I
I condemn Hassan Piker.
I condemn Hassan Piker.
I condemn Hassan Piper, I disavow Hassan Piper.
He is vandalizing, he is vandalizing.
Are y'all with the cult?
You know, it's so we make sense to get rid of this bizarre piker of filth.
Yeah, this is it.
Oh my god.
This is fire.
He is vandalizing, he is vandalizing.
The only problem I have with this content creator is that they routinely mess up the audio levels.
Wow, Rabbit Fusion done, did it again, deep fried Glorbramix Icademis on piker, that was the introduction song.
Satuidran, thank you for the gifted subs, my friend.
We are already 10 minutes in and cooking. That's right. We are live. We're alive. You already know what's up
Welcome welcome everybody. I'm a son piker this does and I'm breakfast coming to you live from new york
New york concrete jungle where dreams are made of there's nothing you can't do
Welcome to new york
It is unga unga bunga
the un general
Assembly is happening right now as we speak right outside the door right outside of right in my backyard in New York City
Obviously we are not going to leader of women. Mya Higa is in New York City. Wait, really?
I didn't even realize.
Mamdani secures largest settlement in delivery of worker history, we'll be talking about that.
Concrete jungle, where dreams are made of. I'm collaborating not with Myahiga,
but instead with Big Yahoo. That's right. I'm actually here to finally make amends,
to finally offer some kind of apology to my fans in Israel, to my fans in the
Democrat Party, okay, my fans in Likud. Yes, Abbasarakshi is already also in
New York City as well. I would love to secure an interview, but I don't think
that's going to happen. Okay, Myahig is a better socialist than you, catching the
somewhere already yeah that's what happens when you don't have to be live
sure
I say I feel it.
Why are subways a novel thing in Marica?
We just don't have them.
2028 campaign has begun JD Vance attacks.
Wait, hold on, hold on, I'm texting Maya, 2028 campaign has begun, JD Vance, Texas AOC over
Hassan Piker ties, I know.
I would like to, if given the opportunity, secure an interview with Abbas Arakshi, I
don't think that's going to happen.
I would like to have given the opportunity, secure an interview with any foreign heads
the state or their foreign ministers. I don't think that's going to happen either. Okay,
but in any case, in any case, in any case, where was I? We are alive. We are alive. We
got a lot going on in the world. Okay, lots to talk about. But as far as personal news
goes, I'm a shut ass loser, even though I am here in New York City at the heart at the
beating heart of empire at the heart of basically at the heart of all the
controversy around the world really this is the UN General Assembly now for my
perspective and my have I done anything no I went to the beautiful Riverside
Church this historic church that is so profoundly important for the the global
struggle against apartheid both here in the United States of America and
and certainly in South Africa and maybe perhaps one day against Israel as well, but having said that it was a fantastic night, got to see a lot of fans and got to see Bernard Sanders speak and do his foreign policy speech, which was really interesting because I thought that it was going to be,
I thought that the speech was going to be different than his normal speech, and I was wrong for that expectation.
And instead, I, what do you call it, instead we got to see a class of Bernard, which is great to be fair. It's great. Bernard is great.
In any case, ladies and gentlemen, a lot to talk about.
We have a big day today ahead of us, a big day ahead of ourselves.
the G word? I mean, he'd been using the G word. Hold on. Um, is he going to run or am
I getting debated? I mean, she's been saying that she might, but she might not. Who knows?
In any case, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks,
personal news wise, that's it.
We got so much to cover.
I woke up this morning, I did an interview with Financial Times
and did a profile with my favorite newspaper.
As you guys know, they were shocked.
I didn't tell them that,
I mean, I told them, look, it's my favorite newspaper.
Those who move the markets need to understand
what's actually going on, the unvarnished truth
and nothing but the truth.
at a time when there is an unprecedented credibility crisis in mainstream publications,
financial times carries the torch of honest coverage. I also probably had to glaze them
a little bit so that they don't, you know, they offer me some, so they offer me decent coverage,
you know what I'm saying? So they don't like cook my ass too hard. Stephen Donzinger's praise
is worth more than the praise of the opinion of infuriators? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this
was last night. I was mobbed instantly after the speech was over by us.
Thank you.
That's my name.
Who is from Egypt?
I listen to you all the time. I watch yourself religiously. Let's take a photo with you.
Yeah, sure. Let's do it. Oh my God. Okay, we got this.
Oh my god, what are you doing?
That's my ghost, Steven Donzinger, man, are you kidding me?
That's a hero.
Haritz is on Hassan's side, what is this?
Hassan Piker is coming to campuses, here's what Jewish leaders risk by trying to stop
him.
Piker's inflammatory veteran on Jewish initiatives has given Jewish campus leaders ample cost
for consistent.
But uniting against them, they may be drawing a red line between themselves and the tens
as thousands of students flocking to hear them. What the hell, Horitz?
I love that every now and then there's an article in Horitz that's like,
Hassan Piker is probably Adolf Hitler's modern incarnation.
But here's why you have to listen to him. And it's so funny because it demonstrates
the limits of liberal Zionism. Like, it showcases so perfectly the contradictions of liberal
Zionism because they, like, it doesn't make any sense. You make zero people happy with
You do not make the anti Zionist happy with that because then they're like, why are you calling this guy?
Who is just being honest about what Israel is up to that you and in other articles have also admitted?
Is is going on the the modern in current modern reincarnation of Adolf Hitler?
And then you certainly don't make the Zionist happy because they go. What do you mean? He should talk he should be shot and killed
You know what I mean? Like, people who are super, super pro-Israel will look to that article and say things like,
No, I think Hassan Piker deserves death, not simple condemnations, right?
And the anti-Zionists are not happy about that either. It's just like this very weirdly contradictory position that they find themselves in.
Oh, we got another we got another comic. Oh my god. Oh my god. We got another political
cartoon. Oh my god. Oh my god. It's amazing. Okay. Uh, in any case, folks, folks, folks,
we got a lot to cover. Okay. We got a lot to cover. Uh, hold on. Let me blast off. Get
in now. Yeah. But as I was saying, I didn't really do much this morning except for that
interview, and that's pretty much it. Yeah, hold on. Here it is. Here it is. Here it is.
Here it is, the Son year 23.
I think James Carvel said that.
Did you say today already who today's guests are gonna be?
Yeah, it's gonna be Noah Collwin and also Will
from ProPublica.
That's right.
Today we are going to have Noah Collwin in the building.
We're gonna have Will as well in the Joy Read
on your MSNOW interview.
Yeah, I saw some of this.
We'll talk about Clavicular as well.
My top five favorite content creator for the year.
Most impactful content creator of the year.
Hopefully there isn't anything in the news that's like really impactful on my decision
making there because he is my favorite after all. I just woke up from a coma but I really
think Clavicular will win content creator of the year. Yeah, no, that's what I was thinking
as well. What's preventing you from moving to New York City? You spend lots of time here
and it has better internet. I mean low-key, low-cricutually, you're not wrong. It does actually have better internet.
Kind of a sad state of affairs overall.
New poll on DSA. We'll be talking about that as well. Poll, after poll, after poll. Ladies and gentlemen,
we got so much going on. Lots of polls to talk about. Polls on polls. We're talking Poland.
Not really. We're talking UNGA, Unga.
We are, of course, going to be covering Donald Trump's disastrous speech at UN General Assembly.
He does this every time the UN General Assembly happens.
He goes in there and he's like, I'm the greatest thing anyone's ever seen.
Fuck you, suck my dick.
We'll talk about AOC's attacks, 2028 attacks being launched against AOC already from JD
Jedidiah Vance. There's also a separate interview with AOC. Hold on. At the New York Times discussing
whether she will run or not.
Kamala is already live with Abdul. I don't really care about that as much.
We don't have to cover that right now, especially considering that we have so much more to talk about.
Yes, there's a New York Mag piece on the DSCC takeover over the Troy or Troy Yodathon Troy Jackson campaign
James Carville on Fox News
There's just so much to discover so much to talk about so much happening in the world
And and very few things happening in the world of a son house and I'll be piker. Okay
Okay
Okay
God damn what else are about this Susan Collins bribery scheme is a
straight up
America's like perfect
Circle moment
Okay, America's perfect circle moment
And we are, look, I don't do this like, what are we, some kind of Asian country, shtick?
I don't like it, I oppose it.
But I have to say this, as a Turk, the Turkification of America is full circle, down to the fucking
bribery scandal that Susan Collins is caught in, down to the state media, down to Donald
Trump's, you know, hand-selected billionaire network purchasing and consolidating all of
the media platforms, we are literally a third-world country. Okay? Straight up. And many people
who don't live in the United States of America will say the exact same things. Okay? There
are probably Pinoy Gang Filipinos, Swigapinos in the chat going, wow! It's real Bong Bong
Marco's hours up in here. There are Turks in the chat who will say, wow, this is, you
know, Trump is your Erdogan. There are Russians in the chat that will say, this is Vladimir
Putin. America is a third world nation down to the massive security leaks taking place
at the FBI with hackers saying they have data on all FBI employees and spouses. We are the
the most third world coded, third world country with a Gucci belt nation of all time.
But we will talk about that.
We will talk about how America is on a very interesting trajectory to perhaps be the world's
first fourth world nation.
Perhaps maybe even fifth world nation.
We will invent new terminology by the time the Trump acceleration is JD Pondon regime
is over.
We will invent new realities.
We will invent new terms to describe America's disastrous campaign.
But before we do that, here's Donald Trump.
Anyway, what does it mean? Dude, it doesn't mean anything. It's impossible to comprehend.
Donald Trump is incomprehensible. One day he's hanging out with BB Netanyahu, the next
He's a Malice Third Worldist the next day. He is singing the praises of Xi Jinping the next day
He's singing the praises of Zoran Kwame Mamdani, of course
the figurehead of American Malism anyway
Where was I oh, yeah, here's another here's another political cartoon that was about me the horseshoe theory holds the extreme right and the extreme left
And at the King's Society will bend towards each other and resemble each other like the ends of a horseshoe fancy meeting you here
as Tucker Carlson to the ugliest depiction of me that I have seen thus far. Once again,
I love being honored this way. I am a big fan of political satire, big fan of political cartoonists,
and therefore when I see stuff like this, I love it. Yeah, there's so much to talk about,
so much to discover, so many new places to go to today,
apparently calls for controversial Twitch streamer,
a soundpark going to be banned from Australia over obscene comments are
taking place right now. That's not good, but it's also expected.
Anywhere I go, anywhere I go around the world, there are going to be
conservatives, partnering with the Zionist lobby, trying to actively stop me from traveling.
I am now being treated like an envoy that works for the Iranian state or the Russian
state.
It is actually insane.
Obviously, none of these western nations actually give a shit about the First Amendment, about
Free World, they don't have the First Amendment, but about Free Expression and Free Speech.
It's very, very freshening.
You need the PR team Zalani use dog.
That's called the American State Department.
As a matter of fact, the biggest issue with my travel restrictions is that I'm not a former
al-Qaeda affiliate now turned president of Syria, now turned American asset in this region.
Okay?
I don't know if you guys have realized this, but anyone and everyone that opposes America's
war crimes. Anyone and everyone that opposes Israel's war crimes and genocide is under constant
surveillance, under constant threat. Has that not like come as a surprise to you guys at all?
You know, Francesca Albanese is a great example of this. She's from the Office of the Special
Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories. Like there are sanctions being implemented on
on the international criminal court, judges and prosecutors, there are sanctions being
implemented on the international court of justice, it's judges and prosecutors.
America is very aggressively, alongside Israel, moving in this direction where they are dominating
the western world and trying to enforce their will upon every single western country and
and reducing their autonomy to nothing.
You're too harsh on Syria and Jelani.
Low key, I mean, it's crazy
because I'm not even his biggest opp or anything.
I think he has a very difficult job ahead of him, right?
I just can't, some things are too tough for me to overcome.
You know, like being an al-Qaeda leader is like,
you know i'm mister reform and rehabilitation guys you know this okay
i am mister reform and rehabilitation issues so
hard for me not to see
the inherent irony
of of uh... the american press corps
and the american government and the attitude that they have towards someone
like myself for
being in opposition to israel verses the attitude that they demonstrate towards
a guy
Beheaded a couple of people and then we're just like yeah, it's the passion of being the youthful, right?
Like it seems that there is a market improvement as a consequence of sanctions relief, right for the Syrian population
broadly, it's very difficult
You being closed-minded for real
Anyway, whatever I don't
Just a conservative young man, dude
Yeah, there's also something happening in the in this universe with Dan G's Ling
And in our backyard as well, which I will be talking about
apparently this guy who's like a like a legendary streamer right like he's a
OG streamer he did a US Army and everyone's been very upset at him which
is interesting we'll be talking about that but yeah are you going to DC on
Thursday no I'm going to be going to Ithaca on Thursday
I'm going to Ithaca on Thursday. I'm going to Cornell.
Yeah, there is a lot going on, man. Just wait. Everyone is going to start cutting loose the Trump affiliation and Trump associations.
But let's start with my reception from Joy Ann Reed, former MSNBC host, Joy Ann Reed.
As far as the clock at interview, there's still plenty of commentary taking place on the clock at interview.
And this is good. This is a part of the healthy discourse that needs to take place.
was engaging in armed struggle against apartheid South Africa. What is the
exception that we make for not just Hamas but the Palestinian militant
resistance in general? We'll say three things. One thing is the place where
they work is very very pro-Israel. So my assumption is that that interview went
over very well from the standpoint of management at MISNA. Two, Hassan
Packers absolutely right that the way that we navigate conversations about
violence depends. I don't know if it actually went very well from the
standpoint of management because they must have seen they must have seen the
backlash like the public backlash overall and like obviously MS now still
wants to maintain a liberal audience they're liberals right so on who we
think has the right to use force and the right to use violence during the 1980s
It was believed that the black South Africans who were sitting under apartheid
Had no right to violently resist
Leading me to ask the Aiman Mohideen question that he asked on his
Instagram well, how can we resist them because we're told we can't use violence to try to get these people
Who've taken over our country and are enslaving us on our own land?
We can't resist them with violence because then we're terrorists according to the United States government and according to the Europeans
We've tried sit-ins. We tried mimicking the civil rights movement in the United States, and we just get shot
So what would you like us to do and that was the tension right because Nelson Mandela said sure
We'll try to peacefully protest as long as the other side remains peaceful
But if they get violent, that's not on us
We have to resist how we resist and he endorsed all they have been corn taste is well
Which was the fight inside and then they had the negotiating side. That's like the thing right?
And then the third thing I'll say is this is the corporate media landscape in which there's a limit to who gets to have, who gets to resist, who's allowed to resist.
Ukrainians, you can resist violently. You can use drones, you can drone Moscow if you want and resist. Palestinians, no. If you resist, you're violent.
And it's just this classifications, but I've said it before on the show and I'll say it again.
There was a time when that same designation of you being a violent terrorist was assigned to some of the people who became Prime Ministers of Israel.
Because the Stern gang in the Irgun were blowing up buildings, killing people,
massacring people, and committing extravagant violence.
Where was the joy before? I mean, she just, she basically told you.
When she said, the executives, I'm sure, were very fond of this interview because they're very pro-Israel.
Joanne Reid literally was, let go, from MSNBC, despite being one of the more popular commentators on the network because of her criticisms of Israel.
Okay? You understand that, right? She's independent now for that reason.
she is now allowed to say what she truly thinks about issues, but this is what
happens in mainstream news like her firing her her layoff is a warning to
everyone else her layoff is part of the the her lab is part of the the whole
ordeal you know if you're if you continue speaking out against Israel you
you will be fired. It's just a reminder to everyone else to really manage their commentary
around this issue.
In order to seize that ramp.
To create a chilling effect on speech.
And at the time, two of the first prime ministers of Israel who were members of the Stern gang
in Irgun, they had been considered terrorists and they let them become prime minister and
Nobody ever said they were terrorists.
So we change our definition of who's a terrorist
based on who it is.
Hipster leftists are so fucking annoying.
What is this?
Chatter needs to let people change.
This is the overtune window moving.
Yes.
They kick Mehdi and yeah, I'm on as well.
Anyway, there's also this as well, Howard's right, so Sompikar's coming to campus, he's
with Jewish leaders risk by trying to stop him.
University of Texas Austin is aggressively trying to ensure that I do not get to speak
at University of Texas Austin.
Yes, I have the mask off, Jeffrey's Big Tent article from the Bullwark.
I do love that Bulwark, comprised almost entirely of, uh,
Never Trump Republicans are actually very pissed off at some of the more
right wing, uh, parts of the party.
Okay.
It is very funny to me that these guys, I mean, they, they've hired other people,
but like these guys are all like former comms people for the Republican party.
and now they're ripping into the democrats for aligning like remember
sarah longwell was the architect of the list cheney fiasco
sarah longwell was the architect of the hug and kiss the republicans like list
cheney
moment that kamala eras had
and now all these like former bush people that were center right are just
saying what the fuck are the democrats doing
i don't think this is uh...
i'm not going to lie i don't think this is uh... uh... con
i think there is a real change taking place
uh...
i think a lot of people are are starting to recognize the way the incompetence
uh... d d
designed incompetence of the democrats
is actually becoming too frustrating to bear because they want the democrats to
win
Obviously Sarah Longwell is still gonna chirp near a tandem is still gonna chirp at Center for American poo poo
Right about Zoran hanging out with Donald Trump is up, but like there are people like Tim Miller
There's obviously Sam Stein I
think Brian
Bo Boatler, but Boitler. I don't know how you say his name butler
There's will sommer at bulwark who I like, you know will sommer is great. He's always been great
So there's like definitely people within and also who can forget my woke King Bill crystal
Billy crystal himself there are a lot of people that are basically realizing
That that the Democrats
Purposeful incompetence in an effort to create this weird unit party is is
an unnecessary burden
in that they are designing for themselves. It's making the Democrats less competitive.
But anyway, here's how I read it. When a soundpiker arrives at Cornell University on Thursday,
he'd be greeted by a sold-out crowd at the University of Texas where he slated to appear
next week. The demand for Texas' left student organizers scrambling to find a suitable venue.
On both campuses, the overwhelming student demand attuned into the streamers remarks had
been met by great concerns from Jewish leaders. Rabbi Stephanie Maxx, Executive Director,
U.T. Austin Hillel Jewish Student Group condemned Piker's appearance in social media posts earlier
this month, writing that while she supports U.T. as a venue of disagreement, pluralism, and debate,
Piker's views go against our values of Americans as Jews, and his hateful anti-Semitic rhetoric is
repulsive. Cornell's Hillel offered a similar statement, towing the line between the need to
uphold free speech protections, but to also condemn rhetoric by Piker that called it hateful and
repulsive to Jewish students to lambasted the planned event in an op-ed. Published Sunday in
in Cornell student-run newspaper comparing the response by their campus to an imagined
scenario in which anti-Semitic influencer Nick Flentes was invited to speak.
In a far-right group, our campus announced plans to bring Nick Flentes to Cornell.
We along with the rest of the campus community would be quick to condemn that group because
such an event can incite violence, as students wrote.
It is imperative that we ensure that the standards apply universally across the political spectrum.
You're right.
I think anti-Semitic neo-Nazis should be opposed.
The problem is, you're trying to oppose me as an anti-Semitic neo-Nazi when I am expressly
anti-Nazi.
And as a matter of fact, you, my friends, you who support Israel, are closer to Nick Fuentes
in ideology than I am.
Because Israel is a fascist country that has done a genocide.
So if you want to defend the fascist country that has done a genocide, how are you any
different than a neo-nazi who has defended fascism of a different sort. This is the problem.
The problem here is that many Zionists have an identical point of view to Nikfuentes is just
that the in-group and out-group are different, right? As a matter of fact, they have a perhaps
identical point of view to Nikfuentes on Muslims, whether it be Muslim immigration or the scourge
of Islam, the scourge of Arabs as well. Indeed, Piker's inflammatory rhetoric
towards Jews in Israel broadcasts millions through his near-constant churn of
livestreams, giving Jewish campus leaders some ample cause for concern. Who would
want someone who claimed to monster thousands times better than Israel to
command an audience of hundreds of impressionate college students? But as
Jewish campus leaders move and lockstep the voice of opposition to Piker, they
may also be drawing a red line between themselves and thousands of students
eager to hear one of the most influential voices in progressive youth
politics speak. Piker's upcoming speaking events will not be the first time he
appears on campus or receives hefty blowback from Jewish leaders for his
incendiary rhetoric. But the response of Jewish leaders at Cornell and YouTube
reflects an increasingly firm boundary being drawn around whether Piker
belongs on campus at all. Is this Hierarch's article ever going to address
any of the things that I have said? I mean I've literally given a fucking three
hour interview to Hierarchs. Like what is the incendiary rhetoric? The
inflammatory rhetoric against Israel and Jews? Maybe we can cover that? Probably
not
but it's a good corner will come on the heels of the interview that's yours
last week where professor margaret's work out about the kind of evidence
labeling of israel's a nazi side and said he had no concerns
israel could incite violence parker also appeared to defend his office remarks
warning us all to get action against the very good news to keep it in sight the
out there the singularly invested israel saying statements were turned
into an instance of manufactured outreach park continued quibble about
whether is i popping assessments of jews safety jewish-american relations with
israel
everything out of contact over jewish campus leaders the line they've drawn
of pikers increasingly separates the students flock and hear him. Indeed, after seeing Hallel's
condemnation of the events, the president of UT Austin's University of Democrats is hosting the
piker event next week, responding by inviting anyone on campus to attend the event and question him
themselves. He's popular, he's drawing an insane amount of people in crowds for a reason,
and that reason is important, and it's important that our public officials understand that reason,
the student Democrats leader told Haritz. Wow, this article was bullshit. I feel dumber having
Reddit. Thank you, Haaretz. Why are you thinking their Sturmer is going to defend you? No,
I'm not thinking that. I just wanted to see what kind of twists and turns Haaretz would
how they would pretzel themselves basically to try to like argue this position that you guys
need to stop arguing against Hassan. And then the entire article predictably turned into,
This is why Hassan shouldn't be on college campuses actually
another banger
another banger from Haritz another banger op-ed from
Haritz fucking awesome
So
What happened to Ken Martin did he get is like did he get beaten up or something? What is this?
Um see it top dem operative draws line at the pluribus on piker after touting parties big 10
Ken Martin's review came out to questions about obelisk's controversial campaign appearance with piker
He was at this, you know highfalutin
elite event
Where a fox news reporter approached him and asked them what he thinks about the big 10 to the Democratic Party and where he draws
The line well, let me just say that I think it's absolutely
disgusting and deplorable the things that was on fight dress right but he does not represent
shut the fuck up ken shut the fuck up go make some money broke boy go fundraise dumbass you are a
million dollars in the pocket why are you talking to fox news at a fancy event complaining about
Someone to your left flank
Okay, yeah, here's Ken Martin in 2024 by the way many of those comments that he's calling deplorable
Had come out far before
Here let's continue with this horrible optics nightmare
So that's awesome no one should confuse unity with unanimity in the Democratic Party
Yeah, I've raised more money for candidates than you have broke boy. I
Have raised more money for Democrats than you have broke boy go fundraise chop chop
Don't make us buy the DNC headquarters big dog. Didn't you put a fucking didn't you?
Leverage the DNC headquarters the building itself
To take out a lawn. I will buy that shit off you you hear me
party we have a lot of different viewpoints and ideas and all sorts of issues right but
right now with 47 days left the democratic party is unified right and we are unified in our goal
to put a check on Donald Trump's power to win on november 3rd to win the house back to win the senate
back many things many things that have been neglected by this congress over the last
anyway the rest of it is just like him doing the classic spiel right let me just say i think
it's absolutely disgusting well let's hear what uh ken martin had to say when i was on cnn
uh... two years ago
uh... is is coming from that
johnny ossolloven cnn
los angeles
no i actually hold on let's let's watch the full thing for you as a
we're gonna
working in the spirit
away this is
products
look at i recognize you
hold on
in general
uh... as anti-semitic
are you anti-semitic
Of course not. The real problem here is that I'm an anti-zionist. The real problem here is that I'm extremely critical of Israel and
and all of the information that's readily available, especially on social media for so many
If we get the level 10 hype trend today, I'm buying the DNC headquarters. Fuck it
People that don't necessarily rely on mainstream media any longer to get their information
And that's why you see this generational gap. If you're over the age of 35
You're still operating on the old boundaries. You're like no Israel's the most moral democracy
in the Middle East, maybe in the world, right?
And I think that the major generational divide
that is, I think, in a very damaging way,
feeding into the mistrust overall
that people have with mainstream news in general,
is coming from that.
Joni O'Sullivan, CNN, Los Angeles.
Y'all wanna hear something crazy?
Because I'm so consistent to almost a fault, right?
right? Because I'm so consistent to a fault. If you at any point have talked about me right
after you heard my commentary, you will look hypocritical later down the line, as Ken
Martin will, because Ken Martin heard those statements. He's in the CNN office, right?
He's in office. He's at CNN headquarters. They're playing this to him so he can offer
for his commentary. Let's take a look at what he says.
It's so thoughtful and important to hear that. Ken Martin is out front. He is running to
be the next chair of the DNC. He's the current chairman of the Minnesota Democratic Farmer
Labor Party. I really appreciate your time, Ken. So, you know, you hear us on Piker. Seven
and a half million people watched him on election night. He's all in as a Democrat, but then
he's talking to Donie about how the video game and fitness space online is dominated
by right wing people talking about it, right? Not necessarily everyone into fitness, right?
that there's that gap.
And he says that Trump speaks to male insecurities better.
He speaks to the anger that people have
and that Democrats don't speak to that anger at all.
I'm quoting Hassan here.
He's very direct about the problem.
Do you agree with them?
Well, first off, Erin, thanks for having me on tonight.
And actually, I think Hassan's right
and most of what he says there,
and particularly as it relates to the fact
that the Republicans have been,
since the 2020 election,
A constant drumbeat of misinformation, disinformation, and lies on platforms that the Democratic
Party really wasn't competing in.
We live in a 24-7, 365-day...
What changed, Ken?
You heard me say exactly the same things I am saying now, two years ago.
What changed?
What changed, Ken?
This was when he was vying to be the head of the DNC.
Every single media figure, including Aaron Burnett and every single political operative,
is a goddamn phony.
This is why regular Americans hate these people.
Look at the hypocrisy.
It's not like my attitude changed.
I'm consistent. You're the inconsistent one.
Down to Aaron Burnett, down to what Ken Martin is saying right here.
Oh, this is Sompiker guy. He's too dangerous. He's odious. He's toxic.
He's repulsive. Really?
Really?
It's not like my position on this stuff changed.
It's CNN was presenting it in 2024.
CNN was very well aware of the attacks coming from the right, calling me an anti-Semite.
CNN was offering me a platform asking me what I think about these accusations in 2024.
And back then, they were giving me the space to answer these heinous accusations in 2024,
Or, writing about how, writing about how I've become this dangerous figure.
What changed?
I'll tell you what changed.
We rolled up our goddamn sleeves and we got to work.
We didn't just keep chirping on the sidelines, right?
We started changing the political makeup of the National Democratic Party.
That's what changed.
And they got so scared that we got a sequence of victories in the aftermath of Zoran's victory
in New York City and DSA victories all around the country, the incumbent flips that we contributed
to, and they went, hold on.
We cannot let this happen.
We have to target and character assassinate this platform, okay?
But those who recognize the truth, see what's going on, okay?
That's what changed.
They said only in New York City would this kind of politics work, and it turns out it
works all around the country, and that's what you are seeing now.
Even Aaron Burnett, who in the past said, wow, Hassan Piker, he's reaching out to young
men.
Hassan Piker, he's reaching out to young men, he's reaching out to all these people
that have been left behind by the Democratic Party,
activating them, fighting back against Trumpism,
fighting back against misinformation,
fighting back and offering a voice to people
who have a lot of discontent,
who are feeling a lot of discontent.
Will Assan Piker be able to bring back young men
into the Democratic Party?
Well, I certainly did,
but it turns out they didn't like the results.
It turns out when young men and young women
are more active more hands-on
more hands-on
with the democratic parties political process when they go out and vote in the
primaries and let their voices be heard when they go out and demand the
changes
and be the changes that they want to see in certain instances like that a
leza going from a
uh... a campus protester
who was kicked off of columbia campus to be coming
Insha'Allah the representative of the district that Columbia is in
They did not like that do you understand they did not like that one bit
Yeah, when we started the process with the new york city dsa slate, this is how it started
In a tiny room
In a shared workspace in a tiny room.
Now every single person that was in this video, with the exception of one, won their races.
You understand?
That's what they hate.
That's what they oppose.
They don't want that.
And you all participated in this, and they can't take that away from you, and we're
going to continue fighting. It doesn't matter how much mainstream outlets come after us.
It doesn't matter how much mainstream outlets come after our movement. We are here to stay.
Did you want to watch the CNN piece? Don't want to sell of it. I mean, yeah, it's fine. It's just
Just to see that he's not doing any weights.
