 Well, as you might have heard there's been a couple of primaries that have taken place tonight across multiple states And I really had no intention of doing a video on this tonight My expectations were to the floor and I really only do videos about elections if there's good news if there's cause for Celebration, but the following day I was planning to do a breakdown as to why the night didn't go as we had hoped for Because that's just what I've become accustomed to doing on this channel. I've been doing it for a very long time but I've got to say The night did not go the way that I expected in fact This is probably Actually the best night the left has ever had since I've been covering politics here on youtube I mean centrists went down in flames across the country progressives had blowouts One in unexpected races one in expected races But still I had my doubts because this is America and whatever can go wrong usually does go wrong So even in these races like the pennsylvania democratic party primary, you know, john fetterman was pulling far ahead, but I still thought I just I'll believe it when I see it right who knows what can go wrong Uh, but in this instance a lot of things went right and we even saw some unexpected things happen on the gop side Where more fire-breathing psychotic republicans who were endorsed by donald trump Not doing too hot. So we're gonna break it down. I'm honestly a little bit like struck Uh, taken aback by the results tonight because again, I was anticipating bad news I had braced for bad news But what I'm getting is the opposite and genuinely I don't know how to process it because in the united states of america Especially if you're a leftist this usually doesn't happen. So let's talk about the republicans first So madison cothorn Has lost his primary it is official Insurrectionist madison cothorn will be a one term congressman. He was defeated by chuck edwards Now chuck edwards is someone who? He's a republican So if you're watching this program and you watch this program regularly You're not going to agree with him But he seems like a more rank and file establishment republican like he has his faux populism thing going on but he doesn't seem as like I don't know insane as madison cothorn so To not have madison cothorn in congress Is really great because madison cothorn is psychotic and if we have one more republican who's seemingly going to blend in with The rest of them and we don't have this individual who's kind of getting a lot of uh headlines And shifting the country to the right. I think that's genuinely a good thing But i've got to say You know ever since madison cothorn Said that there are members of congress who uh like to partake in uh parties involving, you know White substances, maybe flour Um and on top of that, uh, he he said that they like to attend sex parties They've had it out for him. There's been a slow drip of scandals about madison cothorn and I mean these are scandals that essentially lead me to believe that he's a closeted homosexual even though he's Publicly anti-gay. I mean some of the things are very bizarre. There's a video that they leaked of him Naked with I'm not sure if this was confirmed, but his cousin and a bed and he was humping his cousin's face Look all of these scandals don't really matter much to me What he does in congress is by far much more damaging But the GOP had it out for him, which leads me to believe That you know the uh white substance sex parties are a real thing and now that he lost I hope that he names names, but there's that so getting to the uh republican primary in the state of pennsylvania You had david mccormick, dr. Oz and kathy barnett and currently, you know, we're not going to know the results But dr. Oz and david mccormick are in a dead heat and kathy barnett is coming in a distant third place And i've got no love for dr. Oz and uh david mccormick, but kathy barnett was i think the worst in this race because she was so Extreme she marched with the proud boys, you know at the capitol on january 6th 2021 But whereas you have someone like dr. Oz endorsed by donald trump struggling currently Madison cothburn also endorsed by donald trump. So that's something to keep in mind if his influence is waning um and honestly in this race i'm not rooting for any of them But david mccormick is probably It like the preferable one because i think he's the most boring Who could lose uh easier against john fetterman because john fetterman and i've kind of spoiled the next result But i'm sure you've heard heard of it by now, you know john fetterman I want someone who he can be and dr. Oz has name recognition He's a celebrity and he's embarrassed himself, you know, he's flip flopped on a number of issues He released that embarrassing gun ad where he pretended to care about guns So, you know, I want david mccormick to be the one that john fetterman faces And we're not sure how this is going to turn out, but i mean in terms of a gop primary I usually don't care, but if the least crazy one wins that's when i'm i'm happy But let's get to what we all care about The results on the democratic party primary side and of course john fetterman it wasn't even close I mean, this is what polling indicated But he absolutely destroyed the centrist connor lamb whose mansions mini meme in