Transcription

Oh, what an incredible start to my day! I was up late last night after stream, and stream went long. Uh, but I was up late doing rentoid [ __ ] I I have to regrout uh some parts of my bathroom. It's a pretty grueling process, I have to say. I've done easy regrouting, and this is not it. It's on the um difficult end. I was up till 2:30 in the morning doing that. Couldn't sleep till 3:30.

Woke up this morning, and what did I do? Well, it was stream time. But then I thought, well, actually Vermin thought, what if we went out and got some bagels? Went up to a bagel place in the uh village up near UW, and um they were delicious. And what do I find there? A newly opened Buck Mason. Yeah, it was a nice one, too. Had men and women's clothing and a nice car parked inside, a BMW. Um, I actually hadn't shopped in Buck Mason for about a year. So, I took the time, got myself a nice pair of jeans, some shorts, uh, shirt. Um, bagel was great. Came back home to find that something I ordered months ago, uh, bit of jewelry and a bandana had finally come through. And, uh, and that's the morning I've been having. Oh, look. Cute, right? Native American jewelry and western wear go together very well.

Of course, as soon as stream's done, I've got to go back to deggrouting and regrouting. Um, so it's a it's a full day ahead of me. How do you wear your bandana? Uh, I mean, I like a little neckerchief personally. Uh, the problem is I have a really thick neck, so normal bandana sizes don't really work that well for me. Um, but thankfully this one's oversized, oversized bandana. It's not that thick of a neck. 16 and a half inches. But it's thick enough that a standard 21-inch bandana uh doesn't quite the the the ties at the end are just a little bit too, you know.

Do you mean caulking? Not grouting. Oh, not grouting. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Caulking. Not grouting. Not Not grouting. Let's see the pants. I'm not wearing the pants. I'm in, you know, I'm I'm streaming on a relatively warm day. I'm not wearing pants right now. I am wearing the new shorts. I got see they're a little long for my taste, but I thought that I might hem them and get them down to like a nice, you know, but um but I like the fit quite a bit. They're nice linen. Very light. Very light. A little incongruous of me to wear a flannel with linen shorts, but it is my stream.

I like your lumberjack shirt. It's not a lumberjack shirt, okay? It's just a flannel. Um I don't like the lumberjack look. Uh it's a western flannel. See, it's pearl snap. Nice vintage Wrangler. I got this at a thrift store. Okay. It's got the western yolk, the western shoulder. See all the way to the back. Totally lumberjack. Yeah, well, that's what you say. Okay. What's wrong with the lumberjack look? Just a little bit too typical, you know? Oh, you're a tall guy with a beard who lives in the Pacific Northwest. Wow, nice aesthetic. Yeah, I get it. Guilty as charged. Yick looking ass. Don't you start with me. Don't you start with me.

Have you seen this really funny Jamal Bowman interview Breaking Point said yesterday? I streamed for 12 hours yesterday, and no point during those 12 hours did I watch this interview. Then I slept, and I just described my morning to you. When would I have watched this Breaking Points interview? If you're a real fan, tell me where I was at 6:32 p.m. PT yesterday. That's what I thought. Pissing. You all should piss more. Sometimes when people are like, "Dude, that's the third piss you've taken in this 4-hour stream," it makes me wonder how many fluids you guys are getting, you know? Like, do you guys piss like like three or four times a day? Like, how how much are you guys pissing now? Like 15 times. Good. Is that not normal? No. You should probably be peeing like 10 times a day. I don't know. Kind of varies, not three to four. 10. I don't like to count. That's a lot. You should drink a lot of water. You pee a lot because you're drinking a lot. How much water are you drinking? This is 2 and 1/2 L. And I have a couple things of Gatorade every day. And I have four cups of coffee every day. So this a day plus four cups of coffee. Two to four cups of coffee plus two or three Gatorade bottles. Pee 10 times a day. That's so much water. It's not hurting you. It like you're not wounding yourself. You are drinking too much. It can cause electrolyte imbalance and kidney issues.

Hey, Richard Fallus. Weren't you the person who was having a nervous breakdown in chat yesterday? You should work on your anxiety. Maybe you also have a touch of hypochondria. Oh, you thought I wouldn't remember you? I actually have an eidetic memory when it comes to uh people in chat annoying me. All right. Well, cool. Yeah, it is pretty cool actually. All the time, Lexi G. As long as you're not drinking more than one liter an hour. Uh, one liter of water an hour, you're good. Well, yeah. I'm drinking more than one liter an hour, and you'd always have like a cartoon tummy. You'd always have like a [ __ ] beer belly. No, that's that's crazy. The amount you're drinking in the coffee is really good for your kidneys. Helps flush out the nasty stuff. Dana, you like to be sarcastic, but I assume in this case you're you're you're not being sarcastic because it is in fact good for your kidneys to drink a lot of water. As not as long as you're not drinking like so much you're po I'm being serious. Okay. Yeah. People hear the about that one story of the mom who got water poisoning trying to win that water contest. Funny uh for a kid and they're like, "Oh, no, no, no. You shouldn't drink 2 liters of water a day. That's dangerous." You know, you got to do the research. All right. Your body has a built-in water regulation system. It's called thirst. Yeah. And I'm thirsty all the time. Have you not seen me on Twitter? Yes. I'm a I'm a I'm a bigger boy than you are. Okay. Sorry. Your small body requires small amounts of hydration, and my large body requires large amounts of hydration. Okay. I live an active lifestyle. Not really. Sometimes I do. Okay. Listen. All right. Like the noble lion, what do I spend most of my days doing? Yes. Relaxing in the shade. However, when I jump into gear, it's it's till the room stinks, till the feet stink, cuz I'm out there walking the beat. All right. Go on a hike. Sure. Go on two hikes. That's twice as fun. Walking all around town. Hit me up. Get my canvas sneakers on. I don't give a [ __ ] Foam padding. What am I, a [ __ ] woman? No. I'm hitting all this uh barefoot more or less elevation wise. There's a thin layer of cork.

Did you play Death Stranding? I live Death Stranding. I go on long walks and I try to build connections between people. Okay. Also, like Sam Porter Bridges, I'm autistic. I assume he's autistic. He's probably, if you played Death Stranding, he's probably autistic. Walking and talking is not very special. And yet so many people are bad at it. I've walked past you and I've talked past you, you know. Oh, walking and talking. Okay. Yeah. Cutting a the making a salad is is pretty easy, you know. But have you seen a chef handle a knife? Don't talk down to me. I know where you live. I'm in a pretty good mood after the Mandani one. I got to say I'm in a pretty good mood. Aren't we all? I hope so. You know, for anyone in chat who's irritated at my perfect physical health, I will give you a bit of a red flag to uh to chew on, to feast on, okay? And it's my nose has been bleeding a lot. I'm pretty sure it's just cuz it's been warm and dry. Um and because it's been warm, I've been running the AC, and the AC also dries out the room. But in case I I meet my end that I'm giving you like the lead now. You're I'm giving you the fish hook. You know, both nostrils are same one. When it happens, it's just one usually just probably abrasion, you know. Isn't that how Napoleon died? Did Napoleon die from eating [ __ ] that stang too good or something? You read that letter that he sent his wife where he was like, "Don't wash." Didn't that get him? He died of arsenic, but okay. That's what I said. Yeah, close enough.

I'm in talks with NYC DSA about crocheting Mandani dolls for them. Good. I actually want some Mandani merch. I was thinking like because he couldn't sell merchandise because he hit the funding cap. I was thinking like So it's it's yellow, orange, and blue. If I got like a blue baseball cap and I got uh like a patch that I sewed onto it, I could make my own like like get the embroidery done, you know, like in the colors. I'd get two. I'd get them in both colorways. I'd get like the orange and yellow hat with a blue Zaran Mandani embroidery and the other way with a blue hat with the yellow and orange Zaran Mandani. I I I would love that. You can get free merch if you volunteer. Yeah, but I don't know how high quality the merch is. Was it made in Japan? I don't care for the made in America stuff. What? So, who made it then? Mexicans in Los Angeles sweat shops? No, no, no, no, no. Okay, I want Is it indigo dyed? I'm kidding. I'm being insufferable. I don't really care. Um, thing Japan. I was thinking today I wanted a hat with his Z logo on it. All right, pause. A Z without context might confuse some people. Uh you might want to uh find you might want to find a way to uh workshop it. Slava Ukraine. Uh we should do politics. I hear politics is happening. It can't be a super long stream. Partly because half of it has to be reading donuts from yesterday and partly because I've got a lot of work to do. I'm I'm sorry. You think, "Oh, it can't just be degrading the tub." Yes, it is. Well, decaulking the tub. Decaulking the tub. Why don't you just pay for a professional? Cuz I don't want to. I don't want to You don't decaulk, you scrape it. Yeah, that's decaulking. Stop taking jobs from Americans. Ah, good point. Good point. I'm American. Yeah, dude. My nose is bleeding. Wait, if you're a renter, why isn't your landlord doing it? Have you tried going to your landlord for every little thing that goes wrong in your house? Your house will always have like a guy going into it. Okay. You have sometimes you have to just be like I can like you you sometimes you have to just do the thing. Getting landlords to do things honestly. All right. Why don't you buy a home?

Ah Flamco Fencer, I noticed that you haven't yet purchased the tier five sub. Uh, the one that costs on average in Seattle $2.3 million. Would you like to buy a month of that? Maybe that'll get you a green name for all the dollars that you have lying around. No, don't have that off hand. Me either. I have euros. Honestly, in this economy, in in in this international financial environment, €2.3 million. All right, we'll do it your way. Thank you. We should do politics. All right, guys. For a while now, we have been waiting for the Democratic establishment to do anything anything in response to the Trump administration and its relentless attacks on our democracy, uh undoing our society, pulling away at its edges, engaging in open, flagrant corruption. And so far, the Democrats have done by and large literally nothing. That's barely an exaggeration. I mean, it it really is incredible how little they've done, how little they've said. Um but we are now living in a new era. An era prompted not by action from the Democrats uh you know as a party but rather by a very very unlikely I forgot to do the thing. I forgot uh a very unlikely mayoral primary victory. Professional streamer by the way. Yes. Mandani won. And if you haven't seen his victory speech, you're a loser and you'll probably never have sex. Watch his [ __ ] victory speech, man. He or it's crazy. Okay, it's good. Uh so the question then is because listen, it is Mandani versus the world, right? And we have a lot of people to look at. He's going to be facing that. And listen, I we are as far as I'm concerned, it is ride or die, okay? We have been tossed a life raft. All right? We have been given a through line. Finally, in the in the in the non-stop storm, a light has broken through. We need to take this. So, it's ride or die. So, we're defending him against everyone and everything. Fly coming at Manny. I swat it down. All right. Stay vigilant.

First, we take a look at the Republicans. All right. And honestly, it's pretty funny. First thing I want to know, okay, here's Fox News. Here's their recent videos. They've put out, let's see, 4 8 12 16 um 20 24 28. We'll say 32 videos in the past 24 hours. Look for Ramdani. This is a overwhelming upset. An unbelievable meteoric rise of a Muslim democratic socialist winning over the capital city of the planet earth. The biggest city in America, New York City, financial and cultural center of the country to a large extent. You know, not trying to start any fights, but you know, let's be real here. You see Mandani? Oh, there he is in the video that I already had up. Panic ensues as Dem Socialist declares victory in NYC mayoral primary. Quick question. You think they're talking about their panic or Democrat panic? They're talking about Democrat panic is what I'm guessing. I haven't seen the video. Who's talking about it? These two? Who are these people? Nobody knows. My answer, they're burying this. Or at least they don't know how to respond yet. They're straight up ignoring it. They haven't settled on a narrative yet. I mean it. That's it. They know Mandani represents a real threat in the same way they did with Bernie Sanders. The Republicans, their strategists aren't stupid. They're crazy, but they're not stupid. They understand why the Democrats keep losing. It's not a secret. Everyone knows why nobody likes the Democrats. The only people who can't see it are people like Schumer. Maybe he just doesn't care, right? It's cuz they care about nothing. They represent nothing. They have no beliefs, and they're completely unenergetic. They know people like Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Mandani represent a real threat, but they haven't settled on a narrative yet. The only real meaningful push back that I have seen to Mani's victory in New York City from the right has come in large part from Charlie Kirk, who has just been essentially an open white nationalist in response to it. Here's a tweet. The lesson from New York City is that both illegal and legal immigration can ruin your country. It's not just the open border. It's also our suicidal mass legal migration policies bringing in over 1 million people a year. Green cards, chain migration, refugee resettlement, anchor babies, and asylum scams. This all needs to be ended. Wow, what a shocker. They actually just hate brown people. It's not It has nothing to do with illegal immigration. Thank you, Dems, for capitulating on this topic. Just a Nazi. Um, the funny thing is, of course, that white people voted for Mandani. So like if if the argument like well if if we just made New York City a white ethnos if we return New York City to what it has historically been a city with no immigrants only white people then everything would be okay. Well actually that would have gone even further to Mandani. The group that voted for Cuomo the most was black people. So, to be clear, listen, that you're you're really hedging your bets on like the the the Kanye political action group here, okay? Right-wing black people. That was your greatest weapon against Mandani. All right. Uh, white people voted for Mandani. Charlie Kirks made a bunch of tweets like this. They're all essentially just like, "Muslims uh uh are evil. Muslims are dangerous." They're all like that. They're not like novel or interesting. The power centers of the West will soon have Muslim mayors. You become what you import. Would you support net zero immigration moratorium to America? 24 years ago, a group of Muslims killed 3,000 people 9/11. Now a Muslim socialist on Patron New York City. So this is one strategist, right? Or or one strategy. One strategy to respond to Mamani is to just scream like I'm a Nazi. I'm a Nazi. Hile hell. Hile, right? Uh, and I think a lot of Republicans are going to go in that direction. The funny thing is like if you wanted to fearmonger over Mamani being a Muslim, he's just, let's be real here, sorry, I'm going to appeal to intuition, not that scary of a Muslim, okay? Like, if you wanted to appeal to white racists being racist against Mamani, Mamani is like a super chill [ __ ] guy. Like I'm sure you could find some Muslim off the street who has like a longer beard like they did in that ad where they edited his beard to be longer, that attack ad from the Cuomo group or whatever and and has the the hat with the edge. You know what I'm talking about. Listen, I'm not a scholar, okay? I do what I do best. Uh which is sitting here not knowing much about other cultures. Uh but with Mandani, it just doesn't work that well. Um, so if this is the approach they're going to take, unironically, I actually think that's a huge losing approach for the Republicans. Doubling down on the hatred, I don't think it's going to work. One of the reasons Trump was able to win in 2024 is because he expanded his coalition with young black men and a lot of Latino voters. Doubling down on white nationalism as opposed to like the Trumpesque civil nationalism where you pretend you only care about illegal immigration. I don't think that works. I don't think that's viable. And I don't think Republicans have the electoral mandate they'd need to do a real white ethnostate. I just don't I just don't um I don't think that's I don't think they have anywhere near Look at how much they're flustering just trying to like maintain deportation numbers roughly equal to what Obama had. like to to even ballpark the same number of people turned away that Obama had. They're they're like flustered. They're they're like melting down. They're having to build new Guantanamo Bays everywhere. They're freaking out. They're sending people to [ __ ] Rwanda. Oh, no. Obama was great at deporting people. I'm not knocking him for the thing he was best at. Well, I definitely am, but I wouldn't say that he was bad at it. Um it's uh it's it's just that I don't think they're capable of going down this road. I don't think they can do everything they would need to do to make it viable, you know. But I'm not going to lie to you guys. This is the only response that I've seen. Apart from some whiny neoliberals and disingenuous Zionists who are freaking out over like uh uh the the anti-Jewish pilgrim, they're sure will happen like any day now or whatever. I have not seen any kind of organized Republican response to Mamani. I haven't. Isn't that interesting?

Manny is without question right now the center of the Democratic party. like he is the shining star in the night. Everyone knows this is where the energy is. Everyone's looking at Mandani, and Mandani knows it. He said in his victory speech, he said, "I want to be a model for the Democratic party moving forward." That statement would come across as arrogant from any candidate other than him. But because it's him, he's completely correct, and he should be. And I love that for him. He will need to have enormous balls to do what needs to be done in the coming years. How are the abundance schools responding? Mostly coping and saying that like he's on their side. The point of the abundance liberal movement was to distract people from socialism by making them weedy little yimi policy guys. The fact that mom donni was like, "Yeah, I'll take your weedy little yimi policies and also be a socialist means that the abundance movement failed. It was instantly co-opted by somebody infinitely more charismatic than Ezra Klene or a Glacius, you know, and they're not taking it back. Yoink. I think Republicans are going to back Eric Adams. It doesn't matter. Mani has won. Cuomo conceded. Eric Adams has like what 20% approval. Don't make me laugh. There's ab there's there's absolutely no way with the momentum uh that Mandani now commands for God's sake like even um oh god I've forgotten how to say her name again Kathy Hochel Hokll it's got to be Hokll not Hochel Kathy Hochul right please God tell me it's Kathy Hochul correct okay even she's already kind of bent the knee to him, you know. Uh there's no way Adams wins. Unless something happens to M Donnie, he will be the next mayor of New York City. So with that in

Mind, what the [ __ ] are they going to do about him? Beer over how he wants to make New York City affordable? Look at Donald Trump's tweet. It finally happened. The Democrats have crossed the line. Saran Mandani, a 100% communist lunatic, has just won the Dem primary and is on his way to becoming mayor. We've had radical lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous. He looks terrible. His voice is grading. He's not very smart. He's got AOC plus three dummies all backing him. Even our great Palestinian senator, crying Chuck Schumer, is graveling over him.

Yes, this is a big moment in the history of our country. This is nothing. This is a shockingly weak response considering what Mani represents. This is this is very much like we have nothing on him. We can't attack him for being socialist apart from calling him crazy because if you talk about his policies, he sounds like kind of good to most people. Uh, you can't talk about him being a populist because Trump pretends to be a populist. Mandani actually is one. He went from zero to 100 with nothing but like charisma and support from regular working people. He's not some billionaire pretender. So, you can't really go after him on that angle. And Trump has declined to take the well, he's a scary Muslim angle, which seems to be what a lot of other Republicans are settling on.

Honestly, I think Mamani has them scared. And I mean it. The silence from Fox News is my evidence. Otherwise, you would you would already have uh uh uh uh the five or or whatever. You would you would already have like six segments laughing at him, you know, and I'm sure they will put those out. Don't get me wrong, they'll come, but they weren't ready for this. They didn't expect this outcome. And they know what he represents. What if Cuomo runs independent? Manny won. You got to look at the Fox News clips channel for people like Fox and Friends talking about Mandani. Oh, their smaller second channel. That's That's where they're putting it. This has 5.7K views and it was put up two hours ago. Democrat Zoran Mandani declared victory in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last night. That's interesting. Why did they put this uh 11-minute segment talking about an incredibly important like internationally uh acknowledged mayoral race with a stunning upset that you'd think normally they'd all be up in in flames about? Why they put that in the second channel? That's interesting. Would be the first Muslim elected mayor of the city if he were to win. We made history. I'm former Governor Cuomo and Mayor Ad. He's a snake oil salesman. No, no, no. Let's hear the rhetoric. I want to hear it. I want to hear it. Tear into him. He's a snake oil salesman. He will say and do anything to get elected.

