The former campaign manager for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign said that the Democratic Party is in a “really depressing” state without a message and without a leader.

Patti Solis Doyle made the comments in an interview with journalist Mark Halperin on his podcast that aired Friday. Solis Doyle ran Clinton’s failed bid for the Democratic nomination in 2008.

‘When you lose, the party that loses gets … attacked and criticized, and they’re the stupidest people that ever walked the planet, and ‘How could you have missed that?’ That’s what’s happening with the Democrats right now.’

“Right now we’re leaderless, we’re messageless, we’re agendaless, we don’t have any alternative ideas to the president and the Republicans right now. So, you know, I’m concerned, to say the least,” she said.

Solis Doyle went on to say that former President Joe Biden was not leading the party at all.

“You know, if your party holds the White House, the leader of the party is president,” she said. “If your party doesn’t hold the White House, the leader of the party is the last, you know, president of that party. So right now for us, that’s Joe Biden, but he has completely — you know, he’s off the radar completely.”

She also said that she was happy she wasn’t involved with the party because of the political in-fighting.

“It sounds really depressing, what’s going on at the party,” she added. “I mean, overall, when you lose, the party that loses gets, as you know — as I know, personally — attacked and criticized, and they’re the stupidest people that ever walked the planet, and ‘How could you have missed that?’ That’s what’s happening with the Democrats right now. They’re getting attacked from all sides.”

A poll in May found that Democrats were extremely pessimistic about the future of their party. Only about one-third of Democrats polled by the Associated Press said they were very optimistic or somewhat optimistic about the future of the party.

Solis Doyle was praised as the first Hispanic woman to manage a presidential campaign. Her parents are originally from Mexico.

Last week, the Los Angeles Dodgers faced an opponent that didn’t come bearing bats. According to the team’s official X account, it was Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

The Dodgers claimed the ICE agents were attempting to access Dodger Stadium but were denied entry. However, there’s one major problem with the story — ICE denies that there were any agents there.

“What happened was, it was Customs and Border Protection, specifically Border Patrol, and of course people were saying, ‘Well, how could you tell?’” Blaze Media national correspondent Julio Rosas tells BlazeTV host Jill Savage and Blaze News editor in chief Matthew Peterson on “Blaze News I The Mandate.”

Rosas explains that in the photos and videos of Border Patrol’s arrival at the stadium, they’re clearly wearing vests that say “Border Patrol” and “Police” on them.

“Los Angeles in particular, but the country as a whole,” he says, “they are just hypersensitive and hypervigilant.”

Recently, there was an issue with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, where in order to calm people down, they had to release a statement explaining that their unmarked units were not ICE.

“The problem is that this has been stoked for a very long time, and Democrats and the media have been very irresponsible in their reporting on operations. So when there’s any hint of any sort of a perceived—real or not—immigration enforcement, people right now are primed to just overreact,” Rosas says.

“It just shows how crazy people have become over this when the whole reason why we’re in this mess in the first place, primarily, is that we had an open border for four years, and the administration is trying to get a handle on this very massive problem,” he adds.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and two other Republicans signed a letter to an immigrant rights nonprofit asking for information linking them to the Los Angeles ICE riots.

Protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in Los Angeles spiraled into days of violence and vandalism and led to National Guard and U.S. Marine troops being sent out to provide security.

‘This raises concerns that CHIRLA may be using federal funds to support violent criminal activity that impedes the enforcement of federal immigration law.’

In the wake of the rioting, some independent investigators began to link the rioting with the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, a nonprofit organization closely aligned with Democrats.

On Tuesday, House Republicans sent a letter to CHIRLA requesting information documenting where the money was spent in order to determine whether taxpayer funds had been used to fuel the violent riots, according to the New York Post.

The letter said that CHIRLA had received nearly $1 million in taxpayer-funded grants during the Biden-Harris administration.

“This raises concerns that CHIRLA may be using federal funds to support violent criminal activity that impedes the enforcement of federal immigration law,” the letter reads. “As part of our constitutional oversight responsibilities, we request your voluntary cooperation with our oversight of this matter.”

A spokesperson for CHIRLA had previously admitted that the group had organized a press event against ICE ahead of the protests, and had organized “legal observers” to immigration courts and detention centers, but denied any involvement in the protests.

