In short
The episode covers three threads: backlash to Flock license-plate surveillance cameras; confirmation and early signals from new U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche; and Florida Democratic primary fights shaped by “anti-genocide” politics and party infighting.
Guests
Sagar and Crystal (hosts, Breaking Points). Todd Blanche (discussed via interview clips; former Trump personal defense attorney). Elijah Manley (progressive candidate, FL-20, running against Debbie Wasserman Schultz). Oliver Larkin (progressive candidate, FL-25, running against Jared Moskowitz). Also referenced: Sullivan County TN Commissioner Joe Carr; ACLU; Washington Post; and local news outlets.
Key claims
Flock is facing cross-partisan public backlash after Joe Carr said Flock CEO should be “hung for treason.” Flock’s “case code” and shorter deletion policies are portrayed as PR with limited transparency and loopholes. Blanche refuses to pledge DOJ independence from the White House, says he’ll follow presidential priorities, and will continue fighting to obtain state voter rolls up to the Supreme Court. Manley/Larkin describe venue cancellations and threats tied to Rashida Tlaib attendance and accuse establishment Democrats of aligning with Islamophobic figures.
Notable examples
Washington Post reporting on law enforcement stalking; Flock’s July 2025 optional case codes becoming mandatory; the “hanging for treason” quote; and Florida rally venue cancellations over threats.

2:08Turning now to Flock, which again, I think is just like data centers sweeping the nation in terms of an actual populist movement rising up against Flock cameras, mostly put in people's neighborhoods with very little scrutiny and or public input. We are now seeing that manifest through the democratic process. Here we recently had an extraordinary confrontation between a Sullivan County, Tennessee commissioner, Joe Carr, who recently said that the flock CEO should be hung for treason to a representative during a meeting. Let's take a listen to the local news segment that covered this. A hostile turn of events at an East Tennessee commission meeting, a Sullivan County commissioner told a flock camera representative, his boss needs to be publicly executed.
2:51Take a listen. I believe that Flock right now is one of the most hated companies in America. They are one of the most corrupt companies in America. And quite frankly, sir, I don't think we can make America great again without hanging your CEO publicly for treason. The man who is speaking there is Commissioner Joe Carr. Sullivan County is in the middle of deciding if the county will extend their contract with the license plate reading technology. The cameras are highly controversial. Many local governments in East Tennessee are reviewing that technology and how it handles people's privacy. Right after the commissioner made the comments, he was cut off and then the workshop went on.
3:31The commission will vote next week on that contract extension. Here is the final comment the flock representative made to that commission. And lastly, I hope that nobody here ever resorts to the idea of violence because it's spicable. We did reach out to Commissioner Carr tonight and he did give us a statement, but it didn't address his comment. Instead, he says, flock fears accountability. And that's why the company sent a public relations representative to the meeting. First of all, very little shock in the room, whenever he said that. Second, seems like he's got it. Look, obviously, we don't condone violence or hanging or whatever for treason of public CEOs.
4:09Luigi just pled guilty. But so I'm glad, you know, to see accountability, right, for that. However, you have to see in context of all the stories that we've done, very much like when we covered the general backlash to health care, like in the aftermath of the Luigi Mangione murder, was this is fascinating to me. This rise up and bubbling from the local to the national of the pushback against Flock. And actually, in my opinion, it is shaping out to be the way that it should have been in the beginning, which is holding not just the company but the commissioners and all these other people accountable to make them at least address public concerns when you enable this mass surveillance across the U.S.
4:56As we have seen now with Flock announcing some pretty dramatic safety changes to the way that they administer the search function for law enforcement. I know you want to say something. Well, I just want to say, point out the bipartisan nature of the concern here. I don't know this commissioner's politics specifically. However, the county he represents is rural. It is very conservative. So it would be likely that he shares some of those conservative values. You hear him framing his critique in terms of make America great again and him saying it's not possible. And so your CEO is literally hung for treason.
5:34So, yeah, this is a rural areas are very upset because of this like sort of don't tread on me attitude. Urban areas very upset. Blue, red, everywhere in between. And it really hasn't bubbled up to elite political discourse in a way where candidates are grabbing onto this. Very little conversation of flat cameras. I think Francesca Hong is like the only one I've heard bring it up really at all in terms of public discourse. So it's a deep concern. and it's an issue for the taking. And to your point, Flock is starting to realize they've got a public relations problem. Because on the one hand, if you look at the numbers of the way these cameras have proliferated, it really is crazy.
6:15Because just a few years ago, this wasn't a thing. And now it's like a virus that has just expanded. It's like COVID, like exponential growth. And so you do see some localities that are saying, you know, this really isn't worth it. My constituents are upset. And we're getting all these false positives that are spoiling police resources where we're having to go after people and it's the wrong person that's creating other public safety issues, you do see some localities pulling back, but not nearly at the pace of the amount that they have expanded and continue to expand. Flock, however, I think, Sagar, with this latest announcement, it demonstrates that it's a question whether these changes will really amount to much, but it demonstrates at the very least they're feeling a lot of public pressure.
6:58Yes, exactly. So let's actually talk about some of that. Here's Phlox's CEO announcing a major policy change after The Washington Post revealed that many law enforcement people were using it to stalk some of their own personal associates, including ex-girlfriends, ex-wives, domestic disturbances. Here's what he had to say. We are taking one more step in addition to audit assistance. In July of 2025, we introduced an optional case code requirement for searches, meaning every search must be associated with an actual criminal investigation. Early results from participating agencies have been promising, so we will require case codes for all law enforcement searches by the end of the year.
