Foreign movement is full of depraved psychopaths. I mean truly racist, despicable basket of deplorables. Utter trash as far as I'm concerned. Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden did not go far enough. These people have no shame and are evil and just absolutely, breathtakingly cruel to to their core. Put up this tweet. This is from Congressman Andy Ogles and he says Zoran, quote, little Muhammad Mamdani is anti semitic socialist communist who will destroy the great city of New York. He needs to be deported, which is why I'm calling for him to be the subject to denaturalization proceedings. Okay? And then he sends a letter to Pam Bondi who is completely as psychopathic and whacked out as this man is. This kind of stuff hits really hard in the MAGA movement because their default setting and they have been Primed now for 10 years to think the pro, the ants. The reason they can't have nice things is because of immigrants and seven trans athletes in the ncaa. That's what they think is the cause of all of their problems. Enter Zoran Mamdani. He is talking about a city that serves every person and not just the billionaire class. And he wins undeniably. And this is a man who is speaking for every single person in New York City, but most of which the marginalized. The people who work really, really hard and just can't get ahead because they are paid really shitty wages. Transportation is expensive, groceries are expensive. They this message is wildly, wildly popular because the majority of Americans because of income, income inequality are in this bracket, cannot get ahead, do everything right, wake up every morning, feed their kids, take them to school, can't afford this, can't afford that. Then all of a sudden a medical issue arises and the Republican MAGA party is kind of like tough titties, you should have worked harder. Absolute cruelty. So they want to do everything in their power to demean this man. And here's the thing about all the socialist communist Stu. For ten years straight they said Barack Obama was a Socialist, communist Kenyan that wasn't born in the United States. Spoiler alert, he was none of those things. And the economy was fantastic under Barack Obama. And we actually had a president that we were proud of that didn't act like a dementia ridden psycho on social media and on the global stage all the time. But Jamie Raskin's response to all of this Islamophobia, racism and cruelty from the MAGA Christian base pop up this tweet. This is in response to old Marge's image of the Statue of Liberty in a burqa. And she says, this hits hard. Representative Jamie Raskin, with crystal clear clarity here says true. It hits hard when you realize us politicians want to impose the Taliban's agenda. Banning abortion rights, birth control, imposing official prayer and religious dogma in the schools, the banning books considered offensive by the state, and criminalizing the LGBTQ community. And this is what I have been saying for a very long time, as somebody that lives in the buckle of the Bible belt, this is what they want. I'm telling you guys, I live in a Christian nationalist state. And they want exactly what goes on in the Middle east with Sharia law. They want to remove that and they want it to be Old Testament Christianity. And I'm not even remotely joking. These people have been deeply indoctrinated. They worship capitalism and, and their God equally. These are the people that are working class people in rural red states that the only bit of culture they have is from their church. Their church preaches hellfire damnation. These gays and these trans people and these brown people are ruining your life. Meanwhile. Meanwhile, all the billionaires are parasitic to these people. For example, Walmart. A lot of people in rural towns work at Walmart because there is typically a Walmart in most rural towns. They can't hardly make a livable wage, and so then they have to go to the government to get food stamps and Medicare. Well, in that sense, Walmart is being parasitic to the American taxpayer because the government hasn't said you have to pay people a livable wage and we're subsidizing you for making up so that they can at least have a basic quality of life. And sometimes even with the food stamps and Medicare, these people still don't meet their basic needs. So why are we, the taxpayer, subsidizing the Walton family, which is the richest family in the world, as far as families go? It's utterly insane. But they get these people in rural America to cheerlead for the billionaires and against their own interests. And you have a candidate Like Zoran Mamdani, who is telling it exactly like it is. And it's clicking and it's making sense, especially when you see the split screen as to what's happening right now with Jeff Bezos's obscene multi billion dollar, multi million dollar wedding in Venice where it's all these fascist A listers. Because all of the stuff that Trump is doing, all of this fascism, it doesn't affect the rich. If you're gay and rich, it's not going to affect you. If you're black and rich, it's not going to affect you. But if you're white and poor, black and poor, gay and poor, or any of the middle class, yeah, that's what they want. That's who they're coming after. And they want to uneducate you, make you sick and make you a hundred percent dependent upon them. And then they're going to demean you and call you lazy and call you parasitic. And it is just a classic gaslighting tactic of abuse. And make no mistake about it, the MAGA party, they are abusers. They abuse the American taxpayer and they abuse the American public every chance they can get. And they use psychological warfare to do it. And a lot of people fall prey to it. Next up, the Democratic establishment is scrambling over this mayoral race. Put up this headline from the New York Times. Spooked by Zoran Mamdani's success in New York's Democratic mayoral primary, business leaders met with Mayor Eric Adams to discuss how to stop his rise. So this is wild to me, you guys. You have the business leaders who have personally benefited from the working class of New York. The business leaders are so arrogant. They say we are the people that make New York City run. And I'm in New York right now. I come up here a couple times a month for work. I ride the subway every time I go. You don't see Wall street bros on the subway. You see the working class, all different colors, all different languages, all different styles of dress. And it's very empowering to ride the subway with a lot of different people all going to their jobs or to their families or to their life. And you see the real essence of New York City. Those are the people that get left behind. Those are the people that get psychologically manipulated by the billionaire class to vote against their interest. New Yorkers have had it. The income inequality is exactly what Bernie Sanders said. Exactly what he said has happened. And New York has spoken. And right now, the Democratic Party, in my opinion, is on a precipice. They can either continue to run to the center like Hillary Clinton did in 2016 and she got her ass beat by a despicable, lying, adjudicated rapist, convicted felon Donald Trump. Or she can run. Or the Democrats can run to the center like Kamala Harris did, who I believe is a true progressive. But the Democratic establishment came in and told her no, trot around with Liz Cheney, talk about this. And she didn't take full force economic message to the American public like Bernie Sanders does, like AOC does, like this mayoral candidate who just won the Democratic primary and it wasn't even close. And, or they can actually listen to the base. They can look at where the base goes. When Bernie and AOC have a rally, tens of thousands of people show up. Democrats try to put a centrist out somewhere for a march and see how many people follow behind them. It's not going to be that many people because when you try to get everybody to like you, nobody likes you. You're milquetoast. You have to believe in something. And the message of economic equality is not radical. It's putting guardrails on unregul capitalism is not radical. The centrist Democrats in Europe would be far right conservatives. Our system, our economic system is untenable for the masses. And everybody is catching on. All right, next up, we have a video of Laura Ingram on Fox News calling for the rich in New York to save themselves. And I'm not even kidding. Play the clip.

