=== Democrats Face Midterm Pitfalls (03:42) ===

[00:03:02]  It is officially midterm season, everybody, and Democrats, they're actually polling decently, and there's concern Republicans are going to lose.
[00:03:10]  Surprisingly, there is concern considering this is the historical trend.
[00:03:13]  A president gets elected, then the opposition party takes the House.
[00:03:16]  However, Democrats actually have some pitfalls this time around.
[00:03:19]  Notably, their favorability is at a historic low, even when they should be trending upwards, and they have a big thorn in their side with everyone's favorite leftist streamer, Hassan Piker.
[00:03:31]  Now, whatever you think of the guy, Democrats are in trouble because he's splitting the party.
[00:03:35]  He recently went on the New York Times podcast, The Opinions, and said that theft and murder are okay and that he would steal if he could get away with it.
[00:03:44]  And the hosts laugh and they enjoy it.
[00:03:48]  I think Democrats are in big trouble because you're going to get a bunch of middle of the road people who maybe don't like Donald Trump, but don't want to be party to whatever that is, where you have crime, you have street takeovers.
[00:04:01]  These are the things that people favor Republicans for.
[00:04:04]  So as we kick into high gear in midterm season, We'll, of course, be talking a lot about polls and all this stuff.
[00:04:10]  To be fair, just slow news day, to be completely honest.
[00:04:13]  I think, like, the big story that everyone's leading with is the SPLC still, which, okay, they suck.
[00:04:19]  And, you know, Donald Trump ragged on them.
[00:04:21]  So we can go with that as well.
[00:04:23]  I'm actually more excited to talk about this.
[00:04:25]  There's a story from Newsweek Chinese scientists are also disappearing.
[00:04:29]  So we've got this story in the U.S.
[00:04:31]  Now, I will say, The Atlantic put out this piece saying that you are dumb for following the scientist conspiracy.
[00:04:38]  They're saying, eh, Some old retired guy disappeared, and you're all dumb for thinking so.
[00:04:43]  Yeah, well, it's happening also in China.
[00:04:46]  And the important thing to understand is I got some sources for you.
[00:04:48]  This has happened several times in the past.
[00:04:51]  Iranian nuclear scientists getting killed or going missing.
[00:04:55]  We have stories in the 80s, we have Cold War stories.
[00:04:58]  It is common in conflict for rival nations and adversaries to take out their principal thinkers and researchers.
[00:05:05]  Maybe that's the case, but I'm going to squeeze in a little extra thing here.
[00:05:08]  There's a nuclear propulsion researcher who was found dead.
[00:05:11]  His Tesla crashed.
[00:05:13]  His body was charred and unrecognizable.
[00:05:16]  You know why that story is weird?
[00:05:17]  He left his phone and wallet at home.
[00:05:19]  And do you know why that's weird?
[00:05:21]  Your phone is the key to your Tesla.
[00:05:24]  So, as a Tesla driver myself, when I read that, I said, Oh, makes sense.
[00:05:27]  Sure, I mean, you have key cards, but I don't know a single Tesla driver who leaves their phone behind and then goes and drives their car when you use your phone as a key.
[00:05:37]  It's a weird story.
[00:05:38]  So, we'll get into all that stuff.
[00:05:39]  Before we do, we got a great sponsor.
[00:05:41]  It's Pocket Hose, my friends.
[00:05:43]  Talk about one of the best little utilities you can get.
[00:05:45]  It's a hose.
[00:05:46]  That shrinks when you're not using it.
[00:05:47]  Pocket Hose is the number one expandable hose in the world.
[00:05:50]  Super lightweight, easy to manage, easy to store.
[00:05:53]  You turn the water on and it grows.
[00:05:55]  You turn the water off and it shrinks.
[00:05:56]  Look at that.
[00:05:57]  The Pocket Hose ballistic is reinforced with a liquid crystal polymer used in bulletproof vests.
[00:06:04]  Wow, that's a good hose, making the anti burst sleeve practically bulletproof.
[00:06:09]  And that liquid crystal polymer fiber is actually five times stronger than steel.
[00:06:13]  Comes with the pocket pivot, which gives you total freedom of movement at the spigot.
[00:06:17]  With 360 degrees rotation, you move, it follows, and the water flows.
[00:06:21]  Enhanced with an upgraded UV coating so the hose looks new year after year.
[00:06:27]  Re engineered thicker washers that resist leaks.
[00:06:32]  Pocket hose carries over 100 patents worldwide.
[00:06:34]  Wow.
[00:06:35]  And now, for a limited time, when you purchase a new pocket hose ballistic, you get a free 360 degree rotating pocket pivot and a free thumb drive nozzle.

[00:06:58]  And man, that sounds like a crazy hose.
[00:07:01]  Shout out.
[00:07:02]  Thanks for sponsoring the show, guys.
[00:07:03]  I'm also really happy to just say it's like the best sponsor.
[00:07:07]  I have no disrespect to all the other sponsors, but can you get like more general interest sponsorship than that?
[00:07:13]  I mean, typically when you have like a right wing podcast or a conservative podcast, their sponsorship is like Patriot Water, you know, or some like really niche brand that's only used by Alex Jones.
[00:07:24]  No, Pocket Hose is legit.

[00:07:42]  Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is Randy Fine.
[00:07:45]  How are you?
[00:07:46]  Thanks for having me.
[00:07:47]  Who are you?
[00:07:48]  What do you do?
[00:07:48]  Well, I'm a congressman from the 6th Congressional District of Florida.
[00:07:51]  I don't represent Orlando, I don't represent Jacksonville, but I represent just about everything in between.
[00:07:56]  I've been in Congress for about a year.
[00:07:58]  Before that, I was a state legislator.
[00:07:59]  Started off as an entrepreneur, spent 22 years as a businessman, and got into the state legislature after I retired.
[00:08:06]  Did that for eight years.
[00:08:07]  And then two weeks after I won an election to the state Senate, President Trump asked me to run for Congress.
[00:08:12]  And so I've been doing that for the last year.
[00:08:14]  Came in, was the first Republican to win a special election after President Trump became president.
[00:08:18]  I've been there for a year and have seen the good and the bad.
[00:08:21]  And I will tell you, as bad as I thought Washington would be, it's a whole lot worse.
[00:08:25]  We've got a country to save, and there's a lot we can talk about.
[00:08:27]  And aliens, too, right?
[00:08:29]  You can tell us.
[00:08:29]  Well, you know, I can't talk about the classified things that I learned, but it is extraordinary.
[00:08:33]  You get elected to Congress, and all of a sudden you can say, show me the JFK stuff, show me the aliens.
[00:08:38]  You're allowed to see all the classified stuff.
