WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.960
actually warning against that. How is that difficult to fucking comprehend? My

2
00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:03.400
argument

3
00:00:03.400 --> 00:00:08.340
is why the fuck are you letting your institutions in the United States of

4
00:00:08.340 --> 00:00:10.060
America ride unlimited

5
00:00:10.060 --> 00:00:13.630
ride and and and offer unlimited support for the nation state of Israel, but it

6
00:00:13.630 --> 00:00:14.100
's doing

7
00:00:14.100 --> 00:00:19.480
heinous Nazi shit. You are teaching everybody that you only care about that.

8
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:19.600
Even if you

9
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:24.240
personally don't, you have to, you have to make a separation, right? You have

10
00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:24.800
to make

11
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.840
that separation personally and you have to be let it be known because if you

12
00:00:28.840 --> 00:00:29.400
don't make

13
00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:34.320
that separation personally, if you can't rid yourself of whatever your own

14
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:35.280
personal feelings

15
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:38.830
are towards the nation state of Israel, you are allowing these Jewish

16
00:00:38.830 --> 00:00:39.880
institutions that

17
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:44.640
masquerades Jewish institutions, but simply our institutions of Israel that

18
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:46.720
that are singularly

19
00:00:46.720 --> 00:00:50.060
focused on defending the nation state of Israel. Oftentimes teaching people

20
00:00:50.060 --> 00:00:50.760
that any critic

21
00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:54.150
of the nation state of Israel is actually an anti semi teaching people the

22
00:00:54.150 --> 00:00:54.840
wrong lesson

23
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:59.960
teaching them that there is dual loyalty here when that's not the fucking case.

24
00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:00.340
I talked

25
00:01:00.340 --> 00:01:04.340
about this extensively with John Favreau and that in that long conversation

26
00:01:04.340 --> 00:01:05.560
that we had

27
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:09.920
that just got released yesterday as well, right?

28
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:27.910
Meanwhile, here is RNC research also freaking the fuck out. So awesome. Anytime

29
00:01:27.910 --> 00:01:28.480
I say some

30
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:32.580
shit, any time I say some shit, these guys lose their minds over it. It's great

31
00:01:32.580 --> 00:01:33.000
. Potsay

32
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:37.000
bros are fucking morons. This guy says Julius Hernandez, policy nerd campaign

33
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:37.280
operative

34
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:42.840
former director of advocacy, pragmatic and progressive, right? He's very mad at

35
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:43.400
the pod

36
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:48.000
johns highlighting what I have to say and actually offering me a platform to,

37
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:48.560
to, you

38
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.590
know, correct the record or to educate people on like what I truly believe,

39
00:01:52.590 --> 00:01:53.360
especially at

40
00:01:53.360 --> 00:02:01.990
a time when especially at a time when there is a lot of nonsense out there in

41
00:02:01.990 --> 00:02:03.280
the ether,

42
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:07.880
right? And it's so funny that they just like these guys will never fucking give

43
00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:08.280
up. They

44
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:12.300
keep saying, they keep saying, all right, enough talking about Hassan, but they

45
00:02:12.300 --> 00:02:12.680
never

46
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.910
actually stop. Trae Easton, the Democratic party. So right when the list chain,

47
00:02:15.910 --> 00:02:16.280
he didn't

48
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:18.700
need to ask Kamala to change her positions in order to endorse her or something

49
00:02:18.700 --> 00:02:19.120
you say

50
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:26.170
after smoking crack, right? Like I thought that they were done, but it turns

51
00:02:26.170 --> 00:02:26.600
out they're

52
00:02:26.600 --> 00:02:30.000
not done. It turns out they got more smoke. Here's Jeremiah Johnson, one of my

53
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:30.440
number one

54
00:02:30.440 --> 00:02:36.290
ops saying Hassan is pro authoritarianism. He's illiberal. He hates democracy,

55
00:02:36.290 --> 00:02:37.240
blah, blah,

56
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:43.620
blah. He doesn't want to like kill every Chinese person. So clearly, you know,

57
00:02:43.620 --> 00:02:45.400
he means, he

58
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:49.400
doesn't want to nuclear first strike the three gorgeous dam. We have to fucking

59
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:49.600
cancel this

60
00:02:49.600 --> 00:02:57.300
person. That's pretty much what Jeremiah Johnson's attitude is here. Okay. It's

61
00:02:57.300 --> 00:02:59.960
so fucking stupid.

