1 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: It's that time. Time, time, time, luck and load. The 2 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: Michael Very Show is on the air. 3 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 2: Are you all ready to see your fixer uppers? Yeah? 4 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 3: Okay, whoa. 5 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 4: Beautiful couldn't look any better in my opinion. 6 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 5: Hey guys, finally you look to see your house. 7 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 6: Okay, I'll look at these United States reminds us that 8 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 6: history is always being made with Morocco. We're off to 9 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 6: the People's House, the White House now under construction, a 10 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 6: project swirling in controversy. 11 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,599 Speaker 7: Well likely this is part of what Donald Trump has 12 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 7: been doing since day one of his presidency, running the 13 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 7: largest pay to play scheme in the history of the country, 14 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 7: and probably soliciting donations. 15 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 3: From people who've got. 16 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 7: Business before the United States government. And all of this 17 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 7: is going to have to be investigated. All of this 18 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 7: will have to be uncovered. It will, and these people 19 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 7: are going to be held accountable. 20 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 8: There is a real problem in this country and most 21 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 8: Americans recognize it. When Bill Maher, a long time sort 22 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 8: of pseudo intellectual comedian talker podcasts are very influential on 23 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 8: the left, or was influential left now he's more influential 24 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 8: in the middle. When he starts calling out the Democrats. 25 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 8: That was a good sign. But the fringe of the 26 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 8: Democrat Party, the far left, ideological wing, have captured the 27 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 8: party and driven out any moderate, any freethinking individual. And 28 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 8: so what they do in a moment like that is 29 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 8: they attack anyone who's trying to move the party back 30 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 8: to the center. There will be those who will argue, 31 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 8: but relative to today, the Bill Clinton administration was much 32 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 8: more of a centrist administration. When he lost the assault 33 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 8: weapons issue, when he lost Americans, when he lost his 34 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 8: core his base over that, when he lost in nineteen 35 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 8: ninety four, just as he had lost a decade before 36 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 8: in Arkansas over a license plate tax and I think 37 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 8: a phishing tax as well. 38 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 3: He learned from that. 39 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 8: He learned from it, and he went to What's the 40 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 8: old boy that taught him to triangulate Morris? Nick Morris, 41 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 8: and Morris taught him how to get back to the middle. 42 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 8: Because the middle is a wider swath of America than 43 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 8: people realize. We think it's all the far right and 44 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 8: the far left, but actually what's being called for right. 45 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,679 Speaker 3: Is actually middle America. 46 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 8: Middle America does not want boys in the girl's locker room, 47 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 8: and the fringe left doesn't understand that we've got that 48 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 8: going for us, but the fringe left has taken over 49 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 8: their party and they're not allowing any moderate influences in there, 50 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,559 Speaker 8: and they're scared. Kathy Huckel doesn't want to be campaigning 51 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 8: for zorn Mundanni. That's why she didn't do it first. 52 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 3: Hakem. 53 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 8: Jeffries doesn't want to have had to had endorsed him 54 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 8: as he did this past weekend, but he has to 55 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 8: or they'll run somebody against him. Chuck Schumer didn't want 56 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 8: to drag out the shutdown because he's losing support every day, 57 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 8: but he didn't want to be seen this week because 58 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 8: he doesn't want AOC to run against him in the Senate. 59 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 8: Schumer's not doing what's best for the country or even 60 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 8: what's best for the party. He's scared to death. He's 61 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 8: got AOC nipping at his heels. Nancy Pelosi's got an 62 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 8: opponent in her primary, a real opponent, a state senator. 63 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 8: When Bernie Sanders came after Hillary in twenty sixteen, in 64 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 8: that primary, he pushed her to the left. He got 65 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 8: forty three percent if I remember correctly, in Iowa. In Iowa, 66 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 8: Bernie Sanders proved that there was a far left, progressive 67 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 8: element of the Democrat Party that was growing in power 68 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 8: and influence, and it was being funded by a leftist influence, 69 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 8: and it was recruiting. 70 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 3: A coalition of very radical. 71 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 8: Elements, Muslims, illegals, transgenders, and they were taking over the 72 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 8: party up and down the line. 73 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 3: So the old already have kind of. 74 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 8: Retired labor folks, they were being pushed out and they 75 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 8: were aging out, they were phasing out, and so the 76 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 8: Democrat Party was changing overnight. And the completion of that happened. 