White House spokesperson Carolyn Leavitt shared her thoughts about who she thinks makes up the Democratic Party's base in an interview with Fox News last night. Here out the Democrat Party's main constituency are made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens and violent criminals. [00:00:17] That is who the Democrat Party is catering to. They don't stand for anything except for catering to their far left base, which as I said, includes anti-Semites, includes Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens and violent criminals who they want to let off freely to roam in American streets. [00:00:33] Something wild like pardoning insurrectionists or something to that effect. So that's not just her saying the Democratic politicians are those people. That's their base. That's her responding to the potentially millions of people that are going to be out this weekend at the No Kings protests. [00:00:49] Seems like she doesn't have much respect for them. Yeah. So in old days, what I would have done is ripped into her and right wing voters start with Fascist Barbie and work our way from there. Okay. Because if you're going to call us names, I'm going to call you names. We're not ones to back down from a fight, right? [00:01:05] But these days, I'm going to try a different tact. And I'm going to do that after you give us all the details of the story. Okay. And then I'm curious as to what your reaction will be. But I will note for the in the beginning, that. Okay, I don't know about Barbie, but she looks like [00:01:21] she's an American girl doll that was, like, wound up by Trump slash Israel. Everyone who disagrees is a Hamas terrorist. Okay, not that American Girls does do that, but anyways. You know more about them than I do, but I would have bought it. [00:01:36] - I do have a young daughter. - Oh, there you go. Yeah. Also, like, I know that she's delivering red meat to Fox there, but, like, so you're, you're declaring that one side of our political like dichotomy or whatever is made up of literal terrorists. And you're saying that in an interview and you're smiling, you're almost bouncing. [00:01:56] You're giddy as you're declaring that that seems a little bit discordant. I didn't really understand that part. But that's it. John, I'm going to make a prediction later in this video. You're forcing me into a prediction. Okay. All right, but keep going. I don't even know what the prediction is going to be. So she's responding not only to, you know, the No Kings protest, which we'll [00:02:14] be talking about more later on the show, but also, you know, mayoral candidate in New York City, Zoran Mamdani. He did an interview with Fox News, yesterday or two nights ago, I guess it was and did a very good job. And obviously the white House doesn't want that. [00:02:29] They don't like how popular he is. He's supposed to be a radical, and he seems so goddamn smart and, and charismatic and common sense. And so they're hitting back at him because there's nothing that he is ever going to say about Hamas or about any of this that is going to satisfy these people because they don't actually care [00:02:46] about what he thinks. They care about making it seem like he's a radical. And so this is sort of one of the ways that she was responding to that. And so in response to leave it here, you have, Hakeem Jeffries, who's going to do his best to hit her back equally hard. And then you've got Caroline Leavitt, who's sick. [00:03:04] She's out of control. And I'm not sure whether she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar or all of the above. But the notion that an official white House spokesperson [00:03:20] would say that the Democratic Party consists of terrorists, violent criminals, and undocumented immigrants just makes no sense that this is what the American people are getting from the Trump administration in the middle of a shutdown. [00:03:37] Yeah, I think look, I don't have much standards. I think for Hakeem Jeffries, I think that's something he's doing, like a version of being strong. I think I would have pitched my response in a different direction, like he's pitching as they're being bad, which they are. [00:03:53] But but I might pitch it more as like, this is what the white House, its official line is about at least half of the country. Or if you look at approval polls, more than half of the country, it's people that do not back him, don't like his wild abuses of power, his violations of the Constitution, and [00:04:09] simply because they speak out against him. You now are classified by your government as a terrorist, by a sympathizer with international terrorist movements. A violent criminal like this is how easily they move you from. You can't be patriotic if you disagree with this president. [00:04:26] I feel like he made it too much about Carolyn Leavitt. I don't know, what do you what do you think about his response? He's trying the first half, like where he's like sick and this. And that was like, not bad. You're kind of getting there if you're going for the gladiator route. You know, that's old school in my opinion. Okay. [00:04:43] But like I know that people are just catching up to that old school like, oh, we should fight them. - Yeah. - Okay. Oh, wow. Hey, nice to wake up. I thought you were woke already. So anyways. Okay. But overall, look, if you wanted to go that route, the old school route, [00:04:58] what I'm calling old school route, what Hakeem Jeffries should have done. There is say like, what do you