She is a writer at RedState dot com. She writes under the name Sister Tolja, one of the OG bloggers back in the day. Hello, Stacey, how are you? Hey, Pete, good to be on with you. Got a lot to cover today. Yes, So we're gonna have to talk real fast. Let's start with the Well, we were talking about the election, the Massy defeat up in Kentucky. I know you wrote about it at red State. So what are your thoughts on that election outcome? Well, you know, I, like a lot of people, I'm like, you know, good riddance. I mean, you know, it's one thing to be a libertarian, which you know, Matthew has been pretty much throughout his whole career. That's fine, but it seemed like under Trump he was deliberately kind of going against the grain. I believe there was an analysis done of the first year of the one hundred and nineteenth Congress last year, and he had some seventy three votes against the party line, which you know, basically was in him rejecting certain aspects of the Trump agenda. And of course, you know, I think what happened basically is that the primary voters in his district, District four, basically said, you know, we want to with somebody that's going to vote with Trump and that's going to support the Trump agenda, not somebody who has his own agenda. And that's I think that's why they threw him out. And you know, it was interesting about what happened after, you know, became kind of official that he lost. You know, he really just took it to a new low. He was said he had tried to call to congratulate his opponent, Ed Gawrain, who won the primary, he said, but he had a tough time finding him in Tel Aviv. Yeah. Yeah, we played the clip like right out of this. The first thing he said, Yeah, the first thing he said, and you know, I got a text on the line here which i've you know, followed up with the response like, oh, it's Israel first, and they bought the they bought this congressional seat. The Israelis bought this congressional seat. But again, like that, you're robbing the voters of agency. You had a fifty five percent to forty five percent victory of a Republican over another Republican, and like we're I guess were all of those people paid or something? Right? Right, It's just you know, you know, it's again, it's just one of those things where you know, I think Masthew's time had come, you know, and I think the speech that he gave immediately after, where he made the comment about Tel Aviv and then the very next line he said, we've conducted an honorable campaign. Yeah, started to finish. I mean, you know, I just can't think of a more fitting contrast and more fitting into his time in Congress. Well, and he also you know, citing his honorable campaign, you know, also with you know, twenty four hours before that concession speech, they had sent out what appeared to be a Trump endorsement of him, which was actually from years ago. But they sent it out as if Trump had just endorsed him in like the final day of the campaign, Like that's not very honorable. Either, right, it's not. And that was again, it was a twenty twenty two endorsement, and of course Trump was livid about it. And you know, when I first saw that, I thought, well, maybe this is something the Massy campaign is doing. Maybe Massey is not aware of it. Possibly I was trying to give him a little bit of the benefit of that, which was not smart on my part. And sure enough, after Trump spoke out against what they did, Massey himself responded to Trump's comments on x by saying, you mean this endorsement, and he basically doubled down. So it's like, you know, he voted against the Trump agenda at least seventy three times in the first year of the one hundred and nineteenth Congress. But yeah, he wants to try to deceive his voters into thinking that Trump endorsed him at the last minute headed into the primary. It's just like I said, it's a fitting end for him. It really is. Well, as Jarvis Beth said, don't think of it as a loss of a congressman. Think of it as a gain of a podcaster, so exactly. Yeah, we'll see, all right, let's shift gears out. In San Diego, there was a shooting at a mosque. Seventeen year old Caine Clark and eighteen year old Caleb Vasquez named by San Diego police as the attackers in this they targeted a mosque. What do we know about their motive because apparently they wrote a seventy five page manifesto, which now makes me wonder if that's even real because they're soventeen and eighteen years old. I don't even think that people that young can write that many words, but they apparently did. Well, you know, Pete, in fairness, you know, we have to think a lot of things are composed by AI now too, so that AI could have had a hand in helping them write this manifesto. But yeah, after the shooting which filled three people on Monday in San Diego at the mosque, you know, the police obviously did a search and they found what they described as a seventy five page manifesto, and it kind of up ends kind of the emerging narratives from the usual suspects about the motives of the gunman. You know, I think you were. Early on people were saying, oh, this had to be extremist, right wing pro Trump vance magas who were motivated by hatred of Muslims. But if you look at the manifesto and if we go by that, they were people who they were teenagers