Oh shit, before I forget, I can't believe I'm so stupid, so stupid, so stupid, so stupid,
I condemn Hassan Piker, I disavow Hassan Piker.
He is vandalizing, in-standalizing.
So we only got the culture?
Well, you know, it certainly makes sense to get rid of this croissant pike or a fillet.
Yeah, this is it.
He is vandalizing, in-standalizing.
What's going on everybody?
I hope everyone's having a fantastic evening afternoon,
pre-noon, no matter where you are in the world.
I'm a son piker and this the house and I'm broadcast coming to you live from
a room that is unbelievably dark. How do we fix this?
I didn't even realize how dark it was.
Oh my.
Okay, maybe this will do it. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. That's good.
No, it's too orange. What's going on, everybody? I'm a Sompiker. This is Austin, our broadcast
coming to you live from a beautiful day in Ithaca, New York, New York, New York,
Concrete Jungle, where dreams are made of. There's nothing you can't do. Now you're
in New York. Well, I guess we're not technically in New York. We're in Ithaca,
New York, not New York, New York. But Concrete Jungle, nevertheless, almost on
Piker and you might recognize me from the United Nations speech that the modern day Adolf
Hitler gave.
You might know my name from that.
That just happened.
I got out of the shower in a panic state trying to make sure that we have a broadcast that
we can use. And all of a sudden, I'm trying to pay attention to what modern day Adolf
Hitler's UN General Assembly speech is going to look like, because you know, that's just
how it goes nowadays. And there's multiple Hassan mentions in it. So you might, you might
have heard about me from that, you know what I mean? You might have heard about me from
the modern-day Adolf Hitler speech from the UN General Assembly. Who knows? In any case,
we have a lot going on in the world. We have a lot to talk about, a lot to get to.
This is the part of the broadcast where I tell you about my, a lot of people are saying,
which modern-day Adolf Hitler, which is fine, you're right. There's two. Well, there's a couple,
but like two very prominent ones and both have actually now officially brought me up as a state
enemy. We'll get to all of that. We'll obviously get to all of that and more, but before we do
personal news wise, you know, personal news why where can I, where do I even
fucking begin? Oh yeah, yeah, I really digging the fit today. Well, I'm wearing a
Cornell tie for those of you with an eagle eye eagle eyed observers will see
I'm wearing a Cornell tie because I'm in Cornell and also I love to pander. I love to pander
and that's precisely what I'm doing today. Hopefully the Cornelians will appreciate the pander
that I am delivering.
Yeah. I don't even know where to begin. I don't know where to start. I don't know what to say.
You know, there's a lot. There's a lot to talk about, obviously.
Been quite the eventful morning, so I'm just going to blast off and I'm going to
get right into it.
It's kind of annoying as a news media figure as a broadcaster who wears many hats as someone
who's a protestor, sometimes working with organizers, other times working with advocates,
to someone who tries to be a political pundit
that covers the news,
it's very strange when I become,
yeah, bro, accidentally became too important at work,
is right, like it's just,
that's what happened, you know?
When you're like, like, what do you do
when you are the newsman,
but then you become the news, I don't know.
I don't know why the fever has not calmed down.
By this point, I thought that, you know,
perhaps things would be a little bit calmer,
a little bit cooler, a little bit more collected.
Good thing that has all come from the attrition,
I've never heard the sound board anymore.
I never hear the sound board.
Yeah, Dalia, Lisa, my girl, my queen, the legend.
She was arrested, Hannah, I'm binder.
So I know, I know everyone that got arrested.
I was supposed to be a part of this demonstration.
Ironically enough, I was also supposed
to be a part of the people that got arrested.
So, I unfortunately couldn't be a part of the group that got arrested today with Jewish
voice for peace, although I was with them this morning, and yes, Elliot Page was there
too.
I was with them this morning, Caleb Herron was there, Sarah Squirm was there, hung out
with my, uh, my, the, the Piker slate. Um, but, uh, I, I had to drive up to Ithaca, New York.
I had to drive up to Ithaca, New York to get to Cornell. So it's kind of crazy as Adam was there,
Hamaway, Adam Hamaway was there, Chris Rabb was there.
Anyway, very, very eventful day, very eventful day.
But sorry to all the poly marketers, poly marketeers who
have bet on my demise bet on my arrest who think that I would
been arrested by now. You, you will live another day. Brother BB mentioning you was great to combat
all the anti-asconslanter but just hope you don't get hit with a heart attack, MISOD gun.
Yes, I am worried. I'm worried that a bloodthirsty monster
mentioned me by name, I believe twice.
So, is it conspiracy brain to assume that you're being observed by Israeli intelligence?
No.
That's- you drove, yes.
Um, yeah, we're gonna get to it.
We're gonna get to all of that.
Let me just blast off and let the people know that we're live, we're live, obviously.
But yeah, I don't know, I mean, let's just get started, I guess.
I guess it's time to get started.
You know, what can you say?
can one do? Hold on, I gotta move this fucking thing a little bit down.
A little bit better this way.
Brother, not to be a doomer, but I think you should have a backup message to the
world for your YouTube and Kesty unthinkable happens buddy I have a
serious question for you you think I give a fuck about a death message if
I'm being assassinated like that's your first that's your first thought you're
like hey if Israel murders you make sure you get a fucking YouTube video out I'm
I'm dead at that point.
The level of parasocialism we are now on
has officially surpassed,
like this is the type of,
like I am very careful and considerate over your safety
more so than a normal person would be,
but also simultaneously I see you as nothing
but a vehicle for content.
How can we have both of these thoughts at the same time?
How can these two thoughts occupy your mind at the same fucking time?
Can we not talk about how Israel is going to murder me?
Can we not do that?
Can we not do that? That would be nice if we didn't do that. Hold on.
I just don't want to think about that, you know?
Not a great thing to have top of mind here at the top of the show. All right.
Cool to see you meet up with the DSA Slade this morning, yeah.
New York Mag is dunking on me.
New high quality polling shows a majority of Michiganders and even a bigger majority
of young voters don't even know who Hassan Piker is.
He's a red herring.
I don't like that.
There's a decent way to cover this story, sir.
Perhaps the reason why an even bigger majority
of young people don't know who I am
is because all the old people that know who I am
are seeing me on Fox News.
perhaps that's the reason why my negative approvals are so so bad
which we're gonna get to as well obviously
dot forbid dot forbid you hurt the apartheid states feelings
dot forbid
uh... you will be victim to endless slander defamation
and the survey video capturing the moment of palestinian
what is this
endless attacks
Um, you won't be able to control how people perceive you, how people see you.
It's uh, it's just like
God forbid you're an anti Zionist and also anti fascist and also
Um
And also uh anti capitalist
God forbid. Okay, so...
Anyway, where do we begin? I guess we begin with Benjamin Netanyahu.
Now that a sufficient number of people are here,
let's start off with the mass exodus that took place as Benjamin Netanyahu arrived center stage.
The vice president of the Republic of Colombia.
The assembly will hand address by his excellency Benjamin Netanyahu,
Prime Minister of the State of Israel.
I request thoughtful to escort his excellency and invite him to address the assembly.
I'm assuming that they brought in their own crowd.
knowing full well that the room would be uh unoccupied
right?
just wait they start chanting M Israel high
Danny Donon, Danny Donon, right there, oh boy, Danny Donon, Mr. Netanyahu, you are the
The greatest leader Israel has ever seen.
These people are all Hamas terrorists.
Anyway.
So, yeah, so, Satan,
incarnate, Satan Yahu, arrives
at New York City, he gets to the UN
General Assembly, and then he arrives at New York City,
and then he arrives at New York City,
He gets to the UN General Assembly, predictably of course everybody leaves the room, but once again, just like last year, he had his own peanut gallery that came to watch you speech.
Ladies and gentlemen, let's get started there.
Let's get started with, well, I guess let's just talk about the elephant in the room.
The elephant, the satanic elephant in the UN General Assembly, Satan Yahu, yeah, he spent
a good five minutes from what I understand.
Talking about Zoram Umdani, and also even bringing me up in the process, talking about
Zoram Umdani's wife as well.
Changed so quickly.
Now, it's no wonder.
You praise criminals convicted of supporting Hamas.
You can't as friends, people like Hassan Piker.
Bro, hit the,
Ha!
Hassan Piker, Hamas.
Who said,
You're from, you're from Philly, dude.
You're from Philadelphia.
You don't have to say Hassan Piker.
Okay, it's Hassan.
It's Hassan Piker.
America deserved 9-11.
America deserved 9-11.
Some friends you have.
Chains so quick.
Yeah, I should have said 9-11 is good for us,
like Benjamin Netanyahu did literally the day after 9-11 or the day of 9-11, I think.
You know?
Yeah, I should have just said, I should have said what Benjamin Netanyahu said, which is
it's good that 9-11 happened.
It's good for us.
That's what he said.
You know?
Here it is.
This is on the New York Times paper record.
Asked tonight what the attack meant for relations between the United States and Israel.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the former Prime Minister, replied, it's very good.
Then he edited himself.
Well, not very good, but it will generate immediate sympathy.
He predicted that the attack would strengthen the bond between our two peoples because
we've experienced terror over so many decades, but the United States has now experienced
the massive haemorrhaging of terror.
Yeah, very good.
It's very good, he said, about 9-11.
Here's the video of it.
I need to say for Marie has reported, Israel's former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has
publicly said the September 11th attacks have been good for Israel.
Netanyahu said, quote, we're benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin
Towers in Pentagon and the American struggle in Iraq.
End quote.
Netanyahu, Netanyahu then reportedly said these events, quote, swung American public
opinion in our favor. This is so sad because this is one day after 9 11. And Amy Goodman
is coughing because she was there at ground zero. Okay. Mr. Mamdani, since you were elected
Mayor of this city many Jews no longer feel safe in New York they talk to me they tell
me.
You know it's really interesting about this amongst New York Jews Zoram Mamdani has a
higher approval rating than Benjamin Netanyahu by the way.
This isn't the city we remember it changed so quickly it's no wonder you praise criminals
convicted of supporting Hamas, you count his friends, people like Hassan Piker, who said
America deserved 9-11.
America deserved 9-11.
Some friends you have.
You invite into your home a Palestinian journalist who filled Hamas terrorists, beating and
torturing Israeli hostages, and later admitted that he refused to publish the videos in order
to protect, you guessed it, the terrorists.
He's talking about MOTAS, which is so funny because he's like been regularly condemned
and criticized for being perhaps one of the most visible Hamas critics who is also a Ghazawi.
So yeah, that's the new meta.
Guys, this is listening to a Zionist is like listening to a flat
earth or or like a conspiracy theorist, you know, the meta,
the old meta, where like people who are, you know, on 11, like
11 different wavelengths on conspiracy like QAnon conspiracies
will just come to you and be like, you know, how, you know,
You know how Irving Irving the the the Patriot was arrested and then Tom Hanks was replaced like and they'll start talking to you about some shit
That you've never heard before but they assume you know because they're tapped into a totally different frequency
That's kind of how it is with Zionist to they live in this like alternative reality
where they're like Motaz Aziza is obviously a
You know Hamas Nick he's a he's a militant
He kidnapped and beat Israelis like all this crazy shit, right?
He's totally made up and unless you're like paying close attention
To Israeli propaganda you probably have no idea what any of this means which is really funny
But yeah, this this speech is not
not to garner sympathy, folks.
This speech is to make the ultrazionists even more hysterical, okay?
Israel's a pariah state, and this fucking demon is the reason, is part of the reason
why.
Let's be real, it's a broader systemic problem in Israeli society, certainly, but he is the
figurehead of why Israel is a pariah state.
your wife liked the post praising the October 7th massacre she liked another
post say like like the fact that the real president of the United States of
America Benjamin Netanyahu Benjamin Satan yahoo is that the UN General Assembly
talking about Zoran's wives Instagram likes on October 8th a Twitch streamer
American twitch dreamers a prominent critic of Israel and the mayor of New York in particular like this is
Pure idiocy, but it also shows you where
Where these guys are at
right
It shows you where they are at
mentally like where the mentality is and how
How insular Israel has become on the global stage as a global pariah
This is also part of the reason why we say Netanyahu and Israel makes Jews less safe,
because this is pure hysteria that's not reflective of the Jewish attitude.
It's a desperate act.
This does not represent the American Jewry.
This does not represent the attitude of Jews at all.
And therefore, I mean the proof, the perfect proof is the fact that American Jews like
zoran mumdani
far more than they like benjamin netanyahu
jeremy benamy said the same thing today funny how they denounce you though yes
because unlike zoran
i am a bridge too far
zoran is an elected representative and therefore he will never touch
the palestinian resistance
and it's internationally recognized right
resist militarily
against the apartheid state
i on the other hand and not an elected representative and that's precisely the
reason why
as a as a part of my job
i will reflect on this internationally recognized right
but that is also part of the reason why i get attacked far more
then he does
far more than anyone else does
i have to live in a world where i am a treated like a uh... treated like an
elected representative
even though i am not one
constantly being undermined
constantly being slandered
constantly being made out to be this like incredibly toxic figure
from a multi-faceted, multi-pronged attack.
Mike Isaac from the New York Times says,
I feel like,
I feel like I live in a waking fever dream.
I was watching Pyker play Cyberpunk on stream just a few years ago,
and now he's a pivotal talking point on the floor of the General Assembly.
I just don't like the way you're being treated by a couple of people and organizations.
I am scrutinized far more than elected officials are, and perhaps that's the point, because
these institutions can't apply the adequate scrutiny to people in positions of power,
Therefore, they apply it to those who are devoid of power, or rather, those who threaten institutional power, because we have the power of the people.
We have the majority, we have the masses, but unfortunately, unfortunately, there is a real disconnect between those with power and the masses.
their opinion and their discontent. I try to the best of my ability to be the
connective tissue between you, the people, and those in positions of power. I
try to offer a voice to the masses who are unfortunately voiceless. But that's
That's it. That is the reason why I get attacked every day.
I hope Jake Tapper, Nera Tanden, the entirety of Fox News, Jewish Insider, Jewish Telegraphic
agency, daily mail, daily wire. I hope they're happy. And this
disconnect is reflected in the way we treat those who are
representing the interests of the masses. Dario Lisa of
Villechevalier, Hannah Einbinder, Elliot Page, Chris Rabb, Adam Hamawee.
These are some of the people that protested Benjamin Netanyahu, the war criminal's United
Nations General Assembly speech.
And while this international criminal court anointed war criminal was able to walk freely
into the United Nations General Assembly and deliver a speech as a war criminal
and destroy what credibility remains for this institution,
our American electeds were outside protesting and they were arrested instead.
That is the reality.
It's upside down world folks.
What can I say? It's topsy-turvy land.
Elepe Susan Saran and Chelsea Manning are among those blocking the road outside of the United Nations to protest the Netanyahu visit.
Hundreds of protesters gathered and were organized with Jewish Voice for Peace to protest
test, Benjamin Netanyahu's speech at the United Nations General Assembly. I was supposed to be
there with them. I was with them in the morning. And then I had to, once the orientation was done,
I had to get in a car and drive up to Ithaca to deliver a speech at Cornell University,
which is where I'm at right now. There's Gustavo, he got arrested as well. Caleb got arrested as well.
Daria Lisa, Chiose, among many others, were arrested in this demonstration.
I'm honored to know these people. I'm honored that we as a community have been able to participate
in some way, shape, or form in them getting elected.
These are real fighters.
These are real leaders.
And I hope that others will pay close attention to the way that they are moving.
And I hope that their courage gives others the permission to also do the same.
We have to stop Netanyahu.
He's coming here to speak to the gas unleashing, the war criminal, and he needs to be tried
instead.
Instead of supporting international law, we are supporting genocide.
We are doing the opposite of what we should be doing.
The whole point of the United Nations is to stop exactly what's happening.
United Nations has failed. We are enabling this to happen, and this can't continue.
I personally witnessed the genocide. On the ground, I was there. I was treating patients,
treating the victims, and it's continuing now. There is no ceasefire. People are getting
killed every single day. There's ethnic cleansing going on in Gaza and in the West Bank, and
we are just turning our eyes and allowing it to happen. I feel more. I've seen disaster.
It's always horrible. What I witnessed in Gaza was way beyond that. It was mass-killing.
A large-scale, deliberate killing of families, men, women and children who are completely innocent.
We have to stop that. And Yahoo! He's coming here.
If the United Nations can't do anything about the genocide, then what is the point of it existing?
Great question. Yes, Cynthia Nixon is there too.
Claire Valdez Netanyahu is a war criminal who must be tried at the Hague.
Instead, Trump is openly attempting to dismantle the ICC and speculating on turning the ruins and mass graves of Gaza into a resort solidarity with every protestor who put their body on the line today.
Free Palestine.
King, this is my seventh year watching you.
If you told me in 2019 you'd be mentioned at UNGA, I'd call you a liar.
Mentioned at the United Nations General Assembly by internationally renowned infamous war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu
That is what is it genuinely
Exceptionally crazy about this whole process. Yeah, it's near attendance crowning achievement quickly
Now it's no wonder
You praise criminals convicted of supporting Hamas
You count his friends, people like Hassan Piker, who said America deserved 9-Eleven.
Been a lot and watched anime, Benjamin Denial watches you. Yeah, I will admit, I am not exactly fond of...
of, I mean, I know that this was already the case, right?
Because the Macias and others have asked in the chat, like,
oh, do you feel like the Israeli government
is watching your moves?
Yes.
And this is perhaps more proof to add to that suspicion.
I remember years back thinking that the Epstein community was
Uniquely unhinged and insane for their stalking of you and now that's just what mainstream media does. Yeah
Mainstream media
International war criminals some of the biggest scumbags on the fucking planet
Some of the biggest scumbags on the planet. I
Will repeat one more time the age old credo judge me by my enemies
ladies and gentlemen
Judge me by my enemies
These are enemies of mankind, these are monstrous people, they have blood on their hands that
they will never be able to wash away.
We will bring them accountability.
14 years ago, I stood on this podium and I drew a red line.
I vowed to prevent Iran's murderous dictatorship from developing atomic bombs.
Nuclear weapons aimed at destroying Israel.
Nuclear weapons that could threaten the entire world.
That's exactly what we did.
Now let me say something that might surprise you.
Iran's nuclear facilities was hard. It was very hard to do. But for me, it was one of
the easiest decisions I've ever had to make as Prime Minister. Because if we hadn't done
it, we'd all be dead. Now you want to hear the ultimate irony? In defending itself, Israel
is also defending many of the countries whose delegates just left this hall.
In fact, I want you to know that many of their leaders even thank us privately for taking
out Iran's nukes.
It's hard to imagine more mind-blowing hypocrisy, but that's exactly what it is.
Now this isn't the first time we were faced with a threat of annihilation.
On June 5, 1967, Israel was surrounded by enemies who openly swore to destroy us.
We weren't then in Judea-Semaria, the heart of the historic homeland of the Jewish people.
We weren't in Gaza.
We weren't on the Golan Heights.
Oh, and Mr. Oshara, you should know the Jews have been on the Golan Heights since the days
of Moses.
You can read it in the Bible.
No, at that time, on the eve of the Six-Day War in 1967, we weren't in any of these places.
We were in a tiny sliver of land.
We still are.
is equal to about one third of one percent of the land mass of the entire Arab world.
Yet they accuse Israel, tiny Israel, of colonialism, some colonialism.
And who's accusing us?
Well, among them are people in Britain and in France.
For God's sakes, they invented the term.
colonies brace the entire globe colonialism give us a break another life yet at the time on this tiny
tiny israel in the big 22 stick big 226 tiny israel shtick in the big 226 bro
incredible. Israel, tiny nation surrounded by scary Muslims. You are Hamas. By the way,
this was the list of countries whose delegations walked out of the General Assembly Hall during
the speech by wanted war criminal Benjamin Nenyeo. News flashed pretty much all of them,
the exception of, you know, European countries.
Genuinely, who is this for?
This is for, I think, the loyalists.
This is for the loyalists.
He hit all the Osborne points using dead Iranians.
My brother died fighting.
Israel is a light onto the world.
We are fighting for everybody.
