00:00:00.000 We are approaching 25 years after 9 11.
00:00:03.000 New York is now led by people who would have sided with the terrorists.
00:00:06.000 The mayor of New York City, Zar Mamdani, thinks the real victims of 9 11 were his auntie, who had to experience evil American Islamophobia, and also millions of Muslims globally, who are the true victims of American foreign policy.
00:00:18.000 The governor of New York is a suicidally empathetic white lady who dons hijab in honor of Islam.
00:00:24.000 This is apparently New York's electorate now.
00:00:26.000 This is the Ben Shapiro Show.
00:00:34.000 Now, time is quite the thing.
00:00:36.000 It's kind of amazing to think about the fact that 9 11 is now 25 years ago.
00:00:40.000 An entire generation of humans was not born when 9 11 happened.
00:00:44.000 And in that forgetfulness, we tend to imbibe from the well of stupidity and suicidal ideation.
00:00:50.000 So, Kathy Hochul had herself a weekend.
00:00:53.000 Over the weekend, she did a couple of things.
00:00:55.000 Well, first, she brought dance back to New York City with Kevin Bacon.
00:00:58.000 So, Kathy Hochul is the New York governor who inherited her position when Andrew Cuomo killed all the old people and grabbed a bunch of ass.
00:01:05.000 And now she is the governor of New York.
00:01:07.000 And she has been relegated to getting rid of regulations in New York that apparently ban dancing.
00:01:13.000 And she brought Kevin Bacon along to explain how.
00:01:18.000 New York, did you know that for years dancing was banned in many bars and nightclubs?
00:01:23.000 Banned?
00:01:24.000 You mean it was illegal to dance?
00:01:28.000 That's right, Kevin Bacon.
00:01:29.000 If I was to come into this club and wanted to say salsa?
00:01:33.000 Nada.
00:01:34.000 Macarena?
00:01:35.000 Maca nono.
00:01:36.000 Whip?
00:01:37.000 The state used to demand you get a license to allow dancing.
00:01:37.000 Nene.
00:01:40.000 Toss that rule out.
00:01:40.000 But we.
00:01:42.000 What do you say to that, Kevin?
00:01:43.000 I say, let's dance.
00:01:49.000 We couldn't afford the rights to the original Footloose music, so whatever.
00:01:57.000 I mean, they couldn't afford the rights to the original Footloose music because the state of New York is essentially bankrupt at this point.
00:02:02.000 Okay, why do I bring up Kathy Hochul and the bringing back of the dance?
00:02:05.000 Because Kathy Hochul, you know, she is a hardcore feminist, she's standing for the ladies.
00:02:11.000 She's standing against the patriarchy that would strip women of their rights.
00:02:15.000 She's bringing dance back to New York City back in 2021.
00:02:19.000 You may recall that she gave a speech in Albany in which she talked about how we need to get abortion bans off of women's bodies.
00:02:27.000 Women's bodies need to be free.
00:02:29.000 This can't be the handmaid's tale.
00:02:33.000 I just got in from Seneca Falls.
00:02:37.000 Why did I go to Seneca Falls?
00:02:39.000 Well, first of all, their rally was before yours.
00:02:41.000 Okay, so that's nothing personal here.
00:02:44.000 I went there because I needed to channel the spirit of those brave, audacious women who 173 years ago demanded the rights to control their own bodies.
00:02:58.000 They were tired of being the property of men.
00:03:01.000 They stood up, they fought, and many of them did not live long enough to see the rights that they believed in and fought for in Seneca Falls at that gathering.
00:03:10.000 But we are all beneficiaries of that because they had courage and stood up.
00:03:16.000 Well, unfortunately, according to our friends and sponsors over at CalShee, Kathy Hogel is basically certain to win reelect because New Yorkers, what are you doing?
00:03:24.000 What are you doing?
00:03:26.000 94% shot of winning reelect in New York.
00:03:29.000 Why, New Yorkers?