But Hassan is not a Trump supporter.
He's a progressive, a fan of Bernie and AOC.
The Democratic Party even invited him to the DNC in August.
One thing we've been hearing for weeks now is that the left needs a Joe Rogan.
Yeah, I don't think that the Democratic Party can podcast itself out of this issue.
Joe Rogan, he endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2020.
fish do an autopsy on why he left the party.
I like to work out.
I'm very bro-y.
A lot of people look at the optics of that
and they don't like it.
They think like, oh, well, he's a little toxic, isn't he?
And they don't really listen to what I have to say
because I'm significantly more progressive
than the average democratic campaign.
I've heard you say when it comes to stuff that guys like.
You know, you seek that stuff out online,
whether it's watching a streamer,
whether it's watching guys talking about working out
and fitness, you say that the right wing
just dominates that space.
Yeah.
Why?
Well, I think that's why I started on Twitch, right?
I know for a fact that the video game space is like,
people who consume this culture,
people who are a part of this culture
are not all right wing.
I wanted to showcase to people that like,
no, you can be a progressive person,
you can be a leftist and like have fun at the same time.
How many people are watching your livestream
election night. The total unique number was 7.5 million. There's a general sense that when it
comes to the world of podcasts, alternative media, I don't even know what you want to call it,
that Trump did a much better job with that than Democrats and Harris. Absolutely, I think that's
true. I was an A-seer early when I saw the Aiden Ross collab. I thought this is not,
this doesn't have motion. So this is Trump with Aiden Ross? Yeah, when Trump went on Aiden Ross's
stream. I was like, it was awkward. It was weird. But then I saw Trump on the
Ovan and he started talking about cocaine and I was like, uh-oh, this, this
humanizes him cocaine is stronger. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You see your
way up with cocaine more than anything else you can think of. Okay. I'll turn you
into a damn owl homie. You know what I'm saying? Harris did consider going on
and Joe Rogan, but she didn't.
So that was a mistake as well, I think,
because Joe Rogan can't deliver adversarial interviews
of his life dependent on it.
What is this that the Democrat party has to do differently?
Well, I think that they need to change their policies.
It's a policy thing.
Yes, it's 100% a policy thing.
the boring answer. Although it would be very self-serving for me to say, I'm the left Joe
Rogan, the Democratic Party should give me millions of dollars. That's not going to
solve this problem. What will solve this problem is if the Democratic Party actually
adopts real left-wing economic populist messaging instead of purposefully avoiding that stuff
because they're terrified of ego trip. What do you mean? This is, this, the reason why
I'm playing this video from 2024 is because when the Democrats were desperate and trying
to figure out what had taken place, they were trying to figure out a narrative of how they
lost young men. They came to me for that reason. They came to me to say, oh, you talked to
a lot of young men. You captured their attention. How do you do it? And I said back then, eight
exactly what I've been saying now. So what changed? The question is, what changed? Right?
Because I didn't change. Is my commentary any different back then than it is right now? Of course
not. Setting their corporate donors. I think Trump speaks to mail insecurities better. And I think
Trump speaks to the anger that people have. Whereas the other side of the political spectrum
does not speak to that anger at all. There's been a lot of controversy around you. Yes. The way you
talk about Israel is viewed by some as anti-Semitic. Yeah. Are you anti-Semitic? Of course not.
The real problem here is that I'm an anti-Zionist. The real problem here is that I'm extremely critical
of Israel and all of the information that's readily available, especially on social media,
for so many people that don't necessarily rely on mainstream media any longer to get
their information.
And that's why you see this generational gap.
If you're over the age of 35, you're still operating on the old boundaries.
You're like, no, Israel's the most moral democracy in the Middle East, maybe in the world, right?
And I think that the major generational divide that is, I think, in a very damaging way,
into the mistrust overall that it will have with mainstream news in general is coming from that.
If this doesn't show you how full of shit mainstream media is, I don't know what to tell you,
okay? And I don't want them to be like this, okay?
I don't want them to be like this. I don't want them to operate like this. I want them to be
sincere. I want them to do their fucking job. Their job is far too important. The fourth estate
is far too important to just cast aside. You understand?
But the reason why they've changed their attitude on me, down to Aaron Burnett, who
even last night had Abdul El Sayed on and talked about me as this toxic, poisonous, odious figure
that's harming the chances of Democrats, even though in 2024 she was like, her Sompiker is so right.
The reason why they're doing that is not because my position shifted, it's because they realized
that the changes that they wanted were also going to come at a cost. And that
cost was more representative politics. If I was this grifter in the way that
Democrats or in the way that people to my left sometimes say that I am, okay, or
in the way that like Democratic consultants claim that I am, I would have
just shut the fuck up and I would have said, hey guys, it's time to get to work.
We got to elect Democrats no matter where vote blue no matter who
Okay
That's what I would have done. I would have shut the fuck up about Israel. I
Wouldn't be touching any races that that flip seats
Okay, I wouldn't do any of that. I wouldn't do any of that at all
Right. Oh, I'm here to just simply bring young men back into the Democratic Party
no matter who it's for. But do I do that? No. And that is the problem. Okay? I could
have been another Van Jones figure. If I cared about my own prestige, if I cared about my
own cloud, if I cared about making money, then I would have just been Van Jones. Van Jones
got a hundred million dollars. Van Jones used to be a malice third-worldest. Now he sings
the praises the sings the praises of Israel every night on CNN got a hundred
million dollars of unconditional money from Jeff Bezos do you understand there
are plenty of examples in mainstream media of those who are loyal servants to
capital. I am not one of them and that freedom is what is frustrating to many
in the media that know they have to serve their corporate masters and that
freedom is what is terrifying to those who want to maintain control over the
Democratic Party, who do not want the Democrats that are elected to ever
represent the interests of the masses. They are terrified not of our failure but
of our success, because our success represents that there is an opportunity for real representative
democracy. That is what they oppose and that is what they fear, because our success is
creating the threat of an alternative. It causes people to open their eyes and say,
Why can't we have this?
Why can't we have a Zoram-Lamdani-like figure in our locality, in our municipality, in our
state?
That's it.
That is the reality and that is why they so vociferously opposed this movement and they
they use me as the standalone figure.
James Karchick says, in defense of guilt by association, judging people by the company
they keep is actually very good, is a very good determinant of their character.
If the Atlantic magazine is doing guilt by association, there's a pig of their owner,
Lauren Powell Jobs with Giselaan Maxwell.
They want to crush our souls, okay?
They want to make sure that we feel disaffected, disillusioned.
They want to foment discontent.
They want us to no longer participate in this process.
We are not going to stop.
I will issue that promise to you.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter how hard they come after me.
They'll stop my travels.
They'll try to engage in lawfare.
They will utilize, they will utilize the prosctor of powers of the government.
They will deplatform us, they will try to silence us, but we will continue.
Do you understand?
These results are just the beginning.
choice from you gov socialist democrats versus maga republicans 54% say they
would vote for a democratic socialist over 36% saying they would vote for a
maga democrat do you understand this is what they fear this is what they oppose
and now alexandria cosia-cortez is talking about 2028 says life doesn't
wait for you to be ready in a wide-ranging interview the new york
Congresswoman offered her detailed insight yet into how she's thinking about a possible
presidential run.
And the summarization is clear.
She basically is saying she's looking at the midterms results and she will decide from
that point on.
I think Obdelossi Ed's race is going to be a pivotal one for this, right?
But of course, that is precisely the reason why JD Vance is moving in the direction of
a possible AOC run. Daily mail exclusive, daily mail, caught up with JD Vance on the tarmac
and asked him some exclusive questions. Yes, I know we're going to talk about Trump banning
diesel exports in a second. Things are not going great in the war effort. JD Vance tears
in the AOC, now the state over Hassan Piker ties and says Democrats are afraid to cut
him loose.
Van spoke exclusively to the Daily Mail after a campaign rally in North Carolina on Tuesday
where he pointed out some of Piker's most controversial comments as an example of how
radical the Democratic Party has become.
He called out Piker's completely insane comments, including claims that the United States of
America is the top dog in terrorism and worse than al-Qaeda, the 35-year-old controversial
Twitch streamer has also cited Communist China as an economic and political model for the
United States.
Piker has campaigned for or interviewed at least a dozen Democratic political figures
running for Congress, most notably Michigan, Senate, Canada,
and New York Congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
This is not a party that is actually
about the American people anymore,
advanced, told a Daily Mail.
It really is a party that's dominated by and controlled
by far left radical left.
Parker's shocking comment that America's deserve 9-11
has become the subject of Republican attack
as against Abdul-Asaid who's running
against Trump endorsed Mike Rogers.
The race is considered a toss-up,
and polling shows the candidates neck and neck
of Washington Post, George Macy University poll
conducted in September 10,
showed up the loss of a forty eight percent support just three points over
rogers who's at forty five percent
i'll say it is the fed is really should look like you're noting that although
he disagrees with some of the guys more radical statements about there is a
police fighters audience is important to reach is a young prominent democratic
socialist fighters over three million followers
but this
and this part is actually correct i love i love that what i love when my uh...
enemies
i love when enemies of the people my enemies
will sometimes accidentally say the truth.
Vance called Piker's views straight-up Marxism with some economic populism
mixed in.
No notes.
No notes, you fucking boomer.
This doesn't have that same terrifying stink associated
with the Old Guard
any longer
many other people have said things uh... more interestingly well before he did
without all the crazy shit based on the daily mail
in the past as noted republics campaign against democrats who notably had more
liberal political positions were not crazy like the democrats twenty twenty
six is hard attack brock obama bill clinton is completely insane people
much you might disagree with their body policies it's a lot easier to tag outside
and i don't see is crazy people because the crazy stuff they've said and i'm
public life
now here's the issue
there is a generational gap here
okay
when jadie vance says all well bill clinton is not crazy when barack obama
is not crazy but these new guys are crazy well first of all you were calling
them crazy as well
do you love obama now
is that what it is is obama no longer a muslim communist
now the zara mondani has come around now he's the muslim communist
now that obdl also has come around now he's the muslim communist you said that
about Barack Obama as well. Barack Hussein Obama. Donald Trump still says that about
Barack Hussein Obama. Perhaps the overtone window is shifting and that's why they have
to get on this defensive posture. This is not bad. This is good for us.
Vance appeared in North Carolina. The vice president said he would continue raising Piker's
extreme views to voters in hopes of forcing Democrats to disavow them. It's kind of been
fun to see various candidates on the left when confronted with something this guy said,
he told Daily Mail, adding that it should be very easy for Democrats to do so. They
can't do that because they're so controlled by the interest groups the far left of their
own party. You're controlled by the interest groups, dumbass. I like that they are presenting
me as an interest group. They're presenting us. They're presenting the Democratic Socialist
of America as a movement, as an interest group. We are not an interest group. We are a collection
of voters, advocates, organizers, activists, labor union members, teachers, nurses, engineers.
We are not an interest group.
As a matter of fact, we oppose interest groups.
And perhaps if we're talking about control, the Republican Party is almost entirely servile
to the interests of Israel.
How's that for America first?
And further record, even the daily mail comments don't agree with J.D. Vance.
Sampak has become the new boogeyman for publics who've been bigger right-wing provocateurs.
They don't disavow Rush Limbaugh.
I miss Nick Fuentes.
I think Dr. Elsa had handled it the best.
Why are you asking me about it?
To assure me this is a diversion from the actual problems of the country.
If Jett is scowling and angry, then it must be a day that ends with why.
Hey, how about tearing into your boss for trashing the Constitution?
Not at them.
Those court order to be released on redacted Epstein files.
Hey, GAD, when are you going to disavow your allegiance to the war criminal BB?
This is the Daily Mail News section comments, folks.
They are losing their grip on the narrative, but the media is so echo chambered into thinking
that the world is one way, and grossly overstating their persuasive power, their capabilities
of persuasion, that they legitimately do not recognize that the people are done with their
bullshit. Okay? They're done. The people are done. There is, there, there are so many different
crises taking place right now. They don't want to hear about fucking Hassan Piker.
And when they do hear about Hassan Piker, they don't think this guy is wrong. They as
a matter of fact think, wait a minute, why aren't other people talking like him? So go
Go ahead, keep posturing this way with the hopes that you can bully people into submission
with the hopes that you can put the toothpaste back in the tube.
It's not going to happen.
I'm worried that the olds will fall for this.
If you're worried that the old's will fall for this shit,
then talk to them.
You know, old's in your life.
Reach out.
We have a tremendous opportunity in outreach.
There are 30,000 different Americans in here
throughout the hour for eight hours a day.
Talk to your relatives.
That's what we have in our hands, talk to your neighbors.
We have the opportunity to make these changes.
Meanwhile, what are the Democrats doing?
Scoop.
Hakim Jeffries is set to attend a fundraiser hosted by Fox News' favorite disaffected Democrat
along with a number of dem lobbyists at Trump's, at Trump World's most influential firm.
is from the bulwark by the way, a nightmare on K Street.
Now Hakim Jeffries is no longer attending the planned event that it would not be happening.
The article below has been modified to include this information and statement.
Oh no, Hakim Jeffries abruptly cancels fundraiser with Fox News' favorite dem as soon as this
came out.
Yeah. What happened, Hakeem? What happened, Hakeem?
And he was the NC position followed it up on CNN.
the affirmative, claiming I was right, and could bring back young men to the Democratic
Party in 2026, those young folks were able to...
He hates the changes.
Young folks made.
I told him they're busy deflecting. They don't want to address the issue. He asked about the 9-11 thing too and I told him about blowback and he was like, well, yeah, it's easy to talk to boomers when you're normal. Yeah.
Guys, guys, guys, guys. Guys, hold on. Hold on.
Hakeem Jeffries is actually attending that fundraiser that was put together by Mike LaRosa,
who has endorsed Mike Rogers, by the way, in the Abdulla said, race in Michigan, to
talk about affordability.
Oh my God.
Why didn't Hakeem say that?
Guys.
Guys.
He's there to talk to these billionaire
MAGA mega donors about affordability
God damn it
You're being so ridiculous, dude
What is the leader of the Democratic Party no longer allowed to attend Maga billionaire fundraisers
What is going on?
I said establishment Democrats showing where the tent poles are every single day.
They do not want anti-zionists in the party.
Trumpian losers are always welcome, however.
This was about affordability to who Kim Jeffries met privately with Silicon Valley donors
in a bid to mend fences. Yes, about affordability.
Hakeem Jeffries was saying, I'm affordable. I'm an affordable lap dog.
You can buy my influence
for a couple hundred thousand dollars. I will lick your boots.
Please, sir.
That's what he was saying. When Hakeem Jeffries talks about affordability, he's talking about how affordable he is.
How easy he is.
You understand?
When he talks to Jared Kushner he's talking about affordabilities like I am affordable
please.
We too, we too share the same interest anyway.
So let's get to UNGA.
Now that I've covered some of these other stories and obviously later in the day we
We will be talking about this story, this bombshell report coming out of ProPublica.
Excuse me, sir, but Kim Jeffries, our sexual panther, is trying to lead during a time of authoritarian overreach, why are you trying to impede him? I know.
I just don't understand what it takes.
Did you see Nira's response to calling you? Oh yeah. I'm perplexed by the idea of these
two doing a press conference together because I've been told to pair with Liz Shaney, who
fought for Trump, is the work of the devil. I said, I love that you've never stopped crying
about me campaigning alongside Dems when you still defend Liz Shaney, who's anti-abortion
voted with Trump 90% of the way, and is anti-LGBT Lamar. You are as unprincipled as you are
belligerent. Nira Tandis said, you claim to fight fascism. Are you okay with Mayor Mamdani
praising the housing Trump bill to New York City? My concern has been that the GOP would
Weaponize your comments that americans are not 11 new ones like americans pound for pound wars now cut against those dems you campaign for and since
We're now on the up 10th up 10th Mike Rogers at attacking. I'll do a save for his connection to you and those comments
I think I was pretty right now. I hope it doesn't work, but why do you make this campaign harder even now?
It's a mystery. I don't know why your ego is bigger than your desire for lc the win only you can answer that question. She says
Near attended dodging the question
I see you have no interest in answering my question.
Nira Tandon is on the timeline today, we'll be talking about her connection because she
She has been talking about, she has been talking, a big game about Richard Hananya.
Now I've talked about Hananya in the past, some of you might remember, he's a race realist,
an odious monster, an Epstein defender. Right. Near a swerving past issues like she's leaving
happy hour? Yeah. I see you have no, I didn't ask her a question. I'm just gonna say I see
you have no way of addressing
your hypocrisy. I like housing being built.
When Trump endorses and campaigns with Mamdani, I will be on the front lines opposing him.
What happened with clavicular? I just saw the headline. Yeah.
So.
Yeah. Here is the,
here is the right wing faction of the Democratic party,
all coming to the same conclusion.
these are all the same exact talking points
look at this are y'all tired of giving mom donnie a pass but at least one of the
super the potas get stuff done for new york city quarry walker
this is
the israel first contingency
that does not actually represent a real constituency in the party
and is outside
in their chirping on twitter
okay
represent virtually no real constituency make up 90 percent of the commentary on mainstream
media
interesting dynamic
look at that
they all arrived at the same exact conclusion
Why is mom Donnie getting a pass for talking to Donald Trump? Okay, interesting, interesting.
These are snakes in the grass, okay? These people do not represent a real constituency
Party amongst the Democratic Party, okay, they are enemies in this supposed anti-Trump coalition.
They're not actually anti-Trump, okay.
They're just here to maintain unlimited fealty to the state of Israel on the Democratic Party
at a time when it's a 90-10 issue. Okay? I need you to understand. That's why they
constantly attack any nominally anti-Israel candidate over and over again
and make ridiculous, ridiculous statements. They're both so mad. I'm
I'm perplexed by the idea of these two doing a press conference together.
This is about Zoram Mamdani's conference with Donald Trump.
Because I've been told, apparently, with Lishany, who fought Trump as the work of the
devil.
Well, Mamdani gets everything he wants and under his rule in New York City, the Islamic
call to prayer is now blasting in every neighborhood.
So I guess you better get used to it, Benny Johnson.
Nobody in the GOP is going to do anything to stop it.
The Islamic communists get whatever they want.
These are two Israel firsters, you understand?
Straight up, they represented two wings of the same political faction.
They are Israel first.
They are Israel first.
This is all they care about.
They will use any and every opportunity to attack anti-Israel political figures.
This is also precisely the reason why they will constantly go after Tucker Carlson.
Their job is to maintain a uniparty approach to Israel and it's becoming virtually impossible.
Obviously, on the right, it's much easier to continue the unlimited fealty to Israel,
but on the left, on the liberal side, it's virtually impossible.
That's why they will protect all figures that are Israel first and attack figures who are
not.
As a progressive European, I'm not sure what to think about Trump and Mamdani.
It's a political difference that feels weird to me.
Listen, I have my personal opinion on this as well.
I've told you yesterday.
I worry sometimes that when Zoran leans into Trump and doesn't, in exchange for that, in
exchange for that media moment, doesn't turn around and back to left, you know?
There needs to be a parity here.
If you're going to, if you're going to on the one hand, stand next to Trump and have
Trump basically endorse you, right?
You have to still turn around and, you know, show that you are a real leftist, right?
That's all I expect.
I don't have issues with Donald Trump coming to take a little bit of Zoran shine, right?
I think it benefits Zoran more than it benefits Trump at the end of the day, right?
He's the mayor.
He's trying to secure funds from the federal government.
trying to avoid the the anger of Donald Trump who can just you know send ice
agents to New York City make his make his constituents life of living hell he
is trying to protect the city right he's playing politics he's doing politics
he's playing politics but in exchange for that like I'm not I'm not one of these
people was like yeah of Zoran how dare you work with the president like that's
crazy. What you get in exchange for that matters and while you do that you should
still show the rest of the world, in everyone paying attention, that you are
a democratic socialist, that you're not betraying your first principles, that
you're not betraying your movement, that you are a part of. I talked about this
yesterday, right? I talked about this yesterday. You do that, but you also have to give. It's a
give and take. If you distance yourself from the left over and over again, if you distance yourself
from the democratic socialists, and then you increasingly appear with more and more odious
figures on the far right, if you constantly, if you constantly hype up Hakeem Jeffries, defend
Hakeem Jeffries, one of the biggest pro-Israel politicians in the country. And you don't actually,
and then you say, oh, I'm not going to protest Benjamin Netanyahu, of course. I can't arrest
Benjamin Netanyahu, which is understandable, that was never going to be able to happen
for you, even though you made that as a campaign promise.
You are presenting yourself as not just pragmatic, but conciliatory to some of these politics that you opposed your entire life.
Do you understand?
Our goal with Zoram Mammadani's electoral victory is twofold.
Of course we want him to be a good mayor for New York, we want him to be the best mayor for New York.
But what a lot of people fail to comprehend here is that the goal here is to associate good governance with democratic socialism,
to show why a democratic socialist mayor of New York is different than any other democratic mayor of New York.
You're being ridiculous or perhaps I care more about the broader movement.
Here's the thing, Sauron is already doing that.
He's doing that right now, so let's take a look at the other side of the story.
Donnie today came out and showed the Democratic Socialist difference.
There was a reason why during his election, there were millions of dollars spent against
them that DoorDash fundraised against them.
So, let's talk, I'm always going to be honest, I'm going to call balls and I'm going to call strikes, okay?
So, if on the one hand, Zoran is constantly on the main stage defending Hakeem Jeffries,
appearing alongside Trump, saying he can't arrest Benjamin Nenial, which is understandable.
Of course, he just literally doesn't have the power, says he's not going to protest against Benjamin Nenial,
which is, you know, I guess fair, because he's not an activist, he's a mayor, sure.
sure his appearance there would be far too chaotic is is the argument from
others right yeah so the criticism just now kind of wrong guys I'm sorry but you
can't dick eat a singular individual you're falling for the cult of
personality sometimes people do this for me as well and as equally as annoying
You can't do this, okay?
Every time I offer minor criticism against Zara Mammdani, if you're going to come in here and fucking, you know, be like, no, everything he's doing is fantastic and phenomenal. Shut the fuck up.
Then we don't have a movement. That's it. We don't have a movement at all.
We need to have outside pressure.
pressure. I will not betray my values and I will not betray my principles and I will
not betray a broader movement at the behest of a singular individual who is unbelievably
popular. It's good that he's unbelievably popular. We want him to continue being a
good mayor. Okay, minor criticism, minor criticism or worrying signs that I'm
seeing does not mean that I'm saying oh he's bad, he's gone, he's captive to
corporate interests or he's captive to Ikeem Jeffries or anything like that.
Stop developing a parasocial relationship with elected representatives.
This happens all the time with AOC as well. Sometimes I criticize AOC people
yell at me, sometimes I defend AOC, even more people yell at me.
We have to always critique our elected representatives.
What the hell is going on?
That previous poll showing Demsox polled better than MAGA is downstream of Zoran's good governance.
Yes, absolutely. If you can't use the fact that he's polling plus five nationally favorably wise to build whatever socialism you want to build, then that's a skill issue, you know, like he's building the road for you to walk down.
Dude.
I know.
I understand that.
But if he's lending his popularity to consistently defending Hakim Jeffries,
Don't you see a little bit of an issue there as well?
Yeah, when he comes out and his sRG strategic response group is talking about how they're gonna tackle left wing extremism and right wing extremism
What do you think that spells?
About where his ambitions lie
He is a crafty enough political figure and a phenomenal orator to be able to dance around these issues.
So what he is, what he is defending matters and what he's giving up matters. Okay? I'm sorry.
I still to this day don't know what his ambitions are in terms of consistently defending Hakeem
Jeffries. He's never let it be known. Okay. I still to this day don't know what his ambitions
are in terms of not having a replacement in mind for Tish with the inevitable showdown.
I still don't know why he hasn't worked to disband the SRG.
Zoram-Mumdani came from this pro-Palestine movement.
I'm not one of these people whose expectations are insane
from Zoram-Mumdani, but he came from the pro-Palestine
movement.
OK?
He started as students for just for Palestine chapter
Boat and College. This is where his organizational background is from. Okay? This is not, for
me at least, this is not just about like him winning trust with people so we can become
the mayor of New York. We also need to gum up the works with an inside-outside strategy
competing on illegal land sales that he has opposed his entire life.
He is kept tished because there's no viable replacement.
The fact that there's no viable replacement in the NYPD or no like a succession plan is
a problem.
I think I figured out the disconnect, at least for myself.
I thought that by the amount of time and the way you've been talking about Zora,
made it seem like his lack of explicit messaging about what socialism has brought
people was deeper and more damning than it sounds like you intend.
As you say, it's minor critique. So I got you now. I mean,
it's a minor critique. Now it can turn into a major critique in the future.
That's my point.
Like there's a push and pull here, right?
Zora Mamnani should be saying, you know, we're a big tent.
We're in this together. That's understandable.
But also, he should still differentiate himself as a Democratic Socialist.
The DSA is not a vehicle for Democrats to get elected and to do a branding project for the Democratic Party.
That's it.
That's my...
That's my issue.
If the DSA turns into a door-knocking operation for cadre candidates that get elected and then turn around and say hey
We're this is what the Democratic Party is all about. This is who we are. I love Hakeem Jeffries
No, we will not do anything about illegal land sales for example
Then what the fuck are we doing?
Then the Ultras are right then the DSA left is right for the record
Like, we can't talk about any of this stuff?
Is this about building the political project of individuals, or is this about building
a political project that serves the people, a much broader political project?
And yes, I do take ownership over the fact that we have a lot more work to do, that we
should continue taking advantage of Zoran's popularity and his good governance, to demand
more Zorans that pop up left and right, while also still recognizing that he is a profoundly
influential figure and with that profound level of influence that he now commands, others
that come after him will follow his same trajectory.
If that softens the approach of socialists, if that softens the approach of socialists
in the future, then what do we do?
We must be thinking with the future in mind.
Who will be the Secretary of Defense if AOC runs for President?
How will we push for AOC's foreign policy to be dramatically different than previous
presidents both Democrat and Republican?
Is the project simply about leaning into AOC's popularity, to fill the DSA's coffers, to
bring new people who are just straight up social Democrats into the fold?
Or is the project about building socialism in the country?
This is a question that is the number one question at the heart between the DSA left
and the DSA right, the two factions that are, you know, having internal debate all the time.
I find myself smack dabbing the center of this issue for the record because I do understand
the platform. Elections being a major opportunity to show the legitimacy of our movement, to
reach out to people who previously had never heard from us, and to get them on board, to
bring them into the fold, to bring them into our political organization that will push
this movement further. So yes, I am at the center of the DSA. I'm a centrist. I'm an
extreme centrist when it comes to DSA left positions and DSA right positions.
But also at the same time, I still am very cognizant of the reality of the limits of
bourgeois elections.
It's a fine line.
We can't be overly deferential to elected officials and become a defense operation for
politicians, but endless public critique and sometimes nitpicking makes it more likely
that we don't fully unify around candidates and push all elected officials away.
Rhode Island DSA. I agree. I agree.
We have to keep everyone together.
We have to keep everyone together.
From the rank and filers, to the organs of propaganda, to the elected representatives.
If we do not maintain a unified front, if we have, you unleashed LaSalle upon New York
City from his ancient tome that marks an angles of sealed, now you reap what you sowed.
down. Okay. There is also part of the reason why I personally don't run for office either.
This is also a part of that reason, because someone has to be on the outside applying pressure
when pressure is necessary, okay?
That's it.
I never want to be the type of person who is like constantly in opposition to every fucking
like nominally socialist elected representative who makes a living off of doing that.
I'm not one of those people.
I'm not going to be ankle biting Zoran or AOC and try to make myself into a political
figure by doing so, okay?
This is a collaborative, principled, large, working class movement.
Okay?
Running for office with all those spicy clips?
I mean, what? You think that's gonna be an issue? Are you fucking kidding me?
It's not even an issue now. Why the fuck do you think this would be an issue?
I run in a fucking deep blue district, and those clips gain tremendous amounts of legitimacy all of a sudden.
You think I can't fucking talk my way out of those clips? This is what I do for a living
Anyway
Donald Trump is the president. I don't know if you guys are aware of this
I have long maintained the position that we need more bold and and brave
communicators across the board. We need it. And here's the proof. The bold and
brave communicators are actually winning so hard. Okay? That they're coming to us.
Kamala Harris did a round table with Abdul Al Sayed today. Kamala Harris did a
a round table with Abdul Al Sayed today. Abdul's poll results are still looking tremendous.
