“Yeah, anti establishment cranks. There's a lot of them. There's the Tulsi Gabbard constituency, which is like marginal. It's not all that significant. But yeah, I think that the online left is not as robust a media ecosystem as people think it is in general. And besides that, they don't have any sort of political motion regardless, right? You know, I have disagreements with the closest Congress members that are ideologically as closely aligned with myself as possible, but I still have many disagreements with them. And outside of that, I think these guys that, you know, like RFK Jr., because they think he's going to make America healthy again, you know, they're just, they just like the crank stuff. Yeah. That's what it is”

“Then you have to say these corporations and the wealthy that have given us money as well as the Republican Party and always have been hedging their bets are the real reason why you're feeling this economic anxiety. The real reason why you feel hopeless that you will never be able to own a home, that you'll never be able to retire. And the Republicans are always in defense of them. They will distract you with lies. They will say your fellow neighbors, you know, your God-fearing Christian, Muslim, whatever, Jewish neighbors are your enemy when in fact We know what the problem is. So we're going to bring them to heal. This kind of messaging is terrifying, obviously, for many different reasons, and it will never happen within the Democratic Party. But in the absence of that,”

“Ronald Reagan, you know, stock buybacks and the like, market manipulation of all different sorts. And we're constantly deregulating the economy. And I think that it's not just about having a populist message. It's about actually implementing said populist message and show who your real enemies are. Not be afraid to say these people are fucking your life up. And if you are truly the pro-working class party as the Democrats want to be, as they claim they were historically, right? And there were certainly times when they were.”

“And I think that's part of the reason why they're going to do that. The other reason is it's a regressive tax, it's a broad sales tax on all consumers that disproportionately affects the working poor and Republicans love that shit. He also at times, I think, will just institute the Defense Production Act or something. Like, we'll see it. We kind of saw it in COVID as well when it was a necessity. But that's the thing. The American government is powerful. All governments are powerful, but the American government is especially powerful. It's the wealthiest nation on the planet. And the way that it runs is basically, it's like 50 companies in a trench coat where you are working at the behest of corporations. We feed them with our tax dollars that turn into subsidies for them. They utilize those subsidies to, I guess, lower production costs, but then they use that to increase their profit margins and engage in what used to be illegal pre-run.”

“What do I think Trump will do in the process? He'll obviously use tariffs To basically get corporations and industry and sector leaders on board with his agenda.

“I think you'll see what happens when effectively bullies corporations, regardless of being a right-wing Republican in the upcoming Trump administration, things are going to get significantly worse for every single person, including the people that voted for Donald Trump. One of the funniest aspects of the tariffs conversation that's happening right now is that Donald Trump is going to implement broad tariffs on 45% of all trade that comes in and out of the United States of America. Mexico, Canada, and China comprise 45% of all trade. He wants to tariff every single one. Tariffs are obviously an entry fee that the American corporations are going to be paying. None of the countries are going to be paying for these tariffs. It's a policy that's going to destroy dropshippers, which overwhelmingly vote for Donald Trump, and the Trump merchandise industry. So that's pretty funny. But having said that, it's going to be devastating for the economy.”

“I still defend the Afghan withdrawal, by the way. And I think the Democrats also dropped the ball on that too because they should have stood 10 toes down and said that was the right thing to do. We exhibited political courage. And for the record, Republicans tried to do a 13, you know, the 13 of our best soldiers died in Afghanistan thing over and over again. The cynical thing that they tried to do.”

“For a lot of Americans, they saw that as like you're weak, you're old, you're weak, you're feeble, and you're getting dogwalked by an American ally in a very public and very embarrassing way. And there's a metric ton of violence that's happening on top of that. Like he ironically destroyed the goodwill that a lot of people had coming in to his administration.

“Same thing with Israel, Palestine, they look to what is going on and they're like, this is insane. Biden will come out and say, or used to come out and say, you know, we're going to do a two-state solution. Benjamin and now, the next day would be like, fuck the two state. What do you mean? How about no state? Literally, the next day And Biden kept trying to do this thing where he was like finger wagging, where he's like, oh, I'm really, I'm going to give him a heart to heart, you know, real man-to-man.”

“But Joe Biden was like, I am the adult in the room, Jack. I'm going to bring back America into the global stage. The way that the American public sees that is like there's war in Ukraine, right? And that's not even Joe Biden's fault. I understand that. That's Vladimir Putin decided I'm going to do the insane thing. I'm going to invade Ukraine. That's psychotic, right? But the way that people see it, they're like, why are we giving money to Ukraine when we're not fixing the potholes? Why are we giving money to Ukraine when the ISBs suck here? What the hell's going on? Why are we giving money to Ukraine where we don't have health care? We have homeless people everywhere. And then on top of that, they see that instability as like something that is Joe Biden's fault. Fair or unfair doesn't matter. They attribute it to Joe Biden.”