Think about this for a moment. He wants to raise 1%. He wants to raise tax on 1% of New York, as high income earners. As a mayor, you don't have the authority to do that. You know who has the authority to do that? An assemblyman, which he is. He wants to do free buses. He could have done it at Assemblyman. Former Governor Cuomo left the door open to possibly run as an independent in the general election. First, these results in the primary need to become official uh with New York City's rank choice voting system. But we could have a pretty stacked ticket with three big-name Democrats in the general election alongside Curtis Leewa who's running as a Republican this fall. We'll send it back to you, Harris. Nate Foy, very interesting race. Notice how they're trying to delay acknowledging that he's won. Adams has no chance. Cuomo has no chance. Siwa has no chance. Mandani has won. Good to see you. Polling expert and political analyst Nate Silver says Mandani delivered the Democratic establishment the thrashing it deserved. His victory quote demon Nate Silver very much with the um I wonder who this sign applies to meme. Nate Silver was saying dumb [ __ ] about Mumani up until broken clock, right? No, this is not this is not a broken clock being right twice a day. This is somebody noticing that a broken clock isn't moving and then manually adjusting its hands over to the correct time at that moment.

Strates how the Democratic establishment is out to lunch with much of it backing Quomo, an obviously flawed candidate who came to prominence because of his family name, who has not lived in New York City in decades and whose preferred bagel order consists of an English muffin. This opened the door for Mandani's far-left extremism, and we've heard a lot of it on multiple occasions. Watch this. How many more New York will you detain? How many more New York? Do you believe in the First Amendment? Do you believe in the First Amendment, Tomman? When we talk about defund the Damn, that's that's terrible. NYPD, the entirety of the the the push is defund the NYPD, all of these different social services. Does that just make you uncomfortable? Like the phrase globaliz from the river to the sea. You know, I I I know people for whom those things mean very different things. Arabic words can be twisted, can be distorted, can be used to justify any kind of meaning to millions. Incredible. Like it with all of the public messaging that he's engaged in, the fact that Manny is so difficult to clip because he has so much message discipline. Like the best they can do is clip chimping like literally like four seconds out of a talk where he doesn't even sound bad at all. Like it doesn't even sound like anything. That's the best they can do. People, particularly Jewish Americans, globalize the inifado from the river to the sea only means one thing. Steve Hilton, former senior adviser to David Cameron and Republican candidate for California government for governor, excuse me. This is Oh, yeah. I'm sure he'll uh I'm sure he'll get it. Um, I I I hope, by the way, and she sounds so enthusiastic. I really hope that Republicans keep running with this angle because the like Mandani hates the Jews secretly, even though all evidence points to the contrary argument did not work against Mdani when it was supposed to. Even with like everything stacked against him in the Democratic primary, even with like debate moderators asking him why he wouldn't bend the knee to Israel, it still didn't make a difference. He won by a huge margin. So, no, please continue going with this line.

In an era where every day more Americans wake up and are [ __ ] sick and tired of listening to American politicians bend the knee to Israel, are sick of hearing about Israel. Every [ __ ] day with Israel, Israel, Israel, every [ __ ] day we have to listen to the whining and the fake accusations. No, please continue to go with this rhetoric. Unbelievable to some, but in watching what's gone on, no one was picking a side. I mean, Eric Adams has turned independent. I don't know. Independents don't win to any huge percentage and degree in this country. So now both these guys have been sidelined. Cuomo if he runs as an independent. Exactly. I mean it just shows you exactly as was saying what a complete disaster the Democratic party generally is in now. And when I hear all these promises from Matt Darnney about um how everything's going to be affordable when the government runs it. I mean, it reminds me of that famous saying about government-run healthcare. If you think healthcare is expensive now, just wait till it's free. Just make sure to not look at literally any country with government-run healthcare where it's much cheaper than in the United States by like a huge degree.

All right. Well, if this is the quality of uh if this is the quality of discourse we're getting from this particular video, they really do hate their constituents, man. How long like do they want this to keep going? You know, like years and years and years and years and years. They're just hoping all of their listeners never look anything up, which to be fair, they never do. Democrani's horrific views exposed. Ziran Mani is a snake oil salesman. Hello, Eric Adams. Really interesting that they put all of this on the second channel. They really did Vospit uh the Mandani talk. That's crazy. You know what? Let let me take a look at what they put out on the main. Okay, so what so clearly they weren't confident enough in these bits to put them on the main. Okay, let me see what they were. This is only this is less than 5 minutes. Okay, we are back with a Fox News alert. Socialist Zoran Mandani declaring victory as the new Democrat nominee for New York City mayor after former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo concedes. Tonight was Assemblyman uh Mandani's night and he put together a great campaign and he touched young people and that's you actually um re just reflexive from this guy you know um [ __ ] Allan Dersuit's coworker ass uh in Mamani's victory speech he acknowledged Cuomo's concession but did not thank him or congratulate him in a well-run campa campaign. It was [ __ ] beautiful. He said, he said, "And Quomo," people started to boo. He held his hand up and I hear Quuomo has conceded to me. Anyway, and then he went on to thank the hell out of um Lander, you know, really inspired them. I called him. I congratulated him. I applaud I applaud him. uh sincerely for his e effort in a speech to supporters andani laying out his vision for the city. We have won because New Yorkers have stood up for a city they can afford. A city where they can do more than just struggle. And it's where the mayor will use their power to reject Donald Trump's fascism to stop mass ICE agents from deporting our neighbors and to govern our city as a model for the Democratic party. The primary now heads to a God, he's so [ __ ] good, dude. He's so [ __ ] good. Rank choice count beginning next Tuesday after no Democrat got the majority of the vote. Carly. All right, Todd, thank you so much. Let's bring in New York City business owner Richie Romero to react. Can't you can't you like pretend like like can't can't you pretend you know what I mean to not always just represent the interests of the capital class like like you would think even for a moment like this is not Fox business. You'd think they would want to like Can't you find like a like a cop from Staten Island or something? I do like how he's wearing a shirt that no person who lives in New York has ever worn. Yeah. Like Yeah. This is this is typically what residents of New York City wear. They wear like the shittiest [ __ ] tourist shirt they could possibly find at Times Square to this.

What was your initial reaction when you heard about this victory? Um, honestly, I didn't sleep because I had to talk a lot of people off ledges last night. Damn. I wish you hadn't. Probably clean up the city a bit. H that were calling me non-stop moving out of New York, etc. Really? What were they saying to you? Uh, they're in fear of, you know, what's going to happen with the economy and everything. You know, I look at it, you know, we got to see what's going on with the general election, but it really comes down to it is we need a mayor that's going to reinvigorate the economy and have just have common sense. And he just doesn't have common sense policies. So, you don't see Manbani as a as a pro-business candidate. And you're not the only one. Take a look at this free press headline. It says he didn't say that. He didn't say he doesn't see Mandani as a pro-business candidate. He said that Mandani lacks common sense. This is so forced, Lau. Yeah, it's just this is what this is. Again, this is the only main channel video they've put out. Decisions are made behind the scenes about stuff like this alongside Trump's late and frankly sauceless response to his victory. Business leaders say they'll flee New York City if Mammy wins. Bill Aman says it only takes a handful of successful people to leave to decimate the city's tax base. Didn't Bill Aman say himself that he wasn't going to leave New York City? That he was just like imagining other people would. Also, if Bill Aman did leave New York City, that would be a good thing because he's horrible. And this is an expost from Florida Governor Ronda Santis who said, "Just when you thought Palm Beach real estate couldn't go any higher, that's his reaction to M Dami being up in the polls uh before he won, which he did." That's your retort. Ha. a socialist one trying to make New York City affordable. The housing prices in my state just went up. Really? That's the remarkably tone-deaf in an era where nobody can nobody can afford to buy a house and you're like that that's your incredible really. Uh, so and this is because MAI right now plans to raise the corporate tax rate from 7% to 11.5%. How does that sound to you? It's awful. What do you think is going to happen? They could everyone could easily relocate now. People aren't Yeah, dude. That's true. No businesses will do business in New York City. Oh, sorry guys. The corporate tax rate is as high as it is in some other states. It's no longer economically feasible to do business in the largest city in the country. in offices. We We need to do a marketing campaign in general in New York just to get the skyscrapers filled with office uh businesses in here. So, who's going to pay for all these things he wants to do with all these freebies? Yeah. Well, I um I love the businesses that you run in New York City. You have a bakery uh that I used to go to all the time and it shut down. Is that because it is so difficult to run a business in New York? Are you [ __ ] kidding me? You don't even currently own a business in New York City? You're a failed business owner? that seriously. This is the [ __ ] prime [ __ ] you brought on. This is this is what you had for us. This is your argument city. It is. And that's one thing that he keeps bringing up, you know, that oh, we could have these dollar stores and do all the things. You can't It's simple economics of supply demand. You can't pay $30 minimum wage and then want to do dollar pizzas and have business run if you in one hour. This guy is barely literate. you genuinely like you're not even the reason why the woman is railroading him and just giving talking points to respond to rather than having a back and forth is because this guy isn't even articulating the points he probably agreed to talk about beforehand. He can't even make the arguments. Yeah, I see why your [ __ ] bagel shop failed. You're illiterate. Did you file the forms properly? You have to sell 30, you know, 30 slices of pizza. You're not paying for it. It's just simple economics. So, I see your I love New York t-shirt. You clearly love New York in this stuff like this Fox News. I It's like It's like an onion sketch. I Please keep running [ __ ] like this. Ple I'm begging you. Keep running with this. Okay, this isn't manufactured consent. It's processed consent. It It's It doesn't feel real. This This does not feel like a real thing that I'm looking at the city. Uh what would you like to see take place? I listen I have very simple thing how to make New York work. It's the biggest problem is like he won mainly through Tik Tok. And you got to realize most people responsibility is makes you mature, not age. And he's letting people just get they want the freebies instead of really wanting to be like a mayor should be like an expediter of dreams and break through. And we have to break all this red tape. What genuinely? What the [ __ ] is he say? I'm I'm actually not jo I don't even understand what point he's trying to make. What is wrong with this person? This person's from Jersey, right? I'm just guessing that based on the shirt and the What? What's this guy's name? Did you get a name from the beginning? Richie Romero, co-owner of Zazzy's Pizza. Co-owner Zazzy's Pizza. 1.2,000 followers on Twitter. Wait, is this his actual account? Is it professional charmer joined March 2009? I think that's I think this is him. I'm pretty I'm pretty sure that's him. He's not active at all. Pizza review by Michael Rapaport. Fantastic. If you're going to do a pizza review, eat the whole slice. Okay. One bite for little manorexic [ __ ] that may or may not bleached their [ __ ] Zazi pizza. [ __ ] great. Let me eat the whole slice and another one. One bite the [ __ ] out of here. I'll do one less cursing. Yo, these meatballs are [ __ ] good. They're They're meatless. There's no meat in them. They're what? They're meatless. Meatless meatballs. What's up, man? What do you mean meatless? They're meatless meatballs. Get the [ __ ] out of here, man. I swear to God, bro. They meat. This is incredible. This is really the guy they brought on to Fox News. Like vegan Caesar Salad. If you look up Zazzy's Pizza on Google Maps, it has like one location open and the rest are permanently closed. Hold on. Yep. Wow. West Village permanently closed. Um, this one is permanently closed and it has one star. Okay, there's this location. This was 4.4. Okay, permanently closed. This one's one star permanently closed. Uh, this one is um 4.1 permanently closed. Is do we have an open one? Do we have a not permanently closed one over here? We have a nondescript unreed uh right over here in uh uh is this Brooklyn? Forgive me, I'm not uh an expert on New York. I've only visited Yeah, that's definitely Brooklyn, right? Yeah, that's it. Oh, wait. And one up here permanently closed. That's great. That's great. Okay. Sorry. I'm just I'm just savoring the the sort of expertise of the one guy they brought on in response to Mumani's overwhelming victory. Uh, sure. Let's just finish the bit that Here we go. This this New Yorker right here. Read the reviews. I don't want to. that's in New York. Like even all the different things from DO people waiting for Khan Ed from DOB and everything they're all on different tech platforms that don't even talk to each other. And the biggest thing that we need is and that's why I'm wearing the I love New York is we need a real marketing campaign for New York. We need trade shows in Javit Center. You got to realize like even the pizza the international pizza conventions in Vegas. We did a restaurant convention. They had it in Javitz. It was only 2500 3,000 people. 50,000 in Chicago. We need that. We need businesses in the tree and uh all the skyscrapers. Well, clearly you're very passionate about this issue. I mean, this is a a stunning swing to the left. Uh after dude, she's not biting anything that he's saying. Literally, every single time it gets pitched back to her, she just goes, "Oh my god, this is [ __ ] this is art." Oh, they couldn't find any other person. They couldn't allocate any more time to the topic after the general election where the country said that they were going more to the right. You were up all night talking people off the left because of this this win. Hopefully you can get some rest because there still is the general election in in November. Richie Romero, thank you so much. Yeah, I'm I'm sure uh I'm sure that'll go somewhere. [ __ ] me, dude. They're gonna pitch Mandani up to have a a second victory. Thank you for having me. All right. I'm Steve Ducey. I'm Brad. I don't care. Okay. So, yeah, that's that's what we've got from the right. You have um Isn't the lack of a big response to Mandi from the right bad though? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's harder to gain national profile if your opponent doesn't play ball. It doesn't matter. Mandani already has an international profile. It's New York City. This it would be one thing if he was like a a congressman, you know, a congressman is just one person in a in a in a group of hundreds, you know? This is the mayor of New York City. They are scared. He's already Yeah. He went on the [ __ ] Tonight Show. The the governor of New York has already acknowledged his victory. I know that, you know, they're just a posting account, but the Democrats on Twitter have congratulated his victory. They're not. There's no future right now for the Democrats outside of this line. Like, this is it. This is the ray of light. You know, he has a national profile and he knows it. Trust me. God, I hope he I I hope he doesn't [ __ ] it up. Look, me, too. But also, who's better suited for the task, right? Jerry Nadler already endorsed Mandani. Hey, bend the [ __ ] knee. Kiss the ring, you stupid pieces of [ __ ] That's what I

Like to see. Yeah, he endorsed Scott Stringer in the uh, in the primary, but you got the endorsement. Okay.

Hey, hey, Democrats, vote blue no matter who. Huh? Adams, maybe Cuomo, they're independent. What happened to vote blue no matter who? Yeah, just put the endorsement in the bag. Mr. Nadler, a Democrat, said Wednesday that Mr. Mandani's apparent victory was a quote seismic election for the Democratic party that I can only compare to Barack Obama's in 2008. That is a good sign, man. That is a good goddamn sign.

Here's Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer tweeted from his [ __ ] personal account because he's still sobbing. Chuck Schumer uh, is so upset that Cuomo didn't win that he almost died. Chuck Schumer hospitalized for dehydration after feeling lightheaded during scorching heatwave. Fake news. He tried to kill himself after Mandani won. Almost. Yeah, I know. I know. He was the guy getting talked off a ledge. We're so [ __ ] back, man. Yep. Dehydrated from crying so much. Chuck Schumer will also bend the knee. I've known Mandani since we worked together to provide debt relief for thousands of beleaguered taxi drivers and fought to stop a fracked gas plant in Astoria. He ran an impressive campaign that connected with New Yorkers about affordability, fairness, and opportunity. It is significant that even people like Schumer feel the need, like they don't think they can ignore it. You can't ignore it. It's such a nothing tweet though. Oh yeah, he he typed it through tears of course, but I just, they are scared right now. The only real response that I have seen, the only meaningful counter that I have seen from the right especially is just Islamophobia. And I don't think it's going to be enough. I don't think it's going to be enough.

Unironically, the fact that New York can get 911 and then, you know, 24 years later elect a socialist Muslim mayor is a sign of uh, New York City at its absolute best. The the idea that it is a a shining city, a beacon on the hill uh uh uh, to which any can come and uh, where anything is possible. That is America. Brad Lander did a good job encouraging Democrats to fall in line. We'll talk about that next, but let me let me put this one in the bag. Okay.

How long till we see true rat [ __ ] against mom Donnie? Don't preempt failure. Okay. Do you cross every single crosswalk thinking, "How many times can I do this before I get hit?" No. Keep your head held high. Yes. That sounds like an anxiety disorder. You shouldn't You shouldn't be that worried about stuff.

What's a good title? Mandani's victory has terrified the right. Mandani's win has terrified the right. The right is pet terrified of Mandani. Probably the right is terrified of Mandani. Yeah. Dude, I really like this. Isn't this such a cute? I think it's from Red Rabbit uh Trading Co. I normally prefer gold to silver, but for Western stuff, silver is pretty much the way to go in my opinion. Pessimism is great because you can't be disappointed, only happily surprised. That's actually like that's total cope. That's actually not true at all in reality because if you're pessimistic, you're just miserable all the time. Like that like that's just a co that's actually a coping mechanism, you know? like you're you're just pregaming disappointment forever. That's like saying, well, you know, uh never making any friends is better than making friends because at least if you never make any friends, you can't be let down by those people who would maybe become your friends. Like it's it's just like losers mentality. Yeah, man. Better to be pessimistic all the time. H as if that's what losers think. Unknown anomaly. Thank you for the [ __ ] wild dono.

Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Okay, we got a lot of donos to read, but we're not there yet. We're not there yet. We got [ __ ] to do. We got [ __ ] to see. We got uh piss to pee. We got [ __ ] to poop. And we got piss to pee. Yes, sir. Just put the tips in the bag. Brad Lander or my new best friend Brad Lander who will be reborn as a lotus flower. Yesterday was really remarkable. You're right. There has been in New York in some ways ever since the pand this quality is terrible absolutely terrible 240p huh you know what the audio is what matters and certainly since Trump's election a real it's kind of a dark time you got Trump in office you have Eric Adams corruption you have Andrew Cuomo running this campaign like the city's in crisis and meanwhile Zaran Mamani runs this very hopeful campaign he and I then crossendors in an unusual way that rank choice voting makes possible. Some people said, "We love the idea of politics as more of a team sport for the future of our city than as the selfish uh politics that Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams have played. And yesterday, voters all over came out in this really hopeful spirit that said, "We want a New York City that everyone can afford and where everyone belongs." Um, and I hope Democrats around the country are inspired by it. There are certainly Democrats who will be looking at this and wondering what it could mean for them. I wonder if you think that should be Democratic Party leaders like New York Senator and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. What do you think he should be thinking about today? Well, look, I mean, Zoran Mandani has won the Democratic primary. You're right. We have to see the rank choice tabulations, but Andrew Cuomo conceded. Everybody knows it. Uh, Democrats now should come together behind the Democratic nominee. And we'll help I love this because it's a weaponization of the rhetoric that Democrats have beat us over the heads over the head with for years and years. But this time, unlike those times, he's referring to an actual popular mandate, not the entire [ __ ] deep state uniting to push Biden to the front of the candidacy list. You know the like this is what we heard with Biden after the media did everything in their power to make Biden the default choice. Okay. But nobody made M Donnie the default choice. He had to fight and claw his way up the hill to win. And now it's time for you to bow down and you to unify behind the unity candidate. Help him win in November. Okay. And also you're aware conservatives are seeing opportunity here. Actually, President Trump just posted about the race. No, they're not. Actually, and I and I mean this sincerely, this is collaborationist rhetoric. Don't act as though Mandani is a weakness for the Democrats. The Democrats are a weakness for the Democrats. Mani is your one strength. Okay? The the Democrats are a scrawny offbullying weak a bullied weakling who finally after scrambling in the dirt after getting the [ __ ] kicked out of him for 45 minutes has found a dagger in some bushes and he pulls out the dagger and the bullies all go, "Oh, you got a little knife." And your thought here in this situation is, "Look, they're making fun of the knife. You have made yourself weaker before them. Toss the knife. Don't be stupid. Yeah, they're going to focus on Mamani. They can't ignore him, so rally behind him." Uh and and he said it it's in part it's finally happened. The Democrats have crossed the line. Zoramani, a 100% communist communist lunatic has just won the Dem primary and is on his way to becoming mayor. Um as you know, of course. And Wow, that sounds like Yep. They really they really uh uh found the weak point in the armor there, huh? that I I like just a weakness opened up. You're you're kidding me. Trump calling a Democrat a deranged commie. That's if only Mandani hadn't won, maybe we could have finally avoided we we we could have been clear of this accusation. We're noting here there are more steps uh uh ahead of us here. But what is your response to that? Well, first I love that Zoran Mandani is in Donald Trump's head. Uh in that same tweet, Trump calls uh Senator Schumer a Palestinian. like they're going to lie whatever we do. What I think this election shows, what last night's election shows is people are hungry for a hopeful vision and they're hungry for fighters. I'll be honest, I don't think the line for the party right now is between progressives and moderates. I think it's between fighters and folders. People want someone who's going to go to bat for working people. paint a real vision uh of a city people could afford, fight for it and uh and get on the field. And that's what I think Zoron did. I was proud. This is true, by the way. Like genuinely, I really think the difference between socialists and moderate liberals is much less significant than the difference between uh people who can do and people who cannot. um like the the the line right now because sitting on the back benches will be both [ __ ] establishment liberals and do nothing socialists who sit on Twitter and whine about everything, you know, like they're both going to be there doing nothing. They get to play in the losers ball pit filled with piss, you know, out there actually doing things. If you're a moderate, I don't [ __ ] care. You know, your mental illnesses are your problems, okay? fall in line and don't get it, you know, make a fuss when Mani tries to make the world better against your better instincts. Your job is to help where you can to be a part of that with our cross endorsement and that's what I think Democrats need to do in New York City and really all across the country. He has proposed. I I love Lander, man. The aftershocks of last night's political earthquake in New York City are still reverberating. Let's see how CNN's doing. throughout New York and well beyond 33-year-old state assemblyman Zoron Mandani effect is a potential road map to success in New York in a primary context but they're trying to figure out now well how do we apply this to more purple areas that uh they need to win in order to be a successful national party again and there's no easy answer to that because there's a debate here is it Mani's progressive policies lots of centrists say no that's not though AOC and Bernie Sanders will tell you that is exactly part of the women winning formula or is it that a young person appeal to young voters? policy. It's not it's not even policy that matters like fundamentally. It's about the energy to fight back which Democrats lack completely because it's it's just inathema to neoliberals. Liberals used to be able to fight back against fascism. That's why World War II played out the way it did. Seriously, like there were liberal It's crazy to think about today, but liberals as a political class used to actually get in like street fights over issues from like women's suffrage to uh the availability of food and grocery stores to union rights to like the like people who proudly called themselves liberals, right? Because liberalism is a a a very influential like ideological umbrella that contains within it a lot of things that you and I agree on, right? You know, suffrage, uh, liberation, egalitarianism, even if it doesn't often succeed in achieving these things. Uh, nowadays though, liberals aren't defined by their ability to fight. They're uniquely weak, especially compared to fascists who you'd think the would be the liberals's natural enemy, but clearly no. In an authentic way, can he, you know, come through with with some of these promises that he wants in a very expensive city? I would add two things to what David said. One is I think you cannot ignore there was a big anti- Andrew Cromo vote. People do not like him. Um and and we we saw that on display. And then just the question of New York versus national, there are two very highprofile governor's races. Your home state, New Jersey, uh Mickey Cheryl in Virginia, Abigail Spamberger. These are centrists who look Oh, so they want Manny to fail. CNN. Yes. Uh we are going to consume CNN in uh great quantities, though not, I'm afraid. uh this segment because I don't care for its tone. I want to see the arguments. Why? Because Mamani is going to be attacked from every angle and we need to be very very smart and very aware in how we defend them. Don't act on doubt. Don't second guessess. You need to be twice as self- assured as the stupidest Trump supporter you know. Okay? Because Trump is a billionaire backed by billionaires. Mandani is a guy backed by you. You do not have the luxury of capital inertia backing up your opinions. You have to be the inertia yourself. The results are coming in in what could be a real time referendum on the future of the Democratic party. Many analysts see New York City's mayoral race as a litmus test between establishment Democrats and the younger, more progressive wing of the party. CNN's chief data analyst, Harry Anton, is with us at the table now. Harry. Woo! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Yeah. Okay, tell us where we are right now. I mean, look, Mandani is ahead by plenty at this point. You can see on your screen right there, that's a seven-point lead right now um in terms of the first round votes. Obviously, New York uses a rank choice rank choice voting system where essentially you eliminate all the candidates. You reallocate their ballots because the folks who get a ballot will rank their candidates one through five and you essentially reallocate the votes until one candidate gets at least 50%. But I will tell you this, if you look on your screen, you see the third place candidate, Brad Lander, co-endors or co- crossendorsed with Mandani. Most of his votes are very likely to go to Mandani. And not a single pre-election poll that I saw had Cuomo getting anywhere near the type of support that he would need once those ballots reallocated. That lead will almost certainly h stand up. And that is why I do believe that Cuomo has conceded the Democratic nomination. Has called Mumani to concede, which is extraordinary. Let me tell you this. I study New York City politics in my entire life. The only New York City primary that I think is tantamount to this in terms of the earthquake is 1989 when David Dinkens came in and defeated 1989. Who says it like that? Ed Cotch who is running for a fourth term for mayor. That is the type of earthquake that we're seeing here and he's done it. He came into this race down what 30 40 points to Andrew Cuomo the former governor who everyone thought was a huge favorite. Apparently not. He did it by activating younger voters, by activating very liberal voters, by cutting into Andrew Cuomo's base with black voters. The bottom line is this. Mandani is now a force to be reckoned with in Democratic politics nationwide going forward. Joy, you talked to him to on No, Friday. Friday. We had him on on the show on Friday. We also had Brad Lander on and Brad Lander talked about being tackled by ICE agents as he was trying to defend immigrants. Uh what M Donnie said that I thought was really extraordinary. He would be the first immigrant mayor of the preeminent immigrant capital um in the United States, a city that is a sanctuary city where people are still being accosted at their at their immigration hearings. So I think just symbolically I think this is a message about people's re revulsion um in the treatment of immigrants by this administration and about the uh the ways in which the Adams administration has been complicit in that play from your interview with him where he talks about this. Let's listen. You know I would be the first immigrant mayor of this city in generations and I would be proud to be that but even prouder for what I would actually do. This is a city of immigrants. We've said for so long, 40% of New Yorkers were born outside of this country. And yet, what we've seen in the current mayoral administration and even in Andrew Cuomo's campaign is an insufficient readiness to actually take on Donald Trump and protect New Yorkers. One of the things we should be proudest of in New York City are our sanctuary city laws. These are laws that have kept New Yorkers safe for decades, been defended by Republicans and Democrats alike for that time period until the demagoguery of this current mayor. I would proudly stand up for those laws. So he's talking there also about Eric Adams who we haven't really talked about. Everyone be patient. By the way, it's important to this for this groundwork to be laid because eventually the opinions start flying out because he's not in this primary but is expected to run on another line in the general. This will be an indictment on Eric Adams, too, and his willingness to, I guess, in the words of Mum Donnie, stand up to Donald Trump. There's no one happier b after mom Donnie and his family than Eric Adams tonight because everyone over 50 years old who remembers Time Square in the 1970s and the 1980s where you you couldn't walk through. It was all pornography and crack and and muggings and rapes and robberies was the inexplicable trans pride flag uh tie. Don't really know. A little in Congress there, but everyone who remembers that is going to vote for Eric Adams. The New York Times, who didn't do an endorsement, did say, "Please don't vote for Mom Donnie, as did the Daily News, as did the New York Post." So, anybody who knows how bad New York can get, all came out against Mom Donnie, because a 33year-old with zero experience running anything except a little office with five employees, and not be running the city of New York. Donald Trump is president of the United States. His experience was being on the apprentice. He's got the head of the Pentagon experience. weekend on a weekend anchor on Foxy. Are you kidding me? He's got Oz is in his administration. Dr. Oz, you're leaving out something. He's a 33-year-old socialist who's never run a popsicle stand. He's literally in city government right now. Sorry. But by the way, I consider this also a massive losing argument um for the establishment both from the right and the left. How are you going to go after Mandani for inexperience when nobody represents anymore? Trump won. Nobody [ __ ] cares, okay? Nobody gives a [ __ ] Nobody thinks the government is like a sacred uh uh uh like, you know, honorable um occupation that can only be held by people who have like law degrees from Harvard anymore. Nobody believes this [ __ ] Nobody [ __ ] cares. Okay? There are tons of of Democratic representatives with law degrees from Harvard who have like 10% approval rating. Okay? Nobody cares anymore. If like if this is what they're going after him again, win for Manny Donald Trump. I'm sorry. After Donald Trump and his pinky and the brain administration, no one ever gets to talk about qualifications. Socialism will not The bottom line is what I want to ask you a question. What is your evidence that Mumani would return New York City to the 1970s hellhole time square? What is your evidence of that? It's very simple. So, he wants to raise taxes on people who make the most money. What eventually is going to happen is you're going to lose that tax base. Once you lose that tax base, I think that when we take over, it should be illegal to talk about capital flight anymore. Um, it should be it just should be illegal. What if you apply this argument to everything else? Like, you can't make rape illegal. If you do that, all the rapists will leave the state and go to another state. Honestly, they probably did talk about that when when they were when when pe when people in England were first like cooking up the idea of making rape illegal in a book or something. They were probably like, "Dude, they're like I like I know good rapists. They're going to like leave to go to the Duchy of Vickenberg or something, you know? They're not going to stay here." Say, "All right, our bonds will get degraded. Now the city the city budget will not be substantial enough to to subsidize not only the cops, but the fire department, the sanitation department. Once you start losing Wall Street and people who pay 112,000 a month to live on the Upper East Side, you're done. Let me let me let me ask you and you go back to the 70s when Gerald Ford said to New York drop dead. Okay. But hold on hold on but Arthur just just as somebody who is just listening to you their argument concedes that it's a race to the bottom and that the solution is to raise taxes everywhere. Yes. No, that is true. Yeah. 100%. You need like this is what I meant yesterday when I was rambling about like the global capitalist spiderweb. um you you you need like a global system to crack down on uh uh the movement of capital because otherwise everything just pools in the area with the most slaves and the lowest taxes. Um, you raise the taxes on wealthy people in this city, maybe a couple percent, right? We already% Yeah, they're already 53%. And that's exactly my point. They're already paying some of the high I know. I know Arthur, but Arthur, they are already paying right at this moment some of the highest taxes in the country. And you think that one or 2% is

Going to cause a mass exodus out of New York? And you just said it already has started. I just want to be clear that that's what you're saying because I think that seems pretty extraordinary because he's also not going to focus on crime. Right now you have police commissioner Tish and John Shell, the chief of the department. Crime in the state, in the city of New York right now, is set to break all records as the lowest. Oh, it's the lowest. Okay. Ever in recorded history for shootings and murders. Once that starts going up in the other direction and the tax base is gone and sanitation is gone and schools are gone.

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Last thing. Hold on. The last thing I will say and then I'll let you in. The last thing I'll say and then I'll let you in. Uh, under Eric Adams, crime, if uh uh spending on police correlates to lowered crime, then why does America have so much higher crime than Norway even though we spend like dozens of times more per capita on our police? Maybe not dozens, that's an overstatement. Far more, though.

Out of curiosity, did go up in the city and it went down. Yes. That was during the pandemic and migrants. Exactly. But but I'm just being clear, crime has already gone up in New York and it has come down. So even when crime went up in New York, there was perhaps some departure, but there was not a collapse of the tax base in New York City. Okay, Anna, go ahead.

Okay, so I am not—Is this guy capable of not shouting? No, he doesn't actually believe the stuff that he's saying. This guy, I'm not so sure about this one with the little [ __ ] dorky suit, but this guy is paid to sit here and loudly argue with black women. That is his job. He is always like this. It doesn't matter what the topic is, he is always wrong. Um, it's like crossfire stuff, basically. It's not it's it's it's just meant to lower the quality of discourse. The problem is is that if you have a panel uh where you discuss the issues uh and everyone there is is trying to be like impartial, the left will win every time. So, in order to balance out the fact that the right is wrong, like just by default, uh, you need to have loud retards who are paid to say stupid [ __ ] and they have to be loud to compensate for the lack of an argument.

Exactly. New Yorker, I live in Miami where we don't have a 50% uh tax rate. Um, already we have we have our share of insane elections and insane politicians. But this reminded me, you talked about the Dinkens election. To me, this reminded me of of the AOC versus John Joe Crowley election where there was this establishment sacred cow who thought these people think it's because ethnic homogeneity. Yeah. But London also has a much much much lower like violent crime rate per capita than like like pretty much anywhere in America, right? And London is super [ __ ] multi-racial. So, if the argument is like, well, it's because New York City has more black people or whatever. Like, no. London has a lot of non-white people.

It is difficult to crunch data on police spending and also on crime between countries cuz countries record crime differently. But homicides are pretty easy to keep track of cuz they're, you know, we all have basically the same definition of when a person dies violently, more or less. It's easy to compare that at least. Um, same with same with Paris, right? Same with Berlin, you know, and look, it's just I I know he doesn't believe what he's saying. What I want to see is what are the attacks Mani is going to endure. And as a warrior from Mammdani, okay, you also need to be ready. That by because of his name and because of his pockets, he could walk into it. And there was a young upstart who put a lot of uh leather and you know a lot of a lot of footwork and and boots on the ground and boots on the ground and did it. And so you know I I would say when it comes to it is true that mom Donnie is one of the few young reps I have seen who consistently wears um leather dress shoes and not shitty dress sneakers. And I at least in part attribute his victory to this.

New York, do not underestimate the sweat of these. And by the way, he won. I'm not under—I would just say this and I would not have voted for—if you were saying that Eric Adams is the person who's this loves this result the second most compared to after Montani. He'll be the anti-Man. But I will say this, the people who hate this result the most of a Democratic establishment. We have seen poll after poll after poll showing Democratic voters fed up with their leaders in Washington, fed up with their leaders in government. And all of a sudden, Andrew Cuomo, who 5 years ago was leading those COVID, you know, press conferences, was this guy who was held up in such high esteem and now all of a sudden the best he can do is what 372% of Democrats% of Democrats say that they're Republicans had the Tea Party. This is the Chai Party taking over the Democrats. And I run campaigns for Republicans all over the country. If—What do you mean by that? The Chai Party taking over for the Democrats. Out of curiosity, what do you mean by that exactly? Would you mind explaining that one? They turned to 33. He he does look like a 1930s race scientist. So, if nothing else, he's kind of like he's repping the aesthetic. Socialist who never run popsicle stands. That's great for us. We'll win a lot of elections. So, can somebody explain this to me now? [ __ ] was uh yeah, Democrats run unqualified candidates. We Republicans have never done that. Now will get to win the New York City mayorship. What the [ __ ] are you talking about? So this could end up—so Cuomo could end up running as an independent. Adams ends up as an independent and then this guy—in other words—in other words—also yeah—the double popsicle stand reference. It gives me the ick. Come up with a new line. Bow ties opinions. Unless you're trying to look like a dorky professor, I think that bow ties are best left to um evening wear like a like a tuxedo. But if you're wearing a tuxedo jacket, please God, do not wear a long tie.

Breaking overnight, a major upset in New York City's Democratic primary for mayor. 33-year-old state assemblyman Zoran Mdani is now poised to win after former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who was considered the front runner in the race, conceded. I will fight for a city that works for you, that is affordable for you, that is safe for you. I will work to be a mayor you will be proud to call your own. And it is a big moment. Important to note that Mamani did not reach the 50% threshold of the vote though. So the race will be decided by rank choice votes uh officially starting July 1st as CNN projects. I want to bring in CNN's Gloria Pasmino who joins me now. Okay. Uh for those just tuning in, how did this upset happen? What happens? Uh we're we're doing an election breakdown here. Okay. Give me to the panel. Okay. We're doing we're doing up analysis right now and I I mean it. Thanks for being here. I wanted to talk about this because it is um even uh the strikes in Israel and how to talk about Israel came up in this New York race and it's also a moment where you have a Democratic socialist who's come to the four. I don't know one who wants to take this first but what's your initial reaction?

Sure. Well, first of all, candidate quality clearly matters and this is one high-quality candidate and he spoke to issues that the base voters of the Democratic party next to a former governor. I mean this is a guy who knows how to ride sleep. I mean, everybody watching this was wondering where he was on the stump, where his mom Mandani was everywhere, right? He was very energetic. Also, Cuomo like resigned in disgrace after some extremely high-profile uh scandals, very uh effective at messaging, spoke to core issues that people care about. When it comes to Israel and Jewish issues though, he did freak out to be um be be um you know a little little loose in the words about it. But he freaked out the Jewish voters in New York and there's a lot of concerns that he's hostile to Israel and there are a lot of concerns that he's going to sort of look the other way when Jewish New Yorkers feel threatened. And I think he's going to have to address those a lot more directly. He skated around that quite a bit.

No, I think he addressed it directly every time it came up, which was all the time. I Dude, sorry. People are sick of hearing about Israel. Your strategy lost, man. It's over. No one [ __ ] cares. No one Nobody believes that you're anti-Semitic because you don't like the uh pedophile haven child-bombing ethnostate 10,000 miles away. Nobody care. Listen, you just shouldn't like Israel like as a human. Just human morality-wise, by default, you shouldn't like Israel. It has nothing to do with Jewish people. The loudest and most obnoxious Zionists in this country are Christians.

