00:00:00.000 I feel fed up saying this.
00:00:03.000 It's scary being a public speaker.
00:00:07.000 And I mean, look, ever since that guy, Charlie Kirk, got murdered, and I shouldn't say this publicly, but I feel better.
00:00:24.000 I know I shouldn't say that, but it's just a feeling.
00:00:31.000 That is Dave Chappelle, comedian.
00:00:33.000 Now, listen, comedians are held to a different standard than other people mainly because they're joking.
00:00:37.000 But that right there is not really a joke.
00:00:39.000 It's not even close to a joke.
00:00:41.000 It is a reflection of deep and underlying hatred.
00:00:44.000 And let's just be clear the supposedly tolerant, optimistic left is filled with it.
00:00:57.000 What Dave Chappelle says there that, you know, when Charlie Kirk was shot, he felt better.
00:01:01.000 That is who many on the left are at root.
00:01:03.000 Now, as we'll explore, there are, you know, members of the Democratic Party who don't feel this way, but there are also a lot of Democrats who pretend to be uncomfortable with this stuff and actually are pretty okay with this stuff.
00:01:15.000 There's certainly a game being played in which many of the pseudo moderates of the Democratic Party pretend to dislike the radicals and then promptly work with them to shove the Overton window, the range of acceptable discourse, far to the left.
00:01:27.000 Now, Dave Chappelle will hide behind the fact that he's a comedian.
00:01:30.000 Because again, this is the game clown nose on, clown nose off.
00:01:33.000 I'm a political analyst when I don't wish to be taken as a joke.
00:01:36.000 But the minute I say something controversial, well, the clown nose is back on and it was all a joke.
00:01:40.000 Now, actually, we can tell the difference between a joke and not really a joke.
00:01:44.000 So, in fact, Chappelle told another joke that same night that's not getting quite the same play for a reason.
00:01:49.000 It's a bad joke, but it does live in the joke universe.
00:01:54.000 I'm sure Charlie Parker's looking up at us right now, laughing so hard he can't breathe.
00:02:04.000 Now, again, if you couldn't hear that, he is basically just taking a joke that Tony Hinchcliffe did during the roast of Kevin Hart back in May about the murder of George Floyd, where Tony Hinchcliffe said, The black community is so proud of you.
00:02:16.000 Right now, George Floyd is looking up at us all, laughing so hard he can't breathe.
00:02:20.000 If you remember, we actually played that clip on the show, and I said, I was kind of like, I'm not sure I love that.
00:02:24.000 Anyway, this right here was Chappelle taking that same joke, inserting the name Charlie Kirk for George Floyd, and then telling it.
00:02:31.000 Now, the very fact that Chappelle puts Charlie Kirk, a political activist not arrested or accused of any crime, In the same category with George Floyd, an arrested criminal who experienced excited delirium in a cop car and then died under disputed circumstances.
00:02:43.000 It's pretty telling.
00:02:44.000 But again, Chappelle's George Floyd Tony Hinchcliffe comparison joke is a troll.
00:02:49.000 It's designed to elicit a response from the right so he can say you don't like free speech. 0.85
00:02:49.000 It's a troll. 0.85
00:02:54.000 But it's the other one that's not really a joke. 0.99
00:02:57.000 Chappelle is obviously perfectly fine seeing conservatives be shot to death.
00:03:01.000 Now, quick side note to conservatives here, because this is something we've been dealing with in the conservative movement for decades at this point.
00:03:06.000 Just because a famous person might agree with you on one core issue, Say, trans radicalism, the way Dave Chappelle does.
00:03:12.000 That doesn't mean that they are decent people or thought leaders for your side or ought to be treated with broad respect.
00:03:17.000 Now, again, back to Chappelle and the far left.
00:03:20.000 The far left is perfectly happy with violence.
00:03:22.000 They are perfectly happy with violence against the right.
00:03:25.000 Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan, and these are podcast hosts with the I've Had It podcast.
00:03:30.000 Apparently, there are some people who listen to this tripe.
00:03:33.000 Well, here they were cracking up at a comment about Charlie Kirk's death.
00:03:39.000 Dead Moreau says, We're digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.
00:03:43.000 you I'm zooming in to the box.
00:04:04.000 No comment. No comment. No comment on that.
00:04:09.000 Well, pretty evil people right there.
00:04:12.000 Well, the podcast posted an apology.
