The Democratic Party is in trouble, my friends. The latest polls are out and poll after poll after poll just shows Democrats should be very, very afraid. At least that's what Politico magazine says. We dug into the polls. Democrats in Congress should be very afraid. We got a handful of stories that have come out recently, of course, with CNN and NBC News saying that Democratic approval rating is at record lows.

29% says CNN, 27% says NBC News. We've now got some more bad news. Anger is erupting at Democrats in the various town halls and otherwise. And of course, they like to point out it's happening with Republicans too, but that's a different story for different reasons, which of course we will address. As the Democratic Party, they're fractured completely. The Democratic constituents that are most active want Democrats in Congress to be vicious. They just want violence.

Revenge or anger or war. I don't know how aggression they're not asking for anything specific. They're not saying we want a better economy because the economy is getting better. Prices are going down. Groceries going down, gas going down, and they're still angry. And the funny thing is, they're really angry at Elon Musk and Tesla, despite the fact that

Tesla produces most of the electric cars in this country. Let me just say it's the top electric car producer. Ain't that good for climate change? Yeah, no. No, they just hate the guy. And they didn't even know what USAID was or why they're mad. Now, to be fair, there are certain stories in the media that will rile them up. If they're going to be watching people like Jon Stewart's and he's not the worst, but he's pretty bad. They're going to be completely confused about what's actually going on in this country.

But there is an emergent Tea Party phenomenon. That's what they're calling it in the media. Progressives are rising up to primary these Democrats who they say do not do enough. Now, what I absolutely love about this story, my friends, is that when you look at the Gallup poll, which just dropped, just shy of 50 percent say, please, Democrats, moderate.

And I think I can say most of us would wish their party would moderate. Maybe we can have some sanity in this country. We don't need all to just be rallied around one political party and the Republicans because Democrats are nuts. Would be nice if there was an actual agreement on social and moral cohesion. Imagine if the Democratic Party was more like Tulsi Gabbard. That's what I was hoping for. Well, you're not likely going to get it because the plurality says Gallup want the status quo or more.

That's right. They want the Democrats to go crazier and further left. Oh, boy. Within this story, I've got a bunch of clips for you, my friends, of just how crazy the Democrats are. Rosie O'Donnell claiming that there was a conspiracy. She flees to Ireland, appears on Irish TV and says Donald Trump stole the election with Elon Musk, the man who owns the Internet. You know, these people have lost their minds completely.

And you know what? They have a large enough cohort in the Democratic Party that will refuse to allow them to moderate. And thus, this morning, another story which is going viral. A progressive 26-year-old out of Illinois seeking to primary the incumbent establishment Democrat. Hey, I'm all for it. Bring it on. Fire these people. And the conservatives, I don't quite understand. They're actually angry at this person. Now, maybe it's 3D, 4D.

5-D chess. The idea among the conservatives is let's anti-endorse these candidates so they actually win. It's a tough call. I'm hardcore endorsing these progressives because it's going to demolish the Democratic Party. Worse than it already is. Maybe that's some kind of silly accelerationism. Let the Democrats go far left so they can't win an election ever again. Maybe the real way to promote the Democrat is to act like you oppose them and support the establishment Democrat.

I don't know. It's like that Babylon Bee article. Ingenious move. Donald Trump comes out, supports impeachment so that Democrats oppose. Indeed.

So let's do this. Let's jump into the story, starting with this from Politico, so we can lay the groundwork of the current polling of the Democratic Party and where it's all headed. Let me just say, my friends, be optimistic. It's looking like even though Trump literally just got in, the midterms are already won. Don't count your chickens before they hatch. You know, we've got to make sure we do this right. What with this big story about the leaked text messages or whatever that journalist is.

Although I don't really believe it was a leak, it's kind of hard to believe they would do it on purpose at the same time. But what a silly story. There can be blunders, but I'm still thinking based on the direction we're seeing in the polls, Democrats lack the, I don't know, awareness to fix their party. And so we're going to get the Trump agenda through. If the Democrats do moderate and then end up winning seats in Congress, Trump will be impeached.

Here's a story from Politico dot com. We dug into the polls. Democrats in Congress should be very afraid. Democratic voters are even angrier than you think. Yes. Democrats, please let the hate flow through you. As I tell you, my friends, it is going to result in Republicans winning the midterms. A Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer, knows better than anyone the Democratic base is pissed off and not just a little.

The intensity of the anger roiling the party is at a historic level, suggesting a breach between congressional Democrats and the party grassroots so severe they could reshape the 2026 primary election season. Congressional Democrats have typically enjoyed higher popularity with their voting base than their Republican counterparts. But the trauma, the trauma.

The 2024 presidential election defeat appears to have ruptured that relationship. A review of Quinnipiac University's annual first quarter congressional polling reveals that for the first time in the polls history, congressional Democrats are now underwater with their own voters in approval ratings. Ladies and gentlemen, let me just stress that again for the first time in history.

Net approval rating among self-identified Democrats or Republicans of their party in Congress is now just around what appears to be negative five. Wow. And look at Republicans supports way up. Are you kidding? Negative nine. Oh, man. Negative nine net approval, with Republicans enjoying 69 percent approval among their voters. Just 40 percent of Democrats approve of the job performance of congressional Democrats compared to 49 percent who disapprove.

That's a dramatic change from this time last year when 75% of Democrats approved compared to just 21%. The Democratic base base's disillusionment runs so deep that it's eerily reminiscent of Republican grassroots sentiment in the period leading up to the two Donald Trump's takeover of the Republican Party. The numbers are clear, no longer satisfied with the status quo in their party. Democrats are on the verge of a Tea Party style intra party revolt. Let's go. Look, I got to be honest.

I don't want Trump to be impeached. I want him to get his agenda through. But part of me also will revel in all of these neoliberal shill corporate politicians losing in primaries. This, in my opinion, will strengthen the populist movement on the right as the coalition between disaffected liberals and conservatives will grow as around 40 percent of Democrats are begging for moderation. So.

We need a strategy meeting here, my friends. What's the game plan? Are we going to actually endorse the progressives and say, you go, you can do it? Or will then they start going, hmm, actually, I don't think it really matters. So me, I'm all on board. Let's go, progressives. I got your back. Maybe even a donation or two.

I would love to send a donation. I wonder what you think would happen. There's some there's this this cat for Congress. There's a couple other progressives. What do you think would happen if I donated to them? And they're like, no, we fight fascism. Well, here's money for you to keep doing it. Because when these people get in, could you imagine what Congress is going to be like if the squad had like 10 more members? If the squad was actually like a major caucus and not just four or five people?

Democratic voters are going to flee in huge numbers. OK, OK, maybe you shouldn't meddle like that. Whatever. Take a look at this. The Democratic approval data is unlike any in recent history, and it isn't a case of bitter, disaffected partisans reacting to a loss in the last election. The first time Democrats lost an election to Donald Trump, their congressional approval ratings within the party actually ticked up.

Democratic-based voters largely approved of the ways that party leadership resisted the Trump administration in early 2017. Let's go! The same phenomenon surfaced among Republicans in 2021.

When, despite Trump's defeat and subsequent chaos of January 6th, Republican voters remained generally positive regarding their views on the congressional GOP. The closest partisan parallel to the level of anger currently gripping the Democratic voters would be roughly a decade ago when Republican political unknown Dave Brat toppled House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in a shocking 2014 primary upset. Two years later, Trump tore through a crowded field of accomplished establishment candidates and forever upended Republican politics. Bravo, good sir.

Please, I'm sorry. Many of you may not agree, but I believe we should ban pharmaceutical ads. I am completely in favor of saying none of that. And many people have pointed out the end result would be corporate press collapses because they rely on this. Now, let's move on, though. We've got a couple of stories that have already outlined this. You've got the Hill rising anger among Democrats fuels talk of Tea Party style backlash against

Senator Bernie Sanders and Rep AOC drew tens of thousands, tens of thousands on stops for their fighting oligarchy tour over the weekend, illustrating what progressives say is their message messages resonance among voters. Meanwhile, progressive lawmakers are signaling the need for a revamp in leadership and messaging. There's this really great breakdown of why Democrats should be terrified. I forgot where I might have been on Fox News. And they're like, not only is their approval record low.

Intra party fighting is causing chaos and an inability to organize. And there's no leader. The question to all of you comment, let me know what you think. Who is the leader of the Democratic Party right now? With the Republicans, it's pretty easy. Donald Trump. And then you can even talk about lieutenants and commanders. You know, the hierarchy of leadership. You've got Trump. You've got J.D. Vance. Obviously, you've got RFK. You've got Pete Hegseth.

There's a ton of people on the right where we're like, look at that backbench. And you've even got different ideologies, too. I mean, many people aren't going to like Nikki Haley, who like Trump, but still, they're Republicans who are willing to go either way. On the left, oof.

Yikes. Now, the funny thing is, Bernie Sanders and AOC were accused, I don't know if this is real, of using astroturfed supporters. Basically, the people who showed up to their rallies are people who just basically go on tour with them. They keep showing up at the same rallies. I don't know that I believe it or need to. AOC is largely popular, and so is Bernie Sanders. But I do love their fighting oligarchy. That's their message. I'd like to express to the Democrats, please listen one time. There's a tweet I put up in the morning.

where an ex-post, I guess we're supposed to say. We all say tweet, you know it. Listen, they're angry that billionaires have so much money. And Bernie Sanders said at one of these rallies, how much money do you need? And it's like, Bezos doesn't actually have that money, bruh.

He gets a salary. He gets bonuses. He does make a lot of cash. But the billionaire, that's just staking a company. When you ask someone how much money do you really need, I know what he's doing. You think Bernie's so dumb he doesn't understand how equity works? Of course he does. So does AOC. You do not get to these levels of success without understanding these systems. I mean, maybe sometimes someone accidentally. But you know AOC knows this. She's just not going to tell you the truth because it gives her power and money.

Okay, the truth is, Bezos and Elon Musk and others start companies. Those companies produce lots of things. Those companies get valuations. So when you say how much money is enough, you're basically saying at some point, everyone who runs a company should stop expanding, stop developing or inventing. So some people become ultra wealthy off of a single product.

I know one guy, he made a lot of money off making one product and then investing that money in one other product. He made a product, sold it. Then he took all the money he got, invested in another company that made one thing. That's it. One thing. So because everybody wants to buy, let's imagine you invented a, here you go. I got a rubber mallet. Order.

Imagine you invented something about it. I don't know, a product. And it's the only thing you did. And a billion people buy it for a dollar and I have a billion dollars cash. Granted, you've got costs. How much money do you really make? That company is going to be worth a lot of money. Should you just be like, no, no, we're not going to sell this useful product to anyone anymore because I've got enough money. No, you're going to be like, wow, people really find use in this. It's helping them quite a bit. And now my company is extremely valuable.

But to Bernie and AOC, their mentality and the Democrat base that supports them is your company's too big. It's too valuable. So stop working. Just go buy an island somewhere. Maybe invite world leaders. Maybe you'll use a private jet. I'm kidding. They're not suggesting that. But you get the point. Well, we do have more stories pertaining to the direct directly the Democrats. So I'll get away from the oligarchy argument, though. I like to make it. Axios report on the 21st. They hate us.

Democrats confront their own Tea Party. Look at this. Rep Sean Caston is confronted by a protester at a town hall at American Legion Post 80 in Downers Grove, Illinois, on March 19th. My friends, I hope they continue to entertain all of this because.

I drove around in my cyber truck. That's right. I got a cyber truck. I drove around in it this weekend. We had one lady nearly hit us on the highway. She got within an inch of the car on the highway and just maintained that position while just staring at us. And I'm like, is she going to hit us? Lady, I'm in a stainless steel truck. Not only that, but the battery's massive. We got the curb weight. Please don't hit me. It's going to be bad for you.

We had some guy spit in our direction. People were pointing at us. One lady rolled down our window and started screaming with her child in the car. One guy looked at me and gave me a thumbs down. I thought that was hilarious. I was like, okay, dude. I gave him a salute. I was like, bro, I don't care. I spent all this money on a Cybertruck. I'm driving it. Not to mention, it feels good.

So let's consider that stupidity for a moment. Now, imagine you're a Democratic rep in Illinois and one of these morons shows up screaming, I hate Tesla. And what are you going to say to that person? What are you going to vote for me? Because I'll regulate Tesla, I guess. Listen, this is a representative democracy. OK, we are a constitutional republic that has representatives that are democratically elected. I try to be very specific because everybody always argues about terms.

That means the person who represents the values of the group is going to be sent to Congress. And the values of the group right now is stupidity. I hate Teslas. Why? Because Elon's bad. Okay, what do you want me to do? I want to send a member to Congress who's going to do bad things to Tesla. But there's nothing we can do. Regulate them. Investigate them.

OK, I guess your eggs will be more expensive. Your gas will be more expensive. Half your party will quit and join the Republicans. They'll win a supermajority. And then Donald Trump will get a steamroller to do everything that he wants. So please, Democrats, please keep doing this. Well, here you go, ladies and gentlemen, from Gallup. More Democrats favor party moderation than in the past. Plurality of Republicans favor status quo for their party. Fewer say it should be more conservative. Really, guys?

Well, I got to be honest. It's my fault. It's my fault. You see, if people like me decided we would stay to save and salvage the Democratic Party, they'd probably have more people pulling them rightward. And I don't mean to the right. I mean, literally just back somewhere closer to the center.

But I don't even think it's necessarily far left. These people are just nuts. The things they want don't actually align politically. You want to investigate Elon Musk? That's not a policy thing. That's a law enforcement thing. Win the executive branch, I guess? Sure.

