The Democratic Party is now swiveling hard to the left in the naive hope that the commies over in the Democratic Socialists of America will finally accept them. It turns out, hating America is just one giant disinformation op to ease literal communists into power. Progressive billionaire mega-donors are still funding a lot of this shift. The likes of California Governor Gavin Newsom, Senators Chris Murphy, John Ossoff, and Cory Booker are also being cuckolded to the most America hating. At the end of the day, you ll be held hostage by a dude in the subway with a knife if you have nothing to defend yourself and if you insist that he stay in a subway car.

00:00:00 The Democratic Party is now swiveling hard to the left in the naive hope that the commies over in the Democratic Socialists of America will finally accept them. 0.51
00:00:08 It turns out hating America is just one giant disinformation op to ease literal communists into power.
00:00:13 Progressive billionaire mega donors are still funding a lot of this shift.
00:00:16 The likes of California Governor Gavin Newsom, Senators Chris Murphy, John Ossoff, and Cory Booker are also being cuckolded to the most America hating.
00:00:24 At the end of the day, you'll be held hostage by the dude in the subway with a knife if you have nothing with which to defend yourself and if you insist that he stay in the subway car.
00:00:31 And that's what all of these Democrats are doing right now.
00:00:33 For example, Mila Kirosh was asked about a Colorado attacker named Mohammed Sabri Soleiman.
00:00:40 You remember this case.
00:00:42 This is a person who used a makeshift flamethrower to attack a group of people participating in a solidarity walk for hostages taken on October 7th.
00:00:49 This person yelled, end Zionist, free Palestine, and how many children killed, and then threw a Molotov cocktail, essentially set an old woman on fire and killed her.
00:01:01 This person was an Egyptian national who claimed asylum and entered the United States.
00:01:05 So she was asked about the Colorado attacker.
00:01:07 Here was her answer.
00:01:10 I don't know what was in the heart of the perpetrator.
00:01:12 All I know is that he went and attacked innocent people because of what they might have believed.
00:01:17 And I don't even know what the people that were at that protest believed, too.
00:01:22 In fact, most of them were probably just there to ask that the people who were kidnapped during October 7th be returned home to their families.
00:01:31 That's not a political statement in and of itself.
00:01:34 I think the fact that we're having a conversation about whether it was anti Zionism or anti Semitism is.
00:01:39 You know, a political debate that, you know, I think everyone has the freedom to have, but to me it was a loss of innocent life, regardless of what the perpetrator had in mind when he took those lives, matters less to me than, you know, our responsibility to making sure that people understand that even in the face of these kinds of disagreements, violence is not the answer.
00:02:01 But you would not describe it as anti Semitism?
00:02:04 I don't know.
00:02:04 I don't know what his intentions were.
00:02:08 It's not anti Semitic to attack a Jew. 0.75
00:02:11 Marching on behalf of October 7th hostages, because that Jew might be pro Israel. 0.90
00:02:14 So that means it's okay, because anti Zionism is okay. 0.95
00:02:18 So the motivations were okay. 0.99
00:02:19 As long as you don't shout, kill the Jew, you just shout, kill the Zionist while you kill a Jew, then it's totally okay, according to Milaki Roche. 0.99
00:02:26 Well, then the mask falls totally away. 1.00
00:02:28 Okay. 0.99
00:02:29 There are some people still trying to uphold that mask, but it is very, very satisfying on a moral level when the mask fully falls away and you finally see what lies beneath this bullshit anti Zionist mask. 0.99
00:02:41 Okay. 0.78
00:02:42 When you see what lies beneath the ugly veil, Again, the roots of anti Zionism, particularly on the left in America, lie in Soviet propaganda in the 1950s and 1960s that was then taken up by the global left as basically an element of third world philosophy.
00:02:58 That Zionism was somehow different from any other national liberation movement, and that Zionism is racism and Zionism is apartheid, and basically every argument that you could actually apply against America, you just call Zionism and then you target Jews with it.
00:03:11 In any case, that's been the mask that people hide behind for a long time on this particular issue.
00:03:16 Because what you're talking about when you talk about anti-Zionism in the modern world, which is what she's talking about there, is the destruction of the state of Israel, which would have to amount to the murder of several million Jews in the Middle East.
00:03:26 In any case, sometimes the mask just totally falls away. 0.97
00:03:28 So I bring to you, I present to you the most satisfying case of the day.
00:03:32 There is an awful California legislator named Scott Weiner.
00:03:35 Scott Weiner has been in the California assembly for years and years and years and years, the California state senate. 0.91
00:03:40 This is the man who stood behind the decriminalization of people having sex with other people with AIDS without telling them.
00:03:49 This person tried to essentially decriminalize preying on minors. 1.00
00:03:56 He is trash. 1.00
00:03:56 Scott Wiener. 1.00
00:03:58 He's an awful person. 1.00
00:03:59 But, but Scott Wiener is also a Jew. 1.00
00:04:02 Okay. 0.95
00:04:04 So he meets all of the criteria of the left, all the criteria of the left.
