elatively sunny, partially sunny, partially cloudy, mostly cloudy California, Los Angeles folks. We're live and alive. It's 62 degrees here in mostly cloudy California, Los Angeles. And I hope all the boys, girls, and MBs are having a fantastic one. Because today is a beautiful day. Today is a wonderful day. Today is a phenomenal day. Regardless of what those may say. Right, it's fucking Tuesday, lads. I'm not doing a fucking ice, right? It's not. It's Tuesday, though. It's still Tuesday. Obviou
sly, after last night's, did you get the tattoos off? Some of it. It's finally coming out. I scrubbed it so hard in the shower. Anyway, I'm live, I'm alive. This is part of the broadcast where I tell you a little bit about my personal news. I'm not in the mood for a heist today. Ok, don't get mad. It's fucking Tuesday. If you want to fuck, it's fucking Tuesday. If you want to get mad at someone for not doing a fucking heist, right? Get mad at last night's TV broadcast we watched, yeah? About the
fucking lads going to another lads fucking house to eat their own bravo cuisine. Yeah, Robbers gotta take a day off too, right lads? Robbers gotta take a day off too. Off to the races. What was I going to say? Oh, yeah. So, yeah. Personal news wise. Last night, I ended the broadcast. And what did I do? Absolutely, positively nothing. Just played Yakuza. I've been playing Infinite Wealth. Not having Twitter on my phone has dramatically improved my mental state and my sanity in general. Even thou
gh, of course, I still have to go on Twitter for my job and I'm still going on Twitter for my job. Just simply not being on it all the time or having access to it all the time. Yeah, I was in the trenches? Let's not pretend that being a political streamer like Hasan is actually equal to being a funny, silly gamer that such bullshit is only being created or willing to cover in the most important way. Anyone who cares about mental health when it's too late. Thank you. Thank you for being in the tr
enches. Anyway, I haven't touched the trenches at all. I don't know. I feel so bad for you that you had to do such serious coverage with those tests. It would be funny if it wasn't so serious what you covered. Yeah, well, it's fine. They are inevitably going to, they are inevitably going to come off the tattoos. Anyway, what did I do last night? I had my classic, I had my classic dinner breakfast sandwich. After the classic dinner breakfast sandwich, what did I do? What did I get? Um, I played s
ome Yakuza. Went to bed. Woke up. Bear is almost back. Uh, and so is the boys. Which I'm very excited about. And, are you going to do Hogwatch Day? New Walter Mastering video interviewing hogs is awesome. Send it to me. I would love to watch that. Uh, I always am open for Hogwatch, as you know. Well, yeah, I woke up this morning early. I took Kaya to her vet appointment for her ear. Just like daddy, she got a lot of earwax, right? Because she has heavy ears, I guess. And then the vet was like, y
eah, she's fine. It's perfectly fine now. The thing that you use in her ear is good. You just got to clean her ear more frequently. Which is alright, you know, that's great. Immediately they were like, hey, you also need like $800 worth of this, this, this, and that. And I was like, dude, what the fuck? Every time I go to the goddamn vet, dude. Every time I go to the fucking vet, there's like 11 bills that they just strap onto the situation. What's going on? It's like, it's a fleece, dude. It's
a straight up fleecing operation. Goddamn. Anyway, get pet insurance? Nah, whatever. It's fine. It's all good. Obviously. They know you caked up. Yeah, it's $800 for oil change type beat. Oh man, I should be very careful with the parasocialist updates right now because there's probably people waiting to clip something out of context so they can fucking cancel me again. Rich millionaire, billionaire streamer, son of... While I was at the park, she had a great time chasing after dogs, flipped like
eight times while chasing after dogs, which is pretty funny. I saw her literally take a turn, take a corner way too fast, chasing another dog that was just simply way more agile. And she ended up, she ended up like tumbling like down a hill, which was hilarious. It was pretty funny. And then immediately got up like absolutely nothing has happened. You're the worst father telling her embarrassing stories to all your friends. Yeah, well, she's the best. And I love her. So, no Tucker, Lex, in titl
e, Sag. Dude, I feel like a three-hour Lex Fridman, Tucker Carlson convo will brick me, dude. It will break my brain. I don't know how else to describe it, but I mean, sure, we can take a look at it. We do long-form shit. I'm sure there's some interesting highlights there, you know? Well, yeah, we got a lot to talk about today. We have, let me just like write this out as a matter of fact. Dog Kai was chasing with six foot five. Your co-host be posting. That's crazy. Yeah, we're going to do Biden
on Seth Meyer. Hold on. We're going to talk about all of that stuff. All right, let's blast off. Let me blast off real quick. Ok, Tucker V. Licks Friedman. Jon Stewart reacts. Israel-Palestine. Ceasefire possible on Monday? FTC-Kroger block. Michigan primaries. And more. Get in now. We have so much news to cover, so I'm just jumping right into it, folks. We have a lot to talk about today, ok? You are the world's richest, hardest, oligarch, worker, streamer in the world. Thank you, lazy cat owne
r. I'm working extra hard to make sure that people who love rich people and like want corporations to dominate their lives continue fucking voting for the Republican Party and have corporations dominate their fucking lives. You're in the news? What is this? New York Times writer says he was cast out and chastised for naming a Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich as his favorite sandwich. What the fuck? Is this a news story? Why is this a story? HR rep told him, we don't do that here. They hate gay peopl
e. Ok. I have the new Jon Stewart Daily Show. Don't worry. By the way, the Jinxy KCO podcast came out before this drama. They literally talked about how they felt mentally drained after streaming versus their past jobs. All of this drama is so astroturfed, unserious, etc. If you want, I'll get the timestamps. I would love to look at that. Can you cover the EVs? No. Ashley Babbitt would have had those Trump sneakers. Do you think maybe she would have still be with us? Cause she had like better la
teral mobility. Well, the Trump sneakers are high tops. So like you can make more cuts. You can make a lot better lateral mobility, like lateral cuts. So I feel like you're, I feel like you're, you're pushing a strong narrative here. Like, I'm not even kidding. I genuinely think that she would have been able to maybe just like cut away from the gun fire. Is your front hair fucked because of the heat damage? Did you just style it like that? No, this is just what it looks like. I didn't do anythin
g to it. This is like what it looks like after the shower. Um, it could be heat damage. Does it mean like permanently my, the front of my fucking head is busted? I don't know. It looks fine, though. I mean, it did look fine. Now it doesn't. Fuck, I shouldn't have touched it. I can't even fucking see what I look like, so. Good job, Fizz. You fucked me up. Anyway, it's all good. Um, but, uh, where was I? Where was I? Oh, you had a Twitter. Chris Alcicon says, I had a tweet go massive viral on Twit
ter yesterday. Chat might like it. What the fuck? This dude doesn't even follow me. How are you going to be a 25 month, two year subscriber on my fucking Twitch channel and you don't even fucking follow me on Twitter? What the hell? That's crazy, dog. Answer for your crimes right now. You better fucking follow me and retweet this blast off I'm about to cook up. You understand me? That's crazy. That's crazy. BigDawg, just like, I follow your alt law. BigDawg follows my alt, doesn't follow my actu
al account. That's crazy. Anyway, what are you ashamed of me, dude? Is that what it is? Anyway, yeah, there's also a government shutdown too happening potentially, which is, you know, America, baby. Let's go. Your hair looks great, but it does look like you're trying your best to hold on to your 20s, bro. I make no... I regularly talk about how old I am. That's you. You look at what I look like now and go, wow, you look much younger. But you don't have the normal way to like, I guess, go through
that process and be like, oh, you just look much younger. Let me fucking reframe this in a way that is like weird. Anyway, be nice. Counterpoint, I think you've been clearly intentionally dressing more mature lately. Yeah, I've literally started dressing more like, I started dressing with more like, more shirts and more button ups and things of that nature. Specifically because I think like, I should dress my age, I guess, quote unquote. Mike Malak on stream when? Yo, we should do that soon, ac
tually. Anyway, I'm posting it. Alright, ladies and gentlemen, we're blasting out. Biden on Seth Meyers. I'm a Zionist. Tucker vs. Lex Fridman. Jon Stewart is real Palestine. Ceasefire possible on Monday. FTC Croger block. Michigan primaries and more. We have so much to talk about. We have so much to cover today. We got a lot of motherfucking news going on in the world. Hasan, I am 34 and I look like I'm 26 and I dress like I want to be 90. That's kind of swagged out though. The day after your 2
9th birthday, you turn 60. I mean, low key, that is kind of true though. You got to click on that tweet from the non-follower though. It's absolutely insane. Yeah, we'll look at that in a second. Aussie, it's Crozier with a hard G. I don't care. Tiltify said something nice about you on Twitter and IG. Hope you had a good day. Oh, thank you, Tiltify. I'm having a decent day. Anyway, Zuckerberg is in Japan. Son of a bitch. Turning 30 in April. Been watching you since Young Turks. It's crazy how ti
me flies. That's what I mean. When I first started this process, when I first got on Twitch, I feel like my audience was like early 20s. It's been five, six years almost. So now it's like, you know, Mid-20s audience turned into like 30s now. Anyway, I'm 34, look like 25, but I took a lot of acid, so I don't even know if I'm fucking dreaming it. You work out, eat good, you have good genetics, of course you're going to look younger. I do work out and eat good. I don't know about the good genetics,
but anyway, I'm going to Japan this summer. Any recs? Oh, it's the greatest place on the planet and I miss it every day and I want to go back. One day, one day will be the last day I've ever streamed because I will have just moved to Japan, living in the fucking countryside, tending my crop. Dundoco Island style on Infinite Wealth 8 Yakuza. Animal Crossing style. I was 18 when I started watching my freshman year of college. I'm not graduating. We're going to big boy job applying in law school.
Let's go. Congratulations. Nah, you definitely look your age. Don't let these chatters dilute you. You mean elude me, not dilute. My favorite type of, my favorite type of guy in the chat is like, nah, don't under, people are saying you look younger and I don't want you to like feel good about that actually. I'm going to tell you right now, you're fucking old and you look fucking old. I just want to make sure that, uh, you know, you look fucking old. Well, I'm going to vote in Michigan soon. What
's the least corrupt option for me to vote for? It's uncommitted, right? That's the campaign. We're going to be talking about that in a little bit as a matter of fact. Voting uncommitted in the Democratic primaries in Michigan is the messaging campaign that has been cooked up. Zuck is literally stealing two of your press rooms, blacksmith and katanas. That's insane, brother. I hate this so much. He wants to be me so bad. This is the first time I heard you mention quitting streaming at some point
. You always loved it and were addicted to it. I am. I am. I am still addicted to it. You know, whatever. Let me tell you something. If I wasn't so addicted to it, I wouldn't be doing this all the time. Congratulations on number six. We're counting down the top 30 fundraisers of 2023. At number six, we have Hasan Nahan breaking in for the first time in our list. At number six is HasanAbi aka Hasan Piker. Hasan is one of the top streamers on Twitch and widely known as a political commentator. Has
an has not only been behind the scenes as a generous donor to multiple fundraisers we've seen in the top 30, such as Q-Tier Cinderella and C-Dawg VA's events, but has also raised considerable funds to the cause over the past year. Earlier this year, off Tiltify, Hasan raised $1.45 million to support earthquake victims in Turkey. Hasan began his Tiltify fundraising this year by raising funds for the RIPP campaign alongside Level Overruled, bringing us a total of $52,706. Um, anyway. I'm low-incom
e and my medication caused by Uncle Muslim ass. What's the best way to gain weight and maintain it for reference? I'm currently eating like 800 calories a day. Jesus Christ, dude. You got to fucking eat way more. Holy shit. Short Rashida Tlaib video on voting uncommitted. Ok, let's get started. Yeah. Michigan primaries are happening today. And some in Michigan have decided to take a message to the Brandon regime. Rashida's leave is manning the helm here. And urging others that are going out toda
y to vote in the Michigan primaries to go out and simply vote uncommitted. Everyone, it's Rashida. I was proud today to walk in and pull a Democratic ballot and vote uncommitted. We must protect our democracy. We must make sure that our government is about us, about the people. When 74% of Democrats in Michigan support a ceasefire, yet President Biden is not hearing us. This is the way we can use our democracy to say, listen, listen to Michigan. Listen to the families right now that have been di
rectly impacted. She's right. Listen to the majority of Americans who are saying enough. No more wars. No more using our dollars to fund a genocide. No more. So please, take your family members, use our democratic process to speak up about your core values. Where you want to see our country go. I know taking my first time voter, my 18 year old son, To the polls today was so incredibly empowering too, and he felt it. And I told him you right now did it for not only Sidra and Rima, which those ima
ges have never left any of us, but you also did it to protect our democracy. Yep. Realistically, what does this do? I mean, it's simply to say that enough is enough and that this will be a genuine threat to your re-election chances in the general if you don't fucking commit to ending the genocide in Gaza. Right? I remember hearing someone talk about this a while ago, that there are around 200,000 Arab voters in Michigan, the state of Michigan, which of course is not enough to, you know, elect a
candidate, but it certainly is enough to stop one from getting elected. So, that's it. That's what's going on here. It's to basically try and show the administration that we will punish you if you don't do something about this. This is the democratic process. You have to do something about this. We are begging you. And that's understandable. To those who constantly reaffirm the duopoly, I must say, that's undemocratic. The notion that like, oh, we have a democracy here, and if you don't vote for
the Democratic Party, even if they don't give you anything you want, then technically, technically you're voting for the other guy. Oh, ok. Well, all you're doing is further pushing people away from participating in the electoral process to begin with. The notion that our politicians are not supposed to earn our votes, but instead they are entitled to them is a firmly held belief in the Democratic Party. That's how we got Hillary Clinton, and that's how we got Donald Trump. It's very frustratin
g. Very, very frustrating to see. Anyway. One of the strong, um, anyway, here, hold on. I'm talking about the Tiltify tweet. One of the strongest communities on the planet. Beyond. But yeah, um, for the record, before people, uh, earlier people were like, oh man, people fucking hate you. Like, or, or, uh, you get a lot of shit online. Like, how do you deal with it? And there were some questions like that. This is why. This is how. I have the absolute best. Yeah, I agree. We're doing too much com
munism. That's what it is. That's what's going on. Anyway. Yeah, request a democratic ballot when voting uncommitted here. There's been some confusion on what to do when you get to your polling location. Leila's going to share a little bit about what steps you need to take in order to cast your democratic ballot. When you get to your polling location, you need to request a democratic ballot. Once you have your democratic ballot, vote uncommitted. Please make sure you're sharing with all of your
friends to go to your polling location, request a democratic ballot, and vote uncommitted. Hey Michigan, we understand that... If Democrats move any further, if Democrats move any further, right, they'll just run a unity ticket with Trump as a Democratic nominee. But guess what? Ultimately, Democrats win in that situation. So it's a win-win, really. You know? Think about that. It would still be a Democrat winning. It's not about the issues, as we know. It's simply about the aesthetics of the Dem
ocrats winning. I was actually thinking about this in the shower earlier today. I was taking a shower earlier. I was thinking about this because the type of person that loves habitually voting in this country or the type of person that really follows politics because The way that American politics work is just someone who is simply entertained by this prospect, which is why I think it lends itself way more towards people who are personally invested in it as a team sport rather than an extraction
of demands from your elected representatives. Because there is no real extraction of demands, it has not happened in many, many years, and it doesn't seem likely that it will happen anytime soon, that I feel like... I feel as though people that are really invested in politics just simply are invested in it from the perspective of team sports. Which is why they have no, like they don't show any anger or resentment for the most part. When the Democratic Party will be like, we are going to be the
right wing party actually, but still vote for us please. Like we are lapping the Republican Party from the... Anyway, even sports fans yell at their own team because they know what a good game looks like. These types of voters are worse. Yeah, it's just pure sport, but beyond pure sport even. Anyway, alright, well there's a lot going on, so let's do it. President Joe Biden actually went on Seth Meyers last night. Forgetting that you can subscribe for $5 or for free with Twitch Prime. And just si
mply investing your entire personality into defending Israel. Very strange stuff. So, first he started off with the usual silliness. Which, by the way, I'm going to run the three minute ad right now. Ok. And then he went from the usual silliness directly into just like that he's a Zionist. Let's take a look. Ok, let's get some other news. There could be a potential government shutdown once again due to Mike Michael Koch, Michael Johnson. Are you going to play Final Fantasy VII Rebirth? Maybe. A
story you have heard before, the government faces a partial shutdown again. A deadline is just days away now. Nancy Cordes is at the White House where President Biden meets today with leaders from both parties to try to reach a deal. Nancy, here we go again. Good morning to you. Good morning to you, Gayle. New Noah Sampson video. I already watched the Noah Sampson video, which I suspect is part of the reason why there's so many people in here fucking crying. Because Noah Sampson's video mentione
d Destiny. And his fans very famously will swarm any mention, any negative mention of Destiny as a... Well good to see you and you know these meetings tend to happen only when Washington is really in a jam and this is one of those moments. There are just three days left until a partial government shutdown kicks in and some lawmakers predict it's going to happen as hard right conservatives hold up a spending bill over a number of issues including abortion. At the same time, there's this $95 billi
on foreign aid package that has been in limbo for months, but is growing increasingly urgent as Ukraine runs low on artillery. Now, that's a bill that has already passed the Senate, but the Republican speaker has not yet brought it up for a vote in the House. Johnson wants Congress to pass tough new border security measures first, but he rejected a bipartisan Senate deal that would crack down on border crossings. So they're going to talk about all that here at the White House today as well. Pres
ident Biden also going to the border in Brownsville, Texas to sell that deal later this week. He says he didn't realize. I'm losing my fucking mind. I'm losing my mind at him still trying to package this as like a good thing. I mean, just Jesus Christ, dude. This legislation quite, this border legislation quite literally features like key Trump proposals. I don't understand why he is riding so hard to push this. I mean, I do understand it because I don't think they give a fuck and I think they'r
e miscalculating. It's very, very, very dumb. When he made those plans that his Republican rival Donald Trump is also going to visit the border 300 miles away. This looming partial shutdown, by the way, is not a small matter. If Congress doesn't pass a funding bill by Friday, the departments of agriculture, energy, and transportation are all going to run out of money, with the departments of defense and justice set to run out next Friday, Tony. Well, we can hope something gets solved. Nancy, tha
nk you very much. Appreciate it. I want to thank the leadership here today. We've got a lot to figure out how we're going to keep funding the government, which is an important problem, an important solution we need to find, and I think we can do that. And in Ukraine, I think the need is urgent. I hope we get to speak to that a little bit. And I think the consequences of inaction every day in Ukraine are dire. I've been speaking to some of our... God damn, that's a loud ass fucking fire. What's h
appening? Fuck. They spin it as a positive by not explaining what's in the bill and taking the very safe bet that most Americans will also never find out what is in the bill. Even better for them that the bill has no chance of passing. Even, even better because of Republicans. Yeah, but the problem is when you are pushing for a bill like this and you're going to the fucking border to be like, we need border security, you've lost the moral battle. You have now capitulated to white nativist framin
g. That the border and immigration is actually a national security concern. Every American understands that. Every American sees that. So the strategy is not worth it. Unless you do genuinely think that it's a national security concern, I guess. Like, it's not worth to just be like, oh, see, Republicans are hypocrites and don't care. Why? Do you want to know why it's not worth it? Because of course they're fucking hypocrites and don't care. But now you look like a hypocrite. You look like a fuck
ing asshole and a hypocrite for running against the Trump border wall, for running against Trump's immigration policies, only to push for Trump's immigration policies yourself. Our G7 partners, and you just got back, Chuck, they're very concerned, and, uh, Also, we need to, we need to, in terms of supplemental, we need to deal with the Israeli. But that also contains a significant portion. Bro, there's literally hellfire. Having to do with humanitarian assistance in the Palestinian area. And we
have to replenish the air defenses for Israel. And we have to work on making sure they don't face the threat from, can face the threat from what's going on. At least not just from Hamas, but from Iran. And so, and government funding. I'm sure you guys had all of that. I'll take care of it. I'll keep it aside. I think that the Congress has a responsibility to fund the government. We've got to get about doing it. A shutdown would damage the economy significantly. And I think we all agree to that.