who blamed the Jews for everything. That's something we see a lot from the left of these days. They blamed the Jews for everything. They hated Jewish people, they hated Islam but apparently not Muslims. They hated gay people, they hated trans people, they hated women, they basically hated just about everything. And they actually encouraged the left to try to shoot to kill Trump and and and to actually succeed the next time around. So again this these are you know, these are deranged people obviously and probably were fed a you know, diet of derangement from from the internet and social media over the years. And this was unfortunately the result, which was three people were killed. One of the people killed was the security guard at the mosque, a man named Amin Abdullah. Have you heard about his social media posts. I've read some things about a social media you know, Pete. I my main focus you know, in the in the in the days, in the hours in the days following, was you know, to try to try to track down the motivations of the people who who who did it, you know, because you know, whether we agree or disagree with the mosque, and obviously that mosque has ties to some of the nine to eleven attackers. Obviously, you know, and I know this is not what you were doing, but I feel like, you know, while it does need to be pointed out, you know, I don't want anybody coming at you or me trying to think trying to say, well, you know, these people had evil views, they deserve what happened. Oh no, not at all. I was simply pointing out. What you're doing. Yeah, he just there's a post that surfaced out of his account where somebody posted a picture of Hitler and says, do you know, do you now understand why I did what I did? And he responded for sure, right, And so it's just like it's not lost on me that neo Nazis that hate Jews attacked a mosque. I don't even know if they knew it was a mosque. Maybe they just. It's possible that they didn't. That's that's a very good point. They just saw diverse looking people. Yeah, right. And I've also read somewhere I think that the mom for that mosque also was trying to justify the October seventh attacks. I haven't I haven't seen exact comments, but I've seen several people talking about shortly after the October seventh attacks, the Hamasterist attacks against Israeli civilians, that there was justification on his part for Yeah. Yeah, it's just I make the point only that here you have people that shared a similar view about the Jews, and yet one attacks the other. It's just like the the neat clean right wing narrative. You know, right wingers did this kind of thing that this neat narrative, it doesn't hold. And my view on a lot like virtually all of these mass shootings, I mean, the Tom Nichols referred to them as the Lost Boys. It's a Dylan Roof, Like, I see a lot of parallels to the Dylan Roof shootings that he did down in Charleston, you know, where he's like, I'm going to start the race war because no one else is stepping up to do it, and just a nihilism and just an anger at the world. These guys were both in cells involuntary celibates or whatever. And so they were just angry at everything and everyone, and they got radicalized online. Apparently right they did. They actually met online and through the process of elimination, they found out that they both lived in the San Diego area, so they met up in person and presumably planned this attack. Yeah, all right, so we'll follow that real quick. The Mangionistas I covered these moonbats yesterday. They gave what appeared to be like an impromptu press conference outside of the Manhattan Courthouse where Luigi Mangioni is on trial or Mangione is on trial, and they came out and said just the most awful things about Brian Thompson. He deserved to die, It's good that his kids don't have a father anymore, and uh. And then of course they went into the whole you know, appress or a press social murder, Hassan Piker line of argument from uh, you know, from Marxism. That's correct, Pete. And and you know, one of the things that's come out of this is is how did these people get press passes? You know, because you know, and and Eric Adams, who used to be the mayor of New York. You know, he said that he had been aware for years of people who were activists masquerading as journalists who were getting press passes being allowed pressed with and he was trying to kind of reform the credentialing process before he left office, but that when Mom Donnie took office that they scrapped it. I don't know if Mom Donnie's office actually gave these people press passes. I'm not you know, I don't know for sure. But you know, this is not a new thing. We We've I've seen plenty of instances over the year's pete where people who are activists, who wear their little press hats or their little press badges or whatever, they get right in the thick of the protests and they're not doing it to cover. They're doing it because they're actual protesters and activists. And that's basically what these women appear to be. And they were completely and thoroughly unapologetic and what they said, I mean, they were feeling it, oh yeah, and you know, and the worst I think one of the worst things about it is that when Mom Donnie was asked about it, he didn't say that he'd revoke