Settlers are good people mostly the Bible says so Christians are under attack. Israel is so small
Between Hassan bad and this do they really think this is gonna be a winning message for the midterms
Yeah, they are they're cooked
Dude, I thought he'd mentioned Maglamore. I'm out 10k. I'm out 10k on polymarket. Yeah.
By the way, on the car ride up, Romkay will attest to this. On the car ride up, I said,
I suspect Benjamin Netanyahu will mention me when he's talking about Zara Mammdani.
Because I knew that he was going to talk about Zara Mammdani. And I thought, predictably,
he would mention my name as Zoran's friend which is exactly what happened. Also this
light once again showing the true nature of Benjamin Netanyahu.
He's got the yeah he's got the the Adolf stash.
Pat Roberts. No West Bank. No Gaza. No Golan Heights. Just a very survival of this one
and only Jewish state because this is what this conflict is about. It's not about territories.
It's about the existence of a Jewish state at any boundaries. And yet, at the time, right
at that time, we were threatened with annihilation by three Arab armies that were about to invade
us.
You know what Israelis were doing at the time?
They were digging mass graves in preparation for the thousands and thousands of casualties
in preparation to bury our dead.
At the time, I was an Israeli high school student in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Five days before the war broke out, I flew back to Israel.
I found a country in total blackout, Israel braced for impact.
I flew back to see my brother, Jonathan, Yonatan, Yoni.
He was a 21-year-old paratroop officer, and like the rest of the army, his unit was already
mobilized.
I went to find him.
I was told, the paratroops are encamped in the orchards, the orange groves around Romley.
So I went there and I asked some soldiers, you know where Yonin Netanyahu is?
nope nope then one guy said oh you mean the young guy yeah he's in the next
group so I went there what and suddenly what happened do we have to listen to
this whole thing I mean we don't have to
you get the picture yeah Yoni was killed in I think it was in Tebe right
He'll say why don't you use the soundboard anymore dog? I'm I'm on I'm traveling. I don't have the soundboard with me
This is all I got
Okay, that's all I got for the soundboard. Anyway
At the end of a long row of trees, yeah, I don't remember those words
Good the Jewish passengers
Look basically basically the speed the the spiel goes exactly how you
expected it to
It's in many respects a rehash of all the old
nonsense that he spewed at previous UN General assemblies
You know
I think what's really funny about this by the way is that for for like the last couple of
For the last three years, I've been attacked endlessly
mercilessly, mostly by Zionists. I have mentioned over and over again that Israel is up my ass and
every single person kept saying, oh, yeah, sure, dude. No, everybody just hates you organically. It's
not Israel. Where are we at now? Is it normal, you think, for the fucking Prime
Minister of Israel to mention me at the UN General Assembly? Perhaps my
suspicions were correct. Perhaps, yes, there is a coordinated smear campaign. Some
Some of the prominent figures who have condemned the Sampaiker recently, Donald Trump, Benjamin
Ennio, Stephen Miller, Elon Musk, Ted Cruz, John Fetterman, Rick Scott, Laura Loomer,
Nick Fuentes, judge me by my enemies.
You think it's fucking normal?
Yeah, I think it's no longer a conspiracy theory and it's safe to infer that the anti-Assam
a piker media fixation has been in part directed from Tel Aviv.
What will my haters say?
Netanyahu, what are you doing? Ha ha ha ha ha says my stalker.
I mean in so many in so many respects it's a it's yet another clear-cut indication
That we have devolved as a society where it's over, you know what I mean the Western world is over
It's over the fact that
Benjamin Netanyahu is bringing up the name of a fucking Twitch streamer
shows a lot of things it proves once again that
That, yes, of course, this is, in many respects, coordinated by Tel Aviv.
But it also shows that they've lost control over the conversation.
They've lost the narrative battle.
They are an internationally recognized pariah.
Of course, they're considered a normal country.
they still have normal country status amongst the leadership.
Obviously, our leaders, especially in the Western world,
do not abide by the democratic process.
They do not care about your opinions, my opinions, our needs, our demands.
They will never offer a voice.
to any of those concerns, but yeah, a couple years ago, a couple years ago,
Benjamin Netanyahu was worried about facilitating the Abraham Accords.
Benjamin Netanyahu was commanding a modern army with new with a nuclear arsenal
maintaining an apartheid and occupation and now he's crying about a fucking
twitch dreamer at the UN General Assembly oh how far the mighty have fallen
What else can I say I mean this person you could say this person commands the most powerful
country, not Israel, but the United States of America.
Donald Trump has thrown his entire legacy behind Benjamin Netanyahu's naked ambitions
to dominate the region, to advance the greater Israel project, to destroy and vanquish its
enemies, any of them that could provide a military deterrence.
And now he's complaining about Donald Trump, and it's not just Donald Trump that did this
The previous president Joe Biden threw away his legacy as well the previous president Joe Biden also
Through a way I would go so far say
an attempt to repair American democracy
Also that Israel could continue its genocide so two presidents in a row
have eviscerated the international rule-based order that we were the
architects of in the aftermath of World War II and they did it they destroyed it
for Benjamin fucking Netanyahu and a man with that level of power
with unbelievable amounts of influence over American leadership is now reduced to complaining
about the mayor of New York and Zor and the mayor of New York. What is this dog? I already watched
this, Hassan Piker and the 100 year old campaign to make the left un-American.
Do you think that you being Turkish plays into Israel going in on you like this is a good chunk
of a speech with China manufacturer consent for war with Turkey? What Kami says, thank you
Thank you for the 50 gift us as we're at level four hype train at level 15 hype train.
We purchased the Trump ballroom at level 10 hype train.
We purchased the DNC headquarters is doing beeper threats.
Yeah, I know.
He's an animal, dude.
He's an unrestrained, feral animal.
That's what he is.
He's a war criminal.
He's a terrorist.
I think some of the...
Oh, yeah.
This is the psycho who said that I'm a...
My speech will resemble a Nazi speech at Cornell.
Israel hammered Hamas. We pummeled Hezbollah. You remember the beepers? Remember these things?
Remember them? Well, I can tell you this. Hezbollah certainly remembers them. Guess what happened
to the bulk of the his body dude what are you talking about dude pookie tinch why
would Cornell be like oh Benjamin and yahoo mentioned you oh the war criminal
Benjamin and y'all mentioned you you can't speak on campus any longer sorry
like what are you saying
Anyway, because the delegates of most countries walked out for Nenya's address, Israel brought
seven people to their table and they're fanatically clapping at every sentence to simulate the
the sound of a crowd, everything. Everything about Israel is fucking phony. Yeah, it's
worth remembering that this pager attack was near universally cheered and celebrated by
politicians and mainstream pundits two years after Israel's pager attacks in Lebanon, teenage
survivor rebuilds his life. This was an act of terror. And it was outright celebrated
Western media by the Western press by Western leadership they're cheering it
on in that room at the United Nations General Assembly it's disgusting they're
monsters they're fucking monsters 500 gift-to-subs holy shit dude PWN PWNY
Thank you for the 500 gift of subs. Oh my god. That's insane
Now look
What matters most here is what we do in the future to ensure that this doesn't happen we have to we have to fucking
Hold these people accountable
accountable, okay? We have to hold these institutions accountable because if we don't, then we're
expanding the permission structure to engage in increasingly more heinous acts of violence.
Every day that goes by that we do not hold Israel to account as a day where we in the
western world they're saying genocide is appropriate, genocide is okay. Every time Benjamin Nityal
flies from Israel over ICC Rome Statue's signatory countries to come to the United States of
America to go wherever he wishes to go to is a day where these international organs
of justice are crumbling, their influences waning.
What's sad is that I as a socialist and anti-imperialist, a Twitch streamer, still have more faith
and more belief in upholding the theoretical reasons as to why these institutions exist
in the first place than many of our leaders do.
Your political views are based off American values.
Neko, thank you for the 25 gift subs.
I love that you don't flinch and treat your haters with the exact same level of
cold and calculated scrutiny, be it a small Singaporean YouTube troll or a
small genocidal maniac at the UN.
Yeah.
What the hell are we doing, man? What the fuck are we doing?
Anyway, I didn't think I would start off today. I knew that I would start today.
by talking about Benjamin Netanyahu's United Nations General Assembly speech.
I thought I would mostly talk about the EDUC and the speech, the harm in his words.
I thought I would talk about the protests outside and how in this twisted world that we live in,
The people that protest an international war criminal, a terrorist, receive more legal scrutiny than the war criminal himself.
With your mention at the UN and your activism in Europe, do you think it's time to accept
you have an internationally relevant position and that you should consider being more than
just a streamer?
Sure.
There's also a level of comfort and security in the way that people undermine me as just
a dumb himbo or a Twitch streamer, right?
That's how we get the wonderful MSMBC conversation that took place with the clocked folks, right,
with Eugene and Simone.
They think, oh, this guy's a dumbass, right?
This guy is a dumb Twitch streamer.
So then they underestimate.
Anyway, another thing that I was going to talk about, another thing that I was going
to talk about today is the new New York Times Sienna poll that just came out.
a silver lining in the New York Times poll. Ali Ahmadi says, he probably did a Sampai
gruff favor. It's going to be at least a bit harder for mainstream media near attendant
type dims to continue making us on the story of the selection now that they're going to
sound like Netanyahu when doing it. Yeah, I don't think Ali Ahmadi, although he understands
Iran, I don't think Ali Ahmadi understands America. I don't think he understands the
democrats
they have been sounding like benjamin netanyahu this entire time
they don't care
as a matter of fact
one could even assume that they're getting their notes from benjamin netanyahu
some of these people are directly in contact and have been in contact with
benjamin netanyahu like near a fucking danded
so i don't think that's happening anytime soon
because the goal of this
last year
of manufactured outrage was to arrive at these results.
In Michigan, Maine, and New Hampshire, I was polled in the New York Times-Siena poll.
Now, there's some good news there for Abdul, some really good news there for Abdul in
the Michigan race.
Chris Papas is doing all right in the New Hampshire one.
Troy Jackson is not doing all right.
In the main one at all. There's a there's a danger sign there
You predicted this exact poll would come out the good news is that Abdul is leading by five points
So people don't care about the associations. Yes. I've told you this already
for the last year
Mainstream outlets from Fox News all the way to MS now and CNN and CBS
have been boosting to the best of their ability my negative approvals they've
been doing that this was the reason
I said it over and over again the goal of this media smear campaign this
coordinated the sophisticated smear campaign with close to a hundred well
not a hundred million, but tens of millions of dollars being spent on paid media and close
to a hundred million dollars worth of earned media.
Earned media and paid media are two different things for those of you who don't know.
Earned media is like organic when they mention someone on a news broadcast and they say this
guy sucks, this guy's a danger, that's earned media.
media is when they do these attack ads.
The goal of that process was to boost my name recognition in a negative manner with older
voters, with Republicans especially, and without any sort of rallying around the flag that
Liberals normally would engage in, directed by liberal outlets for the most part, when
Republicans attack a left figure, that's usually what's expected to happen.
But in the absence of that happening, of course, my negative approvals are down.
My negative rules are up, sorry.
But once again,
a Sompiker favorability ratings in Maine, unfavorable 22%, favorable 7%, Michigan,
unfavorable 34%, favorable 6%.
new hampshire unfavorable twenty four percent favorable four percent now this
doesn't actually show
the overwhelming majority answers
you know eagle eyed observers and and uh... nobel
laureate mathematicians will observe
that these numbers do not add up to one hundred
that's because there's a third bracket
that is not being mentioned here and that third bracket is who the fuck is
This is Son Piker.
The overwhelming majority of people in spite of these attacks, do not know who I am.
Whether it be in Michigan, whether it be in Maine, or in New Hampshire.
New Hampshire and Maine being unique in this situation because I have not connected with
any campaign in New Hampshire or Maine. I have no association with Graham Plattner or Troy Jackson.
I've not been to either of these states.
But they pulled me nonetheless. But what's interesting is my unfavorability is higher
in the state of Michigan. Now the reason for that is because they've used
First, my name in attack ads and have basically spent more than $10 million,
nutting on yourself again today.
You feel like it would be strange if I didn't talk about the New York Times, Sienna Poldages
came out that polled me and then also, you know, right after at the UN General Assembly,
Benjamin Neniao, international work criminal Benjamin Neniao mentioned like, what am I supposed
to do?
Should I just not?
Should I just move on?
What am I supposed to do?
No really like if it was if it was like, oh dude
Methuselah called you a fucking piece of shit to his you know 130,000 subscriber audience
Why are you talking about that?
You would have a point
Right? There are plenty of people on YouTube and on Twitch that talk man shit.
They're utterly irrelevant.
It's not my fault that international war criminals are now talking about me in the same way that dumb fuck YouTubers do.
Anyway, take a week off.
But the reason why Michigan unfavorables are higher than the other states is because there
is close to 10 million dollars of negative ads.
Okay?
Negative ads that have been deployed in the Michigan television market.
And all that is done is only boosted my disapproval by 10 additional points in comparison to New
Hampshire.
This, to me, is an abject failure for two different reasons.
to attack a candidate by farming their association with me is a spectacular failure to begin with.
I've talked about this many times over. I said over and over again that this would be,
we would reflect on this idiocy once the midterms are over and there will be think pieces written
about it, once the midterms are over, about how unbelievably out of touch, and unbelievably
online, the GOP is.
Because this speaks to how out of touch and extremely online the GOP has become in Trump,
too.
They think the right-wing Twitter algo is real life.
They were already slated to lose due to the economic factors, but centering their midterm
strategy around a Twitch streamer no one knows was extra dumb.
Because in order to establish me as a villain figure, you first need to explain who I am.
Then you need to explain what I do
Good luck explaining to a 75 year old what twitch is who a prominent twitch streamer is
Why those opinions are bad and wrong and then talk about the candidates
Affiliation with the twitch streamer and then last but not least talk about how that affiliation is also bad and wrong
There's like five factors at play here
too many layers. This only works, this only works if people are already knowledgeable about who I am,
have developed hatred for me, understand what I do. And there are plenty of people like that on
Twitter. The entirety of the Beltway consultant class and the entirety of the
commentariat fit that mold, which is why they talk about me all the fucking time.
But to the average person, to the average person, they look at this and go,
why should I care about this? Who is this guy?
Guilt by association smear campaigns are already ineffective for the most part. Donald Trump
proved that that was the case. Donald Trump had affiliations with much better known heinous figures.
And yet it didn't matter. It did not matter one bit.
But guilt by association for a relatively unknown media figure that most people over
the age of 45 don't even understand quite what he does is impossible.
That is why I say that this is a media endeavor propped up by extremely online people.
Because the jigs, tappers of the world, the nearatandas of the world, the third ways of
the world, they are very familiar with who I am.
They spent a good deal of time on Twitter.
So they think this is good.
They think this is a successful way to attack a candidate.
It's unbelievably stupid.
It's the economy stupid.
That's what matters.
That's what has mattered.
That's what will only continue to matter.
None of this other ship mattered.
Barry Balls, have you seen BB name drop you at the UN?
What do you think, Barry?
What do you think, Barry?
Wait, what?
Benjamin, any of you want to mention me?
is on a fucking bender. That's why I'm laughing when people were like, when people were saying like,
oh, maybe this will cause near attended the second guest constantly attacking you.
I remember how some of our comrades used to say online agitation is a waste of time. Well,
now professional agitators, whatever you may think of them, earn the mouth of one of the most
powerful people on the planet as he delivers a speech of the fucking UN. This signals two things,
Alternative media is slowly earning its rightful place, and the imperialist establishment is weaker than ever. I agree.
Anyway, these numbers are still very interesting though.
Tell me whether you have a very favorable, somewhat favorable, somewhat unfavorable,
very unfavorable opinion of Zompiker, or have you not heard of him?
And you look at the Michigan voters and have not heard of him is at 54% for women, it's
at 63 for minutes at 45 you look at you look at the favorability numbers
obviously for 18 to 29 it's 7% and 7% somewhat unfavorable 11 and 12 for 30
to 44 it's less than 1% the unfavorability goes up as the ages go up as
as well. The highest favorability I receive is from black and other non-white people.
The highest unfavorability I receive is from, obviously, white people. This is in the state
Michigan. A lot of this is proof of what I've been talking about. Oh, did I get food? Oh, nice.
Let me get it. Oh, hell yeah. Thank you. What do we got? Okay. All right, perfect.
All right. Yeah, it's fun. You can put it wherever you can put it over there, but
I can't see the things there party breakdown. Um, no, I don't think so from purely ego perspective
is a career peak for you for now, of course. Um, I guess technically
Anyway, in Michigan, I'm plus eight with black voters,
plus three Detroit region.
Oh, here's the next slide for Michigan.
In Maine, 67% have not heard of me.
In Maine plus five among Dems.
New Hampshire, 66% have not heard of me.
Yeah, noticeable bump for non-college-educated, noticeable bump for white people and also
the biggest haters come from Fox News Watchers, that's it, non-college-educated white people
who are over the age of 45.
We know that already.
If the only outlets that mention me are mentioning me in a negative manner, of course the people
that watch those outlets are going to develop a negative perspective.
You go polled you today as well, Jesus Christ.
Unfavorable 18%.
No opinion 25%.
7% never heard of 50%. Among income brackets, the income brackets breakdown, for 18 to 44,
it's 17 to 16, for 45 to 64, it's 3 to 19, for 65 plus is 1 to 18. No four-year
degree, no college degree, is that 3% favorable, 15% unfavorable, 4 plus year
degree is 14% favorable, 21% unfavorable. These numbers are exactly what you would
expect now here's the here's what I have to explain to you guys okay 65 plus
year olds are obviously the Fox News viewership here's what you need to
understand here's what you need to understand
Normally, normally, what should take place, what usually takes place is partisan bias.
I am not a beneficiary of partisan bias in this situation because I am a stand-alone
figure against both liberal establishment media and Republican establishment media.
So all of the favorability is simply coming from my community and maybe some independent
media.
So the fact that we are able to receive any favorability whatsoever, and the fact that
the negative disapproval rate is not much, much higher, implies a couple things, okay?
What it implies is very simple.
legacy publishers are losing their grip they're losing their persuasive
capabilities because this much this much law w framing the fact that the fact
that I was the fact that I've been under attack with endless fucking smears
For the last year, literally the last year in its entirety, the fact that there's still 7% approval implies that these guys are not capable of being able to completely destroy someone's career, completely destroy the way someone is seen in the media.
Laughable polling from the New York Times, they only sampled voters on a single poster.
Everyone knows Michigan's top issues, whether he denounced the Sompiker often enough and
in the right tone to satisfy the near-attainment wing of the party.
Now let's get to the actual important stuff.
Abdul Al-Sayed is at 49% to Mike Rogers is 44%.
Okay?
In Michigan, support for Dr. Al-Sayed appears to be fueled by the popularity of his economic
message and his vocal support for single-payer health care.
He is more trusted to handle the cost of living by nine points, the only Democrat who is more
trusted on the issue across three states.
And despite a bitter primary, a whopping 95% of Democrats now are supporting his candidacy.
Dr. El Saed is also winning 8% of voters who supported Mr. Trump in the 2024 election,
more than either of the two Democrats, either of the other two Democrats in the survey.
Go ahead. Tell me how fucking bad that is. He's absolutely cooking. So who gives a shit
if I have been the primary vector of hate?
If it ultimately aids in Abdul's victory, we will tank the fucking aggro.
Anyway, now let's move on.
Hasan jokes aside, this is really bad though.
No, it's not.
They've successfully made you a bad guy in the eyes of many people who will now not give you any charity.
We can change that.
Oh, no, what will I do?
that's non college educated Republicans fucking hate me. What will I do for Chinese President
Xi Jinping in a rare gesture Trump greeting Xi on the tarmac himself troops rolling out the red
carpet overhead military jets putting on a show a warm personal greeting even as China supports
Iran in its war against the U.S. Some Republicans now sounding the alarm.
I wouldn't turn my back on President Xi if he were two days dead, which is that simple.
And he is taking advantage of America while at the same time telling us lies.
China is Iran's largest trading partner and is reportedly supplying Iran with intelligence
as it battles the U.S. The Republican Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee urging
Trump to hold China accountable.