[00:08:40]  Can't tell you what's in it, but I can tell you I can read it.
[00:08:42]  We asked George Santos, Did you believe in aliens before entering Congress?
[00:08:46]  And he said, No.
[00:08:47]  And then we asked, Did you believe in aliens after leaving Congress?
[00:08:50]  And he said, Yes.
[00:08:51]  Well, given some of the people I serve with, I should believe in aliens.
[00:08:54]  So I think some of them may come from other planets.
[00:08:57]  Right.
[00:08:57]  It's going to be fun.
[00:08:58]  Thanks for hanging out.
[00:08:59]  Lydia Moynihan is back.
[00:09:00]  Great to be here.
[00:09:02]  You got to grab your mic.
[00:09:03]  I'm pointing to the microphone.
[00:09:04]  Oh, you have to talk into this.
[00:09:06]  Is that the thing?
[00:09:08]  Yeah, it's a little bit.
[00:09:08]  What do I need this for?
[00:09:09]  No, I can just learn to sign, which is very helpful for an audio communication.
[00:09:15]  Are you going to ask who I am?
[00:09:16]  Because that is a question that's plagued me.
[00:09:18]  No, I don't care.
[00:09:18]  It's plagued me.
[00:09:19]  Yeah, who are you?
[00:09:19]  What do you do?
[00:09:19]  For many years.
[00:09:20]  I am a columnist at the New York Post.
[00:09:23]  I write a lot about business, technology, politics, do a lot of interviews, especially highlighting innovation and how it's shaping the world we live in.

=== Whole Foods Funding Controversy (15:51) ===

[00:09:31]  Right on.
[00:09:31]  It's going to be fun.
[00:09:32]  We got Ian's hanging out.
[00:09:34]  Everybody, good to be here.
[00:09:35]  Yeah, Carter's pressing the buttons.
[00:09:36]  What's up?
[00:09:36]  Also, Libby's here.
[00:09:38]  Libby is here as well.
[00:09:39]  I'm Libby Emmons with the Post Millennial.
[00:09:40]  Glad to be here.
[00:09:41]  It's a packed house.
[00:09:42]  Let's get into the news.
[00:09:43]  Let's get to culture warrior and political.
[00:09:45]  We've got this from the New York Post.
[00:09:46]  Democrats' favorite podcaster, Hassan Piker, says stealing and murder are okay.
[00:09:52]  Uh huh.
[00:09:52]  And you know, the New York Post is jumping on this story because it's painful for Democrats.
[00:09:58]  They say at the height of the 2020 riots, a book was published entitled In Defense of Looting.
[00:10:03]  At the time, I think this is Douglas Murray wrote this.
[00:10:06]  At the time, I asked a bookshop in New York, which was prominently displaying the work, whether I could walk out with the book without paying.
[00:10:12]  I was told not.
[00:10:13]  That's a great line.
[00:10:15]  But a friend did download and publish the work for free online before being served a copyright notice by the pro looting books publisher.
[00:10:21]  Some of us had hoped the madness of that summer had gone away, but this week we got a good reminder that for a part of the left, the question of whether or not it's right to steal is still being mulled over.
[00:10:30]  Well, I'm going to play this clip for you that's been going viral with 7.7 million views.
[00:10:36]  Guys, just make Hassan the leader of the Democratic Party.
[00:10:40]  I'm not even playing.
[00:10:41]  He represents the left perfectly.
[00:10:44]  There's a reason why he's the biggest left wing streamer.
[00:10:46]  The Democratic Party that we know is long gone.
[00:10:49]  It's the people that are holding it together that are more moderate, they're old.
[00:10:53]  Hassan represents the young left.
[00:10:56]  And I also represent people who forget to unmute tabs.
[00:10:59]  Social murder.
[00:11:00]  Here we go.
[00:11:01]  Engels wrote about the concept of social murder.
[00:11:06]  And Brian Thompson, as the United Healthcare CEO, was engaging in a tremendous amount of social murder.
[00:11:15]  The systematized forms of violence, the structural violence of poverty, the for profit, paywalled. System of healthcare in this country.
[00:11:29]  And the consequences of that are tremendous amounts of pain, tremendous amounts of violence, tremendous amounts of deaths.
[00:11:37]  And that was a fascinating story for me because Americans are very draconian about crime and punishment.
[00:11:45]  They're very black and white on this issue.
[00:11:47]  And yet, because of the pervasive pain that the private healthcare system Had created for the average American, I saw so many people immediately understand why this death had taken place.
[00:12:06]  Let's play this next clip where he talks about how stealing is a good thing.
[00:12:09]  Here you go.
[00:12:10]  People are engaging in a currency scheme that people are engaging in.
[00:12:15]  Would you steal from Whole Foods?
[00:12:17]  You want to go first?
[00:12:18]  Well, I'm pro stealing from big corporations because, you know, they steal quite a bit more from their own workers.
[00:12:29]  However, one thing that might even help your ethical dilemma is the fact that the automated process that they design, these companies know will increase shrink, right?
[00:12:45]  So it's actually factored in.
[00:12:47]  The lemons that you stole are factored into the bottom line of these mega corporations, regardless, and they still end up having increased profit margins because they no longer have to pay the cashiers that they used to hire as opposed to this automated system, knowing full well that people are.
[00:13:04]  Still going to be able to steal, still steal a lot more efficiently, as a matter of fact, through the automated process.
[00:13:10]  Totally.
[00:13:11]  Well, I also was looking at things like this, and shrinkage is roughly equal internally as externally.
[00:13:16]  Like they expect it from their employees that they are sort of.
[00:13:19]  I hate these.
[00:13:20]  I'm sorry.
[00:13:20]  I, you know, when I was younger, I didn't want to hate anybody, but I absolutely hate these people.
[00:13:25]  I just, I just, I hate.
[00:13:26]  So next time some left, it goes, why are you spreading so much hate?
[00:13:29]  I'll be like, because I hate you.
[00:13:30]  So you see where they're sitting though, right?
[00:13:32]  You see that setup, the perfect chairs, massive space.
[00:13:37]  In New York City, I mean, why don't they have 25,000 homeless people just living in there with them?
[00:13:42]  Why aren't they giving away everything that they have?
[00:13:44]  Why aren't they inviting everybody in to steal their stuff?
[00:13:46]  Because they're hypocritical communists.
[00:13:48]  Exactly.
[00:13:48]  They're hypocritical and live in multi million dollar homes.
[00:13:52]  What that is was a giant word salad of big words that I'm not sure they even understand what they mean.
[00:13:58]  And look, you just got to pull back the varnish.
[00:14:00]  These people are communists.
[00:14:02]  That's what they are.
[00:14:03]  He's saying you should be able to take what you want from the store.
