00:00:00.000 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.
00:00:08.000 It turns out hating America is just one giant disinformation op to ease literal communists into power.
00:00:13.000 Progressive billionaire mega donors are still funding a lot of this shift.
00:00:16.000 The likes of California Governor Gavin Newsom, Senators Chris Murphy, John Ossoff, and Cory Booker are also being cuckolded to the most America hating.
00:00:24.000 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.
00:00:31.000 And that's what all of these Democrats are doing right now.
00:00:33.000 For example, Mila Kirosh was asked about a Colorado attacker named Mohammed Sabri Soleiman.
00:00:40.000 You remember this case.
00:00:42.000 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.
00:00:49.000 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.
00:01:01.000 This person was an Egyptian national who claimed asylum and entered the United States.
00:01:05.000 So she was asked about the Colorado attacker.
00:01:07.000 Here was her answer.
00:01:10.000 I don't know what was in the heart of the perpetrator.
00:01:12.000 All I know is that he went and attacked innocent people because of what they might have believed.
00:01:17.000 And I don't even know what the people that were at that protest believed, too.
00:01:22.000 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.
00:01:31.000 That's not a political statement in and of itself.
00:01:34.000 I think the fact that we're having a conversation about whether it was anti Zionism or anti Semitism is.
00:01:39.000 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.
00:02:01.000 But you would not describe it as anti Semitism?
00:02:04.000 I don't know.
00:02:04.000 I don't know what his intentions were.
00:02:08.000 It's not anti Semitic to attack a Jew.
00:02:11.000 Marching on behalf of October 7th hostages, because that Jew might be pro Israel.
00:02:14.000 So that means it's okay, because anti Zionism is okay.
00:02:18.000 So the motivations were okay.
00:02:19.000 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.
00:02:26.000 Well, then the mask falls totally away.
00:02:28.000 Okay.
00:02:29.000 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.
00:02:41.000 Okay.
00:02:42.000 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.
00:02:58.000 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.
00:03:11.000 In any case, that's been the mask that people hide behind for a long time on this particular issue.
00:03:16.000 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.
00:03:26.000 In any case, sometimes the mask just totally falls away.
00:03:28.000 So I bring to you, I present to you the most satisfying case of the day.
00:03:32.000 There is an awful California legislator named Scott Weiner.
00:03:35.000 Scott Weiner has been in the California assembly for years and years and years and years, the California state senate.
00:03:40.000 This is the man who stood behind the decriminalization of people having sex with other people with AIDS without telling them.
00:03:49.000 This person tried to essentially decriminalize preying on minors.
00:03:56.000 He is trash.
00:03:56.000 Scott Wiener.
00:03:58.000 He's an awful person.
00:03:59.000 But, but Scott Wiener is also a Jew.
00:04:02.000 Okay.
00:04:04.000 So he meets all of the criteria of the left, all the criteria of the left.
00:04:09.000 Okay.
00:04:09.000 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.
00:04:19.000 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.
00:04:28.000 And we can get into the civilian to terrorist death ratio in Gaza or the targeting procedures used by the Israelis.
00:04:34.000 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.
00:04:41.000 Well, Scott Wiener was pressured by the left.
00:04:43.000 And so Scott Wiener decided that he was going to give up the ghost back in January.
00:04:47.000 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.
00:04:56.000 So here he was back in January.
00:04:59.000 Again.
00:05:00.000 You can run away from Jewishness, but your Jewishness will not run away from you, as it turns out.
00:05:04.000 Here is Scott Wiener.
00:05:06.000 I want to clarify that I do believe Israel has committed genocide in Gaza.
00:05:12.000 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.
00:05:24.000 For many Jews, associating the word genocide with the Jewish state of Israel is deeply painful and, frankly, traumatic.
00:05:34.000 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.
00:05:50.000 Okay, so this pathetic and ridiculous coward, it turns out it wasn't enough.
00:05:54.000 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.
00:06:01.000 So Scott Wiener shows up at the Trans March.
00:06:03.000 And again, Scott Wiener is the dude.
00:06:04.000 You've seen the picture of him before wearing bondage gear at the pride marches.
00:06:08.000 That's who Scott Weiner is.
00:06:09.000 Well, here he is at a trans march, and they basically yell at him.
00:06:13.000 Again, he said the thing they wanted, right?
00:06:14.000 He said that Israel is committing a genocide, which is a lie.
00:06:17.000 He said all this stuff.
00:06:19.000 But again, remember, it's not enough that the flag has trans on it.
00:06:23.000 It also has free Palestine on it.
00:06:25.000 And free Palestine means you have to hate Jews.
00:06:27.000 Okay, that's what it means.
00:06:28.000 And so, because you're not arguing in favor of the establishment of a democratic Palestinian state rife with Western freedoms and values.
00:06:36.000 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.
00:06:42.000 So, Scott Weiner does not fulfill one half, even though he tried to.
00:06:47.000 He tried his best.
00:06:48.000 Guys, he tried his best.
00:06:49.000 He tried super duper duper hard to fulfill all the various sides of the free Palestine Pride Progress flag.
00:06:55.000 He tried, but it didn't matter because at the end of the day, he's still a Jew.
00:06:59.000 So, here's what happened to him at the Trans March.
00:07:02.000 You've been wonderful for trans people.
00:07:05.000 You've been terrible.
00:07:07.000 And you've.
00:07:08.000 Terrible!
00:07:09.000 You've been terrible!
