where every day is casual Friday. That

means Monday is casual Monday, Tuesday,

casual Tuesday, Wednesday, casual hump

day, Thursday, casual ths. That's what

we call it. And Friday, casual Shabbat,

It is Friday,

October 31st, 2025. My name is Sam

Cedar. This is the fivetime

award-winning majority report.

We are broadcasting live steps from the

industrially ravaged Gowanas Canal in

the heartland of America, downtown

Brooklyn, USA.

National correspondent or I should say

national affairs correspondent at the

nation magazine Jeet here will be here

to go over the week that was also on the

program today. Federal judge in Boston.

You heard about this case directly from

the Massachusetts Attorney General

likely to order Trump administration to

fund SNAP.

Meanwhile, Trump calls for nuking the

filibuster in the Senate to end the shutdown.

shutdown.

>> Senate Republicans are bing at that. >> Huh.

>> Huh.

New uh breaking report. A US strike

>> Trump sets minuscule 7500 annual limit

for refugees entering the US and most of

those spots

are being reserved by supposed oppressed

Senate Republican mutiny on tariff grows

doesn't mean anything though because

that last continuing resolution or I

should say budget deal in the spring

essentially said Congress would have no

authority to overthrow those tariffs

until 2026 when

>> shocking increases in the ACA exchange

rates become clear as day

this speak.

Meanwhile, Trump looking to block

student loan forgiveness based on an

ideology test.

>> It's a bad ideology.

In surprise, the centrist D66 beats the

far right in Dutch elections.

>> Pentagon training 25,000 special guard

to be deployed in all 50 states for

civil unrest in a moment's notice.

BW workers in Chattanooga vote for

strike authorization while Starbucks

workers plan pickets and strike

authorization vote to demand their first contract.

contract.

Texas Supreme Court allows judges to

refuse to perform same-sex marriages.

And lastly,

the heartbreaking story of Prince Andrew

to be deprinced in wake of the Epstein

revelations. All this

>> that was my whole childhood

>> and more Ryan had

for many years looked up to Prince

Andrew as a role model and uh being a monarch.

monarch.

>> Dreamed of being a princess. I thought

that's what you wanted. You wanted to

marry into the royal family. You're

always talking about that.

>> Marry Prince Andrew. >> Yeah.

>> Yeah.

>> No, I just always thought I never saw

any red flags. He always seemed like a

great guy.

>> Oh, gotcha.

>> Yeah. Yeah.

>> Brian was uh always looked up to him. Uh

it is it is casual Friday. Uh

>> Emma Vigland wearing a casual sweater.

>> Yeah. It's a miracle I was able to find

anything to wear because everything's in

boxes. So, uh, getting dressed is very

stressful these days, but uh, I'm going

to unpack soon, any day now.

>> It's also Halloween.

>> It's a spooky ambiance. >> Oh.

>> Oh.

>> Oh, thank you for that. Um, I thought

you were moving a desk. You know, we got

to be

>> we got to be careful uh uh to some

extent because back in the day

>> we used to do the Ken Ken Ken show and

anything that we do now even by saying

this sounds like exactly how we would

have set up the Ken Ken and Ken show.

>> You can't freaking dress up like

anything no more. >> N

>> N

um maybe we'll get back to that. Maybe

in in a year or two or something we'll

we'll do another iteration of Ken Ken

and Ken. But um frankly too much news. Um

Um >> yep,

>> yep,

>> it is too much news out there uh these

days. Um

we uh November 1st is open enrollment.

People are going to start signing up for

health insurance and they're going to

see massive increases in their health

insurance for uh a couple reasons.

The first reason is of course is that we

have a ridiculous system in this country

where for some reason completely

completely

adding zero value to health care in any

fashion. We have decided that we're

going to have middlemen

between paying for health care

and uh the citizens who uh who pay for

that healthcare and the hospitals. And

these middlemen are going to be private

insurance insurers who add nothing

to the process.

>> The equivalent of a mafia man taking a

cut as a part of a racket. Here's the

thing. With a mafia man taking a cut,

you get ostensibly protection.

>> Protection, right?

>> Right. Like with with the health with

the private health insurance system, you

don't get cost controls. You don't get

more efficiency. You don't get more

coverage. You don't get ease of use. You

get you don't get consistency in

pricing. You get nothing. You don't get

predictability. you get absolutely

nothing. The federal government could

provide this health insurance and they

do it already for

maybe a total of over like onethird of

the country between Medicare and

Medicaid at this point. They could

provide this health insurance and it

would be far more efficient. It would

provide cost uh containment measures. It

would be cheaper

per capita when you add up the

government and uh private expenditures

as it exists now. It would be a much

better system. We don't have that system.

system.

That's part of the reason why rates are

going up. They're going to go up 18%

more or less because of just healthc

care inflation.

Perhaps some of that is also like

tariffs on medical equipment and

whatnot. But they're going to go up an

extra 8%

because there is such uncertainty in

these markets because the Republicans

are a going to be booting off a lot of

people from uh Medicaid.

And B, they're going to be uh uh cutting

back on the subsidies that the

government subsidizes in the exchanges,

which means that there going to be less

people who are going to even want health

insurance. And that means that you're

going to have a deterioration of the

risk pool because generally healthier

people will leave the insurance market.

And that means risk pools that have more

concentration of unhealthy people are

more expensive. And insurance companies

are in the game of insurance. And so

what they do is they hedge their bets by

raising rates. let alone what hospitals

are going to experience with uh people

coming in for emergency care because

they're not getting any preventative

care for example. They're going to cost

and they're going to increase their uh

their uh rates because their costs are

not are uncovered. ER er is a much more

expensive way of dealing with these

things and generally uh because people

haven't had ongoing care they uh they

come in with more acute problems. It's

just like, you know, you don't get your

oil changed every five, well, three to

7,000 miles. I mean, there's a lot of

different, but uh the bottom line is you

don't get your oil changed. Uh one day

you're going to be driving your car and

your engine's going to seize up and it's

going to be a lot more expensive. Uh but

here is Dr. Oz, who is ostensibly in

charge of these things. Um he is in the

department of health and human services

at the uh CMS, the um uh essentially in

charge of Medicaid and Medicare. And

here he is um either just completely

ignorant as to what's about to happen or

out and out lying.

>> You mentioned at at the top that you

want medications to be affordable,

effective, and safe for Americans. We're

speaking today on the day that window

shopping began in the Affordable Care

Act program on those marketplaces and

that shows that uh unless those tax

credits are extended, those subsidies,

um the average plan will increase for

Americans by it's somewhere around 115%.