7:36But because emergency situations do exist and do require immediate action, there will be a process to bypass this requirement. Every one of those searches will be flagged immediately by audit assistants for an administrator's review. Administrative review. Now, as the community note actually says on their post, Flock added audit assistance, but they are not mandatory and or in place. Flock systems are routinely abused. Police are often using Flock to stalk their own love interests. And Flock shares data without permission in violation of several state laws. So you can go and fact check some of that.
8:13You also, let's put D3 up here just to show you that they are really trying to, you know, create this idea that they're responding to concerns. We led the industry with 30-day deletion standard. Now we're going further. seven days, that's enough time to support an investigation. If needed for an investigation, we're introducing evidence mode to support evidence preservation. Otherwise, the data is deleted. However, as we say in the community note, according to Flock's own blog post, existing customers will keep their current democratically approved retention periods. Customers who adopt the seven-day recommendation will receive evidence mode at no cost.
8:51existing contracts override the new contracts. If your contract is in place for forever retention, 30-day retention, that that is going to remain in place for the foreseeable future. This is also just the default. Any locality can do whatever they want. But now instead of defaulting to 30 days, it defaults to seven days. So, I mean, look, I want to say I think people should really be hardened by the fact that these changes are being made. I think that some of them may result in a decrease in some of the abuse. The case number thing, for example, is something that some advocates have been pushing for.
9:26But I also don't want to look at this with like rose-colored glasses. This is more of a PR effort from Flock to assuage some of the public concerns versus a real foundational change. Because the reality is, even with all of these changes, what are people really upset about with Flock cameras? It's the idea that you as a regular person not committing any crimes, minding your own business, or driving on the road, or walking by the street, down the street, and having the details of you and your license plate and all of these things recorded and tracked. That's what people are upset about. It's not that it's kept for seven days or 30 days.
10:03I mean, it certainly is the possibility of abuse, which has been shown to be a major problem with this. But it's just the normalization of day-to-day mass surveillance, whether you, quote-unquote, deserve it or not. And so none of these changes really get to the root of the problem because they can't. Because the root of the problem is the cameras themselves, and obviously Flock is not going to, you know, willingly go away and put themselves out of business. The ACLU wrote up, I thought, a good, you know, very reasonable post about all of this. We could put D5 up on the screen. They go through some of the problems, some of the loopholes that are there in a lot of these changes, despite new updates.
10:41flocks, creepy cameras remain major civil liberties threat. So, for example, as we were just discussing, the default deletion is now seven days, but that doesn't mean that's required. There are ways to get around the case number requirement, as he even indicated in that video. A lot of this continues to be how these processes work continue to be very opaque. And the devil, as we know, can be in the details. So is this more of sort of a rosier picture they are painting or are there teeth to some of these changes that they're making? Because there is so little public transparency, it's very hard to say, including they're also making automatic this audit feature, which has been successful in catching some of these blatant abuses of the system, including stalking that people are facing charges over, police officers in particular facing charges over.
11:32We don't know, though, what fraction of the abuses were caught, right? Are they catching most of the cases? There's some 50 plus cases of abuse that we know about, or is that just the tip of the iceberg? We really have no idea because there's so little transparency. I think this is exactly what it feels like to live in a very low trust country. So really what it is, like there are tons of countries. I think London might be the most mass surveilled city in the Western world. I forget in terms of the per capita cameras, I don't see a large pushback in London. Now, maybe it's because their population is more compliant.
12:07I mean, I think it's largely also that they're like, yeah, I like the metropolitan police. You know, I don't feel like we're being, you know, I don't feel like I distrust them, like, let's say in the same way. Whereas in the U.S., right and left, I mean, do we really trust like the elites and the locals who are in charge to administer things on our behalf? I've given my example. Like, I think it literally would lead to San Francisco. In any blue jurisdiction, I think it will lead to literally like anarcho-tyranny where a guy who speeds gets a ticket while there are crackheads and fentheads literally smoking in a parking lot and the police don't do anything about it.
12:42Vice versa, during COVID, you know, can you imagine? Can you imagine what they would have done in a state of California to enforce lockdown? When people were getting locked up going to the beach in San Diego, and remember the Grim Reaper and all that on the beach? That was totally crazy. And then in the Trump administration's hand or if you live in Alabama or someplace like that, I mean, just imagine what some of these yokel elected sheriffs will be doing to do this. You know, yeah, if you're so concerned about, you know, weed or petty crime, something like that, that's of course what they would be using it for.
13:16So you could see like the rife abuse. And that's what I just mean. Like we don't have local buy in to our elites. We don't actually trust them to administer things on our behalf. And I don't think that we should. Well, and I also think the fact that these things proliferated without anyone knowing what was going on is a big part of the problem, too, because it's not like there was any Democratic buy-in here. There was no sense of like, OK, we're as a community. We're deciding, is this what we want some of our budget to go to? And here's the pluses and here's the minuses. No, this just happened.
13:47And now we're all trying to grapple with what it is and what it means and how we can protect ourselves and whether or not we've been flocked and where the cameras are in our community. But to your point about the, you know, the potential for abuse, you had a police chief in Wisconsin who was so upset about about protesters and about the objections to flat cameras. He was not like, you know what, maybe I should do background checks on some of these protesters who are getting in my way. Let's take a listen to that. I decided to get one to help my community to to help catch the bad guys. And I'm getting ridiculed for it.
