Be easier. It would be more efficient. We wouldn't have to deal with these loony people.

Progressive Political Commentator (2:03)

Right. And so then what happens when you have people in power and position, positions of perceived power, visibility, disparaging and dehumanizing homeless people. A lot of homeless people are vets, served, having served in the military. A lot of them have mental illness means that they're ill. And mental illness is not something that we should judge people for. It's the same as having any other Type of illness. And a lot of. Of homeless people just broke, they're poor, they. They cannot afford to live in the United States of America because the wealth gap is so massive and nobody gives a to raise the minimum wage. So after stuff like this happens through this propaganda channel to dehumanize homeless people. Very sad to report the following.

Fox News Host (2:54)

Play the video multiple victim shooting in which eight people have been injured by gunfire. This time this occurred at a homeless encampment the people of Minneapolis. But unfortunately, here we are yet again in the aftermath of a mass shooting. This is not normal. I'm providing details on yet another multiple victim shooting. Which eight people.

Progressive Political Commentator (3:21)

You guys. Eight people shot. And in. This officer here says, here we are again reporting on another mass shooting in America. And we played for you before one of the top. The country's top. And I'm saying this in parentheses. Listener news channels. Maybe we should just come. Yeah, yeah, sure. Why not? This is. If this is what white evangelical Christianity is. I mean, come on.

Co-host or Guest Commentator (3:51)

I don't want any part of it.

Progressive Political Commentator (3:53)

It's just so disgusting. It's so vile. And they don't feel empathy for victims of gun violence. They don't feel empathy for homeless people. What a bunch of cold, twisted watts. I'm serious. It's just so gross. Okay? And then you guys, this is just unbelievable. They roll out the same guy that casually mentioned killing homeless people to talk about Jimmy Kimmel. They had that guy claim the moral high ground. I'm not making this up. I'm going to show you the video to prove it.

Fox News Host (Controversial Commentator) (4:36)

More on that later. The point is that Kimmel's comments went way too far for some television executives. Not for me, not for you, but for them. And they turned up the heat on Kimmel the host to calm down the rhetoric.

Progressive Political Commentator (4:48)

Okay? And that's actually false reporting. The Rolling Standard reported that the ABC executives didn't think that Kimmel's comments went anywhere near over the line. The reason that Kimmel was fired is because Kimmel hurt Donald Trump's feelings. That's the country we live in. And Donald Trump is surrounded by a bunch of fluffers, people that keep the penis hard during changing scenes in a porn. And he's surrounded by fluffers that debase and embarrass themselves every single day. But for Fox to trot out this guy to report on on that is just wild.

Co-host or Guest Commentator (5:24)

I mean, irony's dead. Hypocrisy dead. I mean, it's just like these people. The more norms they can break, the more craven they can Be. The more their base likes it, the more they like it. And here again, another shooting. Are we talking about gun legislation?

Progressive Political Commentator (5:40)

No, but you know, seeing Kill me's casual mention of just, we should just start. What did he say? Involuntary ejection. And they're like, yeah, how did he even get this far that we're forced to kill him? The blonde sitting there, seeing how casually they talk about killing people makes me understand the right wing Republicans and Christians, why they're so tolerant of gun violence. Because you, you know, they're very tolerant of it. They're much more tolerant of gun violence than the left is. Like, I, I think Charlie Kirk was a racist, a bigot, a homophobe, a transphobe. I think he exploited the most marginalized people to make tens of millions of dollars. I think he was a sack of. I abhor that he was shot with a gun. I abhor that level of violence. Like it, he was still a human being to me, even though everything he stood for was demonizing other people. And it helps me understand how these right wing churchgoing Christian people, particularly white people, are just so primed to dehumanize people. They don't really give a shit about gun violence at all.

Co-host or Guest Commentator (6:59)

You know, I hadn't thought about it in those terms, but that, that makes a ton of sense because they, they are more worried about Charlie Kirk's assassination, which was a horrible murder. But they, they pick up their phone and it says, oh, we've had school shootings today. Not a word. I mean, they're just like, oh, it's fine.

Progressive Political Commentator (7:17)

Which brings me to this pumps. On the same day that Charlie Kirk was murdered, a little young radicalized neo Nazis shot up a school in Denver. So a story that no one is talking about. Last week's high school shooting In Denver, a 16 year old white boy radicalized online and promoting white supremacist and anti Semitic conspiracies inspired by and a fan of terrorists who promoted replacement theory. Okay, and you guys, here's where I have a message for Benjamin Netanyahu who now we're up to six involuntary posts and videos where he has said that he did not kill Charlie Kurt.

Co-host or Guest Commentator (8:09)

Right. Unsolicited.

Progressive Political Commentator (8:10)

We're up to six. And I don't know what all that's about. I just think it's interesting because I haven't seen any other world leaders deny killing Charlie Kurt.