[00:14:08]  Because everything should be communal.
[00:14:10]  He says, I don't like the idea of private health care because everything should be communal.
[00:14:16]  If anything, we should appreciate that they're pulling the varnish off and they're telling us who Democrats are.
[00:14:21]  They want a return to the Soviet Union.
[00:14:24]  This time, they want it in the United States.
[00:14:26]  And I think guys like that make that very clear.
[00:14:28]  I just can't stand communists.
[00:14:30]  Like he said, what do you say?
[00:14:31]  The structural violence of poverty.
[00:14:34]  To be fair, it's word salad because he wants it to sound.
[00:14:37]  Instead of just saying it sucks to be poor, he has to make it something about how it's your fault you're poor.
[00:14:43]  And I like to stress to these communists the existence of luxury is not oppressing you.
[00:14:49]  A guy who flies around in a gyrocopter over your property, well, over your property maybe is a problem, but if I see a dude who owns a gyrocopter flying over the river, which they do, I'm not saying I'm being oppressed because he won't let me fly his gyrocopter.
[00:15:04]  A guy over there has a thing he's allowed to have.
[00:15:07]  In Hassan's mind, if someone has something and they don't give it to you, they are oppressing you.
[00:15:13]  To be fair, if he is cognizant of why that is theft, then I got to give it to him because he's basically just saying, as a barbarian, he will take whatever he wants and no one can stop him.
[00:15:26]  Well, and they are.
[00:15:26]  At least he's right about that, I guess.
[00:15:27]  They don't mean for themselves either, right?
[00:15:30]  Like they think that they can do all of these things.
[00:15:32]  They could steal if they want to, but they don't mean.
[00:15:34]  They should be stolen from.
[00:15:35]  It's like Douglas Murray points out in that book and in the, in the column.
[00:15:39]  And then the other thing too is AOC was saying in the summer of 2020 that, um, you know, shoplifting is okay.
[00:15:45]  You had people saying looting is reparations.
[00:15:48]  And you can't forget that these Democrat communist progressives on the left are, uh, you know, have been backing the SPLC, which had to gin up hate in order to get donations so that they could fight that very hate.
[00:16:04]  And meanwhile, they're cozying up to really hateful people like Hassan Piker.
[00:16:08]  It is ideologically consistent, though.
[00:16:10]  Sure.
[00:16:11]  They're advocating shoplifting.
[00:16:12]  And I think it kind of is helpful because this is such a great soundbite for Republicans adding into the midterms to highlight the absurdity of it.
[00:16:20]  Because a lot of times when people talk about socialism, it's all very theoretical.
[00:16:24]  But that, of course, is the natural end of these policies.
[00:16:28]  You think that you are entitled to something that somebody else has.
[00:16:32]  So they're just putting it out there for exactly what it is.
[00:16:37]  And we can tell people that when they have to push a button, In the drugstore to have someone come unlock the case so they can get a tube of toothpaste.
[00:16:45]  This is why.
[00:16:46]  I mean, look, what they're saying is they don't believe in private property.
[00:16:50]  That's fundamentally what it is.
[00:16:52]  It's okay to steal because everything is yours anyway.
[00:16:56]  They believe in natural private property.
[00:16:58]  Well, we're all equal.
[00:16:59]  Some of us are just more equal than others.
[00:17:00]  I just kind of had an epiphany.
[00:17:02]  I agree with Hassan Piker, at least on Whole Foods, because Whole Foods historically, my understanding is I just did a double check on this, has contributed to progressive and liberal causes as well as their employees overwhelmingly don't.
[00:17:14]  Donate to progressives and leftists.
[00:17:18]  So, the first thing I thought when he said, you know, they automate these systems and shrinkages factor in, he is correct.
[00:17:24]  That means when Amazon opened their first store that was fully automated, you walk in, grab whatever you want, walk out.
[00:17:31]  I actually did a penetration test, we called it.
[00:17:34]  I broke their security.
[00:17:35]  I was able to leave.
[00:17:36]  I was able to take a bag full of groceries and leave without paying for it.
[00:17:40]  Full disclosure, we did pay for it, but I was able to break the system, alert them as to how we did it.
[00:17:47]  And they told me explicitly the amount of money they save on human labor is so much, they actually don't care about theft.
[00:17:56]  And so I'm thinking about that, and he's correct, but my problem with that is I have to pay a higher price for my milk because people like him steal.
[00:18:06]  And then I thought about it, and I was like, well, hold on.
[00:18:08]  If Whole Foods supports his politics, then why should I be the sucker?
[00:18:14]  Paying for stuff that Whole Foods doesn't want me to pay for.
[00:18:17]  Like, my point is this if Whole Foods is funding progressives who say to steal from them, they may as well put up a big sign saying, No, actually, we want you to steal.
[00:18:24]  Only the suckers pay.
[00:18:25]  In which case, to the employees who work there and donate, when you get fired because they can't make any money anymore, well, that's what you asked for.
[00:18:32]  So thank you and have a nice day.
[00:18:33]  Well, isn't everyone who follows the law at this point basically a sucker?
[00:18:36]  Yes.
[00:18:36]  You know, I mean, if you look at New York City too, you have Mamdani talking about how he's essentially going to tax wealthier, whiter neighborhoods in order to, you know, help the people who.
[00:18:47]  Have worse concerns or whatever.
[00:18:48]  I'm okay with that too.
[00:18:50]  You're okay with it?
[00:18:51]  Yeah, because they're all white.
[00:18:52]  Because they're not like conservative white people.
[00:18:56]  They're affluent white female liberals.
[00:18:57]  They voted for this.
[00:18:58]  They did vote for this.
[00:18:59]  Yeah, they're not taxing me.
[00:19:00]  So I'm kidding, by the way.
[00:19:01]  I think it's a horrible policy.
[00:19:03]  I'm saying they're suckers for going along with it and for doing it.
[00:19:05]  I mean, you saw Ken Griffin, right?
[00:19:07]  Like Mamdani called out Ken Griffin's penthouse.
[00:19:10]  And now Ken Griffin's like, you know what?
[00:19:12]  Maybe I'll just pull my $6 billion project from New York City.
[00:19:15]  He should.
[00:19:16]  Yes, he should, right?
[00:19:16]  He's not going to.
[00:19:18]  No, but he ought to.
[00:19:18]  He said he might, but like.
[00:19:20]  He already has shifted a significant amount of his operation.
[00:19:22]  Oh, that's good.
[00:19:23]  He's not going to Florida.
[00:19:25]  Well, he shifted his head out entirely.
[00:19:25]  No, these guys don't live in the real world.
[00:19:27]  That's part of the problem.
[00:19:29]  They live in a world of sunshine, rainbows, pixie dust, and unicorns.