Our Commander-in-Chief should keep in mind that his guest is a brutal, unelected and
oppressive dictator who seeks to dominate his neighbors and his massive military arsenal
is aimed directly at the United States of America.
Trump is threatening Iran to make a deal or face annihilation.
But speaking to the U.N., Iran's president telling global leaders his country will not
be bullied, vowing to never bow our head or bend at the knee, but adding we are ready
for dialogue and diplomacy.
Now President Trump says he does plan to discuss the war with President Xi, but the big question
remains, will Trump push and try to convince President Xi to pressure Iran to make a deal?
And then, of course, there's also the critical issue of AI and whether the two leaders will
discuss any possible coordination between the U.S. and China, George.
And, Mary, on another front overnight, a federal judge has blocked the president's attempt
to block reporters from the White House, at least for now.
Yet, George, a judge issuing a temporary restraining order, restoring the press access for CNN,
MSNOW, and Politico, those three news outlets that were banned by the president, the judge
saying that ban was likely unconstitutional and also rejecting the administration's argument
that revoking their press access was necessary to protect national security.
The judge said he was skeptical of that.
This morning, a lawyer for the three media organizations, calling this a, quote, strong
ruling vindicating freedom of the press due process and the rule of law.
This move is just temporary, however, allowing them to regain access while litigation proceeds.
George.
Mary Bruce, thanks.
Turn now to a new report that multiple sailors on the Longer Plate aircraft carrier group
attempted to commit suicide.
Joe Bryan has a story. Good morning, Jay. George. Good morning to you grim new details here in a letter to
Hey
Hey to them try to kill themselves
Congress obtained by ABC News the acting secretary of the Navy
Confirming that eight service members tied to the USS Lincoln Carrier strike group
Attempted suicide during their long deployment connected to the war in Iran a Navy official saying that's consistent with long deployments
The letter was sent to New York Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.
Remember, the Lincoln Carrier Strike Group, which includes several ships and thousands
of sailors and other service members, was at sea for more than eight months, prompting
concerns about mental health on board.
At the time, Secretary Pete Hegseth downplayed those worries, saying those concerns had been
quote, misrepresented.
And when President Trump was asked about the deployment, he said it had quote, not nearly
gone on long enough.
The Lincoln Strike Group left the Middle East late last month, but it hasn't yet returned
home to California, it's now nearing its 10th month deployed.
What's all that? Yeah, everything is fucked, okay? Everything is fucked. We are, we are a
nation in a state of disrepair. The economy is cooked. We're getting
dominated by Israel and all our leadership can talk about is, you know, how much more
we need to support Israel, how much is Sampyger sucks, all this dumb shit, like I cannot,
I genuinely can't believe that that was the midterm strategy, like I truly thought that
they would have something better.
This way, but still you never know what exactly did the judge say?
That's right. You never know.
We didn't know what time this ruling would come.
And it came in the middle of the nightgale as the judge in this case
at CNN, MSNOW, and Politico, need to immediately have their access restored, at least for the
next two weeks, as the case continues.
Federal Judge Timothy Kelly, who was nominated to the bench by Trump during his first term,
said he's skeptical the White House is trying to block the new outlets for national security
reasons.
The Justice Department had argued access to the White House is a privilege, not a right.
And those organizations jeopardize national security by reporting details of plans for
the new White House ballroom and investigations into press leaks.
The judge noted, though, some of the reporting cited by the White House is months or years
old, meaning there's no urgency to block them.
In an emergency hearing Wednesday, the judge also signaled he thinks the White House didn't
give the three affected news outlets proper due process before cutting off their access.
As you mentioned, CBS News and dozens of other news organizations joined a friend of the
court brief in support of CNN, MSNOW and Politico.
Nora.
A big win for the First Amendment.
And Ed, what does this mean, do you think, for the coverage going forward with the big
events today at the White House.
Well, it's very much wait and see this morning, Nora, because as long as reporters for those
three outlets are able to show up at the White House this morning and badge in with
no problems, we expect the TV pool to provide video coverage of today's events.
But you're set to begin later this morning with an arrival ceremony in the White House
Rose Garden.
But if the White House doesn't abide with the judge's ruling, complicates their ability
to get in at all, there wouldn't be coverage.
We'll see.
We will see, Ed.
Thank you so much.
happy to be getting back to work here. But this happened just a moment ago. We were escorted
through the first checkpoint that we had had a little bit of trouble accessing, even as recently
as earlier in the 11 o'clock hour. But a White House press team staffer came and gave us an
escort to that guardhouse there. I presented my driver's license and was given back my White House
Hard pass and then let in through secure.
It's wild because like it is a direct shot against free expression and free press.
But the amount of coverage that the media has offered this is also ridiculous.
Like it's totally ridiculous. The media loves talking about itself, dude.
But yeah, they they they were still trying to
Pull off last second tricks and whatnot, but yes, their axis has been restored
Already and now back here on our pebble beach north lawn a live shot
But this came of course after that judge ruled at 12 58 a.m.
over night that CNN, MSNOW, and
Politico's badges needed to be
reactivated immediately. We tried
just after 6 a.m. We tried again
at 8 a.m. And we tried again at
9 a.m. And then again, just around
11.15 this morning, never worked
until now we are back and we are
ready to cover the president.
All right, Greg. So what's going on
here?
The teleprompter said that
Ken Martin was growing a spine.
the only reason why they're shutting piker down now is because he amplified the democrat party's
worst what
trumps press ban is an authoritarian lash out from an increasingly unpopular figure who wants to
hide from it but i'm picking on the press he's choosing on one of the few institutions less
trusted than him. His approval is at 33%. Gallup has hours at 28%. All right, to access is the
short-term emergency, but restoring public faith is our long-term challenge. Once again,
very thoughtful commentary from... First thing yet, because when you hold them accountable,
right? That's the whole point, to hold them accountable, not to be a sick event and tell
them how great they are. It is essential to the role, and Donald Trump knows that. I mean, but to
Stephanie's point, he's been building to this point over a series of time, and I don't think it's
I think it's an accident that it comes at his lowest approval rating yet.
This is someone who is lashing out, and so not only is it a blatant infringement on First
Amendment.
It's not only a blatant infringement of First Amendment, it's frankly just blatantly petty
too.
But I would say on the political front, he's also picking on an institution which unfortunately
is one of the few with lower approval ratings than him.
I mean, when we think about mass media, the public trust is at the 28%.
That's lower than his 33%.
I remember being at the Trump rallies in which we were booed and sped on by some of those
supporters.
That's the game that he's sort of trying to play here.
And I think we should actually acknowledge, as the folks who are interested and care about
the president's role in democracy, this kind of a muted response to something that I think
would have had a much bigger response in Trump's first term, too.
And so I also think that I'm not trying to victim-blame here because this is a president
who is lashing out for his own accord.
But I also think it's incumbent on the press to say, how do we prove to the public that
we are an essential part of this democratic experience?
Because I do think we are, right?
And I think that we should take that 28% number as something that we want to improve, too.
Right, right, right.
No, I think that's very sure.
When you look at it, if that's about tied with Trump, right, look at how Trump is seeing
something.
That's what I'm saying.
It's an important point.
The White House, Ryan, is down.
Great point for my stead once again
Also, this is ironically enough why I kept repeatedly saying over and over again
That these attacks against me will boost my credibility and boost my rate name record name recognition. I
Don't necessarily agree with this that the picking on institution is lower and popular than him would not yield positive gains
that's what it means. If you
came out swinging against
Israel, he'd be doing gang
buses. I mean, Israel is less
popular than the American
press. Talking points at the
worst time. A midterm. It
wouldn't have mattered if this
was a year ago, but it's now.
Can't you just shut up? Piker
just for another few months,
but the narratives are there in
the party. They already
existed. The police are racist
enforcement is racist. Capitalism is evil. The Dems have been saying that forever. They
just didn't want that amplified as people go to vote. They're like the progressive couple
on your block that invites a homeless method to stay the night because they want to show
other camp compassion than they who has ever done that man who like what is this invented
alternate reality what the fuck are you talking about wake up there's a meth lab in the living
room and the dog is dead. That is the socialist faction, the Democrat party and the son Parker,
the party only deal son Parker.
It's just funny. He's like, yeah, this is just like insert thing that I totally made up
that I'm claiming the left does all the time.
time. Oh, got it. Okay, those with bad people when it's costing them something. And that
is during the midterm elections. Piker is like your, he's like your colorful uncle that
you find amusing until your wedding comes up and you just don't want him at the reception.
You know what I mean? But there's so many people worse than him. You guys, I think Greg
Big Buttfeld is speaking about his own personal experience with his immediate family member,
immediate family members.
The funniest thing about their raisin is that after a year of saying Mabdabi, they saw
your last name which is eminently pronounceable and they turn it into Parker or Pike.
Yeah.
There are so many people that embraced Palsign after October 7th.
Charlie Kirk's murder and called everyone Hitler.
There are a lot of people worse than him.
Stretch Face Skeletor.
Jennifer Lynch or Welch.
Jennifer Welch.
She's ten times worse than this guy.
guy. I remember Reverend Wright.
Yes, it gets come home to Ruth.
That's kind of mild.
That's mild compared to this.
And you know, this guy can't go anywhere.
Even if he wanted to, his job is to talk nonstop
for hours all day.
Where is he gonna go?
Yeah, I think they have a real problem in their hands
they've been dealing with for a while.
But also, can I just weigh in on the messaging
that I think is the original bot, right?
I mean, all these guys that are paying the influencers
to talk about affordability in states they don't even live.
Did you, if you dig into the New York Times report,
only a third of the creators who were complaining
about this affordability crisis
lived in the states that they were complaining about.
I think it's helping spread their message in a big way.
That Texas guy, what was his name?
Doug Andrew Drew?
Drew, apparently he's posted 68 times,
only three of them he actually spoken
cause he's got a very thick British accent.
Turns out he doesn't even live in Texas.
He has chosen Texas and embedded in 27 of the 68 posts,
almost half of them.
It's kind of funny, but it's kind of not.
When you think about these creators and the messaging
that they are able to spread so quickly,
and those that they're getting to the quickest,
considering this is TikTok and Instagram,
they're reaching a lot of young people,
especially heading up into an election.
I think we have to pay attention to it.
It spreads fast.
I've been wondering,
where's the supportability messaging coming from?
Somebody's really getting it out there,
And it's some of its instates that aren't having a crisis
that they're talking about.
We should pay our own influencers, shouldn't we?
We should just have an army of other people
that say other things, the exact opposite of this army.
What, why can't we just start throwing money around?
I think we are gonna pay people here more first.
Why don't we pay our people more?
And you won't need influencers.
Yeah, I think it's my understanding that...
Yeah, Republicans do actually do that.
It's ironic because there's a lot of talk
about paid creators and stuff like that
and how Democrats are engaging in this.
Republicans have been engaging in this.
What's really interesting is I'm not one of those people.
I've never been paid.
I've refused to be paid.
As a matter of fact, not only do I not get paid,
But I also do fundraisers for candidates
who I think are worthy of it.
This guy lives rent-free in Nenya, I was at, yes.
That's me.
That's what I look like.
Thank you.
My funding comes from you the people.
and my commentary is for you, the people.
The Piker Broadcasting Service is sponsored by you,
the people, for you, the people, by you, the people.
Okay?
Does that picture alter to something?
No.
This was the answer to that,
that frankly there was an organic and authentic army
of influencers that represented the conservative movement
and the fact that-
Like these guys also cope about,
these guys also cope about
Mamdani having an army of influences, right?
Like they don't understand that like
when someone has organic excitement around them,
and to be fair,
there's not a lot of politicians who have this, right?
They get really frustrated by it.
They're like, oh, there must be something else afoot here,
something that is responsible for Zoran's popular approval.
They're also telling on themselves.
They're telling on themselves because they
don't have any organic approval, right? They don't have any organic approval
whatsoever.
That people were really sick and tired of not being heard of having that sort of
elite voice only occurring out of the prior administration. So as always, the
Dems are just trying to buy it. And what I think is interesting is that we're
seeing the shift. So in the past, right, people, companies, figures, candidates
would pay, let's say $1,000 for one post or up to $25,000 for one video. But
But now, I guess it's the economy, they've been paying a lot less.
So now they pay 300 people or 500 people a dollar for every view or a dollar for every
thousand views because their goal now is not to influence with one video, it's to influence
the algorithm.
And my question is, with the legislation that has passed, for example, in California that
makes you disclose whether you've been paid for something, then does that influence the
algorithm?
Does it, is it factored in that it's actually not organic?
they're just trying to say by building up the volume, look at this surge, look at everyone
talking about the economy under age 28, but then it distills it down. And are there people
who are typing out the algorithm or however it works that say, well, no, no, no, 90% of
these are from Niger and Thailand. But I'll say this, a lot of people are giving credit
poorly to those companies, because they're also saying, for example, Spencer Pratt,
said he became a serious candidate instead of just a celebrity because of paying videos to get to
some dog Spencer Pratt's current popularity is the fakest shit of all time is just like entirely
the invention of Twitter it lives almost entirely on Twitter and nowhere else in the real world if
someone were to be like oh that like in the real world if I was walking down the motherfuck street
and Spencer Pratt was walking down the street no one would know who the fuck Spencer Pratt is
Okay. There is no organic popularity there at all. It is entirely Elon Musk's
algorithm. That's why he has no impact anywhere else. He tries so hard and can not move the needle
in any meaningful capacity. Okay.
The irony of these people claiming other people are astroturfing me while thinking
Spencer Pratt is popular IRL and not astroturfing. No, that's the problem.
Saw you at Rita's event. You're a super down-to-earth dude
Rita's event
Yeah, Spencer press support is entirely
Base-boosted right it's entirely base-boosted
It's a part of this conservative media apparatus. That's like, you know finding clips of me
They get it from like, you know all these different, you know random stalker accounts. They post it this one. I cooked by the way
This was really funny. Republicans unintentionally are going to make me look good to other Republicans.
I'm talking about throwing Chuck Schumer in prison in this clip, which is hilarious because I'm pretty sure they want that too.
It also boosted on TikTok, but mostly mocked in every comment. Yeah.
But in any case, yeah, he he he clipped it 18 seconds, whatever. It's me complaining about Chuck Schumer talking about how Donald Trump is defunding the police and I was like, we need to do a cultural revolution and democratic party.
Like I'm obviously joking.
But another Hassan mentioned from BB.
Stop.
It's there is no there's no real-world salience on on Spencer Pratt. You know what I mean? There's nothing
Like I don't want to be the woke guy and be like oh, you know threats of sexual assault in prison is like
It's not great, but goddamn that's a crazy fucking
His whole bout to get fuck maxed in jail, he gon' be farting cum for weeks.
Fuck maxed.
I think we've all died in gondohill.
There's no way.
There is no way we are alive and on a path to redemption and that heaven is on the other end of this, okay?
By the sure virtue of being alive at a time, when someone said the words,
he's whole about to get f**kmaxxed in jail, and we all understand exactly what that means,
We are in the bad place. Okay, we're in the bad place. There's no shot. We're in the good place
Like this is a statement that I feel gross by reading
By Shirley just reading it I feel gross, but then also feel evil knowing what it means
Okay
Like this is the type of statement that if you understand what this means you're going to hell or perhaps you already are in hell
New sentences are being invented every single day
Sentences that should have never been invented. This is modern-day Shakespeare
Shakespeare
Invented the term assassin JJ Ray invented fuck maxing
Fuck maxing of a man's a hole I
Am the first in my lineage to say these words and hopefully I will be the last in my lineage
to say these words or even know these words. Having said that, given our trajectory, given our trajectory, it's far worse.
The likelihood is that we're going to be in a far worse predicament in a couple generations if we're even alive.
The indomitable spirit of humanity, that's what this...
I feel like I can't speak for a clavicular's whole being f**k maxed, but my soul has been f**k maxed.
Since I watched this.
you
old-school fat
Palit cleanser you don't get politicians like this rotund and ready to deal
to
do that's so sick
kind of love I love my fat politicians so much
really though
I I do I do really love them oh he's so rotund
Very look if you have this body type in your politician
It's like very likely more often than not you're just like super corrupt like more corrupt than the average politician
Who do you have for streamer of the year me motherfucker? What do you mean me?
We're gonna do that we haven't had time to do that, but we'll do that okay
Yeah, he's bombastic maxing
He's fold-maxing.
One of the interesting aspects of Israeli propaganda is that the state was founded by atheists and is now run by secular Netanyahu.
They keep using the Bible to justify themselves. Maybe I should steal land and then justify it with Scientology.
Yeah, I mean the Bible thing is very clearly directed at the evangelical
Zionists which are the last bastion of support for Israel. Like there's no more
unconditional support for Israel in the country. So that's what they're trying to
do. They're just like desperately trying to cling on to that. Also this one did
LeBron numbers.
Father Ron wants you to be in a Celeb League All-Star Battle,
turnie. What battle?
For 10K?
Basketball? Yes.
Any other thing I probably won't be able to participate in.
If it's league then I then the answer is no I don't know how to play league. I've never played league
And I don't plan on starting anytime soon I already have enough dog I
Feel like I have enough burdens on my mental sanity I
Have enough burdens
Impacting my mental sanity, my mental health, my mental clarity, you think I want to fucking add league to that?
Just give me a loaded gun and pull the trigger at that point.
But that's not what got the videos disseminated. That was because he was exposing
the lies and the artifice that everyone in LA had been living under by their mayor and by the
the Pacific Palisades fires cover up and all the things.
So I think, again, they're confusing the reality
and authenticity of what happened on the right
with how they're trying to manufacture it.
But like you said, all that content's already out there.
The algorithm is already in their horrible
anti-Semitic favor, and that's thanks to China
and our enemies, and the Libs in Metta,
that's not because they're paying for it.
You know, when you watch a commercial
and they say at the bottom, you know,
this person's a paid actress, not a real person,
You should just do that, right?
They do that with your show.
Ha!
Ha!
Ha, ha, ha.
Ha, ha, ha.
That's how, uh, when you say Lord,
there are Jesse Waters paid news actor.
Yes, none of his views are his own.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
If you're experiencing any swelling,
By the way, this was Zoram Umdani's statement,
uh brilliant statement, it says,
As he has done time and time again,
Prime Minister Nanyayu used this speech
to repeat basic lies meant to sanitize genocide
Palestinians yet no lie can change the fact that it remains the subject of an international
criminal court arrest warrant alleging war crimes and crimes against humanity. Pretty
solid response from Zohran Kwame Mamdani. What is this repost worth?
Now that Netanyahu has mentioned Hassan by name while addressing the UN, you know, the
leaders of the world, I think we have every right to say that Hassan slander is spiritually
Israeli.
I mean, it is.
It's been, it's been that way.
It's been that way.
But unfortunately, the way the Hassan derangement syndrome works is they will never recognize
And they will only double down triple down
Quintuple down they will go way harder
Okay, my haters are unfortunately abnormal folks. It's just it is what it is once you go down that pipeline
Once you go down
The focus on pipeline the Hassab arrangement syndrome
It's virtually impossible for you to get out. It's very dangerous predicament
I think that's the right way to
do it. Well, I'm confused.
You've been watching Jesse
waters prime time. Um there's
a question somewhere. I know
and all of this is going to be
figured out like it's very
interesting because right now
this is just the first stage
like figuring out how to use AI
an opposition who are going to figure out how to identify and suss out people who are being
inauthentic or just downright fraudulent. But it does feel like there is a billionaire, a communist
billionaire stroking a hairless cat and we're going, ah, ah, affordability. I've got the
This is Zoran's video response. No, this is not Zoran's video response. This is what Zoran did
last night. It's all of harvest season, which of course in the West Bank means that Palestinians
are going to be under attack. And he's doing, he's like symbolically showing that he's with,
he's with the Palestinians. Yes, she said, communist billionaire, she's insane.
Now, and you know, yes, I think there, there is something to be said for every side having
that we're in, then why would
you see the advantage to the
enemy? And you know, it goes
back to the idea of this big
tent. Of course, if we have a
two party system, both parties
have to have a really big tent,
but that doesn't mean you have
to encourage the loudest, most
obnoxious attention seeking
toxic a holes into your tent
to define your intention.
to define your policy talking points.
And that's what they have done with his son, Piker.
