Which now means absolutely nothing. They ruined that word. **It used to mean something, now it means heroic fighter for peace**, because if you fight for peace, they're going to call you an antisemite, guaranteed, guaranteed. And they're going to say it two billion times over. This is a one-tricky pony, and they're giant liars, and all they love to do is smear everyone else. They're like 'Oh, don't... Ignore our genocide --- the real problem is people criticizing us. They're so evil and hateful!' You know what? Everybody's sick of that. We're vomiting that word. We can't stand it anymore. Now **when anybody uses the word 'antisemite' they're almost definitely a racist**, 'cause they're the ones yeah, Israeli children are the most precious children in the world, I think Israeli children are as precious as every child on the planet Earth, I hope none of ’em every get hurt. Alright? Now we say the same thing for, about, Palestinian children, and they're like 'No! You're an antisemite if you don't agree that we should have murdered 20,000 of their kids! We should murder another 20,000! And if you don't say it, you hate Jews!' No, brother, no. You hate Palestinians. You're a deeply racist, nearly psychotic person at this point." "So I'm done with any Israeli supporter still defending the starvation of children. And **what they've done to Jewish culture, you know, is sickening**. Holocaust survivor, spoke out eloquently against it today; we're going to show that later in the show with you guys. My favourite author in the world, Yuval Harari, is an Israeli. And he said, 'they're destroying our culture.' The culture used to be for openness and caring about the underdog and the victims, and that's absolutely true. Jewish people in this country [America] have been wonderful to me throughout my life. They were the leaders of the civil rights movements in a lot of ways, because why, they wanted to step up for other people who were abused, et cetera. "Now **Israel has turned that culture into an oppressor culture**, a racist culture, **a culture who's just indifferent to other people's pain, other people's suffering, and all they do is lie**. Every word out of an Israeli government official is a lie. So no, no, the Israeli government leaders are deeply evil. And now, if you're still supporting them when the entire rest of the world says, yes, it's definitely a famine, yes, you're definitely starving their children to death, yes, you've definitely murdered 62,000 of them, it's an 83 percent civilian kill ratio, one of the worst in modern history, worse than Bosnia, worse than Sudan, worse than Aleppo and the butcher of Damascus. Assad butchered those people in Aleppo, that was a 59 percent civilian kill ratio. Hamas was a 67 percent civilian kill ratio on October 7. Israel is at an 83 percent civilian kill ratio. They're butchering civilians. And from the Jewish people, that's heartbreaking, for what they've gone through. Now Israel is inflicting on others. And I can't stand it anymore." "And if you're a person of decency and any kind of moral conscience, you have to do everything in your power to get them to stop. It's like we're living in the middle of the holocaust now, and we're, the biggest debate we're having is, 'have we offended the Germans too much?' Who cares if we offend the Germans? We should be going to war against the Germans in the middle of the Holocaust, and we did. We're worried about the Israeli feelings? Are you insane? Children are literally going to starve to death today because of the god damn Israelis. And that is a fact. And if you say, oh, no, I found the real problem here: Cenk said 'god damn Israelis, that's an antisemite, my feelings are hurt' --- I don't care about your feelings! And your feelings are racist! Say 'oh, yeah, Palestinians, murder their kids! Who cares? They're not human!' You're a racist. You're a sick person. Don't you ever say antisemite, don't you ever talk about bigotry. Don't you ever talk about anything if you're not fighting to end this genocide right now. You're a monster. You're a deeply evil, immoral person, and I don't care what you think. Oh, no, I get to say that. 'Oh, no, I get to say that --- I'm the only one who's pure. Anyone who criticizes me, fire them! Arrest them!' They're doing it today, guys! The stupid Trump administration: 'We're going to review 55 million visas, in case anyone is criticizing Israel --- they'll be removed from the country.'" [#](https://youtu.be/GQq6nvrfvQ8?t=272): "And finally, that's the last point of it: **Israel controls America**. Saying anything otherwise is absurd. It's counter-factual. How could, in the middle of a famine, a forced famine, all of these dead children, 98 percent of our government is still kissing Israel's ass? Is pro-genocide? I accuse them! I accuse them of being deeply immoral scumbags! Oh, where's the money? Where's the money? Our politicians sicken me. And our media --- oh, no no no, oh no no no no no, Congressional hearings on antisemitism! 'Protect the poor Israelis! The real problem is how you guys are offending the Israelis! No, the politicians, they're not crooks. Ignore the AIPAC money! If you say AIPAC money, that's it, you're hateful. You know? Shut up! Lie on behalf of Israel. You have to lie on behalf of Israel.' That's what mainstream media says. If you work at mainstream media and you still haven't called it a 'genocide,' you're a coward. You're a snivelling, immoral, deeply evil coward. I'm sick of the people in power in this country using it to abuse people. They never help us. They never help us. We've given Israel 310 billion dollars. And then Israel comes and says 'you owe us'. 'You owe us'? Are you kidding me? We don't owe you a god damn thing. We should cut off Israel. They're not an ally. Let's be clear about it. No one has gotten us in more trouble, no one has caused more harm, no one has caused more wars in my lifetime than Israel. We... Israel is not our ally, at this point they are our enemy. They take money from us, they incriminate us to the whole world, they implicate us in their immoral war crimes. No one has hurt this country more than Israel has. Israel is our top enemy. Enemy.

Let's get into that fight. Let's have that national debate. I say that **people who are taking talking points from Tel Aviv** and then disseminating it here in America, destroying their own party for another country, is an asset.

She has taken anti-abortion positions, she has spread misinformation about vaccine science, she was an explicit supporter of the destructive trucker convoy occupation of Ottawa, has expressed support for anti-gay and anti-trans conversion therapy, and critiqued the 'transgender lifestyle.' It is reasonable to say that Gladu is more consistently and vocally right-wing than Pierre Poilievre himself, and she's now been legitimized by the Carney Liberals. "Now, Carney has tried to assuage people that Gladu will not drag these hard-right positions into the operation of his government. But many Canadians are skeptical of that proclamation, namely because in the 2025 election when Poilievre made it clear he wasn't going to push social conservative policies, Liberals said you shouldn't believe him.

I also have deep respect for the right of the state of Israel to exist and defend itself, and I thought the attack by Hamas was a terrorist attack, and we have to be clear about that as well. And when it gets into the nuances, and I know there was a bill in Congress on this, which I was not privy to, the details of the bill, where there was an actual vote on your question.

I'm just reflecting, quite openly and honestly, hasn't been part of the day to day." Lathan: "Yeah. The only reason why I ask is because, uh, with that, what I'm talking about is lobbying in and of itself, let me be honest with you. The first thing that I'm ---" **Newsom**: "Were you not honest this whole damn time? Unbelievable. What the hell is that?" Lathan: "Just to let you know, they fry my ass on here, because I was like, you know who I was like? I like the way Gavin Newsom talks to these people and stuff like that. I'm trying to figure out right now who I can vote for." **Newsom**: Why are you so focused on years and years? Focus on prop 50. It's in front of you. Focus on your city council race. Focus on the school board. Focus on getting rid of me as governor, focus on that, man. You are so many years ahead, the world is radically changing. Jesus Christ. Take a deep breath. Lathan: "This is the reason why. All of the stuff that we've talked about, focused on, locally, you've been so generous with your time, you've answered all the questions, all of that. But also, I look at Chicago and what's happening there. I look at Louisiana. I look at New York. I look at Portland. I look at all of that. And governor, I want it over. I want it stopped. I want it over. I want this period of fear, this period of panic, this period of dehumanization, I want it over. And I'm like, how are we gonna get it done?" **Newsom**: "Well it ain't gonna get done in 2029. You gotta get done now." # Hasan Piker Age {age-from:1991-07-25}, political livestreamer [@HasanAbi](https://twitch.tv/hasanabi) ("abi" is Turkish for bro, dude, older brother, or something like that), [@HasanTheHun](https://x.com/hasanthehun).