00:03:29.000 Why?
00:03:30.000 I mean, you brought this upon yourself.
00:03:31.000 This is your fault.
00:03:32.000 Well, why is this relevant?
00:03:34.000 Because over the weekend, Governor Kathy Hogel decided that she was going to show up and wear hijab, like full on wear the hijab.
00:03:41.000 Now, again, there are lots of religious places all over planet Earth where women cover their hair out of respect.
00:03:46.000 That is not the same thing as full on putting the garb on.
00:03:51.000 We've talked about this before because a bunch of Democratic politicians have been doing this.
00:03:54.000 AOC did this.
00:03:55.000 She full on donned the hijab.
00:03:58.000 And that is different from Nancy Pelosi when she visited Syria, for example, putting a scarf over her hair, or women who decide to cover their hair when they go into St. Peter's Basilica, or if they decide to go to the Western Wall or something.
00:04:09.000 When you decide to full on don the garb that, in the vast majority of planet Earth, is mandatory for Muslim women and is punishable by law, you are making a statement.
00:04:20.000 You are saying something.
00:04:22.000 Here is Governor Kathy Hochul wearing the hijab.
00:04:25.000 And I want to thank Zach's friend, Mr. Abinay, to thank him for welcoming me to be a part of the family, to work with him and all the other executives, part of this organization.
00:04:40.000 Okay, this is not great.
00:04:42.000 It is not great because it turns out that, again, the hijab, globally speaking, there's a reason it's banned in France.
00:04:48.000 The reason that hijab, globally speaking, is controversial is because it is typically a form of compulsion on women.
00:04:56.000 And the fact that the governor of New York is not just covering her hair out of respect, she's full on donning the garb, says something.
00:05:01.000 It is a unique thing that is now being said by an enormous percentage of democratic governance and leadership.
00:05:09.000 And that thing is that we are going to now submit to the rules.
00:05:14.000 That is the idea here.
00:05:15.000 It is.
00:05:15.000 And again, that is different from somebody putting a doily on their head when they go into a Catholic mass or somebody even going to a synagogue and putting on a yarmulke, which, by the way, I'm just telling all politicians, as an Orthodox Jew, you don't have to put on a yarmulke to walk into a Jewish synagogue.
00:05:33.000 The only people who actually ask you to do that are Reformed Jews who typically don't wear a yarmulke in the first place.
00:05:36.000 People like me who wear it full time, I'm just telling you, you don't have to do it.
00:05:39.000 There's no obligation to.
00:05:40.000 Anyway, this is all part and parcel of a leftist willingness to not only glaze Islam, but also to submit to it and to start repeating all the talking points of it.
00:05:55.000 And this has become not just a New York issue, as we'll talk about in a second, but it is also a globalized issue.
00:06:01.000 Canada's CBC News, for example, has now decided to cover 9 11 by not calling it a terrorist attack.
00:06:08.000 According to the Daily Wire, in preparation for the 25th anniversary of 9 11, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation sent a memo to its staff with instructions on how to refer to the 2001 terrorist attacks, specifically not to call the events terrorist attacks.
00:06:21.000 Do not refer to September 11 attacks as terrorist attacks, the memo read.
00:06:25.000 The hijackings led to passenger jet crashes in Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, and Manhattan.
00:06:30.000 The World Trade Center, Was destroyed.
00:06:33.000 That memo was attributed to one Bassam Basra, the senior director of journalistic standards and public trust at CBC News.
00:06:41.000 This is what the West has done to itself.
00:06:43.000 The West has decided that it is guilty.
00:06:45.000 The West deserves what happened to it and that people have to be imported en masse because the West is guilty.
00:06:52.000 Coming up, a video journalist goes to New York and the site is not pretty.
00:06:56.000 You know what else is not pretty?
00:06:57.000 Your wireless bill.
00:06:58.000 You're just paying too much money.
00:07:00.000 And I don't know why you're sticking with it, frankly, because listen.