There's so many elements here because on the one hand you have a 33-year-old Democratic socialist and it feels like this is an AOC Bernie Sanders young movement wing of the Democratic party and and she did support him. So absolutely is it going to have does it say anything about our national politics and I think that's where why we are sitting here talking about it. Is he going to become um a lightning rod that Republicans nationally are going to say this is the Democratic party and can de—Republicans use that in the midterms? And then on the other hand, the Republicans at no point have managed to build any real power around the fact that AOC won. They never have. They have insulted AOC, but if they didn't have AOC to insult, any other Democrat would have been their AOC. They lie all the time. There's they literally you could you could run Lenon and he would win and it wouldn't change. He would get called a socialist just as much as the rest of them. He's called Schumer a Palestinian. He's called Kla Harris and uh Biden communists. It literally doesn't matter. Stop buying into the propaganda, the fake [ __ ] the idea that uh uh uh uh uh this is effective. AOC is more popular than almost any Republican official overwhelmingly so. And I think there is the candidate quality issue. You have Eric Adams extremely compromised now running as an independent. Cuomo very compromised over the sexual harassment problems. And this young vibrant candidate who walked the length of Manhattan and is not compromised basically is the bar. It's not those two. Let me bring for the last moment. It's compromised because you know essentially New York is the largest Jewish city in in the world bigger than Jerusalem bigger than Tel Aviv more Jews in New York City than either of those cities maybe even combined. So Mandani does have a problem moving forward there. But on the issue of candidate why a lot of those Jews voted for Mamani.

Mom Dani, why? What problem? What problem? Quality. Yes, very clearly Andrew Cuomo had a lot of personal issues, but what was the reason for him to run? What was his real campaign message? It seemed that the only reason he was a candidate was cuz he wanted back in. Joining me now to talk more, Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Dingle of Michigan. Thank you for being here this morning. Great to be with you. Um, one of the reasons why I'm excited to talk to you is because you are a leader in the congressive uh the Congression Progressive uh caucus and this is a moment where you have a Democratic socialist who has kind of moved to the forefront where establishment Democrats had backed Cuomo. Why do you think those establishment Democrats were backing Cuomo and was that a misread of the room so to speak? So I the only thing they seem to have is claiming Mani is anti-Semitic or implying it which I find even more frustrating. At least the people outright claiming it like make a statement. But the people who are like Mamani will have difficulty winning over the Jewish New Yorkers. Why? Tell me why. Is it because those Jewish New Yorkers are Islamophobic? In which case they're the bad ones. What do you like? What you're—Yeah, you're being so [ __ ] weasly. This is one of the things that I've been saying for years. You're starting to hear more people say it. You will recall that I predicted that Hillary Clinton was going to lose in 216 and was the bad girl of the Democratic party and the Debbie Downer. And unfortunately, I was right. The what I noticed about these two candidates, one was out, one was about, they were talking with people, they were using new forms of media, they were using podcasts, social media, and Governor Cuomo ran a very traditional consultant ad, used paid paid media, and you didn't see him out and about. So, while I do think some of his ideas are exciting, people are worried about, let's be clear, people are worried about the cost of living. They're worried about caregiving. They're worried about they can have a job. They can find affordable housing. They, you know, all those issues were there and he talked about them. I people, I'm afraid, are going to try to turn this into, you know, what does this mean? I think it shows that Democrats have got to start getting out and listening to people. Is this a New York win or can you see more candidates like this um gaining traction around the country? I think that what we have to look at is how he campaigned and the issues that he talked about and his ability to meet with a lot of people. Right. He was talking about free buses, talking about the problem, and this is something the liberals need to internalize as well, is that Cuomo never could run Mamani's campaign because Mamani's campaign and Mani's energy is built on a belief that the world can be better. And Cuomo's campaign is and always would be built on the resignation to the point that it can't be. And that's it. There's no way around that. You can never ever ever—The closest the Democrats have ever come to capturing the energy with no substance was Obama. And Obama did very well. But that was in the before times. That was—Obama won his first election almost 20 years ago. Nobody's falling for that again. You know why he did? Because it was after two terms of Bush and because back then you could say hope and change and people would believe you. But nowadays people have policies on the mind. Nowadays people ask you specific questions. Nowadays, people have, you know, whether it's uh Medicare for all or housing prices or the, you know, Israel's [ __ ] constant waring in the in the Middle East or whatever else, you have specific answers to give. And what would Obama—what does Obama give to those questions nowadays in his post-presidential period? He hems and he haws. Uh well, you see, uh uh the American people do not u—we have many opinions on these questions. Seriously, have you seen him? He always, let me be clear, uh, disappears. Yeah, he doesn't have decisive answers to these questions because he's not a decisive candidate. He doesn't believe in anything. He believes only in the fact that he's smarter than you, which statistically speaking is probably true. He's a bright guy, but that doesn't make him good. And it certainly didn't make him a good leader. That [ __ ] ain't working again. And this—I'm sorry it took me a while to find it, but like yeah, the your your time is is up on the bullying progressives with the uh this this elucory anti-semitism uh of of criticizing Israel. Okay, nobody [ __ ] likes Israel. For young Republicans now, half of them unfavorable of Israel. For Democrats, both young and old range around 2/3. You you're not—it's not—and every year it passes it more and more with time it shifts in this direction. Israel will never be sympathetic to Americans because they are fundamentally unsympathetic. So what are you going to do about him? Are you going to bend the knee raising rents? Affordability is what we need to be talking about. Some people are going to try to pin it. Oh, he's a communist. He's—I—what he is is talking to people about what they care about and he's talking to people. He's out and about. It's what I'm trying to encourage in my Democratic caucus. I want every member of the Democratic caucus to walk into a union hall or go to a meeting with union workers.

Well, I do agree with that. CNN, keep it up. 33-year-old state assemblyman Zoran Mdani, born 1991, delivering a major upset in the New York City mayoral primary last night. A contest that some are saying could forecast the future of the broader Democratic party. President Trump weighing in on Mandani's expected victory just within the past hour, slamming him as a quote 100% communist lunatic and warning that quote Democrats have crossed the line. A self-described Democratic socialist, Mum Donnie poised to beat former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who had been backed by prominent figures in the party's establishment after running on a platform that he says should serve as a model for the National Democratic Party. Zoron Mandani's rise, though, was fueled by a massive presence on social media that clipped in many cases performances like this one. I have never had to resign in disgrace. I have never cut Medicaid. I have never stolen hundreds of millions of dollars from the MTA. I have neverounded the 13 women who credibly accused me of sexual harassment. I have never sued for their gynecological records. And I have never done those things because I am not you, Mr. Cuomo. And furthermore, the name is Mom Dani. M A M D A N I. Remember the part right after that where he cut himself off because he was very clearly about to say, "And you better get it right because I'm going to be your mayor." But then he decided he decided that would be like a little bit too cute. So he was like because it's important to get it right. You know what I mean? Like he he he was thinking like how how hard do I want to commit, you know? Wow. David Axel Rod. That was a spanking right there. Uh I mean candidates matter, I guess. What What do you take away? I think that exchange went viral. And when they say candidates matter, they're not wrong. But they are trying to pin this on Cuomo being a uniquely bad candidate. In reality, Cuomo was a shoein for victory. Mdani fought those odds. No other candidate would have even come close to Cuomo's numbers. Yeah, he's a bad candidate. He's he's the Democratic establishment. You're all bad candidates. Really big way. And it in some ways encapsulated the dynamic of this race because Andrew Cuomo got into this race uh to try and come back from being uh forced out of the governorship from you know from being disgraced by what happened uh and this was his but there was always this sense that he you know wasn't all that interested uh and uh and when he attacked uh you know it's a fair point to ask mom mom Dani about his experience but he just opened himself up to that and it reminded people that he was the past and that it was time to move on and I think that was part of the dynamic that governed this race. What do you think this means big picture? Like how much should we be taking away from what we've seen here? I think there are things we should take away and there are things that we shouldn't. I mean winning a Democratic primary in New York is different than winning a a primary somewhere else or an election somewhere else. But there are certain things that I think do travel. One is the issue of affordability is one that that you can feel in every district. If Mandani didn't exist, do you think Cuomo would win or would it be Lander Blake or someone? If Mandani had not run, Lander would have won because the deep state wouldn't have tagged Cuomo in. The deep state understood that Mandani was going to beat out Lander. Uh but they um they thought Cuomo could beat him. If Cuomo had been tapped in and Mamani just never ran in, like they just brought Cuomo in for for the fun of it, he would have beaten anyone else, anyone else, any other campaign. Name recognition and familiarity would have been it. Incumbency wins overwhelmingly in the absence of an incredibly well-organized campaign which only Mandani delivered. No hate to Lander. We love Lander, but Mani's in a league of his own in this country. And that is why he ultimately won because he owned that issue. He drove it in a really really effective way. Uh, and I think the the New Yorkers who voted for him were very much moved by it. I also think there's a message in here about young people. He brought young

People out in a way that we haven't seen in a long time. Are we doing the Dave State thing ironically or unironically? Unironically. I'm talking about money interests within the Democratic party. It's especially prominent in New York because, again, New York Democrats are the worst Democrats in the nation by a huge margin.

You know, um, I mean, you could talk about Schumer here or whatever, but like, or it's it's fundamentally it's about money. It's not a secret conspiracy. It's just like it's all open, like the the money, the interest groups and the PACs, like none of it's none of it's behind closed doors. We wikied one literally yesterday. That woman, that idiot who dropped into that CBS interview, uh, who was one of the most important women in New York City and her job was just representing business people, and she was clearly like totally out of her depth talking about it, but she was still distressed at the idea of a socialist winning. That's what I mean. I'm not talking about like a secret cabal of people. These are by and large lucky idiots, um, freaks, losers, uh, who just happen to have an enormous amount of power. It's the same as an aristocracy, right? Like an aristocracy is not made up of unusually talented people. In fact, they might be like pretty dumb, you know? That doesn't make them any less powerful.

Time. They had a Palunteer ad in the interview. Oh, yeah. They literally had a Palunteer ad in the background of the CBS interview. That's true. It was on one of the [ __ ] display screens back there. Yeah. And and and when I say deep state, like I really do think these people tagged Cuomo in. Cuomo fully represents them. He runs, he gets tens of millions, record-breaking amounts of money in super PACs from businesses and very wealthy, very evil people. Openly evil. None of it's a secret. You just Google these people and it's like, "Oh, wow." For the past 30 years, they've just been in favor of evil. They're stupid. They're loud. They're uh arrogant. And they just keep like over and over they just keep uh uh uh getting what they want because they're incredibly powerful.

What exactly makes them evil? Well, uh, anti-progressive opposition to labor rights, the squelching of progressivism within the Democratic party. A lot of them are pedophiles. A lot of them have Epstein associations. A lot of them are just powerful business people. Everything that entails. I mean, capital accumulation kind of, I mean, to an extent that's kind of like its own game. I mean, just like everything, literally like everything. Just look like any of them up. Look up Bill Aman. Look up Dershowitz. Look up Cuomo. Just Google them. Literally, just like look at their Wikipedia page, you know.

So, they only selected Cuomo because of Mani. I think that. Yeah, I do think that. I think that uh uh they tapped Cuomo in because they didn't want Mandani to win. And I think it it it would have worked if Mandani was not really really good at what he does. Dershowitz is the lawyer for Israel. Uh, yeah, he was Epstein's lawyer, too. He's the pedophile friend of Epstein, the lawyer who defended Epstein and helped keep him from a a longer and worse sentence. And also OJ's lawyer and also, yes, friends with Netanyahu. Cuomo is also a lawyer for Netanyahu. And I think there is a message from young voters in this country that the same old same old. The status quo isn't working. You know, I said yesterday when I was on this show, 25% of the early voters had never voted in a primary before and many of them were young uh because they felt like they argued for lowering the age of consent. No, I believe Dershowitz did argue for lowering the age of consent. I could be misremembering, but I believe so. He was genuinely addressing their concerns. As in he's currently their lawyer. Yes, Cuomo is currently on a legal team to defend Netanyahu against war crime charges from the International Criminal Court. In case you were wondering like how obviously these people are all in bed with each other. Affordability being at the top of the list with proposals that we can debate, but at least they seem tangible. They weren't the same old political jargon. Uh, and I think there's a lesson in that as well.

So, you are a longtime political hack, right? Sometimes everyone should listen. Sure. Brad does, too. One of the things about this race that fascinates me as a political reporter and I'm curious what you think, you know, Cuomo seemed to run a very traditional uh, you know, TV media, you know, paid. Oh yeah, sorry, the Vox article. Alan Dershowitz helped sex offender Jeffrey Epstein get a plea deal. Now he's tweeting about age of consent laws. I'm going to continue to speak out until the day I die, the Harvard law professor told Vox. We know. So yeah, when I say deep state, like I'm really just talking about obviously evil, stupid, loud, rich pedophiles who all know each other. It's not secret. It's not a conspiracy. It's all open. You can, it's on Wikipedia. It's not like, this is why the right and the left's definition of deep state. And I'm only co-opting the term deep state because it so perfectly describes what we're talking about here. Like conspiracy theorists on the right want it to be, well, of course they want it to be Jews, when it's not. Um, it's made up of many many people. The deep state, if you refer to like the upper crust of capital interest, extends across the entire world and represents every racial, ethnic and religious group in existence, or I imagine most of them. Maybe there's some tiny religious groups that haven't been in on the, may I don't know if there are any Kurdish members of the deep state. I'll have to get back to you. Okay. I don't know if there are any Sikhs up there. I I have to get back to you. Okay. The Rastafarians may or may not be in the upper echelon. Maybe there's one guy. I don't know. The Amish. Yeah. What about the Amish? You know, I don't know. Um, maybe maybe just one. But uh the the the the the right wants it to be like a super creepy cabal, like a secret group of hyper competent evil people. In reality, it's an open non-cabal of usually like pretty stupid people. You don't have to be smart to rule the world. Look at Elon, dude. You just have to have a lot of money. How do you get a lot of money? Get get lucky. Just get lucky. Do venture capital [ __ ] Get lucky. Get in Bitcoin early. Who the [ __ ] cares, man? Have none of these people are smart. Peter Thiel isn't smart. Look at him talk. Uh uh uh what? Curtis Yarvin. That guy's a [ __ ] idiot. Have you seen them talk? None of these people are smart, man. Smart people are too self-conscious to do the kind of [ __ ] that ends you like it ends up getting you the aristocracy. We are well past the era of like meritocracy. Okay. If we ever were in one, we are not in it now. Lol.

You don't think Peter Thiel is smart? No. Have you seen him talk? Absolutely not. He's just an evil freak. His ideas are sophomoric. I was having conversations the [ __ ] he talks about in his his gay little TED talks. I was talking [ __ ] like that in high school. Not cuz I'm smart, mind you, but because it's banal pseudo uh philosophy. It It's nothing. He's deranged. Okay, sorry. We're really getting away from the topic here, which is um which is Mandani's shooters. You know, Warren Buffett is smart, which is why he's like autistic. He just plays with his train set. Media based campaign. Um, in my personal life, I make a point to filter out that kind of stuff in my own personal Instagram and other accounts. Mom Donnie was all over. Like, I learned about Mom Donnie from my own personal from friends and from that ecosystem. Do you think that one of Cuomo's big failures was not doing it that way? I think every aspect of his campaign was yesterday, honestly. And and and and Ashley really Ashley lives in this world of social media. Uh, talk about that. Dreadfully. Yeah. No, no, no. But talk about the techniques that he used, which I think were a lot of it has to do with the the the messenger. Yeah. Because he's utterly authentic. Well, I don't even think if Cuomo actually ran the ca tried to run the campaign that Mum Donnie did, he could have because he could. He is not a translatable candidate on social media. You had great clips that were engaging seeing him on the subway. Like, does Cuomo even live in New York City is the question. To to be on the subway. Is the last time Cuomo took the subway? Exactly. To actually get somewhere, right? And so people who ride the subway, they know the the good and the bad of the subway. And so he, so far, I actually like this analysis. But then he had other people conveying his message also. People who didn't look like him, people who weren't of the same faith as him, people who weren't of the in the same economic class of his. I think the the lesson that I am learning for this is and I want Democrats to listen hard and it's like why was Andrew Cuomo actually even the option for Democrats to be choosing against in that tagged was rebuked by many Democrats that eventually came out and endorsed him which is is compromising and young people notice that.

Oh yeah, that's another big point of evidence to my like borderline conspiracism. The fact that so many establishment New York Democrats uh kicked out Cuomo in disgrace and then sheepishly endorsed him when he came back years later in his mayoral race. Why would they do that unless there was some pressure from behind the scenes? Why else would they do that? There's no, come on. Yeah, Bill Clinton does not step down from his [ __ ] pedophile throne to talk with Cuomo and endorse him. Uh, unless there's some serious behind-the-scenes chatter about how Mum Donnie can't win. Yeah. All hands on deck. Exactly. It feels inauthentic. And the whole November election, we went back and forth and you told me everything was too expensive. So, we had a candidate talking about everything being too expensive. And guess what? He won. Look at that. But you're right. That slipper only fits Cinderella, and and he's Cinderella in this case. But I think that this election matters to Democrats, not in New York, but in other places around the country. Cuz this morning in congressional districts all over, left-wing Froot Loops woke up and said, "Why not me?" And so they're going to run as candidates against their incumbent Democrat Congress, member of Congress in primaries. They're going to run in open seats. I've seen this. Oh, this is fantastic. Thank you very much, Alec. List of Democrats who initially condemned um uh um Cuomo but then stepped back up to uh to endorse him for this: Richie Torres, Greg Meeks, Congress member, State Senator Joseph Abato, US Rep. Tom Suozzi, Jessica Ramos, we all know that one. State Senator James Sanders Jr. Why would they feel the need to do this unless there was pressure behind the scenes? Assemblyman Stacey Pheffer Amato, Assembly Member William Colton, former Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. and and this is only the explicit endorsements. What about the implicit endorsements of people who refused to comment on Cuomo's presence in the race even though they were shouting at Cuomo back when he left the governorship? US Rep. Adriano Espaillat, probably Espaillat, assembly member Charles F. Jesus Christ, this goes on for a while. Okay, hold on. We're getting off track again. Oh my god. This movie before Republicans. We had this problem in a few loops of your own. Yeah, but you know what else is ranked choice voting actually is another thing that really mattered and and this campaign did a strategic job of having people cross-endorse particularly on like the the Lander and and Mandani uh cross-endorsement because there were some questions about being vulnerable with Jewish voters and that endorsement mattered and that was a strategic political operative aggressive approach that actually was, can I tell you I I woke up this morning and you will appreciate this. Not to date you in any way, but but I woke up this morning and this and and this Bob Dylan lyric was in my head. Come senators, congressman, please heed the call. Don't stand in the doorway. Don't block up the hall. For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled. The battle outside rage in will soon shake your windows and rattle your walls for the times they are changing. That's what young people in this town were saying. We're tired. You want you want to get a few more verses out of the same kind of brain-dead politics, the hypocrisy and so on and they expressed themselves in this election yesterday.