But saying it that way is clearly wrong because it leaves people with the impression that you---" **Piker**: "Yes. I should've used more precise and better use of the language there. I --- it's messed up that I would even give the opportunity to the right to try to morally grandstand on an issue like this when they have, they are 100 percent responsible for all of the bloodshed that has been caused. Even some other outlets in the mainstream media are also culpable in this circumstance. Look, 3,000 people died. And that's terrible. That is a horrific event." [#](https://youtu.be/lKQGvVsRpaE?t=904): **Piker**: "Obviously 9/11 was a horrific tragedy. 3,000 Americans died. Okay? 7,000 troops have died since then, in endless wars. And if you're spending all of your energy getting upset at me because I think that is abhorrent and awful, maybe you should spend your energy elsewhere and realize that those who justify that endless bloodshed don't actually have the best interest of those young men and women at heart." 2021-11-30 | [#](https://youtu.be/7uactuBbAtw?t=55): "If you wanna know who I'm in support for a fuckin' Senate seat in Pennsylvania, this is the man.

"Donbas is different from Crimea, and Crimea is an annexation that is, in my opinion, justifiable. It is a part of Russia. You might not believe it, the people of Crimea agree with it, so I don't give a fuck. I don't care about what your take is. I don't even care if you're in Kyiv and you're saying Crimea should be a part of Ukraine. I care about what the fuckin' Crimean people's opinion is on the matter. And they think that they want to be a part of Russia. Historically, they want to be a part of Russia. They like that they're part of Russia now. And they've been a part of Russia, and they're not having a hard time there. Okay? I don't care that the Ukrainian government does not agree that Crimea is a part of Russia. It does not matter." chat: "What the fuck, your worst take so far?" "Cry me a river." chat: "War crimes are cool with Russia does it?" "Yeah dude, war crimes. Totally. Totally. Annexing Crimea, a fuckin' autonomous region historically, annexing that region that is like, primarily, demographically Russian, that wants to be a part of Russia, okay, that's actually completely unacceptable, because Ukrainian constitution said so, or Ukrainian borders need to be protected, like these are, these are, the uh, like that's the most important fuckin' thing." chat: "Show us why you trust the polls and referendum?" "The reason I trust the polls more than I trust the referendum is because, one, demographically and historically, we are talking about a country that has always been used as Russia's entry into the Black Sea, okay? That's one. Two, Western polls have no interest, the UN has no interest, in making seem like the people of Crimea actually want to be a part of Russia. Look at every outlet, look at every fuckin' information that you're hearing about Russia. None of this makes Russia a good country, okay? Or rather, the Russian government a good, honest government or a good, honest country, for the record, okay?" [{seconds:4565}](https://youtu.be/YhF-10IQkeI?t=4565): chat: "What was wrong with NATO expansion if majority of population voted in favour? Would that mean NATO expansion is justified?" "In that circumstance, NATO is, 1000 percent, an aggressor, outside fuckin' force, okay? Russia is not. Russia annexing its own fuckin' territory that it's had, that, its own territory full of its own fuckin' people, is not the same as NATO being like, 'We're going to turn your country into a fuckin' base and put literal fuckin' military bases and rockets into your country.'" "Also, it's not even gonna fuckin' happen. Here's the other part of this conversation. Let's be real. There are a fuckload of NATO countries that do not want Ukraine to be a part of NATO. Okay? They do not want Ukraine to be a part of NATO. Do you want to know why? Because Ukraine is at least, at the very least, Ukraine is supposed to be a fucking border, buffer zone between NATO, between all the fuckin' NATO military bases and Moscow. Because Russia could do this. Russia does these war games specifically to show, 'If you're gonna fuckin' put Ukraine in NATO, we're just gonna invade Ukraine, and then, that's gonna be a fuckin' world war.' "If America actually never violated its obligations and refused to fuckin', and, and, stopped the expansion of NATO, okay, stopped the expansion of NATO, then Russia wouldn't do these fuckin' war games regularly because they already have a fuckload of economic interest in having a peaceful relationship and a trade partnership with Germany and numerous other European countries. Okay?" 2022-02-21 | *From his livestream:* [25:12](https://youtu.be/FL14YdXeBzM?t=1512): Putin: "In 1990, when we talked about the reunification of Germany, the United States promised the USSR that there would not be any enlargement of NATO to the east." "He's right. He's right. He's right about that. They lied. We lied, motherfucker. We lied a lot." chat: "Just show the Kremlin cheque already." "Dude, fuck Vladimir Putin, okay? You're a fucking idiot. Oh my god, ban him. Ban everybody who says I'm a Russian operative or something. I don't like Vladimir Putin. Here, I'm just gonna put a fuckin' text message above my screen that says 'Russia bad.' Okay? 'Russia is bad.' Okay? I'm just gonna put that there, because, like, some of you dickhead, braindead... okay, here you go. Actually, no, not 'Russia is bad,' 'Vladimir Putin is bad.' Okay? Are you happy? I hope this will be, like, helpful for you. I hope this will be like, understandable for you so it gets through your thick fucking skull, because some of you fucking idiots are, like, I mean, you just behave like children. You just don't understand. It's like good guys and bad guys, good guys and bad guys, good guys and bad guys, who's the villain of the story? Vladimir Putin's the villain of the story. He's just like Hitler. Every one, every one of America's enemies is just Hitler. Okay? Like, Vladimir Putin is bad, motherfucker. That doesn't change the reality that we are also bad. And what we are doing is actually making a bad situation worse. Okay? Shut the fuck up." Putin: "I asked him how the Americans would react to the idea of Russia joining NATO." "Yeah, he even fucking asked for Russia to join NATO and they said no." [28:42](https://youtu.be/FL14YdXeBzM?t=1722): chat: "Aren't you ignoring the Russian's actions in this situation? We are pushing it but we aren't the ones on the verge of invading another country." "Dude, Russia is doing military exercise in the exact same way that America does military exercises all around the world. It's a show of force and it's fuckin' gross. But the reason why Russia is doing military exercise is because NATO's been expansionist, the Ukrainian government has quite literally fuckin' said 'We're gonna overtake Crimea again.' Crimea is literally just Russian territory. Don't give a fuck if you don't consider it that way, but that's the reality. The people in Crimea feel that way, the Crimean navy feels that way, the Crimean military bases that were Russian military bases until, historically, and still to this day, feel that way. "You can't just be Ukraine and be like, 'It doesn't matter. My constitution decided and declared that, like, Crimea is actually not Russian territory, regardless of how many fuckin' people live in, how many Russians live there, and regardless of the fact those