00:04:14.000 There are a bunch of sponsors who dropped that included Cash App, Jones Road Beauty, Ethos, Better Help, Bowl and Branch, Chewy, Zenny Optical, Lola Blankets, and a bunch of others.
00:04:21.000 But all of her fans.
00:04:24.000 All of her fans showed up to defend her.
00:04:27.000 So they gave an apology.
00:04:28.000 On Thursday's joke, we laughed at a joke about Charlie Kirk.
00:04:30.000 It was an insensitive joke and we should not have laughed.
00:04:32.000 We regret it and we apologize.
00:04:33.000 Whatever our political differences, there's nothing funny about gun violence.
00:04:36.000 We've long supported common sense gun safety reform.
00:04:38.000 Oh, that was the issue there.
00:04:40.000 It was the gun violence.
00:04:42.000 You don't want to be shown as supportive of gun violence.
00:04:44.000 Not the fact that you laughed at the murder of a political opponent, the fact that it might seem like you're okay with gun violence.
00:04:51.000 And so they made a donation to Every Town for Gun Safety, the largest gun violence prevention organization in America.
00:04:57.000 We'll keep using our platforms to fight for the safety of all Americans.
00:04:59.000 Again, the sin, according to the podcast, was not that they were laughing at Charlie Kirk's murder.
00:05:04.000 It was that they might have legitimized guns.
00:05:09.000 All their commenters, of course, were totally onside.
00:05:12.000 One commenter said, You don't need to apologize.
00:05:14.000 Charlie wouldn't have.
00:05:15.000 Another one said, Why are you showing empathy?
00:05:16.000 Charlie hated that.
00:05:17.000 Honor him with your disrespect.
00:05:20.000 Someone said, I don't think he heard it.
00:05:21.000 Again, these things have thousands or tens of thousands of likes on X, which is a trash machine.
00:05:21.000 You're good.
00:05:26.000 Now, again, it is not as though this is foreign to Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan.
00:05:31.000 Remember, these are the same people who brag how much they hate Trump and everyone who voted for Trump.
00:05:37.000 I have so much more hate to give towards him.
00:05:41.000 I've barely even tapped into it.
00:05:43.000 I would say, out of my potential of hating him 100%, I'm only 10 to 15% there.
00:05:49.000 I still have 85% more to realize in these next two terms.
00:05:54.000 Like, I feel invigorated.
00:05:56.000 Yeah, I feel like, my God, I can go, I'm going to go, here's 5% more hate here.
00:06:02.000 There's three more percent there.
00:06:03.000 And I can just go.
00:06:04.000 I mean, and this show is going to be full blown, nonstop hater aid, hater aid for the country, because there's going to be no kumbaya.
00:06:13.000 No, no. 0.99
00:06:14.000 I will hate this mother forever and ever and ever. 0.99
00:06:18.000 And everybody that voted for him. 0.99
00:06:21.000 And everybody who voted for him, not just Trump, everybody who voted for him.
00:06:23.000 Again, that is the underlying glue that is holding together a lot of the left wing coalition.
00:06:28.000 But hey, it's just the radicals.
00:06:30.000 You know, just like when Hassan Piker was campaigning with half the Democratic Party, he was just some podcaster from California.
00:06:36.000 And then, of course, they were campaigning with him, but, but you shouldn't notice that.
00:06:39.000 Not the fabled Democratic moderates.
00:06:40.000 They're not like this.
00:06:41.000 They're not like this.
00:06:42.000 You know, like Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania, he wants to run for president, the governor.
00:06:46.000 He put out a tweet over the weekend, quote, we're going to more than double Pennsylvania's minimum wage, codify abortion rights into our state constitution, fund mass transit, build more housing.
00:06:54.000 These are the common sense things Pennsylvanians want done.
00:06:57.000 With a Democratic trifecta, we'll deliver on all of them.
00:07:01.000 I mean, it's moderation or say the new Kansas Democratic Senator Adam Hamilton.
00:07:01.000 Wow.
00:07:06.000 I mean, it was a wipeout last week.
00:07:08.000 Saying that Medicare for all might not be the right thing.
00:07:11.000 These are the Democrats you can count on, probably.
00:07:16.000 I know health care is a top priority of yours.
00:07:19.000 Would you support those measures that he's pushing for?
00:07:24.000 I don't think Medicare for all is the right approach.
00:07:27.000 Even though it sounds great, I don't think it's going to pass.