14:24you guys want to call and cancel it go right ahead I have no problem but the next time grandma's missing or your car got stolen or you're missing money and I can't I can't help you sorry I'm just I'm just trying to be the guy I'm trying to do I have given 20 years to this this city my blood sweat and tears missing family events holidays I've worked nights weekends and everything and this is what I get for helping? I am not a rule breaker. I'm a law enforcement officer. I take that oath very freaking seriously. And to get slammed like I did tonight? Good luck. That's all I'm going to say is good luck.
15:08I ought to do background checks on half the people that make comments. Can you hear that last part? I should run background checks on half of these protesters. There you go. I mean, I also love the, he's like, next time you need help and I can't help you, like, good luck. What were you doing before flat cameras? Like, certainly you had some law enforcement techniques that you were deploying before we had mass surveillance on the streets of whatever this town is. Look, it has its uses, and there's, look, you can't deny it has actually significantly cracked down on petty crime. And I'm, as a person who is obsessed with petty crime and wants to stop it, I think that's good.
15:43However, the Democratic process not being able to weigh in on it, without any of the checks, outsourcing it all to a private company, not having to pressure a private company to put in audit review. It gives you very little recourse. How do you know what these people are doing? This is why when I'm like, I trust Singapore and China, because there it's the government. And look, for all the authoritarian dictatorship and all that stuff, London, I think is another example. That's actually a police owned camera. It is not outsourced to some private company for how they're going to do it. And so they can vote the mayor in and out if they want.
16:19We don't have that ability. Here it's cancel contract, accept contract. It's all just pushed out to the private sector. That honestly makes it worse, in my opinion, because it really makes it – it loses your ability to have the requisite level of input. And this is the point, too, where they're not proving the function. Has America gotten dramatically safer because of Flock? I looked at the evidence, like I said, around petty crime. It depends on the locality. But then in some of the high-profile cases, Nancy Guthrie, if it's so great, where is she, right? The entire United States government and flock can't find her?
16:53You know, that seems like a problem, right? And so there's a lot of different things, too, where they juke the stats. They talk about missing children. As you and I both know, like 99 % of the missing children cases are like some father in a custody dispute or something. So, yeah, they solve that. It's also been solvable via cell phone data, metadata, and all these other things. So you can't let them just throw some of these things in your face. They actually have to prove that it is dramatically more useful and has a lot of audit stuff built in. And I don't see it. And that it's worth the tradeoffs.
17:24Because, of course, if you had perfect mass surveillance of the entire country, would you be able to thwart even more? Yes, you would. Is that a tradeoff that people are willing to make? because you've got, of course, competing societal values here of freedom from surveillance and independence and then the concerns over crime. And democracy, part of democracy, is how do you balance these competing priorities? So to your point, when it's all run from a private company, we have to just take their word for it. You have no democratic, small-D democratic accountability here. You can see the concerns bubbling up at the public level.
18:01Put D6 up on the screen. Sogra's been taking a close look at this. You know, you can look at Fargo. I pulled this from all over the nation. Yes. St. Pete, Virginia communities, wherever Pflugerville is. It's Texas. Texas. You can literally, conservative, rural, urban, blue, suburban, go to any local news outlet and you will see them covering Flock. because they are hearing and feeling and understanding these concerns that are coming from the grassroots. And it truly, truly is a cross-partisan concern. And they are right to be worried. So I find it encouraging that Flock felt pressured enough to have to make these changes.
18:45Does that mean you should trust them? Does that mean you should feel like these changes go far enough? Of course they don't. And of course they're going to try to massage the public rollout of what these changes actually entail. But I think it should be very heartening to protesters and local people are just showing up at their county commission meetings that it is being heard by people in power and they are having to respond. And so that is a positive indication. Agreed completely. All right, let's get to Blanche.

President Trump's former personal defense attorney, Todd Blanche, has now been confirmed as attorney general of the United States after some challenging confirmation hearings.
21:22He was out in his first sort of big round of Sunday interviews and some very interesting things to say about the way he will approach that position. Let's go ahead and take a listen to what he has to say about his quote unquote independence. You, of course, used to be President Trump's former personal defense attorney. Can you pledge that the Justice Department will always act independently of the White House? Well, there's a big difference between saying we will always do our job and investigate any case and act independently of the White House. No, I'm not going to pledge that. And no attorney general should ever pledge that.
21:56The president, I mean, if I were to pledge I will be independent of the White House, What that means is that if President Trump says, I want the Department of Justice to go after every violent criminal in this country, which is what he has said, what you're saying to me is I should say, no, sir, not going to do it. So I will act with integrity. Our prosecutors will act with integrity. We will prosecute without fear or any sort of favor. And that's exactly what we've been doing. And that's what every Department of Justice should do. Well, I guess big picture, if the president asks you to do something that you feel crosses an ethical or legal line, would you do it?
22:31The president will never ask me to do something unethical or illegal. He never has. He never will. Should the president have a voice in individual prosecution decisions at all? Every American has a voice in prosecutions. I mean, we hear from Americans all the time. As a matter of fact, many of our investigations start with an American citizen coming forward and saying they saw something. And so whether President Trump should have a, quote, voice, it depends. Would you take his opinions into consideration when he says, I think this case should be revived? Will you take that into consideration? So hold on.
