Hasan Piker Implies the Left Owns James Talarico: ‘After He Wins, We Have to Remind Him We Allowed Him to Win This Seat’ (VIDEO)

Screencap of Twitter/X video.
Communist influencer Hasan Piker recently spoke about Texas Democrat James Talarico in an almost dismissive way, strongly suggesting that the radical left owns him, saying that if Talarico win, they will have to remind him that they ‘allowed’ him to win the seat.
If Piker is talking this way about Talarico, just imagine what he thinks about Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. Piker campaigned with him extensively.
This is a stunning moment captured on video. Talk about saying the quiet part out loud.
Watch:
Hasan Piker says he’ll make sure James Talarico follows his far-Left agenda if he becomes a Senator:
“After James Talarico wins…we have to remind him that…we are the force that allowed him to win this seat of power, and if he wants to maintain it he’s got to play ball.” pic.twitter.com/NjZu6n8LJ5
Ahead of his scheduled visit to Austin to speak with Texas Democrats, Hasan Piker said that America “is the top dog in terrorism,” and worse than Al-Qaeda.
Hasan Piker has repeatedly praised James Talarico’s radical agenda saying, “he is copying me.”
Talarico has remained silent on Piker’s trip to Texas, as well as his previous abhorrent comments saying that “America deserved 9/11” and that American Jews will be targeted for supporting Israel… will James finally condemn Piker now and demand he cancel his trip to Texas?
“James Talarico is refusing to condemn Hasan Piker because they champion the same socialist, anti-American agenda that is taking over the Democrat party,” said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Samantha Cantrell.
BREAKING: Christa Pike SURVIVES Two Lethal Injections, Witness Press Conference Interrupted by Ambulances (VIDEO)
September 30, 2026
Attorneys for Christa Pike said Wednesday night that Tennessee executioners administered two syringes of pentobarbital and that she was still alive and snoring inside Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville.
Media witnesses were already at a podium speaking at the press conference when an ambulance and other first responders pulled up in front of the prison.
Pike received medical care after the botched execution attempt, according to a court filing obtained by The Tennessean.
Reporters were ordered out of the witness room before anyone announced a time of death, so it is unclear if she is alive or dead.
Witnesses said she was alive for over an hour before they were ordered out of the room.

Tori Gessner, a journalist at WKRN who has witnessed multiple executions, said during the press conference, “Nothing about today was normal, typical, at all.”
Gessner quoted Pike as saying, “My arm feels like it’s about to burst open.”
Other witnesses said she looked around and asked whether the pain at he injection site was normal.
The blinds closed at 7:46 p.m. Witnesses said they could still hear her breathing when the blinds were closed.
Just 3 minutes later, the blinds were opened again. Pike was still breathing and began snoring, witnesses said.
The blinds closed again at 8:05 p.m. Witnesses said the breathing continued while the microphone was still on. Prison officials removed the witnesses from the room at 8:53 p.m. When the microphone cut off, witnesses could still hear her breathing.
Kelly Gleason, one of Pike’s lawyers, said she got the news from Randy Spivey, another attorney who had been in the chamber and stepped out to call, according to reports from The Tennessean.
“She’s alive and snoring,” Gleason said. She added that Pike needed immediate medical care.
One of the attorneys was driving an emergency motion to the Tennessee Supreme Court after the drugs had been administered.
State protocol allows a second set of backup drugs five minutes after the first.
The protocol does not say what happens if those fail.
The death warrant runs out at midnight.
Pike was originally set to be executed at 10 a.m.
Witnesses had gathered, but then the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a 2-1 stay about an hour before the injection, saying it needed time to weigh whether childhood rape and sexual abuse were fully considered at sentencing.
Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti asked the U.S. Supreme Court to lift it.
The high court vacated the stay just before 6 p.m. CT in a 6-3 order and said the execution could proceed before midnight.
Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented. Sotomayor wrote that the majority was clearing the way before it could properly consider pending challenges.
Pike, 50, is the only woman on Tennessee’s death row.
In January 1995, when she was 18, she and two other Job Corps students lured 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer onto the University of Tennessee agriculture campus in Knoxville.
Slemmer was beaten and cut to death. She had been slashed hundreds of times, and a pentagram was carved into her body.
Pike kept a piece of her skull.
Tadaryl Shipp, then 17, received a life sentence.
Shadolla Peterson testified and got probation.
Pike was meant to be the first woman Tennessee has executed in more than 200 years.
Gov. Bill Lee denied clemency Monday. “After deliberate consideration of Christa Gail Pike’s request for clemency, and after a thorough review of the case, I am upholding the sentence of the State of Tennessee and do not plan to intervene.”
May Martinez, Slemmer’s mother, came from Jacksonville to watch. She has called Pike’s mercy bid “complete baloney” and said she needs to see Pike gone so she does not fear she will “pop up somewhere.”
Tennessee corrections officials said they would try to use female officers to move her from the women’s prison and that an all-female team “may” be assigned.
Special Master Mark Ward noted plans to replace male staff overseeing her ahead of the execution with female staff. The state did not publicly guarantee that every person in the chamber tonight would be a woman.
Pike declined a last meal. She wrote that she was at peace and “only nervous about the process.”
As of the Tennessean’s 9:24 p.m. CT update, no official time of death had been announced.