their press passes. He just said they were going to look into it. Yeah, they'll review. Yeah, well we've already looked into it, buddy, Yeah. Exactly, we'll review the process for the credentialing. But you're exactly right, Like we've seen this at the Antifa riots and stuff. They just slap on some little homemade press label and then they're like, oh, you can't touch me, even though they're actively participating in the bad behavior. And these women they run an Instagram account called the Mangionistas, and they make it very clear that they support him, like he's his lawyer had to come out and say they don't speak for Luigi Manngionn yet all they're saying is exactly what he said in his manifesto, right, is exactly so they do speak for him, and they he's in there pleading not guilty, and they're out there on the street screaming that, oh no, he did it and he was justified in doing it. But you know, part of this is also there's there's been this history where women like fling themselves at psychopaths, and I don't like you know, Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, Yeah, it's like, so this is not really a new phenomenon. Right, you know, because the age of social media, it makes it a little more stark. Yeah, and makes it a little more stark and shocking to see, you know, because you kind of have this instant video. It was it was actually the video was actually taken by New York Daily News courtroom reporter who was just as this, you know, kind of flabbergasted or what she was hearing, as everybody else did, and she decided to share it. She's like, Okay, I'm here covering this legitimately. Why are these people here? And And that's a good question when when you're covering something, really anything, but especially something is as important as this trial and the hearings that are related to it, you want people who are there legitimately, who are going to be there to report on the actual story. And they're not there as active as trying to pimp a cause. Well, and you risk a mistrial, right, I mean if they because they've said one of them said that they were going to try to like let the potential jurors know their rights, Like wow, like, how exactly are you going to be doing that? You try to communicate with a juror? And I said yesterday like please please try to do that so you get thrown in jail for contempt. But that's assuming you've got like a not crazy judge, because no judge exactly. We're talking about New York here. Yeah, let's keep that in mind. Okay, Yeah, it's an important caveat So all right.

There was one race out in Texas where this is a Democrat primary for Congress. Okay, and the woman who finished first but not with enough support to avoid a runoff, so she's going to a runoff. Her name is Maureen Galindo, and well, here are her thoughts about what she would like to see and acted if she is a member of Congress, and if she has any control over, you know, any kind of policies here. When I say that I want billionaire Zionists in prison, that does not mean I want Jews in in turn me camp. So why am I getting a whole bunch of death threats and maga insult which actually makes sense? I realized, like MAGA and Jewish Zionists apparently are the exact same people. They talk the exact same way, and that's because MAGA is the developing Christian Zionists, and that's how they want to create a religion state in the United States of America is through MAGA, which that's the goal of Zionism is to create these white supremacist religion states. So, like, I don't care what religion you are. If you are a Zionist, meaning that you believe that you are just entitled to land or someone's just entitled to land based off of religious beliefs, and that you'll kill all of the Semites for it, then yeah, I mean that you're a danger to humanity and belong in prison, especially if you have the political and economic resources to make that happen. And that's how we would that's how we will get all of the billionaires Zionists in prison is through all of the business. Okay, so yeah, we're going to lock up all Zionists or billionaire Zionists and maybe some Maga in there. And apparently Christians two not really clear where the limiting principle is. Well, of course, there is no limiting principle that's I've been saying that for years about leftism. There is no limiting principle to this stuff. This is from the Texas Tribune, a piece by Gabby Berenbaum. Democratic leaders are condemning Texas congressional candidate Maureen Galindo over her latest round of anti Semitic comments. She finished first in the Democrat primary for Texas' thirty fifth congressional district. She is now in a runoff against Bear County Sheriff's deputy Johnny Garcia. Democratic leaders in Washington and Texas have backed Guardia amidst a mysterious six figure advertising campaign to boost Galindo, who by profession is a sex therapist and housing advocate. I am for housing. I like houses, yay houses. Last weekend, Galindo said in an Instagram post that she intends to write legislation to turn Carnes Ice Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking. So she wants to imprison American Zionists. Don't know how she's going to define that legislatively, Like I would like to see you say you're going to write some legislation