Could I just add though that what happened in New York, I think in some places in this country it will be similar, but in a lot of places it won't. Andrew Cuomo was not, it's polite to say he was a flawed candidate. And Mani was energetic, charismatic, out there working hard. But if you go just next door to New York to New Jersey where Mickey Sherrill is running, if you go to Virginia where Abigail Spanberger, those are two centrist Democrats likely to win their races. There is one thing I would like to play also this uh you know Cuomo worked to make this an issue in the race, but also many uh Jewish people who live in New York have raised questions about Mandani. And this is a a clip of an interview that he did uh with Tim Miller over at the Bulwark where he was pressed about the phrase globalize the intifada, which has become something that has come up in these pro-Palestine protests. I want to play how Mandani answered that question. Take a look. Has it has it come up in these pro-Palestinian protests or is it just like a phrase you heard one time? Who brought up these concerns? Jewish New Yorkers. Cuz my understanding was that it was like the Democratic establishment, sometimes Jewish people in the establishment, but I I don't really think that was coming from Jewish New Yorkers. The phrase globalize from the river to the sea. Does that make you comfortable or do you think, okay, those are different. Those are super different genres. I'm sorry, I'm asking Zolan. Then they're not really different to me and to some people they're not different. You know, I I I know people for whom those things mean very different things. Um and and to me ultimately what I hear in so many is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights. So this is part, okay, part of why Ashley was underscoring that the alliance between Mumani and uh Lander was so important because it inoculated in some ways some of these criticisms. But David Axelrod uh you know globalized the Intifada is viewed as a call to violence uh against Jewish people and this is the most Jewish city in the world has that same implication. Listen, I've said it before, I'm the I'm the son of a Jewish refugee. I feel really I I was devastated by what happened on October 7th. I also weep for the children of Gaza. Okay. I want to know that he weeps for the the people who were brutalized and sexually assaulted and murdered and kidnapped on October 7th. He has said that he has he's never ever ever said or even implied that he endorsed what Hamas did in October 7th. Like we're still doing the have you condemned Hamas thing and uh that you know there is an understanding that there you know that that rights are should be pervasive that respect for human dignity should be pervasive um and so I think he's going to need to communicate that to uh Jews and and non-Jews in this city. He has he has done this. It's it's not um also I don't think he should have to like communicate that by default like what because he's Muslim and progressive he and doesn't like the genocidal pedophile haven ethnostate he needs to like go out and say everyone just to let you all know I am not in favor of killing civilians. Why why should he have to do that? Wouldn't it make more sense to wait to see if he says anything like he supports Hamas and killing civilians and then condemn him for that? Why do we have to do the [ __ ] preemptive disavowal? This is a big problem for Democrats. They've increasingly got out of the lane uh where the center of this country is. I mean, Democrats, Harry Truman is one that recognized Israel's statehood. Democrats have [ __ ] [ __ ] with the uh the yellow ribbon on his uh jacket. This it's not Democrats getting out of step with where the country is. Democrats, the voter base are not sympathetic to Israel. This is ridiculous. Long held an advantage. Bill Clinton did, Barack Obama did. We have the long line here. I'm not saying that the mayor of New York or the presumptive mayor of New York is going to drive the entire party. But it is a thing that if I were a Democrat strategist, I would be paying attention to how do we fix our anti-semitic, anti-Zionist position. People don't have to agree. Ridiculous. Wait, is this the same guy as the CNN panel that we looked at earlier? The race scientist. He's wearing the same brown suit jacket. It is okay. He's wearing I think different glasses, which is why maybe he isn't. Maybe I'm just with everything that this guy says. And I think that's one thing that we have to recognize and and if and and if you feel strongly on this issue, then repudiate him for saying it. But he also has the opportunity to to express himself on this in a way that might allay some concern and and he has been asked in many other iterations where he is condemning anti-semitism and I think actions will speak louder and he talked about how he was going to be a mayor for all of New York. I'm not going to lie, I actually did expect more freak behavior from CNN over this. I feel like I feel like so far today has been pretty encouraging. It seems like Republicans don't know what to say about him and Democrats don't know what to say about him. They don't know what to say. They're kind of like taken aback. They're stunned. Falling in line. No, they're not falling in line. Not yet. But it is encouraging. This is a more anti-Mandani CNN video. Well, is it after the election or before the election? We already saw this one here. CNBC. What's the tone? Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, can someone's here. That's why I said this. Someone who has run for office who knows the the how sharp the elbows. This is CNBC though. What are they going to do? [ __ ] complain about Wall Street not getting their fair share. Michelle Cruer is here to talk about Mani um being the guy after Cuomo basically conceded uh to uh to this gentleman and um state assemblyman. He no candidate except to secure a majority in the first round of the city's rank choice election. Uh but last night he did uh lead the vote count and he had as we're finding out 44% in a million votes. The biggest it was very heavy turnout. Very heavy turnout. The the we have betting sites now. So nothing's a surprise anymore, right? Because he moved ahead in those and in some of the polls. So I still, well, that's high IQ analysis right off the like right out the gate. Thought it might not happen. Um, so, so last night I don't live here, so it's not so the the results aren't official yet, but basically last night a socialist won the Democratic primary in New York City. And generally in states or cities where you have one party that dominates the politics of a city or a state, whoever wins the primary generally goes on to win the general election. So right now, the betting markets have that a socialist will be the next mayor of New York City, win the November election. That's Zolan Mandani. You see him there uh in the video. He is an avowed socialist. When he first won his assembly seat uh back in the summer of 2020, the New York Times tweeted, they were tweets back then, said there's a new progressive representing Astoria, Queens, which is the part of New York City that he is from or is living in. And he tweeted back at them and said, "Stop calling me a progressive. I'm a socialist." And back then he was running on defund the police, global. Well, that's this time around. You know what that is exactly? Oh, I think he knows exactly what it is. Sure. So, we want October 7th type things to happen here and in your studio. Well, um, yeah. I mean, these people are going to be openly antagonistic because they're just like they're they're they're just business analysts, right? To to m I heard somebody this morning, I think it was the managing editor of Bloomberg saying that um he business goons has reached out to Jewish leaders in New York City that he wants to work with them. How does anyone not act like this and instantly lose legitimacy there? It's it's business news. Like this.

Has always been what they're like. They're horribly right-wing because having money makes you evil. It's always been like that. Sorry. That's just that's just where that's how the cards fall.

Listen, I live in reality. Okay. You can live in fantasy land where people's opinions are detached from their material conditions, their moral, you know, uh uh positions. And I'll I'll live here in reality where like every single time a bunch of people get together and say we're going to represent the interests of the wealthy, they're just evil. But I don't know. Nobody [ __ ] cares, man. Nobody watches CNBC for like political analysis. Does calling him anti-Semitic actually do anything? I think that his results last night show that it doesn't. I don't know. I'm feeling pretty [ __ ] good right now. Is that wrong? Is it wrong to feel good? The answer is no. It's good to feel good. We got to be out here for Mani. Warriors for Mdani.

What about people like Bernie who have money but are openly against corporations? What about reflexive contrarians who understand a point but want to get my attention successfully, mind you, anyway, by ineptly arguing against it? You know, there are a lot of exceptions to every system. There are exceptions. What about the droid attacks on the Wookies? Colorful boxes on the shelf. What are those? Tissue boxes. One second. Let me send this one over to the editor, too. Then we can continue. One day I'll get faster at doing this. I'll be able to talk while doing it. Very difficult. Don't want to click on the wrong thing. [ __ ] upload the files to my documents folder. And then Ryan gets mad at me. He's like, "Where the [ __ ] where the [ __ ] are the documents? Where's Dibio?" Thanks, Tempest. I miss when you played video games.

Richard Fallus. Richard Fallus. That's too many times I've noticed you. That's too many times I've noticed you in the past few days. It's a lot of a lot of caps locking you're doing when you chat here. Is that like your Homestuck typing quirk? Do you replace E with threes? I'mma be honest. Might be too pessimistic, but I have a feeling they'll try to kill M Donnie. Don't be a [ __ ] You're fixating on negativity because you're so unused to good things happening that um you're you're reflexively trying to grasp you're you're trying to grab on to something um that uh that that will legitimize your pre-existing negative feelings. Okay. Mandani's place in the kingdom of heaven is secured. Let's just make sure that he gets as much as he can done while he's down here with the uh with the material folk, okay? Down here in purgatory. Don't worry so much. It's a possibility. Everything is Everything on Earth is a possibility. Okay. All right.

I suppose we should take a look at some nonmani news. I see that the right is freaking out over the leaked intelligence report that we did not in fact obliterate the Iranian nuclear program. There's some great statements just came out from the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission and from uh Iran, as you know, that it was complete total destruction. Trump crashed out. Is this him crashing out? Is this the crash out you're referring to? And uh CNN turned out to be fake news as always. That's why they have no credibility. That's why they have no viewers. But we're gonna read it to you if you haven't seen it. Have you seen it, Jeff? Yes, sir. Have you seen it? Okay. Pretty good. Very unfair to the pilots that risk their lives for our country and then they get fake news. New York Times and CNN make up a phony story to get some uh hits. That's the only reason I cared about it because those pilots were so brave. I've never seen anything like it. They flew into the hornets' nest and then they got uh hurt so badly by what the fake news wrote and it was CNN. It was a New York Times and they're both disgusting disgusting really horrible groups of people. Uh the pilots did an unbelievable job like nobody's ever seen. They hit pay dirt. You see where the I guess you probably look they call it the wound. You see where the wound is on the earth and three of them right next to each other. Perfect. and they should be admired and respected for what they did and the fake news uh in order to try and hit me the fake news made them look bad but now they look really good again. So that was the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission and it was also about the High Commission of Iran just said it was totally demolished. Yeah.

Uh yeah. I don't know man. I really do feel like their strategy going forward is just going to be to keep Trump from knowing that the program wasn't obliterated so that he doesn't I I I I don't know. I have no idea what they're going to do with this. You know what is this? Trump demands that Israel drop all court proceedings against great wartime Prime Minister Netanyahu. Oh, okay. I think I have a narrative for this. I think I can square this circle. Okay. So, my guess is that Netanyahu thought he'd be able to prompt war with Iran to keep his prime ministership going um uh uh because he needs to maintain the conflict to justify his leadership in the war cabinet. However, Trump really wants to be the guy who ended the 12-day war. And Trump has probably been pretty insistent on back channels that if this fighting kicks up again, he's going to be really pissed off. I mean, do you remember do you remember the video clip from the other day? You remember this one? Thank you, Annie. Agreement. Do you believe that Iran is still committed to you? We have we basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the [ __ ] they're doing. Do you understand that? He's actually extremely mad, like uncharacteristically so. Probably because he was like he was given a bunch of, you know, pep talking about how he's going to be the great president who ended the 12-day war, the big dealmaker, everyone's going to remember him, history books, etc. Um, and then when it was clear Iran and Israel had no intention of honoring this fake ceasefire, he got really pissy about it. He Yeah, he wants the branding on lock. So, knowing that Donald Trump is actually really committed to keeping the 12-day war ceasefire thing going, somebody had a talk with Trump and said, "Hey, you know, I don't know what what do you think they would have said to Trump? Do you think they just would have flatly said Netanyahu needed that war to not get impeached and now there's no war? What is he supposed to do? Or do you think they literally do you think they prodded Trump and they were like, "Hey, radical leftists in Israel want to prosecute Netanyahu for be doing such a good job fighting. Isn't that crazy?" And then he just tweeted this. It might actually be that again. Like it's difficult to underestimate Trump.

Breaking news. I was shocked to hear that the state of Israel, which has just had one of its greatest moments in history and is strongly led by BB Netanyahu, is continuing its ridiculous witch hunt against their great wartime prime minister. BB and I went through hell together fighting a very tough and brilliant longtime enemy of Israel, Iran. And BB could not have been better sharp. Okay. I I I think that he wants to imagine himself as uh Roosevelt and like Netanyahu as Churchill or something. There's like a narrative in his head that he's trying to preserve desperately that would be marred by reality like by by by the fact that the war wasn't really a war. It was just like an exchange of missile fire by the fact that the nuclear weapons hadn't actually been or the the nuclear refinement facilities hadn't really been obliterated by the fact that uh Netanyahu is very unpopular in Israel. BB could not have been better, sharper, or stronger in his love for the incredible Holy Land. Anybody else would have suffered losses, embarrassment, and chaos. BB Netanyahu was a warrior like perhaps no other warrior in the history of Israel. And the Well, I I feel like they wrote about some big ones, or maybe not big, little ones. Maybe maybe Trump is based and he uh only thinks of Israel in like the modern political like statehood sense. And the result was something that nobody thought was possible. A complete elimination of potentially one of the biggest and most powerful nuclear weapons anywhere in the world. And it was going to happen soon. We were Dude, I What? Okay, seriously though, what the [ __ ] are they going to do when it becomes clear that Iran is still refining uranium? Look at how many videos there are on Fox News trying to get ahead of this. Trump says Iran's nuclear program set back decades. Trump confronts fake news CNN at NATO summit. So, this is presumably when CNN asks uh Please go ahead. Go ahead. He is like dark orange here. Oh, fake news CNN. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Here we go. Wait till you hear this question. Thank you. You should really say how great our soldiers and our warriors are. I think everyone appreciates our soldiers and our warriors. I I do have two questions for you, Mr. President. You just cited Israeli intelligence um on these attacks. Earlier you said US intelligence was inconclusive. Are you relying on Israeli intelligence for your assessment of the impact of the strikes? No, this is also Iran made the statement and it's also if you read the document that was given that Pete can talk about if you'd like, the document said it could be very severe damage. The audio on these microphones is really uncanny. Huh. It's like um it's it it really makes it feel like they're just in a elevator talking to each other. But they didn't take that. They said it could be limited or it could be very severe. They really didn't know other than to say it could be limited or it could be very very severe and you didn't choose to put that because it was very early after. Since then we've collected additional intelligence. We've also spoken to people have seen the site and the site is the site is obliterated and we think everything nuclear is down there. They didn't take it out. Okay. Question please. Go ahead. Go ahead. Yeah. blue dress. Thank you so much, Mr. President. Yesterday you said China can now continue to purchase oil from Iran. Yeah. are okay has described President Putin as an adversary because you know in the last few weeks these are other unrelated questions the okay there was a leaked American intelligence report that Republicans have been very pissy about um that uh uh essentially like verified the claim that the Iranian enrichment program has only been set back by months. It has not been obliterated. So, how did this ceasefire deal between warhead governments? And I'm not going to get into anything that's top secret, but let me tell you for sure what happened here. There were three there are three distinct facilities in Iran that we were concerned with. Isvahan, which is a conversion facility. You cannot weaponize unless you have arms go toment and you can't end enrichment in a successful. Nobody wants that. I think the best way to deal with it now is if we can get back to the negotiating table. What is Sorry, sorry, sorry. I I I guess like there there are a lot of videos on this though. Trump says Iran's nuclear program was set back decades. Um confront fake news CNN. Overwhelming evidence General Keen on Iran's nuclear program. Levit, leaker of intel report should go to jail. Peter Ducey, FBI investigating Iran intel leak to CNN, New York Times. Levit slams CNN's fake news about leaked Iran strike intel. No coincidence. They're they're trying to blame it and CNN's defending themselves. They're basically saying like because CNN had this information leaked to them, CNN is an enemy of the state, you know. Thank you both. Good have been um is that the strikes have set back Iran's nuclear I said also posting in effect Peter four hours ago of investig is investigating about how punished I understand the FBI is investigating who was the source of that leak because it's an illegal leak to CNN what kind of consequence could the leaker face they should go to jail jail time and the White House is hinting that They think the leak came from Capitol Hill because we are also now told the White House is going to start limiting the classified information that they share with lawmakers as a Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Good luck with that. Nothing gets through this administration uh without it leaking, dude. Good luck with that. The White House press secretary Caroline Lever for more on all of this. So the president really went off in the HEG in his news conference on reporting that these strikes may not have done the job here in uh in Iran at the Ford nuclear facility and others as well. Is she doing like a new lip thing? Why the [ __ ] is she mewing at me? Why is she doing that? He also took aim at the outlets that were reporting this. Listen here. They said it could be limited or it could be very severe. They really didn't know other than to say it could be limited or it could be very very severe and you didn't choose to put that because it was very early after. Since then we've collected additional intelligence. We've also spoken to people have seen the site and the site the site is obliterated and we think everything nuclear is down there. They didn't take it out. So this was a report from the DIA that Fox has confirmed. it was quote preliminary and expressed low confidence in the findings and yet it was all over the news yesterday. It was all the headlines yesterday. What do you say in response? That's right, John. And President Trump is absolutely right and he returns to Washington today after a historic NATO summit where he has gotten our NATO allies to finally pay their fair share thanks to his strong leadership on the world stage. And I'd like to take a step back and just acknowledge the history that has been made in the course of the last week thanks to President Trump's strength. 5 days ago, the rogue Iranian regime possessed the capability to create a nuclear weapon that threatened the United States, the state of Israel, and the entire world. And presidents for decades have said dating back to Bill Clinton that Iran cannot possess a nuclear weapon. And because of the decisive leadership of President Trump and the skill and the excellence of our United States military, that imminent threat to the United States and the world. What's even the rationale for making this classified? Because Trump really wants this to be a 12-day war. If Iran still has the ability to enrich uranium, that would immediately reignite the justification. There is no world in which Republicans go, "Oh, never mind. They still have a bunch of like enriched uranium, but the war is over." So, I guess that was that. like we already, you know, it it [ __ ] up everything. So, they need to do everything they can to like maintain this essentially. Yeah, this is the original uh report from CNN. It was exclusive to CNN, so they were the ones who initially got the leaked report. Um, essentially arguing like, yeah, the damage was not anywhere near as significant as the administration is making it out to be, but also like you can't hide this forever, man. Eventually, Iran's going to start like They're going to start nuke posting again, man. They're going to nuke post. Why wouldn't they? It's not like they're going to stop. Why the [ __ ] would they stop? World has been demolished because of the successful operation on Saturday night. And not only that, but within the span of 48 hours, President Trump was able to turn around and negotiate a successful ceasefire between Israel. Why is she talking like this? She doesn't normally talk like this. Has she She doesn't normally talk like this or look like this. Is there like um Is this like a surgery thing? Why? Why? Why is she mewing? Why is she shouting at me? Why do her lips look like that? What's happening? What the [ __ ] Chill the [ __ ] out? Is it drugs? Body double? Oh, and Iran ending this war after just 12 days. No other president in history could have ever dreamed of such a success. And that's exactly why the fake news media is now trying to demean and undermine the president. And we've seen this playbook be run before. You have hostile actors within the intelligence community who lick illegally leak bits and pieces of an intelligence assessment to push a fake news narrative. And that's what the CNN story was yesterday. And it's not a coincidence that it was written by the exact same CNN reporter who wrote the original story falsely alleging that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. Holy [ __ ] dude. They never let anything go years and years ago. The American public are smarter than this and they should know the truth. President Trump completely and totally obliterated the the cap capability of Iran to produce a nuclear weapon and the world is safer today because of his historic efforts. This narrative is going to last like 5 days, dude. It's so transparently false. Yeah. Like I genuinely do not know what they're going to do with this one because this isn't like there are lots of narratives that they can push against reality because once it comes out they're lying. There are no consequences. But in this case, if it becomes clear that Iran is still enriching uranium, guess who's going to [ __ ] missile strike Iran? Israel. Netanyahu is not going to give up the the opportunity. Like there's no way. So like this this is guaranteed to collapse. This is 100% guaranteed to blow up in their face, even in a way that negatively affects them. Trump will have a meltdown on live TV when he finds out this whole thing is fake. So, I guess that's what this [ __ ] truth social post is about. Somebody gave Trump just enough. Somebody let Trump in on the fact that Netanyahu has been unpopular for years and has char has had charges against him for years and and he typed all this out like they're trying to like find a way to like convince Netanyahu he doesn't need to strike Iran even if Iran is still enriching uranium because the charges won't matter anyway. You realize that's what this is for, right? They're giving Trump this information to signal to Netanyahu that Netanyahu doesn't need to engage in military aggression against Iran, even when it becomes public knowledge that Iran is still enriching uranium because Netanyahu won't need to continue the war effort in order to justify his own.