00:07:29.000 You're talking about an entire health insurance industry with millions and millions of employees that is going to be affected by Medicare for all.
00:07:37.000 I think what we need to do is figure out how do we.
00:07:39.000 How do we ensure that everyone has access to affordable health care, no matter who they are?
00:07:43.000 But I think even using the term Medicare for all alienates a whole group of people that we need to be able to pass some kind of health care reform that allows everyone to have affordable health care.
00:07:53.000 So I would rather not use the term Medicare for all.
00:07:59.000 They're moderates, you see.
00:08:00.000 There are going to be so many new Democratic moderates who aren't entering the caucus.
00:08:04.000 After all, the new Democratic caucus is filled with amazing people like Howdy Judy Pastor James Tallarico.
00:08:08.000 In fact, he's the biggest celeb because he is the new senator from Texas.
00:08:13.000 And so he opened SNL.
00:08:15.000 And again, here he was being bipartisan and kindly and generous and clean cut.
00:08:23.000 I'm James Tallarico, the guy who's been.
00:08:32.000 The guy who's been texting you every day asking for $5.
00:08:36.000 In this economy, who can blame you?
00:08:39.000 But I think, Mr. President, if we can work together, we can make life better for everyday Americans.
00:08:44.000 It's clear people want something new, they want something different.
00:08:47.000 I'm talking, of course, about SNL's cold opens.
00:08:52.000 How many of these Trump freezers are they going to do?
00:08:54.000 Infinity.
00:08:57.000 So, again, there he is, just being kind and generous, except, well, you know who he was with to close out SNL?
00:08:57.000 Okay.
00:09:04.000 He was with Dave Chappelle.
00:09:07.000 You know, like I'm glad Charlie Cook was shot, Dave Chappelle.
00:09:10.000 Chris Rock was there as well.
00:09:12.000 Of course, Chris Rock is a person who said, you weren't allowed to tell jokes about Barack Obama because he was like your father.
00:09:17.000 And of course, Drewski, who is most famous over the course of the past year for doing.
00:09:21.000 An Erica Kirk skit mocking the widow of dead Charlie Kirk.
00:09:25.000 Remember this famous Drewski skit. 0.99
00:09:29.000 Get on your feet!
00:09:47.000 And here is James Tellerico alongside Chappelle Andrewski.
00:09:51.000 Don't worry, they're all moderate.
00:09:52.000 They're all wonderful.
00:09:53.000 They don't have anything in common with the crazies, not at all.
00:10:17.000 All the democratic activists all together all at once.
00:10:20.000 Isn't that nice?
00:10:22.000 So, I guess what I'm saying here is the moderation is an act.
00:10:25.000 The moderation is an act.
00:10:27.000 Erica Kirk put out a tweet saying, quote, to see leftist podcasters, comedians, and commentators laugh about political assassination as votes entertainment and the destruction of a human life as a punchline is beyond disgusting.
00:10:36.000 My husband, Charlie Kirk, was killed in an act of political violence, something our two children and I will live with every day for the rest of our lives.
00:10:42.000 A culture that laughs at assassination is one of profound moral decay.
00:10:45.000 It threatens the very foundation of our country and the principles that hold our democracy together.
00:10:49.000 You don't have to agree with someone's politics to recognize the value of their life.
00:10:51.000 This should not be so hard.
00:10:53.000 Political violence must never be something this country tolerates, excuses, or celebrates.
00:10:57.000 But again, we've noticed that people on all sides of the political aisle are willing to joke about this, particularly about Charlie Kirk, actually.
00:11:04.000 And his very personage, there are people on the right and the left who are willing to do this routine.
00:11:08.000 In other words, the moderation is an act.
00:11:10.000 It's an act.
00:11:12.000 And many of the people you know are lying to you are now doing that act.
00:11:15.000 Well, it seems like some of these Democrats are broken internally, and I'm not sure what can fix them.
00:11:19.000 But here's the thing there are things in your house that break all the time.
00:11:22.000 It happens to us all the time.
00:11:24.000 Is just something goes wrong.
00:11:25.000 The water heater goes, or a pipe burst, or the electrical system is taking the day off.
00:11:29.000 The AC goes down.
00:11:30.000 Well, your regular homeowner's insurance generally doesn't cover any of that everyday wear and tear kind of stuff.
00:11:35.000 And this is where HomeServe comes in.