call it? You're insulting 100 million Americans that are Democrats. Well, that's kind of sick, and it's un-American. Right. So Caroline Leavitt obviously has a problem with this country. I don't know, maybe it's because she's serving a foreign government. [00:05:14] What is this talk of Hamas terrorists? Are you saying 100 million Americans are Hamas? Is that the ludicrous? I mean, I think she should be checked into a mental asylum if she truly believes that. I mean, obviously she's lying, obviously. Right. You think 100 million Americans are all illegal aliens [00:05:29] and criminals and terrorists? So are you a mental patient? Did you recently escape, or are you lying on purpose to drive division and hatred in this country and call my voters out one more time? Okay, and then we'll see what I call you next. [00:05:45] So that would have been old school. Okay. So. But Hakeem, does he have that in him? No. A consultant has to tell him. Oh, you should use the word sick. You should do this and you should get into racism. And then. So he'll, like a quarter of it, right? So. Okay, but I'm going to tell you what I think we should actually say in a minute. [00:06:02] Yeah, yeah, it's better than him posing with the little baseball bat. I guess it's something, I suppose. So she then responded to him with this message. I'm not going to read the entire thing. Tweets have gotten entirely too long in the modern era. It's the worst thing that Elon Musk has done to Twitter. [00:06:17] But she says Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats are lashing out because they know what I said is true. It's it's not. That's insane. The Democratic Party's elected officials absolutely cater to pro Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens and violent. - Crimes, blah. - Blah, blah, blah, blah blah blah blah. [00:06:32] - Blah blah blah blah blah blah. - And then it goes on. What's the part I care about? They coddle violent criminals again. Donald Trump literally released over a thousand insurrectionists, some of whom almost immediately went out and committed more crimes. Hakeem Jeffries is an America last stone cold loser. [00:06:49] She literally is only calling him America last, because that is the criticism Donald Trump has been getting even from MAGA people recently. Now open up the government and stop simping to try to get your radical left wing base to like you. See, like she knows that simping is like a term. [00:07:05] She doesn't really know what it means, which is why it is so ill positioned. Like, that's not at all. What are you talking about? He's insulting you. He wasn't. Is he said to you? Is he? He wasn't even talking about them. How could he? Again, it doesn't make any sense. And I don't think that she's particularly great at her job. [00:07:22] I guess if you are already 100% in the Trump cult, then you're gonna like it or whatever. And Donald Trump certainly does. He likes that face. Those lips, they move like a machine gun. But it's also madness. And I don't think that, you know, when he's gonna have to try to convince some people to support him once again. Again, his approval rating is so low, it's not the sort of messenger [00:07:41] you necessarily need. So we do want to give you a couple of other responses to her. Congressman, Greg Cassar says Carolyn Levitt should resign. They try to make us hate each other, to distract from the fact that they're robbing us all blind. It's sick. And he's totally true. That is literally the entire Republican Party going back a century and a half. [00:08:00] Many. Hassan says. It is astonishing that just weeks after Republicans took to the media to angrily say any reference to their party as Nazi or fascist was incitement to violence, they are now accusing the Democratic Party of being Hamas terrorists, per their own logic. They are inciting violence and I agree that's the new standard. [00:08:18] So I guess we should follow that. But look, those are some people that you might expect to disagree with her. Let's let's move to one that you might not. So this is a former lawyer in the Trump White House, Jim Schultz. What he had to say. The rhetoric needs to be toned down, period. Right. Both sides. It's it's a problem on both sides. The rhetoric needs to be toned down. [00:08:37] They can't get out of their skis and say things like she did. I would have said it differently than she did. I think you would have said it differently than she did. We would have all said it differently than she did. And making an argument whether we're arguing against one party or the other. And yeah, so I think, I think that he's right. I think that politically, strategically, it's bad for the Republicans. [00:08:54] It's also it's not just like wildly hypocritical in in relation to as many. Hassan points out what the Republicans were saying about political rhetoric just a couple of weeks ago. But also, like it reminded us here at TYT of a thing that caused [00:09:09] a lot of brouhaha on the right. Hillary Clinton and her infamous deplorables comment. How dare you insult so many Americans with that one label you used one time. And here is what Donald Trump had to say about that. [00:09:26] I am running to be a president for all Americans. All Americans. You know what I mean? I was thus deeply shocked and alarmed to hear my opponent attack, slander, smear, demean these wonderful, [00:09:43] amazing people who are supporting our campaign by the millions. Nobody's heard anything like this. She called these patriotic