But you got people like me, Tulsi, RFK Jr., many others. We abandoned the Democratic Party a long time ago and more and more people every day start doing so. So please, please, Democrats, play that tea party. Let's go. Because the rest of the Democratic Party, some 46 some odd percent are going to quit, too. And they're going to join us. Now, that'll be a moderating force on Donald Trump. It already has been. This is fantastic. And it creates a new middle of of the political space.

Maybe we can restore politics in this country by everyone just quitting the Democratic Party who are not nuts and letting the insane group form their own weird third party and they can make their new Green Party. Gallup reports in the wake of the 24 election and Trump's inauguration for a second term as president, a plurality of Democrats would like their party to become more moderate, while a similar plurality of Republicans favor the status quo for their party.

Both groups' preferences have shifted significantly since 21. At the start of Joe Biden's presidency, the last time Gallup measured opinions on the question, support for a more moderate Democratic Party among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents has grown by 11 percentage points to 45% since 2021.

At the same time, Democrats and leaners desire for a more liberal party has declined five points to 29 percent and preferences for no change have fallen nine points to 2022. So it sounds like there is a shift towards a desire of moderation, despite the fact the plurality still says no, no, stay the same or get crazier. Here you go.

Partisans preference of the ideological direction of the parties. So here we go. Democrats and Democrat leaning independence in twenty twenty five. Twenty nine percent says, yo, let's be more liberal. However, you've got twenty two percent saying let's stay the same. Oh, geez.

So you got 51 percent that want to stay where we are or go or go crazier. OK, to be fair, it's the plurality that wants more moderate. OK, but as they describe it, more Democrats favor party moderation in the past. And that's a good thing. But I would say it like this. You've got 51 percent that say stay the same.

Or move left. Now, the reason why I would draw that distinction, as opposed to saying stay the same or move moderate, is that the party's already crazy and the people who want to stay the same, I doubt are going to want to align with Donald Trump.

So while 45 percent may be saying, please slow down the crazy, staying the same means be crazy and more liberal means be crazier. That would mean you've got 51 percent that enjoy at bare minimum being as crazy as they are or being crazier. I think there's actually a bigger distinction between the stay the same of the Democrats and the more moderate. Now, take a look at the Republican and Republican Republican leaning independents. This is where I express that distinction.

Twenty eight percent say more conservative. Twenty seven percent say more moderate. Forty three percent say stay the same. I actually respect it. You know why? You can see equal parts on both sides saying go one way or the other. Most people are like, I kind of think we're doing right here. So, well, it is fair to argue with me, I suppose, and say, no, no, Tim, the Democrats do want more moderation. No, no, no, no, no, no. Stay the same is status quo or crazier.

More moderate means abandon the status quo. That says to me, the Democrats, they're going to go crazier. They're going to go crazier. Now, maybe with only 22 percent actually wanting to stay the same and a large group wanting to moderate, you may get some of the people who say stay where we're at, recognizing the far left as a detriment. I peruse these liberal subreddit forums as I enjoy and love to do to see what they're thinking.

Yo, they're not happy about the terror attacks on Tesla. And I'm not I'm not I'm not here to lie and claim these liberal podcasters are cheering it on. No, no, no. You have prominent personalities who are. We call out Bill Burr, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert. We get it. But you go to some of these liberal YouTuber pages and you see the stories because they do post them about the Tesla arson and the comments. The top comments are all calling it out. Maybe not literally every single one.

But I went to a few of the more moderate, I had to say moderate because none of them really are, but more of the more corporate Democrat accounts without naming any of them. And the comments from people are saying like, this is hurting us really bad. We need this to stop. Protest Elon Musk. They want to see the company fail, but the terror is actually really bad. And they're calling it out. To be fair, many of them are saying it's a false flag and Elon's doing it to himself. So, you know, there's that. But they really do view it as something negative for them.

They're going to say that these changes have occurred in Gallup data. These changes, these changes have occurred in Gallup data show that partisans have grown more ideologically polarized in the past few years. The latest findings from Gallup poll conducted January 21st, 27th, immediately after Trump was inaugurated and several weeks after Trump took control of both houses of Congress. Liberal Democrats favor more liberal party. Moderates prefer moderation. Surprise, surprise. The difference between liberal and moderate Democrats ideological preferences for the party.

Liberal Democrats, 45 percent say be more liberal. Stay the same is stay the same. And moderates, of course, favor being moderate. But take a look at this. This is interesting. Among moderate Democrats, 14 percent say move left. Twenty two stay the same. It's a dramatic shift. So I'm curious as to what will happen. Conservative Republicans split in preference for parties ideology. This we get.

Everyone's kind of happy with where they are. The Republican Party looks like it's actually at a normal bell curve. So we will see.

They're going to say, bottom line, if Republicans won back the presidency and control of the U.S. Senate while also maintaining a slim majority in the House, Trump has begun to enact the conservative agenda he campaigned on. For now, Republicans overwhelmingly approve of Trump and are more satisfied with their party's current ideological bent than Democrats are with theirs. For their part, few Democrats want their party to stand still politically. Of the rest, more believe it should become more moderate than more liberal.

This is a change from four years ago at the start of the Biden administration. OK, fine, fair. Maybe I'm biased, but I'm going to I'm going to explain it again. And you guys comment. Let me know if you actually agree with me. My point is this. The current iteration of the Democratic Party has abandoned Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr., Elon Musk, even Donald Trump. They have excised from their party all of the moderate individuals.

Who is left that is moderate is actually fairly strongly liberal. My point is this. If there are liberals who are satisfied and say stay the same when they have called for far left policy, D.I. graphic porn books for kids, the excising of prominent personalities from their own party, chasing them away, insulting them and calling them fascist. That's where we're at now. If they're OK with that.

I do not view them as individuals who believe they are a moderate party or want to go in that direction. I view a dramatic split between the Democrats who think they should be more moderate. These people clearly don't like the status quo. Now, the liberals who say more liberal already agree with the insanity of the Democratic Party and are saying do more. I view that as one cohort.

Democrats saying, please stop being crazy. And then you have the current Democrats and the more liberal Democrats saying we're actually fine where we are or want to go crazier. Considering the Democratic Party is already crazy. I don't see this as three groups. I see it as two groups. Maybe my bias from Fox News. Trump district Democrat warns the party in trouble ahead of the 2026 midterms.

We don't as Democrats focus enough on the basics, says Rep. Tom Suozzi on Fox News Digital. I think the Democratic brand is really in trouble and it's been portrayed as this crazy left, you know, out of touch thing. Surprise, surprise. So again, I'll stress, here's a guy saying outright, this is how they see us. And you've got 22% to say that's fine. And 29 saying, let's go crazier. I think he's right, but not enough people want to pull them out of crazy. I guess it's one way to put it, right?

51% are crazy. 45% may be a little bit crazy, but at least smart enough to recognize they're losing. Well, there you go. My friends, I give you a great example of the Democrats continuing to go crazy. But I'd like to encourage and endorse Kat Abugazela, who has announced her run for Congress. On social media, conservatives are ragging on her. I'm like, nah.

I hope she wins. She's running against Jan Schakowsky in Illinois. I don't like any. I don't care. Don't know who you are, whatever. Like grew up in Chicago. These people have been there forever. They've run this place on the ground. I can't stand any of them. All of them, all the incumbents go out, whatever. I don't care who, who I don't care who. I'm just sick of the incumbents. So here you go.

You've got this video. Let's roll it for you. I'll play a little bit. This is an example of what the Democrat Tea Party has to give you, my friends. And I encourage you, please support this young woman because this is the kind of politics that we actually want. Notice there's no American flag. She could have put one right here, but a keffiyeh instead. That's right. The pro-Palestine scarf. Yo, please.

I hope she wins. The Democrats will never win another election if people like this keep running. Are dismantling our country piece by piece. And so many Democrats seem content to just sit back and let them. So I say it's time to drop the excuses and grow a fucking spine. I'm Kat Abugazale and I'm running for Congress in Illinois' 9th district. Unfortunately, this party has become one where you have to look to the exceptions for real leadership. As the majority work from an outdated playbook. Not unfair. We need a makeover.

which means we need a vision that's bigger than what we've been told is possible. There is absolutely no reason you shouldn't be able to afford housing, groceries, and healthcare with some money left over. Families should have free childcare, social security should be expanded, and our inalienable rights shouldn't be dependent on who's in power. That means standing up to authoritarians, not shrinking away when the fight gets tough. What I really love about this kind of stuff is...

You can just sort of say things like there's no reason you shouldn't have $100,000 in your bank account right now. Vote for me. And it doesn't really mean anything. So when she says you should be able to own a house and have money and money left over or whatever, it's like, sure. The question is, while we all agree we want people to have houses, groceries and money left over the question, it's how do we get there? Well, she didn't really tell you. She said you should. You know,

We agree. So what's your plan? While current Democratic leadership might be fine cowering to Trump, I'm not. I've spent my entire career reporting on the far right and being attacked by them as a result. In fact, just a few months ago, Elon Musk's lawyers deposed me here in Chicago to ask about my mean tweets. Look, I thought comedy was legal again. This is all to say, I'm not scared of standing up to these people. I know how they think and I know how to beat them. But my campaign itself is going to be different too, because I don't want to wait a year to help people.

We're focused on meeting constituent needs with one simple rule: What if we didn't suck? My campaign and I would rather spend our money on book drives and clothing exchanges and public events than fancy fundraisers for rich donors. I also want my campaign to be as transparent as possible. That's why I'll be posting regular videos about the costs and steps of running for office. We all deserve better. We deserve human rights and financial freedom and a party that stands up to authoritarians. We deserve to thrive.

not just survive. And I plan to fight for those ideals both on the campaign trail and in Congress. If you want to know more about me and what I believe, you can go to catforillinois.com. I do need to mention that campaigns cost money and ask you to contribute what you can, but I promise your donation will not be wasted on old ineffective tactics. No spam. Just new ineffective tactics. Me guilt trip texts, no focus groups to test my views and no

grifty consultants who care more about their paycheck than actually winning. It's time to challenge the status quo. And if our leaders won't do it, we will. I'm Kat Abugazale and I'm running for Congress. Okay, Abugazale. I was pronouncing her name way wrong. Because it's time for Democrats to do more. Okay, so she used to work for Media Matters.

And like, I don't know, it's kind of smarmy. They just it's a rage bait machine, conspiracy theorists, weird garbage. But I genuinely do hope she wins. And I really do hope she pays attention to actual criticisms, because if you go to her website, which, you know, we can pull up right here. Yo, she's she I don't think she's going to win. And I mean, maybe she will.

If we look at the Gallup poll and take it like so, this is again, why am I showing you this? This is one of the most prominent emergent Tea Party leftists. They're calling it. I don't know if it's fair to call the Tea Party, but you get the idea when we say that she wants to primary an incumbent Democrat who's been there forever, basically. But her views are different.

nuts. Look, is she really going to be able to convince her district that you should vote for her because she fights fascism? Now, she made some interesting points. She didn't really explain how she's going to do it, but she said you should have more money. And so that resonates with people. Maybe that'll work for her. I got to be honest. She doesn't seem to understand that the youth demographic will not carry her. She's 26 and she's trying to target a bunch of social media people.

I don't think she's going to be able to win. And I genuinely want her to. Why? Because she's insane. She is a crazy person. And I mean that without any disrespect. I literally think her views are nuts. And telling your district that you're going to fight fascists is like you are an internet bubble world, ma'am. You need to, as they say, touch grass. Because if you actually go out and knock on doors and listen to your consultants who exist for a reason, although I agree with you, they largely suck. A lot of people are going to say this to you.

Ma'am, with all due respect, you've rallied a lot of support on the Internet. That's great for fundraising. It's the faster way to fundraising. Brilliant. But the people are going to vote for you are wondering why. I don't know. I-90 is under construction again. I'm from Chicago, so I know these areas. 94, which one goes through her district?

You're not going to come and be like, well, it's because Elon Musk's a fascist. They're going to be like, lady, my commute to work is already 45 minutes. Now they're doing construction on the interstate. Tell me why that's happening. And can you do something about it to speed it up? That's what you're going to be dealing with. Federal funds for local projects. That's running for Congress. You're going to have to talk to them about federal plans.

Now, to be fair, a lot of people don't understand that members of Congress don't actually affect them locally. They are voting on federal issues. So I do love it when they're like, I'll fight fascists. It's like, OK, is that going to help where I live in any way or represent my values when it comes to foreign policy? Probably not. So, look, far be it for me to tell you, do your thing. But I will say I will say legitimately, I want these people to win because the psychotic,

progressive left will destroy the Democratic Party to a to a hilarious degree, which is a good thing. It's a good thing. The moderates of the Democratic Party are also kind of nuts, in my opinion, because most of the actual moderates, people like me, have long left. There are still some people there, but I think they're deluding themselves. They're lying. I've had conversations with a lot of these people and I ask them simple questions like, hey, you're mad about Donald Trump.

Which political party started arresting the lawyers of their political rival? And like, well, I don't want to answer that question. Oh, come on, dude. The Democrats arrested Trump's lawyers in multiple states. That is unconstitutional. OK, you don't target people's lawyers. You're nuts. You want Democrats want to play that game? I run for the hills. And then Donald Trump says, I'm going to investigate them. I say, please, these people are crazy. They're burning the Constitution. But how about I give you a real world example?

Here's a video of Rosie O'Donnell being crazy. And this is the current state of the Democrats. You know, a lot of people did vote for him. Yes. Do you accept their right to do that and their opinion of him? Well, I respect their right to do that. I question why the first time in American history a president has won every swing state.

