IHIP News: 🚨 Trump HIT OVER THE HEAD in PAINFUL LOSS! Dems ATTACK!

All right, the progressive wing of the. Democratic Party is rising and everybody. is freaking out all across the United. States. But I think one of the most. important voices that is guiding us. through this is David Hogg who should be. the chairman of the DNC, although I. don't think he wants that job because he. is the president of the Leaders We. Deserve. David, how are you after these. big wins? >> I'm feeling great. I'm feeling a lot. better than these centrist Democrats. that have continued to say it's just a. New York thing, it's just Colorado.

thing, and now they're trying to just. say it's just a Michigan thing and it's. not really working anymore. >> You know, I think that I've been saying. this on the podcast. for over a year that a lot of Democrats. after Kamala Harris's loss, instead of looking at Republicans, because we know exactly what they are. They're pathological liars. MAGA is a. death cult. All of their policies. facilitate and lead to death, whether. it's the NRA alliances or the. dismantling of the EPA,

loosening safety regulations, it all. leads to death. So everybody started. looking inward at the Democratic Party. and a lot of conflicts of interest rise. up. And you recently said that you think. AIPAC and NRA are very similar and I. thought it was such a brilliant point. and I completely agree. Will you tell my. viewers about your thinking on this? >> Yeah, I mean, like the bottom line is. both are lobbying groups that have for.

the longest time have been considered. juggernauts in American politics. I. remember after Parkland being told. my classmates and I being told after. Parkland that what while what happened. to us was terrible, we couldn't do. anything about it and we couldn't talk. about the NRA because they were too. powerful. There were many people that. many centrist Democrats out there and. many Democrats in general that didn't. want to talk about the NRA because they. were afraid to stand up to them. And what it took was a group of kids. that went through a school shooting. along with parents of victims speaking. out against the NRA for us to be able to.

really take them down. And now we've. made them basically irrelevant largely. in American politics where they're a. certainly much more of a liability than. they are an asset to people. And think about them as an organization. that literally was lobbying for the. purported right. of somebody like the 19-year-old shooter. at my high school to have an AR-15. despite threatening to shoot up my high. school multiple times. And when you. compare that with what AIPAC is doing, they're going out there and lobbying for. the United States government to give.

arms to an irresponsible group of people. that being the Israeli government that. is going out there and deliberately. using them in horrific war crimes across. Gaza in a genocide that they're. inflicting upon the people there. And I. don't I don't discriminate when it's a. kid if it's kid being killed by a. US-made gun in Parkland or if it's a. child being bombed by a US-produced bomb. in Palestine bombing their school. I. don't think that's something that we.

should discriminate against and say that. those things are all that different. Ultimately, the their children dying. because of the decisions of US policy. makers and it shouldn't matter if. they're in Palestine or if they're in. the United States. If it is the United. States. laws that are causing that to happen in. the first place. >> It's almost as if all of the pro-life. propaganda from the Republican Party has. always been and the progressive. wing of the Democratic Party actually. promotes life and wants to protect life.

As you can imagine over on Fox News, they're going through quite a few things. since Abdul's victory. And Laura Ingram, I don't know if she's horny because. lately she's been talking about how hot. she thinks AOC is. Now she's talking. about how hot Abdul is. Play the clip. >> So the question here is come November, will those Haley Stevens voters really. vote for the guy who's the socialist. dreamboat of diversity? Are they really going to buy his attempt. to pivot and his silly gym rat flex and.

his tight-fitting black tea? >> I mean, it's so. >> Shouldn't start doing ASMR, Jen? Like, what? >> This is all they have. This is all they. have on him. He looks good in a gym rat. t-shirt and this is a time for Democrats. to really, really pounce on these. pathological, pro-death cult MAGA. Republicans. >> Yeah, it absolutely is. And what we need. to do is show people. >> [sighs]. >> that there is one party that is.

literally in bed with the people that. are in the Epstein files. That That's. remember, Trump ran on the idea that he. was going to release the Epstein files. and then he did, but massively redacted. them because he's in them thousands of. times. And literally zero people, by. Donald Trump's account, zero people in. the Epstein files, despite being an. entire Republican-controlled government, have been held accountable in any way, shape or form. Then you add on to that. the fact that Donald Trump is one of the. worst presidents that we have had in.