So unless rich New Yorkers band together, donate a lot of money and create a groundswell for a viable alternative to Mamdani, another great American city is going to swirl down the drain. And when it does, the rest of us should not be on the hook to bail it out. This is their decision. This is their choice.

Yeah, rich New Yorkers, you better save yourselves. I mean that is just utterly insane. But I want to give you guys an example of how this gets covered in the news. Of course Laura Ingraham is fear mongering. But CBS News that leans slightly left reported this as following. Andrew Cuomo concedes New York City Democratic mayoral primary as Zoran Mandani claims victory. Nine News reports it as the following. This is their lead. Who is the Uganda born Muslim set to become New York's next mayor? And as you can see, the fear mongering is just peppered into that lead. And it's just unbelievable how much the media can play a role in xenophobia, in Islamophobia and in fear mongering. And how I know this is because every Morning. When I prepare for these episodes for you guys, I go to Ground News. Ground News Vantage plan. I use it every single day. It tells you if the publicist leans left, leans right. It even tells you how much fact is in the article. And I think we all have agency over how we get our news, especially in this fascist regime. It's so, so important that we are all good citizens and we get accurate news. That's why I want you to join us by going to ground news.comforward/IHIP to get 40% off the ground News Vantage plan that I use every single day. They're subscriber funded and female founded.

And that link is right below in the show notes or the pinned comment for you youtubers. Okay, next up we have another Fox video. And sometimes the the truth slips out on Fox. And this is Fox polling on Trump's big ugly bill, which is a complete parasite to the working class Americans who vote for this ridiculous evil party. Play the clip.

Show this. We got a whole bunch of polls that show this thing is not popular. I'm not talking about the farm part specifically. I'm talking about the Fox News poll shows that it's under 40% approval. When you look at the Quinnipiac poll, the Pew Research poll, these are all showing that few people favor this thing. 38% favor on the Fox poll. When it comes to the other ones, you can look at the, the Quinnipiac poll, that one has 53% opposing it. Only 27.

Okay, so you get the idea here. And this is where the Democratic establishment, the dnc, every sitting Democratic politician needs to look at two things at the same time. This polling on this bill that is a complete parasitic attack on working class Americans and the mayoral results in New York, the base, and I think everyday Americans will jump on board with an economic message that services everyone and quits favoring billionaires to not pay taxes. It's just not that radical. It just isn't. And the Democrats, every single one of them that are sitting in office right now, need to stand up for Zoran Mamdani, who is falling prey to just horrific Islamophobic attacks. And they need to defend him vociferously. And any Democratic politician that doesn't endorse him or defend him, I think should be primaried immediately. Either you stand for something or you don't because we all know from MAGA they don't stand for anything except for what their dear leader says. And if we are against racism, if we are against Islamophobia, if we are against anti Semitism, if we are against homophobia, if we are for economic equality, then that's what we stand on every single day. And you need to defend these Islamophobic attacks on this man. It is just utterly horrific. All right. Lastly, I want to show you Abby Phillip, who I like a lot. I've been on her show on cnn. She does a total takedown on Fox hypocrisy over the cussing issue. So you know, sometimes politicians cuss and of course they're all butt hurt and just wound up like cheap clocks when it's a Democrat. But when Trump does it, they just completely excuse it. Watch this brilliant takedown.

Do you understand that after the president dropped a four letter word on the White House lawn, it appears not all F bombs are created equal, at least on Fox. Here's how one host reacted to Trump and then 20 minutes later reacting to a Democrat using the same word.
- [15:33]
Fox News Host
The president feeling very frustrated this morning and using some salty language as he lashed out at both countries accusing them of violating the agreement that he hopes will lead to peace in the region. I was particularly repulsed by Rep. Jasmine Crockett's comments where she said I'm the one that's supposed to make the effing decision on bombing Iran. First of all, it's a pretty foul mouth of her for someone that went to a tidy little all girls Catholic school.

In fact, it seems there's a lot of pearl clutching over at Fox whenever the swearing is done by liberals.

I don't understand all the Democrats cursing.

Fox News Host
I find it very unpersuasive and undignified.

They've got expensive education, some of them. Why are they out of words? I'm just, I'm confounded by the fact that they've got a cuss.

When you swear repeatedly like that, that doesn't equal passion. It equals disrespect.

Now they think cursing like drunken sailors will somehow make the American people like them again. Look, to me, the Democrats are like a bunch of potty mouth kids.
