If your vote has been treated like an entitlement instead of something that must be earned, it’s time to ask hard questions. Today's podcast argues that decades of political loyalty—especially among minority communities with Democrats and Liberals —can turn into “captive constituencies,” where fear-based messaging replaces measurable results. We point to long-running Democratic cities as evidence of broken systems, rising antisemitism and other race-based issues, arguing that communities are being pressured to stay aligned even when they should feel dismissed. Whether you agree or not, the core challenge is worth confronting: what would politics look like if every party had to compete for your vote again—on outcomes, not identity?

Groundhog Day And The Rant

SPEAKER_01

It's incredible, hey Stuart. It's it's a it's amazing how things go. It almost seems like groundhog day again, my friend.

SPEAKER_00

You know, I I'm gonna call this the plantation party break. Oh, let me ask you something. If a party, you know, took your vote every single election for 60 years and in return gave you higher crime, worse schools, crumbling cities, and now open anti-Semitism in your their own ranks, at what point do you stop calling that a political party? And what would you start calling it? It should be a cult, but anyways, a con, a con job. So let's let's get to the rant, right? The Democratic Party has built the most successful loyalty scam in history of American American politics. And the victims aren't faceless. They're black Americans, they're Jewish Americans, they're Hispanic Americans, and every minority group that was told from birth that Republicans want them dead, and the Democrat Party is the only one on their shot of survival. That is a lie. It's a deliberate, manufactured, careful, mainlined lie. And it's been extraordinarily profitable for all those Democrats like Nancy Pelosi. Let's not forget that nice scumbag. But but there's more. Let's start with black Americans. And I'm gonna base this off the Pew Research Center, right? So it's not just me saying it, David. Black voters have supported Democratic presidential candidates in the rate of 87 and 95% for over 45 years, maybe 50. That's not a voting block, that's a captive constituency. And let me tell you something, it's been delivered in return. Go look at Detroit, go look at Baltimore, go look at Chicago, Southside. Every single one of those cities has been run exclusively by Democrats for decades. And every single one of them is a masterclass in poverty, violence, and broken systems. You know, this isn't me saying it. This is U.S. Census Bureau poverty data. All right. Now, let's get where it gets

Minority Votes As Captive Power

SPEAKER_00

darker. Because the Democratic Party isn't just failing black and Hispanics. Now they're actively turning on their Jewish voters. And the Democrat senators said it out loud this week. You know, you know, Senator John Fetterman, the Pennsylvanian Democrat, went on the record May 12th and said there is a rising anti-Semitism problem within the Democratic Party, and it needs to be confronted. That's his statement, not mine, David, not yours. That's Fetterman's, one of the top Democrats in the party. Let that land on your face. A sitting Democrat senator is warning his own party about anti-Semitism. Not a Republican, not Fox News, not a Fox News anchor. A Democrat from Pennsylvania campaigned in a hoodie and told everyone he was a working class guy who got it. Yep. And let me tell you something, and this is why it's happening. Because the radical progressive wing, aka the squad, the DSA, the campus activists who are now running for office have made support for Hamas a litmus test for progressive credibility. If you support Israel's right to defend itself, you're now a colonizer, a racist, the enemy of the movement. And that's not me. That's also sourced from the Federalists and multiple reports of it. Now, let's go now to the ADL. Recorded 10,000 anti-Semitic incidents in 2023 alone. That's a record high in 23. And the numbers keep climbing. Unfortunately, I don't have a newer statistic. Jewish community centers are getting bomb threats monthly. Protesters are showing up outside synagogues, not Israeli embassies, not government buildings, synagogues, places of worship. The Democrat Party's response has been look at their feet and mumble both sides. Let's take a pause. When the Klan was in front of the churches in Alabama, when the Klan was in front of the churches throughout the South, where were the Democratic Party then? Here's the machine at work. Democrats told black Americans that Republicans were racist. Who would take everything from them? The Jewish Americans, the Republicans were dangerous nationalists who couldn't be trusted. They told the Hispanic Americans Republicans wanted to deport their families. They told every minority group they had exactly one option. The option was vote for Democrat Forever, don't ask any questions. For 60 years it's worked because the fear is the most powerful political tool ever invented. You don't need to deliver results if you can convince people that the alternative is alienation. Now let me drop the hammer.

