Okay, so I gotta say, like I try to find the wins, Like when things turn around and go well and we get something that we want, I always try to kind of you know, pisaki back to this, to circle back and let you know, like, hey, remember that time when we were saying, you know, do this or don't do this, and then everyone's like, oh, what's the point of even saying this. You know, our political opponents are not going to listen to us and all of that. But sometimes it does happen and wins, and so do you remember. I mean, I'm going back a while, but I am old enough to remember it. Do you remember when people were running around telling everybody to punch a Nazi? Remember those days right, And we were saying, like, hey, you're misidentifying everybody you disagree with as a Nazi and you're advocating violence against them, and that's not good. You shouldn't be doing that. This is corrosive to a free and high trust society. You should not be advocating for violence against people that you just have disagreements about over politics, right. And so we were saying, that's bad. You should not be going around saying punch a Nazi. Right, So we got a win. They listened to us. They're nominating Nazis. They may have overcorrected a little, but I mean, I feel like it's important that we, you know, recognize that that they're not saying punch a Nazi anymore. In fact, I kind of feel like they may not even say the word Nazi for quite a while. We may have a sort of de facto moratorium on the use of the word Nazi, at least through the November election. Why why would this happen, Pete glad you asked, Well, the Democrat nominee for US Senate up in my sorry Maine, Maine, not mine main, Sorry, So the US Senate candidate that has now secured the nomination basically for the Democrat Party is the guy with the Nazi tattoo. He still has it. He covered it up, but it's still there. It's still underneath that silly little wolf looking thing that he has I don't know, claims it's Celtic or something. So he replaced the Oh and by the way, it wasn't just any Nazi symbol. It was like the symbol of the special Nazis that ran the death camps, that group what they call it a totin kop. I'm not too up to speed on my German, but yeah. So he had this on his chest for like almost twenty years, and then he runs for Senate and the story comes out and then he and he covers it up, and he claims he had no idea that he was drunk. He was overseas when he was in the military and they all got these tattoos, and so he just picked one off of a wall at some tattoo parlor in like Budapest or something I don't even remember where. He had no idea. Of course, former staffers and friends that spoke to media afterwards after the story broke and he had to come out and say, oh, no, you know, I was young and drunk and I didn't know what it meant. And then staffers and longtime friends were like, oh no, he would talk about it. He knew what it was. So that's who the Democrats are now gonna ride or die with. So I suspect not a lot of Nazi talk between now and November. I'm sure after November you'll start seeing a lot more Nazi usage, But for now I think they probably don't want to say the word because saying the word may draw some attention to the fact that that's their guy. Oh and there's more. The guy's name, by the way, is Graham Platner. First thing you need to know about Graham Platner is he's a NEPO baby. Okay. They're framing him as an oyster farmer, Okay, But as theo Wool reports, he's a former deputy assistant to President Trump, former Idaho solicitor general. He says, of all the fake populists that exist on the left, Graham Platner is easily the fakeist. His grandfather was a famous architect who designed the roof of the Ford Foundation. He's a rich kid who went to Hotchkiss School. He spent his thirties on Reddit talking about how he's a communist and so, so I think there also may need to be a new word developed for people who kind of identify as Nazi and Commie, right because as we know, those two ideologies, you know, ward each other in World War Two, Stalin versus Hitler and so like, So they're totally not the same at all. Right, so maybe communazi just like blend the two words together. He's a Communazi. But yeah, so he was a poop poster. They don't call them poop poster. They call him something else, but that would get me in trouble. So I call him a poop poster online and talked about how he was a communist. He talked about how rural white people are stupid and racist. But now that he's an oyster farmer as a hobby and has a deep voice, he gets classified by Democrats as some sort of blue collar hero, right, but he is not. So that's the first thing to keep in mind that when you see this guy, he's walking around and like he's giving off this image of blue collar farmer. Dude, Yeah, he's he's a NEPO baby. Okay. Number one also he's got a bit of a fetish for UMAs completely on brand for Democrat primary voters. The New York Times published a detailed article about how national Democrats are losing enthusiasm for mains Senate race. This was from a couple of days ago by Matt Vespa over at town hall dot com. Incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins is at risk, but the leading candidate in the Democrat primary, and now the only one because Janet Mills, the former governor popular governor of Maine, dropped out and so now he's the only one standing. So he's the nominee. He is an oyster farmer with Nazi tattoos who also trained with an Antifa like militia. Oh yeah, there was that too, you talked about training the Socialist gun Club. I've got details on all this stuff. We're going to go over who exactly Democrats are attracted to. Look the heart wants what the heart wants, you know, and Graham Plattner is checking a lot of boxes for the Democrat primary voters. And by the way, this brand is becoming more prevalent. Okay, We're going to see more and more of this because as I was going over the other day. I don't believe the Democrat Party has any kind of natural immunity to this, because they are so captured by this Marxist mindset of oppressor and oppressed, and so as long as you say the right things for the oppressed, then you have access and there's no guard rail. Then on response to what the quote oppressor does, it was the punch a Nazi thing. They have so internalized that, you know, punch a Nazi, and the Nazi is anybody who disagrees with me. It's the Karl Schmidt friend enemy distinction, you know, matrix that you put everybody through. So he apologized for getting the tattoo, removed it, then withdrew the apology, and now appears to suggest that his military service turned him into a Nazi. He blamed his time in the Marines, which I know some marines. My father was a marine and didn't turn into a Nazi, so I'm not really sure where that is coming from. But anyway, now he apparently liked what he saw watching a Hamas raid that led to the deaths of Israeli soldiers. The heart wants what the heart wants. Democrats, I hear you I hear you. Yeah. He repeatedly praised the tactics used by Hamas terrorists and comments made about a graphic video of a Hamas raid into Israel in twenty fourteen, in which terrorists killed at least five Israeli soldiers. He did his work on Reddit. A lot of his poop posting was on the Reddit pages and such, and he went by the name pea hustle. I'm not really sure what that's a reference to. Maybe it's a well, it's a pea dash because it could have been like fussle or something. But no, it's pea dash hustle. And so he commented on a video of helmet footage from a Hamas cross border rate.

All right, so according to you. By the way, this is from a Jewish Insider dot com. They did a story on this a couple of weeks ago, Graham Platner praising Hamas's tactics from a twenty fourteen video that was posted online. They were apparently commenting about it on some Reddit forum called combat Footage, and according to a text description of the video and the raid of the raid shared online, the video includes footage of the shootings of several Israeli soldiers, at least one of whom is screaming as the terrorists attempt to kidnap him, and Platner wrote, quote looks like an all around well executed and successful small unit raid to me and then another user who criticized the execution of the Israeli soldiers. Plattner said he's not interested in discussing the geopolitical or strategic implications, but suggested Hamas's tactics and actions were reasonable. Quote as for your aversion to quote execution, a small unit raid tends to be used to inflict casualties and take prisoners in a short period of time. Notice how clinical he is about this. I've served, I was a marine, like I know these tactics pragmatically. I have little problem with killing any enemy combatant who you attempt to capture but for whatever reason cannot. From a strictly professional standpoint, this was a darn fine looking and successful raid against a superior opponent. I dig it. He acknowledged in response to another user that the terrorist's actions were brutal and that the terrorists should have shot one of the soldiers instead of beating him to death. That's p hustle, everybody Democrat candidate for the US Senate in mind. I mean Maine, Sorry, Maine. The man with the Nazi tattoo. Philip Klein at National Review writes. Governor Janet Mills on Thursday announced that she was dropping out of the main Senate race, with polls showing her way behind Graham Plattner, who is now presumed to be the Democrat who will go up against Susan Collins, the incumbent in one of the most hotly contested races of the year. Plattner was largely unknown at this point last year, and yet managed to drive a sitting governor out of the primary before a single vote was cast. But he had one thing going for him, which is that he gained attention for his anti Semitism and that my friends is a ticket to success in the modern Democratic Party. Platner had a tattoo with a Nazi symbol on his chest for nearly twenty years before covering it up when called out for it during his Senate campaign. On another occasion, he promoted a social media post from the neo Nazi holocaust denier Stu Peters. He also sat for a lengthy interview with anti Semitic conspiracy theorist Nate Cornacchia, claiming that he