37:24Now PlayingThird Way, AIPAC, and the War on Progressive Voices - They Are Terrified of Hasan Piker
Hawk pulls back the curtain on the coordinated campaign targeting Hassan Piker, tracing it directly to Third Way, a centrist Democratic think tank with deep ties to AIPAC and Zionist funding, reportedly planning to spend between 30 and 50 million dollars against progressive candidates and voices through 2028. The campaign involves elected Democrats including Alyssa Slotkin, Ruben Gallego, and Cory Booker, along with CNN anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, all using the same laundry list of talking points pulled directly from Third Way, none of whom have spent meaningful time actually watching Hassan Piker's content or invited him to respond.
Hawk lays out recent polling showing 80 percent of Democratic voters now hold negative views of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli government, and the Israeli military, with that number rising to 90 percent among Democrats aged 18 to 42. Republicans in that same age group are approaching 60 percent negative. Despite this, a DNC non-binding resolution to reject AIPAC money specifically failed to pass. AIPAC spent roughly 2.5 million dollars against Tom Malinowski in New Jersey simply for suggesting military aid to Israel should have conditions, a clear warning shot to every Democrat in the country.
Hawk also calls out establishment Democrats for their decade-long addiction to incremental change rhetoric while Donald Trump has spent 15 months remaking the country by simply doing it. Democrats are leaving Hassan Piker's core audience, voters under 30, completely uncontested while refusing to go anywhere near the podcasts and platforms where those voters actually live.