What a mess. What a mess. This is crazy. We were fighting literally for the survival of Israel and there is nobody in Israel's history that fought harder or more competently than BB Netanyahu. Despite all this, I just learned that BB has been summoned to court on Monday for the continuation of this long running. He's been going through this horror show since May of 2020. Unheard of. This is the first time a sitting Israeli prime minister has ever been on trial. He he literally just learned about this. He actually he lit it's not a joke. Trump literally, it's been five years and he literally just heard of this. He just heard about this politically motivated case concerning cigars, a Bugs Bunny doll, and numerous other unfair charges. I guess that's just quoting the person who gave him this info in order to do him great harm. Such a witch hunt for a man who's given so much is unthinkable to me. He deserves much better than this, and so does the state of Israel. BB Netanyahu's trial should be cancelled immediately or a pardon given to a great hero who has done so much for the state. Doesn't work that way. Perhaps there is no one that I know who could have worked in better harmony with the president of the United States, me, than BB Netanyahu. It was the United States of America that saved Israel, and now it is going to be the United States of America that saves BB Netanyahu. This travesty of justice cannot be allowed. Yeah, I guess Trump pardons Netanyahu or something type [ __ ] I don't [ __ ] know. This is such a mess.

At that news conference in the HEG, the defense secretary, Pete Hegath, went off on whoever leaked this and the media outlets that gobbled it up. Listen to what he said. To spin it for their own political reasons to try to hurt President Trump or our country. They don't care what the troops think. They don't care what the world thinks. They want to spin it to try to make him look bad based on a leak. Of course, we've all seen plenty of leakers. And what do leakers do? They have agendas. And what do they do? Do they share the whole information or just the part that they want to introduce? Uh Israel's atomic energy commission had a completely different assessment of what happened at Fordo in the times than this preliminary low confidence assessment did. It said that the site was completely destroyed, that the nuclear program has been set back for years. I don't know if you saw it, but last hour we had former IAEA weapons

Inspector David Albright, on who said much the same thing. Well, Secretary Hegsth is absolutely right. This was a low-confidence preliminary intelligence assessment. The assessment itself said that it was not corroborated by anyone else in the intelligence community.

And it has been disputed by not just the United States—the president, the secretary of defense, the secretary of state, our joint chiefs, and our General Kaine, who was incredibly successful in this mission on Saturday night. It was also disputed by both Israel and Iran. And CNN didn't… What about um… what about the American intelligence community? Like our spy satellites and um… like the CIA, you know, the people whose job it is… like that those are… this is… that’s what those agencies are for. You control them. Uh… that’s who… Why would you ask generals whether or not you succeeded in destroying a target? Do you think that the ability to like command soldiers translates into surveillance of the battle? That’s the job of the intelligence department.

If the information propagated by CNN was false, why would it be illegal to distribute the information? It is… it… there’s no way around this. If this… Oh, not… not this one. If th… this one… if this report was not true, they would not be so angry about it. That’s that simple. They’re just trying to keep… they’re just trying to convince Trump this report isn’t true. Like when uh… uh… Steven Miller very transparently tried to convince Trump that they had not been violating a Supreme Court order to bring Kilar Abrego Garcia back; that in fact the order said that they were fine to leave him there. Like it’s like… they would not be freaking out, talking about prosecuting the leaker, talking about like fake news, CNN, talking about it at the NATO summit, talking about it on Fox News, the president, everyone. They would not be rushing to dispute this if it wasn’t true. Even the DoD is posting COPE. Our pilots are warriors. Our sailors are warriors. Our soldiers are warriors. Operation Midnight Hammer was flawless and effective. It really is a humiliation ritual, man. It’s [ __ ]… It’s [ __ ] crazy. I can’t believe I live here. The founding father… I’m not a founding father poster, you know that. But like there is a limit, man. Them asses are rolling in their [ __ ] graves. Don’t believe the fake news. Our warriors achieved their objective.

Do you really think that they would issue a rapid response acknowledgement of the strike um… that includes a denunciation of the leak if the leak wasn’t true? Why else would you even mention it? Why would you give it air? They’re doing all of this to protect Trump from the truth. Didn’t care about that. The DIA themselves have now come out and said this was a preliminary report and this CNN story got it completely wrong. But that reporter is a sheep and she’s a mouthpiece for people who don’t like Donald Trump. And they… she only gave the White House an hour to respond. And that’s again the same playbook we’ve seen the fake news media play time and time again. But this story has now been debunked widely by not just the United States, but also Iran and Israel as well.

All right. So there’s… there’s the issue of reporting what was leaked, but then there’s the idea of the leak itself. This was classified information. Here’s what Steve Witco said about the leak: “Leaking that type of information, whatever the information, whatever side it comes out on is outrageous. It’s uh… it’s treasonous.” So yeah, man. This is just… this is how you react to false information… be investigated. There’s no doubt that it was obliterated. So the… the report… listen, it was obliterated. Okay. Okay. Trump. So don’t talk about anymore. Okay. Out there… that… that… that in some ways suggests that we did not achieve the… achieve the objective is just completely preposterous. So Steve Wickoff says—and he’s right in the middle of all of this and all these negotiations—said that this leak should be investigated. Will it be? I am told by the FBI the leak already is being investigated and it absolutely should be because this was a top secret intelligence analysis that very few people in the United States government had access to see. And so I… I thought it was fake. So like… was it a preliminary intelligence report that got leaked or was it fake? Cuz like… cuz if… if it was a preliminary intelligence report and that actually was top secret, that means it was produced by the intelligence agency. Like we have good intelligence agencies. We… we have very expensive satellites. Like okay… this is… dude… this is going to blow up in their face so [ __ ] much. Like… what… what are they going to do when… like a month from now uh… more and more reporters are catching on to this and they’re like reporting like… hey… looks like we have more evidence of additional refinement or whatever… what are we going to do… what’s your plan long term… understand the FBI and the department of justice are already on this as they should be and just to emphasize what our great special envoy Whit said last night… for people with common sense… everyone knows what happens when you drop 14 30,000-pound bombs perfectly on their targets. It doesn’t take an intelligence analysis to understand that means complete and total destruction… like… like absolutely remarkable. If the… the bombs were big, then it’s done. God, the viewers are so stupid. I really do think this is like a level of low IQ authoritarianism that rivals any other in the world. I actually think like Russia is a more sophisticated and intelligently run authoritarian government by miles than the… this is like incredibly embarrassing. Seriously, this is the… the line we’re going with. The bombs were big. How could it have possibly failed?

So, what you’re telling me is that you don’t have any intelligence to contradict the preliminary report that leaked an obliteration. And the president of the United States, because of his decisive leadership in directing that operation on Saturday night, has now achieved a goal that the United States and the whole world has wanted to achieve for years. And that’s the obliteration of the capability of the Iranian regime to possess a nuclear weapon.

So there’s one other question that… that remains out there, Caroline, and that’s uh… what happened to the nuclear material enriched to 60% that Iran already had in its possession? It’s said to be about 900 lb worth, enough for a number of bombs. The president believes that it was buried in one of those enrichment facilities. The director of the IAEA isn’t so sure. Do you have evidence that you know exactly where it is? I can tell you the United States had no indication that that enriched uranium was moved prior to the strikes, as I also saw falsely reported. But as for what’s on the ground right now, it’s… it’s buried under miles and miles of rubble because of the success of these strikes on Saturday evening. So anyone for one… miles for two… really we don’t need to know where it is cuz it’s like super… super… duper… duper blown up. Carolyn Levit, you’re smarter than this. I don’t think you’re stupid. I think you’re just shockingly evil. Is this really the best you could come up with? Like… She’s not smart. No, I have… I believe that she is. I know that she gives a lot of signifiers of not being smart, but I think she’s very smart. Um… Yeah. Is she just panicking? Is it… Is this actually like… like panicking? Um… I… like you’re already lying. Why not just say… “Following intelligence reports have confirmed the complete annihilation of the nuclear material. The um… initial report is completely false and baseless and it’s ridiculous that we’re even talking about this.” Wouldn’t that make more sense? Just that right there… that’s not lying any more than any other lie. Like she’s lying more than the lie I just did, but the lie I just did would be way the [ __ ] less obviously fake. I… I don’t know. I… I’m… I’m actually a bit like dumbfounded by this one. I’m not joking. I’m not trying to play this up for like uh… um… the bit or… or… or the segment or whatever. I genuinely don’t know what the long-term strategy is on keeping Trump from realizing that they didn’t do anything. Saying that they know… just doesn’t know. And what we do know is the capability of these weapons uh… and the… the success of this strike and the fact that the United States military hit their targets precisely, perfectly, and accurately. And we know what that means. Well, again, David Albright, who’s done this for a long time, knows what he’s looking at, thinks that those bombs went down near ventilation shafts where uh… the rock would have been less resistant than if he had just hit it out in the open. And he firmly believes that those centrifuge halls have been destroyed. So, we’ll see. Caroline Levit, always great to catch up with you. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Thanks, Don. I… I… I just… I don’t know what the long-term strategy is here. I’m so curious as to how this is going to play out. Oh, there’s the five talking about Mdani, but they don’t want to say his name. They don’t want to say his name here. I’m sorry. I know I’m lingering on this topic a little more than I normally would because I’ve kind of already like made my point, but I… I really am like baffled by this one because remember how angry Trump was when he felt like his beautiful 12-day ceasefire was being threatened by Israel bombing Iran. How do you think he’s going to act when he finds out this one? Or are they going to drop the information to him in a way… like they’ll keep him more calm?

We begin with this Fox News alert: President Trump just… ratt’s nuclear program might only be… of the strikes… each one… Senior White House correspondent Peter Ducey is near the Hague in Netherlands with more. Peter Harris. We can now report the FBI is investigating the leak of that defense intelligence agency assessment that shows with low confidence the Iranian nuclear program was only set back by a number of months. We’re also hearing from the Israeli side. They are saying that they believe their intel uh… shows that the Iranian nuclear program was rendered inoperable. Iran’s foreign minister says the program was badly damaged. And President Trump just explained what he has seen that leads him to believe that none of the enriched uranium actually left Fortell before the strikes. Okay. No, we just… the opposite. We think we hit him so hard and so fast they didn’t get to move. And if you knew about that material, it’s very hard and very dangerous to move. It’s called… it’s called uh… in many people they call it dust, but it’s very… very heavy. It’s very… very hard to move. And they were way down. You know, they’re… It’s a few hundred pounds of enriched uranium. What? Like it’s obviously not a big rock because it’s being put through centrifuges. So it’s in this like… Yeah. The… what the cake or like the… like you could… you can move it… that they have trucks in Iran. President Trump is also backing off his suggestion aboard Air Force One that he could soon abandon NATO’s Article 5, the rule that requires all members to defend any member that gets attacked. And he thinks that after his strikes on Saturday and the fragile ceasefire that was negotiated afterwards that there can be peace between Iran and Israel; they’re not going to be fighting each other. They’ve had it. They’ve had a big fight… like two kids in a schoolyard. You know… they fight like hell. You can’t stop… Oh [ __ ]… You know that episode of Spongebob where Squidward thinks Spongebob has eaten a bomb and the whole… he tried to give him the best day ever and he doesn’t know how to tell him. I feel like that’s… like eventually somebody’s going to have to have a conversation with Trump because otherwise this information is going to come to him in the form of a CNN reporter and that will not make him happy. Stop him. Let him fight for about two, three minutes, then it’s easy to stop him. And then daddy has to sometimes use strong language to get… strong language. Every once in a while, you have to use a certain word. And President Trump is now comparing the strikes that he ordered on Saturday in Iran to the strikes the US carried out in World War II over Hiroshima and Nagasaki because… Yeah, cuz he… cuz he… Yeah, cuz he wants to… because he thinks he’s Roosevelt because… Yeah. Isn’t it [ __ ] crazy that like… Yeah… Trump would have been born right after World War II ended. Oh, Truman. Truman. Yeah. Well, no, he… Yes, Truman ordered the bombs, but he probably wants to think of himself as Roosevelt. Actually, no. Who was it who messaged Trump and said, “You are like Truman?” Who was the guy who uh… uh… uh… uh… [ __ ] texted Trump and was like, “Uh, you know, God has given you the glorious Huckabe.” That’s right. Yeah. God has given you the opportunity… like Truman… to make this decision. And so on. Yeah, he’s… he’s carrying through with that. Yeah, I guess he does want to be Truman. Truman’s an interesting guy. He sees all three of them as ending a war in different ways. Harris, Peter Ducey, thank you very much.

Republican Senator Ted Cruz of the great state of Texas, member of the Foreign Relations Committee. Great to see you today on an important day for the country, for the president with a lot of victories. First of all, let’s start with the NATO summit and what pops to you as a huge moment. Well, listen, I think the president had… no meeting… Look, saying significant damage… could take them years to rebound, that sort of thing. When you look at all of that and you hear about this leak—and that’s where we started—um… what does that tell you behind the scenes in this country? What’s going on? Look, the leak itself, I don’t know the motivations behind that leak. I find the leak highly dubious. At the end of the day, we dropped a total of 14 bunker buster bombs. Each one of those is 30,000 pounds of explosives. They do devastating damage. They’re the… they’re the biggest… biggest non-nuclear bombs we have. And… and… and that effect on the face of it is going to be devastating. They were precise. They hit their targets and… and not… Have you not gotten the message? The message is that subsequent intel reports have discredited the original leaked one. So, you’re also doing the… like, well, the bombs were big, so it must have worked thing. [ __ ] man. I don’t know what they’re going to do. It’s crazy. They clearly… Not only that, we had about 25 tomahawk missiles as well. That combination by almost any measure would do devastating damage. Now, I’ll tell you in the Senate, we were supposed to have a classified briefing yesterday on… on… on the precise readout of the attack. That… that briefing got moved to later this week. So, I have not… Yeah, it is true that they have been delaying um… uh… briefing the Senate Intel Committee uh… on… on what took place in Iran. Like there have been… what… two delays now? Was it just one? Because Schumer was complaining about one the other day. So, I think… I think they’ve delayed it multiple times, which is not reassuring. Not yet attended the classified briefing, but I will this week. I… I’m sure we’re going to ask in the classified setting, what do we know specifically about what was hit? What happened to the enriched uranium? What the state of the centrifuges? Uh… is… I don’t know the answers to those questions yet, but we will… we will presumably find them all out as soon as we have the classified briefing. That’s great information because there was so much confusion yesterday about what was going on and the left was decidedly playing politics with the moment and… yeah, none of it was helpful. Uh… but we do know now there’s a target for Thursday uh… in terms of resuming that. So real quickly, talk to me about what’s… you know… foreign relations. Talk to me about what’s possible as next steps in all of this. Well, listen, I think eliminating Iran’s nuclear weapon capability is… is massively important in my view. The single most acute national security threat America faced is the threat of a nuclear Iran. I think China is the greatest long-term geopolitical threat. But in terms of an acute… a threat, the Ayatollah… when he chants death to America, I believe him. When he calls America the great Satan, I believe him. And one of the… me… me too. All right, that’s enough. I have no idea how this is going to resolve. I have no clue. I… I have no… no idea. I look forward to seeing this all play out. I suppose it’s going to blow the [ __ ] up. I mean, something is. We got to go over that NATO summit, but it’s already pretty late for me. I got to read a bunch of donos. That’s the end of segments for today, though I might still ramble about stuff. You know how I am. Um, I’m going to read tips uh… because there’s lots of them. And uh… tomorrow we’ll do the regular time. I had to start late today because I was straight up chilling like a villain. I had to do tips. Dips… tips… tip… tips… here. I like this. It’s… It’s… You have to like really [ __ ] bear your chest to show that off. Like to a degree that even I find unnecessarily [ __ ]… Um… but I do quite like it. Mama mia. Yeah, exactly. [ __ ] or Italian? Italian is uh… four buttons. [ __ ] is more than four buttons. I mean, there’s an overlap. I guess it’s not [ __ ] if there’s a shirt underneath. Uh… yeah, like a tank top. I need to get uh… a new tank top though because the ones that I have are too dressy or too big. Why not wear it over the shirt? You don’t really wear necklaces over a collared shirt. You can wear necklaces over a t-shirt or anything that doesn’t have a collar. Scooby-Doo, thank you for the tier one sub. Admiral Kizarox, thank you for the tier 2 sub. Really appreciate that. Uh… use this windfall to buy yourself a house. I think I will. Horizon, thank you for the five bucks. I have a job interview tomorrow. I’m feeling really positive about this one. Can you in chat please send me good vibes? Hey, good luck, Horizon. Seriously, you got this. Okay, keep your chin up. Rhaegar9, thank you. Need more analysis regarding the outhouses taken out by the 30,000 lb uh… bombs. Honestly, I’m not that impressed by the little holes they got over there. They’re like, “Oh, it’s the biggest non-nuclear bombs.” Okay, well, I’ve seen what nuclear explosion blast craters look like, and it’s way the [ __ ] more impressive. If you wanted me to be impressed, you should have nuked Iran. Okay, but you didn’t and I’m not impressed. Sorry. Paul DSSB, thanks to tier one sub… gathered signatures for Zeron back in early March. Nice. You were in it early. Feels surreal to see him lead now. Really, really, really good. No. Yeah. Man has called to question my don’t worship politicians mindset. Hopium… don’t worship. But like we do have to be [ __ ] crazy for him, you know? We have to go [ __ ] crazy for him, you know? I mean it, too. I… I’m… I’m going to show you guys what dogmatism looks like. Okay. Um… Aserica and Noel, thank you for the incredibly kind $10 both. I really appreciate that. I’m crying. I didn’t imagine we get this chance to dream again. It’s the best thing that’s happened in a long time. Donating because I’m so [ __ ] happy. I’m crying. This heals a deep electoral trauma for me and many friends from the 2020 presidential primary. Inshallah. Yeah. No. Uh… we just have to make sure we don’t fumble this. You know, we can’t let Mam Nani’s mayorship be marred by weakness, indecisiveness, and infighting. Mind forge and little Baskins, thank you for the five both. Should Mandani do a Trumpesque clean the swamp tour for the New York Dems? Yes. People who don’t fall in line need to be uh… primar… Being pro or anti-Mandani should be a defining question in New York politics. If you’re anti-Mandani, you should get [ __ ] regardless of your station. It should be difficult to be anti-mandani. Aar and Tamora, thank you for the $5 both. I’m glad tonight was [ __ ]… love my mustache… rather than this time I’m going to do it. Me too, buddy. Me too. I… I do oscillate between those two. But when I say this time, I’m going to do it, what I mean is… like I’m going to break my calorie limit again. I’m going to have the Trader Joe’s black and white cookies. I’m going to have the half moon cookies. Listen, just put the 110 calorie cookies in the bag and the bag is my mouth in three delicious bites. Punk Frog and Shootbang, thank you for the tier one subs both. Let’s [ __ ] go. Goat versus fish. Thank you likewise. Space, thanks for the 10 bucks. It’s so [ __ ] good to see you happy again. I am often happy, but I’m rarely like politically optimistic. Um… it’s nice to be both. Josh by gosh and good sir.

bear. Thank you for the tier one subs, both. I really appreciate that. Thanks for sticking with the election so late. I would have stayed up; I would have done a 36-hour stream if it meant seeing my boy Manani through that election. No lol. Thanks for the two $5 donos, both. Tell me Lander being in third with over 10% doesn't bode well for the goat. Huge dub, and I want Lander to have whatever seat he wants. Whatever, you know, be a senator. Who the [ __ ] cares, man? You deserve it.

