00:00:00.000 Clearly, the momentum is with the ambulatory psychotics in the Democratic Party.
00:00:03.000 I'm not even talking about people who I just disagree with on policy.
00:00:07.000 That's a lot of Democrats.
00:00:07.000 I'm talking about people who just hate America, like really, really hate America.
00:00:11.000 And now they're getting elected to Congress.
00:00:14.000 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.
00:00:26.000 In Colorado, a person named Malat Kiros won her primary against a 15 year congressperson.
00:00:34.000 Named Diana DeJet. 0.96
00:00:37.000 And this is wild because this person is crazy.
00:00:43.000 Milat Kiros was born in 1997 in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, which again is the same.
00:00:50.000 She's a 15 term congressman, not a 15 year congresswoman, DeJet. 0.80
00:00:54.000 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
00:01:09.000 So she was actually fired from a major law firm called Sidley Austin for her support of Hamas, essentially.
00:01:15.000 This is a person who you will recall said the 9 11 attacks were inevitable.
00:01:21.000 Here she was, again, it's just a few weeks ago.
00:01:23.000 I mean, this is like June 22nd.
00:01:28.000 Do you believe that the 9 11 terrorist attacks on America were the inevitable consequence of American foreign policy? 0.65
00:01:36.000 I believe that. 0.62
00:01:39.000 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.
00:01:53.000 I want to clarify, I'm just asking you about your own words. 0.70
00:01:56.000 Your frame of the October 7th attacks was that that was an inevitable consequence for Israel based on its actions. 0.58
00:02:02.000 And I'm asking you, was 9 11 an inevitable consequence for America based on U.S. foreign policy? 0.61
00:02:09.000 Inevitable in the sense that we.
00:02:13.000 Destabilized a lot of the Middle East that forced people to believe that another act of violence was the only response.
00:02:20.000 And again, just like I said before, our responsibility is to getting rid of those conditions that lead to violence in the first place.
00:02:27.000 I want to take a quick look at Milat Hirosh's Watch Party in Denver.
00:02:32.000 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
00:02:46.000 Dispossessed brothers and sisters. 0.95
00:02:47.000 Take a look at this Milat Kirosh party over in Colorado. 1.00
00:02:58.000 Seeing a lot of white people.
00:03:00.000 That is a lot of geeky white people in Colorado loving their socialism. 0.58
00:03:06.000 So exciting stuff happening there. 0.77
00:03:07.000 And why not?
00:03:08.000 Why not?
00:03:09.000 After all, she mirrors every single terrible policy prescription of the left, every single one, with that exception.
00:03:15.000 And just a reminder here she was with.
00:03:18.000 Again, a person who truly despises the country, Hassan Piker, who has somehow become a thought leader in the Democratic Party.
00:03:24.000 It's Bernie Sanders in the Democratic Party for the old, who honeymooned in the USSR.
00:03:29.000 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.
00:03:38.000 These folks are leading the Democratic Party.
00:03:39.000 Now, here he was running through the platform with Milad Kiroch, who is now likely to go to Congress.
00:03:46.000 What are your five main policy proposals?
00:03:49.000 Medicare for all, housing first, universal child care, abolishing ICE.
00:03:54.000 And more than anything, the thing that I'm the most focused on is publicly financed elections.
00:03:59.000 Okay.
00:04:00.000 Wow.
00:04:00.000 That's cool.
00:04:01.000 All right.
00:04:01.000 Now we're going to do rapid fire.
00:04:03.000 Okay.
00:04:04.000 Do you support Medicare for all?
00:04:06.000 Yes.
00:04:07.000 Do you support universal child care?
00:04:08.000 Yes.
00:04:09.000 And elder care?
00:04:10.000 And elder care?
00:04:11.000 Mm hmm.
00:04:12.000 Okay. 1.00
00:04:13.000 You know, I'm not in favor of giving boomers anything, but that's fine. 0.99
00:04:18.000 You know, that's the difference between you and I, I guess. 1.00
00:04:20.000 Time has been not for boomers. 0.91
00:04:23.000 The abolition of ICE? 1.00
00:04:24.000 Yes.
