After watching the full episode, I think it's really concerning that everything you guys say always leads to the natural conclusion of "it's the democrats' fault". You completely gloss over the fact that Chomsky also talked about a failure of the left and the activist movement to organize, which presumably you and Krystal are part of? And yet Kyle, all you do in your videos is cynically bitch about the democrats. You never teach your audience about organizing. You never explain to them what "putting pressure" is even supposed to mean besides complaining on Twitter. You keep them angry and pessimistic...but completely fail to empower them in any way to do anything about it.
And that's not even getting into the fact that you consistently get stories wrong and spread misinformation. Even here, you and Krystal smugly dismiss the American Rescue Plan as "$1400 breadcrumbs", completely failing to explain that the bill is actually full of other far more important and substantial provisions and that we should be putting maximum pressure to get it passed.
Also, please stop talking about Gamestop. Almost everything you've said about that is either misinformation or fake news. All of the populism in it is fake. The hedge funds and the WallStreetBets leaders made a ton of money at the expense of regular people and they were always going to. It was a disgusting cult-like pump and dump that you irresponsibly supported.
Please have a bit of introspection. You're not helping the movement.
Do you have any actual evidence that WSB leaders were collaborating with hedge funds to create the pump/dump scheme? I've suspected that to be a possibility, but I haven't seen any real evidence.
Democrat leadership cabal must make sure that the scam of the century - Russia-gate hoax -- is NOT, will NEVER be, accounted for. The lying team is back in power -- Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, Kamala (Hillary's protégé), Schiff
The entire anti-Russian narrative and “Ukraine impeachment” were deliberate fabrications. Even worse -- there must be not any requests for resolution of Biden-Hunter corruption (Ukraine, laptop, China)
The censorship of HiTech giants will only increase -- you will never hear about persecution of free speech publisher Julian Assange.
The Democratic Party is a dictatorship of billionaire donors and arm and intelligence industry interests -- nothing that benefits the public in a meaningful way is relevant to it, nor can we ever expect any honesty or transparency over vital issues.
Remember: The entire anti-Russian narrative is a deliberate fabrication.
Clapper, Brennan & Hayden trio were among former 50 Obama intelligence officials stating that Hunter-laptop is classical “Russian disinformation”.
- They were also key promoters of the three-year Russia-gate hoax.
- They were also key intelligence executives in Obama/Biden/Hillary government – the government which hunted Snowden (forcing Bolivian plane with Bolivia’s president to land to search it) and armed Al Qaeda (including “white helmets” hoax) and staged all chemical attacks in Syria to remove its government.
The Russia-gate hoax and Ukraine-impeachment “entertainment” was concocted by Obama/Hillary/Biden/Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, etc. and their intelligence and DNC executives on behalf of their Wall Street and military industry donors, i.e., the War party
The Democratic Party is a dictatorship of billionaire donors and arms and intelligence industry interests -- nothing that benefits the 99% of population is relevant to it. Once again, by far the highest need and interest of Biden government and its DNC cabal is that Russia-gate immense hoax – the scam of the century -- will NOT / will NEVER be exposed.
Hence obligations to primary propagandists for their roles, including despicable Kamala Harris (Hillary’s protégé), Neera Tanden, Melissa Hodgman (wife of the Comey’s infamous Peter Strzok), Pete Buttigieg, etc,
Russia-gate is only one part in the grand picture. Mostly mentiond by Trump-Supporters
who want to find anything to accuse the Democratic Party.
Corruption is bad and should be investigated like Russia-Gate was, but many Republicans
can´t live with the results (mostly Qanons).
This does not mean that the Democratic Party is without faults.
The Democratic Party is compromised by big money same as the Republic Party,
but the Republic Party is more so against the working class than the Democratic Party.
Both are corrupt on the most part, but only the Republic Party is straight up cruel.
They only help the rich with tax cuts, they support racism even more and tolerate
dangerous alternative-facts elements in their mids.
Trump promised to drain the swamp, to make his tax bills public, to end wars and
to give americans jobs.
In spite of those promises he gave during his election he only "changed" the swamp (bankers and family in top positions), he never showed his complete tax bill (what we have seen showed that he paid nearly nothing), he did not end wars (he juggled some soldiers in afghanistan and nearly started a war with Iran twice) and he created less jobs than Obama did (6.5mil to >8 mill, and no - the stock market is not the economy...).
Also, how on earth can the Republic Party welcome alternate-facts people in their mids who
believe Covid-19 is hoax (Trump included, L.Boebert), who say bush fires came from jewish space lasers (M.T.Green) and other crazy stuff.
