The Democratic establishment is finally starting to listen to the people. We want a Democratic Party that is not behold into corporate interest, that does not take A-PAC money, and we've proven that we can win that way. Look at Zaraan Mamdani in New York. He took on the billionaire class, didn't take a cent from them. They spent millions upon millions of dollars fear-mongering and race-baiting and using Islam. Lomophobia. And guess what happened? He won and he whipped their asses twice by double digits. Finally, the consulting class is starting to take note of this. Veteran Democratic strategist, James Carvel, who at the beginning of the year said what Democrats should do is just play dead.

Let the Republicans make a mess of everything. He's finally starting to see the light. Let me show you how much this has changed in such a micro period of time. Here's James Carvel in April of this year. James Carvel says Democrats need, to stop letting Bernie Sanders and AOC define the party. It's April 26, 2025. Here's James Carvel now. Carvel, how about a sweeping, aggressive, unvarnished platform of pure economic rage? This is what I'm talking about. And I think they're finally starting to get it. The base moved before the strategist moved. And you might remember that he got into a little bit of a curfuffle with David Hogg. And David Hogg is a Parkland shooting survivor who has gotten into

politics. He's a great progressive voice, and he has a PAC where he raises money to fund young Democratic progressives and endorse them. This is a generation that went unprotected with all of these ridiculous gun laws, and now they're completely active. James Carville called him a little twirp and said that he shouldn't be in politics and they kind of got into this fight. And this was just a few months ago. And now look at where we are. Aaron Regenberg talks about James Carville moving. And here is an excerpt.

This offers Democrats the greatest gift you can have in American politics. A second chance. This is from James Carvel. I'm now an 81 year old man and I know that in the minds of many, I carry the torch from a so-called centrist political era. Yet it is abundantly clear, even to me, that the Democratic Party must now run on the most populous economic platform since the Great Depression. It is time for Democrats to embrace a sweeping aggressive, unvarnished, unapologetic, and altogether unmistakable platform of pure economic rage. This is our only way out of the abyss. And David Hogg retweets it and

says times are changing. And this is absolutely the way that the Democratic Party has to forge ahead. You cannot present to the American public like a lot of Democratic establishment candidates do, that I take money from the same people that wanted Trump to win more than they wanted Kamala to win. Then you just look like you are a controlled opposition party. And we have to unshackle ourselves from these corporations because unregulated incremental capitalism has harmed the working class and the Democratic Party has abandoned the working class and it left a huge void that a populist dictator like Trump who is a liar with the worst intentions ever was able to come in and capture because there's one thing that Canks can't spin. He can't spend when somebody goes to the grocery

store and they're paying more for something. You can't spend that you don't get a race. You can't spin that all of a sudden your health care premiums quadrupled. You can't spin that. People feel that. People see that. It is an economic pain that the Democrats have got to advocate for fully and completely. The data is showing that this is going to work. And I just, my entire life, every time there's a Republican president, the economy has always tanked.

And the biggest myth that the Republican Party has perpetrated on Americans is that they are fiscally conservatives, that the Republican Party are fiscal conservatives. And, oh, no, I vote that way because I'm in business. I vote for my pocketbook. Well, the Republicans always tank the economy and then they bail out corporations. They don't bail out working class people. They always bail out the corporations that they unregulated the market for. and then they built those corporations get this big bubble, and then it bursts, and then, quote, they're too big to fail. So let's look at what Republican policies are doing for us right now in 2025. Play the video. Your costs are up versus a year ago. Groceries 85%. Utilities 78%. Health care

67%. Housing, 66%. Gasoline, 54%. The bottom line is this. Americans feel like prices are rising in each and every single part of their lives rising ever climber and they just don't feel like kate bolwin that they can catch a break the treasury secretary new comments kind of dismiss the impact tariffs is having on inflation also saying the prices are going to be coming down in weeks some of the prices are going to be coming down in months what do americans think about that yeah they think he's full of it that's exactly what they think i mean just take a look here tariffs raising prices are raising prices right now i'm going to cover kate's side of the screen 71 percent how dare you how dare i do that 84% of Democrats, 74% of independents, and even a majority of Republicans, when you can get a majority of Republicans to agree with majority of Democrats, you know that the pain is being felt by the American public right now.

The Treasury Secretary can try and tell the people something, but they can feel in their pocketbooks. They simply put, don't buy what he and this administration is selling them when it comes to tariffs. The gig is up, and the Secretary, the Treasury Secretary who delivers all of this. bullshit, this propaganda on cable news all of the time is a billionaire. He's a billionaire that sucks up to Donald Trump who doesn't know what the hell he's doing. They have driven the economy into the ground for working class Americans. But the richest Americans have gotten $800 billion richer in just 10 months. The gig is up. You can't spend those prices. So to all of these fiscal conservatives and these country club Republicans that just say, well, I'm, you know,

I'm conservative because of the finances and I'm in business or I'm a banker. I'm in oil and gas or I'm this. It's bullshit. Every single time, Republicans drive the economy into the ground. Wake up. You've been lied to. The lie from Ronald Reagan, the trickle down economics, it never came to fruition. They are liars. They've been lying to. you and then to get your eye off the ball, they scapegoat, black and brown people, gay people, trans people. And the Democrats need to have an economic populist message that says, our message is for every American. That includes trans Americans. That includes gay Americans. That includes black and brown Americans. That includes women. That includes everybody. The economy should be

for everybody. And moving along, Trump is flailing so much right now. And no one can hide it any longer. Put up this headline, Kylie. Okay, New York Times reports that Republicans are quietly looking beyond Trump. We've been reporting on that for two or three months, but that's neither here nor there. Axio says red alert time for Trump and the GOP. Politico reports maga culture, culture war is now failing. The culture war, people aren't buying into it.