And we need a bipartisan solution. So I want to hear from the group. And I want to hear from all of you here. So thank you all for coming. That's what we're going to be talking about. Everything is fire. Everything is fire meme. Georgia governor blames Biden after woman allegedly killed by undocumented immigrants. So the undocumented immigrant, this is the story that I think chatters were talking about. An undocumented immigrant killed a woman in Georgia. So now this singular anecdote is going t
o be a perfect way to reaffirm the narrative that undocumented immigrants are actually a danger. It's a matter of national security. Um, this of course happens from time to time. Undocumented migrants have done crimes in this country, violent crimes as a matter of fact. What you have to look at is not singular anecdotes, but instead the actual data. Ok. Undocumented immigrants, by and large, per capita, cause less crime than natural born US citizens. This is a fact. Singling out one of those ins
tances is no different than acting like it's always trans people that are doing mass shootings. We live in the United States of America, where yes, everyone has a gun, including trans people. But if you look at the actual data overall, definitely not trans people that are doing a shit ton of the mass shootings. Ok? This happens to every marginalized identity and every marginalized group. It does not matter. I don't mean, by the way, in totality. I mean per capita. Of a 22-year-old nursing studen
t in Georgia, Laken Riley, allegedly killed by a migrant. Governor Brian Kemp is now blaming the White House over its border policy. Our senior national correspondent, Steve Osensami, is in Athens, Georgia, with more. Good morning, Steve. Good morning to you, Robin. Authorities say that this young woman died of blunt force trauma and say that the man they have in custody used an object to kill her. Federal immigration authorities have now issued what's called a detainer for this murder suspect,
which had they done earlier, would have kept him from being released after his other arrests. Students at the University of Georgia came together to say good things and to say goodbye to 22-year-old Lakenhope Riley. It is so obvious to me why it feels so dark right now and that is because we lost one of the brightest lights that there's ever been. The nursing student from a school nearby was killed on the UGA campus while she was out jogging last week, and her murder has become a case in point i
n the debate over immigration in America. Police say that her alleged killer is this man, 26-year-old Jose Antonio Ibarra. He's from Venezuela, and according to federal officials, was let go after he was arrested for unlawfully entering the country near El Paso, Texas a year and a half ago. Georgia's governor is demanding answers from President Biden and his immigration authorities. Lakin's death is a direct result of failed policies on the federal level and an unwillingness by this White House
to secure the southern border. Authorities believe Ibarra illegally entered the U.S. in 2022 and has several run-ins with law enforcement since then, but was paroled or released before customs enforcement agents could step in. His brother, who was also arrested for allegedly carrying a fake green card, was also arrested before by local authorities and released. That competing trip that President Biden and former President Trump are taking to the U.S. southern border this week really matters to m
any people, of course, watching this case and to voters this election season. George. Hi everyone, George. OOTL, would this even be a national story if the suspect wasn't illegal? No, of course not. What are you talking about? Like, this does not take away from the devastation, but it absolutely would not make it to national news at all if it wasn't an undocumented migrant. Even an undocumented migrant under other circumstances doing a murder would not make it to liberal side of the mainstream n
ews. Right now, right now, The reason why this is making its rounds through the media cycle is because, I disagree, it was covered by several national outlets before they even called the guy. I think it's because, well yeah, it's a college student getting brutally murdered by someone with, as far as we understand, no motivation that we know of. However, having said that, that kind of stuff usually makes its way, because a college student, that kind of stuff makes its way into local news. Sometim
es it'll get picked up. Sometimes it'll get picked up by national news. But I do think that, I do think that this is like especially important to cover right now, or especially, like the media is especially more interested in covering it right now. Specifically because it's happening at a time of even the Democratic Party basically saying that immigration is a national security concern. Immigration is a security concern. It's also fucked up because it directly claims, or I guess it plays a role
in the Trumpian argument, which is that undocumented immigrants are actually taking advantage of the catch and release policy, even though 98% of those who are apprehended at the border after crossing over to legally seek asylum, And Venezuelans have TPS, Temporary Protective Status, by the way, for political reasons. They attend their court cases to continue legally seeking asylum. So this plays that other role of like, well, this person was apprehended at the border and was allowed to roam fre
e inside of the United States of America. So it's like doubly destructive for the way that migrants are perceived in general. Genuine piece of shit. Guys, there are of course going to be people that do crimes in the millions of people that come over the border. But to present undocumented, like to present this as a different type of murder because it's done by an undocumented immigrant as though like this, the way to stop murder in this country is by shutting off immigration or making more restr
ictive immigration policies is ridiculous. It's just pure politics. That's it. It's also against the, like the narrative is a good one to write for the media, but it is completely devoid of any sort of factual analysis. This is in line with what Trump said, new type of crime being illegal immigrant crime. Yeah, especially considering that the stats show that undocumented immigrants are responsible for less crime per capita than natural born U.S. citizens. So, um... It is a way to not look at the
empirical evidence and instead look at anecdotes that are supposed to create an impassioned response, understandably. It kind of sounds like you're saying we already have crime, what's wrong with more crime? No, I'm not saying that. That is, why do you think that I'm saying that? Unless you personally think that I'm in favor of like random college students getting fucking brutally murdered horrifically. The underlying premise here that allowed you to arrive at this conclusion is your own person
al biases against me. I want to solve the crisis of crime. I recognize that crime is a product of our material conditions. Any other way to try and quote unquote solve crime, like pointing this to immigration, pointing the finger of blame at immigration protocols is actually unproductive and shifts the responsibility away from the actual reasons as to why crime occurs. That's it. That's like saying stop having babies because some will do crimes. Yeah. Anyway, this is some good news. FTC, Lena Ka
hn, doing it yet again. Fighting the Kroger Albertson mega merger. Kroger and Albertson for the Southwestern and Western Front are the two primary major supermarket chains. For those of you on the East Coast, you've probably never maybe encountered Kroger or Albertson or any of their subsidiaries. But, these are the two major national chains that have a shit ton of other chains underneath them. And there's Kroger's and Pia- Ok, Kroger. Oh my god, I don't care. Kroger, Kroger. English is such a d
umb language phonetically. It's like, anyway. There are Albertson subs out east. Ok. What I was trying to say, before getting rudely interrupted. Yes, Albertson owns Vons also. So, they want to merge for obvious reasons. And their claim is, Kroger and Albertson's claims are, that they cannot compete with the national supermarket chains like Walmart and Amazon. And the only way for them to continue surviving is by merging. Ok, now what's really interesting about this FTC fight is that three diffe
rent states have launched lawsuits against this merger and the FTC isn't advocating antitrust on this on the most notorious way since the Reagan era where you can advocate for antitrust which is the consumer experience. In the United States of America, after the 80s, but especially so after Ronald Reagan, we changed the way that we analyze trusts and trust busting. We decided that the only way, the only way that you can go after a monopoly is if they are actually hurting the consumer. If the pri
ces stay low, you can do whatever you want. You can become a monopoly. But this is being... This is being legislated or not legislated, but like this is being targeted. This trust busting is being targeted on the labor side because this merger is functionally creating a singular buyer of resources, specifically labor. So this is actually not just a historic FTC fight for going against two massive mega corporations trying to engage in a mega merger. Is that they are doing it on pro-union grounds.
They're claiming that they are unionized shops and their competition, Walmart and Amazon, are not. Now of course, that's a ridiculous fucking proposition considering that this mega merger would make it so that unions have less leverage against the mega corporation that would form. Let's continue. Block the largest grocery store merger in American history. The Federal Trade Commission, along with several states, are suing to stop the proposed $25 billion deal between Kroger and Albertson. Jolene
Kent is tracking this would-be merger. Jolene, good morning to you. So, why are regulators stepping in here? Hey Tony, good morning. The FTC argued that the merger of Kroger and Albertsons would be bad for competition, lowering worker wages at the grocery store, and driving up the cost of food, which has soared since the pandemic, thanks to inflation. Now last year, grocery prices went up by 5%, you probably felt that, roughly double the 20-year average. Are union rep where I worked actively to
ld us to vote for our most recent contract or quit? Yes, not all unions are equal. And as far as I understand, I don't want to misspeak here, but as far as I understand, a lot of the supermarket unions that exist are like managerial unions, as in not a union for managers, but a corporate union, more so interested in looking like a union, but is completely captured by the interests of the capital owning class. This is what I have heard. A lot of people, a lot of customers. That's the government's
view you just laid out. What are the companies saying? Yeah, they say that this bigger footprint that they want to achieve would help them better compete against the big behemoths like Walmart and Costco and Amazon. In a statement, Albertson said it's disappointed that the FTC is using, quote, the same outdated view of the U.S. grocery industry that it used 20 years ago. Both companies argue this merger would lower prices for consumers and Create good paying union jobs, although the union that'
s representing the workers from both of those grocery chains opposes this merger, saying the companies have not been transparent enough in this deal. So of course, this is the latest mega merger that you're hearing about. The Biden administration's FTC has consistently been stepping in to stop these mergers and they consistently are citing antitrust law. Jolene saying grocery as a person from Minnesota while I say grocery. Subtle difference, but this is a geographic difference. Once you hear it,
you can't un-hear it. Jolene Kent, thank you very much. Those Midwest vibes. How would it possibly lower prices unless they allow half the combined staff? I mean, it's the same exact way that Amazon is able to maintain lower prices. We don't need mergers. We need to break up these bigger businesses to add to innovation and lower prices. Yes. Would shit like this get passed under Trump? Um, yes. It depends on, it depends on how much Trump has gutted the FTC at that point, but most likely. Yeah.
I have always maintained the position that Biden's agencies, Biden's federal agencies have basically propped up this administration's every big W. Ok. The NLRB, the FTC, they are doing actually great work overall. This is a historic moment. Lena Khan has done historic things. This is the other often forgotten side of politics that I regularly talk about. The people that make everything work behind the scenes. Also, I didn't know that the grocery, grocery thing was a real thing. I just say grocer
ies. Isn't it groceries? You hear it, you can't. Subtle difference. Grocery, as a person from Minnesota, while I say grocery. Subtle difference. In the Republican race, former President Donald Trump is expected to dominate his former UN ambassador, Nikki Haley, but she is still vowing to push on regardless. Ed O'Keefe is with the voters in Detroit. Ed, good morning. Should be an interesting day in Michigan. Hello. Well, good morning. Michigan is a key battleground state that's going to be pivota
l to both parties later this fall. So today's a good test of how the most committed voters on either side are feeling. It's great to be here in Michigan. Campaigning on the eve of the Republican primary, Nikki Haley's expected to lose to Donald Trump, but she isn't going without a fight. If he ends up being the nominee, do you support him? I'm fighting to make sure he's not the nominee. I don't think he or Joe Biden should be president. I think it's a problem for our country if it goes either wa
y. President Biden's also facing a key test here, because in Michigan, primary voters have the option of voting uncommitted to oppose candidates on the ballot. It's an option favored by many progressives and Arab and Muslim Americans, like Lexus Zaydan, who's been calling voters to build support. Our goal is to organize enough people behind the vote uncommitted box to send a message to Biden. The city of Dearborn has one of the highest percentages of Arab Americans in the country and their polit
ical leaders. All Democrats strongly oppose the president's support for Israel in its war with Hamas. Voting uncommitted is our way of practicing a principled politics. And that means people over party. And Dan B means people over president. Please, don't make us more invisible by not showing up. Vote, please. Among those voting uncommitted, Adam Abusala, a 2020 Biden campaign volunteer. We first met him in November. As a community, we're tired of voting for the lesser of two evils. And now, Abu
sala says he hopes the president gets the message. So we're going to let him know that we are going to go out and vote not only now but in November as well. And Mr. Biden may be listening. He spoke about the Israel Hamas ceasefire negotiations yesterday while taping a late night show at an ice cream shop. My national security advisor tells me that we're close. We're close. We're not done yet. And my hope is by next Monday we'll have a ceasefire. The Biden campaign says it understands the concern
s of those that are thinking about voting uncommitted, but many of his supporters here say any vote against the president this fall could put Donald Trump back in the White House. Yeah, that is the risk for those voting uncommitted and risking not voting in the fall. I don't know if Donald Trump is going to be better on Israel than Joe Biden from their perspective, but Ed, thank you for laying all that out for us. So looking ahead... Do you think there will be actually a ceasefire? Will Netanyah
u say no? Do I want to keep doing genocide? I don't know. I don't know why Joe Biden is saying this now. I assume that... I don't know what Israel will do. It's just like... If Joe loses, it's the fault of him and the DNC. I don't get why that's so hard for Libs to understand. Well, they rely on not understanding. Head to Michigan, Katty K and then Adrian. I think the vote uncommitted thing is such a fucking banger overall. Something that I have regularly advocated for is to demand concessions f
rom your politicians. And here it is. A campaign like this that started off out of nowhere getting mainstream coverage. Saying this is going to hurt Joe Biden's chances. Saying that this is actually pushing Joe Biden to turn Michigan into contested territory. That's actually huge. I mean, this is massive. Genuinely different from the way that the media refused to cover the perspective of voters in general. Single-issue voters are never shamed except when it's Muslims. Yeah, the irony is single-i
ssue voters are... Here's the lie, and this is a lie that, and this is an overall pretty good speech from Biden, I'll admit. But here's the lie that everyone tells you, ok? The ballot is sacred. Ok, if the ballot is sacred, then why aren't you literally doing like 15th century style tribunals As you fucking dump Republicans in the water to see if they float or otherwise they are literally witches and you cast them out to die for everything that they have done to make sure that Americans can't vo
te. If it's so fucking sacred, then defend it like it is. But no, that's the reality. That's the lie that they tell you because it's not fucking sacred and they don't give a shit. If it was so goddamn sacred, they would have lined up Supreme Court justices and put them under the same level of scrutiny of a church tribunal, Ok? When the Supreme Court of the United States dismantled the Voting Rights Act, allowing states to do whatever the fuck they want to make sure that black people can't vote,
they should have been tried, Ok? What's up? What the fuck is up? So maybe it's not fucking sacred. Because you can't sit here and lie to me about the sanctity of an individual vote cast while the other side literally straight the fuck up denies that very basic right to American citizens and tries to justify it by saying that the integrity of our elections are under threat. You can't, either you're lying about the sanctity of the ballot, or it's sacred and you're doing nothing. And that's it. You
can't say that the vote is a sacred process, these institutions are sacred, and then turn around and jerk each other off when half the fucking people sitting next to you inside of those halls, those sacred halls, are literally directly responsible for these fucking hogs penetrating those walls itself. This is on January 7th, 2021. Capital storming aftermath. You missed that Trump cutout. I gifted it to Maya. I think it was Maya for Alvarez for the Alvarez sanctuary. Damn, did you actually play
Rust that day? I did. You have to keep going. It's amazing. I didn't. These guys didn't fucking come out of nowhere. Like this guy, this guy lives in Arkansas. Ok, Richard Beagle Barnett lives in Arkansas and he has a glass and glazing company. Ok, that motherfucking small business tyrant flew from Arkansas to Washington DC to storm the halls of Congress. Where did he get that idea? Huh? Where the fuck did he get that idea? Who told him that this is allowed and justifiable? Those very same fucke
rs who sit next to you that you do business with every day in those very same halls of Congress. Don't tell me about the fucking sanctity of these institutions. Don't tell me about the sacred halls and the As we destroy the rest of the planet so that the military-industrial complex can generate a tidy profit while we literally fucking throw Don't talk to me about the fucking sanctity of the halls of Congress when the only time that these fucking pieces of shit unite is literally when it comes to
benefiting the interests of the corporations of the wealthy with a little bit of fucking breadcrumbs to you. Congress, so important. No Congress. It's a House of Lords. Can you be more angry more often? I'm tired, dude. Hire someone to make a searchable database of your old takes so you can just play clips and give your voice a rest, King. I mean, Little Bear does that specifically. This is what happened just now. But, um... Wow, Hasan, why are you always consistent? Weird how your haters keep
saying you're becoming more alt-left. Yeah. I am already angry. Anyway, we'll do a little bit of hog watch and have fun in a second. Let's hear what Morning Joe has to say about the uncommitted voters. Are some of the concerns we've talked about here, given the war with Israel, a big issue for President Biden? Yeah, look, I think grief runs in concentric circles, right? And for people who are living in Michigan, who are Arab American, who are Palestinian American, who have actually family member
s in Gaza, Yeah, this isn't going to go away very soon. I think there are lots of groups who are disaffected with Joe Biden at the moment who may well come back to vote for Democrats in November. But if you've lost a mother or you've lost a father or if you've lost a grandparent or you've lost a child, it takes a long time. And they're not going to forget what's happening in Gaza very quickly. And I'm hearing it from Arab American friends. I'm hearing it from Palestinian friends. This is deeply
personal to them. So you may well see a largest group of uncommitted voters. I don't think those voters are necessarily going to vote for Donald Trump. In Israel, with Netanyahu kind of a difficult challenge for President Biden. How is the administration doing in terms of trying to counter some of these very deep resentments and feelings among American voters, Arab American voters? I think it's important to know that they are taking a two-track process here. As we noted in the previous hour, you
've got Jake Sullivan, Tony Blinken, some real seasoned veteran pros who are traveling to the Middle East constantly, you know, doing, you know, behind the scenes diplomacy in a very effective way. At the same time, of course, the administration, the campaign is really trying to reach those Arab American voters and trying to have at least a dialogue going on. So I think when we see what happens in Michigan today, it's going to give, number one, the campaign a roadmap. I feel like an uncontested
primary where there is still some level of contention implies that the current administration is doing a horribly bad job of managing any conflict, really. There is no opposition. That's crazy that they're still like, well, they're going to look at what the primary voters are saying and doing. It's like, that's insane. There's no fucking Bernie Sanders. There's no valid. There is no valid second candidate at play. You're basically losing a race to yourself. It's pretty wild that that is what is
going on currently. Hasan, what would you say to the people that say Biden's current presidential track record in terms of policy, jobs, and economy, in terms of metrics, is doing well? There are definitely areas where Biden is, and I say this in all sincerity, more progressive than every other contemporary Democratic Party president, and of course the Republicans as well. This much is true. There has not been a single president that was actively a president that walked on a fucking picket line.
