00:00:00 Clearly, the momentum is with the ambulatory psychotics in the Democratic Party.
00:00:03 I'm not even talking about people who I just disagree with on policy.
00:00:07 That's a lot of Democrats.
00:00:07 I'm talking about people who just hate America, like really, really hate America.
00:00:11 And now they're getting elected to Congress.
00:00:14 We're going to run through the electoral upsets in the primaries yesterday in Colorado, as well as the odds of races in Texas, Maine, and of course, the horseshoe right Marjorie Taylor Greens of the world who think they're going to start a third party with some of their left wing friends.
00:00:26 In Colorado, a person named Malat Kiros won her primary against a 15 year congressperson.
00:00:34 Named Diana DeJet. 0.96
00:00:37 And this is wild because this person is crazy.
00:00:43 Milat Kiros was born in 1997 in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, which again is the same.
00:00:50 She's a 15 term congressman, not a 15 year congresswoman, DeJet. 0.80
00:00:54 She moved with her family to Colorado as an infant and was raised in the Denver area and has taken every possible insane position it is possible to take. 1.00
00:01:09 So she was actually fired from a major law firm called Sidley Austin for her support of Hamas, essentially.
00:01:15 This is a person who you will recall said the 9 11 attacks were inevitable.
00:01:21 Here she was, again, it's just a few weeks ago.
00:01:23 I mean, this is like June 22nd.
00:01:28 Do you believe that the 9 11 terrorist attacks on America were the inevitable consequence of American foreign policy? 0.65
00:01:36 I believe that. 0.62
00:01:39 The quote in which that is probably being referenced by, in the context in which it was happening, was referencing a Pentagon official who was talking about the acts that America was taking in parts of the Middle East.
00:01:53 I want to clarify, I'm just asking you about your own words. 0.70
00:01:56 Your frame of the October 7th attacks was that that was an inevitable consequence for Israel based on its actions. 0.58
00:02:02 And I'm asking you, was 9 11 an inevitable consequence for America based on U.S. foreign policy? 0.61
00:02:09 Inevitable in the sense that we.
00:02:13 Destabilized a lot of the Middle East that forced people to believe that another act of violence was the only response.
00:02:20 And again, just like I said before, our responsibility is to getting rid of those conditions that lead to violence in the first place.
00:02:27 I want to take a quick look at Milat Hirosh's Watch Party in Denver.
00:02:32 I just want to point out at this point, there's a lot of white people underscoring the fact that when it comes to the Democratic Socialists, it's usually middle to upper class white people who are leading the way in solidarity with their supposedly impoverished. 0.88
00:02:46 Dispossessed brothers and sisters. 0.95
00:02:47 Take a look at this Milat Kirosh party over in Colorado. 1.00
00:02:58 Seeing a lot of white people.
00:03:00 That is a lot of geeky white people in Colorado loving their socialism. 0.58
00:03:06 So exciting stuff happening there. 0.77
00:03:07 And why not?
00:03:08 Why not?
00:03:09 After all, she mirrors every single terrible policy prescription of the left, every single one, with that exception.
00:03:15 And just a reminder here she was with.
00:03:18 Again, a person who truly despises the country, Hassan Piker, who has somehow become a thought leader in the Democratic Party.
00:03:24 It's Bernie Sanders in the Democratic Party for the old, who honeymooned in the USSR.
00:03:29 And Hassan Piker, who has yet to spot an anti American dictatorship he doesn't love or terrorist group he isn't willing to express solidarity with.
00:03:38 These folks are leading the Democratic Party.
00:03:39 Now, here he was running through the platform with Milad Kiroch, who is now likely to go to Congress.
00:03:46 What are your five main policy proposals?
00:03:49 Medicare for all, housing first, universal child care, abolishing ICE.
00:03:54 And more than anything, the thing that I'm the most focused on is publicly financed elections.
00:03:59 Okay.
00:04:00 Wow.
00:04:00 That's cool.
00:04:01 All right.
00:04:01 Now we're going to do rapid fire.
00:04:03 Okay.
00:04:04 Do you support Medicare for all?
00:04:06 Yes.
00:04:07 Do you support universal child care?
00:04:08 Yes.
00:04:09 And elder care?
00:04:10 And elder care?
00:04:11 Mm hmm.
00:04:12 Okay. 1.00
00:04:13 You know, I'm not in favor of giving boomers anything, but that's fine. 0.99
00:04:18 You know, that's the difference between you and I, I guess. 1.00
00:04:20 Time has been not for boomers. 0.91
00:04:23 The abolition of ICE? 1.00
00:04:24 Yes.
00:04:25 The Green New Deal?
00:04:26 Yes.
00:04:27 National rent control?
00:04:28 Yes.
00:04:29 Interesting.
00:04:30 Ending the embargo on Cuba.
00:04:31 Yes.
