 Joe Biden who has he's really the only one in the whole entire world that has the power to stop this Say within the next hour Literally by just turning off the faucet pulling the plug No more bombs. No more guns. No more bullets. No more nothing until you mr. Netanyahu stop the slaughter and We're the bank for this folks you and me Much we give each year collectively. It's a lot of money and President Biden you have to do your part Why are you risking having even 10,000 people not show up Who are just deciding they've already decided they're not gonna vote because of this Hillary lost Michigan by 10,000 votes Don't make the same mistake Please You just listened to a snippet from Michael Moore's latest podcast where he pleads with Biden to stop Supporting Netanyahu's genocide in Gaza because doing so could literally cost him the election in November Now he goes on to make not just a political argument But he also tries to appeal to Biden's sense of morality and Catholicism saying quote You know who you are and what you have to do. You must have thought it You must have thought about it during mass on Easter public opinion is completely against this ethnic cleansing and he goes on to add It's been just an awful thing for all of us to be witness to We'd like to think about it because our president the one that has to stop Trump from winning in November Is the number one financial backer and the number one arms dealer for the state of israel So what do we do with that? Yeah, and what he's saying here is particularly important after 48,000 people in wisconsin voted Uncommitted on Tuesday's primary a state that biden won in 2020 with just 20,000 more votes than trump and this comes as a wall street journal poll finds that he's neck and neck with trump in the state But that same poll also shows that biden is losing to trump in every other key swing state Pennsylvania by three nevada by four michigan by three north carolina by six Arizona by five and georgia by one an aggregate national poll show that trump is narrowly leading biden overall Now to be clear biden isn't trailing trump because people are flipping and voting for trump instead He's trailing trump because large portions of his own base are planning to stay home Because they are disillusioned with his unwavering support for israel and ahead of tuesday's vote msnbc reporter Maya eaglin spoke to students in wisconsin about why they're choosing to cast protest votes And uh, here's what they had to say we've seen tens of thousands of primary voters cast uncommitted votes Throughout the country already over 89,000 in washington 52,000 in colorado and 101,000 in michigan And the young voters i spoke with in wisconsin or are organizing another wave of these protest votes Through the unconstructed movement to voice their disappointment with biden's response to the war in gaza. Take a look Wisconsinites have had enough Hala agmed is a palestinian american and the listen to wisconsin spokesperson Their campaign officially kicked off in milwaukee on march 19th I think the democratic party has lost all legitimacy In our communities the campaign's goal is to get at least 20,000 people in wisconsin to vote uninstructed Which means uncommitted or choosing no candidate That number is roughly the same number of votes that won biden the state in the 2020 general election If in november we still don't have a ceasefire I don't know what will be left in gaza And that's our focus in this campaign a march gala poll found that 55 percent of americans disapprove of israel's military action in gaza But that number is even higher at 63 percent when looking at just voters between the ages of 18 and 34 Another young voter involved in the uninstructed movement is 22-year-old dahlia saba This is a campaign that's being run by students and by young people who really care about this Saba has family in gaza and says organizing protest efforts in wisconsin allows her to feel empowered Joe biden has already Won the democratic nomination So the uninstructed campaign is really a way of sending a message. It is not about Him actually becoming president or not. It is a way for us to quantify. This is how many people care about this issue We are democrats. We're voting in the democratic primary These are your constituents and your policy is alienating them I feel like this is obvious But if voters in swing states like wisconsin and michigan really do choose to stay home and biden does lose them permanently Trump wins and if that happens biden and biden alone will be the one to blame because their message Couldn't be more clear stop supporting genocide or lose their votes And down ballot democrats are also worried that biden's support for israel could cost them their elections as well And they're right to be worried because this is deeply deeply troubling to people They are morally outraged that our government is supporting this that is a legitimate concern And michael moore isn't the only celebrity that's telling biden to take concerns of these voters seriously because democratic party loyalists Like sonny hauston who has morally supported the democratic party for years is also saying what michael moore is saying Take these voters. Seriously. Do not take them for granted. Let's watch You know, I I don't think that you can tell people Whose families have been killed um Whole entire lines of their families have been murdered Um 30 over 32,000 people women and children the majority that well, but if trump wins It would be better the problem here is that it would be worse the problem here is that They are making themselves known michigan has about 200 000 muslim voters They are losing their family members and the united states The the un has found is complicit in that and that is because the united states sends 3.8 billion dollars worth of aid to israel and that also includes arming them social scientists have found That if the united states stopped providing that aid The war would be over Let me just finish this the war would be over in three days and she's right That's why people are leveraging their votes to get biden to stop But the problem is the democratic party elites tend to just disregard what their own base wants This isn't the first time that they've done it and i'm sure it won't be