62
00:02:59.960 --> 00:03:03.400
They're leaning into preexisting, oftentimes reactionary attitudes that

63
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:04.280
Americans harbor

64
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:09.200
in their hearts about foreign adversaries. And my argument always is there's a

65
00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:09.520
lot we

66
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.590
can learn from other countries. Every country has a lesson we can learn from

67
00:03:12.590 --> 00:03:13.280
both good and

68
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:17.890
bad. And China certainly has been able to develop so profoundly over the course

69
00:03:17.890 --> 00:03:18.200
of the

70
00:03:18.200 --> 00:03:21.450
last couple of decades that there is a lot to learn there as far as good

71
00:03:21.450 --> 00:03:23.000
governance goes,

72
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:27.600
right? This doesn't mean that I am in support of everything that the Chinese

73
00:03:27.600 --> 00:03:28.200
state does or

74
00:03:28.200 --> 00:03:32.580
think that it would be good here. I'm very clear on that, but it doesn't even

75
00:03:32.580 --> 00:03:33.560
fucking matter.

76
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:38.700
These guys are such annoying China hawks at a time when the rest of the planet

77
00:03:38.700 --> 00:03:39.600
's attitude

78
00:03:39.600 --> 00:03:50.720
on China is changing dramatically.

79
00:03:50.720 --> 00:04:07.940
Julius Hernandez reposted this. I don't care. Boomer on Facebook. Learn of your

80
00:04:07.940 --> 00:04:10.760
existence.

81
00:04:10.760 --> 00:04:16.200
A month ago, I knew nothing about Pike. Now in Democrat circles, it's Pike 24

82
00:04:16.200 --> 00:04:16.920
seven.

83
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:21.580
I think it's good to have a Pike challenging the party. The boomer cracks are

84
00:04:21.580 --> 00:04:22.200
turning into

85
00:04:22.200 --> 00:04:27.370
Bernie Kratz, ladies and gentlemen, you are too anti China. I am not. I think I

86
00:04:27.370 --> 00:04:28.680
'm sufficiently,

87
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:32.710
I'm sufficiently promotional of good things that China does. And also

88
00:04:32.710 --> 00:04:33.640
sufficiently critical

89
00:04:33.640 --> 00:04:45.160
of things that China does that I think are not replicable here. You understand?

90
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:54.830
Hassan Pike, baby. Do we have a blast off meme or not a blast off meme? Sorry.

91
00:04:54.830 --> 00:04:55.320
I blasted

92
00:04:55.320 --> 00:05:00.080
off already. Do we have? What am I talking about? Do we have the, the Macy's

93
00:05:00.080 --> 00:05:00.760
playlist?

94
00:05:00.760 --> 00:05:05.480
This guy looked at this two minute clip and lost his damn mind. Let's take a

95
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:05.800
look at what

96
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:06.800
the clip featured.

97
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:10.470
You said you wouldn't vote for Gavin Newsom against JD vans in 2028. Yeah, yeah

98
00:05:10.470 --> 00:05:10.760
, yeah.

99
00:05:10.760 --> 00:05:14.760
Third party. I mean, I don't even think that's going to be a problem. Well,

100
00:05:14.760 --> 00:05:15.520
like a lot of

101
00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:19.520
people, including people who share a lot of your critiques of Democratic party

102
00:05:19.520 --> 00:05:19.760
hear that

103
00:05:19.760 --> 00:05:23.720
and think like this is the problem, you know, when the stakes are concrete,

104
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:24.240
like a Vance

105
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.320
presidency and other four years of what we're living through, you know, the

106
00:05:27.320 --> 00:05:28.000
people who say

107
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.030
they're building a movement would, you know, like rather preserve their own

108
00:05:31.030 --> 00:05:31.600
power than,

109
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:35.600
you know, do what winning requires and, you know, hold your nose and vote for

110
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:35.760
what you

111
00:05:35.760 --> 00:05:39.170
believe would be the lesser of two evils. Like, how do you respond to that? I

112
00:05:39.170 --> 00:05:39.920
want the Democratic

113
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:43.340
party to treat me like a Never Trumper. I want the Democratic party to treat me

114
00:05:43.340 --> 00:05:43.560
like

115
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:48.980
a triple Trump voter. Okay, because it turns out that's all they're tuned into.

