So it feels good when the news breaks today that Donald Trump has officially been fired from one of his companies. Kylie, can you show this article, please? What this says is, is Kalshi dropped Donald Trump Jr. as a paid advisor. They say it's because they say he's an investor in Polymarket, but his firm's Polymarket stake has been public since 2025. So the timing is notable. Given the midterms, Kalshi now has to deal with Democratic committee chairs and a new Democratic state attorney general around the country. Kalshi, for folks listening, is one of the betting markets, prediction marketplaces that is addicting mainly young men around the country into losing their money and gambling on everything from cancer treatments to the war in Gaza. They have now officially fired or cut ties with Trump's son. And I think that this is a good time. This is a good sign of what's to come. It's a canary in the coal mine moment. As we are about to watch, I guarantee you, we are about to watch a ton of tech companies start to do the exact same thing. These tech companies who spent billions of dollars or hundreds of millions of dollars supporting fascist enabling Republicans are now seeing what's going on. They are seeing the movement in the trees and they are realizing that they need to quickly sprint to the other side, cut their ties with Republicans. And Trump and support Democrats. So I think we're going to start seeing this with everybody from Jeff Bezos to Mark Zuckerberg, just as we're seeing here with Kalshi. Josh, good morning, sir. Good morning. What I would say to Kalshi and other companies and other individuals like Kalshi is no, no, no. You don't get to just tuck and fold. You don't get to just run away. I'm sorry. But you decided to back that pony. You decided to have Don Jr. a part of your company. You decided to jump. And with this administration. So guess what? You get to come to our committee. You get to answer our questions. We get to sit down and have a conversation about all the shit that you did that others did. So don't just jump on the other ship. Don't just try to embrace Democrats. Now you're stuck with MAGA. Keep that son of a bitch on your board. Make him make him a partner. Make him the CEO. Do whatever, because you're not getting the stink off of you. It ain't happening. We'll see you at the committee. Yeah, she's stinky. Absolutely. I mean, I think this is just reminds me of everything we talk about with accountability from from Republicans in office themselves to people like Joe Rogan, right? All these people, they realize that the tides are shifting. They try to ship and it is on us. It is on, of course, media, but it's also on the voters to remember who chose sides and what show what sides they chose. And we are allowed to welcome their change of mind. We are allowed to. To invite them back into the coalition. But they have to acknowledge their fucking responsibility when it comes to enabling fascists and siding with what I would say to that is if they've gone under oath and if they're not in prison, then they're welcome to join the Democratic Party when they get out of prison. And as we talk about welcoming to the Democratic Party, we have new senators who are about to be new senators who have been recently elected, as we all know. And while we are very used to. Politicians, even on the Democratic side being bought and paid for, we have a group of senators who are not bought and paid for. One of them is in Michigan. His name is Abdul El-Sayed, and recently he sat down to do an interview where he talked about how he plans to deal with Trump. Kylie, can you roll the clip, please? The way you take on a bully is to bully back. Because then they learn that this does not make them feel strong, it makes them feel weak and they don't like to feel weak, so they back off. And the more you let a bully. Get away with bullying, the more they signal to everybody else that this person cannot be stood up to. And so I think it's important for us to stand up to him. Now, if he wants to start being serious and doing things for the American public, great. He is the president of the United States. And in the interim, I am not going to play around and pretend that somehow this man is intelligent. I'm not going to play around and somehow pretend that this man has any strategy or that this man is somehow brilliant. I think, you know, if he has a neat trick, it's that. He has fully succumbed to his narcissism and is very good at getting attention. And he's very good at getting attention. Yeah, we know that. Now, obviously, like the way that Democrats choose to respond to Donald Trump is subjective in ways, right? People can have disagreements on how we legislate, on how we build and execute relationships with Republicans and fascists alike, while not all politicians on the left or on the Democratic side might communicate like Abdul Saeed and might have a similar opinion. People can have disagreements on how we legislate, on how we build and execute relationships with Republicans and fascists alike, while not all Republicans on the left or on the Democratic side might communicate like Abdul Saeed and might have a similar opinion. People can have disagreements on how we legislate, on how we legislate, on how we build and execute relationships with Republicans and fascists alike, while not all Republicans on the left or on the Democratic side might communicate like Abdul Saeed and might have a similar opinion. have disagreements with how he communicates. I do think it's a fucking net positive to have at least a handful of these people who are willing to really go to war with fascists and fascist enablers. Josh? Yeah, in his rhetoric, I completely agree. Now, like you pointed out, it's not everybody's style. Not everybody communicates like that. But it's how the Republicans, it's how Donald Trump communicates. It's how Pete Hegseth communicates. It's how these, you know, so-called tough guy magas, you know, all the podcasters. The