00:12:37.000 So Zoram Amdani, who's a full scale member of the Democratic Socialists of America, is now appearing on Fox News with his new It's a Mario mustache to explain that actually he disagrees with all of the elements of the DSA policy proposals, all of them pretty much.
00:12:51.000 I believe him. 0.97
00:12:53.000 I don't believe him because I am not a stupid person. 0.98
00:12:58.000 I'm proud to be doing so as a mayor who's a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. 0.99
00:13:01.000 Okay, get rid of borders.
00:13:03.000 No.
00:13:03.000 Get rid of SCOTUS?
00:13:04.000 No.
00:13:05.000 Get rid of jails?
00:13:06.000 No.
00:13:07.000 So, do you think DSA is going to kick you out?
00:13:09.000 No.
00:13:12.000 You can tell, by the way, that he is lying whenever he is smiling.
00:13:14.000 That is the way that it works.
00:13:15.000 That is his tell.
00:13:16.000 He's a terrible poker player. 1.00
00:13:18.000 Again, you're a fool if you fall for this sort of stuff. 0.99
00:13:20.000 I mean, remember Abdul El Sayed, Abdul Rahman El Sayed, the new senator from Michigan? 1.00
00:13:24.000 Remember, he spent the entire campaign saying that if you mentioned his associations with radical Islam, it's because you were an Islamophobe.
00:13:30.000 And actually, all he wanted to do was talk about affordability, right?
00:13:34.000 He just wanted to talk about affordability.
00:13:35.000 There was nothing to worry about there.
00:13:37.000 At all.
00:13:38.000 If you focused at all on his radical Islamic beliefs, on his solidarity with terrorists, if you did that, that was because you were some sort of bigot.
00:13:46.000 Well, now he won.
00:13:47.000 And so now he can just come out and joke about all of it and basically just, he's out and proud about it.
00:13:52.000 Again, scratch the supposedly moderate Democrats or the affordability Democrats, and you find the radicals underneath.
00:13:58.000 Here's Abdurrahman El Sayed sitting with his bros at the Pod Save America podcast, including sellout John Lovett.
00:14:07.000 And we're just going to get to the bottom of a couple things.
00:14:10.000 Do you disavow?
00:14:11.000 Yeah.
00:14:13.000 I wasn't even going to do the joke.
00:14:13.000 I'm not.
00:14:20.000 Look, I have a brother.
00:14:21.000 He's Muslim.
00:14:23.000 And he and I have a Muslim brotherhood.
00:14:25.000 All right?
00:14:27.000 He's just because we're both Muslim and I'm a brother.
00:14:34.000 Oh.
00:14:34.000 How about your parents?
00:14:35.000 They're actually part of the Muslim brotherhood.
00:14:37.000 We're not supposed to, but you're not supposed to mention it.
00:14:40.000 Here is Abdurrahman El Sayed explaining that Michigan is the Arab capital of the United States on the night that he won.
00:14:47.000 And I'm honored to be the next United States Senator from the great state of Michigan.
00:14:53.000 Which, of course, I know we're here in D.C., which, of course, is the capital of the United States of America, but Michigan is the capital of Arab America.
00:15:08.000 And Sinead can say all of it.
00:15:10.000 All the things that you weren't supposed to say, and if you mentioned them, you were Islamophobic, now he can just say them out loud, almost as though he was lying.
00:15:17.000 I know it's a shock to all of us.
00:15:19.000 This is why, when you hear Democrats say they're going to be moderate, they're going to be responsible.
00:15:23.000 Wrong you are.
00:15:24.000 Get ready, folks.
00:15:25.000 When the pendulum swings, it really, really, really swings.
00:15:29.000 The Washington Post, of course, running cover for Abdurrahman El Sayed, they say that Islamophobia backfired in Michigan.
00:15:37.000 The Islamophobic rhetoric, deployed not only in ads, but spoken on the trail by President Trump, Vice President Vance, Senator Cruz, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Mike Rogers, backfired in a state with one of the country's largest Arab and Muslim populations.
00:15:49.000 Well, actually, we should point out at this point, That the Michigan Senate race between El Sayed and Rogers was significantly closer, like a lot closer than it was supposed to be.
00:16:00.000 The final results in that race is that he ended up winning by about seven.
00:16:04.000 Okay, but the polls were showing that he was supposed to win upwards of double digits.
00:16:07.000 So that ended up being a lot closer than it should have, mainly because it turns out a lot of Americans are not so into this.