00:07:03.000 People abandon an airline after one delayed flight or avoid a restaurant after a bad meal.
00:07:06.000 But your wireless company, you've been with them for 15 years, mainly because it's a pain in the butt to switch, right?
00:07:11.000 But this is why I've been telling you about Pure Talk.
00:07:13.000 In a recent industry survey, Pure Talk was the only wireless company to receive five stars in every single category coverage, support, value, data.
00:07:20.000 Right now, Pure Talk is offering unlimited data for just $15 a month for your first three months.
00:07:25.000 After that, unlimited starts as low as $34.99 a month with no contract.
00:07:28.000 So maybe 15 years is long enough.
00:07:30.000 Go to puretalk.comslash Shapiro, make the switch to my favorite wireless company.
00:07:34.000 Pure Talk.
00:07:35.000 There is a better wireless choice out there at just 15 bucks a month for your first three months.
00:07:39.000 Now would be an excellent time to choose Pure Talk.
00:07:41.000 Again, that is puretalk.com slash Shapiro.

00:07:46.000 I've been using Pure Talk for years.
00:07:47.000 The coverage is great.
00:07:48.000 I'm spending less money.
00:07:49.000 And by the way, the company actually shares my values.

00:07:56.000 Also, if I'm planning to work out in the morning, putting my clothes out the night before, it eliminates an excuse.
00:08:01.000 It doesn't eliminate the desire to stay in bed, but at least I'm not negotiating with myself while I'm looking for socks.
00:08:06.000 A little preparation makes the next decision a lot easier.
00:08:09.000 With September coming up, there's something more consequential to check off your list life insurance.
00:08:13.000 Because finding that right coverage is easy to postpone.
00:08:16.000 How much do you need?

00:08:57.000 Nate Friedman, the video journalist, went to New York and he went to the East Village, a very heavily Muslim part of New York City.
00:09:09.000 And things got awkward because it turns out that full scale streets have been taken over by Islamic prayer, by people who are leaving bikes in the streets, not getting parking tickets.
00:09:19.000 Apparently, some of the police officers for the traffic department there barely speak English and are essentially allowing people to get away with the violation of law.
00:09:26.000 Here's Nate Friedman reporting from New York City.
00:09:30.000 Are you going to give these bicycles tickets?
00:09:33.000 No, because they have no number.
00:09:35.000 They have no number?
00:09:36.000 Oh, so they only get ticketed if they have a plate?
00:09:38.000 Yeah, so my time is short.
00:09:39.000 I have prayer time.
00:09:41.000 My prayer time?
00:09:42.000 Oh, you have prayer time now?
00:09:43.000 Yeah, thank you.
00:09:44.000 Oh, wait, hold on.
00:09:45.000 Let's talk about that for a moment.
00:09:47.000 So basically, are you not able to give tickets out right now because you have to go pray?
00:09:53.000 Is that what's going on?
00:09:57.000 Is that what's happening?
00:09:58.000 New York City plate.
00:09:59.000 We issued that ticket without plate.
00:10:02.000 Without plate.
00:10:03.000 So there would be no incentive to put a plate, then, unless you want to get ticketed.
00:10:06.000 This is a traffic officer from New York.
00:10:08.000 He can barely speak English and he has prayer time and he can't give tickets to the bikes because an enormous number of delivery people in New York City are Muslim.
00:10:16.000 He won't give tickets to the bikes that don't have plates.
00:10:18.000 And so they decided, by the way, to just put fake plates on the bikes or to cover the plates with stickers from car companies, for example.
00:10:27.000 Here is Nate Friedman.
00:10:29.000 Asking one of the men in this area, a Muslim man in the area, about Sharia law.
00:10:33.000 Now, the key to this clip is not the Muslim man who wants Sharia law in New York City.
00:10:38.000 The key is the white lady who yells at Nate Friedman for asking the question as she walks by.
00:10:44.000 Does a good Muslim follow Sharia?
