Top Pennsylvania Democrat leaves party, warns of rising antisemitism · Cultural Wars | America Out Loud News

• 0:08
  You're listening to the Hidden Lightness on America Out Loud Talk Radio.
• 0:12
  I'm your host, Jimmy Hinton.
• 0:13
  Well, the Democrats are falling apart.
• 0:15
  Absolutely fallen apart at the seams.
• 0:18
  And I called this multiple times.
• 0:21
  I said that the Democratic Party needs to fall apart and it has to restructure and rebuild from the ground up.
• 0:29
  Well, it appears that this is happening.
• 0:33
  Probably a little bit sooner than what some of us would expect, but it is happening.
• 0:39
  They are attacking their own.
• 0:41
  They're losing high-ranking people from their own party.
• 0:46
  They've alienated John Fetterman.
• 0:48
  The party has left him.
• 0:51
  They can't stand his guts.
• 0:53
  In fact, I was watching a piece just recently, and it said that uh MS now won't even cover John Fetterman.
• 1:00
  Because they're that they really don't like what he stands for.
• 1:04
  They don't like that he has common sense.
• 1:07
  And their take on that is well, we just won't invite him anymore.
• 1:12
  We won't invite him to speak.
• 1:15
  And I've really come to like John Fetterman.
• 1:18
  Uh I really have.
• 1:20
  I think that out of everybody in the Democratic Party, he's by far the most common sense person.
• 1:28
  And he repeatedly says, and he is so correct in this.
• 1:33
  He repeatedly says, look, I'm not in a deep blue state like California or New York.
• 1:40
  Pennsylvania is and really always has been, it's one of the major swing states, which means it pays for both the Republicans and Democrats to appeal to both bases.
• 1:54
  And it's actually smart to do so.
• 1:57
  In fact, even for survival, it's necessary to do so.
• 2:04
  And uh it is really interesting living here in Pennsylvania because I see Republicans and Democrats, at least on the uh in the Pennsylvania House and Senate.
• 2:16
  I see them work together pretty often.
• 2:19
  I think it happens more often than not, where they're very bipartisan, and they have to be.
• 3:03
  Now, maybe for the majority of the parties, maybe, but for the most part, Republicans and Democrats have been getting along just fine since the founding of this great nation.
• 3:18
  And they continue to do so.
• 3:20
  Now, Washington is a little bit of a different animal.
• 3:24
  Uh, I think there is a very deep political divide there.
• 3:28
  And the people on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, they they really have a couple screws loose.
• 3:35
  I'm convinced of that.
• 3:37
  And this is just further evidence of that.
• 3:40
  And it's unfortunate because it's the leadership who's coming part at the seams.
• 3:45
  It's not the people.
• 3:48
  It's the leadership.
• 3:52
  And Hucking Jeffries, he's that guy's just so far gone.
• 3:57
  Uh he is a strange dude, but anyway.
• 4:02
  Uh here's an article, and there are a couple of these that I want to tie together.
• 4:07
  Because I think it's really important for us to get a picture of what's going on and how significant this is.
• 4:14
  But here's a recent article.
• 4:15
  It's just, I mean, a couple days ago.
• 4:18
  Fetterman weighs in after PA Supreme Court justice apparently splits from Democratic Party over anti-Semitism.
• 4:28
  Uh this is wild, folks.
• 4:33
  A Supreme Court justice who didn't apparently split from the Democratic Party.
• 4:39
  He did.
• 4:41
  And he's being very vocal about it, which I applaud him, I commend him, bravo, bravo.
• 4:48
  This is what the Democratic Party needs.
• 4:52
  They need people who are willing to stand up and to speak out and to say what you're what you're teaching and what you're saying and what you're doing, it's it's just plain wrong.
• 5:03
  And this party loyalty has always baffled me.
• 5:10
  Regardless of the party.
• 5:17
  Like they will bleed blue or they will bleed red, and they ain't changing, and there ain't nobody can change their mind, and I will always be Democrat or I will always be Republican.
• 5:29
  And that just makes me scratch my head.
• 5:33
  Uh both parties have their fair share of problems, trust me.
• 5:39
  Both parties have their fair share of corruption.
• 5:43
  Both parties have good policies and bad policies.
• 5:49
  Both parties are made up of good people and bad people.
• 5:52
  That's just a fact.
• 5:55
  So this this whole idea that one party is so much more supreme than the other party, and that everything they do is just so wonderful and so good, and they can never do any wrong.
• 6:07
  That has always baffled me.
• 6:09
  I I just I don't understand it.
• 6:12
  I don't get it.
• 6:12
  I don't have a context for that.
• 6:16
  And that doesn't just apply to political parties.
• 6:19
  That applies to religious groups, churches, colleges, universities, people that are die hard and they will absolutely never change.
• 6:31
  And I've been whatever it is, I've been at this church, and I've been a part of this denomination my entire life.
• 6:40
  If that's their reason, I I just I don't because I don't understand it.
• 6:48
  You know, it's brand loyalty.
• 6:52
  Now, and that's coming from somebody who has never changed religious denominations, but my reasons are uh much deeper than I'm just loyal to my religious tribe.
• 7:00
  Much deeper than I'm just loyal to my religious tribe.
• 7:05
  Uh that's not why I stay.
• 7:05
  That's not why I stay.
• 7:08
  And I acknowledge that they have a lot of problems.
• 7:08
  And I acknowledge that they have a lot of problems.
• 7:13
  Yeah, just like every other denomination.
• 7:13
  Just like every other denomination.
• 7:17
  All of them have problems.
• 7:17
  All of them have problems.