B. Summers, thank you for the tier one sub. Asserica, thank you for the $5. Yeah, it is toasty out there, huh? Iron Pond, thanks for the $5. Can you rate the fits of Sanji, Crocodile, and Doflamingo? Honestly, I think they all look great, but I don't like slim-fitting uh suits. I think that suits should be cut full. So, uh, I don't like Sanji's as much as I like Doflamingo's, you know, vibrant um, well, flamingo-like clothing. And I think Crocodile just looks fantastic. Isn't Crocodile like everyone's favorite design a little bit? I I guess I think my like personal belief is that we need to bring back having a gigantic heavy coat that just hangs off your shoulders. I think that is good.

Kenji Hoshiro, thank you for the five tier one subs. Mandani Madman Mandani mandate. Yep. Yep. Yes, sir. Bieberhole 69, thank you for the 20 bucks. Stupid ass name. Uklitian Kennedy, thank you for the five bucks. Great name. Thank you. Thank you. And Simrich, thank you. Likewise. Do you think if Mani wins, it's a great indicator of glowing uh growing class consciousness? Not necessarily. People respond more to rhetoric than they do points. We'll have to see. What matters isn't the rhetoric he uses to win. What matters is how he transforms politics with his victory. Absurd theistic and drunk nihilism. Thank you for the tier 2 subs, both. I really appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you. Going to use this inferno inside me to PR my lifts tomorrow. Eight pull-ups. Let's go. Nice. I have never once been able to do a full pull-up, unfortunately. I know. Pretty embarrassing. Even back when I was able to deadlift around 400 lb, I wasn't able to do a full pull-up. I'm not entirely sure why. Obviously, my lower back was strong, but I guess my upper back, remember, just never got the I don't know, probably chest issues. I mean, before my chest, before my chest, before I broke my hands, before my [ __ ] back, you know.

Cryle, thank you for the five bucks. Just found out my bro who works at Best Buy had helped Hakeem Jeff today. Apparently, he brought a fridge. I think that's funny and wild a bit. Honestly, the idea of somebody like Hakeem Jeff fridge shopping at Best Buy is incredibly funny to me. Oh, Best Buy. What? Too much money to shop at Home Depot or Lowe's like the rest of us. King Jar Jar, thank you for the five, and Noel Well, thank you. Likewise. Secret Cervix, nice name. Thanks for the tier 2 sub. Thanks for being the one political streamer who doesn't make me want to eat drywall, rice, and beans. Bieberhole 69, thank you for the super super kind $100 tip. I really appreciate that. God damn. A new era. Legacy Dems will be forced to adhere to this style of policy and rhetoric or get booted. This is the kind of hope that'll get us out of this mess. Yes, it very well could. But we have to be very, very, very smart with how we play this. Very, very, very smart. It is not going to be easy. It's actually going to be incredibly difficult.

Unfortunately, Kowalsski from Nebraska, thank you for the $5. With Zeron's victory, I feel a breeze. I hear a crackling. I hope we make something of it. Sake, thanks for the five tier one subs. We desperately need the Vosch fashion dock. I wouldn't mind something like that. What with like the clothing that I own or um or or like my opinions? Hm. I have been getting more into it. I really, really, really want to get into um clothing alteration. I have an old sewing machine and I have a sewing kit. Um, like for instance, this flannel is too short for me to reliably tuck it in. Right? See, it's too short. Like you can tuck it in, but right here it doesn't. You know what I mean? So, I'm thinking like what if I cut it and hem the edges and have it just have a flat hem like this, and I can just wear it, you know, more like a shirt on its own like so. Yeah. Well, not, you know, but like flat, like I do it properly, you know. I think that might look nice. Very basic stuff. Hemming is quite easy. Uh, especially if you're not trying to preserve the original hem.

Slightly ticklish. Thank you for the five bucks. Very sorry to hear that your state gov is forcing you to take AI training seriously. Jesus. Raving, thank you for the incredibly kind $35 tip. Appreciate the election coverage. Mani so inspiring and more proof that politicians can lean into socialist ideas and be successful. Authenticity works. Yep. To my knowledge, Mamani did not back off uh anything. Like seriously, he he didn't have to back off anything. He was incredibly consistent. He held firm the entire time, and he was not punished for it. It did not hurt him. Cash money. Thank you for the 10 bucks. Since chat gave somebody's pet a political affiliation, can they do mine as well? His name is Saint. Well, with Saint, aren't you kind of uh biasing the uh results? A what a baby. Chat, give it your all. What do you think? That can't be a fascist. Come on.

Of MF Wardpipe, thank you for the 10 gifted tier one subs. That's very kind of you. Thank you, Vos. I want to thank you. You've been telling us to keep fighting for years through dirt and glass and blood. It's actually paying off. Keep looking forward. Mhm. It's why I said it's like after every, you know, disappointing election result, you do build momentum, and uh we are kind of working with the tide of history, you know, uh there are and always will be more members of the working class than there are members of the capital class. There's no shift they can make to the status quo that keeps that from being the case. So, you know, as long as we keep our chin up and um stay active, uh we'll at least eventually see results for it. Vox Syndicate, thanks for the five. How can it be that the Trump admin is worse at deportations than the Obama admin was? Well, the Obama administration had a looser definition of what deportations are, including people turned away at the border. Right now, basically, nobody's coming up through the southern border, so all of the deportations have to be done via like full ICE detainment and um deportation. They're also just bad at managing stuff.

Smellony, thanks for the gifted tier one sub. Congratulations on your third nephew being born today. Hell yeah. Sake, thanks for the five tier one subs. How funny would it be if if we found out they didn't even drop the OP and dropped way cheaper and worse bombs and acted like they were the Mops? That would be so [ __ ] funny. I I incredibly like that is a line I won't presume at this point, like I won't assume they're that bad, like that openly incompetent, but maybe we'll get a treat in the future, you know, maybe um that will turn out to be the case, wouldn't that be nice, saying they were trying to be economical. His name is Marshall. Nice pancake 13, thank you for the $5. Happy to hear that you've been enjoying the Mani election as much as us. Unknown anomaly, thank you for the absurdly generous 10 tier three subs gifted. Thank you very very very much. Hope is alive again. This can be the beginning of something new, but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else to experience it. Here's to you. You made leftists. Made leftists. Oh, like made people leftists. I mean, I suppose so. Thank you very much. Leftism is when you gift tier three subs. I understand. So, if anything, you are the one making leftists. Um, no, it's it's very exciting. But again, keep in mind like the easy work has been done. Winning the election is the easy job. Okay. Like that. Like that. That's literally like the the playfield before the actual that's like the game before the actual [ __ ] work of governing gets done. It's it's it's not to say we shouldn't be happy. I'm just saying we got to be we got to be on it. It's going to be tiring defending him, but you know what? It feels a hell of a lot better putting your neck out for somebody who you actually like and believe in than to do it for some [ __ ] [ __ ] wall street deep state picks that you don't like.

Thank you on an anomaly. Sake, thanks for the five tier one subs. Let's be honest, Vos, your chest pain and lower uh back pain is from your massive natties. Please. You know, I actually don't have very large pecs um relative to my proportions. I mean, I've got a big rib cage, but the chest itself, I have low pec attachments or no, high pec attachments. Um, I've never been ripped enough to see how the abs connect, but you know, God willing, we'll see one day. We'll see. I love to have some fat ass man titties. Augusta Jadviga, thank you for the five bucks. You aren't hiding any funny JD Vance edits in your electronic devices. Hervous. No. Uh, as a matter of fact, I uh I don't save memes like uh like at all. Uh, I used to when I was in high school, you know, I had the meme folder, but I'm afraid I'm afraid it's been a while. It's been a while. But I respect the true posters out there. And sake, thanks for two tier three subs. Oops, I did a socialism. You always are, Sakai. You always are. Thank you. I really appreciate that. All right. Oh, there's a lot of super chats. Yes, sir. Super tips. Super tips. Who gets the gifted subs? It's random to the people who are currently watching is my understanding. Hi, Shelf. Happy to hear you liked that yellow sweater. Benjamin Gilbert Lift, thank you for the incredibly kind $100 dono along with two subsequent $5 donos. That's the one that I acknowledge live. You phone banking for Mamani with progressive victory right then at that moment people were phone banking with you and Mandani did [ __ ] win so I think it paid off. Raccoon man, thank you for the incredibly kind $50. I really appreciate that. Ever heard of Jewish guilt? Yes. Uh, growing up my downstairs neighbors were Jewish, and they uh the mom of the household would make delicious food and would invite my family to go downstairs and eat with them, and then I would go, "Oh, I'm full," because I was very full, and then she would be like, "You don't want more? I made all this nice food." Is that Jewish guilt? Yeah.

Dragon Warrior, thank you for the two bucks. How could you? I ate that woman's cooking as much as I physically could, and I could eat a lot. Anime 306 Victorious Gardenosaurus. Thank you for the $5, both. Really appreciate that. Still alive and lies. All lies. Thank you for the $10, both. If you've ever heard a recording of your voice and went blah, you've experienced dysphoria. Well, to an I think you've experienced an emotion similar to dysphoria because even people who aren't gender dysphoric don't like listening to their own voices, right? It's that you hear your voice as it echoes in your skull, and then other people hear your voice differently because it's being carried through the air, right? Like a different medium is carrying it. So, everyone experiences that. But I do think the discomfort that you get when you hear your own voice is emotionally similar to what dysphoria feels like to transgender people. Obviously, in their case, it might be more significant and on a wider range of things, but I think that like the cuz there's that feeling of like awkwardness and discomfort and like an oh my god, really? And I think that it might like there's at the very least there's like a comparison to be made there. I think I I think it's important to always remember that no matter how different people are, our brains are working with the same color palette. Uh, metaphorically speaking, you know, so you know, even if you're not like another person, you might still be like another person. There are still comparisons to be drawn. There's no such thing as a fundamentally incomparable experience unless you're talking about like sensory gap. Like a blind person might not be able to perceive the like even understand what sight is like, but that's literally just a disability. That's not quite the same. Got clocked cuz of my voice the other day, and I'm still emotionally reeling from that tbh. Yeah, do your dang voice training. You know, I know it's a pain in the ass. Uh, it takes time, but the results pay off. Uh, you know, it's it's just people don't like coming to grips with the awkward. I think it's because if you're like, say you're a trans chick and you're just getting into transitioning or whatever, if you serve up a [ __ ] outfit, you can look in the mirror and go, "Damn, that's good." But you can't really like deliver a sentence and then go, "Damn, that's a great sentence," in the same way, like there's a bit more work, and it's a bit more of like a brute force thing. You know what I mean? Like you you kind of just have to work through it. You don't really get to like you can't just like slap down the the uh uh the nice outfit and and and feel and and sort of like adopt the artifice of a presentation that feels more comfortable to you.

Brute force. That sounds masculine. That is anti-feminist. Okay. Real feminists understand that there's nothing more feminine than going uh brute force nasty style till the room stinks uh apehead meet banana mode with [ __ ] strength. Um, all the girls do it. Ptown Spaz and Casual Sheep Gardener, thank you for the $2, both. Really appreciate that. Victorious Gardenosaurus, thank you for the five. And Brew Mastercraft, thank you for the $10. Hey Benjamin, I was tasked by other PV directors to annoy you. It'll work out. Anyway, you should all join PV so we can get more people like Mandani in office. I agree. I agree. Casual sheep gardener and crackpipe Prometheus. Thanks for the two boats, still alive. Thank you for the $10. Any chance this 12-day war stick is because they saw the MAGA base hating this and uh they had to convince Trump to fix it? Maybe, but I think the MAGA base is malleable enough that it it is more has to do with Trump genuinely wanting to be the peacemaking president. So many channels on YouTube that do voice training content for free. Sure. But it's not about like the difficulty of knowing what to do, right? The challenge is um uh uh uh doing the work. You know, my only recommendation if you're voice training is that don't get in the habit of like forcing a really stilted specific voice to talk in. You have to feel comfortable talking like normally in the voice you settle on. You can't like it's like working out with proper form. You know, maybe you have an easier time getting the the dumbbell up when you're like throwing your back and shoulder into every curl, but you you need to be able to do this. So, don't don't like fix yourself in place and be like, "Okay, I can sound feminine as long as my head is slightly tilted down. I always speak with this with this like stilted whispery voice. I only projected exactly this volume and also I avoid like these inflections." And it's like, "No, in reality, you talk all over the place." And if sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll realize there are a lot of cisgender women who you could probably cut out like a clocky segment of their natural intonation. You know what I mean? It's just the the the male and female vocal cord difference in terms of like natural depth is not as significant as the degree to which men and women are socialized into speaking differently. The reason I sound like this has more to do with the way I talk than the looseness of my vocal cords or the fact that I talk with a deep voice. There are plenty of guys with like light nasly voices who still sound like guys because they talk and they inflect like guys. You voice train? What do you mean? Yeah, I voice train to sound more masculine, which is exactly my point. It's not my vocal cords, you know? It's just training.

Galactic Moth, Heachi, uh, Mishima, and Casual Sheep Gardener. Thank you for the $2 all. Really appreciate those. Killer Tofu, Takalmo 999, Soft 911, Pal Magp, and Still Alive again. Thank you for the $5 all. I recall Stephen King says he doesn't write any notes down for his books because the true good idea should last without doing so. I I think I understand the logic there. Where'd you learn this much about trans people? They're annoying on Twitter. It's kind of hard not to pick up. Also, I live in Seattle. You know, just put the implicit uh, you know, ambient osmosis on trans issues in the bag. Yeah, you're also annoying in chat. Brandon Spalding and Cedric, thank you for the 10, both. I really appreciate that. My friend recently decided to consult chat GBT for others opinions on the books he's read. More often than not, it just affirms his opinions and is actually disconnected from the discourse. Yeah, it's they're they're kind of coded to be agreeable because it increases watch time or use time, you know. Galactic Ma, thank you for the vibe. Lance Lee, thank you for the incredibly kind $5, sorry, not $5, $50 tip. Very kind of you. My little brother rescued a baby sparrow the other day. They can't keep it. So, we put it in uh a shoe box near our doorstep. And before long came two sparrows were happy to feed it. Today, a blue jay snatched it away. Probably killed it. Little guy pretty upset. I'm really sorry to hear that. Yeah, unfortunately, circle of life stuff is pretty rough when you get attached to something that's not in the top of the circle. Uh, especially when you're young, you know, life lesson, but still. Yeah, memory's victorious gardenosaurus Travis and Saft 911. Thank you for the two bucks. Arcane spaghetti and still alive. Thank you for the five. Lizard dancing around back there. Ghost of Avalon. Thank you for the 10 bucks. This guy's politics is South Park. I guarantee it. I know who you're talking about. That guy from the um clickbait wasteland interview. I see what you mean. Oh my god. You [ __ ] You take two seconds to look away from the the feed and you selfish monsters. Give me more money. Travis, thank you for the two bucks. Snowcore, thank you for the $5. Really appreciate that. Well, this may get in the stockades. I feel like Mandani has like the energy that uh people close to Lenin said he had, like having a thirst for life. No, I believe that fully. Certainly my issue with Lenin is not that he was a poor like uh leader or revolutionary. He was pretty good at that actually. Uh, it's just you know what he did with the power he had that I take issue with. Um, but yeah, no I I I think that like there is a a a universal character to people like Mamani, right? You go back any culture, any language, any point in history, there are common features, you know, they say they say um Alexander the Great refused to take water uh when he was crossing the desert until all of the men he marched with could drink as well. That kind of thing, you know, it's like the stories remain basically the same throughout time.

Hellfinder and the Midnight Garner, thank you for the $10, both. I really appreciate that. As a black voter, I feel like we don't talk enough about how black people have shifted to the right over the last 5 years. It's really pissing me off. Do you mean within the Democratic party or without? I think a lot of it is black men because black women, I think, are like the Democrats strongest soldiers. But within the Democratic party, I do wonder like something does need to be done about the overwhelmingly conservative tendency of black Democratic voters. I just don't really know what cultural signifiers he'd have to I I don't know what he'd have to do, honestly. I I'm sorry maybe some of you are finding this out for the first time right now. I'm white. Uh, I would like to think myself a you know fairly cultured person, but I I don't think I know enough about what motivates the conservative voting tendencies of like especially older black Democrats to know what would change their minds. Mamani vacuum blink and zippy tuna. Thank you for the five, both. Still alive. Thank you for the two. Miguel Moreno, thank you for the insanely kind donation. My goodness. Thank you. Thank you. Lots of love from Spain once again. Uh, thanks Vosch for all that you do from the people who would care.

