00:00:56.020And Senator, we've got a lot to talk about in today's show, including the shocking news of a real New York terror attack that has been foiled with someone, you know, declaring that they are a member of ISIS.
00:01:09.600Well, left-wing radicalism is getting worse and worse, and it is profoundly dangerous.
00:01:15.700And today we're going to talk about manifestations of it that are getting more and more extreme and more and more dangerous.
00:01:20.740We're going to start with a terror plot in New York of an America-hating radical who planned to bomb the New York state capitol,
00:01:28.780wanted to kill as many senators, kill upwards of 100 people.
00:01:33.800We're going to give you the facts on that.
00:01:35.340We're also going to talk about wokeness in corporate America, and in particular Nike.
00:01:41.480Nike made a decision to embrace the left wing, to embrace anti-Americanism,
00:01:47.560to embrace racial divisiveness, to embrace transgender boys and girls sports, and the0.84
00:01:53.780consequence has been that their stock price has plummeted, that go woke, go broke is a very real0.59
00:01:58.640thing. We're going to talk about some of the radicals who are running for Senate across the
00:02:02.460country, including in particular James Tallarico in Texas and Abdul Al-Sayed in Michigan, both of
00:02:08.320whom it seems every week we discover more and more extreme positions they've taken. And finally,
00:02:14.120we're going to talk about Hassan Piker, the radical who campaigns with Al-Sayed, who campaigns
00:02:18.580with other Democrats, and who has said America deserves 9-11. It's now been reported that his
00:02:24.200younger brother has worked on sensitive Boeing projects, including Air Force One, and we're
00:02:30.100going to raise the potential national security implications of America-hating Islamists being
00:02:36.120in a position to cause real damage. All of that is on today's pod. Yeah, it's a lot to cover,
00:02:41.840So get ready. Right now, somewhere in the world, there's a child that is waiting, not waiting for a birthday, not waiting for Christmas, waiting for someone to choose them.
00:02:52.820That's what Compassion International does every single day.
00:02:56.840They connect children living in poverty with someone who will know their name, will pray for them, encourage them and help provide the food, medical care, education and most importantly, the hope they need through a local church.
00:03:11.380Now, this year, Compassion is expanding into four new countries, Malawi, Zambia, Cambodia, and Myanmar, meaning thousands of children are being reached for the very first time.
00:03:24.080I want you to join me in getting involved and helping a child in need.
00:03:28.260For just $43 a month, you can be the reason one child stops waiting.

00:06:24.800and that surveillance teams observed her photographing the area.
00:06:28.520She is alleged to have said in messages to the source0.74
00:06:30.940that she wanted to have a, quote, effect on the American system. Quote, I want to destroy as much1.00
00:06:38.120of the buildings as possible and kill the senators while they are meeting, a message including in the0.99
00:06:43.220complaint said. Two other confidential sources met with Bowie in Albany this month. In a meeting that
00:06:48.500was recorded, the complaint says, Bowie is alleged to have said she wanted to attack the building on
00:06:52.400a day when most senators would be present. She hoped to escape after the attack, and if she0.96
00:06:57.020evaded the authorities plan to return for future plots. Quote, Miss Bowie didn't just want to kill1.00
00:07:02.660lawmakers. She wanted a complete disruption of our government, and after that she planned to flee the1.00
00:07:07.340country and one day come back and do more, such as New Year's Eve in Times Square, even stating1.00
00:07:12.860that she would come back to attack the White House and the president. Asked why she wanted to target0.90
00:07:19.320the state capitol, Bowie's alleged to have said, quote, ideally it would be the White House with
00:07:23.600the president. But like, that's an even harder job. Quote, I'd say it definitely bothers me,
00:07:30.080and I know I'm going to hear about things after. What's going to bother me, especially if there's
00:07:34.280a Muslim, if there's children, pregnant women? She went on to say, however, she hoped Allah
00:07:38.620would forgive her. One of the confidential sources gave Bowie $200 to purchase bomb-making materials,
00:07:44.040which she is alleged to have done August 5th at a Home Depot. She gave the items to the
00:07:48.660confidential sources when she met with them in the days that followed. This is, so she's been
00:07:53.680arrested. She's been stopped. She was buying bomb making material. She was communicating with people0.76
00:07:58.400she thought were ISIS. She was asking about carrying out a major terror attack. This is an
00:08:04.920American. This is not a foreigner. This is not someone from the Middle East. This is an American
00:08:08.680from New York who grew up and was radicalized, was taught to hate America, was taught to celebrate
00:08:17.0009-11. And the consequences of that is she had been indoctrinated that America is an evil place,
00:08:23.900that carrying out acts of violence are justified, that they are to be celebrated, that they are good.