Oh, these people are crazy. That's just not true. That is the stupidest thing anyone's ever said. First of all, swing states change. Every election, every few elections, the population shifts. We are going to see a shift in swing states after 2030 because of the census. This is normal. California used to be deep red and had a very small population. Now it's deep blue with the biggest population. One of the biggest. Actually, is it the biggest or is it Texas? I don't know. You get the point.

Donald Trump is not the first president ever to win every swing state. The obvious example, of course, is Ronald Reagan with his 49 state landslide. And that wasn't the only one. But she continues and is also best friends. And his largest donor was a man who owns and runs the Internet. Elon owns the Internet. Yo, lady, please keep talking.

There was a period where I would beg her to stop. Maybe five years ago, I'd be like, please stop. We're trying to get sane, rational leadership over here, ma'am. Yeah, I liked Andrew Yang. He's been a disappointment. Tulsi Gabbard, not so much. She's fantastic. And this is what you get.

This is what you get the Democrats. So I would hope that that would be investigated and that we would see whether or not it was an anomaly or something else that happened on election night in America when Kamala Harris was filling up stadiums with people who supported her. And Donald Trump was not able to do that. Isn't it remarkable how much fake nonsense she believes?

I'm not going to sit here and say that Democrats were hiring people to fill seats. That's stupid. It's not true. Sometimes, sometimes, but it's not, you know, people on the right, they're like, they're protesters. They're all paid. No, they're not. It's so annoying. I'm sorry, guys. I'm sorry. I got to say it.

What we know, NGOs will hire organizers to create protests, but they're not hiring individuals to show up and protest for the most part because it happens sometimes. And it is rare that you'll get seat fillers or people will be paid to stand in a small crowd. They're usually not that big. Everybody assumes that whenever there's a big protest, it is all paid shills. Stop.

Rosie O'Donnell is doing the inverse. Donald Trump, of course, was able to rally massive crowds. I've been to his rallies. They're nuts. Not always very, very big, sometimes a couple thousand people. But the man could certainly fill seats with lines out the door. Kamala Harris didn't do as well, but she was able to fill, you know, big arenas to a certain degree.

Rosie O'Donnell is a nut job. So it's curious to me. And as an American and a believer in democracy, I would hope that we would be able to look at all of the reasons why this happened. Donald Trump is the first president in history to win every swing state. Let's just entertain that as true. OK, maybe it's because.

He's popular. I mean, it's not true. Ronald Reagan won every single swing. He won near every state. So how about that? But it's it's here we go. Here's more Democrat absurdity. The same diet says white women. We lose less weight and we lose it slower, even when we're following the diet than our white women counterparts. It's literally that.

The racism that you're experiencing and the struggle to make ends meet actually means the diet don't work for you the same. The same. Diets are racist. That's another core element of left and woke ideology. What's next? Oh, here's Jasmine Crockett.

actually attacking a reporter. Yo, legit. Jasmine Crockett attacked a Loomer Unleashed reporter. Oh, come on. Stop making it so easy for us. OK, look, Pam Bondi came out

And told Jasmine Crockett she could be censured by Congress for calling for Elon Musk to be taken down. Lady, when this is happening, the last thing you should be doing is grabbing somebody, assaulting them. OK, because you don't like they're asking you a question specifically about your calls for violence. But I guess it's where we're at. Well, Cash Patel has stepped up.

Cash Patel sharpens warning message for Tesla domestic terror perpetrators ahead of day of action. Oh, boy. My friends, if you are just tuning in, smash that like button. Share the show with everyone you know. Post this on all social media. It really does help. You can follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast. And, you know, sharing is caring.

Sharing does support the work that we do, but let's get back in and talk about what we've got going on. As the Democrats continually lose their minds, the important thing to understand is that while I've made my argument why I think the party is either crazy or wants to be crazier, there's actually more polls showing that Democrats want our Democrat voters want the politicians to be more aggressive against Trump. This at a time when we're actually getting terrorism.

Now, Kash Patel is sending a warning message, and I think we might have another video. Take a look at this. Libs of TikTok, a man in North Carolina had his Tesla shot at with a BB gun. Take a look at this. Martinez hits the highway and his Tesla Model S. Oh, it drives fantastic. Yeah, it's my first. But now it feels risky to drive. Investigators say someone shot out his driver's side window with a BB gun as he drove through the town of Zebulon late Sunday night. I'm going to pause right quick.

BB gun is the wrong way to put it. I don't think that's a BB gun. You can see that it did damage the window, but I'm pretty sure most BB guns would bounce off glass. I would assume that this is probably like a higher power pellet, air compression, you know, break action gun of some sort. We have a family. We got kids, you know, so...

Who knows if that would have gone through and I was right with my kids or it would have hit my buddy or something. Vandalism and threats against the electric car brand continue to rise throughout the country. Authorities cracking down on public backlash against Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his involvement with the Trump administration. FBI Director Kash Patel calls the acts of vandalism domestic terrorism, adding those responsible will be pursued, caught and brought to justice.

In Southern Wake County, Tesla owner Jeremy found the words "Nazi" carved in his vehicle. He purchased his Tesla in 2019 and says he's unfairly targeted. Driving around previously, I've had folks roll coal on me or give me the middle finger or things like that cut me off, you know, pretty aggressively on purpose. You know, pay attention. Just pay attention to your surroundings. Be careful. Unfortunately, we're just in a

Crazy time at the moment. A warning from one Tesla driver to another as the electric vehicle brand becomes the subject of political violence. So let's just take a step back to old Kash Patel here and we'll reassess where we are with the state of the Democrats. They have been firebombing Tesla facilities, vandalizing vehicles. We've covered the story extensively over the past couple of weeks. Now you have an individual who was driving in his car and they shot at his window with what appears to be a pellet or BB gun.

I think this is going to end very, very badly. The other day, the story we had was that a man drove into a crowd of Tesla protesters. I'm telling you, people can only tolerate so much. People are going to snap. Nobody should be doing this. But this guy apparently drove up on a curb. That's what I'm hearing now with these developments is that the protesters on the sidewalk and he actually went up on the curb, nearly hitting them. Here's what I fear. I fear dramatic escalation in violence.

And as these Tesla protesters are like, you've got a story now where a guy had his window shot shattered by a BB gun of some sort. Again, I think BB gun is an unfair way to assess what that was, but maybe that's what it was. Seems like a BB wouldn't really break that window. What happens now for every other Tesla owner who has seen the violence, the vandalism, and now this could have killed the guy. You know, you hear about these stories where kids throw rocks off the overpass and

There was one really sad story recently. These kids threw a large rock off an overpass. It went through the window and hit the passenger. Understand this car is going 50 miles an hour. So when the rock comes in and he hits it, that's like getting smacked in the chest by a rock at 50. It killed him. And they just thought, well, he's going to drop rock on the car. The car will get damaged. With these BB gun strikes, if that guy was driving and his woman got shattered out, it actually broke and glass went flying and he swerved and crashed. You can die from that.

What if his kids, his friend, as he mentioned. So what happens now when some other guy's driving in his car, someone's got a rifle, maybe it's just a BB gun, brake action, right? The air compression one, they pointed at him. He slams the brakes on, swerves, jumps out of the car, shoots him. What happens if some dude, whoever fired this, listen, what if they're standing there and they see a Tesla, so they pull up their rifle and some guy sees that and just panics, shoots him. We are so dangerously close.

To an escalation of violence here with all of this stuff. Case in point, when the Democrats say they want more and they cheer this stuff on and Jasmine Crockett herself says she wants him taken down for her birthday. She says, I mean, politically, what do you mean? He's not a politician. So what does that mean financially? OK, well, the financial way they're trying to hurt him is they're terrorizing Tesla owners so that they're too scared to buy the vehicles. That's terrorism. What's the answer?

Kash Patel sharpens warning message for Tesla domestic terrorism perpetrators ahead of day of action. It's not enough. I'm sorry. I think cash is great. I think, Dan, they're great. But understand, a reaction does not assuage the fears of people who may drive Teslas. If law enforcement can solve this after the fact, it doesn't change the fact that your family was injured, your car was damaged, you were threatened or otherwise. So I don't see this as being the way out.

They're going to arrest people, maybe eventually that stops things. But I actually think we are likely to see violence before anything else. An arrest and a prosecution could take months, could take years. So in the meantime, as these protesters are, to be honest, largely getting away with it, someone's going to be driving in their Tesla in a state that allows guns. I mean, look at Virginia. Virginia has Loudoun County, which is fairly moderate, but a lot of blue. And you get closer to D.C., you get Alexandria, right?

You are allowed to carry arms in Virginia. You are allowed. I don't know the exact rules, so look them up. But I believe open carry is allowed. Let me double check this. Virginia open carry. Let's let's see. There is no law. There is no law in Virginia. Gun laws in Virginia regulate the sale possession and use of firearms. OK, so for long guns, you do not need a permit to purchase a handgun or a long gun.

You do not need to register either. You do not need a license for either. You do not need a permit for concealed carry of a long gun. You do need one for concealed carry of a handgun. You do not need a permit for open carry of a long gun or a handgun. So what happens in a place like Virginia where people because the point is, this is actually a deeply blue area. Someone's allowed to open carry a handgun without a permit.

So they're going to have their holster or whatever, gun at their side. And then something happens with the Tesla. And then someone shoots someone else. What happens with one of these guys? You're allowed to drive in your car. It was my understanding.

You can drive in your car, open carrying. The joke, I was told that you can ride shotgun, literally, where that's where they used to be in the horse-drawn carriage. The guy sitting next to the person driving would have a shotgun for protection. And so that's the joke. I don't know if that you can actually be brandishing the shotgun while you're driving. It's a joke, my friends. But someone might be driving and they are allowed to open carry. So they're going to have their gun on them. Not

Not only that, but I mean, most states are going to have permit carry anyway. And what happens when someone tries to act a fool and that guy in the car freaks out and sees them raise a BB gun or whatever they have, and he just draws his weapon and fires through the window, whatever, kills that guy. Where do we go as a country when this violence escalates? And I'll say it again, even with cash going after these people, the scary thing is,

What's the resolution? Six months, maybe they arrested several people for this. Pam Bondi says they're in jail. Do you think the left is deterred by this? These people are going on social media and calling for murder and death. They get Internet points for it. So I got to tell you, my friends, I hope no, but it really does seem like this is escalating to a dangerous degree. Now, anyway, I talk about that quite a bit. So let me just get back to the the core message at hand, my friends.

Democrats are insane. You know, Republicans got their faults and there are there's a faction of crazy Republicans. But the Republicans have an alliance right now with disaffected liberals, people who left the Democratic Party, giving Trump the popular vote win for the first time in 20 years. The Democrats want to maintain this degree of domestic terror and cheer for it like they did on The Daily Show, on Stephen Colbert's show and Jimmy Kimmel's show. People aren't going to vote for him. How many people this is? Look, you know, I can cheer for the Democrats being crazy, but not this.

But I'll still say, how many liberals bought Teslas two years ago or even a year ago? Colbert went on his show and said, I drive a Tesla. Gas prices don't affect me. He's making a joke. Maybe he doesn't really drive a Tesla. We assume he does. Liberals all bought electric cars because the cult said to climate change is bad. Now they're being threatened with violence and death for having Teslas. A working class liberal person can't afford to flip a Tesla they financed.

especially if demand is down because of the terror. So these people who said, OK, left, OK, liberals all buy an electric car are now saying they're attacking me, they're threatening me, and I can't sell the car because then I'll be in debt and I won't be I'll be underwater on my loan. What do I do? I got to be honest. Those people are going to be voting Republican.

We've been working on for those that are watching outside of Rumble. This is the Rumble morning lineup noon hour where yesterday I believe Stephen Crowder was the number one show and I was the number two show at the same time. It's incredible.

Something amazing is happening in this space and platform monopoly is breaking. YouTube no longer owns this space. Rumble's doing a great job. They're going to have to step it up. But so far, they are dominating the live stream space. And it really is something incredible. There are a lot of platforms to live stream on prominent people. Twitch, kick, twitch, kick and rumble. What did Van Jones say? It sounds like an illness or an affliction. And YouTube, of course, YouTube's been trying really hard to get live.

But they burned us. They burned us hard. So Rumble's picked it up and they've given people an opportunity and a chance. And these featured streams shows their commitment to it. Thank you all so much. So let's grab some of your Rumble rants. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. Rage LB says, birthday for me today, level 35. And I make daily content on Rumble and YouTube. Rage LB on Rumble. Rage LB3 on YouTube. Thanks, Tim. Shout out. Happy birthday.

Brab Zach says, Dems are going crazy. Indeed, sir. It took me but 50 minutes and I still haven't articulated every thought I have on how crazy Democrats are. Liber8USA says, I didn't get rated because I have Rumble Premium. Everyone else did, but it seems like Crowder is holding out. Love, Tim. Too much to miss it. Well, Crowder does an hour show free in an hour, I think another hour of...

leadership. Lisa says, stay for the same. Stay for the same Democrats equals keep losing over and over. And that is insanity. Agreed. I think the Democrats who are like, stay the same are crazy because the Democrats today are crazy. All right.