men and women every vile name in the book, the disdain that Hillary Clinton expressed toward millions of decent Americans [00:10:04] disqualifies her from public service. You cannot run for president if you have such contempt in your heart for the American voter. And she does. [00:10:19] You can't lead this nation if you have such a low opinion for its citizens. So we'll get to the substance of that in just a sec. But that was nine years ago, and he is very visibly and just verbally different than he was even just those nine years ago. [00:10:34] So, she called them every name in the book. Well, not every name, not every vile name. She didn't call them terrorists. She didn't call them violent criminals. She didn't call them illegal aliens. I guess Carolyn Levitt was able to come up with a few that Hillary Clinton didn't think of. [00:10:50] But that was, she said, the basket of deplorables. And that was the end. The right was so aghast. How dare you say that? And meanwhile, Carolyn Levitt is tripping over herself to declare that they're all terrorists. And we hear this just constantly now. I'm actually kind of surprised Carolyn Levy is getting as much pushback as she is [00:11:07] because of how casually now, in not only comments like this, or as we'll get to later on, Mike Johnson just declaring, like, if you're one of these regular people that goes out and protests this weekend, you are a literal goddamn terrorist. And it's not just that. Like, it's not just comments. [00:11:23] The what is it? The Sm7, effectively declare the government is saying, if you do not agree with us on how capitalism should work, you might be a violent criminal, you might be a violent terrorist if you don't have the same views on the family or the traditional role of gender or whatever, [00:11:39] you might be a violent terrorist. It is not just commentary on Fox. It is the official documented position of the federal government on at least half, I would say, the majority of the American people. And so my we have fallen a lot from when they were clutching [00:11:54] their pearls over Hillary Clinton. All right. I'm going to start out light, and then I'll get to the crazy prediction at the end here. Les is one of our, members on t t.com. We like to do the show with our members. And while you guys and they start out with a fun little comment, I've been calling her Caroline. Don't believe it. [00:12:12] That's fun. Somebody else wrote in with Caroline, take it, but I Caroline, don't believe it's a little bit better. Okay. So all right, now on to the substance. So of course I agree with Mehdi Hassan. There was the Republicans caught a lot of vapors over the incitement to violence rhetoric. [00:12:28] We're worried about the rhetoric. You got to tone down the rhetoric. I can't believe you criticize Donald Trump. - Oh, you. - Criticized his hair. You criticized his looks and his orange tan. Oh, it's violent, it's violent. Oh, we're so worried about incitement. I can't believe you called, right wingers. Deplorables. [00:12:44] Oh, I'm so hurt. I'm so hurt right now. - Terrorists, criminals, aliens. - All right. Okay, guys, which one is it? Are you worried about the rhetoric or you're not worried about the rhetoric? Okay, I have a sense of that. That goes into the prediction in a second. But so I mean, that irony and hypocrisy is Obvious. [00:13:02] Like if you're on the right and you don't want to see it. All right, that's your business. But the rest of us obviously see it. - Like the hypocrisy is like. - Through the roof. - Through the roof. - Okay. On what names people are called. Come on. You're going to out name call Republicans. [00:13:18] Only person who could do that is me in the past. Okay. Anyways, so now number three. Look, my action these days my response is super similar actually to Greg Kassar's response that John read you a little while ago. So he's the head of the Progressive Caucus, by the way. [00:13:34] He's saying, okay, she should resign. That's fine. And then he said, they're trying to make us hate each other and to distract from the fact that they're robbing us all blind. Ding ding ding ding ding. We have a winner. That is exactly right. So now, guys, the reality is, you know, in the old days, it's left versus right. [00:13:50] Caroline Leavitt says all everybody on the left is terrorists. And then we have to and normally, like the Democrats in the past, would be. - Like, oh, we're so offended, offended. - Offended. Right. And I would say, oh yeah. - You're. - Terrorists. Okay. And then we go back and forth. Okay. But what I want you to realize now is, brother, it ain't left versus right. [00:14:07] It's them versus all of us. But once they start calling anyone who's an American citizen a terrorist, we're all doomed. They're just going to keep expanding and expanding and expanding. And by the way, I mean, look at that long tweet. The parts that we didn't read you. I'm going to read to you some of it right now. [00:14:23] Caroline. What was it? Don't leave it. Okay. Don't believe it. Said, cater. So, Democratic parties, elected officials. This is the second paragraph there. Absolutely. Cater to pro-hamas, terrorist, illegal aliens, violent criminals. [00:14:40] So you know that one. And then she wrote right underneath it. In that last part of the sentence, Democrats cheered on Pro-hamas radicals while they hijacked America's college campuses. - And harassed. - Jewish students. Wait, what does this have to do with No Kings protest? [00:14:58] What does this