00:08:29.900And I will say the evil that the world saw on 9-11, this evil is becoming normalized. It's
00:08:35.980spreading across this country. It's becoming domestic. It's not just a foreign threat.
00:08:40.800And this challenge is only getting worse. I want to remind everyone that's listening or watching
00:08:45.660this that your new book is coming out and it is incredible it is about Clarence Thomas

00:09:35.760Senator, this next topic is one that I think is awesome from the standpoint that it shows
00:09:41.900that when corporate America does something that is really kind of egregious and goes
00:09:48.780against traditional family values, even America in general, there can be long-term consequences,
00:09:55.720even if you don't see them instantly in the marketplace.
00:09:59.160This will be studied in business schools, I'm convinced, for years to come as well.
00:10:03.980And it's the demise of Nike, where they have lost not 200 million, not 20 billion, but 200 billion dollars in market cap has been wiped out.
00:10:14.920And you can directly connect it to their woke, radical agenda they started pushing several years ago.
00:10:22.020Well, the principle go woke, go broke is is a very true principle.
00:10:25.800And yet corporate America repeatedly has been on the front edge of the woke DEI madness that that consume much of the country.0.93
00:10:33.820And if you think, okay, we're past that now because Trump got reelected, I think that is a foolish belief.
00:10:40.980This nonsense will come back, and they're young 20-something, 30-something HR officials, DEI officials, corporate marketing officials who have been indoctrinated in this nonsense in colleges and universities.0.85
00:10:57.640Look, Nike is a great American company.
00:10:59.600and and nike made a corporate decision in the last decade to embrace left-wing politics uh they did
00:11:08.120it most prominently with colin kaepernick colin kaepernick of course was the quarterback who
00:11:11.920decided to kneel uh during the the national anthem and to do so in in opposition to what he he
00:11:19.820described as as violence against african americans from police doing it to attack police officers and
00:11:25.000say police are engaged in violence. And that became a left-wing cause celeb, that you should
00:11:31.000not stand for the national anthem, that our country doesn't deserve respect, that our country
00:11:34.620shouldn't be celebrated. And what did Nike do? They made Colin Kaepernick their front person.
00:11:41.080They put him as part of a national campaign. They put him on a giant billboard in Times Square.
00:11:47.320They celebrated him. This is what they embraced. And Senator, I think a really important data point
00:11:52.920here is when they signed Colin Kaepernick and they pushed this agenda that you just mentioned
00:11:58.000and the billboard in Times Square he was not actively playing in the league anymore that is
00:12:04.360how much Nike went woke yeah and look Kaepernick made millions of dollars on it for him it was very
00:12:10.040profitable to go woke because he no longer was getting playing time he was not performing at
00:12:14.620the top of the level think about that what that's saying you know Nike really made their bones on
00:12:19.440Michael Jordan and and they famously went into a deal where where Jordan got a percentage of
00:12:24.300sneaker sales and it helped make Michael Jordan a billionaire but Michael Jordan was also the
00:12:30.360greatest basketball player to ever play and and so they're going all in on someone who was
00:12:34.000extraordinary at sports and and was a a hell of a marketing image a personality an athlete for
00:12:42.260for the centuries. Kaepernick wasn't even playing at that point. What they were celebrating
00:12:49.820is the America hate. And that was, it was a decision. It was a decision that I guarantee
00:12:56.860it was made by some 30-something woke little schmuck who said, this is a great idea. And by0.98
00:13:03.260the way, the next summer, they had a 4th of July themed Air Max sneaker that featured the Betsy
00:13:09.800Ross flag and then Kaepernick was feeling his oats I mean he could now demand anything and he
00:13:14.860said well I don't like the Betsy Ross flag and so what did uh what did Nike do it pulled the sneaker
00:13:21.980because of concerns that the shoe could quote unintentionally offend and I gotta say for me at
00:13:28.280least look I grew up I'm kind of a brand name guy like I use crest toothpaste I just like Nike is
00:13:34.540what I always wore every tennis shoe I bought from like you know when I was five years old I would
00:13:38.140wearing nikes as a kid growing up every tennis shoe i had was a nike uh every pair of shorts
00:13:43.100and t-shirts i had what was nike you know as you know i play hoops twice a week i would always play
00:13:47.620a nike and the kaepernick thing annoyed me and then when they did the betsy ross thing i said
00:13:52.600you know what this is a company that has decided their business plan is to market anti-americanism
00:13:59.560that they that that the country that young kids who are buying nike ought to be doing what
00:14:05.680Kaepernick is doing. Ought to be hating the Betsy Ross flag. Ought to be kneeling during the national
00:14:10.320anthem. Ought to be attacking America. And so I just decided, all right, look, who cares? I mean,
00:14:15.460my buying habits are not of particular concern, but I decided I ain't going to wear this stuff
00:14:19.340anymore. And I went out and I had to buy brand new tennis shoes, brand new shorts, brand new shirts.