Poll after poll showing that he is still surging. On a call with some DSA elected is currently
answering a question about the workers who are more agenda and where they disagree with,
i.e. where they disagree with the DSA platform. Illinois State Senator Rachel Ventura defunding
the police is the opposite of democratic socialism. Ed and Jermette, we're only going to see
more friction in this regard. There's a very clear gap between where the elected officials
are posed or on and where the institutional leadership is that can only be quietly ignored
for so long. The tough thing here is that, okay, I don't, I don't, I know you know this,
but that's not Kamala coming to us. That's her purely doing a disingenuous rebranding
operation? Sure. But if the anti-Zionist position was so toxic, so odious, so poisonous, then
a major APEC donation recipient would not be actively trying to rebrand herself by getting
a little bit of the shine of the anti-Zionist movement, don't you think? That is an indication
of the seismic shift
in the democratic party's base of politics
okay
anyway
now that i've uh... offered some light criticism
against the storm on the money
let's glaze them once again
because what i like i said i think he's uh... is is
trump
appearance wasn't that it was good
i don't even have an issue of the trump appearance
It's just that every time you do something like that, especially moments after you, you
know, glazed the King Jeffries, moments after you said, oh, I'm not going to participate
in the Benjamin Ninjah who protests, obviously, I'm the mayor.
After you said, oh, sorry, we can't actually arrest Benjamin Ninjah, which is understandable.
There's like, obviously legal reasons as to why you can't do that.
You kind of have to give a little bit to the pro-Palestine movement as well.
Otherwise, it's understandable that the pro-Palestine movement will look to what you're doing.
think you've betrayed them, think you've just left them behind, think that you just simply
used that to deliver trust, to show yourself as an earnest communicator, to show yourself
as a real honest politician, to differentiate yourself from the rest of the field, only
to just like cast them aside when you actually secure power.
Now, two months ago, but here's what he's doing with his new position, okay?
Which I appreciate, which I respect.
He's making DoorDash pay.
Tony Hsu, the CEO of DoorDash, gave business owners a piece of advice.
A CEO, he said, has to take the greedy algorithm and keep going all the way to see if there
is more.
In computer science, a greedy algorithm is one that makes the most optimized, best short-term
outcome choice at every step and never weighs the consequences.
New York City and the tens of thousands of delivery workers who call our city home have
reckoned with greed as a business model for far too long.
Every day, in heat, in snow, and in rain, delivery workers carry goods and food to every
corner of the city.
Early morning egg sandwiches, late night lo mein, and the emergency Pepto abysmal that
could not have come sooner.
of them deliver for DoorDash. And thousands of them have felt the human cost of the greedy
algorithm. For years, DoorDash failed to count every hour worked by delivery workers. This
was not a rounding error or an accidental mistake. In 2023, when the city began enforcing
a minimum pay rate for delivery workers, DoorDash left time out of the count, time on cancelled
trips and trips that crossed city limits.
Investigators at our incredible Department of Consumer and Worker Protection went through
terabytes of DoorDash's own data.
After analyzing 152 million payments and 110 million hours of work, they arrived at a
staggering conclusion.
DoorDash had underpaid more than 260,000 delivery workers across New York City between April
of 2022 and June of 2026, often in violation of the minimum pay rate.
Today, after years of corporate greed and impunity, we are holding DoorDash to account.
I am proud to announce that DoorDash will pay more than $131 million, the largest settlement
for food delivery workers ever secured in American municipal history, and a landmark
win for those who have been mistreated and abused for years with nowhere to turn.
City Hall will not sit idly by, while a mega corporation that made nearly a billion dollars
in profits last year rips off the working people who keep our city moving.
Incredible stuff.
10-10.
No notes.
This is what it's about.
This is the Democratic-Socialist difference.
with the initiatives that Zoran is engaged in with tenants organizers. Okay? The Bad
Landlord's Coalition, the naming and shaming of bad landlords in the city, the threats
to potentially take over slumlord housing that is left inadequate in a state of disrepair
that screws over new yorkers
this is the democratic socialist difference
do you understand
this is what i'm talking about
more of this every day
i will forever
glaze zoram on donnie
for doing stuff like this
yeah
how it started verses how it's going
Following New York City's lobbying push, Dorda spins $1 million on Cuomo's mayoral bid.
We messed up.
Our mistakes meant some New York City dashes were underpaid or paid late.
That's unacceptable.
We're deeply sorry to dashes we let down.
We reached a settlement with the city of New York and we will make this right by paying
every impacted dash or the amounts that are owed.
Zora Mamdani forces Dorda to pay $130 million in stolen wages.
Okay?
From Donnie administration celebrates transfer of 3 Crown Heights buildings away from negligent
owners.
There's a little bit of drama in this transfer by the way, but I'm not going to get into
it.
Okay, but regardless, do you understand?
This is what we love.
This is what we want more of.
This is much deserved praise for not only Zoran, but also all of the people that have
fought long and hard to achieve this result. This is praise that as much
deserve for Zoram but also his team. This is amazing. Thanks to the work of
DCWP, DoorDash will now have to pay more than a hundred and fifteen million
dollars directly to more than two hundred and sixty thousand delivery
workers. No worker will have to file a claim or submit evidence. Our
administration has already identified who is owed and in late October workers
will receive an email detailing their exact amount.
Okay.
Hell yes.
Did you talk about the Susan Collins story? Yes, I'm going to have the journalist who reported on the Susan Collins story in a couple of hours. I haven't talked about it yet.
This is the Democratic Socialist difference, okay? And it is different. And we should recognize it. We should celebrate it. We should praise Zoran.
And more importantly, we should never shy away from both demanding more from Zoran,
but also demanding more from our elected representatives.
you understand? Because that's the point. That's the goal.
Brandic says, can you imagine if the federal government actually went after corporations
like this that is just blaming a number of different poor bogeymen. Yep.
You know, the centrists will start saying there's nothing socialists about
this, even though they would never have done this. I know.
I know that. That's fine. And that's precisely the reason why it's important
for Zoran to be like, no, no, no, no, no, this is the Democratic
Social is different because if he doesn't say that if he takes a if if the Democratic party continued to hug and kiss him
Which is fine, but then he still differentiates himself
Because he is different
Then this is good for our movement
Ask not what you can do for your electeds, but ask what your electeds can do for you.
That is democracy.
Democracy manifest.
Okay, yeah, I saw this.
That's part of the reason why I'm a little bit triggered about this.
It's a massive failure of the New York Democratic Party establishment that this man felt the
the only way he could be ambitious and deliver on his values was by aligning with DSA.
This fucking asshole is making it seem like Zoran Kwame Mamdani didn't get his start in
his organizing home within the DSA and the social, the students for just for Palestine
before DSA.
Okay?
2013 SJP, 2017 DSA.
This is his organizing home.
He is a cadre candidate. There's a difference between a paper endorsement or simply an endorsement
for a DSA candidate versus someone who's organizing home is the Democratic Socialist of America.
Now that his popularity is growing, you're seeing a lot of Democrats be like, well, look,
there's no, there's fundraise, please, look.
They don't want to follow his agenda. They don't want to follow his ideology. They simply
want to fundraise off of him.
It's very important for Azoran to continue differentiating himself so that we can continue
to put more Zorans on the leaderboard and make the necessary changes in American politics.
Not just the changes within the Democratic Party mind you, but in American politics broadly.
Okay?
That's what's important
That's the goal
I think a lot of people misunderstand my position. I'm not here to just like elect
People and and have them ride the popularity wave and become, you know, regular democrats down the line
Okay
We're here to make changes in american politics
long-standing changes
A permanent, resilient base of anti-fascist support against the growing wave of fascism in this country, a socialist change.
What the fuck?
I think it's important to remind people of that reality in moments like this.
Anyway, here's Donnie Denon.
Donnie is floating.
Look at Fox News betraying America
Look at Fox News coming out and showing
How much of a dog they are to Israel? How much of a slave they are to Israel?
The fuck are we doing Fox News pitting
An envoy of Israel against an American mayor
Disgusting. Shame on you. If you had the capacity to feel shame, you would feel it in this moment.
This disgusts me. Saying that a foreign country, putting the interest of a foreign country, what an incredible America first moment.
having a foreign ambassador on to the demand the arrest of an American mayor who's called out said,
and prosecuted.
These people are slaves to Israel.
of a popular American mayor who's called out, said foreign country, for calling out the
unpopular foreign country
Donnie is floating
No, it's very dangerous what the mayor is doing. He's irresponsible
We know we'll see the traffic today in New York City
Donnie Danone, very irresponsible
He arrest Zorra Mamdani.
pig fucker thinks he has any say and I guess I guess only on Fox News do you
get to say shit like this because Fox News is not an America first news network
Fox News is an Israel first news network with speaking to general assembly and
the only thing the mayor can do is listen to the word of the prime minister
well if I were to make a prediction I would predicted me that one of them gets
arrested but that's just me. Yeah, shut up, bitch. What a bitch that guy is. Netanyahu
and an ICC indicted war criminal now accuses New York City's mum Donnie of supporting Hamas
and inciting riots against Jews. This outrageous lie from the man who facilitated years of
cash transfers to Hamas and whose government are militia affiliated with ISIS. Remember
before Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's assassination, Netanyahu incited violence at a rally, where
Israeli extremist demonstrators branded Rabin a traitor and a Nazi.
Here was Benjamin Netanyahu's bitch ass talking shit about Zohran Kwame Mamdani.
Shame on you Mr. Mamdani. Shame on you for supporting the Hamas terrorist monsters who
butchered our people. Shame on you for inciting riots against New York Jews. I'm coming to
You and I'm going to tell the truth about our heroic soldiers and I'm going to tell the truth
He's a pig too
He's a terrorist an indicted war criminal you butcher
Nazis all of them
I
Clarify the pig comment so they can't clap you. What are you talking about?
I can't call a fucking indicted terrorist war criminal and his ambassador pigs or pig fuckers. What are we doing?
What am I allowed to say man shut the fuck up?
Jesus Christ, what do you mean clarify?
The fuck are you talking about?
We're talking about child killers.
You can call an individual politician a pig or a pigfucker or whatever you want to fucking
call him.
What the fuck do you mean?
No, the Twitch terms of service is not on that front.
Oh my god.
You guys misunderstand.
We got a modern reincarnation of Adolf Hitler over here.
A child killer, an indicted war criminal, and you're like, oh my god.
Sorry, just looking at it was left open.
What is left open?
What is left open?
What is left open?
What is left open here?
I just can't say a ideological component associated with an animal.
Okay, that's it.
Stop capitulating ahead of time to bad faith framing because you're so terrified.
Anyway,
Morteza Hussain has a really good take on this, is Netanyahu and other Israeli public officials addressing the international fora and the US public keep using the term shame on you because they still are operating in a paradigm where they believe they have moral capital, others view as legitimate.
They are not.
They no longer maintain the carefully constructed moral high ground.
ground. Do not clip any of this shit, please. Oh my god, I hate this. I genuinely hate
fucking live streaming to this community at a time when there's like so much
So much like a fear
Okay. Oh my god. I fucking hate my own community and then they'll clip this and go Hasan is losing his mind
Okay, I should have just never addressed that dumb fucking chatter
Anyway.
Yes, calling Denny Denon.
Or Benjamin Nino a pig.
is insulting the pigs
let's continue
let's get the donald trump another pig fucking
bullshit ass fascist
at the u n general assembly today
Two thirds of Americans, two thirds of Americans don't think the US is winning the war with
Iran.
When will it end?
So it's an honor to be here.
I'm surprised that CNN is here covering me.
The United Nations allowed us in, sir.
You should not be here covering me.
You said you weren't going to cover me.
You shouldn't be covering me.
Two thirds of Americans don't think that the US is winning the war with Iran.
When will it end?
We'll make it a lot of progress.
Our country is doing really, really well.
Thank you very much.
Americans don't think the United States is winning the war with Iran.
What's your message to world leaders today?
He's such a bitch, dude.
He can't even, he can't even face any, any questions whatsoever.
A little bit of oppositional framing and he just buckles.
He's like, oh, well, you, you said you weren't going to cover me.
Now you want to cover me.
It's bullshit.
Don't cover me.
Will you ban oil exports, Mr. President?
Oh, no, anyway, um
Donald Trump
Also, what is this? Oh, Martha McCallum, how concerned are you about the socialist part
of the equation that we're seeing with LSAT and AOC?
It looks like AOC is talking more seriously about potentially running.
Is she somebody that you hope gets in this race and how concerned are you about the socialist
part of the equation that we're seeing with ASEAD and with AOC?
You know what?
I hate labels.
Nobody.
What do you call me?
I mean, I could think about two different words people would call me and I'm one of the
leaders of Medicare for All.
My father-in-law, look, I'll be honest.
My father-in-law was one of the authors of Social Security
and got called a communist at the time.
I think there's any senior right now
that would call Social Security Communism.
People are-
And her husband, her husband who passed away
was also one of the co-authors of Medicare
for All in the Country.
We're depending on that to get by, to just live.
So I hate all the labels and I think people have to run
what the issues are and what their positions are.
It looks like
Holy shit my goat Kyle Kalinsky wrote some shut up fire based on your America's the biggest terrorist in current affairs
Yeah, I saw
Yes, the U.S. is the world's biggest terrorist on current affairs.
Kyle Kaliske, let's not get outraged about things that are obviously undeniably factually
correct.
Our Dark Wolf commander is back.
But before we do that, let's get into this part of the spectacle.
Donald Trump says he backs U.S. diesel export ban.
Are you tired of winning?
I understand.
Let's not send out the diesel.
We make a lot of diesel.
And I could have a little bit of an effect on regular automobile gasoline, because when
you do that, you know, it's sort of a flow, it's a balance.
But no, I've called for it. I've called for it within my people.
America banning diesels, diesel exports, is devastating for the rest of the world, by the way.
We started the problem, and now we are only accelerating the demise of other countries.
I don't even think this will happen because the oil and gas industry has tremendous power.
And they'll just say, fuck off, of course we're going to continue selling diesel to Europe.
Especially at a time when diesel prices are obviously incredibly high
This would destroy the European markets, do you understand this would destroy Europe
Commerce
Would come to a dead halt. There would be no more logistics trains and trucks run on diesel
There is 0% chance right now that America would cancel all diesel shipments, especially because
Saudi Arabia has actually engaged in some export controls over diesel and Russia is also floating
The idea of diesel export controls as well
America is one of the last countries that's shipping diesel because it's unimpeded. It's not restricted by
You know the blockade of the shared of hormones
It looks like you're on a digital billboard, what is this?
this. Outside of the round table, a digital billboard from the Mike Rogers camp showed
this comment about lynching from a son piker trying to tie it to L side. It also plays
out loud this radio spot from the Rogers camp on piker's comments on black people.
Snelp fact checks this one. Scott jenny shared a similar compilation of piker clips and found
that it lacked context of it being a sarcastic reaction to a comment about woke da's.
Piker has floated a defamation lawsuit over it. After the event ended and most people
around here left the digital billboard truck changed to this.
You don't understand the price of diesel is too damn high.
If the cost of living crisis was getting worse, this will accelerate it to the shadow sphere.
I'm telling you guys, not only will the fossil industry stop shipping diesel to Europe because
of financial concerns, right, because they're making too much money, but I don't think they'll
do it because it will genuinely have a catastrophic impact on the global markets across the board.
You understand? This will destroy. This will like farm equipment needs diesel to operate. You
understand that right? Europe needs diesel. Europe is currently getting this diesel from the United
States of America. If they no longer get diesel from the United States of America, where are they
they're going to get the diesel from? They can't get it from Russia because Ukraine is
targeting energy infrastructure in Russia. And Russia is now saying we're going to stop
diesel exports. They can't get it from Saudi Arabia because they just simply don't have
enough because their infrastructure is destroyed by the IRGC or also by not just IRGC. The
IRGC is stopping shipments from getting out to the Strait of Hormuz, but the ones that
that are going to Europe are going through the east-west pipeline, which is now exploded.
A US export ban on diesel, which Trump is now considering would ironically reduce US diesel
production and further increase prices.
It does not change the pricing benchmark.
Some experts now believe the US may be leaning towards nationalization of domestic fuel markets.
i don't know about that
uh... but uh... you know jd pondon once again
if the european economy fails
then
if the european economy fails
in the american economy will have uh... will will face an impact from that as
well for the record
trump's big escalatory policy helping the kranthar the deep strikes in russian
energy is producing the usual trump would results
russian crude exports booming again meaning mega revenues for the war but
Russian diesel refining hurting, which means US diesel prices are at record highs.
As a logistics coordinator, I'm seeing a lot consolidation and shipment.
We're exporting to avoid the high prices and the diminishing exports of diesel
will just make these import and exports even more costly, which will increase
more prices for all of us.
Yeah.
Guys, oil and gas is a global commodity, as in it is traded on the global marketplace.
Okay, because it is a commodity that has inelastic demand without oil and gas,
which we are currently relying on across the board for our energy grid,
for agricultural output, for our logistics. Without that being shipped all around the world,
world, the entire world turns into Cuba, okay? It's a global commodity. As in, when there
are restrictions happening as a consequence of geopolitical incidents in the Gulf, the
price of oil barrels go up across the board, okay?
This creates inflation for the rest of the world.
We are not separated from other countries unless we just completely break the international
system of finance capital, which once again America designed.
This will lead to a supply chain collapse, and because everything is interconnected,
this will have tremendous negative consequences on America as well.
America will be able to withstand the immediate damage to a certain degree, but America cannot
just retreat from the international system that it designed.
There is a cataclysmic chain of events.
This is why I'm saying that America can't just simply retreat from the rest of the world
like this.
I'll say it to Fox, when you're the president of the United States and people are struggling
with gas, you don't sit there and talk about your new helipad or your ballroom, you go
and do your damn job.
Primarily because initially he supported Donald Trump and the war in Iran.
That has caused gas prices and really everything else to go up.
But how do you get out of it?
But do you think about this?
Well, you actually apply your thought to the problem, not drapes in a ballroom.
So when you're president of the United States and people are struggling with gas, you don't
sit there and talk about your new help.
This message is phenomenal, by the way.
Phenomenal message.
Banger.
No notes on this, okay?
Why are you worried about your ballroom when gas prices are at an all-time high?
Oh my god.
Every day that Trump goes on television and does, you know, Trumpian things is basically
gift to the Obsolval said campaign.
For your drapes in the ballroom, you actually go and do your damn job, you say your opponent,
primarily because initially he supported Donald Trump and the war in Iran.
It's clear, it's concise, it's understandable, it's perfect.
My right-wing Uber driver today told me gas prices high not because of the war
But because they need to slow down the economy because when Trump became president companies started investing too much and that could have negative effects
We are cattle, bro. He's directly affected by gas prices a Colombian immigrant and admitted to have been previously undocumented
I mean come on dude for every guy like that. There are ten guys out there who recognize
That this is directly a result of Donald Trump
Okay. And the polls show that reality. This doesn't mean that there aren't dumb asses out there.
Of course, there's always going to be dumb asses. There's always going to be dumb people. Okay.
Elections are not about winning 100% of the population. It's about winning 51%
or 50% plus.
We're examining that whether it's feasible in terms of the overall refining capacity
and whether a full or partial ban would work.
Is there a timeline for a decision on that?
Yes.
One way or the other.
Mr. President.
I
Anyway, well, I don't want to go I don't want to go through the entire clips
I just want to go through the highlights ever record. I want to go through some of the highlights
I suspect a sin has them. Does anyone here have the highlights?
The base is not eroding. Yes, it is Donald Trump has reached a new levels of unpopularity
And every day, much like Israel, is another day where Trump will lose his popular support.
It's only going to, his unpopularity will only continue to grow.
Here was one moment where he talked about annihilating the Islamic Republic and do it
quickly.
Big talk.
Big talk from the president.
Let's take a look.
But I have a big decision to make.
Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than
it ever was before?
Maybe one of the greatest in the Middle East or even the world?
Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to
kill and destroy people and countries again?
I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness or generations?
But I believe we'll make a deal right after the election because it doesn't make sense
for them not to.
They're waiting to see how I do in the midterm election.
What they don't realize is that I'm not running.
I did that already and won in a landslide.
one in a giant landslide, and I'll be here for two and a half years, the Republican
Party is running, and I'll be helping them.
But I am not running.
I gave absolutely no credence and will not give credence to the election when it comes
to Iran.
It doesn't even enter my mind.
The only thing that does is that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.
The Cowards and Traders, thank you.
The Cowards and Traders were...
Ground invasion on the menu?
No, dude.
The same restrictions that existed for a potential ground invasion still exist to this day.
If anything, it's gotten more difficult because every day that goes on, there's another American
base that has to retreat because they're getting lasered by Iranian munitions, okay?
And the pressure mounts on the American position as we dive deeper and deeper into our strategic
petroleum reserves.
He's so cooked.
He's so unbelievably cooked.
I mean, we are also cooked, let's be real, we are cooked.
The entire planet is cooked, literally and figuratively.
Trump at the UN on Venezuela also had this to say, which by the way, remember, this was
supposed to be for democracy in Venezuela, remember? Remember how many people
yelled at me because I said this is pure imperialism through and through. We are
extracting their natural resources. We are denying Venezuela's sovereignty. We're
denying them an opportunity to develop themselves. Here it is.
absolutely incredible. When you add the United States and Venezuela together we
have more than 60% of the oil in the world. So it's perhaps the biggest deal.
It was a war, but it's perhaps the biggest deal ever made to the victor
along the spoils. You've all heard that. Our actions in Venezuela are proof that
the United States will no longer permit threats to America to gain a
foothold anywhere in the western hemisphere and if necessary we will use our unmatched
military might to secure the vital national interests of the United States as you know
Venezuela had the finest equipment in the world from other countries and guess what
it didn't work didn't even come close to working for decades other yeah there is no rule of
of law. It's might makes right politics. It's the law of the jungle. To the victor
belongs the spoils, he says. There was also another funny moment where Donald Trump said
the United States is working on a massive deal with respect to purchase of potash from
Belarus. The pricing would be for substantially less than we are currently paying to Canada.
Very good news for our farmers and ranchers. Thank you for attention to this matter to
which Lukashenko responded with. Belarus has little potash available for U.S. this year.
Belarus cannot supply large volumes of potash fertilizers to the United States because his
entire 2026 output is already committed under contracts with other countries. Lukashenko
came out and said, yeah, it's not happening.
Trump on the other hand Belarus has lots of potash our farmers need good prices
farmers need good prices, and we want to get a lower price in Canada.
We'll continue to go with Canada, but Belarus would like to sell it for a month.
Yeah.
Potash.
On Cuba, this is what he said.
But I mean what can I say about Cuba that another blackout last night they they don't have
Animal okay straight up an animal
We are causing this
this suffering upon the Cuban population and
He doesn't even know what's going on. He's like yep. We did it
Enough for lights. I don't know what's going on with Cuba, but they're not looking so good
But you know Marcos parents were born in Cuba. It's like a great story and he wants to
Figure it all out mark. All right. You want to figure out what's exactly that? I think he has I think he has figured it out
So we're gonna someday in the near future drop him off in the middle of Cuba just on the way back
On the way back from Iran. We're gonna have one of those big beautiful aircraft carriers
Fly him in drop them off and he'll figure out the rest. He always does
But it is a great story his parents were born there and now look at the position his secretary of state doing a fantastic job
Margot Rubio, such a freaking con artist. He wishes he won the presidency against Obama,
but he lost by last night.
Trump talking about Greenland and you being right about his threat to European countries.
Oh, there was this part too. Yeah. As I announced just days ago, the United States has also
reach an unprecedented agreement regarding the northern frontier of North America, the
large and strategically vital piece of land known as Greenland. This agreement made with
the Kingdom of Denmark, an incredible, beautiful country. And the Greenland people itself gives
the United States permanent control over security and all other needs on that territory. We
The sad state of affairs at the United Nations General Assembly is that Denmark was flexing
as though this was a fantastic result. They were like, oh, yeah, well, you know, this
is the old security agreement. It's the old security arrangement, basically reasserting
their their vassalized status. Like they're just happy that Donald Trump is not, you know,
positioning its military to permanently militarily annex the country.
Have the complete ability to do what is necessary to defend the American continent and also
Europe and other places. No U.S. adversary will ever be permitted to establish a military
presence in Greenland anymore or make sensitive investments there without our express written
approval. We will immediately begin the process of developing a large military presence in
the appropriate locations. We'll be building two very major military bases. This agreement
will be signed later today and I look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark
and Greenland.
I mean, nothing really changed, but the previous formation is also still bad.
What do we do with NATO?
Yeah, like most of the people.
This was another position that people were very frustrated by when I said like I don't like NATO.
I think it's bad.
It's a protection racket that America enforces willing upon European countries.
trees, and not only that, but also that European leaders that think that this
problem will go away. If European leaders think this problem is gonna go away
when Trump goes away, they're wrong. I mean, there's no guarantee that Trump's
gonna go away anyway. If there's one thing to learn, if there's one lesson to
learn from Trump's dealings with Zoram-Amdani, Trump's dealings with China,
and Trump's dealings with Iran, you have to, you have to push back. He does not
respect those who buckle.
Kaia Kall is met with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Al-Rakshi on the sidelines
of the UN General Assembly. We address diplomatic prospects for ending the U.S.
Iran war and fully reopening the Shredda Hormuz. There were no tolls or fees for
passage before the war and there should be none after the war. Navigation must be
free and unimpeded, both in the Shredda Hormuz and the Ba'a Bill Ma'a Nib Shredda. I also
raised domestic repression inside Iran, including sharp rise of executions and death sentences.
In the development of this organization, rest the only true alternative to war. The
This was one topic I pushed back on you saying back in 2019, you were totally vindicated
much respect. Yes. The problem is, these organizations think that America is going
to protect their interest, protect their sovereignty when it's very clear that they're
not doing that, right? They're not. They're not doing that. And when America feels like
they can squeeze more out of Europe, right? When they feel as though they can squeeze
more out of Europe when they feel like they want to move in a certain way that harms European
interests like with the incident, with the war of choice being waged against Iran that
has led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz that is basically squeezing Europe right now.
European leaders don't understand that what comes around goes around like Donald Trump
is going to continue doing this to Europe as well.
European leaders cheered on Iranian aggression and now they're experiencing the economic
shocks as a direct consequence of that.
Is this not a moment to learn the right lesson?
How do you look at what's going on?
What's taking shape around the world and think, nope, we must redouble our commitment to American
Supreme supremacy. I just don't understand it. Anyway, here's Al Jazeera talking about
why the UN General Assembly still matters as world leaders gather.
For generations, leaders have come to this podium, credibility of the United Nations,
at moments of war and peace.
Isn't it funny that all of these people are presented as American adversaries?
And these are obviously always, this has always been the pivotal moments for the UN General
Assembly where leaders that are considered foreign adversaries have come in and warned
about the dangers of America eviscerating international law and being a permanent threat
to international stability.
And they've all been vindicated over and over and over again.
Confronting adversaries and other extraordinary challenges facing humanity.
There's still no place like the UN General Assembly to reach a global audience.
She typically happens quietly behind closed doors, but here in the GA Hall, all 193 member
states get the chance to speak to the world from this podium.
Whether it's Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev banging his fist to be heard at the height
of the Cold War, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez comparing U.S. President George Bush to the
devil.
It still smells of sulfur today.
It smells of sulfur still today, he said.
The podium.
El Diablo.
Well, I'll suffer it, don't I?
Or Benjamin Netanyahu.
Before Iran completes the second stage of nuclear enrichment.
Forshadowing the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.
The last refugees thread their way to shelter as the war comes nearer.
The UN emerged from the ashes of World War II as a means of preventing another major
war through diplomacy.
But today conflicts are killing tens of thousands of people across the world, from Gaza to
Sudan and Ukraine to Myanmar.
Yeah, in the backdrop of this UN General Assembly, the Americans are talking about how they are
destroying the International Criminal Court.
The United States is equally opposed to the out of control.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
I like that the shading and the lighting makes it look like Donald Trump has a Hitler stash here.
Something to be said about this image.
The United States is equally opposed to the out of control institution known as the International Criminal Court.
criminal court. We will never allow U.S. service members or anyone else to be
investigated or given show trials by an anti-American tribunal with no
jurisdiction over us. An evil group of people. I call on all nations that are
members of the ICC to officially resign from this rogue institution
immediately. It is equally unacceptable that with all the genuine
trust. Now, why won't they talk about the genocide of whites in South Africa or the
great replacement taking place in America and all over Europe?
I beg, I beg middle powers to get together and fight for their own sovereignty.
What will take, what will it take for them to wake up to the realities?
America no longer represents stability. America can no longer even fake represents stability around
the global stage. You know, we can have a conversation about if America ever did in the
aftermath of World War II, because you know, we rolled up our sleeves and got the work
to wage yet another endless battle against the growth of communism around the world, the Cold War.
But we are lighting the entire planet on fire.
You want sovereignty for middle powers more than they wanted for themselves, sadly? No, that's not true.
I think the working class in these middle powers also want that sovereignty. What is this?
I want to know what your practical politics are. It's the same thing with Abdul El Sayed in Michigan.
He says I'm not a socialist. He says I'm a capitalist, which didn't surprise me. He's an Egyptian.
and
No, dude. Oh my god, come on come on grandpa
Sometimes even if you're right that's crazy. That's a crazy way to say it especially with this camera angle
That's Egyptians. I
My god, oh my god, this is gonna do numbers on the whatsapp groups, okay?
What's up, Unks in MENA are gonna go crazy for this. Okay. Everybody in MENA loves making jokes at the expense of Egyptians.