00:10:46.000 Okay.
00:10:46.000 Yeah.
00:10:47.000 So, as we grow in the Muslim population in New York, because as you know, Muslim people are having babies much more than Christians.
00:10:55.000 So, do you believe New York will become Islamic soon?
00:10:55.000 Okay.
00:10:59.000 You know, this is the last Muslim.
00:11:01.000 Would you like to speak?
00:11:01.000 Okay.
00:11:04.000 And then there's a white lady who just walks by and screams at him, Go F yourself for asking about all of this.
00:11:10.000 Okay, so that is the thing.
00:11:12.000 That's the thing.
00:11:14.000 84% of women aged 18 to 29 in New York City voted for Zoran Momdani.
00:11:19.000 84%.
00:11:21.000 And then they released videos like this from the night of Momdani's victory cheering Sharia law, which none of them would want to abide by because I'll tell you what, Sharia law is not in favor of literally anything these women want to do.
00:11:37.000 Sharia law starts now.
00:11:39.000 Absolutely.
00:11:40.000 So, Ron Mokhtani, Islamic Caliphate, our brother in Islam, Islamic Caliphate of New York starts today, baby.
00:11:51.000 I mean, again, this is insane.
00:11:54.000 We've seen shades of this, by the way, in other countries.
00:11:56.000 In 1979, there were a bunch of feminists who protested against the Shah and ended up bringing Khomeini onto themselves.
00:12:01.000 So, there's that.
00:12:02.000 Okay, but why are American women in liberal areas in particular buying into all of this?
00:12:06.000 Why do you have Kathy Hochul, who again is a lib femme, buying into I've got a Don Hijab.
00:12:11.000 Why?
00:12:12.000 Well, number one, a lot of these women have been taught that tolerance is the greatest virtue, perhaps the only virtue that if you are, quote unquote, intolerant by noticing cultural differences, by pointing out that Islam on a global scale is not very often a progressive force, it typically is a repressive force, that that is a form of intolerance.
00:12:31.000 So F yourself, right?
00:12:32.000 Go F you.
00:12:34.000 They've also been taught that their civilization is uniquely intolerant, which means sexist and terrible and evil and horrible.
00:12:40.000 So they will go out and protest in handmaid's tail outfits.
00:12:45.000 The appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
00:12:47.000 They will put on the Margaret Atwood costumes, the red costumes that cover their whole body, the body shaming and all the rest of it, to protest Brett Kavanaugh at the Supreme Court.
00:12:59.000 And then they will don literally the uniform of female repression across planet Earth in New York City in order to fight American intolerance.
00:13:08.000 That is what they will do.
00:13:10.000 And why is that really happening?
00:13:11.000 I mean, the answer is for so many young people, but it's particularly true of young women.
00:13:15.000 They're using politics as a substitute for family and community.
00:13:18.000 Which is why they're voting the way that they are.
00:13:20.000 It provides a sense of communal solidarity.
00:13:23.000 Because the great irony of young liberal feminists shouting for Sharia law is pretty astonishing.
00:13:29.000 It's pretty astonishing.
00:13:30.000 And this is how you end up with a New York City that is being dominated by people who believe that America is inherently evil and terrible, people who sympathize with the ideological belief system of the people who murdered 3,000 people on 9 11.
00:13:45.000 I'm saying that advisedly because Zoramandani literally does.
00:13:49.000 September 11th, 2023, the current mayor of New York.
00:13:52.000 Again, this is not 20 years ago and he recanted.
00:13:56.000 This is three years ago.
00:13:59.000 Three.
00:14:01.000 He tweeted, quote, nearly 3,000 New Yorkers died on 9 11.
00:14:05.000 22 years later, the death hasn't stopped.
00:14:07.000 Did you know that 3,000 New Yorkers died on 9 11 spontaneously?
00:14:10.000 They're just walking around in the streets and bam, they all had heart attacks.
00:14:13.000 They spontaneously combusted.
