1:13Angie Sullivan:Okay, we did it. But in Michigan, Abdul Al-Sayed wins the primary, taking on almost 70 million dollars in AIPAC money. And the people have won. This is absolutely groundbreaking for the Democratic Party. You're going to hear establishment preservationist Democrats saying, oh, Abdul can't win in the general election. And this is horseshit. It is horseshit because look no further than New York. And when Zoran Mamdani took on AIPAC, took on the oligarchs, took on all of the MAGA-funded Democrats and Republicans, and he won. Why are they winning? Because the people are sick of politicians whoring themselves out to corporations.

2:01Angie Sullivan:And that's exactly what Haley Stevens did. There's going to be all sorts of bedwetting within the Democratic Party. But here's the situation. It's not that the DSA is trying to rebrand the Democratic Party. It's that the corporate preservationists have rebranded the Democratic Party away from being a party of the working class and a party for the people. How on earth can Haley Stevens have taken 60, 70 million dollars in PAC money and even look in a camera and say, yeah, I'm here to fight for Michiganders? Hopefully, this is a movement that we can recapture the Democratic Party and take it back to being the party of the people, the party of the New Deal with Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

2:48Angie Sullivan:I am so happy to have woken up this morning in London and seen this news. Congratulations to our friend Abdul Al-Sayed on a really fantastically run campaign. You were outspent 11 to 1. You stood on principle. You stand on universal human rights. You stand to bring the Democratic Party back to a political party that doesn't service the same factions that service MAGA. and Chuck Schumer should be on notice because your handpicked candidate who saw Israel in her dreams, she lost. She lost because Americans want politicians that stand for us, that govern for us and stop with the corporate handouts.

3:36Angie Sullivan:Stop playing patty cake with fascists. All right, I'm gonna leave you all in good hands with pumps, Kylie and Ryan. I'm about to board a plane. I'll be back on the channel tomorrow, but I just had to record something. I hope I did it right. Gen Xer, I got up, tried to log in to the streaming. I think I'm recording it properly. Anyway, this is great news. There's some great clips from Ted Cruz having a meltdown. And then there's another hilarious clip of Trump talking about how he's a clean person. So Kylie and Ryan, find those clips, play them for pumps, because she'll have a lot to say about both of those.

4:16Angie Sullivan:But this is a great, great day. Come on. We have got to get the Democratic Party back to the party of FDR and stop with the corporate preservationists that treat the electorate in such a patronizing way, because the people do not want to be governed like this. And in Michigan, it shows again, congrats to Abdul. Okay, pumps. You heard the sheriff. So she wanted to show you a couple of clips after this amazing win last night. So here is Trump warning about socialism coming to blue cities. Never thought of it. You know, one thing I said the other day for the first time ever, never thought of it. But you go to these cities that are taken over by the socialists and the communists.

4:58They're always filthy dirty. They're disgusting. They're always dirty. And, you know, I'm a clean person and people I know are clean. And you are. I know you very well. You're very clean. But aside from crime, aside from all of the other problems, no jobs, no anything, no money, they're always filthy, disgusting, dirty. And that's what you'll get. This coming from a man that has sex with anybody that will walk, number one. That's A. Number two, just because you're a germaphobe doesn't mean you're clean. And he's eating fucking McDonald's every night and leaving his trash on the ground. That's not the important part of this.

5:42The important part of this is the average viewer on Fox News doesn't understand the difference between socialism and communism. And what the Trump regime is doing, taking stakes. And Trump says, for me. So I ask you, is that for the American people or is it going into his pocket? he has the most communist policies by taking stake in these companies so there's a difference between communists and socialism that he does not fundamentally understand and here's the deal if you are so miserable in big blue cities is that why you lived in new york your whole life until they told you go fuck yourself we're tired of your bullshit is that why the majority of blue cities float all the Bible Belt super red majority states because they have industry, because they have diversity, because they value people that work.

6:43So with all due respect to the president of the United States, I will issue a challenge. Let's both get a clean washcloth. And I will take a washcloth and I will wipe my entire face with the washcloth. And then I want Trump to take a white washcloth, go over his face, and we'll see who's cleaner. Because this man is not only morally, ethically, and criminally dirty, he's a fucking bad hygiene in the making. So shut the fuck up is what I have to say about that. I think also apart from the clear hypocrisy of Trump clearly being a dirty person, it's the dehumanizing rhetoric about blue cities. I mean, this is, these are things that we've heard him say before that we have, you know, vermin coming into our country.

7:36it follows a pattern of that type of rhetoric and it's meant to you know otherize people he's specifically talking about candidates abdul al-sayed in this case and he said that blue cities there's no money uh they're filthy dirty disgusting no one wants to live there we just there's a new report out uh in the new york post kylie if you can pop this up Ken Griffin to stick with Park Ave skyscraper plans despite Mamdani's personal attack anti-business policies. This is the New York Post. Kylie Pumps, what do you think about that? I think this is a really good example of what we're talking about with Abdul and these candidates that they're really scared of.

8:21Mamdani is another one that they're going to throw all of this racist and horrible rhetoric around because they're scared of them and they're winning. and these blue cities, Momdani attacked Griffin publicly. Griffin melted down, said he didn't feel safe. This was endangering my life. Threw a big fit that he was going to pull his company out. And guess what always happens? The same thing of all the millionaires that were going to leave when Momdani got elected. He's now sticking with his business. He's going to build the skyscraper. That's what we're going to see in Michigan. We're going to see positive impact.