modern American history in terms of the. blatant insider trading that he's done, where he's made a billion dollars in the. past year, Jen. Over a billion dollars. from his insider trading and Trump Coin. and World Liberty Financial and all of. that. And you combine that with the fact. that the cost of living is getting so. bad that you have conservative. influencers that sound like they have. hired Democratic messaging consultants. from 2024 saying eat ramen, the economy. isn't that bad, just shut up and work. harder. And we are in for a massive wave.

this year, but this time we need we. really need to make it count. And what. I'm excited about. is that we were never going to get to. this place, despite what the establishment thought, despite what the centrist thought, without having a really vicious primary. season to credibly show people, especially younger people, but people of. all ages, that our party has actually. changed since 2024. And while there are. Democrats that we all, at least the with. your listeners, don't like, there is a segment of. Democrats that we do believe in that are.

not being bought and paid for and. getting tens of millions of dollars from. AIPAC as they give Republicans tens of. millions of dollars as well, that are. not taking massive checks from the. corporations that are making all of our. lives harder. And what excites me about. this is this gives us the opportunity to. win back young voters and show them. Democrats really are the party fighting. for you, not for AIPAC, not for these. corporations. And we've had that fight. internally, the rebellion has succeeded, and we are now going to hold Donald.

Trump accountable and all of the people. that are around him that have made our. lives so much worse to begin with, terrorized our communities, and are. bringing our country down an incredibly. dark path. It gives us the opportunity. of the opportunity to credibly say, "He. is corrupt. He is not focused on your. cost of living. He is more focused on. helping the guys that are building data. centers in your backyard and not giving. a damn what you think about it or what. your city council thinks about it or any. of your elected officials think about. it. And we're for you and standing up.

against that." And that's what really. excites me about this time is I'm. starting to have a real sense of hope. Jen, I don't know about you, but it's a. weird feeling. I you get so used to just. going and going and going over and over. and over again, you can start to lose. hope. But you keep going, but I'm. starting to get that strange feeling. again that maybe we can succeed, maybe. we can bring our party to a better. place, but it's not going to be easy, obviously. But with Abdul's win, with. the defeat of Shrita Nandor as well, with the first incumbent challenger, you'll remember, Jen, the whole reason. why I got I got I had to get kicked out.

of the DNC was because I said we need to. challenge the sleep at the wheel. Democrats. We just had our first incumbent. challenger that we announced our. challenge of lose his re-election. campaign and our incoming challenger. won, that being Donovan McKinney out in. Detroit. And notice how there's no. dialogue there where it's oh, it's just. a bunch of DSA, you know, white. gentrifiers that are causing that. You. know, that's it's ridiculous that we're. in this position and these moderates, their response to it isn't to say, "Hmm, let's change how we're actually.

appealing to voters and I don't know, run anybody even remotely charismatic or. that sounds like they believe in what. they're saying at all." It's to say, "Let's continue to run the least. charismatic, least compelling candidates. in the world and throw $15 million. behind it just to tell voters over and. over again what we aren't instead of who. we are as a party.". >> I completely agree with you and I just. think that we have to do a lot of work. in messaging that if any candidate, Republican or Democrat, is taking money. from the same people that are funding.

fascism right now, that they are. prostitutes. And it doesn't matter if. they have an R or a D next to their. name. Even more so if they have a D, I'm. going to be harder on them cuz I have. higher standards and higher expectations. of them and I think the lie is more. diabolical. Republicans lie with. impunity. They've been doing it for. decades. My entire life. They. trickle-down economics lie, patriots. lie, care about the troops, big dog. lie. And so Trump and the Republicans.

are starting to take note that there is. an actual opposition party rising. They. know they can beat moderate Democrats. Trump did it twice. He knows he can do. it. And so here is Trump in a post. warning about Abdul El-Sayed popped us. up. He says, "For our great Republican. senators, friends of mine all, please be. advised communist Democrat Senate. candidate from Michigan, Abdul Raheem. Muhammad El-Sayed, that's all he has to. do, is touting as perhaps his single.