He's not some random California Twitch streamer,
which is how they're trying to denigrate his reputation.
Abdul El-Sayed went and campaigned with him.
And it was an embarrassment for him
because you see the height differential.
You know, with son Piker is apparently six, seven.
Abdul El-Sayed is apparently shorter than Greg Gutsfeld.
But he chose to take that giant on the campaign trail because he thought it would get him currency
with progressive voters in Michigan.
Unfortunately, progressive voters are the most susceptible to this virulent mind virus.
And we saw that in New York.
It was younger voters who happened to be very activated during the primary here in New York
City, and they voted for Mondani because he had slick little videos and dimples.
And they didn't think about the unintended consequences of what his brand of governance
might mean for the rest of New York, and eventually a lot of the country who is going to be governed
by horrible mayors just like him.
Can I see you pet the hairless cat one more time?
Yeah, Kennedy's in the lib seat.
It's supposed to be Jessica Tarkov, but she's out doing a book tour.
Anyway, look, the Mar Republicans panic because of their, uh, unbelievable unpopularity.
Okay?
The Mar, they're gonna double down, triple down, quadruple down, quintuple down.
On dumb shit.
Yeah, Barry Weiss is, uh, by the way, way too little attention has been paid to the
the politics of Matthias Dofner, the CEO of Axel Springer.
He gives awards to Thiel, demands employee support
Israel, weird soft peddling it to the AFD.
And Barry Weiss just finished speaking at the ceremony.
In Berlin, ahead of Peter Thiel being awarded
the actual Springer 2026 award.
Weiss listed out some of our differences with Thiel
among them and of course his differences in our attitude
at least sometimes towards the press.
And to the vital role it plays in maintaining
a liberal democracy I viewed as essential.
It's my life's work.
I see it as an instrument of liberty and as an engine of progress that deserves to be invested in and perfected.
We all know what Barry Weiss' role is.
Her entire job, her entire role is to destroy the free press.
Ironically enough, that's the name of her previous outlet before it was sold to a billionaire with the incredible mark of $150 million.
But, uh, yeah, she's about to lose her job, no, she's not.
Her job isn't to boost ratings.
Her job is not to cover the news.
What is this?
One of my friends got mentioned in fucking Nenyao's speech and I'm wearing a strap on
to film content today 2026 feels weird bro yeah yes the world is a strange place I didn't
think that this would if you were to ask me two years ago three years ago that this would
happen I would laugh at you I'd say that's fucking idiotic
Yeah, where did Trump take she to this looks like a Thai restaurant in the small town America. Oh, wait, that's the White House now
That's funny.
God Trump loves his little trinkets.
Kennedy and tonight's Senator Katie Britt of Alabama launching into Democrats.
Take a look.
It can't go unspoken that not one member on the other side of the aisle has had the respect
for women
all my god all my god tommy tuber bill is talking about
furries in the air traffic control
katie brist talking about women in uh... transgender women in and uh...
cisgender sports or whatever the fuck
god damn they are so god damn desperate it's over man it's over every day that
they talk about this shit by the way
every day they bring stuff like this up
Like this is not working, okay every day that they do this gas prices go up a dollar
Okay
Yes, US military personnel officials literally rolled of the red carpet to welcome Chinese President Xi Jinping during the his high

breaking more than 167,000 pounds of meat recalled nationwide.
As of 17th of September, 2026, there have been 335 mass shootings in the United States
according to data compiled by Ground Violence Archive.
Like, these are Fox News comments, it's over.
They are so unbearable.
They are so unpopular, dude.
They can keep churping about this dumb, random, irrelevant shit every fucking day.
It doesn't matter.
Not only will we never forgive them for their crimes, and we will hold them accountable,
but we will not forgive the collaborators either, okay?
near attendance, the near attendance of the world, those in the commentariat that looked
at this time of unprecedented crisis, instability, chaos, inflation, and leaned into the Republican
narratives because they thought it would be advantageous for their own factional battle
within the Democratic Party.
We will not forgive, and we will not forget.
Disgusting.
Anyway, I am going to be delivering a speech and doing a Q&A at court now, I'm sure it'll
contentious for all the debate perverts out there so get excited
here is uh... a coronel
professor
freaking the fuck out
controversial statements
hossam parker has made is not about it
it's about the united states
i'm william jacobson
i'm a clinical professor of law at cornell law school
i'm also the founder and president of the equal protection project which brings
legal actions
to fight against discrimination in higher education.
My initial reaction, when I heard-
Yeah, I love that he's saying discrimination against higher education, in higher education,
no, it's just anti-Sem, it's not even anti-Semism, it's anti-Israel behavior.
Piker was being invited by them is, here we go again, same old, same old.
It's not really surprising to me that the anti-Israel groups on campus have invited,
as incendiary, a speaker as a son, Piker.
In fact, it's very much in keeping with the tactics of intimidation that they've been doing really as long as I have been in Cornel, which is approaching 19 years, but which has ramped up dramatically after.
Yeah, his whole thing, his whole shtick is suing people.
His whole shtick is suing people for BDS.
You may not win Strimmer of the Year, but you are at least Strimmer of the Year for the right wing.
Yes.
I think it's tough to look at a streamer with the, like, I know that Ludwig said, which, you know, he's eating those words now, that Clavicular had the most impact this year, but I think we know there's another streamer who probably had a little bit more impact than fucking Clavicular this year, but obviously in our community, in our orbit, that's a big no-no, you can't say that.
that otherwise, you know all the as-m-gold harassers will come after you and fucking make your life a living hell, you know
October 7
Campaigns of intimidation are really all the anti-Israel movement on campus knows how to do so they disrupt events
They take over stages. They
Intimidate people they set up encampments. They don't really try to win the argument
They try to silence other people through intimidation. I in some sense. I'm glad they invite
It's so funny that he's saying that.
Like, that's literally what you're doing at Fox News.
You're trying to get me de-platformed dumbass.
That's your whole, his projection.
I've never met, I've never met an Israel supporter
that is like, yeah, let's have a real,
let's have a real reasonable debate.
Let's, let's let it all out in the marketplace of ideas, you know?
Let's meet as peers interlocutors wait
What did you do that had impact? Oh, you know just uh played a formative role in getting a couple incumbents to lose their seats
You know had the world's most famous terrorists
Is being on the news every day equal impact yes, I think so I did him because maybe now we can have an honest
conversation on campus about how poisonous the movement is that is bringing him to campus.
The anti-Israel students are entitled to bring him and people are entitled to criticize it.
And so I'm certainly not calling to shut it down. I am calling to take this negative and turn it into
a positive to examine why does the student movement on campus hate our country so much.
We know they hate Israel, but they also hate our country. I think some of the most controversial
statements Hassan Piper has made, it's not about Israel, it's about the United States.
And so what is it that is feeding this atmosphere on Cornell's campus that the poster child
for anti-Americanism is invited to campus by a movement which is anti-American and anti-capitalist
and anti-Western civilization.
That's the conversation we need to be having.
Cornell is a monoculture, something I've been talking about for years.
the faculty, according to the Cornell Suns review
of political donations, is almost 100%, approaching 100%
Democrat and liberal.
So there really is a monoculture on campus.
There are some student groups, and I'm
an advisor to many of them, the faculty advisor, who
will occasionally bring speakers.
But they're not really controversial any place
in the world other than on Cornell's campus.
There was a very well-known Tea Party activist,
one of the founders of the Tea Party movement
who was brought to campus a few years ago, Michael Johns,
so well-documented what happened,
and they tried to chase him off campus.
He had to turn the event private,
and they even found where he was speaking privately.
And so, and they banged on the doors.
We have the video of it.
So this campaign of intimidation
is not just towards Israel supporters.
It's really towards anybody who's pro-western civilization, pro-America, that's what I think people need to focus on.
Don't focus on the fact that Hassan Piker has said these horrible things, which he has.
Focus on the fact that we have a movement on campus supported by many faculty, certainly not the majority,
many faculty who hate our country, who want to tear us down in reaction.
Oh my god, just stop fucking crying, dude.
Jesus Christ, holy fuck.
Oh my God, these guys are a part of a well-oiled machine.
He gets to tour campuses all the fucking time
and complain about how the beautiful nation state
of Israel is under attack.
Classic conservative whiner, ay-ya-ya-y.
Aw, these guys hate America, they hate Israel,
but it's not just about Israel, it's about hating America.
I'm a big conservative whiny baby, shut the fuck up dude, Jesus Christ.
Do you think he believes everything he's saying?
I mean, he's, if he does, then he's hysterical, but who cares?
Maybe he is, right?
I wouldn't put it past them.
Look, look, at this stage, because there's so much negative coverage,
there are people who truly fear me.
There are people who truly fear me, that they're deluded, they've been lied to, they think I'm, you know, I represented real danger, it's not just about like a real danger to, you know, their favorite emotional support apartheid states, it's just a danger in general.
But they are so un-fucking-bearable, man. Conservatives are such...criblies.
There's such whiny little babies.
In addition to this, I think various conservative student groups should continue to invite their speakers.
Now, it's tough because those speakers get disrupted.
People may remember that Rick Santorum, who formed a senator from Pennsylvania and presidential candidate,
was heckled during his appearance on campus.
I've mentioned Michael Johns, who was chased into hiding.
So, it's very tough for the non-liberal students on campus, the non-liberal student groups,
to bring speakers to campus because there's a constant campaign of intimidation.
They literally brought an IDF war criminal that participated in the Gaza Genocide.
And then the same student group, the same student group that invited him was complaining
about me.
And you know what's hilarious, dude?
Same student group that was, I think it's like,
Cornellians for Israel is the name of the student group.
They invited an IDF war criminal who participated in Gaza genocide.
And then when asked about the inconsistency in who gets to speak on campus and who doesn't,
they unironically said, well, Hassan actually said America deserve 9-11.
This IDF soldier who participated in the Gaza genocide actually didn't say America deserve
9-11.
Hassan's words are more violent than the Israeli occupying force's very own trigger man,
like a child killer.
Someone who is part of an organization that is tasked with murdering, slaughtering tens
of thousands of children is actually far less violent than a Twitch streamer who said,
Americans are not 11 and then apologized to the language we used in 2019.
It doesn't make any sense.
I think it doesn't make sense to the average person.
It doesn't make sense to anybody.
If you think about it for more than a second,
you're like, this is ridiculous.
A rabbi from Cornell asked a student group who invited you,
do you know that Piker's presence and words
will harm your fellow classmates?
What the fuck do these guys think you will say, unhinged?
Yeah, I mean, I don't think these guys think that I am,
like, not all these people that are complaining
about this date, many of them know.
Many of them know better.
They're just engaging in cry-bully behavior.
Once again, there is no way to defend Israel, so you have to constantly attack the Naysayers.
There is no way to defend Israel.
So you just have to smear its critics.
You have to stop their travel to different countries.
You have to make their lives miserable.
You have to attack them endlessly, vociferously.
Use every element of the media that you have any influence over to consistently lean into
a barrage of attacks. Cornell is also in a unique predicament because of fraternity in Cornell,
gang rape the girl. There were text messages allegedly. There were text messages sent out
saying, oh, she's free. From what I understand, they are not getting expelled or even suspended,
and yet students were suspended for protesting against the genocide. A professor was expelled
for protesting against the genocide. So like this inconsistency exists in every element.
This inconsistency exists in every element of American society and certainly even in these
institutes of higher learning like Cornell, right? Yeah. So
But they need to do it and the university needs to be completely supportive of it and needs to take action when the other students try to disrupt it and try to intimidate students.
So I think, oh no, that's the big takeaway is how did the movement on campus get so poisonous that Hassan Piker is the person they invite to campus.
Yeah, once again, Mamadou Tull was banned from teaching and declared persona non grata
by Cornell Police prohibitive from being on campus.
It was told that if I want to go see a doctor, I must seek permission first.
My crime being anti-genocide.
If you do this, you read a letter and you're free to roam.
He says, responded to the Cornell Frappero's alleging gang rape troke student, messaged
free pussy.
A former Cornell student assumed the university and seven fraternity members alleged she was drugged and raped at a fraternity house in 2024.
Yeah, a medical student who also happens to be a special forces major in killed and combat.
Yeah, the punishment for these alleged heinous crime was writing an essay about it.
Yes.
Anyway, what can I say, folks? What can I say?
Only one guy got suspended. They let the perpetrators write essays.
There's also this. Hasan Piker may not matter as much as Republicans want.
To hear a lot of the chatter about the pivotal U.S. Senate race in Michigan this year,
you'd think that the election was more or less a referendum on Twitch streamer Hasan Piker.
The theory left this with a large online following his campaign.
far for and with democratic nominee albu al-say to be sure
but so have a lot of other opinion leaders still else as critics during his intense
primary battle representative hailey stevens which he narrowly won in his general election
opponent like writers have made the biggest possible deal out of his association with piker
piker hasn't helped by keeping a low profile of course even as al-say had worked to unite
michigan democrats behind his candidacy after becoming a party senate nominee piker stirred up
fresh controversy as my colleague neah praetor noted last month when he warned that someone
is going to come around take action against america's views this is themselves from israel
Also, I had distance himself from those remarks after previously criticizing Parker's past comment that America served 9-11
Rogers is really harped on outside. It's pike connection broadcasting it nationally in a speech to the GOP's midterm convention in Dallas. Come on
Like this is fucking like New York magazine
Please do a better job of reporting on this shit like that's ridiculous anyway, I
I like that we just continue along with this fucking slander that I said, you know, I
I was issuing a threat to American Jews like it's so stupid
It's so unbelievably fucking stupid, please Jesus Christ if we lose New York magazine if we lose the New Yorker like these are
These are literally the last bastions of like intelligent commentary in this goddamn country
I'm gonna fucking lose my mind like I expect this kind of bullshit from CNN and MS now and whatnot
I don't expect it from fucking New York magazine. You know what I mean?
Ugh, whatever.
As millions of Republicans tune the coverage of the Republican National
National Committee's midterm confab, Rogers invoked the LSA's connection with leftist influencers,
Sondpiker and the Shreemers police that America deserve in September 11.
Tragedy, I've spent much of my life confronting this enemy head on, you already know.
Now, the Republican even referred to Piker as Elsa's running mate.
So as the Senate race heads towards the home stretch, how do Michiganers really feel about
the man who seems to be at the very center of this contest?
Kind of met, according to a new survey from High End Quality, New York Times, and a polling
outfit.
Asked their opinion, Piker, 54% of likely voters in Michigan said they had never heard
of him.
Of those who have heard of him, he's not popular.
His favorability ratio is 6% positive, 34% negative.
But driving that baleful impression, our self-identified Republicans, 60% of them appear
to have heard of piker and nearly all of them 54% of Republicans strongly
disapprove of them as one might imagine from their candidates demonization of
the streamer but what about the other side of this coin we've been told many
times a piker is absolute magic just total wham bam among young voters the
times itself did a report back in April wrote glowingly of pack college out of
okay this person fucking hates my ass holy shit Ed Kilgore Jesus Christ dude
I'm sure it's going to be interesting to see how this is going to work.
Pat College audience is in Michigan devouring his message and Piker has leaned into his
perception of himself as sort of a socialist Piper telling the Times that interview criticism
of his design of boomer desperation.
So what do the kids in Michigan think of Piker per this time?
Santa Paul after most of most of free publicity for it, about him 60% of under 30 voters say
they haven't heard of him and those who aren't exactly jazzed.
Overall 14% of the 18 to 29 year old likely voters in Michigan a favorable opinion of
Piker and 23 have an unfavorable opinion.
The obvious takeaways that I'll say doesn't have much to lose electorally, but this isn't...
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
These people will literally kill themselves if they don't literally say like, oh dude,
this guy sucks.
Every single outlet has to have one of these fucking articles to be like, no, this guy
fucking sucks.
This guy's a loser.
Okay, then stop writing about me.
Okay?
Then stop fucking writing about me.
Why are you wasting ink on this bullshit?
Did I fuck your mom? Did I fuck your significant other? Did you catch your wife licking her
bean to the meat pick at the RNC? Ed Kilgore, is that what happened? Is that why you're
so bent out of shape? Is that what happened? Jesus fucking cries. Guys please, Elside has
to drop this guy. Elside has to drop this guy. Why is it you dropping this guy? Come
Come on man, come on, you have all the permission in the world.
The shroom is a classic red herring so it might be a good time to pay less attention to piker
and more to the 55% of likely-missioned voters who strongly disapprove of the job being done
by Donald Trump.
Why don't you write the article then?
Jackass.
It's almost like the data changes the longer they've seen and heard of you.
It's just like, don't pay any attention to this guy.
I'm screaming at you about it, I know.
Hi, yeah, yeah, yeah, one day.
Yeah, according to a CNN SSRS poll, a number of Americans who view Israel as an enemy are
unfriendly, has increased 39% up from just 10% who felt that way in 2006.
The financial times piece is more forgiving. Yeah, well, that's a profile.
Sampakar, the Republican Party's boogeyman.
Lil' Levin Schirmer recently banned from the UK, tells the Financial Times why he's become US Conservice midterm hate figure.
Sampakar admits he was surprised when a photo of him in his underwear popped up on a giant screen at the Republican Party convention in Dallas this month.
They're trying to present me as this dangerous radical Islamist, jihadist, terrorist, and
then all of a sudden they're like, here he is, shirtless, in all his glory.
He said in an interview, look at his chest, look at his abs.
For conservatives, Piker 35 is one of the most dangerous men in the country.
The far-left online influencers self-declared socialist anti-imperialists who once said
America deserved 9-11, he later apologized.
He has enraged Israel's allies in the U.S. by saying he would vote for a Moserber Israel
every time, and has spoken approvingly of militant groups who belong in the Houthis.
He was recently banned from entering the U.K. because the presence may not be conducive
to the public good.
But the Republicans use of a meat pick we now got meat pick in the financial times from pikers Instagram and a montage
But extremist Democrats was clearly miscalculation. He said and they get backfired on them for sure. It was a great photo of me
Republicans use of piker as a boogeyman to frighten voters ahead of the midterm elections in November
Depicting him as the true face of the Democratic Party
House Speaker Mark Johnson this month said people such as piker want to lead the US down this dark dangerous deadly road to communism
But the prolific streamer said the Republic's campaign of vilification isn't working.
Piker, who has had glowing profiles in the New York Times style section and been featured in the GQ lying in a bubble bath, is not your typical cartoon villain.
If you talk to me, you very quickly realize I'm a fairly pragmatic person, he told the Financial Times, adding that the Financial Times was his favorite newspaper.
With 3 million followers on Twitch and millions of others on Instagram and YouTube, Piker's huge reach with young American males in livestream sessions that often last 7 to 8 hours.
he riffs on current affairs, plays video games,
reacts to TikTok posts, and interacts with messages
from his audience that constantly unfurl
in the corner of his screen.
For many of his young fans,
he is their primary source of news.
With the build of a professional athlete,
Piker's been described as left wing Joe Rogan,
the right-leaning podcaster credited
with bolstering young men's support
for Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
Piker finds a comparison with such broadcasters in salting.
A lot of these mannish sphere guys
don't know what they're talking about.
Their level of involvement in politics
is super, super basic, Piker said.
He sees himself more as a shock jogger than the left.
Rush Limbaugh, he said, referring to the late arch-conservative commentator, both for Zoomers.
But in recent months, Piker was born in New Jersey, spent his childhood in Turkey,
left the confines of the streaming world to become a political player in his own right,
and campaigns up in that country this year, he has appeared distumpt with left-wing candidates
who preceded the score-stunning wins in Democratic primaries. He dismisses the
kingmaker tag. This is a mass movement, and I'm simply one person, he said. Nevertheless,
his admirers say he has an uncanny ability to get through the young voters' skill,
and speak who's he lacking among many more moderate Democrats, and mobilize them for
candidates with an unashamedly progressive agenda.
Bikers said he's now breaking through with an older demographic too.
Everywhere I go around the country, at airports, people stop me saying, hey, look, you're really
sticking it to him.
Bikers influenced a particular visible in Michigan where the Democratic Senate primary
race pitted a little known left-winger, Abdul Al-Said, against an experienced rival backed
by the Democratic Party establishment.