• 7:20
  I choose to stay more because of uh doctrinal alignment, but not because of I'm just loyal because of the brand, and it's the name.
• 7:20
  I choose to stay more because of uh doctrinal alignment, but not because of I'm just loyal because.
• 7:32
  And if if you don't go to a church with this name, then you know, you're wrong, wrong, wrong.
• 7:40
  I just have never held to that.
• 7:44
  I think truth has to rise above everything else.
• 7:48
  And truth leads us to have principles.
• 7:53
  And that's apparently what's happening here in Pennsylvania.
• 7:57
  So I want to read a little bit about this.
• 8:00
  It's uh it's really fascinating to me.
• 8:03
  This is a Fox News article, a political article.
• 8:08
  After a Pennsylvania Supreme Court justice appeared to indicate that he had ditched the Democratic Party, declaring in a statement that he is, quote, no longer registered within any political party.
• 8:20
  U.S.
• 8:20
  Senator John Fetterman, Democrat Pennsylvania, noted that he understood the man's decision.
• 8:26
  Oh, he is gonna he's gonna hear from that.
• 8:31
  He's gonna hear from his party on that one.
• 8:34
  I I love this about John Fetterman.
• 8:38
  You see, he's a respecter of men, Democrat and Republican.
• 8:44
  He's not gonna bash people.
• 8:45
  See, the Democrats are are they bashing anybody who leaves the party.
• 8:50
  That's that you're you're terrible, you're you're awful, you must have always been a Trumper, on and on and on.
• 8:56
  You know, that's what they know to insult people.
• 9:00
  John Fetterman, on the other hand, he leads by example, and he's like, look, it's perfectly acceptable.
• 9:09
  And he was clear, he said, uh I'm not leaving the Democratic Party, but I definitely understand where he's coming from, and and I respect it.
• 9:18
  So really cool, I think, that John Fetterman takes that stance.
• 9:24
  I really do.
• 9:25
  I think it's commendable.
• 9:28
  I think that he is um he is a true leader.
• 9:33
  He leads by example.
• 9:36
  I quite honestly, I think he's pretty humble.
• 9:40
  You know, it just goes to show too that not all politicians are arrogant.
• 9:45
  Fetterman, I mean, every time I hear the guy open his mouth, I'm like, this guy's really humble.
• 9:52
  And I had mentioned I had a sister who was working on a it was a major adoption issue.
• 10:00
  And it was because of the the changing laws for um adoption out of country.
• 10:10
  Like a lot has changed since President Trump took office.
• 10:14
  Some for good, some for bad.
• 10:17
  And this happens to be one of those policies that I think is just it's it's detrimental to people trying to adopt out of country.
• 10:26
  And you pay a lot of money, by the way.
• 10:28
  You know, it's not like we're sneaking people across the border when when you adopt somebody from out of the country.
• 10:36
  But my sister was having a lot of problems, a lot of problems getting anybody even to answer.
• 10:43
  And she needed, she needed a congressman or a congresswoman to take up her case.
• 10:50
  She's had to, she was up against the clock.
• 10:54
  She said that John Fetterman's office was the only office who not only responded, but responded very directly, very quickly, and had a solution.
• 11:04
  They had already been aware of this problem, and they said we're we're working to come to a resolution.
• 11:10
  They didn't point their finger, they didn't say all these, you know, these cursed Republicans.
• 11:15
  They didn't do any of that.
• 11:18
  John Fetterman's office simply said, okay, we acknowledge the problem, we're gonna work with you.
• 11:25
  And guess what?
• 11:27
  They fixed it.
• 11:30
  They literally fixed the problem.
• 11:34
  They didn't drag it out for 10 months or even 10 weeks.
• 11:39
  This happened really, really quickly.
• 11:41
  So I I commend John Fetterman.
• 11:43
  I really do.
• 11:44
  I I think he's just a stand-up guy.
• 11:47
  And he's a hard worker.
• 11:49
  And I'm not saying there are a lot of people who are like, oh, he should just jump ship to the Republican Party.
• 11:56
  Why?
• 11:57
  And I understand where people are coming from, and they're like, well, he has a better chance.
• 12:02
  He, you know, the Democratic Party, they they've left him, and he has a better chance of being re-elected if he turns Republican.
• 12:13
  Yeah, maybe.
• 12:14
  Do you know his approval rate is actually really high here in Pennsylvania among both Democrats and Republicans.
• 12:22
  I think he's doing the right thing.
• 12:24
  And I think too, I think it's really good for people to stay within the Democratic Party and try to clean it up.
• 12:31
  Because he doesn't, he does not care what people think about him, clearly.
• 12:38
  And I love that.
• 12:40
  Yeah, he's not crawling on his hands and knees begging people to vote for him.
• 12:44
  He's not crawling on his hands and knees begging people to like him.
• 12:47
  He could care less.
• 12:53
  And I'm gonna do my job, and I'm going to do it to the best of my ability.
• 12:58
  I think that's really commendable.
• 13:01
  So here's what Fetterman said.
• 13:04
  He said, from oh, sorry, no, this is not Fetterman.
• 13:08
  Let me let me back up a little bit.
• 13:11
  This is Supreme Court Justice David Wecht, the one who left the Democratic Party.
• 13:20
  Here's here's why.
• 13:21
  Here's a statement that he put out.
• 13:23
  This is fascinating to me.
• 13:26
  He said, from 1998 to 2001, years that preceded my judicial career.
• 13:33
  I served as vice chair of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party.
• 13:37
  In the quarter century that has passed since then, the Democratic Party has changed.