people want to be back with Russia. We don't care. We're gonna fuckin' invade it.' If you say something like that, he's gonna flex his dick. He's not a good guy. He's a bad guy. Okay? "Throw the question marks all you want. I don't give a fuck about the Ukrainian constitution. I don't give a fuck about the Ukrainian, like, border sovereignty that some of you dumbasses are talkin' about like you're a three-percenter but for Ukraine. Okay? It's so stupid. Crimea is not the same as Kyiv, however. Crimea is not the same as the rest of Ukraine, however. Eastern Ukrainian territories have a lot of fuckin' Russian people living in them because Ukraine, and, just like Crimea and much of the rest of the fuckin' country, was a part of Russia, was a part of the USSR until not that long ago. People's parents were alive back then. So obviously there were a lot of fuckin' Russian people living there." [31:05](https://youtu.be/FL14YdXeBzM?t=1865): "It doesn't matter if Russia and Ukraine duke it out. It doesn't matter if Russia and Ukraine fuck each other in the asshole non-stop in this oroboros ass-fuck, because America gets to sell guns, and America also gets to have a weakened foreign adversary on the other side of the world. Okay? It's great. It's great. It's great for America. That's why they're fucking beefing it up, over and over again, saying 'Russia is going to invade tomorrow. Russia has kill lists.' "And some of you are too young, and you don't know this. You don't know how many lies that the State Department has made the media tell. But the very same motherfuckers that are like, 'Oh my god, Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, We have to immediately invade Iraq right now,' are the exact same people who are like, 'Dude, I have sources that are saying that Vladimir Putin wants to straight up have sexual intercourse with every family member of the Ukrainian administration. Every single one of them. We have high level sources. It's gonna happen. It's gonna happen after he invades.' Okay? And it like, hasn't happened yet. And it's probably not going to happen because of the underlying material circumstances that would make war in Ukraine impossible to deal with. This would be attrition, this would fuckin' destroy the Russian economy, they would get fuckin', they would get ass-fucked by sanctions, which are already coming regardless, okay? "And you can be a fucking baboon, and say 'This is imperialism, pro-imperialist takes again,' because you are a baboon. You are. I'm sorry. You are a stupid, anarchist idiot who only learns politics by repeating talking points from either myself or other YouTubers that you have watched, okay? I'm sorry. You do not have the mental fortitude or the capacity to comprehend complex foreign policy from anything beyond an American exceptionalist standpoint where we are the civilizing force on these barbarians, okay? You are the guy who gets constructed and gets, just, completely blasted into fucking smithereens in like the 17th century. That's it. You think you're progressive. You're not fuckin' progressive. You literally are meddling with other country's foreign policies. You're meddling with other countries, and then you're thinking that, 'Oh, we're doing this in a progressive way.' You're doing progressive imperialism while pointing to fucking Russia and saying they're doing imperialism. Okay? "Russia's annexation of Crimea is not the same as imperialism. It's not the same as colonialism. You're a fucking psycho. There has never been a circumstance in which an imperial power has decided to take over land where the fucking people living in that land are their own people, okay? And the country's entire military is like, 'Oh yeah, this is great, finally we can work with our own fucking country, and we speak the language, and it's our country, and we want to actually join.' And then they also correspond to numerous surveys, time and time again, year over year over year, leading up to fucking the Crimean annexation, and even after the Crimean annexation, saying 'No, it's good. We want to be a part of Russia.' It's fucking insane. You can say that's, like, Russian propaganda or whatever, but you feeling bad about the Crimean annexation does not change the reality of the Crimean annexation being a completely justifiable act by the Russian government. Okay? So that's it. That's fine. chat: "And Hitler invaded countries based on Germanic ties at first." "Yeah dude, talk to me when he's fucking throwing Ukrainians in a, in a, in a, fuckin', what are you talkin' about? Talk to me when he's throwing Ukrainians in a concentration camp, okay? Hitler wasn't fuckin' bad because he decided to invade Austria. He was bad because he was fucking killing Jews. Okay? That was the problem. He wasn't like, he wasn't like 'Oh yeah, we're going to annex territory with, like, Germanic people in it.' That wasn't the main problem with Hitler, I think. That was like, maybe 8th down the line." [1:04:02](https://youtu.be/FL14YdXeBzM?t=3842): "Also, people keep saying it was Ukraine's own choice to join NATO. Okay, well it was Crimea's own choice to join Russia then. Like, you can't fuckin be like, 'This region of just predominantly overwhelming Russian people with a military that is like literally Russian, with a military that joined the Russian military immediatly after the annexation, that time and time again is consistently polled on being a part of Russia, that's doing better now as part of Russia than it was,' and then turn around and be like 'Well it was Ukraine's choice to join NATO.' "You can say 'yikes' all you fucking want. You can say 'yikes' all you want. 'Crimea was annexed, Crimea was annexed.' Yeah, it was so crazy that, like, no one fucking died. Shut the fuck up. And like, everyone thinks it's, they wanted to be a part of Russia, they were a part of Russia, until --- like, most of your parents were alive when they were a part of Russia until --- like, most of your parents were alive when they were a part of Russia. They wanted to be a part of Russia. It's always been a separate, autonomous region regardless. Just because you don't understand the fucking history and you keep saying 'yikes, yikes, yikes, my favourite YouTuber told me something different," doesn't change the reality of what's going on in Crimea. You live in fucking Ohio. You are not Crimean. You are not Ukrainian. You are not Russian. The motherfuckers that live there are like, 'No, we want this,' and you're like, 'I do not consent, because I defend the Ukrainian sovereignty, brother, the Ukrainian borders.' Okay? 'Blood and soil for Ukraine, brother, I'm joining the Azoth battalion. I'm a three percenter.' Shut the fuck up.

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, this fucking ass fuck, this literal piece of dog shit in the bottom of my fucking shoe that I stepped on. I knew this fucking NATO cock-sucker would say, 'Seems like NATO successfully deterred Russian aggression. Great news.' I knew it. I knew this fucking absolute troglodyte, this fucking baboon, I was waiting, I was just, I couldn't even finish it, I couldn't even finish my take about how --- notice how they fucking claim that Russia is gonna keep, like, 'Russia is gonna destroy Ukraine? Russia is gonna destroy Ukraine? Russia is gonna destroy Ukraine? That's why they need NATO. That's why they need NATO.' Now that fucking NATO baboon goes around and goes 'Oh, we did it, successfully. We stopped Vladimir Putin from invading Ukraine.'