“We have not participated, coordinated, or been part of the protests being registered in Los Angeles other than the press conference and rally cited above,” the spokesperson said.

Independent investigation from DataRepublican found that CHIRLA had obtained $34 million from California, an amount that had skyrocketed from the $12 million the group had received the year prior.

The judiciary committee gave CHIRLA until July 8 to comply with the request.

Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont (I) tried to make his case against campaign contributions on the right in front of Joe Rogan, but the popular podcaster shut him down quickly.

Sanders made his pitch against large campaign contributions made by tech billionaire Elon Musk while being interviewed by Rogan on his show.

‘I think that’s probably the worst decision that the Supreme Court has ever made.’

Sanders got Rogan to agree that the U.S. has a “corrupt campaign finance system” and then went on to assail the Citizens United decision by the U.S. Supreme Court.

“What it says is, ‘You’re a billionaire. You have now the constitutional right because your money is your freedom of expression,’ right?” Sanders explained.

“So you don’t like Bernie Sanders. You can put millions or hundreds of millions of dollars into a campaign and express your view about how terrible Bernie Sanders is, and you can buy that election, right?” he added. “That’s your constitutional right.”

“Right,” Rogan said.

“I think that’s probably the worst decision that the Supreme Court has ever made. So what is the result of that decision?” Sanders said.

“The result of that decision, let’s take us to where we are today, is that Elon Musk, and I know Elon was on your show,” Sanders continued, “… He spent $270 million to elect Trump as president. I think that’s absurd, that any one person …”

“What’s the most someone donated towards the Harris campaign?” Rogan interjected.

“They spent a lot of money on Harris as well,” replied Sanders.

“They spent $1.5 billion just over the course of a couple of months,” Rogan responded.

“You got it!” Sanders said.

“I’m not here to say it’s just a Republican — that’s my point here.”

Rogan went on to ridicule the powers that would try to defeat any campaign financing reform, which delighted Sanders.

A video clip of the debate went viral on social media, with one post garnering more than 1.4 million views in a few hours.

Rogan has previously said that he was a supporter of Bernie Sanders as president, but he dropped a surprise endorsement for Trump in the last days before the 2024 election.

Progressives like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) — and even some Republicans, including Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) — are calling President Trump’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities unconstitutional because he didn’t get congressional approval. They point to Article I of the U.S. Constitution, which grants Congress the sole power to declare war, and the War Powers Resolution of 1973, which requires congressional authorization for prolonged or substantial military actions unless responding to an imminent attack, as evidence that his actions were unjustified.

AOC and Democratic Rep. Sean Casten (D-Ill.) have even gone so far as to claim that the strikes are an impeachable offense.

To get clarity on the issue, Glenn Beck brought in Gabriel Noronha, president of Polaris National Security and former State Department special adviser for Iran.

“Did the president need to have congressional permission before striking Iran over the weekend?” Glenn asks.

“No, he did not,” is Noronha’s candid answer.

“It would have been nice to have. It strengthens the president’s hand when he does have congressional authorization for the use of military force. But the Constitution grants him the powers as commander in chief to take all necessary actions, especially in a limited fashion like he just did,” he explains.

Glenn agrees, adding, “They never said anything about ISIS when he went after ISIS and shut them down, right? … Why all of a sudden is this one so different than all of the limited strikes we have seen from all of the presidents recently?”

Noronha reiterates Glenn’s frustration, pointing to “Libya 2011” as well as “ISIS 2014-15,” where “more intense” versions of the “the same scenario” played out, but “Democrats didn’t say anything” about needing congressional approval.

Why the sudden pearl-clutching?

“The reason here,” says Noronha, “is because they want to find something to attack President Trump for, but there’s nothing on the policy because [the strikes] went so well, so they’re going onto the legal crutch just because they don’t have anything else.”

Ironically, Congress has had multiple opportunities to prevent presidents from attacking Iran. Noronha, who was “in Congress for four years,” says he witnessed at least “a dozen” attempts to “strip the president of the ability to attack Iran,” and every single time, they failed.

“They always said, ‘No, we want the president to have the ability to strike Iran if and when it’s necessary,”’ he tells Glenn.

But when it comes to Donald Trump specifically, there’s always been a double standard.

“Congress is so radicalized now,” says Glenn. “They’re marching in the streets with people who are burning our cities to the ground.”