• 13:44
  Nazi tattoos, jihadist chants, intimidation, and attacks at synagogues, and other hateful anti-Jewish invective and actions are minimized, ignored, and even coddled.
• 14:01
  Acquiescence to Jew hatred is now disturbingly common among activists, leaders, and even many elected officials in the Democratic Party.
• 14:01
  Acquiescence to Jew hatred is now disturbingly common among activists, leaders, and even many elected officials in the Democratic Party.
• 14:11
  That's fascinating to me.
• 14:11
  That's fascinating to me.
• 14:13
  This is so, and he's so right.
• 14:13
  This is so, and he's so right.
• 14:15
  He's spot on.
• 14:15
  He's spot on.
• 14:17
  I I actually agree with him.
• 14:17
  I I actually agree with him.
• 14:19
  And this is what I've been saying.
• 14:19
  And this is what I've been saying.
• 14:21
  I've been uh getting farther and farther and farther away from the Democratic Party.
• 14:21
  I've been uh getting farther and farther and farther away from the Democratic Party in the last, really in the last five years.
• 14:27
  In in the last, really in the last five years, I think it's ratcheted up and gotten really bad.
• 14:29
  I think.
• 14:33
  Uh even as recently as the last election in Pennsylvania, I I voted for a Democrat, and uh I I actually regret it.
• 14:44
  It was for our governor for Josh Shapiro.
• 14:47
  I I know Josh.
• 14:49
  I like Governor Josh Shapiro.
• 14:53
  Uh super nice guy, super super great.
• 14:56
  He remembers people's names.
• 14:58
  He goes out of his way to to be kind to people.
• 15:02
  But something happened.
• 15:04
  Something happened.
• 15:06
  And I don't like it.
• 15:09
  I don't like it within the Democratic Party.
• 15:11
  I don't like what's happening.
• 15:12
  I don't like how Governor Shapiro is leading.
• 15:16
  Um he's not anti-Jewish, he's actually a Jew.
• 15:23
  Um and he should know.
• 15:27
  But maybe it's because he belongs to the Democratic Party.
• 15:30
  I I don't know.
• 15:30
  I don't get it.
• 15:31
  I just don't understand the anti-Semitism.
• 15:35
  But it's the Democratic people who point to the Republicans as anti-Semitic.
• 15:41
  My how the tables have turned.
• 15:44
  And the Republicans have repeatedly said, We're not anti-Semitic.
• 15:48
  You are.
• 15:51
  It's their pro Palestine and anti-Jewish.
• 15:58
  Um we down with the Jews and burning their flag along with the American flag.
• 16:04
  Like, it is absolutely insane.
• 16:08
  It just doesn't make sense.
• 16:10
  Getting Nazi tattoos, drawing swastikas on people's Teslas and calling them Nazis.
• 16:20
  It's so strange.
• 16:22
  It's just, it is really, really bizarre.
• 16:24
  And thank the good lord above that somebody with a lot of power, somebody's calling it out.
• 16:32
  And he's like, nope, I can't do this anymore.
• 16:36
  Not gonna do it.
• 16:37
  I commend him.
• 16:39
  I commend Supreme Court Justice David Wecht.
• 16:44
  Uh, he is 100% right, and he's right to run as far and fast from that kind of nonsense as he can.
• 16:52
  And uh, yeah, John Fetterman agrees.
• 16:55
  Even though he's not leaving the Democratic Party, he respects that decision.

  Liberty and justice for all.
• 19:24
  And I boy do I get it.
• 19:26
  Boy, do I get it.
• 19:28
  I totally get this man.
• 19:30
  I understand it.
• 19:31
  I understand his frustration.
• 19:33
  And again, here is his statement.
• 19:37
  Here's a statement for why he left the Democratic Party.
• 19:41
  He said from 1998 to 2001, years that preceded my judicial career.
• 19:51
  In the quarter century that has passed since then, the Democratic Party has changed.
• 19:57
  Nazi tattoos, jihadist chants, intimidation and attacks at synagogues, and other hateful anti-Jewish invective and actions are minimized, ignored, even coddled.
• 20:13
  Acquiescence to the Jew hatred is now disturbingly common among activists, leaders, and even many elected officials in the Democratic Party.
• 20:23
  This is incredible to me.
• 20:26
  And not because he's wrong, he's exactly right.
• 20:29
  This has been happening more and more and more.
• 20:31
  And in fact, somebody just said the other day, um, who was it?
• 20:34
  Bill Marr.
• 20:36
  And I actually really like Bill Moore.
• 20:38
  I think he's spot on most of the time.
• 20:41
  And he is uh pretty much a lifelong Democrat.
• 20:46
  And he's been calling them out for a very long time, and he's right to do so.
• 20:50
  Now he calls both parties out, and I think that's fair.
• 20:53
  I think he's right to do that too.
• 20:55
  But he said that the Democratic Party is the one that has absolutely gone off the deep end.
• 21:00
  The deep end.
• 21:00
  But he did a piece the other day, and or at least I saw it the other day.
• 21:00
  But he did a piece the other day, and or at least I saw it the other day.
• 21:04
  I don't know how old it was.
• 21:04
  I don't know how old it was.
• 21:06
  But he said, you know, the Democrats wonder what's happening to their party.
• 21:06
  But he said, you know, the Democrats wonder what's happening to their party.
• 21:10
  It's it's fallen apart.
• 21:10
  It's it's fallen apart.
• 21:11
  It's absolutely falling apart.
• 21:11
  It's absolutely falling apart.
• 21:14
  And he agrees, by the way, that it needs to.
• 21:14
  And he agrees, by the way, that it needs to.
• 21:18
  But he said, I'll tell you what happened.