The Republican Party gave money to the very rich (tax brakes and pandamic relief) and let the working class suffer during a pandamic (unbelievable long waiting lines at food stores, laughable 600$ checks).
Trump could have given the people the 2000$ he suggested at the end of his term,
but it was only a hook to get support against the Democrats (no follow up on his end).
The only people who support the Republican Party are Qanon´s, racists and already rich people who fear that the Democratic Party takes their money away.
In the modern world there is no place for the Republican party. There should be the Democratic Party as the "For the Rich"- Party and someone left of them for the workers.
This is a bit of a non-sequitur, but on the topic of corporate hegemony/govt-industry-capture I feel it's urgent to get the word out about the need for mass/cheap/at-home rapid tests (to get R below 1 and keep it there) and an FDA official's out-in-the-open conflict of interest that's preventing such a program from getting off the ground. Push for such a program is in this piece from The Hill but Shuren's conflict is not called out:
You may wonder, why hasn't this mass testing happened yet? The top FDA official overseeing testing, Jeffrey Shuren, is deeply conflicted: he is married to a lawyer, Allison Shuren, who "co-chairs the Life Sciences and Healthcare Regulatory practice" at her firm, and whose clients include "diagnostic testing facilities, clinical laboratories".
These clients are making a lot of money right now from COVID testing, and very publicly say these good times will continue for them even with the vaccine rollout:
A government-funded program for mass, cheap, at-home rapid tests would cost Allison Shuren's clients a lot of money! It is her job, her professional responsibility, to protect those clients' interests.
And now there are kids everywhere with MIS-C, multi-system inflammatory syndrome. The child profiled in this NY Times piece died while "bleeding from his mouth, eyes and nose"...Picture that.
Shuren has a conflict of interest, and kids are dying from bleeding through their mouths, eyes, and noses. If Shuren approves these tests this can all end now. Vaccine rollout alone will be too slow and many people do not want to get vaccinated....need more "legs to this stool".
Please talk about this conflict of interest. It's an open fact. Jeffrey Shuren is conflicted, he should be removed and someone competent should approve these tests. This can all end within weeks.

This is strange long email..- avoiding the basic topic. ;-))
I was Bernie supporter in both election years.
"Russia-gate" hoax is and was a scam of the century and -- the lying team is back in power.
Listing all the Trump stupidities is just a - distraction
I don´t think my response is strange.
I´v read that you are only attacking the Democratic Party on Russia-Gate without
giving them credit for the good things they did or wanted to do and found it strange (such a long post to attack the Democratic party).
By this you conceal all the bad things the Republicans do.
In the end it seems you only want to present the Democrats in the bad light
without comparing them to the Republicans.
I responded to your critic about Russia-Gate, stating that they investigated it
and that the results are mostly denied by Anti-Democratic Party people.
Also the Ukraine-Impeachment was no Entertainment. It was successful
(Trump was impeached), but at the time there were more important matters to
focus on.
If you supported Bernie both times, i don´t understand why this big effort to
weaken the party he is working with, by stating this allegation.
Yes, in the best case all the corrupt poiliticians would be ousted (in both
parties) but in reality corruption has been rooted in politics over the past decades.
What would be your goal? You say the Democratic Party is corrupt, so
what now?
Get rid of all of them and let the Republicans rule?
Right now the Democratic Party is doing more for the people in need than
Republicans did in all those past years.
I don´t really see the intend of you post other than to attack the Democrats,
and deflect from the Republican atrocities.
You write pure BS.
Both DNC and GOP oligarchs are corrupt to their eyeballs, have identical interests -- nothing to do with us...
You urgently need to go to a doctor -- to get your head out of your ass
Sorry for the late reply (different time zone), had to go to bed.
Thanks for verifying my claim that many of the politicians, on both sides, are corrupt.
For now just focus on getting the Democrats to do good stuff
like M4A, 2000$(1400$) and climate change policies.
And then focus on getting someone "not corrupt" in office
in 2024 or so.
Russia-Gate was 2016 and if there still is something to find on it,
maybe someone will find it. Fact is both sides (russia and america)
try to interfere with elections (national and international).
But to blame only the Democrats for it looks like an angry Republican.
Maybe N.Chomsky will talk about it in this interview (like he did before
on Youtube "Noam Chomsky on RussiaGate), but i don´t know if this
is something really important to focus on at these times.
And please don´t get so angry during a simple discussion. It may be bad for your blood pressure (you might have to see a doctor).
Best regards and please try not to only focus on the bad things in life.
You urgently need to go to a doctor -- to pull your head out of your ass
Ohhhhhhh shizz, we boutta pop off with Noam!
Will he remember the email 🤔
Hi guys, love the show and what you're doing.