23:04Will I take the president of the United States' view on something into consideration? There you go. Definitely not going out of his way to say, of course, we're going to have independence. In fact, striking exactly the opposite tone. And, you know, it'd be one thing like his answers on their face are not completely unreasonable. I'm glad you said that. I was like, look, you have to separate his answer from what reality. Because here's the thing to say like he's he's saying here basically like, look, President Trump ran on these certain priorities. Like, of course, I'm being brought in here. And so I'm going to pay attention to those priorities.
23:40Not ridiculous. However, when he gets asked about what if President Trump asked you to do something immoral or unethical? Oh, he would never. He has. He would never. Let's just remember, put the next one up on the screen, this whole situation with the previous attorney general, Pam Bondi, where Trump apparently accidentally posted what he meant to be a DM publicly on True Social, where he directly called for the prosecution of James Comey, Adam Schiff, and Letitia James based on, we can all say at this point, really nothing like ginned up, fake charges, all of which have fallen apart. He said to her, we can't delay any longer.
24:19It's killing our reputation and credibility. They impeached me twice, indicted me five times over nothing. Justice must be served now. So for Todd Blanche to come in here and play all innocent like, oh, well, I just, I'm going to reflect the priorities of the president. And he's so moral and ethical. He would never ask me to do something that was over the line. We know that's not true. That is preposterous. It's ridiculous. He spent his whole time in the office, in office, prosecuting his opponents, most of the time failing to do so, as in with this whole like reflecting pool vandalism case, and rewarding those who backed him up, for example, pardoning the J6 rioters, including those who assaulted police officers.

24:58So we can't come into this, you know, all Pollyanna, like, of course, the president will comport himself. Well, we know the way that this man operates. Right. So I would just say his answer, like you said, on its face is not just fine, but normal. Like, yeah, Obama got to decide it's like prosecutorial discretion, right? When they're like, don't prosecute this type of people. Or you get to say how immigration law, for example, you create an entire fake category called DACA if you want to, or if you're the president or not, if you want to put it the other way. Although I will say that was very controversial from the right at the time.
25:32What, DACA? Well, the use of prosecutorial discretion at that time. And I'm also old enough to remember when the whole, remember the Loretta Lynch conversation with Bill Clinton was a major, major scandal. So there is definitely a very different standard that is being applied now when it's Trump for sure. Right-wing hypocrisy is a tale as old as time. Yes. Sure, fair enough. Would say it's equivalent in some cases. However, we are where we are today with Todd Blanche. And yeah, I mean, to your point about Overton Window, this is where with Blanche, when he says things like violent criminals, it's like, yeah, nobody's like, please don't prosecute.
26:10Well, maybe some people are, but most people are like, yeah, please prosecute violent criminals. But when they're like, please prosecute the 60-year-old Olympian who gashed the reflecting pool, that's a little bit different. And I think that's kind of what the answer is indicative of Trump's total loyalty pledges from his assistants. Like, for example, with Jeanine Pirro. I mean, Jeanine Pirro was doing everything Trump wanted to do. And I don't even mean necessarily in a bad way. Like under D.C., they are prosecuting a lot more violent felonies and changing the way that they're enforcing that in the in the district as opposed to it was before.
26:50I'm cool with that. That's cool. We have less crime. But then she's getting the what is, you know, the break, quote unquote, with Trump is that she had to drop the case against the reflecting pool, you know, whatever, assassin or whatever they're calling vigilante. and then she's getting lit up. I mean, this morning he's like, she needs to go back to law school. She had no idea what she was doing. Same with Pam Bondi, like the whole James Comey 864. I mean, it's ludicrous. Everybody knows it's total bullshit. And so that's what Blanche is speaking to. And that's generally the problem that we have right now, especially in the context of a lot of these political pardons and prosecution agreements that are in the future.
27:35Well, just to make it plain, it is one thing to say, I'm going to reflect the priorities of the president because he was democratically elected and I share those priorities. That's the way we're going to conduct ourselves in the Justice Department. It is another thing to say, I'm going to prosecute the people that Trump wants me to prosecute. And while Todd Lynch did not say that directly because that would be such an extraordinary and very troubling admission, that is the reality of Trump's orientation towards this office. It was under Pam Bonney. There's a reason Todd Blanch was picked. He sees this guy as his personal weapon to go after his enemies.
28:09That is the way Trump conducts himself. And I don't know that whatever Democrat takes office next will have the stones to do the same thing. But don't complain when you've got President AOC or President Abdul Syed or whoever it is saying, OK, my attorney general is now going to prosecute Stephen Miller and is now going to prosecute Elon Musk and is now going to prosecute whoever else. You really don't think Democrats would do that? You really think that after the mood of the country like it is currently? I don't know. I mean, I think they're I just see. Well, OK, they won't be prosecuted because Trump will pardon them.
28:44Yeah, well, that's true. So that's not really the question. Yeah. Bigger question is like I just my experience with Democrats, they tend not to have the balls to do these things. It may be a new era that is dawning in the party based on some of these primary results and the new blood that is coming in. So we will have to see on that front. But let's go ahead and take a listen. And this is also really important to pay attention to because Trump knows they're getting cooked in the midterms. He's already done his whole redistricting thing. It has helped to mitigate the losses, but they are still very much on track to lose the House and possibly the Senate as well.