• 21:18
  But he said, I'll tell you what happened.
• 21:20
  Bernie Sanders and AOC, he's like, they're somehow the face of the Democratic Party.
• 21:20
  Bernie Sanders and AOC, he's like, they're somehow the face of the Democratic Party.
• 21:27
  And the
• 21:28
  And your guess is as good as mine.
• 21:31
  I don't get it either.
• 21:33
  But somehow, AOC and Boyne Sanders have become the face of the Democratic Party.
• 21:39
  And they were at a rally, and people dropped a Palestinian flag over top of a U.S.
• 21:47
  flag.
• 21:48
  There was a U.S.
• 21:49
  flag, probably set up by the Boine Sanders and AOC campaigns.
• 21:57
  There's an American flag there.
• 21:59
  And protesters, or I don't even know that they were protesters.
• 22:02
  I guess we should just assume that everybody that goes to these rallies is a protester.
• 22:06
  I don't know.
• 22:06
  No, not really.
• 22:09
  But a lot of these people are protesters.
• 22:11
  But I don't, I don't think they were.
• 22:12
  I think they were just attendees.
• 22:15
  And they draped the Palestinian flag over top of the American flag.
• 22:23
  And Bill Maury, he was like, you know, of course, he uses pretty colorful language.
• 22:29
  But he said, that is not a symbol of freedom.
• 22:33
  And he said, you know, the cowards, Boiney Sanders and AOC.
• 22:38
  Instead of stopping them and saying, you idiots, get that flag off of the American flag.
• 22:46
  Do not desecrate the American flag.
• 22:50
  Because this is not a symbol of freedom.
• 22:54
  This is a symbol of freedom.
• 22:57
  And Marr showed a picture of an American flag.
• 23:00
  And people in the audience, there's like about half of them sounded like we're clapping, but they cheered.
• 23:07
  And it just shows that there is still patriotism within the Democratic Party.
• 23:14
  You know, I don't think that a lot of people in the Democratic Party like to see what's happening, that they're trying to replace our flag, the good old good old glory, the American glory.
• 23:26
  They're trying to trying to replace the American flag with the Mexican flag with the Palestinian flag.
• 23:39
  But they're too afraid to say anything.
• 23:42
  And the reason they're too afraid to say anything is because they know it happens from people on high within the Democratic Party and all the all the agitators.
• 23:54
  If you do anything that they don't like, you know, the party of tolerance and freedom and peace and all that good stuff, equality for all.
• 24:04
  If you do something that they don't like, what do they do?
• 24:08
  They attack you.
• 24:10
  They attack you physically.
• 24:12
  They turn violent.
• 24:15
  They shout insults at you.
• 24:18
  They throw rocks at you, broken bottles, bottles of pee.
• 24:26
  I mean, this is the stuff that happens at protests.
• 24:29
  And it's not just protest, it just happens in general.
• 24:32
  Now, again, I don't think that that's the majority of Democrats.
• 24:36
  I really don't.
• 24:37
  I think the majority of Democrats are pretty fed up with what's happening to their party.
• 24:42
  It has been hijacked.
• 24:45
  And that's crystal clear.
• 24:47
  And the people who hijacked it are some of the most bigoted, intolerant people that I've ever seen in my life.
• 24:56
  They are racist.
• 24:58
  You know, that's the irony.
• 25:00
  They call people in the Republican Party racist.
• 25:05
  But who is it who's shooting up synagogues?
• 25:10
  Who is it who hurls insults?
• 25:15
  Has Nazi tattoos, paints wasticas on on people's property, destroys people's property.
• 25:25
  Uh, destroys people's property simply for being pro-israel.
• 25:31
  I mean, who does that?
• 25:34
  It's almost always coming from people from the Democratic Party.
• 25:38
  And I hate that that's the case.
• 25:41
  But we got to call it for what it is.
• 25:43
  And I'm so grateful for Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Welt or WECT.
• 25:51
  Who's calling it out?
• 25:53
  He says, I I can no longer do this.
• 25:55
  I can't keep doing this.
• 25:59
  He said uh in a lengthier statement, I can no longer abide this.
• 26:06
  So I won't.
• 26:08
  I'm no longer registered within any political party.
• 26:12
  It is my hope that Pennsylvanians and Americans of all viewpoints and backgrounds will oppose and resist the scourge of the Jew hatred before it undermines what our ancestors have built here.
• 26:27
  Amen.
• 26:29
  I mean, wow.
• 26:32
  This is a statement and a half.
• 26:35
  I applaud him.
• 26:37
  I stand on the on the corner and support him, not because he's leaving the Democratic Party, but because he's speaking truth, and he's making a very powerful statement.
• 26:47
  I don't know that leaving the Democratic Party is because he's just fed up with it, or if he's really trying to make a statement and drive the point home that this kind of stuff has zero tolerance in America.
• 27:01
  Bullying, name-calling, violence, hatred.
• 27:08
  None of those things have any, they shouldn't have any tolerance here in this nation.
• 27:13
  And he's right.
• 27:15
  If we don't oppose this, if we don't resist the scourge of the Jew hatred before it undermines what our ancestors have built here, it absolutely will undermine it.
• 27:27
  Now, speaking of, and I'll come back to this here in a minute.
• 27:32
  But here's another article that published the same day, May 12th.
• 27:37
  Virginia GOP leader blasts power-hungry Jeffries as Dems Mount Insane Gambit to overpower high court.
• 27:49
  You know what they're trying to do in Virginia because of the redistricting that the Supreme Court justices approved.
• 27:58
  They said it is necessary, it is constitutional.
• 28:00
  It is constitutional.