[00:19:32]  None of the policies they talk about actually make any sense.
[00:19:35]  And that's why you see New York being hollowed out.
[00:19:36]  And the only thing that's growing there is apparently urinating in the street because that's gone up 50% since he took over.
[00:19:42]  Because everyone is high.
[00:19:43]  There's a Far Side comic.
[00:19:46]  It's from the early 90s, I think.
[00:19:48]  Gary Larson, was that his name?
[00:19:51]  Yeah.
[00:19:52]  And it's two parents watching their kid play Mario.
[00:19:56]  And they're smiling and going like this.
[00:19:58]  And in their thought bubble, they're looking at a job listing saying, job needed Super Mario Brothers player $20,000 a year, looking for expert Mario Brothers player.
[00:20:08]  The joke at the time was that you would never get a job playing video games.
[00:20:12]  Well, as we know now, You can get a lot of money playing video games for a living.
[00:20:16]  My point is, maybe what they can do in New York is turn urinating into the street into some kind of entertainment that people will pay money to watch.
[00:20:26]  And just like video games, you can make something enjoyable, at least for the people of New York, and turn it into a lucrative business.
[00:20:33]  Well, you'd need Scott Wiener from California who likes to go to the Folsom Street Fair and watch men urinating on each other in kiddie pools.
[00:20:43]  So that is a thing.
[00:20:44]  I mean, they have it in San Francisco, so we should just bring it to New York.
[00:20:47]  And then everybody's happy.
[00:20:48]  Well, they will.
[00:20:49]  But you did see Sean Duffy say that the FAA was specifically hiring gamers.
[00:20:53]  And they had a record hire.
[00:20:55]  Air traffic controllers.
[00:20:56]  Yeah, it was like 8,000 applied and like 7,400 were qualified for this.
[00:21:00]  Yeah, they got good hand-eye coordination.
[00:21:02]  You remember?
[00:21:02]  For sure.
[00:21:02]  I told my son, I was like, hey, look at that.
[00:21:06]  Stop reading, play more video games.
[00:21:08]  Well, in the future, flying.
[00:21:09]  I don't have to tell him.
[00:21:10]  He's doing it in Arizona.
[00:21:12]  I list for like 747s, I should have PlayStation controllers.
[00:21:15]  They're going to be like, well, I've been doing this my whole life.
[00:21:17]  I mean, whatever this thing is, I don't need it.
[00:21:18]  I just use a controller.
[00:21:20]  Just going back, though, to.
[00:21:22]  This idea of that.
[00:21:23]  I mean, the entire reason that we have government in the first place, if you think back to Leviathan and some of these early political philosophers, the only reason that we have a social contract with the government is to protect private property.
[00:21:37]  That's literally it.
[00:21:39]  It's the idea that we cede some of our freedom to an organization that's supposed to protect us and keep us safe and we pay taxes.
[00:21:48]  And that's how government has evolved.
[00:21:50]  That's the only reason.
[00:21:52]  That people have agreed to part with some of their freedom to have a government.
[00:21:57]  And so, what they're suggesting completely undermines all of Western civilization, completely undermines the social contract that we have with our government.
[00:22:08]  If private property is no longer going to be protected, what are we doing here?
[00:22:13]  I completely undermine it.
[00:22:15]  The corporatocracy is concerning the Chinese billionaires buying American farmland, it is legal, but at some point, you may want to seize that property from the Chinese because the American citizen comes first in America.
[00:22:27]  I'm not talking about that's because they're buying in military bases.
[00:22:29]  Well, what happened in grocery stores?
[00:22:31]  If you go to certain parts of the country and you've seen this where they allow crime to run free, and your example, when everyone thinks they can go and steal the stuff out of the grocery store, guess what happens to the grocery store?
[00:22:40]  It closes and they leave.
[00:22:42]  It doesn't even go out of business.
[00:22:43]  They just shut it and say, we're out of here.
[00:22:44]  And then the Democrats demand that they actually stay and operate it.
[00:22:48]  And then you end up with Mom Dhani opening a $30 million supermarket, which is going to be, by the way, much more expensive per square foot than the Whole Foods that regular people can't afford to shop at.
[00:22:57]  That's like $27 million.
[00:22:58]  None of this makes any sense in the real world.
[00:23:00]  Think about what's going to happen to this Mom Dhani government grocery store.
[00:23:03]  People are going to steal everything.
[00:23:05]  And the government worker is going to be sitting there.
[00:23:06]  She's going to be filing her nails, and the guy's going to grab a big.
[00:23:08]  She's like, I'm not, I don't care.
[00:23:09]  We had government grocery stores.
[00:23:11]  They had the minimum wage.
[00:23:12]  I'm not doing anything.
[00:23:13]  They had the dollar minimum wage.
[00:23:15]  Isn't it that?
[00:23:15]  Isn't it people who were trying to get snow out of the streets with shovels?
[00:23:19]  They were paid $40 plus an hour.
[00:23:22]  Wow.
[00:23:23]  Their incentive, of course, was to stay on the job as long as possible.
[00:23:26]  They didn't do it, though, right?
[00:23:27]  Shovel is a little snow because they had to collect a check.
[00:23:30]  I think, you know, we got this article from the New York Times.
[00:23:33]  This is why there's no liberal Joe Rogan.
[00:23:36]  It used to be titled, Hassan Piker is not the enemy or something like that.
[00:23:39]  And I just look at this picture of all these people gathering around Hassan Piker, and I'm just like, I think the collective IQ of this whole group is maybe like 400.
[00:23:46]  Well, you know, Hassan's issue, I think his issue, I don't want to put it all Hassan's, by the way, is that his IQ is just through the roof.
[00:23:53]  Is that he doesn't like people?
[00:23:54]  I think he kind of has a lot of anger.
[00:23:56]  Rogan doesn't have anger towards him.
[00:23:57]  He beats it out in the gym.
[00:23:58]  I mean, Hassan might not be hateful.
[00:24:01]  I don't think he's really, I don't know.
[00:24:02]  He just seems like he's like pissed off a lot and like willing to say horrific things.
[00:24:07]  I mean, we're pissed off.
[00:24:08]  Rogan is not going to touch.
[00:24:09]  I'm not going to rag on Hassan for complaining about stuff.
[00:24:12]  And being angry because we're angry and complain all the time as well.
[00:24:14]  I mean, I would be.
[00:24:15]  My bigger concern is that he's a liar.
[00:24:18]  Well, his whole shtick is a lie.
[00:24:20]  He is someone, and this is part of the problem in America today.
[00:24:23]  He's from Turkey.
[00:24:24]  His parents were from Turkey.
[00:24:25]  They came to the United States so that they could have him.
[00:24:28]  He became a birthright citizen.