Supposed ‘Independent’ Nebraska Senate Candidate Dan Osborn Has Allegedly Paid Family Members $500K From Campaign While Claiming Financial Hardship
September 30, 2026
U.S. Senate candidate Dan Osborn – Screencap of YouTube video.
He has used his campaign to claim that he and his family are suffering financial hardship, yet he has allegedly paid members of his family a cool $500,000 from his campaign.
You may have noticed that the liberal media is not touching any of this. Isn’t that interesting?
Senate hopeful’s ‘treading water’ narrative crumbles under $500K campaign payouts to family
Independent Senate candidate Dan Osborn repeatedly said his family is “treading water” financially because of rising grocery and gas prices last week, but federal campaign finance records show his campaign has paid more than $500,000 to members of his family since launching his Senate bid.
Speaking at a Capitol Hill press conference on Sept. 24, Osborn said, “My family, we’re treading water here, and it feels like every day it’s hard to keep your head above water” because of the economy and rising grocery and gas prices.
Later that day, during an NBC News interview, he made nearly identical remarks, again describing his family as “treading water.”
Americans for Public Trust, a government ethics watchdog that has previously scrutinized Osborn’s campaign spending, estimates Osborn and members of his family received nearly $480,000 from his campaign and affiliated PACs through the first quarter of 2026. The organization told Fox News Digital that figure does not include additional campaign spending disclosed in Osborn’s second-quarter filing, which was filed in July. Fox News Digital’s review of that filing found additional payments to family members that pushed the total above $500,000.
The largest share of those payments went to Osborn’s wife, Megan Osborn, who has worked for the campaign since its launch.
Here’s hoping the people of Nebraska see this before November.
FAMILY CORRUPTION SCHEME
Fake independent Dan Osborn has used his liberal campaign donations to pay himself, his wife, and his daughter OVER $500,000.
Harvard Harris Poll Shows Republicans and Democrats Dead Even on Generic Ballot Just a Month Before Midterms
September 30, 2026
Republicans and Democrats are dead even on the generic ballot, according to the Harvard Harris poll. This is horrible news for Democrats.
For months now, we have heard that Democrats are going to mop the floor with the GOP in the midterms, but 2026 is not an ordinary midterm year.
This year, the country met the new Democrats of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and learned about all of their positively insane and anti-American plans for the country. People seem to understand the threat that these people pose to America as we know it.
No one knows what is going to happen in November, but a blue wave seems less likely now.
Harvard Harris Poll Continues to Show Even Midterm Generic Ballot
The monthly Harvard Harris Poll of voters across the United States continues to show Democrat and Republican support at near-identical levels just over a month from November’s midterm election.
Among all registered voters in the poll, the parties are split at 50-50 when asked if they would be more likely to vote for a Democrat or Republican candidate for Congress. Democrats take a slight 51-49 percent lead among likely voters.
Fifty percent of voters say their minds are already made up about who to vote for and two thirds say they expect to vote a straight-party ticket. Fifty-nine percent of those supporting Democrats say they have definitely made up their minds, and 58 percent of Republicans say the same. Just 33 percent of independent-leaning voters say their minds are made up, with 26 percent saying they are leaning in one direction and 24 percent said they have not decided.
Another question asked voters how important voting in the midterm election is, and again showed similar levels, with 63 percent of Democrats saying it is extremely important and 62 percent of Republicans saying the same.
Of course, nothing is guaranteed.
Conservatives, right-leaning independents and disaffected Democrats must still get out an vote in November.
But if this poll is even close to accurate, things might not be as bad as Democrats and the media were hoping.
Immigration to America From Muslim-Majority Countries Drops to All-Time Low on Trump’s Watch
September 30, 2026

In Trump’s second term, immigration from Muslim countries has not just dropped to an all-time low, it is down a stunning 90+ percent.
This is one of those stories that will cause a huge response from both sides. Leftists will see this as confirmation of their false belief that Trump is some kind of racist. People on the right are likely to say something like, this is what I voted for.
Many conservatives have wondered for years why the United States seemed to prioritize bringing people from Muslim countries into the United States after 9/11. Critics point out that Muslim immigrants and refugees have a very poor record on assimilation.
The White House says it has reduced legalized migration from Muslim-majority nations by more than 90 percent.
The cutbacks are a huge setback to the progressive policy of importing diverse migrants to help fragment the civic rules that ordinary Americans have created to manage their neighborhoods, schools, and society.
The policy shift also reduces the growth of antisemitic communities in U.S. society, said Noah Pollak, a Trump deputy in the Department of the Treasury and the Department of Education. “This is the single most consequential policy to combat antisemitism in the US in the last decade and it’s not even close,” he wrote on X.
Online, the political right cheered the drastic shift.
“Absolutely incredible victory for the American people, thanks to POTUS,” Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, said.
“These are the wins we need to continue to deliver on,” said Brandon Herrera, the GOP nominee for Congress in Texas’ 23rd District.
“4 percent to go! Thank you, President Trump,” said Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla.
“Let’s pump up those rookie numbers for every category of immigrant,” columnist Kurt Schlichter said.
Some turned the graph into a referendum on the results of Republican leadership, and urged conservatives to vote during the 2026 midterm elections despite concerns about cost-of-living, the Iran war, and other issues for which Trump has been knocked by members of his own party.
“I voted for this—and will again,” said user David Harrison.
“The next time you get the urge to ‘punish the GOP.’ Remember that Democrats will reverse this overnight,” said Turning Point Action’s Ben Larrabee.
Coming to America means committing to America: our Constitution, our laws, our freedoms.
Tougher vetting under @POTUS Trump has cut admissions from high-risk countries by 96%. We owe Americans nothing less than knowing exactly who we let in. https://t.co/yFIpQRwNHs