about this, but could you like? I don't. I don't like the idea of voting for somebody before I know what their plan is. I don't like it when a candidate says, oh, I have a plan to you know, fix the economy. Oh well, what's your plan? Well I'm not going to say I'll unveil it after you elect. MEMM. No, that sounds like you just don't want to do the work unless you actually get the job. So why don't you Why don't you tell me what it is you want to do? So why don't you know, draft some legislation, write it up, and then we can see how exactly you're going to start throwing people in jail based on what. But where is the money coming from? We'll take a look. In a moment. From the text line, David says that Democrat Maureen Galindo has the annoying voice where she ends every statement like it's a question, I think that what is there's a term for that? Uh? Was it up speaking or something like that? Or yeah, it is super annoying. It's you know who also does that? Sean Hannity. It's he ends every sentence on an upswing, like a lilt that goes up, so you never know when the sentence is actually over, when he's made his final point, or is he going to make some other point, because he never brings it down, and I like, I find it like, I don't know, like uncomfortable. He's like building tension all the time. And that's yeah, this is the same sort of thing. Alan says, Well, she seems nice. Eddie says, I automatically discount someone's opinion when they talk like everything is a question. Yeah, there's it's another one, all right. So her name is Maureen Galindo. She finished top in the field in the primary. She was the top votainer in the Democrat primary, but she did not secure enough support to avoid a runoff, so she along with the second votainer, Johnny Garcia, are going to be going to a runoff. She has been making this issue of turning the ICE detention center in the district into a prison for quote American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking, she said, quote. It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists. She said. She will be appearing on Tucker Carlson's show I think tomorrow. I believe, I kid the runoff is highly consequential for both parties. This according to the Texas Tribune, Republicans in the legislature redrew the San Antonio area seat last summer to turn a district that Vice President Kamala Harris won by over thirty three percentage points into one that would have backed President Trump by a margin of about ten percent. All of the pro Galindo spend has come from a pack called Lead Left Lead Left Pack. It is described as a pop up group that was formed in early May and so it has not yet had to disclose its donors. Lead Left Pack appears to be tied to the GOP, And of course Democrats are now outraged, how dare you fund this rabid anti Semite so our voters picker? Which remember Democrats have been doing this for at least two election cycles. They have been putting up crazies in Republican primaries. They've been backing crazies in Republican primaries in order to make it easier. Heck, that's why they were giving Donald Trump all of the airtime in twenty fifteen, because that to Hillary Clinton and the Democrats and media. But I repeat myself. That's who they wanted to run against because they thought he would be so so easy to beat. And now the. Republicans are doing two Democrats the very same thing, except they're actually able to win their races, because if you put somebody up who is a rabbit anti Semite in the Democrat primary, she wins. Hmm. That's why I say, like, if all of the Nick Fouentes crowd, if they all want if the groy personal you all want to migrate over to the Democrat Party by Saya. Punch Bowl News reported that the metadata on its website initially linked to win Red, a major Republican donation platform. Lead Left Pack has not responded to questions about its donors or what entities are behind it. The pack spent nearly six hundred thousand dollars on broadcast, end cable, and additional funds on mailer boosting Galindo and bashing Garcia Madison Andres. A Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spokesperson The d Triple C called GOP interference on Galindo's behalf quote extremely dangerous. No matter what your politics are, using virulent anti semitism for your own partisan gain is nothing short of disgusting. Well, I mean you could have just you could have had your people vote no, like Democrats could just vote no. They could say, oh my gosh, this rabid anti semi, we don't want her. But the heart wants what it wants, you know. I mean, that's the thing when you when you give a permission structure inside the Democrat Party for these people who are just asking questions about the Jews. You know, when you when you erect that permission structure, you cannot be surprised when a whole bunch of people who have those views might great into your structure. You have given them permission to be there. When you elevate and platform people like Hassan Piker, when you give voice to this notion that I'm not saying Luigi Mangione should have killed Brian Thompson, but I'm not saying that Charlie Kirk should have been assassinated. But like, when you do that kind of thing, that's the permission structure. In a joint statement, Hakeem Jeffries and the d