most important point the termination of. the filibuster. I watched yesterday and. he's gone termination crazy. If he. succeeds the Democrats will gain four. senators. Yes, I want it. Eight. congressmen. Yes. Many electoral and. popular votes. A stacked Supreme Court. with 23 justices and I will be gladly. Despite the great job we are doing the. last Republican president President. Donald J. Trump and that is just music.

to my ears. >> Sounds great to me. >> I didn't have Trump being a fortune. teller on my bingo card, did you David? >> No. No, but you know, I guess a broken a. broken clock is right twice a day. But what I what I will say Jen too is. that what's crazy to me is you remember. all the flack that we got for announcing. that we were going to spend millions of. dollars to challenge some of these. asleep at the wheel Democrats and how. centers like James Carville and others. were losing their mind over it. And yet. those centrists now that AIPAC went out.

there and spent 30 million dollars. trying to get Haley Stevens elected and. now is spending just as much if not more. to try to support the Republican in that. race, Mike Rogers. Those centers have nothing to say. They. have nothing to say about the fact that. one of the largest if not the largest. spender in Democratic primaries also. goes on and spends tens of millions of. dollars on Republicans. Say what you. will about progressive challenges it. within our safe primaries and safe. Democratic seats. At least I'm not going.

to go on and spend tens of millions of. dollars supporting a Republican because. here's the deal Jen. If you take issue. with progressives spending money in. primaries to get Democrats elected who I. don't know vote to sink ice for. example. If you take issue with that but. you don't take issue with AIPAC spending. tens of millions of dollars in primaries. and then spending just as much if not. more on Republicans you don't actually. want Democrats to win. You want AIPAC to. win. >> Yeah. You're exactly right. All right, and you.

alluded to this earlier, but moderate. Democrats are spending against. progressives right now. Pop this up. Moderate Democrats prepare for war. against an ascendant left. We are. preparing for the next war that is. coming, said Jonathan Cowan, president. of Third Way, revealing a new $15. million effort through 2028 to discredit. Democratic socialism. Their fear, El. Sayed paving a path for a progressive to. seize the party's 2028 presidential.

nomination and then lose the general. election. It is deeply troubling to see. radical far left candidates winning in. places that are potentially presidential. swing states. What I think is radical. is. the fact that they're going to spend. money against what the base is. continuing to show what they want. What. I think is radical is that they would. support and take money from the same. super super PACs that are funding.

fascism right now. And I also think it's. radical to treat the Democratic base in. such a patronizing way as though we are. idiots. MAGA base, the cultists, they. get their marching orders from the. right-wing ecosystem, from Trump, and. they just go along with it. They And. we've seen all the coordinated tweets. On our side, we're a little bit more. critical thinking. And we see um. Chuck Schumer, for example, say that his. main job is uh Senate majority, is to.

make sure Israel has every cent that it. needs. The average American living in the. United States is like, "What are you. talking about? What about our health care? What about. uh gun violence? What about uh the fact. that we don't have enough air traffic. controllers?" Just basic things. And so, what is your take on this Third Way. situation? Um and how. diabolical that is. What I just read to. you is really, really, really sinister.

>> It's It is sinister, Jen, but the irony. of this is two, it's not going to solve. their problem. Their problem is not that. moderate's problem as we just saw in. Michigan has never been that they don't. have enough money. That's not why. they're losing. It's because people. don't like what they are selling. They. don't like their candidates and they. don't like people who don't sound like. what they believe in, like Jen. I Like, can you believe how how many of. these moderates just genuinely do not. sound like It sounded to me like for. Haley Stevens, for example, that she was. more passionate about Israel coming to.

her in her dreams than she was at any. point during that primary for anything. related to the United States. It's crazy. So, if they actually want to. start succeeding, here's an idea. Maybe. develop an actual philosophy that isn't. just saying, "Well, we're going to. triangulate to be whatever the. ideological center is." Because that's. always changing. That's why they don't. sound like what they act They don't. sound like they actually believe what. they're saying because they don't. They. just believe in whatever the middle is. and that's always changing. And if I was.

