Next time you guys just have a chat with AOC you should ask her to her face why she is not stopping herself from becoming the millennial Nancy Pelosi
Great ep, guys! Also phenomenal outro song choice, one of my favorites.
Will saying "not to be nihilistic about it" made me lol. Baby, you've been black pilled for awhile. And while I do agree that El-Sayed distancing himself from Hasan is not good, I don't think that's the same as Mamdani and AOC saying they will back Jefferies. I firmly believe both of them hate Jefferies and are playing the long game strategy and there's probably more going on behind the scenes than we know. And while it would be very gratifying to hear them both rip Jeffries a new ahole publicly, they are actually in politics and need to be strategic if they hope to oust him. Every time I start feeling a bit of hope, I listen to Chapo and most of that feeling goes away 😩😭

1. That was Rube Waddell who chased firetrucks, not Dazzy Vance. 2. The fan whom Ty Cobb punched was asking for it.
I came over here from QAA who also have a great episode explaining this with Mark Sommer. I study and teach history, my partner is American but throughout my life I’ve always kept tabs on America because your country has such a profound influence on global politics. The banality of the incompetence of the Trump administration I find to be the most concerning thing. It feels as though these instances just normalise the rest of the abhorrent side show. I mean if this was Nixon or Reagan or the Bushs’ any one of these almost weekly/daily outbursts or revelations would be front page news. These days it’s just part of the rolling tide of turds launched at us daily while migrant workers are hunted on the streets and Marines and Sailors and Airmen eat literal slop because they’re stuck on an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf and the secretary of war doesn’t know how the massive American logistics system works. I mean I’m not surprised Trump is vision boarding the destruction of Kharg Island and starving Cuba because it is much easier than planning even the dumbest invasion of these countries. No wonder Dick Cheney hated the guy, he doesn’t have the attention span to commit war crimes at scale. Also the NFL-Vice bust is very funny from Scottish/Glaswegian perspective because that guy is also an investor in Glasgow Rangers Football Club. So it was reported on the Scottish News as well.
Al-Sayed didn't apologise for campaigning with Hasan; he apologised for his "hurt people hurt people" comments after the Michigan synagogue attack. Still not a necessary apology, but vastly different to what you're describing in this episode. Maybe in future you boys might want to show some professional pride and get such load-bearing facts correct before starting on a screed about a candidate's 'questionable judgement'. You claim to admire Hasan's work ethic, Felix, and I can tell you this - he would have made the effort to get the details right
Look, we need to win Michigan. Neither Hillary Clinton nor Kamala Harris spent time during their campaigns denouncing Hasan Piker, and what happened after that? That's right, they both lost Michigan. Can't argue with that logic!
💯, and Al Gore wouldn't have needed Florida if he had condemned the 9/11 terrorists harder
Gentleman and Lady, where the picture on this episode from need its history
Can’t wait until the boys learn about boobie feaster
I was laid off by DOGE. I saw a lot of these guys up close. Let’s just say, we got rolly backpacks and not a lot of eye contact going on.
Just imagine if back in the day, Republicans treated Joe Rogan like the the Dems are treating Hassan? I'm not sure if they could flatter Hassan into being their useful idiot puppet the way Trump did with Joe but it was worth trying. Instead they demanded instant conformity and demonized him for not toeing the party line. It's hilarious how incompetent the Democrats and their aligned media are. Their group think has them so stupid that they can't even try to copy a winning strategy
Man, all that talk about the Niners and nothing about Brandon Aiyuk’s stunning departure
SexWorkersNearMe.police is an all-timer.
Love the Chapo x 49ers crossover episode!! My two teams 😂 love the sports talk
make Roth the permanent 3rd mic, I hear he has an opening
Roth not beating the goat allegations 🐐🐐🐐
Dan Pasqua mentioned