October 7 And The Antisemitism Reckoning

SPEAKER_00

But something cracked on October 7th when Hamas slaughtered 1200 innocent civilians. Men, women, children, babies, elderly. The progressive left response was rip down on the hostage posters and march the street celebrating it. Jewish Democrats had to look in the mirror and ask them, is this still my party? And black conservatives for Hispanic Republicans, for every minority voter, has been told their entire life that thinking for themselves makes them a traitor. The answer is filing starting to come back in the very same way. It never was. David, I promised you I wasn't going to rant the entire time. And clearly I can keep going. I always normally hand off to you saying, give me three things. And I'm going to give you a few things. Because I want to put you know this captive. If the Democratic Party has held the minority votes for 60 years, whose fault is it really? Is it the party running the con or the voters keep buying it? Because at some point you have to ask when loyalty becomes complicity, or is it exploitation? Now, you in Canada, you have the NDP party popping up. Right? You've got Jewish communities being held hostage. You have bomb threats all over Montreal.

SPEAKER_01

The left no, no, no. That was that was erroneous your last statement. But okay, go on. There's not bomb threats. No, sorry. But go on, finish up your statement because I'm just curious.

SPEAKER_00

I have a down that there are bomb threats in Montreal. Okay. Since October 7th, there have been no bomb threats in Toronto and Montreal.

SPEAKER_01

You said Montreal, I didn't say Toronto.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I focused on you because you're Montreal.

SPEAKER_01

But as Montreal, I'm yes, in Toronto, in Toronto, absolutely. There have been oh that's right.

SPEAKER_00

I'm sorry. They've I'm sorry, they didn't threaten in Montreal. They actually firebombed the synagogue.

SPEAKER_01

Mine twice.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01

Stuart, Stuart, finish the handoff.

SPEAKER_00

Here's the big black question for Republicans in the ticket. Because he got between 18 and 22 percent of black voters in the blast poll. How about Jewish voters, Hispanic voters? Where is this going? Where does the cycle end?

