A
A KFC tale in the pursuit of flavor. The Colonel despised the word empty. Empty plates, empty tables, empty stomachs. That's why he made the KFC five dollar bowls like the famous bowl. Creamy mashed potatoes, crispy chicken, corn gravy and cheese. Because the only empty the Colonel liked was when you reached the bottom of that bowl. The Colonel lived so we could chicken. 5 KFC bowls for just $5 each. Prices and participation may vary. Taxes, tips and fees extra. All right. Every single day we wake up, the President of the United States and the members of his cabinet have broken laws, engaged in incredibly unethical activities. They're kidnapping people. The treatment of children and non violent offenders. People that literally have paperwork issues with their immigration status are being in these horrible conditions, denied health care, denied food, crammed in like sardines. Just deplorable stuff. And I could report on it all day, every day and you would just want to stick your head under the pillow and think, what happened to our country? And that is a really good question. And in doing an autopsy as to what happened in our country, we have to look at both political parties. We have to look at everybody's involvement. Now, as you all know, Ken Martin, the leader of the Democratic National Committee, said that he was not going to release the autopsy on why Kamala Harris lost in the last race. I was dumbfounded. I was beside myself. How do you not release that? How do you not say, here's where we went wrong? Unless, unless you want to keep running on all the bad shit which is taking corporate money, taking APAC money, and being the controlled opposition. I think we can now determine that moderate, pick me. Politicians that don't take strong stances are not desirable for people when they get to the election box. So the people say, oh, the Democratic Party needs to move to the center. I would say that Kamala Harris did just that. Furthermore, I would argue that a lot of people that are not on the left, that are not Democrats, they see centrist Democrats, establishment Democrats, liberal Democrats and progressive Democrats all as the exact same thing. So then you have all this fighting in the Democratic Party. Are you, as you know, a centrist Democrat? Are you a moderate Democrat? Instead of building a coalition, the best thing the DNC could have done to build a coalition is transparency. But they don't and they refuse, refuse, refuse to listen to the far left wing of the party. The far left wing of the party coincidentally happens to be the segment of the party. When you look at the politicians who are fighting Trump the most. Mayor Zoramdani fights Trump across the board will not tolerate this provocations with ice. The mayor of Chicago, state governors, the progressive flank of the House of Representatives, the progressive flank of the Senate. These are the people who fight him the most, the moderates. They don't fight him at all. HAKEEM JEFFRIES CHUCKLES Basically say, oh, okay, we'll let you kill American citizens. Just put a camera on yourself now. So we have more evidence of it. So the New York Times. I discussed this in an earlier episode, but I want us to dive more into this. The New York Times ran a dim focus group, and it basically just confirmed everything that I just said. Pop this up, Kylie. A candidate who identifies as progressive. A candidate or a candidate who identifies as a moderate. This was the question to the focus group. Every single person in the focus group raised their hand that they wanted a candidate that identifies as a progressive. Nobody wants a person, a pick me moderate. I don't, I don't want to piss anybody off. God, I mean, I don't want, you know, I don't want to upset Trump. All right, Kylie, what's the next slide on this? Mehdi Hassan says, how on earth do Chuck Schumer and Representative Hakeem Jeffries still manage to cling to their leadership roles? It is insane to me. And Mehdi, it is so insane to me. It is like fingernails on a chalkboard when I think about that. These are the leaders of the opposition, and I say this all the time. And I'm going to say it again. All you need to know about how ineffective Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are is very simple. The right doesn't hate them at all. There's hardly any like Hakeem Jeffries is really, you know, us over. There's hardly any of it. Think about all of the stuff about Nancy Pelosi, how terrified they were of her. There's nothing, there's nothing on the right. There's not just this hate for Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries because they're not a threat, they're a joke. They troll them with little MAGA hats and putting little sombreros on their head because nobody takes them seriously. And then here's a couple more slides from the focus group response to questions on age and class. Do you go with the older candidate or the younger candidate? One person said the older candidate that was in the focus group. All of the others said the younger candidate. And the next slide, do you prefer the middle class candidate or does it not matter? Every single one of them except for one said the middle class candidate, and one individual said, it doesn't matter. And so this again is a complete return to the Democratic Party as to where FDR had it. And FDR was so popular, and the policies that he put forward for the American people showed people, oh, I pay taxes and here's what I get in return. This is a mutually beneficial relationship. I need the government, the government needs me. Nobody felt exploited. It was so successful what FDR did, the Republicans have been trying to dismantle it ever since then. That's why we have a constitutional amendment, which I support for term limits, because they did not want to see a Democrat go in and show working class Americans what happens when you elect decent people that show you how government can work for you. Which makes me think, does that buried autopsy reveal something like this? And I think the answer is yes. And it makes me so angry because I think, okay, are the Democratic leadership stupid? Is Hakeem stupid? Is Chuck Schumer stupid? Is Kim Martin stupid? I don't think they are. I think they know exactly what they're doing. But what pisses me off about it is they think we're stupid. They think that their platform can just be we're not Trump, that they can just say, Democrats are better, which is true. Democratic governments and Democratic politicians are better, there's no doubt about it. But only the moderate ones are just a tad bit better. They are not creating a coalition for working class Americans. They are servicing corporations. First harm reduction for marginalized people. And then working class Americans are kind of somewhere