a landslide 59 to 26 percent Let me repeat those numbers 59 to 26 percent now I went into this thinking okay a couple of days ago john fetterman had a stroke I believe he had a medical issue and I felt that that could change things And even before that happened, you know seeing this lead I've I've been around long enough to see giant leads evaporate nina turner in 2021 bernie sanders in 2020 So I thought Not gonna get my hopes up But I mean in this instance What we expected to happen if you follow the polls did happen john fetterman absolutely Crushed connor lamb who is a corporate democrat who's terrible who's essentially a republican like he should be competing In the republican primary, but he's in the democratic party primary And you know he said that uh If you want a socialist if you want someone who's going to be attacked by republicans then vote for john fetterman Turns out that's exactly what people want in the state of pennsylvania So, uh kick rocks each shit hope to never see you again connor lamb Fuck you now when it comes to the state of kentucky This is something that i'm very excited about so a couple of years ago mitch mcconnell He was uh up for reelection and there was a democratic party primary between amy magrath and charles booker Now the democratic party establishment came out for amy magrath And everyone said she's going to lose because she's offering voters nothing And she did indeed lose we all wanted charles booker because even if it would be an uphill battle Even if it would be very difficult for charles booker to win in a deep red state like kentucky He at least has a grassroots movement behind him. He at least is offering voters something Therefore, he has a better chance Well, turns out he defeated multiple opponents in a democratic party primary in a land slide So he will be facing off against rand paul this november And you know, look, this is going to be a tough battle But if anyone's going to face off against rand paul who i'm confident in It's charles booker. This is going to be tough and we're all going to have to do our part to help him phone banking canvassing donations But the fact that he won this and he actually has the chance now I think this is really exciting now for this next race. I I did not expect this to happen and it came very very Very close By a couple of hundred votes, but somebody very progressive won her democratic party primary I'm of course talking about summer lee who defeated steve erwin by just a couple of hundred votes I'll take it. This is someone who believes in medicare for all student that cancellation her politics are online with the squad She's more in line with viewers of this channel. So she actually is A real progressive she run this she ran this campaign with zero corporate money She ran this campaign as a staunch progressive ended paid off And she is going to be a firebrand in congress and i'm really really excited To see her uh if she gets elected. She starts to face off in a general election But um just to have her win this primary is really really exciting now. Uh last but certainly not least in my state of Oregon, there's been a corporate democrat dickhead who's essentially a conservative republican named kerr trader And at the time that I record this he is getting Demolished with 40 percent of precincts reporting kerr trader is losing to jamie mclode skinner and i've got to say if he were to lose this and Check the comment section because i'll be providing you with updates if there are any Uh, then I cannot tell you how happy I will be because of how mad he will be This is an establishment democrat who is essentially A joe mansion light if you will and He's a sellout. He's been bought and paid for by special interests So to have him be defeated by somebody who had not nearly as much money as as him You just you love to see it and I think honestly the tweet of the night is going to go to ken clippenstein Who says centrist stems eating a lot of shit today. Yeah, so I don't know Why this is the case why centrist democrats are all of a sudden performing so poorly But I can't help but think that part of this is due to the way that they responded To the repeal of roe v. Wade how they haven't really been Doing enough. I'm not necessarily sure and we'll have to really wait and see what the exit polls say Do a deeper dive, right? But either way This might have been the one thing that restored the spark. This might get me out of this doomer Attitude that i've been feeling since nina turner lost and to be clear it goes It goes back further than the nina turner losing, but you know, it's been very difficult to stay optimistic and be hopeful at all when there's just you know Loss after loss after loss, you know, we're down to get kicked some more Get kicked even more kicked in the teeth. It just felt like we were never going to get a break but At least when it comes to democratic party primaries, maybe the democratic party base is waking up to the fact That the democratic party needs to change. This is what we've been saying on this show For years. So look, I don't even know How to process this information. I'm still in a little bit of disbelief But what I want to do is leave you with summer lee's concession speech because um The energy is there and I absolutely love it. So enjoy