• 28:03
  Hakeem Jeffries has a plan to remove them.
• 28:03
  Hakeem Jeffries has a plan to remove them to remove them from the Democratic Party or remove them as Supreme Court justices, or both.
• 28:08
  To remove them from the Democratic Party or remove them as Supreme Court justices, or both.
• 28:15
  I mean, and then you wonder why Supreme Court justices are leaving the Democratic Party.
• 28:15
  I mean, and then you wonder why Supreme Court justices are leaving the Democratic Party.
• 28:21
  This is literally written the same day.
• 28:21
  This is literally written the same day.
• 28:25
  Virginia Republicans, this uh another Fox News article, you won't find this stuff.
• 28:25
  Virginia Republicans, this uh another Fox News article, you won't find this stuff on uh MS now and uh news uh news outlets like that, which is silly to me, because I I think it's definitely newsworthy.
• 28:44
  Virginia Republicans blasted national and state Democrats over their quote, insane ideas on how to reverse the Supreme Court of Virginia's four to three ruling against their redistricting gamut, targeting House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and other National Democrats latest intercession.
• 29:05
  The New York Times reported Monday that uh on a meeting between National and Virginia Democrats to discuss ways to revive their now blocked 10 to 1 map, drawing sharp backlash.
• 29:21
  It is insane, is my first take on that, because I mean it would be crazy to throw out judges for making the right decision.
• 29:32
  Said Virginia House Minority Leader, Terry Kilgore, Democrat Gate City.
• 29:45
  This is fantastic because the Democrats now are coming out and they're tired of it, they're done, they're done with people within their own political party who have hijacked the party, and they are absolutely insane.
• 30:01
  He's right.
• 30:01
  Hakeem Jeffries is insane.
• 30:05
  I've been saying that for a while.
• 30:07
  This guy's nuts.
• 30:10
  And I don't mean that in a good way.
• 30:16
  This literally doesn't make any sense.
• 30:20
  And I love that Virginia House Minority Leader Terry Kilgore, Democrat.
• 30:28
  He touted the decision from his Democratic colleagues as the right decision.
• 30:35
  It's the right decision.
• 30:37
  And he's right.
• 30:38
  You know, redistricting happens all the time.
• 30:43
  And it's necessary.
• 30:45
  Uh demographics change, uh land areas change, uh, properties change, uh, property lines, you know, those sorts of things.
• 30:57
  And the population is constantly shifting and changing.
• 31:00
  It's actually quite fluid.
• 31:02
  When you get away from the really big cities and you get into rural areas across the nation, it's actually pretty fluid.
• 31:11
  And so the redistricting happens all the time.
• 31:14
  I think people don't realize that.
• 31:16
  It's just now that the Democrats are throwing a hissy fit about it because they see Republicans doing it and they're acting like it's the first time it's ever happened.
• 31:26
  I want to read just an overview here, just to make this point.
• 31:31
  Redistricting in the United States typically happens every 10 years, immediately following the constitutionally mandated decennial U.S.
• 31:43
  census.
• 31:45
  This process resets district boundaries for the U.S.
• 31:49
  House of Representatives and state legislatures to reflect population changes.
• 31:56
  While usually a decennial event every 10 years, DECA for 10, um, it happens every 10 years.
• 32:07
  Maps can be redrawn mid-decade due to court orders or legislative action.
• 32:14
  Now that's what's happening right now.
• 32:17
  We're having court orders and legislative action that's saying, well, uh, you know, even though we do this every 10 years, the the latest census is showing that we have pretty rapid um changes within the district.
• 32:33
  And so it becomes necessary to change the maps.
• 32:39
  Now, we are right in the middle.
• 32:41
  The census occurs in years ending in zero.
• 32:44
  So, for example, 2020, 2030, with redistricting following shortly after, as new population data is released.
• 32:55
  That ensures that districts have roughly equal populations.
• 33:00
  One person, one vote, following the reapportionment of the 435 house seats.
• 33:11
  And then mid-decade changes also happen.
• 33:15
  Although rare until recently, states may redraw maps between censuses.
• 33:21
  As of 2025 and 26, several states, including California, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas, and now Virginia have engaged in mid-decade voluntary or court-ordered redistricting.
• 33:38
  Maps frequently face lawsuits, which can lead to court-ordered revisions throughout the decade.
• 33:44
  Hence, why it goes to the Supreme Court, the state Supreme Court.
• 33:49
  So it's really important to understand this.
• 33:53
  They're drawing them up and they're like, uh, we're going to capture all the Republicans here, or we're going to capture all the Democrats here.
• 33:59
  Although it is the Democratic Party who says that they're going to do exactly that.
• 34:07
  In California, I think it was uh Gavin Newsom threatened to redistrict to intentionally throw the vote.
• 34:16
  As if they have to do that in California.
• 34:19
  But don't quote me on that, that it was him, but it was uh in the state of California.
• 34:23
  It was somebody in the Democratic Party made that statement.
• 34:25
  They were like, well, we're we're just gonna redraw the map.
• 34:28
  The the Republicans want to play games.
• 34:30
  We're just gonna read redistrict everything.
• 34:34
  And we're gonna capture as many Democrats as possible because that's what the Republicans are doing in and in in it, you know, and it's like it's absolute insanity.
• 34:44
  So in Virginia, Hakeem Jeffries is like, oh yeah, well, we're we're uh we're gonna intercede here in in the state Supreme Court decisions, and we're we're gonna get rid of these Supreme Court justices.
• 35:00
  And we're we're gonna get rid of these Supreme Court justices.
• 35:04
  You're gonna do what now?
• 35:04
  You're gonna do what now?
