Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar

All of this is based upon the 2020 New York Times bestseller which imagined an alternative universe in which Hillary Rodham met and dated Bill Clinton but never married him. Instead, in the life Clinton really led, she goes on to thrive as a Northwestern University professor and launches an eventual presidential run real world events such as rape accusations against Bill Clinton and Donald Trump play out in the novel but in vastly altered ways.

I was looking though at the, there was a new Democratic primary poll that came out that included her in the mix and she wasn't faring too well. It was interesting. It was like Biden was number one. Here we go. Biden 33, Bernie, still number two, 17. Kamala below Bernie at 12. Warren at nine. Buttigieg at eight. AOC at six and Clinton at six. So just another indication that America is not ready for Hillary.

the reduction of working hours constituted the prime demand in the class conflicts that spawned America's first industrial strike, its first citywide trade union councils, its first labor party, its first general strikes, its first organizing uniting skilled and unskilled workers, its first strike by females and its first attempts at regional and national labor organization

Yeah and by the way guys the book is called Majority Minority that's why we mentioned that a couple of times. We can go ahead and put that book jacket up on the screen and highly recommend it to all of you.

So many people think it's that Latinos are looking differently at US political parties but what I would argue is that actually Latinos are looking differently at themselves they see themselves through a different prism not necessarily or by the way we shouldn't be generalizing across all Latinos but those who are shifting their votes in particular we can generalize a little bit more about we're seeing them in pockets of the country like South Texas, South Florida you have a lot of Americans there who actually self-identify as white Hispanics so in the census you know we you're asked your ethnicity whether you're Hispanic or not Hispanic and then you're asked your race white black Asian American a Native Pacific Islander etc.

Dugin's most influential work it's called the foundation of geopolitics it was written in the 1990s it's recommended reading by the Russian military and which Putin is almost certainly familiar with it raised three distinct possibilities in 1997 that Russia should invade Georgia it should annex Ukraine and should attempt to separate Britain from the rest of Europe and that the seeds of discord should be sown in the united States.

This is not a war with Ukraine this is a confrontation with globalism as a whole planetary phenomenon confrontation at all levels and ideologically Russia rejects everything in globalism monopolarity atlanticism on the one hand liberalism anti-tradition technocracy a great reset in the word in the other it is clear European leaders are part of the Atlantic liberal elite and we want war with her.

By the way, that was really gross. I thought it was disgusting even at the time.

It was the excellent movie on Netflix titled Munich: The Edge of War, it actually caused me to buy a book

He is a conservative pundit and he is most famous for or infamous for publishing a book that platformed the biggest, most salient lie leading America into the Iraq war.

He published an entire book about the alleged connection between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda, a connection that didn't exist, that was thoroughly debunked, but that was used to push America into the worst foreign policy disaster in modern history.

So Katie Couric wrote this, you know, very dishy memoir, which actually was very interesting.

When she was at ABC and she was working with Jeff again, he made a push to try to bring in this woman who we now know he was having an affair with, Alison, as like a PR person.

She also reveals in that piece that the two had moved their families in next to each other. She actually had bought the apartment above him and his family.

well Steven Hayes has a new book out called The Connection and mr haze from the New York Times yesterday they have a quote from the staff report that is scheduled to be coming out from the independent commission uh on 9 11 during the sometime during the next couple weeks the staff report found that there was no credible evidence that Iraq and al-qaeda cooperated on tax against the United States and that repeated contacts between Iraq and al-qaeda do not appear to have resulted in a collaborative relationship

I think liberating Iraq will send a strong message to Iran, North Korea, and other hostile regimes not only because it will show that we will the United States will not tolerate bullies especially bullies with weapons of mass destruction but it will also I think hopefully show what a free liberated people what a free liberated Iraqi people can do for themselves and it will again be a fabulous model not only for the Middle East but for places throughout the world that haven't had these kinds of freedoms in the past

there can no longer be any serious argument about whether Saddam Hussein's Iraq worked with Osama bin Laden al-Qaeda to plot against Americans

she is always cognizant of what her presence and her wins represent that she always sees herself as the answer and reaps the benefits from that

there was not any discussion of policy the why she would run we launched into a void without a world view

this was her thinking sign on to his bill first to get the credit for taking a bold stand and make the announcement as a surprise at the end of August in a church back home in Oakland

she had been told by the states that she had so thin a grasp of the policy that she said she was backing she said she was backing Medicaid for All in that church

They have some great traditions and more actually read a book recently about People native communities in alaska who have some overlap and share with people in canada as well about eskimo I forget what I think it's called my life with the eskimos about a norwee Norwegian-american explorer who went to upper canada and 1900 fascinating stuff.

She's not being particularly self-reflective

Hillary kept pointing her finger at Comey and Russia.

She wants to make sure all these narratives get spun the right way.

make sure all these narratives get spun the right way

there's a theory by these women, the field sisters, professors both of them who wrote this book called Racecraft and I asked whether talking about whiteness, white people this way ends up shoring up a kind of racial identity that is less productive, less healthy and ultimately perhaps feeds into a kind of politics that I don't subscribe to.

A key to Noam Chomsky's famous Manufacturing Consent was revealing institutional incentives within media that come together to produce manufactured content on behalf of the powerful.

Now, we recently covered a groundbreaking study here from Jackabin, "You Govern From the Center", for working-class politics, which sought to identify the type of candidates who perform best with the multiracial working class. Progressive populists who leaned into class rhetoric did the best. Woke moderates, people like Kamala and Pete, who cloaked their corporate agenda in academic language, they did the absolute worst.

He's the author of Dignity.

And, Chris, one of the things that Crystal and I most appreciate about your work is that you just simply talk to people and you don't judge them.

And I think there's some of that going on here.

This is just a really bad way of kind of trying to do that.

What I call, you know, when you feel stigmatized, when you feel the world is against you, you tend to you tend to make reckless decisions partly to, you know, to kind of like owning the stigma like, you know, you're going to call me a deplorable.

You can buy Jen's book, Dear Heartley, starting today and everyone in the audience. You're each going home with a copy of it.

I think what really important for us for this book was look, you know, no statements or whatever on guns, but there are a lot of well-meaning people across this country who joined the NRA.

It was for a long time one of the largest lobbying organizations in Washington and then it collapsed almost within a couple of years, but it still has quite a bit of cachet in our culture.

Well, look why the reason I was so interested in writing a book about the national rifle association is that it's kind of a black box.

We don't really know much about what's happening inside the organization other than what the organization wants others to know about it.

We don't know much about the personalities and the people inside and that's what the the book Misfire really does it gets behind the scenes and explains to you who these characters are from Wayne LaPierre this eccentric and anxiety ridden CEO to his wife Susan LaPierre to many other executives and folks who have ultimately been accused of tens of millions of dollars of misconduct and spending that have led the NRA into crisis.
