babies?
Yeah, babies are humans and females. You think those are women to you?
Like a baby female? That's a human? A newborn female?
how you cashed out the term you said
you said a woman is a human female do you think babies are women?
I guess, yeah
so when this guy comes up and says hey I'm dating this new woman today man
I was dating that woman over there
do you think they're talking about babies?
dude what the fuck is happening dude?
Roblox Ground News?

Okay, suit meta. Advocacy meta.
Here's a better one.
I don't I don't understand why this is
a topic actually hurt you.
You are ill bank.
If the topic of this queen
accepts you, you are probably ill for real.
And I'm getting my distance from you as a by person.
I don't even know what the fuck.
What is going on, man, with the kids?
What is going on with the kids?
It's over.
Clearly, this is why your audience is all 35-year-olds.
I know.
I know.
I know.
Is this America A, America B, or a third new thing?
No, this is not.
This is a third new thing.
This is not a normal thing.
I have no idea what the fuck's going on here.
like the fact that I like D because all men are a risk.
What?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Women are at risk and flat out,
regardless of social orientation.
Bang, bang, bang, bang.
What?
The same thing, right?
The reason why there's never been a woman president.
Okay, yo, no, no.
Who said that, bro?
Who said that?
Yo.
Hold on, hold on, hold on, let me say something.
You know why it is never being one of my president?
Because the moment that girl gets up on stage,
every man, every man is going to war with each other

Ah.
Ken Alpha will consume politics purely for spectacle.
They're gonna be so fascist is crazy. Yeah, I don't think we're ready for how fucking how fucked up young Gen Z and Gen Alpha is. I like all they know is AI dude. All they know is motherfucking AI.
They're only understanding the world. They're only understanding of politics is like memes drama slop tuber bullshit. They are so fucked.
I
Just started a new job with Jan Elvis and 20 year olds and dude all they do is love AI
We're in New York City, and they all despise mom Donnie. It's fucked. Wait, what?
Despise mom Donnie speaking of despising mom Donnie
There's a tick tocker that I like that identifies AI shit
it. And he did a collab with Max Taney from, from Semaphore. Hold on, I reposted it, I
think and I'll replay it if I can find it real quick. Where the fuck is it? You guys
know what I'm talking about? Maybe I didn't repost it. God damn it. Let me see. Probably
in my likes. Sometimes, oh, here it is. These are payback. Okay. Jeremy Carrasco is his name.
He does like, you know, this is AI style videos, right?
Actors with fake YouTube channels and fake names with AI generated websites and blog
posts to make them look like real political commentators. We found about a dozen of these
channels run by one content automation company who learned that targeting Mondani, Newsom,
AOC, Bernie, most liberal politicians would get them views and money.
So they hired paid spokespeople from websites like Fiverr and Backstage to read their weirdly
automated scripts. YouTube's algorithm was manipulated by a group that regularly
post the wrong personas on the wrong channels have.
Yeah, some of these got like half a milli, right?
So,
so basically what ends up happening is, um,
Basically what ends up happening is like there is and this is not even like a political group by the way there is no
They did not identify an express political purpose for this. It's purely algo slop
Okay, it's purely algo slop
So we don't know who funded it or why they funded it. There's this idea that it's not even about
Politics at all
But basically they start off by getting AI scripts
They hire a bunch of people off of Fiverr
Okay, they hire a bunch of people off of Fiverr and
They get these random people off Fiverr to read these AI scripts and they make these like YouTube
these YouTube channels
Okay, and
initially
They tried to do left-wing content attack in the right. It gets buried in the fucking algo, right?
It gets buried in the algo
I wrote about a guy running a network of secret ghost creators paying her actors 26 dollars per video to read AI assisted anti-dem videos on YouTube
In just a few months the channel got 45 million views more than media companies like Wapo the New Yorker and sadly SEMA 4
The network of nearly dozen channels recycled the same content involved the exact same formula repeating phrases themes music and
the ghost creators repeatedly fixated on the birth of John
cast a cat's a mod it is I
Don't know how you say his name, but he's the fucking grocery guy
I think and and how his business were suffering because of Zara on two people who racked up millions of views as a part of the network
Were actors to for hire on fiverr the host of the most popular channels William reports was previously a spokesperson for joint cream and
Describe the YouTube videos he made as ads
I traced the network to a 20-something YouTube growth hacker slash bodybuilder running a
business called Viralox.