00:14:23.780I just went online and say, all right, there are other makers. I'm just going to buy. I'm going to
00:14:27.640buy Adidas. I'm going to buy Reebok. I'm going to buy somebody else that has not built their
00:14:32.680marketing business around anti-americanism and by the way nike didn't just do that that they also
00:14:38.620went all in on the transgender issue and so they they partnered with with dylan mulvaney
00:14:44.560uh the transgender man who identifies as a woman uh and they paid dylan mulvaney to sell
00:14:51.460women's sports bras and leggings now dylan mulvaney i know this is a shocking thing to say
00:14:59.000is not a woman. But the amazing thing, Ben, this was after Bud Light had lit itself on fire.
00:15:08.440Yeah. So if you look at, I talk about this in my last book, Unwoke, How to Defeat Cultural0.89
00:15:12.920Marxism in America. Bud Light was the number one beer in America. And they decided to make
00:15:20.460Dylan Mulvaney their face of marketing, and they blew up their entire, it turns out,
00:15:25.240And they had this young marketing executive who didn't like their customers, who looked down on their customers, and Bud Light obliterated itself over that decision. Nike looked at it, and then Target, you remember Target had these displays where they were marketing to two-year-old boys, or parents of two-year-old boys, tuck-friendly swimsuits so that little boys could pretend to be little girls by tucking their genitalia away.
00:15:53.380I mean, this was aggressively, affirmatively marketing this stuff to children.
00:15:59.140And there was a huge backlash against Target.
00:16:01.060And in both instances, Bud Light and Target, billions of dollars were lost.
00:16:22.280When you tell half the country, I hate you, I look down on you, my politics, I'm a sneaker company, but I'm going to lecture to you that you too should hate America.
00:16:33.600Well, it turns out there are real consequences, and Nike is facing those.
00:16:37.560Canadian women are looking for more, more out of themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world around them.
00:16:43.900And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.
00:17:45.400The would-be communists, the Marxists, are winning in America, and they're doing so openly, and nobody cares.0.86
00:17:53.440I think giving the downtrodden money enables them.
00:17:56.320They aren't getting the money. I'm winning.
00:17:58.680Good Lord, that was the voice of the patriarchy right there, folks.
00:18:02.060Listen to Armstrong and Getty On Demand on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:18:08.940Senator, I want to move to something that is concerning.
00:18:12.580We have seen a massive rise, not just in this country, but also around the world of anti-Semitism.
00:18:19.800We've also seen around the world Christians, those that identify as Christians that are being killed at a shocking rate around the world.
00:18:28.420And what we're also seeing, and I think these are tied together hand in hand, massive open anti-Semitism in the U.S., many times from elected officials on the left.
00:18:38.740And now we're starting to see just a straight up anti-Christian rhetoric, this time coming from El Saeed in Tallarico.
00:18:48.200And I think these two stories are absolutely tied together where you get people numb to it.0.89
00:18:54.260And then you can start coming out and just saying, hey, I hate Christians, too.
00:18:58.040Well, what we're seeing is the rise of radicalism and the rise of radicalism manifested in a terror plot in New York that thankfully the FBI just stopped.