116
00:05:48.980 --> 00:05:49.600
So if that,

117
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.170
if what it takes for the Democrats to turn around and be like, wait a minute,

118
00:05:52.170 --> 00:05:52.720
we're losing

119
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:56.120
this guy, we have to win him over again or whatever, instead of just like

120
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:56.960
taking my vote

121
00:05:56.960 --> 00:06:01.410
for granted, as they've done so over and over again for the left flank. And

122
00:06:01.410 --> 00:06:02.200
then, you know,

123
00:06:02.200 --> 00:06:05.560
I'm going to say things that may or may not end up being true, but it doesn't

124
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:06.120
matter.

125
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:10.050
We're so far out from the election. Anyway, that it's like, I'm just saying,

126
00:06:10.050 --> 00:06:10.200
look, now

127
00:06:10.200 --> 00:06:14.390
is your opportunity to find a good candidate instead. But you see, but you see

128
00:06:14.390 --> 00:06:15.040
as we head

129
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:19.040
into these that like after what we've lived through these last years, the

130
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:19.800
stakes and the

131
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:27.500
stark difference between even a Democrat who you and I might find not up to par

132
00:06:27.500 --> 00:06:28.040
to say

133
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:32.240
at least versus Vance or whoever the fuck they put up. Of course. I mean, I

134
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:33.480
hate Republicans.

135
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:39.180
I oppose them. I say that all the time. I think that the Republicans are far

136
00:06:39.180 --> 00:06:40.120
more damaging.

137
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.050
The biggest terrorists, the biggest domestic terrorists in this country, the

138
00:06:43.050 --> 00:06:43.880
biggest terrorists

139
00:06:43.880 --> 00:06:48.850
internationally is the Republican Party. And not only that, but it's just like

140
00:06:48.850 --> 00:06:49.440
they, like

141
00:06:49.440 --> 00:06:54.880
I want to fight against the growing fascist movement in this country. My

142
00:06:54.880 --> 00:06:55.360
frustration with

143
00:06:55.360 --> 00:07:00.210
the Democrats is their conciliatory attitude towards that and their lack of

144
00:07:00.210 --> 00:07:01.040
investment

145
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:05.660
in this struggle, this idea that on the one hand, you say, Donald Trump's a

146
00:07:05.660 --> 00:07:06.420
dangerous

147
00:07:06.420 --> 00:07:11.090
force. I see that. I recognize that. But then you turn around and you take on

148
00:07:11.090 --> 00:07:12.200
his anti-immigrant

149
00:07:12.200 --> 00:07:17.040
narratives and anti-immigrant messaging from the 2020 election that you won and

150
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:17.520
decide

151
00:07:17.520 --> 00:07:22.440
you're going to be the sincere candidate that ends up dealing with the growth

152
00:07:22.440 --> 00:07:23.360
of migration

153
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:27.370
in this country. It's a failure. If you were serious about being an anti-

154
00:07:27.370 --> 00:07:27.840
fascist, if you

155
00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:34.800
were serious about combating these forces, you would take it more seriously.