“Of course, people are going to go, all right, I guess I'm primed into now believing the Republicans. You're pushing your base towards being more open-minded to right-wing policies. It's the only thing you're doing. And that's how, and that's the only thing you're doing when you don't actually claw back a lot of the things that the Republicans, the former Republican administration engages in. Like Democrats are very good at, you know, trying to fix the deficit. They're the only real deficit hawks, right? Republicans certainly don't care. They only use it as a weapon to wield, to communicate against the Democratic agenda. But outside of that, like on foreign policy, Joe Biden said he was going to be an effective foreign policy leader. He did NATO. He kept talking about, you know, NATO Jack, Aucus, as though that was going to be.”

“But one month asked the question why is that acceptable? Liz Cheney is anti LGBT, Liz Cheney is anti abortion, Liz Cheney is anti-democratic party, Lish Cheney is the daughter of a rabid warmongering terrorist sociopath Dick Cheney, and yet there are Democrats who are more comfortable with her than people who also would totally be on board with the Democratic Party, but I don't know have maybe sometimes identical opinions of Liz Cheney on even LGBT issues like Joe Rogan is a great example of this. The Democratic Party has consistently utilized and weaponized in the most cynical ways possible identity politics. And I say this as someone who was infinitely more progressive than the average Democrat on these issues. They just use it. They use it against Bernie. They use it against it against every single person. And now they're dropping it themselves.”

And in the process, he utilized the bully pulpit to laser John McCain nonstop and effectively bully John McCain in a way that I've never seen a Democratic president turn around and communicate about Joe Biden. I'll hear it about the left, about how they're naysayers, how their spoilers. I never hear it about conservative Democrats. And I think it's the talk about that.”

“Older black populations, like older black voters as a voting bloc, is a more reliable voting block for the Democratic Party than younger black voters are. One must ask the question why? That is because people remember the last time the Democratic Party did something for black people, did something bold, expended social and political capital for black people. And that is something that people do not forget. If you give people things, they will not forget that. That's why there was a lot of dummies who thought, oh, Trump's bag. We're going to get some stimmy checks. It's not going to happen, but they still remember that because they think, oh, yeah, Trump gave us stimmy checks. I mean,”

“Why did that happen? Why was Amlo so popular? And why is Claudia Scheinbaum also incredibly popular? Why did Claudia Sheinbaum win the election with even larger margins of victory than Amlo did? It's because they expanded the welfare state, they increased minimum wage, and they made a whole bunch of decisions that genuinely improved the material conditions of a lot of people in Mexico. And that's something that people will never forget. We talked about the black vote for a second. As far as voter patterns goes,”

“It's Nazi Germany. Straight up, it's just pure fascism. That's all this is. It worked 100 years ago, and it seemingly working right now, and it's not just the United States of America. It's all across Western Europe. The only country that bucked the trend of the incumbency disadvantage seemingly was Mexico. One must ask the question why an old doddering man who was still relatively telegenic, even though he believed in wood elves, duendes, was able to get a tremendous amount of popularity and then become the transition candidate that actually passed the torch to a younger woman, Claudia Scheinbaum. I'm of course talking about Mexico. I'm talking about Amlo is the old man. Claudia Scheinbaum was his spiritual and ideological successor in the Morena party.”

“I think that when you don't do that, when you have this very technocratic third way neoliberal approach, but you sprinkle in a little bit of like anti-corporate anti-billionaire populism that Joe Biden certainly did, you're a rudderless ship. You're not communicating effectively like what you are about. And when you don't have a North Star that every single person can point to and say, this is what the party is about, your enemies can portray you as whatever they want. And that's why the anti-trans ads are even remotely effective. Because you can make the Democratic Party look clownish and inconsistent and even silly and hyper-focused on whatever key issues there are because, one, they rarely ever focus on universality and programs. Everything has to be means tested, which I think is both on the policy front and on the policy.”

“In the interest of the American working class. Joe Biden said he wanted to do the public option. Everybody knew that wasn't real. He never talked about it after. He used the public option. He slotted that in in the primaries when the party was primed to the Bernie left and everyone was like, you know, trying to communicate their own populist version of what Bernie was doing. And, you know, Joe Biden won the primaries and effectively tabled the discussion about healthcare. This is still a major problem regardless. Yes, negotiating pharmaceutical prices and ensuring that insulin prices are capped at $35, which is now going to be looking like a Trump victory when he's in office. It doesn't matter. It's still good for the American people. So that's great. But that is good, but that's not enough. And I think that.”