29:16They have mounted this pressure campaign to force states to turn over their voter rolls to the federal government. And this has been, you know, a major effort from the Trump administration. and so Todd Blanchier is asked about this from Kristen Welker. She says, listen, you keep losing in court because these states are saying, no, we're not turning over our voter rolls. We get to control them. You don't get to tell us what to do. You've lost all of these cases. Why don't you just let it go? And he indicates that he will continue to pursue this even up to the Supreme Court. Let's take a listen.
29:49One of the issues that he really cares about, the midterms, and there's been a lot of focus on the midterms as it relates to the Justice Department, which has lost 22 cases trying to force states to turn over their voter rolls. State officials have pushed back against those moves. They say states dictate how elections are run, not the federal government. Is it time for the DOJ to drop this fight, and will you do it? Well, just, I mean, we're relying on a statute, a statute passed by Congress that allows us in the right circumstances to review and get those voter rolls. And so, yes, no, we're not going to stop doing what I think every American should expect us to do, which is make sure that we have elections that are fair.
30:32And as that relates to the Department of Justice, that means making sure that there are no constitutional legal violations, even at the state level. So, yes, President Trump, this administration knows and, of course, understands that states administer elections, and that will always be the case. But it doesn't mean the federal government should play no role. And so the tension there is, of course, whether we should be playing the role that we're playing. And that's really what we're litigating. How far are you willing to take this fight? Because you've been ruled against now 22 times. Are you going to take this all the way to the Supreme Court?
31:03Do you anticipate? We'll see. We'll see what happens. We're trying to work it out with states. Of course. Yes, absolutely. It's a possibility. Election integrity is something that President Trump ran on and the American people elected him. It's something that every American should care about. Election integrity. Yeah, that's something President Trump is very deeply concerned about. So in any case, he reveals, you know, they might quite possibly take this up to the Supreme Court. And I think part of the reason why Blanche being confirmed here is because there's no doubt he is just a partisan operative on behalf of the president.
31:36And, you know, there's a lot of questions about what Trump might do with regard to the midterms, assuming that the results don't go in the direction he wants them to. And so now he's got someone in place who is going to go along with whatever he ultimately wants to do. And obviously we have the track record of 2020 behind us to know what some of those shenanigans might look like. I mean, if you look into his mind, one of the things he hated most about Sessions is that Sessions wouldn't quash the Mueller probe. Which, look, the Mueller probe was bullshit. But, you know, obviously what he was mad about was that he wouldn't immediately quash the process, even though Sessions is the OG Trump guy.
32:11Like, he was most responsible for him. I also just think it demonstrates with Trump where like you may have a like we were talking about earlier. It's a normal thing for an attorney general to say we're going to enforce the priorities of the president. If people had confidence, let's take 2020 out of it. Right. It's a longtime Republican thing. You just had this big New Jersey story. I'd forgotten the details. It's like sixty six hundred non-citizens had been registered to vote. Like, yeah, that's a real problem. And to be clear, I am not I am not a stop the steal millions of illegal voting people.
32:40But like, yeah, that's an issue, especially a lot of these blue states that issue driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. And if you're not going to have robust systems that are enforced by the feds, like it's a genuine concern. It's like how many illegals or even non-citizens are you allowing to vote? Like that's a problem. If that was the framework of Trump, that would be like a 90-10 issue. But it's a 20 – even voter ID. Every time you poll voter ID, it's like dramatically popular. Like everyone knows. But – and yeah, obviously that's always a sleight of hand too from the Dems saying it's racist or whatever.
33:10bullshit. But the point being with Trump is when you're going to bring in your 2020 era Dominion voting systems, it's not unreasonable to be like, what are you going to do when you gain access to my voting rule, which is why they fight so hard. So this is where like, you know, his own insanity, because if you were to talk to the supporters or, you know, people will get mad or whatever. They're like, oh, what? You don't support reviewing the voter? I'm like, well, Well, yeah, if there were, it's like the flock thing. If there is a trust, you're going to do it correct or to not nefarious purposes.
33:45Yeah. Right. And like that's what's concerning. Yeah. I think about all this. Just to give a really quick example. So in Georgia, they did a lot of this like, oh, we're going to go through our voter rolls and we're going to kick off people who are duplicate registered or they're on a state or they're undocumented, blah, blah, blah. And they set up an ability for just random people to challenge people's voter registration, which I think is insane, by the way. And a lot of what they would do is, let's say you had two people named like Juan Carlos. And one of them was, let's say, a convicted felon, or one of them was an undocumented immigrant, and the other one wasn't.
34:21They would kick them both off. So there was a, you know, there are a lot of names like that that are very common. Totally. Literally. And so that's what would happen. And then people would show up on election day having no idea there was any problem and they'd be turned away. And then, you know, maybe you're voting on provisional ballot. Oftentimes those are not getting counted. You don't know what your rights are. And that's it. You've lost your ability to vote. That's the sort of thing that happened. It was very sloppy. And there were a lot, thousands of people that were kicked off the voter rolls unjustly.
34:51So that is really, that is, the assumption is that is really the model that they want to do at the federal level. And so if they run that kind of like AI based matching program, you could see them taking California's voter rolls and say, oh, there's 100 ,000 people who are illegally registered, blah, blah, blah. Then you dig into that and that you see the actual problem is the way that they're analyzing the data. Remember when they did that whole thing about, oh, Social Security has all these undocumented. I remember it was total and complete bullshit. That my assumption is that's the sort of thing that they want to be able to do with these voter rolls, which may not even succeed and kicking people off the rolls.