That's a crazy thing to say for Norm though.
Between these and other wars, it's struggled to stop as well as a worsening financial crisis triggered by funding cuts and unpaid dues.
The UN is being tested, raising the question, can it deliver when the world needs it most?
Kristen Salumi, Al Jazeera, The United Nations.
people love dunking on Egyptians in the men and region in the same way that like
Latin Americans love South Americans love dunking on Argentinians okay have
the Egyptians not suffered enough they can't even demonstrate their political
will I feel bad in you see an M poll I feel bad for my Egyptian brothers both
living in Egypt. Anyway, breaking records in the wrong way. Harry Emden, holy Toledo
boy is back. 78% of Canadians don't view the US as friend or ally anymore. The vast majority
of Canadians no longer consider the United States a friend or ally. Yeah, of course.
Of course.
shows the president with his lowest approval on foreign affairs ever in a CNN poll in either
of his two terms with us now CNN chief data analyst Harry and pretty low but is this just
for him?
No, this is the whole thing.
This is what we keep seeing him poll after poll after poll.
Donald Trump is not just breaking records in the wrong way for himself.
He is breaking records in the wrong way compared to other presidents as well.
You can see it right here, okay, Trump net-approved foreign affairs.
He is 42 points underwater, my goodness gracious.
That is the lowest that President Trump has ever had.
It is the lowest that any president has ever had on foreign affairs that I could possibly
find.
We're talking about Reagan, we're talking about Clinton, we're talking about Bush, we're
talking about Obama, we're talking about Biden.
Donald Trump takes the cake record low, not just for himself, but for any president on
record.
Minus 42 you brought up George W. Bush because I think there's this idea that that he was incredibly low
Particularly among maybe swing voters after the war with Iraq. Yeah, okay. So you see this minus 42 points here
Why is President Trump hitting these record law numbers?
It is because the center of the electorate you win elections by winning the center of the electorate
You win elections by winning independence and when it comes to foreign affairs and
and independence at this point in term 2.
Look at what Donald Trump is.
He's 57 points underwater.
He's 57 points underwater.
You take his approval minus his disapproval.
Minus 57 points.
George W. Bush, and remember, this was a disaster
going into the 2006 midterm elections.
But look at this, on foreign affairs,
he was just 34 points underwater.
34, 57.
That means that Donald Trump is 23 points lower
than George W. Bush was.
And of course, Johnny B., who had a job back then,
I think I was just in high school, but back in the 2006 elections remember Republicans
didn't just lose the House of Representatives they lost the United States Senate as well
and that was with a minus 34 points.
Imagine what might happen with a minus 57 points.
It is not good news for the President of the United States and it can't be seen as good
news if you're a Republican running for reelection either for the House or Senate because these
are the types of numbers that Democratic majorities in both parties are made of.
This was a terrible year.
Terrible.
Terrible.
They lost so many seats in prison. Trump doing so much worse now
Something more about this comparison between Bush and Trump because again Bush on a rock was so wildly unpopular at this point
How does Trump compare? Yeah, Trump makes Trump makes George W. Bush look popular by comparison
I mean just look here nettle Nate silver weighs in on the GOP polling disaster
Poles for Republicans are just getting worse by the day in a way that isn't actually all that common in midterms
It's got to be most of the gas prices, although maybe AI anxieties are also reverberating negatively for the GOP
Model update out soon. Yeah new high for Democrats on generic ballot plus 8.8 with likely voter adjustment
new low for Trump approval rating
net minus 25
21.5 new de-high in the Senate and House odds good state polls for Democrats pretty much
Everything that's why I was so fucking annoyed with the Democrats
Instead of using every waking moment, lasering Donald Trump and the Republican affiliations
with the historically unpopular presidency, giving any opportunity to the Republicans
to talk about me is perhaps the most idiotic thing you can do.
It almost feels as though you are trying to improve the Trump chances.
It's you're just working against.
Dems are basically working against the rest of the Democratic Party to the best of their ability and the media is playing that role as well and
It's still not going to work. It's still not going to work because of because of the
Unprecedented unpopularity of Trump and his actions
Democrats are literally trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, but Donald Trump is winning in the game of defeat
Byron Donald's in Miami Herald Byron Donald's running for governor has stripped Trump references
from his campaign website. Do you understand? Do you understand how bad things are if the person
running for Florida governor is running away from his affiliations with Donald Trump?
to make impact here.
Democrats by and large have a real opportunity to make impact here, which is why it's very important for us to take advantage of this blue wave.
blue wave to get as many radical left socialist electeds. Socialist adjacent, socialist aligned,
self-avowed socialist. This is a tremendous opportunity across the board to push for a
a blue tsunami.
Remembering how the initial reaction from democratic leadership and some likely presidential
candidates was only to object to the Iran war on procedural grounds and avoid criticizing
the war itself, even as polls signaled that the war was unpopular from the very beginning.
We were there.
We were there from the start.
as we were there from the start against ICE activity when Democrats were literally rushing
over one another, tripping over one another to, you know, to sign the Lake and Riley Act,
tripping over one another to sign a messaging bill to thank our beautiful ICE agents. I
didn't forget. We were there. We were criticizing the do nothing Democrats back then. Why is
it that we still try to reward do-nothing Democrats. They weren't there taking a leadership role
on Israel. They weren't there taking a leadership role against the war in Iran. They weren't
they're taking a leadership role when the discontent was growing against ICE activities.
Let's take a look at Mike Rogers. Let's take a look at Mike Rogers and what he was saying
only a couple weeks ago
remember this is only a couple weeks ago folks
if it's not over soon as everyone would like do you think the president should
have authorization from congress to continue the war or to potentially start a new one
uh... i mean i i i i don't mind given the president authority to continue you
can't stop in in mid-negotiation
if it's not
Mike Rogers wanted to wage war with Iran for 20 years.
He got his wish with Trump.
Only a couple weeks ago, he said, only a couple weeks ago, he said he'd vote to continue
the war.
What changed, Mike?
MO switched back to the old map for November at 100%, I believe.
Hartzell Gray would have beat Immanuel Cleaver had they been against each other, I'm angry
he wasn't given a chance as someone whose district was switched around.
Look, all of our losses are lessons, okay?
All of our losses are lessons.
The Republican Strategy Memo must have gone out this weekend and the numbers must have
been dire, particularly the already tariff battered Midwest, because in the last six
hours both Mike Rogers and Ashley Hinson had called for a very quick and immediate end
to the Iran War.
The war in Iran naced it in to bring costs down, but Michigan families can't afford
to wait.
Here's what we can do now.
Place a temporary embargo on diesel exports.
American energy should provide relief to American families first.
Ashley Hinson Iowans are being squeezed and shouldn't have to put the bill at the
pump.
Now remember, I need to reiterate something here.
If the National Democratic Party from the jump
was a leader in this movement and was
offering strong condemnations against Donald Trump's
unjustifiable war of choice
against Iran at the behest of
another deeply unpopular country, Israel. If they were there from the jump, don't you
think that they would have more credibility in this conversation? They should be kissing
our feet. The Democrats should be coming to us and begging for our credibility, begging
for us to lend our legitimacy.
They should be running around,
geneflecting to the left,
for being there from the start,
and for not listening to the cries coming for,
I think you are overestimating your reach by a fucking lot.
Jesus Christ, this is like listening to a five-year-old learning to read law.
Okay, this is ridiculous. They get criticizing Democrats, but you can't put
this all on them. What the hell, man? Seriously, I'm not wrong. You can't put
this all on Democrats.
Why are we in a supermarket law?
Quefer, I think you're overestimating your reach.
Do you think I'm simply talking about myself?
Or do you think I'm talking about the left broadly, the anti-war movement broadly?
That was about your writing a tweet.
Okay, got it.
If I overestimated my reach, I'd be talking about, you know, how much of an impact I've played in every, in every election.
There are plenty of elections where I didn't campaign alongside certain candidates and yet they still won on the same agenda.
Angie Nixon in Florida, Peggy Flanagan in Minneapolis in Minnesota.
Democrats attacked their left flank and their candidates that were right all
along. Abdullah al-Sayed did not celebrate the war with Iran, and yet the
right flank of the Democrats turned around and leaned into those attacks.
Now, the saving grace of the party are those who were there all along.
At a certain point, at a certain point, Democrats should perhaps take a deep fucking breath
and say, maybe the left is right all the time, maybe we shouldn't simply wait for something
to have 60% disapproval or 80% disapproval before we act on it.
Maybe it plays well to be there from the start.
That way you can have credibility in this conversation.
Look at my chatter Shreya, I really don't care about your Naza's law.
My point is, is genocide a bad thing or not?
What is this?
What are we complaining about today?
Wait, what's the issue?
Is saying innocence should be protected.
I'm confused by what we're upset.
Lightning, lighting the planet on fire.
What are you talking about?
You mean all these people burning fuels, right?
Damn pyramid builders.
Are you okay?
You might be overstating this blue wave of yours, right?
i don't think that is very fair to the democrats i i'm i'm confused are you
just like anti whatever i'm saying
because on the one hand you're presenting this is like being pro
democratic party on the other hand you're saying i'm actually overestimating
democrats chances in glazing the republicans
overwriting at this point in term to bush on a rocky was thirty four points
on the water
but look at donald trump he's forty seven points on the work he's thirteen
points less popular overall when it comes to his around
versus bush is a rock and part of the reason for that issue sixty percent of
republicans
are approving of the job that President Donald J. Trump is doing on and on. Again, these
are just atrocious numbers, atrocious, atrocious, atrocious. Republicans should be running for
the hills, given these numbers.
With us now, CNN's Elena Trin, one of the best parts about the United Nations. We're
going to see you here in person.
In the flesh.
It's a big day for the president, but he's facing some serious, serious headwinds in
terms of what the American people think.
No, absolutely. I actually wrote down these poll numbers because I think to see this on
the day when he's about to address the UN General Assembly, only 36% of Americans say
that the U.S. is winning the war. That's compared to 64% who say, we're not, John. And then
the other, which you mentioned, is how is Trump, the question was how is Trump handling
foreign affairs? Only 29% said they approve of that compared to 71% who disapprove. These
are just abysmal poll numbers when it comes to foreign policy. And that's what we're
going to really hear the president focus on, I'm told, in this address. We heard from
the U.N. Ambassador, Mike Walts, he told other reporters and I that this is going to be a
big focus of the president's speech today, this idea that Iran can never have a new
president.
I managed to, I try to get you to pull me up, I managed in five minutes, yes, I'm an
Asman fan, oh, awesome, okay, well, you're getting fucked over by Donald Trump regardless
of whether you think that he has your best interest in mind or not.
So I hope this was at least a little bit more illuminating for where the movement that
Asmongold is pushing is going, right?
Would it surprise you to know that that chatter was a Dutch fan of Asmongold?
Sneaker needs to take off this Dutch Von Dutch hat as a Dutch person, this cultural appropriation.
No, when someone openly admits, when someone lacks the capacity for shame and openly admits
they're an Asmongole fan, I automatically assume that they're a European cuck who dick rides the
MAGA movement, as the MAGA movement puts his dick all over every orifice in Europe. So it's, you know,
of course, they're also purposely apolitical, where they're just like deeply nihilistic,
enjoy what remains of their social democratic provisions before the American-backed capitalists
will come in and destroy with austerity and privatization their only opportunity for survival.
So, you know, if your European leaders don't act fast enough, you will get a taste of what
the American experience is. A taste of homelessness, a taste of despair, a taste of deteriorating
conditions, an evisceration of social safety nets, things that you currently enjoy, the welfare state
that allows you to exist and spend every waking moment on the internet defending the MAGA movement.
you are jobless and you will be homeless very soon.
That is if Europe continues on the same trajectory. And as a jobless, homeless man,
you will run around and blame migrants. You'll think, oh, it's the refugees that caused this.
It's the refugees that are responsible for this. It won't be.
But hey, have fun. Have fun with your American future. You might have it before you know it.
You might get your wish. I know many of you think, oh yeah, oh yeah, Magga, it's great. Why can't we
have some of that? You'll have a taste of it soon enough. Donald Trump is already commanding the
NATO countries to spend 5% of their GDP on their military. Okay? That money's
got to come out of some pockets and those pockets will be welfare. Once again,
if we get to level 10 hype train I'm buying the DNC headquarters now that
we have a hype train going. We are at level 3 currently on the hype train
with four minutes remaining. Okay, please subscribe to support independent media.
That is directed to Russia. Yes, yes, yes, no, totally. Totally. Well, like I said,
we here in America know exactly what it looks like. We here in the United States of America know
exactly what it looks like when our government focuses all of our productive
output, our productive resources on waging wars for profit and plunder for
capital owners. Okay? We don't we don't use these resources on expanding our
welfare state, expanding our social safety nets, fixing our infrastructure, our
potholes. Europe will learn that lesson soon enough. But by that point, it will be far too late.
And you will ask yourself, how do we get here? Okay.
But this guy is really funny because look at this look at this look he's too stupid to understand the passage of time
I have a perfectly fun jobs that pays better than your 20k year grift Yorva is not mine lol
I'm having the time of my life actually everyone's dunking on me, but it's going to be great and
Then someone says ain't no way it sounds a millionaire or not. He says watch his debate with Charlie Kirk
I'm pretty sure he made only 20k first of all the 60k and secondly that was literally a fucking decade ago. You absolute baboon
You fucking idiot
But why did I expect an asmin gold fan to know
How the passage of time works
Guy says well, I saw the debate recently
You know Charlie Kirk was assassinated right like that debate could not have been recent
That debate is from literally a decade ago
Meanwhile even your Roche God is
Changing his attitude he sees the writing on the wall. He's pivoting look at that could be real
All the weird stuff that the comments that Trump has made about underage girls over the years
All the comments that he's made about being friends with Jeffrey Epstein
And all the weird scams that he's been a part of like Trump coin
This makes him such an imperfect actor that I can't rats jumping ship, baby
maybe. Rats jumping ship. Can't wait for him to be out of off. Oh wait a minute but I thought
he was buh buh buh bass level 6 hype tram by the way. He was, he was defending all this
shit a month ago. What changed man? What changed? Wow. Can these guys hold to any consistent
principles.
The OJ removed all the part-ins from Trump's part-ins from the website.
Nice.
I love that they're gearing up for the post-Trump universe, recognizing that changes are imminent.
Changes are coming.
Accountability is coming.
Yes.
is that you know what Trump is like he's like a really really hard boss with like three
it's it's like a boss like this right actually I don't know if I want to paint a picture and say
this is Trump and then have like weak points on it because I'm going to have the secret
service at my house right so but my point is that like there are just such obvious weaknesses
with Trump's image that I didn't believe in magic until I saw all my dogs turn into snakes
I said to her to run, thank you for the 50 gifted.
Kola Boya, thank you for the 10 gifted.
Hyptrain level seven is imminent.
Hyptrain level six complete, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you, Wish crumbs for the 10.
Going after those weaknesses.
Yeah, we're gonna have, we have to be a lot more.
Both you and Asmin loved to be anti-EU.
God forbid we put our interest in front of the USA's.
Are you fucking stupid?
You have to be a moron, right?
Am I anti-eu? I literally went to the parliament the other day. I was in Belgium
at the european union's parliament
Literally two weeks ago. Okay?
Dumbass
Do you not hear the words that are coming out of my mouth?
I keep saying middle powers need to get together the european union actually needs to demonstrate european sovereignty in order to better protect itself
against american interference
Hello?
You better be real about level 10.
Yeah, I'm going to purchase the DNC headquarters, dude.
What is going on?
Do people never listen to what I have to say?
Do they hear me criticize European leaders and assume I'm just shitting on?
Assume, they just simply assume that I am shitting on Europe all together, okay?
Yes, I know dude, you want Europe to build its robust military capabilities, I got it.
I'm telling you that there's a trade-off for it, okay? And the trade-off is your social safety nets.
Also, Europe's military prowess is not going to be built with its domestic industry.
It's going to be built with American weapons as it has.
That's NATO, a protection racket that also forces Europe to purchase American weapons.
Weapons that America controls.
soldiers that are trained by the American soldiers. You have no sovereignty. No, it's
not. Okay, dude, sure. Yeah, when you purchase a fleet of F 15 fighter jets with with American
keys that can be turned off on a moment's notice, you totally are actually building
your military powers. You're not just turning into a that you are not just further vassalizing
yourself. You're not Israel, little bro. The only country that gets to run its own domestic
operating software on F-35s is Israel. You do not have any contingencies. You are just
a fucking vassal. Barley, 230. Thank you for the 25 gifted. You can't turn off an F-15.
You mean F-35? I didn't say F-15. I said F-35.
2077 think of it at a fork on this. Okay, we're gonna take a step back
Going after those weaknesses with his image
Are too easy. They're too easy and even worse than them being too easy
They're correct. Oh Lee Hassan. You might be branded. Do you think buying jest does not increase your military strength? Oh my god
Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god
There is an opportunity cost there is a finite amount of
Money and wealth and resources that every country has did I say f-15 I apologize. I meant f-35s
Okay
When when 5% of your GDP is
Is spent on purchasing American f-35 fighter jets for example fighter jets that can literally
Be turned off if America doesn't feel like you're using them sufficiently adequately
You didn't actually purchase any sufficient defense
You destroyed your welfare state and further eroded the social safety nets, increased the
discontent among the masses, which will now move further and further to the rightmost
position as the base of support for fascism grows in your country.
And you're now living in a worse country overall.
But hey, guess what, you have some shiny tools that you purchased from American defense contractors.
You gave us the money.
Congratulations.
You have no sovereignty.
You are simply a vassal and living in further deteriorating conditions as a consequence
of that.
I am issuing a warning as an American.
I know what it looks like when your country doesn't care about the average citizen, but
instead cares about filling the pockets of defense contractors, you will never understand
where I'm coming from until you experience it. And by that point, it will be too late.
Okay. By that point, it will be far too late. I never, I did not realize there were so many
European pro-Trump dipshits in here until this very moment.
Truly, it is shocking how many EU cucks in here think that leaning further into
Trumpian desires of further vassalization is going to offer sufficient protection to your country against what?
When the threat is us we are the threat the 9s. Thank you for the 25 gifted subs. No pants. No masses. Thank you for the five
Gifted subs v. Pricks. Thank you for the five gifted subs
You spending 5% of their GDP so 2000 dudes working at Lockheed Martin
Uh, Fort Worth can have a McMansion, lift it F-350s and eat unlimited Jalapeno poppers
of Applebee's, keep buying her shitty F-35s please.
Yes.
I'm so confused.
I don't think the rest of this, I don't think the rest of the population feels this way
by the way.
There's tremendous discontent towards this kind of stuff that I have seen on the ground
in Europe, right?
Bill Bow Bags!
Thank you for the 50 bones.
This is still the minority opinion in Europe, but the leaders do not listen. Yeah, I know, I know.
I know, European leaders have already demonstrated that they do not care about the democratic process whatsoever, especially in the way that they dealt with the Israel issue, right?
How can you be this fucking brain dead? Where do you think? Where do you get the idea that we don't have domestic arms industry?
Oh my God, that also leads to the same problem.
We have a domestic arms industry.
You're identifying only one element of the issue.
For countries that do not have one, they are purchasing American weapons.
For countries that do, they're purchasing American IP.
But even if they build a domestic weapons manufacturing industry, look at the country
that has the most robust domestic defense industry, the United States of America.
Do you want to be like the United States of America?
Do you want to have only private health care?
Do you want to have deteriorating social safety nets?
That is what you will get.
Okay?
Oh my God.
Why is this so hard to comprehend?
France is one since the 50's Sweden has it, I know.
Level 10 hype train, yeah level 20 and I'll purchase it at the NC.
Level 20 hype train, level 10 hype train I just got a call from my accountant said I
can't purchase it at level 10, we got to go to level 20.
Lies, okay, chatters.
What's crazy about this process is like in the interim, in the interim, you'll think,
oh, it's good that the Volkswagen facility is turning into a facility for the defense
industry, right? And before you know it, you're turned into America. You're a loser, Hasan.
Hassan. Holy doggo. Thank you for the 25, 21 gift subs. Don't forget you're speaking
the young online English speakers. These people are not representative.
What is this? Fox them strategist while on Faulkner, Democrats are surging in places where a Sompiker has been shunned.
Dude, oh my god.
And people fall for this propaganda because they have tremendous motivated reasoning, right? They're like, oh, thank god.
Once again, I am but a mere blip in this conversation. I am utterly irrelevant.
And it seems like I'm the only person who recognizes their irrelevance.
It's so strange that these people will not listen to the warnings coming from a person
who is in the midst of experiencing the negative consequences
of a country that has full tilt
eviscerated what remains of its social safety nets
a country that never had the same adequate social safety nets that europe
enjoyed
and doesn't even have a sufficient military
that can actually
withstand
countries
that have a fight for countries that are fighting for their survival right
we spent all this money on our military we already flexed and said oh my god the Houthis
gonna learn today why we don't have health care well it turns out we don't have health care and
we couldn't defeat the Houthis it turns out we don't have health care and we couldn't defeat the IRGC
Now, Europe is looking at that and not even recognizing the dangers.
It doesn't make any sense to me at all.
You have something good and you're advocating for your own demise.
What can I say?
It sometimes literally feels, you just forget about Venezuela constantly.
Wait, what?
Oh my god, Trey still here is back, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, my king, my contingency king is back.
Let's go, contingencies gangie is back dude, permanently wrong, Trey still here, we unbanned him and he is fucking back dude.
Let's go, welcome back gangie.
Hey, Trey, now that you're still here, I gotta ask man, where are the fucking contingencies?
Gangie, where are the goddamn contingencies?
Leaning into Venezuela?
Ooh, that's a good one.
Nature is healing.
Gangie is back.
Clear weapon.
And I know, John, from my conversations with different people at the White House, that
he wants to talk about trying to paint himself really as this person who's bringing peace
to the globe.
But I think these poll numbers are showing a lot of people don't really say the euro cuts in seashore. We just died of Russia
I say to them that for the longest time there was already
Uh, there was already normal cooperation with russia
Trying to find a different chart trying to chart a path forward that goes back to
And you know brings in China as well into the fold and goes back to normal diplomacy and stability
Isn't the best interest of every single party involved? Okay
Sometimes I legitimately feel like Russia is secretly doing this at the behest of the United States
I swear to God. I mean, it's not the case. I'm not saying that at all
But sometimes it really do feel like it sometimes it really does feel like that
any time Russia comes out in postures against Europe with what fucking
standing army who knows right they couldn't even fucking take over Ukraine
and they're like oh we're gonna push we're gonna press into Kalina grad we're
gonna take Estonia Lithuania Finland whatever right Europe obviously here's
that and goes well they're crazy enough to have tried to do this to to Ukraine
they'll do this to us as well oh well nothing else we can do than to lean for
further in the NATO. This benefits America tremendously. If you recall, I talked about
this before, I said, I said, sometimes it feels like Russia is giving a gift-wrapped
basket of goods to america
it's very frustrating
russia is openly signaling they're gonna do something which is vicious i know
I know.
Now what you're picking up on is the fact that the Russian Federation crafted itself an America's image and they kept turning to America and saying we did this for you, we want to be a normal country, America slapped them way over in Oregon, I know.
I know. We don't discuss enough whether or not Europe has a right to exist.
the
you're not gonna like it but since you put twitter on your phone again you've
been letting it dictate how you do commentary
and what you commentate on just like all the msm and you have to stop what do
you mean
i mean i i don't i don't disagree with you but what have i covered that is not
What have I covered that's insufficient?
Did Trey respond?
I don't know.
Also, you have to remember, I let Chad dictate what I cover most of the time, not Twitter.
We agree with that assessment, but I think even beyond what the president says this morning
in his address, what I'm actually looking forward to more is what happens in those bilateral
meetings later today, particularly that one you mentioned with the Gulf nations.
It's going to be members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, you know, people from Saudi Arabia,
Bahrain, many of the people we know that the president has had in his ear, of course, throughout
the war, but especially in recent days when we've seen these attacks from the Houthi rebels
in Yemen, adding another complicating factor to this war.
One thing we know from our reporting is that the Saudis have been asking the president
to help and get involved here, so I think that is going to be a very important part
of this meeting is to see what he says to them, and we know he's been influenced by them in
in the past, whether to move forward with attacks, to hold back on attacks, because
these Gulf nations were afraid of retaliation.
So that's something to pay attention to.
The other thing that's going to be so interesting, just talking about Iran right now, because
of course, it's hanging over this entire UN General Assembly, is the Iranians are actually
going to be here.
They have a slimmed down delegation, and there's a question of could the president actually
meet with them on the sidelines of this.
Waltz last night, I actually told Caitlin Collins, the president's open to it.
And from my conversations, he would be open to, like Walt said, a potential pull aside
with the Iranians.
I think a question is whether or not they're open to it as well.
Joel, I want to start with you because Republicans did vote.
Some Republicans, a handful, voted with Democrats on a recent Iran war powers resolution.
Right.
He is not talking to Congress.
He is talking to the world.
They were already skeptical.
What do you think is going to be the focus, like what needs to be done in a speech like
this?
First and foremost, the war is not just unpopular here at home, it's unpopular globally.
The global economy is suffering.
Our ability to demonstrate that we can lead towards a solution is going to be critical.
I'm not sure the president's going to let...
Noticing a trend that everyone who talks shit about the left-rank, Joel Rubin being
one of them, ends up getting tremendous praise and far more speaking time.
On mainstream outlets. Yeah, he came in here said you forgot about Venezuela and then fucked off
I feel bad trace still here. No longer here
Now the diplomatic path or military path that's convincing though, and that's the problem
But he's always spoken to them with a kind of confidence of like hmm
I disagree I wanted discussion about ruliger bills anti-black commas and was ignore much like the absent discussion on anti-blackness within the DSA
I'm a part of the chat so it seems to me like your posture about the chat is either ignorant about what really goes on in the chat or flat out lying.
Yeah, I hadn't heard about this and I hadn't seen your comments, but I'm really glad that I ignored you.
So yeah, and I'm going to continue doing that actually.
We're the ones who need to be done and y'all are the people.
Well, like the person that you're talking about is black themselves
The person you're talking about is literally half black and half Palestinian
And I hadn't seen your comments
But it's not my white ass is placed to to have a take on this okay
I'm not gonna police the statements of a black woman. I'm gonna sit my white ass down and I'm gonna listen, okay?
Is that good enough for you?
You're head, you know, he got laughed at when he, when he did the sort of chest thumping
a few, a few years ago and in his first term, he better not try that again this time.
He gets laughed.
It's just very strange.
It's just very strange that you want a white man to police the speech of a black woman.
odd odd I'm here to sit my white ass down that you can hear the explosion of
his deploy but of course he's gonna try it again I mean because there's this
I know you better not there's a speech that he should give which Joel is
talking about and then we there's what we know he's gonna do he's like we're
winning the war no in fact we've won the war and in fact the Strait of Hormuz
should be named after me so I I mean this is different the Gulf leaders are
going to be there. They've got questions. They are not seeing robust shipping through
the Strait of Hormuz. The Yemenis are now taking over another area, right, or passage.
It's only getting more difficult for a region of people who thought, well, if we hang out
with the United States, we're going to get through this. And it feels like they're having
doubts. What do you see? I think he'll, I hope that he has a calmer tone today. I don't
know if that will happen, but that's what I do hope. But I also think it was interesting
the markets yesterday, reacted like there was going to be some sort of
negotiation. But I think these side meetings are more important than even
the speech. They are. You've got Venezuela, you've got Ukraine, you've got all the
Arab states, you know, we can go on and on. He has a busy day, so hopefully
something positive comes out of this. Something struck me with the picture of
the Republicans that you put on the camera. Yeah, I'm working against all of those people.
Democrats in voting against the war. Those districts all have something in common.
And they're all very marginal seats where they could be beat very easily.
And right now, all of those people are losing in the polls because it's going to be a democratic
off-gear.
So if you think about that and you think about gas prices and what Joel just said about
it being a global thing, is that not only gas prices are high here, there are folks
rallying around the country at gas stations in other countries because it's going up
everywhere, which is putting a strain, listen to Chuck Rocha, on the global economy.
Okay, very nice, very nice.
I want to play one more thing, because when we look at Trump's handling of foreign affairs
right now, polling is 71% disapprove.
However, Democrats have not exactly offered up a voice to fill that void.
We don't know what you all think.
So here is Senator Bernie Sanders speaking on Monday and what he gave an official kind
of address around foreign policy.
I was there.
We must continue and accelerate our efforts to end Trump's disastrous war in Iran, which
is now spreading throughout the region.
That is why we must continue to speak out against the extremist government in Israel
And the genocide they have committed in Gaza and why we in the United States must end all
military aid to the Netanyahu government.
I wanted to play this because obviously in the Democratic Party there's been a massive
discussion about what the US policy should be when it comes to Israel and more and more
it is table stakes to say that a genocide is being committed in Gaza and that the US
should.