Canada Parallels And Immigrant Voting Myths

SPEAKER_01

right, so let's let's go take a step back here for a second, Stuart. And I don't, I know that your parents are not immigrants to North America. You're you have a little more than me. But when my parents came to Canada in 1964, the first thing that they were told, you know, my father was a political science major, and he had just finished his degree. And the first question he had asked people is, so tell me about the winds of politics here. You know, like what is it like? And the Jewish community said, Oh no, no, good Jews vote always for the liberals because the conservatives are racists. And when you're new to a country and you hear that, that's what you identify as. You hear that, not just in Canada, but in the United States as well. The Filipino community, the Italian communities, the Latino communities, all these other minorities were told that the party of the people were the Democrats in the US and the liberals in Canada. But if you dig deep, if you strip back Stewart in both parties, their fundamental beliefs, they're as racist as they come. If you're telling me that the Southern Democrats in the United States love John Kennedy's idea of the civil rights movement, you're out of your mind. There was a rebellion in the Democratic Party in the 1960s because of John F. Kennedy. And in Canada, English Canada, the way the liberals in English Canada treated, or at least in the federal liberals treated French Canadians, the racism, the hatefulness, Stuart, that you and I we were immune to it because we were living in the English quarters. But when you saw what they did in the French, this was pure unadulterated hate. What did both parties do? Both the Democrats and the Liberals took full advantage of the immigrant fund. Because locally people knew what they stood for. But when you're new to a country, you gotta ask and you vote for what you think you know everybody else is telling you. And that then becomes your identity. You do it again, you do it again, and then you realize that oh my god, if I don't do it, what's gonna happen to me? Now let's fast forward to the recent election in the United States where both Barack Obama and Kamala Harris told blacks you're not a true black if you don't vote for Democrats. Those that are becoming Republicans, conservatives in Canada, whatever, you're a traitor to your people. So it wasn't about here's what we've done for your community, here's how we've made your community better. I'm gonna shame you and guilt you into agreeing. The party that you espoused, you know, that you folks espouse to love the Democrats with their open border policy and crime and illegal immigration. Why is simple? Is because when as more and more people of these of these communities discover that the Democrats are interested in racism, racial politics, pitting one racial community against another, dividing blacks and Jews who for over a century fought together, worked together for civil rights, but it's creating a divide in order to garner votes. That's what's happening. Do we say that blacks and Jews always got along? The answer is no. Okay, Jews were associated with whites, they weren't associated as minorities when it, you know, at times Jews didn't love the blacks. There's no doubt about it. But what we both had in common was that the that racism is the truest enemy, and where is it emanating from? You don't see Republicans, you don't see conservative policies talking about race-related issues. You're not looking at gerrymandering, Stuart, that is occurring all over the US. Don't make this a Republican problem. I'm sick and tired of hearing that it's the Republicans who do this and forcing it, whatever. What we saw in Virginia was about gerrymandering in order for it to become a race-related issue. And people like John of Donna Brazilian who go on Bill Maher and say, We have no representation. If we do this, we have no representation. I'm sick and tired of hearing this. Jews that represent such a small minority of the population go out into public, go into office, Republican, Democrat, I don't, whatever, and make things happen. They don't sit and wait for handouts, but other communities do. And instead of standing up and saying this is wrong, the Democrats continue to take their votes as if it was it's they own those votes. And so when you have a Barack Obama and a Kamala Harris who shamed people in 2024, that black men shouldn't should be voting for Kamala Harris and they're ashamed because she's a woman. Like, what are you doing? You're you're manipulating people. You've created this manipulation, Stuart, that is idiotic. The Jews didn't are now discovering that even though they so many went to the poll with blocking their nose and having to vote for Donald Trump, too many Jews still said, I will never vote, I can't associate with the Republicans. I'm going to be forever a Democrat. Even though the Democratic Party has almost officially said, fuck you to the Jews. And you know who's next, Stuart? The black community. And you know why? Because eventually it will it'll hit them. The Democrats who are being run by these racists are not interested in making your life better, they're interested in making your life worse, and they expect black good blacks, good Hispanics, good minorities to continue to vote for the Democrats, Stuart, rather than what's best in what's in their best interest.

SPEAKER_00

You know, I can't go to you and say that I'm an expert on the subject. I really can't. You're right. You know, my my entry monologue, you know, really told you the way I felt. And,

Identity Politics And Shaming Dissenters

SPEAKER_00

you know, I don't know really what's going on in Canada. I've been in the States for nearly 30 years, right?

SPEAKER_01

Clearly. That long, holy crap.

unknown

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Nearly 30 years, David. You know, when I was in Montreal, I picked up a bunch of stitches in the back of my head from an anti-Semit called a skinhead. Back in a very Jewish neighborhood called Coke St. Luke. You know, in Montreal, it wasn't a black or white issue. It was an English-French issue for the most part. You know, it's it's a it's a social crush when you get to the US because the polarization here has always been black and white, as it was always insisted was black and white, you know. And in fact, I had someone in my office the other day who's, you know, from New York, you know, Brooklyn, had that Brooklyn thick accent and uh second generation CPA, smart guy, not uncommon. But but like, you know, the the stereotype in the United States would have you believe that's not normal. Morehouse graduate, you know, great guy. But when you find political parties that polarize minorities for only personal gain, you know, you've you've got Morgan Freeman, who's been a very strong advocate, anti-Obama, anti-black uh caucus man, definitely not anti-black. Morgan Freeman, he's as black American as you get, just sort of blows my mind, right? That the left would then villainize Morgan Freeman and call him an and then call him, call him an Uncle Tom. Of course. And you know, it doesn't end there either, because you know, one of the other stories that's like you know, dominating this headline is whatchamacallit, the progressive back blowing up uh, you know, uh whatchamacallit, what's his name? Uh the oh dang it, Clarence uh Thomas. Clarence Thomas calling him an uncle Tom, a Supreme Court justice.

SPEAKER_01

The guy's the second longest tenured judge, if I'm not mistaken, highly respected, but because he doesn't side with Democrats and the left, he's a traitor to his people.