Ok, now obviously there's a low bar to clear, but that's still important. However, metrics, unfortunately, I guess, for the Democratic Party defenders, do not mean anything for the broader majority of voters. And more importantly, you are ruining Your own personal legacy by getting caught up in a genocidal campaign as you demonstrate your inability to read the fucking room, one, and you demonstrate your inability to manage that conflict, showcasing to the voters that you, they are correct in th
eir assumption of your number one insecurity, your age. You're asleep on the wheel. This is the major problem that people have. That is why a couple months back when New York Times polled people that the nameless, lifeless, faceless Democrat, whoever that candidate may be, was outperforming Biden by 18 points. That's devastating. That means that people don't necessarily hate the Democratic Party's policies, but they hate the one Democrat that is supposed to be championing those policies. Often t
imes this distinction is a consistent phenomena, the idea that like people don't really like the Democrats that they put into positions of power but they like the progressive policies that Democrats supposedly champion, right? You see that in ballot initiatives where like a ballot initiative that's super progressive will get a lot more of the vote than either of the candidates. So, progressive ballot initiatives are more popular than any politician, yes. But, the progressive politicians that cha
mpion those initiatives are not. But what you have to remember, oof, what you have to understand, what you have to remember is that 18 point differential is massive. So, It's obvious to me that people are not looking at the metrics. People are not looking at Biden's performance. People are looking at Biden's age and seeing Biden's performance as a byproduct, I guess, of him having more competent people around him. But in an endless media cycle of Israel bombing Gaza and killing thousands, tens o
f thousands of Palestinians, you have to recognize that Biden's assessment and the way that he has publicly dealt with and failed to deal with adequately with Israel's genocidal campaign is making people think that he is old, is reminding people rather that he is old. Trump leads Biden by 10% on Israel. Think about that. Is that because people think that Donald Trump would be less bloodthirsty, less violent on Israel? No. But at least people think that he would be consistent on it. American vote
rs are dumb. They don't vote on politics. They don't vote on policies. They vote on vibes. They vote along party lines, but they also vote on vibes. That number, to me, shows that the major point of contention that they have with Brandon in this regard on Israel is his inconsistency, what he is saying in public, being like, oh, we gotta stop it, cut it out, Jack, while simultaneously funneling weapons into Israel. This is also frightening. Even though it's a solid blue state, Biden beat Trump by
23%. Now he's only leading in the polls by 12. Yes, the Anna Research poll in New York shows Biden beating Trump by 12 points only. By 12 points. Part of the reason why I assume the Democratic Party sees those numbers and they go, Oh, it's because of the migrant crisis. What it actually is, is a one, a crisis of incompetence. A crisis within the lack of adequately countering Republican reactionary propaganda on immigration and basically Biden being the worst person for the job. And the more New
York and New York politicians specifically the Democrats normalize the phenomenon of crime being a genuine problem and Republican framing on issues and adopting those stances. Normalizing said underlying premise. Calcifying it. Saying that this is real. Actually, crime is a fucking real problem. And I'm the guy who's going to fund the police. Not the Republicans. You don't end up actually winning over voters in that situation. It's the exact opposite. You end up normalizing that position so vot
ers go... Ok, well I'm going to go with the guy who's always been anti-crime and loves the police. Not you, who now are seemingly recognizing that there's an issue, but you're not even fucking doing anything about it, and you haven't done anything about it. Voters continue to support the US calling for a permanent ceasefire and de-escalation of violence in Gaza. This includes 77% of Democrats, 69% of Independents, and 56% of Republicans. Meanwhile, look at this fucking idiotic messaging. Scoop,
the Biden administration gave Israel until mid-March to sign a letter that provides assurances that it will abide by international law while using US weapons and allow humanitarian aid to Gaza. Until mid-March to abide by international law is a little odd, no? That's the most you're going to get out of someone like Chris Hayes, by the way. Damn, that got taken down fast. What the fuck? Or I guess it's like the end of that clip. Furthermore, Biden is consistently underperforming Senate candidates
in swing states. Oh yeah, that's another thing. Yeah. So no, no, no. It was, it was, uh, it's a, it's a short, it's not like the main piece. I think the main piece on, uh, last week tonight is on something else. The end of the clip is the end of the clip. Um, Biden is underperforming his party in Wisconsin. Trump versus Biden. Trump is plus three Hovde versus Baldwin. Baldwin is at plus seven in Arizona. I guess this guy is a glass half full kind of guy. Three big details here. Biden's camp is
freaking out about the uncommitted vote. This is Branko Marsetic who writes for the Jacobin. It is what motivated his ceasefire announcement yesterday. Three Biden aides are keeping him in a bubble, which is why he didn't engage with Muslim and Arab leaders there for a while. Biden is outwardly playing it cool. He hasn't been to Michigan since February 1st, but his allies in the state say that behind the scenes there's panic at the White House and inside the Biden re-election campaign. They are
freaking out about the uncommitted vote, said a Democrat close to Biden. I know that they're freaking out about the uncommitted vote because they literally even had an anti-Dean Phillips arrangement in the first primary that took place. That was of note. I think, wasn't it New Hampshire? Where they had like a super PAC basically try to push for as many Biden votes as possible, which was ridiculous to begin with because he wasn't really fucking, you know, he wasn't really up against anybody at al
l. Biden quietly recorded a couple radio interviews that aired yesterday to boost Democratic turnout and he used his trip to 30 Rock to assure the public that a ceasefire, at least a temporary one, is right around the corner. After wrapping the interview with Myers, the two hit a nearby ice cream parlor and Biden said he hoped for calm by Monday. Almost every single committed Democratic Party voter basically wants there to still be a ceasefire. It's crazy. It is being propped up by Brandon's own
fucking narcissistic desires, it seems. It took Biden a long time to engage in personal outreach to Muslim and Arab leaders in the state and that occurred only after lobbying by elected officials, one of whom said Biden's aides were keeping him in a bubble. People in Michigan politics That he thought that no strike would happen. And he didn't listen. Until it was far too late. And then, he changed his perspective. Big Gretch is still trying to help him, but she's still like, I don't know, dog.
Yeah. Ro Khanna, who officers as a liaison between the White House and progressives, visited Michigan and was struck by the intensity of anti-Biden sentiment. There's a deep sense of hurt and loss, pain and grief among the Muslim and Arab American community and the progressive community, Khanna said. Biden basically looked at Biden's people, not Biden himself, Basically looked at the calculation that was in front of him and thought, well, all these moderates are coming for me, which is good, rig
ht? They care about democracy and they think that Trump is going to destroy it because he keeps saying he will, right? And forgot that, like, there are so many former Biden votes. That come from every camp that he has left behind. You know, just all of the young voters that were already reluctant to want to vote for Biden. Just basically telling him, eh, it's fine. You'll be alright. Thinking that people will just simply forget about Israel's ongoing continued ethnic cleansing campaign happening
with America's go-ahead and American weapons by the time November comes around. It is nutty. The New York Times did a daily piece on it, which was crazy. The uncommitted voters. The war in Gaza turned this long-time Michigan Democrat against Biden. She knows the stakes. She loathes Donald Trump. But Terria Wall says she won't back President Biden in November. I synced this so well, it looks like it's the real song. Who is it saying? Is it Saddam is gay? Oh, he's saying I have a dream that I was
gay. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. This is literal brain cancer, Emhud. What the fuck are you doing? Wait, is this the Tesla thing that Israelis did to like bring the hostages home or something? That was discrimination. Right. That was gay. I have a dream that no one will see the top of the hour ad break, which is three minutes long at the top of the hour. Shout out to his family. Dude, this is literally like, this is sissy hypno, I think. Yeah, why does it go so fucking hard, dude? Not harder than t
he three minute ad break if you're unsubscribed though at the top of the hour. Here's the three minute ad break now. A wild Tim Kaine in the membrane appears. Oh, I saw this earlier. I was going to talk about this. Senator Tim Kaine to the Biden admin. If you're defending the commercial ships of other nations, it is laughable to call that self-defense. Referring to US attacks on Yemen. Tim Kaine in the membrane. Tim Kaine in the motherfucking brain. Hasanabi had Tim Kaine coming in with a Hasana
bi take. I wonder if they will call him a terrorist. I wonder, perhaps he's too white to be considered a terrorist, but what do I know? I have grave skepticism about what we are doing right now. I have grave skepticism about the legal authorities. I have grave skepticism about the absence of true shared responsibility. I think we've all conceded that there is no congressional authorization for these hostilities. The hostilities definition under the War Powers Resolution has clearly been met when
we're talking about 200 attacks on Houthis. We're losing troops, they're losing civilian casualties and others. This is hostilities. There's no congressional authorization for them. To claim that this is covered by Article 2 self-defense, Article 2 self-defense means you can defend U.S. personnel, you can defend U.S. military assets, you probably can defend U.S. commercial ships, but the defense of other nations' commercial ships in no way, and it's not even close, that's not self-defense under
Article 2 of the Constitution. And a president can't make it self-defense by calling another nation a partner. If you're defending the commercial ships of other nations, it is, in my view, laughable to call that self-defense. And so, a narrow mission to defend US shipping, both military and commercial, that is Article 2 self-defense. But broader efforts to defend commercial ships of other nations, while it might be strategically a good idea, there's no constitutional authorization that would al
low a president to do that unilateral. Dude, what the fuck is going on with this tanky dude? Tanky, pro-Houthi, pro-terrorist. He's probably an Islamist fundamentalist who wants to, like, do bad things to gay people, I assume. And second, taking offensive actions and striking targets within Yemen to degrade... My man looking real Hamas right now. You're just bad at working things. What? Rearrange his name. It makes, I'm tanky. Tim Kaine, I'm tanky. Oh my God. It's an anagram. It sounds like Tim'
s only position is America bad. Yeah, it does. It does. You hate to see it, folks. You hate to see it. This, these guys, they only do, they only do this kind of thing. Um, Israel's ready to pause this war in Gaza during Ramadan. We already covered all that. Alright, let's move on to, oh, here is Jinxy and KCO talking about streaming and the trials and tribulations of streaming. Job is secure, but it really, no job is like really that secure. You could always lose your job. For those of you who d
on't know, these are the two biggest streamers on the planet right now. They came basically out of nowhere, blew the fuck up, and popped off, and they're killing it. Keizo and also Jinxy. Keizo does a lot more variety. Jinxy, on the other hand, is a Rainbow Six Siege streamer originally. And it's biggest dude, be nice to Keizo. Ok, Jesus Christ. Um, but yeah, it is, I have a lot of respect for both of them. Um, I think that they, they, they did it. They did the damn thing. People have been talki
ng about TikTok conversions for quite some time. They were the ones who actually were able to make it happen. And, um, they're blowing up. The fact that, the fact that this dude though, like, especially Jinxy, like he played fucking Rainbow Six Siege, a game that, Cut like some grass, for example, you know what I mean? I'd go work, I'd go cut grass for like two hours in like a hundred degree heat, weed eating ditches and all that, mowing, and they'd pay me 40 bucks. Yeah. And that was like, this
is good money. But you know, it's like, like you said, you get burnt out. It's like, dude, I'm literally over here like, Yeah, and it makes you think like, because like I always want to be like really grateful, but it makes me think like someone today woke up and worked like the most grueling job ever. Yes, they did. For like just enough to put food on the table. And then it's like, I'm like, it's weird because I'm doing, I'm just starting upstream. And it's like, you know what I mean? It's rea
lly trippy. Yeah. And again, it's like, you know, it makes you wish everybody could like do something that they love to do every day. You know what I mean? Because And they're just saying it. They're saying it in a way that is like infinitely more accessible to the layman. It's awesome. For example, like, dude, this whole life. Same with my dad. Yeah, just working. He's had multiple back surgeries, multiple wrist surgeries, multiple foot surgeries, all from just working his whole life. You know
what I mean? And it can break you down, bro. It really can. Yeah, I'm also getting very tired of hearing how fortunate all these people are, honestly. I don't know why you're getting mad at this. He's literally, this is my take. Like, I mean, they are in agreement with the exact same fucking take, which is that, like, we are profoundly fucking fortunate people who recognize our privilege, and yet it still sometimes gets fucking tiring and cumbersome in a very different way. No, yeah, but like, y
eah, because obviously, I mean, you love streaming, right? Oh, yeah. I mean, yeah. So, like, could you see yourself streaming in like 10 years, realistically? 10? 10. Ooh. It's hard to think, right? That is, like, 10 years is a long time. Yeah. Um... Hopefully, yeah. What about you? You think? Yeah, no, I mean, hopefully I am streaming in like 10 years. The thing is, it's like, with streaming, it's so, not that it's like demanding like physically, but like sometimes it is draining, like mentally
, of like, bro, you know what I mean? Like, I gotta like put on another like really, like really good stream every night, right? Yeah, I figure on like year 10, you'd be like taking it a lot more easy. Yeah, I feel like year 10, I'd be streaming twice a week. 90% of the manufactured drama online is caused by whether or not people like you. That's it. That's it. Like, that's it. And they're right. They're correct. What they're saying is correct. And that's why I get so mad. I don't get mad at the
people that see the Twitter clip out of context and get fucking mad at me. Because like, they're doing shit fucking jobs that they hate. And they're like, fuck this privileged asshole. How dare he fucking say that streaming is more difficult than a real job. I don't think that. Even the fact that I called it a real job implies that streaming is not a fucking real job. Like, I differentiate it. So I don't, I totally understand and I think it's valid for a person in a really awful situation A Lud
ba named Bondi made a vid compiling streaming data and you and Jinxy were two to three people who streamed more than 345 days in 2023. In terms of days work, you work way more than average 95 workers. It doesn't matter. Like our work is not real work. And it's also, I choose, I choose how to, um, I choose how to do it. They said the same thing, but they worded it better. They never made the comparisons. Yes, they did. They're literally making the comparison right now. They're talking about how l
ike, uh, how like streaming also has its fucking downsides. Like that's what they're talking about. They started off by talking about how fucking awful real work is. Something that I've talked about quite a bit. Now, the point is, and the reason why I'm mentioning this is because it's correct. That's why I get so fucking mad at like YouTubers who are like, oh, I am also going to voluntarily lean into this like obviously clipped out of context take against the dude, myself, who has done a shit to
n of real world impact in the field of labor. But ultimately, it doesn't matter because a lot of this stuff is just purely motivated by whether you like the person saying it or not. That's it. I wouldn't be an organizer if it weren't for you in this community. Fuck what anyone says. That's why I do it. That's also the reason why. That's also the reason why I don't stop and do it nonstop. Do you understand? I have enough. If I were to be like, you know what, fuck this shit. Fuck this shit. I'm do
ne. I'm sick and tired of it. I could just fucking stop and make my money work, which is what many people do. And no one even questions the ethics of such things. That is what the expectation is. The reason why I do what I do is because, one, I love what I do. I'm profoundly fortunate and I recognize it every fucking day. Literally all the time. Well, there's other reason. The other reason why I don't fucking... The other reason why I don't stop is because of people like this. Because they reall
y want me to. But the major reason is because I want to have a space for people that are questioning the way things work. And I feel like I have cultivated a relatively sizable community of like-minded individuals or people who are at least curious about... The conditions that we experience, the conditions that we live under, and I want to make sure that people recognize that the real villains are not necessarily other people. They're not Mexicans. They're not immigrants. They're not trans peopl
e. It is the structure itself that is fundamentally broken. So I get the resentment that a lot of people have. I still think it's misguided, but I understand where it comes from. That's it. I personally think that deep down inside, no matter what, and I'm being very honest here, maybe we'll laugh at that, but I think that what I do matters a little bit to some people. And it's not just being able to fundraise on a whim for issues that this community cares about. It's the fact that I'm only one p
erson, but this community has a lot of people that have went on to become labor organizers. That's it. It's ironic because I also have a lot of fucking like actual working people in this audience. I'm a union steward because of you. See, this is what I mean. Like, I love stories like this. Anyway, you were a big inspiration for me to run and win for a city council seat four years ago. So yeah, that's why I do what I do. And that's why I will continue doing what I do, regardless. Obviously, I am
phenomenally, phenomenally privileged, insanely lucky. It is something that I recognize every single fucking day. I hope that... I hope that these guys don't actually change their perspective as they get more and more successful because the further you move away from like the trials and tribulations of a normal existence, the more out of touch you do become. As streamers, we all go through that cycle and it's very very hard to maintain your grounding. Anyway, I am happy though that these guys ha
ve experienced meteoric success, especially because they seem very reasonable and very grounded. You worked at, um, you worked maintenance and you worked at like a rice mill or something? Yeah, worked at a rice mill for three and a half years and worked, worked at a water department. Literally, oh. What was your least favorite job ever? Rice mill. It literally had me morbidly depressed. It was to the point where I would clock out of work on Friday, be off on a weekend and literally You'd have to
break the lid off the sewer tank and literally reach your arm down. We're talking like dookies. Dookie. Straight dookie action. Ah. Straight. Yeah, I think the major difference here is that in that clip of a moment, I wasn't talking about how fucking gruesome other jobs are in general, which I always expect is a given that people know my position on. But if you don't know, then yeah, you're going to be like, this guy, fucking asshole, thinks streamers have it worse than people working in the re
al world. On everything I love you got tissues in there get like hepatitis. You see like a needle or something in there. We would literally be at work diving in like sewer tanks, bro. People just took a dump and it's right there floating. It's a, it's basically just a grocery store, but that was like the first, what is like your go-to grocery store? Go-to grocery store is, um. Well, I go to Walmart. Walmart. No, Sam's is goaded. Sam's is goaded. Yes, Sam. Yes, Sam's is goaded. Yeah, I love Sam's
, dude. You can go in there and get anything. Yeah. No, but I, I literally was like, I wanted to work at Publix and I'm, thank God that I got like declined. Cause I feel like if I worked there, I wouldn't have as much time to stream. That was when I was still streaming to like, you know, two viewers. So like, I was just looking for like anything to do, you know what I mean? Yeah. But I mean, it lined up for a reason. Yeah. You know what I mean? So it's a good thing. Public subs are pretty good,
but Wawa is still better. We did get declined, which at the time it probably wasn't, but. Yeah. I guess in the long run, obviously it was. Did you like, when you were in school, did you miss like a lot of days? I missed so much school, bro. I would like just, especially senior year, I was never there. I worked at Publix from 14 to 17. Sucks the owners are January 6th funders and psychos though. That's not surprising. That makes a lot of sense. Seem like a chicken strip sandwich kind of guy. Oh,
fuck yeah, I am. These motherfuckers are more in touch with the common person than me, dog. I'm genuinely surprised. Yes, because people only fucking see the high notes of streaming. These guys, a year ago, where, I don't know what their numbers looked like a year ago, but like two years ago, these guys were literally doing the things that they're talking about right now. That's why. That's why they're super in touch. Because their meteoric rise, their meteoric rise to fame in the most explosive
ways came relatively recently and relatively fast. Or at least it seems like that to us that, because we're looking at it from the outside. You know what I mean? But that's what it is. Like, Jinxy streamed to 10 people for two years. Exactly. That's what I mean. Like, you're... Hasan, why do you say you're out of touch? Well, I'm out of touch because of my financial circumstance. But I do think that one thing that keeps me a little bit more grounded is the constant communication I have with peo
ple that are in dire circumstances as opposed to like only having streamer friends and only playing video games. You know what I mean? This isn't to say that I'm not. He said very specific. But I'm not doing anything that's different. Why did you say you're cooked? I'm not doing anything different than what I would be doing or what I was doing really. This is the Tucker Lex shit. How big was your trust fund? Dude, so big. Hashtag cancel socialist. Trust my baby. So big, dude. So big, I don't eve
n know how big it is. Because I've never seen it. But one day. People are saying that I have one. Maybe one day I'll find out. Jinxy said he loves capitalism because it breeds innovation on the next step with Charlie. Yes, dude. Also, one, 22 years old. And two, that is the most normal position to have. He's done. Done it again. No, but that unironically. Ok, guys. Be normal, as I always say. Be fucking normal. Jesus Christ. Walter Mastin's out there doing the damn thing. Talking to MAGA voters.