the last and i say this because sonny hauston Was actually responding to uh this comment from hillary clinton on jimmy falden show What do you what do you say to voters who are upset that those are the two choices? Get over yourself. Those are the two choices Yeah, I love that now It's easy for her to say that as a warmonger and fellow supporter of israel's genocide But the problem is no amount of scolding voters is going to persuade them to vote for you Hillary of all people should know this since her hubris is in part why trump became president in the first place But steven a smith was actually asked about her comments And i think that he did a perfect job at articulating everything that i wanted to say about this And then more let's watch. I don't think it was a very wise statement on her part. How did that work out for her in 2016? I think that's something that we have to recognize here. She won the popular vote But at the end of the day, she wasn't the president of the united states It was him You can look at her not campaigning in wisconsin in the last days not campaigning in pennsylvania in the last days You can look at some of the stuff that they were saying about her that sort of distracted things from Where it should have been in terms of comey and his report from the fbi You can bring up a whole bunch of things but at the end of the day the last thing you need to do Is to do anything that could agitate a potential voter in this particular election What do you make about the actual argument that she's making? I mean, she's basically saying Two old people yes, but they're substantively different. I mean, absolutely one counts against him Nobody's brought that up more than me for you know for indictments 91 counts impeached twice I'm not voting for him. I've said that to a lot of people I've said that to you but at the end of the day What I'm saying is is that at some point in time you got to take into account what the voters thinking about The voters a lot of them out there tens of millions of them out there by the way don't care What he's going through right now, they don't care about his guilt or innocence his perceived guilt or innocence They don't care about the 91 counts They're thinking about their lives and a lot of times we see politicians taking the positions that they're taking And while we can respect their candid and their honesty They do seem a bit detached that time from what the voters are actually feeling and what the voters are actually thinking Nobody wants to hear that from hillary rodden clinton at this particular moment of time because especially if you're joe bodin What are you really really worried about right now? You're worried about folks coming to the polls You're worried about them showing up to the polls to vote for you You're not worried even about them voting for trump. You're worried about them not showing up to vote for you That doesn't exactly encourage them to get up out of their seats Exactly every single thing that he said they're spot on But to say politicians are detached from voters is a bit of an understatement given the events that transpired this week For example israel deliberately targeted and murdered seven world central kitchen workers And i say that this was deliberate because they triple tapped them and they knew their location since the group gave the IDF their route so they wouldn't be targeted, but they were targeted anyway They were triple tapped in fact the IDF dropped a bomb directly on the logo that was on the roof of their car While they were traveling through a Deconflicted zone mind you and it's not the first time that they've done this in 2006 They dropped a bomb right on the logo of a red cross ambulance So we know what they're doing this was targeted and they targeted aid workers because as shan put it Their goal is to reduce the aid palestinians are getting because it is using starvation as a weapon As evidenced by the fact that they are blocking aid from getting in and their own defense minister said that they would Be cutting off food at the start of this siege So this is all purposeful Now how does the biden administration respond to this because normal people see this and they're outraged rightfully so Well, john kerby's response was basically Eh, what are you gonna do? It sounds based on what jose andres has said that these workers were doing everything right Their vehicle was marked. They were in a safe zone. Yeah, what more could they have done? Yeah, it's really I mean, it's devastating to to see these images and to hear these early reports about the steps that they tried to take to protect themselves Um, but the israelis look, they've already said this was on them and they're doing this investigation. We obviously want to Want to make sure that that investigation gets completed and as as transparent as possible As I said my opening statement that there's accountability to be to be held here It sure is crazy how many unintentional murders of aid workers and journalists and journalist families and medics and children That we keep seeing it almost feels like to me that they're doing this on purpose And whenever they say it was an accident or they deny culpability they're lying Because they are but I mean if you buy the lies of the israeli government first and foremost I've got a bridge to sell you but you at least have to concede That there may be being a little bit too careless So perhaps the u.s. Government might want to condition aid at a minimum Just so they feel a little bit of pressure to be less careless, right? That's if we're being very very charitable more charitable than we should be right since we're giving them the bombs that they're Accidentally dropping on non-combatants. Maybe we should consider conditioning aid. Is that even a possibility? Of course not How can they how can the u.s. Can continue to send military military? Without any conditions. Is there no red line? You know, we've had this we've had this discussion you and me quite a bit from up here They're still under a viable threat of Hamas We're still going to make sure that they can defend themselves and that 7th of october doesn't happen again That doesn't mean that it's a free pass that that we that we look the other way when something like this happens