them, I would figure out, how do I. actually run more compelling candidates. that actually sound like they're they. they believe in what they're saying at. all in the first place. But I think this. is just a massive waste of money to go. against what the base of the Democratic. Party is saying that they want, what the. core of who our supporters are are. saying what they want, of going out. there and having active primaries. And. if you want to win, run better. candidates. Actually try to appeal. Tell. us why you think that giving. billionaires more tax cuts and. deregulating Wall Street, which is what.

they want to do because that is who is. funding them, is the thing that's going. to appeal to the American people. I'll. tell you what, it's not. It's not going. to appeal to them. What they want is. real accountability, affordability, and. to make sure that there's a real. opposition party to fight back against. Donald Trump because let's not forget. the reason why Kamala Harris lost last. election is not because she was super. progressive at all. She was going on TV. bragging about how she owns a Glock. Like that's not She was not It's not. because she was some far left person.

that that we lost. And the idea that. what we need to do is just run further. to the right of that is crazy. And. that's what I'm really excited about. though. is the work that we're doing at Leaders. We Deserve, not just in congressional. elections, but the majority of our work, which is actually in state legislative. elections. Because we're not just laying. Right now, the progressive movement is. more coordinated than it ever has been. And we're working at all levels of. government. As we saw with Zordon in New. York City local government, as we're. seeing with state legislators like Ruwa.

Roman in Georgia, and we're seeing with. different congressional leaders. And. what I'm really excited about is we are. helping to lay the groundwork for a real. generational revolution in the. Democratic Party at starting at the. state legislative level and helping to. build the bench so that they can then. run up the ballot and replace a lot of. these leaders that because our party's. gotten so old are going to retire or. frankly pass away while in office in the. next couple of years. And we are laying. the groundwork for that right now at. Leaders We Deserve. And I'm proud to say. none of that is from corporate PAC. money. It all It all comes from.

individuals like some of your viewers. who donate to support our work with five. or 10 bucks. And it gives us the. independence that when we do go out. there and write a check for $300,000 to. support Zordon as his largest. organizational supporter, I can't get a. call from some major donor that's like, "I'm not going to give you money. anymore." and then say, "Well, we can. only support centrist young people that. are basically the same thing as the. failed politicians that we have in power. right now. And that's why I'm about. Right now, I'm in Memphis because I was. just at Justin J. Pearson's uh election. night party for his primary. I'm going.

right now uh. in a couple of hours up to Minneapolis. where your audience and people. Progressives need to know. Matt Little is a name that they need to. be much more familiar with. He is a. progressive state legislator and former. city council member who's running for. Angie Craig's seat to replace her. He is. the progressive and an APAC affiliate. group just dropped about $2 million. against Matt Little. I'm going up there. to do everything I can to get him. elected and if your viewers want to. support him or they want to support our.

work at Leaders We Deserve, they can do. so at leaderswedeserve.com. They can. find donate donation links for our. website and all of our candidates there. Um and then the last thing I'll say is. people need to pay attention to what's. going on against Stephen Lynch. He is one of the most conservative. Democrats in Congress. He's in. Massachusetts and he is the last. Democrat that has voted against the. Affordable Care Act. He is in a safe. Democratic seat that all where he. despite that voted for the Lincoln Riley. Act and voted to thank ICE. And he's. being challenged by a progressive voting.

rights attorney Patrick wrote that we're. backing up there and not many of any not. many people are paying attention to that. race, but we got to win that one and. we're doing the work at Leaders We. Deserve, but what I need people's help. with is obviously supporting us. If. people can, uh we need your help to do. recruitment for next cycle and get ready. for that cuz donations go down after the. election and to finish off this election. cycle. So if people want to donate, they. can go to leaderswedeserve.com. >> And I just want to talk uh. in closing here. I want to talk about. Democratic messaging moving forward. There is this um.

the James Carville wing of the. Democratic Party and you hear people. like Bill Maher and all of this. bed-wetting that we don't want these. people in the party and if they come in. the party, we're leaving. I would argue. that they are all capitulating to. right-wing framing across the board that. we need to message that what the. progressive left, whether they're DSA or. like Abdullah Sayid who is just a. non-prostitute, complete progressive that believes in.