Analysts said his success in galvanizing the youth vote helped propel Al-Sayed the victory
despite being outspent 9-1. Yet some fear his ties to Piker could cause Al-Sayed a victory
in a race seen as crucial democratic hopes to seize control of the Senate. No rational
person could think that Assam Piker is helping Al-Sayed. That would be insane to think that,
Matt Bennett, co-founder of Third Way, the Central Democratic think tank, said. Republicans
are running attack ads in which Mike Rogers, the party's candidate, calls Piker Al-Sayed's
running mate pushed on the defense of the candidates this is himself from his
ally this is not a campaign that's about a twister in California outside said
last month piger was not always an activist he spurred he was spurred to
political action he said after taking part in the no-kings marches against
president trump and well no I was always doing protests and activism far more
than far more consequential than the no-kings protests I just simply said
that the no-kings protests and the demographics that I saw and the anger
and resentment that I saw from the no-kings protests led me to take a
more hands-on approach in electoralism.
Stop the oligarchy rallies organized by Progressive Senator Bernie Sanders and protests against
the government's brutal crackdown on undocumented immigrants.
There he met ordinary people who were all saying enough is enough to trump and where
are the Democrats.
The deep frustration encountered there with both parties convinced him that actually left
populism was successful to win elections and build a resilient movement.
He's becoming one of the most recognizable faces of that movement, yet he continues to
excite controversy.
Each interview he gives provokes an explosion of outrage on social media, critics stretch
inflammatory comments from his live stream. Some made ingest and used them against them.
He reasons to all the acts he does pound for pound. The U.S. has killed more people than Al-Qaeda.
He's called Mao Zedong, great man of history, suggests that the U.S. could learn from the
Chinese Communist Party and call the collapse of the Soviet Union one of the greatest geopolitical
catastrophes of the 20th century. But it is his attitude to Israel that has provoked the greatest
backlash. Said Hamas, October 7th attack was on, uh, was Israel's fault. It doesn't matter if
fucking rapes happen on that day. Piker said the accusation that he is an anti-Semites part of
a ridiculous mirror campaign which conflates anti-Zionism with hatred of Jews. He also accused
Jews criticize double standards right when political commentators say truly heinous things
all the time, things that I disagree with, things that I find odious.
My comments, on the other hand, might come across as insidious because you disagree with
my position, but they're rarely ever immoral.
His detractors might beg to differ, and one recent stream he appeared to suggest that
Jews in America who were singularly invested in Israel might be laying themselves open
to a tag at home.
Some conservative commentators have said that suggests Jews only have themselves to blame
if they're assaulted in his interview with Financial Times to try to unpack that thought.
who equated any criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism came across as ridiculous and hysterically
said and perhaps even more dangerously from their perspective that also legitimizes the
anti-Semites because they will point to that and go see they're doing it again.
His anti-Israel activism has brought him to New York this week on Thursdays due to a
tentative protest against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who will be speaking at
the UN General Assembly.
From there he will go upstate the Cornell University with a group of students not bombs
which is campaigning for the University of Davis from Israel has invited to give a talk.
This is a very well written comment on that Financial Times article.
I've tried to watch Piker's stream before, but realized it was not the intended audience,
not because of the content, but because of the format.
It's designed for people who are into video games, more distracting texts, and scroll on
the bottom.
I'm simply too old for it. That doesn't change the fact that he's a smart guy with a heart of gold.
It's not only that he's become the central hate figure for Fox News and the right wing in the
general and diselection cycle. The real stories that the Democratic Party regulars like Matt Bennett
quoted here are joining hands and screeching in unison with Fox News. Piker's recent electoral
effectiveness is built on two simple pillars. One, he uses his platform to do grassroots fundraising
for socialists and other left-progressive candidates, and more significantly, two,
he activated numerous listeners to get involved directly in grassroots politics. He streamed
himself walking around neighborhoods doing political canvassing, talking on the street
to ordinary people about voting in the primaries for left candidates.
This is an extremely uncomplicated concept, but it's worth remembering how few people
actually do it because they're afraid to do it or because it never occurs to them that
it's something you can do.
But here's Piker saying to his listeners, you can just go do things.
If you're upset at the way the world is right now, you can get behind some political candidates
who have pledged to make big changes instead of accepting the status quo.
You can go out there and just start talking to other regular people, making the case
for how we need big changes in this country and that it's impossible.
Oh my God, this is the most thoughtful comment. This is better than the article itself.
Jesus Christ.
You can go out there and just start talking to regular people,
making the case for how we need big changes in this country and that it's possible.
And a whole lot of people listened to him and did it, many of them for the first time.
If they keep at it, they will learn and get better at it.
It's the simplicity of this message that is most frightening to political insiders whose job to defend on,
depend on fewer people getting involved and few to no real progressive demands
being put on elected politicians. That's why they're trying to make him into a
boogeyman and to reduce his effectiveness. This very newspaper would
prefer that most people get in their corners and stay quiet and let the
experts take the reins. Financial Times columnist Janan Ganesh is the one who
states this point of view most unashamedly, that everything would be better if
politics were a lot more quiet and most people just tended their gardens. Enamored
with his own life as a high income urban bachelor essaying and
uh... endless array of fine restaurants
he can imagine what anyone could be legitimately dissatisfied with the status
quo
most of financial
times editors columnist and readers are alarmed by the
crudity of the extreme right but they are bewildered at the populous left that
is to say
the notion of working class people could act politically to enact policies that
would improve their own lives holy shit
The people are waking up, folks.
The second most up-voted comment.
This merited a more in-depth interview, but I understand you need to shock your reader by putting statements he's made without any context.
USA is killed by out-of-pound orders of mags and more people than al-Qaeda, for example.
This is a paper of record null parentheses, fondness stating that it is effective.
Mao Zedong is not a great man of history, a term you well know does not imply the person was good or benevolent.
But I really like to know who is.
Why not explain the statement regarding the fall of the Soviet Union, which many historians argue removed?
Any need for Western liberal democracy to cater to their masses in terms of welfare and well
We're living in the result of that now, and it's pretty unpopular
I understand why as an American who's forced to apologize for his infamous 9-11 comment
But it was entirely accurate
It does not mean that the people in those powers deserve to die
To give the final word and what is ostensibly an interview with piker to a random and deeply subjective sophomore student is
One of the wildest editorial choices I've ever seen from this, Oregon. Yeah that last line a
sophomore a sophomore
Corneleon from a Corneleon's for Israel
Kind of gives the game away a little bit, but you know overall
Actually grow up and spend most of my life in Queens, New York is on your now's may be correct
But in my opinion there's a difference in attacking you for Israel's interests and literally repeating the things everyone just heard
Netanyahu say
I hope you're right are we leaving now or something okay good comments overall in the
financial timespiece it seems.
So the moral of the story is Pike, Mr. Pike is a little nuts but the real victim is the
girl at Cornell who views thread and all snow flake.
I think this comment on the New York Mag article shows the readership gets it.
Central stems in policy.
People spend too much time on Twitter.
And its market shift to the right after Elon bought it is completely to shore their ability
to tell what regular, non-chronically online people do or say or think.
It's why Kamala thought campaigning with Liz Cheney was a good idea and why they spent
all this time obsessing over Piker, yes.
One of the lesser thought-about elements of this Twitter saga is if we are to understand
that so many media figures, so many members of the commentary, so many members of the
Beltway pundit system, the consultants are spending a good deal of time on Twitter, one
thing that is lost in this conversation is that Elon Musk, who owns the algorithm and
owns the platform and will tweak it to his own appeal to his own needs,
fucking hates me and wants me dead.
So there's that too. It's not just Benjamin Nityahu fucking despises me.
Elon Musk has been an op for quite a while.
And the results speak for themselves. You have an increasingly out of touch media ecosystem because
You have an increasing out of touch media ecosystem. You have Polly Market tweeting shit like this. I don't even understand how Sampai could speak at Cornell University tonight, but as students, schools propel sign and democratic socialist groups.
Yeah, now that you're attacked by the Satan incarnate himself, Satan incarnate himself,
I hope people will understand exactly what the fuck is up.
Anyway, Angie Nixon slams Byron Donald as he tries to distance himself from Trump.
To that I say, too little too late Byron.
If a governor, Byron Donald's, is standing by President Trump, even after references
to the president was scrubbed from his campaign website in recent weeks.
Yesterday, Donald said the site has been undergoing changes for months, adding he still supports
the Trump agenda.
Does it change your interest of enacting the Trump agenda if elected as governor of Florida?
Well, no, I think that's a separate question.
If you're going to talk about the president, we're talking about-
Well, your website did say enact the Trump agenda until yesterday.
So have you no longer enact the Trump agenda?
Trump agenda, the president's agenda, I think a common sense agenda is centered around law and order.
Donald has been a close ally of President Trump for years, but the website changes are part of a
larger conversation about whether Republicans are trying to distance themselves from the president
and his currently low approval ratings. For more on all of this, Florida's Democratic Senate nominee,
Representative Angie Nixon is here with us in studio to look at the road ahead. Representative
of Nixon, welcome.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for having me, Ariel.
So first, we are seeing more Republicans distance themselves somewhat from the Trump agenda
as we just laid out.
Might that hurt some Democrats' chances here in the midterms like yourself, as voters might
see a non-Trump Republican option?
Listen, it doesn't matter whether or not you delete Trump policies or Trump endorsements
from your website, you can't delete your record.
And Byron Donalds, as well as my opponent, Ashley Moody,
can't delete the fact that they, in fact,
knocked off millions of people off of the healthcare roles
here recently.
Also, it can't delete the fact that now,
under this Trump administration,
one in which they rubber stamped, that costs are rising,
people can't afford gas and food on their table,
and right now, people are hurting.
So they can delete things all they want on their website,
but they can't delete the harm and the cruelty
that they have inflicted on the American people.
Now, just yesterday, Republican Senate leadership
brought up you without mentioning your name
when asked by reporters.
Let's just play some of what they have to say.
The candidate in Florida, she's a card-carrying member
of the Democrat Socialist of America.
That cannot be the future of the United States of America.
So this is the choice.
The voters are gonna have to choose this fall.
Is it gonna be common sense Republicans,
crazy Democrats who really do seem
like an anti-American hate group?
I wanna get you to react to that,
but we should note there's new polling from Gallup
showing 43% of Americans view socialism positively.
So clear things up.
Where are you on the DSA agenda
and what do you make of these attacks?
So let's be clear.
If it wasn't DSA, they would be attacking me on something.
This is not about three letters.
What this is about is what I am fighting for,
which is to ensure that people have access
to quality healthcare, people have affordable housing.
There is things like universal childcare,
so people, parents can get to work.
And the Republican party, they don't want that.
They want people to be exploited.
They want people to be harmed.
They wanna look after their campaign donors.
Who are these big insurance companies
and these insurance company executives and make them more money, I care about lowering
the cost and ensuring that government works for the people and not against them.
Your Republican opponent, Senator Ashley Moody, apparently will not debate you. According
to some recent polling, she's ahead of you by about seven percentage points. What's your
message?
The last two polls have actually showed it straight up match up. So that's not correct.
Did Shva?
So there were also some other polls that have us in a statistical dead heat, including our
internal polls.
And so Ashley Moody has 10 million reasons why she won't debate me.
She stole $10 million from sick kids that money that was supposed to go towards their
Medicaid program.
And instead she diverted that into a political slush fund under Rhonda Santis.
Not only that, but she voted to end healthcare for Floridians for $440 million.
I'm so Floridians in the state of Florida and we like to term her and deem her AI Ashley. She has accepted billions of dollars from the AI lobby. I'm sorry, millions of dollars from the AI lobby because she doesn't care about the harms that are coming into Floridian state as it relates to AI.
She's okay with data centers. She is okay with them, you know, scamming our community in regards to taking our
data and things like that.
Let me jump in to ask what is your solution to the AI question in front of us all? There's economic opportunities,
but there's also risks. Yeah, for sure. So we need to make sure that there are stronger regulations.
Look, I am not against innovation, but we need to make sure that there are laws and guardrails in place.
I just heard a report on your show earlier in regards to open AI agents attacking Australia
in regards to their governmental websites, the ones that were for the public as well
as you know, some private information.
And so I am concerned about the safety of children, right?
We need to make sure that there are regulations in place so that they can't scam people.
They can't steal private information.
We also need to make sure that we're protecting jobs.
If people are on jobs, they need to know whether or not AI is hiring them, firing them, training
them, or promoting them.
We also need to make sure that we're holding technology accountable.
If these AI data centers are coming into communities and they are causing people's utility rates,
their water bills and light bills to go up, then those AI data centers need to maybe look
at possibly paying dividends to the surrounding residents.
It's an issue so many people and folks in Congress are facing. We should clarify that the grand jury did not find probable cause to bring charges against
Your opponent
Senator Ashley moody, but this is something you'll continue to discuss on the campaign trail representative Angie Nixon. Thank you so much
Thank you for having me here brilliant
She's brilliant she's incredible
I'm very excited about her race and
And Donald Trump is making it an increasing likelihood every day that he continues this ridiculous war of choice with Iran at the behest of Israel, a pariah state that everybody despises.
If one more person sends me the peach jar sweet, I'm just gonna fucking end it all, dude.
Yes, we covered it. Okay, we.
Oh, crazy. You had Benjamin Netanyahu attacking him while speaking at the UN today.
The controversy around Metas pervert glasses has gotten so big, Mark Zuckerberg just broke his silence.
You also just had A.I. CEOs going to the U.N. to beg them to protect everyone from them.
And with this, Mary Patolis scandal has really exposed.
We're talking about all of that and even more on today's brand new Philip DeFranco show,
You Daily Dodd, into the news, starting with this.
Asan Piker is now sparking all-out war over free speech on college campuses.
Or because Asani is set to speak a court now today, which he says he'll stream on Switch,
and he'll also have a similar event scheduled at UT Austin next week.
But you've had both events getting significant backlash from Jewish students and faculty,
as well as various groups on the campuses that represent Jewish, pro-Israel, and conservative
students.
You had many raising concerns about Jewish safety, noting some of Hassan's more controversial
comments on different topics, as well as his vocal criticisms of Israel and certain remarks
that he's made that some consider anti-Semitic.
And while your people bring up kind of the Hassan classics that you see from every outraged
cycle around him, you also had a lot of people noting this comedy made on a recent screen.
Because people don't fuck with Israel any longer.
And if Jews in America keep putting this idea out there that they are singularly invested
in Israel, eventually someone's going to come around and take action.
Not against the state of Israel, mind you, but against American Jews.
And we had some Jewish groups and critics climbing up those words in bold and extremist
and normalized hostility towards Jews.
You had Hassan and others saying that he was trying to make the point that equating criticisms
of Israel with anti-Semitism undermines and encourages real acts of anti-Semitism.
And so with all this, you saw last week, Cornelians for Israel and Cornell, Hillel, both issuing
statements condemning the planned event, you and the campus Hillel claiming that they support
free expression and debate, but then adding, Mr. Piker's views, however, go against our
values as Americans and Jews and his hateful anti-Semitic rhetoric is repulsive.
And while notably, both groups actually stopped short of calling for the event to be canceled,
others have been taken it even further with a Jewish advocacy group Safe Campus circulating
a petition urging Cornell, state and federal officials to call it off.
But then also, with this, you had the pro-Palestine Jewish group, Jewish Voice for Peace, which
actually helped organize a speech, hitting back at the criticism, saying they reject
the characterization of Hassan Piker as anti-Semitic, and the suggestion that his imitation reflects
hostility toward Jewish students.
And with that noting, that he frequently uses provocative language that some might disagree
with, but disputing the idea that he is actually hostile towards Jews.
But then also, over in Texas, things have gotten way more heated, right, with top politicians
chiming in, student groups even receiving death threats against Hassan.
And there, in addition to opposition from Jewish groups, you had Governor Greg Abbott,
Senator Ted Cruz, and Texas AG Ken Paxton all slamming the planned speech.
So that's not to say it was all Republicans.
You also had some Democrats chiming in with, for example, one congressman writing,
Free speech allows difficult and controversial views, but it does not require anyone to stay
silent when someone has a history of hateful comments about Jewish Americans, 9-11, and
Hamas terrorism.
In the nighting, Jewish students at UT should not be made to feel targeted or unsafe on their
own campus.
And there, the reaction got so big that you had Hassan responding to the political leaders
himself, claiming that they were trying to get his speech canceled and adding,
it's a public university. This is a direct violation of the first amendment saying free
speech must be protected. Dems should push back against this attack. And actually with that,
you had university. Which no Dems did, ironically enough, or I guess as expected,
no Democrats actually pushed back against it. The only time a Democrat has pushed back against
a speech was after it was canceled at University of Washington. What's Henry Cuellar's deal?
like actually though, why is he just a Republican? He's always been just a Republican, shouts out
the Nancy Pelosi for ensuring his reelection, which of course shortly after his reelection,
he got indicted due to a criminal conspiracy, where he was getting bribes from the Azerbaijan
government for favorable contracts. Yeah, fantastic stuff.
Democrats, which is putting on the event,
accuse NUT of sabotaging the speech.
Because according to the group,
2,500 people signed up for the event,
which was set to be held in an auditorium
that seated around 460.
But then with that,
you had University Democrats President Adi Raha
telling reporters that as the interest grew,
his group started receiving death threats against his son.
With that said, he would include multiple threats
that called for him to be Kirk,
which of course is a reference to the fact
that Charlie Kirk was assassinated
while speaking at a university in Utah.
So as a result, Campus Police told Raha
that given the expected crowd size
and the potential threats,
they recommended that the event be moved
to a larger and more secure location.
while Rahab said that he found two other venues on campus
that didn't seem to be booked,
school leadership told him they weren't available.
So he had been claiming that the schools
were refusing to help them find another solution,
and despite the fact that the campus police
literally recommended that they move the talk.
It's with that he thinks that the school
could be dragging its feet
because of the content of Hassan's planned remarks,
right, arguing that the university is actually required
to provide a larger venue under its own policies.
And there, according to a rule on speech expression
and assembly, it says if crowd size
can't be accommodated safely at a certain location,
campus authorities will direct that it be relocated,
quote, to a space that is better suited
to the size of the assembly,
to the extent relocation is practicable.
And so you had Raja arguing,
we're being essentially soft canceled.
Saying by not giving us a venue,
they're essentially pushing us out of campus and data.
And safety is our number one priority.
So if need be, we'll move it off campus.
Saying this event will be happening no matter what,
we're not going to cancel the event.
Right, and all this is going down just over a month
after the University of Washington
actually canceled a lecture that Asan was supposed to give
in January as part of a speaker series
with 16 different events.
And while the school claiming that the decision
was made after a review revealed that quote,
The process for organizing this event did not meet the necessary level of rigor for university hosted events in the speakers series
And adding that it wasn't just Hassan nearly half of the 16 announcing events were also cancelled for the same reason
You had a lot of people expressing skepticism about those claims including Hassan himself who accused the school of canceling his lecture because of his views on Israel
Because then with all this you got experts saying that this discourse around all the events especially the one at UT raised important questions about balancing for
like when when republicans
got worthwhile scrutiny for like deliberately bringing neo-nazis and like actual, actual
anti-Zemites on the campuses, actual transphobes on the campuses. The entire Republican Party
defended those speakers and were able to basically present themselves as being pro-first amendment,
pro-free speech, and they were able to position the Democratic Party as the party against free
speech as the party for cancel culture.
They did this for years.
They never stopped canceling the left.
The Republicans, I mean, they were the number one
cancelers, but they were able to present themselves as
being in favor of free speech by defending their guys.
No matter how odious their worldview was, my worldview
is not that far off from the average Democrat.
Perhaps I have some more radical takes, but ultimately
my perspective is not that crazy, especially when it comes to the issue of Israel.
And yet Democrats are nowhere to be seen.
They're nowhere to be found.
Democrats are not defending the First Amendment, even if it's advantageous for
them, because they agree with the Republican party.
They agree with the Republican party on the issue of Israel.
It's a unit party and they find it beneficial as well to turn me into a pariah.
Very sad state of affairs.
First Amendment rights while ensuring the safety of both speakers and campuses is a
whole and a post-Currican America.