“They actually ended up protecting the Republican Party because they were never going to vote for these bills anyway. And now the entire conversation was about like, you know, madness within the Democratic Party's caucuses. Like, oh, they can't get their ducks in a row, right? Like that was genuinely frustrating to me because it's like, if you don't, if you had whipped your votes immediately, then you could showcase that the Republican Party is standing in the way of progress. But that's just like that is legislative minutiae. What is more important to talk about is broad sweeping legislative changes or agenda that might even come across as bold and radical.”

“Yeah, there are a million examples, however, of Republicans that are obstructionists that I'm sure you also love presenting that go back to their town halls and lie about all the money that they brought back home. Absolutely. We now know that political polarization is set in a way that never really existed in American history until the last couple of decades, right? I think that parties originally were more geopolitically focused on their immediate needs like statewide needs. So you saw this dramatic shift and now the Republican Party, especially with Mitch McConnell under the Obama administration, showcased that permanent obstructionism is not punishable and that gridlock is always considered the administrative party's problem. If there's any sort of gridlock, it's the fault of the leadership. And Americans hate gridlock. That's kind of the reason why I was talking about...”

You can't say that these guys are fascists.

“Yeah, sure. But for the most part, the broad communication coming out of the Democratic Party is that these are the things that they care about. These are the top line issues. We got to protect democracy. We've got to preserve our institutions. The problem is the other side doesn't give a shit about that. So I think I want a Democratic Party that fights for me and others who are marginalized, other people that desperately need help. And I know that the Republican Party is never going to do that. I'm not one of those guys who's like, oh, well, you know, at least I at least the Republicans are kind of listening to what I have to say or are, you know, communicating, channeling the anger that I feel. Like, I don't care. They're charlatans. They're significantly worse than the Democratic Party. I don't like the Democratic Party for their closeness to the Republican Party. I want them to be a party that actually fights for the working class, for all Americans unconditionally, regardless of ideology. And you can't do that through bipartisanship with an otherwise.”

“That was more progressive than I expected from more progressive than even the Obama administration in many respects. But one, they didn't do a good job of communicating any of those victories, in my opinion. They did not actually go to the media regularly to show these victories and to showboat and gloat a little bit to a lot of that was also held up in gridlock because we didn't whip votes well enough within our own party. And I think that there was a lot of punishments that should have been dished out to the likes of Joe Mansion and the likes of Kirsten Cinema rather than offering a green senator an opportunity to be a prominent fixture of the Democratic Party. I think that a lot more punishments should have been issued towards these people that use the moment in the spotlight to specifically play the role of a rotating villain in the Democratic Party, which has happened time and time again, all the way from Joe Lieberman to the”

Why doesn't the homeless person understand that their situation is much better? That is not an effective way to communicate to Americans that like, no, you don't understand inflation is actually under control, that the economy is rebounding, even if it's objective truth, because they Like most Americans don't understand what inflation is and they don't understand that prices are not going to go down in that circumstance.

“Current Democratic Party. Yeah. Something that is an understandable, easy to communicate, simple policy that you can put your campaign around. So we agree on the messaging front a little bit, at least, or the asymmetry of how much right-wing media dominates the ecosystem, the media ecosystem in general, all the way from independent outlets down to traditional media where as far as I understand it, 73% now, I think, of all news watchers are watching Fox News. 73%. That's an insane percentage. That's an insane number, right? So outside of that, though, I think here is the disagreement that we will have, that while Joe Biden did a bunch of stuff that I agree was positive, it was simply not enough.

I don't care if it's a constitutional crisis or not. All of this stuff was insanely messed up and the federal government dropped the ball. I think the Biden administration dropped the ball by not adding additional funds immediately sending additional funds immediately to places like Chicago and New York and to figure out a better way to transition a lot of these people and integrate them into the American labor force. And instead, they just got stuck in this like legal limbo for no reason.”

“Built around a complete falsehood that undocumented migrants are responsible for incredible amounts of crime. It's not correct. There is no data to suggest this. The data actually shows the exact opposite. Undocumented migrants or your neighbors, they contribute to the economy in very meaningful ways, and they very, rarely take anything in return. Why is the Democratic Party not pushing this counter-narrative? And they never did. Instead of pushing that counter-narrative, which is based in truth and talk about how undocumented migrants are responsible for less crime per capita, then natural-born U.S. citizens are, or that fentanyl being trafficked across the US borders are actually not coming in the knapsack of otherwise law-abiding abuela, but instead it's coming from regular points of entry trafficked by American citizens. 90% of the people that are being apprehended for chemical compounds necessary for fentanyl or direct drugs that they're trafficking across the border are American citizens.”