In a series of tweets, the founder said he used AI to spin up ghost creator accounts
on behalf of brands aiming to go viral on YouTube by gaming the algorithm.
And just like the previous iteration of this for the record, you update YouTube, remove
the accounts, mention our story, we have strict pause against spam and deceptive
practice after review with terminated 20 channels, including 13,
represents this article seven related channels.
So here's the crazy thing.
If you recall a while back, we read a wired article that
investigated some fake AI, uh, sexy influencer.
The AI, uh, the, the influencer wasn't real, right?
But the influencer was a Republican and the fake AI hot girl would post up like holding up fish and saying,
oh, I hate abortions and stuff like that.
Okay. I think it was like sexy magam nurse or something.
There's one identical plot point in both of these stories.
Now that was of course created by an Indian dude that was trying to pay for medical school.
you know, much respect to that guy. I have no, um, I have no issues with what he was trying to do,
get your money king, right? But the one thing that that article also identified, or that rather
the, the Indian medical school student, a medical school student identified was this.
They tried to make a liberal account and it fucking failed. Okay. This scammer used an
and as generated McGarrel the grift super dumb men. And same as this story, this network
from the guy who has no care about the politics of it all was simply trying to go viral, tried
to do the exact same thing as a liberal account with a liberal script. It got buried in the
algorithm all the same.
Link trees and website links that go to the wrong personas, they even expose their
private internal dashboard with their channel's internal YouTube analytics.
They vibed coded it, didn't authenticate it, and they accidentally search engine optimized it so it showed up on Google search.
My company tracks AI content and these channels use so much AI that they popped up even though the videos are real.
They hammer specific politicians so much that we thought it was a super pack.
But no, they actually briefly experimented with an anti-Trump persona that just didn't perform well.
Why?
That to me is the most interesting part of both of those stories, right?
It's not a secret that political content goes viral and political content is a way for some grifters to make easy money.
Why is it that these algorithms do not favor
anti-Trump commentary in the way that they love and are excited by
anti-Zoramundani content, anti-democrat content, anti-left content. Why? Now, there's a couple
different reasons. One could be the most nefarious one, obviously, which is that these techno feudalist
oligarchs are very much in line with the Republican agenda. They identify with it. They
They like it and they're tweaking the algorithm to favor right-wing commentary.
That could be one reason, certainly, right?
But I think there's another reason for it, because Republicans are dumb as fuck and
they can't recognize that they're eating slop.
And when you're selling something, it's always easier to sell to stupid people.
And unfortunately for everyone involved and unfortunately for America and unfortunately
for the rest of the world that's impacted by American decisions when we elect dumb fucks,
Republicans are far dumber on average.
Okay, that's it.
They love the slop.
They're dumb as fuck.
They just want to hear someone say, oh, this is all wrong.
Mom, Donny guy fucking sucks.
And that's precise to the reason why there's a lot more appetite for this kind
content. Maybe it's a bit of both. Maybe it's a mixture of both. But it is really interesting
to me that every single outlet favors right-wing sentiment. Every single platform, every single
algorithm favors right-wing sentiment. It is crazy.
Probably scarier that this isn't purely politically motivated. It turns out if
you optimize and automate for political engagement, this is just what performs on
YouTube and paying actors to read the scripts is more effective than AI
generating the videos to read them because they're less likely to be
taken down and it's harder to figure out that these are ghost creators than
it is to spot AI generated characters. The full reports on our website and we worked on a parallel
investigation with some of Forrest Max Taney. Check them both out because this was a wild project.
Ghost creators like ghost kitchens, they're real human beings that are getting paid by
some random guy to read AI scripts.
The random guy also creates a YouTube page, a real YouTube page.
But everything else is, uh, vibe coded.
But yeah, it's insane.
William a middle aged man and a blue short sleeve button down shirt whose YouTube videos
more than 14 million views look straight into the camera in his kitchen table in August and read
a script about New York City Mayor. His video, Mayor Mum Donnie Panix's Taylor Swift triggers a $2.3
billion celebrity exodus quickly racked up more than 474,000 views. Omar, a shaggy bearded
creator who claimed to be based in New York, read a report to viewers in June about representative
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her ex. AOC freaks out as Riley Roberts caught running her entire
operation set the ominous music, which got more than 250,000 views.