35:28But then you can sow all this doubt about the results. And, oh, if only we'd had the correct people registered in Michigan, then we would have been able to win the seed. And then you have this whole casting doubt that enables whatever is going to come next. I mean, it's the same thing that they did in 2020. So I think that is probably the playbook. That's my last thing on elections is, look, I think we should have federal elections. We should have, like, massive federal standards. And we should be able to report election night winners literally day of. Like I think every state should be required to be set in a set of parameters.
35:59The problem is, is that we don't have that. And this is genuinely the pitfall of living in a federalist system. Like each of our each of our states has dramatic power and oversight to the point where isn't it Oregon and Washington are only vote by mail, literally only vote by mail. Whereas some states you can only, you know, depending on certain conditions. I think that's fucking crazy, if you ask me. Yeah. Just saying to some states, former felonies. can vote or not. Here's the hours are different. The early vote period is different. A U.S. citizen can vote in one state and not in another. Again, I think this is nuts.
36:35I literally think that's why we need federally administered elections. But this is a good example of why, in my opinion, we literally never will. Under a Democrat, no Texas governor will ever allow Obama or whatever to control their election. And then same under Trump. It does make it hard to actually rig a national result. It's true. The fact that it's all locally administered does make it, I think, more difficult. You mean in terms of straight-up rigging? Yeah, I agree. Yeah, in terms of straight-up rigging. I was going to say, with Electoral College, it actually weirdly gives a certain number of states, like, immense power.
37:03Oh, of course. Yeah, the Electoral College is a total nightmare. But, yeah, I mean, it does create some anti-fragility there in terms of just the ability to outright rig the results. But there are a lot of problems as well. It does seem wild that the basic rules could be so different state to state. Correct. I genuinely think that's crazy. The problem is nobody can agree on what the basic rules are. Okay, got the candidates stopping by. Crystal's going to do this one solo, so let's get to it.

39:03It will be election day in Florida tomorrow. We got a handful of very interesting primaries, in particular in the battle for the soul of the Democratic Party. And two candidates who are on the ballot tomorrow join us now. We've got Elijah Manley, who is running in Florida's 20th congressional district. and Oliver Larkin, who is running in the 25th. Welcome, gentlemen. Well, thanks for having us. Yeah, of course. So I've been tracking these races closely, both of you progressive candidates up against more establishment-type figures, longtime establishment figures. Elijah, you're running against Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and Oliver is running against Jared Moskowitz.
39:37You guys had this rally plan. Let's put F1 up on the screen. The Chomp the Oligarchy rally, the two of you alongside Angie Nixon, Rashida Tlaib was there. I believe Mouat Kyrous also was in attendance, correct? a lot of trouble getting this pulled off. Elijah, tell me what was going on with this. So I don't know where to start. I mean, we put together an awesome event and it was supposed to be held in the venue, which is in my district in Willow Manors. And out of nowhere, the owners of the establishment decided, you know, that we would have to uninvite Rashida to leave, Congresswoman to leave in order to host the event there, which was a no-go from all of us.
40:17We were not going to do that to the congresswoman. So we changed venues. What did they say? Sorry, I want to hear the whole story. But what did they say specifically about why a congresswoman Tlaib could not be there? Well, they didn't really go in specifics, but we know that there was a Facebook post from a Democratic state representative, Michael Gottlieb, unhinged Facebook post attacking Rashida Tlaib, attacking all of us, calling us anti-Semitic, saying it was a Nazi hate rally and that they were going to call the venue and make all types of threats to the venue. So they ultimately, you know, called and said that we had to uninvite Rashida.
40:54We didn't do that. So they breached their contract and we ended up going to a different venue in my district, the downtown event center, which in the middle of the night canceled on us as well, saying that they got threats and intimidation. And so we ultimately found the third venue that worked out well. And it was an incredible event. And Elijah, are you in fact, anti-Semitic? No, I'm actually a Jew, Protestant Jew myself. So, but I've been caught self-hating by Michael Gottlieb, a Democrat who teamed up with Laura Loomer to attack our event. Some people got death threats. My address was leaked online due to this insanity.
41:31Laura Loomer went on a screed against me and the rest of the candidates. So, yeah, those are the Democrats we have. So, Oliver, why don't you pick up on that? Because I think people will be pretty shocked to learn that you've got elected Democrats in the Florida Democratic Party who are making common cause here with Laura Loomer and the likes of, you know, she's like just blatantly bigoted Islamophobic person. And she's not the only one on the right that Florida Democrats are sort of making common cause with here. Yeah, Randy Fine, the bigoted Islamophobic United States representative from the 6th District, also was in Fox News saying that we were not supposed to have Rashida Tlaib come to our district and rally with us, that this was, again, what Elijah said, making these spurious claims and accusations.
42:25A lot of it's projection, right? I mean, these are some of the most bigoted Islamophobic figures in the Republican Party. And unfortunately, as Michael Gottlieb revealed himself, someone who would make common cause with the far right to suppress the voices of Democratic voters and try to get in the way of exercising our First Amendment rights to freedom of speech. So we had a strong degree of confidence in the second venue, the Downtown Event Center. I was actually there for the CARE South Florida Gala that Angie Nixon spoke at. But the pressure campaign, the harassment, the targeted hate that we saw motivated the cancellations of these two venues.