THIS Is Why We LOSE!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xxE-7z6has): [3:14](https://youtu.be/0xxE-7z6has?t=194): "**Gavin Newsom**, instead of going on Hasan's show, he has had Charlie Kirk on, and he has had Ben Shapiro on, Gavin Newsom has. In each case he's ceded progressive causes. **He ceded trans rights**. And he ceded I.C.E. to Ben Shapiro very easily. He's fumbled on Israel big time, and he's a huge corporate donor, receives a lot of PAC money. And **he has said that he will not tax billionaires**. All of these things are very unpopular with Democrats are large, specifically with this group of people that feel homeless in the America two-party system. So from Hasan's perspective here, he's like, 'I'm going to vote third party,' because **he doesn't see any difference** in the help for marginalized people. He sees one person that campaigns as slightly liberal, yet takes all of the same money from these corporate PACs. So online, the liberals have completely wet the bed and they're going after Hasan, two and a half years out from a general election, and are trying to pigeonhole him in, that, he's a terrible American, and he, you know, all of this could be his fault, which is insane." [5:04](https://youtu.be/0xxE-7z6has?t=304): "During Kamala Harris's campaign, when she started trotting around with Liz Cheney, it really struck me. Like, why is she trying to get these people to vote for her, that will never, ever vote for her? Why isn't she courting the progressive side of the party? And here's what's so critical. In the last campaign, it's not that Trump grew his vote, it's that less people that typically vote Democrat turned out. So **the Democratic Party, instead of courting the progressive side, they go and court the Ben Shapiros, the Liz Cheneys, the Charlie Kirks**, these elusive right-wingers that are never, ever, ever going to peel off and vote for a liberal."

Gavin Newsom has proven that **he doesn't care about the illegal nature of what I.C.E.** is doing when he platformed Ben Shapiro. So to put the burden of this on Hasan who's saying 'I'm not going to settle for a **fascist collaborator** [Newsom] who always is reaching to platform fascists and find common ground with them' is just intellectually dishonest because Hasan has a record of standing up for trans people, and when Gavin Newsom did that for Charlie Kirk that pain was felt through the trans community far and wide." # Jesse Kelly [@jessekellydc](https://x.com/JesseKellyDC), a right-wing radio host guy. !table 2024-10-22 | "For those who aren't old enough to remember, you cannot imagine how little race tension there was in this country before Obama got into power and started stoking those flames.

He's never been swimming at the beach in his life. Before I lowered him down near the water, his little arms started paddling in the air. It got me to thinking about third-world immigrants and rape. There is a primal instinct in all animals that teach them the things they do. Much like a dog can swim without ever being taught, a third-world migrant behaves in the most primal ways by instinct. Rape, murder, criminality - these are things that are deeply embedded in the DNA of a third-world migrant. Can these things be trained away? Perhaps, for the truly intelligent ones who make an effort. But for your average one, they'll resort to primal instincts every single time.

They **were getting their information from social media**, particularly Tik Tok." **Kulinski**: "So, she is begrudging the fact that, well, young people are seeing news on Israel and Palestine and Gaza. They're seeing that news on Tik Tok. They're seeing that news on YouTube. They're seeing that news on Twitter. They're seeing videos of children being killed. She's begrudging this and she's saying that. Don't do that. Don't do that. You want you're gonna see the actual raw video of the war crimes? No, no, no, no, no, no. Watch mainstream media and let them filter it for you and lie. This is the implication of what she's saying." **Hillary Clinton**: "That is where they were learning about what happened on October 7th. What happened in the, you know, days, weeks, and months to follow. That's a serious problem. It's a serious problem for democracy, whether it's Israel, the United States, and it's a serious problem for our young people. So, and **it was frankly shocking to me** how little the students we were encountering, not only in this class we teach, which is a very large class, international relations about crisis decision-making, but students more generally. And that's why I mentioned the social media piece of it because **when you would try to talk to them to engage** in some kind of, uh, reasonable discussion, **it was very difficult because they did not know history**. They had very **little context** and **what they were being told on social media was not just one-sided. It was pure propaganda**. And so when you think about how to tell Israel's story, and it's important, it's not just looking internally, it's looking externally, and particularly looking at young people because, you know, it's not just uh uh the usual suspects, it is a lot of young Jewish Americans who don't know the history and don't understand. I was talking to Condi Rice and, you know, she said in an interview that I did after the 20 point plan came out. She and I were on CBS and she said, you know, when **people were chanting from the river to the sea**, she would ask the students, **'What river? What sea?' They didn't know.** I had the same experience. A lot of the challenge ---" **Kulinski**: "I'm going to crash out. I'm going to crash out. I fucking hate these arguments. It's such a snotty elitist bullshit way of trying to say 'I know you saw 17 videos of children's heads being blown off and kids being under rubble crying after losing their mom and their dad. I know you've seen the videos of schools being bombed and hospitals being bombed. I know you saw the video of the Israeli uh prison guard raping a hostage and then you saw the right-to-rape protest that happened in Israel. I know you saw the video of Israel bombing world central kitchen workers. I know you saw them bombing UN buildings. I know you saw them on video saying 'we are now going to starve 2 million people and not allow in any food, fuel, or water'. I know you saw all that. But have you even read the history book on this?' Please. "There is nothing in the history that could make murdering children okay. Let me repeat that. There's nothing in the history that will make murdering children okay. You don't need to have a fucking PhD. You don't need to have a degree. You don't need to be an expert or a specialist in order to go, 'I think murdering children is bad and wrong and it shouldn't be done. I think killing civilians on purpose is bad and wrong and a war crime and it shouldn't be done.' It's this bullshit like, 'huh? Well, perhaps it's just really complicated and you don't understand.' That's the lie they tell you to get you to sit down and shut the fuck up. The lie they tell you is, 'sure, children are being killed, but it's actually very complicated. Okay? It's actually very difficult. Okay, you actually need to you need to read 17 books that are a thousand pages each by this professor written in fucking 1956. You need to do that before you can even say anything on the issue.' No, you're gaslighting disgusting liars. And this is your diversion tactic. There's no, there's no amount of gaslighting that is going to make people forget the innocent children they saw murdered. There's no amount of gaslighting that's going to fucking get you off the hook for this one. "They really think this is a banger argument of like, huh, you don't even know all the specific ancillary details. It's like, again, you don't need to know any of that to know murdering children on purpose is bad and wrong. It's just so it's actually I find this actually very nefarious because the like the liberal ver the liberal Zionist version of this argument which is what Hillary is presenting here. It's like, it's, it's a level above what the conservatives say and do. So that makes it more nefarious because like you could see this working on some people. You could see some people going, "Well, look, I guess I don't know. I guess I guess she's right. I don't know all the specifics. I don't know all the history. I'm not I don't have a fucking degree in this stuff. "So yeah, maybe I will not say anything because maybe I'm missing something. And it's like, no, there is no Tim Dillon had a great joke about this, but I'm I'm blanking on the specifics of it, but it was basically like, you know, when you see a child get murdered or shot in the face, the correct reaction is to go, huh, I need more context, like mocking that idea. And it's like, yes, it's as absurd as Tim Dillon was parodying there. I think he was saying it in the context of Sam Harris who, like, he'll do a meditation app in the morning and he'll, like, talk about wellness in the morning and then in the afternoon he's like and that's why we need to bomb all the kids in God. It's very, it's very bizarre, but yeah this liberal Zionist bullshit, I mean, but let's call it what it is. **This is Hillary Clinton going full MAGA**. You're going full MAGA. So you defend Trump's fake peace deal which was a nefarious plot to continue the genocide while diverting media attention away from it. You supported Trump on that and now here you are at a Trump donor event explaining how well Israel, of course, is right about everything, when it's run by a genocidal fascist Netanyahu, who's a fucking war criminal and up on genocide charges. God damn it Hillary, what the fuck is this?" **Hillary Clinton**: "What river? What sea? They didn't know. I had the same experience. A lot of the challenge is with younger people. **More than 50% of young people in America get their news from social media**." **Kulinski**: "**Good. Good. Any American who watches this show** [his own YouTube channel] **for their news will know way more than if they watch mainstream media**. Guaranteed. And they'll get more clear answers, too. None of this weasel-y wishy-washy bullshit of like, 'Oh, is this legal or is this not?' No, I'll tell you. Trump broke the law fucking hundreds of times since he got back in office. That's the truth. I'm giving you the truth. I'm giving you the information that unfortunately they won't give you many times. There are so many shows that I would recommend on YouTube that do a much better job. **If you watch Breaking Points**, you'll be better educated than if you watch mainstream media. If you watch David Dole, if you watch the Humanist Report, if you watch this channel, if you watch the Majority Report, there's so many shows where if you watch those, you are way more educated. "But she's got this, fuck, these fucking blinders on of like, 'No, you got to watch CNN' or, or, you know, MSNBC is not that bad, by the way, but she you got to go to mainstream media, go to the nightly news and you know that's where you get the serious stuff from and it's like no or or you're just ancient or you're just ancient by the way and I should be clear I have plenty of criticisms of new media which has there's also a lot of charlatans and conmen and grifters and I've been very clear on that I mean look at the whole Rogan sphere right so I do have criticism there uh and I have criticisms of mainstream media but this mindset of like established mainstream good anything but that anything else other than that bad no it's just that's just not true. It's just not true. And she herself is showing how brainwashed she is with how smug and casually dismissive she is of a literal genocide streamed in 4K. Pause on that for a second. They are seeing short form videos, some of them totally made up. That's such cope. That's such cope. "Were there like a handful of videos that may have been fabricated? Sure. But like 95% plus of the stuff that's posted, these videos of the horrors and the atrocities in Gaza, they were real. But you just you have no answer for that. So you go, 'Ah, it's all out of context and fake.' And no, you're wrong. You're just wrong. I'm not at all representing what they claim to be uh showing. And that's where they get their information. This reminds me of that Zionist who said Sarah Herurwitz or something, I think her name was. She's like, 'When I'm talking to a young Jewish person, I'm speaking through a wall of dead children.' That's what she said. So like, young Jewish people are not going to be as pro-Israel cuz I you know, they saw all the children Israel killed and that turned them against Israel. And her point was like, isn't that so irrational that I'm speaking through a wall of dead children? Obviously, you should put those dead children aside and listen to my propaganda instead. It's just so crazy. "Now, final point, I'll just say that look, I'm so happy that the Democratic base, the Democratic voting base, the liberals, they have all now gotten to the point where they say, I mean, Joy Reid literally said it to me and Crystal directly. She was like, 'Look, I was it I Bernie was the right one. It should have been Hillary. It should have been Bernie. She was the right one. Uh, he was the right one in 2016. I acknowledge that. I think everybody acknowledges that now. And she's right. **Virtually all of the Hillary Clinton voters from 2016 during the primary between Bernie and Hillary now, virtually all of them go, 'Yeah, Bernie should have been the one,' cuz this is who Hillary really is, right?** This was kind of what we were trying to warn you guys all along, us Bernie supporters from back in 2016. What we were trying to tell you is our beef with her is that she kind of is a Republican. She is a diet Republican. Uh you know, that's why she supported the war in Iraq, for example. Like, don't you want somebody who was right from the beginning? Because that shows what's going to happen the next time a contentious issue comes up. They're going to be right from the beginning. And so, but look, I don't want to rub it in because the fact of the matter is all those former Hillary supporters are now team Bernie. And they're all saying, 'Fuck these centrists. Fuck the sellouts to the establishment and MAGA and give us real fighter left-wing candidates.' So, they're with us now. "But this just further validates the notion that we were right all along. This is always who she was. always and uh she was always going to be super disappointing and you could not have a more clear example than fascism taking over this country at a rapid clip. The billionaires, the fascists, and the warmongers have totally taken over and they're destroying everything. And she's out here doing events with them and giving them credit and supporting the genocidal ethnostate and smearing young people for giving a shit about dead children they see on social media. No, they should care about those dead children. And those videos are real and they should be against it and they're fighting against it and they should be and you're the one who's standing in the fucking way because you're pathetic and because you're also bought by the Israel lobby as well, which colors your horrible politics on this issue, which is why you're full MAGA on it." 2025-12-09 | **Bill Maher**: "[Genocide] is when you try to wipe out an entire population of people, which they didn't come close to doing.

