“If you still think the Democratic Party has a ‘big tent,’ let us makes i painfully clear—it’s not a tent, it’s a hostage situation.” Today, we rip into the chaos unfolding inside the party, arguing that primary results in Wisconsin and Minnesota show a movement splitting between establishment Democrats and a rising socialist flank that’s “cracking at the seams.” Candidates like Francesca Hong—who, “wanted a one year moratorium on building AI data centers… called for defunding the police… and even wanted to cancel Thanksgiving”—represents a radical shift that many Democrats themselves fear. Meanwhile, the rise of figures like El Sayed and Mamdani is framed as proof that “this isn’t change… this is a revolution.” The episode paints a picture of a party losing control of its identity, its messaging, and its center, with the hosts arguing that America is sleepwalking into ideological extremism while voters suffer from what they call “Stockholm Syndrome.”

Is The Big Tent A Myth

SPEAKER_00

You know, it's amazing how you and I keep bashing the Democrats. And people say we're just anti, we're anti, we're anti. And what we're saying to everybody, and some Democrats are waking up to the realization that you guys want to call yourself, you know, we have a big tent. Well, no, you don't have a big tent. You have a shifting and pivoting tent. And fortunately for you, last night in Wisconsin, the result was good because had you elected this or nominated Francesca Hong as your gubernatorial candidate, it would have just proven how fucked up the Democrats have become lately, Stuart.

SPEAKER_01

All right, all right.

Wisconsin Primary And Party Fracture

SPEAKER_01

The primary results are in point to a Democrat Party that's visibly fracturing between its socialist progressive base and its establishment wing, with the establishment reportedly beating back a socialist challenger in Wisconsin, governor's primary. Fox News framed it while separate unconfirmed reports claim that progressive, anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, anti-Western candidate won a Minnesota Senate primary over a moderate. If both hold up, it shows a party with no coherent center. Winning in one state by suppressing the left flank, losing control of it in another. The Democrat Party spent Tuesday night fighting itself in two different states. Depending on which headlines you believe, either beat back the socialists or got captured by them. Either way, it's not a party. That's a hostage situation. Like I said last week, upset governor primary was shocking for some. According to the aggregated headlines, the Democrat Socialist candidate for Wisconsin governor was defeated in a tight primary. With Fox News characterizing the Democrat establishment as striking back. Politico is running with it. The far left hits a wall. Verified. No independent confirmation, but verified. The paywall was unavailable. The win, but don't oversell it. The Democrats establishment surviving a near-death experience, not thriving a tight primary means a socialist wing came close enough to genuinely scare the party machine in a battleground state. Democrats can't afford to lose in a general election. Even Politico, not exactly a conservative outlet, is framing the far left hitting a wall, which meant their own journalists see the fracture. We've been talking about David for years. The establishment didn't win the argument, it won a street fight, barely. Not by a KO knockout, by I punched you in the nose, he ran home to mommy. If Wisconsin

Minnesota Headlines And Proof Standards

SPEAKER_01

was an establishment holding the line by its fingernails, the report out in Minnesota, if it holds up, shows what happens when it doesn't hold at all. Anti-Israel Democrat wins Minnesota Senate over the moderate. You know, the way it pulls is I have the headlines. It provides a framing. I don't have the confirmation yet, but the research is clear. If confirmed, she's the other half of the split screen the same night. The establishment barely survived Wisconsin and reportedly lost outright in Minnesota to a candidate defined for the headlines by an anti-Israeli political whack. That's not a fringe data point. That's the story. And it's happening the same 24 hours that Fox Politico and the Times are independently describing a social insurgency nationally. Before we say more on the air, we need an actual name, an actual margin, an actual quote. I'm not going to give it to you today. I'm not going to give it to you until I got it in the first hand. The media line, this is just a healthy primary. Competition, nothing to see here. That falls apart in its own terms. Mainstream outlets are treating this as a party identity crisis. Not a routine primary noise. You get headlines like this where the far left is for a boring party. This is a shit show. Shit show for United States. Aggregate their words. Politico, far left, it says, you know, not ours. Minnesota is in trouble. The visceral stakes of this primary and the infighting and the battleground. It's exactly what the Republicans want. So I'm not really caring so