Do you believe that Congress should

extend those subsidies so that most

Americans do not receive significant

increases in their premiums?

>> Where'd you get that 115% number from?

>> Kaiser Family Foundation.

>> They retracted that

that that data was run inappropriately.

They changed the messaging on it. Go

back and look at the website. Here's the

truth. The window shopping is already

revealing that the average American

>> is going to pay about who's on the ACA

between 100 and 400% of poverty level is

going to pay $50.

>> Pause it for one second. I want you to

just listen to what he just said. Pause

it for a second there. He said the

average American and then he qualified

that by saying who is earning between

Well, the people who are on the ACA

are uh 104 104% of poverty.

The people who are on the ACA make

anywhere from uh just above 133 uh 133%

of poverty

up to 400% of poverty. So, he's

discounting a huge swath, maybe 10

million Americans who are going to be

impacted uh by increases here. He's also

wrong about the 115%

um increases. Pop up this thing from uh

Kaiser. He misread this thing. Um scroll

down here.

>> Yeah, there it is. Can we zoom in on that?

that?

>> The 114 Well, it's up there. It doesn't matter.

matter.

>> I can read it though. 114%

>> premium payments could more than double

on average rising by 114% in marketplace

enrolles who currently receive financial

assistance the ACA enhanced premium tax

credits. So I my guess is is that Oz saw

like okay Kaiser says there's going to

be a 26% increase in premiums in the ACA

and that is true. there's an automatic

26% that's baked in just because of

medical inflation and then insecurity as

to what's going to happen with these

premium with these uh >> right

>> right

>> uh subsidies and then if the subsidies

don't go through

the final tally is not going to be 26%

increase it's going to be a 114% increase

increase

that is um that's a big number.

Um there are some numbers out there

and these are benchmark plans. If you

have a um a 64 year old, now of course

uh 64 year olds are a year out from

Medicaid uh excuse me, Medicare. And

ostensibly, the insurance company thinks

64 year olds are going to be possibly

the most expensive outside of people who

already have uh any type of pre-existing

issues. a 64 year old couple in

Morgantown uh Morgantown household

income of 85K

will see their premiums

that were uh at 552 for silver plans,

the lowest of the silver plans

That's going to increase by $4,000 per

month. So that's on the highest end.

That's the highest end.

New York Times uh reports

if you're age 27

and uh your monthly premiums without the

extra subsidies, age 27, you make $22,000,

$22,000,

it's going to be almost 700 $800 a year increase.

increase.

If you're age 40, again, $800 a year.

Age 60, $800 a year. If you start, if

you make $35,000,

it's going to be a hundred uh it's going

to be over $1,400

extra a year. If you make $65,000

and you're on there, it's going to be

anywhere from $80 to $920

uh monthly increase. Monthly

$920. If you're age 60 and you make

$65,000 a year, you're going to be

paying an extra almost $12,000

a year.

there's not going to be any increase uh

at all for age 27 and 40 and then just

uh basically $8,000. >> Yeah,

>> Yeah,

>> that's without those subsidies.

um this is going to hit hard and the

Republicans are scrambling now claiming

they have a health care plan and they

haven't they haven't had one in

over a decade.

>> Uh they tried to

>> vote down the ACA

>> how many times was it?

>> Was it like 50 times? I think they had

50 vote literally 50 votes.

>> But John McCain was responsible under

Trump 1.0 you know, for being the vote

that didn't allow that to pass. Um, but

the secret of like part of what I I'm,

you know, is part of the tension here is

is that I mean, the House Republicans

who are this beholden to Trump right

now, do they not have concerns about

what this is going to mean for them when

every single one of them is up in the

midterms in around a year and change

from now? Like I mean they're the

Democrats have to hold firm on this

because it's the right thing to do. But

if this is the only concession that they

get from this shutdown, which is likely

to be the longest shutdown in history at

the rate that we're going, um all you're

doing is saving Republicans from

themselves here because they're probably

terrified about what this means. Like I

saw that KFF analysis said that the

average in annual premiums is $888 in

2025 and then the average marketplace

consumer is going to be paying $1,900

like which tracks with those percentages

that you mentioned. Um the the Democrats

have to get things like stat in writing

assurances on things like precisions

because what what is this for? If Trump

can just supersede the legislative

process and say, "I'm going to claw back

this money willy-nilly."

>> Exactly. And I think that's why the

Democrats are actually holding firm

because they are asking for that. And uh

there was a piece about uh I can't

remember where I read it, but Mark

Warner generally like of the ilk of

Democrats who would be getting together

and forming some type of like gang of

>> Politico. Yeah.

>> Seven or eight and uh or 10. I don't

know what the swing votes are. Maybe it

would be a gang of 12 in this instance

and they would get together uh with five

or six other Republicans. They would

brand themselves as the moderates and

they would come to some type of

agreement. But the bottom line is

there's no agreement to be had if you

can't trust that the agreement is going

to be upheld and that's basically it. Uh

so uh this is going to be um I think um

I don't know what happens from here. Uh,

but we'll get a sense. Robin, uh, am I

crazy as on? I I am. I pulled up plan

options for next year. My individual

plan will be $670 per month with a $17.5,000

$17.5,000 deductible.

deductible.

My current plan is 180 per month.

and they can try and destroy the um

the ACA, which they very well may end up

doing, but

they're going to do it. Um and they're

going to have nothing. There's going to

be nothing to replace it.

All right. In a minute, we're going to

be talking to um Jeet here about this

about the SNAP benefits that case um had

mentioned earlier. Uh the judge has yet

to rule, but it sure sounds like the

judge is going to rule that they have to

uh provide this money. It has been set

aside in the USDA for emergencies.

Uh the USDA is trying to pretend like

this money is there for emergencies involving

involving

um like natural disasters. And in fact,

uh, this is an emergency, uh, because

you're gonna have 42 million people

without, um, uh, nutrition subsidies.

>> They took the that part of the website

down, by the way, where they talked

about that that was the role for the

emergency contingency fund. The USDA

took it off their website. Just just so brazen.

brazen.

>> Um, let's uh Oh, I just want to read

this before um two things. one uh got an

email from a listener uh Remy. YouTube

played an ICE recruitment ad today

during MR as you were playing the video

of the father and the 16-year-old on the

way to school. Just wanted to alert you

uh to this in case you have any ability

to prevent it. We don't we don't have an

ability. It's either we get the ads or

we don't uh with YouTube. But I will say

this, f ICE, don't join ICE. Don't help

ICE. uh you can't actually

get in their way, but you can be behind

them. Uh and uh reminding people of

their rights, blowing your whistles, and

also calling them um pigs or um other uh

farm animals or uh yes, you can exercise

free speech.