77 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 8: They lost in two thousand, they lost in two thousand 78 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 8: and four. By two thousand and eight, it was a 79 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 8: very different Democrat Party than Bill Clinton had left it. 80 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 8: And that's the year Dashel sent his resources in for 81 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 8: the Obama machine. They brought in young folks, they brought 82 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 8: in technology, and that was the moment the Democrat Party 83 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 8: lurched to the left, from which it has never recovered 84 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 8: that Obama lurched to the left in eight and twelve 85 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:55,239 Speaker 8: and then sixteen. Hillary is not nearly as far left 86 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 8: as Barack Obamas. That's a fact. People don't want to 87 00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 8: hear that because they hate her. 88 00:05:59,320 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 3: And I got that. 89 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 8: She's very hateable. I don't like her. She's not a 90 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 8: good person. But Obama can be worse than her. That 91 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 8: those two things can be true. 92 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 9: She can be. 93 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 3: Terrible and not quite as terrible as Obama. 94 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 8: Oh you like Hillary? Now, no, no, there's a little nuance. 95 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 8: Calm down, and no, I'm gonna hear it. But it's true. Well, 96 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 8: when she didn't win in sixteen, then you had some 97 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 8: elements coming out, like Elizabeth Warren. Elizabeth Warren comes out, 98 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 8: and so she's going to get the angry leftist. You know, 99 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 8: she's American Indiana, these radical progressive nutjobs. And by the way, 100 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 8: we're seeing Elizabeth warrens on school boards across the country, 101 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 8: on mud districts, on city councils, this sort of hysterical 102 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 8: white liberal woman who doesn't know what she stands for. 103 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 8: It changes every day, but she knows that she wants 104 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 8: to hug something that the rest of us think is weird. 105 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 8: So it might be boys in women's sports, it might 106 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 8: be boys in the girls locker room. Her mind is 107 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 8: absolutely open, wide open to anything. 108 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 3: Just tell her what to say. 109 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 8: Marxism, socialism, communism, transgenderism, chemical castration, tax, the rich doesn't matter. 110 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 8: She's the Mary Ann Williams, and she's she's the she's 111 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 8: very very sorry that white people are so racist, and 112 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 8: she's willing to kill all the white people. She has to, 113 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 8: not because she hates them, but it's the right thing 114 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 8: to do because she's read a book and she went 115 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 8: to a conference and she has now come to realize 116 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 8: her own privilege. 117 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 3: And so if we have to kill all the white people, 118 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 3: that's just what we have to do. 119 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 8: And and that's you need to know black people that 120 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 8: you can vote for her, because she's willing to do that, 121 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 8: and she's one of the good white people. And that 122 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 8: that type of candidate came out. You had Pete Buttergig, 123 00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 8: you had Amy klobschar, you had Kamala Harris. And so 124 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 8: the Democrat Party, the big boys came in and said, look, 125 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 8: we're going to lose to Trump. We can control Biden. 126 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 8: He's barely alive. We can control him. And so they 127 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,679 Speaker 8: pushed him across the finish line. 128 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 3: But that was the end of that. Then twenty twenty four, 129 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 3: of course she got Kamala Harris. 130 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 8: Kamala Harris was a fringe candidate, but she never actually 131 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 8: excited the nuts from wit very. 132 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 3: How crazy is Zorai Mundani. Let me give an example. 133 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 8: He has a plan to make New York's buses safer. 134 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 8: He says, you know how, take away the fair box. 135 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 8: Nobody will pay to get on the buses. He'll just 136 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 8: be free. Now why do that, Well, because one of 137 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 8: the problems now is it people who don't want to pay. 138 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 8: They're jumping on the bus and causing problems. So we'll 139 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 8: just let him have it for free. This well, let 140 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 8: me play the audio. This is four h nine. 141 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 3: You have a farebox on a bus. 142 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 2: It increases a sight of tension, of conflict, of assaults 143 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 2: when you reduce when you remove that farebox. Rather, what 144 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 2: you find is a safer experience, not just for the 145 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 2: riders but also for the operators. 