• 35:08
  So anyway, um this is just wild.
• 35:08
  So anyway, um this is just wild.
• 35:13
  Again, Virginia House minority leader Terry Kilgore, who's a Democrat, he said that would just be on be beyond pale.
• 35:13
  Again, Virginia House minority leader Terry Kilgore, who's a Democrat, he said that would just be on be beyond pale.
• 35:21
  I think a lot of Virginians would see through that.
• 35:21
  I think a lot of Virginians would see through that, and it's too late for them to do it as a matter of law.
• 35:24
  And it's too late for them to do it as a matter of law.
• 35:29
  Um
• 35:29
  Uh man, this is it it's getting wild out there, folks.
• 35:34
  It is getting absolutely wild.
• 35:38
  The report claimed that Jeffries, Democrat New York, was uh party to discussions that ranged from lowering the retirement age of state justices to obstinate re retrying the case before a handpicked court, as well as using the otherwise Republican favorable ruling of Tazewell County, the Tazewell decision from Judge Jack Hurley initially invalidated the redistricting referendum, but Scova allowed the vote to proceed.
• 36:13
  The Times reported Democrats are considering using Hurley's reasoning to instead invalidate the 2020 referendum that created the independent redistricting commission, they tried to circumvent with their April vote.
• 36:28
  That just shows it shows you how power hungry Hakeem Jeffries and his Democrats are up there.
• 36:34
  And I'm glad the Supreme Court followed the rule of law, and it was a good day for Virginia, Kilgore said.
• 36:42
  Again, this is a Democrat saying these things.
• 36:46
  So very fascinating.

  Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice David Weck has left the Democratic Party.
• 38:56
  He's left it in the dust.
• 38:57
  He is not looking back.
• 38:59
  And he said, you know, just can't deal with all the hatred and all the anti-Semitism.
• 39:05
  And I'm not going to keep uh sticking to this party.
• 39:09
  It's not the party that it used to be.
• 39:11
  He's right.
• 39:13
  He's 100% right.
• 39:15
  And I think it's good that people are standing up to bullying and harassment within the Democratic Party.
• 39:23
  And it's not just the harassment, it's the hatred.
• 39:28
  And there can never be room for hatred from either party.
• 39:35
  From anybody.
• 39:36
  And people have to stand up against it.
• 39:40
  And I really appreciate Senator John Fetterman from Pennsylvania because he has been pretty vocal about it.
• 39:48
  And here's what he said about the decision.
• 39:51
  He said, uh, first of all, he uh he understands it.
• 39:56
  He said, I I get it.
• 39:58
  But he also said, I know David, meaning the Supreme Court Justice, David Weg, I know David and his legendary father, Cyril.
• 40:08
  As I affirmed, I'm not changing my party.
• 40:11
  But I fully understand David's personal choice.
• 40:15
  He wrote that on a post on X.
• 40:19
  The Democratic Party must confront its own rising anti-semitism problem.
• 40:27
  John Fennerman.
• 40:29
  Direct quote.
• 40:30
  I love this.
• 40:32
  I I can stand behind him.
• 40:34
  100%.
• 40:37
  You know, that this is what the Democratic Party used to be.
• 40:42
  And that's what John Fennerman stands for.
• 40:46
  Yeah, he's old enough that uh he remembers the old school Democratic Party.
• 40:51
  That they were a party for the American people.
• 40:56
  That they knew how to get the job done.
• 41:00
  I look at the Clinton years.
• 41:02
  I mean, my goodness.
• 41:04
  They knew how to work with Republicans.
• 41:08
  They they knew how to strike a deal.
• 41:11
  And if there was legislation that that needed moved, they could move it.
• 41:16
  Clinton could sell anything.
• 41:18
  That guy could sell.
• 41:19
  I mean, he was one of those that could sell a uh a catch-up popsickle to a lady in a white dress.
• 41:27
  Yeah, he's he was a smooth talker, and I think he actually held to American values.
• 41:33
  Now, uh, not talking about his all of his scandals, uh, but generally speaking, I think he actually cared about the American people.
• 41:44
  And I think he had uh a pretty good head on his shoulders.
• 41:48
  You know, when it came to national defense, I think he did a great job.
• 41:54
  And I don't know.
• 41:56
  I I think a lot of Democrats long to go back to the party that they used to be.
• 42:00
  Party that they used to be.
• 42:02
  And I don't know how that's going to happen without the party completely coming apart and re-establishing itself.
• 42:02
  And I don't know how that's gonna happen without the party completely coming apart and re-establishing itself, and that's not always a bad thing.
• 42:10
  And that's not always a bad thing.
• 42:12
  You know, sometimes it takes a a complete reestablishment, building from the ground up.
• 42:12
  You know, sometimes it takes a complete re-establishment, building from the ground up.
• 42:20
  It takes that to get rid of all of the rock gut.
• 42:20
  It takes that to get rid of all of the rock gut, and there is a lot of rot gut, and there's been for a long time, and it's not that people.
• 42:24
  And there is a lot of rock gut.
• 42:26
  And there's been for a long time.
• 42:28
  And it's not that people disagree.
• 42:31
  It's not that they're differing ideas on abortion and national defense and uh the border and those sorts of things.
• 42:40
  It's not that people have a different opinion.
• 42:45
  I mean, that's that's always been okay.
• 42:48
  It's that they're just they're so brutal and hateful.
• 42:54
  And if anybody disagrees with them, they label them.
• 42:57
  They love to label people.
• 42:59
  They love to label them as haters and intolerant and uh terrible and uh they're they're they're they're abusers and they're racist and they're homophobes and they're they they put the word phobia on the end of just about everything for anybody who disagrees with with them, including their own, including people now.