universal human rights, is not. DSA-affiliated, but a progressive. >> [gasps]. >> They are taking the Democratic Party. back to its most successful era, which. is the era of FDR, which is the era that. we had a president that delivered for. the people and not for corporations. >> to invent term limits for him. >> They had to invent term limits and the. Republicans have been spiraling for. decades ever since then and that's why. they're so organized right now and their. propaganda has been so successful. because FDR was so successful. And so as.

we head into these midterms and then the. general and then after that is your. positioning progressive. I worry a. little bit about the Democratic. messaging that this interest because. they go on corporate news all the time. tend to capture that somehow we are the. outsiders in the party and I think we. have to keep establishing they are the. outsiders. They are the ones that are. fascist collaborating right now, not us. We want a social safety net and FDR did.

all of these social programs because he. wanted to protect capitalism. He knew if. it wasn't if it wasn't regulated that it. would end up being like this. And so can. you speak to the messaging. of the progressive sect, the progressive. wing of the Democratic Party, whether. it's DSA, whether it's you know, just. pure progressive people, whatever it is, people that want corporate money out of. politics and believe in universal human. rights and how we must recapture our.

party away from the James Carvilles who. have taken it over, away from the FDR. flank of the party. >> Yeah, I think it starts with focusing on. the most basic issues, which is. transparency in our government and. making sure that our elected officials, as you said, are not prostitutes to. these special interests. Making sure. that people know that we actually want. to deliver free and universal health. care for them because we believe that in. a in the richest country in the world, people should not be dying or having.

appendages cut off because they can't. afford their insulin, for example. Right? If you want to have what one of. the most some of the most radicalizing. conversations I've ever had are with. healthcare workers that are some of our. candidates that work in ERs, that work. in hospitals and have to deal with the. epic failures of that system. And I. think it's about making sure that we. build an economy that works just as hard. for those that power it as it does for. the Elon Musks of the world that sit by. and make billions of dollars basically. every month doing next to nothing.

compared to the workers that actually. companies. Yeah, doing ketamine. >> and sitting. >> a cave hole at Coachella or Burning Man. or take your pick, right? Instead of his. workers who are actually making that. profit in the first place. And I think. it's also about making sure that we do. hold people that are in the Epstein. files accountable in the first place and. that we're not sending our money. overseas to a country like Israel that. in many senses I would argue has a. higher standard of living than we do. And yet somehow we're left footing the.

bill for their war in Iran, for their. war like just over and over and over. again and making sure that our interests. are are prioritized here and people are. able to get the healthcare they need, the education they need and that we. reestablish the the possibility. And not. just again, I would say, but the a real. American dream for the first time for. all people, not just straight white. guys, but everybody to actually achieve. that and have the opportunity to do that. where they can go to college and. graduate without a lifetime of debt.

Where they know if they do get sick, it's not going to mean that their family. is going to go bankrupt trying to treat. them. I'll never forget. and this is personal for me, right? It's. personal for all Americans. I will never. forget when my father was on his. deathbed. as a veteran, diagnosed with early onset. Parkinson's disease, getting still. getting denied benefits from the VA. I will never forget the the pain of my. parents having to tell my sister and I. that we had to leave California because.

of because of our failure frankly as a. party to build enough affordable housing. that when my dad got diagnosed with an. with a. terminal illness that my family knew we. were going to have to medically he was. going to have to medically retire and we. would have to move to another state cuz. we couldn't afford to live in California. anymore, only to end up in Florida. where my sister and I went through a. school shooting because of the failures. of Republican leadership to address gun. violence and create stronger gun laws. where if somebody threatened to shoot up. a high school, they could be disarmed. because they believe that somebody's.

right to an AR-15 was worth more than. the right of my classmates to survive. math class. Right? That is the type of country that. we need to build where stories like that. are not like I wish that I was the. exception. Unfortunately, there are. millions of people that have similar. horrible stories to that where the. people that are at the core of serving. our country the most continue to be let. down because the system is not working. for them and regardless of whether or. not they have served our country, that. shouldn't matter. If they're an. American, our country should be serving.