>> Free speech, Adam. Also, uh wanted to

say that um we got an email from the

Missoula Trade Guild.

Uh Tay, uh I've been watching your show

for a while. I know there's some people

in my hometown that possibly watch your

show as well. I'm trying to develop a

trading and bartering system in my

community to help people save a little

money, help build a stronger sense of

community, create more local focused

social network. I was wondering if I

could possibly call in sometime to talk

about this project. Um, feel free to

call in anytime at 6462573920.

Um, but also a great place for stuff

like this is to go on the Discord. Uh,

because we have over 15,000 people who

are on there at any given time. And I'm

sure you'll find people in Missoula.

Uh, Google around, look for the Trade

Guild Missoula

um to check that out. All right, Emma,

do you want to uh read this ad? I know

you've been using the product. Julie's

been using it, too. >> Yes.

>> Yes.

>> Uh, but uh why don't you uh read it since

since

>> Well, I we would like to thank One Skin

for sponsoring today's episode. One Skin

sent us OS01 Face, which is this uh

moisturizer and longevity serum combined

into one. And the OS1 uh uh OS1, sorry,

eye, which is the uh formula that helps

treat the delicate skin around the eyes.

It's really important to have some of

that preventative stuff for things like

crows feet, all of that. I love uh the

texture and the density of the cream. It

is not too light. It is not too heavy.

And um especially as the seasons start

to change, it's getting a little bit

drier here. And look, I don't do the

best job sometimes of taking care of my

skin in the sun in the summer. Uh got to

catch up on treating my skin right with

one skin.

>> Uh Julie says that um uh Julius told me

that um these are the points that she

made. She said uh there's more

elasticity to her her skin.

>> Very nice.

>> She has said um

she has more brightness

>> uh to her skin.

>> I feel that too.

>> Um and she said uh she likes the way

that uh it whatever the dispenser.

>> They've got this great dispenser. Um uh

easy to travel and you know exactly what

to do with your skin routine because

they lay it out for you. Basically,

you've got the eye serum, you've got the

uh moisturizer, and then, you know, uh

read the instructions on the back. And

it's very uh good for sensitive skin. My

skin can be really sensitive. I can have

redness. Uh if you scratch my skin at

all, um got a little sometimes.

>> Who's scratching your skin?

>> Well, I mean, sometimes that happens,

right? If you get a little scratchy or

in the heat, I mean after I work out, my

face is a tomato. So, uh it's it's an

absolute joke, but uh one skin is really

easy on the skin on my skin. It's uh

dermatologist tested, safe for sensitive

skin like myself. NEA approved,

We are back Sam Cedar, Emma Vigland on

the majority report. It is a pleasure to

welcome back to the program Jeet here

who uh I am happy to report has changed

the battery in his smoke detector.

Welcome back.

>> Yeah, it took a couple took a couple of

days but uh we were a little bit

>> concerned. We were concerned. >> Yeah.

>> Yeah.

>> Well, all right. You're safe now. Um

>> yeah, we we managed to survive. We

managed we managed to survive.

>> Okay. All right. Well, um I wanted to uh

let's just start with you. You you wrote

a piece, I think it was last week, about

uh uh the Argentinian bailout, which is

um at this point seems to be somewhere

between 40 and 60 billion. Like we don't

know exactly how big this thing could

balloon to.

>> Um and uh I know you just did a podcast

uh about the uh what's going on with

Venezuela. There was a report uh today

that um

a strike on military military targets in

Venezuela uh could be imminent. People

have been talking about this for some

time that the strikes on the boats were

sort of um some type of prelude to this.

talk about what um your sense is that

Trump is doing here because there is

there seems to be some um plan I guess

for our southern hemisphere.

>> I I wouldn't say with Trump but one

could talk about plans but I think that

there are um instincts and I think that

there are factions and I think I think

both of them have to be kept in mind.

Um, one is the sort of like broader uh,

you know, MAGA America first foreign

policy vision. And I think people

misunderstand uh, this uh, because like

Trump himself presented this as um, you

know, like I'm anti-war. Uh, I want to

stop World War II. Um, and you know,

he's taking advantage of the fact that

the Democrats stupidly, you know,

aligned themselves with a horrific war

in the Middle East. Um but I mean the

whole America first thing if you go back

to um not just Pat Buchanan but you go

back further in history to people like

Robert Taft, Charles Lindberg, uh even

Herbert Hoover um it is a sort of precar

uh vision of the American right and it's

a specific uh foreign policy

orientation. Um for much of the 20th

century the Democrats were more oriented

towards Europe. people like Woodward

Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Kennedy, you

know, like they all valued like and

Truman like NATO building up the

European alliance. The American right

always had a sort of fixation on the

Western Hemisphere. The idea was, you

know, like let the Europeans fight

amongst themselves. it's America's

destiny uh manifest destiny um to you

know control the western hemisphere and

also that the Pacific is America's lake

and we have to be expanding out um into

the Pacific and dominate Asia um and I

think like Trump um you know like

certainly no intellectual but I think um

um on the broader American right there's

been a return to this thinking partially

because the cold war is over uh you know

like Russia now um if you're a Pat

Buchanan like you know Russia is not the

comm godless communist enemy anymore. uh

it's uh you know they they Buchanan said

like you know Putin seems more like a

western Christian man than Barack Obama

and uh so so so the idea has always been

like let's disengage from Europe even

disengage from the Middle East a bit you

know let's have let the Israelis and the

um Saudis carry out our foreign policy

in the Middle East and we can

concentrate on you know like the the

real foe and I I would say more broadly

there's an idea that like the western

hemisphere includes the United States,

you know, le let's bring um our real

enemy is the enemy within uh on the

enemy at the border. I think it's all

tied up with that kind of like sort of xenophobia

xenophobia

uh fear of brownskinned immigrants from

the south. Um and uh within that

orientation, you have like different

factions. Now with Argentina, I think

the person that isn't getting enough

attention is not so much Trump um as

Vasant uh you know who's like sort of

coming from um I believe Goldman Sachs

or you know he comes from that sort of

uh world of high finance and for those

guys um uh he has like ties with people

where like you know heavily invested in Argentina

Argentina

u and need and uh you know uh uh would

like it to be propped up. Um and you

know from the point of view of Argentina

um you know this is almost a classic

debt trap that they're going to be uh

falling into uh because they owe a lot

of money to the United States you know

between 40 and 60 billion as you said

but also the IMF is getting involved and

they share the same agenda as the Trump

administration of sort of like tying

Argentina down with that and then which

will like reinforce this idea of um uh

um austerity and in some ways Argentina

is the sort of the flip side of

Venezuela or of Cuba. Like just as you

don't want Cuba to succeed because that

would be a bad example, you want

Argentina to succeed. So I think that

like the sort of basant you know um

hedge fund faction uh was able to very

play up to this sort of you know um

other currents within MAGA of um

anti-communism, antisocialism

and also this idea of hemispheric domination.

domination.