Triple C chair Susan del Bene said, quote, House Republican leadership must immediately cease propping up this anti Semitic candidacy, pull spending in the race, and forcibly condemned these comments. This vile language by her is disqualifying and has no place in American politics, and certainly not in the Democratic Party. Well, I mean, I think it does. She won your She. Won the most votes in your primary, So you can't say it has no place in the Democrat Party. It obviously does. The way you show that it has no place is that your voters say that stuff has no place and they reject her candidacy. But they did not do that. They actually voted for her. They said, to embrace and uplift a fringe candidate with anti Semitic and extremely dangerous rhetoric and views in order to win an election is beyond the pale. Again, Like the message that she was delivering obviously is resonating with your voters. They voted for her. They have agency over on the text line Monica. I knew Monica would know this word up talk, because I think she has told me before. When when somebody's. Talking and they're like this, and they never and they never bring it down at the end of the sentence, the inflection, the emphasis never concludes. It's unsettling. You know, it's just it's unsettling. I say this as a professional broadcaster. You gotta you gotta bring the resolution to the end of the sentence instead of leaving everybody hanging on your next sentence. It's unsettling. Okay, Monica says, this is called up talk. I had a French roommate in college who did that. That's the only French I know. Well, that end order Beth's favorite, Russ says regarding this anti semi doubt in Texas who finished first in the Democrat primary, named Galindo, he says, it's not like the GOP found this perfectly reasonable woman and coached her on what to say. They just throw a dart at the already existing Democrat field and landed on this particular nutball to throw the money behind. Yeah, and like to quote the old PSA that was you know, on after after school. I learned it by watching you. Okay, right, Like, that's that's what the Republicans are doing. They're doing what Democrats have been doing to Republicans. Democrats have been I mean they even like in North Carolina we had this where they put up actual candidates, Like they went out and recruited Democrats to change their party affiliation and run them as Republicans, and they would fund moon bat Republicans crazies. So see, I said this at the time, like you're not going to like it when the other side starts doing to you what you have been doing to them. And so here we are. As I say often enough, the charge of the hypocrisy carries no purchase any longer. So the Democrats are very upset about all of this. Now Republicans have a runoff of their own in this congressional district. They've got Representative John Luan or Luhan Lujohn. He's running against a veteran Carlos de la Cruz. Now Maureen Galindo and Johnny Garcia, the Democrats that were the top voteiners in their primary. Garcia has responded to the pro Galindo spending with an ad of his own, calling Galindo Maga's favorite and saying Republicans were propping her up because Galindo's quote, conspiracy theories, and hateful words make her the easiest Democrat to beat. Yes, probably so, but also the easiest to win a Democrat primary. Apparently because she did, they they chose wisely. Did they not? I mean, what does that say about you? Right? Your party? Democrats? What does it say about your party? Because again, the money simply amplified her message, and her message was attractive to enough voters that they went out and voted for her. This is the same thing up in Kentucky's fourth district with Gallraine versus Messy. Right, this idea that oh, I'm going to throw a bunch of money and that's what wins the election. Well, no, if you're amplifying crazy messages that don't resonate and are not attractive to the voters, you're not going to win the race. The candidates matter. It's not just money and all the Republicans if they did this, which I have no doubt that this would be true. Even if they did this, they didn't change her messaging. She was already saying this stuff. They just amplified it. And lo and behold, that is a message that resonates with the Democrat primary voters in that district. That's a you problem. In addition, the Blue Dog Action Pack, which backs centrist Democrats don't even know if there's any of those left. They've endorsed. Garcia Project to eighteen a Democrat Party aligned super pac have spent nearly six hundred thousand on their own ads supporting Garcia. Okay, so you've matched the amount of money that this woman had going for her. So again, it's not about the money, it's about the message. In a statement, Galindo stood by her proposal, instead condemning the media for miswording my proposal to sound anti jew. All politicians who have taken Israeli money should be tried for treason for aiding a foreign national with materials to harm Americans, she said, And then Galindo said she doesn't care what any Zionist owned politician thinks. They're exposing themselves as zion which will backfire on them, which is you know, this is under the heading of everybody who disagrees. With me as a Zionist. Yeah, good job Democrats.
