Hasan Piker is the Left’s Flavor of the Month. Let that sink in.
Never mind his rageful rhetoric, from saying America deserved 9/11 to embracing political violence. That’s just the tip of the hateful iceberg.
Piker has expressed explicit support for U.S-designated terrorist organizations such as Hamas, the Houthis, Hezbollah and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) on numerous occasions. He has also falsely claimed that the well-documented sexual violence committed by Hamas and other terrorists on October 7, 2023 did not take place. Piker’s casual and frequent assertions of support for terrorist groups and the violence they commit normalize the use of violence to his millions of followers.
Progressives are looking past that, hoping Piker’s click-worthy shtick will boost their party’s chances in 2026 and beyond.
Ghoulish barely describes it, and we’re sure Stephen Colbert would have skewered Piker’s hateful commentary had his show not been canceled earlier this month.
Yet Adam Carolla and his “crystal brain” see right through Piker’s pose. The podcaster and Dr. Drew Pinsky shredded Piker’s shtick on “The Adam and Dr. Drew Show” podcast.
It wasn’t pretty. Just necessary.
They played audio of Piker slamming Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, one of the world’s wealthiest men. He didn’t earn it nor deserve that kind of wealth, Piker alleges. He simply got “lucky,” was in the right place at the right time and needed all his Amazon employees to make his wealth possible.
It’s dumb on the surface, and insipid upon rudimentary inspection. Yet Democrats like Rep. Ro Khanna, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani flock to Piker’s side to soak in his alleged wisdom.
And, presumably, to curry favor with people who embrace his unabashed hate. The Legacy Media, which is corrupt to the core, has yet to press any of these prominent figures about their Piker adoration.
“Embedded in here is a disdain for and a lack of understanding of ownership and, once you dig further, even property,” Dr. Pinsky said of Piker’s commentary. “You’re not supposed to have property.”
The podcasters noted that while Piker will call out folks like Bezos and Elon Musk, he’s far less vocal about other billionaires, think George Soros, Gov. J.B. Pritzker and wannabe California Gov. Tom Steyer.
Hmmmm.
“How does this reasoning figure into the money that Nancy Pelosi and AOC have … they have hundreds of millions of dollars, some of them,” Dr. Pinsky said. “Did they work hundreds of millions of times harder than the people who paid the taxes?”
“He continually leaves out his heroes,” Carolla answered, noting the partisan games in play.
Dr. Pinsky then called out Piker for his blatant hypocrisy.
“How does he explain the money he’s making, sitting behind a microphone?” Dr. Pinsky asked. Online estimates suggest Piker could be worth as much as $8 million. “Does he work a hundred times harder [than other people]?”
Carolla boiled it all down.
“I knew [Piker] was dangerous and I knew his rhetoric was s***, but I didn’t know he was a dope. This proves he’s a dope,” Carolla said. “These people are Communists who hate this country, that’s about it. They’re luxury Communists … they’re not living the life of a Communist.”