00:16:13.000 Okay, so they're playing a risky game. 0.80
00:16:15.000 But again, El Sayed doesn't care.
00:16:16.000 He doesn't care.
00:16:16.000 His whole point was he was going to run as openly radical as possible to his base while lying to everybody else.
00:16:22.000 He has now launched the Habibi Pack. 0.78
00:16:25.000 Habibi in Arabic means my beloved.
00:16:27.000 I use it to talk about your kids very often.
00:16:29.000 Okay, so he has launched Habibi Pack. 0.96
00:16:34.000 It's the latest sign Al Sayed aims to influence democratic politics into the future. 0.93
00:16:38.000 Oh, isn't that nice? 0.99
00:16:39.000 So remember, don't talk about his Islamic background. 0.99
00:16:42.000 Only he can talk about his Islamic background.
00:16:44.000 Also, remember that time that he was saying that he didn't want to use aid to Israel was really making your bananas expensive?
00:16:50.000 That's really the problem.
00:16:51.000 It was aid to Israel that was everything.
00:16:54.000 Well, here he was over the weekend explaining that he believes in USAID, USAID's total spending.
00:16:59.000 Has hovered between roughly $20 billion and $42 billion between 2016 and 2025.
00:17:05.000 He is fine with that aid.
00:17:06.000 USAID, totally fine.
00:17:08.000 The aid to Israel is what made things expensive, according to Abdurrahman El Sayed.
00:17:13.000 So I don't think it's the money.
00:17:14.000 I think I sense an ulterior motive here, Senator.
00:17:19.000 I believe in USAID.
00:17:20.000 And I believe in USAID because if you can stop disease from spreading and get people food, it ends up solving problems for you, too.
00:17:28.000 Right.
00:17:29.000 But I do think we need to differentiate it from some of the more intel gathering pieces.
00:17:33.000 I think sometimes the way that we've thought about our agencies in the past have been more oriented to short-term goals than long-term trust.
00:17:41.000 And I hope that as we build into the future of the way that we want to do diplomacy in the long term, when we say we're giving you food, we're not also just doing intel.
00:17:48.000 We're just giving you food and healing illness.
00:17:50.000 And that's good for us, not just because it's about collecting intel.
00:17:53.000 It's good for us because it turns out that when people can get food in their own country, they don't have to rush to our borders.
00:17:58.000 It turns out that when you stop disease from spreading in a different country, it doesn't spread to your country.
00:18:03.000 These are net goods for us because solving problems where they are keeps them from coming to us.
00:18:09.000 But wait, Don, doesn't that make bananas more expensive?
00:18:10.000 Why aren't we spending money here at home for Medicare for all?
00:18:13.000 Oh, I noticed you're totally fine with USAID because it spreads to left wing social organizations abroad, including places like Hamas.
00:18:20.000 It turns out, according to the New York Post, that USAID gave a million dollars to a Hamas linked charity in the Gaza Strip.
00:18:27.000 In 2024, according to the DOJ, a Syrian national was charged with diverting some $9 million in USAID to a terrorist organization associated with Al Qaeda.
00:18:36.000 And in 2024, Stripes reported at least $293 million in USAID was unaccounted for in Afghanistan.
00:18:43.000 But he doesn't care about all that because we know why this is happening.
00:18:46.000 We know why all of this is happening.
00:18:48.000 We know what his real agenda is.
00:18:50.000 By the way, just understand the real left is very open about what they are doing.
00:18:56.000 The real left is incredibly open about what they're doing.
00:18:59.000 So, for example, brand new congressional elect, Chris Rabb from Pennsylvania.
00:19:07.000 Here he was explaining that the people closest to the pain should be closest to the power.
00:19:11.000 It's a full overturning of the American hierarchy.
00:19:18.000 We do this in movement.
00:19:20.000 We do this in community.
00:19:22.000 And we do it unapologetically.
00:19:25.000 Because we are leading when we have such feckless people in power.
00:19:34.000 This is the time in these dark hours where we become the light.
00:19:39.000 And we represent those people closest to the pain who should be closest to the power.
00:19:45.000 I am so honored to join all of you.
00:19:48.000 In aggressive fabulosity to do the people's work.
00:19:52.000 Well, you know, all this democratic radicalism might be making you feel a little sick.
00:19:55.000 Okay, but you don't need to be sick.
00:19:57.000 You're not actually sick.