What does it say? IKY thought I was going to catch the live while on my way away from just one job site to the next. But Tim is late. We'll have to listen on our way home. Shout out to my coworker, Spencer, and make him listen to you every day. In fact, I was not late. I actually went live slightly before noon. I usually go live a few minutes before noon. Sir, I don't know what you missed.

civil liber listen to you last night. The left already didn't give us fair trials in due process withholding evidence. The Jay Sixers, your argument, they might do the same to us as moot. You are misunderstanding my friend. My argument is that the Democrats already violated the constitution and thus Donald Trump must investigate and arrest those who already did these things. My argument is not your, I'm going to stress this again. My argument yesterday was

The day before and in the interview with Trigonometry is not that Democrats may use powers against us. That is the opposite of my argument. My argument is that no matter who is in power, a moral degenerate, a moral degenerates will enact a moral degeneracy against you. So the argument that we should not use powers because Democrats use it against us later is moot.

Now, in real time, Democrats have already violated the Constitution, going after Trump's lawyers, trying to put him in prison, seize his assets, etc. So why are we sitting here being like, oh, no, the norms, we can't violate the norms. What do you mean the norms have been violated? Trump is a wartime president. Doesn't mean he's at war. It means he must now consider taking actions against people in a commensurate fashion. So my view is largely different.

Principles, this argument, if you give the powers to the president, the next president will use them against you only applies in a morally and socially cohesive country where you fear one faction may run afoul.

We are no longer in a morally cohesive country. The left moral worldview is dramatically different from the rights. The right is the is the Christian traditional moral worldview. Atheists and agnostics can try and argue that all they want, but it is a fact I am not making up. It's not an opinion. The moral tradition of this country is informed by Christian traditional values. The reason why we have a right to a free to a speedy trial, a jury of our peers and all of these things are rooted in the Christian moral tradition.

Then you also, of course, have the Enlightenment. I know the arguments about the founding fathers being deists and all of that, but it is still the root of it came from a Christian world tradition. That's the point. It's a fact. Our ancestors, our history was Christian. Now, the argument I've heard from many is that there's no such thing as one Christian.

No, there is the evolution of things. You certainly wouldn't be like humans don't exist because there is no one human. Why? Because humans evolve. Sure. But we're still human. And humans became what they are today through this process. Go to China. Go to India. They do not have the same moral tradition. India has a caste system. We don't have that. Japan is an honor based system where they committed seppuku for a long time. It's a very different moral tradition.

Amtru says by targeting Tesla's, the Dems are terrorizing their own voters. Wonder who they're going to be voting for now. Things that make you go, hmm, agreed. They are terrorizing their own voters. Pinochet says here in Massachusetts, it is impossible to get a license for a firearm and Democrats are rightfully disarmed here anyway. You know, to be fair, you are less likely to find guns in places where a lot of these individuals are unable to buy guns. But it was it was funny.

That so many people so many people freaked out over the gun thing when they couldn't buy him during the summer of love riots. I see a wife. It's saying Russell Brand is up next to not Jeremy. Well, you know, I got to tell you guys, you got to text me because if you don't text me.

What the schedule is, the only information I got was that Jeremy would be live like he was yesterday. But if it is Russell Brand, then hey, base, shout out to Russell Brand, who is actually about to start right now. Indeed, we'll be rating Russell Brand. Okay. So, man, shout out. Big fan of Russell Brand. He's an awesome guy. And you know what I want to say about Russell before we initiate this raid and send you guys on over to watch Good Sir Russell is that I met him.

And there's something about people like Russell and Zachary Levi, because I met him too. These guys have too much charisma. What do I mean? They're so nice. They are respectful, and they treat you like a celebrity when they themselves are the celebrity. And that's what makes people like them so much, in my opinion.

I was at an event in D.C. and I was standing with my wife just kind of off to the side minding our own business. Russell is walking by with his security. And as he's walking, he stops and looks at me and he goes, Tim, oh, man. And he comes up and he shakes my hand and he makes you feel welcome. He makes you feel like you need to be there and you're a part of this moment. And I deeply respect it because, you know,

This is this is how you build social cohesion. And it's why the dude is so successful, because you guys know when you watch him, he makes you feel like like you're meant to be here. I met Zachary Levi, the actor as well. Same thing. You meet these people who are massive personalities with big followings and they treat you like it's actually you who should be respected. And I saw Russell do this with other people and Zachary is other people. It's not just about me.

And that's why I think they're good people. Magnanimous, as it were. My friends, gear up. We are sending you over to watch Russell Brand right now. So follow me on X and Instagram. Don't forget promo code Rumble10 at castbrew.com for the coffee. Let's fire away that raid. Confirmed.

And then we're going to blast that link here and pin it so that you guys make sure anybody, you know, I know that we do this, the raid. We basically say, everybody go watch this next channel. The raid fires away. Everybody jumps over to the next show.

I want to make sure we get it through. So I'm going to post that link right there in the chat for all of you that are watching. Give a heartfelt thank you to everybody who tuned in to this morning show. We're back, of course, tomorrow at noon. We have segments going up all throughout the day. And then at 8 p.m., we'll be live with Timcast IRL. And tonight's guest is Terrence Williams. So, you know, it's going to be fun and funny. Thank you all so much for hanging out. And we will see you all tonight.

The shocking scandal rocking the United States and military world that Donald Trump's cabinet members, vice president, secretary of defense, were all accidentally texting.

An adversarial journalist, key information about their strike plans on Yemen. How could such a blunder have happened, asks the press. The latest development, of course, is that Mike Waltz is an effing idiot, is a quote from someone. Apparently, officials blamed for revealing Trump team's tax, saying they loathe bailing out Europe's pathetic freeloaders is not going to survive this. White House insiders say.

So for those that missed the story, basically, this journalist, Jeffrey Goldberg, accidentally got added to a text message group where the highest levels of U.S. government were gleefully texting each other their plans for a military strike in Yemen mere hours before actually carrying it out. Which, you know, maybe, I guess. I got another theory for you. If you look at these text messages, we talked about this last night on TimCast.io.

They're basically laying out their PR campaign for why they're bombing Yemen, which is not good, by the way. And Trump said he wouldn't do it. I got to be honest. I really do lean towards their playing this journalist to get out a message and using this as a as a PR manipulation. Look at it this way. If Donald Trump were to come out.

and say, we had no choice but to bomb the Houthis in Yemen, people are going to say, we don't know where Yemen is. We don't know who the Houthis are. We don't know why you're bombing foreign countries. We are not happy about this. In fact, that's actually what happened. So while it may be, to be totally fair, like these people just accidentally put the wrong guy on the group chat, I think there's another scenario.

They wanted to get a PR narrative out that made them look good or at least presented the public message they were hoping for. We are tired of bailing out Europe. The Houthis are terrorist rebel factions bombing cargo ships, and the U.S. doesn't want to do this. Many in the administration don't want to be doing this, but we're the only ones who can put a stop to the obstruction of the shipping in the Red Sea to the Suez Canal.

I'm going to have to go ahead and say I think they're manipulating this journalist because he basically published their PR message for them. But now, of course, the media is losing their minds. They're claiming this is a huge blunder, but maybe it's intentional. Here's the latest update in the story as the scandal grows. The Daily Mail reports White House insiders have vented their anger at National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, with one reportedly calling him an effing idiot.

After it emerged that he added a prominent journalist to a secret group chat revealing highly sensitive war plans. Everyone in the White House can agree on one thing. Mike Waltz is an effing idiot. The source identified as a person close to the White House bluntly told Politico. The Atlantic's magazine editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, revealed yesterday that he was invited by Waltz to join a chat on the encrypted app signal entitled Houthi PC small group. OK, OK.

I got to give you some media literacy lessons real quick. And I know some people get offended. Say, Tim, I know all these things. It's not for you. That's for people who don't know. Notice how they said in quotes, a person close to the White House. I ask you what that means. Do you assume it means it's a high level government employee who is close with White House personnel? Or does it mean.

They were standing next to the White House and some homeless guy was picking his nose and they asked him what he thought. And he went, I want is an effing idiot. And they said this person who's close to the White House. I'm not kidding. You think these people don't play those games? I once had a writer for I think it was New York Mag.

Take two different quotes of mine. So we talked for like a half an hour. They took a quote from the first 10 minutes and a quote from the last few minutes. And then they published them next to each other to make an entirely different quote that they could then say. But that is a quote from Tim Pool. This is what they do. So I don't believe it for a second.

Now,

The White House is denying that any of the information that was shared was classified. And Goldberg says it was, but I'm not going to show you. I don't buy it. I really don't. I think they're manipulating this guy. And that's why they admitted it. The spokesperson for the National Security Council said this appears to be a genuine chain and showing a deep and thoughtful process. I'm like, are you kidding me? These people are so stupid. Oh, man. Look.

Anybody can be stupid, right? Anybody can be stupid. But these people are a special kind of stupid. I used to do marketing for nonprofits, man. We do marketing campaigns. We have a bunch of ideas for big marketing stunts that we've considered doing, but ultimately just, you know, man...

The marketing stunts that we thought about doing are like culture jams in D.C., which is I don't I don't want to give away too much, but let's just go with a random example of some nonsense. Skywriting, hiring someone to write a message in the sky or something like that, you know, creating press. These kinds of strategies are crazy.

PR manipulation 101. So for those who didn't see the story we talked about last night, here's a tweet from Brian Krasenstein. He says the Trump administration accidentally texted a journalist, Jeffrey Goldberg, from the Atlantic, their top secret war plans on Yemen. Texts are below between Vance and Hegseth in which the journalist was included. Imagine if Biden did this so incompetent. This is this is the point. I guess I can't even with these people. They've they are now publishing images of the PR narrative of

That the White House is hoping would get out. Now, look, I'm going to say this. Maybe, maybe it was an accident and they put this guy in the text chain. Mike Waltz has Jeffrey Goldberg's phone number in his phone. Maybe don't know who he would be trying to add, but he added him to the group by accident somehow because maybe sausage fingered the phone. I think.

I think Vance Hegseth, Trump and them got together and said, we need a positive spin on the Yemen strikes. It goes against what our core messaging was. You know, the president said he wasn't going to be bombing these foreign countries. How do we get that message out? If we issue a statement, it won't matter. The media won't pick it up. How about we group chat, accidentally bring in some journalists and let them get access to it all. Then he publishes it as a blunder.

But the images that get published prove or espouse our view on these strikes. This is not even advanced level marketing manipulation, not even advanced level. So look at this. J.D. Vance at Pete Hegseth. If you think we should do it, let's go. I just hate bailing out, bailing Europe out again. Let's just make sure our messaging is tight here. And if there are things we can do up front to minimize risk to Saudi oil facilities, we should do it.

The next message, Hegseth says, VP, I fully share your loathing of European freeloading. It's pathetic. Pathetic in caps. But Mike is correct. We are the only ones on the planet on our side of the ledger who can do this. Nobody else even close. Question is timing. I feel like now is as good a time as any given POTUS directive to reopen shipping lanes. I think we should go, but POTUS still retains 24-hour decision space.

Then SM says, as I heard it, the president was clear green light, but we soon make clear to Egypt and Europe what we expect in return. We also need to figure out how to enforce such a requirement, e.g. if Europe doesn't remunerate, remunerate, sorry, then what? If the U.S. successfully restores freedom of navigation at great cost, there needs to be some further economic gain extracted in return. I'm sorry.

Maybe I'm just I'm a crazy person. Maybe I'm biased. There's a reason why I think so many people find themselves on one side or the other. But can I just ask you guys, have you ever had a meeting or group chat that goes into this kind of like let me let me clarify. They're not using shorthand. OK, which every every conversation I have online uses some kind of shorthand. OK.

It's also like very surface level 101. Let me tell you about my group chats, bro. Um, when we do, first of all, if we're doing high level meetings at this company, I, this is supposedly two hours before the strikes were happening.

I cannot even get chicken wire installed in the ground in two hours, let alone they're bombing a foreign country to open shipping lanes in two hours. They need to assess the locations of the Houthis. They need to discuss targets. And you're not doing it in two hours. But more importantly, when I look at these messages that actually got published, I'm like, this doesn't look legit at all. This looks like someone was being fed a script.

They're basically saying in all these texts, everything MAGA people would want to hear. We're bailing out Europe. The only thing that kind of makes sense is potentially the risk to Saudi oil facilities. But that may be for the benefit of the Saudi, the Saudis. So it says we're bailing out Europe again. Mike is correct. We're the only ones on the planet who can do this. We've got to reopen shipping lanes, man. Really? Come on.

Trump has spoken more bluntly in public than these messages. Trump has said, we got very bad guys. We're going to blow them up. Not literally, but you get the point. The president was clear. Egypt and Europe must remunerate. This sounds like a message to MAGA. It sounds like a trick. I'm sorry. So incompetent. And it was within two hours. So you mean to tell me

Within two hours of a military strike on a foreign country and terroristic faction, they started having a group chat where they laid out all of their public messaging on the issue. Why would they be debating this in text like this? It makes literally no sense. Sorry, whatever. Well, Politico's got it. They say Waltz's future is in doubt. Maybe again. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe they're going to fire this guy, perhaps. But let's not forget the Atlantic.

Jeffrey Goldberg wrote the story back in 2020. Trump called American troops suckers and losers. And I don't believe it for a second. Donald Trump doesn't talk that way. You could like you can go to Mar-a-Lago. You can see him sitting down at a dinner table and you can hear everything he says. In what context ever sitting down going, the veterans are all suckers and losers.

OK, there's a possibility he may have said something. The effect of the American people were goaded into World War One. These people were suckers and losers, not in the sense that they're bad people or weak people, but that they were manipulated people. Maybe I don't believe it for a second, though. I don't trust these people. Look at this story.

Trump canceled the visits to blah, blah, blah. Trump rejected the idea because he feared he would become disheveled in the rain. Please. Why should I go to that cemetery? It's filled with losers. In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to more than 1,800 Marines who lost their lives at Bella Wood as suckers for getting killed. Are you kidding me? This is too comic book villain. And then I get to wondering, did they maybe loop this guy in because they treat him like a sucker and a loser?