Yeah, I was in the fucking crowd clapping like I sealed it.
military aid and Bernie Sanders in a way has led that charge.
Did you hear anything Joel?
I know you've been critical.
That percure ears about how we did this in this moment in a Riverside, the Riverside
Church in New York.
One other factor yesterday was Yom Kippur.
And I find it to be distressing as a Jewish American to continually hear even on Yom
Kippur that essentially Israel is committing a genocide and must be cut off and banned
from the world.
That's a very different conversation from what I heard at synagogue yesterday where a
lot of people like me who have been advocates for peace for many years and want to see a
two-state solution feels if we're marginalized.
So Sanders did this with all of this in mind.
Obviously he understands the relationship.
Sanders is leading the charge in the party to say that Israel should be banished from
polite society and anybody who supports it should be excluded from the Democratic Party.
I find it to be very liberal.
I think that undermines American foreign policy and undermines morality of the Democratic Party.
I like to add a word in here just because you've written a lot against Bernie Sanders, who you worked for.
Yeah, this guy, this guy's whole shtick is claiming that Bernie Sanders we worked for
is now like the bulwark of growing anti-Semitism in the party.
He's a nasty guy for saying that.
Yeah
Not Chuck man, I'm talking about Joel Rubin
It's also ironic because David my friend
Who put the event together is also Jewish and even talked about how he was fasting or yam Kapoor
But Joel is getting away with this kind of deep anti-semitic rhetoric, deep anti-semitic sentiment,
because it is allowed.
For the pro-Israel crowd, they are allowed to say who's actually Jewish, who's not Jewish.
They're able to pick and choose peoples and take away peoples' Judaism without the host calling into question what they're doing.
I find that repugnant morally unconscionable. I find it in really poor taste.
Not that it matters, not that my perspective matters on the issue because Joel has also considered me to be an anti-semitic person.
He says he claims that I'm an anti-semitic person.
His comments are actually deeply anti-Semitic and utterly unacceptable.
Or do you want to reach a Jewish voter?
No, I mean, I share the anguish that Joel has over this issue.
I think it's pretty clear that Bernie's won this debate in the Democratic Party.
I mean, the speed with which the Democrats have turned against
aid to Israel, particularly against the Netanyahu government,
has been just dramatic.
I mean, I don't think we've seen anything happen quite that
quickly in politics.
So I mean, for better or worse, he's
the future of where the Democratic Party is going with this.
Now, depending on who the Democratic nominee is,
that might slow things down.
If the election goes against Netanyahu and Israel a month
from now, that could change things a little bit.
particularly look among young people among democrats i mean it's like the
game is not a consider he's not a democrat right in a lot of the candidates
coming up behind him are not so that last uh... party is what i'm listening
for yes they are
bernie's an independent but every single candidate that we've run
that's a bernie crack
is running as a democrat
and winning as a democrat inside of
oftentimes close primaries
What are we doing here, man? They're like guess what, Bernie's not a real Democrat, Bernie's
not Jewish, Bernie's an anti-Semite. What are we doing? What is this picking and choosing
of who gets to be considered a Democrat, who gets to be a Jewish? She met in the church,
I think. Oh, maybe I misunderstood what she was saying.
Branding comments just a moment ago from New York City's mayor
Zoran, mom, Donnie, he is doubling down on criticism of
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, insisting he is the
architect of a genocide. Alexis McAdams reports live she's in the New York newsroom this afternoon.
Hey Alexis. Hey Jillian. Well the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is firing back at
Mayor Zora Mondani. He says he's coming to New York City this week no matter what. He accuses
Mayor Mondani of supporting Hamas watch. Shame on you Mr. Mondani. Shame on you for supporting the
Hamas terrorists monsters who butchered our people. Shame on you for inciting riots against
New York Jews. I'm coming to the UN. I'm gonna tell the truth about our heroic
soldiers and I'm gonna tell the truth about you. This comes after the
Democratic Socialist mayor called for the arrest of Netanyahu again. When
asked about it this morning, Mamdani pointed to the International Criminal
Court's arrest warrant for the Israeli Prime Minister, even though he has no
legal authority to even carry that out. When it comes to the Prime Minister is
that he is the subject of an international criminal court
arrest warrant for alleged war crimes and crimes
against humanity.
And as the prime minister is the architect of a horrific
genocide against Palestinians.
Yesterday, President Trump met with Mamdani.
The mayor says they did not discuss Israel in the meeting,
but Jillian Trump has already made it very clear
that no one will be arresting Netanyahu
when he comes to the United States.
This comes after years of anti-Israel protests
across the Big Apple.
We covered them extensively.
They erupted on college campuses
and out into the streets of New York.
Just last week, hundreds of Jewish students
gathered outside the mayor's mansion.
They protested anti-Semitism, as the NYPD says,
hate crimes against Jewish New Yorkers around the rise.
So all eyes around the UN as more demonstrations
are expected there.
Right here in New York City during Net Yau's visit
to the UN on Thursday.
Mamdani says he won't be in the crowd to join in,
but he does say the protesters have the right
to speak their mind, and we're expecting
hear a lot about Jillian. The mayor promising to do so, he well knows well and to not arrest you
know promising to arrest Netanyahu when he knows well he has no ability to do so.
Sounds like a politician. Thanks Alexis. John. All right let's bring it to the Israeli ambassador
to the United Nations. God, they are such a Israel first organization. It's crazy.
Like Fox News Watchers are cattle, we know this right, but even they got to be like come on, man.
They can't be this cattle minded, right?
He doesn't strike them as odd.
Like not even a little bit that Fox News is openly placing the interest of a foreign country
that demands endless amounts of support, loyalty, money.
Because I know when like, you know, when our parents watch CNN and MSNOW, they get mad, right?
Liberals get mad at the way that MSNOW treats Israel with kitty gloves.
At a certain point, the farce news viewership got to recognize how ridiculous this is, right?
It's Danny DeBell, Mr. Ambassador, good to have you with us today.
Why don't we start there?
We know that Mayor Mom Donny does not have the authority to arrest your prime minister,
he's encouraging the federal government to do so, which it never would.
I mean, what do you think of what Mamdani is floating?
No, it's very dangerous what the mayor is doing.
It's irresponsible.
We know we see the traffic today in New York City,
dozens of head of states in town,
instead of taking care of the security of the well-being of the visitors
and the veterans of New York, is inciting against the Israeli prime minister.
But, you know, we are not surprised.
He supported Hamas.
He sent up officials from the city council
to meet with the representative of Iran.
It's shameful.
If someone should be arrested, Mayor Mamedani
should be arrested for his behavior.
Prime Minister Netanyahu will come here on Thursday,
will speak in the General Assembly,
and the only thing the mayor can do
is listen to the word of the prime minister.
Well, if I were to make a prediction,
I would predict that neither one of them gets arrested,
but that's just me.
You saw the president in his speech
to the General Assembly saying that he's got a big decision to make.
Let's just reprise that for our audience.
I have a big decision to make.
Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create
a far greater country than it ever was before?
Maybe one of the greatest in the Middle East or even the world?
Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly,
never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again.
He also said, do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future
greatness or generations?
I assume he's talking about the regime and not the country itself.
What do you think the president should do?
What an interesting assumption.
How could you do that for the regime and not the people, I wonder?
You can't.
And no, he didn't mean the regime.
He meant the people.
First of all, a very powerful speech of President Trump, a lot of moral clarity, and I want
to remind you last year when he came here, after his speech, we saw that he actually
bought the ceasefire with Hamas, the militant hostages.
So I think the Iberian should understand it's not only the declaration.
The president is serious about his intentions.
And I think the bottom line, the Iberian can choose.
Either they will negotiate with the U.S., will disarm, or they will have to face the
economical sanctions and military activity.
The world will not allow them to achieve nuclear power, the ballistic missiles, the
proxies.
We will not ignore that reality.
I find it very curious, Mr. Ambassador, that Iran is willing to try to take potshots at
U.S. naval ships in the Gulf of Oman.
It's also willing to fire on U.S. bases.
But it hasn't even tried to attack Israel for months.
Why do you think that is?
They have a very good reason for that, because we tell it very clearly.
Once we are being attacked by Iran, we will retaliate in a painful way.
And they know that we have great intelligence.
We know what the leaders are hiding. We know what they are doing. We know what they are saying.
What? Hold on.
You're telling me Israel has the capacity to end this once and for all?
And is choosing not to end it then?
Wow.
Our best ally folks
Our best ally once again
Now obviously this is fucking bullshit, but it's just like funny that he's lying like this, you know what I mean
It's funny that he chooses to lie like this, like, oh yes, we have the capacity of we are
choosing not to fight against Iran.
Bitch we're fighting your battle for you.
So what's up?
Waging your war for you my man
They I think they care about their lives the reality that if they will attack Israel
It's only a model of the days and you will get them
The president said again this morning that he believes that the Iran war will end soon after the midterm elections on November the 3rd
Do you agree with him and what do you think an end of the conflict looks like?
Well, I certainly also met many people from Iran who came to protest against the Iranian
leader speaking at the UN, and I told them that we pray for them.
They deserve a better leadership in Iran.
I think it's coming.
I think today the people in Iran realize they have to take action, but the international
community should do more.
And I see the European leaders, for example, the UK, they don't do much regarding Iran.
They only make deals with the Iranian regime. They should do more. They should support the
initiative of President Trump, support his leadership. It's so funny that the Israeli position always is
everyone should be fighting our battles except for us.
Why is the rest of the world not fighting our battles as far as in our behest?
like what can the UK do that America cannot man the fuck together we can
actually defeat this regime mr. Bassar want to ask you quickly about the Gaza
conflict because it's been thrust again into the limelight with the controversy
surrounding the Ed Sheeran tour it's really quite a sure dare that pop
culture puts a focus on this but support for Israel and the conflict in Gaza has
eroded since October the 7th. Right after October the 7th, it was 68% of people in the
United States supported Israel in the conflict versus 18% for the Palestinians. Now support
for Israel is down to 48%. And my question is, what could Israel do to swiftly wrap up
this conflict and try to get some...
the most favorable poll they could find. Also, rebuilding underwis- also was really
funny is that it's because of Danny Denon and others that came before him. That's
unironically part of the issue. Because these guys are, one, insanely bloody, they're monstrous,
and then two, they're arrogant.
in Gaza in a way that provides security for both sides.
We definitely want to move on.
We have no desire to stay in Gaza or to rule Gaza, but the true of the matter is that the
main issue, the disarmament of Hamas, you know, I listened to many leaders, Erdogan
and others, they all blamed Israel, but they never mentioned Hamas.
We cannot allow Hamas to stay in power in Gaza.
If you want to see reconstruction and a better future for the people of Gaza, Hamas must
be out of the game.
So once this issue is being dealt, either through the international community, the Board
of Police or the IDF, then we can move on and speak about the reconstruction of Gaza.
Ambassador Denan, it's always good to spend time with you.
Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule today.
Appreciate it.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.

Shortly before we sat down, you were meeting with the president and you had a press availability
and so we were able to see you and monitor closely.
It looks like the president is on his best behavior when he's around you.
He is dignified, polite, speaks gently and of substance.
It seems like he quite likes you.
It's quite a rare thing for a leader to have that kind of encounter with his president.
So I just want to know whether you have a trick, whether you have a sort of a way of
dealing with him.
What do you talk about of substance behind closed doors?
Well, I think of the many differences of opinion the president and I have.
We have one thing that brings us together, which is the love of New York City.
And we are both New Yorkers.
And what I focus on in those conversations with the president is how we can make life
better for the people who call the city their home.
And so today, when we sat down for that meeting at Gracie Manning, he also loves building
shit, dude.
Like it's like a cheat code.
Donald Trump loves building shit.
he loves getting recognition for building shit.
That's it.
Like that's the cheat code.
He just keeps farming that need over and over again
and making it work for him.
Fox News Commons are cooking Neniyaho.
Meanwhile, UN General Assembly delegates and mass walked out.
My visit to Holocaust Museum as a kid,
I decided I could never hold my tongue about atrocity.
Honest eyes, always recognize atrocious actions.
Fox, your lies aren't working anymore.
All these comments would be deleted.
And will be replaced by the bots in the next two hours.
By the way, this goes back to my main point about Trump.
In my mind, I think we can get Trump to push for Medicare for all by calling it Trump care
and saying it would be far superior to what Barack Obama was able to build.
You'll be able to destroy Barack Obama's legacy by implementing Trump care.
And everyone will love you and, you know.
Like you will be history, you'll be remembered as one of the historical figures of American politics.
I swear, if there were motherfuckers in Trump's ear pushing that, it could work.
i'm not kidding
i'm not even kidding good
i mean
the obviously the forces would still destroy him before he got anything
like that done but
i mean he's already have where they're he did the route of med bed shit
but what do you all think med beds are bro it's literally medicare for all
but only delivered in the form of a fantasy right
So we already know that his base wants it.
There were a number of things that I wanted to bring up
to the president.
We spoke about Sunnyside Yard,
the potential for building 12,000 new homes in a city
where a lack of housing is the number one driver
of the cost of living crisis.
We spoke, as you heard the president say,
about the importance of providing stability
to Haitian New Yorkers.
And as the president said, I feel very strongly about this.
I brought this up and I did so
because Haitian New Yorkers are every bit a part of this city as myself and
and those who work in City Hall and that I've heard about this not just from
them but also from developers, from hospital executives, from leaders of the
industry that power our city's economy about their concern about the lack of
stability in their lives. And you're basically referring directly to the TPS,
the protection for the Haitians and others, which has been annulled and they
are in the deportation way.
For many on the outside, it looks
like a brutal policy from the White House, the deportations,
the hounding of anybody who looks a different color,
whether they happen to have their papers or not.
And I wonder, how does he engage on that particular human
issue when you as the mayor of the city, which is so diverse,
talk to him about it?
Well, what I appreciate is that in that conversation,
the president not only heard me, but it's
clearly considering what it is that I said.
And it's of immense importance to the city at large.
And that's why it is something that I've spoken
to the president about over the phone,
I've spoken to him about in person as we did today.
And whether it is TPS for Haitian New Yorkers
or it is Sunnyside Yard,
the conversation always comes back
to what are the things New Yorkers need.
And as I said over the course of the campaign,
and even while I've been in office as the mayor,
that I'm willing to speak to anyone and everyone
who has the ability to deliver for New Yorkers.
And we know that President Trump has that ability,
also has that interest.
I just wondered if you thought that you might get
to this working relationship when he was calling you,
you know, a lunatic radical,
probably a communist during the campaign.
You were calling him a fascist amongst other things.
Things have changed.
Well, I think we've both said that we'd be willing
to have a conversation if it could benefit
the people of the city.
And to me, you can hold very disparate opinions
and also be able to sit down,
because that is what this work demands of us.
If I was only willing to speak with people
who agreed with me all the time,
I would be sitting at home looking in a mirror.
Seen his glory at Pasadena,
who's covered Memdani since well before he was even mayor,
is with us now.
Look, the evolution of his relationship with Trump
is so interesting.
And this meeting yesterday was so interesting.
So what do we learn from it and what after?
Yeah, I think the ongoing question with these meetings
is, one, are they going to keep happening?
And from the beginning, we've been wondering,
you know, why is the mayor going to do this?
Why will he continue to do this?
And why is it making political sense for him,
considering how politically opposed
Trump and Mamdani are, right?
But when you talk to the mayor about that,
he sees it as nothing but a win.
And yet again, yesterday, we saw another meeting
that was surprisingly friendly.
We even got an impromptu press conference
between the two of them sharing a podium at the end,
we were not expecting that,
but I think it gives you a sense
of how Trump feels around the mayor.
Trump is unlikely to resist the lure of the cameras,
so we saw them both taking questions yesterday,
which was a bit of a surprise,
but for the mayor and for his people,
they see these moments as opportunities.
I wanna point out that yesterday,
what we are all really focused on
is what does Ramamani get out of this meeting,
And what we saw in the immediate aftermath
when the president was speaking alongside the mayor,
you know, he gets him to engage on things
like affordable housing here in New York City,
which may sound like small potatoes,
but you know, there's a housing crisis happening here
and across much of the country.
And here you have President Trump talking
about affordable housing, affordability,
two things that when he's not standing next to Mondani,
tries to dismiss, right? Affordability. We've heard him dismiss it in the past, certainly,
an issue that Democrats are running on in the midterm elections. So it is very interesting to
see even that sort of soft endorsement. Chatter set for later. Okay Osama, guess what? Not only
am I going to cover this, but I'm also going to cover it with the journalists who uncovered the
story in approximately 11 minutes. That's right. In 11 minutes, I will have one of the reporters
who conducted this incredibly important
investigative report. It will be here in person in the flesh.
Alongside friend of the show Noah Cullwin
Ask and you shall receive my friend
How does Zoran do this in the same trigger check nose doing his fucking job without our fucking pig president who spends all day rolling in his own field I
Mean, he's very good at look man. Look. He's very good at making people feel special
He's very good at at managing people. Okay?
I've seen it. I've seen it firsthand. I've seen it firsthand, experiencing it
personally, experiencing others in the vicinity, experience it. He's very good.
He is a generational talent. Okay? He is. And we're seeing the impact of that
generational or a generational talent on Donald Trump. He knows what Trump's instincts are.
He knows what moves Trump. He knows that Trump loves being in front of the cameras, for example.
It was an audible call to bring Trump in front of the cameras, including in front of CNN,
now and political. He went to them directly. That was a big W. That's a win-win. He knows
that Donald Trump, he knows that Donald Trump can't, he knows that Donald Trump, when he
he sees the cameras he's gonna speak. Audacious not audible? No, he called an audible. That's
a sport term, megafaunix. As in it was on the spot. Dummy. You're a god damn nerd. You
that? An audible means like it was a last second call. What the fuck? Why is my nose
bleeding? Yeah, you're not a sports nerd. Yeah, remember when you lost your VIP because
you didn't show up to the San Francisco fear and podcast? Yeah, you're a goddamn audio
nerd, which is worse. Is this why he's no longer VIP? No, he lost his VIP status because
he didn't come to the San Francisco Fear End podcast appearance because he was working
out. Okay, not coming back for another week again. That's crazy.
Yes. I removed his badge. Megaphonics, prominent Jewish chatter, had his badge removed, his
very important person status revoked in an act of vile anti-semitism in the community.
I've never seen him at the San Francisco canvases anymore either.
Yeah, he's running away, dude.
He's a wife guy.
You can break.
About what New York City needs and hearing him say he wants to help New York.
Yeah.
Look, I mean, he's talking about things that Republicans, Republicans wish he would talk
about more.
And it's Mandani.
He's getting him to do it.
I can see what Mandani gets out of it.
You hear from a lot of Republicans, though, they're not quite so sure it helps the Republican
brand heading into a midterm election where they're going after what they call socialism.
Gloria Pasmino, fascinating to see.
Thank you very much.
Is this bromance still on between the President and the Mayor of New York?
The two met behind closed doors at Gracie Mansion in New York City yesterday.
They discussed a number of issues, including safety of immigrants, affordability, and building
a better New York.
Now, this is the third time they've met since Bondani won election in November, but it's
the first on the Mayor's turf.
Each time the President and I speak, it is about the same topics.
How to improve the lives of New Yorkers, and how to use the power of government to take
on the cost of living crisis, to grow our economy.
I certainly hope you-
Zoran is like 5'10", by the way, which means Donald Trump must also be fucking 5'10".
It's shocking.
It will be a great mayor.
You have to understand, I want what's good for New York, I want what's good for the
country, so if I had a choice of having him be a bad mayor or horrible mayor, I don't
want that.
be a great mayor and he certainly got potential, got great potential.
Group chat is back, Megan McCain saying, why do Trump and Mondani have a bromance?
What purpose does it serve for either of them?
Well, I don't have anything to say about her comments, but I do think it's a good thing.
Yeah, look, 80% of the country is not an expected thing, so we have a lot of questions.
I think it does go down to one thing.
I think the president definitely respects him because of how he won.
He won kind of on this like groundswell when he didn't have really any money at the beginning.
It's kind of a Trump one in 2016.
But also they both do care about New York and I feel at the end of the day the president
likes throwing everybody in this like curve that he does get along with him.
Laura Lumer of course, what a surprise, is pissed off, says we work so hard to combat
the radical left in the anti-American Islamic jihadists who work to destroy our country
every day and for what?
So they can be rewarded.
There is never going to be any accountability.
I realize that today we will never see it.
I'm reading this not because it's a good idea to read Laura Lumbertweets, but because
she is saying something that you hear very frequently, which is, if we're messaging that
these are jihadists, you cannot pal around with them.
Right.
She was just demanding that Moundani not show up for September 11.
I think the mayor is playing the president like a fiddle here.
My only question is like, when there have been these bromances, when somebody is sucking
up to Trump, when has that ended well for the person?
Why do you see it as sucking up?
Well, because it's clear that the way to Trump's heart is to flatter him.
So these are closed-door meetings.
And today it was giving him a microphone that had no access to one.
Right.
He borrowed the airtime basic.
Right.
lost the pool surrounding him, but Mamdani still has to do that. But no, it's pretty
clear that his tool is flattering what Mamdani is getting is, first of all, the president
is not using executive power against New York, and maybe he's going to get billions of dollars
to help with a pet real estate project. It just seems to me that these things work for
while and then they I have to I have to fix the uh the the mic situation
hold on oh shit no it's here too
all right do you think he's second sorry check I know you want to go but
I don't necessarily see the mayor sucking up to the president.
I think that he's not, I think he's very careful about what he says publicly of why
he's meeting with the president.
Let's be clear of that.
And you've said this, Trump's a New York guy.
He knows New York.
And every piece of government y'all at home is controlled by the Democrats.
So if this president wants to get anything done, he has to start with the head of the
Democratic Party there, which is Mondani, which is not a bad thing.
I think if you look at what's happening with the politics of the midterms, this is actually
real and this is the Democrat given Donald Trump credit is that Mondan is the new shiny
object of us Democrats.
We're like six year old girls playing soccer.
We can only chase one ball in a time and everybody's chasing that ball and he is that shiny object.
So it's good politics for him.
Okay, Mayor Mondan a soccer ball.
As you know, there's a lot of worry and fear.
Yeah.
Um, okay.
Yeah, okay, so I need to fix this microphone, and I don't know how to do it
Because it's a newer one that I normally don't use
So hopefully I'll be able to do it
Yeah, no, I do everything by myself is fucked up, I know
Disable noise cancellation
How the fuck do I
Okay, there's audio on here and the audio levels are high, but the audio levels, weirdly
enough are not high when it comes to how you hear them.
you
you
Okay, fuck it. We're just gonna go with this microphone and hopefully the noise gate
cancellation will be sufficient even though I highly doubt it will be.
Okay, let's see.
All right, noise gate is deactivated, noise gate is deactivated, crank up the gain a little
bit.
Oh, baby.
And then they'll be able to hear everything we say.
Nice.
And then, fuck it, that's how we're going to do it.
Okay.
Let me...
Yes, we'll pull this one up.
Oh, it's not even over yet.
We still got the issues with the chairs, even though I asked for...
I asked for chairs. We got that problem still. Okay, we'll put the, and this the,
this can't fall, so watch out. Everything is, everything hinges on, and this is all entirely,
yes, it's rigged together in the dumbest way possible. Here we go.
Yeah, yeah, get in there.
Let me go this way.
Get in there, okay.
Boom.
It should be fine.
All right, I'm once again going to blame David
for all of my troubleshooting problems,
because guess what?
We used to have a super simple microphone, right?
I used to have the regular roadcaster mics,
and we would just like connect them to,
like, the auxiliary cord, I'd be able to connect them.
and he was like, no, you should use these DGI's instead,
which are unbelievably complicated for no fucking reason.
This is what happens when you have a tech guy
who's like constantly, constantly making things worse.
Okay.
But he's not here, so.
Brutal for the tech guy.
Yeah, brutal for the tech guy, always.
But anyway, all right, we have,
this is probably very different from your CNN interview.
Yeah, it's really different.
Yeah, much better, much better overall.
First of all, before we get started,
I would love for you to introduce yourself to the audience.
Sure.
Noah Colwin is here as well.
He needs no introduction, you already know.
Hi, I'm William.
I'm an investigative reporter at ProPublica.
I just did a story about Susan Collins
and the fact that the FBI was examining her relationship
with a Hawaiian defense contractor.
That guy told the FBI that he essentially exchanged campaign contributions in a variety
of complicated methods in order to get government contracts.
A detail that hasn't really been picked up is he also told the FBI, he alleged that there
was no value in the contracts that he did.
He told the story of a circular method of making campaign contributions, getting government
contracts and then using that money they got from the government to continue to
make campaign contributions. Well one thing that I was also like your story
is actually like it's kind of two stories in one right because the first
story is what you just said which is about how Susan Collins has been
implicated in essentially like a quid pro quo bribery public corruption bribery
scheme and then the second part of your story is about what happened when Donald
Trump became president for the second time. Yeah, yeah. So there's this unit at the FBI
called CR 15 and CR 15 is based out of the Washington field office. And then there's
also this unit at the DOJ, which is called the public integrity section. And these are
the people who specialize in investigating public officials for bribery. And it's actually
really hard to do. The Supreme Court has narrowed the definition of bribery. And there's all
All these constraints that come in when you're investigating public officials.
But these agents were convinced that they were onto something.
And they went to Hawaii twice to interview this guy named Martin Cowell, who was the
head of this defense contractor who met Susan Collins many times.
And he gave them a detailed confession in which he said he was at the top of a pay-to-play
scheme that involved many senators and that Collins was actually his most
important patron. Now why was Collins so important? Yeah Collins was important
because of her role on the Senate Appropriations Committee and you know
interestingly like this is part of Collins pitch as to why she should be
reelected. At the time all this went down she was a senior member. She knows how to
allocate funds. Right exactly she says essentially that she can bring home
the bacon, right? And she does have that ability. Well, technically, she does.
Technically, she is also a manor. So technically, if she's getting $150,000
in a check being written out to a fund that she's created, wouldn't you say
that that's bringing home the bacon? But this time, her pockets are the bacon.
Or her pockets are where the holy... Well, in this case, her campaign was getting these
contributions in such a dramatically sketchy way, so as to suggest that the
motives were impure because you guys got your hands on something that reporters
you know would kill for which is an actual check for it's from I wrote this
down right here it was awesome yeah the society of young women scientists and
engineers LLC yeah yeah which you know like is is like just what's the story
behind this check specifically and why is it like you know why isn't this is a
as special as I seem to think it is.
So the story is like the relationship,
you know, this is all ledged by cow, right?
Like the relationship with Collins was already worked.
They had the head of the company,
other senior officials of the company
make kind of traditional max out donations
to the company in exchange for contracts.
And then they had a further conversation
with the super PAC and thought,
hey, maybe we could get more contracts
if we gave more money.
But it's illegal for defense contractors
to make political campaign contributions.
So what they did was they met with this guy named Scott Reed,
who was the head of the pro-colon super PAC.
And according to how they hatched out this plan
where they would use an LLC as shell company,
they decided to call it the Society of Young Women Sciences
and Engineers and take $150,000 of company money,
which is essentially taxpayer money, right?
Like all of this comes from government contracts
and funnel it to her super PAC.
And like a week after they did this,
we got an email that says someone else who worked at the PAC
said, what's Martin Cowell's phone number?
Because Susan Collins wants to call him and thank him.
Yeah, so simply put, Susan Collins at the Appropriations
Committee is handing $30 million, $40 million
at a time to this company.
And then the company is allocating $150,000 of that
and sending it back to a PAC that they designed specifically
for Susan Collins's reelection.
Not the pack.
They set up the shell company to send money to the pack.
Oh, yeah.
And the pack is where things get kind of interesting
because this guy Reed,
this is not the only such sort of scandal
that he's been implicated in.
And moreover, like Collins's larger orbit,
in particular her husband,
have also been implicated in this kind of corrupt
pay-for-play style of dealing.
There have been allegations.
It should be said that I don't believe
that there have been, as far as I know,
There haven't been any inquiries that have actually
established like faxes viewed by like a, you know, by,
like as far as it's gone is that the FBI was recommended
to investigate by a public corruption unit,
but you know, it's never made it to a court of law.
How did that not happen?
Given all of the evidence that's emerged
and all of the smoke, you know, like why has nobody
been able to channel that fire?
Yeah, I mean, it's because the agents were pushed out
as part of the political purge.
You know, one of the agents who,
do we want this chair?
Yeah, let's get this chair.
Yeah.
And you've heard your chair if you want.
Yeah, sure, sure.
More comfortable chair.
Exactly.
Sorry about that.
No worries at all.
Okay, there we go.
We're slowly but surely.
Slowly but surely.
Yeah, now it looks a little.
Take that, Abby Phillip.
I don't know who you, I don't know who.
I was on the jake tapper.
Oh, so you were talking about the purge.
Oh, God.
Yeah, so one of the agents actually
worked on the special counsel investigation
into Trump himself, was fired, is now suing the FBI.
And another was pushed out in serious circumstances.
