Carlson Max Blumenthal joins ░░░░░░░░ in studio I love ░░░░░░░░ exchange because it s ░░░░░░░░ to so many I ░░░░░░░░ had on the show ░░░░░░░░ if you call into ░░░░░░░░ the facts being asserted ░░░░░░░░ are immediately accused of ░░░░░░░░ a handmaiden to Vladimir ░░░░░░░░ Let me just ask ░░░░░░░░ broadest possible question You ░░░░░░░░ not a Trump voter ░░░░░░░░ supporter you re a ░░░░░░░░ man of the left ░░░░░░░░ pretty well known one ░░░░░░░░ yet you don t ░░░░░░░░ that this Russia story ░░░░░░░░ helpful to the left ░░░░░░░░ makes sense why BLUMENTHAL ░░░░░░░░ have to talk about ░░░░░░░░ issue of efficacy also ░░░░░░░░ addition to the fact ░░░░░░░░ I haven t seen ░░░░░░░░ concrete evidence and Rachel ░░░░░░░░ s dots may never ░░░░░░░░ As someone on the ░░░░░░░░ who was actually gone ░░░░░░░░ and protested Trump I ░░░░░░░░ t expect this hysteria ░░░░░░░░ completely take over but ░░░░░░░░ I see what the ░░░░░░░░ is of it I ░░░░░░░░ Trump as the apotheosis ░░░░░░░░ a failed political establishment ░░░░░░░░ from the Democrats and ░░░░░░░░ Republicans pushing corporate trade ░░░░░░░░ permanent war and I ░░░░░░░░ the Democrats should have ░░░░░░░░ with a big narrative ░░░░░░░░ permanent war and for ░░░░░░░░ equality Instead they are ░░░░░░░░ Russia scandal mongering nonstop ░░░░░░░░ has consumed all of ░░░░░░░░ Progressive grassroots movements I ░░░░░░░░ in and it s ░░░░░░░░ buried the left in ░░░░░░░░ militaristic narrative that ambitious ░░░░░░░░ like Jamie Raskin are ░░░░░░░░ Mark my words Tucker ░░░░░░░░ Trump is gone this ░░░░░░░░ this Russia hysteria will ░░░░░░░░ repurposed by the political ░░░░░░░░ to attack the left ░░░░░░░░ anyone on the left ░░░░░░░░ Sanders like politician who ░░░░░░░░ out of line on ░░░░░░░░ issues of permanent war ░░░░░░░░ corporate free trade things ░░░░░░░░ that will be painted ░░░░░░░░ Russia puppets This is ░░░░░░░░ dangerous and people who ░░░░░░░░ Progressive who are falling ░░░░░░░░ it need to know ░░░░░░░░ the long term consequences ░░░░░░░░ this cynical narrative are ░░░░░░░░ It seems virtually everyone ░░░░░░░░ the left in Washington ░░░░░░░░ some exceptions you re ░░░░░░░░ I know and a ░░░░░░░░ of others but I ░░░░░░░░ people who I think ░░░░░░░░ reasonable although I don ░░░░░░░░ agree with them who ░░░░░░░░ to really believe that ░░░░░░░░ Putin was in control ░░░░░░░░ the last election Do ░░░░░░░░ think they believe it ░░░░░░░░ I don t know ░░░░░░░░ can t speak for ░░░░░░░░ people I m not ░░░░░░░░ mind reader but there ░░░░░░░░ definitely a political class ░░░░░░░░ Washington that sees Russia ░░░░░░░░ mongering as a silver ░░░░░░░░ to take out Trump ░░░░░░░░ then you have the ░░░░░░░░ were basically the Democratic ░░░░░░░░ that came in and ░░░░░░░░ out Keith Ellison the ░░░░░░░░ sellout establishment that can ░░░░░░░░ agree on a big ░░░░░░░░ message that doesn t ░░░░░░░░ single payer So this ░░░░░░░░ just convenient because this ░░░░░░░░ them a way of ░░░░░░░░ Trump without having to ░░░░░░░░ anything remotely Progressive.”