00:19:05.540the rise of radicalism manifested in corporate America and Nike making the decision to go all
00:19:10.660in on anti-Americanism. And the rise of radicalism in the Democrat Party, the rise of Marxism and
00:19:17.440Islamists, not as fringe characters in the parties, but at the very heart of the party,
00:19:23.360where the energy is, where the young people are. And I'll say two candidates in particular who are
00:19:28.960really extreme, although there are others and we've covered them at great length. But let's
00:19:32.080talk about James Tallarico, and let's talk about Abdul Al-Sayed. James Tallarico is the Democrat
00:19:36.720nominee in Texas, and this is a guy who styles himself a preacher and yet is as woke and radical
00:19:45.100as you have ever seen, and I want to focus on a couple of things Tallarico has said, and for one
00:19:51.680thing, he gave a sermon. He gave a sermon. Now, this may surprise you. The title of the sermon is
00:19:57.500God is not a Christian. Now, this guy is theoretically a Christian pastor. Here's
00:20:04.200what he stood up and said. There's so many pathways to the sacred. The Islamic mystic
00:20:09.620Rumi said, every religion has love, but love has no religion. God is so much bigger than our human
00:20:14.640categories. Quote, God is not a Presbyterian. God is not a Christian. God is not a noun at all.
00:20:22.120God is a verb. God is not a being. God is being self. God is love, and that's why Jesus is against
00:20:28.480anything that gets in the way of love between neighbors, including religion. Now, I don't know
00:20:34.700what the hell that is, but I'll tell you what it isn't. It isn't Christianity. When James Tallarico0.61
00:20:40.660stands up and says, God is not a Christian, Jesus says, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man
00:20:46.180comes to the Father but by me. That's what Jesus preached, and we see this pattern. By the way,
00:20:53.400there are others. You look at the Democrat who was running for Senate in Kansas who likewise stood up
00:20:59.180and preached that, hey, you know, you don't have to believe in Jesus to be saved. Now, look,
00:21:04.680someone is entitled to believe that, but the heart of Christianity, the essence of Christianity
00:21:09.180is that, yes, you do. You do have to believe in Jesus to be saved, and yet
00:21:14.100tallarico is leaning in and saying god is not a christian and he's claiming that is in fact
00:21:21.560christianity that is also sadly the heart of today's democrat radicals yeah it is it's part
00:21:29.000of it and and you look at just these two individuals one of the reasons which i also
00:21:33.800think is the scary part is tallarico is is a you know a wolf in sheep's clothes here where
00:21:42.180They ran him in Texas saying, hey, this will be palatable to conservatives and independents.
00:21:49.520You're going to have a guy here who is a pastor, right?
00:23:08.940He's saying there are laws against forcing beer on minors who can't think for themselves.
00:23:12.900He's saying you shouldn't preach the gospel to kids.
00:23:14.720You shouldn't teach your kids the Bible.
00:23:18.420The joke, you don't have to wait more than 2,000 years for a second beer.
00:23:23.420Okay, that's just, there is a reason why he said, and this is his own words, he is embarrassed to be a Christian.0.52
00:23:32.040Well, you can tell, because for him, his politics is front and center, and that's part of the problem on the left, is that politics has become their faith.
00:23:45.940It is replaced, you know, look, you and I both go to the same church, First Baptist Church in Houston, and I will say, as a believer, one of the things I look for in a pastor, in fact, front and center, is the pastor following the Bible?