If you hate oppression, there is one issue that should be above all, because it affects more people, hundreds of millions of women, who have basically no freedom in the Muslim world." **Ana Kasparian**: "So we should slaughter them all? Which is what's been happening." **Bill Maher**: "Well, you should prosecute a war to the end ---" **Kulinski**: "So here's Ana saying alright, you have a problem with, in Muslim societies, women not having equal rights, and her response to that is, 'so I guess then it's okay for Israel to bomb babies and civilians, right?' and he's like "actually, yes.' Oh my god, bro. Like, and I mean this sincerely: what's the point in talking to a person, like, what's the point in having dialogue with a person like this? ... At this point it's like 'I swear, I'm going to change Adolf Hitler's mind, just put me in a room with him.' Like, it's not going to work." ... "It doesn't matter how good your argument is, how good your point is, he's basically going to double down and triple down and quadruple down on the outright disgusting atrocities being committed by the Israeli government. We have watched a genocide livestreamed in 4k for years now, and he still can't bring himself to do a 1% criticism of Israel, not even a little bit." **Bill Maher**: ".. and that does involve slaughter, of --- Every war, you know.. ---" **Kulinski**: "So here he is defending the bombing of schools, the bombing of hospitals, he's defending when Israel came out and said 'we're going to cut off all food, fuel, water and electricity to 2.3 million people,' even though Israel knows there's only 30 to 40 thousand Hamas members in Gaza." 2026-06-09 | From [Bill Maher CRUMBLES TO PIECES As Obama Official DRAGS HIS IRAN WARMONGERING](https://youtu.be/6C8Dm7Ji8Jk): [#](https://youtu.be/6C8Dm7Ji8Jk?t=453): Susan Rice: "And when we had a mechanism in place to prevent them [Iran] from getting it [nuclear weapons], he [Netanyahu] urged President Trump to get out of the deal, they got out of the deal, and what happened? Iran built up its arsenal. Now they have 440 kilograms of highly enriched uranium ---" **Kulinski**: "As they should." Rice: "--- enough for ten bombs. They have a sophisticated missile program. They now control the strait of Hormuz." **Kulinski**: "So in other words, y'all fucked up by pullin' out of that fuckin' deal." Rice: "And they are tanking the global economy as a consequence. And what have we done? We went to war. And we have not either dealt with the nuclear program or verifiably dealt with the missile program or the proxy problem." **Kulinski**: So understand, the other thing that pisses me off is this implication from [Bill] Maher, 'Oh, well, if they have a nuke, they're obviously gonna offensively use it against us or Israel or both.' That's the implication. And that's the thing that I fuckin' can't stand. And let me be clear: that 100 percent stems from his Islamophobia and his bigotry. 100 percent. Because any reasonable person who's objectively looking at the situation will come to the inevitable conclusion that the only reason Iran wants a nuke is to establish deterrence against Western aggression. Let me repeat that: the only reason Iran would want a nuke is to establish deterrence against Western aggression. They would be insane to not have a nuke, knowing now that Israel and the U.S. will repeatedly, illegally, and offensively attack them and bomb their schools and hospitals and bridges and steel factories and petro chemical plants and everything under the sun. So if anything, they've been vindicated every step of the way. But here's somebody who knows about the politics of the nuclear agreement and explains it to Bill Maher like he's a baby, and Bill Maher still can't get it through his fat, disgusting head. It is insane, bro. And let me be clear about something else, too: if you fancy yourself a Democrat and you were opposed to the Obama deal [JCPOA], then you're really not a Democrat. This is one of those, like, defining issues. 'Cause now we have an illegal war being waged against Iran, a country that didn't attack us or Israel, they were attacked first. [#](https://youtu.be/6C8Dm7Ji8Jk?t=576) And I'm sorry, but this is not a Democratic position. If you're taking this position, it is a neocon, warmonger, right-wing, MAGA position. And so anybody who's in the Democratic Party, and there's a lot of Israel-first Democrats in the Democratic Party, sorry, you're not on the team if you don't agree with Susan Rice here." 2026-08-03 | [Secret Israeli Op To R*TFUCK Spain EXPOSED!!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFmjHbOnXZE): "Most of the European U.S. vassal states are loyalist and sycophantic to Trump and to the U.S. and they're incredibly cucked and they go along with all the fuckin' terrorism in Gaza and they back Israel no matter what. "Over the weekend, quite a story broke. It's a very bizarre story. What happened was you had a bunch of refugees flee from Morocco and go into Spain, a Spanish territory which is right by Morocco called Ceuta. And it was a lot. It was like thousands, maybe tens of thousands that just showed up all at once like in a coördinated fashion, like that. They all showed up. Ceuta's very small, and you had thousands or tens of thousands of Moroccan refugees show up out of nowhere. ... They obviously don't have they don't even have like the the basic capacity to be able to help. They don't have the infrastructure. They don't have, you know, the food. They don't have the water. They don't have all the resources that would be needed to accommodate refugees, right? "Breaking: Trump sends a letter today to Morocco's king to confirm that the U.S. joins Israel in recognizing Morocco's control over Western Sahara only a day after the orchestrated invasion on Spain confirming U.S.--Israeli involvement. So in other words, this was Trump and then Yahoo working together with another vassal state of theirs, the government of Morocco, to say, 'Go ahead and do it. Pull the trigger. Go for it. Basically do an invasion of Ceuta, which is Spanish territory, and declare it for yourself.' Now, not only is this getting back at at Spain for being pro Palestine, right? There's another angle to this as well. Let me show you the map again. So, take a look at this. You'll notice Ceuta is right by the Strait of Gibraltar. The Strait of Gibraltar connects the Mediterranean to the Atlantic. It is a crucial passageway for global trade. Israel and the U.S. feared that if Spain really wanted to get ballsy, they could stand up to Israel and say, 'Now you can't go through the straight of Gibraltar either,' right? So, Iran shuts down the straight of Hormuz, the Houthis in Yemen shut down Bab el-Mandeb. Now they're worried: 'what if Spain says you can't use the Strait of Gibraltar, because they're war criminals who commit genocide and are fighting seven different wars at once against all their fuckin', uh, neighboring countries?' What if Spain is really about that life and they try to shut down the Strait of Gibraltar? We can't have that. Therefore, invade Ceuta and take over their control of the Strait of Gibraltar with Morocco, a more loyal vassal state. That's what this is. It is not a refugee crisis. It's not. I'm pro-reugee. This is not a refugee crisis. This is a coördinated invasion, ladies and gentlemen." 2026-08-29 | "All Hasan does all day every day is call for people to have healthcare and education and to end the wars and to stop arming genocide.