Please just give this man a permanent spot already
I know there’s a small chance of someone seeing this, but what is the song at the end?
Strawberry Switchblade - since yesterday
Thenk you David J Roth for my life
Roth/Defector/Chapo…you absolutely love to see it.
Al Sayed is already cooked the moment he calls Cuba a dictatorship or Maduro a dictator, let alone walking back to a more moderate take on Israel.
Felix says alien 54:24 minutes in
Who dafck is chris labell?
@52m not a fan of this Rube Waddell erasure. I choose to still believe in a pitcher entering the game via the stands, stealing food and booze and fighting fans along the way, before stripping nude to put on his uniform then telling the outfielders to go home
"It's funny when the fascists turn their guns on one another"/ "it's unfair that hassan is a boogeyman to the liberal he carries water for"
You are so tough and clear headed it makes the rest of us piss
Funniest episode in a while
America is the number 1 goy slave! How come this gets me banned from some left wing streams? Shits gay bro
We aren't allow to say the g word evidently, it's their word for us
They need to bring back the Bible stories guy that was the best episode in a while
And obviously bring David Roth on way more often
Pete Hegseth is on twitter calling canadians fat which is the most insane shit I ever seen ... if only there was one country on earth known for having a lot of fat people in it
Woah uh... I thought we were all on the page of Bush(Poppy) did 911???
That's the real galaxy brain conspiracy. Bush did 9/11 but it was Bush Sr.
“If you’re a progressive, the road for your movement inside the Democratic Party leads to a graveyard”. -Kshama Sawant
As true as that statement might be, you could say the exact same about whatever it is Kshama Sawant is doing right now.
DataRepublican seems to fit with the phrase "Elon Musk is an idiot's vision of a smart person". She also reminds me of those two guys who worked for the DOGE and used ChatGPT to cut humanities funding because of DEI...which included denying funding to change HVAC in a museum or to scan old newspapers that were published in German language.
Did Felix even read/listen to Abdul's statement or did he just read a (wrong) summary of it? Abdul just did an interview where he said that noone should be defined by out of context things that you said a long time ago and that there's a lot of good in what Hasan is saying. I feel like dude's holding the line pretty well and is not grovelling like Felix and David seem to believe he is.
I rarely disagree with Felix but some of his election takes have been really bad this cycle.
Felix giving toothier bjs to hasan than laura to donald
Yes indeed
getting déjà vu on felix’s story at the ford house— didn’t he tell that story like two weeks ago?
yeah and you know what? I sympathize big time with his dad, I also has this urge to go look out stuff *because* it's Historically A Bad Place lol
Why are they talking about el sayed like this. Hes done none of what they are saying. He's not apologized for hasan or his stance on israel. He's actually recently been defending hasan.
The talk towards the end was brilliant, but yeah, as Will said. Hard not to get nihilistic about it in the end.
Strawberry Switchblade!
Did not know coastal elites were aware of Provo
Zohran is clearly trying to run for president under his wife’s name in 10 years and is making sure to signal to donors he is reasonable at the end of the day. I don’t blame him for endorsing Jefferies ultimately he is very cunning and needed one small move to signal he’ll play ball when the time comes.
Anybody know what the song at the end was sounded nice
Felix is so right about how you could do anything in a small town in the 17-1800. I once read that during the napoleonic wars a French ship sunk off the coast of England and the only survivor was a monkey dressed in a French officers uniform. The hayseed townsfolk tried to interrogate the monkey and when he didnt answer their questions, they hung him for being a spy.
I’ve taken queludes every time Felix has told the Mississippi Burning road trip story and now I pronounce words like annathemma and schizophrannick.
psychopatic with the emphasis on the O is another alltime felixism
Ngl dunking on someone by saying you’re going to interact with your wife is kinda cool
We love David also bring back Alex Nichols
Alex Nichols could replace felix and dave can be third mic
What was that catchy synth track at the end?
The bats pop more when Roth is in the lineup
More Roth please
Still waiting on the boys to talk about Genocide Jon Ossoff and how shitty he is. He condemned Hasan too. Seems like they haven’t mentioned him at all since he’s really become the Great White Hope
My son is also named Dort!
DSA and anti zionist organizations need to select more Black candidates that will staunchly hold to the party values. It's clear by now that there is a lot being left on the table with older Black voters. So if electoralism will be a field of contest you have to use all the weapons you have to win there. No one thing is a guarantee, but many small things in conjunction help.

