Hasan Piker

You look at like some of the most conservative places in like Virginia or West Virginia even.

And you poll them on things like what do you think about the DSA?

What do you think about Israel?

And it's like they're –

a lot closer to me than they are to an establishment Democrat, right?

And the same goes for Medicare for all.

So like the idea that we have not also polarized in the exact same way that the Republicans have is very silly.

We're in a very different political environment now and we're in a very different media environment right now.

And it's actually mainstream media that's trying to play catch up.

It's actually the establishment Democrats that are trying to play catch up to where the public is actually at.

Most people don't care about this stuff.

They see the clips and they go, okay, that sounds kind of crazy.

Let me go check this guy out.

And then they hear what I have to say because I'm not a political operative that doesn't have his own platform.

I'm a political operative with his own platform that is competitive with these other platforms that are speaking over me.

So I'm endlessly accessible.

You can just come and see what I have to say, see what I'm about, and very quickly realize that perhaps the way that I'm being presented in mainstream news is maybe not the right way.

Maybe it's a little bit of a manufactured outrage campaign.

And one example I'll use is this.

I was monitoring the situation on my flight back from Michigan to Los Angeles, which apparently some agent of Laura Loomer took a photo of me sleeping, which was so crazy.