>> Um and I think to enrich themselves. I

mean, it's it's a twof

in Argentina, but also fulfills that

obligation. Let me ask you this, because

I remember, and you don't hear much talk

about it uh in his second term, but in

his first term, wasn't he sort of like

always talking about Wilsonian um uh in

and and and Wilson being his uh his guy?

And maybe I'm I'm misremembering, but

Wilson had a very similar sort of I

don't know how exactly similar, but his

era was very much a uh u about that

pan-Americanism. Maybe it was McKinley, but

but

>> well, he's been obsessed with McKinley

recently. recently

even banned

in the first um in the first term

because that would sort of make some

sense the idea that like you know we're

going to deal with

>> our part of the world and looking upon

everything that's happening anywhere

from Central America to Latin America is

just sort of like that's where we get

our resources whether it's like

>> Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I I mean the other aspect of this is the

sort of new resource war that's sort

opened up uh with uh uh you know like

batteries and solar and you know like

it's easy for like um people around

Trump to play to that reptilian part of

his brain because Trump has a very uh

primitive understanding of economic

wealth. Economic wealth is like gold,

oil, minerals. So if you want to like

have Trump going anywhere like they they

kept him in UK in Afghanistan by saying

uh Mr. president, there are like these

rare minerals in Afghanistan and that's

why we got to keep our troops there,

right? And Trump always said we are

stupid to go into Iraq and we didn't

even keep the oil uh take the oil. Uh so

so I think it like with um Venezuela uh

and then also Argentina like there is a

kind of you know like promise of the

sort of like resource wealth which

particularly in a sort of competition

with China is becoming increasingly

important because I think uh China's

domination of uh rare earth minerals is

actually like a is a genuine strategic

weakness of the United States. Um

although you know like in reality it's a

weakness not I mean it shows the

primitive understanding here the the

China's rare earth dominance is a matter

of production like they know how to they

have the uh manufacturing capacity to

like refine these things and make them

into technology but but like for Trump's

primitive mind it is like let's get the

gold let's get the minerals let's let's

mine this stuff and put it in a bag and

carry it back home let's be prospectors

Um now with Venezuela I think the the um

so in Argentina as I said Basant is the

sort of I think the hidden hand here in

Venezuela I think it's very

interestingly Marco Rubio and the kind

of Florida Republicans and I think one

thing one way to understand sort of

Trump is he's gone from being a New York

guy to being a Florida guy and Florida

is increasingly the sort of center of

gravity of the Republican party and

Marco Rubio is as much a part of this as

Dantis and even more so because Rubio

has a real you know a very powerful

figure. And for Rubio, he's a sort of

traditional neocon, you know, like he

had been the favorite of the sort of,

you know, traditional hawkish

Republicans. And for him, um, Venezuela

is a way of creating a bridge between

that sort of older George W. Bush

militaristic Republican and Trump

because it's a way of like, you know,

selling like a war um that would be very

appealing to the sort of, you know, Dick

Cheney national security ghouls. um but

selling it to Trump because it has this

advantage of like um hemispheric

domination. we're going after the

supposed drugs. So, we're going to deal

with this sort of, you know, problem of

fentinol and of drug overdoses. Oil

>> like ridiculously. Like, it's a total

lie, right?

Because Venezuela does not actually give

America is not a source of fentinol. Um,

>> but but it's a combination of two of the

most failed policies of the past, I

don't know, hundred years. The war on

drugs and the war on terror. And like

the reason that I I think that's

important to emphasize is because like

there is there's a great piece uh by Ida

Chavez uh in capital and empire which is

a substack now um where basically she

talks about how the under Trump the

intelligence community um there was a

draft and political reported on this of

the Trump administration's national

defense strategy which downplayed China

on their list of threats focusing

returning focus on quote defending the

homeland and hemispheric security which

adds to what you're saying but uh her

piece argues that basically this is an

admission that China has won the war or

the the cold war in the uh uh battle for

things like rare earths and those

resources like China is so far ahead on

that front that this retrenchment to the

western hemisphere is in part an

admission that China has won and it's

almost a uh a were an acceptance of a

multipolar polarity that even though

this is bloody and insane here and going

after Venezuela and being offensive like

this is psychotic at the very there is

underneath that a recognition that this

is not going to we are not the world

superpower anymore basically.

>> Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. And one has

actually seen that in a sort of meeting

with Xi where like Pexet said something

very significant uh which is you know

we're working towards a balance of power

in Asia which is not the traditional

American foreign policy which is that

the United States has to have

hedgeimonyy uh in Asia as in everywhere

else. I I think that it's pretty clear

that uh um

what Shaba says is exactly right and in

fact Hexath in that sort of big meeting

of military he brought you know like all

the generals in to I think Virginia and

one of the things that was really all

about uh this change of orientation uh

the idea of you know like great power

competition uh with China which Trump

had previously promoted is being

downsized to this um and I think the I

the other aspect is the sort

um military display as a way of you know

reaffirming power or you know dealing

with failed masculinity which one also

sees in hexup with you know like our

generals are too fat and we need to

exercise uh but I mean exactly as you

said like um uh you know like Trump has

said and this is a very honest statement

on his part United States has not won a

war since 1945

um and usually what you do is when you

can't win wars um you um have small

little wars But you know, the Roosevelt

called Splendid Little Wars, uh, where,

you know, you go go after Grenada. You know,

know,

>> I was gonna say Grenada. We won Grenada.

And we also, come on.

>> We we also, uh, arrested, um, uh, gosh,

what was his name?

>> N. Yeah, exactly. Nora. Um.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean but but but

those wars I mean like you know uh

George Bush senior said with invading

Panama we finally beat that Vietnam

thing you know like you know like we

showed that we're tough by invading like

a very small country uh that is also

like militarily defended the United

States and you know the case of Grenada

you know

>> I thought that I thought he said that

about Kuwait. I mean the the the first

war was the end of the Vietnam

>> Oh yeah yeah yeah he might have said

that about Yeah about Kuwait. Yeah.