The same music played on a video.
Socialist Seattle mayor cries as a beloved bookstore closed from a channel
called Julian news report.
It also registered a quarter of a million views.
Those numbers are real.
The audience is real.
The appetite is real.
The algorithmic boost is real.
Think about that.
To the casual YouTube viewer, these would look like unconnected videos
political news creators outraged by events happening in cities led by Democrats. The reality is more
complicated. William and Omar are actors, some of them found in a forensic accounting of the
channel's origins. They were reading formulaic, repetitive scripts that appeared to be generated
by large language models. Over the last several months, a new generation of YouTube growth hackers
have flooded American policy with sensationalized low-quality content, reaching millions of
years with nearly identical videos, taking aim at progressive policies, including Zara Mamedani,
California Governor Gavin Newsom, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker. Notably, while the videos are presented as
laypeople giving straight-cam ideological news recaps, they feature actors and spokespeople paid
small amounts of money to read nearly identical scripts laced with misleading claims and outright
falsehoods.
Bureau's either didn't notice or didn't mind a single network of interconnected videos that
that are affiliated with the growth hacking company whose founder promised to be the strong
sell attorney to the paid ads, garnered well over 45 million views and 90,000 comments
on YouTube as well as millions more impressions across social media platforms like TikTok.
With that level of viral videos, a small media organization can make tens or even hundreds
of thousands of dollars a month.
The algorithm's appetite for news content and a growing audience of cord cutters and
older online users is fueling the rise of a new kind of clickbait built around
sensationalized political stories.
charged by AI, these ghost-creator accounts appear to be run not by political operatives
trying to win, or foreign intelligence efforts seeking to destabilize the US, but by engagement
junkies detached from the stakes of politics. They closely monitor online trends and stories
turning out topical videos, hoping to ride YouTube's algorithmic wave to virality in
a cut of advertising revenue.
They each feature a person performing straight-to-camera monologue, recapping current events, and
overwhelmingly focused on negative stories about prominent Democrats.
I just don't know what to say.
I find it insane.
I am worried about our future, I'm worried about the boomers, I'm worried about the Zoomers,
I'm worried about everybody.
Yeah, anyone mad about this?
Already fully flushed their brain down the toilet and is upset we won't be doing the
same for children.
Mum Donnie Bay's A.I. use New York City Public Schools 4K through 8th grade.
Very curious to hear thoughts from parents and young kids on this.
What's your A.I. policy at home?
Today, I am proud to announce New York City's first ever comprehensive A.I.
My kid is vibequoting Minecraft mods every day after school and keep an eye on his account
and we talk about what he can and can't use it for but for the most part I just let him
go off and experiment with Claude code.
Oh my god there what?
He wants China to win shaking my head?
Yes, if we do not warp the brains of the upcoming generation, China will win.
Everybody knows this.
Why does Zohran Hwame Mamdani, which sounds to me like a Chinese name, want China to win?
Yeah, y'all heard him speak Chinese?
I did.
Speaking of Zoram-Amdani, he's under a lot of fire right now, once again.
Not because of the AI thing.
Zoram-Amdani apparently has a league of TikTok influencers.
New York Post is on the report. New York Post has investigated Zoram-Amdani, the perfidious Muslim.
What won't he do?
And that's right. Apparently,
Zara Mamdani is an army. Zara Mamdani, apparently, allegedly, has an army of tiktok influencers
like-minded sympathizers who are, why are you so racist gleefully, so gleefully? What?
Do you think I'm being sincere when I say Zoran is a perfidious Muslim?
It's because I'm about to say things that are going to get clipped out of context.
There's a new boss show story about Mamdani's secret influencer army with some people allegedly
maybe even getting paid money to post PR for Zoran Mamdani.
Mamdani's doing a strong influence on her army revealed with some PR peddlers pocketing
taxpayer cash.
This came out from the New York Post and is apparently going to be posted as well by the New York Times tomorrow
Except there's one big thing. I am a member of this alleged influencer army and this entire thing is a goddamn hoax
And not just a hoax, but they're also being weirdly misogynistic
Let me explain this alleged secret army the New York City creators announcement. Ah, you would say that
Christian divine
If that's your real name
Hmm, very interesting.
Is just an organic group of people who are all individually of their own will, posting
about Zoram on Donnie during the campaign, and all came together now they have a social
media outreach team that is just good at their job.