00:14:15.000 In the words of Ilhan Omar, some people did something.
00:14:19.000 Can't acknowledge What radical Islam did can't acknowledge what terrorism did.
00:14:23.000 It isn't terrorism.
00:14:25.000 The real tragedy, according to Zarn Mandani, of course, is the hundreds of thousands of Muslims who were victimized by America.
00:14:32.000 Quote, we mourn our neighbors who died that day, the hundreds of thousands who died in the wars that followed, the unknown millions injured and displaced.
00:14:41.000 In their memory, we work toward a better world.
00:14:43.000 So notice what he's doing in that tweet many things.
00:14:45.000 One, he's pretending that people just spontaneously combusted.
00:14:49.000 There was no Islamic terror attack on 9 11, it was all in our imagination.
00:14:52.000 Two, the real tragedy is not the thousands, because that's like 3,000 people.
00:14:56.000 It's the hundreds of thousands and millions of people who are harmed by the United States.
00:15:02.000 The United States is the bad guy, in other words.
00:15:04.000 This is what he truly believes.
00:15:06.000 And this piece of dreck is the mayor of New York City.
00:15:09.000 Remember, during the campaign, he suggested standing in the Bronx at an Islamic event that the real victims of 9 11 were Muslims in New York, including his auntie, his poor auntie, who supposedly experienced Islamophobia.
00:15:24.000 Turns out that story probably wasn't true.
00:15:25.000 I want to use this moment to speak to the Muslims of New York City.
00:15:39.000 I want to speak to the memory of my aunt who stopped taking the subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab.
00:15:55.000 That is the real tragedy.
00:15:56.000 That right there is the real tragedy.
00:15:58.000 Now, again, all of this is connected to a broader anti American worldview.
00:16:03.000 Hassan Piker has become a hot topic because Hassan Piker is very open about this stuff.
00:16:07.000 He doesn't try to hide the ball.
00:16:08.000 Politicians will lie about it.
00:16:11.000 Is Armamdani will pretend that he cares about 9 11 after tweeting three years ago that he obviously doesn't care about 9 11.
00:16:17.000 He cares that American foreign policy caused 9 11 and then caused millions of Muslim deaths around the world, according to Zarmamdani.
00:16:23.000 But Hassan Piker has the virtue of radical honesty.
00:16:27.000 I mean, now he claims that he never said that he hates America, but he does.
00:16:31.000 I mean, here was Hassan Piker saying, like this week, he doesn't hate America, contrasted with him like a couple of years ago when he had longer hair and was trying to do John Lennon knockoff routine, saying that he hates America.
00:16:44.000 It is completely ridiculous.
00:16:47.000 It's laughable to say, guys like myself, guys like Abdul Al Sayed, we hate America.
00:16:53.000 I say, I hate America all the time.
00:16:55.000 A lot of motherfuckers want to kill me over that take, but at least I say it with my fucking chest.
00:16:59.000 People will be like, Hassan, you hate America.
00:17:00.000 I'm like, yeah, I do.
00:17:01.000 I do hate America.
00:17:04.000 I know.
00:17:05.000 It's all a myth.
00:17:05.000 It's all a myth.
00:17:07.000 Engaging a little bit of tequila there, lying for wartime purposes.
00:17:11.000 Hassan Piker was on the Breakfast Club over the weekend with Shiloh Man the God.
00:17:15.000 And he basically just acknowledged that he thinks that America is full scale illegitimate in the same way that he says Israel is illegitimate, right?
00:17:22.000 Both settler colonial occupations.
00:17:24.000 As I've said before, understand, folks, the broad scale anti Israel movement shares the same exact ideological underpinnings as the broad scale anti American movement.
00:17:34.000 Every argument they make about Israel is applicable to America.
00:17:38.000 They just make it about Israel so they don't have to have the awkward conversation about America.
00:17:42.000 Here's Hassan Piker ripping into the United States.