>> But here's the other thing that we

should we should I think deserves

mention. Um, I don't while Trump may be

like sort of uh going much further in

possibly attacking Venezuela,

you know, everybody when Juan Guyaido,

who was ostensibly like a u the head of

a of a coup essentially, uh was invited

to I was it Joe Biden's uh state of the

union address. I mean, you know, the

there has been a

>> the democracy panel like to talk about

promoting democracy.

>> There has been a bipartisan

sort of sense of like we need to have

our person in Venezuela and it is oil.

Period. End of story. There's nothing

else about Venezuela that uh this

country um they don't we don't care

about the democracy there. We don't care

about anything associated with that. We

don't care about any of their other

imports. We don't they're not in a

particularly strategic location for us.

It is oil. That is it bottom line. And

both parties have have like contributed

to this notion that um the that

Venezuela is a danger to us.

>> Yeah. No, absolutely. and one is

actually seeing this in the sort of

opposition to Trump such as it is uh

with the Democrats because I I I think

on the one hand someone like Schumer and

Jeff are very reluctant to talk about

it. They don't talk about it unless

asked. And when they are asked, their

main objection is like, you know, like

why is there no congressional um

participation oversight? They basically

want to be able to rubber stamp this. Um

and yeah, no, it's it's totally a

bipartisan thing. I mean, this goes back

to Emma's point. um you know, you have

created bipartisanly over the last 30

years this um uh or even more this

infrastructure of a war on drugs and a

war on terror. And this allows any

president um including Trump to you know

like unilaterally like launch these

kinds of wars on behalf of stopping

drugs or stopping you know what they now

called micro terrorism. So the idea, you

know, like drugs and terrorism are

somehow conflated. Um, so yeah. Yeah.

No, it's it's absolutely the case. Um,

and in some ways, I mean, that's the

other appeal of sort of like, uh, going

after Venezuela. It's a kind of war

where you can get a cons, you know,

bipartisan consensus for

uh, you know, and coming at a period

where the United States has been

suffering um, uh, a lot of like

basically, you know, either lost or

things are not going as they planned.

Um, you know, certainly the war in Gaza

is very unpopular across the political

spectrum in the United States. Um, and

in Ukraine, I mean, you know,

although one can support the justice of

the Ukrainian cause cause, um, it's

absolutely the case that, uh, you know,

that that war is not going very well

either. So, in some ways, I mean, I do

see like Venezuela as like, you know,

how can the empire get its mojo back?

how can we prove you know we can still

kick ass and you know take prisoners and

uh but but even so like it seems like uh

in a lot of ways a disastrous policy and

I I I am really shocked uh now I

shouldn't be shocked but I mean like

it's really something that Democrats are

not saying more about this blowing up of

votes when you're not sure

>> that's the other thing like I was just

gonna say

>> what what are we doing and and and there

is you know I I I I I like to think that

I'm over I have been over for years the

idea that the media is going to sort of

like without being having their uh hands

held and pulled down a certain road are

going to make an argument particularly

against the use of any type of military

force without uh the Democrats doing

this. But the idea that we have now

randomly killed I don't know 50 people

and have been so public about it. Uh you

know obviously we've killed hundreds of

thousands in the context of a war and uh but

but

>> we the administration has been bragging

about this basically every day. They

have been putting out the uh the video

footage of it. We still are getting

reports from like Trinidad or Tobago

like people are wondering where their

husband is. Uh he went out for fishing

and he hasn't shown up.

>> Yeah, I know. Um I mean it's

>> it's it's unbelievable. And you know, we

played a clip the other day, I think it

was, where Trump

joined together the concept of, you

know, uh we're shoot I think it was when

he was in Japan addressing the um the

naval base um where he said, you know,

um the the the liberal Democrats uh you

know, radical Democrats, they're

complaining about me blowing up the

boats and also we're going to be putting

um you guys speaking to uh the military

into cities and like the the idea that

in his mind those two things are are u

are approximate I I find very

nerve-wracking. Of course,

we know the Pentagon is developing rapid

reaction forces to go into each state

>> uh with 500 people to fight, you know,

civil unrest. Um, basically, you know,

>> developing a Kent State plan, I guess,

is really what it's coming down to. Um,

but let's let's pivot for a second from

from that to uh what's going on in New

York City because

>> I think um

>> I think it probably we would have seen

it either way, but certainly Trump is

going to be very excited at the idea

that he's going to be able to send

troops uh into New York City after Mum

Donnie gets elected. Um, and I think,

you know, I would anticipate we're not

going to see that until next spring or

so, uh, after he's inaugurated if he

wins. Um, but before we get there, your

thoughts about this race in New York

City. Uh, people should be get, you

know, people should be early voting

right now and if not, uh, if you have

already, canvas and call for Manny. But,

uh, go ahead, Jeep.

Yeah, I I I I think the the main

interest of the race is just how much uh

there continues to be a freakout uh over

Manny and like you know like

particularly like I mean like uh Andrew

Ko is like not going to losing

graciously on this like he's he's like

going in on a really ugly way uh you

know like you know talking about like 911

911

um uh you know that like uh incredible

AI ad which I guess they took down and

they blamed on junior staffer, but still

like like you know one of the most you

know like you would have to go back to

Birth of a Nation to find something so

explicitly racist. Uh but I mean I think

that this is sort of uh and also I have

to add like you know just the sort of

incredible curishness of the Democratic

establishment where like Jeffre endorsed

Manny but would wouldn't say his name

and actually spent most of his time

criticizing him in the endorsement. I I

think Schumer still has not said

>> we played it yesterday. We played it

yesterday. He ran away from a question

asking him for Manu Raju. Are you going

to vote for Mom Donnie? And he basically

walked away and he Raju was like the

election is next week. Like voting has

already started and he won't answer the

question. He said we're still having

conversations. Who's buying this anymore

and who is this for other than the

Zionist donor class? Seriously. or billionaire.

billionaire.

>> Yeah. No, that's exactly it. And also

I'd mentioned Hillary Clinton who, you

know, has said, you know, she will not

uh I don't play this. Let's play this

clip. Uh Hillary Clinton, this is uh

number 16. This is um fascinating. I

mean, does Bill Clinton

>> former senator from New York? I just

like the reason I say that is because

you'll you'll understand why that's

relevant when she in her response here.

And does Bill Clinton not still have his

uh his office in uh in Harlem? In

Harlem, I know Bill Clinton didn't

endorse Cuomo in the primary.

>> Yeah. Um this was embarrassing. I guess

this was a Where was she on this? Uh

>> this is called the unholy pod.

>> Okay. Um

>> I line is two Jews on the news.

>> Okay, cool. Uh she was asked here

yesterday on the unholy podcast about uh

whether or not Manny poses a threat to

Jewish people in New York City.

