"What better way to deepen your connection to the loving lord Christ... I do the Rosary, I know it by heart."
Stefan Molyneux can't make money without YouTube: "What am I gonna go and get a job back in the corporate world? One search and it would be functionally impossible."
Krystal Ball: "Some of [Trump's] support is racist. Much of it, is a more oblique yearning for an earlier time when high school educated white men, willing to work hard, could achieve stability. A time when white men were unequivocally on top of the national pecking order."
Matt Christman on Trumps coup attempt: If you think that this is a threat to democracy, I'm sorry, we don't have one of those... The idea that it was some attack against sacred institutions... This is the most profane and disgusting place on Earth, the US fucking Capitol building

Glenn Greenwald: "I have never ever, ever, ever heard Tucker frame immigration or any other issue in the racist terms that you attributed to him. In fact, he believes that what is racist is liberal discourse, the idea that we should judge people based on their race."
Jackson Hinkle and Haz were reportedly booed and kicked out by pro-Palestinian protesters. Even Norman Finkelstein, who called Mehdi Hasan a "sewer rat" and goes on anti-woke rants, didn't want to be associated with them. I think Norman just wanted to avoid getting booed himself.
Sargon of Akkad: I love Jimmy Dore. I like watching him from a totally common sense and very reasonable perspective. I feel like Jimmy Dore is the kind of leftist you can have a conversation with and he wouldn't be crazy...like a traditional old left- not an unpatriotic communist
Briahna Joy Gray: Fox News is more inclined to have a leftist on than MSNBC and CNN. (MSNBC regularly hosts members of the squad)
Kim Iversen: "I used to hate Tucker Carlson... but I've grown to appreciate him... he's so anti-establishment"
Briahna Joy Gray: That's exactly right.

Max Blumenthal dead-names Ukraine's Territorial Defense Forces transgender spokesperson Sarah Ashton-Cirillo while playing a video of her pre-transition, and call her a “freak show,” and a “repulsive reflection of the Ukrainian’s military presentation of the world.”
Max defends Alex Jones, blames Sandy Hook parents for "portraying themselves as victims of too much free speech." Jones defamed, harassed, & compounded the grief of Sandy Hook parents. Jeremy Richmond committed suicide, his daughter, Avielle, was killed in the SH school shooting.
Dore launches violent, misogynistic attack on Emma Vigeland and Ana Kasparian: If they ever got five feet within a worker they'd get punched in the fucking face. Emma Vigeland ever got near a fucking worker they'd tell her to get the fuck outta here and go back to your cul-de-sac
Russian state media: We want to drown Ukrainian children and burn houses down with Ukrainians in it. Ukrainians are satanists, ghouls, worms, & should not exist at all. We should execute them by firing squad. We can exterminate all of you. Aaron Maté: Putin wants peace.

Shoe0nhead reports that Pete Buttigieg is a robot and "a CIA experiment that grew in a test tube. He was MK-ultra'd with Obama's speeches into his brain," later reiterating that "he was basically made in a test tube by the DNC."
Jimmy Dore provides evidence that he made inappropriate, humiliating comments about Ana Kasparian at TYT.
"I wrote her a card saying sorry... that was inappropriate. You don't have to worry about that happening again. I won't comment on your clothes anymore."
Jimmy Dore melts down on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, lying that she voted for The CARES Act: "Fuck you! You already voted for The CARES Act! Fuck you, and fuck anybody who is protecting her! Fuck you!"
Rolling Stone has cut ties with Matt Taibbi and Katie Halper. "We're no longer going to be in this space," Matt Taibbi said. "Rolling Stone and Useful Idiots are parting ways, we don't have to get into the details of why exactly that is..."
Matt Taibbi claims that "there's a core of emotional truth animating the Qanon conspiracy theory... but the Russia thing... doesn't really have a correlation to anything that makes any sense."
Maté agrees.
The Grayzone's Aaron Maté falsely denies that Trump incited the mob, falsely suggests that Nancy Pelosi is to be blamed for the Capitol attack, and falsely claims she spurned security measures.

Noam Chomsky on Democracy Now in 2022: Ukraine must negotiate with Russia through their “Master” the U.S.
Noam Chomsky in 1970 during Vietnam War: Anyone calling for negotiations is delusional
Noam Chomsky wrote in 1970:“Withdrawal of American troops must be a unilateral act, as the invasion of Vietnam by the American government was a unilateral act in the first place. Those who had been calling for 'negotiations now' were deluding themselves and others."
Kim Iversen falsely claims that the Holocaust is “exaggerated” and “inflated.”

Glenn Greenwald falsely claims that I'm a DNC operative.
Greenwald: "I want to give a warm welcome to this creepy little DNC operative, Bernie-hating worm named Matthew Dimitri."
( I supported Bernie Sanders in the primary and still do.)
Greenwald and Katie Herzog lament that trans people have surpassed sis white gay men and lesbians on the "ladder of oppression." Glenn claims, "The minute you declare yourself nonbinary or trans, you catapult up the ladder of oppression that absolutely confers concrete benefits."
Jimmy Dore dubiously blames his producer for manipulating Fortune article: "Unfortunately, he can't be with us anymore because I can't have someone on like that who's sloppy, stupid, and does something like that. Someone's paying the price for this."
Dore refers to gay people as "the gays," and engages in holocaust denial: "Hitler wasn't even as bad as half the Democrats who wanted to put the unvaxxed in internment camps and take away their children. Oh no, wait, sorry they're about the same, I guess. They're about the same."
Matt Taibbi claims that "there's a core of emotional truth animating the Qanon conspiracy theory... but the Russia thing... doesn't really have a correlation to anything that makes any sense."