156
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:47.970
Yeah. He got so mad. Like imagine being a democratic operative, hearing this

157
00:07:47.970 --> 00:07:48.680
statement

158
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:52.150
and then being upset about it, being offended by it. So much so that you

159
00:07:52.150 --> 00:07:52.920
actually attack

160
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:57.580
the guys who are simply having this conversation, the pod johns, right? I got

161
00:07:57.580 --> 00:07:58.200
the playlist. Thank

162
00:07:58.200 --> 00:08:00.930
you to Macy's. Pod say bros are fucking more. I was writing off Obama's name

163
00:08:00.930 --> 00:08:01.360
for years and

164
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:04.640
now bring in anti-Semitic dirtbags like platinum. This loser has never done a

165
00:08:04.640 --> 00:08:05.360
damn thing or

166
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.550
even worked an election to try and tell our party what it should do. Spare me

167
00:08:08.550 --> 00:08:08.840
and shut

168
00:08:08.840 --> 00:08:17.530
the fuck up. Mike from his faces, you lost Lemme Faele. Owned meta analysis of

169
00:08:17.530 --> 00:08:17.840
Ezra

170
00:08:17.840 --> 00:08:20.800
Klein, John Fabs is on the hunt. Klein and Favreau have corporate megaphones

171
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:21.320
built for

172
00:08:21.320 --> 00:08:24.870
them by money. Piker built his own megaphone. The corporate megaphones realize

173
00:08:24.870 --> 00:08:25.280
they must

174
00:08:25.280 --> 00:08:28.560
acknowledge independent megaphone as they relevant. That's a big power shift. I

175
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:28.800
mean,

176
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:35.790
I, I don't have as, as critical of an approach here, as, as David Saroda. But

177
00:08:35.790 --> 00:08:36.160
the reality

178
00:08:36.160 --> 00:08:40.390
of the matter is there are at least some forces in the party who sincerely want

179
00:08:40.390 --> 00:08:41.680
to win and

180
00:08:41.680 --> 00:08:46.280
they understand that they have to, they have to change certain strategies,

181
00:08:46.280 --> 00:08:47.080
right? They

182
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:51.910
have to change certain strategies. And part of that, part of that is to, to

183
00:08:51.910 --> 00:08:52.560
lean into

184
00:08:52.560 --> 00:08:59.940
their base. Part of that is to be unafraid. Okay. They have to do that. Like

185
00:08:59.940 --> 00:09:00.360
Republicans

186
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:08.230
are so, they're, they're, they're so gross. Right. Republicans are so gross and

187
00:09:08.230 --> 00:09:09.480
so unapologetic

188
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.630
about their repulsive ideologies. Why can't we be unapologetic about our good

189
00:09:13.630 --> 00:09:14.440
ideologies,

190
00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:22.030
our good worldview? It blows my fucking mind. It doesn't make any sense. But of

191
00:09:22.030 --> 00:09:22.880
course,

192
00:09:22.880 --> 00:09:27.510
what are the new liberals doing? This dumb nonsense. Okay. These guys are the,

193
00:09:27.510 --> 00:09:28.180
the number

194
00:09:28.180 --> 00:09:32.180
one left ashers, your vice chair called on Trump to murder her political

195
00:09:32.180 --> 00:09:32.700
opponents less

196
00:09:32.700 --> 00:09:37.060
than a month ago and you still haven't done anything about it, says Carl Byer.

197
00:09:37.060 --> 00:09:38.000
It's, it's

198
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:43.800
just so insincere. And these guys are so motionless. It's kind of funny that

199
00:09:43.800 --> 00:09:45.800
they still do this.

200
00:09:45.800 --> 00:09:48.950
Like they're trying to eat off of this, right? They're trying to eat off of the

201
00:09:48.950 --> 00:09:51.600
, the, the

202
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:55.600
centrist rage, right? The centrist rage that exists that's bubbling up in the

203
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:56.080
consulting

204
00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:00.830
class that's bubbling up in the center, right, republic, center, right,

205
00:10:00.830 --> 00:10:02.240
democratic party.

206
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:04.190
There's something missing from the Hassan Parker discourse. Sans fans and

207
00:10:04.190 --> 00:10:04.680
critics often

208
00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:07.540
overlook the most troubling fact about him. The core problem with the songpiker

209
00:10:07.540 --> 00:10:07.760
is that

210
00:10:07.760 --> 00:10:11.140
on a fundamental level, he doesn't believe in liberal democracy. I don't

211
00:10:11.140 --> 00:10:12.080
believe in liberalism.