Progressive Policies Under The Microscope

SPEAKER_01

much. But I care about the country. You need two sides that are reasonable. Like John McCain used to sit down with his Democrat counterpart, they can't remember his name, Joe Biden, at lunch every day. They were in the Senate. This doesn't work like this, David.

SPEAKER_00

You know, Stuart, here's Francesca Hunk. Okay, what did she stand for? Right? Well, we need to move minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to 20, right? Because that makes a lot of sense. She wanted a one-year moratorium on building AI data centers. I'm just reading it all here. She's called for the funding of the police, but then she backtracks. She wants to cancel Thanksgiving, and then she backtracks. She's, you know, she's unbelievable how she's thinking about we should stop celebrating colonialism. All this stupid shit banter. And who are his supporters? Elon Omar, Rokana, haters, haters of Israel and Jews. Yes, I said it, haters of Jews. Because, you know, Rokana ran to Israel to try to create some false narrative that he was being bullied by Israel. So it just goes to the far left's idea that we need to get rid of our relationship with Israel and create just a Palestinian state. That's your Democrat, these are the Democratic Socialist Association. So Al-Saeed wins last week by a narrow margin. And people within the party are shitting in their pants. And they're breathing a little bit of a sigh of relief that Francesca Hong didn't win because Bernie Sanders and AOC viewed Hong as a liability. Her? She's the liability? Have you looked at the rest of your crazy candidates? Because really, what do they want, Stuart? Okay, so they're talking about climate change. I everybody's a little bit fucked up about that. But this whole business, again, of health care for all, free, you know, free Medicare, for tuition, you know, basically, you know, tuition-free higher education. Again, these great socialist policies that didn't work in Canada, doesn't work in the UK. But we're going to throw it in because, like everything else, we're going to throw everything into the blender and whatever milkshake we make out of this. Sure, no problem. It'll be fine. But these Democrat socialists are telling you a bunch of lies. They're selling you down, they're selling you on these stupid ideas that don't work. And who is voting for them? College-educated kids. College educated with those higher education, right, Stuart? Those people who went to those brainwashing, brain-draining, mind-boggling, propaganda-driven classrooms, which has told you all along capitalism is bad. All along capitalism is bad. Listen, folks, if you want Mamdani-like individuals to run your city, state, or whatever it is, look what he's done, Stewart. He puts our website out with over 900,000 names to tell people these are the most egregious tax evaders. They have property in New York. He listed their names and their addresses. What happened to privacy? Cares. What happened to privacy matter? Nope, not the socialists until it suits them. They say they want justice, they say they want peace in the streets, but then they say they want to defund the police. They want to get rid of ICE, who, by the way, ICE was an Obama love affair. Obama evicted more people than Trump did. But that doesn't matter. We got to abolish ICE because ICE is just a bunch of stormtroopers. This is the shoveling of the socialists that you're getting. The Democratic Party, Stuart, is cracking at the seams. Because your Chuck Schumers and the King Jeffries are very quiet lately. The noise is coming from whom? The loudest people. The lovers of Hassan Piker, a left-wing lunatic racist. Had he gone after blacks the way he gone after Jews, Hassan Piker wouldn't have a leg to stand on. But that's who he's that's who's there. Now, the Republicans have their own right-wing crazies and Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson. I'm not saying Hassan Piker's