43:07We're talking about hundreds of calls that were made. And like Elijah said, threats that were made personally against candidates, against attendees. And it's just unacceptable. And the Democratic Party, especially down here in South Florida, really needs to make a choice because what we're talking about is collective liberation. We're talking about an end to genocide and an end to apartheid and making sure that the actions of the Israeli government is not putting people in our districts, including Jewish Americans at risk by getting the blowback of these, you know, very anti-Semitic claims that just try to paint the Jewish community as a monolith and ascribe the actions of the Israeli government to people in South Florida, including Jewish Floridians who just want to see us address the cost of living crisis and not contribute to breaking both U.S.
43:53and international law. So I was very glad to see the event go forward. We're very grateful to the venue owners that ultimately hosted us. It was a fantastic event and something that was really unprecedented in modern South Florida political history. Yeah, I see both of you have a lot of grassroots support here heading into Election Day. I think you both have very difficult campaigns up against a lot, but it's been encouraging to see the number of people who have come out to support both your campaigns. Elijah, we've obviously been tracking here the kind of democratic civil war, if you want to call it that, in Michigan, in New York, in Colorado, and other places around the country.
44:26What does that look like on the ground in Florida specifically? Yeah, I mean, I think similarly people are sick of the Democratic establishment here in Florida across the board. And I'm seeing that play out in the 20th district as well. Of course, we have a little bit more happening here as well. We have a white carpetbagger in our district running to take away one of the last remaining African-American opportunity districts here in the South. And this is a person we all know chaired the DNC and is responsible for Donald Trump being in the White House because she couldn't keep her hands off the primary in 2016.
45:02And people don't like her in this district and they understand what is going on. They understand that she is just an APAC puppet. And like other places in the country, we're aiming to remove her from Congress tomorrow. Talk a little bit more about that, the way this came about, Debbie Wasserman Schultz running in this particular district and what the response has been like locally. So she completely ignored the black community before she decided to run the black caucus, the legislative black caucus, the CBC. She didn't meet with anyone. She decided to leave her district where she currently lives in the 22nd district, leave the Democrat without the Democratic Party without the strongest possible challenge.
45:44to run over here in a seat that was created under the VRA in 1992 to forcibly ensure that African-Americans in Florida had representation in Congress. And that individual, Elsie Hastings, was the first African-American representative from Florida to the United States Congress. So she ignored the community, decided to run here. There has been a ton of backlash and pushback against her from elected officials, from the black community, from white elected officials, you name it, from the party in general, even from our state party chair, Nikki Free, who condemned her for this move. And unfortunately, that didn't stop Debbie.
46:20Debbie decided to run anyways because she only cares about herself. And we're hoping that this cynical move, she's running because she believes that the Black vote is split. You have four Black candidates. They're going to split up the vote and I can just squeeze my way through. We're hoping that doesn't happen. But But if that does happen tomorrow, she needs to be seen as a pariah in Congress. No Democrats should touch her. The caucus should condemn her. And we need to remove her from our seat. Oliver, you had an interesting exchange on local news that has gone viral, where it got fairly contentious over the genocide that you rightly call out as Israel committing in Gaza.
47:01Let's go ahead and take a look at this exchange. Guys, this is F4. And then I want to get your reaction on the other side. Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza. That's incorrect. That is factually incorrect. It has been regarded by the United Nations and Amnesty International and even Israeli human rights organizations, including B'Tselem. The definition of genocide in the UN, the UN has said this, does not apply to what many people might think as a disproportionate wartime action. That's what that is in many people's minds. Genocide is a very specific thing. actually genocide being committed against Jewish people, not by Israel.
47:39And that's just a fact. I mean, the United Nations recently in Geneva found that the IDF had deliberately targeted women and children. There's been famine conditions imposed over the Gaza Strip by the blockading of aid. Entering the Strip, there's been indiscriminate bombing of hospitals, of mosques, of churches, of... Again, I'm going to have to stop you as that is factually not correct. But I hear you talking about something very important to a lot of people and certainly who think that way. But as a congressman, I'm being told we have to wrap. I love the being told she has to wrap. This is the second time I'm aware of all of her where suddenly producers are coming in saying, wrap, wrap, we got to get out of this.
48:21But just take me through that interview and what that exchange was like and what kind of the reaction has been after the fact. Yeah, I mean, it started as a cordial interview. We were talking about Medicare for All. We were talking about the district. But this third rail in American politics of just joining the assessments of the rest of the international community and even many organizations within the United States, I'm not making these spurious claims or accusations. this is all grounded in fact and sourced material. And I think for most Americans that just see what's happening on our phones, we see the destruction of, what is it, 90 % of the building structures in Gaza.
49:02We've seen time and again since October of 2023, and even in the time preceding it with the mowing of the grass that the IDF has conducted, that there are genocidal conditions in Gaza, that there is an apartheid. And this has been regarded by virtually every international body that has studied the issue. And this is just not something that we hear talked about on local mainstream media. There are not candidates like Elijah and I that really forcefully advocate for a differing point of view because we've seen the manifestation of this intimidation campaign with the attempt to cancel this rally.