You know, basically, the Department of Justice
and the FBI has decided to just move away
from doing these sorts of investigations.
Like, the unit at the DRJ called PIN
basically collapsed after the Eric Adams deal like all these people resigned and discussed and so
Like you know a big question like the story begs is like who is investigating this anymore like who is
Anyone doing this? I personally would love to know like it doesn't seem like many are is there is there a through line here with
Tom Homan story as well because like Tom Homan was also being investigated by the FBI
$50,000 in in a paper bag was delivered to him and then that kind of went nowhere as well
Is this a part of the similar is this part of a similar unit?
Absolutely, it's I'm not sure if the units are the same
I don't know the specifics of that case, but it just speaks to this broader
Polarization of these agents and I would argue the thing with the Collins case that makes it somewhat distinct
And you know because it's not just homins by the way
It's in the is knee deep in that stuff, right? Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski
Are in huge trouble and with a lot of seemingly substantiated and read pretty rigorously
documented allegations of all the ways they've spent money or have self-doubt.
I think in the case of Collins though, she's an elected official. She's not a
political appointee. She, even if you pass that a confirmation, I think the idea
of elected officials using their office for this kind of direct enrichment, you
know, there is a perception that it is unusual. But I think part of what
William has established here that is to me at least a little frightening is the
idea that, alright, this whole scandal, like how, coming forward and talking about this,
this happened like seven years ago.
This is describing activity almost a decade ago, and the Trump purge was, you know, again
to the events of the last two years, but what has happened is you're getting at it, is that
in the last seven, eight years, the amount of resources dedicated to investing public
corruption, as you know, like the number of these resources has dwindled dramatically.
There's no political appetite for this, meaning that if you were, let's say you did
to have the resources, you didn't have an office
within the DOJ to pursue this kind of thing,
or even stuff within like a red state, state AG's office,
the political blowback that you get is so substantial
and so swift, so immediate that you,
like there's no incentive to pursue this,
which then as you're suggesting is,
all right, well, how widespread
might this problem actually be?
And that gets to something that was at the very tail end
of your article, which is a bit of a spoiler,
but I think is worth suggesting,
which is about another senator.
Yeah. So we kind of do a cliffhanger at the bottom of our article where we talk
about the FBI was looking at a steak dinner that this defense contractor,
Martin Cow, had with Lindsey Graham. And as we mentioned in our story,
this is the first in a series of stories that we're going to do.
And what's interesting is like Martin gave the FBI agents a 50 page document
where he detailed his interactions with many members of Congress to varying
degrees of success, as well as other lobbyists that were essential to his scheme.
So there's more to come and like frankly with Collins it's just
crafting the surface. Would you say that this is I mean considering that there
have been Democrats that sit on the Appropriations Committee as well, would you
say that there is bipartisanship in terms of the corruption as well in your
investigations? Yes. The document that Cal gave to investigators also mentioned
and Democratic senators.
There are some names on there.
I don't know if any of them have been revealed.
Well, so there are public donation records
of the donations that Cal and other Navitech executives
have made.
Now, that doesn't necessarily even
suggest wrongdoing, right?
Like, in this case, we kind of show a more complicated scheme
that goes beyond maxed out donations.
But I would just say, stay tuned.
We're still reporting on this.
you know one other thing that i thought was kind of interesting your story that
hinted at was about like a larger historical context and so navitech's
background it's a hawaiian company
and hawaii is a state that has relative to its population
uh... like other states in new england main is similar to this bernie sanders
is vermont is similar relative to the state populations they receive a
disproportionate amount
of military contracting spending
and so in the case of hawaii
the late senator daniel annouye
he was very famous
very successful the king for him and ten stevens from Alaska is another
these were guys who are legends and were elected for decades on end
not just because they were the incumbents at that advantage but because they
were quite famous and quite successful at steering
uh... boondoggles of projects and spending to their states
and you know with the paradox of course is that many of these cases is
certainly navitex
it turns out that you know there probably wasn't really much advantage to the
state
in any of these projects
certainly there may have been to the campaign coffers of these uh... elected
officials
but i thought it was very interesting because i thought that this uh... case
was just sort of
you know it's uh... it was a reminder
of how rich and how strong you know defense contracting in particular is a
right for this with this kind of corruption in particular
and how it goes back such a long time
and the company before martin cowes in charge had a really close relationship
with this guy daniel anyway
the founder of the company steven louis their family was extremely close and we
found op-eds from like the 90s where essentially they were saying you know
Congress didn't even know about our company and so anyway put us on the map
right and and also in that era I mean that's when you could just do an ear
mark right like as someone on the Appropriations Committee a senator you
could essentially say I'm designating this money for this company supposedly
we got away with earmarks because they're so right for abuse but also what
we show in this story is like you know the Collins office would then go and
speak to the Navy and make sure that money that got appropriated in defense spending
bills for like a specific research project also then went to the company that had donated
to her.
And this is in general, I would say, part of MLU and a structure of industry and government,
sort of this military industrial nexus that William has been reporting on for many, many
years, where part of the way the incentives work is that why would the Navy care so much
of what Susan Collins says. She's just a senator, even if she's on the Appropriations Committee,
yeah, that gives her some clout. But theoretically, the Navy should just want
the best gear, the best stuff that they're going to get to do the job the best they can.
But the reality is, as many people viewing may suspect, cynical and not cynical, it's just common
sense. In actuality, there are these perversive senators. Why? Because the senator's office has
a lot, you know, as a, a, a, a, letters of recommendation and commendation and the kind
of political support they can offer individuals in the Navy bureaucracy, people who want
to get jobs in the private sector once they leave public sector employment, not rocking
the boat in terms of these kinds of appropriations processes as they think of it. They don't
think of it as bribery or corruption, obviously, but not rocking the boat in terms of this
appropriation. I mean, everybody, there are very powerful sets of incentives for people
to just kind of get along and go along.
Well, I have a question here as well.
What do we, as the, what do we as emerities get as a part of this bargain?
Are they getting any new technology?
Is there anything that is, where is the $40 million going to?
Like, what were the results of that, what did the $40 million purchase?
One of the most revealing parts of reporting on this story was I actually flew to Hawaii
and I knocked on the door of this guy named Eric Schiff, who was an executive at the company
who worked there for 30 years and he went,
you know, we used to joke that our product
was engineers looking at eyeball at computer screens
and updated PowerPoint presentations, right?
And so what Cal told the FBI was that their work
was worthless, like the stuff they were doing
wasn't that useful.
And we also got internal company documents
where they talked about kind of thriving
in the valley of death, where they do this research,
but it never actually becomes a product.
And under Cal's reign, they never actually made a product
that the Navy bought, and yet they're
able to continually do this research that
has varying reviews on its efficacy.
OK, so a short answer would be no.
That's incredible.
I mean, look, I am somewhat familiar with this process
a little bit.
There's obviously a lot of defense bloke.
We talk about American military readiness
and how much it suffered as a consequence of military budgets
growing and the American military not really receiving a lot of return on the initial investment.
One byproduct of this, of course, has been American military primacy being destroyed
at the Strait of Hormuz. Would you say that incidents like this, especially if they're
much more commonplace, I know you're not supposed to make a value judgment here, but would you
say that that is contributing to American military readiness?
I mean it's this story is like so obviously an example of waste right like you know even if they
did employ talented engineers which I'm sure some of them were they they never made a product that
the Navy used and you know the guy who sold Martin the company the founder said like he hired all of
these unqualified engineers who are working on these products and so you know I would have to assume
and I thought to myself a working on the story there's probably many many nav attacks out there
playing similar sorts of games like this.
And there's also a lot of Navitech's that don't necessarily think they're Navitech's, you know,
a lot of companies and a lot of entities that, like, again, they may earnestly believe and they may, you know,
claim to have evidence that actually they're developing products that are high-efficacy,
that are worth the amount of money, but in reality just aren't,
because an enormous amount of military R&D ends up like Navitech,
even if it's as less blatantly fraudulent as Navitech's structure, you know, with the whole lobby racket.
And look, I would just go back to add that this is endemic to defense contracting.
Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, all of the major defense contractors have it had
at various points major scandals over the efficacy and quality of their work.
I mean, in the 1980s, one of my favorite stories of this was Hughes Aircraft, which was a smaller
but still sort of very well regarded military contractor that came out of the Howard Hughes
Empire.
And I remember reading in magazine archives fromā
I'm so glad we brought that up.
My colleague, Jesse Covren, wrote this amazing story about military raids that published
a few weeks ago.
I would implore everyone to read this.
It's astounding.
We've covered it on the broadcast.
I'm glad.
If you ask the factory, Taxpayers funded a $533 million artillery plant that made nothing.
This is an international incident as well.
There was another...
The details are so rich in this story.
It's incredible.
And then something similar took place with, it was a NATO country that tried to like purse
a contract by way of a Turkish military, a Turkish defense contract there and they spent
like 80 million euros and then got nothing in return for it as well.
So this entire industry is built around basically scamming taxpayers because it's like there's
an unlimited well of funding because you can, I guess, justify it because it's for defense.
And yeah, there's no meaningful financial reporting structure.
What I mean by that, the traditional definition of financial reporting, accounting and auditing,
the actual trace of money flows, I mean, the Pentagon being a black box does not literally
mean that we can't actually find every dollar.
It's not like they disappear, they go across an event horizon and become permanently undiscoverable.
It's no, no, no, no, no, no, it's that there is no process.
There are a bunch of within agencies and branches, I'm sure, that joint chiefs or individual
command structures have abilities of reporting this information, but one of the things that
I think we're seeing in stories like this is about just the extent to which it's like,
yeah, there is no actual demand for financial accountability, and certainly Congress, as
we see very much evidence to your story, has less than zero interest in reining this stuff
in.
You can directly contribute to their campaign.
It's part of the business of being in Congress, especially now that, I mean, so part of what
William was talking about earlier in the Supreme Court,
making it so difficult to prove political corruption.
I mean, one of the cases that I think that, you know,
one of the ones that stunned me was at McDonald's in Virginia,
where the former governor of Virginia
was basically caught being corrupt.
He was just caught.
But his lawyers successfully argued that essentially
because like the, there wasn't like written proof
of a quid pro quo that more or less you,
McDonald could not be convicted for it,
which is what makes this Collins case so astounding
because there is-
Exactly there's certainly enough of a probable cause one of the most interesting elements in the story for me was that like
The back-and-forth communication between Collins's team and the company to be like we are doing this
Just so you know I just see me deliver you know I deliver. Yeah
Yeah, you know I should be was awesome where it's like they're talking like you know fucking like Salesforce associates
You know and this I will say like this is what just what they wrote down
You know like I as a reporter working on this story for many months was so curious about like
You know the extent of the conversations the kind of closed-door meetings that would happen between the senator themselves and
And the head of these defense contractors. I mean, I just thought that was like astounding
Is it doesn't this imply that this area is also this area of graft is also somewhat competitive
So just so they know that the wires are not cross if they're like because this it does
This creates a paper trail, a direct line of communication between both of the perpetrators.
It puts them in legal trouble, but clearly not.
But in a normal environment, this would be cause for corruption and this investigation
would continue and you might serve prison time as a consequence of this, which means
that in spite of all of that, either the people that are working at this company and also
Susan Collins and her team knew that there would never be any penalties for it because
it's so perverse, so widespread, or it also spells that it was so widespread that they
wanted to make sure that this was coming from them and not another company that they're
probably also engaging in a quick pro-pro style arrangement with.
Yes.
I mean, that is like such a key element of the story, right?
It's like getting these lobbyists who through some means have this pre-existing relationship
with the office.
we got spreadsheets from the company where they would list lobbyists and on the
staff there would be like specialty columns you know and like so these these
lobbyists have these relationships and then as you just alluded to like
getting this kind of assurance and understanding that listen like this
$150,000 donation we're making from this pack from this company that no one has
ever heard of that's from us just so you know like it's really important that you
know it's coming from us and and you know we expect that we're gonna be you
You don't want to allocate 30 million of Raytheon on an accident thinking, oh, this
new company that they created is Raytheon, Shelfron.
Well, I mean, this was APEC's bread and butter in the last, we've seen in the most recent
cycles and anything crypto and AI lobbies have also kind of similarly maneuvered where
they're disguising their donations pretty effectively through a wide, I don't think we even know
what the tip of the iceberg looks like as far as that goes with this current cycle.
One thing I was kind of curious about was in researching this, the sense that you got from
talking to people in and around the story about how much they viewed this as exceptional versus
business as usual. To me, the comparison that I actually thought reading your story
was a little bit about the Steve Ballmer Clippers Kauai Leonard thing, where essentially I do
believe that that Clippers case was like that's not something that happens
everywhere in the league like yes and some you know like a team may help like
a star player get like a car dealership sponsor or you know probably say it's
more widespread than people think though he I mean he said it's more common that
they cut these arrangements but I think like it's a testament to Pablo's
reporting that like they established like part of why that like bomber got
wrapped like this is because like the other owners perceived it as
frustrating because they're like I would be doing this too if I could well and
also I think the exceptional nature of that deal was like the price point rather
than you know giving like local that's what I need to be like hardy like that's
the thing it's similar in money so this is exceptional exactly ever that's my
question I don't know I think you would really have to examine like the extent
of the dealings of people who sit on the appropriations committee but I will say
like the NBA judgment came down as I was like kind of in the throes of finishing the story.
And I remember being struck by like the fact that the NBA was able to exert more consequences
penalties on Ballmer for breaking the rules. But this tells you something though, it's about
stakeholders here because in the case of the NBA, all of the other owners have an interest in making
sure that Steve Ballmer gets wrapped because it gets screwed because the salary cap exists to protect
the owners. So if you circumvent the salary cap, the only other people that you're hurting are
is like the class of owners. So in this case, like, you know, does general dynamics, does, you know,
does Raytheon, does RTX, or RTX, like, are they upset? Well, that, you know, like this, like, I
mean, in the sense that if there was a finite amount of money, if there was a finite amount of money
that's allocated, then yes, but there is, there's no, yeah, what we need, so what we're saying is
that we need the Pentagon to have a salary cap. Yeah. I think that's the conclusion there. Because
is like now you have a conversation with Pete Hexeth in the Trump administration demanding
$1.5 trillion like previously unheard of budgets for the Pentagon, which means that there's
always going to be extra money and extra resources allocated.
So it almost feels like this is like a known secret in Washington DC and everyone kind
of plays ball.
I wanted you to respond to Annie Clark if they haven't asked you to do so yet.
So Annie Clark is the deputy chief of staff for Senator Collins.
She didn't do the classic Collins thing and say I'm concerned, which was remarkable.
She says the seven-year-old allegations made against Senator Collins and her staff in this
piece are categorically false.
There have never been any allegations of wrongdoing by the Collins for Senator campaign, and the
campaign was never the target of the FBI investigation.
Republican took the word of someone who pled guilty to five counts of money laundering.
This is my favorite thing that people do when they're caught in a criminal conspiracy where
they go, well, the other side of the criminal conspiracy is a criminal.
Well, also, it's a criminal whose money we took up until he was revealed to be a criminal.
So it's like, I don't know how helpful that that feels.
Three counts of wire fraud, one count of bank fraud, making false submissions to the FEC.
As Martin Cowell was awaiting sentencing, he began making outlandish charges by the
cons office, deflecting blame from himself and placing it on Senator Collins, including
alleging that our office required contributions before taking meetings and engaged in extortion,
pay-for-play and bribery.
The FBI and the court obviously did not believe Cal and in 2025 he was sentenced in two separate
case to prison attempts of seven years and three years to be served concurrently as well
as an additional five years of supervised release at the end of his prison term.
It is important to note that during the Biden administration the FBI and the Department
of Justice thoroughly investigated the Navitech matter.
The Collins campaign cooperated fully with the FBI throughout the investigation producing
all the documents are requested and serving as fact witnesses in official settings.
In response to the allegations in the ProPublica piece, the FBI clearly stated that a suggestion
of wrongdoing by Senator Collins or her staff is totally false.
Yeah.
So, I mean, the Collins campaign and her office has every right to deny the allegations by
Cal, but there are some things in that statement that are just actually not true, right?
They're saying there are seven-year-old allegations at the start.
Well, the FBI was actually talking to Martin Cowell at the end of 2024.
And they had a two day long interview with him at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Honolulu,
where they asked him extensively about his dealings with Senator Collins.
Clark also says that ProPublica simply took Cowell at his word.
That's not true.
We did our own independent investigation as to the FBI.
And everything we report in our story doesn't simply rely on the word of Cowell.
it relies on thousands of pages of legal records, FBI records that we saw, interviews with company
executives, and so. And also email exchanges and a literal check. Yeah. So that I feel like that's
that kind of moves away from hearsay. And also the check was like found in a pretty like a good
governance nonprofit like spotted it because of the typo because that you know just to make sure
the kids at home see, it's the Society of Young Women Scientists. Now I don't know about you,
but that's not a plural. And missing an asset. Yeah, so it stuck out. And I think in this game,
but it also stuck out because it was this, like that too, but it was also this company that no
one had ever heard of. There was no website. There was no record of them ever doing it.
It's also, I mean, it's the Society of Young Women Scientists and Engineers.
LLC, but I think it's like, it's my favorite company. This is what I did.
And why didn't they do it in a cover-up afterwards, right?
Where they essentially was like, okay,
well let's start making real donations
to women at various universities,
and let's do it in states where we're targeting senators
for appropriations so it actually benefits us politically.
And, you know, in one of the emails we published
in the story, they kind of acknowledged that
they was like this faint-hearted effort.
They said, you know, whatever,
just a pack of getting free money.
Well, not to do gotcha journalism here,
but why do you hate women in STEM?
Specifically, one young woman scientist and engineers.
Exactly, multiple engineers, but one young woman scientist
powering the engineers.
Yeah.
Susan Collins is the young woman scientist.
Why do you not want Susan Collins to be scientists?
That's the next early version of the story.
I think one of the things that's also kind of curious
that's emerged has been,
and we were talking about it in the elevator on the way up,
is the pickup that this story has gotten.
So some of it is, you know,
the gods of journalism scoops smiling
on how when you drop a story,
the universe can provide, in this case,
it was also Rebecca Tracer's story
in New York Mag, dropping about the Troy Jackson campaign.
So people are even more upset than they would be
because of the strong sense that Jackson is blowing it
because this story is, you know, very politically explosive.
And then at the same time,
I think a lot of people, I would say, well, I mean,
the Tracer was the Tracer, oh, yeah, true,
it was a consultant.
It's the consultants that are coming in.
Yeah, correct, then closing ranks.
But to me, it just struck, so that's
like one political context.
But then also, I think, what struck me
is seeing the press you've done elsewhere,
there is an interest in the story
beyond just that political context.
Could you talk a little bit about how the pickup has gone
and why people seem to be so interested in it, I think?
Yeah, as a journalist, you try to do
stories that have an impact and reveal something about the world, but like you
never know what anyone is gonna think about the story or care. And this one I
was like you know these issues are dense, they involve campaign finance laws
and meetings at a corner bakery in DC in 2019 and the FBI investigation, but I've
been you know surprised personally by the reaction. I think people you know are
responding to the kind of extent of our findings and the way in which we've been
able to lay out how serious of an investigation this was, and the fact that investigations
like these don't really happen anymore.
Would you, I mean, I don't know how, how tap into the history of this kind of, you know,
defense bloat you are, but would you say that like this is a trend in the aftermath of the
global war on terror, where defense budgets obviously started exploding, or, I mean, there
There have been other instances similar to this in the past as well, or do you feel like
this is...
It kind of strikes me as a little more exceptional.
Like that theory could perhaps be correct.
I'm not enough of a scholar to know, but like to me it strikes me as more of a sort of kind
of classic congressional story where there's always been this controversy around earmarks.
There's always been this controversy around money that gets appropriated by individual
senators.
And you know, they kind of brought back earmarks, but they're not supposed to exist in this
And to me, this is kind of like a classic story that predates the GWA, if you will.
I agree with that also on the level of like how the earmarks thing, like there's a lot
of different parts of like American regulatory law that in the last like half century where
we make a bunch of reforms at one point and then slowly industries able to, through certain
kinds of capture and other different, you know, methods over time reconstituted stability
to do what was, you know, had just been prescribed in law.
An example that I think about, actually, which I learned about from a colleague of the Lames
of the Republic, the journalist Jesse Eisinger, is about the consultancy industry.
And how consultants, essentially an accountant and corporate auditors, were not prevented
from, were essentially not allowed to be doing the same business.
And so the big accounting firms were disallowed from being, you know, also essentially like
big consultancies.
And we passed a bunch of laws in the 2000s after Enron and the collapse of the firm,
with their Anderson to do that.
And then over the course of like 20 years,
all of those laws.
And unwinded once again.
Exactly, you know, it's just like,
they started building these businesses back up,
tailored to move around these things.
And so in the case of earmarks, as you say in the story,
it used to be like, oh, we'll have these specific line item
earmarks, that's gone.
So now it's you instead earmark money
for a large opaque process.
And then once the bill is passed,
or in the process of passing the bill,
within that like opaque thing,
you're able to get the preferred, you know, like, essential, you know, like earmarking
a different name or whatever out the door.
Some people call them phone marks because you just talk about it on the phone and steer
the money to a specific company.
Well, so now it gets to this question, right, of like how when you say it goes back and
it's part of this other thing, I guess the thing where it converges with something new
is about Trump and how essentially even when you had, you know, a case like the Collins
one and with Navitech where a bright line thing has been revealed, it could go further.
It could become the basis of an abscam.
Google that if you've never heard of it, an abscam-style scandal that could ensnare a
bunch of elected officials.
And instead, it's smothered in the crib.
Why?
I think my interpretation of the facts in your article is that I'm reminded of the Trump
One White House counsel, Donald McGahn, and now he had one job in his life, in his Trump
one life, for which he was richly rewarded. But that job was to get as many judges nominated
as possible. His job was to press the Republican partisan political advantage, and his office
to do that was within the White House Council. And so now, you know, Susan Collins is a must-win
Senate seat. You know, that is, if the Republican majority in the Senate is going to hold on,
like Susan Collins has to stay there, and it can only be Susan Collins, because when
she ages out of that seat at whatever point that is, you know, she will probably not be
will be replaced by as reliable a Republican and so maybe you know it
may be that like you know when we think about like why would there be
political pressure applied to the FBI in this case it's not just about
Congress protecting its own or you know the Trump administration trying to set
an agenda for corruption it's also the very specific political context of
Susan Collins is an extremely valuable team player for the Republicans more
so perhaps than any other elected official relative to the state she
represents as evidenced by the fact that Donald Trump is also no longer
shitting on her, even though he spent basically the entirety of Trump one doing just that
as her, you know, fake concern stick was enough to draw the ire of Trump and now Trump is
showing unconditional support.
One question I have is, what level of involvement or lack thereof did the Biden DOJ have on
this?
Because it feels like this was a long going, because this is such a long standing investigation
is comprehensive and yet it does feel like most of this was not smothered into crib under
the Trump administration but also kind of slowed down under the Biden leadership as
well, which then of course suggests that this is a bipartisan issue as well.
Did you get that from the reporting?
I have no reporting to suggest and don't think there is any evidence of political involvement
during the Biden administration in this case.
From everything I know and everyone I've spoken to,
this case was proceeding along normally.
And the main reason that it went away
was because the agents who worked on it for years
were pushed out of the government.
Okay, and no one else obviously picked up the...
I think it's hard, right?
Like, you're an FBI agent, you need a prosecutor.
The prosecutors who specialize that are all gone, right?
They all quit and discuss,
like who are you gonna bring this case to?
You've been developing this case for many, many years
and suddenly the agents who have been doing it are gone,
you're already stretched thin as it is.
And so, you know, our reporting is we're saying the story,
the case is now dead.
Would you say that this is the best time
to do quit pro quo corruption,
considering that there are no prosecutors?
It's like, it's like, it's time to,
it's time to do a bank run.
There's no, there's no police.
I mean, especially for federal, like for,
for congressional people in the US Congress, right?
Like there may be some enforcement at state levels, right?
Like that may exist, but like, you know,
where are the people who are,
I mean, that's the whole genesis of our story is like,
there was these purges in the specialized units
that investigate this stuff.
And so we asked ourselves like,
okay, well, what were they working on
when they all got fired and quit?
And like this is an answer to that question.
Yes, Will is saying put your hand in the cash register.
If you are one of the many senators
who tune into the broadcast,
This is your opportunity to strike, okay?
You're the ones in a lifetime opportunity.
What do you predict the backlash from this will be?
I mean, this is, now I'm just asking you questions.
We've moved beyond the-
Sure, no, it's fine.
Now I'm asking you silly questions.
No, no, it's fine.
I mean, it's already become sort of an issue
that both campaigns are fundraising off of.
For one thing, I've been chore jacksonist sending out
text about it, Susan Collins sent out,
or her campaign sent out an email
talking about a kind of coordinated
this attack today. And so, you know, that's part of what was interesting about doing this story is
because, like, it gets to this argument that Collins makes as to why she should be re-elected.
Having this position as the chair of the Appropriations Committee is, like her core argument,
she brings home the Bacon for Man. Now, Will, I want to give you an exclusive chance to respond to
John Bresenhan's reporting about how Collins, quote, sees the story as a plant by Democrats
in the midst of a tight campaign.
Will, is this story a democratic plan?
It's not.
And we have more reporting coming on members of Congress
on both sides of the aisle.
Yeah.
Colin says, this was investigated by the Biden Justice
Department in the FBI in 2021.
The Biden Justice Department found there was no wrong doing
by anyone on my campaign staff, office or me.
This is absolutely outrageous.
So there is an element of that.
It's clearly a political hit job.
So there is an element of that in your reporting as well.
But like what do you say to that chart specifically saying that the the like is it because the investigation just simply did not continue
So she's taking advantage of that or or did the findings even lead to no wrong doing
From like are they just making this up the investigation was ongoing
Yeah, and like as I've said the reason it went away is because they just are no longer there, right?
and so
You know, they they I think they've said before in previous statements that this was all resolved in 2021
I mean, that's just simply not true
They were interviewing Martin Cowell about his relationship with Susan Collins in late 2024
and so
You know, like the agents were still very clearly interested about Cal's dealings with Collins
Did you guys go after any of the any of the former prosecutors or agents that were involved?
We talk about our sourcing in the story.
We talk about how we conducted interviews with people who are familiar with the investigations.
And, you know, we worked on this story for a long time.
We called a lot of people, you know.
Oh, and to Hawaii.
That's right.
I did a reporting trip to Hawaii, which is, you know, what's fascinating.
I mean, it was there that I spoke to this guy, Eric Schiff, who was an executive at
the company for 31 years, who said, who told me, I think that's using Collins.
You can get access to zoos and Collins, and essentially that this play that they were
doing was working well for them and would have continued to work if Martin hadn't gotten
caught.
That's a quote that's in the story.
Yeah.
Collins also says she first heard about the press conference from the University of Maine,
blaming the University of Maine saying he was doing research for the Navy.
It has to do with 3D printing to produce boats.
Collins then also blamed Chuck Schumer and the Democrats for the ProPublica.
Okay, one other question. This is the most important question. I have to ask you. Is it pro-publica or pro-publica pro-publica?
Why does Amy?
Amy give me to say pro-publica Amy can call it however she wants. That's how I
Yeah, no, but you've noticed that
It's obvious if you look at pro-publica it's obvious if you look at the tactics the Chuck Schumer always uses look
I will I will say that like this is a
I'll say what William can't, that's the remark of a loser.
I don't think that you denigrate, I don't think that you call your opponents partisan
instruments if you're that confident.
There's nothing funnier to me than assuming that Chuck Schumer is competent enough to
be able to put together a comprehensive investigation in any meaningful capacity.
Never mind.
I'll just say, that's just not how I'm reporting.
No, it's not how reporting works, it's also like, even if, and I also, and also I don't
I don't think Susan Collins, I don't think Annie Clark believes this.
I think that they're saying it because they know that it's an effective line.
And again, I don't want to put William in the position of having to respond to this
further because I think that it's ridiculous.
But the one thing I do think that is interesting in that is that it does seem like she clearly
understands that this is a political vulnerability and that she's going to have to find a bunch
of different ways to distance herself from Trump to get over it.
This will definitely carry over until the end of the one thing I was curious about was the
Navitech in like the grand scheme of defense contracting, right? It's not a huge player. No, it's it's a bit player
Yeah, and one of the things that it really reminded me of about the world of defense contracting is that essentially there's an extremely long tail
There are all of these different companies that are you know even contracted that are you know subcontractors in essence at different points of
The really large ones and so on but you've got all these different small companies
And I was curious about like who is there that is more or less like regulating the efficacy of like all of the different firms
That are doing this because at some point like the list of contracted entities that are you know also even have lobbyists and so on
I mean, I just it's it's I wouldn't even know how to begin to like you know start to sort that out. It's like a mind-bending question
Yeah, I don't know either. Yeah. Oh my god. I thought you were being serious. Yeah, or someone says like this is what they were printing for the Navy
It's called Benches. It's not
Happy 11th birthday, Ben.
