Hey, everybody. It's Tim Moore from the Bullwark here with our publisher, Sarah Longwell. She's a book coming out. I don't know if you heard about that. I wanted to talk about an article that our colleague Lauren Egan wrote with, you know, behind her back a little bit. So you're just going to alert her to it if you want. It was, it's called How Big Is the Democrat's Big Ten? And it centered around this question of the streamer, Hassan Piker, who is on the far left.

Is he even a Democrat?

I think it's a question.

He's one of DSA.

He has a lot of critiques of the Democratic Party that come from the left part of the coalition.

His critiques of the party are particularly acute when it comes to Israel and their actions in Gaza and our broader military involvement around the world. And the question is there were some Democrats who are saying

that Democratic strategists and commentators were saying that the party shouldn't associate

the Piker because he has some extreme views. We can debate the extent of this,

but he said some things that are either anti-Semitic or anti-Semitic

curious or adjacent,

and the questions are whether people should deal with him.

So I think that I went long on this topic on the stream last night.

For you to be like,

now we as the centrist establishment serious types want to exile a far leftist

from here because he has some impure thoughts about Israel.

It's like, all you're doing is making it more powerful.

All you're doing is piss is making people think you're a bigger idiot to pick right now to have this fight

and it is truly it's like madness the entire country is moving the other direction we can just be

honest it's moving Hassan's direction on the question of Israel and you like, we're going to pick a fight with him on that?

Right now?

I don't get it.

We did this already five years ago where a bunch of liberals were like, you can't go on Joe Rogan.
