IC–019 | Democrats Are Bought by Israel and in General
Transcript. Timestamps are stored-video seconds.

[0:00] the
[0:05] roll call is not available so unless you go into C span, the live footage from
[0:10] C span you're not going to be able to
[0:12] figure out you're not going to be able to figure out whether or not
[0:15] doors open
[0:24] and
[0:38] so I don't know why people are saying he leaves even is definitely voting on
[0:39] this they saw it unless they were watching C span and
[0:40] tracking it
[0:43] More Democrats either didn't vote for or voted no 98 or present 10 on cutting
[1:06] all aid to
[1:08] Israel than Democrats that voted yes. That is that's it. It is a seismic shift
[1:15] in U.S. foreign policy. 48% of the Democratic Caucus. Massey was the lone
[1:18] Republican. Yes.
[1:20] What was interesting is Pelosi actually voted yes. Nancy Pelosi says she will
[1:35] vote yes on the Massey amendment to withhold aid from Israel.
[1:39] This is obviously symbolic. This is obviously symbolic, but Nancy Pelosi
[1:45] understands which way the winds are blowing. Okay.
[1:48] This is important to recognize. It's important to understand that Nancy Pelosi
[1:54] as Speaker Emerita.
[1:56] One of the most impactful Democrats in Congress recognizes which way the the
[2:03] room is the room temperature is shifting and is moving
[2:08] along with it. She has all the power to just, you know, if she's out after this
[2:14] , after this season, she has literally nothing to lose. If she wanted to, if she
[2:22] wanted to, if she wanted to basically say, look, I want, I want to continue
[2:28] funding Israel is very important.
[2:29] Then she would have voted yes on this or I mean, she would have voted no on the
[2:35] Massey amendment.
[2:39] It's really interesting to scheme Jeffries is Nancy Pelosi's hand selected
[2:43] candidate to run the Democratic Party in the, in the House of Representatives.
[2:50] Today, the Massey amendment presents an unfortunate choice to the House as one
[2:54] who was committed to a strong U.S. Israel relationship and a supportive and
[2:58] supportive of a two state solution. I respect Leader Jeffries decides to
[3:01] propose to achieve a just and lasting peace.
[3:05] The United States must force must be a force for security and stability. The
[3:07] American people are rightly demanding an end to perpetual cycle of war and the
[3:10] Netanyahu government cannot maintain his current course. Therefore, while this
[3:13] amendment is ill conceived, I vote yes for the message that it sends.
[3:17] She knows it won't pass. If she was the lone deciding vote, of course, she
[3:25] would vote in favor of it.
[3:33] She's always been very savvy politically.
[3:35] It's a PR move, but it's still one that signifies something changing.
[3:41] I'm just saying it's, it's still obviously dog shit. And I need you guys to
[3:46] understand this doesn't mean anything. And that's precisely the reason why
[3:49] these guys even have the level of comfort to vote. No, for the most part with
[3:52] the exception of like,
[3:53] Summer Lee, AOC, Rokana, people like that. Like all the other, all of the other
[4:01] 100 Democrats that voted yes voted in favor of the Thomas Massey amendment that
[4:05] that in the past have never taken a significant position against Israel are
[4:10] doing so because they want the benefits of it.
[4:13] Which means that the environment has shifted dramatically in our, to the side
[4:18] of truth, to the side of justice, at least amongst the base.
[4:22] That means there's such a tremendous amount of appetite for someone to actually
[4:26] tell Israel to fuck off that 100 Democrats voted. I need you to understand in
[4:30] comparison to where we were two years ago, three years ago, where we were 10
[4:35] years ago. This is unfathomable. This is an unfathomable seismic shift.
[4:41] Seismic shift that still is utterly meaningless in the grand scheme of things
[4:46] because obviously the amendment was struck down because there's always enough
[4:50] votes.
[4:50] Just this morning, people were expecting 40 Democrat votes when we actually
[5:01] actually got 100. That's movement, but not enough. Yes. And there will always
[5:07] be spoilers. The Kim Jeffries will ensure that there's always spoilers
[5:10] regardless.
[5:11] We have to do is is mathematically make it impossible for them.