00:04:09 Okay.
00:04:09 And, and for a little while, for a little while, he said that what happened in Gaza was not a genocide because, of course, what happened in Gaza was not, in fact, a genocide.
00:04:19 And the way you can tell it's not a genocide is for the million and a half people who are two million people who are alive in Gaza right now.
00:04:28 And we can get into the civilian to terrorist death ratio in Gaza or the targeting procedures used by the Israelis.
00:04:34 Suffice it to say, in the category of people who have been dropped directly on their heads are the people who pretend that what happened in Gaza is a genocide.
00:04:41 Well, Scott Wiener was pressured by the left.
00:04:43 And so Scott Wiener decided that he was going to give up the ghost back in January.
00:04:47 So in January, under pressure from the left, he decided that despite the fact that he was Jewish, he was going to pretend that what happened in Gaza was a genocide.
00:04:56 So here he was back in January.
00:04:59 Again. 1.00
00:05:00 You can run away from Jewishness, but your Jewishness will not run away from you, as it turns out. 0.94
00:05:04 Here is Scott Wiener. 0.91
00:05:06 I want to clarify that I do believe Israel has committed genocide in Gaza.
00:05:12 As a Jew, I am deeply aware that the word genocide was created in the wake of the Holocaust, which was the industrial extermination of six million Jews.
00:05:24 For many Jews, associating the word genocide with the Jewish state of Israel is deeply painful and, frankly, traumatic.
00:05:34 But despite that pain and that trauma, we all have eyes and we see the absolute devastation and catastrophic death toll in Gaza inflicted by the Israeli government. 0.99
00:05:50 Okay, so this pathetic and ridiculous coward, it turns out it wasn't enough. 0.99
00:05:54 It turns out that, as Winston Churchill suggested, the strategy of appeasement, whereby you feed the crocodile hoping it eats you last, eventually it eats you too. 0.99
00:06:01 So Scott Wiener shows up at the Trans March.
00:06:03 And again, Scott Wiener is the dude.
00:06:04 You've seen the picture of him before wearing bondage gear at the pride marches.
00:06:08 That's who Scott Weiner is.
00:06:09 Well, here he is at a trans march, and they basically yell at him.
00:06:13 Again, he said the thing they wanted, right?
00:06:14 He said that Israel is committing a genocide, which is a lie.
00:06:17 He said all this stuff.
00:06:19 But again, remember, it's not enough that the flag has trans on it.
00:06:23 It also has free Palestine on it. 0.97
00:06:25 And free Palestine means you have to hate Jews. 0.99
00:06:27 Okay, that's what it means. 0.91
00:06:28 And so, because you're not arguing in favor of the establishment of a democratic Palestinian state rife with Western freedoms and values. 0.95
00:06:36 What you are arguing for is the establishment of a terrorist state in the middle of the Middle East that targets Jews and literally pays people to murder them.
00:06:42 So, Scott Weiner does not fulfill one half, even though he tried to.
00:06:47 He tried his best.
00:06:48 Guys, he tried his best.
00:06:49 He tried super duper duper hard to fulfill all the various sides of the free Palestine Pride Progress flag. 1.00
00:06:55 He tried, but it didn't matter because at the end of the day, he's still a Jew. 0.97
00:06:59 So, here's what happened to him at the Trans March.
00:07:02 You've been wonderful for trans people. 1.00
00:07:05 You've been terrible. 1.00
00:07:07 And you've. 0.99
00:07:08 Terrible! 0.97
00:07:09 You've been terrible! 1.00
00:07:11 You've been terrible on Gaza!
00:07:13 You do not belong here anymore, Scott, and it breaks my heart!
00:07:18 It breaks my heart!
00:07:20 It breaks my heart! 1.00
00:07:22 Someone who wrote good legislation for queers is so terrible on Gaza! 1.00
00:07:32 It breaks his heart that somebody who is so pro the queers is also so terrible on Gaza. 1.00
00:07:37 Even though he said the words, it didn't matter. 0.99
00:07:39 It didn't matter.
00:07:40 He went to the Mission District, again, another one of these radically left wing areas of San Francisco.
00:07:47 And here he was being harassed by Free Palestine activists.
00:07:52 Hey, bro.
00:07:54 Hey, we.
00:07:55 You got to get the out of here, bro. 1.00
00:07:56 It's Free Palestine here. 1.00
00:07:57 You only know what it is.
00:07:58 We're against the genocide.
00:08:00 You think you're going to come to my neighborhood, bro?
00:08:02 You fed up.
00:08:04 It's going to be a problem.
00:08:04 You fed up.