Hostage Politics And A Third-Party Warning

SPEAKER_00

exclusive, but there's Al Saeed chumming up with Hassan Piker. This is who is driving the policy of the Democratic Party. Racist-based? You want to talk about reparations? That's what they want. They want to squeeze you. These socialists want to squeeze you because they believe in reparation payments. And if you talk to well-educated African Americans, they're saying, What are you nuts? This doesn't work. We're gonna bankrupt the country. There are other ways to deal with this stuff, but no, it's what it's milk the rich because we gotta pay the poor. It's the Karl Marx philosophy. Even Karl Marx got it wrong. Okay, ladies and gentlemen. Even it's generation after generation of mistake after mistake after mistake. The socialists are throwing out expressions, phrases, and policies, or not policies, catchphrases that have no substance. There is no basis. Mamdani's proved it in New York, he's opening up food stores that cost a fortune and it's gonna cause more unemployment. Did you bring your ID? Oh, and oh, I forgot about that. You must bring ID, even though these socialists don't believe in voter ID. But to go into these stores, you need your ID. Go figure. Mamdani, people who voted for Mamdani are waking up this morning going, What did we do? We love our city, but what the hell did we do? And all of you in Michigan, Minnesota, other states, Massachusetts, Washington State, Oregon, California, wake up. You're gonna break and fracture the United States. This is what you're gonna do, Stuart. I don't believe that people really want to destroy the country. I get you want change, but this isn't change. This is a revolution, this is a rebellion. And I haven't even gotten into the all the Sharia law that Al-Sayyid wants to put into play and Mamdani wants to put into play. That's a whole other conversation. But this don't this so-called big tent is not so big anymore for the Democrats, Stuart. In fact, it's a folding tent. And if they're not careful, there will be a third party launched before the election, which I know hasn't worked in the United States. But once upon a Ross Perrow worked like a charm, it worked like a charm to destroy the Republicans, and George Bush didn't get elected again. Correct. But at the rate the Democrats are going, there will be a couple of independents trying to run and will destroy any Democrat who wants to try to run for power. I think that this is the beginning of the end of the Democratic Party if something radical doesn't happen, Stuart.

SPEAKER_01

Well, we can go knock on Debbie Wasserman's door and publish her address, and let's see if we can go say hi to her.

SPEAKER_00

But you know, but you know you love Debbie Wasserman, and she's a great example of where are you? You know, the the the democrats who have intestinal fortitude, like if Johnny, David, David Mercy. I know, but think of John Fetterman. John Fetterman, okay, are all screaming. You know, Greg Yountain, where all these guys are saying, What are you doing? This isn't the big tent, this isn't the Democratic Party anymore, it's a socialist party.

SPEAKER_01

This is exactly what the hostage takers want you to believe, and that's exactly what they did. It's not the Democrat Party, it's the hostage takers party, and that, David, is the critical mistake.

SPEAKER_00

You know, Stuart, what you what we got Stockholm Syndrome. You know what we I don't know if you you know, like if for those of you look it up, all right? We're the you're the hostages, and you have sympathy for the people who have taken you hostage. What sympathy? Did you look to see how much Hassan Piker is worth as he's crying and screaming that we should we should tax the wealthy? Have you looked at all these people and see really what their net worth is? Who's their where their funding from? You know, I loved it when the socialists like the Corey Bush, that bitch, and all the ones call out APAC, right? On American Israel PAC. That let's call out George Saros. Oh, whoa, whoa. Where's the where's the Chinese pack? And where's the Qatari pack? And where's the Saudi Arabian PAC? And where are the Russian PAC? You think this is just this is Israel, little Israel and little, you know, the Jews are the Jews, the controlling and all that stuff, because that's what they want you to believe. APAC, it's always it Jews' fault. That's who they keep doing it. Guys, when you it's this is is never worked in history. Look it up. If they tried it in France and it failed, they tried in Russia and it failed. Even the United States during the 1930s failed. Stuart, it's absolutely disgusting how the United States has fallen into this trap. You've got Stockholm Syndrome, people. Watch out.

SPEAKER_01

All right, David. You know what? Wrap it up, it's rapping.