00:20:56.000 It's pretty easy to announce the American dream is dead.
00:20:59.000 It's considerably harder to explain what's actually happening and why it's happening and what would actually make it better.
00:21:04.000 That requires more than a slogan.
00:21:05.000 It requires actual facts.
00:21:07.000 That's why I went head to head with left of center Scott Galloway in the first ever USA Facts debate focused on the American dream.
00:21:13.000 We debated whether capitalism is working or leaving too many people behind, whether more government is the answer or whether government is part of the problem.
00:21:21.000 And here's what made this debate different.
00:21:22.000 Each segment started with government data and facts from USA Facts.
00:21:26.000 Before we argued about the solutions, we had actual numbers to work from.
00:21:29.000 Now, having the same facts doesn't mean Scott and I suddenly agree, obviously, but it does mean you can see where the disagreement actually is.
00:21:35.000 Evaluate those arguments, decide for yourself who makes the stronger case.
00:21:38.000 You should come away from a debate knowing more than you did going in.
00:21:41.000 That's the whole point.
00:21:43.000 Watch the full debate now on the USA Facts YouTube channel.
00:21:46.000 And this is where the Democrats are going.
00:21:48.000 Representative Jamie Raskin.
00:21:49.000 He's out there saying that it's basically time to overturn the Supreme Court.
00:21:53.000 Because this Supreme Court has intervened to stop the counting of ballots in Bush versus Gore in 2000.
00:22:01.000 It has demolished the Voting Rights Act, the greatest statute of our history, which actually made it possible for millions and millions of people to participate effectively in the process.
00:22:13.000 And it is sided with Trump in almost every way in terms of trying to turn the clock back.
00:22:19.000 So the Supreme Court, alas, has become in many ways an obstacle to democracy.
00:22:24.000 We need to get democracy moving again.
00:22:28.000 Again, this is where Democrats are there, as radical as radical can be.
00:22:33.000 And it's all a mask, right?
00:22:34.000 The affordability thing was all a mask.
00:22:35.000 It always was.
00:22:36.000 You really think things are going to get more affordable with Elizabeth Warren in charge of the banking committee?
00:22:41.000 Really?
00:22:41.000 I mean, here is Senator Elizabeth Warren saying over the weekend that she wants to work with Trump to cap credit card interest rates.
00:22:48.000 By the way, you know what happens if you cap those credit card interest rates?
00:22:51.000 People just don't get credit cards.
00:22:52.000 That's all that happens.
00:22:54.000 The reason that the credit card interest rates are very, very high is to incentivize you to pay your credit card on time.
00:22:58.000 If you cap the interest rates, if you have bad credit, you just won't get a card.
00:23:01.000 It'll be that simple.
00:23:02.000 You'll end up going to a payday lender. 1.00
00:23:04.000 But Senator Elizabeth Warren is a demagogue.
00:23:07.000 So if you think all of this is geared toward making the economy stronger and more affordable, it's because you don't understand your basic econ.
00:23:15.000 What specific policies do you think you can work with him on?
00:23:20.000 Look, President Trump himself said that he wants to reduce interest rates on credit cards to 10%.
00:23:26.000 I got the bill.
00:23:27.000 I'm ready to go.
00:23:29.000 President Trump says he wants to do more on housing.
00:23:31.000 We're ready.
00:23:32.000 We have the bills ready to go.
00:23:34.000 And besides that, we got a whole bunch more.
00:23:37.000 That the American people have told us that they want on price gouging, on protecting our rural hospitals, on making sure that people have access to health care.
00:23:49.000 We have a lot of work lined out that we can do.
00:23:54.000 Okay, so again, all the stuff that she's talking about is very, very unlikely to make things more affordable.
00:23:59.000 And that is not what she cares about.
00:24:01.000 This is the game.
00:24:02.000 The game is we tell you it's about affordability, and then we do everything possible to make things more unaffordable because the thing we really care about is not that.
00:24:08.000 The real thing we care about is economic leveling.
00:24:11.000 The destruction of the free market system and foreign policy failure.
00:24:15.000 This is why Abdurrahman El Sayed is out there saying that he wants Medicare for all and he'll call it Trump care and we'll work together.
00:24:20.000 Sure, sure, buddy.
00:24:24.000 Look, I've never met the man.
00:24:26.000 He is the president of the United States.
00:24:28.000 I am the U.S. senator elect from the state of Michigan.