The first thing I'll tell you this, the way the military industrial complex, the intelligence agencies leak stories and manipulate the press. They will contact some thirsty, sad journalist and say, hey, I'm going to be a source for news for you. Here's how the news works. If they can print it without liability, they're going to print it. If the story won't get clicks, they're not going to print it. If it bleeds, it leads. Right.

So what we would often see is intelligence agents, assets or otherwise, would contact a journalist and say, I've got a scoop for you and here's my proof. Meet me here. Then they would be like, take a look. I'm CIA. The person would do a quick vet and be like, this person's legit CIA. Then they'd be like, I am blowing the whistle on this story. Take a look at these documents.

In reality, these are approved and sanctioned operations from intelligence agencies to get journalists to publish these stories. The journalists are more than happy to publish the PR campaign of the intelligence agencies because it gets some clicks and then they get they can put their byline on and say, I have a source in the government. Deep throat. Now, Donald Trump and his administration are adversarial with the media, particularly with the Atlantic and this guy.

So would they be able to leak to a journalist their PR message and get it published? Nope. When Donald Trump ordered the strike on Yemen one week, a week and a half ago, he got roasted for it. Donald Trump wanted a narrative to come out. And that narrative was we don't want to bail out Europe, but we have to do it to reopen shipping lanes. We expect remuneration. And J.D. Vance said this goes against the president's messaging strategy.

Are you kidding me, dude? Holy crap. This reads to me like typically, as I mentioned, intelligence individuals will leak to the press and say, you can trust me.

But in this administration, nobody trusts him. So if someone from the intelligence came and said they're planning to strike Yemen, here's why. And it said, we begrudgingly do this. We don't want to bail out. They're not going to publish it. They're going to say this makes Trump look good. This gives this shows reluctance. It shows deep thought. It shows them saying we don't want to. But we're the only ones on the planet who can do this. Nobody is even close.

It is presenting the scenario where their hands are tied. They don't want to betray the voters. They don't want it to happen. And they also expect compensation for doing this. Come on. Listen, Barack Obama murdered, murdered a 16-year-old American citizen. Am I supposed to believe that he's sitting there on his couch texting? Hey, guys, let's go with two hours from now. Let's blow up a civilian restaurant in Yemen and kill an American child.

Do you think this is the kind of conversations they're having? I will stress this. No matter how professional you are, we use shorthand and we speak informally over text. OK, listen, there's this is what this is what really gets me. I can go on my phone. I've got sources. I've got people who work in administration. We've interviewed many of these individuals.

And the texts I have with them are not so clean cut with perfect grammar and the use of a semicolon. Come on. Pete Hegseth used a semicolon in this text message. You expect me to believe that you use semicolons while you're texting people at work? I don't buy it for a second. Nobody uses semicolons. So anyway.

I don't know. I really don't think that they're going to fire Mike Waltz. I don't see that happening. But again, maybe I'm completely wrong. Maybe this is them being fumbling, bumbling morons and they're as dumb as everyone thinks. I don't know. But I also think more to the point, these journalists are as dumb as a box of rocks. You could you could manipulate these people so easily and don't take it. Take my word for it. Just look at how Donald Trump ended up winning in 2016.

They say he got five billion dollars in free press from manipulating the media. He comes out and he has that quote. A lot of people deny he said this, but he did say it. He said Donald J. Trump is calling for a complete and total ban on Muslims, Muslims entering the country until we can figure out what the hell's going on. He said something to that effect. And then he called for the travel ban. Then he implemented this travel ban later on from several countries. This is after he got elected.

And they said he wants to ban all Muslims. Trump did things like that, which he would never actually he never actually implemented. But he said these things because it puts him at the top of the headlines every single day. And they called him a demagogue for it. But I got to tell you, you expect me to believe that Donald Trump, media savvy guy. And then all of a sudden they accidentally publish the perfect PR narrative. Look, come on.

Pete, I agree. OK, at least there is some shorthand. But here's a question for all you guys. Why would they have a meeting to this degree over the phone? Now, Goldberg says they were discussing targets and and and key information. Were they?

If they actually were going to be discussing with Secretary of Defense, the vice president, national security advisor, wouldn't they need to look at maps and images of the targets to explain the ranges of where we're at, why we're doing it? You expect me to believe. Come on, guys. These people are so gullible. You expect me to believe that they decided to launch a strike on Yemen without knowing anything about their locations or targets. J.D. Vance, like I'm in Michigan right now, two hours before.

Like I said, I can't get chicken wire installed in two hours. And they think we can strike a foreign nation and enemy combatants just in two hours. I just I can't even with these journalists, man.

This is why they publish fake news all the time. They are as gullible as gullible can be. It's why Jonathan Shait went on MSNBC and said Donald Trump may be a Soviet asset. Soviet. I kid you not. I'm not kidding. He said Trump may have been a Russian going back as far back as the 80s. My friends, the 80s, that was called the Soviet Union, and they collapsed. And don't get me wrong. A lot of those power structures maintain themselves in Russia.

But the idea that Trump is a former Soviet asset was the stupidest thing I ever heard. And they ran the story because these people don't know, don't care. And they are very, very dumb. Ain't that something? I don't know, man. You know, look, I'll round it out by saying maybe I'm wrong. Maybe these people really are just so stupid that Mike Waltz sausage fingers Jeffrey Goldberg. It happens. You know, people get butt dialed.

I'm just wondering why they are discussing bombing Yemen over text. It doesn't make any sense. There's not even a way for that to accidentally happen. And I will stress again, for those that are that are watching, where's where's the shorthand? Where where where are the jokes? Not even necessarily the jokes, but like, you know what I mean?

Mother's Day gifts at Bath and Body Works. It's kind of like my favorite scent. Oh, this is good. This is literally the perfect gift for me. So don't just give mom a gift. Thank you so much. I love it. Thank you. Best Mother's Day ever. Give her a moment only at Bath and Body Works. Where's any informality between individuals who know and work with each other?

When you're giving a PR statement, OK, when you've got two people who are set up to give PR statements, they sit down and they say, look, these read like someone wrote a script for a teleprompter. Having Pete Hagsett stand at a podium and say, well, I do consider the concerns of the American people about bailing out Europe. I believe our national security advisor is correct. The United States are the only ones on the planet who can actually take this action. There's nobody even close. The question is our timing.

I feel like now is a good time as any given the president's directive to reopen these shipping lanes. I think it's something we have to do. Donald Trump, the president, will retain a 24 hour decision on this space. It sounds like he's reading from a prompter to a crowd, to a journalist. I just and why would he need to include semicolon? But POTUS still retains 24 hours. These are implied. The point is the message was for the press. OK, I'm done ranting because I'm not. We're just going on too long. You get the point.

I don't you tell me. You tell me. Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe it's not always for DHS. Maybe they really are slipping on banana peels and accidentally pulling off backflips. That's how I imagine the media thinks of Trump. He's walking on the street, slips on a banana peel. That's a perfect backflip lands in perfect form. And they're like, aha, the moron slipped on a banana peel. And I'm like, bro, you just published the exact message. They're saying they need to get to the public in the messages.

All right, I'm done. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. Follow me on X and Instagram at Tim Cass. We got more coming up today and we'll see you all then. They're calling it the Democrats Tea Party. Outrage with the current establishment in the Democratic Party. Many progressives are lining up to launch primary challenges against the incumbent neoliberal establishment candidates. And I'm all for it. This is Cat for Congress.

I mean, no disrespect when I say this. I believe your last name is Abugazela. I genuinely try to pronounce your name right, so forgive me if I'm not getting it correct. She has announced as a 26-year-old progressive a campaign against Illinois' 9th District's Jan Schakowsky.

And I despise these people in Illinois so much that as much as many people might say, Tim, why would you actually endorse and root for a 26 year old TikTok progressive whose issues make no sense? I'd be like, well, I don't think they're going to win. And I actually think the neoliberal establishment is substantially worse than the progressive alternative. So let me put it like this.

These these neoliberal, neoconservative establishment folks need to be voted out. Nancy Pelosi gets no, no sympathy from me. And I love for two reasons this new Democrat Tea Party they're talking about. First,

I believe it'll be ultimately detrimental as their their views are in the minority. And this will help moderate many of the Democrat politicians after this midterm. I think we're going to win because of it. Largely, I am not going to hide my intentions. This is not a joke where I'm falsely endorsing this candidate or something like that because I'm secretly trying to sabotage her.

I will say this to Kat sincerely. You seem very nice. I think that your political ideology is in a strong minority in this country as AOC represents only about 10 percent, though the largest, the plurality, according to NBC News poll. Kamala Harris is actually deeply favored at 38 in another poll.

Now, Kamala Harris is kind of nuts, in my opinion, and I just absolutely despise the establishment and I want them routed, gutted, removed from federal office. However, we can do that. I believe that individuals like Kat are substantially less bad than people like Jan Joukowsky and these other establishment.

Like, look, these people in Congress have been there forever. They are cronies. They are shills. They are manipulators. I cheered when AOC beat. What was it? Crowley in 2018. I will cheer when she primaries Jan Schakowsky. Now, don't get me wrong.

I fully expect that eventually, should she win in Congress, I will be making many videos about how I completely disagree with her views. But I do believe this will be a strong moderating force of the Democrats in the long run, which is what we need. Because right now, the two options we have in politics in the United States is shill corporate garbage and far left garbage. I try to be nice.

But I take a look at this viral video and this announcement from this cat, a bugazela. And she's saying that she's going to primary Jan Joukowsky. I look at her issues and I'm like, I think they're very bad. But again, you know, Bill Maher recently mentioned that the Democrat, I think it was Bill Maher, you got to stop. The Democrats got to stop the bleed. They've got to stop the bleeding.

And the problem is there. The people are fleeing blue districts. It's reducing their strength. Democrats are going to lose seats in Congress, as reclined, talked about it. They're saying that because the Democrats will not take heavy action against the Trump administration, there is going to be a new Tea Party movement among progressive leftists. This is exactly what we have been hoping for.

So I'm seeing people rag on Kat, moderates, post-liberals, disaffected liberals, conservative, centrist, woke, whatever. Not woke. Sorry, I don't know why I said that. And I'm just like, guys, stop ragging on her. We want her to win. She's got anti-endorsements, she claims. But I'm like, not from me, lady. I hope you sincerely defeat Jan Schakowsky in Evanston. Look at Illinois' 9th district, by the way. Is that the stupidest thing you've ever seen? What is that?

What is that even? Skokie, I'd love, love to see. I'd love to see Jan Schakowsky lose 100 percent. And from a young progressive, let's go. The corporate neoliberal interests, the warmongering garbage deserves to be voted out. And I will take whoever I can get to defeat them. That being said.

A lot of people are going to be like, but Tim, her views, she's nuts. Here's her top issues. When you go to her page, anti-authoritarianism is the top one. Okay. Well, I like that. Let's take a look. Let's take a look at the moral split in how these things operate. Anti-authoritarianism, we all like that. Basic existence, I mean, sure. Climate change, come on.

You guys going to burn some more electric vehicles, democratic reform, education, kids and families, gun violence, health care, humane foreign policy, LGBTQ protections. OK, we get it. This is very, you know, it's very generic. Let me go back here. And here's Kat for Congress. I'm going to say this in all sincerity. And I'm not trying to be mean here that look, man, you know, I'm trying to I'm not trying to be mean when I say this, but.

The last name's tough. And it really is because you're going to need people to be able to spell and search for your name. And again, I mean this with all due respect, Abu Gazela. I got no problem with your background, wherever that name comes from, but Abu

They say that the average person in the country has a third grade reading level. And so this is standard consultant issues. I suppose the problem is your name's your name. What can you do? Right. Let's take a look at her campaign and I'll show you some of her issues. She says Democratic leaders are abandoning us. Our district deserves a fighter in Congress, someone who shows her constituents every day that she is doing everything possible to stop the authoritarian takeover of the United States.

Say more. I fought fascists before as a citizen union rep, an independent journalist. Now I'm going to do the same in Congress. The first thing I will say in all sincerity, I love the youthful energy. Hundred percent. We need more young people to be active. Twenty six. You are, of course, eligible for Congress. This is an adult human being who should be in the workforce and should be running.

Though I think there's a happy medium between like 35 and 45 because you've got a little bit more life experience. 25 is absolutely acceptable as a constitution dictates. And I'm glad to see young people actually running, especially against neoliberal garbage. Now, that being said, she says she's bringing a new type of campaign. No wasteful TV ads, no useless consultants, no spammy fundraising emails, no capitulating to fascists. I don't know what that last one means, but sure.

Latest campaign developments. Of course, she's getting some press. Bravo, young lady with the Axios article and Rolling Stone, which, of course, I brought to launch this this this this segment here. So let's take a look at what we have here. Anti-authoritarianism, climate change, education, basic assistance, reforms, kids and families. And she's got some anti endorsements. Heaven's me. OK. OK.

I've made some enemies in my day just by advocating for free speech and democracy, but I wear these feuds like a badge of honor. Here are just a few of the right wing trolls who have made it clear they really don't like me. Elon Musk. She says Elon Musk deposed me last October because of my work with a nonprofit media watchdog Media Matters. Oh, she's Media Matters.

I spent six hours rebutting his lawyers BS right wing talking points as they leveled disinformation and anti-Palestinian racism directly to my face. And that's after his erroneous lawsuits caused me and 11 other co-workers to lose our jobs and health care. Talk about thin skin. I hope she wins, man. Can I hope you win? I hope you win. Hiya, right chick.

