Welcome everybody, Crystal Kylan and friends.

0:09.2

Today we're going to be talking to Cameron Kasky, who's running for Congress in New York's

0:14.1

12th district.

0:15.3

It's currently Jerry Nadler's district.

0:17.0

He's retiring.

0:18.7

There's roughly 412 people running for this seat.

0:21.7

But this is the only one you really need to know about. True. I mean, they got JFK's grandson is running, right? Schlaasberg or whatever his name is. And like something about the way he rolled out his campaign just really irked the shit out of me. Yeah. And there's another guy I don't remember his name who's sort of like, I think you might have been like an aid to Jerry Nadler.

0:37.6

He's kind of like getting the imprimatur from Nadler.

0:41.4

I don't know if he's directly endorsed him, but that's sort of the guy. Maybe he's a stay rep. I don't remember the details. We can ask him about all that. the Schlossberg guy was being interviewed by somebody who was given like a softball interview and they were like,

0:52.4

you are on X number of

0:54.9

platforms and you have a million subscribers and followers and he goes actually it's two million

1:01.5

I was like fuck this guy bro who are you fuck off yeah I hate the dynasty you know I hate the dynasty shit

1:07.5

yeah he didn't in my opinion doesn't have the swag to pull off that kind of a vibe.

1:11.9

But I do see a lot of thirst trapping about him. Do you? I mean, just like, it's so crazy. Basic-ass white boys get like people fucking falling all over themselves for them. It's so bizarre. Yeah. It's like that's the most basic white boy I've ever seen. Yeah. Well, I think the fact that there's so many people in the primary may end up benefiting Cameron because he's clearly carving out like the lefty position. Like, he's with us on everything. He's outspoken. He's like doing the whole social media game to an excellent degree. And so, you know, if everybody else, it's a district that it's like Upper West Side and Upper east side. So it's not the most lefty part of New York City. But if you have all of those like more centristy establishment types or splitting that part of the vote, he may be able to win with like, I don't know, 30% or something. We can ask him about a strategy. And Nadler wasn't that bad. Nadler was not a bad congressman. No, and, you know,

2:01.7

he, you know, he had his moments speaking out against Israel's genocide. I don't think, you know,

2:06.7

I mean, he wasn't like a Rashida Talib or, you know, calling it, actually calling it a genocide,

2:11.5

but he spoke out against human rights abuses and was to the left of your average Democratic elected

2:17.2

on the issue. And other than that, he's quite progressive. And so anyway, yeah, we need someone. We need to up the ante. We need someone to improve upon what he was doing there. And Cameron would do exactly that. So anyway, I'm super excited to talk to him. We've been trying to get him in here for a couple weeks now. Finally, it's all come together. Super excited. All right. So before we get into that, though, I'm losing my goddamn mind every single day. Every single day, Crystal, we stray further and further from the light of God. I mean, it's just like, how many wars can you wage? How many things can you bomb? How much like piracy can you do? So, of course, what I'm

2:52.6

referring to is you had the U.S. illegally seasoned Venezuelan oil tanker. Yeah. Getting us closer and

2:59.7

closer to just doing regime change. Obviously, we've been burglaring fishermen for quite a while now.

3:05.0

So let me show you a clip here. This is Trump talking about that.

3:08.6

Well, thank you very much. It's been an interesting day from the standpoint of news.