00:08:05 There's innocent children being killed in Palestine. 0.89
00:08:08 You don't come here like this, but you're pushing that genocidal agenda as a Zionist, bro. 0.84
00:08:12 I'm not talking about you. 0.94
00:08:15 I'm talking about him. 1.00
00:08:16 This is the motherfucker that is the reason why a lot of people can't live in San Francisco no more. 0.99
00:08:19 When there were people voting to live in San Francisco for low income housing, you voted against it. 0.99
00:08:24 I know my. 0.99
00:08:27 This coward. 1.00
00:08:28 This coward. 1.00
00:08:29 He deserves every bit of this. 1.00
00:08:30 He deserves every single thing that's happening to him right now.
00:08:33 Folks, how many times have you just come up short on dinner?
00:08:36 You look in the fridge, there's nothing there.
00:08:37 And then you look around, you're like, I don't really feel like ordering out.
00:08:40 Well, check your freezer because if you have wild Alaskan, you can eat well tonight.
00:08:45 If the healthy option is also the easy option, you are much more likely to make the right choice.

00:09:41 Again, thanks to Wild Alaskan Company for sponsoring this episode.
00:09:45 Yes, we live in a free society and that means people should not be harassed, but you earn the harassment when you decide to give in to the harassers.
00:09:52 When you decide that you are going to cave to all of their nonsense, terrible principles, and then they come after you, when the revolution eats its own, I'm not going to pretend to be upset about it.
00:10:04 You deserve it.
00:10:05 Doesn't mean he deserves violence done against him.
00:10:08 It means that he deserves.
00:10:09 The ire of the people that he thought were his fellow travelers. 0.56
00:10:12 He put out a statement in which he said, Last night, I attended the trans march, as I've done each year for the past 22 years since the first march in 2004.
00:10:19 I attend each year in solidarity with our trans siblings who are facing existential threats from right wing extremists, including the president.
00:10:26 As I walk through Dolores Park to participate in a trans led pride Shabbat service.
00:10:31 Hey, let me just tell you something.
00:10:34 As somebody who takes Shabbat pretty seriously, no such thing as a trans led pride Shabbat service.
00:10:38 That is not a thing, that is not real.
00:10:40 In connection with the trans march, a group of people began screaming at me, ran up to me, surrounded me, and began harassing me both verbally and physically, including physical contact. 0.80
00:10:40 Okay. 0.80
00:10:49 They made statements about my Israeli handlers, among many other inaccurate, extreme, and vile statements.
00:10:53 They were so physically and verbally aggressive, it was impossible for me to safely remain in the park.
00:10:58 As a result, I left the park, and for the first time, I did not participate in the trans march.
00:11:03 He said that one time at a bar, he was confronted by somebody shouting at him about his quote unquote tainted bloodline.
00:11:12 Oh, well, single tier, world's smallest violin.
00:11:19 This is what's going to happen.
00:11:20 That revolution, it eats its own always and forever.
00:11:24 By the way, the DSA is now so radical, they started going after AOC.
00:11:28 AOC is not enough for them because she has been signaling that she wants to go mainstream or at least make common cause with Hakeem Jeffries, and that is no longer okay.
00:11:38 So here is Hassan Piker attacking AOC.
00:11:41 AOC is backing Jeffries for speaker. 1.00
00:11:44 She's as vile as Harris. 1.00
00:11:46 I don't agree that she's as vile as Harris. 0.98
00:11:47 I think that's crazy.
00:11:49 But I do think that she is far more careful than what this moment requires.
00:11:58 That's what I think.
00:11:59 I think AOC plays it maybe too safe.
00:12:04 Oh, she's playing too safe for Hassan Piker.
00:12:06 You got to go all the way.
00:12:07 Otherwise, you haven't shown sufficient commitment to the cause.
00:12:10 Cenk Wieger, who definitely needs, you know, somebody buy that man a subscription to Weight Watchers.
00:12:17 In any case, He put out a tweet, quote, AOC hasn't endorsed a challenger to an incumbent Democrat in the last two election cycles.
00:12:23 She is enthusiastically supporting Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker if Dems win the House.
00:12:27 When people were working so hard to get her elected, this is the exact opposite of what we were hoping for. 0.95
00:12:32 Man, I'm going to enjoy it when they come after the AOCs of the world. 1.00
00:12:35 It's going to be great.
00:12:36 Meanwhile, AOC is trying to make nice with both sides.
00:12:40 Well, don't think it's going to work particularly well.
00:12:44 Here she was.
00:12:48 You can't tell them to get out.
00:12:50 And then in a presidential cycle, tell them that they have an obligation to vote for you.
00:12:56 We're either a team or we're not.
00:12:58 And at the end of the day, we all need each other.
00:13:03 To our chagrin and to our disagreement and to our great inconvenience, all of us have to accept the reality that we need each other, whether we like it or not.
00:13:23 Well, the problem is that the radicals are saying we don't need you anymore, or at least we won't need you for very long.
00:13:29 What an amazing video you just watched.
00:13:31 Wasn't that amazing?
