- 0:00What a disappointment The Atlantic has
- 0:01become. Become the guy who runs it was a
- 0:03[ __ ] prison guard for the IDF.
- 0:05Full of Israeli apologists and corporate
- 0:07do-nothing Dems, totally. It's wild to
- 0:09see the full-blown denial of the
- 0:11establishment over the obvious rise of
- 0:12the DSA. Dude, these [ __ ] Dems
- 0:15are so terrified, it's insane. Bill
- 0:17Maher being like, well, they're running
- 0:19these DSA Dems, they're running on
- 0:21abolishing borders and abolishing the
- 0:23police. Which ones, Bill?
- 0:25Which ones? Name them. Which ones it
- 0:29whatever the DSA website says. Which
- 0:31campaigns?
- 0:32Which campaigns are running on
- 0:35abolishing prisons and abolishing
- 0:36borders? Name it, cuz it doesn't [ __ ]
- 0:39exist. What is really behind them and
- 0:41their people like his anxiety and
- 0:43Fetterman, too, is obviously the fact
- 0:45that the Democratic Party has been
- 0:47undressed as the failure that it is. It
- 0:50is a warmongering corporatist
- 0:52billionaire class
- 0:54[ __ ] party.
- 0:55They're never going to deliver
- 0:56affordable college to you. They're never
- 0:58going to deliver affordable health care
- 1:00to you. Everybody [ __ ] knows it. And
- 1:03here comes the DSA being like, hey, we
- 1:04believe in unions. We believe in access
- 1:07to health care. We believe in Medicare
- 1:09for all, in fact. We believe in reining
- 1:11in the abuses of Israel. We believe in
- 1:13taxing the rich. We believe in all of
- 1:15these things. And then you got these
- 1:16idiots going out there being like, you
- 1:18know, there's just not enough. They're
- 1:19not They're not They're not racially
- 1:20inclusive enough and or they're mean to
- 1:23women. The same [ __ ] 2016
- 1:26Bernie bro [ __ ]
- 1:30Oh, these guys are all misogynistic
- 1:32online. No, here is the reality.
- 1:34The DSA, and I'm not even a member of
- 1:36the DSA, and it's not even just about
- 1:38them, cuz there's other ones who who are
- 1:39part of this sort of insurgent left
- 1:40flank. Um Abdul El-Sayed, for example,
- 1:43is not officially DSA. He's a Democrat,
- 1:45but, you know, this for wha- whatever
- 1:47you want to say what DSA represents,
- 1:48their campaigns are being run on kitchen
- 1:51table issues, and they're popular,
- 1:53overwhelmingly, polling shows with
- 1:56independents.
- 1:57That is where the magic is. People don't
- 2:00believe the Dems are going to do
- 2:01anything anymore because we know that
- 2:03they won't other than stand with Israel
- 2:06and then stand with billionaires. That's
- 2:08it. That's what they're going to do. And
- 2:10why is that what they're going to do?
- 2:11Because that's all they've ever done.
- 2:14They cannot be remade in a different way
- 2:17unless you just completely change over
- 2:18leadership and
- 2:19all manner.
- 2:20But you get the point like that they
- 2:22have been undressed the flank of of the
- 2:24left saying, "Hey, we believe in, you
- 2:27know, not having forever wars in the
- 2:28Middle East and being able to fund
- 2:30programs that make life better
- 2:31domestically." The Dems don't they hate
- 2:35that.
- 2:37They hate that. They don't want to
- 2:39deliver on these things and they surely
- 2:41do not want to deliver on reigning in
- 2:43Israel.
- 2:44Despite the fact that the base is 80/20
- 2:47on wanting them to cut all ties and aid
- 2:49or cut all aid and financing to to
- 2:51Israel.
- 2:5380/20 with the Dem base. 80/20. And this
- 2:56is the reality. What the truth is is
- 2:58that people like Bill Maher or Jon
- 2:59Fetterman or Representative Gottheimer
- 3:01or you who whoever you would like to
- 3:03name that is like, you know, Van Jones,
- 3:06they want you to believe what is really
- 3:08happening here is that a bunch of people
- 3:09who are crazy are getting a look because
- 3:12what they want to do is they want to
- 3:13abolish prisons and they want to abolish
- 3:15police and they want to abolish borders.