Secular Talk won't call Stefan Molyneux a white supremacist: "But the majority of the stuff on his channel is not really race related, and he used to be this hardcore
libertarian guy, and then he became more of a paleo conservative. [...] He's not as bad as Richard Spencer."
Greenwald: Where's this left-wing populist movement? You're minimizing right-wing populism, and maximizing left-wing populism.

Glenn Greenwald falsely claims that Fox News "didn't make much of a difference," in selling the Iraq war: "What sold the war were places like the New York Times."
Fact check: Fox influenced media outlets to be much more hawkish through what's known as the Fox Effect.
Chomsky absurdly claims the Kremlin propaganda network RT being banned means not letting Americans know "what the Russians are saying," complains that "the Russophobia is out of sight" as Russia continues to commit some of the 21st century's worst atrocities against Ukrainians.
Jimmy Dore revels in Cenk Uygur's misfortune: "And now Cenk knows what its like to be smeared repeatedly in a political campaign over garbage. So, now he knows how Tulsi feels."
YouTube claims it will also block access to channels associated with Russian state-funded media globally. Jimmy Dore is an RT employee, has frequently appeared on the Kremlin propaganda network.
Assadist Abby Martin, on Ash Sarkar of Novara Media’s show, uses her passive voice discussing Russia’s genocide of Ukraine and blames the US and UK for it: “A lot of lives lost, but also Putin’s gonna get a lot more of what he wanted after so many needless deaths have happened.”
Glenn Greenwald claims “no evidence”that Putin killed Navalny, asking what is the motive for Putin to kill the Russian opposition leader and suggests that Navalny’s death was timed to send $60 billion in aid to Ukraine.
The problem with Chomsky is not that he knows little about Syria (which indeed is the case); the problem is that he can never say, “I do not know.” Within his perspective, he is as omniscient as U.S. imperialism is omnipotent.
Russell Brand: Alex Jones is “ahead of his time,” “there's a need for" him, & the term conspiracy theorist is used to prevent legitimate questions.
Jones lied that SH massacre was a hoax with actors, TX jury this month awarded parents of a slain 6-year-old, $49 million in damages
John Oliver highlights that Trump reportedly told Chinese President Xi Jinping to "go ahead with building the [concentration] camps because it was exactly the right thing to do."

Aaron Maté: Russia “is helping to unite children… this idea that Russia has this mass program of abducting children doesn't fly, and the only source I can see is a State Department-funded group.” Countless media outlets have reported Russia kidnapping Ukrainian children.
Russian state media: “Ukrainians should be exterminated like rats.”
“Parasites [that] should be exterminated.”
“These are Devils and they must be destroyed!”
“We should kill another 5,000.”
“I’m telling you, we’re fighting ghouls.”
Aaron Maté: Washington keeps blocking peace!
How many times have I pointed out Incitement to Genocide from Russian State Media?
I honestly don’t know, I’d have to set aside a decent amount of time to go count. Think about that. IT SHOULD BE ZERO.
The world needs to address this.

Glenn Greenwald: "What Media Matters does, what they're funded to do... they're never there to take the clips that make Tucker look good, or reasonable, or compassionate, or humanitarian...they frame them on purpose to get you angry, to make you feel like he's a terrible person."

Jimmy Dore and Max Blumenthal defame me as being in on an operation.
Blumenthal: "It's an operation, if you're an anti-imperialist and you're on the left disrupting the official narrative about these very sensitive issues of war and peace... this guy is gonna come for you."
Ana Kasparian whines to Ben Shapiro that in the mind of the Left, "You are the exact same person as Tucker Carlson. I think you're different... You're different from Matt Walsh... [and] Candace Owens."
Shapiro, Carlson, Walsh, Owens, are bigots who engage in stochastic terrorism
Dave Rubin and Glenn Greenwald falsely allege that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ruined a chance to ally with Ted Cruz against income inequality.
Fact: Cruz's incitement of violence did put AOC at danger.
Daniel Bessner advises “from the perspective of leftists” to do nothing in Ukraine, claiming the U.S. arming Ukraine will lead to mass killings, but it’s actually caused civilian casualties to plummet. No mention of the genocide Russia is perpetrating on Ukrainian civilians.
Katie Herzog: Am I supposed to treat furries as this sort of queer marginalized identity and now I can no longer make fun of them because they have sex with Tony the Tiger costumes on?
Hasan Piker won’t denounce Second Thought for anti-Semitic claim that all Israelis and their babies are legitimate military targets, says it’s “utterly inconsequential…doesn’t matter at all,” and that “there are baby settlers.”

Breaking news y’all: The Putin funded, racist pedophile ex-PM of Italy who has zero insight into the conflict beyond his relationship with Putin says the war is Ukraine’s fault.🤡
Carl Beijer is pushing an antisemitic (((Soros))) conspiracy theory that Ukrainians don’t really want military aid, but would rather cede their land to Russia so that they can be slaughtered in camps.