00:24:30.000 I am happy to meet with him, like I'll meet with anyone who can advance the goals I ran on to get money out of politics, put money in pockets, pass Medicare for all.
00:24:37.000 I've said this.
00:24:38.000 If he wants to pass Trump care for all, which will guarantee health care, To everyone and put his name on it like he's putting his name on everything.
00:24:44.000 I'm game.
00:24:45.000 Let's see if he wants to do that.
00:24:46.000 So I haven't had any outreach.
00:24:47.000 I'm happy to sit down with him to talk about how we can serve the Michiganders who just elected me.
00:24:53.000 Again, this is the game.
00:24:54.000 Okay, this is the game.
00:24:56.000 El Sayed and the rest of the Democratic Party say things like, we shouldn't spend money abroad, we should spend it at home, unless we're spending it on USAID, for example, to funnel money to places that despise the United States.
00:25:07.000 Abdurrahman El Sayed in 2011, go all the way back, accused.
00:25:12.000 Barack Obama of perpetrating the extrajudicial assassination of an American citizen. 0.57
00:25:18.000 That would have been Anwar al-Alikhi, who is an actual terrorist.
00:25:21.000 But he says, guns are butter.
00:25:23.000 Again, this is always the game for Democrats.
00:25:25.000 They pretend that the real reason that they want to make America weak abroad, that the goal of making America weak abroad is to spend the money at home.
00:25:33.000 That is not right.
00:25:35.000 That is not right.
00:25:36.000 The affordability talk is covered for the thing they actually want to do.
00:25:39.000 They are not motivated by economics.
00:25:42.000 To make us weak abroad.
00:25:42.000 They're motivated to make us weak abroad and they use economics as the excuse for all of this.
00:25:49.000 This is the goal, right?
00:25:51.000 Ben Rhodes was doing the same routine over the weekend again. 0.88
00:25:53.000 Ben Rhodes, I will never get over the fact that there was a man who literally worked for the Obama administration in a senior foreign policy position whose nickname was Hamas.
00:26:01.000 I don't, I'm not kidding.
00:26:02.000 The other Democrats called him Hamas because he was so pro Hamas. 0.92
00:26:06.000 Here is Hamas talking.
00:26:09.000 We cannot let JD Vance claim the anti war mantle. 0.99
00:26:15.000 Right.
00:26:15.000 Like this has to be the Democratic Party.
00:26:18.000 We let Trump do that.
00:26:19.000 Yeah.
00:26:19.000 The Democratic Party is the anti, we let Trump do it.
00:26:22.000 We let Trump do it three times.
00:26:24.000 The Democratic Party has to be the anti war party.
00:26:27.000 The Democratic Party has to be the party that is not going to get us into other wars. 0.52
00:26:31.000 The Democratic Party has to be the party that's going to dismantle the apparatus of the war on terror.
00:26:35.000 The Democratic Party has to be the party that's going to stop spending a trillion dollars on defense and stop bombing other people's children and start investing in our children.
00:26:46.000 Again, the goal there is not about investing in our kids.
00:26:49.000 He doesn't care about that.
00:26:50.000 What an amazing video you just watched.
00:26:52.000 Wasn't that amazing?

00:27:02.000 Father, I used to feel Christ.
00:27:06.000 I cannot feel anything here.
00:27:19.000 They take me out of my bed and they brought me here and they tell me nothing.
00:27:24.000 What have I done?
00:27:25.000 Article 58 counter-revolutionary activity.
00:27:29.000 That is all I know.
00:27:30.000 They have to deal with so many enemies of the state, all of whom claim their innocence, who protest, who cry.
00:27:45.000 There are no answers here other than the ones they put in your mouth.
00:27:51.000 You'll break.
00:27:53.000 Today is your opportunity to demonstrate your loyalty to the people.
00:28:01.000 I'd like to know why I'm here.
00:28:02.000 Of course.
00:28:06.000 But you're already now, don't you?
00:28:08.000 You must believe in something greater than the party.
00:28:12.000 If you will remember your duty, I've told you I know nothing.
00:28:16.000 Leave ground like a feral animal. 0.98
00:28:19.000 And you stink of failure. 0.99
00:28:21.000 You want me to lie? 1.00
00:28:23.000 Still a drunk. 1.00
00:28:24.000 Damn you! 1.00
00:28:27.000 They all break. 1.00
00:28:31.000 Maybe.
