All right, we have some other breaking news,
political news that I want to ask you about.
Representative Corey Bush lost her primary in Missouri tonight.
She is the second member of the so-called progressive squad
in Congress to now be ousted.
What does this loss tell you?
Oh, this is the second it might be the last
because Ilhan Omar has a primary next week and she's
in better shape than Bush has been the second victory
by APAC, by pro Israel donors by also the crypto
industry that's that's funded this pack fair shakes that spent
money in the race United democracy project.
The APEC organization spent around $9 million against Bush and
the strategy here was like it was in New York
against Bowman to find her early on because of her
vote against the infrastructure bill and her record in Congress,
not just as. Somebody who is anti Israel,
the ads weren't about that as somebody who wasn't a
good Democrat dealing with the party to get things done.
And so they're going to declare victory.
I think they already have and say that what what
happened to Corey Bush proves that Democrats can't be too
critical of of funding Israel,
supporting Israel. They can't call for immediate ceasefire or conditioning
aid.
They can't be mealy mouthed about Hamas.
That's two victories by the pro Israel.
I wouldn't even say wing the Democratic Party because this
is Democratic and Republican donors.
And it look, it comes in the context of a
lot of progressives being very happy that Tim Walz,
who was reaching out to the uncommitted delegates who had
a very different tenor,
even though he's pro Israel talking about it than Josh
Shapiro did.
That's this is the flip side of it.
There are two fewer progressives in the next Congress,
even if Democrats win it,
who lost their seats because they crossed the pro Israel
donor base,
the Israel lobby. That's the overall message here.
