What this episode covers

Transcript: Charlie James: The left, they love to claim that Donald Trump is an authoritarian. They love to claim that. "Oh, Donald..." It's more like, "A-- Charlie, Donald Trump is an authoritarian, you know, he just-- he just wants to be a king." That's all he wants to do. Notice they-- they never say, "No dictators." They always say, "No kings," but they never say, "No dictators." Well, that's-- that's what they're going to have with their brand-new socialism. I mean, you want to-- you want to get rid of the Senate? You're going-- well, you want to get rid of the Supreme Court, or even worse, pack the Supreme Court? Well, somebody's got to lead all of that stuff, and that is going to be the benevolent dictator that they want to elect. They always talk about authoritarianism, but the strange thing about the left, if you notice, you can't disagree with them on anything. You have to be in with them, all of their ideology, whole cloth, 100%. No deviation whatsoever. I want you to listen to Hasan Piker. He's a-- he's a big ally of Abdul El-Sayed, who just won the Senate primary in-- in Michigan. I want you to listen to this guy talking about the Democrat Party while, by the way, wearing a Mao Zedong suit. Here we go. Hasan Piker (Audio Clip): ...no more to Trumpism, but no more to the Democrats who compromise, who conciliate, and who betray us! (Cheering and applause) No more to the fascist reactionaries, but no more to the Democrats who will collaborate and cooperate with the fascists, who will fund ICE, who will fund Israel, who will help poison the planet, who will stiff workers, and help bosses! We don't need those Democrats anymore! (Cheering and applause) In fact, I, no, WE have a message! We are coming! We are en masse! We're en route! We're unbound, and we will become undeniable! Charlie James: Ah, yeah! Undeniable! Yes, great dictator, thank you! Oh, benevolent one, we do appreciate that. So, Abdul El-Sayed defeated Haley Stevens, a so-called-- I love the way they describe her-- a moderate candidate. Well, if you look at-- at-- at, you know, Abdul El-Sayed, and you compare Haley Stevens with him, well, maybe she's moderate-ish for that side of the party. Now, remember, they're still on the radical left side of the party. So, maybe she's-- maybe she appears moderate when standing next to-- next to him. But listen to what Hasan Piker said about the people that did not vote for Abdul El-Sayed. Hasan Piker (Audio Clip): Like everyone being like, "Abdul has a fing ton of work to do mending bridges." Here's the fing take nuke for you, okay? You are all unbelievably Islamophobic pieces of s***, okay? (Laughter in clip) Charlie James: Yeah, yeah. Oh, if you didn't vote-- you see? You see how they do? It's always like that, 100%. You have to agree with them on everything-- everything, or you're cast out. You're-- you're done. So, there-- there is no mending fences with Abdul El-Sayed. There's certainly no mending fences with Hasan Piker. I want you to listen to what James Carville said. It's-- it's pretty amazing. This is how bad-- now, would you consider James Carville a moderate Democrat? No, not at all. He's out there on the left as well, but listen to what he says about Hasan Piker. James Carville (Audio Clip): ...and what's out there is, and I'm not sure what-- to understand what London is doing, but to talk about the larger Democratic Party post-the election in Michigan going forward. I am not going to be in the same party with Hasan Piker. I can tell you that right now. If he becomes a force in the Democratic Party, I'm out of here. I have no intention of ever being in the same political party with that guy. Now, I think that a majority, an overwhelming majority of Democrats agree with me, but this-- this idea that we're going to seize the means of production and this-- go-- just go look at the DSA platform. You don't have to look any further than that. And, you know, James, it may be that-- that tw ...
