Buyer’s Remorse? Carville Torches Hasan Piker as Dems Turn on Their Own · The 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, there's two things that I know about
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Hassan Paikin. One, he's an idiot, and two, he's not
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: a Democrat. So I don't answer for idiots, and I
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: don't answer for people who are not Democrats.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: And then you think about.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: James Carville, I'm like, bro, you architected the complete right-wing
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: ascent to neoliberalism in 96. He said one smart thing once,
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: which he seems to have forgotten.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Which is, it's the economy, stupid.
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Good Thursday morning.
• 0:31
  Speaker 5: It's nice to have you with us on the 47
• 0:33
  Speaker 5: Morning Update, and we've got a big story for you.
• 0:36
  Speaker 5: There is a civil war that is breaking out inside
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: the Democratic Party. The same people that used to say
• 0:41
  Speaker 5: that Donald Trump was the worst person in the world
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: and the biggest idiot in the world are now saying
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: their own colleagues are the biggest idiots they've ever seen.
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: And many Democrats are now demanding that the Democratic Socialists
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: of America drop the name Democratic.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's not a joke. So what does this mean
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: for the midterms? I break it all down for you.
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: And before we get to that, 25 years ago on
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: September the 11th, 2001, America faced the heartbreak of terrorism
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: at home. Three years ago, on October the 7th, 2023,
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: Israel endured that same heartbreak in the Holy Land. Different decades,
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: different attacks, the same evil. Each year, the International Fellowship
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: of Christians and Jews hosts Flags of Fellowship. It's a
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: movement where thousands of churches display memorial flags to honor
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: the 1,200 lives lost on October the 7th. And it's
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: a way to stand with Israel in faith, prayer, remembrance,
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: and solidarity. Now each flag represents a loved one, a
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: family forever changed, and a promise that we will not forget. Today,
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: hatred and violence still threaten our world, yet Scripture calls
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: on us to stand firm, to comfort the grieving, to
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: honor the lost, and shine a light in the darkness. Together,
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: we remember, we honor, and declare that evil will not
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: have the final word.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Now, I want you to join thousands of.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: Churches across America in this powerful act of remembrance and
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: support for Israel. Learn how you and your church can
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: participate in Flags of Fellowship at joinfof.org. Tell your church
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: about it today. That's joinfof.org. It's the 47 Morning Update,
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: and it starts right now.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Story number one.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: So there's a civil war, that's what some are calling it,
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: within the Democratic Party right now over the radical left.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: I'm talking about the Hassan Pikers, you know, the guy
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: that said that America deserved 9-11. And the Abdul El-Saeeds and,
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: you know, the AOCs and the Democratic Socialists of America. Now,
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: the question is, is it actually a civil war or
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: is it just buyer's remorse? James Carville, who is a
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: brilliant political mind, one of the best I've ever seen
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: on the Democratic side, a man who got the most
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: out of Bill Clinton and in many ways saved his
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: presidency multiple times over. He is now calling Hassan Piker
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: an idiot and demands that the Democratic Socialists of America
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: remove the word Democrat from their name.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: Because he says it's tarnishing the Democratic Party. Now, Democratic
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: socialists call themselves Democratic socialists because they believe that they
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: are a combination of the Democratic Party and socialism. James
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: Carmel is saying, no, no, no, no, no. You can't
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: have it. You can't have it at all. Now, Piker
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: is a self-described socialist who hates America. and has campaigned
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: with Democratic U.S. Senate candidate for the Democratic Party, Abdul El-Sayed.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: He has become a leading voice of the far left
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: as socialists fight to influence the Democratic Party as a whole.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: And that is where the, quote, civil wars, I would
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: describe it the fake civil war, actually are becoming a thing.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Quote, there are two things I know about Assam Piker. One,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: he's an idiot.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: And two, he's not a Democrat. So I don't answer
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: for idiots. And I don't answer for people who are
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: not Democrats. Now, that's what James Carville said on Fox
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: News Channel. He can say that all he wants to.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: But the reality is he absolutely is a Democrat. And
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: he absolutely is a member of the Democratic's wing of
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: the party. The idea that he's an idiot, by the way,
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: as James Carville described him, well, that's the part that's
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: pretty funny to me. Because this is an individual that
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: grew in its significance inside the left side of the
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: Democratic Party for years. They made him famous. They made
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: him rich. They watch his show. They listen to what
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: he says. And now you have Democrats that are campaigning
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: with Hassan Piker. Now, I want you to listen to
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: what James Carville had to say in its entirety on
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: the story with Martha McCallum on Fox News Channel. Listen
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: carefully to how mad he is and ask yourself the question,
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: why is it only now when we're getting close to
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: the election, when you're afraid you may actually lose in
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: the election, are you speaking out with this much anger?