SPEAKER_00

That's you know, but but are his people Democrats or his people Americans? No, you see, that's that's no, no, let me finish. The divisiveness on having a lynchman for Clarence Thomas is the hypocrisy of you know, throwing Baby under the bus. You know, you know, the the outrage of Democrat politicians should look in the mirror because they've never managed to put together what they can do better. All they can do is point the finger and say what they've done wrong. Someone who presents a problem without presenting a solution is the fucking problem, David. You know, you know, I and I've used cliches like this, David, you know, since we've been broadcasting for the last six years plus, you know, I have always you know found that that cliche that, you know, rules for me, not for thee, that that become very mainstream in our vernacular, but are actually becoming mainstream amongst our peers. And it's not happening slowly, it's happening quickly. The outrage, you know, because media is no longer a controlled commodity and that the web has allowed in the United States people to freely say what they want. There are pros and cons with that, David, right? Let's let's not let's not you know think that this is you know an open and shut case. But before before I start jumping into the clearance story, I I want to say this. I grew up with you in Montreal. I went to a public high school, a Protestant high school. You went to a parochial high school. You know, my my viewpoints of the black and white issue, an Indian issue, an Asian issue is non-existent because that's how we all were brought up. Okay, and that was the Montreal melting pot of the West Island. But, you know, in 1991, you know, you know, let let's let's go to Clarence.

Clarence Thomas And Double Standards

SPEAKER_00

I I I think I need to bring up Clarence because I think I need to give his story, and I know I'm gonna run really late here, but I I want you to stick around because I think that the the the lynching and the lynching language, you know, a sitting Democrat lawmaker called Clarence Thomas, the Supreme Court justice who served the highest court for 35 years, Uncle Tom, this is a party that built a brand on racism. As we said earlier, you know, complete silence. Let me be precise. What's happening there in the mainstream media, the memory as a whole, is is humanly impossible, but they're making this possible. The Democrat-elected official, someone who took an oath, someone that that casses the government paycheck, goes on television and lectures the rest of us and scores of racism in America. Look, look at what this legal man has accomplished in this country. He has deployed so much, and the degrading slurs that the progressive vocabulary that have given him is so horrible. I want to run a very simple experiment. Close your eyes. Actually, don't close your eyes. If you're in the gym, you can imagine your eyes can be closed. A Republican, any Republican, pick one called the Democrat justice, a black Democrat senator, an Uncle Tom. What do you think would happen? Do you know what the next six months of your life would look like on CNBC MS Now? The view you wouldn't be able to turn a television on without or a browser, a newsstand with a Republican face with a crier on saying racist across the front. Don Lemmon would come out of retirement, that jerk off. The Congressional Black Caucus would hold press conferences every 48 hours and censor votes and resignation and demand for the soul of America would be their keynote's broadcast. The soul of America. But a Democrat doesn't declare it's Thomas. And here's all here's all what I hear. Yeah. Look. Okay, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, there's more, there's more, there's more for Decades for decades, Hakeem Jeffries, the leader of the House Democrat, wraps himself in civil rights language to the point I want to puke. Every microscopic aggression against the Republicans that this guy makes since Watergate, and he has run nothing. The cruelty for Clarence Thomas himself predicts this moment 35 years ago in 1991, sitting before the Senate Judiciary Committee during confirmation hearings, while Ted Kennedy and Joe Biden were doing their very best to destroy Clarence. Looked into the cameras and said, You didn't know that one, David. This is a high-tech lynching. Company blacks who, in any way, designed to think for themselves. Clarence Thomas Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing. He said that in 1991 and in 2026, a Democratic lawmaker proved him right. Here's what the left always believed. Even if they never had honesty to say it out loud, diversity is not a value, it's a weapon. It's something they deploy against opponents. The moment the black man or black woman or Hispanic man or woman or any minority stepped off the ideological reservation and think for themselves, the masks come off. They didn't get celebrated for their independence. They get called Uncle Tom, traitor, and they get destroyed. Clarence Thomas didn't ask approval in 1991. He doesn't need it in 2026. But the rest of us need to be honest about this moment. The left is committed to fight for racism, but not against it.

SPEAKER_01

Well, Stuart, we know this already. And you have to have your eyes like you have to be your head in the sand. And too many are, because they don't want to hear the truth.