146 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 8: See, if people don't have to pay for things, then 147 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 8: you won't have conflict. This is the same mindset in 148 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 8: San Francisco where they said, as long as you steal 149 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 8: less than a thousand dollars, we won't stop you and 150 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 8: we won't prosecute you. Guess what happened. They drove retail 151 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 8: out of San Francisco. Well, if we don't arrest you, 152 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 8: then we don't have conflict. You see, that's what this 153 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 8: is about. This is who this guy is. Now here's 154 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 8: the worst part. We can blast this to every person 155 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 8: in New York, not our listeners, but the other folks 156 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 8: who are voting for him, and they can hear this 157 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 8: and they go, well, that's kind of true. I don't 158 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 8: want to pay for it. There's a great life that's 159 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 8: always stuck with me. By Andrew Fraser Tyler, and he 160 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 8: said a democracy self governance cannot exist as a permanent 161 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 8: form of government. It can only exist until the voters 162 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 8: discover that they can vote themselves largesse. 163 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 3: From the public treasury. From that moment on. 164 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 8: The majority always votes for the candidates promising the most 165 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 8: benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a 166 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 8: democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by 167 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 8: a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations 168 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 8: has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through 169 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 8: this sequence, from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith 170 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 8: to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, 171 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:11,239 Speaker 8: from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to apathy, from apathy 172 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 8: to dependence, from dependence back into bondage. I will read 173 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 8: that opening line again. A democracy cannot exist as a 174 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 8: permanent form of government. It can only exist until the 175 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 8: voters discover that they can vote themselves larges from the 176 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 8: public treasury. Now, I know what you're thinking, Well, Michael, 177 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 8: we're not a democracy anyway. For the purposes of this discussion, 178 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 8: we are democracy is direct self rule. We are a 179 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 8: democratic republic, a governing system where we elect the folks 180 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 8: who make the decisions as our proxy so we can 181 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 8: get back to work. For the sake of conversation and 182 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,599 Speaker 8: most we are a democracy. I know people love to 183 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 8: say we're not. You're right, we don't have a direct 184 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 8: vote on everything other than referenda and things like that, 185 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 8: but we do have self governance. Well, but they don't 186 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 8: do what we tell them to do, Michael. There's a 187 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 8: whole set of reasons behind that as well. But be 188 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 8: that as it may, A democracy cannot exist as a 189 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 8: permanent form of government. It can only exist until the 190 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 8: voters discovered that they can vote themselves large at from 191 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 8: the public treasury. This is why this right here is 192 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 8: why socialism always appeals, especially to young people. I don't 193 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 8: have to work hard like my daddy did. I don't 194 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 8: work hard like my mommy did. I want to do 195 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 8: to that. Just give it to me. We're rich, just 196 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 8: give it to me. Let's go back to twenty twenty one. 197 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 8: Zoron Mondani, who's elected to the New York State Assembly. 198 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 8: He lamented that they needed to elect more socialists if 199 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 8: they were going to reach their ultimate goal of seizing 200 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 8: the means of production. This should frighten you because this 201 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 8: man's about to be the next mayor of the City 202 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 8: of New York. Seizing the means of production means taking 203 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 8: over private property, which he's made clear he will do businesses, 204 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 8: and of course the people there, you can tell the 205 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 8: people there, hey, he's going to take private property. 206 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're going to. 207 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 2: Get it to be a very lonely and isolating experience. 208 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 2: I'm very lucky that I have five other DSA endorsed 209 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 2: comrades who were with me in the Assembly, in the 210 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 2: State Senate. But for example, before we were elected, Julia 211 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 2: Salazar was an office for two years without a single 212 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 2: of our socialists endorsed by DSA and understanding it then 213 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 2: makes it much easier to run a campaign then will 214 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 2: be built around raising class consciousness because you will run 215 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 2: the campaign challenging current status quo and showcasing through our 216 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 2: critique how this is an issue of capitalism. 217 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,479 Speaker 3: So there are one hundred. 218 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 2: And seven Democrats in the New York State Assembly out 219 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 2: of one hundred and fifty assembler people. I know those 220 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 2: hundred and seven Democrats. There are six DSA ignors elected 221 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 2: and seven DSA members. You have the seventh person who's 222 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 2: the DSA member, though she wasn't unversed by Essa, her 223 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 2: name is Jessica vinzalz roll Us. We do clearly do 224 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 2: not have the numbers as they are in this moment 225 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 2: to win the radical legislation that we need to brink 226 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 2: balt and begin to believe that these kinds of results 227 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 2: are sufficient. 