• 43:22
  It used to just be the Republicans that they would uh they would name call and shout insults at and even threaten, but now it appears that they're turning on their own party.
• 43:34
  It doesn't appear.
• 43:35
  I mean, they they clearly are.
• 43:38
  In fact, I was talking about in Virginia.
• 43:42
  What happened in Virginia is Hakeem Jeffries is attempting to meddle, and he doesn't like the decision on the redistricting, the redistricting of the maps.
• 43:55
  He he really doesn't like that that a Democrat Supreme Court justice ruled in favor of that.
• 44:05
  There was it was, and it was close, it was a four to three ruling, and uh Hacking Drafteries, he's not having it.
• 44:14
  So he wants to do is find a way to to block them, to make their life miserable, to remove them, whatever it takes.
• 44:22
  Whatever it takes to get rid of these Supreme Court justices, and uh it's just it is getting absolutely wild.
• 44:32
  So Virginia House Minority Leader Terry Kilgore, who's a Democrat.
• 44:37
  I'll read the quote from him again.
• 44:40
  He said, it's insane.
• 44:42
  My first take on that, because I mean, it would be crazy to throw out judges for making the right decision.
• 44:51
  That would uh just be beyond the pale.
• 44:54
  I think a lot of Virginians would see through that.
• 44:58
  And it's too late for them to do it as a matter of law.
• 45:02
  There was a May 12th pre-primary deadline.
• 45:07
  Well, that's coming on.
• 45:10
  So they they couldn't do it if they tried, but that's not stopping Hakeem Jeffries, the House Democratic leader.
• 45:19
  It's not stopping him from saying, well, we're gonna do it anyway.
• 45:23
  So it really interesting.
• 45:25
  And Kilgore went on to say that just shows you how power hungry Hakeem Jeffries and his Democrats are up there.
• 45:32
  And I'm glad the Supreme Court followed the rule of law, and it was a good day for Virginia.
• 45:39
  So Democrats disagreed.
• 45:43
  They disagreed with Virginia Senate Minority Leader Scott Soroval, Democrat from Mount Vernon, announcing an emergency application for relief was made to the Supreme Court of the United States by late Monday of this week.
• 46:03
  Soroval said in a statement that the response was brought by himself, House Speaker Don Scott, Democrat from Portsmouth, and Senate President Pro Tem L.
• 46:16
  Louise Lucas, Democrat Portsman.
• 46:20
  So again, the Democrats, or at least some of them disagreed with the Supreme Court justice.
• 46:28
  The case was filed with the SCOTUS, but the page itself indicated in its second reference that it was filed to the Supreme Court of Virginia.
• 46:39
  So critics are pointing out that uh, you know, they've they filed the case with haste.
• 46:44
  There, it has mistakes on it, it has typos on the first page, and it's just interesting.
• 46:49
  I mean, people are gonna grasp it straws, and I think a lot of people are seeing through this.
• 46:55
  I think a lot of Democrats, and I'll be honest, I've I've talked to a lot of friends who are Democrats, and they're fed up with their own party.
• 47:04
  They said it is not the Democratic Party that it used to be.
• 47:09
  I agree.
• 47:15
  I think there's just so much backbiting and intolerance and hatred.
• 47:22
  And then they point the finger and they're like, well, if you disagree with me, you're you're you're the hater.
• 47:27
  Excuse me.
• 47:30
  Yeah, when did it become a hate crime to disagree with somebody?
• 47:35
  And that's what's interesting.
• 47:37
  Like I've stopped talking to some of my democratic friends because they'll ask loaded questions, politically loaded questions, and I know it's a trap.
• 47:49
  They don't want an honest conversation, and I can see right through that.
• 47:53
  And so I just choose not to answer.
• 47:55
  I don't end my friendship over it, but I refuse to get caught up in those gotchas.
• 48:02
  And again, not one single Republican friend has ever done that to me.
• 48:08
  But I've had multiple Democrats who've they've done it, they thrive on it, they love dissension.
• 48:17
  They love quote getting your take on it.
• 48:22
  I'm like, yeah, I know what that is.
• 48:25
  Because the minute you say something that if I say something that they disagree with, it's heckles up, you know, the claws come out, start scratching out for blood, and I just I have no interest in that.
• 48:44
  And I think a lot of people don't have any interest in that.
• 48:46
  Our time on this earth is valuable.
• 48:49
  And when you spend it pointing fingers at people and talking about how awful they are, and how useless they are, and how homophobic they are, or how how big of haters they are, or how racist they are, or whatever it is.
• 49:00
  How big of haters they are, or how racist they are, or whatever it is.
• 49:07
  I just I don't have time for that.
• 49:07
  I just I don't have time for that.
• 49:09
  And again, that's what I really like about Senator John Fetterman.
• 49:09
  And again, that's what I really like about Senator John Fetterman, because he doesn't name call people.
• 49:14
  Because he doesn't name call people.
• 49:17
  He's not into it.
• 49:17
  He's not into it.
• 49:19
  And there have been people who've tried to bait him.
• 49:19
  And there have been people who've tried to bait him.
• 49:22
  I've watched interviews where they really try to set him up.
• 49:22
  I've watched interviews where they really try to set them up, and they're like, Yeah, we're we're really gonna get them in this gotcha.
• 49:26
  And they're like, yeah, we're we're really gonna get him in this gotcha.
• 49:30
  And Senator Fetterman is just like, yeah, that's people are gonna do what people are gonna do.
• 49:36
  I don't agree with it.
• 49:39
  I don't like it.
