Transcript of Trump Hit By Catastrophic News as It All Falls Apart

And some points here: he did not take corporate PAC money and made a point of doing that. And so, as we head to build this map for 2028, to have a major, major, major supermajority so that we can put in some roadblocks to fascism with bad actors that can lurk in where we don't have guardrails, it's important to note that a candidate in Mississippi can go against what the party recommends you do, which is take corporate PAC money, bend the knee, etc.

And he didn't do this, and he won.

If you want to bring up Angie Nixon and her plight, I mean, it just shows the value. That $2.2 million goes a long way in the state of Mississippi. It was a tight race, and it raises the question again: what could have happened with Angie Nixon had they done the same thing with her campaign?

And this woman, Cindy Hyde-Smith, here's what she said on election night. I'm going to play it, and then I want us to talk about it. Play the clip.

And she finally conceded yesterday, to her credit, and it was somewhat of a gracious concession. But to your point, I agree. You hear her talk and the rhetoric, and it just spews a little bit of that South racism that all those folks down there are just tired of hearing, I'm sure.

But within our party, we have corporate Dems, progressive Dems. We have Dems that are going to go into Congress and fight for the people. And then we have Dems that are going to go in there, say one thing to the people, and then have backdoor meetings with the corporations. And the big issue that everybody agrees upon is affordability. And then the disingenuous component of this is you have corporate Dems saying, we need to talk about affordability, we need to talk about affordability. But to truly be honest about affordability, you have to diagnose why things are unaffordable.

And that's where progressive politics get ushered in. They're unaffordable because politicians have allowed corporations to not pay taxes, have not demanded better wages and unions and benefits for their employees. And that's where the progressive part gets in. So be cautious, listener, when you hear some Democrats say, oh, affordability, affordability, but Centrist won, and this is a Centrist thing. You cannot talk about affordability without diagnosing the moderate status quo positions that allowed this economy to run amok to where it's not capitalism anymore.

This is taxpayer-funded. Let the corporations suck off the taxpayer tip economy. That's what this is. So Ayana Pressley, she is a Democrat from Massachusetts, and she posted this yesterday. Pop this up. She says, do you agree we need to show that this agenda has strong support? Sign our petition at ayanapressley.com/agenda. And she says, our Democratic majority should advance Medicare for all, expand abortion rights, stop data centers, and abolish ICE.

Obviously, all of these things are incredibly popular, and kudos to her for putting all of this out there because you cannot solve the affordability crisis without adopting progressive politics as the solution.

And so it's the policies of these corporations that have so much power with the government, and they're not regulated. And all of that messaging is tied together, which is tied to a lot of these progressive policies that we want to see change. And so I think she's shedding light on that, that, hey, just because you're progressive doesn't mean you're not fighting for the policies that the party wants. In fact, it's just the opposite, really. And to label it moderate, I think it's just unfair. I think it hurts the brand of the party by trying to talk about the party in factions instead of just the Democratic Party, because all these issues are intertwined.

They were trying to run Andrew Cuomo. Zoran had to beat Andrew Cuomo twice is how much that was rejected. And then all of a sudden you hear everybody saying, we're going to deliver on affordability. They had to give him his flowers because he was right. But where they fail and where they're intellectually dishonest in this is in talking about affordability. You have to ask, why are things not affordable anymore? And they're not affordable anymore because both parties have prioritized servicing corporations because the corporations pay them and put money in their war chest to win more elections.

This is the era of prostitution politics. The way out of the affordability crisis is through progressive ideas, an FDR-style coalition where we are taking on what helps the most people in this country, the people at the bottom of the food chain. When we lift them up, then we start solving the affordability crisis. The people that pay, that are buying off Democratic politicians and Republican politicians are the same people that are saying, you know, hey, don't go eat a sandwich that's $20.

Don't go to Starbucks, you know, three times a week. You can't have nice things, but we can. We know you're, you know, poor asses in TSA line in the back row in the middle seat next to two people snoring and farting. We're on a PJ, but listen up, you lazy MFers. It's Centrist politics or, you know, tough titties. So we need to really shift the Overton window on this. And as I look at this whole issue of Hakeem for speaker, there's a lot of issues with it.