That would be really funny, though.
Yeah, they're just making these.
Actually, this isn't the new Andrew thing.
Also, this is not even true because they made zero products
from your reporting.
This is an actual product.
Well, the University of Maine thing,
was there an association with the University of Maine?
Yes.
So this was part of the play, as it was described to us,
like utilizing the relationships with universities
that are already close to senators.
And so like a key part of their play in multiple states
beyond Maine was partnering with universities
that have preexisting relationships with senators.
I would love to know more about that.
If anyone out there has a tip,
that's a really interesting angle of the story.
It just feels like every aspect of the American government
is set up for graft, like pure graft,
and there's no productive output.
Like we have so many resources
and they're just constantly on this endless cycle
with pieces of it breaking off and falling
into politician pockets and also CEOs.
Cause this guy, Cal, like he, I mean,
he was taking a lot of these resources and just...
He lived a lavish life.
Yeah, shoveling it back into his pockets, right?
Yeah, two florist.
He had a multimillion dollar mansion in Hawaii.
He had international properties.
you know, he did really well as the CEO of this company.
Yeah.
Well, thank you so much for coming on.
Thank you for having me.
I really appreciate it.
I asked you the important question,
is it pro-publica or pro-publica?
I'm glad we got to the bottom of that.
That's why I wanted you to come on and talk.
Yeah, this was wonderful.
Keep up the great work.
I look forward to reading more of the investigations
that you guys put out there, led by Chuck Schumer.
I'm kidding.
That's not real.
That's not, that's not a joke, but yeah.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it.
All right, perfect.
All right, pleasure.
Okay, with him.
Oh, you're okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bye, Chad.
I will.
Good, checks me when you're done.
All right.
Thank you so much.
Of course.
All right.
You want to move this?
No, it's fine.
Okay.
Don't worry about it.
All right, bye guys.
Bye, Chad.
I am going to turn on the noise gate again, okay, no is a friend and he's supposed to
stay no he wanted to he wanted to really get this story out there and what a treat it was
you know first jake tapper and then jake tapper's mortal enemy
disguise at a day
this guy williams is uh... had a day
why are you guys constantly posting eric adam's is
but yeah i got it man i saw it i i'd literally if
i needed one of the chatters who kept spamming this
While I was interviewing the dude, yes,
Piker Broadcasting Service is independent media,
just like ProPublica is.
Please support the People's Broadcasting Service,

What's the scary box? What's in the scary box behind you? Do you mean above my head up there as a speaker?
Yes, Eric Adams is meat. Do you guys want to see? Here it is.
Here it is.
Is it pronounced piker or peaker?
It's pecker.
Technically it's pecker.

Eric Adams trying to compete with my meat pig. He's trying
Yeah, I could not believe this fucking story man, it is I mean, it's it's in many respects the most believable
story of all time. It's something that we talk about all the time, but you rarely ever get to see it in full display. 4K, 4K, non-pixelated, all details, including email correspondence between the company, the front organization that they created, the front LLC that they created, and the pack that they're funneling the money into.
and also direct correspondence between, technically there is also a direct
correspondence between the campaign and the the company that's receiving the funds
or rather I guess in the circumstance even though the Supreme Court has made it
extra legal to do this now at the time when the this this back and forth is
happening technically it was illegal for a super PAC to directly coordinate
with the campaign, which is another side of the story, but again, it doesn't matter because obviously nobody cares.
8K anti-aliased ray traced evidence, yes.
I want you to take a look at Angus too. Never been to M.I.C. spending bill. He didn't absolutely
slobber over goddamn wire. These my refs, these old fogies are so corrupt and stupid.
Yeah.
There is something funny about this though that like capitalism and the injudification
also like capitalism is low-key making it first of all capitalism is making it a necessity
to do imperialism but capitalism is also making it harder to do imperialism successfully.
I guess it's yet another instance of capitalism collapsing within its own contradictions
Because on the one hand, right, it is an absolute necessity to find new labor markets to extract
natural resources and to make sure that the nations of the periphery are kept less developed.
But in order to do that, you have to have sufficient military prowess.
And ironically enough, the exact same interests, the exact same interests are making it virtually impossible to keep up with a, to maintain a sufficient edge on our military.
Bro, come on, my girlfriend is watching, dude.
Well, Julian Androne, says hello at CNN at Abbey Phillips.
Please consider the following pitch for your next roundtable if I may be so presumptuous
to make an attempt at rivaling your producer's genius.
What if it was Hassan Piker, not Susan Collins, who accepted bribes from a defense contractor?
Perhaps this would be a more consequential news story if that was the case.
Just imagine if that was the case, right?
Imagine if I was the one doing this.
Quit pro quo bullshit.
Thanks, dude.
I just got dumped for a picture of your meat.
Fear not, I am an international shipping magnate and I don't do anything else.
The five talks AOC.
AOC will be formidable.
There is a lot of enthusiasm behind her, but all of this about, you know, the folks that
want to run for president, closing up to the DSA or being part of the DSA, the person who
who is the coziest with the DSA is Donald Trump.
I mean, the love fest with Mamdani yesterday,
the googly eyes are back, you're gonna be a great mayor,
you wanna come down to DC, we'll talk again there,
we need the money for sunny side yards.
He thinks Mamdani's a winner.
So he shouldn't help New York.
No, he's-
I'm saying that it's obviously not that scary.
If Donald Trump thinks that Mamdani can be great
and that he loves this city and there's a lot
that they can see eye to eye on,
then they're not a bunch of-
I mean, we've done business with Dominus before.
Just okay.
Now he's a communist.
He's stalling after World War II.
Okay.
That's what you thought.
The guy, he was like in love with him, Jesse.
He was looking at him like, oh my God, Jessica is so good.
They're just peppering every, you know, what the beautiful
part about Trump cozying up the mom, Donnie is it really
pisses off virtually all of our enemies. Everyone on the right to the far right hates it because
they're jealous for daddy's attention. And now this commie is getting daddy's attention.
It throws a wrench in their plans to it undermines the argument that like scary communism is coming
to the country, right? Because like, on the one hand, the RNC's campaign is Socialism
is scary. Hassan Piker is scary. On the other hand, you're hanging out with the guy who,
you know, I, in this community and socialists play a formative role in getting elected.
So it ruins that midterm strategy. It ruins that midterm strategy, especially if Zoran
turns around and says, no, we're all socialists. That's huge. That has downstream consequences
that are tremendously positive. All it would take is for Zoran to hang out with Abdel El-Sayed.
It'd be like, hey, Trump's favorite guys Zoran Mamdani also hanging out with Abdel El-Sayed.
There's that element of it it also ruins the the the marginal chances that New York Republicans had
Mike Lawler being one the dude running for governor whose name I don't even know right and it pisses
off every single dipshit, like Jesse Waters. Jesse Waters hates this shit, right? Which
is, you know, awesome for us. I love watching this guy mauled. But not only that, but also
Laura Loomer loses her mind over it. Laura Loomer specifically, because daddy gets to
pay attention to Zoram-Mumdani, the scary commie. Laura Loomer says, I'm pissed off.
We worked so hard to combat the radical left in the anti-American Islamic jihadists who
work to destroy a country every day and for what? So they can be rewarded. There is never
going to be any accountability. I realize that today. We will never see it. Let's see
what Jesse Waters had to say.
Yes.
Like in a sexual way?
Yeah.
Should we warn Melania?
He's trying to protect his investment is all that's about. He's going to be an ex-president.
He's not genuinely charmed or taken by the fact that Mamdani is delivering on things for
New Yorkers that he promised them.
What?
He uses his own words.
Yeah, it's very simple Zoramum Dhani
Came into power in the same way that Donald Trump came into power
By not only beating the opposition on the other side of the aisle
But also the establishment of his own respective parties. That's what Donald Trump did
that's what Zoramum Dhani did and
Now on top of that he's delivering on an affordability agenda
So Donald Trump is of course going to to like him. Donald Trump has always wanted to be loved by the New York elite
Zoramum Dhani is
That background Zoramum Dhani comes from that background
post-colonial academic father
unbelievably famous movie director mother
Zoramum Dhani is the New York liberal intelligentsia and not only that
But Zoran Mamdani is beloved by the people that Trump has always wanted to be loved by.
So these are some of the many reasons why Trump feels partial to Zoran and even likes
his company quite a bit.
On top of that, as I've said before, he's a really affable guy.
He's a likable guy, especially in person.
He runs Islamic Sharia communist hypnosis.
Once he runs that Islamic Sharia communist hypnosis on you, it's very difficult.
It's very difficult to hate him.
I mean, he was able to turn it up on some of the New York CEOs that he met in person.
Trump loves the winner.
Zoran's the winner.
No, literally, dude, I'm in Zoran once and I was high for three months.
Okay, chill.
Okay, glaze.
Dial it back a little bit.
You swoon when you talk to him for sure, excuse me.
We talked for hours and I did not swoon even a little bit, okay?
But I did think he was a uniquely gifted and very talented politician.
Okay?
We're dick riding a little bit too much.
Flag on the play.
Flag on the play.
Too much dick riding.
okay dick eating
too much dick you talk about it
i haven't i haven't seen any luxury yet
anything he's promised
no one's doing it jessica
this is awesome
america's most purple man cid rozenberg
was not doing himself any favors by wearing a purple suit
also was malding on his radio show
because of the is our on trump love that of all days
president trump your daughter is jewish
your beloved son-in-law jarrett kushner is jewish
the grandchildren that you love in your great grandfather great
they're jewish
and you're gonna meet
piece of garbage
on yam kapoor
and buddy up to this guy on yam kapoor
This has now gone on way too long.
We had two meetings at the Oval Office
where the president went out of his way,
went out of his way to compliment Mamdani,
smiled, shook his hand.
Don't forget, Elise Stefanik was considering
wanting for governor, you may remember this.
And it was Stefanik who called Mamdani a terrorist
or something like that, a jihadist, that's what it is.
Which is no big deal for me, I've been doing it forever,
But she called him that and Trump did not back at least the phonic.
Do you remember that?
Of course I do.
And not long after that, Stefanik hopped out of the race when Bruce Brachman jumped in.
But Trump had an opportunity to defend Elise Stefanik, who was great to him and still is
in Congress.
He didn't do it.
He didn't do it.
So this has gone on way too long.
These two meetings at the White House were great.
I love Sid Rosenberg.
I mean, he's probably a pound for pound, one of the most racist people in mainstream media.
Like, it is kind of wild how much you can get away with if you're a Zionist radio host who, like, hates Muslims for the most part.
Like, you can get away with saying whatever the fuck you want.
You know, you can get purple in the face, screaming obscenities.
You know
It is pretty crazy
But I'm still you know, I still love
Listening to his rants very funny old task and then yesterday
This nonsense at Gracie Man. Yeah, this also makes it look like
This is just him, but a robot
Which is very funny like I know it's supposed to be a camera, but given his baldness
And how the light is bouncing off of his bald dome. It kind of looks like this is his droid version that is his podcast co-hosts, you know
Chin
Where the the president actually says this guy's got potential to be a great mayor
Who the hell is advising president Trump?
Now I sent the message to Margo Martin love her to right away yesterday. I said, please
I didn't really have a chance to talk to President Trump on Thursday at the White House.
That was more of a taking pictures, meet Danielle, have a couple of laughs.
Thursday was more about meeting with J.D. Vance.
I said to Margo, I said, I need to talk to the President.
He's got to explain to me what the hell is going on here.
Please explain this to me.
I understand he still loves New York, so what?
I can you imagine if I was doing this
With Zoran
Like I'm the I'm the anti-racist Sid Rosenberg
I'm the Muslim Sid Rosenberg. I'm like Zoran. What a fuck are you hanging out with Donald Trump, dude?
Who fucks wrong with you?
On a day of hunger
UNGA
What Donald Trump is gonna go out there the next morning and talk shit about the entirety
of the Omadode?
What the fuck are you doing?
Zoran, this guy's killed so many Muslims, you're Muslim, I'm Muslim.
what are you doing how could you is betray us like this how dare you
It's the Ayatollah's birthday!
Ahmed Rappaport.
Bro, you're being racist towards whatever race it is.
Sid Rosenberg is in a race of his own, okay?
There's no one who has reached the color that he has reached.
It doesn't even exist.
doesn't even exist on the color spectrum before he's plumed.
Zoran the Aethol is rolling in his grave.
So what?
I love New York too.
So he still loves New York that means you're going to buddy up and be nice and smile and
compliment a guy that has not done one thing right for this city.
Not one thing.
I don't know how my president might plan the guy that I love likes this guy.
This guy.
Oh my God.
He's so.
Oh, that's so awesome.
Radlips were doing that in my replies.
I know it's a billion considerations that I may say here play, but on a very basic level,
the fact that Zora never gives Trump any subjective praise yet receives that treatment from Trump
is unbelievable.
In my opinion, the guy called Zora on a communist apparently with potential.
What is this I've been open to create from the left of Azora most of it rings true and
is this hardening how shrill and lived up defenders yet however I don't get people pissed
at this Trump is a New Yorker first apologize second I think it's probably I mean where
are the Radleys
where the Radleys my only my only demand from Zora I'm more upset about him like not
Promoting people like protesting against Benjamin and yahoo more, you know what I mean or or or not
Disbanding the sRG or hyping Hakeem Jeffries. I think like Zara hanging out with Trump is good
Right by the way megafaunix, this is why I took away your fucking this is why I took away your VIP
You literally just baited me just so I look at your tweet. You just wanted everybody to see
You just want everybody to see
I think mom Donna schmoozing Trump is expecting ultimately necessary but I would have to grant
that it points to the bro board for people are you in the past line is more in instrumental
than a deeply felt cause for him in so far as he primarily uses first meeting the free
incarcerated pass on protest I'm not sure they're sure but they have plenty of points
on the board for him to keep on, for keeping on Tish, which is bad and indefensible. Yeah.
Trenbalo, Trenbalon the Raghwa. The defense is that MIPD will abduct his wife if he tries to
fire Tish. Best case, she should say this, I know the police are tremendous buying and
harassing powers, but at some point this can't be a catch-all excuse for doing their bidding.
Yeah, look, I've heard, I've heard of different arguments for why he keeps Tish on,
the very fact that we have no understanding of why he's keeping Tish on,
and are simply speculating is bad as it is. You know, just say it. Just come out and be like,
Tish is a great police commissioner. I love her, despite the fact that her family spent millions
of dollars trying to make sure that I never become mayor. I love her. That's the case, then say it.
Like, because if the argument is, oh, well, if Tish is like fired, then she's a martyr and then she
has an unlimited war chest to attack Zoran and like run for mayor okay well you're giving her the
opportunity to present herself as an incredibly uh incredibly popular police chief right
you're you're literally only expanding her popularity
You know, only expanding her popularity and making her a more towering, a more aggressive force to reckon with when the, when the, when the, when she inevitably runs against you as mayor.
What is this? Fox earlier outside was pasting stickers as a Republican opponent on gaspons.
The finger pointed the price quote, I did that.
Earlier the candidate was pasting.
Distancing himself.
I'll say it downplayed Socialist Truman.
Stickers of his Republican opponent on gaspons with a finger pointing to the price and the
quote, I did that.
Earlier the candidate was.
Yeah, now now Fox News hates it. Interesting
NBC poll having rad libs attacking lefties Americans view ice minus 12 more favorable than the SA minus 28
Okay
Yeah, one is an expressly partisan
institution
So the Republicans are going to support it unconditionally. The other one is to the left-lanke of the Democrats.
The fact that DSA is minus 28, despite its
antagonistic attitude towards both the Republicans and the Democrats, is pretty good.
And we'll work with those numbers.
Okay?
We'll work with those numbers.
That's good.
It's a good start.
New endorsements coming in.
There's more endorsements in campaigning coming according to Abdul.
It's probably open the floodgates.
Kamala visited Michigan today to campaign with the U.S. Senate candidate.
Yeah, I, like, I talked about this so many times that people keep trying to, like, catch
me off balance on this where they're like, dude, well, you said Kamala Harris was a genocide
there.
She participated in the genocide of the Palestinians, like, you know, don't you feel like there's
a betrayal?
I don't.
I don't.
I want Abdul to win.
I would feel, I would see it as a betrayal if he actually changed his positions.
Dana Nessel and Dorst Abdelaw said as well,
what is this? Eddinger Mendham says, this is so reminiscent of the stuff you would see from older
Libs who just could not believe that anyone would abandon Biden over the cost of living. Well, oh yeah.
Oh yeah, 429 I guess I'll vote for radical Islam and communism. Yeah, this is exactly
dude, dude. The Trump administration took what Biden was able to do in four years and
slammed it into two. So for that, I give them credit. Okay, they supercharged all of the
issues with the Biden administration and slammed it into two fucking years made it so much worse
as well on top of that obviously they gutted the regulatory agencies planes are fucking falling
off the sky uh you know it's it's uh it's incredible it's totally totally it's incredible to watch
okay
they speed ran it
and now they're going through the same exact
democratic style idiotic campaign strategies all
gas prices are not that significant all americans will obviously not vote for
the enemy because the
the prices are are going up
and we have no way of addressing it
right? They're stupid. Of course Americans don't give a fuck. It's the one thing that motivates them, man.
Look at this. Bro, we need your vote. I hate the war too, but the Democrats want to train your kids. Yep.
I'm a Republican, but you know what pisses me off more than anything. It's when the people that I vote for
sell me out for the localists on the other side of the world who want to have global
police state and use our resources, our men and women of our military, and our wealth
to fund it. This right here is a direct result of bad policy.
Yeah. What were they thinking? What were they thinking when they struck Iran, man?
I mean, I guess the answer is they weren't, right?
But it's so crazy that they were just like, we're going to not only strike around,
but we're going to tell everybody we're doing it for Israel.
Like, what a stupid fucking move, dude.
Unbelievable.
Unfucking believable, dude.
that was put in place by publicans that I voted for. That's shameful for me to say. And I hope that, like me, you remember in November, who did this?
And then you got this. You got this. Trump Secretary of Agriculture on the, the,
Benny, I love sucking on Johnson show.
Trump Secretary of Agriculture, beef is too expensive.
Choose a cheaper protein.
If it is too expensive, unlike fuel, Benny, you can eat chicken, pork, salmon, eggs.
There are other sources of really good protein, and all of those prices are coming down as well.
But if yeah, Benny's like don't worry. I get my meat for free. Yum
That's what he's saying
Yeah, just eat rats
You know, it's awesome, you know, it's funny about this is like, oh, we're gonna turn into Venezuela if we have socialism
And and we're gonna start eating rats
And now you got the secretary of agriculture being like come on come on
What is this please bro, I know we have given you nothing for the past one years, but bro please just vote for us one more time
The democrats want to transfer kids just one more war for Israel then please we will deport them all please bro
Yeah meets off the menu gas is unbelievably expensive
This is what I believe. What is this? I think it's very telling that he can't tell you what the
goal of the war is. I can tell you what our goal in the Middle East should be. Pretty much nothing,
but if we do have a goal of stability versus his is a rotating justifications. If it's not
Hormuz, it's the nuclear file. If it's not the nuclear file, it's terrorism, however he defines
it. If it's not terrorism, it's that the Iranians have missiles. So at a certain point, if the Iranians
have any sort of capacity for self-defense. It's a free text for war and I reject that.
He also wouldn't answer you directly on whether or not there should be troops on the ground
because he knows it's extremely unpopular but his real answer is all options around the table
which means of course he would support troops on the ground if the president took that decision.
As to the idea that there haven't been civilian targets, well the president of the United States
openly threatens it which is specifically a war crime just threaten it. Forget even committing
the war crime. I think it's very telling Trump got his supporters missing Brandon at this point.
Oh my god, shut up. I voted for Trump but I've been lost because there's no reason for this
few prices in the council to even been this high. Chuck's going to sit there and rock now until
this media president is out of office. I voted for him and I'm so sorry I voted. I believe it.
You don't even need to tell me that you voted for him, honestly. I can tell.
Like these are these are videos where I just like you can't fake this, you know what I mean?
You can't make this with AI. This is a prime hog, okay? USDA approved.
Just kidding, USDA has been gutted, so there's no more USDA approval for prime hog.
Just you can tell by looking, okay?
I would never thought I would say this. I miss Joe Biden.
Our fearless fucking leader.
like come on man I mean a guy oh come on come on jump trump the jump now has
pissed me off to the point where I want him out of office right now I voted for
But the motherfucker has gone clean off the edge
We're dying out here and
Most of us, we feel as if you really don't give a shit
And you're listening to too many of these allies
And honestly they don't give a shit about us
And you should be focusing on your citizens here
You're the chief and commander of this great nation
It's the highest standard
It takes a lot
It's a huge load on your shoulder
We're worried you're not built from that kind of cloth to be the chief and commander
It was the United States Marine veteran. I'll tell you those veterans were not fucking happy
We're not happy with this leadership
If you would please give a shit could you do that for your people?
Scary part is they got exactly what they voted for and will still continue to vote for it.
He's got a white man taking even a little bit of accountability, Jesus.
I know.
I know.
It's because they listen.
The only language that conservatives understand is when they're the only the only voices they
hear are the pocket screaming.
Okay. And their pockets are screaming right now.
What do you say to people like this in the comments?
Who say what?
What do you say to people in these comments that think
Abdul is bringing common in Michigan is a bad idea and
moves them both?
Guys, I need you to understand something.
Okay.
What I did, what this community did
for bringing excitement to the campaign for under 45ers,
Kamala Harris is capable of doing
for the backbone of the Democratic party.
She is not appealing to us.
She is appealing to black women.
She's appealing to older black voters,
especially at a time when a lot of older black voters
for one reason or another feel some type of way
about voting for a guy that they falsely believe did not vote for Kamala Harris and was like
the leader of the uncommitted movement and all the stuff. It's obviously not the case.
Abdel El-Sahab was one of the first leaders in Michigan who actually endorsed Kamala Harris.
She is not appealing to the entirety of the state of Michigan, obviously, because she lost, okay?
Having said that, she is appealing to this demographic.
Please understand, if Abdullaus Ed needs Dana Nessel's vote and Dana Nessel's endorsement
to win support from 10,000 extra Jewish voters, for example, or 5,000 extra Jewish voters,
he's going to get that.
Okay?
If he needs to win a support of 20,000, 30,000 Black voters that might think differently about
voting for him, but now that he's campaigning with Kamala Harris, feel assured and want
to vote for him, see him as a safe choice, then that's going to happen, okay?
I don't think you guys understand.
The Kamala Harris, no surrogate and no campaign figure is a single shot antidote.
It's not like she's rallying for Abdul.
It's not like she's going out and delivering speeches all around the state.
This is a hyper targeted.
This is a hyper targeted.
You already said Kamala is coming to our side on Gaza, man, these are the same shit.
No, no, no.
When I say that, I don't mean like Kamala Harris is going to be a free Palestine advocate.
I think you guys are misunderstanding what I'm trying to say there.
And I apologize.
I'll take ownership over, not using, I guess, the appropriate language here.
When I say that, I don't mean Kamala Harris is going to become like an anti-Zionist, okay?
That's not what I'm saying at all.
I'm saying that a person who is one of the largest APAC donation recipients is seeing
the need to change her image, to rehab her image on this issue, as in even some of the
most resistant figures, some of the most steadfast figures, are recognizing that they have to
the seed ground on this issue, okay?
That implies that our movement is winning.
Okay?
Like even so on with a severe inability to read the room
is reading the fucking room.
You understand?
And as long as it doesn't reduce Abdul's credibility
on the, you know, Israel critical front, which I don't think it does.
Sean, the black says she's not popular among black voters.
Yeah, I think he's wrong.
Because, or not wrong necessarily, but here's where he's wrong.
Okay.
She is popular amongst black voters that Abdul needs, not all black voters.
After all, Kamala Harris won a smaller percentage of the black vote than Joe Biden did, right,
in the state of Michigan and also across the board.
But she is popular amongst a very specific constituency, which she is literally targeting
older black women that Abdul El Sayed needs to draw turnout from.
Okay?
That's it.
That's it.
These voters will never vote for Mike Rogers.
They will never vote for Mike Rogers.
They're not major Haley Stevens supporters either, right?
But these voters, like Kamala Harris.
As I've said before, politics is a game of addition, not subtraction.
That's how you win elections.
This is addition.
Okay?
This is an addition to the coalition that needs to, uh, to boost turnout for
Abdul to win a comfortable victory.
Rogers is lying when he says we're getting traction among black voters in
Detroit.
That's bullshit.
Um, but the Michiganders still seem to be in.
Yeah, this is, this is, uh, complete nonsense.
I will tell you right now, okay, exit polls will show that Mike Rogers
got a higher percentage of Jewish voters than Donald Trump did most likely, okay, but not
by a lot and not by significant percentages that actually make or break the victory, right?
And black voters will not vote for Mike Rogers in no way and know how it's not happening.
For the record, I'm not going to sit here and say, oh, you're a fucking ultra, or you're
ridiculous for having criticisms of this affiliation, this association.
It's an understandable worry that some people have.
Okay?
I'm just here to tell you what the calculation is.
Here's popular among black voters who always vote them anyway.
You're implying that Abdel Osaid is so toxic to those voters that they would do something
they've never done before in history, not vote.
Kamala Harris is popular amongst this constituency, that legitimately think that,
dude, I don't know how else to fucking cut it for you, man.
They think that Arabs, Muslims in general in Dearborn didn't vote for Kamala Harris
because they were fucking racist, okay?
They were racist against black women, specifically Kamala Harris, okay?
She's there to basically say that's not the case.
Look, oh my God, how else can I put this for you?
how else can i explain this to you how many different ways that you want to
hear
we don't want you in texas
she is an opportunist we don't want you in texas we don't want me in texas what?
oh if obama rally with abdul disobey raps yet another ding to a saddler's
oh that's true
i mean obviously the the greatest
the greatest one shot
the greatest shot
that would secure the vote would be an obama endorsement of obama rally
okay
as a black person come on here is not popular but what she represents a black
woman who was not given a fair shot which is why they're still here support
is the same reason why there is so much backlash for the establishment openly
saying
they are going to drop nixon yes
also what like Jasmine Crockett kind of ran on a little bit too. I don't know. I see the
tea leaves, okay. Black women are very pissed off. And black women are the backbone of the
Democratic Party. Black women can make it or break it. Like black women, if they coalesce
support behind a candidate, it can aid the candidate and offer the candidate the margin
victory and black women could absolutely destroy a candidacy for a democrat. You understand?
So Kamala Harris, that that chatter is correct. Kamala Harris doesn't even represent like
like a candidacy that Kamala Harris does not even represent a candidacy that necessarily
was going to be fantastic for Americans, just represents the angst and the frustration
She's the figurehead for a real frustration that black women feel in the country.
But yes, I think Barack Hussein Obama's endorsement would basically end this conversation entirely.
Chatter means the opposite. He's now saying he just needs Obama endorsement.
Wait, what? Wait, Chatter meant the opposite?
Was it?
Dog, that was such a dumb take that I didn't even register with me.
What are you talking about?
Barack Obama is the most popular democratic figure in the country still to this day.
Yes, it's a substantive voting block that is starting to feel disenfranchised and he's
looking to enfranchise them.
Yes.
This just kind of feels shitty for us Palestinian Americans.
Okay, but Abdul already is a champion of that cause. Okay, do you understand?
It's kind of like JB Pritzker refusing to dunk on me when he went on television and they were like
What do you think about Hassan Piker? He's like, oh, I don't want to talk about that
Why because he understands that if he wants to fucking run for president eventually
He's going to need credibility and it's probably better to not attack someone who has the credibility on this issue. Okay?
It's a it's a calculation that politicians make
Obdelaw said
doesn't need
My direct support as much as he needs
support that will bring in turnout from older white women okay older black
women and Jewish voters okay those are the three constituencies that he is
going to need help with he doesn't need help for the under 45 under 45 is a lock
it's gonna go by like 80% of us had do understand that's not they don't like
and they don't understand they don't want credibility with black people they
rather than losing and understand the black electorate. Yeah, I just, I don't know. I think,
I think it's sincere. I think there's a sincere level of confusion here.
When black women only make it up 6% of USA population, are we attributing too much reliance?
Black women make up 6% of the United States population, but they vote by 92%. Do you know
how significant that is in a state like Michigan? If that goes from 92% to like 80%,
percent. That's a significant number of lifelong Democratic voters that now are no longer a
part of the base. That's huge. Black women vote for the Democrats by Assad margins, okay?
why it's important. That's a weird statistic to mention. No, it's not.
Buddy, we're talking about Jewish voters in the state of Michigan. What percentage
of voters in the state of Michigan are Jewish? That's an even smaller percentage, okay?
It still matters. You have to draw turnout from every base of support that you historically get
it turn out from.
Bringed by him. Maybe they like the dance videos, Mike. So will you be?
Oh my God. Oh my God, Laura. Oh my God, Laura. Laura is enamored. Just loves Abdul so much.
Maybe the dance videos is the reason.