[00:24:30]  As soon as he was born, they took him back to Turkey.
[00:24:32]  He grew up there, and then he comes back here, and he's just as American, supposedly, as the rest of us.
[00:24:38]  Someone who's not inculcated in our values and what it's like to be an American, now the sun's going to lecture us on what our country should be like.
[00:24:45]  My argument is that.
[00:24:47]  The process of birth tourism is immigration fraud.
[00:24:50]  It is.
[00:24:51]  And according to the Immigration and Naturalization Act, someone who obtains citizenship through fraud can be denaturalized and deported.
[00:25:01]  And should, as your accusation pans out to be, following an investigation into what his parents did, should it turn out to have been fraudulent, he should be stripped of citizenship and deported back to Turkey.
[00:25:11]  10% of people born in the United States this year are this exact situation.
[00:25:16]  They're born to people who shouldn't even be here.
[00:25:18]  This is a real problem because now they're just as American as you and I. Apparently.

=== Birth Tourism Immigration Fraud (15:02) ===

[00:25:22]  Yeah.
[00:25:22]  But he said he doesn't have an ounce of patriotism.
[00:25:25]  There's no love for this country.
[00:25:27]  What I truly don't understand is why do all of these people who hate us, who hate our values, who hate the American project, who hate the history, why do they all come?
[00:25:37]  And we saw this before.
[00:25:38]  They're not against states.
[00:25:40]  They're against all of their kids' arguments.
[00:25:43]  Are you familiar with the Trojan horse?
[00:25:44]  Yeah.
[00:25:44]  Why did the soldiers go inside and try and get into the enemy's fortress?
[00:25:46]  Well, they wanted to kill everybody.
[00:25:48]  It is also part of the.
[00:25:50]  It's like if you look in the Quran, which I haven't read, But which one of my columnists worked on a few years ago, and I read all of her stories.
[00:25:56]  Anyway, she was telling me that the first part of jihad is to become part of a society, to assimilate into it if you're not in the majority, to take what you can, to take up a victim status, and then to slowly gain everybody's trust as you gain political power.
[00:26:12]  And one thing that's interesting about the Islamic immigrants from, you know, Arabia and North Africa is unlike the traditional immigrant experience where people wait until they gain political power, you know, like the Irish, the Italians, you know, Jews, like, It's like a couple generations before you start getting involved in the political apparatus of your community.
[00:26:33]  You'll see first generation Somalis like Elhan Omar getting involved in politics right there, right all of a sudden.
[00:26:41]  And that is a different thing than we've previously seen.
[00:26:44]  And it makes you start to think maybe you weren't in some sort of crazy survival situation where you needed to hurry up and go somewhere else and establish a new life and get your feet back under you and get your whole thing together.
[00:26:57]  Maybe you have a plan of what you want to do.
[00:27:00]  I don't know.
[00:27:00]  I mean,.
[00:27:01]  I think there's no question that's what's going on with a lot of this stuff.
[00:27:04]  You think that's like the reality?
[00:27:05]  They're here to destroy.
[00:27:06]  In many of these cases, they were not the refugees.
[00:27:09]  Ilhan Omar's father was one of the people doing the bad things in Somalia.
[00:27:13]  They were fleeing from him, not the other way around.
[00:27:16]  And that's the case with many of these people.
[00:27:18]  Or her brother, you know.
[00:27:19]  Oh, yeah.
[00:27:20]  But many of these people, Hassan Piker was not some poor person who needed to come to America for opportunity.
[00:27:26]  His parents were wealthy.
[00:27:27]  They came here.
[00:27:28]  They have pictures of him with ponies.
[00:27:29]  Yeah, they're wealthy.
[00:27:30]  So this all is a fraud.
[00:27:33]  It all is a scam.
[00:27:34]  And they are here.
[00:27:36]  They do hate America and they're here to destroy America.
[00:27:39]  That is the goal.
[00:27:40]  I align with the idea, the concern that the corporatocracy is going to buy us out and make us a permanent rental class.
[00:27:47]  And I think that I align with the leftist communists.
[00:27:50]  They want to stop that too, but their methodology is to use violent force sometimes.
[00:27:56]  And I'm open to the government seizing property if it was Chinese bought American farmland.
[00:28:04]  That's arguably communist to use the government to seize private property.
[00:28:08]  But by the way, in those cases, it's called eminent domain.
[00:28:12]  They actually give them the market value of it.
[00:28:14]  They don't just take it.
[00:28:15]  And we do that all the time.
[00:28:16]  If they want to expand the road out in front of here, the government can seize the property in order to expand the road, but then they have to give you the market price to do it.
[00:28:23]  That's been something that's been around for a long time.
[00:28:26]  I think the challenge here is what does it mean to be an American?
[00:28:31]  And what is our culture?
[00:28:32]  And are we going to be able to do these things?
[00:28:34]  You talk about the corporatocracy.
[00:28:36]  Oh, wow.
[00:28:36]  It's the creation of wealth and companies that's made America America.
[00:28:40]  All these great technologies that we're talking about, it was some entrepreneur that came up.
[00:28:43]  With that hose that you were talking about earlier, and probably came up with the idea in America because we create all the innovations in the world.
[00:28:50]  I just, you know, asked the robot, and it says that incest is fairly common in Somalia.
[00:28:54]  Around 49% of Somalis are the product of first or second cousin marriages.
[00:28:59]  Well, you saw what Keir Starmer just recently said in the UK.
[00:29:02]  He married his cousin?
[00:29:03]  No, but he did say that they should remove the bias against first cousin marriage.
[00:29:10]  By the way, in West Virginia, when you try to get married, Uh, because my wife and I we got married, and uh, duh, they go, Are you related to each other?
[00:29:19]  And we were like, What?
[00:29:20]  No, do you ask everyone that?
[00:29:21]  And they're like, We have to, yes, they do.
[00:29:23]  And I was like, Is that common in West Virginia?
[00:29:24]  Like, no, it's not actually, it's the difference between a family tree and a D and a helix, yeah, yeah.
[00:29:29]  I mean, I remember in Boston when my dad and his second wife got married, they had to take blood tests, and that was part of it.
[00:29:36]  It used to be very, very common that they would make sure that you're not related.
[00:29:40]  And if you look at actually the history of Europe, it is the removal of intrafamilial marriage.
[00:29:47]  That made there be more diversity in Europe.
[00:29:50]  You know, it was not only that.
[00:29:53]  It's not only that.
[00:29:54]  It's that inherently.
[00:30:06]  People are smarter or less smart is because when you marry your cousins, it turns out it's a bad idea.
[00:30:10]  And that's part of what the left is a bad idea.
[00:30:13]  It's a bad idea.
[00:30:27]  It's a bad idea to first order, you know.