down on the line. And that's just simply not good enough for the richest country in the world. And it incubates an electorate that is so rabid to go vote against the status quo that they're willing to go vote for Donald Trump, that they're willing to go vote for a demagogue. And so it's just so important that when we hold people accountable as to what's happening right now, we also hold the fascist collaborators accountable. And I believe that Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, corporate interests, they service first, and then they resist Donald Trump second. And that is really, really harming people. It's harming people in these concentration camps that the minority leader of the House cannot look into a camera and say, abolish ice. Not a century for this Gestapo any longer. But they can't do it. They will not do it because they service their corporate donors first. And then they resist Donald Trump second or third. And then here's another slide from the focus group responses, when asked if they've seen any Democrat that's made you say, this is what we should be doing more of. And so the moderator says, has anyone seen anything from a Democrat, public figure or someone locally that's made you say, oh yeah, we need more of this. This is what we should be doing more. Mike, 33 years old from North Carolina, white Democrat, says Zoran Mamdani, Clear, concise messagings, it's exactly what everybody wants. It helps everybody. It's the perfect messaging because it's clear and concise, unlike Democrats, just like Bernie. Bernie has said the same thing since the 80s. You've got to tax the billionaires, you've got to tax the upper class. He's never changed. That's the messaging. You have just got to drill it into them. And Zoron did it, man, it's beautiful. Diane, 72 years old, white Democrat, retired, she's from Wisconsin. Diane says Mike said it pretty clearly and I can't really think of anything to add to that. So this focus group, when you have a politician like Zoran Mamdani that took on the billionaires and said, okay, fine, you want to, you want to spend all of this money campaigning against me, that's fine. I'm working for New Yorkers, working class New Yorkers that have been overlooked for me, you guys, and I've shared with you all my political evolution. For me, I voted for Hillary in the 2016 election because I bought into some of the corporate media that Bernie was too radical. There's nothing radical about what Bernie was saying. Nothing. His policies and what he's been saying since the 80s has aged beautifully because he was sending out a warning, if we do not do this, we are going to open ourselves up to fascism. And he was very clear eyed on it. And these billionaires act like they're so oppressed. I mean, if you get on Elon Musk's Twitter feed, you guys, he, it's like he is the most oppressed trillionaire on the planet. It's pathetic. And these billionaires are ramping up the spending. You've got meta Mark Zuckerberg, who's going to spend over $60 million on the midterms. Elon Musk says he's open for business on the midterms. I'm sure Palantir and all of these freak shows are going to be open for business on the midterms. And we have to have politicians unlike Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer who resonate with the American people. And we have to have wealthy people in this country that say, I will glad pay a few more percentage points in taxes to have a safe country, to have an Environmental Protection Agency that protects the environment and doesn't damage it, that has a Health and Human Services secretary that believes in science and doesn't gut cancer research. What we have done for rich white people to save 4 to 5 percentage points in taxes is so immoral and so depraved. The only candidates whose message really resonates are Bernie Sanders, and ours are on Momdani's. Everybody else just gets mixed into the corporate mush. And lastly, here's a video of Hakeem with sound bites on why he will not protest Trump's State of the Union with other Demps. Let's play this. My current plan is to attend. We're not going to Donald Trump's house. He's coming to our house. It's my view that you don't let anyone ever run you off of your block. You guys, I just, I can't. It's just. I hope you all are as speechless as I am. That is just not the resistance. He should be organizing a no Kings march outside of the capital. He should be on TV every single night. He should be the most hated person in MAGA circles. He should be putting up such an effective resistance that the right wing is losing their mind about him. Anything less than that is unacceptable. Hakeem Jeffries takes money from Palantir. Hakeem Jeffries takes money from aipac. This is a clear conflict of interest and he is selling out the American people, period. I expect MAGA to do this. They wake up every day, commit crimes, behave unethically, dick over Americans, wash, rinse, repeat all day. And I'm so tired of doing those episodes. It makes me crazy to report on all of the depravity that Trump is doing because it's going to get worse and worse. My focus is on the resistance, who is resisting and who is a fascist collaborator. And the more and more you dig into this, the more the dnc, Ken Martin spiking the autopsy is unforgivable. Are we the party of transparency and the party of morals and the party of law and order? Are we the party of, oh, let's just bury that under the rug? It's just unbelievable. And Chuckles and Hakeem are so not the men of these moments. And I know that that probably leaves you depressed, but we have to keep pushing this Democratic Party to go back to its roots, get it away from the Hakeem Jeffries and the Chuck Schumer corporate controlled, do nothing Democratic Party. And we need to take the Democratic Party back to its roots. An FDR style party that favors strong unions, that favors the working class, that makes sure that wealthy people pay their fair share in taxes and universal human rights for everybody. Throwing not one marginalized group under the bus. If the Republicans want to do that, swing for the fences, be dicks, we don't give a shit. We will not throw anybody under the bus. And we don't care how big of a freak you think they are. We're not doing that. And that's the difference. And so Democrats. Ken Martin, please, somebody put up a resistance. I wish that the people in the House of Representatives would plan a revolt and strip Hakeem Jeffries of his leadership position in the same in the Senate. These people are not cutting it. They are not the men of these moments, period. All right, rant over. I'm in Mexico, supposed to be enjoying my vacation. I will shortly after I finish this video. Like subscribe comment. I'll be back later, I think with pumps with more news.