You know, doing your own dance video soon.
You know, Laura, my wife said if I, she sees me dancing on TikTok, it's over. She's out.
So that's not going to happen, and you know what, voters don't want to see that either.
They think they want real solutions, which we're offering.
I've never seen someone be so openly horny on the timeline, by the way.
Like actually.
What they're not talking about, which is really hard to pull. We have
Jewish Democrats for Rogers. They just had a letter come out, one synagogue, which is
overwhelmingly liberal, saying about 70% of our going to vote for us. That's huge. That's
really hard to pull. We're also gaining traction in Detroit with black voters. They are very
suspect of Abdul. There has been all kinds of tension back there across the city. And
I'm the only one that's been showing up and showing up and showing up and doing things
on housing and education and things that are important for their lives. So listen,
He's coming out is not great for the state of this administration and I would suggest
you that the fellow sitting to my right would be one of them when elected.
The stakes are so high, I say, to you Michigan leaders, and I have traveled here to visit
with you and I take you, I thank you for allowing me to have this moment, to highlight the work
you do and the stakes in this election and the need for us then, to tell everyone who
has a vested interest in the outcome of these issues, that they have power and voice in
the outcome of this election, which will directly impact their lives in many ways.
The United States Senate should be a stopgap.
Uh-huh. He thought this was a good idea.
Man, bring back his son, Piker, at this point.
That's so funny. What the fuck?
Wait, what is this guy saying?
I don't care if you bring Allah himself.
I would not work for al-Said or any other anti-Black Arab Muslims.
Go fetch Gatorade.
black fist
what the fuck
ugh
the
Boss talk to Debbie Dingell, please
My god
Donovan's right there too. Can someone be like hey hey Debbie?
This guy has on like I don't know what you think of him, but he's not
You know, he's not this this crazy person that you think she did you think he is like please
We are a team minus 10 days get a propel and
program Medicare for all Canada over the line 10 days G the mural of Will
menikre they painted in Gaza? I did not. Looks like Camila is making another campaign stop.
What is this? Particularly right now and today we are together in this discussion. So I believe
this is a success of this track. First of all, talking about the 9-11, I had nothing to do with that.
Oh my god.
Oh Jesus Christ dude.
At the time I was 13 years old I didn't know anything about this stuff.
Of course I am sorry for all the victims who cherished in the United States or those who
fell in who had fallen in the Middle East because of the policies that were pursued there that
victimized a lot of people. So for sure, we are completely disengaged from what happened
in them and that act or action that took place in New York.
Oh my God, brother. They get they get Joe Lensky to condemn Hassan Piker. Oh my God.
Ahmed Alshara. Listen, I condam, uh, Hasan Piker.
Yeah. Um,
He was not 13 when 9-11 happened. I think that's wrong. I think that's a mistranslation.
I did most of my time in al Qaeda in Syria. That was not my department. Well, no, I think at that time he was not.
It didn't lie. The translation was wrong.
President Trump stood to the side of Syria, supported Syria, and issued a historic resolution or decision to lift sanctions off Syria at a very unique relationship with him.
But once when I visited him in the White House, I was I made a joke with him and when he said about
The Golan has that it is has a sovereignty of Israel. I said why don't you give New Jersey to the Israelis?
You don't own Golan Heights
To give it to them, but you own New Jersey
And I believe that New Jersey is full of Democrats and they are not voting for a term
so it will be good to give it to the Israelis.
So at least this is something that you own, but President Trump doesn't own the Golan
Heights.
So regardless of this joke, the Golan Heights, it is owned by its own people, so it's neither
the Syrian President or the American President or any other person to abandon them or to
give them up to others.
bro heard bro heard Israel say Israel's small nation size of New Jersey so much
that he's like why don't you give New Jersey to Israel
yes guys he was fucking 19 when 9-11 happened Jesus Christ okay yes he was
19 when 9-11 happened oh my god it was a mistranslation what the fuck why is
everybody freaking out it's like oh my god everyone is freaking out like bro we
know he wasn't in the plane okay Jesus Christ
Oh Kamala Harris and al-sayed are doing this joint rally soon and I think it
speaks to something that's been happening among the Democratic
coalitions it's been the changing you know part of the rise of the Arab
American voter has changed that black white paradigm in American racial politics. And
there has been, I remember when I was reporting on Mum Johnny's race, a little bit of somewhat
resentment between who the party is prioritizing now.
Yes, 100%. That is right.
At this point, I wanted to ask, like, how should we read this Harris-L Cyan collab? Do you
think this is her helping him with black voters in Michigan, or is he helping her thinking
about maybe thinking about maybe the dearborns of the world and groups that did not like
how she supported Israel's actions.
I mean, there's reporting this morning that people around Kamala Harris say she's not
going to run again.
Let's see.
I have no idea.
It does look like she's getting ready for another election.
She wants us to think she might.
Yes.
And the polling because of her name recognition puts her very high up, unfortunately, in my
view.
Look, I've seen people on the left and people in pro-Palestiners are attacking Abdul El Sayed over the last few days
I interviewed him on Friday. I didn't get chance to ask him about calm Harris
But I've seen people attacking him
For doing this collab and also for going on morning Joe and saying yeah, she had a slightly different position on Gaza
Which he did sadly. She didn't kind of lean into it
And people are attacking him say oh, he's a sellout see I mean Mehdi is far more favorable to Kamala than I am
must be real. This is why he's supporting genocide. There's always lab masks on the internet who want
to do that. I think most people don't do that. My position on this is when the Vice President of
the United States comes to you and says, I want to endorse you and I want to campaign with you and
I want to support you and you're not asked to change any of your positions on Israel Palestine.
I feel like you've won. I feel take the W. If Abdullah said, oh, I need to stop saying genocide
because Kamala Harris won't campaign with me, then attack him. I'll be the first to attack him.
But he's not changed the single one of his policy positions.
He's not changed any of his rhetoric.
So who's who's bowing to who?
Who's compromising with who?
From what I'm saying, he looks like Kamala Harris
is switching her positions.
And she would never in 2024 have campaigned with Abdul El-Said.
In fact, famously, she campaigned more with Liz Cheney
than she did with AOC or Sean Fane.
So the fact that she's coming to him and not the other way around is great.
I don't want to say that this thing is going to have so much in terms of whether there
are connotations of the right which standards that all people have to follow to have greater
of affordable housing, affordable health care, affordable housing.
That's why I'm here, because these are the big issues that I know have to go across the country, including here.
Are you going to talk about convicular, yes, convicular, former name clavicular update.
Clavicular is I believe charged with statutory rape.
Lauren Conlin reports diving into the police report in criminal case against streamer, Braden
Peters, AKA clavicular, now known as convicular, who is now charged in Massachusetts with rape,
drugging a person for sexual intercourse and procuring alcohol for somewhere under the age
of 21. That last charge I feel like is, you know, I mean, it's like the least significant one out
of the other. On June 4, 2026, a young woman went to Chatham police with her lawyer and reported
an alleged encounter with Peters at his family's Cape Cod home in May 2025, when she was 17.
He said Peters gave her alcohol and then she came really drunk. She alleged they had sex that night
And that after falling asleep at his bed, she woke up to the following morning
To Peters already having sex with her. She told police she did not consent and was in shock
Uh explaining that because it was already happening when she woke up. She did not tell him to stop
She was already she also told the investigator she was not
She had not
Um
She had not consented verbally to sex the night before the woman said she
Initially kept the alleged incident to herself because she was embarrassed and did not want to tell her grandparents
She did not undergo a sexual assault forensic exam and eventually told a friend about what allegedly happened
more later
um
Yeah, this is the the instagram influencer. I think or I don't know what she does but
Uh, the one that like clavicular was like shooting
stuff to her face as well like fat burners.
Massachusetts attorney here with the access case documents is not charged
with statutory rape since the age of consent in Massachusetts 16.
He's charged with rape, drugging someone to rape them and providing alcohol
with someone underage. Those are the charges.
Of course, Neeratandon's favorite big tent
recipient Richard Hananya, because remember Neeratandon hates me but Neeratandon
loves Richard Hananya. Of course, he had to come out and say, the bulwark reports that
clavicular has been charged with Massachusetts with rape, drug and a person for sex and providing
alcohol to a minor.
Lavicular is 20 years old. It looks like the person he is accused of in air quotes, raping,
was 16 at the time. And she was allegedly in air quotes, too drunk to give consent,
i.e. she consented by the normal definition of the term when people hook up. Age of consent
in Massachusetts is 16, so she was old enough. The charges are all about her being drunk.
She says she woke up with him, penetrating her, which seems like it would be hard to prove,
given she already had sex with him and was sleeping next to him.
Chances are good that the charges are based on the initial sex alone.
Basically, it looks like clavicular drank alcohol and had sex with someone of legal
age.
By the modern abuse of language, we now call that drugging and raping.
And then people say, I'm off base for saying we should throw debate perverts in jail ahead
at a time.
Richard Hanaya in the past has also defended Jeffrey Epstein, so this shouldn't come as
no surprise, and Neera Tandon still thinks he is cool.
Richard Hanaya also, for the first time ever in his entire life, I believe, felt the capacity
to feel shame and deleted this tweet.
So yeah, what else can I say about Convicular?
If they were good at debating, the jail would let them go, so I think it's fair, sure.
Howie Mandel seven hours ago posts this clavicular footage from his podcast appearance to which
Conner responds with how we check the news any channel.
Breaking leaks reveal Trump's FTC trip Brandon Karr spent 9 years in a secret sex cult that
abused teenage girls.
Jesus Christ, it's literally all of them.
GOP means, grand old pedophiles.
He gets a random Cape Conner district court next month and he inevitably will be indicted
in superior court.
Teenage girls and young women were sexually exploited in a midtown group, FC Brendan Carr
was a member and more coerced and pressured into having sex with multiple men, sometimes
decades older than them, in what could be described as sex trafficking.
Wow.
it's just a quote, so he's
another racist from Illinois
who was an ethnically White
Richard Hanna is literally
Palestinian who also happens
to be pro Israel.
You mentioned that my
Mike Rogers flopping on around.
Flopped in your opinion.
We know that you endorse.
You endorse the fact.
When you say it's a win-win-win,
and then say a war has to end,
that has just been in fact foot-flopping.
So as you mentioned, you believe that Mike Rogers'
foot-flopped?
I don't know.
I am saying you did foot-flop.
Is this a big foot-flop?
Let me give you the question.
Understood.
Did Mike Rogers' foot-flopped?
Yes.
Okay, question.
Okay.
We know that you endorse the uncommitted vote in 2024.
People might say that you're now foot-flopping
having Kamala Harris come into your camp. Do you see this as a possibility that it might backfire
for you among the Arab-American voters? Can you explain what uncommitted was? What was it about?
Okay. Okay. He's done this before when we were next to one another as well, if you recall,
against my favorite reporter on the beat Olivia Reingold.
There is literally nothing more powerful than just asking to define a term to a journalist.
Because half of these guys literally just write a question down that they get from a producer,
or they just are repeating a question that someone else told them to ask, and they don't think about it.
it. It is I mean it is unbelievably effective. Okay. Can you define it forming please? Can
you define what uncommitted what you think uncommitted means? Mean dummy don't fuck around
maybe yeah mean Domian's right and who was the president we were
uncommitted to president Biden and vice president Harris the same as
part of where it was was vice president Harris running for president at the time
we were uncommitted answer the question I mean I was part of the part of the
Biden administration was enough no no but but who are we uncommitted to who is
the actual leader of the presidential ticket was that yes so we are
uncommitted to President Biden and then he did what what did he do no no no what
do you you're asking the question based on false premises so I'm just giving you
to clarify your premise what did he do you dropped out of the race correct and
then there was a new person running for president right so factually if the
premise you're basing this question on actually a real premise thank you next
question. You mentioned that
Mike Rogers is cooked. Was it
not for Kamala to I'm confused?
No, um, the uncommitted movement
was a movement in the primaries.
Okay. It was in a it was in the
primaries when Joe Biden was
that immediately endorsed Kamala Harris, which I don't even fully, you know, like I'm not gonna,
I'm not gonna, you know, lose too much sleep over it, but it is a fact. He did do that, so.
watch this hog argue about your R and C feet. Okay Dean withers and I've never
I've never been of the homosexual persuasion. I've never been of the LGBTQ
persuasion. I'm looking and now that like I'm seeing this son piker you know
being spread out in his underwear and I'm seeing posts and and I'm coming across
all these really really good looking I mean I've never had homosexual thoughts
towards men but it's liberals say that the LGBTQ agenda isn't prominent
nowadays, but I'm feeling a lot more gay than I have before in my life.
That's all I'm saying.
But now I'm just saying things are feeling a lot gayer.
I'm feeling a lot, I don't know, I'm just feeling different is all I'm saying.
Sorry man, you can't, you can't, you cannot blame your gayness on the damn liberals.
So that's, that's, that's coming from within.
That's not coming from outside the house.
That calls coming from inside the house.
That's definitely a choice because like, you know, I'm choosing not to act on, I mean,
kind of man doesn't see that that like I don't have any kind of feelings towards
us on piker. You were just talking about him in his underwear then you were
telling us all how you're feeling a little bit. Well you can't come back, he just falls out of your face and he's in his underwear and he just works out, he looks good.
I'm not telling you that there's anything wrong with the way that you feel but I am
telling you that the way that you feel makes you a little gay bro and nothing
wrong with that there's nothing wrong with being a little gay bro. Very got
these good-looking guys. Did you come up here to tell us how sexy they are?
I mean, that's just one facet of the time. We can jump into it.
I mean, like, right before you're talking about how you're attracted to men,
you were telling us about how you support Trump because of the economy
and how you don't like abortions. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do with this
third thing. I know what to do with the first two things, abortion, but the third thing,
Sean Piker looking at a little frisky in his underwear, giving you the tingles.
I don't know what to do there. I'm just saying.
I think I'm just I'm just saying that my advice would be to really sit on it think about it digest it
Okay, because if there's nothing wrong look, I'm not sitting on anybody is
There's nothing wrong with being attracted to another man. There's nothing wrong with being a little gay
But when you discover that about yourself, is it just that Christian values that is wrong?
Sorry
so
God made you this way. He's got an imperfect designer
No, he's not I'm saying you throw enough tomatoes at somebody they're gonna catch a few of them their mouth
You know what I mean? I think I'll be honest. I think he's trolling like I
Suspected there are a lot of people at this point
That watch Dean and want to be on the clip copy
Because I mean, I don't know, I mean, Republicans are very stupid.
Or my Schmeet blasted the doors off of many conservative clauses, if you know what I'm
saying.
There's something else that you want to catch in your mouth.
All right, you don't have to be derogatory, okay?
There's nothing derogatory about it.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
Seriously.
I mean that very seriously.
Nothing wrong with a little frisky motion between two metal musicians.
I mean, like metal music?
I'm just saying.
Well, it's a process of life discovery.
We could dive into something else because I think we're too hung up on one topic right
now.
I think you got real focused on this whole- Too hung?
Focused on being hung?
Is that what you say?
Okay.
Okay.
That's I want if you want to talk about it. I want to talk about it
If you don't want to talk about it
We can move on because I understand the sensitive subject
I'm just one in the topic and I think start the conversation
You know would have been worse than Trump right now currently, you know
The thing is it's just so hard for me to you know get from talking about how you're a closeted gay man and wanting to help you
To just talking about Kamala Harris, but I mean listen all respected. I'll make the switch
I'm just gonna plan a seat here man. There's nothing wrong with being gay. Okay, and I'm
This fake as fuck though, yeah, it feels kind of fake.
Sometimes if it's like too good to be true, it probably ain't, right?
Ari Emanuel was asked about how he would handle-
What?
How the fuck is Ari Emanuel doing the round?
Say you're an agent and you got a big music star and his opening act goes out and says
things that and you're the kind of music star that's just out there like I wear
dungarees with your picture on it like that kind of show how would you as an
agent and then stadiums start to cancel and they say you got to get rid of these
guys if you're representing Ed Sheeran what do you do we'll go through it I'll
have you represent Macklemore I'll have you represent Ed Sheeran and I'll have
you represent Bob Crosby. Well I'll just do the Macklemore for you. Do the Macklemore.
So as I would say to you as the following, I do not believe what is happening in the West Bank
is fair and right and just. But if you're talking about, and I had this conversation with a client
recently, and we can all, the great thing is I'm okay to have a discussion.
Is Matt Lamar already a WME client?
And there's a big but coming just agree and have a and get better absolutely
I don't believe the word genocide is the proper word for what happened in the
you know I do okay what about what happened in Gaza he's I don't even know
what God not so that's so that would be I would have I would have this
conversation with them right where we can sit down as human beings I don't want
to live in a country that is a cult or in a kind of echo chamber I want to have
a conversation with him where we can all like sit there and say okay here's the one argument
here's the other and let's get to a point where we can have a conversation.
But even if it's not the proper word, do I think it needed to go to the extent it needed
to go to?
Right.
That they would literally have a guy say you're not coming into my stadium because
that's dangerous.
That's my question.
Right.
Well that's a conversation I would have with Bob Kraft and those people about their opinions
about those things.
This is like...
This is a lot of gray.
Right.
And who would you say...
There's no gray here, man.
These guys are such cowards.
What the f*** are you two first?
I say f*** you two a lot of people first.
I wouldn't, in this situation, it's too delicate to say F you.
Would you have encouraged Bob Kraft not to have canceled, not to have threatened to pull
those guys?
Bob Kraft, I don't know if you know, he does, you know, the blue square.
I don't know what that means.
Yeah, he's a big combater of anti-Semitism.
And by that, I mean he's a big pro-Israel guy who uses combating anti-Semitism as a
Cudgill to the platform people who are anti-Israel he does that he has given a
lot of money to a movement to stop hate and how's that going well you know
something we need more of that yeah more people talking about let's not hate
each other let's talk to each other let's not talk about things that are
really kind of I think but let's all get on the same page about what we're
discussing we can disagree but let's not be disagreeable I think people are
So that and Bob Crafts is doing an incredible job with, with the blue square to try and
combat hate.
And I don't like hate anywhere in the world.
And I don't like Jews committing hate on, on West Bay, Palestinians.
I don't like any of it.
And I think there's a way, dude, dude, are you manuals?
This is Romney man.
Who's brother.
Okay.
Head of WME.
He owns WME William Morris endeavor.
Okay.
He's the top dog there.
He has contracts with Saudi Arabia, owner of the UFC, and part owner of the UFC and all that good stuff, right?
WWE as well.
He is a known liberal Zionist, okay?
I would go so far say Ram is more aggressive in his public statements about Israel than Ari is.
What's really funny about this conversation, what's really funny about this conversation is, if you notice, he just keeps talking about the West Bank.
It's like he is literally perma stuck on the liberal Zionist position of like, well, here, let me tell you how woke I am, because I hate what's going on in the West Bank.
So much so that he just keeps, like it comes across as not like how a normal human being would operate in the situation.
Well, you know, John, well, as you know, the West Bank, well, you know, I'm against what's
going on in the West Bank.
It's like, well, there's more to it, don't you think?
I don't like the Neniyahu government.
Oh, I don't like what's going on in the West Bank.
Okay.
Well, there's more happening.
You know, what about Gaza?
We have to keep on having this conversation.
Do you believe what he said on stage was hate?
I don't think he was completely understanding the facts.
And I think he was belittling to Jewish people too.
So someone got on stage and said like Happy Hanukkah?
Well as I said in the book, there's certain people that have said things that I think are hateful.
Right.
And I've written about Mel Gibson and Kanye that I didn't think were right.
What is this? What?
David rapes rapes. No. Stop. Come on, man. Like this. I don't want to be insensitive.
That's like a grouper, right? That's got to be like a beta count or something. That's
got to be that's got to be like a
no it's it's a account design
stop this is
no it's pronounced the rap in steen
no no no no no this is troll this is a troll this is like griper's being like oh
let's create a Jewish guy who defends Israel and his name is David Rapestine
one Hondo P that's a beta count like that's a anti-Semitic beta count
someone made yeah someone made that account to be like see us us Jews this is how we are you
You know what I mean? Like it's definitely one of those
Groyper
accounts
How do you do? You know, it's so interesting because it is the people in this book like
You're in with very powerful people and there are bodies and they are buried and like you have relationships that are severed
People that you came up with yeah, and it's been difficult
Yeah, and you write about Mel Gibson and how upset you were and Kanye and all that but Elon
escapes you know he's still a very good friend of yours but yeah he's very
clearly I don't know if you get his foot or come on come on come on John oh I
reached out to one of his producers to be like yo let me get on there I bet my
life savings on it not being a real name I've never met in person with that
name and I've been in basically every American Jewish community at this point
yes
I can't I can't stop it. So I would say I think he's
Done incredible things for the human race and continues to do. Okay. I can't watch the rest of this. This is fucking bullshit
They're booked
But
John will tangentially run defense for you, but then he will let these guys just run their mouth, I know.
Can we get off the David Rape Steen thing? Like it's definitely not a fucking real account, guys, please.
Like, what the fuck's going on here?
So, as Eve is officially crashing out, oh, that's, see, that's, this is real.
This is a real pro-Israel person, perhaps the realest pro-Israel person.
Eve, fat low!
Not a fan of cancel culture in general.
I think the question shouldn't be about McLemore.
It should be about the people who pay to come to the concert.
What does an inclusive concert look like when Jews are sitting in the audience?
I would ask Phineas and Lucas Graham and Sharon's house band the following, would you defend
any artist who used the stage at a major concert to display materials that made another minority
in the audience feel targeted?
Thus, that is what they should sit with.
Perhaps with Phineas, Macklemore, Lucas Graham, etc.
don't yet realize is that they now rendered themselves a liability in the
music industry. The puritanical left is burning down its biggest platforms as
we speak. Good work comrades. Ed Sheeran, the oppressor. Suddenly all these
opening axe hate capitalism amazing yeah I know I turned Irish in between but
before people get on me about this this is how a fat low talks this is how he
she sounds this accident is your most cancelable trait okay it's not my fault
that she straight up sounds like that bro
to be able to do that. Awesome
accent. We need to have a plan
for Schumer and Jeffries. Wait
what? Brother Big.
Your jumbo Tron meat is now
canon in no pixel file, Laura
Okay, JD John. Please tell us about the meat pack on the Jumbotron. Oh, the meat pack on
the Jumbotron. What? Often is a better Skull-ish accent than I do. Can you contextualize this
for the audience that has no idea.
For eight, that's a great idea.
Well, at one of my previous rallies, okay,
there was a rally that I had recently,
you know, from my mayoral candidacy
and there was a gentleman and we thought,
you know, what better way to, you know,
smear the other campaign
than by showing a picture of his penis?
Hmm. One final question from.
That's not awesome. That's Fergus Ferguson.
Yeah, this is. What is the West know have the massage and the idea of.
Was that wrong? When I said this is me, if that law.
This is how I sound.
Ah, this is how a sound, if that law does not have the infrastructure, the years of practice
and training to overcome this kind of threat.
It's a religious war.
It's a spiritual war.
That's it.
It's a war between Islamism and the West.
Right.
And we are the closest thing that represents the West to the Islamist.
Yeah.
Right.
That's all it is. And when I was in the Gaza envelope, when I was walking around the Kibbutz scene and I was seeing the destruction, I was thinking about when October 7th happens in the UK, in a state in America.
Because it would be...
This petty attempt at retrospective incitement is all the funnier because this was happening in Scotland.
On 9-11, school was dismissed that noon. My mother came to collect me because the school bus wasn't running.
We went home and watched the television all day and all night. The next day, I returned to school.
Everyone was sad except a certain group of young boys in the corner of my form class.
They were celebrating like it was the greatest day of their lives.
I will never forget.
Eve, that law.
Is still amongst the Jewish population and the Jewish community of New York
and perhaps around the country, very concerned about certain things.
Now, we have videos, we see you in Jewish neighborhoods, you're being, you know, welcomed
by Hasidic communities, Orthodox, you're also being heckled by some.
The time you said in an interview that you would look into or order the arrest of Benjamin
Netanyahu has been indicted by the International Criminal Court for what happened in Gaza,
even some of your supporters said you became a bridge breaker then instead of a bridge
buildup. In retrospect, do you think that that was a mistake to talk about arresting
when it wasn't in your purview? Was it a mistake you think you added to the
fears of the Jewish community? I have been clear about the way that I see the
world and I always own New Yorkers that honesty. When it comes to Benjamin Netanyahu
I have described him as I believe him to be a war criminal and an architect of a
horrific genocide of the Palestinian people and I've also been honest with
New Yorkers, that New York City does not have the authority to carry out the ICC's warrant,
which as you said has been issued for Prime Minister Netanyahu, and that I do believe
that that is something that should be honored because what we want to see, and we've been
talking about this today, is a faith in our politics, a faith in accountability.
You know, I recently met the mayor of The Hague here at U20, and the key thing he kept
emphasizing to all of us was the importance of the rule of law.
And if the International Criminal Court deems someone worthy of an arrest because of a violation of those laws,
then who are we to say that anyone should be above that?
And I think very clearly that everyone should be held accountable to it.
And of course, there's the other issue that was brought up in the press availability with the president and yourself regarding his ban on CNN, political...
I always think back to that clever you leaving Zoran's victory party and being thanked by a huge group of anti-Zionist orthodox youths, yeah.
Well, Politico rather an MS now, which as you know, the three organizations are pursuing
the case in court.
They believe it violates the First Amendment and are right as in free and independent press.
You know, you, okay, tell us what you said when you asked that question.
Well, what I said is that I believe in a free press and I believe in the importance of engaging
in questions from all, no matter whether they are based in a compliment or on a critique.
And even in our press availability today, you saw that we spoke to representatives from
CNN, from MSNOW, from Politico, from Cranes, from the city reporter, from a wide variety.
And what it shows, Iranian President Przestian setting foot on US soil in New York for the
UN General Assembly a day before business, as all Iranian airlines will be shut down
around the world.
It is unclear whether his Iranian registered jet will be refueled for the flight home.
I mean, that's fucking insane.
That would be...
I don't even know, man.
I mean, ironically enough, this would be yet another addition to a sequence of mistakes
that this administration has contributed to, okay?
Because Pazeshkyan, within the leadership structure, is probably one of the most amenable...
individuals, right? And so is Arakshi. So if these fucking idiots end up kidnapping
like the last remaining contingency of non-hardliners, okay? If they, I mean, it's so perfectly
in line with what they have done thus far that I can totally see it happening.
They kidnapped Maduru. Who's Maduru?
Like, at that point, they might as well just be like Iran, we want the hardliners to dominate
forever, you know, 1000 years of Iranian hardliner victory. At that point, allow Iran to just
only run, only be run up as like a parallel state with the RGC structure, but instead,
You know, by the RGC in its entirety, America has seemingly done perfidy again, breaking
Iran in a meter report an explosion near Qashem Island in the Shredda Hormuz.
The cause is unclear with similar explosions reported there since the U.S. has really worn
Iran began.
They're going to hold him hostage and the Zoram meeting was just covered for it.
It's going to look so bad for him afterwards if they do kidnap him.
That's probably purposeful.
I just don't understand.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas actually asked the State Department to get a U.S. government
security detail while he's in New York for UNGA.
After review of the threats against him, he will get a security detail from the Diplomatic
security service. Like possession and Araki are are no longer in a place of decision
making power. Okay. So like doing this would only piss off the Iranians further. It would
be a great shame for the Iranians. It would also completely eviscerate the the principle
of the United Nations, it would destroy it single-handedly. It would single-handedly
destroy the United Nations. Why the fuck would anybody ever go to the United Nations?
This has never happened in the history of the United Nations, right?
Why send them to the UN if they don't make any decisions at all? I mean, they're symbolic
heads of state that go to the United Nations. Like, we didn't do this with Fidel Castro.
We need to do this Gaddafi.
It doesn't make any sense, dude.
I mean, I don't know.
I mean, that is nasty business, not to Chavez, not to anybody.
They didn't give the president of Sudan a visa literally.
I think that's a good point.
Like you're gonna kidnap his Eshgion and not Benjamin Netanyahu?
Oh my god.
At that point it's like, what the fuck are we doing?
That is something that will continue under my administration because I believe it's a critical part of the fourth estate being able to do its job.
Up front now, Abdulla.
Yeah, this was the Aaron Burnett interview the Abdul did and then she still found a way to make it about me.
In any case, that's all I got for today. I'm tired, chat.
Six hours and 30 minutes. It's 6 p.m., 9 p.m. here, New York time.
And tomorrow is another day.
Love you guys.
And I'm sure we'll have more to talk about.
We are officially two days out from Xi Jinping coming to the United States of America.
That's right, to D.C. Two days out from Benjamin De Nihon, also coming to the United States
of America and speaking at the UN General Assembly.
And Shizhenping also coming to DC separately.
And he will not, as far as I understand it, can any hunger-related events.
The song is going to be rolling out the red carpet, boys.
Anyway, please, love you all and see you tomorrow.
Bye-bye.
All the chatter's tricklin' in, I'll sell people hay.