rhetoric in today's politics is just different than it used to be two, four, six, eight years ago. The dialogue is different. And it's refreshing to see someone like him just call a spade a spade. Now, you know, what he's saying in that clip is that I'm not going to pretend that Donald Trump has any intelligence at all, even an ounce of intelligence. And that's very true. I don't know that I would say that if I wanted to try to negotiate. With him, even though it is true. And I'm not sure he does really want to negotiate with him. I support what Abdul El-Sayed says 100% as it relates to Trump. There's almost nothing that you could say to me that would be offensive to how they've treated the American people. And when we talk about, you mentioned ICE and the shootings in the street, murdering Americans and then trolling them online. I mean, to me, someone does that, the gloves are off, you know, and I love to see things like that. I love to see Abdul. I love to see Abdul El-Sayed standing up for American people like that. And unfortunately, we have to use that rhetoric and it's effective to use that rhetoric. And he knows that. That's why he was so effective with that direct punch you in the face, you know, directness in the way that he talks about things. When it comes to my policy, Farmers gives it to me straight.

That's right. I mean, he won. He won on that. Right. And, you know, I'll say we've said this before, right, and he's not, he's not a senator yet, of course, but he will be in two months or so, is we did the work and the people listening did the work to get these people to vote. These people elected. And that is incredible work. It is then our job to hold them accountable and ensure that they are legislating properly and effectively. And I think none of us should just be blindly supporting the decisions of all legislators. We can be supportive. We can be constructive. We can have criticisms. And that's a good thing. That is what democracy is for. I'll also just point out, right, the difference kind of between the style of Abdul or Senator, Senator-elect El-Sayed, I should say, and Zoram Mdani. Right. We all have seen how Zoram Mdani deals with Donald Trump. And it's a different style of communicating. And yet some of us, myself at least, like, believe it's also effective. There's not a singular way. to do this, to handle this. Of course, Zoran Mamdani is not blowing smoke up Trump's butt necessarily, but we have seen him be more diplomatic with Donald Trump with dealing with him. And the reality is that not every single time, but a lot of the times, Zoran has gotten what he's wanted out of Trump from being more diplomatic, right? We saw him go into the White House with a fake printout of a newspaper that said something like, Donald Trump supports or Trump backs the new era of housing, let's build. And Donald Trump was so gleeful and held it up and took photos. And that's a different style of doing things. And that's what actually wants to I want to use that to bring us into our next point, which is a tweet that Abdul Sayyed and his team put out urging Donald Trump to support Medicare for all. Kylie, can you show this? So for folks listening, this is a tweet from, again, Senator-elect Abdul Sayyed. And it says, this is a message for real Donald Trump, for President Donald Trump. Donald, this is on the table. Guarantee healthcare for every American. From cradle to grave. And the images on here are what seems to be a maybe AI generated or fake kind of like Medicare for all golden card, something that could fit into anybody's wallet, like an insurance card that they could probably, you know, as we are envisioning this, go to a doctor, hand this card over and get covered healthcare. I think this is a phenomenal trick. This is again, is like, in my mind, it's like copying the Zoran strategy now, right? This is different than the kind of punching in the face. This is the, let's appease, let's play to the narcissistic tendencies of a narcissist. Let's put a gold plated card with his name on it and say, you know what, Mr. Trump, you know what, Mr. President, this is what we want. If this makes you feel good, if it will make you actually pass Medicare for all and support Medicare for all, because you get to take credit for it, because you get to put your fucking name on it, then go ahead, go for it. It benefits all of us. Let's do it. Josh, what do you think about this tweet? Well, I mean, you're a hundred percent right. And he's basically saying, I don't mind stroking your ego. If, we can pass policy or legislation that benefits all Americans like Medicare for all. So, so that's the trade off. And I think it's tricky and it can be very effective. And I agree with it to me. And this is just my opinion, but when you call the man a fucking idiot, right before you do that, there's a strong chance that that's not going to happen. And I agree that he's an idiot. Don't get me wrong. I'm not disagreeing with you, but yeah, I don't know that you can do both things at the same time and say, Hey, I'm not going to pretend this guy. As a lick of fucking sands, he's a fucking moron. However, and so, you know, pivoting back into the, however, that's, you know, I don't know that that's the most effective strategy for that, but I love it. And I, and I love Senator elect else I had. Yeah. Yeah. And for folks listening, right. I think a good thing to always remember is, is there is a tangible difference between campaigning and legislating and the way that you communicate, uh, while you want them, while you want the messaging and the messages and the policies, of course, to be one in the same, uh, there are different goals that you have when your goal from when you're campaigning, your goal is to win and it's to beat the other person. Once you're in office, it is a very different goal. Your goal is now to legislate. It is to fight for your constituents, the lives of your constituents, and it is to enact the policy agenda on