00:24:01.460is the pastor, when the pastor preaches on Sunday, is he reading from Scripture and teaching
00:24:07.680Scripture and looking to the Bible for truth? What is missing from this sermon, he does invoke
00:24:16.260an Islamist mystic, but what is missing is actually the Bible, the Word of God, and that0.95
00:24:22.520radicalism, let's take another piece of it with Tallarico, which is the horrific case
00:24:30.000uh in texas of carmelo anthony now carmelo carmelo anthony stabbed a a teenage boy a
00:24:38.940white football star stabbed him in the chest and murdered him yeah and and it there's no dispute
00:24:43.960that he's guilty there's no dispute that he did it he walked up and just murdered this kid and0.92
00:24:48.740it's become a racial cause celeb and and what tallarico said in an interview on a black radio
00:24:57.980show. He said the conviction of Anthony is proof that the criminal justice system, quote,
00:25:05.340is not working for black Texans. Right now, we've got a system that doesn't serve all Americans
00:25:10.540equally, and we know that black Texans have been, have not gotten the justice they deserve.0.72
00:25:17.540Now, let me ask, what the hell does Tallarico want? Does he think it's okay to stab teenagers0.98
00:25:22.660in the heart and murder them he is literally arguing we should not convict and imprison
00:25:29.300murderers and there's no dispute about guilt everyone knows anthony committed the crime0.97
00:25:33.960but because of the race hustlers who say well yeah but but he's a black teenager so apparently
00:25:39.140murdering this this by the way this white kid who did nothing there was no no impetus for this other0.53
00:25:45.200than just cold-blooded murder and yet tallarico embraces that and says hey this is proof the
00:25:52.860system is rigged this is an example of a political ideology dominating the radicals and the democrats
00:26:00.400yeah you talk about tallarico there and and even you know al-said it's interesting to see what he
00:26:06.900actually believes in and then he tries to morph into uh this like christian faith thing he did
00:26:13.300it on a podcast recently and it just didn't land very well take a listen oh you know jesus peace
00:26:19.320and blessings be upon him was considered radical in his time too and there is a radical nature
00:26:26.700to being willing to stand forthright in a time of corruption wow i mean you start mixing face there
00:26:34.880and and and saying that jesus was a radical not in the way that he thinks radicalism should be
00:26:40.380let's be clear, like they're very different radicals here. Yeah, look, Jesus was a radical,
00:26:45.560but what Al-Sayed is doing is comparing himself to Jesus and saying, I'm just like Jesus, and I
00:26:49.760got to say, no, he's not. And yet, listen to Chuck Schumer embracing Al-Sayed. Look, the bottom line
00:26:55.940is we're going to win Michigan. Let me tell you why we're going to win Michigan. First, Al-Sayed
00:27:00.880has brought in new energy and new talent into the Democratic Party. Well, Schumer says that Al-Sayed
00:27:09.580has brought new energy and new talent into the Democrat Party. I've got to say there's nothing
00:27:13.800new about Islamism. There's nothing new about Marxism. What is new is that the Democrat Party
00:27:20.980is embracing it. And Schumer, listen, all that Schumer cares about is winning. And so if he has
00:27:26.580to embrace the Mondamis of the world, the El Saeeds of the world, the Tallaricos of the world,
00:27:31.720Schumer and the Democrat leadership is prepared to do that. And that radicalism is, and by the way,
00:27:37.300that radicalism will consume Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer cannot win a Democrat primary,
00:27:41.900and yet he's going to try to keep embracing these radicals and embracing them more and more.
00:27:47.280And that is, you know, I've said before, there's some Republicans who are celebrating it going,
00:27:52.620okay, this is great. The Democrat Party has gone nuts. That means we're more likely to win in0.89
00:27:56.500November. Listen, I don't celebrate it. We have two major parties in this country. Politics in
00:28:02.580America has been a pendulum. At some point, the Democrats will win. They will win the White House.
00:28:07.440And I would like two parties that have relatively normal, sane people. I'm not celebrating one of
00:28:15.040our two parties being an openly communist, Islamist, radical party, because that's bad0.85
00:28:22.080for America. And yet Democrat leadership is enthusiastically embracing it. All right,0.84
00:28:27.560Senator, I want to get into this national security issue, the media not talking about it.
00:28:32.580But Hassan Piker's got a wingman brother. He is a space engineer with security clearance.
00:28:38.680Now, that on its face, not a big deal. What's a big deal is the details behind the brother.
00:28:44.360Well, let's start with Hassan Piker. Hassan Piker is a radical. This entire show,
00:28:48.800we've been talking about the radicals who sadly are becoming more and more commonplace on the
00:28:54.100left, more and more commonplace in the Democrat Party. And Hassan Piker is a great example of
00:28:58.440he's an influencer who the Democrats have embraced. He is a communist. He is an Islamist.
00:29:04.460He hates America. He routinely rails. He hates African-Americans. He hates white Americans. He1.00
00:29:10.420hates the United States of America. He has said, and this is a quote, America deserved 9-11.
00:29:18.080This is, and by the way, Abdul Al-Sad and other Democrats campaign with him, embrace him.