have to do with the government lockdown? What does this have to do with anything we're talking about right now. And the campus protests were like, now. Years ago. Why are we bringing that back? They're going to call all of Israel's critics terrorists, because not only is this done on behalf of Israel, but it's also [00:15:17] the Israel ification of our government. Where what do I mean by Israel ification? What Israel does is anyone who criticizes them, they say anti-Semite, terrorist, okay. They start with anti-Semite. So you're canceled. You're fired. [00:15:32] - Your life is ruined. - Ha ha! - We got. - You. Okay. - By the way, we're the good guys. - We're the. Oh, we're the victims. We're the. Victims. Okay. Then what they do is they call you a terrorist. And that's before they're about to take away your freedom or your life. Right. So now they've trained our government, both on behalf of Israel [00:15:49] and on behalf of whoever's in charge. Start calling your own citizens terrorists. Say that they're supporting Hamas. 100 million Democrats are going to protest because of because they love Hamas. Come on, guys, you don't really believe that. Like, maybe there's like 13 right wingers out there. [00:16:07] They're like, oh yeah, I know it, I know it. They're all Hamas, plus Hezbollah plus something else. You know, like plus Shining Path. Oh, we forgot that one. That's a long time ago. Plus Marxist. Okay. All right, look, you can have an economic conversation. Hey, Zora. I'm Mamdani, two socialists or not, that's a perfectly fine, [00:16:23] legitimate political debate. Okay, but saying that all Democratic voters work for Hamas is what a lunatic would say. An absolute lunatic, or someone trying to set the groundwork for taking away all our rights. Now you're. Oh, wait a minute. Half of the right wing base is now criticizing Israel. [00:16:41] Guess what? Welcome to the club. You're now also terrorists. Anyone who criticizes the anyone in authority, which is mainly Israel in this country is a terrorist. So this is how they start to take away all our rights. So that leads me to my, prediction. Okay. [00:17:01] I, I made a crazy prediction before Trump took office in December of 2024. I'm David Pakman show. Bless his heart that the right wing would start to turn on Israel. And I said, I'm going out on a limb. And everybody said, Jake, you're crazy, right wing. It's like 98% pro-Israel, rah rah. And it's in the Bible and all this stuff. [00:17:21] Now, all the young in the right. Bye bye, Israel. Gone, gone. Okay, so half of the Republicans and the great majority of Republicans are under 35 and the majority of Republicans under 50. Gone now anti-Israel and not just because [00:17:39] of what they've done with the genocide, but also because it's now become obvious that they're controlling so many of our politicians, whether it's Trump or Biden, whether it's Andrew Cuomo or Cory Booker, it doesn't matter. Everybody always serves Israel right. And if you don't terrorist right, cancel culture. [00:17:58] Take away your freedom of speech. Right. So the as it turns out, I think you guys can be the judge of it. I think I was right. I think a lot of have turned on, so this one's even crazier. So I think that the a lot of Trump voters are going to get tired of the Trump team and the Republican Party constantly [00:18:17] calling Democratic voters terrorists, criminals, the enemy, domestic enemy, etc.. Now, don't get me wrong, guys. I know there's a quarter of the base out there who loves it, who's like, eats it for dinner, right? Hey, breakfast, lunch. You're all terrorists. [00:18:34] They get into it, and then one day they're going to get called terrorists. They're like, wait, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. I didn't mean me. I meant other Americans. I meant, oh, wait, why did I call other Americans terrorists? And why did I do it on behalf of a different country? Wait a minute, aren't I America first? Exactly. So the reason I made the earlier prediction is because the problem is that [00:18:49] they for them, for the bad guys, is that they set up these, like, talking points. But the court, the talking points were great. They just didn't mean that. Right? So they would say like freedom of speech. We're for freedom of speech. And I'm sitting here going, I love it. I hate cancel culture. I love freedom of speech. [00:19:06] Can't wait to see if you are also in favor of freedom of speech when you're in charge. And so now the court, the court that's you know, that are the hard right radicals etc. Are like, oh no, we never met freedom of speech. No, no, no. That was just to, you know, take your power away. [00:19:22] Now we're going to abuse our power and take your freedom of speech away. Yeah, I love it. You kidding me? Of course I'm a hypocrite. But my guess is there's a solid, giant chunk of Trump voters who are like, no, I kind of meant freedom of speech. And freedom of speech isn't just for me, it's for everyone. [00:19:38] That's kind of how it works. I didn't want the Democrats taking it away in my perception of how the Democrats are acting. I don't want other guys taking it away either. And then America first. They said America first a thousand times. And you know what? If you're in the camp, that was a huge mistake or not that they [00:19:56] were in favor of that phrase ever. Right? But now the MAGA guys believe America first. They like if they if they believe anything, it's America first, right? And what part of that is Israel