Here is Hogwatch once again. I think my daughter should be learning what consent is. No, that's ridiculous. Does anyone care about the migrant crisis in this country? Has anyone personally been affected by it? How has it affected you personally? It hasn't. So what's happened to you? Well, nothing personally. If Democrats do somehow steal this election again, there will be a civil war. So you would support, like, healthcare for all? I guess I would, yeah. Taylor Swift is a psyop. Yes. That's rig
ht, baby. Ok, there you go. There's the Walter who knows how to say words. We're taking this country back. Michigan, baby. Michigan. It could be colder. Donald Trump said it himself when he quoted Second Chronicles 714, which is one of my favorite verses on the Bible. It says that if my people, which are called by my name, will humble themselves. Being humble really is important. It's number one. The Bible says, the Bible says he doesn't humble you. The Bible asks you, God says, asks us to humbl
e ourselves and his ability. Donald Trump, famously humble guy. When I think of words to describe the former president of the United States of America, humble is the one that comes to mind immediately, I think. That is precisely the one I think of, humble. And also, the second word that comes to mind is how not self-interested he is, how selfless he is. Bro, regular old Joe. No, that's not, is that him? We'll know if it's his plane because it says Donald Trump on it. Yeah. Which is very humble.
I'm sorry, wait, we were talking about humility? Yes. So yeah, humility. So the Bible calls us to actually humble ourselves. You don't need to be teaching children about consent. I think these teachers are predators. These teachers are predators for teaching. That's it. Yeah. They're teaching my daughter about consent. Consent? The consent about... What is consent? Without your parents knowing what the teachers are doing? The sexual term? I didn't know. Yeah, like, you know what consent is? Oh,
ok. So consent is like, you know, like if someone is gonna... Putting a banana in... Yeah, but you have to consent to that. Bro, they're so fucking dumb, dude. It's just like, they're so stupid. I don't know what to say about this other than like, I miss Trump supporters. They used to come into the chat all the time. About consent. That's a great question. You know what, how old should she be? How old do you, what age is she? 18. So 18, then she can learn about consent. Yes. Yeah. Until then. Th
ank you. Anyone should get their ass beat. I believe that technically the age of consent is 16. No, she shouldn't be learning what is consent. Well, right. How old is she? Yo, that's sus. That's sus. Bro, what the fuck? Bro, photographic memory when it comes to age of consent in each individual state is wild, ok? You know, that's too young to be teaching someone childlike about consent. What is consent, you know? Yeah. Teach them that they should. That's the issues they may or may not have. And
they do damage to our kids. That's a shame. It's called a people's history of the United States, right? You know, I'm talking about the real. The real history, the people's history, not the history of teaching our schools. That's why I'm a QAnon conspiracy theorist, MAGA Trump supporter. Because of Howard Zinn and what's that other guy's name? Noah Chomsky? Manufacture Consent? Is this one of those MAGA communists? No, I'm just kidding. Of course not. She doesn't know what the fuck she's saying.
Do not grasp the concept how evil a lot of people are that get into positions to be able to say that it's okay to show pornography to children. I think the age of consent is 16 in the state of Michigan. It's different from federal law. We're talking to young voters and stuff about the woke indoctrination. Are you in school? Yeah. What's, I mean, what's it like with all this woke indoctrination? What the fuck are they doing, bro? I had to deal with that with my daughter's thing. So I, she does c
hild beauty pageants. Recently, in the swimsuit competition things, someone came in, this girl was wearing a rainbow bikini and totally distracted everyone, distracted my daughter. She nearly like fell off the pole and ruined everything. It's ridiculous. It's essentially, it's grooming is what it is. It's absolutely ridiculous. We've got to get back on the tracks. We need common sense back. My daughter's school, they're teaching consent. And I don't think my daughter should be learning what cons
ent is. No, that's ridiculous. That's not something for the schools. Let's stick with math, reading, writing, science. Science and math. They're teaching my daughter what is consent. It's ridiculous. My daughter, they're teaching her consent. Yeah, I'm angry. You're right, brother. Don't teach these children what consent is. After all, that is a big part of why a lot of conservatives don't like sex ed, you know? Ridiculous. Just think about that. You shouldn't, you know, stick to science, stick
to math. You know, you don't need to teach my daughter about consent. No, school's about just learning the basics. You're right. My daughter right now, they're teaching her consent. Ridiculous. You know, girls shouldn't be learning about consent. Yeah, like non-binary and stuff, you know, it's terrible. What's the biggest issue for you right now as a voter? I believe immigration is a huge problem right now. What's one of the biggest issues for you right now as a voter? Border security. The borde
r. The border, definitely. What's your biggest concern as a voter? Probably the border. I would have to say probably the illegal immigration. What's the biggest issue right now that you want to see solved? Closing the border. What's one of the biggest issues you care about as a voter? Build the wall. Build the wall. That's the most important thing. The migrant crisis, how has it affected you personally? It hasn't. Personally, I don't think I've been personally affected yet. Why not? Yet. Well, t
hey have, there's no services being used in the small town that I'm used. They haven't overwhelmed my little small town. They haven't affected my work yet or anything like that. However, it's affected me thinking that it's possible there could be terrorists coming through there. Dude, it's so funny. It's like my imagined fears need to be addressed. It's like 90% of American politics. Half the country unironically is like being fed a healthy dose of paranoid delusion. From mainstream media, and t
hey just like consistently get hopped up on said paranoid delusions, create these fucking fantasy scenarios in their minds, and then we have to sit there and act like they're being normal. They sit around and make up new things to be afraid of. It's crazy. It's like a child's brain. It's like, oh, well, I went to sleep and I imagined a scary dream and now I'm scared. Except now that's like dictating policy. Great. Ok. That's cool. The Democratic Party should basically lean into that and try to w
in some of these voters, maybe. We're looking for people that had, you know, a personal story about how they're affected by the southern border and the border crisis. Does anyone here have a story? No. What's the number one issue you have as a voter? Have you been personally affected by the migrant crisis? Not so far. I haven't seen anything. Does anyone have a personal story of how they were affected by the migrant crisis? Does anyone care about the migrant crisis in this country? Has anyone pe
rsonally been affected by it? By it. Oh good, do you have a good story about it? We're trying to get one person to tell us their personal- I don't have a direct story, but gotta find someone with a direct story. I know, that's what we're trying to do. That's why we're calling out bothering people. But someone's gonna have one. It's so important. Like, to all of us. It's my number one issue. We're looking for someone with a personal story about the migrant crisis or the border. Yeah, because ever
yone cares about it, right? It's like our number one issue. Yeah, does anyone have a personal story about the migrant crisis? Anyone? That was so funny. She's so, she's so personally deflated when she's like, yeah, sorry, I don't have a migrant story where an immigrant raped me. One day though, maybe I can come back to you, give you something personally, you know, maybe they stole my, my gerb or they stole my, my catalytic converter or something, you know. I am very scared though. One of them li
terally says, I wish you did. Yeah, I wish I did. I saw that. Hold on. What up? Wait, hang on. Do you guys know this guy? Dude, I love the fit you have on. Your work fit is fucking hilarious. Murat comes in with a tucked in polo tee every day. Oh, he found one. Wait, hang on. Do you guys know this guy? KKO, I mean, we should vet him. Coming across our border, stealing our jobs, going to our rallies. Here's my health card from Canada. Oh yeah, what's it like by the way? What's that? What? No! Bro
, are you for fucking, be for fucking real? Bro, he said it took him 30 minutes to get over the border. Dude, why does this always happen, bro? Why does this always happen? Canada is not sending their best dog. Straight up, dude. Oh my God. Canada is always sending their fucking worst, brother. 30 minutes of demoralizing travel with your worldly positions and paying your entire life savings. I can't believe he's upset about crossing the border in 30 minutes. Like, bitch, have you flown into LAX?
The fuck do you mean 30 minutes? Am I crazy? I feel like I'm an American citizen. I come back into the United States of America. That shit is not taking 30 minutes, dog. I'm talking like from the moment that the plane touches the ground to like getting out of LAX. That's like a two to three hour process sometimes on international travel. When I was in Japan, I made three Canadian software engineers that work in Seattle who told me they would vote for Trump because of the border crisis. He's usi
ng it as a comparison saying, why don't they come over legally? No, dude. He's saying, legal immigration takes a really long time, ok? And that's partially because of these illegal immigrants that are ruining it for the rest of us. I don't think you understand the level of mania that he's operating on. He's literally saying a 30 minute border crossing is only that long and annoying for him because of all the people that are fucking crossing the border illegally. That's what he thinks. Which is h
ilarious because yes, the length of the legal asylum seeker process is unironically causing illegal immigration into the country. Now, what I find particularly strange about this is that he doesn't recognize that and he thinks that the 30 minutes of inconvenience that he has is far worse than the 13 year long process it takes for some people to legally come into the country. This tweet for me shows how fucking silly the border crisis is. Yeah, what do you mean? There's a massive, massive influx.
By that border. Oh, they're doing it right. But my point is, I'm just a middle class Canadian and they're giving me crap. And meanwhile, anyone can come across the southern border. Yeah, dude, you just said you're not letting him explain his position. I got it. I got it right. Next time, you should fly to Tijuana and then drive back up. Yeah, exactly. I haven't personally been affected, but I don't like the fact that the drugs are affecting millions. Personal, I am. No? No one. You have one? Yo
u have a personal story about the border? I don't have a social story about the border, but I was really pissed off that one judge, Connie Barrett, when she struck down the border thing in Texas because it was so important that we need... We're trying to get personal stories about the migrant crisis. The migrant crisis, is anyone, so you've been personally, oh, ok. Does anyone have a good personal story about the migrant crisis? We're trying to get one for our podcast. Like something that happen
ed to them or maybe someone they know. Just, it happened to you or it happened to a friend, no? We want to see if anyone's had a personal story where the migrant crisis affected them. I wish I did, brother. Them sexy ass salsa dancers, I wish they would put me down. You know what I'm saying? I dream about a future where that happens to me. I want to be victimized. It's so sick. It's so fucking dope. Yeah. I wish something would happen to me so I can substantiate my irrational fears. It's hilario
us because that also basically gives the game away twofold. You know that it's an irrational fear when you want to substantiate it. You know it's fake and you're still believing in it. And the falsehood being real is more important to you than the potential consequence of like being harmed by an undocumented migrant down the line. Are you affected by the migrant crisis? Anyone? How many of you care about a strong southern border? Yes! Yes! Strong southern border. So do you have a thing about, do
you have a story about how the migrant crisis has personally affected you? Well, I am from New York State, so I get a lot of stories and I see a lot of stories that's going on with New York State. So what's happened to you? Well, nothing personally. Your family, do they have a personal story? Yeah, they, um, I, they're, they're trashing hotels. They're trashing motels. Your family owns these hotels? No, no, they don't own any. So wait, so, ok, yeah, we're trying to find, like, someone, we want
someone to say, like, alright, this is, like, our hotel, and it's trashed, and everything, because they're trying to get, like, yeah, yeah. I don't have any personal. And this is the number one issue you have. I love this because, dude, he's literally describing. No, he's describing what he saw on television, dog. That's it. No, he's describing what he saw on TV. We watch those news articles ourselves. We watch those news reports. They're fucking playing that shit on Fox News on repeat, nonstop.
Guys, you're also talking about a group of individuals that have never fucking stepped foot inside of a city and are genuinely terrified of it because they personally think that like, personally they think that cities are crime ridden shitholes and like they'll immediately get like the knockout game done to them. Ok, so their entire framework and their entire fears come from the TV. That's it. And they're so passionate, and they're so outraged by what the TV man is telling them. As a voter. Oh
yeah, without a doubt. We'll have like a personal story about how they were affected. Yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't. Thank you. What is your number one issue? Pardon? The number one issue you have as a voter. I don't want it. I want the wall. The illegals that are everywhere. Yeah, I have my. I do respect for, I do have respect for Walter not doing the fucking like, oh, well, Biden is pushing for the wall. Even though I guess in this situation, it would still fit. You know what I mean? To like
, just to see their reaction. But I live in Michigan and I do strong. I do support a strong southern border with Ohio though. Hell yeah, brother. That's what I'm talking about. A family has a property near the border and these illegals cross through the property and I shoot at them. And I'm worried if Biden gets re-elected that I'm going to get prosecuted for hitting some of them. Sure. That's why he can't. I think one of the craziest parts about what Walter is doing here is that, yeah, he is ly
ing, except he's actually not lying. He's not shooting at the fucking migrants, but there is a guy in California who did do that. He's describing a real story that we watched on 60 fucking minutes. It's not him, but he is basically describing a real person. Get, you know, prosecuted or something for shooting at them. For something, you know, you have every right to defend. And I'm worried that if Biden gets re-elected, I'm going to get prosecuted for the people that I hit. Oh, for sure. Yeah, it
's just terrible. I mean, I think I hit someone last week and I'm just, you know. You think you did, really? It's just like, you know, and like, but like, you know, what are you going to do? Yeah, that's what you're supposed to do, right? Yeah. Take up arms, protect what's yours. Migrants cross the border. Not just that guy, there are multiple vigilante gangs doing this shit. And they go through my property and I defend myself. And I'm worried that if Biden gets reelected, I'm going to get prose
cuted for shooting at these people. That's ridiculous. I mean, A, we don't really have any issue with migrants. It's illegal immigration, which is what you're talking about. And we have absolutely got to stop it. We've got to lock the borders down. I call them migrants. You call them illegal. Well, I mean, you know. The other conservative he was talking to with the zip, with the half zip or whatever, the quarter zip, he's running for office. That's why he's a little bit smarter. ...used to house
migrants, and we got it shut down. Good for you. Thank you. Great job. We got them all. We had the building condemned, and then they started camping out in tents outside, so we had the police evacuate them and push them out of the county completely. Good for you. It needs to be done now. Listen, we have... Homeless veterans, we have children that are starving. We had a building inspector come. Yeah, these people are disgusting because like they're also the first to be like, uh, they're also the
first to like advocate to assassinate the homeless veterans by way of the police. You know what I mean? They don't give a shit. Nobody gives a fuck. First of all, no one gives a fuck about veterans. Let's be for fucking real. Ok. Um, you know. 22 a day. Just remember, 22 a day. Secondly, secondly, they especially don't give a shit about homeless veterans because they literally fucking are advocating against them all the time. The only time a conservative ever cares about any of these issues, wh
ether it be mental health or homeless veterans or anything like that, 22 a day is the number of veterans that kill themselves every single fucking day in this country. Ok. They don't care about non-homeless veterans. They don't care about homeless veterans. They don't care about veterans at all. My point was, they especially don't give a fuck about homeless veterans. They only care about them as long as they can use it as a talking point against something else. That's it. That's literally it. Re
publicans never bring up issues like real issues that are solvable by legislation that deserve to be solved until they can use it against some other fucking reason. Until they can use it against some other issue that they refuse to solve. Oh, gun control? How about mental health? It's like, ok, do something about mental health. Ah, no, fuck you. Immigration? How about homeless veterans? Ok, let's give them homes. Oh, that'd be communism. Then why'd you bring it up? Suck my dick, man. They condem
ned the building, evacuated everyone. To get rid of the migrants? Yeah. Well, good. My heart goes out to migrants. It really does. I mean, I'm sorry for their situation, but they can't come over here. Has there always been a conservative movement like MAGA before Trump? They seem outrightly racist and hateful. Is this insane? Yes. This is what the conservative movement always has been. I asked because I started paying attention to politics since 2019. Yes. This is what the conservative movement
has always been. The main difference, I guess, with Trump was that Trump was the first time a person in elected office openly spoke exactly like the dudes on the ground that vote consistently and reliably for the Republican Party. That's the major difference. That's why they always say he's so truthful. Because, because he is a dishonest piece of shit that is honest about his dishonesty. Do you understand? He's honestly dishonest. This is something that I have personally experienced in the many
years that I've, you know, duked it out, debated people in the marketplace of ideas and have advocated for socialism in the United States of America. One thing that I came to recognize is that the American audiences and Americans in general, American capitalists, regardless of their class position, look at the corporate structure as inherently undemocratic, but expect it to be. Like, they look at corporations, and if you tell them, like, well, it's not. It's authoritarian. It's a fucking fascist
design. Like, that's how corporations work. They're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's fine. Like, that's what it's supposed to be like. They have way more tolerance for... A brutal authoritarian dictatorship when it's a corporation. Yeah, the honest dishonesty is a big reason why my family's voting for him. Yep. Like they have no framework of analyzing that from the perspective of like, could this be a democracy? Could there be more democracy here? Could we run this in a better way? Nope. And then w
e had the police kick them out and, you know, push them out of the county because they were in tents outside the county, outside the building once it was condemned. They don't let American citizens do that. They shouldn't let illegals do that. They're trying to make it a one vote state. Please ask, should we let Americans do that? Because that'd be real sick. I know, I know what he's doing here, obviously, but I really want to hear them openly be like, well, actually, they shouldn't let American
s do that either. You know what I mean? One person, one vote. So the homeless shelter is completely closed down in my county. So it's like a win-win. Yes, but where are they now? Well, they were in tents outside, and so we had to get the police to push them into the next county and stuff. Somebody has to help the homeless veterans. Sometimes everybody will help now and then. What's the difference? So wait, food stamps isn't social? No, I'm saying there's people who are out there on food stamps.