00:04:32 Ending the embargo on ending the war in Iran.
00:04:36 Yes.
00:04:37 Ending aid to Israel. 0.58
00:04:38 Sanctioning Israel.
00:04:38 Yes.
00:04:39 Yes.
00:04:43 Well, you know, she is, she's a delight.
00:04:46 By the way, she is totally fine with people losing jobs en masse in Colorado.
00:04:50 She is fine with Colorado losing Lockheed Martin, which is about 15,000 jobs in Colorado because she wants to end, you know, the companies that actually provide us our military wherewithal. 1.00
00:04:59 Because again, she hates America. 1.00
00:05:01 That's the bottom line.
00:05:02 All these DSA folks, they are not just kind of Democrats who are a little further to the left on tax policy.
00:05:07 They despise the country.
00:05:09 They really, really, really don't like the country, like at all.
00:05:12 In a second, we'll get to the history of American immigration policy and where it all broke down, where it all fell apart. 0.78
00:05:18 But here is the thing you need great cell phone service that doesn't fall apart on you.
00:05:22 You know, cell phone service that actually has a great tower network and has great customer service and all the rest.
00:05:27 And only one wireless company in America.

00:06:23 According to Politico, progressive candidate Manny Rutinel was overwhelmingly picked by Colorado Democrats over his more moderate opponent Shannon Byrd to run in one of the most purple swing districts in America.
00:06:33 It is Colorado's eighth congressional district held by Republican Representative Gabe Evans.
00:06:37 Also, Michael Bennett, who's a senator from Colorado, was running for governor, and he lost his primary to, again, another radical named Phil Weiser, who is the current attorney general in Colorado.
00:06:47 So clearly the momentum is with the ambulatory psychotics in the Democratic Party.
00:06:53 And we'll see how it works out for them.
00:06:56 Now, right now, again, it is possible that bad candidates could do to Democrats what bad candidates did to Republicans back in 2021 in a series of Senate races, in 2021, 2022, where Republicans picked sort of the most radical candidates in a series of primaries and then lost elections in states they should have won.
00:07:12 That could easily happen here.
00:07:14 James Tallarico is currently running head and head with Ken Paxton.
00:07:19 They're basically neck and neck at this point.
00:07:22 47% for each, according to the New York Times Siena poll.
00:07:25 Again, the trend lines for Republicans are bad, but is Tallarico going to pull out a victory in Texas?
00:07:30 I find that hard to believe.
00:07:31 Graham Plattner, Nazi tattoo guy in Maine, currently has a 2% advantage, which is margin of error, in the New York Times poll over Susan Collins.
00:07:42 What's interesting about that is that.
00:07:44 The electorate there, which has Collins down by two, that same electorate said that they voted by 11 for Kamala Harris.
00:07:52 So Platner is wildly underrunning these sort of Democrats here.
00:07:57 And again, Republicans have a lot more money in the bank right now.
00:08:00 The RNC currently has $125 million in the bank.
00:08:03 The DNC has negative $3.5 million.
00:08:08 The NRCC has an advantage.
00:08:10 The NRSC has an advantage.
00:08:13 Yesterday, the president announced a September GOP midterm convention in Dallas.
00:08:18 So, again, this is a thing that the president has started before sort of having a midterm convention so he can try and generate some coattails.
00:08:25 He says, big news for the first time ever, the Republican Party will hold a midterm convention.
00:08:28 It will be held in Dallas, Texas.
00:08:30 One of my favorite places in the world.
00:08:31 It will be fantastic.
00:08:32 It has never been done before.
00:08:33 It will be a truly historic event.
00:08:35 We are going to celebrate the great American comeback and the incredible successes of the American people who transformed our country through the America First agenda, et cetera, et cetera.
00:08:45 Now, meanwhile, while the president tries to run Republicans to victory, precisely who you would think is trying to undermine all of that, including Marjorie Taylor Greene, who explains that she is trying to start her own party now, on with the Jerry Springer of Internet TV, Piers Morgan.
00:09:02 There is a group of us that have literally fought the system.
00:09:08 And I think there's a group of us that, if we decide to align, we could launch a true America focused party that doesn't fall into the traps of Democrats and Republicans, but could align some serious players from the right and the left and move forward.
00:09:29 But, Piers, I'm also very realistic because I was in the system, I've served in Congress.
00:09:35 I've run campaigns.
00:09:36 I know what it takes.
00:09:38 It's difficult to launch a third party.
00:09:40 So the reality is, this isn't something that gets off the ground in just a couple of campaign cycles.
00:09:46 This is a movement that has to be developed and would take time to develop.
00:09:54 So again, there are people who are trying to break the Republican Party right now, and you can see who they are.
00:09:58 You can see who they are.
00:10:00 They're the Splinter Faction.
00:10:01 What an amazing video you just watched.