00:17:46.000 Israel is not dissimilar to how countries were formed, you know, maybe in, you know, maybe 100 years ago or 200 years ago or 300 years ago.
00:17:57.000 But this kind of siege warfare in 2026 is obviously going to be deemed unacceptable by people who do believe in, you know, liberal values and humanitarian values because we should oppose it.
00:18:11.000 That's what we learned.
00:18:12.000 We learned in school that this is unacceptable when, you know, nations of the past did it.
00:18:16.000 We're supposed to acknowledge that it was unacceptable when America did it.
00:18:20.000 Now, the problem is some people don't want to acknowledge that, right?
00:18:23.000 Because this is a settler colonial occupation as well in its inception.
00:18:28.000 That's how America was started as well the mass slaughter of the indigenous population and the continuation of chattel slavery after that.
00:18:38.000 Again, despises America.
00:18:40.000 And so these people who despise America are now in positions of power.
00:18:44.000 All righty, coming up Abdul Al Sayed had Hassan Piker stumped for him.
00:18:47.000 Again, all the America haters, they are in one basket.
00:18:50.000 Here's the reality.
00:18:51.000 America needs better people than this.
00:18:53.000 We just need better people than this.

00:19:49.000 Also, there is apparently a growing trend called sleep divorce.
00:19:52.000 This is when a married couple sleeps in separate rooms because one person snores or steals the covers.
00:19:57.000 Or tosses and turns, or sets the thermostat to a temperature normally associated with food preservation.
00:20:02.000 Well, before you serve your spouse with papers over blanket theft, you might be better off just getting a better mattress.
00:20:07.000 This is one reason my wife and I sleep on that Helix mattress.
00:20:11.000 Okay, so my wife and I disagree on temperature.
00:20:13.000 My wife likes it warmer.
00:20:14.000 I like it cooler.
00:20:15.000 But the Helix mattress is breathable.
00:20:17.000 It makes me cooler.
00:20:18.000 So that means I'm not absorbing heat in the same way I normally would.
00:20:21.000 So that makes the compromise a lot easier.
00:20:23.000 Helix knows no two people sleep exactly alike.
00:20:25.000 Their quick sleep quiz considers how you sleep and matches you with one of more than 20 mattress models designed for different comfort and support needs.

00:20:53.000 Abdul Al Sayed, who literally asked Piker to campaign for him.
00:20:58.000 Piker admits this.
00:21:00.000 Piker says that Al Sayed asked him to stump for him.
00:21:05.000 Yeah, that definitely happened after the Abdul Al Sayed campaign.
00:21:11.000 He asked me to stomp for him.
00:21:14.000 And I had not considered that ever before.
00:21:17.000 I'd never really delivered a speech like that before.
00:21:19.000 Ironically enough, the last time I had a big political speech outside of pro Palestine conferences and rallies was March for Our Lives.
00:21:31.000 Hey, and now Abdullah Syed is claiming that the race is not about a social media person from California.
00:21:35.000 I agree.
00:21:36.000 It's about you, dude.
00:21:37.000 You're the one who believes exactly the same things that Hassan Biker believes, he is a radical anti American.
00:21:44.000 Islamist who supports terrorism.
00:21:46.000 I mean, that is who Al Sayed is.
00:21:49.000 The focus on Piker is just a convenient way to avoid the fact that he agrees with Piker.
00:21:54.000 Here is Abdul Al Sayed.
00:21:58.000 I am not interested in a conversation about a social media person in California.
00:22:02.000 And for folks who want to make this race about a social media person in California, let's not forget what actually matters in our politics, what our politics really are about.
00:22:08.000 I don't ever want my comments to hurt anybody's feelings.
00:22:11.000 It's important to me that people understand that I take seriously the pain of all communities in this state.
00:22:17.000 But I'm no longer going to have a conversation about a Twitch streamer in California.
00:22:21.000 This is not a serious conversation.
00:22:22.000 Why did you bring him to Michigan?