Has weaponized her Libs of TickTick account to vilify LGBTQ plus people just for existing. So much so that she inspired bomb threats at schools, libraries, and children's hospitals. She's also attacked me personally, seeking her followers on me and my colleagues on a regular basis. I'm not sure the exact number, though the free speech warriors have me blocked for years. Do I have this lady blocked on X? I probably do. I don't know how to spell her name. Oh, actually, I don't think I've ever blocked on X. I don't think I've ever actually interacted. Wait, what? That was weird. I tried typing it in.

There we go. And instead, it just redirected me. I probably, no, I don't have this person blocked. They don't follow me. She got 200,000 followers, running for Congress, formerly Media Matters. You know, like, I'll say this. Media Matters is, it's fake news. They lie. That's what they do.

Tucker Carlson getting fired by Fox News is tough to do, but Tucker Carlson achieved that near impossible. Achieved the near impossible before he was booted from the network. It was my job to report on what he was saying. From election denial to raw milk support to the white supremacist great replacement theory, I think he did a pretty good job considering this was how he talked about my employer off air when I was the one responsible for monitoring him. I want her to win. Evanston, I want her to win. I don't know if I would donate to her, but I really do want her to win. I'm

I'm going to say it again. First and foremost, I mean, this is all sincerity. I absolutely despise the career Democrats and the career Republicans, all of them. I would love it if just every incumbent was gone, save like, you know who can stay on the Democrat side? Ro Khanna, you're a cool guy. I completely disagree with your worldview. Not completely, but we disagree on a lot of things. But Ro Khanna,

So Ro Khanna is a good dude. He's a good dude. I mean it when I say it. I just disagree with him. And I respect that tremendously. I really like the guy. He came out and condemned the violence against Tesla. He said this is an American company and these people have nothing to do with this. And I respect that he's willing to take those stances, even when they're like, aren't the Democrats going to be mad at you? We had him on the show. He came on the show and I really do respect it.

He's a good guy. We need that kind of principled disagreement, even if our disagreements are serious. He's I have tremendous respect for him. I really do. You know, and then who else do we got on the Republican side? Of course, Thomas Massey. You know, there's a handful. It's a handful. But I'll just give if I only shout out one Democrat, only shout out one Republican. How about that? There are other Republicans I like. But Thomas Massey takes a kick.

Let's take a look at the anti-authoritarianism claim. Donald Trump, tech billionaires and the Republican Party have banded together to rapidly and illegally break this country. Sure. Their vision is fascist. OK. One of a militarized country. Only certain people, a few dozen rich men have a seat at the table. We can't. We will not and cannot let them win. I'm sure whatever. I mean, this is like completely meaningless because fascism.

Look, I don't know what you're saying. Historical anti-fascist movements all prove the same thing. The only way to properly fight fascism is loudly, proudly and every single day. That literally means nothing. And the principle must be upheld by those in public office. OK, sure, whatever. I refuse to stand by as Trump and Elon Musk attack my constituents. As your congressman, I will take my experience fighting the far right to Capitol Hill and beyond. Please win. Please win. Look, I mean this with all due respect. Kat, if your message is going to be culture war issues, I don't think you are going to win.

Maybe in 10 years, depending on how things go in this country, there may be a shift where the principal issues that Americans care about will be culture war issues. But I tell you right now, Trump won on immigration and economics.

You know, abortion was there and gender ideology was there. But culture war stuff doesn't really give you the forefront right now. So if you are running in Illinois, you can muster up the youth vote with the messaging that you have. But I'm just saying right now, that's a very strong message. First and foremost, on your page, I know it looks like you went by a

By alphabetical order, I think you really need to focus on money. And I do see a basic existence and they say we deserve better. You should be able to comfortably afford housing, groceries and health care. I get it's alphabetical. This should be your principal message and it is a strong one. I know you don't have the consultants or whatever, but you know.

Climate change. OK, let's see. We are going to change the climate crisis and existential threat. And the Trump admin subservience to big oil will only accelerate the planet's warming. We need urgent action, which is why endorse the Green New Deal. Hey, you know what? In 2018, I endorsed the Green New Deal, too, but that was before they actually released it. When the Green New Deal was proposed as a major government works project that would that would repair our cripple, our crippling, destroyed infrastructure.

I said, sounds good to me. And we're going to be installing solar and wind. And I know that they're not the best for energy return on energy invested. But I like the idea of allocating tax dollars towards repairing American infrastructure.

Then they released their actual resolution for the Green New Deal, and it was largely about minority advantages or preferences in universities and jobs. And I said, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What does DEI hiring have to do with a Green New Deal? And the argument I got was, well, you know, we can't have –

Well, we can't have jobs only hiring white people and blah, blah, blah. Yeah, but this doesn't I don't understand. We're going to contract this work out. The government will provide a bit. We'll take bids from from companies and it's up to them to figure out who they're hiring. We say we need a bridge fixed. Our bridges are falling apart and we can put solar panels on the tops that power the lights. Things like that. Yeah, it's a bummer. What else? We have gun violence. Oh, she's anti-gun.

Our children and communities deserve to exist without fear of gun violence. As a member of the school shooting generation, I know too well the anxieties caused by active shooter drills. That's why we must implement a federal assault weapons ban modeled after Illinois' assault weapons ban, enact comprehensive universal background checks, require waiting periods, institute mandatory gun safety training, close gun show and ghost gun loopholes, and prioritize victims of gun violence above all else. We must reject dangerous right-wing solutions to this problem, like arming teachers or building prison-like school systems in the name of security. I got one for you!

Don't worry. I'm against arming teachers. I'm in favor of firing them and building prison like school systems. Don't worry. I oppose that, too. I'm in favor of tearing them down. Let's go. Must address the root of the problem, which is guns themselves. My friend, Kat.

I assume you will see this video and I hope you take into consideration the things I say, not from a knee jerk reaction standpoint of how dare you say these things, you're bad and right wing, but from actually consider what I'm going to say. And maybe it'll help you out with your campaign.

The issue of guns is that they can be 3D printed. So we are well past the issue of how do we stop guns themselves? Guns can be 3D printed. This is serious. And not only that, but people can 3D print a whole bunch of other like many other kinds of weapons, notably like bolt guns. I mean, this is crazy stuff. You don't even need propellants. You literally just pull back a bolt and fire and you can

hit somebody with small bolts. I mean, they're like little pointed pieces of metal, kind of like a bullet, I guess, whatever. The other issue, of course, is directed energy weapons and the expansion of weapons technology themselves. While I do think guns are a force multiplier, and that's fair to say, yo, you're right next to Indiana.

OK, and this is the challenge that Illinois is long faced. So by all means, espouse the message you think is going to rally enough people in your district. Just consider this because someone's going to ask you about Indiana. They're going to say the problem we have with Chicago gun violence is that you go to Indiana, which is a red state, and people can buy guns. What happens is a resident of Indiana will buy a gun very easily and illegally transfer it and sell it to gang members who drive 15 minutes to get over that border and bring them back to Chicago. It's literally right there.

Consider that the question will be asked for you. I don't have the answers. By all means, advocate for what you want to advocate for. But hopefully that you find some help in that. Let's jump to immigration before I round out, you know, this segment in general. The U.S. has always been a country of immigrants. I'm a daughter of one. I vehemently oppose Donald Trump's insistence on vilifying immigrants and criminalizing their very existence. No mass deportations, no internment camps. Let's let's let's try this. I agree. Internment camps are bad. None of that.

Uh, no backtracking on the best part of the American experiment. I don't know what that means. Um, I don't agree with citizenship for dreamers. So we disagree on that one. Uh, I am in favor of mass deportations because you can't have 10 million people come into a country. And I'll warn you of this one and I hope you, I sincerely, I hope you hear this. Maybe it'll help you win. I want Jan Schakowsky to lose. I want her to, I want her to go away. Uh, you'd be better. Um, though I think ultimately I'm going to be honest with you.

Should you win, Kat, I believe that your presence in Congress will be a detriment to the Democratic Party and will empower the moderate to the right. So post-liberals, people like me, and then more conservative individuals will celebrate the fringe ideologies that enter that don't represent the majority of Americans. You may think I'm wrong. Doesn't matter. We both want you to win. I want you to win.

What I'll say is be careful, because in Chicago, the black community, which is a massive voting bloc, took issue with the importing of illegal immigrants into the city and the attempted construction of these migrants camps. So notably on the south side of Chicago, they had proposed building this large migrant camp and it got canceled because of community revolt. There were black there were elderly black women saying, quote, we are being replaced.

Google it, look it up, read the news about it. You live in Chicago, you'll understand. So this is going to come up. People are going to ask you about this. And if you're taking this strong of a position, it's putting you in a weaker spot. So moderate a little bit. I'm not saying defy your own worldview or whatever, but I think this one's going to be bad for you. LGBTQ protections. Let's go. What do you got? Protect the trans community. The right is coming after trans people for a reason, because they are usually the easiest targets for a fledgling fascist regime to throw under the bus.

I can't stress this enough. This happened before in early Nazi Germany. That's why we must take extra steps to stay in solidarity with the trans community and help them when times get tough. You're not going to hear me fall for right-wing propaganda about trans kids and bemoan how woke pronouns or whatever BS they're pushing this week. That's because trans people are people.

But also because I talk to trans individuals in the community almost every single day. As your congresswoman, I will always value the lived experience of constituents of whatever hate campaign Fox News is presently spewing. Oh, and we're obviously going to reverse all of Trump's horrendous transphobic executive orders. I actually don't know what you mean by any of that, to be completely honest. Seriously, I have no idea what you're talking about. If you're saying that people like Billboard Chris who say, quote, children can't consent to puberty blockers, you know, maybe there's something there. But honestly, I have no idea. It's just...

To be honest, maybe this will play well among the people in Chicago. I don't know. You know, look, I'm from Chicago, and my neighborhood turned red. And that's crazy. I mean, take a look at the map. It's shifted rightward. Man, you know, here's why I'm kind of bummed. I think you're going to lose. Kat, I think you are going to lose this one. Because if you take a look at the—I don't know if I can pull it up, but—

Chicago political map. We covered this when let me do this shift rightward. We covered this during the election when we were. What is this? Suburban blue shift 2024. That's sad. Where is it at? There we go. New York Times. Let me pull this up for you, Kat. Please, please hear me. I want you to beat Jan Schakowsky. I don't like her.

I don't like any of the established Nancy Pelosi. There was a progressive who ran against Pelosi. What was her name? Agatha Bacelar. So I gave her I think I donated the max to her because I was like, please, please defeat Nancy Pelosi. I would rather a young, idealistic, ignorant progressive than a corporate machine, 200 million dollar garbage person who is just running this country into the ground for personal benefit. At least the ideologues can like they're going to lose anyway.

Here you go from the New York Times. Hey, take a look at Chicago, man. Can I find your county? Can we zoom in here? How do we zoom in on this little map? Do I just have to like straight up zoom in? Is that even working? I don't think it's working. It's not working at all. The map doesn't change size.

What is this? From 2016 to 2020, Chicago actually went a little to the left. You can see in East Chicago, it shifted, whoa, from 12 to 2016, major right-wing shift, but still a lot of blue. But take a look right here. 20 to 20 to 24, almost every single county went to the right. DuPage County, 4.7 to the right. What do we have? Cook County, 8.3. And I think you'd be in Kane, right? Is Illinois' ninth? That's Kane County?

It's it's Cook and Lake County. OK, so I mean, look, Cook shifted eight point three and then Lake three point three. So I'm just saying I'm just saying if the Democrats are going to launch this like Tea Party movement thing and they're going to go up against the establishment Republicans. I'm sorry, the establishment Democrats. Listen, you're going to have to moderate this.

And I want to see these shills lose. I do. These are crony corporatists. I don't like how they run this. Okay, you got McHenry in there as well. And do we have, did I just, there we go. Where's McHenry? There's Kane, there's DuPage. McHenry, 2.8 to the right. It's a rightward shift. You can't run this hardcore progressive campaign and think you're going to win in a jurisdiction, in counties, in a district that moved rightward.

That's why I'm like, I don't think she's going to win. These people are going to vote for Jan Schakowsky, even though she and so many others are just establishment revolving door politicians. It is what it is. Anyway, the long story short of this, my friends, we need young people to get involved. They're starting to. I respect that.

I want her to win because it will weaken the establishment Democrats. Fantastic. These are the people who empower and uphold the bureaucratic state. And the progressives ideas are really, really bad, as I already showed you on that map. I don't know why people would be voting would be rooting against her. Any progressive that wants the primary Democrat, you have my full support. So I hereby endorse Kat, Abu Ghazala, Abu Ghazala, my president, Ghazala.

You have my endorsement wholeheartedly. I'll avoid donating because you'd probably get offended if I did return the money or whatever. But maybe I'll do it because I want the the establishment Democrats to lose. I want them to lose. I want all of them to lose and to be voted out. I don't care who by. And I think ultimately, as I already stated, your ideas will lose to mainstream America and strengthen our coalition on the moderate center to right. I'll leave it there. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone. You know, stay tuned. We got more segments coming up and we'll see you all in a little bit.

It's a crime hoax, another story, and it's very entertaining. And I can't believe the police went as far as they did to get DNA evidence from all the people involved in this so that they could accuse this woman of putting a fake news on her desk. Here's the quick version. She found a noose on her desk, this lady, and the cops came in and said, oh, yeah, a noose on your desk. How about we get DNA from everybody involved? And they found on the news was only her DNA, apparently.