They're getting free insurance and whatever. Why couldn't we help other people in bad situations as well? Um, I guess I would. Yeah. Ok. I would. So housing for all, healthcare for all. No, not housing for all. Yo! I'm not even joking. She's got to be a landlord or something. That's a real estate developer. Come on. Cause like, like wait, not housing. Just the veterans. Ok, I don't want to misquote you there. Yeah, we need to take care of veterans. What's the biggest issue right now that you wan
t to see solved? Closing the border. Is this an example of the human nature being innately greedy and selfish? Yeah, human nature is not innately greedy and selfish where we have a tremendous amount of collective effort put into society being built. The only reason why we think human nature is innately greedy and selfish is because we exist under a capitalist structure. For those who live under capitalism, the assumption that greed is natural Is no different than a coal miner thinking that black
lung is natural and human nature. It is a byproduct of our circumstances. It is what we are taught. Anyway, it is what we're taught since birth. However, however, the writer's always been dickbags. Oh, yeah. Here, you want to see some good shit? Yep. For people who are asking like, you know, reactionary conservatism, has it always been this outwardly racist? Yes. The answer is yes. And also outwardly anti-communist, anti-socialist. Some of the people in that photo are still voting. I know. Some
of the people in that photo are now the president of the United States of America, Joe Brandon. No, I'm just kidding. Ok, let's keep going. Exactly. And digging for resources. Exactly what Trump said. We're not drilling enough. We're not drilling enough. It's like, has Biden drilled anywhere? Exactly. We're not getting enough sh** done. The four years that Biden has been in office, we haven't gotten anything done. It's like he hasn't signed any drilling permits for anything. Absolutely not. Tha
t's why I'm excited for this. Trump, we want to see that number double, triple of the amount of drilling permits for oil and natural gas. Exactly, that's what we need. Michigan, baby. Ok, Michigan Democratic primary election results are going to come in soon. Polls close at 8 p.m. local time, most of the state observers Eastern time. But in the handful of counties that use Central time, polls close at 9 p.m. Eastern. In the 2020 primaries, the first votes were reported soon after polls closed, a
nd nearly all votes, oh shit, numbers are coming in already. 90% coming in at Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., uncommitted at 5.6%, sitting atop Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson. Oh my God, what a strong start for uncommitted, folks. Whoo! At the top of the hour, there's a three minute ad break. If you no longer want to commit to seeing those ads, all you need to do is subscribe for $5 or for free with a Twitch Prime. We are now going to CNN. If you're still in line to vote, uncommitted, stay in
line. Ladies and gentlemen. But talking with Democratic officials, of course, one of the President's biggest challenges is keeping his coalition together. Of course, that's Arab American, Muslim American voters, but it's also young voters, progressive voters, black voters, Latino voters. Of course, Michigan was ground zero for that. Joe Biden sort of pulled all of those factions of the Democratic Party together four years ago. Now that coalition is fraying. But Jake had an instructive conversat
ion with a pastor here in Detroit earlier today. He said the biggest worry for the White House, the biggest worry for the Biden campaign is apathetic voters. He said apathetic voters don't go out and vote uncommitted, they simply stay home. And that, he believes, is the biggest worry for President. Harry Hale, Syntaxera, thank you for the five, get the subs. And Krista, what is the former president, Donald Trump, looking for when votes come in from Michigan? Donald Trump is expected to handily w
in this primary against Nikki Haley, but instead his team is looking for clues to inform a potential general election rematch with President Joe Biden. As you noted, Jake, Donald Trump won Michigan in 2016 and then lost to Biden in 2020. And in a recent poll in Fox News, Of Michigan voters, they looked at a hypothetical rematch between the two and Trump had 47% of support over Biden's 45. Now that is well within the margin of error, but gives you an idea of how close this race could potentially
be. Now, many of Trump's allies believe that Michigan is the key to the pathway back to the White House. And here's what they're looking for tonight. They are looking at first, moderate Republican voters. So far in this primary season, they have leaned away from the former president. The other thing that they are looking for is an area that Donald Trump has underperformed in in several of these contests, which is suburban voters. This is going to be critical in Michigan in the fall. Now, one of
the hopes of these advisors is that with all of these resounding early wins in Nevada, in Iowa, in New Hampshire, that some of those voters, some of those moderates, some of those suburban voters are going to shift towards Donald Trump. Alright, Kristen Holmes, thanks so much. Diane Gallagher is at a polling place in Ann Arbor, Michigan, home to the University of Michigan Fighting Wolverines. Diane, what's happening? What's your bet on the uncommitted percentage? I have no idea. That's right Jak
e, and we have just shut down this polling center right here. I have with me precinct chairperson Jenny Rogers who is going to read to me the results from her particular precinct number 437. And Jenny, what does this summary say as it's coming out? Ok, so on the Republican party ballot we have 73 votes cast for Nikki Haley, 23 votes for Donald Trump, and one uncommitted. And on the Democratic ballot, we've got 195 votes for Joe Biden, one vote for Dean Phillips, four votes for Marianne Williamso
n, 66 uncommitted, and one write-in. And that's it. The total of 364 votes cast today. What's the writing? That is precinct 437 here in Ann Arbor. Of course, look Jake, you mentioned of course, home to the University of Michigan. This is a blue area in more than one way though. Look, President Joe Biden beat Donald Trump with about 72% of the vote in 2020. So the expectation was to have a greater number. Chad, I'm seeing a, I'm seeing a shutout. It's probably Cenk, and they're not saying the nam
e because, say his name, ok? They don't want to say his name. They're afraid of the Cenk attack. Young vote here. Again, this is just a snapshot of this area. One precinct of many in the Ann Arbor area. Jake. Alright, Diane Gallagher, thanks so much. And it's the turn of the hour, so we have a key race alert for you. Let's bring you some of the numbers as they come in. On the Republican side, in the Republican primary in Michigan, with 1% of the vote in, Donald Trump is in the lead with 54.4% of
the vote. He has 10,950 votes, roughly 3,000 votes ahead of Nikki Haley, who has 39.8%. Uncommitted, let's go! Obviously, it wasn't like it was never going to win, right? But, like, the point is to see if they can do, like, even a dent. Both Democrats and Republicans, one of the things we're going to be looking at tonight is the size of the number two vote to see how much of a protest that is of the person in the first place. Yes, as we think we are moving on to the general election, as we see
Donald Trump 5-1 Republican contest is about to take a big decision on tonight, and on the Super 2 connection. Yes, I think the real uncommitted people are not going to go out and vote. Let's be real. But the fact that there are people out there who are taking the time out of their day to go to an uncontested primary to vote uncommitted is very important. A 10% would be a massive, in my opinion, victory for the uncommitted campaign. Especially because of like when it got started. It wasn't like.
.. It is relatively new. And on top of that... And on top of that, it came in a situation where, you know, if you're actually uncommitted, you just don't vote. I feel like you're disingenuous. You were a Burgum head and you've totally abandoned the cause. Yeah. I think people should 100% do it and that's an important message to send, but we should be aware of what the baseline we're working off here. Trump has created a very intense loyalty towards them politicians among the kinds of voters who
show up to this. Important thing to remember here, if the voter is under 10%, people will say Biden did better than Obama to hype him up. That is not a good comparison. The constituency of ancestral Dems who went out of their way To vote against Obama in 2012 does not exist now. New York Times reporting 10% uncommitted. Biden's at 85%. Marianne Williams and Dee Phillips at 2.5 and 2.2%. 10% of the vote is uncommitted according to New York Times. This is only 5% of the votes coming in right now,
folks. A few minutes ago, and they transmitted their numbers up to the county, giving you a preliminary look at Why do people talk about Trump's voter loyalty when he only has 60% of the Republican vote? People don't want either candidate. If this is your expectation, my friend, you are in for a major surprise come general election. Donald Trump's Republican base of support is infinitely more loyal and also infinitely larger, I guess, percentage-wise. Not larger than Joe Biden's loyal base of su
pport, maybe even in totality, but definitely percentage-wise. Donald Trump, throughout his entire tumultuous career, Ok. Has rarely ever dipped below 90% approval rating in the Republican Party. This is a fact that I used to show to liberals all the time and it blew their fucking minds when I would bring this up. I'd be like, dude, you think Donald Trump's approval ratings are low? That's fine. That makes sense. A lot of Democrats fucking hate him. But look at his approval rating in the party.
It's barely below 90% in the Republican Party. Joe Brandon's approval rating currently is significantly lower than that in his own party. So that's something to remember. That means there's not a lot of motivation even amongst party loyalists for Joseph Robinette Brandon. This will lead to depressive voter turnout. This would be for District 9 that we were just talking about. The numbers for Biden were 29 votes and uncommitted was 13. Very interesting. Here in Waterford. Ok, Omar, thanks so much
. What do you make of that? I mean, 13 uncommitted, 29 for Biden. That's a lot of uncommitted. It's a small sample. I know it's early, but do you see yourself voting third party? That's so funny. Dude, one, I live in California, and two, like, third party votes is the same as writing fucking Harambe. You might as well write Harambe in the fucking, in the little box there, ok? ...with what you're seeing in the math here. And the question is, you know, in other precincts... Sorry, don't care. Voti
ng jank. ...just said in the county so far. But the question is, where's that number? You're right. How significant is it? Because, look, there's a history of voted uncommitted in the Michigan Democratic primary. So we want to be careful not to overstate it. At the same time, having been there and our reporters on the ground there, Jeff Zeleny is in the heart of this in Dearborn, just west of Detroit. If Joe Biden is still fighting for his base... It makes it harder to beat Donald Trump. In Mich
igan, look at 2016. Trump beat Hillary Clinton. In Michigan, broke the blue wall, won Wisconsin, went on to the White House. Joe Biden flipped the script, right? Won Michigan, won Wisconsin, won your home state of Pennsylvania, the Commonwealth. This is the fight. The old blue wall, which has now become the Midwestern battlegrounds in a presidential election. If you come out to this and go back to look at it, let me come out, that's the primaries, but let me come here and look at it. This is the
fight, right? This is it. Here, here, and here, and here, and possibly here, but these three states tend to go. And Joe Biden's victory in Michigan in 2020 was his most comfortable of these three. 154,000 votes. The question is, if you have most of the 200,000 Muslim Americans who live in Michigan mad at you, I'm here to show you the things that libtard media is too afraid to show you, which is that here's the real electoral map if Cenk is the candidate for the Democratic Party. Ok, as you can
see, Florida still hates him. Obviously, Florida is a lost territory. We are going to be working under the Cenk regime on severing our ties with the state of Florida. And also, we are going to give Alaska back to Russia. So in anticipation of that, both Alaska and Florida have decided not to vote for Cenk, which is a major mistake, right? The rest of the country, of course, is united. This is an FDR style sweeping victory that will, that will inevitably yield the new New Deal. Ok. That's right.
If Cenk becomes president, do you become the first nephew of the country? Hell yeah, I do. And I live out my Hunter Biden-esque dreams, Ok. Hunter Biden, the first son, the prodigal first son, watch out, Ok. The first nephew is going to be out of control. Labor secretary, White House, I'm leading the fucking, I'm the labor secretary and I'm doing all communication. Double oligarch, baby. It wasn't enough that I'm an oligarch in Turkey, but I'm also an oligarch in America. In those uncommitted vo
tes, a certain candidate decides not to contest the state. Back in 2008, the uncommitted vote was way higher, because both Barack Obama and John Edwards didn't play in Michigan, and their voters voted uncommitted to sort of say, I want to go out and vote for my guy, but I can't vote for my guy. So it was much higher then. So the question this time, though, is there's nobody like that. There's not another Democratic candidate who said, oh, I'm going to skip Michigan because Biden's strong there.
So that, I think, is a true protest vote, as opposed to years past where there were different reasons for it. Let's not overstate that it's all about Israel-Gaza. Uncommitted is going to tell us people who had a chance to vote for an incumbent democratic president, or vote for his long-shot challenger, and they chose to vote uncommitted. So it tells you, number one, they're unhappy, they're looking for something else than that. And then the question is, and our reporter's on the ground. Bro, the
y're literally saying we went out of our fucking way in an uncontested primary to go and vote to say fuck you. It shows motivation in the worst way possible. People don't do that. Who the fuck does that? Think about it. Who goes out of their way to say fuck you unless there is a real issue. Would you still stream on Twitch if you're labor secretary? Bro, if I'm labor secretary, daily propaganda that every American has to watch. Ok. At gunpoint, you go to jail if you don't fucking say nice things
about me and nice things about socialism. That's my promise. It doesn't really matter what happens during the primary. Joe Biden's going to win the Democratic primary. But we're here and Donald Trump only won Michigan by 10,000 votes in 2016. You need us. Let me go to Diane Gallagher who's at a voting location right now. And Diane, you're in Ann Arbor. What are people telling you about this uncommitted vote? The exact conversation that you and John were just having, I spoke with several uncommi
tted voters here in Ann Arbor. Under a jank presidency, we're doing re-education camps for Republicans. I'm sorry, if you're a Republican, you're engaging in counter-revolutionary activities, you're going to fucking re-education camp. It's fine. Ok, and I'd be a despot too. I'm talking like, oh, I'm sorry. Did you say you love jalapeno poppers? Well, guess what? I do too. But, now I feel like you might be a conservative. Re-education camp. Ok? 100%. I will make Xinjiang look like a fucking theme
park. Do you understand? Re-education camp for every conservative in the country. Every single one. ...that protest to let the president, who they did... Conservative politicians? Jail. Permajail. Gulag. Work camps. Time to get a job, bitch. Sorry. You're going to be making license plates. The main voting block here, Ann Arbor, the college town. So you have students who could vote there, then you have the entire, you know, the infrastructure. Don't you think Dems deserve that? I said counter-re
volutionary. So, depends. Are you a Democrat that thinks, oh, we just simply can't have good things? Sorry, not under a drank presidency. You're also engaging in counter-revolutionary behavior. You're also going to re-education. You will forcibly like this public health care. Ok? I will re-educate you until you like public health care. Do you understand what I'm saying? How about billionaires? What's a billionaire? I don't even know what that means. Because it doesn't exist and we've wiped it fr
om the history books. So, no. The word itself is banned. How about instituting a terms of service for the entire country? No more B-word, ok? It's gone. So are the billionaires in general. The word doesn't exist. ...over to the panel right now. Is that what we're doing? Let me toss it to Dana. Dana Bash, on to you. Thank you. And, you know, as we continue that conversation, one of the main reasons we are so focused on Michigan tonight isn't because, and we can just repeat this, isn't because we
are not sure who's going to win the Democratic primary and who's going to win the Republican primary. Someone in the chat said, are you re-educating your parents? Absolutely, my friend. If they engage in counter-revolutionary behavior, you think I would betray the revolution? 100% going to re-education. Sorry, mom and dad. You like capitalism? Guess what? Re-education for you. Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was going to win that primary. Bernie Sanders eked
it out. And if you fast forward to the fall of 2016, Hillary Clinton ended up losing Michigan. And so that's one of many examples throughout recent history of places like Michigan and Michigan itself being a harbinger for problems that a candidate has in a primary that bear out in the general election. Is that one of the things that you're looking at and looking for here, David Chalian? Definitely one of the things to look for in any primary contest, I think, is what, and it's not a one-for-one
situation, we should note that, but what general election vulnerabilities are exposed by the coalition of folks that come out and vote the way they do inside the context of your primary? Because we all know politics is a game of addition, right? You need a unified base of support from your own partisans to be in the ballgame for a general election. And so looking for cracks in the Biden coalition in these Democratic vote tallies tonight is what we're looking for. I mean, I'll just note with 7%
of the estimated vote in now, the uncommitted vote is already at 11,607 raw votes. So they've already crossed the ridiculously low expectation setting that they had set for 10,000. Dude, I don't know. I mean, I don't know if we hit fucking 20%. That's crazy. I thought maybe 10%. I thought 10%. I was fucking, I guess I hit a very low expectation there. I think 10% is pretty good. I'm pretty solid. Getting the base energized. Which is clearly a large protest vote will make it very clear about the
amount of work that they have to do here. Which will be interesting too is just the challenges that each candidate has within their own party. For Biden, it is clearly the base. It's younger voters, minority voters, and here Muslim voters, Arab American voters. Trump, the right of center voters, the suburban voters, those are the people that have been voting for Nikki Haley. How much of vulnerability do we see from him in tonight's results? So, as David said, like, this is, we know the outcome h
ere. The impact, what it means for November is what we're going to have to scrutinize here. Yeah, I mean, to a certain extent, we're doing vibe punditry, right? Because we know how it's going to end. We know Biden's going to win it. We know Trump's going to win it. As opposed to what? That's literally, that's all punditry. The fuck? That's literally all punditry. And Donald Trump in the days ahead. I mean, one of the things, which is, I think it was a point that David made when we were on TV 14,
000 years ago this morning. Um, is one of the things I'm looking for is what is Nikki Haley's number when she's not been campaigning in Michigan, right? That shows you the more organic based kind of number. Um, but yeah, also we were just talking about Ann Arbor. That's a town I'm sure that went for Bernie Sanders in 2020. So it's heavy with college students and you know, it's, it's early to figure out the vibes. Although I believe that Michigan and Michigan State are on spring break right now.