The war of the unemployable against the employed will continue primarily because the employed cannot take time off of work to fight back. This is no joke. Only the unemployable have time to swarm DC like they did back on January 6th.
‘To Catch A Scavenger’ and it’s narrated by RFK Jr. and he’s clearing his throat and giddily gurgling in excitement while also eating some salmonella tainted cold cuts breaking down trail cam footage of fish and game workers removing scavengers from residential areas etc.
I think Al-Sayed wins for the same reason Mamdani did. He’s focusing on how everything’s too expensive. The focus on Israel and “antisemitism” didn’t move voters in NYC and I doubt will move them in Michigan. Supporting Israel on the other hand drives away voters in droves, see Harris 2024.
I think it's a toss up that will go one way or the other for reasons that have nothing to do with any of this noise
I love you but you're wildly exaggerating El-Sayed's capitulation. He didn't denounce Hasan, he didn't ask for mercy for anything to do with Hasan, he issued a broad statement against threats and he went to a MI Jewish community to apologize for his own (questionable, but whatever) insensitivity after a synagogue attack. He frames this as a plea for solidarity between people of minority faiths such as himself. He just went on the Breakfast Club and defended Hasan. And he said, to answer a Michigan Jewish voter's question, that he wouldn't fund the Iron Dome even to "protect" her kids on vacation, he isn't backing down from that. NOBODY in Michigan wants him to say "There might be something wrong with Jewish people." I hate to be like this, but you really are in a crazy bubble if you think that sounds like a better idea. He is the closest thing we've had to a Democrat fighting bad faith exactly the way you're asking for. That hasn't really changed, so please wait until he loses or really does betray the cause to get so nihilistic. This is a possible hinge point. It's not over. Which side are you on?
Don’t worry the rich Brooklyn podcasters who put out mid vaguely left content are just defending another rich podcaster/streamer whose building a cult of personality from disaffected mostly white college grads who have 20k+ student debt and have to work in warehouses and are mad about it. I’m not even some Abdul lover. He’s probably the best of the best as far as electoralism but people need to think about where this type of criticism is coming from, from people who get to put out six hour long shows on fucking video gaming. It’s pathetic.
“Cynical Publius” is almost certainly a reference to Alexander Hamilton, which makes it even worse
Data Republican is 43 years old.
I love Hasan! Surely electoralism will save us!
Haha Homie thought that “..bc we’re both circumcised” line was gonna hit a lot harder
Please provide equal time on your show to one Sammy J Hagar thank u
Chapo has a lot of great return guests, but if I'm being totally honest, Roth is my #1.
i think it sounds crazy to say people should just run as a democrat who hates the party against the entire institution, rather than just starting a new electoral party. I think americans see the american greens and think that every third party would get them that exact same result
Canada is a great story of Third Party ism, there was this thing called the NDP at some point that genuinely seemed like it would challenge the Liberals and become a true left alternative and today after 15 years of tacking to the center and trying to become mainstream it's back to being a nonfactor
Neera Tanden is the liberal Ann Coulter. There’s really something wrong with her.
The Chapo episodes are getting longer. Glad!
The Projet de Île de Montréal would be a good bit.
what do you mean a good bit I did door to door turnout with them last year
S/o will for playing Strawberry Switchblade on the outro
When Roth goes into a sports analogy it’s like watching LeBron dribbling into a LeFuckYou three—it shouldn’t work but every time it does.
After the thing with Matt (whatever happened there), and Kath going down with Berkshire vulture rabies, what I was thinking was three mics, like a tri-umber thing, like Caesar: Felix, Will, and our poker buddy David Roth. Three other podcasts have this type of arrangement.
Can they just please drop the new season of movie mindset already? I just need the movie list

Oh fr, Brumbpo is in this one
I love it when my friends and dads can all hang out
It’s so funny that every single corrupt treasonous stunt that hegseth tries to pull ends up blowing up in his face.
Imagine in about 100 years; Robert Greene's 48 laws of power; but instead of stories from antiquity, it's just the tales of the courtiers in present day Washington like how Laura Loomer was in her efforts to get Milo deported
If it's the winners who write history, I guess all stories of cunning (and heroism) will be reduced to just being "based".
Alan Ritchson is doing an Angel Studios movie; I wouldn’t say he’s that aware or bothered by right wingers in his industry
They keep trying to make her disassociate by sending her mail addressed only to “Occupant”. Making her feel she is a non-person.
It’s amazing how many insane people you never have to see if you don’t use twitter
Love when the "darkwoke" "moderate" democrats are working with trump to punish Canada for not letting trump have literally everything
I feel like no one really remembers that Bernie has always been against free trade in general and NAFTA in particular
George R. R. Martin is 77 years old. A Dance with Dragons was published in 2011. You are not getting a sixth book. The HBO ending is *the ending.*
💯, fuck George and fuck the Jets
thank you for talking about hasan I feel like i'm going insane
Are we all learning something about the value of walking back statements and public apologies in a public political framework? It's like pre-ordering games at this point.
I miss Joe Quigley did they block me? Tell them "Bob Saget definitely did NOT rape and murder a woman in 1990" pleases and thank yous!
Westerners fighting against Russia and Iran have been consistent on two things: pretending the PR war can win the real war, and doing war crimes against civilians
Just waiting for the Netanyahu as Magneto memes

