on a California-wide level harm reduction initiatives to actually help people prevent them from dying from ODing.
And so Cenk and Anna are squarely in that centrist category.
And they hate being called that because they've spent most of their careers railing against Nancy Pelosi, railing against even people like Gavin Newsom, although they are actually to the right of Newsom on a lot of things.
but they get heralded as these liberals and they're everything but.
These are people who want to, again, have a beer with Charlie Kirk, you know, RIP.
They want to, you know, they literally will say that, you know, the left has gone crazy, they're out of their minds, and because they're good on one issue or maybe two issues,
Everyone gives them a pass and they still kind of get to go through the world as if they haven't said incredibly problematic and hurtful things.
In the example of Anna, as you mentioned, of course your audience was pissed because she, which is ironic, she spent so much time saying,
Culture wars are really a distraction from the main war against the 1%.
And yet for the past five years, she has been on a slow decline into there should be limits on where trans people get to exist, right?
She's against trans athletes, which is like, cool, you're against five people, fun, you know, real popular position there.
And she's, you know, lately talked about and really
lied about things like trans people in dressing rooms, trans people in locker rooms, that actually there was a man in a locker room once, and all of these things that actually really are, and Jen, you know this, just straight up right wing proud boys, like fucking reactionary psychotic extremist shit to say.
Because again, this is a permission structure to dehumanize people,
uh and so it's trans people one day it's immigrants the next day it's unhoused people it's people of color it's women it doesn't matter this is what we call solidarity and we don't throw anyone under the bus if you're a real leftist if you're real progressive they sadly have jake and i have an hour-long debate on my show the habituation room you guys can go watch that you can go watch that jen if you want to see a grown man yelling a lot and getting very flustered because he believed in this interim
between Trump winning again and Trump assuming office, that all we needed to do was come together with the right and find common cause.
Well, that common cause, again, is often over the bodies of real people, people who are dying, people who are in the crosshairs, people who
are being dragged off of planes because they have an alarm going off on their phone that tells them to pray.