[5:15] So we still have a long way to go. We still have a long way to go. Obviously
[5:25] half of the Democrats are still bought and paid for by Israel. Half of the
[5:28] Democrats are still bought and paid for in general.
[5:32] Why did the Republicans vote? No. What do you mean? They're fucking dogs.
[5:39] Why are you not teaching a streamer university? Because it's streamer
[5:42] university every day in here where I'm teaching you geopolitical crises that
[5:46] are taking place all around the world.
[5:48] In any case, like I said, 74% of Democrat voters, 74% of Democratic party
[5:58] voters want to cut off aid to Israel.
[6:01] The fact that only half of the Democrats are comfortable with that is still
[6:06] devastating.
[6:09] What does any of these have to do with socialism?
[6:21] You're right, buddy. You're right. Fuck the Palestinians, right?
[6:29] Who cares about American foreign policy in the MENA region? Who cares about all
[6:35] the Iranians dying, all the Lebanese people dying, all the death and
[6:38] destruction that's taking place?
[6:40] Are they all socialist? Good bait. Good bait. Thank you.
[6:46] On Sheamus, Sheamus in Dillon's office podcast, Matt Petty said that the
[6:51] Republican base is where the Dems were five years ago, but the trend line
[6:55] suggests that most Americans will be opposed to Israel over the coming years.
[7:00] Quite a departure from being ignorant to foreign policy. Yes.
[7:08] Yes. But it's good. The sign of positivity here is that foreign policy is no
[7:16] longer seen as a separate thing for the longest time. And it's not. It's not
[7:21] separate.
[7:21] Foreign policy and domestic policy are tied to one another. American
[7:24] experiences here are impacted by our foreign policy over there. But for the
[7:30] longest time, Americans did not make that connection.
[7:34] Now they are Israel and the attitude shift against Israel has played a major
[7:39] role in this. Okay.
[7:41] Americans are more in tune with APAC. They're more aware of corporate pack
[7:47] expenditures, more aware of a foreign policy apparatus, a foreign country's
[7:53] influence on American elections. This is a good thing.
[7:57] It's a it's a positive change. Obviously we're not there yet. And we have to
[8:01] keep pushing. And it's incredibly important that we have to keep pushing.
[8:05] What do you think that triggered that shift? 9/11? No, October 7 triggered that
[8:18] shift.
[8:20] Even with 9/11, Americans, by and large, were in support of the global war on
[8:24] terror. And it took 20 years for them to recognize that it was an abject
[8:27] failure. And then a lot of money was spent on it, that money could have been
[8:31] spent on health care, for example.
[8:33] But even then they weren't angry enough. Whereas now, now with the level of
[8:38] frustration that is mounted against not only America's on this unbelievable
[8:46] lesion that America has with this foreign country Israel, but its impact, its
[8:50] direct impact on domestic concerns has frustrated Americans and have made them
[8:54] realize.
[8:55] Have made Americans realize that foreign policy and domestic policy is insepar
[9:01] able. All the money that we're spending overseas could be spent here instead.
[9:05] Okay. This is a good thing. This is not a bad thing. This is a good thing.
[9:12] Everything that the government is doing, everything that the Democrats are
[9:16] doing to control the situation is obviously another hurdle that we have to
[9:20] fight back against, but always be cognizant of the fact that we have the people
[9:25] .
[9:25] Okay. And that's part of the reason why we can't let up. We can't feel
[9:29] discouraged. We can't be nihilistic. We can't lean into like, idiotic, idiotic,
[9:35] black-pilled narratives that change is not happening fast enough.
[9:40] Okay. Roll call is up for the recorded vote for the Massey, the Massey
[9:47] amendment.
[9:49] Let's see what Stevens did.
[9:59] Wait, it's not, it's, oh wait, it's in the nose. Yeah, Stevens also voted no.
[10:03] There you go. Unsurprising. Expected.
[10:23] I don't think this accurate. How are there 421 nose? Yeah, I don't know why
[10:30] they're.
[10:31] Yeah, it says 211 Democratic knows. I don't think that's correct.
[10:40] It might be. Yeah, this might not be accurate.