- 3:17Meanwhile, when you pay attention to the
- 3:19what their campaigns are saying, what
- 3:21they're running on and what voters are
- 3:22voting them for, it has not a [ __ ]
- 3:25thing to do with it. The thing that they
- 3:26are voting for them on
- 3:30is all the things I've already
- 3:31mentioned, which the Dems do not want.
- 3:35They do not want to deliver health care.
- 3:36They do not want to deliver affordable
- 3:38education. They do not want to rein in
- 3:41billionaires. They do not want to rein
- 3:42in Israel. They don't want to do any of
- 3:44it. They have no plans to do any of it
- 3:47and everybody can see it and they're
- 3:49looking around being like, "Yeah, you're
- 3:50insufficiently racially inclusive."
- 3:52[ __ ] you're about to get [ __ ]
- 3:54replaced.
- 3:56Can't wait. You got Neera Tanden on
- 3:58[ __ ] Twitter all day trying to argue.
- 4:00I feel like Bane in Batman. She's out
- 4:03there trying to argue like, you know,
- 4:04this is the party that has proven that
- 4:05centrism wins. And I want to look at her
- 4:07and be like, do you feel in charge? Do
- 4:09you feel in charge?
- 4:12Do you feel in charge? Look at where all
- 4:14the energy is. It's in the opposite
- 4:15direction of everything you recommend.
- 4:19She's the head of a Center for American
- 4:20Progress, a think tank here.
- 4:23Long time Clintonite.
- 4:26They are terrified of a world where from
- 4:29the left flank, people will act like New
- 4:31Deal Dems and actually do what they say.
- 4:35They don't want a world, the existing
- 4:37corporate Democratic Party, they don't
- 4:39want a world where Israel's anything
- 4:41other than what it is right now or or
- 4:43more.
- 4:45They don't want another world.
- 4:46They're okay with the genocide.
- 4:48Again, back to Neera Tanden. She was
- 4:50like, well, I don't know if El-Sayed can
- 4:52beat Rogers in Michigan. Oh, I guess I
- 4:54got to go vote I mean, I'm not in
- 4:55Michigan, but you know, I guess I got to
- 4:56go vote for Haley Stevens. Let's see
- 4:57let's check who's taking money from
- 4:59AIPAC to the tune of her campaign
- 5:01anyway, roughly 30 million [ __ ]
- 5:03dollars in this race.
- 5:07What are we What are we What are we
- 5:08talking about here?
- 5:10Like, I just have to support a person
- 5:11like that? Nope.
- 5:12They want you They want to leverage vote
- 5:14blue no matter who over everyone. And
- 5:17I'm I'm [ __ ] done. That party has
- 5:19brought ruin to themselves and the
- 5:22world. They have no moral or practical
- 5:25or electoral ground to to look down on
- 5:28the part of the Like, you would think
- 5:30they would want to embrace the insurgent
- 5:32part of where the energy is within the
- 5:34broader movement and for the reasons
- 5:36it's being embraced because it's winning
- 5:38not just with the that portion of the
- 5:40left, but across all of the voter base
- 5:42on the left and among independents. And
- 5:45then some of this stuff wins with the
- 5:46right, too.
- 5:47Stuff like rating in Israel and whatnot.
- 5:52They're terrified, brother.
- 5:53They're terrified. They're [ __ ]
- 5:57terrified. Bill Maher being like, "I
- 5:58might have to vote Republican." Let me
- 5:59get this straight. You said that J.D.
- 6:02Vance to J.D. Vance's face, you said
- 6:04that voting
- 6:05uh
- 6:06J.D. Vance has never once said Donald
- 6:08Trump lost the 2020 election. And you
- 6:11even said to him, "The election denial
- 6:12[ __ ] you have to cut it out." And you
- 6:14would vote for him
- 6:16over someone from the insurgent left who
- 6:18is running on unions, affordable health
- 6:21care,
- 6:22and cutting aid to Israel.
