00:00:55.140 Well, I mean, two things that I know about Hasan Piper.

00:00:58.360 Okay. 1.00

00:00:59.000 One, he's an idiot. 1.00

00:01:00.540 And two, he's not a Democrat. 1.00

00:01:02.260 So I don't answer for idiots, and I don't answer for people who are not Democrats. 0.99

00:01:07.720 And then you think about, like, James Carville. 0.99

00:01:09.020 I'm like, bro, you architected the complete right-wing, like, ascent to neoliberalism in 96. 0.99

00:01:15.260 He said one smart thing once, which he seems to have forgotten, which is, it's the economy stupid. 0.95

00:01:21.060 You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson. 0.98

00:01:24.900 Good Thursday morning.

00:01:25.880 It's nice to have you with us on the 47 Morning Update.

00:01:28.300 And we've got a big story for you

00:01:30.080 There is a civil war that is breaking out inside the Democratic Party

00:01:34.140 The same people that used to say that Donald Trump was the worst person in the world 1.00

00:01:37.600 And the biggest idiot in the world are now saying 1.00

00:01:39.800 Their own colleagues are the biggest idiots they've ever seen 1.00

00:01:43.940 And many Democrats are now demanding 1.00

00:01:46.420 That the Democratic Socialists of America drop the name Democratic

00:01:50.240 Oh, it's not a joke

00:01:51.700 So what does this mean for the midterms?

00:01:54.060 I break it all down for you

00:01:55.600 Before we get to that, 25 years ago on September the 11th, 2001, America faced the heartbreak

00:02:02.580 of terrorism at home.

00:02:04.480 Three years ago, on October the 7th, 2023, Israel endured that same heartbreak in the

00:02:10.600 Holy Land. 0.86

00:02:11.620 Different decades, different attacks, the same evil. 0.97

00:02:15.880 Each year, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews hosts Flags of Fellowship. 0.83

00:02:20.800 It's a movement where thousands of churches display memorial flags to honor the one

00:02:25.580 thousand two hundred lives lost on october the 7th and it's a way to stand with israel in faith

00:02:31.440 prayer remembrance and solidarity now each flag represents a loved one a family forever changed

00:02:38.820 and a promise that we will not forget today hatred and violence still threaten our world

00:02:44.280 yet scripture calls on us to stand firm to comfort the grieving to honor the lost and shine a light

00:02:51.300 in the darkness. Together, we remember, we honor, and declare that evil will not have the final

00:02:57.320 word. Now, I want you to join thousands of churches across America in this powerful act

00:03:03.560 of remembrance and support for Israel. Learn how you and your church can participate in flags of

00:03:10.320 fellowship at join fof.org tell your church about it today that's join fof.org it's the 47 morning

00:03:21.980 update and it starts right now story number one so there's a civil war that's what some are calling

00:03:28.240 it within the democratic party right now over the radical left i'm talking about the hassan pikers

00:03:33.340 you know the guy that said that america deserved 9-11 and the um abdul el saeeds and you know the

00:03:39.900 AOCs and the Democratic Socialists of America. Now, the question is, is it actually a civil war

00:03:46.540 or is it just buyer's remorse? James Carville, who is a brilliant political mind, one of the

00:03:54.280 best I've ever seen on the Democratic side, a man who got the most out of Bill Clinton and in many

00:03:59.920 ways saved his presidency multiple times over. He is now calling Hassan Piker an idiot and demands 0.99

00:04:07.580 that the democratic socialists of america removed the word democrat from their name why because he 0.97

00:04:15.560 says it's tarnishing the democratic party now democratic socialists call themselves democratic

00:04:21.740 socialists because they believe that they are a combination of the democratic party and socialism

00:04:27.500 james carmel is saying no no no no you can't have it you can't have it at all now piker is a

00:04:34.420 self-described socialist who hates America and has campaigned with Democratic U.S. Senate candidate

00:04:40.820 for the Democratic Party, Abdul El-Sayed. He has become a leading voice of the far left as

00:04:47.060 socialist fight to influence the Democratic Party as a whole. And that is where the, quote,

00:04:52.780 civil war, as I would describe it, the fake civil war, actually are becoming a thing.

00:04:58.220 Quote, there are two things I know about Hassan Piker. One, he's an idiot. And two, 1.00

00:05:02.740 He's not a Democrat, so I don't answer for idiots, and I don't answer for people who 1.00

00:05:07.980 are not Democrats. 1.00

00:05:09.780 Now, that's what James Carville said on Fox News Channel.

00:05:12.520 He can say that all he wants to, but the reality is he absolutely is a Democrat, and he absolutely

00:05:18.000 is a member of the Democratic's wing of the party. 1.00

00:05:21.960 The idea that he's an idiot, by the way, as James Carville described him, well, that's 0.98

00:05:25.900 the part that's pretty funny to me because this is an individual that grew in its significance 0.99

00:05:32.760 inside the left side of the Democratic Party for years. They made him famous. They made him rich.