[00:30:29]  And but but they're debating that in parliament in the UK now about then and people are saying if you don't allow cousin marriage, you're Islamophobic, you know.
[00:30:38]  Well, no, I mean, if that's what we can say, part of our problem in our society today is we have stopped saying some cultures are better than others.
[00:30:46]  There used to be a time there were cultures that said it was okay to eat people, and we said nope, not okay.
[00:30:50]  There were cultures that said child sacrifice was okay, and we said nope.
[00:30:54]  That's not okay.
[00:30:55]  But somehow we have forgotten that.
[00:30:57]  And it is okay for us to say the American culture is the best culture that's ever existed.
[00:31:01]  Well, and we should say it.
[00:31:02]  We should.
[00:31:02]  And we used to.
[00:31:02]  And if you don't like it, get out.
[00:31:04]  That used to be a thing that was common.
[00:31:05]  Yeah.
[00:31:06]  And people would say America's the best country.
[00:31:07]  But now we're up against the internet.
[00:31:09]  So you really have to prove it.
[00:31:10]  Words aren't enough.
[00:31:11]  We got to show the world that we can lead this thing.
[00:31:13]  I think we've been doing that.
[00:31:14]  And, you know, a good example is in terms of like, you know, Americans, like there's not a lot of cousin marriage.
[00:31:20]  Everybody marries somebody totally different from their background.
[00:31:23]  That's true.
[00:31:24]  I want to.
[00:31:24]  Oh.
[00:31:25]  I want to jump to.
[00:31:26]  Well, hit your point before I jump to the next story.
[00:31:27]  No, I was just going to say I mean, with Hassan Piker, we kind of started this by saying, Oh, isn't this disastrous for Democrats?
[00:31:33]  I don't know that that's true because they seem to be embracing him and sort of glossing him.
[00:31:39]  Obviously, he's on the New York Times podcast.
[00:31:41]  He's getting platformed.
[00:31:42]  He's invited to Yale to speak at the same time that, for instance, at UCLA, a woman who survived the 10 7 attacks was faced with protests because it was offensive to students that.
[00:31:55]  Somebody who had survived that kind of violence should speak because they were pro.
[00:32:00]  None of it makes any sense.
[00:32:01]  But it's interesting.
[00:32:03]  We're also saying, you know, Obama spending time with Zoran Momdani.
[00:32:07]  So there is just an eagerness.
[00:32:09]  And you even saw it in the facial expression of the woman who was interviewing him.
[00:32:12]  There's so much eagerness to latch on to what they see as charisma and reaching the youth.
[00:32:18]  And no one in the Democratic Party is willing to call this out.
[00:32:23]  Well, my favorite part of the Yale. Speech was when Hassan said that the collapse of the Soviet Union was one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century.
[00:32:32]  And then he was like, after it ended, people were committing suicide.
[00:32:36]  They lost their jobs.
[00:32:37]  There was a lot of rape and children being murdered.
[00:32:40]  And it's funny because it's like, uh huh.
[00:32:42]  And all that was happening while the Soviet Union existed too.
[00:32:46]  So, your point is bad things the Soviet Union were doing persisted after they ended?
[00:32:51]  Okay.
[00:32:51]  Was he talking about the way it got broken up?
[00:32:54]  Because I think it was like businessmen that kind of.
[00:32:56]  Decided how it was going to happen.
[00:32:58]  And that's what we're trying to do.
[00:32:59]  He was saying that after the Soviet Union collapsed, there was a lot of suicide, murder, crime, and those bad things emerged from the collapse of the Soviet Union.
[00:33:06]  He's trying to make this point that while the Soviet Union was bad for a lot of reasons, they had some stability, and after they fell, everything was chaotic and destructive.
[00:33:14]  And the problem is, the Soviet Union went and, like, you know, I don't know, killed like 30 million.
[00:33:17]  They had everybody in like 30 million people.
[00:33:19]  There's like so many people in jail.
[00:33:20]  Yeah, Ukrainians starved to death in the, was it the 30s, the Holodomor?
[00:33:24]  Yeah.
[00:33:24]  And they had ethnic supremacy movements.
[00:33:28]  And yeah, so all of that was really bad.
[00:33:30]  We don't like the Soviet Union at all.
[00:33:32]  And Hassan, you know, I wonder too, because how does someone so intentionally, like, you know, I don't think he's stupid.
[00:33:42]  I don't think you get to these positions by being dumb, but he is dishonest.
[00:33:46]  And, uh, There's a lot of examples of this.
[00:33:49]  Here's what I'm going to do.
[00:33:49]  I'm going to jump to this from the New York Times.
[00:33:51]  This is the article where they actually highlight the interview with Hassan.
[00:33:54]  The rich don't play by the rules, so why should I?
[00:33:57]  Is that a quote from Hassan?
[00:34:02]  I'm just going to do this real quick.
[00:34:04]  I really want to see if that's something he actually said.
[00:34:07]  Because if it is.
[00:34:09]  Okay, no.
[00:34:09]  Okay, Spiegelman said that.
[00:34:11]  I was going to say, if Hassan said that, I was going to say he is rich.
[00:34:15]  But I want to jump to this portion of the interview.
[00:34:19]  So, you can understand the depravity that is the modern liberal condition.
[00:34:24]  Tolentino says, This is one of the individuals on the podcast for the New York Times.
[00:34:28]  One thing that should be legal that isn't, bracket.
[00:34:32]  I'm going to read the bracket for you in a second, the M dash, sorry, but I want to finish her thought.
[00:34:38]  One thing that should be legal that isn't may be things like blowing up a pipeline.
[00:34:43]  Let's say that.
[00:34:44]  Now, there's a big thing in the middle there that I do think is worth reading, but just to point out, Her idea is it should be legal to blow up pipelines.
[00:34:54]  Now, let me read what you said.
[00:34:55]  One thing that should be legal that isn't, it's interesting because I have to regularly explain this stuff to a small child and have so thoroughly explained it to her that some things are against the rules, but they're okay, depending on who you are.
[00:35:06]  And some things are not against the rules, but they're not okay.
[00:35:09]  There are so many perfectly legal things I do regularly that I find mildly immoral, like getting iced coffee in a plastic cup.
[00:35:15]  I find that to be a profoundly selfish, immoral, collectively destructive action.
[00:35:20]  I have taken so many planes for so many pleasure reasons.
[00:35:22]  I have acted in so many selfish ways that are not only legal, but they're sanctioned and they're unbelievably valorized culturally.
[00:35:29]  So, maybe things like blowing up a pipeline.
[00:35:31]  Let's say that.
[00:35:32]  She literally said it is morally wrong to drink coffee in a plastic cup, but it's okay to blow up a pipeline.