It's awesome to have a first, a first Black speaker of the House. I'm all for that. But if you look at the things that Hakeem Jeffries has voted for in these last two years and go look at these, go look at the vote for vote for vote. And we're just at this point right now where we have watched American citizens get killed in the streets. We're watching the president grift, steal, start wars, kill innocent people, rip off Venezuela, just immoral degeneracy out the wazoo. We have to have uncompromised leaders that are going to get in there and fight for the American people.

And so will Hakeem probably end up getting the gavel? Probably. But where I stand morally right now, I have to say we deserve better. We deserve better leaders that take all of this money and tell us we can't criticize a foreign government. Come on. I mean, come on. So that's why there is a push online for Congresswoman Pressley, which I think is a fight worthy of having. This woman takes on everybody with brass balls and conviction and clarity.

And most importantly, she is incorruptible. And that's the kind of speaker of the House that we need. And the Democrats just keep, after we won this big blue nomi, we know they bungled the Hegseth thing. You know, I mean, it's just like, show up for your job and fucking vote out a war criminal. I mean, it's like the easiest vote of your career. They bungled that. And now there's another Democratic legislative failure yesterday. Pop this up. Democrats fail to call for a recorded vote and GOP passes its bill that cuts veteran disability benefits and forces veterans to pay more to use VA home loan benefits on Veterans Day.

This is the type of thing that would ideally be paid attention to and handled by party leadership. In this case, that would be leader Hakeem Jeffries and whip Katherine Clark. This is less than 24 hours after they failed to whip members on a vote to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, which failed by a 210-204 vote margin with 11 absent Democratic members. That tweet is from a friend of the show, Julian Androni.

And this, to me, is just, this is such a missed opportunity. This is what we've been saying on this show forever. It is a lie that Republicans say they care about veterans, support the troops. It's a lie. I'm just, this kind of shit is just unacceptable. This is what I mean. We deserve better politicians. Our veterans deserve better politicians than this fucking impotent leadership.

And because of that, your decision-making is compromised and not in line with the will of the voters. That's the core issue. Talk about that. Talk about all this money you took and how you're going to be willing to vote against the interest of those people that gave you that money if it comes to the best interest of your party. Say those things. Have those conversations. At least if we're going to be stuck with him, at least make him come out and own the money that he took, how he's willing to set aside his desire or interest to vote for that particular cause and vote for the American people and the will of his constituents and have an honest conversation about it instead of just having this elephant in the room everywhere we go that all these people take APAC money and all of them are pro-Israel and we're in this war with Israel and we don't approve the funding, the continued funding of this illegal war and have that conversation about what are you willing to do about that and make his ass answer and not give those tiptoe, sidestep bullshit answers that he gives every time you hear him speak.

I mean, it's just so frustrating.

And if you look at Hakeem's votes for that type of stuff and you look at his alignment and all of these votes that I'm talking about are within the last two years during an act of genocide where IDF soldiers are killing civilians on purpose and have guns, snipers aimed at little kids. I think just this week, a 14-year-old boy was shot, Palestinian boy was shot for throwing stones.

And the government of Israel called the kid a terrorist and gunned him down, a 14-year-old. And we just have to have moral clarity on this issue. We cannot be, oh, we're this beacon of democracy. We stand for universal human rights. Oh, but we also aid in a bed, a terror state that lies to people and kills little kids and innocent civilians. And it's not about Jewish people. There are just as I know more personally Christian Zionists than I do Jewish Zionists.

So this is not a Jewish thing. This is this state government, the state of Israel and their government are very bad actors on the world stage. They should be condemned. Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal. If he were to go to Europe right now, he would be met with bracelets and hauled off to the Hague. And so we cannot, I agree with you. It's an elephant in the room that is just always right in the room. And he needs to answer for it. Are you going to continue to take APAC money? Are you going to continue to deny American citizens, American college students their right to protest and their constitutional American right to say, I oppose this government?

I know that that hurts some people's feelings, but it doesn't kill people. What you all are for actually kills people. And so we just need leadership on this. We need leadership.

He'll say the right things about certain issues or causes and then turn around and, you know, fund the war or continue, you know, some of these policies that were just anti that the voters are just simply against. And so let's hold his feet to the fire.