00:05:39.460 They watch his show. They listen to what he says. And now you have Democrats that are campaigning

00:05:46.320 with Hassan Piker. Now, I want you to listen to what James Carville had to say in its entirety

00:05:52.520 on The Story with Martha McCallum on Fox News Channel.

00:05:56.680 Listen carefully to how mad he is and ask yourself the question,

00:06:00.240 why is it only now, when we're getting close to the election,

00:06:03.120 when you're afraid you may actually lose in the election,

00:06:06.160 are you speaking out with this much anger?

00:06:08.600 Why is it that it took so long for them to say,

00:06:11.760 well, they're not really what we are?

00:06:14.380 Could it just simply be buyer's remorse?

00:06:16.880 I'll let you decide.

00:06:18.680 Democratic Socialists of America, standing by left-wing streamer Hassan Piker,

00:06:22.200 who once said the U.S. deserved 9-11.

00:06:25.500 He later said he did not mean that the U.S. deserved to be attacked,

00:06:29.160 calling his comment inappropriate as we close in on the 25th anniversary

00:06:32.940 of September 11th in just several days.

00:06:35.940 So the GSA accusing the establishment Democrats, Republicans, and the media

00:06:40.740 of having, quote, an obsession with a Twitch streamer.

00:06:44.980 Then adding Piker's handle and, quote, our Twitch streamer.

00:06:48.840 With that, we bring in longtime Democratic strategist and commentator

00:06:51.760 james carville uh jim always good to have you with us thank you for joining me today

00:06:55.480 thank you thank you so you know i want to ask you go ahead well i mean two things that i know 0.91

00:07:01.900 about hassan piker okay one he's an idiot and two he's not a democrat so i don't i don't answer for 0.97

00:07:08.760 idiots and i don't answer for people who are not democrats all right let me just play this quick 1.00

00:07:14.020 soundbite of piker and el sayad and you won't have to answer for him uh but this is what he 1.00

00:07:18.760 answer for you watch okay we got john fetterman james carville fantasizing about leaving the

00:07:25.040 party i'm like you're sweetening the deal i know you think about like james carville i'm like bro

00:07:29.600 you architected the complete right wing like a sense to neoliberalism in 96 he said one smart 0.97

00:07:36.480 thing once which he seems to have forgotten which is winning it's the economy stupid all right so 0.88

00:07:42.400 i'll say ed the michigan candidate who is about six or seven points ahead last time i looked 0.96

00:07:47.560 says you've said one smart thing, it's the economy 0.99

00:07:50.220 stupid, claiming that that's where their 0.99

00:07:52.060 focus is now. Well, you know, most 1.00

00:07:54.200 people go through life and never say a single smart

00:07:56.140 thing, so I'm glad that he thinks I said one smart

00:07:58.200 thing. I'll take that.

00:08:00.340 But I can't answer 1.00

00:08:02.220 for these left-wing idiots. 1.00

00:08:04.600 Okay, some people, and I have a pretty 1.00

00:08:06.100 wide-strung zone, by the way. I don't

00:08:08.220 expect everybody to agree with me. I understand that

00:08:10.180 I'm a Democrat, I'm part of a big

00:08:11.980 coalition, a big tent,

00:08:14.000 and we all have an admission

00:08:15.980 policy, but thank God Tyson

00:08:18.040 Piker doesn't want in our frack, because we don't

00:08:19.980 want him.

00:08:21.440 With regard to the Big Ten,

00:08:25.060 I see

00:08:26.140 people sort of trying to walk that line with

00:08:28.000 these guys all the time.

00:08:30.300 It could have been, they could have been

00:08:31.960 pushed out. You could have said, well, you've got to run in your

00:08:34.040 own party. We're not the Democratic Socialists.

00:08:36.180 Is that still a possibility?

00:08:38.380 Or do you think that they're going to

00:08:40.020 have some success in six weeks

00:08:41.940 from now?

00:08:43.840 I would tell the Democratic Socialists, why

00:08:45.920 use if you hate the democratic brand so much why use our words go call yourself something else

00:08:53.120 call yourself the socialists of america don't put the first word in your title democratic because

00:08:59.360 that's the party that's our party that's the party of civil rights that's the party of women's rights

00:09:04.880 that's the party of balanced budget that's the party of prosperity don't use our name you make

00:09:10.640 up your own name that that's what i would tell him yeah you know i mean obviously there has been over

00:09:15.680 the last several years an inflation issue we talk a lot about affordability um you know these guys

00:09:21.740 don't really have an answer for that other than spending more government money which is how we

00:09:26.800 got this inflation in the first place first of all the united states has existed for 250 years

00:09:32.540 alan trump haven't been president for six of the 250 and his personally responsible one-third of

00:09:38.720 entire debt so i'm very happy to see that people are concerned about the debt by the way who is

00:09:46.800 the last president which we had a balanced budget i happen to know that's bill clinton well there's

00:09:52.800 no bill clinton around in this uh in this group nobody's talking about nobody's talking about

00:09:58.960 welfare reform anymore jim and so but we because welfare has been reformed but we get it we won

00:10:07.440 Victory.