Or that we aren't and haven't since the beginning of the conflict urged the israelis to be more precise to be more careful and quite frankly to Increase the the the amount of humanitarian assistance that gets in You know, I haven't been asked about it yet, but I expected I would be you know There was a discussion just yesterday with our israeli counterparts about rafa. Now this one was done virtually We expect there'll be an in-person meeting here in a week's time or so But the whole reason to have that meeting Was to talk about our concerns over a major ground operation in rafa and to present viable alternatives for them to be more Precise and more targeted. So the idea that we're we're we're some plastic graveyard here We're not paying attention to to the civilian casualties or the civilian suffering is just not true. These are verbal Urgings verbal commitments. There's no other incentive besides I know you want us to you want us to hang some sort of condition over their neck And what i'm telling is that we continue to to to work with the israelis to make sure that they are as precise Escape as they can be and that more aids getting in and and we're going to continue to to take that approach And you said that the questioner wanted you to hang some conditions over their necks That for the israelis and your term suggested you wouldn't do that. Why not? I've already answered this question a whole bunch of times We believe that the approach that we're taking is working in terms of Making it clear to the israelis what our expectations are On the point of condition is the present on february 8th issued a memo And it said You already know this but just for context It said that it was the policy of this administration to prevent arms transfers that risk facilitating Or otherwise contributing to violations of human rights or international humanitarian law is Firing a missile at people delivering food and killing not a violation of international humanitarian law Israelis have already admitted that this was a mistake that they made they're doing investigation They'll get to the bottom of this. Let's not get ahead of that Your your question presumes at this very early hour That it was a deliberate strike that they knew exactly what they were hitting that they were hitting aid workers and did it on purpose And there's no evidence of that I would also remind you sir that We continue to look at incidents as they occur The state department has a process in place and to date as you and I are speaking they have not found any incidents Where the israelis have violated international humanitarian law unless you think we don't take it seriously I can assure you that we do we look at this in real time They have never violated international humanitarian law ever in the past five to six months I'm telling you the state department has looked at incidents in the past and has yet to determine that any of those incidents Violate international humanitarian law Of course the state department said that because if it were the case that they found israel in violation of international law Then sending them aid would be illegal under domestic law specifically the foreign assistance act So they're choosing to pretend like israel is following international law Even though israel already admitted that they're not and I say this because cutting off food is collective punishment Which is a war crime that is illegal under international law They admitted that they're doing that at the start of this siege But yet they're following international law according to the state department. Sure It's so fucking infuriating in other words israel can literally do whatever the fuck they want They could do anything and the biden administration is never going to hold them accountable not even entertain the notion of conditioning aid That's how despicable we are This is what steven a smith meant when he said politicians are detached Because normal people react to the purposeful murder of aid workers with outrage and expect accountability But when it comes to biden we do get the fake outrage at least but no accountability and that's the problem For example, he tweeted about how outraged and heartbroken he was that the genocidal country He's funding murdered seven humanitarian aid workers But as you can see nina turner ratioed him with the thing that we're all thinking Stop sending them our money and bombs now, but he's not gonna stop. He's not even going to condition aid to israel He's going to let them continue to get away with literal murder Even if it jeopardizes his own re-election chances Which netanyahu wants by the way because he definitely wants to see trump back in office Because trump gave him more things than any other president gave him He gave him the golan heights. He recognized jerusalem As the capital of israel and moved the embassy there So netanyahu Wins if biden loses and biden is too stupid to get that or doesn't care about that Now i say biden is going to continue to let them get away with murder Because earlier in the day before he made that tweet He was pressuring congress to approve one of the largest arms sales to israel In years and as political reports He's digging his heels in even more and is refusing to change his israel policy Even though officials within his own fucking administration disagree with him and i cannot stress this enough Biden knows that the american people find this unacceptable It's not just celebrities like michael moore and sonny hauston who are begging him to listen to his own constituents It's palestinian doctors like terra mad who did this when he had the chance to confront biden to his face You know we had shown up to this meeting really concerned about what was taking place in the gaza strip And i'm glad that you mentioned that we were You know insisting that there would not be any food there made no sense for us to sort of break bread While talking about a famine taking place We had shown up in the president and the vice president the national security adviser in the room And it was very brief comments by the president saying he wants to hear from us and he wants to listen to us And so i spoke first and i let him know that i am from a community that's reeling We are grieving and we our heart is broken for