them just as well as it's serving the. ultra-wealthy and ensuring that all of. their most basic needs are met in the. country with most wealth in human. history. >> All right, final story here. Kylie. popped this up, the DNC autopsy one. Uh. the author of the infamous DNC autopsy. says he one did think Gaza cost Harris. voters, two did convey convey this to a. pro-Palestine group, three did write. this conclusion up last year, four did. not bother to include it in the. unfinished draft sent to the DNC. I.

think we've all known this, but in. in tying this to the last question, we. have to be the anti-war. party. These wars that we get involved. in the United States of America. are. horrible for our country and for its. citizens and for all of the lives abroad. because like you, David, I value an. American life as much as I do a. Palestinian life. I don't I don't have a.

rating system as to how I'm able to rate. lives. I'm just not built like that. I. don't have that Republican gene in me. And so, we've kind of known this, but as. we head into. the midterms and then forward-looking to. 2028, how important is it going to be that our. nominee. look in the camera and not lie. about Israel and not have a butt or a. caveat that they look in the camera and. tell the truth about what this country.

is doing and our toxic relationship with. them across both party lines. >> It's essential. It is absolutely essential because it's. not. This is an issue that is so emblematic. of broader issues at hand and I think. that's part It's not only because of the. atrocities that are happening there, it's because it's so representative of. the misprioritization of of priorities. that our leaders have in this country. where they are more obsessed with. falling over themselves to talk about. how much they want to give more money to.

Israel constantly, where they are. literally saying like America could. basically end tomorrow and our most. important thing is that we keep giving. money to Israel. It's crazy. >> It's nuts. >> As people struggle to get by, we need an. executive that says that in our foreign. policy, we are not going to have a. policy as the United States of America. of slapping the hand of war criminals. and saying don't do that as we continue. to arm them. It is such that we. act like we are helpless in this.

position, that we cannot do anything. about the behavior of the Israeli. government as they continue to expand. their settlements, as they continue to. empower and implement the policies of. people like Ben-Gvir and Benjamin. Netanyahu, and over and over and over. again continue to give them more arms, continue to give them more money, and. say, "You know what? We're just going to. write our strongly Our party cannot. treat the government of Israel that is. committing these atrocities the way that. we are treating Republicans with.

strongly worded letters, especially when we are arming them.". You know, I I think there's a lot of. people that look at this issue. and say, "You know, this is so. complicated. This is so intractable. This has gone on for thousands of. years." A, that is not the case. A long longer not too long ago. everybody there were people that were. living in peace, famously, in Palestine. together, groups of all religions. And. what happened was British imperialism. But going beyond that, even if you don't.

have to be an expert. on the history of the Middle East or the. history of Palestine to know right from. wrong, and to know that the solution that is. going to help to solve this conflict. once and for all. is not going to come from continuing to. arm the same country that has been. bombing the other over and over and over. again for the past 30 years and. expecting a different result, where kids. are getting killed. It is creating. generational trauma, and it is going to.

result in the further extension of this. conflict. The only group of people, by. the way, who benefit from this are the. American arms manufacturers and Israeli. arms manufacturers and the far right in. that country that con- consistently, over and over and over again, is needing to create these crises to. keep themselves in power. Where they know if they continue these. forever wars, stop me if this sounds. familiar, Jen. They know if they continue these forever. wars that they can continue to terrify.

their public and consolidate their power. and ensure that they keep themselves in. power even as their country continues to. fall apart. And that the idea that we're. going to have. a presidential candidate that is able to. go out there and once again tell people. not to believe their eyeballs and what. they've been seeing at that point what. will have been for the past 5 years or. more on their phone. is insane and it's not going to work. because the the Democratic strategy of. trying to gaslight voters into not.

believing what they're seeing with their. eyeballs or feeling with their wallets. is not one that is going to win the. presidential primary in case it wasn't. clear enough in the general election of. 2024. >> David Hogg, it's always good to see you. and each time we meet we have more. victories behind us. So I hope the next. time you're on there are even more. progressive victories. Thank you for. everything you do and my viewers, please. go to leaders we deserve.com and send. them a grassroots donation because we. still have the power and he is picking.

winners. David, thank you so much. >> Thanks so much, Jen. >> [music].