People don't like it. People don't like the cruelty. Trump clearly declining in many polls. Trump is a weak, failing president, and the media is finally starting to say so, because you cannot hide it. This man goes on these crazy dementia rants. He is so razzled dazzled in the office after trying to, in the Oval Office, after trying to scare everybody for months of Zoran Mam Dani. Zoran Mamdani has him praising FDR. This is the easiest guy on the planet to dogwalk because he's got dementia.

He's got malignant narcissism, and everybody can see his health is completely flailing. And moving along here, we have, how is Kank's going to deal with this? How does he deal with low polling numbers? Rule number one, he lies. So a couple days ago, he was on Air Force One, and he was saying that he had the greatest polling numbers ever in the history of his life, which we all just saw. They're like the lowest they could ever be. But then rule number two is he starts throwing ketchup.

And by that, I mean, he starts firing people. Put this up. Paul Sperry tweets, developing stories, senior White House aides and cabinet heads are bracing for major personnel shakeup. As insiders tell me, POTUS is growing increasingly unhappy with, quote, economic messaging, among other things, shakeup could include chief of staff in New Year, developing. And so this is what he did in Trump 1.0. He, if somebody disagreed with him or tried to uphold the rule of law, he fired them.

And he's been able to keep this cabinet together for about 10 months. But as their policies keep wreaking havoc, pain, abuse, and trauma on the electorate, he's going to have to start blaming somebody. And so he's going to do what he always does. He's going to flood the zone. He's going to probably fire Susie Wiles. Maybe he'll fire Pan Bondi or somebody. But he's going to start shaking it up. And here's what's so disturbing about this whole thing is he will bring in even more incompetent people.

It's not like he's all of a sudden going to be like, oh, yeah, I want to hire somebody that is going to disagree with me. I want to hear everybody's opposing views. It's going to be an absolute shit show. In order to report on this political climate, how you receive and read your news is so incredibly important. And I'm happy to share that pumps and I always go to our ground news app. and we both signed up for the Vantage plan. Ground News is basically like the Spotify of news listener, telling you who owns each outlet,

where it leans politically, and if what you're reading is even true or not. Here is a prime example of a right-leaning headline versus a left-leaning headline. The left-leaning headline says, Trump gloats over traitor, MTG's decision to quit as MAGA left reeling. My Ground News Vantage plan tells me this is a left-leaning publication,

and that this article has very high factuality. Right-leaning publication reports it as follows. Trump celebrates MTG's resignation while AOC scrutinizes the timing, American Newswire, tells me that this has a very, very low factuality.

But I want to remind you in the background of all of this, this chaos, this incompetence, the crimes that this administration is committing, the shakedowns, the enriching all of the billionaire class, abandoning and shitting on all of these working class people who supported him and believed in him and thought that he loved America, real Americans are still here and we still care

about democracy. And we know our country has so many problems. But it's something we want to fight for because we're American and we like it here. And we don't want to give it up to these depraved imbeciles. And the Republican Party has always exploited the military in such a disgusting way, in my opinion. And that continues to this day. You have a draft dodger, Kanks, who's never served. All he's ever done is disparaged people, combat vets who were wounded in battle, disparaged them and thought they were weak, losers, suckers, et cetera. So now they're going after Senator Mark Kelly, who was in the Navy, was in NASA, an astronaut, and now he's a United States senator. And they're going after him.

him because he told his fellow service members do not follow an illegal order. Because Trump has immunity. The Supreme Court, as corrupt as they are, made sure that he can be the tyrant that he is. But these service members don't have immunity. And one day there will be a reckoning. And so Mark Kelly, ever the patriot, ever the empathetic person to fellow service members, gave them words of encouragement, do not follow an illegal order. You have taken an oath. to the Constitution. Now Pete Hexeth, because everything he does is for a party of one, for a guy who blew a guy named Bubba, and Vladimir Putin has the information on it. Pete Hexeth, who text war plans with emojis. This guy claims the moral high ground, and now he's wanting to investigate

and recall Mark Kelly to some military tribunal, because that's what these people like to do. They like to humiliate the good guys. Put up this tweet. Mark Kelly tweeted the following. When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the MSS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, Test Pilot School, four space shuttle flights at NASA. and every day since I retired, which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents. In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets. At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle,

and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Colombia. I did all of this in service to this country. that I love and has given me so much. Secretary Hegg says tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the president's post saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death. If this is meant to intimidate me or other members of Congress from doing our jobs and hiding this and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution. So I leave you all with this so that you can remember that as they have tried

to get us to hate everything about America, there are good, great people here. And the MAGA base is about 30 percent, 30 percent of depraved freaks who have been propagandized, who are in this cult, who massively need deprogramming. They have been sold a bill of lies, their entire lives. They have been served racism daily and they eat it up and they bask in it. But that isn't the majority of us. The majority of us are good. The majority of us know that the President of the United States cannot call for the hanging of U.S. senators and Congress people. This man doesn't give a shit about you, MAGA. He doesn't care about the military. He doesn't care about this country. This is our fight. This is the fight of our generation. This is a worthy cause.

And I want to thank each of you for helping us build this community. Maga has had a 10-year start on building a media ecosystem outside of cable news and the Democrats are playing catch-ups. So you're watching here and on other pro-democracy channels is a part of building a community and fighting for our country. I know you feel helpless. I know it feels overwhelming, but things are happening and we have to stay motivated. We have to stay engaged and we have to hold these elected leaders accountable.