00:04:25.000 The Green New Deal?
00:04:26.000 Yes.
00:04:27.000 National rent control?
00:04:28.000 Yes.
00:04:29.000 Interesting.
00:04:30.000 Ending the embargo on Cuba.
00:04:31.000 Yes.
00:04:32.000 Ending the embargo on ending the war in Iran.
00:04:36.000 Yes.
00:04:37.000 Ending aid to Israel. 0.58
00:04:38.000 Sanctioning Israel.
00:04:38.000 Yes.
00:04:39.000 Yes.
00:04:43.000 Well, you know, she is, she's a delight.
00:04:46.000 By the way, she is totally fine with people losing jobs en masse in Colorado.
00:04:50.000 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
00:04:59.000 Because again, she hates America. 1.00
00:05:01.000 That's the bottom line.
00:05:02.000 All these DSA folks, they are not just kind of Democrats who are a little further to the left on tax policy.
00:05:07.000 They despise the country.
00:05:09.000 They really, really, really don't like the country, like at all.
00:05:12.000 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
00:05:18.000 But here is the thing you need great cell phone service that doesn't fall apart on you.
00:05:22.000 You know, cell phone service that actually has a great tower network and has great customer service and all the rest.
00:05:27.000 And only one wireless company in America.
00:05:30.000 Earn five out of five stars in every single category.

00:06:23.000 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.
00:06:33.000 It is Colorado's eighth congressional district held by Republican Representative Gabe Evans.
00:06:37.000 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.
00:06:47.000 So clearly the momentum is with the ambulatory psychotics in the Democratic Party.
00:06:53.000 And we'll see how it works out for them.
00:06:56.000 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.
00:07:12.000 That could easily happen here.
00:07:14.000 James Tallarico is currently running head and head with Ken Paxton.
00:07:19.000 They're basically neck and neck at this point.
00:07:22.000 47% for each, according to the New York Times Siena poll.
00:07:25.000 Again, the trend lines for Republicans are bad, but is Tallarico going to pull out a victory in Texas?
00:07:30.000 I find that hard to believe.
00:07:31.000 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.
00:07:42.000 What's interesting about that is that.
00:07:44.000 The electorate there, which has Collins down by two, that same electorate said that they voted by 11 for Kamala Harris.
00:07:52.000 So Platner is wildly underrunning these sort of Democrats here.
00:07:57.000 And again, Republicans have a lot more money in the bank right now.
00:08:00.000 The RNC currently has $125 million in the bank.
00:08:03.000 The DNC has negative $3.5 million.
00:08:08.000 The NRCC has an advantage.
00:08:10.000 The NRSC has an advantage.
00:08:13.000 Yesterday, the president announced a September GOP midterm convention in Dallas.
00:08:18.000 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.
00:08:25.000 He says, big news for the first time ever, the Republican Party will hold a midterm convention.
00:08:28.000 It will be held in Dallas, Texas.
00:08:30.000 One of my favorite places in the world.
00:08:31.000 It will be fantastic.
00:08:32.000 It has never been done before.
00:08:33.000 It will be a truly historic event.
00:08:35.000 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.
00:08:45.000 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.
00:09:02.000 There is a group of us that have literally fought the system.
00:09:08.000 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.
00:09:29.000 But, Piers, I'm also very realistic because I was in the system, I've served in Congress.
00:09:35.000 I've run campaigns.
00:09:36.000 I know what it takes.
00:09:38.000 It's difficult to launch a third party.
00:09:40.000 So the reality is, this isn't something that gets off the ground in just a couple of campaign cycles.
00:09:46.000 This is a movement that has to be developed and would take time to develop.
00:09:54.000 So again, there are people who are trying to break the Republican Party right now, and you can see who they are.
00:09:58.000 You can see who they are.
00:10:00.000 They're the Splinter Faction.
00:10:01.000 What an amazing video you just watched.
00:10:03.000 Wasn't that amazing?