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Why is it that it.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: Took so long for them to say, well, they're not
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: really what we are? Could it just simply be buyer's remorse?
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: I'll let you decide.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: Democratic Socialist of America standing by left-wing streamer Hassan Piker,
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: who once said the U.S. deserved 9-11. He later said
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: he did not mean that the U.S. deserved to be attacked,
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: calling his comment inappropriate as we close in on the
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: 25th anniversary of September 11th in just several days. So
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: the GSA accusing the establishment Democrats, Republicans, and the media
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: of having, quote, an obsession with a Twitch streamer. Then,
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: adding Piker's handle and, quote, our Twitch streamer. With that,
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: we bring in longtime Democratic strategist and commentator James Carville. Jim,
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: always good to have you with us. Thank you for
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: joining me today.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: So, you know, I want to actually— go ahead.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, there's two things that I know about
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Hassan Piker. Okay.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: One, he's an idiot.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: And two, he's not a Democrat. So I don't answer
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: for idiots, and I don't answer for people who are
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: not Democrats.
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: All right, let me just play this quick soundbite of
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: Piker and El-Sayed, and you won't have to answer for him,
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: but this is what he answered for you.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Watch.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, we got John Fetterman, James Carville, fantasizing about leaving
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: the party. I'm like, you're sweetening the deal.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: And then you think about James Carville, I'm like, bro,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: you architected the complete right-wing ascent to neoliberalism in 96.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: He said one smart thing once, which he seems to
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: have forgotten, which is, it's the economy, stupid.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: So I'll say, Ed, the Michigan candidate who is about
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: six or seven points ahead last time I looked says
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: you've said one smart thing. It's the economy stupid, claiming
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: that that's where their focus is now.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, most people go through life and never
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: say a single smart thing, so I'm glad that he
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: thinks I said one smart thing. I'll take that. But
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I can't answer for these left-wing idiots. Okay, some people,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: and I have a pretty wide strong zone, by the way.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I don't expect everybody to agree with me. I understand that.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I'm a Democrat.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I'm part of a big coalition, a big tent, and
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: we all have an admission policy, but thank God Heisenpiker
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: doesn't want in our frat because we don't want him.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: All right, so, you know, with regard to the Big Ten,
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: you know, I see people sort of trying to walk
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: that line with these guys all the time. It could
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: have been— they could have been pushed out. They could have said, well,
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: you've got to run in your own party. We're not
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: the Democratic Socialists. Is that still a possibility, or do
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: you think that, you know, they're going to have some
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: success in six weeks from now?
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: What I would tell a Democratic Socialist, why use— if you
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: hate the Democratic brand so much, why use our words? Yeah.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Go call yourself something else. Call yourself the Socialists of America.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Don't put the first word in your title Democratic because
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: that's the party. That's our party. That's the party of
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: civil rights. That's the party of women's rights. That's the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: party of balanced budget. That's the party of prosperity. Don't
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: use our name. Make up your own name. That's what I.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Would tell them.
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: You know, I mean, obviously, there has been over the
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: last several years an inflation issue. We talk a lot
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: about affordability. You know, these guys don't really have an
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: answer for that other than spending more government money, which
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: is how we got this inflation in the first place.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: First of all, the United States has existed for 250 years.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump hasn't been president for six of the 250.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: And his person was responsible for one third of the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: entire debt. So I'm very happy to see that people
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: are concerned about the debt. By the way, who is
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the last president under which we had a balanced budget?
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I happen to know the answer.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Bill Clinton.
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: Well, there's no Bill Clintons around in this group of Democrats.