• 49:40
  I don't like what the Democratic Party has become.
• 49:44
  I think they're crazy.
• 49:48
  And then he defended his Republican friends in Pennsylvania.
• 49:52
  Not just his Republican friends, Republicans in general.
• 49:56
  He's like, look, I grew up in a in a Republican home.
• 50:00
  I have Republican friends.
• 50:03
  I said, none of them, none of the Republicans that I meet are anything that the Democratic Party says that they are.
• 50:11
  The racists and homophobes and all, you know, all the all the name calls that they call them.
• 50:16
  He said, I don't see any of them that are like that.
• 50:20
  He's like, I think it's very dangerous to use language that's that loaded.
• 50:25
  And again, Senator Fetterman is 100% right.
• 50:31
  He's right, he's right, he's right.
• 50:34
  And they can't stand that he's right.
• 50:37
  And so they've taken up measures to to try to oust him.
• 50:42
  They're gonna remove him from uh from the Senate.
• 50:49
  For what?
• 50:51
  Because you disagree with them.
• 50:53
  He's not done anything that to my knowledge, he's not done anything that's illegal, he's not uh not done anything unethical, it's not seen one thing.
• 51:06
  I thought this was a really interesting article.
• 51:08
  It's a Yahoo news article.
• 51:12
  Uh Fetterman gets stunning rejection from his fellow Pennsylvania-based congressional Democrats when asked if they would back him for re-election.
• 51:21
  This was just last month.
• 51:25
  Uh to say Senator John Fetterman has few friends among Pennsylvania House Democrats would be inaccurate.
• 51:32
  The truth is he has none, according to a report by Max Cohen at Punchbowl News.
• 51:41
  The six foot eight hoodie clad former Pennsylvania lieutenant governor was elected to the Senate in 2022, surviving both a stroke and a rough general election battle against Dr.
• 51:52
  Mohammed Oz, who was endorsed by President Trump.
• 51:58
  Fetterman's tenure in the Senate has been notable for a series of public breaks with the Democrats over issues issues like Israel, immigration, and tariffs.
• 52:08
  He has expressed more openness to supporting several of Trump's nominees than most Democrats, breaking with his party to vote with the Republicans.
• 52:18
  Over the past few years, Fenerman has also racked up several friendly appearances with Fox News host.
• 52:24
  I love this article.
• 52:25
  It's so loaded.
• 52:26
  And other conservative media personalities.
• 52:30
  While the invocation of his name draws booze in liberal circles.
• 52:36
  Like you can hear the disdain here.
• 52:59
  And he's always friendly.
• 53:07
  Even with hosts that are that are rude to him.
• 53:09
  He's always friendly.
• 53:12
  So yeah, really interesting.
• 53:14
  Uh listen to this.
• 53:19
  This is interesting.
• 53:21
  Uh Chatter's been circulating for months that Pennsylvania Democrats would seek to oust Fetterman in the 2028 primary when he's up for re-election.
• 53:30
  Polling shows he's very vulnerable to a primary challenger, as his support among Democrats has essentially collapsed.
• 53:37
  Meanwhile, the state GOP party chair told local media earlier this month that they were keeping an eye out for Fetterman switching parties, despite the senators' repeated insistence, he would not do so.
• 53:49
  In fact, he has burned so many bridges within his own party.
• 53:55
  Not a single Pennsylvania House Democrat in the delegation will say Fetterman should run for re-election as a Democrat.
• 54:03
  All the more reason why he should.
• 55:00
  Nobody should tolerate hatred, hate speech.
• 55:04
  Oh, that's so controversial.
• 55:07
  He may as well become a Republican for saying that.
• 55:11
  Do you see how bizarre this is?
• 55:14
  And that's where I agree with many people.
• 55:17
  The Democratic Party is not what it once was.
• 55:21
  And I do truly, truly, truly believe.
• 55:24
  I will say it again and again and again.
• 55:26
  I believe the Democratic Party is doomed.
• 55:31
  For a minute, for a while.
• 55:34
  There will be a leader who steps up.
• 55:36
  We're already seeing some leadership, but the Democrats have to accept it.
• 55:40
  And right now they're not.
• 55:41
  People like Fetterman are leaders.
• 55:44
  He is a leader.
• 55:46
  Hands down.
• 55:47
  He is a lead.
• 55:48
  He is the leader, I think.
• 55:51
  The one who shows the best leadership skills, the one who makes the most sense, the one who is able to reach across the aisle and work with people on the other side.
• 56:01
  And he's not doing it to spite people.
• 56:01
  And he's not doing it to spite people.
• 56:03
  He's doing it because he legitimately cares about the American people.
• 56:03
  He's doing it because he legitimately cares about the American people.
• 56:06
  And he said that repeatedly.
• 56:06
  And he said that repeatedly.
• 56:08
  So kudos to him.
• 56:08
  So kudos to him.
• 56:10
  And uh I I think times are gonna get very interesting.
• 56:10
  And uh I I think times are going to get very interesting.
• 56:15
  And the Democrats have caused all of it.
• 56:15
  And the Democrats have caused all of it.
• 56:18
  They've done it to themselves.
• 56:18
  They've done it to themselves.
• 56:20
  So it'll be very fascinating to see what happens.
• 56:20
  So it'll be very fascinating to see what happens.
• 56:24
  And that, my friends, is the hidden light.
• 56:24
  And that, my friends, is the hidden light.

  Let the truth come out.

  There is a hidden lightness that shines inside of all of us.
• 56:40
  When there's so much darkness that envelops the world, remember that it doesn't take much light to expose that darkness and to ultimately inspire other people.

  Join me in being a light.