This is the Gemini Killer administration, top to bottom.
Every story I hear about Felix's dad explains so much
I love you guys and love the show. Always have. Matt is greatly missed. I would love to hear his thoughts on the current world situation. Literally listening back to the first cushvlog and he just sees everything so clearly. I hope he and his family are doing well.
BullOfDataRepublican, and yes she’s capable of consent!!!
DAVID J ROTH PERMANENT THIRD MIC NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You’re hearing it more and more
Diamond Dave, he’s your ice cream man stop him when he’s passing by
I know it sucks keeping ~10 people on the payroll but can we please get Roth as a permanent third mic? He’s consistently the best guest & brings out the best in Will & Felix.
The NFL had a half day 😂 This guy is straight up Buster going to Army, but real.
A nearly two hour ep w David Roth? Yes, please!
Dude I fucking love David J Roth
“To embarrass a scavenger” 😂
Genuine lol, Roth is the king
so when is the third viable party gonna drop? when its already far too late? fuck it lets just bring back the whig party
Seeing my podcast idols age and repeat the same story on air for thr 14th time makes me feel old as well 👨🦳
Nothing, not even the fact that I've brought it up in every third podcast appearance I've made, will make me stop talking about Dan Pasqua. You'll have to kill me.
Petition to make Roth permanent 3rd mic
Im hearing reports that the secret service will be operating a short bus

The whole Piker saga is a great illustration of the way that political propaganda and character assassination works in the U.S. You can see these attacks are taking on a toll on him, which is part of the entire purpose of these attacks. Very sleazy stuff. Some of it definitely looks like it crosses a line into defamation as well. However, the fundamental issue is the absolutely insane shit that the state of Israel does on a daily basis. If supporters of Israel don't get a handle on that problem -- and I am doubtful they will be able to, because it is a "lunatic society" -- they are just dealing with symptoms by policing the narrative in the U.S. As far as El-Sayed goes, out of all of the Obama-imitators he is the one who goes hardest. Piker is his "reverend Wright". His rhetorical style is the closest in spirit and vibes. I think he is genuinely sincere about some issues -- single-payer, military funding for Israel -- but he reminds me a lot of Obama in the worst ways. e.g.. one big early test of Obama from a policy perspective was telecom immunity, related to mass surveillance post 9/11. Obama had campaigned for reversal of Bush era excesses, he won the party nomination, but in the summer of 2008 at a point where he was positioned to win the general election, he still opted to give telecom companies legal liability on an issue of concern to the left. If you're in Michigan you still gotta vote El-Sayed, but do it with your eyes open. The problems are structural, not strictly about individuals. The kind of politicians who are able to resist the pressure and stay true, are incredibly rare ones, and they are going to tend to be people who come out of political movements and have demonstrated a willingness in previous elected offices to resist pressure.
Kshama Sawant fits your description to a tee. 🎯
They're Corbyning the fuck out of Hasan when all he wants to do is sheepdog for the Dem party. And to think he spent so much time centering antisemitism this past few years, you'd think he'd be their ideal model. But nope. It's hard to feel sympathetic. All this energy and talent from the the American left being dumped into the project of pushing a party that exists specifically to prevent the left from gaining power. Diluting the messaging, demurring from concrete goals, tolerating or even embracing candidates like Platner and Lander. Doesn't seem good!
Dems are probably heading towards internal collapse. GOOD !!!
Yelled “Roth!” so loudly that neighborhood cats started yowling
Reminder that Hasan just did an interview with the modern day der sturmer and condemned October 7th. He’s a Zionist.
He’s very bad at being one, if so.
Saw David Roth on Chapo and immediately pulled the loaded gun out of my mouth
‘Hand-selected data person’ is going to be bouncing around in my head for months
DataRepublican is my favourite alternate Star Trek character
Reminds me of those chuds who enjoy Star Trek, up until people online clue them into the obvious liberal-left utopian themes, at which point they desperately cast it as somehow right-leaning or apolitical.
Roth 🐐

I like how the new great lakes mnemonic changes from HOMES to SHAME
Too on the nose
if there's roth there's magic. on GOD
💞
good on David for doubling down on how to pronounce Schlichter
Oh hell bless!
Oh yeahhh time to get nude and get in the bath, put a moist towel over my eyes and let the faces of all of these chuds form in my minds eye 👁️
I'm replying to this comment because it's the #1 most liked & at the top of the comment section to defend Abdul Thought. He has not capitulated the way they are saying. Maybe he will, but he's doing a pretty good job and reports of him capitulating have been greatly exaggerated. Hold the line please & stay on Earth. We don't want him to change tactics to say "maybe Jews are bad by-your-logic," that is fucking crazy.