And so they're accusing her now of planting the news on her own desk and filing a false police report because, ladies and gentlemen, there is no far right white supremacy prevalent in this country. Most people just want to be left alone. And these people are evil scumbags. Now, let me just stress, I don't think all liberal leftists are doing these things, but they're more than happy to latch onto any and everything to espouse their cult like ideology.

From the post-millennial, Allentown PA school employee charged for planting noose on her own desk and reporting it to the police. Initially cooperative, Ms. Brown later requested the investigation be discontinued.

A Pennsylvania school employee has been charged after allegedly planting a noose on her own desk and then reporting it to law enforcement. Allentown police announced on Monday that Latarsha Brown, a member of the Allentown School District Board of Directors, has been charged with tampering with or fabricating physical evidence and false reports to law enforcement, both misdemeanors.

Allentown Police Criminal Investigation Division Lieutenant Stephen Milkovitz said during a press conference that on January 10th, 25, around 7, 11 a.m., Brown arrived at her city hall office at around 7, 38 a.m. Brown notified local police that she had discovered what she believed to be a noose on her desk when she came in that morning. Well,

Authorities launched an investigation to find the person responsible, during which video surveillance and building access control records were reviewed to identify who was on the third floor where Brown worked between the time Brown left her office the night prior to when she came in. Employees were identified and interviewed and all agreed to provide DNA samples except for Mrs. Brown. Initially cooperative, she later requested the investigation be discontinued. Oh, come on, Jussie Smollett 2.0.

On January 14th, the noose was submitted to the PA State Crime Lab for DNA testing. Ten days later, a search warrant was approved by the Lehigh County District Attorney's Office for Brown's DNA, a sample of which was obtained the same day. Brown's DNA was submitted to compare against DNA recovered from the noose. On March 10th, Forensic DNA Division issued a report indicating that Brown's DNA matched the DNA profile obtained from the swabs of both the outer surface and inner knotted portion of the noose after it was taken apart.

said Milkovich, who added that no other DNA gathered matched. In response, charges were filed against Brown. Holy smokes. So inside, as they unraveled the news, there was DNA. It was hers, meaning she tied it. In January, the Allentown School District celebrated Brown in a post on Instagram, calling her deeply committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. In 2024, Brown was named a social justice ambassador for the Pennsylvania Human Rights Commission.

My friends, I give you... The purpose of this press conference is to provide an update regarding the noose investigation. Okay, come on, come on. I want to take a moment to thank the following agencies who assisted in this case. Lehigh County District Attorney's Office, the Pennsylvania State Police Crime Lab, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Outtown Police Department conducted a thorough investigation, including interviews of persons, analysis of evidence, and consultation with the District Attorney's Office of Lehigh County.

As a result of the subsequent investigation, Latarsha Brown was charged with tampering with or fabricating physical evidence, a misdemeanor of the second degree, and false reports to law enforcement, a misdemeanor of the third degree. As in every criminal case, the fact that a warrant has been issued or a complaint has been filed is merely an accusation. The defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty in a court of law.

I'm now going to ask Captain Milkovitz to provide a summation of this investigation. Good afternoon, everybody. Captain Milkovitz, Criminal Investigations Division. On January 10, 2025, at approximately 7.11 a.m., Allentown City employee Latarsha Brown arrived at our office on the third floor of City Hall.

At approximately 7:38 a.m., Ms. Brown notified the Allentown Police Department that she discovered what she believed to be a noose on her desk upon arriving at work. Officers assigned to the Community Outreach Unit, Crime Scene Identification Unit, and Criminal Investigations Unit responded, initiating a criminal investigation to identify the individual responsible for placing the noose on Ms. Brown's desk.

During the investigation, video surveillance and building access control records were reviewed to identify city employees present on the third floor of City Hall between the time Ms. Brown left for work on the afternoon of January 9, 2025. All right, we got it. We got it. Let's jump to the end.

Hey, Cupcake. It's us, Hostess, the ones who bring joy in the form of creamy, dreamy deliciousness. And we're talking to you, you ding-dongs. But don't add stress one bit or bite. You were just too busy craving a sweet snack that raises all the gas bars. And we Twinkies swear we have Melta more than one for you.

with flavor that really snowballs. All you have to do is get through our singers. You wanty snacky? We speaky snacky. Hostess, we speaky snacky. On March 10, 2025, the Forensic DNA Division of the Pennsylvania State Police issued a written report indicating that Ms. Brown's DNA matched the DNA profile obtained from the swabs of both the outer surface and inner knotted portion of the noose after it was taken apart.

No other person's DNA profiles found on the evidentiary items involved in this investigation. As a result of this investigation earlier today, Detective Harold Bonds of the Allentown Police Department filed charges against Latarsha Brown at District Court 312-01

for the criminal offenses outlined earlier by Chief Rocha. All right, so it's basically what we already knew. But they do have this media release, which I think largely is going to contain a lot of the information. But the results are, or resulting in the investigation, tampering with or fabricating physical evidence, a misdemeanor, and false reports to law enforcement. My friends, let us just discuss what has been apparent to all of us for some time. There is no weird far-right conspiracy

It is often the left fabricating this. Who's violent? Left or right? The left. Who's staging? Who's actually engaged in hate crimes? The left. This is the fascinating thing that when it comes to this debate, you know, I had a debate with this liberal guy and he says the right commits more acts of terror. And I said, by whose metric? And he starts citing these organizations. And I'm like, how is it that a sovereign citizen? These are people who believe that they are free from government controls, our right wing.

White supremacists are right wing. So you've got authoritarian nationalists who want racial identitarianism for white people. And that is right. And the guy who completely opposes all government in every capacity is also right. And so when you get fringe ideologies, they say, that's right. Look.

When like a Muslim does something, we don't call that right or left, but that's how the left plays it. If there is a Christian guy, they say he's far right. The left, on the other hand, actually does engage in widespread violence and hoaxes and hate crimes. The example, of course, is famously in Trump's first term, there was an ongoing list that tracked about a thousand attacks against Trump supporters. And then they stopped. And I'm like, why did you stop tracking that? That was a pretty good list.

Now, of course, with the attacks against Tesla owners, even innocent people who bought an electric car a couple of years ago and aren't political are getting their cars vandalized. It's insane. These people, even after what Jussie Smollett did, are still fabricating these hoaxes. At what point do regular Americans say we get it? It's fake. That's it, my friends. It is fake. It is fake indeed. And they keep doing it because people believe it no matter what. There's this viral video I saw.

Where this guy was wearing a hat with an American flag on it and he was asking people questions. And this woman said, you're far right and you're here to go. And he's like, what? He's like, no, I'm just genuinely curious. No, you're a right winger. You're wearing an American flag. And he's like, it's just a beanie that I bought from REI. And she's screaming in his face. How do we as a nation deal with these people who vote?

Honest question. They vote. They lie. They cheat. Now, to be fair, to be fair, I want to stress this innocent until proven guilty. We don't know exactly what happened with this lady, and I don't want to condemn her just because they've accused her of doing it. I mean that sincerely. Justice Smollett was investigated, and I think he largely got away with trying to perpetrate this massive hoax. The conspiracy behind that was the intention of the hoax was helped to help Democrats pass some kind of advanced lynching bill. And it's like, what is what is their end game with all this stuff?

I suppose to make this country more like South Africa, racial identitarian policy pushed and then land appropriations and things like this. That's the direction we're going. What does it serve? The destruction of this country. That's it. These leftists largely hate the United States. And something I heard recently is that like many of these activists are

Their view is it doesn't matter if the rights are enshrined in the Constitution. The founding fathers were evil people. They were colonizers who stole land. So the Constitution is meaningless. I actually don't view it that way. I think more the founding fathers were products of their time and generation. Conquest and settlement were normal things. Some people win. Some people lose. Wars happen.

We socially evolved beyond this point, and now we try to uphold the rights of everybody. But that does not mean reversing time 200 years and seizing the homes of people who have no idea what you're talking about. That would just destabilize your country. But if this persists, that's what you get.

It's clear now ain't nobody tolerating this. So bravo to the police in Allentown, in PA, for not simply just saying, OK, we're going to call it what it is. Bravo for them seeing it for what it really was, investigating and now criminally charging this individual. But again, I'll stress, we'll see what happens in court. Maybe she didn't do it. Kind of think she did. We'll see. I'll wrap it up there, my friend. Smash that like button. Share the show with everyone you know. Stay tuned. We got more segments coming up and we'll see you all shortly.

In possibly one of the biggest stories of the past 10 years, 20 or longer, West Virginia made a massive move to ban seven artificial food dyes, citing health concerns. Now, this bill was passed in the House and the House and the Senate in West Virginia. I think that's how they structure it.

And it was overwhelming bipartisan support. There were concerns the banning of these dyes would get blocked or vetoed by the governor because large food industry companies were revolting. They're revolting. Sure. And they're also in revolt. You see how that works. Do I win a pun award for that one, Stephen Colbert?

Anyway, these companies have basically argued they need to use the petrochemical based food additives to color their food because it's brighter and more vibrant. And when they use things like blueberries or carrots to color their food, it doesn't sell as well. Children like the vibrant colors and so do the parents. So when they actually offered up options for healthier choices, people chose the petrochemical garbage. Now, I have to wonder.

If people were given the choice and told the truth about what they were eating, would they actually eat it? To be honest, I think most people still eat the garbage. So long. Guys, I got to tell you, we're screwed. I'm not a libertarian. A lot of you know, I lean libertarian a lot of issues, but there's a lot of people who are like Tim. People should eat whatever they want. And I'm like, bro, there are commercials for drugs. One, because you're too fat and you want to be thinner.

The secret to health and happiness is just exercise work. That's normal. It's a good thing. I don't know why people hate it so much, but to be fair, it's evolution. I psychology, the wasteful expenditure of energy was detrimental to the survival of humanity. So we tend towards laziness because we want to preserve energy when we don't need to use energy. We try not to that way. We live longer by preserving energy, but ultimately it's become a detriment to us now. Okay. Anyway, I digress. Most people don't want to do the right thing.

So you've got people who are overweight. And instead of saying, maybe I should go for a walk once a day, which really will shed a lot of weight from you. Seriously, walking is key. Walking. I'm not kidding. Or saying, maybe I'm going to diet to better fit my life. They say, inject me, baby. Yeah, look, I'm sorry. I know there's a lot of people out there probably taking that stuff. And I'm not, I don't, I don't care if you're offended. Yeah.

You know, I'm not trying to be a dick completely, but I just that's offensive to me. Then my favorite commercials ever where it's a guy and he sees his delicious slice of pizza and he grabs it and he folds it. You're like, take a big bite. And then he goes, oh, my stomach hurts. And it's like, don't stop eating the foods you love. And then he pulls out a pill and he eats the pill. And he's like, now I feel better. And I'm like, dude, if your stomach hurts from the food you're eating, stop eating it. It's not food.

This is the country we live in. People are eating garbage, getting sick and dying. And even when they know it causes them physical pain, you'd think, you know, RFK Jr. says this stuff is causing chronic disease. I got news for you, RFK Jr. It tastes good. Even if it caused an overt bowel obstruction where the people were in excruciating pain for days, they'd still eat it.

People eat Dairy Queen. Come on. We know what that stuff does to your innards as well as the McFlurries. But people don't care. That's what's crazy. So I don't like to be the guy who says maybe we should ban all foods or whatever, like what's Bloomberg. But at least we can label the foods and say certain things aren't food. You can't eat it. Or at the very least, you can't sell it to people to be eaten.

So the big news, of course, that this law bans a bunch of dyes. So it's where's their stupid list? Come on, New York Times. You got BHA, butylated hydroxyanisole, and you've got propylparaben preservatives. And then you've got blues one and two, greens three, yellow number five, six, red 40 and red three. To be fair, red three was already banned. They don't use red five anymore either. But here's where it gets crazy.

This is just one big story, an amazing move made by West Virginia, but it's not the sole reason why you clicked this, isn't it? No, it's because of this video right here. Take a look at this clip. This blew my mind. A toxic paint cleaner ingredient found in cinnamon toast crunch. Come with me to Home Depot and check this out. Here we are at Home Depot at the paint thinner and paint cleaner section. And you can see there is TSP.

but it's TSP substitute. It's TSP phosphate free. I talked to them. They stopped carrying regular TSP trisodium phosphate because it's toxic to people that are using it. So what I did is I actually ordered it. It's online at Home Depot. So why did they pull it? It says right here, harmful if swallowed or inhaled. This is the same TSP that they're

putting in your cereal. It's harmful if it's swallowed. Why? Because it's a trisodium phosphate salt and when you eat it, it breaks up in your digestive system to sodium ions and phosphate. And phosphate is toxic to your body, leading to neurological and behavioral effects, kidney damage, and cardiovascular issues. It can even interfere with calcium absorption, leading to weaker bones and osteoporosis long term. So for the love of God, if you see TSP on any food label, it

My guy, I got to stop you. Please stop saying TSP. It's trisodium phosphate. It doesn't say TSP in the box. People don't know what you're saying. Actually, your kid's cereal. Put it back on the shelf if you want to live a non-toxic lifestyle. All right. All right. All right. Hold on. I was flabbergasted. Flabbergasted, I say. Trisodium phosphate in our food? You always get a bag like this of trisodium phosphate.

Careful, caution, harmful if swallowed or inhaled. Eye and skin irritant may cause eye and skin burns. Yikes. Okay, hold on, hold on. Here's cinnamontoastcrunch.com. Ingredients, whole grain wheat, sugar, rice flour, canola and or sunflower oil, fructose, maltodextrin, dextrose, salt, cinnamon, trisodium phosphate.