228 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 3: We have to continue to. 229 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 2: Elect more socialists and we have to ensure that we 230 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 2: are unapologetic about our socialism. Now, we had an academic 231 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 2: boycott campaign, and one of the aspects of that was 232 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 2: to fights to stop studying abroad at universities in Israel 233 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 2: that were complicit in the occupation, many of which through 234 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 2: the development of weapons technology for the ideas. Now, by 235 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 2: bringing the issue of Israel Palestine apartheid to Voden. You 236 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 2: bring it frontom center, it's harder to ignore then making 237 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 2: sure that we move to dismantle that relationship. Those are 238 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 2: things that you can do as a legislator, right, you 239 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 2: can pack like, for example, Governor Cole has an executive 240 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 2: order barring you know, I think New York State from 241 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: doing business with any company suspected of sympathizing of a BDS. 242 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 2: One thing I can do as a legislator is once 243 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 2: we build up enough, you know, build up a large 244 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 2: enough coalition for this, we overturned that executive order. But 245 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 2: I sincerely believe in this political project. I sincerely believe 246 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 2: in socialism. For me, it was Palestine that brought me 247 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 2: into this movement. It is such a look, it can 248 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 2: be such a lonely experience to be a socialist, And 249 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 2: it was for me country because my journey, as weren't 250 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 2: alluded to it and referred to organizing, began at my 251 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 2: college campus with students for Justice Palestine to power this 252 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 2: journey in understanding that it is socialism that we are 253 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 2: fighting for at the moment right now, right if we're 254 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 2: talking about the cancelation of student debt, if we're talking 255 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 2: about medicare, for all. You know, these are issues which 256 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 2: have the groundswallow of popular support across this country. But 257 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 2: then there are also other issues that we firmly believe it, 258 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 2: whether it's BDS right or whether it's the end goal 259 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 2: of of season, the mets of production, you've. 260 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 3: Got Michael Berry show. 261 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 8: What's happening in New York right now is an inflection 262 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 8: point for the Democrats. It has put them into a 263 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 8: situation they don't want to be in. They won't flirt 264 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 8: with the radical left, but pretend like the radical left 265 00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 8: is not driving their party, and it's not until, for instance, 266 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 8: one of their candidates, the Attorney general candidate in Virginia, 267 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 8: texts a fellow Democrat and friend that he wants his 268 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,719 Speaker 8: opponent's children to be murdered in front of his opponent 269 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 8: and his opponent's wife so that they can suffer watching 270 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 8: their children die. And now Democrats are being asked, hey, 271 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 8: are you still supporting him, and they go, yeah, we are, actually, 272 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 8: because all we care about is winning. And once you 273 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 8: understand that, you realize they're not offended by anything, they're 274 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 8: not bothered by anything, they're not opposed in They just 275 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 8: want to win elections in half power period, end of story. 276 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 8: Whatever they tell you they care about, because you care about. 277 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 3: Those things, they don't. 278 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 8: They don't care about no kings, they don't care about authoritarianism, 279 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 8: they don't care about any of that. 280 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 3: But they think you do. 281 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 8: So by saying that, they figure they can get you 282 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 8: over to their side. But when see, the crazies are 283 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 8: supposed to be the foot soldiers. But as with every revolution, 284 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 8: at some point one of the foot soldiers decides he's 285 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 8: going to displace the leader of the junta. This is 286 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 8: Kadafi taking over the military in Libya. This is edy, 287 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 8: I mean, assassinating the leader and taking over himself. First 288 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 8: they take over the military, then they take over the government. Well, 289 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 8: in this case you've got the Ratic And by the way, 290 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 8: this was what happened in Russia. It's a fascinating story. 