[00:35:40]  The current state of the modern liberal condition is that murder, terrorism, and theft are legal and acceptable, or should be legal and are acceptable.
[00:35:49]  I bet she also is complaining that gas prices are a dollar higher than when the conflict in Iran started.
[00:35:54]  She's not.
[00:35:55]  Did you see Greta Thunberg?
[00:35:56]  She doesn't have a car.
[00:35:57]  Did you all see Greta Thunberg?
[00:35:58]  I love this.
[00:36:00]  When Cuba gets sanctioned, she goes, they are stopping some oil from getting Cuba.
[00:36:05]  And it's like, lady, 10 years ago.
[00:36:07]  You made oil, you idiot.
[00:36:08]  You said ban all oil.
[00:36:10]  What do you think was going to happen?
[00:36:11]  Just give them some solar panels.
[00:36:13]  I'll drive over there and get solar panels.
[00:36:16]  It's all fake to advance this ideology.
[00:36:18]  These are all tools in their arsenal to try to get to communism.
[00:36:22]  You know what Hassan Piker should have said about the Soviet Union is they just didn't do enough communism.
[00:36:26]  That's how he felt.
[00:36:28]  That was the catastrophe.
[00:36:30]  They haven't really tried communism yet, it wasn't done the right way.
[00:36:34]  Way.
[00:36:34]  That's exactly what it is.
[00:36:36]  And then it's developed into vanguardism.
[00:36:37]  We technically never have had a communist system because a communist state is an oxymoron.
[00:36:40]  Communism means there is no state.
[00:36:41]  I haven't seen it.
[00:36:42]  You get this small group of 12 people into power, and then they, like with the Chinese and with the Russians, the Soviets, they just hold on and forever.
[00:36:48]  And then because it doesn't work.
[00:36:51]  That's why it doesn't work because the people in charge are going to always make it work to their own advantage.
[00:36:57]  And that is the funny thing is, it's people like this that end up in charge.
[00:37:01]  And then they don't mind flying on their private jets.
[00:37:04]  While they complain about everyone else driving a car.
[00:37:06]  Well, they make sure they don't use the closet up.
[00:37:08]  I gotta give him some respect.
[00:37:11]  I mean, conservatives are just the Republican Party.
[00:37:13]  I just, I really hate Republicans.
[00:37:17]  Bro, they're staring into the abyss.
[00:37:18]  Like, they don't know what's going on.
[00:37:20]  Republicans go up on stage in their suits and they go, you know, when I get into office, I'm gonna say slow down there, Democrats.
[00:37:28]  And everyone cheers and waves their American flags.
[00:37:30]  And then Democrats go up on stage and what did Hakeem Jeffries just say?
[00:37:33]  Maximum warfare.
[00:37:35]  So.
[00:37:35]  I've been in Congress a year, and you're right.
[00:37:37]  I'll tell you what I've learned.
[00:37:38]  Democrats ruthlessly use their power to advance their ideology, which frankly I find evil.
[00:37:44]  And most Republicans are content to manage our decline.
[00:37:47]  Yep.
[00:37:48]  We just have to be polite.
[00:37:50]  We must be polite.
[00:37:51]  Don't be too aggressive.
[00:37:52]  Don't fight too hard.
[00:37:53]  That wouldn't be nice.
[00:37:54]  There's a great analogy.
[00:37:56]  Curtis Yarvin, I think, said this that Republicans treat power the way a wine snob treats alcohol, and Democrats treat power the way an alcoholic treats alcohol.
[00:38:07]  Great analogy.
[00:38:08]  And it's true.
[00:38:09]  And I can tell you, being inside for the last year, that is what it is like.
[00:38:12]  I also think inherently, like conservatives, the conservative impulse, and most Republicans are conservatives, is to maintain the status quo, is to preserve what we have.
[00:38:23]  And naturally, most Democrats are revolutionaries.
[00:38:27]  They want to destroy, they want to blow things up.
[00:38:29]  That is the progressive revolutionary impulse.
[00:38:32]  You know how I imagine it?
[00:38:34]  There's like high school, you know, it's like a maybe like a middle school playground.
[00:38:39]  And there's this kid with like a leather jacket and his hair's all messy.
[00:38:43]  And, you know, all the girls are like, oh, he's a bad boy.
[00:38:45]  That's the Democrats.
[00:38:46]  And then there's this like nerdy kid who's like walking.
[00:38:50]  And then the kid in the jacket shoves him to the ground.
[00:38:53]  And then all of his friends start laughing.
[00:38:54]  And the nerdy kid gets up and goes, huh, that was really funny of you to do that to me.
[00:38:58]  You're so smart.
[00:38:59]  And he's like, yeah, shut up, get out of here.
[00:39:01]  That's how I view the Democrats and the Republicans.
[00:39:03]  Remember when Bowman pulled the sign off the door and then opened it, committing a crime?
[00:39:10]  And then they're just like, we're not going to do anything about it.
[00:39:12]  Look, they're doing it right now.
[00:39:14]  I mean, the Democrats have said, we're not going to fund the people who protect the border and manage immigration and custom enforcement.
[00:39:21]  And Schumer called them all evil in the last day or two.
[00:39:24]  So that is what they think.
[00:39:25]  They don't believe in law.
[00:39:26]  Schumer said evil.
[00:39:27]  He called them evil and rogue and everything.
[00:39:30]  These are people who literally check your passport.
[00:39:33]  When you come in and out of the border, I mean, that is where we are, where there is good and there is evil.
[00:39:39]  And unfortunately, I think a lot of my colleagues refuse to understand this is not our fathers, this is not our grandfathers.
[00:39:46]  I don't think so.
[00:39:46]  I think they're cowards.
[00:39:48]  That is true as well.
[00:39:48]  I think, you know, because you can see there's a handful of Republicans that are not cowards and they get into trouble in the media.
[00:39:54]  They're willing to stand up, speak out.
[00:39:56]  I'm one of them.
[00:39:56]  You know, perhaps, yeah, cause fights.
[00:39:59]  But many Republicans just keep their heads down, shut up.
[00:40:03]  It's easier to do.
[00:40:04]  Yeah, because regarding the decline of America and like reversing that.
[00:40:08]  What, how, like, what are you like into the technocracy?
[00:40:10]  I don't see like a better world than a technocracy.
[00:40:13]  I just don't want global totalitarian networks that seize your free speech and shut off your bank account.
[00:40:18]  Well, but that's where we're headed.
[00:40:20]  I mean, that's what the liberals were doing.
[00:40:21]  They were deplatforming everyone who disagreed with them.

=== AI Energy Infrastructure Ahead (05:07) ===

[00:40:24]  That's what they were using technology to do.