Soy lecithin, caramel color, rosemary extract, BHT. Oh, we love, what is that? Butylated hydroxy, what is BHT? They got to ban that one too. Butylated hydroxy toluene, free radical medicated oxide. What is it? A lipophilic organic compound. What is all this stuff? Caramel color, blah, blah, blah, calcium carbonate. They got vitamins in it. That's all fine. Like when you see stuff like sodium ascorbate, it's like it's vitamin C, dude. Different forms of it.

Well, my friends, trisodium phosphate is an inorganic compound with a chemical formula NAPO, NA3PO4. It is a white granular crystalline solid, highly soluble in water, producing an alkaline solution. TSP is used as a cleaning agent, builder, lubricant, food additive, stain remover, and degreaser.

Okay. Why do they put it in our food? Cleaning. It was at one time extensively used in formulations for a variety of consumer-grade soaps and detergents. TSB is still sold and used as a cleaning agent. All right. I got to hold on there, my friends. Now, look, I'm not interested in eating this. So if I see it in my food, I'm not going to eat it. But I do want to stress...

Just because some things are toxic in a bag doesn't mean they're toxic in minor concentrations for specific purposes. Salt will kill you. Literal table salt will kill you. For real. You can get poisoned by it. Water can poison you. Seriously. Do you guys remember that story where it was a lady and they were doing a water drinking contest? And whoever drank the most water without going to the bathroom would win. I think it was a GameCube. This is back in the day. Remember GameCube? Yeah.

It was crazy because apparently a bunch of doctors and nurses kept calling in the radio station saying, stop, these people are going to die. You can't do this. And they were like, oh, chill out. It's just water. The lady who won went home, dropped dead. Water intoxication. It dilutes your electrolytes, causes your brain to stop working, and you die. Crazy, right? She drank like a gallon of water and then died. So a lot of things can kill you like this. But again, that being said, I don't want it in my food. It's generally recognized as safe as a food additive. Why? Why?

They're approved food additives in the EU, commonly used as acidity regulators, and have the collective E number E339. Why? Legit. Why? Exercise performance enhancement. Tristodium Phosphate is gained to following as a nutritional supplement that can improve certain parameters of exercise performance.

The base of this belief is the fact that phosphate is required for the energy producing Krebs cycle central to aerobic metabolism. Phosphates are available for a number of other sources that are much milder than TSP. In the Western world, phosphate usage has declined because of damage it causes to lakes and rivers through eutrophication. Indeed, a cleaning product. Look.

The one thing I want to say is I don't need to eat this, so I'm not going to. Shout out to that guy. Fine. Let's not eat it. Whatever. But I do want to stress lemon juice is a cleaner. Vinegar is a cleaner. And so just because the word seems strange doesn't mean it's inherently going to murder you. But that being said, I say this again.

I would much prefer if the ingredients were like whole grain wheat and sugar, maybe cinnamon. I don't know why I need any of this in my cereal, so I'm not going to buy it. Do we ban these things is the deep question. Look, I agree with RFK Jr. on the generally recognized as safe thing where they're like there's all these products that are generally recognized as safe, even though they've not done any tests on them. Got to go by. We don't need to eat it if it's not food.

So how about this? Why are they saying yellow five? Why are they allowed to say yellow number five? Make them write tartrazine parentheses coal tar derivative. Maybe then parents might be like, I don't want my children eating coal tar. Well, I got news for you. I got news for you, my friends. Like I already mentioned, people will eat pizza to where it burns and destroys their gut, makes them extremely sick, and they'll pop a pill so they can keep eating it. Hey, look, pizza's great.

But if it's causing you pain, maybe you should ask your doctor about something you shouldn't be eating. So I'm not sure that I believe people will choose to not eat. I mean, bro, Cinnamon Toast Crunch is awesome. Is it not the best cereal? Come on. It's the best. Everybody agrees. Well, I'll find an alternative version because I don't want any of that garbage in it. Interestingly, I want to mention that Mr. Kennedy said there was an urgent priority at a meeting. He encouraged me to call the governor Morrissey in support of the West Virginia law.

It's going to be epic. We're going to clean up the food here in West Virginia, my friends. This is awesome. Shout out to the governor. Governor Morsi is based. He's done a great job so far. I am. It is an honor and a privilege to have him as the governor. I am so deeply impressed with the signing of this and the ban of the artificial food dyes. A step in the right direction. Smash that like button. Follow me on X and Instagram. Stay tuned. We got more coming up for you. Don't miss it. We'll see you on the next segment.

In a story that I can't say is surprising, Jon Stewart's getting roasted for claiming Republicans don't care about free speech while failing to cite any actual examples where the right is actually against free speech. But oh boy, do I love this conversation.

Because I love the philosophical debate over principles and morals to such a great degree. My friends, let me just start by saying Jon Stewart has no idea what he's talking about. He says these guys don't give an F about free speech. He then goes on to claim that a man who's accused of committing immigration fraud is a free speech issue. When Mahmoud Khalil led violent protests, helped organize them, they took over buildings, threatened staff.

That's not free speech. OK, wait, I guess in their world it is because they mercilessly commit acts of terrorism against people who own Tesla vehicles and things of that nature. And that was on a mention that because the federal government says you can't use certain words in the government, that's not free speech either. The government itself does not have one a protections. But to be fair, he's talking about the principle of free speech.

We're not talking about individuals working in the government, the principle, not the amendment. There's two different things. The left really conflates those twos. Those two free speech does not mean you as an employee of the government are free to say whatever you want. It's a job. But OK.

Let's break this down. And then I'm going to show you as he entertains this argument over Mahmoud Khalil. As it turns out, the government is accusing Mahmoud of misrepresenting information to immigration. Notably, that this guy apparently had some kind of security clearance. I think I don't know how true that is, but that they said that he was he was an employee of some political groups like UNRWA. And that being the case, he didn't disclose this. And that's fraudulent.

Interesting. But I'll get into that. For the time being, let's take a look at old Jon Stewart had to say. Mediaite says, these guys don't give an F about free speech. Okay, Jon, let's play the game. The Daily Show host Jon Stewart torn to President Donald Trump and the Republican Party for flip-flopping on Free Speech Monday, complaining that the hypocrisy had become so blatant.

As we know, conservatives have been very concerned of the loss of free speech in our country for a very long time, Stewart said on his show. But luckily, our national free speech nightmare recently came to an end when we entered the golden age of Donald Trump. Stewart played clips of Trump boasting, we have saved free speech in America and free speech in America. It's back before marking. Thank God we have a president now who believes in free. Just go ahead.

The Daily Show host then played a series of other clips that showed Trump branding CNN and MSNBC illegal and calling for ABC and CBS to lose their licenses. Oh, boy, I love this game. Let's address it one at a time. Jon Stewart.

CBS, ABC and others have been accused on numerous occasions of lying to the public with the use of their broadcast licenses. The broadcast licenses are regulated by the federal government. They can revoke them for fraudulent activities to a certain degree. That is.

When 60 Minutes selectively edited Kamala Harris's interview, the FCC actually was like, yeah, that's a violation of the agreement between the U.S. and the broadcasters for their public broadcasting licenses.

You then have with ABC. I mean, we can go back. How about this? When Shinzo Abe of Japan, rest in peace, poured the food of the koi fish pond and Trump followed suit, they they zoomed in, cropped out the president to try and make Trump look stupid. They have routinely published fake stories intentionally for the purpose of defaming a politician. That's not free speech. Unless you think it is, then I guess you're going to align with all of the Nazis and

who want their right to disparage minority groups wherever they go on the Internet, even if it is a private platform. Now, honestly, I think on social media platforms, you should be allowed to say what you want to say, so long as you're not directing people to commit crimes, providing them with information to do so in the means. But I know that Jon Stewart's never going to say that he agrees with that. Maybe he will. He says, this is so blatant, I can't wrap my head around it. It's not even hypocrisy. It's that they so fetishize free speech, this thing that they do not in any way actually practice.

I love this argument. I'm not going to necessarily say he's wrong. You ready for this one? Let's read more and we'll get into it. He then aired a montage of Trump's attacks on free speech, including the arrest of Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil for leading a protest against Israel at Columbia University, a protest which resulted in the physical takeover of several buildings, the barricading of those buildings, threats of violence against staff and the physical attacks on other students.

How is it in any way free speech? Ah, that's right. Jon Stewart must be of the mostly peaceful protest camp. He wasn't to mention a restriction for the use of hundreds of words in the federal government, including BIPOC, DEI, Latinx, Native American, black women and sex.

The federal government doesn't have one a protections. But if you're arguing simply the principle of free speech, you'd say individuals have a right to express themselves as they see fit in the production of government documents as a job. The restriction of use of certain words does not violate your free speech. That is a ridiculous argument. You are working at the pleasure of the president. He's giving you instructions. You are allowed to stand in a street corner and say literally whatever you want.

These guys don't give an F about free speech. They care about their speech. It's so blatant hypocrisy. You can't say words like women or sex or me too. How can a lot of your cabinet members describe their weekends? He concluded, you can't protest in a way that offends the right. You can't teach things the right doesn't want you to teach. You can't read things they don't want you to read. You can't use words they don't want you to use, but they love free speech.

I got to tell you, Jon Stewart is being intentionally obtuse. There's no way he doesn't know what's going on. This is what my problem with the left is. I have no problem entertaining the reality that no one wants free speech. It's a fact there. There we go. Right. But he's not giving you an honest breakdown. First, you want to bring up Mahmoud Khalil. Here you go. The government has claimed that Mahmoud Khalil intentionally misrepresented information on his green card application and is therefore inadmissible to the U.S.,

According to recent court filings, Trump's admin said Khalil failed to disclose when applying for his green card that his employment by the Syria office of the British embassy in Beirut went beyond 2022 and that he was a political affairs officer for the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees from June to November 2023.

Khalil is now charged with a charge as inadmissible at the time of his adjustments of status because he sought to procure an immigration benefit by fraud or willful misrepresentation of a material fact. Khalil was on a two year conditional green card, not a permanent residency. So the left is lying.

This guy being arrested is very, very outside the ideas of free speech. If you want to get into the arguments about immigration and green cards and all that, we can, but it's not a free speech issue. Jon Stewart knows he's misrepresenting this. The case and claims against CBS pertain to the manipulation of interviews for the benefit of a political party, not the speech they had. It is the manipulation they engaged in. And

As for the words of the federal government, I already addressed that. You're an employee. Your boss can tell you not to use certain words. If you have a problem with it, quit. You're allowed to go in the street corner and say whatever you want. But to be fair, nobody believes in free speech. Come on. Jon Stewart was of the cohort, though he did retire briefly, that banned people from expressing their opinions on social media. You could not use pronouns for a male if they told you not to do it.

You could not say that's a man, baby. They'd ban you for it. Famously, Zuby, the rapper, got suspended on Twitter before it was X for saying something like, OK, dude, he wasn't trying to disparage a trans person. He was just rolling his eyes saying, OK, dude, to their argument. And they called it misgendering. So let's hold on a minute.

You could attack the right saying they don't care about free speech. I'm going to go and say, John, you are misrepresenting all of the arguments, but I'm going to agree with you in principle. Nobody wants free speech. None. The left would. OK, first, for those that are watching, comment below and you tell me what free speech is, because I got to be honest, everybody's got a different definition. Most people, I think, in this country say it's the it's expressing your political views and values without fear of reprisal.

Some people's political views and values would be considered obscene by others. Then so then some would say porn is not free speech. Others would argue that it is absolute free speech means you can say anything. And if you're going to have free speech is either absolute or it's nothing. And therein lies the real challenge. What we are all actually arguing is a moral Overton window, and it's becoming divergent, splitting between the left and the right.

The right does not tolerate books with sexually graphic material in them. The left does. Jon Stewart says they don't want you to teach that stuff because, you know, they don't want you to teach what they don't want you to teach. Well, yeah, the right largely says don't give porn to kids. The left says, why not? The left has its free speech and kids have a right to know. We say it's immoral. We say it's damaging to the children. It can mess up their futures. It can cause psychological problems.

We actually put limit limitations on information that can be espoused. And we all agree that's a good thing. So free speech, what does it mean? The longest time in this country, obscenity was illegal. So when they passed the when they ratified the Bill of Rights, you could not go outside and start cussing and swearing. You'd get arrested. I'm not exaggerating. George Carlin got arrested for it. They meant free speech was I could write. The president is a bad man. Look, that's what they meant.

But within the confines of their unified moral traditions, some things were beyond the pale. There are certain things in this country you can't do without getting everybody mad at you. If you dressed up like a Nazi and marched around saluting Hitler and all that stuff, literally everybody will be mad at you.

You're not going to get arrested for it, though. That's the thing. And that's where free speech really does come in. But everybody's going to be mad. The distinction between today and yesterday is that we finally removed government intervention in people's speech, no longer arresting people for it. The far left, however, will beat you to a pulp. And once they get their morality police, they absolutely will arrest you for hate speech because they view it as incitement to violence. They are trying to return to a more morally zealous and, um,

Well, I say morally zealous, but I don't think they actually have morals other than adhere to the cult. But they would bring us back in time. So let me tell you about what free speech truly does represent in this country today. You will not be arrested for doing it. And that's it. Should teachers of government institutions be allowed to say whatever they want? No. Should they be able to teach whatever they want? No. That's not a free speech issue. That is a the government has a public mandate. People vote and determine whether or not should or should not be.

But can the teachers go outside and say what they want? Indeed, they can. I don't think Jon Stewart understands free speech at all. I think he's simply trying to do a right wing bad segment to get clicks. But there you go, buddy. Jon, maybe at some point you'll read a book and be a bit more honest. I'll wrap it up there.
