  Everyone Said Republicans Would LOSE The Midterms. Now They're Not Sure Anymore.

  Sep 9, 202623 min

  For years establishment Democrats kept the socialist left the way you'd keep a pet alligator — feed it, show it off, use it to scare Republicans. Then Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries and Nancy Pelosi came downstairs and found it sitting in their chair. Larry O'Connor lays out the mistake Democrats have made in these midterms: they invited Marxists into the coalition because they were good at organizing, and the organizers organized them. Bernie Sanders, AOC, the DSA and Zohran Mamdani won the primaries. Now the party has a turnout solution that has become a persuasion problem.  Nowhere is that clearer than Michigan, where Democrats nominated Abdul El-Sayed, 54% of voters say his positions are too extreme, and the state's Jewish attorney general refused to attend her own party's convention over concerns for her safety.

  CNN Watched Kmele Foster DISMANTLE Jemele Hill On Capitalism (Roasted TWICE)

  Sep 8, 202613 min

  Kmele Foster asked Jemele Hill one question about capitalism on CNN, and she had no answer for it. Jemele Hill argued on a CNN panel that capitalism is bound up with white supremacy. Kmele Foster answered with Adam Smith, private property and gains from trade, and asked her what any of it has to do with white supremacy. She never answered on the set. The next day she posted the argument on X and was met with a Community Note: enslaved labor produced roughly 10 to 13 percent of GNP around 1860, cotton 5 to 6 percent, and American economic dominance came from northern industrialization after 1865. She posted again and drew a second note. Larry O'Connor then turns to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on the collapse of socialism across the Western Hemisphere and his description of American socialists as overeducated and underachieving, and to the House resolution denouncing socialism that 192 Democrats voted against. Tim Burchett walks off the floor with the last word.

  Morning Joe SWALLOWED Hochul's INSANE Trump Defund-The-Police Lie (PROVED WRONG)

  Sep 8, 202611 min

  Kathy Hochul said on live television that she wishes ICE would disband, then blamed Donald Trump for defunding the police. At a press conference the New York governor claimed the federal government is withholding 40 percent of the state's counterterrorism money, $87 million, and translated it as Donald Trump defunding the police. Larry O'Connor walks through the vote: not one New York Democrat, not Chuck Schumer and not Hakeem Jeffries, voted to fund the Department of Homeland Security during the shutdown their own party ran at ICE and the Border Patrol. Hochul then goes further on television, calling ICE a rogue agency and saying she wishes it would disband and go back to the old Immigration and Naturalization Service. That is Abdul El-Sayed's talking point, and Larry sets it against the decades when the same coalition called the INS a secret police force, and against Hochul's own campaign stop at a New York mosque. The clip closes on the Times Square stabbing that killed one person and left another hospitalized, and the NYPD officers who ended it after a taser failed.

  Kamala Harris Cried CHEATER! Scott Jennings Made Them REGRET IT On CNN.

  Sep 2, 202612 min

  Kamala Harris told supporters the midterms are being rigged and to make the vote "too big to rig" — language that would have gotten a conservative channel demonetized two years ago. Larry O'Connor walks through what the Supreme Court actually allowed on Post Office ballot delivery, and the difference nobody on cable will explain: an absentee ballot you request because you're traveling, ill or in the military, versus states like California, Oregon and Colorado mailing live ballots to everyone on a stale voter roll. Then Scott Jennings takes apart a CNN panelist arguing that Trump is trying to stop people voting — while the host interrupts him and lets her finish. Trump's own words on turnout are in there too, and they say the opposite of what the panel claimed. Plus the California man arrested for registering and voting illegally, who was texting a federal agent about his midterm plans while he did it.

  Hasan Piker Just SPIKED Abdul El-Sayed's Campaign (Intentional SABOTAGE?!)

  Sep 1, 202619 min

  Abdul El-Sayed refused to say Hasan Piker's name at a Michigan press conference, calling him "a social media person in California" — after inviting him to campaign. Larry O'Connor breaks down El-Sayed's damage control: the "hurt people hurt people" statement after the attack on a synagogue and a Jewish summer camp in Michigan, the walk-back that never quite becomes an apology, and the shift from "we" to "I" depending on whether he's distancing himself or defending himself. A Fox News reporter presses him on whether he'll condemn Piker, notes that Jewish voters are asking the question, and El-Sayed shakes his head while his press secretary tries to take control of the room. Then Dave Weigel gets Piker on the record: El-Sayed's campaign asked him to come to Michigan, not the other way around. Larry raises the question no one has asked yet — whether any money moved between the El-Sayed campaign and Piker's podcast for the appearances, the travel, or the mentions. Plus Mike Rogers on Democrats for Rogers in Detroit, the Haley Stevens voters in play, and the new ad built entirely out of El-Sayed's own words.