I've been reliably informed from a Michigander. We're counting down to our first chance to make projections in the Michigan primers. And we're awaiting more results from polling places that have just closed. Up next, we're going to talk with Nikki Haley, as she's now warning Republicans at nominating Donald Trump. Oh my gosh, she's such a fucking loser, dude. It's awesome. Oh God. Bro, that's so cool. Just absolutely getting come stirred in your own home state. And then only to get come stirred
once again in fucking Michigan to go on CNN, smiling, thriving. You know, we need you Nikki right now. She off the park. What is she doing? It's so sick. Oh God. Can you make this better? Like a little rap verse. You know what I mean? Like a little bit of rap verse. I think, I think when I hear a song like this, I'm thinking like it requires a little bit of rap. Like some, some Christian rap. Oh, wait, what? There's lots of noise in politics. Oh, God, it's so good. This is the third time in a we
ek that I've entered the stream and you're just listening to this damn song, Lamal. We... No, dude, it's so good. We need you, Nikki, right now to heal our nation. We have another key race alert for you with actual votes coming in. In the Michigan Democratic Party, primary rather, incumbent president Joe Biden is in the lead with 78.7%. He has 67,346 votes. That is 53,553 votes ahead of uncommitted. That's still a pretty big number for uncommitted. Dude, even CNN's like, that's crazy, dog. 13,79
3 votes. If that trend continues, that's gonna be pretty big. Dean Phillips pulling up the rear, 2.6% of the vote. On the Republican The Republican side, Donald Trump, no surprise in the lead with 63.7% of the vote. That's 60,879 votes, almost 30,000 votes ahead of Nikki Haley who has 32.4% of the vote. That's with 7% of the estimated vote in. John King, we're seeing increasing numbers of votes, actual votes coming in. It's exciting. Where are they coming in from? Where they're coming in from is
interesting. Breaking the uncommitted campaign will likely receive at the very least one delegate of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Because you're right. We said 20,000 votes seems to be the normal vote, traditional vote for uncommitted. With about 8% of the estimated vote, you're already up to almost 14,000. So that tells you that number's going to go up. Here's what's telling me it's going to go up even more. We have nothing. I'm going to start where we have no votes. That's b
ackwards, right? Normally on an election night, you go where you have votes. This is Wayne County. This is where Detroit is. The campus of Wayne State. Among the places we visited where there was a lot of We're going to get the most votes from here. It's the Democratic base. This is it. So critical for the president. What else are we seeing? So you just pop around a few other places. This is Oakland County. As I mentioned, critical to winning the state of Michigan. You win Wayne County. Then you
go out into the suburbs. You have Oakland here, McComb here. 13%. 13.5%. 14% if you round that up. Again, let's be careful. He's getting 80% of the vote. He's the president of the United States. He's getting 80%. Yeah, a lot of people forget that it's not just Arabs. Ok. It's definitely young voters too. It's not just Arabs. It's not just Muslims. There's a shit ton of young voters that are on college campuses both in Ann Arbor and also in Wayne State. Is that what is the name of the school? Li
ke in Detroit? Like in Wayne County? There are so many, there are so many college students that are already upset with, that are already upset with At the moment, only 7% of the vote. Let's be patient with the results. But Nikki Haley's not winning any counties. Donald Trump's getting 64% of the vote. So the governor can clearly make the argument about a third of Republicans here. We'll see what that number ends up. But a third here, 40% of my home state of South Carolina, 43% in New Hampshire,
don't want Donald Trump. She's right. The math supports that. However, that's winning and that's getting the delegates, 55 delegates at stake tonight, 16 of them. It is interesting though to consider the fact that tonight we really are interested in who is not voting for the person that's going to win. Right? Who is not voting for Donald Trump? Who is not voting for Joe Biden on the non-committed because that exposes weaknesses for both men. What's the point of voting uncommitted? Like they'll e
ither not vote or vote for Biden either way. Brilliant analysis, sir. Everything that we've said thus far leading up to the uncommitted vote campaign is actually rendered null and void by the brilliance of this one chatter. Let's hear what Nikki has to say. Thank you so much for being on. I want to look at what's happening. It's called pressure. Set expectations if you would. What are you hoping for when results are in, in Michigan? Well, obviously our goal is to be as competitive as possible. T
hat's what this has always been. But look at what's happened in Michigan. You look back in 2012, Michigan was such a bright spot. I was there. They were the best white people. They were winning up and down the ticket. It was just a great But ever since Donald Trump became president, they've lost the government, they've lost the state house, they've lost the state senate. The same thing has happened in Minnesota. Now, you know, I was in Colorado earlier today. Bro, at a certain point people are g
oing to be like, alright dude, drop out you fucking loser. Jesus Christ. President in 2016. It is a pattern we continue to see. You're seeing the same thing whether you look at all the early states. Donald Trump didn't get 40% of any of the Republican primary vote. It is a problem. He's not bringing people into the party. He's pushing people out of the party. Colorado today has 10% less Republicans than they had before when Donald Trump was president. And so this is just a pattern we continue to
see. Governor, I hear you sharpening even more your criticism against Donald Trump, but what about you? How do you want to do tonight? You know, what we want to, obviously we want to do well. I mean, that's the focus of this and all the Super Tuesday states is let's just keep going and running through the tape as much as we can. I mean, I was, you know, in Minnesota this morning. I was in Colorado this afternoon. I'm now in Utah. I mean, that's the goal is to try and hit as many Super Tuesday s
tates as we can. But look, Donald Trump campaigned in Michigan for eight years. I campaigned for two days. So our goal has been to try and reach as many people as we can, but we know he's got the advantage in that. But more than that, what we're trying to tell everyone, whether it's in Michigan, whether it's the Super Tuesday states coming forward, is look at what has happened. First, you've got Donald Trump. He can't win a general election. Look at the Marquette poll. It showed recently. He's m
argin of error. I defeat Joe Biden by 18 points. But more than that, look at what's happened to the Republican Party. The Republican Party is now not just changing based on tone. It's changing based on policy. Like what? No longer is there any talk about fiscal responsibility. That used to be a pillar for the Republican Party, yet you've got Donald Trump who put us $8 trillion in debt. Oh, God. More than any other president. She's such a Democrat, dude. Who opened up earmarks and pet projects ag
ain in Congress, passing through 7,000 of them last year. Donald Trump's not talking anything about shrinking government, stopping spending. Yeah. Cutting out the... Because it's dumb as fuck. He knows that it's stupid. That's why he hits the fucking racism line all the time. Now you've got Donald Trump basically saying he's going to tell Putin to go and invade our allies who stood with us after 9-11. It's all a shit. You want to know why the real truth, the God's honest truth, you want to know
why the Republicans don't fucking talk about fiscal responsibility? Because Democrats don't actually push for anything that requires the Republican Party to basically turn around and eradicate. Ok, our social safety nets are already so ascetic that there is no more genuine need from even capital owners to fucking advocate to further erode the social safety nets. Because the one social safety, the social safety nets that do currently exist at this point are basically just like social security and
the marginal, like the bare minimum social safety net necessary so that there's no fucking riots. Ok. It's so cooked. ...races up and down the ticket. The RNC is now about Donald Trump. They made that very clear. So now that's become his legal slush fund. Do we not see what's happening here? And this is the issue, Dana, of all of this. The reason I fight is for my kids and your kids. My dad's not a billionaire. He's a quadrillionaire. They've gone through COVID. They look at the fact that there
's $34 trillion in debt. They don't know what that means to them. They don't know how they're going to get a job. How did this person go from, I'm a 22 year old trans woman in the Midwest blue state. I have the opportunity to move to Canada. Should I move or should I stay here and try to organize and make things better for other trans people who don't have that opportunity? To, Hasan, isn't your dad a billionaire? How does, how does one's brain break so fucking hard? All it takes is like what on
e, no dude. All it takes is like one dude on Twitter to be like, yeah, his dad is a billionaire. I saw one thing on Twitter, and I was like, this guy, everything he's saying is fucking, there's a random account. Everything he's saying is correct, and everything Hasan is saying must be a lie. What does it say about your party? We have got to get off the ship and start going forward. What does it say about your party that, with respect, they're not buying what you're selling, given the results tha
t we've seen so far? We've only seen a handful of states vote. I mean, look, I have said this before, as much as the media wants to jump ahead, we're taking this one state, one day at a time. That's what this is about. You know, if I got out when y'all were talking about it earlier, New Hampshire, South Carolina, whenever, it would be the longest general election race in presidential history. Still, if I got out today, it'd be the longest general election race in history. America is blessed to b
e a democracy. Let people vote. Now in the next week, we're going to watch 20 states and territories vote. Let's let that happen. Governor. We are blessed to live in a country where hope still reigns. And we need to look for that hope. We need to look for that America we want our kids to have. And we need to fight for it. And I'm going to fight for it. The America that our children want is one where they care about the deficit, ok? This race through Super Tuesday. I mean, we are in all the Super
Tuesday states now. It's funny because even if your dad was a billionaire, it doesn't exactly change the ideas that most of us agree with. And if your dad was a billionaire, it would make no sense for you to advocate for what you advocate for, so it's weird. Yeah, it's, it's, I don't even know. I don't know at this point. I think it's just like people are just like trying to add on because the house stuff didn't work. The car stuff didn't work. So now they're just like adding on to it. It's the
same cycle over and over again. I've already made up my mind. You know, like there's most people have already made their decision. Like they either are like, yeah, fuck this guy. I don't like him. He's fake. He must be fake. No one is going to fucking advocate for these things that they advocate for. Or they've decided that like it's all understandably bullshit and it gives a shit. You know, the real the real situation here, of course, is that we need Nikki right now. Ok, maybe your choice of c
ar wasn't the best. Why? Why? No, like, seriously, why? What does my my consumption say about me in that regard? Doesn't mean anything. What has changed about my politics? Think, you know, chewing on that Turkish gum? No, it's nicotine gum. We need you Nikki right now. They want you to be rich and a right winger, a right wing grifter. They can't wrap their heads around you being comfortable and a decent person. Yeah, I just, you know, it is what it is. As if people didn't shit on you when you we
re driving the Toyota, be for real. Yeah, people used to yell at me for driving the Toyota. Out of pure laziness, too. And because out of pure comfort. But people were like, oh, dude, he's LARPing as a poor person by driving around in a fucking Toyota Camry. Ok, I go and I buy a nice car. They're like, dude, look at this fucking rich asshole flexing. It doesn't matter. Bro, they said I was a neo... They said I was a neo-Ottomanist or something. What was it? Neo-Ottomanist? What were they saying?
I forget. I believe that I will restore the Ottoman Empire or something. Erdogan supporter. I'm going to be honest. I hate when people say your music tastes lax because the Nicki song is a banger. Thank you. Oh, let's get back to, um, let's get back to this. The, the manga doesn't understand the word consent. I'll go back to, I'll go back to the, uh, the, the live coverage when there's something interesting happening. So what do you think about all this climate change? My fave line about the ta
ke-in is when you say I'm streaming the purchase for you guys and interpreting as I'm buying the take-in for you guys then freaking out about how can Hasan's audience be so stupid and believe that he's buying the car for them. It's in a way not, you know, it's in a way the same level of delusion as these guys, right? Like they've made up a position of myself and of my audience and then they're just like whipping each other up. We need to get stuff done. I think climate change is a big issue. I t
hink a lot of people are not really focusing on it too much. Do you think it's real though? It's this real, I don't know how to say it. I guess the best way of saying it is they're trying to focus more on the public trying to change global warming instead of the big corporates trying to change because the corporates are the biggest thing that is using plastic, tons of plastic. They're polluting our planet and they're telling us to stop using plastic, stop doing all this stuff to help climate cha
nge and help not pollute the planet. Single use plastic. Bro, is he alright? I think he went to the wrong rally. My boy, the uncommitted rally is down the street. You're at the wrong rally, homie. What the fuck's going on? This guy doesn't seem like a MAGA guy at all. Wait a minute. Yeah, microplastic. Yeah. But yeah, so what were you saying about the drilling? So we're not drilling enough. We're not drilling enough. We need more resources that are... What is this? I'm sorry, but if uncommitted
is actually on course for anything even approaching 100k votes, Biden has no choice but to drop a JDAM on the Knesset and personally chokeslam Netanyahu on TV with his bare hands. Huh. No. Dude, if it passes 100,000 votes, that's so bad for the Democratic Party. That is literally like... A Michigan Democratic source tells me they project an uncommitted vote approaching 100,000 today, including sufficient number in MI-12 that would yield delegates. Sources note that on a percentage basis would be
similar to the 2012 outcome. Yeah. Good thing, good thing that Biden guy is just as popular and as charismatic as that other guy. Definitely doesn't need it, is what I'm thinking. You know what I mean? Content with the president. I think this is clearly an issue. I think it's one of the reasons why he was eager to say yesterday he thought that a ceasefire was within reach. You know, Turner, you suggested people vote on the committee. Yeah, he's eager to say that to fucking try and change the ou
tcome today in Michigan a little bit. Do you see that Ludwig was saying that people were attacking him for taking down the MAGA mail from yesterday? He told me they were sending him death threats for taking down the MAGA mail from yesterday. Just the most normal anti-Hasan fans out there. Just well adjusted and normal people. Kai's in Taiwan? Yeah, I heard. Bro, he is literally unifying, dude. Didn't we make jokes about this? Like, that he was going to... Didn't... I remember, like, riffing abou
t this a while back. I don't know, like, talking about how he's gonna... What the f... Yeah, Kai Wan? The fuck was it? What was I saying? We said Kai Wan, but what else did we say? We reduced... Anyway. Go to China already? You hate to see someone else living your dream? True. Chinese Kai Pei. What's the joke and why is Kai in Taiwan? This is his buddy, I think that he met in Japan or something and he's from Taiwan. So he went to go visit him. The man who got cheated on the stage. Oh yeah, yeah,
he good. Yeah, he got right, man. How the fuck you even contact like? He hit me, like I just hit him up. Chat, I don't know if y'all know, I don't know if y'all know, right? But the guy who got cheated on, bro, he's like good right now, chat. Like, he's Gucci. He's like, he's living a life right now. Yeah, bro, like, he's making music. Wait, what? Is this for real? Are you guys fucking around? Hunter Schaefer was one of the 50 arrests at JVP New York 30 Rock Action disrupting Biden's appearance
? I don't think that's real. Is that real? No, I don't believe that. I'm having a hard time believing that. There's no way. Dude, come on. I mean, I want to believe it, but I don't think that's real. I think that's someone else. It's real? No, this doesn't prove it. What the fuck are you talking about? Arnold Schwarzenegger attending Jewish Voice for Peace moments before she got arrested? There ain't no fucking way, dude. Wait, wait, what? Wait, no. No, I think it's just someone that looks like
her. There's no way. There's no fucking way. This happened last night, by the way. So, this happened last night, no? No. Like the Jewish Voice for Peace protest at 30 Rock that happened last night when Biden was doing the secret Seth Meyers. Listen, why are you not accepting it could be real? Why am I not accepting it's real? Because I feel like this would be major fucking news. And people would have written about it. And it wouldn't be just on fucking Twitter. Look at her story. Who is Hunter S
chaefer? Hunter Schaefer is an incredibly famous... Why is HasanAbi not blindly believing this? Yeah, because it seems unbelievable. That's why. Hunter Schaefer is a phenomenal trans actress who was in Euphoria. She's like, she's also, she's also like, I mean, she's done a bunch of modeling campaigns and stuff like that. Hideo Kojima is a major fan of Hunter. Hunter posted it on her IG story. No. Wait, what? Wait, what the fuck is going on? Why isn't this literally on, like, wait, why do you guy
s send me this fucking post? Is she tagged in it? Not tagged. She's in movies and shit. Like, that's crazy. She's in, dude, guys, guys, PopBase covered it, must be true. Nah. Even her fan accounts are saying it's her. Hunter Schaefer getting arrested after fearlessly joining a pro-palace-line movement in New York today. She's so real. I feel like I'm being gaslit. Someone said, we support they. The guy trying to be nice. It's that same energy. Someone check on Hideo-san. Let me tell you somethin
g. Hideo-sama is already a Che Guevara stan. But, yeah. That'd be wild if she flew back from Milan Fashion Week instantly to go join a Jewish Voice for Peace protest. So, look at the mole on her cheek. It's her. I think you guys are being crazy. It could be real, but I would be very shocked. For two reasons. One, because this is like pretty big pop culture news in general. Especially because like Hollywood is notoriously not too great on those who vocally oppose Israel. No matter how genocidal I
srael gets. Look at Melissa Barrera. I think it's just a girl that looks like her. So... Who is Hunter Schaefer? Don't recognize him? I, this is Hunter Schaefer. Anyway, I think people are just like getting excited. But like, you would also, you would also see, I think if it was her, you would have seen probably like, one, TMZ would be the one breaking the story. They're all over this shit. And two, there's the other photo from the protest, please. I saw the other photo from the protest. Anyway,
I just, I think it's crazy. I mean, maybe, but I feel like she would have done something else. Like she would have been more vocal. Who the fuck goes to like a random last second Jewish voice for peace protest at 30 Rock as their like first major point of outward activism. You know what I mean? Like I feel like you would have had an Instagram post here and there before you, you know, you soft launch. You know what I mean? You kind of soft launch your support for Palestine a little bit. You don'
t even get arrested anymore. So out of touch. I know. Anyway, let's see. Well, the FBI and white women, what you need to know. Well, the FBI and white women, what you need to know. Mark Ruffalo seems to get away with being pro-Palestine unfazed. First of all, Mark Ruffalo has been an incredibly famous person for a very long time and also simultaneously has been like a political guy, right? That's a little bit different. You're talking about the motherfucking Hulk here. Like, come on. When are we
getting Melissa on stream? I've tried reaching out to her. Like there are certain people that are already, there are certain people that are already like legendary status in Hollywood and are basically known as like political people, right? John Cusack is another person who's like very vocal, very outspoken. You say that about everyone? What do you mean? I feel like it's a little bit different than like, than, than a celebrity that is not like a celebrity is like up and coming. Melissa Barrera
being a great example of a celebrity that's like up and coming, I guess, that just like got absolutely cooked. She's, for the uncommitted vote, she's of course Palestinian American, someone who has been a very aggressive opponent of the way that this war has been waged and the president's handling of it. I said, will you support Joe Biden in November? She did not respond to that question. And that's going to be the big question for the Biden campaign. Can you win some of these people back when i
t's not uncommitted on the ballot? It's Biden versus Trump. I mean, the difference from 2012, of course, is that there's an organized campaign effort here for Uncommitted that wasn't present in 2012. Run by Rashida Tlaib's sister. Richard Gere, who was huge, got blacklisted for saying free Tibet in the 1990s. What? Why would anybody get blacklisted in the 90s for saying free Tibet? I thought Richard Gere was not actually blacklisted at all. And it was more like a Scientology thing that people we
re saying he shoved a gerbil in his ass or some shit. Yeah, saying free Tibet is like a very popular position or was a very popular position in America. Yeah, I don't care about what he's saying. I, like, the notion that being fucking free Tibet, pro-Tibet, and his views threaten to film success in the ever lucrative Chinese market is so funny. Why the fuck would he be blacklisted in the 90s? What kind of capital did China have in the fucking 90s, dog? Hello? No, that's just him saying that. Tha
t doesn't mean that it's correct. Free Tibet was like a rallying cry for liberals for the longest fucking time. Ok. In the 90s. I think Americans in the 90s didn't have all too strong opinions on China to begin with. And nowadays, when Americans do have a strong opinion on China, it certainly isn't pro-China. What the fuck? Yeah, they held a concert, dude. Organized in 1996, the first concert was held in June in San Francisco and featured acts such as the Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bjo
rk, Smashing Pumpkins, Cibo Mato, Rage Against the Machine, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Buddy Guy, and John Lee Hooker. What's this? CIA and MI6 activities in Tibet. Stop. Let's get back to the Michigan. Look at that. Just look at that. This is the Republican contest so far. The Virgin Islands down here as well. And so, if you look at this right now, Donald Trump, like him or not, has every right to make the case. I'm winning in the heartland. I'm winning in the heartland again. I won in N
ew England. I won in the South. I won out West by convincing margins. I'm going to be the Republican nominee. Everyone, including Governor Haley, should recognize that fact. That will be his argument. Of course, she makes the argument, no. A third or more of the party keeps voting against him. They need a voice. I'm going to stay in. A week from tonight, when you have a bunch of states voting on Super Tuesday, I think we'll be probably the last defining test of that. Bro, if you think, Gear said
that he's being blacklisted now as of like 2017 because of China's increased importance in the U.S. film industry. Wait, what? What is this? Gear's saying he's being blacklisted now as of like 2017 because of China's increased importance in the U.S. film industry. That's a little bit more believable, but I think his fall off was way before recently. Like his fall off happened. I thought it was like some fucking false rumors being spread by Scientology. I thought it was like a Scientology thing.