first and America maybe later. [00:20:11] What part of that is now we're going to start calling each other terrorists unless you bow your head to Israel. Okay. I don't think that's going to work. So America First is working against them because they set up a decent talking point. Look, I'd call it Americans first, but can we ever serve the American voter [00:20:27] instead of some donor, corporate donor, foreign government, etc.? Right. And then the last one is what you saw in some of those clips from Trump earlier, etc.. Look, we're all Americans. They said it 100 times, right? What are you picking on us for? We're all Americans. So now they're saying, no, wait wait wait wait wait. [00:20:43] Time out. We're not all Americans. Democrats are devils and criminals and terrorists and Hamas. Hamas. Hamas, for whatever freaking reason. Why are you guys talking about Hamas nonstop in the middle of this? Right. Oh, no. You bow your head. Bow your head, bow your head to Israel, right? [00:21:00] I don't think it's going to work. I think that a bunch of Trump voters are going to go, nah, I didn't like it when they did it to us. And I don't like it when you're doing it to them. I got 100 problems with that junk guy. This stupid whatever. And his nephew and this and that and a thousand other things, right? [00:21:18] But no, they're one of us. And you don't get to call any of us terrorists. So let's see if I'm right or if I'm crazy. We'll see. I think that one's a little bit harder to define than the Pacman one, but we'll see. The only thing I would add is in terms of, how how fake Donald Trump was [00:21:35] in those clips of I'm going to be a president for everyone. It isn't just that the second you disagree with him, even though even if you've been a Republican for decades, he's going to start calling you a traitor or a terrorist or whatever. It isn't just that he does not consider himself to be a president for the Democrats. Like AOC was pointing out at that town hall, he's not just saying you're bad. [00:21:54] They're pulling massive amounts of funding to states that didn't support him. This is not just about comments. This isn't about oh, he's mean. He insulted us. He is producing actual policy budgetary harm for massive sections of America [00:22:09] that he feels aren't sufficiently loyal. And maybe to your point, while those areas are blue. Blue doesn't mean 100% democratic. It means 60%. It means 54%. It means 51%. There are millions upon millions, if not tens of millions of Republicans who are being screwed over by Donald Trump [00:22:27] and by the Republicans because they just happen to live in areas that Democrats were elected in. And you're seeing it every day in the shutdown, the glee that Donald Trump and Russ Fort, they're just giggling their way to screwing over so many millions of their most devoted followers for, I guess, having committing the sin [00:22:44] of living in the wrong area. Yeah. Last thing is, look, guys on free speech is a good example. So where do I get these from? I just imagine it now. I'm seeing it from the zeitgeist and as it's developing. Right. So on a free speech issue, when they try to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, [00:22:59] tons of the right wing base loved it. And they're like, okay, what Aboutism and you guys did this, so now we're doing it, etc. But there was a significant chunk that were like, wait, wait, I think we were against cancel culture, right? So Clay Travis came out first from what I saw and was like, no, I don't like it. [00:23:15] Okay. Then Greg Gutfeld came out and was like, I don't like it. I'm a comic. He's a comic. Now we're canceling comics. I don't like it. Right then Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and the list started to grow, right? Because apparently they somewhat meant freedom of speech, [00:23:31] and they actually somewhat meant that they didn't like cancel culture. Right? So I think that they somewhat mean we're all Americans. And if you don't agree with that, you can, you know, go ahead and f off, right. So no, we're allowed to disagree with one another. [00:23:47] We're allowed to clash like crazy in politics and ideology philosophy. But no, you don't get to call all 100 million Republicans or 100 million Democrats, criminals or terrorists or not really Americans, etc. And if you do that, I'm starting to wonder if you're really an American. [00:24:03] And so look, I think that they're going to do this enough that it's going to drive Trump's polling down and it's going to get down enough that he's going to go, okay, I got a decision to make. Do I just keep digging and bury myself, you know, and just stick [00:24:18] with my 25% base and be done and then just be wildly unpopular forever and ever and try to do x, Y, and Z to try to control power, even though I don't have the popularity I used to have. Or is he going to suddenly and Trump does this sometimes, or does he go, oh, that didn't work. [00:24:35] I was a B testing. I guess they don't like authoritarianism. I guess they don't like me dividing the country and spreading hatred. Maybe I'll begin to turn around a little bit, but that that one's hard to tell, so we'll see. But I do think his poll numbers are going to go down because of this. [00:24:50] And some of the other extreme actions that that most Americans, including enough of his voters, do not like. Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets his wings. Totally not true. But it does keep you updated on our live shows.