00:29:23.900look by when they stand next to him and and both figuratively and literally embrace him that they're
00:29:30.200saying they support his ideas well turns out hassan piker has a brother and his brother is in a
00:29:36.800position that if he believes the same thing hassan does he's in a position to do real damage here
00:29:41.540here's a story from the from the washington free beacon hassan piker's younger brother is an
00:29:46.220aerospace engineer with security clearances who spent years working on u.s military projects for
00:29:52.180Boeing, projects that include Air Force One and the top-secret, quote, doomsday plane designed for
00:29:59.880nuclear war. Now, let's see, is this guy, maybe the brother, he doesn't have anything to do with
00:30:05.080Hassan Piker, he doesn't agree with his views, maybe they're estranged, that might be a different
00:30:09.000circumstance. Well, turns out that is not the case. Let me continue reading. Murat Piker, an engineer
00:30:14.860who spent more than a decade at Boeing, regularly appears on his older brother's controversial social
00:30:21.700media channel and has also accompanied him to events. Hassan has declared that, quote,
00:30:29.640America deserved 9-11, bragged about his support for Hamas, spoken in favor of Iran's right to
00:30:34.320defend itself, and blamed Iran's death to America and great Satan rhetoric on the United States,0.65
00:30:39.360quote, messing around in the Middle East. Well, his kid brother, Murat, worked as a full-time
00:30:46.160employee at Boeing for more than a decade, and left on his own, of his own volition, earlier this
00:30:52.060year. He said, quote, my background includes significant experience at Boeing Space and
00:30:58.660Defense, where I led mechanical design and integration for next-generation satellite
00:31:02.680structures, managed high-pressure anomaly investigations, and defined structural
00:31:08.020interfaces across subsystems. That's what Murat says on his LinkedIn page.
00:31:13.040uh murat and hassan piker were both born in new jersey but they did their primary and their
00:31:20.840secondary schooling in turkey uh murat worked on air force one uh and and you just you have to ask
00:31:29.540i don't know if if murat shares his brother's hatred for america his brother's embrace of
00:31:35.560radical Islam. But given that they have done Hassan Piker's show repeatedly together,
00:31:44.080gone to events together, that is a reasonable inference, and it's a reasonable question.
00:31:48.780And it raises the question, listen, if this is someone that hates America and wants to do
00:31:53.040damage to America, what harm could he do with security clearances working for Boeing and for
00:31:58.260the military on very, very sensitive projects? Yeah, very sensitive projects. And, you know,
00:32:04.460when you look at this it's being exposed i'm glad by the way for the work the washington free beacon
00:32:10.060has done yet again another example senator of a major story that has national security implications
00:32:16.780and the mainstream media just completely looks the other way well they do because they don't
00:32:25.400want to cover this that they don't want to cover the fact and and and understand that that when
00:32:30.680Chuck Schumer, when Abdul El-Sayed had been asked, do they distance themselves from Hassan
00:32:39.060Piker? They consistently say no, that they want these radicals. Here, give a listen to Ro Khanna,
00:32:45.540who is the Democrat congressman being asked if Democrats should distance themselves from
00:32:52.060radical Hassan Piker. You stuck your neck out for progressives like Abdul El-Sayed. You also
00:32:56.420supported Plattner before the allegations came out. You've also stuck your neck out for Hassan
00:33:01.060Piker. And you've seen that Hassan Piker is now being attacked 24-7 on Fox. Here's Haley Stevens
00:33:07.140going on Fox and saying, well, the first thing, you know, how El-Sayed could moderate to voters0.99
00:33:12.620is to get rid of the Piker affiliation. You've seen Neera Tanden retweet Laura Loomer's attack0.95
00:33:18.520on Hassan Piker. Your comment on Hassan Piker, what should the Democrats do with him? Should
00:33:25.260they abandon him do you renounce your support of him you tell me ro give it to me straight
00:33:30.700it's absurd i i mean this these are the same people who were at one point criticizing
00:33:36.880democrats for going on joe rogan i mean remember when bernie went on joe rogan the same the people
00:33:43.240who said oh you can't go on joe rogan these are the same folks who criticized me when i got went
00:33:47.540on ben shapiro should i not go on ben shapiro's podcast because i disagree with him we had an
00:33:53.660a horrible argument on the minimum wage.
00:33:55.820Just because someone is engaging with Hassan Piker,
00:33:59.980who has strong viewpoints on these issues,