I don't know why the fuck he's like hitting the, it's actually China that fucking blacklisted me type shit. Yeah, his own personal explanation is ridiculous. You can lose 30,000, but I'll make this point. You can't lose a big slice of your base because you see that number? Donald Trump lost Michigan in 2020. Look at that 2.64 million. In 2016, he won it with 2.2 million. Donald Trump got more votes in several of the battleground states in 2020 than he did in 2016 when he won them. The Democrats
just turned out more votes. Biden was more successful with young voters, more successful with Arab Americans, more successful in the suburbs and Anderson. So that's the challenge. The two frontrunners are going to win tonight. We know that. The question is, Oh shit. A Jewish guy from Detroit, right? From Michigan. Anderson, this event began with a moment of silence for all of the children who have been slain in Gaza. After that, it really erupted in applause. You can hear perhaps behind me here
now, former Congressman Andy Levin is on the stage right now, offering a roadmap from here. He says, this is not the end. This is the beginning. And that is the sentiment that we are getting here. At the Adonis restaurant, a Middle Eastern restaurant in Dearborn, the heart of the Arab American community, the Muslim American community here in Michigan. And there is a sense that they have already won a success. Regardless of the number of votes, they believe they've gotten President Biden's atten
tion. Indeed, they have. But Anderson, they are just going to go forward with this. They said they plan to pressure him over the next eight months. So this unprecedented effort here certainly now is just beginning, not ending. I can't hear anything. I can't hear a damn thing he's saying, bro. Who the fuck's doing the audio over there? Jesus Christ. Hear from President Biden, I think it was just yesterday, saying that his national security advisor had seemed to indicate that there was movement on
a potential ceasefire or prolonged cessation. That was not echoed, certainly by the Palestinian side or even officials in Israel. And it is, I think it was very spontaneous. Obviously, that wasn't something that was a planned moment. Reporters just shout questions and he answers. But it is different than how they've handled the last ceasefire that happened. The White House was so careful to talk about it until it was actually official because we've seen them come close to having a ceasefire and
then for it to fall apart. And so, Ro Khanna, a congressman who's been in Michigan stumping for Biden, who previously had not called for a ceasefire, is now calling for one. He said he did believe that that was intended to try to kind of blunt Yeah, I do agree with you, Bakari. I mean, no one that I interface with said that they wanted to vote for Donald J. Trump. How, there is a however here. And I think sometimes as we talk about this issue, we're making, we're centering President Biden. We a
re centering former President Donald J. I don't feel vindicated about how much the media rhetoric has changed since October 7. I knew all of this was going to happen and anyone who has ever paid attention to Israel's actions over the course of the past 10 years knew exactly what was going to happen. It took far too long for the media to get here. Now, fast forward to all of these bodies laying in the wake and people who are living through this every single day. By the way, there's also been slau
ghter in Israel. I was going to say. There's a lot of pain on both sides. Shut the fuck up, Anderson. But I'm talking about the politics of this tonight. How, what to you would be a victory, as somebody was calling for this uncommitted vote, what to you would be a victory tonight to get that message across? I'm not denying that pain. All I'm saying that at a certain point after October the 7th, it becomes clear. I mean, you have a right wing prime minister. We don't need to read the issue. But y
ou understand, I'm not denying anybody's pain. What I am saying is that this president and our country has the power to say to Netanyahu, we need a permanent ceasefire. The only time hostages... Wait, one more point. The only time hostages were released is when we had that brief ceasefire. That is another reason why we need a permanent ceasefire. I also have to remind people we had a ceasefire prior to October 7th, right? I mean, that's a point. And I get centering people and I completely unders
tand. Yeah, exactly, bro. What did that ceasefire look like? It was death and destruction and misery for the Palestinians. Come on, Nina, step in. That's what I... Oh my god, they're fucking doing damage control in real time right now. It's crazy. They're forced to reckon with the dissatisfaction that people feel, something that we've been saying non-fucking-stop for the past couple of months now. So they're like trying to, one, report on the dissatisfaction, while simultaneously still do their
due diligence for the fucking, for the administration. If it's what, right now it's 30, I don't, we don't have the, we're looking at the, Like all Americans, they're concerned about other issues. So if you live in Wayne County, your cost of housing is higher than the state average. You're concerned about the cost of groceries. You have an American dream of being able to afford your first home. You might be concerned about crime just as much as your neighbor. And the underlying issues, really, by
the way, for any group we talk about, I think that you're going to see an elevated vote in those communities, and it's very much related to this issue. And so the question is, how much more elevated is that uncommitted vote in those communities? I suspect it's going to be much higher. You know, but I just have to, one last word on this, Nina. Don't you worry that discontent in Michigan is going to lead to a Trump election? Or, yeah. You know who else should worry about that? The motherfucking D
emocratic Party. You know what I mean? That's the point, kind of. I hope people understand that. That is the point of this. Having Alyssa Farah on this panel is insane too. Her dad ran one of the most psycho websites ever to exist. It was QAnon shit 15 years before QAnon. Alyssa wrote articles for that conspiracy shit site. Yeah. Noisy with another 50 big ones. DNC should be the ones worrying about that if their job is to win fucking elections, but their job is not really. I mean, I'm sure they'
ll get the worst lessons out of this and will fucking complain that this is Bernie bro 2.0. Let's go back to Jake and DJ. Thanks, Anderson. Let's bring you a key race alert because we have more votes coming in on the Democratic side. President Joe Biden, the incumbent. With an estimated 13% of the vote in has 79.1% of the vote. That's 106,127 votes. That's 85,391 votes ahead of uncommitted. Uncommitted has 15.5% of the vote. That's 20,721. What's significant about this, we should note, is that e
very primary, there are about 20,000 votes for uncommitted on the Democratic side and the Republican side. Every primary. So they've hit the floor of 20,000 with only 13% of the estimated vote in, meaning Uncommitted is going to have a night like we haven't seen in a long, long time. On the Republican side, Michigan in the... Honestly, this is the none of the above election. Nevada, none of the above defeating Nikki Haley, uncommitted reaching like record breaking numbers. It says everything you
need to know about how, it says everything you need to know about how Americans kind of feel about the situation. For the record, I just want to point something out here that's very important. Ok. I want people to understand. The notion that this is wrong, the uncommitted campaign is wrong, is something that you're going to hear from diehard liberals in the upcoming days. They're going to say, like, that's really fucked up. But remember, they said it's really fucked up to protest. They said it'
s anti-Semitic to protest against Israel. They said it's really fucked up to vote uncommitted. They said, oh, you don't want the Democrats to win because you want Donald Trump to win. This is the safest possible way to operate within the confines of the Democratic Party. To send a message to the Democratic Party. At a certain point, you have to remember, like a lot of these people don't give a fuck. Ok. They just don't care. They just don't want you to vote or say anything. And if you're pro-Bid
en, they want you to be sufficiently pro-Biden. They want you to sing his praises. They want you to be enthusiastically voting for him. The uncommitted coalition, Democrat, Republican, pissed off. What the fuck? The question is, in time, most people tend to go back to their partisan home come November, especially in a consequential election. But, I'll raise a point we haven't talked about tonight. Not only, not only will you have the, do they go, the Republicans go back to Trump, and I'll just s
how the number, she's shy of 30%, and do the uncommitteds go back to Biden, what are the third party options in Michigan? I'm voting for RFK Jr., folks, because I want someone who is just as aggro on defending Israel, but also is an anti-vaxxer and is anti-Semitic, like outwardly anti-Semitic. Says things like, Ashkenazi Jews and the Chinese made the virus, coronavirus together to kill white people. That type, that's the shit I'm on, you know what I mean? That's what I like. Just look. This is w
here Donald Trump gets 72. This is where Donald Trump gets 77. This is where Donald Trump gets 60. This is where Donald Trump gets 72. In most of this, Donald Trump's going to run it up. So you see a 66% percentage for him right now. Unless she makes up some ground down here in Detroit and in the suburbs right around it, that percentage could actually grow. Yeah, could you bring up the Democratic results again? Because it's such an excellent point you just raised. Because there's been a lot of t
alk about third party candidates like Robert Kennedy Jr. getting a lot of attention. But as you know, the real risk is on Biden's left, his left flank. What about Jay? Bro. Bro, they don't want to talk about Cenk because they're afraid of the Cenk mental. For the uncommitted people, this is about flexing their muscles and showing the Biden campaign, look how many of us there are. This is Michigan. You will either win Michigan or lose Michigan based on how you act towards us. That's the message t
hey are trying to send. I want to go to David Challian right now for a second just to get an update on the delegate count because obviously this is at the end of the day a race for delegates. David. Yes, Jake. So we are able to start allocating some of the delegates on the Democratic side based on the vote already coming in. So there are 117 delegates at stake tonight in Michigan on the Democratic side. You see it there in the upper right hand corner. Joe Biden now has 27 delegates. We have 90 d
elegates that are so far unallocated. Dean Phillips has zero delegates. If you look at delegates to date in the Democratic contest, You'll see that Joe Biden has 118 delegates. I love this music playing in the background, dude. Like, wow. Guys, I promise, this is a very serious primary. Ok? This is a very serious primary. There's some serious political opposition to Joseph Robinette Biden. Just make no mistake. Don't look at the picture. I know it sounds funny. How do we get... I know it sounds
funny when you just look at the picture, but if you hear the music, then it becomes way funnier. Proportionally. So you need at least 15% of the vote statewide or in a congressional district to win delegates. And I do want to note, since we're spending so much time talking about the uncommitted vote tonight, if uncommitted actually wins delegates, meaning they get to that 15% threshold statewide or in a congressional district, those delegates will go to the convention in Chicago unbound. They wi
ll not be bound to anybody, and obviously we will watch as the process plays out as to who those humans are, the delegates that go through a convention process. Oh my god, I stole this from chat, but I'm gonna say it. Yeah, CNN might as well be China the way they're doing Uyghur erasure right now, dude. Where the fuck is my man, Cenk? Goddamn, son! David Chalian. So, is it unfair of me to extrapolate that there's 15% of the estimated vote in, and we have more than 20,000. Is it unfair for me to
extrapolate, wow, this number could get 80,000, 100,000? I don't think it's unfair at all to extrapolate, it's going to get significantly bigger. How big? Just one quick point, you know, the lot of gray up here, that means no votes yet. Those are smaller rural counties, so there's not a lot of math there. However, we have nothing yet, barely nothing, 1% of the vote from Wayne County, which is by far the largest population center in the state, and by far, With 154,000 votes. Donald Trump in 2016
won Michigan with roughly 10,000 votes. Those kinds of numbers really, really matter. We are standing by for even more actual votes to come in from Michigan. Tracking support for the President of Iowa. And for the protest vote for uncommitted. Up next, we're going to talk to a key member of Michigan's congressional delegation who has been trying to warn the President for a long, long time. He has a problem in her state. We'll be right back. Oh my god. Cenk for Prez? You know it, baby. Our econom
y is going to shit. Things are inflated. Gas prices are rising. When Trump was in office, gas prices were... Because we're not drilling enough. The best. We're not. We're not. Our country is in debt and it keeps getting worse and worse. What's one of the biggest issues you have as a voter? I don't know if it's necessarily an issue. Like I said, I think it's, you know, just one of the things that I'm really, I'm looking forward to if he's elected is doing away with the income tax, which means mor
e money in everybody's pocket. You know, and again, it's, it might be wishful thinking, but it kind of puts hope in a lot of people's eyes. And especially I know mine, having a, you know, a daughter and being a single dad. It's something that I'm really praying for and hoping for if he's elected. One thing we were talking about is it's like the corporate, you know, Amazon doesn't use Yeah, and also, yeah, give her the income tax for people and, you know, what about for these corporations that pa
y zero taxes? Yeah, I mean, it's insane the amount of loopholes that they get. As much money as they make and the loopholes that they have and they can use, but for us, it's like in every which way they can, they get the extra dollar out of us. So, you know, get rid of income tax for private citizens. Yeah. And for, you know, corporations. Exactly. Let them pay the taxes. Yeah, I completely agree. I mean, it's, you know, it's just, it's nuts to me, you know, as much money as they make, like I sa
id, it's, you know, they have every way to abuse the tax reforms and things like that. And we are just kind of, we got to get the breadcrumbs, you know, high gas bills or whatever Yeah, it's really funny because that's how they sell it to you, dumbass. That's how they sell you the fucking tax cuts. They're like, oh yeah, you're going to get $5 off from your tax bill on your monthly tax bill. Meanwhile, the fucking hippie top is getting $5 billion off. And you're like, yeah, tax breaks are great.
Oh my God. This dude just said tax the rich unironically. I know, but it doesn't matter because like they don't ever see it that way. They think like put CNN back on. Why? There's nothing going on. Hi Hasan, just got back home from my 15 hour shift on an oil rig. I'm glad to see your soul has not been sucked out. Dude, I love you, man. I really do. Like, one, the assumption in my mind that you actually fucking worked on an oil rig for 15 hours and the first thought you had was like, let me go t
o this fucking socialist political commentator's broadcast to get a fucking quick quip off on him is hilarious to me. Ok, at least I'm advocating for your best interest every goddamn day. You saw a clip out of fucking context and you came in here if you are actually a literal fucking oil rig worker. Ok, you came in here and you're like, you know what, dude, you fucking piece of shit. I'm going to come in and, you know, I'm coming in and take one on you. Definitely. I definitely believe that you'
re an oil rig worker, but also beyond that, I'm still going to be your biggest advocate. You know what I mean? Big oil rig community. No, there's a hell of people that work in construction and shit that watch me, that work in delivery, that work in a shit ton of different jobs that are fucking grueling and awesome. Awful. Not awesome. A brother of mine is actually an oil rig worker and he's a HasanAbi head? Same to me. Well, Anderson, right now they're relatively quiet. Just remember, this was a
n anticipated win. He barely went to Michigan. Since he announced his candidacy, he has only been to the state three times. He's not even there tonight. He's gone to every other state so far on primary or caucus night. Instead, he's just dialing into a watch party to give a call. Now, that's because he was increasingly confident. But one thing that his team is going to use this race for is to really examine the data Part of that is driving a wedge between Biden and organized labor. We saw Donald
Trump in Michigan last week. He was talking about how migrants crossing the border was bad for workers. In September, he visited a non-union shop during an... They are a Miz kid who uses the word golly, so either 14 or 54. Anyway, Teamsters red wave? No. ...Union households from 48% in 2016 to 37% in 2020. But they do believe that they can get some of these rank-and-file union members to come back towards Donald Trump. We know the United Auto Workers has endorsed Joe Biden. The Teamsters, thoug
h, has not yet endorsed. They met with Donald Trump last month. Led to kind of mixed results. We heard some rank-and-file members were happy. We also heard that an executive board member called him a scab and an insurrectionist. No union man is voting Trump. You're wrong, actually. A lot of union men vote for Donald Trump. I mean, it might be a little different this time around with Sean Fain in the lead at the UAW. There are plenty of fucking teamsters and plenty of UAW guys who will still vote
for Donald Trump. They do. In their minds, which I kind of understand, they're like, You know, the Democratic Party is not giving me shit. At least the Republicans are protecting my guns. Or they watch Fox News and the Republican Party is like basically doing something. Teamsters donated 50K to Trump. Sean O'Brien is a conservative. I'll just say it like this. He is no Sean Fain. I wouldn't say he's a conservative. I'm an IBEV. Literally everyone's voting Trump. Yeah, IBEV is another one. But y
eah. Listen, I ride with the Teamsters as you guys know. Where is it? Ok. I'm in a union with a ton of people who don't understand the value of our union. Yeah, I know one union represents these guys would build a concentration camp for a government contract. We'll just have to watch and see what happens there. But they're saying this is a problem for Trump as she has lost the Michigan primary. Yeah, thanks so much. Back with the team here in New York. There's a lot of, there are a lot of fuckin
g union, you know, there's a lot of union rank and filers that 1000% will vote for Donald Trump and did vote for Donald Trump and will do it again and can't wait to fucking do it again as a matter of fact. Anti-capitalist does not mean socialist. It does not mean Marxist-Leninist or anything like that. But unions and the way that they exist is absolutely diametrically opposed to the interests of capital. I have some reservations about unions entrenching labor aristocracy, that's all. Ok. Without
an organized party, the workers will only achieve trade union consciousness. We don't even have trade union consciousness. It's the first step in the right direction. That vote last time, that's more of an even split right now. And I agree with you that there's a working class issue. It's not just a, it's not a white non-college issue alone that he's going to have to address. I work in aerospace and the amount of union workers that are crazy chumpers is sad. Yeah, I know. He indisputably has ec
onomic... Personally, I know. An economic story to tell. But until people feel like the economy is better, and they are beginning to feel that, the question is by November, will that wash... To your point, it's hard for me to say Bidenomics is working when people are still having trouble with the cost of grocery prices. He's a fucking engineer. Engineers don't have, for the most part, any fucking unions. We're talking about the dudes on the floor. That's a whole different story. Can I tell you t
he other thing that I also don't think gets enough attention in Michigan is they signed new voting laws into law last year in 2023 that significantly expanded early voting and mail-in voting. Something that, as you well know, Republicans have struggled with because a lot of Republicans want to advocate for it. Trump has continued to undermine it. And it is something that really could significantly benefit Biden come November. And we see how close the margin has been at times. And that is somethi
ng that, you know, Democrats control all levers of government in Michigan. They signed that into law. You're out of your mind, dude. Engineers don't need a union. Demand for their labor is enough. Bargaining power is such a funny take. It's so untrue. That is ridiculous. It really doesn't matter. I'm an engineer and I know I can leave my job tomorrow and have a job lined up Friday. That's funny, man. That's cool. There are a shit ton of engineers in this chat that would love to have a conversati
on with you about what job market prospects you're looking at. That is so fun. Dude, you are out of control with this take. Ok, number one, it does not matter whether you have better job prospects lined up for yourself, which I would contest. That's number one. Number two, ok, it doesn't matter if you even have better job prospects, if that is actually true, you're still, you are still categorically not getting the benefits and payment package that you should be getting devoid of a union. Ok, ma
rket conditions do not actually factor into this conversation at all in a country where there is very little labor power and very little regulation to protect labor in general. I promise you that you are correct, sir. Ok, never mind, he understands. You still, even if you had a great job market, you still need a union, 100%. But I don't really think that engineers have a phenomenal job. I don't think that engineers have a phenomenal job in the way that they were presented back in the day. I thin
k neoliberalism has even captured that sector as well. They're supposed to be like professional, highly degreed, right? Irreplaceable workers. No. Nope. It doesn't fucking, it doesn't, it doesn't hit in the same way that it used to. Every industry will inevitably turn into what is like, what is the profession of teaching and nurses. Right now the number is approaching 25,000 and what is it you have but with about 16% of the vote in so it's going to be a sizable uncommitted vote. Is this a surpri
se to you in any way? And what do you make of this potential impact? Will the White House change course in any way? So first of all, it's not a surprise to me. I've been telling people that we have a campaign called Listen to Michigan. What do you mean we become like teachers and nurses? People become teachers because of passion. I don't think anybody in this country fucking chooses to be a teacher out of the incredible pay that they're getting. They become a teacher because they love teaching.