Because for years you had conservatives accusing colleges of using safety concerns as a pretense
to prevent speakers from coming to their campuses.
And actually one of the most high profile examples of that back in the day was Miley
Annapolis who's popped up in the news for different reasons recently.
Back then you had multiple college cancellations during a speaking doors in 2016 and 2017
because of safety concerns and threats of violence.
But also, with the shoot at Charlie Kirk, it shows that sometimes these threats are
actually real, especially at a time when politicization sky-high and violent rhetoric's being normalized
with the people at the very top.
And you know, since then, safety concerns have been raised by activists across the political
spectrum to cancel speaking engagements.
But then at the same time, you have free speech advocates claiming that the vast majority
of threats aren't actually credible enough to justify cancelling a speaker, arguing that
unless there's a legitimate and high likelihood of violence, campus leaders need to do everything
in their power to make these events happen.
In a warning, absent real threats, cancelling or preventing these kinds of events just feeds
the trolls and censors free speech.
And with that, you had an expert at the foundation for individual rights and expression arguing.
Ultimately, it sends a bad message to the campus community that if you complain enough
or threaten to disrupt an event you don't like, you can get your way and prevent that
event from even taking place.
And saying that has implications that go beyond that single event and can have a chilling effect.
Saying as long as that student body remains on campus, that incident is going to stick
in their minds.
And to bring it back to specifically what we're seeing with Hasan Piker right now, you
should not expect the focus to really get off of him anytime sooner at least until after
the midterms.
politicians, right-wing candidates, right-wing media, they're really trying to use him as
a boogeyman, even though he is not a politician that is running for office.
So they didn't focus on him, they'd have to focus on the fact that they enabled a monster
to be the president, who put us in a war of choice.
Yeah, I mean, he gets it.
He gets it.
That's precisely the point.
Obviously, they're not going to win any favors talking about how wonderful things have been
so far to the wonderful things they've done to the American economy that is ruining everything
and that's just scratching the surface of all the bad shit. And two, just highlighting what a
unified effort this is. You had Benjamin Netanyahu while speaking at the UN today, bringing Hassan
up. You count his friends, people like Hassan Piker, who said America deserved 9-11. America
Deserve 9-11, some friends you have.
And honestly, really all he's accomplishing is raising Hasan Piker's profile.
When you have one of the most hated and detested people in the world, someone that a lot of people look at and go,
that's a fucking war criminal denouncing you, that just seems like an endorsement.
It's weird Netanyahu did it, it's deranged, and actually funny enough,
it is going to further normalize someone that you're trying to make out to be the boogeyman.
And we're already seeing it further feed into the narrative and theories that
People are getting their instructions from Netanyahu and the Israeli government, where people posting this video and saying things like,
I think it's no longer a conspiracy theory and it is safe to infer that the anti-Hassan Piker media fixation has been in part directed from Tel Aviv.
So also as far as Netanyahu-
Michael from Pennsylvania mentioned on the Philip DeFranco broadcast.
Netanyahu, you'd probably rather people talk about this controversy and situation rather than the fact that people walked out on him at the U.S.
or with delegations leaving and Netanyahu trying to appear strong, calling them moral cowards.
Are any other moral cowards who haven't yet left this hall? Please do so now
Right, and then actually jumping from that. Let's talk about this. Mary pull
Yeah
Chelsea Manning says I'm out. All right, Chelsea Manning is free once again free at last
Chelsea was a part of the demonstrations against Benjamin and yahoo and was arrested earlier in the day
As we covered at the beginning of this broadcast
There was one other thing that I wanted to
Point your attention to everybody Chelsea Manning still an American hero every day
Okay
Michigan Senate nominee is doing these more perfect university campus tours, right?
And one of the guys that is a student at University of Michigan came up to the mic to ask a very
bad faith question.
He's wearing a Michigan Persians shirt, he's got a big cross on his chest.
Let's hear what he had to say and then let's hear what his answer was.
Thank you.
You've got to show him the shirt.
It says Michigan Persians.
I do have a question Abdul.
My cousin, my cousin was hunted in the streets of Iran by the IRGC because her job wasn't
on right. My uncle was sentenced to die, received 50 lashings by Ali Khamenei's government,
and the terror that we've experienced is insurmountable. And you can imagine our surprise as persons,
our sadness when we heard you, Abdul Ali.
I hate this fake bullshit so much. Like, by the way, he is, he knows that the crowd is
liberal, right? So he's trying to posture to a liberal crowd. He's
wearing the fucking metaglasses like this is going to go hard in
his circle, right? He's doing the classic Well, why don't you
advocate the bomb my country, my ancestral homeland, but
locally, right? Anyway, I'll do it a really good response to this
by the way. I'll do it a really good response to this. This
Weasel asked question.
But also we found more about this guy
with the pervert glasses after the fact.
It's audio tape of you saying that you didn't want to comment
on Supreme Leader Hominaze and that people in Dearborn
were sad when he died.
And I just have a simple question.
I've told, that silence had a gaping hole in our community.
And I wanna ask if you regret that silence.
I want to ask if you renounce the people that held vigils, that supported this terrorist
for all the stuff that he's done.
I wanted to ask if you stand unequivocally against the IRGC, against the Islamic Republic
of Iran that has killed 50,000 protesters of dual.
I haven't heard anything from you about the protesters of dual.
Please.
Comment crazy, but for some reason I don't think this kid's vote was ever in play.
Leftist, when you say the word, are worded.
Like 2026, don't like abortion, then don't get one.
What?
You mean to tell me that a member of the college Republicans
at University of Michigan is talking about
how he was just about to vote for Abdul El Saad,
but he's just too conflicted?
Wait a minute, college Republicans at Umich,
wait a minute, there he is in the background right there.
Wolverine's turned out for Mike Rogers, go blue.
here he is with mike roger the tailgate from roger's own com directors tweets
while getting lectured on democracy movements by a born again evangelical
christian
who is cosplayed
as the shaw
yet this guy loves democracy clearly
christian conservative in that order perjan american pro-life fascist and
threat to democracy, apparently.
I appreciate your question and thank you.
What I will tell you is this for too long and too often,
when we think about our role in the world,
we have turned ourselves into the world's policeman.
And I think what we all want, what we all need is more democracy,
more freedom in the world,
but also an understanding of what we actually can and should do with respect to that.
And here's my point.
One can disagree with the governance of a foreign country.
One can stand in solidarity with freedom and democracy movements.
But my worry is when one decides that we are going to go in and take out the leadership of a foreign government.
Because here's what happens.
A lot of times, that frustration gets used to justify corporate interests that have a real stake in the natural resources in a particular country.
Do you know what I mean?
So when it comes down to it, I will always stand for and with democratic movements, always.
But I also don't believe that we were in the right to go to war to topple the government of Iran.
It was not our responsibility to do it.
damn what now dude what now metaglasses of Iran to decide what their leadership
should look like and so while I stand with freedom and democratic movements I
also worry that once you start putting our resources toward regime change in
foreign countries more often than not the regimes that we seek to change are
Are the ones in which there is a natural resource interest and it becomes a ploy
For the interests of our corporations and that's what I worry about
He's still he's still farming it he's trying to pull the puppy eyes for mercy
Yeah, no this guy's like is a is a Mike Rogers fan and part of the college Republicans
I'm sure that you will see more of this kind of behavior later at the
speech tonight as well. I mean I'm not even, it's not even like a full blown
speech that I'm gonna be delivering. I'm just gonna be talking a little bit with
some opening remarks. Are we going now?
All right, yeah
Okay, we are gonna head out now
I'll keep playing the I'll keep playing
this playlist and
I'll see you on the other side in a second. We're gonna be traveling over to the event
And there's gonna be a Q&A portion. There's gonna be opening remarks closing remarks in a Q&A portion
And we're about to find out what the controversy is truly about.
Dana, will you vote for Abdul?
I can't be true to my values if I even consider voting for my graduates.
Yes, I'll be voting for Abdul.
Boy, Hasan Piker has the Democratic Party establishment scared for their lives.
Piker is a charismatic, public intellectual from the far left with a huge audience whose
ideas are extremely popular, free healthcare, free college, free Palestine, less American
war machine, tax the wealthy.
And because his actual ideas are very popular, his media interactions with moderate establishment
Dems can be trained, Racky, because traditional democratic leaning, liberal leaning media
like MSNBC tends to be moderate and incrementalist and committed to the current system with slight
changes while independent media, far left media like Hassan Piker, is speaking to ideas that are
popular, yet somehow seem frightening to the moderate Dems.
Democratic voters want nothing more than a pro-Palestine Democratic Party.
But that is so far very hard to get, because even though a majority of Democratic voters
are pro-Palestine and pro-limiting military aid to Israel, a majority of Democratic elected
officials are pro-Israel.
So even at MSNBC, a pro-Palestinian guest who is with the Democratic majority on this
issue, even he is treated like he's crazy.
I think there's recent interview with my friends Simone Sanders and Eugene Diggles on
their podcast Clock It did not make them look good.
This interview of a son Piper with Simone and Eugene, I need it scrubbed off the internet.
The second kind of embarrassment that I'm getting from this video, I really don't know
what Simone and Eugene thought they were doing, but it's not a conversation, it's an interrogation.
This is the moment that got a lot of black people enraged.
One example I use fairly frequently is the one that I addressed on Pod Save America as
well, the Israel's a thousand times worse than Hamas.
Facts.
Hamas was created to defend the Palestinian people from Israel who has been attacking
and imprisoning and murdering them in apartheid-like oppression for decades.
Americans started recognizing that it was a genocide about two years ago, but it has
been a genocide for decades.
Do you believe that?
Girl, what?
You don't know about the IDF?
But no, but like do you?
Yeah, I do believe that.
But no, how is this actually shocking to you?
Do you have no friends who are pro-Palestinian?
Do you not consume any analysis about Palestine?
Just how is this idea shocking to you, even if you don't agree with it?
And how do you still think that Hamas is worse than Israel?
No, for sure.
Here's the thing.
Is Hamas a religious fundamentalist operation that have engaged in violent actions?
Of course they have.
Absolutely.
But that violence is directly borne out of, and even that repression is directly borne
out of the conditions brought about by the occupation that's been going on for 80 plus
years, Hamas' violence is self-defense, and it comes in the context of dealing with a
brutal, violent, 80-year occupation.
In America, we are fed stories of Hamas' violence without also hearing of Israel's constant
attacks.
To American news consumers, it may seem like Israel is this peaceful country minding their
business when they're viciously attacked by Hamas out of nowhere, when in fact Israel
has been perpetrating apartheid and genocide on the Palestinian people for decades.
Hamas's violent actions are a response to decades of apartheid and genocide.
And not only that, but I think it's a good entry point into the conversation for many Americans
who also understand that what Israel has done is unconscionable. The genocide is unacceptable.
many of them are also now coming to the recognition that there's also been an ongoing occupation
and apartheid. And the reason why I make this intentionally provocative statement is to challenge
the previous implicit biases that many Americans have that are sympathetic to the Palestinian
plight, but not exactly understanding of why Palestinians fight back or even aware of the
internationally recognized right to resist that the Palestinian resistance has.
I know we don't want to get into like a 20-minute conversation about Israel and Gaza.
Why not? It's one of the central issues in the Democratic Party right now.
But I just want to go back to Eugene's point that he said, like, do you really believe that?
And you said yes. So do you understand that by saying that, that there are a lot of people
that hear you say that and say, one, okay, I think he's being provocative, but two,
oh my god, he's endorsing violence?
What in the Harriet Tubman are you talking about?
Sometimes oppressed people have to get violent.
You've read Black History, you know this.
I think endorsing violence is no different when people say that the Israel has the right
to defend itself.
That Israel is the most moral country in the Middle East, that it's a democracy.
It's an apartheid.
That's no different than the way that people argued.
Can I just go back?
But that's not like, I don't want it like, I'm not talking about Netanyahu and the state
of Israel.
I guess my question is, do you, it sounds to me like you are endorsing violence.
We're still on this?
Because you think it's justified on this particular issue.
And somebody would, that's how I heard it.
I know that's how other people have heard it.
And so do you understand that that's how people hear it?
And is that what you are endorsing?
So this again, goes back to the same, this goes back to the same dynamic, right?
structural violence and state violence is oftentimes made to be invisible.
That's a really important point. Violence committed by the state, by the government,
is often considered justified, even though it can be wanton. It can be aggressive. It can be
reckless. But violence by oppressed people is condemned. I wonder why the dominant society
condemns violence from oppressed people who are trying to change the society.
the whole country, for a long time, classed indigenous Americans, Native Americans as violent,
rapacious, you know, hooting, hollering, scalping monsters, right? The Cowboys and Indians was
that the Cowboys were the good guys, the Indians were the bad guys. It was the reverse, but we
were told that it was the Indians who were violent. Well, why were they violent? Because they're
taking their land. That's why they were violent. They were violently resisting, and they had a
right to do that. And if you think morally, they had a moral right to do it. People don't always
get freedom from their oppressors by asking for it nicely.
So when Israel as a state is operating its normal state function.
Oh, wow.
This is fun.
I think it's better without light, you know.
Okay.
Alright, I'm flipping right now.
Alright, everybody.
We're back.
We're live.
We're live.
We're at Cornell University on campus right now, and I'm going to do a five-minute, quick
five-minute speech, introductory speech.
I'll probably rehash some of the old hits, some of the old classics, and then there's going to be a Q&A portion
in this much talked about, much talked about speech that we're doing.
And yeah, I hope you guys can see me.
Because...
Because yeah, let's try it to see if you can see me or not.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Hey, I'm Son.
I'm Najee.
What's up?
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
How are you?
I'm all right.
Not bad.
I'm one of the organizers here, and I'm also the first Cornellian to sell to Gaza.
I just got back and I'm organizing successful events on campus this year and I'm working
as a medic in the states.
Really thankful that you came out and hope this event goes well.
So what are we, what's the vibes on campus?
There's a lot of media coverage around this.
I feel like it's definitely a little crazy.
Oh yeah, yeah.
I think a lot of people want me to be here and of course they don't want, some of the
people here they don't want me to be here as well.
you know regardless of that they have to allow you your freedom of speech and let
you talk to the people they want to hear you I mean I'll let you know the event
sold out in three hours
was the, okay, um, yes, in my pocket, okay.
Which one is white in here?
Well, wait, which one is it?
So, we have some time now.
We have some time, at least.
We're live on it, by the way, just so you know.
Oh, okay, so.
Yeah.
So, it's all good, it's all good.
Quickly run a show, if that's cool.
Uh-huh.
So, we have a copy for you, but you're gonna be up there.
So, what's gonna happen is,
There's an expressive activity statement that's read at all Cornell events that's like you have the right to speak, but the speaker has the right to speak.
The administration is going to come up and read that, and then I'm going to come up and intro the event.
And then do you want to talk about the specific queue?
Yes, so Adriana is going to be queued in by, they're going to play game hall eventually. Adriana is going to go up.
Adriana is going to say her piece.
We're going to promote our petition from Can you hold this for a second, sorry.
From there, you're going to walk out to, if you know you know, I push it to you.
I'm going to walk you up there.
You're going to go up to, there's a wooden pulpit that is close to this side of the
room.
You're going to say you're opening remarks, and then there's a chair and a table, you're
I'm gonna walk down and sit in the chair,
closest to the wooden pulpit,
and that's where the Q and A is gonna be.
Got it, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Cool, and we do have a run and show for your team
and a coffee for you.
And it's real touching for you too.
It's all good.
Is that a Cornell time?
It is a Cornell time.
Oh, good.
Yeah.
That's wonderful.
I had to rip this, I had to pander a little bit.
Seeing how much negativity is coming
from your clinical law professor,
forget his name. He went on Fox News to complain. He's like, I don't know his name either.
Yeah, he's a big anti-BDS advocate. And he's been like touring the country, trying to stamp out, you know,
legal first amendment protected speech and activism. So he was not very happy.
He said, if you want to know what 1930s Germany looks like, attended a St.Pikers speech.
That's what he said. I don't think the 1930s Germany would allow your speech on campus at all.
And also, I mean, there were people that had the same opinions that I had in 1930s Germany.
They got thrown in the concentration camps.
So, you know.
How was the, how was the write-out?
It was, it was fine. It was easy.
I don't know if you guys saw this, but Benjamin and Yahu mentioned me at the United Nations.
Yeah. I saw that.
Oh my God.
It's ridiculous.
You know, Hassan, one big thing.
I asked a bunch of people in the audience to ask you questions about Sudan.
I've been on medical missions to Sudan, Lebanon, Ukraine, the Gaza flotilla as a medic.
And I'll tell you, out of all those places, Sudan by far was the worst.
And I'm not the only person to say this.
The doctors I deployed with, they also went to Gaza and they said, Sudan in many ways
and their experience is worse than Gaza in terms of the hospital facilities, in terms
of the length it takes for trauma patients to receive care.
And it was just breaking my heart that the media is not really talking about it enough.
And I know last year in October you did a stream about Sudan.
And I think that was really beautiful, wonderful.
You did God's work with that.
And I have some Sudanese doctors and doctors who went to Sudan.
And I know you did a stream with doctors who went to Gaza last month.
Would you be interested in having Sudanese doctors on your stream?
Absolutely.
Thank you so much.
No problem.
No problem.
That would be great.
Going back to the flotilla.
I talked to some people.
I forget which group they're with, but I talked to people at the UNGA two nights ago that
are working on it.
There's some initiatives as well in terms of creating more public pressure.
There's a unique opportunity with the United Arab Emirates because they are right now obviously
in a panicked state due to the war with Iran.
And also, they are, from what I understand, much easier to criticize than Israel is really,
because they don't have the same lobby or PR initiatives.
They'll fund the NBA, they'll do sports washing, shit like that, but ultimately, I think they're
a lot more sensitive to negative PR.
So there's a real opportunity to create more pressure.
One big thing related to the flotilla, some of my comrades on the Tunisian delegation are
being held as political prisoners by the Tunisian government, simply for organizing with the
global Samoon flotilla.
Greta Thunberg, Liam Cunningham, and a few others signed a letter to free these four
political prisoners.
They're called the Samoon Four.
I don't know if you've heard about them.
No, I haven't yet.
Would you be willing to sign that letter?
Yeah, of course.
Thank you so much, Hasan.
All right, no problem.
I'm Nadia Brozolio. Yeah, I'm a recent graduate of Cornell. Now I'm back here in the states
organizing events on campus. I know some people at Princeton asked, hey, no, I know
So you helped organize the Hassan Packer event.
Oh yeah.
I'm going to ask these guys.
Wait, is it through the crowd?
You just have to let where you know.
So you're going to turn left, and then you're going to turn another left and go down to the basement.
It's a long hallway.
You can find a way to get you the other building.
No, they're not going to be out there.
Oh no.
Are you serious?
No, no, it's fine. It's fine. Hold it.
It could be like an hour.
David, other than organizing events on campus,
I'm also working as a medic here in the States, commercial EMS, and I'm working volunteer EMS 911.
I have a t-shirt up on the chairs that says, free Dr. Husam, the pediatrician who was held by Israel as a prisoner of war.
I've been really a prisoner of war. He was just kidnapped by the Israelis. So free Dr. Hussam
Free Dr. Hussam and please look into his case. Free the Samud 4
Please keep your eyes on Sudan keep your eyes on Congo and just don't don't just say free Sudan free Congo free Palestine
Make your words actionable
Yeah, yeah, this is my buddy at the GVP at the GVP demonstration. We're always at the training
Yeah, yeah, we met doing two moldoman campaign stuff. Hell yeah
Yeah, they all got they all got arrested earlier. I saw that it was a really awesome action
It was a civil disobedience on purpose to get out. Yeah walk the road. Yeah, you know
Insha'Allah we get that type of energy here at Cornell again.
Seriously.
Yeah.
What are the demands you guys are making?
It's like divestments I assume.
Yeah.
Primarily, you know, divestment from weapons manufacturers who are compliciting Israel's
genocide.
We're also talking about ICE and CBP also because we see, you know, there are kind of
terrorists in violence domestically in the US and the way that kind of Cornell operates
within the Ithaca community is pretty parasitic.
city like it doesn't really invest back into the community so it's just kind of
sucking up all of this money from Ithaca, from the students and then investing it in
foreign wars. And so we also have demands around investing in public bus services,
public education, and things like that.