was a longtime fan of the show. He has also described the US Israel relationship as quote shameful, and as I mentioned, praised the Hamas attack on the Israelis. Any of this would have once been a political death sentence for somebody, But just as Zoron Mamdani proved in New York City, engaging in anti Semitism and unhinged hatred of Israel has become a way for upstart candidates to soar to the top of the Democratic Party by convincing the progressive base that they are the real deal. Now we're going to have to listen for months to arguments that it's our moral duty to support the Nazi tattoo guy over the threat posed by Susan Collins. Like she is not exactly like a right winger. She's not like she's as moderate centrist of a Republican as you can get. She's usually one of the four that in the Republican camp that is blocking stuff that Republicans want to do. But you know, I get it. Heart wants what it warrants. Democrats, I get it. Seth Mandel at commentary dot Org. He said, I honestly have never never expected to hear Chuck Schumer announced that he and the rest of the official Democratic Party apparatus would spend millions of dollars to elect a man with a literal Nazi tattoo on his body and a trail of Hamas fandom on his Internet history. But that's on me, he says. My expectations were too high. My bad. I totally Yeah. I mean, didn't Chuck Schumer write a whole book about anti Semitism in America? Yeah? He did. Isn't Chuck Schumer Jewish? Yes? He is. Graham Platner, who, according to acquaintances and former employees, laughed and bragged about his Nazi tattoo for years. He has the full weight of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee behind him, as well as the pledged loyalty of the party's Senate for leader, who is Jewish. Yeah, Susan Collins, moderate Republican. She's not making Schumer back the Nazi tattoo guy. Collins is in fact a great excuse not to back the Nazi tattoo guy, right, I mean, not that Schumer and the Democrats would do that. I mean, Schumer's probably looking at his own primary defeat to some similar kind of a candidate in New York, So he can't go against what the radical base is doing to the Democrat Party in pushing these candidates through. And by the way, this is the plan. I'm not sure people are fully aware of that yet inside the Democrat Party, Like you guys think that these DSA kids are coming in and they're youthful and they got energy and that's our future and all of this. Yeah, no, they hate you too. I'm not sure you're aware of this. They say this, they talk about it. In fact, your new mouthpiece, that twitch streamer, dog Shocker, anti capitalist, calls for violence, Hassan Piker. That guy, he just did a campaign event for New York City DSA or something. He was up there with some candidate and out they were on video. You can go watch it, and they're talking about how the guy says, I identify as a Democrat, but I am a Democratic Socialist, like we are using your party in order to gain power. It is as Iowa Hawk Blog said lo those many years ago, it's you know, find some institution that has value, kill it, skin it, and then where the skin suit around and demand people, you know, respect it and respect you. But it's not the same institution any longer. This ideology is a cancer, and it's and the Democratic Party does not have any kind of natural immunity to it. This is a problem. Let's take a look at some of the text line messages. Oh my gosh, I'm just kidding. Joseph says, Happy Commie Christmas Day. Today is May first. It is Commie Day. I did not I did not get you anything, as is the tradition in immunism. So tonight, mom, Donnie Clause sneaks up the fire escape to pick your pocket. Remember to leave some shiwarma out for him, but no utensils are necessary. The Hellion says, uh. He liked about Graham Platner, the Democrat candidate for US Senate up in Maine main. He liked to get drunk, take his shirt off and show off the Nazi tattoo because no one would ever know he had it. You have to brag about unseen tattoos otherwise there is no point. Yeah, he would. There were several incidents of him taking his shirt off while drunk and dancing around and everything. Platner's video shows up every time I reshuffle on YouTube. It's obvious that he or at least was being promoted. Well, I think it probably is the digital ad buys Earle says, Pete, it's not commun Nazi, but straight up authoritarian dictatorship as in jack booted enforcers of censorship and re education camps. Not a joke. The plans have been stated clearly now see I saw this coming when Hillary Clinton started talking about fun camps. I saw the writing on the wall. Then, Ian says a small favor, please routinely mansplain to leftists monitoring your show that fascism and Marxism are different sides of the same totalitarian coin, with each having utter contempt for individual and economic liberty. That is correct. Yeah, I don't make like I look at fascism, Nazism, and communism as the same, and socialism I look at them all the same. Like the distinctions that these people want to make between these different ideologies are distinctions without a