Hello and welcome to Youslediates. I'm your host Katie Halper. And I'm Matt Taibi. Welcome. Welcome. How are you Katie? I'm okay. You yeah, I've been better. Wow. Well, maybe maybe we'll have an interview with someone that'll raise your spirits. Maybe that would be that would be a really good idea. That's the best we could ever hope for somebody somebody with a little bit of joy and joy in his heart.

Some jazz, some jazz, some art, some literature, some poetry, a little less anger, a little less rancor. Yeah.

Dark times as they have been for a while now and it's a moment of extreme ugliness even by the standards of the United States.

Right. I was thinking that like this really is a time where I think we'll look back and be like wow, this was a big shift.

Yeah. Because lots of times people are like they don't realize it. They think it's like lots of times when you think something's a big deal. People are like, oh, it always seems that way. And then you look back.

But I think this is a big one. You got the pandemic. Then you have obviously the protests that are exploding all around the country, which you know are hugely significant in a number of different directions.

Strange times, dark times. Let's let's get into talking about it. What do we have for what do we have for for Democrats? So for Democrats suck. We have a lot of just general suckage.

So we have this guy, Elliott Angle who's running for Congress who sucks. He's being. He does. He just like that's it. Yeah.

He's being challenged by Jamal Bowman who is this younger progressive black school principal. And it's fascinating because Angle it turns out took all this money from these like right, right wing Republican organizations and was also her dropping some very interesting words on a hot mic.

And we'll get to how on top of this sucking there's more sucking because OG punk rocker, as you called her, I think you said there was something punk about her, but Hillary Clinton without any political pressure, right, the woman's not running for office.

She decided to contribute to the political discourse and endorsement seen by endorsing Elliott Angle over this younger progressive challenger. And we'll get into that a little bit for first to just set up the first level of sucking.

And then we'll just play video of Elliott Angle who's trying to speak at an event about the about unrest on police brutality. And it's very interesting why he's trying to speak. You'll see.

He's there with me, Alan, Alan, ask everybody.

But it didn't go down the list and it's just too many folks here.

I never, I'm very aware of it.

See it again.

I didn't have him. I'm very aware of it here.

You can stop. Don't do that. We're not going to do this. We're not going to put the side. Everybody has a plan.

You know, I'm sorry.

Why would you say that out loud?

Because he didn't realize it was out loud. I mean, he didn't realize he was mic'd or being recorded.

I know.