- 6:25And the answer is yes.
- 6:26He would.
- 6:28That's exactly what he thinks. That's
- 6:30exactly what he believes.
- 6:33They would rather partner diet MAGA.
- 6:34They would rather partner with the right
- 6:36than partner with their own left flank.
- 6:38Despite where all the electoral energy
- 6:40is clearly coming from.
- 6:42[ __ ] cowards, one and all. And more
- 6:44to the point, even if none of that was
- 6:45true,
- 6:46like they they they have no plans on
- 6:49delivering anything.
- 6:51They don't want to deliver. They're not
- 6:52going to deliver. They've never
- 6:53delivered.
- 6:56They have brought ruin to the world, and
- 6:58they want to crush the one in the one
- 7:04burgeoning area of interest. Like look
- 7:07with like the Democratic brand what what
- 7:09is it pull like single digits in terms
- 7:10of favorability?
- 7:12And they got the balls to be like,
- 7:13"Yeah, we're the ones in charge." You're
- 7:14the one in charge?
- 7:16For now, maybe.
- 7:19Top G arrested, flags at half-staff at
- 7:22UFC PI. People get this wrong. They
- 7:24think that Dana They think Dana White
- 7:25greeted him at a UFC event. He did not.
- 7:28He greeted him at a Power Slap event.
- 7:30But, you know, the whole like long big
- 7:32portions of the right have lined up
- 7:34behind him.
- 7:35Dude,
- 7:36[ __ ] the Tate's former lawyer
- 7:39is in the Trump administration now.
- 7:41What's his name? In Gracia?
- 7:44Paul in Gracia, he like that's Trump's
- 7:46that's Tate's former [ __ ] attorney.
- 7:48Dude, how about all the MMA fighters who
- 7:50posed with this [ __ ] these two
- 7:52clowns?
- 7:53Right? And all the people who were like
- 7:55try and these guys they have they have
- 7:56good ideas. They have good ideas if
- 7:58you're the dumbest [ __ ] alive.
- 8:00They have good ideas if you can't tell
- 8:02the difference between strength and
- 8:04absolute poison.
- 8:06Like oh, what what's better to drink?
- 8:08This water or pure bleach? They'll sell
- 8:10you on pure bleach every time. And then
- 8:12people be like, what do you mean you
- 8:13don't like pure bleach? Well,
- 8:16I mean just the most [ __ ] insane
- 8:19ideas ever with an incredibly sketchy
- 8:22background at a bare minimum. And then
- 8:23people being like, yeah, these guys are
- 8:24[ __ ] Do you know how disreputable that
- 8:27is?
- 8:28I cannot
- 8:30like that is such a disqualifying thing
- 8:32to me
- 8:33that um
- 8:35you know, the lack of judgment the the
- 8:37multiple layers of the lack of judgment
- 8:39like hey, this guy might be bad news.
- 8:41There's worth keeping some distance.
- 8:43Obviously, they're facing actual
- 8:45criminal
- 8:47uh charges in multiple countries at this
- 8:49point. Um
- 8:52there's so much what we already has been
- 8:54released on camera evidence of him kind
- 8:56of describing and discussing and even
- 8:58engaging in behavior that
- 9:00can lead to and has led to criminal
- 9:02charges.
- 9:03Uh to say nothing of what we don't even
- 9:05know. Did you see the New Yorker profile
- 9:07on him and all the charges and like all
- 9:08the ways in which they put together
- 9:10pieces of evidence to look at his trail
- 9:13of violence with women he was engaging
- 9:15in at the time. [ __ ] bananas. Like
- 9:18the layers of like you have to be a
- 9:20moral black hole to defend something
- 9:22like that. And then to just not even
- 9:24understand from like a risk assessment
- 9:25like what I mean protecting your
- 9:26identity and brand I should say. Like to
- 9:28just engage with that just absolute no
- 9:31judgment at all.