That's it. And then they start hating teaching anyway because it doesn't pay well. It's one of those fucking jobs where you have to have a lot of skill, you're overworked, and you're underpaid. And it's an absolutely vital profession. It is a necessity to have a productive labor force. And yet, we have crippled this entire nation's supply of teachers. And it fucking sucks. Absolutely fucking sucks. We often talk about how we have to pay people more or rather that a lot of people that get paid we
ll are getting paid well because it's like a really, really hard job. Holy, this Hasan is out of town. Oh, come on, dude. I am not a socialist. I'm a capitalist. I love capitalism. I love capitalism. I'm a major fan. It's my favorite thing. That's why I'm stealing from the small creator Jake Tapper at CNN. Um... He used every single talking point I knew him out. Yeah, I don't understand that. Did anything change? I'm going to unban this guy because he's saying truths that people must hear. I'm a
capitalist. I love capitalism. Did anything change about my framework for you? You didn't address any of the points. I'm a capitalist and I think teachers should be paid better. I think every sector should be paid more. I think we should fund these programs more and I'm a capitalist. Does this now maybe get you to be, do you want to agree with my point a little bit more now that I said I'm a capitalist and I love capitalism? Did that work? Fuck it. Yeah, I love capitalism. Top of the hour ad br
eak is upon us. Capitalism, baby. You're losing your mind. What do you mean I'm losing my mind? The point I'm trying to make that I guess is lost upon you is that at the top of the hour, there's a three minute ad break. But the second point I'm trying to make that is, I guess, lost upon you is that it doesn't matter if someone's, if I say I'm a capitalist or a socialist, my, my fundamental principles don't change. The things that I advocate for are not changing. So when someone comes in here and
says, you're a capitalist, So who cares? Yeah, I'm a capitalist. I love capitalism. So what? What did you arrive at? You know what I mean? What did you find? It's always people yelling labels at me and then what they assume those labels entail. It's not even like hypocrisy baiting. It is perceived hypocrisy. So ok, sure. Like, it doesn't make any, it doesn't make any sense. Maybe all the people who come in and attack you are billionaires? Trying to figure out how to make sure that what we're se
eing in terms of this uncommitted vote doesn't vote third party or stay home or vote for Donald Trump in November. You know, as you were talking to Congresswoman Dingell, I was thinking about what the Biden administration could do more of. I mean, obviously, we have seen a big shift in rhetoric and policy, as we've been talking about, certainly since right after October 7th. We have seen in the past few weeks, Biden administration officials, as she mentioned, go up and try to talk to people in t
he community. We haven't seen the president himself. And he's good in the room. I mean, he knows how to talk to people. And he knows how to certainly express empathy for people's pain. And so my question is, how quickly after this, regardless of whether the numbers get much, much higher or not, is he going to go to Michigan and not make the mistake, frankly, that the Clinton campaign did, which is not taking Michigan as seriously. Very different issues. David? I also thought the other thing that
Congresswoman Dingell said that we should keep our mind, she said women are going to be a huge factor here. She said it a few times. Yeah, and I think it's important for us to remember, abortion rights was an enormous battle in Michigan. It was part of Governor Whitmer's huge re-election success, flipping the legislature to Democrats. We're not even talking about something like that in the context of this Democratic primary tonight with Uncommitted, but I guarantee you that Governor Whitmer is
going to make sure the issue of abortion rights is central to this Trump versus Biden campaign in this battleground. Although she can't make it a referendum because she already did that. She already did that for her own re-election. That's a governor's prerogative. Lots of votes still to count tonight in Michigan. We're tracking them as they come in. Coming up, we're going to talk with a key member of the Biden-Harris re-election campaign as the Democratic protest vote for uncommitted picks up v
otes. We're back in a moment. Stay with us. Damn, dude, they're trying to fucking milk this goddamn thing for every ounce of worth here. It's crazy. Just like, yeah, we caught the moment Anderson Cooper popped off. Alright, I'm fucking bored of this shit. Nah, I don't want to do the British food show. I'll do the yes theory. Castro Eurostep. Never forget, Castro spamming the Eurostep so much that it made Che Guevara question his commitment to the revolution. Journal entry by Che Guevara, 12th of
December, 1962. In his frequent basketball matches, Fidel has started using a new move he simply calls the step. It is undeniably effective, yet its goodness is equally undeniable. Yet is its goodness equally undeniable? As revolutionaries, we must not merely pay attention to ends, but to means. I worry that this flash and pop is not befitting of the revolutionary leader. It serves to separate him too much from those caught in the chains of a maudlin life, marred by oppression and economic stri
fe. Yes, it leads to a basket, but at what cost to the communal spirit? This is not real, but it's pretty funny. This seemingly uninteresting patch of land, is one of the most important places on earth, but almost no one Has ever heard of it? Kept completely secret, erased from any maps for decades, this area we're heading straight into right now is where the Soviets during the arms race with America invented, tested, and detonated 456 of their nuclear and hydrogen bombs. The unaware locals of t
he region having later to bear its consequences forever. Equivalent to the Los Alamos of the United States, what the Soviet Oppenheimer would create here would change the course of history as we know it today. And there is evidence left behind of the work that was done. Abandoned bunkers, a radioactive lake, but most importantly, first-hand stories from the people who lived through it, who have never spoken to anyone on camera before until now. We'll be heading to this desolate wasteland called
the Semipalatinsk Test Site. Located in the northeast of Kazakhstan. The most nuked place on the planet. With a scientist and expert, Yerlin, the only person allowed to legally take people to this site. I don't think that any of us going into this trip, however, had fully grasped the importance of where we were headed to. It's a video. Yeah, their energy is amazing. Their smiles are beautiful. You give good hugs. Looks like how Chernobyl started. Everyone was very jolly until we got there. You a
re a scientist? I am. Coincidentally, both tour guide and also I have education in this field. I studied in the institute that was related to Soviet atomic industry. He's so sick. But the institute itself was established as a part of Soviet atomic project. He's so sick. To start our expedition and before our more intense exploration of the radioactive lake, we set course to what was likely the most secretive town in the USSR, the Los Alamos of the Soviet Union. Strangely enough, even though Los
Alamos was completely dismantled, most of this town still remains. What's the name of this town that we're in right now? Oh my god, bro, what is that? Oppenheimer could never, dog. Are you for fucking real right now? Dude, my goat, my goat, as one of your few centrist chatters, please do not fall for Soviet lies. What? As probably your only independent chatterer, I think you need to react to Les Guevara lol. The USSR had Nazi scientists in his nuclear program. As one of your few centrist chatter
ers, please do not fall for Soviet lies. Bro, I don't care what you say right now. Ok. Let me tell you, that beard ain't telling a lie. When I tell you, this man had a better beard than Oppenheimer. Ok. It's just the truth. Also, I love that he said the USSR had Nazi scientists in his nuclear program. Yeah, I know. You know who else had Nazi scientists in their nuclear program? NASA in general. Oh, man. Wait till you find out what America did. Technical leader of whole Soviet atomic project. It
got better? Hey, yo! Dude, that's crazy. How would he compare to Oppenheimer? He was a counterpart or peer to Robert Oppenheimer. Before the war he had quite different interests. He was engaged mainly in electricity research, in physics. He always dreamed about getting electricity and all kinds of energy, releasing other kinds of energy. His great big true passion was to using nuclear energy peacefully. He was engaged in nuclear research only due to the world global politics. This settlement was
established in 1947. It was never shown in maps. It did. Just saying that because you said America did it as well. I know, dude. It was not possible to buy train tickets for it. I've said USSR has done that too. Local guys being recruited to Soviet army first were transported by airplane to Moscow and landed there and then transported back here and many of them truly served somewhere near Moscow. This was top secret. Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy because both of... Yeah, you're right, Chadder. Both of
the guys working on the nuclear program were communists. So, we're going to step into an abandoned KGB building in one of the most secretive cities of the Cold War. The KGB was at the epicenter of the Soviet Union, serving both for domestic security and foreign intelligence. As a highly secretive organization, they were notorious for their surveillance tactics used for censorship and repression of political opposition Amongst many other purposes. They were in charge of the secrecy of this nucle
ar project. And this was their headquarters. All of these abandoned Soviet buildings were looted. Everything was stripped for. Metals, parts, whatever was left behind when the Soviet army left. And people took advantage of that. So this is what's left. All floors falling apart. You'd say that this city was comparable to Los Alamos? I mean this town, yes. But the secrecy was much stricter here. Damn, their town was way sicker than Los Alamos, bro. What the fuck? They're pooping on us. Their town
was way doper, bro. Look at this. This is a whole ass town. Stronger, yeah. And also much more effective. It's strange to think about how powerful the Soviet Union once was. And to now be standing in its literal ruins. Especially the KGB building was like the most powerful secretive wing of it. We are driving into the place that was dedicated to where the Soviet soldiers lived at the time. This whole place was deserted. As you can imagine, in an area with such a strategic importance, there was a
lot of military infrastructure surrounding it. They said like, oh, this town's abandoned. This is like a mini city. This is massive. Way bigger than I expected. That's so cool. Besides the nuclear project, this area was also hiding a highly strategic and crucial long-range bomber base, as well as a city that housed all of its soldiers and families now reminiscent of Chernobyl. I'm confused what's cool about this. The visuals are fucking sick. What are you talking about? You don't, it's, how is
that not cool? Don't you like looking at like former fucking bustling towns and you look at it from an aerial fucking map and envision what it used to look like? What do you mean? Sick. Anything and everything. I mean the floors just because they, they're the most enforced with steel. I can't be the only one who feels this way, right? Literally, everything is gone. It is really strange to be like, we've been to a lot of abandoned buildings, but they usually just left, you know, they're not loote
d for the steel and the concrete. It almost resembles this complete imbalance of using resources and time and material to put in something that eventually meant nothing. I don't know man, it looks like a normal democrat run city to me. Well, as you know, communism is the ultimate form of democratic party antics. So, it's just like, this is the most democratic run city in some ways. And just like the state of like wanting to just collect any resources that can help elevate them and their families
out of the state that they were in. Although the soldiers of this unmarked town left, some of the locals who lived here and others who worked directly at the nuclear test site at the time still remain. Given the secrecy they lived in for so long, many refused to talk to us. However, after weeks of preliminary work from Euroland, we found four... Bro, I wonder what happened. After the dissolution of the USSR that like caused people to basically go back to all of the previously standing structure
s and remove steel beams and shit. That must have been a, that's the greatest indictment for socialism I've seen thus far, you know. Four people who agreed to share their stories, including one woman who was the last to live in this abandoned military town. And most who have never shared their stories ever before. As we make our way towards the exact places 456 bombs were detonated, we'd first hear four people's shocking stories who saw them in the sky. We worked as passers-by. In the city of De
geler, we broke through the barns, prepared What year did you move here? 1976. 1976. When he saw the test, it was the Soviet Union. When he worked, it was already modern Kazakhstan. And the National Nuclear Center is engaged in the liquidation of infrastructure and all the consequences of the nuclear test on the territory of the Simplatino Polycon. How did you know that it was so scary? Now everything is written and told and shown. And then what did we know? We didn't know anything. What did the
teacher teach at school? Where is the high dose of radiation? Up to 30 minutes. If it does not exceed the norm, we worked more. And so, there was an excess of radiation dose. It affected my health. Thank God, I will be 73 years old. I feel good. You look younger. And was he aware of the world politics that drove all this activity? I don't know, but this dude was literally fucking duking it out in radioactive materials and his hairline is out of control at the 70 plus, 80 plus year old age that
he's at. And the drip is immaculate. I'm not mad. Ok, maybe, maybe there is something to this fucking nuclear stuff. It's kind of crazy. Dude's hairline is better than mine at the age of 90. Ok. And what happened? Nothing. They left and that's it. Who moved where and that's it, the military. Well, people left, but you can't stop them, because they had to live on, work, children, families had to work somehow, so they left. The military, all of them, and we didn't have any military, we didn't go a
nywhere. And from 1996 to 1999 we worked with the Americans. We closed the barns. So he basically disconnected the last warhead that was... So there was just a bomb here after the Soviet Union broke down. Yes, it stayed there for four years more. I don't think I've ever been a part of telling a story of such amplitude that has never really been told before. Like Chernobyl, people had told that story before. But here, people are speaking to us for the very first time. We're staying tonight. Where
has it taken us? Welcome to USSR. First Soviet building, still interior is preserved as Soviet interior. Is it more people staying here? Nobody except, it is not commercial at all. It is corporate hotel. What? That's sick. Time to check in our rooms. That's so sick. Why am I scared? Oh wow, I have two beds in here. Then I guess we're sleeping in here because I don't dare to sleep alone. The fuck do you think is going to happen, dude? Do you think fucking... What do you mean? Hello, my friends.

On this vast plain of dust was where more nuclear tests were conducted than any other place on Earth. The most nuked place on the planet. Criterias were quite strict to choose the land. First criteria was as low as possible density of population. Here it is less than one person per thousand square kilometers. In 1953, first hydrogen bomb
in the world was blasted between four and five hundred kilotons. Megaton. Xar Bomba. Six months earlier, USA already tested hydrogen technology, but it was not a real bomb, it was just a hydrogen device. All accumulated arsenals of USA and USSR were able to kill everything, all life in the earth more than 600 times and literally crack the planet into pieces. We could do what? Destroy? Destroy all life in the planet more than 600 times and crack the planet literally. Wrecks the planet. Oh my God
. What point do you stop? At what point do you go? We have enough, you know, like, I mean, is there any Why do they sound like your impression of Russians? Because my impression of my Russian accent is goaded. That's why. Their own consequence, right? Well, if someone decides to press a button, human civilization is pretty much... Now headed to the command center where they detonated the bomb. So it's a bunker that is about 12 kilometers out. Wow. They used some thick steel here. It's so well en
forced. So it was designed to bear direct atomic bombing. You see the walls are about two meters thick as well as the ceiling. So even the locals around here didn't know that this was happening here? No. Nobody knew? No. Woah. What the fuck? So they're just like blowing up nuclear bombs right around the area and they're just like sitting there like, oh shit, shit's shaking again. To an underground laboratory, 86 meters down. Locals, the area had the population density of one person per 1,000 kil
ometer. The door entrance and the cabin of the elevator. A guy. Descended there by rope, he says the equipment is still there, just flooded by ground waters. Is this where they detonated the bomb from? Yes. But you had to lay down because... Because a shockwave can smash you? What are you feeling right now? It's just so sad that we've spent all these resources and human power into just such f**king bulls**t. And we still do it. They look Asian. No way, dude. That's crazy. I wonder why they look
Asian. So strange for these guys. So strange for these guys to look Asian. It's funny because we were just talking about, we were literally just talking about how massive the Asian continent is and how insanely diverse the race of Asian actually is and like all it technically encompasses. It was time to head to the epicenter of it. We're on our way to one of the only accessible yet still... Chatter, chatter. What kind of Chinese are these guys? What's going on? Them Chinese... Speaking Russian,
it seems like. What the hell? ...active testing sites in Kazakhstan, Lake Chagan, which we will need protective gear for. On January 15, 1965, the Soviet Union tested... It's pretty funny because they're Turks. So, there you go. They're the Turkish Chinese. I don't mean Xinjiang. I mean Turkish Chinese. ...hydrogen bomb 11 times the strength of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima by the United States military in 1945. ... That 140 kiloton device was buried nearly 180 meters in the ground and upon deto
nation, the blast created a crater of 454 meters wide and 100 meters deep, throwing soil nearly one and a half kilometers up in the air. The blast was so large that it took the dust nearly 50 days to settle, forming the current hills that now surround the crater. Shortly after the test, a nearby river was diverted to fill the crater and turn it into what locals now call Ok, all jokes aside, they are Turkic, not Turkish. I was, I was kidding, but, but like a lot of the Stan nations are Turkic. Th
e atomic lake. Different. Do not pick anything from the ground. When walking, try to erase it as little dust as possible. The most heavily contaminated areas of the test sites are completely fenced off from the public. This lake, however, has levels safe enough to approach with protective gear on. We must be careful about our time spent here and making sure we don't inhale or kick up any of the dust below the snow. It's so crazy that we're like, we are in where the nuclear explosion happened. Al
l this is unnatural. All this dust that you're seeing, all these hills, it's just the displaced soil that was inside the crater. Why are they wearing masks, brother? Typical. Typical communist Chinese, brother. Always trying to get motherfuckers to wear masks. Handsome Americans like this fella should not be wearing a mask here, ok? I don't want no goddamn face diaper. I'll take that fucking radiation. It's fake. Nukes are fake. Radiation is fake. And so is the Chinese Communist Party's mask wea
ring activities. Ready? Ready. At first there is a flash, such a flash, of course, it is impossible. And then the flu comes out. I said, the feeling, we were children, but in some soul, not out of fear, but there was such a moment that something bad is being done, you know, because the feeling was inside. This is so sick. The Yes Theory guys are crazy. Jesus Christ, dude. Damn, they made an earth pussy, an earth pussy, if you will. Well, like this, like this. And the earth is like a leg, and the
n it's so big. I read that in the chat. I didn't come up with that. I didn't come up with that. I was about to pull up Barry Keegan and fuck that crater. Right in the earth, you see. Because of dust, it was so black that it looked like in the night. Ok, that one I said myself. That wasn't from the chat. I will take responsibility for that statement. I apologize. It's crazy the scale of it when you're in it. How did one explosion make all of this? And why? And why, yeah. Exactly. Why? That's a gr
eat question. Why? Have you ever heard anyone being affected by a nuclear test? Now everyone tells us that all these diseases are a test for us. Well, the emissions, of course, were nuclear, because in 1989 I was pregnant with my son. Now my son has a birth cataract. He has minus 16 diopters. This is radiation, this is complete radiation. There is even a medical encyclopedia. There is radiation. Any colleagues in work who did similar work to him that have had health complications that affected t
hem in a negative way? On the very spot we are walking, blew a bomb that could have incinerated an entire city. As we walk on the ashes of the very definition of destruction, one cannot help but feel existential about how our fear of those we consider our enemy drove some of humanity's greatest minds to bring such carnage into existence. Having all been up close to such destruction, we wanted to know how they all felt about the current state of the world. As someone who's participated in kind of
dismantling the system after Soviet Union collapsed, what do you feel seeing the world kind of descend into another Cold War? Yo, that shit looks fire, unrelated to the main subject, but goddamn, that looks dank as hell. The threat of nuclear war rising again and being at an all-time high since then. Well, of course, I have a very bad attitude towards this. Achievements, achievements. Each state has its own. Well, I wanted there to be a peaceful sky. Boursaki. Yes, above my head, so that there
would be no conflicts with anyone. And we, the Kazakhs, we want there to be always a peaceful population. And so that nuclear explosions, I also urge everyone who has a nuclear power, yes, well, to reduce or somehow, in general, You have a great grandson. This guy is not participating in the HasanAbi doctrine, it seems. Son here, and your grandson. What is your message to all the young people in the world? He runs every day and he goes to swimming pool still to this day. First of all, for the wh
ole world to refuse this. And my position is that people understand it all correctly and understand how bad it is. Because among today's youth there are ambassadors and ministers of the future, and therefore they should have a clear formation of this thought. That's all. Chat is about to cancel this lady for saying Ukraine is at war with Russia. Reddit is about to hunt down this woman and be like, excuse me, ma'am, you now have to evacuate your home. My sister has been living in Russia for half
a year, and now she has to go to war for half a year. It's terrible. It's horrible. I'm against war. I don't know. I can't understand people who want war. Why are you, how to say, quarreling between countries? You are friends, you go to each other, you trade. If you don't have something, give it to someone else. If you don't have it, take it. You don't need to fight, you don't need to. Peace, peace, peace, peace is needed. Peace, peace. And you need to help each other. Kazakhstan abandoned all o

No way. He gave them his nuclear disarmament medal? That's insane, bro. Don't take that. Yo. Wow. Thank you. You can tell him that we will protect it and spread peace as far as possible with his messages. Wow. That was amazing. Wait, why does he have that? What do you mean? He participated in the disa
rmament of the last nuke that Kazakhstan had. He should have at least given him his YouTube play button in return. Yeah, dude, that's crazy. That's so sick. He gave it away so he can start rearming. Ok, thank God. That makes sense. It's radioactive. It will slowly kill all Americans from Mother Russia. I love this channel. Yes, theory is so good. Alright, I'm done for the day, boys. The hardest job in the world is done. We'll do one last check up on CNN to see where Uncommitted is at. There ain'
t no way Nikki Haley's back on. This is, they're doing a rerun, right? Look, there is a voice out there for you. There is a way out. Yes, we are fighting through. Yes. Yes, unequivocally, you ran through Super Tuesday. Absolutely. We have a country to save. Absolutely. Uncommitted at 14.4%. Alright. She's not dropping. We need you, Nikki, right now. To lead our nation. So, that's why. That's why she ain't dropping. Anyway, everybody. You already know. Love you all. And I will see you tomorrow. P
eace. From the Middle East. Or in the Middle East. Be kind to one another. And I'll see you tomorrow. Bye-bye. The hole left at your fingertips. I lay at your door. The H3 crowded debate. The Young Turks online show. Three full fucking years of this. Plenty more to go. 90 day fiance talks of champagne bourgeoisie. A Trump rally live reaction on mass riot at D.C. There he is again, Hasan is streaming, Hasan is streaming. There he is again, Hasan is streaming, Hasan is streaming. Folk home as pand
emic monsters streaming at your home. Total radicalization coming. The system you were taught to trust in was broken the whole time. All these daily streams. Whether big or whether small, I've helped me and so many find the meaning through it all. There he is again, Hasan is streaming. Hasan is streaming.