“So, yes and no. I do agree. There are plenty of things that Joe Biden did, like beefing up the NLRB and letting the FTC reign hell upon. These monopolies. There's two issues there though. One is, I think, something that you will agree with as well, that the Democrats don't campaign year-round in the same way that Republicans do on key issues, and they do have a massive communication problem. That could potentially be solved by having a more robust ecosystem and more collaboration with even the likes of yourself and maybe even someone like myself as well. And they need to always be on. They need to always be counter messaging against the anti-immigration sentiment. I went back and looked at my commentary from February of 2021 when the story of the Customs and Border Patrol Haitian migrants getting whipped by horseback customs and border patrol people officers was in the news. And I remember talking about how the Republicans are going to keep hitting the immigrants or doing crime note over and over again because that's the one thing that they have. And it's...”

“Are doing crimes left and right. Black and brown people, undocumented migrants that are doing incredible amounts of crimes. They're killing hundreds of thousands of Americans and trans people. And the Democratic Party only cares about those people and they don't care about you. And that message resonates with a base of support, not because they are intrinsically evil. That message resonates with a base of support because they're angry and one of the two major parties is not even remotely interested in addressing that anger and trying to tell them what the solution to that anger actually is and what the real problem is.”

“Sleeping outside every night, the idea that we have, the concept of medical bankruptcy is an insane phenomenon that doesn't exist in any other OECD nation. The fact that 60% of the American public doesn't have $400 in emergency spending, these are all very real economic anxieties. I'm using that term specifically because it's one thing that people like to hyper focus on, that creates volatility, that creates instability, and it creates a base of angry people. And if the Democratic Party is not addressing that anger and addressing their material problems and earnestly telling them, like, we're going to fix that shit, okay? And the other side is looking at that anger and saying, we're going to channel your anger. You have every right to be angry. And you know who you should be angry at? Those who have less than you. You know who you should be angry at the working poor, the homeless people.”

“That's one thing, okay? But that should not be a campaign killer. If you personally think that that's a campaign killer, then your campaign is weak. This message across the board should never be able to end a single campaign. Then Teflon Don is real. I mean, the man had the grab him by the pussy tape come out as the October surprise in 2016, and he still won. And since then, there has been a litany of different controversies, including but not limited to straight up undermining American democracy by doing January 6th. And yet people are still voting for him. And what must ask the question, why? And I think overall, the same exact problems that persisted in 2016 when the economy was seemingly very good, right, especially as opposed to like the post-COVID economy and its recovery. People were still very frustrated with what was going on. The notion that in the wealthiest nation on earth we have 600,000 people.”

“Hyper focused on these key constituencies despite the fact that polls were seeming. You can have hundreds of thousands of people all across the country door knocking. But if the top-down message that you're communicating is not resonating with people, then you're not going to be able to win an election. You're not going to have the effective turnout necessary to win this election. And that is precisely what happened. Now, does that mean that Trump's messaging was good? Of course not. It wasn't. It was actually pretty bad. And I would even go so far as to say the anti-trans ads were actually a distraction and not good. It was only effective in the DC bubble, I think, and the consultant bubble and the media class that saw those ads and were like, oh my God, this is an incredible ad like they really ruin Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris had a silly answer to an ACLU questionnaire. Okay. That just shows that she is not the most experienced politician. This was all the way back in, I believe, 2020, right? She literally had to drop out of the primary anyway at that time.”

“Here's the thing. I think it's an incorrect interpretation, an incorrect autopsy to look back at a thing that the Democratic Party did not do at all and then say it's actually that reason. It's not anything that we did so far. It's not that we tack to the right over and over again despite people like myself and many others saying like, don't do this. You're going to hemorrhage the base. You're going to hemorrhage the base of support. You are going to cut away at your turnout. You're going to cut across many different constituencies that you rely on to create an effective coalition. And it's a very dangerous gamble to assume that you can decouple a lot of these people in the suburbs, a lot of like white women specifically away from the Republican Party and vote for you instead. I know that they're high propensity voters, but it doesn't matter. There's still plenty of low propensity voters that you have to rely on to win. And that's precisely what the Democratic Party did.”

“Like, that's the one that got everyone's attention, but I said this on CNN last night, that you can't really podcast your way out of this problem. Like having, you know, there was that one tweet saying like, oh, we just have 100 Pot Save Americas, but they all have to look like Hassan. Like, that's not how this works.”

“Really, anyone with that level of television presence on the Democratic Party front, I think the most skilled order in the Democratic Party's ranks in the last couple of decades was obviously Barack Obama and outside of that, I think like in a lot of instances, purely from an optics point of view, Democrats track is like technocratic, elitist, too serious about everything that they talk about. And there's certainly a lot of that on the Republican Party side as well. And we've seen failed initiatives from establishment Republicans that try to recreate the Trump phenomenon with the likes of Rhonda Santis. And that was a massive failure. But ultimately, I think this goes beyond podcasts. This is something that I've been talking about quite frequently. I know the podcast thing is like the most.”