As much as you do if life did not get in the way. Keep it up, brother. I know you care just as much as me. You just don't have the free time to uh uh do the incredibly hard work of live streaming 3 to four hours a day. Not everyone can do; not everyone's capable of holding down a, you know, a challenge like this. I acknowledge this. Um, but you're still right there with me. Thank you very very much. Seriously, that's very kind of you. Very kind, John. And enter for none. Thank you for the $10 and 100 pesos. Uh, really appreciate that. Hola, amigo. Vos in dollars is about uh 527 USD. Used to be a few cents less than five bucks, about 6 to 7 months ago. I wonder what/who happened. Yeah, the dollar's a lot weaker now. That's [ __ ] great, dude. It's [ __ ] great when I buy foreign clothing. Feels great.

Don't mess with his mandate. No more moral victories. No more moral victories. Only actual victories. Please, please, please, please. Benjamin Gilbert live, thank you again for the last night $100 tip. I've seen enough. Mandan has won. PV did over 10,000 phone bank calls for Mani in two days. Thank you to everyone who phonebanked. The crazy part starts now. Yep. Not done yet. Mani is still going to have to wield basically a uh a volunteer army um going into the general, even though I think he's basically cinched it. But but I mean then the real hard work begins because he'll be mayor. Terrifying. Thank you, Benjamin. Both for that and also of course for the PV work.

Miguel Moreno, hello again, my Spanish friend. Thank you for the €50. Advos, if you can spare another sincere take on this. I'm a relatively wealthy Spaniard, I can tell, who considers himself a leftist. How do I get my conservative friends to start a conversation on this? I apologize if you address this in the past. I don't know enough about Spanish. So, Spain is a very quiet country from the outside, right? Like I hear a lot about France, Germany, um, uh, the UK, but Spain, I feel like, is relatively quiet. I know that Spain does not have a tremendous amount of money. I know that there are a lot of inter regional uh uh sort of um uh uh political conversations in Spain, like uh the Catalans, right? Like I went to Barcelona and I know there are a lot of Catalan nationalists up there and I know that a lot of them do come at it from like a leftwing perspective and a lot of them come at it with a right-wing perspective. Um I don't I don't think I know enough about Look, I think there are fundamental uniting characteristics, right? There are like underlying there there are things that matter no matter where you are and I think that Mandani has built a template for what victory looks like for left-leaning candidates and for left-leaning activists because he's managed to balance both phenomenally um all around the world. Right, you need to be relentless; you need to be optimistic and forward-thinking, and you need to be a hater, but you need to hate the right people. He doesn't talk about hating Republican voters. Honestly, he doesn't even talk about hating like Trump that much, though of course he does. He focused his energy on Cuomo. And now that he's in the general, it's going to be on Adams. Maybe Cuomo again if Cuomo runs again, which he's threatened to, but you know, whatever. Um, and I imagine that the the enemy, the rhetorically focused enemy, that is to say, the person who's focused on that enemy is going to shift depending on what's most politically necessary at the time. That's not dishonest on his part. That's just people talk about different things at different times. The underlying ideology for Mammdani remains consistent. You know, the underlying set of beliefs, pro-workass advocacy, making things more affordable. Everyone wants this. Conservative voters want things to be affordable. Everybody likes this. You have to focus on workingclass-oriented political issues. You have to be shameless and consistent about social progressivism, but don't center it. How often did you guys hear Mandani talk about trans people? That's right. You basically didn't. It didn't come up that much. But he has been incredibly clear how he stands on every progressive issue. Every time it's come up, he's been super [ __ ] based about it. Essentially, he doesn't let it define him, but when he treats it almost like a matter of fact. Yeah, obviously I'm I'm for that thing, you know? Now, let's get back to making the city affordable. You understand what I mean?

Anyway, yeah, I I I feel like it's a it's a matter of choosing your battles, you know, and you have to be absolutely contemptuous to the right people because hate is a powerful motivating force and it I don't know enough about Spanish politics to suggest to you who is a worthwhile target there. But is government incompetence not something that energizes both the right and the left? Weren't there floods in Valencia that killed multiple people uh that uh were caused in part because of delays? Local management failed to was it address issues with like flood water retention or something like that? I don't quite remember. I don't know. I would need to know more.

Yorio, thank you for the 50 PLN ZL. I will never remember what that currency is. I'm pulling an all-nighter at work living in Europe. Thanks uh thanks for the long stream and congrats to your victory. Americans still have some fight left in them. It's heartwarming to see. Yep. I do still believe people are fundamentally good. Absolutely I do.

Taurai, thank you for the 20 bucks. Hey Vos, I was quite worried for a while in the early blocks, but we got Mamani leading by 69,000 votes with no sign of significant decline. Yeah, honestly it seems like um it seems like Mamdani won the the same day vote like he won voting day too. Enter Chazman and still alive. Thank you for the $5 both. Hello Finder. Thank you for the 20 bucks. Bosch did not tweet anything on May 9th. May 29th, 2025. Oceania was never worth your Asia. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Diego I Gonzalez, thank you for the incredibly kind $50 tip. Down with Cuomo. The people have won. Yeah, I love this concession speech. He looked so [ __ ] defeated.

Mr. Hat with the five bucks. Do you think the heat wave made all the old people stay at home and not vote? Maybe it affected things a little bit, but overwhelmingly it was people's turnout for Mamani. Mamani got more votes in the first round than Adams got back in 2021 in like the sixth round. You know, didn't she used to believe that people are morally blank slates? In an axiomatic sense, yeah, but in terms of what people gravitate towards due to our sort of biological priors, I think that we're fundamentally good. Like fundamentally in the sense that like in the fundamentals, right? I think that humans are innately pro-social. Um, you know, for the most part on average. I got to move faster. Bedris, that guy who could fly. And Joel Tira, thank you for the $10 all. I really appreciate that. It's our goddamn country. We're taking it back. Aren't you tired of losing and apologizing and telling yourself, "Well, at least we won in spirit." Don't you just want to go [ __ ] crazy just once? This race has laid bare how conservative and biased the media is. Yep. We remember the war here at first is not with Republicans. It's New York. Republicans don't run New York. Okay? The war at first is with do-nothing Democrats who need to be broken and brought in line so they can be effective enough to do something about the Republicans. You know, you have to have your house in order. Okay? Like Jordan Peterson, you know, you have to make sure your room is clean before you can change the world. The Democrats are in no state to take the country back right now.

Caleb Harris, Sean Ford, Andrew Tols, thank you for the five all. Really appreciate that. What's sad is that the Democrats won't learn anything from this even after he wins the general. They'll just be as insufferable. Don't be defeatist. We've been given a ray of light. Don't preempt loss. Okay? You need to expend effort now. And even even if it hurts, even if it sucks to have to go out and be like, um, I know like in your head, you know, the Democrats are resistant to change, that they're bought. Um, and you have to try anyway. You have to go out there and you have to rally behind Mandani in every single battle. In your head, you're thinking, "Does it even matter? Will they ever change?" People who think like that are already lost. They never get to make history. If Mandani had thought like that, he wouldn't be the effective mayor right now. He had no shot at winning a few months ago, and then he won. Abinav um Bad Dwash, thank you for the uh 240 INR uh Indian rupees. Yes, I hope other progressive challengers take notes from this campaign. They [ __ ] better. They [ __ ] better. Joe Tira, Johnny Ringo, Saf 911, and Citus Brew, thank you for the five all. I really appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you. Casual sheep gardener with the two bucks. Can Brad primary Jeffre or Schumer? Possibly. It's not impossible that he might. It would be nice. Joel Tiara, thank you. You're being very kind to me. Thank you for the $10. Oh my god. Are they already trying to pivot to prop up Eric Adams? They will do anything and everything they can. Okay, we need to be so [ __ ] aggro. Okay. Pants snorecore lies all lies and pants again. Thank you for the $5 all. Northern Lion was right. 2025 is the year of the hater. God bless him. He's right. He's right again. Covering politics and smiling. Nothing else to say. I just want to give more money. Thank you, Pants. I really appreciate that.

Cancer Central, thank you for the $10. Thank you for the 10 Australian dollars. I should say Monopoly money. This could be remembered alongside MLK's "I have a dream" speech. Wow. I wouldn't go that far. You're talking about his acceptance speech, his victory speech. But it is true that there is a timeline, not a likely one, but a possible one where Mamani ends up having such a transformative effect on America, that this speech is remembered in one of the big like, "All right, children, open up your history books. We're going to learn about Zaran Mandani. Here's his victory speech after the unlikely success in the, you know, Democratic mayoral primary for the New York City uh uh uh for for for New York City. Um and then you go on to all the other [ __ ] he does, right? It is possible, but we don't get that future unless we're willing to treat it like a possibility. You have to be willing to be embarrassingly earnest if you want to have any chance at earning the earnestness. John and Batch, thank you for the five both. The Trump admin will crack down extra hard in New York, but he'll be ready to fight it. Pants and Sean, thank you for the five both. Rice Beans, stretch, wear good clothing, make friends, be an overwhelming force for good. Goddamn right. New York City vibes, thank you for the 20 bucks. Thank you, Vos. This is what people need to hear. Happy to say it. We're going to be talking about Mamani probably every day for every stream day for a long while. I just immediately bought a Mandani t-shirt. I wanna I want to see if I can find some nice like homemade Mani merch cuz he's not selling it right now. Um I want to see editor appreciation dono. Thanks pants. Thank you pants. Thank you band still alive. Duka bread. Victorious Gardosaurus. Victorious garden again. Thank you for the two bucks all. Xavier Lopez. Thank you for the $10. His flight just touched down in Texas from canvassing in New York to find out Madam Donni won, rocking a semi that could cut glass right now. Jesus, you flew out. You flew out from Texas to canvas in New York. You found out after the plane dropped you off that you won. Holy [ __ ] No, no kidding. You have a had a semi that could cut glass. [ __ ] shooting ropes as you're walking off the the the [ __ ] flight gate. Jesus Christ. What a victory. I only wish I could have been there. I guess I could have flown. I I I don't know. I still get the heebie-jeebies sometimes about participating in any IRL um political lefty stuff cuz I don't want I don't want I don't want to to be at like an event and uh uh I get there and then it's the vibes are good and then some guy's like is that [ __ ] Vos? I'm now going to I'm now going to ruin the vibes for everyone and argue with you or like be weird. And I I just don't like I'm sure Hassan gets that too to an extent, but Hassan uh doesn't have the mandate. So what, pee on them? Listen, it's not about my feelings. I don't give a [ __ ] if people are weird about me, okay? I don't want them to ruin the vibes for other people. That would bother me, you know? If there was like a watch party that I was at and someone was like annoying to me, okay, [ __ ] I literally do not care. But if they were annoying in a way that like kind of disrupted the vibe, that would upset me. Pub fixing stream. No, still live. Thanks the two $5 donos. We're in we're in from this stream now. Um the abundance guys were a response to Bernie's oligarchy-torrid message. Luckily, it seems most people see through them. It is so funny that like in the future abundance is probably going to be thought of in the context of Mandani's socialist leadership and not through these [ __ ] Substack uh grifters.

Tarai, thank you for the $10. Zoron, they there will be plenty of people who try to rat [ __ ] Zon, but um they will not be able to get to his butthole with their rat dicks because we will be there to parry them. Okay. Yeah, people will try, but we will be there. John and Nori, thank you for the $2 and $22 both. Really appreciate those. Ghost of Avalon, thanks the 10 bucks. Hats off to New York from your brothers and sisters in Beantown. Chat, what's Beantown? I'm I'm blanking on this right now. Also, thank you. Vanderwolf, thanks the five bucks. M Donnie for president. If only he could be. God willing, we'll get that changed. Taurai, thank you for the $10. For the record, no one in New York respects Fox. The building is an eyesore and so is the set. Yeah, but Mandani isn't just a new Boston. Gotcha. But Mandani isn't just a New Yorker, right? Like he is. But Mandani is now an American icon. He's a light for the country and we have to treat him as such. Taurai being very kind to me. Flop Bingus Republic and Barabastant, thank you for the $5. All the children of Gaza comment made me mad. All watching any media coverage of Mum Donnie that isn't glowing makes me mad. Christopher Sanders the two bucks. Why hasn't Obama congratulated Mam Donnie? Obviously Obama's a piece of [ __ ] but also he tends not to um he tends not to step in on stuff like that, you know. Soulmiss, thank you for the $20 dono tip. You are amazing. Thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you for the cute gift. Gif. Heather and God's Cat, thank you for the five both. Really appreciate that. Saved me from my cult. Um, what cult are you at, God's Cat? I'm sorry. Probably not a real cult. You mean like annoying people in your neighborhood, I imagine. Bad, thank you for the 55 try. Have you watched Andor? No, I'm getting around to it. Tax Master, thank you for the two bucks. Much appreciated. John, thank you for the five. Mani's proud of where he lives and wants to improve on that success. Mhm. Yeah. Remember guys, Mandani did not win off of [ __ ] America, death to America rhetoric. Okay? Mandani won because he loves New York City. He loves the city. He loves the people in the city. He loves it all. And he wants to make it better. All right? Learn this lesson. I'm sorry, but like we if you want America to get better, you have to learn to love America. No one has ever managed to change a country with from within by hating it.

Bricks Dean, thank you for the incredibly kind 20 and $2 tips. I really appreciate that. Thank you. The house must prevail. We'll see. Sometimes houses do collapse. The Queen Matriarch, thank you for the very kind 10 bucks. The only problem I have with the Mandani stuff and us calling it is the rank choice voting thing. He won the uh plurality, not the majority. I hope RCV doesn't prevent him from winning the majority. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no shot. Um, Quomo would need uh like 80 like a little over 80% of all of the votes um that went to other candidates to go to him and Lander crossendors Mandani. Every poll that we like the Mandani massively outperformed the polling but even the polling we had showed that people who rank Bradlander first overwhelmingly Mandani second as Bradlander requested so like no I I genuinely don't think there is any possibility of like there's a reason everyone's treating it like a victory I don't think there's any chance he won't. Joel Tira thank you for the five bucks. Um, Zeron's inexperience is uh is is not relevant to me. You know, he will be surrounded by very experienced, intelligent advisers. What matters to me is that he is the backbone necessary to lead. Politicians aren't, you know, fiddly little uh uh bureaucrats and and technocrats, or at least they shouldn't be. They're leaders. You know, they're surrounded by bureaucrats and technocrats who make their leadership possible. Sergio Maldonado Degado, thank you for the 10 pounds. Thanks for delivering good news. Appreciate it, mate. Yeah, normally I deliver bad news. It's really, really, really nice to get some good news. Steven Lawson with the five bucks. Any advice for putting chuds on blast who share propaganda like Mam Dani want Sharia law. It's obviously stupid, but I want good tactics from a debater. I'll give you one. And I'm not joking. Call them uh stupid retards. I'm not kidding. Seriously, they know he's not spreading Sharia law. They're lying because they're mad. Just call them retards. Just call them [ __ ] If they're fat, call them fat and [ __ ] If they're ugly, call them ugly and [ __ ] Call them ugly and [ __ ] even if they look better than you. It doesn't matter. Okay? I'm not kidding. See, don't don't dignify this [ __ ] with anything other than contempt. Okay? Like, they would love it if you got into a debate with them about whether or not Mandani wants Sharia law in New York City. They would love that, you know, much the same way that people who think that evolution isn't real love, love the debates. They love the debates, you know. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You don't need to debate them. You don't need to take them seriously. You don't need to hear them out. You don't need to hear their arguments. You don't need to act in good faith. You don't need to do anything other than ridicule them. You want them to be unhappy. And once they're unhappy enough, they'll stop saying it. Lord, where am I? Thank you for the five bucks. Like and subscribe. I do appreciate it when people do. Duchess Ellena, thanks the five bucks. If voice training is more socialization than other factors, then why do transmen and gay men with a stereotypically gay voice both pass much more easily? Trans men and gay men with a stereotypically gay voice both pass much more easily. I'm not sure what you mean. You wait passes what? as uh as as women. I'm not I'm not entirely sure what you mean. I to though to preempt the point I think you're making, I don't think that men with the gay lisp sound any more like women um than sis men do. I think that the gay lisp is very much like a mananish, it's like a masculine affect. Uh, and you know, it's it's pretty it's pretty evident when you're attempting to like pass as a woman when when speaking as a woman. And as for trans men, uh, trans men have an easy time passing as sis women with their voices because trans men spent years learning how to talk like a girl. Uh but often times like I know trans men and it doesn't last I mean like given enough socialization also testosterone does deepen your voice so there is kind of like a you know both effect right no tempest you just completely sound like a guy yeah exactly. Wardpai, thank you for the 10 bucks uh by the way I started phone banking for mamani on Sunday I'm so glad I did even if it was hard to start I'm going to keep going for the general. Thanks for pushing out. My beautiful partner phone banked from Mamani as well um early in the morning like before doing work like before an 8 a.m. uh work uh day. So so proud of them too.

Habibi. Nice name. Thank you for the five bucks.

Now that Zoron has proven that progressivism is the people's choice, will he finally have the balls to join drag queen story hour as the voluptuous Mam Dani? He would totally attend it. Yeah.

When are you going to embrace cowboy corps? I'm wearing a pearl snap flannel with a turquoise-like Navajo bead necklace. I feel like I'm I feel like I'm pretty in on the cowboy core as it is.

Oh, new Acne Studios line. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Acne Studios is crazy [ __ ] expensive, but you know what else am I going to do? Save for retirement. What would I wear from this? I do like the wabashi stripe jacket. Um, the boots are beautiful. Uh, but I don't I don't know if I could wear teal cowboy boots with anything. Uh, they are beautiful though. Not my style. Okay, look the first one to an extent. This one as well. I I do quite like this jacket. Cowboy boots do go crazy some. Okay, maybe next time I'm in Los Angeles, I can uh step inside their acne store. I got a jacket from them um in New York. Okay, I got to [ __ ] dip, man.

Kowalski, thank you for the five bucks. With a wingspan of 6'8". Doing a wide grip pull-up with a 1-second pause is challenging. Couldn't do it till last year. I'm 31, so never too late to start. Yeah, my main concern really is just my chest because um you know, use of my chest tends to hurt, but I've been making a lot of progress on my costritis lately. So hopefully, you know, I like your necklace. Thank you, Heather. I really appreciate the $1. I also like it. I only got it today. I wish their jackets weren't 800.

Yeah, most of the clothing that I get is from niche heritage men's wear stuff. It's from like it's from retailers that are like really um like, oh, in Tokyo we made this denim using the fabric techniques of the ancient, you know, that that kind of crap, you know. Um, and I like that and that stuff's expensive, but Acne Studios is designer expensive, you know. Acne Studios is a designer brand and it's priced like it. Their stuff is high quality. It's not like Gucci where oftentimes their [ __ ] is like not well made. Uh I I think it depends on the exact product. But um I think that Acne Studios for the most part is pretty high quality. Um but it is very expensive unnecessarily.

Then why does the stuff they give Wile E. Coyote always backfire? You jokester, you. All right, [ __ ] [ __ ] take care. I love you all very much. I'll be back tomorrow. Remember, warriors from Amdani. Okay.

Oh, Mark Lester, thanks for two bucks. All hail mandani. Agreed. Take care.
