And Chuck Schumer just supported that.

And by the way, I think only seven or eight percent of Democrats per a poll in August of last year support Israel's military action in Gaza.

So the leader of the Democrats in the Senate went against 80 percent of his own caucus to support Israel.

And he went against around 90% of his own elected base.

And we're not even talking about independents who are way closer to those numbers than the Republicans are.

Republican boomers are buoying support for Israel.

But Chuck Schumer came into politics as a creature of big money.

And the Democrats made a conscious choice with making him leader to go more in that direction.

For as much as they talk about how, oh, we can't extrapolate Zoran's win to the rest of the country, that's from liberal New York City.

Well, then why are the leaders of the Democrats in the Senate and the House both from New York?

And you know why?

Because they're fundraisers.

And since Citizens United, when money was equated to speech and any encumbrance upon or anything

restrictions on moneyed speech would be considered a First Amendment violation.

There has been such an explosion of dark money where over, it was like 1.4 billion or something in dark money was spent in 2024.

We have no idea where that came from.

and so it caused the democrats to reorient themselves towards a party that prioritized fundraising over people power but the republicans will always win the capitalist money they will always win that battle we are literally in a rigged game that's against the democrats and we have leadership that's invested in the game continuing to be rigged and so it needs to change for fascism to actually be defeated here and we're not it's not a foregone conclusion whatsoever

Sorry if that was long-winded.

I that story about the dogs is a real story.

It's one of the ones that I almost it's difficult for me to even repeat because I've heard you've heard the first person testimony of some of these Palestinian prisoners who have been.