Cornell pays no money in property taxes since city of Ithaca is too much to rely on.
Yeah, otherwise they'd go elsewhere right? Yeah, but it's like, I think part of our goal here is
like right fundamentally that's the the contradiction for the American working
class that we live in the state is the richest state in the history of the world
yet we choose to spend our money on brown kids and all this and it's fucked up there's
gonna be is the Q&A open to other like a like a mic where people can let
let their voices be heard and yell at me.
I was kind of excited about that.
That was not the plan.
That was not the plan.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hold on.
It was also kind of like a logistical thing, honestly.
It was just exciting for Mike, everything, too.
Fun fact, setting up an event with like 500 people
takes a lot of logistical work.
I was shocked at how quickly it sold out, it was like a 600 person weight loss, I thought
we didn't put a big effort in it.
I think it's going to be really high energy in there.
Any protests?
Yeah, theoretically there's an expressive activity zone set up on the plaza right back here for students to protest.
I haven't heard anything about it.
I said, boomer, I thought, well, yeah, the Cornelians for Israel, I saw that they gave a quote because they had invited someone who participated in the genocide in Gaza without their support on campus.
Yeah, and when asked about the inconsistency, because they were demanding that I get pulled,
they said, well, the songs in America deserve 9-11, which I apologize for, ironically enough,
for the language that I use or the words that I use, which is far worse apparently than
literally being a trigger man for the Israeli military and participating in the murder of
tens of thousands of children.
Yeah, I'm sure they'd want to have Laura Loomer here.
She said something worse.
Oh, yeah, she said America needs another 9-11.
I think that's worse.
Yeah, yeah, that's what she said.
Well, Benjamin Ninjau, the day after 9-11,
said 9-11 is good for us.
He did say that.
Yeah, and then he was like, oh, I don't mean good for us.
I mean, you know, Americans will deepen their cooperation
with us or whatever, which is crazy.
And then today at the UNGA, he's like,
The song Piper said, I'm here, it's our 9-11.
Can you imagine that?
It's like, man, you have said right after 9-11,
way worse shit, what are you talking about?
So, you know.
They, we caught him like putting the most insane
flyers up on trees.
And I was like seeing half of them, and I'm just like,
this isn't even like, this is just kind of based.
Like, I don't know.
Oh wait, I got a picture.
The other thing is like, I got a 9-11 first responder
elected into office, just cycle, Adam Halloween,
and they keep calling him a fucking terrorist.
That's called something crazy.
He was literally like, crazy.
Like we fought to get 9-11 versus ponders,
adequate health care for years and years
as the same guys who now exploit the memory of 9-11,
the victims of 9-11, and you're like,
oh, you guys love it, you love it.
It's like, no, we don't, dickhead.
I didn't vote against giving health care,
the adequate health care dollars
to the people who literally were pulling people out
of the rubble on 9-11 nine times.
That's what Mike Rogers did.
Nine times he voted against giving adequate funding
to 9-11 versus funders.
And then this motherfucker has the audacity
to be like, oh, you're the memory of 9-11.
So you've literally betrayed the victims of 9-11.
I always feel that as a New Yorker.
It's an insane contradiction.
It's so nasty.
But you know, I'm such as paul if it's
It is what it is.
It's a good one.
All right, so we're just going to be waiting here for 14 more minutes.
Can I have a nice breakfast over there?
No, I didn't eat here at all.
I just waited over there.
We ordered food.
We're back.
We're back. It's still empty, but there's people in the line outside still.
So yeah, okay. Yeah, it's probably slow moving. Yeah, I have my phone on do not
So you walk now with Adriana then
Sure, yeah, my name is Adriana bank
I'm originally from New York City, senior here at Cornell, president of students for
Justice in Palestine at Cornell, organizer of the Students Not Bombs campaign, which
is what we got going on, trying to do a renewed call for digestment here at Cornell.
So we'll see, second student in Tifada coming soon.
What's up with the students they got that are being sued now, I think, by the victim?
Oh yeah.
They were raped the thing that happened.
I know.
Yeah.
there was a really horrific gang rape case here at Cornell. You can read the details online,
they're absolutely horrifying. The fraternity culture here at Cornell, the rape culture here
at Cornell, you see this at like a lot of top schools. It's really truly disgusting. Yeah. So
she's suing the fraternity, the members, a couple of other places. Yeah. And the punishment was
There's only one of the perpetrators got expelled and then the rest that's right
I think two expelled a number of them have graduated a number of them are seniors
They just have to write essays. Yeah. The funny part about this, so this was around the same time where a bunch of our folks got suspended
Yeah, and some got arrested. You must have done something much worse than that. Well, it's funny
I was one of the people who got suspended and arrested. I got like evicted from my dorm
I lost a year of schooling.
I'm supposed to be a senior, but I'm a junior.
I remember sitting in those meetings with,
her name is Christina Liang.
She's the head of the Office of Student Conduct.
I forget what the exact office is called,
but I remember sitting on Zoom meetings
because I had a person on Grotto on campus.
I remember just this one time,
because I think the gang rape that just happened
and just got in public,
and I just like, you know,
I remember just like going into her about it, so I was like, you have arrested me, suspended
me, evicted me, banned me from campus because I'm an immediate threat to campus for protesting
weapons manufacturers.
The student body have voted, Cornell divest from, but you're allowing a group of rapists
to come here.
And it was, it was...
And they not even made a public comment, like the university response has been appalling
genuinely.
of their priorities. It does, 100%. Their priorities are not protecting students. I think that's
part of why. Not to bring it back to the campaign, but students not. We're like, focus on the student
body. We are your constituency and you're not hearing us on a number of issues.
Unfortunately, the Romoville electoral politics is no different as far as not listening to the
That's true, that's true, it's very true, we're seeing some change, some new tricks.
Yeah, a little bit, but they'll never let me live it down, so it's crazy, like I'm supposed
to be going to Australia, they're not trying to stop me from, I'm not sure if I'm sure
I'm going to go to Australia.
That's one of my god, because I already got banned from the UK.
I already got banned from the UK.
Wow.
Oh, you just signed?
I did sign.
I was going to say do something with a comment about it.
Oh, yeah, maybe.
Yeah, no, I am a little bit worried about that like it's gonna seep into Canada somehow, you know that brave Mark Carney
Talking about mill powers, I don't have to rise up against the America
We'll see American Palace vernacular. Yeah, yeah, that's Mark's carny
He talks a big game, we'll see. He hasn't really done much.
I remember that one big speech that he gave everyone was hightening it up.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. When he said like the middle powers need to rise up against America,
we're more powerful together, we're more powerful in the United, all this stuff,
and then he just didn't follow through on that even a little bit.
bit. We're starving Cuba right now. They can still be sending oil to Cuba if you
refuse to do so. It's a great hypocrisy, a great shame. Yeah. Yeah. I'm hoping I get
to ask you about Cuba. It's one of my questions if you run out of time. I'll burn through
the questions. Okay. Shhh. Bring on two questions. I'll take one more to answer. Yes.
Thanks again for coming though.
Of course, thank you for having me.
I'm always down.
And I'm glad that, I mean, this is a private institution,
like University of Washington can't sit in my speech,
and that's a public university.
That was their reason.
They just I didn't give reason and it was because they said like oh we didn't do the proper due diligence in the way that we structure this lecture
So there's some bullshit right like it was very clear like JNS wrote an article about it
There were legislators like local local lawmakers were pressuring the campus and the thing that I get very frustrated by is like
Republicans as we all know are the number one cancer culture warriors, right so successfully
basically banning CRT, banning professors,
banning certain types of education.
They're literally doing that directly in Florida right now.
All the while, throughout the 2010s, into the 2020s,
they were able to carefully design manufactured outrage
around bringing actual neo-Nazis,
like vicious anti-Semites, horrible transphobia,
like Milo Annapolis, now deported.
These people on the college campuses,
With the hopes that there would be pushback from student groups, so they could concoct this narrative that it was the woke left that was like, you know, canceling people on campus, canceling speeches on campus.
And the Republican Party will go on TV and defend all of these speakers. They eat down to Richard Spencer, right? Like, you had actual Republicans defending neo-Nazis like Richard Spencer, like, about, self-about neo-Nazis.
this is the reason why in that environment people started people started
believing that it was the case was a leftist thing that that we were the ones
who hate free speech like if you ask the average person right now you just pulled
someone off the side of the street and you're like who do you think out of the
two different political flags in this country like who do you think is more
invested in doing cancel calls, they'd say the left, the wokes.
Meanwhile, while all of this is happening, it's mostly led by a Republican,
but Democrats are also leading into it as well with my presence on college campuses.
And now a single Democrat with the exception of Pramila Jayapal with UW has spoken out against it.
In Texas, Henry Cuellar, who's the most right-wing congressperson,
He aligned with Ken Paxton, an attorney general running
for Senate, the governor, Greg Abbott, and also Ted Cruz
in demanding the cancellation of my speech.
So there's bipartisanship there.
There's obviously bipartisanship when
it comes to the issue of Israel, which we'll talk about,
obviously.
But it blows my mind that Democrats
can't even do something that's beneficial for them
to come across like they are in favor of free speech,
the First Amendment, even if it's to showcase
the hypocrisy of the republicans, right?
Like they just as easily be like,
these are the guys who said for years and years
they were anti-Kist culture, look at them now,
they're flailing around hysterically.
But they won't do it.
Because it's the same with the Iran War.
There's a reason why the response
from the National Party was so timid.
You know
Which the authorization just got I believe got signed off with the deciding vote being John Fetterman today
Yeah, I mean we know he doesn't care about children hospitals because he's in favor of Israel, but like
You would assume that he at least cares about the children's house in Pennsylvania.
Right, no.
Okay, I think I'm going to poke out and tell, do we want to start at six thirty? Do we want to poke out?
We will see.
I can dig a bit. I'm going to make the payment and then we'll be back.
I didn't see, last time I checked, I expected to be a full house but people are still tricking
one and I guess.
They'll come in last month.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We even have overflow.
We even have overflow.
Was it really good?
Mine?
Yeah.
Octacon.
Really cool.
Yeah.
Like, maybe we were selling.
Oh, okay.
Come on.
I've heard that one enough.
Oh, my God.
At the encampments, people couldn't figure out my name.
And folks know I'm Turkish.
They were like, oh, Ataturk.
And I was like, that's fucking wild.
Yeah, there's some drama in the Hearts of Iron community
right now because of that.
Someone joined their discord, the Hearts of Iron discord,
with the Ataturk PFB, and they banned them.
So all the Turks were obviously very pissed off.
They didn't really fuck you.
And they had to apologize for it.
Oh my god.
Can you even play as up to Turkin Hearts at Iron Form again?
I don't know.
I don't know, but what I would say is once again, they're coming after the Turks.
Turks are constantly under attack.
Even these attacks against me is because of my Turkish background. I know it.
You know?
They're jealous of it, isn't they?
Yeah, that's why they lie and say it's great.
These are slanderous lies. We do not allow them on this broadcast. Don't worry, you're in a safe space.
Oh my god. Oh my god.
Oh, it wasn't. It was Crusader Kings. It wasn't Hearts of Iron.
I don't know what that is.
24, No Step Back, Best DLC.
Yeah.
Oh my god.
You also did the Netanyahu, did the terrorist pager attack, pulled out a pager on that?
Starting on time at 6.30.
I think you did that before too.
Yeah, it's pretty fast.
Yeah, and people came on time. We told them to.
Let's fucking go.
Okay, so can I pass you my phone?
Oh, I'm holding, okay.
Just because I don't want to hold it.
Okay, no, no, no, it's fair, it's fair, it's fair.
People in the audience are watching the stream right now. It's just really funny.
I had someone say like, Adriana, you should talk louder. Like people can't hear me right now.
I was like, wait, what? They're like, yeah, we're watching it right now.
I was like, why aren't you watching it? It's about to come out.
It's about to come out. It's boring back here.
Yeah, yeah. It's a pre-show, you know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh my God.
There's this dipshit that went up to Obdolel said and then more perfect university, right?
they were doing and he was like he's like oh why do you why do you love the
Islamic Republic of Iran like I was about to vote for you all this shit and he
had a really thoughtful response next day he's on the Wilcane show he was a
turns out he was a operative for for my carers oh really yeah yeah yeah I'll
pray with honesty you know the AI ads that he's fucking putting out there
who looks so bad.
Oh, about a deal.
The ones who raised Jack?
The ones who put him out.
The one that Mike Rodgers is putting out.
Oh, my God.
In New York State, there's like a whole thing about AI and politics,
and I feel like people are not abiding by it.
You have to, like, have a crazy disclosure, I think, or something,
and, like, people aren't...
Like, there's all these, like,
anti-Cathy hopeful ads,
which I'm not even a fan of Cathy hopeful,
but, you know, they're putting her with Zoran and being like,
Oh, she's a radical communist. I wish I wish our governor was a radical conscience.
In shalom one day, I'm going to Taffy Hocal Marxism.
Carl.
Just give it to her.
Carl!
Carl!
Give it to her.
I don't believe it.
She's going to, yeah.
She's going to abolish the commodity form.
That's her platform, that's her campaign.
Well, we'll hear
Yeah, we have some seats like you'll see there's like four rows. Yeah, they have like reserve signs
They're everywhere else is full. So you'll see that DC. Yeah
Yeah
Yeah, they're pretty central. Yeah
I think I could like if we do it this way like I can walk for song like where do you want to stand?
and Hussach walking up like in front of him and behind him.
We'll three wheel it.
OK.
Because you just follow us down, like I'll walk him,
and then he'll keep on going to the pulpit,
and then I'm going to like.
I mean, whatever gets the best R for you.
Oh, did you want to get like up front and get like down?
Like that could be, that could be.
In direction.
Yeah, give it everything you need.
OK.
I think it'll be fine.
Sure.
Thank you.
OK, they don't want to hear this bullshit anymore.
No, it's cool, dude.
They're doing it, they're doing like a pre-speech speech about how I should be able to speak.
That's literally it. They're like talking about the university free expression policy.
That's so funny. They have a quarter of a protest area.
Yeah, that's their new thing. And it's been true for the last couple of years that you can only protest on campus at certain hours at certain times.
Which is really awesome.
And that seems, um...
God's pretty ridiculous.
Seems to be fostering great discourse.
Really good political culture.
Yeah.
I assume it's a direct way to stop the encampments.
Yeah, I think they call it a national policy.
Can I get one of those?
Yeah, just...
Sorry.
I had like two cigarettes before this.
He popped them right before you were supposed to get here,
and then I'm calling you and I'm like,
Okay, this thing is that heavy.
I appreciate it.
This espresso martini for you.
Okay.
You can give us all.
Cross your teeth?
No.
Come on, take them off.
Take them off.
Push the teeth for me.
Where do I go?
Follow me.
I got you.
We're gonna like,
we're gonna go out
and then go straight down
and then just see the place there.
Thank you.
Pretty good.
I'm a little tired.
Yeah, if you want to be a bit more of an Adriana speaking.
By students at Cornell, we must understand our university's
complicity in Israel's genocide.
That this school is both invested in and designed
weapons that are used to displace, murder,
and destroy the lives of innocent Palestinians.
At the same time, this university
stars its own community.
Cornell pays nothing in property taxes
to the city of Ithaca, and the result
is an underfunded Ithaca School District.
It is our responsibility as students of this school
to call out this necrony and do something about it.
From October 16th to October 18th,
the Cornell Board of Trustees will be on campus
for their annual fall meeting.
We have a little chant we like to say in our movement
about what we do when our demands aren't met.
And for context, what we demand is digesting.
What do we want?
Our ask of you today is to pull out your phones and sign the Students Not Bombs petition.
Student organizers will be walking around with a QR code for you to scan, or you can
type into your browser dup.sh slash Students Not Bombs.
This is how our campaign builds its base, and how we show for now that we are a massive
of students, families, alumni, workers, faculty, and if it's the locals.
So sign that shit right now or it's not my first not coming out.
Thank you very much.
Free Dr. Hussam.
Free Palestine.
Before we begin, a quick note that was on is live streaming, best event on this Twitch
channel.
Audience members should be aware that your voices and likenesses may be audible or visible
throughout the event.
Now we've all signed a petition.
It's time for our main event.
It's time for our main event.
Let's give a warm welcome to Cassane Parker!
Yeah!
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
Woo, one more time!
Oh, my God!
Wow. That was a much warmer reception than I thought it was going to be receiving today,
especially considering the knee of frenzy around my piratocin. I can't remember if I
So they bought a Cornell Tide for the candidates.
One of your clinical law professors went on Fox News.
He spends most of his time fighting against boycott,
divestment, and sanctions all around the country.
He said this would be akin to a Nazi rally, which is insane.
And he said it on Fox News, which is the Nazi network.
So I guess they were like, oh, great, this is Sonia.
But I'm here to talk to you guys and try
to keep it as short and as sweet as possible.
The introduction, you guys can hear me, right?
I don't know if I need to, like, be an intern here.
That's a great question.
You're good.
OK.
I'm here today to talk to you about a bunch of different topics
We're obviously going to be talking about Israel as well,
but I'm also very good at this.
Times have gotten very strange.
A new political reality is shaking all around us.
But that means that there are also opportunities for us
to organize, changes for us to push,
for rather than political opportunities.
Through an electoral system that, right now,
is going through a transformation.
Some of you may be familiar with some of the transformation
that at least my community and many of you probably have
also been hard of.

I'm Humbley, the New Jersey body of Lisa, the show, okay?
I'm Humbley, here we go, Dennis, back in the day,
we've been doing this all around the country.
And let me tell you,
both the Republicans and the Democrats
will never let us live and die.
Because they hate democracy at the end of the day,
but we are willing to fight for it.
That's right.
I don't know how to explain this to you, but you understand.
But what I want to leave part with you is that we in this movement are making these changes
and we are going to force our voices to be heard, no matter what.
No matter how much they go after us, no matter how much they slander, smear,
hear and tell people that we're wrong, we know we're cherry with a moral majority on our side.
History will not reflect kindly on those who oppose us, and we will make these changes happen.
This means demanding an end to the endless doors, an end to profiteer economic healthcare,
and an end to a rule by people who put the interests of capital over the interests of working class.
And in statements like this, the true expression of democracy that has Washington terrified,
that has Magna, terrified, these people hate movements who try to control our lives and
are most afraid of popular action.
They're afraid of democracy.
They're afraid of all of us.
They're afraid of people.
They're afraid of the simple fact that there are more of us than there are of them.
always have been and they're always building.
There are more include decent people with moral
communication who fight it unfathomable with the wealthiest
nation on earth chooses to spend its billions on building
our schools overseas rather than building schools in our
neighborhoods.
Time people who can't understand why, in the wealthiest nation on earth, there are hundreds
of thousands of people who go to sleep outside every single night and millions more who live
page after page. Hard work of people, frustrated, in an honest day of labor, delivering packages,
cleaning counters or teaching children
is no longer enough to take care of family or own a home.
All while, the world's wealthiest man
sits around between racist creeds and unplugged jokes
as others grow his net worth into the trilliness.
I should add, as many of you probably already know,
that none of this is an accident.
The inequality is the design of our system,
When you see broken-down towns in a state of misrepair
or potholes that never get filled
or homeless people suffering in the streets,
remember, this is the design of our system.
It's not the moral failing of the individual,
but of an entire architecture,
the ultra-rich sticking their hands in the pockets
of everyone else.
Just as every person who has no shelter
is a policy failure, every billionaire
is too a policy failure.
And every congressperson who's refused to change these policies have failed you, have
failed all of us.
They've placed other interests above the people's.
I say no more and we say no more.
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Look, I've traveled all across the country, and one of the reasons why I decided to place
maybe a little bit more faith in electoralism after many, many years of simply criticizing
it from the bottom. It was because I went to the stop all the garky rallies. I went
to ice out of LA protests. I went to protests in Minneapolis. They were able to successfully
push back the Gestapo force that is ice through demonstration. It was not the leadership that
was able to stop what ice was doing. It was the people.
And in that experience, I learned something.
Normally, as I attended many student new campus all around the country,
there's a lot of young people, right?