49:43But I think it is precisely because I'm not afraid to go into these spaces and speak truth to power and do it calmly and respectfully. I'm not personally attacking the host there. I'm just presenting the point of view that is representative of all the people supporting our campaign, so many people across the United States. I mean, there is a reason that we're seeing so many democratic, socialist and progressive primary challengers winning these races by standing up to AIPAC and refusing to bow to the party line when it comes to the unquestioning support for Israel. So I think it is resonant exactly because we see the facts of the matter going up against the kind of stated prerogatives of corporate and mainstream media.
50:28And I think that's something that they're going to have to continue to contend with as, you know, they hand ring over why they have such declining influence. And people are looking at more independent media as an authoritative source for international issues. Yeah. Elijah, I know you've been busy, so I don't know if you saw this interview or not, but I took a lot of interest in Hakeem Jeffries, who's likely to be speaker if Democrats take the House, was questioned yesterday about Medicare for all specifically. And he said, no, you know, I don't support that. And to me, it just exposes how much of a disconnect there is between a lot of elected Democratic leadership, especially establishment leadership, and where the base of the party is.
51:06Because overwhelming majority of Democratic voters support Medicare for all, and they support an end to funding of Israel's genocide. So, you know, what are your reflections on those comments from Hakeem Jeffries and that disconnect between the leadership and where the base of the party is? Yeah, I actually just spoke about this in another interview. You know, I'm not surprised at all, but it does show a disconnect from the party leadership to the base. And I just don't understand this idea where we have to give light and breath to Republican talking points and to Republican arguments about the Democratic Party.
51:42Our base wants Medicare for all. Our base wants us to stop genocide and stop funding it. Like all the polling says this, that's where the people are. That's where even more than half of the members of Congress in our caucus are at this point. And so Hakeem Jeffries needs to catch up with the rest of the party or he does not need to be the leader if he cannot lead the party in a direction it needs to go. I mean, you know, you're getting ready to be the Speaker of the House of Representatives and you're telling us what we can't do. You're supposed to be showing the vision of what Democratic Party can do when we have the majority.
52:13We're going to fight for Medicaid for all. We're going to stop illegal wars. Like, what is he doing? I mean, Republicans, when they take power, you never catch a Republican saying, we can't do this, we won't do this, I don't agree with this. They're locked up behind their fascist agenda. They're always talking about what they're going to do, and they see no impediment in their way of their agenda. And so he needs to figure out what's going on in his head and figure out what we're doing. But I'm not happy that we have a Democratic leader telling the base and telling the party, no, preemptively, we're not going to fight for something.
52:45Yeah, well, he's got a concept of a plan on health care, so don't worry, guys. Oliver, I have to ask you this question. This is Sagar likes to let me handle these intra-democratic party candidate discussions and debates. However, he did have one question for you in particular about your opponent, Jared Moskowitz. We can put F3 up on the screen. Sagar finds it incredibly distasteful that he is, I think, the founder of the Sneaker Caucus and loves to sport this kind of a fit as he's going about his official business. He's got these giant red Nikes on alongside of his suit. And so Sagar's wondering what your position is on this type of a look with the sneakers and suit combo.
53:29You know, there's a price tag attached to everything that Jared Moskowitz does in Congress, including the fact that he takes money from Nike's corporate PAC. So this bipartisan sneaker caucus is not just simply Jared Moskowitz being a sneakerhead. Look, I like fashion. I suppose I still have many of the same pairs of sneakers I had in high school. I haven't grown very much since then. So I'm not someone who collects sneakers the way that Jared Moskowitz does, but it really is. It's the money in politics. I hate to harp on it and always bring it back to money in politics, but everything this man does in Congress, it's with a price tag attached.
54:05And that includes the bipartisan sneaker caucus. And I just, what is there to say? He's trying to make common cause with Republicans. Look, it's not to say that there's no reason to make common cause with Republicans. Look at what Ro Khanna and Thomas Massey have been able to accomplish together. I think there's a tremendous opportunity to work with the other side, but But just trying to shill for a corporation, I don't think that's what the people of South Florida's 25th District are looking for. Man, that was some Zoran level of keeping it on message, Oliver. Very impressive. Elijah, feel free to weigh in on Jared Moskowitz's attire, but also let people know where they can support your campaign and find out more.
54:45I'm going to be honest. I think the sneakers are ugly. It may be an unpopular position, so I don't like the look. I think it's probably a pretty popular position, actually. The way he's not pulling it off, I would say. Let's put dress shoes on. Come on. Like, I mean, him, Fetterman with the, put the suit on. I'm sorry. Like, you're a member of Congress. Wear the sneakers. Like, maybe you're not there. But, like, everything these people do are suspect. Completely. All right, gentlemen. Let people know, Oliver, you first, and then you, Elijah, where they can find out more and support your campaigns.
55:17Election day is tomorrow. Yeah, www.oliverforcongress.com. Our district spans Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties from Delray Beach in the north all the way down to Miami Beach in the south. So if you live on the coastline, come out and vote for us or go vote for Elijah. But OliverForCongress.com is where you can find everything you need to for our campaign. And www.elijahmanley.com. We still need some phone banking support if you can and donations as well. There's been about 400 ,000 in APAS spending in just a week. So we need all the help. Well, that means they're taking you guys seriously.
55:51So thank you so much for spending some time. Good luck tomorrow. I know you're very busy. So we really appreciate you taking the opportunity to speak to the audience. Absolutely. Thanks, Crystal. All right. That does it for us here today. Sagar and I will be back here tomorrow. So we will see you then. Thank you.