00:22:23.000 We already went to Fox News.
00:22:23.000 All right.
00:22:25.000 Where are you?
00:22:25.000 Fox News?
00:22:26.000 And then he's got his handler in there jumping in before he can actually answer the question.
00:22:32.000 Now, by the way, he is coming out with his own form of tequila.
00:22:34.000 He is lying.
00:22:35.000 He says that he is walking back.
00:22:37.000 You remember those comments where he suggested after a radical Muslim from Dearborn, Michigan drove a truck into a Jewish preschool in the nearby area?
00:22:45.000 He came out and he equated that.
00:22:47.000 To the IDF killing a member of Hezbollah.
00:22:49.000 And he said, hurt people, hurt people.
00:22:51.000 Now he is saying that he wants to offer context The right medicine at the wrong time, it's the wrong medicine.
00:22:58.000 So he doesn't disagree with what he was saying.
00:22:59.000 He just believes that it was offensive because of when he said it.
00:23:03.000 So once again, always and forever, the West is responsible for the sins of Islam.
00:23:08.000 The West brings it upon itself.
00:23:10.000 It is all blowback, always and forever.
00:23:12.000 And this is the prevailing view for people like El Sayed, it is the prevailing view for Piker, for Cenk Uyghur.
00:23:18.000 For Zarim Amdani, and now for a Democratic Party that has decided they must fellow travel with these people and basically agree with them.
00:23:28.000 And meanwhile, the West continues to import these people.
00:23:30.000 None of these people have to be here.
00:23:31.000 Can we just point this out?
00:23:32.000 None of the people I just mentioned should be in the country.
00:23:35.000 None of them.
00:23:37.000 What was the benefit to Abdul Al Sayed's parents coming into the United States?
00:23:40.000 What was the benefit to Zarim Amdani's parents being allowed into the United States?
00:23:44.000 How about Cenk Uyghur's family and Hassan Piker's family?
00:23:47.000 He grew up in Turkey.
00:23:49.000 What has been the vast boon to the American taxpayer from these people?
00:23:53.000 What has been the great cultural reawakening that has occurred because of these people who despise the country?
00:24:00.000 But again, the goal is to use the freedoms of the West against it, which is why Hassan Piker goes on the Breakfast Club.
00:24:05.000 There is no one more repressive in American public life with regard to targeting political opposition than Hassan Piker.
00:24:11.000 Dude literally wears Mao uniforms.
00:24:14.000 Mao, famous for literally murdering tens of millions of human beings, including people who just disagreed with him during the Cultural Revolution.
00:24:21.000 Piker is perfectly fine with mass murder of political opponents.
00:24:24.000 But now he says the American government is bad because they're targeting activists.
00:24:28.000 Oh, do you mean that the government is deporting people who hate the country?
00:24:32.000 I mean, yes, that is what he means.
00:24:33.000 He doesn't want the government deporting people who hate the country because then people like Hassan Piker wouldn't be let in.
00:24:39.000 But the government's always targeted activists.
00:24:41.000 Yeah, I mean, there's already tremendous suspicion around numerous key figures in Black Lives Matter protests, all the way from the Obama administration as well, that have all died by suicide.
00:24:55.000 It's, you know, strange phenomena.
00:24:57.000 And obviously, we know that there is a historic precedent for this the American government.
00:25:02.000 Yes, exactly.
00:25:03.000 So that's always been the case, right?
00:25:08.000 And outside of that, I think there is a lot more apprehension of.
00:25:12.000 Of even like student protesters and whatnot.
00:25:16.000 So he's saying that the government is randomly killing activists, not only deporting them, killing them.
00:25:22.000 Because this is how much he hates the country, because that's not true at all.
00:25:25.000 Here is the reality our immigration system is broken.
00:25:28.000 We never should have imported these folks.
00:25:30.000 We never should have done it.
00:25:30.000 We should stop it right now and reverse it.
00:25:33.000 What an amazing video you just watched.