212
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:16.890
Yes. I'm a socialist. Like I don't. Liberalism is objectively failing. Can we

213
00:10:16.890 --> 00:10:17.320
have a sincere

214
00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:20.530
conversation about that without you just being like, without you coming across

215
00:10:20.530 --> 00:10:21.120
like fucking

216
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:25.120
Steven Crowder and being like, you hate America and you love China. You love

217
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:25.440
Russia. You're

218
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:31.090
a fucking idiot. It's, it's unbelievable. These people literally would rather

219
00:10:31.090 --> 00:10:31.760
allow the

220
00:10:31.760 --> 00:10:37.270
country to fall apart, allow the Western world to just perish or seed all

221
00:10:37.270 --> 00:10:38.720
political ground

222
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:43.420
to the growth of illiberal fascism instead of having a sincere conversation

223
00:10:43.420 --> 00:10:44.080
about how

224
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:53.040
to successfully oppose fascism. Liberalism has lost the Trump twice. It's so

225
00:10:53.040 --> 00:10:53.560
fucking

226
00:10:53.560 --> 00:10:57.280
stupid that these guys will literally be like, I don't care. At the end of the

227
00:10:57.280 --> 00:10:57.760
day, I don't

228
00:10:57.760 --> 00:11:03.280
think they care. I don't think they care if Trump wins.

229
00:11:03.280 --> 00:11:05.940
I saw a third way ad about you online. They're actually spending money shit

230
00:11:05.940 --> 00:11:06.720
talking to you.

231
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:10.730
Yeah. Please don't read the whole thread. He winds and winds about your stuff.

232
00:11:10.730 --> 00:11:10.840
You've

233
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:15.050
debunked a million times. I know it's all like, Hassan Parker says he won't

234
00:11:15.050 --> 00:11:15.880
criticize

235
00:11:15.880 --> 00:11:21.300
Mao Zedong, regardless of his excesses, right? Like I've, I've been, I think it

236
00:11:21.300 --> 00:11:22.640
's so, it's

237
00:11:22.640 --> 00:11:27.080
so insane to be like, the songpiker says we have to learn from China. There are

238
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:27.440
many

239
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:31.880
lessons that we can take from Chinese governance. Wow. How unbelievable that I

240
00:11:31.880 --> 00:11:34.080
've said that.

241
00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:39.510
All of this relies on the receptive, uh, all of this relies on a receptive

242
00:11:39.510 --> 00:11:40.600
audience that

243
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:46.040
also has the same fucking hang ups and, and non-chaired ability that Jeremiah

244
00:11:46.040 --> 00:11:47.720
Johnson has.

245
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:53.540
And let's be real reactionary xenophobia against established foreign adversary

246
00:11:53.540 --> 00:11:55.960
countries, create

247
00:11:55.960 --> 00:12:00.670
an environment where a lot of people have that lack of charitable and they will

248
00:12:00.670 --> 00:12:01.280
lean into

249
00:12:01.280 --> 00:12:04.160
it. They'll go, I don't want to hear what the fuck he asked to say about these

250
00:12:04.160 --> 00:12:04.560
foreign

251
00:12:04.560 --> 00:12:09.160
countries, a perspective that I've never, a perspective that I've never

252
00:12:09.160 --> 00:12:10.600
actually encountered,

253
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:15.200
a perspective that I've never thought about, right? Um, but instead I'm

254
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:16.240
immediately going

255
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:21.610
to go, Oh dude, you said, you said there's something, there's some things that

256
00:12:21.610 --> 00:12:21.960
we can

257
00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:25.240
learn from Chinese governance that must mean you hate the United States of

258
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:25.880
America, you

259
00:12:25.880 --> 00:12:31.310
want America to perish and, and, uh, you want, uh, China to win. It's like,

260
00:12:31.310 --> 00:12:32.320
well, kind of feels

261
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:35.810
like nowadays, I don't need to do anything. It seems like Donald Trump wants

262
00:12:35.810 --> 00:12:36.520
China to win

263
00:12:36.520 --> 00:12:40.020
a lot more than fucking what you think I, uh, want
