It has actually led to a momentum behind anti-Semitism and anti-Semitic tendencies as well.

But for many others, there were people who falsely believed in his anti-war narratives, that they thought that there were people, at least among the podcaster base, that were like, oh, he would represent a change of attitude from the previous administrations and actually move in the anti-war direction.

Now, I personally thought that that was silly from the beginning because...

I was there when Donald Trump was president for the first four years of his presidency, when he very clearly wasn't the anti-war president at all.

And as a matter of fact, I think Joe Biden actually presented before October 7 a truer path towards being the anti-war candidate when he pulled out of Afghanistan, which was objectively a courageous thing to do, even though he was endlessly bullied for that perspective that he maintained.

So do I think that this actually is do I think that this is actually like a real change in attitude?

No, I think it's more reflective of the base actually moving away, the independents moving away, the people that took a shot in the dark at Donald Trump, who were privileged enough to believe that Donald Trump could represent this seismic shift.

in establishment politics who very quickly recognized that he is not representing this change at all.

People who thought maybe if he deports enough undocumented migrants, the criminal undocumented migrants as Donald Trump presented it, which was built around a lie to begin with, but that's a whole different story, that the economy would improve.

Now that the economy is not improving, they're realizing, OK, well, this is the same old business as usual politics and also more chaotic than at least the stability to a certain degree that the Democrats offered.

So they're recalculating.

And I think the podcasters are responding to that change in attitude from the base of support.

I'll just say, look, I want Hakeem Jeffries to fight back against Donald Trump.

Hopefully this will be a pivotal point in what I would rank as a somewhat weaker leadership role that Hakeem Jeffries has taken on in the oppositional framework that he's supposed to be advancing.

So this hopefully this lights a little bit more fire under him.

And he leans into the momentum that's coming from the base of the Democratic Party, where a lot of Democratic Party voters want Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer to fight back in more aggressive ways.

They're cucks, they're all cucks, especially Tim Scott too.

Like when he says this is the most racist thing he's seen out of his White House, like, yes, there's truth to this because it's like, it leaves no room for doubt what he is doing.

But like I repeatedly said, I mean, he campaigned on saying Haitians were eating cats and dogs.

JD Vance went on national television and said, sometimes you have to lie about things to get people to pay attention.