00:10:08.660 And by the way, there are a lot of people in a Democratic Party.

00:10:12.260 I mean, President Clinton, he made 80 on August 19th.

00:10:15.280 I know that because it's the same birthday.

00:10:16.820 My wife has the same birthday as Chip McGill.

00:10:19.420 We won.

00:10:20.860 We can fall off.

00:10:21.600 Well, these guys are talking about expanding benefits programs dramatically.

00:10:25.720 Free buses, free education.

00:10:27.340 I got to leave it there.

00:10:28.160 I'm sorry we got you at the end of the show.

00:10:29.980 But Jim, thank you so much.

00:10:31.120 Good to see you.

00:10:31.720 Thank you so much.

00:10:32.640 I always appreciate it.

00:10:34.420 You listen to James Carville there.

00:10:36.180 Isn't it interesting how he's trying to go back and just completely change the narrative?

00:10:41.180 He's saying these guys and the Democratic Socialists of America, they're not actually

00:10:47.000 us.

00:10:48.420 We've got John Fetterman, James Carville.

00:10:51.020 I go back to what Hassan Piker was saying there with El Saeed, fantasizing about leaving

00:10:56.040 the party.

00:10:56.600 I'm like, you're sweetening the deal, Piker said in that recent stream, and we played

00:11:00.740 that for you a moment ago.

00:11:02.720 Carville, by the way, again, denouncing the DSA, that's the part where I just have to laugh.

00:11:09.180 You created them.

00:11:11.220 You absolutely created them.

00:11:15.340 You spoon-fed them.

00:11:17.020 You bottle-fed them before that.

00:11:19.160 You raised them.

00:11:20.120 The Democratic Party helped take over how many different places, and not just in government,

00:11:27.240 but also how many different places in education, right?

00:11:30.600 countless times countless times they took over public schools middle schools elementary schools

00:11:38.300 high schools and indoctrinated kids to hate this country the universities the same thing so what

00:11:44.540 ended up happening it's pretty clear they've decided to take a generation which they did 0.54

00:11:51.160 Hassan Piker is a part of it and say America is the worst country in the world and America is evil

00:11:56.920 and you must dismantle it you you you must dismantle it that's what they've done and now

00:12:05.040 he's coming out and he's saying get out of my party this isn't your party this is my party

00:12:10.300 you're not a democrat go start your own party and you notice martha asked a very interesting

00:12:15.480 question there and he didn't have a great answer for it in fact he dodged it then why did you let

00:12:20.360 them run under the Democrat name. They ran the Democrat primary. Why did you let them run in the

00:12:27.900 Democratic primary? Why is it that you let them act like they are one of you if you're now claiming

00:12:33.740 that you are not, that they are not one of you? Secretary Scott Besson said this about socialists,

00:12:41.120 and this is the Hassan Piker, this is the communist, the Marxist socialists. He said this today on

00:12:45.800 Larry Kudlow's show is very interesting. Listen, I think we have a generational opportunity in the

00:12:50.960 Western hemisphere. As you said, it was led by Argentina and the reforms there. Everyone said

00:12:57.260 it couldn't be done. And now we are seeing that the inflation drop, the change in economic

00:13:06.240 circumstances. And Larry, I thought what was most interesting, and when you talk about socialism

00:13:11.740 here in the U.S., when we look at the demographic of those voters, they are overeducated and

00:13:18.460 under-earning. So these are underachievers who are jealous of those who want to go and work

00:13:25.460 every day. And if you were to dissect the last election that President Malay had, that it was

00:13:32.560 the poorest segment of society and the young people who came out and voted for him. But as

00:13:39.000 you said we're seeing argentina we're seeing bolivia we're seeing colombia we're seeing

00:13:43.800 chile come back ecuador and i think we could see many more you know you go back to the quote there 0.52

00:13:49.620 from secretary besson on socialists they are over educated and under earning so these are

00:13:55.240 they're underachievers who are jealous of those who want to go and work every day work hard every

00:14:01.780 day he's right so when you hear these democrats now freaking out it's not because of what the

00:14:07.940 democratic socialists believe in it's because they are afraid it is because they are very afraid

00:14:15.460 that they're going to lose the election which means they lose power if they didn't like these

00:14:20.480 people they should have policed them but they love them they they they created them out of

00:14:25.340 nothing they supported them they gave them their money they allowed them to run as democrats they

00:14:31.180 didn't kick them out of the party and now they're having buyer's remorse that is what this is

00:14:36.700 I go back to Hassan Piker and what he said. I don't quote, I hate, you know, I hate America. We deserve 9-11. Right. Hassan Piker said that. That is what Hassan Piker said. That is who the Democratic Party has allowed to become so big. That's the reality of this.