difference, because it is all under the realm. So a better way of thinking rather than left and right as in you know, conservative liberal, because I mean the left right thing came from like the French Parliament right where people were seated based on their political alliances. So it's not a good tool, a better if you want to use a left right comparison. And this is why I say leftists is that if you were to draw a horizontal line, and on one side you've got no government, and on the other side you have total government tyranny, right. And the Founders wanted to be as close to the no government side as they could without descending into anarchy. Right, So that was why they set up our system as they did. On the left side of that line is the total control, total government, and that's generally where all of the isms like fascism and communism and socialism, that's where they live. They live over there more more government control, or as they call it, the people. Danny says. What compounds this dumpster fire in Maine is that Janet Mills was is god awful herself, and although popular in Maine, they lean heavily left. She is Tim Wall's light with a wig. The fraud investigations that are and will happen in Maine are likely the reason she dropped out, because she knows she will be implicated as highly negligent in the not too distant future. She is left of left. Platner is way left of her, and that's today's Democrat Party. David says. Old Chucky Schumer can write a new book. Call it main Camp Boom roasted. Jeff suggests instead of commune Nazi, do democrat plus Nazi equals demo crazy Democrats democracy. Thank you so much for the fantastic news and your sense of humors. Truly appreciated. Have a blessed weekend. Thank you, Kathy, you two. John says the Democrats like to proclaim punch a Nazi, yet they keep embracing them and promoting them. That's what I started the show off by saying that John that like, we may progress with them, right, We told them stop saying punch a Nazi. That's not good for the society, for the political discourse whatever. And so they have taken our advice, they listen to us, and so now they're nominating Nazis. But as I said earlier, they may have course correct over corrected, I should say, they may have. Yeah, it's the pendulum swung a bit too far the other direction. And then John says, I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the where read and go to Raleigh for the teachers just happens to be on May Day. It is it is not a coincidence at all. They talk about it in their materials if you just go to their website, they talk about like May one was chosen because it's you know, International Workers Day, which is a it was a commie holiday May may Day, like Soviet Union implemented it as as the you know the workers Day May Day celebrations and all that tell it goes go look at the Babylon b Hank says, Remember in Communist Day, you take not received, so you take gifts from us for the betterment of humanity. Yes, it's sorry. Instead of like Santa Claus coming and giving you presents, Santa Claus comes and takes them. Joey from Ashville says, my ration card came on May Day. But the balance says, I ohe so off to the re education camp. I go democracy. I don't know, I don't know how well no, because well, I guess we're gonna have to work at all in because Nazi Tattoo who claimed to be a Communist but is running as a Democrat, so we got to so Communazi dem demo Communazi. I don't know. I think we're getting too many labels. I think I'm just gonna call him awful. No, sorry, that already means affluent white female liberals. Sorry, so yeah, I think I'm gonna stick with Communazi So how about this. Apparently people in the party were convinced by Plattner's argument, right, Seth Mandel at commentary dot Org. Apparently they were convinced by this argument made by a guy who said, you know, America deserved nine to eleven. This is Hassan Piker once again said we deserve nine to eleven and has been enthralled with political violence more generally, has called for capitalists to be murdered in the streets and specific US senators to be assassinated. Right, this is the guy that that endorsed Platner, and this has it has set off some alarms for some few progressive activists, one of whom is Shannon Watts from the gun control advocacy group Mom's Demand Action. I'll tell you what she said in a moment. There are some rare progressive activists with a conscience, gun control advocate Shannon Watts who has blocked me on Twitter even though I had no interactions with her. There must be a block list or something, But anyway, she's been railing against the left, support for Platner and its giddy embrace of anti Semitic influencer Hassan Piker, and she tweeted to remind everybody that Piker praised Platner by saying, quote, he was pro hamas he was giving Hamas credit in twenty fourteen. What more do you bleeping want? But the bases heart is with Platner. They just they just can't get off of the anti Jews juice, you know. Mendel goes on to say in this commentary piece, a kind of thirsty adolescence that characterizes too much of the political class of these