291 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 8: The very people who were the part of the revolution, 292 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 8: once they took over from the czar, they killed all 293 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 8: of them because they didn't want them turning on the 294 00:18:54,920 --> 00:19:00,959 Speaker 8: new power force. So you've got these crazies that Mamdani 295 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 8: has created this environment. So you've got aoc out there, 296 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 8: and you've got Bernie out there, and now the Democrat 297 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 8: Party is in danger. You've got guys like Schumer, who's 298 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 8: not been able to do anything before an hour with 299 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 8: the shutdown, because if he is perceived as weak to Trump, 300 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 8: the Democrat Party doesn't want him to be responsible and compromise. 301 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 8: The Democrat Party wants him to do radical things, and 302 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 8: so he has to keep looking radical when what he 303 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 8: wants to do is in this thing, because it's destroying 304 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 8: the Democrat Party. But a New York Democrat is very 305 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 8: different than the candidates trying to win swing districts in 306 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 8: Kansas or Texas or Louisiana. So they're being dragged to 307 00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 8: the far left extreme by the New York Democrats. And 308 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 8: so the Mamdani case, they're saying, endorse him or don't 309 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 8: are you with us? And if you're not, we're coming 310 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 8: after you. So the Pelosis and the Hakim Jeffries and 311 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 8: all these it's putting them in a real pickle. And 312 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 8: then you look at their rallies. First of all, there's 313 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 8: nobody white there. It's just a bunch of angry immigrants screeching. 314 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 8: And then there's aoc up there and she is she 315 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 8: is completely an actress. She is playing the angry eva 316 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 8: perone ready to slaughter everybody who opposes her as the 317 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 8: you know, as the as the leader of the revolution. 318 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 8: So here she is at the Mamdani rally. And my 319 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 8: favorite thing about this is if you're around somebody who's. 320 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 3: Drunk and you you say, hey, Bob, we need to 321 00:20:54,440 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 3: get you a ride home. You're drunk. Oh, drumk diver. 322 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 8: The one thing they will not tolerate is you saying 323 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 8: they're drunk, and the drunker they are, the more true. 324 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 8: That is, well, that's true. In this case, AOC says, 325 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 8: they say we're crazy. We're not crazy. They're crazy.

Do you remember Chris Murphy. 409 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 8: Chris Murphy was the head of the Biden campaign. He's 410 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 8: a Democrat senator from Connecticut, and he was on one 411 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 8: of the morning talk shows on the Sunday. Remember it 412 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 8: was a Sunday when they when they smothered Biden. And 413 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 8: then there was this who's going to be the nominee. 414 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 8: And they go, oh, no, no, no, Biden's dad and uh, 415 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 8: Kamala is going to be the nominee. Barack said, so, 416 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 8: I mean, I'm sorry. Hillary said so, Well, Barack wasn't 417 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 8: ready for Kamala Harris. I think he had his own choice, 418 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 8: and so he didn't immediately get on board. But they said, oh, 419 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 8: the Clintons, because there's a battle for who is going 420 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 8: to be the elder statesman of the Democrat Party. Hillary 421 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 8: and Bill want that, and Obama's kind of been the 422 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 8: de facto of that, and Obama sort of sort of 423 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 8: eased Bill and Hillary out, but the Clintons, the Clintons 424 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 8: want to be that that force. The Clintons, especially Bill, 425 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 8: is more popular among a certain segment than Barack is. 426 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 8: Hillary is terribly unpopular and always has been, going back 427 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 8: to nineteen ninety two. I'll never forget when Bill Clinton said, 428 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 8: you know, we're a buy one, get one free, you 429 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 8: get two for the price of one. I said at 430 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 8: the time, as did others, I don't think anybody wants 431 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 8: to for the price of one. 432 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 3: They don't want her at all. 433 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 8: And then she started pushing what became hillary Care, which 434 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 8: was Obamacare one point zero, and between that and the 435 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 8: gun grabbing in nineteen ninety four, Republicans took back the 436 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 8: House for the first time in forty or fifty years. 437 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 8: That's when Nut Gingrich's contract with America. Immediately, Bill Clinton 438 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 8: gets Dick Morris on the phone, and Morris creates the 439 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 8: triangulation policy, moves him to the middle, runs him against 440 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 8: Bob Dole, terrible candidate in nineteen ninety six, and the 441 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 8: rest is history. Now, Dick Morris couldn't keep his pants 442 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 8: s it neither his nor Bill Clinton, so that wasn't 443 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 8: his fault. But in any case, Senator Chris Murphy was 444 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 8: on CNN This is the Guy on Sunday Morning, was saying, 445 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 8: Joe Biden did a great job at the debate. He's 446 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 8: going to be our next president. He's gonna stay president. 