>> Next week in this city, it does seem

like uh Manny will become mayor. I'm

going to ask this quite bluntly. Do the

Jews in this city have a reason to be

concerned. We'll have to see what

happens. I hope not.

>> The fact that this is someone who talks

about, you know, doesn't denounce a

slogan globalize the inif.

What What are your thoughts when when

you think of that? I do not believe that

um we are uh able to predict what's

going to happen. I don't I I can't sit

here and tell you. I can only u hope

that there will be a whatever happens in

the election and you know it hasn't

occurred yet.

>> Um so everybody should go out and vote.

Um but it is important you know to deal

with whatever the reality is next

Wednesday whatever it is and for people

to play as constructive a role as

possible uh in uh making sure that you

know uh we don't face the kind of uh you

know worries and concerns that have been expressed.

expressed.

>> If you had a vote in this city would you

vote for Zoran Mana?

You know what? I don't vote in this

city. Um I look I I am I am not I'm not

involved in it. I have not, you know,

been at all uh even asked to be involved

in it and I have not chosen to be

involved in it. Um I will be there the

day after and everybody else should be

too, no matter what happens.

>> What do you mean the day after?

>> What the freaking what? This is just absolutely

absolutely

>> the boy

the I mean I want to put a pin in this

aspect of the conversation as we go

forward here but uh because you're

talking about Quomo

>> but this is this type of like deployment

of fake anti-semitism in anti-semitism

innuendo okay which has been going on

>> uh you know really

>> increasing ly over the past two years in

particular because of what Israel's uh

the genocide Israel has been involved

in. But this type of stuff um it is

about to blow up in the faces of

everyone who actually genuinely cares

about anti-semitism and has some skin in

the game uh in this. Uh we'll talk about

that in a moment, but I want to put a

pin in that. But it's disgusting

um uh what they're doing right out in I

want to talk about like there's a kind

of um this in this election is really

about two competing different uh visions

of what a multicultural pluralist

America is. Um because you see the uh

Zoran's campaign and you know he's doing

all these like ads in like Hindi uh in

Erdo in um and in Yiddish you know like

and in all these ads he's saying the

same message. We're all New Yorkers

together. We all have an affordability

uh issue. So you're acknowledging you know it's a a pluralistic America with

know it's a a pluralistic America with many different uh people from many

many different uh people from many different cultures and we have a

different cultures and we have a commonality and a common purpose. Now, I

commonality and a common purpose. Now, I think KOMO is a different type of

think KOMO is a different type of multiculturalism. It's a

multiculturalism. It's a multiculturalism of fear. And when you

multiculturalism of fear. And when you when we're familiar with this from the

when we're familiar with this from the Republican side, there's a famous

Republican side, there's a famous Republican strategist, Ken Phillips,

Republican strategist, Ken Phillips, who's one of the originators of the

who's one of the originators of the Southern Strategy um and of the appeal

Southern Strategy um and of the appeal to George Wallace, white ethnics. And he

to George Wallace, white ethnics. And he said, "Politics is about knowing who

said, "Politics is about knowing who hates who." you know, like if you know

hates who." you know, like if you know like in this neighborhood, you know, the

like in this neighborhood, you know, the the Irish uh don't like the blacks, that

the Irish uh don't like the blacks, that gives you a leverage. Um, and Ko has

gives you a leverage. Um, and Ko has always been about that politics. He's

always been about that politics. He's always been about knowing who hates who.

always been about knowing who hates who. And I would remind people, and it's a

And I would remind people, and it's a little bit like, you know, um um

little bit like, you know, um um shocking language, but Andrew Como, you

shocking language, but Andrew Como, you know, his introduction to political life

know, his introduction to political life was 1977. his father was running for

was 1977. his father was running for mayor of New York and against um a

mayor of New York and against um a closeted gay man Ed Cotch and Como

closeted gay man Ed Cotch and Como Andrew Como came up with the slogan vote

Andrew Como came up with the slogan vote for Como not the homo and that there's a

for Como not the homo and that there's a continuity between that moment and this

continuity between that moment and this moment of you know um uh saying Zoran is

moment of you know um uh saying Zoran is an anti-semite playing to fears the way

an anti-semite playing to fears the way Hillary Clinton and Ko have both been

Hillary Clinton and Ko have both been doing. These people are practitioners of

doing. These people are practitioners of the multiculturalism of fear of using um

the multiculturalism of fear of using um uh uh anxiety about uh racial oppression

uh uh anxiety about uh racial oppression to sort of hurt people and to turn

to sort of hurt people and to turn people against each other. Um and there

people against each other. Um and there cannot be a a bigger difference between

cannot be a a bigger difference between that and what Zoron is offering. It's

that and what Zoron is offering. It's really a choice. Do you want a

really a choice. Do you want a multiculturalism of hope or do you want

multiculturalism of hope or do you want a multiculturalism of fear? And and I

a multiculturalism of fear? And and I mean the idea that let's say a Jewish

mean the idea that let's say a Jewish Senate candidate in Michigan that there

Senate candidate in Michigan that there would be a podcast that would ask a

would be a podcast that would ask a politician, "Do you think that um

politician, "Do you think that um Palestinians or Muslims living in

Palestinians or Muslims living in Michigan should be afraid

Michigan should be afraid um because uh the this uh politician

um because uh the this uh politician running for statewide office is Jewish."

running for statewide office is Jewish." uh and supports uh Israel, do you think

uh and supports uh Israel, do you think they should be afraid and and and for

they should be afraid and and and for like a Hillary Clinton or any type of,

like a Hillary Clinton or any type of, you know, supposed uh past or, you know,

you know, supposed uh past or, you know, vying for some type of relevance within

vying for some type of relevance within the Democratic party? Now, for anybody

the Democratic party? Now, for anybody in any position of responsibility to

in any position of responsibility to even imply that, well, we we got to wait

even imply that, well, we we got to wait and see. I don't know. I mean, anything

and see. I don't know. I mean, anything could happen here. I mean, the use of

could happen here. I mean, the use of the phrase the day after uh is insane.

the phrase the day after uh is insane. >> It's like she's acting like she's back

>> It's like she's acting like she's back in the streets with her hard hat on

in the streets with her hard hat on after 911. Like, that is the what she's

after 911. Like, that is the what she's invoking. It is some of the most when

invoking. It is some of the most when you go back to that Cuomo ad talking

you go back to that Cuomo ad talking about the racism in this race. Um the

about the racism in this race. Um the Democratic party really needs to contend

Democratic party really needs to contend with the deeply racist Zionist element

with the deeply racist Zionist element in the party. Um, it is a massive

in the party. Um, it is a massive massive threat to like we're we're we're

massive threat to like we're we're we're >> the we're hearing all this stuff like we