8:52So they have to throw out that it's dirty and that there's no money because they have no other argument. Which is exactly opposite of the facts. I mean, do you think that Oklahoma City has enough revenue and Tulsa to support the state of Oklahoma? No, it comes from the contributions of blue cities. And that's what people don't understand. Without these blue cities, the U.S. economy drops because certain states run in the red. They cannot afford to operate without the blue cities and the blue states. And Trump lies about everything. We know that. But it's just interesting that as we come closer to the midterms, as you see more progressive candidates winning, it's, you know, it used to be the boogeyman of immigrants.

9:41Now it's the boogeyman of socialism and communism. but trump's the communist trump is the one that's being a communist so with all due respect to everybody that supports trump fucking do your research and you'll understand the difference between the two and with the wealth disparity and the inequality see what you think with an open mind just just educate yourself a little bit which i know is like it's asking a lot yeah it's I'm asking you a lot. I get it. Okay. Um, we've got Ted Cruz absolutely melting down on Fox over progressive wins. That where the energy is. They want to cancel Thanksgiving.

10:26They're crazy enough. Yes. They want to cancel Thanksgiving. They want to cancel Christmas. Look, these communists hate America. They hate capitalism. El Sayed is also an Islamist as is Mondami. And look, you see the green-red convergence where the communists and the Islamists, they want Sharia law. Whatever. I, our friend Matt Bernstein, he said it best about this. When they start like saying that we're coming for Christmas and fear-mongering that minorities want to cancel Thanksgiving, it means good things are on the horizon. Right. It means we have gone to the lowest, the absolute lowest. Like he's going to cancel Thanksgiving.

11:08What are you talking about? The thing about Thanksgiving, it's been whitewashed in history, you know, since I was a kid, and I would assume before that. But these people are so fragile. They don't want to hear what the people coming from Europe did to the Native Americans. They just want to push that under the rug. And they're coming for Christmas. Shut the fuck up. We have states that require the Ten Commandments to be put in schools. So I ask you, do you really think it's under attack that much? Do you really think that they're going to go with, you know, do away with Christmas? And I'll just say this again.

11:51I feel like I'm repeating myself. Ted Cruz, he throws out, they're communist. Bitch, look at the top of the ticket. Look what Donald Trump is doing. at least 12 companies. Trump has taken a stake in those while president. That, my friend, is communism by definition. So Ted, I know you're wetting the bed. I know you're scared that Tallarico is going to, you know, beat your big buddy Ken Paxton, who's just a fucking fraud criminal, just like Trump. But you can't and have the ability to know better because unfortunately, and despite all evidence to the contrary, Ted Cruz is not as dumb as he sounds and acts.

12:36But Ted Cruz knows that if you put a boogeyman in front of people, they will go out and vote Republican. And that that is the only thing that galvanizes Republicans to vote other than Donald Trump's fat ass, because they're terrified of communists and Sharia law. And here's the deal. in this country, in the United States of America, I'm going to go on record. I'm far more worried about white Christian nationalism than I am Sharia law, period. Yeah. What stands out to me is how normalized this Islamophobia is on Fox News. I mean, I know it's not new for a lot of Muslims living in this country, but Ted Cruz is almost saying this as if it's Islamist, as if it's a derogatory thing.

13:24Yes, he's Muslim. He would be the first Muslim senator in the history of the U.S. Senate. And he stands for getting health care for all people, for getting dark money out of politics, for abolishing ICE, things that most of the Democratic base agrees with. And he made a really uniting speech at his election night party last night. And I just want to play a clip of that. This is the person that they're so scared of. And Israel are not the same as Judaism and the Jewish people.

14:05I love Judaism and I love the Jewish people. I venerate Judaism and I venerate the Jewish people. I stand with Judaism and I stand with the Jewish people. And the single most dangerous thing that they've tried to tell us is that somehow they can extend the definition of anti-Semitism to include a foreign government and its leaders. I call bullshit no.

14:37He's exactly right. And here's the thing with all this. You have all these Christian white nationalists that are like, we want to ship people off. We want to control women's bodies. We want to tell women they have to stay home. They can't be in the workforce. And then you contrast that with an elected Muslim leader in New York City who is freezing rents. He's helping people afford childcare. He's making transportation more accessible. So if you look at the values that have been enacted through policy by a Muslim and a white Christian nationalist, let's say Mike Johnson, for example, who's kicking people out of the roles of Medicaid and Medicare in his district, who does not want hungry children to eat a school lunch.

15:26That's the contrast that they're making. But the reality is they're going against the brown skin. Again, the boogeyman theory. Shut up. Also, just to close it out, shout out to Abdul. We could not be happier. You wasted all of APEC's money. I want to see different. It's amazing. That's a huge takeaway for me is now you're in a situation where money from APEC is not. Yeah, it puts you on commercials, but it makes the voters say, I'm out. in what I'm seeing are people that are looking up and saying, okay, if she's taking that much money from APAC, I can't vote for her. And that is going to be huge in the midterms, in my opinion.

16:11I agree. All right, pumps, close it out. All right, please pre-order Jen's new book, Not Today Fascists. The link is below in the show notes. It's going to be the biggest hit of 2026, And it is a must read to understand where we are politically and how we got here.