People like yourselves.
But this time there was something different.
There were a lot of old people at these protests as well.
And these people were bad.
They weren't just mad at Donald Trump, though.
They were also looking at the Democrats as well.
They were saying, no more to Trump as a vote.
They were also saying, no more to do nothing to Democrats.
That's when I realized it's time to seize control
over the system a little bit more and get people elected
in the positions of power.
Now, obviously, this is just the beginning of the movement.
And we are only going to continue growing from this point on.
We will compound on those victories, just like we did with Zoran to the entire NRC-GSA slate all the way across the country.
And there will always be a force of backlash.
But when I'm in rooms like this one, I feel confident, I feel a little bold in it.
And perhaps that's the precise reason why there's so much pushback to my attendance on college campuses,
where people slander and smear and say heinous lies, claiming I'm anti-Semitic, and Islamist, jihadist,
And then sometimes they show naked photos of me and the Jumbotron man.
That one for me for a loop too, I was like, that's, I mean, I look great, right?
You're on the one hand saying I'm just dangerous terrorist, and then, you know, you've got the largest endeavor to end Dallas, Texas going, oh my.
And then, of course, earlier today, perhaps one of the most evil people on the planet,
international war criminal intervention in the armed world.
I'm not about the fans of TV in this room, I say it.
Well, yeah, a testament to how much we've evolved as a society,
International War Criminal,
child wearer Benjamin Nintyado mentioned me
and my friendship with Zoran
at the United Nations General Assembly.
He said this guy's on,
he said America deserve 9-11.
Something I apologize for all the way back to 2019
is the language I use, I was talking about blowback,
you already heard it a million times over.
Well on 9-12-2001, Benjamin Nintyado said,
when asked about 9-11, he said,
this is good for us. It's real. Look it up. It literally says this is good for us. And
they quickly stop himself and go, I mean, this will deepen our security relationship
with the United States of America. It is that hypocrisy that I can't stand. The idea that
Cornelians from Israel could invite an Israel-occupied forced soldier, terrorist, someone who's
participated in an organization that is responsible for the murder of tens of thousands of children
that can come on campus and seek on multiple occasions, and that same exact organization
can turn around and say, well, the songs that America deserved 9-11, that's far worse.
You came on the one hand, say, words of violence, and then bring a triggering of Benjamin Eniano
to college campus.
What message does that send to the student body?
If your goal is to make sure honest discourse thrives on campus, if your goal is to make
If your goal is to protect the safety and security of all students, you have to make
sure all students are a part of that equation.
You have to make sure that Arab and Muslim students are a part of that equation as well.
Anyway, in other human aid sessions about the start, so I'll leave you with these party
words.
Regardless of what they say, there booze me nothing, for I have seen what makes them cheer.
And together, we will become unbalanced, unbossed, and undeniable.
Thank you.
I don't know how long I've been in five minutes, but...
Perfect, perfect timing.
Hasan, thank you for being here. Thank you for trekking up to Ithaca, New York.
This is going to be interview at 8, session, you know, you can mention this in your speech,
but why do you think that you as an individual have been receiving so many attacks from the political mainstream
mainstream on both sides in recent weeks and months,
and where do you see this new kind of culture for cutting?
Yeah, I think part of this is a disciplinary operation.
Israel enjoyed tremendous support from both parties
and from mainstream media for almost 80 years
of its entire existence.
And that's now changing.
It's changing as a direct consequence of its rose actions
and Gaza, heinous war crimes that many of you have seen
and can never unsee.
And on top of that, it's also, as I like to believe,
the arrogance, the hubris demonstrated
by the envoys of Israel in Western society.
For far too long, people have seen parents
trying to find their children under rubble,
under 2,000 non-bombs that we sent to Israel,
that we paid for with our tax dollars.
And then you go on CNN and Jay Chapper has
Jonathan Kukrius or whatever the fuck his name is,
you know, rigor, brick-a-peer,
adro-general of the Israeli-occupied forces.
Go on television and contextualize that violence.
And then, demand the silencing, cancellation,
and de-platforming of all who opposed this violence.
And I think that's precisely the reason why
there was this seismic shift, partially because
of the steadfast nature of the Palestinians, who
sometimes in their last moments tried
to show the rest of the world their demise,
the atrocities, what was going on.
But then also the steadfastness of people like yourselves, students, who were punished
itself, suspended, you never let up, you never gave up, you never gave in, regardless of
what the consequences were, because you understood the severity of the crisis, and we were able
to break through.
Now, there's still obviously this residual anger,
regardless of this massive sea change
in American society and the Western world.
And I think this is the last gasp of a dying movement.
It was Elon Poppe who said that this is the end of Zion.
And I don't think he's being too hopeful when he says that.
I think that is the reality, that is what will happen.
And I think those who support Israel,
those who are in support of Israel,
don't want to recognize that reality.
So they keep going back to the old ways of defending Israel
by constantly calling its opponents anti-Semitism.
But because they can't silence every single person,
They've identified some people that they consider to be movement leaders.
I don't think I am one, but that is just the way that the media likes to present the narrative.
And that is the reason why there's this discipline of moderation in the case,
because they know they've lost the battle, so they're just swinging one of the bill of offenses at this point.
I think relating to that, you know, we've seen this massive change in public opinion,
especially in the United States over the last three years.
And I'd like to say that the student movement had a lot to do with that.
And I think when people come to me and they say,
what is the student movement achieved?
Where has the university divested from Israel?
Are success going to be seen in the American public?
And I was wondering how kind of you see like the 2023-2024 student debottos
role in their public life.
Yeah, I mean, I was, I went to the UCLA to do encampments, and look, I participated in
protest movements for the last decade or so, and I had never seen such a well-oiled machine.
I mean, you had protest marshals that were making sure that educators and al-saghis weren't
coming into the encampments to start stuff, but then of course the media would come in
to come in and use that to claim that, you know,
Jewish students were rewilding, that Jews were bullshit.
There were Jewish students in the encampments.
Some of them were leading these protest movements, right?
And I could not believe how off-face the media coverage was,
and how deliberate it was to smear and slander
kind-hearted students like yourselves who valiantly
were trying to address the most significant crisis
of our time.
But yes, as far as the attitude should, there have been some marginal gains in terms of
symbolic victories, the symbolic recognition of Palestinian statehood that frustrates Israel,
you know, symbolic sanctions on the West Bank that are not comprehensive enough, but at
least as a good start.
And I guess consequentially here in the United States of America, we have now, for the first
I remember, and this is remember Israel's biggest benefactors, biggest defender on the planet, the hegemon, right?
You now have politicians who are outwardly defeated and embargoed on Israel, not just
stopping aid from going to Israel with no offences, defensive weapons, distinctions, as though that distinction matters at all.
It's not like we're giving Hamas an iron dome, you know, which we should have said that before.
You know, sell both sides, you can't sell the both sides of the conflict, you can't lose.
But in any case, all of this is happening for the first time ever, and I think that's why there are a lot of people who have enjoyed unlimited support from both sides of the political spectrum,
who are now, for the first time ever, realizing that the societal shifts are going to be to political shifts.
And that was the other thing that I wanted to participate in, to make sure that this wasn't just an attitude change that was happening,
but that this attitude change was also leading to political change.
And it is going to be a political change, I think, in the United States of America.
And that's why they're worried.
Yeah, I mean you mentioned a number of socialist candidates for Congress who won recently the
La Cura, some of their valvettes, or at least a Villa Chivalrier, and all these candidates
were really explicitly on pro-Palestine platforms.
And I guess one question, you know, I know you said you're not a leader for movement,
but where do you kind of think DSA and the American Socialist Movement goes from here?
How do you build upon these recent victories and kind of learn from these areas where we have
we have yet to see after policy change?
Yeah, I think, I mean, what, there's
always going to be growing pains, right?
Our elected representatives are sometimes
going to have to play ball at the opposing side.
And there are definitely areas of criticism for them as well.
But I think in the interim, the goal
is to continue marching in large,
to enhance enough numbers that we are basically
undeniable that we can activate everywhere all at once if necessary
and be that difference in the electoral cycle that's done
that Doran Ockers can use as his home address, but it's certainly beyond that
to consistently apply pressure on our elected representatives
or even offer them the courage that they might need at times as a show of force.
And after that, I think we just continue compounding on those victories to continue stirring more political power.
Because when you're lonely in Congress and you can't really caucus with others,
or if you're closest allies or a part of the Congressional Progressive Caucus,
which we all know are not exactly very economy, any of these issues, they're not very progressive at all.
I mean, I think Josh Scott was a part of the congressional progressive caucus at some point,
if I'm not mistaken.
He is not exactly progressive, right?
But basically, the more political power we build in Washington, D.C.,
the more involved in our electives can get.
My goal is to also push the envelope and expand the permission structure
structure on what can be said. I'll go on, you know, media opportunities and talk about
American imperialism, which unfortunately is a conversation that many Americans refuse
to have or refuse to even entertain. Nobody likes America being held up to their face
as I've come to learn over these years. But the role that I see myself playing in my community
is just that, to continue expanding, and to get closer and closer to the truth of American
exceptionalism, American imperialism, with the hopes that more and more Americans come
from that recognition that this endeavor, these wars for profit and plunder, are exhausting
all of our productive output, all of our resources and our tax dollars, and that's precisely
is the reason why there's so many crises here at home
that we are seemingly never solving.
There's an opportunity cost.
There's a finite amount of resources.
And if we're using all of that so that our handful
of petro-capitalist metafiles in the Epstein-Plavis
can have a better return on their investment,
then we're not going to spend any of those resources
on building roads, bridges, schools, hospitals,
of the well-being station on Earth,
I think that is a message that is resonating
with a lot of Americans, and we're
going to continue pushing that line,
and we're going to continue organizing around that line
as well.
Yeah, one thing that you mentioned earlier,
I'm calmly referring to Congress, New Jersey's
Gulf District, where I actually understand this thing,
you bring in, you bring in a misplosion of health care,
not bonds.
And I think that's exactly the kind of positive messaging
that we are trying to have here at Cornell,
the students' platforms, right?
See, Cornell's priorities are not
a student body or not the ethical community
and are instead these kind of corporate structures
of profit that perpetuate genocide abroad.
But I wanted to tap into one thing that you said just now,
which is kind of how you see your role in the movement.
With this kind of recent success of DSA
propelling that organization as the limelight,
with all of this press that you're getting,
how do you kind of see your role as an agitator,
as a propagandist for the socialist movement?
And I think something that we often talk about on the left
is the kind of dirt that the leftist political ecosystem
online, especially in terms of like people
who can speak for the movement, persons who see the right way
and they have a friendship here and all these people.
So how do you as a movement develop more gossams?
Great question.
I think, I mean, I don't have a really good answer for that.
because I see a metric ton of shit I take on a daily basis.
I wish I wasn't as lonely, it would be very nice.
The problem is, the right is, they're very well organized,
they're a part of a follow-up machine.
And also, more importantly perhaps, the right independent media ecosystem
is not antagonistic to the Republican Party.
Their goals are directly aligned.
One example I always point to is with Charlie Kirk, who obviously was a lackey for the party
of the party at Aberadjic, and he spent a good deal of time constantly talking about revelations
in the M.C. files until it became a political problem for Donald Trump.
And I remember, clearly, he had a phone conversation with Donald Trump, and Donald Trump told him,
told him to stop talking about the F.C. files. He went on this program the next day and said,
I talked to my friends in the administration, I'm done talking about the F.C. files. That was
a perfect demonstration of the role they can play. Even if this was an issue that was nearing
dear to his department, even if this was something that he wasn't simply advancing because he thinks
It's good for the political project that they were designing.
It didn't matter.
Whereas the issue that we have on the left,
and it's ironic because I've talked about this extensively
when CNN and MSNOW, all these other outlets
were looking for a Joe open of the left.
And they were like, you know the Joe open of the left?
You like the work out.
I was like, that's not how it is worse.
But OK, fine.
And I kept telling them, I have an antagonistic relationship
with the Democratic Party, right, independent, truly,
not just independent and name only,
and that is precisely the reason why
our uphill climb is far steeper
than what Republicans have to go through,
where all they have to do is get money
from the same exact billionaires
that also donate to the party
and then say the exact same talking points
that are coming down from the Heritage Foundation,
the American Enterprise Institute,
and all these other think tanks like the Manhattan Institute,
and there is this messaging discipline
that you see from Fox News all the way
to the lowest level independent contractor on YouTube.
We don't have that on the left.
So what we have to do is lean into a true grassroots movement.
And in some respects, I think that makes us more resilient.
I mean, if I didn't have my community
after receiving all of these attacks,
I probably would not be able to continue doing what I'm doing.
But it's entirely backed by the people, right?
So I think we just have to continue
focusing on building these networks
and hope that there are newer entrepreneurs that
come out of them.
And also lean into organizations like the Democratic
Socialists of America to also try and participate
in building these networks to hire people
with the express purpose of communicating the goals of this organization, rather than, you know, allowing co-chairs to speak to the entire organization with sufficient media training, not saying anything about DSA, by the way.
I like all of those guys, but it's good to have someone whose job is entirely designed around communicating these talking points, and I think we're getting there.
Like I said, these are growing pains.
This is a relatively new movement.
If you look back to 2016 when Bernie Sanders
ran this insertion of socialist platform
against Hillary Clinton, the number of self-identifying
socialists or the number of youths being members of the DSA
was miniscule.
I think it was like 15,000 or something like that.
Now it's 120,000 youth mayhemers to become
of the largest socialist organization
in the United States of America.
Wow!
Woo!
And we're gonna keep going with those numbers, you know?
And obviously, electoralism is one vehicle for that as well.
Switching topics a little bit, but, you know,
anyone who's watching this stream,
anyone who's on the court man that you were chatting
at the vestibule, I know you mentioned Cuba.
And I wanted to touch on that as well.
I think a lot of us would love to hear about your personal experience in Cuba and the kind of people that you talked to there, specifically what it was like being in a country that's been under such a brutal economic siege from the entire Unival War.
Yeah. When I landed in Cuba, we won an humanitarian trip with numerous organizations, some of which
are under investigation by the federal government currently, because they would never let a
good deal un-punish these fascists of the Trump administration. When we landed, I was
taking back how beautiful Cuba is. But also, very quickly, I saw such devastating poverty
And it was man-made.
Now the Republicans or the American government would say, oh, it's a byproduct of communism.
It was central planning.
That's the reason why there's so much destruction in Cuba.
But no, it was man-made at the other direction.
It was our fault.
Cuba's an island nation that is 19 miles off the coastline of the largest imperial hegemon that has ever existed.
And unfortunately, because of that, because of that reality,
they have been successfully strangled since the inception of the Cuban Revolution,
which wasn't even a socialist revolution initially.
It was a national revolution. It was a negrarian revolution.
And then it took on a communist ideological life on its own,
partially because of America's actions immediately after.
And it's only gone worse.
And it was a horrifying experience
to see such systemic cruelty and to be
able to face the victims of it all.
And if you were to ask every single American, with maybe the exception of, you know, Cuban
Americans living in Florida, most of them would be horrified by what we're doing, but
most are oblivious.
They're kept in the dark.
And it goes on.
It's just something that we don't even consider.
I mean, I think it was Donald Trump at UNGA who was asked about what's going on in Cuba.
He literally said, oh, I don't know anything about that.
You got to ask Marco.
Marco, he's the angel again.
And I find that level of abject cruelty so evil,
just it's not even an afterthought for our president.
The starvation, the systematic starvation,
the destruction of the energy grid,
and a man-made blockade of all energy, all oil and gas
going into the silent of the 90 million people with children,
babies in hospitals, and it's not even an afterthought for him.
And that's just how the machine continues, you know?
But I do recommend everyone to go in and see Cuba for yourselves.
I mean, it's beautiful.
They're incredibly resilient people.
But once you go, they transform you for sure.
You will definitely start thinking about America
very differently after experiencing it.
I'd like to sort of switch topics again,
but it's also talking about something
that you kind of directly experienced
and known as noted adjunct cruelty.
We see all these things that America
is responsible for abroad.
We talk about the Middle East, we talk about Latin America,
but even at home, under the fascist Trump administration,
you see the overreach of ISIS and CPP,
and I'd like to know for our Cornell audience,
part of our demands as a campaign is for ICCBP to no longer recruit on campus, because that's right, they currently do.
Cornell Fair Services allows ICCBP to host events where they're directly funneling Cornell students into this pipeline of deportation and violence.
I mean, if you got a Cornell education and you fucking work at ICE, and you change your loser,
like you're signing up first at a college, you're really rich! Seriously!
What ways to go from non-illegimentary to signing up as a guy next to you is to get laid.
Like, there's no, you can't breathe.
I was like, oh, I saw it, you know, it's like a fucking B-cell.
And you have to sit there, like, I paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to go here,
and now I'm working for the Gustapo.
You've got to be extra racist at that point, I feel like.
Yeah, I think you're even going, um, I wanted to...
Sorry, I started to transition from that, you know?
I wanted to ask specifically about your experience at Delaney Hall.
I was there this summer, I'm from New York City, so I went up to Delaney Hall and having these direct physical confrontations with vice-agents, seeing exactly what this violence looks like on the ground, I should ask you about that experience, if you could expand on the integration between the state and the U.S.
Yeah, so look, I've, you know, I've been shot at by cops pretty much all around the country at this point from my own back out in Los Angeles to Minneapolis.
You know, I've tasted the tear gas in numerous countries from France to all over the, all over the United States.
I mean, it's oftentimes the exact same experience, right?
You have good, kind, hard-hearted people who see right from wrong, who recognize their neighbors are being kidnapped unjustifiably and broad daylight.
You see them getting shot at, sometimes with, you know, lethal arms, and being killed in the middle of the street.
And you find it unconscionable, and then you want to protest against it, you want to impede these activities, and you want to do what's right.
especially if you go to college and you're learning about historic events that are not
that far off from what we're experiencing currently and you think to yourself, what
would I do back then? Well, you know, you're doing it right now. And I mean the brutality
of the suppression that comes from the state against these sorts of totally moral and totally
justifiable actions is, I guess, expected. But like I said earlier in my speech, it does
work. If it didn't work, it wouldn't try to suppress it, right? Same with the like,
terrorism as well. If it didn't work, it wouldn't spend $70 million to try to make sure that
Uncle Ozilian doesn't get elected, doesn't, you know, win his primary mission. So the
But at the end of the day, even the Trump administration had to retreat from Minneapolis.
And that was because of the demonstrations that was in place, that was because of I SWATCH.
That was because the people of Minneapolis from regular workers, even small business
owners actually, they got together and protected their community.
So that should give everyone confidence that we have the numbers, and when we are united
and we demonstrate, we can, at least in the interim, still successfully push back against
these kinds of fascist developments.
And I think on that note that we have numbers, there are a number of people in this room
from the Cornell community.
If you have any parting thoughts for that, I'd like to give you a chance to get those now.
Where do I begin?
The crouch right here.
Look, times are shitty. No doubt about it. Right?
The AI stuff is worrisome. A lot of people are worried that it's going to displace what remains of the available jobs.
It's understandable to be fearful,
to feel like you're not going to retire at a reasonable age,
feel like you're never going to be able to purchase a home.
The American trajectory doesn't look too great.
But in that chaos,
recognize that there is opportunity,
an opportunity to make these changes.
But we have to unite and we have to seize those changes ourselves.
ourselves. No one is going to be unanimous. Our corporate overlords are not going to one day
magically wake up for the re-enactmenting group and say, you know what? I don't need a 30 on.
I'm going to pay my workers' respect. It's never happened and then never will happen. So you have
to organize and you have to demand those changes. And sometimes you have to show that you have that
through work stoppages, through direct demonstrations, through protests, and always remember, if
it didn't work, then they wouldn't try to stop you from doing it. So don't feel discouraged,
don't feel divided, maintain solidarity, and maintain revolutionary optimism always, and
We will win.
I think you all might know it if you want to join me in a protest chant, from the river to the sea, from the river to the sea, from the river to the sea, from the river to the sea, from the river to the sea.
We are going to be free!
We are going to be free!
Stop! Stop!
Free! Free!
Stop!
Free! Free!
Stop!