Gerrymandering Reparation Talk And Deflection

SPEAKER_01

The Virginia Supreme Court shot down the redistricting, it was racially motivated. But what they're not telling you is that the redistricting was racially motivated, that the push was to redraw the lines of the map so Democrats could win, using race as the way to win, not pure really representation. So when you have the Democrats like Donna Brazili screaming and yelling that they was wrong, and again the GOP, the GOP, and everything's the Republicans' fault. The Republicans, the GOP, Donald Trump, everything's their fault. How could they get away with it in Florida? And how could they get away with it in other places? But they ignore California, who did the same thing, and they ignore all these other things. You hear that the way they try to garner votes, Stuart, and where you you missed out on reparation payments. Let's start talking about reparation payments. In the last podcast, we talked about creating a budget for the black community. Like we should have a black budget. Or better yet, they keep throwing the term Jim Crow 2.0. I haven't heard for years. I want to know when we go to Jim Crow 3.0, frankly, because we keep hearing the same month, the same emotional messaging with no substance behind it. When AC is asked outright these questions, Elon Omar is asked these questions, and all of these people are the attitude is uh-uh-uh-uh, you can't ask me that. I deflect the question, but when it comes up to race, they are so quick to run to the front of the cameras and to say, don't question my net worth, don't question what I do, don't you dare, because I'm a good Democrat, I'm a Democrat, you have no right to question me. But you who question me and are siding with the conservatives or the Republicans, you're the problem. And if you are, God forbid, a minority, you're even a bigger problem. And as you said about just Justice Thomas, calling him an Uncle Tom, they've used terms like you know, he's a mup, he's a he's a he's a puppet of the white man. I mean, he's married to a white woman, and they bitch about that. The amazing thing is that when you see a mixed family, the first thing you hear is praise, look at this. This is beautiful. Except if they're conservatives, except they're Republicans.

SPEAKER_00

Look, Clarence Thomas survived Anita Hill. He survived 35 years of media smears, the hit jobs, right? Democrats who treated as confirmation, just so you know, like an exorcism.

SPEAKER_01

I I remember it very well. But let me just wrap this up.

Global Left Parties And Election Wake Up

SPEAKER_01

So we're really, really running late because you loved this conversation. But let's just let's put a cherry on top of this whole damn fucking thing. At the end of the day, the Democrats in the United States, the Liberals in Canada, the Labor Party in the United Kingdom, and all these other parties are really not using like talk to me about what policies you're going to drive for these people. You talked about places like Baltimore. Let's look at places like New York City right now, where you put Mamdani as your socialist, you know, mayor, and instead of protecting his people, he permitted and encouraged Muslims to pray in front of a synagogue, breaching the amendment of freedom of religion. Think about it. If this is the party you side with, maybe it's time to rethink it. Ladies and gentlemen, Stewart said something, and with this, I'm gonna wrap it up. If John F. Kennedy would have been president today, he would have been a Republican. Think about it. The party that you've supported has gone far away. John Fennerman is not wrong in saying that the party that he is a happy, proud member of, it's not the party that you think it is. That it when you that there is no ability, you know, they talk about promoting free speech, but when he does, he gets vilified. If he doesn't vote in favor of what the Democrats want, he is the enemy. It's emotional reactions, not tangible results. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why when he comes to the ballot box in approximately six months in the United States, wake up and realize Democrats have been taking full advantage of your vote for a long, long time. And a good Democrat is, you know, if your kid, if that's the term that they're using, words like you're a good Democrat or you're a bad person, these emotional ties that they like to throw at you, the guilt trips that they like to push at you. Don't get caught up in that. Your neighbors might try as well. You know where that works? In cults. Remember that. The Democrats are trying to convince you that you are not part of a party, but you're part of a cult. And cults don't question, cults don't ask, cults don't dare to challenge. Remember that. Come

Final Warning And Closing Notes

SPEAKER_01

November. Stuart, let's wrap it up.

SPEAKER_00

Don't forget, we got all those little uh mini bobs and little little pop 15 seconds we throw on all the Instagrams. You know, yes, you see a lot of people.