That third party can contractually require her to kill the child in her womb. The third party controls what she says about her pregnancy. They control what she buys with the allowance that she's given. And then when the nine months are up, she delivers the child and hands them over to the third party, never to see him again. The contract has been fulfilled. Now, if you hear all of that, how human bodies are rented for money, babies are exchanged as part of contractual agreements, and you think to yourself, wow, that sounds an awful lot like human trafficking, well, that just means you're more perceptive than the average moderate conservative who is always on hand to wish a hearty congratulations to gay couples who engage in this trafficking. Because it is indeed human trafficking by definition. The end result is that a child is immediately torn away from the woman who birthed him and raised intentionally motherless or fatherless as the case may be. The child will be deprived of what he needs, which is both a mother and a father, so that the gay couple can get what they want. "It's not the result of sickness or genetic defect when a homosexual couple is unable to have children. None of them are able or have ever been able or ever will be able. That is a sign from nature, about as glaring and obvious as signs as you can ever see, that **gay couples are not meant to have kids**. They're not meant to have kids because they cannot ever have kids because kids are meant to have both a mom and a dad. Now, it's true that plenty of kids end up with just one of those or sometimes none, but this just means that something went wrong. In that case, you do your best, the best you can to compensate. But with surrogacy, we are designing children from the outset to be motherless or fatherless. We are intentionally depriving them of what they are supposed to have. You know, it's true that some children grow up with one arm or no arms, but that obviously doesn't make it any more horrific, or any less horrific or barbaric to intentionally chop a child's arm off. "This is essentially what we're doing with commercial surrogacy. Only it's worse because it's far better for a child to be raised lacking one of his arms than to be raised lacking one of his parents. And that's why I will never applaud and cheer when we get these birth announcements from gay couples, because I'm more concerned about what the child needs than what those men want." .This is from "The Barbaric Truth About Commercial Surrogacy," only available fully on DailyWire+, but clipped segments of it can be found online, including [here.](https://www.mediamatters.org/matt-walsh/matt-walsh-its-far-better-child-be-raised-lacking-one-his-arms-have-gay-parents) 2023-02-16 | [monologue directed at Dylan Mulvaney]: "If that is the most attractive you will ever look, then I don't even want to imagine what you'll look like when you are at your ugliest. You do not pass as an attractive woman, or as a woman at all. Even with 50lb of make-up and plastic surgery and clever lighting tricks, even then you cannot escape what you really are and what you will always be. You have successfully shed whatever parts of you were masculine, perhaps, at least on the surface. Nobody would ever describe you as masculine or manly, so you've got that going. But your femininity quotient has not increased with a rate commensurate with the loss of your masculinity. You may not be masculine, but you also aren't feminine. Instead you are weird and artificial, you are manufactured and lifeless, you are unearthly and eerie, you are like some kind of human deep-fake. That's what you are. You are a man deprived of all the best qualities of men but without any of the best qualities of women. Even your personality is contrived. Everything about you is fake. Nothing about you rings true. Nobody buys the act. You'll never be accepted by a woman by anyone, never, by anyone, even the people who pretend to accept you as a woman are only pretending because they're afraid of being lectured if they don't. Or because they want to use you as a platform to virtue signal. But everyone who looks at you will see something pitiable and bizarre, something utterly unfeminine in every way. You will never be able to actually have the identity that you're trying to appropriate. Nor will you ever be able to fully escape the identity that you're fleeing.