[00:40:26]  We're the side that wants to let people be able to say whatever they want.
[00:40:29]  You know, you may get criticized for doing it, but I think there's too many people who are willing to just go along with the grand slide.
[00:40:35]  And it is very, very frustrating.
[00:40:37]  And I wish we were willing to fight more.
[00:40:39]  I do this job.
[00:40:40]  For two reasons.
[00:40:41]  They're my children, and I'm very, very worried about what the future holds for them.
[00:40:45]  I'm not convinced that the America they'll inherit will be the America that we grew up in.
[00:40:49]  You just got to make sure that they lift, you know, and they're trained with the firearms.
[00:40:53]  I wanted my oldest son to watch tonight, but he's at the gym.
[00:40:56]  So that's a good thing.
[00:40:58]  That's a good thing.
[00:40:58]  There you go.
[00:40:58]  It seems like it's like society's hanging on to the 20th century with oil and all these old technologies, and we're rapidly advancing to light speed information, like AI communication, virtual realities, you know.
[00:41:12]  Some of these wild new technologies like talking plasma were in.
[00:41:15]  It's actually an old tech, bro.
[00:41:16]  I know.
[00:41:17]  Like 20 years ago.
[00:41:17]  I know.
[00:41:17]  And people still don't know what it is.
[00:41:18]  Some people still don't know what it is.
[00:41:21]  But most of maybe Congress doesn't, can't under.
[00:41:22]  Their minds aren't intelligent enough to comprehend the potential outcomes of reality in the future.
[00:41:31]  And they're just like, whatever, we'll just get more oil and just keep doing the same thing until we get more oil.
[00:41:36]  There's different members of Congress with different specialties and areas of expertise.
[00:41:39]  I know.
[00:41:39]  But what it seems like as a whole, most of the body seems oblivious.
[00:41:45]  No, it's morally weak.
[00:41:47]  I don't know.
[00:41:47]  It seems like they're confused and distorted because they don't know what to do.
[00:41:50]  I'm fairly certain, correct me if I'm wrong, but you probably have a better understanding due to classified briefings on technology than the average person, than the average American.
[00:41:58]  Yeah, and I benefit.
[00:42:00]  That's the world I came from.
[00:42:01]  I spent 22 years as a software entrepreneur.
[00:42:03]  And so maybe I understand it better than most.
[00:42:06]  My point to you, Ian, is that we are hearing from members of Congress that they've been briefed on advanced technologies already.
[00:42:12]  So, your idea that they're unaware of these things, they're more aware than you are.
[00:42:16]  But sometimes people oppose the technology.
[00:42:18]  So, let me give you a great example.
[00:42:19]  So, AI is a big deal.
[00:42:21]  I mean, you were playing unbelievable songs that you created with AI.
[00:42:25]  But to do AI, you need to have a lot of energy to make the computers work.
[00:42:29]  And now you'll have people say, I don't want one of these data centers in my backyard.
[00:42:33]  You know, someone's going to win the AI race.
[00:42:35]  Is it going to be America?
[00:42:36]  Or is it going to be China?
[00:42:37]  And I will tell you, there are a lot of us working hard on it.
[00:42:39]  I have a bill that deals with AI.
[00:42:41]  Brian Mast, who chairs the Foreign Affairs Committee that I sit on, has spent a ton of time getting us up to speed on AI.
[00:42:47]  But then we're against those who are like, oh my gosh, I don't want an AI data center in my backyard for X, Y, and Z reasons.
[00:42:54]  So these, there are companies.
[00:42:55]  They're getting out, apparently.
[00:42:57]  And they take a lot of energy, and people are legitimately worried that you'll put an AI center out here.
[00:43:03]  It'll take all the energy and it'll make everybody else's rates go up.
[00:43:07]  So we have to be innovative in how we.
[00:43:09]  Harness energy because here's what I'll tell you China's building factories every day, so they have the energy.
[00:43:14]  They are way ahead of us in one way.
[00:43:16]  They are building the energy infrastructure.
[00:43:18]  It's not that it's advanced energy, they're just going to have a lot of it.
[00:43:21]  We have to make sure we do the same so that we can compete.
[00:43:24]  Aren't they creating a lot more coal plants?
[00:43:25]  Oh, yeah, they are.
[00:43:26]  Yeah, they sell us the solar panels, they sell us the solar panels that they make with the coal fired plants.
[00:43:34]  So much of what the left pushes on us is a scam, yes.
[00:43:39]  And this is one of them.
[00:43:40]  The whole thing's a scam, the SPLC being.
[00:43:43]  The best example or the most frequent example.
[00:43:45]  It's all a lie.
[00:43:46]  It is a lie to control us, destroy our civilization, destroy what's made America America.
[00:43:50]  And it's why we've got to fight back against it.
[00:43:52]  I think you're right.
[00:43:52]  I think it is about control.
[00:43:54]  It's about controlling people because if you control the energy and you control everybody's jobs and you get rid of private property, then suddenly everyone is working for the government or getting money from the government, getting fed from the government, getting their health care from the government.
[00:44:09]  And then suddenly you're not an independent person.
[00:44:12]  You're not a liberty, you're not a free person.
[00:44:14]  You're a person who.
[00:44:16]  Serves government and government, of course, is supposed to serve us.
[00:44:18]  And then they could do communism the real way that it's never been tried.
[00:44:22]  Yes, smart contracts.
[00:44:22]  Let's jump to the story from the Post Millennial.
[00:44:25]  114,000 New Yorkers have fled since in 2025, ahead of the Momdani taking of the Gracie Mansion.
[00:44:33]  Across all income levels, more people moved out of New York City than moved in.
[00:44:38]  The only thing I would say is a lot of people are like, yeah, that'll show them.
[00:44:40]  No, this is what they want to happen.
[00:44:42]  Take a look at this from the New York Post.
[00:44:44]  Ken Griffin's Citadel claps back at Momdani's viral penthouse video.
[00:44:48]  Threatens to scrap $6 billion New York City development.
[00:44:52]  Do it.
[00:44:53]  Do not put $6 billion into New York.
[00:44:58]  I can sit here and talk about accelerationism all day and say, aha, people are going to leave New York.
[00:45:03]  They want that.
[00:45:04]  It allows them to consolidate power because the people who are leaving are the people who vote against this.
[00:45:08]  But if you pull your investment out, they have no power.
[00:45:12]  They will lord over a pile of ashes.
[00:45:15]  If people keep investing in New York City despite knowing this psychopathic crackpot has taken over, You will enrich and empower him.
[00:45:24]  He will steal your assets.
[00:45:26]  You put that money in his jurisdiction, he will put it in his pocket.
[00:45:29]  So instead of just threatening to do it, why don't you go ahead and Do it.