>> the we're hearing all this stuff like we should throw away wokeness or

should throw away wokeness or multiculturalism in a certain way

multiculturalism in a certain way because how are we going to be able to

because how are we going to be able to win back the rest of the country with

win back the rest of the country with this? It's like actually

this? It's like actually multiculturalism and being tolerant of

multiculturalism and being tolerant of other people is pretty easy to sell if

other people is pretty easy to sell if you're not the biggest hypocrite on the

you're not the biggest hypocrite on the planets and you're not engaging in some

planets and you're not engaging in some of the most disgusting Islamophobia and

of the most disgusting Islamophobia and bigoted attitudes towards the rock star

bigoted attitudes towards the rock star that has come out of this party in this

that has come out of this party in this year.

year. >> Yeah. No, no, no. I I would say so, but

>> Yeah. No, no, no. I I would say so, but I would add I mean I think that like

I would add I mean I think that like obviously the Zionist component is a big

obviously the Zionist component is a big part of this. It gives people a license

part of this. It gives people a license to do this stuff, but it's a broader

to do this stuff, but it's a broader political vision uh that I think the

political vision uh that I think the Clintons and Como have had from the

Clintons and Como have had from the start. And one season, they have always

start. And one season, they have always been willing to use identity politics

been willing to use identity politics against the left and you know like

against the left and you know like Hillary Clinton famously like you know

Hillary Clinton famously like you know like if you uh you know like breaking up

like if you uh you know like breaking up the banks will not end racism, right?

the banks will not end racism, right? Right. Like I think it's all it's it's

Right. Like I think it's all it's it's part of the same they have always had a

part of the same they have always had a very cynical uh willingness to deploy

very cynical uh willingness to deploy legit you know legitimate fears that you

legit you know legitimate fears that you know people have about anti-semitism or

know people have about anti-semitism or of racism but but to use it to shore up

of racism but but to use it to shore up the status quo and um I think that

the status quo and um I think that what's striking is just how desperate

what's striking is just how desperate they are and uh uh the extent that

they are and uh uh the extent that they're willing to go to uh now like I

they're willing to go to uh now like I mean like I I I genuinely think uh this

something like you know like it is at the same level as Trump in 2016 in in

the same level as Trump in 2016 in in his campaigns like I really don't see

his campaigns like I really don't see how you could say that what Hillary

how you could say that what Hillary Clinton is doing is any better than you

Clinton is doing is any better than you know

know >> she ran a racist campaign against Obama

she ran Yeah. >> Yeah. She Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. They've

>> Yeah. She Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. They've always been what they've always had this

always been what they've always had this sort of cynical willingness uh to do

sort of cynical willingness uh to do this and I think the fact that they are

this and I think the fact that they are doing it in such a lurid terms is a sign

doing it in such a lurid terms is a sign of their fear. They are genuinely afraid

of their fear. They are genuinely afraid that they're going to like lose control

that they're going to like lose control of not not just their party but their

of not not just their party but their whole status. And I have to say if I

Charlie Kirk, you know, Candace Owen has released a lot of information about how

released a lot of information about how he was, uh, supposedly ready to break

at the Jewish donors and he wasn't going to excommunicate Tucker Carlson and he

to excommunicate Tucker Carlson and he wasn't going to excommunicate Candace

wasn't going to excommunicate Candace Owens and he was going to invite them to

CPAC and etc, etc. And this has been sort of like generating more and more

sort of like generating more and more heat particularly in the absence of any

heat particularly in the absence of any information about the assassination that

information about the assassination that seems to have been just the spigot is

seems to have been just the spigot is like completely run dry. And um uh

like completely run dry. And um uh Tucker Carlson recently had Nick Fuentes

Tucker Carlson recently had Nick Fuentes on. Fuentes has been on this sort of

on. Fuentes has been on this sort of like uh tour for the past couple of

weeks, three or four or five weeks. He was terrified that it was a groper that

was terrified that it was a groper that had assassinated Charlie Kirk. That was

like history but it is um I think one thing people aren't aware of is the fact

thing people aren't aware of is the fact that like sort of like hostility towards

there's a long history of anti-ionism on the right um which is like you know um

the right um which is like you know um uh it has been intertwined with um

uh it has been intertwined with um anti-semitism

anti-semitism uh although also comes from other

uh although also comes from other sources um it's the fact that a lot of

sources um it's the fact that a lot of uh Palestinians are Christians and had

uh Palestinians are Christians and had like long-standing ties with American

like long-standing ties with American Christian communities so in the 1950s

Christian communities so in the 1950s you know like national review was very

you know like national review was very critical of Israel and uh in 1956

critical of Israel and uh in 1956 national review and editorial said like

national review and editorial said like Israel is the only racist state in the

Israel is the only racist state in the modern

modern uh which is actually was factually

uh which is actually was factually untrue. I mean like South Africa, right?

untrue. I mean like South Africa, right? America,

>> But but still still like it is absolutely um but but that tradition of

absolutely um but but that tradition of um uh right-wing anti-ionism fell away

um uh right-wing anti-ionism fell away um after 1967 as a result of sort of

um after 1967 as a result of sort of political alliances with the sort of

political alliances with the sort of neoconservatives, you know, former cold

neoconservatives, you know, former cold war liberals who had moved to the right

war liberals who had moved to the right um and also the importance of Israel and

um and also the importance of Israel and you know the American um uh hedgeimonyy.

you know the American um uh hedgeimonyy. Uh but there's always been that

Uh but there's always been that tradition and it's you know gone through

tradition and it's you know gone through people like you know Pat Buchanan and

people like you know Pat Buchanan and Joseph sober. Yes. And in the past

Joseph sober. Yes. And in the past you've had like there's a kind of myth

you've had like there's a kind of myth that William F.Buckley kind of you know

that William F.Buckley kind of you know kept these people out of the gates. Well

kept these people out of the gates. Well you know like that's actually like you

you know like that's actually like you know like I' you know like not to go

know like I' you know like not to go back to Buckley but I'd encourage people

back to Buckley but I'd encourage people to read Sam Tannenous's biography of

to read Sam Tannenous's biography of Buckley because it totally refutes that.