I can't see that it is, because of the problem that every definition incorporates some notion that it's irrational. There's nothing irrational about that resentment. And that's, you say, it's hard to fight antisemitism? I think the problem is even bigger: the problem is, is it even antisemitism? When an ethnic group uses its financial and its political clout in order to further a Jewish supremacist agenda, is that antisemitism? I don't think it is. The problem is this. If there's a significant number of people carrying on in this way, is it really irrational? Is it really irrational? And as I said, part of a core, core definition of antisemitism, is it's supposed to be irrational. Is it really irrational if people reach, make a leap, and say the way Jews are carrying out is completely outrageous? Is it, does that really shock the conscience, when people reach that conclusion? Israel calls itself the state of the Jewish people. So is it so shocking if people conclude that when Israel carries on this way, it's acting *Piker:* And its defenders say that they're doing this at the behest of Judaism. **Finkelstein**: Right, at the behest of the Jewish people. Is that such a shocking conclusion? No, I don't think so. And I don't really, at some level, I don't really quarrel with people who reach the wrong conclusion. I'm going to say, okay. My parents passed through the Nazi holocaust. They lost, on both sides, my mother and father, lost every single member. To their dying day, they hated every German. Every German. Okay? Did I like that? Not really. Did I ever quarrel with them about it? Never. Did I ever argue with them about that? Never. I understood from their experience. I remember I once asked my mother the question. It's curious. I said, did you ever meet a German during the extermination who showed some sympathy? She thought very hard. She thought very hard. And then she said, 'I remember once a German soldier, he had a look on his face of feeling a little guilty.' She said, I remember one. So is it so shocking that she generalized from her experience and hated all Germans? I don't find that particularly shocking. And given what she endured, there was no way on God's earth that I would dare to quarrel with that experience. Did I think it was wrong? Yes. Do I have German friends? Yes. But will I argue? No. And in the same way, will I argue with a Palestinian or a Gazan who hates all Jews? Never. I would never argue with it. That's their experience. I will now not, which is totally out of character for me, I will not talk to an Israeli. You crossed the red line. You've gone too far. I've read too many human rights reports. You have targeted, targeted, you have targeted too many Gazan children. You have targeted too many in their head, you have targeted too many in their chest, you have targeted too many toddlers. Now you say, 'that's generalizing, that's not every Israeli.' Well, it's not really? Is it not? **Finkelstein**: I've read the polls. The polls show --- these polls are taken, like, every two weeks since the Gaza genocide. And you know what the polls showed? *Piker:* 80 percent support. **Finkelstein**: 5 percent of Israeli Jews thought Israel was using too much force. 95 percent said either sufficient force or not enough force. Of those 95 percent, 40 percent siad not enough force. I can go through many, many polls. Israel, to its, its, um, no, I wouldn't say honour, but it has a citizen army. I think a citizen army is a correct concept. Everybody should have to pay that ultimate price to defend their country. An army should not be composed of the poor or those who have no futures. So they say, you benefit from the independence of your country, everybody should have to serve to defend the country up to and including the ultimate sacrifice. Okay. But then there's a problem. You have a citizen army. You know what a citizen army means? It's representative of the population. Now if that citizen army is committing genocide, it's also representative of the population. It's not an unfair generalization to say this is a nation of child killers. To say this is a nation of child murderers. That's a fact. So then you say, well, but the number who actually target children, you know. Yes, it's horrible, yes it's terrible, you know the most recent --- *Piker:* No, it's the complicity. **Finkelstein**: The most recent UN Commission of Inquiry report on child assaults and children: they targeted an orphanage. But okay, you say that's still a handful. But here's a question. It was being reported already in mid-2024. It was already being reported: Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza. Everybody agreed on that. The EU foreign policy chief, Guterres, everybody agreed. Israel's using starvation as a method of war. Okay? Now, it's not easy to use starvation as a weapon of war. You have to seal all the points of entry. You have to blow up food banks in Gaza in order to make that work. The whole Israeli army was implicated. And you know what? You know who you're trying to starve? 1.5, 1.1 of those 2.23 million Gazans are children. You are concretely implicated or, to use your word, complicitous in starving children. Okay, guys, you lost me. If I meet somebody in the street or at the beach, because I'm right near Coney Island beach, and the person says I'm from Israel, I walk away. I won't talk. You lost me. So to get back to your original question. *Piker:* I'm, again, I'm a little bit too woke for this, and only because I --- it's interesting, I had a very similar, well, not on this issue --- **Finkelstein**: I don't, I'm not proud, I'm not happy with what I'm saying. On the other hand, I think a line has been crossed. # Pierre Poilievre [@PierrePoilievre](https://x.com/PierrePoilievre), Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada; Opposition Leader in the Canadian House of Commons !table 2023-08-16 | "BREAKING: CBC officially exposed as "government-funded media".

We need a strong leader who will negotiate with backbone and brains, who will slash taxes, bureaucracy, and red tape to unleash free enterprise here in Canada so that our workers and our entrepreneurs can bring home the hundreds of billions of dollars that Trudeau's socialist policies have driven south.

The price, though, is in smaller paycheques, higher costs, fewer jobs, more crime, chaos, drugs, and danger. But the good news is that Canadians can elect a common sense Conservative government, with a leader who has the brains and backbone to face President Trump, who has a plan to unleash the productive forces of our workers and entrepreneurs to bring home our money and defend our economy, and to take back control. Take back control of our borders, immigration, spending, and everything else, so that we can put Canada first." *Question: "You are hoping to be the next Prime Minister.

