But we're in this situation. The people of Gaza are intuition because Donald Trump is president. It is a lot to Biden, to Biden was there to hey, this is your opinion, man. Democratic Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego just took a three day trip to Iowa. [00:00:19] At one point, he spoke to individuals in Iowa during a town hall, and the topic of Israel-Palestine came up. How could it not? And what I thought was really interesting is that he did what the members of the Democratic Party love to do when something is going wrong, when people are upset, [00:00:36] when Democratic voters are upset about something happening in the world or in the country, he just blamed Trump and freed the Democratic Party of any responsibility. So in this case, he specifically focusing on how President Donald Trump is to blame for the horrors in Gaza. [00:00:53] And look, there's some logic behind that. Currently, the leader of the United States, the person making decisions as to whether or not to fund the The genocide in Gaza. It makes sense. And Trump has decided to get dog walked by the Israeli government. It's happening right now, right before our eyes. [00:01:10] He's turned his back on the so-called America First movement in this country. And I say so-called because the leader of that movement, turns out, doesn't really care about America first at all. Now, with that in mind, when one town hall attendee pointed out that Israel [00:01:26] was carrying out the same ethnic cleansing campaign under the Biden presidency. Gallego got a little testy, a little testy. - Let's take a look. - Will you support boycott? Will you support us to stand for our rights? Would you support us to have our own voice [00:01:42] and not us be be summoned and put in jail like some of us have been doing? - Would you support our freedom of speech? - Yes. Okay. First of all, we support anybody having and using their freedom of speech, no [00:02:01] matter to what context and to what extent. Obviously, the extent that, you know, does extend to violence and, whether within the Democratic Party. Look, have we been perfect? No. But what we do know, by the way, is that things are significantly bad [00:02:18] because Trump is president. And I point that out. I haven't been 100%. I think we've been slow to take. There's there's times where we didn't live up to our values. But we're in this situation. The people of Gaza are intuition because Donald Trump is president. [00:02:36] It is a lot. - Biden was. - There too. - Biden was there. - Too. This is your opinion, man. In fact, Biden could have used the leverage we have over Israel, which is the weapons. I mean, Israel can't carry out a genocide without American weapons. [00:02:53] We fund the bulk of their weapons. But what Biden chose to do was create a situation in which the Trump administration would inherit the genocide and continue it. So, sure, you can go ahead and talk about how bad Trump is. [00:03:09] And I'll agree with that criticism, especially as it pertains to this issue. But Jake, I'm sorry. This. This genocide started under the Democrats watch under Biden's watch. Yeah. So I'm predisposed to like Ruben Gallego. He replaced Kyrsten Sinema. [00:03:24] He ran as a progressive. He was more progressive than the alternatives in that race. So I get a little excited about Gallego. Right. And that's obviously a mistake. - Yes. - Thank you. Okay. So because all they ever do is they. Why did Sinema do the same thing in the same seat? [00:03:41] Because they get into office pretending to be progressive. Then they stuff their face full of AIPAC money and corporate money, and then they do the same old status quo. And then they tell you what. What's the main argument Gallegos making there? - Trump bad. - Trump bad. [00:03:58] We're still going to this. This is your talking point now. Trump bad. We all know Trump's bad brother. That's not the issue. The issue is what are you going to do? Okay. And so when the guy said, you know, but but Biden also did the same policies as Trump in regards to Israel. [00:04:13] In fact. So you know, some will hang their hat on. Well, Biden wouldn't have authorized Iran war. I don't think that's true at all. Okay. In fact, I don't know that he would have sent the Israeli jets back like Trump did, to be honest. Now Trump is sold out to them, to Israel since even worse, right? [00:04:30] But don't tell me Biden wouldn't have helped Israel when Biden wrote them a $20 billion check to finish their genocide. So those are overwhelming facts. And what did Gallego say? He said, yeah, whatever. This is your opinion, man. No, it's not an opinion. It's a stone cold fact. [00:04:48] What do you mean, whatever? What does that mean? Whatever. Biden bypassed Congress on several occasions to get even more American taxpayer money in the hands of the Israeli government, so they can carry out the slaughter campaign that they're currently carrying out. [00:05:04] Does Gallego Geico have anything to say about that? Anything at all? Okay. Yeah he does. Trump bad. Trump. Trump bad. Okay. So look, Gallego also stated that he would have voted against the Senate resolution to block military aid to Israel. I want to be specific that military aid was only in regard to offensive weapons, [00:05:24] not defensive weapons like the Iron Dome. But keep in mind, he was not. - Would have allowed offensive weapons. - Yes. - Okay. - Yes, that's exactly right. - He was bad, Trump. - Bad. No. You're bad, you're bad. And by the way, I mean, look, is there anything more embarrassing at this point [00:05:41] than labeling yourself a progressive? These people have totally tarnished that label. That's progressive. Really. Even now. Even today, you're saying that you would send more offensive weapons to Israel as they're carrying out war crimes and genocide? [00:05:56] The labels are so annoying because they don't. - Mean. - Anything. They get hijacked. - They don't mean. - Anything. They get hijacked by every rando clown. Like, remember when Gillibrand and Cory Booker and all those corporate Democrats were Kamala Harris, were all pretending to be progressives? The guy from freakin Pennsylvania. [00:06:12] Fetterman. There we go. Oh, yeah. Mr. Progressive 101 turned into the biggest corporate foreign government PAC corporate swallowing prostitute there is. Yeah. Okay, so let's look at how much, Gallego has put in his mouth from Israel. Oh. Look at that. $379,872 from the Israeli lobby. [00:06:32] And. He voted to send them offensive weapons, let alone the theoretical defensive weapons. And he votes to give them everything. And he says Biden didn't do anything wrong. I wonder if it's because you stuffed your pocket full of and your mouth [00:06:49] full of Israeli legalized bribes. So I'm not interested in these corporate Democrats. Okay, Gallego, your career lasted about six months before you told us who you were. Nighty night. Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets his wings. Totally not true. [00:07:04] But it does keep you updated on our live shows.