00:07:11.000 You've been terrible on Gaza!
00:07:13.000 You do not belong here anymore, Scott, and it breaks my heart!
00:07:18.000 It breaks my heart!
00:07:20.000 It breaks my heart!
00:07:22.000 Someone who wrote good legislation for queers is so terrible on Gaza!
00:07:32.000 It breaks his heart that somebody who is so pro the queers is also so terrible on Gaza.
00:07:37.000 Even though he said the words, it didn't matter.
00:07:39.000 It didn't matter.
00:07:40.000 He went to the Mission District, again, another one of these radically left wing areas of San Francisco.
00:07:47.000 And here he was being harassed by Free Palestine activists.
00:07:52.000 Hey, bro.
00:07:54.000 Hey, we.
00:07:55.000 You got to get the out of here, bro.
00:07:56.000 It's Free Palestine here.
00:07:57.000 You only know what it is.
00:07:58.000 We're against the genocide.
00:08:00.000 You think you're going to come to my neighborhood, bro?
00:08:02.000 You fed up.
00:08:04.000 It's going to be a problem.
00:08:04.000 You fed up.
00:08:05.000 There's innocent children being killed in Palestine.
00:08:08.000 You don't come here like this, but you're pushing that genocidal agenda as a Zionist, bro.
00:08:12.000 I'm not talking about you.
00:08:15.000 I'm talking about him.
00:08:16.000 This is the motherfucker that is the reason why a lot of people can't live in San Francisco no more.
00:08:19.000 When there were people voting to live in San Francisco for low income housing, you voted against it.
00:08:24.000 I know my.
00:08:27.000 This coward.
00:08:28.000 This coward.
00:08:29.000 He deserves every bit of this.
00:08:30.000 He deserves every single thing that's happening to him right now.
00:08:33.000 Folks, how many times have you just come up short on dinner?
00:08:36.000 You look in the fridge, there's nothing there.
00:08:37.000 And then you look around, you're like, I don't really feel like ordering out.
00:08:40.000 Well, check your freezer because if you have wild Alaskan, you can eat well tonight.
00:08:45.000 If the healthy option is also the easy option, you are much more likely to make the right choice.

00:09:41.000 Again, thanks to Wild Alaskan Company for sponsoring this episode.
00:09:45.000 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.
00:09:52.000 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.
00:10:04.000 You deserve it.
00:10:05.000 Doesn't mean he deserves violence done against him.
00:10:08.000 It means that he deserves.
00:10:09.000 The ire of the people that he thought were his fellow travelers.
00:10:12.000 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.
00:10:19.000 I attend each year in solidarity with our trans siblings who are facing existential threats from right wing extremists, including the president.
00:10:26.000 As I walk through Dolores Park to participate in a trans led pride Shabbat service.
00:10:31.000 Hey, let me just tell you something.
00:10:34.000 As somebody who takes Shabbat pretty seriously, no such thing as a trans led pride Shabbat service.
00:10:38.000 That is not a thing, that is not real.
00:10:40.000 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.
00:10:40.000 Okay.
00:10:49.000 They made statements about my Israeli handlers, among many other inaccurate, extreme, and vile statements.
00:10:53.000 They were so physically and verbally aggressive, it was impossible for me to safely remain in the park.
00:10:58.000 As a result, I left the park, and for the first time, I did not participate in the trans march.
00:11:03.000 He said that one time at a bar, he was confronted by somebody shouting at him about his quote unquote tainted bloodline.
00:11:12.000 Oh, well, single tier, world's smallest violin.
00:11:19.000 This is what's going to happen.
00:11:20.000 That revolution, it eats its own always and forever.
00:11:24.000 By the way, the DSA is now so radical, they started going after AOC.
00:11:28.000 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.
00:11:38.000 So here is Hassan Piker attacking AOC.
00:11:41.000 AOC is backing Jeffries for speaker.
00:11:44.000 She's as vile as Harris.
00:11:46.000 I don't agree that she's as vile as Harris.
00:11:47.000 I think that's crazy.
00:11:49.000 But I do think that she is far more careful than what this moment requires.
00:11:58.000 That's what I think.
00:11:59.000 I think AOC plays it maybe too safe.
00:12:04.000 Oh, she's playing too safe for Hassan Piker.
00:12:06.000 You got to go all the way.
00:12:07.000 Otherwise, you haven't shown sufficient commitment to the cause.
00:12:10.000 Cenk Wieger, who definitely needs, you know, somebody buy that man a subscription to Weight Watchers.
00:12:17.000 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.
00:12:23.000 She is enthusiastically supporting Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker if Dems win the House.
00:12:27.000 When people were working so hard to get her elected, this is the exact opposite of what we were hoping for.
00:12:32.000 Man, I'm going to enjoy it when they come after the AOCs of the world.
00:12:35.000 It's going to be great.
00:12:36.000 Meanwhile, AOC is trying to make nice with both sides.
00:12:40.000 Well, don't think it's going to work particularly well.
00:12:44.000 Here she was.
00:12:48.000 You can't tell them to get out.
00:12:50.000 And then in a presidential cycle, tell them that they have an obligation to vote for you.
00:12:56.000 We're either a team or we're not.
00:12:58.000 And at the end of the day, we all need each other.
00:13:03.000 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.
00:13:23.000 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.
00:13:29.000 What an amazing video you just watched.
00:13:31.000 Wasn't that amazing?