Ah, just, no, it's just crazy you'd bring AIPAC up because I just never hear about, that's so fascinating you'd bring them up because I've never even heard of these guys.' It was like that clip of David Pakman pretending he doesn't know how AIPAC is pronounced, you know?" .Here's that Gavin Newsom appearance that he's referring to: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE1-If-iA-U](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE1-If-iA-U), starting around 1:03:50. "Exploring the Democratic Narrative With Gov. Gavin Newsom," *Higher Learning*, hosted by Van Lathan and Rachel Lindsay: Lathan: "A huge percentage of likely-Democratic primary voters favour restricting U.S. military assistance to Israel until civilian concerns and the rights and self-determination, the rights and humanity of the Palestinian people are sufficiently addressed. **Are you in favour of halting military assistance to Israel?**" **Newsom**: "Well the timing's a curious one when, uh, on the precipice of a phase-one deal that was announced today [2025-10-09] and a ceasefire, but I get it. So look, no **I'm not prepared to say** that I would support a blanket exemption for military support of Israel. That said, I've been very vocal in my opposition to Bibi, Netanyahu. Said he doubled down on stupid on *Meet the Press* like a year ago. I'm sitting here on your behalf, you're a taxpayer, as the only governor in the United States that's sent a field hospital to Gaza, and got it in through a third-party country, and is disgusted by what's happening in Gaza, as a human being, as a father, to see these children and how this war's been perpetuated by Bibi Netanyahu. I also have deep respect for the right of the state of Israel to exist and defend itself, and I thought the attack by Hamas was a terrorist attack, and we have to be clear about that as well. And when it gets into the nuances, and I know there was a bill in Congress on this, which I was not privy to, the details of the bill, where there was an actual vote on your question. That's one conversation, of the specifics that I was not privy to, the nuances of that, in my job as governor. But a blanket restriction, I would have a difficult time supporting." Lathan: "I guess the question is: if there's an admission or an understanding that the Prime Minister of a country is acting in a way that is either irresponsible, callous, or inhumane, **why would we continue to support that country militarily?**" **Newsom**: "It's the executive's role to leverage that. We do that a lot. That's part of the game of leverage. But to eliminate support across the board is something, to me, is a bridge too far. Conditioning, in a thoughtful way with the flexibility of criteria, flexibility with conditions that are changing on an hourly or daily basis, or weekly basis, as it relates to not just what's happening in Gaza but what's happening in Lebanon, what's happening in Iran, what's happening in Syria, and other parts of the Middle East, is where I think you have to be careful, and I just don't think there's a clean way of answering that without the nuance that I think it deserves." Lathan: "Um... **AIPAC. I will not vote for a candidate that takes one dollar from AIPAC**." **Newsom**: "That's interesting. I mean, it's interesting, I haven't thought about AIPAC, in... **It's interesting, you're like the first to bring up AIPAC in years**." Lathan: "Why?" **Newsom**: "Not relevant to my day to day life, which is just interesting. **It's interesting you say that. JPAC perhaps more, but AIPAC, less and less**. Which is just interesting." .*JPAC refers to the Joint Public Advisory Committee, part of the Commission for Environmental Cooperation.* Lathan: "What's interesting about it?" **Newsom**: "It's just interesting that, as you bring up AIPAC, that it hasn't been part of --- ... I'm just reflecting, quite openly and honestly, hasn't been part of the day to day." Lathan: "Yeah. The only reason why I ask is because, uh, with that, what I'm talking about is lobbying in and of itself, let me be honest with you. The first thing that I'm ---" **Newsom**: "Were you not honest this whole damn time? Unbelievable. What the hell is that?" Lathan: "Just to let you know, they fry my ass on here, because I was like, you know who I was like? I like the way Gavin Newsom talks to these people and stuff like that. I'm trying to figure out right now who I can vote for." **Newsom**: Why are you so focused on years and years? Focus on prop 50. It's in front of you. Focus on your city council race. Focus on the school board. Focus on getting rid of me as governor, focus on that, man. You are so many years ahead, the world is radically changing. Jesus Christ. Take a deep breath. Lathan: "This is the reason why. All of the stuff that we've talked about, focused on, locally, you've been so generous with your time, you've answered all the questions, all of that. But also, I look at Chicago and what's happening there. I look at Louisiana. I look at New York. I look at Portland. I look at all of that. And governor, I want it over. I want it stopped. I want it over. I want this period of fear, this period of panic, this period of dehumanization, I want it over. And I'm like, how are we gonna get it done?" **Newsom**: "Well it ain't gonna get done in 2029. You gotta get done now." ... *chat message (Vaush reads aloud):* "[JB] Pritzker openly gave support for an arms embargo on Israel." **Kochinski**: "Yeah, **but that's not enough. You need to hate Israel**. It's not enough, this tepid, milquetoast, liberal, handwringing, you know, pearl-clutching, 'oh, yeah, no, I'm concerned by Israel's behaviour and I support blank or Y against them,' or whatever else. No, come on, man. Evil fucking country. And the people who don't like Israel don't just disagree with Israel's policies, okay? Like, you, there's no middle road here." .Vaush then plays a clip of the Newsom interview (above) by an account that describes it as "Newsom claims nobody has brought up the foreign influence operation in years" (AIPAC is not a foreign influence operation) *chat message (Vaush reads aloud):* "The biggest tell they're cucked or not is when a Democrat says 'the Netanyahu' regime or government instead of the country broadly." **Kochinski**: "Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, when Democrats are like 'I disagree with the policies of Netanyahu's government,' as though the guy who's gonna come next won't be just as bad or worse." *chat message (Vaush reads aloud):* "This gaff [the interview with Lathan] is bad enough to potentially disqualify him." **Kochinski**: "Oh, I'm genuinely, **if Gavin Newsom ends up being the presidential candidate in 2028, I'm not doing any advocacy for his election**. Unless something changes. Well, it's 3 years out, so I shouldn't make any predictions, I suppose, but like right now, I just don't see myself supporting him. **That would be such a massive 'fuck you' from the Democrats**. 'Nothing will ever change, this is all you can get forever, we will keep losing as many times as we need to before you're willing to swallow the dogshit and just, like, accept that this is the best things can get.' It's either insane, like, hyper-populist, corporatist, you know, borderline feudal fascism, or, uh, this dogshit believe-in-nothing neoliberalism, and there's no other, there's no third way, there's no other way to do things, you know? Fuck you." **Kochinski**: "Imagine how it's going to be when Fox News starts running Israel skepticism on their main line, and it's only Democrat-affiliated media who are still doing this phony, only-democracy-in-the-Middle-East bullshit." **Jennifer Welch**: "Do you think he's a war criminal? Benjamin Netanyahu. Do you think he's a war criminal?" **Cory Booker**: "These are questions that a lot of people think are the important litmus tests, that are loaded and hot. My urgency... ---" **Kochinski**: "If this is the way the Democrats are talking in 2028, then they deserve to lose to the Republicans, and frankly the American people deserve what comes next for having chosen to them in the Democratic primary. Are you fucking kidding me? How, like, how transparently cucked do you have to be, how beholden to special interest groups, to corporate lobbies, whatever the fuck, do you have to be to be this transparently bought on an answer? Nobody talks this way." **Cory Booker**: "My urgency is to be an effective leader in bringing an end to this crisis. And I get these questions all the time that to me, undermine my urgency." **Jennifer Welch**: "I think the thing that Democrats get so frustrated with, where we are right now, where you see the Zohran Mamdanis and the Graham Platners rise up, because they can go on podcasts and you can say 'do you think Benjamin Netanyahu's a war criminal?' and they just say yes and that's the end of it." **Kochinski**: "They're trying to make me care about a damn tattoo when the entire Democratic political apparatus is complicit in a conspiracy to work with and defend a, uh, genocidal ethno-state. It's not even about the Palestinians, man. Obviously I think it would be great if they could stop dying. That'd be fuckin' awesome. But anyone who is this cucked to Israel is cucked to every special interest. It doesn't begin and end with that. It's not like people like Cory Booker are gonna be cucked to Israel but then are going to be like, militant populist warriors for the working class once they get back to the States or whatever. It's a litmus test, right? It's the water line. It shows you where they stand, or where their values *aren't*, I suppose. Anyone who can be bought on this can be bought on anything, which is why as a general rule, the more pro-Israel a person is, the more Hitlerite they are on every other issue, right? Fetterman was always a Zionist, but as soon as it became more important for him to be a loud Zionist, he shifted to the right on every single issue. You know? It's the only important thing to these people and they will compromise every other value in service of it." # Wajahat Ali !table 2026-09-04 | "Dear Shannon, Here's the full exchange where I made it clear that no one should ever use the word monkey with Black people, even as a slip of the tongue, because of the racist history. Watch the video, and also PLEASE stop supporting Israel's genocide and stop doing events with Destiny, who is accused of revenge porn and said, 'children are hotter than adults.'"