Co-host or Guest Commentator (8:18)

No, me neither.

Progressive Political Commentator (8:19)

So this is the thing that, that people have to understand that she and I really know well, the most Nazi, like anti Semitic people are the most Republican people I know. And you have Benjamin Netanyahu and all of these Zionists who are sucking up to the party whose tent is full of anti semitic neo Nazis. For real, you guys. So you can see here that this guy is, this kid is radicalized, white nationalist, neo Nazi. But here's the rub here, you guys. This is where we have all of these things happening at one time and they're linked, okay? We have Charlie Kirk that got shot, this kid, neo Nazi, anti Semitic, shoots other kids, radicalized online. And then we have Trump saying he wants to control the First Amendment, basically annihilate it. There's another person that also wants to control the First Amendment in America, and that is the aforementioned prime minister who's denied killing Charlie Kirk six times, Benjamin Netanyahu. So this weird intersection where you see all of today's news stories individually, but they all kind of come together because Benjamin Netanyahu is killing journalists in Gaza that are reporting on the famine slash genocide and they don't want journalists and they're reporting on it because that's how bad it is. While at the same time on the right and on the left in the United States of America, a lot of Americans are going, why the is Israel all up in our business all the time? We don't want to fund genocide. People on the right and on the left are saying this. So he has a massive PR problem. Well, how do you control pr? You control the narrative. How do you control the narrat, you control the news and squash the First Amendment. So all of these stories are actually linked where you have somebody so desperate to commit genocide that is a Jewish Zionist that is willing to unite with white nationalist anti Semites and it is just this crazy crash course and we're just all sitting here living in it.

Co-host or Guest Commentator (10:43)

We're sitting here living in it. And you know, here's the thing with Trump and Netanyahu, they make no bones about Trump gossip. Remember that video where they're sitting around in their fat asses are sitting on the beach. It's just like, are you kidding me? Like a leader of the free world. Donald Trump put that on his social media with Benjamin Netanyahu, who's committing genocide and he's still in office.

Progressive Political Commentator (11:08)

I feel like Benjamin Netanyahu is all up in the US's business. Like I'm, I mean obviously there's always been this, our ally, they have a right to exist, the right to defend their self. There's always been some of that. But I've never in my 51 years on earth ever seen Israel so much in the United States business as it is right now, while at the same time we're expected to fund this genocide. And then you have the story. It's breathtaking. Like a day or two after Charlie Kirk's assassination, Marco Rubio who would just did a big slap and tickle with Netanyahu over in Israel.

Co-host or Guest Commentator (11:49)

Fifty states, one Israel.

Progressive Political Commentator (11:52)

He starts, he wants to start this bill in Congress that if somebody speaks out against Israel that you he can revoke a US citizen's passport. So this is that intersection where these gun violences and this right wing terrorism and the first amendment stuff, it seems like MAGA and the Zionists are one. But I have to warn the Zionists the MAGA people are anti Semitic. They are real Jew haters, you guys, for real.

Co-host or Guest Commentator (12:26)

Complete with Nazi flags.

Progressive Political Commentator (12:28)

Real. Which brings me to our final, final clip which is the United States government is scrubbing, has scrubbed this study that our taxpayer money paid for. And Kanks has pulled this off of the FBI DOJ website and here's what it found. Militant nationalistic white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism. Since 1990, far right extremists have committed far more ideological motivated homicides than far left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives. In that same period, far left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives. A recent threat assessment by the US Department of Homeland Security concluded that domestic violent extremists are an acute threat and highlighted a probability that COVID 19 pandemic related stressors, long standing ideological grievances related to immigration and narratives surrounding electoral fraud will continue to serve as a justification for violent actions. So we got Covid grievances, electoral fraud. Who does that remind you of? Trump Kanks. So here's the thing that I want to say and I want to say something that I think is super important. You know, I think Israel is a really bad actor right now. And I think they have been in the United States for a long time. But that does not diminish the love and the respect that I have for my Jewish friends and for the Jewish people. And many, many Jewish people are speaking out about what their government is doing in their name just as we are speaking out right now about what our government kings is doing in our name. And we need to remember that when we're talking about human rights, we can't make one group higher and one group lower. We all have to be on the same playing field. Trans people, Muslim people, Jewish people, middle aged atheist, broads like us, all on the same playing field. And so it's super important that we understand that. But while at the same time nobody can hold anybody else's speech emotionally hostage and threaten them that if you speak out against Israel, you're anti Semitic. These are the tools of abusers and gaslighters. And we need to stand up against it because two really bad actors, and I didn't even talk about Putin this episode. That's. That's how we are, you guys. But it's important that we keep staying engaged and knowing our rights and never, ever, ever obey in advance. All right? Make sure you subscribe. And please do me a favor. Buy our book.