which you ran on. And so the way that you communicate to the president, regardless of regardless of if he's a, uh, a moron and a fascist, um, still has to be taken, which he is objectively. Uh, you still have to kind of think about that. I'll quickly also just mention that, you know, this is also similar to James Tallarico or Senator elect in Texas. Uh, the other day might've even been yesterday was on a stage where, and he, and he gave a quote basically saying where he said, you know, if Donald Trump wants plaques like LBJ, then we should give him those plaques and we should make the next two years, the most successful two years of president has ever had. And I think some people heard that and it rubbed them the wrong way. I think what he's saying is, right. What he's saying is, Hey, we don't give a shit if Trump is a narcissist, as long as we can use it to enact our own agenda. If we are able to actually weaponize Donald Trump as our own tool to pass progressive policies, then we don't care who takes credit for it. As long as it's benefiting the people. Yeah. If the net gain is as positive policy and legislation for the American people, like Medicare for all, or some other popular piece of legislation that we need, stroke his ego, who gives a shit, you know, I mean, mom, Donnie did it in the white house and it was very effective, you know? Yeah, very much so. Yeah. Yeah. Well, let's shift from popular policy to one of the policies that is one of the most least popular policies in the country right now, uh, which is the Israeli war and attack and genocide on the people of Gaza with the support currently of the U S government. Uh, Kylie, can you show this article? Please. Um, CNN has reported an Israeli airstrike on a hospital in Southern Gaza, uh, killed at least six people, including a doctor and a child. Um, I, uh, have a few things to say about this. The first thing I will say is since a ceasefire was called on October 11th, uh, 2025, there has been at least 1,600 people who have been killed, uh, by the IDF and by Israel. There's been another 6,000 people, um, who have been injured. Um, the airstrike that just happened on this hospital in Gaza, if folks remember or recall very recently, there was a amazing documentary that came out called American doctor, uh, that followed three American doctors and surgeons who traveled to Gaza to perform surgeries, life-saving surgeries on Palestinians and mainly Palestinian children. This movie, uh, has already received nine nominations, seven wins, including a Sundance nomination for the best. Documentary of the year. One of the doctors in that movie is a Palestinian surgeon named Dr. Rizek Abu Shira. I'm sorry if I'm pronouncing his name incorrectly. I want you to know that that doctor was just murdered in this airstrike. He is dead. One of the stars of this documentary that hopefully is up for an Academy award. We doubt it will be, but they just murdered him, um, in cold blood. Okay. This is a quote from another doctor, uh, in Gaza who was also in that film, Dr. Shira. Dr. Shira and I performed a complex surgery on a man with shrapnel injuries while Dr. Mohammed Adonai and I operated on a teenager after an American made bomb tore a hole in his abdominal aorta. Remarkably, the child lived. These two men were my friends, colleagues, and an inspiration. Now he is dead and Dr. Mohammed is fighting for his life. This is an unforgivable crime. Um, I will just let you all sit with that. Uh, Josh, any reactions to this horrendous story? Well, it's, it's terribly bad. And thank you for sharing that. I did not know that fact about the doctor, uh, in the documentary. Uh, but I was familiar with this report and it's, um, th this is a bigger reason why when we pick our democratic leaders, their position on this war, uh, with Israel and Iran, and also the Israeli Palestinian, um, genocide that I refer to it as, uh, it it's very important to pin their positions down. On how they feel about this. And they can't sidestep this. I mean, this highlights, uh, the importance of the Democrats. When we talk policy, when we talk about them having accepted APAC money and having these pro-Israeli agendas that our country is linked to, to this attack, to this bombing, to this person's death and others, uh, we're also linked to funding this government involved in this genocide. Um, you know, in, in the Iran war, we also attacked a school that murdered children and our government has that stain on it. And, and, and so for Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries and others, you can't run from this issue. You can't go give these pro-Israel speeches and then stand up here in both sides. This, you can't do it. You can't speak out of both sides of your mouth. And that's, that's that to me, that highlights the importance of what we're about to do with the leadership of the democratic party and what direction we go in as it relates to funding, this country that's committing a genocide against Palestinians and also killing children in a senseless war against Iran. Uh, and to me, that's a hundred percent of it. There's no other more important issue than this. That's right. Beautifully said. And we'll use that to go into our next clip here, Kylie, uh, where Senator Van Hollen, how, uh, I think a lot of folks may know already has just announced his bid to run against Senator Schumer, uh, for leadership of the Senate. Kylie, can you roll the clip? Does that mean you would, there would be no money taken by the DSCC from APAC if you were the leader? So my view is that we shouldn't take any APAC money at the DSCC. Okay. So for folks listening, that is Senator Van Hollen, uh, from Maryland, who is talking about not just not taking APAC money for his own campaigns, but not taking APAC money for the DSCC, which is the kind of large, uh, umbrella organization that Chuck Schumer oversees, uh, that supports financially the democratic Senate candidates around the country or selectively supports the democratic