None of the influencers, not a single influencer is being paid money to talk about Zoram
on Donnie.
We just like him.
The only thing that they're even referencing as a source for maybe there being money
being given to influencers, is a contract that was signed during Eric Adams administration
that they don't even know where that money is going.
Personally, I just have friends in the administration who text me stories that I might...
Hi, Christian, reaching out with something a little different from our usual New York
City.
You're as scared as ice raids have taken place.
We know the software.
And if you look through my page, you'll see that most of the time I don't actually
even post about them, because sometimes I want to post about local politics a lot,
and sometimes I don't.
text here being like hey people are scared about ice raids right now if you have a moment and you
want to post about what kind of resources that people can reach out to you can do that and here's
the some some additional resources we have many of my interviews with Zoram and Donnie have been
organized through them about things that I care about whether they be nitrogen stuff or
they'd be lost in the aristas union work these are things that I was individually posting about
before that the people who work there know I care about and they reach out to me.
Little F. Little F. So I think this was a counter story from the Republicans because Pete Hexeth is
in a little bit of trouble for the Pentagon hiring people, civilians, without disclosing that those
civilians were actually hired by the Pentagon to do investigative work like data Republican who's
like stalking, you know, American citizens and sorting them by their political affiliations.
And also guys like Kurt Schlichter and all these other fucking dick, all these other dickheads
who are tweeting about how Pete Hexitz, the hard, the most hard-bodied department of war
leader anyone's ever seen. I think that's why New York Post did this.
New York Post is obviously a right-wing dish rag. It's obviously a part of the Republican propaganda apparatus.
And this is an opportunity for the Republicans to point to a whataboutism cover that they were desperately looking for.
Oh, well, there's a lot of tiktokers or fans of Zoramumdani organically, and they post about things that are happening in the city on their own volition.
Isn't that the same as Pete Hexeth using actual taxpayer money and directing the Pentagon's budgets to stock American citizens and sort them by political affiliations?
The girls' part about this is that Amelia Rowland pictured here who is the director of
New Media and Cultural Communications.
This wasn't even the original photo they used to try to make her seem like a villain.
were originally using for their article.
That's fucking insane, dude.
That's actually fucking insane.
What the hell is wrong with these people?
What the fuck in hell is wrong with these people, bro?
Oh my lord.
But then changed it once it got called out.
Her bikini photos, her private bikini photos, to be clickbait for this article to make her
seem like she's not professional went mind you, mind you, I've never seen a million
not in a suit!
Not only that, but I know personally that her IG is private.
So they like snuck, went through, scrubbed it, found a bikini photo instead of the
many many photos of her in a suit.
So not only are they just straight up lying.
doing the grossest most sexist chest stop being fucking weird man please Jesus Christ
misogynistic like clickbait possible but I guess the surprise is out guys I
don't just suddenly somehow know where Zora Mamdani is going to show up and
then sneak up on him and interview him I know someone in the administration who
texted me hey are you available we're announcing this new thing you can get
like a couple of minutes interview with the mayor but the people who run it
are getting paid the people who are city employees yes but as influencers
No, we just like Zoram and Donnie and I don't take every single story. I don't take 90% of the stories
So they went through her private IG to source private photos yes
Yes, they did because they're fucking freaks their gross freaks and
What else can you say about them? They're just gross freaks their perverts
They're pervy. They're pervy pervs.
I deleted Tik Tok a year ago and my guy is still wearing that hat. Yes he is.
I just don't like that this course is devolved so hard.
I, I don't like that everyone is dumber year over year.
Everything sucks, dude.
Everything fucking sucks.
Everything is ass.
Well, here let's look at Howard Butler on Squawks being pressed by Kernan who says the
perception is you're sitting at commerce and you're able to control what canther is getting
in terms of fees with your son's running that company and looks like a complete ventures.
What's your response?
He says, it's just not I'm no longer involved in my own companies and all and this is just
minor stuff anyway.
stop ignoring my white king. You see the video on reform UK? No, I did, but I skipped it.
Slop tubers are setting trends. Discourses just cooked. It's, it's not rep. It's, it's, we, we will
never repair it. Anyway, um, on that note, I gotta end it. Not only am I super tired, but I also
So, I have to shoot the podcast, so I'm gonna end it here.