days. In order to appeal to those they consider the cool kids, democrats have been cursing like sailors for a few years now. That is so true. That's like we all took note of this, right or all of a sudden, everybody's saying these curse words, like in speeches at rallies and even in interviews and stuff, And every time they drop a curse word, the crowd's like, yeah, awesome, and it's like it's like they're performing in the school cafeteria in the hopes that the cool kid table lets them sit at it. It's just said, so this is where they are. The race to the bottom in American politics is a fierce competition these days. He says. The frightening part here is that Platner ought to be the bottom, but he clearly is not. What comes next? What other stations will this circus train be rolling into? Fair questions? David Harsanyi, writing at The Washington Examiner, says, there's virtually nothing a leftist can say or do that is disqualifying at this point. There really isn't. Well, Okay, maybe if a leftist were to come out and say something like men cannot get pregnant, that might be disqualifying. I mean within their own party. Does it matter to Chuck Schumer that this guy referred to himself as a communist? Does that matter? How about the Podbros. These were the coffee fetchers and show that then parlayed that work into appointments as staffers in the Obama administration, and then after the Obama administration ended, they launched their podcast, which they humbly call Pod Save America, swapping out God in an obvious way. But Jon Favreau not the actor, because I actually like that guy. But this Jon Favreau is one of the Pod bros. And he says, Graham Platner isn't just our best and only chance to beat Susan Collins. He's a good, decent man who has struggled and grown and is always trying to do better. I hope everyone with reservations takes a little time to get the know to get to know the real life version of him, not what the algorithm throws in our faces. See. I kind of feel like, if you want to know who the real Graham Platner is, I feel like reading the stuff he wrote on Reddit a decade ago and since, like the in the this past decade, like when he didn't think that anybody knew who he was and he was anonymous, right, and he was saying all of these things, But we're supposed to just ignore all of that and say, well, he said he's sorry about all of that. By the way, he also said that women bear responsibility for their own rapes. That's what he said on Reddit as well, not disqualifying in a Democrat primary, I guess saying if you get so drunk that you get raped, like you need to bear responsibility for that. Like, yeah, do you remember I maybe dating myself on this one too? Do you remember there was a Republican here in North Carolina and some old posts that he had made on a blog a website comments section, and he claimed that he was a Nazi. What was his name, Oh, that's right, it was Mark Robinson, the lieutenant governor of North Carolina in his run for governor. And it came out right before the election that he had made all those posts, remember, and the one that they kept focusing on, mainly because the media could not publish like the Lewde and lascivious g pornographic stuff because it was a porn website, which I didn't even know people like you go to a porn website and drop comments and I don't understand that culture at all. But in one case he was He says, I'm a Nazi, and that's what the that's what they ran with. Those were the headlines I'm a black Nazi I think actually is what he said, which, like, that's obviously a joke. He's using the left's argument or them calling everybody a Nazi because again, remember back in the day, they were running around calling every Republican a Nazi before nominating a guy who had a Nazi tattoo on there on his chest. Right before that, they were calling everybody else they disagreed with. They were saying, we're all Nazis, right, And so Robinson was obviously making a joke that I disagree with their politics. I hate the Democrats, so obviously I'm a black Nazi, right, that's the joke. But no, no, that was treated as if it was a declaration of his politics. Right. But tattooing the death Camp Nazi emblem on your chest and bragging to friends about it and showing it off when you're drinking at the bar for almost twenty years, that is not a declaration of one's beliefs. When you claim on a website that you're a communist, when you say you dig it when reacting to a Hamas Go pro helmet cam of the murdering and beating to death of Israeli soldiers and you say I dig it, when you say, oh, I'm a bit big fan of this Holocaust denier, anti semi podcaster. Right, when you say these things, this is not indicative of your ideology. See, here's the thing. The base believes him, and that's what they want. That's what they want now. Eric Ericson said, we went from outrage over the Oka hand gesture and Pete Hegseth's tattoo to the actual Nazi SS tattoo being no big deal. It's remarkable the media shift, highlighting yet again how in the pocket of the left the press core is all right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