Senate candidates around the country. And he's saying that no, actually as an entire organization, uh, this ecosystem will no longer be taking APAC money. If he wins the nomination for this position, um, as Josh just said, and I'll connect it back to the, the hospital bombing, you know, we're going into winter right now, 65% of Gaza's population right now, about 1.4 million people are currently living in tents and makeshift shelters. Last year, many children died died not just of starvation, but because they froze to death while living in these shelters and in these tents. These tents are already reportedly flooding again. It's about to get freezing. So yes, actually, I do think we need Democratic leadership who understands the reality on the ground there, understands the reality of what it looks like for the U.S. government to financially support the reality on the ground there, and also understands the reality of what the American public are demanding, not just Democrats, Republicans too, which is that we no longer support this war and this genocide abroad, and we especially don't do so because of the foreign influence by the Israel lobby. Chuck Schumer, for folks to really think about this, has been in office for over 51 years. He was in the New York State Assembly from 1975 to 1980. He was in the U.S. House of Representatives from 81 to 99. He's been a United States senator from 1999 until today, 2026 or whatever year it is. The idea that somebody who's been in the halls of power for 51 years is the right person, and especially as our country within that timeframe has fallen into fascistic leadership, has fallen into authoritarian leadership because of the lack of policy and the lack of fight that people like Chuck Schumer have had, it is absolutely time for him to go away. Josh, any more thoughts on that? Well, I mean, just to last thought on that, we have to demand that these individuals like Schumer and Jeffries have an honest conversation with us about the money they took and their perspective and their positions on Israel, period, because it's always the elephant in the room and they always sidestep it. So if we're going to be, if we're stuck with Jeffries, if he ends up being the speaker, he's going to have to address these issues upfront and direct to the vote, and to the American people and let us know, look, you took X amount of dollars. You did that to promote a certain agenda for Israel. What are you going to do in this situation? And put him on the record. They're going to have to answer for this because what we don't want to see, this seems like just more of the same bullshit. And so when they take this AIPAC money and then they say things out of both sides of their mouth, in my opinion, they're no different than the Republicans. And to me, there's no difference. Obviously they have a deed or policies. They're better in some respect, but they're the same store-bought lying bullshit politicians that we are trying to get out of office. And that to me, that just gets me fired up. It just pisses me off. That's right. And when you talk about being no different from the Republicans, I actually want to roll to our final clip here, which again is Senator Van Hollen talking again about the need for democratic leadership to support Democrats and to fight against Republicans and not to get caught in the weeds of endorsing neoliberal or moderate or conservative leaning Democrats in open practice. I mean, it's Kylie. Can you roll this final clip, please? And I will also say, and I think it's important, Jen, on the political side of the equation, we shouldn't have a Democratic leader who is getting involved in picking sides in open Democratic primaries. And we should be focused on defeating Republicans, not getting involved. We have two senators right now in the United States Senate who wouldn't be there if the current majority leader, Senator Van Hollen, had his way. He supported establishment candidates in the primaries. Again, Senator Van Hollen, I'll actually correct him. He actually misspoke. It's three senators. It's Abdul Sayyed in Michigan. It is Janet, excuse me, it's Troy Jackson in Maine. And it's also our new senator elect in Minnesota, Senator-elect Flanagan. In all of those races, Chuck Schumer, the Democratic primary opponents who all lost. Janet Mills lost in Maine. Haley Stevens lost in Michigan. And his choice in Minnesota lost as well. I'll also just say, so folks know here, I think there's been a lot of talk online. We know online isn't always the real world, but I think there's been a lot of effort by the neoliberals and the moderate class to say that this push for new Democratic leadership is not a movement, that it's bullshit. I just want to say something. The New York Times reported last night that the working, the national organizations of the Working Families Party move on and indivisible have all committed to back Van Hollen and are threatening to back any primary challenge to any Senate Democrat who does not back Van Hollen. So this is absolutely of movement. This is grassroots support. This is big donor support. This is top down. This is bottom up. This is nonprofit organizations, political organizations representing the entire spectrum of Democrats who are begging for, change here. Josh, any final thoughts on this? No, I agree with everything you said. I mean, and I support Senator Van Hollen, everything he says. I mean, it makes perfect sense to me. We, they don't have any business taking sides in primaries. I mean, we support Democrats in general and, and so I'll just leave it at that. Yep. I'm with you. So folks, thanks to you so much for listening as always. This is Josh and Charlie. We are covering for the ladies on Fridays, as you know, or maybe don't know, we are going to be doing this a lot more. As we begin to launch our own show here as well, as always, we hope that you like, we hope that you subscribe. We hope that you comment and we will see you again soon. Thanks all.