447 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 8: He's as smart as ever, he's as clever as ever. 448 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 8: Twenty minutes later, Hey, Chris, they smothered him. Let's say 449 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 8: it's going to be come law. He goes on, he's 450 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 8: clearly shocked. Oh, well, I don't know what happened. Nobody 451 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 8: asked me. No, no, they didn't. So he's trying to 452 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 8: get himself back into a leadership position. So he said 453 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 8: that Trump loves the shutdown because he ready for this. 454 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 8: Trump is trying to transition to a totalitarian state. They 455 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 8: are all so desperate to find something that will stick. 456 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 8: First it was going to be the shutdown. See that 457 00:29:54,960 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 8: the conventional wisdom was always the shutdown by the Republicans 458 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 8: helped Clinton and hurt the Republicans. That's also when he 459 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 8: was putting his cigar in Monica Lewinsky's who But in 460 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 8: any case, so the idea was they were going to 461 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 8: shut down the government. Then there was the no kings, 462 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 8: nothing they're doing. They just keep throwing They kep trying 463 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 8: to know. The newest one is he's trying to transition 464 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 8: us to a totalitarian state. 465 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 3: I think one of the. 466 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 12: Reasons that President trup President Trump is refusing to negotiate 467 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 12: is because he likes the fact that the government is closed, 468 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 12: because he thinks he can exercise king like powers, He 469 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 12: can open up the parts of the government that he wants, 470 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 12: he can pay the employees who are loyal to him. 471 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 12: I mean, this is a leader who is trying to 472 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 12: transition our government from a democracy to something much closer 473 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 12: to a totalitarian state. 474 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 8: He was also asked about the Senate Canada. The Senate 475 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 8: Canada from Maine, Graham Platner and his Nazi tattoo. I 476 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 8: keep getting people told me it's not a Nazi. It's 477 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 8: actually it's a Nazi tattoo. Just go ahead and know that. 478 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 8: So you called him real impressive, But since then we've 479 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 8: discovered he has a Nazi tattoo. So you call Trump 480 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 8: a Nazi? And for what for moving the Israeli the 481 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 8: American embassy to Jerusalem, for bringing peace to the Middle East. 482 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 8: Now you got a real Nazi in your party and 483 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 8: you got nothing to love for him. What's going on here? 484 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 3: All right? So let's see how he responds to that. 485 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 4: Earlier this month, you called Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner impressive. 486 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 4: But since then, obviously a lot about him has come out, 487 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 4: including the fact that he had a Totin cough, which 488 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 4: is a skullhead's Nazi emblem for the SS, he had 489 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 4: one of those tattooed on his chest. He's denied that 490 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 4: he knew what the tattoo meant until recently, but CNN 491 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 4: did find several times he discussed the total cof emblem 492 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 4: in recent years and months. Do you still think Platner 493 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 4: is impressive? 494 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw that reporting. 495 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 12: I think I'm meeting with him this upcoming week, so 496 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 12: I'm certainly interested to hear from him about it. I mean, 497 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 12: anytime you see something like that, you scratch your head. 498 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 12: But I've also listened to him talk about I mean, 499 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,959 Speaker 12: the difficult time that he went through in his life, 500 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 12: and frankly, it's not unfamiliar to a lot of soldiers 501 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 12: who came back from service and had a very difficult 502 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 12: time readjusting. So he sounds like a human being to me, 503 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 12: a human being who made mistakes, recognizes them, and is 504 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 12: very open about it. But yeah, certainly I'm looking forward 505 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 12: to sitting down and talking to him about it. He's, obviously, 506 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 12: you know, right now, performing very well in the polls 507 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 12: in Maine. He's talking a language that speaks to a 508 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 12: lot of middle class voters, a lot of Trump voters 509 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 12: that frankly are looking for Democrats that understand working class concerns, 510 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 12: and I'm looking forward to hearing from him. 511 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 8: Democrats have been calling Republicans Nazis for years, but then 512 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 8: one of their own candidates decorates himself his body with 513 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 8: permanent Nazi imagery and. 514 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 3: Then all of a sudden, well, Nazis aren't so bad. 515 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 8: Do you remember how they treated Elon Musk after he 516 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,479 Speaker 8: did a wave that said, my heart goes out to you. 517 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 3: They made that a Nazi. These people are nuts. 518 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 12: What you saw is what you think you saw. Elon 519 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 12: Musk did Kyle Hitler salute? He did, and what you 520 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 12: were talking about is maybe the most dangerous moment in 521 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 12: modern American political history. Whereas there is a sense of 522 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 12: endorsements from Elon Musk and a sense of entitlement and immunity,