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: Nobody's talking about welfare reform anymore, Jim.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Well, because welfare has been reformed. We did it.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: We won.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Victory. And by the way, there are a lot of
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: people in a Democratic Party. I mean, President Clinton, he
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: made 80 on August 19th. I know that because it's
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: his same birthday. My wife has the same birthday as
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Temple Gore.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: We won. Well, these guys are talking.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: About expanding benefits programs dramatically. Free buses, free education. I
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: got to leave it there. I'm sorry we got you
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: at the end of the show. But thank you so much.
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: Good to see you.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Always appreciate it.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: You listen to James Carville there. Isn't it interesting how
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: he's trying to go back and just completely change? He's
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: saying these guys and the Democratic Socialists of America, they're
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: not actually us. We've got John Fetterman, James Carville. I
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: go back to what Hassan Piker was saying there with
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: El Saeed. fantasizing about leaving the party I'm like you're
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: sweetening the deal Piker said in that recent stream and
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: we played that for you a moment ago Carville by
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: the way again denouncing the DSA that's the part where
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: I just have to laugh you created them You absolutely
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: created them. You spoon-fed them. You bottle-fed them before that.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: You raised them. The Democratic Party helped take over how
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: many different places? And not just in government, but also
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: how many different places in education, right? Countless times, countless times,
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: they took over public schools, middle schools, elementary schools, high schools,
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: and indoctrinated kids to hate this country. The universities, the
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: same thing. So what ended up happening? It's pretty clear.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: They've decided to take a generation, which they did, Hasan
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: Piker is a part of it, and say America is
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: the worst country in the world and America is evil
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: and you must dismantle it. You must dismantle it. That's
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: what they've done. And now, He's coming out and he's saying,
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: get out of my party. This isn't your party. This
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: is my party. You're not a Democrat. Go start your
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: own party. And you notice Martha asked a very interesting
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: question there, and he didn't have a great answer for it.
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: In fact, he dodged it. Then why did you let
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: them run under the Democrat name? They ran the Democrat primary.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: Why did you let them run in the Democratic primary?
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: Why is it that you let them act like they
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: are one of you if you're now claiming that that
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: you are not, that they are not one of you.
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: Secretary Scott Besson said this about socialists, and this is
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: the Hassan Pikers, it's the communists, the Marxist socialists. He
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: said this today on Larry Kudlow's show.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: It was very interesting.
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: Listen. I think we have a generational opportunity in the
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: Western hemisphere. As you said, it was led by Argentina
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: and the reforms there. Everyone said it couldn't be done.
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: And now we are seeing that the inflation drop the
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: change in economic circumstances. And, Larry, I thought what was
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: most interesting, and when you talk about socialism here in
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: the U.S., when we look at the demographic of those voters,
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: they are overeducated and under-earning. So these are underachievers who
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: are jealous of those who want to go and work
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: every day. And if you were to dissect the last
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: election that President Malay had, that it was the poorest
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: segment of society and the young people who came out
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: and voted for him. That's right. But as you said,
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: we're seeing Argentina, we're seeing Bolivia, we're seeing Colombia, we're
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: seeing Chile come back, Ecuador. And I think we could
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: see many more.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: You know, you go back to the quote there from
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: Secretary Besson on socialists. They are overeducated and under earning.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: So these are they're underachievers who are jealous of those
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: who want to go And work every day, work hard
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: every day.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: He's right.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: So when you hear these Democrats now freaking out, it's
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: not because of what the democratic socialists believe in. It's
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: because they are afraid. It is because they are very
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: afraid that they're going to lose the election, which means
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: they lose power. If they didn't like these people, they
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: should have policed them, but they love them. They, they, they,
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: they created them out of nothing. They supported them. They
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: gave them their money. They allowed them to run as Democrats.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: They didn't kick them out of the party. And now
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: they're having buyer's remorse. That is what this is. I
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: go back to Hassan Piker and what he said. I don't, quote,
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: I hate, you know, I hate America. We deserve 9-11, right?
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: Hassan Piker said that. That is what Hassan Piker said.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: That is who the Democratic Party has allowed to become
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: so big.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: That's the reality of this.