what's been taking place over the last six months And that the rhetoric that has been coming out of the biden administration that's been coming out of the white house It's frustrated a lot of people especially people who are palestinian americans muslim americans arab americans We are not satisfied with what has taken place. There has been no concrete steps But keep in mind we're very concerned about the people that are over in the gaza strip that are in palestine right now Who are not just starving but are facing the threat of a looming rafa invasion And so i was able to share that with the president and let him know that out of respect for my community Out of respect for all of the people who have suffered and who have been killed in the process I need to walk out of the meeting and i want to walk out With decision makers and let them know what it feels like For somebody to say something and then walk away from them and not hear them out and not hear their response Wow, i mean, what did how did president biden respond to that? You know, there wasn't a lot of response. He's actually said that he understood And i walked away and i think you know for me Just like many of the other palestinian americans and palestinians or as i mentioned many of the people who are interested in what's going on We're panicking. I mean, we're talking about 1.7 million people are in rafa right now And we heard that there was a un security resolution that had passed and the us abstained And we were thrilled about this but only moments later to have that sort of joy ripped from us When our own white house is saying, oh, it's a non binding resolution They're undermining the very u and security council resolution that's calling for a ceasefire Okay, well then let's take about what happens next Oh, then we hear that there's an arms transfer that's going to take place And we know that included in these arms transfers are these 2000 pound bounds that are leveling neighborhoods I mean, I was in gaza in january. I saw the devastation of con unis. I saw del bala I mean these bombs are wreaking havoc and people are fleeing to the south to rafa The southern edge of gaza bordering up against egypt and we're transferring more bombs more bullets more fighter jets What's going to happen to those people in rafa? I mean, i'm telling you that every single humanitarian aid organization Every single person invested in what's taking place and watching we are trying to scream at the top of our lungs Please we cannot allow a ground invasion to take place We need food to be able to enter and it to be distributed safely And i'm glad you mentioned the tragic loss of the world's central kitchen workers who were a part of an approved route I mean, these are people who are coordinating and just trying to deliver food to hungry people and they're assassinated in the process So make no mistake about it biden knows his own base wants him to stop arming this genocidal regime But he is choosing to continue doing it even though he knows it could cost him the election in november So every single time he feigns concern about civilian casualties or aid workers It's like a slap in the face to his own constituents because we all know he doesn't actually mean it Based on his actions if he did mean it he'd cut off the weapons, but he's not willing to do that So he's full of shit. He can't feign ignorance at this point like he just he knows What the uncommitted and uninstructed voters want but he's willfully choosing to disregard them because he presumably doesn't think he needs them In fact, biden is actually doubling down on his effort to court moderate nicky hayley voters Who are much less concerned about gaza genocide than his own base So I mean why kowtow to the tens of thousands of disillusioned democrats in swing states when you can make up for their absence with disillusioned republican voters in fact This was uh the strategy for democrats back in 2016 if some of you will recall as explained by chuck schumer For every blue collar democrat we will lose in western pa We will pick up two three Moderate republicans in the suburbs of philadelphia and you can repeat that in ohio and illinois and wisconsin Turns out that didn't happen and trump ended up winning and conservatives got a super majority on the supreme court Now i'm not saying that biden shouldn't court moderate republicans But what i am saying is that campaigning to them shouldn't come at the expense of outreach to your own base Furthermore, how you court moderate republicans Matters right if you compromise your own principles and go too far to the right you risk alienating your own base even further And that's not conjecture. That's not michael saying it It's political science research out of europe that confirms shifting to the right does not help liberal parties win votes In particular adopting right-wing policies with regard to immigration and the economy really turns off your own supporters And as professor to rick shawty puts it conservative voters tend to prefer the original to the copy and logically so Now when you listen to biden xenophobic rhetoric on the border as of late and all of this effort that he's putting into courting Nikki haley voters It really does feel like he's giving up on his own base since they're pissed off at him and he doesn't want to change his israel policy so maybe he just feels like It's easier to court them and win that way and i hope that that's not the case But if it is He's gonna lose this election. But this video is already long enough. So i'm just gonna end by uh Saying that the situation is so dire that mainstream media outlets are now saying what progressives like myself have been screaming about for years Listen to your goddamn base. They're not cursing But they're saying that and they're telling him that you can't win without them I think by now if we haven't learned the lessons from 2016 Then we are purposefully trying to lose this election because It couldn't be more obvious. Biden has received the message. He's just choosing to not listen He's choosing to disregard it Which means that if he loses the selection, he can't blame voters It'll be his fault and his fault alone and no amount of scolding from losers like hillary clinton is going to change that reality