Buckley because it totally refutes that. Buckley often worked with these uh

Buckley often worked with these uh Christian uh you know like right-wing

Christian uh you know like right-wing anti-semites was closely tied with them.

anti-semites was closely tied with them. Joseph Sourn had been an editor there

Joseph Sourn had been an editor there when it when the heat got too hot like

when it when the heat got too hot like Buckley would like separate them out

Buckley would like separate them out like so he had like actually did fire so

like so he had like actually did fire so but then he continued to pay so or give

but then he continued to pay so or give so money until Sober the end of sober's

so money until Sober the end of sober's life um and Buckley had been very close

life um and Buckley had been very close with you know people like Rall Oliver

with you know people like Rall Oliver who was a genuine neo-Nazi um and so

who was a genuine neo-Nazi um and so Buckley always had this kind of

Buckley always had this kind of complicated dance of you know like

complicated dance of you know like supporting as much of the anti-semitic

supporting as much of the anti-semitic right as you could but then like you

right as you could but then like you know like distancing when you had to

know like distancing when you had to when it was politically inopportune and

when it was politically inopportune and I think what has changed is the dynamic

I think what has changed is the dynamic that that sort of facade is no longer

that that sort of facade is no longer necessary that you you can actually like

necessary that you you can actually like we're now in a situation where the

we're now in a situation where the subtext has become taxed where like the

subtext has become taxed where like the the political right um no longer feels

the political right um no longer feels like you need a Buckley figure to

like you need a Buckley figure to present a respectable face uh uh and so

present a respectable face uh uh and so and that has led to the you know really

and that has led to the you know really the triumph of people like Tucker

the triumph of people like Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes who I I do

Carlson and Nick Fuentes who I I do actually think um have like a genuine

actually think um have like a genuine mass political following and like really

mass political following and like really do represent um the point of view and

do represent um the point of view and you know like

you know like I have to say like it's coming for the

I have to say like it's coming for the left I think there's a kind of

left I think there's a kind of complicated um issue like we have to

complicated um issue like we have to like on the one hand like I mean like

like on the one hand like I mean like you know like someone like Nick Fuentes

you know like someone like Nick Fuentes Holocaust denier you know tell Jews like

Holocaust denier you know tell Jews like you know move to Israel this guy's an

you know move to Israel this guy's an anti-semitic there's no question like

anti-semitic there's no question like there's no like tolerance or room for

there's no like tolerance or room for that. But having you know uh said that

that. But having you know uh said that one reason why he and Tucker Carlson can

one reason why he and Tucker Carlson can get an audience is that people on the

get an audience is that people on the right including evangelical Christians

right including evangelical Christians are like looking at what's happening in

are like looking at what's happening in Israel and saying like why are we

Israel and saying like why are we supporting this? How is this in

supporting this? How is this in America's national interest? And so

America's national interest? And so these sort of bipartisan consensus in

these sort of bipartisan consensus in support of this genocide has created an

support of this genocide has created an opening for you know like genuinely

opening for you know like genuinely fascistic uh you know Nazi movement like

fascistic uh you know Nazi movement like which is like a and that the political

which is like a and that the political center has like not only uh through its

center has like not only uh through its like unquestioning Zionism like created

like unquestioning Zionism like created an opening where like that politics has

an opening where like that politics has a space but they're also further

a space but they're also further legitimizing it by like using this sort

legitimizing it by like using this sort of smear of anti-semitism against

of smear of anti-semitism against someone like Mamandi who's not an

someone like Mamandi who's not an anti-semite and using it more broadly

anti-semite and using it more broadly against the left and that also

against the left and that also discredits the idea. This is as I said

discredits the idea. This is as I said before this is the classic story of the

before this is the classic story of the boy who cried wolf there are wolves out

boy who cried wolf there are wolves out there but they have often like cried

there but they have often like cried wolf in many cases where there are no

wolf in many cases where there are no wolves and that is like sort of taken

wolves and that is like sort of taken away like the ability of anyone to trust

away like the ability of anyone to trust them when they cry wolf.

them when they cry wolf. All right. I I I mean I this is um I

All right. I I I mean I this is um I think we are about to get and and this

think we are about to get and and this is this is a really important thing

is this is a really important thing because there's a lot of times where

because there's a lot of times where people want to create some type of like

people want to create some type of like transpartisan relationship with people

transpartisan relationship with people who uh are supporting uh the similar

who uh are supporting uh the similar issues. Uh I I um have a problem with

issues. Uh I I um have a problem with Israel. They have a problem with Israel.

Israel. They have a problem with Israel. We can work together. The problem is is

We can work together. The problem is is that they're not showing up to the party

that they're not showing up to the party just with their uh issue with Israel.

just with their uh issue with Israel. They're also showing up with this um uh

They're also showing up with this um uh anti-semitism and well, you know,

anti-semitism and well, you know, racism. I mean, it's the anti- the

racism. I mean, it's the anti- the relationship between the anti-semitism

very careful. It's one thing to sort of like allow the support for Israel to be

like allow the support for Israel to be undercut on the right. Um I'm very happy

undercut on the right. Um I'm very happy for that to happen because I want it to

for that to happen because I want it to happen across the uh the the the the

happen across the uh the the the the country. I mean, but you you cannot

It makes it harder to make a multicultural like uh democratic case

multicultural like uh democratic case for greater Israel, which is the only

which is one democratic state. There are 700,000 settlers in the West Bank. If

700,000 settlers in the West Bank. If you want to get them all out, then you

you want to get them all out, then you want to talk about the st two-state

want to talk about the st two-state solution. Okay, whatever. But the

solution. Okay, whatever. But the Democrats punting on making that case

Democrats punting on making that case has enabled this. So that the basically

has enabled this. So that the basically the foreign government argument that

the foreign government argument that you're hearing from the right, they're

you're hearing from the right, they're basically talking about Jews as

basically talking about Jews as infiltrators. Like I I this is where I

infiltrators. Like I I this is where I really want people to stop using some of

really want people to stop using some of this framing here because it that is

this framing here because it that is where it's leading here. Israel is in

where it's leading here. Israel is in many ways an arm of the United States.

many ways an arm of the United States. And if that if we're talking about it in

And if that if we're talking about it in that context as like our colonial

that context as like our colonial outpost or as our military aircraft in

outpost or as our military aircraft in the Middle East, it's a lot easier for

the Middle East, it's a lot easier for people to understand this as a problem

people to understand this as a problem of imperialism and militarism. But the

of imperialism and militarism. But the people that are normalizing Marjgery

people that are normalizing Marjgery Taylor Green are using this framing and

Taylor Green are using this framing and it's not one of like that is about

broader humanity. It is about like it's pitting different groups against one

pitting different groups against one another and that is what is so scary. So

programs when they have subsidized rent or lower income housing. All these

or lower income housing. All these things, they were supposed to be

government comes in and says something's temporary, it's only temporary till it's

temporary, it's only temporary till it's permanent. And that's why most people
